A/N: Here it is! My Clash of the Red Rangers, my own version, special, just like I promised. I would highly implore you guys read "Top of the World" first, as it will have some clues to that story in here, but you don't have to. What this special is, though, is basically, Clash of the Red Rangers, Jemily style. Pretty much. Anyways, Memily fans, I apologize if you are offended by this story, but Jemily fans, go on and enjoy.
Disclaimer: I do not own Power Rangers. Mr. Saban does and always will.
By Chapter 16.5, I mean in "Top of the World", the story this special goes with. This special comes right after "Something Fishy", but before "The Rescue"

Special ~ Chapter 16.5
"Immortal Bonds and Unbreakable Promises"
AKA: Clash of the Red Rangers
Part 1: Ranger Red
April 3, 2013
Panorama City, City Square
"Zip, Zip, Zip, Zip!"
Three buildings collapsed, the rubble trapping hundreds of innocent civilians within. Screams sounded through the entire vicinity. Their tears and their screams, their fear, were raising the Sanzu River even higher as Sharkjaw stopped spinning and laughed at their misery.
"Master Xandred will be so pleased! Zip, Zip, Zip!" He spun around again and destroyed another two buildings.
His spinning and fun was stopped by a blue arrow. Sharkjaw collapsed to the ground, but quickly got back up.
"Ah, I knew you'd show up, Rangers!" Sharkjaw sounded somewhat pleased with himself.
"It's time we put our own spin on things," The Red Ranger said. The others nodded. "Samurai Power of Fire! Red Ranger, Ready!"
"Samurai Power of Water! Blue Ranger, Ready!"
"Samurai Power of Wind! Pink Ranger, Ready!"
"Samurai Power of Trees! Green Ranger, Ready!"
"Samurai Power of Earth! Yellow Ranger, Ready!"
"Don't forget me!" The sixth Ranger jumped in and landed beside the Pink Ranger. "Samurai Power of Light! Gold Ranger, Ready!"
"Oh, don't bother now, but you may need reinforcements~" Sharkjaw stated before spinning around again, "Zip, Zip, Zip!"
And he was right.

Panorama City, Seventh Avenue
So there they were, the five Samurai Rangers, walking down Main Street twenty-three minutes later. And they had lost to Sharkjaw. The only thing that had saved them was the Nighlock drying out, like usual. Antonio had gone off to fish and think of a plan they could use to defeat Sharkjaw the next time they met.
"Health freak~!" Mike sing-songed, as the five walked, ice cream in hand.
"Shove off, Mike!" Kevin muttered. He was the only one who didn't have ice cream. "I got a carrot and some celery because I'm been feeling a bit sluggish lately."
"Is it because we lost to Sharkjaw?" Mike asked, his smirk never going away.
"Mike..." Jayden warned. He didn't want to have to break up yet another argument between these two.
"Says the one who got his sword snapped in half by the enemy," Kevin shot back. Mike's smirk immediately disappeared.
"Stop, you two, please," Emily said, taking a lick of her cookie dough ice cream. Jayden, beside her with his chocolate ice cream, nodded, agreeing with her completely.
"She's right," he said. "Now's not the time for an argument, at least, not one I want to intervene in. I'm actually feeling pretty tired right now."
"All in all," Mia cut in, with her strawberry ice cream, "Mike, stop picking on him."
"But he's eating veggies!" Mike started walking backwards. "The rest of us got ice cream!"
"It's none of your business what Kevin gets, Mike," Emily replied, while Jayden sighed, both in aggravation and in relief. Another argument was breaking out, but for once, he wasn't the one trying to stop it. Leave it to Emily and Mia to make him feel better.
"If you have a problem with him eating healthy, just keep it to yourself," Mia said.
Mike lightly grunted in annoyance, but deep down, he knew they were right. "Sorry, Kevin," he apologized. He sounded extremely annoyed, but he meant every word.
"You are forgiven –"
"Watch out!" Jayden cried out and pulled Emily to the side, Kevin pulling both Mike and Mia the same way, as a car slammed down right in front of them, nose pointed down. The car alarm blaring, Jayden could feel Emily trembling with fear in his arms.
He quietly, gently whispered to her, "You okay?"
"Just scared out of my wits, Jay, but I'm fine," she answered.
"What the hell was that?" Mike asked, voicing everyone's thoughts. Kevin was patting Mia on the back, trying to soothe her and succeeding.
