Emily (2008)

I was walking down an alley in the city, trying not to think about what was about to happen. Instead I was focused on following my Ape Zord so I wouldn't get lost. I'm a country girl who's never been to the city before. Growing up on my parent's farm I'm used to trees and meadows, not skyscrapers and traffic. I left home several hours ago when I received the arrow, calling me to duty in the city.

Oh by the way I'm Emily, I'm 16 years old and I am the 19th Yellow Samurai Power Ranger. Right now I'm on my way to meet the other rangers and start protecting the world from nighloks.I've been lost in my own world for a few minutes when Ape Zord starts getting excited.

"Are we almost there?" I ask while laughing. She nods so I start running to the meeting place that will change my life forever. Two minutes later I can see a black SUV with the ranger emblem on it parked under a bridge. I can also see a guy and a girl talking in front of it. They seem friendly so I keep running over to meet my teammates.

"Are you the red ranger?" I ask the guy. He's African American wearing black swimming shorts, a blue jacket and carrying a blue gym bag. He looks dedicated and somewhat of a perfectionist.

"No I'm the blue. Kevin" he smiles and shakes my hand. I smile back and introduce my name and colour.

"My name is Mia, I'm the pink ranger." Mia has an Asian look to her with black hair, dark eyes and olive skin. Her voice is sweet and welcoming, I've known her for 5 minutes but I can already tell she's graceful, strong and a great fighter. I'm never going to be able match up to her but I can't let the others know what I'm thinking so I keep smiling.

"So you guys must be my peeps." We look up to see a guy smirking and walking towards us. He's wearing jeans with a black shirt and a green jacket. He also has dark skin but green eyes. A fun loving joker it seems.

"You're the red ranger?" Kevin sounds a bit doubtful at this guy's greeting. The guy in green looks offended at being called red. "No I'm the mighty green. I'm Mike." The four of us talk for a few minutes when we hear the footsteps of a horse.

"Woah" I look to see the most beautiful white horse carrying the most handsome guy I have ever seen. He has chiselled features and cocoa blonde hair but what catch my attention is his eyes, I've never seen such a vibrant shade of blue before. I can tell he's strong, determined and loyal but I get the sense that he's had to grow up fast. I can sense something else but it's too hidden for me to be sure.

"With an entry like that, you've gotta be the red ranger." Mike has a smirk on his face, was he expecting something like this?

"Yes. I'm Jayden the red ranger. "

He doesn't smile, playing the part of a fearless leader. "Let me warn you now: once you decide to follow me, there is no turning back. Either we defeat the nighlok together or they take over the world. Do not accept because you we're trained to do so. Accept only if you are willing to live and fight as samurai rangers."

"Without hesitation" Kevin only waits a second before declaring his loyalty.

"I've been training for this since I was a little girl, so yes." Mia manages to unknowingly kill all my self-confidence with that statement.

Oh my god this is really happening, I'm about to pledge my life to these guys, to save Serena's.

"I'm ready to give it all I've got." I'll do everything I can to make these guys and Serena proud of me.

"Ok ok do we have to be so formal? Let's do this thing." The atmosphere is lighten by Mike's answer, Jayden hands us our samuraizers and leads us towards the Shiba house, my new home for however long it takes to defeat the nighlok.
