Ninja Storm: Ranger Form: Fire Storm

Part 2: Meeting The Thunder Rangers

"You'll find it." Kelly said, as she entered Storm Chargers that morning to find Dustin clearing out the backroom ­and not in the cleaning sense­. The store floor was littered with clothes, tools and spare parts "By the way I've been meaning to ask have you seen Hunter or Blake?"

"They kind of blew me off last week," Dustin answered as he left the backroom "and I haven't seen them since"

"Have you got a cell phone number?" Kelly asked At that moment Alex entered the store clad in shorts and a tank ­top, her IPod clipped to her shorts and a bottle of water in her hands. She skidded to a stop at the mess Dustin had made "Dude, did you lose something or what?"

"Alex, have you seen my backpack?" Dustin asked

"The yellow and black one you always carry?" Alex asked. He nodded. "No, why?"

"My friend gave me this CD and it was in my backpack. His computer crashed this morning and he is going to kill me if I don't find it."

"Have you tried the track?" Alex asked Dustin stopped in his tracks

"No," he turned and grabbed her wrist "You're a genius. I could kiss you."

"Please don't," Alex asked, making a face at the thought of a boy she classed as an older brother kissing her. Dustin chuckled and turned back to Kelly; he grabbed a pen and paper then scribbled down Hunter and Blake's numbers.

"Why do you need them?"

"I've got the money I need for the regionals next week," Kelly answered "and I've got to put a 250 team together like yesterday"

"Alright." Dustin nodded before stopping on his way to the door "Uh, well, you know, what about me?"

"I've only got the budget for 250s Dustin, and those guys have the experience on big bikes." Kelly explained awkwardly, but she was tempted to ask Alex. Kelly knew it was something to not do around Dustin mainly because of how she was, and she would say no- mainly because of Dustin. 

"You understand, right?" Dustin nodded "Yeah, sure, I mean if I was putting a team together I would want them too. I got to go." Alex looked at him and put her hand on his shoulder for a moment.

"More Rangers?" a customer asked, catching the sister's attention. Turning towards the TV room Alex and Kelly approached and spotted a Crimson and Navy ranger on the TV screen. Alex turned quickly to Kelly.

"I have to go." Alex said as she then joined Dustin as she ran, she knew it was only going to be so bad. Alex then bolted to catch up to him as she looked at them, her mind was highly changed since her transformation.

Electricity shot down from the sky towards the Wind Rangers before a shield of fire appeared in front of them and the beam of energy hit the ground and fizzled out. The five rangers present frowned in confusion as the barrier melted away while a Purple and blue streak landed between them. While the dust cleared they noticed a Purple ranger kneeling on the ground in front of them. The uniform was all Purple except for the
gold accents, her helmet was in the shape of a fox, and a large wind animal print emblem was on her chest.

"You know next time there is a Ranger team up," the new ranger spoke, indicating to the fact that she was female "I would appreciate it if you invited me."

"Another ranger?" Navy asked in surprise Rising from her crouch and staring at the two new rangers the Purple ranger spoke up this time.

"Don't sound so surprised Ranger boy"

"You're really starting to irritate me," Crimson growled

"Oh, but I haven't even started yet. But I do have the tendency to annoy people, and it's always to people who don't know me. If you got to know me, I'm sure you'd like me"
