Author's Note: It has been over a year since I updated this story and in doing so have completely lost the plot to continue it. But thanks to some prodding from the person who requested this story and a few friends who have read it, I have finally managed to get into the groove and decided to re-write it, as you know I have done this with a number of stories of mine, and they all turned out amazing. Let's hope I can do the same with this one. Also, another thing that will change in this story is the character pairing, I will be taking it down a new road, and using a character that people seem to skip over. Anyway, I will stop talking now and let you carry on reading, then, maybe and hopefully, you will leave me a review telling me if this is better than before

Title: The Lost Thunder Ninja

Summary: After learning that the Thunder Academy had been destroyed, sixteen year old Hannah Bradley returns to Reefside, California to search for her brothers, Hunter and Blake. However, during her search she will realize that her greatest mistake will be to give up and her hardest deed will be to hold on.

"It's gone!"

Hannah Bradley frowned as she stared around at the baron wasteland that had once been her Thunder Academy training grounds, there was nothing save for the crumbling of rocks, and dusty plains that she used to fight upon, she had been training in Athens for next year's summer Olympics when she had received word from home that something had happened, and her brothers, Hunter and Blake, were missing.

Who could have done something like this? The youngest Bradley through dismally. "I can't be the only student left..." she muttered, surveying the damage that had been caused to her beloved home and school.

Turning her gaze skyward, Hannah noticed how clear everything seemed to be, the outside world had no clue of the turmoil that she was going through, her home had been destroyed, her friends had disappeared and her brothers were also missing, but not two seconds later, a red beam hit the ground, causing a mini earthquake, and knocked Hannah off of her feet.

"Whoa!" Hannah yelped. "What the hell was that?"

"Hello, Thunder Ninja," growled a voice from behind.

Rolling back onto her feet, Hannah gasped and staggered backwards a few steps as a faceless robot appeared in her line of sight. "Who are you?"

"My master calls me Zurgane!"

"Zurgane?" Hannah repeated. "What kind of name is that?"

But Zurgane did not answer. Instead, he removed the two swords that her protruding out of his shoulder pads, crossed them over and fired purple energy blasts at the Thunder Ninja.

"Whoa!" Hannah shrieked, ducking down to avoid the blasts. "What the hell -? Are you out of your freaking mind?"

"Come with me at once," Zurgane ordered. "Lothor has plans for the Thunder academy!"

"Go to hell!" Hannah sneered, her once carefree attitude disappearing almost immediately.

Zurgane growled and tried to attack her again, this time, however, Hannah flipped over backwards to avoid the blast, but when she landed she looked up to see that she was surrounded by freaky looking creatures. They had a scorpion emblem on their face and were dressed in all black jumpsuits with red accents.

"Kelzaks!" she hissed, remembering back to her Ninja History classes.

"Yes!" Zurgane growled. "Now! Get her!"

"I don't think so!" Hannah shouted, ninja-streaking out of the way as the Kelzaks attacked her with their mini swords. Landing a few feet away, Hannah ripped off her out clothing to reveal her Ninja Uniform underneath; it was all black with amber accents around the shoulders, arms, and sides. "Amber Thunder power!" she shouted. "Thunder Staff!"

Pulling the long staff over her shoulder, Hannah swung it in several different directions, before aiming it at Zurgane and the Kelzaks.

"Attack!" Zurgane ordered.

And the fight was on.

~*Lost Thunder Ninja*~

It had started to drizzle, then, after an incredible loud crash of Thunder, it became a full storm.

The rain lashed down, bucket after bucket, on the city of Blue Bay Harbour. The wind threatened to blow over anything that wasn't attached to the ground, people and animals alike, stayed indoors. Very few braved the wrath of which Mother Nature had to offer tonight, all except a squad of rather miserable foot soldiers.

The Wind rangers and their Sensei were safe in Ninja Ops, training, or rather the Rangers were training and their Sensei was teaching, as it should have been.

"Simulation over. Well, that was, below average. It will be on the mainframe if you want to relive any of it."

"Rangers, you were lucky this was only a simulation."

"Sensei, why can't we get this right? Why do we keep failing?"

"That is for you to figure out. Tomorrow, we will try again."

"Come Tor,"

"Hey, wait, where do you think you guys are going?"

"Home, man!"

"Hey, no way, not until we get this right!"

"Sensei said we'll try again tomorrow."

"And dude, if I don't sleep, tomorrow's just going to be a replay of today."

"Look, that's why we gotta keep practicing until you guys get it right,"

"Until we get it right?"

"Look, that's not what I meant,"

"Oh, we know what you meant!"

But this is not about Blue Bay Harbour's weather, or directly about the citizens of the city. This chapter is not even about the foot soldiers but they do appear in the story, it is, of course, about the Ninja's, but they also don't appear until later down the line, even though they have been mentioned above.

No, this chapter is about the solitary figure standing on a rooftop a fair distance away from her home, but a little closer than she should have been to the miserable foot soldiers.

