Isabella's POV
Deker has the sword of Urumasa as he pulls it out to point to us. Antonio and I look at Jayden.

Me: "I have a bad feeling about this."

Antonio: "Why now? He's too exhausted."

Me: "Yeah. He is really tired."

Out of nowhere, the army of moogers appeared behind Deker and in front of us.

Deker: "Master Xandred and his noodle face crony Octoroo have seen to it that we are interrupted yet again."

Deker morphed to his form. The three of us exchanged looks at each other. The moogers were marching toward us but Deker stopped them.

Deker: "No one touched the Red Ranger. He's mine!"

Deker is fighting the army of moogers on his own. The three of us are watching him fight.

Antonio: "He's relentless."

Me: "Tell me about it."

Deker knocked all the moogers to the ground.

Antonio: "Not even a challenge for him."

Me: "Yeah, this is going to be a tough battle."

Deker put the sword down as he transformed back to his human side.

Deker: "All right, Red Ranger. Our time to duel has come."

Me: "Absolutely not."

Antonio stepped forward.

Antonio: "No, not now. We just finished a battle. Besides, we rangers don't fight for the sake of fighting."

Deker: "Red Ranger, I'll give you 24 hours but there will be no further delay. Tomorrow, meadow will meet metal."

Jayden: "Didn't you hear Antonio? I won't fight for fighting's sake. I only fight to protect the innocent."

Deker: "Well, then, if you don't show, I doubt I'll be able to control myself."

Jayden: "What's that mean?"

Deker: "Disappoint me and I may not be able to hold my nighlok side much longer. I could possibly attack whoever is near. That includes the white ranger."

Me: "What!?! This is crazy!"

Jayden: "You'd threaten random people and Bella. Then you're not half human. You're a true nighlok."

Deker: "Call me what you want but no one will be safe and my victim's pain will be your fault not mine."

Jayden: "Then you leave me no choice. I will fight and I will defeat you."

Deker: "Noon tomorrow by the sea."

Deker walks away from us as we see him go away. The three of us went back to the Shiba House with the rest of the team. I am with Mia in the kitchen to relax after everything that happens today. Emily came in.

Emily: "Hey, Mia. Hey, Bella."

Mia: "I was just going to bring some tea for you."

Emily walked in to sit in.

Emily: "Thank you but you need to stop fussing over me. I'm almost as good as new."

Mia brings the tea to Emily.

Me: "What's wrong, Mia?"

Mia: "It's just that it was time to fight Dayu, I hesitated and then you got hurt."

Emily: "I understand."

Me: "Me too."

Emily: "Seeing Dayu's past in that dream world, it must have been hard on you."

Mia: "That's the problem. I can't afford to let my feelings get in the way of our mission anymore."

Emily: "You're really being too hard on yourself."

Me: "Yeah and that puts you under a lot of pressure."

Suddenly, Mike walks in.

Mike: "Guys, we're all meeting in the living room. It's important."

All of us are sitting except for Kevin standing up and walking around the living room at the Shiba House.

Kevin: "Jayden, it's crazy to do this. Take on Deker and do it alone."

Antonio: "Deker insists that's how it has to be."

Kevin: "You can't do this. A samurai only fights battles that are necessary."

Jayden: "This is necessary. If I don't go, Deker threatened to hurt innocent people, including Bella here."

Me: "That is really true. If Jayden doesn't battle him, I could be in danger because of Deker."

Kevin: "Okay fine. We'll handle him just like any other nighlok as a team."

Jayden stood up.

Jayden: "Kevin, you don't get it. If I'm not alone, it won't satisfy him."

Kevin: "Since when do we let a nighlok dictate how we battle?!"

Mia: "I know now that Deker won't stop until Jayden duels him. We have to let him go."

Kevin: "Mia, how could you say that? Jayden isn't just our leader. He's also the only one who has the sealing power. Jayden, you're the key to stopping the nighlok."

Mike: "Kev's right. You shouldn't risk it."

Jayden: "This discussion is over."

Jayden walked out the living room as we didn't know what to do about this. Later at night at the Shiba House, Mike, Antonio, Mentor Ji, me, and Mia are in the kitchen. Mentor Ji gave each of us some tea to drink.

Antonio: "Why are we so worried? Jayden can be anyone. He'll be fine."

Emily: "Yeah, I'm sure he will."

Mike: "Yeah."

Me: "I totally agree."

