Chapter Fifty Five: Past Memory Return Part 3
"Tori, wake up," Blake gently shakes Tori by her shoulder.
Tori slowly open her eyes and sat up, clutching her head. "Ow, where are we now?" she asked, wincing in pain from the headache.
"Thunder Academy," Hunter simply replied as Blake help Tori get up on her feet.
"This must be one of Janessa's memories," Blake theorized as he, Hunter, and Tori begin to walk toward Thunder Academy.

Tori, Blake, and Hunter walked into Thunder Academy and looked around the place.
"Over there," Tori points over to the stage at two young boys who was on their knees with their heads bowing down.
"That's us!" Blake said recognizing his younger self and Hunter's younger self. Both Hunter and Tori were surprise to see younger version of Hunter and Blake.
"Do you think they see us?" Tori asked as she was staring at the younger version of Hunter and Blake.
"Only one way to find out," Hunter stepped forward and was about to approaches his younger self and Blake younger self when he notices a young blond girl walked up to his younger self and Blake younger self.
She kneels down in front of them, holding a tray with two cups. "I brought you guys some water," she told them.
Young Hunter shook his head. "Go back inside before Sensei Omino sees you out here". He suggested.
"Thanks for the water, but we can't drink it. If we do, we will get in trouble by Sensei". Young Blake added.
"But you two have been out in the sun and haven't drink anything water," The young blonde girl face was plaster with concern. "Just take a sip of water, Sensei Omino won't know" she suggests.
Hunter, who was watching, turned to his brother, "Do you remember about us being punished by Sensei Omino?"
"Yeah," Blake muttered as he was trying to remember about why he and Hunter were punished. "Could this be one of Janessa's memories?" He thought. Suddenly he realizes something and glances over at the blonde girl.
"Who is that girl?" Tori asked out loud. "She look like Janessa," She pointed out.
"She is Janessa," Blake confirmed it and Tori eyes widen in shock.
"Me and Blake were childhood friend with Janessa," Hunter added as he continues to watch young Janessa talked to young Blake and Hunter.
"How come you two never told us about this?" Tori asked.
"It was in the past and we didn't remember it till now," Blake answered as he was processing that Janessa was friend with him and Hunter.
With no luck of convincing the two brothers to drink water, Young Janessa sighs and got up.
"We really appreciate you came out here for us, Janessa, but you need go back because we don't want to see you get in trouble and be punish like us". Young Hunter told her.
She was about to give up and leave when idea appears in her mind. She sat the tray down on the ground and grabbed the two cup of water. Before young Hunter and Blake can question what she was up to, she held the cups above their head and pour water out of it.
"Ah!" Young Hunter and Blake yelped as they felt the water going down from their head to their faces.
"Hey! What are you doing?" Young Hunter glances up at her as she stares down at him with a smirk on her face. "Letting you drink water".
"But, me and Hunter will be in trouble if we drink water," he says, sounding a bit upset.
"But you and Blake didn't," she pointed out and young Blake and Hunter look at her confused. "I pour water on your head and it went down to your mouth so how does that count as you drinking water when you haven't touched the cup". She explained and slightly laughed.
Realizing what she means, Young Hunter and Blake laugh.
"I got to say, that was a brilliant idea you came up with," Young Hunter remarked.
"Thanks to you, we are not dehydrating," Young Blake added.
"Your welcome," Young Janessa beamed.
"There you are," a voice spokes up, startling young Blake, Hunter, and Janessa. They turned and saw Leanne walked over to them. "Janessa, you know you aren't supposed to be out here".
Janessa walked over to Leanne carrying the tray with the cups. "But..."
"No buts Janessa, get inside or else Dad with punish you," Leanna grabbed the tray from Janessa and then turned her attention on young Blake and Hunter "And why are two wet?" She asked, noticing their wet hairs.
"Uh," Young Blake and Hunter looked at each other for explanation.
"I spill water on them," Janessa confessed. "I didn't want them to get dehydrated".
Leanne smiles and touched Janessa's shoulder, "That's very nice of you and a smart thing you did for them". She turned to the boys "My dad wants me to tell you two that you're not punish no more".
"Really?" Young Hunter stares at Leanne surprised.
"Yes," Leanne replied.
Young Hunter and Blake got up and follow Leanne, passing by Hunter, Blake, and Tori, who was staring at them leaving.
"I guess they didn't saw us," Blake spokes out loud and Hunter nodded in agreement.
"What about her?" Tori points to Young Janessa, who haven't left yet and was staring straight at them.
"Can she see us?" Hunter asked as he was staring at Young Janessa, who started to walk toward them.
"I doubt it," Blake replied with uncertainly.
The surrounding around them started to change and they appear back in the hallway.
"We're back where we started," Tori looked around the place.
"Yeah, but we are not alone," Blake replied and Tori notices that he was staring at something so she looked at what he was looking at and saw Young Janessa standing in front of them.
"Janessa?" Hunter decides to walk up to her, saying her name.
"Hunter," She replied and receive a shock look from all three of them.
"You remember and know us," Blake asked, sounding shocked.
Young Janessa nodded "Oh course I do, you're my friend". She glances over at Tori. "But I don't know her".
"It's okay," Tori smile as she and Blake walked over to Young Janessa. "We haven't met before".
"Janessa, this is Tori, she's a friend," Blake introduced.
"Nice to meet you," Janessa said politely and Tori nods with a smile.
Hunter kneels down in front of Young Janessa and touches her shoulder. "We are here to rescue you," he told her.
"I know," she said as if she already knew.
"You do?" Tori stare at her confused.
"You're here to rescue the other me, I can help you find her". She told them.
"The other you?" Hunter said with a confused look.
"Yes the other me. She doesn't remember you guys and she's really in danger right now and need your help".
"Wait, that would mean you are part of Janessa that was missing. You are her memory" Blake finally realizes what Young Janessa was trying to tell them. "How come you didn't connect back to Janessa".
"I want to," She sadly looked down. "But I can't".
"Why not?" Tori asked.
"Something is keeping me from reaching to her," she told them.
"What is it?" Blake asked, wanting to know the answers.
Young Janessa shook her head. "I don't know".
"Don't worry, we'll help you get back to Janessa, but you have to show us where she is," Hunter placed his hand on her arm and gently squeeze it.
"Okay, follow me," Young Janessa led the way to a door. "In this door, you will find her".
Hunter reaches out and turned the door knob and the white shines out from it.

