A/N: What's up fellow readers I am back with another chapter in this series. I have not yet figured out on when Troy will return but he will be back in the series. Until then, keep reading and continue to support.
Chapter 25: Shell Game
In the backyard of the Shiba House, Mike and Kevin were practicing their sword skills by slicing up fruits. Emily was painting to practice her symbol power.
"Kev, watch this" Mike tossed a coconut up and sliced it in half. Kevin just smiled.
"Ha, watch this man" Kevin threw up a watermelon and then sliced into a bunch of slices. He caught two of them and handed one to Mike who took it. Emily released the boulder and then it started rolling to the green and blue Rangers.
"Guys watch out" She warned to them. The two then pulled out their swords and tried to hold back the boulder by trying to slice it. They realized quickly that it wouldn't work so they got out of the way and the boulder would then hit the wall and halt to a stop.
"I'm sorry guys" Emily said. Mike just patted her on the shoulder.
"No worries Em" Mike said and then looked at his sword.
"Man, if our spin swords could cut boulders like how Deker's did man that would be insane." Mike said.
"Just be glad that we haven't faced a Nighlok that has this kind of armor" Kevin responded.
"Yeah you're right, by the way why did you tell Jayden to go grocery shopping with Mia usually it's you"
"I love my girlfriend and all but I don't want to know what she's cooking tonight." Mike and Emily laughed at that statement.
"Yeah I guess I can understand."
At the grocery store, Jayden was at the front waiting for Mia to finish paying. She finishes and walks toward Jayden.
"Hey, can I hold that for you" Jayden asks which Mia accepts and Jayden looks into it.
"Broccoli, chocolate sauce, and asparagus. Interesting choices there"
"Yup, with the right ingredients I can cook something perfect as well"
"Tell that to the paramedics" Jayden mumbled to himself.
"Huh" Mia said.
"Oh nothing" Mia looked at him a little longer but decided to discontinue it.
"Uh excuse me sir, you dropped this" a voice said behind them. Jayden turned around and then sees a beautiful brunette woman in the uniform of the grocery store. Jayden couldn't help but stare at her hazel eyes. Mia then shook his arm to get him back to reality. It was Jayden's Samuraizer.
"Oh uh thanks um" Jayden said looking for a name tag.
"It's Caitlyn Wave"
"Yeah thank you Caitlyn."
"No problem now, have a good day you two uh sir what's your name.
"I'm Jayden Shiba and this is my friend Mia."
"Nice to meet you as well" Caitlyn said to Mia who smiled in response.
"Anyways here Jayden" She gives him a slip of paper.
"Call me" She winks and then walks back to the store. Jayden just stood their star struck while Mia just smirked.
"Someone is in love" Mia said teasing.
"Haha shut up" He said as they continued walking. Jayden suddenly got a call from Mentor.
"Alright we will be there" Jayden said after he hangs up.
"Nighlok, let's get going" Mia nodded and they ran to where the Nighlok was located.
Meanwhile, Antonio was just listening to music while fishing unaware that his Samuraizer was ringing because it was in the bag and not his pocket.
After the battle, the group was in the commons room wondering what to do about this Nighlok with the really hard shell.
"Damn Kevin, guess we would need that kind of sword strength after all" Mike said.
"Shut up haha" Kevin said while he was trying to figure out in getting rid of this armor.
"There has to be something about that armor that we can defeat it" Jayden said.
"Yeah but none of our individual attacks were even working on the armor" Emily said.
"What can we do about that" Mia said as the others wonder. Kevin then came up with an idea.
"Wait, why don't we combine our attacks together to find a way to soften up that shell and then we destroy it." Kevin suggested.
"Yeah I like that idea" Jayden said as the others agreed as well. Emily then noticed something.
"Hey uh what happened to Antonio?" Emily wondered. The others realized and also wondered what happened to the Gold Ranger.
"Holy shit, he never showed up now that I remember." Mike said.
"Don't worry, I will try to get a hold on him while you guys wait for the Nighlok." Mentor tells them. The others nodded in understanding. While they were waiting, Mia decided to expose Jayden and his new interest.
"So Jayden, I see you have a thing for the grocery store girl today." Jayden then blushed a little while the others gasped in shock.
"No freaking way" Kevin said.
"Jayden is thinking of something other than Samurai" Mike said.
"Oh my god it's so cute I love it." Emily said while squealing. Jayden just shook his head.
