REVIEW!
"I don't want to face them right now Whit." Brittany sighed.
"Britt, it's been hard since we found out Sensei was killed, but they had nothing to do with it." Whitney argued; "We have to stop avoiding them."
"But..." Brittany began, but gave up; "You're right. Hey, you think we can stop by Storm Chargers? I need some new gloves."
"Sure why not." Whitney shrugged. They went inside and heard some conversation a man had with Dustin.
"Maybe another time, I'm looking for three guys in particular. I hear they ride at the local track sometimes." the man said.
"Oh don't tell me, um, one big guy, one not so big guy, a little guy, all three insanely fast." Dustin said.
"So you know them?" the man asked, hopeful.
"Blake, Hunter, and Britt?" Tori asked; "You could say we know them."
"Then you could tell me where to find them." he pressed on.
Tori's smile faded; "I really wish I could."
"Yeah, she does dude trust me, she's um got this thing for-" Dustin began.
"Don't go there." Tori cut in.
"Oh, one of them's here now!" Dustin said, noticing the twins; "Whitt, Britt, get over here."
"This is Britt?" the man asked, holding out a hand.
"Brittany, actually." the brunette replied, shaking his hand.
"My name is Roger Hannah, I'm the team manager of Factory Blue." he smiled at her; "I heard you're pretty fast on the track."
"You could say that." Brittany nodded, losing interest.
"I was wondering if maybe you would like to meet later and maybe join up with us." Roger said.
Brittany looked at her sister and then back to the man; "I have time to think about it don't I?"
"Yeah, sure." Roger nodded; "I only need your answer when I get the other guys' answers too."
"Other guys?" Whitney asked.
"A couple of men named Hunter and Blake." Roger answered. He turned back to Dustin and handed him a card; "Well here's my card. If you run into them have them call me. It's important. Later."
"Well that was a waste of time." Whitney noted, and the two walked off to find gloves.
"Wow, can you believe Roger Hannah-" Dustin began, then noticed Tori was no longer standing beside him, but adjusting his Dirt Bike; "
"Hey what're you doing?" Dustin asked.
"I'm borrowing your bike." Tori shrugged.
"No, you see the way this works is that you ask me first and I think for about like half a second and then tell you that the only way I would let you ride my race bike is if you tied me down and tortured me." Dustin told her.
"Do you really want it to come to that?" Tori asked.
"Tori, I just did a prep, okay? It's perfect."
"Look, I really miss Blake, and riding makes me think like he's still around. Tori frowned; "Since Cam keeps the Tsunami cycles under lock and key, this is as close as it gets." She gave him a puppy dog look; "Please."
"Alright, fine. But if you bend the bars, or if you break the shifters off, you have to-" Dustin began.
"Fix it." Tori nodded; "I know." She rolled the bike away before he could change his mind.
Whitney and her sister walked out of the shop; "I can't believe you got asked to ride for Factory Blue! That's an amazing opportunity."
"Yeah, too bad I'm not gonna take it."
"Why not?" Whitney asked, stopping dead in her tracks.
"C'mon Whitt, I'm not going anywhere until Lothor is destroyed, and even after we destroy him I don't wanna go. You know I only ride for fun." Brittany shot.
"Maybe its time to change that Britt." Whitney sighed; "We can't live on the past."
"I'm not living on the past Whitt." Brittany snapped; "I've always wanted to teach at the Academy and you know that, I don't want my riding interfering with that."
"Who says you can't do both?" Whitney asked as she walked away, but she turned around and headed back inside the shop; "I need a new jacket."
"You sure he said here?" Hunter asked.
"Yeah. Maybe he forgot or got lost." Blake shrugged; "He's not technically an intelligent lifeform. I don't think..."
Choobo materialized out of nowhere, and slid down the slope.
"Come on, get up." Blake instructed.
"Alright, we're here just like you said. This had better be worth the hike." Hunter glared.
"Oh, it will be. You see, I've made a life altering decision that will affect the entire balance of power in the universe!" Choobo exclaimed.
"Are you for real?" Blake asked.
"I've decided to leave Lothor's army." Choobo explaimed.
"Leave?" Blake rose an eyebrow.
"Deffect, turn over a new leaf, go to the light side." Choobo nodded.
"Who says the light side will want you?" Hunter snorted.
"Because bitter ex- employees have all sorts of information. Classified files, secret passwords to get in places... get it?" Choobo said persuasively.
"Like Lothor's ship!" Blake blurted.
"Hmm, possibly." Choobo nodded; "I'm also close do finding out the Cosmic's identities..."
"Then we can find out who keeps calling us creepers." Blake nodded.
