KEVIN

Page Nine

Kevin pokes his head out of one the doors.  He looked around and then closed the door.  Kevin had a tray of food as he turned and faced the room.  Kevin:  "This is going to be tough to pull off."  Mia walked passed Kevin with a box full of paper garlands.  Mia:  "Have a little faith Kev.  Once we get this stuff ready, all we have to do is hide it."  Mike was working on a Happy Birthday sign for Emily.  Mike:  "Tomorrow's going to be great.  It's Emily's first birthday without her sister.  But it's so cool we're doing something special for her."  All three heard a knocking sound and became alarmed as they stared at the door.  The door opened, it was Jayden.  Kevin and Mia were very relieved.  Mike teased them.  Mike:  "You should have seen your faces.  It looked like Master Xandred was at the door."  Kevin:  "Ha! Ha! We just didn't want Emily to find us."  Jayden:  "The coast is clear.  Emily went outside.  What about the cake?"  Mia confided in them with a conspirator tone.  Mia:  "I've got all the ingredients for an awesome cake.  I just need to bake it without her noticing."  Kevin, Mike, Jayden:  "No!!!"  Mia was taken aback.  Kevin:  "I mean we don't want to risk it  Antonio already ordered the cake from the bakery."  Mike, Jayden, and Kevin all put fake smiles on their faces.  Mia accepted their explanation with grace.  Mia:  "Oh, okay."  Later, in Panorama City, Splitface terrorizes the citizens and takes their spirits.  Once their spirit is taken, the people fall to the pavement unconscious.  Suddenly Splitface is hit from the back.  It is the Power Rangers.  Gold Ranger and Green Ranger race towards Splitface with their weapons drawn.  Splitface calls out body swarm!  His body breaks out into dozens of pieces and the two Rangers are unable to strike Splitface and instead the pieces hit them.  Green Ranger notes it's like dodge ball with teeth.  Then the pieces go after the remaining four Rangers and strikes them several times.   Yellow Ranger, Red Ranger, and Pink Ranger try to use their Spin Swords against Splitface while Blue Ranger uses his Hydro Bow, but it does no good.  Yellow Ranger is hit hard and knocked to the pavement.  Splitface notes Yellow Ranger will make a fine desert.  Yellow Ranger screams no, but her spirit is taken.  Yellow Ranger demorphs and hits the pavement.  Red Ranger and Pink Ranger race over.  Red Ranger is angry and yells, what did you do to her?!  Red Ranger tries to strike Splitface, but his body breaks apart before he can and hits Red Ranger several times instead.  Pink Ranger races over to Emily's still form.  Pink Ranger cradles Emily in her arms and asks if she is okay, but gets no response.  Gold Ranger and Green Ranger are on one side of Splitface while Blue Ranger and Red Ranger are on the other side.  Splitface taunts them by telling them Emily's spirit was delicious.  And in twenty-four hours, it will be mine forever.  The Rangers are in disbelief.  Splitface continues, of course, if you defeat me, you can have all their spirits back.  But you won't have the chance.  Because I'm heading back to the Netherworld, where no mortal can follow.  The Rangers are stunned.  Splitface tells them to enjoy their last day with their friend, because I'm leaving and I won't be coming back.  Red Ranger angrily states, no, we won't let that happen.  Splitface starts to walk away.  Blue Ranger and Green Ranger chase after him with their Spin Swords.  Once more Splitface breaks apart before the two Rangers can strike.  Blue Ranger and Green Ranger are hit several times and fall to the pavement.  Splitface reassembles to land another strike.  Gold Ranger blocks the blow with his Barracuda Blade.  Gold Ranger tells Splitface it's time to take you out.  Red Ranger leaps in with his Spin Sword to help.  Splitface calls out body swarm, breaks apart, and strikes the two Rangers several times.  Splitface reassembles quite a distance from them.  He calls out, have a nice day and then walks into the gap.  Blue Ranger wonders what do they do now?  Pink Ranger feels really bad for Emily.  The sun is already setting.  By this time tomorrow, she may never wake up.  Gold Ranger glances over at the gap.  Emily is taken back to Shiba House and placed in bed.  Mia sits on one side as Mike sits on the other.  Mentor Ji stands at the foot of the bed.  Kevin is standing close by.  Mentor Ji tells them, fifty-four people, including Emily, have had their spirit stolen.  Official hospital reports say the patients are resting comfortably.  But we know better.  Kevin steps forward.  Kevin can't believe by tomorrow night, Emily and all those people could stay asleep forever.  We have to defeat that Nighlok before that happens!  Jayden joins their group.  Mia points out, but he said he won't leave the Netherworld.  What can we do?    Mike replies, we have to do something.  No matter what it takes.  We have to save her.  Kevin, Jayden, and Mentor Ji walked out of the room.  