"Cam, what's going on, what's so important"? Said Hunter

"Yo, Hunter, dude no hello" Said Dustin happy to see his motocross friend and team mate.

"Sorry Dustin, just want to know what's going on that's all. How you been? And you to Shane my man, how's it going"?

"Dude, i'm cool, so how come you didn't drop on us first, huh"? Shane cocked an eyebrow for he knew well why Hunter went to meet Tori before him and Dustin.

"Yeah, how come you never came down to the track"? Dustin being Dustin hadn't caught onto what Shane meant and what actually was the reason.

COUGH COUGH

Everyone turned around to meet their sensei looking quite annoyed. "Well thank you all for coming, as you all will want to know what is happening and the reason I have called you here."

"Yeah, sensei, why are we here?" Said Shane confused as to why they have been called here.

"Hey where is Tori?" Said Dustin, wondering where their female friend was. He was worried about her for the past few days; she hasn't been acting her normal self.

"I'm here." While the boys were talking she quickly slipped away to clear her head.

"Yo Tor, where did ya go? You forgot to get the wax for your board I called you like thousands of times and..."

"Sensei can you please tell us what's going on" Cried Shane, who was getting annoyed. Once Dustin starts speaking he goes on forever.

"Yes Shane that's what I was about to get to before several people kept interrupting" just when sensei said that everyone immediately kept quiet " now as I was saying. I have called you all here because we have a greater enemy that has come back, greater than Lother."

Everyone stood quiet, worry expressed all over their faces, several different emotions flooding through them, just when they were all getting settled in their back to normal lives something bad happens.

"Sensei, how are we going to fight this new evil when we don't have our ranger powers" Said Shane speaking on behalf of everyone, as always, being the leader he is.

"Cameron, the box please." Cam stood up and retrieved a box lined with all their ranger colours.

Sensei opened the box and what they saw took their breath away, it was their new morphers.

"Woah dude check these babies out."

"Awesome dude. Sensei, how, I mean we lost our powers?" Said Hunter

"Hey where's Tori's"? Said Shane, confused once again "and where is Blake has anyone contacted him?"

"He is on his way, Factory Blue gave him some time off so he should be here soon" Said Hunter, he was happy but he felt he would take Tori away from him not that she was his but he just felt angry at Blake for just leaving so suddenly he was his little brother and they have been through so much together its hard now that he is gone out into the world of motocrossing, dangerous to, that's what worried him most.

"That's the other thing I have been wanting to tell you all, but I need to have a word with Tori first so would you excuse us for a while." By now everyone were wondering as to why Tori didn't have a morpher but left it to Sensei, he knew best. Shane and Dustin were talking to Hunter, they were all worried about Tori and how quiet she had been for the past few days and she wasn't acting her usual self. "Dude, i'm really worried I mean she hardly hangs with us anymore, she doesn't talk that much and the fact that she wasn't fazed by us having our morphers back" Said Shane

"And the whole new evil coming back, I get the feeling she knows more to this and she doesn't want us to know." Said Hunter upset that Tori was keeping something from him, he thought she trusted him.

"We'll quiz her later I want to try out these morphers dude come on" Said Dustin, trying to keep up the team spirit but at the same time it killed him that Tori doesn't tell him anything anymore they are like siblings.

"Tori, come sit down" Tori sat down on the cushion and waited for her sensei to speak, she knew deep down what he was going to say, no words could come to her mouth she just felt sick and her mother kept coming to her thoughts and she missed her dearly. "You probably know what I am going to say but we need to clear things up. khainoos is back and he wants your pendant, and he is looking for you. You posses a great power Tori and he wants it to rule the Universe, with the pendant he can, so that's why we need to stop him. You will have to tell you're the others, its going to be hard and they may be upset by some of it but they are here to support none the less."

"Sensei, my morpher, why haven't I got one"?

"I was about to get to that. But I would rather explain everything once so everyone knows".

Sensei Kanoi felt another presence in Ninja Ops, Blake had come. Sensei smiled and Tori caught the small smile forming on her sensei's face and asked him what he was smiling for.

"I believe that the navy thunder ranger has come home".

As sensei and Tori walked in to the main room of Ops everyone were throwing questions at Blake laughing, sharing jokes, they hadn't told him what was going on.

"Wow, dude that's sick, I can't believe you won that's amazing and you were racing with Jackson he's like one of the best moto pros out there!" Dustin was getting way too excited over Blake's return and he wanted to know everything that went on in the motocross world but before anymore questions were thrown at Blake, sensei and Tori walked in. Everyone turned their heads and were quiet, Tori's face was pale and her eyes were slightly red. Blake heard from Shane and Dustin that Tori hasn't been her usual self but from what he saw she was not her usual chirpy self but he was mesmerized by how angelic she looked even when she wasn't her normal self.

"Hey Blake, nice to see you again, it's been a while huh."

"Yeah it has, great to be back though, so what's the problem?" Said Blake turning to sensei Kanoi. Blake couldnt talk to her with the others around, he would catch up with her later.

