Kevin felt he had been on stupid missions before, but this was starting to get ridiculous. He had no idea where he and Mia were supposed to go, and the turtle Zord just seemed to be flying around in circles, enjoying a walk outside of the Shiba grounds. They hadn't seen any sign of the Wind Stone since they headed out.

"This is stupid," Mia muttered. She was just as frustrated as Kevin at this point. All she wanted was to go home and rest. She didn't care if she had the stone or not. "Why do the red Rangers always have to make things complicated?"

"Life's too easy otherwise?" Kevin suggested with a shrug. "I just wish we hadn't found my stone by accident. I really wish I could help you sense it or… something."

Mia nodded her head but turned to the turtle Zord, "You have no idea where it is, do you?"

The turtle Zord squealed and soared upwards. Mia looked up to the sky, hoping there would be a stone floating right over her head. She was sadly mistaken. There was nothing but sky above her. She looked back down and locked eyes with Kevin.

"This sucks."

"I'll say," he pulled out his Samuraizer from his pocket, "Any information, guys?"

"Nothing, sorry," came Antonio's reply. "Keep looking. The Black Box needs all five stones."

"Until we find out more about the Stones' hiding places, trust your instincts. Our ancestors hid them so we should be able to find them," Jayden added.

"My instincts are telling me to go home and have a hot bath," Mia muttered. "In case you all forgot, if my Stone likes the air and wind, it could be anywhere on the planet. It could be over the ocean for all we know."

"Keep looking, Mia," Emily said. "Apparently Mentor Ji's got a friend who does relic hunting for a living. If the Stone is anywhere on Earth, we'll find it."

"Mentor's got a lot of friends," Kevin sighed before pointing to a trail that led up a mountain. "Why don't we try getting off ground level for a little bit? If the Stone prefers the sky we might have a better chance in the air. If it's on the ground, we'll have a better view of our surroundings."

Mia smiled and nodded her head, "Good idea."

They set off down the path, keeping their eyes peeled for anything suspicious. A hole in the mountain or an old run down structure of any kind was worth examining.

"At least we know one thing for sure about this Stone," Kevin smirked. "It'll be a pink. I don't know about you, but I don't see many pink Stones lying around.

"It'll stand out, all right," Mia nodded her head. The turtle Zord, tired of flying around freely, landed on her shoulder and folded itself up. She took her Zord in her hand so she wouldn't lose it, "But that doesn't seem to make it easier to find."

"Maybe we should try fishing again?" Kevin suggested. "Your Stone could be in an old boot like mine."

"At least we're not diving underwater again," Mia said. "That's an experience I don't ever want to repeat. I don't care how much gold or hidden treasures are down there. They can stay there."

"You would make a horrible pirate," Kevin chuckled. He stopped when the trail came to an end but that wasn't going to be the end of his or Mia's journey's. He looked at the rock wall and saw it was just rocky and solid enough for him and Mia to climb up to the ledge a couple of meters up. He turned to his fiancée with a smile and gestured to the wall. "Can you climb?"

"We'll see," Mia said. Kevin let her go up first, this way he could catch her if she lost her grip and fell. The climb wouldn't be too high, but neither of them could risk getting hurt.

Halfway up they both heard a beeping coming from their pockets. Mia stopped and looked down at Kevin. He signalled for her to continue climbing while he locked himself into position, made sure his footing was solid, and then, with one hand, he reached for his Samuraizer.

"Uh, guys…"

"Keep looking," Jayden instructed. "It's just one Nighlok and a few Moogers. The four of us should be able to handle it."

"Call if you need us," Kevin tucked his Samuraizer away safely and grabbed onto the rock wall. He needed to reposition himself before he could continue to climb up. He glanced up at the ledge and saw Mia was pulling herself over.

"Look around;" he told her, "I'm right behind you."

He climbed his way to the top and was about to pull himself up when the rock he had his right foot on suddenly gave out and fell from under him. Kevin slipped and knew he was about to fall, but before he could even think of screaming he felt someone grabbing his hand. He smiled up at Mia as she helped him up to the ledge.

"Thanks."

"No problem," Mia said. "It almost happened to me."

The two got to their feet and had a look around. The ledge didn't lead to any interesting paths. It barely went anywhere, but there was a fissure in the side of the mountain that was worth examining.

"Hopefully Jayden packed a flashlight," Kevin muttered as Mia slipped her way into the crack and found herself in a cave inside the mountain. Kevin was right behind her. While Mia looked around in awe, Kevin searched his bag for a flashlight. He dug one out, thankful Jayden had thought of it. When he turned it on, he scared a cloud of bats, causing them to screech and fly further into the cave.

