It's the year 2019, fifteen years after Lothor fell, but not in this world. This world, of chaos and destruction was ruled by Lothor. Only a handful of academys excisted. Kaze (Wind), Hi (Fire), Oto (Sound), Mizu (Water), andTochi (Earth) Ninja Academy are the only ones left in excistence because they proved worthy opponents to Lothor and his army of Kelzaks.Each academy gave up one studnet each year to fight the Kelzaks, usually, none returned.

The reason for this? The reason the war still rages? This is a war zone. The original Rangers have vanished into the endless pit of time, except the Green Samurai Ranger. He gave his freedom for their safety. If Lothor finds the rangers, he's allowed to kill the Green Ranger, but, the Green Ranger's spirit would come back to kill him in turn. If Lothor knew the troubles of the Green Ranger's daughter, then he might not have put him to an eternal slumber so quickly.

Cammeron Whatanabe and Kanoi Watanabe had agreed that when Tsukasa Hitomi Watanabe turned fifteen, she would travel back to the past to alter this future and live there. Until that day, Tsukasa would remain in Ninja OPs alone. The walls were painted white, to keep her from longing for the outside, her cloths were made to endure her endless pacing and the way she slept, there was always Cyber Cam to keep her company if she didn't want to be alone, but there was no way out for her, only a way in from the outside.

A bewitching beauty, when ever someone brought her food, she was forced to cover her hair and face with a white, drapping mask that revealed only her eyes and some skin, besides her hands. The white kimono and mask usually made visitors wonder what she was really like under all the white and how she would react to the sun for the first time. After all, Tsukasa was born in Ninja OPs and hadn't left after her mother "died" and her father fled the area to spare her.

She would be fifteen in seven minutes and the door was opening. Cyber Cam, who still looked like the younger Cam, looked up, startled, and quickly whisped away. Tsukasa pulled the white mask up and turned to face the visitor, gently pressing her forehead to her clasped hands. She felt someone raise her chin and she looked up. Twilight filtered in around the visitor and she almost gasped.

"Hunter sensei!" She stood up. Hunter was indeed standing there. "What-?"

"Quickly, change into these." Hunter raised an arm and revealed the black Kaze Ninja Academy uniform with green stripes on it. "Meet me outside. I have to get you to safety." He turned and left, leaving the door open. "And please be quick."

Five minutes later, she was rushing after him at a sprint, pulling the mask to the uniform over her mouth. She didn't know what was going on or why they were in such a hurry, but she knew that he wasn't slowing, so she had to keep up.

Six minutes until she would be fifteen.

A bright flash ahead made Tsukasa start, but didn't slow her down. Hunter was heading for the bright flashes straight ahead. She followed him, her mind racing.

Five minutes.

The flashing continued until she accidentally bumped into Tori and Blake. The flashes were coming from the Rangers. They were all standing in a circle, their powers clashing with each others. Kelzaks suddenly appeared.

Four minutes.

Tsukasa began to fight them, allowing time for the others to do whatever they were doing. She was thrown back as the Kelzaks tried to break the circle. With a sweeping kick, several Kelzaks came down, their heads on wrong. She stood to watch them for a moment.

Three minutes.

"Tsunami Hydro Blast!" Tori whipped around and a huge blast of water shot out of her palm, knocking down several which were replaced almost imediately. She looked at the others who nodded and began to protect Tsukasa.

Two minutes.

"Hitomi-chan, when we break, grab the gem on the ground. It'll take you back in time. Good luck!" Blake said as they began to break apart, allowing her to see the stone.

One minute left.

Tsukasa dove for it, her fingers outstreatched as Kelzaks tried to block her path. She wished for a mirical, and she got one.

The second two of her fingers touched the stone, she felt a rush of wind and curled in on herself, thinking it was Lothor on the rampage for the thrid time that month, but heard nothing but a steady humm of white noise, wind, her breathing, and just beyond that, just out of reach, she head distant shouts or the occasional laugh, and then-

All was calm, calm as if nothing there was to fear. Nothing would harm her.Slowly, sounds, smells, and senses came back to her.

The sound of water gently making a splash in it's little pond, the soft rustle of the trees, the smell of fresh water andforest smellsfilling her nostrils and invading her sense of what was happening. For a few more moments, she savored the smell and the taste of this place, hoping it was real and knowing it probably wasn't until a hand touched her shoulder, then, for a breif moment, hell broke loose.

With a backwards kick, she knocked the dude down and he grabbed her ankle and turned, which caused her to whip around and cut him across the face with the sharp gem in her hand. He tried to punch her, his other hand still grasping her ankle. She pulled back, sending him flying into the water. For a moment she lay there in the leaves and just waited for some movement from him but only heard him say something quite strange. "OW! Ever heard of restraints, dude? It's only me, Cam. Ow."

She slowly raised herslef off the ground, first into a push-up position with her right leg slightly off, then to her hands so she could turn about to face him and then back down to all fours and then up into a sitting position with her legs tucked underneath her. She looked up and watched this person rise out of the water. The yellow indicated that he was part of the old Academy, which used Earth, Wind, and Water. His was Earth. She watched him, unblinking. "What is your name?"

"Dustin, dude. Did you, like, forget?" Dustin stumbled over. "And what's with the weird theatrics, man?"

"I am not this 'Cam' you speak of, but I do wish to meet him." She rose to her feet, still unblinking and her back remaind straight. "Waldo 'Dustin' Brooks, correct?"

"Dude!" Dustin looked shocked. "Look, um, why don't I take you inside and we'll, um, yeah." He was scratching his head now and kept looking at the waterfall behind him. "Just, um, well, follow me, dude."
