Dreams 2: Blue Wolf Rising
Chapter 10: The Return of Lothor
Hunter and Tori arrived back at Hunter's place at the Thunder Ninja Academy. It had been a really long day, but everything turned out okay. Her cousin Kat was safe and Master Vile's plot had been foiled. Then she thought about Blake and how hurt he seemed to be. She loved Hunter now, but she still hated to see him hurt. Hunter hugged her from behind and kissed her cheek.
"He'll be okay Tor, I promise," Hunter said.
"I know, I just hate seeing him so down," Tori replied, as she turned in his embrace.
"That's because you're a sweet person and that's one of the many things I love about you," Hunter replied.
"I love you too," Tori replied.
"I have an idea. Why don't you go take a nice hot shower, while I make us some hot chocolate. And then when you come out, I'll give you one of my world class massages for those tense shoulders," Hunter said. Tori giggled and gave him a quick kiss before she headed for the bathroom.
She came out a while later in a sky blue spaghetti strap tank top and a pair of dark blue running pants and saw Hunter waiting for her. Hunter smiled and handed her a mug of hot chocolate. She sipped at the hot liquid, while he began to massage her shoulders.
"Mmm...wow, that feels amazing," Tori said.
"You're amazing," Hunter whispered in her ear, before he kissed her neck and shoulder. Hunter finished his massage and the two cuddled together for a while. Then, they both retired to separate rooms for the night after a final kiss since both of them had to get up to teach classes in the morning.
"Master, this intruder wishes to have an audience with you and he won't take no for an answer," Elsa said.
"It's all right Elsa, this is Master Vile. I have been expecting him to drop by," Mesagog replied.
"This is Master Vile? He looks like a normal human," Elsa said.
"I used to have an alien form much like any other villain, but Zordon cursed me with this human shell before he died. But I assure you I am Master Vile and I have all my powers," Vile said.
"Am I correct to assume that you wish to form an alliance?" Mesagog asked.
"I think it would be in both our best interests. Those rookie rangers don't worry me as much, but the Ninjetti rangers are far different," Vile replied.
"Yes, they are quite the nuisance," Mesagog replied.
"Together we could finally defeat them all," Vile said.
"Yes, I suppose an alliance is in order. But if I so much as suspect that you intend on betraying me, I promise that I will save the blue Ninjetti ranger the trouble by killing you myself," Mesagog growled.
"You need not worry about any betrayal, I assure you," Vile replied.
Elsa accepted Mesagog's new ally and then transported herself down to earth. She took on the persona as principal Randall and entered Reefside High, for school would begin in a few hours.
An eerie wind blue over the ground where the abyss of evil had once opened. A rumble was heard, as the ground began to crack open. Purple goo oozed out of the crack as the earth opened up. A black gloved hand reached out and the thing pulled itself out of the depths of the earth. Lightning cracked around him and his evil laughter echoed...
That afternoon, Shane, Dustin and Tori tested their ninjas fighting skills. The three Ninjas beat their students and then dismissed them to think about the defeat. The three friends began walking back toward Ops when they spotted a scroll hanging from a brand.
"Tori, Shane, Dustin, go to highest point in Blue Bay Harbor. Meet me there as the sun is setting. Do not speak of this to anyone until I have spoken to you first," Shane read. The three obeyed their sensei and arrived at the highest point around the time the sun was setting.
"How's the system running?" Tommy asked Hayley.
"I don't think it's working right. This is a map of California and if this reading is accurate then we have a blanket of evil over the whole state. If this is correct, then we're in a lot of trouble," Hayley replied.
"I'll call Billy, he'll definitely want to look at this," Tommy said. Hayley nodded and kept running tests and scans on the main operating system.
When the students arrived, they indeed found their sensei there, or so they thought.
"Is everything okay Sensei?" Tori asked.
"No, I'm afraid it's not," Sensei replied.
"Yeah, you're not looking so hot, no offense," Dustin mentioned.
"None taken Dustin," Sensei replied.
"So, what's up?" Shane asked.
"He's back. Lothor is back," Sensei said.
"No way," Shane replied in disbelief.
"We saw Lothor disappear into the abyss of evil," Tori reasoned.
"Dude, first Mesagog, then Master Vile, and now Lothor is back," Dustin replied.
"Cam has been working on a power up. Take these new wind disks and insert them in your morphers," Sensei said. The rangers did so and were suddenly struck with a powerful jolt of purple lightning. When it was over, evil flashed in their eyes.
"Well...how do you feel?" Sensei asked.
"Like Blue Bay Harbor needs to be destroyed," Shane said.
"Why stop there...I want the whole country," Tori replied.
"And then the world," Dustin said. The form of their sensei melted away to reveal Lothor.
"I was hoping you'd say that," he said.
Meanwhile, Cam was beginning to worry about his father. Marah and Kapri assured him that Sensei was fine, but Cam still couldn't shake the bad feeling he had. He left the Ninjas to train and went to look for him.
