Well, this was a little more of a challenge to work on considering everything happening in my life, but I'm pretty sure I've got it all handled now, so let's see what happens in "I've Got a Spell on Blue", where there's gonna be a little bit of development for all, but I ain't spoiling anything here. You just gotta see for yourselves. (shoots a laser blast from the Hydro Bow)

(No POV)

Within the Shiba dojo, Bekah was facing off against Jayden and Kevin in a three way practice match while they were all suited up, steeling herself with a calm visage under her helmet as she rushed forward and started combatting them, each of the three sparring against the other in one way or another, and while the most experienced of the trio was going easy to help her less inexperienced teammates, she was still on her guard.

From the sidelines, the rest of the gang was watching the combat, and Mike was amazed by the three. "They've got some mad skills. I'm impressed."

"Indeed, Jayden has been practicing since he was a child, and Bekah's had years of training," Ji agreed. "I can see how much Kevin works hard to keep up with them."

"They're all so graceful with their swords," Emily noted with a smile.

Mia shrugged slightly. "Kevin's technique is better."

Ileana smiled a bit. "Well, they each train in their own ways, just like you all do."

Culpepper chuckled slightly and nodded. "Kevin's been way more dedicated to being a samurai than even I thought possible since he was a kid. He's a tough guy and he may not show it all the time, but he's a lot more skilled in magic than you might expect too."

Mike nodded a bit and chuckled slightly. "At the very least, we don't need to worry about Kevin going rouge on us."

Spencer smiled in agreement. "No way that'll happen in a million years."

"He's true blue," Emily grinned slightly.

Just then, Bekah utilized a slash across each boy's middle sections, light as a feather for the practice yet quick in her actions.

Kevin dropped to the ground first, winded from the faux battle. "Good match, guys. I obviously need more practice."

Jayden panted slightly as he smiled behind his helmet. "Hey, don't beat yourself up over a lost point."

Bekah nodded a bit. "Besides, I was being gentle with you guys, and you know I don't hold back in my combat normally."

Kevin chuckled slightly and stood upright, getting back into position as he said, "Let's do another round then, and don't hold back this time, Bekah!"

Jayden grinned under his helmet as he got into position. "You're really gonna regret telling her that, Kev."

Bekah laughed slightly and took her position, ready for round two.

On the Junk, Deker had paid the group a visit and Xandred was less than pleased. "What're you doing here, Deker?! You expect a reward for saving Dayu?! Is that it?!" It was clear the Nighlok leader had heard about the situation from an unknown source of information.

Dayu scoffed slightly. "I didn't need saving!"

"This isn't about her," Deker clarified. "I wanna go after Red Ranger, the new leader of the Samurai." He turned towards the view looking out at the red landscape. "But I'm not looking to interfere with any of your plans."

"Do what you will," Xandred growled, walking over towards him. "My head is pounding enough with that traitorous wolf still on the loose and helping those pests. I can only deal with one headache at a time, let alone two."

Deker turned to him curiously. "I see you're still suffering from when the last Red Ranger sealed you down here."

"Every one of those Samurai Rangers will pay for my pain, starting with that two-timing samurai hairball!" He snarled angrily, walking towards the other end and taking a seat. "When we make the Sanzu River overflow, I'll watch them sink to the bottom and give that mutt a good shaving!"

Deker looked over at him. "The Violet Samurai hasn't told her myriad of friends of the curse yet, and you have nothing else planned?"

"No," Xandred admitted in defeat.

Octoroo spoke up at that moment. "He answered you, now go."

"Alright," Deker walked over towards the opening of the ship. "Rest well then, Master Xandred, and I shall continue my quest without worry."

Dayu watched him, silently thinking about what Bekah had asked of her.

(Flashback)

"I don't care what your name is now! What about our friendship? Did that mean nothing to you?!" Bekah asked her in anger.

Dayu looked away sadly. "It did... once."

