(Ninja Ops)

"Unbelievable." Sighed Shane. "Dude that's just so sick it's wrong." Agreed Dustin. "Oh check out the lines on that baby. Bro, the way they move. Dude I can't believe it." Said Shane as he hit his head on the desk. "You better not be doing anything illegal!" Demanded Cam as he entered ninja ops. "No, no no, no." Denied Dustin as he spun the laptop's screen away from Cam and towards him. "Let me see." Demanded Cam as he reached over Shane and grabbed the laptop. "The tsunami cycles." Cam asked in disbelief. "Yeah.. man. Check it out." Chorused Dustin and Shane. "Shouldn't you be doing schoolwork, or annoying your parents or something?" Asked Cam. "Well I mean, you know. It was already switched onto this channel so we thought we'd just go for it." Replied Dustin. "Computers don't have channels Dustin." Said Cam as he rolled his eyes. "And I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't cruise in here without asking me first." "What's the big deal? We didn't hurt it." Mocked Shane. "It's just taken me two weeks to make the changes to the onboard telemetry systems. I just don't want anything to......" Started Cam, before a beeping noise came from the laptop. "Please say this is a dream." Begged Cam, as he typed in code after code, trying to fix the computer. Suddenly four red exes appeared on the screen. "I don't believe this!" "What?" Questioned Dustin and Shane. "You're sweating like really, really bad man." Stated Dustin, as he watched his nerdy friend panic. "You okay?" Questioned Dustin. Cam shook his head in disbelief, as horror masked his face. "It's frozen!" Pushing away from the table, Cam got up, and ran towards the main computer. "The system's locked up. It's totally dead." "Yeah, but ya' backed it up right?" Said Shane, as he and Dustin walked towards Cam. "Of course I did, I must have." Answered Cam, as he looked into his memories trying to find out where he put the back ups. "Dustin. You have the backup. I gave it to you on that disk." Dustin had a look of confusion on his face, before he came to a realization. "Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, right. It's in my backpack." Said Dustin as, he reached for the strap, only to realize his bag wasn't there.

(Lothor's Ship)

"The wind ranger's greatest hits, are all my favorites on there?" Asked Lothor as he looked down at a disk. "If you mean the Tsunami Cycle Serenade. Then yes." Answered the navy ranger. "I wonder if they know its been released a little early?" Asked the crimson ranger. " I only wish I could be there to see the look on rodent's face." Said Lothor. "Which brings us to our agreement. We have unfinished business." Said the one in crimson. "Relax. Evil plans are like fine whine. You must let them sit awhile before uncorking them." Responded Lothor. "They also go bad if you leave them too long." Answered the navy ranger. "He's right. I read that, it's something about the cork and the sediment." Agreed Marah. "Oh stop showing off." Demanded Kapri. "Just because you had to repeat evil alien first grade four times, don't get all mad at me." Taunted Marah. "Argh. Do you mind?" Asked Lothor as he pushed the girls out of the way, so he could sit in his throne. "I told them no to sit there." Said Chubo. "Out of my way!" Demanded Zurgane, as he hit Chubo. "Sir I have a plan of attack. If we hit them at the place, they call Storm Chargers....." Zurgane was quickly cut off by Lothor. "Zurgane, Zurgane, Zurgane." Said Lothor as he tapped the disk against his head. "How many times must we go over this? A ranger's power can only be destroyed, when he's in his full ranger form!" "Of course Sir." Agreed Zurgane. "Therefore, we must defeat them at the right moment. Otherwise all our efforts will be in vain. Surely such a powerful general can understand why your plan is so completely ridiculous!" Yelled Lothor, as he leaned over Zurgane. "You look over worked. Why don't you take a vacation day off?" "If that is your wish." Responded Zurgane. "That's an order." Lothor answered. Zurgane stormed out of the room, throwing a temper tantrum. Lothor turned back towards the rangers. "We will all put our heads together and see what we can come up with." Said Lothor as he threw his arms over the two ranger's shoulders.

Hey guys I know I haven't updated in forever, and I am really sorry about that. Life's been alittle crazy with me. I had soccer practices and games for three teams, the PSSAs, I am currently taking the Keystones, and then I still have to take the finals. Argh. SCHOOL WHY YOU DO THIS! Anyway, there is some good news. There is only TWENTY days of school left! Yes! FREEDOM! Hopefully this means that I will be able to update the story more, and Aria shall become a ranger in either the next chapter or the one after. Hope you guys continue to enjoy my story!