Mia shot Kevin an angry look once her heartbeat began to slow back to a regular pace.

"Good job."

"Sorry," Kevin chuckled, "but this is a good thing. They came from somewhere. We should follow them."

The cave was dark, even with the beam from Kevin's flashlight, and it was strangely quiet. Drop of water falling from the top of the cave echoed, but there was nothing more than that. Mia was very careful to watch her step, unsure of where she was stepping and if the ground was even solid.

"Careful," Kevin told her and she saw him holding out his hand for her to take. She grabbed it and he led her around a spot on the floor. Mia didn't know why, but if Kevin didn't want her stepping on it, he must have had a reason. She wouldn't question it.

"If we don't find my Stone, there better be something valuable at the end of this hike," she said. "Gold, jewel, I don't care."

"If we find something valuable we can sell it and get some money for the wedding," Kevin smirked, casting a quick glance at Mia. She smiled back.

"Mentor would have to let us sell it," she chuckled, "but it's a nice thought."

"Speaking of weddings, any ideas for ours?" Kevin asked, stopping Mia dead in her tracks. He turned to look at her and saw she was staring at him. When she rolled her eyes he chuckled, "Right, never mind."

"For a minute there I thought you didn't know me," Mia laughed. "I've always dreamed of a small wedding."

"A small wedding?"

Mia nodded her head, "Yeah. Close friends and family. People I know and people who actually care about me. I've already got enough money saved up for something small."

"You have enough money for a wedding already?"

"I worked like all teenagers, but grandma and I knew I wouldn't have time for college with my Samurai duties. Instead, we decided the money I earned would one day be used for my dream wedding."

"Well, that's one thing covered then," Kevin said. "I've got some money saved up as well. It's got nowhere to go. We may as well use it."

"It's probably a silly question, but have you ever thought of your wedding?"

Kevin shrugged his shoulders, "It's never really crossed my mind. I think I like the idea of a small wedding, though. My parents, the Rangers, your family… oh…"

"What?"

"I… sorry."

"For what?"

Kevin shrugged his shoulders, "You probably don't want your parents at your wedding, do you?"

Mia nodded her head, "Kev, they're my parents. If they can make it, I want them there."

"Makes sense," Kevin said. "How's it going to work now though; with your dad across the country with his new girlfriend?"

"I guess I'll send him an invite with a plus one and we'll see what happens," Mia shrugged her shoulders. "I hope he'll be able to make it. You know I don't hate him but… I didn't see him off..."

"He's your dad. I'm sure he'll do everything he can to make it. And if it's the cost of flying back here for a wedding I'm sure we'll find some way to get the money. If you want him there, he'll be there, I promise."

"Thanks, Kevin," Mia leaned forward and gave her fiancé a peck on the cheek. Kevin smiled back at her and took her hand again.

"Just one question: are he and your mom civil around each other?"

"As far as I know, yeah," Mia nodded her head. "I'm sure we won't have to worry about them."

"Good," Kevin pointed the flashlight far ahead so he knew what he and Mia were going to walk into. It didn't seem like they were anywhere near an exit but he felt like he was walking uphill slightly. If the Wind Stone was hiding somewhere in the skies it wouldn't hurt to go up as high as possible.

He spotted a puddle of water and guided Mia around it. He wasn't sure how deep the puddle was and he didn't want to test it by twisting an ankle. The more cautious he could be the better.

"Okay," Mia spot after several moments of silence, "I can't stand the quiet. Do you have any ideas for the wedding?"

"Not really," Kevin shrugged. "As long as I'm getting married to you nothing else matters."

"Are you just saying that or do you really mean it?"

"I mean it. I never put much thought into my wedding. Whenever the thought did arise I just imagined standing next to my bride."

"Who do you plan on inviting?"

"My parents, obviously," Kevin chuckled. "A few of the guys from my high school swim team."

"You still talk with them?"

"Before the Samurai business, yeah. We were close. They're probably wondering where I am."

"A lot of people are probably missing us," Mia nodded her head. "My neighbours think I went off to college but they must be wondering why I'm not home with grandma for the summer. We'll have some fast talking to do when we get home."

"Maybe," Kevin said. He spotted a little light coming from the top of the cave and made his way over. He looked up and saw an opening. He knew he and Mia would be able to climb up and get out of the cave, but he wanted to make sure it was worth it. If it was just going to lead to a dead end there was no sense wasting their energy.

He handed the flashlight to Mia and told her he was going to climb to the top to investigate the opening. Mia nodded her head and watched as he climbed the rocks, slowly making his way up.

