Green eyes gazed at the house with uncertainty as she counted the number of breaths she took to calm her racing heart. One, two, three. When she had counted to ten, she glanced back at the house and sighed, she knew she had to get this over with. She took one step, then another until she reached to the front of the house. No doorbell? She couldn't say she was surprised, for a secretive samurai house, no one was supposed to come over and unexpected "guests" would be pulverized in an instant or perhaps a battle would take place somewhere else. She didn't know, it's been years since her family entered that house and she would be the first who would, but it wouldn't cause an uprising. Nobody was home at her house to know where she's been.

"Here goes nothing," she murmured as she opened the door, clutching a cell phone-like thing in her left hand, leaving her right free for any surprise attacks. The place looked empty; no one seemed to be inside. She hesitated, wondering if she had gone in at the wrong time. There was a person though; a mentor who held a wooden-stick like thing is his hands as he walked around the place. "Hello?" she called out nervously, thinking she should flee any minute now to save herself some embarrassment. Mentor Ji stopped, the voice didn't sound familiar, but for sure it wasn't a Nighlok. He walked slowly to where the voice was, gripping his wooden sword if he needed to protect himself. But when he saw the girl, he relaxed. Only slightly. She looked harmless, but you'll never know.

"Did you need something?" he asked, surprised that she was here. She hesitated again, for a slight moment before taking a deep breath, her green eyes meeting his dark ones. She held up the cell phone-like thing and he caught his breath. The purple samuraizer.

"My name is Cecilia, descendent of the purple ranger."

"The beach is so cold!" Emily squealed as Mike splashed her with some water.

"Serves you right for not wearing a jacket!" Mike said teasingly. Emily kicked her feet, splashing water into his direction. Mia sneaked up from behind, taking in as much water as her hands would take before dumping it on his head. He closed his eyes and shivered, feeling the water run down his skin before shouting out, "Truce! Truce!" Jayden chuckled, but felt something ring in his pocket. His samuraizer. His eyebrows knitted in concern as he answered. Kevin glanced at him, worried, thinking that something might have happened, after they had just defeated a Nighlok.

"Hello?" he answered, waiting for whoever was on the other line.

"Jayden, get the others back to the house. Quick!" Mentor Ji said urgently and Jayden felt worry stir inside him. But something in Mentor Ji's voice didn't sound like it was a Nighlok attack, but more of an emergency. What was it?

"We're on our way," Jayden replied, before snapping the phone shut.

"What is it?" Kevin asked anxiously, his eyes a mixture of worry, concern, and curiosity.

"I don't know, but Mentor Ji sounded urgent. Everyone, it's time to get back!" Jayden called to the others and Emily's shoulders slumped.

"But we just got here," she complained, but did as she was told, rushing back to shore, jumping on one foot to get her shoes in. Mia and Mike came up, doing the same thing as Emily.

"Sorry Em, but Mentor Ji just called," Jayden apologized, holding a worried expression.

"What happened?" Mia asked.

"I don't know, but we have to get back there. Quick."

"How long have you had the samuraizer in your possession?" Mentor Ji asked, giving Cecilia a cup of tea, which she took gratefully.

"Ever since I was cleaning out my parents' stuff, I found it in my mother's box with the words 'For Cecilia,' depicted with Sharpie in front of the box. I opened it up and there I found a bunch of old letters, one that was enveloped, a disc thing, and this samuraizer. I opened the enveloped thing and it got me the directions to here and an urgent message saying that I should come to this place, with samuraizer and disc in hand. I have the disc in my bag here," Cecilia said, taking a long sip of her tea before digging around in her designer bag, hinting that she was well-off. Her father was a business man and her mother was a doctor, but still, she worked for what she had wanted and was independent. But there was a difference between pride and independence and she knew it, but didn't admit it. She pulled it out and it was a soft purple, girly, but not over the top and Mentor Ji took it from her gently, inspecting it. He knew it; this was no doubt one of the missing discs that could help with major things that the samurai rangers could not do before.

"Mentor Ji! We got your ca-" Jayden stopped, upon seeing Cecilia. His forehead creased with worry, but his eyes were curious. She shifted in her seat nervously, playing with the ends of her coffee-colored hair. It hung down her waist and was wavy with a side bangs. It had multiple shiny layers and brought out the green in her eyes. Her eyes were fringed with long dark lashes and her lips were a pale pink, no need for lip gloss there.

"Dude why so-" Mike stopped as well, staring at Cecilia. Emily and Mia came in and upon seeing Cecilia; they smiled as if she were here all along. Cecilia gave a tight smile. She was really pretty, but she denied it. But the looks on their faces showed surprise, not attraction, and it was true, she was a stranger in their house. Kevin came in, but he just looked confused.

"Rangers! You're here," Mentor Ji said, surprised at their quick return.