Later, they hear Mike holler that Emily is awake.  Kevin, Jayden, and Mentor Ji rush into the room.  Mia and Mike help prop Emily up.  Emily apologizes to them.  I let him get me.  Mike tells her, don't be silly.  We're just glad you are okay.  Mike hands her a glass of water.  Emily tells them, thanks for putting on the brave face for me.  But I know I'm not okay.  I feel empty.  Mia tells her not to worry.  We will figure it out.  Jayden kneels by Emily's bed and tells her we're not going to let you down.  We'll save you.  Just hold on until then.  Emily falls back asleep.  Mia gets upset, oh no!  She's falling back asleep!  Mike shouts Emily's name, but gets no response.  He gets angry and races out of the room.  Kevin and Mia chase after him.  A few moments later, Jayden follows his friends out.  Kevin and Mia find Mike in the city, striking at the gap with his Spin Sword.  Kevin and Mia run up to him.  Kevin grabs a hold of his arms and yanks him away from the gap as Mia tells him to calm down.  That won't do anything.  Mike feels defeated and asks his friends, then what should we do?  Tell me what should we do?  Kevin and Mia don't have an answer for him.  Jayden comes running up.  He stops in his tracks as Deker appears.  Deker states, it seems I have bad timing.  I thought we could finally duel, but you are obviously preoccupied.  Jayden replies, if you know that, then go away.  Jayden joins his friends and tells Deker, I don't have time for your games, stranger.  Deker tells them, there is one way humans like you can enter the Netherworld.  This catches their attention.  Mike asks really?  Deker tells them, simply trade your human existence to become a Nighlok.  Willingly give yourself over to them and pass through the gap.  Jayden can't believe it.  Wait!  Are you saying you made that choice?  Deker replies, I don't remember how it happened to me.  But I'm living proof it can be done.  Deker transforms into his Nighlok form.  He continues, I welcome you to do it.  You can then fight in ways no human being can.  It will make our impending duel even more glorious.  Deker leaps up and away from them.  Mia is uncertain.  Become a Nighlok? Kevin, Mike, Jayden, and Mia face the gap and stare at it.  Mike tells his friends, I'll do it.  Jayden points out that it's their mission to save the entire world.  You can't just....Mike tells Jayden that he can stay behind.  Emily's the best of us.  She has the sweetest, most caring spirit.  And I won't let that Nighlok keep it.  Kevin tells Mike, I know how much you care about Emily.  We all do.  But remember it's our duty to protect and save the many.  Mike doesn't care.  What I want to save right now is Emily!  And I'll do whatever it takes.  Mia reminds them that they need to save all those poor people in the hospital.  Mia volunteers to go with Mike.  Jayden tells them no, we're a team.  We'll all go.  They nod their heads in agreement and head towards the gap.  Antonio shouts, wait!  Stop!  Antonio tells them that Mentor Ji told him they were here.  Antonio excitedly tells them, I think I may be able to draw that Nighlok back through the gap.  Mike wants to know how?  Antonio answers, it will take a lot of symbol power.  He walks back to his cart and lifts the lid.  Clawzord pops out.  Antonio concludes, and the Clawzord.  Antonio programs the live symbol into his morpher. Kevin, Mia, Jayden, and Mike have their Spin Swords ready.  They all give the command symbol power live!  The symbols hit Clawzord and he grows bigger.  Antonio tells his friends, again!  All five repeat the process and Clawzord gets even larger.  Antonio yells more!  We need more symbol power to fully activate!  Once more the teens strike Clawzord with the symbol power live.  Clawzord gets even bigger.  Kevin, Antonio, Jayden, Mia, and Mike continue to use the power symbol live on Clawzord.  Clawzord becomes very big.  After a few moments, Splitface comes back through the gap, flies towards Clawzord.  Clawzord strikes Splitface and he hits a wall and lands on the pavement.  Splitface asks, what's going on?  Splitface glances at Clawzord and asks what is that?  Antonio answers, my buddy Clawzord.  And he's new in town.  Splitface is confused, but I was in the Netherworld.  How did you get me here?  Antonio answers once more.  It's simple.  When we came in contact, I mark you with a symbol.  The same symbol I've been working with to program the Clawzord.  Splitface is stunned.  What?!  You marked me!  Antonio replies, yeah, and after I finished programming Clawzord, I just needed the other Rangers to help me activate it.  Once we did that, I knew you would be drawn out of the Netherworld just like a magnet.  And it worked like a charm.  Splitface is outrage.  I refuse to believe you can beat me like this.  No! No! No!  Mike tells him to shut up.  You're going to pay for what you did to Emily.  Mia adds, it's time to end this.  Kevin tells Splitface, we're going to take back every spirit you have stolen.  