Mia: "All I know is that Deker needs to be dealt with. And hesitating would be a mistake."

Mentor Ji: "I am afraid Mia is right. There is no other choice but to fight Deker. We just have to have faith that Jayden is prepared for this battle."

Mike: "Yeah."

Emily: "Okay."

Me: "Alright."

Next Day
All of us except for Mentor Ji are waiting for Jayden outside of the Shiba House to support him. Jayden opened the door to see all of us standing in front of him. Jayden walked to us.

Emily: "Good Luck, Jayden."

Me: "You definitely need it."

Mike: "You can do this, bro."

Mike and Jayden fist bumped each other. Antonio patted his shoulder.

Antonio: "You're the best. I have known that since we were kids. It is no different today."

Mia: "Do what needs to be done."

Jayden walks to Kevin. When is he about to say something to Jayden but the Gap Sensor is on meaning it was a Nighlok attack in the city.

Kevin: "Nighlok attack! Jayden, what now?"

Mentor Ji came in toward us.

Mentor Ji: "Rhinosnorus back!"

We all looked at Jayden to see what was the plan if Jayden battled Decker while the rest battled Rhinosnorus.

Jayden: "Here."

Jayden has the lion disk and the beetle disk in his hand in front of Kevin.

Kevin: "I don't understand."

Jayden: "With these discs, you can form the megazord without me. I need you to lead the team until I get back. I know you can do this."

Me, Mike, Mia, Emily and Antonio looking at Kevin and Jayden as Kevin makes a decision about it. Kevin takes both the lion disk and the beetle disk from Jayden.

Kevin: "It'll be an honor. I won't let you down, Jayden."

Kevin looks at us.

Kevin: "Come on, Rangers. Let's stop that nighlok."

All of us but Jayden and Mentor Ji ran to the city to fight Rhinosnorus again. We are at the city to see Rhinosnorus about to attack a citizen but Kevin's folding zord saves him just in time. The dragon folding zord came back to Kevin. All of us stopped running to see Rhinosnorus in front of us.

Kevin: "All right, team. We can do this."

All of us grabbed our samuraizers out.

All of us: "Samuraizer! Go Go Samurai!"

We created our symbols to morph differently. All of us grabbed our spin sword in one hand. I put the spin sword onto the holder as I grabbed the black disk to put it to the spin sword. I grabbed the spin sword as I put it out.

Me: "Samurai Ranger, Ready."

All of us: "Rangers together, Samurai forever!"

Rhinosnorus: "All right, Moogers. Attack!"

The army of moogers appeared in front of us. The moogers ran toward us.

Kevin: "For Jayden!"

We ran to an army of Moogers to fight them separately on our own. I slashed one of the moogers while kicking and slashed another one. I slashed another mooger while slashed another one. I'm done fighting the army of moogers on my own as I came to the rest of the team to check on Kevin.

Emily: "Kevin!"

Mike: "Hey, are you alright?"

Kevin: "Yeah, let's go."

We all run to Rhinosnorus as we start fighting. Me, Mia and Emily rolled under him just in time as the boys were fighting Rhinosnorus but of course they were knocked down by him.

Mike: "Antonio, grab him."

Antonio and Mike grabbed one arm of Rhinosnorus each side.

Antonio: "I got him. Now what to be doing with him?"

Mike: "I didn't think that far ahead."

Rhinosnorus lets go of Antonio and Mike as they are on the ground already. Mia, Emily, me and Kevin are fighting Rhinosnorus now. Mia and Emily dodged one of his hands while Kevin and I were about to fight Rhinosnorus. But Rhinosnorus kicked both of us as he fought Emily and also Mia at the same time. Antonio is standing up and ready to fight Rhinosnorus again on his own.

Antonio: "Hey, mind if I cut him."

Antonio tried to fight him but Rhinosnorus slashed him on the chest that made Antonio roll over the ground.

Rhinosnorus: "Your turn, blue boy."

Kevin: "Say hello to my hydro bow."

Kevin blasted at Rhinosnorus that made Rhinosnorus destroyed in his first form as a nighlok.

Kevin: No, our problem just got a lot bigger."

Now Rhinosnorus is a mega monster in front of us.

Rhinosnorus: "I'm going to put you all to sleep permanently."

Kevin takes out Jayden's lion disk in his hand to look at it.

Kevin: "We need to make a megazord move."

Mike: "You're the boss."

Kevin: "Then let's do this."

