Chapter 4: Deal with a Nighlok
The gang is now being shown outside on the standard training grounds of the Shiba House. Jayden was training by himself. Emily and Kevin were in a light spar with their kendo sticks, Mia was getting pointers on her hand combat with Troy, Mike was practicing on his symbol power, and Ji was inside reading a book. Kevin and Emily suddenly stopped to take a break.
"Emily, remember if you ever need to talk about missing your family, you can always talk about it to me alright?" Kevin stated. Emily then looked a little confused.
"Uhhh thanks Kevin but I think I'll be fine" She then answered. Kevin then looked to Mike who just finished making a symbol.
"Hell yeah I finally did this" He said triumphantly. Kevin then walked over to him.
"Hey Mike, if you ever need help on your symbol power then I'm here to help" Kevin then said with a smile. This creeped the crap out of Mike.
"Dude, I'll be fine." He replied. Kevin then walked to Mia and Troy. Troy then took notice and stopped talking as Kevin approached Mia.
"Hey Mia if you need an-"
"I'm ok Kevin" Mia responds then attacks with a barrage of shots which Kevin avoided.
"Nice shots there Mia" Kevin then said a little shocked.
"Aw thanks Kev" She responds smiling. They both then continue the spar while Troy then heads to Ji and Jayden.
"So does anyone know what happened to Kevin" Troy then adds as he stares at the spar between Mia and Kevin. Jayden and Ji both shook their heads.
"He's been like that since yesterday" Ji then added. Jayden just walked back into the house.
Back at the Nighlok ship. Master Xandred is currently sleeping. He's still ill from the battle of before and was currently on Sanzu water to try and speed up his healing.
"Damn, why can't this river rise any faster than it is." He growled in frustration. Dayu then walked.
"Don't worry Master I am sure Octoroo will have brought up a Nighlok." Dayu then said.
As on cue, Octoroo walks in with a weird looking Nighlok. The Nighlok was known as one to ruin dreams out of children and use its sadness to help raise the River to the surface.
"Octoroo this one better be good" Xandred then said.
"Don't worry Master, this one can try and increase the rate of the rising river in no time." Octoroo then responded. The Nighlok then went to find a gap through to start his mission.
A little boy was sitting down on the bench looking at his baseball. His dad was away in the army and now he misses his dearly. He then looked through a gap growing as the Nighlok came in to surprise to make the boy almost scream until the Nighlok told him a deal.
Back at the Shiba House, Mia and Ji were finished eating their bowls of ramen until Kevin came in.
"Ooh wait, let me help." He said as he took the plates. Mia and Ji were giving each other confused looks. As soon as he picked up the bowls, the gap sensor went off then Ji pulled out the map. Jayden and the others came in when Troy went to pick up the location.
"He's by the forest close to the baseball field, get moving" Troy then stated. The others ran out of the house to get over there.
The Nighlok was talking to the boy as if he was making a deal.
"I will do that if you promise to do this one thing first." The Nighlok said.
"Promise me?" The boy then said.
The Nighlok said yes and as he was about to head off, Jayden went right at him while Kevin and Mia went and helped the boy get out of the scene. Mike and Emily soon helped him out. As soon as the boy got out of there, Kevin and Mia went to help out. Unfortunately, as soon as the Nighlok shook off their attacks, he got out of there and went back to the Netherworld. The others groaned and powered down.
"Damn, we almost had him" Mike said.
"It's ok, we'll get him net time." Jayden tells Mike.
"I wonder what he told the little boy?" Kevin wondered with his hand rubbing his chin.
"Maybe we should talk to him, c'mon Kevin." Mia said grabbing his arm as they went to find the boy.
"Yeah don't worry, we will head back." Jayden said as the three went back to the Shiba House.
Kevin and Mia went around and found the boy walking back to his house. He looked a little down as he walking while holding his baseball gear. Mia then went to talk to the boy.
"Hey, is there something wrong?" Mia asked him.
"No"
"Are you sure, because we want to know what that Nigh… I mean big slimy creature told you" Kevin said while receiving a glare. He almost messed up on knowing what those they are.
