"I'm so sorry. I…I don't know what to say. You took the risk, because of us, and now the source has been destroyed. I don't know how that happened." Mary said sadly. She felt terribly guilty, even though just a moment before she has been very pleased and so proud that the rangers had chosen to save their son. It was after all, what made them rangers. But right now, the rangers looked like they were regretting it. Shane was already playing the blame game and his target was none other than himself. Sensei was in meditation. Cam was sitting with his head down trying to figure something out. Hunter was keeping an eye on his brother. Dustin kept walking up and down, not knowing what to do but wanting to make things right, somehow. He wanted her to just wake up and be okay. They all did. And it was at times likes these when everyone appreciated Dustin's simple, straight forward thinking. And Blake…Blake was standing by Tori, his fingers laced through hers and whispering something constantly…fiercely, his face looked determined.

Edward walked up to Mary and put his arm around her to comfort her. He was going through the same guilt trip she was. He looked around for Max, but suddenly saw him approach Blake. He turned to watch the scene. Something taking place in that room drew the attention of the other rangers too, and they all paused in their movements momentarily to watch.

Blake watched the little boy come up to him when he felt another presence in the room. He looked at the boy but couldn't bring himself to offer any words of comfort. He was in no position to give Max what he couldn't give himself….hope. But the boy wasn't looking for that. He took Blake free arm and looked up at him, staring into Blake's black eyes…as if to make sure he had the navy ranger's complete attention. He did.

"You have the power. Save her. Please."

Blake almost broke down then. "I…I…don't know what to do. I wish I could save her. I do. I…I…"

Max shoot his head. "You have the power."

And then it hit Blake. Of course. The last time they lost their powers Cam had to go back in time to retrieve the samurai amulet as another power source. But while they had lost the power source this time, they still had the ranger powers to save Tori. But once again it come down to a decision to save Tori or the world. If they transferred their ranger powers Blake had no idea what the repercussions would be. Then he decided and stood up. He couldn't keep playing with this anymore.

The others watched as Blake approached them.

"You okay bro?" Hunter asked immediately.

"Fine. Thanks to Max here," he glanced at the boy now standing next to him. Then he told them of his plan adding, "I can't expect the rest of you to make that sacrifice, but I am ready to. Cam, you know the procedure, guide me through it."

"If you think for one second you're going into this alone, you're crazy bro!" Dustin exclaimed.

"He's right. We're all with you on this one." Shane said.

"Let's put it together then." Cam said.

The boys all stood around Tori. Cam and Hunter on one side, Shane and Dustin facing them and Blake at the foot of the bed.

"Ready?" Cam asked.

"Rangers, remember this please. Whatever happens you have all done your duty. It's harsh, I know. But that is the way of life. Good luck." Sensei said.

"Now are we ready?" Cam asked again, smiling slightly.

"Let's do it." Blake said.

Hunter stuck his hand out. Shane put his hand on top of Hunters, Dustin and Cam followed. They all had their power disks in their palms. Blake held his power disk up, "Ninja ranger power."

"Power of Air."

"Power of Earth."

"Power of Samurai."

"Power of Thunder."

They each respectively called as Blake's hand reached out to join the others. Their respective colors swirled around each of their disks before swirling around them and then into Tori. The rangers watched on, hoping it would work, praying. Suddenly a blue mist, which seemed to be getting stronger in ever respect, rose out, swirled around Tori and into the mist of colors in the middle, and then the blue power touched each of the rangers, Hunter, Cam, Shane, Dustin and finally Blake, enveloping him before it went back into Tori. And then all the colors disappeared.

The rangers each looked at their power disk. They were glowing with their respective colors.

"What now?" Cam asked. The others looked at each other but Blake was watching Tori.

"Power of Water." Tori whispered and threw a weak smile at Blake and saw him cracking a huge smile before she drifted off into a proper sleep.

"All together again, just as it should be." Dustin said putting his arm around Shane and Hunter, who both rudely shoved him off. But nothing could shake Dustin's good mood. "Oh yeah brothers, I feel the love!" Shane and Hunter smirked, and then slapped hands. They could feel it too.

"Let's not get too enthusiastic around here shall we?" Cam asked grinning.

"I want to thank you so much for helping us. You chose us, when you could have just chosen your friend. I respect you all so much for that. How can we ever repay you?" Edward asked as he and Mary appeared at the entrance with Sensei.

"Just spread some good in the world." Shane replied smiling.

Sensei smiled too, well, as much as a guinea pig could be seen smiling, "I am proud of you boys too. Edward and Mary are going to be leaving in a while now, so I am going to escort them out once Max joins us."

Mary smiled at each of them. Words wouldn't do justice to what she wanted to tell them. Then they left.

"Hey, where's my little bro by the way?" Hunter asked looking around.

Cam smirked, "Do you still have to ask?"

"Hey sleeping beauty!" Blake said walking into Tori's room. "I got someone to see you. Try to look pretty." Blake laughed as Tori rolled her eyes and then turned to look at her visitor. She was sitting up in bed.

"Max!" Tori's voice rang with pleasure.

"Tori. Thank you for saving me." Max smiled.

"No. Thank you for saving me." Tori retracted.

But to her surprise Max shook his head, "Blake saved you. Not me." Tori's eye's flitted in surprise to Blake, before looking back at Max.

"Thank you anyway. Keep in touch with me okay!" She ruffled the boy's head and gave him a quick kiss on his head before releasing him. She watched him walk away.

"So, you saved me huh?" Tori asked grinning at Blake.

"Hey, I owed you one." Before Tori could protest he shook his head, "You would've done the same for me anyway."

Tori lay back on her pillow and looked seriously at Blake. "Dustin and Shane filled me in on what I missed." She looked down. "I'm sorry for putting you through…everything that I put you through Blake. And you're right, I would've done the same for you." She looked up and caught him grinning at her. "So anyway thunder boy," she started with the intention of knocking that smile right off his face, "I wasn't completely under you know when you were speaking to me. I did hear bits and pieces." It worked. Blake's face was turning pale and then…red.

"Yeah? So what part did you hear anyway?" Blake asked, now grinning and trying to hide the anxiety from his voice as it simultaneously racked his brain trying to remember what exactly he had said. He couldn't remember a thing….except…

"Oh I don't know….something about you…liking me?" Tori quirked.

Blake grinned and sat back. "Is that all? I thought we already established that on the beach when yours truly was appointed your surf buddy."

Tori looked baffled. Then she threw up her arms and leaned back, "So many mixed signals. You could scramble a radar without a problem thunder boy."

"Yeah?" Blake asked and a glint came into his eye. "Unscramble this, blue." He leaned forward, kissed her, and walked out of the room, turning back to see Tori with a stunned smile on her face. Some might have though this just scraped being the end. But they were wrong. For Blake and Tori, this was just the beginning.
