All we do these days 9

"This seriously sucks," Emily wouldn't let go of her boyfriend.

"You know," he said grudgingly, "I doubt Mike would cling to Mia like this."

"Shut up," she buried her face into his pink blouse.

Knowing he deserved that, he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into his lap. The large metal door slammed, making both Rangers about jump out of their skin. Dayu was suddenly before them, her evil eyes glowing against the smelling, pitch, evil darkness.

"No cuddling," she yanked them apart, "time for Pinkie to get married."

"But I'm too young to be married!" he gulped as she dug her claws into his wrist, dragging him out of the door.

"Jay Jay!" the real Yellow Ranger grabbed his ankle, pulling him hard, trying to save him. But the Nilock demon kicked her away mercilessly, almost breaking her hand.

She watched helplessly as he was dragged off. Tears poured over hazels uncontrollably as she lay there on the coldness, shaking like mad. She was tired of this punishment. It'd gotten them into quite a pickle. Jayden was, like, the strongest of them, but if Mia was there instead, she would beat Dayu easier and resist the crying. They were rivals, so they knew things. But Jayden was there without control of the element and such. And Emily was too emotional and innocent to fight like Mike.

So what exactly would save them?

XXXXXXX

"We've got save them," Antonio told the others.

"No duh…for the 30th time!" Mia growled bitterly.

"And I have kept count!" Kevin snapped, "why are you so worried?"

"We all are, but you look like you're going to have a heart attack," Twilight raised her eyebrows.

"I'm just worried for them because..Emily's my girlfriend?" he sighed loudly and rushed out, trying to impersonate Starr.

"That sounds a lot like me, really," Starr muttered to them softly before going back to acting like Antonio, "well, what are we going to do? That's my buddy in there and I won't let him suffer!"

"There is no telling what she's doing to them," Wesley rubbed his hands together like Twilight would, "I'm so scared for them."

"We'll get them back," Twilight assured, "I promise you that."

"Well, let's get a plan," Nikki rubbed her hands together, "who's got a plan?"

"I think I have one…" Mia laid out the blue print on the table and grinned, "Nikki, you like wedding dresses?"

XXXXXXXX

"I hate you," Nikki growled, which was not like Kevin, but she cared not.

Wincing, Mia spoke, "Yeah, I know. But you look nice."

She grumbled something dirty under her breathe as she looked at herself in the mirror. She was in a wedding dress that billowed around her ankles, and her dark red hair was pinned up in a high bun. She did look stunning, but her glare ruined the image of a beautiful wedding girl.

"You do look amazing," Wesley tried to be like Twilight, who's eyes were sparkling like her real leader's name.

"Yeah," Starr complemented, "besides, you're not alone."

Starr and Twilight were both clad in wedding dresses as well, and Mike was in a tux.

"I am dying here," he whined, and Wesley elbowed him, "OW! What was that ofr?

"You're being unprofessional," he scolded like his girlfriend would, "now, man up and get out there!"

When he shoved him, he winced again and whined, "Stop it! I'm in serious pain here!"

"Baby," Kevin replied for him, shoving him out there.

The others roared with laughter, excluding Mia. She watched through the portal she made by a symbol.

"Be serious, guys," she scolded them, "I'm ashamed at you."

Their smiles vanished as they gathered around her. Starr, Twilight, and Nikki pulled their veils over their faces and went into the hideout among the brides. The ladies were all shaking and crying, talking and a few gushing about 'marrying a Ranger boy'. The trio joined in, holding each other and muttering about how he was a 'dreamboat.' Suddenly, Dayu swept in, making them all hush.

"Alright," the Nilock held Jayden up by the neck painfully, "which one of you wants to marry him?"

About half the crowd squealed and waved their hands all around. Twilight and Starr were part of it, but Nikki leaned against the wall and scowled.

"I don't," she announced loudly, and the female demon turned to her with a chuckle.

XXXXXXXXX

Mentor hated every freaking second of this rigged wedding. And sadly, he had to unite his poor son figure with some angry chick who wasn't showing her face. Her ears were redder than her hair, proving her bitterness. Jayden was pale and looked fairly hard not to cry. He was miserable, and Dayu was visibly enjoying every second of it.

"Do you, Jayden Shiba, take…?" he looked at the girl, "what's your name?"

"Stacy," she replied in a deep voice.

"…Stacy, as your lovely wedded wife?" he finished blandly.

Jayden let a tear go as he spoke gravely and shakily, "I do."

"And do you, Stacy, take Jayden as your husband?" he hated every word of this.

"Well," she let go of his hand, "I most certainly do not." She did a backflip and kicked Dayu in the jaw, her hoop flying back over her legs and she went in front of the other tortured brides.