"Why does it matter, just leave me alone" He then ran off with the other two just standing shock.
"Damnit" Kevin said in frustration.
Mia then realized by his looks of how the boy was now made her know why Kevin has been behaving a little out of character by for the past two days.
"Wait, have you been like this because of how we've been forced to sacrifice our dreams for all of this?" Mia then asked Kevin. He just sighed and nodded.
"I gave up my dreams of swimming, but I can handle giving that up right now, but I know the others may be taking this harder right now especially even know." He said as Mia blushed a little. He was thinking about me? She said in her thoughts. Kevin then put his hand on her shoulder.
"I care about how you guys feel about giving everything up for now and heading off and risk your lives to defeat the Nighlok" He then added. Mia just smiled because of how much he cared.
"Kevin, don't worry too much about us we all know what was going to happen once we were called upon for our Samurai duties. Don't worry too much plus I think it's really sweet of you to think like that." Mia then responded. Kevin then smiled.
"Thanks Mia, hey I'm going to stay here overnight in case the Nighlok get backs. You can stay if you want." He then told her.
"Don't worry I will, but let me just get something back at the Shiba House. She responded. Kevin nodded as he sees Mia walk back to the Shiba House. It was time now for her to cook something for Kevin. She smiled knowing what to do as she gets back to the Shiba House.
The kitchen became a disaster, Smoke was coming out of the oven, food was all over the place, Spilled liquids was on the floor. Amid the chaos, Mia was pulling out some really burned chicken out of the oven. She decided to make something for Kevin and felt that she was giving it all. As she kept cooking, Jayden, Emily, Mike, and Troy were at the door watching all of this go down.
"So does she even know what she's doing" Jayden asks them.
"Kevin's been feeling a little down and she decided to make dinner for him isn't that romantic" Emily said as she kept watching. Mia was now struggling in evenly cutting the fruits evenly.
"Is t romantic if the food isn't edible looking?" Mike said in wonder. Emily then stifled a giggle after that comment.
"I give her props on the effort though" Troy then added. Jayden just smiled when Mia just finished cooking. She had a blue and pink lunch box probably for her and Kevin.
"Hey Jayden, is it ok if I join Kevin on his stakeout?"
"Yeah, that's fine" Mia then smiled as she walked out of the front door.
"Hey Jayden do you think she likes Kevin?" Troy asks Jayden.
"I could see that, but maybe we should wait a bit on that one" Jayden responded.
Meanwhile as Jayden went to bed, Troy was about to do the same until he sees Mike and Emily watching a movie.
"So, what are you two lovebirds doing here" Tory said with a smirk. This caused Mike and Emily to jump and sit away from each other. Troy just laughed seeing the reaction as he went to his room before they responded.
"We're not lovebirds are we?" Emily said to Mike.
"I... don't think so" Mike said unsure about it.
"Whatever let's just finish the movie." Mike just shrugged and agreed. He had to admit, being with Emily wasn't bad.
Back at the kid's house, Kevin was on a bench just waiting when he heard Mia walk over to him. He smiled and offered her a spot on the bench. She thanked him as she sat down.
"I know that you've been down but I made you something to cheer you up" She pulled out his container of food.
"You made this for me?" Kevin said in a little bit of a shock.
"Of course it'll make you feel better." Mia said now smiling wider.
Kevin smiled back but soon it almost disappeared as he opened container. Ok for starter, the only thing he knew that was in there was burnt chicken, the rest of the stuff in it was completely up for grabs on what it possibly is. He took a bite of the chicken and did a really good job in not spitting it out as Mia was watching him eat. He swallowed it and then nodded to Mia giving her a 'it's good' look. As soon as she looked away, Kevin then decided to throw some of the food out to the ground. Mia then looked back and Kevin was still smiling at her.
"I see you're enjoying it" she then looked at how most of the chicken is gone. "Oh look at you, you almost ate the whole thing." Mia said proud thinking that he's liking it. Kevin then closed the container.
