Hi guys, thanks for all the reviews. Sorry it's been a while since I last updated. I'll try my best to update more frequently. Anyways, here's the second chaper!
It was a warm day at Blue Bay Harbor and Kris was at Storm chargers. She was in her gold colored motocross gear getting ready to walk her bike out to the track when Hunter walked in.
"Hey Kris," Hunter said as he walked over to her.
"Hey," Kris said with a smile on her face when she saw her boyfriend.
"Guess where you, Blake, and I are going tomorrow," Hunter asked after he gave her a kiss.
"Where," Kris asked with a smile on her face.
"To the movie theater," Hunter said as he held up three tickets that said Fists of Fire Two.
"No way you got them," Kris said with excitement voice.
"Got what," Blake asked as he walked up to his brother and friend.
"We're going to see Fists of Fire Two tomorrow," Hunter told him as he handed his brother a ticket.
"Sweet," Blake said taking the ticket from him. "I can't believe you got them."
"What are those," Tori asked as she rode her bicycle over to the three.
"Tickets to the martial arts film festival," Hunter told her.
"The theater's going to be showing Fists of Fire Two," Kris said as she showed her one of the tickets.
"Hoping to pick up a few pointers," Tori said with a laugh.
"Yeah, ha ha," Blake said as he walked over to her. "Listen what are you gonna be doing? Do you want to come?"
"Sure," Tori said with a smile on her face. "I love those old Kung Fu movies."
Hunter let out an annoyed groan when he heard this and Kris slapped him on the arm.
"Cool it Hunter," Kris whispered so that only he could hear her.
"But it was supposed to be just the three of us," Hunter told her in the same quiet voice. "Friday's always been our movie day."
"I know, but we knew Blake was eventually gonna find a girl he really liked," Kris said.
"Yeah I guess," Hunter said with a roll of his eyes as he watched his little brother flirt with Tori. But the annoyance soon left his face when he saw a smile appear on his brother's.
"Let's make it a double date," Kris suggested. "Who knows, it could be fun."
Hunter let out a sigh of defeat as he turned to his girlfriend. "Okay you win," Hunter said. "We'll make it a double date."
Kris smiled and she gave him a peck on the lips. "You're the best," Kris told him.
"Meet us tomorrow at the theater around three," Blake told Tori.
"Three, got it," Tori said with a smile on her face. "See ya then."
"See ya," Blake said as he handed her a ticket. He then walked back over to his brother and friend and the three of them left the shop. "You guys aren't upset that I asked Tori if she wanted to come along are you," Blake asked as everyone got into Hunter's red car. Kris rode shotgun and Blake was in the backseat.
"Of course we're not mad," Kris assured him. She then turned to Hunter. "Right Hunter?"
"Right," Hunter said as he started the car and pulled onto the road. "We're not mad at all."
"That's good to hear," Blake said.
"So, you like Tori huh," Kris asked with a smile on her face.
"Yeah," Blake answered with a nod of his head. "I've been wanting to ask her out for a while now, but I've been too nervous to do so until now. I thought that maybe a double date might help with my nerves. But I still should have probably asked you guys if it was okay first."
"Hey, no worries bro," Hunter assured his brother.
"Yeah like we said before, we're not mad at you," Kris told him. "And who knows, a double date could be fun."
"I can't believe what I'm hearing," Lothor said with disbelief in his voice. "At last, some information we can actually use. The question is, what to do with it."
"If you'll permit me sir," Zurgane said as he approached Lothor and bowed. "And now," he shouted. The moment he said this a spotlight appeared in the center of the room and a microphone lowered. Zurgane approached the microphone and spoke into it. "He's ten tons of terror and hails from the planet Hamhock! Put your hooves together for the Sultan of Sausage the Prince of Pork the Barron of Bacon, General Trayf," Zurgane shouted as he pointed to the entrance.
"General Zurgane," Lothor said with a smirk on his face.
"Yes," Zurgane asked.
"Don't give up your day job," Lothor told him.
"Yes sir," Zurgane said as he stepped aside so General Trayf could enter the room.
Marah and Kapri clapped when they saw the pig like monster enter while Lothor had a bored expression on his face.
