How to make a Yellow Samurai hate you 9
Emily was trying to move on from her memories with Jayden. Joey was so understanding, patient and kind. He never made her uncomfortable, and she was totally happy with him. She could smile and laugh, feel like she never had a worry. But they were apart, fear crept over her and she felt empty. Her heart longed for the Red Ranger so much, but Joey was like everything Jayden wasn't. He talked to her, keeping her mind off his memory, and he was sensible. When she cried, he acting like he was crying and made her laugh. It was like he was just like her.
Then why she couldn't stop thinking about that unsensible, quiet, mysterious coco blonde Fire Samurai Ranger?
She was restless as usual in her bed, turning around and tangling up her hair. She sighed, staring up at the ceiling. The ceiling fan swirled around, and she felt as if her former boyfriend was shivering the night. Blinking, she rolled on her side, and she felt a pain and dampness, like he was rolling down a wet hill painfully. Now confused, her hazels fixed on the moon. She felt like his eyes were on it, like they were connected in a way.
What in the world? she thought, how could I feel this stuff?
She tossed around, the feelings overcoming her own senses.
She could see the forest before her, her breath hard and her clothes wet and cold. She was suddenly on the ground, trying to find warmth in a pile on leaves. Her skin twitched and shivered, nerves weakening. Her eyes closed, hot breath coming out in small puffs in the air.
Gasping, she sat up. It was just like she'd been there, and she somehow knew it was Jayden feeling that way. She wasn't sure why she felt this, but this could help her know how he was.
Suddenly, she felt something slimy and cold. When she opened her eyes, she gasped at the Sanzu River water on her hand. Shaking the gross stuff off her hand, she backed up from the oozing crack. She tore off a little piece of her shirt to sope it all up. Suddenly, it pulled in her hand.
She recoiled from the gunk under the ground, then yelped. She tried to fight it, but she was suddenly going down. She clawed wildly, fighting the yanking from the water. Making a symbol, fire made the evil water retreat.
"Ah, Red Ranger," a steel voice cooed fakely, "ready for a little visit?"
The Yellow Ranger shivered when the feeling retreated. Somehow she knew it was Jayden, and he was there in the same spot. He was in a lot of danger. Closing her eyes, trying to steady her breath, she concentrated on the feeling.
She retreated from the Nilock above him. It was tall and green-red, hollow yellow eyes glowing dangerously. Scrambling up on the wet leaves, she grabbed her samuraizer. But the beast snatched up and pushed her, sending her sliding into the gunky river water. Breathing in pain, she couldn't find the strength to fight him anymore. The monster picked her up, strong grip sinking his claws into her skin painfully. Black dots danced before, world spinning and lights flashing. Squeaking in pain, she dropped to the floor of the forest.
She screamed as his foot smashed on her chest, cracking within her. Pain filled her ribs, and her holler was covered by his hand when he twisted her ankle. She lay broken, in pure agony, on the ground. She couldn't move or breathe good, and the beast snatched her up by the wrist. He slammed her on his slimy, bulky shoulder, then walked off. She lost conscienceness.
Emily about screamed. Jayden was being kidnapped, being broken and tortured by a Nilock. She couldn't just let him die and know it. Sure, they were over and he was a pretty big meanie earlier. But they were a team, and she wasn't one to back down when a friend needed help. Jayden had made her a fighter.
Silently so she didn't wake up Mia, the blonde tip-toed out of the room and into the garden. Yanking out a few tangles in her curls, she tossed her hair into a ponytail to see better. Ignoring the fact she was still in her jammies, the girl morphed silently and headed out.
She climbed through the brush, looking for her ex. When she saw the Sanzu River seeping through, she soaked it up quickly and followed the slimy tracks from the beast. Her hazels were soon showing her a big tree, covered in slime.
He must have passed into a gap, she thought, making a symbol. She went into the reopened gap and let it take her, hoping it took her where they were.
Apparently fate was on her side, because she was suddenly in a cave. Sanzu slime was everywhere, and there was dim lighting in spots. The mouth was small, making escape difficult. The Yellow Ranger tried to be silent as she went down into darkness. Her feet kept sliding, and she had to steady herself more than a few times, which resulted in her hand getting covered in the Sanzu gunk on the walls, which were just a slippery.
Finally, she saw them. The Nilock was watching Jayden, who looked completely broke on the ground. His breaths were heavy with pain, eyes unopening. The evil smiled, er, evilly and extending several, sharp, wet with slime and poison. Cruelly, he pushed the hurt Ranger in the broken spot on the ribs. He gasped in agony, eyes flashing as the monster leaned close.
