Synopsis

In the city of Blue Bay Harbor, Shane Clarke, Tori Hanson and Dustin Brooks are three students at the Wind Ninja Academy. Their less than stellar performance and tardiness gets them the occasional lecture from their Sensei, Kanoi Watanabe. One day, the academy is attacked by Lothor, a banished ninja master and Kanoi's identical twin brother, who has returned to capture all the ninja students. Shane, Tori and Dustin are the only three remaining students, and along with Sensei, who has been transformed into a guinea pig by Lothor, and his son Cam, retreat into the underground Ninja Ops. There, the three are given Wind Morphers, which allow them to transform into Power Rangers Ninja Storm and protect the city of Blue Bay Harbor from Lothor's forces.

When Lothor demonstrates his ability to make his monsters grow, the Rangers unleash the Ninja Zords, which could combine into the Storm Megazord and destroy monsters with its arsenal of Power Spheres, activated by special ninja power disks. Lothor again raises the stakes by sending his new allies to battle the Wind Rangers - the Thunder Rangers, Blake and Hunter Bradley, who have their own Thunder Zords. The Thunder Rangers are on a mission to destroy the Wind Rangers' Sensei, who they believed to be responsible for their parents' death, but a visit from the afterlife from Blake and Hunter's parents show them the truth - that it was Lothor who killed them. The Thunder Rangers see the error of their ways and join the Wind Rangers in the battle against Lothor, bringing the Thunder and Ninja Zords together to form the Thunderstorm Megazord.

When the Rangers lose their powers, Cam uses the Scroll of Time to travel into the past and retrieve the Samurai Amulet, a family heirloom in the possession of his late mother, where he discovers how Lothor rose to power. Cam returns to the present and uses the amulet to become the Green Samurai Ranger, armed with the Samurai Star Megazord, which later combines with the Rangers' zords to form the Hurricane Megazord. A lost scroll would later reveal to Cam the Lightning Riff Blaster, which could summon the Mighty Mammoth Zord, which combines with the Thunderstorm Megazord or the Hurricane Megazord to form the Thunderstorm Ultrazord or the Hurricane Ultrazord.

In a last-ditch effort to take over the world, Lothor attempts to open the Abyss of Evil and release its evil, causing all the monsters that were defeated over the season to be resurrected. In a final battle, the rangers, along with the rescued ninja students manage to defeats Lothor's revived army, but he steals the Samurai Amulet and uses it to take away all of the Rangers' powers. However the Wind Rangers combine their inner ninja powers to overpower Lothor and throw him into the abyss. After the battle, the powerless Rangers become ninja masters at the Wind Ninja Academy.

They kidnap Sensei, blaming him for their parents' death, not realizing just how wrong they are. After Sensei seals himself inside a protective sphere, the Thunder Rangers head for a cave that contains what they need to break it. Hot on their trail, the Wind Rangers catch up with and briefly aid them. When they finally reach the cave, all is revealed when the ghosts of Hunter and Blake's parents appear.

Sensei expresses his disapproval and explains his concern to his son, adding that he will never let Cam be a Ranger because of a promise he made to his Mother, Miko.

Tori, who misses Blake, takes Dustin's bike for a ride to feel close to him but ends up running into Blake in the woods. Choobo has told Blake and Hunter that he wants to leave Lothor’s army and will help them invade Lothor's ship. While Tori believes them, Shane and Dustin are hesitant. Hunter and Blake make their way to Lothor's ship, and things go awry. When the Rangers battle another of Lothor's creations, they disappear without a trace. Temperatures across the globe start to drop at an alarming rate, while the confused Rangers find themselves on an island.

Lothor looks on gleefully as the Thunder Rangers battle the Wind Rangers until Blake and Hunter begin to come to their senses. A formidable creature and the Rangers find that they have to get off the island before it sinks. Things take a turn for the worse when Hunter falls under a powerful spell that sends him on a murderous rampage for Blake, who is barely saved in time by the Wind Rangers. Blake becomes more eager to save his brother than the Wind Rangers are, but they help anyway, especially when they realize that the island is sinking.

Cam discovers where the Rangers are and contacts them; the Rangers find that there's only one way off the island, but it's hazardous. The Wind and Thunder Rangers have to work together, but they become on the verge of running out of time.

Choobo blames the Thunder Rangers for his punishment and will stop at nothing to seek revenge, capturing them when they go out for a ride to decide if they will accept Tori, Shane, and Dustin's offer. They are freed thanks to their friends, but things get worse when Choobo reveals just how powerful he is by casting a spell to control the Wind Rangers so that they will destroy the Thunder Rangers against their will. Meanwhile, Cam scrambles to resolve a mechanical difficulty in order to combine both Megazords into the Thunderstorm Megazord, giving the Rangers the edge they need to defeat Choobo. | LineColor = 7B26CA }} {{#invoke:Episode list|sublist|Power Rangers Ninja Storm | EpisodeNumber = 472 | EpisodeNumber2 = 14 | Title = Boxing Bopp-A-Roo | DirectedBy = Charlie Haskell | WrittenBy = Mark Hoffmeier | OriginalAirDate = Template:Start date | ShortSummary = The Rangers have agreed to work together to defeat Lothor.

It's up to Cam to save the day, though, when the Rangers are stripped of their powers by Metropolis. This forces Cam to go on a dangerous quest to the past--during which time is frozen in the present--to find the only thing that can save the world, the Samurai Amulet.

In the beginning of his quest, Cam finds himself 30 years in the past. There are many more surprises in store for the young warrior when he meets his mom and dad as teenagers and discovers that his father has a brother named Kiya, who is determined to take a mesmerizing amulet from Miko, Cam's mother. Cam interferes with his attempt and is later accused when it appears that Cam has stolen the amulet. His father, Kanoi, uncovers the truth, which leads to a face-off between Cam and Kiya. It is revealed that Kiya was the banished ninja who is now reborn as Lothor. Later, time runs out, and Cam reluctantly leaves to save the other Rangers, armed with a special gift from his mother, the Samurai Amulet. With the amulet, Cam becomes the Green Ranger & helps the other Rangers defeat Metropolis with the Samurai Star Megazord.

The Rangers are then ambushed by Lothor. They barely escape and retrieve their powers when each of them is forced to fight a monster alone. Sensei is still overprotective of Cam, but eventually encourages his son to know what he feels the right decision is. Cam morphs and sets off into battle, but is stung and almost turned into a bug. Sensei reveals to him how to undo the spell, which seems impossible. In the end, it takes all the Rangers, including Cam, to save the city. | LineColor = 7B26CA }} {{#invoke:Episode list|sublist|Power Rangers Ninja Storm | EpisodeNumber = 477 | EpisodeNumber2 = 19 | Title = Scent of a Ranger | DirectedBy = Andrew Merrifield | WrittenBy = Jackie Marchand | OriginalAirDate = Template:Start date | ShortSummary = Cam's personality has turned around completely to the point that he's more like Dustin than, say, himself, and doesn't seem remotely interested in being a Ranger anymore, doing nothing to help when a new monster named Fragra is turning people into perfumes, capturing Tori and Dustin in the process.

They accidentally make Blake and Cam fall in love with Tori, and they begin to physically fight for her affection.
