Twilight at the edge of Panorama City. The air is thick with tension as the Samurai Rangers gather near an abandoned carnival, its faded banners fluttering in the wind.]

Jayden: "This place... it’s pulsing with Nighlok energy. Stay sharp."

Emily: "I don’t like the way those balloons are staring at us..."

Antonio (grinning): "Maybe they’re just waiting for us to pop in."

[Suddenly, a burst of eerie laughter echoes through the fairgrounds. A shadowy figure rises from the center ring — Elastor, the Nighlok of Elasticity. His body twists like rubber tubing, and his voice squeaks with sinister glee.]

Elastor: "Welcome, Rangers! Care for a little... stretch of fate?"

[With a flick of his twisted staff, a wave of shimmering air blasts across the field. One by one, the Rangers’ suits begin to shimmer. Their bodies rubberize, limbs puffing out, torsos inflating into stylized balloon versions of themselves — glossy, flexible, and eerily silent. Each Ranger floats slightly above the ground, a thin string dangling from the base of their inflated forms, swaying in the breeze.]

Emily’s pink form bobs gently, her arms puffed and rounded.

Antonio’s gold balloon body tilts sideways, his string tangled around a popcorn cart.

Kevin, Mia, and Mike drift upward, their helmets bulging slightly, their movements slow and weightless.

[From behind a rusted carnival booth, you — the Teal Samurai Ranger — crouch low, having arrived late to the mission. You watch in stunned silence as your teammates transform one by one.] But lucky for you the teal Color Ranger came in late and watched what just happen..can you save your team mates from there fate?
