This Chapter is the episode Shane's Karma, but I add my own twist to it. Enjoy and don't forget to review.
Chapter Fifteen
A boy was playing around in the forest when he notices a strange ball of light stuck to a web. Curiosity, he went over to check out. A voice echoes in his head telling to help. Without hesitation, the boy reaches out and helps free the strange ball of light from the web. Suddenly a black ball came toward the boy and the boy screamed.
Shane suddenly sat up in bed panicking "What the," he muttered in confused to why he has that weird dream.

On the Lothor Ship
Lothor was sitting in his chair feeling bored when Fake Marah and Kapri came in "So, do you two have any monster to attack the rangers?" he asked.
Kapri shook her head "So far nothing yet".
"Don't worry master, Fake Marah assured "Zurgane is working on a new zord, it should be ready soon".
"I hope you're right," Lothor replied "And it better be because I want to destroy the rangers, how long would it take".
"Not for long sir," Zurgane answered as he walked in.
"Good," Lothor replied.
{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{} {}{}{}{}
"Man I'm worked." Dustin grumbled.
"No lie." Shane agreed.
"Ten mile run, two fight simulations, and an obstacle course." Blake groaned.
"Don't forget two hours of hard meditation." Hunter added.
"Even you look tired." Dustin commented, patting Shane on the back; "Training is finally getting to ya."
"I'm not getting a lot of sleep; I keep getting this weird dream." Shane replied as he shook his head tired.
"You should pay attention to that. Sensei says dreams can tell you a lot about yourself." Tori said to him.
"Speaking of Dad where is he? And Marah? Cam wondered; "Dad? Marah?"
"Oh Cam," Dustin taps Cam's shoulder "I forgot to tell that Marah is at Storm Chargers helping Kelly since I have to do ninja training. So she's filling in for me".
"Why didn't you say anything earlier," Cam asked, slightly annoy.
Dustin scratches his head "It kinda slipped from my mind and I guess I don't remember until now," he answered.
"Hm I see," Cam says "Now I need to find my dad".
"Uh guys look," Tori say as she grabs a little piece of paper and read it "Rangers, I'm going to mediation retreat to reflect on and recharge my inner ninja. In my absent, enjoy a well deserve day off"
"Oh yeah!" The boys cheer and clasp hands.
"No Way!" Shane grabs the little piece of paper from Tori "Is that what it said?"
"Well I thinking, maybe a track and a movie or maybe a movie then a track," Dustin says.
Shane chuckles
Just then they notice Tori was looking a bit bummed. Blake frowned at her; "Hey Tor, what's the matter? Come on, don't tell me you can't handle a day off."
"No, a day off is great, especially tomorrow." Tori said forcing a smile; "I just thought Sensei would be around for- you know"
"What?" Hunter asked.
"Man, are we stupid?" Shane slapped himself "Because tomorrow, it is your birthday," he sings to Tori.
"Oh,' the boys say, realizing Tori's birthday was tomorrow.
Dustin wrapped his arm around Tori's shoulder "Well how about a beach party?" he suggests.
"Yeah!" the boys exclaimed.
"So what do you say Tor?" Blake asked.
"Alright sure, sound great to me," Tori agreed with a smile
"Alright, be at the beach first thing in the morning." Hunter says with a grin and then left out Ninja Ops.
"Okay, I'm going to head over to Storm Chargers to see Marah, I'll ask her if she wants to come to the beach with us tomorrow for Tori's birthday," Dustin replied before he left.
Shane, make sure you get some sleep," Tori points at Shane; "I think tomorrow might be something special after all," she replied and then left.
{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{} {}{}{}{}
Kelly was closing up as Marah walked out from the back "Marah, thanks for helping me since Dustin can't make it".
"It's no problem at all," Marah smiles "I'm glad I can help," she says.
"Hey guys," Dustin says as he walked in.
"Dustin, so I'm guessing you are finished with the problem you had to do?" Kelly asked.
"Yeah, I got it done;" Dustin answered "Do you need with anything?"
"No, I'm about to close up," Kelly replied "I'm glad that Marah help me with the place even though you couldn't make it".