"Where are we now?" Blake looked around and notices they were in a forest.
"In the forest," Tori answered as she was also looking around.
"How are we supposed to find her here? Hunter turned to asked Young Janessa, but she wasn't there "Janessa?"
"She's gone," Tori says when she and Blake notices Young Janessa was not there with them. "Where did she go?" She questioned as Blake started to walk around, searching for Young Janessa.
"She was beside me and now she's not," Hunter answered with a hint of concern in his voice. He was worried that something bad has happen to her.
"Over here!" Blake shouted.
Tori and Hunter run over to where Blake was and was surprise to an unconscious injured Janessa laying against the tree.
Blake was already kneeling down beside Janessa, checking on her.
"How is she?" Hunter asked.
"She's badly hurt," Blake got up and walked over to his brother. "We need to get her out of here.
"First we need to find a safe place to band-aid her wound," Tori suggested.
"Tori is right," Hunter agreed and Blake quickly lift Janessa up, carrying her in his arms.
All three of them ninja streak away with Janessa.

At Ninja Ops, Cam was standing next to Janessa's body. Her face was pale then before.
"Is everything okay?" Shane asked.
Cam shook his head. "No," He was getting worried as he glances at Janessa. "Janessa's body is get pale and colder. Hunter, Tori, and Blake need to hurry fast. We are running out of time," he said.
Everyone look over at the computer at the time that was counting down.
"Come on Hunter you can do this," Shane thought to himself.
Marah notices Kapri, who was standing beside Hunter's body was worried and look like she was about to cry.
She walked over to her sister and touches her shoulder. "Hunter is going to make it back safe," She reassured her sister.
Kapri glances over at her sister and nodded, believing that Hunter would make it back. Then she looked over at Hunter's body.

Janessa woke up and sat up panicking. She swiftly looked around and notices Hunter, Blake, and Tori.
"It's okay Janessa. You are safe," Tori assures her, placing a hand on her shoulder to calm her down.
"How did I get here?" She looked over at her shoulder and notices that it was band aid up. "Where am I?"
"We are in a cave," Blake told her. "We found you unconscious in the forest so we brought you here".
"You save me? She slowly got up with the help of Tori and walked up to him and Hunter.
Hunter turned to her and nodded. "But we are not out of the wood yet?" He told her.
"What do you mean by that?" Janessa was slight confused with what Hunter was saying.
"He means that you are still in danger." Blake explained. He walked over to her and continues "We need to get you out of here or else you wouldn't survive."
"Are you saying that if I don't get out of here, I will die," Janessa was beginning to understand what Hunter and Blake was trying to say. "This place is not real, right?"
Blake nodded. "We are in your mind. One of Vexacus's monsters trapped you in your mind of your memories when it attacked you and it want to destroy you".
"That was why I was going through some memories that I don't remember," Janessa finally realizes what was happening. She clenches her fists. "Vexacus, I should have known that he would pull something like this". She snarled.
"You can deal with Vexacus later, but we need to get you out of here fast," Blake told her.
"Okay," Janessa agreed.
Hunter wanted to know something, but hesitating to ask Janessa about it.
"Hunter, are you alright," Tori asked, noticing that something was bothering the crimson ranger.
"I'm okay," He told her.
"You're worry about her, aren't you?" Blake knew full well what was bothering his brother. He too was worried for Young Janessa and wonders where she was.
Hunter nodded. "I'm worried that she might be in danger out there".
"I'm sure she's fine," Tori reassured Hunter even though she doesn't really know how young Janessa was.
Janessa was bit a confused at what they were talking about, but has a feeling that it was about her.
She was about saying something when a loud noise sounded outside the cave. All four of them turned toward the entrance of the cave.
"He found of us," Hunter stood in front of Janessa as Blake and Tori walked up beside him.
"Rangers hand over Janessa and I will let you go easy," The monster offered.
"No way," Hunter replied and Janessa looked over at him. "You're going to have to go through me to get to her.
"And us too," Blake agreed and Tori nodded.
"Very well," The monster snarled. "Then all of you shall die!" He blasts his energy beam at them.
Hunter shield Janessa and got blasts in the back while Blake grabbed Tori and duck out of the way.
"Hunter!" Janessa shouted as she holding him up with his arm wrapped around her shoulder.
The monster laughs. "I'll make sure that none of you make it out alive!"

