A/N: Hey guys, I am so sorry for the delay. I had to deal with finals for the week and then I was taking some time off to enjoy a part of my break but now I am back for another chapter and hope everyone had a happy holiday. Now on to the next chapter.
Chapter 37: Stroke of Fate
Previously on Power Rangers Samurai: REMIX
The Rangers confront Serrator on his plan to crack the world. We are now at the part where Troy and Serrator are confronting each other while the other Rangers are still knocked back from the explosions of the purple orbs
Troy and Serrator still looking at each other after what is going on. Troy just looked all around the area to see how this is affecting the place and knew that this was bad.
"Damn you Serrator" Troy said gritting his teeth.
"Oh, but it seems that I am victorious once Deker gets up"
"What makes you think that he would even do it"
"It's simple, all that Deker wants is his sword anyways. I bet that he could care less about this pathetic world." Troy kept his cool but knew that this was a possibility.
"I know about that prophecy Silver Ranger, we shall have this battle soon"
"I'll be looking forward to it" Troy then said smirking. With that Serrator exited the area. Troy then went to go help the others who were beginning to get up. Meanwhile, Antonio was somehow in a different area Antonio got up and looked around. He then saw Deker unconscious close by to him. He didn't know what to do but then realized that his Barracuda Blade was still on him so he got up and then approached Deker. He then took out his blade and got into a pose about to strike but then something stopped him at the back out of his mind.
"No that's just not the right way" He then ran off to go find the others. Back at the Shiba house, the Rangers have all gathered up to regroup on what they have just witnessed.
"Ok so here is what we got, the six areas that Serrator activated are currently breaking the barrier between the human world and the netherworld." Troy said.
"Deker is the only one that can completely break the barrier between our worlds." Kevin then added.
"So, the only way to stop Serrator's plan is to stop Deker but what about Serrator himself?" Emily then asks.
"I can take care of Serrator but you need to find a way to convince Deker to not break this barrier." Troy responded.
"So, the only way to completely stop this is to stop Deker" Antonio couldn't take it anymore after Jayden said that so he decided to confess.
"Guys I am so sorry" He said that abruptly. The others then turned to him a little thrown off by what he said.
"Uh what do you mean Antonio" Mike then says.
"Earlier after we all got blasted back from the explosion that Serrator caused, I regained consciousness and then noticed that Deker was unconscious. I somehow still had my Barracuda Blade in hand and was about to strike him" the others seemed a little shocked except for Troy.
"But something told me not to in my head and decided to just run off" The others stood there for a minute. Troy then decided to say something.
"You did the right thing." Antonio's eyes widened.
"Seriously" Antonio then said.
"Yeah, one of the biggest rules of being a Samurai. Never attack an unarmed opponent." Mike said.
"Don't worry about it Antonio, what you did was something all of us would've done." Jayden then followed. Antonio still doesn't seem ok with this.
"I get that you guys see this as something good, but I feel like I could've done something." He seemed frustrated and then bolted out of the room. The group was going to go after him but Ji stopped them.
"Leave him, he has things to think about and I need to talk to Troy alone" The others were a bit confused and decided to head out and follow Mentor's orders.
"So, what's up Mentor" Troy then asks Mentor.
"It's about the prophecy that was stated from the last time that Serrator and the Silver Ranger has had a clash. I just need you to be careful after last time"
"I know Mentor, last time the powers are gone but I feel more than ready to face him this time"
"And how confident are you in beating it"
"Damn confident, I mean I have a way to beat him if my plan works out"
"What's the key factor in this plan"
"It's a gamble but the others have to be able to convince Deker in not slashing the barrier wide. Keeping that barrier closed is the only way to use my plan to isolate him and myself from the others. As much as I value teamwork, I need to face him alone." Ji seemed a little thrown off by what Troy was planning. He never liked to give permission on things like this if it involved someone solo but felt that he should give Troy a chance on this one.
"Alright, but if this doesn't go to plan then you know what to do"
"I know, call for the others I got it" Troy said with a thumb up. With that, Troy got up and left with Mentor looking out of his window in the office. Troy walked out to see Kevin and Mike reading a piece of paper that looked like a sort of note.
"Uh what is going on here" Troy asks them as they hand him the note. Troy reads and it was from Antonio saying he knows what he must do.
"Shit, he's going after Deker"
"To do what" Mike wonders.
"Isn't it obvious, he's going to persuade him alone" Kevin said. Mike said oh and realized that it wasn't a good thing. To make matters worse, the gap sensor went off. Jayden and the remaining members came in.
"That has to be Serrator" Jayden said as they saw the location.
"Wait guys, Antonio is after Deker" Kevin then said. The others looked a bit shock but then kept their composure.
"So, what's the plan" Jayden then asked. The others remained silent not sure of what to do but then Troy decided to speak up.
"All of you go find Antonio and I'll go distract Serrator until you guys get there. If Deker is going over there then that means, we'll just end up meeting up anyways."
"But will you be ok" Emily asks. Tory just smirked.
"It's ok I'll be fine, now let's get going now shall we" He says as they all disperse. Troy watches them before he then heads off for Serrator.
Deker was in an area meditating. He was currently thinking if he should crack the world for his sword back. As he was thinking, he looked around and couldn't help but feel that this place was very familiar. He couldn't get a grasp on it but he had a small feeling that he was here before. He got up and headed off for Serrator when he notices Antonio standing there in front of his path. He wondered how Antonio could find him but decided to drop it.
