Continued from part 1...

The disaster causes havoc inside Shinjuku Castle, as they have lost contact with the group. Spike concerned that none of them would survive, but Trent is very confident that they would subsist whatsoever. However if indeed they survived, Andy is worry that they would have another trouble to deal with- a very, very gigantic trouble that he used to face, due to his own mistake.
Trent's anticipation was right, as Marisa was the first to recover, and then followed by Edward, Cody, Hercules, and Jonathon. Marisa tries to gain contact with Shinjuku Castle, but their devices have been badly damaged by the disaster. Everyone there looks a little bit blurry due to the knock they had before, and slowly try to recover back.
However, Andy's thought becomes true, as they did not try to escape first. Instead, they had to stop Edward from his furious attitude. He runs towards Jonathon, with yells and curses out from his mouth, and pushes him down for the good measure. Then he grabs the weak lad at the collar, and screams right into his face for the costly mistake. He seems relentless, while the lad did not speak a word due to tiredness. The rest had to separates the two and calmed the fury Neutron Rangers leader. Marisa, who is well-known for her sharp-tongued attitude, criticised Edward for his needless outburst.
Unexpectedly, she becomes his next target, and Edward kicks a stone, which hits her right eyebrows. It causes a scar, and she had to listen his loud voice flying all over her ears. I am the one who decides- if you did not satisfy, you can stay at home, he warned. That was enough to make everyone silence for a while, while Marisa seems stunned with the "hairdryer" treatment- as several of her hairs wave to the back due to the scream- and slowly closed back her wide-opened mouth. Despite he still felt unease; he leaves everyone to regains back health while he figures out the best way to escape from the cave. The rest also on the other hand, waiting for his temper to cool down.
Concern about Jonathon's safety, Adrian wants to rescue the team, but it was cut short by an emergency at the centre of LA, where Speedy Creepy is currently rampaging around. Torn in two, he realise that there are times that he cannot protect his brother, and had to leave him alone. He reluctantly decided to join the other 25 Rangers to the battle, and they immediately transforms into their respective Ranger form.
As they arrived, the monster has causes a massive destruction and the Rangers cannot wait any longer. They immediately launched their assault, but none of them were a match for the rapid-spinning monster. After trying all kind of attack, none could stop Speedy Creepy from confusing them. Their ultimate finishers might be the best solutions, but with several of the team did not have enough members, they are struggling to keeping up themselves.
Within minutes, they have been heavily blistered, and the absence of several key members has make things worse. Without Edward, Neutron Rangers are in lost souls while for Samurai Shinjuku Rangers, they are toothless without Cody. Adrian was distracted by the survival of Jonathon, so does Kyle with Marisa. Omega Rangers on the other hand, are concerned about Hercules as he also acts as their mentor too.
Nevertheless, Speedy Creepy suddenly leaves the scene without any clear reason, leaving all Rangers in mess around the battle area. Moments later they automatically unmorphed, and holds their injured body parts in pain. They still cannot believe that 26 Rangers are still unable to defeat a single monster and instead, they are suffered the worst effect of all. However, they really adopt "leave no man behind" attitude. They help each other to recover, and together they returns back to Shinjuku Castle.
While inside the cave, everyone seem have regained back their health to the fullest. Then Edward indicates that they need to move the pile of rocks if they want to escape from the area. Therefore, they need to shoot the rocks together with their weapons. However, none of them shown interest in his idea, with Cody stated that his weapon did not have any firing function. Then Edward has said that if they did not want to help him, them he will do it alone. He transforms into Delta Red Neutron Rangers, combines his Plasma Gun and Neon Buster to form Plasma Rifle, and starts the breaking process.
The others meanwhile, they did not want to help simply because Edward's sky high ego, and he always want things to be done in his way. In simple words, he is too autocratic, and his walking style is also, in the easiest word, arrogant. Yeah, when he is in the team, he is the one who decides everything and never takes others' point of view.
But if he is really like that, he will force them to help him whatsoever, they think twice. His willingness to make things alone in compensation of his outbursts was not emphatic enough, but better compares to many people such as him.
It was clear that he needs help, and without wasting any time, Hercules, Jonathon, Cody, and Marisa immediately transform into their respective Ranger form, and help Edward who is working hard to breaking the barrier. After a hard 30 minutes, they finally managed to escape, and all of them look relieved afterwards. But still, they hardly speak to each other. Then they go back to their SUV, and returns back to Shinjuku Castle to rejoin their friends.
The 26 Rangers finally arrived at Shinjuku Castle, and they lay down messily around the corner due to massive exhaustion, with several of them desperately looking for water. Almost motionless, they were totally blistered by the battle- looks like drunken people outside nightclub with liquor bottle in the hand-, and unable to think properly for a while. Even they are worse than thirsty traveller at the middle of Sahara Desert, under the scorching heat of afternoon.
Later, the group of Edward, Hercules, Cody, Jonathon, and Marisa return home, and everyone looks relieve to see them again. The most relieve must be none other than Adrian, but he becomes suspicious to see his brother has some bruises around the neck, and fighting bruises are not similar to these one. He also noticed that the group was not glued together like before, as the members hardly facing each other. Jonathon reluctantly tells the truth, as he knows that Edward will be responsible for his outbursts. Adrian cannot believe what he heard, but it was confirmed by everyone else in the group, especially Marisa.
