House of Power Rangers

Chapter 2: House of Training

Once the rangers arrived at the house after their previous battle they were introduced to Ji, their guardian and mentor. He explained to the team that the Nighlok live in the Netherworld. They come out to the human world through gaps to cause sadness, pain and misery. The tears and fear from these emotions is what causes the Sanzu river to rise. They need it to flood into the human world so they can stay and terrorise the people while Master Xandred takes over. At the moment, they can't stay out for too long or they start drying out. The job of the rangers is to destroy them when they're out here, to prevent them from doing too much destruction.

Mentor Ji had the rangers practice their samurai symbols before any physical training. True Samurais should be able to perfect their samurai symbols. The kanji had to be drawn with precision; even a stroke in the wrong direction could make the whole thing wrong. This is how the rangers found themselves in the training court at the back of the house painting on easels. Naturally, the red ranger finished first, the kanji setting his page as well as the brush alight. Nina followed a few moments later, sparks flying from her page once the last stroke is made.

"Very well done, Nina," Mentor Ji comments as she smiles. Kevin is next, the kanji splashing water in face, shocking him. As he wipes the water from his face, the other blonde next to him finishes hers unfortunately causing a boulder to fall out from the page onto his foot. He yelps in pain, hobbling over to a bench with towels as she profusely apologies. A little breeze blows the pink ranger's hair back as she finishes, leaving one ranger yet to complete their symbol.

"That's it!" Mike exclaims, painting what he believes to be the final stroke, but the kanji remains as black paint on the sheet.

"Practice makes perfect, Mike," Mentor says, coming around to look at his work. "Your strokes are in the wrong order." The green ranger nods, flipping over the page for fresh sheet. He moves his hand towards the board but hesitates turning back to place a hand on Ji's shoulder.

"How about a lunch break? You'll be surprised at how well I work after a slice or two of pizza," he offers but the older man's eyes are trained on the hand on his shoulder with an unamused expression. Mike quickly withdraws his hand, turning back to the canvas with a sigh.


Nina, Jayden and Mentor Ji were the only ones who got their own bedrooms. The rooms only had two beds and Nina didn't mind being the one alone too much. While it would be nice to have people to talk to at night if she couldn't sleep it also was good for when she just wanted to think about her friends back in Anubis house or when she needed to email Eddie (she knew she would have to stop doing that so frequently soon though) which was what she was doing when she heard a knock at her door. She put down her laptop, shutting it before going over to open it.

"Have you seen Emily? She's not here," Mia asks her, slightly worried. Nina could understand the worry; being a country girl it would be strange for Emily just to walk out to enjoy the polluted air without telling anyone. Besides between what had happened with Joy, Amber, and even herself the previous couple of years missing people weren't something Nina took lightly either.

"No, I've been in here. Let's go grab the guys and we'll go look for her." She grabs behind her door for a jacket as Mia goes ahead to get the boys.


"Hey Nina!" Mike asks as she gets nearer to the group. The four of them split up to look for Emily, planning meet by the park after 20 minutes. Jayden wanted to come and help look for her too but with Ji out of the house someone had to stay behind in case of an emergency.

"Hi… were you just eating a kebab?" she asks, noticing the tub in his hand.

"Never mind that. Did you find Emily?" He responds. Nina looks at him slightly confused, glancing to her right.

"Yeah, she's actually right here. She's just invisible."

"Stupid question. Got it."

"Little bit, yeah," she laughs. "Wait, look! That's her right there." She points to the other blonde in the team, over Mike's shoulder. She's practicing with a wooden sword by a bench in the park. They run over to where she is, Nina giving her a bear hug.

"You had us all so worried!" She exclaims as she pulls away.

"Have you been practicing here this whole time?" Mia asks to which Emily nods.

"I didn't mean to worry you. I just needed to do some extra training."

"The dedication of a real samurai," Kevin muses.

