You seem a little Dark 26

"Are she okay?" Twilight whimpered to Jayden as she looked at Emily, who was laying in her bed, unconscience and breathing heavily.

"I'm sure she's going to be fine," he assured her, "she's a tough girl, that's for sure."

"Yeah," her friend sniffed, "but I'm worried. I've never seen her so...weak."

Slowly, Emily's hazel eyes fluttered open. She saw the hazy figures of Jayden and Twilight over her, and felt guilt roll over her. They were going to be in such danger because of her.

"Are you alright?" he asked her, concern reflecting in his deep eyes.

"I..." she nodded.

"Oh, Em!" Twilight embraced her, "I was so worried! What happened?"

"Master X wanted you and the other Dark Rangers to come so he could use your power to fill the river," she explained, tears coming to her eyes.

"Well, he'll never get us," Jayden declared, "we're safe here."

Emily broke down crying. Jayden and Twilight looked at each other, perplexed and concerned on a number of levels. When she had calmed down, Twilight sat on her bed edge.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

"I...I told him where we were and I told him I'd let him in!" she sputtered, "because he would let all the moogers loose and drown me in the Sanzu!"

She wept until she ran out of tears.

"Em," Jayden said carefully, "Master X couldn't let them all loose."

"Why not?" she sniffed.

"He's not powerful enough," he explained, "and if he was, he'd destroy himself in the process. And the Sanzu isn't high enough to drown you."

"But...but he's knows where we are," she began to weep again, "I've ruined everything!"

All the rangers were soon comforting her, trying to stop all her crying. Jayden saw the plan: Make her tears build the river, then flood it with dark powers.

"You have not," Starr brushed her tears away, "we'll beat him. You didn't have a choice, poor thing."

"I know," she tried to stop crying, "but...but he's too powerful."

"Not yet," Nikki held her, "it's fine, Em. We've got this, and you are really brave to jump in the gap. We owe you one, kid."

The Yellow Ranger sniffed before wiping away one last tear.

"You're right," she rose out of bed, filled with strength and confidence, "I am truly sorry."

"It's cool," Mike assured, patting her back.

She held her hand out to the others.

"Ready to beat a overgrown Nilock?" she grinned.

They all stacked up their hands and went down.

"Rangers together," they all yelled, throwing up their hands, "Samurai/Justice forever!"

Emily quickly whispered her plan as they huddled. Nodding, they all took their places. When pounding on the gate door occurred, Emily went on out. Her face was looking like she'd been crying this entire time, and her clothes were wrinkled.

"Come on in," she said in a voice barely above a whisper to the evil master.

"With pleasure," he stepped in.

"Right in here," she led him inside to the living room.

Starr, Twilight, and Nikki were all playing the Zord game. Looking up, Twilight screamed. "Master Xandred!"

"The one and the same," he chuckled as a gap opened up.

The three girls screamed in terror as they were sucked in. The Samurai rangers rushed in and gasped.

"Master Xandred," Jayden snarled, "Emily, what's going on?"

"I...I brought him here," she filled her eyes with warm tears, "I didn't...he..."

"Get out of here," Wesley snarled, pulling his samuraizer.

"I got what I wanted," Master X headed for the door, "I hope you are all good swimmers in Nilock infested waters."

With that, he was gone.

"They took The Dark Rangers!" Emily wailed.

"We'll rescue them," Mia declared.

"Great," she sighed, "what's the plan?"

"You get out, too," Antonio snarled, "you are working with him."

"What?" she cried, "no, I'm not!"

"Oh, yeah?" Mike retorted, "you brought him here!"

"Get out," Kevin demanded, them all bringing out their samuraizers.

Sobbing, Emily rushed outside. Master X had noticed the fight, and he was out there with her.

"Did you get it?" he asked her.

"Yes," she held up a sheet of paper, "this has the sealing power on it. Let's go, father."
