Mike walked Emily to dojo. Both took a seat on the floor, across from one another. He wanted to make sure that they were alone when he told her. He didn't want the others to know about it just yet; just in case that yes it was just a dream, and to prevent any future embarrassment.

"What's going on?" Emily asked with curious, but caring eyes. "You seemed distracted and zoned out on us."

Mike took a few deep breaths before beginning talking. "I had a bad dream last night." He began.

Emily looked at him oddly and asked, "Just a dream? I don't think a normal dream would do something like heavily putting someone in a trance or worth worrying about."

"This isn't a normal dream, Em." He said. "It felt very real. I experienced pain; I could smell dust, and everything else out of the ordinary. The dream, it felt so vivid that it could almost happen in real life." Mike then took her hand and began to explain what his dream was about, in a lot of detail, leaving nothing out.

Emily couldn't help but to imagine what Mike's dream was, causing her to be distracted from what he was saying. She wanted to understand what was causing Mike to be distracted during training; her mind was focused on him.

A few moments later, Mike stopped talking and gave Emily time to let what he said sink in. Those moments felt like forever in his mind, which made him worry. He was afraid that she would say that it was just a dream and forget about it. He took a couple deep breaths and tried to relax as she smiled at him.

"Emily?" He asked, breaking the silence.

"So that's why you were distracted at training. I would be the same way if it happened to me." She replied, trying to find the right to say to him.

"Really?" Mike asked, smiling back at her

"Yeah." Emily replied. "Do you think that it'll come true?"

"I hope not. With dreams, you'll never know." He sighed. "And that's what's bothering me the most. I just feel that there is more to it than that."

Another moment silence fell between the two. This is something he hasn't even told Antonio yet; his gut feeling that there is more to the dream than just the nighlock stealing Mike's voice and leaving through the gap with it. Something was missing and he couldn't figure out what it was, the problem was, he couldn't figure out what.

"What do you mean by that?" Emily asked.

"There's something missing from this dream, but I just can't put my finger on it." Mike replied as he combed his fingers through his hair, "it's frustrating!"

Emily took one of Mike's hands hand held it in hers and just smiled at him. Her smile turned into a frown when the gap sensor went off. Both got up and ran into the common area to see that the others were there as well.

"There's a nighlock attack in the downtown area." Mentor Ji said as he was looking at the map.

"Let's go rangers!" Jayden exclaimed as he and the rest of the rangers ran out of the house to hunt the nighlock down.

-Unspoken Dreams-

Chaos stirred downtown as people were running frantically as a mysterious being was walking towards them. As the team got there, they also saw some of the nighlock's victims were on the ground. There were marks on their throats and were rendered helpless as they couldn't speak, but Mike couldn't see that. He was more focused on the nighlock that was making the downtown to be nothing but a pile of rubble.

As he took a look at the nighlock that was in front of him, he concluded that this was the exact same nighlock that has been in his nightmare last night. It was the way it looked, the way he sounded, the bag that was around his waist that was frightening him. The team, including Emily, was too distracted to notice that he was freaking out in the inside. She was focused on trying to prevent the rest of Mike's dream from happening.

Mike tried to keep his focus on fighting the nighlock and try to evacuate the rest of the citizens before their voices got stolen; trying to stay calm so he doesn't make the situation worse. He then saw that his team was landing on the ground one by one as they tried to fight this voice stealer off with no avail, blacking out in the process.

There was rubble everywhere and the dust was very thick, making things harder to find and making the air harder to breathe. This was all too real for Mike as he was realizing that most of his dream was coming true and it was freaking him out more than ever. As he was surveying the ground, he was also thinking back to what happened to his dream as well, it was the same situation. All of his teammates were no longer in sight and he couldn't see a thing. He picked up his sword and began to walk around the rubble.

This can't be happening! Everything in my dream is real! Mike thought as he was trying to see through the thick dust.

He is now worried that his team was dead or unconscious because he couldn't locate them. As he was looking for his teammates, he hit something hard. Mike's heart was racing a million miles a minute. He didn't want to see what he ran into.

"Hey watch where you're going!" Mike said, raising his voice at the person who bumped into him.

When the figure turned around, Mike was face to face with the exact nighlock that has been haunting his dream. Being scared shitless was out of the question, he was petrified; not only because he was face to face with the voice stealer, it was the fact that he was scared of what was going to happen next.

"Well hello there green samurai ranger!" The nighlock said, sarcastically. His voice sounded the same as Mike's dream.

Through Mike's helmet, his eyes were as wide as they can go; his breath was becoming shallow as he predicted in his mind what was going to happen next. Before he could figure that in his mind, the nighlock started to go after Mike, the green glow started to form at his throat. Mike felt helpless as he was paralyzed with fear.

As the dust started to clear, Emily was waking from unconsciousness. As the drowsiness cleared, she can see what was happening in front of her, even though she was fifty yards from what the situation was, she could see it clearly. Her eyes widened in fear, the nighlock was stealing Mike's voice, the same nighlock that he was talking about. Emily's voice failed her as she was trying to stop the transition from happening. She wanted to prevent his dream from happening while trying to destroy the nighlock, but it didn't. She felt like she failed him and everything is happening the exact same way as what Mike told her this morning.

The next thing she saw was that Mike falling to the ground unconscious, demorphing him in the process. The nighlock laugh as evil as it can be as his voice grew stronger, all while putting Mike's voice in the bag.

"I must say that his voice has made mine stronger. In 48 hours, his voice will be mine forever!" The nighlock said before leaving through the gap, but turning around to look at Emily for a moment. "You have two days to defeat me!" The nighlock finally left.

Emily quickly rushed to Mike, only to see that there was a green mark on his neck, where his voice box used to be. When the nighlock disappeared, Mike woke up from being unconscious as the rest of the team ran up to him and Emily.

"Are you okay Mike?" Emily asked.

Mike opened his mouth as he tried to speak. Nothing came out of his mouth, his nightmare had come true. The nighlock stole his voice and in two day, if not defeated, it would be his. He tried to talk again, but nothing happened. Emily and Antonio looked at each other then back at Mike. Antonio was speechless for words as Emily looked at Mike.

"Your nightmare…." Emily started to speak… "came true."

The team looked at Emily and Mike confused, not knowing what they were talking about. Mike didn't tell the rest of them about it; Antonio wanted him to tell Emily first. He was planning to tell the rest of the team before the gap sensor went off.

"Is everything okay?" Jayden asked. "What happened to Mike?"

Emily shook her head, "Mike's voice…" she paused before speaking again, "…has been stolen."
