While the others continued walking in the street, Antonio continued in the park. It was then when he found who was looking for.
Near the fountain water, a man was sitting on a bench with his head in his hands. He didn't seem to have any interest of what was happening around to him nor of who sat at his side.
The gold Ranger was who took a seat beside him and began to count who that person was. He had already seen him from the moment that had arrived, but not paid any attention in particular, until he saw that the reason he was there was not to applaud at all. Throughout the stay of the rangers in the park, he in particular showed nothing in the words of the samurai rangers and he wondered why.
Antonio knew there would be people who would hate the rangers because of who they were, but the curiosity to know what caused that was in his head. So he sat at the side of the man and decided to begin the conversation.
" Bad day?"
"I've had betters"
"What's your name? I'm Antonio, Antonio García, yours?"
"Gregory …" The man raised the look and when he recognized Antonio as a Power Rangers sighed nastily "What do you do here?"
"I want to help"
"You already helped enough" The man muttered
"Did I do something, sir?"
"Yes, you and your stupid monsters came here"
"That isn't my fault" Antonio shook her head "I only helped to stop them, that's all"
"Yeah, that is what you say to all those incredible people, to win fame, right? You don't care what happened here while you hid in the forest"
"What?! No. We didn't. I mean…" Antonio gasped "Listen please, if we went was because you thought it was our fault but it wasn't. The big head monster planned to flood the Earth and we stopped him. Where's the fault?"
"I don't care"
Gregory got up before something bad was happening and walked away. But Antonio wasn't the boy who gave up and followed the older man.
"Hey stop please. I want to help!"
Gregory stopped and spun around to get Antonio by his shirt with his two hands "Listen, young boy. You and your stupid team won't ever help me. You never helped my wife and nephew and now they're death. The fucking power rangers never appeared and now, there's nothing you can do"
He let Antonio go and stormed off.
The gold ranger rubbed his chest and watched the man go. But in that moment his samuraizer went off and he answered "Yeah, Jay?"
"Antonio we're in bakery shop…"
"Yes, I can hear Lauren's and Emily's screams"
"Where are you? We're waiting for you here, ok? "
"Ok, Jay, I'll be there in a minute"
Antonio was sitting on top of a big rock with his best friend. The few stones that he had collected to throw them into the sea and playing with Jayden to see who threw it farther away were running out."
"Wu! Three rebounds Jayden, I'm winning amigo"
The red ranger smirked and threw away the little rock. The rock crashed with the water and gave three rebounds plus one. "Wu! Four rebounds Antonio"
The gold ranger opened his mouth and shook his head. "Ok, Jayden you'll have war" He picked up one of the last two stones and the other picked Jayden. "Ok. Rock that reaches more away wins"
Jayden threw his rock at the same time as Antonio, and although it looked like the gold ranger's rock would go further, a small wave that formed bumped into it and made it sink. While Jayden's rock kept rebounding and obviously came further.
"I win! I win!" Jayden celebrated his victory with a little dance. Antonio crossed his arms over his chest and stuck out his tongue.
"Hey Jayden, you should take dancing classes" Mia chuckled when she saw the red ranger on the rock dancing crazily.
She didn't hear what he had answered because Kevin grabbed her by the arm and ran with to the water. He tried to drop her in the water but the pink ranger accidentally put his foot behind Kevin's making him fall to the ground –actually water.
"I'm sorry" Mia put her hands in her mouth and helped Kevin to stood up. The blue ranger started to shake and gulped.
"Th-the w-water is co-cold"
"Then, it's so good that it was you who fell down" Mia chuckled. She wrapped her arms around him and gave him a hug "Sorry, let's come back, before Lauren or Emily finish the cupcakes"
The blue ranger nodded but then remembered something. He stopped suddenly and Mia looked curiously to him.
"What Kev?"
The blue ranger stroked Mia's cheek and whispered in her ear "I've got something for you"
The pink ranger frowned and looked to Kevin. It wasn't her birthday or any anniversary, and she didn't have done something that deserves a gift. She wasn't sure what Kevin meant but when he pulled out of his jeans' pockets a little pink box she smiled brightly. "Kevin, what is this?"
"Open it"
Mia did what she was told and her eyes glittered when the box was opened "Kevin this is…this…"
"You like it?" Kevin gestured
"Of course!" The pink ranger pulled in Kevin for a hug and rubbed her face on his shoulder "This is amazing, Kev. Thank you"
Kevin wrapped his arms around her and kissed the top of her head. He held her in his arms and rocked her a little "I'm happy it likes you"
"Hey! Hermano! Don't forget to give me credit!" Antonio shouted from the rock.
Mia turned to look Antonio and then Kevin "Is he…"
"We both worked on it. He actually was the one who programmed it and I just supervised and give him the symbols"
Mia hugged her new samuraizer to her chest and kissed Kevin in the cheek "Thanks really, but how did you imagine it? I never said anything about my samuraizer"
"I know how it feels to lose it, Mia. Remember? When that nighlok ate mine I felt awful. Now I can't imagine how you've been feeling. I did this to cheer you up"
"Kev, this means a lot" Mia hugged him again. But this time Kevin hold Mia's waist and kissed her. The pink ranger returned the kiss. Both rangers then just felt the water rising in their feet.
