No Failure
[Goseiger 2. 3:35-4:13]
Vrak walked beside Malkor, making a comment and wave of his arm, "A setback, that is all."
On Malkor's other side was Clawhate, giving a short laugh, "A setback? Hardly. But then again what would you know? You're just a little lordling, playing at being conqueror. You know nothing about what a setback in war is."
"Quiet," Malkor hissed, lowering his axe between them, "We need someone to scout this world, clearly."
A floating shell-like shape flew towards them before touching down and forming into an insectoid warrior, bowing before Malkor.
"Yuffo," Malkor said as he rose. "Science is your area."
"I'll analyze them for you," Yuffo stated with thrill, "I'll bring samples back to you."
"Good," Malkor stated, "I doubt those fools will last long…"

Jake hovered by Gia's locker, but she ignored him. It wasn't hard to do that.
"Come on," he told her, "We're partners! We should be working together! Doing things together! Like maybe dinner and a movie?"
"No," she said with a cold simplicity to her voice. She pulled her necessary books out of her locker and closed it. She walked away from Jake without another word.
"Why?" he asked, hurrying after her, pretty much on her heel.
"Because we're partners in battle," she told him, "We command the powers of the Earth. That's all. We fight well together as is, we don't need anything else."
"It's called training," he said.
"Not what you're suggesting," she told him, walking into the classroom. At that he stopped, figuring it was stupid to keep talking about Ranger stuff with so many others around.
Their teacher was an older man named Mr. Burley. He was easy enough to confuse and become lost in thought, although he was good enough to get past those character flaws. He wasn't everybody's favorite, but enough people liked him.
"Let me remind you that this test will account for a lot of your grade," he told them as he passed tests out. It was true; this class didn't often have a lot of homework or tests, it was more lab work and studies. The problem was that he didn't grade the lab work as often as he should, so tests became a staple of how to determine one's grade.
Jake looked at the pages before him on his desk. He looked at Gia, who cast him one glance and then got to work.
"Should have studied…," he muttered. He looked it over, front to back, realizing he knew some of it, at least. Most of it was too confusing or hard for him to get. He wasn't stupid, he didn't not know the subject, it was more that he hadn't studied on it, and that's what was going to get him.
"I can't fail," he said to himself as he started. He hoped answering some easier questions would lead him to getting the harder ones, but that wasn't working.
He sat for about ten minutes with only a few questions answered. He saw Noah get up and turn his in at just about the same time as Gia. They left the room when they were done. He watched a myriad of other students go as well as more time passed, and then Emma and Troy.
Soon it was just Jake and one other student. Mr. Burley was watching from his desk, but alternated between watching and reading a book of some sort. Jake sighed when he saw the other student get up and turn his in.
After another few minutes Mr. Burley came back by Jake's desk and looked at his work, "Is something wrong?"
Jake shook his head, "I just can't get it," he told Mr. Burley, "I know some of it, but the rest…"
Mr. Burley just nodded, "Well, things happen," he said, "I can retest you tomorrow after class, if that would help."
Jake thought about it. It was probably his only chance. He had Ranger duties, like training to do (or so he assumed, it had only been a day since becoming a Ranger), but he knew he had to study. He had to pass this.
If he failed this, he'd probably just barley scrape by later on, when the semester ended. What good was a Ranger who couldn't balance their lives?
"Thanks Mr. Burley," Jake said as he stood up, "I really appreciate it."
"Well, I'm sure you'll study," Mr. Burley said, "Just repay my trust."
"I will," he told his teacher. He grabbed his things and hurried off.
"So, Mr. Burley let you retake it?" Noah asked as he and Jake walked around outside of school.
Jake kept looking around, trying to see Gia, but he couldn't find her. He did see Emma and Troy together, talking. Why didn't that work with Gia? They were both the Sky elemental Rangers, and were getting along, hanging out, so why wouldn't Gia hang out with him?
"Yeah," Jake said after a few moments, longer than it should have taken him to reply.
"Something else on your mind, I guess?" Noah asked.
"Oh, no, it's nothing," Jake said.
Noah didn't give him a response. He figured Jake was lying, but didn't ask about it.
"Hey Noah, how do you feel about not having a partner?" Jake asked, deciding to go that route.
"What are you talking about?" Noah asked, "I have four."
"We're a team, yeah," Jake said, "I mean an actual partner. Another Sea powered Ranger."
"Oh…," Noah said, "Well, I don't mind. I mean, I have you guys."
"Good way of looking at it," Troy said as he and Emma joined them.