"It was definitely not like that" Jayden said trying to deny it.
"Oh please, you were on a daze when she was looking at you" Mia said. Jayden dropped his head a little after hearing Emily squeal even more.
"Oh my god Jayden is falling"
"Ok, I do think she's cute but c'mon I don't think it would happen I mean she was at the grocery store." Jayden said.
"She's giving you a chance Jayden, I mean she did give you her number" The others widened their eyes at that statement.
"Damn dude, you didn't even try" Mike said.
"That's too easy man" Kevin said.
"Whatever guys" Jayden said.
"It's ok to fall in love Jayden" Emily said.
"Look it's not love just an interest"
"Oh so you do have an interest" Mia said.
"Yes" Jayden admitted. He couldn't deny it he had something for this grocery stop girl. He liked her name as well, Caitlyn. He likes it.
The gap sensor goes off and Jayden sighs in relief knowing that they're going to drop it now.
"Alright but before we go, I think Kevin should hold onto this since he came up with the plan" Jayden pulled out the Black Box and handed it to Kevin.
"Do you really think so" Kevin said which Jayden just nods. Kevin smiles and takes it from Jayden.
"I won't let you down"
"I know now let's get going" They ran out of the Shiba House and morphed while running. Mentor on the other hand, was still struggling in contacting Antonio.
"Where can that guy be" Mentor says to himself. Unknowingly, Antonio was just chilling and still fishing. His music is removing the sound his phone is making from Mentor's calls.
"Ah just another good day of fishing" Antonio says as he continues not knowing of what is going on with the Nighlok.
After the battle
The plan that Kevin made worked to perfection and it turns out that without the shell, the Nighlok is pretty much nothing of a big deal.
"Man who knew that he was nothing without the shell." Kevin said.
"I can tell by how cocky he was with that shell." Jayden said. They then notice Mia leaving again.
"Hey where are you going?" Kevin asks her. Mia then turns around.
"I have to go back to the grocery store because I completely lost my groceries because of that Nighlok." Jayden then stood up.
"Hey Mia, do you mind if I get it for you I just need the list." Mia smiles and then Kevin smiles as well.
"I wonder why he wants to go shopping for" Kevin wonders.
"I kind of got to get stuff on my own as well." Jayden said with a smirk.
"Aw I knew you had it in you haha" Mia said as she gives him the list.
"Thanks" Jayden said as he heads out. He had a huge smile on his face. Mia then sits next to Kevin and leans onto his shoulder.
"Our leader is finally getting a girl." Mia said smiling.
"Yeah he really is" Kevin responds as he puts his arm around her.
"If Emily saw this, she would be so joyous because of how she likes seeing people in love, I don't know why it's just Em being Em I guess."
"I see, where is she and Mike by the way"
"They went to go look for Antonio."
"I see."
Mike and Emily were at the bay and spotted Antonio still fishing.
"You mean he didn't notice the calls" Mike said. Emily then pointed to the Samuraizer in the bag.
"Oh I guess that explains something." Mike says as the two approaches him. Antonio turns and notice them.
"Oh hey guys" He says taking off his headphones.
"Antonio, have you checked your Samuraizer today" Antonio widens his eyes and then he looks at his Samuraizer to see around 30 missed calls from Mentor.
"Oh crap, did I miss anything"
"Oh nothing really" Emily said but she was smiling at Mike who smiled back as they walked away. Antonio wasn't buying it and followed them trying to get an answer.
Back at the grocery store, Jayden got most of the groceries but then suddenly gets a surprise.
"Oh Jayden, you're back" Jayden was startled but sees Caitlyn standing there.
"Oh Caitlyn"
"Did I scare you" She said teasingly.
"No just startled"
"I see say weren't you here earlier"
"Yeah but my friend forgot a couple things"
"I see well if you need anything I'll be here" She walks away but Jayden then stops her.
"Hey are you busy after this"
"I finish my shift in 2 hours why"
"Well, there was this Samurai movie coming up and I was wondering if you wanted to go see it tonight" Her eyes widened.
"Oh my god I'd love to I am so into anything about Samurai"
"Really well so do I"
"Awesome, so I'll see you tonight"
"Yeah just text me your address so I can go get you"
"Sweet ok I got to get back to work now bye." She walks away.
"This will be a good night" Jayden said as he smiles.
