Chapter One
The Samurai Power Rangers continued their battle with the Nighlok monsters for almost seven months by now. Neither side giving up, and always continuing, the fought day in and day out.
Jayden and Emily had further developed their relationship. Not that anyone cared, but the other Rangers would make fun of them for kissing in the living room as they walked by. "Good grief, get a room you two." Mia joked around with them at one point and time. They didn't care. Also, another Ranger had joined them. His name was Wesley. He had created his own powers from the element of Light, and was the Gold Ranger. He controlled the Claw Megazord, and used his Light Dagger as his main weapon. His Samuraizer was called the Light Cell Samurizer. He was a giant prankster.
Jake would come by every so often to train with the others, and keep up with the times, incase they needed him to fill in and join in battle. Ji didn't mind this. Even though the rule was "Stay away from your family and friends to protect them.", Jake was an exception because he had held the Yellow Samurai mantle for a week. When Wesley had first met Jake, and duel him, it was a priceless moment.
"No offense to you, but I think I could win a duel." Wesley had boasted. Jake looked at the others with a grin on his face. "Go ahead Jake, duel him." Kevin said. The two had gone out to the ring, and Ji had told them to begin. Wesley took one strike in against Jake, and ended up disarmed, and landed on his butt outside of the ring.
Deker was still aggravated that Jayden had beat him with the Shogun Ranger powers, to which Jayden still used. Xandred was also still upset that he had lost Emily as a bride.
It was now October. The six Rangers were outside training as usual. Wesley was training with Mia, Mike and Kevin were fighting each other, and Jayden and Emily were also training. "Very good Rangers. You may stop for the day." Ji told them. Excited that it was Friday, the Rangers rushed back in. Emily however just slowly walked into the house, not excited at all. Her sister had been told that she may not have longer to live. Distraught at the thought of it, and dealing with her mean mother, Emily was praying left and right that Serena would be OK. She remembered the phone call from Jake all to well.
"Emily, its Jake." Jake said. "Hey Jake, what's up? Ready to train again?" she had asked him. "No, it's Serena, the doctors told her she may not have longer to live. Uncle Dave and Aunt Marie are with her at the doctors. Uncle Dave told me to tell you." Jake informed her. Emily's heart dropped into her stomach. She could tell he had been crying. Trying to be strong, she asked. "How much longer?" "They say about one month to two months tops." he replied sadly.
After hanging up the phone with him, she had broken down in tears and went outside. It had been a warm night, and while she cried, Ji came out and saw her crying. He put his arm around her and held her while she sobbed. Ji informed the Rangers the next day, and gave them the day off, which was spent at the beach.
Emily slowly walked into hers and Mia's room, and just sat on her bed. Mia was in there reading a book. "Hey you OK Emily?" Mia asked. "No, I'm worried about my sister. It's been two weeks since Jake called." Emily replied. "How is Jake?" Mia asked quickly, trying to change the subject. Emily smiled. The others knew Mia had a secret crush on Jake. "Why don't you text him and ask him?" Emily told her. Upon his departure, Jake had been given all the Rangers cell numbers. "I'm scared to." was Mia's reply.
Jayden knocked on the door. "Hey Emily, Would you like to go see a movie?" he asked her sweetly. Emily shook her head. "No. Not tonight. I'd rather just lounge around and be ready for any news." she said. Jayden walked over to her, sat down next to her, and put his arm around her. "I understand you're worried, but you can't just let it consume you like this." he told her gently. She knew he was right, but she just couldn't go have a good time while her sister was dying. "Jayden, I know you're trying to help, but I can't just do it." she said. Jayden nodded. He then kissed her, and left the room. Emily put her face into her pillow, and began to sob, while Mia rubbed her back.
Jayden walked into the living room where Kevin, Mike, and Wesley were watching a Family Guy marathon. "Hey Jayden. You and Emily going to the movies?" Kevin asked. Jayden shook his head. "No, she didn't want to go. She wants to lounge around and wait for news." he replied. Mike looked over. "I wish she wouldn't do this to herself." he said. Jayden looked at him. "Yeah, I wish she wouldn't either." he agreed.
Suddenly, there was a scream coming from Emily's room. The four Rangers got up to rush to the room, but were met halfway by Mia, who had tears in her eyes. "It's Emily. Serena is gone!" Mia exclaimed.
