Author's Note: School has started again so I may not be able to update this as often as I have been. So bear with me as I figure out the best way to manage the time I put into my stories. I just realized that there are only five or six chapters till the end of this story. At least that's the plan right now but who knows it could change if I'm not able to get everything wrapped up in that amount. We'll just have to wait and see.
PrettyDiva: Yes, things are definitely heating up. I agree with you on the whole bashing issue, I just don't see the need for it or understand why people do it for that matter.
Purple Strobe: I'm really not trying to give you a heart attack. Lol. But even if I am I'm glad you're still able to smile.
Pinkstranger: Yeah, Kat's job really is a pain but Kat's loyal to the Agency and right now doing her job comes first even if she does want to be with Tommy. It'll work out somehow in the end.
PurpleRanger76: I believe the kiss in question was back in chapter 19. So go and reread it if you missed it because that was the first time Tommy and Kat kissed in the fic.
As Lothor escapes from the Abyss of Evil, Blake Bradley comes to Reefside for a Motocross tournament. He walks into Hayley's Cyberspace and is immediately noticed by Kira who's there with Trent.
"Hey do we know each other?" Kira asked as she walked up to Blake.
"I don't think so, I'm Blake, this is Jesse," he replied.
"I don't know what it is, you just look so familiar to me," she told Blake.
"Are you a fan of motocross?" Blake asked.
"No why, is that what you do," Kira responded as a guy came up to Blake and asked for his autograph.
"Ok, so you're famous for riding a motorcycle, I didn't know you could be famous for that," Kira said as they sat down at a table.
"Why don't you come see for yourself, the nationals are this week at the Reefside Rx Park, bring some friends, I'll get you passes," Blake told her.
"Are you asking me out?" Kira questioned.
"No, it's not like that, part of being a rider is spreading the word of our sport," Blake informed her.
"Okay," Kira said as Jesse handed her the passes.
In Tommy's lab, Hayley and Tommy are testing out the new computer system.
"How's the new system going?" Tommy inquired.
"I don't think its working right, I've checked the routines, subroutines, every line of code it just doesn't make any sense," Hayley replied.
"What do you mean?" he asked.
"You see, this is a map of California and there appears to be a blanket of evil spreading over the state," Hayley informed him.
"You sure it's just a computer problem?" Tommy inquired.
"It better be or else we're in major trouble," Hayley told him.
Meanwhile, Tori, Shane, and Dustin, the former Wind Rangers, finish training their students in a forest, they meet with their Sensei. He tells them that Lothor is back and then gives them new Wind Morphers. However, when they attempt to morph, they are turned evil! Sensei then reveals himself to be Lothor!
At the MX Park, Cassidy and Devin arrive to interview Blake. Trent, Kira, Conner and Ethan are also there and are admitted freely because their names are on the list. Cassidy on the other had is forced to pay since her name isn't on the list.
"The name's Will Cole," Will said as he and Kat stepped up in line.
"Tell me again what this has to do with our case?" Kat asked as they entered the park.
"Nothing, I'm just a huge fan and besides we could use a little fun," Will told her.
"If you say so," Kat said as she followed him to where the race was about to start.
"Ok folks, we're ready to start the first race," the announcer said as the race began.
Back at Tommy's, Hayley is still in the lab where she is trying to fix the computer problems.
"Hayley, it's late you should go home and get some rest," Tommy told her.
"Look there it is again, the energy is radiating from somewhere over there," Hayley said as she pointed to the map.
"Blue Bay Harbor, that's where the ranger ninja school is," Tommy replied.
"I've had some correspondence with Cam Wantanabe but they discontinued the ranger program after Lothor was destroyed," Hayley informed him.
"I hope you still have that number," Tommy said.
At the ninja school, Lothor, his monsters, and the Wind Rangers attack the students and capture them. To save themselves, Marah and Kapri rejoin their uncle. When Cam, looking for the Wind Rangers, finds goo from the Abyss of Evil, he rushes back to the ninja school and finds it in ruins.
"Blake Bradley wins again!" the announcer said.
After the race, Blake meets up Kira and the others.
"That was an awesome race," Will said as he stepped up to get an autograph.
"Trent, we need to talk," Kat whispered as they stood away from the others who were all crowded around Blake.
