AN: See, I promised a new update and I delivered. Yay! Thank you to all my followers, reviewers, and people who favorite this story. Just my usual reminder of my poll and to go and vote.

grapejuice101: Although there is no speaking to a past ranger there is a flashback in this chapter. So I hope you like it.

Cassie-D1: Bay's college friends will make their first appearance besides Nadine in this chapter.

Also for Bay's friends here's who they would be played by if this story was real.

Nadine: Debby Ryan

Ariel: Laura Marano

Tamara: Elizabeth Gilles

Aaron: Blake Michael

Taylor: Cody Linley

Tyler: Austin Butler

Rico: Jake T. Austin

Jonathon: Nathan Kress

The outfit Bay uses is from the Shake it Up episode Psych it Up which is also what the little bit at the end is loosely based of. The past rangers mentioned here are the Wild Force Team, TJ from Turbo, and the flashback is from the end of the Forever Red Special and features all the red rangers in that special except the alien one.

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot, Bay and her friends.

(At the University)

Bay sat in her college writing class, editing a paper. Nadine sat next to her. Bay was dressed in a red long sleeved shirt with cut outs running down the sleeves, camouflage skinny jeans, and shiny tan combat boots. For her hair she left it loose and curly with the bangs in her forehead and applied light brown eye shadow, mascara, light red lip gloss, and applied scarlet nail polish. She had placed gold studs in her ears and had a layered gold necklace to complete the outfit.

"Hey, Bo." She said getting Bay's attention.

"Yes, Nadine?" She asked.

"Do you think I should ask Aaron if we're going to the big party the football team is throwing in a few weeks or wait till he asks me?" Bay rolled her eyes.

"Well, you are his girlfriend and I heard it's the biggest party of the year so I would assume you two are going." Bay responded.

"True. Are you going?" Nadine questioned.

"Don't think so." Bay responded. Nadine raised her eyebrows.

"Why not?!" She whined, "And don't say it's because you have no date. You're like the prettiest, nicest freshman on campus." Bay shook her head.

"I'm just not into the whole dating scene right now, you know, the "incident" that happened over the summer."

"Oh." Nadine remembered. Professor Glass walked over.

"Ladies, these papers better be your greatest works for all the chatting you two are doing." She told her best students before walking away. The two girls began to silently giggle.

(Back at the Shiba House)

"Hey, guys!" Mike greeted his fellow samurai sans Jayden and Bay who was at school, as entered the dojo with his skateboard. Mia and Emily where soaring and Kevin was doing push-ups. "Guess what?"

"You overslept? Again." Kevin suggested standing and grabbing a towel to put around his neck while the girls ceased sparring and came over.

"Yeah, well, that's nothing new." Mike countered.

"So what's up?" Emily questioned.

"Ji just told me he wanted us to take the day off." Mike reapplied.

"Really?" Emily asked ecstatic.

"This isn't a joke?" Mia asked skeptical.

"But we just started our workout." Kevin said he then turned to kick the punching bag. "Mmm!"

"Dude, you're telling me you're going to disobey a direct order from your samurai mentor?" Mike asked pulling off his helmet.

"Well... I guess not." Kevin relented the others chuckled.

"What to do?" Mia asked pacing and holding her chin. "I could shop for shoes and art design for fighting monsters or I could catch a flick."

"But it's such a beautiful day." Emily protested. "It'd be a shame to stay cooed up inside."

"Em, I can teach you how to shred." Mike suggested.

"Well, I was thinking Rainbow's End." Emily informed them. "I've never been on a roller coaster before."

"What? Never?" Mike countered.

"They don't have amusement parks out where I'm from." Emily responded.

"Then it's settled." Mia declared.

"Rainbow's End, here we come." Mike announced.

"Yeah!" Kevin agreed starting to get into it.

"Let's go." Mia finished. They all headed for the door only to run into Jayden who was entering.

"Hey, Jayden," Kevin called getting the red rangers attention, "we're going to the amusement park."

"Have fun." Jayden replied smiling and walking past them.

"You're not coming with us?" Kevin asked confused.

"Not this time." Jayden replied turning around, "There's something I need to do." With that he walked away.

"He's so mysterious sometimes." Mia commenter, "I wonder what's so important." Mike who had already exited opened the door.

"Our day off is a-wasting." He told them. "Jayden can take care of himself. Come on." They all walked out the door but Kevin who hesitated turning back for a moment before following the others.

In the middle of the dojo Jayden opened a box with an orange disk inside. He picked it up, staring at it for a moment before his eyes shot up, determined.

