Spoilers: Takes place right after 'Thunder Strangers Part 2'.
Summery: After Thunder Strangers Part 2, Tori gets captured. Now its up to Dustin, Shane, Cam, and some new girl to find her before it's too late… the question is: Is that possible?
A/N: I don't know what that one store Dustin and Shane work at is called, so I'm just gonna call it 'Sport Chargers', k?
"If you hurt him, I will hunt you down," Tori threatened the two Thunder Rangers standing before them, giving up on trying to believe they weren't her so-called friends, Blake and Hunter.
Hunter and Blake glanced at each other before throwing Cam forwards. "Leave him," Hunter stated. "We've got what we wanted."
Shane hurriedly pushed Cam behind him as the Thunder Rangers departed in a hefty firework of smoke.
"Is everyone ok?" Tori inquired as soon as she was certain they were gone.
Without answering, Cam pushed forwards and made his way hastily over to where Sensei stayed. He silently stood up and pulled off his glasses, still staring at the empty miniature shrine.
"My father…" he breathed, "They took my father."
Tori felt her friends tense beside her, and brought her gaze to the floor. "I… I'm sorry, Cam… I…how…?"
Shane turned to her and placed a hand gently on her shoulder, "Listen, Tor, it's not your fault."
"Yah it is, Shane. It is…" Tori replied, pushing his hand away. "The old Prince Charming Saves The Day Act and I fell for it… I fell for it."
"Listen to Shane, Tori," Dustin told her, "It's not your fault."
Tori shook her head and hastily ran out of the Ninja Opts, not wanting their sorrow nor any inquires. The only thoughts running through her head were along the lines of: 'I swear I will track you down, Blake, and I swear I will make you pay.'
"Tori! Wait up!" Shane shouted from behind her, but she ignored him and made her way farther into the woods, coming up with various methods of torture.
As she reached the edge of the woods, Tori stared in disgust at the passenger seat of her sky blue van. He had sat there… He had pretended not to know what had happened as he sat there. In a moment of blind furry, she sent her fist straight through the passenger window.
"Dammit," She muttered, pulling back her fist and staring at it. She shook her head roughly and muttered, "He'll pay… in the meantime though… I need my van detailed…"
~~*~~
Moonlight shined down on the waves, making them shimmer as they splashed against her ankles. She sat on the shore as she stared out at the waves.
The beach was isolated at this point of night, left with Tori as its only occupant. Or so she thought…
At the echo of footsteps padding across the sand behind her, Tori instinctively turned. Her expression grew to one of pure abhorrence as she saw who was standing there. "Where's Sensei? And where's your brother?"
Hunter paused, "And I would answer either of those questions because…?"
She glared at him, "Why are you here?"
"I'm out for a walk… gees… why are you out at this time anyways?" Hunter replied without missing a beat.
"None of your beeswax," she told him, beginning to get uncomfortable. She was all too aware of the fact that her morpher was in her van about a quarter of a mile away.
He smirked, "Too bad."
She quickly spun around, only to see kulzaks advancing towards her. Tori was suddenly fairly happy she had worn her Wind Ninja Academy uniform, being as most of her other outfits were tough to fight in.
Quickly ducking as a kulzak threw a punch at her head, she kicked it in the stomach, happy with the result of the kulzak flying backwards. She managed to flip another one, now trying to inch her way over to her van, but Hunter saw right through that trick.
Finally she saw the overwhelming odds: about fifty-three kulzaks, and one in morph ranger standing around and watching… and guarding the path to her van.
"Shoot," she muttered under her breath as she ducked down and tripped another kulzak. "Shane, Dustin… where are you?"
"They're not coming," Hunter sneered. Unfortunately- Tori knew he was right, because she didn't have her morpher on, they couldn't track, nor find her.
She felt something hard hit the back of her head, and then all went black.
The kulzaks around disappeared as Hunter made his way over to her, now morphed back to normal. He quickly felt her wrists, and noticing that she wasn't wearing her morpher, smirked.
