Hi! I can't believe people like my story! Thank You! Here is another chapter of Black Thunder. Sorry for the delay. My school did a long retreat. Hope you like this. I also want to say I was inspired by PenToTheHeart's "Dino Charge: Bright as the Sun" and thunderyoshi's Golden Ranger series. But, I'm not going to copy them! I also want to mention that this is not a Blake and Tori story, so some facts will be switched around to make more chemistry of my paring.

Chapter 2: Thunder Calls

1 year later

I was in on a battlefield. There were ditches and fires everywhere, the sky dark with smoke like a virus taking over. Lasers were being fired on both sides. I could hear cries and screams nearby. But, as I tried to move, my body wouldn't move. I stopped struggling when I saw a tall, blonde-haired boy fighting a dark figure, with the dark figure winning. The boy hit the ground, defeated. I suddenly noticed five other teenagers on the ground. The figure cackled, "I have defeated your Ninjas, citizens of Blue Bay Harbor! Victory is mine!" I screamed.

I woke with a start, screaming, shaken from what I have seen. Panting, I realized I needed to talk to Adam.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

I ran into the dojo early in the morning, before any classes started. Adam turned, and with one look, I could tell he understood. I followed him into his office. "What happened?" He asked, worried. I explained to him the nightmare I saw last night. From the lasers to the boy to the last remark the figure said. We were silent for a while after I finish describing it.

With a grim expression, he said, "You must go to Blue Bay Harbor."

"Adam, you said I wasn't ready. Plus, if anything, I should go back to the academy."

His expression turned dark, an expression I hoped never to see.

"I didn't want to mention this till it was necessary, but…" My heart fell at the next words.

"An alien named Lothor attacked the Ninja Academies, including the Thunder academy. I'm sorry, the academy was obliterated." I blinked back tears threatening to come to the surface.

"Is he the figure I saw in my dream?"

"Yes. He is currently attacking Blue Bay Harbor. The city needs you. You must leave immediately." I decided not to push him on the matter, though I was scared. You could tell by his body language that he was serious about all this. After packing, she turned to say good bye to Adam. He says one thing before I streaked off.

"Once a ranger, Always a ranger."

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

I get to Blue Bay Harbor in record time. I walk into a sports shop called Storm Chargers. As I begin walking around, a shorter, red-haired girl approaches me. "Welcome to Storm Chargers. I'm Kelly. Need hel…" She is interrupted by a loud crash coming from the back of the store. Kelly groans, "Dustin, Shane. What did you do this time?" She leaves me to walk around the store. I was particularly looking for the archery section of the store, but didn't find one. I eventually walk up to the counter. Two boys are discussing the dangers in skateboarding and motocross. One was tan with short black hair, while the other had longer, brown hair. Neither of them noticed me until I coughed. They looked over with a mixture with curiosity and surprise. The boy with the black hair smirked.

"Hi, there. Can help you with anything?" he said, trying to flirt, but failed miserably. I rolled my eyes.

"Nice try, Casanova. I was just wondering if you had an archery section." The boy with the long hair laughed.

"Dude, you just got rejected." The other boy scowled and turned away.

"Whatever, man." The two boys walked away, completely forgetting I existed.

"I'm sorry, about Shane and Dustin. Sometimes, I don't know why I hired them." I turn to see Kelly behind me. "Do you need help with anything?" Suddenly, I hear screams outside. I run out of the shop, leaving Kelly baffled. I finally find the source of the screams. In park, there was a giant blue bird in a trench-coat. It noticed me.

"Look, another person to prey on. Calzacks!" Weird black and red things appeared. I went into my thunder fighting stance. I charged the Calzacks, finding it hard to defeat them without the morpher on my wrist. It toke a kick at one, but it just stunned him. I flipped over one and knocked its feet from under him. As I was coming back up, another kicked me to the ground. In pain, I stood up, determined to defeat this thing. I glanced at my wrist and said the for the first time in a year,

"Thunder storm, Ranger form."

There was a flash and I was in a black, spandex top with a gold symbol in the center that looked like beetle wings. The lower half was white with gold knee pads and black boots with gold trim. I had gold shoulder pads and black gloves. I had a black helmet with gold trim. A red staff was on my back.

"Black Thunder."

The Calzacks and the Bird flinched. "How can that be? I though there were only two Thunder ninjas?!" I decided to think about this later, as the Calzacks were feeling more confident. I yelled, "Thunder staff," and drew my staff. I charge the Calzacks head on, feeling the power running through me. I hit many Calzacks with my staff, and this time it defeats them. I flipped over a Calzack and struck it in the back with my staff. I spun and hit a lot of Calzacks in the face. I changed my staff into a star.

I yelled, "Thunder Star!"

With the last on the Calzacks defeated, I turn my attention to Bird. But, as I ready my staff, three lasers hit Bird. He cries out in pain. I turn to see three other rangers in holding swords. The red ranger approaches Bird.

"This is the end, bird brain." The blue and yellow ranger charged the Bird. But, the Bird was prepared.

"Feather storm." As feather like objects rush towards the two, I run forward, changing my staff into it's shield form. "Thunder shield." I blocked the feathers with my shield, finally getting the others attention. I turn to red and activated my voice manipulator.

"Together" I said in a deep voice. They nodded. I charged Bird, hitting him with my staff. I stopped to switch my weapon. A stick appeared with one wing on it.

"Black Scythe."

I swung the scythe around and hit Bird in the chest twice. I turned behind him and kicked his knee, making him fall on it.

I yelled, "End it."

"Let's put them together," I ran out of the way as they said, "Storm Striker, Fire." A ball of energy flew through the air and hit Bird. He exploded. The three rangers ran to me, asking question after question, at the same time.

Suddenly, Bird grew to the size of two skyscrapers. "Now, I'm going to squash you."

I called for my black beetle zord. This was black and had wings, appearing in the air for me to hop into. The inside looked almost like a train control center. As the others turned into a megazord, I realized I wasn't able to yet. A lot of the machine parts were missing. So, I stood next to the other zord.

"It's beetle time!" I yelled. I wheeled around the monster, avoiding its feather attacks, while the others weren't so lucky. But, as the Bird rejoiced in his small win, I grabbed him with my jaws and dropped to the ground, holding the alien in place.

"Now!" The others had a sword in there hand suddenly. In one quick motion, they swiped the monster in the chest, making the thing explode.

As I landed in the park, the others approached me. The red ranger stepped forward.

"Who are you?" he asked.

This made me think. There were benefits to exposing myself, like help and understanding. But, I realized that I could do a lot more on my own. I needed time before I joined to think and work things out. So, I turned and said, without de-morphing.

"A friend." And as a streaked away, I knew that my story in Blue Bay Harbor had just begun.