(Outside Half an Hour Later)

The rangers walked outside and ran into Bay who had just entered the gate.

"Morning! What's going on?" She asked confused at the fact that they were in their normal clothes and not training gear.

"Mentor gave us the day off!" Mike cheered.

"What? No way." Bay said skeptically tossing her hair over her shoulder.

"It's true." Emily told her happily.

"Yeah, why do you think Kevin's with us?" Mia asked pointing at the blue ranger.

"Yeah, hey!" Kevin protested. Bay laughed along with the others.

"Okay so what are you guys doing?"

"We're going to Rainbow's End. Em's never been on a roller coaster before." Mike informed her swinging an arm over Emily's shoulders.

"Seriously?" Bay asked slightly shocked, Emily nodded.

"Yeah, do you want to come?"

"Uh, yeah! Just give me a few minutes to put down my stuff and grab my cash." They agree and she started for the front door, "Hey, is Jayden coming?" She asked turning around. Kevin shook his head.

"No, said he had something to do."

"But hey, why do you try to convince him?" Mia suggested. Bay shrugged and went inside to her room. She tossed her school bag down on her bed and grabbed her small black purse pulling out her driver's license and credit card. She slipped them in her pocket left her room after a quick glance in the mirror. She stopped in front of the dojo and poked her head in. She stepped in and saw Jayden sitting in the middle of the floor with a box and something orange in his hands.

"What's that?" She asked walking up to stand in front of him. Jayden looked up and put the orange object in the box and placed the box down standing up to his full height, which was taller than Bay.

"Weren't you at school?" He questioned.

"Yeah until an hour ago." She told him. "But anyway I saw it, now I'm curious. What's in the box?"

"It's nothing you need to concern yourself, Bay. You should go join the others. Enjoy the day off."

"Okay, but come with us. It'll be fun." She tried.

"Sorry but no. Have fun." He told her as she looked at him curiously.

"Okay, maybe next time?" She asked as she backed away. Jayden gave her a small smile.

"Sure, next time." Bay smirked.

"All right, but that was a promise and I am going to hold you to that." She told him pointing right at him.

"Get out of here, Bay." Jayden ordered but he was still smiling. Bay laughed and moved faster towards the door.

"All right, all right, I'm gone!" She conceded before leaving. She walked back out to the others, "No good, he's stubborn." She told them, "Let's go." They all left and got ready to enjoy the day.

(At Rainbow's End Amusement Park)

At Rainbow's End, customers screamed as the roller coaster went upside down. Emily laughed as she watched.

"I wonder why Jayden didn't come." Kevin asked as they walked through the park.

"He seemed to have a lot on his mind." Mia commented.

"Yeah, it's not like we could force him to come." Bay reminded him.

"We'll bring him back some cotton candy to cheer him up." Emily told Kevin.

"Wait." Kevin ordered stopping them. "Maybe this is a test." He turned to face them, "A samurai never takes a day off." He attempted to leave but Mia held him back.

"Kev, stop being paranoid." She ordered.

"Look, if he wanted us to stay, he would have said so." Mike told him.

"I don't think Jayden will take a day off until the last nighlock is defeated." Mia informed them.

'That can't be healthy.' Bay thought to herself.

"Besides, Kevin," Bay said out loud, "You need to give your brain and body a break. Otherwise you'll crash." She told him crossing her arms.

"Okay," Kevin conceded, "I'll stay for a while."

"Whatever, Kev, the rides are awaiting." Mike commented before going towards them. Mia and Emily giggled joining hands and following with Kevin right behind Mia. Bay shook her head at their antics before running after them.

(A Few Hours Later)

"That was fun." Mia commented as they relaxed at a table. Bay nodded as she sat between Kevin and Mike sipping her soda.

"Help!" A voice screamed getting their attention.

"That sounds like trouble." Kevin said as they stood up.

"So much for my normal day." Mia commented as they went to investigate with Mike lagging behind.

"As if evil would take a day off." Bay countered sarcastically.

"Run!" Someone screamed as they left the park. They all ran into a backstreet and pulled out their Samuraizers.

"Samuraizer!" They announced together bringing them down to open them. "Go, go, Samurai!" They all spoke together bringing theirs up to their opposite shoulder. They all drew their respective symbols, "Hah!" They called striking them to begin their morphing sequence.

