MENTOR JI

Page Six

Mentor Ji stepped out into the night air.  He was worried about Jayden, who was still missing.  Mentor Ji:  Has the weight of leading the Samurai Rangers become too heavy for Jayden to bear?  I must give Jayden room to find the strength he needs to lead this team.  The following morning, Mentor Ji walked into the sick room, determine to be cheerful.  Mentor Ji:  Hello everyone!  Hi Emily!  Hope you're feeling better!  have you finished breakfast?!  Mike:  You can cut the happy, happy act.  We know some things up.  Mia:  We know Jayden's gone.  Mentor Ji drops the pretense.  Mentor Ji:  Don't worry.  He'll be back.  The rest of us just need to focus on our mission.  Later the gap sensor goes off.  Mentor Ji pulls up a map.  He notes the attack is in the park at Harbor Village.  Mia, Kevin, Emily, and Mike race into the room.  Kevin tells Mentor Ji that they heard the gap sensor.  Mentor Ji asks if they are really up for this?  Kevin replies that they have to be up for it.  Emily adds, we all wish Jayden was here with us, but there's a Nighlok out there.  Mentor Ji walks away from them.  Mentor Ji confides that they should know that Jayden truly struggles with putting any of you at risk.  He resisted calling upon you when Master Xandred first awaken.  He wanted to take on this fight alone.  Which is why he walks alone now.  Kevin steps forward and tells Mentor Ji, forgive me Mentor, but that's wrong.  Jayden will never walk alone again.  Mia adds, he will always have us.  We're a team until the end.  Mike reminds his friends they have a Nighlok to take down and they race out of the room.  As it turns out, Jayden was battling the Moogers when the rest of the team joined him.  Eventually they destroyed Robtish with the Battlewing Megazord.  After the battle, Mentor Ji paces outside Shiba House until the gates open and Emily, Mia, Jayden, Mike, and Kevin run inside.  Mentor Ji is very happy to see Jayden is back.  They shake hands.  Jayden apologizes for leaving.  Mentor Ji tells him it doesn't matter, as long as you are back.  Jayden confirms that he is back where he needs to be.  Back with his team.  Mentor Ji tells them, good work.  I think you all deserve some fun.  Anything you want.  Mike, Mia, Kevin, and Emily get very excited.  Kevin is eager to try something new.  Mike suggests the movies.  Emily thinks that's a good idea.  Mia, Kevin, Mike, and Emily head into the house.  Mia wants to watch a romantic comedy.  Mike doesn't think so, unless it involves zombies.  Mentor Ji and Jayden pause outside the house.  Mentor Ji tells Jayden to go and enjoy himself.  The fight will continue tomorrow.  Jayden replies, I know there is a lot of work left to do.  Mentor Ji agrees, but tells him not to worry.  We'll tell them when the time is right.  Jayden concludes, good thing I have this team to see this through.  Mentor Ji and Jayden walk into the house.
