Chapter 1: Opening

Chapter Text

Do you like superheroes? Men in colorful underwear, and women with skimpy, tight outfits battling against villains who try to take over the world or just want to destroy it because they're mentally insane?

Too bad you're not born in this dimension. It all began in Keikei city in China, with the news that a bio-luminescent baby was born! The cause remains unclear to this day. After that, "exceptional" individuals with extraordinary powers and abilities started popping up all over the world! As time passed, these individuals were a time dozen, but it didn't matter to them. The amazing theory of superpowers became a reality. And at the present time, 80% of the world's population consists of these superhumans with special abilities.

With these powers came those who would use them for evil purposes. The world was in chaos! Crime was at an exploding rate. While the nations struggled to overhaul their new laws, a group of brave individuals took up the profession they had once only dreamed about: Superheroes!

But with a world filled with these superhuman, the Heroes became a dime dozen. But this is the story of a group of teens who would soon stand out above all others.

Chapter 2: Chapter 1: World of Heroes

Summary:

First chapter of PR:HF! Enjoy!

Chapter Text

"HIYA! HA!"

A voice grunted out as someone stood outside in a backyard, running through several martial arts motions. It was revealed to be a boy of 14 years with spiky, brown hair, bright red eyes, and a light-skinned complexion. He wore a red T-shirt, red wristbands, black jogging pants as he continued on with his training. This was Sora Ukashi.

"Rah!" Sora grunted out, doing a punch move, then a block move, then another punch move, then pulled his hands back, putting his left fist on the palms on his right hand

"Rah!" Sora grunted out, doing a punch move, then a block move, then another punch move, then pulled his hands back, putting his left fist on the palms on his right hand. He then held his left up in a block motion, before leaping backwards to peform a high spin kick into air.

Upon landing back on the ground, Sora sighed out loud as he wiped the sweat from his brow.

"Sora!" A voice belonging to a woman had called out from within the house, before sticking her head out the house door to reveal her medium length, raven hair and hazel eyes. "Sora, come on!" She called out. "You've got school today, remember?"

Sora stopped his training and looked over to the woman. "Hey, Mom..." The boy let out a groan, "Do I have to go? I'm in the middle of my training..." 

The woman, now Serena, leaned against the door with a hand on her hip. "You can train on your own time later, but today is a school day." she said, "That and I made your favorite~"

".....Pancakes and bacon?"

"Extra crispy." 

A sigh came from Sora's lips as he waved his hand, "Okay, okay. I'll get ready." 

"Make sure you take a shower too!" Serena said before heading back inside the house. 

Around the age of four, all the kids around Sora's age started to awaken to their powers, except for Sora. After a while all of his classmates had their quirks but he was the only one with no powers. So Serena explained it was because he was Quirkless. It was shocking for him to learn that he was over 20% of the population that will never have a quirk. And if being quirkless wasn't bad enough once Sora's classmates found out they started to treat him differently.

The other kids would make fun of him for being quirkless, most of them would avoid him and stop talking to him, some bullied him by playing pranks on him, and if there were group activities or field trips, they would ignore him. Things didn't get any better when he started Middle school. Just like pre and elementary school when people found out he was Quirkless, they treated him like a outcast that didn't belong there.

After retrieving his phone from the ground, he started to stretch out his hands. "Okay, time to get ready."


Several minutes later....

After showering and preparing for school, Sora now wore a black gakuran uniform with yellow buttons. His jacket uniform was open wearing a red plain shirt under his jacket, accompained by white sneakers. Now fully dressed, he grabbed his backpack and phone before making his way to the dining room for breakfast.

Entering the dining room, he saw his adoptive mother watching the morning news and eating her breakfast.

"Morning, Mom." He says getting his aunt's attention and she stops eating, turning throws her son saying good morning.

"Morning. You should eat before you breakfast get cold." She said returning to her meal.

"Right." The brunette said nodding to his aunt. Walk to the table, sitting down, putting his bag on the ground next to him, & started to eat his breakfast.

This is was Sora's adoptive mother Serena Ukashi, she was 29 years old.

It all started back when he was a baby, as his real mother had died tragic incident. So, Serena took him in and raised him as her own. 

She was a caring woman who loved Sora above all else. She is very loving towards him but knows when to be strict and firm when necessary. After graduating high school, she went on to join the Police Force and became one of the best female officers around.

"So, I'm assuming you sleep well?" Serena said well drinking her morning coffee.

"Like a king laying on a pillow of clouds." Sora joked as he ate his food.

Serena smiled at this. "I see. Considering the fact you were up early training again." She said putting her mug down.

"Well, what can I say? Martial arts is my passion." Sora said with a small grin on his face.

Growing up, Sora loved martial arts and enjoyed training every moment he had. It helped him forget about him being quirkless and because it was for self defence.

Serena just slightly laughed at her foster son, knowing his love for martial arts. Hell, he won his first black belt when he was eight and he taught classes at the Youth Center. Despite this, she couldn't blame Sora for using it to escape reality. They lived in a superhuman society where quirks are everything and people like Sora had a hard time fitting in despite not having any powers of their own. Not only that but he lost his parents at a young age, which was why she took him in and raised him. But she knew he was a strong & good kid, had good grades, and was respectful to others. So she knew he was doing fine for himself.

Soon, Sora had quickly finished up his breakfast and went to the kitchen to put his dirty dishes in the sank. He then went back to get his bag, put it on his back, and headed straight to the front door. Putting on his black and white high top sneakers reaching his right hand to the door knob. Before opening the door, Sora turned his head.

"Ok, I'm heading out! Later, Mom!" Sora called loud enough for his mom could hear him.

"Be safe, kiddo!" Serena responded back.

With that, Sora opened the front door walked outside, closed the door behind him and made his way to school.


Musutafu Streets- Morning

Sora was walking down the street with his hands in his pocket making his way to school. The sun was out, bright blue sky's, and birds are creeping...just any other day.

"Man, I'm tired." The brunette said with a yawn. "I just hope today won't be a boring one." He said to himself taking a turn around a corner.

"Guys! Guys, you guys aren't gonna believe it!" Sora blinked before looking to the side to spot a student running towards a small group.

"Whoa, what's gotten into you, dude?" Another teenager asked.

"Kamui Woods and Death Arms are fighting against a villain! It's just a block from here!"

"No way! We should go check it out! The school can wait!" A female student said excitedly. Everyone voiced their agreement before they went in the opposite direction.

Sora sighed as he shook his head as he just kept walking. This happened every day, whenever there was a hero vs villain fight going on in the streets, people would rather forget all about their jobs or duties just to be in the presence of their idols. What they never learned was that they risk themselves getting hurt if something goes south, but even if they did, they wouldn't stop meddling.

Once again, this was a reminder that nothing had ever changed even after ten years. These so-called heroes still always cared about fame and glory, and sometimes they even steal someone's spotlight just to make a name for themselves. Sure, they have the duty to protect the city and its people, but sadly that's just the second thing they care about.

Sometimes, he still wondered if he really wanted to become a hero. If he didn't, then what would be his purpose in this life?

"Sor!"

"Huh?" Before Sora could turn around, a weight slammed into his body as an arm around around his neck. he nearly stumbled forward, but managed to keep his footing. Turning his head, he gained a deadpan gaze as he saw who it was. "Oh, hey Kiba."

"That's my name!" Kiba said with a toothy grin on his face. He was a young boy with of average height with short, messy golden-colored hair and amber eyes as he too the same school uniform as Sora. "Dont wear it out!"

This was Kiba Mason, a student of Okani Academy and a best friend of Sora's

This was Kiba Mason, a student of Okani Academy and a best friend of Sora's. Not to mention...he, too was Quirkless. Though, he considered himself as the 'Comic Relief' type of guy.

Sora rolled his eyes at the remark, before blinking at something. "Let me guess, you left the others behind again, didn't you?"

Kiba snickered. "Like a hare in a race!" He replied, holding up three fingers. "But they should be approaching in three...two...one..."

"There they are!"

"Ahh, there's the sugar!" Kiba laughed as the duo turned around and saw three figures running towards them, all around their age. They too, were students of Okani Academy and Sora's other best friends.

One was a teen girl with short, green hair, tied up into low ponytails with some shorter strands hanging above her eyes. She had a toned, yet curvy athletic build, cyan-colored eyes, fair skin and was currently wearing a black, long-sleeved sailor girl uniform and skirt. This was Reina Fukuado, resident athlete of Okai and younger sister to Emi Fukukado, known professionally as the Smile Hero: Ms. Joke.

The second figure was a teen boy light blue hair sectioned in three layers, his grey eyes positioned between the three bangs closest to his face and behind a pair of round-lensed glasses

The second figure was a teen boy light blue hair sectioned in three layers, his grey eyes positioned between the three bangs closest to his face and behind a pair of round-lensed glasses. Like Sora and Kiba he also wore a plain black uniform with yellow buttons, accompanied by white sneakers. This was Cyrus Hado, a stereotypical geek of anything tech related and young brother of Nejire Hado.

The last one was a a beautiful young woman of average height and  a voluptuous figure most girls would kill for

The last one was a a beautiful young woman of average height and  a voluptuous figure most girls would kill for. She had pink-red eyes, cream skin, and long pink hair tied into twin tails using yellow ribbons. Finally, she also wore black, long-sleeved sailor girl uniform and skirt. This was Auymi Suzuni, a sweet and graceful gymnast, musician, and cheerleader.

 This was Auymi Suzuni, a sweet and graceful gymnast, musician, and cheerleader

The five of them didn't fit into any group other than themselves. In fact, most of the students at school basically ignored their prescene as if they didn't exist. 

 But none of them cared about that. Even if they were isolated from the rest of the students just because all five of them were Quirkless, didn't mean they would care about every single weird gossip or lie that was spoken behind their backs. Although, there have been times where guys would try to hit on Reina and Ayumi for being the hottest girls in school, to no success.

Yeah, you read that right. Like Sora...Kiba, Reina, Cyrus, and Ayumi were all born Quirkless. Despite all of that, they were just finally glad to get away from that hellhole since next week was gradutation day.

Once they reached the duo, Reina looked at Kiba with annoyance. "You know, I'm getting tired of you leaving us behind. We're going in the same direction!"

"That's my plan in a nutshell." Kiba shrugged teasingly. "But hey, I knew you guys would caught up and you did! Silver lining."

"Why, you...-"

Sensing conflict, Cyrus stepped in between them. "Hey, whoa! Come on, guys. We're all friends here, right?"

"Hmph! You're lucky this time." Reina scoffed.

Ayumi then looked over at Sora. "Hey, Sora!" She greeted with a warm, cute smile. "How'd you sleep?"

Sora's cheek turned slight red at this. "Y-Yeah. Hey, Ayu," He said back, rubbing his head. "I slept pretty good. Well, as good as any teenager who has school today can get."

"Yeah, preaching the choir on that..." Reina added in, folding her arms. "I even tried to faking sickness so I wouldn't have to go, but it was a total bust."

"Ahh, come on, guys..." Kiba joined, putting his arms around Sora and Reina. "Yeah, I'm sure we can all agree that our school is asinine and our classmates are a bunch of supernatural assholes. But look on the bright side, soon we won't have to worry about any of them again.

"Yeah, I guess..." Sora said, looking up at the sky. "Still, I wish something happens today. I wouldn't care what it was."

"I said, get away from me!"

The group stopped immediately when they heard a voice, coming from the alleyway not too far ahead of them. "Was was that?" Cyrus asked, looking forward.

"Sounded like a scream." Ayumi replied, tensing up.

"Well, it sure wasn't a cry for joy," Reina snorted loudly.

Kiba placed his hand on Sora's shoulder. "Looks like you got your wish bro." He added in.

"Come on!" Sora told them as he headed for the alley, the others not far behind.

As they walked forward to the alley and took a peek, he found four men cornering a woman who looked around her early 30's with auburn hair and perpetual pink blush on her cheeks. Sora noticed one of the men had her right arm and had her pinned against the wall.

"Come on, baby. We just wanna have some fun." The first man who wore some piercings on his face sneered as he leaned threateningly closer to her. The girl tried to hit him with her left hand, but he caught it and pinned it to the wall.

"Oh, so you wanna play rough?" A second thug walked up to her. "Fine. We prefer it rough." He then grabbed one of her breasts. The woman started to kick and scream, but the hooligan used his hand to cover her mouth. These guys were going to rape that girl.

"Oh, no. They're trying to molest her!" Ayumi uttered in horror to her friends.

Reina's face  twisted in disgust and anger. "Bastards....!"

"I don't get it. Why aren't there any Pros stopping this?" Kiba asked, looking around for a Pro to stop this madness.

"Probably because they don't care about saving a Quirkless person unless they're being watched by a crowd." Cyrus told him. "That, and I heard that some of the Pros are dealing with a villain attack, right now."

Sora was quiet for minute, before clenching his fist in anger. "To hell with that." He spoke up, getting his friends' attention. "I'm not going to stand by and watch this."

With that, he suddenly moved from behind the corner and ran into the alleway. "HEY!" 

The third thug who wore a beanie hat raised his eyebrow and went up to him. "Why don't you get lost, kid?" He said in a dangerous tone. "This doesn't concern you."

"I think it does..." Sora replied, glaring at the towering man. "Anyone ever tell you to treat women with respect?"

A smug grew on Thug 1's face. He looked back at his friends who were grinning in amusement, while the woman could only feel worried about the browned-haired boy. "Oh, would you look at this fellows? We got ourselves a a brave one here." 

Thug 3 hlooked back at Sora. "Look, kid, it's nice for you to play the Hero, but this is real life. He then reached for the young man's neck."But if you don't want to get hurt then-"

"Kiai!"

With his face full of anger, Sora retaliated by knocking the assailant's arm away before spinning  around and kicked Thug 3 right in the face, launching him backwards and right into a trash can, knocking him out cold. Turning back to the other hooligan, the young teen got into a fighting stance.

"Way to Sora!" Ayumi said in admiration.

"That's my pal!" Kiba grinned widely.

The other thugs were stunned by the boy's abilities, before they decided to let go of the woman and walked towards him with hostility. Thug 2 grabbed a broken piece of plank with some rusted nails, and Thug 1 grabbed a pipe and Thug 4 whipped out a pocket knife.

"Let's go." Reina said, as she and the others got up and then ran up their friend. "Don't even think about it."

"What? More kids!?" Thug 2 said in shock and annoyance. 

"Where the hell are they coming from!?" Thug 4 exclaimed.

Thug 1 snarled at them. "I could care less, you brats better leave now before this gets ugly."

"Yeah... we've never been good at that." Kiba snickered at the man. "Just not in our nature."

"We're not going to let you gang up our friend or hurt that woman!" Cyrus declared, pushing up his glasses.

"....So you really wanna play the Heroes, huh?" Thug 1 sneered and he ran towards Sora and swung the pipe "Okay, we'll be the villains!"

Sora dodged the swipe from Thug 1, and then kicked him in the leg. Sora then spun around and kicked Thug 1 in the back, before he then spun around kicked the man in the face, knocking him down while his friends ran past him to deal with the other thugs.

Reina and Ayumi both ran up Thug 4, as he swung his knife wildly at them, causing them to jump out of the way. He then thrusted his arm out to stab Reina, but the greenette quickly grabbed him by the wrist and twisted it. Thug 4 groaned in pain as Reina turned his arm some more, making him drop the knife.

Before he could recover, the girl slammed an open palm into the man's chest, causing him to double over from the pain. "Ayu!" Reina called out.

"Right!" Ayumi then ran over and then lifted her right leg up before kicking the man in the face, breaking the rapist's nose before he went limp and fell unconscious.

Thug 2 swung his plank weapon at Cyrus, who leapt out of the way as Kiba jumped and kicked him in the side, knocking him back slightly. This allowed Cyrus to run forward and kicked the plan out of the man's hand, leaving him defenseless.

Though before the man could do anything, Cyrus ran up to the man with his fist clenched. "Shoryuken!" He shouted, uppercutting Thug 2, sending him flying a few inches off the ground and knocking him out. "K.O!"

Hearing this, Thug 1 looked back and gaped in shock upon seeing his fellow thugs all sprawled out, beaten by a bunch of kids. "Wha...?"

"Consider that warning," Sora spoke up, getting the man's attention. "Either leave or this will get ugly for you." 

Thug 1 growled in anger as his words spoke back at him. "You're dead, you little punk!" He swung his fist at Sora's head, but the boy suddenly dodged by jumping over him. Backflipping in the air, Sora landed behind his opponent and quickly launched a kick at him in the back. The power caused his kick to send the thug off his feet and slam into a pile of trash nearby.

Seeing that the fighting was now over, Sora let out a sigh while his adrenaline lowered. "Thanks for the warm up, guys. Really needed that." He remarked before looking at his friends. "Everyone okay?"

"Yup, yup!" Ayumi chirped, giving him a double thumbs up.

"No sweat." Reina waved him off.

"I could go another round." Kiba said jokingly.

"All good here." Cyrus concluded as he looked down at his hands. "Those lessons really paid off."

Sora smiled at this, when a thought popped into his mind. "How's the Ms.?" 

The teens all perked up at this before looking over at the woman, who looked at them all in shock as she was seated against the wall.

Ayumi then went over to the woman, "Are you okay, ma'am?" She asked in concern, holding her hand out to her.

"Y-yes...I'm a little shaky, though, but I'm fine." Said the woman as she took Ayumi's hand and allowed the girl to pull her up.

"There you go. Nice and easy."  Ayumi said, letting the woman's hands go.

"B-But why would you all risk yourselves to save me when a Pro could've done it?" The woman asked, wondering why this these kids would do something so dangerous.

"We couldn't just sit by and let them do that to you." Sora told her. "It wouldn't been right."

 "If we see someone in need, we help them." Cyrus agreed.

"Think of it as us doing Community Service." Kiba chuckled, folding his arm.

"Plus, we can't stand scumbags like them." Reina uttered.

The woman looked at the teens with a surprised look, before a smile graced her features. "Well then, allow me to say thank you." She said, bowing her head slightly.

"You're welcome, Ma'am." Sora paused, not knowing the woman's name.

"Uraraka. Mai Uraraka." The woman introduced herself. "And your names?"

"Sora Ukashi."

"Cyrus Kuzan."

"Reina Fukukado."

"Kiba Mason."

"Ayumi Suzuni. It's a pleasure to meet you!"

"Likewise." Mai said, before realizing something. "I should probably get home now. My husband and daugther might be getting worried." 

She then ran out of the alleyway, though not before yelling another 'Thank You' to the teens.

"Well, that's that." Cyrus said after a minute.

"Yeah." Sora nodded.

Ayumi's watched then beeped as she look at it and screamed. "AGH! GUYS! WE'VE GOT FIVE MINUTES UNTIL THE FIRST BELL RINGS!"

"WHAT!?" The others exclaimed in shock as they suddenly bolted out of the alleyway, grabbed their bags that they left near the wall and ran full speed to their school.

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? TIME WENT BY THAT FAST!?" Kiba yelled loudly.

Reina shouted as she started to run ahead, "DAMNIT! I KNEW WE SHOULD HAVE GONE EARLY!"

The five of them started to run down the block minding the people that were in their way. "OH GOD WE'RE SO DEAD!" Sora yelled, "AUNT SER IS NEVER GONNA LET ME LIVE THIS DOWN!"

"LET'S HOPE WE CAN GET THERE ON TIME!" Cyrus yelled as he held onto his backpack.

Reina picked up her pace as she shouted to the skies, "MAN, IF WE DON'T MAKE IT, I'm KICKING KIBA'S ASS!"

"WHAT THE HELL DID I DO!?" Kiba cried, offended.

"PUT A SOCK IN IT AND RUN!" Sora yelled.

"WE CAN MAKE IT!" Ayumi exclaimed, "WE CAN MAKE IT!"


Okani Junior High - Morning

Needless to say they didn't make it. All five of them received a scolding from the teacher before class began. Both Ayumi and Cyrus had their heads down the most of the time in class before they picked them up eventually due to the teachers nagging at them. It was just halfway through the school day as the students listened more to the lesson; that is except for the group who were all in their own world, with Ayumi drawing in her sketchbook, Reina rolling her pencil on her desk, Kiba staring out the window, Cyrus was writing in his notebook again, and Sora, who looked bored out of his mind.

"It looks like everyone Is here, good. Now before we being homeroom there's the Evaluation Sheets." The teacher said to the class as he hold a number of papers in his hand. "School says I have to give you back those Evaluation Sheets. You were supposed to say what you want to do with your lives..." Then the teacher threw the papers in the air. "Ah, who cares about this? You're all going to apply for U.A. and be come heroes, I'm I right?" He said with a grin on his face.

With that said the classroom erupted into cheers, all the kids started using there powers like they where have time of the lives except for Sora and his friends.

"Yes, yes, yes you all amazing quirk but don't cut loose to much." The teacher calmed down the class. "Well the exam is 10 months away, So you have plenty of time to prepare. I wise you good luck. Now, let's start with a science brain teaser. What species will outlast all others on Earth?" The teacher asked and a girl sitting next to Sora quickly shot her hand up into the air. The teacher gestured to her, "Yes?"

The girl answered, "Insects. They'll survive all the bad stuff we're doing to the environment. Some of them have lots of legs. They'll be the last ones standing."

In the center, Sora noticed Cyrus hand shooting up in the air, as Kiba leaned forward in his seat. "Dude, calm down. You're going to hurt yourself." He snorted, earning a giggle from Ayumi.

"I believe that's wrong," Cyrus said, before the teacher, gestured to him with a nod.

"Yes Kuzan. You have a different answer."

"Robots. Robots powered by perpetual motion engines." Cryus answered confidence.

Reina merely rolled her eyes with a smile as she muttered. "Dork."

The teacher then zoomed on a certain brunette. "What about you, Ukashi? What do you think is the answer?"

Blinking at the teacher's question, Sora sat up in his desk, simply shrugging, "Honestly, I'd say us humans. If we work together, we can overcome anything...Quirks or not."

Now, everyone's eyes were on the boy as the whole room fell silent. "Interesting..." The teacher muttered in surprise. Sora's friends all approved the answer as they smiled at him.

Just as this was said, all of the other students started to laugh hysterically at the boy's words.

"Are you serious!? Quirks and Quirkless working together!?" A boy laughed loudly.

"No way! That's hilarious!" A girl laughed.

"What are ya, stupid!? Quirkless wouldn't last in a minute in a fight, let alone without Quirks!"

Kiba, Cyrus, Reina, and Ayumi all looked shocked at the comments about Quirkless as the class continued to laugh. That is, until the greenette of the group slammed her hands down on the desk and glared heatedly at them. "What's that supposed to mean!?" She demanded.

"She's right! Lay off of him will ya!?" Ayumi said as she tried to get them to stop laughing, "It's not funny!"

"Well, think about it. We have powers and are able to be heroes while you and the rest of the quirkless are supposed to be the Damsels in Distress!" Another boy commented.

Cyrus got up from his seat as he said, "Hold on, they got rid of that rule. You don't need a Quirk to be a hero!"

"Don't waste your time, Cy," Kiba immediately countered by saying, with a confident smile, "I mean, why would anyone be happy with having such useless Quirks!"

"WHAT WAS THAT?!"

"Alright, settle down!" The teacher ordered as the class became silent. Sora just heard all of comments his classmates were giving him and his friends, But it was nothing new to him since he was used to it. So he just ignored them, focusing on his teacher with his arm crossed.

"Now then, that's the end of homeroom, let's start first period..." And then class starts.


(Somewhere in Space...)

Meanwhile, in the endless, dark vast of space, a massive warship ominously hovered over Earth.

Inside of it, two figures was stomping through the halls before approaching a door

Inside of it, two figures was stomping through the halls before approaching a door. One was a tall, very muscular humanoid feline-like creature in resemblance to a lion. From what can be seen of his body, he is covered in white fur with a mane that reaches his shoulders with a french braid on each side of his face. His outfit consists of a black leotard with red shoulder, black arm warmers, red toeless boots, match gloves and a red and yellow belt/loincloth.

The other was a large, muscular centaur like creature with the upper body of a man and the lower body and legs of a dark blue horse. He had blue skin with dark-colored hair and a long beard. He also wore a golden chestplate and armored gauntlets.

As it slides open, they walked into a central room where a large physical facility or physically dispersed service can be monitored and controlled

As it slides open, they walked into a central room where a large physical facility or physically dispersed service can be monitored and controlled. There, they saw a figure standing in front of a large window, which a perfect view of Earth.

It was a beautiful woman of curvaceous and slender frame with long white hair, light blue skin, and purple eyes. The left side of her hair was longer than the other and hangs in front of her chest. She had a golden infinity sign shaped hair accessory that covers the back and both sides of her head. She wore shiny, golden earrings. She wore a red and black skin tight body suit that had a v shaped hole around her stomach, and had slits on the bottom half, exposing the bottom of her breasts. She wore a white open leg cape that is jagged at the bottom, and red and black high heels. Lastly, she carried a brown spear which had two sharp golden points on each end.

"Ahh, Ernesh. Igeron. I see you both have returned," The figure spoke in a smooth feminine tone of voice.

The lion creature, now known as Ernesh, then knelt down before the woman. "Yes, Lady Alsatia. And we have brought back some interesting news about this planet 'Earth'." He repsonded in a deep, masculine tone. "It would appear that most of the humans on this plant have gained an ability to develop superpowers, which they called "Quirks". The computer estimated that around 80% of the world's population has one." 

"Is that so...?" Alsatia muttered, not even turning from the window. 

"Tsk, at the end of the day, they're still weak." The centaur creature, Igeron, sneered. "Just send me down there, my Queen, and I'll make quick work of these humans!"

Before Ernesh could scold Igeron for displaying such an arrogant tone, Alsatia raised her hand in a commanding tone. "Well then, why don't we put these Quirks to the test?" she responded. "Igeron, head down with a platoon Batzler Soldiers and give these humans a demonstration."

"As you command." The centaur creature turns around to talk to one of the soldiers. "You there, activate the world warp."

The soldier let out a grunt before, pressing buttongs on the montior. "Humans can't match our strength. I'll swarm this planet and destroy them all!" Igeron said quickly and eagerly.

As her subordinates began to give out orders to the others, Alsatia continued to stare out towards Earth, tapping her spear slowly. "Fear not, little planet..." She spoke as a smile grew on her face and her purple orbs shining with malice. "For I shall save you as I did with so many others."

To Be Continued...

Chapter Text


???

Somewhere, underneath Musutafu Japan, was a dark room. All is quiet inside, until suddenly one of the consoles lights up with a yellow light, followed by green, pink, blue, and finally red.

The main room was a brightly-lit oval chamber with a large set of sliding double-doors at one end, with a small bridge that led to the center. Several computer terminals were seen spaced appropriately around the room, leaving space for colored glass columns that surrounded it.

 Several computer terminals were seen spaced appropriately around the room, leaving space for colored glass columns that surrounded it

Suddenly, digital cyan pixels emanates from thin air as they began to swirl around each other, creating a form of a figure. It appeared to be a well-endowed female human in the years of 20, with bright sliver eyes, long flowing sliver hair and a streak of red strands with it. She was also wearing a dark blue and white female dress uniform.

The 'woman' then stretched and let out a moan as if she has been awakened from her sleep

The 'woman' then stretched and let out a moan as if she has been awakened from her sleep. "Ahh! I can't remember the last time i slept that well!" She voiced in a chipper tone of voice. "How long has it been...?"

Soon an alarm went off inside the room, getting the pixled woman's attention. "Hmm? What's going on?" She asked herself, before waving her hand in front of her. A hologram screen appeared in front of her as she looked at it and saw a massive warship hovering above the planet. 

"No....it's you..." The 'woman' said as she narrowed her eyes as she gazed around the room. "The time has come. Heroes of this day and age won't be enough. It's time to assemble a new generation heroes. The most energetic and unstoppable group, that exemplifies the enduring human spirit."

"Heroes...with talent and attitude."

Okani Junior High - Afternoon

It wasn't long before the school day came to an end, and everyone started to pack up and either headed home or went to hang out with friends. Sora and his friends were now gathering their supplies and books from their lockers, preparing to go home.

"So, on a complete scale of one to hundred about how asinine today was, I think we all agree it broke the scale, right?" Reina spoke, throwing her black backpack on and facing her friends.

"Understatement of the century..." Cyrus muttered as he closed his locker, a blue bag in hand.

"I mean...could've been worse," Ayumi shrugged, slipping on her pink bag. "At least we did help that nice woman earlier. Plus, we didn't get detention for being late this time."

"Yeah, because that was the teacher's way of showing mercy on 'Quirkless'," Kiba mocked, slinging his yellow-bronze bag over his shoulder.

"Pfft, wouldn't be the first time..." Sora muttered as he slipped on his red bag, before he heard a bing on his phone. Pulling it out, he looked at the contents before showing a deadpan expression. "Seriously?"

The others looked at him and noticed his expression. "What's up, Sora?" Cyrus asked, walking over to his friend.

The brunette merely turned his phone to his friends and they all saw it was the info on a fight that happened that morning. "Everyone's going gaga over another fight today."

Reina snorted at this. "What else is new? The moment Pros throw down, people would rather forget all about their jobs or duties just to be in the presence of their 'idols', especially if it involves a woman in spandex."

"You mean Mount Lady. Well, she is easy on the eyes..." Kiba said with an impressed look, before nudging Cyrus. "Right, bud?"

"D-Don't drag me into this..." The bluenette muttered, pushing up his glasses with a small blush.

"Knock it off, perv!" Reina said as she hit him on the head.

"Ow! Hey! Can't I dream?" Kiba asked.

"Not with what you dream up, you can't!" She countered.

"Honestly, I don't see the appeal," Ayumi said, face full of disappointment. "I mean, she literally jumped in, just to get in on the spotlight. Kind of shallow, if you ask me."

Sora sighed as he put away his phone. "I know I said humans would last longer if we all worked together, but if these are the types of heroes who are supposed to protect us...then society really has gone downhill."

"Well, well, hello there, Sweet-Cheeks 1 and Sweet-Cheeks 2." A male voice said, causing the group to turn their heads to see a boy with smooth black hair walk up to them, mostly Reina and Ayumi.

"Ah, great. Another one." Cyrus uttered with a sigh,

"I guess they really can't take a hint." Sora shrugged.

"On the bright side, we get to watch how it plays out." Kiba snickered.

 The boy reached the girls and leaned against a locker. "So girls, about that date. A friend is having a house party later today and I wanted to see if you two would like to go out with me. Cause, uh, you know, I'm am a top jock of the football team ." He spoke to them in a smooth voice, looking up and down their figures.

Ayumi and Reina looked at each other, already knowing what he was planning, before looking back at him. "Yeah, and I guess being a jock does compensate for something." The former curtly replied, as the boy look like he got kicked in the face from this.

"Besides, you're not my type." The former simply told with a small smile. "Too egoistic."

"Ouch!" Cyrus flinched, "Totally shot down." Kiba stifled their laughter. Sora even snorted a bit, proud of Ayumi's answer.

"F-Fine then." The boy moaned, trying to recover from this, "I'll just find some better girls who would love to party." He then proceeded to walk off with whatever pride he had left.

The group then proceeded to make their way through the now bustling hallway, the monotone buzz of several-hundred voices hummed like an orchestra of deadbeat droids. There was that couple that was always flirting with each other on the left side of the hall, and about ten feet farther down, were the cliquey girls. Opposite of them, were the cliquey jocks, and between them, the parade of band geeks with their huge instrument cases. There was also the aerospace tech kidss who never did anything but make paper airplances and the fashion kids that wheeled mannequins and clothing racks down the halls.

As they finally exited the school, Sora let out sigh and stretched his arms. "Man, it feels good to be out of there!" He said outloud before facing his friends. "What do you guys say we hit up the Juice Bar for a while?

"Heck yeah!" Reina exclaimed happily. "I could go for some epic strawberry juices Maddie always makes."

"Oh me too!" Ayumi cheered, raising a fist.

"Same here!" Cyrus agreed as well.

"Meh, I could go for strawberry as well," Kiba grinned cheekily.

Sora grinned as well and rasied a fist. "Then, it's a done deal! Banzai on three! One... two.."

"BAN-!" The group was then cut as they all vanished into swirls of colored energy: Sora in Red, Cyrus in Blue, Reina in Black, Kiba in Yellow, and Ayumi in Pink.


??? - Unknown Location

"OOF!"

The air was knocked out of Sora as he landed on the floor of a room. Sitting up, he noticed that Reina, Cyrus, Kiba and Ayumi were all in the same room. "Everyone okay?" The brunette asked as the five slowly stood up.

They all muttered that they were alright. "Are you okay, Sora?" Cyrus asked.

"No, this is my spirit." Sora responded while they all looked around.

"What just happened?" Kiba asked, but none of them were sure.

"More importantly...where are we?" Reina questioned.

"But it is scientifically impossible... And awesome!" Cyrus said, they all look around, although it is hard to see anything in the dark.

"This isn't exactly the Juice Bar, is it?" Ayumi asked outloud.

Suddenly the sides of the walls are lit up, highlighting a few coloums, followed by the ceiling lights coming on. "Whoa!" The group said in unison as they now noticed that they stood in the center of the room.

"What...is this place?" Sora asked, taking in the sights.

"The place is amazing!" Cyrus said, his eyes sparking with awe and glee.

"I don't get it, how'd we end up here?" Kiba asked as he sat his bag down

"I just wanna know where 'here' is..." Reina scoffed. "It looks like one of those tech rooms in the movies."

Cyrus walked over to a panel "Well, maybe the answer's here in these controls." He suggested as he was about to press a button when...

"Welcome! And you there, please don't touch that." A female voice spoke up and startled the group.

"Ahh!" Kiba cried, falling backwards on his butt with wide eyes. "The hell was that!?"

Suddenly, digital cyan pixels emanates floated in front of the teens as they began to swirl around each other, creating a form of a figure. It appeared to be a well-endowed female human in the years of 20, with bright sliver eyes, long flowing sliver hair and a streak of red strands with it. She was also wearing a dark blue and white female dress uniform.

 She was also wearing a dark blue and white female dress uniform

"Okay...uh, a magic, sexy babe just appeared out of thin air...not the craziest thing I've seen." Kiba said after a few moments.

"Who...are you?" Sora asked, stepping in front of the group.

"More like, what are you?" Reina question, moving up next to him.

"My name is Katrina, and your lives are about to change forever. I'm an A.I that my mentors placed here to be the Guardian of this planet. I'm also connected to the Morphing Grid and embodied it's great and mystical powers. This a precarious time for mankind and the Earth needs you."

"Wait, wait." Reina spoke, waving her arms up. "Morphin Grid, mystical powers...what are you talking about?"

"And what exactly do you mean by Earth needs us?" Ayumi questioned.

"It's quite simple," Katrina replied as she floated in front of them. "The world is under attack and I have brought you here to my command center to help defend it."

"Wait, what?" Kiba joined, before gesturing to the whole group. "You want us to help defend Earth?"

"This can't be real." Reina replied, still not entirely sure if this all was real.

"Besides, we can we do? We're Quirkless." Cyrus pointed out.

"Your skepticism is healthy, but this is all too real." Katrina told them, she waved hand out in front of them. A hologram screen in front of the teens, taking them all back. "Observe."

The group looked up at the screen and saw a massive warship hovering above the planet. "Whoa! Is...Is that a spaceship!?" Cyrus exclaimed in shock, his glasses dropping onto his nose.

"No way..." Sora said in shock as well. The next image was shown of a beautiful woman of curvaceous and slender frame with long white hair, light blue skin, and purple eyes. The left side of her hair was longer than the other and hangs in front of her chest. She had a golden infinity sign shaped hair accessory that covers the back and both sides of her head. She wore shiny, golden earrings. She wore a red and black skin tight body suit that had a v shaped hole around her stomach, and had slits on the bottom half, exposing the bottom of her breasts. She wore a white open leg cape that is jagged at the bottom, and red and black high heels. Lastly, she carried a brown spear which had two sharp golden points on each end.

"Whoa, who's the hottie?" Kiba said with a blank expression, getting a smack on the head by Reina.

"That is none other than Alsatia," Katrina said with a hint of anger in her voice, though no one really caught it. "An intergalactic sorceress who is bent on controlling the universe. With her henchmen and enforcers, she plans to conquer Earth."

Ayumi then looked up at the pixeled woman. "So, what does all of this...have to do with us?" She asked.

"You five have been chosen to form an elite team to battle Alsatia and her forces. Defending Earth has always been in the long tradition of the Power Rangers." Katrina repsonded.

"Power Rangers?" Sora and the others thought in confusion. They never heard of Power Rangers before in their lives. "I'm sorry, but I don't follow what you're saying? What are 'Power Rangers'?" The brunette asked in confusion.

"I know it sounds strange, but just let me explain. Have any of you ever heard of the multiverse theory? The idea that multiple universes exist together? Well, it's very real. The Morphin Grid that I mentioned earlier is a multiversal energy field for all Power Rangers The main ones are from another universe, yours and so many others are connected to each other."

No one didn't know how to respond to that, they weren't even sure whether they actually believed about the theory or not. Regardless, they all decided to stay quiet and hear the message, hoping there are more answers.

 "I think it's better to show than tell," Katrina answerd, floating backwards, slightly. "I will share with you my knowledge that I've received from my mentors, the Morphin Masters. Everything I'm about to say is the truth and please hold off on any questions you may have until I'm finish."

The group all looked at each for a moment, before looking back at the A.I. "Sure." Sora agreed with a nod.

"In the year 1993, on the universe that I mentioned, five teenagers were summoned by an intergalatic wizard known as Zordon. Zordon gave them Power Coins and Morphers each to turn them into Earth's First Defenders called the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers." Katrina explained as footage of five teenagers morphing into spandex wearing superheroes for the first time was shown.

The teens couldn't help but be amazed by the transformation of the teens. "So these are the Power Rangers?" Sora thought.

'So cool!' Cyrus, Kiba and Ayumi thought in awe.

'Why are they wearing spandex?'  Reina thought with a raised eyebrow.

"Tommy Oliver, the greatest Ranger in history, became the Green Ranger when a evil sorceress named Rita Repulsa, one of the Power Rangers main villains, gave Tommy the Dragon Power Coin and brainwashed him to fight the Rangers which, of course, utterly failed. Tommy then became the sixth Ranger for the team until he temporarily left the group when his Power Coin was destroyed. Zordon later gave Tommy the Tiger Coin, allowing to become not only the White Ranger, but the new leader of the team." Katrina explained as the footage continued.

The group was stunned about what happened to Tommy. He started off evil, due to a villain brainwashing him until he managed to break free from her control and join the Rangers later on.

"When the Mighty Morphin Rangers disbanded after saving the world, new generations of Power Rangers were born such as Alien, Zeo, Turbo, In Space, Lost Galaxy, Lightspeed Rescue, Time Force, Wild Force, Ninja Storm, Dino Thunder, S.P.D., Mystic Force, Operation Overdrive, Jungle Fury, RPM, Samurai, Megaforce, Pirate Legacy, Dino Charge, Ninja Steel, Beast Morphers, Dino Fury, Cosmic Fury, and many more Rangers that have yet to shine." Katrina said with the footage showing difference Ranger teams fighting.

"So many different Power Rangers." The teens thought.

Their jaws all slightly dropped when they saw different Power Rangers incarnations in the footage. No one could believe what they were seeing. The Rangers were fighting various hideous monsters, dinosaurs, sorcerers, aliens, demons, mutants, world destroyers, and many more. Cyrus even had to remove his glasses and clean them, just to make sure he wasn't seeing things. But Katrina reassured them that everything they saw in the footage are indeed real and not fictitious.

"Now about their powers, the first Rangers received their powers when they became Power Rangers while some Rangers in new generations possess an ability or quirks in your term. When they became Rangers, they possessed enhanced strength, durability, ability, and combat prowess. Some of them possess superhuman or psychic abilities such as super-speed, element manipulation, extra-sensory perception or invisibility. In addition, each individual Ranger has a unique weapon, as well as common weaponry used for ground fighting. They are not called the Power Rangers for nothing." Katrina said.

What shocked the group even more was that some of the Rangers were actually quirkless before becoming a Power Rangers. How was it possible to have Quirks through those odd items? They listened to Katrina continued with her explanation.

"The Zords, named after Zordon, are giant mechanical vehicles that Power Rangers piloted when fighting against gigantic foes. When they are overwhelmed by the strength of their enemies, they can combine their Zords into a Megazord which increased the strength and power of the Zords as well as gain new abilities. The original Tommy has multiple Zords such as the Dragonzord which is currently at the bottom of the ocean, Tigerzord, Falconzord, Red Battlezord, and many among others. Also, when they are fighting giant monsters, they completely avoid collateral damage which surprisingly works unless they have no choice." The footage showed.

Everyone's eyes nearly bursted out of their eyes upon seeing giant mechs operated by the Power Rangers. There were different kinds of Zords like dinosaurs, vehicles, a space station, animals, shogun, the entire headquarters, mystical creatures, and many more. Sora, Cyrus, and Kiba were even more amazed when they combined together to become a more powerful giant robot. It was like something out of a video game or a TV show. They were already impressed with the Power Rangers and now after seeing their Megazord battles, they were now completely blown away. Ayumi and Reina were more amazed at how the girls of the Power Rangers fought and looked good doing it.

They all wondered how Mt. Lady would fair against these things since some of the Zords were even taller than her.

"As you can see, these are Rangers who came before you. Now you shall form a new team of Power Rangers, "Hero Force". Each of you will be given access to extraordinary powers that will help you protect the Earth. These are your Hero Morphers." Katrina continued to explain as black wrist-watch looking devices appeared out of particles, with each one having a four button layout: Red Button-Ranger Morph, Green Button-Vehicle Summon, Blue Button-Communication, and Yellow Button: Weapon Summon.

The Morphers then floated in front of the teens, who each took one. "With them, you will morph into Hero Force Rangers, the next generation of Power Rangers. You will have access to special weapons, abilities, and you shall command mighty machines called Megazords."

Sora's eyes widened from shock from hearing this from the A

Sora's eyes widened from shock from hearing this from the A.I. hologram. She wanted them to become a Power Rangers!

"You want us to be Power Rangers?" He said in disbelief, processing everything that was happening. Everyone else looked at each other in shock.

"No way..." Cyrus uttered out in shock.

"This...this a lot to take in," Ayumi said, twirling a strang of her hair.

Reina nodded in agreement. "Yeah, I'm still trying to wrap my head around all of this."

"This is crazy," Kiba added in, turning his gaze back to the A.I. "I mean don't get me wrong, this is probably the most shocking and awesome thing that's ever happened to me. But if the world really is in danger...How come you didn't gather the Pro Heroes? There are many different around that could be better candidates than us, right?"

The group all perked up at this question with realization, turning towards Katrina with the same question in mind...only to be taken back by the angered expression on her face.

"Pro Heroes?" She scoffed. "You mean those idiots who were rather bath in glory and fame instead fighting for what's right and helping others for the sake of it? Not even if they were the last line of defense. Most of them aren't worthy of the cape and feel more like zeros than heroes, who don't even come CLOSE to the heroes that the Power Rangers were." Katrina told them before calming down. "Besides, there is more to being a Ranger than just having an ability or a name. It is to have a heart full of compassion and drive to save others. That's why I was tasked by the Morphin Masters to search out those who meet these current qualities and give them the ability to do so in this world." The A.I. said to him before looking at Ayumi.

"Ayumi, you are not only pure of heart and cherish your loved ones, but you go to great lengths for them. You shall soar high with the power of Wind and be the Pink Ranger." Katrina tells her, as her body glowed pink for a few seconds.

A yellow color engulfed around Kiba. "There is nobody with the boundless enthusiasm to match you, Kiba. You're able to brighten up any room you walk into I'm making you the Yellow Ranger. You will fight with the brightness of Lighnting." Katrina told the blonde, who seemed pleased and rubbed his nose.

Reina's body took a black color, "Reina, you're courageous and sturdy as ground. You will be the Black Ranger and stand firm with your teammates and those in need with the power of Earth." Katrina explained.

"Cyrus, your thirst for knowledge is unequaled." Katrina continues as Cyurs's body glowed blue a few seconds too, "Our future depends on the works of great scientific minds likes yours. As the Blue Ranger, your attacks will be swift and destructive like waves of Water."

Finally, a red glow overtook Sora's body, though Katrina was taken back as she noticed something very shocking about the brunette.

'How interesting...' She thought to herself, before speaking. "Finally, Sora. Your purity of spirit and strength are the result of incredible discipline. You value the bonds of friendship, and are highly concerned about those you call friends, you go to great lengths in order to help others with the fercoity of Fire. You shall be the Red Ranger and serve as the team's leader." Katrina said.

Cyrus was overwhelmed with the info. "Morphers, Weapons, Megazords? All this tech, how do we use it?"

"All will be revealed in time," Katrina answered, before looking at the group as a whole. "So, what will do you, Rangers? I know that this is a lot to take in and I won't force you. Whatever you decide is your choice."

The gang all looked down at their new Morphers with various thoughts going through their heads as they thought about what Katrina said for a moment. Being a Power Ranger sounds like a dream come true especially for Quirkless people like them. It's not that they don't want the power, it's just that they too, had no respect for today's modern heroes.

Unlike all the kids their age who wanted to be heroes, None of them ever saw themselves as the heroic type, even if they did have Quirks. What Katrina said did hit home. Mostly what all of the Pros cared about was fame & money. They were nothing like the heroes from the video games and movies. Those heroes were willing to save others and not ask for anything in return, fighting for what they believe was right, and never giving up even if the odds were staked against them. Those were the type of heroes society was missing.

Now learning about the Power Rangers and everything they've done, they earned the group's respect and thought of them as true heroes.

Sora clenched his Morpher in his hand as he looked down at it. "This is all still new to me." He finally spoke up, getting everyone's attention. "When I said I hoped something would happen today, I honestly wasn't expecting this. But, knowing that I can now make a difference in the world is just...overwhelming." He then looked up with a determined gaze at Katrina and took a step forward. "If the world is under attack, and you think that we are the ones who can help defend it...count me in."

The others all looked at Sora in surprise at his choice before looking at each other. As if coming to an agreement to together, they all stepped forward beside the brunette. "Sora's right, if the world is really in danger and we're the only ones who who can be its protectors, then sign me up!" Kiba declared with a grin.

"Exactly, this world is our home and we're prepared to fight for it." Cyrus nodded, holding up his Morpher.

"We're in this together." Ayumi smiled with conviction.

Reina smirked with a hand on her hip. "Hell yeah, let's make these aliens and bad guys pay for coming to our truf!"

The A.I. just gave the teens a smile. "If that's the case, then place the Morphers on your left wrist." She instructed them.

The group then put the Morphers on their left arms just as Katrina asked and then strap bands wrapped around their wrists, holding the Morphers in place. The Morpher glowed red, black, blue, yellow, and pink to register Sora, Reina Cyrus, Kiba, and Ayumi respectively as the new Hero Force Power Rangers.

"Huh, interesting." Cyrus said looking at his Morpher.

"Yeah," Sora breathed out. Then, the minds of the 5 teenagers was filled with all the previous Rangers (of their respective color) fights across 24 generations. All of their combat experiences and the knowledge of all the villains they faced were now second nature to them.


In the City - Afternoon

All throughout the city, people were either driving cars around, walking along near or a building, or sorting out some crates when suddenly...in flashes of purple light shining from the sky, a large platoon of black-skinned grunts with orange heads, armed with claw-like weapons, bearing an odd crest on their chests showed up in the center of town.

in flashes of purple light shining from the sky, a large platoon of black-skinned grunts with orange heads, armed with claw-like weapons, bearing an odd crest on their chests showed up in the center of town

Everyone looked purely shocked at this. "W-What are those?" One bystander stuttered in slight fear.

"T-They came out that light in the sky...!" Another said, pointing up the clouds.

"Are those...A-Aliens!?" A third said with wide eyes.

As if that wasn't enough to shock them, a large blue centuar creature wearing golden pieces of armor, trotted in front of the grunts. "Attention people of planet Earth, hear me and rejoice. I am the great Igeron and you have had the privilege of being saved by the Great Goddess. You may think this is suffering. No... It is salvation brought by her eternal benevolence! Batzlers!"

Suddenly, a grunt, now known as a Batlzer Soldier, lifted it's claw as it began to glow with orange power...before thrusting its claw forward, sending out a orange arc of energy and blasted a car into pieces. Seeing this, people began to panic and run off in different directions, one tripping over each other, causing another to fall over.

"Yes, cower! For, you are welcomed into the loving arms of Alsatia, Queen of the Imperial Army!" Igeron cackled loudly, before the entire platoon of Batlzer Soldiers began to attack.

At that moment, civilians began running away in fear as they were trying to get away from the sudden attackers.

"Run away!"

"What are those things!"

"I don't know, but we have to get out of here!"

"They're monsters!"

"SOMEONE, CALL THE HEROES!" A woman screamed in utter fear.


Command Chamber

Just then the alarms went off, getting everyone's attention. "What's going on!?" Ayumi questioned.

"What's that sound?" Reina wondered, looking around.

"It's the Intergalactic Alarm System. It let's us know when there is an attack on Earth!" Katrina explained, pulling up her hologram screen. "Take a look!"

The new Rangers all gathered around look up at the screen to see to the city being attacked by  Igeron and his army of Batlzer Soldiers.

"They're attacking the city!" Ayumi covered her mouth in horror.

"What the heck are those things?" Kiba questioned with a freaked-out expression

"And is that...a Centaur?" Cyrus uttered out, not beliveing what he was seeing. 

"Igeron and the Batlzer Soldiers. One of Alsatia's generals and foot soldiers," Katrina replied, looking at the team. "Rangers, you must go and stop them from destroying the city." She instructed. "Call upon your power by saying: 'Call of of the Hero!' and press the Morph red button."

"Right. Thanks, Katrina," Sora agreed, before looking at his team. "You guys ready for this?"

"You know it bro." Kiba confirmed, punching his palm.

"Let's go kick some ass!" Reina exclaimed, throwing a fist into the air.

"And protect people!" Cyrus added in.

"Yeah, let's do this!" Ayumi cried in agreement.

"Alright!" Sora said while raising his left wrist by his head, and his Hero Morpher began to change to glow red. "IT'S MORPHIN TIME!" He shouted at the top of his lungs, the others all raising their wrists by their heads.

The team then pressed the red Morph button on their morphers, causing them to start glowing red, black, blue, yellow, and pink. They then thrusted their left arms out together. "Call of the Hero!" The team shouted in unison as they pulled their left arms back and used their right hands to spin the Morphers' top half at the same time.

~Morphing Sequnce End~ (Song ends)


All five teens stood in their suits, then looked over themselves in awe. 

"Wow!" Ayumi said, twirling around and giving herself a look over. "This so cool!"

"This is so awesome!" Kiba remarked touching all over his helmet. "I look good!"

"I've never felt such power!" Sora said, as he clutched his fist.

"Amazing...!" Cyrus muttered, looking at his Morpher in awe.

"I could get used to this!" Reina commented, looking at her gloves.

"Now, it's time." Katrina said, getting the new team's attention. "Hero Force, your mission starts now." Katrina said just before the teens were teleported out of the Command Center. "May the Power protect you."


Musutafu, Japan  - City: Afternoon

In one of the downtown streets of Musutafu, people were panicking and running in fear as an the platoon of Batzlers were tearing the city apart, attacking and destroying everything in their path.

"Run as fast as you can humans! Because no one will save you!" Igeron said maniacally, watching as more explosions that cause more damage to the city with people running for their lives.

The police arrived on the scene not too long after to deal with the situation. Serena, Sora mom, now in a police unifrom, took charge and turned to the others.

"Alright, people! Defensive position 1, let's go!" Serena ordered.

Batlzer Soldiers kept firing blasts all over the city, destroying more buildings, just as the Police Force soldiers made it postion.

"What the heck are those things?" One officer asked in shock. "They don't look human at all!"

"We can worry about that later! Let's go, people!" Serena bellowed. "Move! Move! Move!"

The Police troopers all aimed their guns at the soldiers, who fired another blast at a building, destroying part of it. "Fire!" Serena ordered.

The men all fired their guns at the grunts, hitting a few, but didn't do anything else.

The citizens kept running away, as more police officers showed up. Another grunt fired a blast at another building, destroying part of it.

"Hmph, my turn." Igeron snorted, before suddenly raising his front hooves high into the air and slamming them on the ground. There was a flash and it exploded outward and the screaming reached an almost deafening pitch.

"Look out!" Serena shouted, jumping out of the way, right as the shockwave from the explosion reached them, passing over and slamming into the police officers with enough force to knock everyone off their feet and send most of their vehicles soaring into the air...before crashing into the ground, erupting into massive explosion.

 "AHH!" An officer screamed, lying on the ground and clutching at his arm, mostly broken from being hit by the explosion.

"Man down!" Another officer bellowed, running over to check on his fellow policeman.

"Damn it!" The Lt. swore loudly.  His Police vest was also shredded, the back ripped open as if by some unseen force. "Where are the heroes!?"

"On their way, sir!" An officer shouted, as the troopers retreated. "They should be here in a few minutes!"

The Lt. growled at this. "Go hard, people!" He ordered. "We have to hold it down until reinforcements arrive!"

At the moment, several Batzlers spotted a woman and little boy trying to escape, then began chasing them down, as they were running away from the group of monsters until the little boy tripped on the ground from some broken debris.

"Ow!" The little boy cried out in pain, as he scraped his left knee.

"Kale!" The mother cried out as she immediately ran back to her fallen son and kneel down towards him. "Everything's okay! Mommy's here!" She said picking her little boy up in her arms.

They were soon approached by Batzler, which freaked the family of two out. "Please just let us go!" The mother pleaded for their lives, as she embraced her son tightly with the little boy scared out of his mind from being this close to the alien intruders.

Hearing the mother's pleas, Serena looked over at them in horror. "No!" She called out making a beeline for them. But before she could reach the family, a Batlzer Soldier blasted the ground in front of her, knocking her over on her side.

"SERENA!" The Lt. exclaimed in fright, holding out his hand to her.

The mother and son both cried out in fear while looking away from the incoming creatures appearing them. Then out of nowhere, a sudden yell got everyone's attention.

"HIYA!"

Out of nowhere, a red blur launched across a police car and drop kicked the Batlzer Soldier away from the family of two, sending it flying across the ground. "Why don't you pick on someone who can actually fight back!" The figure declared, revealing to be the Red Hero Force Ranger.

At that moment, four more figures jumped out of nowhere and landed on each side of Sora. (Reina and Cyrus on his left, with Kiba and Ayumi on his right. Sora stood in the middle.)

"What!?" Igeron demanded in a angry, yet confused tone.

The crowd were taken back as the cameras focused on the unknown group who intervened at a time where the heroes couldn't. They just came out of nowhere, which was something that even baffled the crowd and the police.

"Is everyone okay?" Ayumi asked as she looked back at the police.

The officers just blinked multiple times as they got over there shock.

"Y-Yes, we're fine but who are you?" Serena asked the Rangers.

"We're the Power Rangers: Hero Force." Reina answered as he kept his eyes on the villain.

"Power Rangers? Hero Force?" The Police Force thought in confusion as they never heard those terms before.

"Power Rangers? I never heard of a pro heroes with that name." The Sgt. said.

"Well, that's because I'm not a pro."  Cyrus sheepishly said, surprising the police.

"T-Then your a vigilante?! What your doing is completely against the law? You n-need to leave..." The Lt. tried to say but the Batzler soldiers then made several of noise, getting the group's attention again.

"I still can't believe it...actual aliens!" Cyrus muttered in awe. "If they weren't evil, I would ask them so many questions!"

Ayumi shivered in disgust. "Ugh, they're even creepy up close! Especially the horseman."

"You got freaks picked the wrong planet to mess with!" Reina said, pointing at the grunts. "Leave now or we'll force you!"

"Stop! It's dangerous to approach those things!" The Sgt. said, but was ignored.

Igeron snorted at this. "And who's going to make me? A bunch of measly insects playing hero? I think I'll let my Batzlers deal with you."

The Batlzer Soldiers all turned their attention the teens before pointing their claws at them with pure malice. "Well, I guess that's their answer," Kiba joked.

"Challenge accepted." Sora simply said, dropping into a fight stance. "Ready, guys?"

"Ready!" The others quickly followed his actions.

The crowd gasped, and the police were shocked.

"S-Stop! Don't do this!" Serena tried to protest but was ignored.

"Please don't!" The Lt. said as well.

But it was in vein as their voice fell to death eyes with the new Rangers turning his attention back at Igeron

"Just who in the hell are you suppose to be?!" Igeron yelled at the Power Rangers.

Sora clenched his fist and spun around before stopping, "Champion of the Skies! Hero Force Red!" He shouted while doing a pose, surrounded by red hot blaze of fire. He now wore a red Ranger suit with white gloves and boots, with golden accents on it, with a white/yellow 'V' on the chest, while her helmet belt buckle had the 'Hero Force' logo on it. A blaster was attached on the right side of the belt. his visor was an upside down arrow and resembled a Condor.

Reina clenched her fist and spun around before stopping, "Champion of the Earth! Hero Force Black!" She shouted while doing a pose, surrounded by several rock formations. She now wore a blak suit similar to Sora's, only the helmet  had a narrow, black visor with a silver mouthpiece and had a design that resembled a Bull.

Cyrus clenched his fist and spun around before stopping, "Champion the Seas, Blue Hero Ranger!" He shouted while doing a pose, surrounded by waves of water. His suit matched the others, only it was blue and his visor was an oval with points at the end, as his helmet had the design of a Stallion.

Kiba clenched his fist and spun around before stopping, "Champion of the Savanna, Yellow Hero Ranger!" He shouted while doing a pose, surrounded by golden thunder. He now wore a yellow which was the same as the boys, only the helmet had a rectangle black visor with a grey mouth piece and resembled a Lion.

Ayumi clenched her fist and spun around before stopping, "Champion of the Forests, Pink Hero Ranger!" She shouted while doing a pose, surrounded by currents of air. Her suit matched Reina's, only it was pink with a skirt, her visor being a heart shape, and her helmet was designed with the resemblance of a Swan.

"Til the Age of Heroes end, Rangers Defend!" The five of them shouted together in sync for everyone to hear while getting into new poses with their team symbol shining above them. "Power Rangers Hero Force!" The Hero Force Rangers shouted before a giant explosion occurs behind them, further increasing their awesomeness.

Musutafu, Japan - City Square

"Rangers Together, Heroes Forever!" The five of them shouted together in sync for everyone to hear while getting into new poses with their team symbol shining above them. "Power Rangers Hero Force!" The Hero Force Rangers shouted before a giant explosion occurs behind them, further increasing their awesomeness.

Serena, the police, and the citizens just stared at the team with their jaws dropped and a look of disbelief on their faces. They were unable to process what the teens just did and had their own reaction to this.

"What in the name of the cosmos in this!?" Igeron demanded upon seeing the newly morphed Rangers.


In Space -  Alsatia's Ship

"My, my. What do we have here?" Alsatia asked, watching in interest as the new Rangers battle her soldiers on her globe. "Power Rangers...Hero Force?"

"Pesky humans!" Ernesh growled, watching the fight as well. "They dare to fight back!" He then turned and walked towards the door. "I'm going down there to put them in there-"

"No." The alien monster was cut off by Alsatia's voice. "Not yet. I'm curious about these five and wish to see how this plays out."


Ayumi slightly looked back at the family. "Are you alright?" She asked while slightly looking back at the family, with the mother nodding slowly in response and the little boy silently sharing at the Rangers in awe. "That's good to hear. Get yourself and your son out of here to safely. we'll take care of this." The Pink Ranger said making the woman frantically nodding back before she and her son quickly left the scene, as Ayumi turned back to stand with her friends.

 "Alright, guys, let's show these freaks why they should've come in peace!" Sora declared.

"Yeah!" the Rangers shouted, dropping into fighting poses. 

"If you think those ridiculous costumes is going to frighten me, think again!" Igeron snarled in anger. "Batzlers, destroy them!"

"Hiyah!" The Rangers shouted, then charged at the Batzler Soldiers and began to battle them.


With Ayumi

Ayumi did a forward handspring past two Batzlers, then hit a third's arm with her hands, then spun around and blocking a fourth's punch with her hands.

She elbowed them both in the face, then dodged and grabbed a third's arm as it came at her, making it bend down. She then kicked a fourth's chest as it came at her, then moved her leg to kick a fifth's leg, then pulled it back to kick the fourth, then moved it to kick the side of the fifth's head.

Seeing another approaching from behind, she quickly turned punched the Batzler in the chest, sending it to the ground. She then saw three more coming towards her from the left as she quickly send a powerful kick in the chest of another soldier in front of her, causing it to crash into the two Batzlers behind, it sending them all to the ground. She then dropped to the ground and twirled around and grab the arm of another trying to attack her from behind, punching it in the chest before standing up and flipping it over her shoulder sending it flying into the nearby wall.

"Wow, what a rush. Being a Ranger sure does feel good!" She mentioned happily.


With Kiba

Kiba quickly shoved a Batzler aside as he then elbows another in the chest, sending it flying into another Batzler, sending both of them to the ground.  

He then ducked as one tried to punch him, then he blocked another's punch with his left arm, before lifting its arm up, then punched it down to block a punch from the first, then he punched the first's face, before whacking the second's chest with his forearm.

"Oh yeah, the Kibster is feeling alive!" The blond stated before spinning around and sending a side punch into another Batzler's chest, sending it crashing to the ground.


With Reina

Reina tackled a Batzler to the ground as she then spun around with her left leg stretch out to take one of the other grunts's legs out from under it.  

She ducked and spun around, tackling one as another tried to punch her before she got up and kicked its chest, then she rolled past a third as it tried to punch her. She then got up and kicked the back of its leg, then chopped its back, knocking it down, before she turned around.

She jumped and split kicked two in front of her, before she back flipped onto her feet, then she elbowed ones chest as it came up behind her.

"You freaks annoy me." The greenette mentioned and kicked another in the back, knocking it against a lamp post.


With Cyrus

The blunette grabbed a Batzler's arm as he twisted it to the side, before tossing it to the ground over his shoulder as he then dropped to the ground and spun around with his right leg straight out sending a couple more to the ground.

He punched a second's chest, then blocked a fourth's punch with his right elbow, before punching its chest. A fifth then grabbed his shoulder, but he grabbed his hand with his left, putting his right on its inner elbow, then he kicked its leg and knocked it to its knees

"Wow, this is totally prodigious!" the blue-clad teen stated, trying hard not to geek out.


With Sora

Sora was seen launching across the area, performing several spinning kicks to take several soldiers down before facing another one in front of him as he turned it around and bashed it in the back sending it crashing to the ground.

He ducked as one tried to kick him while backing away, then blocked a kick from another with his forearm, followed by a kick from the first. He then blocked a punch from the first and a kick from the second with both forearms, before he punched the first's chest.

"Man, I can't believe the power I'm feeling." Sora said, looking down at his hands.


Serena and the rest of the officers could only look in pure shock at the scene. Never in their lives have they ever seen five teenagers appear during an attack, suit up in color-coded suits and proceed to kick ass while doing so. Such a thing was unheard of!

"They... they're actually winning this." The Sgt. muttered in awe.

The Lt. cleared his throat and looked at the officers. "I don't have the words, but let's get these people to safety."

"Wait, what about them?" Serena asked, looking back and forth at the fight.

"We're going to have them explain this, but what from what I'm seeing...they've got this."

With that, the officers got to work on moving people from the line of fire.


Soon, the group regrouped and noticed they had taken down a bunch of them. "Looks like we go em on the ropes!" Kiba smiled.

"Hell, yeah!" Reina smirked, fist pumping with pride.

Sora took a step forward. "Then let's finish off. Time to use our Hero weapons!" He stated, reacher for the holster on his belt. The others nodded and followed his lead.

"Brave Blasters!" They shouted in unison, whipping out five color-coded sidearms. "Lets's go!"

The group then charged back in to engage the soldiers

The group then charged back in to engage the soldiers.


With Cyrus

Cyrus then blocked two Batzler claws with his Brave Blaster as they tried to hit him. He then raised his blaster up, knocking their claws back, then he grabbed one's arm, while spinning around to kick the other, but missed as it ducked. He let go of the first, then aimed at an and fired his blaster, hitting the other in the chest with blue beams, knocking it onto some rubble. He then ducked and spun around as the first tried to slash him with its blade, then he grabbed its arm as it tried again, and then he ducked down and fired his blaster, hitting a third in the chest. He then let go of the first, then spun around and whacked it in the leg with its blaster, tripping it up.

"Huh?" he gasped, looking up.

A fourth dived down towards him, but then he rolled away as it tried to slash him. He then jumped up and fired his blaster, hitting a fifth in the chest.


With Reina

Reina ducked as one Batzler tried to whack her, then she knocked its blade up and kicked it in the back. Another then grabbed her from behind, but she wasn't having it. 

"Hands off, ass-wipe!" She shouted, before hitting it with her elbow twice, knocking it down onto its chest. She then back flipped as it tried to whack her in the legs, then she landed on its back, knocking it out, and then she flipped forward and wrapped her legs around a third's neck.

"Yeah!" she yelled, twisting her legs, flipping it onto its back.

Shen then jumped up as a third tried to whack her in the leg with its blade, then she wtihdrew her blaster, twirled around in the air, and then fired it, hitting one in the chest.


With Ayumi

"Let's see how you like this, Brave Blaster: Sword Mode!" Ayumi commanded as she switched the Hero Blaster to Saber Mode, before charging at the soldier.

"Did her gun turn into a sword?!" A police officer asked.

"Her weapon just changed!" Another thought watching the fight.

Ayumi dived down towards some Batzlers, then blocked one's claw with her saber, and then pulled it back and blocked another's claw behind her, before kicking the first away. She then spun around and knocked the second's and a third's claws down with it, then blocked a fourth's claw with it from behind, before waving it, knocking the third back slightly. She blocked the fourth's claw again from behind, then backwards handspringed as a fifth tried to stab her in the leg, and then stabbed the third in the chest as it came at her.

 "This is totally awesome!" Ayumi cheered, jumping like a schoolgirl.


With Kiba

Kiba jumped over one Batzler as it tried to tackle him, then he flipped sideways to his left past another two, and then he blocked their claws with his saber, then sent a slash at them, making them back away. He then turned to another two behind her and blocked their claws with her saber, and then sent a number of slashes at them, making them back away. He then turned and slashed the third across the chest, knocking it down, then he kicked the fifth's claw away, before he slashed it across the chest and then did somersaulted sideways, before landing on one knee.

"Man, I am loving this!" he remarked, getting up and looking at his blade.


With Sora

Sora punched a Batzler in the chest as it jumped over him, making it hit the ground, then he turned around and slashed another with his saber. He then blocked a third's stinger with it, then turned and blocked a fourth's kick with it, then blocked it's and a fifth's stinger with it. He then wrapped his arm under the third's arm, then spun around as a sixth tried to hit him, before elbowing the third in the chest. He then punched the fourth in the chest as it came at him, sending it flying away, making a seventh duck as it landed near some more, and then he elbowed the third in the chest again, sending it away.

He then noticed several of the remaining Batzlers charging his way, claws raised to strike. "Come get some!" He yelled as he fired his blaster, hitting them all in the chesst and knocking them down.

Ayumi and Cyrus all jumped over Sora and then landed in front of him - Cyrus standing, Ayumi crouching - and then they both fired their blasters, hitting and knocking down more Batzlers.

Kiba and Reina joined the others as Ayumi got up, and then they all formed a line - in the same formation as earlier before the battle.

"Alright, guys!" Sora said, as they held up their blasters. "Let's finish this!"

The Rangers then pointed their blasters at the remaining Batzlers. "Brave Blaster!" They called in unison as the blasters glowed with their respective color. "FINAL SHOT!"

They all fired together, sending multiple colored lasers at the platoon, dealing critical damage to all of them. The Rangers turned around with their backs facing the Batzlers, then skillful twirled their Brave Blasters in their right hand before putting them back in their holsters.

The remaining Batzler could only grunt in pain as electricity flow through their bodies and then exploded behind the rangers as they stood at ease.

Cause badasses don't need to look at explosions.


Unknown to them, a news crew and a few civilians were secretly recording the entire battle on their phones and cameras at a safe distance, as they watched this in awe and amazement.

"We are at downtown Musutafu where various citizens are being attacked by a group of monsters who were claimed to appear out a bright light in the sky." The newsman said as the footage of the so-called monsters attacking the city was shown all across Japan. "Police have been escorting those that were downtown away from the area as they tried to contain the situation as best they could."  Footage of Serena and other officers was shown helping escort people away from the fight.

"However, the situation is being dealt with by apparenlty, five mysterious figures in colored costumes have arrived on the scene and are now battling with these creatures." The newsman said continuing his report, while captured footage was shown of the Rangers dressed in colorful outfits fighting the creatures and destroying them with ease. "As we can see these five figures are fighting back against these monsters and saved the lives of people downtown during the attack.  We have received word from one of our crewmen that the battle is still going on and will switch to live footage, and we'll be praying for these heroic figures to stop the monster's rampage." The news then switches to the live ongoing battle from a helicopter up above.


Back to the fight

After dealing with the Batlzers, the Rangers all regrouped and stood in front of Igeron. "You're next, Horse-man." Sora told him as he pointed his blaster at the creature.

"You first!" Igeron snarled, as he fired a beam from his hand.

"Everybody, hit the deck!" Reina exclaimed, ducking to the left with Kiba and Ayumi as Sora and Cyrus ducked to the right, making the blast hit the ground behind them.

Rolling back up right, Sora knelt down and pointed his blaster at the centuar alien. "Fire!" He shouted.

Lasers came out of all the Rangers blasters which hit Igeron, but they didn't even scratch him as they bounced off his armor harmlessly.

"It's not working!" Ayumi cried.

They then all stopped firing as Igeron growled at them.

"Neat trick. Here's mine." He then reared back on his back hooves again, slammed his front hooves into the ground, creating a burst of power to race out, knocking the Rangers all down and away.

"AHH!" they moaned, as sparks came out of them. They all hit the ground as steam rose off their uniforms.

"Ah!" Sora grunted, clutching his chest.

"Hot damn!" Kiba groaned out and he climbed to his knees. "Anyone else feel that?"

"No shit!" Reina snapped at him, doing the same.

"Our blasters have no affect on him." Cyrus spoke up, looking over at the centuar.

"What do should we do then...?" Ayumi questioned.

"Rangers!" Katrina's voice spoke from their Morphers, surprising the team.

"Katrina?" Sora uttered out.

"Call your Hero weapons!" Katrina instructed. "Press the yellow button to summon them."

"You got it, Katrina." Sora said, before they all pulled themselves up and pressed the said button simultaneously.

Soon their morphers began to glow brightly as their weapons materilized in front of them through particles.

"Whoa!"  Sora gaped.

"Check it out!" Kiba yelped in awe.

"Amazing." Ayumi said.

"Wow!" Reina said.

"Awesome!" Cyrus said.

Their weapons all then hovered in front of them: A vibrant, red sword with a condor-shaped guard, a black war axe thata blue battle axe with horn-like blades, a bright blue lance, a pair of yellow gauntles with claw, a and a pink/white crossbow that resembled swan feathers.

"Nice, I got a Pyro Saber!" Sora said, taking it, looking down at it.

"Nice, I got a Pyro Saber!" Sora said, taking it, looking down at it

"A Terra Axe

"A Terra Axe...." Reina said, grabbing it, as she spun it in her hands. "Mama likes!"

"Sweet, Savanna Claws!" Kiba said, placing both on his forearms

"Sweet, Savanna Claws!" Kiba said, placing both on his forearms.

"Sweet, Savanna Claws!" Kiba said, placing both on his forearms

 

"Cool, a Sea Lance

"Cool, a Sea Lance." Cyrus said, taking it and testing the weight.

"Check it, I got Sky Bowgun!"  Ayumi chirped, holding it and looked it over

"Check it, I got Sky Bowgun!"  Ayumi chirped, holding it and looked it over.

"Check it, I got Sky Bowgun!"  Ayumi chirped, holding it and looked it over

"Hyah!" they shouted, getting ready to fight.

"Enough!" Igeron snarled, raising both his arms up. "It doesn't what you do, it won't be enough to be me!" He slammed his hooves down to create a even more powerful shockwave attack that traveling towards the Rangers.

The shockwave hits it mark as the Hero Force Rangers were caught in the explosion, leaving a nothing but smoke and flames. Everyone thought the Rangers were died, until they jumped through the fire without some much as a scratch on them and runs towards Igeron, with their Hero weapons in hand.

(Cue Hero Force Theme)

"What!?" Igeron shouted in disbelief .

"Sea Lance !" Cyrus shouted, swinging his weapon around, rushing at Igeron in a burst of water to jab the centaur alien across the side in an instant.

"ARGHHH!" Igeron screamed out in absolute pain from the attack, leaving enough time for the Rangers to exploit onto.

"Sky Bowgun!" Ayumi called out before jumping into the air and fired several pink laser arrows hit the ground around Igeron, and created explosions that knocked him off his feet.

Then, out of nowhere, Reinaappeared in front of the monster. "Terra Axe!" She yelled and spun her body around along with spinning her axe, slashing Igeron across the body several times.

"Savanna Claws!" Cyrus shouted, slashing into Igeron's stomach twice with eletrice power and making him skid backward before coming to a stop.

"It's time to turn up the heat! Pyro Sword!" Sora called out as he lowered his arms as hot flames came up behind him, then he put both hands on the sword while holding it near his head, as fire engulfed around the blade. "Soaring Condor Slash!" He exclaimed loudly, twisting the sword slightly. He then slashed it downwards, sending the head of a condor, composed of flames, roaring at him. 

Igeron crossed arms together to stop the in coming attack, but unfortunately it doesn't work as the blast immediately broke through the alien's defenses and slammed into his body to do even damage, with Igeron alling straight back again into a wall while screaming in agony over the pain.

"Alright you guys, it's time to end this!" Sora declared out loud to his teammates.

"Right!" The other Rangers nodded in unison. 

"WEAPONS COMBINE!"

The five weapons flew into the air and as they began to combine together into one super weapon. The Sky Bowgun was faced horizontally as the Savanna Claws launched and connected onto both sides of the Bowgun, facing forward, acting as additional barrels to the cannon. The Sea Lance then connected to the front of the Crossbow's, similar to an arrow. Finally, the Pyro Sword was locked in on top of the cannon, similar to where an arrow would be placed in a crossbow as the Terra Axe connected to the front of the bowgun's handle, with the bottom half facing forward.

"Justice Striker!" They shouted before Sora aimed it at Igeron, as Reina and Kiba crouched down and held up the end of it, as Cyrus and Ayumi touched Sora's shoulders to hold him in place. 

The Centaur alien's eyes widened in pure shock as great dread began to wash over him at the sight of that weapon.

"What the...!?!" Igeron uttered out.

"Ready!" Kiba and Reina shouted together.

"Aim!" Ayumi and Cyrus shouted together.

"Fire!" Sora shouted, before the Red Ranger pulled the trigger.

The Justice Striker immediately sent out a powerful, rainbow-colored laser beam and hits Igeron dead on, which causes a explosion and making the alien scream out in pain again.

"AH!" he moaned.

The Rangers all took their weapons and turned around, as an explosion went off behind them all.

(End Music)

As the smoke began to clear away, they see Igeron struggling to remain standing, as steam was coming off his body.

The Rangers put their weapons away and turned to him. "Had enough, yet?" Sora taunted. "Because we can keep going!"

Igeron snarled, as he sent a death glare at the team. "This isn't over. I'll be back." He snarled pointing at the Rangers, before he turned around. "You humans will regret challenging the Royal Empire."

He was then engulfed in a purple beam, before vanishing without a trace.

"That's right, run away like a bitch!" Reina shouted happily, as the others cheered.

"We did it!" Kiba cheered. "We beat back the bad guys!"

"Alright!" Cyrus exclaimed in glee.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah!" Ayumi whooped.

"Rangers,  Victory is ours!" Sora chimed in, before he looked down at his hand before smiling and clucthing it. "So this is what it feels like to be a Power Ranger..."

The crowd and the Police Force were all staring at the scene with shocked looks on their faces.

Soon the crowd burst into a fanfare. Members of the media amongst them were also amazed at the shot they had captured. Usually, everyone expected the heroes to show up and win. But now, they were given a shock of their life when they witnessed what five teenagers managed to do.

"Did you see that?!" A man asked.

"Their quirks are amazing!" Another guy said.

"What kind of quirks do they have? They looked like magic." A teenager said.

"They also looked so similar!" Another teen added.

"Did you see those awesome weapons and how they combined them together!?" a third exclaimed.

"Who are they? And what the heck is a Power Ranger!?" Their friend asked.

"I don't know, but they looked pretty cool!" A woman said.

"And did you see the way they turned around from that explosion?!" A guy said.

"Yeah, and it was awesome!" He said, giving him a high five.

Cyrus then walks towards the injured officers and civilians in the city square. "Is everyone here okay?"

A officer coughed blood before asking. "We're... fine... who are you?"

"I think they called themselves 'Power Rangers'." Another officer responded.

"What about... that creature?" The Lt. asked. "Where'd it go?"

"Well, we managed to run the him off this time, but I get the feeling he'll be back." Sora said as he looked up at the sky. 'And we'll be ready.'

Then the sound of more Police cars and ambulances sirens were heard as they immediately arrived at the scene which surprised the Rangers.

"That's not good." Cyrus uttered.

"Hey, guys! We'd should high-tail it out of here!" Kiba said, gesturing to the sirens coming their way.

"Right." Sora agreed as he and the others regrouped and prepare to teleport away.

"Let's move ass, people!" Reina told her friends.

"Hey, wait!" Serena called out, reaching out to them.

Sora looked over at his mother, sighing in relief under his helmet. "Glad to see you're safe, Mom." He said to himself.

The Sergant moved over to stop them. "Hold it! We still have questions for you a-!"

He was then cut off mid sentence when a bright flash engulfed the teens, blinding everyone there. a few moments passed and the flash faded away. Soon, everyone opened their eyes once more but to their shock, the five teens were nowhere to be seen.

"W-W-What the-? Where'd they go?" The Lt. asked, seeing none of the middle schoolers. As all the other officers searched for the suit wearers, someone from the yelled something.

"They're...gone," Serena uttered out as she looked around for the new strangers. "How did they do that... that's not possible... and why did they sound so familiar...?

"Where'd they go?" One of the officer asked, as more police, ambulances, and a number of Pro heroes arrived on the scene.

"Is everyone alright?" A wooden man said. He was a young man with a rather muscular build, standing relatively shorter than other. His face was covered in wood masked he using with his quirk. His Hero Costume is a dark blue bodysuit that includes a wooden belt, wooden knee pads, and wooden shoes. A small bundle of roses hangs from the left side of his belt.

This hero was a man called Kamui Woods.

"Is anyone hurt? The ambulance on there way." The buff man said. He is a very tall, muscular man of a wide build with slightly-tanned skin. He has a square jaw which juts out a notable amount, small eyes and short white hair, spiked out behind his head. In his hero costume, he wears large headband with a yellow and black-striped caution pattern, matching his thick wrist-guards and the belt around his waist, a square buckle with a triangular decoration sat in its centre. He wears what looks to be a cyan-colored cardigan, which exposes his lower torso and the centre of his pectorals, held onto his chest on each side by small metal nuts. His pants are dark blue, a white stripe down each side, and are slightly baggy on him, and his shoes are plain black with a simple design.

This other hero was a man called Death Arms.

"It's Kamui Woods and Death Arms!" A little boy said.

Kamui Woods looked around the parking lot and saw the aftermath of the attack. "What in the world...?"

"My god, who could've one something like this?" Death Arms asked.

"It was the Power Rangers Hero Force!" A little girl said happily.

"Power Rangers...Hero Force?" Kamui Woods raised an eyebrow.

"I never heard of a Pro team with that name before." Death Arms said in curiosity.

"That's because they weren't Pro heroes." They turned it their heads to the Sgt., who walked up to them. "Those young people stopped the one responsible for this." He said to them.

"None of us would even be alive right now without their help." The Lt. weakly said.

"Sergeant." Kamui Woods said to the venture heroes. "Can you explain to us what happened here?"

The Sergeant then explained everything that happened to the villains showing up and the Power Rangers defeating them. The two Pros were surprised that a group of vigilantes showed up saving the city and defeating new strange villains all by themselves.

"So, a bunch of kids acting as vigilantes were responsible for all of this." Death Arms said in annoyance.

"Indeed. It's true that these 'Power Rangers' did beat the villains, but their actions put themselves in danger along with everyone else here." Kamui Woods said, thinking what these Rangers did was reckless. "And any case, those who need medical attention as soon as possible, along with any other who was hurt by the villains."

Soon, the reporters were taking pictures and reporting on what was happening, and paramedics were checking on injured civilians. The medics tended to the citizens' wounds and took them to the hospital while Kamui Woods, Death Arms, and other Pro Heroes were wondering how they were going to deal with these new vigilantes.

"I AM HERE!" A loud booming voice was heard as the Number 1 Hero All Might came down from the skies and lands perfectly on the ground. "Show yourself villains, your vile villainy ends he -" He was then cut off.

"All Might, I'm afraid you're already too late. The villains were already defeated." Death Arms said suddenly as he too was surrounded by his number of fans as well as the other heroes.

"What?! How?! Did you defeat them?!" All Might asked him as he is now too surrounded by his fans and reporters.

"No, someone else did." Kamui Woods said as he's struggling to keep his fans away from him.

"Who?" All Might asked.

"A group who goes by the name of 'Power Rangers'. Apparently, they were a bunch of kids acting as vigilantes." Kamui Woods explained.

"I see. How did they defeat the villain?" All Might asked.

"Umm... All Might, sir, if you want to know, I recorded the whole fight." A middle school girl said, showing him the Power Rangers' fight against Igeron and the Batlzers.

As the video played, the number one hero watched every detail of the fight, to how the Rangers arrived, their fight with Igernon, and how they finished off the villain.

"Astounding! Muiltple Weapons and laser guns? Those looked advanced for Hero Gadgets." All Might thought, as his old friend David Shield never made anything close to that. "Also, I've never seen a villain like that before. What kind of Quirk does he have? And the way that they're fighting...Just who are they??? 

But what got All Might's attention the most was how the Rangers called themselves 'Hero Force', a group of heroes he had never heard of before. But for some strange reason, All Might couldn't help but feel some kind of powerful meaning behind those two words.

"Power Rangers: Hero Force? Just what is that? And how did a couple of kids get their hands on such technology." All Might thought with narrowed eyes.


In Space - Alsatia's Ship

"They...They wiped out the whole platoon!?" Ernesh gaped in shock by what he just witnessed.

 "Interesting..." Alsatia mused as she walked over to his window at Earth. "It would appear that these humans were not the cowering wretches I was informed of."

Igeron was seening kneeling dwon behind his Queen with his head low. "Forgive me for my error, my Lady. I was confident that those pests wouldn't be a match for once forces."

"On the contray, I'd say this was a marvelous surprise." Alsatia spoke, running her hand down her staff. "To think that there are humans on this planet who can provide me with some entertainment. Especially these Power Rangers."


Command Center

The Rangers were teleported back to the Command Center, this time, they managed to land on their feet. 

"Power Down!" The team said as their Ranger suits suddenly vanished, reverting them back into their school uniforms. 

"Man, I'm beat." Kiba feeling exhausted from using the Ranger form as he holds himself up from collapsing.

"Hey, we're back!" Ayumi grinned, looking around the room.

"It must've been Katrina." Cyrus assumed, pushing up his glasses.

"You are correct, Cyrus." Katrina's voice replied as she appeared in front of the group. "Despite this being your very first battle, you all did very well."

"It was...definitely something." Sora breathed out.

"I think we were just lucky this time." Cyrus said, rubbing the back of his head.

"Luck had nothing to do with it, you rose to the occasion and unlocked your powers. Don't doubt yourselves." Katrina told them, "Because it seems news of you all spreaded within a matter of moments."

Katrina swiped her hand as her hologram screen appear once again, the group turned their attention to the screen to see a female reporter in front on the damaged area that was now covered in police tape.

"People have been talking about non stop about it.  Earlier today, witnesses say a purple light suddenly appeared out of the sky and out of that light...came a Terrifying Horse-Man and 'Freaky claw creatures.' who had begun attacking the city and the citzens within seconds."

A clip shows a platoon of Batzler Soliders, led by Igeron, appearing before they suddenly began attacking the city.

"Lucky they were defeated and no one was seriously hurt in the process. But shockingly, it wasn't the Police Force nor the Heroes who stopped them."

A clip then shows the new Power Rangers arriving on the scene, morphed and ready. After they, they were seen fighting the Batzler Soldiers and winning.

"Apparently, a group of young teenagers had appeared out of nowhere today, in colored uniforms. Apparently, people are calling them the 'Power Rangers.' Just listen to some of the people who were inside the building during this horrific crisis."

The camera cut to an older man who looked half in shock and half in awe.

"It was crazy! In all my life, I've never seen such youngesters fight like Pros!"

The camera cut to several other people, each with their own story to tell about the team.

"The yellow guy caught all of the claws with one. ONE HAND! Can you believe that!?"

"The pink one was jumping around like crazy, like boing and boing! It was pretty hot"

"The blue flew right over and blasted one of those thing with a laser gun!"

"The one in green was a girl that young!? Hehe! She really showed girl-power today!"

"The red one? Um...I  think he looked pretty cool."

The scene changes to a woman holding a small boy in her arms.

"Me and my son were about to be killed by one of those things until we were saved by those ki...no, by those Power Rangers. I was scared to think what would happen to my son and myself, but knowing that we were saved, I'm happy that they saved our lives. Whoever they are, thank you." The woman explained while crying a little into the camera, before changing to a man who was injured during the attack.

"For a minute there I thought we were done for until those youngins showed up. I don't know who those five are, but I owe them my life." The injured man said in a grateful tone, as the scene changes again back to the newsman.

"As you can see, these Power Rangers played a larger role in the saving of the civilians during this dangerous attack. Unfortunately, they vanished after stopping the attack-"

The woman's voice was cut off as the hologram screen vanished, courtesy of Katrina.

"Wow..." Was all Sora said.

"The news sure does travel fast, huh?" Kiba said, atonished.

 "They'll run whatever they can if it means getting more views." Cyrus added in, fixing up his glasses.

"Maybe. But now this just means that EVERYONE knows who we are," Ayumi said in worry. "Won't that mean they'll try to find us?"

"I mean that's a possibility, we're not exactly licensed..." Cyrus added, pushing up his glasses.

"Let them talk, I don't care." Reina scoffed. "We did what we thought was right and saved some lives. Anyone who disagree can go screw themselves."

"You were all chosen and for good reason." Katrina told them. "Your lives have probably just changed in ways you probably couldn't have imagined. But as long as you work together, and remember, you're a team, no one can defeat you. No one."

The five teens all looked to each other, knowing that the city's fate was on their shoulders.

"You can count on it, Kat." Kiba assured with a charming smile.

"Same here." Reina agreed as she leaned on her hip.

"I'm in." Ayumi stated with a thumbs up happily.

"Right." Cyrus assured, nodding.

"This has to be the craziest day of school ever." Sora said as he looks at the team, "But I think we're prepared to do our part. I finally have a purpose in life and I'm going do whatver I can to help. Which is why...I'm going to apply for U.A!"

Everyone looked surprised by Sora's words as they all looked at him. "What...?"

"U.A...?" Kiba questioned.

"I'm going to apply for U.A." The brunette repeated with conviction. "It's a school that helped Heroes, right? So, I'm going to enroll and become the first ever Quirkless person and Power Ranger to go there."

Hearing this, the other Rangers couldn't help but smile at their friend determination.

"Well, in that case..." Kiba spoke up, "I'm going to U.A too."

"Kiba...." Sora said, a surprised tone in his voice.

"What, did you think I was going to let you have all the fun?" Kiba questioned as he wrapped his arm around the brunette's neck, "We kicked butt out there today and looked good doing it in the process. Besides, you heard Katrina...I light up everyroom I walk in. Why stop now?"

Sora looked at his friend for a while before he smiled. "Sure, why not."

"No way in hell I'm letting you guys have all the fun." Reina snorted.

"That goes for all of us," Ayumi added as Cyrus nodded in agreement.

"We're a team, after all!" The bluenette spoke.

"Let's do it." Sora said.

He put his hand out, then Reina put her hand on top, followed by Kiba, then Cyrus, and finally Ayumi.

"Rangers together! Heroes Forever!" they shouted together, jumping up.

To Be Continued...


 

 

Notes:

Done and done. I also planned to swtich things off from canon a bit to make it more interesting. On a related noted, what do you think about a few MHA characters becoming Power Rangers?

Earth - Musutafu, Japan: The next day

A sign was on a building, with the word's Musutafu's Youth Center, Gym, and Juice bar.

"Musutafu, radio." A woman sang on the radio.

"It's a stupendous Saturday in Musutafu, and the big hello goes out to Maddie and the kids at the Musutafu Youth Center, Gym, and Juice bar." said the announcer on the radio. "Keep the fruit shakes flowing, Maddie."

Inside the Youth Center, it was a large area for working out as where others tended to practice their martial arts. There were usually mats on the floor to cushion falls and a punching bag that people usually used. Exercise machines lined the wall right of the Juice Bar which also held arcade games in a small box-like area. The right side held the entrances either to the exit hall, storage room, or locker rooms. And near the back of the front area was a small stage.

All around the center, several teens were sitting on couches reading magazines and comics, or standing up near them; Others were sitting by computers or on tables with a laptop.

Ayumi was seen doing gymnastics on the balance beam, stretching her arms out as she moved along it.

Nearby, Sora and Kiba were doing karate together as Sora spun around to kick Kiba, who ducked to dodge it, then Kiba sent an axe-kick at him.

"Hyah!" The blonde yelled as Sora dodged it.

Kiba dodged as Sora sent another kick at him, then spun around to kick him again, but missed as Kiba ducked while trying to tackle him, making him miss. Kiba then rolled over as Sora jumped over him to the other side of the mat before they got up and turned to each other. Kiba then spun around to high-kick Sora, who dodged it, then Sora blocked another kick with his hand. He then grabbed Kiba's arm as Sora tried to whack him before he punched Kiba in the hip, making him laugh.

Reina was nearby a window and doing sit-ups, as Ayumi did a backward handspring on the balance beam.

Kiba kicked Sora in the chest, who grabbed his foot, and he lifted it up as Kiba turned around, making him somersault through the air.

"Ah!" Kiba yelled before landing on his feet and turning to Sora.

"Nice recovery, Kibs." the brunette commented, sounding impressed.

"Hey, thanks for teaching me, bro." Kiba said as they fist-bumped.

Ayumi then somersault of the balance beam and land gracefully, holding up her arms in the process. "Nailed it!" She cheered happily.

Reina stopped doing pushups and went over to the pinkette. "Nice form, Ayo." she complemented.

Ayumi smiled at the greenette. "Thanks, Rei. What about you? Managed to beat your old record?"

"More or less." Reina merely shrugged as she rolled her shoulders. "If I want to, I could try for higher."

Cyrus, on the other hands, was currently sitting at the counter of the Juice Bar, looking through his phone at the latest video about the Rangers' appearance.

The video has already generated over a million hits within minutes after posting yesterday and the numbers kept on raising.

The first hundreds of comments all wanted to know who the Power Rangers were. The next several were immediately erased because of the raunchiness of other viewers about what they wanted to do to the Rangers, which made Cyrus madly blush in embarrassment. Several more wanted to steal their tech for themselves or have them arrested for breaking the law and it just continued from there.

Ever since their sudden debut, the rumors had spread like wildfire each one becoming more ridiculous than the next.

The Power Rangers could move faster than the speed of sound.

The Power Rangers were bulletproof.

The Power Rangers could fly.

The Power Rangers was able to twist and rip a gun apart with their bare hands.

The Power Rangers shit golden turds...!!!?

The male Power Rangers can make women orgasm by glancing their way and the female Rangers make men har...

At this point people were just making stuff up as the list went on.

"The human mind is a wild thing..." Cyrus uttered as he scrolled down the comments.

"Yoohoo, Cy~"

The sudden female voice started Cyrus out of his stupor as he looked from his phone and up to an attractive midde-aged woman with green eyes and wavy brown hair. She wore a simple short-sleeved v-neck and a pair of capris, topped off with an apron when on the job and a silver-turquoise necklace that she never seems to go without. She also wears a pair of red flats.

This was Maddie, owner of the Youth Center

This was Maddie, owner of the Youth Center.

"Oh, hey Maddie." Cyrus greeted sheepishly. "Sorry, I got lost looking through these comments."

Maddie hummed at this. "Let me guess, they're about the new heroes from yesterday?" 

Cyrus looked up at her in mid surpise. "Heh, good guess." He joked.

Maddie merely waved him off. "Not really. Considering that they've been the talk of town all morning, I'm not all that surprised."

Cyrus tilted his head at Maddie's peculiar response. "Umm. Yeah, you don't seem to think negative about those guys, considering their not licensed heroes."

Maddie simply just smiles at the Blue Ranger, placing a tray of five different flavored smoothies on the table. "Anywho, I have your group's orders right here." She told him, before walking off in the back.

"Oh thanks!" Cyrus nodded to her, before looking over at his team. "Hey, guys! Smoothies are ready!"

Hearing that, the four Rangers looked over to where their friend was, gesturing to their frozen treats.

"Alright!" Sora grinned as he and the others went over to their friend, each taking a smoothie from the counter

"Yeah, thanks!" Ayumi chirped, taking a sip from her smoothie. "Mmmmm~"

"Just what I needed." Reina sighed in glee at the coldness of her drink.

"Yes! Smoothie time! My favorite time of the year!" Kiba sang out in a childish manner.

"Pfft! You always say that every year." Ayumi giggled.

"And here's to more years to come!"

Before more could be said, Maddie poked her head out from the backroom. "Hey kids, do you mind helping me at the back?" She asked the group, getting their attention. "It would only take a minute."

"Maddie, but can I finish my smoothie fir- Ow!" Kiba was then interrupted by Reina kicking at his leg.'

 "Sure thing, Mads." The greenette smiled, as if she didn't doing anything.

"Count on us!" Ayumi chirped happily. 

 "Yeah,"  Sora spoke, giving a small thumbs up.

 "Of course." Cyrus nodded.

 "S-Sure." Kiba groaned out, rubbing his sore leg.

 "Great! Follow the leader!" Said Maddie as she disappeared around the corner with a smirk on her face.

Soon, the Rangers moved into the back area, where they saw Maddie standing next to the counter. Reina folded her arms and said. "So, what seems to be the problem that you needed help from us, Madi." 

 Maddie leaned against the counter with an innocent smile. "I'm so glad you asked, Rei. Well it's a strange one it's called.... Geronimo." 

 The Rangers look at each other and said in the unison. "Geronimo?" 

 This made the owner laugh a bit inside as she reach out her hand under the countertop to flick a switch and said. "Have fun on the slide!" 

"Wha-?"

Suddenly, the floor where the five teens stood slid wide open, causing the Rangers falling into it, screaming in the process. As soon as the team fell in, the floor closed up as if nothing even happened. 

With a hum, Serena nodded to herself as she made her way over to a wall. "Welp, better start explaining."


Someplace where nobody would even think possible was a smooth round metallic tunnel. It was long, wide, and curved in all kinds of direction. One could say it was some kind of joy ride from an amusement park. Eventually faint screams could be heard coming from somewhere within the tunnel. They soon grew louder as the group on the ride came into view. Sora, Cyrus, Reina, Kiba and Ayumi were all sliding down this seemingly endless pipe while screaming their lungs out.

After what seemed like hours, the team fell and landed flat on their faces on top of each other.

"Ok...if you're not dead, say 'Aye'. " Sora managed to say.

There were a few groans before everyone said "Aye."

"Ouch!" Ayumi groaned, sitting up and rubbing her head.

"Hello, Rangers!" Katrina's voice came up as she pixelated in front of them. "Glad to see you all made it."

The Rangers looked up at the A.I in shock and confusion. "Katrina!?" They exclaimed in unison, before taking in their surroundings and realizing that they were now in the Command Chamber.

"The hell...?" Reina mumbled outloud.

"W-What's going on?" Ayumi asked, trying to wrap her head around things. "How are we here?"

"Do not fear, we're still in the command center but this is the many entrances to the Command Center, besides warping of course. You had just took one of the first." Katrina explained.

"Okay, but what's pathway to the chamber doing connected to the Youth Center?" Sora questioned.

"My friend and I wanted to try something new. And luckily, it was a successful test with no serious injuries."

"Wait, did you just say friend?" Cyrus questioned. "Who are you talking about?"

"That would be me."

Hearing the familiar voice, the Rangers turned their heads to see an elevator door opening to reveal...Maddie walking out of it with a smile.

"Ahh! Mads!" Katrina exclaimed in glee, waving happily at her.

"MADDIE!?" The team exclaimed outloud, numerous of thoughts going through their heads.

"W-What are you doing here!?" Reina shouted.

"Y-You're Katrina's friend!?" Sora yelled in shock.

"When did this happen?" Ayumi asked.

"More so to the point, what do you know about all of this?" Cyrus questioned.

"I know what the world is now up against, and that you five are the only ones capable of stopping it." Maddie said, walking forward.

This took the Rangers by surprise. "Wait, so you know that we're...?"

"The new group of heroes from yesterday? Pretty much." Maddie nodded with a shrug. 

"Wha-How-Why...!?" Kiba gaped out, gripping his head. "I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS!!!"


A few minutes later, Maddie had explained everything to the Rangers.

"Several years ago, when I first opened up shop, I came across this place the same as you all did. Imagine my surprise when I found out something like this was under my shop. It was here where I met Katrina and sometime later, we became friends." the woman explained. "It was then that I first learned about what's been going on. She told me about how she was looking for 5 people worthy enough to become 'Power Rangers'. Low and behold, it turned out to be my favorite customers."

"If that's true, how come you didn't say anything earlier?" Cyrus asked, tilting his head at her.

Maddie folded her arms as she leaned on her hip. "I could've, but..."

"I told her not to say anything, because we wanted to see the looks on your faces when you found out." Katrina giggled as she floated above them. "And I have to say...I wasn't disappointed."

"Wow, glad you both got a kick out of that..." Sora said with a sweatdrop.

"Alrighty then..." Katrina spoke placing her hands on her hips. "Now, it's time to you can start your training." 

"Training?" Kiba questioned in confusion.

"That's right. I was inform that U.A. entrance exam is 10 months away, so the sooner we start the better. You all may have gotten your Morphers yesterday, but you need to strengthen your body's, minds, and spirits." Katrina said to them.

"What do you mean?" Reina asked her.

"I'm taking about the back lash when you de-morph. Your body's don't have the stamina and strength to maintain your Ranger form for a long period of time." Katrina example to them.

"Now that I think about it, after I de-morph from my fight against those Batzlers, I did feel pretty tired." Kiba said to all of them.

"Exactly." Katrina said as she snapped her finger. Soon, pixiels began to appear all over the room, engulfing it in a matter of seconds. Within moments, the pixiels all vanished to reveal the group standing in a construction site, underneath a night sky.

This made all of their eyes widened in surprise. "What the...?" Sora gaped in shock.

"Uh, question!" Kiba exclaimed. "Why the heck are we at a construction site?"

"And wasn't it daylight when we got here!?" Reina exclaimed, sounding just as shocked.

Katrina laughed. "Actually, it's a stimluation of sort. Here, you're allowed to touch and interact with the projections around you."

"Wow, today's tech has nothing on this." Maddie commented as she took in the scene.

"Amazing!" Ayumi said, inching closer to the projection. A few seconds later, she reached forward hesitantly and poked it, as if she were terrified that it would bite her. "It feels real and everything!"

"Well, of course it's real, Ayu." Cyrus said. "To think we're seeing such technology at work..."

"Which is why you're here." Katrina said, gettting the group's attention. "Alsatia knows of your existence now and she will no doubt strike with an even larger force than before. To prepare you for that, I'll create several foes for you to face."

She then wiped her hand to the side as more pixiels floated in front of the teens, swirling around before they started to take shape into digitlized, purple-colored foot soldiers who all snarled at the teens.

"Ugh, they look so gross..." Ayumi said as her body shuddered in disgust.

"These creatures before you are a simulation of monsters." Katrina explained. "They're called Oozemen. You must beat them all... using only your natural strength."

That stopped the group and they looked at her with wide eyes.

"Why?" Sora was the first to ask.

"Because the purpose of this training is to strengthen your natural strength and increase your stamina. So using your enhanced strength from your Morphers will defeat the purpose." Katrina explained to them.

The new Power Rangers didn't like the idea, but couldn't argue with that logic. They knew it wasn't going to be easy, but they weren't going to quit. They were determined to become Power Rangers, even if it killed them.

"Look, relax, guys. It's a just hologram." Kiba said as he confidentally walked up to the Oozemen. He glanced back at his friends "Like in a video game. I'm sure we can take th-"

The blonde was cut off mid sentence as one of the Oozemen slammed it's fist into his stomach, sending him flying backwards at the group's feet. "Okay...not a video game." He wheezed out.

"Kiba, are you okay?" Ayumi asked as helped the boy up to his feet.

"That's a strong-ass hologram." Sora commented in awe.

"No pain, no gain I guess." Reina said stretching her arms. "Come on guys, let's do this!"

"Yea! If we work together, we can get done with this in no time!" Cyrus said in conference.

"Okay!" Ayumi said with a nod as they all took defensive stances.

Cyrus looked down a small cliff that they were standing on and he turned to his friends. "Looks like there's plenty of room down there."

"Go, guys!" Sora told them before he roundhouse kicked a Oozmen back, giving the others time to jump to the bottom, with Ayumi and Cyrus going first, Reina and Kiba following , and Sora bringing up the rear a few minutes later as the Oozmen growled at them from above.

"You guys are gonna pay for that cheap shot!" Kiba yelled in comical anger.

"Divide and conquer!" Sora told his friends.

The rangers nodded and they ran off in different directions as Sora broke a shovel so he could attack the Oozemen with the wooden stick part of the shovel. Then the Oozemen jumped off of the cliff.

"Let's dance, asshats!" Sora taunted as the Oozemen charged at him. He then started swinging the stick at the the purple monsters, taking one out with each swing. He then did a roundhouse kick and knocked another ooze man off of its feet. "Heads up!"

Kiba did a flip off the rocks, over onto a flat surface, and when he landed, an Oozeman followed him. He noticed a small metal can on the ground. He then looked at the Oozeman and said "How about a game of kick the can?" The blond picked up the can with his foot and kicked it at the ooze man. The can slammed into the Oozeman's stomach which made it hunch over. Kiba rolled over the back of the Oozeman and then swiped the Oozeman's feet from under him. When Kiba started to get up he couldn't avoid the punch another Oozeman threw at him.

Reina ran from a few Oozemen who were chasing after her. Suddenly she stopped and ducked as one of the Oozemen launched itself at her causing it fly over her and land on its back on the ground. She then sent a powerful kick to another Oozman's gut causing it to stumble backwards. After she did that she grabbed the arm of one Oozman's and then the arm of another and she slammed the two ooze men together. 

"Kiss and make up!" The greenette told them. But just as she slammed the two Oozmen together, they stayed attached to her arms and flipped her a couple of times. After she regained her balance, she slammed them together once more and flipped them over onto their backs.

Cyrus did a few forward handsprings towards an Oozman and once he approached it, he sent several powerful kicks to its gut causing it to stumble backwards and hit the ground.

Ayumi jumped into the air and she kicked two Oozmen in the gut causing one to fall to the ground. The other went to attack her, but she started to run and it chased after her. She then stopped and spun her foot underneath its feet causing it to fall backwards and hit the ground.

Kiba was throwing numerous punches and kicks at an Oozman. The purple grunt then went to throw a kick at Kiba's gut but he did a backwards handspring to avoid the blow. He then threw a kick at the Oozman's face causing it to fly backwards. Seeing another Ozzman coming his, way, he then ran over to a crane.

"Here, let me get the door!" Kiba said as he opened the door and the Oozman that was chasing him ran into it, making it fall backwards.

Cyrus grabbed an Oozman's arm and he flipped it over onto its back. He then sent a powerful punch to its chest and he just looked at his hand when he saw it was covered in purple ooze.

"You ooze, you lose," he joked. But just as he said this, another Oozman came out of nowhere and tackled the blunette, knocking him off of his feet.

"Get off me!" Reina said as she struggled to get out of a tight grip that an Oozman had her in. She looked up and saw that another ooze man was coming straight for her. Once it approached her, she sent a kick to its chest making it fly backwards. She then was able to elbow the Oozman that was holding her in the gut and she flipped it over onto its back.

Ayumi did a back flip off of a rock, and over an Oozman and she kicked it in the back making it hit a group or rocks. "Stay down," She said, before turning her head and saw more Oozmen approaching her. "See ya," She said as she did backwards handsprings out of the area.

"Wait up, Ayumi!" Cyrus said as he did backwards handsprings as well out of the area.

An Oozman sent a kick to Sora's gut and once his foot collided with him, he went sailing backwards and hit the ground with a hard thud. Ayumi and Cyrus got to the brunette and they helped him to his feet.

"You okay?" Ayumi asked him.

"Yeah," Sora said as he grabbed his side.

Reina ran over to their friends. Kiba was thrown towards them by a few Oozmen and he landed at his friends' feet.

"Kiba!" Cyrus yelled, concerned about his friend. Once they looked around their surroundings and found that the Oozmen have all disappeared.

"Wh...Where'd they go?" Ayumi asked as she looked around.

"Keep your eyes peeled," Reina told her friends.

Kiba's ear twitched as he looked to the right. "Heads up guys," he said as he pointed in front of them. "Over there!"

Everyone turned in the direction Kiba was pointing in and saw one of the Oozemen running into a tunnel like area.

"Careful guys," Sora warned. "It could be a trap."

"Right," the other Rangers said as they followed their leader.


 

The Rangers continued walking cautiously through the dark parking area, looking in every direction.

"Five intrepid friends, led by Kibs~," Kiba sung softly to himself as they continued down the area, "Their leader, Kibs. Kiba's Angels, mmm-mmm-mmm~! Kiba's Angels, mmm-mmm-mmm~! Harnessing the power of the sun. With the Ancient Amulet they found in the attic~! Mmm-mmm-mmm~!The Amulet is green...mmm-mmm-mmm~! It's probably an emerald~! Mmm-mmm-mmm-!"

"Kiba, I swear to God," Reina whispered harshly, "If you don't shut up, I will slap the blonde off of you."

"Guys, shh," Sora spoke up before turning his attention back forward.

"Man, this place gives me the creeps," Ayumi said. "It's like being in one of those horror movies..."

"I've got a bad feeling about this place," Cyrus said. Just then they heard a noise and they all got into fighting stances.

"Anybody see anything?" Kiba asked, looking left and right.

"No. Where'd it come from?" Reina asked.

"We'll know in a minute," Sora replied. "Turn on your Morpher light beams."

As everyone did this, the faces of their morphers all lit up. "Ah, that's better. Kiba said.

"Definitely," Ayumi agreed. "Anyone see anything yet?"

"No," Reina said in frustration. "This so annoying."

"Alright, stay alert," Sora told everyone as they continued walking through the dark parking area.

Just then, Cyrus spotted one of the Oozemen. "Over there!" He shouted at the same time as they pointed to the right.

Everyone turned in the direction that Cyrus had pointed in and they saw the Oozemen charging towards them.

"Spread out!" Sora shouted.

"Right!" the other rangers agreed as they began to split up in different directions.

An Oozeman charged at Sora and before it got within inches of him, Sora did a roundhouse kick making it fall backwards and hit the ground. "Sit down!"

Another Oozeman charged at Ayumi and before it could attack her, she sent powerful kicks to its gut. "You...guys...make...me...sick...sick...sick!" she said with disgust in her voice, kicking it between each word. She then sent one more kick to its gut, causing it to fly upwards towards the ceiling. Once it hit the ceiling, it fell to the ground with a bell sound.

As Cyrus was fighting an Oozeman it caught him off guard and it sent a powerful punch to his face. When its fist collided with Cyrus, he flew backwards and hit the ground. Fixing up his glasses, he quickly got back to his feet and kept on kicking it and then kicked the Oozeman in the face knocking it off of its feet.

Ayumi and Reina teamed up as they took on two Oozemen. Reina did a flip over one of the Oozeman to avoid a blow to the face. She then spun her foot underneath its feet causing it to fall to the ground. Ayumi did a few forward handsprings towards an Oozeman and once she approached it she sent a powerful blow to its gut causing it to fly backwards and slam into a metal tower making ooze fly everywhere.

"He's outta there!" Reina said as she and Ayumi gave each other a high five.

"It's gonna be one messy night," Ayumi told her friend.

Sora and Kiba did a flip off of a platform and they made a perfect landing on their feet. Three Oozemen jumped off of the platform after them.

"Up and over?" Kiba asked as he turned to his friend.

"Sounds good!" Sora said.

The two then did a flip over the Oozemen . Sora jumped up into the air and he kicked two Oozemen in the gut making them stumble backwards and hit the ground. Kiba did a roundhouse kick and he knocked the third Oozeman off of its feet. He then spun around and noticed that another one was approaching Sora.

"Sor, heads up!" Kiba warned.

Sora turned his head around and saw that the Oozeman was about ready to launch himself at him. Sora ducked as Kiba jumped over him.

"Going airborne!" Kiba hollered as he sent a heavy kick to the Oozeman's face making it fly backwards.

"These guys don't know when to quit," Sora said as he and Kiba watched as an Oozeman get to its feet. "Double whammy?"

"You're on," Kiba said with a smirk.

Sora then charged at the Oozeman from the left and Kiba charged at it from the right. The  Oozeman looked from the two boys who were both charging at it, and then it looked forward.

"Uh oh." Was all it said before the two then sent powerful kicks to its head making its eyes bug out before it hit the ground.

As Cyrus went to throw a punch at an Oozeman's face, it grabbed his arm and it threw him into a wall. The blunette spun out of control as he flew through the air and slammed into the wall on the ground floor.

"Oww, that hurts." Cyrus groaned as he regained his balance. The Oozeman ran over was about to strong a punch, before Cyrus launched forward and sent a powerful corkscrew kick to its gut making it fly backwards into a wall splattering ooze everywhere. "All that training with Sora really paid off!"

After throwing an  Oozeman off of a platform, Ayumi looked down on the ground floor and saw that an Oozeman was about to jump up to attack her. "Step off, creep!" She said, and before it could attack her, she jumped off of the platform and sent a powerful corkscrew kick to its gut making it fly backwards into a wall splattering ooze everywhere.

Reina threw a punch at an Oozeman's face and she knocked it off of its feet. But another  Oozeman sent heavy kicks to her gut and made her fly backwards into a wall.

"Hold on, Reina!" Cyrus shouted as he ran towards her direction. Once he approached the  Oozemen that were charging at her, he jumped started kicking at their heads and counting each one as he did. "One...two...three...four...five...six," Cyrus said as he did a flip off of the last one and made a perfect landing on his feet. Cyrus then back flipped over to Reina and helped her to her feet. "Are you okay?"

"Yea." Reina said as she allowed Cyrus to pull her to her feet. "These guys are tough."

"Let's finish these purple parasites," the bluenette said.

"You said it."

The two then did a back flip and landed on a ledge behind them. Ayumi did a flip and she landed on the ledge next to Kiba, who flipped and landed on the ledge as well. Sora was the last to land on the ledge and when they made perfect landings on their feet.

"So, anyone got an idea on how to end these things?" Ayumi questioned.

Sora looked around before noticing several blades from a blade cutter lying on the ground. He headed over and carefully grabbed one of the blades, before heading back over to his friends.

"Anybody up for Ooze Cakes?" Sora told the approaching ooze men. He then flung the blade to a crate that was above them as it cut right through the chain that was holding the crate up and the crate fell to the ground below. It landed on top of the ooze men and purple ooze splattered everywhere.

"Yeah!" the Rangers cheered when the Oozeman had finally been defeated...right before collapsing in exhaustion as the simulation ended and pixelated back into the Command Chamber.

"You kids are quite something." Katrina said as she floated above the teens. "Well done."

"We... did... It... ." Cyrus said breathing heavily.

"Yeah... that was... a piece... of cake." Sora exhausting said.

"No kidding." Reina said with her hands on her knees.

"Victory." Ayumi said tiredly giving a victory hand sign. "Ahh, I could really use a shower right now."

"Wow, Katrina has really put you guys through the ringer!" Maddie said as she walked over to the teens.

"Nah, I...can do this...all day." Kiba said through breaths.

"Good. Since you all finished up your training today, we'll call it a day and resume your training tomorrow." Katrina said.

"Wait, we still have to train unmorphed?" the blonde asked asked in confusion.

"Yes. You completed the first hurdle, but that still gives you all more time to improve. So your going to keep on training until a day before your exam."

"T-That make sense." Kiba feel pretty stupid for asking that question, but couldn't deny that logic.

"Fighting the holograms one part of your training to develop your muscles. Now for the next part, you 5 will be doing doing the same thing, with but hand to hand combat training to improve your martial arts and jogging to improve your stamina." Katrina said to them.

The five of them nodded to him, as she disappeared from their sights before the simulation disappeared and show the team now back in the Command Chamber.

"Since you're done for today, why don't I treat you all to lunch?" Maddie asked them.

"Sure. I'm down for that." Reina shrug her shoulders.

"Me too." Cyrus said.

"Same." Kiba as he weakly threw up a hand.

"Ditto!" Ayumi nodded in agreement.

"Sounds good." Sora agreed.

"By the way, Maddie?" Cyrus spoke up, getting the woman's attention. "How did you get here in the first place.

"Oh. I took the elavator." Maddie simply replied, waving him off. "Much more convenient."

As the Youth Center owner continued on her way, there was an awkward silence for the Rangers as they took in that little info.

"WAIT WHAT!?"

To Be Continued...

He-ro Force!


It's been several weeks since the new Power Rangers began their hellish training for the U.A. entrance exam while maintaining their daily lives. The five of them also had to face numerous hologram monsters without the use of their superhuman strength to increase their muscles and reflexes. 

"No matter how much butt we kick, it barely looks like we're doing anything." Kiba said falling to the ground from exhaustion.

"That or there's a lot more to this than we realize," Cyrus said sitting down next to Kiba.

Ayumi walked over and sat on the ground too as she caught her breath. "I don't think I've ever sweat this much in cheerleading practice." She said wiping the sweat from her forehead.

"Wooo..." Reina uttered, out as she stretched out her leg. "I love a good workout as much as the next person, but this one ups that."

"I know it all seems exhausting, but trust me when I say that it'll be all worth it in the end." Sora repsonded, walking over with a towel around his neck.

"You are all doing an excellent job." Katrina appeared, getting their attention. "You managed to complete about 40% of your training and are still making good progress." 

"Only 40%?! We're not even halfway done!" Kiba shouted loudly.

"Oh, woman up already!" Reina yelled at him.

"Makes sense, since school and our daily lives keep us busy to train 24/7, not only that but we also need to take resting periods so we don't overwork ourselves," Sora said seeing the A.I's plan.

"Plus, we never would have made this much progress if we hadn't worked together." Ayumi added on.

"You're right, Ayumi. While you all are pretty close friends, this will also improve your teamwork in battle as well, to the point you can trust each other without question. Rangers are at their strength when they work together as one." Katrina explained to them.

"That's a good point." Cyrus agreed, seeing where Katrina is going with this.

After seeing the Power Rangers in action, they learned that there was always a team of 3 or 5 members at the beginning before new Rangers joined the team. Most of them manage to beat villains on their own, but they truly shine when they fight together as a team.

"Right," Katrina said with a nod and checked the time. "I think this might be a perfect time for a break."

"Good, 'cause I'm starving," Sora said as his stomach was growing.

"Yeah." Cyrus said with a nod.

"Same..." Kiba groaned out, as he laid back on the floor.

"Food does sound nice right now." Ayumi weakly said.

"Lucky for you guys, I came prepared." The four looked towards Reina, who walked over to her bag and pulled out something. "Here." She said, extending both of her hands with objects covered in black cloth.

"For us?" Sora asked, grabbing one.

"What do you think?" Reina asked. "You think I'm just showing these to you guys?"

"Oh, thank you." Ayumi said taking one.

"Yeah, thanks." Cyrus said taking one too.

"What is it?" Kiba asked, taking the last one.

The group opened the covers, and saw a sandwich inside, each filled with a variety of stuff inside. "Don't just stare at them, hurry and eat!" Reina said holding another one for herself.

"Oh... Ok." Sora said, but before anyone could eat it, Kiba stopped them.

"Before you eat it, you should prepare an antidote, God knows what she put inside it." Kiba quietly joked.

A tick mark appeared on Reina's head. "You want to die?" She seemed to have heard his little remark.

"Ah! Ehm... Nevermind, eat and rejoice!" Kiba said sweating slightly in fear.

Everyone sweatdropped at the blonde's complete silence while being death glared by Reina, they could understand though. Sora then looked at his food, then took a bite, after tasting it, his eyes widened. "It's delicious..." He then continued to eat his food, a bit too fast.

"Really?" Kiba asked, and then he took a bite as well. "You're right... It's good." 

 "What are you talking about? This is delicious!" Ayumi commented in awe, as she ate her sandwich.

"This is great! When did you get the food?" Cyrus asked.

"I'm prepared for situations like this, so I packed them up this morning." Reina said, as she ate her food.

"As expected of our resident sports junkie!" Kiba said earning a smack to the head from Sora. "Ouch!... I deserved that..."

"So, where did you buy it from, Rei?" Ayumi asked, trying to keep the peace. "I'd like to go there and get more of these!"

"They're not for sale."

"Huh?" The group looked at her in confusion.

"What do you mean?" Cyrus asked, pausing on his eating.

"I can cook, you know." Reina said, turning her head from them.

The other Rangers looked at each other, then looked at the greenette who was munching on her own snack.

"What?"

Sora waved her off. "Nothing, it's just...I never knew you had a talent for this." He said, holding up his sandwich.

 "Yeah, we basically grew up together and not ONCE have you mentioned that you can COOK!" Kiba pointed out. "What gives?"

"Look, it's not that big of a deal, alright!" Reina told him. "It's just something I often do at home when I'm alone. Besides, it's not like this is something I could've just brought up."

"No need to be embarrassed, Rei." Ayumi assured, moving over to her side. "It's not like we're going to judge you for it."

"She's right, Reina." Cryus agreed. "No matter what you like or what you can do, we'll still like you as friends." 

Reina glanced over at them as she took in their words. 

"You know, if you put this on an auction you could easily get rich." Sora said.

"That's no good, man." Kiba said, his friends looked at him. "For some people, the food they cook isn't for sale, no, it's for the people they care about, to watch them eat our food, their smiles and happy faces are rewarding enough." Kiba spoke up standing up, then he walked forward. "The food they made can also-" The blonde was cut off as he slipped, the sandwich in his hand fell and dropped to the ground. 

"Damn, that sucks." Was all Sora said.

"NOOOO!" Kiba cried out in despair, because of the now dead sandwich that he only took two bites from. 

As Sora, Cyrus, and Ayumi laugh at the scene before them, Reina snorted loudly and shook her head the silliness.

Katrina merely watches the team's interactions with a smile on her face.

Katrina clears her throat, gaining the Rangers' attention before speaking. "I hate to ruin the moment, but could you please follow me once you're all recovered?" 

 "What for, Kat?" Sora asked with a raised eyebrow. 

 Katrina answered with a small smile. "Let's just say that I have a little surprise I think you all would definitely like." She then raised a hand and snapped her fingers.

The Rangers all turned to a door that opened up as smoke came out of it as the sound of gears were heard all around. They then moved inside and saw nothing but darkness.

"Where...the heck are we?" Kiba asked.

"I can't see anything." Sora spoke trying to see through it.

"Katrina?" Ayumi called out. "What's going on?"

"Rangers, listen closely. Where you are is a subterranean hanger with five powerful robotic assault vehicles." Katrina's voice explained as the sound of gears begun to retract. "Now that you are halfway done with your training and preparing to become this world's team of Rangers, what I am about to show you...will forever change your lives."

A bright light erupted from the ground, causing the Rangers to shield their faces from the light, before as the brilliance soon began to fade.

When they felt secure enough to look, the team lowered their arms and gasped sharply at what they saw around them.

"Aaah!" Ayumi gaped, covering her mouth.

"Holy..." Kiba began, eyes bulging out of his head.

"Shit..." Reina breathed out as her jaw dropped.

"Exclamation mark!" Cyrus finished as his glasses fell off of his face in shock.

"No way...!" Sora gaped in awe.

The group found themselves standing inside of a large hangar in bright light, but that really wasn't what had their attention. More like, WHAT was in the hangar.

Right in front of them.

Standing side by side, each in a hangar, were five colossal (bio-)mechanical robots. Each one taking on the form of current animals: a condor, a bull, a stallion, a lion, and a swan.

 Each one taking on the form of current animals: a condor, a bull, a stallion, a lion, and a swan

"Hero Force..." Katrina's voice announced as she appeared in front of the Zords. "Meet the Paladin Zords." Lights flashed over the large robots in color coded fashion: Red for the condor, black for the bull, blue for the stallion, yellow for the lion, pink for the swan.

"Ayumi. Graceful and smart, the elegant Swan Zord shall be yours." Katrina said, as the giant pink and white Swan let out low-pitched, bugle.

"Oh, it's so beautiful!" The pinkette squealed in happiness.

"Kiba. Clever and brave, you shall command the mighty Lion Zord." Katrina said as the large yellow and black beast let out a powerful roar, which echoed throughout the hangar.

"Whoa!" he yelped, falling onto his back. He then smiled widely. "Oh, you and I are gonna get along greatly!"

"Cyrus. Patient and wise, you shall command the powerful Stallion Zord." The A.I went on as the massive blue horse lifted up on its back hooves with a neigh.

"This is just too incredible to put into words..." The blunette commented, cleaning his glasses.

"Reina. Fearless and agile, the destructive Bull Zord shall be under your command." Katrina said as the massive bovine emitted stream from its nostrils which blew through the girl's hair.

"So, I get you big boy!?" Reina grinned like a little kid. "All right, sweet!"

"And Sora. Noble and courageous, you shall take to the skies with the ferocious Condor Zord." Katrina explained, just before the huge, red bird spread out its glorious wings let out a loud and thunderous screech, similar to an eagle.

"Yeah..." Sora beamed with awe and joy. "I hear you loud and clear, partner."

"Observe the viewing screen." Katrina said, swiping her hand. "Just as the five of you work together, so do your Zords."

The teens turned to the viewing screen, which showed their Zords combining.

"Individually, they are formidable fighting machines, but when merged together, they form the Hero Megazord, the most power Zord ever created by far." Katrina explained, as it was formed.

The five teens looked shocked and surprised

The five teens looked shocked and surprised. "Wow, I can't believe it. We actually get our very own Zords." Cyrus said, trying very hard not to geek out.

"I know, this is just too amazing!" Ayumi agreed in glee.

"When I woke up this morning, I didn't expect this." Kiba said, blowing out air.

"I don't think any of us did..." Reina smirked, leaning on her hip.

"Look on the bright side, guys!" Sora chimed in. "Now, we have giant allies to fight alongside us."


Musutafu City - Construction Site

Somewhere in town, dozens of workers could be seen going about their day, when a small portion of the sky turned an angry end-of-the-world black, blotting out the sun around the area. A chill wind came down onto the site, whipping heavy winds and dust everywhere.

"What the -? What's going on!?" One worker cried out.

"That's odd." A female worked turned to look at her masked sensei, her long pink hair whipping in the strong gale.

"Strange weather we're having, eh?" Another worker broke in as more gathered around at the strange sight.

"What does that have to do with anything?"

"Yeah. The forecast said nothing about it getting all gloomy now!"

"Some kind of Quirk?"

Soon, another phenomenon made itself known in that moment.

The sky began to swirl, like someone would see in a hurricane. Lightning arced over clouds, most of it coming from the eye-like hole that had opened up. The electrical storm began to pick up in intensity and frequency before a bulge of white light pushed at the edges of the hole. It looked like something was about to push its way out. The fact was proven right a moment later when something blasted out of the hole with enough force to shatter numerous windows, even as far away as they were.

The thing crashed into the construction site, sending a cloud of debris screaming outward, as a searing heat blast slammed into pipes with enough force to make them buckle almost immediately.

"What the hell was that!?" A worker screamed out in shock.

"Let's go find out." Another said as before running over to the crash site, with the others following not too far behind.

When the smoke cleared up, it revealed someone laying in a human-sized crater...only it wasn't human, but a robotic scientist with the appearance of an inventor with light red-colored shirt with baggy sleeves under a red-violet vest, a horizontal brown apron with various tools hanging in front of it with metal gloves.

"Ugh, my head!" The robot groaned out in a slightly-high, masculine voice; indicating it was male.

He then stood up and dusted himself off. "Whoo! Who knew passing through an inter-dimensional barrier to get to another universe could be exhausting?" He muttered to himself, before taking in his surroundings. "Speaking of which, where the heck am I?"

The robotic-man brought up his left wrist with a device mounted onto and pressed several buttons. "Hmm, let's see here..." He hummed. "It would appear that I'm in Japan on Earth-67, well a version of it anyway. And it doesn't have Grid Battleforce, interesting but what about... ha... hahahahahahhahahahahahah!!!! And no Power Rangers!!! This is a perfect universe!!!"

Laughing with pure glee, the robot noticed something shining out of the corner of s eye and turned, to see the sun's ray's shooting brightly off several machines nearby. "Oooh..." He perked up, walking out of the crater. "It appears someone left a bunch of perfectly good spare parts lying around. Good enough for a strong Robotron. Haha, this world's in for a real treat! SCROZZLE IS BACK, BABY!"

Meanwhile, the construction workers stopped in their tracks when they saw the old robot walk out of the crater.

"Huh? The heck is that?" One worker questioned, confused by this discovery. "Some kind or metal man?"

"I'm not sure." Another replied, not taking his eyes off Scrozzle. "Hey, who- or what- are you?" He called out.

After hearing that, Scrozzle turned and looked at the construction workers looking at him. "Ah. Humans. I'm the mighty Scrozzle, and soon your world will be my kingdom. So, bow down before me! Tronics, round up!"

The Robot inventor snapped his fingers, and a bunch of figures appeared in a flash behind him. They were humanoid grunts with silver faces and fingers. They had black shoulder plates, gloves and boots with magenta colored suits. And they were armed with a split katar-like weapon.

Upon seeing this, the workers all cried out in fear and took off running as the Tronics chased after them, with Scrozzle cackling in the process.


Command Chamber

Soon an alarm went off inside the room, getting everyone's attention. "What's going on!?" Sora said as he and the others stood up.

"Another attack from Alsatia?" Cyrus assumed.

"If so, I'm ready for Round 2." Reina declared, punching her palm in eagerness.

"No.." Katrina replied, waving her hand in front of her. A hologram screen appeared in front of her as she began typing on it. "That's an inter-dimensional alert."

"A what now?" Ayumi asked, tilting her head in confusion.

"Meaning, it's an alarm system that warns us if anything comes here from another dimension."

Kiba's eyes widened at that. "Holy crap! We have that!?" He exclaimed in shock.

"But, who or what would cause it?" Sora wondered, asking the question on everyone's minds.

Soon a video pulled up and showed where the energy source was coming from. Taking a closer look at where it came from, caused Katrina's eyes to widen. "Wha....why is he here!?" She exclaimed in disbelief.

The Rangers ran up to her side and looked shocked upon seeing who the intruder was. "Wait, is that...?" Cyrus began while pointing.

"That's Scrozzle. An robotic inventor from Earth-616, the same universe as the Power Rangers." The A.I replied in a serious manner.

"What!?" The other Rangers exclaimed upon hearing this.

"Wait, wasn't he imprisoned by the Beast Rangers and a foe of the Dino/Comsic Fury Rangers?" Ayumi spoke, recalling what they learned about some of the villains that the past Rangers faced.

"He was but after being defeated by the latter, he went off the grid for sometime." Katrina said, narrowing her eyes. "Tch."

"Then, what's he doing here in our dimension!?" Reina asked with confusion.

"Well, since he's an inventor...he could've built a multiversal transportation device to come here." Sora guessed with a hum.

"Whatever the case, this isn't good for anyone." Katrina responded, turning to the Rangers with a serious look. "Rangers, get to that location and stop whatever he's planning to do."

"Right!" The Rangers as nodded in unison.

"If that's the case..." Sora began, walking forward.

They all moved and formed a line, from left to right, Reina, Cyrus, Sora, Kiba and Ayumi.

"It's Morphin Time!" Sora shouted as they all raised their armed wrists by their heads.

 The team, in unison, pressed the red Morph button on their morphers, causing them to start glowing red, black, blue, yellow, and pink. They then thrusted their left arms out together. "Call of the Hero!" The team shouted in unison as they pulled their left arms back and used their right hands to spin the Morphers' top half at the same time.


(Morph sequence)

The screen split into five, Ayumi in the top left, Cyrus in the top right, Kiba in the bottom left, Reina in the bottom right, and Sora in the middle. The backgrounds changes to their respective element terrain as their Zords appeared in front of the Rangers. They all flew forward with ease, emerging with their Zords, creating their Ranger suits around them from neck to feet. They all somersault through the air before landing in their positions, then their helmets appeared on them. Then they do their poses as their elements burst behind them.

"It's Hero Time!" they shouted.

(End morph sequence)


They all morphed up and did their fighting poses.

"I never get tried of that." Katrina said, as they stood at ease. "Now go, go Power Rangers!"

The Rangers all touched their Morphers on their arms, and teleported away, ready to fight and defend the city.


Musutafu City - Construction Site

Most of the workers ran away from the swarm of Tronics, as rubble lay on the ground everywhere

"AH!" A female worker screamed.

They all kept running, as some Tronics attacked some, as one worker tripped over.

One Tronic knocked over a male worker with its weapon, when another kicked an female worker in the chest.

A third Tronic kneed a man's chest, then grabbed his arm. A Tronic knocked a bunch of tools off a table as seveal workers stared at them, all sitting down against some rubble.

"Ahahaha! Yes, cower in fear under the might of the Mighty Scrozzle!" Scrozzle laughed, enjoying the terror that the humans were expressing.

"Ah!" they gasped as more Tronics came closer to them.

"Help!" A female said.

"Ah!" A man gasped.

At that moment, laser beams were fired at some of the Tronics, hitting them in the back and knocking them down.

"What!?" Scrozzle uttered, shocked by the sudden attack.

"Hey!" A voice called out.

Hearing the voice, everyone turned to see all five Rangers had shown up and stared at them all, Brave Blasters in hand.

"You tin cans want a fight? You've found one." Sora said, putting his blaster away, before holding his right hand up, his front two fingers up.

"It's those Power Rangers guys!"

"We're saved!"

"R-R-Rangers?!" Scrozzle yelped with wide eyes. "That can't be right! I checked my instruments about information for this universe!" he whined. "You shouldn't exist!"

"Then, it looks like your equipment's out of date because we're right here." Reina snorted, placing her hands on her hips.

"Yeah," Kiba smirked. "We're the Power Rangers of this universe."

Scrozzle started to rage up as he exclaimed, "Curse these darn Rangers! They're everywhere!" He then pointed at the team. "Tronics, get them!"

The robotic grunts then rushed forward as the Rangers split up, each fighting a group of Tronics separately.

Sora dodged past one and then kicked another, Ayumi forward handspringed to avoid one and came across another, while Kiba punched one in the chest. Reina jumped as one tried to tackle her, getting behind it, and kicked it in the head, and Cyrus jumped over one's weapon as it tried to hit him with it, before kicking another in the chest. Sora blocked one's attack and then hit it in the back, Ayumi spun around and kicked another, Kiba punched one in the chest before dodging ones attack, and Reina blocked ones attack before hitting it with her arm.

Sora kicked one in the head, knocking it down then blocked another's attack, before he punched it in the chest a few times. Cyrus jumped over two as they tried to hit him, and then he kicked a third with both feet, knocking it down, before he back flipped in the air before landing on the floor. He then spun around and tackled a fourth, and then blocked an attack from the first two behind him. Kiba rolled forward and then kicked one in the chest, and then threw it over him, then spun his legs around as more surrounded him, then he got up.

Reina kicked one in the hand, then kicked another in the head, then spun around and kicked a third, knocking it away. She blocked another's kick by grabbing its leg, and then flipped it over, then spun around and tackled another, knocking it down.

Ayumi kicked one in the chest, then spun around and knocked another's claw-like blaster to the floor, before elbowing it in the chest. She then waved her hand upright, getting a third to back away from her, then spun around and hit two in the hand with hers, knocking their arms down, before hitting one in the face, and then hit the other one in the face, before doing her fighting pose.

She then turned to more Tronics near other workers. "We'll get you outta here, everybody!" she reassured as she ran towards them all. "Stay clam!"

She then grappled with a Tronic, then rolled along a table with it, kicking another as she rolled off it, then she punched the first's face, knocking it down.

"Back off!" she demanded, grabbing one from behind as it tried to grab someone. She pulled it away, then kicked it as it turned to her, as another grabbed a woman behind her, before she turned and pulled the woman away.

"Whoa!" the woman gasped.

Ayumi kicked the Tronic near her, then turned to another which came towards her, before Cyrus showed up behind it and chopped the back of its neck, knocking it down.

"Thanks, Cy." Ayumi said, holding her thumb up.

"Don't mention it." Cyrus said, doing the same. "Come on, run!"

They both began to run off with the workers either behind or in front of them, leading them away from the fight.

"Everyone, head for the exit!" Ayumi said.

"This way." Cyrus said, stopping and motioning with his hand.

The two ushered people away from the scene as they all kept running.

Seeing the Rangers overpowering his grunts, Scrozzle backed up slowly. "This isn't good." He muttered to himself, before reaching into his pocket and pulled out a key-like item fill slightly with with a green liquid. "What a relief that I had this uploaded with the rest of the Evox virus. Now, we're ready to make a Robotron."

Sora blocked a kick from a Tronic, then spun around and ducked under another's kick, then blocked a kick from a third, before spinning around and kicking the second in the face, knocking it out. He then blocked a punch from a fourth, before hitting it in the face, knocking it down, then he blocked a punch from the first, before punching it himself in the chest. He then ducked under a fifth's punch, before hitting it in the face, knocking it away, as the other Rangers gathered around him.

"Oh, man. Tough crowd." Kiba joked.

"Meh, I got a good workout in," Reina spoke in.

"The civilians here are safe." Ayumi assured, touching Sora's shoulder.

"And the Tronics have been dealt with." Cyrus added.

"It's just you and us, Scrozzle!" Sora said - pointing at the robotic inventor as he did.

Scrozzle scoffed at this arrogantly. "As if! I did not appear in a whole other universe just to be beaten by childen in spandex again!" He shouted, before turning his attention to a bulldozer nearby "Arise!"

He then placed the key into the machine, before it soon began to glow purple. In a burst of light, there stood a orange humanoid bulldozer robot with massive plough like arms.

""Rahahahahahaha! Bulldozertron 2.0 is here to cause some destruction!!"" The Robotron roared in a deep-sounding tone, similar to a gruff male.

The five Rangers looked on in surprise at the machine "Whoa, what the...?" Sora uttered with shock in his tone.

"He...turned that bulldozer into a robot?" Ayumi asked in disbelief.

"THAT IS HARDCORE!" Kiba exclaimed in awe.

"It's way different than seeing it onscreen." Cyrus remarked.

"Now's not the time to be impressed!" Reina scolded them.

"And with that, I'll take my leave." Scrozzle said as he turned and ran off to somewhere safe. "Hasta La Bye-Bye, Rangers!"

"Get back here!" Sora yelled, about to go after him when...

"Going somewhere?" Bulldozertron 2.0 questioned as he stood in front of Sora and punched him in the face, before punching him again, knocking him back across the ground.

"Sora!" Kiba freaked, running in front of him.

"Are you okay!" Ayumi said, worriedly, as they surrounded their friend/leader.

"Yeah. I'm fine." Sora grunted as he stood up. "He's a lot tougher than he looks."

"That's right." The Robotron snorted arrogantly. "You little twerps are no match for Bulldozertron 2.0!"

"Are you sure about that, big guy?" Reina barked. "Cause pretty soon we're gonna bury you."

"Do your worst." Bulldozertron 2.0 growled as he glared at them all.

"I think it's time to break out the hardware." Cyrus told the other Rangers - getting their attention.

"Good call, Cy." Sora agreed. "Let's do it!"

The Rangers then pressed the yellow button together and brought out their weapons.

"Let's send him to the junkyard!" Sora said, pointing his Pyro Saber at Bulldozertron 2.0.

"Yah!" the Rangers yelled.

They all began charging at Bulldozertron 2.0, who shot lasers from his eyes, which hit and created explosions behind them.

"Whoa!" Ayumi yelped, as Kiba jumped over several boards.

Another blast created another explosion behind them.

"Ah!" Reina gritted, as it nearly hit her.

All but Sora and Cyrus jumped up and dived towards Bulldozertron 2.0, who fired more blasts, creating another explosion, before they all landed around him. Reina tried to slash him with her axe, but he blocked it with his forearm, then he knocked her leg down as she tried to kick him. He spun around and hit Kiba's chest with his left bulldozer arm, knocking him down onto his back, then he blocked a strike from Kiba's claws with his right forearm, before he spun around and hit his chest with his left as sparks flew off his suit.

"OH!" he moaned, hitting the ground on her back.

Sora and Cyrus both dove towards Bulldozertron 2.0, who then knocked Sora's saber with his right arm, then blocked Cyrus's lance with his left one. Cyrus spun around and moved away slightly, then ducked as Bulldozertron 2.0 tried to hit him with his arm, as Reina somersaulted sideways and got in front of him. He ducked as she spun around to slash him with her axe then all three Rangers tried to hit him at the same time, hitting his chest armor, which sent a shockwave out at them.