Kevin thought it through carefully. "It came from above."
"We should check it out. It could be another Nighlock attack," Jayden said,
"Wouldn't Mentor have notified us already if there was? He always tells us when the gap Sensor goes while we're away," Emily tried to reason.
"Yes, Em, he would. But whether it's another Nighlock or something else, we should check it out." The others nodded and followed him, all of them missing a figure clad in red reaching in, turning the key and shutting off the car alarm.
"There are...Rangers in this dimension too?" He asked himself.
~P~O~W~E~R~R~A~N~G~E~R~S~S~U~P~E~R~S~A~M~U~R~A~I~T~O~P~O~F~T~H~E~W~O~R~L~D~
Panorama City, Construction Zone: Seventh Avenue, Freeway Overpass
The Rangers got there to find weird monsters attacking the humans. Mike was confused.
"Moogers?"
"With armor?" Kevin asked.
"They don't sound like Moogers," Mia said. "They're making some kind of machine-like sound, as if they're robots."
"Whatever they are, they need to be handled with care," Jayden said, "and by 'care'..."
"You mean 'extreme prejudice'," Mike finished. "Gotcha."
"You took the words right out of my mouth," Jayden smirked and flipped out his Samruaizer.
"Go, Go, Samurai!"
But their swords were, well, bouncing right off...
"Our swords!" Emily exclaimed as she blocked a laser from one the things. "Our swords don't work on them!"
"They're machines!" Kevin shouted at his team. "Swords can't cut metal!"
"Keep trying!" Jayden called back to them. "Use your Power Disks if you have to!" He turned around to face some more of the machines, but a few laser beams came out of nowhere and destroyed a few of them.
Wait! Jayden paused, as nothing can come out of nowhere. It's physically impossible. He turned to see a figure clad in red.
"Another Ranger?" Jayden asked himself. It couldn't be Lauren. One: she would have sent him a note, saying that she was done with her training. Two: the body figure was all wrong, as she was obviously a female, and this Ranger was a male. Three: the spandex uniform design was completely different from that of a Samurai Ranger.
"Hey," The mysterious Ranger greeted. "It looks like you guys could use some help." He then went on to confirm Kevin's hypothesis. "They're called Grinders and they're made of metal, so your swords won't cut it. Laser blasters, on the other hand, work perfectly. Leave it to me. You guys hang tight."
The Ranger jumped up and started blasting every single Grinder in sight. A few Grinders came charging up to Jayden, who had to resort to fighting them himself.
While he was trying to beat these machines, he heard a very familiar-sounded scream. He tensed up and turned around.
Sure enough, there was Emily, still morphed, but falling from a great height, off the side of the bridge and down onto the streets eighteen feet below.
"Emily!" He nearly screamed, scared out of his mind. Just the fact that these Grinders couldn't be beaten by them, only this new Ranger, was enough to drive him mad. These Grinders having the advantage over them only made it worse.
Not to mention that Jayden wasn't fast enough to catch Emily. Her fate was sealed.
Something zoomed fast Jayden, destroying all the Grinders on the way, and then went over the edge. Kevin ran to Jayden, as did Mike and Mia. But as soon as they reached him, Jayden finally snapped out of whatever reverie he was stuck in, regarding Emily's demise, he ran over to the side of the bridge they were on. As the three chased after him again, they all shared a concerned look with each other and looked over the side with him.
It was just like with Emily's birthday. If they lost Emily here, what would they do? Where would they go?
Nothing. They didn't see that mystery ranger nor did they see Emily. Neither of them could decide whether that was a good thing or a bad thing.
"Hey," a familiar voice said, and they turned to see the Mystery Ranger. "You looking for her?" In his arms was Emily, de-morphed, and her face was a little red. Seeing this, the others de-morphed as well. Jayden's was a little angry, he didn't know why, but it wasn't a good feeling. Emily appeared to be smiling up at this mysterious Ranger, and this only made him angrier.
"Put her down," was all Jayden replied with.
"Now, now, is that any way to thank somebody after they just saved your girlfriend?" The Ranger asked, and the three Rangers beside Jayden stifled their laughs. Jayden only tensed up, his face going red as well as Emily's blush getting darker.
"First of all, she is not my girlfriend. Second, I have no idea who you are. Even if you did save us and her, I'm going to have to treat you like an enemy."
"Okay, okay," the Ranger said, putting Emily down on her feet gently. "There you go."
