Chapter Twenty
"That's one ugly mutt." Tori commented when she saw the wolf monster grow big on the computer screen at Ninja Ops.
"Man," Shane puts one of his hands behind his head "Just when we thought we defeated that ugly mutts, it came back into a huge ugly monster!"
"Man, the leash laws in this town need some serious work." Hunter says as he watches the computer screen.
"And more animal patrol officers," Blake added.
"You guys better get out there before it decides to make the federal building into a chew toy, Cam says as he types on the keyboard.
"Or his food," Dustin joked and everyone looked at him "Just kidding"
Cam shook his head. Then he turned and looked at Skyla "Skyla, I think you should stay here," he suggests.
Skyla sighs and nod "Okay, be careful," she says to the other especially Shane who nods.
Dustin, Tori, Blake, and Hunter follow Shane and stand in the middle of the room
"Dustin?"
Dustin turned around and saw Marah walked up to him "Don't worry I'll be fine," he assured her, giving her a smile.
"Ready?" Shane asked.
Tori, Dustin, Hunter, and Blake nod.
"Ninja storm, Thunder storm, ranger form! Ha!"
The rangers arrived with their zords, the Storm and Thunder megazords.
"Let's pound this hound." Shane said before he presses some buttons on his control panel.
The others nodded
The megazords and the Wolf Blade started to advance on each other at the same time. The Thunder megazord punched the Wolf Blade but it blocked it and went pass to attack the Storm megazord. The Wolf Blade hit the Storm megazord and turned around just in time to block the Thunder megazord's punch. The Wolf Blade then uses his claw to attack the Thunder megazord when The Storm megazord manage to grab hold of the Wolf Blade from behind. It didn't last long because the Wolf Blade shoves the Storm Megazord away and attack back
Then the Wolf Blade let out an electrical energy, blasting at the two megazords and damaging it.
"Hunter! Minizord formation," Shane shouted.
"Good call Shane!"
"Power disks, locked and dropped," They both shouted at the same time.
Once the disks were in the two golden power spheres that contain the Minizord came out
"Rangers forming the Thunderstorm Megazord, wind power, thunder power, unite!" the Minizord said.
Immediately the two megazords quickly combined and formed into the Thunderstorm Megazord and when the Wolf Blade saw this it just growled.
"That's right flea bag. Keep yapping, we got something for you. Lion Laser attack!" Shane shouted.
Immediately with a pull of a cord from the megazord's chest, it released its ultimate attack which hit the Wolf Blade and exploded.
"Yeah!" Shane exclaimed.
"Yes!" Skyla and Marah cheer.
"They did it!" Cam exclaimed.
All of sudden where the flames and smoke was, the Wolf Blade appears again standing with no scratch on it
"You gotta be kidding!" Shane shouted.
"What!" Cam, Marah, and Skyla eyes widen in shock.
"No!" Hunter exclaimed.
"Impossible!" Tori stated.
"No way!" Blake shouted.
"I don't believe this!" Dustin exclaimed "How can it be!"
The Wolf Blade then launched itself into the air, jumping at them and tackled down on the Thunderstorm Megazord.
"Cam, do something!" Marah looked at her cousin with a worried expression.
"Shane," Skyla muttered as she was watching the computer screen.
"I'm going to get them out of there," Cam says before he presses a red button and the rangers appear in the ninja ops right behind him, Marah, and Skyla
"Dustin!" Marah rushes over him as he demorphs and hugs him
He hugs her back and smiles "I'm okay, Marah," he replied, noticing how worried she was.
Shane walked over to Skyla "Are you alright?"
Skyla nods "I was worried about you when I saw what happened on the computer screen," she told him.
He slightly smiles and hug her "I know".
Later On
While Cam was checking over the damage of their zords, the rangers took up refuge on the small table in Ninja Ops.
"Man, I can't believe we got our butts kick out there!" Dustin rubs his arms as he looked at the others.
Marah was standing next to Dustin while Skyla was by Shane's side.
"Okay, listen up everybody," Cam announced as he returned back from checking "the zords should be back online by tomorrow at the latest. But, we're going to need reinforcements"
Shane looked around at his friends "Well, I'm open to any suggestions on how to deal with these freaks"
"I have one," Cam stated, turning to his father "Dad, I'm pretty sure this is a clear case of emergency"
"Say no more, Cam" Sensei answered "You have my permission"
Blake grinned and clapped his hands "Yes! We're finally going to see what's in the box"
The wall behind Cam slid upwards. He went over and pulled out the box he had retrieved from the museum.