Dustin walked over to Marah and hold her hand "Me too," he says with a smile.
Kelly notices it and smirks "Oh, are you two dating now?" she asked.
Marah was blushing and Dustin slightly blush on his face "Um we're just hanging out," he answered.
""Hanging out?" Kelly smiles "If you say so, but let me know what Cam says when you tell him that".
Dustin chuckles and points at Kelly "Ha, ha, very funny, Kel," he says.
Kelly turns and walked toward the door "Think you can lock the door on your way out?" she asked before she left.
"Sure," Dustin replied and Kelly left "Marah?" He turned and looked at her. "Do you want to go with me to the beach tomorrow for Tori's birthday?"
"Yes, I would love to go with you," Marah agreed "But let me make sure I get a gift for Tori".
"Okay," Dustin replied as he and Marah walked out the door, locking it "Let's take you back to Ninja Ops before Cam gets angry".
{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{} {}{}{}{}
"Help me, please," the voice pleaded.
The boy follows the voice to a ball of light that was stuck to a web.
"Please help me," the voice says again.
The boy grabs the ball of light from the web and release it when a black ball came rushing at him.
Shane sat up in bed, panicking and breathing heavily "Not again," he muttered.
{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{} {}{}{}{}
Cam drove Tori's van over to the beach and they hopped off seeing Hunter and Blake already there waiting for them.
"Hey, has anyone seen Shane? Tori asked.
"Yeah let's get this show on the road." Blake said.
"We can't leave without him, he's bringing the cake." Dustin called out as he and Marah walked over to Tori.
"There is he is," Marah points to Shane who was running toward holding a big box
"Here Tori! Happy Birthday!" Shane says breathing heavy.
"Hey, that doesn't look like beachwear bro." Hunter noted.
"Uh yeah, about that." Shane said nervously.
"Don't tell me you're bailing!" Tori frowned.
"I had that same dream again last night. Think it's trying to tell me something."
"Like how to ruin a friend's birthday?" Tori asked,
"It's just I have a weird sense something isn't right." Shane explained; "I gotta go check out the woods."
Cam heard their conversation; "Shane, I'm the first person to say duty before pleasure. But I left Cyber Cam online at Ninja Ops. If anything weird shows up he'll let us know."
"Yeah." Tori agreed.
"Maybe, it would help Shane feel better if he check it out himself," Marah says "That way he will come back and be..."
"Happy enjoyable Shane," Dustin replied with a smile.
"I guess you guys are right," Tori says "Just be careful Shane".
"I'll catch up okay?" Shane said as he turns away; "I promise."
Dustin threw something at the back of Tori's head making her snap her head around and chase after them.
{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{} {}{}{}{}
Shane walked into the woods alone "What was I thinking?" he says out loud "Stupid dream"
Thinking that he was an idiot for walking off on Tori's birthday, he decides to go back to the party when suddenly a ball of white light flew past him, followed by a ball of black energy. He kicked the black ball away, revealing an alien
"Woah, now there's a face only a mother could love," he remarked.
"I could say the same about you, now step aside." Vexacus growled.
"Lothor's goons don't scare me." Shane grinned cockily, popping his collars.
"I am Vexacus, and I work for no one." Vexacus growled; "Now give me the Karminion."
"Karminion what?" Shane asked, confused at what Vexacus was asking for.
"Have it your way." Vexacus grumbled, and they got into battle.
"Plan B." Shane said and then morphed "Ninja Storm! Ranger Form! HA!"
Vexacus blasted his energy hard at Shane who flew backward, landed on the ground and demorph in pain.
"Foolish Earthling, where is the Karminion?" Vexacus growled as he approaches to Shane.
The bright light came near a tree transforming into a girl.
Shane tries to get up, but he was in pain and has some difficulties getting up
"Tell me!" Vexacus demanded.
Suddenly a bright light came and swallowed Shane, leaving Vexacus confused and alone.
Shane found himself in a clearing away from Vexacus; "What's going on," he asked in confused as he looked around.
A random tan girl came from behind; "Hey, are you okay?"
"I thought I was out here alone." Shane told her, surprised to see her.
"Guess not." the girl smiled.