Bay hit a button on her Samuraizer, brought her arms in then slashed them down with her palms facing behind her. Symbols surrounded her and formed her mask. Symbols then surrounded her forming her uniform minus the helmet. Her sword then flew at her and she caught it and slipped it into its holster. Her symbol then flew at her head and formed her helmet. She then opened the compartment on her belt and pulled out a disk. She slipped it onto the hilt of her sword and drew it pointing it in the air.

"Samurai Ranger ready." She proclaimed slipping into her final pose with her right arm curling to the other side of her body with her fingers in an okay position and her left arm holding her sword over her right. They all stood morphed and ready.

"Let's do this!" Bay told them and they all ran towards the battle.

(At the Battle)

"Humans?" The nighlock questioned looking at the frightened citizens. "They're a waste of good space, time to crank up the gun to high caliber. Yeehaw!" It held up its gun and fired but Mike and Kevin jumped in and deflected it. "Leaping lizards. Samurai Rangers." The girls ran up to the people.

"Here let me help." Mia said to a girl.

"Come on." Emily said.

"Go, we'll take care of this." Bay ordered.

"That's enough, Dreadlocks." Kevin ordered.

"You saying there's something wrong with my hair?" It asked.

"Yeah," Mike answered running forwards, "it's so dreadful it needs a trim. Ha!" He jumped in the air to bring his sword down on the nighlock. He struck it but no damage was inflicted. "Huh?" He questioned landing. The nighlock then slashed him with its gun knocking him back.

"Oh! Mike!" Emily called worried.

"Purty colors." The nighlock complimented as they looked to their fallen comrade. In anger they all ran to attack it, "Did y'all come down here to give me a warm welcome?"

"Strike!" The four of them said together slashing the nighlock. But just like Mike's attack it did nothing.

"Huh?" Kevin questioned.

"This isn't good." Emily commented.

"Ya, think?!" Bay asked sarcastically.

"What do we do now?" Mia asked. The nighlock spun away then opened fire on them. Bay felt a searing pain hit her throwing her back with the others.

"Our spin swords don't work on this creep." Mike realized standing.

"Gee, what was your first clue?" Bay sarcastically questioned standing.

"But how is that possible?" Kevin asked confused standing up also. The three leapt over the nighlock flipping to landing on their feet.

"Leaping lizards." It commented again as they landed, "Truth is, y'all ain't so hot," It said as the three behind moved to strike joined by Emily and Mia from the front but no effect once again, "cause your swords ain't got no mojo." It finished as they continued to strike.

"Oh, there's nothing we can do." Emily announced.

"What's this monster made of?" Mia asked.

"Mostly red fur." Mike answered as the nighlock got away from them.

"I'll give you what feer." It told them standing and shooting at them again. It hit knocking their swords away, "Now that I got your attention, here's some big news that will knock you flat." It said as it continued to shoot at them finally knocking them down. Bay laid face down in pain. "Tarnation." It said blowing the smoke of its gun barrel. "Now, that's a bit more like it." Bay pushed herself slightly up to see it begin to advance on them.

'If it tries this again we won't stand it.' She realized, 'If that happens I don't care about my secret anymore, I'm demorphing and using my powers to get them out of here.'

"So let's pretend you're all blades of grass," the nighlock suggested, "and guess who's gonna be the lawnmower? It asked holding up its gun again. It pointed it again and while the others cowered Bay got ready to power down.

"Let's see who makes the cut." It said.

"Oh, yeah?" Jayden challenged as he leapt at the nighlock from behind with his sword in the air.

"Jayden!" Kevin called.

"Watch out!" Emily warned. Jayden struck the nighlock but as always it had no effect. He continued to move slashing at the nighlock but it continued to be defective.

"Hey, what gives?" He asked.

"Oh, man." Mike commented, "Even Jayden's sword won't work."

"Yeah it goes right through his body." Mia threw in.

"Like it's a ghost." Bay said confused.

"You attack like a toothless gator." The nighlock told the still attacking red ranger. "So useless. Check you later." It fired but Jayden flipped and knocked the gun away.

"Nice move." Kevin complimented as they all ran up to him.

"Guys, let's use our swords and attack together." Jayden commanded opening the compartment on his belt.

"Right!" They all agreed holding up their own disks. Bay slapped her white one on the Spin Sword.

"Hey, what you trying to pull now?" The nighlock asked turning around as they spun their disks. Bay spun her disk and her sword emitted a pure white glow. She then pulled it partly behind her left side.

"Spin Sword, Six Way Slash!" The team called slashing the air sending slashes of their signature color at the Nighlock.

The attack hit and pushed the nighlock back.