"Anyone want to take bets?" Hunter asked
Shane smirked "Oh, it's got to be like some really old sword..." he suggested
"Or a cool fighting staff" Dustin added
Cam placed the box on the table as the rangers gathered around. Then he proceeded to open it, revealing another ancient scroll inside. The rangers sighed.
"Great," Tori said with fake enthusiasm "just what we need. Another ancient scroll"
Cam removed the scroll from its confinements and started to read through it
"Uh Cam?" Shane begins "I just wanted to ask -"
"Shh!"
"Okay..." he looked back at his friends "maybe we'll just leave you alone"
Blake smirks "So what do we do while we wait for the dog pound?" he questioned
"Be strong," Sensei answered "and be alert!"
The rangers nodded
"Let's go dude," Hunter said, patting his brother on the back. "We also...got something to do" he added as the wind rangers turned to him and Blake.
"Call if you need anything," Blake shouted over his shoulder as he and Hunter disappeared from Ninja Ops.
The wind rangers frowned "That was really weird..." they murmured, looking at each other wondering where the thunder rangers left to.
Tori looked at Shane and Dustin "Should we... follow them?"
"Don't ask me," Dustin back away holding his hand up "I'm kinda busy with helping Kelly".
Shane looked at Skyla and Tori "Let's go!" He grabs Skyla and Tori hands and pulled them along with him, following the brothers.
Dustin folds his arms as Cam walked up next to Marah and him "You think those three will get caught spying?" he questioned.
"Apparently yes," Cam answered with a smile on his face.
"Man! I wish I can see the looks on their face when they get busted!" Dustin laughs.
Marah and Cam shake their heads laughing at Dustin's comment.
"I should head over to Storm Chargers, Marah do you want to come with me?"
Marah looked at her cousin "Can I?'
"Sure why not"
"Thanks Cam," she hugs her cousin with a smile on her face.
"Dustin, take care of Marah".
"Don't worry Cam, I will protect her"
Cam nods and Marah and Dustin left out of Ninja Ops holding hands.

Outside Storm Chargers, Kelly was taking out the trash when she spots someone was hiding behind the dumpster. Curiosity, she walked over and saw a person dressed in the black cloak unconscious. "Are you okay?" she kneels in front of the person dressed in the black cloak.
There was no response for the black cloak so Kelly went over and tries to lift the person dressed in the black cloak up.
"Kelly!" Dustin's voice shouted.
"Back here!" she hollered.
Moment later, Dustin came out from the back door with Marah right behind him.
"Kelly, what are you doing outside in the back?"
"How about giving me a hand and ask question later," she suggests.
"Sure," He went over and helps Kelly when his eyes widen "Hey, that's the person dressed in the black cloak. She was the one who saved Marah's life!" he exclaimed.
Marah immediately went over to Dustin side after she heard what he said "What happened to her?"
"I don't know, I found her unconscious out here," Kelly answered as she and Dustin got the unconscious person dressed in the black cloak on her feet "We need to take her inside in the room upstairs".
"Kelly, how come you never told me there's a room upstairs in Storm Chargers?" Dustin asked.
Kelly sighs "Let's take her inside first and I will answer your question".
Dustin nods "Here, let me carry her," He put one of his hands behind the unconscious person dressed in the black cloak's back and his other hand under the person dressed in the black cloak's legs. Then he lifts her up, carrying her bridal style back into Storm Chargers.
In Storm Chargers, upstairs in a room, Dustin lays the person dressed in the black cloak gently down on the bed. Then Marah went over and touches the person dressed in the black cloak's hand "She's shivering," she looked up at Dustin.
"I'll go get my spare clothes that I have," Kelly said before she left.
Dustin and Marah looked at each other wondering the something. They really want to know who was the person dressed in the black cloak.
"We should take this dirty cloak off," Marah speak first before Dustin could "To check her injuries".
"I'll help you, Marah," he offered.
Marah's hand was on the hood of the black cloak. She was hesitating whether she should remove it when Dustin touches her hand giving her an "it's ok" look. Then she pulled the hood of the black cloak off and was surprise to see the person face "Kapri?"
"I don't believe this!" Dustin exclaimed, can't believe what he was seeing.
Marah finish removing the black cloak off of Kapri's body and saw the wound on Kapri's arm that was swollen and bleeding. Then there was another wound on her stomach that was bleeding "She must have been in a battle and was injured badly".
"I recognize that wound on her arm," Dustin stares at the wound on Kapri's arm "That imposter Marah gave her that".