"Pork power," Trayf shouted as he punched the air. "You want the rangers destroyed, I'm the pig who'll cook their bacon!"
"An alien who has a way with metaphors," Lothor said with a smile on his face. "I'm impressed. They're all yours General."
"Thank you," Trayf said with an evil laugh.
The next day arrived and Shane, Dustin, and Tori headed to the Skate Park for Shane's Skate Demo. Kelly walked over to Tori and spoke.
"Glad you worked out your scheduling problem Tori," Kelly said.
Tori nodded before glancing at her watch.
"Shane, you're up next. Good luck," Kelly told him before walking away.
"Thanks," Shane said.
"Hey you gonna go for the 180 backside rail side," Dustin asked Shane with a smile on his face.
"I might," Shane said with a sigh. "I've never landed one. But now's as good a time as any."
"You can do it dude," Dustin said as he patted Shane on the back. "Right Tori," Dustin asked as he and Shane turned to their friend who kept glancing at her watch and looking around. "Hey Tori," Dustin said as he waved his hand in front of her face.
"Huh," Tori asked as she looked up at him.
Dustin then nodded in Shane's direction.
"Yeah," Tori said as she turned to Shane. "Slide that fake rail."
"Hey, you okay," Shane asked.
A small smile appeared on Tori's face as she nodded her head.
"You don't seem like yourself," Shane told her.
"He's right," Dustin agreed. He then turned to Shane. "Maybe it's the whole clone Tori thing again with the camera and the clothes."
"Oh yeah," Shane said.
"You guys," Tori shouted. The two turned to their friend. "I'm fine. Now go Shane. Make me proud," she said as she gave him a pat on the back.
"Alright," Shane said as he strapped his red helmet on and picked up his skateboard. Dustin then gave him a high five before Shane went off to the ramp.
"And next on the street course is Shane Clarke," the announcer shouted as Shane skated down the ramp.
"Keep it up man," Dustin cheered as he watched Shane nail tricks left and right.
When Tori saw that Dustin was distracted with the competition, she ran from the area and ninja streaked away. Marah's eyes widened when she saw her ninja streak.
"The blue ranger," Marah said. She then held up her pink Walkie-Talkie and spoke into it. "Um, was she supposed to leave?"
Back at the movie theater, Kapri was keeping a close watch on Blake, Hunter, and Kris who were waiting for Tori near the entrance. Kapri turned her back on the three and spoke quietly into her Walkie-Talkie.
"Of course not," Kapri told her sister. "We'll just have to take care of her later."
Kris was leaning on a wall laughing along with Blake and Hunter as they talked excitedly about the movie. Just then Tori arrived and she rushed up to the three.
"Hi guys," Tori greeted with a smile on her face.
"Hey," Hunter and Kris said.
"You made it," Blake said with a smile on his face as the four headed into the theater. "We were starting to get worried there. Thought it was some kind of Kelzak thing."
Just then a guy in a chicken costume walked up to them. "Refreshments anyone," he asked.
"Can I help you," Kapri asked as she rushed up to the refreshment counter.
"You guys want some popcorn," Hunter asked as he turned to the others.
"You guys got the tickets this is my treat," Tori told them as she approached the counter.
Kapri quickly shoved a large popcorn into her hands and spoke. "It's uh leftover from last week's sci-fi promotion."
"Oh," Tori said with a smile on her face. She then reached into her pocket and pulled out some money but Kapri refused it.
"No," Kapri said with a wave of her hand.
"Okay...well thanks," Tori said. She then glanced down at her watch before handing Blake the popcorn. "Save me a seat I'll be right back," Tori told them before she rushed out of the theater.
"What was that about," Kris asked.
"No idea," Hunter said.
As the thunders headed into the movie room, Kapri spoke into her Walkie-Talkie. "Three thunders in the house blue just flew the coop. Be ready in case she shows up."
Tori made it back to the Skate Demo just as Shane took a nasty fall. She rushed up to Dustin and started clapping.
"Way to go Shane awesome," Tori cheered as she continued clapping unaware that Shane had fallen.
Dustin turned to her with a raised eyebrow. "He just ate it big time," Dustin told her.