She could feel his breath on her face, eyes starting to glow bright, burning her own.
"You're done for," he hissed lowly, claws coming down.
The tips touched where her heart was, the wetness of pure poison and death on her skin.
"Why?" her ex-boyfriend rasped in agony, "why are you doing this?"
"You're Red Ranger," he replied, "Master wants to get you rid of, and I was the merciless Nilock to do the job. This is my they call me Mercales."
The tips started to sink in, and she coughed in pain. Shivering and twitching, she closed her eyes. Something wet ran down her battered, filthy, bleeding cheek. When it seeped on her lips, she knew what it was.
Emily held her gasp in her throat. It was a tear, which meant…
"Aw, poor little baby," Mercales laughed cruelly, "what a weak little excuse for a Ranger. I thought you'd be tougher, but ha! What a fool! Here you are, all broke easy, crying!"
The tears were going faster.
"Pathiec," he chuckled, "goodbye, Red Ranger."
Overcome with the cruelness of meanness this guy was presenting, the Earth Samurai emerged out quickly, sliding toward them. Slamming her heels in the slime, she stopped in front of them, grabbing up her sword. She snatched up her power disk and sent the monster rolling.
"Who the heck are you?" the beast hissed, danger in his glowing eyes. But she wasn't going to be afraid.
"Who am I?" she gripped her sword, lunging out to attack, slashing him while speaking, "Emily Harrison, the Yellow Ranger!"
Roaring, he struck her chest and grabbed her neck. She couldn't breathe, but she kicked his manhood and was let go. Enraged, Marcases snatched her up by her shirt and threw her painfully into the wall. Her head spun and vison blurred, but she got to her feet.
"Nobody," she snarled, "and I mean nobody, makes my leader cry and gets away with it."
"Then I must be nobody," he slashed her chest, and she screamed in pain. He sure was merciless.
Next, he snatched her wrist and pinned her painfully to the wall and punched her stomach. She sank to the ground, and he kicked her waist. Curling up, she was slashed and sent rolling with lazer power to back. When he zapped her back again when she stumbled up, a spark hit her backside. She went forth, pretty ticked off now.
Whirling on her heel, sending the slime flying, she sent him flying with her spin sword. Suddenly, the girl got an idea. She made a few symbols, sending them into the ground. They sank into the Earth under the slime, and she was totally still as he lunged for her.
At the last second, she slashed out with her sword. It hit the Nilock like a ball to bat, and he went airborne. He landed between where the symbols had sunken in, and the Earth suddenly started to shake. He yelled out as it all covered him, the ground rising, covering him a tight concoun.
Taking Jayden's samuaizer from the ground, she made another symbol with it and struck it with her morpher. Fire engulfed it, and when it crumbling into the ground, the beast was dust. Then he reformed, turning him into a mega monster.
She gulped, knowing she couldn't beat him alone. But that's when somebody cleared their throat. Turning around, she saw the fully morphed Samurai Ranger standing there, ready for battle.
"When…?" she was dumbfounded.
"We just showed up," Mike answered.
"Figured you needed a hand," Antonio winked.
"Come on, guys," Mia declared, "let's go!"
As the others went mega, Joey rushed up to Emily. He held her close, weeping, no doubt.
"What happened?" he demanded, "why would you scare me like that? Never, ever do that to me again."
"Sorry," she frowned in guilt, "I'll explain later. Now, let's go!"
"No," he shook his head, "I'll go Mega. You have got to get Mr. Shiba over there back to the house."
"Alright," she agreed, "be careful."
"I will," he then transformed.
While the others battled, the Earth Samurai girl rushed to her leader's side. He was unconscience, and his breathing was sick and wounded. She couldn't feel his feelings anymore, which was good. First off, it was creepy. Second, she was in enough pain herself before feeling his.
Summoning what strength she had left, she got him halfway up in her arms. Straining her muscles, she pulled him onto her burned back. Disgaurding the pain, she headed to the Shiba House. It was completely hard, the pain of his weight and her body abuse about killing her, but she grit her teeth and walked.
She about died when she got to doorstep. She had made it, and now she couldn't go any further. Trying to be gentle, she put Jayden on the mat and collapsed beside him. Mentor had them up quickly inside, and Emily about blacked out from relief.
Just before she did, she saw the tears going down Jayden's face. Weakly, she took his hand gently and kissed away a tear.
