Chapter 3
Rewind- Back to Tori and Alexis after they left.

Alexis and Tori ran for Alexis's jeep. Well, more like Alexis ran and dragged Tori along. Alexis threw her bags in the back an hopped in the drivers seat. After she and Tori were safely strapped in she sped into the Blue Bay Harbor traffic

"So, what's the plan?" Tori asked.

"Well, I would like to go the mall, but I know you well enough to know that's not quite your social setting."

"Hey!"

"Not an insult."

"I'm not that bad." she defended herself.

"Oh, please." Alexis rolled my eyes.

"Oh, shut up" Tori retorted

"Lets just go to the beach. You can show me some of those awesome Blue Ranger moves." Alexis said with a smile.

Tori practically choked. Alexis pulled to the side of the rode to make sure she was ok. When she finally got her breath back, the color had left her face and she looked at her shocked.

"How did you, why would you, what..."
Alexis silenced her. You could see the confusion and shock on her face.

"Tori, I'm your cousin. To me it was obvious. 1, you told me you went to the Wind Academy, it was captured yet your still here, and the remaining ninjas became the rangers. 2, your a water ninja, blue is a water ninja. And 3, we have spared against each other since we were, what, nine and actually learned how to fight, you really think I wouldn't recognize your fighting style?"

Tori stared a second longer, then shook herself back to sense.

"Wait a minute, figuring that out would take excellent observation skills, and a memory, neither of which you have." Tori said. She wasn't insulting , just stating the obvious.

"1. I actually do have observation skills and a memory. But personally, I think if people knew that I could ace my classes when I just pass, they would expect me to perform to my full potential, which is boring and requires effort. Besides, i don't even know why I need to take regular courses, since I do amazing in all my ninja classes. Who needs English and math? You know very well, I care about shopping, family, the Volcano Academy and little else, now, can we change the subject."

Tori sighed, knowing she would get no more information. So she changed the subject.

"The Volcano Academy, how..."

Alexis felt a tear forming in her eye. She wiped it away. She waited a minute and concentrated on the road the, then took a deep breath before answering.

"Well, you know that we were captured, all the ninja schools were and the Volcano Academy is no exception. Danny and I are the only ones left. We have are morphers still, but we can't activate them until we find a power strong enough to re-energize them. I'll tell you Tor, I don't think we'll ever find the Scroll of Power in the schools ruins." she sighed again.

Tori looked away from Alexis. She knew she shouldn't have brought the academy up. But she was curious. The shared a bond over the fact they were both ninjas, but the loss of the Volcano Academy was even harder on Alexis than the loss of the wind academy was on Tori. While Tori had only been at the school for a year. Alexis had lived their since she was a little girl with her brother Josh. Tori urged herself not to think about him. Lucky for her that's when they pulled into a parking space. They had reached the beach. They walked to the part that was normally deserted.

"Ready?" Alexis asked.

"Ready." Tori replied. In sync, they threw off their civilian clothes. In ninja form, they took fighting stance. Tori looked Alexis up and down. Her outfit, like Tori's had a skirt. It also consisted of the Volcano Academy's symbol, and the strip if color was there. Tori was slightly surprised at what color it was, but decided to ask later. They exchanged a quick nod, and began to spar. At first it was simple hand to hand combat. But soon Tori was calling upon her water powers and Alexis her powers of fire.

'How did I, a fire ninja manage to be cousins with a water ninja?' Alexis thought to herself. Tori was thinking similar things. But then, just as they were getting into it, a blast came from out of nowhere, hitting Alexis square on the leg, powerful enough to send her flying, up into the air, and straight into the water.
