Hey everyone!
Thanks for all the reviews. Means a lot…
Whoa! Sorry for the 2/3 month delay. Should get more on track now but I can't promise anything. Sorry!
It's driving me crazy and total writers block for this story doesn't help.
OK, hope you like this chapter.
As you may have noticed, I have made a few things up. I don't know if there is a skateboard team at Storm Chargers, but there is now.
I don't actually know what colours Kapri and Marah are, I know one's orange so if I have it wrong, please let me know so I can change it.
Oh, and they are good now, but Lothor still exists. The time scale of things is totally messed up in this story so if you get confused at any point, just ask, ok? I don't mind explaining it to you.
Also, if you notice I have anything else wrong, please feel free to let me know!
Disclaimer: (I forgot to put a disclaimer on the first chapter because I am new at this and didn't know how to work the site, but this applies for the previous chapter as well.) This is FICTION, hence the site. This is just something that has come from my twisted and warped mind. So please don't sue, as I have nothing to give you! Oh, and the story title is from the song 'Mistaken Identity' by Delta Goodrem.
Pairings: Hunter/OC, Blake/Tori, Dustin/Marah, Cam/Leanne, Shane/Kapri
Chapter 5
The next day, Keiko began her intense training. She went for her run, returned back to Ninja Ops to start fighting techniques. Her fitness was there but she continued to fail the fighting against Leanne and Cam. After she'd been training for over 5 hours, Sensai told her that she'd had enough training for one day. She thanked them all and went back to her flat.
That night…
Keiko was lying in her bed, staring at the ceiling and trying to figure out how Cam had beaten her in their battle. She thought she was actually doing quite well until he struck her and she went flying into the wall behind her, that's when she realised she wasn't. She was suddenly jilted out of her thoughts by the phone ringing. She looked at her clock, '11.30… who could possibly ringing at this time?' she thought as she answered the phone, "Hello?"
"Hello, is this Miss Ford?"
"Yes it is."
"It's Dr Hampton. I am calling just to let you know that our patient Hunter Bradley has woken up now."
"Really? Great. I'll be there straight away."
"Very well Miss. Goodbye."
Keiko placed the phone down and jumped out of bed. She got changed into a white shirt and blue jeans and raced out of the house and to her car. She drove to the hospital and entered Hunter's room with a huge smile on her face. He looked to see who was coming into his room and grinned when he saw Keiko.
"Candy!"
She walked over to him and kissed his forehead, "Hey you. You feel better?"
"Now you're here," he patted the side of the bed. She sighed and laid down next to him on her right side, while he was on his left. They were facing each other and he started to play with her hair like always, "If one more nurse comes near me with something sharp, I'm going to scream."
She laughed slightly which turned into a stifled yawn.
"Candy, you're so tired. Why did you come?"
"To see you, obviously."
"You shouldn't have. You should have come tomorrow."
She didn't answer him, just nestled more into his chest. He chortled to himself and wrapped his arm around her shoulders, drifting off to sleep himself.
A week later,
Keiko was starting to get better at her fighting techniques. She had actually got some hits into Leanne and Cam and was starting to work on her fighting with the Lightning Blade. She had lost the feeling and passion she once had for it and desperately wanted to get it back.
Disturbances had gone into overdrive and Lothor seemed to be using all his effort in the short space of time, when he possibly had an advantage.
Hunter was discharged from the hospital and Kelly hosted a party to celebrate at Storm Chargers. Everyone went and had a good time but this was cut short, as there was a monster at the beach.
2 months later…
"Take that!" Keiko shouted, sweeping and kicking a Kelzack. She defeated a whole group of them. Swiftly, the room went black and Cam removed the head piece from her head.
"Well done my child…" Sensai praised her, "You are getting good at your fighting."
"Thank you Sensai."
"Hey everyone, come look at this," Cam called.
Leanne, Keiko and Sensai walked over to the main computer and gasped. Cam had finally figured out where the Crane Zord went and it looked amazing. "That's not all," he said. He pressed a button and another picture of the Crane Zord attached to the Thunderstorm Megazord. He also showed pictures of her weapon, the Lightning Bow, attached to the Thunderstorm Cannon.
"I have a present for you, Keiko," Cam said, smiling.
She looked at him smiling. He pressed a button and the design of her tsunami cycle appeared. She stared and her eyes couldn't have got much wider, "Oh my God! Thank you so much Cam!" she said, hugging him from behind as he was perched on his computer chair.
"You've earned it." Sensai said interrupting, "But there is one more test you must do before you are finally ready. We must make sure nothing can hinder your performance out there."
Keiko nodded.
"Please put on the visor again."
Keiko did as she was asked and waited. A scene fired up and she began to battle to Kelzacks until Lothor appeared, holding Hunter, "Well, well, well… isn't this a predicament you're in. I'll give you a choice, Hunter or yourself. I will destroy one of you, don't worry about that."
Sensai, Leanne and Cam watched from the computer as she dropped to her knees. They knew what was going on as the computer showed them what she was seeing.
"Me… destroy me!" she yelled. Hunter was flung into the air and a laser was fired at her. She took the blast and the screen went blank again.
She removed the visor and turned to Sensai, "I'm sorry Sensai, I am obviously not ready." She got up and turned to go towards the training room.
"Keiko, why do you say you are not ready?" came a voice.
"I was killed. I was no good out there…" came the reply.
"Keiko come here," she walked back over and knelt in front of her teacher, while he stood on the desk, "you were wonderful out there. Your skills were tremendous and your passion was there. You were destroyed, but out of your own choice. You saved the person you care about most in the world's life. You sacrificed yourself for Hunter. You followed your heart and that is one of the ninja techniques that cannot be taught. You passed the test."
She looked up from the floor and smiled, "Thank you Sensai…"
"You are welcome my child. Now go and rest. We will call you when the time is right. Until then, remember, a Ninja's greatest weapon is her heart."
She nodded and left Ninja Ops, slightly relieved and slightly scared. What if that actually happened out there? Could she bring herself to sentence herself to death in reality? She sighed and slumped to the ground. She sat there thinking, until she felt the pain in her chest again.
"You know what," she said out loud, "I would."
Hope you like it, if so, drop me a review? Please? Pretty please?