"Oh right," Tori said as she immediately stopped clapping. "Well, better luck next time Shane."
"Man," Shane said as he approached his friends and removed his helmet. "I almost had it."
"You look thirsty," Tori told him. "How about a drink? Be right back," she shouted as she ran away from them.
"Huh," Shane asked with a raised eyebrow.
"What's with her," Dustin asked with a look of confusion on his face.
"Tori wait," Shane shouted as he and Dustin ran after her. Their eyes grew wide when they saw her ninja streak away.
"Did I miss a class about using ninja powers in public," Dustin asked as he turned to Shane.
"Yeah I guess we both did," Shane said.
"Oh boys over here," Marah said with a chuckle as she appeared in front of them with an army of Kelzaks.
Shane and Dustin quickly got into fighting stances when they saw her.
"I always forget how cute they are," Marah said with a smile on her face. When she saw that the Kelzaks were just standing there she turned to them and spoke. "Hello? Attack!"
The Kelzaks then charged at the two wind rangers and the wind rangers charged at the Kelzaks. One of the Kelzaks went to throw a punch at Shane's head but he ducked just in time to avoid the blow. He then spun around and kicked another Kelzak in the gut making him fly backward. He spun around again to block a kick from a Kelzak. After that he did a spin kick and knocked two more Kelzaks off of their feet.
A Kelzak kicked Dustin and he stumbled backwards into a chair. He quickly got to his feet and he picked up the chair and used it as a weapon. He swung it at a Kelzak making it fall backwards. He then kicked another Kelzak in the gut causing it to fly backwards into two other Kelzaks.
Shane then spun his foot underneath a Kelzak's feet causing it to fall to the ground. Another Kelzak went to punch him, but he grabbed it's arm and threw it into a table. Two Kelzak's went to attack Dustin but he did a back flip to avoid their blows. He then grabbed their arms and he flipped them over onto their backs. Dustin then did a cartwheel and once he landed on his feet he sent a powerful kick to a Kelzak's gut making it fly backwards into a chair.
After the two defeated the Kelzaks, they rushed over to Marah and they got into a fighting stance.
Marah sighed as she made her way over to the remaining Kelzaks. "Better go help Kapri," with that she and the remaining Kelzaks disappeared.
Shane and Dustin smiled when she left and they gave each other a high five.
Close to ten minutes had passed since Tori had left and Blake kept glancing around the room for her while Hunter and Kris were enjoying the movie. Kris sat on the end, Hunter sat in the middle, and Blake sat on the other side of Hunter. Hunter was holding the popcorn bucket with one hand and his other arm was around Kris's shoulders.
"Wonder where Tori is," Blake said as he turned his attention back to the film.
Hunter shrugged his shoulders and Kris spoke. "I don't know. But I'm sure she'll be here soon."
Blake reached into the popcorn bucket and pulled out another hand full.
"Dude," Hunter said as he turned to his brother. "Are you gonna eat the whole thing yourself?"
"Thinking about it," Blake said as he reached back into the popcorn bucket.
Kris chuckled as she reached her hand into the bucket. But just as she did, their eyes grew wide as a red flash came out of the bucket and engulfed them. The three were then sucked into the bucket.
"Hey guys," Tori said as she entered the room. "Hello?"
"Tori," Blake shouted from inside the popcorn bucket. "We're down here!"
"Huh," Tori asked as she approached the popcorn bucket and looked inside.
"Don't eat the popcorn," Hunter shouted.
"Guys," Tori asked with a shocked expression on her face.
"Shh," the man in the chicken costume told Tori.
"Oh I'm sorry," Tori apologize. "My friends are in the popcorn and I have to save them."
"Save them," the man in the chicken costume asked with an evil laugh. "You're gonna join them," he then ripped off the costume revealing General Trayf. "Kelzaks! It's show time!"
Tori looked around the theater as Kelzaks surrounded her.
"Get her," Trayf ordered.