"Thanks," Emily said, a bubbly smile across her face. She turned to Jayden, who was still angry and was still showing. "Jayden, be nice. He just saved me from terrible injuries."
"I'm aware of that, Emily," he quietly retorted, which meant he was either calming down, or he was on the verge of blowing a gasket. However, Emily had no doubt that it was the latter. "And while I am extremely grateful for that, we have no idea who or what he is, or what his purpose here is. There is no harm in being careful."
"Oh, I get it," the Ranger cut in. "You're just mad because I took out those Grinders for you, huh? I might as well introduce myself, I mean, you're not gonna let me go anytime soon, are you? After all, you are the Rangers of this city. You protect it. I get your position. Let's start with my Ranger Designation. I am a Power Ranger, just like you guys. The name's Truman, Scott Truman, and I am the Red Ranger of the RPM Rangers. Where I come from, they call me Ranger Red. My team and I, in our dimension, are highly respected, as we are their only hope of fighting the robots that seek a way to contaminate and destroy the city we live in. Better?"
"A little," Jayden replied, Kevin and Mike agreeing with him. They shouldn't just trust anyone. "But I can't say that we've officially met until I can look you in the eyes."
Emily snuck a worried look between Jayden and Scott. A fight was about to break out. She could practically feel it coming as they stood there.
"About that," Scott hesitated to answer. He pointed to his eyes. "I have my reasons."
Kevin dragged Mike and Jayden both into a tight circle. "No matter what his reason is, we shouldn't just trust him so easily." Mike nodded, showing Jayden that he agreed with Kevin fully. Mia, however, rolled her eyes, and joined Emily in grabbed Scott's arms, one girl on either side of him.
"Oh, don't be ridiculous," Emily said, a smile stretching across her face. "He's obviously a friend."
"Yeah," Mia agreed, succeeding in and officially irking Kevin off. "I'll go make some dinner for you. After all, you are a guest."
And with that said, Mia and Emily led, more like dragged, Scott to the Shiba House, the boys staring after them, but following after them.
Emily had wanted to delay that fight between Scott and Jayden, so she got Scott away from there as soon as possible. Because she knew that when Jayden was, he was very dangerous.

Shiba House, Meeting Room
When Mia opened the door to the Shiba House, Emily led Scott in. To say he was surprised at the lack of technology was an understanding. The only thing he liked about their hideout was Jii's motorcycle that he seen on the way in.
"I'll go start on dinner," Mia said, racing ahead towards the kitchen. Emily turned turned to Scott.
"So, this is our Headquarters," she told him. "So why don't de-morph, make yourself at home, and explain your mission here a little more?"
"Well, this isn't exactly what I had in mind," Scott replied, "But to answer your question, I can't de-morph. I don't know if I can breathe the air here. You see, in my dimension, we've been forced to live a dome city in order to escape and save people from the toxic fumes the robots have created. That city is really the only place I can de-morph without a second thought."
Emily's smile faded when he said this. "I-I'm so sorry..."
"No, no, don't. It's not your fault. Anyways, I'm here to track down a robot called Professor Cog that escaped to this dimension, but I didn't exactly expect to find another team of Rangers already protecting this dimension. So, since you know a little about me, I think it's only fair you tell me about yourselves."
Jayden tensed up, hesitating. But Emily shot him a glare which shut him up fast, something she had never done before, and his anger only grew.
"We're here because of demons from the Netherworld, called Nighlock. They're not robots, which is why our swords can't cut those Grinders. They simply weren't designed to do so," Emily said.
"I see," Scott said. "Look, I need some time alone. Do you have, like, a spare bedroom that I can use?"
Jayden, still feeling hurt that Emily had gotten mad at him, had changed his tone to calm and somewhat gentle, "Sure, there's a couple spare rooms in the back. Just pick whichever one you prefer better."
Scott nodded and left the room. Emily turned to Jayden, feeling guilty about glaring at him. She just wanted him to hear Scott's story without any interruptions. "Jayden..."
"Sorry, Em," he said as soon as she spoke his name. "I just don't like the way he looks at you."
Kevin and Mike's expressions changed and they smiled at each other, trying to stifle their laughs, as Emily said, amusement clear in her voice, "He's wearing a helmet, Jayden. How could you tell?"
Jayden cleared his throat, trying to silence the Blue and Green Rangers behind him. "Trust me, Em. I just can..."
Emily's smile grew wider as Mike and Kevin's laughter failed to be kept inside them any longer.
