Chapter Ten: Arguments
Emily was lying down in bed. She was better. Her shoulder was not dislocated anymore. The active Samurai had used their symbol power to heal her. She still had bruises and was still unconscious.
Jayden was in the living room sitting with his dad and Antonio. He had just explained how Antonio got there and how he got the octazord.
"So you just let him on the team?" asked James.
"Kind of. I needed some convincing. He has proven to be very useful. He has saved our lives many times. Yeah we needed to save him a couple of times. When I had been poisoned and Deker, half human/half nighlock, wanted to face me, I was sick and weak. Antonio found out where I was and saved me from fighting Deker. I wouldn't be here today if he hadn't shown up," Jayden said," I am glad he is on my team." Antonio blushed.
"You would have made it even if I didn't show up," said Antonio.
"You are just being modest," said Jayden.
"I don't want him on this team," said James.
"What?" asked Jayden," He saved my life on more than one occasion."
"And I am truly appreciative of that but he is not a Samurai and he will never will be," said James," He probably done well, but he is in danger and putting your team in danger." James was so calm.
"He activated the octazord and the clawzord. He programed and activated the Black box. He activated the lightzord. He made his Samurizer and took down several nighlock by himself. I am not kicking him off my team. He is a valuable member," Jayden shouted.
"Jayden, you are putting him in danger every time you take him to battle, not to mention you and your team," said James.
"And he comes out alive every time. He is has proven himself every time he has gone to battle," said Jayden.
"It's okay, Jayden. I can leave. I don't want to get in between you and your dad," Antonio said," If he doesn't want me on the team then I don't have to be on the team."
"No, Antonio, please stay. I want you to stay," said Jayden said.
"I can't. See ya around, mi amigo," said Antonio and he left. Jayden went straight to his room without another word.
When he reached his room, he slammed the door shut and cried. He missed Antonio already and he knew his teammates reaction. Emily and Mia would be devastated. Mike would be upset. Kevin, even though he won't admit, would miss Antonio. Ji would miss him too. "I hope the nighlock don't go after him," whispered Jayden.
Line Break
Mentor Ji got in an argument with Mike, Kevin, and Mia on why he didn't want to tell them about their parents. They were unconvinced and were furious at him.
"Why don't you see my logic?" asked Mentor Ji.
"Oh, we see your logic. We see it crystal clear. It would have been nice to know about our parents," Mia said angrily. Then they stormed off to do their own things. Kevin went to read his books. Mike went to play video games. Mia went to cook.
Line Break
Emily had just woken up to see her mom reading a book by her bedside. She was surprised to see her mom. "Am I dead?" asked Emily.
"No, you are alive," said Elizabeth," I was only pretending to be dead." Emily was surprised and hurt.
"Why do you hate me?" asked Emily.
"I don't hate you. I love you," said Elizabeth. Elizabeth was hurt. She thinks I hate her. Oh man! He was right. I do hurt Emily, thought Elizabeth.
"You sure have a good way of showing it," Emily said sarcastically," I mean ignoring me, not believing that dad is abusive, never saying I love you, never tucking me in, never picking me up but always picking Serena up from school, taking Serena away when I am crying, and never caring is what normal parents do."
"You should stop being sarcastic. I had to do it," said Elizabeth.
"You had to? Like I haven't heard that before. You never cared and you never will. So stop trying to make me believe you have this whole time," Emily said. She was really wounded because of her mom.
"I do love you," said Elizabeth.
"No you don't," Emily said and she rolled over on to her other side.
"Will you at least let me explain why I ignored you?" asked Elizabeth. She felt like crying.
"No," answered Emily.
Line Break
Things with the Samurai were rocky. Jayden was mad at his dad for kicking Antonio off the team. Mike, Kevin, and Mia were mad at Mentor Ji for not telling them about their parents. Emily was mad at her mom because she didn't believe that her mom loved her. Antonio wasn't even with them.
Sorry, the arguements were kind of lame. I will post more soon. I do not own power rangers. Please review.
