A/N: Oh my god you guys, I am so tired. I'm about ready to collapse. It took a few days, but here's chapter two!

A Hurricane by Any Other Name

Chapter Two: There's No I in Team

xxxxxxxxxx

"C'mon you guys!"

"Ow, Shane!"

"Ugh, this could take all day," Shane muttered, looking around as he dragged Tori and Dustin along behind him.

"Ow, Shane, will you stop pulling?" Tori snapped, rubbing her wrist. "My wrist is totally tweaked."

"Sorry Tor," The red ranger said. "It would be so much faster if we could just split up!"

"Not to mention less painful," The water ninja sniffed.

"Y'know, this scroll of three thing better be worth it man," Dustin said, breaking his unusual silence. "These cuffs are brutal!" He tapped the chains that connected him to Shane and, through the red ranger, Tori.

"Sensei would not have sent us if it weren't important," Shane reminded the motocrosser. "It's gotta be around here somewhere!"

"Ow!" Tori yelped as Shane tugged on her wrist again.

"What kind of scroll are we talking about anyway?" Dustin wanted to know.

"I'm thinking if we see a scroll anywhere around here, that's probably it," Tori said, raising her eyebrows at the curly-brown haired male.

"Okay, well..." Dustin began, stopping. "There's one."

"Whoa...that's totally it-WHOA!" Tori cried as Shane suddenly yanked her and Dustin forward. "Wait, it says something..."

"Stronger as one then three?" The red ranger said skeptically.

"What-that's it?" Dustin wanted to know. "We'd be better off buying fortune cookies!"

"Let's just grab it and bail," The female of the group suggested.

"I'll get it!" Shane said, leaping forward and dragging the other two with him.

They fell, tumbling to the ground.

"Who's on my foot? Shane!" The yellow ranger cried.

"That was so not effective..." Tori groaned.

"I could do this myself," Shane grumbled. At that instant, the three were surrounded by Kelzaks.

"Uh, Kelzak, party of ten," Dustin said, as if his teammates hadn't noticed.

The Kelzaks attacked, and the three rangers' tried their best to fight while connected by the cuffs.

"Will you stop pulling my arm Shane?" Tori snapped as the red dragged them around the battlefield.

"Don't pull bro!" Dustin cried.

The three attempted a flip, but fell to the ground. A Kelzak slashed at them, and the cuffs fell off.

"You guys stay here!" Shane commanded. "I'll get the scroll!"

"Hey wait!" Dustin yelled.

"Shane!" Tori cried as the two were overpowered by the Kelzaks and thrown to the ground.

The air ninja hesitated, glancing between his helpless friends and the scroll they'd traveled to get.

"Tori! Dustin!" Shane cried as the Kelzaks rushed in to attack his friends, before everything fell away and the backdrop of Ninja Ops returned. "I almost had it!"

"Simulation over," Cam's voice said as the geek pressed a button on his laptop. "Well, that was...below average," Cam continued as he shut his computer. "It'll be on the mainframe...if you want to relive any of it."

"Rangers," Their Sensei began. "You are lucky this was only a simulation."

"Sensei," Tori sighed. "Why can't we get this right? Why do we keep failing?"

"That is for you to figure out," Sensei glanced around at all of them. "Tomorrow we will try again."

"C'mon Tor," Dustin said as the two began to head out of Ninja Ops.

"Hey!" Shane said, stopping the two. "Wait! Where are you guys going?"

"Home, man," Dustin answered. He and Tori shared a glance.

"Hey, no, wait, not until we get this right!" The air ninja argued.

"Sensei said we'd try again tomorrow," Tori reminded him, looking really worn out.

"And, dude, if I don't sleep," Dustin paused, yawning heavily. "Tomorrow's just gonna be a replay of today."

"Look, that's why we gotta get practicing, until you guys get it right!" Shane said, not really aware of what he was saying.

"Until WE get it right?" Tori asked unbelievingly.

"Look, that's not what I meant," The red ranger replied, trying to backtrack.

"oh, we know what you meant!" Tori snapped, turning around and walking out, Dustin following.