(Flashback End)

"I'm the star around here!" Madimot crawled on board, jolting an annoyed Dayu out of her memories. "Bye-bye, Deker!"

"Get lost, Madimot!" Octoroo snapped at the newcomer. "You're nothing but talk!"

"Hold on, Squid Lips!" Madimot stopped him before motioning outside the opening. "I brought you a present that's bigger and badder than Deker." He jumped down and grabbed the squid by his shoulders. "Don't believe me? Let's take a look." He cracked his whip to summon his present.

Dayu looked out with Octoroo, the lone female amazed by the sight. "I can't believe it. Is that what I think it is?"

"It sure is! I've got the Red Ranger's long lost Tiger Zord!" Madimot said proudly, the camera zooming out to reveal the Zord in question on the shore as it growled fiercely.

(Bekah's POV)

Back in the forest, I was helping Bulk and Spike to train a little more after my initial training session with the team, testing their own skills and how far they'd come. "Good, good! You guys are getting really good at your practice!" I smiled confidently.

Spike slashed down and panted slightly before he looked at Bekah. "Sensei, when do you think we'll be ready to join you in battle?"

I smiled and patted his shoulder. "Patience is a virtue, Spike, and I'm glad you're at least showing it in your battles. For now, I would say you're still on the right path, but at the same time, you've still got a long way to go." I knelt down and pulled out the Rhino and Wolf Zords, letting them unfold in my hands.

Bulk was amazed by the sight. "Whoa, are these...?"

I nodded to him. "The Wolf and Rhino Folding Zords. Rhino has the element of Thunder on his side, while Wolf is a master of Metal. These were used by my father's teammates a long time ago. They're pretty much all the good memories I have left of them now." As I let a tear slip down my cheek, my Owl Zord appeared from my pocket and flew up, wiping my tear away before it landed on my shoulder and folded back up.

Bulk walked over and smiled at me. "Hey, don't sweat the small stuff, okay? Loss happens and we can't change it. What we can do is keep fighting for their memories and make them proud of us, wherever they are now."

Spike nodded in agreement as he joined me.

I smiled at my students, nodding slightly. "You guys are right. I can't hold back just yet." I placed the Zords back in my bag before my Nighlok senses went off and I stood up sharply. "That can't be good."

Suddenly, an earthquake made all three of us stumble slightly as we looked up, and I was stunned at the sight in front of me. "The lost Tiger Zord?!"

Bulk looked at it in slight fear. "That thing definitely doesn't look as friendly as Tommy's White Tiger Zord."

Suddenly, I heard a familiar laugh coming our way and looked over to see the most boastful Nighlok out there: Madimot. "Oh lovely. That explains why the Tiger Zord's in the area." I immediately got in focus and looked at the boys. "Okay, you two. If there are any civilians in the forest, clear the vicinity." I whistled quickly as Wolf and Rhino came out again and landed in my hands, along with the respective Morphers. "Keep them with you at all times and don't use the Morphers for symbols until I unlock them. For now, use them and the Zords only for communication."

Spike took the Thunder Morpher and Rhino Zord as he nodded. "We got it, Sensei."

Bulk likewise accepted the Metal Morpher and Wolf Zord, nodding to me with a confident smile. "Go get that monster and rescue the Tiger Zord." He led Spike down the path quickly as I morphed into my suit, ready to fight the enemy.

(No POV)

As soon as the rest of the team arrived, they found Bekah locked in combat against Madimot before she got bashed back to the group.

Bekah rolled on the ground, Mia and Emily immediately stepping forward to help her up as the latter asked, "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, no problem. But be careful with this one," Bekah warned them, holding her sword at attention. "Madimot's not self-titled "The Baddest of the Bad" without a good reason."

Jayden stepped forward to face Madimot as he rested his sword on his shoulder. "We're gonna whip you into shape!"

Mike nodded in agreement. "We'll see if he can back up all that talk!"