"Huh?" They all asked confused when they saw that it was merely injured.

"Got him." Jayden commented.

"Ooh. Your rainbow rage just tickled my tummy." It taunted before aiming at them. Jayden brought out his Fire Smasher and they all ducked behind it as the nighlock shot at them. "You can't face me." It continued to taunt, "So all that's left for you now is the crying." It shot again but Jayden shielded them once again.

"This is serious." Kevin told them, "What are we gonna do?" Jayden opened his compartment and pulled out another disk this time orange.

"Whoa, what is that?" Mia asked confused. The nighlock continued to fire. "I've never seen that before."

"Talk later, fight now!" Bay yelled.

"Oh, feels like I ate cactus needles." The nighlock complained doubling over. It began to blacken and placed a hand on its injury. "I'm drying out. Next time you won't be so lucky." It promises them, "Huh. Later, rangers." It turned and walked away slipping through a gap. All the rangers except Jayden sighed in relief.

(Back at the Shiba House)

The rangers sat around the table contemplating their fight. Bay sat between Mia and Jayden with her right elbow on her knee and her chin in her palm.

"Man, that monster was working some bad mojo." Mike commented before sitting down.

"I don't mean to sound like that nighlock," Mia began, "but our Spin Swords and symbol power were, well, useless."

"It's scary to think what he could have done to us if he hadn't dried out. Kevin said sitting next to Mia.

"No thanks." Emily countered, "I'd like to think how we could beat him."

"Exactly, Emily." Ji praised standing, "Fear is the enemy. If you believe in yourselves you can win any battle. Confidence is what brings power."

"That may be," Bay said without her usual sarcasm, "but we just pretty much looked pathetic next to that nighlock. It's hard to be confident when you lose that badly."

"She's right." Mike agreed, "You weren't there, our weapons couldn't even touch him."

"That's not true." Jayden protested standing up, "Don't forget we did injure him. I've been working on mastering a new power." He informed them standing away from the chairs to show them. He held up the orange disk.

"So that's what you've been doing today." Mia realized as they stood up to examine it.

"A new disk." Kevin said with awe. "What is it?"

"There are secret disks passed down from previous generations of samurai." Ji informed them.

"Most have been lost in battle. This may be the only one left." Jayden explained. "With this we at least stand a chance of beating the nighlock."

'Why do I sense a but coming here?' Bay thought.

"However, in order to master this disk, one needs double the samurai power they already have." Ji told them.

"Don't worry. You all focus on recovery." Jayden reassured them.

"But twice as much power? Can you really handle that?" Mike asked.

"Thanks to Ji, I've been trained to believe I can do anything I out my mind to." He replied.

"So why didn't you use it earlier?" Mike asked. They all looked at Jayden for an explanation.

"Next time." He promised before leaving.

(Later that Day)

Late that afternoon, Bay sat in mediation in the training yard. It was peaceful for a bit but after a while sounds and the smell of something burning distracted her. She had a pretty good guess of what it was. She stood up and after grabbing a water bottle from the kitchen followed the sound out to an open area where Jayden was practicing with his Fire Smasher and she could see the orange disk attached to it. She stood back and watched as Jayden struggled with the fire and to hold on. After a few minutes it was knocked out of his hands. Bay walked over and bent down to pick it up. But as soon as her fingertips touched it she reeled back quickly at the intense heat.

"Careful." Jayden warned watching her, "It's hot." Bay nodded and instead walked over and handed him the bottle of water.

"Drink." She ordered, after he drank nearly half in one gulp she shook her head, "You haven't completely mastered that disk yet. Have you?" She asked.

"No." Jayden bluntly answered, "How'd you know?" Bay crossed her arms.

"Well, the fact that you didn't use it in battle clued me in. That and I remember you holding it this morning when I tried to convince you to hang with us."

"I'll get it." Jayden said moving towards his weapon but Bay blocked his path.

"True but look at yourself, your beaten down and exhausted. You need to take care of yourself, Jayden. If you keep this up you are going to crash."

"I can't afford to stop know the fate of the world hangs in the balance." He moved her aside and walked to his Fire Smasher. His fingers closed around the handle and he lifted it, but before he could go any further, Bay's pale hand covered his. He turned his head and looked into her brown eyes.

"The world is counting on you Jayden. But don't forget you don't have to bear that weight alone. You have us. We are with you to the very end. And I am not going to stop you because I know you are stubborn. But I also know you will master this, because you believe in yourself and we believe in you too. Remember that." Bay then left leaving Jayden to ponder her wise words.

