Dustin streaked into Ninja Ops, where Hunter, Blake, Shane and Cam were at the large computer. They turned around when they heard Dustin collapse to the floor, out of breath. Shane yelled as they ran to his side, "Dustin!"
They helped him up, and helped him over to the table, where he sat down.
Hunter said, "Are you ok? Where's Tori?"
As Dustin tried to catch his breath, he looked down at his clenched fists, and said as he broke down in tears, not able to hold it in much longer, "I'm sorry! I tried to stop them from taking her, but I wasn't able to!"
Cam put his hand on his shoulder, and said, "Slow down. What happened?"
"They grabbed us at the park, and threw us into a van. They drove for what seemed like hours, and then they took her, and me."
He looked at Hunter and Blake, and said, "I'm so sorry, guys. Every time I tried to get up, they pushed me back down. I wanted to follow them, but I couldn't, 'cause I didn't want them to hurt Tori."
He put his head in his hands, and the others looked at Hunter. He kneeled in front of him, and said as he put a hand on his arm, "Did they say anything?"
"The leader said to wait for a call of further instructions."
Blake said, "So, I guess we just wait."
Dustin stood up, and Shane said as he started to walk towards the door, "Where are you going?"
Dustin didn't turn around, or look over his shoulder, as he said, "To look for my fiancé."
Before he could walk out, though, Sensei Watanabe came in from a side room, and said, "Dustin."
Dustin stopped, but didn't turn around. He said, "Yes, sensei?"
Sensei walked up to him, stood in front of him, and said as he put his hands on his shoulders, "We will find her, together."
Dustin said, "Sensei, I can't just wait for the computer to locate her. I need to find her, before they do something to her."
Before anyone could say anything, Dustin walked out. Cam looked at his father, and said, "We need to bring in the Dinos for this."
His father nodded, and said, "Go ahead and contact them, son."
He walked out, and Cam went back to the computer. Hunter said, "I wish mom and dad were here."
Blake nodded, and said, "Me, too. They would know what to do."
Cam, having got Tommy through the computer, said, "Guys, come over here. I've got the Dinos on screen."
Hunter, Blake and Shane walked over to the computer, where they saw Tommy sitting in the chair in front of the computer, with Connor, Ethan, Kira and Trent surrounding him. Tommy said, "What's up, guys?"
Shane said, "Do you guys remember when you said that whenever we needed help, to contact you?"
Connor nodded, and Kira, his girlfriend, said, "Yeah."
Cam said, "Well, we need your help."
Tommy said, "Of course. What's happened?"
Hunter said, "Tori's been kidnapped."
Ethan said as Tommy leaned forward, "What?"
Blake said, "Someone took her and Dustin from the park. Then, they left him somewhere, and told him to wait for a call."
Trent said, "Where is he?"
Shane said, "He just left. He didn't want to wait for the computer to find her."
Tommy muttered, "Well, not that I can blame him."
They all heard a phone ring, and they looked around. Kira said, "Who's phone is that?"
Hunter saw a phone on the floor, and went to pick it up, as Cam said, "It's Dustin's."
Hunter walked back to the others, and opened the cell. Putting it to his ear, he said, "Hello?"
Over the phone, he heard someone breathing. He said, "Who is this?"
A raspy voice said, "Where's the girl's fiance?"
Hunter narrowed his eyes, and said, "Where is she? What'd you do with her?"
The voice said, "She's safe... for now. Where's the boy?"
"I don't know where he is. If you hurt my sister, I promise you that I'll-!"
Before he could finish, Shane snatched the phone away, while Tommy yelled in a warning tone, "Hunter..."
Shane put the phone on speaker, and said, "Who are you?"
"If I told you, then you would know where to find me."
Blake couldn't take it anymore, and shouted before anyone could stop him, "Give us back our sister, you creep!"
Cam put his hand over Blake's mouth, and the voice said, "Give the phone to the fiancé."
Shane said, "We don't know where he is."
"Find him, or say good bye to the girl."
Before anyone could say anything, the person hung up. Hunter clenched his fists, and Shane said, "Tommy, what do we do?"
Tommy said, "You guys, just sit tight, and we'll be there in a few minutes. Cam, try to locate Dustin."