Jayden concludes, enough talk and pulls out his Samuraizer.  Antonio pulls out his morpher and declares, it's time to light you up!  Splitface prepares to blast them.  Kevin, Mia, Mike, Antonio, and Jayden morph.  The Rangers leap through the blast.  Gold Ranger uses his Barracuda Blade against Splitface.  Splitface calls out body swarm, but nothing happens.  Splitface is knocked to the ground.  He wonders why he can't do the body swarm.  Gold Ranger tells him to get with the program.  You've been marked.  Splitface tells the Rangers he is marking all of them for demolition.  Green Ranger tells Splitface it's time to pay.  Splitface replies, no it's not.  Splitface leaps away.  Blue Ranger declares you won't get away this time!  Blue Ranger uses his Hydro Bow against Splitface.  Pink Ranger uses her Sky Fan.  Both weapons hit Splitface and knocked him back down to the pavement.  Green Ranger charges with his Forest Spear and strikes Splitface with it.  Red Ranger charges towards Splitface with his Fire Smasher and strikes Splitface with it.  Splitface is knocked to the ground.  The Rangers are thrilled, but the moment doesn't last long.  Splitface goes into mega monster mode.  Pink Ranger notes without Emily, they can't combine into a Megazord.  Gold Ranger tells the rest of the Rangers, leave it to me.  Clawzord and I will close this deal.  Gold Ranger goes into mega mode power and enters Clawzord.  Clawzord charges towards Splitface.  Splitface uses it's eyes to try and blast Clawzord, but Clawzord keeps coming.  Gold Ranger decides it's time to use the pincher claws.  Clawzord, with it's pincher claws, strikes Splitface several times.  Clawzord then grabs a hold of Splitface and holds him up in the air before tossing him.  Splitface crashes down, but soon gets back up.  Blue Ranger, Green Ranger, Red Ranger, and Pink Ranger watch the battle from the ground.  Splitface declares, enough fooling around!  Splitface summons several giant Moogers.  Clawzord uses it's claw spinners to battle the giant Moogers.  Gold Ranger calls for Clawzord's transformation.  Clawzord forms into Claw Battlezord East.  The giant Moogers charges towards Claw Battlezord East and strike it with their spears.  Claw Battlezord East grabs a hold of two Moogers and yanks them away.  The two Moogers hit the ground.  Other Moogers aim their arrows at it.  Gold Ranger changes the formation to Claw Battlezord West.  The four Moogers fire their arrows.  Claw Battlezord West bats the arrows way.  Soon the four Moogers have Claw Battlezord West trapped within their spears.  Red Ranger notes that Antonio needs their help.  Blue Ranger summons Dragon zord, Red Ranger summons Lion zord, and Green Ranger summons Bear zord, so that they can go into mega mode.  The three Rangers leap into their zords and then summon Swordfish zord, Tiger zord, and Beetle zord.  Swordfish zord, Beetle zord, and Tiger zord form into Battlewing Megazord.  Battlewing Megazord fires at the Moogers.  Claw Battlezord West manages to break free.  Gold Ranger shouts thanks as Battlewing Megazord flies away.  Gold Ranger has Clawzord transform into Claw Battlezord South.  Splitface does not like all the changes.  Claw Battlezord South battles and defeats the Moogers.  Claw Battlezord South then battle Splitface with it's swords.  Claw Battlezord South knocks Splitface away and then strikes Splitface twice.  Splitface is not about to give up.  Claw Battlezord East is formed again.  Gold Ranger calls for the claw pincher slash.  Splitface is hit and this time destroyed.  Immediately the spirits are released.  Later that evening, Kevin, Mike, Jayden, Antonio, and Mentor Ji stay hidden in the room decked out for Emily's birthday.  Soon Emily is standing in the doorway, with Mia close by.  Kevin, Antonio, Mike, and Jayden jump out and yell surprise as confetti falls from the ceiling.  Kevin asks Emily if she is surprised?  Emily is delightfully surprised.  Mike steps forward and hands her a card from her sister, Serena.  Emily opens the birthday card and reads it.  Antonio covers her eyes and walks her over to where Mentor Ji is placing the cake.  Written on the cake is Happy Birthday Emily and Clawzord.  Emily is thrilled and laughs.  Kevin wonders why Clawzord's name is on it.  Antonio tells him, it's Clawzord's birthday too.  Clawzord makes sounds of agreement.  Emily tells her friends, they are the best.  Jayden replies, no Emily, Mike was right.  You're the best.  Emily is touched.  Jayden continues, we're just happy to see that you are okay.  Mia asks who wants cake?  Emily hesitantly asks Mia if she bake the cake?  Mia sadly replies, no sorry.  We got this cake at the bakery.  Emily is relieved but wants to spare her friend's feelings and tells her I understand, you were busy.  Jayden glances over at Kevin and Antonio, who try to keep their faces composed.  Kevin tells her to blow out her candles.  Mia reminds her to make a wish first.  Emily blows out her candles and everyone cheers.