Emma nodded, "Even if we're split by elements, we're all still one. We share the same mission, the same fight."
"A fight you should take more seriously," Troy told Jake.
"What?" Jake questioned.
"You were fine in the fight, we all were," Troy said, "But just listening to you talk…"
"What do you mean?" Jake questioned, annoyed.
"You think this is a game," Troy said, "You think because we put on the suits that we're invincible, that we can't lose, can't be hurt. But it's more than that, so much more."
"Look, I take it as seriously as anyone else!" Jake told him angrily.
"Then act like it," Troy told him.
"Troy, Jake," Emma said, trying to stop their arguing.
"Um…I kind of have to agree with that," Noah told Jake, "This isn't a game. This is real. We're fighting for our lives and for everyone else."
"I take it seriously!" he told them. He caught sight of Gia and ignored them. He ran off to catch up with her so he wouldn't have to listen to this.
"Did we hit a sore spot?" Troy wondered.
"He has to learn," Noah said, "He's a good guy, but…I think he takes this as a game…"
"I just hope we didn't hurt his feelings," Emma said.
Jake caught up to Gia quickly enough, but she didn't initiate any conversation.
"Hey Gia…do you think I did fine the other day?" he asked.
"In battle?" she asked, "Yeah. Just you seemed to take it too easily after."
"You too?" he questioned, "I'm taking this seriously!"
She stopped and looked at him, "You're acting like a child right now, throwing a tantrum because people won't listen to you. We can't have that. You don't have to be cold and efficient, but you have to have a sense of what's going on, not only around you, but with yourself as well. I think you're lacking that."
"Come on!" he told her, "That's not it at all!"
They were getting off of the grounds of the school and entering a path that went through the woods. There were some students ahead of them, and then they saw something strange.
[Goseiger 2. 6:16-16:17]
It was like a miniature flying saucer coming through the woods.
[Goseiger 2. 16:19-16:20 (note: digitally replace Agri and Moune behind the tree with Jake and Gia]
The two moved behind a tree and crouched down, watching it fly past them
[Goseiger 2. 6:22-6:24]
The saucer split into multiple and flew off farther down the path.
[End Sentai footage]
"You think that's one of those Empire guys?" Jake asked Gia.
She already had her Morpher drawn, "Well, whatever it is it's alien. Phantom Ranger, you read me?"
"What's the situation?" the voice of the Phantom Ranger responded.
Students who were walking down the path stopped as the saucers flew over them.
[Goeiger 2. 6:32-6:37]
Green blobs rose up from the ground, becoming Stingers which jumped towards them.
[End Sentai footage]
The numerous students were surrounded by the alien warriors while Jake and Gia ran to try to catch up and save them.
[Goseiger 2. 6:40-6:42]
Yuffo, still split into five saucers, hovered and spoke from one of the bodies, "Time to begin." Nets dropped from the bottom of the body.
[Goseiger 2. 6:43-6:47 (Note: It's only a split second off from the end of the last footage because of a close-up of Nozomu, which would obviously be cut)]
The students were snared by the nets and lifted off, carried by the saucer, which was joined by the others in short order with more captured people, flying over the waterfront.
[End Sentai footage]
"That's not good," Jake said.
"Phantom, we lost them," Gia told him, "Any idea where they went?"
"I'm tracking them," he responded, "I'll give the location to all of you. Meet up there and stop whatever the Empire is plotting. Save those innocent people!"
"Will do," Gia said, looking at Jake, "We can't fail."
He wasn't sure how to take that, so he just nodded, "Yeah, of course."
Troy, Emma and Noah had gotten the message about what was going on, and were waiting, but they weren't getting any information.
"Noah," the Phantom Ranger addressed, "I have need of you."
"Of me?" Noah asked.
"My sensor array isn't working properly, and I cannot fix it alone. I need your help."
"Um…sure," Noah said. He guessed he was the most qualified. Machinery and the like was his forte over Gia, who was his equal in education and school materials, not this sort of thing.
In a flash of blue, Noah was gone, teleported away from his two friends and back to the cave that the Phantom Ranger had made their base.
"Work from your module," he told Noah.
Noah nodded and moved to the blue station. He began to work through the systems the Phantom Ranger had installed, finding the sensor array. He began to work through it, trying to find the problem and reroute it so it would pick up their enemy for them.
But he stopped when something popped up. They were animal machines. They looked reminiscent of the attachments the team had summoned in their fight for their sidearms.
"What are these?" he asked the Phantom Ranger.
