Disclaimer: My first venture into the Power Ranger Fandom. I do not own Power Rangers other than my OC's. There will be slash in here. You get to guess whom! There is also the element of time travel and there will be flashback chapters (just as a warning if things get confusing). Obviously I have no BETA so I apologize for any grammatical mistakes in advance. WARNING: SLASH (BOYXBOY) in this fic. Griffin will be traveling back in time to when the Thunder and Wind Rangers have already become a Team and Cam has already gained his Samurai Powers.
This is the third of three chapters looking into the Rangers feelings concerning the disappearance of Griffin. Shane's reflections may be found in a future chapter. I am not sure as he was not present when it occurred. This one focuses on Cam.

Flashback (Recap)
Power Rangers Ninja Storm: Hurricane Chronicles
"I have gathered you three here… because the three of you must assume control of Griffin's lessons as Dustin's time with Griffin is coming to an end… His skills in Earth are sufficient for his cause and it is time he begins to train with the rest of you. Dustin has his own tasks to fulfill for the upcoming months. As you know Griffin was directed to search for Dustin's aid in his mission."
The group nods.
"Part of this aid must be in the form of Dustin furthering his own training. I cannot say for the powers of the Thunder Academy, but of the Wind Academy's powers, the Power of Earth is the most difficult to control.
For while water covers most of the Earth's surface, there I still a large amount of earth to wield. Your element comes in three states: solid, liquid, and gas. Shane's is almost always found as gas. Dustin's however as Earth comes in multiple forms and holds the most abundant element for the entire planet.
Air is what guides our actions. If one is clouded by jealousy or rage we are unable to control our actions. Earth is our heart and the strength it provides. It can be gentle or devastating. The sheer might of its power is frightening. And Water is our emotions. Water is the force behind our might."
The three Ninja Rangers sat in silence once more absorbing the knowledge. The Sensei also connected this logic to the layout and size of the Zords independently and as a Megazord.
"Griffin will study under Hunter next. Hunter will continue elemental training while Blake and the rest of you will teach him the other Ninja Arts."
Several more moments passed as Sensei Watanabe explain how each was important to Griffin's training. The assembled students and Sensei were thrown out of their thoughts when the door comes crashing down with a distraught and gaunt looking Hunter coming in.
"He's gone. He never came back last night! He said he was going out for a quick run."
"And you let him out?" asked Tori confused at the normally sane Hunter.
"He told me a few things I cant disclose at the moment, but he needed to blow off some steam. He told me to not bother waiting up and he never came back last night. Dustin is going to be so mad. I can't believe I did this."
'Oh Shit' was the collective thought through out the group including Sensei.
"I hope Dustin doesn't find out," Tori said before seeing the shifting eyes of her colleagues.
"What should I not find out about Tor?" Dustin asked.
"What the hell? Might as well get this over with. Griff's gone" Hunter replied smoothly hoping the brunette would let him off lightly.
"You're joking?"
"No Dusty he's gone."
"You, me, my room now!" he hollered leaving the others shocked as he stormed back out with Hunter following.
Sensei Watanabe began to reflect on the growing dynamic between the Crimson and Yellow Rangers. He also reflected on Tori's biggest fault which was currently once more showing itself.
Tori's inner Yaoi fan girl could not resist spying before Blake caught her by the back of her shirt. Several more moments passed with Tori and Blake giving ideas such as dates or blowing off steam. Cam received a fierce lecture from his father.
"Tor, I think we should go separate those two love birds in training before they either destroy the place in Dustin's rage or destroy the place in their pleasure and passion."
Tori agreed full heartedly and was the one to drag her secret but oh so obvious boyfriend out of the room.
Sensei Watanabe had a smile on his face. 'Young love' he thought as his mind trailed to thoughts concerning the two Blue Rangers.
"This is not your solely your fault Cameron. We all played at a part in it, including Griffin's. We shall wait out and see what happens before we make our next move."
"Yes father" he said bowing before leaving the room."
'Cameron you do not know how much more difficult you have made this mission.
I knew Griffin was supposed to be leaving… if he had the communicator I asked you to make on several different occasions he could have just said he had to leave town for a bit or we could have staged a kidnapping.
All is going according to plan albeit with a few bumps along the way' he thought.
Sensei Watanabe looked pensively once more with these thoughts fresh on his mind before returning to his little "Hamster Heaven" in hopes of easing the burden on his heart and mind.
Power Rangers Ninja Storm: Hurricane Chronicles
The Green Samurai Ranger left the room in a huff. He hated fighting with his father, but their argument had become more common and serious within the last few weeks. Ever since he received the Samurai Amulet things only seemed to get worse. And then Griffin showed up. All he needed now was an extremely bubbling Pink Ranger to join the team and he would be ready to explode.
