Hey y'all.

Hmm, how short is this chapter? I hope you can forgive me. The next one should be longer and I'll try and make the time between chapters shorter!

A big shout out to The Real Vampire, who gave me the idea for this chapter and I just ran with it! You rock! So… on with the story.

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.

Chapter 7

On Lothor's space ship…

"Zurgane, recruit me a monster that is more powerful than any monster we have used before!" Lothor said to his general.

"Sire, where would I find one?"

"I don't care. You're the general. Just do it."

"Yes Sire."

At the beach…

The guys were all hanging out together, apart from Keiko who had 'work' to take care of, which actually meant, she had training with Cam and Leanne.

Shane walked over and sat down next to Hunter after getting some drinks, "So, how are things with Keiko going?"

Hunter turned to him, "Um, fine I guess…" he mumbled.

"Come on bro, what's that supposed to mean?" Blake said, turning to his brother with a look of genuine concern on his face.

"I don't know, it just seems that for the past month or so, she's been distant from me, you know? It's like she doesn't want to be with me anymore. She always has something better to do than hang out with us or just spend time together."

Dustin placed his arm on Hunter's shoulders and sighed, "Dude, she'll come around. Maybe she just needs some space?" he tried to keep the insecurity from his voice as he didn't actually believe what he was saying.

"Yeah, I agree. Just give her time," Blake said, smiling weakly.

Hunter nodded but understood that they were just trying to make him feel better. That his relationship with Keiko was ending and there was nothing he could do to stop it. He'd die for her but he wasn't so sure that she'd do the same for him.

At Ninja Ops…

Cam and Leanne were sparing while Keiko was practising with her lightening blade. She was getting quite good at it and had actually beaten Leanne at a match. Granted the Thunder Blade and Lightening Blade were different but still, it was a pretty close competition.

The alarm sounded. Cam rushed off to help the others and Keiko, Leanne and Sensai made their way to the super computer. They began to watch the fight and it wasn't going well. The rangers were losing yet again. This monster was hideous and more powerful than even Sensai had ever seen before. He wasn't sure that even with all their powers combined; they would be able to defeat him.

The monster looked like some sort of bee, with a huge sting on its back, huge claws and eyes that shot energy.

Sensai didn't even have to say anything, he just turned and Keiko nodded.

"Lightening Storm, Ranger Form!"

She streaked to the scene and joined the others in the fight. She tried to fire her arrows, Shane tried his hawk blaster. The lion hammer and sonic fin didn't do anything either. Along with the crimson blaster and navy antler being rendered useless as well, they were pretty much stuck and wounded.

Cam attacked from behind with his Sabre and actually caused some damage but this only resulted in the monster becoming extremely mad, singling out the Crimson Ranger as he was stood furthest away from the group.

He aimed his eyes and laughed bitterly, "Full power!"

He fired and Hunter didn't have time to move. He just stood there while there beams were coming towards him.

Keiko gasped and dropped her bow. She didn't stop at the shouts from her team mates and she didn't stop to listen to the voices in her head telling her she was an idiot. Instead she continued running as fast as she could and pushed him out of the way of the beam, taking the blast herself.

Hunter ended up on the floor, banging his head but she ended up much worse. He looked up to see the Ranger suit disappear and the person to fall lifelessly face down in the dust.

The monster laughed again, this time in happiness, "Lothor is going to be so pleased! I destroyed a Ranger! I destroyed a Ranger!" he started dancing in a circle and then turned back to the group, "I'd hate to beeeee you right now… It's time for me to buzzzzzzzz off!"

With that, he vanished and the Rangers gathered around their fallen comrade, going back to their Ninja forms. Cam knelt down and let tear slide down his face, out of them all, he was the only one who knew who she was and why she did that, how hard she'd trained just so she could help. She could have just walked away, leave the entire thing behind her, but she didn't. She tried her hardest, for nothing. The group looked at the comatose cadaver and became deeply saddened, especially Hunter.

"Why would she do that?" Hunter asked, unable to form any logical explanations.

Cam merely shook his head and looked up at him; he turned the body over gently so the face was facing them, "Because she loved you."

Well? What you think? What's coming next? Oh, and please don't hate me for the ending! What can I say; I love cliff hangers… especially when I'm the one writing them. Review please?
