Ninja Storm: Their Darkest Hour

23.Birthday Surprises

"Let me go!" Skyla demanded as Vexacus pulled her through the undergrowth of the forest "The power not meant for you!"

"Oh it will be mine," Vexacus said "make no mistake. And once I have the power I will rule this world and all others," he laughed evilly as he continued to storm through the forest pulling her with him

-Scene-

Meanwhile, still moping at Ninja Ops, Abby and the others rangers were having a hard time trying to contact Shane and Sensei but the tries were futile as long as the mysterious ship remained cloaked and in the middle of the forest. Cam was trying his hardest to get around the ship's interference but every attempt was thwarted

"Im sorry you're birthday's got messed up," Dustin said, turning to Abby and Tori who were in the same position as before, resting against one another

"I know," Tori responded "It's nobody's fault"

Abby perked up "Yeah it is," she told them "Its Lothor's fault!"

"Maybe we should go get our stuff from the beach?" Dustin suggested

"Might as well," Blake answered "Our day off is pretty much over mow!"

"We'll be back Cam," Hunter told the Samurai, as he turned and held his hand out for Abby to take, as he pulled her to her feet.

The two birthday girls patted Cam on the shoulders as they left "Later," and they left following the others. Kelly also going with them.

-Scene-

"Come on Skyla," Shane said as he run aimlessly through the forest looking for Skyla "Where did he take you?" he was running around in circles, he had no clue as too where Vexacus was taking Skyla "Give me a clue,"

Follow me Shane Skyla's voice echoed through his mind as a memory flashed through his mind seconds later. Remember?

"I'll take that as a clue," Shane whispered, before taking off further into the undergrowth

-Scene-

"You'll never get the power from me!" Skyla said as Vexacus pulled her into an open field; he pulled out a de-cloaking device and aimed it at the thin air in front of him; there was a surge of power and his ship appeared

"I have been chasing Karminion's all my life," Vexacus growled turning to her "I know as well as you do, that when your time comes to pass into your higher form, you're life force will transfer to the one at hand"

Skyla chuckled lowly "Well, guess what? -its not gonna be you!"

"Then who?" Vexacus asked "the human boy. He is no where to be found"

Shane appeared at that moment and kick-flipped Vexacus backwards "Look a little harder," he said, landing in a defensive position in front of Skyla

"Do not trifle with forces you do not understand," Vexacus growled

Shane smirked "What's not to get?" he asked "Skyla: Good - Vexacus: Not Good"

And the fight began

Shane aimed a high kick for the big fish, which he blocked with his own; Shane aimed a spin kick for Vexacus's head but the bounty hunter ducked and aimed a punch for the red ranger who blocked the on coming attack with ease. Shane aimed another punch back but Vexacus grabbed his wrist and punched him in the stomach; Shane reacted as caught Vexacus's arm but the fish wrapped it tightly around his waist and held him tightly

"Run Skyla!" Shane ordered

The girl turned and started to run for a thick of the trees

"No!" Vexacus growled as he flung Shane aside and tried to capture Skyla once more; Shane pulled back on the shark's arm; there was a spark and Skyla groaned as she hit the ground
