Phony Bologna 7

Emily struggled against her bonds. She couldn't see anything in her chamber, and the chains were cutting into her skin and pinching. Rolling over clumsily, she felt something warm under her legs, then everywhere else. Recoiling, she scooted back in alarm.

"Who's there?" a voice mumbled near her.

"M-Mike?" she whispered. A form sat up, and it got close to her.

"Emily?" it mumbled.

"Mike, Kylie is evil!" the Yellow Ranger was tearing up, "Wesley was so right! She knocked me out and dragged me here. Now I see she'd done the same to you and the others."

"Calm down," he nuzzled her forehead with his own, "Wesley will figure it out."

"I hope so," she swallowed her dry throat, "I mean, Kylie told me she knew he loved her. So what if he's blinded by love?"

"Good point," he sighed, "all we can do now is hope for the best."

Though he couldn't see her, she nodded. The Yellow and Green Rangers watched as the others woke up, and they explained what happened. They were forgiven, of course, by whoever they'd fought with.

"She must be a Nilock," Kevin claimed as they were all sitting up in their tiny, cramping space, "I mean, it's obvious it wasn't really us."

"So true," a silky voice purred. The light suddenly flooding in tortured their eyes, blinking and watering.

When their eyes adjusted, the Samurai saw Kylie standing there. She was grinning evilly, her black hair shadowing over her greens, which seemed darker now. They glared at her, angry for what she'd done. This is when they realized they were in a small mound of Earth, bound in chains all in each other, crammed all together.

"I am a Nilock," she nodded, "I can morph into human forms, and I've got Wesley in the palm of my hand. He'll never figure out the truth!" She cackled evilly.

"Not true," Antonio snarled, "I know him, he's not stupid."

"He's weak now," she smirked, "he's blinded by love now. My spell of love over him is strong. Now I will rule everything, rid myself of you Samurai and then break his heart before finishing him too."

Her laughter was cruel and heartless. The Ranger locked eyes, guilt all across their faces.

"We should have believed him," Mia sighed, "he knew she was evil."

"It was childish to ignore him like that," Jayden bowed his head, "we should all be ashamed. "

"Feel what you will for the time you have left here," Kylie told them, "I gotta' get back before he wakes up."

She rolled something over the hole, and the light was gone. Darkness swallowed them whole, and they shivered. Weeping filled the silence, and Jayden realized they belonged to his girlfriend.

"We're going to be okay," he promised her, "we'll figure it out."

"But it's my fault," she wept, "I made him trust her. This is my fault we're all going to die."

"We won't die," Antonio assured her, moving closer to comfort her, "and it's not your fault. It's all our faults."

"Besides," Mike nudged her jaw, "he cares more about you than he does any of us others. He'll want to find you first."

Smiling, she felt warm surrounded by the three boys who loved her like a sis/ a hopefully one day wife. (I think you know which is which.)

"I guess," she sniffed one more time, "let's get some rest."

Everyone attempted to get a little comfortable. Closing her eyes, Emily fell into dreamless sleep.

Kylie slipped into The Shiba House. It was quiet, now that the Samurai Rangers were kidnapped. Mentor had gone to a 'vacation' with other mentors, so it was pretty empty. Wesley appeared in the doorway, hair tangled and tiredness in his ice eyes.

"Hey, babe," she kissed his cheek, "sure is nice around here, huh?"

"Yep," he grinned, "quiet. Peaceful. Just me and the love of my life." They kissed before he made them coffee.

Chucking, the female Nilock in girl form sat on the table. She had him in her trap just right, and he wouldn't even know until it snapped shut.