"If this is about the other night, I'm sorry I tricked you into coming to the cyberspace but I just couldn't say no to Dr. O," Trent replied.
"That's not what we need to discuss and you know it," Kat replied.
"Oh right, this is about you going after my father," Trent said.
"What are two whispering about?" Conner asked as he approached them.
"Kat here was just complaining about all the smoke from the bikes and how it's clogging the air," Trent covered.
"So you guys want to get a bite to eat?" Blake asked the group as his communicator went off. "Uh, looks like we're going to have to reschedule," he said as he ran off.
"That was weird," Kira said.
"Not so weird," Ethan replied as their own communicators went off. They made some flimsy excuse to Will and Kat who pretended not to notice anything was up and they headed out of the park.
"You know, Blake Bradley was a ranger once," Will commented after they left.
"Is there anyone who was ranger that the agency doesn't know about?" Kat questioned.
"Not likely, unless of course they're on another planet or something, but something tells me we should check out what's going on," Will told her.
"Let's head to the office," Kat agreed.
Back at the lab, the teens are alerted to the situation and are surprised to learn about the evil rangers.
"Evil Power Rangers, how is that possible," Kira wondered.
"I thought we were the only rangers left," Trent commented.
"So did we, there's been an evil energy surge, we think the Abyss of Evil has been opened up," Hayley informed them.
"Dr. O, you think Lothor's back?" Kira asked.
"Unfortunately, but there's only one way to find out," Tommy told her.
The Wind Rangers attacked the city alongside two monsters and a group of Kelzaks and the Dino Rangers were sent to deal with them. Mesogog, recognizing the Kelzaks, realizes that Lothor is back and then sends Elsa to make a deal with him. After being defeated by the Wind Rangers, the Dino Rangers head back to Tommy's to regroup.
"The important thing is that you guys are ok and that we learned something," Tommy told them.
"What it's like to get our butts kicked?" Ethan asked.
"No, that it's gonna take a lot more than we have to defeat them," Tommy replied.
"More, like what?" Kira asked.
"I don't know Kira, that's what we need to find out," Tommy said.
"Why don't we just use our dino zords and kick some ninja butt," Conner suggested.
"I'm with Conner on this one," Ethan said.
"Me too," Kira agreed.
"Because, they're people who were once good and something has happened to them and until we figure that out, we defend ourselves but we don't destroy them," Tommy answered.
"You know there's something we haven't considered," Hayley said after a while.
"I'm way ahead of you, Mesogog right," Tommy replied.
"Can you imagine the two of them on the same side," Ethan said.
Inside I.D. headquarters, Will and Kat monitor the rangers and learn of the situation with the evil rangers and Lothor.
"Ethan's right, if those two team up then this whole city is in trouble," Will remarked.
"Especially with the Wind Rangers being turned evil," Kat said.
"Let's hope whoever contacted Blake has come up with a way to help and that they get here soon," Will remarked.
"I think I know where to find them," Kat said after she used the computer's database to read the information the agency had on the Ninja rangers.
"And just where do you think you're going?" Will asked as she logged off the computer and headed for the door.
"The Abyss of Evil," Kat said.
Sometime later, Hunter, Blake, and Cam enter the Abyss of Evil to retrieve their powers. They find Cam's morpher but are then attacked by Zurgane and Kelzaks. Blake is soon knocked off a ledge. As Hunter and Cam struggle to pull him up, Zurgane and the Kelzaks leave them to die.
"Need a hand?" Kat asked as she reached down to help them pull up Blake.
"Who are you?" Hunter asked once they had pulled him to safety. Kat was wearing a black ninja outfit and her face was covered.
"I'm just a friend who knows a thing or two about saving the world," she replied.
"Meaning what, that you were a ranger once too?" Blake questioned.
"Guys, we don't have time for this, we need to go and help the others," Cam interrupted.
"He's right, don't worry about me, I can get myself out of here," Kat told them.
At the cyberspace, Kira, Ethan and Conner are watching footage of the evil Wind Rangers on Ethan's computer.
"It says here that the ninja rangers defeated a hundred mutants at one time," Ethan read.
"After fighting them, I believe it," Kira said.
"Oh come on, I'd fight them right here, right now," Conner said and as he spoke Dustin, Shane and Tori walked into the cyberspace.
