Chapter Eighteen

"Quite, here it comes!" Shane grinned a bit.

Shane, Skyla, Tori, and Dustin were sitting in the lounge area of Storm Chargers watching Totally Talented on the TV. Dustin and Shane humming the theme song of the show as it came on, and Tori just rolled her eye and laughed a little. As the show started, Kelly walked over and switched the TV off.

"Hey what was that for?" Dustin asked as he and Shane looked up at Kelly in shock.

"Yeah, we were watching that." Tori stated.

"You're kidding me," Kelly folds her arms, lifting one of her eyebrows "You don't actually watch that, do you?" she asked and the three of them looked down.

"This is an action sports shop. There will be no trash TV viewing here. Sorry." She stated walking off.

Blake and Hunter walked over and noticed the TV was off. "Where's Stu?" Blake questioned.

"Denied." Shane frowned.

"I was getting sick of watching it anyway." Hunter shrugged.

"Dude, you did not just bag on Totally Talented." Dustin told Hunter.

"I said I was sick of watching it, not being on it." Hunter grinned as he high-fived Blake.

"They're looking for future stars. That's us. We're trying out next week," Blake told them.

"Really? What do you guys do?" Dustin asked with a smirk on his face.

Blake folds his arms "Hey we do plenty."

"You know, Shane, you have a great voice. You should try out." Tori suggested.

Skyla smiles and looked at Shane "I didn't know you can sing," she says.

Shane wrapped his arms around her shoulder "There are things you don't know about me," he smirked "What about you, Tori? You're a fierce dancer." He pointed out.

"And me, sax master extraordinary." Dustin laughed.

"Whoa, hold up a sec." Blake interrupted. "You guys are cutting into our action here."

Shane chuckles and pats Blake's shoulder. "I thought you guys were all about competition."

"Anyway, I should go practice. There's a jazz class at 7." Tori remembered.

"See ya guys and good luck," Dustin says as he got up from the couch.

Shane, Skyla, Tori, Dustin got up and left while Hunter and Blake sat on the couch and sighed a bit.

At Ninja Ops, Marah was sitting in the chair in front of the computer screen watching it with Sensei.

"Cam, did you find what you are looking for," she asked.

"No," Cam's voice replied "Still looking".

At the museum, Cam went into a room that the man of museum told him where it was at. Inside the room was with shelves full of all sorts of asian antiques and artifacts. He was walking down one of the aisles looking for the artifact

"I know it's around here somewhere." He muttered as he looked up and down the shelves.

"Cam," Marah's voice "Look on the other side of the shelves," she suggested.

"Let me see," he went over to the other side of the shelves "Uh ah here it is," He grabs the wooden crate box off from the shelf and carried it over to a table.

"I'm heading back to Ninja Ops," he says into his communicator.

"Okay," Marah replied.

Cam was walking out from the room when the cloaked Motodrone walked out of nowhere and right in front of him. He was taken back a bit.

"Motodrone?" Marah was shock to see Motodrone again "But that can't be!"

"Perry? Is that..." Cam started to ask.

"I have no use for Perry. I am my own being, brought to life by the great and powerful Lothor." Motodrone replied.

"Well anyway that is very nice for you to be brought back but I have to go." Cam turned around holding the wooden crate box.

"Not before you hand that over." Motodrone referred to the crate.

"If you want it, come and get it," Cam turned back to the monster.

Motodrone grabbed his cloak and pulled it off. Cam touch his left shoulder of his clothes and yanks it off as well revealing his ninja uniformand stood in a fighting stance. Then he charges at Motodrone.

Motodrone tries to attack Cam, but Cam blocked the attack. He duck under Motodrone and went behind him. Then he kicks his foot into Motodrone's torso that made him stepped back a bit.

Motodrone growls and was about to attacks Cam when suddenly Cam disappears along with the wooden crate box.

Motodrone growled, letting out a blast of energy at the statue and suddenly it came to life.

Cam appears back in Ninja Ops in front of Marah. He smiles "Thanks Marah," he says.

"I guess you're not the only one good with computer," She replied.

"I must have underestimated you," Cam placed the wooden crate box on the table.

"I'm glad you made it back safe son," Sensei says, relieves to see Cam.

Suddenly the wind rangers and Skyla came in noisily practicing their so call talents for the Totally Talented contest. Shane was singing, Tori were dancing and Dustin was playing his saxophone.

Cam and Marah looked at each other and then at the wind rangers wondering what's going.

Cam looked down at his dad who was clueless.

"Hey Cam. Hey Marah," Tori greets them with a smile.

"Hey it's the kids from fame. Please tell me this isn't part of the ninja training," Cam says with a sighs.

"What's going on here?" Marah asked out loud, getting the Wind Rangers attention.