"Your Zords," he responded, "They are survivors of a planet that fell to the Vago Empire on their way to Earth. Only a few of the natives escaped and managed to find asylum here in secrecy. I discovered them and brought them to our side after the war.
"They're sentient, but their sentience lies in their heads, which allows them to take on a small form and aid you on your sidearms, or to enlarge and combine with the rest of their body to become Zords. They were powerful beasts of the stars, acting as guardians for their planet and other planets which needed protection and help.
"Together, your five Zords, these five survivors, form the Star Guard Megazord. I hope that they will protect the Earth as fiercely as they protected their own world."
As Noah listened, he found the signal, "Ok, got it," he said, drawing up his Morpher, "The waterfront. They're on the beach." He typed on his panel, "Teleporting in five…"
He looked at the Phantom Ranger, "Tell me more," he said. He wasn't a fighter, knowledge was his forte. Sentient machines? He wanted to know more, he wanted to understand them so when the time came that they would be needed, he'd know what they were doing.
This was his contribution.
[Goseiger 2. 6:52-6:56]
The five saucers converged and combined into a whole figure once again.
[Goseiger 2. 6:57-7:25 (note: jump cut once more to cut out Nozomu close-up)]
He stood before one of the nets of humans, watching them struggle. "You'll soon be in space, under the needle. We'll know your ins and outs, and then your planet shall fall." As he boasted an energy beam struck him in the shoulder.
"You're not going to be taken them anywhere!" Jake told him, landing with his sidearm in hand, the miniature Zord attached. "Snake Venom!"
Gia, crouched beside him, fired as well, "Tiger Fang!"
Yuffo stood his ground, lowering himself to catch the shots on his shell, deflecting them aside.
"It'll take more than that," he said as he rose to his full height. He gestured his arm out, "I should take you too!"
"Take us?" Jake questioned.
"I am Yuffo, and science is my specialty," he told them, making gestures and a sort of bow, "You people are next in my lab. Then you Rangers will have no chance!"
"We won't let you take these people!" Gia shouted at him. "We'll stop you!" Both of them took aim again.
[End Sentai footage]
The people in the nets were thrashing about, calling for help. Some were sticking their arms through the openings, trying to get the attention of the Rangers.
[Goseiger 2. 7:28-7:37]
Jake looked over at the netted people, "We'll save you!"
"Don't worry!" Gia added.
"Stingers!" Yuffo called, summoning up green lumps around him which took the forms of the Stinger soldiers. They ran past him, towards the two Rangers.
Jake and Gia looked at each other, lifted their weapons, and rushed in.
[End Sentai footage]
Troy and Emma were watching from an outcropping above. "Is it time yet?" Emma asked.
"Not yet," Troy said, "His guard is still up…"
[Goseiger 2. 7:49-7:52]
Gia used her claw, fighting beside boats and taking down Stingers.
[Goseiger 2. 7:55-8:01]
She lifted her Morpher and began to speak into it, "Guys, you ready yet?" She proceeded to duck a strike, while Jake was using his axe on a dock, fighting from a downed position and then knocking some into the water.
[End Sentai footage]
"Not yet," Troy responded, "Sorry. But his shell is too strong."
Emma leaned over, "We're still looking for that opening."
[Goseiger 2. 8:15-8:34]
Soon the two Rangers were surrounded by Stingers as they fought on a rockier part of the waterfront. They went back-to-back while Yuffo approached.
"Keep them in one piece," he stated. He turned and looked up in surprise.
"Dragon Flame!" Troy shouted, having leapt in, firing his personal charged shot, taking out a few Stingers with multiple shots.
He flipped, landing beside the others. He went into battle, throwing in spins and kicks, "Felt sorry," he said quickly to explain himself.
"You should feel sorry for joining a losing battle!" Yuffo shouted, lowering his back and firing a few bolts of energy from his shell.
The three Rangers were blasted to the ground while the Stingers around them remained unharmed.
[Goseiger 2. 8:36-8:56]
"Phoenix Blaze!"
As Yuffo approached, a pink charged shot struck in front of him, and then a few more hit him directly in the chest, blasting him back. They looked up, seeing Emma had Morphed and was standing her ground on one of the hills.
"There it was," she said, jumping down to join the others, helping Troy up.
Jake and Gia began to fight off the Stingers around them, the two Sky Rangers joining in.
"Where's Noah?" Gia questioned, looking at Emma.
"He'll be here soon," she said, "He's learning about our Zords."
