Hello my fellow readers, writers, and people who have been enjoying this story so far, I'm back with yet another new chapter. In this chapter we're going to be going over the events of the power rangers samurai episode titled test of the leader. Since this is basically a tied in episode to the episode titled Jayden's challenge, I'm going to be covering both in a single chapter.
There will be a major difference about halfway through this chapter but I'm not going to be spoiling it because of the simple fact that good writers don't spoil things in the beginning author notes. Anyway, I've been blabbering on for long enough so let's get this show on the road.
"Talking"
Thought"
"Yelling/special attack"
(author's input, location change, time change)
Ben's P.O.V.
As we were training me with Emily and Mia while Jayden was training with Mike and Kevin the gap sensor went off and when we went into the living room to check it out on the map I saw a reading that looked completely different from the other attacks. I said "it looks like a full blown invasion what is the leader sending all his nightlok out to attack us since sending one didn't seem to be doing the trick."
Jayden said "not very likely even the only leader around wouldn't do that so most likely it's just a bunch of Moogers" and I said "well at least we'll be able to take care of them pretty easily." Kevin said "that depends on how many passed through the gaps" and I said "that's true" and we ran out the door with them morphing on the way out and me waiting to transform since I did have a 15 or so minute time limit.
We split up when we got where the Moogers were and I got paired up with Mia in one of the battles and I transformed into Swampfire and shot fire at the Moogers that were surrounding this kid. As Mia sliced the Moogers that were lucky enough to avoid my flames I took a closer look at the kid and realized that it was the person we ran into at the bakery and he seemed to get involved in some of the things.
Mia while kneeling down next to the kid while I was holding the Moogers off with my fireballs she said "are you okay" and the kid didn't respond. She said "you have to get out of here" and when he didn't move, she added on "as in right now" and he just repeated "right now" before just staying there. Then the slightly overweight person he was always with ran up about to pick him up before recognizing Mia.
He said in an awed voice "you you're a samurai ranger" and Mia said "and you're both in danger please get to safety" and the overweight guy picked up the skinny guy and they ran from where they were." The girls and myself were holding off the Moogers with minor difficulty however that become more difficult when more of them showed up.
I said "so these guys are trying to overwhelm us with numbers well they won't expect this" and I slapped the symbol of my Omnitrix and transformed into Ultimate Swampfire. I then shot a larger array of blue flames the Moogers which cleared out a large number of them and I said "both of you out of the way" and they got behind me and I shot another large array of blue flames at the Moogers.
We were then taken by surprise with what seemed to be a small army of Moogers and as we were fighting them Emily said "I sure hope the guys show up soon" and Mia said "me too." Just then they appeared in the beetle, swordfish, and tiger zords and formed the battlewing to take down the giant Moogers that were in the town.
As they did that we were forced back to back with each other in a triangle shape and I said "okay let's try shaking this up a little bit" and I transformed into Big Chill and I froze a few of them. One that I didn't get was about to attack Emily when Jayden sliced it in the back and we were now back to back with 6 people and I said "it's cool that guys showed up when you did we're getting overwhelmed."
Mia said "no kidding are we glad to see you guys" and Mike cracked a joke "wow there's a whole lot of ugly here" and Jayden said "yep time to change this picture" and he put his red disk on his sword and spun it and called out his attack "spin sword blazing strike" and the others started calling out their attacks "spin sword dragon splash" "spin sword forest vortex" "spin sword air wave" "spin sword seismic swing" and they Moogers that were there were completely destroyed.
Just as I was about to transform back more of them came out of the woodwork and Mia said "ugh they're like roaches" and Kevin said "then we've got be the exterminators. I then transformed into Kickin' Hawk and said "let's kick these guys to the curb" and I jumped into a ground of them and started kicking them away from me into building supports.
