Who's Side Are You In?
Emily slowly woke. Her head was in pain, but she couldn't remember where she got it. She hated not remembering. She hated feeling like something was missing. She looked around and saw Jayden asleep next to her, and Mike was sleeping on the bed next to them. She frowned and got up. Her body was sore, but it didn't stop her. Everything was weird. She decided to go get some breakfast.
She was sitting with a bowl of cereal in front on her. She tried to remember what had happened after they went through the portal. She remembered landing in a fountain with Jayden. A group of six appeared out of nowhere and attacked them. Majority of it was hazy but she did notice they were wearing their colors; their ranger colors.
She slowly got up. She looked up to see Mike and Mia enter the room. She smiled at them. "Want to train?"
Mike looked at Mia and then nodded. There was a small glint in his eyes that Emily didn't notice. She walked to the dojo and stretched, to get rid of the soreness.
"So how is it going to be? Free-for-all or three-on-one?" Emily asked, looking at the other two rangers.
"Free-for-all," Mike answered, as he got the katanas. He handed one to Mia and tossed Emily hers.
*Altered Rangers*
Emily landed on her back hard. She groaned, as she looked at Mike and Mia. They hadn't even broken sweat. She felt like they were teaming up on her. They were being really harsh, and it sort of scared her. She wasn't used to it. She had just gotten out of the hospital and had been injured.
Mia charged at her. Emily's eyes widened, as she tried to move out of the way. She hissed in pain, Mike had slammed the katana stick on her stomach and it left a bruise. She closed her eyes, waiting for the impact.
She opened them when she felt nothing; In front of her was Jayden. He had stopped the impact, and was glaring at the two. Behind him were Mia and Mike.
"How hard did I hit my head?" she asked her boyfriend. "I'm seeing doubles."
"No, you're not. Emily, Mike sent us to another dimension. Those are the opposites," Jayden explained, as he knelt down in front of Emily.
"What? You're my Jayden, right?" Emily questioned.
He laughed, as eh helped her up. "Yeah, and you're my Emily."
She walked into his arms, as she kissed his cheek. "I missed you."
"I missed you too. I wish I could have visited you, but I was trying to find a way to get us home," Jayden told her.
Emily nodded, in shock. She frowned, She pulled away and watched as Mia and Mike, or their clones walk away. She thought about the training session she just had. They had tried to hurt her, and that sucked. They tried to hurt her bad. But she was confused. She wondered why, why they wanted to attack her.
*Altered Rangers*
Michael walked to his leader, a smile on his face. He closed the door after he entered.
"Hey," he whispered, as he stared at Emily stand up, a smirk in her face.
Emily walked up to him, watching him. She laughed when she walked around him once.
"I like it rough," she whispered, feeling his lips on her. She was with Jay, kind of. She just loved hooking up with Michael. Michael had all types of anger inside himself that he took out on her when they hooked up. She loved it.
Laughing, she pulled his shirt and pulled him to her. She pulled him to her bed. "Did it work?" She whispered.
"Almost. Jayden had to interfere. Are you sure about this?" Michael asked, as he took off his shirt.
Emily growled, digging her nail on her. "I'll work on that. We have to keep them here. We can take their powers. We just have to."
"What do you have in mind?"
Emily didn't answer. She just smiled and continued what she was doing.
*Altered Rangers*
Jay was watching both groups interact. There was something there, it was not good. He frowned, thinking about how it got to that place.
When Emily had found out about her mother, it all went down hill. She turned on them, she got Michael on her side, then one by one, they all became who they were. Jay didn't want to lose her, he didn't want her to go away. He knew it was wrong. I was so wrong, but he couldn't let her get away.
But the others got him back. They got her back, alive, and good. He tried to think about what had made it better for them.
He knew the answer. The answer was always there. It was Emily. His Emily let all the bad in. She didn't deal with anything that had happened to her. She let all the bad define her, but the other Emily didn't. That Emily fought against all the bad. She fought towards the light. She fought for the good.
That is the difference. That is what made everything different. He wondered if Emily would help him get his team back. If he could get his team to be good again.
"Is this spot taken?" someone asked. He looked up and saw Em standing there, smiling.
Jay smiled and patted the spot next to him.
"So I heard you're me," Em told him, looking at him with bright eyes.
"I guess I am. I'm sorry if the team is cold. It's who we are," Jay responded, as she looked at the others train.
"It's okay, you know. You're not who we are. You're you. You guys act your way. But I have a question. What's up with your Mia and Mike?"
"What do you mean?"
"We were training, and they were a little harsh. We'll not little, big one."
Jay's smile fell off his face. "I'm sorry. I don't know what to say to explain it."
Em shrugged. "It's okay. I just hope that doesn't happen again."
Jay nodded, not answering. He didn't know what the others were planning, but he needed to find out to help the other rangers. He just had too.