Her heart stopped when Kevin's foot slipped and a few rocks slid down the side of the wall, but Kevin caught himself before he fell. He looked down and sighed loudly.

"That was close. Where's Emily when you need her, huh?"

"Yeah," Mia nodded, "be careful Kevin. Take your…"

Mia trailed off when she felt her folding Zord moving around in her pocket. She furrowed her brow and watched the little turtle jump out and soar her way to the opening. Kevin watched as well, curious as to where the turtle was going to at this speed. He reached over to the opening and pulled himself up. His eyes widened.

"Uh, Mia… you're going to want to check this out."

"I'll be right up," Mia said. She tucked the flashlight away safely in her pocket and started her climb up. When Kevin could reach her he grabbed her and made sure she wouldn't fall as she climbed up to the opening.

"Careful…" he said, wrapping his arms around her as she got closer to him. When Mia was steady she looked over. Her eyes were just as wide as Kevin's when she saw an old stone temple sitting on the mountain side, protected from the elements and hidden from sight by the mountains around it.

She climbed down from the opening in the cave and when her feet hit the ground she began to approach the temple. There wasn't too much ground to walk on and when Mia looked down she realised just how high up she and Kevin actually were.

"Okay, there's something important there," she glanced over her shoulder at Kevin who was only a few steps behind her. He looked down, over the side of the mountain and gulped.

"If one of us falls, we're screwed."

"Don't fall, then," Mia said. She pressed herself against the side of the mountain so she wouldn't slip off the narrow ground under her feet and pulled out her Samuraizer, "Mentor, we may have found the Wind Stone."

"Good. Did you run into any trouble?"

"None yet," Mia answered. "Kevin scared a few bats, but it's been smooth sailing the entire way."

"And I'd like to keep it that way. Get the stone and hurry back."

"I'd rather not hurry, Mentor," Mia looked over the side of the mountain, "but we'll be home soon."

As Mia tucked her Samuraizer away the turtle Zord whizzed by her head. She was clearly excited about something, allowing Mia to believe they were getting close to the Wind Stone. She inched her way closer to the temple where she was sure the ground wouldn't give out. She made it to the temple and hurried up the stairs. Kevin was far behind her, but she couldn't afford to wait for him.

Kevin had the same idea. He wasn't going to risk making his way over to the temple when Mia was already across. He made his way back to the opening of the cave and waited for her there.

"Do you see anything?" he called out and heard his voice echoing off the other mountains around him.

Inside the temple Mia was surprised to find nothing but a big room with a chest in the middle. The turtle Zord flew over to the chest and danced around it happily. Mia noticed there was no lock and opened the chest.

"Thank goodness," Mia sighed happily when she saw a pink stone sitting in the chest. When she touched it, she saw the inside of the stone began to fog up, as if there were clouds inside. Positive this was what she was looking for, she gripped it tightly and turned back to leave.

As she rushed down the stairs she turned to her turtle Zord, "Do you know how lucky we are to have found this?"

The turtle nodded its head before shooting over to Kevin's side of the mountain and landing in his hand. Kevin saw Mia starting to make her way back and his stomach turned. She made it across safely the first time. He could only hope she could do the same on the way back.

"Careful, Mia," he told her and bit down on his lower lip as he watched her move slowly. Rocks were falling under her feet, but Mia was holding on tight. "C'mon, you're almost there… a few more… MIA!"

Her foot had slipped as the ground gave out from under her. Mia's only saving grace was the fact that she had a firm hold on the rock wall with her hands, keeping her from plummeting to her death. That didn't keep her from hurting herself, though. She could feel the rock digging into her palm as she held on for dear life.

"Hold on!" Kevin told her, throwing off his bag. Mia was too busy hanging on for dear life to respond with a sarcastic comment. She was trying to find a hole in the wall or another rock to set her feet on before her hands slipped.

Kevin searched through the bag in a panic. Surely if Jayden had thought to pack a flashlight he would have packed a rope as well. Sadly, that was the very first thing Jayden thought to pack so the rope was stuffed all the way in the bottom of the bag.

"Mia!" Kevin called for her while tying a loop at one end of the rope, "Catch the rope!"

"With what hands?" Mia snapped.

"Just trust me, Mia," Kevin called before throwing the rope to his fiancée, hoping his shot was accurate. When Mia saw the rope coming for her she let go with one hand to reach for it. Unfortunately, her other hand couldn't hold up all her weight and it slipped off. The last thing Kevin saw before closing his eyes was Mia falling down the side of the mountain.