"Hunter!" Kapri screamed when she notices that were blood dripping a little from his mouth and bruise were appearing on his face.
Cam and the others immediately ran over and check on Hunter, Tori, and Blake. Tori and Blake has bruises also on their faces.
"What happening?" Dustin asked.
The machine was suddenly beating loud.
"We need to get them out now," Cam went to his laptop and quickly type something on it.
"Hunter," Kapri was starting to tears up. "Please come back and wake up," She pleaded as Marah went over and hugged her.

Tori, Blake, Hunter and Janessa were running in the forest with the monster not far behind them.
Hunter stopped in his track and turned around facing the monster that were heading toward them.
"Hunter, what are you doing?" Blake yelled.
"You guys go ahead, I'll stay here and stop the monster," Hunter told them.
"Not without me, your not," Blake went over to his brother side. "Tori, get Janessa out of here".
"Not without you two," Tori refused to leave Hunter and Blake behind.
"Tori go now!"
"NO!"
"I'm not leaving either," Janessa said all of sudden and all three of them looked at her. "We stay together and fight till the end".
Knowing that he couldn't convince Tori and Janessa to leave, Hunter agreed and nodded his head. "Alright, we stick together and fight till the end".
All four of them get into their fighting stance when the monster shows up.
"Prepare to die!" the monster growls and blasts his energy beam at them.
Swiftly, Janessa snaps her fingers and her staff appears. She got in front of Hunter, Blake, and Tori and block the monster's energy beam when she got tosses back, slamming the back of her head against the tree.
"Janessa!" Tori run toward her as Blake and Hunter charges toward monster and fight.
Janessa grabbed the side of her head with her head. Her head was throbbing.
"Janessa, are you alright," Tori asked as she grabbed Janessa by the arms, steadying her.
Janessa cried out in pain as she was hit with images appearing in her mind. Tori notices a transparent image of young Janessa went into the Janessa.
"Could it be?" Tori wonders as she was holding Janessa/
"Janessa!" Blake and Hunter exclaimed as they fought off the monster.
The monster laughs and slashes Hunter and Blake in the chest. "Too late, you won't be able to save her!"
"We'll just see about that," said Blake, who got up and run over to monster, punching it in the stomach.
Hunter, who was still on the ground was about to get up when he notices Janessa's staff was on the ground was glowing.
He quickly grabbed it and aims it at the monster. "Blake, get out of the way!" he warned his brother.
Blake duck out of the way just in time as Hunter blasts the energy beam for Janessa's staff toward the monster.
"NOOO!" The monster yelled as the energy beam hit him, causing him to explode.
"We did it!" Blake said when he run over to his brother and stares at the staff.
"Blake, Hunter, come quick!" Tori called for them.
They rush over to Tori and found Janessa in her arms.
"Hunter, Blake," Janessa weakly said before she fainted.
"Janessa!" Blake and Hunter shouted.
Suddenly a white light surrounding them and they disappears.

"Hunter?" A voice called out for him. He slowly opens his eyes and saw Kapri was staring at him. Her face was concern and was calling out to him.
"Kapri?"
He suddenly realizes that he was back in Ninja Ops. He immediately sat up and slightly winces in pain from his injury.
"Kapri," He grabbed her arm. "Where..."
"You mean Blake, Tori, and Janessa, right?" She says and He nodded at her.
"They're fine," She reassured and moves out the way. He saw Blake and Tori were already awake and were sitting up staring at him.
Marah and Skyla were tending their wound. He was relieved to see them awake, but was concern when he saw Janessa was still lying in her cot asleep and not awake.
"Janessa?"
"She's resting right now. She didn't wake up right away, but Cam said she's going to be okay thanks to you, Blake and Tori". Kapri explained. "Cam, Shane, and Dustin left to go fight the monster that was in Janessa's mind. They are battling him the megazord",
Hunter sighs and relaxed, knowing that Janessa was fine. He then notices Kapri was looking down and tears were forming in her eyes.
"Kapri, are you alright?" He touches her cheek.
Before he knew it, she threw her arms around him and hugged him. "I was so scared that I wouldn't see you again," She cried.
"I'm sorry Kapri," Hunter hugged her back and smooths her back.
"I'm glad all three of you including Janessa has made it back safely," Sensei spokes up and Hunter, Blake, and Tori smiles at him.
TBC: Janessa is finally saved. The next chapter Janessa will reveal if she remember or not when she wakes up.