"Zords?" each one of them questioned, turning to Emma.
"He said that he's better off learning about them than fighting, so that our other fights will be easier." She lowered her weapon and went back to the battle.
[End Sentai footage]
Noah looked up at the Phantom Ranger. "Is that everything?" he asked.
"For now," the Phantom Ranger answered, "You and the others will be able to use these Zords very effectively with what I have just taught you. Teach them, and you shall not fall. You may stumble, but you shall always rise."
"Reminds me of Jake…," Noah said to himself. "Can you teleport me?"
"Give me a moment," the Phantom Ranger responded. In a few seconds Noah began to glow blue, and he was gone.
[Goseiger 2. 9:24-9:38]
Troy swung his Dragon Sword up and slashed through some Stingers while the other Rangers fought around him, using their personal weapons as well for melee attacks.
Yuffo shook his head a little, "Keep fighting, I'll just take these others and go…"
He unleashed more blasts from his shell towards the Rangers, blasting them all aside in the explosions. They all hit the ground, feeling real pain, feeling the real danger around them.
[Goseiger 2. 9:41-9:53]
Yuffo walked before them, looking at them, "Time to go."
Jake tried to rise, but fell. The others couldn't do much more. Yuffo started to crouch, preparing to break apart for the sake of transporting the humans, when someone yelled.
"Stop!"
[End Sentai footage]
Noah was running down the beach, drawing his Morpher into hand as he rushed towards his allies. He drew his Morph Card up and into the slot. "Mega Morph!" he called as he slammed down the mouth, transforming in a flash of blue as he joined his allies.
"Good timing," Gia told him.
Jake lifted his Snake Axe, "We'll try to make an opening."
[Goseiger 2. 10:12-10:17]
"Stingers! Go!" Yuffo shouted.
The Stingers surrounded him, and then raced for Jake and Gia, who started to cut through them with their weapons without much difficulty.
[Goseiger 2. 10:26-10:28]
"Here!" Yuffo shouted, unleashing another round of his attacks at the Rangers. Emma looked at Noah, who'd yet to take the attack, wondering if he could brace himself for it.
It moved past the Black and Yellow Rangers, right for the other three.
[End Sentai Footage]
The three Rangers hit the ground as explosions tore around them on the rocky surface.
[Goseiger 2. 10:32-10:35]
Jake and Gia continued to fight, but looked like they were being overwhelmed.
[Goseiger 2. 10:39-10:41]
Emma and Troy ran in to help them. The two Earth Rangers were on the ground now, desperately needing the assistance. Troy helped Jake up while Emma helped Gia.
[End Sentai footage]
Noah didn't race that way. He ran around the fight, heading as fast as he could towards the nets. He began to tear them open, finding his strength enhanced by his Ranger suit.
"Go," he told them as they climbed out of the hole he made. He went on to another net, "Run away from here, keep clear."
"Thank you," one woman told him, grabbing his arm.
He nodded, "We're Power Rangers. This is our duty."
[Goseiger 2. 10:54-11:13]
The four Rangers finished off the Stingers. All of them exploded around them while Yuffo lowered himself, firing out projectiles designed like his shell for the team.
The four Rangers blocked with their weapons, but their defenses were soon broken and they were knocked to the ground, writhing in pain as Yuffo laughed.
"In that condition you guys can come too!" he laughed.
The Rangers struggled to rise, unable to stand on their own. But their voices rang out.
"We won't let you take them!" they yelled as one.
[Goseiger 2: 11:36-11:52]
Noah leapt into the battle with his Shark Bowgun in hand, now that the people were safe. He opened fire, striking Yuffo in the chest multiple times, knocking him on his back.
He stood in front of the downed Rangers, who were now rising with the arrival of their teammate.
"Sorry for the wait," he said.
"It's fine," Jake said, walking in front of him and pushing him on the shoulder a bit, "You saved the people."
The girls walked behind him, "Thanks for the save," Emma said.
"Now we need to finish him," Gia said.
Troy looked at Noah, "We're a team. Let's do it like last time!"
The team came into a line, just like last time.
[Goseiger 2. 12:43-13:16]
They drew their weapons back as Yuffo rose again, shouting at them, "You let my specimens go!"
He unleashed a series of projectiles from himself again, sending them towards the team.
The Rangers leapt through the explosion, apparently unharmed by Yuffo's assault. "What?" he shouted, bracing himself.
Troy and Jake came down, slashing him, followed by Gia and Emma. Emma shot while Gia slashed, sending him farther back.
