Page Eight

The gap sensor goes off.  Jayden and his friends race out of Shiba House.  They used their Samuraizer to morph and race out of the gates.  Giant size Moogers and normal size Moogers are attacking the city.  Yellow Ranger and Pink Ranger battle the normal size Moogers on the ground with their Spin Swords.  Red Ranger is in his Tiger Zord.  Blue Ranger is in his Swordfish Zord and Green Ranger is in his Beetle Zord.  Tiger Zord, Swordfish Zord, and Beetle Zord race through the city.  Green Ranger:  Kevin, we got giant Moogers dead ahead.  Blue Ranger:  Yeah, it's time to team up.  Green Ranger:  Sounds like a plan.  Let's do it Jayden.  Red Ranger:  Zords combine!  Samurai Battlewing!  Blue Ranger, Green Ranger, Red Ranger:  Samurai Battlewing!  We are united!  Samurai Battlewing flies towards the giant Moogers.  Red Ranger:  Punch it!  Samurai Battlewing fires and the giant Moogers are destroyed.  Blue Ranger:  Yeah!  Green Ranger:  Doing it!  Blue Ranger:  Booyah!  Red Ranger Blue Ranger, and Green Ranger arrived to help Pink Ranger and Yellow Ranger with the normal size Moogers.  Red Ranger and the rest of the Rangers form a circle and face the endless Moogers.  Yellow Ranger:  Man, are we glad to see you guys.  Green Ranger:  Wow!  There's a whole lot of ugly here.  Red Ranger:  Yupe.  Time to change this picture.  Red Ranger places a disc on his Spin Sword.  Red Ranger:  Spin Sword!  Blazing Strike!  Several Moogers are destroyed.  Blue Ranger:  Spin Sword!  Dragon Splash!  Blue Ranger destroys several more Moogers.  Pink Ranger:  Spin Sword!  Air Wave!  Yet more Moogers are destroyed.  Green Ranger:  Spin Sword!  Forest Vortex!  Green Ranger destroys more Moogers.  Yellow Ranger:  Spin Sword!  Seismic Quake!  The remaining Moogers are destroyed.  Unfortunately more Moogers seeps out of gap.  Green Ranger:  What?  There's more!  Pink Ranger:  They're like roaches.  Blue Ranger:  Then we have to be the exterminators.  Blue Ranger and the rest of the Rangers battle the new batch of Moogers with their Spin Swords.  Green Ranger is battling a Mooger.  Green Ranger:  Man, you Moogers just don't quit.  The Mooger becomes distracted.  Green Ranger:  Hun?  The Mooger knocks Green Ranger to the ground and walks towards Red Ranger.  Green Ranger:  Hey, what gives?  Another Mooger has Pink Ranger in a hold when he suddenly lets go of her and walks towards Red Ranger.  Pink Ranger:  What?  Guys they want Jayden!  Blue Ranger:  What are you doing cowards!  Come back and fight.  Red Ranger has been battling several Moogers and he notices they are all headed towards him.  Red Ranger:  What's gong on?  They all hear a strange voice chanting.  From a gap, Master Xandred is chanting.  Master Xandred:  Red Ranger.  Red Ranger.  Red Ranger.  Red Ranger recognizes the voice and whispers to himself.  Red Ranger:  Master Xandred.  Green Ranger:  Hey, check it out!  That weird voice is putting these Moogers into a trance. Yellow Ranger:  Yeah, it's like they're hypnotize.  Green Ranger:  It's creeping me out.  Blue Ranger:  Hey, let's circle up to protect Jayden.  Blue Ranger, Green Ranger, Pink Ranger, and Yellow Ranger leaped over to where Red Ranger was and immediately began battling the Moogers surrounding Red Ranger.  Blue Ranger:  Jayden, watch out!  Red Ranger:  I wanted to try out a new symbol combination for awhile and now is the time.  Red Ranger takes Yellow Ranger's Spin Sword.  Red Ranger:  Spin Sword!  Blazing Storm!  The Moogers are destroyed.  They all can hear Master Xandred's voice coming from the gap.  Master Xandred:  Red Ranger, you're in danger.  Master Xandred laughs and vanishes form within the gap.  Yellow Ranger:  Oh no!  Red Ranger walks towards where the voice came from.  He demorphs as he walks.  Kevin, Mike, Mia, and Emily demorph as well.  Mike:  Alright, could someone please tell me what the heck that voice was?  Emily:  I never heard anything so evil.  Mia:  That wasn't just a normal Nighlok, was it Jayden?  Jayden:  No.  