"Hunter gave her that wound first," Marah added and Dustin looked at her surprised and shock "How did you know that, Marah?"
"I can read her thoughts".
"But I thought all your powers were transferred to the imposter of you".
"Yes, all my powers are gone. This is only a gift I had since I was little. I can read mind from the people that I have bond with and it only when I come in contact with their skin like a hand or arm".
"Do you think you could read my mind?"
"Uh," Marah looked away "I'm not sure I can your mind".
"Why don't you give a try," he suggests, extending his hand out toward her.
Marah was about to touch Dustin's hand when his morpher beep
"What is it, Cam?"
"Dustin you need to come to Ninja Ops right away!" Cam responded.
"Okay, I'll be right there," Dustin got up and looked at Marah "Are you coming, Marah?"
Marah shook her head "No, I'm going to stay right here with her if that okay with you".
"That's fine with me," He went over and kissed her on the cheek "I'll come back here soon," he told her before he left.
Kelly came in just as Dustin was leaving "I found some clothes that would fit her, Marah," She looked at Kapri lying in bed "Wait isn't that Kaitlyn?"
Marah looked at Kelly and sighs.
{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}
"I feel kind of guilty," Tori said as she pressed her back against the wall "spying on them like this"
Hunter and Blake were around the corner; heading up a flight of stairs and disappearing into the door at the top. Tori glances around the corner and saw them disappear inside; she waved to Shane to follow them.
"Hey," Shane said, shrugging his shoulders "All's fair in love and show business!" he smiled "I've got to find out what they're doing for Totally Talented! Come on!" and he started towards the steps.
"You guys lost?" a voice asked behind them, stopped them in their tracks.
All three turned around and saw Blake and Hunter standing there folding their arms. He and Hunter had ninja streaked behind the two wind rangers and Skyla, scaring them senseless.
Shane looked mildly embarrassed "Hey!" he said, with a fake smile, before realizing he had been caught "I hate when you guys do that!"
"You guys need something?" Hunter smirked.
"Uh." Skyla looked at Shane who was trying to come up with an explanation.
"Uh," Tori started "Well, we were just in the...uh...neighborhood..."
"Tori, you're such a bad liar!" Blake smiles "Don't even go there!"
Suddenly Shane's morpher beeped "Thank god for the beeping sound," Shane muttered "Go for Shane," he said into it
"Shane, you and the other rangers must come to Ninja Ops right away!" Cam responded
Shane nodded "On our way" he said, and the four rangers with Skyla took off.
{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}
Marah and Kelly have finished changing the clothes for Kapri and took care of Kapri's injury.
Now Marah was covering Kapri with the blanket "Kelly, do you know if she's going to be fine?"
"She's going to be fine, Marah. I already gave her some pills so all she need is some rest. She can stay here".
"Thanks Kelly"
"It's no problem at all," Kelly smiles "I just can't believe you and Kaitlyn are related".
"Yeah, sorry I didn't tell you about it".
"It's ok, don't worry about it".
{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}
"Let me get this straight. You want what?" Tori asked as Cam held his hand out.
"Your power disks," Cam answered.
"I know I'm the slow one, but doesn't that mean we'll have no powers?" Dustin asked.
"Yes, it's only temporary until I return"
"I don't think this is such a great idea," Blake said unsure
Yeah, I kind of like knowing I can kick space ninja butts if I have to." Hunter added.
"I understand your hesitation rangers but it is the only way." Sensei spokes as he rolled up to the rangers on this podium.
"How is giving up our power disks, help us defeat Shimazu?" Shane asked, still debating whether he should give his power disk.
"To defeat his Wolf Blades we must open the portal to the ancient world, your six power disks are the only entity powerful enough to do that," Cam explained "And according to the scroll we need that much power in order to obtain the power that is kept there."
All of sudden, Cyber Cam appears from behind Cam holding the scroll. He was standing next to Cam.
"Look if anything happens, Cyber Cam can activate the zords. You can still operate them, but you'll be in civilian form"
After a little bit of hesitation, everyone started to hand over their power disks to Cam.
"Thanks," Cam replied.
"We'll be ready." Shane says.
"Well wish me luck." Cam turned around and activates his Cyclone Morpher "Samurai storm, ranger form. Ha!"
Cam was on his Samurai Star going to his destination when Wolf Blade appears in front of his sword "Whoa! What the?" he exclaimed in surprised.
The Wolf Blade immediately attacked the Samurai Star with its paw and sends the chopper flying to the ground.
{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}
"Cam!" Shane shouted.
