Ninja Storm: Ranger Form: Fire Storm

Part 13- True feelings

Alex breathed heavily as she skidded to a halt at the edge of the Motocross track and lifted the bottle of water that was in her hands, she was clad in Purple shorts and a tank ­top and had her blade skates on. She had been skating for little over half an hour and had decided to stop near the track to check out Hunter and Blake as she knew they were there today before their shift at work started. She
was supposed to go with them but she had turned them down, seeing as she hadn't been skating in a while. Aria wasn't sure if her sister should have been out on her own after recent events unfolding, but Alex had argued that she wasn't going to be smothered by her friends protection all because she was hunting for Lothor's daughter and he could have tried to obtain her if she was alone. Besides, she wasn't scared; and she wasn't really alone. Jade had appeared to tell her nieces and her nephew the truth a few days ago, and she hadn't really left since.
She was always there if Alex needed her, appearing sometimes in battle to pull the Purple ranger out of harms way if the others were dealing with their own threats. Alex the grabbed her hair, tying it back from her face so it was in a tighter ponytail than last time.
"Look whose back," came a familiar voice, cutting through the Purple ranger's thoughts and causing her to groan in response.

"What are you doing here wannabe racer?" The younger teen turned in the direction of the voice to see Matthew walking towards her with a group of his friends.

"Wannabe?" She asked. "Dude, I can rings around you! And you know it!"
Matthew laughed loudly, as his friends followed his lead. He was one of the guys she would love to just kick his – well you know.

"You're good at falling, and nothing else." Aria was now over hearing all of this because she didn't understand why people thought her sister couldn't race. The girl had one of the fastest- no she held the fastest time slot at this course.

"Whatever." she rolled her eyes and skated down towards Hunter's truck which was parked on the edge of the Track. Just as she reached the vehicle the two Thunder Rangers were pushing their bikes towards her.

"Hey, guys!" she grinned
"Hey Lex," Blake smiled "What you doing here?"
"Funny." The Purple ranger frowned "Matthew asked me the same thing"
The brothers looked confused, and she pointed over her shoulder to where Matthew and his friends were standing, glancing back at her and then turning to talk to one another again. Aria was hating the bullying the boys were doing to her sister. After all Aria was willing to take then down in a race.
"Mhmm..." Alex huffed. "Not hard to figure out who their talking about!"
The brothers smirked "You want us to sort 'em out?" Hunter asked, grinning
"Do I look like I need a bodyguard?" Alex asked
The blonde shook his head "No, you could probably take them out on your own."
"And that's without your Ninja training," Blake inputted, making not only Alex giggle but Arias as well.

"Probably could" she nodded.
"You heading back to Storm Charges?" Hunter asked as he and Blake locked their bikes into the bed of his truck. The younger teen nodded.

"Want a ride?" Alex shook her head.

"Nah, I'm cool" she smiled at them both as Aria had now joined her by the side of the truck.

"I think I'm just gonna skate back. See ya later." and she waved as she headed back to the road, and disappeared from view. The Thunders waved and climbed back into Hunter's truck as they pulled off away from the track, sending Matthew and his group of friend's dark looks as they passed. Alex and Aria then began to make the track home, Aria had also decided to skate with Alex because she knew it was fun, and two it kept them busy at least for now anyway. Aria knew she wasn't a fighter but sometimes if she pushed enough she could become one. Udonna had a rule about fighting unless it is needed try not to. But she knew it was family she was going to protect Alex, their dad, Jayden, Cameron, heck all of them. She had grown to consider them family. And Alex knows they are not going to face this apart, with her as the Purple Fire Ranger, and her sister the White Samurai Ranger using the crystal from their mother in the past. Life has changed for both of them, nothing will ever be the same especially Alex and Hunter.