(At the Battle the Next Day)

"You can't run far enough to escape my wraith." The nighlock taunted the fleeing civilians. "I'm going up flatten this place like a pancake." Suddenly a pink windstorm picked up. "What the?" The nighlock turned to see five out of the six rangers. "Oh, ah so it's you." It commented. Bay stood in between Mia and Emily with her eyes narrowed.

"Hey, useless." Kevin threw at it.

"Haven't you heard? The Wild West is finished." Bay taunted.

"Hey that's my word." It said in anger firing at them. They all quickly drew their symbols.

"Go, go Samurai!" They yelled striking the symbols, "Huh!" They morphed and defected the beams. They began to attack with all they had in them.

"Flip and dip all you want." The nighlock said, "But in the end, I'm sending all your helmet heads down the river." It struck Mia, Emily and Mike. Kevin and Bay jumped up with their signature weapons to defend their friends.

"Hey, White and Blue, that's for you." The nighlock taunted firing at them. It hit them and the two crashed to the ground groaning in pain. They attempted to stand.

"There's no point in trying to stand up, dude," the nighlock informed them as Kevin and Bay saw the guns barrel pointed right at them, "Cause I'm about to knock you two down for good."

"Kevin, Bay." Mike called.

"Oh, no." Emily said concerned. The nighlock clicked the trigger but the Lion Foldingzord flew at them and hit the gun.

"Wah!" The nighlock cried, "What's that, a gnat?" It asked as the zord continued to hit it. It finally was knocked back as the other rangers made it to Kevin and Bay.

"It's Jayden." Mike realized.

"What's this?" The nighlock questioned standing up. Jayden stood there and put his Fire Smasher on his shoulder.

"That big blade of yours ain't buying you no respect from me." The nighlock told their leader. "If'n you want to tangle, suit yourself." It got its gun ready.

"Whoa, careful, Jayden." Mia warned.

'He's got this. We believe in him.' Bay thought remembering their conversation from the night before.

"Well? I'm awaiting." The nighlock said. "What's keeping you, Scaredy Cat?" It continued to taunt.

"What? Why doesn't he charge?" Kevin asked confused.

"Come on, Jayden. Go for it!" Mike cheered.

"We believe in you!" Bay threw in.

Jayden finally opened the compartment on his belt revealing the orange disk. They all gasped.

"I see why he's holding back." Mia realized.

"Sheesh, I've seen glaciers that move faster than you." The nighlock complained aiming its gun.

"Jayden!" Emily and Kevin warned.

"Smash him, Jay." Mike ordered.

"Hey poser, is that all you got?" The nighlock taunted throwing the gun forward. The other five gasped.

"Jayden!" They yelled in fear. Jayden finally pulled the disk out and put it on his weapon.

"Fire Smasher!" He announced, "Cannon Blast Mode!" Fire went all over the Fire Smasher. Jayden swung it in circles finally stopping.

"Wah!" The nighlock cried as it was hit by some of the flames.

There was a flash on the Fire Smasher and they could see Jayden struggling to hold on. But he succeeded and the weapon transformed.

"Whoa!" The other rangers exclaimed standing up except Mike.

"Now, that's hot." Mike commented.

"Amazing." Bay said.

"Hey, you guys, lend me your power disks." Jayden told them holding his up.

"Okay. Emily agreed for them.

"All right." Kevin said as they ran forward.

"Sure..." Bay began putting her pure white disk in behind Jayden's.

"Hope..." Kevin continued putting his in next.

"This..." Mia said as hers went in.

"Will..." Mike threw in his.

"Help." Emily finished.

"What you got their boy? Rainbow pea shooter?" The nighlock questioned.

"Six-Disk Beetle Cannon." Jayden answered.

"Huh!" The other rangers said as they dropped to one knee.

'You're finished cowboy.' Bay thought as she watched from next to Mike.

"Useless pile of junk." The nighlock complained getting ready to shoot. It finally shot at them.

"Fire Strike!" Jayden proclaimed pulling the trigger and moving the lever forward. The cannon whirred as the disks glowed and spun. They shot off and fused hitting the nighlock dead on.

"What in the world?" It asked. "Agh! My dreadlocks feel like lead locks." It complained as it began to crackle with red electricity. "This can't be happening!" It finally exploded.

"Righteous!" Mike complimented as they began to stand.

"We did it!" Emily cheered.

"Yeah!" Mia agreed.

"Guys, hold up on the celebrating. This nighlock is about to get a lot bigger." Jayden reminded them.

