Tori didn't know where she was for a moment all she could feel was immense pain surging through her body as she lay on the cold concrete floor in a small darkened cell. As she slowly got up and tried to take in her surroundings she started remembering what had happened a while ago, her in hunters arms and Blake, Dustin and Shane's voices.

"Oh my god" Joy leapt into her heart as she knew her friends had come for her but only for a slight moment as she felt her body go numb when realisation hit her that they were captured just like her and because of her.

"It's all my fault that they're in this mess" sobbed Tori. 'If it wasn't for me then they would all be safe and not in harms way' thought Tori as the tears rolled down her already bruised face.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back in the dimly lit room stood the 4 ninjas looking at the man that Dustin and Shane thought to be dead after all these years, as well as Tori.

Jason thought he should be the one to break the silence and introduce himself but from the looks he was getting they may know already.

"My name is Jason Hanson, I used to teach at the Thunder Ninja Academy before I was captured by Khainoos and yes, I am Tori Hanson's father, your blue wind ranger" Jason wasn't sure how to approach the ninjas but he thought simple was better considering their circumstances.

Shane nudged Dustin to start speaking first as he knew Tori the longest and had met her father before but only briefly when both he and Tori were kids just before everything with khainoos had started.

"Uh, umm, hey dude, I, I mean Mr.Hanson, I mean sensei, oh god" Dustin just couldn't get his words out he had not seen the man in front of him in years.

Jason had to laugh 'god it feels good to laugh after so many years' at the now young man in front of him compared to the little boy who was always full of character and always funny and yes the usual phrase of 'dude' that he used, not much had changed.

"Dustin you haven't changed one bit except you've grown a lot taller"

All Dustin could do was smile and nod his head; he couldn't believe Tori's father had remembered him.

"You can call me Jason, please"

"No problem dude, I mean Jason"

The tension that filled the room a few minutes had gone and everyone felt slightly at ease with the man they believed to be Tori's father.

"Um Mr. I mean Jason, I don't mean to be rude but what's going on how come your here, we need to find Tori she's here..."

Jason cut stopped Hunters concerned ranting and thought it was about time he answered the questions that was running through everyone's minds.

"No offence taken, I'm sorry I don't know your name" Jason knew Dustin but he didn't recognise the other 3 young men in the room.

"Sorry, my name is Hunter Bradley crimson thunder ranger, this is my brother Blake navy thunder ranger, and this is Shane red wind ranger" Hunter told Jason who was nodding his head smiling, 'thunder rangers'.

"Well nice to meet you 3, well to answer your questions as you know I am Tori's father, as you may be aware now, I'm sure sensei wantanabe has filled you in that my wife was the protector of a great power that was held in a pendant, it was passed down the line and it would be given to Tori next".

Everyone could see the pain in the man's eyes as he retold the terrible and hurtful tale of the life that was turned upside down from him.

"The power was wanted by many, an evil creature known as Khainoos was very powerful, he tried many times to get the power but failed. One day while I was at the local mall shopping with Tori to buy my wife a birthday gift I was attacked by khainoos, I was at my weakest, I was with my daughter. We battled back and forth exchanging blows but out the corner of my eye Khainoos minions were going after Tori, I tried my hardest to protect her, I managed to run to Tori and told her to run to the academy and get help, I made a distraction for her and she managed to escape however I didn't see Khainoos fire at me, I felt a pin surge through my body and everything went black. I woke to find myself in this cell and I've been here ever since" The heartache he felt retelling this story was unbearable, all he wanted was his family back, to see his daughter again.

"No one knew much about Khainoos then; they didn't know he had me they thought I was dead, that he had destroyed me, but he hasn't, but that doesn't mean he wont. This is why we need to make a move"

"What do you have in mind, were here to help any way we can to get Tori safe and us out of here" Said Shane, ready to kick some bad guy ass. Everyone nodded their heads in unison willing to risk everything for their team mate.

Jason looked at the young men in admiration, he knew they cared a lot about his daughter, but sensed something deeper from the two thunder brothers.

"Thank you all, Tori must mean a lot to all of you, I see you all care for her dearly"

"She plays a special part in all our lives, she's the heart of our team, and were ready to get her back to keep us in line" Said Shane showing his softer more emotional side and slightly chuckling at the last bit, whether he liked it or not Tori was the one to keep them together, the reliable one, the sensible one.

Jason felt his heart warm to the 4 young and dedicated ninjas in front of him, he was glad Tori had such lovely, caring friends that would go to such lengths to keep her safe.

Suddenly there was a loud crash down the hall which startled the ninjas

"I think we have out stayed our welcome" Rushed Blake regaining his composure.

"Yes, I think your right, we don't have much time, we have to be quiet and keep low, be aware of your surroundings and follow me". With that said Jason turned and opened the door ready to get his daughter back.