At one point Cameron Watanabe would admit he did have a thing for Dustin, but the brunette's persona made him feel like a pedophile at times. His childish antics were cute at first, but grew annoying after some time. And was a leading cause of why the infatuation died down quickly. He now saw Dustin as the cute, attractive, and outgoing younger brother that he was highly possessive yet also jealous of. The whole Dustin thing was a disaster, but he was glad that the whole Hunter thing didn't break out. He knew was nothing-legit going on beyond the brunette and blonde despite their sexual tension.
Cam wanted to do something, but was afraid of being rejected. Part of him felt the pair were only being good friends in the way that only very old straight dudes very secure in their own sexuality are able to without getting accused of being gay, though these two were obviously crossing the line to everyone but themselves. Cam was at a crossroads and wanted to do something.
His father had always been a little over concerned and that was why the Wind Morphers were created. In essence it was also why old bunkers and the rest of the cave system hidden by the waterfall had become the space for Ninja Ops. Ever since the place was built he refused to sleep at his "father's house" within the Academy grounds. While Ninja Ops was still technically on the grounds, it was mainly of his creation so it felt more at home to him than the home he was raised in.
So as he slammed his door shut and plopped onto his bed, there was only one person on his mind. He debated for several moments about whether the timing was off or not, but in the end he decided it had to get done. He was only the messenger after all and it needed to be done today so he had little choice.
At first he was going to use his phone, but it felt so alien to him. He had never needed to use one before except for the rare ocassion. So instead he went to his computer monitor and activated the system (the whole monitor/ radio system he uses in the main chamber of Ninja Ops) in his room. He made sure to completely shut down Cyber Cam for the time being as well.
'A little porn will go a long way' he thought as he decided to side track his work first.
HE was stressed and decided it would not good to go about doing his job in a less than desirable mood. It was not like anyone needed him now and Lothor and Siren had been quiet so he could rub one out or maybe if he was lucky two.
'A good long soak in the tub with a few good toys could be fun. I'm glad I added that LCD in there last summer too! I think I still have the survailance films from the changing rooms!'
By this point Cam was worse than his Cyber counterpart. Cameron Watanabe only had one thing on his mind, and that was masturbating his worries away. Though it was highly unethical he had been recording his favorite Ranger shower and change. He knew no one would find out so he knew that he could get away with it without getting caught. Luckily that was the only area with secret cameras or he would have killed Dustin and Griffin by now hint hint for Dustin and Hunter spent a lot of time together in a certain room.
There was never a doubt in his mind that what he was doing was wrong as do him it was just yet another variety of Ranger Porn, except in this instance it was semi-live and using real Rangers, though he could have sworn he had seen some of those faces in non-porn related matters somewhere before.
So it took about three hours, but several orgasms later Cam was a refreshed man and a man on a mission for that matter.
Power Rangers Ninja Storm: Hurricane Chronicles
"Shane come in."
"Go for Shane."
"It looks like we have some problems."
"How so? Monster attack?"
"Nope even better."
"What then? I have to be on the ramp in a minute."
"Griffin is missing" Cam voiced with an evil cackle.
"I don't know about the plan any more Cam. He's not a bad guy. And as uncomfortable I feel around gay people, I don't want to see him get hurt, but more importantly I want Dustin to be happy."
"We had a deal Shane."
"My friendship with Dustin always comes first. And if you haven't already noticed it looks like they are already a couple. I said I would help you with Hunter if he were single, which he's not. I am not sacrificing my friendship with Dustin by possibly taking away his one ounce of happiness just so you can have a new fuck toy."
"Fine be that way."
"Maybe they aren't meant to be Cam. I have got to go. We can talk about this later. Give them some time. If they don't seem right together I will help you then. I won't break them up. Maybe you can be a rebound if they aren't meant to be? I don't know I really have to go."
"Fine."
"I'm sorry Cam."
"I'm sure you are."

Omake:Ninja Ops- Connects to the funny scene in Ch 5
Power Rangers Ninja Storm: Hurricane Chronicles
Cam was furious as could be. Cyber Cam was everything he wasn't; outspoken while he was quiet, smooth when he was awkward, and in while he was definitely not cool. But that wasn't the point.
And while he would never admit it, Cam always had a special spot in his heart for the bumbling Yellow Ranger. "Cub" was the affectionate term he had dubbed the motocross racer in his daily journal, which he unfortunately forgot to keep away from Cyber Cam. So now Cyber Cam was going to get some "well needed reprogramming." He saw the Yellow Ranger as someone who needed someone to take care of him. His lack of maturity and general intelligence was frightening to the Green Ranger. He had no problem taking "Cub" under his wing if necessary.
Cam wasn't really sure why he cared so much about Dustin. He knew that part of the time he saw himself in the brunette. As a child he was ridiculed and picked on, people on saw him for his exterior, no one bothered to see him on the inside. He just knew there was more to Dustin than his airhead persona…
"SO what's the dealio yo?"
