Chapter Seventeen: Crimson's Revenge Part Three

Two Streaks of Red and Crimson landed about 200 yards from the warehouse were Tori was being held. Adrenaline pumped in the Wind and Thunder Ninjas veins, eyes wide, their pupils dilated so big that their eyes looked black. "You ready?" Red murmured as he and Crimson placed their Ninja hoods over their heads.

Crimson nodded, a low growl escaping his throat. "Let's do this."

Red nodded and in a blink of an eye they were off in two Streaks, heading at their full speed toward the steel warehouse. As they neared the doors their speeds picked up even more. They planned to burst in there in the normal hero glory: busting in, kicking the bad guy's ass's and saving the girl. But their glory was cut short when Crimson and Red suddenly crashed into the steel doors.

Jake's gaze snapped toward there the loud crash had come from. "What the hell was that?"

Xander looked up from where he and Tony were trying to control a pissed off Tori. "Go check it out; no one knows we're here…OW! You little bitch!" His now bloody hand flew across Tori's face. "That's for biting me."

Tori's normal bright and shining aquamarine eyes were now filled with hate and disgust "You have no idea what you've gotten yourself into."

His hand flew across her other cheek, "shut up you little bitch."

Her eyes narrowed as her face throbbed, but she didn't say anything.

Jake flung open the steel door and looked outside. He carefully looked around, nothing seemingly out of the ordinary, what he didn't notice was that two Streaks flew passed him while he was distracted. All he felt was the wind that they left in their wake. Shrugging he closed the door. "Nobody out there Xander."

Xander cautiously looked around the warehouse, his eyes trying to pinpoint the unseen force that'd hit the door.

Crimson groaned softly and rubbed the place on his forehead where it'd connected with the steel door, knowing there'd be a bump there. "What happened? Why couldn't we bust in there?" He whispered, confused.

Red shook his head as he rubbed the identical spot on his forehead, "no idea. I'd say it could be some kind of Ninja magic, but that's impossible."

"Let's hope it is."

Back at Ninja Ops…

The alarms suddenly began blaring out through the cave. Cyber Cam heard a loud yelp from Blake, apparently with a mondo headache from his fight with Xander and his gang. He winced in sympathy for the Navy Ranger and quickly went to check the problem. He groaned when he saw that Lothor had sent down yet another monster for the Rangers to deal with. "Dude, this is so not the Ranger's lucky day."

Cam dashed into the room, looking slightly harassed. "Now what?"

The replica pointed at the screen, "Lothor seems to have the worst timing."

Cam groaned, "Perfect…" He picked up his morpher that hung around his neck. "Cam for Dustin, Cam for Dustin."

The Yellow Ranger all but snarled into his morpher. "What?"

"Sorry to interrupt your brooding, but there's a monster downtown."

"Surprise, surprise. And I don't brood, that's Hunter's territory."

"Right…can you get away?"

"Yeah, what about the others?"

"Blake's in no condition to fight, Hunter and Shane are working on rescuing Tori."

"Ok, on it dude."

Back at the warehouse…

Red and Crimson were crouched down low, within hearing distance of the three; they were currently plotting to ransom Tori to the others. Crimson growled louder than intended, catching Jake's attention. He took several steps to where they were hidden, his eyes searching for anything out of the ordinary.

"What're you doing Jake?" Xander growled at him. "Get back here."

Jake whirled around, his eyes narrowing dangerously at his leader. "I heard something and was checking it out." He turned and continued looking in the direction where Crimson and Red where. His eyes landed on where they were for a spilt second, causing them to freeze. But he kept looking and turned back to the other two. They both let out sighs of relief, they hadn't been caught. Suddenly three Streaks of black darted at them, knocking them down to the cement floor.

Red groaned and looked up, his breath catching in his throat. It was Tony, Jake and Xander wearing…Ninja uniforms? This can't be happening, he thought to himself. "No way," he heard Crimson utter the same thing he was thinking. He did a quick view over of the three, the donned the same uniform as he and Crimson, the only difference was their symbol. It was the symbol of the Lightning Academy. Red exchanged a look with Crimson before leaping to their feet in defensive stances.

Tony snorted with amusement. "Oh please, do you really think you can fight us off, Wind and Thunder?"

"Watch us," Thunder growled.

Xander smirked, "bring it."

End Chapter

AN2- I know, I'm evil for leaving it there right? Yeah, I know. But I really wanted to stretch this out a bit more, so the fight and conclusion (not the end of the fic) will be done. There will be more after the next chapter. Ok, please leave a review. No flames please! Thanks!