"We have to help him." said Tori.
"Uh, hello? Anyone notices the three headed giant dog on the loose." Cyber Cam stated.
"Let's go!" Shane says and the others following right behind.
"You know, you really need an attitude adjustment." Blake suggests as he starting to leave.
"You can try, but it's not in my programming." Cyber Cam turned around in his chair.
"Are sending the zords in your programming?" Hunter asked with sarcasm.
"Yeah!" Cyber Cam turned back to the computer "Good luck," he types a few keys and then he presses the red button.
With their Power Disks with Cam, the rangers went into battle in their zords unmorphed
{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}
Motodrone was about to attack Hunter who fell off his Glider Bike after he got hit when the person dressed in the black cloak appeared aiming her hand at him. Quickly, Motodrone leaped toward the person dressed in black cloak away from Hunter who assumed that Motodrone has left.
Motodrone and the person dressed in the black cloak were immediately in battle. The person dressed in the black cloak was winning when suddenly Motodrone punched hard in the person dressed in the black cloak's stomach before blasting her and sending her flying backward crashing into the warehouse.
Later on, the person dressed in the black cloak was walking alone into an alley where she collapsed and fainted behind the back of Storm Chargers.
Kapri slowly opens her eyes and notices Marah was staring down at her "Marah?"
"Thank god, you're awaken and okay, Kapri".
"Where am I?" Kapri asked in confused "How did I get here?"
"Your at Storm Chargers, Kelly found you unconscious behind the dumpster in the back" Marah answered "And Dustin was the one who carried you inside".
"How long was I out?"
"For awhile, you were badly injured".
Kapri sighs, but immediately sat up wincing in pain.
"Take easy, Kapri," Marah put her hands on Kapri's shoulders.
"Is Hunter alright?" Kapri asked all of sudden with concern.
"Hunter is okay, don't worry Kapri".
{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}
The rangers were getting beat up by the Wolf Blade when suddenly Cam arrives in time with the new weapon, the Lightning Riff Blaster. He uses it to summon the Mighty Mammoth Zord, which combines with the Megazord to destroy Wolf Blade finally.
Back at Ninja Ops
The rangers was celebrating their victory in destroying the Wolf Blade and getting ready for the Totally Talent show which is tomorrow when Dustin decides to leave. Hunter notices and follows Dustin outside "Dustin, where are you going?"
"I'm going to Storm Chargers to see Marah".
"How come Marah is there?" Hunter asked with curiosity.
"Uh," Dustin tries to come up with an explanation "well, she's helping Kelly'.
'Helping Kelly?" Hunter glances at his watch "Last time I checked Kelly closed Storm Chargers early today".
Dustin face palm his face for being stupid and not remembering that Kelly closed early today.
"Ok spill it, what's going on?"
{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}
Marah filled everything that happened to Kapri as Kapri did the same.
"You know it dangerous for you to return back to Luthor's ship".
"I know, Marah," Kapri sighs looking down her hands.
"What are you planning to do, Kapri? Are you planning to go back to Luthor?"
Kapri nodded "Yes after I'm better".
"No, you can't," Marah shook her head, disagreeing.
"Marah, I have to go back," Kapri touches Marah's hands "I'm doing this for you. I have to find a way to saved you. Once I do, I'll leave Luthor for good".
"But I don't think you should".
"I'll be okay, Marah".
Marah was about to said something when Hunter came bursting in with Dustin right behind him.
"Hunter?" she blinks her eyes confused then she looked at Dustin wondering what he said to Hunter.
Hunter went over to Kapri side "Kaitlyn," he grabs one of her hand and held it in his hands "I heard what happened, are you alright?"
Marah got up and went over to Dustin
Kapri nods "I'm fine, Hunter," she assures him with a small smile,
Dustin and Marah quietly left the room leaving Hunter alone with Kapri.
Downstairs in Storm Chargers
"What did you told Hunter?" Marah asked once she and Dustin are downstairs alone.
Dustin sighs "I told him that Kaitlyn had an accident. Some idiot rammed her with his bike. Lucky that idiot didn't ram her that hard or she would have a concussion".
"And he believed you?"
"Yeah," Dustin nods "I didn't want to tell Hunter something that Kapri doesn't want him to know. So I'll let her tell Hunter instead".
"Or he could find out on his own," Marah added.
"Truth," Dustin agreed "But let's not worry about that right now, let's talk about something else," he suggested.
"Like what?"
"Us"
Marah looked at Dustin confused.
