Chapter Two : Awake
Mike woke up in a cold metal cell and saw an unconscious Kevin next to him. He looked around and noticed a long hallway, and on the other side what looked like other cells. He saw a cell where an unconscious Emily and Mia lay. He heard something moving, and turned around to see Kevin stirring.
"Hey, Kevin. Wake up!" Mike said while shaking Kevin.
"Huuh? What? Where are we?" Kevin asked groggily.
"I don't know. I was hoping you might have an idea." Mike said.
"No clue… Wait, where are Emily, Mia, and Jayden?" Kevin asked, now more awake then before.
"Were over here! Or atleast Emily and I are." Mia told them.
"Then where's Jayden?" Mike asked.
"Did anyone even see him get taken?" Mia asked.
"I know I was the last one to be taken, and Jayden wasn't with us at that point." said Kevin.
Suddenly a hooded figure walked in front of the two cells. He looked at the girls' cage and smiled. He then looked in the boys' cage and his smile widened. "I see my captives are awake. Or atleast most of them are."
"Who are you? What do you want with us?" Mike asked him.
"I want nothing from you. All I want is for the red ranger to duel me. You are here only to make him so angry, that I will get the ultimate duel." The figure replied.
"I knew I recognized you. Let us go Dekker!" Mike screamed.
"Hah. Not until I get my duel!" Dekker said.
Dekker walked out of the room. Mike sat back down on the cold cement floor. He started to think, what if Jayden didn't come to save them. What if he was a captive forever?
***Taken***
Jayden was sitting on the couch re-watching the Nighlock attack on the news. If only he knew where they were being held captive. He wondered why he was left alone. He couldn't stop thinking about Emily. All he wanted to do was keep her safe, and now she was in the hands of a Nighlock. As he was thinking Mentor Ji was trying to locate the kidnapped rangers. They had their samuraizers, but they were turned off. He couldn't get an exact location, but he knew they were somewhere in the city. Even though the Nighlock had disappeared in a gap, he wasn't in the Netherworld. That was the only good news he had.
"Jayden, I was thinking, maybe this isn't Master Xandred's doing. Maybe it's someone else we know. For all we know it could be a Nighlock who came back and swore vengeance on the rangers and recruited more Nighlock to help him." Ji said hopefully.
"I don't know Ji, I doubt it's a Nighlock we've already defeated." Jayden said sadly.
"Well it's possible. But we have to find the other rangers. We don't know when another Nighlock will attack. And as strong as you are, you cant beat a Nighlock alone." Ji said.
"I know Ji, but I think Master Xandred will lay off for awhile." Jayden replied.
"You better hope so Jayden" Ji said.
***Taken***
Emily woke up in a cold metal cell. She sat up and saw Mia was there with her. She turned and saw another cell with Mike and Kevin in it, but no Jayden. She was about to call his name when Mia stopped talking with Mike and Kevin to see her awake.
"Oh my gosh! Em, I thought you were never gonna wake up!" Mia said while giving her friend a hug.
"Where are we?" Emily asked sleepily.
"I don't know. Dekker kidnapped us and put us in these cells." Mia said.
"Where's Jayden?" Emily asked.
"At home. Dekker wants the 'ultimate duel' and kidnapped us so he could duel Jayden. He said we cant go home until he has his duel." Mia replied.
"Is Emily finally awake?" Mike asked from his cell across the room.
"Yeah, she's awake. We're all good." Mia reassured him.
"We need to find a way out of here!" said Kevin.
Mike began searching around the cell looking for anything they could use to escape. Kevin noticed what he was doing and started to help. Mia watched them and figured they were looking for a way to escape, and began searching in her and Emily's cell. Above Emily, who was now sleeping again, was a small barred window. Only big enough for maybe Emily to get through, without the bars. But with the bars no one could get out, not even a child could get through.
"Hey guys, there's a window over here. But it's barred, I doubt it'll help much." Mia told the guys.
"You never know, atleast if the bars somehow broke we know you and Emily could get outta here alive. And besides, now we know if it's day or night." Kevin told her.
Since it was night time, the rangers all fell asleep in their cold metal cells. They weren't so cold with the few blankets on the floor, but there was no heating or air. They were all dreaming of ways they could try and escape. Or they were dreaming of what they would do if they even escape.
***Taken***
Jayden and Mentor Ji were still trying to locate the lost rangers, and thinking of who might have wanted to kidnap them. But the most puzzling question was, why would they leave Jayden? Why would they leave him alone when he was the leader, he had the sealing symbol, he was wanted dead. Jayden's thoughts were interrupted when Mentor Ji called over to him.
"Jayden, I think it's time for you to get some rest. We have a big day of searching tomorrow. I don't want you totally exhausted if we find them and you need to fight off a Nighlock." Ji said.
"I can't sleep knowing my team is out there somewhere. Not knowing what is happening to them, or if they're still even alive." Jayden replied.
"I know it's hard Jayden, but try and get some sleep, please." Ji begged.
"Okay. But promise me we'll find them" Jayden said reluctantly.
"I promise we'll find them. And I will do all I can to find them. Now go get some sleep." Ji said.
"Goodnight Ji." Jayden said as he walked off towards his room.