She stood there, motionless, her arms covered in cuts and bruises and wrapped around herself as the rain lashed relentlessly against her. Her leather clothes protected her somewhat against the on slaughter of the wind and rain, and the mask that covered her face was torn, frayed and soaked. Across her back was a staff, something that she had been training with since she was a child.

The wind blew against her wet body making her feel almost as cold on the outside as she felt on the inside. One would think it would be enough to make her go home, go back to her family, but the only problem with that scenario was that she no longer had a family to go home too. She was alone, and she welcomed the stone as it reflected her own true feelings.

She stared, absentmindedly at the rain that was causing Blue Bay Harbour such discomfort. Her brain seemed to have shut down because everything was confusing. She couldn't remember the night's events, but then again, the entire day was a blur. She wished her brothers were here to comfort her - at the thought of her older brothers, she cried, her warm tears mixing with the icy dreaded rain drops

She missed her family.

It seemed fate was against her tonight because not only had it delivered the mystery of her missing academy right to her, but was also bringing a clan of foot soldiers directly into her path. If she had been standing in any other place, she would have missed them completely, but she was standing directly in front of their fore boarding search, completely lost in her own thoughts. Hunter said it happened too often.

She didn't hear them, it was impossible to hear anything over the storm, but she did sense them, but it was at the very last minute and by the time she had turned they were right on top of her. She recognized them; it was the same creatures that had attacked her at the Thunder Academy. Were they following her? Or was it her they had been searching for all this time?

"Kelzaks!" she whispered.

Fifteen menacing figures faced her with their swords drawn. She stared at them in shock, her emerald green eyes wide in horror, and they stared back at her in contempt. The leader of the pack rushed forward and attacked viciously, Hannah drew her weapon and countered the attack sending him flying.

At that - they all attacked.

She did well... at first... especially since she had been injured prior to this attack, but when one slashed at her and caught her across the chest, the injury was closely followed by several more, and her concentration failed as pain riddled her body. She had to leave; it was either that or get her head separated from her shoulders.

I need to find shelter she thought desperately. But how could she? She was surrounded and, worst of all, injured. The only weapon that would be useful now would be the unexpected. Looking around at the foot soldiers, Hannah ran forward and leap frogged over the Kelzack in front of her, the creature was taken by surprise and this gave her a slight advantage, but it wasn't much, because as soon as they realized she was escaping, the Kelzaks were back on her tail.

Hannah reached the end of the rooftop and jumped down the side, falling some way down, before reaching out and grabbing onto the fire escape before hitting the ground. She winced as her legs weren't exactly in the best condition, and standing out in the rain for hours didn't benefit her own health.

Her legs were tired under the amount of training, running and fighting she had done today and her whole body was protesting with each move she took. She needed to rest, but after she got to safety.

The rain, if possible, started to beat down harder causing the leather she was wearing to become heavier and making it near impossible to move, fear was the only emotion that made any sense to her as she ran through the water-logged streets.

With her heart pounding, Hannah glanced over her shoulder, screamed and turned back to face the front, the Kelzaks were still following her as she run blindly through the streets, she didn't care which one she took, as long as it took her away from the enemy.

Before long the streets disappeared and Hannah skidded to a halt in a forest clearing, breathing heavy from all the running she had done, the Thunder Ninja rested against a large oak tree to catch her breath and concentrate on the sounds around her, she didn't know where the Kelzaks had gone, but just because she couldn't see them didn't mean they weren't there.

There was a sound and she couldn't sense anything either.

"I lost them," she whispered, sinking to her knees and shivering uncontrollably. She was exhausted, both physically and mentally, and her body felt like it was on fire and her head was ready to explode. Pain, fear and loss were the only things she could feel.

After a few minutes rest, Hannah was back on her feet and ready to take off again, she knew that she had to keep moving, if she didn't the Kelzaks would find her. As she stood, a wave of vertigo hit her and she stumbled as her world swayed and blurred, a whimper escaped her frozen lips and she placed her cold and numb hand to the trunk of the tree beside her for support, before continuing onwards.

The forest stretched on for miles and every tree looked the same, they were taunting her, telling her that her only path was one that she couldn't see. It sounded crazy, but it held some truth. She couldn't see her path, and whichever way it pointed she was blinded from seeing it.

Minutes felt like hours and soon it felt like she had been walking for days, when she suddenly stopped at the faintest sound of a twig snapping.

Turning on the spot, Hannah spied into the green forestry, but saw nothing. She could have been delirious... could she really have been hearing things? It was a possibility; she was tired, cold, and hungry and needed to rest, badly, so there was a chance that she could be hearing things.

When the sound ceased, she continued onwards, only to stop for a third time when she heard another snap. Something... or someone... was in the forest with her and they were closing in. Reaching over her shoulder for her staff, Hannah looked around carefully, ready to run or fight at any given moment, but nothing was there.

Her senses were tingling and she knew that it meant she was in trouble.

