"This can't be how it ends" Shane spoke, his voice strained as he struggled to lift a shelf that had come completely away from the wall; and only made the destroyed Ninja Ops look even worse. Behind him, Tori, Abby, Dustin and Kelly were searching for any signs of life inside the rangers HQ but so far they were coming up empty.
"Whoa" said a familiar voice from entrance "What happened in here?"
Abandoning what they were doing, the three wind rangers, the snow ranger and Kelly turned to see Hunter and Blake enter Ops "You made it!" Dustin smiled, welcoming the brothers as Abby and Tori rushed over to hug their friends in relief for their safety "I thought you'd be toast for sure"
"Vexacus torched the Thunder Megazord" Blake explained "So we ejected
Hunter frowned and looked around "Where's Cam?" he asked
"We don't know" Shane sighed, his shoulders dropping
"Sensei?" Hunter questioned "Sensei Kaemon?"
Abby shook her head "Lothor got here before we did" she stated sadly "We're too late!"
"Better late the never, I always say"
The rangers jumped at a familiar voice, and turned to look over at the place where the two Sensei's were emerging; the wind ranger's Sensei was back to his human form
"Sensei!" the wind ninja's cried, rushing in and hugging their teacher, happy to see him back in human form "You're okay!"
Sensei smiled and embraced the three students
"Abigail!" Sensei Kaemon chuckled as he embraced the white ranger, as she too rushed forward to hug him. Relieved that he was safe and alive
"Its good to see you" Hunter smiled at Sensei Watanabe "Finally"
Blake and Kelly nodded in agreement, seeing as this was the first time they had encountered the older gentleman in his human form
"And you're like totally normal" Dustin grinned in excitement
"Lothor's energy blast reversed the transmutation" Sensei Watanabe explained " and allowed me to return to my human form"
Tori frowned "But where's Cam?" she asked
Sensei's face turned grave "He has been captured"
Abby whimpered in fear for her cousin's life
"We'll get him back" Kelly reassured her sister as she pulled the younger teen in close
"I wish it were that easy Kelly" Sensei Watanabe sighed "Lothor is preparing to open the Abyss of Evil"
Abby's eyes widened "Are you serious?" she asked, having heard about the Abyss of Evil from stories at the Snow Academy "I thought that was just Ninja folklore" she glanced up at her Sensei
"It is no coincidence that Blue Bay Harbour is the home of the Wind and Snow Academies" Sensei Kaemon explained "We are the guardians of an invisible gateway, a gateway that once opened, will allow all the evil of ages gone by to escape"
Shane pondered the thought "So, why hasn't Lothor tried to open if before now?" he asked
"The Abyss can only be opened when it is filled to capacity" Sensei Watanabe answered "Even then, it can only be opened by a mighty force"
"The Samurai Amulet" Tori stated
The two Sensei's nodded "We believe Lothor intends to use Cam's powers to open the Abyss" Sensei Watanabe "and allow an army of evil to enter our world"
"Is this why there have been Guardian's for the Amulet?" Abby asked "To stop this from happening?"
"It is possible" Sensei Kaemon answered "No one really understands why there have been Guardian's for the Amulet. We can only speculate that this is the reason behind it"