Shane made a face, then dashed after them. He grabbed their arms and whirled them around. "This is not ninja school anymore. This is the real deal and if your not willing to focus on what's important then-"

"Dude," Dustin cut the other off. "If you think you can do a better job, by yorself, then...then just go for it man!" The male tensed his shoulders, just daring the red ranger to say something back.

"Maybe I will," The skateboarder hissed.

"Fine!" Tori said, whirling around and walking out.

"Later dude," Dustin said, before following her out.

"Ugh. I just can't this one piece to fit!"

It was the next day, and Cam was at his keyboard again, working on some new program.

"If I could just find a way to harness more power from the hydrolics systems..." The genius trailed off.

"Some kinds of power cannot be found in a computer," His father said from the table, where he was working on a puzzle.

Cam turned around in his computer chair to stare disbelievingly. "What other kind is there?" The tech wanted to know, before minimizing a screen as he saw two out of three rangers descend down into Ninja Ops. "Where's Shane?"

"I dunno. Single-handedly saving the world?" Dustin muttered as he and Tori walked up to where Sensei was.

"Yeah...I guess it's nice, being a one-man army," Tori rolled her eyes.

"Each piece has it's place. Shane will learn, but you must help him!" The guinea pig informed his students as the yellow ranger rubbed at his face, tiredly.

"That's the problem. He won't let us help."

"He will," Sensei nodded gravely. "Give him time."

xxxxxxxxxx

"Kelly! We're here!" Layla shouted as she, Alexa, and Kiley walked into Storm Chargers.

"Oh good," The redhead smiled, appearing from the backroom. "Alexa, register please. Kiley, we just got a shipment of clothes. The boxes are in the backroom. And Layla, there's a customer who has been staring at gloves for the past half hour. He could use some help."

"We're on it," Alexa promised as the three split ways. The strawberry blond slid behind the counter and punched in, setting up her laptop as she waited for something non-boring to happen.

Or, she supposed, she could settle for a customer to come check out.

xxxxxxxxxx

There was a flash of bright light, and two females, stuck back-to-back, appeared.

"Ugh, get off!" The pink-haired one, Kapri, groaned. "You're hurting me!"

"Yeah; well, you're on my-" Brown-haired Marah was cut off as they both noticed Shane skating nearby.

"Wasn't that a power ranger?" Marah asked, wide-eyed. Kapri just looked at her.

"Yeah, you think?" She said as the two struggled to stand up. "C'mon!"

"I was right!" Marah exclaimed happily as she held up a device that scanned Shane, and then beeped, telling her he was the red ranger. "It's definately a ranger!"

"Oh, yeah, and what do we do when we see a ranger, huh?" Her sister shot back. "C'mon!" She yelled when Marah just sat there looking confused.

"Don't rush me!" Marah pouted. As Kapri turned away, she opened the device. "Command, ship, send. There!" She exclaimed, holding it up to the sky.

Another flash of light, and then there stood a monster who looked like a mix of a light socket and a magnet.

"Ha ha ha ha ha! It's time to make some connections!" He laughed evilly, heading off to go find the first of his prey.

xxxxxxxxxx

Alexa groaned, furiously stabbing one of the buttons on the cash register. "Kelly!" She yelled. "The register doesn't like me!"

"And that's a shock how?" Layla snorted.

The redheaded owner just sighed, coming over to help Alexa out. "Press this button right here," She said, pressing a non descript gray one. The register's tray shot open.

"Oh..." Alexa smiled sheepishly as the door rang and in came a dark-skinned male in red holding a skateboard.

"Hey Kel," The male said.

"Hey Shane," Kelly smiled. "Shane, meet Alexa. Alexa, Shane."

"Nice to meet you," Alexa offered as she tried to open the tray again by herself.

"New in town?" Shane asked, looking slightly forlorn.

"Been here about a week and a half with my best friends," Alexa nodded.

"Is everything okay? Anything you want to talk about?" The owner asked the male.

Shane blinked, then looked over at Alexa.

"I'm not here," She promised, leaving the register to Kelly and going to help Kiley deal with the 'evil clothes rack monster'.

