Ninja Storm: Their Darkest Hour

32.Return of the Snow Ranger

"Vexacus!" Lothor roared as he faced the shark "I thought we talked about this? We decided you weren't going to destroy anymore of my generals without my direct order!"

The two were walking through the dark corridors of the ship, several hours after Abby had reported to Lothor what she had witnessed Vexacus doing to Motodrone. In all fairness to everyone on board the ship, no one knew where Abby's true intention lay. She was a ranger, but she was fighting for Lothor; and it seemed that Lothor was using her to spy on his generals and report back to him what she found

"Sir?" Vexacus asked, confused on how Lothor knew what he had dine

"Do you think that Evil Ninja Officers simply grow on trees?" Lothor questioned

Vexacus stopped and turned to Lothor "Well, sir, I am aware of your frustration" he started "but I simply felt that Motodrone could no longer be trusted!"

Lothor glared down at the general "Well, I guess we will never know, will we?" he inquired and he started walking once more "You're too good of a warrior to destroy Vexacus" he continued "so im gonna let you off with another warning. But don't let it happen again!"

Vexacus nodded "Yes sir, you have my word!"

Lothor turned and walked away as Vexacus laughed darkly "Sucker!" he chided, before turning and going in search of Shimazu

-Scene-

Unknown to Lothor or the rangers; Abby was back on Earth. It had seemed since the previous fight with the rangers her self-control had started to fight against the control of the collar around her neck had over her. She was starting to remember things that confused her, things that seemed to be not real to her. She was laughing and joking around with the other power rangers. Fighting in battle alongside them and kicking Lothor's general's and monsters asses. She remembered the older red head who worked at the power ranger's hangout and felt the bond they shared. She had memories of a Golden Retriever and the fun she had chasing the pup around the room and trying to bath him while he tried  to escape the water. These memories didn't seem to belong to her, although that's what she though. They were filled with emotions; friendships and feelings. Love and compassion. Something she never thought she could feel...or she could remember she had ever felt before

Lothor showed her no love or compassion, Marah and Kapri definitely didn't show her any friendship or feeling. The ship was a cold and friendless place; so was it possible that these memories were hers? Or was she wishing for a place like that? Did she imagine it. Maybe the only people to answer these questions were the Power rangers, that was the reason behind her being on Earth. The race track was busy, racers from all around were lining up waiting to race, but two in particular caught her attention. The Thunder rangers. They were with the red head from her memories...Kelly, she believed her name was. Not wanting to draw attention to herself or cause a problem in front of so many people the teen stayed within the boundaries of the race track and watched from afar. If the rangers saw her now - nothing good could come of it

"Anyone seen Dustin?" Kelly asked, as she leaned the Thunder rangers to their bikes "and have you heard from Abby?"

In all fairness to Abby been missing, the rangers didn't want to worry Kelly anymore than they possibly had, so they had decided on telling her the truth about her sister. On the contrary, she wasn't completely lost anymore, they knew where she was, but they were just waiting for the perfect opportunity to get her back

"No" Hunter answered the question about the white ranger

Blake frowned and looked around as he answered about about Dustin "No, I thought he'd be here for sure" he then turned to the person sorting out his bike "Thanks, dude" he told him and jumped onto the motocross bike