Bekah facepalmed and made a face behind her helmet as she muttered, "And you jinxed it."

Madimot hummed in agreement. "Having backup is a pretty good idea!" He cracked his whip, summoning the Tiger Zord to their area. "Here, kitty kitty!"

Bekah glared at Mike. "That's why you don't jinx this kinda thing!"

Jayden was surprised by the development. "That's impossible!"

Madimot chuckled and explained, "When the earth cracked open and your family sealed Master Xandred in the Netherworld, your Tiger Zord went into the crevice too. I saved him and made him my pet kitty, or should I say, pet tiggy?"

The Zord roared fiercely, and Bekah could instinctively sense its pain, glarig at Madimot. "That's low, even for a Nighlok like you!!"

"We've gotta get it back!" Kevn told Jayden.

"Not gonna work, Blue! My spell on him is too powerful!" The Nighlok responded gleefully.

Bekah looked at her team. "He's right. Madimot is one of the few well-known mind controllers in the Sanzu, and his control is so strong, even your ancestors couldn't break it until they were killed by him. Either that or enslaved for eternity."

"I'd listen to your moonlit friend! She knows what she's talking about!" Madimot confirmed, his face suddenly turning purple.

"Oh no you don't!" Bekah stepped forward to take the hit for the team, but Kevin wasn't going to have it. "Bekah, no!"

The Blue Ranger rushed forward and pushed the hybrid out of the way, taking the shot and groaning in pain as he dropped to his knees.

"Kevin!" Bekah shouted in surprise and horror, running to help him, but instead she got shoved back and hit the ground hard.

"Bekah!" Mike ran over to help her up, looking at Kevin, who was growling slightly, the Green Ranger asking, "What's his deal?"

She stopped Mike from attacking. "He's in a trance. He won't do anythng unless he's commanded by his master."

Madimot spoke up gleefully at that moment, "I've tamed a new pet!I call him Blue! Now sic 'em!" He cracked his whip, prompting Kevin to charge at Bekah and Mike.

"Watch it!" The Violet Ranger pushed Mike out of the way and tumbled to the side to dodge before both of them got up and started combatting their teammate, Bekah using her all against Kevin, but at the same time, holding back again.

"Snap out of it, Kev!" Mike shouted at him, stumbling back from a hard strike.

Bekah said nothing to Kevin, looking at Jayden instead. "Jayden, go for Madimot! I'll help the others against Kevin!"

"You got it!" He ran forward, using her shoulders as a springboard and flippng over, slashing through Madimot's attempt to control him and starting to battle the Nighlok.

She kept up her battle against their teammate, locking his blade in a tight hold. "Kevin, I know you're in there! Madimot can't control you if you have a strong will and strong magic! Try and focus on my voice!"

Kevin seemed to hear her, grunting slightly as he fought the control, looking at her with a strained expression as he groaned out, "Resist... Symbol..."

Bekah's eyes widened at the brilliant idea before she quickly blocked his attack and stumbled back to the others.

She saw Kevin loading his Disc on and she quicky loaded her own Disc on, both of them unleashing their repective attacks at the same time. "Dragon Splash!/Lunar Blackout!" They fired the attacks at each other, the strikes colliding and causing an explosion that knocked both combatants back.

"Bekah!" Mia ran over to help her up with Mike and Emily following suit.

"NO!" Jayden knocked Madimot back and backflipped to the others, spinning his own Disc as he said, "We'd better blaze a trail outta here for now!" Spinning his Disc, he unleashed a fire arc that gave the remaining five some cover to flee.

(Bekah's POV)

Back at the dojo, I was getting my injuries tended to by Jayden, still surprised by Kevin's sacrifice to help me.

I winced slightly as I felt a little sting from the water, but I kept my face strong and calm as I sighed softly. "Madimot is going down for trying to hurt you guys, and he's gonna get his due for putting Kevin and the Tiger Zord under his command too." I groaned slightly and wrinkled my nose in pain at another sting.