"Well I think that now we are all united and back together its time we sort things out. Sit down everyone please".

Everyone did as they were told and sat down Tori in the middle of Shane and Dustin, they insisted on Tori in the middle they, she was like a sister to them and they wanted her safe and well and she wasn't well.

"Well ill start from the beginning. Many years ago there was a pendant; it has an enormous power, power that could wipe out the Universe. If the power gets into the wrong hands then it would mean the end. An evil ninja got his hands on it his name was

"khainoos" Said Tori, she had to force herself to say it, that name gave her the shivers and made her feel sick. Everyone stared at Tori, she could feel their eyes burning into her, but she kept her head down.

"As I was saying" everyone turned back to look at sensei " Khainoos was an evil ninja, he stole the pendant and intended to use it for his own gain, but he was stopped by a powerful ninja family, they were then the guardians of the pendant, to save it from getting into the wrong hands." Sensei Kanoi looked at Tori and she nodded back to him to tell him to carry on "Khainoos came back a few years ago to reclaim the pendant he sought for so long. The pendant was in the hands of a woman called Rochelle Hanson" sensei paused he saw the expressions on the four boys faces and the shock that it was Tori's mother that protected the pendant.

"Tori you never told us your mum was a protector of the pendant, why didn't you tell us I thought we were your friends"? Said Shane angry that Tori kept this from them.

Tori still had her head down, so may emotions were flowing through her she didn't know what to do, a small tear escaped from her eyes.

"Shane there was no need for that, this is not her fault". Said Hunter, he was hurt that Tori never told him or the others but he was hurting because he knew she was deep down inside hurting even more.

"Enough" Cried sensei. "Yes it was Tori's mother.." sensei was cut off again by Blake who had been quiet listening and trying to take in what he was hearing "Sensei who has the pendant now"

"I do" Tori took her pendant off her neck and laid it down on the table. Everyone stood gawping at the beautiful silver pendant with diamonds incrusted on it.

"Woah, that is… is … just amazing" Said Dustin lost for words, and that rarely happens when it comes to Dustin.

"So how long have you had this Tor" Said Hunter

"Since I was 10, when Khainoos came after my mother she gave me the pendant to guard and he killed her, he killed her, he killed her" Tori let all her pent up emotions out and felt comforting arms around her.

Hunter couldn't cope with seeing her like this; he didn't care what people would think he went over to her and put his arms around her and held her while she cried. The others were in shock, they have never seen Tori like this, they knew her mother was dead but never how she really died. Once Tori had calm down Sensei started to speak "It has been a long day, for all of us. You all should go to your homes and come back here tomorrow, we have still yet to discuss other matters, Cameron please give Blake his morpher and as to why Tori does not have one will be explained tomorrow as will the rest. Goodnight" With that sensei left followed by Cam after he said hisgoodbyes and huggedTori.

Cam had known about Tori's past when Tori came to the wind academy but didn't feel it was his place to tell anyone nor question Tori about her life. It was late so everyone decided to go home, Shane and Dustin offered Tori to stay with them but she insisted to stay on her own in her apartment (a/n Tori has her own 2 bedroom apartment and Shane and Dustin share a 3 bedroom apartment but live in the same complex).

"Tor you can't stay on your own, please at least be with one of us" Pleaded Dustin he didn't want her being alone, not now, not at this time.

"Dustin ill be fine"

"We aren't going to take no for an answer if you don't want to stay with us you are going to stay with one of us like it or not" Said Shane, he wasn't their for her when she needed someone, he should of realised something was wrong, to be a real friend.

Hunter got so fed up he grabbed Tori spun her and put her on his back holding her so she couldn't escape his grip "Right come on blue, I'm taking you home and I don't care what you say or how much you will beat me up for it, see you guys tomorrow at Ops"

"What! Hunter put me down, Hunter I'm warning you! Shane, Dustin, Blake, Cam, help me, you guys are soo going to get it you wait" Cried Tori half screaming and laughing but she didnt wantHunter to know that she felt a lot better in Hunters strong and muscular arms

"Woah that was umm. Unexpected, when did Hunter become so caring? Is there something I'm missing here"? Said Blake half amused and confused.

All he received was silence and smirks "What is going on come on tell me"

"What? There's absolutely nothing to tell" Said Shane

"Yeah absolutely nothing to tell" Said Dustin hiding his laughter for he finally caught onto the way Tori and Hunter were acting towards each other.

"What ever I'm going to get some sleep, ill see you all tomorrow"

"Dude where you going"? Said Shane

"My hotel where do you think"?

"No way man you're staying with us" Said Dustin; he wanted to hear everything about Blake while he's been away.

"You sure I thought Hunter was staying round your apartment"?

"Something makes me think he won't be home tonight"? Said Shane

Blake didn't like what he was hearing; he would have a word with Hunter tomorrow for now he will catch up with what's happening in Blue Bay Harbour since he has been gone.