As I was fighting my group of them I noticed them do something that had never happened before they started glowing like strobe lights or something. Then multiple gaps in the ground lit up and all that was coming out of them was a voice saying "Red ranger" over and over again. The Moogers I was fighting then started going toward Jayden and I noticed that they were doing the same thing with the others, leaving them to go after Jayden.
I said "guys we need to create a protective circle or Jayden will be outnumbers and defeated" and they jumped into the battle even though the Moogers weren't wanting to fight them. As I was kicking them I away I noticed out of the corner of my eye that Jayden grabbed Emily's sword and said "I've been wanting to try out a new symbol combination for a while" and he then opened his belt compartment and pulled out a lightning disk.
While the swords were stuck in the ground so he could put the disk on Emily's sword he spun them both at the same time and picked them up and said "duck" and the rest of us did. He then called out "spin sword blazing storm" and that destroyed all the Moogers and it didn't seem like there were more coming and the last thing said by the voice coming from the gaps said "red ranger you're in danger" and ended with a laugh.
As they demorphed Mike said "okay someone want to tell me what that voice was" and Emily said "I've never heard anything so evil" and I said "Same here and Vilgax usually goes into a long-winded conversation about victory before I kick his ass." Mia said "that wasn't a normal nightlok was it Jayden" and he said "no I think that was master Xandrid."
Kevin said "master Xandrid as in lord of the nightlok's do you think he's back" and Mike said "are you serious why would he be calling out red ranger red ranger why just you." As we got back to the Shiba house and sat down on the chairs in the living room area Kevin said "why were the Moogers only after Jayden" and Gi said "Jayden master Xandrid must know."
Mike said "know what are keeping secrets from us" and Gi took as seat and said "there is a secret symbol that can create a seal the previous red ranger used it to imprison master Xandrid. When master Xandrid last attacked it was a surprise and we were almost defeated that symbol is how Jayden's father was able to seal Xandrid away last time."
Mike said "so that means its up to Jayden now" and Gi said "yes only members of the red ranger shiba family can use the symbol." Mike then said "I guess that means you really are the man" while looking at Jayden" and Mia said "Jayden's father did everything he could to save us" and Jayden then got up and just walked away.
Kevin said "Jayden wait" and Mike said "what the big deal Jayden just has to use his special red ranger symbol power to seal Master X" and I said "from what I've dealt with there's always a catch to power like that." Gi said "there is indeed it takes unbelievable symbol power to make the seal permanent" and we all got into our different clothes to train which for them was black garments with their color on the seams and mine was just a white tee-shirt and black shorts.
As we were warming up Mike said "this is awesome Jayden just has to master this seal symbol and Xandrid will be old news" and Mia said "but the last red ranger couldn't master it. Kevin then said "and the one before he couldn't either no ranger has" and Emily being the most optimistic of the group said "he'll master it he has to it's his destiny."
Kevin said "that's right until then we have to protect Jayden that's our number one mission got that" and they nodded and Kevin added on "if we work more as a team, we can protect Jayden from anything." he must have heard that last part because he said "no that's not necessary protect yourselves first it's business as usual stay focused on the battle at hand as a team okay."
Kevin said "we must protect you at all costs" and Jayden said "no that's just too much of a burden to bear" and just as he was starting to do his training the gap sensor went off. We quickly got dressed in our normal street clothes and looked on the map and ran to where it was saying the nightlok was. As we got there Emily said "the nightlok must be around here somewhere" and Mike who must have hawk-like eyes said "there it is" while he was looking up.
As we got closer the nightlok who was sitting down at the time said "which of you is the red ranger" in a Scottish accent." Jayden the stepped slightly forward and the nightlok said "well hello there rumor is that you've got some special tricks up your sleeve the boss has a problem with that so I got to destroy ya sorry."
