Chapter 9 The First Recruit
We hovered in the air, invisible, having just awoken and eaten. I looked to the knights and who nodded before taking the ship in for a landing near the 'pond with waterfall' powering down the ship the 4 of us got up and moved out of the ship, Swords and Blasters holstered as to make it known that we are armed, but do not come in looking for a fight, I did a quick clothes swap to change into my Earth Ninja Master Attire with Ninja Sword on Back, all other of my gear in my Sub Space pocket. I motion to the others to stop just after exiting the ship and turn to face the waterfall.
I clear my throat and call out "Air, Water, and Earth as One!" I call out the current password. "A Ninja Master seeks the council of the Sensei of the Wind Ninja Academy!" I then get into a mostly ready stance and the knights follow my stance, a few minutes passed and 6 colorful streaks passed us by and landed on the water, not in combat stance.
"How are you here Earth Master? We thought Lothor captured all the other ninjas on Earth?" The one I recognize as Cam asks me.
"Lothor managed to capture all the students and teachers, except for yourself and Kanoi, but Not every graduate stays at the academy, some of us venture the world or have higher callings, as for me, well I guess you could say I'm a bit out of place Chronologically speaking young samurai..." I tell him. "Where is Kanoi, is he in Ninja Ops?"
"Dude, Whose Kanoi?" Dustin asked and Cam looked at him dumbfounded.
"Kanoi is my father." Cam tells him.
"Whoa! Sensei has a real name?!" Shane blurts out.
"Of course he has a real name, he wasn't born being called Sensei, Shane!" Tori chides him.
"ENOUGH!" I call out, my voice booming. "Cameron Watanabe, Take me to your father, Others go do some training, Your posture is horrendous." I tell them, the three wind ninja students snapping to attention and rushing off to train some more. Hunter and Blake just stood there looking at me defiantly. "Yes?" I asked of them.
"Listen, the only reason we listen to Sensei is because he is a Sensei, he may not be ours, but he is still a Sensei and deserves the respect... You are just a Graduate of this academy and we arent students of the Wind Ninja Academy, we wont listen to you unless you make us." Blake said cockily, Hunter nodded and chimed in.
"Not to mention our forms are perfect, skills unmatched by anyone this in or from this Academy except for Sensei Watanabe, not to mention we are also the Po..." He was suddenly cut off by Blake's hand preventing him from revealing their status as Power Rangers.
"Fine then." I say and turn to my knight friends who had slightly drawn their swords. "Please to not interfere as I teach these children a lesson." I tell them with a smile on my face, without turning around I tell the Boys. "You better come at me with full force, with intent to maim or kill." The boys suddenly rush and each deliver a powerful punch to my back only to hit pile of smoke that reveals a slightly damaged log.
"Where'd this log come from?" Hunter asks as the log hits the ground.
"All praise be to the Log" they hear before being knocked forward by a light double kick, the boys Bounce up and face me before a beep sounds on their wrists. Blake steps in front of Hunter and Hunter brought his morpher to his wrist and said "Yes Sensei?"
"I Believe you are fighting the Ninja Prodigy David Ninterra, He graduated from the academy in a simple 4 years, He has asked you to go all out, He has worked with Rangers in the past, So morph and take him seriously." An aged voice come from the Morpher.
"Alright Sensei." He ends the call and says "Blake, lets do it!" and stands next to his brother.
"Thunder Storm! Ranger Form!" and In a flash of light I'm facing the Thunder Ninja Rangers who draw their thunder staffs and charge me. "Hyah!" They swing their staffs at my neck but I quickly fall back while their weapons pass above my face and land a hard kick to their chests, then hit the ground and vanish into it, they look around wondering where I went before they hear clearly said.
"Earth Style, Mole Trap Technique!" and my hand come out of the ground and pull them into the ground up to their necks leaving only their heads exposed to the air, I then pop out of the ground undisturbed and point my sword at hunter and my Chrono Blaster at Blake. "Do you yield boys?" I ask them with a dead serious expression on my face. I can see Hunter struggle to escape the trap, but Blake the smarter one just says
"We yield." and he demorphs followed by his brother who hangs his head in defeat.
I stomp my foot and the boys rise from the ground.
"I didn't want to hurt you or humiliate you boys, As a Ninja Master, I hold no grudge against any Ninja School or Other, I just simply want the next generation, that is you, to grow better than all the previous generations." I tell them with a smile on my face. "Oh and never forget that there are other rangers out there, and unless they tell you, you may never know who they are." I say with a smirk as my knight friends come up behind me and they four of us show off a wrist mounted morpher.
"Whoa! You four are all rangers?" Hunter exclaims.
"You beat us in no time flat without Morphing." Blake realizes.
"That I did Blake Bradley, Now, I bid you to go and train, Hunter work on your anger without losing your aggression, Blake, This would be a great time to practice with THAT Weapon." I nod to the boys. They bow to me and then run to the forest, I turn to Cam. "Now off to get the Wizard?" and I start to walk over the Illusioned Path and open the Portal for my friends and Cam who follow. We walk safely to Ninja Ops in silence, enter and go into their Command Area, I immediately go up to the Guinea Pig area and Bow to Sensei Watanabe, and Hand him a scroll.
"To dispense with the pleasantries, I present you the Seal of the Great Master Ninjor, which by Honor and Oath, you are bound to follow and assist me in however I need it, To cut to the chase, Im a Dimensional Time Traveler who has been charged with recruiting a team of Rangers to help me Destroy an Evil Ranger in 1969, I am requesting Cam's assistance as a powerful and skilled Ranger, in exchange, The Me of this time, will come and assist you with Lothor and his Army, even if I need to bring a Ranger Army to do so." I tell the Ninja Master with a respectful bow, he bows back and then opens the Scroll and gasps, before setting the scroll down where it vanishes.
"Cam, We are honor bound to assist in this situation, I only ask that you be careful and come back to me, I could not stand to lose you as we have lost your mother." He then turns his back and walks into his hut. I bow to him Deeply as the Knights put their right fist across their chest. I then say aloud.
"Kanoi, I will do everything I can to bring your son home safely."
A muffled cry is heard from inside the hut as we turn to leave in silence, quickly making our way to the ship which we board and take off through the time stream.
5 minutes after the ship took off, the Exact same ship exits the time stream and lands this time right next to Ninja Ops. Two Men, David and Cam exit the ship, Cam with a Backpack that he hadn't had before leaving.
"You are home Cam, Do see your father and cheer him, and don't forget to call me in a week your time, the me of this time will be waiting for your call." I tell him bowing respectfully to him.
He bows backs and says. "I wont forget, If you see Doggie again, thank him again for stopping that boulder from hitting me." He then walks off into Ninja Ops with a smile on his face. I look upon my once home, and smile before re-entering the ship and taking off.
(AN: A brief look into the future of the fic because I want to, each chapter of recruiting will have this at the end of it, because come on, did You actually expect Psycho Green to win?)
