Jayden's childhood friend Antonio has joined the team and soon enough becomes Mia's boyfriend. Everyone is happy for the couple but when Jayden sees how happy his friends are together, he starts wishing to have what they have.

Ch. 1 Unexpected Arrival

Jayden was sitting out on the steps in front of the mansion after a tough battle with a nighlok. He couldn't stop thinking about the mysterious ranger that showed up and helped him and his feet and if the friends. He was positive his father or mentor would've told him if there was another member of the team.

"If there's supposed to be another member of the team, why didn't they come here three months ago with the others?" Jayden wondered.

"Hey Jayden," Jayden looked up at the sound of someone's voice. It was a Hispanic looking boy dragging some tackle boxes behind him. "Long time no see,"

Jayden stood up. "Who are you? How do you know my name?"

"After all these years this is how you greet your best friend?" He placed his hands over his heart. "I'm really hurt,"

"Best friend…" He repeated, then a light bulb went off above his head. "Antonio?"

"So you do remember me,"

"I can't believe it's really you,"

"Believe it," The two shared a hug. "I told you I'd be back to fight with you."

Jayden separated himself from Antonio. "You mean that promise to be a samurai with me?"

"Yeah, you didn't think I'd forget did you?"

"So then that was you earlier? The gold ranger,"

"That's me and I'm ready to join your team of samurai. When do I get to meet them?"

Before Jayden could answer, the doors opened and the other rangers stepped out. "Who's your friend Jayden?" Mike asked.

"I'm Antonio, Jayden and I go way back."

"Well hey, I'm Emily, this is Mia, Mike and Kevin. It's nice to meet you Antonio."

"You too, you guys got some mad skills."

"What do you mean?" Mia asked wondering what he was referring to.

"I mean battling that nighlok,"

"You were there?"

"Yeah, I'm the gold ranger. And I'm ready for some action." Antonio did some punches and advanced export growth of all of which have all the events of that stock listings kicks at Jayden who countered his last punch. "Still think you can take me?" Jayden answered by getting in a stance and trading punches and kicks with his childhood friend.

"That guy's amazing," Emily commented watching the two spar. "I vote he should join our team,"

"Wait," Kevin said. "He's good today but one battle doesn't make him a samurai."

"Say what you want but today Antonio definitely delivered his golden moment," Mia said.

"I think he'd be good for the team," Mike added. "Now we're evened out so one of us doesn't have to sit out during training, and now Jayden won't feel left out."

"What do you mean left out?" Kevin asked.

"Well, you and I are best friends, and the girls are totally bff's."

"Yeah," Emily agreed. "It'd be good for Jayden to have his best friend here, I mean maybe Antonio could help him loosen up more."

"It looks like he's the only one that matches up to Jayden," Mia added.

It wasn't much longer before Jayden won his little sparring match. "You did well,"

"Thanks, now where's Ji? I can't wait to see the look on his face when he sees me again."

"You better make a good impression, you left numerous bad ones when you were a kid."

"What did he do?" Emily asked hoping to know a bit about Jayden's past.

"Well, he distracted me. He'd come visit and we'd play, it was the only time I felt like a normal kid. And he'd really piss Ji off when he caught me playing instead of practicing. He'd be upset with Antonio for distracting me and mad at me for not blocking out distractions like I was trained to do."

"So where's the old guy?" Antonio asked.

"Inside, and you probably shouldn't call him old if you want him to like you," Mia warned.

"Right, thanks pretty lady," Antonio gathered his stuff and headed inside.