"You know exactly what happened."
"Chill dude. Loosen up. You have nothing to worry about."
"Nothing to worry about? You read my JOURNAL!"
"Technically its OUR journal."
"That's besides the point. They other's can't know! I am not ready to tell HIM! And you didn't help the matter either!"
"Well calling him Cub doesn't help ya dude."
"YOU WERE THE ONE TO CALL HIM THAT INFRONT OF THE OTHERS! Not that it really matters."
"So? It's not like anyone connected the dots. He's a lion. He's younger than you and the least mature of the Rangers. Young lions are cubs. No biggie dude. Chill!"
"I don't even know if I love him. It's just his smile… his infectious laugh…"
"You're in denial!"
"Am NOT!"
"Are too!"
"Stop stalling and get out there and find him man. Then you can save him and he can be your bitch dude."
"Like that would ever happen."
"That's right you want to be HIS bitch."
Cam blushed and was too speechless to come up with a witty response.
"Dude you'll never know until you try!! Now if we're finished I need to get back to the Ranger Porn of yours. That new DVD you got was hott."
Silence on Cam's end.
"Why does it not surprise me you got one with an Asian dude, a tall blonde surfer type, and a brunette? And they all resemble certain people if I am correct too!"
More silence.
"I don't mind the lack of chicks… but could you get some with bigger dicks? Or like some other stuff? This one is almost like you took a hidden video camera and filmed it in a locker room. If I'm tasting every flavor in the rainbow I might as well try them all."
Cam blushed.
"Why isn't there a Black or Pink Ranger? Though Blake and Hunter can fill those rules respectively. Navy is like Black. And like Pink is only a shade of Red so like I guess I like answered my own like question" Cyber Cam went off in a Valley Girl Voice.
"Is this a hint you want a Black on Pink movie?"
"No I was just wondering. I find it odd the Thunder Academy gave them non standard Ranger colors, but anyways I want a Red on Pink on Yellow movie with at least some dude on chick. While I appreciate the male body, I can only take so much sausage."
"Any preference on the female?"
"Pink or Red. Yellows tend to boring unless if male and then they're so cute it hurts."
"I get the picture."
"I'll see you when you need me next. It's time for me to get my groove on!!"
Cam was left alone, horny, and ashamed. Cyber Cam needed a major software upgrade. And he needed to put in another order of Ranger Porn (of the desired varierty) or he knew his Cyber counterpart would leak more embarrassing info.
Cam was just very happy that Cyber Cam had not leaked anything about Hunter. The Asian computer genius may have had a small crush on Dustin, but it was way different with Hunter. It was more like a full blown obsession.
He put his mind on the porn Cyber Cam projected on the screen. The images allowed him to sit back, relax, and distress while doing his favorite activity in his favorite chair. Life was good despite the bumps along the way. This was his favorite DVD by far. The blonde was aggressive, the brunette and nymphomaniac submissive, and the Asian was in complete control of the other.
'I think I am going to need another box of tissues, some batteries, and a bottle of lotion soon. These last few weeks have been so HARD on me. I feel like I've been WORKING non-stop' thought Cam completely indulged in his favorite non-profitable or productive activity.
Little did he know, but his secret was not as big a secret as he thought…

Author's Note
Don't you love how the same Dustin-Griffin scene can be played out and get better each time?
Sensei Watanabe is definitely up to something!! This one was super short as I didn't want Cam coming off a whiny brat too much. So in the end I went with a short chapter and a funny omake. Hope y'all enjoyed it.
And like the end of the chapter itself was kind of an omake too! I love poking fun at Cam and his Ranger Porn obsession!
Sorry to do this to y'all again, but chapters will start to slow down even more than I originally anticipated as I am working a lot more hours than I originally anticipated. I think I will be pushing out three every two weeks more or less. More than likely it will be once a while for a few weeks. I REALLY DIDN'T MEAN FOR THIS TO TAKE SO LONG BUT A LOT HAS COME UP AT HOME AND I HAVE BEEN WORKING A LOT TOO!! I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOO SORRY!!
Mini Poll
Morphing Sequence
Anyone with better ideas because I'm at the point where I'm ready to go back to the basics such as:
"IT'S MORPHIN' TIME: SIREN!"
"IT'S MORPHIN' TIME: PINK RANGER POWER!"
Siren only said Pink Ranger power before as to acknowledge she had a Morpher. Siren and the others can easily shift into their powers like the SPD A-Squad, but they only do it for dramatics so the Rangers realize they aren't ordinary villains. They are so confident in their power that they flaunt it like any good villain lol!
I came up with a new one I'm slightly more happy with:
"Execute: Elemental Beast Revolution"
-Griffin
