Chapter Forty Two

At Storm Charger, Kelly and Janessa were still playing the X-box. Outside Dustin arrives on his bike when a car pulled up. He turns to see the pizza man getting out the car and walked over to him.

"Someone orders a pizza?" the pizza man asked.

"I'll pay for that," Dustin pulled out his wallet and paid the Pizza man. "Kelly probably orders it so I'll bring it in for her. Thanks".

"No problem," the pizza man nods and clasps hands with Dustin. "Enjoy, it's good".

"Oh okay," Dustin smiles and waves as the pizza man got in car and waves at him. Then the pizza man drove off.

"This pizza smell good," Dustin said a moment later when he sniffs the smell of the pizza that was coming out from the box. Then he opens the storm chargers with the spare key that Kelly gave him and walked inside.

Hearing the door of Storm Chargers opens and closes; Kelly and Janessa got up and looked at each other, wondering who would come into Storm Charger at this time. Assuming that it was a burglar, Kelly quickly grabs a stick while Janessa got in front of her.

"Stay here Kelly," Janessa turns to Kelly and whispers. "I'll go check it out".

"Be careful," Kelly whispers back. Janessa nods and left to go check out who's the intruder was.

Janessa looked around for the intruder. As she walked over to the counter, a hand touches her shoulder. Going with her instinct, she reacts and flips the person over on his back.

"Ow!" the person groans in pain.

"Thief! Take this!" Kelly yelled as she ran over beside Janessa and swings her stick down at the person.

"Wait! Stop!" the person shouted, holding his hands out. "Kelly, it's me".

Kelly stopped. "Dustin?" she says when she recognizes the person's voice.

"Yeah, it's me".

"You shouldn't sneak up on me," Janessa extends her hand out and Dustin took it.

"I'll try to remember that".

"Dustin, what are you doing here?" Kelly asked as Janessa helps Dustin up.

"I came to see if you and Janessa need help and I also paid for your pizza," Dustin answered. "Who did you think it was a robbery or a monster?"

"Sorry," Kelly chuckles and shook her head. "Janessa and I were playing an X-box game and we thought you were a zombie or a thief".

Dustin laughs. "Wow, what was the game?"

"It's a maze game that is with zombies and creepy monsters. The rules to game is that you have to find the keys to unlock the doors to find your way out of the maze or else you get kill by monsters and zombies," Janessa explained. "It was my idea to play".

"That sure sound like a scary game," Dustin placed his hands on Kelly and Janessa shoulders. "But how about you girls stop playing the X-box and has some pizza with me since I paid for it," he suggests.

"Sure!" Kelly and Janessa agreed.

"I'll go turn off the X-box game," Kelly said before she left to the TV area leaving Dustin alone with Janessa.

"Janessa?"

"Yeah"

"I have to ask you something," Janessa nods and Dustin continues. "Where did you learn those ninja moves?"

"Honestly, I don't remember," Janessa looked down at her hands. "It's a blur to me".

"Don't worry, you will remember," he assures her. "Let's go eat some pizza".

Janessa nods "You go first, I'll be there in a minute," she told him.

"Okay," Dustin agrees and left to the TV area with the pizza. Janessa stares at Dustin leaving and wondering what was wrong with her. She was supposes to use him not having a conversation with him. For past few days, she has been hanging out at the Storm Chargers instead of planning an attack on the rangers. Lothor is going to be upset.

Janessa scoffs and wonders why she should worry that Lothor would be mad. He wasn't her boss, Zurgane was and he's gone. So she gets to do what she wants. That may be true, but she still has an assignment that Zurgane left for her is to follow Lothor and destroy the rangers. Back then, she would have done the assignment with no hesitation, but now she starting to have doubt.

"What should I do?" She questioned herself.

"Janessa," Kelly called out to her.

Janessa snaps out from her thoughts. "Coming," she answered and left to the TV area where Dustin and Kelly were waiting for her.

Meanwhile at Blue Bay Point, Marah was sitting at the bench by herself staring up at the sky that was slowly turning dark. In her mind she was thinking about Dustin. One of the memories appears in her mind.

Marah's Memory Flashback

"Marah, that's the risk I'm willing take. I'll promise I will protect and will found a way to save you. Being with you is one thing I would never regret," Dustin told her.

"But I was evil before," she sadly mentioned.

"It's true that you were evil once," he patted her hands "But you are good now".

