Chapter One
It was another typical day for the Samurai Rangers. They had been practicing hard all day long. It was worth it however, as mentor had told them he was giving them Saturday off. Excited, the Rangers worked their butts off to do good that day, and the rest of the week.
It was then however, the Gap Sensor went off. The Rangers rushed out of the Mansion, and to the city.
In the city, a new Nighlok was attacking. He looked like a mixture between an Ape, and a Samurai, and had a long black katana. He was looking for some fun.
"Stop right there Nighlok!" a voice called from behind him. The Nighlok turned around to see the Rangers standing there, fully morphed.
"Ah Rangers, good of you to join me. I am Apekana, the most feared Nighlok in all of the Sanzu River. I am so strong, I make Master Xandred look like a wimp." the Nighlok gloated.
Mike stepped forward. "We'll see about that!" he said. The Rangers ran forward, Spin Swords raised. Apekana then charged at them, pulling out his black katana.
Mike charged in first, and swung at Apekana. Apekana merely knocked away Mike's Spin Sword, and struck him directly in the chest, sending him to the ground. Emily tried next, and got hit harder than Mike, and hit the ground hard.
Kevin then tried. Being a better swordsman, they figured he would have a better chance. They however, were very wrong. Kevin managed to hold Apekana off for a few minutes, but ultimately got hit, and de-morphed before he hit the ground. Mia then tried, but had no effect on Apekana. She just got knocked to the side like a rag doll.
Finally, Jayden made his attempt at fighting Apekana. It was a better attempt than what the other Rangers could pull off, but it still had no effect on him. After five minutes, Jayden got struck in the chest with Apekana's katana, and fell to the ground, writhing in pain.
"You Power Ranger are no match for me! Now feel the wrath of my blade, Sumasa!" Apekana yelled. His katana then began to glow, and he sent an energy wave straight at the Rangers. It hit them hard, save for Kevin, who managed to get out of the way. The morphed Rangers then de-morphed. Apekana then laughed.
"No Power Ranger, or even Deker can beat me!" he laughed hysterically. He then laughed and walked away, leaving the Ranger on the ground, soundly defeated.
Watching this however, was Mentor, who sighed. He knew what they needed to be able to defeat this Nighlok. The question was, could they handle the challenge?