"Whats in it for you?" Hunter asked.
"Like I said, I'm bitter and I want payback for all the nasty things they said about me." Choobo scowled; "What do you say?"
The twins walked back into the shop and were greeted by Dustin; "Hey girls, did you forget something?"
"Naw, I need a new jacket, the skate park gets a bit chilly and I like the heat." Whitney answered, the last words trying to imply something, but Dustin didn't get it.
"Ugh, its always warm here Whit." Brittany rolled her eyes, also trying to imply something; "It needs to be colder."
Just then Shane walked into the shop; "Dude, I just saw Tori out front-"
"Loading my pride and joy into the back of her van. I know." Dustin frowned.
"You never even let me ride that thing." Shane protested.
"Well she hits harder than you." Dustin explained.
"I probably hit harder than she does." Brittany grinned. The twins walked away to look at jackets.
"Who hits harder than Tori?" Shane asked.
"Blake and Hunter... and the Cosmics probably." Dustin answered.
"Cosmics..." Shane thought; "Which reminds me, we haven't seen those two in a while."
"Why would they stick around dude?" Dustin asked; "Its not like they're officially part of our team."
"Yeah..." Shane began. The twins heard this; "But I just wish they would tell us who they are you know? Guessing sucks."
"Maybe one day dude." Dustin chuckled. The twins came back and Whitney held out a jacket; "Dude, this is like a winter jacket!"
"My sister gets cold." Brittany stuck her tounge out at her twin.
"I don't get it Britt. How can you wear tank tops all day and be fine?" Whitney asked, annoyed;
"Cause I'm special, and I like the cold." Brittany answered, smiling.
"And you two are twins?" Dustin asked, laughing.
"I know, its a mystery." Whitney shrugged. She checked the time; "Well we gotta jet, c'mon Britt. Later guys."
They began walking home through the forest when they heard voices. When they checked it was Blake and Tori.
"I don't like you anymore." Tori said with a smile on her face; "And I'm not talking to you ever again."
"Oh yeah? Even if I had a way to get into Lothor's ship?" Blake shot back.
"You trust him?" Brittany asked.
"He seems sincere." Whitney nodded; "Follow them just in case."
They followed Blake when Tori left and kept walking behind him silently until he met with Hunter.
"We should ask them straight on." Whitney nodded. They morphed quickly and stepped up to the Bradleys; "Creepers, we need to have a word with you."
"I knew there was someone following me." Blake huffed; "What?"
"We heard you talking to the blue one." Silver said; "Spill your plan."
"We don't need to tell you anything." Hunter scoffed.
"As long as we were chosen to protect this city we require all your information." Gold said; "Please, we need to know."
"Alright, Choobo told us to go talk to him in the desert." Hunter explained; "When we got there he told us that he wanted to leave Lothor's army."
"He said he had a way for us to get on the ship so we can stop Lothor." Blake continued.
"Go on." Gold said, completely interested.
"We're going up to the ship to check things out, and if we find anything we'll call you and the Winds in for backup." Hunter finished.
"One of us should go with you." Silver spoke up; "I trust Choobo as much as I trust you."
"We swear upon our dead parents, we're not gonna try anything." Blake said.
"I'm with Silver." Gold said anyway; "Choobo is the ugly green one right? He's one of Lothor's high ranking officers, he wouldn't leave."
"He said he wanted revenge for all the bad things they said about him." Hunter shot back.
"But Hunter, if he wanted revenge wouldn't he have just gone after Lothor himself? That sounds like an easier plan if you ask me." Silver shook her head.
"Fine, go up there, but the second something goes wrong call us in." Gold sighed; "And be careful up there." The Bradleys smiled; "And wipe those grins off your face, we're still gonna be watching you."
The Cosmics walked back and streaked off. Blake turned to his brother; "The faster we do this the faster we find out who those freaks are."
"Thats the part I'm looking forward to." Hunter grinned.
ugged the kit outside to find Dustin's racing bike.
Hunter and Blake found themselves in Lothor's ship once again.
"Hi guys!" Choobo smiled, putting his hands on both of their shoulders. They flipped him to the ground but helped him to his feet.
"Thats what you get for sneaking up on people!" Hunter huffed.
"Sorry." he said.
"Dude, you really need to work on your Entrances." Blake grimaced.
"Follow me! He's taking a nap." Choobo said, waiting for the plan to take action.
They entered the chamber to see Lothor snoozing on his chair in the center of the room.
"We'll take it from here." Hunter said to Choobo.
"Fine by me." he stepped back.
"He's out like a light." Blake whispered as they approached Lothor; "Careful."