"Dustin, there is something you need to know," she pulled her hand away from his hands and turn away "The truth is during Beevil incident, I was ordered to used you, to gain your trust and then crush you"

"But you didn't," he pointed out.

"I know," she looked down "But I felt a shame about it".

Dustin grabbed her arms and turned her around to face him "Marah," he tilted her face up to looked at him "Don't feel a shame about it, you have proven that you are good".

"I did?" She asked as she stared at him.

"Yes," he smiled "You saved my life from Beevil. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be standing here," he told her.

A smile suddenly appeared on Marah's face after she heard what he said "Thanks Dustin," she said before she hugged him.

He smiled "You're welcome".

Then they let go and stared at each other. Dustin touched Marah's hair with his hand then leaned forward and kissed her on the lips. Marah responded back, wrapping her arms around his neck pulling him close to her and Dustin deepened the kiss that turn into passionate one.

End of Marah's Memory Flashback

A rustling sound snaps Marah from her thoughts and she quickly got. She was about to leave when she notices it was Kapri.

"Kapri," she sighs. "It's only you". She sat back down on the bench.

"Yeah it's me. Who did you thought..." Kapri paused realizes who Marah thought it was "Dustin?"

Marah didn't answer which prove that Kapri was right. Marah did thought she was Dustin. Kapri can tell that Marah miss him a lot because her sister would always come here by herself to think. She went over and sat next to her sister.

"Marah, I think you should go to Dustin and tell him that you're alive because I can't stand it to see you or Dustin like this. I can tell that both of you miss each other".

"Kapri... you know that I..." Marah begins, but got interrupted.

"At least think about it," Kapri says. "I know that you worried that if Lothor find out that you are alive, he would use you to get to Dustin because you're Dustin weakness and Dustin is your weakness, but I think there is a way for you to tell Dustin without Lothor knowing".

"Kapri," Marah turns to her sister smiles. "You're right, but let me think about it, okay".

"Okay," Kapri smiles and placed a hand on her sister's shoulder. "I'll leave you alone, don't be home late". She got up and was about to teleports away.

"Kapri wait!"

"What is it?"

"Did you tell Hunter the truth?"

Kapri nodded "Yes and I'm glad that I did".

Marah was happy for her sister. She was worried that Hunter would be angry, but judging from her sister face, she didn't need to worry at all.

"I'm happy for you, Kapri".

"Thanks," Kapri smiles. "But I'm not happy yet until I see you happy". She said to Marah before she teleport away.

Marah sighs and stares up at the sky. She knew Kapri was right because one way or another she would have to see Dustin again.

The next day, at Ninja Ops, Cam, Shane, Skyla, and Tori were standing face to face with Time Force Rangers. The Time Force rangers were getting ready to leave. Wild Force rangers were there also

"Where are Hunter, Blake, and Dustin?" Tori asked as she looked around and notice that three of their teammates haven't show up. "Shouldn't they be here by now?"

"They should," Cam checks his watch. "I contacted them earlier to come here".

"I wonder what holding them up?" Shane questioned when Blake and Hunter came running in, breathing heavy.

"Sorry we're late," Hunter apologizes.

"Okay Blake and Hunter are here, but where is Dustin," Shane turns to the Bradley brothers. "You guys haven't seen him, have you?"

"No,' Blake shook his head. "We haven't, we were on our way here".

"Maybe, he's at Storm Chargers working," Hunter assumed. "He's probably trying to hurry up to get here".

"How about we head over to Storm Chargers to say goodbye to him," Wes suggests.

"That's good idea," Shane nodded and turns to Cam "Are you coming with us, Cam?"

"Yeah," Cam agreed and follows Shane and others out of Ninja Ops.

"Dustin," said Kelly who enters Storm Chargers carrying a load of boxes.

Dustin who was fixing a bike got up and rushes over to Kelly "Here, let me help you," he grabs some of boxes off of her.

"Thanks," Kelly looked around and notices someone was missing. "Dustin, where's Janessa?"

"I don't know, she hasn't show up yet". Dustin answered before he took the boxes to the back.

"That's strange," Kelly blinks her eyes as she follows Dustin to the back, carrying two boxes in her hands. "Usually, she would be here early".

Dustin shrugs. "Maybe, she's busy with something". He assumed.

"Hey Dustin," hollered Hunter who walked into Storm Chargers with the others right behind him.

"Oh," Dustin ran out from behind the counter. "I'm sorry; I know I was supposed to meet you guys, but..."