"What do you want, Gold Ranger" he asks him.
"Listen, I know you want Urumasa back but you have to know the consequences of the barrier being cracked."
"What does that have to do with me"
"A lot, there's no point in having the sword back if everything gets destroyed in the process"
"So, what are you going to stop me then" Antonio then pulls out his Barracuda blade without morphing.
"If it means you not cracking the world then yeah" Antonio then got into a strike pose.
"Alright then, strike me right now" Deker said with his hands up to keep away from his back up sword in the handle. Antonio seemed a little thrown back by this statement.
"Wait what"
"You heard me Gold Ranger, if you really are able to then strike me down right now. You want to save the world right" Deker stood there with his hands still up. Antonio was still a little shook by what Deker said, but he shook his head and got right back into position. He was then about to strike him but then stopped realizing he just couldn't it. He then fell to his knees.
"Look I know you want your sword but can you at least show your human side and think about all of the people that are going to die if this happens. I know how Urumasa is important but please you have to find another way"
Deker lowered his hand and just shook his head in disappointment.
"See this Gold Ranger, after knowing the risks of me helping Serrator and yet you still fail to stop me even with the chance." Deker pulled out his mini dagger and then was about to strike when suddenly Mike came out of nowhere forcing Deker to jump back. The others came in following him to help Antonio.
"Antonio, are you alright" Jayden asks.
"yeah I'm ok" He responds. He then went and morphed right away. They then went into formation but then sees that Deker was walking away.
"Hey Deker where are you going" Kevin then exclaims. Deker turns and just smirks at them.
"I'm going to go get my sword what else"
"Not on our watch" Mia says. Deker couldn't help but laugh.
"Too bad, I'll meet you where Serrator is" Deker suddenly just vanished and the others didn't have enough time to react.
"Damn it he's going to Serrator" Mike said.
"C'mon let's go after him" Jayden said.
"But what if we're too late" Emily then wonders.
"We won't, if anything Troy is going to hold his own till we get there." They all began to head for wherever Serrator is.
Back with Troy, he stood face to face with a bunch of Moogers that looked like they were ready to maul him.
"So, Silver Ranger, any reason you came alone." Troy smirked a little on that.
"Nah, just my friends had to make a pit stop before coming here."
"Ah, you have guts but too bad it ends here" he then lets the Moogers loose. Troy then pulled out his sword.
"Yeah, for you" Troy began with a series of combos that was taking down Moogers one by one. The others arrived but Troy never noticed so he just continued his onslaught on the Moogers. When they arrived, all that was written on their faces was shock.
"Holy crap" Jayden.
"What in the hell" Mike and Kevin.
"Whoa" Mia and Emily.
"God damn" Antonio.
"Uh Jayden, I thought you were better than Troy" Mike then adds.
"Yeah, but that was without potential kicking in." Jayden then adds.
"So, this isn't his full" Kevin said.
"Nope"
"Damn" That was all that Kevin said. Troy did a backflip then did a spinning top slice on the last Mooger. He then turned to see the others just staring at him and he seemed a bit surprised.
"Holy shit. Where did you guys come from" He said just noticing them.
"The point where you were taking them out left and right" Mike said.
"Troy, that was amazing." Emily said impressed. Troy laughed a bit and rubbed the back of his head.
"Ah thanks, by the way where's Deker" The others widened their eyes.
"AH Deker, glad you could make it" The others turned to see Deker standing there with Serrator holding out Urumasa to him.
"Please tell me he's not taking the sword" Troy said. The others didn't respond and he had an answer already by that silence.
"well hopefully he changes his mind with slicing the barrier." Mike said in a half-jokingly matter. The others except Troy just looked at him.
"oh c'mon" Deker just looked at the barrier but suddenly decided to slash Serrator who jumped back barely able to react from it. He had a look of surprise as well. The others were shocked by this as well.
"Wow, that fucking worked" Mike said in a bit of shock.
"Deker you idiot" All Deker did was smirk.
"Honestly, you're the idiot in actually thinking that I would do that. I may be a Nighlok but remember I only wanted my sword and I could care less about destroying some stupid barrier." Serrator then had this look of anger and then pulled out his sword.
"Alright then, all of you shall die then." Serrator was ready to strike all of them when Troy suddenly ran up to him and gave a huge shove to the ground. Then Troy's right hand was glowing and soon was held to the ground which created a barrier which kept Troy and Serrator inside. The barrier was then lifted to the air. Serrator then looks around to see its just him and Troy.
"What do you have in mind Silver" He said with a hiss.
"I'm here to fulfill a prophecy." Troy said with his sword out. Serrator just smirked and did so as well.
"As you wish but first let me keep your buddies busy" From inside the barrier, Serrator summoned a bunch of giant Moogers into the city.
"Rangers, I leave this to you" Deker said before walking away. He then stopped for one last thing to say.
"And Red Ranger, I'll be waiting on our duel once again." With that, Deker leaves and the others then notice the giant Moogers.
"Looks like we got company" Jayden said.
"Wait, but what about Troy" Mia then asks.
"We want to help, but I guess now we just have to believe in him and deal with them first" Kevin then says.
"He's right, now let's go Rangers" Jayden says as they all head into their zords.
