Chapter Fifty one

Blake, Hunter, and Janessa had made it back safe to their world. They fall out from the portal hole and landed on the ground. Janessa, who was on the Hunter's back, fell to the ground beside him.

Hunter and Blake got up and looked around, wondering if they were back in their own world.

"Blake!" they heard Tori's voice shouted and turned to see her and the others running toward them. Before they can question what's going, Blake found himself being hugged by Tori, who was happy to see him and Hunter.

"You're back!" Tori exclaimed as Blake hugs her back.

"Back?" Blake pulled away and stares at Tori confused. "Wait a minute, is Sensei..." He begins to ask.

"Sensei is okay," Shane answered. "Why did you ask? Did something happen?"

"No," Blake shook his head and smile in relieve. "We just glad to be back".

"We are also glad that you guys are back too," said Dustin, who pats Blake and Hunter on the back.

Hunter smiles a little, but stops when he realizes something. He quickly turn around and saw Janessa was slowly getting up, slightly shaking due to her wound on her leg.

"Janessa!" He rushes over to help her, only to stop when she aims her staff at him and the others.

"Don't think that I'm on your side," She glares at him, Blake, and the others.

"Janessa," Dustin walks forward, but Shane stopped him, putting a hand on his chest.

"I knew there was something that I didn't like about you," Shane glares at her. "You are the mask figure person". He spats

"I can't believe..." Tori begins to say when Blake interrupts her.

"But you help us back there,' Blake points out and everyone look at him.

"I only help you because I promise you that I would. It was only temporary until we return here. Now that we have return, I can destroy you," She tightens her grips on her staff and was preparing to blasts him and the others when suddenly a huge roar was heard.

Everyone looked up at the sky and see the monster grow huge.

Janessa smirks and looked at Hunter and Blake. "Look like you have company. I will spare you this time. Next time, you won't be so lucky," She said before vanishing.

"Wait!" Hunter ran over to the spot where Janessa stood before disappearing. He still doesn't believe that she would destroy him and other. He could see it in her eyes that she was good, but why wouldn't she let him help her nor join them.

Blake walked over and touches Hunter's shoulder. "Maybe we were wrong about her," He assumed and Hunter looked down. "Let's go bro; we need to go deal with the monster".

Hunter turned to Blake and nodded. Then everyone went on the megazords and finish off the monster.

Later at Ninja Ops, everyone was surrounding Kapri, who was taking care of Marah, who was still unconscious.

"Kapri how is Marah alive and dressed as a black cloak figure?" Tori asked.

Kapri sighs and got up. "I guess I should tell you what happen right after Fake Marah and Marah battle since Marah filled me in what happened". Everyone nods and ready to hear what Kapri has to say,

"During the battle with Fake Marah and Marah, just when Fake Marah was about to finish off Marah, Marah activate the device I gave her and manage to reflect the attack right back at Fake Marah. It destroys Fake Marah and returns the power back to Marah, restoring her back to alien attire," Kapri explained. "The curse that was on Marah was gone and no longer threatening her life".

"Why didn't she tell us back then she was alive?" Dustin asked, sounding hurt, knowing that Marah was alive all this time and he didn't even know. He glances over at Hunter and was slightly upset that Hunter knew and never told him. He recalled back when Hunter stopped him from destroying Marah who he assumed was Fake Marah. If Hunter didn't stop him in time, he would have destroyed Marah. That would literally hurt him.

"It's not like she didn't want to. Knowing that Lothor was watching and assuming that she was Fake Marah, she has to pretend to be Fake Marah so she could be next to Lothor and know what his plan was so she can help you guys out. She really want to help you guys stop Lothor from destroying the world." Kapri paces around the room. "When I return to Lothor's ship, I at first thought she was Fake Marah until she reveals herself to me. I'm sorry I didn't tell you because I promise her that I wouldn't". She said, feeling guilty.

Hunter, who heard the whole story, walked over and wrapped his arms around her. "I understand and I'm pretty sure everyone else does too". He looked at everyone.

"Hunter right, Kapri," Tori walked over to him and Kapri and places her hand on Kapri's shoulder. "We are not upset, we totally understand. Right now, we need help Marah get better. We think you and Marah should stay with us because I'm sure that Lothor know about your betrayal and would destroy you if you and Marah return".

"It is safer if you are with us," Cam added.

Blake and Shane nodded while Dustin walked over to Marah. "Hang on Marah," He gently grabs one of her hand and held it. "You have come this far. You can't give up".