"Hi Rinky-Dink Rangers!" It greeted as it grew.

"Whoa!" They commented.

"That's a whole lot of dread." Mike said.

Bay clicked a button on her Samuraizer, "Ha!" she called as she threw her sword into the air. She then dropped to one knee putting her star shaped zord into her ground sending up a storm of white symbols. She then held her hand up and drew a symbol, "Snow Leopard Foldingzord." She then stood up, "Megamode Power." White symbols transformed her into megamode, she held one hand to her sky and the other on her hip. "Yay!" She then flew into the air grabbing her sword as she went. "Huh!" She then dropped down into her glowing zord. She then appeared in the cockpit. She then brought her sword to her and folded it up, jamming it into the holder for the control and put her disk in.

"Zords Combine!" The rangers ordered after appearing in their individual cockpits. The zords all flew into the air and folded up to form the new megazord. Bay's zord folded up some of the points of the star and became the front armor over the front of the lion zord. The rangers materialized in the cockpit of the megazord.

"Samurai Megazord! We are united!" The rangers proclaimed together.

"It's time to give you a mega-haircut." Jayden told the nighlock as the megazord drew its zord. It struck down but had no effect.

"Whoa." The nighlock commented. "No. You don't!"

"Oh!" Emily and Mia commented.

"What?" Mike asked.

"It didn't work." Jayden realized.

"Huh, your swords still have no effect on me." The nighlock explained before firing on them.

"Whoa!" They cried as the cockpit shook.

"We got to try sometimes else." Jayden told them.

"But what?" Bay asked.

"No use fighting it." The nighlock told them as they megazord went down, "You're all cruising to a losing."

"That's the lamest pun I've heard in weeks." Bay said as she picked herself up.

"Now what?" Kevin asked, "Any ideas?"

"We've only got one option." Jayden announced, "It's time to unleash the true power of this disk." He held up the disk.

"Huh? What?" Emily and Kevin questioned. Jayden went outside the megazord and stood on its shoulder.

"Hey, Nighlock, over here!" He called getting its attention.

"Huh?" It questioned confused.

"All right, time to give this a mega-shot." Jayden announced throwing up the disk. He swung his sword around. "Beetle Zord!" He yelled as fire shot up from his sword and hit the disk. An orange beetle erupted form it.

"What?" The nighlock asked. The beetle landed in front of the megazord.

"Hey, a beetle." Emily said.

"Excellent." Emily complimented.

"A zord came out of that disk. How cool." Mia commented clapping her hands and pointing at Mike.

"Now that's what I'm talking about." Mike said pointing and clapping his hands.

'Oh just like how the Wild Force team found zords to help them in their fight.' Bay realized.

They watched Jayden jump in the new zord and drive it forward. No matter what the nighlock threw at it with words or laser blast it still moved forward. It grabbed the nighlock's leg and pulled. The mouth spun flipping the nighlock in the air.

"We got him!" Mia called.

"Yeah!" Mike cheered.

"Keep it up!" Bay joined in.

"All right!" Kevin yelled.

"Way to go!" Emily praised. Suddenly Giant Moogers with chains and arrows appeared. They notched their bows. But the Beetle Zord fired before they could fire. Suddenly the Beetle Zord rose in the air breaking apart. The megazord pulled of its helmet as the spikes of the zord attached to the arms and the head attached to the head of the megazord opening up. In the cockpit Jayden appeared back in his spot.

"Nice!" Kevin commented.

"Yeah!" Mike agreed.

"Awesome!" Bay said.

"Wow!" Mia exclaimed.

"Sweet!" Emily said. Jayden put his controller back in its console.

"Time to go for it." He announced holding up the Beetle Disk. He put it in the console. "Beetle Blaster Megazord, armed for battle."

"Say what?" The nighlock asked.

"Jayden, what's going on?" Mike asked.

"I'll explain later." He promised. "Focus." They all stood ready.

"Huh!" They called pushing their controllers forwards.

Outside the megazord got into a fighting position.

"Don't back down! Get him!" The nighlock ordered the giant moogers. They fired their arrows.

"Beetle Cannon!" Jayden announced. The helmet on the megazord fired at the moogers destroying some but the others ran towards them. "It doesn't matter who big you are." Jayden taunted as the megazord struck them one by one, "You're still moogers." The cannon blasted them once again destroying them once and for all. "Now it's your turn." Jayden told the nighlock as the megazord turned to face it.