Tori picked up the popcorn bucket that the thunder rangers were in and she got into a fighting stance. She then jumped in the air and kicked two Kelzaks in the gut making them fly backwards. She then did a spin kick on another Kelzak causing it to stumble backwards. A Kelzak went to punch her in the head but she grabbed its arm and she flipped it over onto its back. Another Kelzak charged at her but she threw numerous punches at its gut causing it to fly backwards over the rows of chairs. But she soon found herself being overpowered by the Kelzaks. They knocked her to the ground and they took the popcorn bucket from her.
Tori quickly got back to her feet and got into a fighting stances.
"Intermission," Trayf said with an evil laugh. "See ya in the next act!"
With that said, he and the Kelzaks disappeared with the thunder rangers.
"No," Tori shouted.
"This is gross," Kris said as she moved through the artificial butter.
"No doubt," Blake agreed. "What is this stuff?"
"I don't know," Hunter said as he made his way over to them. "But let's get out of it."
"I'm with ya there," Kris said.
"Ready," Hunter asked.
"Ready," Kris and Blake said.
"Thunder storm ranger form," the three thunders shouted. But their eyes grew wide when nothing happened.
"That's not good," Blake said.
"What do we do now," Kris asked them.
"We try and figure out another way out of here," Hunter told her.
"And that would be," Blake asked.
"Don't know," Hunter said. "I haven't thought of it yet."
"Great," Blake and Kris said with a sigh.
Back at Ninja Ops, Tori was getting a lecture from Sensei Kanoi while Shane and Dustin stood behind her and listened.
"Tori, using your ninja powers for personal gain is a very serious infraction of the ninja code," Sensei Kanoi told her. "Not to mention that you let your friend down."
"Shane I am so sorry," Tori apologized as she turned to her friend. "If I had stayed at the demo none of this would have happened."
"Or you might have been captured to," Sensei Kanoi said. "We cannot predict the future. That is why we have rules to govern the present."
"Yes Sensei," Tori said with a nod of her head.
"Cam, do you have a reading on this creature's whereabouts," Sensei Kanoi asked his son.
Cam spun around in his chair and faced his father and the wind rangers. "I've found a major hot spot on the top of the Harbor Office Tower."
"Ready," Tori asked her friends.
"Ready," Shane and Dustin said.
"Ninja storm ranger form ha," the three finished together. With that said, Shane morphed into the red ranger, Dustin morphed into the yellow ranger, and Tori morphed into the blue ranger.
"Power of earth," Dustin shouted.
"Water," Tori added.
"Air," Shane yelled. "Yeah, I love it when I get to use this thing," he said with excitement in his voice as he flew through the air on his glider.
"I got an appetite for destruction," Trayf shouted from his spot on the roof of the Harbor Office Tower. "And this town's gonna be the main course!"
"Suey," Shane shouted as he flew over the building on his glider.
"Here piggy piggy," Tori yelled as she flew over the building on her glider as well.
"Mind if we drop in," Dustin asked as he and the other rangers jumped off of their gliders and landed on the roof in front of Trayf.
"Well well nice entrance," Trayf said. "But if you ever want to find your thunder buddies, you'd better follow my curly tail through the porky portal! Come on rangers, come and get me," he said with an evil laugh as he jumped through a large red portal.
"No," Tori shouted.
"Wait," Dustin said.
"Stop," Shane ordered.
"We gotta go after him," Tori told her friends.
"What," Dustin said with disbelief in his voice. "Through that thing?"
"Come on," Shane said as he started to lead the way to the portal.
"Yeah," Tori said as she and Dustin started to follow him but they stopped in their tracks when they heard Cam's voice over their morphers.
"Wait," Cam ordered.
"Huh," Shane said as he held his morpher up so he and the others could hear him better.
"Slow down," Cam warned. "I've got a lock on the portal door, and it won't hold for more than about ten minutes max.
"We'll call you if we need help," Shane told him.
"You're on your own," Cam said. "I'll have no way to contact you while you're inside."
"Then we'll have to work fast," Shane said. He then turned to his friends. "Ready?"
"Yeah," Dustin and Tori said with a nod of their heads.
The three wind rangers then jumped into the portal. The exit from the portal opened up in the air on the other side and the three rangers flew through the air before they slammed into the ground with a hard thud.
"Ugh," Tori groaned in pain.
"Aw man that hurt," Dustin said.