Shane sighed, rubbing his head. "You're a good boss, right?"

"No one's ever quit on me," She replied.

"So...how do you do it? What's the trick?"

CRASH.

"Dammit Kiley!"

"Agh! Alexa! Save me from the evil monster!"

"Layla, put the broom down NOW!"

The store lapsed into silence again, and Kelly sighed, turning her attention back to the male in front of her.

"There's no trick. You just...work with them. Give them a chance. We're more...like teammates, y'know?"

"Yeah, but...how can you be sure things won't get messed up if you don't do them yourself?" The skateboarder wanted to know.

"I trust the people around me. Especially my friends," The redhead smiled as Shane looked pensive. "Take Alexa, Layla, and Kiley for example. I haven't known them long, but I trust them to do things right. Even if it takes Layla chasing Kiley around the store with a broom to do so."

Silence settled around them, and then they could hear a voice outside.

"Put me down!"

"What was that?" Kelly asked as Shane turned around. As things went flying by the store window, her three employees ran up.

"What's up?" Kiley asked.

"Don't know...stay here," Shane told the four females, nodding at them and taking out the door. "I'll check."

Layla huffed indignantly as the skateboarder disappeared out the door. "Males. Why are they such idiots?"

Alexa glanced at her two best friends, then looked at Kelly. "We'll be right back Kels."

"But, you guys-"

"We're taking our thirty-minute break!" Kiley called cheerfully as they ran out the door.

"Guys-"

"Don't worry! We'll be fine!" Layla yelled.

"-I don't give thirty minute breaks," The owner groaned.

xxxxxxxxxx

Shane ran down a set of stairs where he came face-to-face with a monster...he was pulling people into giant piles and then turning them into metal.

"So what's up with this?" Shane snapped, sliding into a fighting position.

"I think I'm lost!" The monster replied cheerfully. "Can you tell me where I might find a power ranger?"

"There's one right in front of you, you idiot!" The slightly whiny and annoyed tone of Kapri yelled.

"I thought he looked familiar," The monster nodded. "Take-that!" He yelled, throwing a power blast at the skateboarder.

"Whoa!" Shane ducked and rolled. Something metal caught him in the stomach and he winced.

"This is fun! Do you think your little playmates have the metal to join us?"

"I can take you myself tin can!" Shane hissed.

"Oh you think so?" The monster laughed, throwing more blasts at him. The teenager jumped over the rail, dodging various metal objects before landing on the ground.

xxxxxxxxxx

"Ugh, that looked like it hurt," Kiley whispered.

"Don't you think we should help him?" Layla said pointedly to their leader.

Alexa shook her head. "He's courageous enough to take on one of Lothor's creations by himself; let's see what he's got."

Layla and Kiley exchanged glances, but said nothing.

xxxxxxxxxx

"What's up Cam?" Tori asked as the alarms went off.

"It's Shane," The tech replied, pointing at the screen. "...And some weird magnethead thing. I tapped into the police surveilance system when I saw the power readings were off the chart."

"We better help him," Tori said, looking over at Dustin. He nodded, and the two ran towards the exit out of Ninja Ops.

"Wait," Sensei called, and the two halted, spinning around. "I will let you know when it is time."

The yellow and blue rangers shared disbelieving looks.

xxxxxxxxxx

"Whoa!" Shane cried as he dodged a kick from the metalhead he was facing. It was soon obvious that he couldn't do much in non-morphed state, so he smirked, getting into position.

"NINJA STORM, RANGER FORM, HA!" He called, quickly morphing into the red ranger. "POWER OF AIR!"

At that moment, he could've sworn he heard gasps, but he shook it off. "Get ready to be recycled!" He taunted his foe.

"What's the matter, ranger?" The monster teased. "Your friends not... Sticking with you?"

"I told you, I don't need them!"

"Have it your way," The monster chuckled.

"I always do!" Shane spat back.

"Take this!" The monster gathered magnetic energy, before releasing it at Shane.

"Ahhh!" The red ranger cried as he was dragged all the way towards an old car.

xxxxxxxxxx

"He just made a Burger King reference!" Kiley gasped.