He picked her off the ground and carried her to his red car. Hunter dumped her in the backseat before making his way to her van and snatching her morpher. After sticking her morpher in his pocket, he made his way back to his car and climbed in the drivers seat before speeding away…
~~*~~
Even though the sun was shining and the weather was beautiful the next morning, Cam, Dustin and Shane were far from happy. Hey hadn't heard from Tori since the night before, and no one was picking up at her house. Even worse was the fact that a few vacationers on the beach had found signs of struggle, blood, and her van.
Cam was hastily typing stuff into the Ninja Opts main computer, trying his best to find traces of her… or his father. He was also trying to find the location of the crimson and navy Thunder Rangers.
"There!" He shouted finally, and in seconds Shane and Dustin were standing on either side of the computer eager to find out what he found. Cam pointed to the screen, "There's Blake…"
"Thanks, bro!" Dustin congratulated as he quickly followed Shane out of Ninja Opts.
Fifteen minutes later, they were dashing into their favorite sports store, Sports Chargers, and sure enough there stood Blake.
Oblivious to the surrounding people, and without pausing, Shane ran over to the navy Thunder ranger and got a good hold on his neck. "Where's Tori?" Shane demanded.
"Hell if I know," Blake replied, "Your the one's who are supposed to be her friends."
Dustin slapped him hard across the head, "Hell if you live through any encounter you ever have with her again. Now tell me, where is she?"
Kelly quickly made her way over to them, "Whoa. Boys, calm down!"
Shane ignored her, "Where is she, dammit?"
"How would I know?" Blake told him smugly.
Dustin glared at him, "You'd know because you're the one who was stupid enough to use her to get to… You're the reason why she was out last night beating up her van. And you're the reason she got attacked. Now answer our question; where is Tori?"
Kelly looked back and forth at each of them; "Obviously I missed something, now boys, would you mind being reasonable and calming down? You probably can talk this out."
"That's what we're doing," Shane informed her. "Now where the hell is she?"
"Tori's missing…?" Kelly asked.
Dustin rolled his eyes, "Check the news, Kelly, see if there are any updates. As for you, Blake, what did you do?"
"Um… excuse me, but are you Kelly?" a new voice cut into the conversation. They turned to see a girl with elbow-length blonde hair streaked in purple, pale skin, and hazel eyes dressed in flared-out jeans with random cuts on them, a purple tank top, a black leather jacket and high black boots hidden under her jeans. No one noticed as Blake's eyes widened.
Kelly
nodded, "Yes but I'm busy right now, can you come back in a few minutes?"
"I just wanted to know if you sold decent roller blades here… that or surf
boards." The girl shrugged, looking around her eyes resting on Shane, Dustin,
and Blake. "Actually, I'll get back to you."
The girl easily removed Shane's tight grip on Blake's neck and tossed him
aside. She grabbed Blake tightly on his left wrist and dragged him out of the
shop, looking thoroughly ticked off.
"Man," Dustin muttered as he helped Shane off the ground. "Who was that girl?"
At that precise moment, Cam dashed into the shop looking terrified, "Dustin, Shane…did you guys see a girl in here? Er… about fifteen, a little shorter than me, blonde hair, brownish eyes?"
"Yah," Shane muttered, dusting himself off. "And she just let Blake get away."
"No, Shane… she didn't- now come on if you want to talk to him while he's still somewhat alive!" Cam urged.
As the group walked out of the shop, Dustin said, "Er… Cam? A little info on this girl-person might be nice."
Cam glanced at them and sighed, "Her name is Ketsueki, but call her Kit. She's fifteen and is the last remnant of the Tsuki-Mizu Academy of magick and some other form of fighting… she's also my hot-tempered and violent cousin."
"Dammit," her voice rang out as they approached her. Kit turned to face them, still looking angry, "Cam… please tell me that these two brick-heads aren't the Wind Rangers! They don't even know how to torture someone for information right!"
