CHAPTER 14
The next morning, Mentor was filled in on the situation. He sat his rangers down and tried to discuss a plan of action. Emily sat down next to Jayden and his arm was wrapped around her. She was stressed out and having to rehear that dream that was odd.
"This dream could either be just a dream or something completely the opposite." said Mentor as he walked around and pondered the thought.
"Could it be a nighlok?" asked Mia as she looked to Mentor with worry. If this was the work of the nighlok then they could do something.
"Could be, but we won't know for sure yet." said Mentor as he stopped pacing around the rangers. He looked to Emily and could tell that she was suffering. Jayden rubbed her shoulder and pulled Emily closer to him. He would do whatever it took to make everything right again.
"Everything will be ok, you have me, the team, and Mentor." said Jayden to Emily. He saw how scared she was and he did his best to comfort her. Emily looked up to Jayden and smiled slightly.
"Ok, for now, everyone practice out in the yard. Emily you and Jayden will be working in hear, unless you prefer…" said Mentor, but Emily answered.
"It's ok Mentor." said Emily. She wasn't trying to interrupt Mentor Ji, but she knew what he would say next. He would have said not to train at all and Emily wasn't going to let this interfere with her duty.
"Ok. Everyone may begin." said Mentor and with that all the rangers went off into their directions. Jayden and Emily were sparring indoor and so far everything was going ok. Emily was trying to keep her mind busy and it was working. Emily attack Jayden, but he blocked her attack. He tried to kick, but she jumped back and dodged. Jayden looked up and smiled as Emily gave a teasing smile in return. Emily was about attack when suddenly, a pain struck her head.
"OUCH!" Emily cried in pain and she collapsed to her knees.
"Emily!" yelled Jayden as he rushed to her side. He wrapped his arms around her and was worried. "Em, what's wrong?" he asked in a panicked voice.
"I don't know. My head just started killing me." said Emily as she held her head and clenched her eyes shut.
"Hold on." said Jayden. "Ji!" yelled Jayden and moments later Mentor came rushing in wondering what could be the matter.
"What is it Jayden? What's wrong?" said Mentor Ji as he looked to Emily, in pain, in Jayden's arms.
"It's Emily." said Jayden as he looked down to Emily.
"What happened?" said Mentor as he got down their level and looked over Emily.
"We were sparring and everything was fine. Then she all of a sudden cried out in pain, she said her head was hurting her." Jayden explained to Mentor. Seeing Emily liked this broke his heart.
"Did she hit her head?" Mentor asked as he looked to Jayden.
Jayden shook his head. "No. It just happened out of nowhere."
"Let's get her to the infirmary." said Mentor as he helped Jayden up and Jayden carried Emily. They rushed into the room and set her down.
"Emily, can you hear me? Are you alright?" said Mentor as he was trying to talk to Emily.
"I can hear you. My heads just killing me." she said as she slightly opened her eyes. The pain was intense and it was making it hard to see.
"What happened?" asked Mentor as he was looking for his things. He would run a test on her and see if something happened underneath the surface of her head.
"We were sparring and then my head just started hurting for no absolute reason." Emily explained as she squeezed Jayden's hand as another strong wave of pain hit her. It didn't hurt Jayden, but he would be right here for Emily.
"Did anything happen prior to that?" Mentor asked as he began performing his test. He scanned her head and let her continue.
"No. This just...happened." Emily finished as that was all she could say. Mentor nodded and finished up. He looked at the scanner and found nothing. Everything was normal, no concussions, no type of head trauma.
"Your results show that you're fine." said Mentor as he tried to think of what was going on. As Emily sat there, suddenly the pain just vanished. She sat up and touched her head and then looked to Jayden.
"It stopped." Emily said confused. One moment the pain was there and then the next, gone.
"That's strange." said Jayden as he looked to Mentor and then back to Emily.
"Something isn't right. Strange things are happening." said Mentor as he sat their confused. Something like this wasn't natural. Someone or something was causing this.
"Do you think it could be a nighlok?" Jayden asked. That seemed like the only reason that made sense.
"Possibly, but I don't know who." Mentor said as he was stumped.
"Remember the nighlok that was lurking around. I couldn't feel him, but I could sense him. How I felt like someone was watching me and it was." said Jayden as he remembered back to that battle. No believed him at first, but then they found the nighlok that was stirring all the mayhem.
"Yeah, that nighlok was messing with you and then he finally came out and was stopped." said Emily as she sat there and leaned against Jayden.
"Well, we won't know anything, but whatever is causing, we'll have to watch out." said Mentor and then the gap sensor went off.
"Let's go." said Jayden as he got up and then Emily followed behind. They all surrounded the table and looked to where the disturbance was.
"They're at 4th street and Coral avenue. Hurry rangers." said Mentor as the rangers were about to leave. Jayden stopped and everyone didn't know what was going on.
"Em are you sure you want to go out there right now?" asked Jayden. He wanted to make sure that Emily was comfortable going out into battle, considering what was going on.
"Yes, I'm not going to let this interfere with our duties." said Emily determined. Jayden smiled and knew she could do this.
"That's my girl." said Jayden as he kissed the top of Emily's head. "If something isn't right, you need to tell me, ok?"
"Ok, let's go." said Emily and they were out the door.
*IN THE CITY*
"Run and hide humans. You can't escape me, you've never dealt with a nighlok like me." said the nighlok in a low and evil voice. He was black and seemed to hover above the ground. He had black cloth draping down his sleek figure. He wore a black hat with a black see-through veil draping down his face. He was a dark nighlok and his weapons of choice were two katana swords.
People ran and screamed looking for cover. "My name is Shadow and I'm here to cause pain." said the nighlok known as Shadow.
