Disclaimer: I don't own Power Rangers. I don't own this episode or any others. I am just writing this story. Author's note: This is probably my favorite episode from Samurai. I'm writing this two-parter to make up for the very disappointing ones from the actual series. Naturally, this means there will be two chapters. One for Part 1 and one for Part 2. Also, if the lines I give them aren't exactly what was in the episode. It's because I'm taking it in a different direction. And by that I mean that is that almost none of the lines will match up. Also, if you read my other fics, I am actually trying my hardest to keep to the series, so no confirmed Jemily, but since on the show Emily showed more chemistry with Jayden than Mike, that may pop up. I'm not angry or anything that Mike ended up with her, it's just that MIKE DOESN'T DESERVE HER! Um, well, now that I got that out, I think I can settle into a sorta series-writing mode. Yeah, re-reading this after the fact. I failed. It has really strong Jemily overtones. So, yeah.

Emily woke up happy, because today was a special day. It was her birthday, and she wanted to tell the other Rangers. She got dressed and went looking around the Shiba house for them. The house seemed strangely quiet. She couldn't hear anyone training, when either Jayden or Kevin would have been. She kept looking around.


After Emily passed by a room, Mike snuck in and made the other Rangers jump in surprise.

"Wow." Mike said looking at them.

"It's not funny! We thought you were Emily" Mia told him.

"Whatever. How are we doing on the decorations?" Mike asked.

"We've almost finished." Jayden said, putting some final touches on a banner that read 'Happy Birthday Emily!"

"You know, my birthday was about a month ago, and we didn't do anything for that." Mike said.

"Yeah, well, next time tell us before your birthday is over." Kevin scolded him.

"Today is all Emily has been talking about for a week or so." Mia told him.

"Yeah, I know." Mike said, feeling guilty.

"Well, we don't want her getting too suspicious and checking our rooms. I'll go out and talk to her." Jayden said.

"Good luck." Mike said.

"Where is everybody?" Emily asked out loud, to no one in particular. Jayden walked into the hallway she was in.

"Hey, Emily." Jayden said.

"Jayden!" Emily said, excited to see someone.

"Why are you so happy?" Jayden asked, already knowing the answer.

"Well, today's a very special day." Emily started.

"Let me guess." Jayden said, pretending not to know. "You have a date?"

"No." Emily said, smiling.

"Um, you got a haircut?"

"No."

"Okay, I give up." Jayden fake-conceded defeat.

"Today's my birthday!" She said, jumping up and giving him a hug.

"Oh! That!" Jayden said.

"Where is everyone?"

"Kevin pulled Mia and Mike into his early morning jog, and Antonio is fishing."

"Of course." Emily said.

"So, we may have half an hour before they get back. What do you want to do for your birthday?" Jayden asked.

"Well, I really want everyone here, but, we could, um, I don't know." Emily said, confused.

"How about we just talk?" Jayden suggested.

"Sure. Maybe you can tell me more about yourself." Emily said.


"Ooh ah ooh. Master! Master! This Nighlok here says that he'll cause more misery than any other." Octoroo told Master Xandred.

"Good! Get me some more medicine and send him on his way!"

"Oh, I will be going now." Splitface said hopping out of the boat.


"And after I came back, I made a promise to myself." Jayden told her.

"What?" Emily asked.

"I promised myself that none of my team would get hurt while I could still stand."

"Jayden, look, I know that you feel like you have the weight of the world on your shoulders, and in some ways you do, but we can help. You don't need to sacrifice yourself for us."

"You and Kevin did for me." Jayden said, remembering.

"Yes, but there were two of us. You can't do everything on your own." Emily told him. Jayden was about to respond when the Gap Sensor went off. They headed off, and they were followed by the three other Rangers in the Shiba House.


Antonio was trying to sell his fish, when a Nighlok appeared in the area. He knew the others would be coming, so he morphed.

"Gold Power!" Antonio said. All of a sudden, he had morphed into the Gold Samurai Ranger. He saw the Nighlok standing over some unconscious people. The Nighlok went over to a cowering group.

"Hey!" Antonio yelled.

"Ah, a Power Ranger. Here to stop me?" Splitface asked turning around.

"Yeah! You're going down!"

"We'll see about that." Splitface turned back to the people and held out his arm. One person froze and a bright orb flew out of them. "Ah, delicious!"

"What are you doing to these people?" Antonio yelled.

"I'm taking their spirits, so that they'll fall into a deep sleep, and after sundown, they'll never wake up."

"No!" Antonio charged and started attacking. The Nighlok easily defended the attack, but was struck by another. The other Rangers had arrived.

"Time for you to end, Nighlok!" Jayden threatened.

"Only if you go first! Moogers!" The Nighlok summoned a group of Moogers for the team to battle. The Rangers were fighting them off about as well as usual, so the Nighlok took the time and started to get more people's spirits. He had cornered this one girl, but was hit by an attack.

"Ah, Yellow Ranger, you've come to stick up for this girl?"

