Ninja OPs wasn't vacant. Cam and Tori were watching Blake snore like a lion on the table and Hunter pokeing him with a stick. Every time the stick touched Blake, he'd twitch and make a soft groan. Shane was pacing about, muttering to himself about something.
Dustin ran straight into Shane, causing them to all look up.
Blake suddenly yelped, causing Hunter to jump back. Blake was lying flat on his back and was staring up into the face of a beautiful woman. He quickly got up and stared at her. She was as tall as him, but seemed to look familiar. Her gold badge was that of an unknown element, one he'd never seen before.
Cam glared at Dustin. "Why is she here! Who is she!"
"Dude, she knows things most people never said aloud!" Dustin kinda waved his arms in the air.
"Cammeron Watanabe. Green Samurai Ranger, finishing college, and your father was turned into a guine pig." She didn't budge from her spot, nor did she take her eyes away from Blake. "I need to know, are all of you the Power Rangers?"
"Yes." Six voices were in unison.
Cyber Cam peeked out from behind a beam along the wall. He was watching her.
"What about that one?" She indicated Cyber Cam. "Is he one?"
"No, he's just a hologram." Cam stared at her. "How'd you know who I was?"
"Easy, I'm from the future." She looked away. "An alternate one to yours. I'm the daughter of the lead sensei at the Wind Ninja Academy, Cammeron Watanabe. There is something I would like to say to all of you. I'm here to prevent my future for becoming yours. If it's possible, can I live here with you guys?"
Hunter cocked his head to the side. "What's your name, girl?"
"I am Tsukasa Hitomi Watanabe." She finally lifted the mask off to reveal her true face, making Hunger staggar backwards and make Cam kinda fall over. She was definately his spitting image, with longer hair. "Is something wrong?"
Hunter took one breath and said; "You never said anything about being beautiful."
Tsukasa looked down. "Sorry. I don't know what your talking about."
Dustin came closer. "Dude, you have this way sweet curve!" He made the hour-glass figure with his hands. "Looks like you and Tori, in a way, but you said your name was Watanabe, which is kinda confuing."
Cam shook his head. "What are you doing here?"
Tsukasa stared at them for a long moment. Finally, she opened her mouth. "There is a way Lothor can beat you."
Sensei's attention became sharper, Blake and Tori leaned forward, Hunter, Dustin, Shane, and Cam sat down to listen.
"If he get's a hold of the Samurai Amulet, there's a chance it's world-wide chaos. In my time, he's found a way to kill the Rangers. My 'father' made struck a deal with Lothor; in return for the Ranger's safety, Lothor can kill him. Lothor didn't know that Cyber Cam was still around, so Cyber Cam would come and kill him, pretending to be Cam's spirit. Cam didn't know that Lothor was going to put him into an eternal sleep." She shrugged. "Its just because Cam's a little attached to his buddies that I'm trapped. No one told Lothor of me, as Cam's only child. And my grandfather's a big, hariy, rat with cloths?"
Sensei made a "hmph" sound and crossed his arms.
"He's a guine pig," Dustin pointed out.
"So my grandfather was a guine pig when he died." Tsukasa tapped her cheek with a slender finger. "That fits. My bodyguard, the guy who guards the entrance to Ninja OPs in my time, said he'd known his sensei had been turned into a roughly large guine pig." She shrugged and her arms dropped to her sides.

Cam sat with Tsukasa outside Storm Chargers, eating ice cream. Tsukasa seemed to be at a loss on how to eat ice cream, so Cam decided to spend some "quality time" with his daughter. They sat together outside, while Hunter and Blake tried to get her a job at Storm Chasers.
Tsukasa was watching Cam and licking her ice cream the same way he did. Hunter came running out and grabbed her arm. "Eek!" She stummbled forward and her ice cream went flying out of her hand and she collapsed onto him. "hai?"
"Eh?" Hunter looked at Cam. "Was that Japanese?"
"Yeah. She said 'yes'." Cam scratched his cheek in embarassment.
"Kelly says you can find another job at a resturant nearby. C'mon. I'll take you to the place. They need someone to wait on tables in the resturant. Can you do that?"
"hai." She nodded.
"Good. I'll take you. Blake and Dustin'll be out soon." He gently tugged her arm this time.
Tsukasa waved as she and Hunter took off at a jog. Her smile on her lips made her seem so beautiful. It was the first smile in the three days that she'd been here that she'd cracked a smile. Cam thought time stood still for a moment, before she vanished around the corner.
a/n: i know this story's got some odd points and everything, but bear with me. and, for those who don't exactly grasp the consept, this is right after Scent of A Ranger which would be Cyber Cam's debut. i may have to change the rating, because there's a plan for Tsukasa to die later, but it'll be fine!...hopefully, no little kiddies will be reading this for very long. head-start on the death stuff, just in case some little kids reading over your shoulder later.