"Haven't you sussed it out?" It asked. "Your swords useless against me." The megazord sheathed it's sword. "Got you." It fired at them but the cannon fired back hitting the nighlock as well as the blast. "Uh! Hey!" It complained losing its blaster.

"Let's see how useless you think this is." Jayden challenged. "Huh!" He moved his controller forward.

The megazord fell to one knee and the beetle's pinchers closed to cover its face. The ranger yanked out their controllers and spun them in their hands. They pulled the trigger extending them to swords

"Rotating Beetle Blaster! Huh!" The proclaimed spinning their disks.

Outside the beetle began to spin and glow.

"Whoa!" The nighlock said. "That thing spins, it ain't no good." Sparks flew to the beetle causing it to glow orange. Inside a red symbol appeared in front of the rangers.

"Hah!" The called slashing through it. Outside the cannon fired with fire at the nighlock.

"Whah!" It complained. "Oh, shoot! Next time, use less." It said as the pinchers opened and it began to crackle with red electricity. "Cause you just made me useless!" Were its final words as it fell back and exploded. The megazord stood and posed.

"Huh!" Jayden called putting his sword down.

"That was epic!" Mike exclaimed.

"Wow!" Emily commented.

"Have yourself a good night." Kevin said. Jayden held up the Beetle Disk.

(Back at the Shiba House that night)

"So you're saying that not only do the special disks have powers that we can use but they also contain hidden zords?" Kevin asked Jayden excited.

"Yes." Jayden answered.

"Awesome, now we have an advantage against the nighlock." Kevin cheered with the others except Bay, Jayden, and Ji joining in. Bay stood up and held up her hand.

"Guys," They all stopped and looked at her, "let's not get ahead of ourselves. I mean sure we got a mega power boost today. But it's still six of us versus an army of them. We still got a long ways to go." The others dejectedly nodded. They soon broke up and left the room. Bay slipped into her room and closed the door. She laid down on her bed and thought.

'I wonder if when find more disks the zords can form a new megazord like the Wild Force team did.' Bay thought she then remembered distantly when she had first meet the leader of that team Cole Evans, it had happened when her father and other red rangers had gone to the moon to stop the remains of the Machine Empire.

"Wow. So that was Tommy." Cole stated, "He really is the greatest ranger."

"Yeah right!" Someone said as the others burst into laughter.

"What? What did I say?" Cold questioned.

"Well, I wouldn't go that far." TJ began placing a hand on Cole's shoulder. "After all, I was the one that replaced him."

"Are you kidding me?" Jason asked, "I was the one doing all the work while he was at the Juice Bar kissing on Kimberly."

"All right, at least his haircut's regulation now, right?" Carter joined in.

"Yeah, my Q-Rex would eat his Dragon Zord for lunch." Eric said.

"He never discovered new galaxies." Leo threw in.

"Hey, wait, wait, wait, wait." Wes ordered, "I changed history. So why does he have a fan club and I don't?"

"Hey I saved two worlds, what about that?" Cole countered.

"Wait, wait, wait, wait. Did I ever tell you guys about the time I got baked into that giant pizza?" TJ asked.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah! Yes!" Were the responses. Cole then noticed something.

"Hey, what's that?" They all turned to see Tommy a little further away and a figure emerge from a building and begin running towards Tommy. As it got closer they could see it was a little girl about ten years old with red curly hair that had bangs in her face, a black and white striped tank top, black jeans, and gray converse. Tommy stopped and crouched down opening his arms. The girl ran straight in them. Tommy stood up hugging the girl close.

"Who is that?" Carter asked. Jason smiled at the question.

"That's' Tommy's daughter Bay, she's also my goddaughter."

"He has a daughter?" Eric asked.

"Yep." Tommy put Bay down and whispered something in her ear. She smiled and jogged over to the other red rangers with Tommy following.

"Uncle Jason!" She squealed hugging him. Jason chuckled and hugged back.

"Hi, Bay." Bay let go and hugged TJ, Andros, and Leo in turn.

"Uncle TJ, Uncle Andros, Uncle Leo!" She greeted. The men hugged her back and Bay looked at Carter, Wes, Eric, and Cole.

"I don't know who you guys are." She stated tilting her head.

"I'm Cole Evans." Cole said bending down to her height, "Red Wild Force Ranger."

"Hi." Bay greeted shaking his hand.

"I'm Carter Grayson, Red Lightspeed Rescue Ranger." Carter greeted.

"Cool."

"I'm Wes Collins, Red Time Force Ranger." Wes introduced.

