Despite being "losers", Marah and Kapri destroyed Shimazu - a goofy general, but he was still a general.
Yeah you can argue he was beat up after the Power Rangers, but they still killed him.
No hesitation, no remorse and no struggle.
For once they were capable - so it makes sense Lothor got worried they actually were faking incompetence this whole time. Even though he was the one who came up with the plan in the first place.
hesitantly tugging the other's fabric of their shirt or sleeve, testing the waters + Ninja Storm or Beyond the Grid; Cam & Marah & Kapri
I actually love and adore this relationship!

If asked, Cam couldn't tell you why he'd chosen to take Marah and Kapri in. He knows that Dustin had pulled him aside not long after they'd found the pair in the aftermath of the battle. He knows that Dustin had said, "I still see good in her, Cam," and Cam had believed the sencerity in Dustin's eyes. He knows that Marah and Kapri have the training to be good ninjas, but not the proper needle in their moral compasses. Cam knows that Lothor may have been disowned from the Mori family, but Kara (his father's sister) was not and Marah and Kapri are his counsins. He knows that Shane, Tori, and Dustin had been on board with giving them second chances.
Cam knows that his team backs him 100%, even against their own students. Hunter and Blake's words don't mean much to the kids at the Wind Ninja Academy, but the title of Power Ranger goes far enough.
It's night time when it happens.
Hunter and Blake are out of Ninja Ops, of course. Hunter’s teaching his classes and Blake's busy with Factory Blue. Shane, Tori, and Dustin were already asleep- already in bed. Cam was up late taking care of some paperwork, so his father didn't have to. Sitting in Ninja Ops and doing paperwork isn't unlike doing his school work while waiting for the computer to finish scanning the area, not unlike bouncing ideas of Cyber Cam while Cam twists a guitar pick between his fingers or files with the amulet around his neck.
"Cam?" calls Marah softly.
Fuck.
"You down here?"
Cam puts down his papers and looks up. Sure, Marah and Kapri are regular- good- ninjas now, but he's still hesitant to let them into Ninja Ops, into the heart of his home, into a place of safety for him, Shane, Tori, and Dustin.
Still, he can't just... Well, maybe he could-? Ah, who was he kidding?
"If you're going to be loud, could you do it outside?" Cam says back, standing as his wayward cousins slip silently down the stairs. He turns to face them. "There are people trying to sleep in here."
Marah comes over quickly, fitting herself to Cam's side as if he and she were conjoined. Ironically, they're the same age, born not long apart. It wasn't hard to imagine them to be twins. Not for Cam, at least.
"Sorry," Marah breaths. "Couldn't sleep."
"She insisted on coming to find you," Kapri says. She grabs Cam's wrist, which would've made Cam freeze in shock a few months ago and send her flying last year. Now he just lets it happen. Kapri doesn't show her emotions as a typical human does. Kapri is stoic and quiet.
She tugs gently on Cam's sleeve. It's the green hoodie Dustin got him a while back, one that Cam loves and adores. Kapri, knowing this, is very gentle when she tugs and tugs.
Cam takes the hint of what Kapri wants- what she won't say, what she's testing- and wraps his arms around her shoulders. "It's fine," he says, squeezing gently. "I'm here for whenever."
Eventually, the cuddle puddle gets moved to the small couch area for when Cam's dizziness proves too much for him. None of them say a thing in the morning, but Cam still finds his cousins in Ninja Ops far more often.
Peony, Ursinia, Yellow Bell+Ninja Storm; Tori x Kapri~
Sure sure!
Peony - Anger
Ursinia - Trickery
Yellow Bell - Rebirth

Kapri watches, almost apathetic, as her beloved is strapped to the table. "It's okay," she soothes. "You'll be just fine in a few minutes, I promise."
"Let me go! Let me go, damn it!" the girl shouts, twisting and turning under the hands of Kapri's "help." The blond twists one way and then the other, meeting Kapri's eyes with her own. She's not just angry, she's furious. Kapri can see the storms in her beloved girlfriend's gaze. "You tricked me!" she accuses.
"Tricked you?" Kapri repeats. "No," she says. "I saved you."
With that, she turns away and lets her hired hands do as they please with her beloved. As Tori begins to scream, Kapri crosses the doorway and slams the door behind her. Maybe in the next life, Kapri thinks, leaning against the door with tears in her eyes. Maybe in the next life, but not this time. Kapri sniffles, blinking away her tears.
Later that year, Kapri will visit a grave. The grave will be for Victoria Hanson, daughter, sister, girlfriend. Gone, but not forgotten. Kapri will go with tears in her eyes, crying for the girl she loves, crying for the woman who loved her. She will kneel at the side of the grave and cry for hours. She will lay a bouquet of flowers on the graveside, peonies, ursinia, and yellow bells. Kapri will sit at the grave and cry until she can cry no more for her lost love and pray that next time will be better, but... Not this time.
Kapri sniffles as she stands and begins to head back home, wiping the tears from her face. Not this time.
"I'm bored. Wanna play?" + Ninja Storm; Kapri/Tori (dunno why, but this seems to fit??)
Never considered this ship before, but I like it!

Tori steps into her quarters with a long sigh. Her day had been long and hard. She'd been training classes all day. It's been a hard day, long enough to include a second day inside, and all Tori really wants is a three hour nap and a good soak in the tub.
She moves further into the room, intending to head for the bathroom, but a noise from her bedroom stops her. God fucking- she thinks to herself as she summons some water from the tap in the kitchen and prepares to go all out in defense of her home, her students and her school. Tori stops short when the door creaks open and she sees what's inside.
Kapri stands in the middle of the room admiring her figure in a pair of pretty, pink, lace lingerie. Tori gasps, seeing all that beautiful skin on display. The other ninja turns and meets Tori's eyes. She smiles, wicked and soft at the same time. "I'm bored," she says casually, prowling closer until she can press her breasts to Tori's uniform and grab her wrist to pull it down to her hip. "Wanna play?"
Tori grips tight without being asks, a possessive growl echoing deep in her chest. "Mine," Tori snarls softly, her other hand wandering to the pink lace and rubbing small circles in Kapri's clit through the fabric.
Kapri moans happily. "Oh, am I ever, baby," she replies. "Show me?" she asks.
Thoughts of a bath and sleep fly right out of Tori's mind in time with the sound of Kapri's back hitting the mattress.
LOthor could turn SENSEI into a Guinea pig. Right??
He turn himself too. It’s totally canon.
Here you go. Look at him. This is him.
Rat lothor scurrying around marah and kapris apartment, he came to visit and then had a temper tantrum and turned into a rat. They call cam and ask him if his dad's ever done that and no he hasn't, only sometimes so he can find a little place to nap in. SENSEI does not help.