"AHH!" they yelled, twirling around.

They all hit the ground on their backs, as Ayumi jumped in front of Bulldozertron 2.0, landing on one knee.

"I got him!" She said. "Sky Bowgun! Fire!"

She pulled the trigger, and then fired several pink bolts at the robot, who suddenly put his arms together to create a shield that deflected all of the blasts.

"Is that all you got?" Bulldozertron 2.0 laughed once the pink Ranger stopped firing, pulling his arms apart from each other. "I'll show you real firepower!"

He fired a laser from his eyes, which missed Ayumi, but hit the ground behind her, erupting into an explosion.

"AHH!" Ayumi yelled, as the explosion knocked her away. "WHOA!"

She flipped forward and then crashed against a pile of construction equipment, before falling onto her chest.

"Ayu!" Kiba screamed out, as he got up and charged at Bulldozertron 2.0 from his left, who turned to him. He blocked as he ran past him and tried to slash him with his claws, then they turned around to each other, before he tried to slash his chest, but the robot knocked his claws aside.

"What the?" he gasped.

Bulldozertron 2.0 scoffed as he spun around slightly and hit him with his right arm, knocking him against a beam.

"UH!" he moaned, hitting the ground on his chest.

Sora and Reina both charged at Bulldozertron 2.0 , who ducked as Reina tried to slash him with her axe, then he whacked Sora's chest with his arm as Sora ran past him. He then pushed Reina aside as she came at him, then turned as Cyrus came up on his right, then blocked a kick with his arm, then he backed away as Cyrus skidded down to kick his leg, as Reina spun around to tackle him, making them both miss. They both then jumped up and twirled around, Cyrus sending a kick at him, while Reina sent a slash with her axe, but they both missed before landing on their feet.

Reina grabbed Bulldozertron 2.0's right arm, as Sora came up behind him and grabbed his left, before he pushed Reina away over to Cyrus, while freeing himself from Sora. He then fired a blast from his eyes which hit the ground behind Cyrus and Reina, creating an explosion which knocked them up.

"AHHHH!" they yelled.

Cyrus hit the ground on his back, as Reina hit it on her chest.

"Pathetic!" Bulldozertron 2.0 taunted at the fallen Rangers. "If you're this weak, then die!"

"Guys!" Sora cried, who saw it. He then growled as he gripped his saber. "Hey, asshat!"

Bulldozertron 2.0 laughed as he turned to him, then he pushed another bulldozer forward, which raced towards him.

Sora jumped up and ran along the machine's hood and roof, then jumped off it before it hit a wall.

"Whoa!" he yelped, before soaring into the air and kicked Bulldozertron 2.0 in the chest. He kept hia foot on him as he went skidding back, before kicking him repeatedly, before back flipping away as he crashed into a pile of beams.

Sora landed on the ground and lowered his arms as hot flames came up behind him, then he put both hands on the sword while holding it near his head, as as fire engulfed around the blade. "Blazing Condor Slash!" He exclaimed loudly, twisting the sword slightly. He then slashed it downwards, sending the head of a firebird, composed of flames, roaring at the machine. The impact caused a massive explosion on impact, sending a fiery shockwave racing out.

"AHH!" Bulldozertron 2.0 groaned, as sparks came out of him.

"Sora!" Ayumi's voice called as she and the other Rangers ran over to their friend, weapons in hand. "You okay?"

"Yeah." The brunette nodded as they all looked over to see Bulldozertron 2.0 climbing back up to his feet. "Can't say the same for him."

"I've had enough of that piece of scrap!" Reina snarled in anger. "Let's waste him!"

"You heard her guys, let's do it!" Sora ordered.

"Right!" said Cyrus, Kiba and Ayumi.

"Weapons Combine!"

The five weapons flew into the air and as they began to combine together into one super weapon. The Sky Bowgun was faced horizontally as the Savanna Claws launched and connected onto both sides of the Bowgun, facing forward, acting as additional barrels to the cannon. The Sea Lance then connected to the front of the Crossbow's, similar to an arrow. Finally, the Pyro Sword was locked in on top of the cannon, similar to where an arrow would be placed in a crossbow as the Terra Axe connected to the front of the bowgun's handle, with the bottom half facing forward.

"Justice Striker!" They shouted before Sora aimed it at Bulldozertron 2.0, as Reina and Kiba crouched down and held up the end of it, as Cyrus and Ayumi touched Sora's shoulders to hold him in place. 

"Uh-oh!" Bulldozertron 2.0 cried out, getting up.

"Ready!" Ayumi and Reina shouted together.

"Aim!" Kiba and Cyrus shouted together.

"Fire!" Sora shouted, before the Red Ranger pulled the trigger.

He then fired a blast of rainbow-colored energy from the weapon and blazed toward the robot. In a last ditch effort, Bulldozertron 2.0 brought his arms together into a shield as the attack hit with full force as he struggled to hold off the attack, but it wasn't enough as the beam tore right through his self-made defenses and struck him with overwhelming might.

"AHH!" The destructive machine yelled as he was knocked back by the blast, causing him to roll on the ground. 

 The Rangers separated the Justice Striker and took their weapons as they saw their opponent.

 "Oh, come on! He's still alive?!" Kiba gaped in disbelief.

 "I know what you mean. Not only is he pretty strong, but he's also a lot tougher than he looks." Cyrus commented before they heard the bot laughing.

"You damn, Power Parasites..." Bulldozertron 2.0 said breathing heavily from his injuries. "I'm going to make you pay for this!"

"Make us pay? Get real, scrap heap. You look like you can barely stand." Reina insulted the robot with a cocky tone, as she and the Rangers stood together..

"Either way, it's over for you Bulldozertron." Sora told the creature in a stern tone, while pointing his sword pointed at him. "So don't make this any harder on yourself and give up now." He said only infuriating the robot.

"This isn't over until I say so!" Bulldozertron 2.0 argued back as he body became outlined in a green aura. "If you think that's enough to destroy me, think again! I saved the best for last. Beginning download, now!" He shouted out loud much to everyone's shock and horror, before bolting straight to the city.

"He's gonna what?!" Ayumi shouted in surprise.

"We have to stop him before someone gets hurt!" Sora said before quickly taking after the robotic monster.

"H-Hey, wait up!" Cyrus said as he and the others followed right behind him.

Chapter Text


Japan - Musutafu City 

Bulldozertron 2.0 was running into a city block and boiling with rage as he was going to take his anger out on this whole planet.

"Damn those, Rangers! I'm going to make them for humility me!" He said growling in rage before becoming engulfed in a green aura. "Beginning Download now!" He roared without hesitation before not too long, the Robotron felt something strange happening to his body and began to grow in size.

It didn't take too long for the citizens to see Bulldozertron grow into a giant monster, the size of a goddamn mountain and bigger than the city.

Soon he lets out a mighty roar as people panicked in fear while the police were evacuating the people to a safe place. Bulldozetron 2.0 then shot lightning from his eyes into the city which caused more panic to the street.

Japan - Musutafu City 

The Pro Heroes have been attempting to stop the 40-foot robot to no avail. Their attacks have seemingly no effect against him. The notable famous heroes like Death Arms and Kamui Woods were attacking and restraining the giant's legs, yet none of these were effective due to its incredible strength and durability. It was almost impossible to defeat the robotron.

The surrounding heroes and the Law Enforcers were busy evacuating the people from the fight, though it seemed useless due to the fact the giant can simply move to a different location rather easily. Overall, this is going to be the toughest fight the Pro Heroes will experience, especially when there's no All Might to be found.

"What are we going to do!? My punches don't work!" Death Arms shouted while delivering more punches in hopes the Robotron's durability will wear off eventually.

"I don't know!" Kamui Woods answered before swinging towards the monster's head before being slapped by the monster, causing him to crash through a building and land on another building.

"Kamui!" Death Arms shouted worriedly for his fellow hero. "Damn you!"

Bulldozertron 2.0  laughed mischievously, "Aww, look at the little hero. Bye~! Bye~!"

Bulldozertron 2.0  kicked Death Arms through multiple buildings, which'll definitely be a nightmare for the Hero Public Safety Commission to pay for the expenses. He then flicked away the heroes who were bothering him like a mosquito. Some of them were critically injured while others were in a comatose state as a result. He was too powerful for the heroes to be taken on head first without the heavy hitters.

"What should we do...!?" One of the heroes with a broken arm asked.

"I don't know! Our current strongest hitters are knocked out!" The second hero answered before coughing blood.

"Not all of them!" A familiar giantess arrived at the scene and looked up at Bulldozertron 2.0 . "Pick on someone your own size!"

When Mt. Lady used her Quirk, Gigantification, she grew into a gigantic size in hopes to fight Bulldozertron 2.0 and incapacitate him easily, which'll definitely make her more popular for defeating an enemy that veteran Pro Heroes are struggling against. Then, the realisation struck her. She was still smaller than the monster. She looked up, realizing that his size was doubled than hers, which didn't make any sense.

"Wow. It looks like I'm looking down on a child." Bulldozertron 2.0 mocked the Pro Hero before delivering a kick to the face, sending her flying into multiple buildings, which definitely brought more nightmares to the commission.

"Ugh!" Mt. Lady groaned in excruciating pain. Her face was already bruised up and blood was dripping from her forehead. And all of that is caused by a simple kick to her head. 'What kind of a villain is he!?'

"Nothing can take me down now! Not from you, Pro Heroes." Bulldozertron 2.0 declared confidently and proudly. "And certainly not from the Power Rangers!"

"Power Rangers?" Backdraft questioned in confusion before coughing and groaning in pain from his chest. "Is he talking about those vigilantes?"

"You called?" A voice answered as everyone looked and saw the Hero Rangers had all arrived on the scene.

Death Arms' eyes widened in shock. "It's them! T-The vigilantes?! What are you doing is completely against the law! You n-need to leave..." He demanded while holding his broken arm.

"Yeah, I don't think you have any right to say that in your state," Reina snorted lowly.

"No time for that," Cyrus scolded.

"He's right. What do we do?" Ayumi asked in this situation.

"Simple. We need to even up the playing field," Sora said, punching his fist into his palm.

"Wait, you don't mean..." Cyrus said with him and the other Rangers knowing what their leader meant.

"It's Zord time!" Kiba yelled out in excitement, as he and the others were getting pumped in anticipation of their first Zord battle.

"What time would it be to take that thing down," Ayumi said not hiding the bit of excitement in her voice.

"Now we're being fighting on that tin can's level," Reina smirked deviously. 

Nearby listening, the pros watched on in surprise and confusion at what the Rangers were talking about.

"Zords? What the hell are those?" Mount Lady questioned in confusion at the unfamiliar terms. "Are they saying they have a way to fight against that monster and win?" She pondered, her eyes focused on the heroes to see what they would do next.

The Rangers then moved quickly to stand side by side: Sora in the middle, Cyrus on his right and Reina on his left with Kiba was on Reina's right and Ayumi on Cyrus's left.

"Let's do it! Sora commanded with his teammates as they held up their Morphers and sent their respective colors into the sky to open up five gigantic portals of red, black, blue, yellow, and pink.

This made everyone curious on what they were doing. But soon they will find out, because they were going to be in for a big surprise.

"PALADIN ZORDS, COME FORTH!"


Command Center: Zord Hangar

Meanwhile, in the Zord Hangar, The Paladin Zords heard the call right before their eyes lit up. A portal opens up in front of each other as 

The Condor Paladin Zord screeched as it flew through the red portal.

The Bull Paladin Zord then let out a moo and ran through the black portal.

The Stallion Paladin Zord neighed loudly and galloped through the blue portal.

 The Lion Paladin Zord roared fierecly as it ran through the yellow portal. 

The Swan Paladin Zord whisteled as it flew through the pink portal.

Once all Zords were through, the portals all closed up behind them.While they were traveling through the portal, the Zords all let out various roars, screeches, and moos. The Lion Zord in the center, the Bull Zord on the right, the Condor above the Bull Zord. The Stallion Zord on the left side of the Lion Zord, and the Swan Zord swam above the Stallion Zord. The Paladin Zords roared as one upon seeing the end of the tunnel.


Japan - Musutafu City 

Back in the city, five 39-meter gigantic robotic animals appeared out of the portals. Not only were they all huge, but they were probably even taller than Mount Lady herself. 

The Rangers looked in awe at seeing them. "Hey, look! Here they come." Sora said.

"Alright! WHOA!" Kiba shouted in excitement to see the Zords in action. "Go get'em, you guys!"

"Hell yeah!" Reina shouted at them in encouragement.

The sight of the Zords in action only shell shocked everyone from human to supernatural in this universe in awe, as they see massive robotic animals emerge from the portals.

"...what in the world... is going on?" Kamui Woods began to wonder if he was hallucinating right now. There were literal gigantic animals that emerged from out of nowhere.

"What is going on...?" Mt. Lady asked while groaning in pain and suffering from a headache.

"I don't know." Kamui Woods answered before staring at her. "And please shrink already! Your Quirk will worsen in your gigantic state."

"A-Are those... giant robots?" Death Arms asked with a bewildered and stunned expression, as he too was taken back by the Zords' appearance.

"I know we saw them already, but wow." Reina noted.

"Oh, boy!" Kiba squirmed in glee.

"This is amazing." Cyrus said.

"Now, they're here to help us fight." Ayumi said.

"Damn right! Hero Force, let's move!" Sora whooped.

The Rangers all jumped up and landed in their Zords cockpits, surprising everyone that witnessed all of this.

The team each appeared in the cockpits of their zords, that had their Zord symbol on the back, with their respective Ranger color, as well as controls on the left, right and front. 

"Oh, check it out?" Sora said. "These are pretty cool."

"All systems go!" Cyrus shouted.

"These controls are slick." Reina said.

"Dude, I got seat-warmers." Kiba joked.

"Nice stereo!" Ayumi complimented.

Bulldozertron 2.0 laughed nonchalantly, "So you have giant machines, but that doesn't matter!  I'll destroy them all!"

He  then shot energy beams from his eyes, which shot towards the Zords. The blast hit the Zords all other, making sparks come out of them.

"Hey, don't play with fire unless you want to get burned!" Sora said, before pressing a button. "Flame attack!"

The Condor Zord lit up brightly as fire surrounded its entire body.

"Huh?" Bulldozertron 2.0 gasped.

The Condor Zord began flying circles around the Robotron, covering him in fire.

"Ow!" he yelped.

"Check out these turbos, man? I'm fired up." Sora said.

"Bull Zord, take him down!" Reina ordered.

The Bull Zord then caught Bulldozertron 2.0 in it's horns, easily lifted the Robotron of the ground by its arms and toss it across the fake city, as the giant robot landed on the floor hard. Luckily he avoided destroying the building and any citizens.

"Arrah!" The robot grunted out.

"Olé!" Reina cheered.

The robot then pulled itself up, as the Stallion Zord galloped at him with might neigh. "Time to see what this thing can do!" Cyrus announced.

The Zord raised its front hooves first as it smashed them into Bulldozertron's chest, sending sparks flying out the robot's chest.

"AHHH!" He  roared out.

"Alright, let's bring it!" Kiba nodded. "Okay, Big Guy! Let's show em why you're the King of Beasts!"

The Lion Zord roared and jumped up, then pounced on the Bulldozertron pinning it on the ground and began to claw at it's chest.

"Get off me, you overgrown house cat!" Bulldozertron 2.0 exclaimed as he raised its arm and knocked the Zord off him, but it landed on its feet nearby and roared.

A whistle was heared as the Swan Zord came swopping down towards its foe.

"Swan Zord, coming in!" Ayumi shouted.

She pressed a button on her panel, then the Swan Zord lit up brightly, then shot a bunch of feather shaped lasers out of its wings and mouth, hitting Bulldozertron 2.0 all over.

"AHH!" he yelled.

"Whoo! I love these Feather Lasers!" Ayumi whooped.

Everyone could only watch in shock at the robotic creatures beat the metal out of the robotic monster with all of them turning pale white in the process.

"Will they able to win against him?" Backdraft asked curiously.

"I... don't know." Death Arms answered. "If they do, then we're gonna question them about where they come from. They're vigilantes, so we'll have no choice but to stop them."

"Stop them? After seeing that!?" Mount Lady pointed at the giant mechanical vehicles.

"It's the job of a hero." Kamui Woods answered sternly.

Meanwhile, The Paladin Zords all came together, all roaring or screeching as they watch the Robotron slowly rise to his feet.

"It is over, Bulldozetron!" Sora declared. "Surrender now! And we might not destroy you!"

"Yeah, right. I'm gonna bury you Rangers and your little toys, six feet under!" Bulldozetron 2.0 declared. 

"Sounds like fighting words to me." Reina snorted as she rolled her neck.

Cyrus nodded at this. "Right! We need to end this quickly."

"Looks like we're doing this!" Ayumi chirped in agreement.

"Let's get 'er done!" Kiba whooped loudly.

"Time to get give him a fight worth remembering. Ready to bring 'em together." Sora said, placing his hand on a button in front of him.

"Ready!" Reina copied, doing the same.

"Ready!" Cyrus shouted, doing the same.

"Ready!" Kiba said, doing the same.

"Ready!" Ayumi announced, doing the same.

"Do it!" Sora ordered, as they pushed the button in unison.

"Paladin Hero Megazord, power up!" The Rangers shouted all together. "Zords Combine!"


MEGAZORD SEQUENCE

The Paladin Zords all began moving forward, all roaring or screeching in the process.

The Bull Zord mooed before it raised itself up on its back legs, as they changed into humanoid ones, then the tops rose up, forming the legs. The top legs retracted inwards, then the head moved up to the top, froming a torso.

The Stallion Zord came up on its right, while the Lion Zord came up on its left, and retracted into themselves as they attached themselves on either side of it.

The Condor Zord screeched as it flew towards them, then attached itself to the front of the legs, its wings wrapping around the waist. The Swan Zord flew down, with its butt detaching from the rest of it. Its head and wings attached themselves to the back as the butt formed a head with a crown, forming the Paladin Hero Megazord.

The Rangers all sat in the cockpit and stared at Bulldozertron 2.0 - in the front: Sora in the middle, with Reina on his left and Cyrus on his right. In the back: Kiba on the left and Ayumi on the right.

Then, outside of the Ranger's cockpit, the Megazord's ts eyes flashing gold for a brief moment.

"Paladin Hero Megazord!" The five Hero Force Rangers all shouted in sync with Megazord transformation complete, as the Megazord spun into the air to strike a cool pose, before the sun shines brightly behind the Megazord, giving it a epic glow. "Ready to defend!" The Rangers announced proudly out loud.

MEGAZORD SEQUENCE ENDS


The Pro Heroes were stunned, dumbfounded, confounded, bewildered, flabbergasted, astounded, stupefied, dumbstruck, flummoxed, and every other existing synonym due to the bizarre transformation. None of them expected the giant animals to combine into one giant mechanical humanoid. It felt like they're witnessing a child combining the toy parts.

"What the hell...?" Death Arms commented as he was loss for words.

"Oh my God...!" Kamui Woods whispered with wide eyes.

"What is that...?" Backdraft uttered in confusion and curiosity.

"A... giant robot?" Mt. Lady answered, as her eyes were filled with envy due to the massive size of the mecha. Her Quirk was essentially inferior against the monster and the robot.

When Bulldozertron 2.0 saw the Megazord, he was stunned beyond relief. Though he shook his head. "It doesn't matter if you formed together! You're still going to lose!"

"Bring IT ON!" All of them accepted his challenge.

The Paladin Hero Megazord proceeded to run towards Bulldozertron 2.0 with its arms ready to attack. When the village dodged sideways from the Lion Arm, the Megazord spun around 180 degrees and struck the villain with it's Stallion Arm, causing an excruciating amount of pain and damage to its adversary. It then proceeded to bash Bulldozertron 2.0  with both arms in order to deal a ridiculous amount of damage to Bulldozertron 2.0 for a higher chance of ending the fight quickly.

"Take that!" Cyrus and Kiba exclaimed.

Bulldozertron 2.0 eventually blocked and parried the attacks before rolling away from them in order to give himself some space. He then fired lasers from his eyes, delivering a bit of damage to the Megazord before sending it flying by unleashing lightning beams from his forehead.

The Megazord prevented itself from hitting the ground by activating it's wings and soaring into the air after recovering quickly. 

"Oh, you think you're real tough, don't you?!" Bulldozertron 2.0 snarled.

"You're gonna find out!" Reina retorted, holding her fist up.

"Mane Saber!" Sora shouted.

The Stallion Zord's mane then extended from its head and transformed into a bronze saber that glistened into the sunlight.

"Slice!" Ayumi shouted.

The Paladin Hero Megazord then swooped down and slashed Bulldozertron 2.0 across the chest, catching the monster off-guard from the attack. The Megazord then proceeded to fly towards the villain, forming an after-image due to the immense speed. As the Megazord delivered multiple blows in nearly the speed of sound, Bulldozertron 2.0 fell on the ground as he couldn't react on time.

"What's wrong!? Too fast for you!?" Reina asked the villain teasingly.

Bulldozertron 2.0 screamed in despair, "I can't lose to a bunch of humans!"

He quickly got back up almost with no effort and unleashed a barrage of lasers, leaving a series of explosions which destroyed some of the buildings as a result. When he finally ceased fire, he was shot by multiple laser cannons from the right arm. He summoned a shield to block the attacks before unleashing lightning beams from his eyes, which the Megazord rolled sideways to dodge.

"Our turn!" Sora stated as the Rangers moved their levers foward.

The Paladin Hero Megazord charged ahead and then followed up with a reverse spin kick to the face that sent the creature soaring back with a enraged scream, while making the monster feet skid across the ground before stopping in place.

"This is why you don't skip leg day." Cyrus quipped with a grin.

"Yeah!" Ayumi agreed with her own grin.

Bulldozertron 2.0 groaned in pain before kneeling on the ground with one knee, "I... can't... lose... again...!"

"He's getting weak!" Death Arms exclaimed enthusiastically.

"They did it..." Backdraft said.

"No, not yet." Kamui Woods corrected his fellow hero. "It won't end until the villain is definitely defeated. He probably still has tricks up his sleeves."

"We got him on the ropes now! It's time to begin our final attack!" Sora said as this was the perfect time to use their finishing move to end this fight.

"Right!" The other Rangers shouted back in agreement.

[Insert Music: Hero Force - Main Theme ]

The Paladin Hero Megazord held its saber up and then spun it around as golden energy swirled behind it, creating a circle of power. After that, it held up the Hero Saber above its head as it began to charge up golden light with the Hero Force symbol shining behind it.

"Paladin Strike!" The Hero Force Rangers shouted together.

The Paladin Hero Megazord then swung the saber down diagonally and slashed Bulldozertron 2.0 down the chest with all its power.

"Aaaahhhh!" Bulldozertron 2.0 groaned in agony from the pain he was dealt, while holding onto his chest with one arm and the other hand was struggling to reach out like he was asking for help, as blue electricity was generating around the giant's body. "NOOO...WHHHYY!?"

The Robotron soon let's out one last monstrous scream before falling over to the left side of the ground, as he was then engulfed in a massive fiery explosion that send a powerful shockwave throughout the whole area making it shake.

The explosion, of course, knocked everyone off their feet, but once the shockwave and shaking had died down, everyone was shocked by what they saw. There was absolutely no trace of Bulldozertron 2.0 what so ever with them all looked up and their gazes fell on the Megazord standing at ease.

Back in the Megazord, the Rangers were also celebrating their victory over their first Megazord battle.

"All right!" Ayumi shouted in happiness.

"Whoohoo!" Kiba exclaimed while throwing his fist in the air.

"Best day ever." Reina said with a little enthusiasm in her voice, as she enjoyed her first Megazord battle.

"That has got to be the most coolest thing we've ever done!" Cyrus said, leaning back in his seat.

"Hero Rangers, victory is ours!" Sora said, looking back at his team and a grin planted on his face.


In Space - Alsatia's Ship

"Interesting..." Alsatia mumbled as she watched the Rangers encounter Scrozzle, to their battle and victory over Bulldozertron 2.0 with their combined weapon, to the Robotron growing gigantic and the Rangers summoning their Zords and combining them into the Paladin Hero Megazord to defeat their foe. "So that's what caused that rift in space..."

"WHAT?! You've got to be kidding me!! THEY had that kind of POWER?!?!" Igeron exclaimed in shock, gazing at the screen with wide eyes.

"That robot came from another universe entirely. Such things shouldn't be simple." Ernesh hummed with narrowed eyes.

"Yet this, 'Scrozzle' character was only able to do it... but also create a being that nearly put the Rangers on defense." The alien woman mused, placing a hand on her chin. "Perhaps he could provide us with some other-worldly knowledge."

Ernesh stood up straight as he looked over at his Queen. "What are your orders?"

"Bring him to me at once, Ernesh" said Alsatia, without looking at her Commander. "I plan to make good use of him."

"Consider it done." Ernesh bowed slightly before taking his leave out of the room.

Igeron merely watched on, clenching his fists in silence.

"Something on your mind, Igeron?" Alsatia questioned, not even looking to see his expression.

"My lady, with all due respect... why!?" The centaur creature inquired. "Why send Ernesh of all people? He hasn't been on the battlefield for over 10,000 years!"

"Because he does not gloat or crave personal glory, he's an pragmatic soldier at heart, something you are not and he does not underestimate his enemies, something like you did with these mysterious warriors."

"But, your Grace, I-"

"You are dismissed." Alsatia simply said, waving him off.

Shocked at the dismissal, Igeron leaves the throne room without a word, as Alsatia then walked over to her throne and sat down as she stroked the arm of it. "Things are about to get interesting," she said.


"Rrraah!" Igeron roared as he punched the wall, leaving a massive dent within it. "I can't believe that after failing just ONE mission, I'm stuck on the sidelines while that overgrown furball gets picked by her Grace to go on missions. I need to find some way to redeem myself... But how... HOW!?"

"Those five humans...." Said Igeron as he started to think back to the Rangers and how they humiliated him in front of his queen, then suddenly he could hear the laugher all around him as he hears the Rangers mocking him.

"What a weakling!"

"Yeah, and HE's one of Alsatia's right hand men."

"Couldn't even stop us when he had the chance."

"That's just sad, Hahaha."

"No wonder, he's just that pathetic, haha!"

"Silence!" Shouted Igeron as the hallucinations started to laugh even louder. "I SAID SILENCE!!! I AM IGERON!!!" But the laughter kept on going and going until Igeron started to scream as if he was going insane from losing his victory by the Rangers"Mark my words, I SHALL HAVE MY REVENGE!!!!!"

To Be Continued...

 

 

Notes:

Well, that's that. Hope you guys enjoyed the first Megazord fight It was almost troublesome, but I hoped that I managed to execute it in the end. I apologise if the Megazord battle was too short for some of you, but let's face it, some of the Megazord fights in Power Ranger seasons were quick

Anyway, what do you guys think of other MHA charactters becoming Power Rangers? Or should it just be the Hero Rangers? I had a few candidates in mind, but I want to hear your opinions on the matter!

Leave a review or PM me your thoughts on the story so far!

Stay tuned for the next chapter.

Chapter 8: Chapter 7- A Terrifying Alliance!

New chapter for you guys! Enjoy!

Chapter Text


Somewhere in the city

Taking refuge within an abandoned building, Scrozzle leaned against the wall as he took deep breaths to calm himself.

"Darn it!" He exhaled, slamming his fist against the wall. "That was too close for comfort! I escaped a world of Rangers, only to end up in another universe with them, too!? It's like they're everywhere!"

"So, you're from another universe."

The robot inventor jumped at an unknown voice as he became alert. He practically jumped from the wall and looked around. "Who's there!?" He exclaimed.

As if to answer his question, a purple beam shot down and landed in front of Scrozzle. Once the beam died down, his green, glowing eyes widened slightly upon seeing a large, muscular white creature staring him down in an intimidating way.

"W-Wh...Who are you?" Scrozzle questioned, a hint of fear in his tone.

"Who I am is of no importance..." The alien creature sneered lowly. "It is my Queen who seeks you."

Scrozzle looked on in surprise as he and the unknown stranger stared each other down.

Musutafu, Japan - Afternoon

Back in the Megazord, the Rangers were also celebrating their victory over their first Megazord battle.

"All right!" Ayumi shouted in happiness.

"Whoohoo!" Kiba exclaimed while throwing his fist in the air.

"Best day ever." Reina said with a little enthusiasm in her voice, as she enjoyed her first Megazord battle.

"That has got to be the most coolest thing we've ever done!" Cyrus said, leaning back in his seat.

"Hero Rangers, victory is ours." Sora said, looking back at his team and a grin planted on his face. "What do you guys say we go check on the city and see if anyone needs help?"

"Right!" They all said to their leader, as they all raised their fists in agreement.

Soon after, the Rangers left the Megazord's cockpit as they jumped down and landed on the ground, super hero style, in front of everyone. After a few seconds, they climbed back up to their feet.

The Paladin Hero Megazord suddenly began glowing in a bright light before fading into sparkles, returning back to the Zord Hangar.

"Hey! Where'd it go?!" Mount Lady said looking around for the giant robot. "It was just there a minute ago!" 

"It seems that our new "friends" have a way of covering their tracks." Backdraft commented as he and the other Pros  were now curious to know more about these heroes.

"All the more reason we should bring them in for questioning!" Death Arms declared as he climbed to his feet. "Like, who are they? Where did they come from? What agency are they in? How did they acquire those gigantic robots?"

"Yeah! Especially when they're bigger than me!" Mt. Lady pouted while wincing in pain due to the bruises on her face being treated right now. She then stood up and decided to confront the heroes herself. "I'm going to ask them myself!"

"So, that's your reason..." Kamui Woods sighed in disappointment. 

"I wonder what happened to the monster." Backdraft pointed out curiously. "Did those heroes kill him?"

"If so, then they'll have to be punished for killing him. They weren't in a serious situation where they had no choice but to execute a villain." Death Arms answered and he marched over to the Rangers with the others behind him. "Hey!"

Hearing this, the teens all turn to see the Pro heroes giving them dangerous glares with Death Arms, Kamui Wood, and Backdraft leading the charge. They could all feel the tension in the air as the heroes slowly walked towards them with a serious look in all their eyes.

"Oh great..." Reina grumbled in annoyance.

 "Oh, hey!" Kiba waved in a casual manner. "No need to thank us. It's what we do." 

 Death Arms looked as if the Yellow Ranger grew a second head. "'Thank you'? Do you have any what you five have done?" 

"Uh, helped take down a giant robot and saved everyone?" Cyrus inquired.

"Yeah, I don't see anything wrong with that." Ayumi agreed with a hand on her hip.

"You all have caused enough trouble for a while and your vigilantism ends here." Kamui Wood said as tree roots grew out of his hands to capture the five.

"That's right! There was absolutely no reason to put yourselves in danger like that!" Death Arms said to them.

"Wait, what?" Sora asked, narrowing his eyes at this.

 Reina stepped forward. "Hey, you guys would've died if we didn't show up and saved your asses from the giant robot monster." She snarled.

 "That's right!" Kiba did his best to try and deepen his voice so that he could sound older. "We're Heroes with Attitude."

Silence filled the area as everyone to look at him with deadpanned expressions. 'Really...?'

 "Did you seriously just talk in a deep voice because you thought you'd sound more mature?" Mt. Lady asked with a deadpan expression. 

 "...What were we talking about?" Kiba uttered out, causing the other Rangers facepalmed their visors in response to what Kiba just did and said. 

"Now listen. You five are coming with me for questioning. As well as telling us about those giant robots. I don't know where you got something like that, but having them in your hands is asking for trouble. Now come with us." Kamui woods stated sternly.

 Sora dropped his hand and faced the pros. "Look, we don't want any trouble and we're not looking to start a fight after what we've been through. If you still don't want us here, my friends and I are gonna leave so you can get back to doing what you do best."

"Kid, we're trying to be nice here. What you say might have been true, but it was still a criminal act and the fact that you all illegally used your quirks to harm the villains. Now, things will go a lot smoother if you just turn yourselves in."

For a brief second, the Rangers raised eyebrows in confusion. "Who said we had Quirks?" Reina said to him, which confused the pros.

"What?" Backdraft asked in confusion.

"I hate to disappoint you, but none of us have Quirks," Kiba said shocking the adults.

Five unknown vigilantes defeated villains without powers? That was completely unheard of in the superhuman society.

"Since we're quirkless, we didn't break any laws. So you can't punish us for anything." Sora said as he turned around and walked away "We'll be on our way now."

The other Rangers then followed afterwards when...

"Hey." Mount Lady reached out to them. "Regardless, you still have to come in for questioning."

"I'm sorry, but it's still no..."

"I see..." Kamui Woods said as tree roots grew out of his hands once more. "Guess we're doing this the hard way."

The roots then launched out right at the retreating Rangers....only for them to teleport away before the roots could even touch them.

"W-W-What the? Where'd they go?" Mount Lady asked, seeing none of the Rangers in sight.

"Damn..." Death Arms swore in frustration. "So, they can teleport."

"If that's true, then apprehending them is going to be a lot harder than I thought." Kamui woods sighed.

Kids who go out trying to be vigilanties without the proper training will get themselves killed. It's something he's seen one too many times in his line of work. Those kids' intentions may seem well but they had no idea what they were getting into. While they somehow were able to stop those odd villains from before and the bulldozer robot, that would be nothing compared to facing a professional villain and ending up dead.

And that was something no Pro-Hero will stand for.


Command Chamber

The Rangers teleported back to the Command Chamber as they appeared in the center of the room.

"Power Down!" The team said as their Ranger suits suddenly vanished, reverting them back into their civilian clothes.

"Oh, man. That was really stressful." Kiba groaned, leaning on a nearby panel. "Looks like we're going to be hunted by the pros while we keep Alsatia and her forces at bay. Man.... I thought it was going to be easy."

"Not to mention, Scrozzle being here makes things even worse." Cyrus breathed out as he took off his glasses to wipe them.

"He took off while we were fighting his machine." Sora told them. "He could be anywhere in the city by now."

Reina pinched her eyes in annoyance. "Considering how smart he is, he's probably gonna try to do the same crap he did before."

"Not to mention he has data on the other Power Rangers and all the monsters they faced." Ayumi added in.

"Which is a big problem if he ever joins Alsatia's forces, if they ever- Ahh, I was about to jinx us, wasn't I?" Cyrus chuckled slightly.

"Hopefully, it won't come to that." Sora spoke up as he folded his arms. "Otherwise, we're gonna have more trouble on our hands."

"Sora is correct." Katrina replied as she appeared in front of them. "If Alsatia finds Scrozzle, then she'll have the entire knowledge of the Power Rangers. You five must find him before that madwoman does."

"Even if that's the case, how would you even go about it?" Aymui questioned, folding her arms under her chest. "It's not like we have a phone number or app that we can just pass out."

"Phone number...app...?" Cyrus muttered over, until his eyes widened in glee. "I got it!"

Everyone looked over at him, surprised by his sudden outburst. "Got what?" Sora questioned, curious by his friend's words.

"A way for us to get the word out!" Cyrus replied, turning around to look at the group. "We can create an app that could automatically notify us of any alien attacks that Alsatia tries to send into the city. We'll call it...the 'Ranger Danger' App!"

Reina snorted amusingly at the name. "Ranger Danger? You're such a nerd."

"I like it." Kiba shrugged loosely.

"Mmm, me too." Ayumi nodded with a smile. "It's simple and straightforward."

Sora laughed a bit at his friends. "Sounds like a plan." He declared, before looking at Katrina. "Do you think you can help with this, Kat?"

“Even though the Ranger Danger App does sound like a great idea, I’m afraid I won’t be much help in its creation." The A.I said with a headshake. "I can handle creating Ranger technology just fine, but creating apps for a smartphone is beyond me. I’m sorry, everyone.”

Cyrus waved off her concern. “That’s ok, Katrina! You don’t have to apologize for anything! Since I’m the one who came up with the idea for the app, it’s only fair that I can handle creating it.” He said with conviction, surprising everyone.

“By yourself?” Reina questioned, already knowing the answer.

“Are you sure you can do that, bro?” Kiba asked his friend, taking a step forward. "Not that I doubting you or anything..."

The blue Ranger took a deep breath before replying with, “I think I can manage." He smiled. "Shouldn't take me more than about a few months to create. Give or take. Plus, I've looked into the Ranger Database and saw that the Dino Fury Rangers had a hotline that people could use to report those Sporix creatures. That'll come in handy as well."

Sora smiled as he answered, "Alright. We'll leave it to you."

"Agreed." Katrina replied in reponse. "But for now you must rest. We'll continue your training tomorrow."

Agreeing with the A.I's words, the Rangers all nodded before grabbing their things and heading for the exit.


In Space - Alsatia's Ship

A purple beam appeared in the middle of the throne room, before Scrozzle was seen flying out of it.

"Ahhh!" Scrozzle cried as he hit the ground. He put a hand to his face, instinctively rubbing away the pain, before glaring back at Ernesh.

"Who do you think you are!?" He shouted angrily, climbing up to his feet. "I am the Mighty Scrozzle, genius scientist, and I will not have you-!" He was interrupted by his speech when Ernesh summoned a double edge hollow-ground blade flaring at the end of the half-moon shaped tip and pointed at his face.

"Mind your words, wretched machine." The alien warrior sneered. "For you stand in the presence of The Great One herself. Lady Alsatia, High Queen of this universe!"

"Now, now, Ernesh." Alsatia's voice came from the throne as Scrozzle turned to see it spin around, revealing said Queen sitting in it with one leg over the other. "No need for that. He is a guest after all." She then turned her eyes on Scrozzle. "So, you must be Scrozzle."

"That I am." Scrozzle spoke, feeling the pressure from the woman's presence. "And you must be Queen Alsatia."

"Indeed, I am. " The other-worldly woman smirked before gesturing to Igeron. " And this is Igeron, one of my generals." The other-worldly woman smirked before gesturing to Ernesh. "You'll have to forgive my top general's sudden approach. He's known throughout the galaxy for his aggressive tactics."

Igeron couldn't help but clench his fists in anger and narrow his eyes after hearing Alsatia call Ernesh her "top general".

"Believe, I'm well aware." Scrozzle snorted, ignoring the death glare Ernesh sent him. "But, might I ask, what exactly do you want from me?"

"Well, I suppose you could say that I was impressed by what I saw today." Alsatia responded, running her fingers over her staff. "Not only by the way you instantly created a robot from a human machine, but it is also able to match the Rangers in both strength and power."

"You flatter me, your Highness. But that's nothing compared to what I can truly do." Scrozzle boasted. "And it's most definitely not my first tussle with Power Rangers. I swear, it's like they're everywhere! If I could get rid of at least one team of those brats, that would make things so much easier!"

"Oh?" Alsatia asked, perking up at this. ""But that would make things less interesting and fun, wouldn't it?"

"W-what?" Scrozzle looks confused. "What do you mean?"

Alsatia brushed a lock out of her face. "In all my years of conquest and cleansing, those I've come across weren't strong enough or too weak to be a challenge for me. For a time, I became bored with them so I sent Ernesh and Igeron against them. Yet, it wasn't until I saw the Rangers fought firsthand that I found the perfect foes to entertain me, if you will." She told him. "And now that I know you have much experience with them, I've come up with a proposition for you."

"What kind of proposition?"

"Join me..." Alsatia replied, holding out her hand. "Create more powerful soldiers for my empire and in return, I'll provide you soldiers of your very own to command and help protect you against the Power Rangers... So what will it be? Join me? Or be defeated yet again by the Power Rangers..."

Scrozzle hummed at this. "Ooh, I like the sound of that. But I'm afraid that creating more Robotrons like Bulldozer 2.0 is going to be impossible."

Alsatia raised an eyebrow. "Is that so?"

"You see... creating him used ALL of the Morph-X and the Evox virus in my Robotron Creation Key. Since this universe doesn't have access to any Morph-X, I can no longer create any more Robotrons to help you destroy the Rangers."

Ernesh growled at Scrozzle menacingly as he got closer and brought his sword-axe to the robot's neck.

"Pathetic robot!" Igeron snorted loudly. "I say we toss this worthless trash out-" He was then cut off by Scrozzle's response.

"B-but I know another way I could make more!"

This catches Alsatia's attention, she raises her hand to signal Ernesh and Igeron to stop. "Please elaborate on this other way to create more soldiers."

"With this, your Grace." Scrozzle said as he reached into his pocket to pull out a red hard drive.

"What is that?"

"Why, it's a copy of the Legendary Ranger database which contains EVERYTHING about the Power Rangers and the enemies they have ever fought, and with enough time and resources, I can create a Reanimizer, a device that allows me to revive these same enemies to aid your cause, your Highness." Scrozzle responded with a small bow.

"Hmmm." Alsatia mused. "Interesting, that could be in my favor. You'll have access to my laboratories where you'll work on this device. Igeron, escort our recruit to where he will work."

"As you wish." The alien centaur bowed his head slightly before rising back up. He then looked at Scrozzle. "Follow me, recruit. Now."

"But of course." Scrozzle nodded, before bowing to Alsatia. "I will not fail you, your Highness."

"See that you don't." Alsatia retorted, her eyes glowing immensely as she watched the duo leave the room.


Alsatia's Ship - Lab

Within moments, Igeron and Scrozzle had arrived in a room that was a mixture of a scientific laboratory and a chamber. There were several tables covered with scientific equipment, a screen on the wall, and a crash test dummy standing idly in the far end of the room, far away from everything else in the room.

"Ooooh!" Scrozzle said in awe by the sight as he walked in. "Now, this is a place I can work!"

"You must be really smart if you are capable of building this 'Reanimizer'." Igeron said as he stepped in behind the robotics inventor.

Scrozzle scoffed at this. "Oh please. I'm one of the greatest geniuses and investors where I come from. I can create anything from robotic foot soldiers who will do my every bidding to even giant machines capable of decimating cities."

"I see..." Igeron uttered as his voice got dangerously slow. "Then, that makes this all the more perfect for me."

Confused, Scrozzle turned around to face the centaur. "What do you me-UGH!" The inventor was cut off after being grabbed by the neck and pinned to the wall by Igeron.

"Listen well, you mechanical ingrate!" The centaur snarled in rage. "I want you to create armor and a weapon strong enough for me to destroy those damn humans! Because of them, the Queen doesn't think I'm worth being at her side! So, in order to redeem myself, I need to be even more powerful to crush them!"

"Yo.. U... Ca... Can't.. Do th.. This!?" Scrozzle wheezed out as Igeron squeeze his neck even harder as sparks started to come out.

"I can and I will! You will create the armor; Otherwise, I'm going to make sure you end up missing a LOT of parts! Are we clear!?"

"Okay, okay! I'll see what I can do!" Scrozzle replied, trying to get out of the alien's grip. "But you have to understand, they might have some serious side effects. Both mentally and physically."

Igeron snorted at this. "I could care less, I will do whatever it takes to destroy the Rangers once and for all. They will pay for what they've done to me... have them be done at the end of this cycle..."The alien centaur dropped the mechanical scientist as he trotted out of the room.

Scrozzle stood to his feet and rubbed his neck as the door closed. "Foul creature, that one. Even worse than those annoying avatar and robotic clone brats."

Shaking his head of distraction, the robot turned back to the equipment in front of him. "Oh, well. Might as well get started." He said, making his way over to it.


 The news channel is currently talking about the fight between a gigantic villain and a gigantic robot earlier as everyone across Japan was watching.

The female reporter began speaking, "Earlier this afternoon, a humongous villain that resembled an appearance of a bulldozer terrorised the City of Musutafu. The Pro Heroes around the area attempted to stop the rampaging villain, but they proved to be no match for him. The rookie hero known as Mt. Lady attempted to stop him as well with her Quirk, but it turns out she was still relatively smaller than the said villain. All hope seemed lost until the group, knowns as the 'Power Rangers'  piloted these humongous mechanised vehicles and stopped the villain by somehow combining together to form a humanoid appearance. The city was saved thanks to these mysterious heroes. Now it's time to let the recovering Pro Heroes explain from their perspective." 

"I don't know how to describe it. These heroes suddenly appeared out of nowhere and jumped into those... I believe they called them Zords." Kamui Woods explained calmly. "I don't know who they are, but apparently...they claimed to be Quirkless."

"While they were able to defeat the villain, they shouldn't break the law." Death Arms said. "Since they're vigilantes, I'm going to do everything in my power to stop them. It doesn't matter if they have good intentions."

"It's unfair! Why is it so unfair!? Why is my Quirk so short!?" Mt. Lady pouted, feeling inferior that her Quirk is essentially useless against the villain. "And why those u-!?"

Kamui Woods covered her mouth immediately, "That's all for today. We'll get going now."

"Oh, okay." The reporter was stunned from the action before looking back at the camera. "Back to these mysterious heroes, it seemed that there's more to them than meets the eye. If you're listening, Power Rangers, please contact us to have an exclusive interview about the fight as well as the story behind your giant mechanised robots." The reporter said. "And that's all, everyone."

To Be Continued...

 

Notes:

And there ends another chapter! Hope you guys liked it, even if it felt kinda short. Anyhow, with Envox and Lord Zedd gone, Scrozzle has teamed up with Alsatia and her galatic forces. You'll see how that plays out.

On the other hands, Cyrus has decided to put his brain to use and create a Ranger app, while adding in the Ranger hotline from Dino Fury. (Tbh, I got the idea for a Ranger App from Ganke in Marvel Miles Morales and Spiderman 2) What do you guys think?

Leave a review or PM me your thoughts and opinions...or ideas in general, I'm open for that

See you all in the next chapter!

(Several Months later...)

Command Chamber - Morning 

"What do you guys think Katrina called us in for?" Reina asked, as she and her friends stood in the center of the Command Chamber.

The Hero Force Rangers had all improved in the past several months. The boys' muscles had improved to the point that they had toned developed bodies with a six pack, muscles, and abs. The girls' bodies didn't grow that much from the boys, but they had a little bit of toned muscles.

Sure it was tough...and painful. But in the end, the results were rewarding.

Another surprising thing was that ever since their Megazord fight with Bulldozertron, the Rangers had risen into popularity and gained more attention, both in good and bad ways. Many were angry at them for their vigilante acts, but there were also a lot of people who praised them for what they were doing. What was most shocking about this was that when society found out they were Quirkless, most who believed that Quirkless weren't capable of being heroes were shocked and dumbfounded that such a thing was possible. As for those that don't have Quirks, they saw the Rangers as proof that people don't need Quirks to be heroes.

Since that day, tons of people were walking around wearing simple black T-shirts with the Red, Black, Blue, Yellow, or Pink Ranger helmets, and their team logo on the front, while on the back were words 'Hero Force', 'Power Rangers', and 'Quirkless Heroes', in bright colors, and people holding up picket sign with the same writing.

The crowd was mostly of those who were quirkless as they were clearly showing their encouragement.

"Don't know. All she said was that she wanted us to meet here." Ayumi said, looking around for the A.I.

"Maybe it's something important?" Cyrus questioned.

"Smart as usual, Cyrus." Katrina's voice spoke out, surprising the teen. "Hello, Rangers."

"Katrina? What's going on? Has there been an attack or something?" Sora asked out, stepping forward.

"No, no. Nothing like that. As you know, these past months haven't been easy, but you all have overcome the challenges and grew better than I could ever imagine." Katrina said with a proud smile.

"Aw, shucks." Kiba smiled, rubbing his nose.

"I've noticed how much work you all have put into your training, so I thought it would be a good time to give you five something as proof for all of your hard work, courage, perseverance, and determination." She said before snapping her fingers.

Then, out of nowhere, five black brief cases with a lighting bolt symbol on them appeared in front of each teen.

"What are these?" Kiba asked with a raised brow.

"Your team uniforms." Katrina said as this got the Rangers' attention. "Heroes nowadays have their own taste in clothing, but I would rather have my Rangers save the world in style. I took into account all measurements and heights, so they should fix you both well without any difficulty."

Looking at each other with smiles, the Rangers all opened up their suitcases to see a mostly black combat outfit (black combat pants for the boys and black shorts for the girls) and black boots with their respective color in stripes on the arms, legs and a pair near the neck with being connected to the silver symbol on the chest, with Sora's being red, Reina's being purple, Cyrus' being blue, Kiba's being yellow, and Ayumi's being pink.

"This looks amazing, Katrina! Thanks!" Sora spoke with a grin.

"I'm going to look so badass! Thanks, Kat!" Kiba laughed full-heartedly.

"Thank you for the gift, Katrina. It means a lot." Cyrus bowed his head in gratitude.

"Black with a hint of purple, my types of colors. Thank you, Katrina." Reina smiled warmly.

"Thank you, Katrina, you rock!" Ayumi squealed, hugging her suitcase.

"Looks like we formed a strong Ranger team." Cyrus said with pride.

"This should keep the villains and Alsatia on their toes!" Reina stated excitedly.

"Right!" Sora nodded with a smile. He turned to his friends, who all nodded in agreement.

"You're more than welcome." Katrina said to them Katrina smiled at them. "Now that you have completed your training, it is time. Go forth, Power Rangers Hero Force. Everyone is waiting."

"Hell yeah!" Reina cheered as she raised a fist. "Let's go kick some ass!"

"YEAH!"


U.A High School Front Entrance - Morning

The Hero Force Rangers met up at the train station as planned and took a short ride, since U.A. was a good distance away from where they lived. As soon as the train stopped, the five of them made their way down the street, they noticed that there were more students walking beside them.

"Look at all these people." Sora said looking at all the students. "You think they're trying out for U.A.?"

"That's what it looks like." Reina said to him. There were a lot of students. "U.A. is the number one best Hero course school in the country, so it wouldn't be surprising to see this many people here to apply."

"Makes sense, but I feel bad for the ones who won't make it in. U.A. is said to have a 7% pass rate and some are lucky enough to end up in the Hero course." Cyrus told them with a pensive look on his face.

"Yeah, it would be pretty bad not getting into the school you wanted." Ayumi said, understanding what he meant.

"That's life for you. There's nothing you can do but to make sure you all pass." Kiba shrugged.

The Rangers started to see a giant building in the distance. It was U.A. High school. The school looked more impressive up close than it did in the pictures. They really don't capture the sheer size of the place. Seriously, it's huge. And it's impressive to look at, with head busts of old heroes & decorations made that it clear that no yen was spared in making the school.

"Well, this is it. You guys ready for this?" Sora asked his friends.

"You know it." Kiba said while rolling his neck.

"Y-Yes." Cyrus nodded with a determined smile.

"Like you need to ask." Reina said with a cocky grin.

"Let's ace this exam!" Ayumi shouted, raising a fist in the air.

"Ooof!" Something suddenly collided into Sora's back, crying out in a whimper.

"Huh?" Sora and the others all turned around and found themselves looking down at a green-haired teenager around their age sprawled on the orange-brick pathway, the expressions on his round face twisted with a pained grimace. Parallel to the pair, several students walked towards the marble stairs at the base of the building, either ignoring them or snickering at the fallen green-haired boy.

"Oh! Here, let me help you up." Ayumi offered her hand to the frail-looking teenager, who had begun to tremble on the ground. The green-haired boy trepidatiously considered Ayumi's offered hand for a brief moment, before taking it. The pinkette gently pulled him up and waited as the boy patted down his black coat for dust.

"Hey, are you okay?" Sora asked, walking up to his friend's side. "Sorry about that."

"You shouldn't be the one to apologize - I am so sorry for running into you!" The green-haired boy suddenly burst out, bowing deeply towards Sora. "I was rushing and wasn't paying attention to my surroundings. I should have been more careful. I'm so very sorry to have disturbed you!"

Sora was slightly taken aback by the boy's nervous ramble, but Ayumi provided him a reassuring smile. "It's okay. You don't have to worry about it. Are you okay though? For a moment, it looked like you were in a great deal of pain. You still kinda do."

"Oh-ah, please-ah, don't-don't worry, I'm fine," The boy timidly looked down at the ground, his body still shaking. He looked over at Sora. "Besides, I've-um, I've taken much worse. I will admit though, your back is like...it's like I ran into a wall of titanium. You must be really strong."

"Hehe, I guess you can say that." Sora laughed, rubbing his head. "I'm Sora Ukashi. And these are my friends."

"Ayumi Suzuni. It's a pleasure!" The pinkette introduced with a cute smile.

"Kiba Mason. Nice to meet you, Freckles!" The blonde greeted, folded his arms. 

"F-Freckles?" The boy seemed taken back by the nickname.

Reina hits the blonde in the back of the head and says. "Sorry for him, he has an ass for a brain. Name's Reina Fukukado."

"And I'm Cyrus Hado." The bluentte stuck out a hand to the boy. "It's nice to meet you."

"Oh, I'm Izuku Midoriya." The green-haired boy said, shaking Cyrus's hand. "It's a pleasure to meet you to-" He was cut off as the bluenette's eyes lit up in realization.

"Hey, wait! I know you!" Cyrus gaped loudly, pointing at them. "You're the guy from the Sludge Villain Incident a year ago!"

The group was surprised by this sudden info. Apparently, some kid was taken hostage by a sludge villain and because of the situation, none of the Pros there could do a thing about. That was until another kid ran unto the scene and tried to rescue the other boy from danger. After that, All Might made an appearance and not only saved the two boys, but also beat the villain with a one punch that changed the weather.

"Holy crap, it is him." Sora said with surprise. "Man, that was pretty crazy!"

Izuku was shocked to hear that some people still remembered that day, so he was quick to reply but couldn't "N-no, i-i-it w-w-was n-n-nothing I just c-c-c-couldn't stand there..."

"Yeah, that was very brave of what you did," commented Ayumi brightly.

"Pretty ballsy if you ask me." Reina said, leaning on her hip.

"You have my utmost respect!" Kiba said, hitting his fist to his chest. "Bro-spect!"

"T-Thanks, I guess." Izuku uttered out from the praise, not believing that some people still remembered that day. He then decided to change up the conversation. "A-Anyways, I'm guessing you all are taking the Entrance Exam today to enter U.A too?"

"Yep, all five of us." Cyrus nodded, and gestured to the Izuku. "I assume you are too?"

"Yeah, I a-!"

"Stupid Deku."

Izuku was cut off when they all heard an unpleasant voice as everyone turned to where it was.

A teenager with ash-blonde hair and red eyes, dressed in a similar attire to Izuku himself. The teenager had a deep scowl across his face as he glared at the group.

"Hey, isn't that the guy you tried to save?" Kiba asked Izuku, remembering the boy from the news.

At the sight of the ash-blonde boy, Izuku flinched in surprise, taking a slight step back. Sora frowned. From their uniforms, it was quite clear that the two went to the same junior high. However, from the startled look on Izuku's face, it appeared that the green-haired boy was intimidated by the glowering red-eyed teenager.

"Didn't you hear what I say? Get out of my way or I'll blast you myself!" The aforementioned teenager threatened.

"Oh, ah, sorry Kacchan. I'll just-uh-here you go." Izuku said nervously, stepping to the side.

"I can't believe you're actually going through with this. You should just save yourself the disappointment and get out while you still have a chance. Someone like you has no place at this school, Deku." The boy known as "Kacchan" quickly brushed past them, not even acknowledging the Rangers.

'There it is again. Deku. I thought his name was Izuku? Must be a nickname.' Sora thought with narrowed eyes.

Ayumi looked displeased. "Hey, if you're gonna be a hero, maybe don't say things like that to people."

Kacchan stopped in his tracks, and looked back at the pink-haired girl. "Who the hell asked you?"

"Watch it, punk." Reina warned, stepping up. "I don't give a damn who you are. Talk to her that way again, and I'll make sure your relationship with the ground is intimate."

"And why should I listen to some random extra?" The ash-blonde growled with a death glare. "Get out of my damn sight before you get blown up too!"

"Why don't you put your money where your mouth is?" Reina said, preparing for a fight. "Then again, that's big talk coming from a guy who got captured by a lame ass villain." Reina smirked with a snort.

The ash-blonde face contorted into one of pure rage. "WHAT WAS THAT, YOU BITCH!?" He yelled, explosions popping in his hands.

Ayumi, Izuku and Cyrus watched nervously as the tension in the air grew thick around them. Students who were still coming into the schoolyard stopped and watched the conflict.

"Okay, time out!" Sora exclaimed, as he and Kiba jumped between the two triggered teens. "Why don't we all take a moment to calm down?

"Yeah, there's no need to throw punches on the first day!" Kiba added in.

Reina scoffed and turned away, "...Whatever."

The ash-blonde teen let out a grunt and walked away. "I don't have time for this crap! Just more bugs to add on my shit list."

Several of the students walking by them had noticed the confrontation, and began to whisper amongst themselves. The Rangers could make out a few of their murmurs, most of whom were associated with a "sludge-monster" and a boy named "Bakugo".

"What an ass." Reina commented, folding her arms under her chest.

Ayumi huffed while staring at the boy's back. "That's a funny way to show gratitude to someone who tried to save him."

Cyrus looked at the green-haired boy in confusion, "Hey Midoriya, you know that guy, right? What's his deal?"

"Oh, that's Kacchan. Well, actually his name is Katsuki Bakugo, but I've been calling him Kacchan since we were kids. He and I go to the same school," Izuku explained. "He's really powerful. A lot of people at my school think he's going to be the next number-one hero."

'Huh, not with that kind of attitude.' Sora thought to himself.

"What, he's got a bone to pick with you or something...?" Kiba trailed off, waiting for Izuku to answer.

At that, Izuku lowered his head, his green eyes tinged with a mixture of sadness and regret. "Uh, we used to be friends as kids. But nowadays...well, I don't really know the answer to that myself. Ever since his Quirk manifested, he changed. Both for the better and the worst, I suppose."

Sensing that the subject of Katsuki Bakugo was a sensitive one for Izuku, Sora decided to switch their topic of discussion. He inclined his head towards the school. "Well, anyway, we should probably head in now. We'll see you inside, Midoriya."

They all nodded to their leader before heading into the building.


U.A. High School Auditorium- Morning

The Rangers were now in an auditorium, packed with a number of middle school students. They were all sitting next to one another, waiting for the announcement starts. Unfortunately, Bakugo was right next to them, as he was giving them all a death glare, but they chose to ignore him and make small talk with all the applicants arriving in the auditorium. After a few minutes of waiting, a man walked up to the stage.

His name is Hizashi Yamada, also known as the Voice Hero: Present Mic.

He is a tall, slim man with long blond hair, which he wears spiked upwards in a huge tuft behind his head, and a small brown mustache. He has rectangular eyes with concentric greenish-yellow pupils, and he is almost always seen with a large smile on his face and has never been seen drawn with nostrils. His hero costume consists of a black jacket with a very tall collar, upturned and complete with studs, and matching black pants and knee-high boots. He sports tan shoulder pads and a red belt and elbow pads, all studded, and black fingerless gloves. His neck is always obscured by a directional speaker which he uses with his Quirk. He is wearing a pair of headphones with the word "HAGE" written on the headband and a pair of orange-tinted shades.

It looked like he was about to say something to everyone.

"What's up, U.A. candidates? Thanks for tuning into me-your school DJ, Present Mic!" He spread his hands out, grinning. "C'mon and let me hear ya!" The man turned his head to the side, hand cupped over his ear.

However, there was complete silence in response to his words.

Present Mic gave up after a moment, still smiling. "Keepin' it mellow, huh? That's fine-I'll skip straight to the main show!" He turned towards the audience. "Let's talk about how this practical exam is going to go down, okay?" A flashy yellow background appeared behind him as he shot his arm into the air, shouting. "ARE YOU REAADAAY?!"

Kiba suddenly stood up and raised his fist. "HELL YEAH!" He exclaimed, as he stood like this for a moment as everyone looks at him strangely he before sat down, embarrassed.

"That's what I'm talking about!" Present Mic grinned, pointing at the yellow Ranger's spot. "Love the enthusiasm!"

However, Izuku sat in the stands, fanboying about the hero. "Present Mic! So cool!" He gushed in excitement. "I listen to his radio show every day of the week! It's so crazy nuts that all the U.A. teachers are pro heroes!"

"Looks like Midoriya's having fun." Sora thought in this awkward silence.

"Will you shut up or do you want to die?!" Bakugo snapped at the green-haired boy.

"How about you shut up?" Sora snapped back.

"The hell you say?!" Bakugo growled.

"You heard him. Leave the guy alone." Reina said with an irritated tone.

Bakugo just angrily stayed silent, not wanting to make a scene.

Present Mic raised his arm. "Like your application said, today you rockin' boys and girls will be out there conducting 10-minute mock battles in super hip urban settings!" The screen switched to show the different areas, labelled A-G. "After I drop off the mic here, you'll head to your specified battle centers-sound good?" After being met by silence, Present Mic shouted out, only to be denied again. "Okaaaay?!"

Each of the students glanced down at their cards, reading them thoroughly.

'Looks like I'm in Battle center-C.' Sora thought to himself. He looked over to his teammates cards to see what center they were in. "All five of us ended up in the same battle center."

"I see." Bakugou glanced over to Izuku's card. "They're splitting us up so we can't work with any of our friends." He realized the point of the test.

"Yeah, you're right." Izuku commented looking at his card. "Our examinee numbers are one after the other, but we're assigned to different battle centers."

Bakugou glared at the boy. "Get your eyes off my card." He sighed, glancing down. "I was really looking forward to crushing you."

Izuku nervously laughed at his comment, while the Rangers were getting sick of Bakugo's attitude.

Present Mic began to speak again. "Okay, okay! Let's check out your charts! There are 3 types of faux villains in every battle center." He explained. "You'll earn points based on their level of difficulty-so better choose wisely!"

The screen displayed the robots that they'd be battling before displaying a quick demonstration video of what it'd be like.

"Your goal in this trial is to use your quirk to raise your score by shredding these faux villains like a midsong guitar solo!" He turned towards the audience, raising his finger. "But check it! Make sure you keep things heroic! Attacking other examinees is a U.A. no-no, ya dig?" he said, wagging his finger.

"Hmm, sounds simple enough." Sora hummed in understanding.

"Are they using... Super Mario Bros for the examples on how the physical exam will work? " Reina questions with a raised eyebrow.

"Yeah." Ayumi quietly said. "Odd choice for showing the instructions, though."

"I'll say." Cyrus said.

"It's like some kind of video game." Kiba added in.

Then suddenly, a boy stood up, with his hand raised. "Excuse me sir, but I have a question."

"Hit me!" Present Mic shouted back.

A spotlight appeared on the boy with glasses. He is a relatively tall and muscular young man with a wide frame. He has short dark blue hair, flattened neatly down and parted on the right side of his head, a small patch completely shaved near the base of his head, and rather square eyes which match the notably pointed shape of his jaw. He usually wears a serious expression, and his eyebrows seem to be permanently pointed inwards, quite thin and long in length, the far ends sharply hooked inwards, and he wears glasses with rectangular lenses.

His name was Tenya Iida.

Everyone turned their heads to see what he was about to say.

He'd pointed his finger at the battle card. "On the printout, you've listed four types of villains, not three. With all respect, if this is an error on official U.A. materials, it is shameful." Iida was going on about.

"Oh god, he's one of those types of people." Sora thought annoyingly as he was rolling his eyes away from the boy, with his eyes closed and arms crossed, as he stopped paying attention to him. Guys who stick to the rules like religion or hold themselves too high and also think that they are always right tend to get on his nerves.

"Reminds me of Sky, when he started off as the S.P.D. Blue Ranger." Cyrus thought, remembering every Power Ranger and their history.

Iida then put the paper down, beginning to preach. "We are exemplary students. We expect the best from Japan's most notable school. A mistake such as this won't happen additionally." He pointed at Izuku. "Also, you! With the unkempt hair."

Izuku was confused. "Me?" He asked, pointing at himself.

"You've been muttering this entire time. Stop that. If you can't bother to take this seriously, then leave. You're distracting the rest of us." He scolded the green-haired boy who looked down in shame.

That got Sora's attention and what he said pissed him off. Not just him, but Reina also got pretty heated from Iida's comment.

Izuku embarrassedly covered his mouth. "I'm sor-" He was about to apologize until Sora said something.

"Hey, asshat! Was that really necessary?!" Sora spoke out with anger in his voice.

"Excuse me?" Iida asked as everyone in the auditorium turned their attention to the brunette.

"Did you really need to call him out like that over something so small?!" The Red Ranger repeated.

"But he's distracting everyone!" The glasses boy counted. "Don't you find his muttering inappropriate in such a prestigious institution?"

"Not really." Sora answered, surprising him a bit. "In fact, no one here was distracted or bothered by it. The only thing that's distracting is the guy who stands up and demands answers rather than wait and ask politely." But the Red Ranger wasn't done giving him a piece of his mind. "Not only that, but you don't know jack shit about him or how hard he worked to be here. So don't you dare say he isn't taking this seriously!"

This caused Iida to flinch in fear from Sora's fury as Izuku looked at the brunette in shock. No one had ever stood up for him prior to coming here.

"Yeah, so why don't you sit your ass down before I come down there and kick it!" Reina shouted, glaring at Iida. The boy flinched again, at the girl's attitude.

"But... I was..." Iida tried to say something but Sora didn't give him the chance.

"But nothing!" He said irritatedly. "Just sit down, shut up, and quit wasting everyone's time!"

Iida was now stunned by this. He wanted to say something, but was too afraid to speak with the Red and Black Rangers glaring at him. So he didn't say anything else and sat back down.

"Asshole." Reina mumbled quietly.

"No kidding." Kiba agreed, being the only one to hear the greenette's comment.

"You okay, Midoriya?" Ayumi asked him softly.

"Y-Y-Yes." He shuddered.

"Ignore him and anyone else who messes with you."

"R-Right and thanks." Izuku happily said with a nervous smile.

"Alright, alright." Present Mic said as he waved his arms. "Examinee #7111! Thanks for calling in with your request!" The screen zoomed into the fourth villain as Present Mic explained, pointing at the image. "The fourth villain type is worth 0 points! That guy's just an obstacle we'll be throwing in your way. There's one in every battle center. Think of it as a hurdle you should try to avoid! It's not that it can't be beaten. There's... Kinda no point." He raised his arm into the air, palm facing towards the sky. "I suggest my listeners try to ignore it and focus on the ones on top of the charts!"

"Thank you very much." The glasses boy stood up bowing. "Please, continue."

"Oh, I get it." one student compared. "They're kinda like traps you have to get by in games."

The boy next to him replied. "The whole thing's like a video game, huh?"

"But before you listeners tackle the Practical exam, you have to take the written exam first." He said to the student. "The classroom you will be assigned to will be the same as your battle center, so if you're in battle center-A, you will head to classroom-A." He explained.

Present Mic did a static version of jazz hands. "That's all I got for you today! I'll sign you off with a sample of our school motto! As General Napoleon Bonaparte once laid down, a true hero is one who overcomes life's misfortunes. Mhhhm. Now that's a tasty soundbyte!" He grinned menacingly, the camera zooming into his face. "You ready to go beyond?" The man raised his arms in the air, 'Plus Ultra' written across the screen. "Let's hear a Plus Ultra!" After no response, Present Mic simply shouted. "Good luck! Hope you practiced more than hitting just books!" He then exited the stage.

"Huh, that's quite an inspiring motto." Cyrus complimented.

"Meh, our's is better." Reina snorted with a shrug.

All the students were ready for the intense test. The Rangers all had little smiles on their faces, as Izuku had a nervous smile for the upcoming mock battle while Bakugo excitedly clenched his fist.

Everyone in the auditorium got up from their seats and listened to the names of their respective classrooms for the written exam. Sora and the other Rangers got up as well.

"You heard the man. Let's going, Rangers." Their leader said to them.

"Right." The other said, as all of them head to classroom-C for the written exam.

To Be Continued...

U.A. High School Ground Beta City C- Morning

After 2 hours of taking the written portion of the exam, the Rangers are now heading to the battle center. They took a bus to Battle Center C, standing outside in front of the gate that led into the fake city. All the other students were preparing themselves for the practical exam both physically and mentally.

The people surrounding them were varied in all sorts of ways. There was one girl whose earlobes looked like headphone cables, one boy who had thick lips, and another boy that appeared to have purple grapes for hair.

"Wow, I knew there'd be a lot of people, but this is way more than I expected." Cyrus spoke up, sporting a blue T-shirt with orange stars on the sleeves and brown cargo shorts and whitish-blue loose sneakers.

"Not surprising. Seems like they all want to prove they have what it takes to be heroes," Reina said, as she and Ayumi were doing stretches to loosen muscles. The greenette now wore a purple sports bra with black sweatpants and black wristbands.

"I just hope that there aren't more jerks here..." Ayumi said, still miffed about her encounter with Bakugo. She was now seen in a pink/white track jacket and black short with white stripes on the sides, along with basic sneakers.

"On an unrelated note, U.A. sure likes to go overboard, huh?" Kiba, in shock, said to really nobody but his friends. Not that the group of UA hopefuls around them really paid any interest. For clothes, he wore a yellow-colored shirt and a pair of gray shorts and shoes.

The blonde stared up at the constructed cityscape that TOWERED in front of everyone. Large stretching buildings peppered the entire area beyond the wall, creating a wall of shadow that streamed over the awaiting students.

The wind flowing down streets and intersections of the constructed lanes and buildings whistled, sending up an array of sound that seemed to echo around the area, seemingly showing off just how long the area stretched.

"Kinda reminds me of one of Katrina's holograms." Sora uttered as he now sported a red, sleeveless hoodie, a tan T-shirt, black gym shorts, and black/white running shoes.

"How does UA have the money for all of this?" Kiba wondered aloud as he tilted his head and tried to find an end to the stretching city.

"Most of it is from support by certain Pro Heroes and the community." Cyrus shrugged.

"OK, EVERYBODY START!" The voice of Present Mic suddenly rang out, drawing everybody's attention to where the Pro Hero was standing on an observation tower. All of the candidates around the Rangers looked confused about what was going on.

Before anyone could ask, though, the Pro Hero just laughed before yelling out again so all the participants could hear. "What are you waiting for?! There isn't a countdown in a real battle. You greenhorns get those legs moving!"

The moment they heard Present Mic's voice shout out through the speakers, the Rangers all shot off into the mock city like bullets.

"Holy crap!" A girl exclaimed in awe. She was a girl of medium height, possibly set a little more broadly than some of her other females. Her skin was a light shade of pink, and she has somewhat square-shaped eyes with black sclera and yellow irises and notably long eyelashes below and around the sides of her eyes.

Her face is framed by short fluffy, unruly pink hair slightly darker than her skin. She also has two thin pale yellow horns protruding from her head, hooked squarely and leaning diagonally to opposite sides, which seem to be slightly flexible, able to bend a bit to each side.

This was Mina Ashido.

"Did you see those guys? They're moving at supersonic speed!" One of the examinees loudly yelled.

"Oh crap, we have to move quickly before they steal our kills!" Another shouted.

"Run, run, run, listeners! You're wasting your time here!" Present Mic waved his arm rapidly, signaling for them to move.

With that said, the students now realize that the five Power Rangers got a head start on them and started running into the fake city.


U.A. High School Ground Beta City B- Morning

Meanwhile, Sora and his team managed to make it into the city ahead of everyone else and started to spot a few robots.

"Showtime, guys!" The brunette said as he ran up to a 3-pointer.

The faux villain notices the Red Ranger and began to attack him. "Fear me. I am a villain." The robot said while attacking him.

Sora quickly spun to the side and delivered a powerful kick, destroying the faux villain. Then, a 1-pointer attacked from his left side, but the brunette jumps over its assault to avoid the attack and hopped off the 1-pointer body to attack a 2-pointer next to the robot. Sora then shatters the 2-pointer with a left punch and quickly rushes back at the 1-pointer to destroy it with another punch.

Reina dodges a 1-pointer attack, grabs the robot by its arm, and lifts the 1-pointer in the air with her enhanced Ranger strength. She noticed a 2-pointer rushing her from the right side and swings the faux villain she's holding into the 2-pointer like a baseball bat, destroying both robots at once. Another 2-pointer ran up to the greenette, only for her to leap over it and slam her shoe into its head, driving its body into the concrete.

"Hiya!" Ayumi cried out as she somersaulted into the air before her hands landed on the robot. She swung down and slammed her foot into the robot's face, brutally knocking it to the ground.

"Wow, I knew I was strong but not that strong!" The pinkette said in awe, looking at her work.

Her thoughts were broken when a 3-pointer headed towards her. The girl then leaped up, and it shot its rockets at her, but missed as she went into a series of handsprings and jumped above them. The moment she jumped, she then twirled in mid-air and performed a split kick, driving her shoe-clad feet into the robot's head. The sudden force of the blow took its head clean off before it crumbled onto the ground.

"36 points! Whoo!" Ayumi cheered before hopping down on the ground

"Leroy Jenkins!" Kiba said, leaping in the air and dropkicks the 2-pointer, destroying it completely. "Haha, I love this!" He exclaimed.

He then slowly lands back on the ground like a feather, as he rolls on the floor but quickly rushes at another faux villain with its back turned. He then punches the 3-pointer with enough force to send it flying as it shatters in mid-air.

"Kiba, heads up!" Cyrus shouted at his friend.

That broke the blonde out of his thoughts, as he didn't notice a faux villain attacking from behind. He turned to see it swing him and jumped out of the way just in time for Cyrus to use the head of a broken robot and kicked it at the faux villain, destroying it.

"Thank me later!" Cyrus waved jokingly.

"Ah, shut up!" Kiba snorted.

"It might be best for us to spit up and search for more villains." Reina suggested.

"Sounds good." Sora nodded in agreement. "Let's divide & conquer, and regroup in the next few minutes."

"Got it!" The Rangers nodded before heading off in different directions to find more faux villains to fight.


U.A. High School Observation Room- Morning

In a dark room, multiple people were watching the exam through a set of multiple TV screens that help see as many students as possible from the multiple tests grounds. They're the judges of the exam and decide who passes or failed. It's been over 4 minutes since the practical exam started.

"We have a lot of good candidates this year, that's for sure." A man with a cowboy hat said.

His hero name was Snipe.

He has the appearance of a stereotypical Western cowboy. His face is covered by an old-school tan gas mask, shaped a little like a horse's muzzle, with triangular holes for his eyes and silver ear-defenders wired to the sides of the mask, but his dark, blueish shoulder-length dreadlocks are always visible from the back and sides. On his head, he wears a brown cowboy hat with a thick metallic plate at the front, a large "S" stamped in the center, and gray boots with knee-high shafts and vamps with silver trims that dip a little at the front, a heel-band with a spur at the end attached to the back of each boot. He wears a large red cloak, buttoned up at the top, with frayed ends, under which he wears a plain black tank top with white armor strapped over the right side of his torso, and a brown belt with a gun holster attached at his hip. He has baggy black or dark brown pants with light brown or yellow chaps over them in stereotypical cowboy fashion. On his arms, he wears black skin tight arm-guards going up to his biceps and on his hands, tan gloves.

"They all seem to be very skilled with using their quirks in combat." A white-haired man said.

His name is Sekijiro Kan, also known by his hero name, Blood Hero: Vlad King.

He is a very tall, wide-set man of a bulky, muscular build, with lightly tanned skin, a few visible scars showing on his left cheek, and the left side of his notably thick neck. He has short pale gray hair, which is spiked upwards, away from his face, the only exception to this being the small clump of hair that hangs down over the left of his forehead. His eyes are very small and thin, and he has a wide mouth with two prominent lower canines, which appear even when his mouth is closed. His hero costume consists of a dark red skin-tight suit with a very low u-shaped collar, which exposes the middle of his pectoral muscles and is lined with a thick black trim, which matches the ones over his shoulders. He wears white over-the-knee boots and thick vambraces over his lower arms, a thin wire snaking from one of the two small protrusions on the left, one to the back of his neck, and red gloves. Around his waist, he has a three-piece metallic belt that dips downwards in the center, and he wears an orange mask over his eyes.

"Clearly, the examinees have no idea how many villains are present or their locations." Nezu commented, a screen of the students displayed in front of several rows of judges and teachers.

They have limited time, must cover a vast area, and hunt down every last target." Nezu continues. "Some use information gathering abilities to plan out strategies," He explained, a picture of a tall, muscular young man with 6 arms appearing on screen. He continued, as Iida appeared next. "While others rely on speed to pull ahead of their peers." He explains. "Of course," Aoyama shouting a laser from his belt came next. "Remaining calm under pressure can be a huge advantage!" With his next words, Bakugo appears next on the screen standing on top of a pile of broken robots. "As can pure power and combat ability. The most successful students use a combination of all these tactics. They're the ones who rack up the highest scores...!" Nezu finishes.

"Hmm." A dark purple hair woman commented. "I'd say this year's group looks promising."

Her name is Nemuri Kayama, also known as the R-Rated Hero: Midnight.

She was a tall, curvaceous woman with sky blue eyes, which tilted downwards in the center; framed by a set of rather long eyelashes. She had abundant spiky dark purple hair, which was made up of layers of varying lengths, the longest ones reaching down below her waist. Her chin-length bangs were split into three sections; two swept to the sides and one over her face, going diagonally down to the left between her eyes. She also had a small beauty mark below her left eye, as well as red-painted nails. Her hero costume was very similar to one of a traditional dominatrix. She wore a breastless, black leather leotard—similar in style to a corset—over a thin, skin-tight white bodysuit, which accentuated her voluptuous figure. The center strip of her leotard was embellished with red gemstone-like accessories in a vertical pattern, extending from her collar to her midriff. She also wore translucent, black, thigh-high garter stockings, which were attached to a burgundy utility belt decorated with gold studs around her hips, a matching pentagonin its center, and black knee-boots She had a small red mask outlining her eyes and a handcuff on each wrist.

"Yes, they all do have some interesting quirks." A slender man said.

His hero name is Ectoplasm.

He is a tall, slender man with short hair and completely blank eyes tilted inwards. Due to losing his legs in the line of duty, he uses replacement prosthetics, and when in anything but his hero attire, he wears a pair of large glasses. In his hero costume, he wears a tan cloak that covers most of his body, the area over his torso, and the high collar resembling that of a double-breasted trench coat Underneath this, he wears a skin-tight black bodysuit with a golden striped neck area and a matching black helmet that covers his entire head, a jaw-guard attached over his nose and around his jaw, and circular mufflers. He also wears baggy dark gray pants and a pair of thin, lightweight, prosthetic legs.

"I agree, especially that young boy with the explosion quirk. He's just tearing through those faux villains like they are nothing." A skinny man commented.

His name is Higari Maijima, also known as Excavation Hero: Power Loader.

He is a short, skinny man with a very youthful appearance for his advanced age. He has spiky ginger hair, reaching just past his shoulders and dull blue eyes, as well as a notably large mouth. His hands appear to be the largest part of his body, disproportional to his rather small frame. His hero costume consists of a large yellow helmet in the shape of a rectangular excavator claw, the top piece of which protruding outwards to cover his head and most of his face, and the bottom piece left to act as something of a long jaw-guard. He leaves himself shirtless and also wears a pair of large, fingerless gray gloves with metal guards that extend down his arms, as well as a pair of plain cyan pants. When in battle, his helmet is hooked up to a large steel appliance that he sits on and can use for combat as it includes a pair of sizeable metal arms.

"Yes, but he seems to be very aggressive. He has only obtained villain points and hasn't gotten a single Hero point." A woman in a space suit stated.

Her hero name is Thirteen.

She is wearing a costume consisting of a white space suit design using what appears to be a puffy jacket instead of an actual suit, a black helmet with white eyes, and a pair of yellow boots. It is possible to assume that Thirteen is thin, given the quite small legs showing between the costume's pants and shoes, but this is unconfirmed.

"He does have the potential to be a great hero, but he needs a lot of work to real in his behavior." A humanoid block man said.

Ken Ishiyama, also known by his hero name Cementoss.

He appears to be a humanoid block of cement with black, seemingly shut eyes and gray hair tied into a short ponytail. His body shape is evenly blocky all around his body. His eyes are generally closed, and his lips are pulled upwards. His hero costume consists of a sleeveless brown suit that includes yellow stripes, shorts, and an elongated collar. He also sports gray shoes with yellow soles.

"He reminds me a lot of Endeavor when he was at that age." A tired looking man said as he narrowed his eyes at Bakugo.

His name is Shota Aizawa, also known as the Erasure Hero: Eraser Head.

He is a slender and tall pale-skinned man with messy, shoulder-length black hair that partially hangs in front of his face and often half-opened black eyes. He is usually recognized for his worn-out appearance, often having a fatigued appearance. His facial hair remains unkempt, and his eyes almost always look tired and flat. His wearing sports a ragged black outfit that consists of a long-sleeved shirt and matching pants that tuck into his boots. He also wears a utility belt and his signature wrap scarf round his neck.

"Yes, he has a powerful drive, but if left unchecked, it could cause major problems in the future." Toshinori said with a nod.

"And the last thing our school needs is to create a second Endeavor." Thirteen said in worry.

"I guess I should give him some... discipline." Midnight said with a sadistic smile.

"Control yourself, woman." Aizawa tiredly said to the heroine. Then, I looked at the monitors with the five Rangers. "Excuse me, Nezu. But who are those five?"

Nezu looks at the five Rangers' files. "Let's see...Sora Ukashi, Reina Fukukado, Cyrus Hado, Kiba Mason, and Ayumi Suzuni."

Everyone looked at the principal with surprise looks on their faces. "Wait, did you say 'Hado'?" Midnight asked him. "As in Nejire Hado?"

"Indeed." Nezu nodded with a smile. "To think that she had a sibling all this time. Fufufu."

"I'm more surprised by the fact that one of U.A.'s Big Three allowed her sibling to take part in the Entrance Exam." Thirteen commented.

 "Speaking of which, didn't you say that one of those five's name was 'Fukukado'?" Snipe questioned.

Aizawa let out a deep sigh before saying. "Apparently so. Considering this Reina has the last name as Emi Fukukado, also known as Ms Joke... the same must be said for them as well."

"Wait, seriously?" Vlad King said in shock.

"I didn't even know Ms Joke had a younger sister!" Said the surprised Thirteen as Midnight uses her computer to zoom in on Reina.

"And from where I'm looking at her, she looks exactly like her in a way, except for that determined look on her face." The woman commented. 

"Really?" Ectoplasm asked, intrigued. "So, we have examiness related to a Pro and one of the Big 3? They must have very interesting Quirks if they decided to enroll here."

"True." Nezu said before looking down at the files. "If it weren't for the fact that they and the other three are Quirkless." He smiled, seeing quirkless people finally taking the exam.

"What?!" The other teachers yelled in shock.

"Quirkless!?" Snipe gaped loudly. "How is that possible!?"

"Principal, don't you know that hero work is dangerous for a quirkless person?" Midnight worriedly stated.

"Who said that quirkless people can't be heroes?" Aizawa questioned, as all the other teachers looked his way, especially Toshinori. "As long as they have potential, then they can be heroes."

"Aizawa, this job is dangerous for the Quirkless children." Toshinori protested, which made Aizawa raise his eyebrow. "All five of them could be killed if they encounter a villain."

Aizawa just snickered at the number one hero's comment. "Did you forget that my quirk is basically useless against Mutant-Type quirks? I have to learn martial arts to attack and defend myself. I'm basically quirkless, so what is the difference between me and a quirkless person." He said.

Toshinori was thinking deeply and completely forgot that Aizawa is basically powerless against villains with Mutant-Types quirks.

"And it's not just me. There are plenty of other Pro heroes who don't have physical superpowers but still manage to get the job done." Aizawa added on.

"Yes, I fully agree with you, Aizawa." Nezu said, drinking his tea. "There are a number of heroes who don't possess any physical powers. For example, there's our very own staff members: Midnight, Recovery Girl, Lunch Rush, and Snipe." He said making everyone there realize that all of them don't have any physical quirks. "And let's not forget the Wild, Wild Pussycats, Ragdoll and Mandalay. It's like what Aizawa said, most heroes with quirks like them rely on martial arts to fight against villains. So if those five manage to pass the exam without a quirk, then that will make them even more impressive." Nezu happily said.

After hearing what Nezu said made the heroes think about the Power Rangers and how popular they've become with Quirkless society. Basically, the Power Rangers are prime examples that people can become a hero even if they don't have a Quirk and now serve as an inspiration to any Quirkless that has dreamed about becoming a hero, despite the fact of being vigilantes.

"Also, I think I should point something out." Aizawa said, getting their attention. "If you pay attention to all five of them, they're smashing the robots with only a single punch and kick like they were garbage cans."

"I see. Those five really are destroying them in a single blow." Nezu said impressed by their performance. "It almost looks like they have strength quirks."

"But didn't you say they were Quirkless?" Power Loader said in confusion.

"Who knows? But look at their bodies. It almost looks like they're levitating when they land back on the ground as if their bodies were like feathers." Aizawa stated, which shocked the teachers. "I can also see that their speed is slightly faster than any of the applicants, except for the troublesome boy and the kid brother of Ingenium. And also...that Midoriya kid. The one with the green hair."

Toshinori froze a little as he said that, though only Nezu seemed to have noticed.

"You're right. All five of them look like they have the same ability. But is it a quirk or not?" The principal stated while the teachers were amazed as the 5 Power Rangers kept destroying the faux villains with only a single punch and kick with ease.

"You mean to tell me those five are that skilled without quirks?" Snipe asked.

"All of them have a lot of potential. They're easily taking out bots while also actively focusing on helping the other examinees." Thirteen said.

"Those kids aren't half bad." Aizawa commented. "I also notice instead of relying on their powers, all 5 of them are beating the faux villains with martial arts alone." He pointed out.

"They also have a good sense of their surroundings." Ectoplasm said, impressed by the Rangers.

"For being quirkless, those five are doing especially well." Midnight said, watching Sora kick a faux villain into pieces. "Now that I take a closer look, that Ukashi does look quite handsome." She said, licking her lips.

"Oh God. Please don't, Midnight." Vlad King said, running his hand over his face.

"In any case, let's just watch and see how this plays out." Cementos said.

Toshinori just silently watched the screen and was slightly disturbed by the Rangers deploy of power.


U.A. High School Ground Beta City C - Morning

Sora was destroying every faux villain he saw in his sight and helped any examinees he came across in danger. He then punches a 3-pointer in the face, crushing it with one blow before he saw the other Rangers coming his way.

Cyrus came running out of an alleyway while destroying multiple faux villains that were in his way like they were ragdolls.

Reina heard the clanging of metal coming from behind her and turned around to see a short green robot rolling towards her on a single wheel, its red eye gleaming dangerously in her direction. At the same time, another robot of the same make leaped down at her from a building, intending to squish her like a grape.

Seeing an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone, Reina lifted her hands and caught the falling robot with ease with her supernatural strength. She then spun it like a discus and hurled it towards the onrushing robot, and watched with satisfaction as the two machines exploded upon collision.

Kiba launched forward and weaved past several rockets. Then, when he came within range of the three-pointer, he rammed his right fist into its torso with such force it drilled a hole clean through. However, the robot wasn't out of commission yet and clasped its hands above its head in preparation for a double hammer fist.

Not wanting to let the machine get that far, Kiba thrust his other hand into its torso and then ripped the robot in half like a flimsy piece of paper.

He saw four more faux villains and saw Mina, who melted two of them down by tossing a corrosive liquid from her hands.

'She can use acid!?' Kiba thought in shock. 'That is hardcore!'

Both robots decided to attack the girl at the same time and rushed Mina from both sides. Kiba saw this and rushed into action. Mina destroyed one of them and was about to attack the other, only for Kiba to beat her to it.

"Wow!" She was a bit surprised to see him defeat that faux villain in one shot and gave him a bright smile. "Thanks for the save!"

"It's what I do," Kiba said to her quickly before leaving.

Mina watched him leave and said to herself. "Huh. He was pretty cute."

Ayumi jumped into the air and dropped herself on a three-pointer, making sure to stomp her foot against the back of its neck. The blow drove off the head of the robot, causing it to briefly sputter out of control before deactivating.

"5 minutes and 2 seconds left!" Present Mic called out over the loudspeakers.

Soon, all five Rangers regroup with each other.

"So, how many points does everyone have?" Sora asked.

"I should have 57 points." Cyrus said in confidence.

"Meh, 59." Reina said, rolling her shoulders.

"I'm at 58 points." Kiba said to them.

"57 for me too." Ayumi said.

"60." The brunette said to his team.

But before anything else was said, the ground started to rumble violently.

"W-What's going on?!" Cyrus said in confusion.

"Something's coming." Kiba said as he tensed up.

Then, out of nowhere, multiple examinees were heading their way like they were running from something.

"There's too many of them!" The boy with purple balls said in fear. "I didn't sign up for this!"

"We have to get out of here!" A girl cried running away.

Soon, all the examinees from the battle center started to gather in one place with the stampeding increasing. The Rangers saw a ton of faux villains heading towards them and the other examines. Everyone was freaking out on how many there were and how they were going to deal with them.

"That's a lot of robots." Sora said with a sweat drop rolling down his face.

"No kidding." Kiba laughed with this whole situation.

"U.A. sure doesn't hold back, huh?" Ayumi said.

"More for us then." Reina smirked, cracking her knuckles.

"This seems to be a bit too much, even if it is an exam." Cyrus pushing up his glasses before preparing for the wave of villains.

Sora and the others looked at each other and nodded, knowing this was the perfect time to suit up.

"You guys know once we do this, there's no going back." Cyrus told them.

"Yeah, but now's not the time for waiting," Sora replied back.

Reina placed her hand on the bluenette's shoulder. "He's right. Now's the perfect time to woman up."

"Meh, it was fun while it lasted!" Kiba snickered.

"Let's hope we don't get trouble for this..." Ayumi uttered out.

Before the examinees could do anything, they all notice the five Rangers calmly walking forward to the wave of faux villains standing side by side of one another: Sora in the middle, Cyrus on his left and Reina on his left, with Kiba on Reina's right and Ayumi on Cyrus's left.

Soon, the group stopped when they were a good distance away from the other examinees and the faux villains coming in large numbers. Everyone was just wondering what the five of them were doing and how they were planning to stop that many robots on their own.

"Okay, let's do it guys!" Sora said, raising up his left wrist with his Red Morpher.

"Hell yeah!" Reina smirked, raising up her left wrist with her Black Morpher.

"Right!" Cyrus shouted, raising up his left wrist with his Blue Morpher.

"Let's get er done!" Kiba raising up his left wrist with his Yellow Morpher.

"Ditto!" Ayumi cried, raising up her left wrist with her Pink Morpher.

While all of this was happening, the students and teachers were watching them and wondering what they were doing.


U.A. High School Observation Room- Morning

"What are those? Are they some kind of Support Items?" Power Loader wondered.

"Are they permitted to use Support Items, Nezu?" Thirteen curiously asked.

Nezu takes a look at the Support Items permitted, but there was no permit from Sora, Reina, Cyrus, Kiba, or Ayumi. "No. I think they may have forgotten to write a permit slip."

"How are these Support Items? They look like toys." Vlad King said, which made the teachers wonder the same thing as well.

"Anyway, bringing forbidden and non-permitted Items on the exam will result in quick disqualification," Aizawa said in a strict tone.

"No wait, Aizawa," Nezu said stopping Aizawa. "I want to see this."

"Why?" Aizawa asked in confusion.

"I have a feeling they're about to do something interesting," Nezu said lying forward in his chair.

That got the other teachers thinking. Just what are those five planning on doing with those toy items?

"But what are they even going to do with those Items?" Toshinori wonders, as he looked intensely at the screen.


U.A. High School Ground Beta City B- Morning

"Ready guys?!" Sora asked, looking at his teammates.

"Ready!" They shouted back with determined looks on their faces.

"It's Morphin Time!" The five Rangers shouted together, as they pressed the red Morph button on their morphers, causing them to start glowing red, black, blue, yellow, and pink. 

The team, in unison, pressed the red Morph button on their morphers, causing them to start glowing red, black, blue, yellow, and pink. They then thrusted their left arms out together. "Call of the Hero!" The team shouted in unison as they pulled their left arms back and used their right hands to spin the Morphers' top half at the same time.


~Morphing Sequence: Hero Force (Cue Opening)

The background changes to a terrain of mountains as Reina held out her Morpher, which glowed black, as the spirit of a Black Bull runs in front of her. Reina rushes towards the Bull Spirit, before it forms around her body and creating her Black Ranger outfit from her neck to feet. As her hero lands on the ground, Reina's helmet formed on her head with a black visor while multiple earthquakes erupt in the background, as she poses.

The background changes to a terrain of daytime skies as Ayumi held out her Morpher, which glowed pink, as the spirit of a Pink Swan flies in front of her. Ayumi rushes towards the Swan Spirit, before it forms around her body and creating her Pink Ranger outfit from her neck to feet. As her hero lands on a cloud, Ayumi's helmet formed on her head with a black visor while gust of wind blow in the background, as she poses.

The background changes to a terrain of water as Cyrus held out his Morpher, which glowed blue, as the spirit of a Blue Stallion gallops in front of him. Cyrus rushes towards the Stallion Spirit, before it forms around his body and creating his Blue Ranger outfit around his neck to feet. As his hero lands on the sea, Cyrus's helmet formed on his head with a black visor while waves of water splash in the background, as he poses.

The background changes to a terrain of a savanna as Kiba held out his Morpher, which glowed pink, as the spirit of a Yellow Lion flies in front of her. Cyrus rushes towards the Lion Spirit, before it forms around his body and creating his Yellow Ranger outfit from his neck to feet. As he hero lands on the grass, Kiba's helmet formed on his head with a black visor while bright, yellow lightning flashed in background, as he was posing.

The background changes to a terrain of flames as Soraa held out his Morpher, which glowed pink, as the spirit of a Red Condor soars in front of him. Sora rushes towards the Condor Spirit, before it forms around his body and creating his Red Ranger outfit from his neck to feet. As his hero lands on the grass, Sora's helmet formed on his head with a black visor while red, hot flames roar in the background as he poses.

~Morphing Sequnce End~ (Song ends)


The examine students in Battle Center C were completely shocked at what they just saw Sora and the others do.

The teachers of the exam in the observation room were also dumbfounded by what they saw, especially the principal whose intelligence can make him predict almost anything.

But the Rangers wasn't done yet, because they still had more to say.

Then the exam drones moved in closer to get a good look at all of the Rangers and their outfits.

Sora clenched his fist and spun around before stopping, "Champion of the Skies! Hero Force Red!" He shouted while doing a pose, surrounded by red hot blaze of fire. 

Reina clenched her fist and spun around before stopping, "Champion of the Earth! Hero Force Black!" She shouted while doing a pose, surrounded by several rock formations. 

Cyrus clenched his fist and spun around before stopping, "Champion of the Seas, Blue Hero Ranger!" He shouted while doing a pose, surrounded by waves of water. 

Kiba clenched his fist and spun around before stopping, "Champion of the Savanna, Yellow Hero Ranger!" He shouted while doing a pose, surrounded by golden thunder. 

Ayumi clenched her fist and spun around before stopping, "Champion of the Forests, Pink Hero Ranger!" She shouted while doing a pose, surrounded by currents of air. 

"Till the Age of Heroes end, Rangers defend!!!" The five of them shouted together in sync for everyone to hear while getting into poses.

"Till the Age of Heroes end, Rangers defend!!!" The five of them shouted together in sync for everyone to hear while getting into poses

(Like this.)

"Power Rangers Hero Force!" The Hero Force Rangers shouted their team symbol shining above them, before a giant explosion occurs behind them, further increasing their awesomeness.

U.A. High School Ground Beta City C - Morning

No one said anything, nobody even bothered to move or breathe. They were all so blown away by what they just saw and heard, that the examinees had nothing but a look of beyond disbelief on all of their faces with their eyeballs popping out and jaws dropped to the ground.

Some of them thought it was the coolest thing they had ever seen in their lives, some thought how they were able to pull something like that off, and well some were still trying to process what they saw.

"Eh!?" A a short girl with a round face and a short equine muzzle, her face framed by thick, wavy blonde hair which reaches halfway down her back, some shorter bangs hanging down her forehead. Her eyes are large and round, Prussian blue in color, and she has a pair of tall, lyre-shaped pale tan horns on her head. Her calves are notably rounded, shaped similarly to those of a horse, and she has brown hooves for feet, and a short horse tail poking out from the end of her tailbone.

This was Pony Tsunotori

"Wait, those costumes! Aren't they..."

"Those Power Rangers guys!?" Shouted a short teenage boy with a large, round head and rather puffy cheeks. His nose was small, stubby, and points slightly upwards, and he had, oval-shaped eyes with large, black pupils, and notably thin eyebrows. He had a head of short dark purple hair with four large ball-shaped clumps resembling a mohawk.

This was Minoru Mineta.

"No way..." Mina said in pure shock.

It wasn't just them, everyone in the center had the same shocked expression on their faces as these were the vigilantes that everyone was talking about.

U.A. High School Observation Room- Morning

The teachers were doing no better than the examinees, still trying to process what the hell was going on. They didn't expect those support items would give them outfits, in fact, they never heard of support items that make costumes suddenly appear on a person.

But what caught them off guard even more was how they announced themselves like that in front of everyone and that giant random explosion.

"What in the nine heavens just happened right now?!" Snipe asked in shock, backing the silence.

"I-I... I have no idea." Midnight answered quietly with a stunned look on her face.

"You got to be freakin kidding me." Vlad King said in disbelief. "They're the vigilantes everyone's so worked up about! And Ms. Joke's and Hado's siblings are among them!?"

"Do they even know!?"

"What in the world kind of Support Items are those? And who created them?" Power Loader asked, unable to believe what he had just seen.

"Whoever made them must be one hell of a genius." Thirteen said with her eyes widened. "Nezu, is something like this allowed? Their costumes should be considered against the rules."

Nezu chuckles. "I don't know. But this is interesting to see."

"Wait a minute!" Toshinori said getting the others' attention. "Didn't Kamui Woods and a few other heroes encounter them a while back?"

"They did." Aizawa replied. "After they took down that bulldozer robot, they were confronted by Pros and were told to turn themselves in for Quirk usage in public, only to find out they were Quirkless from the start. To think that they were kids this whole time."

"A group of unknown costumed heroes that just came out of nowhere and stopped a sudden attack nearly a year ago." Vald King hummed. "Media outlets everywhere in this city are mistaking it as their debut as professional heroes. When in reality, they're just children with no idea on how the rules work around here apparently."

"And the fact that they revealed themselves here of all places..." Ectoplasm then narrowed his eyes. "Now is our chance to confront them about their actions. Midnight, contact--"

"No..." Nezu said, raising a paw. "Let them continue."

Ectoplasm looked shocked at this. "But sir, it's the Rangers!"

"I'm well aware, but let's watch and see how this plays out. Young Fukukado, Hado, and their friends might surprise us." Nezu said looking forward to what happens next.

Toshinori just wondered where they could have gotten the ability to summon costumes out of nowhere.


U.A. High School  Ground Beta City C - Morning

After finishing their morph, the Rangers stood in front of the other examinees as they stood down their foes.

"Alright, guys." Sora told the other Rangers - getting their attention. "Time to bring out the hardware."

"Right!" The others agreed before they all pressed the yellow buttons on their Morphers simultaneously.

Soon their morphers began to glow brightly as their weapons materilized in front of them.

"Pyro Saber!" Sora shouted.

"Terra Axe!" Reina shouted.

"Sea Lance!" Cyrus shouted.

"Savanna Claws!" Reina shouted.

"Sky Bowgun!" Ayumi shouted.

"Okay!" Sora said, pointing at the incoming robots. "Let's sends those things back to the junkyard!"

"Yeah!" The others said as all of them let out a battle cry before charging at the faux villains.


With Sora

Sora ran up close to the robots before stopping a few feet away from them, as 9 faux villains charged towards him. His blade then ignited in flames as he got closer.

"It's time to cut to the chase!" Sora cried out while he jumped up and dived down, then slashed a faux villain down the chest with his sword. He turned and slashed another, then slashed a third, then ran past some more and slashed them all.

He ran along the side of a van, slashed past one, then slashed another, then spun around and kicked a third, knocking it down, before slashing a fourth. He then jumped off and twirled around, before landing between several more, and then he spun around and slashed them all.

The robots' bodies began to spark before being cut into pieces and exploding right behind him.

That act surprised everyone there who saw him take down all those robots in less than a second. And the scariest thing about that was they didn't even see him move.

"Holy crap!" Mostly, all the examinees yelled in shock.


U.A. High School  Observation  Room-  Morning

The teachers were just as confused and terrified of the quick take down Sora just performed.

"What in the hell?! What is that kid?!" Vlad King asked in shock.

"He was able to do all that in only a few seconds?" Toshinori said with widened eyes, fearing that level of speed and skill.

"It must be the suit he's wearing. Not only is it increasing his strength, but also his speed and reaction time." Aizawa said observing Sora's fighting style. "And I'm pretty sure, Fukukado, Hado Mason, and Suzuni can also perform the same feats as well in their costumes."

"What skill..." Midnight said blushing at his performance. The way he cut through those robots is turning her on. "Just looking at this is getting me hot and bothered!"

"Yes, what a truly excellent display of skill from someone so young." Nezu happily said then switches to the other Rangers. "Now let's see how the others perform."


With Reina

The Black Ranger dove forward, bringing down her axe and cleaving a faux villain in two, before kicking a second's arm, then blocked a third's with his axe, before a bunch of them pounced on her, making the girl duck.

"You want some too!?" She yelled.

She got up and waved her axe around, making them back away, while hitting six of them, knocking them all down. She kicked one's chest, then turned and slashed another, then whacked another with the flat end. She then hit a third slightly with it, but it grabbed her axe, but then she raised it up and threw it away, making it land on many more, knocking them all down. She jumped and spun around, kicking one's arm and knocking it down.

"Suck it, bitch!" Reina shouted, raising her axe above her head and slammed it on the ground in front of a group of faux villains. The axe sent out a wide and powerful shockwave and destroyed every faux villains around her.


With Cyrus

The Blue Ranger twirled around his lance it a few times, before posing with his weapon facing the enemy "Come on!"

He then jumped forward in the air, straight towards the faux villains. He cut a 2 & 3-pointer, then slashes the both of them in half with the blade of the lance and uses the momentum to spun over to 3 more faux villains, cutting them all down in one strike. One robot leapt at him to attack but the the bluenette spun his lance then slams it to the ground and uses it to pull himself up in the air with his left hand. He then delivers a powerful right kick to the faux villain, creating a a burst of water that sent the robot back, knocking into 5 more faux villains and destroying them all in a explosion.

He soon jumped back, digging the lance into the ground again when he sees more faux charging at him. One almost smacked him with its hand, but he then spun around on top of his lance and kicks the first approaching faux villain in the face.

Cyrus then spun his body around along with spinning his lance, slashing multiple robots surrounding him. He used his weapon to grab mode to grab an 3-pointers by the neck and swing it into 3 more faux villains before breaking down along with the 3 other robots. Cyrus then placed his weapon on the back of his neck to block  the assault 2 more robots assault. He pushed them back then spun around some more still holding the lance on his neck, striking down more robots. Suddenly, two faux villains attack him, only for the blue ranger to quickly block the attacks with and swirl his lance around, creating a massive wave of water that engulfed the faux villains and and short-circuited them, setting off multiple explosions around him.


With Kiba

The yellow Ranger held up his claws, as the faux villains all charged at him. "Let's light this party up!" he smirked, charging in himself.

He proceeded to block a faux villain's arm with his claws, then hit its chest with his right one, then he waved his arms around to dodge another's arm. It then dodged as he tried to slash it, then it blocked his left claw with its arm, before he hit its hip with his right one, then its chest with his left. He turned and moved away as a third came at him, ducking as it tried to whack him, then he waved his arms around and hit a fourth's arm with his right one.

"Shamone!" He whooped, ducking, slashing one with his right claw as it moved past him.

He got up and blocked one's arm with his left claw, then hit its chest with his left, before elbowing its chest, then he kicked it, knocking it down. He spun around and waved his arms around, then ducked and blocked two arms with his weapns, then tried to slash one, but missed, before he spun around and kicked its chest.

"Yah!" He yelled, back flipping through the air.

He landed on her feet, then ducked as one tried to whack him, then he blocked its arm with his claws, before wrapping his arms around it, then he pulled back and kicked it. .

"Is that all you got?" He joked as his claws crackled with electric power.

He jumped up and generated a large surge of lightning from each of his claws, which twisted and rotated, destroying the remaining faux villains.


With Ayumi

"My turn!" She cried out as she fired pink lasers from her bowgun rapidly, hitting five faux villains, knocking them down as they sparked, then blasted another, before she jumped up. She twirled around and fired more shots, creating an explosion behind two, knocking them down.

"Whoo!" Ayumi whooped.

She spread her arms and dove down, then kicked her feet on the ground and dived away, kicking one as she did, knocking it against a traffic light. She landed and rolled past a few, then got up and spun around to kick one, but missed as it ducked, then turned and ducked past another as it tried to punch her. She blocked a third's punch with her forearms, then fired her bowgun, hitting another, then she spun around and waved her arms, but missed as two ducked and ran past her. She then blocked one's fist with her left hand, then fired more blasts, hitting another and knocking it down, then she kicked a third's arm before spinning around.

She turned to one, then blocked its arm with her left forearm, before she knocked it down onto a crate. She kicked another's arm, then leaned onto the first while lifting her legs up, firing her bowgun hitting another three nearby. Two jumped up and dived towards her, only for Ayumi too spin around rapidly, creating a pink twister that senr the robots flying into 5 more faux villains and destroying them all in a explosion.

She then ceased her spinning as she looked at her work. "I love being a Ranger!" She cheered happily.


U.A. High School Observation Room- Morning

As the Rangers were fighting off the herd of robots, the teachers and examinees were watching them in both shock and amazement, as the Hero Force Rangers were tearing through the faux villains like it was child's play. It was one thing to see it on TV...and another to see it in person.

As Aizawa said before, he noticed that upon wearing those costumes, their strength, speed, and reaction time increases. He was wondering whether the costumes granted them their abilities.

Toshinori was shivering when he saw the five kids' display for power. It was like they had multiple quirks which made Toshinori think of 'him' and wonder if he was responsible for this. But the number one shrugs off the thought of that because he died. He continued to watch them, especially considering how extremely well they were doing for being Quirkless.

Midnight like the other Pro's were amazed by their performances, especially Sora's as her body was twitching in ecstasy. For her, there was something so elegant and youthful about the brunette leading his teammates, cutting through the faux villains like paper, and moving and reacting at in great speed. And while she did her best to hide her strong elation from everyone, her blushing cheeks and her smirk that etched itself on her luscious lips were able to make their presence as she continued to stare at the red boy slashing through robots left and right.

Nezu was beyond interested in this performance that the Hero Force Rangers were displaying, as he had never seen this before except for that 'guy' who All Might killed 5 years ago. He was curious about the devices they used to change into their outfits. Was it Quirks or was it created by someone or something else? As much as he wanted his questions answered, they will have to wait for another time.


U.A. High School  Ground Beta City C  - Morning

"Holy crap! Please tell me I'm not dreaming right now?!" A boy said watching the Rangers' display of skills.

"No. You're not dreaming, because I'm seeing this too." A girl said with widened eyes.

"Those five are tearing those robots a new one!" Another boy shouted in surprise and excitement.

"Dude, those girls are on fire!" A boy said.

"I wish I had a girlfriend like that...!" Someone muttered.

"Are those really the Power Rangers from the news!?" One examinee asked in awe unable to look away from the action.

"Yeah, I've seen them on TV!" A girl exclaimed in excitement.

"Well, I do know one thing for sure is that they're going to pass." A girl said as couldn't help but to impressed by their display of power.

The Rangers soon regrouped as they stared down the remaining faux villains.

"There's still a number of them left." Ayumi pointed out.

"Then, let's end this!" Sora declared out loud to his teammates.

"WEAPONS COMBINE!"

The five weapons flew into the air and as they began to combine together into one super weapon. The Sky Bowgun was faced horizontally as the Savanna Claws launched and connected onto both sides of the Bowgun, facing forward, acting as additional barrels to the cannon. The Sea Lance then connected to the front of the Crossbow's, similar to an arrow. Finally, the Pyro Sword was locked in on top of the cannon, similar to where an arrow would be placed in a crossbow as the Terra Axe connected to the front of the bowgun's handle, with the bottom half facing forward.

"Justice Striker!" They shouted before Sora aimed it at the faux villians, as Reina and Kiba crouched down and held up the end of it, as Cyrus and Ayumi touched Sora's shoulders to hold him in place.

"Ready!" Kiba and Reina shouted together.

"Aim!" Ayumi and Cyrus shouted together.

"Fire!" Sora shouted, before the Red Ranger pulled the trigger.

The Justice Striker immediately sent out a powerful, rainbow-colored laser beam and the group of faux villains dead on, which caused them to start sparking.

The Rangers all took their weapons and turned around, as an explosion went off behind them all.

"Wow!" Mina said in awe by the attack.

"Holy crap! Did they really combine their weapons!?" Someone exclaimed.

[End Music]

All of the students were enjoying the show, as the Rangers were taking down the robots like it was nothing to them. Which made the teachers disappointed as they were supposed to be future generation of heroes yet they are watching the fight like kids.

"2 minutes and 30 seconds left!" Present Mic announced which made the students scattered across the city to find more robots to destroy while others stayed behind since they are confident on passing.

"Ah, crap! Come on!" A boy said getting the attention of everyone. "We're still taking an exam!"

"You're right. Don't want to fall behind with them taking out most of the villains." Another said cracking his hands.


U.A. High School Observation Room - Morning

"Those kids are impressive." Cementoss stated. "It looks like those costumes they're wearing boosted their power rather than supporting them."

"Superhuman Strength, Superhuman Speed, Superhuman Agility, Superhuman Reflexes, Weapons summoning, Weapons Combining, Hand to hand combat skills, Swordsmanship skills, Axemanship skills, Clawsmanship skills, Lancemanship, skills, Bowgunship skills, and Element Manipulation." Aizawa listing off all of the Rangers feats. "It's almost as if those costumes are granting them multiple quirks."

That thought scared Toshinori to his very core. "No, it can't be him." He shook his head pushing off the idea.

"Yeah, there's no way a costume can increase or give a person multiple quirks." Power Loader was impressed with the costumes. "If someone made those costumes, then I would wish to pay them a visit."

"I don't think those costumes were made by anyone considering they just appeared on them." Thirteen said to him. "They weren't able to do any of this until they changed."

"You're right." Aizawa nodded in agreement. "Those devices they used must be highly advanced technology that grants quirks."

"If that's true, then this will completely change hero society as we know it." Ectoplasm said feeling it will only cause problems in the future.

"But who would make such devices and why give them to children?" Vlad King said. "This seems highly irresponsible."

"Either way...I want them in my class, especially Fukukado and Hado." Aizawa said with bluntly.

"Hey, Eraser! Don't get ahead of yourself!" Vlad King protested. "You can't have all of them! And if anything, they should be in my class! They're going fit well in there!"

"So that you can give them a pep talk about strength being the key factor of a hero? No thank you, they'll waste their potential with you teaching them." Aizawa said, which angered Vlad King.

"Why yo-" He was cut off by the principal.

"Now, Now. Let's not make a argument out of this." Nezu said stopping the argument. "We can decide on who will be in what class later. Right now, let's just focus on the exam." He said looking at the remaining time. "I think it's about time we release the Zero-pointers." Nezu said to others. "Snipe, please press the button."

"Yes sir." He said. "Well, there's still plenty of time before it's over. The real test has yet to come." Snipe said, opening a case that contained a button. He pressed it, finishing up. "Let's see how they react."


U.A. High School Ground Beta City C - Morning

The Rangers regrouped with each other until they felt the ground was shaking.

"What's going on?!" Reina yelled out.

"I don't know. But I got a bad feeling about this." Sora said.

Ayumi was the first to see it and pointed. "Uh, guys? Look!"

The others looked in the direction she was pointing and saw a gigantic robot appear in the middle of the battle center.

The students immediately ran passed them as the Rangers were looking at the 0-pointer in awe.

"Holy Mother of Megazon!" Kiba exclaimed with bulging eyes, behind his helmet.

"Oh, wow! That must be the 0-pointer!" Cyrus said seeing the number on it's body.


In Space - Alsatia's Ship

"Well, what do we have here?" Alsatia muttered as she gazed through her globe, watching as the Rangers fought off the faux villains right before turning their attention to the 0-pointer.

"It seems those foolish humans from before are participating in some sort of test." Ernesh replied as he stood by his Queen, growling out the word 'humans'.

"Are they now...?" Alsatia smiled darkly, turning her violet gaze onto the 0-pointer. "Well then, let's liven things up a bit, shall we?"

At that moment, a beam of purple lightning shot out from her ship and down towards Earth.


U.A. High School Ground Beta City C - Morning

The purple beam shot out of the sky and into the back of the 0-pointer, short circuiting it...before the robot's eyes turned purple.

"What just happened...?" Ayumi asked, right before the 0-pointer turned it's attention on the examinees and fired a purple blast from it's eyes towards them. The blast hit the area where the Rangers were, creating an explosion near them all.

"AAAAH!" They all screamed in fright and horror.

"Ah!" Cyrus gasped.

"Whoa!" Kiba yelped, as they fell over.

"Everybody, run!" Reina shouted at them.

Many of the examinees who were near to the zero-pointer began to panic as the behemoth approached. None dared attack it; everyone began to run away from the zero-pointer as it began to attack the fleeing students.


U.A. High School Observation Room - Morning

The teachers watched on in shock, confusion and horror as the 0-pointer continued to rampage.

"What the hell is going on!?" Vald King said in shock and confusion. "Since when were the 0-pointers equipped with lasers!?

"They don't!" Cementoss yelled in horror. "Something must've gone with the systems!"

"But how is that possible!?" Midnight questioned in confusion. "The 0-pointers shouldn't have malfunctioned like that! They were always checked for errors!"

"And what was that purple light that hit the 0-pointer?!" Thirteen asked in concern, wondering if that light had something to do with it.

"I don't know! But...oh God, look!" Toshinori panicked, pointing at the screen. "It's not targeting the other examinees...It's targeting those five kids!"

Aizawa stood up with narrowed eyes. "We've got to them out of there! I'll get Mic to call off it!" He said, lifting his hand to his earpiece.

"Right!"

"Wait. Not yet." Nezu spoke as he raised a paw to stop the teachers, who all looked at him in shock and anger.

"What!?" Power Loader gaped in shock. "Principal Nezu, what do you mean!? Those kids are in danger! They might be strong, but unless they have powers similar to All Might or Mount Lady, they're going to get hurt badly!"

"Just look." Nezu said, gesturing to the screen as the Rangers seemed to be planning something. "Something tells me they've got more tricks up their sleeves."

The teachers could only look at the principal, before looking at each other with uneasy expressions.


U.A. High School Ground Beta City C- Morning

"Heads up!" Sora cried out to his team right before the 0-pointer fired a laser out of its eye and destroyed a car nearby.

"Whoa!" the Rangers all gasped.

The giant machine then smashed and destroyed two buildings near the Rangers with it's hand, causing them all to turn and dive away. They all rolled along the ground, as rubble from the buildings hit it, then they all got up and stared at him.

"Something tells me that this wasn't part of the test!" Kiba guessed as he stood back up.

"Really?! What gave it away?!" Reina angrily fired back at him.

"Rangers." Katrina's voice came through their Morphers. "I sensed a high level of sorcery in your area. No doubt it's Alsatia's doing."

"Man, talk about crap timing!" Kiba groaned.

"What do we do?" Ayumi asked in this situation.

"Isn't it obivous." Sora perked up at the question as he looked at his friends. "Zords."

Hearing this made everyone look surprised by his plan. "The Zords? Don't get me wrong, that's an AWESOME plan, but don't you think that's a little overkill?" Kiba was the first to ask.

"Well, Zords were made to fight against giant monsters, I don't see a better time than now to use them. Especially since Aslatia is involved." Cyrus stated.

"Fair point." Kiba agreeing with the statement.

"Let's get to it, people!" Reina announced, clenching her fist.

"Right!" Ayumi said.

The Rangers then moved quickly to stand side by side: Sora in the middle, Cyrus and Reina on his right while Cyrus and Ayumi on his left.

"Let's do it!" Sora commanded with his teammates holding up their Morphers and sends their respected color into the sky to open up five gigantic portals of red, blue, black, yellow, and pink.

This made everyone curious about what they was doing. But soon they will find out, because they were going to be in for a big surprise.

"WE NEED PALADIN ZORD POWER, NOW!"


Command Center: Zord Hangar

Meanwhile, in the Zord Hangar, The Paladin Zords heard the call right before their eyes lit up. A portal opens up in front of each other as

The Condor Paladin Zord screeched as it flew through the red portal.

The Bull Paladin Zord then let out a moo and ran through the black portal.

The Stallion Paladin Zord neighed loudly and galloped through the blue portal.

The Lion Paladin Zord roared fierecly as it ran through the yellow portal.

The Swan Paladin Zord whistled as it flew through the pink portal.

Once all Zords were through, the portals all closed up behind them.While they were traveling through the portal, the Zords all let out various roars, screeches, and moos. The Lion Zord in the center, the Bull Zord on the right, the Condor above the Bull Zord. The Stallion Zord on the left side of the Lion Zord, and the Swan Zord flew above the Stallion Zord. The Paladin Zords roared as one upon seeing the end of the tunnel.


U.A. High School Ground Beta City C - Morning

Back in the battle center, the five titan-sized Zords appeared out of the portal as they ran through the city together.

This sight greatly shocked both the teachers and the students, mostly Toshinori which made him terrified, Nezu had dropped his tea cup from the unexpected surprise, and Aizawa whose eyes were wide like a dinner plate.

The Rangers looked up at the sky, seeing them. "Here they come!" Sora said.

The Paladin Zords all raced above the buildings, then the Lion, Bull, and Stallion landed on the ground and ran towards the battle, with the Condor and Swan Zords flying above them, all letting out animals noises.

"Hero Force, let's move!" Sora whooped.

The Rangers all jumped up and landed in their Zords cockpits, surprising the teachers and students that witnessed all of this yet again.

"So, what's the plan here?" Ayumi asked her friends

"Well, using the Megazord would be a bit overkill for an exam." Cyrus said, tilting his head.


(Command Chamber)

Katrina stared at the screen, showing two pictures of the Paladin Zords, only they were in some sort of chariot formation.

"Have no fear, Rangers. I've got something for you." Katrina explained. "I like to call it the Paladin Chariot Mode."


(U.A. High School Ground Beta City C)

The Rangers looked at their screens, which showed the formation.

"You control it by using your inner power. This way, you won't have to worry about going all out." Katrina explained.

"Wow, a new additional mode!" Cyrus uttered in surprise.

"That saves us a lot of trouble." Reina said, holding her fist up. "Ready, guys?"

"We're all over it." Kiba said.

"You know it." Ayumi said, nodding.

"Let's go." Sora said, rubbing his hands together.

The screen split into five, from top left to right: Cyrus and Ayumi; from bottom left to right: Reina and Kiba; to the center: Sora.

"Paladin Chariot Mode now!" they shouted, pressing a button.

(Cue Hero Force Theme - Instrumental)

The Lion and Stallion Paladin Zords roared and neighed, respectively as they ran forward in front of the Bull Paladin Zord, who mooed loudly as its back opened up into two pieces and skidded down on the wheels on its legs.

The Swan Paladin Zord then swooped down while twisting its wings and wrapping them around the Bison Paladin Zord's head. The Condor Paladin Zord then flew down, then landed on the Bull Paladin Zord's back, spreading its wings out as fire spiraled around them. Finally, the flames launched out and attached themselves to the Lion and Stallion Paladins' backs, forming the chariot formation.

The Rangers were soon in the cockpit of the Megazord. "All right guys, let's go get him!" Sor shouted.

"Right!" the others, said in unison

Once again for a second time, everyone could only watch in shock at the robotic creatures formed into a odd chariot, with all of them turning pale white in the process.


U.A. High School Observation Room - Morning

In the observation room, the teachers were now beyond terrified by what Sora and the other Rangers were capable of now, especially Nezu, All Might, & Aizawa who weren't easily scared and Power Loader who almost fainted from the highly advanced robot that puts the best robotic technology to shame. They seen many things in their career as heroes, but this just take the cake.


Meanwhile the 0-Pointer fired lasers out of its eye, which shot towards the Paladin Chariot. The Zords charged forward as explosion came up from the ground all over them.

"Stallion Zord, attack!" Cyrus commanded.

The Stallion Paladin Zord neighed, then fired stream of water from its mouth, hitting the faux villain in the chest.

"Go, Lion Zord!" Kiba ordered.

The Lion Paladin Zord then released a bolt of lighting, that smashed directly into the wet parts of the 0-Pointer, short circuiting it all over.

The Paladin Chariot then came to a halt as the Rangers watched the 0-pointer remain on its feet, despite the massive damage it received.

"It's still back up?" Cyrus said suprised.

"This sure can take a beating, I'll give it that." Reina whistled in awe.

"Too bad that we got more firepower." Kiba snickered. "I'd say it's time we turn that oversized tin can into a really dented oversized tin can."

"What's the plan, Sora?" Ayumi asked their leader.

"Remember how we beat those Batzlers and Bulldozertron? By working as one." Sora said, before clutching his fist. "Let's do it again!"

The Paladin Zords all roared or screeched, just as the the 0-pointer tried to charged straight for them.

"Alright, Hero Force!" The Red Ranger said, pressing down on a red button.

"United Blast!" the Rangers shouted, pressing down on their color-coded button.

The 0-pointer then reached the Paladin Zords and swung a fist at them when...

"FIRE!" the Rangers shouted, pointing their fists at hit.

The Zords fired beams of their rightful color from their mouths, all hitting the 0-pointer.

The fist that the faux villain swung was incerated with seconds before it's whole body went flying into the air. The 0-pointer begins to spark electricity from all over it's body due to the damage it took and started to fall over to the ground.

And then upon hitting the ground, the 0-pointer exploded in a firey giant explosion that completely destroyed the robot, leaving no trace of it behind.

[End Music]

"Yeah!" the Rangers whooped, celebrating their victory.

"All right!" Cyrus whooped, jumping up.

"Bitchin!" Reina cheered, pumping a fist.

"Hell yeah, baby!" Kiba cheered in celebration.

"Woo hoo!" Ayumi exclaimed happily.

"Hero Force Rangers." Sora grinned in truimph. "Victory is ours!"

Present Mic tapping a button on his watch. "And that's it...!" He raised his hand, jumping as he broadcasted his voice. "Tiiimes uuuuup! And with that ladies and gentlemen, the U.A. entrance exam comes to a close!"

Despite the announcement Present Mic, no one moved from their spots as they were still trying to process everything that they witnessed. There was one to many surprises after another with these Hero Force Rangers. But all the students can say one thing for sure, is that this was the most amazing thing they ever seen in their entire lives.


U.A. High School Observation Room- Morning

The teachers who were observing were in complete beyond shock at the Paladin Zords' display of power.

"What the hell just happen?!" Present Mic yelled in his ear piece to the other heroes, breaking them out of their stunned states.

"I have no idea." Thirteen silently said in her sit.

"I can't believe it.." Power Loader quietly said before yelling. "THOSE GIANT ROBOTS REALLY WERE EVEN BIGGER IN PERSON! AND IF THAT WASN'T ENOUGH, THAT FIGHT WAS COMPLETELY ONE-SIDED!" He was clearly freaking out.

"Maijima, please calm down." Ectoplasm trying to calm down his fellow hero.

"CALM?! HOW CAN YOU EXPECT ME TO BE CALM?!" Power Loader shouted back at him. "FOR ALL OF MY YEARS OF BEING A DEVELOPER, I HAVE NEVER WITNESSED SOMETHING LIKE THIS BEFORE! HELL, NOT EVEN THE TOP SCIENTISTS AT THE I-ISLAND WERE ABOUT TO CREATE SOMETHING LIKE GIANT ROBOTIC ANIMALS!"

"Okay. You make a fair point, but please control yourself?" Cementoss asked.

"Yeah, times like these is when you need to stay the calmest." Snipe added on.

"Aizawa..." Vlad said to his rival getting his attention. "They will ALL be in your class." He said in a stunned state.

"You don't want them anymore?" Aizawa asked, a bit curious on why Vlad King would rather throw all the Rangers on him since he was arguing early about them being in his class.

"Those kids scare me. I don't want my class to even train with them... It's just... too much baggage to handle." Vlad King answered honestly.

Unlike Vlad King, Aizawa was more content on bringing the teens to his class. The man nodded in response. All five Rangers in his class wasn't a bad deal at all.

"Even though they're basically vigilantes and broke a number of rules during the test, you still have to admit that was pretty impressive." Midnight said being impressed by the Ranger's show of power.

Meanwhile, despite his fear, All Might was looking at the Hero Force Rangers with narrowed eyes.

'They have so much power! But didn't Nezu say they were quirkless? And why do they have costumes similar to each other? With that many range of abilities....There's only one man I know who could do that.'  Toshinori thought to himself. 'Though, how they did make those costumes appear like that? They had similar devices to help them change. I have to watch those five carefully.'

Before anyone said anything else a burst of laughter fills the room. It was Nezu who was madly laughing maniacally like he had heard the best joke of his life.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA...!" Nezu still laughing. "This has... HAHA... to be one... HA... of the most greatest show... HAHA... of powers that U.A. had... HA... seen in years since All Might... HAHAHA!" He was laughing between his sentences.

"Nezu, this is not something we can take lightly." Toshinori worriedly asked. "The way they fight almost reminded me of 'him'."

Nezu then begin to calm down his laughter. "When we had are spy droids scanned them, it didn't detect any quirks in either of them." Nezu said which surprised the teachers. "Those devices they used much be the key to their abilities."

"So... they somehow invented devices that acts like Quirks? That impossible," Snipe stated. "Even if it is, it would be revolutionary and would be in the hands of the quirk scientists. Why would those this kids have them?"

"And more importantly, why do they look like watches?" Cementoss wondered.

"And how do they have giant robots?" Thirteen said. "Those seems way to dangerous to be used by children."

"It would be much more quicker to find out if we just asked them." Ectoplasm suggested.

"No, we're not going to do anything yet." Nezu calmly said which surprised the other teacher.

"What do you mean?" Toshinori asked.

"I'm saying now is not the best time to ask them questions with the exam over now." Nezu said to them. "We don't known what they are fully capable of and there nothing more foolish than to blindly fighting a foe without knowing the existence of their powers. We must prepare our selves for this probably." He finished explaining his reasoning. "Plus, I'd rather not have the Fukukado and Hado family breathing down our necks for this."

Well most of them didn't like the idea of letting those kids walk away without getting answers. But couldn't argue with the principle logic and thinks it was the best choice of action.

"I agree with Nezu. We will have to prepare for these problem children, if we want to get are answers out of them." Aizawa said in agreement. "We should probably inform Joke and Nejire about this as well."

Toshinori was still feeling cautious about them because of their strange abilities. He's praying that he was wrong about them being connected to 'him'.

To Be Continued...

Chapter Text

Do you like superheroes? Men in colorful underwear, and women with skimpy, tight outfits battling against villains who try to take over the world or just want to destroy it because they're mentally insane?

Too bad you're not born in this dimension. It all began in Keikei city in China, with the news that a bio-luminescent baby was born! The cause remains unclear to this day. After that, "exceptional" individuals with extraordinary powers and abilities started popping up all over the world! As time passed, these individuals were a time dozen, but it didn't matter to them. The amazing theory of superpowers became a reality. And at the present time, 80% of the world's population consists of these superhumans with special abilities.

With these powers came those who would use them for evil purposes. The world was in chaos! Crime was at an exploding rate. While the nations struggled to overhaul their new laws, a group of brave individuals took up the profession they had once only dreamed about: Superheroes!

But with a world filled with these superhuman, the Heroes became a dime dozen. But this is the story of a group of teens who would soon stand out above all others.

Teens who would become...

"Power Ranger Hero Force!"

--Narrator before intro

Hero Force features Alsatia, an intergalatic space royal and her generals as they prepare a massive invasion on Earth. However, Katrina, a supernatural A.I created by the Morphin Masters, decides to calls upon five teenagers with attitude to form the ultimate hero team...The Power Rangers Hero Force!

When the teens morph into Power Rangers, they gain superhuman strength, speed, agility, elemental abilities & mastery over martial arts. In addition to defending Earth against Alsatia's force, other monstrous factions emerge to challenge the Hero Rangers. In order to face these new threats, the Power Rangers Hero Force unlock powerful battle modes to fight their adversaries.

Earth ImpactReina forms gauntles made entirely of sharp skin piercing rocks over her hands and then lunges at her opponent with incredible speed and delivers several punches, causing high amounts of damage.

GroundshakerReina covers her axe with earth, mostly rock, and at one end with a bull-shaped head shape. While doing so, she slams it around, causing damage to all nearby areas.

Personality:

A straightforward athlete and tomboy, Reina lives for the thrill life has to offer and is willing to take up the challenges that come.

Compared to her teammates, she is quite reserved, introverted, and sardonic, making up for her lack of conversation with irony and sarcasm. Due to her athleticism, Reina is resourceful in situations with and without the use of powers. She is also quite adaptive, most notably she utilized her newfound abilities proficiently when battling one-on-one, despite only recently becoming a Ranger. However, as a result of her tastes, Reina has developed a sarcastic attitude, making her not the most approachable person to be around; with the the exception of a few.

Unlike her ssiter, Emi, Reina tends to be sarcastic and recalcitrant. She is also incredulous, to the point that she is not willing to accept limits, and at worst she can be highly opinionated. But deep down, she is noble and honorable, so she will not condone an unscrupulous act.

She is quite strong-willed and ultimately protective of her friends. Even though she can have a hard time dealing with them, she will put their safety above all else, especially to the possibility of failure. When under such a circumstance, she drops everything and becomes serious, quickly taking control of a situation by sheer will and determination. Indeed, she becomes an effective leader when the team needs help, carefully choosing what to say to her friends to get them to act.

However, what lies behind her thick shell is perhaps an immensely compassionate heart towards her friends, especially Ayumi, who she forms a sisterly bond with, despite their different personalities. Despite her tough status, Reina is capable of letting loose and enjoying life. Though she tends to have an embarrassed side, like when she revealed to her friends that she likes cooking.

Pulse of the StreamCyrus fires a blast of water from his hands, can be used in either civilian or ranger form.

Tsunami HitWith the full power of Water, Cyrus performs a spinning slash against his opponents energized with water energy.

Personality:

Cyrus is a smart "tech" guy as well as an intelligent, analytical, and precarious boy scout. He is the most responsible out of the group, but he still can be wild with them. He also comes off as "nerdy" as he is shown to enjoy science; in discovery, books, modern inventions, but especially for the history of Power Rangers. He is often called a geek at times, yet he is proud of it, and is very down to earth.

He was branded a freak by other children for thinking he could contribute anything in the world, due to his Quirkless status, and was thus frequently picked on. Because of this, he always seemed to be in his sister, Nejire's shadow. Too timid to defend himself, his friends would come to his aid and protect him. This, coupled with his frail physique, was a source of much shame for Cyrus, leading him to have poor self-esteem and to believe that he was a burden to others. Because of this, Cyrus has always been very eager to prove his worth. As a child, he hoped that one day he would be able to consider himself a true equal to his friends.

Cyrus is a brave and compassionate person. He is always there to help others, especially his friends, who he considers his second family. He also shows a lot of love and appreciation for others. He is also very level-headed, keeping Sora and Reina under control whenever their emotions get the better of them.

Cry of Lightning: Kiba fires a blast of lighting from his hands, can be used in either his civilian or ranger form

Thunder BurstTapping into the full power of Thunder, Kiba spreads his arms and sends out a wave of Lighting energy to overwhelm the opponent

Personality:

An enthusiastic comic book fan, Kiba is incredibly eccentric, zany, childish, and rather boisterous. Despite having no parents and growing up with grandparents, he has a very lovable and friendly persona, with his own sense of humor, and is extremely laid-back, especially when compared to his friends. Due to his nature, he is quite optimistic and not prone to panic easily, so he can see the brighter side of things, even in the midst of a disaster.

Though the other members of the team ultimately care a great deal for Kiba, they have found him to be overbearing with his erratic quirks, especially Reina, finding Kiba's lack of regard borderline annoying and the latter seeing him as an idiot.

What he lacks in certain knowledge, he makes up with acute and deductive reasoning due to his passion and he can quickly analyze the circumstances of the situation from his knowledge of comic books and storytelling, giving him an unorthodox, but valuable way of thinking for the team.

Though, there are times when he can show a far more serious and intense side, especially when it comes to his friends and goes to any length to defend them.

He is shown to be a huge and fanatic of all things heroic, fantastic, and monstrous. He indulges in collecting a variety of memorabilia devoted to comic books and Japanese entertainment in his room. He also has a habit of calling out his attacks in battle, like that of an anime hero. Another of his "fanboy" characteristics is that he likes to make up "shipping names", which is merging two person's names together to refer to them if they were a couple.

U.A. High School Ground Beta City C - Morning

Back at the battle center, the Rangers left their Paladin Zords' cockpits looking back at the gigantic robotic creature.

"Thanks, you guys! We'll call you again if we need you!" Sora shouted, throwing them a mock salute.

"Yeah, you guys were the MVPs of today!" Reina agreed, resting an elbow on the brunette's shoulder.

The Zords let out roars, grunts and screeches, accepting the thanks before fading in a golden light, returning back to the Zord Hangar, which surprised everyone.

Meanwhile, Cyrus, Kiba, and Ayumi stood next to their friends and watched everything unfold.

"Looks like we're done." Kiba said with a grin.

"Thank goodness." Cyrus sighs in relief.

"Today was pretty eventful," Ayumi said in agreement, placing her arms behind her back.

"I'm only going to say this once." Sora then turned to face his friends. "THAT WAS AWESOME!" He said out loud with a grin.

"Damn right, it was." Kiba said, as both boys high-fived.

"Whooo!" Ayumi cheered, pulling Reina in a side hug.

I know we already had our first Zord battle against Bulldozertron 2.0, but today's Zord battle was amazing." Cyrus happily said. "Now, I understand why the Rangers loved their Zords so much!"

"You don't mess with the Hero Force, baby!" Reina whopped in excitement.

As the Rangers were talking to each other, the students were giving them a weird stare, like they were looking at some kind of freaks of nature. Soon, the applicants murmured about the five Power Rangers.

"Man, I can't believe they are those Rangers guys from before." A boy said.

"Yeah. Were they allowed to wear those costumes?" Someone asked.

"Don't know, but it was awesome." A guy said.

"And those animal robot thingies were insane." A girl said.

Mina was slightly listening to the others and looking at the Rangers in awe.

"Holy crap! That was crazy, but it was so awesome!" She thought, looking at Kiba. "I really hope he and his friends get accepted into U.A."

"Power Down." All the Rangers said de-morph out of their outfits, surprising everyone again.

"Wow, I'm not as tired as I was when I first de-morph." Sora said to himself, only feeling slightly tired.

"Hey, same here!" Cyrus said, looking at his hands.

"All that power, and it vanished in an instant." Reina said, gripping her fists.

"I guess all that training Katrina put us through is paying off." Kiba said to them.

"Good thing, too." Ayumi nodded. "I'm not sure if we could've pulled that off without it."

"Good work-very nice. You're heroes in my eyes-every one of you!" The students turn their heads to see an old woman wandering through the crowd, her cane clicking on the ground with each step.

Her name is Chiyo Shuzenji, also known as Youthful Heroine: Recovery Girl.

She is a short, elderly woman with gray hair styled into a netted bun, a large syringe poking diagonally out of it to the left. She has a notably small nose and eyes, which are usually drawn as two little dashes, and a long mouth with defined nasolabial folds. She wears a doctor's lab coat and a dress with yellow and red vest-like designs on either side, two yellow buttons, and a belt with a pink "R"-shaped buckle. She wears pink boots and has a helmet around the sides of her head, a purple-tinted visor joining it over her eyes. In addition, she walks with a cane designed like a syringe.

She dug in her pocket, placing gummies in a boy's hand. "Here, reward yourselves. Have some gummies!" The old lady said.

"Who's she?" Sora asked, looking at the old woman.

"Oh, wait! I heard of her!" Cyrus chimed in with awe. "That's Recovery Girl. She's a venture Pro Hero whose Quirk, apparently, allows her to amplify and speed up the human body's natural healing process by planting a kiss on the injured person!"

"Seriously....kisses?" Reina raised an eyebrow at this.

"Like the ones Grandmothers give?" Ayumi wonders with a head tilt.

"Huh. That's neat." Kiba shrugged.

Sora thought that was an impressive power to have. To heal any injuries anytime you want could help out a lot of people. 

"Wow, you really know your stuff."

Blinking at the new voice, the Rangers turned around to see a petite, fair-skinned girl with a slender build standing behind them. She had triangular, lazy-looking onyx eyes with notably long lower eyelashes and rather small eyebrows. Her hair was short, only around chin length, and is dark purple in color with an asymmetrical fringe, and two reflections shaped like heartbeat monitor waves on either side of her head. Her most prominent features are the flexible, plug-like earphone jacks hanging from each of her earlobes at the end of two thin cords. She was dressed in punk rock street clothes.

This was Kyoka Jiro.

"So, you're the guys who basically demolished all of those bots." She assumed.

"That'd be us!" Sora joked lightly. "It's nice to meet you, umm...?"

"Kyoka Jiro." The rock girl replied with a smile. 

"Sora Ukashi." The Red Ranger introduced before gesturing to the others. "These are my friends."

"Name's Reina Fukukado." The green-haired girl said with a nod.

"Hey, my name's Cyrus Hado." the bluenette greeted her with a smile.

"Kiba Mason." The blond nodded to her.

"I'm Ayumi Suzuni. Nice to meet you." Ayumi introduced herself with a smile.