Cam sighed, "Wish I could say they aren't…"
"Hey!" Shane glared daggers at Cam before turning to Kit. "What happened to Blake?"
"Portal," she answered simply, before walking towards a purple convertible with glittery orange flames painted on the front. "Do you guys need a ride back?"
When the three boys nodded, Kit smirked and tossed a set of keys at Shane, "Cool- you're driving."
Shane climbed into the driver seat, and Dustin into the passenger, while Cam took the seat behind drivers next to Ketsueki.
Kit pulled a silver-purple backpack off the floor and pulled a laptop and self-phone out of it, before literally dumping the backpack on Cam. She quickly opened the small computer and typed in a few things and a full Internet connection showed up. She clicked a button hidden in the corner of the screen, and again typed in a few things. She was now smiling happily as she clicked a few more things.
Cam turned to read over her shoulder to find that she was instant messaging people. He read as she typed away in a chat-room labeled 'Wicca World Chatroom 12'.

Kit X-ed the screen out as they pulled up to the woods.
"Um… Kit? You sure its safe in there?" Cam asked, pointing at her laptop to make it obvious he was talking about the chatroom.
Kit nodded, "Cam, I know every member of that sight, and I trust them all. I'll give you the address- you might like it. Everyone on it are computer and magick freaks trying to puzzle out what's happened to the Ninja Academies.
She stuffed her laptop back into her backpack and jumped out of the convertible. She walked around to the trunk and easily opened the trunk. Kit pulled out three duffle bags and handed one to each of the guys to carry as she slung her backpack over her shoulders.
Shane struggled with the heavy load of the black bag he was carrying as he led the group through the forest.
~~*~~
Tori slowly opened her eyes, trying to ignore the throbbing pain in her head. By the dim light from a fire and the cold stonewalls, she figured she was in a cage of some sort. Her wrists were shackled to the wall she was leaning against as she kneeled somewhat on the sandy cave floor.
"Took you long enough to wake up," Hunter told her as he walked into the cave with some logs to fuel the fire. "Would've thought you were dead… if you hadn't been breathing."
Tori shifted around uncomfortably, not happy at all as she remembered what had happened. "Why didn't you just go ahead and kill me?"
"The kulzaks were gonna toss you in the ocean," Hunter said shrugging. "I'm still trying to figure out why I stopped them…"
"Very comforting thoughts," Tori muttered sarcastically.
"Shut up," Hunter said calmly before holding up her morpher. "Say another word and I'll lure your friend into a trap."
Tori immediately became quiet, now staring wide eyed at her morpher.
Hunter tapped at it a few times and smirked, "Hello, Wind Rangers."
"Oh, Hunter! So nice to hear from you again!" a female voice came through.
Hunter's eyes narrowed, "What are you doing there, Ketsueki?"
"Okay then. Where in all ten hells are Blake, Sensei, and Tori?! Tell me or I'll hunt you down myself!" Kit shouted, beginning to sound extremely angry.
"But the Wind Rangers on, Kit, if you ever want to see your uncle alive again." Hunter threatened.
Seconds later, Shane's voice rang, "Where's Tori?"
"Nice to see you again too," Hunter said sarcastically. "But this on wide screen, I've got something to show you."
A few clicking sounds could be heard as Cam got out a wide screen, and Kit shouting in the distance, "Imbecile! The red button first unless you want to watch DVDs!"
"Okay," Shane sneered.
With a smirk, Hunter turned the morpher towards Tori for a minute. She was staring at the ground; oblivious as to what was going on… she just wanted her friends to be safe.
He smirked again at the looks on their faces, and shut off the morpher. He considered smashing it against the wall, but decided against it, as he may need it for blackmail purposes later.
Hunter walked over to Tori and unclasped the shackles. Within seconds of having her wrists free, she was dashing for the entrance like Hunter had known she was going to. He grabbed her right wrist roughly and pulled her back as he fished through his stuff and pulled out a rope.
She glared sharper things than daggers at him as he tied her wrists together and walked her out of the cave…