Shane smiles at the girl respond.

At the Beach
"Do you think we did the right thing?" Tori wondered; "Maybe we should have gone with Shane".
"What? Because Shane had a nightmare?" Hunter asked.
"I don't know, maybe she's right." Dustin shrugged; "Shane did seem pretty tweaked"
"Do you think we should check on him?" Marah asked "If I have my power, I can teleport, but I don't," she looked down sadly and Dustin hugs her, comforting her.
"Oh come on you guys, we're here now! It's a party, right?" Blake shouted.
"Last one in the water is a little girl." Hunter said, receiving a death glare from Tori.
Dustin and Marah laughs
"You're so going to pay for that," Tori glared.
"Ooh," Dustin says with a chuckle.
"NO!" Hunter begged, but Tori wouldn't have it, so Hunter ran to hide with Tori on his tail.
{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{} {}{}{}{}
"We need to get you home." Shane told the girl beside him as they walked through the woods "It's not safe out here for you."
"How do you even know I live this way?" the girl asked, looking at him.
"Well maybe you can help me out then." Shane says.
"Alright, up there." the girl said, pointing to the sky.
"Right, so you're some alien life form or something. Is that what you're telling me?" Shane rolled his eyes. The girl walked away laughing; "Hey wait, you're serious."
"Hey, you asked." the girl smirked.
"Do you have a name?" Shane asked.
"Skyla," she replied; "Call me Skyla."
"I'm..." Shane begins to say, but Skyla cut him off.
"Shane right?"
"Yeah, that's my name," He looked at her in confused "How do you know?"
"Let just says that we had met before," she told her.
Shane stopped walked "How come I don't remember seeing you," he says, having this weird feeling that he shouldn't trust her.
Skyla stopped and turns around, noticing saw his expression "Don't worry Shane, I'm not a bad person, but I am an old friend that's here to help you".
"How can I be sure that I can trust you?" he asked.
"Just follow me and you will see," she replied before she continues walking.
{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{} {}{}{}{}
"OH, I'm hungry, did you bring snacks?" Choobo groaned.
"I don't eat when I'm on a mission." Zurgane growled.
"That's not good! Your body is a machine! It needs fuel, just like a spaceship you know." Choobo frowned. He started chasing after a frog and bumped his head on something; "Ow, I hit my head!"
"On what?" Zurgane demanded.
"On... nothing." Choobo said as he looked around. They stood staring at a spaceship; "Woah, what kind of ship is that?"
"It belongs to a ruthless bounty hunter named Vexacus." Zurgane told the Green Alien; "He is the sworn enemy of Lothor. We must inform our master at once! Stand back, we don't want Vexacus to know we were here."
"Something you guys wanna share with the rest of the class?" Cyber Cam asked all of sudden, startling them.
"An enemy spaceship." Choobo began.
"Quiet!" Zurgane snapped; "Out of our way, ranger!"
"You really don't wanna go there do you?" Cyber Cam grimaced.
"I will not bother myself with you! Kelzaks!"
Cyber Cam fought off the Kelzaks as Choobo and Zurgane fled. He waved to the Kelzaks and teleported to Ninja Ops.
"I guess that qualifies as something weird." he said, once he's back at Ninja Ops; "Hey party animals, I think we've got a problem. We got an alien visitor in the forest, and here's news worthy item, he's not working for Lothor."
"Can you reach Shane?" Cam asked.
"No can do. Wherever that spaceship is it's interfering with Shane's morpher," Cyber Cam replied.
"Keep looking for Shane, I'm on my way there!" Cam nodded.
"You're going back?" Tori asked sadly.
"Only until I figure out what's going on. With dad outta town I just feel better checking things out myself." Cam explained.
"We're coming with you." Hunter announced.
"No stay. There's nothing we can do until we know what we're dealing with." Cam instructed them.
"Well maybe it's a good alien." Dustin smirked; "I mean no one ever considers that possibility."
"Hey, don't let this get you down okay?" Blake said, stuffing a ducky floaty on her head; "Come on! We even brought gifts for you!"
"You're right, I guess the day's not completely ruined." Tori sighed.