"Hey there." Jiro awkwardly greeted in return. She then turned her head to Sora. "Hey, can I ask you a question?" Jiro asked, getting a nod from the boy. "Those Rangers guys from a while back that saved those people....Are you really them?"

"Surprise!" Kiba remarked jokingly while doing jazz hands.

Recovery Girl walked up to the Rangers said. "Hello, dearies. Looks like all of you are in tip-top shape. "

"Yeah, I guess you could say that." Sora said, scratching his cheek. "Anyway, we'll be getting out of your hair now. Come on, guys. Let's get out of here." He said to his teammates, and they began to leave.

"Hey, wait!" Mina yelled out, stopping the Rangers as they turned to her.

"Oh, hey." Kiba greeted the familiar pink-skinned girl. "What's up?"

"So, I wanted to say that you guys were amazing out there! Like Wow!" Mina praised their performance. "Especially those giant robots!"

"It was nothing, really." Cyrus smiled while rubbing his head.

"Yeah, you should see us on our best day." Reina snorted with a smirk.

"So, who are you guys?" Pony asked them as the other students listened as well.

"We're the Power Rangers Hero Force." Sora said to her.

"Power Rangers Hero Force?" Everyone thought, remembering them calling themselves that during their morph.

"Are you some type of heroes or something?" Jiro asked.

"Sorry, but we can't tell you anymore than we have to." Cyrus said, not wanting to push the conversation forward.

"Yeah, so sorry." Ayumi said to them.

"We'll be heading out now." Sora said to them. "See ya guys later!"

With that said, the Hero Force Rangers left the battle center, leaving the others with more questions than answers.

Meanwhile, Jirou just looked on at the Rangers as they walked away to the exit. She was hoping to talk to them more and get to know them.

She didn't know why, but the Rangers interested her in more ways than one.

'Power Rangers Hero Force? That sounds like a hero team name.' Recovery girl thought, looking at the Rangers leave. 'Who are they?' She wondered.


In Space - Alsatia's Ship

"Well now, this is a new development." Said Alsatia after she and Ernesh had just witnessed the Rangers' Paladin Chariot destory the corrupted 0-pointer.

"So these 'Rangers' seemed to have found more ways to fight back, then." Ernesh commented with narrowed eyes.

"Indeed." Alsatia said, as she sat on her throne, leg crossed over the other. "It seems we have some worthy opponents."

"And I see it as an opportunity for us, your Highness."

Hearing the voice, both Alsatia and Ernesh turned their heads to see Igeron standing with his arms crossed and his face carrying a small smirk.

"Igeron." Enresh snorted at the centaur alien.

Alsatia gained a look of mild curiosity. "What did you mean when you said that this was 'an opportunity'?"

"Yes, that giant robot did fail to destroy the Rangers, but it did allow us to see what those colorful humans are capable of." Igeron told them as he trotted into the room. "Plus, if we can get our hands on the remains of the robot, then that rusted can of bolts could build us something useful."

Alsatia leaned back in her chair calmly, humming as she spoke, "Hmm... You make a couple of interesting points, Igeron. Tell me, how close is Scrozzle to finishing his 'Reanimizer'?"

"Hopefully, very soon, My Queen." Igeron replied back. 'Along with my new equipment.'

"When you return to check on his progress, have him inform me about the device's completion. I have a plan for him and for his Reanimizer." Alsatia said, as her chair rotated around to face the Earth outside of the window.

Igeron gave her a small bow. "Consider it done." He spoke as he turned around to exit the room, the doors closing behind him.


Ukashi Resident- Afternoon

1 week later

It's been over a week since the exam. Sora was at home practicing martial arts in the backyard. The brunette didn't know if he and his teammates had passed or failed. He knew they'd done pretty well on the written exam and took out a lot of faux villains, but waiting to know the results was killing him.

Spinning around to kick the air, Sora sighed out loud as he wiped the sweat from his brow.

"It's been over a week now. I wonder when they're going to send out the exam results?" Sora said to himself. "Gah, waiting sucks!"

It was at that moment that Serena stuck her head outside of the house door. "Sora, can you come inside for a second!" She called out.

Sora stopped his training and headed into the house to see what his mom wanted.

"You need something, Mom?" He asked.

" A letter from U.A. arrived for you." Serena said, handing him a letter. "What's that about?"

"Oh, right...." the Red Ranger said in surprise, realizing an important detail that he forgot to inform his adoptive mother. "I applied to enroll into U.A."

The woman looked at the boy in shock. "I'm sorry, what?"

Sora let out a sigh as he decided to come clean. "Me and others decided that we're all going to attend U.A and become the first ever Quirkless heroes."

"Yeah, and when were you going to tell me that you were applying to U.A?" Said Serena, who folded her arms as Sora had a nervous expression on his face.

"Oh! Umm... Surprise!"

"Sor, when were you going to tell me about this? I thought we were a team."

"We are, we are! I was going to tell you, when I came back home from school. But you were busy with work and that attack downtown happened. Then I ended up getting caught up in training and whatnot--- how's this going..."

"Terrible, but A for effort." Serena replied as she put a hand on her son's cheek, rubbing it. " Next time just tell me what's going on with you okay?"

"Yeah, I know."

"But in all honesty, why are you applying to a school that trains heroes?" Serena asked, with worry laced in her tone.

The red Ranger clenched the envelope in his hand. "I just want to show people that a Quirkless person like me can be a hero." He replied with conviction.

"Then, why couldn't you just apply to be a police officer, like me? Or a firefighter?"

Sora shook his head. "You have your own way of helping. And I just want to help people in my own way. So please, trust me on this?"

Serena looked at her foster son's eyes and saw nothing but determination and conviction in them, something she'd only seen in a handful of people. After a few seconds of thinking about it, Serena sighed in reluctant acceptance and spoke up. "Ok, I trust you. But what about Ayumi and the others? Do they know what you're trying to do?"

"Oh, they know." Sora simply told her before heading to his room, closing the door in the process. He sat at his desk. "Here goes nothing." He ripped it in half before a thin disc fell out. It clattered on the desk, emanating a blue light as it activated.

"A projection?" He both said before the screen displays a dark purple-haired woman wearing a red mask and a hero costume that looked similar to one of a traditional dominatrix, winking at the camera with a sultry pose and a flogger-style whip in her right hand.

"Hello, cutie~" Midnight said in a flirting tone.

Sora just blinked multiple times with widened eyes.

"Who the heck is she?" He asked confusingly.

"I am the R-rated heroine: Midnight, one of the teachers at U.A., and I'm here to show you your results of the U.A. entrance exam!" She said.

Sora prepared himself for this as he watched Midnight swing her whip towards the TV screen to her right.

"For the written portion, you passed with flying colors without getting a single answer wrong. with particular distinction in the General knowledge segment. Never before has that happened in U.A.'s history, so very nice job handsome." Midnight pauses her lips with narrow eyes and a grin. "This is where things get exciting~"

"Exciting?" Sora questions the R-rated heroine, even though it's a projection.

"Okay, as you already knew, this portion of the exam has you defeating faux villains in order to earn points. You destroyed more robots than any other examinee there, and you were impressive and youthful~. After running the calculations, this would make your total score tallied up to 141 Villain Points! Which is more than enough to pass!" She excitedly said.

Sora's eyes slightly widened in shock. He knew he lost track of his score after he morphed and trashed the robots.

"Now then, you may be wondering, why did I call them Villain points specifically?" Midnight asks before tugging at the strings of her whip while wiggling her hips in excitement. "Because, handsome, that's not your final score~"

"Eh?" The brunette was caught by surprise.

"Yes, in order to score points on the exam, you do need to take care of those robots. However, it's not graded solely on Villain Points." Midnight swings her whip to the other side before her irises contract in exhilaration. "There are also points for people who do the right thing and risk their lives for others. We call them Rescue points!"

"Rescue points?" Sora said in confusion.

"Those points, in particular, are given by a panel of judges. Heroism like helping others when they get into an accident is the basic ability we at U.A. look at. The more heroic the rescue is, the more Rescue points the judges give and examine." She explained.

Sora nodded in agreement with what she said. Heroes do more than fight villains, they help the innocent and protect the community.

"Right, let's take a look at your good deeds, shall we~?" Midnight says before cracking her whip at the screen next to her again, revealing footage of Sora helping the other examinees before morphing. "Here you are saving a few examinees from faux villain attacks. The judges decided to give you a few Rescue points for that deed. Next and lastly..." Midnight began before her breathing started to get hot with a little bit of drool trickling from her bottom lip. "My most favorite highlight yet... This incredible display where you and your teammates summoned giant robots to destroy the 0-pointer in a spectacular display of power~!" A video was shown of Sora and the other Rangers' actions during the exam.

Unable to contain it any longer, Midnight hugs herself while squealing in delight and twisting her head and body side-to-side.

"Yes! YES~! It was such a youthful display~! The way you cut and slashed apart those robots like they were paper, All while making heroic battle cries~! Absolutely lovely and adorable~! It turned me on so much~!Midnight yelled with a large flush across her face.

"....D-Did she just say it turns her on!?" Sora thought with a sweat drop as he was watching Midnight getting worked up.

But then, Sora noticed a hand of what appeared to him to be a runner of the recording giving a stop motion to the R-rated heroine as if to tell her to tone it down, making her snap her head towards him with white eyes and shark teeth.

"What?! Will you keep your mind out of the gutter?! I can't help but find the display to be so epic! So what if it's a tad bit biased of me to root for the boy?!" She comedically told off-screen.

The red Ranger couldn't help but sweat drop from what he saw.

Midnight then coughs into her fist and looks back at the camera. "Anyway, after performing such a... Wonderful display, The judges loved it so much, that they've all agreed to issue you an additional 35 Rescue points~! And if you add them all together with you stopping the 0-pointer, you get a grand total of 80 Rescue points!"

Sora was a bit surprised by how many Rescue points he's gotten. Stopping that 0-pointer with the Paladin Chariot Mode helped him out in the end.

"Now then, for your final score!" Midnight announces before swinging her whip upwards. "If we take the 141 Villain Points you've earned destroying faux villains, and add them together with the 80 Rescue Points you’ve earned from your giant robot battle, your score is a grand total of…” Midnight was silent for a moment before swinging her whip forward so it was pointing at the camera. "221 points! Which puts you in first place on the entrance exam!" Then the scores of the entrance exam were shown.

1st: Sora Ukashi - Villain Points: 141 + Rescue Points: 80 = 221 Points

2nd: Reina Fukukado - Villain Points: 130 + Rescue Points: 90 = 220 Points

3rd:   Cyrus Hado Villain Points: 130 + Rescue Points: 85 = 215 Points

4th: Kiba Mason- Villain Points: 130 + Rescue Points: 85 = 215 Points

5th: Ayumi Suzuni- Villain Points: 130 + Rescue Points: 85 = 215 Points

6th: Katsuki Bakugo- Villain Points: 77 + Rescue Points: 0 = 77 Points

7th: Eijiro Kirishima- Villain Points: 39 + Rescue Points: 35 = 74 Points

8th: Ochaco Uraraka- Villain Points: 28 + Rescue Points: 45 = 73 Points

9th: Ibara Shiozaki- Villain Points: 36 + Rescue Points: 32 = 68 Points

10th: Itsuka Kendo- Villain Points: 25 + Rescue Points: 40 = 65 Points

11th: Tenya Iida- Villain Points: 52 + Rescue Points: 9 = 61 Points

12th: Izuku Midoriya-Villain Points: 0 + Rescue Points: 60 = 60 Points

Sora's eyes widened in surprise at the score he saw. He got first place. That was something the old him never would have imagined if he didn't have his Ranger powers. Not only that, but he and his friends made it to the Top 5! And...wait, how come Izuku didn't have any Villain points?

"But that's not all cutie~!" Midnight said, getting his attention.

Sora looked back at the hologram.

"Not only did you come in first place on the entrance exam by a large margin, but you also managed to beat All Might's previous 220 record by 1 point!" Midnight announced licking her lips.

"I beat the big guy's old record?" Sora muttered in surprise. He beat the Number One hero's record.

"Therefore, Sora Ukashi. You have been accepted into U.A. High School's Heroes Course, Class 1-A!" Midnight said before giving him an alluring wink and a heartwarming smile. "I look forward to seeing you, Ukashi. For this is your Hero Academia~."

Sora couldn't help but smile from the results of the exam. They got in. They all got in, and they can finally become true Power Rangers!

Filled with some much happiness, he threw his fists in the air and shouted at the top of his lungs. "YYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS!"

However, he saw the video change from Midnight to a small white animal that Sora couldn't tell if it was a bear, a mouse, or something else.

"That's right. It's me, Nezu, the one who could be a dog or a mouse or a bear, but more importantly... I'm the principal!" Nezu greeted, happily.

Sora gaped with wide eyes. "The Principal!?"

"Hello, Young Ukashi." Nezu said, drawing Sora's attention. "I would like to congratulate you and the rest of the Power Rangers Hero Force members on a job well done with the exam. If possible I would like to have a meeting with you and the rest of your team before school starts. So, please come to the school tomorrow at 11:30. I will also be inviting most of the U.A. staff members and a few other people to this meeting. I look forward to seeing you all there!"

The recording then cut off after that, leaving the brunette in wonder.

"Katrina," Sora said, pulling up his Morpher. "You catch that?"

"I did. It must have something to do with what the five of you did at the entrance exam." Katrina assumed. "If they're calling a meeting with so many Pro heroes in one place, they probably want to question you all about your Ranger powers."

"So what do we do? Tell them everything about the Power Rangers?" He asked the hologram.

"...That might be the only option we have," Katrina said, not seeing any other way out of this situation. "But more importantly, you might want to contact the others and fill them in as well."

Sora nodded before pulling out his phone to text the others.

[Hero Force Chat Room]

Ryu (Sora): Guys, we have a situation.

SuperGirl (Reina): What happened?

Joker (Kiba): Wait, wait. Before that, did you guys pass?

Princess (Ayumi): Yep! ;)

SuperGirl (Reina): Same here.

Brainstorm (Cyrus): Same here. You too, Kiba?

Joker (Kiba): You know it!

Ryu (Sora): I did too, but that's not important, right now.

Super Girl: (Reina) What's going on?

Ryu (Sora): Principal Nezu just invited us to a meeting with him and some other Pro Heroes.

 Brainstorm (Cyrus) Yeah, I got that invite too. But he also invited my sister to that meeting, as well. 

 SuperGirl (Reina): Same here with my sister. Ugh. I can already imagine what she’s going to say to me if she finds out that I’m a Power Ranger.

Joker (Kiba): What we did at the entrance exam wasn't exactly normal. XD

Princess (Ayumi): Yeah, we all morph in front of everyone. Not to mention the Zord battle.

Sora looked down at his Morpher and asked. "Did we make a mistake summoning our Zords?"

"Well, it might've been a little over the top, but the past Rangers probably would have done the same thing myself." Katrina answered. "But in any case, if they're asking for all of you to come, then they probably want answers."

"Which means we would have to spill the beans about the Power Rangers." Sora thought.

They made it a rule in their group to not disclose too much information on the Power Rangers if possible. But if U.A. is involved they don't have a choice.

Joker (Kiba): So what do we do, Fearless Leader?

Ryu (Sora): Katrina said that we might have to tell them everything. And I mean everything.

Super Girl (Reina): Are you sure that's a good idea?

Brainstorm (Cyrus): Didn't we agree not to say anything about the Power Rangers to anyone?

Princess (Ayumi): Yeah, but if we want to get into U.A...then we don't have a choice but to talk.

Joker (Kiba): That makes sense. They probably saw us morph in the exam too.

SuperGirl (Reina): Probably. So when do they want to meet us?

Ryu (Sora): Tomorrow at 11:30, so don't be late.

Super Girl/ Brainstorm/ Joker/ Princess: Right!

The Next Day

Sora, Reina, Cyrus, Kiba, and Ayumi were making their way to U.A., wearing street clothes, thinking about the upcoming conversation they were going to have. They decided to let Sora and Katrina do most of the talking, and prepare to reveal the truth about the Power Rangers.

"So we're really doing this?" Kiba asked, looking back at his friends. "Just making sure that we're on the same page."

"We don't have a choice." Sora said back to him.

"I guess this is what we get for showing off our abilities." Cyrus said.

"Yeah." Ayumi uttered as she was lightly hopping on her toes. "Oh, man. I'm so nervous!"

"Stop whining. Woman up." Reina bluntly told them.

"Looks like they had someone waiting for us." Katrina said. "Alright Rangers, prepare yourselves."

When they made it to the entrance, they saw Cementoss standing next to the gate.

"Who's the rock?" Kiba questioned with a head tilt.

"I think that's the Cement Hero: Cementoss!" Cyrus responded back, upon seeing the man.

As the five walked up to the gate entrance, Cementoss nodded at them.

"Ah, you're here." Cementoss said, seeing the 5 Rangers walking up to them. "I have your school I.D.s here so it will let you through the gate and give you access to other facilities on the campus. We figured we would give it to you all now since you'll be coming here anyway." He said handing them each their own I.D.s as they took them.

"Thanks, sir." Sora said with a slight nod.

"Thanks as well." Reina said in a pleasant tone.

"Thank you, sir!" Cyrus said bowing in respect.

"Thanks, Mr Stone!" Said Kiba before getting hit on the head by Reina.

"Thank you, Mr. Cementoss." Ayumi said, giving a little curtsy.

"Don't mention it. And by the way, you all did an excellent job on the exam." Cementoss said to them. "Now please follow me. Everyone is waiting for us." He said walking into the gate.

With a unison nod, the Rangers followed him from behind as Cementoss led them into the school and to the conference room.


U.A. High School Conference Room- Afternoon

When they arrived, Cementoss opened the door revealing multiple people sitting down at a long table, waiting for the Power Rangers to arrive.

Nezu, EraserHead, Toshinori, Midnight, Snipe, Thirteen, Power Loader, Recovery Girl, Vlad King, Ectoplasm, Present Mic, Cementoss, & 5 other people.

The first one was a man named Ryo Inui, also known as the Hunting Dog Hero: Hound Dog.

He has the appearance of a dog due to his Quirk. He has scruffy blond hair sticking straight out behind his head. He also wears a muzzle over his slightly pointed snout in his hero costume.

The second was a man named Naomasa Tsukauchi, a detective of the Musutafu police force.

He is a tall man with short, black hair and somewhat rectangular black eyes. He is wearing a white long-sleeved button-up shirt and black pants.

The last few was a trio of slightly older teens and based of their uniforms, they were also students of U.A. High School.

One was a tall young man with a very muscular build who possessed a number of noticeable scars around his lower arms. His design is very unique due to his blue oval-shaped eyes, drawn in a simplistic style with no visible sclera, and nose which is prominently rounder than most others. He has blonde hair, the top part of which is arranged in a cowlick, while the bottom section is worn swept backward.

His name is Mirio Togata, also known as Lemillion.

The other was a tall young man with rather pale skin. His ears are longer than most, their tips pointy and somewhat elf-like. He had messy, indigo hair, which sticks out behind his head, and thin, tired-looking eyes, partially covered by his bangs despite the fact that they're supposed to be split so as to not impair his vision. His shoulders are usually hunched, and he avoids making eye contact with people.

His name is Tamaki Amajiki, also known by his hero name Suneater.

Another one was a fair-skinned girl of average height with wide, curious eyes. Her upper eyelashes are long and thick, and her irises are a royal blue. Her hair is periwinkle, and it reaches all the way down to her knees, twisting around itself at her waist and curving inwards around her legs. She has side-swept bangs, tucked behind her ears on the right and hanging just over her eyes on the left, and two short clumps of hair on either side of her face, curved towards her face on the right and behind it, under her ear, on the left.

Her name is Nejire Hado, also known as Nejire Chan.

"Quite the crowd." Katrina thought, looking around the room.

"So many of them. Looks like they're worried about our powers." Sora thought. He then knew Midnight from across the room, who winked at him. "And that's something I don't need right now."

It was at that moment that Nejire caught notice of a blunette among the Ranger as her eyes lit up. "Cyrus!"

"Huh?" The bluenette only had time to turn his head, only to be tackled into a bear hug by Nejire.

 "Principal Nezu told me that you're a Power Ranger! How did you fight against those weird villains? How strong are you? How does that outfit of yours appear? What are Power Rangers? How come you never told me!?" She was asking question after question.

"Sis, I need air!" Cyrus panicked while leaning back in the hug with his face going blue.

"Oh my gosh!" Nejire squeaked, releasing her brother as he took in several breaths of air. "I'm so sorry, twinsie!"

The other Rangers blinked in surprise at this."Twinsie?" Ayumi questioned with a head tilt.

"I think they may be twin siblings." Sora looking at the girl worrying over Cyrus.

"Yeah, I'm not seeing it." Reina bluntly spoke up.

 Kiba nodded in agreement, "I mean, besides the color of their hair and eyes, I don't see a resemblance between the two."

Nejire then turned her gaze on the Rangers. "Hey, hey, hey, hey! You must be Cy's friends, right? He told me so much about you all! Even that you're all Quirkless like him! So cool! My name's Nejire Hado! Cy's older twinsie, a second year from Class 3-A and one of the Big 3! What's yours?!" Nejire asked with her smile widening as she got right into the group personal space.

"I'm Sora Ukashi. This is Reina Fukukado, Kiba Mason, and Ayumi Suzuni" Sora introduced slightly nervously while lending back with how close she was getting to him. "And like Cyrus, we're Power Rangers too."

Nejire eyes gleamed enthusiastically with a big smile on her face. "Power Rangers? Is that what you call yourself when you transform?" She said leaning over to stare at him in the eyes their noses were almost touching, as she was oblivious to the fact that her boobs were pressed against his chest, and started to pat Sora on the head, shoulders, and back.

"Whoa, too close!" Sora thought flustered at how forward this girl was acting towards him and with her pressing herself against the Ranger. "Isn't she even aware of the position we're in right now?!"

"How do you do it without Quirks? Are those things on your arms related to that transformation? How do they work? What else can they do?" Nejire kept on talking, holding up the boy's left arm closer to herself as she noticed the Hero Morpher on his wrist. "You think I can get one of these things? What about those giant animal robots you summoned? How did you make it transform like that? Do you think I can pilot it too? Can you teach me to pilot one?  Can you tell me more about the Power Rangers stuff? Please? Pretty please? I'm super curious!" The third year smiled brightly as she asked question after question.

The Rangers stood there blinking at her overwhelming questions and the fact that Nejire's breasts were pressed against Sora's chest, while his brain was trying to process all of her questions.

"What the hell...?" Reina asked baffled at the girl.

"Yeah, and I thought I was energetic." Kiba nodded in amazemnt.

"Pfft hahaha! I like this girl! She seems much fun to be around!" Katrina laughed to herself at how Nejire was behaving.

But Ayumi looked like she was ready to explode with a fierce pout towards Nejire as she eyed the bluenette. Luckily, Cyrus was already on the case before defusing the situation as he pulled his sister back from the group.

"Nejire, you have to give them time to answer before you ask another question." Cyrus reminded her, making Nejire blink for a moment before looking at the Rangers expectantly. "Sorry about her. Nejire has a very curious mind and asks questions to anyone that catches her attention."

"So she's like Curious George?" Reina quoted out loud, getting a laugh in return as they looked over and saw Mirio and Tamkai moving over to them.

"That was a good one." Mirio laughed with a bright grin. "The name's, Mirio Togata. A second-year student at U.A. It's a pleasure to meet you." He hold out his hand towards the Red Ranger, who grabbed it in return.

"Likewise, Mirio..." Sora said shaking the boy's hand, before releasing it. 

"You got a strong grab on you there. I can tell that you're a pretty strong guy." Mirio said in an impressive tone. "Hope we can have the chance to spar with one another."

"Uh, sure, but don't expect me to go easy on you," Sora said flashing the blonde a determined grin, making the boy laugh.

"You're a real funny guy," Mirio said patting the boy's back. Then pointed his finger at the black-haired boy who was planting his face against a wall. "And that guy over there is my best friend, Tamaki Amajiki." He said getting his friend's attention, as the boy turned his head in their direction.

"... Hi," Tamaki said quietly making a face that looked like an attempt to smile but instead came off as a frightening grimace.

Kiba raised an eyebrow at this before looking back at Mirio.

"Is he okay?" The blonde asked before getting an answer.

"Yeah, he's fine. Just doesn't have a lot of self-confidence in himself." Mirio said to him, as the blonde patted his friend's back. "Come on dude, you gotta learn to open up more to other people, or else you'll never make it as a Pro someday." He encouraged him a bit.

"You're optimistic personality isn't helping Mirio." Tamaki said in embarrassment while trying to hide his face, while Mirio was laughing with his arm on his friend's shoulder.

"Hey there, baby sis!"

Before anymore could be said, another voice called out from the entrance and caused Reina to flinch with a groan.

Everyone turned and saw that it was a young woman of a strong athletic build with noticeably muscular arms. She has sea-green hair that reaches just past her shoulders, and short fringe with splayed ends which is usually obscured by her bandanna. She has dark green eyes with bright pupils, but by far her most prominent feature is her unwavering joyous smile.

Her hero costume consists of a sleeveless navy blue shirt with a high collar that's buttoned up all the way to her chin, puffed shorts with a green and orange pinstripe design and a corset adorned with yellow smiley-face pins, dipping down in a shallow "U" in the center. Below this, she wears a white V-shaped belt, and on her hands she has padded yellow gloves with golden plates over her knuckles and lower fingers, which extend in orange-striped tubes down her lower arms, with thick metal cylinders acting as wrist-guards over the top. She also wears an orange bandana and her costume sometimes includes a white hygiene mask with a circular smiley-face protrusion on either side.

It was the older sibling of a certain greenette. Emi Fukukado, also known as Smile Hero: Ms. Joke.

"Oh no..." Was all Reina was able to say before being bear-hugged by her older sister.

 "When I got the invite for this meeting, I definitely didn't expect to see you here!" Ms. Joke exclaimed happily, all the while swinging Reina around.

"Please stop." Reina complained as she was being hugged by her sister which made her very annoyed to be here.

"But I'm so proud of you!" Ms. Joke called as she jumped around a bit. "Oh, I can't believe my baby sister is going to U.A.! I mean, I'm a little bummed that you're not enrolling to Ketsubutsu Academy, but I'm still shocked that you passed U.A's Entrance Exam as one of the Top 5!"

"Ahem!"

Hearing the sound, everyone looked over and saw Nezu clearing his throat to get their attention,

"Now that introductions are out of the way, Young Ukashi, Fukukado, Hado, Mason, and Suzuni!" Nezu said with a cheerful tone. "Welcome!"

The moment Ayumi saw him, she gasped loudly as her eyes sparkled.

"OH MY GOSH!" She exclaimed, rushing over and picking up the small creature and started hugging him tightly, shocking everyone in the room. Rubbing her face against his. "Ohhh, he's so cute! Who's a widdle guy? Who's a widdle guy? Is it you? Is it you?" She asked, gushing over Nezu.

"Oh my!" Recovery Girl said, surprised at the scene.

"Well, that's not something you see everyday." Midnight commented, folding her arms with a smile.

The Rangers blinked dumbly at this. "Uhh, what is happening?" Cyrus asked.

"I...don't know." Reina replied, not sure what to make on\f the scene.

 "Hehe! I like her enthusisam!" Mirio laughing at the sight, folding his arms.

"Right, right?" Nejire agreed while also being slightly jealous that Ayumi got to do it.

"Uhh, i-is she allowed to do that?" Tamaki questioned, gesturing to the scene before him.

Kiba pulled out his phone and snapped pictures of the scene in front of him. "Oh, this is too good!"

"Guys, look!" Ayumi said, turning around to show Nezu to her friends. "Isn't it so cute and fluffy!?"

Sora rubbed his head sheepishly at this. "Yeah...And he's the Principal." He said, dropping the bomb.

"Wait what!?" Reina, Cyrus, and Kiba yelled in unison.

"Huh?" Ayumi uttered with a blank expression. She looked at Sora, before looking back down at Nezu, who didn't seem to mind being glomped.

"That's right. It's me, Nezu, the one who could be a dog or a mouse or a bear, but more importantly... I'm the principal!" Nezu greeted her, happily.

It took Ayumi 3 seconds to process this, and when she did...She abruptly sat Nezu back in his chair and bowed her head repeatedly.

"I am so sorry, sir!" She apologized with an embarrassed blush. "You just looked so squishy and adorable...!"

Nezu raised his paw with a smile. "Please, it was no trouble at all. It is nice to feel appreciated every once in a while." He assured her, before looking at the other Rangers. "I'm glad you all were able to make it. Please, take a seat."

The team took their seats in the room, sitting facing the teachers.

"Now then," Nezu said to them. "I would like to ask you all some questions if you wouldn't mind."

"Sure." Sora said with his arms crossed. "If possible, could we bring someone else out for this?"

That question surprised the entire room, wondering who Sora wanted to invite while All Might tensed up, ready to jump into action if the need arose.

"And who is this person that you wish to invite?" Tsukauchi asked cautiously.

"The one who gave us our Morphers." Sora said, holding up his left arm that carried his Hero Morpher, along with the others all doing the same.

Ms. Joke blinked at this information, "I'm sorry, but what's a Morpher?" She asked, getting everyone's attention. "And what does all of this have to do with you five?" 

Reina looked at her sister with confusion. "Sis... have you heard of the Power Rangers?" The younger greenette asked.

 "Yeah, I've seen those heroes on the news before." Ms. Joke replied with a raised eyebrow. "Heck, most of the students from Ketsubutsu Academy wouldn't stop talking about them. Why do you ask?" 

 Reina took a deep breath before answering her sister's question. "Well, my friends and I... we're the Power Rangers." 

 Silence filled the room as the Rangers waited for Ms. Joke's reaction, until it appeared that she was holding back her laughter at her sister's words.

 "Um... What are you laughing about, Emi?"

Ms. Joke replied as she tried to contain herself, "Pfft! Nice one, sis! You almost had me there for a second--Ffft! It's so funny!"

Sora, Ayumi, Cyrus, and Kiba had looks of confusion on their faces when they saw Ms. Joke's reaction and turned their heads towards Reina... only for their confusion to turn into nervousness when they saw their teammate gain an irritated look on her face, evidenced by eye twitching.

"It's not funny, sis; I really am a Power Ranger!" Reina stated as she tried her best not to explode in rage.

"Pfft— HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!" Unfortunately, it had the opposite effect as Reina's sister exploded with laughter as she was now holding her stomach in her arms as she tried her best not to die from laughter.

Seeing this made Reina growl angrily while pinching her nose in annoyance. As for the rest of the Rangers, they couldn't help but sweat drop at the scene before them while feeling sorry for their teammate.

"Can we get back to the subject at hand?" Aizawa questioned out loud. "Specifically, how you five used those Support Items without submitting a permit. Doing so would've be an automatic failure."

 What he said made the Rangers- including Reina, whose anger went away as soon as Aizawa spoke- feel anxious about what he said.

"So, what normally happens if anyone uses a Support Item during without submitting a permit?" Cyrus nervously asked as she and the other Rangers didn't like where this was headed.

"Normally, they'd be disqualified from the Entrance Exam." Nezu explained with a smile still present.

Hearing that made the Rangers really nervous, thinking they'd be in trouble and that they would never get into U.A.

"We're sorry, sir. We were in a hurry for the exam, it slipped our minds." Ayumi apologized to them.

"Normally, you all would fail for what you did," Midnight said to them. "But due to the principal..." Her eyes drifted to Nezu who was still smiling. "Who decided to make a special acceptance, it was overlooked."

"Now tell us, are those toys part of your quirks?" Vlad King was the first to ask them.

"No, we're all Quirkless; and our Morphers aren't quirks," Reina said to them.

"Morphers?" Power Loader asked in confusion. "You mean those devices you used?"

"Yes, it's what lets us turn into Power Rangers," Sora replied.

This surprised all of them. But they were wondering what a Power Ranger is.

"They're telling the truth." Tsukauchi said to them, surprising the Rangers. "There are no lies in their words."

"Wait, he can tell we weren't lying?" Sora thought before coming to a conclusion. "Does he have a quirk that lets him know if someone is lying or not?"

"That is so cool!" Kiba uttered in awe.

"Why didn't you all use those Morphers at the beginning of the exam?" Present Mic asked them.

"Because morphing into our Ranger forms depletes our energy fast," Cyrus said to them.

"So wearing those outfits consumes your energy? Interesting." Cementoss said, writing down the information.

"Not only that, but we made it a very strict rule in our group to only ever morph when it's absolutely necessary," Reina said.

"Oh, and what would that be?" The detective asked them.

"If someone's life is in danger or to fight against a villain." Ayumi replied.

"The person who gave us our Morphers told us to never abuse those powers. So the only time we ever morph is when to rescue someone or to fight villains." Sora said to all of them in a serious tone.

That caught them by surprise, not expecting that from them. Even All Might was taken aback by that.

"I see, a very noble rule to follow," Nezu said with a smile. "Now, if you could can you bring the person responsible for you having those Morphers." He asked the Rangers.

This got them a little worried, not knowing how to explain this to them.

"Of course, sir." Sora said to him. "Katrina."

Then, Katrina appeared behind the Rangers, in her pixel form, which surprised the heroes in the room.

"Hello, Principal Nezu and Detective Naomasa. Greetings to you all as well, U.A. teachers and Toshinori, otherwise known as All Might." The hologram named off most of the people in the room as she floated in mid air.

They each tensed up in turn, not expecting the A.I to know their names. When she identified All Might in his true form, the man buffed up immediately from when Katrina revealed his true form. He was growing more and more suspicious of the group.

The Rangers were all shocked by what the number one hero did. None of them expected the number one hero to be in front of them, let alone look like a skinny man.

"Ok, if no one else is going to say it I will... WHAT THE FUCK?!" Reina shouted in pure shock and confusion.

"Unbelievable..." Cyrus said in awe as his eyes were widened.

"A-All Might!?" Ayumi and Kiba said in sync from the reveal.

"No way," Sora and Mirio said in unison.

"Is... is that All Might?" Amajiki muttered with widened eyes.

"But how?! One minute he was a skeleton and then he was big and muscly!" Nejire's mind was blown from the reveal.

"What the...!?" Ms. Joke' mouth was out in confusion and shock as she didn't expect the number one hero to be in front of them, let alone look like a skinny man. 

While she's processing the information about All Might's true identity, realization hit her as she turned towards Reina. "Wait. When you said that you and friends are the Power Rangers... were you really telling the truth?!" 

 Reina just rolled her eyes at her sister. "Oh, so now you believe me..."

"Toshinori, please control yourself!" Recovery Girl shouted at him.

"How do you even know who All Might is?" Hound Dog said growling a little.

"Simple, I looked into U.A.'s security system a few days before the entrance exam. You'd be surprised at what you can learn from video recording taken from security cameras." Katrina said with a smile.

The heroes in the room were stunned by that fact, and All Might was sweating nervously on how his secret was found so easily.

Nezu on the other hand didn't lose his smile. In fact, he was interested in the holographic woman.

"I see, but who do I owe the pleasure of the woman that hacked into our systems." Nezu said to the A.I.

"My name is Katrina, or to be more accurate, Kat. I'm an A.I program." Katrina said, surprising them.

Everyone in the room, widened their eyes in shock at the information, except for the Rangers who already knew.

"You have got to be kidding me," Aizawa muttered under his breath with widened eyes.

"No way..." Nejire said with her mouth hanging open.

"An A.I.?! I thought that only existed in movies and stuff?!" Present Mic said in confusion.

"Fascinating! A real Artificial Intelligence!" Nezu's eyes were shining from the reveal.

"But such a thing isn't possible." Ectoplasm spoke up, after hearing this reveal.

"That's because I'm one of a kind." Katrina huffed, crossing her leg over the other. "Honestly, this world is quite lucky."

This caught everyone off guard. "What do you mean by this world?" All Might asked, debuffing back to his skeleton form.

"It's what she means, All Might. This isn't the only Planet Earth. There are more out there." Sora said to the heroes. "This one is just one universe connected to others."

Everyone in the room's jaw dropped from the bombshell truth dropped on them. The idea of other worlds was mind-blowing.

"Other worlds? Universes? Okay, you're screwing with us." Snipe said skeptically.

"Nope. Dead serious," Reina said as she folded her arms.

"Tsukauchi, are they telling the truth?" Nezu asked the truth man.

"Yes, they are," Tsukauchi said with a surprise look on his face. "I know this is hard to believe, but they're not lying. My quirk would have been activated if they lied."

The Pros were now surprised by this. They know about the detective's Quirk very well and if he says that they are not lying then it must be true.

"But still, do you have any proof of those claims?" Ectoplasm asked for solid proof.

"If fact, I do," Katrina said, projecting a screen. "This will take awhile to explain, so make yourselves comfortable."

"What are you going to show us?" Thirteen asked.

"The history of the Power Rangers." Sora said to them.

"We heard you call yourself that. But what is a Power Ranger?" All Might asked with everyone in the room wanting to know as well.

"Well, you see....back in those alternate Earths we mentioned, there are no quirks or Pro heroes," Cyrus said, shocking the teachers.

"No quirks or heroes." Midnight said with a shocked look.

"Yep, in your world's terms, it was the pre-quirk era when people were just regular humans with no powers whatsoever," Katrina said to them.

"Interesting, but there's more to this, is there?" Nezu asked.

"Yes, there is sir," Sora confirmed. "Back on the alternate Earths, you would be surprised with how many times they came close to annihilation due to some evil alien invasions, demons from hell, time-traveling mutants, and killer robot empires. It was like there was a new threat to humanity almost every year."

The heroes on the other hand had another shocked look on their faces from the information.

"Wait, aliens?! Like real-life aliens?!" Cementoss asked.

"Yes, actual aliens." Katrina said, and could understand their surprise. "They make the ones you see on television look like harmless people in suits."

"Wow, mind blown!" Present Mic said out loud.

"Indeed, but anyway, whenever there was danger, a group of heroes called the Power Rangers would always appear and defend everyone from the evil beings who threatened their world. No matter how hard it was or how close humanity came to an end, the Power Rangers would always save the day." Sora said to them.

The heroes in the room couldn't help but smile from what they heard. These Power Rangers sound like the type of heroes all pros should be aiming for.

"As expected, even in other worlds there will always be villains." Aizawa triedly said.

"But luckily there will always be heroes there to stop them." Ms. Joke said with a smile.

"Their fame and heroic deeds have even reached other planets," Cyrus added.

"So famous that even other people from the stars know about them...?" All Might said in awe. Not even he was able to accomplish that.

"But, it might be better to show you rather than explain our history as Power Rangers." Katrina said playing the video for all to see.

The Rangers, All Might, Nezu, Tsukauchi, Ms. Joke, the Big 3 and the staff of U.A. began to watch the story of the Power Rangers.

"Before we play the video, I would like to ask all of you to keep what you see here quiet." Katrina said to them.

This confused all the adults in the room. "Why do you want us to keep quiet about this?" Snipe said suspiciously.

"Because the less people that know about this, the better." Sora said with his arme crossed. "Like how I'm sure you all hide All Might's secret from the public."

Everyone in the room just cringes at the thought. If they're keeping this a secret then it must be something big, like All Might's true self..

"You have my word  Ms. Kat, that everything said in this room will not be shared with anyone." Nezu promised her, though he was very excited to see the Rangers' history. 

"Right, then I'll start the video." Katrina said as the video plays, they see a middle-aged man staring in front of the screen.

"Hello, my name is Tommy Oliver and I'm a Power Ranger. I, myself, was once one of these noble warriors, but my days as a Ranger have long since passed." Tommy said.

"Who's that?" All Might asked.

"Tommy Oliver, the greatest Power Ranger of all time." Sora told him, admiration in his tone.

"This is the last record message Tommy made before retiring." Katrina said to them. "Like he said, his days of being a Power Ranger are over due to him retiring."

"I see, it is a shame but understandable." Cementoss sadly said, as most veteran Pro heroes retire due to old age as well.

"If we don't die from fighting villains, it will happen to us as well." Snipe said, tipping his hat in respect.

"Nothing lasts forever." Recovery Girl said as she was at the same age too.

"This video diary is a confidential record. Only to be viewed in case of an emergency or for the recruitment of new Power Rangers. This is the history of the Power Rangers." Tommy said to the viewers.


Alsatia's Ship - Space

"Ah! Oh! Now, I've got it!"

Srcozzle muttered as he continued to work with the mechanics of the machine he was currently in the process of making. Truth be told, he perfer to have others doing the fighting in his stead. While he was known as one of the most intelligent beings in his universe, he was also not a fighter and more of the brains.'

Grabbing a blow torch and watching through a large magnifying glass, he continued to create a weapon that once gave the Rangers trouble before. "Almost done, and...."

The electric doors that led to the laboratory area then slid open with a ding. Scrozzle stopped working for a moment due to the distraction and glanced over his shoulder, perking up when he saw the violet eyed Queen and her general.

"Ah, Your Grace." He greeted the white-haired woman with a slight bow. "Beast-Warrior." He greeted Ernesh, before looking at Igneron with a deadpan gaze. "And you..."

"Watch it, machine." Igeron growled. He paused, however, Alsatia merely raised her hand to silence him. Igeron snarled, but nodded and stepped down.

"As you wish." He spoke. Alsatia nodded to him before fixating her eyes on Scrozzle.

"So, my guest... how goes the construction of your device?"

"Good news for you, your Grace. It's going faster than I'd hoped." Scrozzle spoke up before turning back to finish. "I am just putting the finishing touches on it and...There! It's finally completed!"

He stepped back from whatever he was working on in the center before turning around and showing it to the Queen. It was shown to be a was a silver-and-red pillar like tank in the center of the room.

"I present to you, the Reanimizer Mark 2." Scrozzle announced. "With this baby, I can revive a wide variety of past villains and have them at your beck and call!"

"I see..." Alsatia hummed as she looked over the device. "So, this is the device that will bring forth monsters that these Power Rangers have faced?"

"Indeed it is, Your Highness. Not only will it allow me to revive any past monster or villain that the Rangers have fought, but I can also modify them to make them even stronger than they were defeated." The robotic inventor said in pride.

"And how, exactly, would you make these monsters far stronger than they were before?"

Scrozzle gestured to a machine panel, which had three levers on it. "By using that console there. I can give them an extra-special power that they originally didn't possess or I can alter their DNA, making them capable of surviving in whatever environment you can think of."

"Show me." Alsatia simply ordered.

"But of course." Scrozzle turned and walked towards the panel and began to press buttons on it as the machine began to power up.

A small, rectange slot soon popped opened near the panel as Scrozzle took out the hard drive and inserted it in the slot.

"Now, all I need to do is pick the right enemy for the Rangers." He said, looking over the panel screen, when the silhouette of a large monster appeared on the panel. "Oh. This one will do nicely!" Scrozzle chirped, pressing buttons on another panel and pushing up a lever. "Entering code: Wolfbane."

He, Alsatia, Igeron and Ernesh all turned to the chamber as its doors opened up, and a cyborg goblin/wolf creature walked out of it, who let out a howl.

"I'm the mighty Wolfbane!" He yelled out. "Who is it that has revived me?"

"This is the foe you chose to face those humans?" Ernesh commented, unimpressed.

Igeron snorted. "Yeah, not only does 'Wolfbane' look ridiculous; what he just said was quite literally the most stupidest thing I have ever heard. Of all time."

"Trust me." Scrozzle said with confidence. "He's more than enough."

"That would be me." Alsatia spoke up, taking a step forward. "I am Queen Alsatia, ruler of the Royal Empire, and I have need of your assistance."

"I am in your debt." Wolfbane said, bowing his head before her. "Anything for the one who brought me back to life."

Alsatia smiled darkly. "Tell me, do you remember a group by the name of...Power Rangers?"

"The Power Rangers?" Wolfbane growls menacingly as he recalled his defeat at the hands of the Zeo Rangers, especially the Gold Ranger. "How could I forget being defeated by those colorfully-costumed wretches? If I ever see those three again, it'll be too soon!"

"Well, the Rangers here may not be the same ones that defeated you, but I bet destroying these Rangers might help 'lift your spirits,' as the saying goes." Alsatia told him.

"More Rangers?" Wolfbane questioned before laughing. "Then, I'll huff and I'll puff and crush those little twerps!"

"Excellent. Now, I want you and several of my Batzlers go down to Earth and crush anyone one who gets in your way. That includes the Power Rangers." Alsatia ordered him.

The wolf-cyborg bared his fangs with excitement. "Consider it done."

To Be Continued...

Notes:

And with that, another chapter done. While The Rangers and U.A staff caught up on the Rangers' history, Alsatia and company are ready for their next strike! And next chapter, the Hero Rangers face their very first past monster, Wolfbane! What do you guys think? Was he a good choice?

Leave a review or PM me your thoughts and opinions.

See ya!!!

U.A High School - 2 hours later

After 2 hours of Rangers footage, the Teachers were beyond blown away with what they saw. Heroes from another universe who were quirkless, but fought against all forces of evils to protect the people of their world and other worlds. Those Power Rangers were the embodiment of what a true hero should be and have accomplished things that even the Pro heroes in the room couldn't even dream of. This has got to be one of the most interesting and craziest things they have seen in their line of work as heroes.

It was as if their view of heroism was just completely shattered. These quirkless heroes fought against creatures that made the villains of their world look harmless and technology years beyond anything in their world.

All Might was also stunned by this. It was like how One For All was passed down to many heroes, the Power Rangers had their own line of great heroes, and their legacy just keeps growing.

Mirio, Nejire, and Tamaki had looks of absolute respect on their faces. Seeing the Power Rangers' history has inspired the second-year students to become just as good as the Rangers, with Nejire having even more questions to ask the Rangers.

Ms. Joke was stunned in amazement at she saw quirkless heroes doing the impossible just for the sake of protecting their world from evil threats. 

Nezu and Tsukauchi merely smiled as they had nothing but the utmost respect for those past heroes and the ones who have yet to come to carry on their legacy.

"And now the story brings us here to the present." Katrina said, referring to the Hero Force Rangers. "I was given the task by my creators, hoping to find five brave souls with the attitude to carry on the legacy of the Power Rangers." She then pointed at the team. "And Sora Ukashi, Reina Fukukado, Cyrus Hado, Kiba Mason, and Ayumi Suzuni were chosen to become the next generation of Power Rangers."

The Pros were now amazed by this. Those kids will be the next generation of the greatest heroes they have ever seen since All Might.

"I don't believe it," Tsukauchi said as he was processing this the best he could.

"Amazing! Truly amazing indeed! The Power Rangers are truly worthy of the title of heroes." All Might said back in his muscle form with his famous smile. 'And to think I was judging these kids just because of their abilities....I hate to admit it, but they're even better heroes than me.' He thought, remembering the story.

"Yes, the Power Rangers are what all Heroes strive to be!" Nezu said with glee.

"This is just too much," Ectoplasm said with a stunned look.

"Agreed," Power Loader said weakly as he was still trying to get over his shock.

"That... was... AWESOME!" Nejire exploded into excitement as she was floating in the air with her quirk. "That was the coolest thing I've ever seen in my life! The monsters, giant robots, and other cool stuff!" She had a cheerful smile lighting up her face.

"Nejire is in one of her modes again," Tamaki said to Mirio, as it would be impossible to calm her down now.

"I don't blame her. I mean, I also feel inspired after seeing the Power Rangers' history." Mirio said with a proud smile.

"I still think it's a pretty reckless idea to have the fate of the world relying on children to save the world." Vlad King said in disapproval from hearing that mostly kids were made into Power Rangers.

"Don't be like that Vlad. Those kids did a good job protecting their world from threats." Cementoss said.

"I agree with Vlad for once," Aizawa spoke out. "The first team of Rangers were high school students. That plan of Zordon's was asinine."

"Zordon was a space wizard with years of wisdom. He must have figured that teenagers are what it takes to save the world." Snipe said in Zordon's defense.

"That still doesn't make it any better," Aizawa said in return.

"You forget Aizawa, there are no hero laws in their world." Midnight said to him.

"But man, it's pretty freaky the things they have to fight on a day by day basis." Present Mic committed.

"So the Power Rangers are quirkless heroes." Recovery Girl said out loud.

"I guess that proves even the quirkless can be heroes." Thirteen said.

"It's still hard to believe, but the video doesn't seem to be fake." Tsukauchi said, rubbing his eyes.

"But back to the main subject." Power Loader said. "I am curious to hear about this Morphin Grid that was mentioned during the Beast Morphers and Dino Fury Rangers stories."

"The Morphin Grid is an energy field that exists across the multiverse for all Power Rangers regardless of whether they are alien or human. Power Rangers can draw their powers from multiple specific sources that are linked to the Morphin Grid. Rangers use their Morphers to create entries into the Grid and the powers are instantaneously entered into their cellular makeup when they finish morphing. This is all possible since they've all connected to the Grid." Katrina explained the Morphin Grid to the teachers.

"Our Morphers are connected straight to the Morphin Grid." Cyrus said to them. "And thanks to all the data added from it, we would also have access to all the Rangers' Zords, vehicles, and weapons."

"A multiversal energy!" Ectoplasm said in awe. "To think something like that exists."

"Now I'm starting to see why you wanted to keep this a secret." Hound Dog said. "If a villain were to learn about this..."

"They would use this knowledge for their own evil purposes." Midnight said in a grim tone.

The heroes didn't even want to imagine fighting against a evil army of Power Rangers. It would be complete chaos.

"Which is why Katrina asked all of you to keep quiet about this to anyone, even the government can't know about this." Sora said.

"You don't want the government to know about this?" All Might asked.

"Honestly speaking, I don't really trust the government." Sora said, making the heroes a little concerned. "Well, I know that it is important to the country and the Hero Public Safety Commission, but Power Ranger technology is too dangerous. You already saw first hand what it can do and the damage it could cause if it falls into the wrong hands."

The Heroes in the room can understand what the quirkless boy was saying and can agree that it would be dangerous for someone to use this technology for evil. It's not that the brunette didn't trust anyone, its just that he didn't want to be responsible for hurting someone if this got out to the public.

"I-I can understand that..." All Might said thinking about his quirk and the damage it could cause as well if he didn't pick the right person as his successor.

"Yes, something like this can not be shared with the public." Recovery Girl said.

"I also agree to this being kept a secret." Tsukauchi said in agreement.

"Hey, can I say something?" Ms. Joke questioned, getting everyone's attention on her. "Why did you give my sister that Morpher?" She asked in a serious tone this time. "She could have been hurt or worse when she went up against those villains. Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful for you giving her a chance, but she is my only sister and I want her to be happy, but why her and not one of the thousands of heroes?" She asked.

"Does that go for my twinsie, as well?" Nejire asked, referring to Cyrus.

Katrina wasn't surprised by those reactions as it was natural for family to worry about their sibling's safety. Katrina opened her mouth to speak, only for Cyrus to beat her to it.

"It does." Cyrus responded to her sister's question before Reina submitted her response.

"Look, sis, I get it. You're worried about me being involved in all of this and getting hurt, but I'm not a little kid anymore. I can protect myself just fine and I went through some training to improve my skills. Being a Power Ranger is a decision that I made and I'm damn well proud of that too." The younger greenette spoke firmly.

"Same goes for me too." Cyrus responded. "You and my friends are always saying how smart I am and well, I guess now's the time for me to show it. What do you think, sis?"

Nejire stayed quiet for a moment before looking at them. "Hey, Power Rangers and Katrina, can you all promise me he will be safe... and that he will come home to me every day?" She asked the group.

"Of course/Sure thing!" Ayumi and Kiba nodded in unison.

"I'm pretty sure we all know being a hero isn't an easy job. He'll get hurt and injured just to fight a villain and save lives. But we can promise to watch his back." Sora said with a nod.

"We can promise that we will guide and protect him to the best of our abilities, but from what I have seen him do already I don't think you have anything to worry about," Katrina said with a smile on her face. "But it's not like I would have picked anyone to be a Ranger."

"What do you mean by that?" Recovery Girl responded in confusion.

"Since I've met them, these five were the only one I personally met who actually wanted to help people without asking for anything in return." Katrina said to her before hovering over to the Rangers. "Which is why I'm willing to do everything I can to help them become the first ever Quirkless team of heroes."

This took the Pros back in surprise by her words. The idea of a team of Quirkless heroes seemed impossible, but after watching the Power Rangers' history, maybe such a thing might be possible.

"Now then, there's still one more thing we need to discuss with you all." Katrina  informed.

"And what would that be?" Ectoplasm asked.

Katrina waved hand out in front of them. A hologram screen in front of the teens, taking them all back. "Observe."

The group looked up at the screen and saw a massive warship hovering above the planet. "What...What is that!?" Present Mic exclaimed in shock, his glasses dropping onto his nose.

"That's the Flagship of Queen Alsatia." Katrina said, before pulling up an image of said intergalactic pirate. "A heir to the Royal Empire who is bent on controlling the entire universe, or rather cleansing as she calls it. But, she is nonetheless a tyrant who seeks to dominate every world on site with her henchmen and enforcers. She has done this for over 10,000 years and now she seeks to conquer your world."

"So, you're saying that we have an actual space royal pirate intending to take over our world?" Vlad King asked.

"Yes." The A.I replied. "She has already sent her troops here before."

"What troops?" Ectoplasm questioned.

"These." Katrina said, bringing up an image of the orange-skinned grunts, taking the Pros back.

"Hey wait, those are the very same creatures from before." Midnight added in. "The ones that attacked the city square months ago."

"I can't believe it." All Might spoke up. "Just what were they?"

"They're called Batzler Soldiers." Cyrus replied, getting their attention. "They're the foot soldiers of Alsatia's army and serve under her command."

"Then what about that giant, blue horseman?" Tsukauchi asked, recalling Igeron in the attack. "Was he a soldier of hers too?"

"No." Katrina shook her head. "That was Igeron, one of Alsatia's top generals."

"Don't forget Scrozzle being here too." Kiba added in.

"Scrozzle?" Mirio questioned in confusion.

This time, Katrina brought up an image of said dimensional hopper. "A super intelligent robotic inventor who has been an enemy of the Beast Morpher Rangers and the Dino Fury Rangers."

"Not only that, he was able to cross into this universe and is possisbly now working on something big." Ayumi told them. "On top of which, he has a way of turning machines into robots. Like he did back in the construction site with that bulldozer monster."

"Meaning, they're likely to strike again." Reina nodded.

"'Yeah. Especially if Alsatia finds and recruits him to her army," Kiba shivered at the thought.

"This is bad." Hound Dog said in a grimly tone, placing his hands on the table. "We've never had to face a literal outside force before. Much less one from a different universe."

"Still, to think such evil beings exist." Midnight spoke in a sour tone while looking down on the floor. "I'm not sure us Pro Heroes will be enough to stop such dangerous foes. Even with All Might before he got his injury." She said as she couldn't help but feel powerless just thinking about the other world villains.

"No, I fully agree with what you said," Toshinori said as he already accepted the truth. "I don't think even if I was in my prime, I could take on most of the threats the Power Rangers have faced."

"Ugh, did you really have to bring that up?! We get it! These level threats are too much for us to handle!" Present Mic complained like a little girl, hoping that this was just a dream and he was sleeping in his bed.

"Sorry to be a downer, Mic. But I can't help but think about it." Midnight said in her defense.

"Indeed. Plus, those threats that the Power Rangers fought against..." Cementoss uttered out. "They make the villains we face look like children throwing tantrums."

"True! They have aliens, armor, magic, robots, quirkless, and other heroes to fight against that evil!" Mirio said as never felt like this before, after witnessing the other worlds.

"I know, I never felt so many goosebumps in my life." Nejire yelled out in excitement with a grin. "But the heroes from those worlds are incredible!" She admitted as she was holding on to a stunned Tamaki, as he was very quiet dealing with what he saw in his own way.

"So then... How do we stop them?" Snipe questioned, looking around for answers.

"It's quite simple, actually." Nezu said as his tone was grim with his eyes closed. "Watching this video of the Power Rangers and hearing about these Alsatia and Scrozzle characters has opened my eyes. To think that there are worlds and lives out there beyond our knowledge, and that we are simply not nearly prepared as we thought we were. If she is planning to invade our world, I don't think we would survive. Even with the Pros." He then opened his eyes at the Rangers. "Now that we have more information on what allowed young Ukashi and his friends to fight were the use of their Morphers, but not quirks...We now know that they won't be charged for illegal quirk usage."

Hearing that, Katrina and the Rangers all let out a sigh of relief.

"That being said, we can't have you five continue to run around unsupervised and getting into more trouble. That's why I came up with a proposition; the Hero Force Rangers will be allowed to fight against any threat that is too much for a Pro hero to handle and you all will be working together to get your hero licenses, as the Power Rangers are not recognized by the government."

This shocked everyone in the room, even the Rangers and Katrina were caught off guard by the bold move.

"Nezu, you can't be serious, right?!" Vlad King asked.

"Yeah, they're still only children!" Thirteen said in shock.

"Not to mention that they aren't licensed heroes yet," Tsukauchi added.

"Oh, I'm very serious about this matter of fact," Nezu said with his usual smile. "But they aren't ordinary kids. They have abilities and technology that our world has not seen before. And what if some giant monster starts to rampage through the city?" He asked them. "Except for Mount Lady and Ryukyu, there aren't that many heroes with Gigantification quirks, and I believe young Ukashi and his team have what it takes to handle the problem." He explained.

"That still doesn't make it right. It goes against the law, Nezu and-" Tsukauchi was cut off.

"I'm happy that SOMEONE understands that the enemy isn't just going to sit around and wait for these kids to become full heroes." Katrina spoke up with a sharp tone. "They're out there, somewhere, planning their next move, and none of us know what it is, but it's coming! Whether we're ready or not!"

"O-Of course! If my Ranger abilities can help you!" Cyrus speaks out loud.

"I want to help too, sir," Ayumi said in confidence.

"Same." Reina nodded in agreement.

"Ditto!" Kiba grinned with a thumbs up.

"I accept as well," Sora said. "But, if it's okay...I have one condition."

"Conditions? Kid, you and your team are already being offered a unique chance, I don't think-" Aizawa said, though Nezu held up his paw to stop him.

"Name them," Nezu said with an unwavering smile.

"The Power Rangers Hero Force can operate freely whenever we wish." Sora said making his teammates look at him in awe. "If there's trouble in front of us with no other heroes around or if there's not up for the job, we would like to take over the situation."

"I can agree to that, only if you get permission from us first." Nezu said.

"But what if we don't have time to get permission?" Ayumi asked a very good question.

"Then you will have to explain the situation to us when you're done." Nezu said to her.

"Sounds like a plan." Katrina replied with a nod.

"Then it's settled." Nezu said. "The Hero Force Rangers will be allowed to face any threat that Alsatia throws their way and work to get their hero licenses, under the condition that they let one of us know."

The Rangers slumped back in their chairs, sighing out breaths of relief. They didn't know how they managed it, but they did it. And now it was finally over.

"Well if there's nothing left to say, then we'll be on our way," Sora said as he and the others were about to leave.

"Actually, there is still one more thing we need to discuss with you," Nezu said to the Rangers. "I would like everyone except the Power Rangers, myself, All Might, Recovery Girl, and Detective Tsukauchi to please leave the room." Nezu said as everyone except the names he called out left the room.

"He made some of them leave, which means he's about to say something he doesn't want others to hear." Katrina thought.

When the door closed Cyrus spoke. "Is there still more you want to discuss with us, Principal Nezu?" He asked the animal.

"Yes, there is and it involves All Might's secret." Nezu said, getting their attention.

"His...secret?" Kiba and Reina echoed.

"Yes, six years ago All Might fought against a very powerful villain. He ultimately managed to win, but it resulted in him gaining a life-threatening injury that nearly cost him his life." Tsukauchi said to the Rangers. "Luckily he managed to survive thanks to Recovery-Girl."

As if on cue, Toshinori grabbed the hem of his suit shirt and began to pull it up to reveal his big ugly secret to the people in the room.

Ayumi gasped in shock as she gazed at what was under that shirt and threw both hands over her mouth to keep from screaming.

Reina's eyes went wide and her mouth fell a little bit open, not believing her eyes.

Katrina merely cringed and slightly frowned with her head down to avoid looking at the injury again, as once was enough for her.

Kiba's jaw was agape from the number one hero's injury and had a look of disbelief on his face,  instead of his usual smile.

Cyrus gaped in shock at the sight that he even had to take off his glasses just to make sure he was seeing things.

Sora was stunned like a statue after seeing the horrific injury on the hero, with his mind in a frenzy on how someone like All Might got injured.

"Honestly, I healed this fool's injury more times than I can count. I just wish he doesn't have to be reckless at times." Recovery Girl said in irritation.

All Might looked the other way in embarrassment with Nezu slightly chuckling at the remark.

"Ever since that day, my power has been growing weaker, and I can only maintain my muscle form for only 3 hours a day." All Might explained.

"Because of how much of a big deal this is, the fight and All Might's condition wasn't made public," Katrina assumed.

"Exactly," Nezu said with a nod. "We couldn't let the public know about All Might's condition. If everyone were to learn that the Symbol of Peace was growing weaker..."

"It would be complete chaos." Cyrus quietly said, still trying to get the horrifying image out of his head.

"And the villains will start to grow more bolder, which will result in crime going up," Sora said in worry.

"Yes, my time as a hero is almost up." All Might sadly said with a frown. "I say I have less than about a year left until all my power is completely gone." He then looked up at the Rangers. "Which is why I came to the U.A. to find a worthy successor to inherit my power."

The Rangers and Katrina all just blinked at what All Might just said. He was looking for someone to inherit his power?

"I'm sorry, but did you just say you 'inherited your powers?'" Kiba double-checked.

"Yes." All Might said as knew he was going to have to tell them his power. "My Quirk was actually given to me like an Olympic torch."

This caused the Rangers' eyes to widen in surprise by the bombshell dropped on them. Even Katrina was caught off guard by this.

"Your quirk was given to you by someone else?!" Reina shouted.

"Indeed, believe it or not, I was actually born quirkless." All Might said to them.

This made Sora, Reina, Cyrus, Kiba, Ayumi and Katrina jaw drop in complete shock from the reveal. "SAY WHAT!?"

"Y-Y-You were Quirkless?!" Cyrus asked in shock.

All Might sighed, expecting that reaction from them. "Yes."

"Holy crap..." Kiba wheezed as he slumped into his chair. "To think the big guy started out as an underdog all along..."

"You'll have to accept this new reality and adjust to this new truth!" All Might said, raising his arm out. "I can transfer my quirk to someone else. And that's just one facet of my secret abilities."

"Makes sense, Power Rangers can do the exact same thing." Katrina thought.

All Might held up his right hand, and his palm started to glow rainbow beams that were shooting out. "The true name of my power. It Is called One For All."

"One For All..." the Rangers repeated.

"Yes, one person improves the power, then hands it off to another person, and continues to grow as it's passed along. This cultivated power then allows me to save those who are in need of a hero. The truth behind my strength." All Might explains displaying the rainbow of light from his hand, leaving the Rangers in awe.

"Wow," Reina said with widened eyes.

"Wow, indeed," Sora said too.

"Hardcore..." Kiba commented.

"Incredible," Cyrus said.

"Yea..." Ayumi said in awe.

"Fitting name for your quirk," Katrina said to him.

"Thanks, Katrina." All Might said with a little laugh. "Back when I was still around your age, I met the previous wielder of One For All. They saw I had the potential to inherit its power and used it for the greater good."

"He used to become the number 1 hero and revolutionize the age of heroes," Tsukauchi said, remembering the good old days.

"So, it's like the Three Musketeers?" Kiba asked, getting everyone's attention.

"What do you mean?" Sora asked the blonde.

The Yellow Ranger scratched his head with a joking laugh. "I don't know, it's just the name of his Quirk that tipped me off. You know how the motto of the Three Musketeers goes 'All for one and One for all'? How weird would it be if someone out there had a Quirk called 'All For One' ?"

The other Rangers and Katrina all blinked at this really good question as they pondered over it.

"Huh. That's actually a pretty good assumption," Cyrus commented.

"I agree." Katrina nodded as she folded her arms. "It does sound like the opposite of One for All."

Reina snorted at this. "Okay like how? It could take away a person's Quirk and give it to another person?"

"It does sound like an OP power if you ask me." Sora added in.

"More like really horrifying..." Ayumi said with a shiver. "Hopefully, no one like that really exists."

Little did they know, they never knew how spot on they were as the other adults in the room all flinched at that and gained dreadful expressions.

"Well, I suppose that could be a question for another time." Nezu said, wanting to get the topic back on track.

All Might mentally thanked Nezu for that before he spoke up. "As I was saying before, as my time as the Symbol of Peace is running out, I came to U.A. to find someone to pass on One For All's power...but my search is finally over."

This confused the Rangers and Katrina. "Why's that?" Sora asked.

"You'll know soon enough." All Might simply told them. "And when you do meet my successor, promise me that you all will keep everything said here a secret from everyone else."

"Is it Mirio?” 

 Everyone looked at Kiba in confusion, wondering why he thought the second-year would be All Might’s successor. 

 “What? Take a good look at him and tell me he’s not All Might’s secret son.” Kiba stated with a serious expression with his arms crossed.

After hearing what Kiba just said, All Might was so shocked that he had no idea how to respond to that while the other Rangers and Katrina were deep in thought. 

 “Well, they do share some similarities with each other…” Cyrus said as he, sorta, agreed with Kiba. 

 Ayumi gasped as she looked at All Might with excitement in her eyes. “Are you and Mirio really father and son?!” 

 All Might sputtered nervously as he tried to find the right words for this. 

 “I don’t think so.” Katrina stepped to explain her thoughts. “I did a scan on both All Might and Mirio, and I can assure you all that they are not related.”

 “Glad to know that the idea of All Might and Mirio being related sounds ridiculous.” Reina stated as she agreed with Katrina. “And besides, All Might choosing Mirio to be his successor would be way too obvious.” 

 After a few minutes of thinking, Sora decided to ask his question to All Might. “If your successor isn’t Mirio, then who is it?”

 “You’ll know who it is as soon as classes begin.” All Might tiredly answered as he desperately wanted to change the subject. “Can we please talk about something else, now?”

 Principal Nezu, Recovery Girl, and Detective Tsukauchi quietly chuckled to themselves in amusement at the scene before them. 

 Hearing All Might’s words made Cyrus realize something. "Well, I guess now's a good time to say that I finished the Ranger App." He announced to all.

 Nezu, All Might, Tsukauchi, and Recovery Girl b confused by the app while the Rangers and Katrina are surprised and impressed by what Cyrus said.

"Whoa, you finished it already?" Kiba questioned in awe. 

 "That's awesome, Cy!" Ayumi agreed with a smile.

“I’m honestly impressed, Cyrus.” Katrina said as she flashed Cyrus an impressed smile. 

 “Yeah. Way to go, dude!” Reina added as she gave him a thumbs up. 

 As Cyrus returned the praise with an embarrassed smile, Nezu, All Might, Recovery Girl, and Tsukauchi could only look at the Rangers and their A.I. mentor, wondering what they were talking about.

"Pardon me. But, what are you all talking about?" The latter asked the group.

Sora turned back to the adults in the room. "We're talking about an app that Cyrus has been working on to help us out."

 "I call it the 'Ranger Danger' App." Cyrus replied, taking over. "It will automatically notify us of the various attacks that Scrozzle, Alsatia, and her forces cause around the city, and will allow the citizens to request our help."

Before the adults could comment on the app, explosions could be heard from outside the building, getting everyone’s attention.

 “Are those… explosions?” Ayumi nervously asked. 

 “Maybe someone’s having a party and are setting off fireworks?” Kiba guessed, seriously hoping it wasn’t anything bad. 

 Katrina disappeared from the room to see what the disturbance was from the Command Center. After a few seconds of being gone, Katrina called Sora from his Morpher. 

 “Katrina, what’s wrong?” Sora asked as he was concerned about the whole thing. 

 “You all need to get outside, now!” Katrina commanded with urgency in her voice. 

 “What? Why?” Reina asked as she was confused and concerned by the tone in Katrina’s voice. 

"Alsatia’s soldiers are attacking the Downtown District!...And they're NOT alone!"

To Be Continued....

Chapter Text

Previously on Power Rangers: Hero Force...

Explosions could be heard from outside the building, getting everyone's attention. "Are those... explosions?" Ayumi asked, startled by the sudden sounds.

"Maybe someone's having a party and are setting off fireworks?" Kiba guessed, seriously hoping it wasn't anything bad.

Katrina disappeared from the room to see what the disturbance was from the Command Center. After a few seconds of being gone, Katrina called Sora from his Morpher.

"Katrina, what's wrong?" Sora asked as he was concerned about the whole thing.

"You all need to get outside, now!" Katrina commanded with urgency in her voice.

"What? Why?" Reina asked as she was confused and concerned by the tone in Katrina's voice.

"Alsatia's soldiers are attacking the Downtown District!...And they're NOT alone!"

"WHAT!?"

U.A High School

At that moment, Nejire and the others all came barging back inside the room. "What happened!? We heard yelling!" Vald King excalimed.

"Ms. Katrina has informed us of Alsatia sending her forces again." Nezu replied, immediately grabbing the TV remote on the table to turn on the television screen. What they saw made every person in the room gasp in utter shock, fear, and surprise at what they were witnessing before them.

Downtown of Musutafu City was in a state of panic, with people screaming and running for their lives as the collateral damage was at an all-time high, with a large army of Batzlers led by mutant cybernetic wolf destroying the city and attacking anyone or anything in their path of destruction and chaos.

 "Hey, who's the Big Bad Wolf knock-off?" Kiba questioned as he looked closer at the screen.

"He looks familiar...?" Cyrus muttered when realization hit him. "Wait, that's Wolfbane!"

"Wolfbane...?" Mirio questioned.

 "He's one of the monsters that was beaten by the Zeo Rangers!"

Ayumi looked confused. "But, if he was already beaten...why is here?"

As if reading each other's minds, Sora and Reina both gained a look of realization. "Scrozzle." Sora said in anger.

"He must've brought him back somehow." Reina growled. "And the fact that he's with those freaks means Scorzzle and Alsatia have already joined up!"

"No! This can't be happening!" Midnight yelled in horror with a complete look of disbelief on her face. 

"But yet, it's happening right in front of our very eyes." Toshinori said as he didn't felt this scared in a long time. "This is truly horrible."

"There's no use trying to deny it." Nezu said seriously with a worrisome look on his face. "Alsatia's forces are back, and they're invading our world."

"Then what are we standing around for!?" Sora yelled, breaking the heroes out of their silence as they looked at him. "The whole city in a state of anarchy! We need to get moving before it's too late!" He remained them about the crisis.

"He's right..." All Might said bulking up into his muscle form. "We need to hurry before they destroys more lives!" He stated seriously before opening a window and rushing out of the school at high speed which made the pro look like a blur.

Hearing this made all the Pro Heroes swing into action and followed suit, as some of them already rushed out to get into the city faster.

"Let's show those fiends that they picked the wrong city!" Vlad King shouted, before running outside as quickly as he could.

"There's not a moment to waste then! Big 3, you all suit up and meet us outside!" Midnight told them.

"Right!" Nejire replied with a rare serious expression, as she ran out of the room to get her suit.

"Come on, Suneater!" Mirio said to his friend with a passionate gaze. "We can't let the Batzlers hurt even more innocent people!"

Tamaki nodded back to him in response with him having a ton of anxiety in his stomach, as the boy really didn't want to face Ranger enemies, but knows he couldn't back down with so many lives on the line and that his friends were putting their lives at risk to help others.

"There must to be tons of property damage and a lot of people need saving. Some of us should focus on rescue and evacuating the civilians, while the others deal with this threat." Snipe said to her teammates.

"Right!" The other Pros agreed before leaving as well.

"I'll accompany you." Nezu said jumping onto Ectoplasm's shoulder and sitting there. "I'm still a Pro hero as well and sometimes tells me you're going to next my assignments."

"We appreciate the help, Nezu." Ectoplasm said to him.

"We should join them in the rescue operation, Aizawa. Our quirks might not suitable for dealing with aliens." Ms. Joke said to the man, who was applying eye drops to his eyes.

"Right. That sounds like the most rational thing we can do." Aizawa said to her as he puts on his goggles before the two followed after the others to rescue civilians.

"And maybe we could talk about getting married later~?"

"No."

"I need to get moving as well." Tsukauchi said before leaving for his car to the station.

 "Wait, what did Emi just say?" Reina blinked, not sure if she heard her sister correctly.

"What do you mean?" Ayumi asked with a head tilt.

"Guys, we should get going." Cyrus said to his friends with serious expression. "We're the ones who can stop this rampage."

"What he said." Kiba agreed, sliding up to the blunette's left.

"Yeah, let's go." Sora replied back with his own serious gaze. "It's Morphin Time!"

The Rangers all raised their armed wrists by their heads.

The team, in unison, pressed the red Morph button on their morphers, causing them to start glowing red, black, blue, yellow, and pink. They then thrusted their left arms out together. "Call of the Hero!" The team shouted in unison as they pulled their left arms back and used their right hands to spin the Morphers' top half at the same time.


(Morph sequence)

The screen split into five, Ayumi in the top left, Cyrus in the top right, Kiba in the bottom left, Reina in the bottom right, and Sora in the middle. The backgrounds changes to their respective element terrain as their Zords appeared in front of the Rangers. They all flew forward with ease, emerging with their Zords, creating their Ranger suits around them from neck to feet. They all somersault through the air before landing in their positions, then their helmets appeared on them. Then they do their poses as their elements burst behind them.

"It's Hero Time!" they shouted.

(End morph sequence)


They all suited up and did their fighting poses.

"Alright, let's get going!" Sora spoke up, holding up a fist.

"Should we go out the window?" Kiba asked, pointing a thumb into said direction. "It'd be more awesome that way."

Sora and the others didn't answer, before they ran towards the exit.

"What? What'd I say!?" Kiba exclaimed, as he followed after them.


U.A High School - Front Entrance

The Rangers had all burst out of the school doors and made their way through the courtyard.

"Wait, we still have a problem." Cyrus spoke up, getting everyone to stop and look at him. "Even if we go on foot, we won't make it in time!"

Reina sighed in agreement. "Damn, he's right! There's gotta be a way to get downtown faster."


Command Chamber

"Never fear, Rangers! I have something for just such an occasion." Katrina assured, as she moved to the center of the room. "Hold out your morphers!"


U.A High School

Looking at each others with confusion, the team all stood side by side and held out their morphers in front of them when they began to glow from within before five beams of pixelized light shoot outward. Then, out of the light appeared five bikes, one for each of the Rangers by the colors.

"Sweet!" Reina said as her eyes sparkled brightly.

"Amazing." Cyrus gaped in shock

"Wow." Ayumi squealed in delight.

"Cool." Sora said with surprise.

"These are your new Valiant Cycles." Katrina explained over the morphers. "They should have you at the Downtown District within mere moments."

All of the Rangers approached them. "Which one's mine?" Kiba asked, excitedly.

The others turned to him with 'Are you serious' expressions.

"I'm kidding." Kiba joked.

"Sure you were." Cyrus smirked.

"Hey, hey! Look at those bikes! They all look so cool! Are they all yours? Where did they come from?!""

Hearing Nejire's voice, the Rangers looked back and saw the Big 3 coming up to them, fully equipped in their hero costumes.

The girl of the trio who spoke now wore a royal blue skin-tight bodysuit with a high black collar, pale mint green markings covering her torso from over her shoulders to between her legs, framed with turquoise, a matching stripe of the same two colors around both of her upper arms. On her feet, she wore a pair of knee-high boots, a thinning flap buttoned on each thigh, with turquoise spirals around her ankles, matching the thicker ones above her yellow gauntlets and wrist guards. She had a black strap around the top of each thigh, two small satchels attached, and two spiraling horns of hair protruding from behind her ear.

"Sis." Cyrus acknowledged at the sight of his sister.

"Wow, nice rides!" Lemillion said in awe, donned in a white skin-tight top with the number "1000000" (one million) stamped across his chest in a bold, yellow font. The trimming on the top and shoulder pads was made in a matching fashion. On his waist, two green lines acted as a belt, along with some lines of similar appearance on his shoulders, which dip in places to form two V's. He also wore baggy dark blue pants and white knee-high boots. He wore a red cape as well as thick gloves of matching color. Lastly, his costume was topped off with a white visor with yellow lenses.

"Thanks, nice suits!" Kiba complimented back with a grin as he looked over their costumes. 

"Please tell me you all have driver's license for those." Suneater muttered lowly as he eyed the cycles. His costume consisted of a black bodysuit decorated with gold plating around the arms and shoulders. He donned a white tunic, matching cape, and hood with more gold layering on the top. The cape connected to a scarf-like collar with a silver front mask. He also sported a purple mask over his face and a matching purple carrier vest with red straps. He wears a mask over his eyes and is barefoot.

"Cool costumes, but why isn't your friend wearing shoes?" Reina questioned, pointing down at the latter's feet.

"It's so he can use his Quirk more!" Lemillion happily replied.

"Alright!" Sora nodded then looked at his team. "You guys ready?"

"Yeah!" The Rangers all exclaimed in unison before they all turned around they all sat on their Valiant Cycles. 

"Well, since we're all in a hurry, do you guys need a lift?" Ayumi asked the trio politely.

"Sure!" Lemillon nodded, as he was quick to accept the gesture to sit with Sora on the back of his bike.

"Are they safe?" Suneater cautiously asked as he was unsure about riding on some motorcycles; yet still sat on the back of Kiba's bike.

 "They're totally safe!" The blonde reassured him. "Just stick with us and you'll be okay."

"What about you, Nejire?" Reina asked the girl of the trio.

"Well, obviously I'll be riding with my twinsie!" Nejire chirped as she happily hopped down behind her brother.

"Okay then, let's ride!" Sora said before revved up his bike and raced down the street, followed by Cyrus, Reina, Kiba, and Ayumi.

"Yeehaw!" Lemillion cheered joyfully.

"Alright!" Kiba said as they jumped their bikes up.

"Aahhh!" Suneater shrieked with a terrified expression

"Yeah!" Cyrus whooped.

"Whoohoo!" Nejire giggled in excitement."

"Bitchin!" Reina said. "Listen to this baby purr!"

"Wahoo!" Ayumi cheered with a grin.

They landed their bikes on the ground and began racing off to save the city.


Japan - Musutafu City

Back in the Musutafu, the Batzlers poured into the city slaughtering everything in their path. While many heroes and police officers present were trying to put up a fight, but in the end, they were all overrun and killed or defeated by the swarm of grunts, their broken and bloodied corpses or unconscious bodies were now at the mercy to killer foot-soldiers.

Wolfbane howled loudly at the chaos as he stood in front of the Batzlers. "That's right, you puny humans! RUN!! None of you stand a chance against a force this powerful!"

There were a couple of downed Pro Heroes on the ground who didn't stand a chance against the the horde.

"Who the hell is he!? How's he so strong!?" The first hero, who is a D-Rank, asked while groaning in pain.

"I don't know! I'm more freaked out about those monster goons! They're so strong!" The second hero, who is a C-Rank, answered while coughing blood.

"Hm!? You guys are alive, eh!? I guess humans in this universe are tough!" The wolf cyborg then pointed one of his arms while facing sideways due to his confidence. "My fun was satisfying! Bye! Bye!"

"NO!" The third hero, who is a C-Rank, yelled in despair.

Suddenly, something slammed toward the ground with a boost of speed as the number one hero landed on the ground in last than three seconds and made them stop fighting to see who it was in front of them.

"What the...!?" Wolfbane screeched in surprise any annoyance.

"Have no fear everyone, because I am here to deliver justice to these villains!" All Might declared while standing between the humans and aliens with a serious expression.

"All Might!" The Pros shouted out in joy as the Number One Hero arrived to help them.

"Go and help get the people to safety, while I'll deal with these fiends!" All Might said while getting in a combat stance.

"Got it, All Might!" The second hero said to him with a nod. "You heard the man, let's pull back and evacuate these civilians!" He ordered the others.

With that said, the pros began to move the civilians away from the area as Wolfbane and the Batzlers stared down All Might. 'So, this is one of the vile creatures that the Power Rangers have faced.' The Pro thought with narrowed eyes.

"I was expecting the Power Rangers to show up." Wolfbane growled in annoyance. "So, where are they?!"

"The only person you need to worry about is me, villain!" All Might replied as he stood defiantly with a serious look on his face. "You and your minions have caused enough harm here, and I am here to put an end to all this destruction and mayhem."

Wolfbane's response to that was only a chuckle. "You seriously think you can take on an army this big, all by yourself?"

"It's not about whether or not I can. It's my job as the Symbol of Peace!" All Might declared, tensing up a fight.

Wolfbane snorted as he had enough listening to All Might. "Batzlers, turn this so-called 'Symbol of Peace' into a million pieces!"

The Batzlers let out several noises as they advanced on the number one hero to kill him. But All Might was more than capable of holding off the alien grunts with ease with his agility and strength, he was able to punch them all down in a single hit before they could do anything to him. His impressive performance grabbed the attention of all the Batzlers in the surrounding area, so they were all targeting him as if he was their main threat to worry about at all costs.

Unfortunately, he blew them away they would always get right back up for more as it was getting really frustrating for the number one hero. Yet none of them were able to do anything against him as he was avoiding all of their attacks with ease as it began to draw to a stalemate.

"Carolina Smash!" All Might shouted while rushing at the group of aliens with his arms crossed together, before unleashing a double-chop attack with extreme force that send them flying away. But like before the Batzlers stood right back up from the hero's assault without the slightest bit of damage. "This is getting me nowhere! No matter how much I hit them, they just keep getting back up for more!"

All Might then saw a few Batzlers aiming their blasters at him and began to open fire on him, as he jumped in the air to evade the attacks, but then throws a powerful punch that creates a blast of wind at them, and sent them flying backward into random objects.

When he landed, All Might saw the grunts surrounding him while pointing their claws at him.

"Not today, villains!" All Might replied before punching the pavement hard to whip up a shockwave of wind that caused the aliens to fly back, as continued to battle the Batzlers with all of his might.

"With that handled, I'll continue my search for the Rangers." Wolfbane snorted and made his way away from the scene.

"Hey, wait!" All Might shouted as he noticed Wolfbane walking away from the fight.

The Number One Hero tried to chase after him... only for more Batzlers to jump out of nowhere and prevent him from reaching their boss. 'Dammit, they just keep coming. And I don't know how long I can keep this up.' All Might thought to himself as he was suddenly feeling tired from fighting the Batzlers and how long he's been in his muscular form. 'I hope the others are having much better luck than I am.' 


Meanwhile, in a different location in the city, Vald King, Aizawa, Midnight, the other teachers and firefighters had helped the stream of people move away as quickly as possible, keeping their eyes open to avoid trampling. They soon learned that more eyes were scarcely enough to handle a completely panicked stream of people.

"I know it's a lot to ask, but please try to remain calm! We have the situation under control!" Midnight told the civilians. "Hey, be careful! There's a little girl there, don't step on her!" She warned a man as he was about to trample a little kid because he was rushing.

Ectoplam used his quirk to create multiple duplicates of himself to observe the surrounding area for people to help and Batzlers to fight.

Thirteen cused her Quirk (Black Hole) to help clear up any debris while making sure no civilians were caught by her Quirk.

Cementoss used his Quirk to help protect civilians from the Batzlers, while Snipe assisted by using guns, along with his Quirk, to pick off any grunt that came too close to any civilian.

"These Batzlers are such a pain to deal with!" Present Mic said while also using his Voice quirk to create a shockwave to keep the grunts in the area at bay as they were getting the civilians safety. "And my Voice Quirk is barely lasting long against them!"

"Thirteen, there are civilians who are trapped in some building," Vlad King told her as he released a long portion of blood from his arm, hardening it to attack the Batzlers.

"Got it! I'll head in that area now!" Thirteen said with a nod before running off quickly.

"Don't push each other around, you only risk getting hurt!" Cementoss said as he and a few firefighters were escorting the people.

"Sir, are you okay? I can carry you to the safe zone." Aizawa asked an elderly man who looked like he couldn't walk fast enough because of his bad back.

"Thank you, mister hero." The old man said now riding on the hero's back.

Luckily for the Pros and firefighters, Nezu was there to take a great weight off their shoulders, as he was the one to organize the rescue efforts with his brilliant intelligence and planning.

"Yes, very good. Now head to this next location on the double." Nezu told them while pointing at certain on a map for them to go to. "While the rest of you help in evacuating the civilians here to the nearest center." He said to them.

"Yes, sir!" The law enforcer shouted to the creature before running off to do their part in helping the people from the alien invanders.

Despite all the chaos that was happening all over the city, Nezu couldn't help but feel a thrill of excitement rising up inside of him at an era-changing moment like this.

"The winds of change are upon us now," Nezu said before looking up at the sky with a tiny smile. "And the Power Rangers are playing an important role in this new era." He stated as he was looking forward to what comes next.


In another location of the city, the sounds of human screams and explosions rang out from the streets as citizens were running and screaming in a panic with vehicles came flying out through an intersection and smashing against the sidewalk and buildings collapsing from being to unstable to support their weight anymore.

The Power Rangers and Big 3 all arrived on the scene now a moment too soon to witness as chaos unfurled before them as scared civilians fled past the eight young heroes.

"Oh my God..." Ayumi whispered in horror at the horrorific sight before her. 

"Look at all this damage." Suneater grimaced as he swept his gaze over the destruction.

"So ruthless." Cyrus agreed with a tense look.

"That's Alsatia and her goons for you." Sora stated with a scowl, listening closely to the haunting noises as they road through the street. "They're not showing mercy towards anyone."

"Well... look on the bright side!" Kiba said trying to cheer up the mood a bit. "It's a good thing we're here, otherwise there'd be a lot more enemies to deal with bef-"

"Kiba!" Reina cut him off with a disturbed face and stern voice. "Finish that sentence, and I'll personally rip off what makes you a male." She said as she did not want to tempt fate in this situation.

"So Mirio, what's our next move?!" Nejire yelled at her fellow classmate and friend, as she had been looking both ways at the destruction. 

"To make sure that this place is secure."

Although Mirio wanted to put an end to this madness quickly, he knew that blindly charging into danger was risky at best. After all, there was no telling how many more Batzlers were in the area.

“Mirio’s right, and I think the best way to do it is to divide and conquer." Sora spoke in agreement. "Ayumi, you and Cyrus go with Nejire while Kiba and Reina go with Tamaki. I’ll go with Mirio."

"Right!" The group chorused with nods, right before they all raced off in different directions in their respective groups.

"That's Alsatia and her goons for you." Sora stated with a scowl, listening closely to the haunting noises as they road through the street. "They're not showing mercy towards anyone."

"Well... look on the bright side!" Kiba said trying to cheer up the mood a bit. "It's a good thing we're here, otherwise there'd be a lot more enemies to deal with bef-"

"Kiba!" Reina cut him off with a disturbed face and stern voice. "Finish that sentence, and I'll personally rip off what makes you a male." She said as she did not want to tempt fate in this situation.

"So Mirio, what's our next move?!" Nejire yelled at her fellow classmate and friend, as she had been looking both ways at the destruction.

"For now, we need to make sure that this place is secure."

Although Mirio wanted to put an end to this madness quickly, he knew that blindly charging into danger was risky at best. After all, there was no telling how many more Batzlers were in the area.

"Mirio's right, and I think the best way to do it is to divide and conquer." Sora spoke in agreement. "Ayumi, you and Cyrus go with Nejire while Kiba and Reina go with Tamaki. I'll go with Mirio."

"Right!" The group chorused with nods, right before they all raced off in different directions in their respective groups.

Japan - Musutafu City

Meanwhile, in another part of the city, a large, winged dragon with pale gray scales flew in the sky and frowned as she descended onto a large building that was located deep within the city.

Her name is Ryuko Tatsuma, also known as the Dragoon Hero: Ryukyu.

Ryukyu had recently received a report from the police which led her to the said building full of civilians who were under attack by the Batzlers.

"I've never seen such destruction before...." She said as she grimly waited for reinforcements. 'I hope Nejire is alright...'

Suddenly, Ryukyu heard someone call, "Ryukyu!" As she turned to see who it was, only to see Hound Dog and a bunch of police officers together.

"Hound Dog." The Pro acknowledged as she quickly flew down towards them.

"Somehow I'm not surprised to see you here!" One officer yelled towards her from the ground. "You aren't exactly hard to find since there aren't many heroes who can fly!" He said watching Ryukyu switch back to her human form:

 A woman with chin-length blonde hair, which she wore swept back with a headband, a long fringe over the right side of her face, covering her eye. She has thin, yellow, inward-tilting eyes with slit pupils and notably sharp teeth.

Her hero consisted of a dark red, traditional with a pale green scale trim around her shoulders, which seems to only be slit on the left side, with yellow claw patterns on the bottom and smaller ones around her neck. She wears knee-high boots and a strap around her exposed thigh. She wears long, almost sleeve-like white gloves that nearly reach her shoulders, with higher tabs on the outer sides, and they expose her hands from the wrist. She wears a matching green headband with four large, pale purple claws attached, covering the right side of her face, and a set of small black dragon wings protrude from the back of her head, with a number of gold spiked cartilage piercings decorating her left ear.

"Please tell me that the rest of the civilians in the area are gone at the very least." Ryukyu  pleaded to the Pro and the police.

Hound Dog growled as he spoke to her. "I don't smell that many human scents in the area. So it's safe to say that we managed to evacuate them in time." He said making her sigh in relief. "But I smell those things around here too and there are a lot of them." He said making everyone worry as they knew who he was talking about.

"Then we shouldn't engage the enemy unless the situation calls for it." A female officer said to them with a professional tone like a soldier. "Hopefully, it won't come down to..."

Then suddenly, a horde of Batzlers emerged from a building, as they spread out to cause as much mayhem as possible and attacked the humans or made their way towards the city.

"Damnit! There's more of them pouring in on us!" A male officer yelled as he started shooting at the  closest to him with the other officers following suit. "We might run out of bullets at this rate!" He complained out loud.

"Then conserve your ammo. We might need it for later!" Hound Dog growled as he glared at the incoming Batzlers.

"Full charge, output 30!" 

A voice shouted while someone flew towards a group of Batzlers, revealing to be Nejire as she channeled her Wave Motion quirk around her hands into a single point. "Nejire Wave!" She then shot her hands forward to release a powerful long-ranged double surge at the Batzlers and flinging them away like ragdolls in the process.

"Nejire!" Ryukyu exclaimed in shock, only to hear the sounds of loud engines approaching rapidly from the distance, which got everyone's attention.

"Huh?" One officer said out in confusion at the noise.

The noise was getting louder and closer, when multiple blasts of laser fire struck down a couple of Batzlers in an instant as two people riding on blue and pink motorcycles stopped in the middle of the street with everyone gasping to see who it is.

"No way!" A female officer shouted in surprise. "It's them!"

"They're here!" A male officer yelled out loud while pointing at the two Power Ranger with everyone else shocked to see them here. "It's the Blue and Pink Power Rangers!"

"We'll take it from here!" The Blue Ranger announced, racing through the street and skidding past a few Batzlers. "Fire!"

He fired a laser from his bike and hit one, knocking it down, then turned his bike slightly and fired again, hitting another. He fired again and hit a third, then turned his bike left slightly and fired again, hitting two more as he raced off. He fired as two more charged at him, hitting one, then he fired two more times, hitting a few more while turning his bike right.

Ayumi jumped her bike up and fired her own lasers. "Heads up!" she said.

Her lasers hit several Batzlers as she dived past them all, knocking them all down. She skidded her bike 180 degrees around, while turning to blast several more.

"Wooo!" she cheered.

Soon after the Batzlers began to discharge electricity from their bodies and then they exploded into nothing but pieces with Nejire landing on her knee in front of the crowd with Ayumi and Cyrus riding up next to her.

Ryukyu, Hound Dog, and the officers couldn't believe that those teenage kids defeated all of the monsters alone and came out unscathed. It was like a miracle when everything when they started to lose hope, for Hound Dog now understood how special the Power Rangers truly were. 

"Already that's the last of them." Ayumi said letting out a breath of relief, as she gazed around at the destroyed pieces.

 "Wow! I didn't know those bikes shoot lasers! Now I really want one of those!" Nejire exclaimed with glee, as she hopped around the bikes.

"Nice work the both of you." Katrina said through their Morphers. "You really showed them who's boss."

"Yeah, but our work isn't done just yet." Cyrus said as he turned to the girls. "These attacks are happening all over the city. So we got our work cut out for us if we're going to stop the Batzlers."

"Yeah!" Ayumi and Nejire nodded in agreement.

"Nejire!" A voice called out to them. 

 "Huh?" Said blunette turned to see Ryuku, Hound Dog and the officers approaching them. "Ah, Ryuku!"The girl quickly launched herself into the former's arms with a smile.

"Hey, is everyone okay?" Ayumi asked everyone with concern in her voice.

 "No worries, we're all fine here." Hound Dog said as he crossed his arms. "You kids made it just in time. Speaking of, where's the rest of your team?"

"We decided to split up." Cyrus replied in return. "That way, we'd be able to stop this attack much quicker."

"I see."

 "So, you're the Power Rangers that everyone's been talking about lately..." Ryukyu spoke, as she placed Nejire down and gazed at the two teens.

"Yeah, they are!" Nejire nodded, before she went over to Cyrus and placed her hands on his shoulders. "And I also found out my twinsie here is one too!"

Both Cyrus and Ayumi looked at Nejire in shock for how she exposed her brother's identity.

"Nejire!" Cyrus shouted in panic.

The older blunette blinked in confusion. "What?"

"Your twinsie?" Ryukyu thought about what Nejire said until she remembered who she was talking about. "Wait, he's the same Cyrus that you told me about?!"

"Yup!"

"I see. I wish we could have met under different circumstances, but your help here will be much appreciated." The Pro said surprising the two teens a bit, as they didn't that kind of response from a hero since they were technically vigilantes.

Cyrus blinked in response before smiling back. "Happy to be working with you."

"Alright then!" One of the officers. "We'll handle evacuation, while you all focus on taking care of these villains." He said with a serious look.

"Yeah, that way no one will get caught up in the crossfire!" Ayumi said as they looked ahead and saw several explosions going off.

"Then what are we waiting for?! Let's get in there and kick some alien butt!" Nejire said with a thrilling tone.

"I'll take them from above!" Ryukyu declared as she took her dragon form once more. "Nejire, you're with me!"

"You got it!" The blunette nodded before flying after the pro.

"Okay! Now is a good time to go all out!" Hound Dog growled Batzlers before rushing at the Buglars to slow down the horde of enemies.

"I guess that means us as well." Ayumi noted, as she summoned her Sky Bowgun,

"Agreed!" Cyrus, swirling around his Sea Lance before they charged back into the fight to help their allies. "Back to action then!"


 Musutafu City - Elsewhere

Meanwhile, in front of one of the evacuation shelters located in the city, one Pro was enduring a rapid flurry of attacks from the Batzlers as he stood in front of a crowd of people.

This was Taishiro Toyomitsu, also known as BMI Hero: Fat Gum.

 He was a large, round man, easily towering over other adults. In this form, his mouth is wide, and his nose is smaller, which gives him an odd look alongside his odd body proportions. 

His hero costume consists of black pants and an orange, zippered hood, which has the initials of his alias on the front of Fat Gum, written with a clear FG and an inverted F. Alongside them, he also wears gloves, metallic boots, and a mask that goes around his eyes and over his forehead.

Soon, the attacks ceased as steam was coming off of his body. Though, he remained firm on his feet, despite that.

To say that these alien grunts were confused would be an understatement, but they were attacking the Pro with everything they've got from slashing at him with their claws to shooting him with lasers. Some of the alien grunts couldn't help but be confused about how he's able to endure all of that despite not wearing any kind of armor.

"Oh, you think you're so tough?" Fat Gum inquired rhetorically, getting their attention, "Well, I've had my fair share of brawls back in the day..." he pointed out. "You're not gonna take me down that easily!" 

With a determined roar, he reared his left fist back for a punch before throwing it forward, blowing several Batzlers back instantly as they crashed into various directions.

"GWAH...!" Fat Gum grunted out, coughing up blood. He had taken so many hits from those creatures that he was ready to fall over...

...only for more Batzler reinforcements show up, much to his shock.

'This isn't a normal villain attack! None of this fits their M.O!' Fat Gum thought with gritted teeth. 'Just what the heck is going on!?' 

The enemy charged onward, about to land another flurry of attacks. And the pro wasn't ready to counterattack. He had been worn down more than he anticipated.

Suddenly, his ears picked up on the sounds of engines and...yelling?

"What the...?"

He quickly turned her head and was shocked to see who it was responsible for the noise.

Reina raced her bike towards a dozen Batzlers. "Time to test this bad boy out." she smirked. "Fire!"

Her bike fired its lasers, hitting three of them as they charged forward, knocking them down. She fired again and hit another two as she jumped her bike up, then she landed on the ground and raced past the others. She skidded her bike around 180 degrees, then fired again, hitting another four, knocking them away.

"Let's get it!" she whooped.

"It's those Ranger guys...!" Fat Gum gasped,  mouth hung wide open in utter bewilderment as he took in the scene. 

"Yeeee-haaaw!" Kiba cried out in joy.

He fired lasers from his bike, which hit two of them, then slashed a third's chest with his sidearm blaster while racing past it, knocking it down. He skidded his bike to a halt, then turned it 180 degrees, before he fired more lasers from it, hitting two more, as the last came at him, before he slashed it down the chest with his saber, knocking it down.

Looking over, he saw several more Batzlers charging up energy into their claws.

"Bring it!" Kiba taunted.

The grunts fired purple arcs of power from their claws, but missed Kiba and his bike, as he skidded it to a halt while turning it 90 degrees to his left. He brought out his blaster and fired it, hitting the Batzlers repeatedly, until they all fell to ground in defeat.

"Ultimate Move: Kraken!"

 All of a sudden, a shadow launched off the back of the Yellow Ranger's bike as an array of tentacles extended towards the other Batzlers, thrashing them in a rotating wave.

"Is that...?!"  Fat Gum started to assume, glancing over to see none other than Tamaki there.

"Oh, that is hardcore!" Kiba exclaimed in awe.

"That guy's got quick reflexes..." Reina commented with a impressive nod.

"Tamaki!" the Fat Absorption Quirk user exclaimed, with a surprise expression. 

Hearing his name, the Manifest Quirk user looked over and gained his own shocked look upon seeing the Pro. "Fat!" He yelled, running over to him. "Are you okay!?"

"Yeah, I'm okay..." he replied, "Just took some pretty hefty blows from those guys..." he mentioned, before turing his gaze over to the approaching Rangers.

"Gotta admit, you really handled yourself out there, big guy." Reina commented, leaning on her hip.

"You two...you're part of that vigilante group from the news, aren't you?" Fat Gum questioned

 This prompted Kiba to stand heroically while flexing his muscles, "That's right. We're the heroes with attitude- ow!" But before getting could finish, he was cut off by Reina elbowing him in the side.

"It's okay, Fat. Principal Nezu allowed them to assist U.A with dealing with this attack." Tamaki assured the Pro.

"Exactly. Which is why our team split up to take down these Batzler freaks." Reina said coolly.

"Batzlers..." Fat Gum echoed. "Is that what they're called?"

Before anyone could reply, more Batzlers showed up and began moving in on the group.

"If you mean the orange claw guys heading towards us? If so, then yes." Kiba cut in, gesturing to the horde.

"Woman up, fellas!" Reina said as she rolled her neck around and summoned her Terra Axe. "We got work to do."

"Yes ma'am!" Kiba agreed with a mock salute before summoning his Savanna Claws.

"In that case, I'll join you!" Fat Gum declared as he stood by the the trio. "Let's show 'em what for!"

"Ugh..." Suneater groaned lowly as he prepared himself against the horde. "I wanna go home..."


In another part of Musutafu

Wolfbane and his entourage of Batzlers marched through Musutafu, attacking any and all humans that crossed their path. Cars were thrown like boulders, roads in complete chaos as people got out of them and ran for their safety, and in the center are the Vaglass causing chaos and destruction.

"That's right, you pathetic worms! Flee for your lives as it's the only thing you can do!" The monster howled loudly with the Buglars by his side, destroying everything in their path.

People were fleeing for their lives as a few heroes were seen either helping to get the people to safety or heading directly towards the chaos in hopes of handling it, unaware of the powerful forces taking part in the conflict.

Wolfbane wasn't done yet however, as he then fired red-colored energy lasers from his fingers at the buildings, completely leveling them and landing around him as his attack caused many explosions and endless destructions around him. After a minute of this, he ceased his laser attacks before chuckling at the devastation around him.

The fire was burning all around as ashes and smoke filled the air, making it as if the land itself had Hell descend upon it. Collapse rubble and wreckage of the buildings all around littered the landscape as the once blue sky turned red due to the intense flames and smoke and ashes all around.

Wolfbane laughed psychotically from the devastation he caused before he and the Batzlers were about to take off to cause more destruction.

"HAHAHAHA! Too easy!" Wolfbane laughed as he and the Batzlers marched down the abandoned destroyed street. "Come out, come out Power Rangers!"

"ENOUGH, CRIMINAL SCUM!" A thundering male voice, made the monster stop what he was doing and turn around to look up to see something bright falling from the sky at high speed.

"What in the?" Wolfbane said out in confusion, before It then crashed down in front of him, creating a massive crater and smoke cloud.

But before the PR villian could respond to the unexpected guest, a large pillar of fire manifests from the crater, revealing it to be the Numer 2 Pro Hero of Japan, Endeavor.

"I don't what you are or where you came from, but hoped you and you're friends had your fun because I'm going to incinerate you until you are nothing but a charred throne rug!" Endeavor declared as the flames on his body burn more intensely.

"Oh? Another human challenging? Why is it that the need to die is so strong within you lesser beings?" Wolfbane questioned in a mocking tone that only infuriated the flame hero. "No matter, If you wish to die so badly, allow me to grant your wish human!" The Cyborg wolf said as he was unphased by this human's fire.

"Fine, then villain. You'll regret ever challenging me to a fight." Endeavor said clenching his fists and then rushing at Wolfbane, launching several fiery punches at the monster.

Wolfbane did his best to dodge and block the attacks but was still hit by some of them, as a few of the Batzlers come running up to help the cyborg fight against the hero. But Endeavor then jumped back a few feet away from the villains and began to ignite his right hand in fire.

"Hell Minefield!" Endeavor shouted out his Ultimate Move while slamming his right fist into the ground, causing the surface to crack.

Endeavor then lights his fire into the cracks, sending a wave of intense flames towards the robots as an intense eruption of flames underground, resulting in a violent explosion above ground that struck Wolfbane and all the Batzlers at point-blank.

"ARRRGH!" Wolfbane cried out while he was ignited in the blast.

Endeavor removed his fist from the ground and stared at the massive wall of flames before him that almost stretched from one end of the street to the other.

He saw no movement of any kind and figured that the robots had been taken care of. So the flame hero folded his arms with a stoic yet satisfied demeanor. Though some would call this excessive force, but Endeavor would say that it was necessary to prevent these monsters from causing more chaos.

These strange-looking freaks were obviously a loose cannon, like those Powers Rangers.

Vigilante, Villain; it didn't matter...

They were all the same and they deserved no quarter from him or anyone else in his line of work.

"That takes care of them." Endeavor said with a scoff before unfolding his arms. "Now then, there's this more work for me to d-" But then the number two hero was cut off by the sound of laughter coming from inside the flames, which confused him as he turned towards it.

As the laughter grew louder, Endeavor's eyes widened in both shock and disbelief as the Wolfbane and the Batzlers all walked out of the flames perfectly fine as it seemed that the flame hero's Ultimate Move did little to actually stop them.

"That's not possible!" Endeavor yelled in disbelief, at how his strongest attack did noting to them at all.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA! Is that all you got hero?!" Wolfbane laughed at the pathic attempt to defeat him, as he and the Batzlers began to open fire at him.

Endeavor barely reacted in time as he removed out of the way from the laser blasts, but he failed to notice a bunch of Buglars approaching him from behind and grabbing the man in place.

"Let go of me you annoying pests!" Endeavor demand as he struggles to break free from the Buglar's grapes with the man using his quirk to burn them away, but it did not affect them whatsoever. "What is going on?! Why aren't my flames working on them?!" He thought in concern and frustration.

Then before Endeavor knew it he was shot multiple times by laser fire, and he fell back on the ground in pain with the Buglars releasing the man.

"Hell Minefield? I thought it would be hotter!" Wolfbane laughed as he walked up to the downed hero. "You humans have always been pathetic, even if you do have superpowers now." The Cyborg monster mocked him, as he grabbed Endeavor by his neck and lifted the man to his eye level. "I'll show you what real power looks like."

Wolfbane then used his right shovel arm to whack Endeavor with a full-force blow, knocking him through the air into several buildings as he was now out of commission. Unfortunately for him, several of the news helicopters filmed the fight between the Endeavor and the Batzlers as it was now seen by everyone.

'It's a good thing Her Grace and Scrozzle upgraded our bodies with a program that makes us immune to quirks, or else his flames would have melted me down.' Wolfbane thought as then to the Batzlers and began to speak to them. "Alright, it was fun to torment these humans but now let's get back to our main objective." He said with them heading to into the middle of the city.

To Be Continued...

Chapter Text


Japan - Musutafu City

"No way..."

"E-Endeavor was taken out in one shot!?"

Sora and Mirio had just finished eliminating a horde of Batzlers when they came across a TV store that broadcasted Endeavor's encounter with Wolfbane, only for it to end with the 's defeat.

After watching the end of the fight, Sora couldn't help but wonder how Wolfbane was able to defeat the Number 2 Hero.

'I don't get it. How was Wolfbane able to beat Endeavor without getting a single scratch or burn mark? Did Scrozzle, somehow, make him fireproof after reviving him? Immune to elemental attacks? Or immune to Quirks? If it's the latter, then it'll be really tough for any Pro to beat him. If it's the first two, then would my fire be strong enough to hurt him? Would any of my friends' elemental powers have any effect against him.' Sora thought to himself while staring at his hand and clenching it into a fist before shaking his head. 'I don't have time to worry about that now. People are in danger, and my friends and I are the only ones who can stop him.'

The Red Ranger turned his head to the older boy. "We should get going, Mirio. We still have a job to do." He told him firmly.

This snapped the blonde out of his stupor. "Huh? Y-Yeah! You're right!" He agreed determinedly.

"Then, let's go catch a wolf."

With that, the duo rode off through the city streets, now more determined to end this attack once and for all.

"STOP RIGHT THERE VILLAINS!" Numerous voices shouted, getting Wolfbane and the Batzlers to turn around to the source of the voices.

They spotted a good number of Pro Heroes running through the burning and devastated streets or through the air as they tried to head toward them. The Power Ranger villain merely snorted as he saw stupid humans approaching them in horde with an unamused expression.

"SURRENDER NOW OR FACE THE CONSEQUE-!" Many of the humans started to shout toward the invaders ahead of them.

Only to be cut off without warning as Wolfbane shot a laser blast from his horns that pierced right through one of the hero's bodies faster than a blink of an eye, killing them in an instant with the Batzlers followed suit as they began to attack the heroes as well. The heroes fought back as best they could but soon began to get overwhelmed by the grunts.

"Ugh... stupid human..." Wolfbane muttered with disgust in his tone. He can't understand how any of them would even think of facing the Queen's majesty.

They were all roaches that needed to be exterminated. And any foolish human on this planet who stand in their way will be exterminated too, as they all were nothing but insects that needed to be squashed. That included the Power Rangers.

Nearby, several Police Cars showed up near the Batzlers, then three of them turned to the Police, then then fired their swords/blasters at them. The blasts hit the ground in front of the cars, causing the drivers to skid them around. One then blew up as the cops inside got out, knocking them away, then another skidded and turned around so it was upside down, then a third crashed into another car, turning it onto its side.

Police SUVs then showed up, then pulled over, as Serena, Tsukauchi, and the others all got out. The Squad Leaders all stood at attention, while the others all rushed to get their equipment.

"Alright, listen up, I want these creatures removed without any damage done to the client's property, understood?" Tsukauchi explained.

"Yes, sir!" the officers said, saluting.

They all drew their weapons  and aimed at Wolfbane as the detective approached them, coming up behind Serena.

"Attention, Villain! You're under arrest for countless acts of destruction and the deaths of numerous officers and heroes." Serena yelled. "Stand down, now or we will use force!"

Several Batlzers began to approach them as Wolfbane stood firmly in front of them.

"Give it your best shot, little piggy!" He dared.

"Fire!" Serena ordered, aiming her gun.

The Police Force all fired their weapons, hitting several Batlzers and knocking them down.

"My turn." Wolfbane growled menacingly before firing red energy lasers from his horns at the police vehicles, causing some of them to explode.

 The explosions from the vehicles caused some officers to back away while most of them that were near the vehicles were sent flying, either knocking them out or killing them.

"AGHHH!" they all moaned.

"Ah!" Serena moaned as her hat fell off, and she fell onto her back, clutching her shoulder.

"And this little piggy will be the first to go!" Wolfbane sneered, reaching out to grab the woman.

"No, wait!" Tsukauchi pleaded as he pulled himself up to his knees before reaching for his firearm when...

Several red lasers hit he ground near Wolfbane, causing him to release Serena and fall onto the ground.

"AGH!" he moaned, falling to the ground.

The officers turned right and saw Sora riding forward on his Valiant Cycle, though Lemillion was absent. 

"Back off, Balto!" Sora yelled.

"It's the Red Ranger!" One officer exclaimed in surprise. 

Seeing this, the Batzlers fired lasers from their claws, creating sparks along the ground as Sora kept driving forward.

Suddenly, Lemillion appeared amongst the Batzlers from the ground with his Permeation quirk and punched at them like a speeding bullet.

"POWER!" He exclaimed loudly.

"Mirio!" Tsukauchi gaped in surprise. 

"Firing lasers!" Sora said as he sped forward.

He fired lasers from his bike as he raced towards a bunch of Batzlers, hitting two of them in the chest, followed by another two as he dived his bike down.

"Yah!" he yelled.

He fired more lasers, hitting three on his left, knocking them away, then hit two on his right, knocking them down.

"Yeah!" he whooped, firing more.

The lasers hit more Batzlers as he landed his bike, then he raced it along and fired more lasers, hitting three more Batzlers.

"Coming through!" he called, firing more.

The lasers hit the ground behind three Batzlers, creating an explosion behind them. He skidded his bike to a halt while firing more lasers, hitting more Batzlers, then skidded it around 180 degrees.

"Wahoo!" he whooped, firing more lasers as they hit two Batzlers and knocked them down.

Wolfbane climbed to his feet as he growled in glee.

"Red Ranger." He snarled

"The Red Ranger." He snarled as he walked menacingly towards his prey.

 But before he could reach his target, he was hit with an uppercut to the jaw by Lemillion, who appeared out of the ground after he finished taking down the Batzlers he was fighting against.

 Wolfbane reeled back from the blow until he shook it off. "What the-? Where did you come from?!" 

 "If you want to hurt my friend, you'll have to go through me first!" Lemillion said in a defiant tone that told the cybernetic werewolf that he was serious.

Wolfbane chuckled darkly at this. "Challenge accepted." 

 "Mirio!" Sora, who just got off his Valiant Cycle, saw this and immediately moved to try to help his friend. "Are you sure about this? You and I both saw what he did to Endeavor."

 "Don't worry about me; I'll be fine." Lemillion reassured the Red Ranger while keeping his eyes on Wolfbane. "Just do whatever you can to help the police."

 Sora moved his head towards the police and went back to Mirio before giving him a slight nod. "Okay, I trust you. Just be careful." 

"Okay, big guy, let's dance." Mirio said with a smirk of confidence before running forward at the enemy.

"Are you okay, M-" Sora stopped himself from accidentally revealing his identity to his mother before clearing his throat and speaking in a deep voice. "I mean, ma'am?" 

 While Tsukauchi was confused about why Sora was speaking differently, Serena, on the other hand, was confused about why the Red Ranger was concerned about her. "Um, I'm fine. Is there a reason why you're here?" 

 Sora, still speaking in a deep voice, remembered what he needed from the Police Force. "Oh, yes. I need you and the rest of your men to get to safety and inside the buildings, just in case if there're any people inside that might run into the line of fire. I need you and everyone else to keep off the streets until I deal with the threat."

 Even though Serena was surprised that the Red Ranger was thinking about the lives of both civilians and law enforcement, she was unsure about his actions. "Look, I may respect your idea not letting anyone get hurt, but why should I listen to a vigilante, like you?"

 "You might not like it, but you should trust him." Tsukauchi reassured Serena. "Sora knows what he's doing." 

 While Sora looked at Tsukauchi in shock, Serena looked at her fellow officer in shock and confusion about why he called the Red Ranger Sora. "W-What did you just say? Wait." She then looked at the Red Ranger as she realized who she was talking to. "Sora?" 

 Sora, who was now blushing with embarrassment, looked at his mom while rubbing the back of his helmeted head with his hand. "Hey, Mom. Surprise?" 

Before Serena could say anything, an explosion came up from behind Sora as he blocked a laser blast with his sidearm in its Saber mode. Suddenly, two Batzlers jumped towards him to attack, but Sora was ready for them.

While the two Batzlers were trying to hit him with their claws, Sora was dodging their swings and parrying their attacks with his sidearm. He then pushed one Batzler away with a back kick and followed it up by slashing the other Batzler with his sidearm before turning it back into its Blaster mode and firing a single shot into the first one's chest, taking both of them out of the fight. 

Tsukauchi was impressed by what he had just witnessed since he remembered what the Power Rangers were capable of from the meeting. Serena, on the other hand, was in awe at how her son performed all of that with ease.

 After seeing that no more Batzlers were around, he holstered his sidearm and turned his attention to his mother. "I know you have a lot of questions right now, but I promise to tell you everything once we this whole thing is over and we get back home. Right now, I need you and Tsukauchi to get your men to get to safety and keep any civilians out of harm's way. Please."

Serena might not like the idea of Sora getting hurt, but now wasn't the right time to argue with him. So she put her hat back on her head and turned to face her fellow officers. "I need men in those buildings to lead the people down and get them away from the streets. Let's go, people!"

Seeing the officers move into action, Sora nodded to himself and made his way back to the fight. "Alright, now I got a wolf to put down." He declared.


Despite facing off against the same monster that took down Endeavor, Lemillion was, surprisingly, holding his own pretty well against the cybernetic werewolf.

"Damn you, human! Just hold still!" Wolfbane roared with anger as he fired lasers from his horns.

"Sorry, but that's not my style!"

Sadly for him, Lemillion used his Quirk to sink into the ground to avoid the attack, which angered the cybernetic werewolf even more as he was now looking around for his prey. With Wolfbane distracted, Lemillion emerged from the ground to attack him from behind again. He reared his right arm back to strike the monster in the back of his head and unleashed the attack while also yelling, "POWER!" 

To the young hero's surprise, his arm was caught by Wolfbane's paw as the villain turned to look at his foe in the eyes. "Did you really think you could beat me by using the same tricks, human?" Wolfbane questioned as he increased his grip on Lemillion's arm. "I'll show you real power." Then, he pulled the boy's - while also loosening his grip in the process - and used his other arm to punch Mirio in the face to knock him away a few feet. 

"Arrgh!" The young hero cried out.

 Without giving the human a chance to recover, he fired lasers from his horns that hit the ground in front of Lemillion, which sent him crashing back first into one of the buildings.

Wolfbane chuckled darkly as he slowly approached the injured hero. "I'm gonna enjoy blowing this building down on top of you."

That was before a blast stopped him in his tracks. "Huh?"

The monster and Lemillion turned their heads and saw Sora running forwards with his Brave Blaster in hand.

"Sora!" Mirio yelled out.

"This little piggy is going to kick your ass!" Sora yelled as he fired more lasers, hitting Wolfbane in the chest, causing sparks to come out of him.

"AGHH!" he moaned.

Sora placed his blaster away and then jumped up with his pyro Saber summoned.

"Firebird Strike!" He shouted and slashed the blade down with a firey wave and hit Wolfbane, making more sparks come out of him as Sora landed near Mirio and held his saber out.

"AGH!" Wolfbane moaned, falling onto his back and away from them.

"You okay?" The Red Ranger asked the older boy.

"I'm fine. Don't worry about me." Mirio reassured Sora as he tried to stand up straight, but only flinched and got on one knee as he suddenly felt pain in his back.

Sora placed a hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry, I'll hold him off for a bit." He assured before turning his attention to his foe. "Just you and me, Dogbreath. And I'm sending you back to the pound!"

Wolfbane pulled himself back up and glared at Sora. "Cocky Ranger. Do you really think you can take me on by yourself?" 

"Who says he's doing this alone?"

Hearing the sudden voice, everyone looked to the side, and Reina, Cyrus, Kiba, Ayumi, Nejire, and Tamaki all made their appearance on the scene.

"Guys!" Sora acknowledged.

"Sorry we kept you waiting." Kiba grinned in a cheeky manner.

"Are you okay?" Ayumi asked, running near Sora.

"I'll be alright." Sora assured.

It was then that Tamaki noticed Mirio and the state he was in. "Mirio!" He exclaimed, making his way over to his friend. "Are you okay!?"

"I think his back is sprained. Do you think you and Nejire can get him to Recovery Girl so she can fix his back while the rest of us take care of Wolfbane?" Sora asked Tamaki, who nodded in response to his question. 

Seeing the look of uncertainty on his sister's face, Cyrus reassured her. "Don't worry, sis. We'll be fine. Just get your friend to safety."

Nejire gave her brother a quick hug- which he returned before helping Tamaki with carrying Mirio. "Please be careful, twinsie."

"Yeah. Please don't die on us." Tamaki told the Rangers as he and Nejire hurried off with an injured Mirio as they tried to find Recovery Girl.

Seeing this, the Rangers turned their attention back on Wolfbane.

"Well, lookie here. Four more Ranger piggys for me to gobble up!" Wolfbane joked.

"Yeah, keep dreaming, Fido!" Reina snorted in response.

"Let's send him back to the pound!" Sora declared, preparing for a fight.

"Yeah!"

Wolfbane then charged at the Rangers, knocking Reina to the side, followed by Cyrus, then Ayumi, and then Kiba, before grappling Sora. The Red Ranger then got loose and tried to punch him, but missed as Wolfsbane then swung his arm at him, knocking Sora aside.

Kiba and Reina then both grabbed his arm and hung on tight as Wolfbane tried to get them off. "Oh wow! What big arms you have!" Kiba said as he held onto the monster's right arm.

"All the more to crush you with!" The monster retorted back.

Reina looked at the two with annoyance. "Really? Are you doing this now!?"

With a howl, Wolfbane soon threw them both over him, knocking them towards two cars.

"Guys!" Ayumi cried in worry.

Sora glared at the wolf cyborg. "That's it!" He yelled as he charged forward.

"Right behind you!" Cyrus said, following his friend.

Sora threw a punch at Wolfbane, who blocked it and hit the red Ranger in the chest, flipping him over his arm, then swung his arms around to hit Cyrus, but missed as he ducked, then hit Ayumi, who grabbed his arm. He then moved his arm forward as Ayumi kept hold of it, then spun his arm around and tripped her over, knocking her down to the ground.

"Ayumi!" Cyrus before running towards the girl and crouching down near her. "Are you okay?"

"I think so." Ayumi grunted, clutching her arm.

"Not after this!" Wolfbane said as he then hit Cyrus in the arm as he got back up, and then they got locked in a grapple.

"Agh!" Cyrus groaned.

Wolfbane then threw Cyrus to his right, and then he hit a lamppost before falling to the ground. He then got back up and turned back to Wolfbane while clutching his chest.

The monster was about to attack him and again when bolts of lightning were shot around his feet, halting his tracks. He then turned to see Kiba and Reina charging over at him, the latter now holding her Terra Axe.

"You're through, mutt!" She barked with anger.

"Bad dog!" Kiba said before crossing his arms together. "Savanna Claws!"

He then held his arms out as his weapons appeared in his hands. The Yellow Ranger then dove towards Wolfbane - crossing his claws over each other as he did - and then tried hit Wolfbane, only for him to hit Kiba with his arm and flipped him over just before he could, causing him to land on him back behind the monster.

"Back off!" Sora yelled as he jumped, and Reina tackled Wolfbane away from Kiba.

The duo grappled with each other before they went rolling across the ground. Wolfbane hit the floor as Sora rolled forward, then he got up and turned around.

"Ahh!" he yelped, blocking a whack with his hands.

He then ducked and spun around as Wolfbane tried to whack him. He then sent a kick at Wolfbane, who blocked it with his hands, then sent a punch at Sora, who blocked it with his hand, then Wolfbane blocked a kick with his arm. He hit Sora slightly in the elbow, then blocked one with his forearm, before Sora hit him in the chest with his hand, knocking him back, then Sora spun around to kick him, but missed as he ducked.

"Come to grandma, Little Red Ranger Hood!" Wolfbane joked as he then howled as he charged at Sora.

"Not this time!" Sora said as he grabbed Wolfbane's horns while the latter reached him and wrapped his arms around his chest. Despite the crushing sensation he was feeling, Sora kept his grip on horns before he angled Wolfbane's back to his friends as he looked over at them. "Guys, light him up!"

The other then brought out their Brave Blasters. "Fire!" they all shouted.

Reina and Kiba then crouched down as they all fired at Wolfbane, hitting him in the back, but then he laughed as the smoke cleared. "Feels good!" he sniggered.

The Rangers all looked shocked.

"What?!" Aymui exclaimed.

"It had no effect on him!" Kiba moaned, looking at his Brave Blaster.

"Darn it! I forgot he's immune to that." Cyrus mused.

"That's right!" Wolfbane laughed, tightening his hold on Sora's back, causing him to spin around to shake him loose, and then the Red Ranger lost his grip and went rolling across the ground He climbed up to his feet as the other Rangers gathered around him.

"I'll show you real firepower!" Wolfbane said, arching his head back... before bringing it back down and unleashing a loud howl, causing a powerful shockwave to fly into their direction.

The Rangers all tried holding their ground and used their arms as shields, but the attack managed to send them flying through the air.


With the Rangers

"Ahhh!" The team cried out before crashing down into a building in a blast of wind and dust, blowing out the nearby windows as smoke belched from them.

Once the dust had settled, the team was seen scattered around the debris, groaning in pain.

"Ok...if you're not dead, say 'Aye'. " Sora managed to say.

There were a few groans before everyone said, "Aye."

"Oww!" Ayumi groaned, sitting up and rubbing her helmeted head.

"Are any of your ears still ringing, or is that just me?" Kiba asked, lying on his back.

Cyrus climbed up to his hands and knees. "I don't remember Wolfbane doing something like that when he fought against the Zeo Rangers." He told them.

"Maybe Alsatia and Scrozzle taught him a new trick." Reina said, pushing some debris off her left leg.

"So, what do we do?" Ayumi asked, looking at her friends.

"Well, using brute force and blasters won't work..." Cyrus said, recalling their fight with the wolf/cyborg.

"We need to work together and take him down." Sora said, standing up to his feet. "Like Katrina said, Rangers are at their strongest when they work together as one."

"You got a plan?" Kiba questioned, leaning forward in eagerness.

The Red Ranger smirked behind his helmet. "One that involves using those new moves we've been working on during our sessions for the Entrance Exam. "

The others Rangers looked at their friend/leader in surprise at hearing this before Reina smirked.

"Oh, hell yeah."


With Wolfbane

The wolf/cyborg monster was seen walking down the destroyed street in search of his foes, thinking that they couldn't have gone far.

"Come out, Rangers!" He called out, sniffing the air for their scent. "Don't even think about trying to ambush me! My nose knows where you're hiding."

Hearing a noise, Wolfbane looks up to see Sora somersaulted over him, followed by Reina, Cyrus, Kiba, and then Ayumi. They all landed in front of the monster before turning to face him.

"Who's hiding, Dog Breath?" Sora mocked.

"Hahahaha, you Rangers are more foolish than the last ones!" Wolfbane laughed. "Now, I'll just huff and puff and BLOW YOU AWAY AGAIN!"

"Not by the hair of our chinny chin chins!" Kiba told him, getting a groan from Reina.

Wolfbane then howled as Sora charged at him and then ducked as Wolfbane tried to hit him. Ayumi rolled forward when he tried to hit her, while Reina tried to kick him, but only hit his arm. Wolfbane then swung his arms out. As Kiba and Cyrus both grabbed one each, then Sora and Reina jumped up on his back and grabbed his horns.

"Ayumi! Now's your chance!" Cyrus called out.

"Right!" The girl nodded before she then channeled energy into her hands, as pink currents swirled around them. "Fluttering of Storm!" She exclaimed as she fired a blast of wind from her hands, engulfing Woflbane into a powerful whirlwind and sending him flying.

"Ahhh!" Wolfbane cried out, slamming headfirst into a lamppost and falling to the ground. "Hey! I'M supposed to blow you Rangers away! Not the other way around!"

"Go!" Sora called out as he and the others released Wolfbane and jumped away, just in time as  the monster climbed to his feet.

Cyrus then appeared on his left, not far away. "Time for your flea bath, now!" Cyrus moved his hands around as water surged around his hands. "Pulse of the Stream!" Cyrus shouted as he thrusted his hands forward, a burst of water out of them, hitting Woflbane, knocking him away.

"AGHHH!" he yelled.

The water vanished as he went flying away before he hit the ground, as Cyrus' water blast splashed on him.

Kiba was next to land near the wolf-cyborg. "Hey guys! What do you call a wolf that knows it's a wolf?" He asked as he snickered. "Aware-wolf!"

Wolfbane snarled in anger. "That wasn't even clever!"

Reina groaned at this. "Just fry him, dumbass!"

"Killjoy..." Kiba muttered as he began to charge energy into his hands, as gold bolts of electricity cloaked them. "Cry of Lightning!" The Yellow Ranger fired a blast of lightning from his hands, engulfing Wolfbane in electrical power while he screamed out in pain.

"Raaaah!" Wolfbane howled in pain as he was sent flying back and rolling across the ground.

"You're mine now!" Reina yelled as she charged at him.

"All right, no more fooling around!" Wolfbane barked as he stood up.

He fired lightning out of his horns at the Black Ranger, which she ran through without getting hit. Wolfbane then shot fire out of his mouth, which then exploded around Reina, but then she jumped forward in the air, performing a full twisted layout before landing on the ground. She then got to her feet and quickly turned to face Wolfbane.

"Time to woman up!" Reina said as her arms became encased in rock-like gauntlets. "Earth Impact!" She exclaimed before suddenly launching numerous punches at Wolfbane. Each punch that was thrown at the monster resulted in a small explosion, before one last punch was thrown in the form of an uppercut and Wolfbane flew up into the air and he landed on the hard shattered ground.

"Raaaaaaaahh!"

Sora then landed in front of the monster and then did his fighting pose.

"Come on, Wolfbane! We can't be harder to bring down than a house of straw and sticks, right?" He taunted jokingly.

That caused Wolfbane to reach his boiling point as he struggled to stand. "Oh, you think you're so funny!? Well, let's see if you're still laughing after this!" He then shot a steam of fire out of his mouth as it raced towards Sora.

"Alright. It's time to show YOU some REAL firepower!" Sora said as he cupped his hands to his side as a red hot ball of fire ignited to life into his palms. "Roar of Flames!" He yelled as he launched a ball of fire from his hands.

The two techniques hit each other with full force, and Wolfbane's fire was blown apart by the overwhelming might of Sora's flames as it raced for said monster.

"AHH!" he moaned, back flipping onto his chest as sparks flew off him.

"Let's put 'em together, guys." Sora said.

"Weapons Combine!"

The five weapons flew into the air, and as they began to combine together into one super weapon. The Sky Bowgun was faced horizontally as the Savanna Claws launched and connected onto both sides of the Bowgun, facing forward, acting as additional barrels to the cannon. The Sea Lance then connected to the front of the Crossbow's, similar to an arrow. Finally, the Pyro Sword was locked in on top of the cannon, similar to where an arrow would be placed in a crossbow as the Terra Axe connected to the front of the bowgun's handle, with the bottom half facing forward.

"Justice Striker!" They shouted before Sora aimed it at Wolfbane, as Reina and Kiba crouched down and held up the end of it, as Cyrus and Ayumi touched Sora's shouldhold him in place. 

"Oh, I'm so scared!" Wolfbane mocked, getting up.

"Ready!" Ayumi and Reina shouted together.

"Aim!" Kiba and Cyrus shouted together.

"Fire!" Sora shouted before the Red Ranger pulled the trigger.

The Justice Striker immediately sent out a powerful, rainbow-colored laser beam and hit Wolfbane dead on in the chest, which caused an explosion and made him scream out in pain again.

"AH! How could I fall to a bunch of Rangers AGAIN!?" he howled loudly as he fell over and blew up.

The Rangers all took their weapons back and turned around as an explosion went off behind them all.

"Who's afraid of the big bad wolf?" Sora asked, jokingly.

"Not us!" Kiba jokingly replied to Sora's question before giving him a high-five.

In Space - Alsatia's Ship

Inside the throne room, Scrozzle was standing before Alsatia as Igeron was glaring at the robotic scientist. 

 "You said that cretin was more than capable of destroying the Rangers, but they still live to fight another day. Have you been lying to us?" Igeron growled from his place beside Alsatia.

 "Do you seriously not know how to see the bright side in everything?" Ernesh spoke up, throwing a side glance at the centaur. 

Igeron retaliated by shooting a glare at the beast warrior. "What 'bright side' are you talking about?" 

 "That loudmouthed creature may have failed to destroy the Rangers, but did you forget how he easily overpowered those humans before they took him down?" Ernesh told him. "Plus, his fight with the Rangers showed us exactly what they are capable of." 

"Yes, I'd say that's more than enough." Alsatia responded with a small nod. "Ernesh does make an excellent point: by studying our opponents, we'll know exactly the best way to defeat them."

 Igeron could only roll his eyes and growl softly at Alsatia's words

"That's right!" Scrozzle agreed. "After watching their fight, we now know what to expect from them. And I can assure you that the next monster I summon will have no problems beating them, next time."

 "Very well. You are dismissed, Scrozzle." Alsatia commanded as Scrozzle bowed his head before leaving the throne room. 

Angered at this, Igeron whipped his head at his leader. "Your Grace! How could you let that oil-filled simpleton go!? Let me go back to Earth and finish those foolish humans!"

"No." Alsatia replied with a stern tone in her voice. "The only reason that the Power Rangers beat you was because you were feeling overconfident during your fight. We can't afford to make that same mistake. We need to be smart but careful with our plans. Do I make myself clear, Igeron?"

Igeron slightly shuddered in fear when he saw Alsatia narrow her eyes at him. To avoid suffering her wrath, he only lowered his head in shame and understanding. "Yes, my Queen."


Musutafu, Japan

 With the battle now over, the Rangers soon started to high-five one another while celebrating at their victory over Wolfbane and saving the city from being destroyed.

"Wooo! Our first battle against a past Ranger villain and we freakin nailed it!" Kiba shouted in joy at how awesome it felt. 

"You can say that again." Reina commented while holding up a fist as she and Kiba fist-bumped each other. 

 "If I'm being honest, I didn't think we'd actually pull it off." Cyrus admitted.

"Same here." Ayumi agreed with a nod. 

 "But we all worked together as a team and won. That's what matters." Sora assured the other Rangers before getting serious. "Right now, we need to check to see if the other Pros need help."

As the Hero Force Rangers were hurrying down the street looking for any Pro and/or civilian that needed help, they couldn't help but notice the destruction Wolfbane and the Batzlers left behind. Rubble and burning vehicles littered the streets while some buildings had flames that had firefighters trying their best to put them out. Ambulances even arrived on the scene to help any injured people get to the hospital.

Kiba whistled in amazement. "Damn, what a mess."

 "If it looks this bad, then I hate to see what a completely destroyed city looks like." Ayumi stated sadly as she tried hard not to think about what would've happened if she and the other Rangers didn't show up to stop Wolfbane and his Batzlers.

"It won't come to that." Sora reassured her with his hand on her shoulder. "As long as we're here, we'll make sure that never happens." 

 Ayumi smiled lightly underneath her helmet, silently thanking Sora for cheering her up.

 "Someone help!" The Rangers stopped in their tracks immediately after hearing a a voice cry out for help.

"Did you guys hear that?" Cyrus asked as he and the others looked around to find the source of the voice.

"Yeah," Sora replied. "Whoever she is, she needs help. Let's go, guys!"

Running over to the voice's location, the team came across a man stuck underneath some rubble.

"Hang on. We'll get you out of there." Cyrus told him.

"Y-Yeah. I'm fine." The man replied before his eyes widened as he saw who rescued him. "You... You're those Power Ranger guys!" 

 "In the flesh." Kiba joked with a thumbs up. 

 "What are you doing here, all by yourself?" Reina asked, as she stood between Sora and Cyrus.

"M-My wife left to get some help because the rubble was too heavy." The man explained as he struggled to move.

"Come on, let's get this off of him." Sora said holding on to the broken debris. "Rei, Kib, help me move this thing. Cy and Ayu, be ready to pull him out."

"Right!"

Reina and Kiba both held on to the broken part as well. Then with their combined strength, they lfted it off of the man in no time while Ayumi and Cyrus carefully pulled him out of there by the arms. Once the man was freed, the trio dropped the rubble back into place.

"That should do it," Reina said then looked at the man. "Can you move?"

He tried to get up but couldn't. "No." He said in disappointment.

"That broken part must've hurt his ankle."  Cyrus assumed before he placed the man's arm over his shoulder to help him stand.

 "Man, good thing we were in the neighborhood when we heard you call for help." Kiba said, wiping the dust off his gloved hands.

 "Do you know when your wife's coming back?" Ayumi asked the citizen.

As if to answer her question, the sound of sirens caught the group's attention as everyone turned to the left and saw a fire truck and ambulance approaching them. Upon coming to a halt, the Rangers saw a middle-aged woman hop out of the fire trucks passenger side and gasp as she saw her husband still alive and not under some rubble.

The woman hurried over to her husband with tears falling from her eyes as she embraced him with a hug, which he returned with his own gentle hug. "I was so worried about you. Are you okay?"

The Rangers smiled at the scene before Cyrus mentioned, "Other than a sprained ankle, he's going to be just fine."

"Thank you." The woman told the Rangers, her tone completely sincere. With that, she began helping the medics get her husband into the amublance before they soon drove away.

"Hey, should we regroup with the teachers? They might need help." Ayumi reminded the others.

 "Good point, Ayu. Let's get going, guys." Sora agreed with the Pink Ranger.

"That won't be necessary, Power Rangers." A familiar voice calls out to the team.

The group suddenly turned to see All Might landing next to them, much to their surprise.

"All Might!" The five Rangers said out in surprise to see the No. 1 Hero.

"Well done, everyone! That was an exceptional display of teamwork and determination." All Might congratulated the young Ranger team with a warm smile. "You all saved a lot of people's lives today."

"Ah, shucks!" Kiba grinned behind his helmet. 

"Oh! I-It was nothing really!" Cyrus said while rubbing the back of his head with an embarrassing blush on his face.

"Yeah, we were just doing our jobs," Reina said non-causally while shrugging her shoulder.

Sora's smile didn't last for long as he turned onward towards the city and looked at the aftermath of the battle with Wolfbane and the Batzlers. 

"We may have won the battle today, the war is far from over," Sora said out loud in a grim, as the others heard him and couldn't help but agreed with his statement.

"Indeed, this fight is far from over." All Might said with a frown as he knew this was only the beginning. 

"This isn't about heroes or villains anymore..." Ayumi  said while clenching her fist with a determined expression on her face.

"Right. With the past enemies here in our world, things are bound to get even more crazy," Reina stated with a scowl on her face.

"And knowing Scrozzle, he'll have even more enemies or us to face," Cyrus said grimly at the thought.

"Not to mention the possibility of the horse guy from before might be back too," Kiba commented to them.

"That's why we have to be ready when they attack again," Sora said to them with a serious. "We're not going to let them destroy our world just because they feel like it."

"Well say, young Ukashi. As heroes, it is our sworn duty to deliver justice to any and all evil." All Might said with a proud smile on his face at the boy's heroic passion. "But that can wait, as I think it's time we call it a day. You kids should head back home for now." He suggested surprising them.

"What?" Ayumi said with confusion.

"What do you mean?" Kiba questioned him.

"It's getting late and your parents are probably worried sick about you after everything that just transpired here today." All Might said to them, much to their surprise. "Plus, the fighting is over. Not much you can do now."

"Yeah, but what about the city? Should we at least stay to help out a bit more?" Reina asked as there were still probably more people who needed help.

"You five done more than enough for the day. Besides it's best to leave this one to us adults." All Might said to them with a smile, as the five teens glanced at one another. "I look forward to see you all at U.A. Now watch how a Pro exits, like he's got SOMEWHERE TO BE!" He took off as fast as he could, leaving behind a massive smoke trail and a small hole where he stood before.

"See that, you guys? THAT is a hero." Kiba commented.

"Yeah. You're not wrong." Ayumi agreed.

"I guess there isn't anymore for us to do then," Cyrus said with a weak tone before he rubbed the back of his helmet.

"Yeah. Let's get out of here," Sora said to them while rubbing the back of his head.

Just as they began to touch their morphers to teleport back to the Command Chamber, a voice called out. "SORA!"

"Huh?" The brunette looked over to Serena running up to him. "Mom...!?"

The others were taken back by this as well. "Ms. Serena? what's she doing here?" Cyrus asked once he saw the woman.

Reina blinked in realization. "Wait. How does she know you're a Ranger?" She questioned.

Serena caught onto the voices as she reached them. "You can thank Tsukauchi for that- who also knew about Sora being a Power Ranger and didn't tell me." Serena replied, still a little miffed that one of her good friends kept that secret from her.

"Tsk, of course it was the detective..." Reina clicked her teeth in annoyance.

"Thanks a lot, Tsukauchi!" Kiba yelled afterwards. "It's always the Man!"