"Kiles! Not important right now!" Layla snapped. "What's important is a fellow ninja is getting his butt kicked!"

Alexa nodded. "I say we help him out. What do you think?"

"Let's do it!" Kiley and Layla chroused.

"HURRICANE STORM, RANGER FORM, HA!"

A fighting suit appeared in a flurry of white flashes on Alexa's body. She looked up, and a white helmet snapped onto her head. Above her visor was a golden embelm of a fox.

"White Hurricane Ranger! Power of ice!"

In a flash of black smoke, a black suit covered Layla's body. She too looked up, and a black helmet snapped into place, a twinkling golden embelm of a snake perched on her forehead.

"Black Hurricane Ranger! Power of fire!"

Purple swirls surronded Kiley and, when they died down, she stood in a purple version of the ranger suit. She looked up, and her helmet was donned. On it was a golden embelm of a giraffe.

"Purple Hurricane Ranger! Power of energy!"

"Oh, my god, this is so sweet!" Kiley squealed. Layla rolled her eyes behind her helmet.

"C'mon guys, we've got a fellow ranger to save," The fire ninja said, and the three made their way towards the battle.

xxxxxxxxxx

"And...CUT!" The monster exclaimed, hitting the red ranger squarely. Soon he was buried under a whole bunch of metal. "Heh heh heh..."

"I...can't handle this alone!" The red ranger started, but was quickly cut off.

"OI METALHEAD!" A voice exclaimed, and the monster turned around.

"More rangers? Wait...They don't come in black, white, and purple!"

"They do now!" The purple one exclaimed excitedly, seemingly bouncing on her toes.

The monster growled. "I don't have time for this...KELZAKS!" At once the black-and-red minions appeared, surronding the three new mysterious rangers.

"This was so not in the handbook!" The black one groaned.

"Now...where were we?" The monster chuckled, turning back around to face Shane.

xxxxxxxxxx

"Tori! Dustin! I need your help!" The Shane on screen called.

"Now?" The earth ninja asked, whirling around to face his Sensei.

"Now," The guinea pig nodded.

"Let's do it," Tori said, coming to stand next to Dustin. "NINJA STORM, RANGER FORM, HA!"

"Power of water!"

"Power of earth!"

xxxxxxxxxx

"Stupid! Effing! Kelzak!" Layla yelled, punching the crap out of one minion who was trying to throw her onto the ground.

"Hey, Ice, I think Fire needs some anger management," Kiley giggled as she wielding her weapon, a large double-edged purple axe. "Energy axe!"

"And this is news...how?" Alexa grinned beneath her helmet as she ducked under a Kelzak's punch. "Ice lance!"

"Very funny guys," Layla grumbled, pulling out her own weapon. "Fire bow!" She called, releasing an arrow, which lit on fire, then split into five.

Suddenly two blurs, one light blue, the other yellow, sped around the warehouse before landing, having obviously attacked the nasty magnet.

"Ow!" The monster yelled, flying into a pile of boxes.

"Hey," Kiley grinned. "It's the other rangers."

"Good, they saved Shane," Layla sighed. "FUCK! Where the hell do these things keep coming from?" She yelled as more Kelzaks appeared.

xxxxxxxxxx

"Shane!" Tori called out. "Are you okay?"

"Fine now!" The red ranger replied, pushing off all the junk that was piled on top of him. "You...you guys came!"

"Of course we did," Tori smiled.

"Looks like we weren't the only ones, man. When did we get white, purple, and black rangers?" Dustin wanted to know as the other three in ranger suits continued to fight off Kelzaks.

"Dunno, dude," Shane shrugged. "Hey...I can't believe I was such a jerk."

"Oh, I totallly can," The yellow ranger piped up.

"Dustin!" Tori slapped his arm as Shane laughed.

"What? No, no! I'm just busting on ya bro," The earth ninja laughed, clasping hands with his leader.

"Look, we know you're great at this stuff. Just, don't forget you're not alone," Tori smiled.

"I know," Shane sighed. "And right now, you have no idea how glad I am about that."

