13. First Transformation
Jayden was handling the nighlok and moogers fairly well alone. He knew he would do a lot better with Emily helping him, but she was gone. He was wishing she would be there. He was waiting, and hoping for her to show up.
The four rangers showed up. Emily smiled at her big brother. She morphed quickly and headed to battle. She quickly went to help Jayden, and fight off moogers.
"Em, I'm-" he started.
"Sorry, I know. It wasn't your fault. Lets talk after. Go get the Nighlok, I've got these moogers," she told him.
Jayden nodded and ran to destroy the nighlok. He quickly took a swipe at it with his spin sword. He knew Emily had his back, for she knew everything. He watched the other rangers fight.
Mike, being the weakest, seemed to be doing fairly well. He could handle his moogers. He seemed a little sloppy, but had the guts to be a samurai.
Kevin was a natural-born samurai. He was beating his nighlok with no problem, and seemed to know, or calculate his movement.
Mia was a strong, and knew her stuff. She was strong, almost as strong as Kevin. She seemed to genuinely care about Emily, and for that, he was grateful. She needed a big sister, even if she said she was okay. She had lived with males her whole life, and she needed change.
Emily, his baby sister, the youngest samurai, ever, was battling her moogers. Something was off about her, and he didn't know what. She seemed to not be okay. All her wanted was, to go to her and protect her from the moogers, but her couldn't do that. She would kill him.
He barely had time to react as something flew towards him. He noticed it was Emily's weapon. Had she tried to hurt him? The monster took the chance to hit him. He flew back to a building, and fell.
Emily got her breathing under control.
"Jayden!" she shouted, as she ran to him. She ran to make sure he was all right. "Please be okay."
The nighlok got ready to attack. Emily needed to protect her brother. He was all she had, and it was her fault. She stood in between the nighlok and Jayden.
"Emily!" the others shouted as the ran to their allies. The attack hit the rangers, caused the rangers to power down, with the exception of Jayden.
Emily had tried to get up, but the pain in her head was too great, it caused her to fall back down.
The other rangers groaned in pain, as she laid there.
Jayden stood up and looked at his team, as he said, "We must stand and be strong. Other we defeat the nighlok, or we will be defeated."
"Understood," Kevin said as he stood up.
The pain in Jayden's arm was too great and he fell to his knees.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know," Mike said.
Mia and Emily just moaned in pain.
"Emily! Are you okay?" Mia asked, as she found Emily unable to get up.
Jayden was on alert. He was angry, no one hurt his sister.
"Mia, stay with her," he told the pink ranger. "There is a girl left behind. I must safe her." He walked to where his sword stood.
Emily slowly got up. "Don't worry about me. Go help the red ranger."
Jayden got the sword and attacked the nighlok. Jayden attacked and got the upper hand. He used to sword, and caused the nighlok to fly towards some debris. He ran to the small blond girl.
"Don't worry, I'll protect you," he told her.
"Hannah!" a lady shouted as she ran towards the fight.
"Mommy!" the little girl called out.
"We gotta help Jayden!" Kevin told his team.
"Come on," the red ranger said as he took the girl to her mother.
The four rangers stood up. Emily used Mia for support.
The nighlok, angry, stood up.
"Gotta admit, that dude has style," Mike said.
Jayden and the nighlok fought again.
Emily pushed herself off Mia and walked a few steps.
"I have to help him. Can't let him do it alone," she whispered.
The nighlok got Jayden down, and stood ready to attack the rangers morphed, and ran to help.
The rangers used their spin swords to finish the battle.
"Spin Swords, Quintuple Slash!" Each using their elements, they destroyed the nighlok.
"Time for the Mega Mode," Jayden said.
The rangers, with a mistake, ended up defeating the nighlok.
They were going home, with Jayden and Emily at the back of the group.
"Em, I'm so sorry," Jayden whispered.
"I get it. It's my fault. I pushed you too much. I shouldn't have. Nothing will change the way I feel about you, I love you, Jay," Emily whispered back.
Jayden stopped her, and gave her a hug. He kissed her forehead.
"I love you Emily," Jayden told her. "You and me against the world."
The other three watched from the distance. It looked like a couple from afar.
"Damn, I really wanted that chance," Mike whined. "Stupid red ranger and his coolness. Always gets the girl."
"Are you even sure their dating? He's like twenty, and she's fifteen, or fourteen. A huge age gap," Mia told Mike. She knew it something didn't make sense.
"I'm twenty as well," Mike told her.
The two siblings walked up to them.
"I-I'm sorry I almost caused the battle," Emily whispered, as she looked to the ground.
"It wasn't you fault. You did great," Jayden told her.
"Yeah, you would make your mother proud," Mia told her.
Jayden took Emily's hand and smiled. "He would be proud."
Emily smiled and kissed Jayden's cheek.
"Thanks Jay, for everything," she told him.
