A/N: So here we go the next chapter, hope you enjoy, and reviews are always appreciated :)
The gap sensors sounded through the house, Ji pulls up the map showing them where.
"Let's get him" says Evie.
They race through the city stopping in time to see the Nighlok attacking people.
"Hey Nighlok" calls Jayden.
He turns, "hey punch bags, you're back" he smiles.
"Go, go samurai" they call and the five of them morph.
"Hey where's your green ranger buddy? Now that is crunch time broccoli boy went bye, bye huh?" sneers the Nighlok.
"Hey you looking for me" calls Mike as he flips over them, landing in front of them.
"Mike you're back" smiles Emily.
Evie looks at Jayden and even beneath the helmet Jayden can tell she's giving him a smug smile and he nods.
"Stay back guys, I'm going to take this Nighlok alone" says Mike.
"You can't" argues Kevin.
"I'm going to try, its payback time" answers Mike before he morphs.
"Go get your daily greens" orders the Nighlok as the moogers surge forwards.
"I got some new moves, to go with my samurai groove" smirks Mike as he attacks the mooger.
"Mike" calls Kevin.
"Come on, we need to help him, before he does something stupid" says Jayden.
The others nod and surge forwards into battle.
"Some people are just slow learners" mutters Evie as she takes out some moogers activating her spin sword.
The others do the same, while they engage the moogers Mike attacks the Nighlok.
Initially it doesn't seem to go well, until Mike manages to trick the Nighlok into chasing him with his arms.
Just as his luck appears to run out Jayden appears in front of the fist blocking the hit from Mike.
But it isn't enough as the second fist comes up throwing Jayden backwards, knocking Mike out of the way in the process.
"Jayden" calls Evie as she slashes down more moogers trying to get to him.
Mike rolls to his feet and dashes forwards ducking behind the Nighlok so he gets hit in the face by his own fists.
As he tries to pull them back he finds them all tangled up.
Mike activates his spin sword and with a single hit destroys the Nighlok.
As the others dash to Mike, Evie hurries over to Jayden and helps him up, "you good?" she asks.
"I'll live" he assures.
Evie nods and they walk over to Mike, "time for round two" says Jayden as they turn and look at the Nighlok in time to see him rise to his megamonster size.
"Let me take this knucklehead down myself" says Mike.
Evie grabs his arm, "hey dumbass, this is a team effort. You've already proven yourself, now let us help you. We do this together, let us have your back" she says.
Mike looks at her and nods.
They each activate their zord.
"Time to combine" says Jayden.
Within moments they're in cockpit of the megazord.
"I've taken this as far as I can on my own" says Mike.
"Then lets finish this together" replies Jayden.
As the Nighlok attacks they block it, when that fails he used his arm stretch.
But Jayden does nothing, "what are we waiting for?" asks Mike.
"Follow my lead. And use your instincts to sense his next attack" replies Jayden.
"Are you sure?" asks Mike.
"Concentrate, trust your instincts, and we will sense his next attack" assures Jayden.
"It worked last night" answers Kevin.
"Now focus" says Evie.
Each of them calls on their training and as the arms come at them they activate their attack and the Nighlok explodes, gone for good.
"Oh yeah" smiles Evie.
"Nicely done everyone" nods Jayden.
They return to the ground their zords shrinking down as they de-morph and head back to the house.
"Well done Mike" smiles Jayden patting Mike on the shoulder.
"Yeah you were great" agrees Kevin.
"And the way you tricked that Nighlok was beyond creative" compliments Mia.
"It was cool how you used those wacky arms against him" smiles Emily as she waves her arms.
"I concur, very, very nicely done" nods Evie as she walks over and sits down next to Jayden.
"Well the truth is, I did trick him, but it wasn't enough. Actually, it was Jayden who helped defeat him. I only anticipated the attack of one of his arms. Jayden got the other one. I couldn't have done it without him" admits Mike.
"We can do anything as a team. Because it didn't occur to me about both his arms either" says Jayden standing up and he looks at Evie. "It did however occur to Evie" he smiles.
"Like you said, as a team, we can do anything" smiles Evie.
Jayden holds his hand out and the others place theirs on top of it.
"What are we, twelve?" teases Evie as she places her on top as well.
"Rangers together, samurai forever" they cheer.
Ji smiles as he looks at them, they were becoming a good team in time they would become a great one.
"So how about some pizza?" asks Mike.
"And we can get a vegetarian one for Kevin" says Evie.
"Pizza sounds good" nods Jayden.
Ji makes the call before disappearing into town to grab the food.
Evie grabs the drinks and the plates setting them up in the kitchen, Mike walks in to help as well.
"You were right today, about me being a dumbass" he admits.
"I know" nods Evie.
Mike smiles, "you don't hold back do you?" he asks.
"Nope, never have, never will. You ask me something, don't expect me to sugar coat it" replies Evie.
"Good to know" nods Mike, "I can appreciate a straight talker" he adds.
"Then we won't have any problems" smiles Evie. "But you did good today, seriously" she assures.
"Thanks, but like I said, couldn't have done it alone. And I'll try to remember that in future" says Mike.
"Good, because we are stronger together than we ever will be apart. There's a reason you were all called, because we needed a full team rather than just Jayden and me" reminds Evie.
"I'll keep that in mind" smiles Mike.
Evie just nods, "can you get the glasses" she says pointing to the cupboard.
Mike grabs them and sets them down, "Jayden said you reminded him about the Nighlok having two arms, what did he mean?" asks Mike.
"Last night, Jayden was trying to hone his senses so he could predict the Nighloks next move. He didn't think he could test the theory, so I asked Kevin for some help. And we found we could, by Jayden using a blindfold so he had to use a sense other than his eyes, while Kevin and I attacked" explains Evie.
"Wow, that's actually a really good idea" nods Mike.
"Don't sound so surprised, I'm a very multi-faceted person" answers Evie.
Mike looks at her in confusion.
"She means she's got lots of sides and skills you've yet to see" translates Jayden as he walks into the kitchen.
"So you're complicated?" asks Mike.
"No, I'm just unpredictable, and don't you forget it" she winks as she disappears out the kitchen.
Mike looks at Jayden his eyebrows raised.
"You get used to it, mostly" smiles Jayden.
"You sure?" asks Mike sceptically.
"Yeah, though like I said she can still surprise me even after knowing her since we were 8. Just go with it, I've found is a pretty good philosophy for living with Evie" smiles Jayden.
"Good to know" nods Mike with a chuckle.
Ji returns with the food and they all settle down around the table, an easy atmosphere descending as conversation flowed easily.
