Two days later in the Bradley's apartment--------------------------------------------------------
The last days were like usual. Training sessions, unexpected attacks from Lothor, racing and working at Strom Chargers filled their days. It was now very early in the morning and Dustin slowly woke up. He looked at his still sleeping lover. He had the same damn nightmare again in the past nights and had given up trying not to scream because Hunter woke up every time he was crying. Today they had to go do the groceries because they were running out of food again. They had agreed with Blake that one week he would do the groceries while the week after that he and Hunter would do the groceries. Now it was their turn. Although Blake was more at Tori's then here he still kept buying food when it was his turn. Everyone started wonder how long it would take before he would move in with Tori. They all guessed soon and when Blake moved in with Tori, Dustin would move in with Hunter. Dustin stepped out of bed and got dressed. He walked to the living room and made breakfast for him and Hunter. He decided to make pancakes. He loved that but most of the time he tried making it, the kitchen was a complete mess so Hunter had forbidden him to make pancakes but Hunter was still asleep. Dustin smiled. Hunter would freak if he saw the mess he probably was gonna make.
A while later, he was ready and carried a plate of pancakes back to Hunter's room and put it on the small table that was located next to the bed. Then he sat down on the side of the bed and gently ran his fingers through Hunter's dirty blond hair. He knew Hunter was a light sleeper so he was likely to wake up and he did. Hunter yawned and stretched out.
" Good morning." Dustin said. Hunter smiled in response and looked at the trail of pancakes.
" That means cleaning up again." Hunter winked. Dustin chuckled.
" I swear, there's less mess then usual." Dustin replied. Hunter laughed and ate the pancakes. Dustin leaned against Hunter's chest again, closing his eyes and falling back asleep. After he ate the pancakes, he laid Dustin on the bed again, kissing him softly on the forehead and taking the trail back to the kitchen. He sighed as he looked at he mess. It was less then usual but still. He started cleaning and was done half an hour later. He sat down on the couch, waiting for Dustin to wake up again so that they could do the shopping. Normally he would go alone but Dustin didn't like being alone and got scared every time he was alone so Hunter never left his side not even for a minute.
A while later Dustin was awake again and ready to go shopping. They took Hunter's car and drove to the nearest shop. It wasn't a big one but they found what they needed there. About half an hour later, they came out with the stuff they needed and returned to the car. They put their groceries away and decided to go to a café. About halfway there when they were walking through a park, Hunter saw something he didn't like very much: the same five guys hanging out. Dustin didn't notice and happily continued to talk to him about something. Hunter wasn't exactly listening. Now what? He couldn't just walk past them and Dustin still hadn't spot them.
" Ya know Dustin, maybe we should go home. I'm a little tired." Hunter interrupted him. Dustin looked at him strange.
" 'kay." Dustin replied, continuing his talk about whatever he had seen this time as they started to return to the car.
" Well, well. If it isn't our favourite couple." Hunter heard the so familiar voice of the leader as he called out to them. Dustin immediately froze in his steps as he too recognised the voice. Hunter cursed.
" Guys, you know that park. Get your asses over here and fast." Hunter spoke in his morpher before turning around. Dustin ,too turned around as fear was clear on his face. Hunter looked around. Great, there was no one around. With a little bit of luck, the others would get here soon as they figured out something was wrong. The five walked over to them.
" I see our lesson didn't work now, did it?" Leo (leader) mocked. He motioned the other four to stop walking. Leo walked a little closer and ran his fingers over Dustin's face. Hunter grew angry. That idiot wasn't gonna hurt Dustin ever again. Hunter grabbed his wrist and painfully twisted. Leo yelped and pulled his hand back out of Hunter's grasp as he glared at him.
" Adam, Glenn beat him up some more will ya?" Leo asked. The two nodded as they walked over to Hunter. Hunter wasn't gonna go down without a fight. Not this time. He stepped in front of Dustin as Leo reached out for him again.
" Stay away from him." Hunter hissed. Leo shook his head.
" I'm making the rules here." He said. He pushed Hunter aside. Hunter lost his balance and fell but was quickly on his feet again, kicking Leo hard in the stomach. He noticed Dustin wasn't gonna be much of a help as he was still frozen in his steps. Hunter couldn't blame him. Glenn and Adam launched their own attack at Hunter. Hunter blocked as good as he could but had to admit they were good. They fought in the ways of the air ninja? Whaoo, that wasn't good. They had an advantage that there were two of them. He learned from sparring with Shane that he was in trouble if the others or some one for that matter didn't come soon. He was once again, kicked back and fell. He looked at Dustin who was making a attempt at pushing Leo away from him when he Leo was kissing him again. Hunter groaned. Just great. Fine he could play dirty ,too. Time for a little distraction. He closed his eyes as a lightning shot through the air, startling the attackers. Hunter took advantage of that to get past Adam and Glenn and kicked Leo back as he ,too was startled by the lightning.
" You okay?" Hunter asked. Dustin nodded as he too stood in a defensive stance next to Hunter.