After hearing the Yellow and Black Ranger's voices, she remembered that those voices belonged to two of Sora's friends. "Wait, those voices....Reina? Kiba?"

The Rangers could only stand in stunned silence as they were surprised at how Serena managed to deduce Reina and Kiba's identities.After what seemed like minutes, Kiba nervously broke the awkward silence. "Uhh... Hey there, Ms. S."

They all then touched pressed their morphers, and teleported away in streams of their respectful colors.

"KIBA!"

"What? She's onto us! I couldn't handle the pressure!"

Reina facepalmed her helmet. "Dumbass..."

"No point in hiding it now." Ayumi shrugged, already accepting what comes next."Hi there, Ms. S. Assuming you already recognize my voice, it's me, Ayumi Suzuni." Ayumi said calmly before gesturing to Cyrus. "And the Blue Ranger here is Cyrus Hado."

"Hi, Ms. Ukashi." The Blue Ranger waved sheepishly.

Serena became even more surprised not only by hearing Ayumi and Cyrus' voices, but also by hearing Ayumi confess about her and Cyrus being Power Rangers.Serena then turned to face Sora as her face now transformed from surprise to serious. "Not telling me that you're a Power Ranger is one thing, but you also didn't tell me that your friends are Power Rangers too?!"

Before Sora could speak, Cyrus stepped forward. "Before that..." he spoke, gaining everyone's attention. "Maybe we should talk more back at the chamber. It might not be a good idea to continue in public."

"The what?" Serena looked at the Rangers in confusion until Sora stepped in and offered his mother his shoulder. 

 "I think it's better if we just show you. Here, grab onto my shoulder."

"Huh? What for?"

"Well, if you want some answers from someone who can best explain it all to you, you'll just have to trust us." Ayumi explained to Serena.

"What do yo-" She was then cut off as the Rangers pressed their Morphers and teleported away in their respective colors.

On nearby rooftop, a man with many blades all over his body was watching the scene down below and had a very ecstatic look on his face as the Power Rangers vanished from sight.

He is an intimidating, muscular man who walks with a distinct hunch and has a flat, somewhat triangular face without a nose, which he removed himself, and an extraordinarily long tongue, tainted with numerous small papillae. He has rather long, black hair, which he wears in a messy fashion; it would drape over his face if not for his headband and mask, and small red eyes with tiny irises. He sports a dark combat suit, plated with metal armor across his body to holster his weapons. The torso is sleeveless, so he instead wraps his arms in yellow bandages, all the way from just below his shoulders to his wrists. He also wears long black wristbands and a watch on his left arm, and his knees are protected with metal pads, the costume is completed by black boots with steel armor. He always dons his signature blood-red scarf and matching headband, as well as the tattered cloth he wears around his face as a mask.

Chizome Akaguro, also known as Hero Killer: Stain.

Even though the Hero Killer was ecstatic to see All Might, his attention- as of right now- was mainly focused on the Power Rangers.

'So, those are the Power Rangers that I've heard about.' Stain thought to himself as he narrowed his eyes at the same spot the Rangers teleported from. "With those costumes and those support items that they have, are they like the unworthy trash that pollute this society, or are they true heroes like him. All I know is, they sure are an interesting bunch and I can't wait to see them again."


Command Chamber

The Rangers were teleported back to the Command Chamber, this time, they managed to land on their feet.

"Power Down!" The team said as their Ranger suits suddenly vanished, reverting them back into their regular clothes.

"Hey. We didn't land on our butts this time." Kiba cheerfully pointed out. 

 Sora nodded at that before turning towards his mother. "What about you, Mom? Are you ok-?" He paused as his eyes widened in surprise when he saw his mother hunching over with her hands on her knees while breathing heavily. 

 "MOM! Are you okay?!" Sora yelled in concern as he tried to keep his mother from falling over. 

 "What... just happened? And why do I..." Serena nauseatingly replied as she tried not to throw up. "And why do I feel like I've been on rollercoaster?" 

 "Don't worry about that, Ms. S. You're just... experiencing some slight nausea." Cyrus nervously replied as he saw the state that she was in. "I'm sure you'll get used to it in time." 

"Ugh..." Serena groaned out, shaking her head in an attempt to clear away the dizziness she was experiencing. Once she had cleared the dizziness away, she looked up and saw Sora kneeling in front of her. "Sora?" She muttered when realization hit her, causing her to quickly stand up. "Sora! What happened!? What was the bright light!? Wh-"

She was cut off as she then noticed Reina, Cyrus, Kiba, and Ayumi all awkwardly standing nearby, as well as the odd and futuristic room they were now in. "Where... are we?"

"Well... our HQ?"

The woman looked at her son, perplexed. "I'm sorry, what? HQ?"

"Yeah, this place is called the Command Chamber. This is where Katrina, our mentor, resides."

"Command Chamber? Mentor?" Serena repeated in confusion, rubbing her head. "I have so many questions right now."

Before anyone could say anything, Katrina appeared before the Rangers and their guest.

"Well now, This is quite surprising."  as she floated near the team. "May I ask why Officer Ukashi is here?"

"Ahhh!" Serena screamed, jumping backwardw and pulling out her gun as the Rangers jumped backward as well.

"Whoa!" They all said in unison, shocked at the sudden action.

Sora stepped in front of his mom to hold her back. "No, Mom Stop! Easy!"

"What is that thing!?" She demaded.

"I'm not a thing. I'm a she." Katrina corrected, floating in front of the woman. "And you must be Serena Ukashi, Sora's mother."

The woman tense up in turn, not expecting...whatever 'she' was to know her name. "How do you know my name?" Serena asked.

"To answer your question, when I asked Sora who his mother was, he told me who you were and what kind of person you were. Also, looked you up on the internet." Katrina answered truthfully before turning to the Rangers. "Now, would any of you be so kind to explain to me why Officer Ukashi is here?"

Sora let out sigh as he raised a hand. "It was me. I was the one who suggested the idea."

The other Rangers looked at Sora in surprise, especially Cyrus- since it was his idea to bring Serena to the Rangers' HQ. "Sora, what are you..." The bluenette began, only to be stopped by his friend.

"I know it wasn't wise of me to do so, but since my Ranger secret was discovered...I figured it was better to bring her here instead of someone else finding out."

Katrina was quiet for a moment before speakng. "I see. Well, while I concur that it was unwise of you to bring your mother here, but practical in a way since she knows your Ranger identity and would have properly taken you away from us. But nevertheless, from what you've told me and the file on her from the police database, she has proven herself to be a great ally. But next time, talk to me about it all right?"

 "Noted." Sora nodded while the A.I mentor turned around to face Serena.

 "Now with that settled, I welcome you, Serena Ukashi to the Command Chamber. It is here that the Rangers operate and train for the next attack, it is a home away from home for them."

The female officer was stunned by that fact as she slowly placed her gun back in its hoister. "Okay. Sora, what's going on?" She looked over at her son. "Who is she and where are we?"

"This is Katrina or to be more accurate, a A.I. program." Sora said to her. "She's the reason we were able to morph into Power Rangers."

"Power Rangers?" Serena curiously asked, as she remembered the teens calling themselves that name before. "That's what everyone has been calling you all. What in the world is a Power Ranger?"

"I'll be happy to tell you. Now, as I said to Sora and his friends, everything I'm about to say and show to you is the truth, and please hold off on any questions you may have until I'm finished." Katrina said to the woman.

Just like what she did to did with the new Rangers, Katrina showed Serena the history of the Power Rangers. And like the group, Serena was shocked by what she was seeing. To think there are heroes like this and the things they fought.

She was surprised to learn that the Power Rangers were heroes from different universes and timelines that fought against all types of evil. But she was even more surprised that all the Power Rangers were quirkless before becoming Rangers. After seeing what they teens did made them question every single thing they knew about quirkless people being heroes.

After finishing the story of the Power Rangers, Serena stood there, beyond blown away by what she just saw.

"And now our story brings us here to the present." Katrina said, referring to the Hero Force Rangers. "As you just saw, most of the Earths in the multiverse has a Ranger team based there. This one, unfortunately, doesn't. And with that, your planet is in grave danger." She explained, gaining Serena's attention.

"What do you mean?" Serena asked.

"The world is under attack by none other than Alsatia, an intergalatic sorceress who is bent on controlling the universe. Those creatures you saw today and months prior were her soldiers, and with them, she plans to conquer Earth." Katrina told her befor she then gestured to the new Rangers. "I was requested by the Morphin Masters to find a group of brave souls with strong wills and attitude that will carry on the legacy of the Power Rangers. Your son, Sora, was selected along with Reina, Cyrus, Kiba, and Ayumi to become the next generation of Power Rangers."

"Okay, wait. So, you think Sora and his friends should be running around in costumes and beating up these aliens?" Serena questioned incredulously.

"To put it simply, yes." Katrina answered with a nod.

"This is ridiculous," Serena said heatedly, "You can't possibly suggest that these kids should put their lives on the line!"

"They already have," Katrina retorted, "Every Ranger have."

"That's different!" Serena retorted as she glared at Katrina, "They are only 15 years old!"

"Yes, they are." Katrina agreed as she turned her attention towards the group, "And what a great burden they've been given at such a young age."

"Exactly! So..."

"But let me ask you this," Katrina continued as she turned back to the woman, "What would have happened if your son and his friends hadn't done what they did today? How many people would have been hurt? How many would have been killed?"

Serena offered no reply, and Katrina sighed sadly as she looked the woman sympathetically.

"I'm sorry to be the one putting you in this position," She said, "But I've learned from hard won experience that power comes in all sorts of shapes and sizes, but that no matter what form it takes, one thing always hold true."

"What's that?" Cyrus spoke up for the first time since Kartina had explained Ranger History again, drawing her attention to him.

"That power always comes with the weight of responsibility," Katrina intoned seriously, "And with great power comes great responsibility."

"You sound like you're talking from experience," Reina observed.

"I suppose I am," Katrina nodded in agreement. "Which is why I want to mentor you all. Not to demand that you put yor live on the line for others, but to share what I know. And what I know is that, more often than not, people like you became heroes after some great tragedy pushed them to do it. Something that forced them to learn to use their powers responsibly. I wanted to see if I could prevent that for you. To give what little wisdom I have without the pain of earning it."

"I don't know who you think you are, coming in here and demanding that my son and the others put their lives on the line!" Serena snapped as she rounded on Katrina.

"I'm not demanding anything," Katrina replied as she held her hands up towards Serena, "I've just seen the way this story goes before. Ultimately, the choice is neither of ours."

"Oh?" Serena replied combatively, "And whose is it then?"

"It's ours," Sora answered, causing Serena to turn and look at him in shock. "And we already decided that we're going to do this."

"Sora, you can't be serious!" Serena exclaimed.

"How can I not be, Mom?" Sora argued, "People are alive because I was there! All of us!"

"You're a child!" Serena stated heatedly.

"A child who can do things to make this world better!" Sora retorted as he held up his left arm, showing his Morpher. "It's like Katrina said, I have a responsibility to use my powers to help people!"

"I don't care what nonsense this stranger has put in your head!" Serena snapped, "I forbid you from -"

"From what? Helping others like me!" Sora shouted as slience fell over the room. "You don't even know how much I went through for all these years! I've been treated like garbage in school just because I'm nothing like them! Because I wasn't born with some fancy ability! Even the teachers don't give a crap about me! What was I supposed to do!? I'm so sick of being treated like that all the time! And when I'm standing up for myself, what do I get from you now? A friggin' lecture! I thought you'd be proud of me!"

"Sora, I just -"

"No, Mom. I have to do this." Sora spoke with conviction. "I finally have a purpose in life, and I'm going do whatever I can to help. "Which is why I'm going to U.A. to become the first ever Quirkless person and Power Ranger to go there."

Kiba raises his fist and yells "Ayyyy-yep!"

The yellow Ranger stands like this for a moment as everyone looks at him strangely before putting his hand down with an embarrassed look on his face "Sorry...I thought we were having a moment."

Sora turns back to his mom. "Mom. look. l know that I lied to you and I am so sorry. But all my life I wanted to be just like you, someone who protects others and makes them feel safe. This is my chance to do that."

"Serena? If I may?" Said Katrina before continuing. "You raised a compassionate person who only wants to help, but he won't do it alone. He'll have them." She gestured towards the others.

Serena looks at the A.I then the rest of the Rangers before sighing. "Honey, l don't want to lose you."

"Mom... you won't, I'll make you proud."

The others in the room watched as mother and son were now on good terms about the issue.

Eventually, the two family break away from their hug, having decided that the crying was enough and that more pressing matters needed to be addressed. "Okay..." Serena spoke, clearing her throat. "Now that we got that out of the way, what's going to happen now? Because I'm pretty sure that the media is going to be talking about what you all did today."

"You don't have to worry about that," Katrina reassured Serena. "If it's anything like when the Rangers first made their debut, they should be fine considering that no reporters caught a glimpse of the Rangers' identities. And with the Ranger Danger app fully operational thanks to Cyrus, we'll be sure that an attack like this doesn't happen again on a much larger scale."

Serena turned her head in astonishment to Cyrus, who was rubbing the back of his head with his hand in embarrassment.

"Yeah, the dude's a lot smarter than he looks." Reina commented with a proud smirk on her face.

"I'm not that impressive." Cyrus shyly commented as an embarrassed blush slightly grew on his cheeks.

"'Not that impressive'?" Kiba repeated with a raised eyebrow. "Dude, you made a phone app. Pretty soon, you'll be making your own video game or even a new Zord!"

"Okay, now you're just being ridiculous." Cyrus deadpanned at Kiba.

While the Rangers were busy laughing and adding their own thoughts into the conversation, Serena and Katrina watched from the sidelines.

"You know, you're really lucky that your son found some really interesting and entertaining friends." Katrina softly told Serena.

"Yeah. I really am." Serena replied with a proud smile on her face as she saw Sora having fun with his friends.

Chapter Text

1 Month later...

It's been over a month since Serena has learned about Sora and his friends being the Power Rangers. The team would also spar against more holograms that Katrina created to increase their skills in combat.

Their martial arts have improved as well, even Sora, who was one of the strongest fighters on his team when it came to hand-to-hand combat.

Katrina saw the progress that the Rangers were making during their sparring matches, practically getting stronger, faster, and better every day. She was sure it would scare the Pros at how so many young students be able to adapt and increase the output of their abilities almost flawlessly.

Now a month of training has passed, and the Hero Force Rangers had grown stronger from their mentor's training and guidance. And soon, they found themselves in the Command Chamber, discussing what class they were in.

"So what class is everyone in?" Sora asked as he and the others then took out an envelope they got in their test results letter along with the disk that showed the holographic screen. "I'm in 1-A." He told everyone.

"Same here," Reina said as she saw she also got into class 1-A.

"I also got into 1-A!" Ayumi said happily.

"Make that 4." Cyrus said, holding up his envelope.

"5." Kiba grinned in a cheeky manner. "So, we all got the same class, huh?"

"Must've been the Principal." Sora assumed, rubbing his chin. "Since he saw how well we worked together, maybe he was looking out for us."

"Sharp as always, Sora." A familiar voice spoke out as the Rangers turned and saw Katrina appear before them with a smile. "Congratulations on going to UA, Rangers."

"Well, we can't take all the credit," Reina said with a grin, folding her arms.

"She's right." Cyrus agreed. "You're the one who made us Rangers in the first place. So, we should be thanking you."

The A.I. waved off their praise. “I just did what was necessary. Besides, I knew you all could do it. Despite being Quirkless, you never gave up even when the odds were stacked against you. And with all of those months of training to be this world’s Power Rangers, you all accomplished something that no one else could do; and I couldn’t be any prouder than I already am.”

The Rangers couldn’t help but smile at what their mentor told them. 

 “Thanks Katrina.” Sora thanked Katrina. 

 “Don’t mention it, Sora.” Katrina returned Sora’s gratitude with a nod. “That’s all I wanted to say for today. As for all of you, take the rest of the day off since you’ll need plenty of rest if you’re going to U.A.” 

 The Rangers nodded in agreement since they all know that they need to be ready for the first day of going to U.A. High. 

 “You got it, Kat!” Ayumi yelled out as she placed her hand in the middle of the group.

Reina smirked as she placed her hands on top of Ayumi's. Cyrus came in next, followed by Kiba, then finally, Sora on top.

"Till THE AGE OF HEROES END," The team roared in response, releasing their tower of hands into the air. "RANGERS DEFEND!"

The spring season has come. April was finally here, and it was the morning of the first day of school, with Sora in his room getting ready for school... though he didn't really start out his day great.

"CRAP! CRAP! CRAP! I'M GONNA BE LATE!"

For starters the alarm on his phone didn't go off, and Serena wasn't home. He threw on his uniform which consisted of a long-sleeve gray jacket with blue-green stripes. His jacket was opened, and under it, he'd had a red short-sleeve hoodie just like his old middle school uniform. His pants were dark blue-green, with his Red Morpher on his left wrist.

After that, the brunette then bolted out of his room, downstairs, and out of the house.

Just as he ran down the block towards UA, he heard someone call out to him. "Sora!"

Turning his head, he spotted his friends running up to him in their uniforms as well. While Kiba and Cyrus wore uniforms similar to his own, the girls were now currently wearing the female uniform for UA., which consists of the same gray vest over a white dress shirt and red necktie, but with a dark green skirt, (black tights underneath for Reina), and white, shoes with white soles.

"Wow..." Sora muttered as his cheeks turned a rosy red, upon seeing Ayumi in uniform.

"Hey, Leader! Get out of your little world right now, or we're going to be late!" Reina exclaimed, knocking him out of his stupor.

"Huh? Oh, right!" Sora said as they all took off down the street. "You guys are running late too?!"

"Yeah! I had a lot of trouble getting my stuff together!" Cyrus said.

"And my damn alarm didn't go off!" Kiba shouted.

"Well, so much for making a good first impression!" Reina groaned out loudly.

"Hopefully whoever our teacher is won't scold us for life!" Ayumi added in, trying to stay positive.

"Yeah! Hopefully!" Sora said as they ran down the street.


U.A High School - Morning

They finally managed to reach the school yard and they weren't surprised to see that there weren't any other students within the front yard of the school. They quickly ran inside and up the stairs before dashing down the hall to find their classroom.

"Let's see...Class 1-A, where is it, where is it?" Reina said as she looked at a small piece of paper.

"Oh hey! I see someone!" Cyrus said, pointing ahead. "We can ask...them?"

They slowly came to a halt when they saw a familiar thin freckled boy with moppy green hair and shining green eyes running ahead of them. His entire body seemed to give off one big bubble of nervous energy, but he looked just as excited as the rest of them to be there.

"Hey, is that...?" Kiba began to say.

"Izuku!" Sora called out, causing the boy to slightly jump and stopped in place.

"Huh?" The greenette looked over and saw the Rangers coming his way. "O-Oh, it's you guys."

"Yo, Greenbean!" Kiba greeted him with a grin. "Good to see ya!"

Sora took notice of the boy's uniform. "It's great to know that you got into U.A."

"Hello, fellow classmate!" Ayumi greeted him playfully.

"Classmate?" Izuku blinked before perking up. "Wait, does that mean you all got Class 1-A too?"

"Right on the nose." Reina joked, tapping her nose in the process.

"Why don't we help each other find the class together?" Cyrus offered with a smile.

"Oh! You sure? That's really nice of you! Thanks!" Izuku stated.

Soon, they found themselves in front of a comically oversized sliding door, which had a red '1-A' painted on it.

"Isn't this a bit much?" Sora said with a sweat-dropped.

"Wow..." Ayumi gaped in awe. "... It's so tall."

"With that kind of size it'd fit a whole house in that classroom." Kiba had commented.

"You'd think they're compensating for something." Reina spoke, folding her arms.

"I guess with people like Mount Lady having Giant Quirks, it would make the most sense." Cyrus added, scratching his head.

Izuku couldn't help but gulp as he said, "The elite are chosen from a huge number from the exam..."

"Oh yeah, that's right..." Ayumi said as she thought to herself, "Well, as long as I don't see that jerkwad from before, I'm good."

"Not to mention that asshat from the auditorium..." Reina snorted, thinking about a certain glasses-wearing teen.

Kiba put on a grin as he put his hand on the door. "Welp, no time like the present!" He shrugged enthusiastically, sliding the door open to see...

"Take your feet off of that desk now!" A familiar blue hair boy was yelling at another familiar blonde hair boy.

Bakugo smirked, taking pleasure in annoying the boy. "Huuuh?"

"It's the first day and you're already disrespecting this academy by scuffing school property, you cretin!" Iida scolded him.

The group was standing in the doorway looking at the argument between Bakugo and Iida. Kiba had a confused look on his face, Cyrus looked surprised, Izuku was scared, and Sora had a deadpan while Reina's eyes were twitching in annoyance.

"Of course," Ayumi said, puffing her cheeks in anger.

"Not even an hour of class yet and those two are already irritating." Sora thought in annoyance as they were the last two people he wanted to be stuck in a class with.

He looked around the rest of the class to see the other students wearing U.A. uniforms.

He surprisingly saw Mina Ashido and Kyoka Jiro, along with some new faces.

The second student was Tsuyu Asui.

She is a short girl of a relatively slender build and has notably large hands. Her appearance is rather frog-like; she has a very wide mouth, which dips down a little in the middle just like that of a common frog, and oval-shaped eyes with large, black irises, their lower eyelashes visibly pronounced. Her hair is a dark sea-green color and is very long, reaching all the way to her waist with the ends tied together at the bottom in a large bow of hair. She has two shoulder-length clumps framing her face and shorter bangs between her eyes, some of them partially swept to each side.

The third student was Mashirao Ojiro.

He is a young man of muscular build and has short blond hair, swept to the front of his head. He has thin eyes with no lower eyelashes. Unlike the other students in his class, he wears pale gray sneakers with his school uniform instead of the brown dress shoes worn by everyone else, and the bottom button of his blazer he leaves casually undone. Due to his quirk, he also has a tail.

The fourth student was Denki Kaminari.

He had relatively short blond hair, parted to the right with a black lightning-shaped streak on the left of his side fringe, which is angled so that it partially obscures his left eye. He has slanted, somewhat triangular yellow eyes, and notably small eyebrows. He's slimmer than most of the other male students in the class, not having much visible muscle mass.

The fifth student was Eijiro Kirishima.

He is a muscular young man of average height and a rather impressive physique for his young age. He has red eyes that are pointed slightly inwards and a small scar just above his right eye. He also has small eyebrows and pointed teeth. His hair is somewhat long, dyed a bright red, and spiked away from his head at all angles with gel, two more pronounced tufts spiked on either side of his forehead like little horns.

The sixth student was Koji Koda.

He is a tall young man of a wide, muscular build with peach-colored skin. His head takes the form of a rock, which is unevenly shaped and pointed at the top of his head, and his jaw is square-shaped.

The seventh student was Rikido Sato.

He is a tall, very muscular young man with a wide build. His brown hair is short, and spiked upwards away from his head. He has rather small, square-shaped eyes with small black pupils and has a pair of bushy eyebrows just above. He has very large and thick lips which are slightly darker in color than the rest of his skin, and a notably large, round nose.

The eighth student was Mezo Shoji.

He is a tall, muscular young man with pale gray hair swept forwards, covering most of his face, and bent downwards at almost a right angle over his eye. He has six arms, all attached to each other by a web of skin, which are very physically strong, and while his Quirk is not in use only the front two arms have hands, the rest ending in thin stumps. He has a slightly elongated face, his eyes set more towards the sides, he has always kept hidden by a blue mask, which covers him from just below his eyes to the base of his neck.

The ninth student was Hanta Sero.

He is a tall, lean young man with chin-length black hair, spiked downwards, with jagged bangs coming about halfway down his forehead. He has almond-shaped eyes, usually stretched quite wide, and rather large, with small pupils, straight teeth that dominate his grinning, he has a rather plain face.

The tenth student was Fumikage Tokoyami.

He is a short young man with the head of a black bird, possibly supposed to resemble that of a crow or a raven. He has a tan, yellowish beak which is slightly hooked down at the end, thin, red eyes with a small black pupil, one on each side of his head, and a red choker, which he rarely removes. Despite the appearance of his head, however, his body is of normal human shape, with rather fair skin.

The eleventh student was Shoto Todoroki.

He is a reasonably tall and rather muscular young man who is well-built for his age. He has quite long hair, though it doesn't pass his neck, and wears bangs, parted twice so as to not obscure his vision. His hair is evenly split between two colors: white on his right-side and crimson red on his left. He also possesses heterochromia iridum, which causes his left eye's iris to appear turquoise, while his right is a somewhat brownish dark gray. His eyes, in shape, are quite thin and reserved, and he also has a large burn scar on the left side of his face, which reaches from his hairline to halfway down his cheek.

The twelfth student was Toru Hagakure.

She is a fairly short girl with a completely invisible body. She was wearing a U.A. female uniform covering her body. Her body appears to be slender yet fairly curvaceous.

The thirteenth student was Minoru Mineta.

He is a very short teenage boy with a large, round head, and rather puffy cheeks. His nose is small, stubby and points slightly upwards, and he has an unusually distinguishable philtrum, oval-shaped eyes with large, black pupils, and notably thin eyebrows. He has four large purple and black balls in something resembling a mohawk where his hair should be.

And the final student was Momo Yaoyorozu.

She is a tall teenage girl with a rather mature physique. She has long black hair that is normally tied into a spiky ponytail with a large strand hanging on the right side of her face. Her eyes are thin and sharp, dark in color and paired with short eyebrows set in a determined expression.

Sora thought there were some interesting people, probably with some amazing quirks. But his thoughts were cut off with all the noise Bakugo and Iida were making.

"You're kidding me, right?!" Bakugo laughed, causing the glasses boy to step backwards. "Your old school put a stick up your ass or were you born with it?" He said arrogantly.

The brunette just rolled his eyes to this. One guy was uptight who always followed the rules and the other was an arrogant dick who thinks he's better than everyone. Why did he have to get a class with these two?

"Would it be wrong of me to hit both of them...?" Reina whispered in a low tone.

The glasses-wearing boy opened his mouth to speak before pausing, then placing his hand on his chest. "Let's start over." he reached his other arm out. "I'm Tenya Iida from the Somei Private Academy." He said trying to be nice.

The blonde boy's face twisted into one of annoyance, his head tilting from side to side. "Somei, huh? So you must think you're better than me! I'm gonna have fun tearin' you a new one!" Bakugo said with a snarky smile.

"You would threaten me?! Your own classmate?! Are you sure you're in the right place?" Iida said, gasping as sweat droplets appeared on his face while pulling backwards.

Bakugo scoffed before turning towards the door, catching Iida's attention as well.

"It's them." Iida said, staring at Izuku and the Rangers.

The entire class turned their attention to the group, causing Cyrus and Izuku to fluster nervously, Ayumi to wave at them, Kiba to flash a smile, Reina to facepalm and Sora to sign with his eyes closed.

"So much for keeping a low profile." Sora sarcastically thought.

"Great..." Reina mumbles under her breath, not wanting to be the center of attention.

"Uh... Hiii!" Midoriya said, looking nervous with his eyes looking the other way.

Iida walked over to them, unintentionally in an aggressive way. "Good morning! My name is Tenya Iida from the-" The boy didn't get the chance to finish his sentence when Izuku put his hands up.

"Y-Yeah! We heard." Midoriya said, making Iida pause while the boy introduced himself, a slightly worried expression on his face. "I'm Izuku Midoriya... It's super nice to meet you...!" He said as his body was shaking.

"Yo, Kiba Mason." The blonde greeted me with a nod.

"Ugh, Reina Fukukado." She said with a sigh.

"Sora Ukashi." Sora said to the boy.

"Uh, Cyrus Hado." Cyrus spoke, fixing his glasses.

"Ayumi Suzuni!" The pinkette announced with a wink. "Hello classmates! Hope we get along!"

When they said their names, the entire class gasped in shock.

"Wait, aren't those the five names that scored the most points on the entrance exam!" Kaminari said in surprise.

"That's them?!" Sato asked.

"And five of them are in our class! So manly!" Kirishima yelled in excitement.

"OMG! It's you guys!" Mina exclaimed as she hopped from her seat and ran over to the Rangers. "I can't believe you 5 are in the same class as me!"

"Hey, it's you! Glad to see you got accepted into U.A." Kiba greeted as he continued to smile at her.

Mina smiled brightly. "You too! I have to say you guys were super cool out there! Those transformations, fighting those robots, and those giant robots you used to take down the 0-pointer! It was the coolest thing I've ever seen!" The girl was now jumping into the air, smiling and giggling.

"I like her." Ayumi said with a smile of her own.

Jiro looked surprised at seeing the Rangers again. She didn't know they were going to be in the same class, but she wasn't complaining.

Bakugo was shocked to hear those names. He was already pissed to see Izuku there, but now he saw the five extras from before who were responsible for upstanding him. He gritted his teeth in frustration.

"Six students who performed excellently on the exam will be my classmates." Iida whispered in happiness. "Please forgive my rude behavior!" He yelled while bowing to them.

"Eh?" The group said, not expecting that from Iida.

"Well that was unexpected." Kiba commented.

"Ukashi, you were right about everything you said. Back at the auditorium, I belittled Midoriya because I didn't know anything about him and accused him of under false accusation." Iida said feeling guilty for his actions. "The six of you are truly superior to me in every way. So I ask all of you for your forgiveness."

Sora just blinked a few times, not expecting that from him. "Dude, raise your head." He said as the other boy did as he said. "First, we don't think of ourselves superior to you or anyone else in class. Second, there's no need to be serious about something that isn't even a big deal. Third, you need to learn to think before you speak or else it will lead to misunderstanding in the future. And lastly, there's no need for you to apologize for anything. Just learn from your mistakes and become better from it." The brunette said as he reached his hand out to Iida for a handshake.

"Ukashi's, right Iida. You don't have to apologize for anything." Izuku said, holding up his hands.

"Yeah dude, just learn to chill out once in a while. Nobody likes an uptight person." Reina said to the serious student as she leaned an arm on Sora's shoulder.

Iida was a bit stunned by this, but shook Sora's hand in return. "You're right! Thank you all for your forgiveness! I will work on ensuring that I won't make the same mistake again in the future." Iida said to them before releasing his hand. "Midoriya, you all realized there was something more to the practical exam, didn't you? When you stopped the 0-pointer to rescue that trapped girl? You must be very perceptive. And I completely misjudged you." Iida said in a more serious tone, bowing.

A sweat drop appeared on the back of everyone's heads.

'Guy needs to tone it down a bit.' Reina thought.

"Iida doesn't seem like that much of a bad guy." Sora thought, deciding to give him another chance.

"What's he talking about?" Cyrus leaned over to Izuku.

"Uhh, something that happened in the Battle Center." The greenette said, awkwardly.

"Hey, I recognize that messy hair! Falling Boy!" A female voice said. Everyone turned to see the voice of the person.

It was a short girl with a curvy figure, fair skin, and auburn hair with eyes that match in color. She had a perpetual pink blush on her cheeks, and her eyes were large and round with thick upper lashes, two more extended and more prominent ones on either side and fewer but more individually pronounced lower lashes. Her hair was shoulder-length with short bangs, and the style was bobbed with two long strands framing her face. She had small, thick pads on her fingertips similar to the digits of an animal's paws;

This was Ochaco Uraraka.

"Oh my gosh! It's that nice girl who talked to me! She looks good in that uniform..." Izuku thought with a blush, causing him to ignore her talking.

"Present Mic was right! You did pass the Entrance exam!" Ochaco exclaimed cheerfully, smiling at the green-haired boy. "Not that I'm surprised, that punch was amazing!"

At that, Ochaco swung her fist back and forth, clearly amazed by the boy's feat of strength.

'Punch?' The Rangers thought in wonder.

"Oh, hey, hi." Izuku said nervously, turning red. His face dripped with sweat, though he soon blocked it with his hands. "Oh my gosh... So I should probably be thanking you for going in and talking to him."

"Huh? How'd you know about that?" Ochaco questioned.

"Oh uh... I...Um...What?"

"Smooth move, Greenie." Kiba thought with a chuckle.

Meanwhile, Bakugo was glaring angrily at the Rangers and Izuku. A quirkless weakling and a bunch of nobodies who beat him at the entrance exam. He clenched his fist in anger and wanted nothing more than to immediately blow all of those losers to hell for challenging him.

"What do you think we're doing today besides orientation?" The brown hair girl asked, smiling widely as she moved her arms up and down. "I wonder what our teachers are like, I can't wait to meet everybody!" Ochaco said in excitement.

"If you want to know then, why not ask the guy right behind you?" Sora said, pointing to the ground.

Everyone looked to where the Red Ranger was pointing and gasped in bewilderment to see a dark-haired man in a yellow sleeping bag appearing to be dead tired.

'Impressive, I shouldn't have expected any less from the Hero Force Rangers' leader.' But more importantly, if you're just here to make friends, then pack up now." A dark-haired scruffy-looking man in a sleeping bag. "Welcome to U.A.'s hero course," Aizawa said tiredly, unzipping his bag slightly. He pulled out a fruit pouch, finishing it off quickly as he still lay on the ground.

Izuku, Kiba, Mina, Ayumi, and Cyrus, Iida, and Ochaco, looked on in horror. "What is that thing?!" They all thought in unison.

'The hell...?' Reina thought with a raised brow.

"It took 8 seconds before you all shut up, that's not gonna work. Time is precious. Rational students would understand that." Aizawa said, releasing himself from the sleeping bag.

'What's the deal with this guy? Is he our homeroom teacher?' Kiba thought, raising an eyebrow at the man.

'That's right, I forgot he was our teacher," Cyrus remembers the meeting from last month.

'But, why does he look like he hasn't slept in weeks?' Ayumi thought, analyzing the man quietly.

'He doesn't even look ready to brush his teeth, let alone teach.' Sora thought. 'Mom would kill me if I carried myself like this.'

Aizawa glanced to the side, facing the rest of the class. "Hello, I'm Shota Aizawa. Your homeroom teacher." He said to the class.

"He's our teacher?" Everyone thought in shock and surprise, as Bakugo, Todoroki, Yaoyorozu, and Tokoyami share words of bemusement over who their instructor is.

"Right let's get to it." Aizawa said pulling a P.E. uniform from his sleeping bag. "Put these on and head outside." He said leaving the classroom.

With that said, everyone got up from their seat to grab a P.E. uniform. It is a pair of dark blue pants with white vertical lines going up the legs and a dark blue short sleeve shirt with white lines that form the letters 'U' and 'A'. Now that they got a gym uniform the class 1-A student headed to the locker rooms to change.


U.A. High School P.E. Grounds- Morning

The class 1-A students were outside in their gym uniform, waiting for what their homeroom teacher was planning to do. Aizawa then told the class what they were doing, and it surprised everyone, except for Bakugo, Todoroki, Yaoyorozu, and Tokoyami.

"What?! A quirk assessment test?" They all shouted in confusion.

"But orientation... We're gonna miss it...!" Ochaco said, raising her arms to her chest with concern in her voice. Aizawa spoke with his back facing the girl.

"If you really wanna make it to the big leagues, you can't waste time on pointless ceremonies." Aizawa said as everyone stepped backward, surprised at his comment. "Here at U.A, we're not tethered to traditions. That means I get to run my class however I see fit." He continued turning his head to face them. The man turned his body now facing towards the group as well. "You've been taking standardized tests most of your lives." He held up a phone, a sort of measuring app open. "But you never got to use your quirks in physical exams before. The country's trying to pretend we're all equal by not letting those with the most power excel. It's not rational. One day, the Ministry of Education will learn." Aizawa explains to his students.

Aizawa closed his eyes, took a couple of deep breaths, and exhaled. He seems to be preparing himself for something. Then his eyes locked on Sora.

"Ukashi." He said, getting the brunette's attention. "Step forward."

Sora had no idea what Aizawa was doing, but he just shrugged and did what his new teacher told him. He walked up to him and could feel the other students staring at him.

"Ukashi, you gained the most points on the practical exam, placing you in first place. Not only that, but you managed to beat the previous record holder All Might's 220 points score with your 221 score, earning you the most highest score ever in the history of U.A." Aizawa said to the boy.

Sora turned his head to see the other students gasping in shock upon hearing that, except for his friends, Jirou, Bakugo, & Todoroki. They never imagined that their new classmate managed to beat a record held by All Might of all people.

Everyone had their own reaction to this.

Izuku's eyes widened, and his mouth was open with a shocked look on his face. To think he was in the same class as the most impressive hero student of many generations.

Iida was the same as Izuku, though the only difference was that his glasses were having a hard time staying on his face.

Ochaco's eyes were widened like a white dinner plate and were shaking like crazy, trying to process the information she was hearing.

Aoyama was sparkling bright with a smile on his face, thinking Sora was dazzling but not as much as him.

Kirishima's mouth was open with a big smile and whispering something about Sora being so manly.

Mina was slightly hopping in excitement, trying to calm herself at how cool the Rangers were.

Momo had her hand over her mouth, being taken back by what she heard.

Todoroki wasn't that surprised, because he already knew someone managed to beat All Might. His father had thrown quite the fit when he found out someone beat the No.1 Hero's record. But when he looks at Sora, he doesn't see anything special about him. He was just wondering how he managed to get first place on the exam.

Bakugo was just as shocked by this as everyone else was, but it didn't last for long as his shock turned to full pure rage. Not only did the Red Ranger beat him at the entrance exam, but now, he found out that this extra beat All Might's old record. This made Bakugo even more furious than humanly possible. He was glaring intense daggers at Sora, wanting to make him pay for stealing his glory.

Sora could feel all of this and didn't like being the center of attention.

"Because of your and your friends'... condition, expect this to be the toughest assessment you'll go through since not many quirkless kids have gotten this far." Aizawa said, making everyone gasped in surprise yet again, as they looked at the five Rangers.

Soon, the whole class was in an uproar. "WHAT!?"

"You guys are quirkless?!" Toru faced the Rangers in shock.

"Hehe, surprise!" Kiba laughed, rubbing his head.

"No way!" Sato exclaimed.

"That's crazy!" Sero cried out.

"That can't be true, can it?!" Kaminari asked, his mouth gaping like a fish.

"And you guys managed to get the Top 5 spots!" Mina shouted.

The more calmer students took this information quietly but still had their doubts.

Jirou couldn't help but be angry at how the others doubted the Rangers.

Izuku looked at them in pure surprise. 'They're all Quirkless...?' He thought, but felt bad for them because he already knew what they were going through. He was once quirkless until All Might passed his Quirk on to him. Having everyone doubt you for something you couldn't help was a painful feeling.

"There's no way anyone without a Quirk could get into U.A.! And He must have cheated somehow!" Mineta was complaining.

Reina snapped her head down at the short midget. "Run that by me again. I dare ya, Pipsqueak...." she growled, glaring daggers at the boy, who started sweating madly.

"N-n-n-n-no, m-ma'am."

"That's what I thought." The greenette snorted before turning her fierce gaze onto the others. "And that goes for anyone else who's got a problem!"

The class were taken back by the girl's expression and words as they all fell silent in shock.

"Inner peace, Rei." Ayumi stepped in, grabbing the girl's arm.

"She's right. It isn't worth it." Cyrus agreed.

"Find your happy place~" Kiba hummed to her.

"Silence, all of you!" Aizawa yelled, shutting up the entire class. "This might be hard to believe, but it's the truth. Despite not having quirks, Ukashi, Fukukado, Kuzan, Mason, and Suzuni all took the exam like all of you and passed. And if you still have doubts, then U.A. confirmed that they didn't cheat either." Aizawa said, resting his case.

"Mr. Aizawa." Aizawa turned back to Sora. "It's fine. We were kind of expecting something like this to happen anyway." the Red Ranger said with a small smile. "But if words alone isn't enough to convince them, then we'll have to show them with our actions that we earned our place here." The brunette then had a determined grin on his face before looking back at his crew. "Right, guys?"

The Rangers looked back at their friend/leader with shared determined grins.

"Right!" Cyrus, Ayumi, and Kiba echoed in unison.

"Well said, Fearless Leader." Reina smirked.

Aizawa softly grunts at the Ranger's words and stern expression while most of Sora's classmates was surprised at how determined he is and how serious he sounded, with Izuku, Jirou, Iida, & Ochaco being impressed with the brunette said, and Bakugo getting pissed off, taking what Sora said as a challenge.

"A wise choice of words, problem child. Now return back to the others." Aizawa said with Sora doing just that.

When Sora walked back to the group, he noticed them all staring at him. but he chose to ignore it and took his place in the center of his friends.

"Hey, are you guys alright?" Jirou asked in a concerned tone as she walked up to the Rangers.

"It's fine, it's nothing we're not used to." Reina said, brushing it off.

"I see..." Jiro muttered, twirling an earphone jack around her finger. "So, you guys are really Quirkless?"

"Yeah, is that a problem?" Kiba asked, hoping she wasn't one of those people.

"No, no, no. I was just a bit surprised, that's all." Jirou said, waving her hands. "It's just that I never met quirkless people before." She admitted.

"Well, first time for everything." Ayumi joked with a smile.

"Hope you don't think little of us because of it." Cyrus said.

"Not at all, man. I got nothing wrong with quirkless people." Jirou said to the boy.

Jirou feels sympathetic to the team. She knew enough about Quirk-racism and could only assume that not having one was a lot worse. A life without her quirk sounded bad, given how her own school was towards her for her earphone jacks. She could only imagine what it was like for the Rangers.

"I see, I'm glad to hear that." Sora grinned, seeing she was a nice person.

"Bakugo." Aizawa said, getting the blonde boy's attention. "What was your farthest distance throw with a softball when you were in junior high?" Aizawa said, continuing.

Bakugo took a moment to think back to that time. "67 meters." Bakugo answered.

"Right, try doing it with your quirk. Anything goes, just stay in the circle." Aizawa said, handing Bakugo a softball and speaking up again. "Go on. You're wasting our time."

"Really, it's only been about 2 seconds." Cyrus thought about how his teacher was acting.

"Don't hold back." Aizawa warned him.

Bakugo walked up to the circle and began to stretch, with the ball in his right hand. He'd planted his foot into the ground, readying his arm.

'I'll add a little heat to my pitch and blow them right to hell." Bakugo thought. The boy quickly stepped forward, face filled with rage and arrogance. "Just imagine the ball being Deku and those extras!"

He released the ball from his fingertips, complementing the throw with a hefty explosion as he yelled out, "DIE!"

"Die?" Izuku, Cyrus, Kiba and Ayumi thought in confusion.

"Seriously?" Sora just looked blank at this.

"Future Pro hero, ladies and gentlemen." Reina thought with an eye roll.

"All of you need to know your maximum capabilities." Aizawa said, pulling out his phone, showcasing the number that was displayed on it. It was 705.2 meters. "It's the most rational way of figuring out your potential as a pro hero." Aizawa said to his class.

Gasps circled around, and most students looked shocked in some way or another.

"Woah! Seven hundred meters? Are you kidding me?" Kaminari said with a nervous look on his face.

"I wanna go! That looks like fun!" Mina said, clapping her hands together, grinning.

"This is what I'm talkin' about." Sero exclaimed. "Using our quirks as much as we want!"

Aizawa glanced down annoyedly. "So this looks fun, huh?"

Sora noticed the change in Aizawa's tone. "Oh boy, not good." He thought.

"You have 3 years here to become a hero. Do you think it's all gonna be games and playtime?" Aizawa said with a grin, though it was a wicked one. "Idiots. Today, you'll compete in 8 physical tests to gauge your potential. Whoever comes in last has none. And will be expelled immediately." He said, shocking everyone.

"Huh?!" The class shouted in unison.

"Like I said, I get to decide how this class runs." Aizawa creepily grinned with white pupils, pulling his hair upwards to reveal his crazed expression. "Understand?"

At that point, each student had a worried expression clearly shown.

"If that is a problem, then you can head home right now." Aizawa said in a non caring tone.

"You can't send one of us home!" Ochaco argued with her eyebrows pointed downwards. "I mean, we just got here! Even if it wasn't the first day, that isn't fair!" She stated.

Aizawa was about to say something, but Sora beat him to the punch.

"Fair? Sorry, but there's no such thing as fair in the world." Sora said to her, getting everyone's attention.

Aizawa raised an eyebrow, seeing where his student was going with this.

"Huh?" Ochaco said in confusion.

"Let me ask you something. Is it fair for natural disasters to happen? Is it fair for people who get incurable diseases? Is it fair for villains to mess up a person's life? And is it fair for people who are born with quirks and those who weren't?" Sora said. "Where was the fairness in all of that?"

Ochaco was now completely stunned by the speech Sora made. She wanted to say something but couldn't find the right words to counteract him. So she just stayed quiet with her head hanging down.

"I hate to be the one to say this, but life isn't fair. And if you want to be a hero, you either ought to step up or just stay out of the way." Sora told all of them. Because he and the Rangers understood more than anyone just how cruel life is, and it doesn't play fair for nobody.

All the other students were stunned by his speech, except for Bakugo, who was only glaring at Sora. Despite not having a quirk, they were able to see how serious he was when he said that to them.

The only exception out of the students so far was Izuku, who already knew that being a hero isn't all fun and games. Mina, who saw the Rangers as cool people, Todoroki, Tokoyami, and Yaoyorozu, who were mildly surprised because of Sora's way of thinking, and of course Iida, who became even more amazed.

Aizawa couldn't help but be impressed by the way his student spoke to the others. He did not expect such a thing to come from a student.

"From out of everyone here, it took one of the quirkless ones to get it." Aizawa said with a tiny smile while drawing everyone's attention to him. "What Ukashi said is correct. The world isn't fair, and if you aren't prepared to face that, then you don't belong here." Aizawa said in a serious tone. "Natural disasters, Manmade disease, Power hungry villains, & Catastrophic accidents that wipe out whole cities." He keeps speaking. "The world is full of unfairness. It's a hero's job to try and combat that unfairness. If you wanna be a pro, you're gonna have to push yourself to the brink. For the next 3 years, U.A. will throw one terrible hardship after the other at you. So go beyond. Plus Ultra style." Aizawa tilted his head, smiling as he gestured with his finger. "Show me it's no mistake that you're here."

Aizawa let his words sink into his students' minds.

Iida pulled a water bottle from his pocket, sipping it as he thought. "I don't approve of this kind of hazing, but U.A.'s the top hero program. I have no choice."

"Time to blow these nerds away." Bakugo thought, smirking and stretching.

Jirou cracked her neck, getting ready for the test.

Ochaco and Izuku both clench their fists, masking their fear with determination.

The rest of the class started to get their game faces on for the brutal test their teacher planned for them.

"Now then, we're just wasting time by talking." Aizawa said with an evil grin. "Let the games begin."

To Be Continued...

The first test that the class takes is the 50-meter dash. A robot of some sort stood at the finish line, ready to measure the times of each student.

The first to go was Tenya Iida and Tsuyu Asui.

Both students bend down to the ground, ready to run.

"Runners, on your marks!" The robot exclaimed, revealing the racers to be Iida and the frog girl. "Ready..."

As soon as a 'pop' noise sounded, the two bolted from their positions, with Iida in the lead. He quickly made it to the finish line. "3.04 seconds!" Followed closely by Tsuyu, who was leaping across the track. "5.58 seconds!"

"Well, he's definitely in his element." Aizawa mentioned to himself. "But speed won't help him in every test."

"Ayumi Suzuni, Ochaco Uraraka and Mashirao Ojiro, you three are next!" Aizawa said to them.

"Right!" Ayumi then looked back at her friends. "Wish me luck."

"Knock em' dead, Ayu." Sora said with a grin.

"Rooting for ya, Pinky." Kiba teased.

"You got this!" Cyrus smiled, giving her a thumbs up.

"Really, girl? 'Luck'?" Reina snorted.

"Never know." Ayumi shrugged before heading over to the starting line.

Ochaco and the blonde hair boy with the tail named Mashirao Ojiro walked up to the starting line as well.

"I'll lighten up my clothes to slightly decrease my weight. And my shoes too." Ochaco said tapped her fingers and then against her clothes before turning to touching her shoes, emitting a light pink aura from her hands.

"Hey, good luck you." Ayumi told as the girl took their stances at the start line.

"Yeah, you too." she replied with a smile afterward.

"Runners, on your marks!" The robot said, as they both get ready. Then the robot fired the sign to go, as Ochaco and Ojiro started to run. Uraraka closed her eyes as she pumped her limbs with everything she had. Sadly, her quirk did not give her much of an advantage when it came to speed.

Meanwhile, Ojiro managed to use his tail to jump forward, giving him a lead until...

ZOOM

Ayumi darted down the track like a bullet, crossing the finish line in the blink of an eye and skidding to a screeching halt.

"3.00 seconds!" the mechanical voice of the nearby timing machine beeped.

Soon after, Ojiro came jumping past the finish line. "5.49 seconds!"

While Ochaco arrived from behind. "7.15 seconds!" The young girl breathed heavily and seemed pleased with the results while she brought her fingers together to end the effects of her quirk with a smile. "Well, at least that's faster than junior high!"

"That was awesome, Ayu! You beat that machine in record timing," Sora grinned, arm placed behind his head.

The orangette looked bashful at the praise and scratched her cheek. "Hehe."

The class looked at Ayumi in disbelief as she spoke to her friends, with Reina giving her a high-five.

"That girl... there's no freaking way," the brown-haired, muscular boy known as Rikido Sato broke the stunned silence. "How did she do that? She...she can teleport?"

"No, I don't think so. Ribbit, I doubt the device would have measured her speed if she had transmitted herself to the finish line, since she wouldn't have run the track," Tsuyu Asui placed a finger on her chin. "She's just incredibly fast, ribbit."

"Next, Kiba Mason, Yuga Aoyama, and Mina Ashido." Aizawa said.

Said blonde, Mina and the French boy named Aoyama walked up to the starting line.

"Hey, I like your hair." Mina said to the Yellow Ranger.

"Thanks, I like your pink complexion." Kiba complimented back.

Aoyama smiled and turned around as the duo looked up at him from the side. "Nice attempts, mon amie. But you're just not showing enough pinash." Aoyama said, putting his arms around his head, squatting as the robot started the race. He quickly jumped into the air, rocketing himself backward with his quirk. "Let your powers shine!" Although Aoyama was originally going fast, he began to lose speed, eventually falling to the ground.

Meanwhile, Mina was skating on the track, thanks to her acid. She was forming acid under her feet, increasing her speed, and decreasing the force of friction from running.

It wasn't long before Kiba yelled. "Gotta go fast!" as he zipped by Mina and Aoyama before they could blink, and he had crossed the finish line.

"2.34 seconds." The robot said.

Mina smiled with glee as she passed the finished line. "4.71 seconds!"

Though impressive, Mina still couldn't help but have her jaw dropped. "That... Was... Amazing!" She exclaimed, "How did you do that!?"

Kiba smiled as he replied, returning to the crowd, "It's all in the leg work."

Meanwhile, Aoyama forced himself back up and fired another short burst of energy to close the last little distance that remained. "5.51 seconds!" A dirtied Aoyama turned around with his hands on his hips, still confident and sparkling. "Shooting my beautiful beam for more than a second hurts my tummy." He said to the others.

'What a tool.' Thought most of the students.

"Fukukado and Kaminari, you're next." Aizawa said as Kaminari soon allowed a wide grin to come across his face.

"Aww yeah! I got this one in the bag!" Kaminari exclaimed while running up to the starting line.

Reina just simply walked over to the starting line and gave him a smile like everything was going to be fine.

"Oh, this guy is so screwed." The Rangers thought at the same time, knowing how fast their friend was.

"Runners on your marks! Ready..." The robot said with Reina and Kaminari raising their bodies, prepared to run.

Kaminari never lost his confident grin and was thinking this was going to be a piece of cake.

But Reina was going to give him a run for his money.

"Go!" The robot gave the signal.

When that happened, Kaminari ran with everything he had to reach the finish line first. He thought he was going to win until Reina instantly outran him, which surprised the electric boy.

"2.05 seconds!" The robot said before Kaminari came in next. "6.87 seconds!"

Everyone was surprised by the greenette's speed, except the Rangers.

"Holy cow, she's fast!" Sato said in surprise.

"A truly impressive speed." Tokoyami nods in respect.

"She even beat Iida's score." Shoji said in response.

Kaminari was mentally shocked by his loss. "B-B-But how d-did I l-l-lose..." He asked her.

"Because you're a loser." Reina said, sticking her tongue at the boy, teasing him.

Kaminari then hung his head down in defeat with tears falling from his eyes

"Poor guy never stood a chance." Sora thought.

"Cyrus Hado and Momo Yaoyorozu, your next." Aizawa said to them.

As he said that, Cyrus and a tall black-haired girl with a spiky ponytail walked next to one another.

"She's pretty tall compared to most of the girls here." the Blue Ranger thought, looking at her from the corner of his eyes, as he and Momo took their places.

Brushing off the thought, Cyrus got in a starting position. He waited for Momo to do the same. But upon shifting his eyes to her, they slightly widened to see a red electric scooter being produced from her arm.

"Did she just make a scooter come out of her arm?" Cyrus thought in surprise, never seeing a quirk like that before. 'Amazing!'

Momo noticed Cyrus's bewildered stare on her and gave a sympathetic look.

"My apologies, Hado." She said while turning on the scooter, placing her right foot on it, and holding on to the handles. "I'm only doing what I must to succeed."

"O-Oh, no worries. I was just surprised at what your quirk is able to do." Cyrus waved the rich girl off. "It doesn't really matter to me how you use your power."

Momo was taken aback by his response. She really expected him to call her a cheater for making a electric scooter that will make her faster, much like most students did in junior high for certain quirk assessments, even when she was recommended in U.A., but much to her surprise, Cyrus didn't see it that way. In fact, it's almost like he didn't care. He saw it as her just simply using her quirk, and he's perfectly fine with that.

She was about to ask if he really wasn't that ticked over her advantage via her Creation quirk, but Cyrus was faced forward again to prepare for the 50-meter race. This made Momo do the same, but in a different stance since she was now riding an electric scooter.

"Runners, on your marks!" The robot exclaimed, making Cyrus and Momo more focused than before. "Ready..."

Then the starting sigh went off, with both students taking off.

Momo pulled her hand back on the lever and burst off in a fast speed due to the electric device. Both her feet on the scooter and driving through the field at incredible speed. She was convinced that she would reach the finish line first.

But boy, was she wrong.

Meanwhile, like the others, Cyrus shot himself to the finish line. "2.85 seconds!"

Momo was able to finish her run as well. "2.99 seconds!"

"So fast!" Ochaco said in surprise.

"Fast indeed, ribbit." Tsuyu agreed.

Cyrus nodded at his score. That was a reasonable number, considering he hasn't broken a sweat yet. He was about to head back to the other students until he noticed Momo approaching him with an expression of acknowledgment.

"You were fast, Hado. I have to confess, I've underestimated you before we started the race." Momo said to him.

Cyrus just gave her a small smile. "It's fine, I'm used to it with me being quirkless and all." He said.

This made Momo feel pretty guilty. She has nothing against quirkless people but still felt horrible for how little she thought of the bluenette.

"Hado, I-" Momo was about to apologize until Cyrus placed his hand in front of her, stopping the girl from speaking any further.

"Really, Yaoyorozu. It's fine." Cyrus said, putting his hand down. "Like I said, it's nothing new. My friends and I are used to it. So there is no reason for you to apologize, okay."

"Right." Momo sadly said with her head hanging slightly down.

"But I gotta say, your quirk was pretty impressive. Using an electric scooter to increase your speed from running was quite clever approach. With a Quirk like yours, you would make an excellent hero someday." Cyrus said with a heart warning smile.

Momo is once again surprised by the bluenette's words. She thought he was angry at her, but that wasn't the case. She never expected him to be so encouraging to her on the use of her quirk, especially since she knows that Cyrus & the other Rangers don't have any.

Cyrus was really kind-hearted through Momo's eyes.

"T-Thank you for the compliment, Hado." Momo said with a bow.

"Just call me Cyrus...or Cy. I prefer being called by my first name anyways." Cyrus said to her before walking away.

Momo remained silent as she watched the bluenette return towards the rest of the group of students and mostly spoke with his group of friends.

"Next up: Toru Hagakure and Sora Ukashi." Aizawa announced.

As he made his way to the starting line, he could feel the stares of most of the class falling on him.

"Um, hey. Ukashi, right? Good luck with the dash." Toru said as she readied herself.

"Oh, um, thanks. Good luck to you, too." The brunette replied.

The other members of Class 1-A were inventively watching the matchup. Having seen a sample of the other Ranger's speed, even the likes of Bakugo were deeply curious as to what score he would achieve.

"Runners, on your marks. Ready..." The robotic measuring device spoke before firing the starter pistol.

Before anyone could even blink, Sora had vanished from the starter line, seemingly disappearing into thin air. As both Aizawa and the students looked around to see where he had gone, the robotic measuring device announced:

"1.01 seconds."

Everyone slowly turned their heads to find Sora standing by the finishing line, his back towards them as he watched Hagakure sprint down the lane. They looked at their classmate in disbelief.

"Holy crap!" Krishima said in surprise.

"This guy is a beast." Sero said, commenting.

"I didn't even see him move! How'd he do that?!" Kaminari said with a stunned look on his face.

"I thought he didn't have a quirk?!" Mineta said in fear.

"He doesn't." Reina said, getting everyone's attitude. "That was just pure speed." She said, making everyone's jaws drop. "Same goes for all of us."

"What?!" Most everyone in class cried out.

"Whoa!" Ojiro looks at the Rangers in astonishment. "You guys were able to beat all of our times!"

"Yeah!" Mina shouts in both surprise and excitement with her eyes glued onto Kiba while grinning. "Even my time!"

"Mine as well!" Aoyama said, smiling.

"Mine too, ribbit." Tsuyu states with a neutral expression.

"Your speed even out classes my own. I need to work hard if I ever want to keep up!" Iida declared.

Jirou and Izuku smiled at the group's success and were glad that everyone was starting to see him in a new light.

Bakugo was getting even more angry at the Ranges for beating him again.

Todoroki eyes narrowed at that level of speed and started to have doubts if they were quirkless.

Sora heard what the others said, but chose to ignore it because he didn't care what others thought of him.

"9.20 seconds." The robotic device announced as the invisible girl crossed the finish line. Hagakure bent her upper body down and appeared to have placed her hands on her kneecaps, panting with exhaustion.

"You're super cool." The girl said to Sora in between breaths.

He grinned in response. "Thanks. I had to work hard to even achieve that."

"That was still amazing, I can't wait to see what else you can do." Toru said, getting up closer to him.

"O-O-Of course." Sora said with a blush on his face, surprised by the girl's closeness.

Little did he know, Ayumi saw this and had an irritated look on her face from how close Toru was to him.

Little did he know, Ayumi saw this and had an irritated look on her face from how close Toru was to him

"Lucky bastard." Mineta said in jealousy, glaring in envy at Sora.

"Alright, Shoto Todoroki and Koji Koda, your next." Aizawa said, moving on to the next students.


Test 2: Grip strength

The next test is grip strength. All the students are inside of a building for this part of the test. Everyone had a grip machine in their hands, testing their strength. And like the last test, the students are allowed to use their quirks.

"Wow!" Sero shouted, looking at Shoji in awe. "You hit 540 kilograms?! You're such a beast!" He said impressed by his score.

"Yeah, like a muscly octopus!" Mineta said in agreement.

The Rangers looked around to see the other students' scores, but the one that stood out the most was Shoji.

"Looks like everyone's really getting into this." Ayumi said.

"Guess it's our turn then." Kiba said, holding the device in his hand.

"Yeah." Cyrus looked at his device.

"On 3?" Reina said, holding up her device.

"On 3." Sora nodded, doing the same. "1...2...3!"

On the fated number, the five Rangers used their enhanced strength in unison. When they squeezed the machines, they immediately broke into pieces, shocking the students there, especially Shoji and Bakugo.

"Uh... whoops," Ayumi blinked sheepishly.

"Aw, damn. That happened." Sora said, looking at the broken devices.

"I think the machine broke before I could finish squeezing." Reina said, rubbing her head.

"And I wasn't putting that much strength in my grip too!" Kiba said in surprise.

"Same." Cyrus nervously laughed to himself. "So, do we get points for this?"

"Just how strong are they?!" All the students thought at the same time, with the exception of Kirishima, Bakugo, and Todoroki.

Izuku, who had only scored 56.0 kilograms, stared at the Rangers incredulously.

Aizawa's eye twitch in annoyance. "How can I gaze their power if they keep breaking everything."

"Excuse me, Mr. Aizawa. We broke our machines." Cyrus said to him. "Does that mean we have to do it again?"

Aizawa just shakes his head. "There won't be any need for that. I was expecting something like this would happen, so all just say your scores are infinite." He said to them.

"Wow, I didn't think anyone would be stronger than me." Shoji said, being impressed by the Rangers strength. "My name is Mezo Shoji."

"Sora Ukashi." Sora introduced himself.

"Yo, names Kiba Mason."

"Cyrus Hado."

"Reina Fukukado."

"Ayumi Suzuni."

"They're monsters!" Mineta shouted in fear until he was hit in the head by a long tongue.

"Don't be rude." Tsuyu said to the little pervert.

"Dude, for someone who doesn't have a quirk that was freakin manly!" Kirishima running up to the Rangers. "I'm Eijiro Kirishima!" He had his hand out for a hand shake.

"Nice to meet you." Sora said, shaking his hand.

"Sure, bro." Kirishima said with a smile. "I have to ask, how are you guys so strong without a quirk?" He asked.

"Simple, we trained." Reina said, making the red-haired boy laugh.

"That's awesome! Say, you don't mean if I train with you all sometime?" Kirishima asked. "If I do, I might get as strong as you."

"That sounds like a great idea, Kirishima. Just name the time." Sora agreed.

"Thanks, Sora! Here's to a manly friendship!" Kirishima happily said.

"Manly?" Reina and Ayumi blinked, not sure how to respond to that.

"Enough talk. We're heading to the next test." Aizawa ordered the class.


Test 3: Standing Long Jump

The third test is standing long jump. All the students are back outside standing in line, taking turns on who jumps over the sandpit to see how far they can go.

Most of the students who didn't have a very powerful quirk had to do it the old-fashioned way.

As for everyone else Bakugo used his explosions to easily clear the sandpit, Aoyama using his laser to shot himself over the sandpit, Urakara use her Zero Gravity to lessen her body weight to float over the sandpit, & Tsuyu using her frog legs to leap over the sandpit.

Izuku, however, failed to clear the sandbox. To everyone's confusion, the green-haired teenager was still not using his Quirk.

Everyone else besides the Rangers had already gone.

Now it was their turn.

"What do you know? It really is a 'Leap of Faith'. " Kiba joked, looking over the obstacle.

"Only, it doesn't involve jumping over high grounds." Sora added.

"Guess it's time to show them what it means to 'Woman up'." Reina said, stretching her arms.

"Right!" Ayumi agreed, hopping from one place to another.

"You got this." Cyrus giving a thumbs up.

The two female Rangers nodded and approached the sandpit and got into running stances. Then they both took off at an incredible speed and somersaulted over the entire sandpit before slowly leviating back on the ground, a bit away from the class.

This surprised everyone, especially Bakugo, yet again.

"Interesting." Aizawa thought remembering what the Power Rangers were capable of.

"Looks like our turn next," Cyrus told Kiba.

"Yup." The blonde simply said before looking back at Sora. "See ya on the other side, bro. Literally."

Sora rolled his eyes at the joke as the two Rangers walked up to the sandpit. Within seconds, they started to run before jumping across the sandpit, clearing it with their bodies slowly landing back on the ground near the girls.

"Did they just land back on the ground slowly just like Fukukado and Suzuni" Sero asked.

"Yeah, I noticed that too." Shoji said. "They've all been able to do the same things as well."

"But they're quirkless though." Toru said to him.

"I don't honestly believe that." Everyone turned their attention to Todoroki, who finally spoke. "They can all move so fast that we can't even see them and easily break apart a grip machine. There's no way someone without a Quirkless could do that."

"But Fukukado told me they trained themself to be as strong as they are." Kirishima jumped in the conversation. "And none of them strike me as the type of people who would lie."

"I agree. They seem nice enough not to deceive us." Momo said, believing in them, especially Cyrus.

As they were talking with each other, it was Sora's turn. As soon as he approached the sandpit, some of the students whispered about how he would pull this off. Some believe that he'll land in the sandpit, but at the farthest point that's very close to the end, and some believe that he will make it across by very thin hair.

After having their predictions set, the students and Aizawa watch Sora prepare himself by lowering his body and placing both of his hands on the ground with his feet in a running stance.

Then, when he was ready, the Red Ranger sprinted to the sandpit, kicking up dust behind him as he was running. When he was close enough to the edge, he jumped across not only the sandpit but the entire field at an incredible height and distance much longer and bigger than the other students.

He landed back on the ground with him slowly going down like a feather.

"Um, maybe that was a bit much?" Sora said as he noticed he was a good distance away from everyone else.

"Woo! Go, Sora!" Ayumi cheered.

"What happened to no showing off?" Reina spoke, folding her arms.

"Everybody's got a competitive side to them." Kiba shrugged with a smile.

"And I think that made an impression." Cyrus said, gesturing to behind them. "Look."

The Rangers turned around and saw an amusing sight.

Almost all of class except, Jirou, had gobsmacked expression on their faces from what they just witnessed.

Izuku, in particular, seemed to be ogling them, his eyes goggled, and his tongue hung out.

Bakugo was half shocked and half angry from the display of power.

Todoroki just narrowed his eyes as his curiosity continued to grow stronger on the so-called quirkless teens.

Kirishima become even more impressed by the manly jump.

Mina was ecstatic from another one of the Rangers' performance and was looking forward to seeing what else they could do.

Tsuyu's neutral look turned to pure shock from the height and distance. Not even she can jump that high.

Momo, like the others, had a surprise look by Sora's display of power. She knew he was fast and strong but did not expect him to leap that high in the air. This just piqued her curiosity of him even more.

Mineta was about to wet himself from the surprises the Rangers kept throwing out.

Even Aizawa was surprised by his jump. He was not expecting him to go that far or high.

"What the hell just happened?!" Mostly, all the class cried.

"That was insane!" Kaminari said with widened eyes.

"Okay, there's no way these guys don't have a quirk after seeing all of this!" Mineta cried.

"Did you see how far he jumped?! It was so manly!" Kirishima said, clenching his fist while a tiny tear came out of his eye.

"Not even I can jump that high, ribbit." Tsuyu said in surprise.

"What a spectaculaire jump!" Aoyama said.

"That was so cool!" Mina said while hopping in excitement.

"Incredible." Momo & Koda both whisper in awe.

"Amazing! Truly amazing, Ukashi!" Iida praised his classmate.

"Yeah, is there anything they can't do?!" Ochaco asked in happiness.

Jiro was mainly surprised by their feats and wondered what other tricks they had.

The Rangers smiled at themselves before Reina called out to the brunette. "Hey, Sor! Might wanna get over here! You fans are waiting!"

Sora snickered at that. "Yeah, yeah." He said before ran back to the others in a red speed blur.

Most of the students jumped back in surprise from the unexpected arrival of their classmate.

"Sup." Was all he said before everyone surrounded the Rangers, asking him all sorts of questions.

"That was the coolest thing ever!" Mina exclaimed. "You guys are so awesome!"

"That jump of yours was pretty impressive, Ukashi." Shoji said to him.

"Yeah, dude, and the way you ran back in an instant was sick, man." Sero added to Kiba

"That was impressive jump you two pulled off, ribbit." Tsuyu complimented Ayumi and Reina.

"Thanks." The greenette said, scratching her cheek. "Same to you, uhh...?"

"Tsuyu Asui, but I prefer it if you just call me Tsu." Tsuyu said to the girl.

"In that case, it's nice to me you, Tsu." Ayumi said with a cute head tilt.

"Ribbit."

"Your feats are truly inspiring." Tokoyami complimented them.

"How can you jump that high to begin with?" Toru asked Sora in curiosity.

"Yeah, that's right! What the hell is up with all those crazy quirks?!" Mineta shouted while pointing at Sora, Kiba and Cyrus. "Jumping super high, breaking machines with your bare hands, and letting youselves move super fast! You're showing off your quirks to any woman you mean to make yourself look cool, you BASTARDS!"

"....What?" Cyrus asked with a sweatdrop.

"Jealous much?" Kiba blinked, arching an eyebrow.

Reina just dangerously narrowed her eyes at the purple midget which made Mineta back off in fear for his life.

"First off, we're not trying to show off anything. And second, I already told you that we're Quirkless." Sora said to them.

"I CALL BULLSHIT!" Bakugo shouted angrily while stomping over to them. "THERE'S NOT WAY IN HELL YOU ALL CAN BE QUIRKLESS WITH ALL OF THAT SHIT YOU WERE PULLING OFF! SO QUIT LYING!"

"None of us have a reason to lie about being quirkless, and besides, it really doesn't matter to me whether or not you believe us." Sora said with his arms crossed, not letting the Bakugo get to him. "We're not here to impress you."

"WHY YOU FUCKING EX-" But until Bakugo was cut off by Aizawa.

"Enough! Your wasting time. Where heading to the next test." Aizawa said ending the conversation.

Sora walked away from Bakugo, who was just staring at him in rage and went back to his teammates.

Everyone else was just wondering if he was telling the truth about being quirkless or not. Some believed he was telling the truth while others thought he was lying. But they all chose to forget it for now and focused back on the tests.


Test 4: Repeated Side Steps

The forth test was the repeated side step. Everyone was stepping back and forth from side to side.

Some of them did pretty good, but the one that stood out the most was Mineta who conquered the side steps, by placing his balls on either side of him before bouncing off of them.

But the Rangers managed to keep up with him with their enhanced Ranger abilities.


Test 5: Ball Throw

The fifth test was the ball throw. Since Bakugo already throw it he didn't need to go again. One by one the his classmates were throwing the ball with the best of their abilities. Mostly all of their where average, but a few of them where able to make it into the hundreds.

Momo created a giant cannon to send the ball flying into the sky, earning her a score of 815.67 meters.

Koda called a bird and had it take the ball away as it flying into the distance, carrying the ball. This got him a score of 528.21 meters.

Tokoyami summon some kind of dark bird from his body and had it throw the ball, earning him a score of 183.79 meters.

The next one to step up to the circle was Uraraka.

She grasped the ball within her hands, glancing up with a smile. After pulling her arm back, she lunged it back forwards, releasing the ball from her fingertips. The ball spun into the distance, with the show time-skipping until the ball twinkled as if it were a star.

Aizawa tiredly lifted the phone with the results on it, an infinity symbol displayed on the screen.

The class dropped their jaws. "INFINITY?!"

"That's insane!" Kaminari awed wide-eyed. "How's that possible?!"

"That make sense," Cyrus said out loud. "With her quirk able to make some objects weight pretty much nothing, it's only natural for the ball to fly like that."

"Ukashi, next." Aizawa said with Sora walking to the circle.

"Knock 'em dead." Kiba hold up his fist.

"You got it." Sora said while bumping fist with the blonde.

The ones who look forward to this the most was Mina & Momo who wanted to know what else Sora can do. And Todoroki who was studying the quirkless boy's abilities.

The Red Ranger grabs the soft ball and reeled back his right arm.

"HIIIIIYYYYAAA!" He then threw the ball with an incredible amount of force that creates a loud boom noise and wind pressure that was 10 times stronger than Bakugo's throw, launching the ball into the sky that surprised everyone their except the Rangers.

Aizawa phone beeped in his hands. He then looked at it as his eyes widened in surprise and showed it to his class so they can see the score.

It was 1609.67 meters.

This number shocked the rest of the class mins the Rangers and Todoroki. It wasn't as big as Urakara's infinite score but the power from the throw left an impression on them.

"All right, way to go!" Ayumi and Mina cheered for him.

"That's my 'Ride or Die'!" Kiba whooped.

"So strong, so powerful!" Ochaco said out loud.

"What a show off." Reina said with a grin.

"Did you see that throw? It was so cool." Sero said in excitement.

"I know right, he just keep getting even more manner." Kirishima said with a smile.

Sora was opened and closed his hands few times before looking at his classmates. He heard them giving him praise for his score which made him feel a little weird. No ones ever praised him for anything before. He just shook off the feeling and headed back to his classmates.

Aizawa then looked at the class. "Next up..."

Reina earning her a score of 1608.87 meters.

Kiba earned a score of 1608.66 meters

Cyrus had a score of 1607.53 meters.

Ayumi's obtained a score of 1607.93 meters.

"These kids are unbelievable." Aizawa thought in amaze from the Hero Force Rangers performance.

"Holy..." Kaminari and Mineta shivering in fear from the Rangers' monstrous strength, especially the girls.

"They defeated Yaoyorozu score... with just their strength?" Kirishima said in awe. "So manly!"

"Um, Kirishima. You know Suzuni and Fukukado are girls, right?" Mina corrected him.

"I know, but still you have to admit that throw of hers was impressive!" Kirishima said back.

"Fair point." Mina agreed.

"They sure know how to keep surprising us, ribbit." Tsuyu said with a finger on her cheek.

"Yes, it makes you wonder what else they can do." Tokoyami nodded to the frog girl.

Suddenly, the girl perked up. "Oh! That boy is up next!"

Any mulling thoughts were pushed aside as the Rangers saw Izuku slowly and nervously making his way to the front of the throwing line, his entire body shaking and his expression seemingly darkened with pure nerves. He definitely looked more than ready to take a page from Uraraka's book and puke.

This entire time, Sora had been waiting to see Izuku break out his power and take the lead on any of the last four events. He had heard a lot of hype about it from both Kirishima and Ashido and looked forward to seeing how powerful the guy could be.

But, so far, the green haired boy had remained quiet on that front, keeping to his own physical power and the scores resulting from that, which weren't very good. If he was holding back, it was odd to Sora that he wouldn't have used it by now. He had to have something, right?

It became clear he wasn't the only one who shared this opinion, as Iida, a few people off to his side, spoke up. "Midoryia isn't doing very well. It's certainly a change from the end of the Entrance Exam."

"His Quirk was super strength, right?" Cyrus asked from Sora's other side. "It's weird that he hasn't used it at all yet. There were a few tests that would have been handy."

"Kero. Maybe his Quirk has a different aspect to it." Tsu offered. "Are we sure it's solely strength?"

"Well, maybe," Uraraka quietly relented. But her brown eyes sparked in determination. "But the way he knocked down that zero pointer and saved me... I know he's strong."

"Wait, a 0-pointer? You mean that giant robot from the Entrance exam?" Kiba questioned with a gaped expression. "THAT 0-Pointer!?"

"Correct." Iida nodded.

"If that's the case," Reina said, looking back at the boy as he prepared to throw. "Then, he must've gotten into U.A for a reason, after all. I'm just wondering why he's not willing to let it out."

At the end of the line, they heard Bakugo chuckle darkly.

"You extras," He sneered. "Trying to guess Deku's Quirk when that Quirkless hero loser wannabe doesn't have one! It's a mistake he's even at UA! And I'm glad to hear they'll kick out that pathetic little runt soon enough!"

Sora felt his hand clutch into a fist. 'I swear, this guy is just asking to be hit.'

With that, they all watched as Izuku Midoryia clenched his fingers around the ball and his expression changed into one of nervous determination.

With a breath, the green haired boy swung his arm back in a long throw stance, like he was prepared to chuck the thing halfway across the entirety of Japan.

Izuku swung forward with all of his might and energy, and sent the item soaring... for all of a few feet before it plopped dead to the ground.

"46 meters."

Sora heard a bark of laughter from Bakugo, but he didn't pay it much attention. Rather, he was trying to figure out what just happened with that flash and seemingly no result.

And he wasn't the only one trying to figure that out.

Izuku was in complete shock, his eyes wide and his once determined look replaced with utter horror. From the looks of it, he had expected something to happen just as much as the rest of the class. But, in the end, it seemed like whatever power he had had been halted completely.

"Huh...?" Izuku half moaned, half stuttered, his horrified realization evident within every word. "But... I was trying to use it... how...?"

"I erased it."

The entire class turned in shock as their home room teacher advanced on Izuku, his voice now deadly calm. The rags that once hung loosely across his body were now floating around him, matching his long hair as it stood up like he was in the middle of a windstorm.

His once tired eyes were open, which was hyper focused on the form of the greenette. And his laxidasical expression was now replaced with a steel frown as he spoke to the green haired boy.

"That ridiculous Entrance Exam..." He growled in contempt as he closed in. "Completely irrational when you consider someone like you got in."

"Erased?!" The green haired boy echoed in shock. Then his eyes widened in realization. "Those goggles... of course! You're the Erasure Hero, Eraserhead!"

Immediately, there was a murmur among the class. Some were in surprise, others were in confusion.

"Erasure Hero?" Ayumi asked quietly. "Eraser of what?"

"I think I've heard his name before!" Sero piped up. "He's an angler-type hero with the ability to temporarily stop Quirks! He's been known to take down some of the worst with just his bare fists!"

The Rangers looked back to their teacher, who's glare had never left the shocked Midoryia.

"Able to erase Quirks?!" Cyrus cried, intrigued. "Even if it is temporary, he can just shut down someone's powers?""

Aizawa seemingly ignored the chatter of the class, keeping his attention solely on his target. "I saw it. How you can't control your Quirk. You'd just be incapacitated again." His frown deepened. "Were you hoping someone would step in to help afterwards? Assist the hero in need?"

"N-No!" Izuku stuttered, his nervousness skyrocketing under the gaze of his teacher. "It's not like that! I... GAH!"

He didn't even get to explain himself further before the scarf lunged forward and wrapped around him with a tight crack.

"Whatever you were planning," Aizawa seethed as Izuku was pulled slightly closer. "It would have inconvenienced those around you. Way back when, a certain hot blooded hero saved over a thousand people during a disaster. He made himself a legend. You've got the same restless streak, but you are totally useless after saving just a single person."

'Useless?' Sora looked back to the scared Midoriya. 'He... only gets one use out of his Quirk?'

As everyone watched and as Izuku's resolve seemingly crumbled at their teacher's words, Aizawa delivered what he said next with conviction and absolute certainty.

"Midoryia Izuku, you cannot become a hero with that power of yours."

And just like that, a palpable atmosphere settled across the area as all of the students looked on, unsure of what to do or say.

Finally, after a moment of silence, Aizawa sighed at the same moment he lowered his gaze. His hair settled back to its usual ruffled look as he pulled his scarf and loosened the bonds around Izuku, who looked to be on the bounds of both utter humiliation and hopelessness.

"You've got your Quirk back," The teacher muttered as he walked back to his spot. "Give it another go. Let's get this over with."

After a moment, Izuku slinked back to his original spot, expression dark and stooped in thought.

"... Even for a lesson, that was really harsh," Ayumi spoke, breaking the awkward silence that they had all been in.

"It really was," Mina agreed. "I hope Midoryia's okay after all that."

Sora's mind went back to the entire conversation that had played out in front of them. He turned to Ochaco, who was in the middle of making awkward conversation with Aoyama.

"Uraraka, does Midoriya really only get one shot with his Quirk?"

"Well... I don't know for sure, but he got really hurt after he punched the robot. He broke his arm and both legs right after he did it." She pursed his lips. "His Quirk definitely hurts him." She clenched her fists. "But that doesn't mean he can't still be strong!"

Kiba winced. "Whoa, really?!" He gave the boy a look of concern. "If his Quirk hurts him that much, he shouldn't use it!"

"...He doesn't look like he would agree with that." Mina mentioned, pointing forward.

Sure enough, and to the Rangers's surprise, there was a spark of intense determination replacing the once present frustration in Izuku's eyes. And they watched as the green haired boy stood straight and seemingly clutched the ball with nervous conviction.

Like he knew he wasn't good enough for any of this. But, regardless, he was still willing to try.

Sora understood that completely. And he knew why Midoryia stood up in spite of his teacher's words to him.

Around the side, another scoff from Bakugo.

"What's that loser doing?" He growled. "He should just save himself the trouble and go home."

Tsu croaked in concern, pointedly ignoring the blonde's comment. "Kero. If his Quirk hurts him so badly, he shouldn't risk his body on this throw. It could take him out of the class entirely if he hurts himself too much."

"... Maybe," Sora replied, looking back out towards the main grounds, unaware that he had caught the full attention of the group once more. "But he wants to be a hero like the rest of us, right? And, no matter how much it may hurt him..." The Red Ranger clenched his fist. "He wants to at least try with his chance. And, honestly, that's something I can get behind."

Ochaco smiled. "It is, isn't it?" She echoed with a bright shine in her eyes. And suddenly, she was calling out. "You got this, Midoryia! Show off that strength!"

"Yes!" Iida yelled out, alongside the girl. "We know what you can do! Show it proudly!"

"Yeah, man!" Kirishima echoed.

"You got this!" Mina cried.

Sora stood, stunned. He didn't expect to get a reaction like that. And it was the same for Izuku, as he turned in a bit of shock of his own.

"What the hell...?" Reina shrugged. "C'mon, Freckles! You got this!"

"Show the ball who's boss!" Kiba yelled, flexing his bicep.

"We're rooting for you!" Cyrus cheered on.

"Fight on!" Ayumi echoed, cupping her hands around her mouth to be louder.

Once he saw a small group of his friends were cheering for him, Sora saw a bit of the uneasiness leave his expression. And, as Midoryia's gaze drifted to the brunette, who grinned and gave him a thumbs up.

Izuku, a thankful smile tugging at his lips, turned back to the test and prepared himself as Aizawa watched lackadaisical from the sidelines.

"What strength, you idiots?!" Bakugo laughed. "That quirkless wannabe doesn't have anything!"

Cyrus turned to him with an arched eyebrow. "You did see that build up before he threw, right? And everyone is talking about his strength. I'm pretty sure he has a Quirk. And, even if he didn't, so what? He still got into UA, right? That makes him on the same level as the rest of us!"

"You're delusional, you damn extra." The ash-blonde sneered. "Ever since day one, he's been nothing but a weakling. Doesn't even have the guts to-!"

BBBOOOOMMMM!

Whatever the bully was going to say, it was lost in what could only be described as a crack of thunder and wind and a kick of dust and sand across the entire area.

The ball that was launched from Izuku's hand travelled with the force of a cannon, cracking clouds apart and breaking through the sky with a soar of sound and propulsion. Gasps peppered across the class as they witnessed this burst of power. And even Aizawa looked shocked at what he just witnessed.

But all of that was nothing compared to the score readout present on the device.

"705.7!" Sero gasped. "Holy crap! I knew you guys said he was strong, but this strong?!"

"Mr. Aizawa..." Izuku called out. He looked up to his teacher, a smile across his expression and sweat across his brow as he clenched his fist. One of his fingers was now swollen and purple, but it did nothing to detract from the outright determination and joy across the boy's expression. "I... can still move!"

Aizawa, who's expression had been set to a grim and tired determination, suddenly looked at the green haired boy with far more interest. And, despite the exhaustion in his eyes, he smirked. "This kid..."

Beside him, Ochaco cheered. "Woo! Now that's a hero-like score! I knew he could do it!"

Iida, ever the worrier, only stopped in thought. "His fingers appear to be swollen. Thinking back to the Entrance Exam... what a strange Quirk."

"Who cares if it's strange!" Ayumi smiled. "It's good!"

"Yeah!" Kirishima exclaimed, delighted. "Midoryia's a real powerhouse!"

"With that kind of power, it's pretty obvious how he took down that zero-pointer!" Kiba added with a laugh. "That thing probably stood no chance!"

Cyrus couldn't help but stare in awe a little bit. "Amazing..." he thought outloud. "By applying the force of his quirk at full power right as he was about to throw the ball, he maximized the force he threw it at while minimalizing the damage done to his own body. Can't lie...that was ingenious."

"Yeah," Sora agreed, still trying to wrap his head around the pure power that Midoryia had. "Man, bad guys aren't going to stand a chance with him around. It's one shot, but it's one effective shot."

"What was that about him being a nobody?" Reina smirked at the now dumbfounded Bakugo.

Meanwhile, Bakugo was looking at Midoriya in confusion on what just happen.

"What the hell?!" Bakugo had a bewildered expression on his face. "If he had a quirk, he would've gotten it when we were kids! This is impossible!" He thought still surprised. "He's up to something..." Bakugo narrowed his eyes, hand twitching. "I'm getting to the bottom of this!" He curled his fingers, lighting explosions in his palms before bolting towards Midoriya.

"DEKU, YOU BASTARD!" Bakugo shouted, kicking up dust behind him.

Izuku flinched at the angry voice and glanced up, face turning into a terrified one as Bakugo neared him.

"TELL ME HOW YOU DID THAT OR YOU'RE DEAD!" Bakugo shouted reached his hand out towards Midoriya, lighting more explosions in his hands.

"AHHHHH!" Izuku gave a cry of alarm, but seemed utterly rooted to his spot as the explosion thrower closed the distance rapidly, smoke and fire pouring from his palms.

Suddenly another figure shot forward and tackled the blonde down. The Rangers right away knew who.

"Way to go, Rei!" Kiba cheered.

The greenette had her arms locked around Bakugo's arms and head, stopping his upper movement as her legs were pressed down on his. "Chill out, dude."

Izuku looked to the girl in awe. 'She...saved me.'

"Get off me, you-" Bakugo growled with Reina tightened her hold on him.

"Only when you aren't acting like a homicidal maniac." The greenette said dangerously as she tightened her grip

Bakugo tried to use his Quirk on or around her face, but nothing happened. Figuring out quickly that Aizawa was using his Quirk and watching them. "Geez, stop using your Quirk already." He told Bakugo with a threatening tone. "I'm getting dry eye over here."

After hearing that, most of the class somehow mentally said together...

'Too bad, because his Quirk's amazing!'

'What the hell kind of weakness is that?' Kiba questioned in his mind.

"Huh. I guess that explains why he looks tired..." Cyrus mumbled.

Aizawa sighed once more, "What a waste of time. Prepare for the next throw." Before he could release his Quirk on Bakugo...

"Hey, uhh, Rei? You can let go, I think you're suffocating him." Ayumi pointed out.

"Huh?" Reina looked down at Bakugo and saw that his skin was turning red from oxygen depravation and considered holding him longer before sighing and letting the ash-blonde go as he took in deep breaths. "Oh."

Izuku immediately walked away from Bakugo and headed back to the others.

Bakugo stood up and glared a bit more at Izuku, though he knew that if he tried anything again, his teacher wouldn't be so kind, and chances are he would have been the one expelled. He also glared slightly at Reina, who had been keeping her eye on him the whole time, ready to fight him off if he got too close to Izuku.

"You're not worth my time anyway!" Bakugo said, walking off and angrily muttering, "That damn nerd and his little bodyguard."

As he left, Izuku took a sigh of relief. "Thanks for standing by me, Fukukado. Though next time you don't have to put yourself at risk, Kacchan's really tough, and I don't want you to get hurt."

"First off, never scream like that again," Reina said, catching Izuku by surprise. "You're training to be a hero, a hero shouldn't get easily scared or scream in terror when faced with adversity, your quirk is really strong, you could have punched that scumbag to next week."

Izuku had an unsure look on his face, "It's not as easy as it sounds. I have little control over my power."

"I'm sure you'll figure something out, just do it soon." Reina waved him off. "Besides, he doesn't seem that tough, from what I saw at throughout the test, he's all muscle, no brain, I think I can take him in a fight."

"Midoriya, Fukukado." Aizawa said, getting their attention. "If you're done talking then get moving, we still have three more exercises to get through."

The two nodded and went to the next location, completing the rest of the exercises.

To Be Continued...

Test 6: Distance Run

The sixth test was the long distance run. The Rangers had no problem in this test since they ran around a lot when they were training for the entrance exam, so all 5 of them had more stamina than the average person.

They were easily outrunning everyone except for Momo, who was using the electric shooter from the first test and Iida, who can run for a long period of time thanks to his quirk.


Test 7: Seated Toe-Touch

The seventh test is the seated toe-touch. It was a simple one but some of the students had a hard time. The 5 Power Rangers were having no problems, but the ones that stood out the most in this test were Mina and Ayumi, who had flexible bodies.


Test 8: Sit Ups

The last test was the sit ups. Everyone was on the floor doing sit ups. Some were struggling with their sit ups and stopped around their 10th or 20th sit up. Todoroki stopped at 39, and Bakugo stopped at 45 even though he wanted to keep going but couldn't. The Rangers were still going on without much of a problem, until Aizawa had to flag them.

"It's obvious that you five can go on for a while." Aizawa had said to the group. "So stop wasting my time and let's rank your scores." He said to them.


Soon, the Rangers and the other students are now done with the quirk assessment test, and gathered up to see the results.

"Alright, time to give you your results." Aizawa said. "I've ranked you all from best to worst. You should probably have a good idea of your standing already. I'll just pull up the whole list. It's not worth going over each individual score." Aizawa clicked his remote, pulling up a large, blue screen that listed each student's score.

Rankings

1st: Sora Ukashi

2. Reina Fukukado

3. Kiba Mason

4. Ayumi Suzuni

5. Cyrus Hado

6.Momo Yaoyorozu

7.Shoto Todoroki

8.Katsuki Bakugo

9.Iida Tenya

10.Fumikage Tokoyami

11.Mezo Shoji

12.Mashirao Ojiro

13.Ejiro Kirishima

14.Mina Ashido

15.Ochako Uraraka

16.Hanta Sero

17.Rikado Sato

18.Tsuyu Asui

19.Koji Koda

20.Yuga Aoyama

21.Denki Kaminari

22.Kyoka Jiro

23.Toru Hagakure

24.Minoru Mineta

25.Izuku Midoriya

Everyone was surprised to see Sora getting first on the exam. Bakugo was furious that the damn Rangers beat him again as he grits his teeth in rage. The other students were relieved of their positions while Izuku turned away in what could only be described as pure despair.

Aizawa expressionlessly turned off the screen. "And I was lying, no one's going home." The entire class stared at him with disbelief, shocked expressions littering the crowd. Aizawa grinned. "That was just a rational deception to make sure you gave it your all in the tests."

Everyone gasped, a unified "HUH?!" Coming from the crowd except for Cyrus and Momo. Izuku, out of everyone, was the most shocked.

"I'm surprised the rest of you didn't figure that out... I'm sorry, I guess I probably should've said something." Momo said with her hands on her hips.

Everyone stared at Yaoyorozu from the corner of their eyes. "Yeah, you should have." They all thought.

"Actually he wasn't lying." Cyrus said to them with his hands in his pockets.

What he said confused the class and surprised Momo.

"You know it's not funny to mess with us like that, Mr. Aizawa." Cyrus said, fixing his glasses.

"What do you mean, Cyrus?" Momo asked the bluenette.

"What I mean is, he was telling the truth about expelling someone." Cyrus said to her and turned to his class. "Do you remember what he said before the test? He said that the 8 physical tests were to gauge our potential and whoever comes in last has none and will be expelled immediately. Which means that he saw potential in Midoriya, despite him coming in last place." He said to them before turning to Aizawa. "Not only that, but if someone didn't put their all in this test, it didn't matter what place they came in. You would've sent them home regardless, right?" The bluenette said to his teacher. "I mean, you expelled an entire class of freshman students last year, just because they didn't meet your standards."

Everyone in the class gasped in pure shock from the bombshell that was dropped on them. Their homeroom teacher actually expelled an entire class of students.

Aizawa couldn't help but smile and chuckle lightly as his student saw past him. "You have a good memory." He said. "You're right. It didn't matter if any of you came in first or last, if no one here showed any potential, I wouldn't have hesitated in kicking any of you out." Aizawa said with a grin.

Everyone was surprised by this and was happy they took the test seriously. The one who was surprised the most was Momo, she was stunned by this. How could she have missed that little detail in his sentence?

"I guess I was wrong." Momo said in disappointment with her head down. She then felt a hand on her shoulder and looked to see it was Cyrus.

"Nobody's perfect, we all make mistakes." the Blue Ranger told her.

"Yeah, Yaoyorozu. You're still pretty smart." Toru said, cheering her up.

Momo just smiled as her classmates cheered her up. "Thank you both."

Sero turned around, smiling nervously at Kirishima. "That was pretty nerve-racking, huh?"

"Nah, I'm always down for a challenge." Kirishima grinned, bringing his fist up to his chest.

Bakugo scoffed, turning his head to the side.

"We're not done yet," Aizawa stated, which left the students confused. He then turned his gaze onto the Red Ranger. "Ukashi, I want a one-on-one sparring match with you."

"WHAAAT?!" The whole class was bewildered by the request.

Even Sora was not expecting that from Aizawa.

"Why the hell does one of the Quirkless extras get to fight you?!" Bakugo angrily asked.

"Yes, I agree, sir! Why do you want to fight, Ukashi!?" Iida asked.

"Ukashi and his friends didn't display their full power during the test." The students then stared at Sora. "You know what I mean don't you, Ukashi? Go on and morph." Aizawa said.

The students were confused about about what Aizawa meant except for the other 4 Rangers who looked at their leader in concern and Mina and Jiro since they had seen it in action before, and were quite excited to see it again.

"But Mr. Aizawa, I already told you th-" Sora was then cut off.

"I remember what you said but you are going to become a hero someday, Ukashi." Aizawa then turned his head to the rest of the class. "This also goes for the rest of the Hero Force Rangers." He said getting the attention of said group, but confused everyone else. "If you all only display it during a villain fight or rescue situation then it's just useless. You need to think more rationally than that. Also, there will be plenty of students who are stronger than you so if you don't use it then you're dead meat."

The Rangers all got what Aizawa was saying. They made it a rule to only morph for battling villains like the ones the Power Rangers have fought, but there, but there will be plenty of battles in U.A.

"Okay..." Sora said in a serious tone. "I'll do it."

This only ends up confusing everyone even further, except the Rangers, Jiro, and Mina.

"Think he's going to be okay?" Ayumi asked her friends.

"To be honest, I don't really know. Sora's going up against a seasoned Pro hero, so it won't be an easy fight." Cyrus said with a little concern in his voice.

"Ahh, come on." Kiba said, throwing his arms around Ayumi and Cyrus. "The teach may have experience, but he's got nothing on Sora!"

"Guess we'll have to see." Reina said, folding her arms under her chest.

"Umm... I'm lost. What's going on here?" Ochaco asked.

"You're about to find out!" Mina cheerfully answered. "Do it, Ukashi!"

"It's Morphin Time!" Sora shouted before moving his left arm in front of himself,

This confused everyone there who witnessed it except for the other Rangers, Mina, Jirou, and Aizawa.

Sora pressed down on his morpher, causing it to start glowing red. He then thrusted his left arm out together. "Call of the Hero!" He shouted in unison as he pulled his left arm back and used his right hand to spin the Morpher's top half.

~Morphing Sequence: Hero Force (Cue Opening)

The background changes to a terrain of flames as Soraa held out his Morpher, which glowed red, as the spirit of a Red Condor soars in front of him. Sora rushes towards the Condor Spirit, before it forms around his body and creating his Red Ranger outfit from his neck to feet. As his hero lands on the grass, Sora's helmet formed on his head with a black visor while red, hot flames roar in the background as he poses.

~Morphing Sequence End~

"Guardian of Fire! Hero Force Red!" Sora announced as he finished with his pose.

All the students were now amazed by the heroic transformation that Sora just did with a look of awe, disbelief, and admiration, except Todoroki.

Izuku's mouth was wide open with a shocked expression on his face. Sora suddenly made a costume appear on him and was ready to face Aizawa. Normally he would have geeked over something like this, but he was too stunned to do anything except look at Sora.

Bakugo had the same expression as Izuku, as he was trying to figure out how this quirkless freak made a costume appear out of thin air.

Todoroki's full attention was now on Sora with his transformation. He just made a costume appear on him with that strange device on his wrist.

Momo's eyes were slightly widened from the transformation. She noticed that he used a device on his wrist to activate the transformation. She had never seen such technology before and was wondering if he used a Support Item or some highly advanced device that made the costume appear.

"What... just... happened?" Uraraka slowly said, looking like she was going to pass out from the shock.

"What... How can... He shouldn't..." Iida was so confused he didn't know what to say. He was just wondering if something like this was allowed in the exam.

"What a magnificent costume!" Aoyama complimented the design of the suit.

Mina's eyes widened from the transformation, as she was happy to see it again.

"Wow! Did you see that?! He just made a costume appear on him!" Kaminari said, shaking in fear.

"Holy cow! That was manly!" Kirishima said amazed by the transformation.

"And cool!" Sato and Sero added in together.

"Wow," Koda said in a low tone, interested in seeing the condor's head.

"Hey, wait. I've seen that suit before...." Shoji spoke up with widened eyes.

"Agreed." Tokoyami nodded with narrowed eyes. "Question is, where?"

"You guys don't remember?" Mina asked, getting the entire class attention.

"What was that Mina?" Kirishima asked.

"Ukashi and his friends!" Mina shouted out while pointing at Sora and the other Rangers. "They're the Power Rangers from the news!" She happily said to them.

...

...

...

"WHHHAAATTT!!!?"

This made everyone's eyes widen in shock except for Jiro, who already knew. Of course, they all remember the crazy incidents where the Power Rangers showed up to stop that strange-looking villains, but they didn't recognize the Rangers until Mina said something. Now the entire class can't believe that the same heroes from before were in their class.

Aizawa couldn't help but sigh, he knew this was coming but that didn't mean he was looking forward to it.

"The vigilantes?" Said Tsyu as she looked back at the team.

Uraraka just stood there as her eyes started to widen in shock as she recalled the familiar names that her mother told her about.

Momo looked at the Rangers with a shocked expression. She remembers the incident from a year ago on the news, when they stopped that horse-man villain. Despite being Quirkless, they are still able to stop that villain. Now she finally gets to know them personally, especially Cyrus.

Mina was grinning happily as she was eyeing Kiba. She, along with everyone else, remembered the incident and thought it was so cool how he and his friends took down a villain and wanted to meet them personally. Now she finally gets her chance since they're all in the same class.

While the class was talking about how cool the Rangers were, Bakugo was gritting his teeth in rage at how everyone was complimenting the quirkless freaks. He couldn't wait to see his teacher beat the hell out of this faker and teach him that a quirkless loser can't be a hero.

Todoroki, one of the recommended students, just narrowed his eyes in suspicion locked on the Rangers. He had heard of what happened with the wolf villain and his father Endeavour, even the rumors about the entrance exam a month ago. From the day on, he intended to keep his eyes on Sora and see how he will fight their teacher.

"Holy crap, really!?" Toru shouted.

"I guess that does explain Ukashi's suit." Sato thought out loud.

"How come we didn't notice that until now?!" Kaminari shouted.

"It happened so long ago we must have forgotten who they were," Shoji said to them.

All eyes were pointed at the Rangers, who took on rigid postures at the sudden attention.

"Well, guess that cat's out of the bag..." Kiba snorted with a shrug.

"Is it true, are you the vigilantes?" Tenya asked, stepping forward.

"Well..." Cyrus uttered, rubbing his head.

Before anymore could be said, Aizawa saw enough and decided to step in.

"Enough." All questions came to a halt as Aizawa spared a brief glance at the class. "I'm putting an end to any future gossip. Yes, Ukashi, Fukukado, Hado, Mason and Suzuni are all the former vigilantes known as the Power Rangers."

All eyes turned to said group, who continued to stay silent. 'Power Rangers?'

Aizawa continued speaking. "Regardless, we were able to resolve the issue. What that issue is and how it was resolved is nobody's business besides the Rangers and the teachers. U.A. does not encourage or support any vigilante acts, performing those acts while enrolled will land you expulsion. That has not changed."

He added a pause to his sentence, only to emphasize that last part.

"You have all come here to learn how to become proper heroes, they're no different. Understand?"

"Yes sir!" The entire group said with a firm tone.

"Good." With that, Aizawa prepared his scarf as he faced Sora again. "I'll be coming at you with everything I got, Ukashi. So I suggest you do the same."

The class then returned their attention back to the upcoming fight.

The Red Ranger then got into a fight stand. "Got it." He said to his teacher.

"Good, ready when you are," Aizawa said.

Sora charged towards Aizawa at a quick pace using his super speed as he moved like a red blur.

Aizawa tried to dodge the attack but wasn't quick enough as Sora landed a punch on his face, sending his teacher flying back to the ground.

This surprised everyone in the class as their classmate was able to hit their teacher easily.

"He punched a Pro hero like it was nothing." Kaminari said while his eyebrows were twitching.

"But did you see how fast he moved?" Tsuyu said.

"That speed... it takes me a good distance to even go that fast," Iida said to them.

"It has to be his outfit." Sero said.

"Yeah, maybe that's how he was able to move so fast." Toru said, hitting her fist on her hand.

Bakugo, who heard this, was pissed by this development, and Todoroki who was waiting for the fight to end in silence.

Aizawa got back on his feet, but was still a little dazed from the unexpected punch and speed.

"I didn't expect him to move that fast. But it won't happen again, cause I'll be ready this time." Aizawa thought until he saw Sora running at him again.

Sora jumped up to punch Aizawa again, but Aizawa rolled out of the way as Sora's punch hit the ground. Aizawa then used his quirk to launch his scarf around Sora's left arm and throw him across the field on his back. Aizawa didn't give him a chance to make a move as he dragged Sora over to him with his scarf still around his arm.

Sora uses both of his legs to push himself in the air over Aizawa while doing a backflip as slowly descended on the ground and lands on his feet.

Sora rushed over to Aizawa and punched him with his free arm but Aizawa moved to the right to evade the punch. Aizawa then pulls Sora to him for a kick, only for the Red Ranger to counter with his own kick. The two kept on throwing punches, kicks, and counters to try to outsmart one another.

Getting tired of this stalemate, Sora jumps back from Aizawa to get some distance. Aizawa tried to pull the brunette back to him, but Sora used his strength to keep that from happening.

"Pyro Saber!" Sora shouted, pressing the red and yellow buttons on his Morpher simultaneously.

When he did, his sword materialized in front of him in mid-air, which shocked Aizawa and the students except for the other four Rangers, as they saw a sword appear in mid-air. That shouldn't even be possible, even Momo was bewildered while Todoroki ignored the impossible transition and watched closely.

Sora grabs the Pyro Saber with his right hand and uses it to cut himself free from Aizawa's scarf. Aizawa was slightly surprised by this as his special scarf could not be easily torn or cut apart, but this Pyro Saber was able to do it.

"It looks like my quirk is no good against his Ranger abilities." Aizawa thought that his power was useless to Sora.

Sora ran back to Aizawa again with his sword in hand as he ignited it in flames. Aizawa tried to capture Sora again with his scarf but the Red Hero Ranger used his sword to cut his scarf up like it was paper. Aizawa moved out of the way to evade the attack, but Sora wasn't letting up as he was swinging slash after slash at Aizawa, grazing him a few times.

His Quirk didn't work on the Ranger and if he used his scarf it would just get cut up again. Aizawa gritted his teeth in frustration because the only thing he could do was dodge.

The students were amazed that their classmate was putting a Pro Hero on the ropes while Todoroki was confused, same with Bakugo who couldn't process what was happening.

"Wow, I don't believe it!" Uraraka said out loud with widened eyes.

"Ukashi fighting a Pro hero and winning," Iida said in awe.

"He's the same age as us and he's this good," Mina said unable to look away.

"He's fighting on the same level as a Pro hero, Awesome!" Izuku said out loud.

"Yeah, it is." Jirou nodded with a smile.

"Get him, bro!" Kiba cheered, fistpumping in the air.

Aizawa then comes up with a plan to end this fight. When Sora comes to strike his sword at him, Aizawa jumps over the Ranger and wraps his scarf around Sora's body, immobilizing and holding him in place.

The students were caught off guard by how their teacher turned things around in his favor.

Todoroki thought the fight was over now that Sora was captured by Aizawa.

Bakugo just happily smiled at the wannabe being beaten. He only wishes it was him who had done it instead of his teacher.

"You lose Ukashi," Aizawa said, not letting up his grip.

Sora was struggling to break free from the scarf, but then he came up with an idea.

"You know Mr. Aizawa, I thought you would know to be careful around fire" Sora said with a smile, confusing his teacher.

"What?" Aizawa said.

Sora's body began to glow bright red as he channeled his power. "Power of the Condor!" He shouted as flames surrounded his entire body, burning the scarf into mere cinders.

Aizawa was caught off guard and was unable to keep his hold on Sora, as his entire body was being thrown back across the field.

The students watched in surprise as their classmate was able to turn the tables on their homeroom teacher.

Todoroki's eyes widened at the turnaround.

Bakugo lost his smile and was replaced with shock.

Aizawa couldn't do anything as he felt slight pain with his body thrown across the field, before coming to a painful stop. He got back on his feet only to see what Sora was going to do next.

"Brave Blaster!" Sora shouted while drawing his blaster from its holster with his left hand.

"Did he just say blaster?!" Everyone thought in surprise as he summoned a new weapon except Reina, Cyrus, Kiba, Ayumi, Jirou, and Todoroki.

Sora twirled his Brave Blaster with his left hand and pointed it at Aizawa (setting it to stun btw), which made the hero's eyes widen.

"Fire!" The red Ranger shouted as he fired five shots at Aizawa.

Aizawa quickly dodged all five blasts as they almost got him, but Sora took advantage of his distraction and used his speed to close the distance between them.

"Oh no!" Aizawa thought in horror.

Sora put both hands on the sword while holding it near his head, as fire engulfed around the blade. "FireBird Slash!" He exclaimed loudly, twisting the sword slightly. He then slashed it downwards at Aizawa, cutting his scarf in half around his neck along with his shirt, hurting the hero. Aizawa fell down on the ground due to the attack unable to continue the fight.

Sora looked down at his teacher. "Was that good enough for you, Mr. Aizawa?" He asked.

Aizawa groans in pain from the attack and nods. "Yeah, you performed well. You can revert back now."

"Power Down." Sora said as he demorphed and grabbed Aizawa by his arm, helping him up off the ground.

"Also, sorry about the scarf and shirt." Sora apologized.

"It's fine, I have spares," Aizawa said to his student.

As Sora was helping Aizawa, he did not notice the shocked looks on his classmate's faces. They couldn't believe it, Sora beat a pro hero in combat.

"Whoo-hoo!/ Heck yeah!" Ayumi and Kiba cheered, respectfully

Reina and Cyrus smiled at their leader's victory.

Izuku, Ochaco, Iida, Tsuyu, Toru, Sero, Koda, Ojiro, Sato, and Aoyama were amazed at how Sora beat a Pro hero.

Mina, Jiro and Momo were impressed by Sora's performance.

Tokoyam, Shoji, and Kirishima looked at Sora with respectful looks on their faces.

Mineta and Kaminari were shaking in fear at the quirkless boy fighting display and were hoping to never get on his bad side.

Todoroki looked at Sora in suspicion from his fight.

Bakugo froze in frustration, he thought the wannabe was going to lose but instead, he won against a Pro no less.

Aizawa spoke up again. "That's it, we're done for the day. Everyone, go inside to change and head back to the classroom." Aizawa announced.

After saying that, Aizawa walked up to Izuku and called his name. Izuku looked up and was handed a piece of paper by his teacher. "Take this and have the old lady fix you up. Things are gonna be tougher tomorrow when your actual training begins. Make sure you're prepared."

And, with that, the teacher of 1-A walked away to get a new shirt and scarf.

Sora headed back to his friends, as they walked back to their classroom along with the rest of the students.


Meanwhile, Aizawa made his way behind the school building. But he had an unexpected visitor watching him.

"Aizawa, that was a rotten move." All Might criticized as the man walked past.

Aizawa turned to look at him, unfazed. "All Might... So you were watching. No talk shows today?"

All Might ignored his jab. "A rational deception. That's cute, but you're not exactly known for being lighthearted." The No.1 Hero said to Aizawa. "I read your file. Last year, you expelled an entire class of freshman students." All Might placed his hands on his hips. "You have no problem kicking students out. Anyone you deemed unworthy. You were planning on sending last place home." All Might said with a grin, pointing his finger at Aizawa.

"What is this about?" Aizawa turned to face All Might, a slightly teasing smile on his face. "Yes, I saw potential in all of them, otherwise, I would have sent them home straight away. It's cruel to let children keep dreaming about something that will never come true." He said in his usual tone.

"In your own strange way, you're a kind man, Aizawa. But..." All Might spoke to himself. "Clearly, we are gonna have a problem." He thought before changing the subject. "So what do you think about the Power Rangers?" He asked.

Aizawa then stopped in his tracks. "They're strong. Way too strong for their own good." Aizawa said without looking at All Might. "And my power doesn't work on them at all." He said in a slightly tired tone.

"Yes, I saw!" All Might laugh out loud. "Young Ukashi was quite impressive. It's not every day we see a freshman student beat a teacher in combat. But I shouldn't expect any less from a Power Ranger."

"Don't get carried away. Ukashi and the rest of his team may have an enormous amount of potential, probably the most potential that U.A. students have ever had. But they still have a long way to go before they can be called real Power Rangers." Aizawa said before walking away.


U.A. High School Classroom 1-A- Afternoon

"Now everyone take your seats." Aizawa said now with new clothes on as the students were seating in their desks. He was standing back behind the podium. "Alright, let's do introductions. By seat number say your name, quirk, and something about yourself." Aizawa said to them, as he got into his sleeping bag.

"I guess it's moi' turn first. I am Yuga Aoyama, and my quirk is called Navel Laser! I shoot a laser from my belly button and sparkle!" Aoyama said sparkling with a pose.

'What a tool...' came the collective thoughts of most of the students.

"I'm up!" Mina spoke up through the silence that followed Ayoma's weird introduction. She practically skipped up to the front of the classroom. "Hi everyone! I'm Mina Ashido, and my quirk is Acid! I can secrete acid from my body! I love to dance! Hope to get along with you all!" Mina said cheerful, as she sat down.

Tsuyu, seeing that she was next, made her way to the front of the classroom with a hunch. "I'm Tsuyu Asui, but you can call me Tsu. My quirk is Frog. I can do anything a Frog can. I always speak my mind and it's nice to meet you, ribbit." Tsuyu simply said.

Iida then made his way to the front of the classroom in a very unusual stride, causing several of his fellow classmates to sweat-drop. "Greetings! I am Tenya Iida! My quirk is Engine! I have a engine in my calves that let me run faster! My favorite drink is orange juice! I look forward to studying with you all!" Iida said chopping his hand in the air, before sitting back down.

"Yep, definitely like Sky." The Rangers thought about Iida, as they recalled the S.P.D Blue Ranger.

"Hi everyone! I'm Ochako Uraraka, and my quirk is Zero Gravity! I can remove the gravity from anything that I touch. I love eating mochi! I hope we can be friends!" Uraraka said in a bouncy and cheerful mood.

Everything that came from Uraraka's mouth appeared to up the sugar in the blood of everyone in the room, her innocent smile lighting up the room.

'So, cheerful!' Most of the class thought.

'Cute!!!'

"Well I think I just fell in love," Kaminari commented.

"She just looks really eager, I think that's fine." Izuku said.

"Hottie No.2..." Mineta muttered with a perv smile.

"I am Mashirao Ojiro. My quirk is called Tail. It gives me a tail. I am a martial artist. Pleasure meeting you all." Ojiro said before taking his seat.

'Martial artist, huh?' Sora thought being impressed by Ojiro, before getting up and going to the board next.

"Hey, my name is Sora Ukashi and I'm Quirkless. I'm also a martial artist and I love to play video games. I'm the leader of the Power Rangers Hero Force and the Red Ranger." Sora said showing his Red Morpher attached to his wrist for everyone to see.

"What's a Power Ranger?" Everyone thought in confusion, expect for the other Rangers.

"Even know I don't have a quirk like everyone else here, that won't stop me from being a hero. Because my friends and I plan on becoming the first ever quirkless heroes and show everyone that a quirkless person like us can be heroes." Sora finished.

Everyone in just looked at him for a couple of seconds before they erupted into clapping. All the students were praising him for his determination, except for Todoroki who looked at Sora with a cold gaze and Bakugo who was just gritting his teeth and glaring angrily at him, still refusing to accept the fact of a quirkless person being a hero.

The other Ranger all smiled at their friend's speech. "You go, Leader!" Kiba teased loudly.

Then as Sora sat back down, the next person introduced themselves.

"Yo! I'm Denki Kaminari. My quirk is called Electrification. I can emit electricity from my body that I use to attack. I like to think I'm cool dude to be around! Nice to meet you all." Kaminari said a little energetic.

"What's up! I'm Eijiro Kirishima! My quirk is called Hardening! I can harden my body like a rock and attack. My favorite hero is Crimson Riot. I look forward to training with you all." Kirishima said with passion.

'Definitely a loud one,' thought most of the class.

'Manliness personified,' thought a small portion of the class.

"I'm Koji Koda. My quirk is called Anivoice. I can control any animals that are in my range. I don't like bugs." Koda said quickly before sitting back down and hiding his face behind his hands.

"Aw! That's adorable, Koda!" Mina spoke up after hearing the introduction. Said teen was too flustered to even look up from his hiding spot.

"Hi, I'm Cyrus Hado, and I am also Quirkless. I'm into technology and I'm what you would call a 'tech geek'. I'm a member of the Hero Force Rangers and the Blue Ranger." The bluenette said showing them his blue Morpher attached to his wrist. "Nice meeting you."

Soon, the class start to whisper to one another trying to figure out what a Power Ranger is.

"I'm Rikido Sato! My quirk is Sugar Rush. With every 10 grams of sugar I eat I can multiply my strength by 5 times! I love to cook. Looking forward to learning with you all." Sato said with a smile.

"I'm Mezo Shoji, and my quirk is Dupli-Arms. I can recreate certain organs on the ends of my arms, like mouths, eyes, and ears. I don't really have anything specific I like. Looking forward to studying with you." Shoji simply said to the class.

"Alright," Kyoka spoke up. "My name is Kyoka Jiro. My Quirk is called Earphone Jack. I can send the vibrations and sounds from my heartbeat into anything I connect them to. My hearing is also pretty good. I like playing music."

"What kind of instrument?" Kaminari called out.

"Not your business."

"Then why even say anything on it?!"

"Shut it, idiot."

"Wha...?"

"Whoever's next, please get up here."

"Hi!" Ayumi excitedly yelled with a cute smile. "My name's Ayumi Suzuni, and much like Sora and Cy, I'm also Quirkless. I'm into gymnastics, cheerleading and helping people. Oh, I'm also member of the Hero Force Rangers and the Pink Ranger." She finshed, holding up her Pink Morpher with playful wink. "Hope we get along!"

Like Ochaco, Ayumi's smile lit up the room with a bright pink background.

'Super Cute!!!' Most of the class thought.

'A total babe with nice curves!!!' Mineta drooled in a creepy way.

"Yo! I'm Hanta Sero. My quirk is called Tape! I can produce tape from my elbows that are as tough as steel. I like to hang out and just chill. I look forward to getting to know you all!" Sero said with a smile.

"Greetings, I am Fumikage Tokoyami. My quirk is called Dark Shadow, and I can summon a sentient shadow from inside myself that I use to fight. I love the darkness. Nice meeting all of you." Tokoyami said bowing a little because taking his seat.

"Hey, guys." Reina waved. "Name's Reina Fukukado. And yeah, my sister's Ms. Joke."

The class was taken by surprise at this information, especially Izuku.

"I'm also Quirkless. I'm into track running, surfing, and any type of fighting style out there. In case you're wondering, yeah, I'm a member of the Hero Force Rangers and look good in black." She finshed, hold up her Blck Morpher.

'What the heck IS a Power Ranger!?' Most of the class thought

"I'm Shoto Todoroki. My quirk is called Half-Hot, Half-Cool. I don't really have any likes or dislike." Todoroki said quickly sitting down, not giving anymore information about himself or his quirk.

"Hi! I'm Toru Hagakure! My quirk is called Invisibility, and as you can see it makes me invisible. I love girly stuff and anything about love! Can't wait to learn with you all!" Hagakure cheerful said with clothes moving, even know they couldn't see her body.

"I'm Katsuki Bakugo, and my quirk is called Explosion. I plan on being the next number one hero and a even greater hero than All Might himself. You extras don't need to know anything else." Bakugo said in a non-caring arrogant tone before sitting back down.

'Jeez, what a hardass.' Nearly everyone thought.

O-Oh right, it's m-my turn." Midoriya said as he stopped writing something in his notebook and stand. "Um... Uh... M-my name is I-Izuku Mi-Midoriya. Um... My Q-Quirk is... uh..." There was a very loud gulp as Izuku forcibly swallowed his nerves in an attempt to calm himself. "My Quirk's name is Super Power! And I like studying heroes!"

Most of the students were taken aback from the surge of courage from the very introverted teen. Though there was that portion of the class that was a bit hinged on that last bit.

'Super Power? Really? That's incredibly generic. What, did he make it up on the spot?'

'Did I really disguise One-For-All as something as generic as Super Power?!' thought the exasperated teen as he made his way back to his seat, catching a glimpse of a majorly pissed off Bakugo when he passed him.

"Kid needs to work more on boosting his confidence." Reina thought before sighing, but can tell that Midoriya was still trying his best.

"Looks like I'm up!" Kiba said with a bit of excitement. "Yo! My name's Kiba Mason, Kibs or short. I'm Quirkless. So there's that. Something about myself...Hmm...other than the fact that I also rock with the Hero Force Rangers and yellow's my favorite color..." He hummed, showed his Yellow Morpher to the class with caused them face plant in the ground. "Oh! I like certain heroes, playing guitar, soccer, and hanging with my squad."

'So upbeat and optimistic! I like this guy!'

"Sup! I'm Minoru Mineta! My quirk is called Pop Off, which gives me these balls on my head that I can take off and stick to anything except myself. I love girls and plan to have a harem when I go pro." Mineta said to the class.

Soon after, ALL the girls in the class where now giving him a death glare as he sat back down, ignoring all the look of disgust on everyone faces.

'I'm going to DESTROY him!' Reina thought coldly.

"Hello, I'm Momo Yaoyoruzu. My quirk is called Creation. I can create anything from my body's liquids so long as I know the atomic structure of said item. I love tea and am happy to help anyone who needs help in class. I look forward to learning with you all." Momo said bowing a little with a smile.

Now that everyone in class introduces themselves, Aizawa got up from his sleeping bag and made a announcement.

"With that done, we're finished for today. Grab a syllabus from the podium and get ready for tomorrow." Aizawa said before leaving the class.

After that, everyone prepared to start heading home as the Rangers met up around Sora's desk.

"Welp, today was a rather...interesting day to say the least." Kiba chirped, his arms behind his head casusally.

"Oh sure! Nothing says interesting like getting a shady teacher who could keel over any second, hit students with a test that determines if they get expelled or not, only for said test to come out as a last minute 'ruse'." Reina spoke sarcastically with an eyeroll.

"Hehe...I take you're still upset about that?" Cyrus asked sheepishly.

"Obiviously."

"Well, look on the bright side!" Ayumi grinned. "Regardless of it being a ruse or not, we all managed to come out on top and no one got expelled. That's a 100% development!"

"She's right." Sora added in as he stood up. "So, why don't we hit up the Juice Bar in celebration?"

"Now, you're making sense!" Kiba exclaimed happily. "So, let's start making moves!"

"Huzzah!" The other Rangers cheered.

After returning to their desk to grab their things, they all left the classroom.

Unknown to them, Izuku, Ochaco, and Iida decided to follow the Rangers.

Meanwhile, Momo watched Cyrus leave the classroom with his friends and still couldn't help but to be curious about him. She was very interested in his abilities and what he and the other meant by 'Power Rangers'.

Bakugo merely gave the Rangers a death glare the entire class period, wanted to make them all pay for humiliating him. What type of of bullshit was this, letting quirkless cheaters into U.A.? It was bad enough that Deku lied to him all these years about being quirkless, but now here they were, 5 Quirkless cheaters who openly admitted their helplessness, acting as if they were already heroes. There's no way in hell he was going to accept those freaks in this school. But he decided to wait until tomorrow to get back at the quirkless bastards/bitches and left the class in a fit of rage.

Todoroki, who watched the Rangers leave, couldn't deny that they were strong and skilled. Which meant they were obstacles he had to clear, so he can show his bastard of a father that he doesn't need his power.

To Be Continued...

U.A High Entrance

Once the school day was over, the Rangers walked out of the building and were now making their way home...to change clothes and head for the Youth Center.

"Heeeeeey! Wait up, you guys!" A familiar female voice spoke out, causing the Rangers to turn around and to see Tenya, Ochaco, and a very tired-looking Izuku lagging behind.

"Oh, hey! It's you guys." Reina greeted as the three caught up to them.

"Hey guys." Izuku said faintly, as he drew near their group with weak steps.

Cyrus regarded Izuku with concern, "You okay, man? How's the finger?"

"Oh, it's fine," Izuku smiled tiredly, pointing up his bandaged finger. "All thanks to Recovery Girl. From what she told me about her Quirk, it stimulates the healing process but takes a lot of stamina. That's why I look so worn out."

"That's still weird to hear." Kiba stated bluntly, hoping he'd never have to encounter the elderly nurse anytime soon.

"Don't say that." Ayumi said, nudging the blonde. "Her power may be....unusual, but it works wonders on the body."

"Yeah. But anyways, was there something you guys needed?" Sora asked the group.

"We were wondering if you all were heading to the train station. If so, would you mind if we accompanied you." Tenya explained.

"Sure." Ayumi nodded. "We're about to head home to change and to hang out at the Juice Bar."

"Juice Bar? What's that?" Ochaco asked with a head tilt.

"A place we've been going there since we were kids." Cyrus answered. "So, it's become our go to spot."

"I think I heard of that place!" Izuku spoke, getting everyone's attention. "It has a lot of activities that the teenagers enjoy doing, and they make pretty good smoothies there."

"Not surprising that you know." Kiba snickered. "It's been around for years."

"That sounds like fun!" Ochaco beamed, looking at her two companions. "Right? Tenya? Deku?"

Izuku lifted his head in shock. "Deku!?" he gasped.

Ochaco blinked. "Yeah, isn't that what Bakugo called you during the fitness test?" She recalled a very angry Bakugo screaming out Izuku's name like a banshee.

'Deku, you bastard!'

"Now that you mentioned it, I've heard him say that before the Entrance Exam." Kiba hummed. "Is that your middle name, or like a nickname he has for you?"

"Oh, well, um, actually you see...Izuku is my actual name." Izuku admitted nervously, awkwardly placing a hand on the back of his head. "'Deku' is what Kacchan calls me to make fun of me."

"That's not sportsman-like," Tenya said, bringing a hand to his chin.

"What does that even mean?" Cyrus asked.

"It's a-it's an abbreviation of another nickname he gave me when we were kids: Defenseless Izuku." The greenette told them.

Ayumi frowned, "So that's what Deku means? Haven't you told him to stop calling you by that name?"

"When we were kids, yeah, but Kacchan would never listen. It's not like anyone cared enough to stop him, anyway." Izuku told them, solemnly lowering his gaze to the ground. "I couldn't do anything about it, so eventually, I just got used to it."

'I guess that explains his low self-esteem. From the scared and timid way he reacts whenever Bakugo is around, that guy probably bullied him a lot as a kid.' Sora thought, folding his arms.

"Oh, I didn't realize that. I'm sorry." Ochaco apologized, her voice filled with sincerity.

"Honestly, I like Deku." Ayumi said, tapping her finger to her chin. "It kinda has a 'never give up' type of vibe to it. I think it would make a cool hero name."

"Ooh! I like that meaning better!" Ochaco grinned merrily at Izuku. "Plus, I think it sounds kinda cute."

"Deku, it is!" Izuku suddenly exclaimed.

'That fast!?' Sora and Cyrus thought in shock.

Somewhat startled by the boy's sudden shift in mood, Tenya stared at Izuku inquisitively, his mouth dropping open slightly as he realized what he had just declared, "But...hold on, I thought you said that was an insult. I don't understand - why would you suddenly be okay being called that name?"

"Uh, well, you see, I just, oh, um..." His green-haired friend began to hopelessly stutter over his words. His pupils dilated, and the sclera of his eyes became increasingly visible as his eyes bulged out of their sockets. As the group looked at Izuku with puzzled expressions, Izuku sharply swung around and covered his flushed face with his hands, chuckling nervously.

"Simp..." Reina snickered with a headshake.

The male Ranger trio held back a laugh as the comment went unnoticed by everyone else.

"Maybe from her, it doesn't sound like an insult?" Ayumi said. "She did say it sounds like that other word. It sounds really cool!"

"By the way," Ochaco said to the Rangers in a gentle tone, while wearing a smile. "There's something I've been meaning to say to you all..." She walked in front of the team and what she did and said next shocked everyone in the group as she bowed her head a little to them.

"I would like to personally thank you for saving my mother."

"What?" Izuku and Tenya said in surprise, looking between her and the Rangers.

"Saved your mother?" Cyrus asked with a raised brow.

"I mean, we saved a lot of people in the square and the construction site." Kiba said, scratching his head. "Is that what you mean?"

"Mai Uraraka," Ochaco said, making the teams' eyes slightly widen. "She told me and my dad that she was attacked by a group of men on her way home, when a group of teenagers showed up and saved her. When I heard your names in class, it took me a while to recall, but thankfully I do now. And for that, I can't thank you enough from the bottom of my heart." She said to them.

"Oh, crap! That was your mom?" Reina said in shock, before realization hit her. "Damn, I guess that explains the surname."

"Don't worry about it. We were just doing the right thing." Sora said to her, not making a big deal of it.

"How is she, by the way?" Ayumi asked, stepping forward.

"Great!" Ochaco chirped with a bright smile. "Wait til I tell her that I met you guys! She's going to be so thrilled!"

Feeling like he should step in, Tenya let out a loud cough."If I may ask, I've been wondering about something. In class, you all mentioned something about being 'Power Rangers'. What exactly is that?"

Izuku perked up at this. "Oh, right! Is that your team name!? Where did you get those costumes?! How were you able to defeat that horse villain without quirks?! Do you have more costumes or just that one?! How strong were you when you fought Mr. Aizawa, Ukashi?! How did you..." Midoriya started firing question after question towards the Rangers while holding a notebook and pencil in his hands.

'Where did that come from?!' Everyone thought together in confusion as Izuku just pulled a notebook out of thin air.

No one was unable to tell what the greenette was saying at this point because he was talking a mile a minute.

"What is he doing?" Reina weirdly asked out loud.

"No idea?" Cyrus said as he was just as confused.

Sora, at this point, just had enough. "IZUKU!" He shouted, stopping the green-haired boy from speaking any farther. "I can't answer any of your questions if you just keep rapidly firing them at me."

"R-Right! Sorry about that, Sora!" Izuku said, rubbing his head in embarrassment. "I-I kinda have a b-b-bad habit of muttering w-when I get too e-excited about heroes."

"So, you're a fanboy?" Ayumi giggled with a hand near her mouth.

"K-Kinda..."

"Nothing wrong with that." Sora said, patting his shoulder. "Anyway, we can't tell you much about it. Not because we don't trust you, it's just we want to keep it on the down low a bit."

"Oh okay." Said Izuku as Sora lets go of his shoulder.

"But what I can tell you is that our team name is more than a team name, it's a title passed down. I can't go into it right now, but I'm sure that helps right?"

"Yeah, it does! Who gave you the title then was it the previous bearers?" The freckled-teen asked.

"Well... actually no, it was our mentor who gave us the title." Cyrus told him. "That's pretty much it on what we can tell you."

Izuku nodded at this, even though he was a little disappointed at not knowing more about the Rangers.

"Great. Now that's done, how about we get a move on?" Reina spoke, turning to make her way off campus.

Everyone nodded at that as the Rangers walked off with their three new friends from school.


Ukashi Residence

 "I'm home!" Sora annoucned out as he walked into his house and closed the door, before making his way into the living room.

 Then, to his surprise, Serena was sitting in the dining room and greeted him with a smile, "Welcome home, Sora! How was your first day at U.A.?"

"Uhh, pretty good." Sora said as he placed his bag down. "Teacher gave us a Power Test, and the whole gang passed with flying colors. Then, he challenged me to a spar and I won. So, yea..."

Serena snorted at this. "Why am I not surprised, considering what you and your friends are capable of. Still, I really am proud of you. I just wish I stayed to see you off for your first day." 

 "It's fine, Mom. You don't have to apologize for that. It's not your fault that you had work." Sora assured her as he waved it off.

"I guess so..." Serena mused over before perking up. "Oh! Before I forget, I wanted to give you something before you left for your first day." She stood up and picked up a small box that sat in front of her.

 "Huh?" Sora looked at her with a titled head as the woman walked over to him. "What is it?" 

"I wanted to give it to you this morning for luck for your first day, but I guess it'll serve as both a good luck charm for the rest of the school year and as a gift for how well you did for your first day." Serena explained as she handed the box to him. "So I figured, what the hell, I'll just give it to you, anyway."

"Okay, okay, okay." Sora said while chuckling as he opened up the box to reveal a mysterious pendant. Sora tilted his head as it somehow felt familiar to him, like he has seen it before. 

"You're giving me a pendant?" Sora asked as he looked up at his mom, who nodded at him while smiling

 "Yep, the thing's been collecting dust for a while now. So I thought I could give you this. You like it?" Said Serena as she noticed Sora was in a trance as his eyes began to glow blue. "Sora? Sora honey? Honey are you all right!?" 

 But Sora could hear nothing but a woman's voice, unlike his mother. "Filo..." Stopped as soon as Serena began to shake the Red Ranger, making him come back to reality. 

"Sora! Oh, thank God. Are you okay? Was that a Ranger thing? I swear, I'm going to—-".

"No, no no no no, I'm okay, Mom, honest! I just felt like I've seen this before... Just weird because I've never seen you wear this, even at police galas."

"Oh no, this is a very special item, kiddo. Way more special than just wearing some jewelry to a gala. Plus, I had to put it somewhere! When you were a baby, you always put it in your mouth." Said Serena as she chuckled while Sora blushed. 

"Oh, really?" He laughed sheepishly, while rubbing his head.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Serena asked with concern in her voice. "I could get you some medicine, right now!

"Oh no, I'm fine, Mom. I don't know what that was a second ago, but I'm fine."

"Really?" Said a worried Serena as Sora begins to hug her. 

 "I'm fine, really." Sora said as he felt his phone vibrating. He took it out to see the group message board, the gang asking if they were all going to the Juice Bar. "I have to go, everyone's waiting for me at the hangout spot."

 Serena smiles for a second. "It's okay, but change your clothes. I don't want you to ruin these nice school uniforms." 

 Sora laughed before saying. "Don't worry, I won't. Be back in a sec!" As the young boy went upstairs, Serena is left alone with her thoughts.

 "Maybe... Maybe it was too soon to give that to him."


U.A High School - Next Day

The next day at UA went...pretty normal all things considered. The day after the quirk test, UA was going on like normal school. They had classes, lunch, and everything else they would have at any other school, just with a little bit of a twist. The first half of the day was English taught by Present Mic, Modern Literature taught by Cementoss, Mathematics taught by Ectoplasm, and finally Modern Hero Art History taught by the R-rated Hero Midnight.

Then, the students would have lunch in the big cafeteria that had all the students from all courses and years eating in it. Lunch was served by the Pro Hero Lunch-Rush, which were both delicious, nutritious, and cheap.

And then the second half of the school day was what everyone was really waiting for. Hero course class. There were three of these classes in total. Hero and Quirk laws. Quirk history. And the big one, Hero basic training.

"So, who do you think is teaching this class?" Sero asked as he leaned back in his chair.

"No clue, but I'm so excited to finally get into the big hero stuff!" Kirishima said enthusiastically.

"We should still remain focused on the information of things!" Iida said while making vivid arm movements. "These next few classes will teach us all the requirements of being a hero and the skills needed to act on the field."

"So no pressure then..." Ayumi said, nodding as she shifted in her seat a bit.

"I am... Here!" All Might said, bursting into the room, several looks of awe appeared around the room as they looked at him. "Coming through the door like a hero!"

"Woah!" The class gasped in unison.

"That is not how a normal person comes through the door." Reina thought.

"All Might!?" Ayumi said in surprise.

"I can't believe it!" Kiba excitedly pounded his fists on the table.

Kirishima grinned, raising his fist. "So he is a teacher! This year is gonna be totally awesome!" He said.

"Hey look." Tsuyu said, pressing a finger against her chin as All Might walked into the room. "Is he wearing his Silver Age costume?"

"I'm getting goosebumps..." Ojiro commented with a smile. "It's so retro!"

"So All Might's our teacher for this class. Didn't see that coming." Sora thought, looking at the number one hero.

"Man, it is a nostalgia to see that costume." Cyrus thought.

All Might stood before the class, fists on his hips. "Welcome to the most important class at U.A. High! Think of it as hero-ing 101!" He said with a smile on his face. "Here, you will learn the basics of being a pro and what it means to fight in the name of good!" He flexed away from the class before spinning around. "Let's get into it! Today's lesson..." All Might pulled out a card that read 'BATTLE'. "Will pull no punches!"

"Fight training!" Bakugou thought with a terrifyingly excited expression on his face.

"Real combat...?" Midoriya thought nervously.

"But one of the keys of being a hero is..." All Might said, turning dramatically while pointing at the wall. Shelves were pushed outwards, each labeled with a different number. "Looking good! These were designed for you based on your quirk registration forms and the requests you sent in before school started!"

The class gasped, cheering as All Might laughed.

Midoriya smiled, determined. "Costumes!"

"Sir? I only counted 20 cases." Momo pointed out.

"That is true. And it's something I have been meaning to ask about." All Might said, looking in the Rangers' direction. "Young Ukashi, I've noticed that you, Hado, Fukukado, Mason and Suzuni did not submit anything for costumes. Is there a reason for this?"

"Well, we kinda already had ours made by someone." Sora said to the hero. "They're in our bags."

The other Rangers nodded in agreement.

Then some of the class starts to mutter to each other about the strange way Sora and his friends got their hero costumes.

"Are you guys sure? U.A. is known for making good costumes." Kirishima asked him.

"Yeah, don't worry about it, Red. We got this." Reina replied back.

"Alright then. If that's all, then get yourselves suited up." All Might instructed. "And meet me at Training Ground Beta!" He said before walking out the classroom.

"Yes, sir!" The class replied. As everyone grabbed their costumes and went to the changing rooms.


Alsatia's ship

"Battle trials, huh...?" Alsatia muttered as she, Scrozzle, and Ernesh all watched what the Rangers were doing from a viewing screen.

"It would appear that those humans are pairing up against each other to prove their worth to one another." Ernesh assumed with his arms crossed.

"Hmm...I see." The former said with the most interesting smile that no one has ever seen. "I think it's time that I show the Rangers and their little friends my kind of... having fun... Scrozzle!"

Said Inventor moved up from behind her. "Yes, Your Grace!" He spoke, bowing slightly.

“I want you to reanimate a monster and send it down into that school that the Rangers are inside.”

"Of course," Scrozzle nodded. " But, what kind of monster are you looking for, if you don't mind me asking?" 

 "The kind of monster that's sure to make things a little more... interesting for the Rangers and their little friends."

The dimension-hopping robot hummed at this in thought. “Interesting… Interesting is good. And I know just the monster!”


 

U.A. High School Ground Beta- Afternoon

All Might stood at the end of the gate, waiting for his students to arrive. Suddenly, dark silhouettes started walking towards him.

"They say that clothes make the pros, young ladies and gentlemen. And behold-you are the proof!" All Might said, as several parts of costumes were shown. "Take this to heart. From now on, you are all..." As all the students were walking in line. "...Heroes in training!"

Yuga Aoyama was wearing a bluish-black bodysuit, over which he wears a suit of metallic lavender and golden armor; a chest plate, two spherical shoulder pads, elbow-length vambraces, and knee-length boots. His chest plate has a high V-neck collar with a golden Greek fret-like trim, as with the lower diaphanous piece under the belt and the edges of the vambraces. It also comes with a long, glittery indigo cape as well as a belt with a golden ring-shaped buckle with a blue crystal, from which he emits his Quirk, matching the smaller ones over his shoulder pads and knees. He has straight angled golden lines running down his baggy pants, a matching set around the shafts of his boots, and he wears a red-tinted wing-shaped visor over his eyes.

Mina Ashido was wearing a plain white mask over her eyes, with a purple and turquoise skintight bodysuit with a camouflage pattern, ending just above her breasts Over this, she wears a cropped, sleeveless, tan-colored waistcoat with white fur along its collar, which she leaves unbuttoned. She wears custom-made plum violet and beige acid-proof boots with holes in the soles, allowing her to secrete acid from her feet to slide around.

Tsuyu Asui was wearing a bright green turtleneck bodysuit, tan-colored gloves with large buckles on each wrist guard, and two matching belts, one above her breasts, a strap at either side going around her shoulders, and one around her waist, little green dots embedded into it all the way around.

She wears a headband with a color matching that of her gloves and goggles with dark green-tinted lenses attached on either side.

Tenya Iida was wearing a black one-piece suit with a high collar, over which he wears various pieces of armor, all in a pale silver in color, including a chest plate, a metal collar around his neck and another around his upper arm, and metal vambraces that extend past his elbows pointed at the ends. He wears a helmet covering his entire face, its sharp bevor full of holes to allow him to speak and breathe easily, and its upper piece rounded over his head with two larger holes on either side, two curved horns just behind and a single spike sticking out of the back of his head. On his feet, he wears silver knee-high boots with gold accessories, which are specialized for his Quirk, and around his torso, he has three thick metal pipes, attached with a blue band, although these only serve as decoration.

Ochako Urakara was wearing a black full-bodysuit with a pale pink design down the middle of her torso, two black circles on her chest, and a black rectangle below her waist, running between her legs. There are two more pink patches over her shoulders, both cut off by darker pink armbands that match the thick choker around her neck. She has circular wrist guards, a dark pink handle on the back of each one, wide knee-high boots with magenta soles and a two-piece belt around her waist a circle embedded into the center where the pieces join up, a helmet with a tinted visor sometimes worn on her head, all of which are the same pale pink color.