Jayden said "sorry I'll show you who's going to be sorry" and Mia whispered to Kevin "Master Xandrid must know Jayden has the sealing power." Both him and Mike went forward and grabbed Jayden by his upper arms and Kevin said "this is too dangerous this is just the type of battle you should avoid let us duty and protect you." Jayden then broke free of their grasp and ran toward the nightlok who shot energy blasts at him which caused explosions to appear right in front of us.
I could literally feel the heat from the explosions and Mia said "why won't Jayden listen" and Kevin said "I don't know get out your Samuraizers guys" and they morphed. Just as they did Moogers appeared out of nowhere and started attacking us and I transformed into Upchuck and said "I'll hold these guys off you guys do what you have to" and they did so and I ate some rocks and shot a few Moogers with the explosive that occurs whenever Upchuck eats something.
I looked up and the nightlok must have used one of its special attacks because waves hit Jayden immobilizing him while he got hit with 3 sword slashes. I was wondering why they hadn't stopped it but more Moogers were already attacking them and the nightlok jumped down and started gloating "look at ya one double slash and your down for the count."
Jayden said "down but not out" and the nightlok said "I thought you'd be tough but you're crawling around like a bug and I love to crush bugs." Kevin and Emily were the first ones to notice besides me that the nightlok was closing in on Jayden and was preparing his special attack. They ran over even though Jayden's protest about protecting themselves and took the special attack which I managed to hear was called double slash."
When the smoke created from the explosion cleared Emily and Kevin were demorphed and fell to the ground unconscious. It was then something inside of me snapped and I transformed into Atomix and charged right at the nightlok after obliterating the Moogers. I then shot a blast of pure energy at the nightlok which somehow, he managed to deflect with his sword.
I said "how are you able to deflect a direct shot of energy from Atomix" and he said "you have something to learn sonny we nightlok get stronger the higher the Sanzu river gets. Every bit of human misery that's occurred in your world for the last few weeks or so has caused the river to rise to a point where we nightlok are able to stay in human world longer than before."
I said "that doesn't matter you're going down anyway" and he said "oh yeah" and sent a double slash at me which actually managed to hit me but I was still up and moving even though it hurt like hell to do so. I then transformed into Snare-oh and said "good luck keeping a mummy down" and he said "like I told red ranger I love a challenge" and I then wrapped some bandaging around him which he cut off almost instantly.
He said "that's not going to stop me" and he stabbed the sword right through Snare-oh which caused me to collapse until the injury healed itself. I was still able to remain conscious and the thing that happened next surprised me the most as Mike and Mia got in front of Jayden, Emily, and Kevin the nightlok who saved Dayu which was named Deker landed in between them.
He slashed the nightlok first and then did enough damage to Mia and Mike with two strike that they demorphed as well and landed a distance away unconscious. As Deker took a swing at Jayden he picked up a blade and blocked it and the nightlok said "Deker what are you doing here" and Deker said "red ranger is my opponent not yours I'll ask you once please leave."
The nightlok said "and what if I don't want to" and charged at Deker and Jayden rolled out the way and grabbed two swords and was actually holding them both off. After a minute or so them fighting it out in a three-way battle the nightlok said "move aside Deker the red ranger is my opponent to beat" and he tried to slash at Deker but that didn't do anything against him and he kicked him away with a sword to the chest combo.
As Jayden had managed to tie with them since he had one of the two swords, he was carrying against Deker's throat and Deker had his blade against the nightlok's throat and the nightlok's sword was held away from Jayden he said "okay boy's your move." The nightlok after growling for a moment started laughing and backed up slowly and said "your both in luck I'm dried out Maser Xandrid won't be too happy about this."
As the nightlok retreated Jayden said "he'll be back" and then turned to Deker and said "why did you help me." he said "my only desire is to find someone strong enough to be my opponent someone worthy to clash against my sword uramasa" and they both got into another fight and while Jayden did managed to deflect a few of his strike one got him right in the arm.
