A/N: I just wanted to explain why I bumped this up to R rating. In later chapters there will be some very intimate scenes, as well as an increase in cursing. And "Intense battle sequences". Which is the most BS rating tag I've ever seen. Anyway once again thanks go out to, Yellowcrimsonforever, Thalia-Sandy, garnetred, BlueWindNinja27, and nova bomb for taking the time to review. Oh yea, if anyone can tell me what the name of this chapter is from, ie. its meaning, you will win the awesomeness award for the week. I will reveal it in the next update.
Chapter 4:NCC-74656
The next morning Dustin was the first to wake up.
Why am I on the floor instead of my bed?
It took a few moments for his memory to catch up with him.
Oh yea because we're on another world, great.
He stood up and saw all his teammates spread out on the ground, except for Cam whom had slept in a chair and Tori who was in the single bed in the room.
For just a moment Dustin just watched Tori sleep.
She is so beautiful.
Dustin stood there just watching Tori sleep. Admiring all of her curves for what seemed like an eternity.
His concentration, however, was broke when Hunter began to wake up.
"Dude please tell me that I'm still dreaming."
"Sorry man." Dustin pulled Hunter up. "I wish I was though. This whole other world thing is way too trippy for me."
"I know."
"Should we wake them?"
Hunter gave his half-grin. "Of course"
Hunter went downstairs and borrowed a couple of pans.
"Oh dude you are so on your own with this." Dustin backed up and put his fingers in his ears.
Hunter slammed the pans together. "Yo lazy asses, wake up, we don't have time for ya'll to waste!" He continued to slam the pans together until the others were awake.
Cam got out of the chair and looked at Hunter. "Could you have possibly done that in a more irritating manner?"
"Of course I could have."
"Bro," Blake said as he put his arm around Hunter. "That's two; one more and you're getting throttled ok."
"Well you can try."
Shane stumbled to the doorway. "Need coffee." Was all he could choke out before he stumbled out the door towards the kitchen.
Blake went over to Tori and placed a kiss on her forehead. "Good mornin baby."
"It would have been better if your brother would act more mature."
Tori sat up and shot a look at Hunter. "Don't make a habit out of this, got it."
"Well I can't make any promises."
"I think I'll go get some food, come on Cam"
"Good idea."
Blake and Tori both shot looks at Hunter that said: Privacy now!
Despite it taking him awhile to realize it he said "Oh, uhhh bye." and shot out the door.
"That's better, Now where was I." Tori stood up, with the blanket wrapped around her, and wrapped her arms around Blake, pulling him into a kiss.
It was very light, like all that they shared, but it was perfect.
"Now go so I can put my outfit back on." The male rangers had all just slept in their ninja wear.
Tori, however, went and found some garments that would suffice for night clothes.Despite being a serious tomboy she still was not going to sleep and wear the same thing for days.
About thirty minutes later the rangers all piled out of the inn and headed towards Bag end.
"So explain again why we need to do this "demo" of ninja powers?"
"Because Dustin, we need to make sure Gandalf trusts us. If anyone on this world can help us, it would defiantly be him."
Gandalf was again sitting on the hill smoking a pipe as they approached.
"Well my young friends it is good to see you again. Come, down to the other side of the lake. No one will bother us there."
They followed Gandalf as he led them to a small clearing near the lake.
"Now, please I am eager to see some of the powers you possess."
Hunter looked at his brother and they both stepped back a few feet and took semi-meditative positions.
Hunter formed a ball of crimson lightning in his hand. He shoved his hands forward and fired it at Blake. Who then caught it as it came by. Blake charged it slightly more and split it into two balls: one crimson, one navy. He then threw both at Hunter. Hunter dodged one which slammed into the ground. And as he twirled around he kicked the other one at his brother. Blake didn't act fast enough and got clipped by the ball. Sending him spinning to the ground.
Hunterwent over andhelped him up.
"Very nice, I assume you command Lightning?"
"Thunder actually." Blake corrected.
Gandalf turned around "What are your elements?" he asked of the three wind rangers.
"Well I'm air, Tori's water and Dustin's earth."
"Do you all have the mastery that these two possess?"
"Pretty much."
"Hmmm." Gandalf looked over the shire and watched Frodo and Sam walking in the garden in front of Bag end as he concentrated.
"So, what do you want from me?"
"Well, we know you are a powerful wizard and were hoping that you might know of some way we could travel back home."
"I am sorry Cam I do not have such knowledge. However, Saruman the greatest of my order should know of a way. I need to pay him a visit in any cause so I will bring it up to him then. I do not believe that I will come this way right after that meeting; I will go through Rivendell though. So I think you should go there. I will send Elrond message to expect you."
"Ok when should we leave?"
"As soon as I do, Shane. For it will take you a long time to travel compared to me. Go into the town and get provisions. Here is a map. I am sure that you will find your way. Now I must go. Until we meet again."
With that Gandalf took off to the stables to get his horse.
"Well, now we get to hike through completely unknown territory to get to a place that none of us have ever been to. Oh will this be fun." Cam spat with as much sarcasm as he could muster.
"Don't be so down Cam, this could be fun."
"Tori's got a point even if we are stuck in some other universe, at least we don't have to fight any of Lothor's goons."
The rangers all went back into the town proper and loaded up and supplies, as well as backpacks to carry in. They put all the charges on Gandalf's tab, just like he had suggested to them.
The rangers then got on the road that the came in on. The road that will lead them out of the Shire.