"She's strong," Cam assured, fixing some medicine and then help Marah drink it. "This should help her". He placed a hand on Dustin's shoulder. "Don't worry Marah will be okay".

Hunter, who was watching Dustin and Cam can't help, but worry for Janessa. He still doesn't how she was, especially when she has been injured. The others believe that Janessa is bad, but he doesn't. He still believes that she has a good side. He doesn't know why, but he has a feeling that he knew her and that she might be in a trouble.

Somewhere in the forest, Janessa was limping toward a tree and sat down against it. She stares up at the sky.

"But you help us back there," Blake's voice said in her mind.

"I only help you because I promise you that I would. It was only temporary until we return here. Now that we have return, I can destroy you," Her voice replied back.

The truth is she never intends to destroy them when they return. Before, she would without hesitation. Now, she was unsure and confused about what to do. Join Lothor to destroy the world, it would never happen. She only worked with Lothor because of Zurgane. Now that Zurgane is no longer here, she is determining to work alone. She has never thought about joining Hunter and Blake. Not when she doesn't know anything about her past nor has she trusts them. They did help her when she was hurt back there in the alternate world, which she repaid them back, helping them back there. She doesn't like to owe anyone for saving her life.

"Look like you survive," a voice interrupts her thoughts.

She looked up and saw Vexacus appears, and was walking toward her.

"So you were the one behind this!" She angry got quickly, ignoring the pain on her leg. She aims her staff at him. "I might as well destroy you". She glares at him.

"I'm not here to get destroy by you," Vexacus folds his arms. "I'm here to ask you to rethink on my offer I gave you before".

"Join you and help you defeat Lothor?"

Vexacus nodded.

"Like I said before, no, I work alone," Janessa replied calmly. "But I wonder what Lothor would do to you if he knew about your betrayal. Even if his niece did betray him, he would kill them too. So I guess the same goes for you".

Suddenly Janessa was grabs by the throat by Vexacus, who have her feet dangling off the ground. She was coughing and tries to break from his grips.

"What do you know?" he sneered. "Answer me!" He tightens his grips on her neck, squeezing the air out from her throat.

"A thunder electricity surge from Janessa's body and shock Vexacus, forcing him to release her. It sends him flying backward and smacks his back against the trunk of the tree.

Janessa got up and felt her self getting dizzy. Quickly, she took off running to get away from Vexacus. She would have stay and fight if it wasn't for her injury that was in pain.

Vexacus angrily got up and chase after her.

Ignore the pain on her leg, she force herself to run faster. It didn't last long when she came upon a cliff. It triggers a memory that send a shiver down her spine.

A young woman fell off the cliff to her death, holding the staff in her hands. A shadow approached the lifeless body and carried it away.

Janessa head shot up and her eyes widen. Her hands grab her head. "What was that?" She thought.

"Look like this is the end for you," Vexacus's voice interrupts her thoughts. She turned around and saw Vexacus walked toward her. She looked back and forth at the cliff and him.

"Last chance, join me or be destroy," he aims his sword at her.

"I'll never join you," Janessa replied, sticking with her final decision.

"Goodbye then," Vexacus swings his sword at her, hitting her in the shoulder. She lose her balance and was about to fall over the cliff when out of nowhere a blur figure zoom pass by in a blink of an eye, grabs Janessa and disappears.

"What!" Vexacus angry exclaimed. "NO!'

The next day at Storm Charger, Hunter was kneeling down, working on the dirt bike while Dustin was behind the counter serving the customers when Tori and Shane came in.

"I guess she didn't show up at all," Tori said, referring to Janessa.

"Why would she when we knew she was the mask figure," Shane looked at Tori. "She's probably think we would strangle her to get some answers from her," He joked, earning a whack in the arm by Tori.

Tori shook her head and chuckles. "I'm going to go check on Blake and Hunter," She nods her head toward the direction where Blake and Hunter were.

"I'll go see Dustin," He told her before him and she went separate way.

"Hey Dustin," Shane greeted his friend.

"Hey," Dustin replied without looking up.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm okay," He sighs and looked up. "I still can't believe that Janessa is the mask figure person and also that Marah is alive".

"I know that too much to take in, but I have a question to ask you," Shane looked around and notices the place wasn't that crowd with people. "Are you on break?"

"Dustin nodded and walked out from the behind the counter and over to the TV area. "Yeah, what is it that you want to talk to me about?" He asked, sitting down on the couch with Shane.

"Well, do you have feelings for Janessa or do you still have feelings for Marah?"

