Chapter Five

At Ninja Ops

Cam was at the computer doing research when the other four come in slowly. "Hey Cam," Blake says his usual smile on his face.

"Hey guys," Cam replied, still looking at the screen.

"What are you doing Cam?" Tori asked.

"Just research and also to see if Luthor sent his goons down to attack the city," Cam replied.

Tori looked around "Hey Cam, did Dustin come in yet?" she asked.

Cam turns around "No he hasn't, matter of fact I didn't see him came in".

Tori blink her eyes "Ok that weird".

"I saw him leave in a hurry when I stopped by at the Storm Charger today," Shane says.

"Blake and I saw Dustin at the race track. He left in a hurry saying that he has to do something for his mother," Hunter told them,

"Hm," Cam turns around facing the screen "Let me give him a call".

"Call me about what?" Dustin asked as he came in behind Shane.

Shane turns around "Oh Hey Dustin. Why did you left in a hurry when I dropped by the Storm Chargers to see you?" he asked.

"Oh," he pats Shane's back "Sorry about that dude, I promise my mom that I would help rearrange the furniture," he explained.

"It's okay dude, I understand," Shane said as he clasps hands with Dustin.

"So what are we doing," Dustin asked.

"Ninja training," Blake simply replied.

"I hope it's not doing running lap because I was exhausted from it," said Dustin who doesn't like doing running lap.

"Dude, who doesn't," Hunter remarked.

Blake shakes his head and chuckles.

Tori touches Dustin's shoulder "I'm sure Sensei will have something else for us to do beside that," she told him.

"Yeah, it probably help Hunter take his mind off a girl," Blake said and receives a glare from Hunter.

"What girl?" Shane asked, curious to know.

Dustin went over to Hunter and pats him on the chest "Aw dude, you have a crush on a girl," he said with a chuckles.

"So who's the lucky girl?" Tori asked.

Hunter shrugs "I don't know, he replied "And no I don't have a crush on a girl".

"So how did you meet her?" Shane asked.

"Well she was being chase by three men so I step in and help her," Hunter replied.

"You're a hero," Tori commented.

Dustin suddenly realizes something "Did this happened at the race track?" he asked.

Hunter nodded "Yeah".

"Can it be that Hunter is talking about Kapri?" Dustin wondered.

"Rangers," Sensei spokes interrupting Dustin's thoughts.

Dustin went over with the others to see Sensei.

"Today, I'm going to give everyone a break and we will have the training tomorrow," Sensei told them.

"Thanks Sensei," Shane says.

"Now go home, we called if anything comes up," Sensei replied.

Shane, Blake, Tori, and Hunter bow down to Sensei and then left. Sensei notices Dustin haven't left and was standing there in a deep thoughts.

Cam got up and looked at the Dustin. He folds his arms and clears his throat.

Dustin snaps out of his thoughts and looked at Cam.

"Is something bothering you?" Cam asked.

"Um..." Dustin hesitates whether to tell Cam.

"Dustin, is there something you want to talk to me about?" Cam asked.

Dustin sighs and simply nodded "Actually I need your help".

Cam walked over to Dustin "Is it about Marah?" he asked.

Dustin looked at Cam with a surprise expression "Wait, how you knew what I was planning to tell you?" he asked.

Cyber Cam appears next to Cam "Dude, you should me more alert to your surrounding".

"You had Cyber Cam follows me," Dustin asked, even though he knew the answer.

"Yes, you weren't yourself. Yesterday, I saw you outside Ninja Ops when I need to made a quick errand. You were reading a note from Kapri so I decide to let Cyber Cam follows you in case you walked into a trap," Cam explained.

Dustin smiles "Thanks Cam, you know I should be upset, but I'm not at all" he replied "I guess Sensei knows too, huh?"

Cam nodded

"So how about we talk about you wanting to get on Luthor's ship to save Marah," Sensei suggests.

"I think I know a way for you to get on Luthor's ship and rescue Marah safety without hurting Shane, Hunter, Blake, and Tori," Cam told Dustin.

"Really?" Dustin asked; relieve to know there was another way to save Marah without betraying his friends to get on Luthor's ship.

"Yeah, I just need the coordinates to Luthor's ship. Once I have it, I can teleport you there and then back here safe," Cam replied.

Dustin pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket "I have it right here, Kapri wrote it down. It's the coordinates where Marah is at," he said, showing the piece of paper to Cam.

***************************Flashback*************************************

"Is to what Kapri," Dustin grabs her arms "Please tell me".

Kapri sighs and looked at Dustin knowing that it would be hard for Dustin if he knows "You would have to be on Luthor's side in order to get on the ship," she told him.

"Are you saying that I have to betray my friends and join your Uncle?"Dustin asked, not liking the idea of betraying his friends and joining Luthor.

Kapri shook her head "No, I'm not asking you to join my uncle. I'm just saying that you need to pretend that you are on his side".

"I don't know," said Dustin who was unsure "Maybe there another way that I can get on the ship without betraying my friends".

"What do you have in mind?" Kapri asked.

Dustin pulled out a piece of paper and a pen "Write down the coordinate where Marah is".

Kapri took the pen from Dustin and wrote the location where Marah is being held down on the piece of paper.

"Mind telling me what your idea is," Kapri asked.

"I don't know yet, but I know a person that can help me saved Marah. Just trust me on this, Kapri," Dustin told her.

Kapri nodded "Okay, just clear on one thing when you do get on the ship. I'm going to sent the kalzaks to attack you so my uncle won't be suspicious of me".

"Got it," Dustin replied as he got up.

Kapri got up "Well, gotta go," she walked away from Dustin, then stops and raises her hand up "Good luck, hope your plan work".

"Thanks," Dustin replied.

Kapri vanishes away,

***************************Flashback*************************************

Cam tool the piece of paper and stares at it "This should work," he told Dustin.

"So what should I do to help?" Dustin asked.

"Go home and come back tomorrow. I will teleport you to Luthor's ship to save Marah once I have everything ready tomorrow," Cam replied.

Dustin nodded and left