Denki Kaminari was wearing a plain white shirt, over which he wore an open black jacket with a white lightning pattern across his back and matching pants with two lines running down his legs. He has a single, square-shaped earphone over his right ear, something resembling a radio antenna sticking out of the top.

Eijiro Kirishima was wearing two dark red gear-shaped shoulder pads. A jagged sash joins the one on his left to the right side of his belt, which has a red "R" set into its center. Below this, he wears baggy black pants and a half cape with a ripped hem. He also sports dark red boots and multiple thick rings going around his calves. He leaves his chest bare, and wears a wired guard around his face, reaching from just above his hairline to below his jaw, an extra piece going over the bridge of his nose, and some spiked pieces around his mouth which resemble little fangs.

Koji Koda was wearing a tight yellow suit, only reaching to his knees and elbows, with a large red marking over his torso and at the ends of his sleeves. On his chest, there's a symbol resembling an open mouth, and he wears yellow shoes with red lining.

Rikido Sato was wearing a yellow full-body suit, covering the entirety of his body, the only exceptions being the holes around his mouth, each of his eyes, and his hair. He wears white gloves and boots and a utility belt around his waist, small quantities of sugar stored inside its pouches.

Mezo Shoji was wearing tight blue tank tops, six white markings resembling eyes, connected at the top to a darker, more indigo-colored mask, its design the same as the one he usually wears. He has a belt with another, larger eye shape embedded into its center, this time yellow, below which he wears slightly baggy trousers to match his shirt, two darker lines running down the sides of his legs, and indigo boots.

He wears white boots, lined with yellow, and has white short bands around his waist and the sides of his thighs, a larger one across his chest to connect his shoulder pads, which are shaped like tape dispensers. He completes his outfit with a yellow helmet, shaped similarly to his shoulder pads, which has a large black visor obscuring his face.

Fumikage Tokoyami was wearing a dark purple where light hits it, that covers his entire body, only stopping halfway down his shins and knee-high black boots. During the Joint Training Arc, it was revealed that under this cape, he wears a dark t-shirt, wristbands, a pair of baggy pants, and a utility belt with a double pin buckle.

Shoto Todoroki was wearing a plain off-white shirt with matching pants and boots, with two gold-colored straps going over his shoulders. He has what appears to be a material resembling ice covering his whole left side, even his head, although it is detachable.

Katsuki Bakugo was wearing a tight, black, sleeveless tank top, with an orange "X" across the middle, forming a v-neck. There are two dots along the left line of his collar, indicating the support company that designed his costume. His costume also has a metallic neck brace worn with rectangular ends that have three holes on each side. His sleeves reach from within his large grenade-like gauntlets to his biceps. His belt, which also carries grenades, holds up his baggy pants with knee guards, below which he sports black, knee-high combat boots with orange soles and eyelets. His mask is jagged and black, and as it goes around his eyes, a large, orange-rimmed flare shape protrudes from each side.

Minoru Mineta was wearing a very simplistic outfit, consisting only of a purple shirt and mask with a yellow cape, boots, and gloves. His pants are white with a lighter purple trim, and they stick out quite a lot around his waist.

Momo Yaoyorozu was wearing a high-collared, zipped-up, sleeveless crimson leotard top with silver lines at her midriff and a pair of matching shorts with a gold utility belt around her waist. She also wore a pair of red fingerless gloves with elbow pads around her arms and a pair of knee pads on her knees.. She sported calf-length crimson boots with heels, which dip sharply down in the center. Last, she wore a high-collared, dark red cape around her shoulder which stopped at mid-thigh.

Before all the hero course students enrolled at U.A. High, they submitted their quirk registration forms, which included physical measurements and any desired costume designs to an exclusive clothing company designated by the school. Several sheets were pulled from the envelope, giving rough sketches and instructions for making the students' costumes. With all that info, they created state of the art costumes for their students.

"This is getting me all ramped up! You look so cool! Now!" All Might grinned. "Shall we get started? You bunch of newbies!" All Might yelled.

As everyone was getting prepared for the lesson, Izuku ran through the tunnels. He was wearing a light green full-body jumpsuit with a red belt, elbow pads, knee pads, and gloves, along with his signature red boots. He also wore a mask with long ear-like protrusions that resembles All Might's haircut, and a respirator with a makeshift smile on it that also reflects that of said hero.

"Hey Deku!" Ochaco complimented as she noticed him. "Wow, it's really just plain. Simple yet effective."

"Thanks, Urara-!" Izuku notices her costume and blushes. 'Is she wearing a bodysuit?! My heart can't take it!'

"Yeah, I should have been more specific with the design of my costume," Uraraka was embarrassed by her skintight bodysuit costume. "This design is not really my style."

It was then she realized that five people weren't among them. "Where are Ukashi, Hado, and Maso? Are they not done yet?" She asked.

Bakugo growled through gritted teeth. "Those damn extras. They better not keep me waiting."

"Maybe they're still changing...?" Tsuyu suggested, tapping her chin. "Fukukado and Suzuni were, anyway."

Tap, Tap, Tap

The sound of footsteps caught everyone's attention as they turned around to see five figures walk towards them. It turned out to be the Rangers all in their unmorped Hero uniforms.

(Like this.)

"Whoa!" Mina cried out in pure awe as she thought they looked really cool.

Toru gaped in awe. "So cool!"

"Wow, you guys look so awesome!" Ochaco exclaimed, walking up to the group with her hands clapped together.

"Now those are hero costumes!" Sero said, giving a thumbs up along with Shoji nodding in agreement.

"So cool! You all look like a hero team!" Kaminari said out loud as he wished his hero costume was that awesome.

"Yeah, like a manly hero team!" Kirishima said in agreement.

"No kidding!" Ojiro said as he looked at their new looks.

"Wow, amazing uniforms...!" Izuku said in awe as he came over to the Rangers.

'Rabbit?' Almost all of them thought as they compared the greenette to a bunny rabbit, mostly due to his ears.

"The hell...?" Reina muttered, in a low snicker.

Ayumi walked up to the boy, adopting a smile. "Hey Izuku! Nice suit, is your hero name supposed to be Bunny Man or something?"

Izuku was about to answer when he started blushing sheepishly. "N-no, n-not exactly."

"I know you guys were friends and all, but this really takes the cake." Jirou said as she walked up to them. "In a good way."

"Thanks, your costume definitely gives off a punk rock vibe." Reina commented, giving her a look over. "Which suits you."

"Yeah, it's not too flashy, but it still leaves an impression." Cyrus added.

Jirou immediately had a slight blush on her cheeks and looked away from the sudden compliments. "Oh, thanks."

As they were talking, the group noticed Momo, Ochaco, Tsuyu, Mina, Toru, and Tenya coming up to them.

"Hey, guys!" Ochaco shouted while running up to them. "Wow, your costumes look awesome!"

Before anymore could be said, Toru moved right next to Sora.

"Hey, Ukashi! What do you think of my costume?!" Toru asked, waving her glove around.

"It looks interesting... But is that it?" Sora asked the invisible girl.

"Yeah, since my quirk only lets my body be invisible, this is the only thing I can wear to make myself a little more noticeable." Toru explained to him.

"So does that mean you're..." Sora said before realizing what Toru meant then started to blush madly. "Oh, God! I didn't mean to look! I swear it wasn't on purpose!" He said while looking away.

Toru just slightly giggles at Sora's cute reaction. "It's fine Ukashi, I don't really mind. It's not like you can see me or anything." She said before blushing, even though it couldn't be seen. "Besides, I don't really mind if it's you."

Sora started to blush even more and rubbed his head. "Well... I-" He was cut short as Ayumi covers Sora's eyes and looks at Toru with a pout expression on her face as she drags him off. "A-Ayumi! What are you doing!?"

"Your hero costume looks impressive, Fukakado, ribbit." Tsuyu said to him.

"Thanks, Asui. Your costume is impressive as well." Reina said.

"I thought I told you to call me, Tsu." Tsuyu said, causing the female greenette to blink.

"Uh, right."

"I think you look great, Mason." Kiba then turned to Mina, seeing her walking to him. "You know my name, but you can call me Mina."

"Hey, Mina. It's great to see you again. Since we're going by first names, just call me Kiba." Kiba said back to her.

He noticed that her costume did look good on her and doesn't leave little to the imagination. She noticed this and made a sly smile.

"Like what you see~?" Mina asked in a sweet tone while pushing her cleavage closer to Kiba's face.

The blonde kept a calm smile on his face, despite the cleavage that is vividly displayed in front of him.

"Your outfit looks good on you, Mina. I like it." He said with a smile, keeping up his poker face.

Mina's cheeks grew slightly darker from Kiba's compliment. "Thanks, Kibi!" Mina said, smiling at the blonde.

"Had- I mean, Cyrus."

Hearing his name, the said boy gaze turned to Momo who was right next to him. "Yaoyorozu, is that your costume?" The bluenette asked, feeling himself blush upon seeing it.

"Yes, and sorry about that. It's kinda embarrassing wearing this. There's a reason for it though, I need my skin to be exposed so I can use my quirk to its fullest." Momo said being a little embarrassed.

"Makes sense, given the nature of your quirk." Cyrus said, understanding her power. "But, if it makes you feel better, you look great in that costume." He said with a little grin.

Hearing those words made Momo blush and grow warm inside again. "I see, thank you Cyrus." She said with a smile.

Mineta walked up to them and looked at all of the girls' costumes in a lustful way, especially Ayumi and Reina's as their outfits showed off their nice legs.

"I love this school." Mineta said, giving a thumbs up.

Reina responded by kicking him away, much to everyone's surprise.

"Eh hem," All Might covered his mouth and loudly coughed, immediately recapturing the attention that had been momentarily lost following the Rangers and Izuku's arrival. "Now that you are all present and ready, it is time for combat training!"

"Excuse me!" Iida said as he raised his hand. "This is the fake city from the entrance exams, will we be conducting urban battles again?"

"Not quite!" All Might answered as he held up two fingers. "I'm going to move you two steps ahead. Most of the villain fights you see on television take place outside. However, statistically speaking, encounters with the worst kind of villainy tend to happen indoors. Think about it for a second: backroom deals, home invasions, secret underground lairs. Truly intelligent criminals stay hidden in the shadows. And those types of villains are the most dangerous."

The Rangers couldn't help but agree with All Might. Only the most smart and dangerous villains stay out of sight. Hiding in the shadows and waiting for the perfect time to try out their plans.

"Isn't this a little advanced?" Tsuyu asked with her finger to her cheek. "I know I can't speak for the class, but I'm very much certain that the majority of us have never been in combat situations before that involve real people. In fact, the entrance exam was probably the first time we ever used our Quirks to fight."

"I am well aware of that, young Asui. However, I strongly believe that the best training is what you receive on the battlefield!" All Might grinned. "But remember, you can't just punch a robot this time. You're dealing with actual people now."

"Sir, will you be deciding who wins?" Momo asked with her hand raised.

"How much can we hurt the other team?" Bakugo asked, just wanting this to start already.

"Do we need to be worried about the losing team going home?" Ochaco asked with worry as she remembered the quirk test yesterday.

"Will you be splitting us up based on chance or comparative skill?" Iida asked with his hand raised.

“Isn't this cape trA'schic?" Aoyama asked while flashing his purple sparkly cape.

"I wasn't finished talking! I'll answer all of your questions! Now listen here." All Might said through half-clenched teeth. He then opened up a paper booklet.

'A script?' The Rangers thought in confusion.

"The situation is this! The villains have hidden a nuclear missile somewhere in their hideout. The heroes must try to foil their plans." All Might explained, reading the script. "The heroes either have to catch the evil doers or recover the weapon. Likewise, the villains succeed if they protect their payload or capture the heroes." He finished his explanation.

"Sounds like a classic action movie setup." Kiba commented.

"More like a video game." Sora said to him.

All Might held a box in front of his face. "Time's limited, and teams will be determined by drawing lots!"

"Isn't there a better way?" Iida questioned, somewhat surprised.

Izuku held up his finger and smiled. "Think about it! Pros often have to team up with heroes from other agencies on the spot. So maybe that's the reason we're seeing that here!" He explained to his friend.

Iida lowered his shoulders. "Yes, I see... Life is a series of random events." He bowed. "Excuse my rudeness!"

"No sweat! Let's draw!" All Might said laughing. 'Thank you, Young Midoriya.'

"But wait a minute, sir!" Toru said, raising her hand for a question. "How many people will be in teams? You never mentioned it yet."

"Of course! The teams will be 2 people on a team, but since there's a odd number of students here, one of the teams will add more people to it." All Might explained to them. "This is to help you prepare for haphazard team-ups in the future. Principal Nezu and the rest of the staff realized that teaching you heroes in training the benefits of working together. While it is true that some heroes work solo, more often then not, you'll have to learn to work with others to save lives and stop dangerous villains!"

'That's right. There are some villains out there you can't beat on your own and other situations where you'll have to help civilians in danger.' Sora thought in agreement.

"That makes sense. I mean, you can't do everything on your own." Sero said out loud.

Students exchanged glances at one another, some excited and nervous.

The Hero Force Rangers didn't see any problems with it. Forming new relationships with other classmates will help them out in the future, and strengthen their bond as Rangers.

"Now then..." All Might then turned to Sora and the others. "Young Sora Ukashi, Reina Fukakado, Cyrus Hado, Kiba Mason, and Ayumi Suzuni! Please step forward." He ordered them.

The Rangers blinked multiple times from this, and just did as All Might said. They walked up to All Might side by side as the others were staring at them.

"You five will be team A." He said to them. "Since the five of you are already a team, it's only fitting that you fight as one during the exercise as Team A."

"I get what Aizawa is doing. He wanted the five of them to show the other students the importance of teamwork." All Might thought as he was impressed by EraserHead's thinking. "Eraser, you clever sly dog."

This confused everyone there except for some. Izuku, Mina, Ochaco, Iida, & Jiro also knew what they were capable of back during the incident a year ago, and were a little worried to fight against them. They weren't the only ones, the other students already saw how strong the Rangers were, and didn't want to challenge them.

Momo was interested in seeing the team fight together as one, and how effective they will be.

Bakugo and Todoroki didn't seem pleased by this at all, and were the only ones who were not afraid to fight them. Mostly Bakugo because of his superior complex.

"The five of them are working together. Interesting... I have to be the one to fight them." Todoroki wanted to fight against the Rangers.

"Tch. Those extras were put on the same damn team." Bakugo thought in anger as the 'Extras' were working on the same team. "It doesn't matter if it's five or even a hundred of those extras! I'll crush all of them by myself, and show Deku and the Cheaters that their loser asses don't belong here!"

"You guys think Nezu did this on purpose?" Kiba asked his team.

"Yeah/Yup/Totally." They answered in unison.

"Alright, now everyone except for these five come to draw your lots." All Might said to the students.

One by one, each student grabbed a lot to see the team they were on.

Team A: Sora Ukashi, Reina Fukakado, Cyrus Hado, Kiba Mason and Ayumi Suzuni

Team B: Izuku Midoriya, Ochaco Uraraka

Team C: Mezo Shoji & Shoto Todoroki

Team D: Minrou Mineta & Momo Yaoyorozu

Team E: Katsuki Bakugo, Tenya Iida

Team F: Mina Ashido & Yuga Aoyama,

Team G: Rikido Sato & Koji Koda

Team H: Denki Kaminari & Kyoka Jiro

Team I: Tsuyu Asui & Fumikage Tokoyami.

Team J: Sero Hanta & Ejiro Kirishima

Team K: Mashirao Ojiro and Toru Hagakure

"Wow! look at that! We're partners!" Ochaco cheered as Izuku blushed from her getting so close to him.

'Oh my gosh!' Izuku freaked out mentally. 'I have to make a good impression on her!'

All Might then place both of his hands into two boxes. One white box with the word 'hero' on it and the black box with the word 'villain' on it. "I declare that the first teams to fight will be..." he pulled out two teams' letters on the balls. "...these guys!"

(Villains) Team E vs Team B (Heroes)

"...Oh no." Izuku gasped. That was him and Ochaco vs Iida and Bakugo. The latter saw it and knew the same thing.

"Team B will be the heroes. Team E will be the villains." All Might said. "Everyone else can head to the monitoring room to watch!"

The other students didn't notice, but Izuku began dripping beads of sweat out of his cowl that could match the weight of bowling balls. He cautiously turned his gaze, only to find that Bakugo caught him by surprise with a deathly glare. Izuku retreated by turning away, but Bakugo did not release his gaze on him.

Izuku was quaking, sent into a brief moment of panic. But he then tightened his fists, remembering why he was here, and who was supporting him. Showing resolve, Izuku straightened himself up and glared right back at Bakugo, which definitely surprised the explosive boy. After a moment, he narrowed his eyes, growling and gritting his teeth at Izuku.

Hell was about to break loose.

U.A High - Ground Gamma

"Right!" All Might spoke to the class. "The villain team will go in first! The true battle timer starts in five minutes, when the hero team sneaks in! The rest of the class will watch the match via CCTV in the monitor room!"

"Yes, sir!" The rest of the class chorused.

All Might then turned back to the first match participants. "Young Iida. Young Bakugou. You boys need to adopt a villain mindset! This is a practical experience, so remember! Give it your all and best! Remember, this is still a class! I will stop things if you take it too far."

All four nodded in understanding. And All Might flashed his signature smile and a thumbs up before turning back to the rest of the class. "Right then! Use your five minute prep time wisely! The rest of you, follow me to the monitor room!"

As he began to follow the rest of the class to the monitor room, Sora caught sight of Izuku as he stared back at Bakugou's glare, fists clenched.

It was obvious that the greenette was nervous to be in the sights of the bully, but he stood his ground nonetheless, keeping his gaze firmly locked on the red eyes of his opponent. Without a single word, it seemed like Izuku was issuing a challenge back at Bakugou. And that gave Sora some joy to see.

As he passed he by the boy, the Red Ranger nodded at him. "Good luck, Izuku. I'm rooting for ya."

Izuku met his eyes and gave Sora a thankful nod back. "T-Thank you, Ukashi! I won't let you down!"

Sora smiled and moved on to join the rest of the class, ignoring the heated daggers he felt on his back as Bakugou tried to glare a hole in the back of his head.

As he left the two rivals behind and followed into the main monitor room, Ayumi and the Rangers fell into step beside him.

"What was that all about?" Kiba wondered aloud while he looked back at the teams they left behind. "Had some last-minute advice for Seaweed?"

"I don't think I can tell him more about Bakugou than he already knows. Seems like they know each other REALLY well," Sora replied. "I just wished him luck."

"Are you sure about not giving him more advice?" Ayumi asked, looking back nervously to the two. "It looks like that jerk is ready to explode. And I don't want to think about how he fights with a quirk like THAT."

"I don't know. Something tells me it's not going to be that one-sided," Cyrus assured. "Well, we haven't seen how Midoriya fights yet. And..." He let the thought briefly linger as they fully entered the monitor room. "That's the first time I've seen Midoriya not be nervous around Bakugo."

"Looks like Green Bean's finally growing a pair." Reina smirked in delight.


U.A. Ground Beta: Monitor Room

With a name like "The Monitor Room," all the Rangers thought they knew what to expect. Maybe a small-scale room with a number of screens all on maybe security cameras around the area where the teams who were fighting could be displayed. Something simple like that.

But none of them expected what basically amounted to a theater room that could make some company computers look like tablets in comparison. Still didn't compare to the Command Chamber.

Walking into the room, the first thing to catch the attention of the Rangers and the class was a computer monitor that seemed like a large-scale TV or small-scale movie theater screen. It shined with HD quality as it proudly displayed the large-scale view of the building itself, highlighting the massive form of All Might in a highlighted hue of color and shadow.

Around the main module and glowing across the length of the walls were both mini and holographic screens, each displaying different access points of the building as well as close ups on both teams as they prepared themselves for the task at hand. At random intervals, each screen would flicker and shine, adapting the feed and switching angles to that of another close proximity or angle.

It honestly looked like something out of a spy movie. And Kiba was here for it.

"Wow!" He gaped in awe. "It's like one of those spy rooms from the movies!"

"Well," Reina commented as she looked around the room. "I don't think we need to worry about missing the action. In any way, shape or form."

"No doubt," Sora agreed. "I mean, I know UA has a lot, but this... this is like a war room!"

"It's definitely a lot," Cyrus agreed as he adjusted his glasses. "But it's expected. I imagine mock battles have to be monitored closely when it comes to UA. With such powerful quirks mixing with each other, it makes sense to keep a close eye on things."

"And how much property damage they can cause," Ayumi pointed out. "I mean, I can't think of any other reason why they're fighting in a fake building."

"Astute observations, youngsters!" All Might called out as he affixed the main monitor to the centerpoint of the structure. "These buildings have been specifically constructed for the purpose of monitoring the damage output for each of your Quirks! When you're a pro, you have to keep aware of your surroundings at all times! That way, you can always make the most effective strategic decision in the moment it matters most!"

"So we're even being graded on the destruction of the building?" Mina asked, disheartened. "Aw man. There goes all my multi-floored acidic moves."

"If it makes you feel any better, Ashido, I don't think Bakugou has a way to attack without damaging the building at all," Cyrus said. "So I don't think he'll be getting out of this with full points without switching plans."

"That is the purpose of this exercise! To see how each person adapts to circumstances beyond their preparations!" All Might said with glee. "I must admit, I am interested to see how Bakugo will go about this as well! Which is why we shouldn't waste another moment!" With the five minute timer passed, the pro hero reached down and pressed a small button next to the console mic. "Indoor anti-personnel battle training STARTS NOW!"


Soon afterward, the group sees Izuku and Ochaco enter through a window and observe their surroundings.

"And just like that, we're in." The latter silently commented.

"Careful." Izuku warned. "There are a lot of blind spots."

The two slowly walk down the hallway, checking every corner that was in their path. Izuku took point, always looking in every direction for any trace of a potential ambush or sealed off areas, anything that could clue him in on where to go or what to do. Ochaco checked their flank every time and stayed close, making sure to stay quiet. They were walking down a straight path until Izuku saw something and stopped.

Katsuki was in the air, right on top of them and he went on the offensive, launching an explosion towards the pair, but the greenette got Ochaco and himself out of the way, however, his hood was torn from the attack. The two landed on the ground away and Izuku got himself up.

"Uraraka, you okay?" He asked.

"I'm fine. Thanks." She responded, grateful for the save.

Both of them geared up for a fight, but Ochaco noticed the torn mask.

"Deku!" She worriedly said.

"It's just my mask." He said, keeping his eye on the smoke in front of him.

[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Runaway Battle]

The smoke cleared, and Bakugo waved off whatever smoke was covering his view. Looking down on the two.

"What's the matter, Deku?" He taunted. "Afraid to stand up and fight me?"

"I knew you'd come at me first." Izuku said, getting ready to face his opponent. "And figured you'd try to catch me by surprise."


Ground Beta: Monitor Room

The classmates each had their own things to say.

"He almost got the jump on him." Mineta commented.

"A sneak attack, Bakugo?" Kirishima questioned. "What kind of man pulls cheap crap like that?"

"It's a viable strategy." All Might pointed out. "He's playing the part. Acting like a true villain would."

"It didn't work." Mina responded. "Midoriya dodged him."

Cyrus couldn't help but say, "He was quick to react."

"Look. There he goes!" Denki said, directing everyone's attention to Bakugo charging towards Midoriya.


Back to the match

"I won't hurt you so bad that they have to stop the fight!" Katsuki exclaimed. "JUST CLOSE!"

[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST You Say Run]

Katsuki came in with a right hook reared up, but Izuku saw it before Bakugo got the chance to throw it out and managed to grab his attacker's arm, and throw the boy over his back making Katsuki land hard on his own back, flat onto the ground.

The others were surprised, but the Rangers were just happy that this self-centered bully was getting thrown to the ground by his former victim.

"Nice!" Sora cheered.

"Wow!" Ayumi said, "He was like a martial artist just now!"

"That was so cool!" Kiba said with a smile.

Reina had added, " WAY TO KICK HIS ASS, GREEN BEAN! "


Izuku panted and then spoke to Katsuki. "Kacchan, you always use a big right hook to start a fight. I know because I've watched you for years."

Katsuki got his head off the ground and looked back to Izuku as he explained.

"I analysed every amazing Hero, even you." Izuku continued. "I wanted to learn everything I could about them. It was all in the notebook you burned and threw away."

Katsuki looked even angrier than before.

"You can call me Deku, but I'm not the same helpless defenseless kid anymore!" Izuku exclaimed. "You hear me?! I've changed! From now on, Deku is the name of a hero!"

[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Darkness In Heart]

Katsuki then got up and turned towards his target, not paying any mind towards Ochaco at all.

"Deku." He growled, getting ready to let loose. "You're shaking in your boots, you're so scared." He let out a few small explosions, revving himself up for a fight he didn't think would happen. "And you want to fight me anyway. THAT'S WHY I HATE YOU!"


The two's fight then started as Bakugo used an explosion to propel himself and kick Izuku, but the mopped haired teen was quick to block with his arms. Izuku then tried to wrap Bakugo leg with the capture tape they were all given before the match started to completely take Bakugo out of the exercise, but the ash-blond used another explosion to punch Izuku which he ended up dodging.

Izuku noticed how Bakugo was changing up his moves, so when he saw the explosion quirk user prepare to attack again, he decided to be evasive and started to run away so he could think of a plan and then challenge Bakugo. Bakugo had years more experience in fighting, and with his quirk then Izuku did. He needed to prepare for a fight that could potentially wear him down, so he needed to play smart and think of something to give him an advantage.

As Bakugo ran around, blowing up any place Izuku could hide in, as well as using insults to try and lure him out, the other students watched everything going on with all 4 doing the exercise, but the main focus was certainly Izuku and Bakugo.

"That guy has some serious anger issues, kinda scary." Kaminari commented as everyone nodded in agreement.

"Geez..." Cyrus muttered as he watched wth narrowed eyes. "I've seen prideful people before, but this is something else entirely."

Izuku then took the time to take a knee at the corner of the wall and analyze the situation. Bakugo had completely forgotten about Ochaco. Plus, he probably went rouge as Tenya, due to his quirk, would have had an easier job catching them than Bakugo did. It was obvious to see that all the ash-blond cared about was decimating him.

As he heard more of Bakugo's shouts to come out and fight, Izuku took the chance to mentally take back everything he said about not competing with Bakugo the day he met All Might. He planned to match and surpass him someday. To be the next Number One Hero.

Just then, he got connected on his earpiece by Ochaco, who stated that Tenya caught her when she saw his...villainous side and that Iida was taking his time monologuing, truly embracing evil. But she also stated that the room they were in was on the floor right above them.

Standing up and pulling out the capture tape, Izuku soon felt a presence and looked behind him to see Bakugo at the other end of the hallway. He watched as Bakugo lifted one of his arms to show off his gauntlet and pointed at him at a pin popped out.

All Might's eyes widened in horror at something Bakugo said before he spoke up to Bakugo through the earpiece. "YOUNG BAKUGO! THAT'S TOO MUCH!" The Pro yelled. "YOU COULD KILL HIM WITH A BLAST LIKE THAT!"

"Wait, what!?"

However, Bakugo didn't listen as he looked at Izuku with the expression of psychopath... And then he completely pulled the pin off.

BOOOOMMM!

Just then, a monstrous explosion was created as the blast rushed at Izuku, completely tearing up the floor, walls, and ceiling, even shaking the entire building.

The observers couldn't believe what they had witnessed. The intensity of the attack and the way Bakugo was looking at Izuku, like he actually wanted to kill him. "He's completely insane!" Reina yelled after witnessing the events unfold.

"That's an understatement! He could have killed Izuku!" Ayumi yelled in agreement.

"That was nuts!" Kirishima commented as they all felt the shake the explosion caused.

"YOUNG MIDORIYA! COME IN!" All Might yelled into the mike, fearing the condition the boy was possibly in right now.

Sora could see on one of the cameras that Izuku was flat on his back, on the ground, next to the hole where the attack went through. He looked like he had just gone through hell, but he was still alive. Then, Izuku pulled his head up.

"Look. On that cam." Sora pointed to the screen. "He's still alive."

At that moment, Bakugo appeared through the dust with a villainous expression towards Izuku.

"Man, he's like a shark that just smelt blood." Kiba muttered.

"It might be worse." Cyrus interjected. "Based on the size of the gauntlets, I think they were meant to make his Quirk more powerful than before. Meaning if he wanted to, he'll bring the whole building down."

"Are you serious!?" Kirishima exclaimed, then turned to All Might. "Sir, this is getting out of hand! Bakugo is going crazy! He's going to kill him!"

"Not so." All Might said, remembering what Bakugo said to him over the radio, but he was still worried. "Bakugo! Use that stored up power again, and I'll stop the fight. Your team will lose. To employ such a strong attack indoors is inviting the destruction of the stronghold you should be protecting. That's a poor strategy, whether you're a hero or a villain. The penalty would be a massive loss of points!" All Might shouted into the radio that Bakugo had in his ear.

As Izuku moved towards the window, Bakugo switched to hand-to-hand combat and used his quirk to get behind Izuku, hitting him. "He doesn't appear to come off as a guy with a strategy. But he's actually quite intelligent." Shoto observed.

"What're you talking about?" Ayumi asked.

"He changed his trajectory while in midair, using a blast that doubled as a smokescreen. Very clever." Shoto explained.

"A feint attack like that requires an extreme amount of precision. He had to calculate the physics and demonstrate control over his Quirk." Momo added.

"Ugh, that Bakugo is uber talented. I hate it." Kaminari sighed.

"This is too hard to watch! All he has to do is wrap tape around him, not kill him!" Mina exclaimed.

"Bakugo is certainly acting like a villain." Tokoyami added.

"I thought Midoriya was pretty amazing at the start of the fight, but he's clearly outmatched in terms of combat power. Not to mention, Bakugo seems like a natural at all this stuff." Ojiro pointed out.

"Yet, Izuku's still standing." Sora pointed out.

"Your point being?" Shoto replied.

"Until he either can't stand up anymore or uses his quirk to end the fight in one blow, the battle isn't over." Sora said. "Izuku is a thinker. That's how he's been able to deal with someone like Bakugo for almost ten minutes. If he plays his cards right, then this battle will be his win."

This explanation perplexed everyone there. Even Momo, Shoto, and All Might were curious as to how Sora had that much confidence in Izuku's abilities, in spite of what is happening right now 

But then, the match finally came to its conclusion. Izuku finally used his quirk as both his fists and Bakugo's fists collided, blowing a massive hole through the roof, while Ochaco was able to touch the weapon, ending the match, but not without cost. The backlash of using his quirk broke Izuku's arm.

"The hero team... WINS!" All Might declared.

Ayumi practically gasped as she regained a bit of air. "Whew! Talk about nerve-wracking. I thought that Bakugo was going to do a lot worse to him."

"What a weird way for this to end," Kiba whispered to his friends, the rest of the students gasping and adding their own two cents to what came through on the monitors.

"No kidding..." Cyrus agreed as he could only look at the devastation on the video monitor, both Uraraka and Izuku on the ground, and Tenya and Katsuki unscathed.

"They lost the battle, but they won the war, huh?" Reina said.

"Yeah, though, was it worth it?" Sora's eye narrowed as All Might headed over to Bakugo's location in the wrecked building.


A few minutes passed with everyone, sans Izuku, back in the monitoring room to review the first trial. While one might have expected the MVP of the battle to come from the victors, the award actually went to Iida, drawing audible gasps from most of the students and an incredulous look from Iida.

Everyone was surprised, except for Momo and Shoto, as usual.

"Shouldn't it be one of the heroes instead, since they're the winners?" Tsuyu questioned

[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Among Kosei]

"Hmm. Valid question." All Might remarked. "Why didn't I choose one of those two? Who has a guess?"

"Sir, I can tell you why." Momo spoke up. "Iida embraced this challenge. He was the only one who truly adapted to his assigned role. I'll explain. Bakugo's judgment was clouded by a personal grudge against Midoriya. As you pointed out earlier, launching a large-scale attack indoors was a foolish move. It could have been disastrous. Similarly, Midoriya's plan was also poorly thought out, considering the amount of damage he received. He rendered himself helpless. Not smart. As for Uraraka, she let her guard down mid battle, and her final attack was far too reckless considering the hypothetical stakes. If she treated the fake weapon as though it were real, she never would have risked using such an imprecise move. Iida was fully prepared for his opponent's arrival. He had a strategy and never lost sight of his mission to protect the dummy weapon. Even if he was foiled in the end."

The Rangers noticed how Iida's shame from losing quickly ended up turning into bliss from the very, very long explanation that Momo gave, detailing why Iida was the best out of the 4. They also noticed how All Might seemed a bit surprised at how detailed she was about the entire thing.

Momo had soon concluded by saying, "In any case, the Hero team only won because they took advantage of the fact that this was a training exercise. They were practically breaking the rules." Everyone looked at Momo, surprised by what she had just explained, even All Might and the Rangers, who had looked at her with wide eyes.

"Okay..." Kiba said, "Now I've heard everything!"

"Yeah..." Ayumi agreed, as she was nearly speechless.

"Yes, well... you overlooked a few things." All Might interjected. "Young Iida could have relaxed a little bit in the exercise. But, otherwise, you nailed it."

"One should always start with the basics and devote themselves wholeheartedly to learning. That's the only real way to become a top hero," Yaoyorozu stated.

Cyrus could only stare at her in amazement. Momo may have been stating everything that happened correctly in a professional manner, but she also basically complimented him. Then again, she was one of the students to be admitted to the Hero Course based on recommendations. So, of course, she'd be amazing.

'I think I'm in love...' Cyrus thought, with a bright blush. 'Wait, SHUT UP! What am I saying!? I just met her!'

"She does have a good eye on her," Sora said, with Reina nodding in turn.

"Yeah. She made it sound so sophisticated yet extremely simple to follow along," Reina whispered, impressed by the analysis. She assumed that this girl had to have gotten into UA on a recommendation.

"Now then. It's time to blow this joint." All Might said, having the same hero and villain boxes from before in front of him. "Let's move on to the next match! Think about everything we saw and discussed as you tackle his training for yourself."

"Yes, sir!" Everyone nodded with the exception of Bakugo.


Despite Izuku's injuries, the rest of the matches proceed normally, with Iida being the MVP of the first match for showing the embodiment of evil, while Shoto showed that he was just as powerful as Bakugo when it came to using his ice, but the rangers noticed that he never once used his left side.

But that didn't stop them from laughing when Aoyama's cape was burnt by Mina's acid and when Kaminari shocked himself silly.

It was at that moment Mina spoke up. "Hey, wait. How come Kiba and the others haven't had a turn yet?"

Ojiro nodded at this. "Yeah. I noticed that, too."

"That's quite simple. For their training, the Power Rangers' match will be a little different as they'll be using the latest simulation technology that Power Loader had whipped up for them." All Might explained with his hands on his hips.

This took the whole class by surprise as they looked at the Rangers, who were just as surprised as them.

"WOW! Really, that sounds so manly, " said Kirishima as he had stars in his eyes. While Shoto started to glance at them, thinking about how powerful they really are that they couldn't face their classmates. 

 "All Might, sir! If I might add, why is the Rangers' match different from ours?" Tenya questioned upon raising his hand.

"Well, young Iida! As you all know, despite their vigilante actions, the Rangers have shown great promise in working together and saving citizens in the process. Think of this as an extra lesson in showing the importance of teamwork!"

"Anyone else thinking Nezu and Mr. Aizawa had a hand in this?" Reina asked her team.

"Yep." The others replied in unison.

"Now then! Power Rangers, please make your way to Ground Beta, and we can begin your combat training." All Might instructed.

"You got it, big guy." Sora said as the team walked out of the room. After that, the rest of the class began to speak amongst themselves.

"I wonder what kind of training those guys are going to do?" Sato asked, placing his hand under his chin.

"Whatever it is, I'm sure they'll ace it!" Mina said. "I mean, Ukashi did beat Mr. Aizawa and the rest of his team are as strong as him."

"Not to mention, they were the Top 5 in the entrance exam, and the quirk test was proof enough of how strong they are." Uraraka with a smile.

"Yeah, the Power Rangers got this one in the bag," Kirishima said with a smile.

"That may be true, but we have no idea what they'll be facing," Tenya stated to the class.

All Might listened to the students' debate on what the Rangers would be doing. He, Nezu, the teachers, and the Big 3 were the only ones who knew the truth about the Hero Force Rangers' abilities in U.A. He'll admit their powers were impressive, but he knew that in a fight, anything can happen, and even the most skilled opponents can fall if they're not prepared for it.

"Alright, students, now watch and analyze their strategies." All Might instructed them, he then proceeded to put on a device to communicate with the participants of the match as well as hearing them. 'Power Rangers. Here, you all are no more than students. Like Young Midoriya, I'll grade you strictly without playing favorites. So do your best, and go beyond!' He said mentally as he and the rest of the students present stared at the monitors, turning their attention to the screen.


U.A High - Ground Beta

Entering the training ground, the rangers were heading towards the destined bulding as All Might's voice came over the loudspeakers. "Alright, Rangers! It's time to begin your first combat training. Your goal for your training is the same as before: locate and secure the villains' nuclear weapon within the time limit. While they might be holograms, your enemies will try and prevent you from succeeding. So we based them off of the creatures that you've faced before. However, heroes must never let their guard down, no matter what foe they are fighting!" All Might explained.

"Batzlers, huh?" Kiba shrugged, cracking his knuckles and stretching his neck. "Well, at least we don't have to worry about any surprise attacks this time." He joked.

"Or having them attack people." Ayumi added.

"Look alive, guys, here they come!" Cyrus said as numerous digitalized versions of the Batlzers appeared in front of the team, armed and ready.

"So they got us a welcome party, huh?" Sora smirked as he looked ahead at the building they were supposed to get to. "Well, if I had to guess, the weapon is inside, so the only path forward..." he began.

"Is to go straight through." Reina finished as she rolled her arms. 

"Exactly. So, let's not waste any time and get this done!" Sora delcared, clenching his fist.

The Rangers all charged back at the Batzlers and began to fight them. Ayumi dodged as one tried to slash her with its claw, then she got behind it and kicked it in the back, while Kiba blocked ones kick with his forearm, then punched it in the chest. Cyrus ducked as a third tried to slice her with its sword, then he spun around and tackled it, while Reina rolled forward to dodge a fourth's claw, then she got up and grabbed its arm, then flipped it onto its back. Sora ducked as a fifth tried to slice him, then he elbowed it in the chest, then got behind it and punched it in the chest.


With Sora  

Sora blocked a punch from one with his forearm, then he kicked it in the chest, then spun around and tackled another two. He then dodged as one tried to kick him, then blocked a third's kick with his hand before he spun around to dodge a stab from the second. He then kicked the third in the chest, knocking it down, then he grabbed the second's forearm as it tried to slash him, then he pulled its arm down, flipping it onto its back. He then turned as a fourth came at him, then he did three backward handsprings away from it as it tried to stab him, then he kicked its claw away, then spun around and tackled it.

Sora then cupped his hands to his side as a red hot ball of fire ignited to life into his palms. "Roar of Flames!" He yelled as he launched a ball of fire from his hands, incinerating all foes in his way.


With Reina

Reina ducked and rolled past one as it tried to slash her with its claw, then she kneed it in the chest, and then she chopped it in the back, knocking it down. She then sent a kick at another, but missed as it ducked, then she backed away as it tried to slash her, then she grabbed its forearm, then pulled on it, flipping it onto its back. She then did two backwards handsprings to dodge a third's claw as it tried to stab her, she then back flipped away to dodge a fourth as it tried to slash her, then she jumped and split kicked them both, knocking them down.

The greenette soon encased her arms in rock-like gauntlets. "Earth Impact!" She exclaimed before slamming her fist into the road, unleashes a powerful earthquake that launched her opponents in every direction.


With Cyrus

Cyrus dodged and spun around as one tried to slash him, then he elbowed it in the back, then spun around and tackled it. He then turned and kicked another in the side as it came at him, then he punched it in the belly, making it fall to its knees, then he elbowed it in the back, knocking it down. He then spun around past a third as it tried to stab him, and then he kicked it in the back, knocking it onto its chest. 

Water surged around the boy's hands. "Pulse of the Stream!" Cyrus shouted as he thrusted his hands forward, a burst of water out of them, hitting the holograms, washing them away.


With Kiba

Kiba dodged as one tried to slash him with its claw, then he grabbed its arm, then elbowed it in the chest while smacking the claw away, then he kicked it in the chest, knocking it down. He then blocked another's claw with it, then turned and blocked a third's with it, then punching it in the chest, then turned and slapped the second across the face. He then kicked a fourth in the chest, then he spun around and tackled it, knocking it down, then he rolled past a fifth as he tried to slash him, before he double kicked it in the back while getting up, knocking it down.

Gold bolts of electricity quickly danced around her fingers. "Cry of Lightning!" The Yellow Ranger fired a blast of lightning from his hands, engulfing the holograms in electrical power, causing them to explode into pieces.


With Ayumi

Ayumi dodged as one tried to slash her in the chest, then she spun around and kicked it in the back, knocking it down. She then kicked another's claw away as it tried to stab her, and then she kicked it in the chest, knocking it onto another two, causing them to fall down. She then ducked as a third tried to stab her, then she punched it in the belly, knocking it back, then the she kicked it in the chest, sending it flying away into a wall, knocking it out cold.

She then channeled energy into her hands, as pink currents swirled around them. "Fluttering of Storm!" She exclaimed as she fired a blast of wind from her hands, engulfing the Batzlers into a powerful whirlwind and sending them flying.


U.A. Ground Beta: Monitor Room

Meanwhile, everyone watched the Power Rangers completely demolish the "Villains" in both power and skill.

"What the hell..." Kaminari muttered in disbelief.

"Holy crap!" Sato exclaimed in pure shock. "They can control elements!?"

"Look at them, go! It's like watching a Kung Fu movie!" Ochaco said started to imitate the Rangers' moves.

"Heck yeah, it's awesome!" Kirishima said, too.

"They can't even touch them." Toru said as she saw the Rangers avoiding all the hologram attacks like it was nothing.

"Damn, the Rangers' quirks are broken. The holograms can't even land a single hit on them!" Sero commented.

"They're monsters..." Mineta muttered,  shaking in fear.

"If you think that their strength is the result of quirks, that's incorrect. The Rangers first started their hellish training a year ago to improve each of their physical strength as their strength went to a whole new level. They learned different types of fighting styles since none of them have a quirk. They all learned different fighting styles, as well as how to use weapons. What you see now is the result of their strengths and skills." All Might explained.

"True, you can't judge them based on their power alone, as their skill and experience is what helping them here again their adversaries." Momo wisely said to the class.

Upon hearing this, the whole class of 1-A was amazed at the Rangers' achievements. Their respect for their classmates only grew more and more.

"Don't worry, they're doing fine, and when they transform, then it's a game over!" Toru stated.

"If they can transform," Tenya said, pushing up his glass. "Those cretins probably wouldn't give them a chance to do so."

"I agree, We have already seen firsthand what Ukashi can do when he changes into his costume," Shoji said, making a mouth with his quirk. "Imagined what would happen if they all transformed. The holograms won't even stand a chance, even if they are outnumbered."


U.A High - Ground Beta

Back to the fight in the battle center, the fake Batlzers was getting their tails handed to them as the Power Rangers had the upper hand in this fight.

That's when Ayumi turned and saw more Batzlers coming into the fray. "Guys, we've got more baddies!"

The Rangers all regrouped for the second wave of enemies. Sora was in the middle with Reina on his left. (Kiba as on Reina's left) Ayumi was on Sora's right. (Cyrusn Ayumi's right)

"Seriously?" Reina sighed exasperately.  'It's getting a bit boring fighting like this."

Sora nodded in agreement. "Yeah, so let's spice things up a bit," He said, holding up his morpher. "Ready?"

"Ready!" the other rangers confirmed, holding up their own morphers.


U.A Monitor Room

Everyone who witnessed the Rangers bringing out their Morphers knew what was coming as they were excited to see what would happen next.

"Guys, heads up, their going to change into those costumes!" Mima cheered with glee. 

"And they'll get even stronger now," Momo said in an interested voice.

Todoroki didn't say anything as he wanted to see the Rangers at their best.

Bakugo, who was silent the entire time, kept his eyes glued on the screen. 


U.A High - Ground Beta

"Ready?!" Sora asked his teammates.

"Ready!" They shouted back at him.

"It's Morphin Time!" They all shouted together as they activated their Morphers.

 The team, in unison, pressed the red Morph button on their morphers, causing them to start glowing red, black, blue, yellow, and pink. They then thrusted their left arms out together. "Call of the Hero!" The team shouted in unison as they pulled their left arms back and used their right hands to spin the Morphers' top half at the same time.


(Morph sequence)

The screen split into five, Ayumi in the top left, Cyrus in the top right, Kiba in the bottom left, Reina in the bottom right, and Sora in the middle. The backgrounds change to their respective element terrain as their Zords appeared in front of the Rangers. They all flew forward with ease, emerging with their Zords, creating their Ranger suits around them from neck to feet. They all somersault through the air before landing in their positions, and then their helmets appear on them. Then, they do their poses as their elements burst behind them.

(End morph sequence)


Sora clenched his fist and spun around before stopping, "Champion of the Skies! Hero Force Red!" He shouted while doing a pose, surrounded by a red hot blaze of fire. 

Reina clenched her fist and spun around before stopping, "Champion of the Earth! Hero Force Black!" She shouted while doing a pose, surrounded by several rock formations. 

Cyrus clenched his fist and spun around before stopping, "Champion the Seas, Hero Force Blue!" He shouted while doing a pose, surrounded by waves of water. 

Kiba clenched his fist and spun around before stopping, "Champion of the Savanna, Hero Force Yellow!" He shouted while doing a pose, surrounded by golden thunder. 

Ayumi clenched her fist and spun around before stopping, "Champion of the Forests, Hero Force Pink!" She shouted while doing a pose, surrounded by currents of air. 

"Til the Age of Heroes end, Rangers Defend!" The five of them shouted together in sync for everyone to hear while getting into new poses with their team symbol shining above them. "Power Rangers Hero Force!" The Hero Force Rangers shouted before a giant explosion occurs behind them, further increasing their awesomeness.

To Be Continued...

U.A High School Montior Room

In the monitor room, the students and All Might watched this and were completely amazed with what the Hero Force Rangers did as they announced themselves in front of everyone like that. Even though they have already seen Sora change, they still couldn't help but be amazed.

 "That. Was. AWESOME!" Mina, Toru,and Uraraka all cried out in excitement together in sync.

 "MANLY!" Kirishima exclaimed as he pounded his fists together in excitement. 

 "What a spectacular roll call," Momo said, clapping her hands together with sparkling eyes and a small blush on her cheeks as she couldn't help but stare at Cyrus in his Ranger uniform. 'And I never knew that Cyrus looked so...'

 "Amazing! Truly amazing! This is heroism at its finest!" Tenya said while clapping his hands quickly. 

 "Okay, now that was badass!" Sero said with a big smile.

"And did you see that explosion at the end? So freakin cool." Kaminari said with a smile.

"That was dazzling performance, but not as dazzling as me of case." Aoyama said.

"The Power Rangers, really do know how to put on a show," Tsuyu said with a blank expression but was still impressed with the roll call.

"Indeed. Makes you think what else they can do." Ojiro said.

"They're all wearing similar costumes, but different colors." Shoji pointed out to everyone.

"I can't wait to see what they can do in those new forms!" Sato said in anticipation.

"Same here." Tokoyami said with a nod.


U.A High - Ground Beta

After morphing, the Hero Rangers faced their foes once again as the holograms snarled at them.

"Time for Phase 2 of the plan." Sora said, as the Rangers got ready to fight.

"Did we plan a phase 2?" Ayumi asked, tilting her head in confusion.

"Let me guess; phase 2 is laying the ass-whooping and looking good doing it?" Reina guessed.

"Exactly." Sora said, pointing at her.

"I can get behind the plan." Cyrus nodded with a shrug.

"Me too!" Kiba grinned behind his helmet.

They all brought out their Hero Weapons in digitalized bursts of light. "Let's clear a path!" Sora shouted before the team all ran forward.

Aymui whacked one's chest with the Sky Bowgun, followed by another, before she turned around, then backed away, before shooting a third down with it.

Reina charged and sent a slash at two with her Terra Axe, but missed as they dodged while she ran past them, then turned slightly as one grabbed the end of it. She ducked and moved back as it tried to punch her, before she slashed it up the chest.

Kiba ducked as one tried to punch him, before he stabbed its chest with his Savanna Claws, knocking it back, then he turned and slashed another down the chest with it.

Cyrus tried to stab one with his Sea Lance as it charged at him, but missed as it ran past him, then he spun around and turned, then stabbed another's chest.

Sora slashed one down the chest with his Pyro Saber, then turned and ran off to dodge another, before he rammed another into a lampost with his sword.


With Sora

The Red Ranger charged forward as several Batzlers tried to slash him from behind, before he slashed one across the chest, knocking it down. He ran forward slightly, then slashed another Batzler down the chest, turned spun around and slashed a second, then knocked up another another's claw, before slashing it down the chest. He then knocked up three more claws, knocking them down, before he spun around and slashed two more Batzlers across the chest, knocking them down. He rested his sword on his shoulder, before he turned as a hologram tried to slash him with its claw, but he blocked it with his sword.

"...Really?" he snorted, grabbing its forearm.

He jumped backwards as he let go, diving past several as it rolled along the ground, then he landed near some more and kicked a Batzler. He turned and slashed a third down the chest, then he ran forward and jumped, kicking a fourth in the chest as he dived past it, knocking it down onto another. He turned around and kicked two more grunts in the arm, knocking them down before he landed, then he slashed another and another across the chest.


With Reina

The Black Ranger dove forward, bringing down her axe and cleaving a hologram in two, before kicking a second's arm, then blocked a third's with her axe, before a bunch of them pounced on her, making the girl duck.

She got up and waved her axe around, making them back away, while hitting six of them, knocking them all down. She kicked one's chest, then turned and slashed another, then whacked another with the flat end. She then hit a third slightly with it, but it grabbed her axe, but then she raised it up and threw it away, making it land on many more, knocking them all down. She jumped and spun around, kicking one's arm and knocking it down.

"Come get some!" Reina shouted, raising her axe above her head and slammed it on the ground in front of a group of Batzlers. The axe sent out a wide and powerful shockwave and destroyed every hologram around her.


With Cyrus

The Blue Ranger twirled around his lance a few times, before posing with his weapon facing the enemy "Come on!"

He then jumped forward in the air, straight towards the holograms. He smacked aside two of them, then slashed both in half with the blade of the lance and uses the momentum to spin over to 3 more holograms, cutting them all down in one strike. One leapt at him to attack, but the bluenette spun his lance then slams it to the ground and uses it to pull himself up in the air with his left hand. He then delivers a powerful right kick to the Batzler, creating a burst of water that sent it back, knocking into 5 more holograms and destroying them all in a explosion.

He soon jumped back, digging the lance into the ground again when he sees more holograms charging at him. One almost smacked him with its hand, but he then spun around on top of his lance and kicks the first approaching hologram in the face.


With Kiba

The Yellow Ranger held up his claws, as the holograms all charged at him. "Let' get er done!" he smirked, charging in himself.

He blocked a kick from one with his right claw, then backed away as it tried to punch him, then blocked another by crossing his forearms over. Another came up behind him, which he slashed slightly with his right claw, then slashed the first with it, before he ran towards some more.

"Coming through!" he said.

He ducked and ran past a Batzler as it tried to slash him, then did the same with another, before he grabbed a third while crouched down and spun around, pulling it with him. He then slashed its chest with his left and right claws, then stabbed another two as they came towards hm from either side, then he pulled the claws out and crossed his forearms over.

"Man, I'm good." He remarked.


With Ayumi

"Here we go!" She called out as she flew up with her power of Wind and fired her blaster, diving backwards as the blasts hit the ground, making sparks come up from it, which knocked three Batzlers down.

"Hyah!" She yelled.

Ayumi jumped up and kicked her feet against a fence nearby, then dove down while firing her Sky Bowgun, hitting the ground near dozens of holograms, knocking them down as sparks came up from it. She kicked her foot against one's shoulder, then dove away, flipping forwards, before she landed on her feet, surrounded by more of them.

"Sky Bowgun: Scatter Shot!" She said, aiming her weapon upwards and fired it, which divided into six blasts, which then shot down and hit a hologram, destroying them all.

"Okay, I know that the Rangers are strong and all, but this is just crazy," Sero said as everyone in the room agreed.

They watched the Rangers deflect attacks and fly in the sky while shooting down mutliple enemies. They couldn't believe that the Rangers were the same age as them and were this good.

"I know, right? This isn't even a fight anymore." Sato said.

"Yeah! I mean, just look at Fukukado and Suzuni go!" Ochaco chirped in, pointing at the two girls. "They're so cool!"

"No joke." Jiro commented, in awe by the girls' actions.

"They're the same age as us, and they're this good," Kaminari said in a scared tone.

"But how are they this strong?" Ojiro asked in curiosity.

"It has to be those costumes they are wearing," Shoji said getting everyone's attention. "Their power, speed, and combat abilities increase the moment they put those suits on."

"Not to mention those advanced weapons they have." Tokoyami pointed out.

"It's completely unfair if you ask me! How come they can use all that stuff anyway?!" Mineta complained.

"You can thank Principal Nezu for that." All Might said, getting everyone's attention. "The Rangers already had permission to use their tech for anything hero-related. Plus, there will plenty of villains out there who rely on weapons more than their quirk. This will be a good experience for you all to learn from this match." 

"Damn, Kiba's ass looks good in spandex." Mina said smiling with a bit of a blush.

"Mina! Stop being such a perv." Toru scolded the girl.

"Yes, quit those sinful thought at once!" Momo said with her own blush.

"What? I can't help liking what I see. Besides, I know you both have been checking out Ukashi's and Cyrus too." Mina said back with a grin.

This made both girls' faces blush more, even though they couldn't see they couldn't see Toru's face. They wouldn't be the only ones as all the other girls in the room also looked and had the same thoughts with blushes of their own.

Momo cleared her throat and turned away. "I have no comment for that."

"Well maybe..." Toru said in a hesitant voice.

"Personally, all three boys look good in spandex." Tsuyu said with a blush across his face.

"P-Please doesn't speak about them in such a dirty way," Ochaco said, embarrassment clear on her face.

"Damn you, Ukashi, Hado, and Mason. Getting all the chicks' attention." Mineta said crying tears of envy.

"ASHIDO! DO NOT SPEAK OF OUR CLASSMATES IN SUCH A WAY!" Tenya exclaimed while doing his hand chop motion.

"Kid these days sure are bold." All Might muttered with a heated face.


U.A High School - Ground Beta

Upon regrouping once more, Sora looked at his friends/teammates.

"Alright guys, let's end this with a bang!" Sora declared out loud.

"Right!"

"WEAPONS COMBINE!"

The five weapons flew into the air and as they began to combine together into one super weapon. The Sky Bowgun was faced horizontally as the Savanna Claws launched and connected onto both sides of the Bowgun, facing forward, acting as additional barrels to the cannon. The Sea Lance then connected to the front of the Crossbow's, similar to an arrow. Finally, the Pyro Sword was locked in on top of the cannon, similar to where an arrow would be placed in a crossbow as the Terra Axe connected to the front of the bowgun's handle, with the bottom half facing forward.

"Justice Striker!" They shouted before Sora aimed it at the holographic villains, as Reina and Kiba crouched down and held up the end of it, as Cyrus and Ayumi touched Sora's shoulders to hold him in place.


U.A. High School Ground Beta Monitor Room

Seeing this, took the whole class back by surprise again.

"Wow!" Ochaco said in awe by the attack.

"Holy crap! Did they really combine their weapons!?" Kaminari exclaimed.

"No way!" Mostly everyone in the room cried out in shock.


U.A High School - Ground Beta

"Ready!" Kiba and Reina shouted together.

"Aim!" Ayumi and Cyrus shouted together.

"Fire!" Sora shouted, before the Red Ranger pulled the trigger.

The Justice Striker immediately sent out a powerful, rainbow-colored laser beam at the remaining holograms dead on, which caused them to start sparking.

The Rangers all took their weapons and turned around, as an explosion went off behind them all.

"Come on, let's get inside!" Sora told them before he led the team into the building.


U.A. High School Ground Beta Monitor Room

"That was awesome!" Sero said in excitement at how the Rangers finished the fight.

"They were so magnifique!" Aoyama commented, happy to have found a sparkling buddy.

"The Rangers really did it." Toru said with a grin. "Fukukado and Sunzuni definitely showed their girl power"

"THEY WON! THEY WON! THEY WON!" Mina and Ochaco both said together as they were hopping up and down while holding hands.

"Holy crap! That was awesome! So freakin manly!" Kirishima yelled, unable to get over the fight.

"I know! Those holograms were totally destroyed by the hero team!" Sato agreed, punching the air.

"Especially with the way they somehow combined their weapons," Tsuyu said with a finger on her cheek.

"That final attack of theirs was freakin metal." Jirou said with an exciting tone, even though she had already seen it in the Entrance Exam.

"Yeah, I don't think I've ever seen such a powerful blast before," Momo said with a smile.

Todoroki merely narrowed his eyes at the screen. 'I can't proceed forward if they're in the way, but they might be the key to releasing me from that bastard, especially Ukashi.' He thought. 'In my eyes, he's currently the strongest. If I can beat the strongest, then that bastard would see that I don't need to use his Quirk.'

And it was clear to Bakugo as well, who could only look at what he was seeing in shock. The truth would finally settle in for him. He claimed to be the strongest, but just watching the Power Rangers in action, he realized he couldn't beat any of them in a head-to-head fight. "Damn it..."

"I wouldn't celebrate just yet. Remember that even though the Rangers defeated their foes, they still have to find and capture the weapon in order to complete their mission." All Might reminded the students as they ceased their celebration. 

As soon as the Rangers started to head into the building that was containing the weapon, the monitors suddenly began to distort and only show static, which caught the students and All Might off-guard.

"What the...?" All Might uttered in confusion as he started pressing buttons to fix it to no avail.


U.A High School - Ground Beta

The Rangers continued walking through the dark building, looking in every direction. "Okay, if I were a fake weapon, protected by villains...where would I be hidden?" Sora wondered out loud as he walked in the front.

"You know, I just wish there was a sign that we could stumble into saying, 'Weapon, this way.'" Kiba said with a short laugh.

"Yeah, because the bad guys would love nothing more than to play fair." Reina remarked with an eyeroll.

"Well, logically, with how many enemies we had to face outside, the weapon is probably either somewhere on this floor or on one of the floors above us and the enemies were meant to distract us from reaching the weapon." Cyrus chimed in, rubbing the bottom of his helmet.

"If that's true, then we need to find that weapon. And fast." Ayumi told them as she clenched her fists.

Just as they were entering a wide space corridor area, wind started blowing all around them like a spiral.

"Whoa. What's happening?" Kiba asked, freezing in his tracks.

"I don't know." Cyrus replied, looking around.

"Ayu?" Reina questioned, looking over at her friend to see if it was her doing.

The Pink Ranger shook her head. "It's not me." She told her.

"Look!" Sora said, pointing ahead of them.

They all turned around and saw some kind of pale white ghost monster with a blue gem embedded on it's forehead appear out of thin air, laughing.

"Hello, Rangers." It spoke in a slighty high-pitch, yet feminine tone.

"Uhh, is this part of the test?" Kiba questioned.

"I'm gonna say no cause I don't recall anything about the holograms having a boss." Reina replied back. 

 Ayumi the pointed at the monster. "So... who is she exactly?"

"Madame Woe." Cyrus answered, getting their attention. "A powerful, elemental monster that not only controls the four elements, but also has the power to send others into another dimension."

This took the others back by shock as they faced the monster, now Madame Woe, with caution.

 "Looks like our test just got a lot harder, thanks to Alsatia and Scrozzle." Sora firmly said.

"You called?"

Hearing the familiar voice, the Rangers looked over to see Scrozzle appear in a pillar of light, forcing the Rangers to be on guard.

"Scrozzle!" The Rangers called out to the robotic inventor.

"So it's true," Cyrus said. "You really are working for Alsatia!"

"That's right! And let me tell you, both Evox and Zedd are nothing compared to Queen Alsatia." Scrozzle boasted before looking cautiously behind him and turning back to the Rangers. "But, um, don't tell them I said that." 

"Enough small talk," Reina said as she narrowed her eyes at Scrozzle. "What are you and Madame Woe doing in our school, Rust Bucket?" 

 "That's for me to know and for you Rangers to find out." Scrozzle said, amusingly. "And besides, you have a much bigger problem to worry about, right now."

He then looked over at Madame Woe. "If you would be so kind, mad'am?"

"Of course." She responded as her crown jewel glowed blue.

"Whoa!" the Rangers screamed, as the area shook and became wobbly. 

Madame Woe laughed as her jewel kept glowing before the team was suddenly transported away from the room.

 "With that taken care of, now comes the next part of the plan." Scrozzle snickered as he moved over to the fake weapon. "Now, that I've knocked out their of communications, nothing will get in my way of putting this fake bomb to use. Go ahead and finish off those pesky Rangers, Madame Woe."

"Consider it done." The witch said, before she disappeared into thin air.


U.A High Monitor Room

Meanwhile, All Might and the class were still having issues with the communications as there still wasn't a reponse from the Rangers or a way of watching them.

"Hey, what's going on with the screen?" Kirishima asked with a blink.

"Yeah, I can't see anything!" Toru added in.

Ochaco looked at the screen. "Is there something wrong with the cameras?"

"Maybe the equipment is outdated or something?" Jiro assumed.

All Might then grabbed the mike and pressed the button. "Come in, Power Rangers! Can you hear me?" But there was no response, making him even more worried. "Power Rangers, come in!"

"Why aren't they answering?!"  Mina questioned worringly.

 "What if something happened to them?" Momo asked in concern.

"Please, everyone!" Tenya shouted, getting everyone to look at him. "I'm sure you're all concerned or even worried about our classmates, but remember that heroes must always remain calm in even the most dire of situations, such as this. What's happening right now is that we're currently having some technical difficulties. I'm sure that whatever is happening is not affecting Ukashi and the others whatsoever."

'While I have to agree with you, Young Iida, I'm afraid that there might be more to this...' All Might thought with narrowed eyes. 'Communications and the monitor all went down once the Power Rangers took their turn. That can't just be a coincidence...'

It was then a thought popped into his mind as his eyes widened in realization. 'Wait, could it be that Alsatia woman's doing? If so, I'll have to contact Principal Nezu at once!'


U.A High School - Ground Beta

After being warped away, the Rangers found themselves in another dimension as the area stopped shaking. The area consists of a dark beach with several blue rocks, as well as huge arches stretching above and across the sea. Far off, a cold light resembling a sun shines towards the area.

"What...the hell?" Reina gaped in shock.

"Where are we?" Kiba questioned, looking around.

"It's gotta be Madame Woe's doing." Cyrus replied. "She used her powers to wrap us to another dimension!" 

"I see that you're well-informed!"

The Rangers perked up at the voice, just as Madame Woe appeared in front of them. She swooped by, and knocked them all across the ground.

"Uh!" the Rangers moaned, as they the ground.

They all got back to their feet, then stared at Madame Woe.

"That's right. I've used my power to bring you all here with the sole purpose of destroying you." she said. "Feel the power of Madame Woe!"

She sent her pointy hair at them, hitting Sora and Reina in the chest.

"AGH!" they moaned.

Madame Woe then sent her hair at Kiba, Cyrus and Ayumi, knocking them down.

"AGH!" they moaned.

They hit the ground near the others.

"Is that all you can muster?" Madame Woe cackled loudly. "Honestly, those last Rangers faired far better than you all."

The Hero Rangers all glared heatedly at the insult as they climbed to his feet. "You've never fought these five!" Sora retorted back. 

"Show me!" she demanded, holding out her hands like claws.

"Yah!" the Rangers yelled, charging forward.

Sora tried to punch Madame Woe, but she knocked his fist down with her hand.

"Whoa!" he yelped, moving past her.

Madame Woe knocked Cyrus's fist aside, then clawed his chest, flipping him onto his back, then she tried to smack Kiba, who blocked it with his elbows. He ducked as she tried to whack him, before she spun around, then he blocked her left arm with his right, before she grabbed it and flipped him onto his back.

"Ah!" he moaned.

Madame Woe turned as Reina and Ayumi both came at her, who ducked and moved back as Reina tried to punch her.

"Hyah!" Reina yelled, as Madame Woe screeched.

She blocked a punch from Ayumi with her hands, then blocked one from Ayumi with her right elbow, then barely dodged one from Reina, before she spun around to kick them both, but missed as they ducked. She then spun around and tackled Ayumi as Reina backed away, causing Ayumi to flip up and hit the ground on her back.

"Ah!" she moaned.

Madame Woe blocked a punch from Reina with her forearm, then blocked another lower one with her hand, before she knocked Reina's arm up and tripped her up onto her side.

"Ah!" she moaned.

Madame Woe turned as Sora came at her, before she ducked as he jumped and spun around to kick her, as Kiba came up behind her. She blocked a punch from Sora with her hand, then clawed at his chest twice, knocking him down and away.

"AH!" he moaned.

"Now to finish you!" Madame Woe laughed, floating back down.

"Let's get her guys!" Sora shouted, as they brought out their weapons, before attacking her.

She teleported forward - laughing as she did - as Sora and Reina tried to hit her, she then hit Kiba with her long nails, followed by Ayumi. Cyrus then tried to kick her, but she blocked it before spinning around, then she slashed him, knocking him down as well.

"Ha! You weaklings will never defeat me." Madame Woe said, using her hair to grab Reina and Sora

She then threw them over her shoulder with her hair, making them hit the ground with their backs, as the others gathered around them.

"So, what's the plan here, guys?" Ayumi asked as she looked the at the Rangers for suggestions.

 "We've got elemental powers, right?" Kiba questioned, holding up his hand in emphasis. "Can't we just use them against her?"

"Even if we could, I doubt that would work." The Rangers looked at Cyrus, silently asking him what he meant by it. "She's too powerful here, and the only way the Blue Mighty Morphin Ranger was able to beat her was by combining the power of his Power Coin with the power of the other Rangers' Power Coins, fighting her outside of her dimension, and destroying the jewel on her forehead."

"So, how do you propose we do that?" Reina questioned him. "We don't exactly have the same equipment as them." 

 Sora hummed lowly at this. "No, but... maybe we can do something similiar with our own power."

"I don't know what you're planning, but it won't work." Madame Woe laughed as her jewel glowed, sending water at the Rangers, sending the Rangers backwards, knocking them to the ground.

"She's a tough one!" Ayumi shouted, as they got to their knees.

"I guess splashing water on her isn't going to melt her?" Kiba thought out loud.

"She's not going after red shoes, Kib!" Sora retorted with a sigh. "Alright, look. Apparently, we can't beat her here. We've got to get back to our dimension. And the only way to do that, is by combining our Ranger powers into one person."

Cyrus blinked at the idea. "Is that even possible? I don't think any Ranger team has tried that before."

""Well, we're kinda out of options, so let's do it!" Reina exclaimed.

At that moment, Madame Woe shot a beam from her jewel, hitting and knocking them back down.

"AGHH!" they moaned.

"Talking in the middle of a fight? How rude." Madame Woe asked, moving closer, as Reina got up.

"Alright, that's it! I've had enough!" She growled before diving towards Woe, clutching her Terra Axe, only for Woe to grab it with one hand, and Reina's neck with the other, laughing as she did.

"Well now...this feels familiar." Madame Woe cackled as she held Reina.

As Reina was trying to get loose from the witch's grip, Cyrus stepped in. "Guys, transfer your power to me! I'll take her down!"

Hearing what Cyrus said surprised Sora, Ayumi, and Kiba. "Are you sure about that, dude?" Kiba asked with concern in his voice.

Before Cyrus could reply, Sora beat him to the punch. "Sounds good to me. Ready when you are."

After hearing what the others are planning, Reina got from Madame Woe's grip by headbutting her in the face, kicking her, and then backflipping towards the others.

"I heard what you guys are planning, and I'm in." Reina said before looking at Cyrus. "Just make sure you give her a few good hits for me."

Cyrus looked at Reina in surprise before nodding his head. "I'll try my best." 

"Yeah! Let's do it!" Reina said.

"You little brats!" Madame Woe bellowed in anger

"Now!" Sora shouted as he and the others placed their Morpher-clad arms on Cyrus' shoulders and back. "Power of the Skies!"

"Earth!"

"Savanna!"

"Forests!"

"Seas!"

The Hero Morphers then began to glow as the power from Sora, Cyrus, Kiba, and Ayumi flowed into Reina.

Suddenly, Cyrus became engulfed in a powerful white aura as he can feel the power and strength of his teammates flowing through him.

And then, the aura disappeared as the four Rangers stepped back from Cyrus, feeling slightly winded. As for Cyrus, he clenched and unclenched his fists as he could feel himself feeling stronger.

'Thanks, guys. I won't let you down.' Cyrus mentally thanked his friends before looking at Madame Woe. "Okay, my turn." And just like that, the Blue Ranger felt himself become slightly faster as he rushed towards the witch and tackled her in just one second.

"H-Huh?!" Madame Woe exclaimed as she was so caught off-guard by it, she didn't have time to dodge or counterattack.

"Time for us to go back home, Madame Woe." Cyrus quipped as he focused his newfound power to encase himself and Madame Woe in the same bright aura that surrounded the Blue Ranger.

"No, no, no! Not again!" Madame Woe yelled out as she reminded of how the Blue Mighty Morphin Power Ranger brought her out of her dimension. 

 Suddenly, the energy fully encased the two and both the Blue Ranger and the elemental witch disappeared.


U.A High School - Ground Beta

"Okay, almost done, aaannnnndd... Ah ha!" Scrozzle exclaimed as stepped back to admire his work. 

What stood in front of him was the fake weapon used for the Battle Trial... or at least, it used to be.

"There. Now that I've turned this doohickey into a powerful explosive, it'll blow those pesky Rangers sky high!"

When Madame Woe sent the Rangers to her dimension to destroy, Scrozzle took the opportunity to transform the fake weapon used in the Battle Trial into a strange, but advanced-looking device, that was connected to the wall of the far end of the room, that resembled a robot spider with five wires in the middle and a screen right above it that said "Countdown until Rangers go bye-bye".

When Scrozzle pressed a button on the device, the screen- now revealed to be a timer- began counting down.

"Perfect. With the Rangers busy dealing with Madame Woe, no one will be around to stop this bomb from going off and destroying their precious school." Scrozzle said as he backed up from the device. "Even if the Rangers were to somehow defeat Madame Woe, they won't have enough time to disarm the bomb or evacuate everyone in their school."

Before anymore could be said, both Cyrus and Madame Woe suddenly appeared in the center of the room, taking Scrozzle by surprise. "W-What!?"

Cyrus turned to the inventor's direction and saw the now-real weapon. "What the...the fake weapon!" he gaped in shock.

"How did you get out of Madame Woe's dimension!?"

"That's for me to know and for you to figure out." Cyrus retorted, throwing the robot's earlier words back at him. "Now, what did you do to that prop!?"

"Don't forget about me!"

Cyrus, who just remembered about his fight against Madame Woe, turned to see her forehead jewel glow bright as it then shot blue lightning towards him.

Luckily, the Blue Ranger rolled sideways to dodge the attack. As for Scrozzle... he slightly jumped backwards in fear as the attack almost hit him and the device attached to the wall.

"Hey! Don't fight in here!" Scrozzle yelled out in anger. "Do you two want to blow us all up to kingdom come?!"

"Huh?" Cyrus turned to Scrozzle in confusion. "What are you talking about?"

Scrozzle covered his mouth with his hands as he realized what he almost revealed to the Blue Ranger. "Oh, uh, nothing! Just, uh, forget what I said and, uh, please take your fighting outside?"

"Answer the question!" Cyrus yelled, rushing towards Scrozzle, only to stop as Madame Woe warped in front of him.

"Ah ah ah! I'm not done with you yet!" She cackled, firing her pointy hair at the Blue Ranger. She then fired lightning through her hair at him, and then threw him to the side.

"Aah!" he yelled, as he flew into the wall, bursting through it in the process.

"This is getting too dangerous for me. I'm out of here!" Scrozzle fearfully stated as he teleported back to Alsatia's ship.

Cyrus rolled along the ground, then got up and stared at Madame Woe, who floated through the broken hole. "You don't frighten me. I know all of you abilites by now." He declared firmly, pointing his Sea Lance at his foe.

"Are you sure about that, Little Boy Blue?" Madame Woe snarled in anger as her jewel glowed once more. "I summon the power of the storm to strike down upon my foe!" She  chanted as lightning came down from the sky and onto her hands as she then launched it towards Cyrus.

To Be Continued...

Cyrus rolled along the ground, then got up and stared at Madame Woe, who floated through the broken hole. "You don't frighten me. I know all of you abilites by now." He declared firmly, pointing his Sea Lance at his foe.

"Are you sure about that, Little Boy Blue?" Madame Woe snarled in anger as her jewel glowed once more. 

"What...?" Cyrus uttered as he tensed up for action.

"I summon the power of the storm to strike down upon my foe!" She chanted as lightning came down from the sky and onto her hands as she then launched it towards Cyrus.

"Uh oh!" Cyrus exclaimed, quickly holding up his weapon just as the attack slammed down upon his location. He gritted his teeth hard as he tried to hold back the attack with his Sea Lance.

His feet skidded a foot or two backward before the blue Ranger set his feet and stopped again. With a yell, Cyrus delivered a heavy blow to the blast and sent it hurling behind him, where it exploded into a massive burst of power.

Cyrus then tried to hit her with his Sea Lance, only for her to knock it up, then knock him aside.

"AH!" Cyrus moaned, hitting the ground.

"No one escapes Madam Woe." Madame Woe said, floating over towards him.

He rolled along it, then got up and stared at Madame Woe.

"Now you'll feel the sting of my anger." she said.

She then jumped into the air and flew towards Cyrus, who jumped and tried to hit her, but she teleported at the last second, arriving behind him, laughing.

"Ha! Over here!" she said.

Cyrus turned and tried to stab her, only for her to teleport again, and then again, as Cyrus tried to slash her. He turned to her, but she knocked his Sea Lance up, then she slashed him down the chest, knocking him down.

"Uh!" Cyrus moaned, rolling along the ground.

He got back up, then jumped and tried to hit her, but she disappeared in a wind cloud, but he could still hear her laughing. He was then blown back by a strong wind, causing him to head straight into a wall.

"AAGH!" he yelled.

When he got to the wall, however, he kicked his feet against it and dived to Madame Woe to stab her before Madame Woe slashed Cyrus three times with her nails, knocking him away.

"Ah!" he moaned.

He fell onto his back, then got up to his knees, as Madame Woe then slashed upwards diagonally.

"Hyah!" she roared.

The slash hit Cyrus across the chest, making lighting come out of him.

"AHH!" he moaned before smoke came up in front of him. "AH!" He hit the ground on his side, then rolled onto his back, as Madame Woe floated at ease.

"Hmph, you're not as formidable as the last Blue Ranger." Madame Woe commented. "You've met your match. Give it up."

Cyrus struggled to stand, grunting as he did.

"I refuse!" He retorted, getting up. "My friends are counting on me to win this so they can return home! I won't let them down!"

He then held his arms out slightly as his body lit up with a blue aura.

"What?" Madame Woe gasped in shock.

Water began to swirl around Cyrus Sea Lance before densing into a sharp edge. "Tsunami Blast!" He called out and thursted his weapon forward, sending out a massive wave of water.

"Wah!" Madame Woe had no chance of escaping the rushing water and was swept out of the air. The current was so strong that it burst through the windows of the building and washed down to the ground below.

When the water settled, the entire floor was wet as several puddles remained from the attack.

Hearing coughing, Cyrus turned and found Madame Woe embedded in the wall, but she seemed to be struggling to move. Her jewel was no longer active. She was panting heavily, and her arms looked like they would give out any moment.

She was struggling to get up as well, but she just couldn't find the strength. Getting thrashed around by torrents of water can do that to people.

 'I hope that will give me enough time to get that jewel from her forehead.' Cyrus mentally spoke as he rushed over and snatched the crystal jewel off Madame Woe's forehead.

"No, my jewel!" She cried out.

Cyrus then jumped back before crushing the crystal in his hands, turning it into dust.

Meanwhile, the other Rangers were waiting for Cyrus' voice.

"Guys! I destroyed her jewel! You'll be free in a second!" Cyrus said.

"Alright, everyone ready?" Sora asked.

"Yes/Sure am!" the girls and Kiba said before the latter clicked his heels together.

 "There's no place like home. There's no place like home."

The room started spinning again, making them all wobble.

"Ah!" they yelped.

They all soon ended up back in the building Cyrus and Madame Woe were.

"Oh!" they yelped as they stopped shaking.

"We're back!" Sora shouted. "Let's go!"

"Yeah!" said Reina.

"Let's do it!" Kiba agreed with a thumbs up. 

"All right." said Ayumi.

Sora somersaulted forward, followed by Reina, Kiba, and Ayumi, all landing near Cyrus, as Madame Woe watched on.

"Good job, pal!" Sora complimented as he patted Cyrus' back.

"Did you give her a few good hits for me?" Reina asked Cyrus with anticipation in her voice.

"Is that good enough for you?" Cyrus answered her question with a question of his own as he nodded his head towards where Madame Woe was.

The other Rangers looked and were instantly surprised by the state the elemental witch is in.

"Whoa!" Kiba yelled in surprise. "Did you do that, Cy?"

"If so, then I guess that does explain the water puddles." Ayumi added as she took notice of the puddles on the floor. 

 "Forget impressed. I'm so proud of our little tech wizard!" Reina said as she patted Cyrus' back before giving him a quick one-armed hug. 

 "I will not stand for this!" Madame Woe screeched as she struggled to climb out of the wall. "I will not be humiliated again by a bunch of Rangers!" 

"Seems to me that you just were, Madame Woe!" Cyrus shouted, pointing at her.

"Let's put this witch down!" Sora yelled as he held up his sword. "Pyro Sword!" He shot forward as hot flames engulfed around the blade. He then slashed Madame Woe before stabbing his weapon next to her and focusing some of his power into his Pyro Sword to blast her out of the wall. 

 Then, Reina was the next to attack. "Terra Axe!" She yelled and spun her body around along with her axe, slashing Madame Woe across the body several times. 

 "Savanna Claws!" Kiba shouted, slashing into the witch's stomach twice with electrical energy and making her skid backward before coming to a stop. 

 "Sky Bowgun!" Ayumi called out before jumping into the air and fired several pink lasers at the ground around Madame Woe, creating explosions that knocked her to the ground. 

 "Sea Lance!" Cyrus shouted as he swung his around and rushed at Madame Woe in a burst of water to jab the witch across the side in an instant. 

 "ARGHHH!" She screamed out in absolute pain from attack, leaving enough time for the Rangers to finish her off. 

"Let's bring them together!" Sora ordered.

 "WEAPONS COMBINE!" 

The five weapons flew into the air as they began to combine together into one super weapon. The Sky Bowgun was faced horizontally as the Savanna Claws were launched and connected onto both sides of the Bowgun, facing forward, acting as additional barrels for the cannon. The Sea Lance then connected to the front of the Bowgun, similar to an arrow. Finally, the Pyro Sword was locked in on top of the weapon, similar to where an arrow would be placed in a crossbow as the Terra Axe connected to the front of the Bowgun's handle, with the bottom half facing forward. 

 "Justice Striker!" The Rangers shouted before Sora aimed it at Madame Woe, as Reina and Kiba crouched down and held up the end of it, as Cyrus and Ayumi touched Sora's shoulders to hold him in place.

 Madame Woe's eyes widened in pure horror at the sight of the weapon as an image of the Mighty Morphin Rangers flashed before her eyes. "Oh, not again!" 

 "Fire!" The Rangers shouted before Sora pulled the trigger.The Justice Striker immediately sent out a powerful, rainbow-colored laser beam and hit Madame Woe dead on, which caused an explosion and made the witch scream out in pain again.

 "AH!" She moaned. "Nooo! It wasn't supposed to go this way again! Curse you, Power Rangers! Oh, woe is me!" She then fell on her chest and exploded into a pile of ashes.As the smoke began to clear away, the Rangers saw that nothing remained of Madame Woe but a mere crater with steam coming from it.

"Woo! So long, Wicked Witch of the East!" Kiba cheered as he pumped his fist into the air.

"Don't you mean 'Wicked Witch of the West'?" Ayumi asked him. 

"At least we don't have to worry about flying monkeys." Sora snorted out loud.

It was then a beeping sound from caught their attention, causing them to head back into the room that has the bomb and notice how it looks a lot different than the usual fake weapon from the previous matches and how the timer's counting down.

Ayumi pointed at the timer. "Umm... what happened to the fake weapon, and why does it look like it's counting down?" She asked nervously.

"Crud, I nearly forgot!" Cryus yelled before rushing over to the weapon and began to look over it. "Scrozzle turned it into a real explosive that has the potential to wipe out the whole school!"

Reina blinked at this. "You mean we've got a nuke in our school?!"  

"Cy, please tell me you can disarm this thing!" Sora said.

"Disarming a bomb in seven minutes?" Cyrus asked. "Difficult, but not impossible! Problem is, I'm not an expert on handling alien technology. The only person is--- Katrina!!! Get Kat on the communicator!"

"On it!" The Red Ranger nodded as he brought his Morpher up to his face. "Kat, we've got a problem here." He spoke into the device.

"Does that have anything to do with communications in the Monitor Room being disrupted?" The A.I. questioned. 

 Hearing that surprised the Rangers, who didn't know about that.  "Wait, what? Seriously?" Reina asked exasperatedly.

"Principal Nezu told me that All Might thinks the reason why he can't see you on the cameras or contact you is because he believes that Alsatia's blocking communications." Katrina answered back.

Ayumi hummed in thought. "That makes sense for her to do that since she really didn't want anyone to stop Scrozzle from putting a bomb in our school." 

"Wait, what?!" Katrina exclaimed in shock. "What bomb?"

"That's the reason why we called you." Kiba spoke up next. "We were hoping you could help Cy disarm the bomb before it could destroy our school and our classmates."

"Okay, say no more," Their mentor firmly said. "Cyrus, since I can't physically disarm Scrozzle's bomb; I'll walk you through the steps, and hopefully, you'll have no problem disarming it." Cyrus nodded in gratitude. 

"Okay. What do I have to do first?" The Blue Ranger asked.

 "Please wait while I scan the explosive so we'll know what we're working with." Katrina replied as she started to scan the device in order to get a better understanding of it. "Alright. I'll send the layout to your visor."

A download bar appeared in front of Cyrus' vision as it filled up rapidly to 100% with the blueprints on display. "Got it!" He nodded, quickly moving to open up the compactor that held the wires.

 Everyone watched as Cyrus began fiddling with the device, desperately trying to disarm the bomb as he sweated profusely.

Kiba's gaze looked up at the timer and saw it was now at T-mins five minutes until detonation.

"Uh, Cy...?" Kiba asked, growing nervous. Cyrus ignored him and continued to work on disabling the weapon.

T-minus 2 minutes until detonation...

"Anytime now, Cy!" Kiba shouted.

"Shut up, Kiba!" Reina snapped as Cyrus continued his work.

T-MINUS 10 SECONDS! 

9...

8...

7...

6...

5...

4...

3...

2...-

Kiba closed his eyes and waited for the end, but before the timer could finish the countdown, it was suddenly cut off. Kiba opened his eyes to find that Cyrus had disarmed the bomb.

"Power Down!" The team said as their Ranger suits suddenly vanished, reverting them back into their civilian hero uniforms.

"You did it!" Ayumi cheered in glee.

"Way to go, buddy." Sora said, patted his friend's shoulder.

"See? Told you it wasn't impossible." Cyrus said, smirking confidently.

"Ha, I never doubted you for a second!" Kiba said.

"Sure, you didn't." Cyrus replied, rolling his eyes. 

"So, does this mean we passed?" Reina asked, getting everyone's attention. "I mean, the goal was to secure the weapon."

"Power Rangers!" The team all turned around to see All Might appear behind them with a concerned look on his face. "Are you alright!?"

 "All Might?" The Rangers blinked at the No.1 Hero's appearance. 

 "What are you doing here?" Ayumi questioned with a head tilt. 

 "I had a feeling that something was wrong when comminucations were cut off." All Might replied as he walked over to them. "I figured Alsatia might've had something to do with this."

Reina scratched her cheek. "Well, you're not wrong." She told him.

"Scrozzle was able to bypass U.A security and cut off all communications, just so he could wire this weapon into an actual bomb." Cyrus added, gesturing to the object behind them.

"With some help from the past." Ayumi joined in, thinking back to Madame Woe.

"Thankfully, Cy and Kat were able to disarm it before it could detonate." Sora spoke up as well.

All Might narrowed his eyes in shock and anger. "This enemy sounds bolder than I thought. If they can infiltrate U.A this easy, they could invade whenever they see fit." All Might grimaced at the thought. 

 "Shouldn't we inform Principal Nez about this?" Kiba suggested.

"No worries, I shall take on that task." Katrina said through the Morphers. "For now, you all should get back to class and we'll discuss our next move at a later time."

"She's right. I think you kids have done enough after today." All Might stated.

"Well, I'm not arguing." Sora said, stretching his arms above his head. "Come on, guys."

He began to make his way out as the others followed behind him. Though just before they could move further...

"And before I forget, Young Ukashi. You and your friends have passed." All Might announced, giving the team a thumbs up. "Consider this a full A+ for protecting the school!"

This caused smiles to form on each Ranger's face as they took in the Pro's words. "Alright!" They cheered as they peformed a group high-five.


Later...

With the Battle Trials now over, All Might and the Rangers now stood where the rest of the students are at. "That's a wrap! Super work. You really stepped up to the plate. And, we didn't have any major injuries, except for Midoriya. You should be proud. Excellent first day of training, all around!" All Might praised.

"It's nice to hear some encouraging words after our homeroom class. Mr. Aizawa was kind of a buzzkill." Tsuyu said.

"I'm happy to bring such staggering positivity to my alma mater! That's all for now, folks. I should go and check on Young Midoriya's progress! Now, watch as a Pro exits. Like he's got somewhere to be!" All Might said enthusiastically and ran from the students so fast, that they were amazed by it. 

"Man, I'll say it again. That guy knows how to make an entrance." Said Kiba as Reina and Cyrus nod while Ayumi and Sora just looked at where All Might left.

"I hope he'll be alright after this." Ayumi whispered, feeling concerned when she noticed steam coming off of All Might's body."I'm sure he'll be fine." Sora reassured her with a smile.

Then, the sound of the school speaker caught their attention as Principal Nezu's voice was heard all over the school. 

 "Attention, everyone! Would Sora Ukashi, Cyrus Hado, Reina Fukukado, Kiba Mason, and Ayumi Suzuni report to my office? Please and thank you!"

The Rangers blinked multiple times from this, as well as the other students. "The principal wants to see you guys?" Sero asked.

"Did you guys do something wrong?" Jiro asked as she gazed at the team.

Ayumi shook her head. "Not that we know of."

Cyrus pondered over something before looking at his friends. "Do you think...?"

"Most likely, yeah."  Kiba nodded whole-heartedly

"No doubt." Reina chimed in.

"Then, let's not leep the boss man waiting." The HF Leader replied before heading towards Nezu's office. "Come on, guys!"

Then, the other Rangers followed right behind him out of the students' sights.

Kaminari and Kirishima exchanged confused looks at each other. "What was that all about?" the spiky red-head boy asked, to which the blonde-haired boy only shrugs his shoulders.

Shoto continued to stare at the direction the Rangers disappeared to with his eyes narrowing in suspicion


U.A. - Principal Nezu's Office

In the office of Principal Nezu, the Hero Force Rangers were explaining everything that happened in their Battle Trial as they sat down.

"My, sounds like you all had quite the experience." Nezu said with smile, as he enjoyed the story the Rangers told him. "Not even Pros yet, but you're still accomplishing so much in only a short amount time." 

"Thank you for such kind words, principal Nezu." Cyrus said with a bow.

"You know, I'm really starting to think you're playing favorites here." Reina couldn't help but comment.

"Do you mean how he made us fight holograms instead of our classmates for our match?" Kiba asked her.

"Seems like he wanted to show you guys off to your class." Katrina spoke as her A.I form floated in the room.

"Yeah, I don't think students normally see this much of you, principal Nezu." Ayumi agreed with her hands in her lap.

"Well, maybe they should!" Nezu countered with joyful expression. "Being principal isn't as busy a job as you might think, and I'd never turn away a student who wants to learn."

Kiba and Katrina just laughed, shaking their heads in amusement.

"What?" Nezu asked with a smirk. "Do I need to hand out engraved invitations or something? Principal or not, I'm still a teacher at this school."

"Man, I love this guy!" Kiba laughed as he leaned back in his seat.

"So, was there something you need, Nezu?" Sora wondered, once the laughter died down. "I doubt you would've called the Rangers here just for chat if it wasn't important."

"Need? Not at all!" Nezu replied. "Want? Well, there's this nice little coffee shop I know that does amazing crumpets, I'd love one of them. I'd like for villains to just stop already, but that would end up with half the heroes out of work! I have many wants, but doesn't everyone?"

"I guess." Sora said while rubbing his head.

"Now, as for right now, there is something I wanted to discuss with you all." Nezu said as he gazed at the team.

 "I'm assuming it's about what we've told you about what happened during our Battle Trial?" Cyrus guessed.

"That's correct," Nezu sighed before continuing. "I still find it hard to believe that Alsatia's forces have managed to infiltrate our school just to destroy it with a dangerous explosive. Who knows how many lives would have been lost if you all didn't disarm it before it could detonate?" 

 Reina narrowed her eyes at the ground as she added in her thoughts. "And I'm willing to bet that she'll do it again." 

"For sure. The fact that they got onto U.A's campus just confirms it." Sora nodded grimly.

"So, what are we going to about it?" Ayumi asked the big question. "How are we going to make sure Alsatia doesn't do this again so our friends don't get hurt, or worse?"

"I'm glad that you asked, Ayumi." Everyone turned their attention to Katrina. "After Principal Nezu told me what happened when you all were taking part in the Battle Trial, I put out an trans-dimensional message asking for some assistance. If we're lucky, hopefully someone will be glad to help us with our current situation."

Cyrus blinked at this.. "Wait, you're trying to get help from another dimension?"

Before Katrina could reply, she got an alert from the Command Chamber. "Hold please." And just like that, she disappeared. 

 The Rangers and Principal Nezu looked at each other in confusion, silently wondering what that was about. 

 After what felt like a couple of minutes of awkward silence, Katrina came back. "I apologize for making you all wait. I just got a response from my call and once I tell her where U.A. High is, she'll be glad to help us." 

 'She?' Even though the Rangers were glad that someone from another dimension is willing to help them, they couldn't but wonder who got Katrina's call. 

 "That's wonderful news!" Nezu happily exclaimed. "May I ask who our mystery ally is?"

 "Someone who not only has some experience dealing with Scrozzle, but can also help us make sure Alsatia's forces won't infiltrate U.A. again." Katrina hinted. "Just don't freak out when she teleports here."

Soon, a portal suddenly opened up in front of the group and from it emerged a silhouette. It looked like a human-sized Solonosaurus with brown cybernatics body parts that took one step forward and looked around. 

 "Oh my! Where am I? I do hope I'm in the right place." The dinosaur spoke with a feminine tone.

The Rangers stood there shocked as they can't believe their eyes. Cyrus's glasses fell down to the bridge of his nose, and became slightly cracked. Reina and Ayumi looked at each other and blinked as they looked at the cyborg dinosaur. Kiba rubbed his eyes and shook his head while Sora blinked various times...

"SOLON!?" They all exclaimed, taking the prehistoric reptile back.

The dinosaur, now Solon, looked over at the team. "That's correct, and you must be the Rangers Katrina told me about. I hope you don't mind me saying this, but you're much younger than some of the other Rangers that I've met. Although, that might explain why you five have so much energy." 

Cyrus was the first to move up to Solon. "It's a pleasure to meet you in the flesh. I'm a huge fan of your work." He spoke in admiration, holding out a hand.

"Oh my. Well, it's nice to meet someone like you.." Solon smiled as she shook the blunette's hand.

 Kiba snickered. "Cy's not kidding about being your fan. The dude liked your Ranger hotline idea that he literally turned it into a phone app." 

 Hearing what Kiba said caused Cyrus to blush with embarrassment as he struggled to find the right words to say.

"Is that so?" Solon asked with interest. "That's impressive. With an idea like that, helping citizens would make things easier for you all."

Cyrus rubbed his nose, pleased by this compliment as Reina nudged his shoulder.

"Ohhhh, now this is an interesting turn of events." Nezu commented with a smile as his eyes sparkled from glee.

Solon turned her attention to the principal. "Pardon me, I didn't realize we had company." She said back. "And who might you be?"

"I'm the principal of this school, Nezu." The small animal Pro replied as he raised a paw. "Now then, onto business. Ms. Solon, was it? I assume Katrina has already told you why you are here?"

"Indeed, she did. Imagine my surprise when she told me that Scrozzle has been running around in your universe causing all sorts of trouble." Solon replied, recalling all of the times her team ecountering the robotic inventor.

"Seems that after Lord Zedd was stopped, he had no one else to kiss up too." Sora assumed, folding his arms. 

"So he crossed over into our universe and teamed up with Alsatia." Reina joined in as she sat on the sofa's right arm.

 "Not only giving her knowledge about the Power Rangers, but also giving her an endless supply of monsters and villains for her to command." Cyrus added with a grimace.

"Which makes this situation a lot more dangerous." Ayumi finished while playing with a strand of her hair.

"That's not good." Solon muttered at the news. "In fact, I'm afraid it's more serious than I thought." She turned to the group and cleared her throat.

"So, do you have an idea on what we can do?" Kiba asked her.

"Hmm. Well, since you asked, I could help set up a force field around the school that should prevent this Alsatia character, Scrozzle, or any monster they might have from teleporting in here and causing havoc." Solon answered.

"Whoa, really!?"

"If I have the necessary materials, I can have it done in a day." Solon said wth confidence.

"In a day? That's nuts!" Reina exclaimed, impressed.

"I mean, she basically built all of the Dino Fury Rangers' gear, right?" Ayumi pointed out. "Creating a force is probably child's play for her. 

"Well, it's a real shame that none of us has a "state of the art" chamber where she could work her magic." Sora responded jokingly.

Solon looked on in surprise. "Really? Are you sure about this?"

"We need all the help we can get and in return we're willing to help however we can, if it means giving you full access to our Command Chamber." Katrina  confirmed.

"Katrina's right." Ayumi agreed  with a nod. "Our headquarters even has a guest room that you can use if you're going to be here for a while."

Solon took in their words before replying.  "Well, that's mighty kind of you all. If it's alright with you, do you mind if I contact my team and let them know about what I'm going to be doing? I hate to let them worry about little old me."

"Of course."

"Seems like things are moving along quite well. " Nezu muttered to himself as he watched on.


U.A High - Afternoon

"Man, what a surprising turn of events! I can't believe we met and are alongside with a previous mentor." Cyrus gushed as he and the other Rangers walked down the hall.

After getting their passes written by Nezu, the team all changed back into their school uniforms and now made their way back to class...all while Cyurs was nerding out over the conversation with Solon.

"Wow, I haven't seen him geek out this much since he learned about that David Shield guy's inventions." Reina whispered to the others, who all wore amused grins.

 "Can't say I blame him." Kiba laughed. "It's not every day that we get work alongside a past Ranger team's mentor, let alone a real dinosaur!"

"Not to mention we'll have a better defense against Scrozzle should he come again." Sora added in when he noticed that they were now approaching the classroom door. 

Pushing open the door, the Rangers walked in and caught the attention of everyone when Kirishima exclaimed. "Hey, you're back!"

The team was a little surprised when they were approached by the redhead, Sero, Mina, Sato, and Tsuyu.

"So what did the principal say to you guys?" Sato asked. "You're not in trouble or anything, right?"

"Oh, no." Cyrus waved them off reasurringly. "He just wanted to talk to us about something, is all. Nothing too serious, and I guess we lost track of time."

"Huh, I guess that makes sense." Kirishima shrugged.

That's when Ayumi noticed someone was missing. "Is Izuku still not back yet?"

Suddenly, the classroom slid open as everyone turned to see Izuku walk in with his right arm in a cast.

"Or he'll already be on his feet."

"Hey, Freckles!" Reina slapped his back as several other students started to crowd around him. "Great job kicking major ass in your match!"

"O-Oh, Fukukado. Um, thanks." Izuku stuttered out in reply.

"I don't know what you said during the match, but man, you were so fired up!" Kirishima told him. "Hecka manly I'd say!"

"You fought against Bakugo, and the guy's super strong!" Sero added.

"You did such a good job with dodging that giant explosion too!" Mina bounced a little. "It was so cool!"

"Sheesh! With how you guys acted in the first match, the rest of us had to give it our all too!" Sato laughed, with Sero and Kirishima nodding in agreement.

"W-Waahh..." A little overwhelmed was an understatement to how he was feeling. Kirishima grinned once more as he gestured to everyone.

"We were gonna wait until you woke up. We're all going over the training together right now, so you're just in time!"

"Your dodge was awesome!"

"Umm... Ehh..." Izuku couldn't help but panic a little, but smile in return as he entered the classroom.

"You alright there, Midoriya?" Tsuyu popped up from the back as she lean closely towards his arm.

"Geez... You guys are really loud, you know?" Tokoyami shrugged as he sat on a desk. Iida gasped as he begins to valiantly walk towards him.

"Tokoyami!" Iida shouted, catching everyone's attention as he marched over to the bird-headed boy. "Stop using that desk as a chair! Get off it this instant!"

"Dude, you need to chill." Jiro said with a deadpan tone.

"Uh—"

"You're carrying a lot of tension." Ojiro added, pointing at him.

Iida slouched his back a little. "No one understands..." He moaned, before bouncing back up to his normal self. "I cannot condone actions that disrespect these desks. Not when great men and women, our upperclassmen, once used them!"

"You're too loud, dude..." Kiba sighed.

"Ha... Iida never wavers, huh?" Cyrus chuckled.

Ayumi then looked around and noticed someone else missing. "Hey, where's Ochaco?"

"Oh she went with Kamainari to run an errand for Mr. Aizawa." Toru replied. "They should be back by now."

As if to prove her point, The door opened, letting said students enter with pile of heavy volumes in their arms.

"Hey, wanna grab something to eat?" the electric boy asked, a charming smile on his face. "What do you like?"

The brown-haired girl behind him blinked in surprise at the question "Mochi- Hey!!" Completely forgetting about the blond, Ochaco called out as she rushed over to the group. "What happened to you guys? Did you get in trouble or something!?"

Having a sense of déjà vu, Reina stepped forward. "Yeah. Long story short, he wanted to talk with us. Nothing seroius."

"Oh okay." Ochaco nodded before she looked over at the green-haired boy. "Huh? Recovery Girl didn't heal your wounds, Deku?" She observed.

"O-Oh, uh, it's because it would take too much of my stamina to do so." Izuku explained as he began to look around, only to visibly gasp at the lack of Bakugo in the room. "Wait, where's Kacchan?"

"Huh?" The Rangers followed his gaze and saw Bakugo's empty desk.

"That jerk left as soon as the bell rang." Toru sighed.

"We tried to stop him, but he just left for home now without saying anything." Ochaco revealed.

Frowning, Izuku immediately turned and began to run outside.

"Wait, Deku!" Ochaco called out to him, but alas, she could not stop him. Everyone watched as the green haired teen jumped down the stairs, rushing out to catch Bakugo before he left the campus grounds.

"I got it!" Sora spoke, as he started running after the greenette.

"Sora, where are you going?" Ayumi called after the Red Ranger as he took off through the hall.

He got to the entrance to find Izuku standing in the middle of the sidewalk with Bakugo shouting at him. Silently, he hid behind one of the trees adoring the walkway as he listened on.

"Craaap! I even agreed with what that girl said. My attack was so stupid! Dammit. Dammit. Dammit! Enjoy that win Deku. You won't get another, I'm just getting started!" Sora started to hear footsteps walking away, which he assumed were Bakugo if the receding voice was any indication.

"You'll never beat me again you bastard. Don't even try!"

The moment between potential rivals was somewhat ruined by the appearance and voice of the number one hero.

"Baku-Go. I found you!" All Might announced as he placed his hands on the explosive boy's shoulders. "Just so you know pride is an important attribute to have, but while you certainly have the abilities to become a pro hero there's still plenty you have to-"

"Let go of me All Might. Right now." Both Sora and Izuku were wondering what was going on, though they had clearly heard the pro hero start to give a speech before Bakugo interrupted him. "I'll become a hero that surpasses you, even without you telling me!"

"Huh? Uh, okay..." All Might said, letting go of his shoulders. With that, the ash-blonde teen walked away.

"Man, that guy's an ass even when he's down." Sora muttered. He was about to approach Izuku before All Might turned his attention to the green-haired teen and started to tease the poor teen. Sora was going to head back to the classroom before the unexpected shout of All Might reached his ears.

"You told Bakugou what?!" From his hiding place, the brunette could see that the smile that All Might had was strained while Izuku looked a little downtrodden as he responded.

"I'm so sorry. I didn't even tell my mom about this but for some reason I felt like I had to explain it to him. Like it was only fair that he knew." Sora knew it was wrong to eavsedrop. But for some inexplicable reason, couldn't tear himself away from the conversation.

"Don't look so sad. He didn't take you  seriously so  I don't think he'll say anything. This  time I'll  let things slide. Just make sure this doesn't happen again. You need to think carefully about the responsibility that comes with this power."

Upon hearing that, Sora looked surprised as he realized that somehow Izuku and his Quirk were more connected to All Might, when his eyes widened as he recalled their conversation from before....


Flashback

"As I was saying before, as my time as the Symbol of Peace is running out, I came to U.A. to find someone to pass on One For All's  power...but my  search is finally over." All Might told the Rangers.

This confused the team and Katrina. "Why's that?" Sora asked.

"You'll know soon enough." All Might simply told them. "And when you do meet my successor, promise me that you all will keep everything said here a secret from everyone else."

Flashback ends


'So...that means Izuku is All Might's successor?' Sora thought as he narrowed his eyes slightly, retreating back into the school.

"Sora!"

The brunette looked back and saw Ayumi, Cyrus, Reina, and Kiba all running over to him with their bags in tow.

"Don't just run off like that!" Ayumi told him, pouting as she handed the brown-haired boy his backpack. "You left without saying a word."

"Right, sorry about that." Sora chuckled embarrassingly as he put his backpack on. "I was merely checking on Izuku, just in case a fight between him and Bakugo broke out, but All Might was already there."

"Really? Did something happen?" Reina asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Not really." Sora simply replied. 

"...Okay, whatever you say." Reina said, not fully believing him and thinking there's more than he let on.

Kiba stretched his arms above his head and groaned. "With that taken care of, can we head home now? It's been a really long day and I need some beauty sleep."

"I second that." Cyrus nodded.

No one argued at the thought before shrugging as one. Making sure that no one saw them, the team pressed the teleport button on their Morphers and vanished into their respective colors.

To Be Continued...

U.A. High School Front Entrance- Morning

In front of UA was about 3 dozen reporters, all with cameras and microphones in hand, gathering around students and asking them questions. Though they only seemed to talk to any student from the Hero Course or a Pro-Hero teacher.

The news that All Might had been hired as a faculy member at U.A took the entire nation by surprise, naturally the media swarmed the school in search of a story, everyone wanted to get their hands on All Might, Yeah everyone.

"Hey, you can tell us what it's like to work so closely with All Might?" A lady reporter asked Izuku.

"Ah, um, sorry, I have to go to the nurse's office. Yeah, right away!" Izuku responded as he backed away from the crowd.

The next student the lady asked was Ochaco. "Are you one of All Might's students?! What does The Symbol of Peace look like in person?!"

"Uh, what's he like? Well... Uh—" The brown-haired girl put her arms up in a flexing pose, trying to imitate All Might. "He's super muscle-y. Yeah!"

The next student was Iida. "What are you learning from the Number One Hero?!"

"It redoubles my awareness of the fact that I'm enrolled where I can reap the awards of the pinnacle of hero training." Iida answered with a serious tone. "It goes with saying that his authority or mind are awe-inspiring, but so too are qualities such as his sense of humor. Now that we students will be constantly exposed to such an impressive role model, we will be able to study what one needs to possess in order to match the definition of a 'Pro Hero', and furthermore-" As he continues to explain, the endless answer was getting boring for the reporters and cameramen so they just walked away to talk to another student.

"Too long-winded! Blondie! Is All Might up to the task of teaching you all?!" The reporter said, interrupting Iida, his jaw clenched in annoyance that he wasn't allowed to finish speaking.

"He's certainly got a... flare to how he does it." Kiba said, shrugging.

"Too short! Pretty Face! How do you feel about having All Might as a teacher!?"

"Well, he seems super cool! I love learning from him! He's pretty enthusiastic!" Ayumi said with a smile.

"Too quirky! Glasses! Do you think All Might's really teacher material!?" The reporter said.

"I, uh, think he's doing a good job, and um..." Cyrus awkwardly rubbed the back of his head. "He's really looking after the students..."

"Too timid! Greenie, is All Might everything you expected to be?!" the reporter said, turning towards Reina. Cyrus felt gloomy at what the reporter did.

"No comment." The greenette said as she merely walked away.

The next student was none other than Bakugo. "Hey kid, are you in... wait... you're that kid from the Sludge Villain Incident! What's All Might like?"

"Piss off, you uncultured swines!" Bakugo yelled, which surprised and shocked everyone.

"So what can tell us about All Might?" A reporter brought a microphone up to Sora.

Sora just stared at the microphone and reporter with a blank expression before opening his mouth...only to walk away from her without saying a single word.

"H-H-Hey, wait!" The reporter called out to the boy but with no luck.

"Annoying..." Sora shook his head to this nonsense.

"You can say that again." Reina commented.

"Media. They're always troublesome." Kiba stated as the reporters tried calling them back. "No wonder the Rangers leave after a fight. They are relentless."

"And rude..." Cyrus spoke, pushing up his glasses

"Not to mention having no sense of personal space." Ayumi huffed, blowing a strand of hair out of her face.

"Wait, just a few more quest -" A woman reporter ran up to them but was cut off as Aizawa himself stood in the woman's way of his students. "Cut the feed!" She said quickly to her cameraman, who quickly did so. "Why don't you look a little more presentable? Aren't you a pro hero?!"

Aizawa simply waved her off. "I don't care about my look." He said as he looked to the other reporters. "You're interfering with our lessons here, so kindly vacate the premises." Then he looked at the team."All of you inside now." He ordered them.

Without say a word, they quickly walked inside the front gate of the school, all while Aizawa was dealing with the media.

"Excuse me, sir, could you get All Might for us?" The woman asked Aizawa as she and the other reporters were creeped out by Aizawa's appearance.

"All Might's not on campus today, now get out of here, you'ved disturbed my students enough already." Aizawa said as he walked back into the campus.

"But my viewers want to know how he's adjusting to life as a teacher! I think i've seen the guy somewhere before. Where? I don't know, but he's a bit scruffy for a hero!" A few reporters began clamoring.

'How does All Might ever get anything done with this media circus stepping on his cape?' Aizawa thought as he ignored the persistent press.

"Bring All Might out, or I'll do it myself!" The female reporter said, frustrated as she tried to walk into the campus, her camera man tried to stop her before the front gate activated, and multiple steel walls sprouted upwards, closing the gate completely. "Hey, what's happening?!" The female reporter yelled, terrified.

"Don't you know about the school's defenses? This gate is the U.A. barrier." The camera man told the reporter.

"Defenses? It almost killed me!" The reporter yelled, still scared.

"Yeah, well, it's designed to stop anyone who doesn't have an ID or a special pass from entering the campus. I guess It worked. Apparently, there are security sensors all over the place." The Camera man explained.

Yes, U.A. is a top-notch school in not just academics and heroics but also in student safety! With professional heroes as teachers to serve as security and the legendary Recovery Girl to heal wounds in an instant, U.A. has an impeccable record of student health. They went above and beyond with their security system, which would even put a national bank's security to shame. Tall walls interwoven with a state-of-the-art security grid encircled the entire campus. This wall registers even the slightest touch, sending warnings to U.A.'s security detail.

If someone without clearance or a U.A. identification card attempts to illegally enter through the gate, the large metal doors will shoot from the top and bottom to form a metal seal that is nearly impervious to any type of breaching technology. The veteren reporters know this door well, and have somewhat lovingly nicknamed it 'The Slammer' after the tendency of new and ambitious reporters attempting to cross the gate, only for the gate to slam shut on them, forcing everyone on their asses.

"Keeping the public out. This school thinks it's untouchable, the least they could do Is grant me one interview." The female reporter said, frustrated.

"I know, right? we've been here for two days, and I don't have a single comment on the record yet!" Another reporter agreed.

While they were complaining about U.A.'s strict security and obsession on interviewing All Might, a black-hooded man was watching from afar as he had something in his mind.


Meanwhile, on the other side of the gate...

"Whoa!" Cyrus gaped as he looked up to in awe.

"What's up with the gate?" Kiba asked, eyeing the big closed gate.

"It's a system that locks out anyone without a school ID or a visitor's pass." Aizawa explained, dryly.

Reina looked at the steel door with a raised brow. "Kind of feels like we're in prison now." 

"No joke." Sora muttered.

"Trust me, it's needed to block off those vultures." The teacher muttered as he walked next to Sora.

"Make sense with that logic." Ayumi agreed with that statement.

It was no secret that the media was ruthless when it came to heroes. One bad move on camera or you say the wrong thing and your status as a hero could go seriously down the drain. Some heroes don't care about their public image, but it was a fact that the less popular hero is paid less by the government.

"Now, get to class. You're wasting time standing here." Aizawa said to them.

"Yes, sir." They said before walking off to their classrooms


U.A. High School Classroom 1-A- Morning

The bell rang as every student went to their respective classrooms. It didn't take too long for Aizawa to come through the door of the classroom after dealing with the reporters at the front gate.

Aizawa had a sheet of paper in his hands while standing at the podium as he was about to start class.

"After reviewing the footage from yesterday's exercises, for the most part, your performances were acceptable." Aizawa said to the students in the room before looking right at the explosion boy. "Bakugo, you're talented. So don't sulk like a child about your loss, okay?"

"Yeah, whatever," Bakugo muttered, averting his eyes.

"And Midoriya?" Aizawa called the green-haired boy who went into a nervous state. "I see the only way you won your match was by messing up your arm again. Work harder. And don't give me the excuse that you don't have control over your Quirk. That line's already getting old."

Izuku gritted his teeth as he kept his head down.

"You can't keep breaking your body while training here," Aizawa said. "But your Quirk will be really useful if you can get a handle on it." Izuku brought up his head with a smile. "So show a little urgency, huh?"

"Y-Yes, sir!" Izuku said with determined eyes.

Aizawa continued to go down the list of teams and their individual members before finally arriving on a certain group. "Ukashi, Fukukado, Hado, Mason, and Suzuni. I was informed about the "issue" that took place during your trial. Despite that, you five have managed to complete your objective and demonstrated to the rest of the class how teamwork should look like. Great work."

"Thank you, sir." The Rangers said in unison.

 "Now let's get down to business. Our first task will decide your future." Aizawa informed the class.

'Is it another quirk test!?' They all thought in worry.

"You all need to pick a class representative." Aizawa told the students.

"Oh, good, just normal school stuff!" The students thought together with relaxed smiles.

Kirishima volunteered first. "Pick me guys! I want to be a class prez!"

"I'll take it!" Kaminari said with his hand raised.

"Yeah, you're gonna need me." Jirou said, raising her right.

"Someone with a magnifique style would be the-" Aoyama was interrupted by Mina.

"Pick me! Pick me! For I am the Acid Queen!" Mina announced, jumping around like a child.

"Pick me! And you'll be in heaven... hehe." Mineta creepily said.

"HEY, LET ME DO IT! I COULD LEAD THESE BUNCH OF EXTRAS!" Bakugo shouted as his eyes were white in aggression, and he stood out of his seat.

'In a normal classroom, a representative's duties would just be a lot of extra work, but here in the hero course, there's more to it. It's a way to get picked by agencies and prove you can lead a team like a real pro.' Izuku thought as he slowly raised his hand while everyone kept yelling for them to be the class rep.

"Oh wow, everyone is so tense about this!" Ayumi blinked in surprise.

"I'm not even sure if I want to become one." Sora said with a shrug.

"Mmm, I wouldn't mind being Class Rep..." Kiba hummed in thought, getting a look for Reina.

"Are you serious?" She questioned.

"Ha! No." Kiba laughed slightly as he leaned back in his chair. "Too much work. Plus, it would probably cut into my gaming time."

Ayumi then looked over at Cyrus. "What do you think, Cy?"

"Silence, everyone, please!" Iida shouted as everyone stopped shouting as he looked at him. "The Class Representative's duty is to lead others, that's not something anyone could just do, you must first have the trust of every student in the classroom, therefore the most logical way to fill this position is democratically, we will hold an election to choose our leader!" Iida claimed, raising his hand.

'It's pretty obvious you want us to vote for you.' They all thought in unison.

"Is this really the best idea?" Kaminari asked.

"We've only known each other a few days while some a long time, ribbit. How do we know who we can trust?" Tsuyu asked with a finger on her chin.

"How about a compromise then?" At that, all attention turned onto Cyrus, as he got up to face the class. "There must be checks and balances to the position. If the Class Representative is going to pass a policy, then they cannot do it unilaterally, for that is undemocratic. The policy must be discussed amongst the class and passed with a majority vote of 11, but the policy can be vetoed, in which case the policy must then be passed with a supermajority vote of 15. Additionally, if the Class Representative abuses their power or is deemed unfit for the role, then the class should be able to impeach them and select a new Representative." He explained to the class.

Everybody automatically looked over at Bakugo who snarled like an animal as he was giving everyone a death glare.

"Agreed." Sora, Kiba, Reina, and Ayumi replied unanimously.

"If that's the case, and everyone votes for themselves...?" Kirishima pointed out, trailing off as everyone got the idea.

"Then don't." Cyrus interjected as he spoke again but this time in a serious tone. "Voting for yourself invalidates the entire point of this exercise. And it simply makes you look selfish if you do so. A true leader is someone who thinks about the well-being of others and puts the group before themselves." He said impressing the class.

'Spoken like a true Rep.' Sora thought with a smile.

Iida started chopping the air. "And that's why the person with the most votes will be the best person for the job, no?! Do you approve of this method, Mr. Aizawa?!" He asked the teacher.

"Do what you want. Just decide before my nap's over." Aizawa tiredly said before falling to the floor in his sleeping bag and fell asleep.

"Thank you for your trust." Iida said with a brow.

Ahead of the class, Momo had created a ballot box and 21 small pieces of paper that she handed around to every person in the class, telling them to write down the name of whoever they deemed suitable to be, prompting Bakugo to snap at her about telling him what to do.

"A person who fits being a leader." Cyrus thought, as he instinctively looked back and gazed at Momo, who did the same thing.

Both were surprised to see that the other was looking across the room and seeing that they had the same thoughts as they smiled at one another.

"If anyone deserves to be Class Representative, it's Momo." Cyrus thought that she was perfect for the job as he wrote down her name.

"As much as I want to be the Class Representative, Cyrus would do a better job than me." Momo thought as she thought the Blue Ranger was the right choice as she wrote his name down.


It took less than five minutes for the ballots to be collected and counted to see who will represent the class.

Election Results:

Cyrus Hado: 5

Momo Yaoyorozu: 4

Izuku Midoriya: 3

Sora Ukashi: 1

Katsuki Bakugo: 1

Ojiro Mashirao: 0

Kiba Mason: 1

Shoto Todoroki: 0

Eijiro Kirishima: 0

Reina Fukukado: 1

Tenya Iida: 1

Denki Kaminari: 0

Hanta Sero: 0

Fumikage Tokoyami: 0

Rikido Sato: 0

Mina Ashido: 0

Yuga Aoyama: 0

To Cyrus' surprise, he had four votes. Momo have four votes with Izuku following up with three votes each as Bakugo had one vote which was pretty obvious that he voted for himself.

"I got 5 votes?!" Cyrus thought in surprise.

"How did I get three votes?!" Midoriya was shocked beyond disbelief.

"YOU'VE GOT TO BE FUCKING KIDDING ME! WHO THE HELL VOTED FOR DEKU AND ONE OF THE QUIRKLESS WANNABES?!" Bakugo was furious that one of the Quirkless freaks became the Class Representative, which is the number one spot in the classroom.

Everyone in the class just gave him a 'are you serious' look.

"Well, at least it's better than voting for you." Sero stated.

"WHAT?!" Bakugo yelled.

"It's true. There's no way anyone would vote for somebody as angry as a dog." Tsuyu stated.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY, FROG FACE?!" Bakugo was pissed at the comparison.

"You're just proving her point, dude." Kirishima stated, attempting to calm Bakugo down.

While Bakugo was yelling at the class, Toru and Ochaco were looking at their rights and whistling casually.

"Maybe I'll just keep my vote to myself for now." The two girls all thought.

Iida let out a cry of anguish and faceplanted his desk. "Gah, nobody voted for me! I guess it should've been expected given my insistence."

Shoji just looked at the trembling blue-haired teen in confusion. "You wanted that role so badly, Iida... but what are you doing?"

Mineta gritted his teeth and held a fist to his chest. "I didn't get the position. Dammit! Life is so unfair!"

'"Wait. Then, who voted for me-?" Cyrus began, only for realization to hit as he turned his attention to his team.

Not only had he gotten votes, but he'd gotten five of them! 

"C'mon man." Kiba said with an ear-to-ear grin. "Like we'd vote for anyone else." He then noticed the way Momo seemed to deflate a little. "Eh...no offense, Yaoyorozu!" He added hastily.

"None taken." Momo sighed out, before giving Cyrus a shy grin. "Besides, I voted for you too."

A loud sigh could be heard as Aizawa crawled out of his sleeping bag and cast his tired eyes over the classroom.

A moment later, Cyrus and Momo were standing in front of the class.

"So then Hado is the Class Representative, and Yaoyorozu is the Vice Representative," Aizawa announced.

"Wha- Guys! I told you I didn't want to be the class representative! It's exactly why I was chosen as the neutral party in the first place!"

"But you're the one who brought back order in the classroom," pointed out Reina, a smirk gracing his lips.

Kiba snickered in agreemnet. "And who proposed the voting system."

"But you're the one who brought back the order in the classroom," Ayumi reminded him.

"And you were the MVP yesterdayin the Trial." Sora said cheekily.

"Guys..." Cyrus slumped, scratching his cheeks. "But I guess I'll give it my best shot."

"How reassuring of you leader." Momo said softly, giving him an enchanting smile.

"You got this, bro." Sora reasurred him.

"This might not be too bad." Tsuyu commented.

"You know, I think I'm fine with this." Kirishima stated.

"They are two of the best students when it came to the training and quirk test results!" Kaminari said.

"They got this!" Mina insisted enthusiastically while Iida looked down an ashamed look on his face.

"Anyway, class dismissed." Aizawa said slinking out of the room.

Sora watched him waddle out. "Anybody else noticed that we never actually really do anything in this class?" He asked, and Ayumi just giggled. "No? Okay." Sora sighed, standing up from his desk. "Let's just get ready for the next class."


A few moments later...

It was lunch time, and the students were seen eating lunch in the cafeteria.

"It's always so crowded in here." Mina said.

"That's because students in the support, management, and hero course share the same cafeteria." Tenya answered.

"Makes sense." Jirou said twirling a jack around her finger as she nonchalantly scooped food into her mouth.

"Mmmm. This rice is delicious." Ochaco praised, as she continued eating the dish.

"Mhm!" Ayumi nodded happily in agreement, placing a hand on her cheek.

"Lunch Rush's food is always delicious!" Kirishima said eating his ramen.

Sora, Cyrus, Izuku, Ayumi, Jiro, Momo. Reina, Mina, Toru, Kiba, Tsuyu, Kirishima, Ochaco, and Tenya were all eating together at the same table which was big.

Momo wanted to sit next to Cyrus since they would be working together as class representative and vice representative , and because she wanted to know more about him. Mina sat at their table to get to know Kiba better along with Kirishima, Tsuyu, Tenya, Ochaco, and Izuku who wanted to be close friends with the Rangers.

"Congratulations on getting the position back in class, Hado." Izuku stated.

"Thanks, I guess." Cyrus thanked him while shrugging his shoulders. "But the thing is, I think someone else would've been better for the job than me. I tried getting the role back in my old school, but...it just never really worked out."

"I mean, I think you will." Ochaco spoke with a smile.

"I agree." Kirishima retorted.

"Don't worry, you'll be great!" Toru said as she ate her rice. "Besides, you were the one to get everyone to agree with the voting."

"By the way, didn't you want to be class rep really bad, Iida? I mean you do look the part, because of the glasses." Ochaco stated.

'That's not exactly how we should be choosing our rep.' Everyone at the table thought with a sweat drop.

"Hahaha, glasses..." Mina laughed along with Toru.

"Wanting a job and being suited to it are quite different things." Tenya remarked. "Observing the Iida family's Hero Agency has taught me that much."

"Agency?" The table of students repeated.

"Hold on, what does your family do?" Izuku asked.

"Uh, Midoriya." Tsuyu spoke up. "He said Hero Agency, ribbit."

"Uh...Correct." Tenya confirmed, realizing that he just put some extra attention on himself.

"You're so proper, Iida!" Kirishima complimented.

"Ya know, I've been wondering something about you." Mina said. "Admit it, Iida. You're filthy rich."

"With the way you behave, I wouldn't be surprised if you are." Reina commented to him.

"Yeah, you're always going on about honor and stuff." Kiba stated. "I might be wrong, but are you from an upper class family?"

"He does give off that vibe of someone who comes from a high class family." Ayumi said with a nod.

"Uh..." Tenya looked a bit nervous about the subject. "I was afraid people would treat me differently if they knew about my family."

That comment made Izuku, Ayumi, Kiba, and Ochaco just want to know more as they leaned in, and Tenya ended up budging.

"But if I must talk about such things... then yes. I'm from a family that's been in heroics for generations. I'm currently the second son." Iida said, getting a surprised look from everyone. "Have you ever heard of the Turbo Hero Ingenium?"

"Turbo?" The Rangers immediately thought of the Turbo Rangers.

Izuku's eyes widen as a grin crossed his face. "Of course man! That's the super-popular hero whose Tokyo office has hired as many as 65 sidekicks!" He said in excitement as the others stared at him. "Sorry, I... keep up with a lot of hero news and trivia."

"Nah, that's impressive that you know." Cyrus said, grinning. "So I guess being a hero runs in the family, huh Iida."

"But if your name is Iida, then does that mean...!" Sora said before connecting the dots.

"You're quite knowledgeable." Iida said as he swelled with pride. "But that's correct! He's my big brother!" He said getting a shocked look from everyone at the table.

"That's so manly that your older brother is a hero!" Kirishima was impressed.

"Man, to think someone in our class was actually related to a hero." Jirou muttered with a small chuckle. "I guess that explains why you're always so proper." She said before tilting her head.

"Actually, I think that's more on his own personality," Tsuyu spoke before looking at the tall boy. "So you want to be a hero just like your brother Iida?"

Iida nodded with a smile on his face. "Yes, my brother is known for following the rules and guides the people! I aspire to be a hero just like him."

Everyone at the table gave Iida a smile at his little speech and the type of hero he wants to be.

"That's the first time I've seen you smile, Tenya!" Ochaco commented.

"It looked so cool on you! You should try smiling more often." Toru nodded.

"What are you talking about? I smile all the time!" Tenya confused about what they are saying.

"Nah, you look like more like a grumpy strict grandpa." Mina stated.

"Excuse me?" Tenya gasped.

"You know, he actually reminds me of Sky from S.P.D." Cyrus whispered to his friends, who nodded in agreement.

"So, you, Rei, and Cy can really relate to each other, huh?" Kiba said, looking at Reina and Cyrus. This drew confused looks from their little group.

"What do you mean?" Tenya asked.

Kiba grinned giddily and said, "Well, since we all know about you and your brother and Reina here mentioned being related to Ms. Joke during the class intro. As for Cyrus, he's got a sister that's also a Pro Hero."

Ayumi's eyes widened as she too remembered Nejire Hado before looking at Cyrus. "Oh yeah! Doesn't Nejire go to this school, too?"

"Yeah, she's a third-year student." Cyrus replied as he nodded his head.

"What!?" "Really!?" "No way!?" Toru, Ochaco, and Mina exclaimed respectively. 

"Oh right!" Izuku exclaimed in glee when Kiba mention Ms. Joke." The Smile Hero! Her Quirk is called 'Outburst'! By forcing the people around her to laugh, she impairs their cognitive and motor skills! Her Villain suppression techinques are insane!"

Reina groaned and looked at the group staring at her. She knew it was going to come up eventually, and she knew about Iida's family, so it was best to just get it over with.

"Yeah, it's true." She told them, leaning back in her seat. "And what Greenbean said about her Quirk was pretty much spot on."

Kirishima sent her a bright grin. "Really? That's so awesome!"

"Ribbit. And you have a sister enrolled here, Hado?" Tsuyu asked as she looked at the Blue Ranger. "What's she like?"

 "And why didn't you mention that during the class intro?" Jiro added in with a head tilt. 

Before Cyrus could respond...

*BEEP*BEEP*BEEP*BEEP*

Without any warning, an alarm began blaring in the cafeteria, making everyone jump in surprise.

"What's going on?!" Toru was panicking.

"Security Level 3 has been broken. All students please evacuate in an orderly and calm fashion." A robotic voice said over an intercom. Students in all courses got up in concern, third years especially, as they began running towards the exit.

"Security Level 3? What's that?" Iida asked, looking at the retreating male student.

"It means someone's gotten past the gate! That's never happened in my 3 years here! You should book it!" The third year boy shouted, as the crowd of retreating students got bigger and bigger before it became a sea of students trying to escape, shoving each other as they tried to get out.

"If I remember, was it the media out at the gates early this morning?" Cyrus asked.

"They were standing there asking us questions about All Might... you don't think..." Ayumi said.

"Come on, let's hurry up and get out!" Reina yelled as they jumped from the tables.

"Agreed!" Mina yelled as the group were running down the halls.


U.A - Hallway

"OW! OW!"

"Quit pushing!"

"Lay off, or I'll fall!"

"Quit pushing!

"Who just grabbed my ass!?"

"...Wait, what?"

All the students were making a run for it to the exit. It was getting crowded within seconds. They were trying to push one another out of the cafeteria. They would manage to get in the hallways but it was like a crowded stampede running somewhere very urgent.

"Ow! What is this all of the sudden?!" Ochaco asked while being squished between students.

"Damn." Kiba shouted as his face smashed into someone's back. "This is turning into a full-blown panic."

"Hey, watch where you're touching!" Momo screamed when she felt someone brushing up against her chest.

"Are we under attack or something?" Mina asked as she tried to not fall down and get trampled. "If not, then there shouldn't be a reason to panic!"

"It was too swift!" Ayumi shouted in a peeved tone before someone pushed her face down with their large hand. "Watch the hair!"

"Everyone was quick to react! As expected of UA students!" Tenya praised as someone elbowed his chin.

"Now is not the time for compliments!" Reina shouted before she felt a hand touch her backside. "H-Hey! Someone's touching my ass! That is a whole hand on my ass! It better not be you, Grape Fruit!"

"I understand that they're all worried, but this is chaos!" Cyrus shouted.

"We need to calm everyone- Whoa!" Izuku was interrupted when he was suddenly pulled away from his friends.

"Izuku/Deku/Midoriya!"

"This is ridiculous..." Sora groaned as he was nudged between the shoulders of several students around him. "This has gotten out of hand qui-Ahh!" The brown-haired teen yelled as he was pushed away from the group.

"Sora!" Ayumi yelled, reaching out for him. "Grab my hand!"

"Okay!" Sora grunted and reached out for her. Ayumi grabbed his hand and pulled him towards her. But she pulled him to her so fast that the brunette fell forward, landing right into her chest.

Ayumi let out a squeak as her face turned red instantly with embarrassment.

"S-S-Sora!?" Ayumi exclaimed as her eyes started to swirl.

When Sora looked to see why Ayumi screamed, a mortified look appeared on the young man's face as the orangette looked at him.

"A-A-A-Ayu...! S-Sorry! I swear on my great ancestor's name that I didn't mean it!" He bowed frantically to the girl.

"I-i-t-it-it's fine!" Ayumi sputtered covering her chest with massive blush on her face.

Iida squeezed passed the students to check the windows. "Who on earth...! What's this infiltration about?!" He looks outside the window and sees the reporters standing in front of the entrance with Aizawa and Present Mic calming them down. "Isn't that just the press from earlier?!"


U.A. High School Front Entrance- Afternoon

Outside, the press crowded around Present Mic and Aizawa near the front of U.A. as the two Pros prevented the media from taking another step forward.

"All you have to do is give us All Might! He's here somewhere!" One of the reporters told them.

"We said it's his day off." Present Mic responded, annoyed.

"Just give us one good comment on record and then we'll leave." Another reporter tells them.

"I know how you people work, give you an inch and you'll want a mile." Aizawa replied.

"They are trespassing. That means they're kinda like villains. Why don't we just beat them up?" Present Mic whispers to Aizawa.

"Don't you even think about it. Unless you want your name dragged through the mud. Let's wait for the cops." Aizawa tells him, making him groan.


U.A. High School Hallway- Afternoon

"I was afraid it was some kind of attack on the school, but there's no need to worry, everyone!" Iida says, before being squished into the window he was looking out of.

"You alright, Iida?" Toru asked.

"Whoa, talk about being stuck between a mob and a hard place." Kiba joked to himself.

"Mason, this is no time for jokes! We must stop this chaos before it becomes worse than it has already has!" Iida told him with urgency.

"Ow!" One of the students yells.

"Sorry, I think I..." Another student says.

"Back off!" One of them yells.

"Where are the teachers? Why aren't they taking control?" Ayumi asked out loud.

"Everyone! Stop freaking out!" Kirishima shouted.

"Kirishima! Kaminari!" Iida yells, trying to get their attention.

"The current's too strong!" Kaminari comments, before the two boys are dragged away.

"What should I do...?" Iida asked himself. "What would Midoriya, Hado, or my brother do in this situation?" He was thinking deeply as he felt someone touch his shoulder.

"Iida, what do you see outside?!" Jirou asked.

"It's just the media! They entered the school grounds, somehow!" Iida replied.

"Knew it!" Sora spoke up.

"What?! So there's no villains at all?" Momo asked.

"No, I'm afraid not!" Iida said.

"So there's nothing to worry about." Tsuyu asked.

"Tell that to them." Reina said as the rest of the students were panicking.

"How do we tell them that it's not?!" Mina asked, getting shoved left and right.

'There's gotta be a way to get them to listen...' Cyrus thought before he looked around the hall and saw a bar over the door. 'That's it!' He thought. "Guys, I have an idea!" Cyrus yelled, getting the attention of the rest. "Uraraka, I need you to take Tenya's gravity away and make him float, then Iida will use his engines to push himself to the door and gain everyone's attention!" He yelled out.

"Sounds good to me, Class Representative! Uraraka, touch my hand! Make me float above everyone else!" Tenya replied.

"Okay!" Ochaco says as she reaches for his hand, at first she misses but their hands touch the second time.

Then Tenya begins to float in the air.

"I need a place where I'll get everyone's attention!" Tenya thought as he quickly rolled up his pants legs, revealing his engine-like protrusions on his calves.. "Engine boost, go!" He yelled and begins to spin through the air.

"What are you doing?" Izuku asked him.

Tenya then slams into the wall near the exit, grabbing a pipe to main his balance while standing over the exit sign. "This is it. Be concise, clear, and confident. Make an impact!" He thought before speaking. "Listen up, everything is okay! It's just the media outside. There's absolutely nothing to worry about. Everything's fine! We're UA students. We need to remain calm and prove that we're the best of the best!" He tells everyone as the crowd gasps and begins to calm down.

Iida's actions made everyone calm down as they let out a huge sigh of relief.

Some of the students of Class 1- A were helping out the injured students that were trampled on the ground. Soo, police sirens were heard from afar.

"Look, the police are here!" One of the student's comments.

"Thank goodness." Another student says.

"It looks like the authorities have arrived." Jiro said in relief.

Izuku nodded. "Let's hope that they can take care of this mess."


U.A. High School Front Entrance- Afternoon

Outside at the front gate, the police just arrived to deal with the press.

Present Mic gets the police's attention. "Okay, let the hungry vultures out of our concert!"

"It's a school, not a concert..." Aizawa stated, but his best friend ignored him.

"Goodbye, vultures!" Mic said to the reporters.


U.A High School - Afternoon

With the arrival of the police, many of the reporters were forced to leave. Some of them were even arrested for not cooperating. After getting back to the classroom, everyone sat down as Cyrus and Momo stood in front of the class. "It's time, Class Rep." said Momo. "Let's begin."

"Oh, okay then." Cyrus cleared his throat, "I'm announcing that the Student Council positions will be opened."

As Cyrus announced the news, everyone's eyes were shining brightly. Aizawa was surprised to hear that as well, but chose to listen to it closely. He was amazed that the mildly meek boy was calm compared to earlier.

Cyrus turns his head towards Iida, "And I'm appointing Iida to be the Class Secretary of Class 1-A."

Iida was shocked to hear the news, "May I ask why, Hado?!"

Cyrus smiles, "During the false alarm, you managed to discover the origin of the panic and stopped it. I was going to give you the Class Representative position, but I remember that you told me that you were still learning to be a leader so I appointed you to be the Class Secretary."

Sora, Ayumi, Reina, and Kiba smiled a little at his honesty,  while some murmurs of agreement echoed around.

"Yeah, he's got a point," Kirishima said. "He managed to calm everyone down. Such a manly move!"

"He reminded me of that warning sign you see on the emergency exits." Kaminari stated.

"Your job as the Secretary is to maintain the student body files, prepare agendas for meetings, take and distribute minutes of meetings, type material for student body officers and committee chairpersons as needed, sign all purchase orders, and represent the student body at school district, civic functions, and other meetings as requested by me," Cyrus explained the position. "Do your best, Iida."

Iida smiled and bows in appreciation, "Thank you very much, Hado! I will do my best!"

The students clapped their hands to congratulate. Yaoyorozu sighed in relief when Iida didn't became the President since that's her aim, but she was glad that he became a member. Originally, Midoriya wanted to pass the position to either Yaoyorozu or Iida originally, but his mentor refused as he was ordered to lead the class for a future project that Midoriya is unaware of.

Kaminari raises his hand, "Excuse me, but who are the other members?"

"And that's the challenge," Cyrus said. "Vice Rep, would you mind telling them?"

Yaoyorozu nods, "If Aizawa allows us to extend the session. Is it okay, sir?"

"I don't care what you do, just hurry up." Aizawa said as he went back to sleep. 'This is a waste of time, but considering this is the first time I heard someone opening the Council positions in my class, I'll let it slide for now.'

"Thank you, sir," Yaoyorozu bows, "As you all know, the Student Council helps share ideas, interests, and concerns with teachers and school principals. They often also help raise funds for school-wide activities, including social events, heroic projects, helping people in need and school reforms. So we only choose the best students to be in the positions," She explained. "There are seven positions. The three of them are filled so there's only four positions left."

Cyrus then add to the explanation, "I will be the one to observe anyone fit to be a member. So do your best and work hard."

The students glares at each other for the positions while Izuku was determined to be one of the members.

Jiro raises her hand, "What are the seven positions of the Council Officers and what are their duties?"

"The positions are Class Representative, Vice-Representative, Secretary, Treasurer, Historian, Reporter, and Chairperson," Yaoyorozu answered. "As for their duties, you must ask Secretary Iida for that later."

"Yes. I'll answer your questions later, my fellow classmate," Iida sternly said.

After the explanation, Aizawa gets up from the ground begins his class. He was amazed by Cyrus's confident leadership despite being unsure of being one earlier. He thought that the kid might have been encouraged by his friends.


U.A. High School Front Entrance- Afternoon

After the police forced all of the reporters off of the campus of U.A., mostly all of the staff members were at U.A.'s front gate once stood tall, representing U.A.'s top notch security, now laying a crumbling, rusted relic. The hole in the gate wasn't the most extensive damage by far; it was what was behind that steel exterior that really punched a hole in the gut of the U.A. staff. State-of-the-art electronic security systems that should have alerted the school the moment the gate's systems were in jeopardy failed in the time most dire. While no one was hurt, this was too close a call. Far too close.

Nezu stood by the gate, flanked by Recovery Girl and Thirteen, evaluating the damage. The rest of his staff was busy with the students, making sure everyone was accounted for and safe. Hound Dog was carefully scanning the gate, running his hands gently over the rusted metal and sniffing around the ground. He had been at that for almost ten minutes, but still hadn't reported anything. It was Nezu's worst fear. U.A. was attacked, and they had no leads as to who did it or why.

"Nezu, sir." Nezu, Recovery Girl and Thirteen turned to see Cementoss marching towards them, his usually emotionless face set in grim determination.

"The other walls show no signs of damage. No one got through those walls. There were no climbing equipment pieces found, so they did not scale over them, and a lack of tunnels means they didn't go under them either. Whoever this was, they went through the main gate." Cementoss explained to his boss.

Nezu nodded, and turned his head left to see Midnight marching up with a similar expression on her face.