"WOW! Hey Kevin! Hold on!" Antonio started to tease him. And Jayden for the first time joined him.
"Oh Come on, Please! We have an unborn child watching you guys!"
Kevin did nothing more then move his hand to silence his friends. The red and gold ranger chuckled.
In a part near the rocks, where Emily, Lauren and Mike were, the trio closed their eyes. Emily put a hand on her eyes and the other one on her stomach. "Guys, c'mon, not here!"
"At some point I couldn't recognize the two heads" Lauren sighed
Mike grumbled "Mia that's not fair! You never let me do that with Emily!" Emily nudged hard Mike on the ribs and he breathed. "Sorry"
When the Pink and Blue rangers got enough, they pulled apart and smirked. They walked togheter to the group and sat with them. Emily still with her two hands on her body, looked up and asked
"Are you two? Can I take off my hands?"
Mia took the hands from her and shook her head 'You are the exaggerated one. All of you"
Emily chuckled and stuck out her tongue, then took another cupcake and licked her lips. "It was a good idea bringing here those cupcakes. If we weren't, I would probably be crying for returning home"
"Yes, but if you don't stop eating Emily you'll get fat. Tell me, what number is it you have in hand, uh? The fifth? The sixth?"
"When they are enough I'll stop, I promise Mike"
The green ranger rolled his eyes and grabbed other cupcake from the box.
He and the others were sitting by the rocks near the sea, enjoying the beautiful afternoon.
Jayden, who had climbed down the rock and joined the group, breathed the fresh air and bit his muffin.
"Ready for the freedom?"
His team looked up curiously but nodded their heads.
"There's nothing that can stop us now" Mia said
"Unless it's the crazy people" Lauren rolled her eyes "We're not Hollywood stars"
"Yeah, but something makes them to be that crazy, I don't know"
"Yes!" Mike agreed "And there are more than two who gives me headache"
"Oh c'mon Mike, you're the popular boy of the group" Kevin chuckled "The younger, stronger, the smily. Let their imagination flies" But Kevin saw the deep look on Emily's face and regretted everything said. He cleared his throat "Sorry"
"The point is we finally end" Lauren interrupted "No nighloks or Xandred to worry about"
"I rather them" Emily muttered
"C'mon Em, they're saying your fiancé is handsome" Mia cheered her up.
"Yes, but that doesn't mean I am going to let…"
"And we'll continued with our lives" Jayden interrupted. They had had enough from the jealously Emily.
"Yeah, finally" Kevin nodded "So, what is next to you guys? We're free"
"Well…" Emily said "I think this time my plans are major. There's a lot on the road"
"Yeah" Mike wrapped one arm around her "And I don't think a simply moving man is enough"
Everyone let out a smile and suddenly heard Antonio screaming by the rocks. The gold ranger still remained on the big rock and was admiring the view.
"What about you Kev?" The green ranger continued
"I don't know" He shrugged "The Olympics finished and there's nothing more to do unless swimming. I guess I'll think that with Mia"
"Maybe you should start a new family too" Mike suggested as a joke.
"What?! No!" Mia shook her head and slapped Mike.
"Hey Mia, you're going to leave him dumber than he is now" Emily frowned.
After being satisfied with the slaps on Mike's head, Mia took other cupcake and turned to Jayden and Lauren.
"What about you? Have you thought in something?"
"Nothing big" Lauren said "But by now, I just want to keep doing this"
"What? Eating cupcakes?"
"No, but going out, of course. Enjoying the outdoors. This place is amazing! I don't know why took me a life to come here"
"Maybe it was because you were too busy with the sealing symbol" Jayden said
"Oh, yeah. It must be that"
"And you Jayden?" Mia asked once again
"I don't know. But I think it's going to be easier than I expect it to be. And…"
"Amigos!"
The gold ranger shouted and when he took his friend's attention he pointed to the sky. "The sunset arrives!"
Everybody looked up and directed their eyes to the sun. It was beautiful and the evening was very fresh and quiet. The waves made a sound that kept the piece and the rangers didn't ask for something more after such exhausting day.
Jayden invited Lauren to walk for the seashore. The green ranger cuddled up with Emily to admire the sunset just as Kevin and Mia.
When Mike leaned to Emily to give her a deep kiss – just as Mia's and Kevin's- the pink ranger took the few hair on Mike's head and pulled him apart. "That's enough"
Mike grumbled and had to just cuddle up with his fiancé.
Things were going to change because it was a new starting. They didn't know what to expect down the road but hoped to be wonderful.
They didn't expect fame or popularity back in the city but being normally accepted by people they once saved. Though there were still problems unsolved, it wasn't anything that couldn't be solved. The rangers samurai finally had ended with their mission and now it was their turn to enjoy the life. Once and for all.
No matter how hard it could be, they knew the true samurai never gives up.
The End.
