The next day

------------------

Still no clue from the spaceship. Hunter was growing more agitated with the minute. He snapped at everyone only to apologise seconds later. He hadn't slept much since the last time he woke up the other day. The others always pressured him to go to bed. So he did only to return half an hour later, telling he couldn't sleep. The other's hadn't slept much either. At most 5 hours. Hunter was pacing again, making the others even more nervous. Cam was sitting in front of his computer for the last twelve hours. He tiredly rubbed his eyes and looked through the room. Tori and Blake sat on the couch, nearly asleep. Shane and Hunter were doing some sparring to stay awake. Cam sighed annoyed.

" Hunter, no sparring." Cam spoke. To risky with his injuries. Hunter glared at him but stopped anyway, returning to pacing. Minutes went by slowly and seemed like hours.

" Guys, I think I might have something!" Cam exclaimed. The others were at his side in an instant.

" The spaceship is hovering some where over Europe. That might give some trouble but we'll use the zords to get there. If we find Dustin I should be able to teleport us out." Cam reported.

" Good. Let's get going then." Hunter said.

" Bro, you're not going anywhere." Blake replied, firm.

" Like hell I am. He's my boyfriend. I'm going and that's final." Hunter said determined.

" Fine, here's the plan. I scanned the space ship and might've found the room where they're keeping Dustin. We morph just in case. We try to stay together. If we run into trouble, Hunter and Blake keep going. Blake, you stay guard outside the room so you can alert Hunter in case of any trouble while Hunter goes inside. Everyone ready?" They nodded. They morphed, summoned their zords and took off to the spaceship.

On the spaceship

------------------------

They carefully entered. So far so good. Lothor didn't seem to notice their presence which was good because they wanted to avoid any confrontation with Lothor or his goons.

" Man, this place is huge." Shane sighed as they once again ran into a dead end. They returned to the place they came from and tried a different side.

" Hello and welcome in my spaceship!" Lothor said from behind them. Hunter sighed as he and the others turned around. Lothor had a bunch of kelzacks with him plus Motodrone. The winds and Cam stood in front of the thunders giving them a chance to run off. The kelzacks and Motodrone attacked, trying to follow them but the remaining four blocked their paths and battled them the best they could, hoping that Hunter and Blake would find Dustin soon so they could get out.

Hunter and Blake ran further in the maze of halls. They ran as fast as they could and occasionally looked back but no one followed them. They knew the others couldn't keep that up for long so they had to find Dustin and fast before Lothor got the others ,too. Then they were in trouble. They ran past a door of wood. Hunter stopped.

" Wasn't that the room?" He asked. Blake nodded as they ran back. They tried to open the room, unsuccessfully. The door was solid. Hunter groaned.

" Now what?" he asked frustrated.

" Let's try it thunder style." Blake suggested. Hunter nodded. They closed their eyes and concentrated. Jolts of lightning danced around their fingers. They aimed the sparks at the door which flew open.

" Stay here." Hunter said as he demorphed and ran in the room. Blake nodded and closed the door.

Hunter noticed it was the same room they were locked in before his gaze fell upon an unconscious Dustin who looked even more worse then before. He shoulder was turning purple, his wrists were still bloody and his face and hair were a complete mess. Hunter sank down next to him.

" Dustin, babe." Hunter gently shook his shoulder. The door opened and Blake entered, unmorphed

" Blake, what are you…" He trailed off as zurgane appeared behind him, holding the tip of his sword against Blake's back.

" I-I'm sorry. I-I didn't s-see him coming." Blake stammered.

" Step away from him." Zurgane ordered as he stepped closer, pushing Blake in front of him. Hunter stood up and hesitated for a moment. He looked from Blake to Dustin and back. Then he slowly stepped back. He loved Dustin but Blake was still more important to him. He silently begged Dustin for forgiveness. Zurgane pushed Blake against Hunter who held him. Zurgane roughly dragged Dustin out of the room, locking them in.

" I'm so sorry. He surprised me." Blake said against Hunter. Hunter rubbed his back.

" Don't worry, bro." Hunter comforted him. They opened the door the same way they got in and ran back to the others. About half way, they ran into them.

