Chapter 3:
Gandalf and the rangers all sat down on the top of the hill that made bag end.
"First off you shouldn't try to hide from me that you have power, I can sense it coming off of all of you. Despite the fact that I have never felt this kind of power before, I know that you five command at least some power over the elements."
The rangers all looked stunned and uncomfortable at the same time. Once again it was Cam that spoke:
"We are powerful warriors from our own world, they are ninja, I am samurai."
Gandalf took a long draw from his pipe and exhaled "You said something of another world?"
"Yes, well, it's hard to explain. We were in a fight when a huge explosion occurred. The next thing we know we are here."
"Hmmm." Gandalf then looked over all the rangers seizing them up. "Well tomorrow you will have to show me some of this power, for tonight it is a friend's birthday, and I shall not miss it for the world. You six are invited of course as everyone in the shire is. Now I must go."
Gandalf turned around and walked down the hill.
Blake spoke first:
"Sooo what should we do."
"Well let's enjoy the night. After all it's a party right, lets have some fun."
"Dustin's right lets go."
The rangers all left and went down the hill except for Blake and Tori, who both sat down on the grass.
"How can they go off and party with our current situation over our heads?"
"Well I know my bro is just trying to escape from it, as I am sure the others are to."
"I'd rather stay here with you all night Blake."
"Sounds like a plan to me."
Down at the foot of the hill Dustin looked back up just in time to see Blake and Tori embrace each other. His hands clenched for barely and second and then he let resignation fill him.
He and Tori had been best friends their whole lives and it wasn't until right before they became rangers that Dustin realized that he had fallen in love with her, but he never found a way to say so.
Then Blake came and swept her off of her feet. Her brought a finger across his eye and brushed away the tear that threatened to escape. Then took a big breath and ran off to join the others in front of him.
The party that night played out exactly like they all remembered from the movie. The rangers that attended, all minus Blake and Tori, seemed to be avoided by most of the Hobbits who were, as always, intimidated by the big people.
In fact the only hobbits who even spoke to them didn't stop talking all night; they of course were Merry and Pippin.
After an hour of the constant slightly drunken banter Shane had enough.
"Dudes, why don't you go over there and I don't know find some more of those fireworks."
The two hobbits brightened at the idea and took off. As they left, Cam fell out of his seat in laughter. Hunter helped him up "Dude what's the deal?"
"Just watch." He said as he pointed to where the firework tent was.
The other rangers still didn't get what Cam was talking about. Then they saw a bright flash go up in the sky, take form and zoom down towards the party. The hobbits began to scream dragon.
Shane and Dustin who still hadn't figured it out stood in their morphing stances
"Ninja Storm Ran"
"No you two dolts." Cam placed his arm over their wrists, ad he pointed to the sky and the firework exploded. "I swear you think that one of you would remember something about this place."
The night passed and they watched in amusement as Bilbo pulled his disappearing act. After the party ended they were approached by Gandalf.
"I set up rooms for you all at the local inn. You will be able to stay there for at least a week."
"Thank you Gandalf, we really appreciate it."
Cam and the others made their way to the inn but not before stopping by to get Tori and Blake, who had fallen asleep in each others arms.
Hunter walked over to his brother and knelt beside his ear.
"WAKE UP!"
Blake jumped up causing Tori to get up as well. Hunter fell down laughing. As the other rangers stood off to the side in laughter.
When Blake got his bearings he looked at his brother "You. If I wasn't so tired I'd kick your ass right here."
Hunter got up and looked at Blake. "Feh, you wish. We got rooms at the inn lets go."
The team then all headed to the inn down the road.

Ninja Ops:
"Any response yet Cyber Cam."
"None Sensei dude, but it's only been a couple of hours."
"Correct, have you gathered any more information about the ranger's location."
Cyber Cam shook his head. "Sorry little sensei man."
Angel Grove:
Andros sat in his living room with his wife Ashley. Watching their daughter Cassie play with her toys, when a loud beeping echoed through the house. Andros and Ashley looked at each other recognizing the noise despite not hearing it in years. Andros jumped over the couch and ran to his study, opened a up a box and pulled out his morpher.
"This is Andros what's going on." "Andros my friend." Came Zhane's voice "It's been too long."
"Agreed but I know you wouldn't use the morpher for a social call."
"True, I've picked up a message from blue bay harbor; here I'll send it to you."
Andros stood and listened to the elder Wantanabe's message. "Ok, so have you verified it?" "No but I do know the latest team is located there."
"Ok, Zhane I'll assemble some of the rangers who still live around here and see what's up."
"Thanks Andros. I would be there myself but the KO-35 to Earth commute isn't exactly short."
"I know. Bye."