Lothor snapped up from his nap; "Surprise! Don't just stand there! The beam!"
Hunter and Blake was trapped in some sort of ray.
"Never trust an evil space Ninja!" Lothor grinned wickedly.
"Hello!" Choobo called to the Rangers; "Hey! Hello in there! Anybody home! Candygram for Mister Ranger: Mister Thunder Ranger!"
"Well done Choobo!" Lothor grinned; "Or should I say, General Choobo!"
"General?" he asked; "Did you say General Choobo? I can't believe it!"
"That makes it two of us." Zurgane growled from the background.
"Yes Choobo, you're the only one around here that truley understands." Lothor explained; "Now, tell me the rest of your plan."
"The rest? Uh, I kinda thought that was it. I mean I'm going into overtime on this one as it is." Choobo shrugged.
"Choobo... I'm waiting." Lothor smirked, thinking Choobo was just hiding the brilliance.
"We fill them full of candy and turn them into Piñatas." Lothor gave him a look; "Alright, scratch that. How about this? We erase their memory... no, give them new memories. Put an alien mind warp on them and just make them think that the Wind Rangers and Cosmic Rangers are their sworn enemies." Choobo suggested.
"Thats ridiculous. They've failed us enough." Zurgane argued; "Let's send them adrift in space for all eternity."
"No..." Lothor said; "I like it. It's clean, simple to the point. Let's go with it."
"Have you ever noticed that General Choobo is kind of a babe?" Marah asked Kapri.
"Don't even think about it Marah, he's mine and I don't share." Kapri rolled her eyes.
Dustin noticed Roger Hannah talking to Hunter and Blake in the back and walked up to them; "So what, did you guys sign? Factory Blue that's crazy."
Just then the twins walked into the shop and sighed.
"Did you sign Britt?" Dustin asked.
"I asked him for some more time." Brittany shrugged, she noticed Hunter and Blake standing there and looked away.
"We'll catch you later." Hunter said, heading for the door.
"Wait, you guys wanna hang? We got these new rubber stop triple clamps in." Dustin smiled.
"We'll pass." Blake said.
"You two okay?" Whitney asked; "You're acting a bit odd."
"Tired." Blake answered, and they walked away.
"What about... Don't you guys think we have some things we need to talk about?" Dustin called as they headed out the door, but no answer came; "That was strange."
"A bit too strange don't you think Britt?" Whitney asked, and her twin nodded; "We're off too, we'll see ya later."
"Bye." Dustin smiled to her as they walked out.
"Something happened when they left. Its obvious." Brittany noted; "They weren't acting like this earlier."
"All I know, is that they pretended the trip to the Cavern of Lost Spirits never happened." Whitney shrugged.
"Should we tell the Winds?" Brittany asked.
"Naw, Dustin's got it under control." Whitney smiled; "He has the cutest dimples ever."
"Ooh, you got it bad." Brittany laughed; "But remember, world first boys later."
"Right." Whitney smiled, giving her a fist pump; "Guess what, I got us some zords."
"Took you long enough." Brittany giggled; "What are they?"
"The Gold Desert Fox Zord, and the Silver Arctic Fox Zord." Whitney answered proudly; "The desert fox had big ears, but the arctic fox has a cute nose."
"Only you Whitt." Brittany rolled her eyes. Suddenly they felt their morphers beep; "Ready?"
"Cosmic Storm! Ranger Form! HA!"
"Power of Flame!"
"Power of Frost!"
They got their at the same time the others did.
"Huh? I don't see anything." Shane gaped, looking around.
"I hate to bring it up, but this is always how it starts." Tori replied. Fog formed and they were randomly slashed by a monster, sprawling onto the floor; "I rest my case."
"You jinxed us big time." Silver huffed.
"Well, if it isn't the world famous Power Rangers." Toxipod sneered; "You know, you look taller on T.V"
"Cause maybe we're on the floor in pain?" Gold asked.
"Anyone ever tell you you look uglier in person?" Dustin shot.
"What is this? Attack of the Giant Snail?" Tori commented.
"Imagine?" Silver asked; "We can feed a hundred people with this amount of food."
"Not a problem." Shane said, whipping out his Ninja Sword. Electricity hit them from the sky, sending them flying once again.
"Hey! Remember us?" Blake called."
"Its hard to forget, creepers." Gold answered.
"You guys?" Dustin asked.
"What're you doing?" Tori shouted.
"Yeah!" Shane cried.
The two jumped down and charged at the five.
"Holy crap. Brain fade much?" Silver smirked.
"I agree." Gold nodded.
Shane held his hand out as Blake attacked him with his antlers; "Blake stop!"