"Great Hallmark moment!" The black ranger yelled from across the hall. "BUT THERE'S A FREAKING MAGNET MONSTER ABOUT TO THROW SOMETHING AT YOU THREE!"

The wind rangers looked up, and, true to the black ranger's words, they dodged a giant metal...grating of some sort.

"Pardon me, but I haven't finished destroying you yet!"

"Think again!" Shane scoffed.

"Dream on," Tori added.

"NINJA AIR ASSAULT!" Shane pushed the gigantic magnet out of the warehouse, Tori and Dustin close behind. The three pulled out their ninja swords and promptly began to attack.

xxxxxxxxxx

"Get the heck away from my new shiny spandex!" Kiley yelled, cutting a Kelzak's head off.

"Uhm...okay then," Alexa sweatdropped as the three girls managed to finish off the minions.

"C'mon guys!" Layla yelled, and the three ran out to find their counterparts.

"...Storm Striker!" The wind ninjas called.

"I want one of those! Ice, why didn't you order us one!" Kiley whined.

Layla smacked her forehead as the three Hurricane ninjas watched the wind rangers conjure a gigantic ball out of nowhere, firing it on the monster, who promptly blew up.

"Yeah, alright!"

"We did it!" The blue one smiled.

"Together. Like it's supposed to be," Shane smiled.

"Nice job!" Alexa called, immediatly focusing the wind rangers' attention on her, Layla, and Kiley as they walked towards them.

"Yeah, you guys really rocked," Layla nodded.

"Dude...did Cam like forget to tell us about you or something?" The yellow one asked, scratching his helmet.

"...Who is Cam?" Kiley tilted her head slightly to the side.

"...Uh..."

"Whatever," Layla said. At that moment, all three females pulled off their helmets.

"...Whoa, don't I know you three from somewhere?" Shane asked curiously.

"Alexa," The strawberry blonde said, trying to trigger the red ranger's memory. "Kelly hired us."

"Oh, right dude! Uhm, okay, guys, meet Alexa, Layla, and Kiley. Girls, this is Dustin, and that's Tori."

"Hey," The Hurricane rangers and Tori chroused.

"Dudes," Dustin nodded.

"We'll be here whenever you need us," Alexa informed the wind rangers. "Just holler and we'll be there."

"Sweet!" Shane smiled.

"Guys, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but there's a twenty-foot version of the monster you fought!" Layla said suddenly, and three of the rangers turned around.

"Talk about a giant magnet!" Kiley giggled.

"Looks like he put on a few," Shane said.

"You might wanna try cutting down on carbs," Dustin suggested.

"Jump!" Tori cried, and all six ninjas leapt out of the way.

xxxxxxxxxx

"Uhm, so, does your Cam like have anything big and gigantic?" Alexa yelled at the red ranger.

"Uh, I dunno, dude..." Shane scratched his head.

"As a matter of fact," Cam's voice came over Shane's morpher. "I do. Rangers, listen closely. Hidden in a subterranian hangar are three powerful robotic assault vehicles. Now that Lothor's raised the stakes, we have no choice but to call on them."

"Okay, I have no idea what your technical advisor just said at all," Alexa said, Layla, Kiley, and Dustin nodding along with her.

Cam's voice sighed. "Guys, I'm sending you some big time backup!"

"ohhhh..." Kiley giggled. "Sounds cool."

"The Hawkzord...the dolphinzord...and the lionzord. They matrilize through holographic portals, and I've adapted them to operate under your command, using your ninja powers of air, water, and earth. The zords are equipped with an arsenal of state-of-the-art weaponry that you can access by using the power disks on your morphers. I'll be sending you new power disks as you master each skill level."

"Oh...dudes, look!" Kiley said, pointing to the giant red bird flying above their heads.

"Oh yeah, the Hawkzord's all mine!" The red ranger said excitedly.

"That's right Shane," Cam said, speaking up once more. "You pilot the Hawkzord. Tori, use your powers over water to command the dolphinzord."

"Well, that makes sense," The only female wind ranger said, as Alexa laughed.

"Dustin," Cam spoke up again. "You'll have control over the mighty lionzord."

"That's massive, dude!" The yellow ranger replied excitedly. Layla just slapped a hand to her helmet-covered forehead.

