Cam took his Samurai Star Helicopter to his destination. Cyber Cam was with the Rangers, and help them. On Lothor's ship, Lothor was watching his nephew, and Shimazu knew that the Green Ranger had discovered the secret in defeating the Wolf Blades. Shimazu went to a forest, and called up his Wolf Blades. Once they were together, the Wolf Blades became one huge monster, and did a surprise attack on Cam. The Samurai Star Chopper went down, and Cam had to leave his zord. At Ninja Ops, Cyber Cam sent out the zords, and the Rangers left to fight off the Wolf Blades. Crystal stayed at Ninja Ops since there were no Kelzaks. Cam was in a forest that his zord crashed into.

"I'm tired of getting dogged by those mutts," he said. "Super Samurai Mode!"

Cam took off his armor, and flipped his helmet.

"The portal has got to be here somewhere," he said.

Cam then used Ninja Speed to locate the portal.

"Okay everyone," said Shane. "Since we don't have our powers, we can't take any direct hits."

"Is that suppose to cheer us up?" asked Tori. "Cause its not working."

"Just be careful," said Shane.

"How about we just blow this, and go home," said Dustin.

Tori led off the first attack.

"Over here in the flying fish!" she yelled.

Tori was able to do some damage with her Dolphin Zord. Shane then attacked the Wolf Blades.

"Haven't you heard?" he said. "Bird's the word."

Shane was able to do a lot of damage to the Wolf Blades, and the next one to attack was Blake and Hunter.

"Yo. What up dogs," said Blake. "Meet the Beetles."

While everyone else was busy fighting the Wolf Blades, Cam finally found the portal. He entered the portal, and saw a machine where Cam had to put in the power discs. At Ninja Ops, Crystal kept pacing around the room, making Cyber Cam nervous.

"What's up?"

"Its just...I'm going to be leaving soon," she said.

"That sucks," he said. "But you are coming back, right?"

"I don't think I'll be able to come back," she said, with a sad look on her face.

"Why not?"

"Because once I step through the portal, I'm home for good," she said. "I can't come back here. Once I'm gone from here, I'm gone for good. The portal will reopen, and will only be opened on the day it reopens. Once its closed, it won't open again."

"That's depressing," he said. "What about Hunter? Did you tell him yet? And everyone else?"

"Well, Cam already knows," she said. "But, I'm not sure how to tell the others."

"When does it reopen?"

"It opens..."

The Rangers were getting beaten hard by the Wolf Blades. They hope that Cam would come fast, so they could use their powers to defeat the Wolf Blades. All of a sudden, a sound of an electric guitar being played could be heard. The Rangers looked around, and saw Cam playing with the new weapon, that looked like a guitar.

"I call it the Lightning Riff," he said. "It summons the might Mammoth Zord."

Cam played the Riff once more, and the Mammoth Zord appeared. The Rangers then got their power discs back, and morphed. Once they morphed, they activated the Mammoth's Zords Power. All of the power spheres that they used in their previous battles appeared, and out came their weapons. They came together, and were able to destroy the Wolf Blades.

Everyone was down at the studio where the talent show was being held. Even Cam entered the show. He brought over an electric guitar. Hunter kept looking around, trying to find Crystal.

"You alright, bro?" Blake asked.

"Yeah," he said. "Just wondering where Crystal is. I thought she was going to enter. If not, I thought she would come down, and support us."

"She'll show up," Shane said. "C'mon. The show is about to start."

Everyone got to their seats, and the talent show begun. The first one to go was Tori, who did a dance. Next was Shane, who did singing. The next one was Dustin, and played his sax. The next one was Cam, and played some guitar solos. After Cam was Blake and Hunter, with Blake on the turntables, and Hunter rapping. Once they were done, they were surprised to hear who was up next.

"Crystal?!" exclaimed Hunter.

Crystal was up, with an acoustic guitar in her hand. She sat down, and spoke into the mic.

"This is a song I wrote myself," she said, smiling. "It's called 'True Love.' "

Crystal played, and sang her song.

Chorus
My heart is empty without you
True love is where my heart goes
True love...is what I follow...
True love...

Verse 2
I won't let you leave me
I won't love anyone else
A true friend...is what I need
True love...is what you need

Bridge
A true friend helps me all the time
A true friend is always there for me

Verse 3
You'll never leave me
You'll never forget me
You'll always be...my true friend
Baby...Oh Baby...
Don't leave me...

Crystal finished, and looked up at the audience. Her eyes were fixed on Hunter, who just smiled at her. Crystal got up, and sat next to him.

"That was amazing," Tori said. "You wrote that yourself?"

"Yes," she said. "Back when I was in 8th grade."

"Its really good," said Blake. "I can't believe you can sing and play guitar at the same time. I know I can't do that."

"You were great, Crystal," Hunter said, kissing her on the cheek. "You have an amazing voice."

"Thanks," she said. "Guys. There's something I have to tell you."

"What is it?" Shane asked.

"I...I'm going back home," she said.

"That's great," Tori said. "You'll be able to see your family and friends again."

"Just make sure that you visit us," said Dustin.

"You don't understand," Crystal said, frowning. "Once I go back home...I can't come back. Once the portal is closed, its closed. It won't open again."

"When do you leave?" Hunter asked.

"Tonight."

Author's Note: Hope you enjoyed reading this as much as I did working on this. Ninja Storm is my favorite season of Power Rangers of all. "True Love" is a song that I myself wrote. And I actually did write the song in 8th grade. I thought the song would be perfect for Crystal since Crystal is leaving, and that she really loves Hunter. The song is played along with an acoustic guitar. I was thinking of how the song should go while playing with my guitar. So, hope you enjoyed it. And now for Chapter 18. The last chapter in "Thunder Love."
