Page Fourteen

At Shiba House, Jayden, Antonio, Mia, Kevin, Mike, and Emily sat around the coffee table. Mentor Ji stood by. On the table, was a bowl that was covered. Antonio: "Behold!" Antonio removes the cover. Antonio: This is our new and improved friend, the Clawzord. Jayden: Where did you get this? Mentor Ji: The Clawzord was battle damaged years ago, so I hid it away. Antonio: Mentor ask me to perform a bit of my tech whiz magic. Jayden was surprised and glanced at Mentor Ji. Mentor Ji leaned down and confided: I wanted to see if he could actually do it. Antonio: It's pretty simple. Antonio held his morpher over Clawzord. Antonio: I text over some samurai power symbols to reprogram him. Clawzord will be back in business. Emily: Wow. Everyone, except Kevin, was impressed. Mia: So, you've been using electronic symbols? Antonio: Welcome to the 21st century. There were grins all around except for one. Kevin: Impressive, but this is the work of a computer nerd, not a samurai. The rest of the teens were taken aback by this statement. Antonio: Look, I know I wasn't born into the samurai life like you guys, but I'm trying to help in my own way. Mia: Kevin, we've already accepted Antonio into our team. Remember? Kevin stands up. Kevin: I said I'd give him a chance. But being a true samurai involves much more than pressing some buttons. Kevin storms off. Antonio: Yes, being a true samurai is what's in your heart. Jayden: It's up to you to change his mind Antonio. 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. 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. When the clock read 8:01 a.m., Jayden is done with waiting. It's time to take action. Red Ranger, Pink Ranger, Yellow Ranger, and Green Ranger arrive as Gold Ranger and Blue Ranger face down Antberry and Octoroo. Red Ranger strikes Antberry and Octorro with his blazing strike and knocks them to the ground. Red Ranger warns the Nighlok to back off. Blue Ranger and Gold Ranger get up. Blue Ranger joins the rest of the Rangers. Red Ranger confirms they knew Kevin's routine and he knew we would come looking. Gold Ranger tells them it's time to take these guys out for good. The rest of the Rangers join Gold Ranger. Octoroo shouts out, later Rangers! Time to slip through a gap. Antberry is surprised that Octoroo is leaving. Octoroo tells Antberry that the Red Ranger is going to fire your booty. Octoroo leaves. Antberry tells the Rangers, Octoroo is worthless and weak. But I am not scared of you. Blue Ranger warns Jayden to watch out for his slime. Antberry prepares to blast them with more slime. Red Ranger and Blue Ranger used their Spin Swords to block the slime. The rest of the Rangers charge towards Antberry and strike him with their weapons. Antberry is knocked to the ground. Blue Ranger and Gold Ranger charge towards Antberry as he gets back up. They strike him with their weapons, knocking him into the well. The well blows up. Within a few moments, Antberry is back and giant size. The Rangers go into mega mode power and the zords are summon. The Rangers enter their zords. Samurai Megazord is formed. Blue Ranger asks Gold Ranger to join them. Gold Ranger replies, with pleasure. Octospear Megazord is formed. Octospear Megazord and Antberry battle. Octospear Megazord knocks Antberry's weapon out of his hands. Antberry uses his Sanzu slime against Octospear Megazord. Octozord slips off of the Megazord and lands in Antberry's arms. Antberry laughs at them. Gold Ranger yells, hey, hands off my Octozord! Gold Ranger instructs Octozord to use it's ink cloud, which it does. Octozord is able to break free and rejoin the Megazord. Octospear Megazord uses it's ice breath against Antberry. Antberry freezes up. Octospear Megazord summons it's electric spear. Octospear Megazord strikes Antberry with it's electric spear. Antberry is destroyed. The Rangers are in high spirits. After the battle, the teens take the stolen toys back to Shiba House. Mike, Antonio, and Kevin sort through the toys. Jayden, Emily, and Mia enter the room. Jayden tells them it's best we return these anonymously. We don't want to draw attention to ourselves. Emily thinks it will be fun to play Santa. Mia adds a ho, ho, ho. Everyone grins. Moments later, kids are discovering their toys have been returned.