Me: "Alright."

We ran toward the city except for Antonio.

Antonio: "You guys go ahead. I'm too weak."

We grabbed our samuraizers and folding zords as we put the spin swords to the sky that is created to mega blades. We put our folding zords to the ground.

Kevin: "Dragon folding Zord."

Mike: "Bear folding Zord."

Emily: "Ape folding Zord."

Mia: "Turtle folding Zord."

Me: "Panda folding Zord."

All of us: "Mega Mode Power!"

We jumped and got to the mega blades to the sky as we were into our zords. We put our mega blades into the slots as we put the black disks in front of us.

Kevin: "You guys ready?"

Emily: "Yes."

Mia: "Without hesitation."

Mike: "Add it, girl."

Me: "Let's do this, Kevin."

Kevin: "Zords combined."

All of the six zords combined to form the Samurai Megazord.

Kevin: "Samurai Megazord, we are united."

All five of us are in the megazord cockpit to control it.

Kevin: "All right, team. Let's get to work."

Rhinosnorus: "You're still gonna snooze and lose."

Kevin: "We're dreaming. We're teaming up to take you out."

Rhinosnorus: "I'm gonna hop and pop until you drop."

Rhinosnorus is hopping up and down like a kangaroo.

Kevin: "Whoa."

Me: "I did not see this coming."

Emily: "Stay calm, Kevin. I know you can handle this."

Kevin: "Right."

Rhinosnorus is hopping up and down around the megazord that caused it to shake.

Mike: "I guess we made him popping mad."

Me: "I think we did, Mike."

Rhinosnorus: "You have no idea where to hit next."

Rhinosnorus slashed the megazord that caused us to fall back except for Kevin for staying on. We are getting back to controlling the megazord.

Kevin: "Hold on, guys. We can do this. Let's make Jayden proud."

The megazord takes out the spin sword.

Kevin: "Katana power."

The megazord slashed Rhinosnorus that made him on the ground.

Mike: "Let's put this guy to bed."

Me: "Literally agree."

Rhinosnorus: "But I'm not tired."

Kevin: "Lights out, Nighlok."

All of us: "Samurai Strike."

We used the samurai strike to defeat Rhinosnorus once and for all.

Kevin: "Samurai rangers, victory is ours. Wow, that was a lot tougher than I expected but we did it."

Afterwards, all of us including Antonio demorphed and went to the location where Jayden was fighting Deker. All of us ran to the location to see Jayden demorphed and a sprained wrist.

Emily: "Jayden!"

We all rushed to surround Jayden to make sure he's okay.

Kevin: "Jayden, are you alright?"

Jayden: "Yeah."

Mia: "And Deker?"

Me: "Is he. . ."

Jayden: "Gone."

Kevin: "Let's get you home."

We are all helping Jayden standing up to go back to the Shiba House. Mike, Kevin and I are with Jayden to talk.

Jayden: "Kevin, thank you for leading the team when I couldn't."

Kevin: "It was an honor but it's not my job."

Me: "Or anyone on the team except for you, Jayden."

Mike: "It could only be one red ranger."

Jayden and Mike fist bumped as Antonio came in with food.

Antonio: "Hey guys, dinner is served."

We see a cooked fish in pieces. It is really cool though.

Mike: "Dude, that fish with mega mode."

We are walking up to Antonio.

Antonio: "Hey, when I serve a fish to my friends, it's gotta be the best. That's the gold standard."

All of us sat at a table outside to eat. Antonio gives the plate to Mia.

Mia: "Thanks, Antonio."

Jayden: "Everyone, I just want to say I'm sorry."

We all looked up to Jayden.

Jayden: "I know I had to do with Deker to stop him from hurting that includes Bella here. But I also think something in me wanted to fight him. To prove myself worthy of being the Red Ranger."

Emily: "No, Jayden. He forced your hand."

Mike: "You did what you had to do."

Me: "It is your decision to do it. Not me or anyone on this team for sure."

Jayden: "Maybe. But there's still much to do and I promise I won't jeopardize our mission again."

Kevin: "Deker's gone but Master Xandred is still out there and until he is defeated no one is safe."

Mentor Ji takes out the black box as Antonio sees it.

Jayden: "As rangers, it's our responsibility to save the world from the nighlok. I'm just grateful we don't have to do it alone."

All of us nodded at Jayden.

All of us: "Rangers together, Samurai forever!"

All of us let our fists out as a team.
