:-:-:-: Stand and fight! We must unite! Power Rangers Mystic Knights, LET'S GO! :-:-:-:

The call has come from ages of old
From the days of Camelot shall behold
Five magic swords will give us the power
To conquer evil, it's our finest hour

We will fight to save our precious land
Against the villain that we cannot stand
No more will we repeat the failure of the past
Evil's malevolent quest we shall outlast

Heed the call of the Knights of Old
'Round the table we shall unite
Stand and fight for the legends told
Pooower Rang-gers MYS-TIC KNIGHTS!

The bus traveled down the Welsh highway at average speed. Why be in a hurry? Their destination had been there for centuries, it wasn't going to go anywhere any time soon. The grey skies were a simple background effect, but it was mostly cloudy, so there was some sun. But for some, going average speed isn't good enough. It's not that they want to die in a horrific crash that could have been prevented if the bus traveled the speed limit. It's more like they didn't really want to be in this current situation. One such passenger on this bus was feeling like this.

"Come on Kaz!" Javier de la Cruz said to his friend Kaz McDonough. "You've been looking like that all trip!" He pointed at his friend's bored look on his face. Kaz turned to look at Javier, and then went back to looking out the window. Javier threw his hands up and sighed in exasperation. The young Mexican-American from Los Angeles had been bugging his friend for some time.

Kaz, of course, ignored him.

"I really don't want to be here," Kaz finally said. This prompted Javier to look at the young man.

"And yet you still are," he said in response.

"Because you kept begging me," Kaz shot back. "You said, 'come on Kaz, it'll be a great idea', 'if you don't go, you'll regret it!' 'I don't know anyone on this trip, so you should come with me,' that kind of stuff."

"And it got you to come!" Javier said in response.

"After you wouldn't stop bugging me!" Kaz said through gritted teeth.

"It was the only way for you to come!" Javier shot back. "Otherwise, you would have just laid around the house all summer before getting back to UCF."

"At least Yumi would keep me company," he said, referring to his girlfriend.

"You wouldn't have gotten any good experience lying at home," Javier replied. "Come on, look on the bright side, you're broadening your horizons, isn't that what college is all about? Besides, your family would love for you to have this kind of experience!"

"You still owe me when we get back to Orlando," Kaz said. "I should have stayed in Cardiff."

"What good would that do you?" Javier asked as he sat back in his seat. "You'd probably be bored out of your ass at the hotel watching whatever crappy show comes on for hours on end. Besides, the chaperones wouldn't let you stay, we're staying overnight in Caerleon."

"Fuck," said Kaz. He turned his head and looked back out the window. Kaz was 19 years old. He had sort of a baby face about him, framed by his brown hair which covered the top of his ears. He had brown eyes, as well. He was part Japanese and it showed, albeit subtly in his facial features; a good look would show those features. Of course, he'd probably get a little upset if you did. His face was smooth, having shaved earlier in the day. His body type was athletic, but not too muscular. His skin tone was relatively fair.
