Everyone was sitting in the common room eating breakfast except for Mia. I sat on the floor in front of Jayden, Emily sat across from us, and Kevin sat adjacent to us. Kevin was carefully counting his oats as we all looked at him in confusion.

"Kevin? What're you doing? Just eat, already. Save us all the amusement of watching you measure every oat until we all die of old age." Jayden playfully slapped me while giving a stern look. You could tell he was trying not to laugh. "What? I'm just saying."

"There's a right way to do everything within the samurai code." Kevin replied.

"Wow, you're so wound up, I'm surprised you can digest your food." Once again Jayden slapped me playfully, but this time he couldn't hold back a small chuckle. Then, Mia came in with a tray of something. This couldn't be good.

"I came up with a new recipe. Everyone loves peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, right? So what could be better than a PB&J omelet?" She revealed the food which looked so gross I gagged a little. Anything could be better than this. She looked at me, hoping I'd try it.

"Damn, I'm stuffed. I just ate. Rain check?" I lied, politely. She looked at Jay, but he was eating already so she switched her attention to Kevin. He quickly scrapped his measuring and went straight to eating. Kevin was terrified of Mia's cooking. "Precision and discipline, huh?" I mocked, blowing his cover.

"Everyone, I have excellent news. Ji interrupted as he entered the room. "The missing swordfishzord has been spotted at Limintau Beach."

"A swordfish?" Mia questioned.

"A zord that went missing in action years ago. If we don't catch it now, who knows when we may get this chance again." Then with impeccable timing the gap sensor sounded. "A nighlok attack."

"Kevin." Jayden grabbed his attention.

"Yes?"

"I want you to go catch that zord." Jayden ordered. I gotta admit it was kinda hot watching him order people around. Okay, Allison. Slow it up.

"Why me? Allison has more symbol power."

"Yes, but you have greater symbol power over water than me." I assured him.

"Are you up for a solo mission?" Jayden asked.

"I've been waiting my whole life for a moment like this."

"I'm confident you'll capture the zord."

"I won't let you down." Kevin got in the van to go to Limintau Beach while we went to go battle the nighlok.

We all ran to where the map indicated, but we didn't see any nighlok. "Where's the nighlok?" I asked. I spotted a man lying in pain on the ground. He looked like he couldn't move. We all ran over to him. "Are you okay, sir? He can barely move."

"What's that smell?" Jayden asked.

"Hey, you saying a got a certain odor about me?" The nighlok asked as he approached us. The stench was so disgusting, like dirty socks with rotting eggs inside. We all morphed and began to attack.

"Let's get him."

"Once you sniff my funky smell, you'll say I'm a knockout." He kicked me down, but I stood up and charged again. "One whiff of my stench and you'll be feeling down in the dumps."

"No thanks, I'll pass." I said.

"But I insist." He then breathed in my face and I began to cough violently.

"Have you been gargling garbage?" All of a sudden I couldn't move and I could barely breathe. I clutched my chest and depmorhped as I fell to the ground.