Dread pooled into the pit of her stomach and she swallowed nervously as footsteps echoed nearby, she backed away slowly, silently and carefully, her hand still resting on her staff as she prepared herself for the inevitable; she had no will left to run and she wasn't about to just surrender, she hadn't been trained to give up.

Hannah felt her heart rate increase and her hands began to tremble followed, reluctantly, by the rest of her body; her senses were going crazy, and she knew that this meant that the danger was closer than she had anticipated. She felt ashamed, her fear was obvious and she wasn't doing a damned thing to disguise it.

Ninja's were supposed to be fearless in the face of danger and she was giving in... But she was too tired.

Hunter and Blake wouldn't have cowered, they wouldn't have shown fear they would have stood and gone looking for the danger, instead of the danger finding them. A sob escaped her lips and she felt that she would cry all over again, all this was too much for her, her family, the Ninja academy, the Kelzaks and now this? It was too much for one person to handle alone.

She heard the snapping of twigs again and this time it was accompanied by a small murmur.

"She went this way,"

They were close - too close.

Hannah breathed in sharply and turned her head of a fraction of an inch to the right as movement flashed across the trees. She screamed at the top of her lungs before her world blurred and the next thing she saw was darkness.

~*Lost Thunder Ninja*~

After a fight with his friends, Shane Clark made his lonesome way through the damp forest; he needed to get home before his parents started to worry. If only he realized that he was walking towards a terrified sixteen year old who would have more than likely kicked his ass if she had the energy.

As he trudged onwards a piercing scream cut through the air, and in alarm he raised his head towards where he thought it had come from his guess was confirmed when he saw a body sway and hit the ground seconds later, a black figure looming over it. Using a burst of air, he sent it at the figure which disappeared seconds after it had appeared leaving its victim unconscious on the floor.

Carefully approaching the body, Shane was able to pick out details; first thing he noticed something he really should have taken into account before and his shock only grew as he moved closer to inspect the person on the ground, at last he stood over them and stared down at it, or rather her, in disbelief.

The being he had saved was in fact a ninja! It was impossible not to see that; she was clad in Ninja-gear quite similar to his own, except instead of red accents hers were amber. Although there were gashes in the clothing and thick clots of blood seemed to have leaked out of them and onto her gear.

And to make this even stranger she had a staff strapped across her back, where she learned to use it he would find out later, but right now it was clear that she needed medical attention and he couldn't very well drop her off at the emergency room looking the way she did, she would surely rise suspicions.

The only other place he knew that was safe enough to take her was Ninja Ops.

Cam's gonna love this! He thought as he carefully lifted the small body into his arms, realizing how light she seemed to be despite being water-logged. He knew how heavy leather felt when it was full of water. He needed to get her to safety, as quickly as he could.

"It's alright," he murmured, unsure of whether she was could hear him or not, "you're safe now!" he walked swiftly back along the path he had just taken trying his best not to jostle her too much. He could have Ninja-streaked but he didn't know what condition she was in under her Ninja-gear and he didn't want to risk hurting her any more than she already was.

Luckily they weren't from Ninja Ops, only a few more minutes and they would be there.

As he turned down towards the lake, he wondered what kind of change this new Ninja would bring, and that also depended on what reaction Cam, his father, Tori and Dustin would have.

~*Lost Thunder Ninja*~

Soon he reached Ninja Ops and quickly entered to find Cam at the Mainframe.

"Cam!" Shane called, startling the poor boy. "She needs help!"

"She?" Cam frowned, spinning around on his chair and finally looking up to see what the Red ranger meant, his eyes grew huge and he leapt off the computer chair and rushed over to have a better look.

His father, also clearly interest jumped across the room and landed on the table as Shane set the female down on the surface. Cam disappeared to grab his first aid kit while Shane rushed to get a bowl of water to clean her wounds.

There was only so much he could do until she was conscious enough to remove her Ninja clothing or until Tori was back to help, there was no way he was removing her clothing; that was just wrong. Especially to girl a barely knew... hell, he wouldn't even do that to Tori. But he could remove her mask and wash the gashes on her face.

As to make her more comfortable on the table, Cam removed her staff from her back when he returned, and placed it on the table beside her.

"That's a Thunder staff," Cam said inspecting he weapon as it lay in front of him. "Do you think she's a Thunder Ninja?" he asked his father.

"It would seem so," Sensei nodded. "But we will get more answers once she is awake. For now let her sleep."

Cam nodded.

"Do you think she knows how to use it?" Shane asked, eyeing the Staff.

"I don't think she would have it if she didn't know how to use it," Cam replied.

Shane shrugged. "Yeah, but how well do you think she can use it?" he asked.

"Let's move her to the spare room," Sensei ordered. "She might be more comfortable there than here!"

This sounded logical.

"Shane, if you will," Sensei said, motioning to the still unconscious female.

Shane nodded and picked her up again, moving her off to the spare room. After he had her settled, he returned to Cam and Sensei before heading home. His head consumed of thoughts of the female he had saved, and who he had saved her from.

But something told him that he wouldn't have to wait too long to find out!"
