18x12 - Jayden's Challenge

[bunniefuu]

Male narrator: last time
on power rangers samurai:

- Red ranger.

Red ranger!

- Guys, they want jayden.

- I've never heard
anything so evil.

- That was master xandred.

- Why were the moogers
only after jayden?

- Only members of the red
rangers shiba family

Can use the seal.

- We have to protect jayden.
That's our number one mission.

- No!

- This is my fight.
I must do this my own way.

to give up everything

To protect me and my power
to seal master xandred away.

If only they knew.

I can't ever let the team
put themselves at risk again.

[Light beeping]

- I must give jayden room

To find the strength he needs
to lead this team.

- Why do we have to sleep
on these, uncle bulk?

- Because these are what
traditional samurai slept on,

And we must live
like the samurai.

- [Muttering]

- Hey, that's mine.

- Hey, is this your pillow?

- Yeah.

- Yeah? Okay.

They were very--

You're safe now, my darling.

Pink ranger,
you're so wonderful.

[Snoring]

- [Gasps]

- [Snoring loudly]

- You know,
a young samurai once told me

That breakfast is the
most important meal of the day.

- [Grunting]

I told you that.

- Uh-huh.

- [Sighs]

I'll eat once I finish this.

While I've been laid up,

I've been thinking
about the possibility

Of combining the samurai
battle wing and the megazord.

- Last time I had a sick day,
I played video games,

Drank ginger ale,
and had chicken soup.

What's up with you?

- Jayden's still not back.

- Hmm.

- Hello, everyone.

Hi, emily.
Hope you're feeling better.

Have you finished breakfast?

- You can cut
the happy-happy act.

We know something's up.

- We know jayden's gone.

- [Sighs]

Don't worry. He'll be back.

The rest of us just
need to focus on our mission.

- [Snoring]

[Twangy string music]

- Ooh, ah, ooh,
I'd hate to be you

When the boss wakes up and hears
the red ranger is still alive.

- I guess you aren't as vicious
as we thought.

- Bah!

[Glass shatters]

The ranger's had help!

- Had help?

- Yah, some half human.

- Deker?

- What? Deker's helping
the rangers now?

What a headache.

- Good morning, master xandred.

I can take care
of the red ranger for ya

But not if I have to battle
that maniac too.

- Argh,
deker makes me so angry.

I'll destroy him!

[Gulping greedily]

Ah! This isn't my medicine!

[Growls]

All: medicine! Medicine!
Medicine!

- You furry warts
make terrible pets.

All you do is repeat yourselves.
Ooh, ah, ooh.

All: ooh, ah, ooh!
Ooh, ah, ooh!

- Well, good to see you guys
are at least feeling better.

[Sighs]

I remember how messed up
I felt

When a nighlok
att*cked my buddies

Just 'cause
they were hanging with me.

- Think about what
jayden's feeling,

Just knowing that we're
willing to take hits for him.

- Yeah, must be so hard
to know

You're the only ranger
with the sealing power.

- I know.

Imagine if you held the whole
world's fate in your hands.

This is fafrfrom over, deker!

- Oh, he escaped.

You could tell master xandred
had him good.

- He'll survive.

No one should
ever underestimate deker.

sitting on your rump.

Get a move on
and eliminate the red ranger.

With putting any of you

When master xandred
first awakened.

He wanted to take on
this fight alone...

Which is why
he walks alone now.

Jayden will never walk alone
