Two months later:

"So when, ah, when was the last time you heard from Trent?" Dustin asked as he and Nevaeh walked just out side of Ninja Ops. "About a week an a half ago. But he sounded kina funny."

"What'da mean?"

"Well he said something was wrong with him and he didn't know what. He just said something about blacking out." Nevaeh's voice shook slightly.

"I'm sure he's fine. I mean unless you think there's something wrong?"

"I don't know, I just don't know!" Nevaeh sat down by a stream she and Dustin were walking by. Dustin sat down next to her and rubbed her back for a second. "I wish I knew how you felt so I could help you through this."

"Thanks Dustin." She gave him a quick kiss on the cheek, which made his face go pink. "I told Cameron..." Nevaeh never called her older brother by Cam, she hated that nickname. "...He thinks I'm over reacting that I should give him another week."

"Well maybe he's right. I've known Trent for a while, he can take care of himself."

"Dustin he's not a ninja like you, he can't fight that well"

Dustin knew he should change the subject. "Speaking of being a ninja, did you ask Sensei about training you?"

Nevaeh sighed "Yes, and his answer was the same as it was last week: No!" She took her shoes off and put her feet in the water, digging her toes into the dirt. "I should have known, he's been telling Cameron no for years. But what if some Kelzacs attacked one of us? How are we going to fight them off if you or one of the other Rangers aren't around? We do know some self defense but not enough." As Nevaeh was digging her toes in the dirt she felt something smooth and round and reached for it. "Bummer, Vaeh. Maybe I could teach you a thing or two. I mean after I talked to Sensei." Dustin shook his head "His punishments are harsh...what are you doing?"

Nevaeh was digging in the water and finally pulled out a small pink stone. "What's that?"

"I'm not sure, it looks like some sort of gem...hey it's glowing..."

"Right where he said it would be! We'll be taking that pretty little gem!"

Dustin and Nevaeh snapped their heads toward the new voice. A few yards away stood a woman dressed all in black and surrounding her were six......well Nevaeh and Dustin couldn't identify them.

"Who are you?" Dustin asked, standing, getting ready for anything. "The names Esla. Now hand over the Dino Gem and my Tyrannodrones won't hurt either of you." The woman's voice was very forceful. Nevaeh looked at Dustin "The Dino what?"

"The stone, the pink stone in your hand. Let me have it!"

"If you want it, I think I'll keep it." Nevaeh put it in her pocket as she got up.

"Bad decision." Esla looked at the Tyrannodrones "Get them!"

All at once the six Tyrannodrones came at Dustin and Nevaeh. Two grabbed Dustin and he couldn't break free, Nevaeh round housed one and ducked a punch from the other. As she was ducking Dustin sung his leg over her head and kicked the Tyrannodrone in the chest. He took the opportunity to call in to Ninja Ops. "Cam! We got a problem here!"

Cam swiveled in his chair to look at the screen; pinpointing where Dustin was with his Morpher Cam's eyes got big. "What on Earth are those?" At his side was the guinea pig who was actually his father. "I do not know they do not look like Luthor's men."

"I'm sending the other Rangers! Send Nevaeh back here now!" Cam swiveled back around where the other Rangers stood. "Their near the small brook about half a mile from here."

"Where on it Cam." Shane said looking at Tori

"What about Blake and Hunter?"

"I'll call them from the track if these guys give you more trouble then you three can handle."

"Ninja Storm! Ranger Form!" Tori and Shane said at once and in a flash of Blue and Red light transformed into the Ninja Storm Rangers.

"Power of wind!

"Power of water!"

In seconds the two were out of Ninja Ops and heading for Dustin and Nevaeh.

"You heard your brother." Dustin said fighting off a Tyrannodrone that had Nevaeh. "I'm not the best fighter Dustin but I can help you!"

"No way, I can barely take these flakes on with out my powers go back to Ninja Ops!" As he said this a Tyrannodrone grabbed Nevaeh from behind. She elbowed it, turned around and punched it in the chest. But as she did her hand and whole arm glowed. What looked like red color scales appeared on her arm and a spark coming from her fist lit the thing on fire. It squealed as it ran around before it was smart enough to jump into the stream. Dustin's eyes were huge "Ho-how, did you do that?"

"I don't know, it just happened."

Esla's eyes got big to, "Tyrannodrones! Forget just the gem, bring her and the gem to me!" With an ear splitting scream Esla raised her sword and a large bolt of electricity came down at Dustin and Nevaeh. "Move!" Dustin yelled and pushed Nevaeh away from him taking the full blast, he was thrown into the air and rolled right toward the Red and Blue Rangers who just got there "Dustin!" The Blue Ranger cried as she and over to him. Shane came running behind her. "Are you alright, man?"

Dustin slowly got up holding his chest "I've seen better days."

"You better Morph."

"Right...Ninja Storm! Ranger Form!" A flash of yellow light and Dustin was now the Yellow Ninja Storm Ranger. "Power of Earth!"

"You guys! A little help!!" Nevaeh screamed as all six Tyrannodrones jumped on her and lifted her up over their heads carrying her off to Esla. But before they could react Esla let lose three energy bolts, sparks flew everywhere as it directly hit all three Rangers. "More Rangers! How many teams are there!?" Esla was clearly angry but that anger turned to glee as the Tyrannodrones brought Nevaeh before her, she brought down her sword and smashed the hilt into Nevaeh's head knocking her out. "It doesn't matter now anyway..." She spat as the three Ninja Storm Rangers slowly got up griping their chest "I now have the Pink Dino Gem and the new Pink Dino Ranger! Mesagog will be pleased!" Esla laugh was evil "Till we meet again Power Freaks!" A hole opened in the sky and seemed to suck them all up into it, they were gone.

"Nevaeh!!" The Yellow Ranger yelled as he ran to the spot where she just was.

"Where did they go!?" Shane ran up to Dustin and looked up at the sky to.

"We have to get back to Ninja Ops, Sensei will know what to do."

"Tori's right, lets go Dustin..."

Cam sat in front of the computer typing furiously trying to locate his sister. "What do you mean you can't locate her?" Dustin sounded like he was starting to panic. "I mean, whoever took her must have hidden their trail well because their gone. There not anywhere in or near Blue Bay Harbor." Just then an alarm went off "It's one of Luthor's monsters. And it looks like Blake and Hunter are already there, go help them."

"Cam and I will keep searching for Nevaeh, right now you three can not worry about her."

"But-"

"No buts Dustin, keep your mind at the task at hand."

"Yes Sensei."

"But Sensei, that woman said something about us being another team of Rangers? What did she mean by that?"

"That is something Cam and I will try and figure out Tori. You, Shane and Dustin must go."

"Yes Sensei."

Shane stepped forward "Ninja Storm! Ranger Form!"