"You won't hurt her, monster!" Emily attacked again. The Nighlok stuck out its arm, but couldn't attack.

"I'm drying out, you got lucky this time, Rangers! We'll see about next time." The Nighlok went back to the Sanzu River, along with the Moogers.

"Antonio! What's going on?" Jayden asked.

"He stole these people's spirits! If we don't get them back before sundown, they'll be asleep forever!" Antonio said.

"We have to help these people!" Emily said.

"We need to figure out a way to defeat the Nighlok. There is probably something about it in the book." Jayden said.

"Where is it?" Emily asked.

"It's at the Shiba House. We need to regroup." Kevin explained.

"What a day." Mia said, sad for Emily. "What a way to spend a birthday." She thought.


At the Shiba House, Jayden and Emily were reading about the Nighlok. They read about how there was a level of spirits that the Nighlok would consume in a day, and they stopped it before it got to that level. It would be back, they just had to wait.

"Sorry, Em." Jayden said.

"What?" She asked.

"I know that this is a horrible way to celebrate a birthday." Jayden said.

"I know, but it's my responsibility as a Samurai Ranger to put others before myself."

"You are the best of us." Jayden told her.

"No. You're the leader. You're the best. I'm just the young newcomer." Emily said.

"Emily! That's not true. I may be the leader, but I have a secret."

"What is it?"

"I can't tell you. At least, not yet." Jayden said, angry that he slipped up.

"Jayden. Where is everybody?" Emily asked.

"Um, training, maybe?" Jayden suggested, knowing that they were trying to put the final touches on the party.

"Well, I need to train." She headed to the dojo. "Um, they aren't here!" Emily yelled.

"I don't know!" Jayden said back.

"Will you spar with me?" Emily asked.

"Emily." Jayden said.

"Please, it's my birthday." Emily begged.

"Fine, but I'm not going easy on you." Jayden told her.

"Okay. Time to test my skill." Emily said as they got in position to train.


Jayden went easy on Emily for the first two rounds, but she caught onto him, so the third round he actually tried. Even then, Emily was still the best fighter against him. It was like the two of them knew what the other would do before they did it. In the end, Jayden won out. Then the Gap Sensor went off. The two of them ran off. Followed by the unseen other Rangers.


"Spirit, spirit on the wall. Spirit, spirit you will fall." Splitface taunted the humans.

"Nighlok!" Mike yelled. All of them were fully morphed.

"Ah, Rangers! I'm almost full of spirits. Only one left, and then I'll go back to the Sanzu River and you pathetic humans will fall asleep forever."

"That's not going to happen!" Kevin threatened.

"Moogers! Attack!" Splitface sent out the Moogers to weaken the Rangers.

Jayden made quick work of the Moogers around him, and he went after the Nighlok.

"Jayden!" Emily yelled, scared that the Nighlok would steal his spirit. Jayden looked, and saw that Emily was holding her own. In his confusion, the Nighlok attacked. He slashed at Jayden and Jayden flew a few feet away.

"No!" The other Rangers said.

"Ah, the Red Ranger. What a perfect soul to fill me up." Split face set the attack towards Jayden, but was stopped by an attack. Antonio used his sword and hit him. Jayden got up and attacked. Splitface broke up into many pieces and flew away. He ended up on the other side of the city center. The Rangers took after him, not wanting him to get out of their sights and steal somebody's spirit.

"Nighlok, this is the end!" Mike yelled as he attacked. He was about to hit the Nighlok, but it split apart and Mike hit nothing but air. The Nighlok appeared next to Antonio, who took his sword and hit him especially hard. Afterwards, the Nighlok pushed him away and went after Emily. He got near her.

"Hello, Yellow Ranger." He said.

"You won't succeed. We'll save those people!" She yelled.

"Ah. How noble of you. You'll be perfect." The Nighlok summoned more Moogers for the other Rangers and aimed his attack at Emily.

"Emily!" Mia yelled.

"NO!" Jayden screamed, fighting the Moogers.

The Nighlok stole Emily's spirit. She fell to the ground and demorphed.

"Ah, filled right to the top. Perfect." The Nighlok then left to the Sanzu River.

"Emily!" The other Rangers hurried over to her. She was out cold. Her spirit was gone.

"We have to get her to the Shiba House!" Jayden told the team. They all grabbed Emily and headed there.


"Ah, Master Xandred. I've done it. I stole 1000 souls and the very last one was the Yellow Samurai Ranger. They'll be helpless against you now." Splitface told him.

"Good. Now all we have to do is wait for the spirits to become inert and then you can do it all over again!" Master Xandred told him laughing his maniacal laugh.

To Be Continued...

So, what did you think? Did you like it? Anyways, tell me if you like the direction that I took and whether or not this was a good idea. I may do another one for Fight Fire With Fire, my favorite Super Samurai episode, although that one is a little harder to determine where to split the parts. The second chapter should be out around Christmas, although with my schedule, that means a late February release. ;) That's a joke, it'll be out before 2014. Hopefully. So, I hope you enjoyed this.
