The Blue And The Gold - Page Six
The Furrywarts drop from the ceiling and start to chant nothing. Dayu swats at them and yells at them to be quiet. The Furrywarts retreat. Master Xandred commands her to start strumming.
The next morning, Jayden, Mia, Emily, and Mike gather together for breakfast. Jayden notes Kevin is missing and asks where he is? Mia comments that he's usually back from his morning jog by now. Mike adds, always. You can set your watch to the guy. Jayden grins at the remark and then becomes concern. He tells them, I got a bad feeling about this.
The Moogers search the woods. Kevin, hidden, watches them for a moment. Antonio is making a sling for his arm. Kevin sits by Antonio and tries his Samuraizer once more, but still no signal. Antonio tells Kevin, we have to hurry back and stop them. Kevin tells Antonio he can't fight with that arm injury. I'll go. Kevin gets up to leave. Antonio tells Kevin he can't go alone. Kevin tells him, don't worry about me. Hide here until the coast is clear and then run and get the others. Kevin takes of running. Antonio calls out to wait, but Kevin keeps going.
Antberry is sharpening the ax as several Moogers hang around. Octoroo becomes impatient. How much longer are you going to sharpen that ax of yours? You are slow as sludge! Hurry up or you will be going down that well instead of those toys! In another part of the woods, Kevin has run into Moogers. Kevin battles the Moogers, but is eventually knocked to the ground. Antonio arrives and tells the Moogers to back off. Antonio battles the Moogers. Eventually the Moogers are defeated. Kevin gets up. Kevin tells Antonio, he told him to hide. Antonio is angry. He tells Kevin, you would have never ask the others to hide. Maybe you don't think of me as a samurai, but don't treat me like a coward. Being a samurai is more than following ancient traditions. It's about being a warrior. Protector of all things good. If people need to be saved, doesn't a samurai try to help? No matter what? A samurai doesn't run and hide. Kevin realizes Antonio is right. Kevin tells him, that is the true spirit of a samurai. Kevin looks at Antonio and is impressed - you can fight. Antonio replies, bring it on! I know the two of us can take them down. Kevin tells him, they don't have much choice until Jayden and the others get here. Antonio thinks Kevin has made contact. Kevin tells him he hasn't, but when I don't show up for practice, they'll know something is wrong. Kevin thanks Antonio for helping him. The two walk along a trail. Antonio asks him, do you really think they will come, just because you are late for practice? Kevin replies, I live a very discipline life. Every moment is counted for. Antonio tells him, you are definitely doing something right. Kevin tells him, they all work together as one. Like a well oiled machine. Right now our job is to fight evil with every breath in our body. Back at Shiba House, Jayden stares intently at the digital clock. When the clock reads eight o'clock, Jayden tells his friends, Kevin would never be this late from his morning run. He is always here at 8 a.m. sharp for practice. He would have at least call. Mike and Emily are worried.
