Chapter 10: House of Arrivals
"Okay, now the universe is just saying 'no' to me," Nina whines while the others laugh at her. She had been very strict with herself on time, waking up earlier than the others to squeeze in schoolwork so she could train with them later in the morning. This also usually resulted in her going to bed later than the others. Of course, it was hard, but she was the one who wanted it all, so she made herself put in the work but when the gap sensor went off without reason…
"Aww it's alright Neens," Mike laughs. "I'm sure you'll have time when we get back. Coming all the way over here for no reason must count as our morning training, right?"
"No way, Mike," Kevin scolds. "As a samurai, we must always be ready. If anything, this is more reason to train once we get back." This sentence starts a playful argument across the whole team.
"Is that an arrow?" Nina asks, as the team approaches the Shiba house. She run towards, without waiting for a reply from any of her teammates. "Whoa, this really smells like fish!" She steps back a bit, shocked by the sudden smell before grabbing the arrow, which has a tag attached.
"See you soon? What does that mean?" She asks turning to Jayden. "Are we expecting anyone?"
"Not that I'm aware of…"
Later that same day, the ranger found themselves morphed in a forest battling a Nighlok called Vulpes. While investigating what set off the gap sensor Emily and Mike were able to come across a fisherman whose handwriting matched that of the writing on the arrow. Jayden on the other hand had stayed at home, trying to what presence was in the house. No one else knew what he was talking about, but he seemed so sure, so they left him to figure it out. It turned out that what he was sensing was in fact the Nighlok they were currently facing; he was trying to figure out was the sealing symbol was by using a mirror (which Jayden broke) as his medium. Unfortunately, the rangers were struggling to take out the Nighlok and moogers. They seemed to be getting stronger! So much stronger that the rangers ended up demorphing.
"Guys, how are we going to do this?" Mike asked just as the fisherman guy from earlier appeared, running down the pathway. However, he doesn't stop to talk to them, he just simply pulls out a morpher, morphing into the gold ranger! He takes out the moogers with blinding speed, surprising even Vulpes. It doesn't take too long before he is able to defeat the Nighlok even in his enlarged form! It's when the Nighlok is defeated that they get time to talk to this mysterious gold ranger.
"That was amazing!" Mia exclaims as he walks towards them still morphed.
"Where did you come from?" Nina asks in awe.
"Who are you?" Jayden asks suspiciously. The gold ranger laughs before dropping his morph.
"Don't tell me you've forgotten about me?"
"What? Do you know him?" Emily asks, turning to Jayden who seems to be in shock like the rest of them. Just a different kind.
"Actually, yeah. I do. This is Antonio Garcia. He was my best friend."
Back the Shiba mansion, Antonio and most of the other rangers begin pitching a case of why he should join the Samurai team. Antonio and Jayden were childhood friends but when Antonio had to move away Jayden gave him the Octozord, against Ji's wishes. What they didn't know is that since then Antonio had been training himself to be a Samurai.
"I thought the zords could only understand people with Samurai heritage," Emily says.
"That's why I built my morpher. I found a broken cell phone and figured I could communicate with it through text," Antonio explains.
"Wait, you built your morpher from a broken cell phone?" Nina asks to which he nods.
While this was very impressive, Mentor still decided to confiscate Antonio's morpher, claiming that he lacks discipline and true samurai training, Jayden ultimately agreeing with him.
After Antonio left the house quite upset, the rangers found themselves called to battle by a Nighlok called Steeleto. It turns out that Vulpes was his best friend and he has no come to avenge him. Once again, the rangers struggle to defeat the Nighlok, only getting away because Steeleto begin to dry up. On their way back to the Shiba mansion the rangers, minus Jayden and Nina unanimously decide that Nina should be the one to talk to Jayden about Antonio.
"You guys, I don't-" she begins but they push her forwards, so she walks into him, almost tripping.
"Whoa, Nina are you alright?" He asks, helping her steady herself.
"Yeah sorry about that," she says glaring back at the others which doesn't go unnoticed by Jayden. He looks back confused but doesn't say anything, even when the Mike looks away very obviously.
"So, about Antonio," she says but Jayden's already shaking his head. "Wait, wait just hear me out." He exhales lightly before looking at her, waiting for her to continue. "I know that he wasn't trained like the rest of us and maybe he doesn't know as much as the rest of us and as your friend, you would want to protect him," she begins. "But Jayden, look at what happened yesterday and today and possibly tomorrow too. The Nighlok are getting stronger every day and yeah, we're trying, and we will get stronger too but Antonio's willing to help us. He's proven he is capable, and we need all the help we can get if we're going to defeat Master Xandred and all the Nighlok before him. We can train him too. It won't be easy, but he's shown he wants to help us to he'll have to put in the work. Please Jayden, we need him." He doesn't say anything at first, they just continue walk then he turns around.
"Mike, Emily, do you guys remember where you found Antonio the first time?"
"Yeah, he was by the pier," Emily tells him.
"Could you guys go and see if you can find him there now. Tell him to come to the house."
"Are you serious?" Mike asks and Jayden nods. "Alright! We're on it!"
Antonio was slightly reluctant at first, but he eventually gave in when the gap sensor went off again. Mentor gave him, his morpher back and he went and helped the team defeat Steeleto, even merging the Octozord with the megazord! Once they got home, they celebrated his arrival to the team as the seventh samurai by having a barbeque in the back, where Antonio barbequed some fish, he had caught for them team.
Chapter ten yay! Finally reaching double digits! I know, I know this chapter was super short, but I couldn't change too much since I had to bring in Antonio and I couldn't think of what to do. Anyways, the next chapter is longer than this anyways. I think it's longer than the usual length but of course, thanks for reading
