Chapter 11- At the Shiba house
Antonio was in a state of shock. He was confused about how to tell and warn the others. Though they were Samurai Rangers but still, the sudden news would affect everyone badly. He released a deep breath and looked to his side and saw Emily's innocent face.
He then looked down towards his hands. Should he tell Emily already? She was looking so peaceful and carefree, sleeping. It wasn't good for her to know this , atleast at this moment. Then he again glanced at Emily and stood up from his chair. He went to Emily's side and crouched beside her. He then looked at her and pursed his lips. What would Jayden have done if he would have been there in his place? Antonio knew that Jayden would have much easily handled the situation, Emily is close to him and he is the leader too. He knows how to make a quick decision in situations like this. But he was too much of a fool to refuse coming to Kagoshima.
Now it was all on Antonio to decide what to do, and that too quick because his friends and Ji were out there carefree in the Shiba House. They were definitely not expecting Mike to be there. Antonio again took a deep breath closing his eyes for a second and rubbing his temples. He then decided that he must do the most difficult task and take the most difficult step, tell Emily about it.
"Emily! Wake up!", he said sitting near her. But Emily did not respond. She was in deep sleep.
"Em?", he said again using her nickname.
Emily stirred slightly and rubbed her eyes and said in a sleepy voice,"Jay?"
"No Emily, it's me Antonio"
"Oh, sorry, it's just that my nickname made me think that it was Jayden", she said sadly and Antonio felt pity on her.
Emily was now up and sitting on the bed looking at Antonio's worried face. She knew something was wrong. Was Mike there? No, No way!
"What happened Antonio?", she asked carefully and Antonio again met her gaze. It hid so much pain, sadness and internal suffering that he could not find the courage to say everything straightforward. Why can't Jayden be here?
"Huh...Emily...actually..", he trailed off.
"What? Is Mike here?", she asked now in panic.
"No, no, Mike is not here but somewhere else", Antonio said very carefully not to freak her out more.
"Where?", Emily asked horrified.
"Um...first you promise me you won't panic", said Antonio.
"Promise, but tell me where he is", she said now worried.
"Panorama City", Antonio said closing his eyes and looking down. He expected Emily to shout, to shriek in horror, to grow more and more panicky, to shower him with questions or the worse, to cry but nothing of that type happened. He was waiting to tolerate an uncontrolled reaction but nothing came. He very slowly opened his eyes to see her but she was not there. Antonio's head jerked up to see where she was when he noticed her at the balcony. He rushed outside, worried that she was gonna definitely jump and shouted,"Emily! Don't!"
"What?", she asked confused turning around with one hand on the phone on her ear.
"Don't jump!", he shouted panting.
"I am not jumping, why on earth will I?", she said confused.
"What are you doing then?", he asked now double-confused.
"Calling Ji to inform him", she shrugged signalling at the phone.
"Oh-okay", Antonio smiled ,"I will call Jayden"
Emily nodded and smiled before turning back again and continuing on the call while Antonio came inside. He shook his head. No way in hell can he ever understand Emily completely. She was just like Jayden in these situations, always doing what is not expected. One moment she is so fragile as if she would break on a single touch and the other moment she acts so smartly and bravely that one actually doubts if she has bipolar disorder or not.
He shrugged it off and dialed Jayden's samuraizer. But he didn't pick it up. Where was he? Antonio tried again but no answer.
"Did Jay pick up?", Emily asked from the balcony.
"No!", Antonio replied back.
She then turned around again and after finishing her talk came inside. She sat down on the bed and sighed.
"They are gonna be okay, right?", she asked Antonio who was sitting on a nearby chair.
"Of course , they will be fine, at least they are on alert", he replied.
"Ji said that Jayden is with Daisuke at the Tengen Gate, maybe some important stuff, that's why he didn't pick up, I mean what other reason can it be?"
"Yeah, you are right"
"He didn't meet Mike, did he?"
"Emily, calm down, Jayden would be safe!", he said when he noticed that all these sentences were escaping Emily's mouth because she was in panic.
"Hope so", she said looking down.
"I can never understand you both, just hours ago you shouted like you hated him the most and now you are here growing red in panic because he didn't pick up the phone", he said amused.
"Shut up Antonio, no matter if I am angry or not, it's our duty to warn him", she said blushing and Antonio laughed.
"Don't worry, they'll be okay, maybe Mike would be normal when he comes back here again"
"Hope so, and now you can sleep, I don't feel like sleeping anymore", said Emily though her mind was somewhere else.
