Black Fire & Violet Thunder is a Power Ranger: Ninja Storm Fanfiction written by Mina A set in the same universe as the No Ordinary Ranger Trilogy. It is considered an indirect sequel to Mermaid Ranger Turbo.

Story Summary
High School/Ninja Students Shane, Dustin, Tori, and Clary didn't expect that one fateful day their lives would change, all because they were late to class. Throw in their sensei being turned into a Guinea Pig, a trio of Rangers from a rival academy looking to settle a score, an evil space ninja named Lothor, and every-day teenage drama and things are bound to get interesting.

Synopsis
"Deep in the mountains, secret ninja academies train our future protectors. Ancient scrolls told of four who would be chosen above the others. Four who would become..."

A skateboarder (Shane Clarke), a surfer (Tori Hanson), a gymnast (Clarissa Carter) and a dirt biker (Dustin Brooks), are students of the Wind Ninja Academy, under the tutelage of Sensei Kanoi Watanabe and his son Cam. Although it seems as if they will never be good enough to be a full-fledged ninja, they are the only four left when the evil ninja master, Lothor arrives on Earth and captures all the other students. Their sensei, who was transformed into a guinea pig by Lothor, decided that they would become Wind Power Rangers and gave them Wind Morphers to allow them to transform. As the Wind Rangers, they fought to save the world from Lothor and his space minions, using Zords created by Cam for emergencies.

Over time, they were joined by the Thunder Rangers; a trio of adopted siblings, Hunter, Blake, and Daphne Bradley, as well as Cam, who gained Green Samurai powers in a trip to the past. It's further revealed that Daphne was transformed into a mermaid at a young age.