"He was busy helping me," Kelly replied as she walked out from behind the counter and stand next to Dustin.

"This is Kelly," Dustin introduces his boss to the Wild Force and Time Force rangers. "She's the owner of Storm Chargers". He turns to Kelly. "Kelly, these are our friends, they came here to visit Blue Bay Harbor and now they have to go back home".

"It's nice to meet you all," Kelly smiles "Wish you guys could stay a little longer".

Cole nods "Yeah, we would but..."

"But because we have things that we need to do," Alyssa finishes Cole's sentence.

"Well, hopefully you guys could come back here for a visit someday".

"Don't worry we will if we get a chance to," Alyssa smiles and turns to her teammates. "Right guys?"

"Yeah definitely," Max and Danny answered while Cole, Taylor, and Merrick nod.

"If we do have a chance to, we would come here for a visit," Princess Shayla reassures.

"Okay then, I'll let you guys continue your conversation, I'll be in the back organizing some stuff," Kelly said before she left to the back room.

"Okay," Tori sighs and smiles. "I guess we should say our goodbye and escort you guys".

The Wild Force and Time Force Rangers nodded.

"Kelly, I'm going to leave for a few minute," Dustin yelled.

"Okay," Kelly replied.

Everyone begin to head out when Janessa walked in with a surprise look. "Oh hi".

"Oh," Dustin walked through the crowd over to Janessa. "Guys, I want you to meet my friend Janessa, she work at Storm Chargers for a week now. Janessa, these are my friends; Shane, Tori, Skyla, Cam, Blake and Hunter".

"Janessa," Hunter and Blake muttered as they looked at each other confused. They have a feeling that they heard the name Janessa before and knew her from somewhere. They would question her about it, but they have to escort the Wild Force and Time Force rangers and also meet up with Leanne.

"Hunter and Blake?" Janessa flinches when she heard those names. "Where have I heard those names before?" She questioned. Suddenly, her head was starting to hurt. Usually it happens when she thinks too much or a weird vision appears in her mind.

Shane on the other hand doesn't seem to trust Janessa. His instinct was telling him something wasn't right, but he doesn't know what it is. It felt like déjà vu again for him like how it was before with Blake and Hunter when they were evil and was tricking them.

As for Tori, she sorts of trust Janessa, but at same time trying to be cautious. She doesn't want the situation with Blake and Hunter to happen again.

"Nice to meet you," Cam extends his hand out. "I'm Cam". He smiles, but was aware to see if Janessa can be trusted.

"Nice to me you Cam," Janessa smiles and shook Cam's hand then, Tori, and Shane.

When she shook Hunter and Blake hands, she felt something weird. It like she knew them already.

"Uh are you okay," Hunter asked, noticing the startling look on Janessa's face.

"Uh," Janessa snaps out from her thoughts and let go of Hunter's hand. "I'm okay".

"Oh and these are my other friends who are visiting: Wes, Eric, Jen, Katie, Trip, Lucas, Nadira, Cole, Alyssa, Taylor, Max, Danny, Princess Shayla, and Merrick".

"Nice to meet you all," Janessa shook each of their hands.

"It's nice to meet you too, Janessa," Cole said as he shook Janessa's hand. Suddenly he senses something. So he decides to read her heart. When he read it, he was surprise to find out that Janessa was struggling with some difficulties of her life and was having doubt about something. He then let go of her hand and put on a smile before she get suspicious. 'We should get going now".

"Yeah," everyone agreed.

"Well goodbye," Janessa smiles and waves. "I'm going to go help Kelly now". She said before she left to the backroom.

Everyone then left out of Storm Chargers.

Somewhere near the skate park, Ninja Storm rangers were saying goodbye to the Time Force and Wild Force rangers. There two SUV black car waiting for them with the driver inside. One of the SUV black cars was heading back to Sliver Hills whiles the others head to Turtle Cove.

"Thanks for your help," Shane shook hands with Eric and Wes while Dustin, Tori, Cam, Hunter, and Blake shook hands with Jen, Katie, Lucas, Trip, and Nadira.

"You're welcome," Wes answered. "And thanks for showing us a good time here at Blue Bay Harbor".

"It has been a blast," Eric added.

"Take care," Tori said to them.

"Come back for a visit if you can," Dustin added.

Eric, Wes, Jen, Katie, Trip, Lucas, and Nadira nod with a smile on their faces.