Jayden frowned slightly at my pain. "Sorry."

I shrugged slightly and smiled reassuringly. "Don't worry, I'm not mad at you." I noticed the Junior Tribunal minus Culpepper coming back in and raised an eyebrow. "Guessing Culpepper's getting some aggression out in the woods?"

Spencer nodded and sighed softly. "We're gonna need something miraculous to get back at that Nighlok."

Bekah nodded, smirking slightly as she looked at them. "I might already have a plan." She turned to Jayden. "Remember the Resist Disc you had on standby in case of something like this happening?"

He nodded slightly, remembering the Disc in question and smiling at her. "I think I see where you're going with this."

Ileana nodded a bit. "And it makes sense. Madimot has a prideful streak that we've noticed and pride can be exploited."

Spencer snorted slightly. "That and he's got a big mouth like Negatron."

The two Rangers chuckled at the quip before Bekah refocused and looked at the three with her when Ileana and Spencer took their seats. "Okay, here's what we should do."

(No POV)

Meanwhile out in the woods, Culpepper was swinging his claw blades around fiercely, his anger at Madimot fueling his magic before he slashed down some branches and sent them to the ground. "When I get my hands on that Nighlok, he's in for a rude awakening!"

"You always had aggression issues, 'Pepper." A familiar voice rang out to the future Black Magician as a young redheaded woman stepped out of a portal with a smile on her face, wearing a dark overcoat and holding a staff calmly.

"Tana." Culpepper smiled slightly, surprised to see his employer in the area. "What're you doing here?"

"Helping you get your head out of your butt to join the others," she responded as she walked over and passed him a few charms charged with the Resistance symbol.

He smiled a bit and nodded slightly. "This'll definitely help us later. Thanks, boss."

She nodded slightly. "Hey, any time." She patted his shoulder gently before looking towards another portal in the vicinity. "Oh, seems like I'm needed again." She smirked and rolled her eyes. "Watching over all the timelines never gets easier, I tell you."

He laughed slightly and grinned as he watched her head through the portal and disappear from sight before looking at the charms and feeling confident, knowing his own teammates had probably helped the others with getting a plan ready by now. Letting his weapons disappear, he quickly headed back to give the others their protection charms.

But on his way back, he stopped upon hearing footsteps and quickly took cover, seeing Deker passing by a few yards away. "What is he up to?" Casting a small spell, he made his own hearing stronger and listened to Deker's talking to himself.

"So Master Xandred doesn't know the truth about the Sealing Power? Good," Deker mused to himself. "That means he'll stay out of my way." The wind blew around the half Nighlok for a moment before he drew his blade. "Uramasa, my trusty sword, if I can't finally find a worthy opponent and bring him to his knees, then what's the point of being immortal?" He sheathed his blade again and walked off, changing into his human form.

Culpepper frowned slightly in understanding. "So he needs a good opponent to fight and he's picked Jayden. I hope Tana has a solution to help later." He teleported back to the others quickly, deciding to tell Spencer and Ileana later when they were alone.

(Bekah's POV)

The Gap Sensor had gone off and alerted us to Madimot's return, and thanks to Culpepper and Tana, we were all ready for action as we headed out to the site quickly.

As we moved, I relayed the plan to Mike, Emily, and Mia. "Okay, more than likely Kevin will be forced to fight Jayden, so we have to let that happen. You guys have your resistance charms, keep them on your person at all times. Mike, you're most connected to the Forest element, you need to rescue the Tiger Zord. Mia, Emily, you work with the Junior Tribunal and keep Madimot and any summoned Moogers at bay for the boys to rescue the captives!"

"Right!" "You got it!" "Okay!" The three responded in kind.

When we arrived on scene, we all stood together, the Junior Tribunal appearing nearby as well.

"It's about time, little heroes!" Madimot spoke to them, having Kevin standing nearby and await his orders.

