Chapter 11: Who is a Traitor Part III

(Last time on Ninja Storm Revealed)

Kimberly escaped Lothor. The island is sinking. And Hunter has been turned to think that his brother turned against him and killed Kimberly. Can Kimberly show her eldest son that Lothor was lying again?

(Part III)

Kimberly was walking around the island with the others when she could hear Hunter. Her gift must have been getting stronger. With all her training, her empathy could have been giving her a deep connection with her kids. "BLAKE WHERE ARE YOU! BLAKE!" She heard Hunter shout.

"I have to stop you guys," she informed.

She sat down and held her head. "Mom, are you okay?" Blake asked.

"Yeah, I'll be okay," she replied.

She held her head. "MUST DESTROY BLAKE!" She heard Hunter shout again. She winced in pain and lowered her head.

"Mom?" Blake called.

Kimberly shook her head. "It's your brother. I can hear him," she answered.

"What do you mean you can hear him?" Tori asked.

"His thoughts. I can see what he's seeing," she replied.

Kimberly lowered her head in pain. "I feel his anger and vengeance. He truly believes that I'm dead," she answered.

"What's wrong with her?" Shane asked.

Blake tried to hold Kimberly up. "She never told you?" Blake asked. They shook their heads. "Mom's been cursed years ago. If she feels the emotion of anger, it weakens her. It like takes her life energy away. It started when she mentored the Lightspeed Rangers," Blake explained.

"How do you make it stop?" Tori asked.

Blake had Kimberly lie down and placed his hand on her forehead and held her hand. "Dude what are you doing?" Dustin asked.

"Quiet," Blake replied.

Kimberly closed her eyes and put her emotional wall up again. Blake then helped her gain her strength back. However, this time, it was different. Kimberly seemed to be showing Blake what she was seeing. "Blake where are you? Must destroy enemy!" He heard Hunter snap. Blake pulled back and saw that Kimberly was resting.

"Dude, what was that? You were like doing this whole voodoo mind thing on her," Dustin commented.

"I was…giving her, her strength back," Blake answered.

"You've done this before?" Tori asked.
"Once or twice," Blake replied.

"How did you get them anyways?" Tori asked.

"What?" Blake asked.

"Your powers. You never told us on how any of that happened," Tori replied.

"It's kind of long story. Do you really want to hear it?" Blake asked.

"Either that or watch Dustin play with the dirt," Shane replied.

Blake sat next to his mother's still form as he explained how he and Hunter got their powers. "My mom was training the Time Force Rangers at the time. She was having a hard time keeping up the bills and other financial things. Sensei Omino sent us letters accepting us into the Thunder Ninja Academy. Mom agreed to send Hunter and me out to get ninja academy. Well, during our training, he seemed to be training us for something big. We took our training seriously and we had to use it once or twice to help mom defeat the enemy, especially when the emotion of anger weakened her," Blake explained.

"Then that's when Lothor came," Kimberly stated when she woke up.

"Yeah, you okay mom?" Blake asked.

"Yeah, I'll be fine," she replied.

Blake looked at the others again. "Our school was attacked. Kelzaks and aliens were everywhere, that's when Sensei Omino gave us our morphers. He told us we would know what to do. That's when he was captured by Lothor and they took us with him," Blake explained.

"When you go in those ball things is it cool like going off a free style ramp or…" Shane cut Dustin off.

"Not really the point, dude," Shane pointed out.

"Oh right, please continue," Dustin answered.

Blake nodded. "Lothor was a bit tweaked when he found out that the Ranger powers. That's when he told us the lie about our mother," Blake explained.

"That's when you went all medieval on us," Shane finished.

"Let's not go there again," Tori insisted.

Kimberly placed a hand on Blake's shoulder. "You guys have to understand. Hunter's a good person, but when he thinks someone's wronged him, he won't stop until he makes it right," Blake insisted.

"He's right, I know Hunter, he wouldn't hurt anyone unless they've done something to hurt him first," Kimberly agreed.

"Then what happened to you two?" Tori asked.

"Choobo put some mind erase on them to make them think you were their enemy, and they made it worse by telling them that I was dead," Kimberly replied.

"How come Blake snapped out of it?" Shane asked.

"I guess I had help to figure out who my friends are," Blake replied.

Tori smiled and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Then that's what Hunter needs, come on, we better go find him," she insisted. Kimberly nodded and stood up.

As they were walking along the beach, they found Hunter rolling down a hill. "HUNTER!" Kimberly shouted. She ran down the hill while the Rangers fought the crab monster. "HUNTER! HUNTER!" Kimberly called. Choobo then grabbed Kimberly from behind.

"Oh no you don't. You're not going to ruin this," Choobo snapped.

"LET GO OF ME!" Kimberly shouted.

Blake looked up. "MOM!" Blake shouted. Kimberly looked up at her son.

"DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME! GET HUNTER!" She called out.

Kimberly elbowed Choobo, but the green alien threw her up against a rocky wall. "MOM!" Blake shouted.

"MISS HART!" The Rangers shouted.

Blake ran over to his mother and checked for a pulse. "Is she okay?" Tori asked. Blake nodded.

"Yeah, she's just unconscious. Where's Hunter?" Blake asked.

He stood up. "WHERE ARE YOU!" He shouted.

"THERE YOU ARE TRAITOR!" Hunter shouted.

Blake turned around to see his brother charging at him. Blake grabbed onto his staff. "Hunter, stop. Lothor's done something to you," Blake insisted.

"Liar," Hunter snapped.

"Listen to me," Blake answered.

"WHY SHOULD I!"

Hunter threw Blake to the ground. "Hunter, please…" Blake trailed off.

"You betrayed mom and me. Now you'll pay for your betrayl," Hunter snapped.

"It was Choobo and Lothor, they betrayed us. Think, Hunter, think. Mom's not dead and you know it," Blake answered.

Blake saw his brother try to fight it. "Think Hunter, think. You're under some kind of spell," Blake told him.

"You're confusing me. No more ninja tricks," Hunter snapped.

"No!" Blake called out.

Choobo ran over to Kimberly. "Time to go back to where you belong," he laughed. Tori looked up.

"MISS HART!" Tori called out.

Choobo sent Kimberly back to the ship. "NO!" Shane and Dustin shouted. Tori looked over to see Blake trying to get Hunter to remember.

"HUNTER! Mom needs you now more than ever, bro. Lothor's got her held captive. We need your help to get her back," Blake insisted.

"MOM'S DEAD!" Hunter shouted.

"MOM'S ALIVE!"

Hunter stopped suddenly. "WHAT'S GOING ON! MY HEAD!" Hunter shouted.

(On the Ship)

Lothor looked up when Kimberly appeared on the ship. "Marah, Kapri, take her to one of the dungeons and start draining her Ninjetti energy," Lothor instructed. The girls dragged Kimberly away.

They came to one of the cells and placed Kimberly on the table. "She's heavy," Marah whined. Kapri rolled her head and strapped Kimberly's arms and legs down.

"Push those buttons over there, Marah," Kapri instructed.

Marah walked over and pushed the buttons on the machine. They watched as pink energy was drawn from Kimberly. "Finally something we can do right," Marah commented.

"Let's get back," Kapri insisted.

(On the Island)

Hunter sat on a rock in disbelief. "I remember that mom was trying to help us fight the kelzaks, but that's it," Hunter informed. Tori placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Your mom's alive we know that," she assured him.

Hunter nodded. "We'll get her back, bro," Blake assured him.

"We better, Blake. Kylie and Hannah need her yet, the team still needs her," Hunter insisted.

"We better get going," Shane insisted.

"Right," the Rangers agreed.