"Ji, who is-" "Oh yes! You haven't met Cecilia," Mentor Ji said, catching on to what Mike was about to say. Jayden stared at Mentor Ji and so did the others, waiting for what he was going to say. Cecilia refused to look up, embarrassed enough already.

"Cecilia, meet Jayden, Kevin, Mia, Emily, and Mike, the Samurai Rangers," Mentor Ji said and Kevin was surprised.

"Mentor Ji, what are you doing?" he asked, flicking a glance at Cecilia. They weren't supposed to tell anyone who they really were, but Mentor Ji looked calm, as if it didn't faze him.

"Cecilia is just like one of you," he stated calmly and they grew even more confused, but Jayden had a flicker of recognition on his face.

"You mean she's also a samurai ranger," he said slowly, unsure of himself.

"Yes, she is the missing Purple Samurai Ranger," Mentor Ji said and Emily gasped.

"Really?" she asked, not believing her eyes. Mentor Ji nodded and gestured for Cecilia to stand up. She shot up, going up as tall as her petite, but model-built structure would allow her. Much to their surprise, she bowed.

"It's a privilege to have met you all," she said softly, the mass of dark hair tumbling over her shoulders like silk. There was no doubt that she was pretty, but a little shy.

"So formal," Mike murmured to Emily and she elbowed him, giving him a quick glare, before he held up both hands in apology. Cecilia stood straight back up again, glancing at their faces to see what emotions they would give away. Jayden looked bewildered, running his fingers through his hair as if he didn't know what to do. Mia knitted her eyebrows together as if trying to believe this is all happening. Kevin hand a hand stroking his chin as if trying to imagine how everything would be like now that she was here. Emily looked happy as if glad that there was another girl ranger on the team. Mike just stared, wondering if she did have training or not. If she didn't, she'd have to do a lot of catching up.

"Cecilia," Jayden started, "Do you really want to enter the team?" Cecilia was taken back, surprised at the question. She didn't know for sure and was a little uncertain. Everything was a blur, but something…drew her to this place.

"I'm not sure myself, but my mother urged me to come over," she explained softly.

"Your mother," Jayden repeated, "And where is she?"

"She…can't come right now," she said with a nervous giggle, shifting her weight from one foot to the other. Mike raised an eyebrow, looking at her reaction. Something was up and it included her mother, but he was in no mood to pry right now, especially not when someone new was in here.

"The purple ranger wasn't declared missing though," Cecilia said, changing the subject. Now everyone's eyebrows rose up, "The purple ranger decided to leave the team on her own, but didn't let anyone know. My mother said that the purple ranger had no attachments to the team so she didn't want anyone to know. So they assumed that she went missing. I think I'm the only proven fact that the purple ranger just didn't go 'missing.'"

"You're saying that the purple ranger left in her own free will?" Kevin asked, "Why?" Cecilia shook her head, sending a mass of coffee-colored hair.

"I don't know really, but my mother did say anything of it, just left me a bunch of letters and some things," she replied and pulled something else from her bag. It was snake-like and was a bright purple color and hissed at everyone.

"It's the-!" "Yes, the SnakeZord I think it was mentioned as," Cecilia said, biting her bottom lip, "It's kind of like a whip…a…lightning whip." Jayden gazed at the SnakeZord with curiosity.

"Does that mean that…the lightning disc originally belongs to you?" he asked, looking up at her. She shrugged.

"I honestly have no idea, whatever I said right now was all I know," Cecilia replied, pulling out an envelope, handing it to Mentor Ji, "But I have this envelope." He took it, but recoiled slightly, feeling the damp texture. She winced. "I sort of accidentally spilled water on it." Mentor Ji shook the feeling off and opened it, unfolding the piece of paper. His eyes scanned the piece of paper, but paused at a particular place before he kept on going.

"…All I can say is that you need time to think of the position now," Mentor Ji said, looking up to the brunette and she hesitated before nodding.

"I'll go to a hotel and-" "It's suggested that you should stay with us," Mentor Ji said firmly and she stopped. Questions were running in her mind and he sensed it. "The Samurai Rangers here can tell you everything and you can decide if you want to join or not." He left, taking the paper with him. Cecilia blinked, feeling everyone's eyes on her and she slowly turned around, staring at the floor.

"This is going to be great!" Emily exclaimed excitedly while Cecilia seemed startled by the sudden outburst, "We'll tell you everything!"

"Uhh sure I-" But Emily cut her off, grabbing both her arm and Mia's arm.

"Wait I-" But before Mia could say anything, they dashed into her room. Jayden shook his head.

"All this in one day," he muttered and Mike let out a low whistle.

"She was pretty," he mumbled, the corner of his lips quirking up. Kevin elbowed him, shaking his head.

"Pretty or not, is she really fit to be on this team?" Kevin said worriedly and Jayden glanced back before turning away.

"I don't really know, but there's one thing for sure, we're going to need the entire team."