The others got Hunter's frantic call for help. Cam had immediately tracked down the signal with the other by his side and just saw how a lighting lit up the area as Leo jumped away from Dustin and hunter kicked him back. Shane muttered some ugly names under his breath.
" Let's go!" Shane yelled, ready to streak.
" Shane, no streaking." Cam said. Shane glared.
" I'm gonna streak. I don't care if it is against whatever the rules are. Hunter and Dustin are in trouble and look at those guys. Doesn't that rings a bell. Remember the description Hunter gave the police of those guys who attacked them?" Shane asked. Cam eyes widened as he realised what was going on.
" Tori, call that detective and tell him to meet us at the park. And screw the rules, we're gonna streak!" Cam said. The others nodded their agreement as they streaked off after Tori made a quick call with the police.
Meanwhile in the park, Hunter and Dustin looked as the guys closed in on them.
" Pity there's no one around to help you." Leo mocked.
" Wanna bet?" A very familiar voice said. The five turned around and looked at a VERY pissed Shane, Tori, Blake and Cam. Hunter and Dustin smiled. They had a serious advantage now 'cause unknown to these clown they were skilled Ninja's too.
" You know them?" Leo asked, not scared. He was a skilled fighter and no one could hurt him.
" We are their friends." Shane said, crossing his arms and taking a step forward. Behind the five their backs, Hunter pointed at Glenn and Adam and then at Shane, indicating they fought like him. Shane's eyes widened and nodded. This might give some trouble.
Leo whispered something to the other four. The four nodded as they rushed forward to Shane, Tori, Blake and Cam. Leo turned back to them.
" No it's between us three." Leo said.
" Cool, so we finally have a chance to kick your butt." Dustin said, more brave then he felt. Hunter snickered as he saw Leo's expression turn icy. Leo ,thunder ninja, charged forward and aimed a kick for Dustin's stomach. Dustin blocked rather easy and kicked Leo back while Hunter kicked him in the face. Leo groaned and tackled Hunter to the ground before kicking Dustin in the stomach. Hunter jumped up and blocked a kick.
Meanwhile, the others had some trouble of their own. Shane was up against Glenn and was making a brave attempt to keep him busy. Blake was fighting Adam. Blake had slight advantage but wasn't sure how long he could keep going. Tori was against Ben, a fellow water Ninja. They had about the same strength but Tori had the advantage that she mastered the water tricks better. Cam was against Jason. Jason was an earth Ninja and disappeared more then once in the ground, leaving Cam to guess where he would appear.
" Dustin!" Cam yelled. Dustin turned around and just saw Jason disappearing in the ground. Dustin saw the problem. He looked at Hunter who nodded at him and then ran to Cam. Cam at his turn went to help Hunter out.
Dustin looked around as Jason still hadn't come up again. He slightly felt the earth shook and then Jason appeared behind him but before he had a chance to attack Dustin; Dustin kicked him in the stomach as he flew back against Glenn who released his grip on Shane. Dustin ran to Shane.
" You okay?" he asked. Shane nodded and stood back up.
" The guy's tuff." Shane told him. Glenn and Jason ran forward, looking very pissed. Glenn kicked Dustin back and then kicked Shane who blocked but couldn't avoid a vicious kick in the gut. Shane fell to the ground, barely conscious.
" Everybody, freeze!" A voice yelled. Everyone turned to see who it was and much to the rangers their joy saw Detective Steve Sloan, standing there with some cops behind him. Steve yelled some orders as they arrested the five attackers. Dustin immediately ran to Shane.
" Shane!" He nearly yelled sinking down on his knees next to him. Shane groaned.
Meanwhile Leo managed to get loose and took a gun from one of the cops and aimed at Dustin.
" Dustin, watch out!" Hunter yelled as he dove in front of Dustin just as Leo pulled the trigger. He felt a sharp pain in his side and fell to the ground, blood streaming over his shirt. Dustin turned around as he heard the shot. His eyes widened as he noticed Hunter's pain filled face. Shane was sitting up again. Dustin crawled over to Hunter, pulled out his shirt and pushed it firmly against the wound.
Steve was yelling at the cop from whom Leo had the gun. The cops had cuffed Leo but he couldn't help smile satisfied when he saw Hunter laying on the ground in pain. Steve sat down next to Dustin.
" Don't worry. I called an ambulance. My dad and friend work at the hospital where they are taking him. They are both alerted and standing by." Steve said. Dustin nodded. Blake sat down on Hunter's other side and took his hand. Tori, Cam and Shane stood behind him.
Finally after a quarter which seemed hours the ambulance arrived and loaded a now unconscious Hunter in. Dustin and Blake drove with the ambulance while the other returned to ninja Ops to get Tori's van and then went to the hospital. At the time they arrived there, hunter was in surgery. They took place in the waiting room as Blake informed them on Hunter's condition.
" He has lost a lot of blood. They aren't sure if he will survive but they are doing everything they can." Blake said through his tears. Dustin was to shocked to say anything and just sat there, staring at nothing. Shane sat down next to him and laid a comforting arm around his shoulder. They were all praying that Hunter would make it…