She showed the scar on her right eyebrows, which was taken a look closely by Kyle. After telling everything about Edward's ridiculous conduct, he cannot hold his anger. But thankfully he still believes in karma, and therefore did not take any action toward him.
But not with Adrian, as he instantly assault Edward with a punch to his face. Continues with a couple of strikes, the latter cannot accepts what the Neutron leader has done to his younger brother, as he is still young compares to the other Rangers and still in learning all curves. He also questioned how such people like him can be the leader of a Ranger team with fury and aggressiveness becomes his method to lead. Edward was unable to hold him back, let alone answering all those questions.
However after a while, Jonathon yells to his brother to back off from Edward, as he had enough of him responsible for his mistakes. He revealed that in their early days of Fire Storm, the rest of team members thought that he was picked nothing more because of their sibling relationship and in actual fact though, he never been so hard with his own brother. The prove is that each time he made mistakes, Adrian takes all blames to his face, and therefore everyone said that there is nepotism between them.
About the incident, Jonathon admitted he triggers the attack that almost cost their lives and therefore, he deserves all the blames and outbursts. His brother cannot protect him forever, and he needs times as well as some space to think and acts like a man. That was enough to make him retreat, but did not apologised to Edward. He only apologised to his brother, and things have returned back to normal.
The Rangers than takes a rest around the corner in, and while Jonathon is resting facing the outside scenery, Andy came and talks about the incident. The former asked him why Edward is losing his self-control so badly. Unsurprisingly, he does not mind to tell him that he used to being hit in the same way, and believe it or not it was his is often like that. He also informs him that being a hockey player, and played between the posts, Edward sometimes makes the things worse for everyone. He likes to protest referee's decision, and that was not his worst conduct ever.
For instance Andy said; would an outfield player runs 20 yards blaming his team mates for conceding a goal? No, but if goalkeeper that is eminently possible, as they thought that they are lords of all survey, entitled to scream and instructs the others how to play. Another thing, they would never being blamed for any goals conceded. That is an undeniable fact about a goalkeeper -hockey and soccer- and Edward was one of the clearest examples. Jonathon now understands that even sportsmen were not as cool as he thought. However, Andy assured that he will ask his team leader why he is still making needless outbursts, despite several times assured that he will try to control himself.
At the other part of the place, Christopher is trying to calm Adrian from the recent incident. He did not want to be at either side, but what Jonathon said is true. He really needs times and space right now, and did not want to be spoiled just in mean to protect him. About their thought about nepotism between them, it was true earlier but now they realise that Jonathon was meant for the Blue Fire Storm power, and there is no doubt about that. Adrian knows that Christopher is telling the truth, and at least he is very calm right now compared to ten minutes ago.
Then Nick approaches them, as he felt curious with something. As the duo plays football in their high school team, they are the right persons for him to get the answer for the question. He knows that American Football is played like rugby, but why it was called football while most of time the ball was being passed with hands rather than feet? It should be called "American Rugby" instead of "American Football", and soccer is the true "football" by any means.
Both of them felt that the question is a kind of funny, but at the meantime they also unable to provide suitable answers. They know that due to his British heritage, Nick mentioned soccer as "football", and his points are also very strong too. They can only said that in America, the so-called "American Rugby" is called "football" for a long time ago, and the terms real terms of "football" has been reverted to "soccer" to avoid any confusion. About the explanation behind the change, they tell him to ask people who invented the sport and make the changes. They are not brainy enough to answer all those questions.
Meanwhile, Marisa approaches Edward and apologised for her criticism towards him. She realise that she cannot make everyone acts in her way, and sometimes has to watch the thing in different way. He also apologised for the same reasons, admitted he always takes things too seriously. Both of them know that they are still friends, whatever happens. Even mission to capture Speedy Creepy was in pole position for both of them.
But she reminds him that he still need to apologised to Jonathon, as Adrian still saw him like a little child. A young Ranger like him needs careful nurturing rather than hard training, and Edward can help in the process despite for a brief time. He hears it, and thinks deeply of what he should do for the 15 year old Blue Fire Storm Ranger.

This was totally good. I can't wait to see a zord fight. Especially for my Rangers and their Shinjuku Megazord.

If I'm not mistaken Cody is a kind of Ninjor, right? If so, can he grows up anyway?

Cody's not like Ninjor, he's the sixth Ranger known as the Samurai Shogun Ranger, his zord is the Falcon Zord from KakuRanger who is the only Zord of the four from Samurai Shinjuku that can't speak to the Rangers. The Falcon does everthing with the others like in the show. Oh and Cody's suit is white and silver. And Cody rides a top the falcon called the Falcon God Zord. And in case you forgot about the others, here's what I named them compared to Season 3:
Shogun Megazord- Shinjuku Megazord
Ninja Megazord- Samurai Beast Megazord
Battle Borgs- Beast General Zords (Who don't combine)
Falcon Zord- Falcon God Zord
Just so you know!

I liked this ep a lot. I wished I'd read this earlier because when I read how you portrayed my characters (Adrian and Jonathon) it made me want to go back and reread my fan fic again. Keep up the great work and can't wait for part 3