Moments later, the rangers arrived already morphed. "Enough of your games nighlok." said Jayden. These nighlok just made everything worse.
"Why, hello rangers. Took you long enough, I was beginning to think that you wouldn't show." said Shadow. He then turned to the yellow ranger and smiled evilly. Then what he did next was unexpected.
Emily noticed how Shadow was glaring at her. Suddenly, a pain hit Emily and she screamed. It hit her all over, but also a sad and upsetting image plagued her mind. The image she saw was of the team on the floor covered in blood. Emily cried out in pain, because of the hurt and because of the image that was forced onto her.
"Emily!" yelled Jayden as he knelt down next to her.
"What's the matter yellow ranger? Don't like what you have to see and feel." said Shadow as he taunted her and forced more pain on her, as he extended his hand in her direction. Emily fell backward and lay on the ground in pain.
"You've been doing this to her?!" yelled Jayden as he turned his head and stared angrily at Shadow.
"The dreams, the pain. I bring it all and I can do it as much as I want, as long as I have this." said Shadow as he pulled out a small mirror. Jayden slightly growled and then turned back to Emily and his look softened. Jayden got up and so did the other guys and they charged at Shadow. Mia stayed behind with Emily and tried to help her. The guys charged and slashed at Shadow.
"You're going to pay!" Jayden yelled as he slashed him across the chest and the others kept off some of the moogers.
"You can't defeat me, plus I can hurt your little girlfriend all I want." said Shadow as he kicked all of them and then slashed his swords at them. They fell to the ground, but Jayden managed to get back up.
"I won't let you." said Jayden as he slashed at him and did his best to stay up. He managed to knock shadow down, but he knew he would run away and hide in the Netherworld. Without saying a word, Jayden did a symbol to attach itself onto Shadow before he noticed. Shadow got up and dodged an attack Jayden through at him, but kicked Jayden to the ground. Jayden held his side in pain and looked up as Shadow hovered over them.
"Nice effort rangers, but you'll never get me out of the Netherworld." said Shadow as a gap opened up. Just before he left, he stood and looked back to the rangers. "Later rangers." and he let out an evil laugh and fled into the gap. Everyone managed to get up and then rushed to Emily's side.
"Em, are you ok?" asked Jayden as he picked her up from the street and set her down on the sidewalk bench.
"Yeah, it's gone. It doesn't hurt." said Emily as she sat back and just relaxed a bit before getting up. Emily stood up and she almost fell to the ground, but Jayden caught her in time.
"Are you sure?" said Jayden as he set her back down.
"Yeah, I think it might have weakened me a bit." said Emily.
"Let's get back, we need to inform Mentor Ji." said Kevin as he looked to Jayden who was sitting down holding Emily. Jayden nodded, but he wasn't going to let Emily walk. Jayden got up and picked up Emily. They all got home fairly quick and found Mentor standing outside, waiting for them to come back.
"What happened?" Mentor asked as he looked to his rangers and found them beaten up a bit.
"We found the nighlok responsible for the chaos put on Emily." said Jayden as he walked in and sat down with Emily in his lap. Everyone else came in and sat down looking like they were going to pass out.
"Who is it?" asked Mentor. If he knew more about the nighlok, then they had a better idea of what it was capable of.
"Shadow." said Jayden as he looked down to Emily and found that she had slightly drifted to sleep.
"I'll do some research and see what I can find. For now, get some rest and we'll discuss this further, in a while." said Mentor and all the rangers went off into their rooms. Jayden remained sitting there with Emily in his arms.
"Ji, while we were out there, he inflicted pain on her." said Jayden as he kept his voice down.
"Does he use anything to enforce that?" asked Mentor as he sat down next to them.
"A small mirror. He probably uses it to watch her and cause the pain." said Jayden.
"He must be stopped, but how?" Mentor said as he stood up and paced the floor trying to come up with an answer.
"He said he wouldn't come out from the Netherworld. So, I took the liberty to attach a retrieval symbol on him." said Jayden as he smiled.
"Very good Jayden." said Mentor as he was proud.
"All we need to do is perform the symbol and pull him out. I'll make a switch, the real mirror will be replaced with a fake and he'll believe it." said Jayden as a plan was coming together.
"Sounds good. For now, you two and the others need some rest." said Mentor as he saw the sleeping Emily in Jayden's arms.
"Thanks Ji." said Jayden as he got up and carried Emily through the hall. Mentor watched and smiled. He knew that Jayden would do anything to keep Emily safe. That is true love that they have. Mentor ended his thoughts and went back to his previous occupations.
Jayden walked down the hall and was going to put Emily in her room, but the door was locked. Mia and Kevin were in there resting, but it wasn't a bad thing. Jayden decided to take Emily to his room. He opened the door and went in. He quietly bumped the door shut with his foot. He walked over to his bed and set Emily down. He looked at her and smiled. She was asleep and looked to be happy. Jayden slowly laid next to her as he didn't want to wake her and his muscles were slightly beginning to ache. He wrapped his arms around her waist gently. Emily's turned in towards Jayden and laid her head on his chest. Jayden couldn't help but smile, she was truly amazing. He closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep with his girlfriend at his side.
What did you think? Did you like it? I hope so. Another incident has happened, but now we know he's behind the chaos. A new nighlok, Shadow. He may not be as powerful and evil as Master Xandred, but he is a wicked nighlok. Shadow may be a nighlok that the rangers may have never seen before.
Jayden has started coming up with a plan, but now it will have to come into play. The rangers can do it. There is more to come and somewhere down the line, we will have some truly HUGE events that you might like or even LOVE!