"Here," Mike says, offering her the remaining kebab. "You deserve this more than I do."

"No, it's not like that. I promised my sister I'd work really hard," Emily tells them, moving over to sit by the bench, Kevin and Mia joining her while Nina and Mike sit on the grass in front of them.

"You have a sister?" Mike asks.

"Yeah, an older one. She was supposed to be the yellow ranger but about three years ago she fell really ill, so I had to take her place. I haven't been doing this as long as you guys so I know I'm not as good but I promised I would work hard," Emily explains.

"Emily, don't sell yourself short, you're so good at this," Mia tells her but Emily shakes her head.

"I'm not selling myself short. I have other talents. I can play the flute really well." She smiles.

"I'd love to hear you play sometime," Nina tells her.

"I would too but let's get back for now. Jayden might need us soon," Kevin says getting up from the bench. The other rangers follow suit, getting up from their places to begin heading back to the house.


The rangers are spread out around the house when a sudden alarm gets all their attention. They group together in the living room where the lights flash red.

"What is that?" Emily asks the group around her.

"That's the gap sensor," Jayden informs them, entering the room. He taps what the others thought was just a table and a map of the city appears as well as turning off the alarm. "It's designed to go off whenever a Nighlok enters the human world."

"That's so cool!" Mike exclaims moving closer.

"So where is it?" Kevin asks leaning forward to get a better look at the map.

"City hall. Rangers let's go!" Jayden instructs running out, his team following close behind.

"That's enough!" Jayden yells out from the top of the steps. The rangers morphed on their way there to avoid being seen by civilians.

"Rangers! You took your time. My name's Scorpionic and I've been wanting to test out my new toy for weeks!" The Nighlok, Scorpionic, exclaims excitedly.

"You'll be waiting a lot longer if we can help it!" Mike calls back but Scorpionic just laughs.

"You can't. Moogers!" A large crowd of moogers dressed in yellow appear out of a gap.

"You guys take care of the moogers, I'll take the Nighlok," Jayden tells the team. They all nod, splitting to run in different directions pulling out their spin swords. They each handle their own group, but it gets difficult as the more moogers they destroy the more that seem to appear. Jayden is handling Scorpionic but it's quite hard to get a hit when the Nighlok keeps trying to perform his special move. Now, as a ranger, he's been training for most of his life to be attentive to his surroundings, so when he sees Emily's earth slicer hurtling towards him, he dodges it with ease.

"Jayden!" Emily yells running over to her leader. "I'm so sorry! I thought it was going to come back to me." However, this slight pause gives Scorpionic just the distraction he needs to use his Whirlwind Scythe Attack towards Jayden.

"No!" The other rangers shout running over when they see Emily standing to protect their leader. They arrive just in time to stand with her and take some of the hit too sending them all flying back into a wall, de-morphed.

"One of you guys take that little boy to safety," Jayden groans pointing to a little boy hiding under a table, surrounded by rubble, with his eyes shut. The red ranger struggles to get up but manages to do so, morphing again. "I'll take care of the Nighlok."

The other rangers stay down, trying to get up but feeling so weak.

"Guys come on! We can do this. I'll help the kid," Nina says slowly managing to stand, encouraging her teammates to do so too. "You guys go help Jayden." The rangers go and morph while Nina runs in the opposite direction from them.

"Hey," she says to the kid, crouching down by the rubble near the table. There's a hole where she can see the kid through. "What's your name?"

"Henry," he sniffles.

"Hi, Henry, that a great name," she smiles fondly, trying not to show too much pain; there are definitely going to be bruises once they get back. "My name's Nina and I'm here to help you okay?" The boy looks up from his knees, his eyes red.

"But there's a scary monster out there! I don't want it to eat me. I want my mum," he whispers beginning to cry again as he reaches the end of his sentence.

"No don't cry," she soothes. She points to where the other rangers are. "Look, the Power Rangers are dealing with the scary monsters so he can't hurt anyone anymore okay."