Cam nodded, and the image on the screen disappeared. Shane said, "I'm gonna go try to find Dustin. Cam, let me know if you locate him."
Cam nodded, and Shane streaked out. Blake took Cam's hand off of his mouth, and said, "What did I just do? Did I just cost our sister her life?"
Hunter pulled him into his arms when he saw tears form in his little brother's eyes, and said, "No, Blake, you didn't do anything."
Blake broke down, and Hunter felt his own eyes watering up. He looked at Cam, who had been watching the two brothers. Cam nodded, and turned to the computer, immediately starting to tap on the keys. Hunter held onto his brother, while he fell asleep. He picked Blake up, and carried him to one of the guest rooms, leaving Cam hard at work at the computer.
(DeSantos house)
Rocky and Aisha DeSantos were sitting on the couch, watching TV, when Dustin came through the door, going straight to his room upstairs, not even acknowledging his parents. Rocky said, "Dustin?"
The door bell rang, and Aisha got up, saying, "I'll get it."
She went to the door, and opened it, seeing Shane, out of breath. She smiled, and said, "Hi, Shane."
"Hey, Mrs. DeSantos. Is Dustin here?"
"Yes, he's in his room."
"May I see him?"
She moved to the side, saying, "Sure, come on in."
As she came in, she asked, "Is everything ok?"
He looked at her, and said, "Well, I might as well tell you and Mr. DeSantos, so you know what's going on."
They walked into the living room, and Aisha sat beside Rocky, while Shane sat in the arm chair. Rocky said as he leaned forward, "What's going on?"
Shane said, "Tori's been kidnapped."
Aisha said, "What?"
"Earlier today, a van approached Dustin and Tori in the park. They were grabbed, and taken somewhere. After driving for a while, they left Dustin, but took Tori. We just got a call from the kidnappers, but he wouldn't say anything unless he talked to Dustin."
Rocky said, "Let me see the phone."
Shane handed the phone over, stood up, and said, "I'm gonna go see Dustin, now."
He walked upstairs, and Rocky looked at the number. His eyes widened, and said, "Aisha, do you remember this number?"
Aisha leaned over, and said as her eyes also widened, "It can't be! Do you think it could be her?"
Rocky said, "Well, she did try to kill you."
Aisha nodded, and said, "We've gotta help them. It's time."
They looked at each other, and Rocky nodded. He stood up, walked over to a small safe in the corner, and said, "Here goes nothing."
He opened the safe, and pulled out two morphers, their morphers. He handed Aisha her Saber-toothed Tiger morpher, and looked at his own Tyrannosaurus morpher. He said, "It's a good thing Alpha was able to reactivate all of our morphers, before he and Zordon..."
He closed his eyes, and put his hands down by his side. Aisha walked up to him, and touched his arm. He looked at her, and she kissed his cheek, saying, "It's ok, sweetheart. They did what they had to do."
She pulled him into an embrace, and he said, "I know, but to sacrifice themselves? There had to be another way."
He looked down at her, and she said when she looked up at him, "Rocky, Zordon knew what he was doing. To him, we were his kids. And, you know that parents look after their children."
He nodded, and Aisha pulled their communicators out of the safe, and gave Rocky his. Shane came down, and said as Rocky and Aisha quickly put their morphers and communicators in their pockets, "He won't talk to me. He won't even open the door."
Aisha said as she let go of Rocky, "We'll talk to him. Go on back to the others, and stay with Hunter and Blake. They need the comfort now, too."
Shane nodded, and said, "Yes, ma'am."
They walked upstairs as Shane left, and when they got to his room, Aisha said, "Dustin, can we come in?"
When there was no answer, Rocky said, "Son, we know about Tori."
They waited, and then they heard the lock unlocking. The door opened, and they went in, seeing Dustin with his head down. He closed the door, and sat down on his bed. Rocky and Aisha sat on either side of him, and Aisha said, "Do you wanna talk about it, sweetheart?"
As Dustin stared straight ahead, he said as a tear rolled down his cheek, "We got engaged last night, and now she's gone."
Neither of his parents had known about the engagement. Rocky said, "We'll help you find her, son."
Dustin looked at his father, and said, "How?"
