Ninja Storm: Their Darkest Hour

8. The Big Freeze

"It doesn't happen to often, but here in Blue Bay Harbour, the weather has become the news. A cold front is gripping the city -" the news anchor said on the TV.

Abby was deep in thought as she paced back and forth of the table behind Can at Ninja Ops, on the mainframe he was watching the news as snow...yes, snow had started to fall in California. It was a big surprise as it had taken the weather by storm, not only was the weather usually the main topic but to have snow in one of the hottest places in the world, where it was likely to fall was a big surprise. But the weather wasn't on Abby's mind, no the rangers were. She had just returned from downtown after watching the Megazord battle between her friends, Blake, Hunter and a snail monster, the snail had exploded and suddenly both him and the five rangers disappeared leaving behind two empty Megazords.

"No, kidding" Cam retorted, as he shivered in the cold air filling Ninja Ops

"Causing an unprecedented shortage in the heating oil supply," the report continued, before Cam switched it off. 

Abby frowned and threw up her arms in frustration "I can't think of any place they could have gone!" she exclaimed "Cam! Tell me you have something, I cannot be the only ranger left!"

"Relax," Cam told her "We'll find the others!"

The younger teen groaned as she threw her head back and went back to pacing, before stopping and removing her cell phone from her pocket "Hello?" she asked, once she had answered. It was Kelly. "Uh, yeah sure...I'll be there in a second" she then hung up and turned to Cam "Kelly needs me back at the store; apparently since this cold front had set in, the place has been swamped with customers wanting warmer clothes. So im gonna go help her; since Dustin is out of reach. I'll come up with a reason to tell her, but keep me updated"

Cam frowned 

"What?" Abby asked

"What happened to Hyperactive Abby?" he asked "You sounded so groen up then"

She grimaced "Really?" he nodded "Oh, Cam. Bring them back fast! This worrying is making me grow old!" she complained

He chuckled "I'll call if I find anything, go"

"Thanks!" and she Ninja streaked out of Ninja Ops and back to the store.

-Scene- 

BEAT THE BIG FREEZE!

The poster had been hung up on the door to Storm Changer as the winter clothed had been pulled out and stocked up waiting for people to purchase, but they didn't come on at a time; they al came together. Kelly was swamped with customers as she groaned, when the temperatures had dropped at first she had thought it was Abby, because she was evidently a Snow  Ranger. But she was now staring to realize even if Abby did have the power to make it snow all over the city, she wouldn't be strong enough she was still new to this whole Ranger thing and having difficulty controlling her Ninja Powers while in Ranger Form.

Dustin meanwhile, had failed to turn up for work after he had disappeared with Abby earlier; her sister was on her way back in but she hadn't said anything about bringing Dustin with her. Has something happened, to make him not answer his cell, something Abby couldn't tell her about because she was in the presence of other rangers or she was at Ninja Ops? Either way, she had some explaining to do  if Dustin didn't turn up with her. A blur appeared outside the window and seconds later Abby entered the store alone. "Abby!" Kelly shouted over the noise, as her sister walked towards her "Where's Dustin?"

"About that," Abby hesitated "There's been a problem with you-know-what!" She said referring to the monster, seeing they had a store full of customers. Kelly nodded in understanding "The others have somewhat disappeared!" she whispered