"I just checked the schedules of our suppliers. The only visitor we were supposed to have was a truck delivering vegetables for Lunch Rush. I already alerted the police and they are investigating it as we speak, but I doubt they will find anything." Midnight said as Nezu shut his eyes and began to walk towards the gate.

"Ken, Nemuri, thank you for your work. Go back to your classes, and take care of your students. They are our first priority." The two heroines nodded their heads and proceeded to go back to their respective classrooms. The principal strolled up to Hound Dog, who appeared to have finished with his own investigation and was shaking his head while dusting off his hands.

"Did you find anything?" Nezu spoke first.

"Grrrr, it's no use! Too many smells, too similar! That mob of reporters lingered here for so long their stench remains! I can't tell anyone scent from another! It would be impossible to discern who was responsible for this by smell alone." Hound Dog growled out. He huffed in disappointment.

"You did your best Hound Dog, and that is all I ask for. It appears we are not dealing with any small-time crooks or back-alley hooligans. We are dealing with 'professionals' I dare say." Nezu walked past Hound Dog, who retreated to join Recovery Girl and Thirteen. Nezu ran his own paw along the rusted metal, feeling the steel crumble beneath him.

"Damn it! I was so engrossed with the Power Rangers, that I grew complacent. Lazy. Incompetent. Now I've paid the ultimate price." Nezu thought in frustration.

They say a man's home is his castle, so for Nezu's case, U.A. was his castle. A castle he took great pride in developing into the number one hero academia in all the world. Yet, there was evidence that one person, or group, was threatening that castle.

'With everything that's happened, I have a feeling that we are going to need the Power Rangers' help for this one.' Nezu thought with narrowed eyes.

To Be Continued...

Chapter Text

(Space - Alsatia's Ship)

"At last, it's complete!" Scrozzle exclaimed as he stepped back to marvel at his new creation with pride.

The electric doors that led to the laboratory area then slid open with a ding. Scrozzle stopped working for a moment due to the distraction and glanced over his shoulder to see the rageful eyes of Igeron.

"Is it ready, machine?" The centaur general asked with an impatient tone.

"As a matter of fact, it is." Scrozzle replied as he gestured to the table, showing his creation for Igeron. It was revealed to be several pieces of silver and red armor lying across the table with a silver helmet with black hair at the top, red shoulder plates, and silver gauntlets with spikes. Lying to the right side of the armor was a sharp, bronze javelin with a deadly mace hanging from the bottom by a small chain.

"I present to you, your new armor." Scrozzle announced, gesturing to the armor. "When I watched your first battle with the Rangers, I constructed this to give you better defenses against them and their weapons."

Igeron then turned his focus on the javelin. "And what about this?" He questioned, picking the weapon up.

Scrozzle walked over and looked at it. "Ahh, yes. Thanks to my genius mind and the resources that her Grace has blessed me with, I was able to forge this mighty weapon with unimaginable power to have no equal."

"'Unimaginable power', you say?" Igeron asked with interest.

"That's right!" The robot inventor nodded before pointing over to a large container. "Just focus your power into your new weapon and point it directly at that container."

Igeron, deciding to humor the robotic scientist, focused some of his power into the weapon he was holding and aimed the javelin end at the container. At least, that was until he looked back and saw a Batzler walk into the room.

A devious look appeared on his face. "I think I have a much better target." He uttered, right before pointing the weapon at the Batzler. The tip of the javelin began to glow with spiraling, royal-blue energy before it shot out as the powerful light illuminated the grunt, and then it was lost from view as the beam of pure energy engulfed it.

The attack exploded with enough force to shake the floor before the light began to fade. Once it did, it was shown that there was not a single trace of the lone Batzler left, as only mere grains of dust remained on the floor.

Igeron's eyes widened from what just happened, and his mouth slowly formed a smile as he was impressed with the results. "Excellent, this will do nicely."

"If you think that's something, wait until you don the gauntlets and greaves of your new armor. You'll have more than enough power to destroy the Rangers, or anyone else, for that matter."

Igeron, after hearing what Scrozzle had said, smiled sinisterly and chuckled darkly. "Perfect. Today is the day I'll crush those humans."

"I should warn you that pouring your power to perform those attacks drains you of your energy -" Scrozzle began, only to be cut off by a dark look from the centaur general.

"You've already done what you've been told, machine. Now, move aside so I can get prepared."

As soon as Scrozzle stepped to the side, Igeron placed his new weapon back onto the table and looked at his new armor as he began to discard his old armor.

'Get ready for our next encounter, Rangers. 'Cause this time, you will all pay for humiliating me!'

U.A High School - The Next Day

Now that the class rep has been decided, Aizawa took this time to address his class.

"Today's training will be a little different," Aizawa said. "You'll have three instructors. Me, All Might, and another Faculty member will be keeping tabs on you.

'Three Pros?'  Sora thought with a hum. 'Is that because of the break-in yesterday?'

The students looked at one another, confused by what he said. Sero raised his hand in the air for a question. "Excuse me, Mr. Aizawa? What will we be doing?" He asked pretty much what everyone was wondering.

Aizawa then held up a card that read 'RESCUE' on it before answering. "Rescue. You'll be dealing with natural disasters, shipwrecks, stuff like that." He explained the training, as some of the class got excited about this.

"Rescue, huh..." Cyrus thought while thinking about the Lightspeed Rangers. "Fighting criminals is one thing, but saving people is just as important."

"Disasters, huh?" Kaminari said a bit demotivated before turning his head to the right at Mina. "Sounds like we are in for a workout."

"Totally!" Mina excitedly agreed with her fist balled up.

"Real hero stuff," Kirishima said while leaning forward on his desk to both Mina and Kaminari. "This is what separates the men from the boys. I'm shaking with excitement." He was looking forward to this next training.

"Well said, Red!" Reina laughed in agreement with him.

"Of course!" The redhead gave her a thumbs up.

"Finally, I get to show how good I am in the water, ribbit." Asui said excitedly while turning to Kirishima and Reina.

"Sounds fun!" Ayumi commented with a smile.

"This exercise may be a good chance for you to use that brain of yours, Cy!" Kiba called out to the Blue Ranger.

"Hehe." Cyrus laughed sheepishly.

"Guys, I'm not finished yet," Aizawa said, bringing the class's attention back to him. "What you wear in this exercise is up to you. I know you're excited about costumes." He pulled out a remote, and out came the numbered boxes. "But keep in mind, you haven't gotten used to them yet. It might limit your abilities. This training is at an off-campus facility, so we'll be taking a bus to get there. That's all. Start getting ready."

With that, the students began to walk towards their individual suitcases, gathering the costumes they'll be wearing for today's challenge. Aizawa grabbed the handle of the door and began to open it...

"Hello!" A familiar peppy and proper voice called as the door slid open.

The hero inwardly gasped once he recognized who spoke to him, "Sir?"

"That's me! The one who could be a mouse, or a dog, or a bear, or a life fiber being, though the only important thing is... ~I'm the principal~!"

"The Principal!?" The students of Class 1-A were given yet another surprise as the head of U.A  had appeared which shocked them all... except for Aizawa, who gave him a raised eyebrow expression.

"To what do I owe this sudden visit?" Principal Nezu waved him off with a smile.

"No worries, this won't take long. I merely came to speak with one of my students, that's all."

"Huh, he wants to talk with one of us?" Kirishima said to his classmates.

"I wonder who it is?" Jiro said while twirling her earphone jack.

Todoroki narrowed his eyes as he gazed over at the Rangers. 'Could it be...?'

"The student I wish to speak with is...Sora Ukashi!" Nezu chirped happily as he gestured to said student, who paused in pulling out his own case.

"Me?" He gestured to himself.

"Him?" Most of the class exclaimed in unison.

Kiba blinked twice. "Huh. Wasn't expecting that." He muttered to Reina.

 "Yeah, I was kinda expecting the principal to speak with us too." She replied back.

"Maybe it has something to do with the break in yesterday...?" Ayumi added her two cents in.

Cyrus hummed at this. "Most likely." 

"Is he in trouble or something!?" Toru questioned the team.

"No, no. It's nothing like that." Nezu assured the class. "There's just something I would like to speak with him about in my office. Once we're finished, I'll have him meet with you before you leave. Is that alright, Aizawa?"

Normally, when someone interrupted his class, Aizawa would be irritated, just like with the press earlier. But this wasn't just anyone. This was the face of U.A. itself. Not only that, he noticed that behind his smile was an air of seriousness in Nezu's voice and if he thought something was so important he needed to talk with several students, especially the Rangers, then he had no reason to interfere.

"You heard him, Ukashi. Go see what he needs, then meet us as soon as possible." Aizawa spoke as he looked at the Red Ranger.

"Sure thing. See you guys in a bit." Sora said to his team, before grabbing his suitcase and making his way to the door, as everyone gave him surprised or confused looks as the Red Ranger left alongside the principal.


U.A - Hallway

"So," Sora began before turning his attention to Nezu as they strolled down the corridor. "What did you want to talk to me about?"

"Ahh, yes..." The tone in Nezu's voice shifted as he placed his hands behind his back. "I'm sure you remember the incident regarding the media?"

"I'm sure everyone around campus knows about it." Sora remarked, folding his arms and narrowing his eyes at the floor. "The gate was completely trashed. Who could have done that?" 

"That's what we're trying to figure out." Nezu said with a disappointing sigh. "But we have no leads yet."

"What about the security cameras? Did they see anything?" Sora asked, his eyes fell on the principal.

"Unfortunately, no." Nezu said with disappointment in his voice. "And Hound Dog can't track the culprit down with his sense of smell because of all the reporters' scents."

The brunette frowned at that as they didn't have anything to go with.

"Whoever did this must have used the media as a distraction so they could break into the school without anyone knowing until it was too late." Sora said. "If only we knew who did this..." 

"I think I might be able to help with that." Katrina's voice spoke from Sora's Morpher. "Before the alarm went off, I felt an incredible amount of negativity coming from the gate. If I can get there, I might be able to figure out what the intruder wanted."

"It's worth a try. Alright, Katrina. See if you can find anything." Nezu said with a nod.


U.A - Front Gate

Soon, Sora and Nezu were outside near the destroyed gate as Sora took a few steps forward to the relic and held out his morpher arm to it.

"Let's take a look." Katrina said before numerous pixels flew out of the morpher and around the gate, swirling around it with a humming sound.

"What are you..." Sora asked before Katrina said something.

"I'm using my energy to sense the aura that was left in the area not too long ago to narrow down the culprit." The A.I. said to them.

"Astounding...!" Nezu complimented in awe.

"Such a strong amount of energy and anger." Katrina said out loud for the duo to hear. She was only forcing on the one aura with the dread she felt earlier. 'So this is the U.A. castle gate, huh? For so long, you have stood unpenetrated. And for so long, you have remained unupgraded. The heroes will suffer for this oversight.' Katrina repeated what was said as the group listened in.

'I need to get these NPCs into the courtyard to distract the guards. Then, I can get to the objective. Kurogiri, the distraction has been set.' Katrina said as the pixels flew around to form a human-sized version of her. "You were right. Whoever did this came here for a reason, and they weren't alone. They had help to get in."

"And while we were dealing with the chaos, the culprits snuck into the school undetected without any of us knowing about it." Sora hummed to himself.

"So, what we're hearing right now was what the intruder was thinking." Nezu said as he found this intriguing. He was lucky enough to have the Power Rangers here.

"But for what purpose?" The Red Ranger asked. "Who would risk breaking into one of the most famous hero schools in the world?"

"Katrina, can you find anything else?" Nezu asked the A.I.

"I'll try, but I can't guarantee anything." Katrina said before waving her hand in the air before it started glowing light blue. "Luckily, the aura of the intruders is still lingering around, so I might be able to track their movements while they were here."

Katrina then saw an energy projection of a man that looked in his 20s wearing an embalmed hand over his face. She walked up to the gate and placed her hand on it.

"So that's how the gate was destroyed. The intruder touched it with his hand and destroyed it with his quirk." Katrina said out loud.

"So it was a quirk at play!" Sora angrily yelled while punching his palm. "I should've known!"

"An age-acceleration or decaying quirk." Nezu hypothesis the situation before looking at Katrina. "Did anything else happen?"

Katrina waved her hand some more to see more energy projections.

Once the job was done, the hooded man stepped away from the destroyed gate as the media stormed into the campus with the intruder leaning on the wall, all while they were not paying attention the hooded man. With the press gone, a vortex opens up next to the man as he walks right into it, disappearing out of sight along with the vortex.

"I got it." Katrina said before explaining what she saw. "When the gate was destroyed, the media swarmed in without paying any mind to the intruder. Then, some kind of portal opened up next to the intruder, and he walked right into it. If I had to guess, this 'Kurogiri' must have some teleportation quirk, which is how they were about to break into the school quickly and leave without you knowing."

"Huh. Well, do you know where they are now?" Sora asked.

Katrina shook her head with a frown. "Sorry, but no. The moment that portal disappeared, I lost sight of their aura signatures. So I can't track them down." She said in disappointment.

"What you provided us was more than enough information." Sora said with a smile. "Now we know what we're dealing with and the name of one of the intruders."

It wasn't much information to go on, but it was better than nothing.

"Those two intruders, they planned this out right from the beginning. They knew the media would be at the school today and used that to break into U.A. to steal something." Katrina said, which made the duo worry. "These aren't your ordinary street thugs. We're dealing with some master criminals with some kind of dangerous plan in mind." She said in a grim tone.

"As if Scrozzle, Alsatia, and her goons weren't enough to deal with..." Sora sighed loudly.

Nezu clenched his paw by his side, griping so hard his arm quivered from sheer exertion. Katrina was right. Those two villains aren't those you could underestimate. They were so used to the peace that All Might gave them that they got lazy and didn't expect someone to attack the school. The principal let out a deep sigh with straightening his back, held his hands behind him, and marched forward with his mind set.

"With everything that's happened, I have a feeling that we are going to need the Power Rangers' help for this one." Nezu said in a professional tone.

"Whatever the threat is, me and the other Rangers will be ready for it." Sora said with a serious expression.

"Agreed." Katrina nodded his head. "Whatever those villains are planning, we'll be ready."

Nezu smiled at this as he put his faith into the right people.

"Yes, we are lucky enough to have the next generation of the greatest team of heroes in our world." Nezu said.


U.A - Parking Lot

After the sudden appearance of Principal Nezu, the students of Class 1-A(minus Sora) changed into of their Hero costumes before standing outside in the front of the U.A building, waiting for the bus that would take them to the USJ. Some students took the time to chat with their peers about homework and other subjects while others simply took in peace and quiet. After all, it's not every day the school alarms suddenly go off because of some reporters.

However, one person who was in deep thought was none other than Izuku Midoriya. Due to his rather...intense battle with Katsuki Bakugo in the Battle Trial, the green outfit his mother had created was burnt to a crisp, forcing the freckled teen to wear the standard U.A tracksuit, though he still had his white and gloves and mouth guard. The greenette was looking down with a thoughtful expression.

'I wonder what Principal Nezu wanted to talk to Sora about? From what everyone else said, that's the second time it happened. I mean, he couldn't be in trouble since his group hadn't done anything to raise any alarm.' He thought, his brow moving like a wave. 'Now that I think about it, they did join All Might and the other teachers in that fight with that strange wolf villain a while back. Maybe All Might knows something...?'

He was then cut off from his thoughts from a couple of voices, causing him to turn and see Reina, Cyrus, Kiba, and Ayumi all suited up in their Ranger uniforms.

"Wow, this kind of feels like a field trip." Cyrus said, adusting his top collar.

"No kidding! I'm very excited, though." Kiba showed his excitement with his eager voice and bright eyes.

It was then that they noticed Izuku standing in front of them. "Izuku?" Ayumi called out as she noticed his attire. "Why are you wearing your PE clothes? Where's your bunny costume?"

Izuku blushed a bit at the description, "W-Well, it did get trashed after the combat training, I'm still waiting on the support company to fix it up."

"Ah, that makes sense." Reina didn't want to say it out loud, but she really hopes he gets rid of those bunny ears. They just don't look cool at all...

"Wait up, guys!" The two turned to see Ochaco running towards them, eager to join her friends. "Oh man, this is so exciting!"

"I'm here!"

The whole class perked up at the voice, causing them to look and see Sora, now donned in his Ranger uniform, running over to them.

"Sora!" Ayumi called out in glee.

"The prodigal son has returned!" Kiba exclaimed in a joking manner.

Reina placed a hand on her hip with a smirk. "About time he got here."

"I guess Principal Nezu didn't want him to miss the bus." Cyrus offered.

Soon, the HF leader stopped in front of his team. "So, what'd I miss?" He asked.

"Izuku's new drip." Kiba replied, thrusting a thumb at said boy.

"Huh."

"So, what happened with Principal Nezu?" Cyrus asked him.

Making sure no one was listening, Sora leaned in. "Well, thanks to Kat, we found out that the front gate was destroyed by someone with a decaying Quirk, and he was the reason for the reporters getting in. He also had a partner with a teleportation quirk, which is how they were able to break into the school quickly."

The other Rangers took a moment to process this, as various expressions spread across their faces.

Suddenly, Tenya blew on a whistle, getting their attention, "Gather around Class 1-A! Using your student numbers, gather around in two straight lines so we can load the bus efficiently!"

Needless to say that some of his classmates looked at him oddly.

"Iida's kicking it into high gears as usual, huh?" Izuku said sweat, dropping as his friend kept blowing his whistle.

"Yo, Iida! Remember that Hado is our class rep, so it's his call, not yours!" Kaminari reminded him.

"Right! I'm sorry, Class Rep!" Iida apologized while bowing to the Blue Ranger.

"It's fine, really," Cyrus said to the boy awkwardly, waving the boy off.


Musutafu Streets - Afternoon

Ironically, the bus was designed in a way that all of Tenya's planning was for nothing. With the students sitting wherever they pleased too, and Bakugo who was sitting alone in the way back of the bus, as no one wanted to sit next to him, which seemed to suit him just fine as he stared out a window into the city with his usual ire.

Tenya was sitting next to Mina as he looked to the floor in shame.

"The bus's open layout ruined my boarding strategy," He said, sulking as he felt like an idiot now for not noticing it sooner.

"Iida, you really need to chill." Mina said to him with a smile as did everyone nearby him, but they weren't smiling to make fun of him.

"You are carrying a lot of tension, man. Learn to relax once in a while." Kiba advised the speedster as he sat next to him.

"If we're pointing out the obvious, then there's something I wanna say. About you six, actually." Tsuyu said as she turned her head to where the Rangers and Izuku were sitting, getting their attention. 

"M-Me? Like what, Asui?" Izuku squeaked at her gaze.

"I told you to call me 'Tsu.'"

"Right, sorry!"

"She's really pushing for that, isn't she?" Ayumi thought.

"Anyways, your Quirk looks a lot like All Might's, doesn't it?" Tsuyu inquired.

"WHAT?" Izuku exclaimed.

Sora squinted his eyes at this. So, it appeared he was right about Izuku being All Might's successor. Something he should inform the team about later on.

"It does?" Toru wondered.

"Weren't you, like, right there when he used it to throw the ball and when he used it to blow the roof of the place during training?" Sero asked. "Literally."

"I was, but I was more worried about one of us getting expelled and not getting hit by falling debris than taking notice of someone's Quirk..." 

Giving a moment to ponder, Cyrus connected the dots. "Now that you mention it, yeah, it does. That's crazy!"

"Re-Really? You think so?" asked Izuku.

"I bet you're happy, huh? Mr. Fanboy." Reina snickered.

"Y-Yeah, I guess I am." "More than you know, Fukukado."

Kirishima holds up a hand. "Hold on a minute. I mean, yeah, it looks so much like All Might's, but his Quirk doesn't destroy his body in the process."

Izuku lets out a breath. "Thank you, Kirishima."

"Oh, you're right," Tsuyu said before turning her attention to the Rangers. "Well, I have a question for you all, and I hope you don't mind me asking you."

"Yeah, what is it, Tsu?" Ayumi asked the Frog girl.

"What's up with this whole Power Rangers stuff?" Tsuyu asked them with a barely noticeable smile. Her question caused everyone else's conversations on the bus to stop, as their attention was now on the team.

Even Todoroki and Bakugo, who were ignoring their classmate's conversations, had their ears open to learning the secrets behind the quirkless group's abilities.

"You know, I've been wondering about that." Sato asked, having been sitting close by. "We hear you guys call yourselves that all the time, but what does it mean exactly?"

"Yeah, so are they like Pro Heroes with their agencies and stuff, right?" Kaminari asked in curiosity.

"It sounded no different than what we see every day," Kirishima added too.

"No." Reina said, getting the attention onto him. "That not what a Power Ranger is."

"Then, what are they?" Shoji asked with everyone who didn't know and wanted to know more about the Rangers.

"Well, it no surprise that you guys don't know," Sora chuckled a bit before speaking again, but this time in a more serious manner. "I want to make this very clear to everyone here is that Power Rangers are completely different from Pro heroes. They fight with no hero licenses or the law telling them what to do, nor do they care about money, frame, glory, or recognition. We're Protectors of the Earth and Defenders sworn to fight because it was the right thing to do." He said, a fond smile as he remembered the past Ranger teams before him and his friends. "It's a title that given to those who are will to go beyond the call of duty to protect everything that is good and true. If I were to put it in short terms, Power Rangers is the title of a type of Hero that will do whatever it takes to protect the Earth and all life on it. But to us who know about them... it's a lot more," He paused for a second to let his words sink into everyone's minds with them, playing close attention to the quirkless boy before speaking up again. "It doesn't matter what they faced, be it evil organizations to straight up demons or gods. And If there was evil that would threaten the whole world, the Rangers would rise up and face it without fear or hesitation. No matter how hard the battles they face, Power Rangers will never gave up and make the impossible possible as they did so many time in the past, all to protect the smiles of the people who can't protect themselves and the wonderful planet they live on. That's the kind of legacy we're trying to live up to every time we call ourselves 'Power Rangers'." He said, a fond yet solemn expression on his face.

Everybody who'd heard his speech about the Power Rangers stared at him with wide eyes... and his team smiled at Sora for giving them a great explanation about the colorful heroes. Hell, even Bakugo had shut up and just listened to him speak, the blonde looking rather pensive for once. At the front of the bus, Aizawa could help but be stunned in utter silence by the speech Sora just made about the Ranger even though they knew their legacy.

Izuku looked on in awe and admiration at the Hero Force Ranger as his mouth hung open.

"Well said, Fearles Leader." Kiba grinned with a mock salute.

"Wait, are you saying there are more Power Rangers out there besides you guys?" Momo asked in surprise.

"Yes, in fact, our team is actually the current generation of Power Rangers." Cyrus said to the rich girl.

"And when our time is up, a new team of Rangers will take our place to carry on the legacy." Ayumi said to them.

The group was incredibly amazed by what they heard. They are a part of a team of past heroes. 

"I see... to think you shouldered such a great legacy of heroes." Tokoyami said in awe. "It's no wonder you guys want to live up to the names they've taken on."

"We're saying this right here, right now. Power Rangers do their jobs only because of their duties, not their desires. If you're with us, we'll stand beside you. If you're against us, you better get out of the way." Sora declared as he glanced around the bus. "Because me and my team WILL do our jobs, and we WILL do it right."

Bakugo on the other hand was quietly listening in on the conversation, while making it seem like he wasn't interested as the blonde boy's scowl grew in annoyance about this Power Rangers bullshit the Wannabe was talking about. He curled his hands into fists at the ridiculous garbage he was forced to listen to.

"Power Rangers and 'true heroes'," Bakugo spat under his breath quietly without anyone hearing him, as he looked out onto the city in the moving vehicle. "What a load of crap." He stated with a growl.

"Geez man, you Power Rangers sound pretty OP, I reckon you're going to make a big when you become Pros with how flashy you all are. I kinda wish my quirk was an augmenting type, so I can have a lot of flashy stuff with it." Kirishima said as he held up his arm as it hardened. "My hardening is super strong. It could destroy bad guys in a fight, but it doesn't look all that impressive."

"Uhh, no way. I think it's awesome looking. You're definitely Pro material with a quirk like that." Cyrus said, disagreeing with him. "There a past Ranger had heard of who had an ability similar to your quirk, Kirishima."

"Whoa, really?! That's awesome!" Kirishima said in excitement after later that. "But I still think it'd be easier if you had a flashy quirk." He said while turning off his quirk.m.

"I wouldn't worry about that too much, Red," Reina told him before continuing. "Flashy quirks aren't all that good as some Pro Heroes make them look. Quirks like yours are more useful for offense, defense, and rescue. Sometimes, flashy Quirks can lead to collateral damage, but a quirk like yours is good for protecting others. Besides, you're likable enough to be popular." She said with a smile that cheers up his classmate.

Kirishima blushed at the compliment, "Thanks, Fukukado!"

"Speaking of flashy, my Navel Laser's got the perfect combination of panache and strength," Aoyama said with his hands on his cheeks.

"But it's way lame if it gives you a stomach ache, sweetie." Mina said while placing a hand on Aoyama's shoulder and making him feel depressed.

"Flashy shouldn't determine our worth as a hero, but our actions instead." Tenya said with most of the people nodding in agreement.

"Well, if any of our classmates have pro Quirks, it's Midoriya, Todoroki, and Bakugo. Plus Ukashi and his team with their Ranger tech." Kirishima said, comparing them.

Bakugou looked over when the red-haired mentioned his name but turned away after with a groan.

"Sure, but Bakugo's always angry, so he'll never be that popular," Tsuyu bluntly said as Bakugo gained a tick on his forehead.

"Yeah, plus he's kind of grade-A asshole without an ounce of manhood," Reina added in, which only made Bakugo even angry.

"Dammmnnnn..." Sora, Cyrus, and Kiba all grimaced at the insult.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY ABOUT ME FROG FACE AND SNARKY BITCH?!" Bakugou shouted while standing up. "I'LL KICK BOTH OF YOUR ASSES!" He threatened the two girls, who weren't fazed by the boy's outburst.

"You see?" Tsuyu said pointing at him not surprised as she stuck out her tongue.

"So predictable," Reina said with a teasing grin.

"You know, we basically just met you. So it's kinda telling that we all know your personality is basically flaming crap mixed with garbage." Kaminari said with a grim look which only fueled Bakugo with even more anger.

"You're just an overgrown anger pomeranian who gets set off over the little of things," Kiba said to him with a grin. "So yeah, you suck dude."

"YOU'RE BOTH GONNA REGRET THE DAY YOU APPLIED TO THIS SCHOOL YOU LOSERS! I'LL KILL YOU!" Bakugo yelled at Kaminari and Kiba.

'I can't believe Kacchan is the one getting teased.' Izuku thought with shocked expression. Although he found it kind of strange that Bakugo was getting picked, as he knew what it was like to be picked on, and wouldn't want that on anyone.

"This is such a disgusting conversation." Momo said with a hand over her mouth while looking repulsed by her classmate's vulgar language.

"Yeah, but it's fun listening to them fight," Ochaco said laughing as she found it funny.

"Plus, you get use to it." Ayumi informed her, shrugging her shoulders lightly.

Aizawa felt the bus beginning to slow down. He looked to the front, and sure enough, they'd arrived at their destination before standing up

"Hey, hey! We're here." Aizawa quickly cut into the conversation, silencing his class. "Stop messing around."

"Yes, sirs/Whatever." The whole class said to their teachers in unison, with Bakugo letting out a 'Whatever' in a more aloof manner as part of him was glad that the ranting stopped. He made a note of exploding the faces of those who insulted him later.


Unforeseen Simulation Joint - Afternoon

A minute had passed by and the buses stop in front of a large dome-like building, with everyone getting off the bus at the front entrance to be greeted by Thirteen who was already there waiting for them.

"Hello everyone. I've been waiting for you." Thirteen said as most of the students were surprised to see this hero here in person.

"It's the Space hero: Thirteen. The chivalrous pro who's saved who has rescued tons of people from disasters across the world." Izuku said with excitement, as inner fanboy was geeking out again.

"Woohoo! Thirteen is one of my favorite heroes." Uraraka squealed with the same level of excitement.

"I can't wait to show you what's inside." Thirteen said pointing at the doors of the USJ. "Please everyone, this way." She said before walking inside the facility.

"This is gonna be awesome!" The classes said together with them following behind the rescue hero.

Once they were in the building, all the students were blown away and amazed by the sight of the facility and its size. There were buildings, mountains, waterfalls, and two mini domes in it.

"How much money does U.A. even have to be able to make this..." Reina thought as he wondered how much it cost to build this place.

"It's huge!" Kiba yelled out as he spread out his arms in a dramatic way.

"Wow! It looks so beautiful!" Ayumi said in awe, as she was breath taken by the view.

"Multiple things in one place! I can keep on looking through the area for the whole month." Sora said in excitement.

"The natural disasters looked more like an amusement park rather than a training ground," Cyrus said looking all over the place with amazement.

"Holy crap. It's like a theme park here." Kirishima said in awe.

"This is getting so fun!" Toru said as she couldn't wait to start.

Thirteen then moved to the front of the group before pointing out each of the Zones.

"A shipwreck, a landslide, a fire, a wind storm, etc. I created this facility to train in different disasters. I call it. The Unforeseen Simulation Joint! But you can call it the U.S.J.!" Thirteen explained with great pride in her voice.

'Just like Universal Studios Japan...' Most of the students thought with deadpan expressions.

"Is she allowed to say that? Legally?" Kiba asked out loud.

"I'm surprised U.A. didn't get sued for copyright infringement." Sora thought as he wondered how U.A. managed to get away with most of the stuff they do.

"Shouldn't All Might be here already?" Aizawa asked as he walked up to Thirteen noticing that someone wasn't there. "Let me guess, he booked an interview instead." 

"Actually it's something else." Thirteen said walking up close to him. "Apparently he did too much Hero work on the way to school this morning and he used up all his power. So he's resting in the teacher's lounge." She whispered to them while also raising three fingers.

"That man is the height of Irresponsibility." Aizawa commented about All Might's behavior. 'Well it should be okay with just the two of us here looking after things.' He thougt before addressing the class.

"Right, clocks ticking, we should get started." Aizawa said with a nod as he moved out of the way to let Thirteen take over the class.

"Excellent! Before we begin, let me just say one thing... well maybe two things... possible three... four or five..." Thirteen began before she trailed off.

"We get it." Most of the students said with a bit of annoyance, as the excitement mode was brought down a bit.

"I swear if you go all the way to thirteen I'm leaving! You can fail me for all I care!" Bakugo shouted at the pro hero, as he was already annoyed with this day as is.

"Okay, okay..." Thirteen awkwardly said before clearing her throat to continue. "Listen carefully, I'm sure your aware that I have a powerful quirk," She said holding up her right hand in front of the class. "It's called Black Hole. I can use it to suck up anything and turn it to dust."

"Yeah, you've used Black Hole to save people from all kinds of disasters before, haven't you?" Izuku stated with joy, as Ochaco was also familiar with it, nodding her head up and down in a frantic manner.

"That's true. But my quirk could also very easily be used to kill." Thirteen said as the two energetic students were snapped out of their happy-go-lucky state of mind with their smiles fading entirely. Furthermore, this also made some of the other students slightly gasp in surprise and particularly drawn to her statement about how her power could be used to kill someone. "Some of you also have powers that could be dangerous. In our superhuman society, all quirks are certified and strictly regulated. So we often overlook how unsafe it can actually be. Please don't forget that if you lose focus or make the wrong move your powers can be deadly. Even if you're trying to do something virtuous like rescue someone." She stated with each of the students listening closely to her words of wisdom.

'Just like our Ranger powers and Tech if we don't hold back.' Sora thought while gazing down at his Hero Morpher.

The other Rangers found themselves frowning too, coming to the same conclusion as their friend/team leader.

Information like that should be a given. Accidents happen in their chosen line of work, the Ranger knew that. However, their classmates seemed to have completely forgotten about that.

Tenya's kick could easily snap someone's neck, Izuku's punches could easily turn someone's insides into mush, Ochaco's quirk could send someone out of orbit, Mina could melt someone easily, even Mineta's quirk could be used to suffocate someone if needed to.

"And it's also no different with the powers of the Power Rangers as well." Aizawa had the same thoughts as his students.

"Thanks to Aizawa's fitness tests, you have a solid idea of your quirk's potential. And because of All Might's combat training, you likely experienced how dangerous your powers can be when used against other people. Carry those lessons over to this class. Today, you're going to learn how to use your Quirks to save people's lives. You won't be using your powers to attack enemies or each other, only to help. After all, that's what being a hero is all about. Ensuring the safety of others." Thirteen said to the students, as most of the class felt inspired by their teacher's speech.

"Thirteen is so cool! I just hope one day I can reach that same level too." Izuku complimented with his eyes shining from the Pro's words.

'Being a hero isn't about being the best or fighting the bad guys, it's about protecting those who can't protect themselves. Which is why I became a Ranger, to begin with.' Sora thought with a determined grin while gripping his fist in determination.

'She's quite inspirational. She could be a leader material of a Ranger team with those words alone.' Cyrus thought while smiling.

She was totally right, these great powers come with great responsibilities and as such must be used to protect people and not abuse them for self-gain.

"That's all I have to say. Thank you so much for listening." Thirteen finished her speech while bowing and stretched her arms to the class.

Most of the teenagers cheered and applauded for such an inspiring speech.

"Right," Aizawa said to his students pointing at the plaza. "Now that's that over-" But the man was cut off by something unexpected.

Completely out of nowhere, all of the power in the facility started to go hayward with the lights in the building flickering much to everyone's surprise.

Then suddenly, a weird breeze of wind blew past Sora's face making him look petrified with his eyes widened, as he felt a sense of danger in the air.

'This feeling...' Sora thought as he felt a chill up his spine...and not in a good way.

But before anyone could say anything, a black vortex suddenly twisted into existence right at the front of the fountain in the middle of the USJ's plaza.

This did not go unnoticed by the homeroom teacher, as Aizawa with his eyes widened in concern and shock before turning his head back down to the center of the area where the portal of darkness appeared.

Sora, Reina, Cyrus, Kiba, and Ayumi also did the same as the Pro hero as their instincts were alerting them to the approaching danger.

The black vortex began to expand larger before taking the shape of a black mist person with bright yellow eyes that appeared to be Kurogiri. Then a hand emerged from Kurogiri's Warp Gate, with the figure stepping out of the black mist and showing themselves with hands all over his body.

The teachers and Power Rangers' instincts immediately kicked in. Whatever this was, whoever emerged from that portal, they were most definitely not friendly.

'That black vortex?!' Sora thought in shock and immediately knew who it was. 'It's them! The ones from the break-in!'

Aizawa narrowed his eyes in great concern before shifting his attention to his students. "All of you! Stay together and don't move no matter what!" He ordered the kids with an urgent tone.

"Huh?" Everyone except for the Hero Force Rangers were confused by what he said.

They all knew this wasn't a good sign because of their experience in already being in dangerous situations.

"Thirteen, protect the students!" Aizawa told Thirteen, who nodded at his request, as the former got ready.

"Everyone, get ready too!" Sora said to his teammates with great seriousness.

"Right!" The Hero Force Rangers said together in unison, as they got in front of the class with very serious expressions on their faces..

The students were confused as to why their classmates and teachers were acting like this as Kirishima got curious too.

"Wait, is training starting already? I thought we were rescuing people?" Kirishima comments, attempting to lean forward.

Reina honestly felt a piece of him snap from the callous statement. Did they truly not realize the situation?

"Are you guys really THAT dense?" She stated in a deathly calm tone but icy harsh, one that attracted the attention of the teachers and students alike. "Why in the hell would they shout for you all to stay put and her to protect you? Clearly, this isn't apart of the lesson." She observed all of the gathered villains with a critical steely glint in her eyes.

Her claim seemed to send a riveting shock to most of the students, all which had been silent until now. They sent each other unsure and confused glances.

"She's right, stay back!" Aizawa shouted while making some of the students flinch in surprise from his tone, as he took steps to the front staircase and putted on his goggles. "This is real! Those are actual villains!"

It seems like Aizawa's words did the trick and all the students let out gasps of shock and fear while some even entered a combat stance, namely the Rangers, Bakugo, and Todoroki.

They thought they were practicing saving other people's lives that day, but when they appeared, every student realized that they were the ones in danger.

And for the Hero Force Rangers, they soon were about to face their their greatest challenge by far.

To Be Continued...

USJ - Afternoon

Bad things were indeed happening. Villains were attacking the USJ facility. Currently, 13 was in front of the students while Aizawa was preparing to fight.

They watched the void the villain stepped out of suddenly morphed as glowing yellow eyes appeared on it, showing that it was actually a person using their quirk to wrap everybody into the UA facility. "The only real heroes I see are 13 and Eraserhead." The wrap quirk user said in an echoey voice. "All Might should be here as well."

"So it's as we suspected. You scumbags used the press as a cover and sneaked onto campus to steal our schedule to learn when and who we will be here today." Aizawa deduced out loud connecting the dots of said instance.

"Where is he?" The villain with all the hands asked as he looked up at where the teachers and students were. "I went through the trouble of bringing so many friends who're eager to meet him. They want All Might. The great Symbol of Peace. I can't believe he's not here."

The hand villain then said something that truly brought fear to most of 1-A. "Maybe if I kill a few kids, he'll come out to play."

Those words made the blood of the students run cold. Their training at rescuing people from natural disasters was interrupted by actual villains, with actual quirks, who actually wanted to kill them

Just then, Aizawa's scarf unraveled and started hovering around him as his eyes narrowed.

"Real Villains? No way." Kirishima questioned in disbelief. "How could so many of them get into a U.A. facility this secure?" He asked wasn't as he didn't understand how they could be so vastly outnumbered.

"The answer to that question is pretty obvious," Sora said getting everyone's attention on him, except the teachers, who didn't take their eyes off the incoming villains. "It's because of the break-in last week." He then got multiple gasps from his classmates who didn't know the truth about the break-in.

"What does that have to do with anything!? I thought it was the press who broke into the school!" Kaminari asked the quirkless boy.

"Think about it for a moment," Sora said to the electric-Quirk user with a head shake. "These villains knew we would be here at this time, which means they were the ones who broke into campus and used the press as a cover to steal one of our school schedules to learn when and where we would be. Plus, that black misty villain down there has some sort of teleportation quirk that lets him teleport him and others to anywhere they want, which would explain how they were able to leave the campus without anyone knowing until the last minute and break into the USJ with an any army of criminals." He pointed out to everyone.

After hearing the Ranger's words, the students were stunned and began to realize that the villains all along who were the cause of the break-in incident last week.

"W-W-We gotta do s-s-something! W-W-We need t-to call back u-up!" Mineta said in a scared tone.

"Wait a minute. If the villains are here. Shouldn't the alarms sound off already?" Toru asked as everyone looked around to see that no alarm went off.

"Yes, that's right," Momo said shifting to the front of the crowd of students. "Thirteen, why aren't the alarms going off?" She asked the hero.

"Good question," Thirteen replied while shifting her head back to the student. "But I'm not sure." She said making some of the students gasp in surprise and concern.

"Most be some sort of jamming device then," Cyrus said figuring out the problem as to why the alarms didn't go off. "Something that would have to be an area of effect quirk, large enough that it could cover the whole building but not too big as to draw attention so as to cut off  means of communicating with the outside world for help."

"Wow!" Kiba said as he glanced down at the villains, with a look of surprise. "They planned for this, knowing we would come here with only a few teachers, but knowing no other hero would come." He said latching onto his friend's idea.

"I couldn't agree with you more on those statements," Todoroki said with a calm look on his face and getting everyone's attention on him now. "Is the entire campus under attack? Or is this their only target?" He questioned mulling over the possibilities as to why there here. "Either way, if the alarm sensors aren't being triggered. Then one of those villains must have a quirk that's masking their presence here. They carefully chose this isolated facility as an entry point at a time when a class was being taught. They're fools for trespassing here, but they thought this out. Whatever their plan is, they must have a primary objective in mind. But what is it?" He finished as most of the class flinched at the idea that the villains had something in mind.

But what is it?

"They're here to kill All Might," Ayumi said in a serious tone, grabbing the teachers' and students' attention. "That's what the hand villain down there just said."

"K-Kill All Might...? That's impossible!" Mineta exclaimed, his legs shaking showing his obvious fear.

"That would make sense," Reina said while pointing out a fact. "They knew we were going to be here with All Might... yet they still decided to attack. No person with even one present of common sense would do that... unless they have a serious plan that could counter him." She stated much to everyone's horrors, but the Rangers, to learn that the villains were here to kill the number one hero.

'That's right,' Aizawa thought grimly, as no one would be crazy enough to attack a school full of Pro heroes without a plan. "That blue-haired villain said the same thing, but how they're going to do it is what worries me." He gritted his teeth thinking about what the villain's plan was to kill All Might.

All Might was powerful sure, but even he had his limits and could be killed. The guy is only human after all.

"That's bullshit!" Bakugo shouted snapping everyone out of their thoughts and onto him. "All Might's the Number One hero for a reason! He never loses, especially to a bunch of shitty villains!" He said dismissing the idea of his idol losing to anyone.

"Yeah, All Might wouldn't let himself get killed by these villains!" Mineta said with the same level of enthusiasm. "There's no way!"

Soon others made similar comments about how it was impossible for All Might to lose. But the ones who remained quiet at the thought of the Symbol of Peace losing were the Rangers and the U.A. teachers as they remembered All Might's condition and how much time he had left as a hero. Also, they weren't that naive enough to believe that nobody can't lose despite how powerful they may be.

"If you all truly believe that, then you kids are naive," Aizawa stated in a slightly cold but serious tone, making the students' protest go silent. He looked at them with his eyes sharper than usual. "I know that this might be hard for you all to accept, but despite all his amazing power, All Might is still human at the end of the day. He isn't a god, he is a man who has his own limits and weaknesses. He can be killed, injured, broken, and get sick just like anyone else in the world." He stated to them while trying to get the point across.

Hearing this made the whole class, except the Power Rangers stand frozen in place with widened eyes as they thought about the Pro's words. Some tried to deny his words, others began to accept the logic, while some were still having a hard time processing the idea of All Might losing to anyone.

Sora glanced back at his classmates and saw the seeds of reality being planted in their minds.  Depsite being heroes in training, they needed to learn that nobody was invincible and that even the strongest can still be defeated too.

But this wasn't the time for that right now. If these villains came here with a plan to kill All Might, then that was even more reason to take action.

"Thirteen," Aizawa said breaking everyone out of their thoughts and stepping forward to the front of the staircase. "Get them out of here and alert the main campus." He said to her but soon realized something. "Actually, if they have the ability to block our sensors. Then they might be blocking our regular communications too. Sunzun8, see if you can get Katrina to warn the school." He told the Pink Ranger.

"I'm on it!" Ayumi said as she held up her Morpher to call for backup.

"Katrina?" The class repeated in confusion.

"Kat, can you hear me?" The Pink Ranger spoke before a hand-size version of said A.I pixelated on the Morpher, shocking everyone except the other Rangers and teachers.

["I do, Ayumi. What's going on?"] Katrina asked. 

"The USJ has been invaded by Villains and they're the ones from the break-in. " Ayumi told her. "Can you inform the school about what going on here?"

Katrina nodded to her with a serious expression before nodding.

["Right, leave it to me!"] The A.I. said before vanishing in a burst of pixels , as she teleported to U.A. for help.

 "Umm, who and what was that?" Jiro asked the Rangers in confusion.

"Our mentor." Cyrus answered as he looked at them.

"Whoa, you're mentor?! The one who made you and the others into Rangers?!" Sero asked in surprise.

Bakugo eyed the team in suspension and anger as he clenched his teeth lowly.

Sora held up a hand. "I know you all have a lot of questions about what you just saw, but we've got more important things to worry about right now."

"It won't take long before the other Pros arrive, but we still can't relax just yet." Thirteen said gazing down at the incoming villains who were getting closer to them by the second.

"Then I'll hold them off until then" Aizawa said with his focus on their leader with the blue hair standing next to the bird-looking thing.

Sora saw what his teachers had in mind and he didn't like it one bit. "Wait, Eraser!" He called out, making the pro-hero look back at him. "We're coming too." He said seriously with his teammates in agreement.

"No, we won't allow you kids to put your lives in danger, we're the only teachers and pro-heroes here," Aizawa said to them in a stern tone.

"Are you serious right now? You know what we're capable of." Reina said to him with an irritated tone. "We fought against things way worse than those villains down there."

"She's right." Cyrus said joining the conversation. "Our strength will be greatly needed for you to deal with these villains more easily."

"And I don't think they'll give us much of a choice," Kiba said in a low tone while looking at the villains.

"Which is exactly why you need to protect everyone else," Aizawa said making the Rangers pause for a moment as he continued to speak to them. "You said it yourself, they knew about us being here and planned this attack out. Even if we do escape the building, chances are they might have another group outside waiting to ambush us to cut off our escape route." He said to the Rangers firmly.

This made the young heroes in training widen their eyes in shock as they never considered the possibility of an abuse waiting for them outside.

"I didn't even think about that," Ayumi said in a low tone with her head hanging down a bit.

"That's why I'm trusting you Rangers with the students' safety while I deal with this villain mess until backup arrives." Aizawa finished his explanation.

"But still, what are you going to do facing that many villains?!" Izuku asked his teacher with worry. "You can't fight them on your own! There's too many of them. Even if you can nullify their quirks, your fighting style's not suited for this. Your power works best in stealth and one-on-one fights. That's not going to help with a group." 

"Seaweed's got a point. Taking on that many will eventually wear you down and leave you dedefenseless." Reina said seeing her classmate's logic.

"At least let some of us stay with you to fight those villains." Cyrus protested to the Pro.

"I agree with them, please don't do this sir." Ayumi pleaded with him.

"Let this be another important lesson for you kids to learn. You can't be a Pro if you're only a one trick pony. I thought you would know that, Problem Children." Aizawa said to the Rangers before giving them a tiny grin on his face. "I may not be a Power Ranger, but I'll be damned if we're going to let these villains harm any of you." He stated in a serious matter.

Sora looked at his teacher and could tell he was serious.

Eraser Head may say like he doesn't care at times, but he truly care for his students which is why he's so hard on them to prepare these kids for the real world when they make it as heroes. That's why he wasn't going to let a couplr of villains harm his students before they had a chance to shine.

Sora can only just sigh in defeat before speaking. "Okay, we'll leave these villains to you and protect our classmates if there are more enemies waiting for us outside." He said to him.

"Good." Aizawa said to the students with a relieved tone at how they listened to them. "I'll leave it to you, Thirteen," Aizawa said to his peer, as Thirteen nodded in response before his gaze fell on the Rangers. "And Rangers... keep everyone safe for me." He said getting a nod from the team too.

Aizawa launched himself down towards the villains at incredible speed much to the Rangers' suprise that their teacher was slightly faster than they thought. Meanwhile, the villains couldn't recognize the hero.

"All right, firing squad! Here we go!" The villain with gun fingers yelled.

"Who's that guy? Didn't they say that the Pro Heroes here are Thirteen and All Might?" The woman with long silver hair asked.

"Buggered if I know!" The villain with an ox horn and gas mask answered. "But he's seriously hurtling himself towards us by himself."

"WHAT A DUMBASS!" The villain with gun fingers stated.

The three of them prepared to use their Quirks against the unfamiliar hero. Aizawa then used his Quirk which redden his pupil as the villains' Quirks were deactivated.

"Huh? It won't shoot..." The villain with gun fingers said.

"What the hell happened to my Quirk?!" The oxe-horned villain said as the three of them were grappled by Aizawa's cloth, thrown into the air, and slammed them against each other with full force.

"You idiots! That guy is Eraserhead!" A villain warned. "He can erase Quirks by looking at them!"

"Eraser?" A humanoid rock villain with multiple arms wondered as he ran towards Aizawa. "Can you erase Mutant-Type Quirks like mine?!"

"Nope, I can't!" Aizawa said as he dodged the attack, grabbed the rock villain, and slammed him against other villains. "But, you guys..." He grabbed the other villain's leg with his scar and threw him into other guys while continued delivering punches. "Are more likely to engage in close combat!" He used the same villain he grabbed and slammed him to another group of villains. "Which is why I devised a counter measure."

The ring leader of the group was spectating the hero's Quirk and combat prowess near the fountain while the giant creepy creature was standing besides him.

"He is extremely skilled in hand-to-hand combat and we can't tell whose Quirk he's erasing because of the damn goggles," The hand-masked villain said while scratching his neck aggressively. "So that's the reason why these mass of idiots aren't taking down easily. Pro Heroes are such a pain! We wouldn't stand a chance against him if were were rabble."


Back up at the staircase to the entrance, Sora, Cyrus, Kiba, and Izuku couldn't help but be amazed at the fight down in the plaza.

"Whoa, he's holding them off. I guess I shouldn't have underestimated him." Izuku said in amazement as he watched their homeroom teacher handle the mob of Villains. "Mister Aizawa is even stronger than I thought.'

"Man, he's kicking some serious ass down there." Kiba commented out loud at witnessing Aizawa's fighting skills.

"He ay not be Ranger, but he differently earned his titles as a Pro hero."  Cyrus said as he was beyond impressed by the U.A. teacher.

"No joke." Sora agreed. "I wonder....was he holding back during our fight?"

Despite being outnumbered and outpowered, Aizawa was pushing the villains back with near ease.

Sora then shook his head and hardened his eyes at his friends. "Come on, guys. He's got this under control." He said to the trio, breaking them out of their thoughts.

"Right!" They nodded back in agreement before they ran back to the exit together with their whole class and Thirteen.

However before they could get close to the exit, a circle of black smoke suddenly appeared on the floor and rose up from the ground while growing in size. Seeing this made the whole group come to a halt with Thirteen gasping in surprise and some of the students of 1-A to freeze in shock or fear.

"There is no escape for you." The portal villain said. "It's a pleasure to meet you. We are the League of Villains. I know it's impolite, but we decided to invite ourselves into this haven of justice to say hello. And besides, isn't this a fitting place for All Might, the Symbol of Peace to take his last breath?"

"I believe he was supposed to be here today, and yet I see no sign of him. There must've been some sort of change in plans we could not have foreseen. Ah, well, in the end, I suppose it doesn't matter. I still have a role to play." The portal guy continued, only for a few blaster shots to force him back. "Well now, this is interesting."

The source of the blaster fire was Sora who had his blaster in hand and pointed at the portal man.

"You came an awful long way to be disappointed!" Sora shouted. "All Might isn't here! So, you're wasting your time."

Suddenly, Bakugo and Kirishima charged right at the villain with Kirishima attempting a punch and Bakugo creating a large explosion.

When the smoke began to clear, the two who charged could be seen grinning as Kirishima said. "You think we were just gonna stand there and let you tear this place to shreds?" The hardening quirk user stated with his arms raised, ready for anything.

But, when the smoke began to fully clear, they saw that Kuorgiri didn't even seem fazed by their attacks. "You live up to your school's reputation." The villain complimented as a metal brace could be seen around his neck area. "But you should be more careful children. Otherwise, someone might get hurt."

"You two, get out of the way! Right now!" 13 ordered as they couldn't use their quirk with the students in front of them.

But it was too late as Kurogiri quickly started to spread his mist around the area, trapping everyone as he said. "I'll scatter you across this facility to meet my comrades and your deaths!" The wrap quirk user yelled as the students were suddenly being covered and submerged in the black and purple mist.

Inside the black cloud, the entire class's vision was covered as they were wrapped in darker forms of the mist that formed a massive dome-like shape mist.

"Crap, what is this?!" Kirishima asked while he and the others shielded they're faces with their arms.

"I can't see anything!" Cyrus yelled out while having a hard time seeing.

Sora could feel himself beginning to sink towards the ground and the mist was making it hard for him to move as he noticed that his classmates were beginning to sink as well. As he began to sink, the boy took notice that some of his classmates took action before being swallowed up by the villain's quirk.

Iida jumped into action as he ran then took both Uraraka and Sato out of the mist. Shoji grabbed Sero and shielded him with his body. Kiba pulled Mina and Thirteen by their shoulders and dragged them out of the mist in time too. The ones who were unfortunate were sucked into the fog as it forms a dome.

The lucky ones who made it out in time began to take notice of the mist dome in front of them that held their classmates.

"What's going on?" Iida asked in worry.

"Our classmates are still in there! We gotta get them out!" Mina yelled out in a panicked tone.

"No! If we go in there, we could be teleported with them as well!" Sero shouted in concern.

"So we're just gonna stand here and let it happen?!" Ochaco asked while standing on her knees.

"We got no choice! Otherwise, we'll just get sent away too!" Kiba said as the students looked down, not knowing what to do at this point as the students from inside were about to be teleported away to who knows where.

"It's gone," Shoji said in frustration at his classmates being teleported away by the warp villain.

"What did you do with them?!" Thirteen demanded, aiming a finger at the villain, readying her quirk.

"You need not to worry, hero. I just scattered your students across this facility, as our forces will be sure to take good care of them." Kurogiri said ominously in a cold tone.


Landslide Zone- Afternoon

Meanwhile, one of Kurogiri's Wrap Gate manifests itself above the Landslide Zone, a zone that simulates sloped terrain with building remains. Soon, Sora and Ayumi both emerged out of the black vortex and began to fall down to the ground.

Thankfully, Sora landed straight on his feet like a cat while in a kneeling position as Ayumi landed on her feet. "Well, that was not on my agenda today! Flying through the air by a portal was not planned!"

"Where exactly are we?" Ayumi asked, noticing the area they were sent to was a sloped terrain with various debris scattered around the area.

"The Landslide zone." Sora muttered to himself as he took in his surroundings. "I think that portal guy scattered us all over the place."

Ayumi looked around to see if more of their classmates teleported around them. However, she didn't seem to find anyone. "Oh no," The teen let out. "I hope everyone's all right."

Then a sound from behind them made both Rangers immediately materialize their Brave Blasters while turning around to point them at the person. They suddenly stopped when they saw it was Todoroki who seemed to have made a blade of ice, pointing it at them.

"Todoroki!?" Ayumi exclaimed in surprise as she lowered her blaster. 

"Oh, it's you," Todoroki said, a little relieved as he got rid of his ice blade. "Apologies, I'm a little on edge right after everything that's been happening." He told them.

"I don't blame you," Sora said lowering his own weapon,  as he wasn't upset by his classmate's actions. "So, you got sent here too?"

"Yeah, that's why I came over." Todoroki stated looking to the left. "And since we're still in the USJ, then it's safe to say that the rest of our class might have been scattered around to different zones like us."

"Hey guys!" The trio turned their heads at the voice calling out to them, only to see a pair of floating gloves waving at them as they made their way to them. "It's good to see you here!" It said, revealing to be Toru.

"Hagakure!" Ayumi said as she moved over to the invisible girl. 

"So you got sent here too then?" Sora asked as he didn't see anyone else with them.

"So it seems," Toru said with a sigh. "Looks like that misty guy must of separated us from the others. But why do that?" 

"To pick us off one by one. Thought it would be easier to overpower us in smaller groups." Todoroki answered most to her discomfort.

"That makes sense..." Ayumi said, placing a finger under her chin.

"Hopefully the rest of our class got sent somewhere that will give their quirks the advantage." Sora thought out loud.

"Putting that aside for the moment, you really think these villains can kill All Might?" Toru asked as some had unsure looks on their faces. "I just can't imagine the idea of someone as strong as him being killed..."

"They seemed sure about it or else they never would have come here. But whatever their reasons it doesn't matter." Sora said with a serious tone. "I say we locate the others and plan a counterattack on these villains." He suggested.

"Hey, there's a couple of the students over there!" The U.A. students stopped talking and suddenly turned to see a group of villains before them, down below a landslide.

"Villains!" Toru screeched at the sight of the criminals while hiding behind the trio.

"And wouldn't you know it...that mist villain dropped something else off here right along with us," Sora said in an annoyed tone.

"If he did the same to us then we have to assume he did the same thing to the others," Todoroki said with narrow eyes while stepping up in front of the group, ready for a fight.

"My thoughts, exactly," Ayumi said, getting ready to fight too.

"Heh, just a bunch of kids! Easy pickings!" A random villain said with a cocky attitude.

"And one of them is a girl! I can't wait to have fun with her!" Another villain commented before licking his lips in a disgusting matter while looking at the female among the kids.

"Eeeeeh!" Toru lets out an uncomfortable noise.

 "Keep that creep away from me!" Ayumi shuddered in horror.

"Okay, now I'm pissed," Sora said darkly while glaring at the villains. "Hey Todoroki. Since your quirk work well at immobilizing your targets, can you take care of the villains on the left while me and Ayumi deal with the others on the right?" He asked getting into a fighting stance.

"Okay," Todoroki said while glaring down at the villains hard with a cold expression.

"Hagakure, stay away from the fighting until this is over," Sora said as the invisible girl didn't have any combat training just yet at taking down these enemies.

"R-Right! I'll leave it to you guys then!" Toru said as the girl knew that she would only be in the way since she didn't know how to fight quirkless.

"Ready for this, Ayu?" Sora asked the Pink Ranger with a small smirk.

"Yeah, let's do this!" Ayumi replied back as she readied herself for the enemies in front of her.

Then the two Rangers sprinted off towards the enemy with the grunts doing the same, as they engaged in combat with each other.


The Collapse Zone

The collapse zone truly looked like a disaster. It was a zone that pretty much looked like a destroyed city. Fallen and broken buildings and structures. Hazardous objects and cracks in the ground and even large and deep pits.

Overall, a completely devastated city.

And currently, some of Class 1-A's most destructive students were there.

"DIE!" Bakugo yelled as he exploded a villain right into the wall.

Kirishima had his arms hardened and just destroyed a villain's sword and quickly knocked him out with a hard punch to the villain's nose.

Reina grabbed a third villain's head and slammed it into her knee before nailing him in the gut and then sending him launching with an uppercut.

"Think that's the last of these guys." Bakugo said as he and Kirishima took some deep breaths with Reina cracking her neck. "Buncha weaklings."

"Alright, let's hurry and find the rest of our class." Kirishima said as he unhardened his hands. "If we're all still in the USJ then everyone else probably is too. And not all of them have the offensive skills we do. We gotta make sure they're safe. Especially since Bakugo and I screwed things up when we got in the way earlier. If 13 had been able to suck up that villain, then we never would've been separated like that. We have to make it up to the others."

"I can get behind that." Reina quickly agreed as she started to walk towards the door. "Afterwards, I can reach my out to my team so we can counterattack."

"You two wanna track everyone down, have fun." Bakugo said as the Black Ranger stopped and looked at him. "But I'm gonna go destroy that warpy bastard!"

Kirishima gasped in surprised as Reina started glaring at the ash- blond with intense eyes with the former saying. "Our physical attacks didn't hurt that guy. C'mon, don't be an idiot man."

"Shut up!" Bakugo snapped at the red head as he said. "He's their way in and out. If I cut off their escape route, they'll be stuck here and have to pay for what they've done. We'll just have to figure it out."

"Well, have fun getting your petty revenge." Reina told him as both boys snapped their heads toward the blond as she suddenly reached her hand out and grabbed something. Suddenly, choking sounds could be heard as a chameleon villain became visible with his neck in Reina's grasp.

Reina quickly disposed of the villain with a strong punch to his head and sending him into the wall, which shattered upon impact. "Meanwhile, I'm going to protect our classmates after YOUR screw up. Sure, most of these villains are weak thugs, but that doesn't mean they won't try to overwhelm the others with numbers. And I'm gonna do what I can to help our class take them down."

Reina then started to walk out before turning her head back to them and saying. "Try to avenge your pride if you want, but I'm gonna be a hero and save my classmates."

After she left, Kirishima looked towards Bakugo but flinched when he saw the ash-blond had an extremely ticked off look on his face. He then smiled nervously as he pointed his thumbs towards the exit. "I'm just...gonna follow her."

Kirishima then quickly followed Reina out. Bakugo stood there for a second before clicking his tongue and ultimately following as well.


USJ - Mountain Zone

"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!" Kaminari screamed as he ran away from a villain that tried to punch him into the rocky terrain of The Mountain Zone.

Currently he, Jiro, and Momo were fighting off hordes of villains. Well, the former duo were fighting while Kaminari was just trying to stay alive. Momo had used her quirk to make herself and Jiro some weapons while Momo didn't hand Kaminari anything since she figured he could just use his quirk to fight. 

"This terrifying! My life just flash before my eyes! I think I saw the Grim Reaper! What's going on?" The yellow haired teen panicked as he ran for his life.

"Could you maybe take it down a few notches?" Jiro said in an annoyed tone as she focused more on defeating the villains in front of them and not her friend's outburst.

"Right now, we need to focus on getting away from these enemies." Momo added in as she gripped her staff tightly.

"Then can you pull out a weapon for me to?" Kaminari asked as he turned to the creation quirk user.

"You're the one with electrical powers." Jiro pointed out. "Can't you just zap'em so we can run?"

"Were you not paying attention during combat training? Some partner you were!" Kaminari snapped as he started explaining how his quirk actually worked. "I can cover my body with electricity. But if I try to shoot it out it'll go everywhere! I'd take you guys down along with them! Or did you want shock treatment today?"

Kaminari then grabbed the earpiece he had and said. "I can't even call for help because there's still interference jamming the signal." He explained before giving them a thumbs up. "I'm counting on you two. I'm no help in this situation. You gotta get us outta here. Please!"

"You're a real damsel in distress, aren't you?" Jiro told Kaminari sarcastically. 

Suddenly, a villain from another cliff was sneaking behind them before jumping down to attack Jiro. But then...

BASH!

Cyrus came swinging in with a kick to the villain's head, sending him flying away. He then landed on the ground in a crouch, before turning to face the trio

"Momo!"Cyrus said, turning towards her. "Are you guys okay?"

"Cyrus!" Momo said with a look of relief. "I'm glad to see you're okay!"

"Thanks for saving our backs, dude!" Kaminari replied with a smirk.

"About time we got back up!" Jiro huffed, seemingly stressed out when they were surrounded.

"Yeah, sorry about that. I had some problems of my own," said Cyrus, standing in a fighting stance. "Listen, I've got an idea. Momo, can you create an insulation sheet strong enough to deflect Kaminari's electricity?"

Momo nodded with her head. "As long as it's non-living, I can do it." She said, having a clear idea of what Cyrus' new plan was. 

"Wait, what are you gonna do?" Jirou was taken aback, clearly not expecting that the Blue Ranger is going to do something crazy.

Cyrus ignored the question as he turned around and started running up the side of the cliff, surprising some of the villains. When he was halfway up, he jumped off and flew through the air over the enemies. "Pulse of the Stream!" Cyrus shouted as he thrusted his hands forward as a burst of water came out of them, hitting the villains and leaving puddles around on the ground.

When he landed on the ground on the other side of the battlefield, he turned to Momo and yelled. "Do it now!"

"Okay, I'm ready!" Momo said, standing near Jiro and bending her back. Jiro gasped when she saw the busty teen's back move. It took longer to create a big object, but soon, a large street of 100 mm thick insulation popped out of her back, tearing her outfit.

Once it covered the girls, Cyrus looked to Kaminari and yelled. "Kaminari, now!"

Even though a little bruised up and bleeding from the nose, the blonde boy grinned. "Badass. Now I don't have to worry about hurting my friends. You guys are fried!" He shot his lightning down onto the water, electrocuting everyone, and everything in the water, except for the U.A. students who were safe under the sheet. The criminals in the water all screamed in utter agony before soon passing out from the pain and the lightning subsiding, but the water still conducting some electricity.

"Now then, I'm worried about the rest of our class," Momo said, peeking out of the sheet.

Cyrus ran over to the insulation sheet. "Hey, you guys okay?" he asked, but when he arrived, he gasped out loud in shock. Momo's dress was ripped in the front, leaving her large breasts out for everyone to see. The sight of his friend's boobs left Cyrus blushing wildly behind his glasses, with his eyes growing large. 'Holy Morphin Master!'

"Don't just stare at her, Hado!" Jiro shouted, hugging Momo to cover her exposed chest.

"A-Ah right! I'm sorry!" Cyrus yelled and turned around.

"Don't worry. I can make new clothes." Momo said with a bit of a blush. Embarrassed that Cyrus saw her boobs, but was relieved to see him look away.

While looking away, Cyrus noticed Kaminari just kind of walking around. A better look would reveal that the blonde boy was giving thumbs up with a weird look on his face. Laughing stupidly. It was like he short-circuited his brain and became dumb.

After Momo just finished making her new clothes, everyone gathered around. "Alright, listen up. We know that some of our friends are trapped in the other rescue zones, so our plan is to help them out so we can get everyone to safety and fight off the villains until All Might returns. We should split up into teams of two."

"Yeah, that's a good plan. But we got one problem...." Jiro looked at Kaminari, who was still being dumb. She found it funny and tried to hold in her laughter. "He's gonna be like that for a while, so right now he's just a liability."

"Okay then, you take Kaminari to the entrance and help anyone that's still there," Momo said. She turned to Cyrus with a serious look on her face. "I think the nearest zone is the Landslide Zone, so we'll head there and get everyone to help out. If anyone's too injured to fight, then we'll have them go to the entrance."

"Okay. We'll tell those at the entrance where you two are going." Jiro said, placing Kaminari's arm around her shoulder. 

"Alright, but please be careful when you go there. Let's go!" Cyrus commanded and the two teams split off. As Kaminari's team made their way to the entrance, Cyrus and Momo began to make their way  towards the Landslide Zone. 

To Be Continued...

U A High, Teacher's Lounge .

"AHAHAHA!" A loud manly voice can be heard from outside before the door slammed open abruptly, revealing All Might in his teacher's clothes. "I AM HERE! JUST IN THE NICK OF TIME-!" Once he finished, he automatically reverts back to his true form and collapses on his knees.

"Damn it. I was busy doing hero work that I lost track of time." All Might answered with a sigh. "My speed has gotten slower, and my powers have weakened since I gave One for All to Young Midoriya."

He then pulled out his phone and saw that none of his calls were answered. "I still haven't been able to reach Thirteen or Aizawa. Then again, they are teaching at the USJ... Maybe I can show up and say something inspiring.

Nodding to himself, the hero stood up. "Okay! Time to join my students!" All Might grunts a bit before changing into his hero form.

"Hold your horses." The Pro Hero turns around to see the door opening, revealing none other than Nezu walking in with a smile.

"H-Hello, Nezu sir." All Might greeted nervously.

"That's right." Nezu smiled as he raised a hand up. "I could be a mouse or a bear or a dog, though the important thing is... I'm the principal!"

"It's good to see you again, sir." All Might said as the principal walked up to him. "What brings you here?"

"I came here to discuss with you." Nezu said as he took out a tablet as it shows the news of All Might solving crime within one hour.

"I-I'm sorry! I was so caught up in heroics that I lost track of time!" All Might exclaimed with a sweatdrop.

"The fault doesn't belong to you, All Might." Nezu reassured calmly. "It mainly belongs to the ruffians causing trouble in this city despite you being here. However, you have to learn not to react every time you hear of an incident."

All Might froze in awkwardness while Nezu walked past him as they both sat down.

"First being a Pro Hero, then being a teacher, and now training Midoriya?" Nezu listed on as he poured himself a cup. "I understand that you love to prioritize saving people, but I believe it's time to prioritize your teachings more. Besides, with Ms. Katrina and the Power Rangers with us, I'm sure it'll lessen your burden."

Before All Might could say something, a beeping sound echoed through the room and slightly startled him minus Nezu.

"Speaking of which..." Nezu waved it off as he quietly pulled out a circular device from his pocket, which was the source of the beeping. He then pressed a button on the object to answer the call when a familiar voice spoke first.

{"I apologize for interrupting Principal Nezu, but we've got an emergency; it's urgent,"} Katrina announced through the device, which caused the duo to blink in confusion. {"The USJ is currently under attack by the very same villains from the break-in!"}

Upon hearing this, Nezu and All Might were shocked to the core. "WHAT!?"

"What do you mean it's under attack!?" The latter exclaimed, shocked. "What about Aizawa and Thirteen!? The students!?"

{"They're holding the enemy back, but I'm not sure for how long."} The A.I. informed them.

Nezu narrowed his eyes firmly. "Then, let's not waste any more time! I'll inform the other teachers and Police Force about this and head there."

"Principal Nezu..." All Might began, buffing up into his hero form. "I know you told me that I should prioritize my teachings more than saving people, but right now, my students need me."

 Nezu looked at the man in thought. While he would've preferred All Might stay and rest to save his strength, he knew that they were going to need him for this fight.  "I understand, All Might." he finally said, giving the man a nod.

With that, the Symbol of Peace rushed towards a window and launched out of the school at high speed, which made the pro look like a blur.

"Now then," Nezu said as he made his way out of the room. "Time to assemble everyone."


USJ - Landslide Zone

Meanwhile, Sora, Ayumi, and Todoroki had all just finished their fight against the villains they were fighting.

"So, your plan was to scatter all of us around and kill us one by one?" Sora spoke out out to the ice-covered and beaten enemies before him. "You guys were terribly underprepared."

"It looks to me as though they've had no training. They haven't the slightest idea how to use their quirks." Todoroki pointed out as a deep sigh with icy mist escaped from his mouth.

"Underestimating us because we're high schoolers, a bunch of morons," Ayumi commented about the turnout of this fight.

Once the danger had passed, Toru ran up to the others with a smile.

"Nice going, guys! You three really showed them, huh?!" Toru happily said as she enjoyed watching her classmates kick bad guy butt.

'Where is he? Where's the Symbol of Peace? I went through the trouble of bringing so many friends who were eager to meet him.' Shigaraki's word echoed in Shoto's mind.

'How do they plan to kill All Might? At first, I thought they'd gather an elite force of criminals who are capable of overpowering him.' Shoto thought as he walked down the hill.

Unbeknownst of Shoto, a red skinned villain attempted to stab Shoto in the back with a knife, only to kicked by Sora. Shoto turns around to see what happened and looks up at Sora while freezing the villain with his quirk.

"You're welcome." Sora smirked.

"I could've handled that myself." Shoto sighed. "But I appreciate the assistance, Ukashi."

"Damn... you..." The frozen villain grumbled.

"Finders keepers!" Ayumi shouted as she dashed past the frozen villain, swiping the frozen knife out of his hand. Her face turns blue, and her eyes widen from how cold the frozen blade is, prompting her to drop it on the ground. "Eek! How cold is your ice, Todoroki!?"

Shoto simply looks at Ayumi before saying- "I never even thought about how cold my ice is."

"It didn't even occur to you!?" Ayumi and Toru exclaimed in unison, completely surprised that Shoto doesn't even know how cold his ice quirk really is.

"No, this is the first time I've been asked that." Shoto answered. "Never mind that, have any of you noticed something about the villains we've faced?"

The group stopped and looked at the frozen villains, allowing them to put the pieces together.

"Now that I think about it, you're right. They're not as strong as they look." Ayumi admitted while placing a finger underneath her chin.

"Does that mean they have another way to kill All Might?" Toru gulped in concern.

"Most likely. There are about 2 or 3 villains that are truly dangerous." Sora answered, thinking back to Shigaraki, Kurogiri, and that hulking bird creature. "But what are their true intentions?"

"Only one way to find out." Shoto said as he walked up to a frozen villain. "Listen well, your cells will slowly die as your body succumbs to frostbite and pneumonia. Luckily for you, I wanna be a hero, so I'd like to avoid unnecessary cruelty." Shoto aimed his right hand at the frozen villain, who was tearing up in fear while Ayumi and Toru were in complete shock from what Shoto said. "But I can only do that if you tell me how you're planning to kill All Might. That's the only way you'll survive."

"Ngh...as if we'd just tell you...brats... anything..." The man grunted painfully.

"Figures he wouldn't spill the beans so easily..." Toru said, scoffing at the man's stubbornness.

"Answer him," Sora threatened him next before pulling out his Pyro Saber and pointed it at the villain, inches away from the man's face and freaking him out even more. "Or, I'll cut off your genitals and sew it to your mouth."

The villain looked at the two students as if they were crazy before finally breaking under the pressure of their threats.

"Heek! A-Alright, I'll talk! I'll talk!" The villain said, being terrified out of his mind for his well-being.

"Good, now first question. Who is the one leading you guys?" Sora asked him in a serious matter, as the villain swallowed in fear and finally found his voice.

"T-The guy's name is Shigaraki Tomura! T-The guy asked us if we wanted to make waves in the crime world, and we agreed! He gathered all of us to kill All Might!" The man sang like a canary.

"We already know that I just wanted the guy's name," Sora said before looking over at Todoroki. "You wanna ask any questions?"

Todoroki blinked before nodding and turning to the frozen villain before him.

"How do you plan on killing All Might?" Todoroki asked him.

"It's... it's the monster with the beak, alright? Yeah, that giant thing...it's called "Nomu!" That's what that Shigaraki guy said. That's all I know, I swear!" The man confessed.

"Nomu..." Todoroki replied back with narrow eyes, as he remembered seeing something like that appearing next to their leader. "It doesn't feel human to me."

"T-That's because it's an A-Artificial Human that was created to kill All Might! Shigaraki kept gloating on and on about that thing as if it were invincible. Apparently, it's been bio-engineered to have multiple quirks in one body. The combo it has inside of it is supposedly enough to kill even All Might." The villain told them.

What he said surprised the U.A. students to learn about this terrible truth about this weapon meant to kill All Might.

"Multiple quirks?! But that's impossible!" Toru commented in shock to hear this from the frozen villain.

Sora and Ayumi looked at each other. Someone with multiple quirks?  It was such a rare thing, but not exactly impossible. 

"Can you tell us that Nomu monster's quirks?" The Pink Ranger asked the villain, but he shook his head frantically.

"Boss guy never told us. He just went on about All Might more. I swear that weirdo is obsessed with the guy. I don't know anything else, I swear." The bird villain said honestly to them.

Sora looked at the man in his eyes and could tell that he was telling the truth.

"I see..." the HF leader said as he knew it would be pointless to ask the villain any more questions before standing back up. "Anyway, thanks for your cooperation. Have fun freezing to death." He said uncaringly, making the villain gasp in fear before turning back to his classmates. "We're done here, so let's just leave them like this and move out." He told the others.

"Agreed, I wasn't planning on setting them free anyway. They provided us with the information we needed, but they would be in a lot of pain." Todoroki said nonchalantly.

"Yeah, and letting them loose might come back and bite us later. Let's just leave these villains here to freeze until the heroes arrive to take them to prison." Sora said, shrugging his shoulders.

"These two... they're ruthless!" Some of the conscious villains thought in terror.

Then, the four students left the villains there, either to search for their classmates or to check up and see how their teacher was fairing.

"So what's our next move?" Ayumi said with the group stopping to talk about their plans.

"Mister Aizawa's in the Center Plaza where Shigaraki and that thing, Nomu is." Toru started.

"And our classmates have been warped across the USJ. They should be able to handle themselves against these villains. But if Reina, Cyrus, and Kiba were warped in the same places with them, then they could easily deal with those thugs." Sora said, having fate in his classmates, making it out of this alive.

"Then we should head over to where our teacher is to see if we can provide some backup until your mentor gets back here with the heroes," Todoroki suggested to them.

"I was planning on suggesting that," Sora said with a nod back. "But we're going to need some backup if we're going to fight those villains, especially if they have an All Might killing weapon and an army of thugs backing them up." He said, knowing he and Ayumi needed to regroup with the others if they stood a fighting chance. The Ranger then turned his head to Toru before asking her something. "This is going to be really dangerous, Hagakure. So, if you don't want to come with us to fight, then you should still stick with us til we regroup."

"Yeah, I might just take you up on that suggestion since I'm not as strong as you two are," Toru said as she knew she wouldn't be much help.

"Don't beat yourself up about not being able to help or not handle yourself in a fight. That's no reason for you to feel ashamed about it." Sora said, trying to lift her spirits. "Anyway, let's get going now."

With that, the group soon picked up the pace as Sora moved his Hero Morpher close to his face and spoke to Katrina .

"Rangers, head the Central Plaza!" Sora said. "It's time for a counter strike."


USJ - Entrance

"It's gone," Shoji said in frustration at his classmates being teleported away by the warp villain.

"What did you do with them?!" Thirteen demanded, aiming a finger at the villains, readying her quirk.

"You need not to worry, hero. I just scattered your students across this facility, as our forces will be sure to take good care of them." Kurogiri said ominously in a cold tone. "It would be troublesome if one of them were to alert the heroes before we kill All Might."

"Ha! The joke's on you, freaky smoke cloud!" Kiba quipped tauntingly while he stood next to Thirteen. "Because help is already on the way! And when they get here, your asses are grass!"

"What do you mean by that, child?" Kurogiri asked with narrow eyes.

"Someone already left the U.S.J. to warn the school about this attack before you even showed up here to stop us," Sero explained to the criminal.

"I see... Then it's only a matter of time before this place is flooded with Pro Heroes from U.A.," Kurogiri said as he launched his mist body forward. "Then let's be sure to give them something to look forward to when they arrive!"

"You won't lay a finger on these kids while I'm here!" Thirteen said, opening the cap of her right index finger as a large suction emerged from it, absorbing the mist. "BLACK HOLE!"

"Ah, Black Hole. the quirk that sucks up matters and turns it to dust. Such an astounding power." Kurogiri complimented as the dark mist started to get sucked into Thirteen's finger. "However, you're a rescue hero, Thirteen, skilled at saving people from disasters. Which means you have little to no fighting experience or battlefield awareness."

Once he finishes his sentence, he creates a portal in his chest as another one appears behind Thirteen, turning her quirk against her.

"He opened a warp gate behind me!?" Thirteen exclaimed as the entire back part of her suit got sucked up.

"THIRTEEN!" The students cried out in horror.

"How unfortunate. You've turned yourself into dust." Kurogiri mocked as Thirteen immediately stopped using her quirk.

"I'm sorry... He got me." Thirteen apologized before she fell unconscious.

"NO, THIRTEEN!" Mina cried out.

Kiba looked horrorstruck as he took in what happened. A rushing feeling of emotions ran through his body at this. Upon hearing his classmates' cries of shock and seeing tears flow from Mina's eyes, Kiba's face went from shock to absolute serious. He stood in front of his classmates, his fist clenched tightly.

"Okay, now you've gone too far, you Smoke Monster reject!" He declared firmly, taking everyone back by his sudden change in tone.

"It's Morphin Time!" He shouted as he activated his Morpher.

He then pressed the red Morph button on his morpher, causing it to start glowing yellow. He then thrusted his left arm out. "Call of the Hero!" He shouted in unison as he pulled his left arms back and used his right hands to spin the Morpher's top half rapidly.

~Morphing Sequence: Hero Force~ 

The background changes to a terrain of a savanna as Kiba held out his Morpher, which glowed yellow, as the spirit of a Yellow Lion flies in front of him. Kiba rushes towards the Lion Spirit before it forms around his body and creates his Yellow Ranger outfit from his neck to feet. As he hero lands on the ground, Kiba's helmet forms on his head with a black visor while bright, yellow lightning flashes in the background as he poses.

~Morphing Sequence End~

Kiba clenched his fist and spun around before stopping, "Champion of the Savanna, Hero Force Yellow!" He shouted while doing a pose, surrounded by golden thunder. 

Kurogiri's eyes widened in surprise at the sudden event, only for his mind to recall a certain group of vigilantes that made their appearance a while back.

 'I see, so one of All Might's students is one of those Power Rangers from the news.' He thought before addressing the teen.  "I must say, I certainly wasn't expecting this turn of events. Even though All Might may not show up, my comrades and I will certainly enjoy killing the famous Quirkless heroes known as the Power Rangers!"

"Heh, you think so?" Kiba smirked as he dropped into a fighting stance. "Then come get some!"

He then procedded to shoot lightning at the villain, only for it to go through him.

"This will not work. Your classmates tried the sam-" The villain cut off when he saw that it was merely a distraction and that Kiba appeared behind him. "What!?!" 

That was when he saw what appeared to be a metal plate on his back. "Is that...?" He muttered before  he leaped towards Kurogiri, his eyes fixated on the metal thing around his neck. "Hey, you jerk, what do you need this metal thing for!?" He grabbed the metal object tightly and surged electricity through it. "Cry of Lightning!"

Burst of lightning slammed into the metal object, causing Kurogiri to let out a series of painful grunts. "Y-You pest...!" He groaned out.

Mina and the others were taken back by how Kiba was able to land a hit on the mist villain, despite him seemingly having no body.

"Alright, Mason!" Sero cheered in glee.

"Way to go, man!" Sato agreed loudly, holding up a fist.

"Now, I get it." Kiba spoke while keeping his hold on Kurogiri. "This metal brace is your weakness, which means that only certain parts of you turn into that smoking warp gate. To cover that, you covered your entire body in that mist."

"Wait, you saw my real body?" Kurogiri asked as he tried to get up, only for the Yellow Ranger to apply some more electric currents to keep him still.

"It was brief, but it was enough to confirm your weakness." Kiba said. "So I decided to use an attack on you, knowing you'd expose it. And once I found my opening, I took the chance. All in all, I'd say this was a success."

The Mist Villain let out a low growl at his weakness being exposed by this mere child.

 "You may be able to hold your own against me, but I doubt that you, your fellow classmates, and the rest of the Power Rangers can handle my comrades." Kurogiri warned before warping away, leaving Kiba alone.

"What? Where did he go?" He said, looking around for the mist villain. 

"Thirteen!" Kiba's attention was pulled away by Mina, who came to her teacher. She and the rest of class 1-A surrounded her, unsure of what to do. Even Kiba had no idea how to help her as medical science was not his expertise.

The boy's thoughts were interrupted by a beeping sound from his Hero Morpher.

Everyone there turned to Kiba, who brought his Morpher up to his face, but before he could answer to whom it was calling him, a familiar voice spoke first.

{"Rangers, head to the Central Plaza!"} Sora announced through the Morpher, which surprised everyone. {"It's time for a counter strike."}

After hearing the message from the Red Ranger, Mina and the others were speechless at the request from their quirkless classmate while Kiba had a huge grin on his face as he wasn't that surprised by his leader's request.

"Looks like I got my orders," Kiba said out loud with the others looking at him with bewildered expressions.

"Wait. Don't tell me you're suggesting...?" Sato asked while looking shocked. "Are you really going down there!?" He asked as if the boy had a death wish for wanting to jump back into more danger, while the other boys questioningly, and both Mina and Ochaco looked shocked.

"Have all of you lost your minds?!" Tenya shouted, "This isn't the time for us to act!" he insisted firmly. "It would be more prudent for you to stay here until the Pros arrive!"

"Sorry, Leader's order." Kiba said, shaking his head, as the others looked at him, knowing he was insane of thinking of going there to fight those criminals. "You guys stay here until help arrives, I'm going to go regroup with my team so we can take down these guys."

"Mason. I know you and the other Rangers are the strongest, but what you want to do is just too dangerous, borderline suicidal!" Sero said afraid of the implications of the boy's words.

"It's the only thing that we can do to stop them and to help the greatest hero from being killed." Kiba replied with a held up fist. "Don't underestimate us, Rangers. Bad guys or not, we're not just a bunch of push overs who can't handle themselves in a fight."

"... So you're really doing this, huh?" Shoji asked his classmate with crossed arms.

"Without a doubt."

After a few seconds of thinking about what Kiba said and seeing how serious he was, the students all gave him a reluctant nod that told him to go help his fellow Rangers.

But before Kiba could leave to help the others, Mina stepped forward with great urgency and immediately pulled the Yellow Ranger into a tight, protective embrace, making him feel every inch of her securely up against him. Her hands were clutching onto the back of his neck like she was holding onto him for dear life. He couldn't even think of anything to say, even when he could hear she was sniffling as she hugged him, trying not to break down into tears again so soon.

"Please be careful." Mina whispered, as she couldn't help but be worried about what might happen to Kiba.

After Kiba snapped back to reality, he returned the hug and took a step back after the two let go. "Sure thing." Kiba reassured her before turning around and jumping down the stairs to join his friends. 


Space - Alsatia's Ship

"It would appear that those humans have encountered several foes." Ernesh growled with narrowed eyes at the screen. "And they seem to be in the middle of a fight."

"What? They can't do that!" Scrozzle yelled angrily. "The Rangers are our enemies to destroy, not by other pitiful humans!"

Alsatia hummed in thought. "I have finally found some worthy opponents to entertain me before we take this world..." She spoke coldly as everyone took a step back from the cold tone of her voice. "And I will not tolerate anyone getting in the way of that."

Suddenly, the throne room doors opened and got everyone's attention as Igeron trotted into the room, now donning his new battle armor and wielding his new weapon.

"My Queen, allow me to go down there and take them all out." Igeron snarled in anticipation. "I'll kill two birds with one stone!"

"Igeron?" Alsatia asked while taking a good look at Igeron's new look and weapon. "Where did you have time to get yourself a new weapon and some new armor?"

"I've had Scrozzle construct all of this with the resources we had." Igeron gestured to his new armor and weapon.

"Yes, he wanted me to make it so he could destroy the Rangers." Scrozzle added in.

Ernesh snorted at this. "And what makes you think you have a chance against these humans? Don't you remember the last time you faced off against the Power Rangers?"

"I admit, I underestimated those humans before. But now, with this new armor and weapon, I know they won't have a chance against me." Igeron then turned to Alsatia and kneeled before her. "All I ask is for you to give me the opportunity to redeem myself for my past mistake, and I promise you that no one will think twice to challenge us after I'm through with the Rangers."

Alsatia was silent for a moment as she sat on her throne. After a while, she spoke up. "Very well. If you are that determined, I'll give you a chance." She told Igeron. "Take several of my Batzlers down to Earth with you and show me your resolve. And do NOT fail again."

"Thank you, my Queen. I promise you won't regret this." Igeron stated as he stood up with narrowed eyes.


USJ - Central Plaza

"We should find Mr. Aizawa as well." Shoto told the group in an urgent tone as they made their way to their destination.

"He's probably still fighting in the plaza!" Sora said without looking at the dual Quirk user.

"I hope he's okay." Toru mumbled to herself in worry.

Ayumi hummed in agreement. "Yeah... I wonder if the others are on their way."

However, once they reached the plaza...they froze in horror at what they saw.

Within the center, Professor Aizawa lay on the ground. His face was beaten, and one of his arms was broken. That large creature, with its brain exposed, held down the pro-hero all while the blue-haired villain seemed to be discussing something with Kurogiri.

"Tomura Shigaraki." The void man said.

"Kurogiri." The boy now called Tomura responded. "Did you manage to kill Thirteen?"

"The Rescue Hero is out of commission," the void man called Kurogiri reported. "But there were students I was unable to disperse, and they had already gotten word out to U.A. before Eraserhead fought our troops. Not only that, but those 'Power Rangers' from the news are here as well."

[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Villain's Theme]

This seemed to have a very bad effect on Shigaraki's skin, as he started to scratch his neck, like he got a rash from hearing that. He scratched uncontrollably as he spoke. "Kurogiri, you fool! If you weren't our warp gate, I'd tear apart every last atom in your body!" 

When suddenly...

BANG!

Suddenly, a gunshot was heard as a plasma shot came in and shot Nomu right in the eye. The creature roared in discomfort as it held its shot eye, and while it was fine, it definitely didn't tickle.

"Hey!" The villain's looked to the side to see Sora with his Brave Blaster aimed right at them with Todoroki and Toru by his side. "Hands off our teacher!"

That moment was all they needed for Ayumi to swoop in with her power of wind abilites to get Aizawa away from Nomu's grip.

"Oh?"  Shigaraki muttered, but Ayumi paid no mind as she grabbed Aizawa and flew a good distance away from the 3 villains towards Sora and the others.

"Mr. Aizawa..." Ayumi said, horrified by how beat up he was, a broken arm and his elbows... One of them looked horrible, its skin was gone, and its muscle was fully exposed. What happened? She shifted her view to the blue-haired man.

"Oh my god..." Toru gasped in horror at the sight of their teacher.

"Bastards..." Todoroki growled in anger.

Though before anymore could be said, another voice roared out over the plaza.

"Hey, Misty bastard! Remember me!" The villains then saw Bakugo, Reina, and Kirishima running into the scene. Sora, Ayumi, and Reina all looked at each other and smiled when they saw the other was unharmed.

"You won't get away!" Kirishima prepares to slam Shigaraki down to the ground, only for the villain to jump away from the redhead. "Aw man, that was gonna be freaking cool."

"We're here too!" Cyrus yelled as he and Momo came running as well. 

"Thank goodness, you guys are in one piece! I was so worried!" The latter sighed in relief as they reached the group. 

 "Yaomomo! We're all right! We're all, all right!" Toru exclaimed in happiness.

"Don't count me out, either." Another voice said as suddenly Kiba jumped onto the scene, still morphed. Soon, the UA students all grouped up together and faced the villain.

While the Nomu was recovering from it's eye being shot, more faces appeared  before the others in the forms of Izuku, Tsuyu, and Mineta; the latter of whom was panicking and hiding behind everyone else.

Kiba that decided to add some humor into the situation and said. "Great, the gang's all here. Now, this is what I call a happy reunion!"

"First things first!" Ayumi said as she turned to Toru and said. "Can you and Mineta get Mr. Aizawa outta here. We got this!"

"Sure thing! Kick their butts!" Toru nodded as she and Mineta began to carry Aizawa to safety.

"I'll go with them just in case, ribbit. " Tsuyu said, before hopping after them.

"So, anyone wanna fill us in?" Reina questioned the group without taking her eyes off the villain.

"They're the ring leaders of this whole mess." Sora informed the ones who didn't know.

Kiba then pointed at Kurogiri. "And Sierra Mist over there hurt Thirteen badly. She's alive, but she's gonna need a doctor."

"One of your poorly trained thugs told us about your plan to kill All Might." Shoto announced to the villains. "The Symbol of Peace won't be defeated by delinquents like you." Shoto stated.

Sora glared at Shigaraki as he pointed his sidearm at the villain. "It's over, man. Give it up." He spoke as the other Rangers stood on both sides of him.

"Kacchan, Sora, everyone." Izuku said in disbelief before wiping his tears away as the boys and girls glared at the villains.

Meanwhile, Shigiraki looked to the UA students for a moment before Kurogiri spoke up once more. 

"That's him." He gestured to Kiba. "He's one of those 'Power Rangers' from the news. Which means... the other four must be as well."

"Ah yes, the so-called 'Quirkless' heroes that almost everyone's talking about." Shigaraki uttered...before he started chuckling. "Well, well, well. Things just got interesting." The villain said in a psychotic tone. "I guess we've got awhile before the Pro's get here. And, killing some kids and the Spandex Squad will surely destroy UA's reputation and spirit. Nomu, take them. Kurogiri, stay with me. I wanna watch this peacefully."

Nomu roared as it stared down group as the students got ready for a fight.

Suddenly, a hole in the roof ripped open, causing everything to half. Everyone in the building looks up to see the hole, only for a large purple beam, then shot down into the Central Plaza, making everyone turn, seeing the beam.

"What the....?" Shigaraki questioned in shock.

"Wha?" Bakugo gasped. "What the hell is that!?"

The Rangers all took notice of the light as their eyes widened in realization. "More trouble!" Sora told them.

Soon, figures began appearing out of the beam, revealing to be multiple Batzlers landing on the ground. The grunts all aim their claws at the group and the other villains, who raised their hands in surrender.

 The grunts all aim their claws at the group and the other villains, who raised their hands in surrender

Soon, figures began appearing out of the beam, revealing to be multiple Batzlers landing on the ground.

"Aren't they the same villains that attacked the city last year?!" Momo asked as she was surprised by the sudden appearance of the Batzlers.

"Yeah, and didn't you guys have to fight them during the Battle Trial, back in U.A.?" Kirishima added as he remembered what the Rangers had to fight during their match.

"Yeah, they're called Batzlers. As for what they're doing here, I honestly have no idea." Cyrus replied as he didn't know why Alsatia would send her Batzlers into the same training facility that the League of Villains infiltrated.

'Batzlers?' Both Todoroki and Bakugo thought as the former kept his eyes on the strange villains that instantly appeared.

'What the hell kind of names is that?' The latter, though.

Cyrus decided to think about Alsatia's reasoning later and turned to Momo. "Do you still have enough energy to fight?"

"I think I do." Momo replied as she used her Quirk to create another staff to defend herself.

"Good," Cyrus nodded as he turned back to the approaching Batzlers. "Because I think we have another fight in our hands."

"Oh, you have no idea, Blue Ranger."

Hearing the ominous and dark tone, everyone looked over and saw Igeron, now donning his new battle armor and wielding his new weapon.

"And this time, you Rangers will be the ones to fall!"

To Be Continued...

USJ - Central Plaza

Everyone was taken back by the sudden appearance of Igeron and the Batzlers.

"What...is that?" One villain blinked in confusion.

"A horse man?" A female villain asked.

Todoroki merely looked on with wide eyes at the sight.

"It's those things again..." Izuku uttered with terrified eyes. "The ones who attacked the city last year and several months prior.

"Yeah, but Ukashi and his friends stopped them before." Kirishima reminded them. "I'm sure they can do it again!"

"Hello, Hero Force Rangers. Remember me?" Igeron snarled darkly.

"Igeron...!" Sora and Reina both shouted.

"Hey, it's the horseman guy from before!" Kiba exclaimed upon seeing the centaur.

"Is it just me, or does he look... different to the rest of you?" Ayumi asked, noticing his new armor.

Cyrus nodded in agreement. "Yeah, it looks like he got some new upgrades."

"Smarter than you look." Igeron taunted, stepping forward. "That's right. I may have lost to you Rangers before during our last encounter, but now I have been given a second chance to destroy you!"

"What the hell are they talking about?! Do they know each other?!" Bakugo mentally questioned while narrowing his eyes in suspicion at the Rangers and Igeron. "I'm going to get an answer from them one way or another!" He was seriously pissed for being left out of the loop and not knowing anything.

"Enough," Shigaraki shouted at the centuar villain. "Just who do you think you are, and what reason do you have for being here and interrupting our fun?!" he demanded.

Igeron merely gave him a death glare in response and decided to introduce himself to everyone present.

"Who I am is none of you concern!" Igeron announced with a voice that was somehow both cold and calculating, while at the same time vile and vicious. "All you need to know is that her Grace has blessed me with the chance to redeem myself by destroying our number one enemy!" He said freaking out some of them that there was another group of criminals here, except for a few with Bakugo as he had enough of listening to the villain.

"Shut the hell up, you hoof-footed freak! I kill you before you can even get the chance to fight All Might!" Bakugo yelled at Igeron, as he was being held back by Kirishima to prevent him from attacking the enemy.

"You can't do that, man!" The redhead told him.

"Huh?! Why the hell not?!" Bakugo replied back with anger.

"Tsk, foolish human!" Igeron snorted at the ash-blonde, which only pissed the boy off even more. "We could care less about your world's 'Symbol of Peace'. I'm here for a different reason altogether, which has nothing to do with your world's champion." He stated to them that silenced the students and villains.

They were bewildered by the new villain's words, as they thought he was here to kill All Might like the other villain group but had something else in mind for being at the U.S.J. The real question was what it was, and they had a feeling they weren't going to like the answer to Igeron's question.

"Then what do you want?" Momo was the brave one to ask first but in a frightened expression.

"The end of the Power Rangers!" Igeron said with an evil smirk, causing every one of the students in Class 1-A to gasp, as they all turned to the Rangers' direction and looked at the colorful heroes with worried expressions.

"He's here for them?" Izuku asked in a shocked tone. "But why?"

"Whatever their reason is, it can't be good," Todoroki said, feeling a great bit of concern for his fellow classmates' safety.

The Hero Force Rangers, for the most part, weren't that much surprised by what Igeron said but were just plain irritated and mad.

"So, that means you still haven't had enough from last time." Sora assumed.

"Yeah, should have known it would be something like that," Reina said with a sigh of frustration.

"Like we haven't heard that before!" Kiba yelled while rolling his eyes. "At least try being original, dude!"

"And yet, guys like you always failed each and every time! So how will this be any different?!" Cyrus said back while reminding him about his humilating defeat prior.

"That's right," Ayumi said with a glaring nod.

Igeron growled at Rangers, clenching his javelin tightly in his grip.

"But why do you want to kill them?!" Kirishima asked, not liking the idea that a villain was there to kill his friends. "What have they ever done to you?!" His words got Igeron's attention.

"Because, unlike your stupid joke that you call the Symbol of Peace and the rest of this world's pathetic heroes, the Power Rangers are a real threat. Which is why we're going to exterminate them all here and now before they can have the chance to ruin our Queen's plans of taking this world." Igeron declared their goal to them.

This made everyone who was not a Ranger look terrified and shocked that another group of villains was there to kill their classmates but not All Might as they saw the Rangers as more of a threat than even the Number One Hero.

One of the villains let out a snort. "Say what?" He spoke, stepping forward to face Igeron. "Look, pal. I don't know who you think are, but why don't you beat it before I turn you into glu-"

Everyone looked in shock and horror as the villain was falling back with his chest brutally blown open, blood spraying everywhere, face frozen in surprise and pain. Igeron's javelin was held in front of him as smoke sizzled from the tip.

"No!" One of the villains cried out as her face contorted with rage. "You bastard!" Before she could move to attack, Igeron raised his front legs high into the air, laughing darkly as dark-red power surged from the greaves and hooves.

"Begone!" he shouted looudly.

"Watch out!" Sora yelled to the group.

As if on instinct, Todoroki moved forward and slammed his foot, sending out a surge of ice.

The Centaur general slammed his hooves into the ground with enough force to send a yellow wave blast at the swarm of villains, instantly vaporizing them as the blast created an explosion, which sent a large dust cloud into the air.

Once the dust had begun to settle, Sora and the others had found themselves protected by a medium-sized ice wall that Todoroki created, though most of it appeared to be destroyed due to the blast.

"Is everyone alright?" The latter asked his classmates.

"Holy crap!" Kirishima gaped out in shock.

"Yeah, I'm alright." Reina nodded as she was surprised by the appearance of an ice wall. 

"Yes, thank you." Momo told him.

'Wow, Todoroki's ice Quirk is so amazing!' Izuku thought inward, turning his attention back to Igeron. 'That villain...isn't like the others.'

Standing defiantly amid the charred remains of the villains was Nomu. The fire had burned off most of the black clothes, and what remained was in scorched tatters. Nomu's arms were crossed over in an X as he stood protectively over Shigaraki.

The hand-themed villain looked around the plaza. All of the villains that had been standing by his side were gone, reduced to ash in mere seconds.

"NO!NO!NO!NOOO!" He hissed, scratching his neck. "It wasn't supposed to be this way! I had no idea they had such an overleveled character in their party! This is a disaster!"

"Now that that's done." Igeron spoke up and soon approached the group, resting his blade on his shoulder. He then stopped and lowered it, pointing it at the Rangers. "You're next Rangers."

Nearby, Shigaraki was shaking as he trembled in rage. "No...!" He said, frustratingly scratching his neck once again while he glared at Igeron. "If that over-leveled centaur believes he can steal my kill and reward... then he has no idea who, or what, he's dealing with."

Kurogiri noticed the man's reactions with worry in his eyes. "Shigaraki..."

"NOMU, ATTACK!" The hand villain exclaimed loudly.

The monster let out a thunderous roar before launching towards Igeron with its fist raised.

SHHHK!

With a sickening sound of something slicing effortlessly through meat and bone, the instant that anyone could blink, Nomu was now standing behind Igeron, before collapsing onto the ground with a loud crash...as it's own head layed limply in a pool of blood in front of the group feet, completely severed at the neck.

The entire plaza was filled with horrified expression and gasps the moment Nomu's head was severed like it was nothing.

Sora, Todoroki, Izuku, Reina, and Bakugo all looked in mere shock at the Nomu's head.

"Oh my god!" Ayumi screamed as she and Momo covered their mouths in horror at the sight.

"No way!" Cyrus yelled in shock.

"You gotta be kidding me!" Kiba yelled with wide eyes.

"I think I'm gonna be sick...!" Kirishima grimaced in shock.

"H-H-He struck down... Nomu in the blink of an eye? That's impossible!" Kurogiri said in a shocked tone.

"My precious Nomu! My creation... it's gone.... THAT GOOD FOR NOTHING!" Shigaraki roared in anger as he jumped in, trying to use his Quirk on Igeron.

"Weak." Igeron bluntly said, using his hind legs to buck Shigaraki in the chest, knocking the wind out of him and sending him flying backward.

"Agh! That hurts...!" Tomura wheezed and had trouble breathing.

Before the man even landed, Kurogiri, having decided Shigaraki's safety was more important, warped over to catch him. "Are you okay, Shigaraki?" He asked.

"Shut up! How dare that creature murder Nomu!" He yelled.

"...Shigaraki, I believe that it's time we leave." Kurogiri told him. "We lost most of our army, we're outnumbered, and the Pros will be here soon. We must fall back for now."

"Argh, no, no, no! This wasn't supposed to happen! And you!" Shigaraki snarled, pointing at the Power Rangers with hate-filled eyes. "You got in my way! This is all your fault, I'll be sure to kill you next for all this."

"Then, let's fight now!" Sora shouted as he dashed forward. He swung his blaster sword, but to no avail. Kurogiri opened a second vortex, allowing the red Ranger to pass right through them. The two disappeared completely as Sora glared at the spot they disappeared from.

'Damn it!'

"Tch!" Igeron sneered in disgust. "Humans. Always running away like cowards. That's why you will ALWAYS be at the bottom of the food chain!"

He turned his attention to the other Rangers, who all ran over to Sora and took up defensive stances.

"You know, I was only sent here to deal with you Rangers, but I'll destroy anyone who gets in my way!" Igeron roared while his crimson eyes were looking at the Kirishima, Bakugo, Todoroki, Izuku, and Momo with a menacing glance.

"You wanna go horse freak, then I'll be more than happy to take you on!" Bakugo declared blasting at Igeron,  as he decided to let the other extras deal with the small fries while he took on one of the big fishes.

"Kacchan!" Izuku cried out.

"Bakugo! No!" shouted Sora.

"That dumbass!" Reina yelled.

"Weakling! What makes you think you can defeat me?" Igeron questioned Bakugo, who showed no fear from the villain baring his fangs at him. "You will regret ever challenging me, you little imp!"

"No!" Bakugo yelled as he flew at the foe. "You are gonna regret coming here, you horse ass bastard!"  He threw his hand to attack. "DIE!"

At that moment, Igeron swung his javelin at the explosive boy who used a explosion from his right hand to barely dodge the weapon strike and swung around to Igeron's side to launch another blast from his left hand. But Igeron's new armor provided to be too tough for Bakugo's blast to harm him before Igeron's fist met Bakugo in a fierce uppercut to the gut, knocking the air from the explosive teen's lungs.

Bakugo collapsed on his knees and fell to Igeron' hooves while holding his stomach in pain, as the blonde haired boy's mind rattled from the blow and the impact.

Unfortunately for him, Igeron wasn't quite through with his merciless assault as he then channeled red lightning into his javelin and fired it from the tip directly at Bakugo, who was unable to dodge it in time and getting zapped with bolt of lightning while triggering some explosions around him, and making the explosive teen scream out in agony and soaring backwards in the air.

"BAKUGO/KACCHAN!" Everyone cries out in horror. 

At the same time, Bakugo was now on his back while slowly recovering from the painful beating Igeron unleashed upon onto him and was getting frustrated at how he was losing to this monster so easily.

"Goddamn it..." Bakugo growled out in pain while laying on his back. "I'm not done yet, bastard." He said through his teeth while looking at the monster with an angry expression as he painfully climbed to his feet.

"You puny humans dare to challenge us?!" Igeron scoffed at the boy's arrogance as his javelin emblazed with lightning. "It was embarrassing enough to lose to the Rangers! And now more foolish youths follow them in their footsteps?! Very well, I'm going to enjoy making you brats suffer!" He then raised his javelin at the human children before speaking to his troops. "ATTACK!" He barked.

Then, the Batzlers behind Igeron charged at the U.A. students, with the students preparing for a fight.

"Eat this, you ugly freaks!" Ķirishima shouted while rushing at a Batzler with his body now hardened and striking the grunt with a punch to the chest, sending it flying. 

Another villain attempts to pull off a sneak attack, only for Momo to bash it with her staff and kick it away.

As all the grunts advanced forward to the students, Todoroki made his move next as he wasted no time sending down a growing sheet of ice on the ground surface and at the Batzlers. 

A random one let gibberish noises in shock as its leg was covered in ice and began moving up the rest of its body to freeze him over.

Another met with the same fate, as Todoroki had frozen some of the Batzlers before him without hesitation and stopped them from moving in their tracks with no way to escape.

'This would be the right time to use One for All if I had any control over it. I'll just end up breaking my bones.' Izuku thought, only to take a kick to the stomach from a Batzler, which then tossed him to the ground. 'Why am I just thinking about using my quirk? I memorized some of those basic self-defense moves Sora and the others used in their fights.' Raising his arms, he parried the punches from a Batzler, grabbed it by the shoulders and kneed it in the gut, before tossing the monster over his shoulder. Another Batzler fired a blast of energy from its claw at him, but Izuku rolled out of the way before the blast could hit him and grabbed a rock which he then threw towards the Batzler who's next blast went wide and slammed into another grunt, causing it to burst into vapor.

"Damn villain scum!" Bakugo shouted while rushing at a Batzler with his hand glowing and striking the robot with an explosion to the chest.

But to Bakugo's surprise, the grunt didn't even flinch from the boy's blast as the foot soldier swung its claw across the boy's face, knocking him back on the floor hard.

"Bakugo! You won't get away with th-Gah!" Kirishima was interrupted when a Batzler slammed its claw into the boy's body, which sent him rolling on the ground before standing back up and crossing his arms to block another's attack. "Man, these guys are a lot tougher than they look!" He yelled while punching at the grunts with more effect.

"Idiot! Stop worrying about me!" Bakugo shouted while striking another explosion at a Batzler, only for a second one to step in front of the boy and block the attack with its claw. "Huh?!" He screamed in shock to see his attack stopped so easily.

The Batzler used its claw to push back Bakugo before two more took advantage of this to hit the boy with massive blows that sent Bakugo skidding back on the ground in pain.

"What the hell are these things made of?!" He groaned out in pain before quickly regaining his footing to dodge a laser blast meant for him, as he then blocks more of the grunts' assault with his gauntlets. "How the hell am I having trouble with this?! I know I'm a lot stronger than this!" He asked while finding it difficult fighting these monsters unlike those other villains from before.

As Igeron smirked evilly as he prepared to witness the Batzlers slaughter the super-powered children, he held up his left gauntlet to block a laser blast, which also caused him to lose his smirk. 

 "Don't forget about us, horse face!" 

 Igeron lowered his armored arm and turned to see that Sora was one who fired that laser blast as the other Rangers stood by him, having the same glare as the Red Ranger. "So, you finally decided to face me." Igeron snarled, glaring at the Rangers. "Good. I've been looking forward to this, so make it worth my while." 

 "Oh, don't you worry. We're gonna make sure to kick your ass real good this time." Reina taunted with a smirk.

They all moved and formed a line, from left to right: Kiba, Reina, Sora, Ayumi, and Cyrus.

"It's Morphin Time!" Sora shouted as the team, except Kiba (who was still morphed), all raised their armed wrists by their heads.

The quartet pressed the red Morph button on their morphers, causing them to start glowing red, black, blue, and pink. They then thrusted their left arms out together. "Call of the Hero!" The quartet shouted in unison as they pulled their left arms back and used their right hands to spin the Morphers' top half at the same time.

(Morph sequence)

The screen split into four, Ayumi in the top left, Cyrus in the top right, Sora in the bottom left, and Reina in the bottom right. The backgrounds change to their respective element terrain as their Zords appeared in front of the Rangers. They all flew forward with ease, emerging with their Zords, creating their Ranger suits around them from neck to feet. They all somersault through the air before landing in their positions, and then their helmets appear on them. Then, they performed their poses as their elements burst behind them.

(End morph sequence)

"Power Rangers Hero Force!" They all posed together as a team to show how serious they were to face the centaur general, now armed with their Hero Weapons.

"Bring it on!" Igeron snarled, pointing his javelin at them. "It's time to put you Rangers down for good!"

"Bring it on!" Kiba retorted.

He jumped up and dived towards Igeron, then tried to slash him with his claws, but Igeron blocked it with his left gauntlet. He then ran past Igeron, who blocked Cyrus's lance as he ran past and tried to hit him, then he tried to slash Sora as he ran past him, but he blocked it with his sword.

"Take this!" Ayumi shouted as she jumped above Sora and fired several pink energy blasts at Igeron, who blocked them and slashed the Pink Ranger across the chest, sending her flying to the ground.

"Ugh!" She groaned.

Igeron then blocked Reina's axe with his arm before he put it on her shoulder before pushing her back as he ran forward.

"AH!" she grunted.

He then blocked Sora's sword with his blade, then slashed him down the chest, knocking him down.

Sora then rolled along the ground, then got up and turned to face the centaur general.

"Hmph," Igeron smirked as he brought his own arm around. "You're out of my league now, humans! Give up, and perish!" He said before swinging his weapon down, creating a vicious shockwave that burst in front of Sora.

The Red Ranger immediately sidestepped to his opponent's side and dodged at the last second before sliding back on his feet.

"Holy crap!" Kiba yelled in shock after seeing the attack. "That's some serious firepower!"

"And the shockwaves alone caused this much damage," Cyrus commented on his own surprise.

Igeron stood proudly over the sea of dust created, smirking maliciously at his foes while his body was glowing slightly red.

"Yes, and with every second, my power will keep growing, and that means every second will lead to your miserable end." Igeron proudly said before Cyrus and Kiba jumped at the centaur general with a swing from their lance and claws respectively as they closed in from behind, but Igeron crouched his front hooves and kicked backwards, slamming his hind legs into the Blue and Yellow Rangers' chests hard.

"Gahhh!" Cyrus and Kiba both screamed in pain, as both of them fell back to the floor, gagging with their suits smoking with steam.

"Kiba! Cyrus!" Sora was the first to react as he shouted his friends' names in great concern.

"OH, NO!" Ayumi shouted with widened eyes.

"You son of a...!" Reina yelled as she sent a flying kick at Igeron, just barely hitting his arms, then tried to slash his legs with her axe, but missed as he dodged. She then spun around to kick him, only for Igeron to grab and bash her in the chest.

"UH!" Reina moaned as she flipped forward onto her chest.

Igeron held up his javelin. "This is true power!" He declared, swinging it again to create another powerful shockwave at the Rangers, who dodged out of the way again.

"Is it me, or is he getting stronger?" Ayumi asked the others.

"If that's the truth, then he's been holding back this entire time," Cyrus said as he and Kiba recovered from their injuries while standing back up.

"Even so, that doesn't change what we have to do!" Sora said as he and the others charged in at the general together.

"Foolish Rangers! Your chances of beating me are low!" Igeron said with a smirk before leaping up high in the air to avoid their attacks before landing behind the team of heroes. He swung his weapon from the side, creating a crescent shockwave that bent towards the Hero Force Rangers.

The five Rangers were caught in the incoming shockwave and slid backward in pain with a loud yell from all of them before quickly recovering on their feet.

"Such incredible power... He must've really been holding back this entire time." Cyrus said with widened eyes from the shock of the general's power.

"And I don't even think he hasn't shown what he can really do yet..." Kiba said with a sweat breaking out from his side forehead.

"Don't forget that the others are counting on us." Sora said, readying his Pyro Saber.

"Yeah... I was just trying to catch my breath here." Reina joked as she rolled her left arm.

"This is my time! Everything I do is for my Queen! I'll do anything to ensure she claims this planet!" Igeron's fingers twitched as he leered at the Rangers. "Even if it means the destruction of the entire human race!"

"You... You would really cause mass genocide for something, so god damn ridiculous?!" Reina shouted at him in an angry voice.

"Ridiculous!?" Igeron snarls in rage before sending another shockwave at the humans, as they've avoided it. "Queen Alsatia recruited me for one reason! To be by her side as she ushers in a new age of despair! How frightened you must be to know that your existence is devoid of any purpose. We do not suffer like you humans!"

"That's the dumbest thing I ever heard!" Sora spoke, glared at his adversary, angrily staring into his eyes. "That only makes you sound like a dispensable tool! How can you live with yourself knowing that you're nothing but a pawn!?"

"BE QUIET!" Igeron shouted as his voice boomed, his javelin glowing red as it created a gust that made the Rangers shield their faces with their arms. The intense wave of energy was so great that each of the Rangers was being pushed back.

"What-?!" Ayumi was stopped by red lightning that flared from Igeron's body.

The red lightning flared everywhere, intensifying in searing agony as it was like discharge. It was let loose, and everything ran haphazardly all around. The lightning suddenly flashed as Igeron violently shouted in increasing volume, and then it discharged into bolts that struck everything.

"AAAAAH!" Sora screamed in agony as he was the first to get hit by the attack since he was the closest to the centaur.

Apparently, he wasn't the only one hit as Reina, Cyrus, Kiba, and Ayumi were all screaming out as red lightning struck them.

"AGHH!" They moaned as sparks flew off their suits.

Sora hit the ground on his chest, Ayumi and Reina on their sides - Reina her right, Ayumi her left - while Cyrus and Kiba hit the ground on their backs.

To add insult to injury, the lightning attack forced all of the Rangers to de-morph out of their Rangers forms because of the amount of damage they took.


Hearing the cries of their classmates, the others stopped their fighting and watched in horror as their classmates were sprawled out on the ground, de-morphed by an alien centaur. They were the only ones as part of the class from atop of the stairs also watched.

"Oh no!" Jiro gasped, her eyes widened in shock as she saw her friends lying on the ground, barely able to move.

"Guys!" Sero exclaimed in shock.

"He beat the suits off of them!" Mineta screamed in terror as he held his head.

"They're in trouble!" Toru screamed loudly.

"Such terrifying power that monster has," Shoji said, gritting his teeth from Igeron's power.

"Cyrus!" Momo called out with a shocked face.

'Kiba!' Mina thought in worry.

"Ribbit..." Tsuyu croaked in fright.

Todoroki and Bakugo both looked on in disbelief that the Rangers were beaten.

"I have to do something!" Izuku cried out, as he had enough of watching this, and decided to jump in to help the Rangers.

"MIDORIYA, STOP!" Kirishima yelled, grabbing onto his classmate to prevent him from going any farther.

"Let me go! I have to go help them!" Izuku cried out, as he was struggling to break free from his classmate's hold on him.

"Are you out of your mind, Midoriya?! It's completely suicide to go down there!" The red head said to him. "Didn't you see what that horse guy did to those other villains!?"

"I can't just sit here and watch them get hurt!" Izuku shouted back, still trying to break Kirishima's hold. "They need help!"

Ochaco looked down from where she was at her mother's saviors, her lips pressed tightly as she placed her hand on her chest. 

Meanwhile, the Rangers struggled to stand, managing to sit up at the very least.

"H-How's everyone holding u-up?" Reina asked her friends while enduring her own pain.

"It could be worse..." Cyrus said back, putting on a brave front, as he felt like he was hit by a truck.

"I can't feel my everything..." Kiba groaned out from the pain his body felt. "... Is that normal?"

Sora struggled to his knees despite the pain as he looked at Igeron. "That power of his is no joke. It's almost like I'm fighting All Might." He thought while breathing heavily from his injuries, placing a hand on his knee.

"Sora, watch out!" Ayumi warned her friend out loud.

 "Sora looked back up to face Igeron and saw his javelin aimed at them with energy swirling around the tip.

"Say goodbye, Rangers!" Igeron shouted as the bizarre energy suddenly brightened as the weapon stretched out towards the Rangers.

Time slowed down, as everything seemed to move in slow motion. Everyone cried out for the Rangers to move, though their voices seemed to be far away.

Izuku's mind went back to when Igeron wiped out the villains that attacked them.

It was going to happen to the Power Rangers. The same ones who gave him much encouragement in the Quirk Test.

They were going to die.

"NOOOOOO!"

A powerful gust of wind blew outward, surprising everyone from the sudden burst of dust. The greenette, Izuku Midoriya, was flying in mid-air with his fist pulled back. "M-Midoriya!?"

"Green Bean!? What's he doing!?" Reina asked in shock, as were the other Rangers.

"GET AWAY FROM THEM! SMASH!" He screamed and punched Igeron. The force caused a huge shockwave that created a large cloud of smoke. It was so strong that wind was sent flying all around and knocking the Batzlers back, the water was forced back, and the ground erupted with many cracks in the floor. Even the lights around the edge of the dome were destroyed.

Izuku panted and stared at the smoke that was covering his arm. However, he then looked at his arm and was shocked.

His arm wasn't broken. In fact, it was completely fine. He couldn't believe it! After all his training, now's when he's able to use Smash without breaking his arm?

Izuku wanted to cheer up and looked up...

....Igeron was completely fine, having used his chestplate to tank the blow!

After seeing Izuku's attack not do any damage to his armor, Igeron laughed loudly like he just witnessed him do something he found hilarious.

"Was that really your best, human?" Igeron mocked his attacker before clenching his fist while his smile grew sinister. "Let me show you how it's done."

Quicker than anyone could see, Igeron drove his fist deep into Izuku's stomach, folding the broccoli teen around Igeron's arm for a split second before the force of the attack transferred and Izuku was blasted away, slamming into an wall hard enough to create a large dust cloud that.

"Izuku/Deku/Midoriya!" Everyone yelled out in both worry and fear.

"You bastard! You're going to pay for that!" Kirishima cursed, angrily.

Igeron then immediately pointed his javelin at the red head and the others, causing Shoto to quickly create a wall of ice to shield them.

Unbothered, Igeron fired a beam from the javelin that hit the wall, causing an explosion that not only hurt them but also sent them flying backwards with Momo, Bakugo, Todoroki, and Kirishima letting out screams of pain.

"Guys!" Cyrus cried out.

Igeron scoffed at the students on the ground. "These humans are like cockroaches: You get rid of one of these pests, more show up in its place."

At the same time, Bakugo tried standing back on his feet, with little effort. 

"Damnit..." Bakugo groans out in pain while glaring angrily at Igeron. "I'll kill you..."

BAM!

Suddenly, a loud explosion burst from the entrance as the sliding doors to the USJ were blown off with a tremendous force, creating a dust cloud that concealed whoever it was.

When Ochaco and Mina heard it, they and the other at the entrance looked towards it. When the Rangers, Igeron, and the others heard it, they looked towards the sound. Everyone in the dome heard it and looked towards the main gates.

Then footsteps... no stomps were heard.

When Ochaco and Mina saw the person walking out of the smoke, they gasped with looks of happiness. Even the other students looked with joy, and some had tears coming out.

As for the Rangers, when they saw the person, they were surprised by who it was.

Standing there with a white dress shirt and a blue tie and carrying his suit jacket was their saving grace; All Might. But something was different about him. He wasn't smiling. He now had an expression of fury. Glaring with his teeth gritting.

"Have no fear, students." All Might said in his booming voice before grabbing his tie and ripping it right off his neck.

"I AM HERE!"

To Be Continued...

 

 

Notes:

And there we have it! Another chapter wrapped up!

So, things definitely worked out differently in this chapter than in the Canon story. Igeron arrives and not only wipes out most of the villains but Nomu as well and forcing Tomura and Kurogiri to retreat!

And then we get to Round 1 with the Rangers and Igeron, who beats the team like a drum with his new gear. Izuku tried his best, but it wasn't enough to handle Igeron.

And so, we'll go into the next chapter and see All Might face Igeron.

Thank you very much for reading. "Power Rangers: Heroes Force" will return. Please be sure to favorite and follow if you like the story, and also review it. If you have any questions or discussions you'd have for me, then please in a review or a PM my profile.

Thank you for reading, may God bless you, and have a wonderful day.

USJ - Afternoon

Everyone's attention was turned to the Symbol of Peace as he made his prescene known.

And he was pissed.

"I couldn't shake the feeling that something had gone wrong here when Aizawa and Thirteen didn't answer my calls." All Might said as he walked forward. Ochaco was smiling and tearing up with joy as Mina sobbed. Jiro, Toru, Tsu, and Mineta were kneeling by Thirteen as the Hero trembled in pain. Kaminari had regained consciousness and was standing next to Tenya, Sato, Sero, and Shoji. Watching the #1 Hero walked past them. "So when Ms. Katrina informed us of the villainy at work here, I hurried over."

All Might gritted his teeth in anger. Most of it at himself. He couldn't believe that all of this was happening while he was resting. All Might hated to think of how frightened the children must have been and how hard his colleagues had to fight in order to protect them. And when he saw the Rangers lying on the ground before Igeron, he knew that they were fighting him. The only thing that All Might could do now is reassure everyone that things will be okay.

That's his duty as the Symbol of Peace.

When he stopped at the edge of the stairs. "Have no fear, students..." After throwing aside his suit jacket, All Might grabbed his tie and ripped it off his neck. "Because I am here!"

"All Might!" the students exclaimed all at once.

Momo put her hands on her mouth as she looked at him with joy. "He actually came!" She said with a sob.

"Hehe, the big guy finally showed up." Sora grinned as he looked up at the man.

"So, another human has come to get crushed... " Igeron snorted to himself as he watched from the side.

As All Might approached the stair, he caught sight of Aizawa's body and looked down at his colleague's injuries. He was just as bad of a shape as Thirteen. "I'm sorry, Aizawa. I should've been here." He said with sympathy and regret.

 He then looked down at the plaza before disappearing and knocking out the rest of the Batzlers. Moving like a blur, he gave them one punch to the head, and they all fell to the ground, turning into vapor.

"Holy crap....he took them all out so fast!" Kirishima said with a small hint of excitement, though he was in pain."I didn't even see him move!"

"Imagine having power like that." Bakugo said as he's in more shock than Kirishima.

'He really is the best.' Shoto admitted to himself while trying to climb to his feet.

In that instant, All Might stood protectively in front of the Rangers and the others.

"Everyone, stay back. I'll handle this villain myself!" He ordered the students.

"All Might! Igeron killed most of the villains here, and when Izuku tried to attack, it didn't do a thing! And Igeron hurt him!!" Ayumi shouted.

"Young Midoriya...!?" When All Might's eyes turned to the unconscious and battered form of Izuku, he felt a tidal wave of anger flowing through his body, clenching his fist tightly.  "I won't let you students get involved with this fight! This villain won't hesitate to kill you!" All Might countered.

"This doesn't concern you, human!" Igeron snarled, growling menacingly at All Might.

"When it comes to those who harm my students, it does concern me!" All Might retorted back, clenching his fist tightly. "I know about your Queen's plan to take over our world, and I won't stand for it!"

With that, the Pro lunged towards Igeron at high speed, getting ready to strike. "Carolina..." All Might started as he crossed his arms in a cross position.

"Pitiful..."

"SMASH!" All Might delivered a downward cross slash on Igeron, who took the full force of the Carolina Smash. But All Might saw that the attack had no effect on the monster and became confused.

 "Is that all, human?" Igeron snickered  and looked at All Might. He tried to grab the Hero, but All Might quickly dodged it by bending backward. 

"Guess Young Suzuni wasn't wrong when she said it had no effect on you." All Might said and punched Igeron in the stomach. "Let's try this!" All Might delivered a left and right hook on Igeron's chest, only to do no damage.

Seeing this, All Might leaped back to gain some distance. "Doesn't even matter where I punch you, does it?" All Might questioned as he prepared for another assault.

"You really think you have a chance against me?" Igeron scoffed with a smirk. "I'm honestly surprised that you and the rest of this lowlife trash haven't figured it out by now. Thanks to that robotic ingrate, my Queen's forces and I are all IMMUNE to your so-called special QUIRKS!" Igeron explained loudly for everyone present to hear.

"W-What..." Momo gasped softly.

"N-No way." Kirishima muttered with shocked eyes.

'Immune to Quirks...?' Todoroki thought with the same expression.

"That's not possible, damn it!" Bakugo growled, clenching his fist.

Over near the Rangers, they were surprised by what Igeron said as well.

"Scrozzle made them immune to Quirks?" Ayumi questioned out loud.

"That must've explained with Izuku's punch that it didn't even faze him earlier..." Cyrus assumed. 

"But how?" Kiba asked with gobsmacked look.

"Bastard must've been studying everyone's quirks since that attack with the Big Bad Wolf." Reina replied with a click of her teeth.

At that moment, Sora thought back to how the Batzlers were able to handle his attacks and Endeavor's flames when Wolfbane attacked. 'I knew it.' He mentally said through heavy breaths. 'Scrozzle did make Wolfbane and Alsatia's Batzlers immune to Quirks.' He then looked over and saw All Might's face grimace slightly. 'Looks like he realized it, too.'

"Now, do you see what you're up against!?" Igeron bellowed with his arm spread out. "No matter how strong a 'hero' you claim to be, it means nothing if your power can't affect us!"

All Might clenched his fists tightly as his blue eyes lit up with determination. "Whether my power harms you or not makes no difference!" He declared loudly and glared at his foe. "A real hero...Will always find a way for justice to be served!"

Igeron snorted at this. "Then, by all means... try and stop me. If you can, that is." He taunted.

Launching himself at Igeron, All Might cocked his fist back for a punch. "Detriot..."

"A-All Might, no!" Sora called out, but to no avail.

With less effort, Igeron managed to knock aside the hero's punch with his unarmed hand, before slashing All Might across the side, somehow hitting the painful and scarring wound that the Pro Hero kept hidden by his muscles.

All Might coughed up a flurry of blood as his entire body erupted with pain, agony attacking each of his nerves. This was the first of his attacks that did any real damage. It left the hero stumbling to recover as Igeron hit him with a powerful blast that sent him up in the air before crashing back down on his back.

All Might laid there as his strong form began to deteriorate. 'Ugh...damnit! He hit my weak point twice.' He thought weakly, coughing up more blood as he tried to maintain his form.

The Rangers were climbing back up to their knees when they noticed what was going on.

"All Might!" Ayumi shouted in shock.

"No way...!" Cyrus gaped.

"He got the big guy!?" Kiba shouted out.

"Damnit!" Reina gritted her teeth.

The gathered group were now stunned in horror as they witnessed All Might on the ground due to Igeron.

"Did anyone see what that horse guy just did? He knocked down All Might!" Kirishima said, pointing his finger at the battle with wide eyes.

"How in the world is that possible!?" Momo asked, with a shocked face.

"There's no way, right? Has to be his Quirk, isn't it?" Bakugo asked, trying to climb to his feet.

"Unreal. The way he's beating both All Might and the Power Rangers." Todoroki said, not believing what he was seeing.

The Pro was approached by Igeron. The centaur general trouted over nonchalantly and smirked down at the distressed man. However, upon seeing the bloodied injury on the left of All Might's stomach, he raised a hoof and stomped on the injury. The sensation of pain was so great that even All Might let out a cry.

"You fucking bastard!" Bakugo yelled out in rage.

"Leave him alone, you freak!" Kirishima shouted out while watching this on the ground.

"This does bring me back to all the times I've tortured my victims across the galaxy. " Igeron taunted. His victim could only shudder and gag as the air was of no supply. Inhaling only served to sting and hurt his throat.

Igeron raised a hand before making a fist and drove it down to All Might's chest, making the man scream out in pain again.

"That's right! This is how weak your kind really is!" Igeron punched at the Pro's body with his fist, inflicting more pain on him. "You are flawless creatures that must be eliminated!" He continues to deliver more punishment to him.

"Leave him alone!" Ayumi cried out, tears running down her face.

"Stop it!" Momo pleaded with her but to no avail.

"All Might!" Kiba, Reina, Shoto, and Cyrus all shouted out in worry as they couldn't help but watch this madness.

Sora, who was hearing this, balled up his fist in rage at the Pro's cries and that Igeron saw them as if their very existence was a complete waste and that Alsatia had every right to take.

"Enough!" Sora exclaimed loudly, getting Igeron, All Might, and his friends' attention onto him.

"Huh?!" Igeron acutely looked bewildered by what he saw the human doing. "What is he doing?!"

"Y-Young Ukashi..." All Might wheezed out.

Using his remaining strength to push his body, Sora managed to get on one knee and try to slowly push his back up while struggling in the process. Then he immediately stumbled back to the floor before catching himself from falling to the ground as he resumes his attempt to stand back up again.

The Hero Force leader frustratingly gritted his teeth with his whole body aching in pain before letting out a mighty cry that got Igeron, All Might, and his friends' attention onto him.

"HHHHAAAAAAAAAAA!" Sora screamed out at the top of his lungs while pushing himself back up with all his might, which worked as he was now back on his feet which surprised everyone there.

"Sora..." Ayumi said looking at the boy in amazement.

"This can't be..." Igeron said with a slightly surprised look before glaring daggers at him. "How can you still be standing!?" He demanded to know.

"That's the thing about us Power Rangers, Igeron..." Sora while breathing heavily before giving a cocky smirk to the centaur general, which only pissed him off to his amusement. "We're too damn stubborn to stay down, especially if the lives of the innocent are on the line. No matter how many times you make us fall, we'll get back up even stronger than before." He said to the general in a confident but serious tone.

"Now that's Plus Ultra." Sero said in awe at the Red Ranger's unbreakable will.

"Damn, Ukashi... you really are something else," Sato said while being impressed.

Igeron only snorted in annoyance at the human's remark. "Well, it doesn't matter either way, because nothing has changed. You're mine now, little human." He proclaims as the Ranger prepares for a fight.

"Freaks like you, don't stand a chance against us!" Sora said while holding up his Pyro Saber in his right hand.

"Still playing hero I see..." Igeron chuckles sinisterly back at the eager teen. "I can't wait to see you break under my thumb."

"Call of the Hero!" Sora exclaimed as he charged forward with a battle cry, morphing into his Ranger form, and prepared his saber for a powerful strike. As he landed the blow, Igeron held up his javelin and blocked the powerful attack. With his other arm, he knocks Sora away only for him to block the attack at the last second, as he backflips a few feet away from the alien general.

"Give up boy," Igeron announces with an evil grin. "You don't stand a chance."

"I can do this all day!" Sora shouted back, as Igeron pointed his weapon at the Ranger and prepared his next move.

The alien centaur shot several energy blasts at Sora, who acrobatically dodged with flips and agility before deflecting away the remaining attack coming his way. He then quickly closed the distance between them, as he rushed at Igeron in a red blur but unfortunately, Igeron was able to react quickly enough to block Sora's sword strike with his left gauntlet.

"Not bad, human." Igeron gloats with a grin while holding his opponent in a stalemate. "Too bad I'm strong enough to pick up on your speed." He said as Sora held pressure on his sword.

"Well, you can't blame me for trying," The brunette said while pushing hard to overpower the alien with his weapon. "But I still have plenty of tricks up my sleeves!" He stated before he, shockingly, used more of his strength to push Igeron, making his eyes widen from Sora's unexpected newfound strength as he took a couple of steps back against his will. "Time to send you back to whatever ranch where you came from!"

"Hey, some of my best friends were born from ranches!" Igeron said before cackling a little and moving his gauntlets away from Sora's sword to stop him from pushing him back even more. "We have longer lifespans than you humans, and we'll be here long after you're gone!"

Igeron smacks Sora around the area with his backhand, as the teen uses his Pyro Saber to keep him in line but the alien general vastly overpowers him. Igeron forces Sora to his knees, sword in hand, as his back is against a pile of rubble. Sora tries to prevent himself from taking damage but Igeron lands his javelin on his left shoulder, which makes him wince in pain from the pressure being applied.

"Just accept defeat, Ranger!" Igeron said as he was taking great pleasure in making him suffer. "Your species has always been pathetic creatures. You never stood a chance against the Royal Empire." He said menacingly, becoming overconfident.

"Not a chance, asshat!" Sora said taking advantage of his position to draw his Brave Blaster from its holster, before firing three shots at the unprotected part of Igeron's body in point blank range, which made Igeron stumble back with sparks flying off his body.

"Tch, luckily shot..." Igeron grumbled in slight pain while holding his stomach where he got shot.

"We'll never give up," Sora said, struggling to get back on his feet. "No matter how hard you strike, we'll strike back even harder!" He stated before charging at his foe.

Sora ducks under an attack by rolling forward on the ground, as he quickly stands back up to make his way back at the alien before swinging his sword. Igeron turned to face him, and Sora managed to land a few good blows against him, but Igeron quickly took back the advantage by knocking him to the ground. Sora immediately got back up to charge at him again, but Igeron blocked the sword before kicking him back on the floor with his back hooves, making the teen roll back on his stomach.

"Fight all you want, you'll still lose," Igeron said as he watched the human get back up for another useless assault on him. "The future belongs to Alsatia!" The alien then used his gauntlet to bash Sora in the face with maximum force, and sent him flying backs across the area before he rolls down on the floor in pain.

"Sora!" His teammates yelled out in concern, as they watched Igeron walking over to their downed leader.

"Ukashi!" Kirishima and the others called out, worried for their classmate.

"YOUNG UKASHI!!" All Might shouted. 'I have to help him, but I won't be able to maintain this form much longer! Damnit!'

Sora pulled his hands back and soon got on his knees despite the pain he was in as Igeron stopped a few feet away from him.

"You don't understand a thing about us humans," Sora spoke, before looking up and showing that the right side of his helmet and visor was cracked open, revealing the right side of his face that was now bleeding.

"You don't understand a thing about us humans," Sora spoke, before looking up and showing that the right side of his helmet and visor was cracked open, revealing the right side of his face that was now bleeding

(Like this.)

"We'll always come back fighting. Especially when the odds are against us. When we are at our most vulnerable, our true strength comes out." He gets back to his feet, readying his weapon. "We'll always get back up. That's why 'Evil doesn't stand a chance against us!'" He stated out loud for everyone to hear.

Reina, Cyrus, Kiba, and Ayumi just smiled proudly at Sora's hero nature and willingness to never quit, despite the fact that he could barely stand.

The others and All Might, heard this and were speechless by Sora's unbreakable resolution and couldn't help but be amazed by how cool he is right now.

"Holy crap! How can he still move?" Sero muttered with a god-struck expression.

"Such a strong will..." Shoji said in awe.

"It's like he's invincible," Ochaco said in complete awe and respect for Sora.

'So manly...'  Kirishima thought as he looked at the Red Ranger.

'That's right kid! Don't stay down! Keep on fighting!' All Might was mentally cheering him on.

"This time you'll stay down for good!" Igeron shouts as he charges towards Sora in a burst of speed with his javelin ready.

Everything started to slow down around the Hero Force Ranger leader, as his heightened senses kicked in with Sora seeing Igeron coming at him normally, but at a fast pace while making everyone witnessing this see the alien centaur charging rapidly at the quirkless boy.

Sora waited at the last possible moment before leaping up into the air with a front backflip, narrowly avoiding Igeron's attack, which shocked the alien centaur.

As Sora descended back to the ground, he held up his sword. "Pyro Saber!" He lowered his arms as hot flames came up behind him, in the form of a blazing condor, as he put both hands on the sword while holding it near his head, with fire engulfing around the blade.

"What?!" Igeron yelled out while turning back at the human. As an act of desperation, he held up his weapon, with both hands, attempting to block the attack.

'This is where all my training will pay off!' Sora thought as the moment his left foot touched the ground, he twisted his body back at the centaur. "Firebird Slash!" He exclaimed loudly, twisting the sword slightly. He then slashed it downwards, unleashing a powerful flame strike that sliced Igeron's javelin in half and also damaged his armor in the process. The impact caused a massive explosion on impact, sending a fiery shockwave racing out.

The alien centaur was knocked back while screaming in pain with a stunned expression on his face.

He wasn't the only one, as the others watching this were beyond amazed by the move Sora just pulled off despite the situation.

"Yes!" Ayumi cheered happily.

"He got him!" Cyrus said with a mad grin.

"Only he could have done something like that," Reina said with a smile.

"Go, buddy!" Kiba said with a nod.

"Whoa!" Mineta said with a shocked expression

"I have to admit that was pretty impressive, ribbit." Tsuyu thought as she was taken by surprise at the Ranger's counterattack.

Igeron staggered before looking at Sora and laughing a little. "Not bad, human. But this is far from over. You may have landed a good hit, but it was not enough to beat me." He retorts back with an evil grin.

"I know..." Sora said, breathing heavily while staying to keep his balance.

"Sora!" A voice said made Sora and Igeron turn their heads to see Ayumi, Cyrus, Reina, and Kiba still de-morphed, running up next to their friend with several scrapes and bruises.

"Glad to see ya still standing, buddy." Kiba snickered, patting him on the back.

"I figured you guys might need a little rest before beating him." Sora snorted back.

"Well, we did enjoy watching you kick his ass around." Reina said while hitting his shoulder.

"We were worried for you a bit, but I'm glad you're alright." Ayumi said to him, sweetly.

"Now let's show this guy who he's messing with." Cyrus said with determination.

"You think you can beat me?" Igeron stated in disbelief before bursting into a fit of crazed laughter at the very notion. "I'd like to see you Rangers just try it!" He roared while releasing his power to the max, as he was ready to end this fight.

"Let's go." Sora said to his team with everyone nodding back to him in return, as they followed his lead. "Time to kick some kick ass!"

(Cue You Say Run)

"Right!" The other Rangers shouted in unison as they lined up with their leader as they pressed the red Morph button on their morphers, causing them to start glowing with their respective color. They then thrusted their left arms out together. "Call of the Hero!" They shouted in unison as they pulled their left arms back and used their right hands to spin the Morphers' top half at the same time, morphing into their Rangers within bursts of light.

"Till the Age of Heroes ends, Rangers defend!!!" The five of them shouted together in sync for everyone to hear while getting into new poses. "Power Rangers Hero Force!"

Igeron snarled in anger, as he had enough of these stupid humans. "Enough of this games! Do you know how many rebellions I've put down? How many worlds I've conquered? How many fools  I've killed? And you think you can beat me? I am Igeron!" The alien centaur snapped in rage as he raised both his arms up. "It doesn't matter how many of you there are, it won't be enough to be me!" He raised up his front hooves and slammed them down to create an even more powerful shockwave attack traveling towards the Rangers.

