Forest For The Trees - Page Four
Jayden adds, right now you and Mike want the same thing. For him to be the best he can be. You just don't agree on the path to get him there. Mentor Ji considers it for a moment and replies, perhaps you are right. A strong wind can kindle a fire, but it can also uproot a tree. You've grown very wise Red Ranger. Jayden tells him you taught me well and then walks out. Mentor Ji stares at a small tree and then gets an idea.
Mike is at the arcade playing a video game. Mike isn't doing well in the game, because his mind is elsewhere. He remembers Mentor Ji's words to him. Mike loses the game and realizes he is so lame. What was I thinking? Bulk and Spike are at the arcade as well. They are at a dance game. Spike confesses to Uncle Bulk, that he feels kind of silly. Bulk tells him don't. Dance teaches timing, balance, and control. Everything you need for the martial arts. This game teaches teamwork. We have to be in sync to win. Bulk starts the game. Spike immediately panics. What do I do? Bulk tells him to just step where it tells you. Bulk and Spike play the dance game. After awhile, they get in sync. Then Spike gets so enthusiastic, that he does his own dance moves and knocks Bulk off the game. Mike starts heading out, muttering that he can't believe Mentor Ji took his Samuraizer. Spike overhears him. Mike steps out of the arcade and is surprised to see Mentor Ji on a motorcycle. Mentor Ji tosses him a helmet and tells him to get on. Mike is reluctant, but he puts on the helmet and sits behind Mentor Ji on the motorcycle. Spike drags Bulk outside the arcade, excitedly telling him that it was a Samurai Ranger. Mentor Ji and Mike take off. Bulk comments that he doesn't see any samurai. Spike sees the motorcycle leaving and points out there. Spike runs after them. Bulk shouts at Spike to stop! Spike doesn't see the stop sign and runs into it and lands on the pavement.
As they drive along, Mike comments to Mentor Ji, that he always thought he would be more old school, like riding a horse or something like that. Mentor Ji asks, have you ever had to clean up after a motorcycle? Mike replies no and they both laugh.
