Summary: This is why some people follow the way of Ninpo…

Author's Note: Ninpo means Way of the Ninja; Bushido means Way of the Samurai/Sword. Oh yeah, sorry guys, but no Trent/Kira. After reading a review and seeing a discussion, I realized by having Kira get with Trent the way I planned would make her look slutty. But don't worry; I'm still trying to figure out something for Trent.

It had been nearly a week since Conner had died and all this time Kira refused to speak to anyone. No one could really blame her; she'd just found someone she really loved and then next thing she knew, he was dead in her arms. Tommy let his body relax and he looked up at a window.

Kira stared back him momentarily and then turned away.

He sighed and lowered his head, shaking it. Suddenly, the Falcon within him cried and he threw himself into a roll. A shuriken whistled past and stabbed into the house siding. Tommy popped up, already waiting in stance as he scanned the road way. Who or whatever threw the shuriken was gone and left no traces to follow.

"No one's that good." He crouched lower, his eyes jolting to the left. The leaves in the distance ruffled almost silently. But even the slightest noise is impossible for a Ninja to miss; especially with one that has a spirit enhancing certain skills. "See."

Tommy whirled around, blocking the oncoming fist and threw his knee hard into the ninja's gut. He forced the Ninja forward, slamming it into the ground. Tommy flipped back, vanishing within the protection of his Dino Gem and for a moment, he watched the recovering Ninja.

He's a she…too round of an ass. He grinned and ducked into the bushes, concealing himself with his Ninja Powers. The female slowly stood, groaning painfully as she rubbed her mask.

"Oh man…after eight years he's still got it." She said, staggering slightly.

Wait…Kimberly? He raised a brow and tilted his head. Suddenly she rolled forward, throwing several shuriken's his direction. He gasped and rolled away from the bushes and stood up, gazing at her. He looked down at himself, seeing that his powers had fallen. He slipped his foot back and lowered himself into stance; locking his arms out before him and slipped his other leg outwards. With a quick wave of the hand, the two ninja clashed again.

Tommy slap-blocked the first punch and spun away from the second. He shot his leg out, cracking hard against Kimberly's ribs and backhanded her hard across the face. Her own leg shot up in retaliation, but a quick flip had him pushing out and away before her heel could strike.

The Black Ranger landed hard against the ground, but felt two thunderous palms slam into his upper back. He lurched forward, falling into a rising knee. A powerful chop block to the neck had him eating dirt a second later.

"Well, well, if it isn't Mr. Legendary eating dirt." The voice said, shuffling away from the fallen ranger. "Never thought I'd see the day, honestly."

Tommy hissed against barred teeth and pushed himself up. He recognized that voice instantly: Rocky DeSanto's. The two ninja stood side-by-side, glaring at Tommy. He returned it equally and slipped into stance once again. "You always have to make grand entrances, don't you?"

Rocky shrugged his shoulders and nodded over his shoulder. Tommy whirled around, but found himself spinning through the air and crashing into the ground. The third Ninja tornado flipped away and dropped a low stance. Its keen, wide blue eyes locked with Tommy's.

"Great, just what I need: a third ninja." He hissed, peeling himself off the floor again. "Let me guess…Adam Park, right?"

The Ninja nodded and slammed his hand into the ground. A black smoke exploded into the air, consuming him. A gust of wind raced through the trees, blowing the smoke away revealing nothing. Tommy whirled around, slap-blocking several clawed palms and shot his leg out, cracking the ninja hard in the shin. A painful yelp escaped the ninja's lips as it slammed face first into the ground.

"Aisha?" Tommy asked, looking down at the Ninja. "Great, I guess you're all here."

Except for some reason in the back of his mind he didn't believe that. He twisted and threw his hand out, pushing away straight kick and swept the ninja off his feet. The Falcon cried out, sending his senses on alert and flipped away as two clawed palms just hissed his back. Tommy landed hard on his feet and quickly threw his arms out, slapping block several punches and shoved the fifth opponent away.

"Let me guess, Billy?" Tommy growled, slipping into stance again. The Ninja stood up and nodded, returning the glare. "Ok, so now we're all here."

6 spirits encompassed the forest, surrounding their Masters with their protective light. The Falcon and Crane entwined together in the sky, bathing everyone in a warm light. The Ape sat in the trees, scanning the ground below. Perched on its shoulder was the frog; its eyes scanning the trees and leaves for any sign of danger. The wolf and bear, protectors of the land and forest, stood side by side; almost king and queen like.

"Ok, so we're all here, Tommy." Rocky said, pulling off his mask. The others followed; some rubbing their cheeks and bruised body parts. "What did you want with us?"

Tommy brushed away the sweat on his forehead and looked up to the bedroom window again. Kira stood there, gazing back at him before disappearing behind the curtains. He sighed and shook his head lightly.

"Those who possess the great power…anything's possible." He said with a slightly smile. "We're about to find out if that's true."

The Ninja Rangers gave each other a once look over and folded their arms. This day just got a lot more complicated.

Vertox stood in his private chambers, glancing at the chained Trey. A black and white glow consumed his being as lightning cackled around his body. Resting on his left wrist was the Omega morpher, pulsating a blue-white light. The Ranger had been putting a good fight, but it was only a matter of time before his resistance fell and he would be forced to accept the will of Omega.

Vertox grinned at the thought and turned away from Trey. He peered into the darkness of his chamber, rubbing his scratching chin. His thoughts fell upon his current mission; the mission into space. He had received certain valuable information from his general about the abandoned sector Tri-4.

The door opened with a hiss and the hulking general stepped into the room with a bow. Vertox glanced his way and then turned to face Trey once more.

"I assume you've heard of my recent plans?" He said, raising his head high.

"Yes master, but I can't say I agree with them." He said in a submissive tone.

Vertox glanced his direction for a moment. "We need to have the rangers out of the way, Merios. The easiest way of doing this would be to make a temporary peace. Especially if this information you have brought me is true."

"I assure you, Master, it is genuine. It was discovered by one of our scouts." He answered, bowing again. "You will not be displeased by your discovery."

"For your sake, General, I hope that is true." He remarked, his crimson red eyes burning holes into him.

Merios sank back, bowed and quickly excused himself. Vertox looked upon Trey with curious eyes and then grinned. If the information was indeed reliable…then the end of the Power Rangers is at hand…