Bekah looked at Kevin calmly. "Don't worry, Kev. We'll get you back to your senses."

"Not going to happen, Violet! Make this fight count, or I'll make Blue turn his sword on himself!" Madimot told her.

Bekah took a deep breath and looked at Jayden. "You sure you wanna do this?"

He looked at her and nodded. "I'm sure."

"I wish I had some popcorn!" Madimot jumped up and landed on a bulldozer before speaking again. "Blue, attack!"

Kevin slowly drew his blade and stepped forward, ready to fight.

"Rangers, Tribunal, suit up!" Bekah commanded, snapping her fingers.

Jayden took the lead on the morph and the four Samurais and Future Tribunal changed into their uniforms, all of them braced for combat.

"Oh, so you all want in on the game? Okay then!" Madimot stood up and cracked his whip, summoning the Tiger Zord and a platoon of Moogers.

Bekah smirked slightly to herself and muttered, "Just as planned."

Jayden immediately rushed at a charging Kevin, Mike and Spencer worked together to get towards the Tiger Zord, and the girls along with Culpepper fought in unison to strike down the Moogers.

Bekah stayed behind, watching the combat go on as she sensed Deker coming and glanced at him. "You think there's a clear winner here?"

He nodded a bit. "It seems so. Unfortunately, it's not your blue friend, because he fights like he's trying to win a training point rather than a real duel."

I pursed my lips slightly and sighed softly. "Why fixate on Jayden as your opponent? He's clearly as trained as I am, even if he's younger than us."

Deker smirked slightly and looked at me. "I think you and I both know the answer to that, Rebekah."

I looked at him, remembering when I first saw Sealing Symbol being used.

(Flashback, approximately 250 years ago)

I'd managed to get to the battle and join with the Rangers of the past in combatting Master Xandred, standing alongside Corey as we slashed down horses of Moogers.

Suddenly, my senses picked up the incoming threat and I pushed Corey out of the way, taking a slash from Master Xandred right across the chest and screaming in pain as I flew back amidst explosions, rolling on the ground and changing back to my human form.

I pushed myself up and looked at my defeated teammates, seeing them all shifting slightly in pain before I looked up at Xandred and shakily stood up, facing him without fear. "I'd rather die than be in service to you!"

Xandred looked at me and scoffed slightly. "So be it." He raised his sword to strike me down, but he stopped just centimeters from my head and shouted in agony.

I looked over and saw that Corey had completed the Sealing Symbol and managed to use it on Xandred before it was too late for me.

Xandred screamed as he was forcefully pulled through a gap and disappeared from sight before I stumbled over to Corey and caught him, smiling a bit. "You did it! You've sealed him away!"

He nodded and smiled. "For now." Taking my hand, he stood up and leaned against me for support as we helped the others up and back to the safety of our base.

(Flashback End)

I snapped out of my thoughts as I heard Jayden shouting as he flipped down from a high beam, Kevin following him.

"It's a lot different when you're fighting for survival," Deker pointed out to me, sounding like he knew what I'd gone through. "You fight with instinct, and you have to watch your target like a hawk."

I nodded a bit, following his understanding. "Corey was the same way back then. He was extremely dedicated to his training and yet he still made time for me. Maybe..." I trailed off, wondering if it could be the case.

He knew what I was thinking though. "Your new leader could be a reincarnation of the twelfth Red Samurai. It's highly plausible if you've seen and you know the way they both fight."

I bit my lip slightly and looked on at the battles, seeing everyone doing their best to fight their opponents before I turned to Deker as he watched Jayden and spoke some more, "It's easy to get tired in a long battle when there's no one to say stop."

We saw Jayden knock Kevin down just as the others managed to destroy the Mooger horde, and I glanced at Deker as we moved to an overlook position. "What do you think Jayden's planning now?"

"The Red warrior has a good stance. It reduces arm fatigue," he noted. "He'll stay strong, and when the Blue goes for the point, the Red will see his opening and he'll strike. He's looking for a decisive blow. That's the difference between these two."