Shane went over to Cole and shook his hand. "Thanks for your guys help too. We couldn't defeat Mandilok without you guys".

"The pleasure was all ours," Cole answered.

Taylor touches Shane and Dustin and smile. "We're sure that you guys handle the rest". She said before she joins Eric.

Shane and Dustin chuckle.

"We won't let you guys down," Shane assures.

"We're counting on that," said Merrick who was standing in between Princess Shayla and Zen-Aku. Princess Shayla was holding the Wild Force rangers jacket and their growl phones (morphers).

"Well, we hope to see you guys again," Hunter said.

"Yeah, but under good circumstances," Alyssa replied.

"And not bad circumstances," Max added and everyone laugh.

"So, what are guys planning to do now that you complete your mission?" Shane asked.

"Traveling around the world," Max and Danny answered.

"For me," Alyssa smiles and touches her chest. "I'm going to back to teaching and hopefully hang out with my friends," she turns to Cole who smiles at her.

Everyone turn and looked at Taylor. "Me, I'm going to help save peoples..."

"By working for Sliver Guardian," Eric wraps his arm around her. "Along side with me and Wes, she's our partner".

Wes smiles and shook his head.

"Don't worry Wes, I found a partner for you too".

"Eric, I thought I told that I..."

"Wait," Eric hold his hand up interrupting Wes. "Before you reject, let me tell you who it is first".

"Fine," Wes sighs. "Who's the person that going to be my partner?"

"Me," Jen answered and Wes looked at her in shock.

"You?"

"Yeah, I'm your partner".

"Am I dreaming?" Wes asked.

Eric walked over to Wes and pinches his arm.

"Ow!" Wes turns and glares at Eric while the others chuckle.

"Nope, you're not dreaming, Wes".

"Alright, we really should get going," Taylor spokes.

Lucas, Nadira, Katie, Trip, Max, Danny, Alyssa, Merrick, Zen-Aku, Princess Shayla, Jen, Wes, Eric, and Taylor got in the SUV black cars while Cole pulled Hunter to aside.

"There is something I need to tell you," he says to where Hunter can hear him.

"What is it?" Hunter asked.

"It's about Janessa".

"Uh," Hunter chuckles. "I'm the wrong person you're talking to. Janessa is not my friend, she's Dustin friend".

"I know, but it's you that I want to talk to because I felt there is a connection between you and Janessa"

"I don't know what you are talking about," Hunter says even though he knew Cole was right because he did felt a little bit connection between him and Janessa that can't be explained.

"It's up to you whether you believe me or not, but I want you to know that when I read Janessa's heart, I felt that she was struggling with something inside of her and that something terrible has happen to her before, which I don't know what it is".

"Could it be that Janessa has a secret?" Hunter wonders. "Thanks for telling me this, Cole," He answered a moment later.

"You're welcome," Cole said before he got in the SUV black car.

Two SUV black cars drove off as the Ninja Storm rangers' wave goodbye.

Blake walked up to Hunter. "What did Cole told you?"

"I tell you later bro," Hunter answered and Blake nods.

"Hey Hunter, what did Cole told you?" Shane asked.

"He told me give you message that "He had fun at Blue Bay Harbor and he and his friends would never forget about it".

"Aw that so sweet," Tori remarked with a smile.

"Why didn't he say it out loud instead of speaking to you alone?" Dustin asked.

"Because he wants to surprise you guys," Blake answered.

"Well that was a good surprise message," Shane says.

"Yeah," Dustin agreed. "I'm going to head back to Storm Chargers". He said before he left.

"I'm going to head back to Ninja Ops," Cam says.

"I'll go with you, Cam," Shane says as him and Skyla walked over to Cam. "I need to talk to you and Sensei about something".

"Don't forget about me," Tori join Shane, Skyla, and Cam and then looked over at Blake. "Are you coming, Blake?"

"Nah, you guys go head, me and Hunter going to meet up Leanne for training".

"Oh okay," Tori smiles. Well tell Leanne I say hi".

"Okay," Blake said for he ninja streaks with Hunter.

Then Tori, Shane, Skyla, and Cam left to Ninja Ops.

TBC: Whew, this was a long chapter. Finally Shane, Hunter, Blake, Tori, and Cam meet Janessa. Something tells me they don't seem to trust her yet. Yes poor Marah, but don't worry. She will see Dustin again.

Review and tell me what you think.
