Chapter 6 - Is It Too Late?

Hunter knocked on Sapphire's door, as it opened he stood and stared at her for she was wearing a red haltered top with a picture of a palm tree on it and dark blue jeans. Her dark brown hair was tied up in a ponytail. He had never seen her in anything else but a white t-shirt and black jeans, her hair was always down.

"Hey Hunter. Wotcha doin' here?" she asks.

"I thought I'd go with you and meet these new friends of yours."

"Sure why not." She smiled "Come on."
Closing and locking the door behind her.

At the quarry -

"Anybody see anything?" Shane asks.

"No, Cam or you sure Cyber Cam's not malfunctioning or something." Dustin comments.

"I'll give his program a check when I get back to ninja ops."

"Looking for me." A voice says from behind them.

Everyone turns round immediately.

"What is that!" Tori says.

"A beehive with legs?" Dustin says.

"Whatever it is, time it left." Cam said.

"You said it Cam." Blake says.

"Oh you think you can beat Hivertron so easily?" it asks rhetorically "Kalzacks!"

As if on cue a dozen kalzacks appear.

"You guys ready?" Shane asks.

"Ready." They all reply.

"Ninja Storm…" "Thunder Storm…" "Samurai Storm…" "…Ranger Form ha!"

They make quick work of all the kalzacks and soon they had all been defeated.

"You rangers think you're so smart…Stingers." Hivertron said as all the rangers got hit several times and fell to the ground.

Hivertron laughed manically.
"I don't see why Lothor has had so much trouble you're no match for me." It said as it walked towards them.

Everyone slowly got up.

"Allows us to show you." Shane said.

"So where you gonna meet them?" Hunter asks.

"At the cinema. We're all gonna catch a movie."

"Cinema?" Hunter says a little nervously remembering the last time he and Blake went there.

"That's right, we're gonna see 'Rush Hour' (I love that movie!). I know i told Shane I'd see it with him but I'm sure he won't mind."

As they reached the cinema Hunter saw two girls, one had light brown hair and the other had blonde with a slight shade of pink in it.

/-Those two look familiar but where have I seen them before?-/ he wondered.

"Hey." Sapphire said greeting them, "Girls I want you to meet a friend of mine. This is Hunter." She introduced.

"Hey." He said.

"I'm… Kara and this is my friend…" the blonde one began.

"Mariah." The light brown one said.

"So we all ready to go?" Sapphire asks.

"Actually there's been a change of plan." Mariah said.

"Oh?"

"Yea we decided to get a bite to eat instead." Kara explained.

"Sure… is that okay with you Hunter?"

"Yea." Hunter replied.
He was still trying to figure out where he'd seen the two girls before.

"Great come on then." Mariah says walking off with Kara in tow.

Sapphire looked at Hunter and shrugged before walking after them. As Hunter walked along side her he couldn't help but feel that something bad was about to happen.

Lothor's ship -

"What! There's a power ranger with her! They should all be fighting Hivertron!" Lothor said his annoyance clear.

"It appears Crimson Thunder ranger is keeping watch on her sir." Zurgane explained.

"That Zurgane is obvious."

"Sorry sir."

Lothor walked toward his chair, but just before he reached it he turned back toward Zurgane.
"Zurgane I want you to create a little distraction for the Crimson ranger." He said with a slight smile.

"Yes sir." And he disappeared down to Earth.

Lothor walk back towards his view screen and looked down into it.
"You can't be in two places at once Crimson ranger." He said smugly.

"How much further is it Kara?" Sapphire asks as they continue to follow them.

"Shouldn't be much further now." Kara said.

Just then Sapphire thought she heard something.
"What was that?" she asks as she turns to Hunter.

"What was what?" Hunter asked trying to hide his morpher.

"That sound didn't you hear it?"

"Uh… no."

"Hey… it's gone guess I have must be hearing things." Sapphire says.

"Guess so."
He then drops back a little so as not to be heard, gives a quick look round and answers
"Go ahead."

"It appears Zurgane's decided to stretch his legs." Cyber Cam says.

"Great of all the times for Zurgane to show up." Hunter said a little sarcastically. "What about the others?"

"They're all busy with Hivertron."

"Alright, will you keep an eye on Sapphire for me?"

"Sure thing dude." Cyber Cam answers.

"Thanks… Sapphire." Hunter says as he jogs up to her.

"Yea?"

"Listen I gotta go…uh… pick up something up for me bro. I'll meet up with ya later." He explains.

"Can't you do that later?" she asks.

"Sorry if I don't do it now it'll be too late."

"Okay well see ya later then." She says as Hunter runs off.

Back at the quarry -

"I've had just about enough of this!" Shane exclaims. "Battleizer activate."

"You think that scares me." Hivertron asks rhetorically.

"It should because you're about to become history. Battleizer flight mode…. Laser engage."

A few seconds later Hivertron was destroyed.

"Way to go Shane." Dustin congratulates as Shane lands.

"Yea you nailed him." Blake agrees.

Then there morphers went off.

"Guys Hunter needs help." Cyber Cam informs.