"What?" the demon snapped, rising, looking ready to murder, "who do you think you are, anyway?"

"I am Nikkiel," she replied, yanking off her veil, "and you are going down."

She yanked out her morpher and made her real symbol.

"Power of Darkness: Darkness!" she yelled, striking it and morphing, "Dark Ranger: Nikki! Ready!"

"Power of Darkness: Night!" another bride, Starr, called, morphing as well, "Dark Ranger: Starr! Ready!"

"Power of Darkness; Shadows!" a third bride, Twilight, declared, getting clad in her suit, "Dark Ranger: Twilight! Ready!"

"Dark Rangers Together, Justice Forever!" the three struck down, striking their poses to finish.

"You tricked me," she hissed before snatching up Jayden like Decker had at the end of The Tengen Gate, "then in that case, I'll just be taking the Samurai!"

She started to run away, going like lightning. The three Dark Rangers charged, surrounding her and brandishing her weapons.

"It feels good to be in the right suit," Twilight commented as they closed in.

"Yep," Nikki agreed, "you're going to regret ever trying to make me marry Red over there."

"Ready to try out our new toys?" Starr grinned, glad they could finally do it.

"Totally," Nikki pulled her out her power disk they'd received just before the whole color-switch, "Spin Sword: Darkness Drench!"

But before she spun it, the Nilock spoke, "But you'd hurt your husband, deary!" She held him up like a shield to prove her point.

Shaking her head, she replied, "I don't think so."

"Hello there," Jayden smiled at Dayu before smashing her in the back with…his Forest Spear?

"Nice work, Mike," Starr high fived him as he retreated.

"Yeah," he smiled, "come on, guys!"

"That's you," Mia turned to the team, but they were already there.

"Samuraizers!" the others got there real quick to make their symbols with him, "go, go Samurai!"

"Yes, our right outfits!" Kevin grinned, pulling out his sword, "let's get her!"

"If only," the demon hissed as they started fighting, "you'll never know what hit you!" She sent them rolling.

XXXXXXXXX

"Jayden," Mia's voice spoke in his ear. The almost groom to be looked at her from hiding behind the platform with Mentor.

"Mia," he sighed, relived, "thank goodness you guys are here."

"Drop the act," she smiled, "we're taking a break from that. Here." She handed him her morpher and took her own.

"That explains Mike," he shrugged, remembering the trick he'd been a part of.

"Hey, dude," Mike tapped his shoulder as he watched the Dark Rangers morph, "what's up?"

"Mike?" he whispered in alarm.

"Hide and let Daddy work his magic," he spoke, pointing behind the platform, "go man!"

Nodding, confused, the Red Ranger did so with Mentor.

"Yes. Yes, it does," she laughed, "come on, it's go go time. I'll go get Emily."

She morphed softly with him, and they split. Mentor sighed and mumbled, "Time to get in there." He went over to the other confused brides and spoke, "You didn't see anything, this is a dream, we're going to walk now." He led them out of the room.

XXXXXXXX

"Miss me much?" Mia spoke to Emily as she wept.

"Mia! How did you…? You know, I don't care!" the blonde clung to her big sister figure, "thanks a million!"

"Well," the dark haired girl helped her up, "come on, let's go bash in some Nilock head!"

"What about Jay?" she asked as they ran, the Pink Ranger handed her her mopher, "and is this…?"

"Yes, and look," the younger girl squealed at the fight, relived, "come on, now!"

"Oh, yeah," giggling innocently, the Yellow Ranger went…well, Ranger, and charged in for some serious revenge time.

"Spin Sword: Dark Drench!" Nikki called, spinning the disk. The darkness of the dungens suddenly bended around the beast, slamming her down.

"Spin Sword: Shadow Slam!" Twilight yelled, spinning her own disk. The shadows emerged to pull Dayu, trapping her on the wall.

"Spin Sword: Night Nightmares!" Starr grinned, doing the same. Suddenly, star spikes rained on the beast, making her crumple.

The Samurai did the same and slashed, "Hiya!"

"See ya'!" Dayu suddenly jumped through a GAP before she died.

"Dang it!" Emily protested, and everyone stared at her anger at not killing, "what?"

XXXXXXXX

"You went against my orders," Mentor looked at his students and half students in the Dojo, "and fought with the new disks when I told you not too."

"We're really…" Mia began, but he raised his hand to stop her.

"I am proud," he chuckled, "you trusted your instincts and basically beat her. I know you did the right thing."

"So…we're good?" Wesley asked hopefully.

"Please tell me this punishment is over," Kevin begged.

"Well…one thing before so," Ji smiled slyly, "you still have to date."