"I think I'm full now so you go rest" Kevin said as he continued watching over the house.
The two then drifted to sleep sharing a blanket with leaning on Kevin's shoulder as they both fell asleep. Unknowingly to them, Troy snuck in front of them and took a picture and then got out of there undetected.
"Haha I got it" He said smiling to himself as he walked back to the Shiba House.
The following morning Kevin woke up and smiled as he notices Mia sleeping on his shoulders.
Damn, I've been so focused on training that I never realized how sweet Mia is, wait what's wrong with me. Kevin said in his thoughts.
The boy then was walking to where the Nighlok told him to meet the day before, but first he went to the dumpster and looked in all his stuff as he threw them in the trash and began running towards the location. He was unaware that Troy was watching this scene and went to go get the stuff he threw in the trash.
"Hmm, yeah no way he should be throwing this out." He said as he walked away from the trucks.
The boy running got the attention and he soon woke up Mia.
"It's that kid, we have to follow him" Mia just nodded in response and the two went after him. They found the kid who was still talking to the Nighlok.
"I did what you told me already, now can I see my dad"
Kevin and Mia looked at each other as to what they just heard then Kevin decided to speak up.
"Hey Nighlok, what did you say to him"
"Oh nothing really, just a little deal we made nothing too special."
"Hey what did he tell you to do" Mia then asked the boy. She was now on her knees to look face to face with the boy.
"To stop playing baseball" He looks to see the trash can be thrown out by the truck. Mia couldn't help but feel anger towards the Nighlok.
"Look, right now I need you to go to safety ok?" She said to the kid. He nodded and ran off.
"How dare say something like that to kids!" She said with such a venomous tone that even Kevin got scared for a bit.
"Hey I need that kind of stuff for the river to rise, It's not my fault I couldn't help it" Mia was about to go at him when Kevin stopped her.
"Don't worry we're in this together." He said to Mia. Mia then took a deep breath and nodded. They both pulled out their Samuraizers.
"SAMURAIZER! GO GO SAMURAI!" They said in unison as they drew their symbols and morphed.
Meanwhile, the kid was still running and didn't look up and accidentally ran into Troy. Troy then noticed him and helped him out.
"I'm sorry I wasn't looking"
"It's ok kid" The boy then noticed that he was holding all his baseball stuff.
"hey, is that my baseball stuff?" He asks. Troy then acts surprised.
"Oh, well if these are yours then why are they in the trash?" He said as he gave them to him.
"I thought it would bring my dad but I guess that monster lied to me." He said that while the Samurai Ranger were fighting the same Nighlok in their megazord.
"Hey it's ok I'm sure he'd be proud of you playing baseball still." The boy then looked up at Troy was now smiling.
"Thank you" The boy said and ran back home with all of his baseball stuff. Troy then smiled as he now sees Jayden and the others run towards him.
"So, what happened."
"Nothing much Jayden, but let's go to the park shall we." Troy then asked them. They all nodded in response as they headed towards the park and the baseball fields.
After watching the boy's baseball game, the group was asking how Jayden managed to pull that thing off.
"So what was that magic thing you did?" Mike asks him.
"It lets a person see a vision of their dream but only temporarily, the kid seemed more motivated after that" Jayden responds.
"Yeah that was so cool of you Jayden." Emily said. Jayden gave a thumbs up as a way of saying thanks. Troy then pulled out his phone to have some fun.
"Hey guys guess what I found" He showed a picture of Mia and Kevin practically in each other's arms on the bench sleeping. Jayden and Mike were now teasing to a blushing Kevin while Emily squealed in delight.
"Awwww that's so sweet" Emily said giggling. Mia was still blushing and made a darkened face to Troy who stopped laughing. Kevin then right next to her.
"Troy I'll give you 5 seconds." And with that statement Troy ran as Kevin and Mia started a chase for their young companion. Emily, Mike, and Jayden were just laughing as Troy found himself stuck on a tree.
"Man, this is one special group." Emily said. Mike stared at Emily and smiled.
"Yeah it is"