"They look so cool and brave!" He smiles.

"They do don't they," she replies, proud of her teammates. "I think they need your help though."

"My help?" He gasps awestruck.

"Specifically, you Henry. You're the only one who can do this right now but you're going to have to be just as brave as them," she nods. "Are you up for it?" He nods enthusiastically. "Great! Here's what we're going to do. I'm going to help you out of there and we're going to go find your parents but as soon as you get back and the Nigh- monster is gone you have a really important job. Everyone else that was here is probably going to be really scared because of it so will have to show them that they should be brave. We'll need to fix this place all together and we have the power rangers who will protect us too so we shouldn't be scared. We need as many people as we can get to help. Do you think you can do that?" She really hoped he didn't hear her almost slip up.
"I can do it!" He exclaims.

"They'll be so grateful!" She tells him, putting out her hand for him to take. They run in the opposite direction from where the rangers are fighting, taking the long way around to the direction Henry saw his parents go in. It doesn't take them too long to find them.

"Henry!" A woman Nina assumes to be his mother exclaims, running over with her husband in tow.

"Where did you go? We were so worried!" She exclaims, as she and her husband kneel to engulf the boy in a hug.

"I'm okay now but I specifificaly, have a special job from the power rangers, and I have to start right away," He says pulling away from the people he was crying for a few minutes ago. Nina can't help but smile at his confident mispronunciation.

"You," the man says standing up. "You saved our son!" Him and his wife hug Nina slightly too tight.

"Thank you so much!"

"It was the right thing to do. I'm just glad we found you," she replies as they pull away, looking down at their son who was tapping on their backs.

"Come on! The power rangers need me to tell everyone to be brave!" He begins pulling his parents away but suddenly stops after two steps. He turns back and runs to hug Nina. She kneels to make the hug less awkward due to the height difference.

"Thank you, Nina. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have known what the power rangers need to do, and I wouldn't be very brave."

"Yes, you would've," she smiles pulling away from the hug, putting her hands on his shoulders. "You're a brave kid, Henry. Now go on. I believe you have a job to do." He hugs her one more time before walking off with his parents. Nina begins walking away, morphing and running back to her teammates once she gets back around a corner. She arrives just in time. The Nighlok is nowhere to be seen but the other morphed rangers suddenly stopped celebrating when they heard the rumbling.

"We're not done yet guys," Jayden says as the Nighlok appears in its enlarged form.

"Let's do this!" Mike exclaims, adrenaline pumping.


"Samurai rangers, victory is ours," Jayden smiles to his team as the Nighlok explodes behind them. The rangers struggled to form their megazord at first; the zords stood on top of each other, just waiting to be knocked over, then when they tried again, they accidentally left Jayden out. They eventually did manage to successfully build their megazord, defeating Scorpionic.

"Guys come on let's hurry home! I wanna show you something," Mike tells the team, beginning to run ahead, causing the others to follow him, reaching the Shiba house much sooner than planned.

"Mike, what was it you wanted to show us?" Emily asks as they walk down the steps.

"Right! I've been working on my Samurai symbol," he says putting out his samuraizer. "Watch this." He draws a symbol in the air and once he hits it to activate it, green confetti starts to fall from the ceiling. The other rangers clap and cheer for him to which he begins dancing. He suddenly stops looking at his teammates. "So, I'm just going to dance by myself?" He asks incredulously. "Come on! Let's celebrate." He hits play on a radio and music begins to play as the team celebrates in the still falling confetti.

"You know, we make a pretty good team," Nina comments jumping around with her friends.

"The best!" Mike exclaims. The rangers stayed celebrating and dancing long after the confetti stopped.

And that's chapter two done! I only got one reply so thank you for that sneakysniper334 because that was all I needed. I'm going to try and update this story every Tuesday and Friday, but I'll try to let you know if I might miss a day. Once again, thanks for reading