"And I'm Eric Meyers, Quantum Time Force Ranger." Eric finished.

"It's nice to meet you all, I'm Bay, Bay Sakuraba-Oliver." Bay told them.

(Back at Rainbow's End)

The next day found the Samurai Rangers back at Rainbow's End, this time as a full team. People screamed with joy throughout the park.

"I'm so glad the mentor gave us another day off." Mia commented as she walked with Mike, Kevin, and Bay.

"It's only fair. Since our last one involved scraping with a nighlock." Mike told her punching the air.

"Easy there Mean Green." Bay told him laughing.

"Well, if Mentor felt it was all right, I guess I shouldn't argue." Kevin said.

"Who is gonna argue... With cotton candy?" Emily asked as she and Jayden came up holding three each. Emily handed one to Mia and Mike while Jayden handed one to Bay and Kevin.

"This really isn't in line with my training diet." Kevin commented.

"That's true." Jayden agreed, "But it's okay. Cotton candy or a day off from training can be good for you. Ji reminded me that keeping balance in life is important. It lets us be at our best." He finished causing them all to smile at him. Kevin bit into his cotton candy.

"Mmm." He commented. Mike swung an arm around his shoulders.

"Come on, you stick in the mud. The rides are this way." Mike then led Kevin away.

"Gosh, my first roller coaster!" Emily cheered as the rest followed. Bay nibbled on her candy as she walked behind Mia and Emily. They soon finished and stood in line for the roller coaster.

"Hey, Bay." Jayden said getting her attention, she turned her head towards him and raised her eyebrows. "I just wanted to stay, thanks."

"For what?" Bay asked confused.

"For what you said last night, about knowing I could do it no matter what and that you guys believed in me. And also for looking out for me, you were right; I was going to crash if I didn't slow down. I actually did for a few hours." Bay gave him a gentle smile and placed a hand on his arm.

"First of all, looking out for you is part of my job description as your friend. And I told you so." The two shared a laugh. "Second, I didn't tell you anything you didn't know was true yourself, Jayden. I just did what a friend does, nothing special." He smiled back at her.

"It was special to me. No one has ever done that for me besides Ji. So, thank you."

"You're welcome." Bay conceded. They finally came to the front and the two got in the orange cart. "Here we go." The roller coaster started and they all screamed as it went at top speeds. After they got off the roller coaster they all walked around near the game stands when suddenly,

"Bay!" They all turned to see Nadine, Aaron and about two more girls and four guys walk up. Bay smiled.

"What's up, guys?" She asked hugging them. She then turned to the samurai rangers. "Everybody, these are my friends from campus. This is Nadine, her boyfriend Aaron, Taylor, his twin brother Tyler, Taylor's girlfriend Ariel, Tyler's boyfriend Tamara, Rico and Jonathon." They all greeted the samurai, "Okay this is Jayden, Mia, Mike, Kevin, and Emily." The samurai greeted them.

"Anyway, Bay you have to check out this cool physic." Ariel said with the others nodding.

"Oh, please! How many times will I say it? Physics are fake."

"Just go and if she is a fake, I'll spring for breakfast for all of us next time." Tyler suggested. Bay sighed and nodded. She then turned to the samurai.

"You guys cool with this?" They all nodded and they all went to Madam Zara's Tent of Wonder. Bay sat in a chair while the rest observed. Madame Zara took her hand.

"I sense a lot of restraint from you, my child. Could it be you do not wish to be here?" She drawled.

"Gee, what was your first clue? The glare or mumbled "I really don't want to be here"?" Bay questioned sarcastically. Madame Zara continued.

"Your future is much clouded. Could you have made some wrong decisions in the past?"

"No, but go on you quack." Bay encouraged.

"I also sense much failure; do you not do well with school or others?"

"She's one of the most popular freshmen on campus." Rico said.

"And the smartest." Tamara added. Madame Zara shrugged.

"The crystal ball is not always right. That is why it requires expensive care to work." Bay smirked.

"Okay, but look in it one more time. Because I am sure you don't need me to tell you this but my Uncle TJ is a cop." Madame Zara pulled out Bay's money.

"I sense a refund in your future." She said. Bay snatched it up.

"Thank you." The teenagers left the tent. "Told you so!" Bay told her friends who groaned.

"I hate it when she's right." Aaron said. The teens laughed and all hung out together for the rest of the day.

So, what did you think? Review and tell me.

The next chapter will be a chapter solely from my imagination and will feature Bay more prominently. It should be up next week if I have the time.