"What's up?" Blake asks.

"Zurgane." Was all Cyber Cam needed to say.

"What about Sapphire?" Tori asks.

"I'm keepin' an eye on her, she's uh oh."

"I don't like the sound of that 'uh oh' " Shane says.

Before Cyber Cam has a chance to explain Hivertron suddenly grew to an enormous size.

"Great as if we didn't have enough problems." Dustin comments.

"I'll go help Hunter." Blake says.

"We'll keep that walking beehive busy." Tori adds.

"And I'll go check on Sapphire." Cam continues.

As Blake and Cam go off to help Hunter and Sapphire.
Shane says
"Zord time Cyber Cam."

"You got it dude."

"So anyone know how we stop a beehive with legs?" Dustin asks as they form the Storm Megazord.

"Good question Dustin." Shane says.

"I told you you'd never bee able to stop me." It said with a small laugh at its little joke.

"Will you stop with the bad jokes already!" Tori said.

"You look a little peckish how about a little snack." It says putting its arms out in front of itself and firing some of sort yellow fluid at the rangers.

"Uh what is this stuff?" Dustin says.

"Seems like you're caught in a sticky situation." It said again laughing a little at it's own joke. "That's nothing to be buzzed at." It snickered.

They all groaned.

"We gotta get out of this." Shane said.

"Yea dude I don't know how many more bad jokes I can take." Dustin agrees.

When Cam reached the place where Sapphire was suppose to be he couldn't see her anywhere.

"Cyber Cam or you sure this is the place?" he asked.

"Yea that's the place, she was trying to get free from Marah and Kapri." Cyber Cam answered.

"Looking for someone?" a familiar voice said.

Cam turned to see Marah, Kapri and a struggling Sapphire standing behind him.

"Let her go."

"Why should we?" Kapri says.

"Yea what are you going to do about it?" Marah said insultingly.

Just then Sapphire stamped really hard on Kapri's foot then did the same to Marah and they both let go instantly.

"Ow!"

"That hurt!"

"It was suppose to." Sapphire said as she ran towards Cam.

"Are you okay?" he asks although she couldn't see it Cam was smiling at how Sapphire had escaped her captors.

"Yea I think so." She replies.

"You won't be for long… kalzacks!" Kapri says.

If Cam wasn't wearing his helmet they would of seen him roll his eyes at their predictability. He turned to Sapphire.
"Get out of here."

"You don't have to tell me twice." She answers walking backwards but as she turns to go and run she slams into something she looks up and sees some kind of creature. It was nearly all black aside from a few bits of red here and there; it also had no eyes or mouth well none that she could see anyway.

"Going somewhere?" it asked.

Sapphire shook her head almost paralysed with fear.

"That's good because you're coming with me!" it said grabbing her wrist.

"Hey! Let go!" she yelled.

Cam looked over and saw that Zurgane had hold of Sapphire.
"Great." He muttered then wondered what happened to Blake and Hunter. "Cyber Cam where are the Thunders?"

"They're helping out the others with Hivertron."

Back at the quarry -

"You guys okay?" Blake asks from within the Thunder Megazord.

"We're fine." Shane answers.

"Oh look someone else for me to play with." Hivertron says.

"Uh…dudes." Cyber Cam interrupts.

"We're a little busy at the moment Cyber Cam." Hunter said.

"Now that we've got that disgusting stuff off how about we end this." Tori said.

"Right on Tor." Dustin says.

"Hunter you thinking what I'm thinking." Shane asks.

"I'm way ahead of you Shane." Hunter replies.

"Power disks…locked and dropped."

"I am Mini Zord. Thunder Storm Megazord transformation engage."

"You rangers are really starting to annoy me."

"Hey it's what we do best." Dustin says.

"Ahhhh!" Hivertron said as it charged towards the Thunder Storm Megazord.

"Lion laser."

"Ah! I'm being buzzed out." It then exploded.

"Now that he's outta the way let's go see if Cam needs any help." Tori said.

"Right." Blake agrees.

/=/=/=/=/=/=/=/=/=/=/=/=/=/=/=/=/=/=/=/=/=/

When they got to where Cam was they found him fighting kalzacks with Marah and Kapri conveniently watching.

"Guys look over there Zurgane has Sapphire!" Dustin points out.

Everyone looks and sure enough they see Zurgane holding Sapphire by her wrist while she struggles to get free.

"We'll handle Zurgane you guys go help Cam." Blake said.

"Right." The others agreed.

"Letme go!" Sapphire says highly irritated.

"You heard her." Hunter said as he and Blake appear in front of them.

"Well well if it isn't the Thunder rangers. I was wondering when you'd show up." Zurgane said.

"Let her go Zurgane." Blake said.

"And why would I would to do that?" he states.

While the Thunders and Zurgane had their 'conversation' Sapphire stopped struggling and started to wonder where she had heard the Crimson one's voice before.
/-Could it be…-/ but before she had time to finish her thought she was thrown back into the arms of two awaiting kalzacks.

"Try and take her." Zurgane challenged.