" No luck?" Shane asked. Blake reported what happened.

" We can't stay here. We have to go back. Everyone on the ship knows we're here. This way lothor might plan an attach on earth. That still comes first." Cam said.

" I'm not going anywhere without Dustin. I'm not letting him down this time." Hunter crossed his arms.

" We have to. It's to risky. We can't afford some else to get captured." Shane agreed with Cam. Hunter muttered some ugly names under his breath.

" Not without Dustin. Not a chance." Hunter tried to keep his voice down but was about to yell at them.

" I'm not leaving hunter." Blake said.

" Me and Cam will go back. In case of trouble, we'll take care of it." Tori suggested.

" Good idea." Shane said.

" Good luck." Cam said, before teleporting him and tori out.

" Now what?" Blake asked.

" I'm gonna find Lothor and strangle him until he tells me where Dustin is." Hunter muttered under his breath.

" Bad plan, Hunter." Shane told him. Hunter cursed some more.

" What?! Where is he now?" They heard Marah yell. They quickly hid in a room.

" I took him to the room next to the room where he was before. The rangers have teleported out so it's safe now." Zurgane replied. Hunter smiled at Shane and Blake.

"Good, I'll go check on him later." Marah replied satisfied as they walked by.

" At least now we know where they're keeping Dustin." Shane whispered as he peeked out the door. " Coast is clear. Let' go!"

They ran back to the room and noticed two doors, one on the left and one the right. They first checked the left one. That was empty so it had to be he right one.

" You guys wait here and warn me in case of trouble. I'm going inside and first try to wake him. Last time I saw him he was unconscious." Hunter told them. Shane and Blake nodded. Hunter entered the room. Dustin was still out cold and was now tied up ,too. The ropes were already drawing some blood. Hunter kneeled down next to him and first untied him. He ran his fingers through Dustin's hair.

" Dustin, can you hear me? Come one ,babe, wake up." Hunter begged. Dustin didn't wake up nor did he respond which worried him. He gently shook Dustin's shoulder. Dustin finally stirred and opened his eyes.

" Hunter!" Dustin exclaimed surprised. " You're alive or I'm dead." He stated, sitting up and clutching his head. Hunter chuckled.

" I'm not dead and you aren't either." Hunter replied. Dustin hugged him tight and then claimed his mouth for a hard kiss. Hunter eagerly responded. In the hall, they heard commotion and then Shane and Blake ran in, pushing their full weight against the door.

" Could you save that for later?" Shane asked annoyed. Dustin and Hunter separated. " Cam! Teleport us back!" he yelled. They disappeared in a bright flash of light before marah and Zurgane ran in.

In Ninja Ops

----------------

Hunter carried Dustin to one of the rooms and stepped back to let Cam take care of his wounds. Cam wrapped a bandage around his bruised chest, shoulder and wrists.

" I'll leave you two alone." Cam said. Hunter nodded.

" Thanks." Dustin said. Hunter sat down on the side of the bed and took Dustin's hand.

" I'm glad you're okay." Hunter whispered. Dustin smiled.

" I'm glad you're okay ,too. I though you were dead." Dustin said.

" You don't get rid of me that easily." Hunter replied, running his thumb over the back of Dustin's hand. Dustin smiled.

" Ya know, it wasn't Lothor who was behind all this. It was Marah. She thinks I love her." Dustin told him.

" Marah? So she want me eliminated to have you? That girl's crazy." Hunter exclaimed.

" Runs in the family." Dustin joked, referring to Cam. Hunter laughed.

" Say, when is the last time you actually ate?" hunter asked, worried about his health.

" Since the night of our date." Dustin replied. Marah had brought him food but he would rather starve then take anything from that girl.

" I'll go get you something." Hunter offered, pressing his lips lightly on Dustin's. Dustin nodded. Hunter walked in the main room.

" So how is he?" Shane asked.

" Fine and hungry. He hasn't eaten anything since the night of our fate. I'm gonna get him some sandwiches." Hunter told them. Shane nodded. He was glad their friend was here save with them again. By the time Hunter returned to the room, Dustin was asleep, snoring softly. Hunter put the sandwiches next to the bed and covered Dustin with the blanket before returning to the others.
