A/N: This chapter maybe a little Sapphire orientated but there's a good reason for that trust me -winks- oh and I'm sorry if it's a little crappy.

/-Thoughts-/

Chapter 7 - Who Will Get The 'Key'?

"Uh oh this doesn't look good." Marah said, seeing that all the kalzacks were easily being defeated.

"Yeah perhaps we'd better go." Kapri agrees, and they both left.

Shortly after all the kalzacks were down Cam, Tori and Dustin went over to help Hunter and Blake with Zurgane. While Shane took care of the kalzacks that were holding Sapphire.
Sapphire herself was so busy watching the others that she didn't realise that she was free until Shane started to pull her away.

"Come on this way. We have to get you out of here." He said.

/-I know that voice.-/ Sapphire thought as she got pulled along.
"Shane?" she said curiously. The Red ranger stopped and slowly looked back at her. "Is that you?"

Before Shane could answer more kalzacks appeared.
"Look out!" he said, swinging her round so they couldn't grab her.
After knocking a few more of them down Shane continued running with Sapphire in tow.

"Where do you think you're going?" a voice said.

Shane stopped making Sapphire nearly bump into him, directly in front of them was Choobo. Shane stepped in front of Sapphire.

"I'm not gonna let you take her." He says.

Sapphire looked extremely confused at Shane's statement.
"Huh?"

"Ahhh I'm crushed." Choobo said sarcastically. "But did I say you had a choice."
At that moment they were surrounded by dozens of kalzacks.
"Now hand the girl over."

"Not gonna happen."

"Would someone like to tell me what the hell's going on?" Sapphire asks but she got no answer to her question.

"You have to out of here." Shane said.

"And how am I supposed to do that? In case you've forgotten we're surrounded."

Shane swore silently.
"Guys, I need some help here." He said into his morpher.

Suddenly there were streaks of crimson and blue, and most of the kalzacks were now on the floor.

"Someone ask for help?" Tori says rhetorically.

"What took you so long?" Shane joked.

The next thing they know they're all on the ground after by hit by one of choobo's attacks. Sapphire ran over to them.

"Are you guys okay?"

"We're fine." Hunter responds getting up. "But you need to get out of here, now!"

"Why is it everyone's trying to get rid of me today?" she says joking a little.

"This isn't a joke Sapph." Shane said then inwardly scolded him himself for saying that.

"I knew it! That is you Shane." She said with smile.

"Sapphire, you have to get out of here." Tori said.

"But… why?"

"This isn't the time to be asking questions." Hunter said getting annoyed.

"Look, I'll explain everything later. Right now you have to go!" Shane says.

"Okay." She replies with a nod then turns and runs off.

"Is she always that… stubborn?" Hunter suddenly asks Shane.

"Not always, just when she wants to find out something."

"Guys, look some kalzacks are going after her." Tori says urgently.

"I'm on it." Hunter said going in the direction that Sapphire went.

"We'll take care of Choobo." Shane says.

Tori nods.

Sapphire ran as fast as she could, she couldn't allow them to catch her. She looked back to see how far away they were, they were still behind her and catching up fast which made her run even faster. /-Please tell me that this is just a nightmare and that I'm still in bed.-/ she wished. But no such luck this was real and she was running for…. What? Her life? From the sound of Shane and the other's voices it certainly sounded like it. Suddenly she tripped on something, as she fell she rolled a couple of times before coming to a stop.
"Ow." She says holding herself up from the ground and shaking her head a little. Then something grabbed her arm she looked up at it, her eyes went wide as she saw it was one of 'creatures' that was after her. There was a group of them all now crowded around her, then from out of nowhere a streak of crimson was seen and the next thing she knew all the 'creatures' were down on the floor.

"What… just happened?" she wondered out loud, thinking she was alone.

"Come on, you're still not safe yet." A voice said from behind her making her jump at the sound of it.

She then smiled to herself.
"Will I ever be?… Hunter." She said half curiously half knowingly.

"How did you…" Hunter began.

She turned and looked at him a smile on her face but that smile soon turned into a frown as she saw what was behind him.

Tori and Shane were about to charge at Choobo when he suddenly disappeared.

"Huh?" Shane looked at Tori as he opened his visor his confusion was evident. Tori looked at him her confusion was just as clear. "Let's get back to the others."

When they did they found out that Zurgane had disappear just as mysteriously as Choobo.

"Where's Hunter?" Blake suddenly asked.

"He went after Sapphire." Tori answered.

"Let's get back to ninja ops and try to figure out why they left so suddenly." Cam reasons.

"No need." Hunter's voice said from behind them.

"What do you mean dude?" Dustin asks a little confused.

"They got her."
