Dino Thunder: Continuing the Legacy

Thunder Storm: Part 2

"Are you nuts?!" Blake's yell echoed through the damaged street where the battle between the Dino Thunder and Ninja Storm Rangers had just taken place.

"I take back everything I ever said about you being smart," Hunter told Cam, equally as horrified by the Samurai's plan.

"Take a look at what they've done!" Cam exclaimed, gesturing around the damaged street. "We have to get to the Abyss, it's our only chance," he told the Ninjas.

"That thing is filled with all of the monsters you guys defeated last year," Tia pointed out, "I mean, is it safe? Who knows what else is in there."

"We know what else is in there." Cam sighed, "Our powers. And we have to get them back if we're to have any chance of helping the Dino Rangers deal with Tori, Shane and Dustin," he said, and the others all sighed, knowing that he was right.

Raina looked at the two non-Rangers, "Ready to get your hands dirty?"

Bella chuckled, "Oh, I'm all over it."

"No way! No!" Blake exclaimed. "There's no possible way I'm going near that thing again!" he yelled at them. The others all looked at him and raised their eyebrows.

"Alright, Thunder Boy." Zoey smirked, as the others backed away from her, "I'll make you a deal. You take me on. Right here. Right now. No powers. You win, you get to be a little chicken and hide, knowing full well that we'll never let you live it down. I win," she stepped closer to him, "you have to run our training course. All of them. And Jenna and I will be throwing our powers at you to dodge."

He hesitated as he looked at his fellow Ninjas and sighed, "Damn it."

"You suck." Blake told Zoe as they stood on the edge of the Abyss in climbing gear. The Fire Ninja, just shrugged, not caring. "I just wanna say one last time, I think this is a bad idea." he told the others.

"Bella. Tia. Have you two ever done this sort of thing?" Cam asked the Fire Ninjas as they tightened their climbing gear.

"Mandatory training for all students at the Flame Academy." Bella smirked, "Relax, Samurai Boy. I'm a professional."

He shook his head as he looked at Zoey, "So, that attitude isn't just you?"

"Oh, no." She smiled, "It's all Fire Ninjas."

"Great." He shook his head, "Should've called Michi."

"Who?"

"Nothing." His eyes got wide as he realized his slip, "We gotta go." He looked at the group and avoided the questions in their eyes. We need to stick together. If we slip up, we're through."

Zoey squinted her eyes at him, as she promised herself to grill him about it later, "You know what your morpher looks like. Grab them and go. Bella and Tia, I want you two on look out."

"You got it."

They eased over the edge and lowered themselves down into the smokey trench. It didn't take long for them to reach a big enough ledge that they could all fit on. They unclipped themselves from their gear and looked around.

"Man, it stinks down here!" Blake groaned, waving a hand in front of his face in hopes of dispelling the stench.

"Let's find our powers and get out of here," Cam frowned.
