Volcano storm chapter 14

Hunter and Shane had kept gathering food when Tori left. The island vegetation provided plenty of fruits ad berries to be gathered.

"Dude, I don't know about you, bit this place freaks me out." Shane said.

"I hear you. As soon as we get Dustin back we should get out of here."

Shane looked at Hunter. "Dustin, and Danny, right?"

Hunter acted as his brooding self and turned away. Shane raised and dropped his hands in annoyance. "Man, what's with you. Ever since you saw the guy you've given nothing but grief to to Alexis and him. I get you don't like him, but he seems cool to me."

"Look, you don't get it."

"Well then, could you explain, because I'm lost."

Hunter took a deep breath. "Around a year ago, Alexis infiltrated Thunder Academy as a spy. She was good, to say the least. She tricked and charmed her way through. We trusted her, and she lied to us. I trusted her. And she pretended to like me. Like, like me like me. Point being, I asked her out, we started dating, and she tricked me into showing her to the Thunder Ninja Ops. That night, she appeared with Danny and Josh. Danny and Josh both morphed and attacked the students to create a diversion, and I found Alexis destroying the Thunder Academy Ninja Ops. There was so much that she destroyed. Stuff we can never get back. She ended up making a break for it. Blake and I tried to stop her, but she tricked me again. They got away." Hunter paused a moment, his fists clenching viciously, and finally turned his head back to Shane. "Alexis Hanson is the reason the Thunder Academy couldn't defeat Lothor when he attacked a few months later."

An eternity seemed to pass before there was any sound again.

Blake sat bored near the campfire. After hours of walking on the giant island, they had found a suitable place to set up camp. He was annoyed when Tori, Hunter, and Shane had left in search of dinner and left Alexis as his only companion. He was glad when the redhead decided to go off on her own. He could just barely see her somewhere off in the distance. Her fiery head made her just visible.
Blake had liked Alexis, back when they were at the Thunder Academy. Most of the kids had. She was well, likable. She was apparently Sensei X's, the ninja history teachers, daughter. She was always where the action was, contagious energy, always ready to make witty comment, got along with everyone, just a little behind on the whole Thunder power thing.

When you thought about it, Alexis and Tori were alot alike. Both were dedicated, stubborn, and pissing them off was a suicide mission. But Blake had never felt about Alexis they way he felt about Tori. Tori was just so ...perfect.

He admitted, he was in deep for the water-ninja. Ever since they first met, he was taken with her. She had been kind to them, and when they had returned she was the first to accept them again. He loved how he could talk to her about anything, how she laughed, how she got a thrill when she saw the perfect wave. Okay, he'd admit it. He had fallen for her hard. The other guys teased him mercilessly. He was trying to work up the courage to tell her.
As he was thinking this, Tori herself emerged back from food- gathering.
"Hey." she said, startling Blake.
"Hey." he replied.
"Hey, where's Alexis?" she asked. Blake waved his hand in the direction Alexis has gone off. Tori nodded in understanding. "This island is upsetting her. If she can't find her brother here... Well, you can kind of relate."

"What do you mean?"

"The whole brother thing. You know what it's like to care for someone that much, right?"

"I guess." Blake mumbled. From the corner of his eye he saw Tori look awkwardly away and brush her hair behind her ear.

"So what about you?" he asked. "How do you feel about being here?"

"Well, I'll feel a lot better once we get off it." Tori offered with a smile.

They sat on silence for a few minutes, staring into the fire, occasionally, discreetly, glancing at one another.

"I'm gonna go check on Alexis." Tori said.

"Stay safe." Blake warned with a start as Tori walked towards the fire girl.

Lothor's Ship

"Ash-a-Trops." Lothor called into his presence. The lava-spurting monster said something that sounded like a wail.

"Ugh, Uncle, why can't you have like, brought a monster that speaks English, like the rest of them." Kapri complained.

"Silence. Why care about talking when you can simply crush your enemies." Lothor smiled. Ash-a-Trops seemed to agree. "Now listen up, I want you two and Ash-a-Trops to go to Helicoid. When those rangers lose the ability to morph, crush them."

"Uncle, just one slight problem with that," Karpi pointed out. "How are we supposed to work with a guy we can't even understand?"

Lothor sighed in annoyance. He took out his PAM, pressed a few buttons and pointed it at the monster.

"Aw right, let's heat things up. Whoa, I'm talking English!"

"Ch, yeah, not very good English." Marah said to Kapri. Lothor glared. "Are you gonna be picky, or should I make you speak dog?" Marah shut up.

"Now hurry up. I want the rangers crushed as soon as possible." Lothor left.

Ash-a-Trops opened a new portal. "Well, hurry it up, we gots to go."

"Uh, yeah, would you give us a sec." Kapri said and pulled Marah closer so they could whisper.

"Ideas?"

"Me? Kapri, you're the smart one, think of something."

"I guess we have to go."

"But, like, destroying the rangers so isn't our thing." Marah said.

Kapri looked nervously towards te impatient monster. "Look let's just go, we'll think of something later." And go they did.