"Marah," he touches her arms "I notice that something was bothering you lately and I want to know what was bothering you"
"It's nothing," She looked away not wanting to talk about it "I was only worried about Kapri," she said a moment later, looking at him.
"Is that what was bothering you?"
Marah nods
Dustin smiles and hugs her "Don't we'll figure out a way to help Kapri," he assured her.
"Thanks Dustin," she slightly smiles, still thinking about what Fake Marah said.
Fake Marah approaches to Marah, grabbing Marah's arm. She pulled Marah up on her feet and leans toward Marah and spokes "You can feel the pain can't you? I say it again, you are weak" Marah flinches as she heard what Fake Marah said "And a burden to the others especially the yellow ranger".
"Am I a burden?" she wondered
{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}
"I was worried when Dustin told me what happened to you," Hunter told her.
"What did Dustin told you?
"He told me some idiot rammed you with his bike, lucky it wasn't hard or else you would have a concussion," Hunter replied, slightly upset "I wish I was there so I can beat the crap out that idiot that rammed you".
Kapri (Kaitlyn) smiles "It's okay Hunter, I'm fine now, so let it go".
Hunter sighs "Okay, but that doesn't mean I'm letting you out of my sight".
"Does that mean you follow me everywhere I go?"
"No, not really because I don't want you to think that I'm a stalker or a bad guy," he teased.
Kapri (Kaitlyn) laughs
"Well I should leave and let you rest," he got up and was about to leave when he remembers something "I almost forgot, I want to ask you something, Kaitlyn"
"What is it?"
"Would like to go to the Totally Talent show to see me perform tomorrow?"
"Sure," Kapri (Kaitlyn) agrees with a smile.
Hunter smiles "Great! I'll come by and pick you up tomorrow".
Kaitlyn nods and Hunter left out the door.
{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}
At the Totally Talent Show
Cam walked onto the set of Totally Talented with his guitar as he met up with the rest of the group.
"Hey, you made it," Tori said.
"Sure it's not Cyber Cam?" Blake looked at him.
"It's the real me." Cam answered as he lifts his head up to look at the others with a smile on his face.
"That thing won't summon any Mammoths, will it?" Hunter laughed.
"It might, I've been known to rock a few worlds," Cam smirked.
"Big words for such a little man," Shane teased. "Don't feel too bad when you come in second."
"Or third and fourth." Dustin added and the others laughed a bit.
Cam suddenly notices Kaitlyn was standing next to Hunter and smirks "I see you brought someone along with you".
Hunter looked at Kaitlyn and smiles "Yeah I did and so did Dustin".
Dustin put his arms around Marah and chuckles "I brought Marah here to cheer me on!"
"Me too!" Shane added as he also turns and looked at Skyla who was standing next to him.
Tori smiles "I guess Dustin, Shane, and Hunter has someone cheering for them".
"You're not jealous are you?" Blake smirked.
Tori snorts "No," She lightly hits him in the arm "I'm afraid you might be jealous if I'm the winner of the Totally Talent".
"Ouch," Hunter laughs, patting his brother in the back
The show started and the rangers took their seats. The host introduced the show then Tori went up to do her dance first. Next, it was Shane singing a song, which was a great performance. Then Dustin went up and plays his saxophone with Marah watching him. Cam was after with his guitar and managed to rock this world.
Blake and Hunter were next with their secret talent. Hunter was rapping while Blake was the disk jockey. Hunter ended the performing with a high kick
The last performance came as a shocking to everyone. It was Choobo in a disguise that didn't look good.
"Choobo?" Marah looked at Kapri who was looking at her in shock.
"That's not good," Dustin scratches his head confused.
"Urgh! That outfit is ugly!" Hunter remarked.
"Anyone got a bucket? I feeling like puking just by looking at that outfit Choobo is wearing," Blake said.
"Man! He's a horrible singer," Shane cringes and covers his ears.
Kapri was glad that Choobo didn't recognize her in the civilian form.
"Would someone please shut him up?" Tori exclaimed.
"Maybe someone should throw something at him," Dustin suggests.
"Anyone got something we can throw at him?" Cam asked.
Everyone was looking around for something to throw at Choobo when the host got up on the stage and stop the horrible performance "Okay, that's enough performance for today".
Choobo wasn't happy about it that he blasts the host and disappears angry.
"That's it! I quit!" The host walked off pissed.
"Great, nobody wins!" Dustin sighed.
"I don't know Dustin, I think we're all winners," Cam laughed before his hat was knocked off by Hunter.
TBC: Review and tell me what you think.