"Emily, don't be afraid, it's all gonna be okay!", said Antonio worried.
"It's okay Antonio, I am not afraid, just worried, you can sleep, I will sit for some time I guess", she smiled and Antonio nodded before stretching on the bed and drifting into sleep.
When Emily saw that Antonio was fast asleep she smirked. It was time to put her plan into action now.
Ji and the others were in the living room planning on how to confront Mike. Emily has described the disguise Mike was in, the fake beard and the fake moustache and his clothes as well and hopefully he would be the same if he decides to come to the Shiba House.
"Ji, I guess we should go search for him", Kevin suggested.
"Yeah, I mean what's the use of sitting here and wondering if he would come or not?", said Mia agreeing with Kevin.
"No children, we just have you two and Jayden if there is any nighlock attack in the area. If I send you out there, there is a slight chance that you won't face danger. And if, by any means, you two are also captured and turned into whatever Mike is now, then the city would be the most vulnerable. I don't think Xandred would wait to attack in such a situation", Ji said disagreeing with the idea of sending Mia and Kevin out in search of Mike.
"Well, in that case, we will have to wait I guess", said Kevin while Mia just nodded agreeing.
Suddenly Ji's samuraizer went off and he saw that it was Jayden. He picked it up.
(Jayden/ Ji)
"Hello?"
"Ji?"
"Jayden, where are you?"
"The Tengen Gate, what happened?"
"Antonio tried calling you, you didn't pick up?"
"Yeah, I was busy, what's the matter?"
After this Ji explained to him what all was told by Emily and warned him to be aware and cautious, though the Tengen Gate was far away from the Panorama city but still, precaution is better than cure.
"Okay Jayden?"
"Yes Ji, I will be fine, you all take care!"
"We will"
With this Ji hung up and told Mia and Kevin that Jayden was at the Tengen gate only and currently was safe. No potential threat there.
"I will bring something to eat", said Ji and Mia and Kevin nodded. But as Ji was about to rise they heard a loud crashing noise from one of the rooms in the Shiba house. They all grew alert and stood up.
"I guess our guest is here", whispered Kevin.
"Be careful", whispered Ji as Mia and Kevin took out their samuraizers and holding them in one of their hands slowly walked towards the source of the noise.
Ji followed them holding his stick in his hand. They heard several noises, groans, cry, laugh and other wild noises and they discovered that the source of this noise was Jayden's room.
They went to the room with the red Fire symbol on it, their leader's room and before opening it armed themselves with their spin swords. They opened the door and their guesses were true. In front of them was standing Mike, well the evil version of Mike, eyes red and everything else same as described by Emily, with the thirst of fight in his eyes, the want of death and the fire of some revenge burning though his entire body.
"Mike?", asked Mia.
"Mike stop!", said Ji.
"What are you all saying? Who is Mike?", he asked with the evil smirk on.
"You are Mike!", shouted Kevin.
"I am not Mike, where's her room?", he asked irritated.
"Who's room?", asked Mia.
"The blonde ones", he replied and groaned.
"Emily", Ji whispered.
"Back off!", shouted Kevin once again.
"If you want to get killed along with her, come on, battle me, otherwise tell me where her room is?", Mike snapped back.
"You aren't going to her room, Mike snap out of it!", Mia shouted.
"Shut up!", said Mike as he launched himself to attack her.
Mia dodged the attack and caught hold of Mike's arm and he groaned as her hands made contact with the wound Emily's attack had made earlier and fresh blood came out of it. He slapped Mia very hard on the face with his free hand and then attacked Kevin. Kevin escaped his grip and caught hold of his shoulders to stable him but he grew more violent and kicked Kevin in the stomach. Kevin groaned in pain and Mia attacked Mike from behind knocking him on the ground. Mike quickly got up and caught hold of her hand bringing it on her back and Mia let out a shriek of pain. Ji tried to attack Mike as well but was thrown aside by him. Kevin tried to make a symbol to knock Mike out but all in vain. Mike very easily escaped the impact area of the symbol and sent Kevin flying sideways hitting the wall and holding his shoulder which probably cracked. Meanwhile Mia had drawn out her samuraizer and had just activated a symbol which was flying in Mike's direction when Mike noticed it and he immediately did a cartwheel and jumped out of the window, jumping over the wall of the Shiba house and running into the woods.
