Dustin was in the back fixing bikes when Tori came around the counter. She watched the deep in thoughts boy staring off in space before saying something.

"Hey, Dustin what's up?"

Dustin dropped his tool he was using and looked up at the beautiful blonde.

"Huh, oh hey Tor."

"What got you using your brain for once," she laughed but ended it when she didn't see a smile appear on her friend's face. "Dustin, is something wrong?" He got up from the bike and walked over to his friend.

"What…no, I mean… I don't know. I'm so confuse. Lately I haven't been sleeping and I can't even remember what I did last night. I just don't know what's wrong with me."

Tori walked up even closer to her tired friend.

"Well, Dustin did you tell Cam about this? Maybe he can help you or try to find something on his computer."

"I already did, this morning, after waking up in the woods."

"You what? You woke up where.?"

"Cam said that he'll try to see what he can do."

"Dustin, wait, you said you woke up in the woods?"

"Oh yeah speaking about Cam, he want me to tell you guys that we are having another meeting again today."

"But Dustin…. Oh man now I'm confused."

"Exactly, now you know how I feel. If Lothor's plan is to make me tired and confused, it's working…working big time."

Tori placed her arm around Dustin's neck and pulled him close.

"Don't worry, soon this will be all over and you can get back to your crazy yet goofy life."

Dustin let out a chuckle and so did Tori. She let him go and he went back to fixing up his bike. Tori saw Shane setting in the lounge and decide to join him. When she got to lounge area she happened to see Hunter and Blake sitting with him.

"Hey you guys," she said looking in Blake's direction.

"Hey Tor, how's our little buddy doing," asked Shane.

"Not so good. Whatever Lothor is up to, we better get rid of it, quick. I don't think Dustin can last much longer."

"Poor guy," said Hunter.

"Yeah, poor guy," Blake agreed.

Tori brought her attention back to Blake, who was looking at her and gave her a little smile. She smiled back.

"Oh yeah, Dustin told me to tell you guys that we have another meeting at Ninja Ops."

"Again, how many are we going to have," asked Hunter.

"I don't know but something telling me that we're going to have a lot."

Sudden their morphers went off and the four rangers jumped. They all looked around and decided to go in the back, in the storage room. Dustin joined them.

"Yeah go ahead Cam."

"I'm getting a reading downtown, look like one of Lothor's ghouls is on the lose."

"We're on it. Ready."

"Ready"

The five rangers, also joined by the green ranger, made their way downtown. They all looked around until they saw the black cape creature standing in the distance.

"Hey, that's the thing, the thing that attack me at my house," the yellow ranger bellowed.

"Shadow I presume," the green ranger said.

"At your service," shadow bowed.

"What do you want, Shadow," yelled the red ranger.

"Can't a monster come down to earth to see how his progress is going. So, tell me yellow ranger, how are you doing?

"None of your business," said the yellow ranger.

"Bad I see."

"Unless you're here to fight quit with the chit chat," said the crimson ranger.

"Me, fight all of you. Now that's an unfair advantage. Let's say I even up the score, Kalzacs!"

"Talk about unfair," said the baby blue ranger.

Out of no where appear twelve Kalzacs. The rangers stood in their fighting stands before heading up to their opponents and fighting them. Each had two to fight and the rangers were kicking their butts.

"Is that all you got Shadow," asked the navy ranger.

"Please, you under estimate me rangers."

Soon after he said that twelve more Kalzacs showed up and started to fight the rangers. This time the rangers were getting their butts kicks. Dustin was fighting the Kalzacs off of him as fast as he could but they kept on coming. He was getting weak and it showed in his fighting. Left and right Dustin was being thrown all over the place. He landed on the ground hard. He looked up and saw that Shadow was standing over him. He jumped to his feet and stood in position.

"No need for that yellow ranger."

"What do you want from me?"

"Nothing but to see you change into something evil."

"Not going to happen."

The yellow ranger ran towards Shadow and swung his sword around. Shadow block every swing and managed to knock the yellow ranger off his feet.

"Soon, you won't be as weak as you are now and will be able to fight or maybe kill off your opponents. You'll learn to enjoy every bit of it as you see them fall."

"No I won't"

The yellow ranger got up again and start to kick and swing his fists at Shadow. Shadow again blocked them. Instead of knocking him down, Shadow grabbed one of the yellow ranger's arm and twisted it behind him until the yellow ranger's back was facing him.

"Just give in, ranger. The sooner you do that the sooner you'll be strong again."

Dustin struggle to get free but he couldn't break free. He was about to give up when a beam of red light zip right pass him and hit Shadow in the shoulder. Letting go of his grip from the yellow ranger and on to the ground. The yellow ranger ran to his five friends, who were done with their red and black opponents that laid still on the ground. Shadow stood back up and looked around at his evil comrades down on the ground.

"You may won this battle but next time you won't. See you around yellow ranger."

Shadow disappeared along with the Kalzacs. The rangers looked around to make sure all signs of evil was gone before changing back to their civilian's clothes.

"Hey, Dustin you're alright, man," asked Shane.

"Yeah, I'm fine."

Dustin was about to start walking until he felt light headed. His knees became weak and everything was turning black. The last thing he heard was Tori yelling his name.