I then transformed into Diamondhead and created a sword and shield and went up behind Deker and heard him say "that was too easy this isn't the battle I want Robtish's double slash has taken too much out of you. Uramasa won't be satisfied unless you're at your peak but next time you will feel it's slash" and he slashed a rock that Jayden was leaning against.
I said from behind him "it's time you leave buddy" and Deker said "I couldn't agree more" and he jumped up to the cliff where the now named Robtish had been before. He then glowed purple and transformed into the person who had been with us before when Jayden was fighting Kevin. He said "red ranger you will satisfy my hunger you will give me the battle I have desired for centuries so for now I leave you be until you are again at your best but then we will duel."
Mike and Mia who seemed to have regained consciousness at some point during the battle ran up to where Jayden was standing and Mike said "what are you anyway are you a nightlok." He simply replied "I am Deker nothing more nothing less" and with that he started walking away" and I said "I could go after him."
Jayden said "don't bother I don't think he'll do anything" and I said "okay then I'll see you guys at the house" and I transformed into Fasttrack and grabbed Emily bridal style and ran. As I got there, I saw that Gi already had two beds set up and when I silently asked him how he knew to do so he said "Mike called ahead."
I nodded and gently placed Emily in one of them and then transformed back and made sure she was somewhat comfortable. I then transformed into a Namekian which was another of the alien's on earth trying to make a better life for themselves. The thing I liked about using this alien was that while he couldn't heal any injuries, he could at least assess what the damage caused by the wounds were.
As I got done, I transformed back and said "if Kevin's are the same as Emily's injuries it looks the ranger uniforms took most of the damage. They'll be sore for a couple of days but other than that they'll be fine" and he breathed a sigh of relief and I headed out of the house to the backyard and I started practicing myself without any powers since I knew I couldn't rely on the Omnitrix forever.
(the next morning)
After placing breakfast on the tables by the beds in the room that we had pretty much dubbed the infirmary I sat on the bench in the room. I had already had breakfast and I was surprised when Kevin hadn't eaten anything" and after about 20 minutes Mike walked in and looked right at Kevin and said "you know a young samurai once told me that breakfast is the most important meal of the day."
Kevin corrected him and said "I told you that I'll eat once I'm done with this while I've been laid up I thought about the possibility of combining the Samurai battlewing and the megazord." Mike said "the last time I was sick I played video games, drank ginger ale, and had chicken soup" and Kevin just shook his head.
Mike then looked over at Mia and said "what's up with you" and she said "Jayden isn't back yet" and before he could respond Gi came in and said "hello everyone Emily feeling better have you finish breakfast" and Mike said "you can cut the happy-Happy act we know something is up." Mia then added on "we know Jayden is still gone" and Gi said "we mustn't worry what we need to do is focus on our mission."
Mike before heading out to the back yard said "at least you two are feeling better and then I caught into his conversation with Mia. He said "I remember how messed up I felt when a nightlok attacked my buddies just because they were hanging out with me." Mia said "just think about how Jayden must be feeling knowing that we're willing to take hits for him."
Mike said "yeah must be tough to know that you're the only ranger with the sealing power" and Mia said "I know just imagine how you would feel if you held the whole world's fate in your hands." I said "you know I've actually done that" and Emily said "when" and I said "remember how I mentioned that I had gained the powers of a god for a little bit."
She nodded and I said "well I had turned every human from esoterica which were the followers of Daigon but Vilgax who laid defeated was actually trying to get me to do something completely different. What he was trying to do was goad me to wipe out all evil in the universe so my teams and my struggles would be over and I'm quite ashamed to admit that I was actually listening to him but in the end, I did change everyone back to human."
Emily said "it's not something you should be ashamed of when it comes to listening to one of your enemies when you had that much power literally in your hands." Kevin said "yeah you know how they say that power corrupts and quite frankly it sounds like that was what was happening to you." After a few hours the gap sensor went off and all of us went to check the map and Gi was there and already checking it and said when he noticed all of us "are you really up for this."
