"Kyle, this sucks," Andy muttered to her brother as they snuck their way around the various warehouses. "How are we supposed to find them?"
Not too far away, they heard the distinct sound of fighting and a small explosion. "That didn't sound good," Kyle said. "And yes this does suck."
Andy turned her head back from where they had just come from. "Uh, Kyle?" Kyle turned to his sister. "I think we've got company."
A swarm of Putrids was heading their way. "They came out of that building," Andy motioned. Before they could react, the creatures were around them.
"Let's do this," Kyle said. Andy nodded her head and they soon were doing battle. It may have been their twin connection or something, but they fought as if they were one person. Wherever one of them faltered, the other was there to help.
Within minutes the Putrids were extinguished. They looked at each other and ran towards the building they had seen them come out of.
Panting for air, the twins found themselves at an impasse as soon as they entered. The walls were covered in a thick green substance and Andy cringed.
"This is gross," she said as she tried not to touch it.
"Totally," Kyle agreed. A sudden sound came from down the corridor. "Come on!" They ran down the hall where they saw the familiar outline of two Putrids. They appeared to be pacing back and forth...guarding something.
"Where do you think they took them?' a voice asked.
"That sounds like Alyssa," Andy said.
"I don't know, but when they get back I'm going to kill the stupid walking pile of-" another voice said before she was cut off.
"Definitely Aunt Taylor," Kyle said.
Carefully they crept their way down the hall until they could see the cage-like rooms their family was in.
"Let's do this," Andy said. Kyle nodded his head and they charged at the creatures with a stealth that was honed after many hours of training.
The captives watched as two beams of blue and navy light entered their field of vision, literally obliterating the Putrids that were watching them.
"Who are you?" Eric demanded. The two figures stood and grinned at them.
"What? You're not happy to see us Uncle Eric?" Kyle asked.
"I've never been more happy to see you, squirts," Eric replied as Kyle neared the cell he and the others were in.
"Don't touch that Ky!" Kelly yelled. "Your mom already tried that...it's electrified or something."
It was then that Andy noticed the occupants of the other room. "Where are my parents? And my uncles?"
"Master Org took them," Taylor supplied.
"Where?"
"We don't know yet," Wes said as he neared the cage.
Jen went and stood next to him. "But we need to get them out of here and fast, before those things come back," she said motioning to the cell where the Ninja Storm Wives were.
"What about you all?" Laura asked.
"Like we said before, he's not after you guys. He's after us," Cole said. "Once your gone, we can keep him distracted while you help the kids."
"But how?" Sarah asked.
"I have a thought," Marah said. All eyes turned to her. She looked at her niece and nephew. "If you both concentrate, and I use my powers, we may be able to short this thing out long enough for them to escape."
"What about you?" Andy asked.
"I can use my powers against him... he doesn't even know I have them."
"It's worth a try," Kyle said at last. "You might want to stand back for this," he said to the others inside.
Laura, Sarah, and Kelly all backed away while the others watched as Kyle and Andy closed their eyes and pointed their hands at the interlacing vines. Marah too did the same.
Small streams of blue and navy light came from the twins, while and orange light came from Marah. A small opening began to form in the vines... it got bigger until it appeared that someone could fit through it.
"Go... I can't hold it much longer," Marah said to her cellmates. The women didn't hesitate and carefully made their way out to the twins. Marah dropped her hands, and Kyle and Andy did the same.
Hugs were exchanged, but the happy reunion was cut short when they heard shuffling coming their way. The five freed people ran and hid behind a small part of the wall.
"Drop them!" a voice commanded. "Master needs our help with those Rangers!" The shuffling ran away and the five slowly reemerged.
What met their eyes almost made them faint.
The six once powerful Ninja Storm Rangers were reduced to small piles in the room.
"Mum, dad?" Andy said as she neared the cell. All the rangers lifted their heads.
"Andy...Kyle... how?" Blake got out.
"It's a long story, but we'll tell you when we get you out," Kyle said as he, Andy, and Marah prepared to release them as well.
Before they could reopen the small door, Master Org appeared.
"What is this? Two lost little rangers trying to escape with MY prisoners?" he growled.
"We're not rangers you overgrown piece of-"Andy began.
"Easy killer," Taylor chided her. Andy grinned.
"Well, I can't exactly let you get away now can I?" he asked as he approached them with a swarm of Putrids behind him.
"Andrea, Kyle, GO!" Tori got out before she fell down again.
"Get them out of here!" Shane demanded as he caught one last glimpse of Kelly.
Without another thought, Andy and Kyle held onto Kelly and streaked off in their respective blue shades. Just as quickly, Sarah and Laura were gone in flashes of white and green.
"Inconceivable!" Master Org cursed.
"Their smarter than you think," Taylor said proudly.
Master Org turned to her. "Your sister already has suffered my wraith, along with your little friends... perhaps now you should go and watch your children's demise."
"Master!"
Master Org groaned and turned to one of the Orgs he had created earlier. "Vine Org...he's been destroyed, and the rangers have retreated."
Sighs of relief cam from the cells, but the great Org just grinned.
"Tomorrow is another day rangers...remember that."
He strode out of the hallway, leaving more Putrids than before on guard.
"At least they got out," Jen said as she began to sink to the floor. Wes sat with her.
"Yeah. Now all we have to do is figure out how to escape ourselves," he said.
In the other cell, the Ninja Rangers were slowly coming to. Marah filled them in on what had happened and they all felt a bit of relief.
"He drained our ninja powers to make those... Org things," Hunter said.
"It'll take a little while for us to regenerate," Cam supplied.
"Well then you all need to rest," Alyssa said from her side. "If they got half of us out, you know they won't stop until we're all free."
"And we're going to need all the power we can get," Shane said.
With that thought in mind, everyone settled in wondering what tomorrow would bring...