I think that was Master Xandred.  Kevin:  Master Xandred!  As in the Lord of the Nighloks?  You think he's back?  Mike:  Are you serious?  Why would he be calling out Red Ranger, Red Ranger?  Why just you?  Jayden didn't have an answer for him.  Jayden and his friends returned to Shiba House.  Mentor Ji was with them.  Kevin:  Why were the Moogers only after Jayden?  Mentor Ji:  Jayden, Master Xandred must know.  Mike:  Know what?  Are you keeping secrets from us?  Mentor Ji:  There is a secret symbol that can create a seal.  The previous Red Ranger used it to imprison Master Xandred.  When Master Xandred last attacked us, it was a surprise, and we were nearly defeated.  That symbol is how Jayden's father was able to seal Xandred away last time.  Mike:  So that means that's Jayden now.  Mentor Ji:  Yes.  Only members of the Red Ranger Shiba family can use the seal.  Mike:  Guess that means you really are the man.  Emily:  Jayden's father did everything he could to save us.  It becomes too much for Jayden and he gets up and walks out.  Kevin:  Jayden, wait!  Later, Jayden is walking towards the courtyard, when he hears his friends talking.  He stops for a moment and listens.  Kevin:  If we work as a team, we can protect Jayden from anything.  Emily:  Now I see it.  That's why we've been training our whole lives.  Jayden is angry and he steps outside.  Jayden:  No!  That's not necessary.  You protect yourselves.  It's business as usual.  Jayden grabs a stick as he walks towards the end of the courtyard.  Jayden:  Stay focused on the battle at hand as a team, okay.  Kevin:  We must protect you at all costs.  Kevin swung his stick down.  Jayden:  No!  Jayden strikes the dummy with his stick.  Jayden:  That's just too much of a burden to bear.  Jayden begins working out as his friends just stare at him.  the gap sensor goes off.  Jayden and his friends take off.  They arrive outside of the city.  Emily:  the Nighlok must be here somewhere.  Mike:  There he is!  Jayden and his friends look in the direction Mike had pointed to.  Above them is a Nighlok.  Robtish:  Which one of you is the Red Ranger?!  Jayden steps forward.  Robtish:  Why hello there!  Rumor has it that you got some special tricks up your sleeve. Robtish announces he has to destroy him.  Jayden shouts back, I'll show you who's going to be sorry.  Mia whispers to Kevin that Master Xandred must know that Jayden has the sealing power.  Jayden walks towards Robtish.  Kevin and Mike catch up with him and grab his arms to stop him.  Kevin tells him this is too dangerous.  This is exactly the type of battle you should avoid.  Let us do our duty and protect you.  Jayden shakes them off and races forward to morph.  Robtish tries to blast Jayden, but misses.  Red Ranger leaps towards Robtish with his Spin Sword drawn.  Red Ranger and Robtish immediately fight, trying to strike each other with their swords.  Soon Mia, Kevin, Mike, and Emily morph.  With their Spin Swords drawn, the four Rangers race forward.  Several Moogers arrive.  Blue Ranger, Yellow Ranger, Green Ranger, and Pink Ranger are kept busy battling the Moogers with their Spin Swords.  With the battles going on, no one notices that Deker has arrived.  As Robtish and Red Ranger battle, Robtish tells Red Ranger this fight is kind of fun.  You are not bad.  Red Ranger replies, save the compliments.  The rest of the Rangers want to help Red Ranger, but they are still battling the Moogers.  Robtish strikes Red Ranger and he lands on the ground.  But Red Ranger doesn't give up and strikes Robtish with his Spin Sword.  Red Ranger gets up and strikes to strike Robtish again, but Robtish traps the Spin Sword's blade within his own weapon.  Robtish then knocks the Spin Sword away.  Robtish strikes Red Ranger several times with double slash.  Despite his own battle, Blue Ranger becomes alarmed when he sees Red Ranger is hit and flying through the air.  Red Ranger hits the ground once more.  Robtish leaps over to where Red Ranger is laying.  