Kevin said "we have to be up for it" and Emily said "yeah we all wish Jayden were here with us but there's a nightlok out there." Gi said "you should know Jayden struggles with putting any of you at risk he resisted calling upon you when Master Xandrid first reawakened. He wanted to take on this fight alone which is why he walks alone now" and Kevin said "forgive me Mentor but that's wrong Jayden's never going to be alone."
Mia said "he'll have us we're in this forever" and Mike said "let's move out we got a nightlok to fight" and as they were running out the door Gi called me back. I said "yeah" and he said "do you have any forms that can track people" and I said 'yeah I got a couple" and he said "then if you can find Jayden and at least let him know there's another nightlok attack" and I said "I'm on it" and I transformed into wildmutt and took off running out of the room following Jayden's scent.
As I caught up with his scent, I realized he must have been just lucky enough to be where the nightlok decided to attack although with the current one's mission I figured it wasn't really a coincidence. I noticed the battle was already underway with everyone in their ranger outfits and no Moogers around so I transformed into Diamondhead and joined the others after shooting Taydenite shards into the nightlok's back.
As he screamed out in pain and pulled the shards out, I regrouped with the others and the nightlok looked directly at me and said "after I finish the red ranger my next target is you ya walking ice sculpture" and I said "good luck with that." He then summoned more Moogers but the others finished them off quite quickly with a combined move they called the quintuple slash. The nightlok ran into a parking garage and I said "let's get him" and when we caught up to him he said "following me here was not wise." In response to what Robtish said Jayden said "together our team can handle anything you can throw at us" and the nightlok said "then prove it" and he charged us but with Jayden hitting him in the back he got sent flying.
He said "let's see how your team deals with this" and Jayden said "he'll start with his shockwaves and then watch out for his slash attack if we can defend against those, we'll be fine." I said "I got this" and I slammed my hands down on the ground palms flat and just as he shot off his shockwave thing, I put up a large Taydenite shield in front of us.
I said "you might want to get the 5-disk cannon ready" and Jayden said "got it" and he summoned his firesmasher and put the tiger disk on it. He then transformed it into a cannon and the others put their disks into it and as I could feel the shield was no longer needed, I lowered it and jumped behind the others.
Jayden fired the 5-disk tiger cannon and it destroyed the nightlok with its last words at this size being "I wasn't expecting this." The nightlok then grew into its mega monster form and started out by saying "now you've got a big problem." As they formed the megazord it was outclassed as the nightlok called out some Moogers that seemed to have evolved and could now fly.
I figured it was Kevin passing out his plans for the battlewing megazord as he called it and, in a moment, I was proven right when they summoned the battlewing and then it combined to the megazord after being split up into a few pieces. The battlewing megazord actually worked out in this case and I transformed into upgrade and covered the whole thing and when they were looking at me, I said "might as well have a little bit of extra power to defeat this guy."
They didn't seem to argue as we took off and I shot some energy blasts at some of them as the rest of them were finished off by the sword of the megazord. As we landed on the ground again we started attacking the nightlok and we finished it off with the disks powering up the sword and me throwing in a bit of power as well.
The nightlok was destroyed with the last attack and I transformed back and we all returned to the shiba house and after Jayden apologized to Gi for running away Gi said "why don't you all take the night off." I said "okay how about movies" and Emily said "sounds good oh what about a romantic comedy" and Mike said "fat chance unless there's zombies in it."
I said "okay how about this Emily and me pick our movie and you guys see whatever your wanting" and they all agreed to that and after a night of fun we returned to the shiba house and had a good night's sleep."
Okay yet another chapter done in the next chapter we'll be covering the events of the power rangers samurai episode titled unexpected visitor. Don't be expecting too many of these two chapters in one episodes since there aren't that many that are pretty much follow-ups to previous episodes but I'm guessing there will be at least 3.
Anyway I don't have anything else to add on so until next time this is Diamondholder signing off.
