Chapter Eight

Mia and Mike got Emily back to the Mansion, and were greeted by Ji. "Emily! You're safe! Thank Goodness." Ji said giving her a hug. It was rare occasion Ji showed much emotion, so on things like this, you knew he had emotions. Emily returned the hug, and began crying. "Oh Ji, it was horrible! First Dekard had me, then some Nighlok called Beast captured me when I escaped from Dekard!" she cried. Ji held her as she sobbed, and looked at the others. "Jayden has already engaged Dekard in battle in his new armor." he told them. "Yeah, and Jake and Kevin are duking it out with the Nighlok Emily was telling you about." Mike replied. "Good. Go help them out." Ji told them. Mia looked concerned. "Will Emily be alright?" she asked Ji worriedly. "Ji smiled and nodded. "She will be alright here with me. Now go." The two hurried off towards Kevin and Jakes location.

Jayden was having no problem taking on Dekard in his new armor. "Red Ranger, how did you become so powerful?" Dekard demanded. Jayden laughed. "I told you I was more powerful than you!" he replied. Dekard began increasing his attacks. Jayden could only deflect these with ease.

Jake and Kevin were having a harder time with Beast. With every attack, the Nighlok only became stronger. Beast also decided that sicne Jake had attacked him first, Jake would be his main target. The two faced off for an hour, neither side giving up. Everytime Kevin would interfere, Beast would just take him out. "That's it, I've had enough!" Jake yelled. "Mega Mode Power!" Jake roared, entering Mega Mode. Using the Mega Blade, he had an easier time with the powerful Nighlok. Mia and Mike had just arrived to see what seemed to be the finale of Jake, and Beast's battle. "Beast, I will teach you to never mess with my family again!" Jake boldly told the monster. "Bring it on boy! You will never be as good as Emily!" the monster yelled back at Jake. To their surprise, Mike, Mia, and Kevin saw Jake stop for a second, like Emily did against Negatron when he told her she would never be as good as her sister.

"Oh what's the matter? Did I strike a nerve?" Beast asked gleefully. Jake snapped out of it. "Mega Blade, Earth Strike!" he called out. Using the Mega Blade, he wrote out the Earth kanji, sending it towards Beast. Once it struck him, Beast fell to the ground in an explosion. The four ran over to Jake. "Good job Jake." Mia told him. "Yeah man, awesome." Kevin added. "You showed that rouge Nighlok who is boss!" Mike said. "Thanks guys." Jake told them. They sensed a hint of sadness in his voice. Suddenly, Beast became huge. "I will destroy you multi colored pests!" he yelled down at them. "Ape Folding Zord!" Jake roared. The Ape Folding Zord came out of its small component, and grew. Jake hopped in its cockpit. "Round two you ugly freak!" he told Beast. The others followed suit.

Jayden grew tired of his fight with Dekard. "Shogun Saber. Fire Strike!" Jayden called out. The Shogun Saber became engulfed in fire. Spinning it until it was ina ready position, Jayden struck Dekard. Dekard flew into a nearby cave, having the rocks fall down on the entrance. "That should hold you for awhile." Jayden said. His Samuraizer went off. "Jayden here." he said. "Jayden, the others need you in battle. A Nighlok is ful grown and is fighting them in their zords!" Ji told him. "Is Emily OK?" Jayden asked. "Yes, she is fine. She is here now." Ji assured him. "Alright. Lion Folding Zord!" he called out. His Zord appeared, and he went into Mega Mode, and entered his Zord. He then saw the battle. "Guys, you all OK?" he asked. "Oh yeah, never better!" Mike said from his Bear Folding Zord. "Yeah, we're good, just waiting for you so we can do some massive Megazord Power!" Jake's reply was. "Zords combine!" Jayden ordered. The Zords then became the Samurai Megazord. "Samurai Megazord, we are untied!" they cried in unison. The Samurai Megazord pulled out its saber, and began fighting Beast. "Man this guy is tough!" Mia called out. "I got an idea." Jayden said. He walked outside the Megazord, onto its shoulder. "Beetlezord!" he called out. Throwing out the Beetle Disk, his Mega Blade shot out fire, making the Beetle Zord come out. "Samurai Artillery." said Jayden. The Beetle Zord then combined with the Samurai Megazord, forming the Beetle Blaster Megazord.

"Beetle Blaster Megazord, armed for battle!" they called out. "Rotating Beetle Blaster!" they cried, pulling out their Mega Blades, and swinging them. The Megazord then fired a blast at Beast, destroying him for good. "Samurai Rangers, victory is ours." Jayden triumphantly called out. "Whew, that's what you get for messing with family." Jake said.

The five went back to the Mansion, where Emily gave them a tearful welcome. "Guys, I was so scared." she said hugging each of them. She hugged and kissed Jayden, then went over to Jake. "Thank you Jake." she said, hugging him, and sobbing onto his shoulder. Jake did something no one else thought he would do, in the day they had known him; he broke down crying with Emily. "I was scared for you Emily! Serena told me you had been kidnapped again, so I rushed down here as fast as I could! I'm sorry for using your Powers." Jake told her through his sobbing. "I'm sorry for making you have to leave work to replace me for a day!" Emily cried.

The others watched the cousins hug and cry. "Wow this is awkward." Mike said. Mia gave him a "shut up" look. 'Alright, let's get Emily some rest, it's been a long day." Ji said. Jayden and Ji managed to get Emily up to her room. While Mike, Mia and Kevin got Jake to his room.