"Can I get you anything, a muffin, or a doughnut?" Conner asked.
"I try to stay away from sugar, it makes me hyper," Shane answered.
"I'd hate to see him when he's hyper," Ethan remarked.
"We have some unfinished business to take care of," Tori told them.
"Dude, she's kinda cute, don't you think," Conner whispered to Ethan.
"Yeah in a weird ninja terminator kind of way," Ethan replied.
"We're not going to fight you here," Conner told them.
"Well then, we're just going to have to destroy you," Shane said.
"We'll meet you wherever you want but you come alone," Conner replied.
"Why should we agree to that?" Shane questioned.
"It's called honor, I though you ninjas knew all about that," Kira commented.
"Fine, under the harbor bridge in one hour, the six of us no one else," Shane said as they streaked out of there.
"Ninja streak, oh how cool is that," Ethan said.
The Dino Rangers arrived at the bridge and waited for the Wind Rangers to arrive.
"What if they use special powers," Ethan said as they waited.
"Then we use special powers, they morph, we morph, sound good," Conner replied.
The three Winds Ninjas face off against the main three DinoThunder teens, in an unmorphed showdown, leading up to Dino Gem powers versus Ninja powers, Conner versus Shane, Ethan versus Dustin, Kira versus Tori. It's fairly enough matched a battle, and right when it's about to move up to morphed, Cam, Blake, and Hunter show up.
"No wait," Cam yelled as they arrived at the battle.
"Wait a minute, Blake, that's how I know you, you're a power ranger," Kira realized.
"Good cause we can use all the help we can get," Ethan said.
"We stick to our own kind," Hunter told them.
"We're not here to help you, Lothor has shown us the error of our ways," Blake added.
"Whoever doesn't follow us will be destroyed but first you have to take these, a little power boost from Lothor," Cam said as he handed them power disks for their morphers.
"Oh dude, what happened, how did we get here," Dustin said once the spell over them was broken.
"The last thing I remember…," Tori started to say but Blake interrupted her.
"Lothor's back," he said.
"WE know Sensei told us," Shane replied.
"That wasn't Sensei, it was Lothor," Hunter informed him.
"This is all highly amusing but will someone tell me what's going on here," Conner said.
"We almost fell into the Abyss of Evil but help arrived just in time, so we faked being under Lothor's control to get the Wind Rangers to take the ninja disks," Cam explained.
"It's a good thing you guys did show up," Conner said once they were all back in Tommy's lab.
"Good for you guys, I'm just playing you guys fight like Rock Stars," Shane replied.
"I for one will take that as a compliment," Kira told him.
"We're glad you guys are here but now it's time to get down to business," Tommy said.
"Tommy is right, we have a serious problem and it's going to take all of us to defeat him," Sensei agreed.
"We've got company," Hayley said as the monitors went off.
"It's time to show Mesogog and Lothor what teamwork is really about," Tommy said.
The combined forces of Mesogog and Lothor's troops are assembled, so the combined forces of the Ninja Storm and DinoThunder Rangers all come together to stop them. The eleven rangers pair off: The two Red rangers take on Lothor's newest Abyss-spawn Generals, utilizing their Cycles, weapons, and eventually, a double-dose of Battlizer power; Blue Wind and Yellow Dino double team on Elsa; Yellow Wind and Blue Dino, on their Cycles, take on a few previously-destroyed monsters; Black Dino, and the Navy and Crimson Thunders team-up against Zurgane; and Green Samurai and White Dino face the Wolfblades and the three teams of footsoldiers, using a boost of Super Dino and Super Samurai powers.
After the battle, the Ninja rangers discover that Lothor's extraction of their powers has brought an end to the Ninja Storm Rangers powers for good.
"I guess it's a good thing we've got you guys," Shane told them.
"You've done your part, now it's our turn to take over where you left off," Conner told him.
Everyone headed to the Reefside Mx Park to watch cheer on Blake and watch the rest of the competition.
"I'm a little surprised to see you here, I thought you hated racing," Tommy said to Kat who had walked over to tell everyone hello.
"I'm here with Will and it wasn't racing I hated, it was the worrying I did about you getting hurt or killed," Kat replied.
"Would you take a walk with me, we really need to talk," Tommy said.
"I can't I'm sorry, I should get back to Will," Kat said as she turned to walk away.