Aisha took her morpher out of her pocket, and without Dustin seeing it, she showed it to Rocky. He nodded, and they stood up. Rocky said, "Dustin, what we're about to show you is very private. You can't tell anyone, not even your friends."
Dustin nodded, and Rocky took out his morpher. He said as he looked at Aisha, "You ready, 'Sha?"
She nodded, and Rocky said, "Here goes nothing. It's morphin' time! Tyrannosaurus!"
Aisha shouted, "Saber-toothed tiger!"
Dustin watched in shock, and in awe, as his parents morphed into the Red and Yellow Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers. Rocky looked at Aisha, and said, "It's just as I remember."
Dustin slowly stood up, and said, "My parents are power rangers."
Aisha nodded, and said, "I was the second yellow ranger, and your father was the second red ranger."
Rocky said, "We couldn't tell you, because we still have a lot of enemies out there, and we didn't want anything to happen to you."
Dustin said, "I know. I have something to tell you guys. Well, to show you, actually."
Aisha nodded, and said, "Power down."
When their uniforms disappeared, Rocky said, "What is it, son?"
Dustin took a deep breath, and said, "You've heard about the Ninja Storm Power Rangers, right?"
His parents nodded, and he said, "Well... just watch."
He lifted his arm, and said, "Ninja Storm Ranger Form!"
His parents looked at his uniform, and Aisha said, "Rocky?"
Rocky looked at her, and she said as they smiled, "Our son is the yellow wind power ranger."
Dustin said, "Power down."
Once he demorphed, Rocky said, "And, I bet that Shane, Tori, Hunter, Blake and Cam are the other rangers, right?"
Dustin nodded, and looked at the picture on his nightstand. The picture was of him and Tori at the amusement park. Aisha put a hand on her son's shoulder, and said, "We'll find her, Dustin."
Dustin looked at his parents, and said, "But, will she be the same when we do?"
(Cave)
Tori woke up on a cold floor. Sitting up, she looked around, saying, "Hello?"
She tried to stand up, and found that her ankles were chained to the ground. She heard the door open, and looked up. A woman came in, and Tori asked, "Where am I? Who are you?"
The woman smiled as she walked closer, saying, "Let's just say that I'm one of the most powerful enemies you have."
Tori raised her arm, but right as she started to speak into her communicator, the woman grabbed her wrist, making her cry out in pain. She said, "Don't try that again."
Tori nodded, and the woman said, "It's about time to call your fiancé, anyway."
(DeSantos house)
The three were sitting quietly on the couch, when Dustin's cell rang. Dustin grabbed it off of the coffee table, and looked at his parents. Rocky nodded, and Aisha said, "Put it on speaker."
Dustin nodded, flipped the phone open, hit the "speaker" button, and said, "Hello?"
A voice said, "Is this the fiancé?"
Dustin said as his eyes narrowed, "Yes, who is this?"
"Someone wants to talk to you."
They heard a scared voice say, "Dustin?"
Dustin felt his heart thump in his chest, and said, "I'm here."
"I'm sorry."
"You have nothing to be sorry for."
"I wanted to go to the park. It's my fault."
"We'll find you, Tor."
The other line came on, saying, "You have until tomorrow, to surrender yourself to me forever, or she dies."
The other line was cut, and Aisha said, "Rocky, that was her."
Dustin looked at his parents, and said, "Who?"
His parents looked at each other, and said at the same time, "Kat."
(Ninja Ops)
Cam was sitting on the table, facing the door. The others were sitting on the floor, against the wall. Blake was asleep, his head in Hunter's lap. They heard footsteps coming from the stairs, and they watched as the Dinos. Kira looked at Blake, and said, "We don't need to wake him up, do we?"
Tommy, knowing that he probably cried himself to sleep, shook his head, and said, "We don't, but someone else might want to."
Hunter said, "What do you mean, Tommy?"
Tommy said, "Come on in, guys."
They all looked at the door as two uniformed figures walked in, one in pink, and the other in black. Cam said, "Who is this, Tommy?"
Tommy said, "You'll see."
The figures walked over to Hunter, Shane and Blake, and got on their knees in front of them. The one in black said, "Power down."
As Hunter noticed that the voice seemed familiar, the uniforms disappeared, and Hunter came face-to-face with... his mom and dad, Adam and Kim Park.