"Not another rock quarry," Shane said as he and the other rangers pushed themselves to their feet.
"Welcome to my stop," Trayf said. "Hope you like it. Cause you're never leaving," he said with an evil laugh.
Back in the popcorn bucket, Kris was standing on Hunter's shoulders and she was trying to reach the top.
"A little bit more Hunter," Kris said as she stretched her arms out to try and get to the top. "I'm almost there."
"Reach," Hunter shouted as he lifted her up a little higher.
"I am," Kris shouted back.
"You almost have it sis," Blake told her.
Just then Kris lost her balance and she fell backwards into the butter with a splash. Hunter and Blake helped her up and she pushed her soaking wet hair out of her face.
"Sorry guys," Kris said.
"Don't worry about it," Hunter assured her. "We'll just have to think of another way out of here."
"Yeah well I know one thing," Kris said as she shook some of the butter off of her hands.
"What's that," Blake asked.
"I'm never ordering popcorn again," Kris told them.
"I heard that," Hunter agreed.
Kris almost slipped in the butter again but she grabbed a hold of Hunter to keep herself from falling. But that didn't work because Hunter lost his balance to and they both fell in.
"Ugh, I am so ready to get out of here," Kris shouted with anger in her voice as she got back to her feet.
"You know what the worst part of it is," Blake asked.
"What would that be," Hunter asked his brother as he placed a hand against one of the walls to balance himself better. He then grabbed a hold of Kris's arm to keep her from falling again to.
"It's not even butter," Blake told them. "We're gonna be destroyed by artificial flavoring," he shouted as he kicked at the butter. But the moment he did this he fell backwards into it.
"Hey guys," Kris said with a smile on her face as she picked up an unpopped kernel. "Look at this."
"Is that what I think it is," Hunter asked as he and Blake made their way over to her.
"The unpopped kernels at the bottom of the bucket," Kris told them.
"Maybe we can pop ourselves out of here," Blake said with a smile on his face.
"If the blast doesn't bake us first," Hunter said.
"Got another suggestion," Kris asked her boyfriend.
Hunter shook his head and Kris dropped the kernel. The three thunders then stood in a circle and they concentrated hard on their ninja powers. Within seconds, crimson lightning bolts started surrounding Hunter, gold lightning bolts started surrounding Kris, and navy lightning bolts started surrounding Blake.
"It's getting hot in here," Blake said as smoke started to form around them.
"Keep going bro it's working," Hunter said.
"Come on rangers," Trayf taunted with an evil laugh.
"Ooh, there's so much action in this movie," Marah whined as she, Lothor, Kapri, and Zurgane watched the fight from the movie theater. "Why couldn't we go see a love story?"
"Hey," Lothor said with annoyance in his voice. "You make a better door than a window. Sit down."
"Yeah," Kapri agreed.
"Sorry," Marah said as she moved out of the way to take a seat.
"Sir," Zurgane said as he turned to Lothor. "How are we able to witness what is happening in General Trayf's dimension?"
"You ever heard of a private screening," Lothor asked him. "Now be quiet. I think we're heading for an exciting climax."
"That's it," Trayf asked the wind rangers with an evil laugh. "That's all you got?"
"Where are our friends," Shane demanded as he, Tori, and Dustin pushed themselves to their feet.
"They went out to get popcorn," Trayf told them.
"Keep going guys," Kris said when she noticed that the smoke was rising around them. "I think she's almost ready to blow."
"You look tired rangers," Trayf said as he pulled out a large sword. "Why don't you take a load off," he then slammed his sword into the ground and sent lightning at the three rangers. Sparks flew out of their costumes as they fell backwards. "It's all about the smell," Trayf shouted as numerous pig noses flew towards the rangers and slammed into them causing them to fly backwards once again. "Do you finally submit to the power of the pig," Trayf asked.
"In your dreams," Shane said as he pushed himself to his feet.
"The only thing powerful about you is your smell," Tori said as she got to her feet.
"Yeah, you ever heard of soap," Dustin asked as he got to his feet.
"Put a lid on it," Trayf ordered as he threw the lid from the portal at the rangers.
