CHAPTER 10- Bonding and compassion
"What do you mean Mike came?", asked Jayden now extremely worried because Emily was crying.
There was no answer from the other end and Jayden was growing more and more restless with each passing minute.
"Em! Em? Emily? answer me"
"Huh?...Ja-Jay, he came, an-and attacked..(a cry)..I shouted..I fought...his eyes re-red...I called yo-your name...he attacked me on the head...want-wanted me dead...I don't kno-know what happened"
"Em...calm down...is Antonio there?", asked Jayden though he himself was beyond angry and was all red with the fire burning inside of him.
"Yeah, he is, just came, we-we informed Ji, where are you?"
"I am at the Tengen gate, for some work, are you hurt?"
"Yeah, a bit, no major injuries though, but I don't think Mike will leave me alive"
"He isn't gonna hurt you Em, believe me"
"Yeah! Believe you, who left me when I needed you the most, who didn't even bother to come when I asked you to, who doesn't care if I am alive or not, because your position is what matters!", Emily shouted holding back tears.
"Em, it's not what you think it is..."
"Oh stop it! I know how it is...you and your place as the red ranger, that's all that matters Jayden Shiba"
"Em, listen..."
"Goodbye! Go lead the other rangers, I have Antonio here, I am not a baby!"
With this she hung up and Jayden closed his eyes in anger before throwing the samurazier away and shouting,"Damnit!"
Daisuke came inside hearing the crashing noise and picked up Jayden's samuraizer. He saw Jayden sitting on his bed, red in anger and cursing. He had some unshed tears in his eyes.
"Jayden, what happened?", Daisuke asked carefully.
Jayden turned around and faced Daisuke. He didn't know how to explain it all to him.
He faced Daisuke and said coming near to him," You won't tell anything to Ji, promise me that"
Daisuke looked at him questioningly but nevertheless nodded his head because he knew whatever Jayden will decide, it would not be a decision without judgement.
Meanwhile Emily was holding the balcony's railing and was crying. She had just taken out all her anger on Jayden...which was , according to her, very well deserved. Jayden was the least supportive to her at that moment, the person who has otherwise been always a shoulder to cry on and a helping hand whenever Emily felt down.
Antonio was watching from behind her and he himself felt sad and angrier at Jayden. He went to her and put a comforting hand on her shoulder and Emily turned around hugging him.
"Antonio, am I wrong? You are my brother...you know me very well, tell me...", she cried while Antonio rubbed soothing circles on her back.
"It's okay Emily, that bastard deserved it", he said and Emily laughed.
"Now come on inside, I have repaired the zords, let's see if the bear zord can detect Mike's location", said Antonio and Emily just nodded and both went inside.
Ji was in the living room working over the map and locating potential threats in Kagoshima to warn Antonio and Emily about it , when Mia and Kevin came inside too after their training.
"Ji, any information?", asked Kevin taking a seat and drinking water from the bottle while Mia grabbed another seat and relaxed, deeply breathing.
"No Kevin, nothing yet but I am still searching, and I could not find anything about Mike's behaviour as well", replied Ji without looking upwards.
"I just hope Emily has calmed down a bit...I want to go and hug her", said Mia sadly.
"I understand Mia, but Antonio said that she is fine now, much better actually", replied Ji.
"By the way, when's Jayden coming?", asked Kevin.
"Oh, I don't know that yet. Let me call Daisuke", replied Ji.
Ji called Daisuke and talked to him while Mia and Kevin discussed some moves and battling techniques.
Ji hung up after 20 mins. and said," He is gonna stay there for some more time, working on a special symbol, but don't worry, he will come if there would be any attack"
"Oh okay, we are going for movies Ji, is that okay?", asked Mia.
"Yeah of course, enjoy!", said Ji smiling.
With this Ji and the others left the living room.
Antonio and Emily were sitting on the bed searching for Mike's clue and trying to communicate with the bear zord.
Emily yawned loudly and Antonio turned around to face her.
"You sleepy chica?", he asked smiling.
"Yeah I guess", she smiled," but let's complete the work first"
"It's okay, you can sleep, I will complete it, come on, relax, no worries now!"
Emily nodded and lied down on the bed covering herself with yellow covering sheet. Antonio contined his work shifting the laptop and the bear zord to the table and chair nearby. Emily looked at him and smiled. She said," Antonio?"
"Yeah",he replied without looking up.
"Thank you"
"Why?", he asked looking amused.
"For everything you have done so far! You are the best brother anyone can get"
Antonio smiled looking at her and went to her. He kneeled down besides her and kissed her forehead before saying," And Emily I can never get a sister better than you. You never make me feel that I am my parents' only child. You can sleep now, without any worries, your brother is here. Goodnight"
"Goodnight Tony", Emily giggled.
"Hey! don't call me that", he laughed while resuming his work.
"Hahaha!", she laughed and turned around.
She again sighed and slowly said," Goodnight Jay!"
Antonio heard this and smirked before shaking his head and continuing his work not telling Emily that her and Jayden's secret was out...the secret of "Secret Goodnights".
Mia and Kevin were in the movie theatre watching a romantic movie and smiling. They were enjoying themselves and have grown a lot closer the past couple of days. But the beautiful moment was ruined the moment Mia's samuraizer went off.
It was Ji, there was a nighlock attack.
They quickly rushed out of the theatre and to the sight told by Ji who also informed that Jayden was already there with Emily's, Mike's and Antonio's power doubles.
They reached the place and quickly morphed as the others were already fighting moogers.
"Jayden! we are here!", Kevin said making their presence known but Jayden didn't respond, strange!
He shrugged it off and continued fighting the moogers. When all the moogers were finished they faced the nighlock.
"You rangers are going down", he shouted.
Mia and Kevin looked at Jayden to respond but again he was too silent.
"You are going down Nighlock", Mia said after Jayden's silence and she nodded at Jayden who nodded back.
Atleast he was nodding. The rest of the fight went well besides the fact that not a single word escaped Jayden's mouth which was strange. But when the time came to finally say those 5 words, luckily Jayden spoke
"Samurai Rangers! Victory is ours!"
Mia and Kevin were relieved and Jayden immediately left after the battle without even saying a word to them. They thought that maybe he was in stress regarding the symbol, they knew Jayden very well and decided not to say anything. They went away to complete their remaining dayoff.
Antonio was working on the laptop and Emily was sleeping soundly. He was now tired, no matter how much he tried or how much the bear zord tried they found no trace of Mike.
He rested his head on the back of his chair and closed his eyes momentarily when a noise came from the bear zord. His head snapped back to the screen and he saw a green dot there indicating that they had located Mike.
He saw the screen carefully and his eyes went wide when he saw that the location it indicated was "Panorama city"
He looked towards the bear zord and asked quietly cocking an eyebrow," Is it surely Mike?"
The bear zord nodded its head and Antonio buried his head in his hands before releasing a sigh. Only two words escaped his mouth.
"Oh God!"
