Antonio felt like a high speed jet plane just stopped, Adromida caught him,
"the taste of your salmon seasoning could be better Garçia." Adromida said.
This simple line hit Antonio like a thunder. He felt like a daze was just broken, as if he just woke up from a trance. His thoughts rustled back again.
Adromida threw him down too, but Antonio couldn't respond. Adromida attacked, rampaged, and hurt the rangers more, like all the time and left. Antonio looked at Adromida and everything became clear as day.
"how can she know about the salmon seasoning ?"
"this is too frustrating !" Mike shouted as they entered the Shiba house. "looks like whatever we do is sure to fail ! Adromida will know everything !"
" I'm not seeing any hope." Mia said and sighed. They were all tired, frustrated, depressed. They sat on the floor of the dojo, all except Antonio.
Mentor also came, "you've faced many tough monsters before. But this time…." Mentor's voice trailed off, he too, was getting the feel of hopelessness.
" this nighlok is different, completely." Emily said.
" she knows EVERYTHING we plan, or our moves. How can we even beat someone like that ?!" Mike said in the same way.
" she really knows everything about us, that's the biggest problem." Jayden said and looked at Antonio from the corner of his eyes.
"and we don't know how she's knowing that." Kevin remarked.
"seems like she's spying on us. having someone to inform." Jayden gravely said.
" guys, have hope !" Adriana spoke up, "we can never accept defeat, it's not over yet !" she tried to cheer them up.
Antonio was silent the whole time, he didn't say anything. He stared at Adriana. He didn't want to believe it, but everything hinted towards it. She is the spy.
" yeah Adriana, you're right." Jayden smiled for the first time in a while. "we cannot give up. That's our motto."
Antonio then looked at Jayden, tensed look on his face. Adriana started aiding their wounds, everyone seemed to feel better at Adriana's presence and hopeful words but it was opposite for Antonio, he felt worse.
" can't they understand anything ?" he thought.
"Antonio, are you ok ?" Kevin asked after a while seeing the quite Antonio, but Antonio didn't know why, his voice sounded more doubtful that caring.
"yeah, just…thinking." He replied.
Everyone turned in early, Antonio was left with his thoughts.
"only Adriana was with me at the lake, and she is the only one who had my salmon seasoning. How did Adromida mention that ?" the answer was obvious. " it has to be the only answer. And all of this began after Adriana arrived." Antonio was feeling very tensed. Suddenly all the facts were clear to him, and he felt that he was the only one who realized that. The others were still amazed with Adriana.
For a moment Antonio was also feeling the same way, but just a single line today has brought him back to light. "I can't believe Adriana betrayed us like that."
Antonio couldn't sleep. He got up, " I have to be sure."
Late night. Antonio managed to get Adriana's morpher, he came in his room, opened it and studied it for a while, then closed it.
"I knew it. This has no morphin grid access." Antonio said under his breath and clenched his teeth.
He stood in the darkness with the thought of the horrible danger of the team.
A/N- finally feeling good… !