Billy and Kat arrived at Tommy's that afternoon. Billy began running his own scans on the main operating systems, but came up with the same readings as Hayley had. Billy turned to everyone present to report his findings.
"Everything's working perfectly," Billy said.
"You mean that blanket of evil over the whole state isn't a malfunction?" Tommy asked.
"Nope, that reading is accurate," Billy replied.
"It looks like the highest concentration is over...Blue Bay Harbor," Tommy said.
"Exactly," Billy replied.
"You don't think..." Tommy began.
"These readings match the reading we had three years ago when Lothor opened the abyss for the first time," Billy replied.
"Will you two stop beating around the bush. Is Lothor back or not," Kim demanded.
"It's looking that way, though we can't be sure until we actually see him," Billy replied. At that moment, the computer beeped, indicating evil activity.
Billy pulled a visual up on the screen and saw Lothor stalking into Reefside. Following him were the three wind ninja rangers. In their path, they left destruction.
"What the hell are they doing?" Connor exclaimed.
"Somehow, Lothor has probably taken control of them. Hayley, call Blake, Hunter and Cam immediately. I'm going to do a deep scan so I can determine what Lothor is controlling them with," Billy replied. Hayley sat at the comm panel and alerted the other three members of the Ninja team.
"All right, Connor, Kira, and Ethan, you three get out there and at least hold them at bay. Defend yourselves, but try not to hurt them. They're still our friends and they're still good inside," Tommy ordered. The three Dino rangers nodded.
"Dino Thunder, Power up, ha!" Connor called.
A few minutes later, Hunter, Blake and Cam arrived.
"They trashed the school and Lothor captured all the students," Cam reported.
"Tori..." Hunter said, as he watched her on the screen. Kat placed a hand on his shoulder.
"It's not really her Hunter. She's under a spell," Kat comforted. Hunter swallowed hard and nodded. He quickly glanced at his brother only to see his face void of emotion. He still wouldn't speak to them and was trying his best to gauge no reaction. But Hunter knew his little brother better than that.
"I think I know what's controlling them," Billy announced. The others gathered around eagerly.
"The controlling agent is the new chips in their morphers. Somehow, Lothor must have disguised himself as Sensei Watanabe and told them that these chips would give them some sort of power upgrade," Billy deduced.
"So what can we do?" Hunter asked.
"I'm creating new power disks that will reverse the effects of the contaminated ones. It's up to you, Blake and Cam to get them to trust you and get them to insert these disks in their morphers," Billy replied.
"Right, leave it to us," Hunter said, as he took the disks.
"Thunder Storm, Ranger Form, ha!" Hunter and Blake called.
"Samurai Storm, Ranger Form, ha!" Cam called.
"You know, that fool Lothor may be of use to use, don't you agree Vile?" Mesagog asked.
"Yes quite. We monopolize on what he's started and then use that idiot as our scapegoat," Vile replied.
"Elsa, bring him to me," Mesagog ordered.
"Yes master," Elsa obeyed.
"Reefside is about to get a whole lot more interesting,"
Tori aimed her water beam at Kira, but the yellow ranger quickly cancelled it with her ptera screech.
"Tori, we're friends, why are you doing this?" Kira asked.
"Friends, yeah right," Tori replied, as she tripped Kira.
"Yo Dustin, let's talk about this!" Ethan said, as he continued to use his hard skin to block Dustin's devastating blows.
"Talking's for losers," Dustin replied, as he shot underground and shot up, sending Ethan sprawling.
Connor used his super speed as an advantage against Shane. But unfortunately, he gained no advantage as he discovered Shane's Ninja streak was just as fast. The three Ninja rangers regrouped, ready to morph and turn up the heat. The Dino rangers stood ready to morph as well.
Elsa was successful in recruiting Lothor. Mesagog, Vile, and Lothor formed an alliance to bring down all the power rangers once and for all. However, their plans to use evil power rangers was about to be foiled...
"Wait!" Hunter called.
"Man, are we glad to see you guys," Connor said.
"Why are you glad, we stick with our own kind," Blake said, as the three joined the wind ninjas.
"First, we need you to take these disks. They'll give you a power boost," Cam said.
"We already got a boost from Lothor," Shane replied.
"Not like this one," Cam stated. The three took his word for it and replaced the bad disks with the new ones. The control was expelled and the wind ninjas were returned to normal.
"Man, what's going on?" Shane asked.
"Lothor had you guys under a spell," Cam said.
"Are you okay Tor?" Hunter asked.
"Yeah...just a little confused," Tori replied. Hunter put his arm around her and hugged her close. Jealousy flashed in Blake's eyes briefly, but he put it aside for the sake of their cause. The rangers reported back to Tommy's to gather and ready themselves for the upcoming battle on the horizon.