Then came Noah, forgoing using his weapon. He grabbed Yuffo and pulled him with him into the water, into his domain.
Yuffo struggled, but Noah had no problems. He shouted at Yuffo, "Those aren't your specimens! Those are the people of Earth!"
He pushed Yuffo forward and swung his weapon up, "Take this!" he shouted, unleashing his arrow blast, using multiple shots to shoot Yuffo back to the surface. He leapt out after the monster, landing away from the downed alien.
[Goseiger 2. 13:19-14:17]
Noah looked to the hills as the others came around behind him.
"Noah?" Troy asked.
Noah lifted his Morpher, "Phantom Ranger, are the people safe?"
"They fled the scene," the Ranger mentor responded.
"Thanks," he said, putting his Morpher away and lifting his weapon with the others.
They combined their weapons into the Megaforce Blazer. Yuffo stumbled back, "What is this?"
The team loaded their elemental cards into place and took aim.
"No, please!" Yuffo almost begged.
"Mega Dynamic!" they shouted, throwing their arms out, "Ha!"
The elemental emblems of each one of them flew out, combining into a singular blast. It struck Yuffo, bringing him down. He exploded before them, Troy and the others turning around, but only Troy holding the cannon.
[Goseiger 2. 14:25-15:46]
The team turned and looked up towards the hills.
"We saved all of them again," Troy said.
"I just hope we can continue to," Noah said.
"Hey!" Yuffo shouted, rising, sparking. He wasn't gone yet.
On the ship in space, Vrak snapped his fingers, sending down a series of one-eyed black bats.
The bats latched onto Yuffo immediately. They enlarged him to giant size, stunning the Rangers for a few moments.
Yuffo shouted, bringing his fist down at them. The team evaded by rushing to the side, just barely getting out of the way in time.
"I'll have no trouble at this size!" Yuffo shouted.
"Sorry to disappoint," Noah told him.
"The Zords?" Jake asked.
Gia was at his side, "Alright, let's do that then."
Yuffo unleashed a blast of energy from his eyes, but it just missed the Rangers. The shockwaves still sent them stumbling, however.
"We won't allow you to harm anyone else!" Emma said.
"That's right!" Troy shouted. His belt began to glow, along with the rest of the team.
They each drew a new card out, which eventually showed their personal Zords on it. Troy thrust his card forward, "Let's call them!"
He looked down at his Morpher, and then brought it to bear with the others, mouth open. They inserted the cards and drew them around, closing the mouths and thrusting the Morphers forward.
[Goseiger 2. 15:57-21:50]
In the sky, the heads of the Dragon and Phoenix Zords flew, latching onto an airplane and jet respectively, flying off as now-whole Zords.
The Snake Zord head latched onto a train to become whole, while the Tiger latched onto a bulldozer, driving off ahead.
The Shark Zord attached itself to a submarine to complete itself, then shot off to join the others.
Yuffo was ready to attack when he was blindsided by attacks from the Zords. The Rangers looked as their Zords finally arrived, with Noah stepping forward and talking, "These are the guardians of other planets. They now guard us, and the Earth."
"Let's go!" Troy said, and each leapt into their own Zord, loading their Morpher into their control system.
The Zords attempted to converge on Yuffo, who released more of his saucer copies, but larger this time. The Zords each engaged the copies in their own elements.
Troy had no difficulty evading shots, but Emma couldn't shake hers. "Hold on," he told her, flying through the smokescreen and shots they fired. He breathed fire back, taking some of them out.
He saw Emma below, still with enemies on her tail.
She was rammed from behind and drove down into a tunnel, the enemies still behind her.
"I've got them," Troy told her, "Just pull up when you're out."
"Got it partner," she said.
She flew up for the sun as soon as she was out, but she was also blinded. Troy came out of the sun, "Keep coming!"
"Ok."
"Now!"
Troy unleashed a series of missiles from his Dragon Zord, taking them down and skimming the water with Emma.
The Shark Zord leapt out of the water behind them before diving back down, "You're in my domain," Noah told the two ahead of him, "Or his domain, rather," he referred to his Zord.
He kept an eye on his screen; locking on, "Go!"
Missiles flew from his Zord, smashing into two of them, "Good job," he told his Zord, before another came crashing in front of them, disorienting them. Noah banked up, shooting it out of the water and biting it to destroy it.
On the land next to him a few came rolling forward, pursued by Gia's Zord. She was beside Jake, who looked at her Zord, "Together?"
"Fine," she said.
