Chapter 12: Who is a Traitor Part IV

(Last time on Ninja Storm Revealed)

While the Thunder Rangers were fighting each other, Kimberly was kidnapped by Lothor once again. Now he's draining whatever Ninjetti energy she has left. Can Hunter and Blake save their mother in time before it's too late?

(Now the Conclusion)

Hunter and Blake were sitting at the track with Hannah and Kylie. "Do we have to go?" Kylie asked. Hunter sighed as he kneeled in front of his younger sister.

"Look, Blake and I are going to do everything we can to bring mom home. But staying with us will be too dangerous. Staying with Uncle Carter and Aunt Dana will be safer than here," Hunter replied.

"You guys always send us away to Uncle Carter and Aunt Dana's house when you're fighting," Kylie pointed out.

"We hate sending you away, but we have to keep you guys protected. Mom wouldn't want you guys getting hurt," Blake answered.

Kylie hugged Hunter tight and Hunter stood up with Kylie in his arms. "Why are you two questioning yourselves about being Rangers when you have to save mom?" Hannah asked.

"Because it's us being Rangers that got mom into trouble anyways," Blake replied.

"You can't save mom without the morphers," Hannah pointed out.

"Let us handle this, Hannah," Hunter insisted.

They looked up when the Lightspeed Rescue truck pulled up and Carter got out of the truck. "They ready to go?" Carter asked.

"Yeah," Blake replied.

Blake got Hannah and Kylie's bags into the truck, but noticed that Kylie wasn't letting Hunter go. "Kylie, we have to go," Hannah insisted. Kylie sadly let Hunter go and Hunter placed her on the ground. Carter picked Kylie up and carried her to the truck. Hannah hugged Hunter tight. "Just get her back," she whispered.

"We will," Hunter answered.

"Hannah," Carter called.

Hannah let Hunter go and got into the truck. Hunter rubbed the back of his neck while watching Carter ride back to Mariner Bay with Hannah and Kylie. "We should head back to ops, maybe they got a lock on mom," Blake suggested.

"Yeah," Hunter agreed.

When they got to ops, Cam was still trying to get a lock on Kimberly's location. "Her communicator isn't attached to her wrist," Cam informed. Just then, Lothor appeared on the screen.

"Hello, Rangers," he greeted.

"How did you do that?" Shane demanded.

Lothor held up Kimberly's communicator. "With this interesting contraption?" He asked.

"Where's our mother?" Hunter demanded.

"She's safe…for now," Lothor replied.

He was able to show them Kimberly's cell. "As you can see, your precious mother is doing just fine, for now," he answered. Hunter and Blake saw Kimberly's energy getting drawn from her.

"You're going to drain her life energy," Tori snapped.

"That's the point. Once drawing all her Ninjetti Powers I'll drain all her life energy," he laughed.

Hunter stared at his mother's unconscious form. "What do you want, Lothor?" Hunter asked.

"The surrender of earth," Lothor replied.

"I don't think so," Dustin answered.

"Then say bye, bye to your mommy Thunder Rangers," Lothor laughed.

"WAIT!" Hunter shouted.

Lothor was gone. "MOM!" Blake shouted. Hunter stepped back and put his hands on the back of his head.

"This can't be happening, this can't be happening," Hunter repeated over and over again.

"I know this is hard for you, Thunder Rangers, but Kimberly would not want us to surrender earth for her life," Sensei pointed out.

Hunter stared at the now blank screen. "Let's go, Blake," Hunter insisted.

"Where are you going?" Tori asked.

Hunter looked over at Tori. "We're going after our mom," he answered.

"You guys are crazy," Shane told them.

"Do you have any better idea? Our mom's going to die if we don't do something," Hunter snapped.

The two brothers left and Dustin looked at Sensei. "What do we do?" Dustin asked.

"We have to hope that they save their mother in time," Sensei replied.

Hunter and Blake were on their bikes and drove towards the beach. Hunter suddenly stopped. "What are you doing?" Blake asked.

"I don't know, bro, I feel like something's wrong. I mean do we still want to keep our morphers after this?" He asked.

"Bro, our mom's in trouble and you're talking about whether or not we should stay Rangers?" Blake asked.

"I don't know what to do anymore, Blake. Things were so simple before. Now mom's dying."

Just then, Choobo appeared behind them. "To be a Ranger or not to be a Ranger, that is the question," he mocked. Hunter glared at Choobo.

"Dude, private conversation," Hunter snapped.

"Give us our mother back," Blake answered.

"I don't think so," Choobo laughed.

"Ready?" Hunter asked.

"Ready," Blake replied.

"THUNDER STORM, RANGER FORM!"

(On the Ship)

Kimberly lied on the table, her energy being drawn from her very slowly. However, that wasn't going through her unconscious mind.

(Kimberly's Dream)

Kimberly was sitting in the Power Chamber. A week after Kylie's birth and she was back to her normal routine. At the moment, Kimberly was taking a break. Kimberly walked over and picked Kylie up from the crib. "Hey sweetie," she greeted. The baby let out a yawn and buried her head into Kimberly's chest. She suddenly felt someone coming. "Who's there?" She called out.

"It's Rocky," the person answered.

Kimberly smiled. "You can come in, Rocky," she informed.

"You sure? Zordon told us not to go into that room," Rock answered.

"It's okay. I have the emotional wall up," she informed.

Rocky came in with a smile. "Hey," he greeted. Kimberly smiled back.

"Hey," she answered.

Kimberly walked over to Rocky. "Here's your little niece. Say hi to your Uncle Rocky sweetie," Kimberly cooed to the baby. Rocky smiled and held the baby's hand.

"She's beautiful," he commented.

Kimberly smiled. "Do you want to hold her?" She asked. Rocky looked at her with a quizzical look.

"You sure you trust me with the kid?" He asked.

"Yes," she replied.

Kimberly placed the baby into Rocky's arms. She smiled to see Rocky standing absolutely still. "You can walk around," she assured him.

"I'm afraid to drop her," he answered.

"You won't drop her," Kimberly assured him.

Rocky slowly started walking around with Kylie in his arms. Kimberly smiled and wrapped her arms around herself.

(End Dream)

Kimberly kept dreaming away about her past, while her sons were trying to fight for her to live so she could see her daughter's future.

(In Battle)

Choobo laughed at the Thunder Rangers when they were freed from his backpack. "The longer you fight the lest energy your precious mother has left," he laughed. He then cast a spell on the Wind Rangers.

"Just fire at him, Hunter," Shane answered.

Hunter aimed the blaster at Choobo. "Hunter, be careful. If you hit the Rangers, it can strip them of their powers," Blake pointed out.

"We don't have a choice, bro," Hunter answered.

However, Hunter's eyes were drawn to Tori when he was about to pull the trigger. "Hunter, can you make the shot?" Blake asked. Hunter shook his head.

"I can't," Hunter replied.

Shane then fought against the hold Choobo had on them. Once they finally defeated Choobo, Hunter and Blake found themselves back at the beach after agreeing to stay on the team. "Now what do we do?" Blake asked.

"We find a way to get mom home," Hunter replied.

"How do we do that? Lothor's going to have guards all over the place," Blake pointed out.

"We have to find a way in there, bro. If we don't get mom out of there soon, she'll died."