"Not until you're destroyed!" Blake shot back, pushing him to a wall.
Shane bounced back and charged at the Navy Ranger; "I don't wanna fight you!"
"You don't have a choice!" Blake growled, knocking him into a wall once again.
"Not that again!" Gold smirked. She pushed Navy off and kicked him backwards into the air, slashing at him until they reached a fence and pushed him into it.
Hunter thought he outsmarted the Yellow Ranger, almost slashing his shoulder; "Time to split!" The Yellow Ranger did split and cartwheeled away.
"Your tricks can't fool me!" Hunter laughed. He was slashed from behind and faught back as Silver tried knocking him down. The two Dustins came back, and the three slashed him at once.
"NINJA POWER!" The Crimson suit fell to the ground empty.
Dustin 1 picked it up, frowning; "Aw man, that was my move!"
"Its his now." Silver laughed.
"Where'd he go?" Dustin 2 asked. A giant Crimson boot knocked him to the ground; "I think I found him."
"Gimme five down low Dustin!" Hunter grinned, smooshing his palm down onto Dustin's clone.
"Okay, not a problem." Dustin 2 replied.
"No problem for you, but I'm gonna kill him cause of that." Gold said, popping out of nowhere. She ran up and slashed Hunter down, but he got back up and round house kicked her.
"Gold!" Silver cried as her partner hit the floor.
"I'm just getting warmed up." Crimson laughed.
"Maybe a nice shower will cool you off." Tori pondered, and she hosed him.
"Thunder Shield!" he shouted, reflecting it back to her.
"Freeze!" Silver shouted. The water froze in mid air before it hit Tori.
"Tori you okay?" Shane asked as the Wind Rangers regrouped, the Cosmics standing ahead of them to guard them; "Watch out!"
"Lets finish this." Blake said, cracking his knuckles.
"Crimson Blaster!" Hunter shouted, blasting at them. With quick thinking, Gold sent out a fire ball which intercepted with the blast, and the other three jumped to safety.
"Wait, come back." Toxipod said to the other three; "I'm just getting gassed up."
"Come on! Let's get this over with!" As Hunter was about to run and finish the Cosmics, but Blake doubled over in pain; "Hey, what's the matter?"
"I don't know." Blake groaned.
"They're getting away." Hunter frowned, as the Cosmics gave up on them and streaked off; "Let's go."
"I can't." Blake frowned.
The three Wind Rangers kept running to get away from Toxipod.
"Where are we going? Dustin asked.
"Away from that stanky smell!" Shane replied.
"Works for me!" Tori nodded.
"You can never get away from my furious fumes rangers!" Toxipod screeched; "This gas is a total blast."
"This guy's stinking up my whole day!" Shane exclaimed.
"Let's put the wind in Wind Rangers!" Shane yelled.
"Oh yeah, like I'm afraid of wind!" Toxipod said sarcastically.
"Then come on down!" Shane called.
"Unless you're too chicken!" Tori taunted.
"Don't be shellfish!" Dustin said, banging pans together.
"Oh, it is soo on!" it frowned, attacking the Wind Rangers. They were able to destroy it using the Storm Striker, but he came back huge.
They formed the Storm Megazord, and were shortly joined by the Cosmic Megazord, ho was both Gold and Silver.
"Welcome back." Shane nodded.
"Lets finish off the seafood so I can go home." Gold said to them. They helped the Wind Rangers defeat the snail creature and the Thunders formed their own megazord.
"Aw great." Shane sighed; "The bugs are back."
"Hey... whats the matter?" Blake asked, as his brother pulled off to the side.
"I feel weird, why are we fighting?" Hunter grumbled.
"I feel it too." Blake nodded.
"Where am I?" Hunter paused. Two pink rays shot out of the sky hitting Hunter and Blake, and they suddenly went tough again. "What was I thinking?"
"Yeah, let's crush them!" Blake agreed.
"I knew it." Silver grumbled.
"Oh! This is actually working!" Choobo yelled; "I hope you like the beach, cause that's where you're headed!"
"What's happening?" Tori asked as parts of her disappeared.
"Not us!" Hunter frowned.
"Let go!" Gold cried, trying to fight it.
"I guess I forgot to tell you the rest of my plan!" Choobo shouted; "My bad."
"The Storm Megazord and the Cosmic Megazord are offline." Cam panicked; "They'res no one on board."
"Are you able to locate the Rangers?" Sensei asked.
"No, It's like they vanished into thin air! Like they were never even there!" Cam exclaimed.
Shane woke up and pulled himself to his feet, noticing he was on some beach; "Hello? Guys? Where Am I?"
He looked around, but found that no one was there.
