After the talk with Hunter, Crystal decided to do some training. She thought that the more she trained, the stronger she could get. Sensei told her that training isn't a bad thing, but good to keep up your Ninja Powers. She was often seen by the lake training with Hunter. Cam also trained with them. Tori, Shane and Dustin were too busy preparing for the talent show coming up.
One day, Crystal went to the spot where she was brought. She remember seeing a portal at her friend's house, and she stepped into it. Once she stepped into it, she was brought here. She didn't know if the portal was going to open again. Once the portal was closed, it won't open again. Once its closed, its closed forever. She hoped that it would remain close. She really enjoyed being here. She made really good memories here. She didn't want to leave because of all the times she spent here. But, Crystal knew the portal would open again. She knew when it was going to open. It was a feeling Crystal had. Crystal had a tough choice to make. Half of her wants to go home, but the other half of her wants to stay here.
"Hey."
Crystal turned around, and saw that it was Cam.
"Hey, Cam," she said. "Need anything?"
"Not really," he said. "I just wanted to see if you were alright."
"No...I'm not," she said with her back facing him. "Remember that I came here by a portal?"
"Yes," he said. "I remember. Why?"
"I...know when its going to open again," she said.
"You do?" he asked. "You can go home then."
"You make it sound like you don't want me here," she said.
"I didn't mean like that, Crystal," he said. "I just thought that you would be excited that you would be able to go home."
"Yeah. It would be nice," she said. "But then that means that I have to leave you and everyone else behind."
"Oh," he said. "I guess you're right. But, do you want to go home, Crystal?"
"I don't know," she said. "Half of me wants to go home, but the other half wants to stay here."
"When is the portal going to open again?"
"It's going to open..."
At Storm Chargers, Dustin, Shane, Blake and Hunter were working. Tori was sitting in the lounge area, watching some tv. They all decided to take a break from all the practicing they had for the talent show. Tori, Shane, and Dustin didn't know what Blake and Hunter were doing for the talent show though. They decided to keep it a secret from them. They also weren't sure if Cam and Crystal were entering the show as well. They won't know until the day of the talent show, or when they decide to tell them.
"Hey. How's Crystal doing?" Blake asked Hunter.
"She seems to be doing fine," he said.
" 'Seems to be?' Is she doing fine or not?" Blake asked again.
"I don't know. She wasn't herself yesterday though," Hunter said. "I guess she's just busy, and stressed out from all the training."
"Yeah," Blake said. "We keep training every day, and our only break is Motocross."
"Yeah. My break is skateboarding," Shane said.
"And my break is surfing," Tori said.
"And my break is with you guys," Dustin said. "Motocross is my break as well."
"What about Crystal and Cam?" Shane asked. "Do they have any breaks?"
"Cam is also improving the zords," Tori said. "While Crystal...well. She keeps training, and stops when night comes."
"Hey! I don't keep training till night. I go out to the beach for breaks."
Everyone turned around, and saw that Crystal came in.
"I don't always keep training," she said. "The sound of the ocean makes me calm. I like going down to the beach. The water is soothing. I like to swim as well to get rid some of my stress."
"Hey. Feeling any better?" Hunter asked.
"Huh?"
"Well, yesterday, you didn't seem like yourself," Hunter said. "I thought at that time that maybe you weren't feeling well, or if you were under a lot of stress."
"Oh," she said. "I'm feeling well."
"Good," Hunter said smiling.
"How's everything going?" she asked. "I mean, with all of you practicing for the talent show. How's it all going?"
"Its going well," Shane said. "Are you going to be in the talent show as well?"
"I'm not sure," she said. "I haven't come up with what I should do for the show."
"You'll think of something," Tori said. "It would be nice to see a talent that we haven't seen before."
"Yeah," Dustin said. "That would be awesome."
"I'll think about it," she said smiling.
After that, everyone went back to work. Tori went down to the beach to go surfing, and Crystal decided to go with Tori as well. While Tori was out surfing, Crystal kept thinking about the day when she would return home. If she went home, then she would have to leave everyone behind. If she didn't go, she could stay at Ninja Ops forever. But if she didn't go back home, then the portal would close, and there would be no other way for her to see her family and friends again.
Crystal then thought about the talent show. She still wasn't sure if she should enter or not. If she did, then she would have to find something that she's good at. And it would have to be fast because the talent show is just in a few days.
Then, her morpher went off.
"What is it, Cam?"
"Crystal. Get everyone at Ninja Ops," he said. "I've found a way that could defeat Shimazu's Wolfblades."
"Got it."
Crystal yelled out to Tori, and then contacted everyone else. Everyone else used their Ninja Powers to teleport back to Ninja Ops.
"You are all probably wondering why I called you hear," Cam said. "Dad. I think its time to open that box I retrieved from the museum."
"Say no more, Cam," Sensei said.
"Finally," Shane said. "We get to find out what's in that box."
"Anyone want to take bets on what's in it," Hunter said.
"Maybe a sword," Dustin said. "Or a cool fighting staff."
"I wouldn't get your hopes up," Crystal told them.
Cam took out the box, and unlocked it. Once he opened it, everyone was depressed to see what it was.
"Great. Just what we need," Tori said. "Another ancient scroll."
"Told you not to get your hopes up," Crystal said. "But I wouldn't be disappointed about it. An ancient scroll did help you out before when you lost your powers."
"That's true," Hunter said. "Cam didn't use that scroll, the planet would've been taken over by now."
"It says that I'll be needing your power discs," Cam said.
"What?" Tori said.
"Your power discs," he said. "You can still operate the zords, you just won't be in your Ranger form. I'll be back with them."
"What about me?" Crystal asked.
"It doesn't say anything about a 7th disc," he said. "You created yours. Our morphers were passed down generation to generation. You just created your morpher. So, I guess you are the only one that will be in your ranger form."
"Alright," Shane said. "Crystal. Let us know when you need help. Just because you are the one that can be in Ranger form doesn't mean that you get to fight alone. We're a team, and we work together."
"Right."
Everyone took off their power discs, and handed them to Cam. Cam then morphed, and headed out to the location that holds the power to defeat the Wolfblades...
