Meeting the Enemy

It was just an accident… Hunter was still occupied with the events of yesterday as he jogged down a path near the beach. The beach was already packed with surfers and holidaymakers so he felt reasonably safe… until a shadow blocked his path and he looked up into the eyes of his stepfather.

"Morning son," Phil greeted him.

"What do you want?" Hunter didn't feel like playing along with his stepfather this morning, especially since he was suspicious of his involvement in Blake's accident.

"I heard about your brother's little tumble yesterday. Something about dodgy brake cables was it?"

Hunter stared at Phil in shock, "What did you do?"

Up in space Lothor grinned, "Time for you to meet the rangers, Phantasm."

"I look forward to it." The alien smiled as she was teleported down to earth…

Phil stepped back, a look of mock horror on his face, "Me? Do you really have so little faith in me, son? I did nothing, just heard about the accident from the guy that comes to cut the grass. He's a biker too."

Hunter would really have liked to hit Phil at that moment, but instead just balled his hands up into fists. "Why don't I believe you?"

Phil shrugged, "Believe what you want. Your mother says hi, by the way. She's still not happy about you riding but she's willing to forgive you if you'll just come home."

Hunter opened his mouth to give an angry retort, but was cut off sharply by a beeping from his morpher. "I have to go," he said, and turned and ran. Phil stared after him, curiosity and suspicion clouding his face. His stepson had a secret, and Phil wanted to know what it was.

"Hunter here," Hunter spoke into his communicator as soon as he reached a secluded spot.

"Lothor's sent down another creature," Cam replied. "The others are on their way, get to the quarry."

Hunter sighed and looked around. He couldn't see anyone and prepared to morph, "Thunder Storm, Ranger Form" he cried and soon the Crimson Ranger was streaking to the quarry to meet Lothor's latest threat…
