Well, getting inspired from my first Power Rangers story, Maroon Thunder, I've decided to start one with our favorite Samurai! So without further ado, here is the first chapter of The Samurai of the Spirit! Enjoy!

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Power Rangers. Saban does and let's leave it at that.

Power Rangers: Super Samurai

The Samurai of The Spirit

Chapter 1-To The House of Seishin

It was an important day at the Shiba house as the six Rangers: Jayden, the Red and the Samurai of Fire, Kevin the Blue and the Samurai of the Water, Mia the Pink and the Samurai of the Wind, Mike the Green and the Samurai of the Forest, Emily the Yellow and the Samurai of the Earth, and Antonio the Gold and the Samurai of the Light, and their trainer Mentor Ji as they were packing for a journey to a Guardian household for some insight and training with their new Super Modes in order to get stronger against their enemies the Nighloks who were led by Master Xandred who was once sealed by the last Red Ranger, Jayden's dad, but had broken free and desperately wants revenge by flooding the human world with the Sansu River.

As the team of heroes were gathering in the main room with their bags, the green themed rebel asked again, "And why are we going to this place again?"

"Mike we've told you before," the young leader repeated for the fifth time. "The Seishin family were once part of the Rangers, but since defeating a powerful Nighlok they took charge of guarding its ashes so that they wouldn't touch a single drop of the Sansu River, regenerate, and return to cause havoc on the human race once more. And they have a library with the all of the knowledge on our ancestors and possibly learn why the first Red Ranger never finished the Black Box in the first place. Plus update it on what we know about the Super Mode."

"Ah, right," the laid-back teen remembered, still thinking it wasn't worth the time.

"Oh, come on Mike," the young blonde-haired girl goaded. "Think of it like a vacation. Just one for special training and learning."

"Emily is right, you know," the disciplined young man.

Sighing, the video-game loving teen agreed, "Okay, okay. I guess you are right. I'm sorry for being a downer guys."

"Is everybody ready to go?," Ji asked, walking in behind the group.

Everybody nodding their agreements, their mentor continued, "Alright, then. Though we don't have far to go, we all must remember that defending the city must be our first priority and if any trouble comes we must stop and fight that battle before continuing. I'm sure that they will understand what we have to do once we arrive. Now, we better get going before it gets too late to travel."

Gathering their stuff, the team followed their teacher out the door and into two waiting SUVs that bore the Samurai Ranger symbol on the driver doors that drove out of the gate and to their destination.

Managing to make it without any deterrants, the vehicles stopped in front of gates that lead into grounds which let the Rangers get out with their stuff and stand in front of the entrance as their transportation drove off. A few moments passed before the barrier opened up to let them in and saw the entire Seishin family waiting to greet their visitors to their home. As the two approached each other, the Guardians bowed respectfully to their guests, and after straightening up Samuel, the head of the house, said, "Welcome fellow warriors to our humble home. We are honored to have you stay with us in our comfortable abode. Our home is your home the time that you are here. Please, come with us and we will show you around and to your rooms. Tara will be your guide while you all are here."

Directing to the young woman standing beside the eldest boy she stepped forward and waved slightly her black hair catching the afternoon sun and almost looked like it turned to silver. Her expression brightening, she gestured to the entrance and said, "Please, follow me."

Leading the newcomers in and down the main hallway she explained, "For five generations we have lived in this house, training in the ways of our ancestors and serving our duties to guard a once powerful monster that almost wiped out the Seishin Clan for good."

Just as she said that the group passed by a closed off room that sat in the middle of the house. Moving in front of the door Tara had to move quicker than usual due to the fact that the evil that was held behind the door was effecting her ability to sense another's spirit she almost ran into a young man that was sweeping up the area. When she was able to clear her head, the guide said, "Oh, sorry Robert. I didn't mean to almost bowl you over like that."

"Hey, no harm no foul," the other replied.

Noticing the others he added, "So you must be the Rangers we've been getting ready for. The name's Robert. Nice to meet all of you."

"Robert's been helping out the family for a few months now," the hostess explained. "Though he's not a member of the family, he's sure been a great assistance to us. Which reminds me, could you go get the twins and tell them that it's time for them to practice their symbol power?"

"Sure. No problem at all," the hired hand agreed heading off down another hallway.

Continuing on with the tour, they came to a large room that held all sorts of book, scrolls, documents and weapons the secondborn informed, "This is where we keep everything that details not only our family but the entire Samurai history, from every symbol that can be performed to the great wins and losses that we have gained. Tomorrow we'll show you our training grounds and more of this place but for now I need to show you to where you'll be staying in and get to dinner."

Taking them to another part of the house that held the guest bedrooms Tara said, "We have enough space for all of you to comfortably get settled into. Though we don't get visitors a whole lot, we make sure that they are ready just in case. Father instructed me to tell you that boys get one side and girls get the other, but which side is your choice. I'll leave you to it. The dinner bell should be ringing soon. The dining room is across the way from here, but I'll be back to show you just in case."

With that, the young girl left to help her mother with the preparations, leaving the team to head into their rooms and put their stuff away, and soon enough it was time for the evening meal and Tara was back again to show her guests to the spacious dining room where the other members of the Seishin family were gathered along with Ji who were waiting for them. And the huge feast waiting, too. As they sat down and the food was being passed around, small conversations quickly began popping up and connections were quickly being made, like with Mia and Rosemary, the Pink Ranger complimenting on the wonderful food and asked for some pointers on how to make a great meal like this. Soon after the table was cleared, dinner put away, and the dishes washed all fifteen people were in bed and sound asleep, the next day slowly coming for another round of training that would prove to be one that the Rangers would learn from for a long time.

And there we go! First chapter of my second Power Rangers story! In the next chapter there's going to be action, excitement, and a mysterious deal that could cause things to go out of control...

Please be sure to review and see you all next time!