The shockwave hits its mark as the Hero Force Rangers were caught in the explosion, leaving nothing but smoke and flames. Everyone thought the Rangers were dead, until they jumped through the fire without so much as a scratch on them and ran towards Igeron, with their Hero weapons in hand.

"Just die already!" Igeron shouted while charging at the incoming Power Rangers.

"What!?" Igeron shouted in disbelief.

Then, out of nowhere, Reina appeared in front of the monster. "Terra Axe!" She yelled and spun her body around along with spinning her axe, slashing Igeron across the body several times.

"Sea Lance !" Cyrus shouted, swinging his weapon around, rushing at Igeron in a burst of water to jab the centaur alien across the side in an instant.

"ARGHHH!" Igeron screamed out in absolute pain from the attack, leaving enough time for the Rangers to exploit onto.

"Savanna Claws!" Cyrus shouted, slashing into Igeron's stomach twice with eletrice power and making him skid backward before coming to a stop.

"Sky Bowgun!" Ayumi called out before jumping into the air and fired several pink laser arrows hit the ground around Igeron, and created explosions that knocked him off his feet.

"ARGHHH!" Igeron screamed out in absolute pain from the attack, leaving enough time for the Rangers to exploit. "How is this possible? No matter how much I try, they refuse to go down." He regained balance and panted, as he saw the Rangers regroup together and glared directly at him. "Why aren't they destroyed!?"

"Alright! Let's finish this!" Sora ordered, holding up a fist.

"Right!" said Cyrus and Ayumi, doing the same.

"Bet!" Kiba and Reina nodded together, being the last of the group.

"Weapons Combine!"

The five weapons flew into the air and as they began to combine together into one super weapon. The Sky Bowgun was faced horizontally as the Savanna Claws launched and connected onto both sides of the Bowgun, facing forward, acting as additional barrels to the cannon. The Sea Lance then connected to the front of the Crossbow's, similar to an arrow. Finally, the Pyro Sword was locked in on top of the cannon, similar to where an arrow would be placed in a crossbow as the Terra Axe connected to the front of the bowgun's handle, with the bottom half facing forward.

"Justice Striker!" They shouted before Sora aimed it at Igeron, as Reina and Kiba crouched down and held up the end of it, as Cyrus and Ayumi touched Sora's shoulders to hold him in place. 

Meanwhile, as all of this was happening, Igeron was struggling to remain standing, as he was nearly reaching his limit to continue this battle.

"This can be happening! It's impossible! I'm Queen Alsatia's Top General!"  He thought to himself, as his whole body was aching in pain. "No! I can't let things end like this!" The centaur general then faced the heroes and and started to gather red electric energy within his body.

"What the hell going on now?!" Bakugo yelled as he and everyone else was watching this insane battle from the distance.

"Everyone brace yourself!" Shoto said to everyone seriously as he knew what was coming. "This could be the final attack that will decide everything!"

"She's right. This next attack will decide the winner of this fight." Momo thought with a bit of nervousness, as she just wanted this to be over with.

"Come on Rangers! I know you can do this!" All Might hopefully thought while not taking her eye off the final moment that would decide everything.

"I'm done playing around with these humans! It's too dangerous to let any of them live!" Igeron thought as he used every bit of power he had to force to burst outward. "Tartarus Blast!" He shouted while spreading his arms out and unleashing a wave of red energy around his body.

Both sides have now finished up charging up their attacks and proceed to the moment of truth.

"NOW DIE!" Igeron shouted while moving his arms forward together, as two intense red beams of electric energy shot out from his hands and straight at the Hero Force Rangers, with the beams traveling across the ground splitting the floor open on either side as dust and debris was shattering everywhere.

"Ready!" Ayumi and Reina shouted together.

"Aim!" Kiba and Cyrus shouted together.

"Fire!" Sora shouted, before pulling the trigger as The Justice Striker immediately sent out a powerful, rainbow-colored laser beam that raced across the battlefield.

The Rangers' special attack met with Igeron's beams head-on, briefly creating a shockwave that sent tremors across the landscape of the plaza and the water in the Shipwreck Zone violently swirling around as two great powers clashed. The impact was so forceful that a ripple of air spilled outwards, as It now became a tug of war between both powerful attacks with it being a stalemate at the moment.

Due to the brightness of the attack, All Might and the students watching the battle could barely keep their eyes open from the blown-up dust and debris, as both combatants tried to overpower each other with their clash.

Then the tug-of-war power clash begins to change as the Hero Force Rangers' attack begin to slowly pull back the general's Tartarus Blast.

"What?!" Igeron cried out, as he'd poured every bit of power into his attack and was struggling to hold on.

"Alright guys! This is it!!" Sora declared, with their attack quickly overtook the red beam more and more by the second. "It's time to go beyond...!"

"PLUS ULTRRRRRRAAAA!!!" The Rangers exclaimed in unison as their beam then bursted through Igeron's attack and continued onward. The alien horse-man could only watch in shock and horror as he had been bested.

"N-No! This is Impossible! They're actually beating me! An elite of the Royal Empire!" Igeron screamed in disbelief before getting smashed by the incoming attack. "GAHHHHHHHHH!" The alien general cries out in painful scream while being surrounded by a giant fiery explosion.

[End Music]

The power of the attack was so great, that it even tore up a good portion of the plaza making the whole building violently shake from the explosion, as the ground beneath cracked and shattered to bits, debris rising and falling in almost every direction with All Might, Shoto, Kirishima, Momo, Bakugo, and the other students were now on the ground and covering each other to shielded themselves from the powerful explosion.

The Power Rangers covered up from the dust and shockwave that reached out towards them. The violent winds nearly blew the young heroes away, but they stood their ground long enough until the dust and winds subsided.

Everyone who saw the Rangers' final attack, looked with amazement. No one even moved an inch as they witnessed the incredible fight. Even for Momo, Todoroki, Kirishima, and Bakugo as they managed to climb up to their feet, with a bit of diffculty.

"That was like a video game boss fight!" Kirishima exclaimed in excitement. "Overpowering that villain's attack. I knew that Ukashi's squad was strong, but..."

Todoroki was silent as he stared at the backs of the Rangers. But then he narrowed his eyes. How could they have that amount of power, if they were Quirkless?

Bakugo was also left in total shock, as the group he saw as a bunch of extras demonstrated their amazing powers over and over again. His fist clenched tightly as he tried to keep back the burning jealousy. How had those bastards done it? What were their methods? And just how in the hell could they beat down a villain that even All Might couldn't!?

'It's a good thing none of us weren't anywhere near that blast or we be dead."  Momo thought while shivering at all the destruction in the plaza. She turned her gaze back to the Rangers. "It looks like it's finally ov-"

"Wait! Hold up!" Sora shouted out loud which cut off the everyone's chatter. "I don't think it's over!" He said pointing at the flames, as he saw something in it.

"No way! It can't be!" Ayumi shouted with wide eyes.

"Wow, talk about a glutton for punishment!" Kiba gaped in atonishment.

Then much to everyone's horror, Igeron emerged from the flames with a mighty bellow but was also badly injured and steam came off his body as he was beyond angry right now. Had it not been for the armor Scrozzle crafted, he was sure he would've been destroyed right now.

Soon everyone started to freak out again as the battle wasn't far from over just yet.

"That's not possible!" Kirishima yelled in disbelief.

"Oh, come on! He survived something like that!" Mineta complained in frustration.

"Their combined attack was seriously powerful, and yet his still standing!" All Might thought, looking at the fight too from afar.

"Just how tough is this guy?!" Shoto asked in shock.

"You damn, Power Parasites..." Igeron said breathing heavily from his injuries. "I'm going to make you pay for this!"

"Make us pay? Get real Horse' Ass. You look like you can barely stand." Reina insulted the creature with a cocky tone, as she and the other Rangers took back their indiviual weapons.

"Either it's over for you Igeron." Cyrus told the centaur in a stern tone, with his lancer pointed at him. "So don't make these any harder on yourself and give up now." He said only infuriating the monster.

"This isn't over until I say so!" Igeron argued both before a red aura spreading out his body. "If I can't take you insects down like this, then I'll trash this entire planet and every stinking human on it!" He declared out loud much to everyone's shock and horror, before pressing a button on his gauntlet and beaming straight out of the USJ.

USJ - Afternoon

"He's gonna what?!" Kirishima shouted in surprise.

"We have to stop him before someone gets hurt!" Sora said before turning to face All Might while getting his attention. "All Might, we're going after Igeron. Can you focus on getting the rest of the class out of here until the teachers arrive?"

"... Of course!" All Might said with a nod, knowing that this fight was out of his league. He leaned up as he held his injury and focused his attention on protecting the other students. "I'll leave this one to you, Rangers! Stop that villain!" He shouted to the Hero Force Rangers, shocking the rest of the class, as he was allowing them to fight against the centaur villain.

"Hey, that's not fair! Why is it that they're allowed to fight?!" Bakugo yelled angrily, as he was pissed off for not being allowed to fight.

"Because this is something only they can do, no one else." All Might told the boy, as Bakugo gritted his teeth in rage from being unable to fight.

"Cyrus..." Momo said, worried about the bluenette and his friends.

"Don't worry. We'll be fine." Cyrus reassured her.

"Cy's right; we've got this." Reina added in before giving her classmates a two-fingered salute. "And we'll make sure to give him a few good hits for you guys."

"Let's get going!" Sora said, clenching his fist.

"Right!" Ayumi and Kiba nodded in agreement.

They all then pressed down on their morphers and teleported away, out of the USJ, in their respective colors.

"H-Hey, wait!" Kirishima exclaimed, reaching out to them.

"What did he mean by trashing our entire planet and every person on it?" Momo asked as she wasn't going to like the answer to her question.

"My guess is that creature plans to eliminate everyone and everything in his path since he couldn't beat Ukashi and his friends." Shoto theorized, as everyone was now worried about that monster.

"Coward!" Bakugo snarled in rage.

"This is really bad. We have to contact the teachers before it's too late." Momo said as she knew that they didn't have the power to stop that monster on their own.

"That won't be necessary because we're already here." A familiar voice said, making all the young students look up in surprise to see who it was that has arrived in their hour of need.

It was the Pro Heroes of U.A.'s staff, who entered the building altogether. Those at the entrance looked at them with wide smiles and even tears of joy.

"Sorry, everyone. I know we're a bit late." Principal Nezu said, riding on Vlad King's shoulder with a smile. "But I got the teachers over here as fast as I could."

"They're here!" All Might grunted out with his gaze at the stairs.

"Everyone! Secure the perimeter and rescue any remaining students!" Nezu ordered as he looked at two teachers. "Ectoplasm, Present Mic. Go further ahead. Your abilities will allow yourselves to protect and fight at the same time."

"Sir!" The two responded, jumping down. Present Mic quickly descended down the stairs by sliding down the rails, blasting off with a burst from his Quirk, Voice, into the nearest Zone. For Ectoplasm, as he jumped down, he opened his mouth, allowing ectoplasm in its literal form to release itself. Shortly after, the substance began to split off and form into clones of himself.

"Spread out." The main one muttered. With a nod from his clones, they all dispersed. From above, Nezu then smiled as the man he rode on placed him down.

"Good. Everyone else, disperse as well. Snipe, keep an eye out with your bullets. Cementoss, prepare to neutralize any potential disasters created in the USJ. Use your Quirk to block them off." He quickly pointed in several directions.

"I'm on the job." Snipe quickly ran down with Cementoss, who made his way over to All Might.

"The teachers are here!" Momo sighed in relief.

"If all the teachers are gathered here, it must mean the rest of the school is safe." Todoroki said, rubbing the back of his neck. "The villains attacked this facility, but not the rest of the campus."

It was at that point that Midnight approached the group in concern. "Are you all unharmed?" She asked in a concerned voice, seeing how badly injured they are.

"Y-Yeah... I think... just a couple of bruises." Kirishima said as he and the others' injuries weren't life-threatening.

"But nothing too serious." Shoto added in, as they were mostly okay.

"Tsk, it's going to take more than that to bring me down." Bakugo scoffed said with a stone-cold face.

Momo frowned. "We're fine, but..." She replied before pointing up at the ceiling. "Hado and his friends, the other Rangers, have gone after a villain called Igeron!"

Midnight's face went shocked for a moment before her eyes narrowed firmly. "I see. So, that means they must be making their move..."

"Wait, you know about him?" Kirishima asked in a bit of surprise, as were the others.

"Only by name and his reputation, but that's it. But if he's here, then things are about to turn from bad to worse." Midnight said with a deadly serious tone that made everyone there flinch in concern.

"Is he really that bad?" Shoto asked.

"Trust me, you don't want to know the half of it." Midnight said with a grim.

"Yes, Ukashi and his team explained to us about these creatures and their leader's goal." Midnight said with a tone of profession. "However, now's not the time for that. You all should regroup with the rest of your class, and I'll inform Nezu about the situation."

"Wait, what about Midoriya and All Might? Those two are in really bad shape." Kirishima told her.

"No worries. Cementoss will make sure that both of them are fine and get them to Recovery Girl in no time." Midnight sent him a reasurring smile as she escorted them to the staircase. "Come on, let's get you all to the medics."


Musutafu, Japan

Igeron appeared on a large building's roof and was boiling with rage as he was going to take his anger out on this whole planet.

"Damn those, Rangers! I'm going to make them for humiliating me!" He seethed, growling in rage before looking down at his clenched fist. "I can't believe I've resorted to using the 'Trump Card'... but if it means I can kill the Rangers, then so be it!"

He then tapped into his inner power without hesitation holding his hand high into the sky, as he was soon engulfed in a red light.

Then suddenly out of nowhere, thunder crackled above the city, which immediately drew the attention of everyone there, as this made the citizens, police, and Pro heroes in the area of the city to glance up into the sky.

In the sky above the city, everyone there in the area saw red electrical energy flashing across the air before shaping itself into a gigantic red orb hovering in the sky. It solidified and round, covered by a surge of red energy that rippled from its form, and trembled as if it could collapse in on itself at any moment.

The citizens were struck with looks of horror at what they were watching and knew what was coming out of that gigantic shape of power. Then the next thing that happened threw everyone into utter chaos as a gigantic version of Igeron burst through the orb and plummeted to the ground below. This resulted in an abandoned office building exploding as it was crushed under the Centaur General's hooves, and the city quaked much to everyone's disbelief and horror.

Not only that, but he had a whole new appearance that's much more terrifying than his previous one. He not only has large horns and pupil-less eyes, but his hair is now wider, and he has a large red mane, resembling that of a lion's. He now wears pauldrons made of red fur. His skin is now much darker than it was previously, and his torso armor was ripped off, revealing his bare, muscular ches

"What is that!?" Someone shouted in a panicked tone.

"Villain!" Another screamed out.

"RAAAAAAAAH!" Igeron let out a blood-curdling roar that could shake the heavens, before leaving mass destruction in his wake with a large explosion going off in the surrounding area and more buildings being damaged or destroyed in the process, as this was something straight out of a nightmare. This sight was enough to freak out everyone there and the ones watching from different locations, and the civilians ran like crazy. The centaur general began going on a destructive rampage, and needless to say, the heroes and law enforcers in Japan immediately got into action.


In Space - Alsatia's Ship

W-What did he just do!?" Scrozzle cried out in surprise.

"So, he's using the full power of his Trump Card." Aizawa hummed in acknowledgment.

Scrozzle looked up at her in confusion. "His what?"

"Ah. My apologies." The space Queen said, looking at him from the corner of her eye. "It seems that I've never told you about that. You see, before Igeron and Ernesh served by my side as my generals, they both originally served in my father's army, which consisted of some of the most powerful and terrifying warriors in the entire universe."

"You're not wrong about them being terrifying." Scrozzle muttered before flinching after Ernesh growled threateningly at him.

Alsatia merely raised a hand to calm Ernesh. "As I was saying, when these warriors have earned a place in my father's army, he would bestow upon them a fragment of his power that he likes to call a 'Trump Card'. And as you can see, these Trump Cards are quite powerful; giving them the ability to transform into a form more powerful and more terrifying than their previous form."

"But let's how he fares against those Rangers." Ernesh spoke lowly.


USJ - Entrance

Once the U.A staff managed to gather all of the students back together and escorted them outside, it didn't take long for everyone else to see Igeron grow into the size of a mountain! He also wields a giant javelin, which was fixed.

"RAAAAAAAAH!" He roared loudly before swinging his right arm into a building that destroyed it, which caused more panic to the street.

Seeing this made everyone's eyes widen in pure shock and fear when they saw the size of the monster.

"You got to be shitting me!" Bakugo yelled out with his eyes widened at the giant monster rampaging through the city, destroying everything in his path. "WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT!?"

"T-This can't be r-real." Momo said nervously gulping a large amount of saliva down her throat at what she was seeing right now.

"MOMMY!" Mineta and Kaminari both shouted while hugging each other and crying out to their own mothers in terror.

"That villain...he had the ability to grow like that?" Jiro asked as she and other girls looked at the giant monster in horror.

"No way...!" Ochaco cried out, pure fear in her eyes.

"It can't be!" Mina shouted out in worry, as she gazed at the monster. "He's giant!"

"That's not possible! He had a Quirk like that?!" Sato said with widened eyes, staring at the beast.

"It's huge!" Tsuyu said, gasping in terror at the giant monster.

"Really, really huge!" Toru yelled while trembling in fear as if her legs were going to give out.

"Hahaha." Sero weakly chuckled nervously, as his face had a look of horror on it. "Come on now. This isn't even funny." He said while trying his hardest not to freak out.

Others like Todoroki, Tokoyami, and Shoji all looked at the massive monster with looks of shock and disbelief.

"To think he had the power to grow into such a monstrous size..." Vald King said with a serious expression on his face.

"Yes, it really is a troubling ability for an enemy to possess." Ectoplasm said in agreement at how bad things have gotten.

Soon after, several Police Cars, SWAT trucks, and ambulance trucks arrived at the entrance next to the bus that Class 1-A was on, Tsukauchi, Tamakawa, and Serena were the first ones to get out of their cars and run to the class.

"We came as soon as we got the call!" Tsukauchi informed them. "Is everyone alright?"

"Are the villains still inside?" Tamakawa asked.

" We got a few that are injured, but everyone else is fine." Vlad King replied.

"As for the villains...I'm afraid not." Midnight shook her head. "We got word that Igeron, the centaur monster from before, arrived and murdered them.

This information shocked Tsukauchi, as he wasn't expecting to hear that.

Serena looked around looking for a certain group. "Where's my son Sora and his friends?" She questioned.

"Midnight informed me that your son and his friends are alright. As of right now, they're currently going after the centaur monster who's now attacking the city." Nezu replied as he pointed his paw towards the giant centaur.

After turning to the direction Nezu was pointing at, the Police Force couldn't help but stare at the scene before them with their eyes widened and their jaws hitting the ground.

"Principal Nezu, you can't be serious!" Iida said in disbelief.

"Of course, I am." Nezu chirped happily before looking at the teachers. "Surely, most of you remember what happened back a while back when that bulldozer villain first arrived nearly a year ago? As well as the Entrance Exam?"

At that moment, Mina, Jiro and the teachers' eyes all widened in shock as they thought back to that day when the Zero-pointer came out.

"Oh. Right." Was all Present Mic, Vlad King, Snipe said.

"How could anyone forget that?" Midnight asked, unknowingly rubbing her legs together. "That was a very INTENSE moment."

"What are you all talking about?" Todoroki questioned, wondering what the teachers were thinking.

"Trust me, kid. You'll want to see if for yourselves." Present Mic told the class.


With the Rangers

The Rangers then landed in the middle of a destroyed road and then looked at the destruction.

"Oh, man!" Kiba said, rubbing the back of his helmet. "Look at this mess."

"Son of a bitch!" Reina said with a low angry tone.

"This is bad! If we don't stop him, then he'll destroy the whole city!" Ayumi said to her team about how bad the situation is right now.

"Then it's time we go big as well!" Cyrus suggested with his leader knowing what he meant by that.

"Right." Sora nodded to the Rangers then moved quickly to stand side by side: Sora in the middle, Ayumi on his left and Reina on his right with Kiba on Reina's right and Cyrus on Ayumi's left.

The Hero Rangers held up their Morphers and sent their respective beams of color into the sky to open up five gigantic portals of red, black, blue, yellow, and pink.

"WE NEED PALADIN ZORD POWER, NOW!"


Command Center: Zord Hangar

Meanwhile, in the Zord Hangar, The Paladin Zords heard the call right before their eyes lit up. A portal opens up in front of each other as

The Condor Paladin Zord screeched as it flew through the red portal.

The Bull Paladin Zord then let out a moo and ran through the black portal.

The Stallion Paladin Zord neighed loudly and galloped through the blue portal.

The Lion Paladin Zord roared fierecly as it ran through the yellow portal.

The Swan Paladin Zord whistled as it flew through the pink portal.

Once all Zords were through, the portals all closed up behind them.While they were traveling through the portal, the Zords all let out various roars, screeches, and moos. The Lion Zord in the center, the Bull Zord on the right, the Condor above the Bull Zord. The Stallion Zord on the left side of the Lion Zord, and the Swan Zord flew above the Stallion Zord. The Paladin Zords roared as one upon seeing the end of the tunnel.


USJ - Afternoon

Back at the USJ, the five titan-sized Zords appeared out of the portal as they ran through the city together.

Iida's glasses dropped off of his face from the Zords and was having a hard time processing everything that was happening.

"A-Are those giant robots...?" Sero asked with a bewildered and stunned expression.

"I think they are." Ojiro said with a similar expression.

Bakugo and Todoroki both had pure shocked expressions as their mouths hung open at what they were seeing.

"It's those machines from before!" Mina cheered loudly, upon seeing the Zords again.

Koda looked on in awe at the giant mechas, especially considering they were animal based.

Aoyama's face was sparkling like a christmas tree and was extremely pleased by the sight.

Ochaco, Tsuyu, Momo were all beyond stunned and amazed by the Zords' appearances.

Mineta fell on his butt as he stared at the giant robots in shock and fear. "Wait, t-t-t-those things belong to Ukashi's group!?"

"How do they have access to something like that?!" Kaminari screeched like a little girl.

"I don't know, but they're unlike anything I've seen before!" Shoji said as Tokoyami nodded in agreement

"Hot damn...!" Sato added in together.

"S-S-So manly...." Kirishima repeated over and over like a mantra.

"Aw yeah! Now THAT'S what I'm talking about!!" Present Mic cheered loudly, upon seeing the Zords again.

"Oh my God..." Serena said in awe with here eyes widened. "Sora and his friends are piloting those?"

"Ah...Ah..." Tsukauchi, Tamakawa, and the entire police force gaped like a school of fish with disbelief expressions.


"Hero Force, let's move!" Sora whooped.

The Rangers all jumped up and landed in their Zords cockpits, surprising the police and students that witnessed all of this. The team then appeared in the cockpits of their zords.

"Time to get give him a fight worth remembering. Ready to bring 'em together." Sora said, placing his hand on a button in front of him.

"Ready!" Cyrus shouted, doing the same.

"Ready!" Reina copied, doing the same.

"Ready!" Kiba said, doing the same.

"Ready!" Ayumi announced, doing the same.

"Do it!" Sora ordered, as they pushed the button in unison.

"Hero Megazord, power up!" The Rangers shouted all together. "Zords Combine!"

MEGAZORD SEQUENCE

The Paladin Zords all began moving forward, all roaring or screeching in the process.

The Bull Zord mooed before it raised itself up on its back legs, as they changed into humanoid ones, then the tops rose up, forming the legs. The top legs retracted inwards, then the head moved up to the top, froming a torso.

The Stallion Zord came up on its right, while the Lion Zord came up on its left, and retracted their limbs into themselves as they attached themselves on either side of it.

The Condor Zord screeched as it flew towards them, then attached itself to the front of the legs, its wings wrapping around the waist. The Swan Zord flew down, with its butt detaching from the rest of it. Its head and wings attached themselves to the back as the butt formed a head with a crown, forming the Paladin Hero Megazord.

The Rangers all sat in the cockpit and stared at Igeron - in the front: Sora in the middle, with Reina on his left and Cyrus on his right. In the back: Kiba on the left and Ayumi on the right.

Then, from outside of the Rangers' cockpit, the Megazord's eyes flashed gold for a brief moment

"Paladin Hero Megazord!"  The five Hero Force Rangers all shouted in sync with the Megazord transformation complete, as the Megazord spun into the air to strike a cool pose, before the sun shines brightly behind the Megazord, giving it a epic glow.  "Ready to defend!"  The Rangers announced proudly out loud.

MEGAZORD SEQUENCE END

Once more, people were stunned, dumbfounded, confounded, bewildered, flabbergasted, astounded, stupefied, dumbstruck, flummoxed, and every other existing synonym due to the bizarre transformation. However, those who remember the massive robot's appearance, cheered loudly for its grand return.

"Hey, it's the giant robot from before!"

"That means...it's those Power Ranger guys!"

"They've come back! We're saved!"


USJ - Afternoon

Back at the USJ, most of everyone's jaws dropped onto the floor.

"Whoa!" Kaminari yelled in awe.

"Holy!" Mina began with wide eyes.

"Shit!" Kirishima and Sero finished with their mouths open.

"W-W-What just h-happened?! D-Did those r-r-robots just c-c-change into a one robot?!" Ochaco yelled, eyes widened again in pure shock.

"Ribbit....!" Tsuyu croaked, her blank expression now replaced with one similar to Ochaco's.

"Unbelievable..." Was all Momo could say.

"Incredible, isn't it?" Jiro muttered to the class.

"Are we seeing things?" Toru asked in disbelief.

"What the hell...?" Bakugo muttered with widened eyes.

"WHAT THE IN HELL!?" Mineta screamed in shock.

"Incredible..." Sato mused out in surprise.

"How is that even possible..." Todoroki stammered in disbelief.

"Ah...!" Serena only went slack jawed.

"Well, I'll be damned..." Tsukauchi asked, not knowing if this was real.

The entire police force gaped like a school of fish with disbelief expressions.

"So cool!" Koda said, eyes beaming from inspiration.

"This has got to be the coolest thing I've ever seen in my life!" Present Mic yelled out with a mad grin.

"It's one thing to see it on TV and another in person..." Midnight murmured in shock while looking at the mechanical machines in amazement, knowing she was going to need a change of panties soon.

A burst of laughter filled the air, as Nezu was laughing maniacally just like he did at the Entrance Exam.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA...YES!" He laughed wholeheartedly. "GO, GO POWER RANGERS! HAHAHAHAHA!"

Igeron roared loudly in anger at the Rangers before charging at the Megazord like a raging wild bull.

In response to this, the Megazord also ran forward to its opponent, fists ready for combat.

When Igeron was about close enough to his opponent, the giant centaur swung his javelin at the Hero Megazord who quickly blocked the attack by bringing up its arm and counter punched Igeron across the chest with its fist that did some damage to the monster, while also agilely twisting its body around in the opposite direction and landing a swift kick behind the beast's back.

"That's gotta hurt." Kiba said with a cocky grin.

"Even I felt that one." Reina said while snickering.

"Lucky shot." Igeron snarled. "Let's see you try to block this!"

Igeron thrusted his javelin, hoping to stab the Hero Megazord's foot, but the mech sidestepped to its left to dodge the attack.

Igeron charged in to swing his weapon, only for the Megazord to duck under the attack... sadly, the building the Megazord was standing in front of got destroyed by the attack.

From inside the Megazord, the Hero Force Rangers grunted when they felt the shockwave of the exploding building and the debris raining down on their robot.

Igeron jumped closer and hit his javelin at the cock-pit, and then the body, but they started to fight it off, dodging past him. It then managed to punch him in the chest, knocking him back slightly. He then slashed it twice with his sword, then they turned to each other, then it blocked another slash with its arm, before whacking him in the chest with it,

Sora pointed at Igeron's weapon. "We need to take out his weapon before he can destroy anything else!"

"Right, so let's break that toothpick of his!" Reina agreed with a devoius smirk.

Seeing the Megazord raise its sword to attack, Igeron attempted to block the attack with his weapon. But that failed since the Hero Zord Saber sliced Igeron's javelin in half and caused damage to the centaur general... and also causing the building that was behind Igeron to be, accidentally, sliced in half.

Igeron shook off the pain and gained a surprised look on his face when he saw what happened to his weapon.

"Oh, come on! Again?!" Igeron yelled furiously as he discarded the pieces of his destroyed weapon.

"Aw, don't cry." Reina reassured sarcastically.

"Yeah. I'm sure your mom will buy you a new one!" Kiba joked.

"I hope that building was insured." Cyrus worriedly hoped as he saw what happened to the building that the Megazord accidentally destroyed.

"I just hope there wasn't anyone in that building." Ayumi worried as she thought about what happened to the people that was inside the building.

"Don't worry. I'm sure the people inside that building already evacuated when they saw Igeron go on a rampage." Sora reassured Ayumi, which she responded with a small smile and a nod.

With Igeron's weapon destroyed, yet again, the Hero Rangers should have no problem taking care of the centaur general.

Furious at their taunting, Igeron let out a loud roar as he galloped towards the Megazord and held out his hand

"You didn't think it was that easy, did you?" He snarled before firing green energy blasts at them from point-blank range, while the Hero Megazord took some damage.

"Argh!" The Rangers screamed in pain while getting shocked by the villain's attack.

"We're not done yet!" Cyrus grunted out as he held his ground.

"Get off our Zord, you hoof bastard!" Reina yelled in irritation.

"Hiya!" The Two Rangers roared before making their counterattack on the villain by performing left knee jab strikes.

The Hero Megazord then immediately knee-jabbed Igeron in the chest hard, which hurts the centuar alien and releases his grip onto them before the Hero Megazord backhanded Igeron in the face to push it away a few feet and stun the creature for a moment, as the Rangers took that moment to finish the fight.

"We got him on the ropes now! It's time to begin our final attack!" Sora said as this was the perfect time to use their finishing move to end this fight.

"Right!" The other Rangers shouted back in agreement.

"MANE SABER!"

[Insert Music: Hero Force - Main Theme]

The Paladin Hero Megazord then raised its sword up as the blade's hilt started to glow bright gold as a giant version of the Hero Force logo logo appeared behind the Megazord.

"Justice Strike!" The Hero Force Rangers shouted together.

The Paladin Hero Megazord then charges forward to swing its blade to unleash a powerful diagonal energy slash across Igeron's chest with all its power.

After that, the Hero Megazord skidded on the street floor and came to a quick stop with its back turn to the general, as Igeron while holding onto his chest with one arm and the other was struggling to reach out like he was asking for help, as blue electricity was generating around the his body from the severe damage.

"NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NOOOOOOOOOOO! This can't be happening to me! How could I lose to such pathetic creatures!" Igeron thought as he could feel his life reaching the end with his whole body now shutting down, but not until shooting the Hero Force Rangers one last death glare.

"Damn you, humans! This isn't over! You may have won this, but the Empire will descend upon you! Your days are numbered, Power Rangers! UUUUURRRGH!" He cried out in his final breath before falling over to the left side of the ground, as he was then engulfed in a massive fiery explosion that sent a powerful shockwave throughout the whole area making it shake.

The explosion, of course, knocked everyone off their feet, but once the shockwave and shaking had died down, everyone was shocked by what they saw. There was absolutely no trace of Igeron whatsoever with them all looked up, and their gazes fell on the Megazord standing at ease.

"Their power is unreal!" Midnight commented with a growing smile and sparkling eye.

"Dude... awesome." Present Mic thought, clearly impressed.

"Way to go, Power Rangers!" Nezu mentally cheered with a proud smile.

Everyone else was just practically speechless when they saw the Power Rangers defeat Igeron so easily with their Megazord.

(End Music)

Back in the Megazord, the Rangers broke into cheers of celebration over their victory.

"Now that was showy!" Sora said while crossing his arms over their handy work.

"We did it! We finally beat Igeron!" Cyrus cheered as he threw his hands into the air.

"All right!" Ayumi shouted in happiness.

"Boo-yah, bitches! Hero Force Rangers-1! Royal Empire-0!" Reina said in a mocking tone.

"Hell yeah, undefeated!" Kiba said whooped as well.

"Let's go check on everyone and head on home, yeah?" Sora gestured.

"Right!" They all said to their leader, as they all raised their fists in agreement.


In Space - Alsatia's Ship

The room fell in deep silence as Alsatia and Ernesh stared at the screen quietly, seeing what was left of Igreon as he was nothing more than a pile of ashes.

"Darn it! That smarmy centaur could have had them!" Scorzzle said before he grabbed his head in frustration. "I made the armor strong enough to outmatch those Rangers and he still failed!"

"Igeron was beyond help, consumed by his own hatred," Alsatia said with her back to the metal genius. "One should beware of letting it burn too fiercely." Even before she heard him talk about setting out on his own, Alsatia knew someone like Igeron would eventually meet his end in such a poetic way. A selfish person who connived their way to higher authority and power without thinking ahead was bound fail.

A low huff escaped Ernesh as he stepped forward with his arms cross. "A weak hearted fool like him stood no chance against those humans. But these 'Rangers' are becoming more problematic since they were able to take him down."

"Fear not. For them, it was but a simple victory." the space pirate said, unconcerned about the Rangers' progress as she watched them exit their Megazord. "Besides, they remain blissfully unaware of what's to come. Then, they will bear witness to the revelation of a power unlike anything their world could have imagined. "


Earth - USJ Entrance

Soon after, the Rangers left the Megazord's cockpit as they jumped down and landed on the ground, super hero style, in front of everyone. After a few seconds, they climbed back up to their feet.

The Hero Megazord suddenly began glowing in a bright light before fading into sparkles, returning back to the Zord Hangar.

"Power Down." All the Rangers said de-morph out of their outfits, now back their HF uniforms.

Looking back over at the whole group, the Rangers saw that everyone was still looking at them with disbelief expressions.

"So, how did you all enjoy the show?" Kiba joked as they walked up to the class, though no one formed a word, which caused an awkward silence for the five.

"Uhh, you guys go-"

"THAT. WAS. AWEESSSSSOMMMEEEE!!!"

The young Rangers were met with thunderous applause and compliments from their classmates.

"You guys were so amazing fighting against that monster!"

"I've never seen anything like that before!"

"I'll never forget this day as long as I live!"

"That was so manly what you guys did the other day!"

"How did you summon those giant robot animals!?"

"How did you even transform them into that even more Giant robot!?"

"How powerful are you guys!?"

The Rangers were slightly overwhelmed by the praise they were getting from their classmates. "Okay, this went a whole lot different than I thought it would." Sora muttered to his friends

"Yeah," Reina agreed, before stepping forward. "You guys are taking this surprisingly well."

"She's right. Sorta thought you'd be freaking out." Kiba agreed.

"Freaking out?" Kirishima questioned with a blink. "You guys basically fought a giant horse guy that grew to the same size as Mount Lady, if not taller!"

Mina smiles beamingly as she takes it from there. "Yeah, you guys were like pro heroes! You saved us!"

"Especially with those massive robots!" Sero added in, his triangle grin plastered on his face with excitement. "I've never seen anything like them."

"Ayumi! Reina!" Ochaco went over and grabbed both girls by the hands, shaking them slightly. "How come you didn't tell us about those giant animal robots!?"

Tsuyu stood nearby, her finger tapping her chin. "She's right. You two basically took the word 'Girl Power' to a whole new meaning. Ribbit."

"Uhhh, hehe..." Ayumi merely gave them an awkward laugh, still in the middle of processing the situation.

"What you guys did just now...was amazing!" Sato nodded in their direction. "Mad Respect."

"I'll never forget something like that for the rest of my life!" Hagakure exclaimed happily.

"Indeed." The team turned to see Momo standing behind the group with a small smile on her face. "What you five have done was nothing short of extraordinary." She said, looking in Cyrus' direction.

The bluenette sheepishly scratched his head. "Thanks, Momo."

As half of the class was crowding the Rangers, the rest of them stayed back as they were not the type to fuss over people. Especially two certain individuals.

Bakugo merely gave the Rangers a death glare, clenching his fist mad tightly. How in the hell were those Quirkless extras not only able to summon animal robots, but use them to fight and takedown an actual giant horse bastard!? He gritted his teeth as little wisps of smoke flew from his palms.

Todoroki, however, narrowed his eyes at the team as he too replayed the fight in his mind. They truly were formidable and an obstacle he HAD to overcome.

"Come on guys, it's not that bad. You should feel proud of what you've done today. These people are free now because of you." Katrina said making the Rangers feel pretty good about themselves.

"Those guys sure are punk rock." Jiro said lowly, as she wanted to talk with them, but unlike the other students that went crazy, she still respected them to the point where she respected their personal space.

Soon, Serena approached the group. "Sora!" She called out, moving up to him.

"Huh?" The brunette looked over to see his mom running up to him. "Oh. Hey, Mom..."

"I...What...you...how!?" The woman stuttered over her words at what she just witnessed. Since when did Sora gain access to such machines?

"Uh, well...it's kind of a long story," Sora told her, rubbing his head. "But I'll try my best to explain it to you at home."

Ayumi then looked around and noticed someone missing among the class. "Hey, where are Izuku and All Might?" she asked.

This caused the other Rangers to look around and "noticed the absence of the broccoli-haired boy and the Number 1 Hero. "Not that you mention it, I don't see them either." Cyrus noted.

"Izuku Midoriya, right?" Detective Tsukauchi asked before giving them a smile. "Recovery Girl is taking care of him too. From what I was told, his arms and shoulders were almost destroyed, but they're healing on their own at a slow rate. Recovery Girl's going to accelerate the process. He's fine."

The students breathed a sigh of relief. "Oh, thank goodness." Ochaco said.

Tsu then frog hopped to him. "Detective. What about Mr. Aizawa?"

Tsukauchi pulled out a phone and called the doctor that was taking care of Aizawa. After asking to tell the students his condition, the detective put the phone on speaker. "The bones in his arms are splintering and he's got facial fracturing." The doctor explained. "Fortunately, there doesn't seem to be any serious brain damage. But his orbital floor has been almost completely destroyed. We have no way of knowing if his eyesight will be impaired once he's healed up."

After the grim news was delivered, Tsukauchi said to the students. "Well, you heard the man."

"Um, sir?" Mina approached the man with Jiro and Momo beside her. All three with worried expressions. "What about Thirteen?"

"There's no need to worry there. Despite some pretty bad lacerations to the back, Thirteen is gonna pull through, good as new." This brought the girls comfort, as they sighed in relief. "And All Might is also without any serious injuries. He's in the nurse's office right now. Recovery Girl's power should be all the treatment he needs."

"Okay then!" Sora spoke, rubbing a hand through his hair. "I believe we're done here. We're gonna head back to school first." He declared, looking over at Nezu. "Is that cool with you, Principal?"

Nezu merely smiled with a paw raised. "By all means. You've more than earned it." He replied happily.

The Red Ranger nodded at this before looking at his team. "You guys ready to go?" He asked.

"Yeah!" Ayumi said as she was a bit overwhelmed by the applause and compliments.

"Sounds good." Cyrus nodded in agreement.

"Whatever gets me to my bed faster..." Reina snorted loudly.

"Let's ride!" Kiba chirped in.

With that being said, the Rangers used their Morphers to bring out their Valiant Cycles, surprising everyone, and climbed on them.

"What the...?"

"Since when did they have bikes!?"

"Suzuni and Fukukado on bikes...so hot~"

The team each pulled back the throttle a few times before they rode off into the distance, leaving the heroes, police and classmates behind with no one following them.

"Yeah, those kids were really something else." Present Mic pointed out.

"Indeed they were." Vlad King agreed. "Now what are we gonna do about the news crew?"

"Ahh, damnit!"

Unknown to anyone, a news crew secretly recorded the entire scene on their phones and cameras at a safe distance, as they watched this in awe and shock.


Afternoon - U.A. High: Recovery Girl's Office

Later on in the day, Izuku let out a groggy groan as he woke up. He opened his eyes and looked around. He was in the nurse's office, lying on a medical bed. All Might was sitting on the bed next to him with bandages around his bare chest, and Recovery Girl was looking at them. "Ah, good. You're awake." The old lady said before turning to All Might. "Well, I guess I won't scold the two of you for him being here since it wasn't your fault."

"I can't be sure yet, but I think I shortened my time limit again when that horse villain got my wound." All Might said. "I hope I can at least still hold this form for an hour."

"No way..." Izuku gaped in shock.

"Well, no use worrying." All Might said, leaning his head back. "How're you feeling, kid?"

"Eh. C-Could've been worse." Izuku replied, looking at his arms. They were both wrapped in bandages. He clenched his fist, but found it painful to do.

Just then, the door opened. "Excuse us." Sora said as he and the other Rangers all poked their heads in the doorway.

"Ahh, the Rangers." Recovery Girl smiled.

Izuku, now sat up in shock, "All Might! Your form!" He shouted in panic.

The No.1 hero held up a hand. "It's alright, they know." He said with a chuckle, much to Izuku's surprise. "They found out on the day after the Entrance Exam."

"EH!?"

"Yeeaaah, it was definitely a shock, that's for sure." Kiba said, rubbing his head.

"He also told us about how he chose a successor and, after seeing your Quirk in action, we kinda connected the dots and found out that you're his successor." Cyrus explained.

"O-Oh, I see." Izuku murmured.

"But we didn't tell anyone about it, so your secret's safe with us!"Hearing that put a small smile on Izuku's face.

"Hold on. Before all that." All Might quickly interrupted. "Tell me that everyone else is okay. And Aizawa-er, EraserHead, and Thirteen."

"No worries, big guy." Reina replied, leaning back against the wall. "Their injuries were scrapes. And both of the teachers are in stable condition right now. You can relax." All Might and Izuku sighed in relief. That was good to hear.

"If you don't mind me asking, what are you five doing here, anyway?" Izuku asked as his eyes passed over all of them.

"Firstly, we wanted to see how you were feeling." Ayumi asked, moving a bit closer to their beds.

"Yeah. We saw how you tried to take on that centaur dude, by yourself, just to protect us and All Might. That took guts, and I respect that, Seaweed." Reina nodded to Izuku.

"And second... we'll let Sora explain since it's his idea." Kiba added in, gesturing to his friend.

Izuku blinked twice at this. "Huh? Explain what?"

"Mainly about how we became Power Rangers." Sora explained, stepping forward. "After the first day of school, you asked us about our powers and we weren't able to tell you much, mainly because we wanted to lay low. Though, considering we know your secret, and what happened at the USJ, I figure now is the best time to tell you everything."

"Oh! Okay sure...!" The freckled-face teen's face brightened up, as All Might and Recovery Girl watched in silence.

"Before we go any farther, there is someone that wants to speak to you." Sora said to the boy.

Izuku just had a confused look on his face. Who wanted to speak to him?

"Who?" He asked the million-dollar question.

Sora just held up his Morpher and said. "Alright Katrina, come on out."

Then Katrina appeared in the room, surprising Izuku as he jumped back.

"It's nice to see you again." Recovery Girl said to the A.I.

Katrina nodded in return. "Likewise, Recovery Girl. And it's nice to see you again as well, All Might. I'm sorry about your injuries, by the way."

"No, it's fine. I'll live." The No.1 Pro waved her off.

Katrina hummed before facing Izuku. "Hello, Izuku Midoryia."

"Hi." Izuku nervously said looking at the hologram. "W-Who are you?"

"This is Katrina or to be more accurate, this is an A.I. program that's basically our mentor." Cyrus said to him. "She's the reason we are able to morph into Power Rangers."

"I...see" Izuku muttered as he processed this information. "So, what exactly is a Power Ranger?"

"I'd be happy to tell you. Now as I said to All Might and the other teachers, everything I'm about to say and show to you is the truth and please hold off on any questions you may have until I'm finished." Katrina said to him. "Also, promise to keep this to yourself, yea?"

Izuku nodded in agreement, while wishing he had his notebook to list down everything Katrina was going to show him.

Just like what she did to before, Katrina showed Izuku the history of the Power Rangers. And like the others, Izuku was shocked by what he was seeing.


Unknown Villain Base

A mist portal appeared in a bar-looking area. Shigaraki fell to the ground on his hands and knees. Anger and hatred were the only things he felt .

Their mission became a failure after killing All Might. But now, it was going to be even more difficult. Not only the security will be tight at U.A after the incident and their chance at getting the Symbol of Peace was a big time blow, now that the Power Rangers and Igeron all got in his way.

"We had it! We had a chance at getting All Might and we failed!" the Decay Quirk user yelled in an angry tone, slamming both his fist at a nearby table. "Those kids including that damn horseman! How dare he murder my Nomu!"

"Calm down, Tomura Shigaraki. Perhaps, we will get him another time and be ready for sure." Kurogiri said, reasoning with him.

"Next time? Next time? There won't be a next time! You have no right to talk after your failure!" Shigaraki yelled.

Suddenly, a noise was heard ringing. The two turn around to see a blank screen with the words "Incoming Call" blinking. Shigaraki was the first to go there, pressing a button to the right side. The ringing stopped when the screen changed the words saying "Sound Only". A voice was heard on screen, not showing his face.

"Shigaraki, Kurogiri. I figure you made it on time after the Police made their arrival to U.A. Did you kill All Might?" the voice asked.

"We didn't have a chance. The Symbol of Peace showed up minutes late. We encounter two of the heroes though. We injured both Thirteen and Eraserhead." Shigaraki explained. "We came this close at killing him when a bunch of kids - One with green hair who had the same powers as All Might and others dressed in colored costumes - showed up out of nowhere and saved him. Apparently, they called themselves 'Power Rangers'. "

"Power Rangers" the voice repeated before recalling something. "Ahh, yes. That group of five from a year ago who showed up and took on that horde of interesting creatures."

"After that, another unknown enemy appeared out of nowhere and manage to take down all our minions we've sent. Some kind of horse-man. He was so strong, he even manage to cripple All Might."

"Is that so?" the voice asked with interest in their tone. "If I'm not mistaken, then it must be the same creature that attacked the city. I believe 'Igeron' was his name."

"He should not get near All Might. He's ours, not his. I'll make sure he'll pay once we encounter him again!" Shigaraki said in anger.

"I agree with Shigaraki. This Igeron person, whoever he is, could likely be a threat to our agenda. Even worse, these 'Power Rangers' are also another threat as well. It could be very difficult getting to All Might. Don't forget the students we're also dealing with at U.A." another voice was heard on screen. "By the way, what about the creature that I created? Where is Nomu?"

"Yes. Why isn't he with you?" the same voice asked.

"He was murdered by that Igeron person Shigaraki mention." Kurogiri said.

"What? Murdered? Are you making up fairy tails?" the second voice asked in an angry tone.

"No. Shigaraki and I saw what that Igeron guy did. He even called us humans and said that he's doing bloodshed all for his 'Queen'. That gives me the assumption that he wasn't human. He even had a grudge against the Power Rangers, when he attacked both us and the heroes. We might be in more trouble than I thought."

"Great. Now we are dealing with competition. We gotta find this Igeron guy and take him out." the second voice said.

"I don't think that's not gonna help. This Igeron guy was much stronger than anyone there. He took down all of our followers and had his own army. It's not going to be easy, but these threats are in our way of our business." Kurogiri said.

"Well, there's something we can learn throughout our mission despite being a failure. A boy with the same powers as All Might. Another force led by this Igeron guy is on the same agenda as we are, though it's different. And, of course, the Power Rangers. Take all the time you need to gather more villains we need. I will remain hidden in the shadows which is why I need you as my face. A symbol of your own. Tomura Shigaraki, next time you will show the world they will be afraid of you." the voice explained.

Chapter Text

U.A High Roof - Night

Systems Firewalls Installation: Initiated...

Energy levels: 99% Capacity...

Initializing...

The time of day was night, and Solon was on the roof of U.A as she was working on a technologically advanced antenna, it had been several days since she arrived at the Hero Force's universe and already she felt like a member of the family.

"Alright, if my calculations are correct then this should do it!" Said Solon as she stopped typing and stepped back very slightly as she began to call Katrina. "Katrina, come in, do you read me?"


Back at the Command Center

Katrina turns around as she waves her right hand to open a holographic projection of the cyborg Solonosaurus. "Read you loud and clear Sol, have you installed the force field generator?"

"Indeed it is, if my calculations are correct, then the force field antenna will be connected to the school database and be ready for anything that the Royal Empire might throw at them. Your Rangers will be safe at school, so  you have nothing to worry about."

Katrina sighs heavily in relief before smiling and nodding at Solon and nods at her predecessor. "That's what I want to hear, and again thank you for aiding us, Solon."

"Of course, anything for a Ranger family, now what I need you to do is activate the force field generator from the command center. All you have to do is type in the same coding I just did minutes ago."

"Alright!" Said Katrina as she began to type another holographic projection. Thanks to being an artificial intelligence, she was able to type faster than what the cyborg Solonosaurus did. "Okay, the force field generator is online now!"

The antenna began to shoot a beacon, then the force field formed with the Rangers' colors, then became invisible as Solon and Katrina smiled at this.

"Project Force Field is complete!" The A.I announced proudly. "Power levels are stable and I'm detecting no sign of any malfunction or overheating. Other than that, everything looks good here."


U.A High School Roof

"That's good to hear." Solon sighed a breath of relief as she now contacted Principal Nezu over her communicator. "Principal Nezu, this is Solon. Can you hear me?"

Nezu's voice soon came through the device. "Loud and clear, Ms Solon. I take it that Project Force Field is a success?"

Katrina was the next to speak. "That's correct, Principal Nezu. The forcefield generator is now fully operational."

 "Meaning, that there's absolutely no way Alsatia or any of her forces will be able to teleport into your school and cause any trouble for your students." Solon finished.

 "Oh, what wonderful news!" Nezu cheered happily. "Fantastic job, to the both of you! Especially you, Solon, since you were the one who built and installed U.A.'s forcefield generator."

The  Solonosaurus twiddled her claws together at the praise. "Aw, shucks. I just did what any other person would've done."

"I see..." Nezu said as he seemed to contemplate over something. "That being said, I wish to make you an offer, Ms Solon."

"An offer?" Solon tilted her head in confusion. "What kind of offer?"

"Becoming a teacher for U.A!" Nezu replied with a cheerful tone of voice.

 Solon was taken back by the offer. "Oh, my. Me? A teacher? I-I don't know what to say. Even if I do accept the job, what would I even teach your students?" 

"What about Ranger History?" Katrina suggested, getting her attention. "Allow me to explain. Since Grid Battleforce already has a Ranger History class, perhaps you could help teach the team's class as a way to help the students become better heroes. Also, I'm sure you can imagine how many of U.A.'s students are tired of getting caught off guard by everything related to Alsatia and/or the Hero Force Rangers."

Nezu's smile broadened at this. "That sounds like a wonderful idea!" He said, clapping his hands together. "And I can tell that a lot of our students are more than excited to learn more about the same heroes that have been protecting our city since their debut. In addition, you'll be given your own classroom and will be free to customize it however you want. Since you are our guest, I'd like to make sure you're comfortable and ensure that everything is to your liking."

 Solon thought about this with a hum. This idea certainly had merit. "In that case... is it okay if I talk about it with my team, back in my universe, and let them know about your offer?" She asked him.

 "Of course!" Nezu nodded in understanding. "Take as long as you can to think about your decision."

"Thank you." Solon nodded gratefully before Nezu turned off the device he used to communicate with Katrina and Solon. 

"Do you really think I could be a great teacher?" She asked Katrina. 

 "I know you'll do great as a teacher." Katrina replied with a small smile on her face.

"Ahh, you." Solon waved off bashfully. "Well, then. I'll head back to the Command Chamber to inform Ameila and the others about Nezu's offer."

"Sure." Katrina nodded just before Solon pressed a button on her arm, wrapping away from the school.

Command Chamber

"Here's to us! The Hero Force Rangers, baby! Cheers!" Sora exclaimed in excitement.

"CHEERS!"

The Rangers were now standing in the center of the room, raising their smoothies in the air, clanking them together in joy.

"We did it, you guys! We actually did it!" Ayumi said, filled with excitement like none before.

"Damn right, we did!" Reina grinned widely, taking a sip of her drink.

Cyrus pushed up his glasses with a smile. "For a couple of Ranger newbies, I'd say we did pretty good taking down one of Alsatia's top generals!"

"You mean we did something totally BADASS! You don't mess with the Hero Force, baby!" Kiba said, pumping up his fist. "Undefeated!"

It was then Katrina made her appearance in front of the Rangers. {"Indeed, Kiba, all of you were as you say... beasts, and I could not be more proud of you all than I already am."} She told them in a sincere tone.

"That was one day I'll never forget." Ayumi spoke with a sweet smile.

"Yes, it was." Cyrus said with a tiny proud grin and crossed arms. "Although, there were some unforeseen encounters." He said with everyone agreeing.

Maddie, who watched from the controls, giggled before turning her head towards the viewing screen nearby, with her eyes slightly widened in surprise.

"Hey guys. You might wanna see this." She said pointing at the screen. "It's about you five."

"Up next: An update on the incident at the U.A. rescue training center yesterday, where Hero course students were attacked by a gang of villains." The news reporter said on TV. "According to new police officials, the criminal forces called themselves 'The League of Villains'. Investigators have reportedly uncovered that this group has been plotting to kill U.A. teacher and popular Hero, All Might since the spring of this year. Other reports claim that an identified third party consisting  of the same claw creatures from year ago were spotted on the scene as well, being led by their horseman leader."

There, they saw the title of the news and the footage of themselves battling Igeron and the Batzlers a year ago.

"Fortunately, the students were rescued and mostly unharmed, thanks to the Power Rangers, who arrived on the scene and stopped the villains and the monstrous third party. However, it seems that the horse villain from a year ago was able to grow into an humongous size, dwarfing even Mount Lady, and terrorized the City of Musutafu."

"And if that wasn't shocking enough, the Power Rangers were shown arriving on the scene with their giant animal machines. Thanks to them, the horse villain was defeated and the city was saved. But the League's leader escaped. His whereabouts are currently unknown."

Upon watching the news about the attack on the USJ, Sora rubbed his temple to prevent an upcoming headache from the broadcast about the attack and them fighting their enemies along with the Megazord battle.

"Well, looks like we're super famous now too." Kiba joked as he tried to lighten the mood.

The only good thing to come out of all of this was that no one died. Sure the city got totally trashed, there was a lot of property damage, but no one died from what the news report said, which was surprising for them since how bad Igeron's attack was on the city. But hey, none of them were complaining as they were happy that everything worked out in the end.

"Looks like you made the news again." Maddie noted with a smirk while looking on her phone. "Oh, and you're both on the social network. There are even discussion forums about the Rangers."

"What kind exactly...?" Reina was afraid of asking her.

"Some wondering what you five are calling yourselves. Others commenting on your suits and Zords. Wow, and some fanart too." Maddie answered, making them all sigh in unison.

"Well, not surprising since we did a Megazord battle here..." Auymi muttered, playing with a strand of her hair.

That was when they heard something on the screen that shocked them greatly.

"This just in, we have received footage of the 'Power Rangers' identities and they were revealed to be a group of teenagers who looked to be the age of 15-16 years old. Not only that, but they are also students of U.A." A newsman said as a video of the Rangers de-morphing was shown.

Kiba laughed nervously after a moment. "Umm... remember what I said about us being super famous?"

"I just hope we don't get a repeat of when the media asked us about All Might." Cyrus commented, fixing his glasses.

"This will definitely get us some unwanted attention." Ayumi added with a weak voice.

Reina groaned loudly while covering her eyes with her hand. "I can already imagine how irritating the media will be after this."

"Especially since they'll probably even hound U.A about this..." Sora added in, running a hand through his hair. "So, what's our next plan?"

Everyone else in the Command Chamber looked at him in confusion.

"What do you mean?" Reina asked him.

"I know the news said that no one died during Igeron's attack, but a lot of buildings- some of which were people's homes- were destroyed." Sora reminded them. "If we want to make sure that doesn't happen again to anyone else or have them actually die, I think it's time for us to let people know about these monsters."

"You mean...like go on national TV and tell the world?" Kiba blinked, with slightly wide eyes.

Ayumi placed a finger up to her chin in thought. "Hmm, it definitely has merit. The problem is that I'm not sure if the other Pros and this public will take too kindly of us doing this, you know?"

"Well, since we are on Principal Nezu's good side, I could tell him about this and ask him for permission to do so." Katrina pointed out.

"Even if that's the case, how would you even go about it?" Maddie questioned, folding her arms under her chest. "It's not like you guys have a phone number or app that you can just pass out."

Reina perked up at this. "Actually, we kinda do." She spoke, getting the woman's attention.

"What?"

 "Einstein here created an app that could automatically notify us of any alien attacks or monsters that Alsatia tries to send into the city." Kiba joked, wrapping his arm around Cyrus' neck.

"By yourself?" Maddie questioned, looking at the Blue Ranger in surprise.

"For the most part." Cyrus answered as he rubbed his head. "It took me a while to complete though. I call it the 'Ranger Danger' App."

"I see." Maddie hummed with interest before she got an idea. "In that case...why not send out a message about your app from the Juice Bar? It could even be sponsored by yours truly."

This suggestion surprised everyone as they allow looked at the owner. "Really?" Ayumi asked, making sure she heard right.

Maddie shrugged. "I don't see why not and personally, you guys are my favorite customers here. So, it's the least I can do to help." She told them.

"Thank you for the support, Maddie. I really appreciate this." Katrina told her with a small smile before it turned into a teasing smirk. "Although, why do I feel like the reason you want to sponsor the Ranger Danger App is also because it'll bring in a lot of customers to the Youth Center?"

"Hey, I never said I wouldn't get anything out of it." Maddie said in a joking tone. "Besides, think of it like this: You guys can get your app promoted and I can expand my business. It's a win-win."

"Well, can't argue with that." Sora agreed after a moment. "Plus, if we talk to Principal Nezu about it, U.A could as help as well."

"I like it." Reina shrugged loosely.

"Me too." Cyrus nodded with a smile. "It's simple and straightforward."

"Well, then." Katrina began, clapping her hands together to get the Rangers' attention. "Before we send out a message about the app... there was another reason why I called you all to be here. That reason being I wanted to introduce you all to someone."

"Really?" Sora asked, curiously. "Who?"

The opening of a door got everyone's attention as they all turned and heard a new voice.

"Aye aye aye! So, these are the Rangers I've been hearing about?"

Hearing the new and odd voice, the Rangers watched as a young robot that is only about four feet high, and has a gold-and-gold casing over a black body. Its head is flying saucer-shaped, and its eyes" were a red bar that flashes across its front. It had a gold lightning bolt on his chest that flashes. On its arms are two black "elbow caps" that limit the movement of his arms. He also has big and clunky feet. On the robot's back is a golden -shaped CD compartment that was used to put a disc into him on two occasions.

"Rangers, meet Alpha 55. Alpha 55, meet the Hero Force Power Rangers," Katrina introduced to each other.

"Oh!" The android, now Alpha 55, walked over to the team and waved at them cheerfully. "Hello, Rangers! It's an honor to meet you all."

The team stood there, shocked as they couldn't believe their eyes. Cyrus's glasses fell down to the bridge of his nose, and became slightly cracked. Reina and Ayumi looked at each other and blinked as they looked at the robot. Kiba rubbed his eyes and shook his head while Sora blinked various times...

"N-No way...!"

"Holy crap!"

"I..Is that...?"

"ALPHA!?" They all exclaimed, startling the young robot back.

"Um, yes?"

"I can't believe it! It's Alpha!" Ayumi squealed as she went up to the android and looked him over.

Kiba went over with her. "Yeah, he looks like the same ones who assisted the Rangers from before, only this one is a different color!"

"You could say that again." Cyrus agreed, going over to check out Alpha's arm. "The design and technology of this Alpha looks phenomenally amazing!"

"And if I'm being completely honest, black and gold looks good on him." Reina complimented, placing a hand on her hip.

"Oh. Thank you." Alpha said, bashfully rubbing his head. "I have been using a special kind of polish."

"Wait." Sora spoke up, looking at Katrina. "How did you get Alpha into this universe?"

Katrina shrugged at this. "Simple, really. I created this model myself. He wasn't finished coming back online and I wanted to make sure everything would go off without a hitch."

"So, does this mean this Alpha is going to help us like the past Alphas?" Cyrus questioned, looking back at the A.I.

Katrina merely nodded at this. "That's correct."

"Well, in that case...Welcome to the team, Alpha," Sora spoke, holding his hand out to the robot.

"Thank you." Alpha responded back, shaking Sora's hand. "And I promise I'll do my best."

Katrina then cleared her throat, getting everyone's attention. "Now then. Alpha, do the thing." She told the young robot.

"Of course, Katrina! Leave it to me!" Alpha nodded, moving over to a panel and began pressing several buttons.

"What's he doing?" Ayumi questioned with a blink,

"You'll see." The A.I. responded back. "For now, I would like for each of you to stand in the center and raise your Morphers into the air."

The Rangers all looked at one another in confusion, before shrugging and moving into the center of the chamber.

"Okay, ready?" Sora asked the others.

"Yeah." They nodded in unison, before each of them placed out their morpher-clad arms in a group circle as the faces of said devices began to glow.

"Alrighty, here we go!" Alpha chirped out loud, pressing a red button, causing bright colored lights from the ceiling onto the Morphers.

At the same time, the teams' minds were filled with all the previous Ranger's fights across 24 generations. All of their combat experiences and powers were now second nature to them. 

Soon, the light died down as the Rangers brought down their arms in surprise and confusion, as they could feel the powers of every Ranger's abilities (of their respective color), coursing through their entire bodies.

"Wha...What the heck just happened?" Kiba blinked twice as he and the others brought down their arms.

"After what happened at the USJ, it's clear to me that it's time for you five to wield extraordinary new powers. The reason why I had you all raise your Morphers into the air was so Alpha could upgrade them with a new function called, 'Legendary Ranger Mode'." Katrina explained.

Hearing that caused the Rangers' eyes to slowly widen in shock and amazement. "Legendary Ranger Mode? You mean, like the Megaforce Rangers?" Cyrus uttered out.

The A.I nodded. "Indeed. With this new function, you'll be able to tap into the special powers of all the Rangers that preceded you."

The Hero Rangers all looked down at their Morphers, processing what they were just told.

"I know this all sounds really amazing, but I should warn you that using Legendary Ranger Mode will challenge your strength, every time you morph into a Legendary Power Ranger." Katrina added as she held up a finger.

Reina let out a low laugh at that. "Nothing we ever do is easy."

"No kidding." Sora agreed, clenching his fist tightly. "But we'll take the challenge anyway."

Ayumi turned her attention back to Katrina. "So, can we really morph into a Legendary Ranger?" She asked, wanting to confirm the information.

"That's right, Ayumi. And with every Ranger power you master, you'll gain access to their Zords that will help you in your fight against evil." Katrina told the orangette.

The pink Ranger gaped in awe. "That is so awesome!"

"Yeah. Alsatia's in for a big surprise." Reina smirked, punching her fist into her palm.

Kiba scrunched up his face in thought. "Umm... yeah, hi. I've got a question." He spoke, raising a hand as if he were in class.

Everyone in the room turned their heads towards the blonde, wondering what he had to say.

"So, how exactly do we morph into a Legendary Ranger?" He asked, pointing down at his Morpher in confusion. "I mean, the Mega Rangers had to use special keys to do so, right?"

"Simple." Katrina replied. "Just press down on the activation button that's located on the wristband, turn the dial on the faceplate to choose which Legendary Ranger you want to morph into to summon a Legendary Ranger Key, and then insert the key into a slot that's added into the other side of the Morpher."

Reina blinked owlishly before looking at her Morpher again. "That's it?" She inquired.

"Yep. That's it." Katrina nodded before she realized something. "Oh. Before I forget, Reina, you should know that while you are now able to morph into some of the past Black Rangers, you'll also be able to morph into some of the past Green Rangers."

Reina looked surprise at this. "Really?"

"Oh, just like the Megaforce Black Ranger, Jake Holling!" Cyrus chirped in.

The A.I nodded. "Exactly. Because Green and Black had a tendency to alternate between early Power Rangers teams, she'll be able to morph between both colors whenever she likes."

The Black Ranger looked down at her morpher in awe. "Sweet damn."

"By the way..." Kiba began as he looked around. "Where's Solon?"

It was at that moment a dimensional portal appeared in the center of the room as Solon emerged from it.

"Oh, nevermind."

"How did it go?" Katrina asked the Solonosaurus.

"Surprisingly well." Solon replied with a smile.  "The others were okay with it and promised to call me if something happened."

The Rangers looked at the two in confusion.  "Uhh, what are you guys talking about?" Sora asked them.

"Oh!" Solon perked up and she faced the Rangers.  "Well, I've decided to take on Nezu's offer to be a teacher at U.A."

The Rangers blinked twice as their minds processed this information, before their eyes widened in realization  

"WAIT WHAT!?"

To Be Continued...

Earth - U.A. High School

Days later, classes were back to normal, and everyone was back to school. However, the big talk around the building was still the USJ incident. As evident as the students of Class 1-A were sitting on their desks, Hagakure said, "You guys! Did you watch the news yesterday?"

"Yeah, I'm surprised they mentioned us. I mean, I guess because we're All Might's students, after all." Ojiro said as he was standing next to her.

"It was so cool that we got a few seconds of screen time!" The invisible girl said. "Though I bet nobody noticed me hanging out in the background."

"Probably not." Shoji bluntly replied with his arms crossed.

To comfort his invisible friend, Ojiro told Hagakure. "It is difficult to stand out when you're just wearing gloves."

As Jiro twirled her earphone jack, Kaminari leaned back in his chair with his hands on the back of his head. "We're totally big deals," he said to Kirishima. "Those news channels love us—we're basically celebrities."

"Yeah, it's kinda crazy, right?" asked Kirishima.

However, Jiro wasn't too impressed. "Get over yourselves. The Hero Course that pumps out heroes was attacked, and that's what they care about."

Sero leaned on his desk with his arms crossed. "Who knows what would've happened to us if Ukashi's crew and the teachers weren't there?"

That just made Mineta panic and freaked out. "WHY'D YOU SAY THAT!?" He screamed with sweat and tears, yelling between Momo and Todoroki. "I'm gonna pee myself just thinking about it!"

"Oh, shut up!" Bakugo yelled at Mineta after getting very annoyed at the small boy. It scared the pervert and only startled Izuku. "Grow a pair, loser!"

"Speaking of which, did you guys see Ukashi and the others on the news last night?" Sato asked the class. "It's all everyone is talking about all morning!"

"I know, right! Apparently, everyone's aware of what they look like know." Ojiro added in. "I guess the media was close to the USJ."

"Yeah! I saw that, too!" Ochaco perked up, standing to her feet. "Those giant robots they summoned to take down that villain! It was the coolest thing I've ever seen!" The brown-haired hair girl jumped into the air, grinning as she pumped her arm. 

"Right!?" Mina exclaimed happily. "They were so awesome! Especially in the Entrance Exams!"

"Their strength is truly a thing of wonder." Tokoyami said with his arms crossed.

Izuku listened to all of this as he wrote in his notebook everything he saw about the Power Rangers, their costumes, weapons, Zords, etc. It was exciting for him to learn about new heroes and their history. He was surprised that there were heroes like that and the things they fought.

It shocked him to learn that the Power Rangers were heroes from a different universe that fought against all types of evil. But he was even more surprised that all the Power Rangers were quirkless before becoming Rangers. After seeing what Sora and his friends did, he made him question every single thing he knew about quirkless people being heroes.

It made Izuku wonder if the Hero Society may have been wrong about people with no powers not being able to be heroes.

"I think we should mostly speak about how the rest of society will feel about this. I mean, not only does everyone who they are, but also that they're enrolled in U.A, too." Tsuyu spoke up, tapping her chin with her finger.

Kaminari shuddered in remembrance. "You're telling me. Hopefully, the media doesn't show up again like last time."

Just then, the door opened, snapping everyone's attention towards the entrance of their classroom. "Well, you won't have to worry about that." Sora said as he and the Rangers all walked into the classroom.

"Oh, hey guys!" Kirishima greeted with a grin on his face. "We were just talking about you!"

Reina snorted at that. "Yeah, that was pretty much established, Red." She gave him a teasing smirk.

"Hello, everyone!" Ayumi smiled as she spoke to the class.

"Yo, Izuku!" Kiba waved with a grin. "Glad to see you're okay, man!"

"U-Uh, yeah." Izuku replied back.

Mina smiles beamingly as she takes it from there. "Yeah, you guys were like pro heroes!"

"I'll never forget something like that for the rest of my life!" Hagakure exclaimed happily.

"Indeed." The team turned to see Momo standing behind the group with a small smile on her face. "What you five have done was nothing short of extraordinary." She said, looking in Cyrus' direction.

The bluenette sheepishly scratched his head. "Thanks, Momo."

"Hey, what did you mean when you said that we don't have to worry about the media showing up here again?" Jiro asked them. 

 Ayumi was the first to reply. "Well, thanks to our mentor, no villain will be able to trespass on campus again."

"Your mentor...?" Sero questioned in realization. "You mean, that woman from before that made you Power Rangers?"

"The same woman who also notified Principal Nezu about the villains that attacked the USJ?" Todoroki recalled.

"The very same." Kiba nodded. "Heck, he was the one who gave us permission to face those guys."

That took the class by surprise as Shoji asked. "Wait, you said you were given permission by the principal?"

Ayumi was the one to reply. "Yea, we did a month after the exam. This way, we don't get in trouble with the police or other heroes."

"Under the condition that we let him or the teachers know about it." Cyrus added in.

SLAM!

Everyone looked over when Bakugo suddenly hit his hand on the desk, making a loud sound, looking at the Rangers with an enraged expression.

"Huh!? What the hell makes you bastards so damn special that you would get permission!?" He snarled in anger. "You think you're better than me!?"

"Because it's our responsibility to stop those freaks, something that you don't understand." Reina retorted.

"What was that!?"

"What do you mean it's your responsibility?" Hagakure questioned, ignoring Bakugo's rant. "Do you guys know what those things are?"

As soon as the clock struck eight, Tenya suddenly ran to the front of the classroom towards the teacher's desk. "Attention! Homeroom class is about to begin! Stop talking and take your seats!" He exclaimed loudly, waving his arms up and down quickly to grab his classmates' attention.

However, there was something wrong with that command.

"Uh, we're all sitting." Kirishima said bluntly.

"Yeah, you're the only one standing." Sero added with a deadpan tone.

"Hey, wait. Isn't Cyrus the Class Rep? So, shouldn't he be the one giving out orders?" Ayumi asked, remembering something important

Tenya quickly sat down with his fist clenched, trembling with embarrassment. "Dang it!" He grunted.

"Don't sweat it." Cyrus said with an awkward laugh.

Kiba couldn't help but laugh as he said to Tenya, "Man, you looked ridiculous!"

Mina then looked back at Tsuyu and leaned backward. "Hey, Tsu. So..." She started before leaning too far and nearly fell over. However, Tsuyu stopped her chair, and Mina giggled a little because of it. "Who do ya think is gonna teach class today?"

Tsuyu put a finger on her chin. "No idea. Mr. Aizawa's still in the hospital recovering from his injuries. So someone should replace him for the time being." She said right before the door slid open.

"Morning, class." To everyone's surprise, it was the very injured Aizawa that was at the door. Face, broken arms, and every other injured area wrapped completely in bandages.

"Mr. Aizawa, what are you doing here?!" Everyone yelled at the man in shock.

"Wow!" Cyrus exclaimed as he looked over the teacher. "To even come here with those injuries!"

"What a Pro!" Kaminari said with admiration.

Tenya quickly shot his arm up into the arm. "Mr. Aizawa. I'm glad you're okay!" He exclaimed as Aizawa wobbled over to his desk.

"You call that 'okay'?!" Ochaco asked in disbelief.

"His body is literally covered in bandages!" Ayumi added in with shock.

"My well-being is irrelevant." The teacher said as he stood in front of the class. "Because things will start to pick up this week with your hero work. But before that, I need to make an important announcement first, so listen up." He said, getting their attention. "We have a new arrival today, and she'll be your new teacher starting today."

"What?!" The class as a whole was shocked, except for the ones who knew it was. "A new teacher!?"

"Are you serious?" Kirishima added, partially gaping.

"As a heart attack." Aizawa said while exhaling deeply.

"I wonder who it is..." Momo mumbled to herself.

"I bet it's another pro!" Sato chimed in.

"I hope they're nice!"

"I wonder if it's a smokin hot babe~." Mineta smiled perversly as he began to drool.

"WHAT!" Bakugo called out. "Why are we getting another teacher all of a sudden?! The semester has already started!"

"Silence," Aizawa said, silencing the class. "Just meet your new teacher." His gaze moved to the classroom door to the person who had been waiting outside this entire time. "Okay, you can come on in now." He said loud enough for the person outside to hear him.

Then the door to the room opens up, showing Solon walking in with her mid bashful expression, and everyone who didn't know about the dinosaur gave her looks of interest, confusion, and surprise. 

"Okay, the floor's all yours," Aizawa said to the Solonosaurus before stepping aside.

"Thank you." Solon nodded as her gaze fell onto the humans in the room, ready for her introduction about herself. "Hello, everyone. My name is Solon. Like Mr. Aizawa said, "I'll be your new teacher at U.A. High, starting today. It's a pleasure to meet you all."

Everyone, except the Rangers, looked at her with vary expressions as they wondered who this new person was.

"That is so not a woman!" Mineta complained in disappointment.

"Seriously? An old lizard...?" Bakugo scoffed at the newest extra joining the class. "They'll just let about anyone join the Hero Course." He didn't think she looked that strong and probably had a weak ass quirk.

Whether it was from the bored tone or offense at the comment, or both, Solon turned to look at Bakugo and said, "Firstly, I'm a dinosaur, not a lizard. And secondly, old!? Ouch." She corrected indignantly with an offended expression.

Ochaco blinked as her brain registered what she heard. "I'm sorry, but did you say that you're a dinosaur?" 

"Oh yes. A Solonosaurus, to be more accurate. Plus, there are a few necessary upgrades, as you can see." Solon replied as she gestured to her robotic parts.

 "A what?" Ochaco asked with a head tilt.

 "She's half cyborg and half dinosaur." Kiba said, shocking the whole class, except for the ones who knew about the cybernetic dinosaur."

"WAIT, WHAT!?" Most of the class exclaimed in shock at learning their new teacher truly was.

"No way! An actual dinosaur?!" Momo asked as she was greatly shocked by this.

"But that's impossible!" Ojiro had the same reaction as well.

"Yeah! Dinosaurs have been extinct for a long time." Sero said with curiosity in his voice

"It's the truth." Aizawa confirmed as the class looked at him. "Principal Nezu Nezu hired her as a teacher to help prepare you all in case the claw creatures or any of the other monsters try to attack again." He explained, recalling  meeting the dinosaur a day or two prior. To say he was shocked would be an understatement.

"Yeah, but how does Ukashi and the others know her?" Kirishima asked him with everyone looking at the Rangers for an answer.

"Because he and the other Rangers are the reason she's in this school," Aizawa said, getting a confused look from most of his students.

"What do you mean by that, sir?" Tsuyu asked him.

Sora only sighed as he spoke up to the class. "Because Solon herself was the mentor of a previous Ranger team that came before us, and after we explained the situation to her, she agreed to help us."

"But aren't you guys the Power Rangers?" Toru asked in confusion.

"We are, but there have been other Power Rangers before us," Cyrus said to them.

"Wait, are you saying there are more Power Rangers out there besides you guys?" Momo asked in surprise.

"Yea, in fact, our team is actually the current generation of Power Rangers." Reina said to the rich girl.

"And when our time is up, a new team of Rangers will take our place to carry on the legacy." Sora said to them.

Everyone was incredibly amazed by what they heard. They are a part of a team of past heroes. But before anyone could say anything else, someone else spoke.

"Wait, Mr. Aizawa mentioned something about the claw creatures and 'other monsters', but those things that attacked the USJ were just regular villains, right? I mean, there's no way they're actually monsters." He chuckled nervously, hoping what Aizawa said wasn't true.

Bakugo scoffed loudly at this. "Yeah, right! What? You're going to say that they're aliens or some crap!?" He remarked as he looked bored.

"I hate to tell you this, but they really are monsters." Ayumi hesitantly stated.

 "Yeah, and they're taking orders from a group of world-conquering aliens. Like that horse man from the USJ." Reina added with seriousness in her voice.

The students couldn't believe what they're hearing; the claw creatures, the horse man, the bulldozer villain, and the robot werewolf from the news aren't the usual villains that they're used to, but instead are real-life monsters. Izuku looked down as he recalled the horse villain and how strong he was.  Some tried to deny it to be true, but the some of students that were attacked by the claw creatures and their horse man leader (those being Momo and Todoroki), remembered how the horse man, Igeron, kept calling the Rangers and everyone else 'human'.

"Which is why today's training it going to have you focused on Rescue AND protect." Aizawa informed them as a whole. "So, be ready within an hour. Class is dismissed."


USJ - Afternoon

All the students did what they were told as they all had on their Hero Costumes, minus Izuku, since he had put on his PE clothes with his arm pads and white gloves. Like before, all the students gathered around the front, as they went inside USJ.

"Feels weird being back here, huh?" Sora questioned his friends, prompting them to nod in agreement.

"I know what you mean." Reina stood beside Sora, with Ayumi beside her. "We came here for training... but ended up facing our greatest challenge yet. Talk about a turn of events."

Kiba laughed. "Yeah. I mean, even the skylight Igeron made is still there." He joked, gesturing to the giant hole in the ceiling.

"Glad you find humor in that..." Cyrus sweatdropped with a blank expression.

"That aside, I'm actually excited for this type of training!" Ayumi chirped in as she surveyed the entire USJ area. "You know, without the Batzlers running around."

Izuku adjusted his gloves before glancing over at the Ranger's direction. The team was off in their own space, strayed away from everyone else. There were so many thoughts going through his mind about them, especially the giant mech fight that occurred the other day. Now, here they were, now beginning training with him and the rest of the class.

Honestly, Izuku was very much eager to see the Rangers in action and how they worked together as a team. Maybe he could even get a chance to write more information down in his notebook!

But they were all shocked to see Thirteen there too, back to her usual self, though that didn't stop the students from giving her a worried look.

"Well, despite all that's happened, class is still class!" Thirteen said, "So without delay, let's begin today's training!"

"Can you move alright, Thirteen?" Ayumi asked as she looked worried.

Sora had added, "Yeah, I heard what you've been through was worse than any of the others here."

"My back hurts a bit, but it was nothing compared to Mr. Aizawa's." Thirteen replied as she motioned over to Aizawa, who stood next to her, mummified from head to toe.

Said Pro let out a sigh, "We're wasting time, so let's start today's class already."

Aizawa went ahead, and as he was about to descend down the stairs, Izuku stepped forward and asked. "Um, Mr. Aizawa?" Izuku said, getting his attention, "I thought All Might was supposed to meet us here as well. Where is he?"

"Not sure." Aizawa replied, "Just forget about him for now."

The Rangers all looked at one another curiously, wondering the same thing. 'What was that all about?'

"Hey!" Ochaco rushed, walked over to them, a bright smile already on her face as she stopped in front of the team. "How are you guys feeling? Getting excited for class?"

Cyrus rubbed his head, "Well, you could say that."

"We're mainly just taking in the whole thing, considering none of us didn't really get the chance last time." Ayumi finished up.

Kiba nodded. "Yeah, too busy kicking ass and looking good doing it."

Reina rolled her eyes at the blonde. "Yeah, that."

Mina suddenly appeared in front of the Ranger with an eager smile."Speaking of training, does that mean you guys are going to use them today?" She asked, getting the group's attention.

"Use what?" Sora asked her.

"Your Ranger suits!!" The Acid-user leaned closer, obviously excited to see them again. Hearing that, some of the curious students begin leering in, also curious and excited by the Rangers' suits, even Tenya and Izuku. "Will you be using them in today's training?"

"Well..." Sora shared amused looks with his friends before smiling charmingly. "You'll have to wait and see."

To Be Continued...

Notes:

What do you think of the first Ova chapter? Let me know your thoughts and opinions on it so far. See ya!!!

So, for those who have seen the MHA Ova, should the Rangers be morphed for this or not? If morphed, I was thinking of using Lightspeed Rescue. What do you guys think?

I was going to add a PR villain for this, but I was reminded that All Might played the villain role in the ova, so I might just stick with that for now.

Earth - USJ

"Anyway, let's begin today's training, shall we!" Thirteen said as she started to follow Aizawa, along with the students following.

They eventually had gotten to the mountain zone of the USJ as the students gathered around, over what looked to be an open gap between the two mountains. "Alrighty!" Thirteen said, "For this class, we're going to be starting with the rescue training!"

Thirteen soon took the lead as she explained to the class, "Four students will be at the bottom of this chasm. One will be unconscious, two will have a broken leg while the last one will be worried."

"HOLY HELL, WHAT A HEIGHT!" Kirishima exclaimed, looking into the chasm.

Sora looked down into the chasm and whistled. "This is like that one scene in Tomb Raider." He added.

Reina stood near him and kicked a small pebble off the cliff and watched as it fell into the darkness below. "Mm, doesn't seem too deep."

"How are we supposed to get down there!?" Kaminari shouted, "It looks impossible!"

"What are you saying!?" Iida shouted as he ran near the edge, "This is all part of the exercise, and we should treat it as such!" He soon got on his knees as he yelled, "ARE YOU OKAY DOWN THERE!? DO NOT WORRY, WE'LL SAVE YOU!"

"Dude, this is just an exercise." Kirishima said.

Ayumi raised her hand to her mouth and giggled into it. "He's really into it!"

"Yea, but it could be fun!" Kiba commented as he looked down at the chasm.

"Though, he does have a point." Cyrus folded his arms over his chest as he said, "We should treat it like it's a real thing."

"I guess." Reina said, cocking her hip to the side before muttering. "Still, compared to what Katrina already put us through, this might be a cakewalk."

"Yeah! Let's go and save them!" Ochaco said excitedly before she ran over to Izuku, getting a bit too close for comfort, "Let's do our best Deku!"

Ayumi laughed a little at Izuku's face, "They both look so cute together." She thought to herself.

'She's too close!' The greenette thought as he quickly averted his eyes with a blush. He then looked down at his hand, balling them into fists. 'This is my chance. All Might gave me the power to save people. I'll do my best today!'

"And the injured will be..." Thirteen said, before she pointed to certain people , "The four of you!"

She pointed over to Izuku, Tenya, Ochaco, and shockingly....Kiba. Needless to say they were all surprised as they nearly fainted on the spot. 'WE'RE THE ONES GETTING SAVED!?" The former three of them shouted in their thoughts.

"Wait what!?" Kiba exclaimed, pointing to himself. "Why am I getting rescued? Shouldn't I be the rescuer!?"

"Don't worry." Sora snickered, patting the blond on the shoulder. "We'll try to sweep you off your feet in the process."

"THAT'S NOT FUNNY!"


The very next moment, the small group found themselves in the bottom of the chasm, waiting for whoever was picked to come and help them. With confidence Iida turned over to the group, and said, "Everyone we must do our best to be injured!"

"Yes!" Ochaco cheered.

"Guys, we're just pretending!" Izuku reminded them.

Kiba pouted as he said, "Well, so much for that opportunity..."

Up on top of the chasm, Thirteen had decided on who would be the ones to save them. "Okay, the people that will be helping them is the five of you, so I expect you all to get along in this exercise!" Thirteen said with a smile. The rescue group consisted of Cyrus, Todoroki, Tokoyami, Momo, and even Bakugo; He wasn't at all happy as his body shook with anger.

"Well, it appears we're going to be working together." Momo smiled at the bluenette.

"Yeah, looking forward to working with you, partner." Cyrus responded back.

"You'll be using these objects to help them." Aizawa said motioning over to a stretcher and some rope that had been near where they stood.

"WAIT A GODDAMN MINUTE!" Bakugo shouted, making some of the class jump. "WHY DO I HAVE TO SAVE DEKU!?"

"It's because it's a Special Issue, Bakugo." Tsuyu replied calmly, breaking the fourth wall.

"THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN!?" Bakugo shouted.

"Asui, just leave him like that." Kaminari slid behind the frog girl, smiling uneasily.

Todoroki soon stepped forward, looking down the chasm as he heard Iida screaming for someone to help them. "Let's begin." Todoroki said to the group, as the ash-blond sneered at him. "Who's going to go down there?"

"Well, I actually have a pla--" Cyrus said before getting cut off by Bakugo.

"This half and half bastard doesn't listen!" He said, ignoring Cyrus completely, "I'll just have to teach him!" His hands started to spark as he had a smile on his face.

"What's with that look?" Sora muttered, sweat-dropping at the boy.

"So you have a plan of what to do then?" Reina asked.

"Oh I do..." Bakugo replied before he yelled, "... WE JUST BLOW UP THE SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN AND THAT'S IT!"

"THAT'S YOUR PLAN!?" Cyrus and Momo gaped at him in disbelief.

"ARE YOU CRAZY!?" Ayumi exclaimed.

"Oh my God." Sora rubbed his face with a loud groan.

"Yeah, how about no! We're trying to save them, not cause a rockslide!" Reina shouted at him.

Todoroki ignored what Bakugo had suggested, as he was even more pissed off at this. He soon turned to Cyrus, "Hado, right?" Said boy nodded as he continued. "You said you have a plan? What is it?"

"Oh..." Cyrus blinks in surprise as all attention was on him. "Okay. So, I recall you all mentioning your Quirks on the first day and I wondered if Momo could create a pulley to get Tokoyami down. I could use my Ranger powers to jump down and assist him with the injured, while Momo, Todoroki and Bakugo pull them up." He explained, pushing up his glasses.

Silence ensues, until Momo was the first to speak up with a warm smile on her face, "That's a very nice plan you have."

Cyrus' face brightens up at this. "Really?"

Sora, Ayumi, and Reina all smiled. "That's why he's one of the smartest guys I know." The Red Ranger remarked.

"Mhm." The girls hummed in agreement.

"BASTARD!" Bakugo yelled before he stomped up to Cyrus, reaching for his collar. "Stop deciding shit on your own!"

Seeing this, Momo moved to intercept him. "Bakugo, st-!"

However, before anyone could react, Cyrus stepped out of the way and grabbed Bakugo's extended right forearm with his own, using Bakugo's momentum to throw him over his shoulder and slamming him solidly into the ground.

Everyone gasped and gawked, as Bakugo was effortlessly thrown to the ground with a cry. The entire class was quiet for a moment, until Reina and Kaminari burst out in laughter while Ayumi was trying VERY hard to hold back her laughter.

Sora even looked proud as he folded his arms. "Nice form, Cy! Looks like those training sessions paid off."

"Oh, man! Good job, Cy!" Reina slapped her knees as her entire body dissolved into laughter.

"C-Cyrus..." Momo gaped in awe at the boy's actions.

"Holy crap!" Sero exclaimed in awe. "He knocked Bakugo on his ass!"

"That was pretty manly...!" Kirishima agreed as well.

Cyrus blinked in realization as his mind caught on to his body. "Oh man! I-I didn't mean to do that! It was pure reflex!"

"W-What the hell...?" Bakugo slowly sat up, glaring at the bluenette with his fists clenched and began to shake in fury. "YOU'RE GOING TO PAY FOR THAT, YOU DAMN EXTRA!" Without warning, Bakugo immediately charged towards the blue Ranger, as an explosion formed above his head.

Cyrus prepared himself as the ash-blond got dangerously close before he was suddenly wrapped in bandages. "What the!? AGAIN!?" He glowered over his shoulder to see it was Aizawa who binded him...again.

"Calm down, Bakugo. You're behaving like a brat here." Aizawa sighed. "You're making me use my Quirk too much."

"That's right!" Momo said, looking at Bakugo sternly. "Shame on you! Besides, there is something we need to do before anything else!"

Momo ran to the edge of the chasm as she knelt down, before yelling calmly to the ones that were pretending to be injured, "Please keep calm! We'll get you out right away!"

"THANK YOU VERY MUCH!" They heard Iida yell over dramatically. "PLEASE HURRY!"

Hearing this, the 'unconscious' Ochaco held her hands up to her mouth to keep back her laughter.

"You're finally here! We're saved!" Izuku said.

"Where art thou Hero!?" Kiba exclaimed in a dramatic way.

Momo turned back to her group, "The first thing we have to do is reassure the victims. There are occasions where you cannot save people when they are panicking. Reassuring them is a way of saving them. If you all will not do it properly, then what kind of a class is this?!"

Tokoyami nods at her words, while Cyrus looks on in awe. Bakugo merely clicked his tongue in disdain as Todoroki thought about what Momo was saying.

"She's pretty impressive." Kirishima said, amazed.

"Yeah..." Mineta said as he knelt down, having a great view of Momo; He started to drool again, "Very impressive!"

"You're garbage!" Most of the boys yelled.

"Okay then..." Cyrus stepped forward, garnering Momo's attention. "I'll make the first move." He raised his Morpher up to his face and spun the dial, right before a gumball-sized hologram of the Wind Storm logo, that consisted of a red shuriken inside a black circle, floated on the dial's face.

"Legendary Ranger Mode, Ninja Storm!" Cyrus called out before he slams his hand down on the dial. Soon, a key appeared in his hand as it was revealed to be a Blue Ranger key.

This surprised everyone there who witnessed it except for Sora, Ayumi, and Reina.

"You're gonna use the Legendary upgrade?" The Red Ranger asked.

"Yea, I feel like it'll be appropriate." Cyrus replied  as it folded the key. "Ninja Storm, Ranger Form! Ha!" He called out as he inserts the key into a slot on the side of his Morpher and turned the key, becoming engulfed in a burst of blue light. 


(Morphing Sequence - Ninja Storm)

Cyrus becomes surrounded by a hurricane as he then crosses both arms on his chest, right before spreading them wide open, which forms a blue Ranger outfit from his neck to feet with a dolphin tail symbol on his chest. Cyrus then moved his head up to the sky as his helmet suddenly appeared on his head with no visor. Then both visor from his eyes and mouth appears, completing his transformation. The hurricane then dies down around him, as he then started to get into a new pose with the dolphin symbol appearing behind him, as he was standing in the middle of a ocean with flowing waves.

(Morphing Sequence Ends)


"Power of Water! Blue Wind Ranger!" Cyrus shouted in a pose. He wore a blue outfit with a chest symbol of a white dolphin surrounded by a circle. The sleeves consisted of chainmail with blue gauntlets and white gloves. The helmet had a thin visor with a ninja headpiece surrounding it, resembling a tail fin. A short sword was sheathed behind him.

The students were yet again amazed by the new transformation

The students were yet again amazed by the new transformation. Most of them realized the costume Cyrus was wearing resembled that of a ninja.

"Wow, a new outfit!?" Sato said in awe.

"Incredible," Momo said in awe from the morph.

"He looks so badass right now." Sero said.

"He looks like a ninja!" Kaminari said in amazement, eyes wide with shock.

"That design is good, but not as dazzling as his last costume." Aoyama commented.

"A freakin ninja? Just how many costumes do these guys have!?" Mineta asked in jealousy.

"Don't know, but it appeared on him suddenly like the other one." Kirishima said in confusion.

"Astounding..." Tokoyami mused in awe.

"It's that device on his wrist." Tsuyu said, making the whole class look at her. "Before he transformed I noticed he used a device on his wrist to summon his costumes." She pointed out to his classmates.

"Yes, I also noticed that as well," Shoji said in agreement. "Since Ukashi and his friends don't have any powers like the rest of us, they use those devices to make up for it."

"The Blue Wind Ranger, huh? Not a bad choice!" Katrina soon whispered with an impressived tone.

"Really? How so?" Ayumi asked her.

"Well, considering what this part of training involves, I think I figured out Cy's plan." The A.I explained to her.

And thus, they began to perform the exercise. As discussed, Tokoyami began descending down into the chasm with the pulley provided.

"Tokoyami!" Momo said to him, "Remember to descend slowly! Be careful that you don't slip!"

"Got it!" Tokoyami said, as he continued on down.

"Let's get this plan started!" Cyrus declared, performing a hand seal right before he vanished completely from sight, leaving the class confused.

"What the!?" Ojiro said, looking around in every direction for the blue Ranger. "Where did he go?"


Down below in the chasm, Izuku and Kiba were both pretending that they had a broken leg, Ochaco was pretending she was unconscious, and Iida was acting like he was worried. Though it looked as though Ochaco was on the verge of bursting out with laughter.

At that moment, Cyrus reappeared in front of the "victims" from a whirlwind of water, kneeling down one knee. "No worries, help is on the way."

Everyone, except Kiba, was shocked by the boy's sudden appearance as the latter snorted.

"Took you long enough, Cy."

"Yeah, we were dealing with a little... disagreement up there." Cyrus sheepishly said.

"Hado? Is that you?" Tenya questioned upon recovering from his shock as Ochaco looked at the costume in awe as well.

"That suit..." Izuku uttered, recalling seeing it before from the Ranger history. 'He was able to change into one of the Wind Rangers? How is that possible?'

"URARAKA!" Iida yelled still being dramatic making Ochaco giggle harder, "WE'RE GOING TO BE OKAY!"

The gurney had soon been brought down and Tokoyami landed on the ground. "Sorry for the wait." He said to the group, then turning his gaze to Cyrus. "I must say, that is impressive suit."

"Thanks." Cyrus nodded before he glanced down at Ochaco. "Okay, you take Ochaco on the gurney since she lost consciousness. I'll get everyone else out of here."

"Wait, isn't it dangerous for you guys to carry a group of people by yourself?"?" Iida asked curiously.

"Don't worry, I got a plan for that." Cyrus reassured.

"Got it!" Izuku said, "But we can't."

"I mean I could if I wanted to, but that would be breaking the rules of this exercise." Kiba said.

"Very well..." Tokoyami said. He closed his eyes and activated his Quirk; out of his body came out a darker version of him with his eyes glowing a yellowish glow. This had been his Quirk, only known as Dark Shadow, leaving everyone amazed. "...I shall lend a hand as well."

"Oh, that's so hardcore!" Kiba commented, as Ochaco looked at the creature in amazement.

"Dark Shadow." Fumikage soon said, "Take Uraraka up. Quickly."

"It talks!?" Cyrus exclaimed in surprise and awe.

"Oh that's so cool!" Izuku commented.

"Really? I have to do that kind of work? That's boring." Dark Shadow said as he crossed his arms, "I'm not gonna do that."

"Hurry." Tokoyami simply told the dark creature.

Dark Shadow merely thought about it for a moment. "That's all I gotta do right?" He eventually said. Just like that, Dark Shadow placed Ochaco on the stretcher and began to take her up, going as slowly as he could.

"Take her up slowly." Tokoyami told him, "Don't let her get harmed."

"Yeah, yeah." Dark Shadow said, dismissively.

"Dark Shadow is an amazing Quirk for you to have!" Izuku commented.

"It's a useful tool, even if you can't separate it." Tokoyami said.

"I don't think he's a tool." Izuku said as his eyes sparkled, "He can always help you! That's so cool!"

Tokoyami was speechless at this as he looked at him; just surprised to hear that kind of comment. Just as they had gotten into the light, Dark Shadow let her go, and they pulled her up the rest of the way.

"Alright, looks like it's my turn now." Cyrus spoke up before raising his arms up slowly, then held them over his head, with his front fingers out.

"What's he doing?" Izuku asked, curiously.

"You'll see." Kiba smirked in confidence.

"I summon the blue ninja powers of the rising water!" Cyrus chanted as he held up his arms like a ninja.

Water began to form under the group, boosting them all up towards the top of the chasm. Izuku let out startled yelp as Tenya and Tokoyami had shocked expressions, while Kiba was whooping the entire time.

"All right! Yeah!" Kiba whooped in excitement.

"Amazing!" Izuku whispered in awe.

Soon, the group had reached the top and hopped off the geyser, before it dispersed. Almost everyone in Class 1-A was practically speechless and didn't know what to say. All they could do was to be mesmerized by it.

"What the? I-Is that a water geyser?"

"And it looks like Hado did that."

"But how!?"

"Simple." Sora spoke up, getting everyone's attention. "Since he was chosen as the Blue Ranger, he was granted the affinity of water and the ability to use it however he chooses."

"Really? Incredible." Ojiro commented with amazement.

"Does that mean the same thing applies to you all as well?" Tsuyu asked, placing her finger on her chin.

"Right on the nose, Tsu!" Ayumi chirped happily. "Sora's affinity is Fire, Reina's is Earth, Kiba's is Lightning, and mine is Wind!"

Upon setting the others down, Cyrus de-morphed back into his civilian hero costume, getting Momo's attention.

"Water Manipulation... Interesting." She whispered, bringing out a notebook and pen to write it down.

Cyrus noticed this and asked. "What are you writing?" He asked in curiosity.

"I'm writing down every feat that you and the others have performed," Momo answered while she continued to write. "You five have shown abilities and technology never seen before. If I tell my family about you, they would immediately support you Power Rangers to boost their reputation. They would definitely love that." She explained before looking at Cyrus.

Cyrus and Katrina's (Who was listening) eyes widened from that.

"You would really do that for us?" The boy asked in disbelief.

"But of course, Cyrus. To be honest I have been interested in you for a while since the first incident that you and your friends showed up." Momo said to him with a smile. "I have never seen anything like what you did before. I know with some help from my family, you and the other Rangers could become one of the greatest hero teams in the country. I for one hope you would take up my offer, so I can see you become an amazing quirkless hero." She said to the stunned boy.

Katrina knew about Yaoyorozu's family. Momo is the heiress to one of, if not the most, influential companies in all of Japan. They handle almost everything in terms of the Japanese market, from importing materials to producing goods in factories. They are integral to Japan's place in the international market.

"Hmm...Having someone like Yaoyorozu and her family backing us could benefit the Hero Force Rangers in the future." Katrina thought that wasn't a bad deal.

'Plus, they could help with promoting the app.' Cyrus was about to say something to the rich girl when...

"THANK YOU HEROES!" Iida shouted, still being overdramatic.

At that moment, Momo noticed that Ochaco was holding back her laughter at how Iida was acting. "Um... What are you laughing about, Uraraka?"

Ochaco replied as she tried to contain herself, "It's just that--Pfft! Iida, is super serious--Ffft! It's so funny!"

"I think it's wonderful, it's no laughing matter." Momo said to her.

"I mean, it's Iida. So..." Cyrus shrugged loosely.

"I'm sorry, but even so..." Ochaco said before she finally lost it, as she laughed hysterically.

Thirteen soon explained to the class, "Rescuing people without a Quirk is quite a taxing job. But that's how modern Heroes must shine!"

"But Bakugo is the only one pulling." Kaminari pointed out.

"SHUT UP, YOU BASTARDS!" Bakugo yelled as he helped fix up the stretcher for the next group.

"He merely judged he could use his Quirk to do the right thing." Thirteen explained, "However, acting a normal way there's a lot of professionals who are incapable of doing it. They always think of themselves when they encounter a challenging situation, they put it aside. When you manage to understand and remember you'll be able to pass. I'm sure he'll be a beautiful Hero someday!"

"Beautiful..." Kiba trailed off.

"Hero?" Katrina finished, before the Rangers stared at Bakugo's back and merely tilted their heads at the male. They tried to imagine what a beautiful hero would look like. Maybe sparkles surrounding the tough male as he effortlessly worked-

"Nope, can't see it." Reina commented bluntly as Sora and Kiba laughed their asses off, while Ayumi quickly looked to the side, her shoulders trembling a bit.

Bakugo growled as he couldn't help but think in his head, 'When this is all over, I'm gonna kill that bitch!'

"The next training is the last one." Aizawa stated, getting them all ready for the next group.


Soon after they had managed to get the job done, as they had been successful in saving everyone that had been at the bottom of the chasm. They had quickly moved onto the next group as it had consisted of Sora, Reina, Izuku, Ochaco, and Ojiro. They were quick to get to work, as Reina and Ochaco were down in the chasms helping those that were pretending to be in need of rescuing. One of them was Tsuyu and the other was Ayumi.

"Okay, we're all set." Reina said as she finished 'tending' her fellow female Ranger.

"Tsu, Ayumi, this might get a little scary, but try not to move." Ochaco said to them.

Tsuyu replied, "Alright."

"No worries, we trust you guys." Ayumi told them with a smile.

Ochaco touched Tsuyu's shoulder as she activated her Quirk.

"Alright, here goes!" Reina said as she started to focus, planting her hands on the ground. "I summon the elemental power of Earth!"

A column of earth rose underneath Reina and Ayumi before it started to move upward in the chasm. Tsuyu floated up while Ayumi was elevated till they both had arrived to the chasm where Izuku and Sora had waited; Ojiro's tail held onto the rope just in case the both of them fell.

"Catch!" Reina said as she toss Ayumi over and allowed Sora to catch her, bridal style.

"Uraraka! You can let go now!" Izuku yelled down below.

"Release!" Ochaco said putting her hands together, allowing Izuku to catch her bridal style also.

"Safe!" He said.

"Midoriya? Can you put me down?" Tsuyu asked, getting a confused look from the boy. It was then that he noticed that she had been blushing a little. "This is a little embarrassing. Even though my leg is bandaged, this is wrong."

Izuku's face turned red as he started to stutter as he didn't know what to do or say exactly.

Sora chuckled at the scene, "Smooth one, Izuku!"

Ayumi started to blush as soon as she was put in a bridal style. 'Oh wow, why does he smell so nice?' She thought to herself, but Sora noticed the way she was looking.

 'Oh wow, why does he smell so nice?' She thought to herself, but Sora noticed the way she was looking

"You okay, Ayu?"

Ayumi found her eyes locked with Sora's, and just stared at him for several more seconds before her face slowly began to heat up.

"Uhh...Ayu? You there?" Sora asked, raising an eyebrow when he didn't get a reply.

Ayumi's face was practically a tomato at this point as she snapped back to reality. "U-Uh, y-yeah! E-Everything's just peachy!" She squeaked, quickly jumping out of the brunette's grasp.

"S-Sorry!" She blurted out with a flushed face, as she started to straighten her hero uniform.

Sora just chuckled in response. "It's fine."

Little did either of them know, Hagakure was seen fuming in the background, if the puffs of smoke coming from her head were proof enough.

"We've rescued everyone." Ojiro said to Thirteen.

"Good work!" The Pro Hero said.

A certain group of students of the class, looked at how they were able to handle the situation, and how they were able to use their Quirks to help out; This being Sato, Shoji, Koda and Aoyama. "Huh." Sato said, "Seems like none of us were sufficient for this kind of exercise."

"It's unfair!" Aoyama said.

Ochaco had floated down along with Reina, as they were seen holding onto one another; they touched the ground gently the moment Ochaco deactivated her Quirk. Once more the students gathered around, as Thirteen discussed what they were going to do next.

"Great work for your first time training." She commented, "We still have more battle scenarios prepared for all of you."

"Well that's just terrific." Kaminari couldn't help but say as he slouched a little.

"Don't relax!" Aizawa said to the students, making them flinch. "Class is still in session."


The class soon found themselves in the central plaza, where Thirteen started to explain their next exercise.

"Okay, everyone. This is part of your training is where things get a bit intense. It's called the 'Disaster Evacuation Test'. As, you know, the USJ was built to train you all for disaster rescue. So for this scenario, there are 40 'civilians' scattered across each of the Zones and they are trapped. Your goal is to use your Quirks together in order to rescue all the labeled 'civilians' from the zones within the time frame of thirty-five minutes." The Pro told them as she gestured to the Zones with her arms.

Ayumi then raised her hand. "Excuse me, Thirteen? I have a question. Are you going to assign the teams, like you did for the previous exercise?" She asked.

 Thirteen held up a finger. "Actually, for this exercise, you all will be forming your own teams based on how well you work with the other students and how well your powrrs not only helps you in this exercise, but also with your fellow classmates."

The team looked on in surprise at this as the others looked pretty thrilled at working with the Rangers. Though one was left less than thrilled with this result.

"WHY THE HELL ARE THEY IN CHARGE OF THE TEAMS!?" Bakugo shouted, making Izuku shrink at this. 

"There's no helping it, besides we're in a Special Issue." Ochaco reasoned.

"THAT SHIT AGAIN!?" Bakugo yelled.

"Just suck it up and go with it!" Reina yelled with an irk mark on her forehead.

"Also, because they have a bit more experience than you and it will help get a better understanding of teamwork." Thirteen informed the boy, as Bakugo gritted his teeth in rage.

"Since we're doing this, we might as well change into something more appropriate." Sora said as he lifted his Morpher.

"Hell yea!" Reina smirked in glee as she held up her Morpher. 

"Sound good!" Cyrus agree, doing the same.

"Let's get it!" Kiba exclaimed with his Morpher proudly held up. 

"Okay!" Ayumi nodded as she followed her team's actions. 

Everyone who witnessed the Rangers bringing out their Morpher knew what was coming as they were excited to see what would happen next.

"Guys heads up, their going to change into those costumes again!" Toru warned her teams.

"Ready!?" Sora asked his friends/teammates.

"Ready!" The others quickly followed his actions.

The Rangers spun the dial, right before a gumball-sized hologram of the Lightspeed Rescue logo, that consisted of a blue symbol inside a yellow circle, floated on the dial's face.

"Legendary Ranger Mode, Lightspeed Rescue!" They called out before they slammed their dialsd own. Soon, a key appeared in each of their hands as it was revealed to be the Lightspeed Rescue Ranger Keys.

'What costumes are they going to use?' Everyone thought together in both surprise and confusion about the next form the Rangers were going to take.

The team  then held up their Lightspeed Rescue Ranger Keys before flicking them open. "Lightspeed Rescue!" They called out before inserting the keys into their Morphers' slots and turned the keys, becoming engulfed in bursts of light.


(Morph sequence - Lightspeed Rescue)

Sora held his hands up, as a red and white radical vortex striped shaped shield that resembled his arm emblems came out of it. He lowered his arms as it came towards him, and then it covered him in a Red Ranger suit, with white gloves and boots, with gold arms and leg bands around them, a gold belt, which had the Lightspeed symbol on the buckle, and a blaster holding on the right of it. The chest was red and white radical striped, a white cross was behind the helmet, and the visor resembled the shield shape. A respirator came up over his mouth, then his visor closed, as the Lightspeed symbol flashed behind him.

Cyrus held up his hands, as a blue and white radical vortex striped shield resembling his arm emblems came out of it. It then came towards him, then it covered him in a Blue Ranger suit the same as Sora's, then his respirator came up, and then the visor closed, as the Lightspeed symbol flashed behind him.

Reina held her hands up, as a green and white radical vortex striped shield resembling her arm emblems came out of it. She lowered her arms as it came towards her, then it covered her in a Green Ranger suit like the others, expect hers had a skirt on. Her respirator then came up, and then the visor closed, as the Lightspeed symbol flashed behind her.

Kiba held up his hands, as a yellow and white radical vortex striped shaped shield resembling his arm emblems came out of it. He lowered his arms as it came towards him, then it covered him in a Yellow Ranger suit like the others, then his respirator came up, and then the visor closed, as the Lightspeed symbol flashed behind him.

Ayumi held her hands up, as a pink and white radical vortex striped shaped shield resembling her arm emblems came out of it. She lowered her arms as it came towards her, then it covered her in a Pink Ranger suit exactly like her Reina's, then her respirator came up, and then the visor closed, as the Lightspeed symbol flashed behind her.

(End morph sequence)


Now the Rangers begin their roll call to the Ranger team that they were representing.

"Red Lightspeed Ranger, Rescue Ready!" Sora shouted while saluting before getting into his pose.

"Blue Lightspeed Ranger, Rescue Ready!" Cyrus shouted while saluting before getting into his pose

"Blue Lightspeed Ranger, Rescue Ready!" Cyrus shouted while saluting before getting into his pose.

"Green Lightspeed Ranger, Rescue Ready!" Reina shouted while saluting before getting into her pose

"Green Lightspeed Ranger, Rescue Ready!" Reina shouted while saluting before getting into her pose.

"Yellow Lightspeed Ranger, Rescue Ready!" Kiba shouted while saluting before getting into his pose

"Yellow Lightspeed Ranger, Rescue Ready!" Kiba shouted while saluting before getting into his pose.

"Yellow Lightspeed Ranger, Rescue Ready!" Kiba shouted while saluting before getting into his pose

"Pink Lightspeed Ranger, Rescue Ready!" Ayumi shouted while saluting before getting into her pose.

"People's lives are Earth's future!" Sora shouted while holding up his right hand before moving it in front of himself, then clenching his hand into a fist

"People's lives are Earth's future!" Sora shouted while holding up his right hand before moving it in front of himself, then clenching his hand into a fist.

Then the Rangers clapped their feet perfectly together before saluting again.

"Power Rangers..." The five Rangers shouted together in sync, as they saluted proudly before Sora,  Kiba, and Ayumi crouched down on their legs, pointing forward with their right hands like finger guns while Cyrus and Reina remained standing with their right hands pointing forward like finger guns too. "Lightspeed Rescue!" The Hero Force Rangers shouted as a giant explosion occurred behind them with the Lightspeed Rescue logo appearing as well.

This leaves everyone witnessing this stunned surprised by the roll call.

"Whoa! They changed into different costumes!" Kirishima exclaimed in shock.

"No joke!" Sero agreed in awe.

"Lightspeed Rescue?" Tokoyami said looking at the new Ranger forms in awe, as he was still blown away by their roll call.

"Excellent choice!" Thirteen said happily, clapping her hands. "The costumes that you're all seeing now are from the Lightspeed Rangers, who specialize majorly in disaster rescues and fighting demons!" 

"Specialize in fighting demons?!" The class all thought together in both surprise and confusion about the information as the Rangers took of their helmets for now.

'Amazing!' Izuku's eyes the Rangers in awe as he too was surprised about seeing the Rangers morph into the Lightspeed Rescue Rangers, remembering about them from the Ranger History Sora, Katrina, and the other Rangers showed him.

"Interesting." Aizawa uttered lowly, but decided to observe how the Rangers would do in the training.

"Now, I know all of you are excited, but before we can begin I have something to say to the Rangers." Thirteen clapped her hands to get the class' attention as she then turned to the Rangers. "Since you five are already prepared for this exercise, I hope you don't mind that I brought a little something to help your teams."

"Like what?" Reina was the one to ask before the Pro pulled out five wrist-bound devices.

"These are your Rescue Radars. They'll  help you all locate the civilians." Thirteen explained, handing each one to the Rangers.

"Ahh, sweet!" Kiba commented as he strapped the device to his right arm along with the others.

"Alright, everyone else will draw to see who you will be paired with." Thirteen added as she put her hand behind her back and brought out a metal can filled with 20 straws.

The Rangers, along with the rest of the class, were confused by what Thirteen said. "What's with the can?" Reina asked with a head tilt as she pointed at the can.

"This is how you'll form your teams. Inside this can are 20 straws that have your Ranger colors. Whichever 4 students draws the straw that has the same color as your Ranger uniforms, they'll be a part of your team." The Rescue Hero replied. 

"I see." Cyrus hummed in thought. "Since we're the team leaders for this exercise and there's 20 other students in our class, the teams will be made up of 5 five people- the team leader and the 4 students that draws the straws that has our Ranger colors."

"Almost like the combat training. " Ayumi mused. 

One by one, each student drew a straw to see what team they were on.

Team A: Sora Ukashi, Shoto Todoroki, Katsuki Bakugo, Rikido Sato, and Mashirao Ojiro

Team B: Reina Fukukado, Izuku Midoriya, Eijiro Kirishima, Yuga Aoyama, and Tenya Iida

Team C: Cyrus Hado, Koji Koda, Tokoyami Fumikage, Tsuyu Asui, and Ochaco Uraraka

Team D: Kiba Mason, Kyoka Jiro, Denki Kaminari, Mina Ashido, and Toru Hagakure

Team E: Ayumi Suzuni, Minoru Mineta, Hanta Sero, Mezo Shoji, and Momo Yaoyorozu


Kiba's Team

"Whoo! We're working together, Kibi!" Mina cheered happily as she high-fived Kiba with a bright smile.

"Heck yeah!" The yellow Ranger replied with the same expression.

"'Kibi'?" Jiro raised an eyebrow at what Mina just called the Yellow Ranger.

"Yeah. It's my nickname for him." Mina replied with a cheeky smile. "Cute, huh?"

Kiba thought about the nickname Mina gave him before chuckling lightly. "I kinda like it. And since you're gonna keep calling me that, how do you feel about me calling you 'Mimi' as your nickname?" 

 Mina felt her heart skip a beat while her cheeks blushed as she was touched by what Kiba did. "Aww, thanks; I love it." 

 While Jiro stared at the scene with a deadpan expression on her face, Hagakure was gushing at the scene before her. "Aww. They look so cute together." 

"Lucky bastard." Kaminari growled under his breath.


Reina's Team

"Looking forward to working with ya, Red!" Reina snickered as she held out a fist out for Kirishima, who grinned in response.

"For sure! This is gonna be so manly!" The redhead reponded as he bumped his own fist against hers.

'I still can't believe it! How were they able to change costumes like that?' Izuku thought as his gaze fell onto all of the Rangers. 'Maybe after training, I could ask them about it...'

"Well..." Tenya spoke up, choosing his words carefully, before he nods at Reina firmly with vigor. "Since this is the first time we're working together, I'm looking forward to seeing your abilities in action, Fukukado!"

Reina responded to Iida's words with a small nod. "I'll try not to disappoint you."

"Oui," Yuga chimed in as he flamboyantly flipped his hair. "Let us sparkle together!"


Cyrus' Team

"Alright! Let's go and save them this time!" Ochaco said excitedly as she moved her fists up and down. "Let's do our best, guys!"

Cyrus smiled in amusement. "Well, it seems like someone is really eager about this exercise."

"How can I not be?" Ochaco asked as she looked at him. "Not only do we actually get to rescue training this time, but I can get to see you and the others in action more! Especially with those cool new suits!"

"Indeed." Tokoyami nodded in agreement. "Besides, I'm rather interested in seeing your teams' abilities once again."

Koda merely nodded his head in shyness.

"Ribbit. I'm curious, though." Tsuyu spoke as she gave the suit a look over. "That new suit you're wearing. What does it do exactly?"

Cyrus thought about what to tell her before answering. "Well, all I can say is that it's quite useful in water rescue missions."

"I'd like to see it in action if we're ever headed to the Shipwreck Zone. Ribbit."

"Sure thing. " The Blue Ranger nodded before his gaze fell onto Momo, who was with Ayumi. 


Ayumi's Team

As she felt eyes on her, Momo turned her head and saw Cyrus gazing in her direction. With a soft smile, she waved at him while also wishing that they were on the same team together.

It was then she felt a hand placed on her shoulder, causing her to turn and see it was Ayumi.

"Don't worry about Cyrus; he'll be fine. He's really smart, and he can take care of himself." The Pink Ranger assured with a bright smile.

 Momo returned the look after that. "You're right. Forgive me for being distracted."

Mineta, who was standing close by, stared at their figures. "A team with two bombshell babes..." He blushed, giggled stupidly, and gave a thumbs up. "This is paradise~!"

When she saw this, Momo gave Mineta a harsh look, making the little pervert laugh nervously.

With a deadpan gaze, Ayumi looked over at Sero and Shoji, "Would you two mind keeping an eye on him so he doesn't do anything perverted or say anything about me or Momo?"

"Sure thing!" The former said, snatching up the small boy with a thumbs up.

"Leave it to us. " The latter nodded in agreement. 


Sora's Team

 As usual, a certain ash blonde was left less than thrilled with this result.

"You gotta be kidding me! I'm on the same team as Red Eyes and Icy Hot?!" Bakugo shouted, gesturing to said students.

"Red eyes...?" Sora quirked a brow at this.

"Why is that a bad thing?" Sato questioned in confusion.

  "Yeah, I think it's great to have them on team." Ojiro added in. "Since we've seen what they can do, I'm sure we'll have no problem completing this exercise."

"Who asked you, extras!?" Bakugo exclaimed loudly.

Shaking his head from Bakugo's words, Sora looked over at their other member. "Looks like we're going to be working together again, Todoroki." He said to the heterochromia teen.

"It would appear so." Todoroki said lowly before looking at Sora from the corner of his eye. 'That suit must give him different abilities. I'll have to watch him closely.'

"Now that the teams are formed, it's time to assign you all to your destined zone!" Thirteen announced as she looked at all the teams. "Team A, you'll be sent to the Fire Zone. Team Be, head for the Landslide Zone. Team C, make your way towards the Shipwreck Zone. Team D, I'll leave the Ruins Zone to you. And finally, Team E... your location will be in the Mountain Zone. "

"Right!" Everyone exclaimed as the Rangers placed their helmets back on

"Good luck to you all!"

With that, everyone  had been sent off to their destined locations.

USJ - Mountain Zone

Ayumi's Team

"Alright, we're here!" The Pink Ranger declared as her entire group arrived in the Mountain Zone.

Momo took a look around the area in remembrance, getting Shoji's attention. "Is everything alright?" 

 Momo gasped softly in surprise as she turned to Shoji. "Oh, yes. Please forgive me. It's just... This Zone is where Cyrus, Jiro, Kaminari, and myself were warped to when the League of Villains attacked the USJ."

"Ahh, that makes sense." Sero joined in, hearing the conversation. "So, what's the plan, Suzuni?"

Ayumi thought for a moment. "Hmm...Shoji, your Quirk allows you see and hear things, right?"

"Yes." The Dupli-Arms teen replied. "It allows me to transform my tentacles into a part of my body such as eyes, mouths, hands, or ears."

"Okay, do you think you can use it to help us find any civilians?"

"Let's see..." Shoji replied as he spread out his six arms. The tips of four of the arms turned and morphed into ears. This was his Quirk; Dupli-Arms. This allowed Shoji to replicate different body parts on the tips of his arms—or tentacles.

"Ugh, it's actually really strange to see it up close..." Mineta muttered with a shiver.

"Shut it!" Sero berated him with a slight nudge.

"Heeelp!" shouted a girl's voice that caught Shoji's sensitive ears, "Is anyone there?!"

The ears turned into little, mini mouths. "Hey! I hear a voice!" Shoji told the team through a mouth.

"From which way?" Momo asked.

"Over that way!" Shoji answered, pointing to the higher part of the mountain. Ayumi looked to the direction he spoke of. Ayumi's helmet glowed as she activated her ability to see further, thanks to her Lightspeed suit. Sure enough, she saw a girl-shaped mannequin on top of some broken rubble.

"There's a girl up there!" Ayumi noticed.

"Oh no! She must've been caught in a rockslide!" Sero realized.

"Let's go!" Ayumi declared, racing headlong towards the destination.


USJ - Ruins Zone

Kiba's Team

The Yellow Ranger's team walked through the city ruins, keeping an eye out of where the 'civilians' might be.

"So what's the plan?" Mina asked aloud.

 "Well, I've still got this Rescue Radar that Thirteen gave me." Kiba replied as he held up said device. "I guess all we have to do is use it to locate any civilians that are here and rescue them."

"What about Jiro's Quirk? She can help with the rescue." Toru pointed out.

Kiba blinked owlishly at that as he suddenly remembered what Jiro can do with her earphone jacks. "Oh yeah. I guess I kinda forgot that you did something like that during the Battle Trial." Kiba sheepishly said while rubbing the back of his head.

"Yeah, it is pretty cool." Kaminari added in.

"Yeah, and unlike yours, it doesn't cause me to short-circuit." Jiro snickered, getting a flinch from the lightning user.

The girl then walked over to a wall and moved her Earphone Jack to stab it into the wall. Jiro then closed her eyes and listened for any faint sounds that she might be able to hear, even extremely thick walls.

"Somebody, help us!" A woman's voice screamed. "Please?! We're stuck in the building!"

When Jiro heard the voice coming directly from above them, she turned to her teammates and pointed upwards. "I hear several voices coming from the top floor. This is it!"

"Let's get moving then!" Kiba declared before turning to Mina. "Mimi, do you think you can use your Quirk on the wall in front of us so we can get in?"

"Sure thing!" Mina chirped before she placed her hands on the wall and used her Acid quirk to quickly melt it, forming a hole for everyone to go through. "How's this?"

"Now I know who to call when I need to make a surprise entrance." Kiba joked while giving Mina a thumbs-up. "Alright, let's make history people!"


USJ - Shipwreck Zone

Cyrus' Team

The third team were now standing in front of their destination that consisted of a maritime environment with a lake, several ruins ships, and even a waterslide.

"Huh." Cyrus blinked in thought. "You know, it kinda looks like a place for a pool party."

"Yeah, you're right." Ochaco agreed as she tilted her head. "If it wasn't for that broken ship, it could've been mistaken for a yacht."

"Ribbit, blame that on the villains." Tsuyu croaked. "Midoriya, Mineta, and I were all warped here when they attacked. Thankfully, we cleared in and stopped them."

"Such a dark hour for us." Tokoyami mused in a low tone.

Koda merely shivered as he recalled the incident, until he spotted a pair of fish in the water not too far from the group. He then jogged over towards them, getting everyone's attention.

"Koda?" Ochaco blinked in surprise, seeing the Anima Quirk user kneel by the water and began conversing with the aquatic animals. "What's he doing?" 

"It must be his Quirk." Cyrus wondered aloud. "If I recall, it allowed him to command animals."

"Ribbit." Tsuyu croaked in agreement.

After a few moments, Koda got up and returned to the group. "Did you learn something from them, my friend?" Tokoyami asked.

Koda then began speaking in sign language. "Y-Yes. Apparently, they saw Thirteen putting people-like dolls onto the ship. I think that's where we're supposed to rescue them from."

"Whoa, really?" Cyrus said, placing hand on the side of his helmet as his visor began scanning the area of the boat. Sure enough, he saw the 'civilians' all on the broken structure. "It's true. I see them!"

"Way to go, Koda!" Ochaco remarked with a bright smile, getting the boy to looked at his feet bashfully.

"Okay, I have a plan!" Cyrus announced, turning to the others. "Ochaco, Asui, and I will head to the boat and get the civilians. Tokoyami, you and Koda wait here on standby."

"Yes!" Ochaco cheered with a pumped fist.

"Got it. Also, call me Tsu." Tsuyu told him.

"Oh, r-right..."

"Understood." Tokoyami nodded while Koda just gave the Blue Ranger a thumbs up.

"Okay, let's move!" Cyrus exclaimed, before using his ability over water to surf towards the ship. Not far behind, Tsuyu dove into the lake and swam after the boy while Ochaco pressed her hands together to float over to the structure.


USJ - Landslide Zone

Reina's Team

Within moments, Team B now stood in center of the Landslide Zone. "Alright, boys!" Reina said, turning to the group. "This is it!"

With confidence Tenya raised a fist, "Everyone, we must do our best to be save the citizens!"

"Yeah!" Kirishima exclaimed as he slammed his fists together. "Let's get manly!"

"Oui. Since we are all working together in this exercise, it is only fair for me to help you all shine bright. But not as bright as me, of course." Aoyama remarked, posing with sparkles surrounding him.

"We'll have to do this properly," Izuku said. However, he started thinking about how they would be scored. They were given enough information and that would have to rely on their training. "What's the first move, Fukukado?"

"Hmm...let's start by heading to the closest urban area," Reina said, leading the others through a large, ruined area filled with destroyed buildings that were reduced to rubble. "We'll work as a team as much as possible."

The other students responded by saying, "RIGHT!"

However, Reina gasped when he heard a voice in the distance and turned her head to look in the direction it came from. It sounded like someone was crying. Turning her head to the left, whe saw it was coming from a partially destroyed building that was still standing.

"What's wrong, Fukukado?" Kirishima said, coming to a stop with the others looking at the Green Ranger in confusion.

"There's someone over by that building!" Reina exclaimed, making a bee-line at the nearest building and heading over to the crying sound.

"Wait up, Fukukado!" Izuku yelled out as he and the others ran after Reina.


USJ - Fire Zone

Sora's Team

Finally, Team A had arrived in the Fire Zone, where they could all feel the heat flowing around the area.

"Holy crap, it's hot!" Sato commented as he wiped his forehead.

"Trust me, I know." Ojiro said as he looked around. "I was sent here by that warp villain and encountered several thugs."

"Good thing you made it out of that ordeal in one piece." Sora said before turning to the heterochromatic teen. "By the way, Todoroki, are you going to be okay here?"

The heterochromia teen held up his right hand. "I'll be fine. My ice will be more than enough for this."

The Red Ranger nodded at this before turning to the whole team. "Alright, let's look nearby!"

"There's no need!" Bakugo suddenly shouted, "Follow me, garbage!" Just like that he rocketed off and leaving his group behind.

The group couldn't help but watch awkwardly as the boy disappeared, in the distance. Though they soon lost the thought when Sato had yelled, "What's with that guy!? Can he really be that self centered!?"

"You know how Bakugo is; it can't be helped." Sora replied, causing all eyes to turn towards him. "For now, let's start searching for the civilians!"

His visor zoomed in on a tower nearby that was leaning slightly, then it went into heat vision mode, showing three civilians trapped inside an elevator.

"I'm picking up something from inside that building. " Sora reported. "There are people trapped in that elevator!" 

"Alright, let's go get 'em, guys!" Sato exclaimed, flexing his muscles. 

"I'm with ya." Ojiro said.

"Right." Shoto said.

The team then made their way towards the tower and soon entered a burning hallway, but then stopped as the ceiling caved in slightly.

"Ah!" Ojiro Ojiro let out a startled scream.

"Watch out!" Sato yelled.

"Leave this to me." Todoroki said before sending a wave of ice that engulfed the flames, freezing them solid in the process, and preventing the ceiling from collapsing any further. "There, that should hold it for a while. "

"Whoa." Sora uttered in amazement before giving Todoroki a thumbs up. "Thanks for the assist, Todoroki."

"We don't have much time." Sora realized. "We better split up. Ojiro, you and Sato head that way.  Todoroki and I will take this way."

"Right." the group agreed.

Sato and Ojiro both ran past Sora and Todoroki in different directions, as the others then ran down the hallway.

Sora jumped over a fire as he ran down a hallway, his suit protecting him.

Todoroki slid through a corridor on a trail of ice as he tried to stop  the fire.

Sato and Ojiro crawled along a rope over a fire, and then looked down a vent cover, seeing the elevator.

"There!" Sato yelled as he pulled the cover off, then looked down at the elevator. "We gotta hurry." He realized, seeing fires all over the shaft.

"Hold on, guys!"  Ojiro shouted, jumping down and landing on the elevator.

""We gotta hurry." The Sugar Rush Quirk user realized, seeing fire all over the shaft.

Sato then lowered himself down using an elevator cable and kicked open the elevator hatch, allowing himself and Ojiro to jump in and land near the civilians.

The tower began to rock, making a cable holding the elevator car snap.

The elevator fell slightly, making the two teens fall onto their backs.

"The cables!" Ojiro gasped. "Sato, can you get the doors opened?"

"Leave it to me!" Sato replied as he flexed his muscles before approaching the elevator doors and attempting to use his strength to pry them open. "Ugh...come on! Open!"

Outside, Sora ran towards the elevator as he heard the voices. Once he made it to the door, he stopped in front of it. "Sato? Ojiro? Are you two in there, and are you both okay?" He called out.

 Sato perked up at this. "Ukashi? Thank goodness you're here!"

"We're fine and we found the civilians, but the elevator's going to fall, any minute now!" Ojiro added in.

 "Don't worry, I'll get you guys out of there!" Sora told them as he tried to pull it open, but it wouldn't budge, and then Todoroki made it to him.

"Ukashi, the building's about to go down." he informed. "We need to leave!"

"We've gotta get them outta here first!" Sora argued, as he kept pulling.

The tower tumbled slightly, knocking them both onto their backs, along with Sato and Ojiro inside.

"The tower's starting to to collapse!" Sato exclaimed in worry.

Fires began to spread through the tower, with a big one approaching Sora and Todoroki making them back away as they got up.

"We may not have time!" Todoroki said, as he put out the flames with his ice.

"Then, we'll have to make time!" Sora said, before holding up his left arm close to his face. "Rescue Bird!" He shouted into his morpher to call for some more extra firepower, as his visor pulled up information on a metal bird made of six parts to show the Ranger before the device activated.

Then suddenly, a portal opens up above the hall with the Rescue Bird shooting out of the portal to fly towards the Red Lightspeed Rescue Ranger before closing up, which surprised Todoroki.

"What...?" He uttered in shock at what he saw.

"Separate!" Sora shouted an order to the weapon.

Then the Rescue Bird separated into its five pieces, with Sora catching the Rescue drill part while holding his grip handle.

"Rescue Drill..." he said, combining them both. "...power up!"

The drill spun around, and then he put it down the middle of the door, as Sato stepped back.

The elevator soon then opened slightly, but that was more than enough.

"Alright!" Sora said, putting the drill away and began pulling the door open.

"Ukashi!" Ojiro cried, as Sora pulled his body through the doorway and then pulled the door open.

"You did it!" Sato said.

"Come on." the Red Ranger said, entering the elevator. "Let's get them outta here."


With Aizawa and Thirteen

All the while, as the test had now been ongoing for fifteen minutes already, Thirteen and Aizawa were observing how each of their students were not only handling themselves in a high stress situation, but also how they were utilizing their Quirks in tandem with each other. While her quieter counterpart said nothing, Thirteen herself had already been feeling quite satisfied with what she was observing on the screens.

In the Mountain Zone, Mineta had laid out a trail of his adhesive hair spheres up the support column for a destroyed bridge; thus allowing Ayumi, Sero and Shouji to climb up, in order for Mezo to use his strength and expanding appendages to pull back a loaded bus that was teetering on the edge. Ayumi then climbed on the bus to get the "citizens" off, as Sero to laid down a tape line from the edge of the bridge down to the ground, where Momo Yaoyorozu had already created a large emergency cushion for her teammates and the civilians to land on.

In the Ruins Zone, Jirou was using her earlobe jacks to listen for any of the recorded cries of distress some of the civilians had been said to have, in order to more easily locate them, while  Kaminari tried to use his electricity sparingly to reactivate the emergency shutters to some of the buildings to allow easy access and exit, and Mina used her acid to melt through some of the walls to get past the rubble blocking the halls, making a quicker exit and allowing Kiba and Hagakure to pass through to help the "civilians".

In the Shipwreck Zone, Cyrus, Ochaco, and Tsuyu were using a combination of their abilites to locate and rescue the civilians trapped in the submerged ship, using the latter duo's Float Quirk and prehensile tongue. On land, Koda's ability to speak to animals (in this case, the fish), was used to locate other "civilians" trapped in submerged vehicles scattered throughout the lake, while Tokoyami was using his Dark Shadow to pull out the heavier vehicles from the water that his other teammates wouldn't be able to get free on their own.

In the Landslide Zone, Reina, Izuku, Kirishima, Aoyama, and Tenya were using a combination of Reina's Ranger strength, Aoyama's laser, Eijirou's hardening, and Tenya's speed to break through the rubble and rescue the trapped civilians, while Izuku tried to keep up in grabbing the ones he could manage to reach, not wanting to cripple himself using his Quirk for the fourth time.

In the Fire Zone, Shoto Todoroki was using his freezing abilities to extinguish all the fires he could find, so that Sora, Rikido Sato and Mashirao Ojiro could use their mutual strengths to break through the smoldering wreckage in order to pull out the civilians trapped inside.

"They seem to be carrying on quite admirably out there. Wouldn't you agree, Aizawa?" Thirteen finally asked as she and the homeroom teacher kept observing their students in action. "Only six whole days of the school year so far, and already they have come to recognize the practicality of each others' Quirks, and have enough of an understanding and connection with each other in order to effectively pull off working together as one big team. Especially with the Power Rangers too. That's certainly not a bad rate, as far as entire classes go."

"You're not wrong, especially since Midoriya didn't manage to injure himself again by using his Quirk to help complete the exercise." Aizawa commented before narrowing his eyes. "Although... there's one student who seems to have forgotten about the whole point of the exercise."


Slowly but surely, everyone in Class 1-A had managed to gather up the respective mannequin civilians of their assigned portions of the grounds, and had gotten them to the emergency vehicles designated as the evacuation zone/finish line. Many were feeling quite proud of themselves and each other, but as time went by and more and more of their classmates returned with the last of their civilians, the more they each began to realize the clock was still ticking, and not everyone had been accounted for.

"Hey, where's Bakugo?" Kirishima asked, looking around for said ash blonde.

Ojiro scratched his cheek. "He kinda took off on his own, so maybe he's still in the Fire Zone...?"

Izuku gave a awkward smile. "Yeah, that sounds like Kacchan."

Sora let out a defeated sigh. "I'll go get him." 

 "Want me to tag along, just in case he doesn't cooperate and needs some 'convincing'? Reina asked as she cracked her knuckles in emphasis.

Sora sweat dropped at Reina's actions before waving his hands and politely declining her offer. "Uhh, I appreciate the help, Reina, but I think I can handle it by myself." He told them, before turning around and ran back to the Fire Zone. "I'll be back!"


Later....

"You have all performed exceptionally well out there today, class! Each team's sense of strategizing and working in tandem with each others' Quirks, especially in a variety of different environments, has managed to save the lives of every civilian trapped in the disaster area, and well within the time limit, as well. Thus, Class 1-A has earned an overall score of 1,500 points; well above a passing grade in the Disaster Evacuation Test!" Thirteen's announcement left many of the class looking exceptionally proud of themselves and each other, just as proud as she felt of them.

The Rangers, now de-morphed, were high-fiving each other in glee.

"Of course, it would've been higher had someone not chosen to stray away from the pack." Aizawa grunted, turning his gaze on the now returned Bakugo.

Said ash blond turned his head away in annoyance as he was singled out by the homeroom teacher. Especially, considering he hadn't found a single 'civilain'.

Soon, the class followed the teachers to the Ruins zone where they all stopped at the center of the zone, which is where they started to explain their next exercise.

Thirteen said to the students, "Now, you should all be aware, that unlike in the first training, you all must be wary that there are different situations! The purpose of this scenario is to give you all the experience you need in case you are to encounter situations like this. The injured could be anywhere. And we're not sure what state they're in. So in this exercise, five of you will be the rescuers, while the rest of you will have eight minutes to hide wherever they wish. I will select those of you that won't be allowed to speak."

"So it's like its own version of Marco Polo?" Kiba asked, scratching his head.

"No, no, Kibi!" Mina said, cheerfully. "It's like a game of hide and seek!"

"In some ways yes." Thirteen said, "Alrighty! Let's select our five rescuers! It'll be..." Thirteen started to pick with the group, "...You guys!" Thirteen pointed to Sora, Izuku, Bakugo, Ochaco and Mineta; once more the ash blonde was left less than thrilled with this result.

"WHY THE HELL AM I PAIRED WITH DEKU AND RED EYES AGAIN!?" Bakugo shouted, making Izuku shrink at this. 

"Well, we're in a Special Issue after all." Kiba reasoned.

"ENOUGH WITH THAT SHIT!!" Bakugo yelled in annoyance.

"Calm down, man!" Kirishima told him in a placating manner.

Mineta eyed the girls' bottoms, in particular, Ayumi, Mina, and Tsuyu as he started to drool again. "When you carry the victims, you can touch their chest and ass! Is that considered an evil deed?"

"Mineta, you're forbidden to carry them." Izuku said.

"Yeah, I mean seriously." Cyrus said, "I've barely talked to girls and even I have class."

Sora glared daggers at Mineta as Reina did the same. "You think about going near her..." Sora said as he cracked his knuckles, "... I'll turn you into a pile of ashes!"

Reina said with a growl, "Yeah, Grape Boy... Unless you wanna see tomorrow again. Back the f*** off."

"MERCY!" Mineta yelled in terror.

Thirteen clapped her hands getting the students' attention, "Okay now all of you get to hiding! You have two minutes!" The rest of the students nodded before they split them up into separate groups.

Two minutes had passed by as the group of five had gotten ready, just as Thirteen said, "Let the training begin! Good luck!"

"Okay!" Izuku said, turning to the group, "Let's look nearby!"

"Screw that!" Bakugo shouted, "I'm going off on my own!" Just like that he rocketed off, knocking Mineta off of his feet and leaving his group behind.

'Again!?' Sora thought as his eyebrow twitched in anger.

The group couldn't help but watch awkwardly as the boy disappeared, in the distance. Though they soon lost the thought when Mineta had yelled, "WHAT IS WITH THAT GUY!? HE'S TOO RASH!"

Sora let out a loud sigh. "It can't be helped." He spoke, causing all eyes to turn towards him. "For now, let's search for the ones that can talk!"

Ochaco nodded. "Got it!"

"Alright." Izuku agreed before he turned to Mineta, "A lot of time has passed since the fight, let's do our best." He said.

"Ok!" Mineta replied, giving him a thumbs up.

"Let's go!"

With that, the group split up, running in different directions to save as many students that were pretending to be injured citizens.


Somewhere inside a ruined building, Todoroki sat himself on one of the loose rocks nearby as he briefly lamented on his childhood. Gritting his teeth, he looked down at his left hand and clenched his fist. "I will not be as you want." He growled.

"What a face you have there." An unfamiliar voice had said.

The dual color haired teen jumped at an unknown voice as he became alert. He practically jumped from the floor as it had suddenly exploded. "Who's there!?" Todoroki exclaimed.

The smoke cleared and it revealed to be a tall figure wearing gunmetal-colored steel armor. The helmet was adorned with a large, conical horn in the middle of the forehead, has a pair of parallel, horizontal vents beneath each half-moon eye hole and a fang motif just above the protruding chin. The top of the helmet also sports a ribbon of white hair that hangs down to the small of the suit's back.

The trunk of the body also consists of a removable breastplate with a protruding, triangular shelf on the chest just below the throat guard, a high collar that extends out of the back and surrounds the rear and sides of the neck, and a large, circular leather patch on either side of the abdomen.

The armor body also appears to have a triple spike motif, as each shoulder is adorned with a trio of large conical spikes lined in a row and each elbow, knee, and foot carries small, spiky protrusions as well.