I watched with bated breath as Jayden's moves proved Deker right: He moved under Kevin and utilized the Resist Disc to knock him out of the spell, using the same maneuver I'd used earlier on him.

Deker smirked slightly before looking at me. "Seems your Red warrior picks up on your skills, even when you don't notice it. Perhaps you will be fighting alongside him when I face your beloved Red Ranger with my Uramasa, but in spirit."

I looked at Deker silently as he nodded and turned, leaving the area.

Shaking my head, I turned around and joined the others down below.

"Wolfsmane! You had this planned all along!" Madimot shouted at me, confusing half of the group who didn't know my secret.

"Wasn't just her though. Culpepper provided a little extra boost of power with some help from our own boss," Ileana smiled, showing off the charms.

That was when Kevin noticed one team member was missing. "Where's Mike?"

"Up here, dude!" Mike called out, and we all looked up to see the Tiger Zord as it snarled angrily at Madimot, Mike coming out from the cockpit in his Mega Mode and holding a now transformed Resist Disc. "Wasn't so easy to rescue the Tiger Zord, but I pulled it off!"

"Why you punks!" Madimot shot some of his energy balls from his shield, prompting the Junior Tribunal to block it before the rest of us Samurai charged forth. "Spin Sword: Quintuple Slash!" Mia went first, then I followed up with Jayden, Emily coming afterwards, and Kevin finished off the first form.

Of course, Madimot grew big, but Mike jumped into the cockpit, ready for action and he rammed into Madimot before making a trench and trapping the Nighlok inside it. "This fault is all yours, Nighlok!"

"Come on! Let's give Mike some help!" Emily spoke to us, giving us the cue to summon our own Zords and form the Megazord.

Mike then pulled out his Mega Blade and spun the Disc. "Samuel Artillery!" Just like that, the Tiger Zord formed with the Megazord and become the Tiger Drill Megazord.

"You're nothing but a hairball!!" Madimot grunted as he got himself out of the crevice.

"And you're nothing but a bigher bully than your predecessors could ever be!" I challenged him while we clashed with the Nighlok and his shield.

"If that Nighlok relies on his shield so much, I say we break it into pieces!" Mike spoke up.

"Good thinking, Mike!" I commended him.

With that, we activated the Tiger Drill Charge and rushed forward, destroying the shield and Madimot with it.

(No POV)

After the victory, Mike, Emily, and Mia were playing a board game while using their Zords as pieces and Jayden and Kevin were talking about the events of the battle. Meanwhile, Bekah was sitting with the Junior Tribunal and Ji as she confided in them about her concerns with telling the other Rangers about her secret identity. "Madimot used my Nighlok name out there on the field today and I could tell Kevin, Mia, and Emily were all confused. I bet Mike was confused too, even though he was helping the Tiger Zord. It's really making me nervous about when I'm actually revealed to them."

"If the others think of you as an ally, they will understand." Ji comforted me. "Some of the best allies are those we don't expect from the wrost starts."

"But they could use their weapons against me," she pointed out.

"We all have to make tough decisions sometimes, Bekah," Culpepper reminded her. "But if it's for the greater good, then we do it without hesitation."

Bekah looked up a little bit and smiled before she heard the others call to Jayden and Kevin, chuckling slightly as she thought more about her theory about Jayden possibly being Corey's reincarnation. It could be possible, but even she couldn't tell. All she had to do was wait for the right time to try and figure that part out for herself.

And scene. Not really so different from everything else, but a little more backstory of how Bekah knows so much and how she's getting more used to the idea of being romantically involved with Jayden never really hurts. Anyway, read and review and hopefully I'll have some more chapters and stories for y'all to check out soon. (looks at myself) Oh, before I forget... (boops my nose twice and transforms into a neko girl) Yeah, I thought a cat girl was a good choice for my new profile pic. ニャー！:3