Red Ranger struggles as he tries to get up.  Robtish tells Red Ranger he thought he would be tough, but he's crawling around like a bug.  I love to crush bugs!  Blue Ranger alerts the rest of the Rangers to what is happening, as they continue to battle the Moogers.  Blue Ranger and Yellow Ranger race over to Red Ranger.  Robtish hits Blue Ranger and Yellow Ranger with his double slash.  Numerous explosions erupt as Yellow Ranger and Blue Ranger are hit.  Kevin and Emily demorph and fall to the ground. Red Ranger is upset.  This exactly what I didn't want to happen.  Robtish walks towards them.  He tells Red Ranger, those fools must really care about you.  That's their mistake.  Red Ranger tries to protect Emily and Kevin with his body.  Green Ranger and Pink Ranger destroy the Moogers.  They leap over to where their friends are.  Pink Ranger and Green Ranger are ready to protect Emily, Kevin, and Red Ranger.  Robtish thinks he's got a deal - five for the price of one.  Before Robtish can strike, Deker leaps in front of the Rangers and blocks the blow.  Deker quickly strikes Green Ranger and Pink Ranger.  They demorph and hit the ground.  Red Ranger grabs his Spin Sword and blocks a blow from Deker.  Robtish asks Deker what's he doing here?  Deker replies that Red Ranger is his opponent, not yours.  I'll ask you once, please leave.  Robtish doesn't want to.  Robtish races towards them.  Robtish, Red Ranger, and Deker battle each other.  Mia and Mike are too weak to help and can only watch the fight.  During the battle, Robtish tells Deker that is enough.  Red Ranger is my opponent to defeat.  The fight between Deker, Red Ranger, and Robtish continues and becomes intense.  Eventually it ends with each of them holding a sword against the other.  Robtish laughs.  He backs away and tells them they are both in luck as he is drying out.  Robtish warns Deker that Master Xandred will not be happy about this.  Robtish retreats through a gap.  Red Ranger asks Deker why he helped him?  Deker tells him my only desire to find someone skilled enough to be my opponent.  Someone worthy to clash with my Uramasa.  Mike calls a warning, telling Red Ranger not to fight Deker.  Red Ranger doesn't listen and soon it's Red Ranger and Deker battling.  Red Ranger is hit early on.  Mia panics as she sees Red Ranger is hurt.  Deker comments that was too easy.  This isn't the battle I want.  Robtish's double slash took too much out of you.  Uramasa won't be satisfied unless you are at your peak.  Deker brings down Uramasa to strike Red Ranger.  Red Ranger gets out of the way and the rock that was behind him is sliced in half.  Deker tells Red Ranger to go.  You need to be at full strength to even have a chance with me.  Deker leaps up to the top of a cliff.  Deker goes into human form and tells Red Ranger you will satisfy my hunger.  You will give me the battle I have desired for centuries.  So for now, I will leave you be.  Deker vows when Red Ranger is at his best, then they will duel.  Red Ranger gets back up, as does Mia and Mike. Mia and Mike run over to Red Ranger.  Mike yells at Deker, asking him, what are you anyways?  Are you a Nighlok?  Deker replies that he is Deker.  Nothing more, nothing less.  Deker walks away.  Mia is puzzled about Deker, but then she hears Emily and Kevin groaning in pain.  Mia runs over to them, followed by Mike.  Mike pulls out his Samuraizer and contacts Mentor Ji, telling him, we need help.  Kevin and Emily are beat up.  Red Ranger demorphs.  Mia tells Emily to hold on.  Jayden stares at his friends for a moment and then runs over to them.  They manage to get back to Shiba House.  Later, Jayden steps out of a room and takes a look around.  Seeing no one, he walks outside and stops to look at the full moon.  Jayden continues on his way out.  He can heard Mentor Ji inside the house, calling for him.  Jayden pauses at the gate and thinks to himself, I'll never put them in harm's way again.  This is my fight.  I must do this my own way.  Jayden walks out of the gates.