"This one's mine," Shane said. He then ran and jumped on the lid and rode it back towards Trayf. He then jumped off of it and kicked it at Trayf. There was a large explosion when the lid collided with the space alien.
"Yeah," Dustin cheered.
"Good work guys," Tori said.
"Storm striker," Shane shouted. The wind rangers put their weapons together and formed the storm striker. "Time to stick a fork in this pork," Shane said as they aimed their weapon at Trayf. "Fire," he shouted. Shane pulled the trigger on the storm striker and a large fireball shot out of it and headed straight for Trayf. When the fireball collided with him he exploded on contact. "I like my bacon extra crispy," Shane said with a chuckle.
After they defeated Trayf, the portal opened over their heads.
"Whoa," Dustin and Tori said when they saw it.
"The portal," Shane said.
"Let's get out of here," Tori told them.
The moment she said this, the portal sucked them up and they fell back in their own dimension.
"We did it," Shane said as he put his visor up.
"That roast is toast," Dustin said with a smile on his face as his visor went up.
"But what about Blake, Hunter, and Kris," Tori asked as she put her visor up as well.
Right after she said this, the three thunders flew out of a portal and landed at their feet. Popcorn fell on top of them as did the artificial butter.
"Ugh nasty," Dustin said as he helped Kris to her feet.
"You guys alright," Shane asked as he helped Hunter to his feet and Tori helped Blake to his.
"Yeah we're fine," Kris said.
"You guys kind of reek," Dustin said.
"Artificial butter flavoring," Hunter told them.
Later that night, Kris stepped out of the bathroom in fresh clothes and she was drying her hair with a towel. Once she stepped in the living room of the apartment she shared with Blake and Hunter, she found Hunter sitting on the couch watching TV.
"Hey," Kris said as she sat down next to him.
"Hey," Hunter said with a smile on his face. "Feel better?"
"Definitely," Kris said with a nod of her head. "I didn't think I'd ever get that artificial butter flavoring out of my hair."
Hunter chuckled as Blake entered the room with a smile on his face. "Hey guys," Blake said as he walked over to the two.
"Hey bro," Hunter and Kris greeted.
"I got three more tickets to the film festival," Blake said as he held them up. "Want to go?"
"Uh," Hunter and Kris said as they glanced at each other then back to Blake.
"Actually, I'm going to steer clear from the movie theaters for a while," Kris told him.
"Yeah same here," Hunter agreed. "Sorry bro but being trapped inside a bucket of popcorn can really turn someone away."
"Oh okay," Blake said. "No worries. But what am I going to do with these tickets now?"
"Why don't you ask Tori," Kris suggested. "I'm sure she'd love to go."
"You know what, I think I will," Blake said. "Later guys."
"Later," Hunter and Kris said with a wave.
Blake walked into Ninja Ops to find Tori mopping the floor. He smiled and he walked over to her.
"Come on Cinderella drop the mop," Blake said as he approached her. He then held up two of the three tickets. "I've got two more tickets to the film festival. Only this time, we won't invite the pig. What do you say? You want to come?"
"I'd love to but I can't," Tori told him.
"Oh," Blake said looking a little hurt. "Paying your debt to society huh?"
Tori nodded her head. "I deserve it. I should have told you guys I already had plans."
"Yeah I would have understood," Blake said. "I mean um, I'm not so good with dates myself."
After an awkward silence, Tori spoke again.
"Look at that spot on the floor," Tori said. "I'd better go clean it."
"Yeah," Blake said as he watched her walk away from him and continue mopping. "What am I gonna do with these tickets now?"
About a half an hour later, Blake was back at the film festival watching Fist of Fire Two with Sensei Kanoi.
"Why do I always get taller people sitting in front of me," Sensei Kanoi complained.
"Wouldn't that be everybody," Blake asked as he popped a piece of popcorn into his mouth.
Sensei Kanoi groaned and looked up at Blake. "Oh I'm sorry. My bad," Blake apologized as he held out the popcorn bucket to Sensei. "Popcorn?"
"No thank you," Sensei Kanoi said as he pulled out a smaller bucket of popcorn for himself.
And that's the end of chapter two. I'll have the next one up soon. That will more than likely be an original chapter.