"Those are flash new rides," Shane said as the six rangers stared up at the massive assault vehicles.

"Okay, so I know we just met you, but hook us up!" Kiley spoke into her morpher. "...Please," She added after a moment's thought.

There was a laugh. "I'll see what I can do."

"Alright!" Layla and Alexa high-fived.

"I knew Cam was up to something!" Dustin told Tori, as the winds had been having their own side conversation.

"Can we get back to work?" The blue ranger snapped irritably.

"Let's do it!" Shane said, and all three leapt into the air and entered their zords' cockpit.

xxxxxxxxxx

"Oh...so jealous..." Layla muttered.

Alexa patted her shoulder. "I'm sure we'll get hooked up sooner or later."

"C'mon, kick magnet butt!" Kiley yelled at their counterparts in the sky.

"Check it out..." Shane's voice said over their morphers. "These are pretty cool..."

"Dude, I got seat warmers!" Dustin exclaimed from his lionzord, causing all three Hurricane rangers to burst out laughing. "What's so funny...?"

"Just...y'know, nevermind," Alexa choked out between giggles.

"Anyway," Tori said, calling the earth ninja and hurricane ninjas' attentions back to the fight. "Let's get this guy!"

"You think you can stop me with something made of metal?" The monster laughed, lowering his magnets towards them. "I'm a MAGNET!"

"The first step to getting better is accepting who you are!" Kiley chirped.

"Let's fight fire with fire!" Shane said, the magnet's attack having no effect. "Flame attack!" His entire zord flamed, surronding the magnet in a giant tornado of fire. "Check out these turbos, man, I'm fired up!"

"NOT FAIR!" Layla yelped from the ground. "My element! MINEEEE!" She yelled at Shane.

Kiley and Alexa just giggled.

"Surf's up...dude!" Tori said from her zord. As a giant wave rushed in, her zord began bouncing the magnet on it's nose, jumping and playing in the water happily. "He is all washed up!" The water ninja continued as her dolphin smacked the magnet away with it's tail. "She shoots, she scores!"

"Okay...I agree. Want!" Alexa groaned from behind her helmet.

"I know, right?" Layla sighed.

"Good for two!" Shane said.

"Woohoo!" Tori's voice came out of their morphers. "Dolphin victory dance!" She continued as her zord jumped up and down, twittering happily.

"How do you like this?" A arm extended out of nowhere, clasping around Tori's zord.

"No! He's got me!"

"Are being being obvious?" Kiley asked, tilting her head. "If so...I'm wearing purple!"

"So not helpful," Layla groaned.

"Hang on!" As soon as the words were out of Shane's mouth, the magnet's other arm extended, clamping around the hawkzord.

"Hey, uhm, Cam person?" Kiley asked her morpher. "THIS IS WHY WE NEED ZORDS!"

xxxxxxxxxx

"Pretty birdie!" The magnet chuckled as he waved his arms around.

"Hey! Watch the fin!" Tori shouted angrily. "Dustin!"

"Guess it's up to me," The earth ninja sighed. "I'll pick...you!" He pressed a random button. "...It's the lion tornado blast!"

"Okay, I'm starting to agree...he ripped off from the Hurricane Academy's elements!" Alexa grumbled.

The lionzord roared, spinning it's head in a circle as it gathered a tornado around it. Dustin promptly fired the blast at the magnet, laughing as pieces of earth flew into the air. "Now that's what I call blowing chunks!"

"DUSTIN! STOP IT WITH THE PUNS!" Alexa and Layla chroused.

"Sorry dudes..." Dustin said as Tori and Shane were freed from the magnet head's grasp.

"Thanks Dustin, you rock!" Tori smiled.

"And roar!" Kiley giggled.

"Kiley!" Alexa and Layla snapped.

"Oh right...sorry."

"Good job dude!" Shane said, feeling the need to show his appreciation.

"No problem," The yellow ranger replied. "Now let's show him some real muscle! After burst, fire!" He commanded, and his zord shot forward, slamming into the magnet and causing it to promptly explode.

