Ok, I'm not good at writing fight scenes (in all honesty who is?) but I figured we needed a break from all the depressing stuff so I thought a happy 'blow the alien up' chapter was just what we needed… Short and sweet, here you go - enjoy!
Actually, I'm not sure why I've put this chapter in here. It seemed the right thing to do at the time so I apologise for it and I promise to make it up to you very soon!
"Where's Hunter?" Cam asked as Shane and Blake turned up, already morphed.
"I don't think he's going to be able to make it again." Shane answered grimly. "Let's just bust this dude then we need to talk."
"Oh, ok."
Dustin and Tori came running up already in their blue and yellow ranger outfits to join them.
"Look who's back." Dustin said, indicating Knightmare.
"Well hello rangers. Back for another beating?"
"Dream on, metal-man." Tori yelled back. "We ready to get rid of him once and for all?"
"Hell yeah!" Dustin said. "Let's get him!"
Ninja swords raised the three Wind Rangers charged at Knightmare, closely followed by Cam with his Samurai Sabre and Blake with his Thunder Staff.
After twenty minutes of battle with both sides giving and receiving serious blows, the Power Rangers decided that they weren't really getting anywhere. Cam was out of the battle already, as a well aimed blow from Knightmare's sword had caught his shoulder. He was sitting well out of harms way, waiting for his healing powers to kick in.
"Ok." Shane said as they regrouped. "I think it's time to put our weapons together."
"Not with mine." Blake said. "We can't have the Thunderstorm Cannon without Hunter's Crimson blaster."
"Damm him." Shane cursed. "Never mind, we'll put ours together and you fire yours at the same time it should have a similar effect."
In a very short time the three Wind Rangers had put their three weapons together to form the Storm Striker.
"All righty then, Storm Striker ready and raring to go." Shane said. "Blake, you ready with your Antler?"
Blake nodded and took aim.
"On my count… Three…Two…One!"
Two blasts of energy hit the alien simultaneously. There was a loud explosion and Knightmare disappeared in a blast of sparks. The rangers knew not to celebrate too early – Lothor was likely to send down a scroll of empowerment and make his monster grow. But, amazingly, Knightmare did not return in any shape or size.
"Wow, maybe Lothor's ran out of scrolls." Dustin said hopefully.
"Doubt it." Cam said, joining them, still holding his shoulder "But whatever the reason, he's gone for now."
They were filled with relief and Shane and Blake briefly forgot about Hunter, until Sensei's voice caught short their celebrations, "Rangers please report to Ninja Ops immediately."
Something was wrong…