Dustin slightly chuckles. "Dude, seriously?"

Shane shrugs and chuckles. "What? It's curiosity".

"Honestly,' Dustin sighs and leans forward, putting his elbow on his legs. "I admit when Marah was gone, I felt empty inside. When Janessa came and I get to spend time with her, I felt like myself again, but that doesn't mean my feelings for Marah have change".

"That's good to hear," Shane touches Dustin's shoulder. "But has it ever occur to you that Janessa might have feelings for you?"

Dustin shook his head and then glares at him.

"Hey! I thought you hate her".

"Well yeah, but that doesn't mean that I wouldn't give her a chance to be good. It'sall depends on her. I admit I was angry at first when I realize that she was in fact the mask figure person and I wanted to kill her.

Dustin sighs and looked down at his hands.

"You're worried about her, aren't you?" Shane asked, knowing full well what was bothering his friend.

"She hasn't woken up yet".

"Don't worry, she will," Shane pats Dustin's back. "When she does, you two will be able to patch things up. Hopefully she won't leave you".

"I'll never let her leave me again, no matter what happen," Dustin stated.

"How is he doing?" Tori asked when she stood next to Blake.

"He hasn't said a word all day," Blake answered, still staring at Hunter working on the dirt bike. "I know he's thinking about Janessa".

"What about you?" Tori asked.

"What?" Blake turned to her. "Am I thinking about Janessa?" Tori nodded. "Maybe a little," He put his hands up. "Don't take that the wrong way because I never would have like her because..."

"Because you like me," Tori finished his sentence with a smile on her face.

"Right," Blake smiles at her. "Glad we understand each other".

Tori playfully hit Blake in the arm. She then notices his smile sudden disappear and he was serious again.

"Is there something wrong?"

"I don't know how to explain, but Hunter and I sense something bad might happen to Janessa". There was a hint of concern in his voice.

"What do you mean?" Tori stares at him confused.

"Tori," Blake turns around and look her. "Janessa is injure back there in the alternate universe and she did help us. All I'm saying that ever since Zurgane is gone, we barely seen Janessa attacking us".

"Maybe she returns back to Lothor".

"No, that impossible," He shook her head. "If you were with us in the alternate universe, you wouldn't think that. Janessa literally save me and Hunter butts from Lothor back there".

"Blake, what exactly happen in that universe?" Tori asked, curious to know what happen back since he and Hunter return. It felt like they knew something and was hiding it from her and the others.

"Do you really want to know?"

"Of course we do," Shane spokes up from behind Tori as him and Dustin walked over to him and Tori.

"Well, you guys were evil and were working for Lothor".

Shane laughs and touches Blake's shoulder," Me, Tori, Dustin," he points at himself, Tori, and Dustin. "Work for Lothor, you're kidding, right?"

"And Cam too," Hunter added as he walked up and stood next to Blake.

When he notices that Blake and Hunter wasn't laughing and was serious, he realizes that it wasn't a joke. "You're not kidding," he said, calming down.

"What did we do?" Dustin questioned.

"Destroy Blue Bay Harbor and almost kill me and Hunter alternate self," Blake explained. "But at the end, you guys become good again and promise to help peoples by defeating Lothor".

"How?"

"Let's just say we had help," Hunter answered, thinking about Janessa.

Near Thunder Academy, in the forest, lying near the tree, Janessa slowly become conscious and immediately sat up. She looked around confused.

"Where am I?" she muttered.

Last thing, she remember was running away from Vexacus and was about to fall down the cliff. Now she ends up at the place where she doesn't know. She tries to get up, but immediately regret it when the pain on her shoulder sting.

She looked at her shoulder and notices a bandage on it.

"That's right, Vexacus attack him, but how did I get here?"

Suddenly, her thought were interrupt by the footsteps. She swiftly looked up to see a mask ninja person walked over to her with a bowl of water. "You're awake".

"Who are you?" She asked, not letting her guard down.

The mask ninja person sat the bowl of water down in front of Janessa. "Drink up".

Janessa reaches her hand toward the bowl of water, but then quickly retreat her hand back. "Who are you?" she demanded to know, not trusting the mask ninja person.

"You don't remember, do you?"

"What?" She stares at the mask ninja person confused.

The mask ninja person touches the side of her mask and yanks it off, revealing herself.

Janessa eyes widen when she saw who it was.

"Leanne," She mutters out loud with a confused look. "How do I know her name?"

TBC: What a surprise that it was Leanne that saves Janessa from Vexacus.

Review and tell me what you think.
