Ninja Storm: Their Darkest Hour

14. Takara Sayuri

Joining Cam as Abby pulled away from the new Green ranger, Shane frowned "How is this even possible?" he asked

"I'll tell you later," Cam answered "right now we have to get you back to Ninja Ops! Come on!" and he started leading the way back to Ops, half carrying Abby like he had before. The others followed expect Dustin who was too tired.

"Run fool!" a deep voice cut through the air, and the rangers looked up to see Lothor hovering over them, Abby squeaked as her eyes widened, as he started firing energy blasts at them. Cam and Abby were in lead, and as the White ranger ran, she stumbled off the side of a banking and into the stream below. Rolling in the water, she groaned as she hit the rocks below and pain shot through her ankle as she tried to stand.

"Abby," Cam called, as he reached her and helped her up "Are you okay?" 

The White ranger shook her head "My ankle!" she complained "It hurts!"

Looking down Cam gave a startled gasp as he saw the water was being dyed with the fainted droplets of blood that was escaping from Abby's leg, he looked behind her at the rock she had landed on and so the jagged tip raising out the small stream. She must have hit it after she had fallen and cut herself. Throwing her arm around his shoulders and wrapping his arm around her back, he helped her take most of the pressure of her foot which looked like it had banged against the rock as well as cut. By now the other rangers had re-grouped with them and Lother was standing over them.

"Oh Rangers," two new voices joined the chaos, and Marah and Kapri appeared on the banking opposite them, waving slyly.

They were trapped, with Abby unable to walk; and Cam being the only one of them with the energy to fight, they were trapped. "What's the matter nephew?" Lothor called down with a smirk "You don't like reunions?"

Dustin frowned "Did he say nephew?" he asked

Cam shook his head "You can't choose your family Lothor!" he called back "and I certainly didn't choose you!"

"Pity," Lothor frowned "there's always a place for someone like you in my evil empire!" he stated, and Cam scoffed "We'll see who has the last laugh, Samurai Ranger!" he warned, turning his attention then onto the White ranger "Abigail Sayuri," he grinned

The rangers frowned "Abigail who?"

Abby looked up and frowned as she saw Lothor looking at her as he spoke the name "Dude, were you dropped on your head when you were little?" she asked "My name is Abigail Holloway! Not Sayuri!"

"Are you sure?" Lothor questioned "How much of your life do you know?" The younger teen fell silent. Lothor smirked. "How much of your parents do you know?" he asked

Abby shook her head; she knew nothing of her biological parents. She had been searching for months, but she always ended up at a dead end "Nothing," she murmured, lowering her gaze back to the water below

"How much do you want to know about them?" Lothor asked

"More than anything!" Abby admitted

Lother grinned "I can tell you all about them," he told her "I can take you to them!"

Abby looked torn; she didn't trust Lothor, not with one fibre of her being. But what if he was telling the truth this one time? What if he really did know her parents and could take her to them. She had wanted to find them over since she had found out she was adopted, wanted to asked them so many questions. She wanted to know why she was out in the forests surrounding the Snow Academy in the first place, there were so many things she wanted to know, that she couldn't remember.

"Well?" Lothor asked "Do you or do you not want to meet them?"

The rangers exchanged looks as they noticed the torn emotions play across Abby's face; what would she decide?
