The Mission had been a success, but at a pretty great cost. Danny's next mission was for him only, to recruit a new ranger into the the team. Now this was something he was a little more familliar with. And if Billy was taking people who had already been rangers, then he knew that he would be able to trust whoever he was picking up.
With a rather pleasant nod and salute, he was off back to his universe to find this person.
Walking through the portal, Danny arrived in a forest of some sort. Clearly, it was not the Animarium, and no area that he was familiar with. Maybe this person liked being alone?
"So, Billy, who am I recruiting here?" His morpher also doubled as a communicator, which Danny had found out while looking at the optional files in his helmet's HUD back during the fight.
"Her name is Tori Hanson, and she's a ninja." Billy believed that was all that Danny really needed to know, but still the young man strode to continue the conversation.
"Like an actual ninja? That's really impressive."
He couldn't get very far before he was surrounded. Men and women in black outfits accented with various colors watched him from all directions. Rather than make a scene and morph up, Danny rose his hands in surrender. "I'm looking for Tori Hanson. I really need to speak to her."
As if straight from a movie, the figures in black approached him and put a bag on his head They escorted him through the forest and to their academy without him being able to remember the way there. Once they finally were at the academy, the students took the bag odd of Danny's head.
He was impressed by the appearance of the ninja academy. So many fighters training to be the best that they could be to protect the world in their own way. Maybe Cole would go out there and discover people who wanted to help too. He certainly was an inspiring person.
Nobody said a word to him, but guided him through the grounds to one of the many japanese buildings.
Inside was a woman surrounded by a plethora of students. They all shared a similar black and blue uniform, possibly alluding to some similarity between them. What that was, he wasn't sure.
"Tori Hanson?" He called out form the door. He tried to be quiet, but unless he waited for her lesson to be over, he wasn't going to be able to speak to her. "I really need to talk to you."
She looked to be somewhere in her mid to late twenties, but still looked rather good. She had been speaking to the others about something Danny didn't quite understand when he butted in. "Oh?" He tilted his head to the side. "Are you a new student?"
"No," He shook his head. "I'm a-"
"Then it can't be that important. I'm teaching a class right now."
Even though Danny had ninjas on all sides of him, watching his every move and every move he might make, he took several hasty steps towards Tori and raised his arm, showing off the large morpher that he was holding. "Tori Hanson, I'm a Power Ranger, and I know you are too. We need you help to save everything."
The Ninjas took a stance when Danny moved so suddenly. Once he displayed his status as another Ranger, the room of students began to mutter about him, wondering what he was doing here.
"Everyone," Tori addressed her students. "Keep working on what I taught you. Class dismissed."
Tori took Danny out of the hands of the ninja who were watching the grounds. This wasn't the first time she had been contacted by another ranger team to stop evil. She must be really good for this to happen to many times. As a matter of fact, her last encounter with a ranger team ended in her regaining her ranger powers, which she still had to that day.
"So, Danny. You need my help?"
Danny nodded. "There's this... multiverse. Millions and millions of different earths with different histories and different power rangers. Someone is trying to break it all down. Billy, our mission expert, sent me here to find you. It's actually my universe too, I was a Wild Force Ranger, but that's not the point here! Aside from the great Tommy Oliver, you're one of the greatest Rangers in our universe, just because of how much action you've seen. We need someone like you to be our Green Ranger."
He was lucky to have snagged one of the cool morphers before he left, and presented it to Tori.
She needed a minute to think. Of course, had this offer come to her a year or two ago she would have taken it without question, but the academy really needed her. On the other hand, there might not be an academy to come back to if she were to refuse the offer.
"I'll take it." She took the morpher with a gleam in her eyes. Like Danny, she had it rested on her forearm. It was a big thing, but surely useful. Since this was a big multiverse thing, and not just protecting a city, it was pretty safe to say that hiding ranger status from civilians was pretty useless.
In the next moment, they were transported back to the base.
"So, what are your thoughts on call signs and introductory poses?" Danny asked out of the blue.
"Danny. I'm a ninja. I live for those sort of things."