"They are practicing for a show," Skyla replied.

"We going to be on Totally Talented." said Dustin.

"Don't you have to have...forget it." Cam stopped midway.

"Ah, someone green with envy." Shane commented with smirks.

"No just green. Look guys you aren't the only ones with hidden talent."

"Cool, so what do you do?" asked Tori.

"If I showed you, it wouldn't be hidden."

The three wind rangers turned to Marah and Shane and Dustin placed their arms around her shoulders.

"Marah you know Cam better than anyone else, so what is his hidden talents?" the they asked her..

"Um well..." Marah begins to say and she looked at Cam who gave her a "Don't say anything" look.

"Sorry but I don't know what Cam hidden talent is either," she told them.

Cam smirks and turned back to his father "Dad, I got it."

"Got what?" Shane asked.

"I don't know," Cam said, half laughing as he looked at the box. "Can we open it?"

"Only in case of emergency," Sensei said. "Whatever is in that container is far too powerful to be used otherwise."

"Maybe Sensei is right, Cam," Shane says feeling comfortable and unsure about opening the box "You should only open when it's an emergency".

Everyone looked at Shane with a smirk on their face.

"What?" Shane asked in confused.

At the Storm Chargers

Dustin was sitting in the lounge by himself cleaning and polishing his saxophone while the news was on about the sighting of strange wolf creatures.

"A strange wolf like creatures has been seen in the forest, outside Blue Bay Harbor. Until the authorities can be sure that the area is safe, citizens are advised to stay close to the city." announced the newswoman.

Dustin was busy watching the news that he didn't notices Tori walked into the lounge.

"Did they say anything about..." Tori asked, but stopped when she saw the news on TV.

"Big wolf looking things. Weird huh? Wonder what will happen." Dustin says with curiosity.

"You think maybe the power rangers should check it out." Tori asked as she begins to leave.

"Let's go tell them," Dustin replied, following Tori out the door of Storm Chargers.

{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}

Mobile Command Centre was driving through the forest. Inside Cam was at the computer with the wind rangers, Skyla, and Marah surrounding him.

"Any sign of them Cam?" asked Shane.

"Well I don't see anything but doesn't mean there's nothing out there." replied Cam as the computer was homing on where the wolves were.

"Well I vote that we do a little bit of patrolling." Shane suggested.

"Mmm hmm." Dustin agreed.

"Where are the thunders?" Cam asked, noticing Hunter and Blake was absent from the group.

"Totally secret talent show practice." answered Tori with a smirk on her face.

"Not them too." Cam sighs, shaking his head.

Then suddenly the computer beeped and picked up something and the screen zoomed in to a part of the forest.

"Wait! I'm picking something up, there!." Cam stated.

The truck stopped

"Marah, stay here and keep watching from the computer for anything, and see if you can contact Hunter and Blake for me," Cam told her.

"Okay," Marah nodded "Be careful".

Everyone nodded and went outside to find the roaming wolf creatures that were suppose to be near. The five of them started to walk through the forest and padding footsteps could be heard behind them.

"Okay, they're right behind us." whispered Shane and everyone stopped in their tracks.

"Are you sure about that?" Dustin asked.

The wolves came out right into the opening growling at the ninjas and all of them turned around.

Tori looked at Dustin "You were saying," she chuckles.

"Guess its time for some obedience training." Shane asked.

"Lead the way." Tori replied.

"Ready?" Shane asked.

Cam, Dustin, and Tori nodded.

"Ninja storm, Samurai storm, ranger form!" they called out and morphed.

The rangers pulled out their swords and both sides charged at each other. The rangers started to attack the wolves but they were stronger than they thought and the wolves dodged all their attacks. Skyla managed to kicks one of the wolves sending it flying and smack against a tree. Then the wolves used their speed and dashed all over the place in blurs and hit the rangers and Skyla as they went pass them. The wolves then grouped up again and started to advance on them while the rangers and Skyla moved back not knowing what to do.

"Alright, I'm taking suggestions." Shane asked.

"A rolled up newspaper?" Dustin suggests.

"How about one of those electric collars." Tori added.

"A chain to tie them all up," Skyla says.

Suddenly an explosion went in front of the rangers causing them to shield their faces.

"Huh?" said Tori

"What the?" Dustin replied in confused.

"What's going on?" Shane asked.

As the smoke clears away, the wolves were getting off the ground looking around confused.

A person wearing a black cloak appears behind the wolves.

Hunter and Blake arrived in time and rush over to the rangers.

"Please tell me, you guys did that?" Tori asked.

"No, it wasn't us," Hunter replied.

"It was her," Shane says all of a sudden and everyone looked at him, He points his finger at the person wearing the black cloak.

"It's you again!" he replied.