"Yeah, awesome, they did it!" Alexa exclaimed happily.

"Magnet dude, you're headed for the scrap pile!" Dustin chuckled.

"Dustin! No puns!" Layla groaned.

"Wait..." Kiley said. "He's remagnetizing!"

"Is that even a word?" Alexa asked the redhead.

"...I dunno..."

xxxxxxxxxx

"I'M BACK!" The magnet laughed creepily.

"Oh, man!" Dustin sighed, slamming his fist on his console. "What is with this?"

"It must be his magnetic personality," Tori informed the yellow ranger.

"Great...I don't know what we're going to do now!" Shane groaned.

"Think!" Tori urged.

"Yes, Shane," Sensei's face appeared on the red ranger's come unit. "You do know. Feel what is inside you...your ninja powers will help to guide you."

"...The scroll! One has the strength of three!"

"Good idea!" Dustin nodded.

"Alright, let's do it!" The last of the three agreed.

xxxxxxxxxx

"Want...badly!" Kiley gasped as the three ninjas' on the ground watched the three zords come together.

"We did it!" Shane's voice said over their morphers.

"It's a MEGAzord," Tori laughed.

"Mega cool!" The earth ninja grinned.

"Okay, seriously..." Layla turned to Alexa and Kiley. "He needs an intervention."

"Mega fools!" The giant magnet yelled. "Try...this!" And he unleashed his magnetic attack...again.

"Guys, look!" Kiley pointed to where the megazord was calmly walking towards it's foe.

"It's not even fazed..." Layla said with longing as they watched metal bounce off the megazord.

"Cam! What next?" Shane's voice asked.

"This is all I got! Make it last!" The tech replied. "Follow the cues on your prompt screen. The disks will activate the megazord's power level."

"Guys! Do what I do!" Shane's voice said.

Kiley burst into giggles. Layla facepalmed. "You are so...immature."

"I know!" The energy ninja replied. "Isn't it great?"

"No," The tall blonde retorted.

xxxxxxxxxx

"Inserting power disk in sphere drive!"

"You got it Shane!" Dustin replied as he and Tori mimicked their leader's actions.

"Activating power sphere!" Tori spoke up. "...Now!"

"Okay, you guys, I am officially jealous," Alexa's voice said from their morphers as their new weapon, the Serpent Sword, appeared in from of them.

"It is kinda awesome," Dustin replied to the ice ninja.

"Focus, Dustin. Ninjazord, multiply!" Shane commanded, and two more megazords appeared.

"Three against one? That's not fair!" The magnet whined.

"Ready!"

"Aim!"

"Fire!" Dustin commanded and, one after the other, each megazord's sword unleashed a deadly slash.

xxxxxxxxxx

"Oh yeah!" Alexa cried as the magnet exploded, and the three megazords merged back into one.

"We did it!" Tori's voice said happily.

"We sure did."

"Nice teamwork guys!" Shane commented.

xxxxxxxxxx

"All the people are back to normal," Cam said, turning around to face the three wind rangers.

"We got zords, huh? How stoked am I!" Dustin exclaimed excitedly.

"They are not toys, Dustin," Sensei sighed. "As ninjas, you know never to escalate a battle."

"No, no, that's cool with me, man," The earth ninja replied.

"Now that you have learned to work as one, the balance of power will always be on your side," The guinea pig said as he finished his puzzle. The three rangers smiled when they saw it was of megazord.

"If working as one means new zords, there will be no more complaints from me," Shane joked.

"Yeah, yeah, rub it in," A new voice said, and all five occupants of Ninja Ops turned to see Alexa, Kiley, and Layla standing in the doorway.

"Hurricane Ninjas..." Sensei said solemnly, and at once the light atmosphere in the room turned somber. "We have much to talk about."

"That we do, Sensei Watanabe," Alexa said as she stepped forward, Layla and Kiley flanking her. "That we do."

TO BE CONTINUED...

A/N: I apologize if I missed any grammar or spelling mistakes, just let me know and I'll try to fix them.

Yay! The Hurricanes appear as rangers...and now everyone's working together.

Evil cliffhangar! MWAHAHA!

Review please!