Dustin suddenly has an idea "Hey, Blake, come here for a sec," he says.
Blake came over and Dustin whisper in his ear while the others look with confusion expression. A smile appears on Blake's face.
"I like it," Blake says a moment later after he heard what Dustin says. He then went over to Hunter and whisper in Hunter's ear.
"Like what," Tori asked as she looked at Dustin.
Before she can get her answers, Blake came from behind hugging her and lifting her into the air; "C'mon you guys! Let make this party more fun!"
"Wait, what?" Torii panicked; "Blake, no! Put me down! Marah, HELP!"
Marah laughs and was about to help Tori when Dustin grabs her from behind and lifted her into the air too; "No, No, Dustin! Stop, put me down!" she yelled.
"Blake, put me down." Tori demanded as she struggling to get out of Blake's grip
"Ok, if you say so." Blake smirks. He tossed her into the water. Dustin was about to toss Marah in the water, but she outsmart him and took him in the water with her also.
Marah and Dustin pop out the water, splashing at each other.
"Hey, that was not cool," he says.
"You started it first," Marah replied with a smile.
Tori pop her head out from the water and glares at Blake "I'm going to get you for this," she says as she got out of the water. She then chases Blake around while Hunter stands there and watching them with a smile on his face.
{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{} {}{}{}{}
"Wait up!" Shane called; "Would you slow down?"
"Try and keep up." Skyla laughed "Don't be such a whiner."
"A whiner? Is that what you just called me?" Shane chuckled. They walked into a place Shane saw in his dreams; "Hey I know this forest."
"You do, look" Skyla nodded pointing to a fireplace.
"This was in my dream." Shane sighed; "I mean what am I'm doing here?"
"Well let's just say I owe you one." Skyla smiled; "And this is where I pay you back."
"Pay back? For what?" Shane asked in confused.
"Payback, I like the sound of that." Vexacus growled, interrupting Shane and Skyla conversation.
"What do you want here?" Shane asked.
"I already told you, the Karminion." Vexacus said, pointing to Skyla.
"You're way out of your league Vexacus." Skyla grumbled; "Why don't you, just turn around, and go swim back under whatever rock you came out from."
He basted at them but they disappeared; "You cannot run forever!"
"Woah! Hey that is one cool trick!" Shane chuckled. He realized something; "You're the one who helped me the first time I ran into Mr. Congeniality."
"Yeah, you can thank me later, but right now we gotta get moving. I don't have much time." Skyla frowned.
"Wait, I don't even know who you are yet." Shane said.
"Look, we can keep going over this if you want but it's not going to do us any good." Skyla retorted.
"Guess not." Shane sighed.
"Hey, you don't seem so freaked out! It's not like this is the first time you've seen an alien being." Skyla laughed.
"Yeah but it's the first time I've seen one that looks like... you." he shrugged and continues to walked.
{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{} {}{}{}{}
Blake, Tori, Dustin, Marah, and Hunter were having a blast. Now they are heading back all soak and wet to find something to eat when they heard a beep noise.
They looked around making sure no one was in sight before Hunter spoke "What it is Cam?"
"We've got a problem. As long as that ship remains cloaked, I have no way to track it."
"Any word from Shane yet?" Hunter asked.
"His frequency is still jammed. He must be close to the source of the disturbance."Cam told them.
"Let us know if anything changes." Hunter replied.
"Birthday or not I think we'd better get back." Tori grimaced.
"Yeah, let's get out of here before some Kelzaks show up huh?" Dustin pondered.
All of a sudden, Fake Marah appears with Kalzaks "Where are you rangers going in a hurry? The party is just getting started," she smirked.
"You had to say it didn't ya?" Blake snapped, looking at Dustin.
"Great way to ruin my day," Tori scowled
Dustin stood in front of Marah who was gripping on his arm "This is not what I have in mind for a birthday party".
"Hey! If an alien freak throws a party, and nobody shows up is it still a party?" Blake asked.
"Well, then" Hunter got into his fighting mode "Let's show these freak how to party".
Fake Marah smirks and yelled "Attack!"
The Kalzaks lunges at the rangers and Marah.
