Mike walked into the living where the rest of the rangers were. He had taken Mia's list he had decided to show it to his friends.
It was enough, they couldn't hide forever in a house, maybe some days but that time had already passed. When he read "Facing the city" he knew Ji wouldn't approve it.
That idea had come before, but Ji was determinate to refuse it because once the city knew who they were in person, the chaos would increase. Their identities weren't the only that were on play but the entire secrets of the Samurai Rangers too. There was no way the world knew that.
However Mike had had enough of small places, and although he loved his friends, being all the times without a change was getting him mad. He also missed to go out without worries and he desperate wanted to do something.
"Mike this is no for me" Lauren muttered. It was the fifth time she lost the race against Antonio and Jayden. "You taught me bad"
"No, no Lauren. I did it fine" He defend himself "You are the one who did learn badly. I told you in the game you needed to hold the control, press "a" to make the car move, with the joystick you move to wherever you want and if you want to stop press "b""
"What?!"
"Forget it" The green ranger rolled his eyes. He took a seat next to Emily, who was watching Lauren, Antonio and Jayden. "And you Em, why are you here? You supposed to be winning here, right? Don't tell me you didn't learn how to…"
"I did, relax" Emily chuckled "I just gave Antonio the opportunity of playing"
Antonio shook his head "Hey! You lost Emily, Admit it"
"Yeah, yeah, whatever you say Antonio"
"It's true, I…"
"Guys, please stop" Mike winced.
The gold ranger stuck out his tongue as Emily did the same. Mike growled and then continued. He wasn't there for nothing.
"Uh, guys I want to talk to you about something"
"About what?" Emily asked him worriedly
"Is everything okay? Jayden added
Mike nodded his head then shook it "Yes…I mean, no, well I don't know. I want to talk …talk about this" He showed them the paper he was holding.
Antonio scratched the back of his neck " Que es eso?"
Mike sighed, he gave Mia's list to him "This Antonio, it's the plan we have had since the beginning. It's the only we have"
Lauren looked over the paper from Antonio's hand and read it loud "Facing the city….What?"
"Mike what's that?" Jayden asked him "You know we can't do that. Ji said…"
"I don't care what Ji said" Mike muttered. "I only want to get out from this hole"
"I said we will find better way to do it" Lauren assured him. Mike shook his head and clenched his fists.
"When Lauren? When the hell are we gonna do that?! Passing two month? Years?. Trust me we don't have a better plan, you know that."
Lauren looked down. Mike was right; they didn't have another plan or idea. She knew how Mike was feeling because she felt the same way. But the red ranger needed to be strong for her team. She looked up and glared at Mike "We'll figure it out"
Mike sighed deeply and rolled his eyes. His anger was almost on the top but he couldn't let that happen. "How?"
Lauren shook her head "I don't know I…"
"HOW!?" Mike got up and glared at Lauren. He wasn't going to hurt her but Jayden wasn't sure of that. So he got up too and pushed back Mike, gently.
"Mike do what we can" Jayden said.
"We don't! If we were doing something, something would have change!"
"Mike please" Emily grabbed his arm and made him sit. She was scared because Mike was unexpected in his actions but she trusted him. "You know we can't do that"
"Why?" Mike turned to her "Tell me why!"
"Because is too risky" Ji said. He finally walked in and he listened enough to join the discussion. He stepped in front of Mike and continued "You know if we face the city they can…."
"I know Ji... I know it could be dangerous, I know it could be an impact, I know every crap DECISION WE COULD TAKE, BUT…"
"We need more time"
"WE HAVE NO TIME!" Mike shouted making Ji back away. Emily tried to grab Mike's arm but he waved it as he stormed furious out.
Emily watched him and sobbed. She knew how it feels. She wanted to run away but she couldn't. She wasn't the only one on that house wishing nothing like that had happened. Antonio sat next to her and wrapped one arm around her. Lauren walked out too and Jayden turned to Ji…
"Ji…are you okay?"
"It's time Jayden. We can't do more"
