Chapter 4: It's Time
Antonio's Pov
The sun was just beginning to appear on the skyline when I had realized that I had been training all night. I finally noticed how tired and sore my muscles were and decided that I needed to rest, even though I knew that there was so much more practice to be done. But even with the Red Rangers samuraizer I still didn't have the strength and power that a true Red Ranger would have. I would never tell anyone but I am very scared for today, there is so much riding on my shoulders: Jayden, my team, the mission and my life. Today is the first day that I felt that I wouldn't make it back.
I know I need some rest but there is something I have to do first. Quietly I crept through the house so not to wake the others and made my way towards Jayden's room where I could hear muffled voices coming from behind closed doors. I crept the door open to hear my fiance and future sister in law discussing my training and up and coming battle with Deker.
"How is he doing out there?"
"He's been training all night. I have never seen anyone train this much, that includes me"
"It's because he's trying to protect me. He hates that I always put him over myself and this is his chance to prove that he can protect us both but he doesn't need to. I'm the leader, I'm suppose to protect my team"
"There's also the fact that he stopped our wedding" I stated as I made myself known and walked in, sitting next to Jayden and grabbing his free hand.
"How are you feeling?"
"Honestly, I've never felt so weak. But right now I'm more worried about you. I still don't like that you'll be fighting Deker"
"Jayden he will be fine. If there is one thing I've learned about Antonio since coming here is that he is very determined, especially when it comes to you" Lauren said. I smiled, happy that I would her as a sister in law.
"Thanks sis"
"You're welcome, now I'm going to leave you too alone" With that she walked out and it was just us, which is good because there are some things that we need to talk about.
"Jayden, do you trust me?" His eyes widened, this was a new sight because I have never seen his shocked before.
"Of course I trust you. Where is this coming from?"
"I overheard you talking to Lauren. You said I didn't need to prove that I could protect you because you are suppose to protect us. So I need to know if you said that because you don't think I can"
"Antonio I know that you can protect me and yourself, I just don't like seeing you get hurt. I would rather take any attack than see it hit you"
"But I hate that Jayden. We are going to be a team soon, husbands. We take care of each other, not just you taking care of the both of us. I am going to fight and I wil get hurt but I will make it through just so I can be with you"
"Just when it comes to you" I leaned in and kissed him, his lips feeling warm to the touch because of his fever. So I removed the cloth from his head and replaced it with a fresh, cold one and he sighed with relief.
"Now we both need to rest. I've been training all night and you're sick" He nodded and we both settled down to sleep, keeping our hands intertwined.
6 Hours Later
I was awakened with a shake of my shoulder and a calm voice calling out my name, it was Mentor. Seeing his face I noticed some emotion that he never showed: fear.
"It's time" I nodded and untangled my hand from Jayden's who started to stir. I leaned in and kissed him cheek which calmed him down. Turning around I walked out with Ji and entered the livingroom where the other rangers were waiting for me, grim looks on their faces.
"Guys can you please not look like we're about to go to my funeral?" I asked. I'm already fearful for myself I don't need them to be scared for me too. Two sets of arms suddenly wrapped themselves around me, it was Mia and Emily.
"We're just worried about you Antonio. You're our friend" Emily said and the others nodded.
"Thanks mi amigos. But right now all I care about is getting that antidote for Jayden. So let's get going, I have a Nighlok to bring down" Such as we were about to run out the door a voice called out from behind me telling us to stop, it was Jayden and he was placing all of his weight onto Mentor who was supporting him with one arm around his waist.
"Jayden you should be in bed!" I exclaimed.
"You're not leaving until I wish you good luck" He panted out, standing was taking more energy out of him than he thought. Reaching his hand out I grabbed it and he attempted to pull me forward but didn't have the strength but I got the message. I moved so that our foreheads were touching then he leaned up and gave me a gentle kiss that told me how much he loved me.
"Good luck" he whispered and that was all I needed.
At The Cove (Again)
We arrived to see Deker already waiting, sharpening his sword which shined dangerously in the bright light of the sun. Without looking he could feel that we were here because he started to speak.
"So which one of you have decided to accept my challenge?"
"Me" I stepped to the front of the group and grasped Jayden's samuraizer tightly in my hand, it was lightly shaking but I paid it no mind. Deker looked up and there was something familiar on his face that I've seen on other Nighlok but it disappeared quickly.
"The Gold Ranger. I have heard how protective the Red Ranger is towards you. Let's see if you can save him like he saved you"
"Good idea. Go Go Samurai!" I painted the power symbol and turned into the Red Ranger. Deker seemed stunned but also pleased.
"I see the Red Ranger gave you his power"
"Yeah, we thought it would be nice for your last battle to be with who you want to fight most"
"This will not be my last"
"We'll see about that!"
