Looking for the power
"Thanks, Sensei, but I can't stay here. All my stuff and clothes are in the apartment, even my laptop" Raine said. "Well, go for them and come back here. You can't stay alone now that Lothor knows about you" Sensei said calmly.
"Yes, we can take you and help you to move" offered Hunter. "We could go in your truck, Bro" said Blake. "Go with her, I will stay here cleaning and preparing a room for Raine" said Tori always smiling. "So, no more words, my father gave an order" said Cam, looking at Raine for an answer. "Ok, I just want to thank you for all the things you're doing." Raine said.
So, some moment later they were on the road towards Raine´s place. Hunter parked the truck in a small village near the beach. "There´s just one problem" Raine pointed out. "What is it now?" said Shane angrily. "You'll see" said Raine opening the door of a big place that used to be a garage. In that moment three cats came to welcome her. "Yes, babies, have you missed me? Me too" said Raine half talking and half roaring and snoring like a cat.
"I can not abandon them. They are my baby girls." Raine said to her friends. "What are we suppose to do with Sensei? He is a guinea pig" said Blake. "Well, but they are not supposed to interact. We can find a place for all your animals outside the Ops. In the woods we have a place that you can use like a Lab." said Cam, having a look around to all the cages with dogs and squirrels and reptiles.
"Well, we are all clear, so let's start" said Shane. "Ok, where do we start?" asked Blake. "We can move the cages first, while Cam and you can move your room, what do you think, Raine?" asked Hunter. "Ok, just take care with the squirrel, it's hurt" said Raine. In a moment all of them were moving everything to the truck.
"Do you have more clothes in other room?" asked Cam, filling the last bag. "No, just that bag" answered Raine lifting a cardboard box with books. "Cam, could you please help me to pack up my computer? I still have some work to do for the University" asked Raine. "Sure, where it is?" asked Cam. "In my room, too" she replied.
"Ok, we're done!" said Shane. "Ready to go?" "Ready" said Raine, giving the last look to the place she called home.
As soon as they came back to the Ops, Raine found a room with a beautiful bed ready to receive her. "Thanks, Tori. It is beautiful!" said Raine. "Welcome home, Raine" said Tori, smiling and giving her a very warm hug. "Yes, welcome home, Raine." said Sensei. "Tomorrow I hope to see you very early for your training." "I'll be there, Sensei" she answered back, smiling to her new family.
That night was perfect. After working for a while she went to bed. She had beautiful dreams, full of the sounds from the woods, but suddenly something woke her up. She remained in the silence for a moment, and then she got up and walked through the corridor in barefoot just to avoid making any noise. She could see light in the main room, and the noise of somebody typing… "Are you still working?" she asked and Cam turned back to her.
"Yes, I had to finish coding some information" he answered with tiredness in his voice. "I heard somebody typing, but never imagined it was you!" she said walking towards the computer. "I normally go to bed very late" said Cam with his hands rubbing his eyes. "I think that you need to sleep. Sensei told me that tomorrow we have to train very early" Raine pointed out. "Do you want something to drink? Maybe a glass of warm milk?" she offered. "That would be nice" said Cam smiling.
"Ok, but first turn off the computer and go to your room, I will take you the milk for you can sleep quickly" she said. "I thought I was the only mother hen here" said Cam. "Well, maybe not" said Raine smiling and walking towards the kitchen.
She came out with a glass of warm milk towards Cam's bedroom and he was already in bed, looking really tired. "Ok, take and drink it all. You'll feel better" she said sweetly. "Thanks" said Cam and started to drink it. "It is delicious!" "Ok, now sweet dreams" said Raine walking to the door. "Cam, thanks for finding a place for my animals" "Please, do not mention it. They will be safe here and you also have a place to work "said Cam licking the milk of his lips. "Good night" said Raine trying not to lose the control. "Good night" answer him back, falling asleep.
The next morning Raine rose early and began going through her warm-ups. She went through her katas with practiced ease, she had no idea that two pairs of eyes were watching her every move.
"Raine seems like a lovely person," Sensei murmured to his son. Cam nodded, "she is dad." "I have a strong feeling that you have an attraction to her." "Maybe dad, but I can't be in a relationship now...I mean battling with Lothor, until he's destroyed...I can't get involved. Plus, I don't want to jump into anything like I did last time."
Sensei nodded, "I understand your hesitation son, but I have a feeling Raine is not like Lauren at all." "She isn't, she's kind, loving, sweet...all the characteristics any man would love to find in a woman." "Yes Cam, but I must warn you, do not jump into another hasty relationship. For Raine may seem kind and all those things you say she is, we do not know much about her."
Cam looked at Sensei and nodded, "I won't dad." He then looked down at the ground; the sudden memory of when he met Lauren came flooding into his mind.
He was working on his laptop under a shady tree at the college campus. He was nearly completed with his essay for Advance Calculus, then he could go back to the Academy to help his father. He suddenly felt a presence next to him, he looked up and saw the most beautiful woman he ever laid his eyes on.
Cam shook his head to rid himself of the memory, now was not the time to think of her.
In a moment, the rest of the team had joined Cam and Sensei and were all of them observing Raine in her silent training.
"Hey, Raine, that jump was awesome!" said Dustin when she finished. "Thanks" answered Raine blushing, and noticing that all the attention was centered on her movements.
The training was really hard that morning. All of them looked tired when coming back to the Ops. "I'm hungry" said Dustin. "I could even eat Sensei's food" said Shane. "Hey, stop complaining. We have our lunch waiting for us at the Ops" said Cam walking and looking for Raine with his eyes.
At the Ops, they all helped to prepare the table with the food and sat down around it.
"Important thing is destiny" said Sensei, breaking the silence. "All of us have a purpose on earth. As you know, all of you have a mission to accomplish. Nothing happens at random. Everything has an explanation and maybe if we choose the correct way, we can do important things." Sensei was talking and walking from one side of the table to the other. So, when the students finished their lunch, he continued. "It is important that our new member knows who you really are." said calmly.
"Sensei, what do you mean?" asked Hunter opening his blue eyes. "I mean that you have to show Raine what her destiny is" said Sensei crossing his arms. "Do we have to do it right now, Sensei? Don't you think is too soon?" asked Tori. "No, we don't have much time. Remember that Lothor is preparing his movement. As soon as we are complete, we have to plan our attack, too." answered the Sensei.
"Ok, guys, you have listened. Ready?" asked Shane. "Ready" all of them answered together. "Ninja Storm…. Thunder Storm…. Samurai Storm….. Ranger form … Ha!" In a moment, she had in front of her eyes six power rangers.
"Rangers!" said Raine. "You are power rangers! It's incredible!"
"Yes, Raine, they are the defenders of our planet. Six powers that combined are able to defeat even the Evil of Lothor. That's why it is necessary that you find your power as soon as possible, even though I know that you know it. Here, in front of you is the power of the air, embodied by Shane, the power of the earth, which is Dustin; the power of the water, that Tori has; the power of thunder and lightning; with Hunter and Blake, and the power of the mind, that Cam has. We need you to join your power to them for us to be invincible"
"Power down!" said Shane and his friends came back to their normal appearance.
"Where must I look for my power, Sensei?" asked Raine still in shock. "Look deep into your element" said the Sensei wisely. "My element… my element…. Got it! The nature! Is that, Sensei?" asked Raine. "You have all the answers, Raine" said the Guinea Pig. "Go now, and find it" and saying that, Raine stood up and walked to the door. "Good luck!" said Blake. All of them walked towards her and gave her a warm hug, all of them. It seemed to Raine that Cam's was the warmer and longer.
