Yellow Terror, Crimson Rage
He slowly opened his eyes, seeing nothing but dim light. His ears strained to hear something, anything. Nothing, his heart sank. He sat up abruptly and immediately regretted it; he lied back down, curling into a ball, trying to stop the pounding in his head. He closed his eyes tightly, trying to remember what had happened. He remembered being at the beach with...Hunter... then Marah, Kapri and Kelzacs showed up. They grabbed him and now he was...he didn't know where he was, more than likely on Lothor's ship.
He heard footsteps echoing in the dimly lit hallway and curled up into a tighter ball. Silently that Hunter and the others would find him and bring him home soon...
"Hunter, will you knock it off? You're making me dizzy!"
"Huh?" Hunter stopped pacing and looked over at Tori who was glaring at him slightly, "sorry."
She shakes her head, "no, I'm sorry, I know you're worried about him...we all are." She looked over at Cam in his usual place at the Super Computer, with Shane hovering over him. "Any luck Cam," she asked hopefully.
Cam shook his head in disgust, "no, not a freakin' thing, there is no trace of Dustin at all, it's like he doesn't exist."
"What?", came the exclamation of the other four Rangers.
After the footsteps had subsided, Dustin carefully uncurled himself and slowly sat up. He looked around, letting his eyes adjust to the light. He was in a holding cell; he was on a small mattress on a cold metal floor. He sighed softly, drawing his knees up to his chest and resting his chin on them. It suddenly occurred to Dustin that he had been stripped of his morpher, he inwardly groaned. This can't get any more worse, he thought.
He looked up sharply when he heard the door to his holding cell click and swing open. There he saw Marah walk in and shut the cell door behind her. The look he gave her was of pure disgust.
"What do you want?", he snarled uncharacteristically. It gave him a little satisfaction to see her flinch.
"Dustin, I am so sorry, I can't apologize enough," Marah said, inching closer to him.
He backed further away from her, "I don't want your apologies, you could apologize until you lost your voice and I still wouldn't accept them."
She winced at his harsh words, "I know, I deserve it," she bowed her head "I just wanted my family to like me," she whispered.
He laughed bitterly, "oh, I think they like you now Marah, I think they really, like you. You lied when you said you were a bad person, you are the absolute worst person I have ever met!"
She made a motion for him to lower his voice. "Please, let me make this right."
He glared at her, "why should I?"
She lifted her chin determinedly, "because I'm your only hope for getting out of here."
He sighed, he hated to admit it, but she was right. "Ok, what's going on?"
She opened her mouth to tell him, but was interrupted by a loud, grisly, gravelly voice.
"Well, well, well, what do we have here?"
Several hours had passed and Cam still had no luck in finding their friend. The Samurai sat back, took off his glasses and rubbed the bridge of his nose. He felt a pair of strong hands fall on his shoulders and began rubbing them. He glanced up and saw Shane smiling down at him and his heart swelled with...love?
"Any luck?", Shane asked softly as not to disturb his friends who had dozed off.
Cam shook his head, "no, I'm really worried Shane..."
The Air Ninja sighed, "me too."
Suddenly the alarms went off, blaring loudly, jolting the Rangers out of their sleep. They stumbled over to the Super Computer to see what was going on and the scene set before them woke them up completely.
It was Dustin, he was back...but he was...terrorizing Blue Bay Harbor.
The five Rangers looked at each other in confusion. Hunter's confusion turned to rage.
"Lothor," the Crimson blonde growled, "he did this."