The two worked in tandem, Jake intercepting and bouncing them off to send them Gia's way. She bit and sent them flying to destroy them.
"Good move," Jake said.
The two flying Zords came in above them, firing energy bolts at the remaining few. The rest of the Zords came together as one of the saucers reformed into Yuffo, standing before them.
Troy threw his arm forward, "Time to combine!" he said, "Noah?"
The others nodded in agreement. Troy reached down for his belt as Noah told him to, "There's a card. We need that."
Troy drew a card from his belt, showing the combined Megazord. Each of them had it in hand and slotted it.
Troy lowered his Dragon while Jake and Gia drove beside each other. Jake gave a thumb's up and put half of his Zord into Gia's, forming the lower body, their Zords being the legs.
The Dragon took grip of the base, while the Phoenix and Shark became the arms. A new head came up, and the Dragon's tail was mounted on the back as a sword.
"Star Guard Megazord!" Noah announced.
Beams of light teleported each Ranger to the combined cockpit, where they sat at their own controls.
Jake looked around, "Pretty awesome cockpit."
Noah looked around, "Hard to believe this is sentient…"
Emma clasped her hands together, "This is great!"
Gia was excited, grabbing her controls quickly, "Let's just take him out!"
Troy drew his clenched fist up, "Right! Let's go!"
The Megzord moved forward to engage the enemy, moving between mountains. Energy beams came from Yuffo, but they pushed past.
"Sword!" Troy yelled, the Megazord drawing the blade. They engaged swipes with Yuffo. Some were clean, some were blocked. It wasn't going well.
"Head attack!" Troy yelled.
The Megazord stepped back, punching and kicking the Zord heads off while the Dragon head came off the chest. They shot forward for Yuffo.
"Punch!" Noah and Emma yelled, throwing their controls forward as if they were punching. The heads reacted in kind, punching as the Megazord mimicked.
"Kick!" Gia and Jake yelled, doing the same, the Megazord imitating.
The heads attacked, the Dragon breathing fire while the others struck. They returned to the Megazord, which shot into the sky, drawing the blade again.
The Rangers each drew cards, "This will end it," Noah told them.
They loaded the cards and thrust their Morphers closed as one, stating their attack name.
"Victory Slash!"
The sword lit ablaze on the outside, while inside each Ranger was making a gesture, sweeping their arms across their chests, throwing their open palm out, then turning it into a fist and drawing it down.
"You won't be harming any innocents, Yuffo! Nor your Empire! Ha!"
A card for each Zord appeared, blasting Yuffo to pin him down. The Megazord flew forward, slashing Yuffo while he was stuck, and then flew away from his exploding body.
Inside the cockpit the Rangers were rising in celebration, throwing arms up or doing other celebratory movements.
"We won!" Troy announced, "Rangers united!"
The Star Guard looked back down at the sight of its first victory on Earth, and they couldn't help but wonder if the guardian felt joy.
[End Sentai footage]
"Noah, can you help me study, please?" Jake asked as the group walked together.
"You turned to him?" Gia asked, "I thought I was your partner."
"Don't tease him," Emma told her. Gia just gave a slight smile.
"Hey," Jake said, "He learned about the Zords, he helped us win today with them. If he learned about alien machinery that fast, and knowing how smart he is anyway, he seems better. No offense Gia. Just for this."
"Oh, I'm hurt," she said in a sarcastic tone.
"Fine," Noah said, "But you owe me."
"Yeah, fine," Jake said, "What, you want my axe?" he joked.
"I'd keep my sword any day," Troy commented. "Can't fence with an axe."
"But you can chop," Jake told him.
Troy shook his head and walked off ahead, "I have fencing practice to get to. Later."
They watched him go before Emma parted ways as well, "I promised I'd show some students around the woods."
Gia left then, giving no reason, leaving Jake and Noah alone.
"That was really impressive, though," Jake told Noah. "All of it."
"Thanks," Noah said, "I wasn't sure if we'd be able to get him for a bit. That shell of his…"
"But we didn't fail," Jake said, "Your weapon was able to get through him easy."
"Yeah, I just don't want to see a monster that can stand it," Noah said as a partial joke.
"Well, where finesse fails there's always brute force," Jake told him.
"I guess so," Noah said, "So, studying."
"Right," Jake said, "I really need the help. Mostly to keep me on track."
"Right," Noah said, heading off with his friend, "I'm not going to let you fail. We won one today; let's make it two."
"Yeah. We're Rangers now," Jake said, showing some maturity this time, "We can't be failing in anything."