"A Villain!?" Todoroki exclaimed in shock at the person's appearance. "Who are you!?"

"Who I am is none of your concern!" The armor-clad enemy replied, before launching at the boy. "You'll be defeated soon anyways!"

"Ahh!" Todoroki yelled, rolling to his left.

The villain slammed into the ground where he stood, then Todoroki got up and unleashed a wave of ice at his opponent.

But he proved to be quick as well as he was suddenly behind him. "You're too slow!" The Villain said as he went to attack, giving the teen no time to react.

To Be Continued...

 

Notes:

Finally done! Sorry it took so long. Tbh, I don't think this was one of my best. What did you guys think of it? Also, for the next chapter, should the Rangers....

- Stay with their Lightspeed modes?

- Change into another Ranger team?

- Or form a 'Once a Ranger' formation???

Let me know your thoughts and opinions on it so far. See ya!!!

USJ - Ruins Zone

"Hey! Help!"

Izuku and Mineta followed the voice to an open area, which had been a building that was on its side. As expected they had found one of their classmates inside the building. "Oijiro!" Izuku said with a smile.

"Hey guys!" The Tail-Quirk user said as he waved down below.

"Hang on, we'll get you out!" Izuku had reassured him.

Izuku grabbed a nearby pole while Mineta removed the purple balls from his head and placed them onto the pole, creating a makeshift ladder. They placed it inside and allowed Ojiro to climb back up to the surface

"Using my Quirk like that!" Mineta said to the greenette, "You really are clever!"

Izuku smiled sheepishly at this as he said, "I've always thought about other people's Quirks."

"Hey guys!" They soon heard Ochaco say, "We found Kyoka!"

They looked over in her direction, and saw several pieces of debris floating above the ground with the help of her Quirk, revealing that Jiro had been in a gap just underneath.

Sora then helped the girl stand to her feet. "Are you alright, Jiro?" he asked.

"Yeah." The girl replied, "I thought for sure that you wouldn't find me."

"Alright, that's two down!" Sora said, "Let's find the rest of--"

"EVERYONE!"

The small group turned over to the direction of the sudden voice; they saw that it had been Iida, who had activated his Quirk and was running towards them. "Iida?" Izuku said surprised.

"Wait, I thought he was one of the injured." Jiro said.

Sensing something coming at them, Sora grabbed Ochaco and Jiro and jumped out of the way, just as Iida hit the dirt and covered his face.

A sudden gust of wind blew by them as if there had been a hurricane, making the whole ground shake, and drawing the attention of the other students that had been hiding. Just as the wind settled, Sora sat the girls down, and looked them over. "Are you two okay?" He asked.

"Yeah, I think so." Ochaco said getting her senses together.

"Thanks for the save." Jiro spoke up as she rubbed her head.

"Sora!"

The Red Ranger turned to Kiba, Cyrus, Reina and Ayumi all rush over to him and the others. "What the hell happened!?" Reina exclaimed, running over to them.

"It's a villain!" Iida said to them, surprising them.

"WHAT!?" Most of them exclaimed.

The group looked to the villain just as the smoke cleared; they couldn't help but shrink at his gaze, as he stepped towards them. "W-What is that thing!?" Mineta exclaimed in fright.

"That's the villain?" Izuku muttered, looking over the monster. "It looks like a suit of armor..."

"But wait, that horse guy that Ukashi's crew fought wiped out the villains from the USJ, didn't he!?" Sato shouted.

"Don't tell me they were hiding!" Ochaco said with fear in her tone.

The Rangers all look surprised at the villain's appearance as they take it in. "I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that's not a Ranger villain." Reina hissed.

"That would be very much the case." Cyrus responded back. "Or it could be someone new from Alsatia's group."

"Wait, do they have someone?" Ayumi asked as she squinted as more of the smoke cleared.

They saw that the metal villain had been holding some by the jacket. They recognized who it had been when they saw the familiar red and white hair. "Todoroki!" Ochaco exclaimed.

"But he's one of the strongest in the class!" Jiro tried to reason, "There's no way he got caught!"

"Seriously!? Why is this happening!?" Mineta said as tears were threatening to fall.

"We need to hurry and get the teachers!" Iida said, "And get out of here while we can!"

"Already on it!" Ojiro said, running to where the teachers were.

"But what about them!?" Ochaco said, "We can't leave them behind!"

"Like I'm gonna let you escape!" The villain said as he lifted his foot. "I'M GONNA FINISH YOU RIGHT HERE AND NOW!"

He merely slammed his foot onto the ground, creating another gust of wind that knocked all of the students that had been in the vicinity off of their feet and onto the ground; not only that, the buildings that had once surrounded them seemingly vanished due to the extreme force.

"Tch! Damn it!" Sora shouted, just as the smoke cleared.

Most of the students couldn't help but scream at the fact that the surrounding area literally disappeared in an instant. "HOLY CRAP!" Mineta exclaimed.

"SO STRONG!" They heard Kaminari exclaim.

"How in the world did he manage to hide himself!?" Kirishima shouted.

"Now that the terrain is clear, no one will escape!" The villain declared haughtily, raising up one finger.

"Think again, tin-grin!" Sora retorted loudly, grabbing the villain's attention. "If anyone's not escaping, it's you!"

"He's right!" Ayumi nodded, narrowing her eyes. "Now give us our classmate back, now!"

"Oh, you mean this pitiful child?" The villain taunted, holding up the unconscious Todoroki. "You want him, come take him."

"Challenge accepted." Reina stated, as the Rangers all stood side by side.

"Hey Mina!" Kiba called out.

"H-Huh?" The Acid-user perked up at her name.

"You and the others wanted to see our suits, right?" Kiba spoke as he and the others raised their Morphers. "Wish granted!"

"Alright, guys. Let's show this tin can who he's messing with!" Sora said as he lifted his Morpher.

"Hell yeah!" Reina smirked in glee as she held up her Morpher.

"Sounds good to me!" Cyrus agreed, doing the same.

"Let's get it!" Kiba exclaimed with his Morpher proudly held up.

"Okay!" Ayumi nodded as she followed her team's actions.

Everyone who witnessed the Rangers bringing out their Morphers knew what was coming as they were excited to see what would happen next.

"Guys, heads up! They're going to change into those costumes again!" Toru notified the teens.

"Ready?!" Sora asked his friends/teammates.

"Ready!" The others quickly followed his actions.

"IT'S MORPHIN TIME!" The Rangers shouted before they spun the dial, right before a gumball-sized hologram of the Pirate Legacy logo, that consisted of two swords crossing each other with a key in the center, floated on the dial's face.

"IT'S MORPHIN TIME!" The Rangers shouted before they spun the dial, right before a gumball-sized hologram of the Pirate Legacy logo, that consisted of two swords crossing each other with a key in the center, floated on the dial's face

"Legendary Ranger Mode, Pirate Legacy!" They called out before they slammed their dials down. Soon, a key appeared in each of their hands as it was revealed to be the Pirate Legacy Ranger Keys.

The team then held up their Pirate Legacy Ranger Keys before flicking them open. "Pirate Change!" They called out before inserting the keys into their Morphers' slots and turned the keys, becoming engulfed in bursts of light.

(Morph sequence - Pirate Legacy)

The background changes to outer space as Sora stands there with his arms down to his side. Then a big red X zoomed through Sora, changing his clothes into a black leotard with the Pirate Legacy logo on the center of his chest and a pair of white gloves. Another big red X zoomed at him again, forming his vest and boots. Suddenly, two smaller red Xs appear behind him and form his helmet with the Pirate Legacy logo appearing next on the forehead of the helmet, completing the transformation as his helmet briefly shines for a moment.

The background changes to outer space as Cyrus stands there with his arms down to his side. Then a big blue X zoomed through Cyrus, changing his clothes into a black leotard with the Pirate Legacy logo on the center of his chest and a pair of white gloves.

Suddenly, two smaller blue Xs appear behind him and form his helmet with the Pirate Legacy logo appearing next on the forehead of the helmet, completing the transformation as his helmet briefly shines for a moment.

The background changes to outer space as Kiba stands there with his arms down to his side.

Another big yellow X zoomed at him again, forming his vest and boots. Suddenly, two smaller yellow Xs appear behind him and form his helmet with the Pirate Legacy logo appearing next on the forehead of the helmet, completing the transformation as his helmet briefly shines for a moment.

The background changes to outer space as Reina stands there with here arms down to her side. Then a big green X zoomed through Reina, changing her clothes into a black leotard with the Pirate Legacy logo on the center of her chest and a pair of white gloves. Another big green X zoomed at her again, forming her vest and boots. Suddenly, two smaller green Xs appear behind her and form her helmet with the Pirate Legacy logo appearing next on the forehead of the helmet, completing the transformation as her helmet briefly shines for a moment.

The background changes to outer space as Ayumi stands there with her arms down to her side. Then a big pink X zoomed through Ayumi, changing her clothes into a black leotard with the Pirate Legacy logo on the center of her chest and a pair of white gloves. Another big pink X zoomed at her again, forming her vest and boots. Suddenly, two smaller pink Xs appear behind her and form her helmet with the Pirate Legacy logo appearing next on the forehead of the helmet, completing the transformation as her helmet briefly shines for a moment.

~Morphing Sequnce End~

Once again, the class was completely shocked at what they had just seen the Rangers do as they began their roll call.

"Red Pirate Legacy Ranger!" Sora shouted while flicking his vest collar with his right hand. He wore a black undersuit. On the center of the suit was the Pirate Legacy logo. He wore a red vest that resembled a pirate's jacket with a pop-off collar and a golden belt wrapped around the waist. The front of the helmet resembled a pirate's hat. It had a thin visor with two "tears" going down on both sides. The emblem on the suit was also printed on the helmet.

"Blue Pirate Legacy Ranger!" Cyrus shouted while merely tilting his head down, as his right hand made it slightly like he was adjusting his helmet

"Blue Pirate Legacy Ranger!" Cyrus shouted while merely tilting his head down, as his right hand made it slightly like he was adjusting his helmet. He wore a blue vest that resembled a pirate's jacket with a pop-off collar and a golden belt wrapped around the waist. The front of the helmet resembled a pirate's hat. It had a thin visor with two "tears" going down on both sides, as his visor was more sharp shaped. The emblem on the suit was also printed on the helmet.

"Yellow Pirate Legacy Ranger!" Kiba shouted while shifting his body a bit, putting his hands on his thighs, and rubbing them slightly as he introduced himself

"Yellow Pirate Legacy Ranger!" Kiba shouted while shifting his body a bit, putting his hands on his thighs, and rubbing them slightly as he introduced himself. He wore a yellow vest that resembled a pirate's jacket with a pop-off collar and a golden belt wrapped around the waist. The front of the helmet resembled a pirate's hat. It had a thin visor with two "tears" going down on both sides, as his visor was U shaped. The emblem on the suit was also printed on the helmet.

"Green Pirate Legacy Ranger!" Reina shouted while crossing her left arm across her chest with her right elbow on her left hand before she waved down in a gesture, giving a peace sign

"Green Pirate Legacy Ranger!" Reina shouted while crossing her left arm across her chest with her right elbow on her left hand before she waved down in a gesture, giving a peace sign. She wore a green vest that resembled a pirate's jacket with a pop-off collar, and a golden belt wrapped around the waist with a green skirt under the belt. The front of the helmet resembled a pirate's hat. It had a thin visor with two "tears" going down on both sides, as her visor was U shaped. The front of the helmet resembled a pirate's hat. It had a thin visor with two "tears" going down on both sides, as her visor was more square shaped. The emblem on the suit was also printed on the helmet.

"Pink Pirate Legacy Ranger!" Ayumi shouted while raising her right hand before lowering it to her chest as if introducing herself elegantly, slightly bowing to her audience

"Pink Pirate Legacy Ranger!" Ayumi shouted while raising her right hand before lowering it to her chest as if introducing herself elegantly, slightly bowing to her audience. She wore a pink vest that resembled a pirate's jacket with a pop-off collar, and a golden belt wrapped around the waist with a pink skirt under the belt. The front of the helmet resembled a pirate's hat. It had a thin visor with two "tears" going down on both sides, as her visor was heart shaped. The emblem on the suit was also printed on the helmet.

Then suddenly, a giant black flag with the Pirate Legacy Rangers logo on it appeared behind them, as the pirate flag was waving freely

Then suddenly, a giant black flag with the Pirate Legacy Rangers logo on it appeared behind them, as the pirate flag was waving freely.

"Power Rangers..." Sora shouted before he and the rest of his teammates started to get into different poses. "Pirate Legacy!" The five of them shouted together in sync for everyone to hear.

 "Holy crap, their outfits changed again!" Kaminari exclaimed in shock.

"Not only that, but they look like...pirates!?" Jiro pointed out to everyone.

"You're right. Which means they must have abilites that are pirate-related." Momo said to the class.

"Wow! They look so cool!" Ochaco chirped as her eyes sparkled in awe.

Bakugo's eyes widened at the Rangers before he gritted his teeth in anger.

Izuku looked on at the Rangers with a bit of surprise too. 'A-Amazing! First Lightspeed, now Pirate Legacy? Wait...do this mean  that they have the ability to change into every Ranger team?'

"In any case, I wonder what they can do in those outfits?" Sero wondered in curiosity.

"Probably something amazing considering everything we've seen so far," Shoji said looking forward to what happens next.

"Everyone! Stay back!" Ayumi yelled to the students, as the Rangers all stood together.

"Just leave it to us!" Kiba spoke, giving a thumbs up.

"We'll cover you until everyone's out of here!" Cyrus exclaimed as they prepared to face the metal villain.

"We'll protect everyone!" Sora declared loudly for everyone to hear, causing the students to gaze at the Rangers in awe.

Seeing the Rangers now morphed, the villain's expression surprisingly didn't waver, nor did his overconfident posture. 

"Such confidence!" He snorted as he raised his free hand. "Battle my forces! Arise!"

Suddenly, the the debris around Class A began to shake and rumble before a bunch of villain bots rose up from the ground and stared down the students, much to their shock.

["Target acquired."] The 1-Pointer said. ["Terminate them."]

"What the...!?" Kirishima gaped in shock.

Kaminari let out a shriek of horror. "Are those the robots from the practical test?!"

"You gotta be kidding me!" Mineta shouted.

"How did he even get a hold of those things!?" Mina exclaimed with wide eyes.

"He must've found a way to hack them somehow." Cyrus assumed in thought. "That must be why he has control over the robots."

Sora stepped forward. "Whether that's the case or not, we'll stop them all the same." He then drew out his weapons, consisting of a Legacy Saber and Gun.

"Right!" The other Rangers agreed as they did the same.

"Let's make this showy!" Sora exclaimed before pointing his Legacy Gun forward at the enemy and started to fire off multiple shots that took out a few of the villain bots, which only enraged them.

"Crush them!" The metal villain ordered as he threw his hand out.

Letting out noises resembling beeps, the robotic army ran forward at the Rangers.

The Rangers charged forward at the army with both groups starting to clash with one another, as the class and metal villain watched the battle from a safe distance.


With Ayumi

At the fight, Aymui was standing on a destroyed structure before throwing a grappling hook attached to her sword in the air at something to hook on too. She then shoots two villain bots near her before dodging an attack from behind her by a robot grunt, by spinning and kicking the  villain bots off the structure.

"Heads up!" Ayumi shouted running off the destroyed structure then started swinging in the air thanks to her grappling hook while shooting the villain bots below her before landing safely on top of another structure and meeting the remaining grunts at her side, as Ayumi quickly unattached the rope on her Legacy Saber then started to swing and shot her weapons at the  villain bots.


With Reina

In another destroyed structure, Reina ran while shooting down the robotic grunts.

"Out of the way!" Reina yelled while still running then slashed two villain bots down before stopping to turn around and shoot another villain bot with a sword behind her before running off again.

The green Ranger ran up to another grunt, cutting it while turning back around before shooting one more on her left then quickly shot a second one rushing her right side. Reina notices another grunt behind her ready to launch a energy attack at the girl before she kicks it off from the top of the structure.


With Kiba

Kiba jumped from a metal working structure to a pile of boulders, avoiding enemy attacks by barrel rolling on the ground then quickly regained his footing and delivered slashes to the villain bots grunts next to him.

"These new powers rock!" Kiba happily shouted while running and hopping down the pile of boulders, before barrel rolling down onto a large working table as he made his way back to the ground floor.

The Yellow Ranger then started to swing his sword around at nearby grunts before looking back up behind him to see another grunt coming at him but Kiba fired his Legacy Gun at it, shooting it down for good.


With Cyrus

Cyrus was on top of a ruined cliff, fighting off villain bots before he did a backflip off the cliff to dodge an attack from the enemy and he fell down to the ground.

"Whoa!" He shouted before using a grappling hook attached to his sword to to grab onto a railing lining that slowed down his descent to the ground.

Below him, Cyrus sees a group of villain bots and comes up with an idea. He took advantage of his position while starting to bungee jump up and down thanks to his grappling hook. As Cyrus kept on bungee jumping, he was slashing and shooting the foes down around him at the same time, while the grunts were having a difficult time trying to land hit him.


With Sora

Sora ran past a number of foes before jumping up to a villain bot, kicking off it to jump onto a wooden platform, where two grunts were standing.

"Eat this!" Sora shouted while landing on top of the platform next to the grunts before taking them both out by delivering two quick slashes at the grunts.

He quickly shot two grunts below and two more jumped at him from both sides but slashed the villain bots down in an intanst. He noticed two grunts approaching him from behind, so Sora performed a corkscrew flip on a lower platform as the two grunts ran up to him and swung their arms straight down at the Ranger. But Sora raises up his Legacy Saber to block both of the two grunts' attacks before shooting both of them.

Sora then took a quick glance to his right side before throwing his Legacy Saber at a villain bot next to Cyrus, impaling the robot in the chest and stopping its movements, which surprised the Blue Ranger a bit.

"Guys, let's change things up!" Sora suggested as he noticed Kiba, who was on a metal structure running from some grunts as they were firing energy attacks from above.

"Sure thing, chief!" Kiba who heard Sora stopped for a brief moment to throw his Legacy Saber to Sora, before jumping off the metal structure and somersaulting into the air.

"You got it!" Cyrus said throwing his Legacy Gun to Sora.

Sora saw the two weapons coming at him, then kicked the gun towards Kiba's direction with his left foot, while spinning his body around to grab the sword with his right hand before dodging a villain bot's assault from behind and slashing the grunt in the back.

He then ran up to villain bots cuts them down with his sword and spins around more grunts to evade their attack like a football player before turning back at the grunts, pointing his gun at them as he opens fire to defeat them.

Cyrus picks up the sword that was stuck from a Batzler's chest and starts running at a number of enemies slashing every single one of them with a dual welding sword style before stopping an attack with both of his blades. He slashes the grunt across the chest to take him down for good, and then a group of villain bots gather together and fire off energy attacks from their claws at the boy. Cyrus quickly noticed this and took action as he deflected each laser attack with his swords, as the deflected attacks were hitting random enemies behind him.


Meanwhile, the Green and Pink Pirate Legacy Rangers were right next to each other fighting off their opponents.

Reina slashes a villain bot down while spinning to her right to kick a grunt behind her.

"Ayu, let's switch too!" Reina shouted to her before tossing her Legacy Gun at her.

Aymui quickly cuts down a grunt before facing Reina.

"Right!" Ayumi replied with a nod before tossing her Legacy Saber at her.

After the quick exchange, Ayumi spun around before crossing her arms up together while holding up her guns, and Reina slashed a villain bot before swinging both her swords around.

Ayumi jumped to another destroyed structure full of villain bots and started shooting at them before dropping to the ground on her back to avoid several' attacks from above, then the Pink Ranger pointed her guns up at the robotic grunts and returned fire, killing them all. Ayumi quickly got back up and then started firing shots at nearby foes in multiple directions before twirling around while shooting more enemies down.

Reina jumped into the air performing a front flip in the middle of a group of enemies, then ran up to a villain bot and slashed it down with both blades, she turned to the right slashing another grunt with her swords that was running towards her right before swinging her sword at a grunt on her right.

"Time to end this!" Reina declared while swinging around her sword in her right hand.

The Green Ranger then attached ropes on both the Legacy Saber for her to hold the swords.

"Saber Whip!" Reina started swinging her weapons around skillfully, slashing every single enemy surrounding the girl before returning the weapons to her hands.


As all of this was happening, everyone watching the battle in both shock and amazement at how the Rangers were outmatching the villain bot grunts they were having a hard time fighting, as they couldn't take their eyes off the action.

"I-Incredible!" Shoji uttered in awe as he and the others stared slack-jawed at the Rangers' display of strength.

"Indeed, they're strong." Tokoyami said in awe at how well they were performing as a team.

"Yeah!" Mina cheered on, prompting others to do the same. "Go, Go, Power Rangers!"

"Go, Go, Power Rangers!"


Back to the battle, the Rangers all regrouped with each other, as they stared down the robot army, seeing more of them.

"Jeez, there's no end to those guys," Reina complained with annoyance.

"Looks like they're planning to come at us in waves to tire us out," Cyrus said as he figured out their plan.

"Make sense, since they outnumber us." Ayumi said.

"Like that'll stop us." Sora said getting in front of the group. "Let's step up our game with Legendary Ranger Mode." He suggested.

"Heck yeah! I was hoping you'd say that, bro!" Kiba said with a smile.

Then the Pirate Legacy Rangers formed up together before pressing a button on the top of their belt buckles to summon their Ranger Keys, grabbing it with their right hand, and then opening up their Mobilates with their other hands. 

"Legendary Ranger Mode: Mighty Morphin!" They all shouted together while holding up their Mighty Morphin Ranger Keys before flicking them open. "It's Morphin Time!" They then inserted the keys into their Morphers before moving them forward, as five Power Coins of different dinosaurs appeared in front of them before consuming the Rangers to change them into new suits.

Sora was the Mighty Morphin Red Ranger, Cyrus was the Mighty Morphin Blue Ranger, Kiba was the Mighty Morphin Yellow Ranger (Male Version), Reina was the Mighty Morphin Black Ranger (Female Version), and Ayumi was the Mighty Morphin Pink Ranger.

Witnessing this made the metal villain and Class A's eyes widen again in shock for the second time from the unexpected transformation. Aizawa and Thirteen who saw this were also surprised.

"No way! Their outfits just changed again!" Thirteen cried out  in complete disbelief.

"Well, now that interesting," Aizawa said getting over his shock and was smirking to see what was going to happen next. 'So they're able to change into Past Rangers...'

"Guys, let's do the Tower Formation Attack." Ayumi suggested bringing out her Blade Blaster.

"Right! Everyone in position." Sora agreed pulling his Blade Blaster while everyone did the same and got in position.

"Yeah!" The others nodded, as everyone stood next to each other and had their Blade Blasters in Stick Mode.

Kiba and Cyrus jumped backward, forming a tower, with them at the bottom, as Reina and Ayumi in the middle on their shoulders, and Sora at the top, on the girls' shoulders.

This confused everyone watching as they had no idea why they did something so ridiculous.

"Power up!" Sora ordered.

The Rangers pointed their Blade Blasters into the center of the tower, as Blasters started to charge up energy that created a hexagram orb of light.

"Fire!" They shouted together before firing the hexagram orb straight at the villain bot army.

When the blast made contact with the robots, it caused a massive explosion that took out a quarter of their forces which surprised everyone as they didn't expect to see that.

"What!?" The metal villain shouted in shock as the explosion caused a smoke cloud that covered their vision.

Before they could recover, the Rangers bust through the cloud of smoke holding different weapons than the ones they used for the combo attack and to strike at the villain bots.

"Power Bow!" Ayumi shouted while jumping in the air before firing multiple pink arrows at several bots from the sky, killing them as they exploded.

"Power Daggers!" Kiba shouted while slashing and stabbing villain bots as they collapsed.

"Power Lance!" Cyrus shouted while helping Kiba deal with the machines by cutting them down as well.

"Power Axe!" Reina shouted while slamming her weapon down on the floor slips the ground into two and makes the some of the "villains" fall to their death.

"Power Sword!" Sora shouted while slashing at every villain bot in his sight as he didn't give them a chance to even think or make a move.

He then stopped himself when a red laser flew by his left side, as the enemy regained their senses and began to counter attack the Rangers.

"So persistent!" Reina groaned as she and the others were fighting off the bots.

Sora blocks an attack with his sword before holding up another Ranger Key, flicking it open. "Everyone, let's try another mode change!" He ordered his team.

"Right!" The five shouted together.

Soon they all regrouped once more and had their backs against one another in a circle, surrounded by the villain bots, before the five all pulled out a new set of Ranger Keys and their Morphers, quickly flipping them open.

"Legendary Ranger Mode: Samurai!" They all shouted together while holding up their Samurai Ranger Keys. "Go, Go, Samurai!" They then inserted the keys into their Morphers before moving them forward, as five different giant kanji symbols appeared in front of them, stopping the enemies from assaulting them and pushing the villain bots back as kanji symbols consumed the Rangers to change them into new suits.

Sora was the Red Samurai Ranger, Cyrus was the Blue Samurai Ranger, Kiba was the Yellow Samurai Ranger (Male Version), Reina was the Green Samurai Ranger (Female Version), and Ayumi was the Pink Samurai Ranger.

"They changed their outfits again! How do they keep doing that?!" Tenya shouted in surprise as the others were wondering the same question.

"How many changes do they even have!?" Kaminari cried out.

Back to the action, the Rangers each pulled out the swords from their hiltes before charging and easily slashing their way through the villain bots. After making quick work of their foes, the Pirate Legacy Rangers regrouped and pulled out a third set of Ranger Keys to use.

"Legendary Ranger Mode: Mystic Force!" They all shouted together while holding up they're Mystic Force Ranger Keys before flicking them open. "Magical Source, Mystic Force!" They then inserted the keys into their Morphers, and five magical circles appeared above their heads and descended down on the Ranger's bodies to change them into new suits.

Sora was the Red Mystic Ranger, Cyrus was the Blue Mystic Ranger (Male Version), Kiba was the Yellow Mystic Ranger, Reina was the Green Mystic Ranger (Female Version),  and Ayumi was the Pink Mystic Ranger.

"A third transformation this time, ami." Aoyama said with interest as he could feel strong power coming off all five of them now.

Each of the Rangers flip their capes to the side before pulling out their Magi Staffs.

"Magi Staff, full power!" The five Rangers shouted together as they held up their weapons in the air before they started to glow in their respective colors, before blasting five different elemental attacks at the several more villain bots, wiping them out in a matter of seconds.

There was only a few left, and they backed away at how their fellow bots were taken out so easily by a couple of children. But soon they all charged in defiance to stop the team.

["Terminate! Terminate!"] They all chanted in unison as they fired red lasers at the Rangers. Multiple explosions went off, with the five Rangers were engulfed in the blast as Sora let go of his Magi Staff as it flew above the explosion, changing back into the Legacy Saber.

But suddenly, He jumped out of the fire to grab his sword, back in the Red Pirate Legacy form, with the rest of his teammates doing the same thing as they've reverted back to the Pirate Legacy Rangers before falling the bots, slashing them one by one with their weapons.

Then all the Rangers regrouped with each other, at they stood together.

"Let's end it." Sora declared as he, Cyrus, Kiba, Reina, and Ayumi all stepped forward to end this little warm up.

"Right!" The four replied before pressing a button on the front of their Legacy Sabers, making the cylinders spring up from the back.

Then, pressing a button on top of their belt buckles, they pulled out their Pirate Legacy Ranger Keys and grabbed them with their right hands, then The Rangers flick the keys open to insert them into the cylinders with a twist before setting them back down in place, making the symbols on the side glow five times repeatedly in their respective color.

"FINAL WAVE!" A voice from all of their weapons announced with the background turning into deep space which surprised everyone there yet again. As each of the Rangers' Legacy Saber blades began to glow brightly in their respective colors, charging up power with the Pirate Legacy Rangers taking their own unique stance.

The villain bots stood in shock, seeing their swords glow and started to suddenly panic in fear as they took a couple of steps back.

The Pirate Legacy Rangers took a step forward and raised their Legacy Sabers to unleash a special attack.

"Legacy Slash!" The Pirate Legacy Rangers shouted while swinging the Legacy Sabers, flinging five different colors of energy slashes at their opponents as all five hits dealt massive damage, with the background returning back to normal.

"GAAAAAH!" The robotic grunts cried out in pain, their bodies crackling in red electricity as they all exploded in defeat before the flames died down to reveal nothing but ashes.

"Enemy down." Sora declared as he twirled his Legacy Saber around. 'Man, it feels good to be a Ranger!'

USJ - Earth

Class 1-A was left dumbfounded as to what just happened. Not only did they see the Rangers change into new costumes, but they destroy all of the villain bots in no time at all. It was no wonder they were the Top 5 in the Entrance Exam.

"Amazing..." Izuku could gaze at the Hero Force Rangers in utter awe. Seeing them in action up close, they truly acted and worked as a team.

"Okay, I know that the Rangers are strong and all but this is just crazy," Sero said as everyone in the room agreed.

"I know right? That wasn't even a fight." Kaminari said in a scared tone. "They're the same age as us, and they're this good."

"But how are they this strong?" Ojiro asked in curiosity.

"It has to be those costumes they are wearing," Shoji said getting everyone's attention. "Their power, speed, and combat abilities increase the moment they put those suits on."

"Not to mention those advanced weapons they have." Tokoyami pointed out.

"It's completely unfair if you ask me! How come they can use all that stuff anyway?!" Mineta complained.

"That's not the time for that!" Tenya scolded the grape-haired boy. "We are in the middle of a villain attack!"

Soon, the team turned their attention back to the metal villain. 

"So, anyone have a plan of attack?" Kiba asked his friends.

"Well, we can't attack full force since he has Todoroki captive." Cyrus responded.

"Exactly. Right now, the plan is to take back Todoroki and then we go for the villain." Sora told them.

"MOVE ASIDE, EXTRAS!" They soon heard Bakugo yell before he rocketed towards the armored villain, ready to take him down. Bakugo activated his Quirk just as the villain lifted his free hand, blocking the blast. Bakugo jumped back a good few feet as he landed on the ground. "You guys run!" He said to them all with a smirk, "I'll take care of him!"

The whole class was shocked at what Bakugo had suggested while the Villain looked amused.

"You have guts to go up against me like that." The Villain said before Bakugo charged at him again in a fit of rage.

"That dumbass! What does he think he's doing!?" Reina hissed.

"Why doesn't that guy ever think!?" Mineta exclaimed, "Doesn't he realize that the Villain is stronger!!!!"

'That's not it...' Izuku said, as he watches Bakugo try to blast the villain, only for said foe to effortlessy block his attacks with his hand. 'Kacchan... He's not the kind of person to think...'

"IT'S OVER!"

"Be careful!" Tenya shouted in panic.

As the villain hurled his fist forward, Bakugo slams his palm into the ground and propels himself upwards with the help of his quirk, avoiding the villain's punch that destroyed the ground instead. Bakugo then flips over the villain before he proceeds to launch back at him. "DIE!"

*BOOM*

He then proceeded to slam his palm onto the villain's back and set off an explosion, which sent the young boy slidding across the ground on his heel right before stopping near Tenya.

Bakugo soon yelled to the bespectacled boy when he saw that he was still standing there, "HEY FOUR EYES! DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE OTHERS AND GET OUT OF HERE! MAKE YOURSELF USEFUL AND MAKE THOSE WEAKLINGS RUN AWAY!"

Tenya didn't take that insult lightly as he chided him. "Why do you have to insult others!?"

"Hey Bakugo!" They soon heard Kirishima say. Bakugo stopped in his tracks and saw the redhead who stood up on top of one of the debris. "What do you mean by those weaklings?" He asked.

Momo stepped forward as she said, "We're the students of class 1-A of the Hero Course. We don't leave anyone behind!"

"Yeah!" Ochaco added firmly, trying to keep up her tough outlook. "We'll all be heroes!"

Reina look mildly surprised at this before snorting with a smirk. "Suit yourselves. Just try to not to get in the way." She muttered.

Izuku smiled at everyone's confidence, as they remained as they were. "Everyone..." Izuku said.

"You guys..." Sora breathed out as he glanced at his classmates, who were ready to fight for their lives. Just like during the USJ incident.

Kiba said with a smile, "Well if you guys wanna tag in--- THEN LET'S PARTY! "

Cyrus rubbed the back of his helmet with a chuckle. "Well, we're all trying to be heroes, right?"

"Right!" Ayumi nodded in agreement. "The more the merrier!"

The villain laughed as they turned their attention back to him. "How brave. However..." He then swung his fist allowing the debris to fly towards them.

"I'll take care of that!" Yuga said. A laser fired from his navel getting rid of the debris; Kirishima and Rikido took care of the debris that Yuga had missed, with the help of their Quirks.

"Think again!" Reina called out, jumping in and shooting the rubble into pieces, letting it fly past her.

"Fukukado!" Kirishima gasped, before smiling brightly at her. "Thanks!"

"Heh, no sweat!"

"I'll start it off!" Sora declared,  pointing his Legacy Blaster at the villain. "Let's make this showy!" He began to fire shots at the metal villain as it was a sign that the battle had started.

The villain only scoffed before swiping at the Rangers while avoiding the gunfire, as he was going to attack Sora first. But before she could take another step, Ayumi and Cyrus were the first to sweep forward at the villain while switching their weapons with each other, as Cyrus had two blades in his hand and Ayumi had two guns in hers.

"You're ours now!" Ayumi declared at the villain. 

Ayumi started firing her guns as she advanced towards her foe, while the villain had no problem blocking the gunfire with his free metal forearms, though some of them hit him in the process. Meanwhile, Cyrus slashed the sharp, dangerous weapons right across the villain's stomach, only for him to move out of the way in time to get grazed at by the Legacy Sabers. But that didn't stop the Blue Ranger's assault as he swung his body back around to strike at the villain with his left sword that was blocked with his right arm, Then Ayumi appeared right next to the villain's other side to pistol whip her opponent, which made the villain swing his other arm at the Pink Ranger's chest that knocked her back on the floor in pain with Cyrus attacking him with his other blade.

But the villain quickly pushed the Blue Ranger away before punching him in the face and sending the Ranger across the other side of the area. Kiba and Reina approached the villain next as they already switched their weapons too with Kiba holding two guns and Reina holding two swords in their hands, while Reina jumped right next to the villain and attacked first.

"Let's go, metal head!" Reina shouted while spiral-spinning herself at the villain.

The villain attempted to run towards the Green Ranger to block the blades by swinging his arms to whip Reina a few feet away, as the girl shifted her body to land on her feet. At the same time, Kiba fired a few shots at the villain that caused sparks to fly off the foe's armor, making him turn to the Yellow Ranger and rush at the boy with a burst of speed as his right fist was ready to destroy him, but Kiba leaned to his left to barely dodge the attack and sent a high kick to the villain's back.

"To slow, hero." the villain stated while ducking under the kick and moving back a bit with the four Rangers charging at him with Sora joining in.

The villain then quickly launched a shockwave to attack the five Rangers with the wind moving at a blinding speed. Reina and Kiba were hit directly by the shockwave as sparks flew off their suits as they let a scream of pain while falling back on the ground but Sora powered through the attack , shocking the villain with how the boy withstood it so easily. Sora was the first to charge at the villain raised his sword and brought it down onto the enemy, with him taking a step back to evade the blade but at the same time Cyrus ran up to him and spun to the right to send a left kick straight into the villain's gut which connects successfully, as he lets out a groan from the pain.

"AGGHHH!" the villain grunted.

"Now who's too slow!" Cyrus said back at him as Ayumi jumped over her friend to quickly swing her Legacy Saber diagonally upward at the villain making sparks and smoke come off his body, pushing him slightly back.

Jiro plugged her earplug into the speaker of her costume creating a powerful soundwave, keeping the villain in place, while Sero wrapped tape around him, and Momo fired a net over him, with a cannon she made with the help of her Quirk.

"NOW!" Momo yelled.

Just like that, the Class charged at the Villain while he was trapped. "LET'S GO CLASS 1-A!" Tenya shouted as they charged.

Though the villain broke out of the restraints with his brute strength, making another gust of wind pushing everyone back again and making them scream.

"Well this is a surprise." The villain said as he stretched, "To think you would all attack at once. Though with something so simple--"

Bakugo suddenly appeared from behind, attacking the large Villain head on once again with full force. "DIE!" He yelled just as he activated his Quirk; Once again, the large Villain blocked his attack.

TOO SLOW!" The villain yelled as he began to attack, giving Katsuki no time to react.

"No, you don't!" Kiba shouted, quickly moving in front of the ash-blonde as he shot several blasts at the villain, causing him to be pushed back across the ground.

At that moment, Sora, Cyrus, and Reina somersaulted into the air.

"Hyah!" they yelled, bringing out their weapons.

They all hit the villain down the chest, but they didn't dent him. He knocked their weapons up, then whacked them across the chest with his hand, knocking them down.

"Ah!" they moaned.

"Damn, that could've gone better!" Reina groaned, getting to her knees.

"Why not just give up already?" the villain suggested, holding up an arm.

"FINAL WAVE!" A voice from Ayumi's weapons announced, with her Legacy Gun barrel glowing bright pink charging up power.

"Suzuni!" Ochaco called out in shock.

Ayumi then fires a pink energy bullet from her Legacy Gun, before she swung out a pink energy slash from her Legacy Saber to collide with the pink bullet for both attacks to increase in power, as the combined attack collided against the villain and exploded, sliding him back.

"What the hell are you damn extras doing here?!" Bakugo snarled at the Rangers with a heated glare.

"Uh, helping you? You're welcome, by the way." Cyrus said to him in an angry tone.

"I didn't need help, Blue-Clues! I'm perfectly fine!" Bakugo countered as he didn't want to show any weakness.

"Clearly you aren't with how badly you almost got thrashed." Kiba retorted bluntly.

"Nobody asked you, Goldilocks!" Bakugo shouted as he stomped forward. "You extras need to mind your own god damn business!"

The Rangers just stood there watching as Bakugo was throwing a fit for just trying to help him.

"What an inconsiderate jerk." Ayumi said with a huff.

"Agreed." Sora and Reina chorused in unison.

"Screw you guys! I'll take down this villain by myself!" Bakugo yelled before he flew towards the villain again, attacking over and over with his Quirk.

"Pitiful...too blindsided by your own ego to see what's happening in front of you." the villain said, before effortlessly throwing the boy away into a pile of debris as he kicked up a large dust cloud.

"BAKUGO/KACCHAN!" The class exclaimed in shock and horror at where the boy landed.

"He sent Bakugo flying!" Mineta shuddered in terror.

"Now that that's done..." the villain began, turning to face the Rangers. "I can get back to destroying the rest of you!"

"Like that's going to happen!" Sora mocked as the Rangers held their weapons up and charged at him.

Kiba tried to slash him with this Legacy Saber, but the armored villian blocked it with his metal arm, then smacked him slightly across the chest, knocking him away. He stumbled forward, but then stopped and turned around.

The villain blocked both Cyrus' Legacy Saber with his arm, while using his left leg to block Reina's, before he knocked the weapon up with it, making her stumble back. He turned to Cyrus and kicked the blunette back. He turned and knocked Kiba away with his hand, making him twirl around before falling to the ground and demorphing. Then he bashed Ayumi with it, making her flip forward onto the ground.

"Uh!" she groaned as she demorphed.

He turned to Cyrus, who spun around and tried to shoot him with his Legacy Gun, but missed as he deflected them. He then blocked Cyrus with his arm, but then turned around and smacked Reina with his other arm, knocking her down.

"AHH!" Reina moaned as she also demorphed.

The villain turned back to Cyrus and blocked his gun once more, before bashing him up across the chest and sending sparks flying.

"AGHH!" Cyrus moaned, twirling around, before hitting the ground and demorphed.

The villain turned to Sora and pointed at him. "You're next." he snarled.

Sora charged at him, then tried to slash him with his Legacy Saber, but he blocked it with his arms. He then stepped back as Sora tried to shoot him with his Legacy Gun while spinning around, though the villain blocked the shots with his arm. Sora then sent a kick at him, but he blocked it with his arm, then he spun around to smack Sora, but missed as Sora rolled forward, who then got to his knees while turning around.

The villain approached Sora slowly, who got up and then blocked his forearm with his sword. Sora then pulled it away, then both he and the villain spun around, then the armored foe blocked Sora's sword again, before they pulled apart and turned to each other. The villain then blocked Sora's sword with his arm, before he knocked Sora across the chest with it.

"AGHH!" Sora moaned, yet still managing to stand.

"Take this!" The villain yelled before unleashing another gust of wind that knocked the red Ranger off his feet.

"AHHH!" He cried out as he flew back a few feet and landed in front on his team, demorphed.

"Oh!" he grunted in pain.

"Sora!" The other Rangers shouted as they ran over to help him to his feet.

"I'm so over this tin can!" Sora groaned out.

"Ahh, come on Heroes!" The villain taunted as he stood in front of them, holding onto Todoroki still. "I was expecting a better challenge than that! Don't tell me that's all you can offer!"

Sora let out a mock laugh. "Don't count us out yet! That's what you creeps don't get! We're the Power Rangers for a reason!" He declared, holding up his Morpher. 

Once again, everyone found themselves in awe by the Red Ranger's heroism.

"Guys, let's go Jurassic on this guy!" Sora told his team.

"Yeah!" The other Rangers called out in agreement, doing the same.

"Legendary Ranger Mode! Dino Thunder" The Rangers shouted as they slammed their dials down. Soon, a key appeared in each of their hands as it was revealed to be similar keys. The team then held up their Ranger Keys before flicking them open and yelling out as one.

"Dino Thunder, Power up! HA!"

The team then inserted the keys into their Morphers' slots and turned the keys, becoming engulfed in bursts of light.


(Morph sequence)

Sora's body was covered in a white suit, then he moved both of his arms down to his side as the Dino Thunder symbol suddenly appeared on his chest. He then jumps into the air to do a backflip while red pieces of the Dino Thunder suit were forming onto him from neck to toe before he lands back on the ground as it cracks with lava coming out, while he landed with his legs apart and holding his arms like muscles.

(Morphing Sequence End)


"Tyranno Power!" Sora called out and struck a pose. He wore a red suit that had white diamonds across the sleeves on his arms and legs with his Morpher attached to his left wrist. His boots and gloves were cuffed in gold with a blaster hanging on the right side of his belt. The chest insignia was the foot of a reptilian creature with three toes and a spur in the back.

"Brachio Power!" Reina called out with a pose. Her suit was primarily black with gold diamonds on her arms and legs. She also had a skirt that had gold diamonds on each side. She has gold diamond shoulder guards, a belt, wristbands, and a gold dinosaur footprint logo on her chest.

She also had three on either side of a chest shield she had, a white skirt, a golden belt with a small sword/dagger weapon, shaped like a feather, a black neckpiece, and a point on top of her helmet. Her visor however was bright red like a mouth, the top half being a lot wider than the bottom, with jaws in the corner. "Dino Thunder, White Ranger!"

They all stomped their left feet on the ground while holding their arms out, their right upwards, their left sideways, as an explosion went off behind them

They all stomped their left feet on the ground while holding their arms out, their right upwards, their left sideways, as an explosion went off behind them.

"Dino Thunder!" They all shouted as five smoke clouds erupted in their respective colors behind them, before a second explosion got mixed with the colorful smoke, leaving everyone watching this stunned in amazement and awe.


"You guys..." Izuku said, as he watched the Rangers prepare to face the villain again. There was no need for word exchange between them because they all worked so in sync with each other. Though, he narrowed his eyes in thought for a moment as a crazy idea came into his mind.

"Iida! Mineta! Uraraka! Asu--I mean Tsu!" Izuku said getting their attention, "I have an idea! Will you all listen?" They looked to one another before they nodded their heads to him.

"Right then." The villain said, cracking his neck. "Let's put an end to this, shall we?"

"Get ready!" Sora told his team.

"Uraraka!" Izuku yelled as he ran to Ochaco.

"Here goes!" Ochaco said, just as their hands touched, her Quirk activated and he began to float.

"Asui!" Izuku yelled.

"I told you to call me Tsu!" Tsuyu whips her tongue forward and wraps it around Izuku's body, before lashing him forward at the villain.

"Goodbye, Heroes." The villain said. "It's been fu-WHAT?!"

Izuku suddenly flew only inches off the ground towards the Large Villain; using one of Mineta's purple balls, he attached it onto Todoroki's back just as Ochaco deactivated her Quirk, pulling him out of his grasp with ease, surprising the Villain and even the Rangers.

"What!?" Reina and Kiba gaped in shock.

"Izuku!?" Ayumi and Cyrus said in surprise.

"No way." Was all Sora could say.

Placing Todoroki down, Izuku then started to activate his Quirk as he aimed for the villain, red veins protruded from his pointer finger.

"Here goes! SMASH!" Izuku yelled just as he flicked his finger at the villain so hard that it emitted a large gust of wind that caught everyone in it.

The force of pressure then slammed into villain, though all of the students had been surprised when they saw that he hadn't been moving an inch as he used his arms to protect his face.

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? HE'S NOT MOVING!?"

"We need to get his guard down!" Sora said as he, Cyrus, and Kiba brought their Dino Morphers close to their faces. "Raptor Riders!" They shouted into their Morphers.

Then suddenly, three portal appeared a few feet behind the trio and then three mechanical, two-legged reptilians of red, blue, and yellow, called the Raptor Riders ran out of the portals roaring.

"What?!" Izuku cried out in surprise to see real-life dinosaurs.

Everyone including Aizawa and Thirteen had their eyes completely widened as they weren't expecting to see dinosaurs coming out of a portal.

"Are those...dinosaurs?!" Momo asked as she was greatly shocked by this.

"No way!" Mostly everyone in the room cried out in shock.

"But that's impossible!" Jiro had the same reaction as well.

"They can't do that... That's just not right..." Mineta was unable to process this.

"I think they're called Velociraptors..." Iida remarked as he looked at the creatures with widened eyes.

"But how is that even possible? Dinosaurs are extinct." Tsuyu asked in curiosity.

Reina and Ayumi just smiled at their leader's quick thinking.

As the Raptor Riders ran closer to the Rangers, Sora pointed at the villain.

"Hold him in place!" He shouted as the raptor began to run straight at the metal villain.

"Power Ranger technology truly is something else." Tokoyami thought in amazement as he couldn't get over the things the Rangers were capable of.

They watched as the three prehistoric creatures jumped on the villain, shocking him greatly. The yellow and blue raptor bit down on his arms as the red one jumped on his back.

"What the...!?" He exclaimed in shock.

"There's our chance!" Sora shouted. "Let's finish this!"

"Right!" The Rangers all nodded together as their weapons came out of their belts and hovered in front of them.

"Tyranno Staff!" Sora said, taking it, with the one end being a headpiece, the other being a tail.

"Tricera Sheild!" Cyrus said, holding it.

"Ptera Grips!" Kiba shouted while holding up both weapons in his hands.

"Brachio Staff!" Reina shouted while pulling her staff out and holding it up crossed over her forearms.

"Drago Sword!" Ayumi called out twirling her weapon around.

"Weapons Combine!"

Kiba put his Ptera Grips on either side on the lower half of the Tricera Shield, while Sora extended his Tyranno Staff, so the tail end went beneath the shield, and the head end went onto the top. Reina placed the Brachio Staff on the front with Ayumi's Drago Sword going on top of Reina's staff, forming the Z-Rex Blaster.

"Z-Rex Blaster, Super Mode!" They shouted.

Sora aimed it as Reina and Ayumi crouched down and held it up, with Kiba and Cyrus touching Sora's shoulders.

The metal villain managed to toss the Raptors off of him just as the Rangers prepared their attack.

"Ready, fire!" They shouted as they fired a bright orange beam of energy from the weapon and blazed toward the villain, hitting him right in the stomach, sending him flying. He flew towards a broken wall, where the purple balls from Mineta's Quirk had been, and he fell on his side, with his back to them.

Class 1-A had won.

"Yeah!" Kiba whooped as the team took back their weaoons and demorphed. "Rangers 1, Metalhead 0."

"Up top!" Reina said, holding her hand out to Ayumi.

"Whoo hoo!" The pinkette cheered, highfiving her friend.

"Alright!" Cyrus whooped.

"And the crowd goes wild!" Sora joked.

"We did it!" Mineta cheered erratically. "The plan worked perfectly! We won!"

Iida's smile broadened. "Indeed! He was so focused on the Rangers that he left himself wide open for incoming attack! Just as you planned Midoriya!"

The perplexed broccoli stared on, cradling his broken finger, before a soft smile curled upon his lips. "That's good." He sighed in relief.

"Deku!" Ochaco and Tsuyu ran towards him as they beamed. "We did it!"

Izuku smiles, "Thanks. It was all thanks to all of you and..." All of their gazes turned towards the Power Rangers, who demorphed and started cheering and high-fiving each other. "It's also thanks to the Power Rangers and their teamwork." He couldn't but think to himself, 'They're really are amazing...'

The villain was struggling a bit before finally stopping himself from resisting with the Raptor Riders growling as they lowered their heads to his level.

"Thanks, Red Raptor." Sora said to his dinosaur as they walked over.

"Yeah, you guys were awesome!" Kiba added in agreement.

The three Raptor Riders roared out loud as it accepted the thanks before disappearing in a flash of light.

"What happened to them?" Sero asked in curiosity.

"They just returned back home." Ayumi said to him, before she joined the others. 

"So..." Cyrus began, getting everyone's attention as he gestured to the trapped villain. "I guess now would be a good time to see who was behind the attack?"

Kiba enthusiastically raised his hand. "Oh, I call dibs on unmasking the villain!" He exclaimed loudly.

The other Rangers looked at each other doing before shrugging their shoulders. "Knock yourself out." Sora told him.

"Yes!" Kiba pumped his fist before walking towards the trapped villain with his hands behind his back, acting all professional-like.

The villain struggled to get out of the trap, to no avail. "I can't move!" He said, just as Kiba reached his side.

"Alright, let's see who you really are." The yellow Ranger declared as he reached for the helmet, causing the villain to panic.

"Now hang on! Wait!" The villain said, "I'm--I'm--I'm--!" Just then, the villain's helmet came off of his face, revealing that it had been--

"I AM HERE!"

"ALL MIGHT!? Everyone shouted out of shock and surprise.

All Might laughed loudly as all the students started to gather around him. "I wanted to surprise all of you as a villain at the end, since the other day happened. But as expected you all did a great job! I would've expected nothing less from the hero cou--Eh?"

It was only then All Might realized that all the students were having a look to kill on their faces at All Might, as they stood there silently. In the forefront, Sora, Reina, Cyrus and Ayumi stood over the hero with shadows over their faces.

All Might laughed nervously as he said, "Power Rangers....I know this was really intense but.."

Sora lifted his head to reveal a dark gaze, his lips in a thin line. "Dick move, man. Dick move."

"Maybe we didn't hit him hard enough with that blast." Reina stated coldy, cracking her fingers one by one with a dead look in her eyes. "Should we try again?"

"I think that would be too merciful right now..." Cyrus replied lowly, pushing up his glasses as the light hid his eyes.

"I'm sorry, All Might..." Said hero jumped in terror at Ayumi, who now held a cold look on her beautiful face, compared to the warm smile she usually had. "But you brought this upon yourself."

"Hey, Big Guy..." The hero whipped his head over to Kiba, only for his heart to drop the blond gave a frim salute and a smile. "I will tell the children of the future of your sacrifice."

"W-Wait! Let's talk about this, okay? I'm sorry...wait!"

YOU WENT OVERBOARD, YOU MORON! " The Rangers had yelled; they started to beat up All Might, with Kirishima, Sero, and Kaminari all joining in.

Thirteen let out a sigh, "Well Aizawa, it's like what you predicted, it did not end well."

"It can't be helped." the mummified teacher muttered, recalling the conversation he and All Might had, when he visited the hospital. He told Aizawa about the plan he had in mind. He tried to tell him otherwise, but the Pro wouldn't listen.

"Don't worry, I believe in their strength." All Might said, giving the man a thumbs up. "Plus, this time...They have the greatest allies with attitude by their side!"

Aizawa immediately knew he was referring to the Power Rangers.

Thirteen watched the students talk before she turned to Aizawa, who merely watched on in silence. "So, they were the kids from the news, huh? I must say, they're an interesting bunch. And they work so well together."

"Yeah..." Aizawa hummed as he stared down at the Rangers. 'Which is something I should talk to Nezu about.'

They turned and saw Todoroki standing, not unconscious, but just looking fine as if nothing had been wrong.

"TODOROKI!? " Izuku exclaimed, "YOU WEREN'T KNOCKED OUT!?"

"Wait--!" Kiba said, "You were in on the surprise too!?"

Todoroki pursed his lips slightly, recalling how All Might revealed himself and asked for his help. "I didn't mean to worry anyone." Todoroki said, though he didn't look apologetic at all. He cast a glance over at the Rangers as they talked amongst everyone. 'They "defeated" All Might?'  Todoroki thought as his left hand balls up in frustration.. 'I have to get stronger, so I can beat them all myself.'

Bakugo meanwhile, remained where he crashed as he watched the scene with shocked eyes.

"All Might was the "Villain"... and he was "stopped" by Deku and those quirkless spandex losers?!" He gritted his teeth in anger. He couldn't even so much as hurt him, but some goddamn quirkless failures and that damn nerd managed to do more. Now all the attention was on them. Everyone was seeing them as strong heroes, especially those extras. They were just goddamn useless quirkless pebbles with some fancy ass suits!

The anger and humiliation of being upstaged by them was shown on Bakugo's face, and he slammed his fist on the ground. "Fuck!" He growled and clenched his fist. "This sucks! This sucks! This goddamn suuccckkkks! I'm supposed to be the strongest there is, and yet THEY took away my victory!" Bakugo thought becoming more angry by the second, as he sent a death glare in the Rangers' direction, continuing his train of thoughts. "I won't let you upstage me again! I won't let you get away with this! I will become the number one hero someday! And I'll crush you like the quirkless insects you are!" Bakugo vowed to himself.

To Be Continued...

Earth - U.A High School

After the rescue class, the time for lunch had finally come as Class 1-A's minds were on the Sports Festival

"That villain stuff sucked, sure, but I'm pumped for these games!" Kirishima shouted with a big grin on his face. He was standing at the back of the room with Sato, Tokoyami, and Sero.

"We put on a good show, and we're basically on the road to bein' pros!" Sero exclaimed, jokingly nudging the redhead in the arm.

Sato grinned and punched his palm. "Yeah, this is why I'm even here in the first place!"

"We get so few chances." Tokoyami said, as he was sitting upon the cabinets against the wall. "We have to make the most of this."

"Wow, they're really getting excited about this, huh?" Ayumi asked as she and the other Rangers stood around Sora's desk, watching their classmates ooze with excitement.

Hagakure stood before Ojiro. "Oh man, I'm really nervous, Ojiro! I need to stand out at the Sports Festival!" She exclaimed and started to do this dance of excitement.

"But the Pros might not notice you unless you try really hard..." Ojiro said with a sweatdrop.

"Oh my, what's a boy to do? I stand out just by standing still, so the scouts won't be about to take their eyes off me!" Aoyama said, doing various poses before pointing to Koda. The timid boy started to get nervous and flailed his arms around. Aoyama then got closer to Koda's face with sparkles around his head. "Don't you agree?"

Koda frantically nodded his head.

Kaminari sighed as he was in a small group with Momo, Jiro, and Shoji. "You're so lucky, Shoji." He whined to the muscular boy. "People are bound to notice your unique Quirk."

"Sure, but what matters is that I show them how useful I can be." Shoji replied nonchalantly.

Jiro held in her giggles when she remembered how the blonde boy short-circuited his own brain and turned himself dumb for one hour. "No doubt you'll make a scene, too." She pointed out, which made Kaminari growl at her.

"These guys have gone completely bonkers for this thing..." Reina mumbled, resting a hand on her hip.

"I don't know. I mean it's a pretty important event and I guess they just want to test their skills." Cyrus added in.

"Can't say I blame them." Kiba said, with his arms behind his head. "I'm pretty excited myself."

"Yeah..." Sora said as he watched everyone converse with one another.

Soon a pair of footsteps caught his ears as he turned to see Izuku approaching his group of friends, looking at the students talking about the Sports Festival.

"Everyone is so into it." Izuku commented in awe.

"You're not?" Ayumi asked, tilting her head at the green-haired boy.

"There is nothing odd about it at all!" Tenya stated, before getting up from his seat. "We enrolled at this school with the sole aim to become Heroes." He then started to do this really weird and funny looking dance. "So naturally, we're all getting fired up."

"Wow, Iida." Tsuyu said as she and Mina stared at the Class Secretary. "Those are some very interesting moves you've got."

Tenya slides over to Izuku. "You have to be excited too, right Midoriya?"

"Well, yeah! Of coure I am!" Izuku quickly replied. "And also..."

"Nervous?" Reina finished for him.

"Well, I can't say I blame the guy." Sora said as he stood up from his desk. "I remember participating in my first martial arts tournament and being nervous myself."

"He's right, we all have things we're nervous about," Cyrus said, walking up to the teen. "I mean, thinking about it even more...this is probably going to be the first time in history where a group of Quirkless people like us are taking part in a Quirk event."

Everyone perked up at this and turned their attention to the Rangers.

"In that case, let's give everyone something they'll never forget." Sora said with a determined grin.

"Hey guys..." The group looked behind towards the source of the voice, only to be startled at the sight of Ochaco grinning a bloodthirsty smile with eyes burning with determination and an intense purple aura surrounding her. "Let's do our best at the Sports Festival!"

"Whoa!" Sora and Cyrus leapt back from the look.

"WHAT THE HELL!?" Reina exclaimed as she nearly jumped from her spot.

"O-Ochaco, are you okay?" Ayumi asked with a shocked look.

"Uh, U-Uraraka? What's gotten into you?" Izuku asked, a little frightened by her change in character.

"Why do you look scary!?" Kiba exclaimed. "Aren't you supposed to be the cute one!?"

Mina too was bewildered by Ochaco's sudden personality turn over. "Seriously, what's up? You're like the most laid-back girl ever." She added.

Mineta heard that and his perverted mind made him blush. "Laid-bac-"

Tsuyu slammed him across the face with her tongue and Reina kicked him in the face, knocking him to the ground.

"Shut it, trash." She venomously spoke.

Ochaco spread her feet out, crouching down slightly and raised her fist high in the air. "EVERYONE, I'M GONNA DO MY BEST!" She yelled with eyes glowing white and her hair shadowing the upper part of her face.

"Y-Yeah!" Sora and the others sweat-dropped, bringing up a fist and half-heartedly cheering so they wouldn't piss her off any further.

Ochaco then turned around towards her other classmates and did the same thing. "I SAID I'M GONNA DO MY BEST!" They all raised up their fists with sweat drops.

"G-Got it."

"Are you sure you're okay? You kinda look like you're losing it." Sero mumbled.

"She's really pumped up..." Ayumi commented as she watched the brunette.

"Maybe she wants to prove her worth like everyone else." Cyrus said.

Hearing this, Izuku slowly lowered his fist as he stared at Ochaco. 'Now that I think about it...I never asked her why she wanted to be a Hero.'


U.A - Hallway

"Huh?! You want to be a Hero for the money?!" Izuku and Kiba stopped to ask in shock.

Their group of friends were in the hallway walking towards the cafeteria for lunch when he asked the girl her reason for wanting to be a Pro Hero. The answer she gave them was unexpected

Instead, her answer was that her goal was to get rich.

With a slight tint of red, Ochaco scratched the back of her head in embarrassment and avoided eye contact with the others. "Well, if you want to boil it down simply, then yes." She answered, before holding her face with her hands to try and cover the blushing. "Sorry, it's such an unwholesome reason. You all have such admirable motivations, it's embarrassing."

"Not at all." Iida said before thrashing his arms robotically while continuing to speak. "Having a goal to support your livelihood is very admirable."

Sora looked deadpanning at his tall friend. "You can't control your body, can you?" He said before turning back to Ochaco. "In a way, I guess I can understand that."

"Right." Izuku nodded in agreement. "But it's unexpected."

"So, is that the only reason why you wanted to be a Hero?" Cyrus asked, figuring that there was more to it than she was letting on.

"Yeah, I'm sure you have a good reason for it, right?" Ayumi smiles at the brunette kindly, "Knowing you, I'm sure it's admirable."

"Thanks, you guys..." Ochaco said, knowing that it was best to tell them. With a sigh, she started, "Well, my family owns a construction company, but we haven't gotten any work at all, so we're flat broke. This really isn't something I tell other people..."

"I see..." Reina pursed her lips.

Sora, Izuku, Cyrus, and Iida placed their hands on their chin and started to think for a moment. "Construction..." They murmured.

"That's a new one." Kiba commented.

Izuku soon realized something before he said, "With her Quirk, if she gets a Hero license then it would bring costs way down, right?"

"With her Quirk, it can come in handy when it comes to construction." Cyrus added.

"You have a point." Tenya said, holding up a finger. "With her help, they could sell their heavy-lifting equipment."

"Right!" Sora nodded in agreement. "That would make the progress go smoother and faster."

Ochaco turned around and pointed at her friends. "I know, right!? That's what I've been telling my Dad ever since I was a kid!" She exclaimed, jumping on her toes. Her bubbly personality deflated and she looked sad. "But..."

"But, he told you otherwise?" Reina asked.

"Yes and no." Ochaco replied, "He told me that he'd rather see me achieve my dream, and well... He also said he'd rather go on a vacation with me and mom. That's why..." Ochaco said as she clenched her fist deep into the folds of her skirt as she shot them a confident look. "... I'll definitely become a Hero and make money, and let my parents take it easy." Everyone in the group had been moved by this kind of motivation as they looked at Ochaco with awe.

All of them stared at her for a few tense seconds, only for Kiba and Tenya to break into clapping simultaneously.

"Bravo! Bravvvooo!" The latter exclaimed loudly.

"BEST MOTIVATION EVER!" Kiba yelled as he was in tears.

"Aww, you're so sweet, Ochaco!" Ayumi said as she grabbed the girl's hands and shook them up and down, chibi-style.

"Wow..." Sora said, taken back by the girl's resolve.

"Yeah." Cyrus breathed out.

"I guess that proves even more that not everyone with a Quirk is selfish and only cares about fame." Reina said, folding her arms under her chest.

"What about you all?" Izuku asked as he looked towards the Rangers. "I mean, why did you all wanna become Heroes?"

"Us?" Ayumi blinked as the Rangers exchanged looks with each other.

"Well, as you guys already know..." Cyrus spoke, rubbing his head sheepishly. "We're all Quirkless and we've had to face a lot of discrimination for most of our lives. Such as being subjected to mockery and prejudice."

"So, in all honesty...we had NO intention of being heroes at all." Reina added with a hint of bitterness.

Ayumi ran her fingers over her Morpher. "But, that all changed when we were chosen to be Power Rangers and be a part of something bigger."

"Yeah, I mean..." Kiba steps forward and gestures his arms around the school's hallway, "Sometimes, I still think this a dream! I always wanted to be a hero, but with...you know, I thought it wasn't possible. But, hey! Here I am, alongside my friends side aiming to be a hero!"

"Long story short," Sora's words caught Tenya, Izuku, and Ochaco's attention. "Either to save lives, protect our loved ones, or change the world for the better...We have all sorts of reasons. But there is one goal we all share, together..."

The Rangers stood side by side before the trio, Morphers held up to their chests. "We plan on becoming the first ever Quirkless team of heroes and show the world that even quirkless guys like us can be heroes."

The trio were now in silence after that. Their goal was a noble one, and they all have worked together for who knows how long. The friendship between them was also quite admirable.

However, their moment was ruined instantly when All Might rounded the corner out of nowhere, scaring half of them to death. His permanent grin was directed at Izuku and the Rangers, "Young Midoriya and the Power Rangers...are here!"

"All Might?" Sora blinked as everyone had been of course shocked to see him, especially Izuku.

"Is something the matter?" The greenette then asked.

"Lunch!" All Might said before he showed his bento box to them. "Want to eat with me?"

Ayumi, Ochaco and Kiba couldn't help but stifle a laugh at this. "HE'S LIKE A MAIDEN! " The three of them thought in unison.

"So how about it?" The Hero asked again.

"Sure!" Izuku said, looking back at the group. "Is that okay with you guys?"

"Lunch with the Symbol of Peace, how can anyone say no?" Cyrus said as he stood up taking his bento lunch.

"Sure, go ahead!" Sora replied with a nod.

"Let's go, shall we?" Tenya glanced at the others, who nodded at him. But before they could move, All Might spoke up again.

"Actually, Young Ukashi..." All Might spoke up. "The Principal wanted to pass on a message that he would like you and your team to have lunch with him."

Hearing this request surprised Izuku, Iida, Ochaco, and even the Rangers. "Huh?" Cyrus uttered out.

"He wants us to eat with him?" Ayumi asked, making sure she heard right.

'Principal Nezu?' Izuku thought in silence. 'Now that I think about it, he's been talking with them a lot lately. Could it be about their Ranger abilities...?'

"Oh, okay." Sora shrugged loosely. "I can guess we can do that."

The No.1 Hero smiled more at this. "Excellent! Please follow me!" He said, before disappearing around the corner. Izuku followed soon after.

"Huh. That happened." Reina spoke up.

"Hehe, All Might is quite the character." Ayumi giggled.

"That's the big guy for ya!" Kiba snickered as a grin grew on his face.

"Well, let's not keep the principal waiting." Sora spoke as he headed down the hallway and Izuku went in, as the others followed soon after.

Cyrus then turned to face Ochaco and Tenya. "I guess we'll see you guys later on then!" He called out before going around the corner.


U.A. - Cafeteria

"I kinda get Deku, but I wonder what Principal Nezu wanted to talk about with the Power Rangers." Ochaco said, as she and Tenya stood in line for their lunch. "He's been speaking with them a lot lately."

"Well, when the USJ was attacked by the Villains, Ukashi and his team rushed in to help, correct?" Tenya replied.

"Yeah, they were amazing!" Ochaco chirped with a bright smile.

"There were also those giant machines that they used to take down that horseman villain from before and when they appeared to fight that fire villain. Take that into account alongside their incredible teamwork, he must've taken a liking to them all. Astounding!" Ochaco nodded enthusiastically at Tenya's words.

Though as they chatted, the small group had been left unaware that Shoto had been listening as his eyes narrowed slightly. 'The Power Rangers.' He then recalled how Principal Nezu always wanted to speak with them. 'Could the Principal be in their corner?'


U.A. - Principal Nezu's Office

In the office of Principal Nezu, the Hero Force Rangers all sat together on a sofa, telling the U.A principal what happened in the Rescue Training as they ate their lunches.

"My, sounds like you all had quite the experience." Nezu said with smile, as he enjoyed the story the Rangers told them. "Not even Pros yet, but you're still accomplishing so much in only a short amount of time." He said with a proud smile.

"Thank you for such kind words, Principal Nezu." Cyrus said with a bow.

"No offense, Principal Nezu, but I'm starting to think Reina might be right about you playing favorites." Sora couldn't help but comment as he remembered what Reina said the last time they were in Nezu's office.

"Called it!" Reina smirked proudly.

 "I'm afraid I have no idea what you're talking about." Nezu joked, feigning ignorance.

"He's not wrong, sir. I mean, this is probably the second time you've called us here and I'm pretty sure our classmates are wondering about that." Ayumi agreed with Sora as she took a bite of her lunch.

"She's got a point, Nez. Think of the rumors!" Kiba dramatically shouted.

"Rumors are just rumors!" Nezu countered with a joyful expression. "Being principal isn't as busy a job as you might think, and I'd never turn away a student who wants to learn."

Katrina, who was also there, just laughed, shaking her head in amusement.

"What?" Nezu asked with a smirk. "Do I need to hand out engraved invitations or something? Principal or not, I'm still a teacher at this school."

"Man, I love this guy!" Kiba laughed as he leaned back in his seat.

"Is there something you need, Nezu?" Katrina wondered, shaking her laughter off. "I doubt you would've called the Rangers here just for chat if it wasn't important."

"Need? Not at all!" Nezu replied. "Want? Well, there's this nice little coffee shop I know that does amazing crumpets, I'd love one of them. I'd like for villains to just stop already, but that would end up with half the heroes out of work! I have many wants, but doesn't everyone?"

"I guess." Sora mused while rubbing his head.

"Now, as for right now, there is something I wanted to discuss with you all." Nezu said as he gazed at the team. "As I'm sure you all know, the Sports Festival has come around this time of year."

"Yup and everyone's going gaga about the whole thing." Reina said, as she crossed her legs.

"Well, it is a special event." Cyrus spoke up. "Students from all grades and courses have the opportunity to showcase their abilities in different competitions in order to be scouted by Pro Heroes and support agencies."

"Precisely right, Hado." Nezu nodded. "It's considered one of the biggest events in Japan. Which is why I would hate for something to happen to prevent it from happening."

"What do you mean?" Ayumi questioned.

Katrina hummed in realization. "I see. In case Alsatia tries to pull an attack on the festival,you want us to provide extra security."  She said, now catching on to Nezu's words.

"Yes. Now that we are aware of other-worldly foes that wish to bring harm to us, I want to do whatever I can to get as much help as it takes to stop them."

"Yeah, okay." Kiba spoke, raising his hand. "I hate to be a Negative Nancy, but won't that mean we're not taking part in the festival?"

"That's okay." Sora assured, getting all eyes focused on him. "Think about it, guys. We didn't come here to be in the spotlight. We came here to protect the world from Alsatia's invasion. Besides, if someone scouted us because of our skills in the Sports festival and we revealed that we had no quirks, they'd feel like they wasted their time scouting us. Plus, our powers aren't to be used for personal gain, but for the protection of others. If anything, I'm glad I'm not competing."

The other Rangers were surprised by what Sora said while Katrina and Nezu could only smile.

"I couldn't have put that better myself." The A.I. said, proud of the Red Ranger's words.

Nezu smiled proudly as well before he clapped his paws with a noise of approval. "Good! I'll be sure that your efforts are rewarded and that you're still able to watch the event. Although, I do have an idea that I'm sure you'll like."

Everyone looked at Nezu, wondering what he could be planning.

"We have several events for the Festival, including a Calvary Battle. I will like for you all to take until the end of the Cavalry Battle." Nezu said, before addressing the Red Ranger. "Sora Ukashi. Since you are the leader of the Hero Force Power Rangers, I am willing to allow you to take part in the festival. However, I have two conditions for you all."

"What are they?" Katrina asked.

"One, only morph when necessary. Two, you are not allowed to use any of the vehicles and weapons your Ranger forms possess."

This surprised the Rangers and Katrina that Kiba spoke up. "Whoa, hold up. How is that fair? How are we supposed to defend ourselves or fight back?"

"You all still have your elemental power and the past Rangers' abilities." Katrina replied. "You're just not allowed to use any equipment that may cause serious or fatal injuries to the other students. Is that okay with you, Ukashi?"

Sora thought hard about the proposal before nodding in approval. "That's fine with me."

"Just be sure to submit a permit to use your Morphers in the festival before participating." Nezu reminded Sora. "We wouldn't want a repeat of the Entrance Exam, would we?"

The Rangers looked at each other awkwardly. "Right. We'll be sure to remember that." Sora replied.

"Excellent! Now then, you all have a month before the Festival, so make sure you train hard and prepare for whatever comes your way."

"Yes sir!" The Rangers nodded in agreement.


U.A : 1-A Classroom

Before anyone knew it, it had been the end of the school day, and everyone was getting ready to go home for the day. The Rangers were all standing around Sora's desk to leave when they heard a voice call out to them.

"There's our favorite crew!" The team looked over to see Mina and Toru as they approached them, along with Kyoka, Tsuyu, Momo and Ochaco.

"Oh, hey Mina." Kiba grinned at the girl.

"Hey, Kibs."

"So, we heard the Principal wanted to talk to you guys." Jiro commented, twirling her ear plug around her finger. "What's that about?"

"Nothing serious," Sora replied waving them off. "Mostly, Ranger-related."

"Mmm." Toru hummed with a head tilt. "You know, you guys have been getting chummy with him lately. Almost like you're his favorite students or something."

"No, not at all." Cryus said. "He is just curious about the monsters that showed up is all."

Kiba nodded his head "No one has ever seen anything like it, so he had questions."

"I see." Momo nodded at their answer, seeing that it was good enough.

"Anyway, us girls are planning on going to the mall for a little shopping spree before we start on our training for the Sports Festival!" Toru told them.

"We wanted to know if Fukukado and Suzuni wanted come with us." Kyoka added in, "We can get to know each other."

"And it'll take your mind off of what happened at USJ." Toru said cheerfully. "And we can shop for cute outfits!"

Momo looked over at the boys. "You three are more than welcome to come too!"

Ayumi gave them an apologetic smile. "That sounds great, but we have somewhere to be today. Maybe next time?"

"Aww, really?" Mina groaned, disappointed that she wouldn't get to hang out with the Rangers.

Reina gave a loose shrug. "Sorry, but we can't cancel it. It's pretty important."

"Well, what about you Sora?" Toru asked the red Ranger, hoping he would come so she could get closer to him.

"Sorry, but I got a martial arts class to teach after school." Sora replied as he stood up and slipped his bag on his back.

This caught everyone's attention, especially Ojiro as they looked over at Sora. "Wait, you teach a martial class?" Ochaco asked, looking at Sora with interest.

"He sure does!" Cyrus confirmed. "He's even taught us a few things."

"Bro's one of the best martial arts I've seen by far." Kiba told them, wrapping his arm around Sora's neck.

"Whoa, seriously?" Sero uttered in amazement.

"So manly!" Kirishima said in awe.

" That's awesome, bro!" Sato complimented as Sora waves his hand at him.

"It's nothing."

"Nothing!?" Kaminari exclaimed. "Come on, dude, you're the leader of your own squad and you teach others how to fight! How is THAT nothing!?"

Sora snickered at this. "Well, you guys are more than welcome to come check out for yourselves sometime, if you want."

"Really?"

"I'm down!" Kirishima accepted with glee.

"Same here." Ojiro spoke up as he smiled at the offer. "It'll be incredible to see a fellow martial artist in action."

"Agreed." Shoji nodded.

"Well, can we at least leave campus with you guys?" Toru asked, hopefully.

"Sure, we don't mind." Ayumi said, nodding her head with a smile.

"Alright, let's roll out!" Mina cheered, throwing her fist into the air, before linking her arms around Ayumi's and Reina's. Ochaco and Toru cheering with her.

"Yeah!"

The group would have been walking forward if it wasn't for the crowd of gaping students that stood there, blocking the entrance.

"Uhh....Hello." Ayumi waved at them.

"What in the world?" Reina said surprised.

"Why the heck are you all here?" Ochako asked.

"And why are you blocking our way?" Toru asked.

"What's going on?" Cyrus asked as Tenya stepped forward.

"Do you students have some sort of business with our class?" He questioned with a karate chop gesture.

"Why are you blocking our doorway?" Mineta started. "I won't let you hold us hostage!"

"They're scouting out the competition idiots." Bakugo informed, while walking pass the girls to the crowd. "We're the class that survived a real Villain attack. They want to see us with their own eyes."

"I just hope he doesn't scold anybody." Izuku said.

Bakugo was now right in front of the crowd. "At least now you know what a future pro looks like." He scolded the crowd. "Now move it, extras."

That felt like a jinx and a half. Then again, what else would you expect from someone like Bakugo. Iida did not like that comment, and voiced his dislike of the ash-blonde's choice of words. "You can't go around calling people extras just because you don't know who they are!"

"Oh, get off your damn high horse!" Reina added with a snort.

Then a new voice spoke up. "So this is class 1-A." The person who spoke, slowly moved himself to the front of the crowd and made himself visible to the class. "I heard you guys were impressive, but you just sound like an ass. Is everyone in the Hero course delusional or just you?"

The classmates behind Bakugo were all shaking their heads in denial, trying to not get bled on, while said boy just stood there and raised his chin, looking down on the boy who just insulted him.

"How sad to come here and find a bunch of egomaniacs." The boy continued as he rubbed the back of his head. He a teenage boy around the same age as them, having messing indigo hair that mostly sticking out, and he had eyes that were of purple, and it looked as though he had bags under his eyes. This was Hitoshi Shinso.

Reina let out a scoff as she pointed to the explosive teen. "Nope, just this guy! Though I don't think 'disillusioned' is the proper term for him. I think 'one-tracked' is more accurate!"

"Screw you, Highlights!" Bakugo roared to the green-haired girl.

"Sorry, you're not my type." Reina smirked, causing her friends to stifle a laugh.

"Burned..." Kiba muttered lowly.

"Perhaps you're right," The purple-haired teen suggested, gaining the group's attention. But it won't matter in the end. Here's the thing, I've come with a mission in mind. I wanted to be in the Hero course, but like many others here, I was forced to choose a different track. Such is life. I didn't cut it the first time around, but I have another chance. If any of us do well in the sports festival, the teachers can decide to transfer us into the Hero course, and they'll have to transfer people out to make room."

That caused most of the class to tense up a bit. Could this mean anyone who fails from the Hero Course in the tournament, could be transferred out? The boy looks throughout the class of students while continuing to talk.

"Scouting the competition?" Shinso remarked. "Maybe some of my peers are, but I'm here to let you know that if you don't bring your very best, I'll steal your spot right from under you. Consider this a declaration of war."

'Where did this guy come from?' Class 1-! thought while both the boy and Bakugo continue to stare down one another.

Sora then got up from his seat. He began walking towards the crowd, but then another voice shouted out from the masses and was a bit aggressive. "Hey you!" The guy said. "I'm from class 1-B next door to you! We heard you fought some Villains and I came to see if that was true! But you're just a bunch of brats! You think you're better than us! Talk all you want! It'll be just more embarrassing for you when you get K-!"

[Silence]

Katsuki was about to walk away, but Sora got in front of the crowd, letting himself be the center of attention now. He wasn't doing this for Bakugo's sake, but for the rest of the class. He looked at the crowd and got his thoughts together. He needed to say this right, or else he would make things worse.

"What? Gonna try and defend your friend you little punk!?" The 1-B student yelled out.

"I don't need your help, Spandex!" Bakugo snarled at the Ranger.

"Good to know." Sora looked back at the ash-blonde and then spoke to the crowd. "Sorry about him. He's the 'bad boy' of the class." That comment made his friends snicker as the 'bad boy' then pushed himself past Sora, through the crowd and out of the hall, somehow being cool enough for the other classmates to acknowledge that. The crowd kept their attention to Sora though.

"Crap, now Sora's gonna take the brunt of Kacchan's actions." Izuku said, planning to move to where his friend was, only to see Cyrus and Kiba stick their hands out, stopping him, knowing that their friend had this under control. Hopefully.

Sora looked at the purple-haired boy and spoke to him first. "So if you don't mind me asking, what's the name of the person making this declaration?"

"Shinso...Shinso Hitoshi," The purple-haired teen responded. "And you are...?"

"Sora. Sora Ukashi." The Red Ranger replied, getting shocked looks from the crowd.

"That's him!"

"Yeah, the guy who apparently beat All Might's record in the entrance exam!"

"He was also on the news last year!"

"No way..."

"He doen't look so tough!"

"I don't know, he looks pretty cute."

Ayumi and Toru pouted at the last comment as Shinso looked on at Sora.

"So, you're of those 'Power Rangers' guys that everyone's been talking about lately," He remarked.

"All good things, I hope." Sora said, half-jokingly.

"Mostly that you're pretty strong. So that makes you one of my main targets." Shinso told him. "Do you accept the challenge despite that?"

"H-Hey, wait a minute" Kirishima walked up. "Ain't that-"

"You came all this way to make your point." Sora spoke to the purple haired guy. "I can see that you're someone who's working hard to become a Hero, even after you missed your first chance. I respect people who work hard to achieve their dreams." He smiled and extended his hand forward. "Which is why... I don't want any bad blood between us."

The purple haired guy looked at Sora's hand, then back to Sora. His expression shifted slightly, to a very small bit of confusion, but it wasn't noticeable. "I declare war on your class and you're trying to make peace?" The kid inferred.

"No." Sora corrected. "Don't get me wrong, I'll accept your declaration. But, I'm acknowledging that there are others who want to join the Hero course, and I'm offering them my morale support." He kept his hand out and waited for what happens next.

The purple haired guy decided to indulge Sora and grasped the red Ranger's hand, shaking it but not returning the smile.

Sora then said one last thing. "To you, and to the rest of you guys that are working to be Heroes, I hope you make it in, but not as replacements. Rather, as welcomed additions."

That comment made the crowd look at Sora in a whole different light. Unlike that Bakugo kid, this guy was much more supportive and seemed to welcome the thought of more people coming into the Hero course. That plus the information that he was an extra student, ended up making the crowd look determined not to replace the class, but to join them instead. The group cleared a path for Sora and he looked back at the class.

"Come on, guys." The Red Ranger gestured, as he and the rest of the class started walking through the path cleared by the crowd.

That small speech didn't get rid of all the bad blood, but it definitely boiled down a bunch of it. Thanks to Sora, the target on the 1-A student's backs are nowhere near as large as Bakugo's. Kirishima ended up getting right next to Sora and wrapped his arm on his friend's shoulders.

"Not only was that speech manly, but the way you exited was even more manly than Bakugo's exit from earlier." Kirishima complimented.

You really saved our skins there Sora." Kaminari commented.

"Yeah." Sero agreed. "Thanks for the save man."

"Hey, I'll always help my friends out." Sora remarked.

"That's our fearless leader!" Kiba laughed.

"I'm just glad that you were able to get rid of that." Izuku added.

"I didn't get rid of the targets on our backs." Sora explained, making the everyone look a bit concerned. "I just made them much smaller."

"What do you mean by that?" Ochaco asked. "The other students seemed pretty happy when you said all that stuff. Why would they still be gunning for us?"

"The Sports Festival." Cyrus reminded them. "Everyone's competing for the top spot. So everyone's got a target on them."

"Exactly." Sora replied. "I just made our targets much smaller, by making sure that not everyone hated us before the event began."

"That still makes me a bit nervous." Izuku said. "I mean, everyone's watching and I still don't know how to control my Quirk."

"Come on, Greenbean." Reina said, ruffling his hair. "I see two things that are good for you here. First off, someone who has a similar Quirk could recommend you to them and help you figure it out. And secondly, this is your chance to shine and show the world how hard you worked to get here."

"Yeah." Ayumi agreed with raised fist. "Don't waste time on the negative on things."

"Fukukado...Suzuni..." Izuku replied. He couldn't say anything else. At this point, Izuku should have been used to the Rangers' positivity, but no matter how many times it happens, he's always surprised with how kind his friends were.

"I agree." Iida added. "All of their points are valid and can be applied to every one of us. It's always a surprise to see your expertise on these situations exceed my own expectations."

Little did anyone know, Todoroki was exiting from the classroom to head home, only to look back at Sora before continuing on his way.

To Be Continued...

Notes:

And the chapter is done.

First, let me explain a few things. The reason I'm not having the rangers partake in the Battle half of the festival as Sora said, they came to UA to complete their mission of protecting the world from Alsatia in their quest for conquest. Also, the idea of taking part in the Sports Festival with the hopes of getting scouted goes against the rule of using their powers for personal gain. This was a VERY hard choice to make, which is why I decided to have Reina, Cyrus, Kiba, and Ayumi join the festival, until the Calvary Battle ends.

Thank you very much for reading. "Power Rangers: Heroes Force" will return. Please be sure to favorite and follow if you like the story, and also review it. If you have any questions or discussions you'd have for me, then please in a review or a PM my profile.

Thank you for reading, may God bless you, and have a wonderful day.

Chapter Text

 


Earth - Youth Center

 The Rangers thought today was going to be like every other day when they stepped into the Youth Center, but boy were they wrong when they were suddenly met by a large crowd of people surrounding them.

Even since the Rangers' identities were revealed on the news, the young heroes became more famous than their debut. The same crowd of people surrounding them were now asking them for their autographs, phone numbers, and even asking them questions.

It was so overwhelming to the Rangers that Maddie, the Youth Center's owner and the Rangers' ally, stepped in and told everyone to give the Rangers some space or they won't get any smoothies.

Hearing that made everyone back off from the Rangers and return to what they were doing before. After finally getting some room to breathe, the young heroes thanked Maddie for getting them out of that predicament before doing what they came to do in the Youth Center.

A few minutes after that surprising moment, Ayumi, Cyrus, and Kiba were now sitting down to watch Sora teach his karate class, which consisted of 20 members, young and old. Reina, on the other hand, was standing up to observe the class members.

Ayumi, Cyrus, and Kiba sat down to see Sora teach his karate class, which had included 20 members, young and old. Reina watched while standing up to observe the class members.

Sora lowered his right arm while holding his left out as the class followed. "And one, two, block three, punch four, and continue." He instructed, doing a block move, then a punch move.

The class all obeyed, before turning around. They all then did a punch move, then a block move, then another punch move, then pulled their hands back, putting their left fists on the palms on their right hands. They held their left up in a block move, but a kid  of 12 years was struggling, which Sora seemed to notice as he came to help him.

"Par off." He said as the class all lowered their arms to relax. 

The class all lowered their arms to relax, as Sora approached the kid.

"Hey, little man. Try this." he said.

He held his left fist up, and his right by his hip, then the boy began to copy him. They did a punch move, then pulled their hands back, their left fits on their right palms, then and upper block move, then Sora stood on one foot while twirling around.

"I'm just not good at this." The boy sighed, giving up.

"No worries. I mean, even I was a beginner once." Sora said, trying to cheer him up.

"What a cool guy!' Kiba commented at Sora helping the kid.

"Yea..." Ayumi sighed as she gazed toward Sora sweetly.

Reina saw the look the Pink Ranger was sending to their friend, before a teasing smile grew on her face. "See anything you like?" She jokingly asked. 

"Ye-wai what!?" Ayumi exclaimed, cutting herself off as she spun her head around to look at Reina, her cheeks now on fire. "W-What are you talking about!?"

"Don't pretend I didn't see the look you were giving Sora." Reina said, folding her arms.

Almost immediately, Ayumi's face heated up as they could see her head started to steam. She couldn't even mutter a single sentence as she started to sweat. Kiba and Cyrus merely watched  on in silence. 

"S-S-S-Say what!" She stammered, "I don't, like-like Sora! Who said that?! I didn't not me! Nope!"

"Ayu" Reina deadpanned, "I've been with you for-YEARS! Never have I ever seen you once take an interest in ANY other guy in school, besides Sora! You're SERIOUSLY devoted to him!"

Ayumi soon started to stutter nervously as she said to Reina, "I-Is it THAT obvious?"

Reina nodded, along with Cyrus and Kiba, causing Ayumi to hide her face in her hands. 

 "We're sorry we didn't tell you sooner," Cyrus apologized. "We just didn't want to make things more complicated between you and Sora. Every so often when we were together, you would display...moments of affection for him, even if it was unconsciously."

Kiba nodded.  "Yeah. I think the only person in the group that doesn't know is Sora himself."

Letting out a sigh, Ayumi sat up and looked over to Sora, who was currently talking with some of the members. "I don't know what do... I mean, I really wanna tell him. But with everything that's been going on lately, I feel like it would only cause him even more stress than he already has."

Reina frowned before looking over to see several girls swooning over Sora and sweatdropped. 'They don't seem too bothered by that though...' "Look, I understand what you mean Ayu, but if you leave things as they are now, he might get stolen away before you know it."

"Yeah, but..." Ayumi mumbled, but she knew Reina was right. "Okay, I've made up my mind!" With that said, the Pink Ranger stood up and started walking towards her target.

"Go get him, Yu-Yu! You have our support!" Kiba cheered with a fierce expression.

As she drew closer, Ayumi saw that Sora noticed her approaching before he turned back to the class. "Class dismissed" He said, clapping his hand

The class bowed and left, then he turned back to Ayumi. "Hey, Ayu.  What's up?"

"U-Uh, hey... umm t-the thing is-"Ayumi blushed heavily, stammering out what appeared to be an answer, before they all suddenly heard their morphers beeping.

"Hang on." Sora said, as they stopped.

They looked around and saw that there were a lot of people around.

"Let's go over there." Sora said, pointing to an empty spot.

 'Darn it!' Ayumi whinned inwardly as she followed him.

They motioned for the others to follow as they headed in the backroom and stopped by them. 

"What's up, Alpha?" Sora asked, answering his morpher.

"Rangers, Katrina needs you at the Command Chamber." Alpha explained. "It's urgent."

"We're on our way." Reina told Alpha.

Making sure that no one was watching them, they all then pressed their Morphers and then teleported away.


Command Chamber

Inside the Command Chamber, Alpha and Solon was wandering around the place panicking, walking back and forth as Solon was typing away at the computer.

"AY-Yi-Yi-Yi-Yi! The subtronic interphases are short-circuiting." Alpha exclaimed, looking at the computers. "Why is this happening?"

"I have to find a way to alternate the frequency modulators." Solon said as she was looking at different computers.

The Rangers then arrived and all walked towards them.

"Alpha, Solon. What's going on?" Cyrus asked.

"A massive surge of energy is overloading our sensors." Alpha replied. "AY-Yi-Yi-Yi-Yi!"

Katrina appeared before them in pixels. "We believe that it's coming from the Morphin Grid." She told them.

"The Morphin Grid did this?" Reina asked in awe.

"But why?" Ayumi asked.

Then out of nowhere, The Rangers' Hero Morphers began to glow.

"What the?" Everyone said in confusion.

"What's going on!?" Alpha exclaimed. "I've never seen anything like this!"

Suddenly, a portal opened up in the middle of the chamber, which shocked everyone present.

"What is that?!" Kiba was the first to ask.

"It's an Interdimensional Portal," Solon said with awe. "But why did one open up in the middle of Command Chamber?"

"It might have something to do with our Morphers glowing just a second ago." Cyrus said seeing the only reason for this to happen.

"This has to be the Morphin Grid's doing." Katrina nodded firmly. "It must've used its power to open a portal through your Morphers." She said.

"Really?" Reina asked skeptically.

"Rei, let me tell you something. The Morphin Grid works in mysterious ways, so don't ever doubt its power. If it's telling you to go through that portal then I strongly suggest you do it." Katrina said to her student.

The Rangers thought about it for a moment and knew Katrina was right. This was no time to be having doubts. 

"So, does anyone have any idea where this portal leads to?" Cyrus asked in curiosity.

"None, I'm afraid. This isn't a Ranger world and it's completely foreign to me," Solon said to them. "Wherever this portal leads to, it mostly means trouble."

"So what should we do then?" Ayumi asked.

"I think we should go through the portal to the other world," Sora said as everyone looked at him. "If the Morphin Grid did this, then there has to be a reason and it wants us to check it out." He said with seriousness.

The other Rangers couldn't help but agree with Sora on that statement.

"He's right, as Power Rangers and heroes it's our job to help people in need, regardless of what world they're in," Cyrus said with a nod.

"Agreed." Ayumi said with a determined smile. "I became a hero and Power Ranger for that same reason."

"If everyone is going, then I'll join the party too," Reina said rubbing her left shoulder with a smile.

"Road trip!" Kiba said with a thumbs up.

Katrina just smiled at her students for how far they were willing to go to help a person in trouble.

"Okay, everyone stay alert and be ready for anything that this portal sends you to. It's time to be heroes, Rangers." Katrina said to her students. "May the Power Protect you."

"Right!" They said together.

"Okay, let's go." Sora said as everyone stepped into the Interdimensional Portal one by one until it closed behind them.

Little did they know, this would be their first mission as a team in a whole new world.


Fairy Tail Universe-Year X791/Magnolia Town- Afternoon

In another world called Earth Land, the kingdom of Fiore, a small, peaceful nation of seventeen million, and a place filled with magic. Found in every home, bought and sold in the everyday marketplace, for most, magic is merely a tool, a mundane part of everyday life. For some, however, magic is an art, and have devoted their lives to its practice. These are the Wizards. Banded together into magical guilds, they apply their skills in search of fame and fortune. 

The town was named Magnolia, one of Fiore's most beautiful old towns. The town was large and renowned for having a population of 60,000 inhabitants, and was a merchant city that has been prosperous in since the ancient era. However, it housed a guild that soared high above the rest, one from which countless legends have been born. A guild that will no doubt continue to create legends well into the future.

Its name is Fairy Tail.

In the middle of the town, the people were going on about their usual lives until a portal opened up as 5 teenagers stepped out of the portal before it closed up behind them. They looked at the kids strangely for a brief moment before going back to their usual routine and just believed it was a spell by one of the guild mages and just let it be.

They took the surroundings. It looked like they ended up in Magnolia. It possessed a large built-up area, extending over a large, rectangular surface to the shores of Sciliora. Splitting the town vertically and horizontally is a series of large roads. The whole place is western in style, with its buildings being mildly reminiscent of neat Medieval ones.

"Whoa!" Kiba exclaimed in shock. "Are we in another world!?"

"So this is the world the Morphin Grid sent us?" Sora said to everyone while looking around the town.

"Seems like it. But everything looks so peaceful." Ayumi said seeing the happy looks on the people's faces.

"It looks like we're in some kind of town," Cyrus concluded with the others agreeing with him.

The Hero Force Rangers turned and noticed several objects floating in the air, as well as some people doing tricks that almost made them think they were doing magic.

"Are those their quirks!?" Kiba asked with interest.

"I don't think it's quirks since we're not in our world anymore." Reina pointed out.

"Right, I forgot." The blonde said in embarrassment as he had forgotten that they were in another world. It was then that he noticed something about their attire. "Guys, our clothes...!"

"Huh?" The Rangers all looked down at each and themselves, only to see instead of their normal clothes, they were wearing uniform robes and cloaks.

The uniforms all had belts on with the 'M' symbol, black pants and white shirts, while they also had the colors their signature looks, which were also on different places off their uniforms, from vest jackets and forearm bands, as well as different shaped markings all around them.

Ayumi had a fairy wings symbol was on her chest, right leg above the knee, and both her forearm bands.

Kiba's had a Garuda symbol was on his chest and forearm bands, and left leg. 

 Minotaur symbols was on the lower right part of Reina's jacket, forearm bands, and her left leg, while her short was short-sleeved.

Mermaid tail fin symbols was on the middle of Cyrus shirt, right leg and forearm bands.

Finally, Sora had Phoenix symbols on his chest, forearm bands, and left leg. His shirt was sleeveless like Reina's, and his jacket was buttoned up at the bottom.

"Hey." Reina said, as they looked at themselves.

"Whoa, check out the uniforms?" Ayumi said amazed.

"And cloaks!" Kiba said, as he spun around and posed. "Now I'm REALLY a hero!"

"Wait, aren't these the Mystic Force uniforms?" Sora questioned, touching the fabric of his vest jacket.

"They are." Cyrus said as he raised his hands. "But, why in the world are we wearing them?"

"Uhh, guys? What happened to my morpher?" Everyone looks over at Ayumi as she held up her hand, only to discover that she now held a Mystic Morpher. 

 Blinking from the surprise, the others notice that their Morphers were now transformed into the Mystic Morphers as well.

 "Correction: What happened to our morphers?" Cyrus asked after a moment.

 Reina held up the Morpher with a bewildered gaze. "I have... so many questions right now."

Kiba then perked up at something. "Hey, guys? You don't think the Morphin Grid also did this to our clothes and Morphers, right?" He asked.

 Sora was surprised by this development, only to be reminded about their current situtation. "Guys, I know we all have questions about what just happened, but we can discuss them after we get more information about this universe. Agreed?" He said to his team, snapping them out of their stupor.

"Right!" They nodded together.

"Before we do anything else, we need to gain some information about those universe." Ayumi suggested to everyone.

"Not a bad idea, Ayu." Sora said to her before turning to the group. "Let's split up and collect info about this world." He said before telling the groups they were in. "Ayumi and Cyrus, Reina and Kiba, and I'll check by the center of town. "

"Okay, but we should still be on alert since we're in unfamiliar territory." Reina said to them.

"Got it, we'll ask around to gather info on this world and see why we were summoned here in the first place," Cyrus said to everyone.

"It might be best for us to contact one another in the next 30 minutes to pull together our information," Ayumi suggests to everyone.

"Smart thinking," Kiba said to her.

"Okay, it's decided. Let the investigation begin and be sure to call us if something happens." Sora said to everyone. "We'll meet back up here soon."

The Rangers nodded to each other before walking away in different directions with their partners to gather information about this world.


Later...

After a few minutes of gathering information, the Rangers regrouped back together as they was now talking to one another to compare the information they gathered about this world.

They learned that this world was called Earth Land. Most of the known part of Earth Land was occupied by a very large peninsula, with some isles of different sizes being scattered in the sea surrounding it, and the peninsula itself being linked to the mainland, whose geography is mainly unknown.

The territory of this land was split into several countries: The Kingdom of Fiore being one of them.

Fiore was occupied by a smaller, secondary peninsula sprouting from the mainland, to the west. The Principality of Veronica is a small country located in the Mountains north of Fiore. The country of Seven occupied a peninsula northeast of Fiore. The country of Bosco is located east of Fiore. The Country of Iceberg is located to the east of Seven, northeast of Bosco, north of Joya, northwest of Bellum, and west of the Pergrande Kingdom. Which also expanded the boundaries of Earth Land.

But there was one thing about this world that got the Rangers' attention as it was more than just the kingdoms. It was a world of Magic, as unbelievable as that sounded.

Magic has been around for centuries in Earth Land and Fiore and is used in everyday life for various needs. And there were those who used magic in life as their occupation. They were referred to as wizards, more commonly known as Mages. The wizards belonged to various guilds and performed jobs on commission. There are a number of large guilds within the country.

The majority of the advanced technology and machinery in this world is powered by Magic, such as weapons, transportation, and everyday conventional tools, all powered by Lacrima or a Mage's own Magic as its power source. The minority of this world's technology relies on different power sources, reminiscent of the Industrial Age, such as steam locomotives and horse-drawn carriages.

"Okay, so the place that we're currently in is a town called Magnolia and this world has magic and pretty much every person can use it." Reina informed them.

"I know, there's some much to learn here! It's like our world, minus the quirks and everyone seems to have it!" Kiba said with excitement.

"Though this world doesn't seem to be technologically advanced like our world is," Sora said to everyone.

"From the looks of it, this world dates back to the 18th century of the Industrial Age." Cyrus said.

"Yeah, I noticed that too. I haven't seen a single car or TV from our world here. And Ayu saw people riding on horses and carts." Reina said.

"We asked around, and the people use these devices called Magic Items. Apparently, since Magic is stored within those items, they can be used by anyone who wields them, not just Mages." Ayumi explained to them. "So this world is only advanced in the magical arts instead of technical." 

"Seems like it, but has anyone noticed anything out of the ordinary? We were sent here for a reason, but I couldn't find anything that looked like someone in trouble." Sora asked the team.

"Nope." Cyrus answered.

"Not a single clue." Reina said.

"Nothing, sorry." Ayumi replied.

Kiba rubbed his chin. "Well, I did hear that this place is the home of a guild called 'Fairy Tail', and it's supposed to be the strongest guild in this world. Though, I'm not sure it that's helpful info."

"Fairy Tail, huh..." Sora hummed before saying something else to his team. "Okay, new plan. Let's try checking out this Fairy Tail guild. Hopefully, it'll have plenty of information for us."

"Okay!"


Meanwhile, a girl with brown eyes and shoulder length blonde hair tied in two pigtails was seen walking down a street. She wore a white and gold-trimmed top that stopped at the top half of her stomach with a blue heart in the middle, a sleeveless blue and gold-trimmed jacket, along with blue and white cuffs that ran from the middle of her biceps down to her wrists. A dark blue skirt, thigh-high socks, and a pair of brown boots. This was Lucy Heartfilia. 

She seemed down as she she let out a soft sigh. "I can't believe I didn't get any money...But I can't mope around. I'll just have to try harder next time." She declared. 

The blonde continue to her path to her apartment until she sees a woman with a yellow bird by her side. She appears to be an average height with amber-colored eyes. She has moderately brown hair which extends down her back and is normally tied up at the back while her forehead is framed by several bangs. Her outfit is reminiscent of the traditional Indian sari designed with a primarily scarlet color scheme while framed around the side with a yellow, white and orange pattern-like design and a white choli worn underneath. The woman's body was adorned with jewelry such as golden bangles worn around the wrists of both her both arms, gold brassards worn on the middle of both her upper arms as well as gold anklets worn above her ankles and brown sandals.

The woman suddenly collapsed to the ground, looking to exhausted.

"Éclair!" the bird cried. 

"Are you alright?" Lucy asked as she ran over to the pair. 

"Please help Éclair, I beg of you!" The bird pleaded with tears in his eyes. "We were attacked by a bunch scary looking monsters out of nowhere and came here for safety!"

Lucy blinked at this. "Scary monsters...?" She asked.

At that moment, a large group of humanoid creatures suddenly appeared around the trio, snarling and growling in the process. They wore brown outfits, grey boots and gloves, had a grey head with a bunch of tiny holes in, sharp teeth for mouths, and wielded black axe like swords. They were known as Hidiacs.

 They were known as Hidiacs


"It's official. We're definitely lost." Reina sighed loudly as she and the others walked along a street near a stone bridge.

"Maybe we should've asked for directions..." Cyrus muttered lowly.

"You know, in RPG fantasy games, the guild is usually in the center of the town or in the back." Kiba told them.

"Are these guilds buildings usually big or small?" Ayumi asked him, her hands behind her back.

The blonde hummed while rubbing his chin. "Hmm, depends. Sometimes, it's either or."

"He's not wrong." Sora agreed with a nod. "I've had my fair share of RPGs too."

"See? Cap gets it!"

"Honestly, I was expecting us to be in a fight the moment we stepped out of the portal." Reina said in a confessing tone.

"Same, but I don't feel anything wrong about this place," Cyrus added, only to be cut off by sounds of screaming nearby.

"Cy called it!" Kiba told them, causing the Blue Ranger to grimace.

Turning their heads in the direction of the shouting, the group noticed a number of civilians running past them in fear as they were trying to get away from something.

"Run away!"

"What are those things!?"

"I don't know, but we have to get out of here!"

"They're monsters!"

Upon hearing the word 'monsters', the Rangers flipped the switches in their mind as the five turned their attention to the situation before them with serious expressions.

"Let me guess, trouble?" Ayumi asked seriously.

"Maybe..." Reina said back before she stopped a man running past her. "Hey, what's happening?" She asked the guy.

"I-I don't k-k-know! T-These weird monsters j-j-just showed u-up out o-o-of nowhere and started attacking two women and a little bird!" The man shuddered in fear as he pointed in forward, before running away again.

"Looks like that's our cue!" Kiba told the team.

"Right!" They nodded together.

"Let's go!" Sora yelled.

The group then bolted towards the direction the man gestured to. It was time to be heroes!


Magnolia Town - Strawberry Road

The Hidiacs let out low snarls at they moved in on Lucy, the small bird creature, and the downed woman.

Lucy stood up and looked at the creatures in confusion and shock. "W-What the heck are these things?!" She exclaimed, having never seen monsters like these before.

"It's them! They're the ones who attacked us!" The bird screamed in fright before the Hidiacs moved closer. "I don't even know who they are or what they want."

The blonde quickly reached for her waist where a key ring was held. Hanging from it was a series of gold keys and silver keys. "D-Don't worry! I won't let them hurt you!" She declared with a mixture of terror and firmness in her tone. 

She was surrounded by unknown opponents and her friends weren't around right now, but she wasn't going to turn her back on people who needed help.


Unknown to them, the Power Rangers had just arrived on the scene and were watching everything transposing, as they saw the enemy surrounding someone.

Once she saw the monsters, Ayumi's eyes went wide in shock. "No way! Guys, look!" She shouted, pointing at them.

The team's eyes held disbelief. "Hidiacs!? Why are they here!?" Cyrus gaped in dibelief.

"Wait, I thought those things were destroyed by the Mystic Force years ago!" Reina said with narrowed eyes.

"Hey, looks like they got a few people surrounded over there!" Kiba told them, gesturing ahead.

"We can worry about how those Hidiacs are here, later." Sora said as he kept his eyes on the grunts. "Right now, those people need help." 

One of the Hidiacs raised its weapon up to strike Lucy, only for a red a large explosion was made which made Lucy and the yellow bird look to see some of the Hidiacs being sent flying back into the air. They were confused about this until they noticed turned and saw Sora, Reina, Cyrus, Kiba, and Ayumi walking towards the grunts side by side with all of them having serious expressions on their faces, as Sora was holding up his left hand, which was steaming, as he was the one responsible for firing a fireball before lowering it to his side. Sora were in the middle of the group with Cyrus and Ayumi on his left side, and with Cyrus and Reina on his right side.

"Have no fear..." Sora spoke again as everyone looked directly at the ones responsible for this and had surprised looks on all of their faces. "Why? Because we are here!" He finished, as he used one of All Might's famous lines to make a badass entrance.

Lucy and the small bird couldn't help but stare at the sight before them, wondering who the newcomers were.

"Who are they?" The former questioned in awe.

While this was happening, the bird's eyes widened on the group in front of him. These humans that just saved them weren't normal. He could feel some strange unknown energy surrounding all five of them.

Whatever these mysterious humans were, it certainly got his attention.

Meanwhile, the Rangers looked at Sora in absolute shock.

"Did you just use All Might's catchphrase?" Kiba asked as Cyrus looked on in shock.

"Yeah. I thought it would be a good time to use it." Sora said, proudly. "Turns out, I was right!"

"You really are a doofus." Reina commented, shaking her head while Ayumi giggled.

Sora then cleared his throat before holding up his Mystic Morpher. "Anyways, you guys ready?" 

"Yeah!" The team replied back with a nod as they did the same.

The pair that was surrounded by the grunts was watching them, as they wondered what they were going to do with the devices in their hands.

"What are those things in their hands?" Lucy asked. "Magic items?"

"I'm not sure...but I can sense strong magical power coming from it!" The bird said making the girl surprised.

"You can?" Lucy asked him.

"Yes, but there's sometimes strange about their magic." The bird said in a confused tone. "It feels foreign. Like magic, I've never felt before."

"Foreign magic...?" Lucy said as she didn't take her eyes off the Rangers, now curious to see what these newcomers could do with this foreign magic that the little bird was talking about.

[Insert Music: Power Mystic Force Theme]

"It's Morphin' Time!" The Rangers shouted together as they activated their Morphers.

'It's Morphin Time?'  Lucy thought in confusion.

As if sensing the power themselves, the Hidiacs prepared for what the Rangers might do next.

The Rangers flicked the Mystic Morpher Cell Phones open, pressing a button on the side of the Morphers to reveal a ruby tip on the phones, and then typed in the code 1-2-3. 

"Magical Source, Mystic Force!" They shouted while doing arm motions before pointing the Mystic Morphers to the sky.


(Morph sequence)

"Galwit Mysto Ranger!" A mystery voice said while a lightning bolt shot out from their Morphers, creating a spell seal above both of them.

A spirt of a Minotaur came out of Reina's, which landed behind her, as she bent down, holding her right fist up, with her left behind him, before she held both his fists up.

"Yah!" she yelled, jumping up.

She went through the spell seal, morphing into a Green Ranger suit with a matching-colored cape and shoulder pads, along with a green skirt and white leggings. The shoulder pad had two black lines line going across it and extending through the suit. Both of the lines were connected by an arrow-shaped line pointing downwards printed on the shoulder pad. There was also a golden belt buckle wrapped around the waist with the 'M' symbol. She turned left as her helmet came on, her visor was shaped to be similar to a minotaur's head. She then held her right arm up, with her left beneath her elbow, her middle fingers pressed against her palm and legs together.

A spirt of a Fairy came out of Ayumi's spell seal, which landed behind her, as she waved her arms out, before holding her left out to her left, and her right up diagonally

A spirt of a Fairy came out of Ayumi's spell seal, which landed behind her, as she waved her arms out, before holding her left out to her left, and her right up diagonally.

"Hyah!" she yelled, jumping up.

She went through the spell seal, morphing into a Pink Ranger suit with a matching-colored cape and shoulder pads, along with a pink skirt and white leggings. The shoulder pad had two black lines line going across it and extending through the suit. Both of the lines were connected by an arrow-shaped line pointing downwards printed on the shoulder pad. There was also a golden belt buckle wrapped around the waist with the 'M' symbol. She turned left as her helmet came on, her visor was shaped to be similar to butterfly wings.

 She then held her right arm up, with her left beneath her elbow, her middle fingers pressed against her palm, and kept her legs together.

A spirt of a Merman came out of Cyrus' spell seal, which landed behind him, as he widened his legs and held his arms out, bent like he was swimming.

"Yah!" He yelled, jumping up.

He went through the spell seal, morphing into a Blue Ranger with a matching-colored cape and shoulder pads. The shoulder pad had two black lines line going across it and extending through the suit. Both of the lines were connected by an arrow-shaped line pointing downwards printed on the shoulder pad. There was also a golden belt buckle wrapped around the waist with the 'M' symbol. He turned left as his helmet came on, his visor was shaped to be similar to a mermaid's tail with a crown.

He then held his right arm up, with his left beneath his elbow, his middle fingers pressed against his palm, and his legs widened.

A spirt of a Garuda came out of Kiba's spell seal, which landed behind him, as he crossed his forearms over, then held his hands out like claws, his right near his face, his left outwards

"Yah!" he yelled, jumping up.

He went through the spell seal, morphing into a Yellow Ranger suit with a matching-colored cape and shoulder pads. The shoulder pad had two black lines line going across it and extending through the suit. Both of the lines were connected by an arrow-shaped line pointing downwards printed on the shoulder pad. There was also a golden belt buckle wrapped around the waist with the 'M' symbol. He turned left as his helmet came on, his visor was shaped to be similar to a thunder bird's head.

He then held his right arm up, with his left beneath his elbow, his middle fingers pressed against his palm, and his legs widened.

Lastly, a spirt of a Phoenix came out of Sora's spell seal, which landed behind him, as he held his arms out like wings, with his legs together

"Yah!" he yelled, jumping up.

(Morph sequence ends)


After the morph was done, Lucy and the bird both stared at the group, slack-jawed and eyes widened in pure shock, as these strangers just turned into spandex superheroes from the strange devices they used.

'Was that...Requip Magic!?" The blonde thought in awe.

Reina grabs her cape with her right hand and twirls around to her left before stopping, then a green magical circle appears behind her, as the earth around her breaks apart while she is doing poses. "Strong as a Tree, Green Mystic Ranger!" She shouted while doing a pose, surrounded by a forest full of trees. 

Ayumi grabs her cape with her right hand and twirls around to her left before stopping, then a pink magical circle appears behind her, as wind currents soar passed her while she is doing poses. "Ever changing as the Wind, Pink Mystic Ranger!" She shouted while doing a pose, as leaves blew past her in the wind.

Cyrus grabs his cape with his right hand and twirls around to his left before stopping, then a blue magical circle appears behind him, as water splashed around him while he is doing poses. "Fluid as the Sea, Blue Mystic Ranger!" Cyrus shouted while doing a pose, as waves of water crashed behind him.

 Kiba grabs his cape with his right hand and twirls around to his left before stopping, then a yellow magical circle appears behind him, as lightning came out of his hands while he is doing poses. "Fast as Lightning, Yellow Mystic Ranger!" Kiba shouted while doing a pose, as lighting went off behind him.

Sora grabs his cape with his right hand and twirls around to his left before stopping, then a red magical circle appears behind him, as flames appear and move around him while he is doing poses. "Fearsome as Fire, Red Mystic Ranger!" Sora shouted while doing a pose, as a pillar of flames erupted behind him with the phoenix insignia visor on his helmet shining for a brief moment.

The Rangers then got into new poses with their team symbol shining above them. "Power Rangers Mystic Force!" The Hero Force Rangers shouted before a giant explosion occurs behind them, further increasing their awesomeness.

After the Power Rangers got done announcing themselves to everyone present, Lucy and the little bird's eyes popped out of their heads, and jaws hitting the floor in shock at the absurd sight. 

The Rangers all stood at ease and stared at the Hidiacs, who only growled at them.

"Let's go!" Sora said, holding his fist up.

"Let's do it!" Kiba said, doing the same.

"Yeah." Ayumi said, holding her right hand up like a chopper.

"Right!" Cyrus, doing the same.

"Oh, yeah." Reina said, lowering her arm.

"Mystic Force!" they shouted, launching into the fray.

Reina rolled forward along the ground, then got up and turned around, then blocked one's blade with her left forearm, before she blocked another's kick with her right forearm. She spun around and kicked a third's blade away, then she ran forward and kicked its chest, before she jumped and dived towards a fourth as it jumped up, punching its chest.

Cyrus jumped and twirled around sideways as one tried to slash his legs, then he spun around and kicked another away slightly, then he turned around. He did a backwards handspring as it tried to slash him with its blade, before he did a side flip to his left as another tried to slash his legs. He landed on his feet and ducked and spun around, tackling one, knocking it up into the air as he got up.

Ayumi held her cape out, waving it around as she leaned back, making two move away from her, then she spun around and moved away as one tried to slash her, then she stopped. She spun around and moved away, knocking one's blade back with her hand, then hit another's forearm with her hand, before she turned to a third, then jumped and kicked its chest, knocking it away as she back flipped.

Kiba spun around and kicked one's blade, knocking it back slightly, then he spun around and tackled another, tripping it up onto its side, then he turned around and kicked a third's chest, knocking it down. He then side flipped to his left as a fourth tried to slash his legs, then he grabbed a fifth's arm as it came at him, before he pushed it away as he got behind it and spun around.

"You want more?" he asked, waving his arms and cape around.

He jumped up as one jumped up and dived towards him, before he kicked its chest, sending it flying away.

Sora dove forward as one tried to slash his legs, before he rolled along the ground, then got up and spun around, tackling one as it came at him, flipping it backwards onto its chest. He got up and stared at three more, before one came at him and tried to slash him with its axe, but missed as he jumped over it.

"Yah!" He yelled.

He side flipped to him left over it, before he dropped kicked the other two as he dove down, knocking them down onto their backs, then he landed on his feet.

As all of this was happening, Lucy and the small bird watched the battle in both shock and amazement at how the Rangers were outmatching the grunts, as they couldn't take their eyes off the action.

"J-Just who are those guys?" Lucy asked in awe as she stared slack-jawed at the Rangers' display of strength while the bird stared at the team of heroes in awe, having never seen anything like what they just did before.

Back to the battle, as the Rangers took out all the Hidiacs, there was a second wave of them that suddenly appeared.

"Let's see what I can do with this!" Reina threw a branch at the Hidiacs before she drew her Magi Staff and pointed it forward. "Magi Staff, ha!" She said casting a spell on the branch as it glowed green while splitting into 3 different pieces and wraps around several Hidiacs, binding them in place, surprising the Magnolia pair once again.

Reina smiled and held up her staff. "Magi Staff, Axe Mode!" The short staff turned into an axe which further surprised the duo yet again "Take this!" Reina slammed her axe down on the ground, sending a wave of green magical energy into the ground which then moved towards the grunts and destroyed all of them.

"Green has always been my favorite color!" Reina said continuing to slam her axe down on more Hidiacs. "Well, second favorite color since black's my number one favorite."

"That was incredible!" Lucy said with her eyes sparkling.

Cyrus stood on top of the canal and brought out his Magi Staff, before crossing his forearms over.

"You guys look thirsty." He joked, holding it up. "Have a drink! Magi Staff, Water Power!"

He aimed it at several Hidiacs, before waves of water came up from the canal and lifted them all up, making them scream.

Ayumi brought out her Magi Staff and crossed her forearms over. "Time to blow you guys away!" she declared, holding it up as the end glowed.

She lowered it and waved her arms around, as her cape turned into large wings, before she crossed her forearms over.

"Magi Staff, Wind power!" she shouted, as her wings flapped back and forth, blowing several Hidiacs away.

Kiba brought out his Magi Staff and held it up. "Let's give them a little Magi Staff jolt and enlighten them." he joked, turning it around, pulling the 'M' down to the other end.

He held it up as the end glowed, before lightning shot from the sky and hit it,

"Ha!" he yelled, twirling it around before holding it up as the 'M' on it twisted around to make a crossbow. "Yeah! Magi Staff, Crossbow Mode!" he shouted, aiming it.

He fired blasts from it at several Hidiacs, creating a puff of smoke behind them, which knocked them all up, as another went off in front of them.

"Oh wow!" Lucy exclaimed in extreme shock. "Amazing...!"

"Vine magic, Water magic, Wind magic, Lightning magic, and weapon change..." the small bird listed off. "They appear to have numerous capabilities."

It was at that moment, they heard fighting not too far away as they looked and saw Sora leap over to the side before turning around to the grunts. 

"You fight with words. So be it." He said.

One Hidiac rushes at the Red Ranger for an attack, but he unsheathes his Magi Staff to counter the grunt.

"I know that Nick already did this, but I want to try this just once," Sora said before pointing the Magi Staff at the grunt. "Magi Staff! Ball Transformation!" The Magi Staff released red energy at the Hidiac freezing it in place as it turned into a ball.

The Earth Land pair was shocked and surprised by what happened to the foe. Then Sora placed his foot on top of the Hidiac ball before pointing at the others.

"Nice! Who doesn't love soccer? Let's have some kicks! Hiya!" Sora then kicks the ball hard at one of the Hidiacs, as it bounced off a few more Hidacs and destroyed them upon contact. Then the ball comes back to Sora, and he kicks it back to the Hidiacs with a flying spin kick, destroying another Hidiac but it causes the ball to fling into the air. Sora suddenly leaps into the sky and kicks the ball back down with a back flip. The ball comes back down at incredible speed causing an explosion upon contact with the ground, destroying a group of multiple Hidiacs at the same time. "And it's goood!"

The Earth Land pair couldn't believe what they had just seen. The guy just took out a huge number of enemies by using another Hidiac like a soccer ball.

When Sora lands back on the ground, he notices a group of Hidiacs charging at him.

Sora grins and holds up his Magi Staff. "Magi Staff! Sword Mode!" He said as the short staff turned into a sword which surprised them yet again.

Sora spins the sword in his hand before running towards the Hidiacs, as some of the Hidiacs launch magical blasts at the Red Ranger. But Sora jumps up in the air to avoid the attack as an explosion occurs behind him. Sora landed in the middle of an open area, currently surrounded by a number of Hidiacs. He wasted no time swinging his sword into the enemy as he destroyed one of them with a single strike, then slashed three more by swinging his sword widely around himself. A Hidiac rushes at Sora with an axe, only for him to counter it with a roundhouse kick and flipped the grunt over, then he avoids another attack by running forward and jumping into the air.

"Flip time!" Sora said doing a front backflip in the air, destroying another Hidiac with ease before slowly landing on the ground.

Sora cut down another Hidiac that was right near him when he landed, then ducked under another attack by spin jumping over to the left side and used the momentum of his spin to perform a low sweep on a Hidiac's leg, as it fell on the ground. Then Sora quickly stabbed the Hidiac in the stomach and used his fire magic to coat his sword in fire to burn away the grunt.

"Look at him go!" Lucy said.

Then, the remaining group of Hidiacs fired multiple slime balls at the Ranger, hoping to kill him. But it didn't work as he spotted the assault coming a mile away.

"Yikes! Ah, Oh!" Sora jumps into the air with a side-back flip to dodge the attack, as the slime balls caused an explosion that destroyed some of the Hidiacs behind him.

He did multiple backflips in the air as he landed back on the ground. "Ha! That all you got?" Sora taunted the enemy while spinning his sword, before rushing at the enemy.

The Hidiacs fired more slime balls at him as Sora avoided and deflected the attacks away before jumping up high into the air with a rolling front flip. Then Sora spread out his arms as he engulfed his entire body in fire, and the flames took the shape of a phoenix.

This display merely shocked Lucy as her eyes grew larger and her mouth hung open. "Fire...!?"

"I summon the power of the Phoenix!" Sora shouted before sweeping down at blazing speed at the remaining Hidiacs while slashing with his sword and hitting them with his phoenix fire, as he covered the group in flames.

When he appears out of the group of Hidiacs and stops a few feet away from them, the flames around his body dispelled with his back turned to them.

"Checkmate." Sora snapped his finger which made the Hidiacs behind him roar in pain, as they exploded at the same time while he slowly walked away from the the explosion like a badass. "That's hot." He said with a smile.

With that done, there were no more Hidiacs left on the battlefield as they were all wiped out.

"Man, I love being a Ranger." Sora said, turning left.

He turned slightly as the other Rangers all came towards him, huddling in a circle. 

"That was awesome, bro!" Kiba said.

"Heh!" Sora said, holding his right hand out, middle and ring fingers bent, which was the Mystic hand symbol. "Power Rangers!"

"Power Rangers!" the others said, as Ayumi did the same, followed by Reina, Kiba and Cyrus.

"All right!" Cyrus whooped, bumping arms with Reina.

"Nice one." Ayumi remarked.

"Hell yeah!" Reina added. 

Lucy and the little bird were now staring bug-eyed silently at the Power Rangers for what they just did. This mysterious group of people just took out an army of over a hundred Hidiacs single-handedly without even breaking a sweat in only a few minutes. That's something most Wizards couldn't do but yet they were able to pull it off.

Soon, the team separated and looked as the two new faces were staring at them strangely.

"Guys, I think we might have broken them." Kiba said with a grin.

"Well considering what we just did, anyone would have had the same reaction as them," Reina said grinning back.

"Makes sense," Ayumi said with a little chuckle. 

"What do we do?" Cyrus asked looking over at Sora.

"Guess we better go say hi." The Red Ranger said before walking over to them with the others following. 

The Rangers walked at a casual pace as the pair looked at them in awe. As they approached them, they managed to break out of their stupor and prepared to face the newcomers.

The team then stopped a few inches away from them. "Power Down." They said de-morphing back to normal as this surprised them a bit. 

"So, hey." Sora greeted in a mock salute. 

There was an uncomfortable silence as the EL duo didn't know what to say to him, but Ayumi was the first to notice the unconscious woman next to them.

"Hey, is she okay?" She asked, moving over to the woman with concern.

Everyone turned their attention to her and the woman, with the Rangers' eyes widening in shock.

"Éclair!" The little bird cried, back in panic mode as he flew over to the woman.

"The hell - talking bird?!" Kiba asked with a surprised expression on his face.

"We were warped to another world, Kiba; at this point, nothing surprises me." Reina muttered to him lowly. It surprised her a little when the bird talked, but it wasn't something strange to her since she knew a certain animal principal that was able to talk too.

"What happened?" Cyrus asked as he looked at the blond girl, who blinked out of her stupor.

"I-I don't know." She soon replied. "She just collasped when those...things showed up. Apparently, they were chasing them."

"But, why would the Hidiacs be here?" Sora asked outloud.

"Hidiacs?" Lucy questioned in confusion.

"The monsters that attacked you." Cyrus answered, gesturing to where they used to be. "They're foot soldiers of darkness that serve evil. They'll attack any one in their paths." He explained, as he knew these villains from Ranger history. "But they were all destroyed several years ago, so we don't understand why they're here."

"O-oh, I see...Well, thank you for your help with those things, Umm..." Lucy said uncomfortably, not knowing any of their names.

"I'm Sora. Sora Ukashi, but you can just call me Sora." Sora said to her with a smile. "This is Reina, Ayumi, Cyrus..."

"And I'm Kiba." The blonde interrupted with a proud look. "And we're the Power Rangers!"

After Kiba said that, the blonde blinked in confusion. "Power Rangers?" Lucy wondered. "I've never heard of that name before. Are you part of a guild?"

Before anyone could reply, Ayumi's voice cut in. "I hate to interrupt, but we should probably get her someplace to rest first."

"She has a point." Cyrus nodded in agreement. "If we just stay here, there's no telling when those Hidiacs might attack again."

Lucy perked up at this. "Oh, we can take her to Fairy Tail," she suggested. "Surely Master and the others would like to know about these 'Hidiac' things."

Everyone looked at her in surprise. "Huh? You're with Fairy Tail?" Reina blinked twice.

"That's right!" Lucy replied as she proudly held up her right hand and showed a pink fairy-like tattoo on the back of it. "My name's Lucy."

"That's awesome!" Kiba chirped in. "We were just looking for that guild before everything happened!"

"Really? Then, I can show you guys the way." Lucy said with a smile. "It's the least I can do after your help."

"Sounds good!" Sora replied before moving over to Éclair. "Ayu, would you give me a hand in carrying her?" 

 "Sure!" Ayumi nodded, but before she can get to work, she noticed the worried look on the bird's face so she gently scooped him up in her hands, surprising the little creature, and gently placed him on her shoulder. "Don't worry, little guy. Your friend's going to be okay." 

 But unknown to them, a lone Hidiac was watching them from afar and started to growl before vanishing in a dark spell seal.

To Be Continued...

 

 

 

Notes:

Hey everyone, so the Rangers are in the Fairy Tail Universe where they have met Lucy Heartfilia. Hope you enjoy it because this will be three or four chapters long before the Sports Festival Arc. This takes places in Fairy Tail after the Grand Magic Games and during the events of the Phoenix Priestess movie. Also, give me some ideas on new worlds I should send the Rangers to in the future because I started to run out of ideas. I don't care about the world, as long it's a place that needs the Power Rangers in them to fight against evil and help people in danger.

So everyone, tell me the worlds you want me to send them to and keep on voting for the worlds I did pick out.

Thank you very much for reading. "Power Rangers: Heroes Force" will return. Please be sure to favorite and follow if you like the story, and also review it. If you have any questions or discussions you'd have for me, then please in a review or a PM my profile.

Thank you for reading, may God bless you, and have a wonderful day.

Chapter Text

 


Fairy Tail Universe - Magnolia Town

 

"Oh. my. God!" Kiba exclaimed loudly in shock at the structure before him.

The group now stood in front of the guild that was mentioned, and they were surprised to see how big it was. It looked like a three story building, strongly resembling a castle in appearance, having battlements on top of its two upper floor, while the ground floor has a more Western-looking roof, consisting of many small, square tiles of different size. Over the battlements several large torches are lined up. Topping the building and the last floor is a small, tower-like dome containing a large bell, which has a pointed roof made of tiles; two more towers are present at both sides of the entrance, these having elongated glass windows running through them and and weathercocks shaped like Lucy's tattoo mark on their tile tops.

"Wow..." The little bird gasped.

"It's almost as big as U.A!" Ayumi gasped in awe as she and Sora held Eclair's arms over their shoulders.

"No joke." Reina whistled in awe.

"I...have no words." Cyrus started as he pushed up his glasses.

Sora looked up and saw a sign at the entrance that had a name written on it.

"Fairy Tail," Sora read before turning to Lucy. "I'm assuming that's the name of your guild, right?"

"That's right," Lucy replied, and then she held up her right hand and showed a pink tattoo on the back of it. "And this is our guild mark!"

"That's a pretty cool-looking mark!" Kiba commented.

"You're going to love it here!" Lucy told them with a bright smile. "Everyone's super nice!"

"I hope so cause I'm feeling a little nervous, to be honest." Ayumi said, shuffling her feet.

"No need to worry. Come on." The blonde assured as she walked towards the guild.

The Rangers exchanged looks before shrugging and followed after her, with the little bird not too far behind.


Inside the guild, it was a non-stop party. Everyone got along very well and considered themselves to be part of a very large family - although one with a considerable amount of friendly rivalry. As people bickered, laughed, and enjoyed themselves, the master of the guild smiled warmly at the scene from the second floor of the building. As people bickered, laughed, and enjoyed themselves, the master of the guild smiled warmly at the scene from the second floor of the building. This was Master Makarov, guild master of Fairy Tail.

He was a tiny old man with black eyes and is growing bald with only the outer rims of his head containing white hair. He wore a white tunic with the Fairy Tail symbol on the left collar, and black pants, all in which was covered by a formal white coat with white fur around the edges and a blue cross-like symbol on the back.

"Ah, these children," Master Makarov happily sighed. Although they were prone to destroying all sorts of things - walls, building, entire cities, etc., he couldn't help but love them all dearly as though they were his own.

'This is what a guild should be like - full of life and color. Although, if they were a bit more careful, it would be a lot better. I swear, any more bills or complaints and I'll be able to add another wing to guild made entirely of paper,' he thought, closing his eyes as he thought of all the paperwork he still had to go through. His adopted children could all stand to be a little bit more careful - although he doubted that that would happen anytime soon.

His peaceful thought process was suddenly broken by a loud bang as the guild doors flew open, though he perked up in surprise upon seeing Lucy alongside a set of new faces walking in with surprised looks on their faces. 'Oh? It appears we have a couple of newcomers.'

Meanwhile, the Rangers stare wide-eyed at what's happening inside the guild as they couldn't believe how many people were there and how lively it was since they've never seen anything like it before.

'So, this is what a guild is like...' Sora thought as they walked in a bit more.

As soon as they entered, it was as if a switch had been turned and the entire fight had came to a close. Every Fairy Tail mage looked to the door at the new arrivals and suddenly stopped all raucous activity. They noticed Sora and Ayumi carrying an unconscious Eclair and immediately moved towards the group with looks of concern and worry.

"Lucy...!" A voice said as someone walked up to them. It was a young man with a slightly tan skin tone, black eyes, and spiky pink-colored hair. He wore a open-collared, one-sleeved long overcoat, which is instead tucked in and zipped. The sleeve covers his left arm with a faux leather brown armband, showing a red tattoo mark, as well as his entire right arm, consequently exposed. He was also wearing a black wristband on his right wrist. "What's going on? Who are they?"

Lucy held up a hand. "Look, I'll explain in a bit. Right now, we need a place for her to rest." She replied, gesturing to Eclair.

"Oh my."  A female voice spoke up, revealing to be a beautiful woman dressed in a dark maroon dress with long white hair, save for a small tuft tied up at the top. This was Mirajane Strauss. "We have a few beds upstairs. Here, I'll take her for you."

"I'll help!" A girl came over to assist Mirajane. She had violet-colored hair and green eyes, with a round face. Her attire consists of a lime green-colored blouse with a green neckline and trim, which is complimented by a long, white skirt. She was also seen wearing green boots.

"Oh, thank you." Ayumi nodded as she and Sora gently handed Éclair over to the two women before they took her upstairs to rest, with the little bird following closely behind.

As the Rangers watched them go, it was then that they noticed someone walked up to Lucy. It was a girl younger than them, about twelve years old, and had long dark blue hair tied into two ponytails and brown eyes. Alongside her was a female white cat.

"So, who are your new friends, Lucy?" The girl asked, tilting her head towards the group.

"Oh, right!" Lucy perked up before gesturing to the Rangers. "Everyone, their names are Sora, Reina, Cyrus, Kiba, and Ayumi.  And they just saved me and our new guest from a couple of freaky monsters-"

After hearing that, the guild broke out in a loud uproar, taking the Rangers back.

"What!?" 

"Monsters!?"

"Are you okay!?"

The pinkette from before jumped in front of everyone and, much to the Rangers' shock, blew fire from his mouth. "Where are they!?" He roared out. "I'm going to kick their asses!"

The team merely stood there wide-eyed as they all had one question in their minds. 'Did that guy just breathe fire like a dragon?'

"Wait, calm down!" Lucy told them, waving her hands around. "Nothing happened to me thanks to them. They took care of them all."

This managed to calm the guild down, though the pinkette seemed disappointed. "What!?" He said before looking at the team. "That's not fair! I wanted to fight them, too!"

"Natsu, calm down," A stern voice called out, causing the boy to freeze in terror as he felt a deathly prescence behind him. It was a beautiful young woman with long red hair and brown eyes. She wore a plate of armor on her torso, along with gauntlets on her arms, she wore a dark blue skirt and black boots.

She looked at the pinkette, now known as Natsu, with a deathly glare that scared him and made him stop talking. "S-Sorry!"

"Huh. I like her." Reina whispered to her friends.

The redhead then cleared her throat before turning her attention to the Rangers with a less serious expression. "Apologies for that. On behalf of the guild, I wanted to say thank you for helping Lucy. My name is Erza Scarlet. It's nice to meet you all."

"Sure, no problem." Sora spoke after a moment. "And there's no need to thank us, we were just doing our jobs."

Cyrus politely cleared his throat, gaining the redhead's attention. "Pardon me for asking, but are you the guild master that Lucy mentioned? Cause my friends I were hoping that you and everyone else here in the guild would like to know more about the monsters that attacked her."

Erza blinked at this in surprise. "What? Me...the guild master? Oh, no. Though I'm flattered you would think that." She muttered in a flustered manner.

The Rangers blinked owlishly in response to the info before Ayumi blushed in embarrassment and bowed her head. "Oh, we're sorry! It's just that this is quite literally our first time being in a guild. As well as hearing about one." 

This shocked everyone even more than before. "WHAT!?"

"Eh? Really?"  Lucy said surprised. She found it strange that her guild was the first one they had seen. The girl was sure that there were guilds in the other kingdoms, so how could it be possible that Fairy Tail was the first guild they had ever seen? There was something mysterious about the teens with her, and she had a lot of questions for them, especially about those suits they used to defeat the Hidiacs.

 Reina nodded before adding in her own thoughts. "Yeah, to be honest, we kinda thought Red was the guild master because of how you got Pinky over there to calm down." She then pointed at Natsu.

At that moment, a snicker was heard by a young man, but he had spiky black-colored hair and dark blue eyes. He wore dark olive green jeans with black shoes. He had a necklace with a cross on it. Though, for some reason, he wasn't wearing a shirt. "Pinky? Hehe, gotta remember that one!"

Natsu glared at the man. "At least, I don't lose my clothes every 5 minutes!"

"Huh?" The boy raised an eyebrow in confusion before looking down and screamed as he now noticed that he's not wearing his shirt and jeans, but only in his underwear. "Oh, crap!"

"Aahh!" Ayumi screamed in shock as she covered her eyes with her hands with an embarrassed blush on her face.

The boy Rangers screamed in shock as well before trying their best to avert their gaze and/or cover their eyes.

"Put your clothes back on, you pervert!" Reina yelled at him while also trying to avert her gaze.

Natsu, on the other hand, was laughing loudly at the scene before him. "How does it feel to be called a pervert, Elsa?!"

"Why you-" The dark-haired boy growled at Natsu before Erza suddenly smashed their heads together.

"Enough!"

"Oh. That had to hurt," Kiba cringed.

"It's the only way we can get through their thick skulls," Lucy sighed.

 "Aye, it's always like this!" A figure came to the group, revealing to be a blue cat with a green pack. "I'm Happy! Natsu's partner!"

"Carla. I'm an Exceed, and so is he." Carla pointed at the blue Exceed and said. 

"Aye Sir!"

"TWO talking cats?!" Kiba asked with a surprised expression on his face

Reina shot him a dead stare. "Dude, we already went over this with the talking Tweety Bird. Honestly, I kinda figured you'd be used to talking animals by now."

At that moment, they all heard a squeal from Ayumi as her eyes were widened with sparkles.

Suddenly, Happy and Carla were scooped up into the Pink Ranger's arms and being hugged. "You two are so cuuuute!" Ayumi started nuzzling her cheeks next to theirs. "Oh, I just wanna wrap you both up like a present and take you home with me!"

Lucy blinked owlishly at the girl. "Uhhh, what?"

Sora laughed at the scene. "Sorry. She love cute things." He then looked over at Happy and Carla. "Still, it's not every day I meet talking cats like you."

"And it's not every day I meet kind people like you." Happy commented.

"Why do I feel that he was referring to me?" Lucy said with an eye twitch, before looking at the Rangers.

"U-Unhand me, at once!" Carla exclaimed. "I am not some pet that you could cuddle with!"

"Well, at least she's not as bad as that cat girl." Happy muttered.

"Oh! Sorry, sorry!" Ayumi apologized as she released the duo.

"No worries! She's doesn't mean any harm!" The young blue-haired girl from before spoke up. "My name is Wendy..." She introduced herself shyly. "I...uh...I just wanted to thank you for saving Lucy...Thank you very much!"

"Huh?" Sora blinked, a bit taken aback by the girl's politeness. "You're welcome, but you don't need to be polite with us."

"Come on, Wendy, you need to stop being so shy," Carla told her. 

"Ah, I-I'm sorry, but I can't help it," said Wendy, who was a bit embarrassed.

"I see," Sora said, and then he leaned to make Wendy look at him. "Well, if it's a habit, then don't worry about it. You can address me like you did before if that's how you always do it."

"Thank you!" said Wendy, this time with a smile and a bright expression on her face.

Seeing how the group appeared to be friendly, everyone grouped around the Rangers and bombarded them with questions.

"Hey, what kind of magic do you guys use?"

"What's with those clothes? I've never seen them before!"

"Wanna join our team?"

Not used to the sudden attention, the Rangers began feel a little overwhelmed by it.

Now, now - settle down a bit!" A new voice ordered everyone, immediately silencing everyone. "Let's give our guests some room to breathe."

Walking throught the crowd, Master Makarov made his way to the new arrivals.

"Oh, Master! I didn't see you there," Erza said to him.

Reina leaned towards Lucy before whispering, "I'm guessing that the little old man Red's talking to is actually the guild master?"

"Trust me, I was just as surprised as well when I first became a member." Lucy whispered back.

Makarov then stood in front of the Rangers with a serious expression on his face.

"I overheard your conversation. You're the ones who saved Lucy, right?" asked the elder.

"Yes, we are." Sora replied, feeling a bit nervous by how the old man was looking at them.

"Nice to meet you!" the elder said, this time with a goofy grin and a happy voice. "I am Makarov Dreyar, Guild Master of Fairy Tail! I consider everyone in this guild like they're my own children, so I wanted to thank you for that."

'What was that sudden change in attitude?' The Rangers thought with puzzled faces.

 "I-It's nothing, sir." Cyrus uttered, trying to get over the confusion.

 "Yeah, we're just glad we could be there to help." Kiba shrugged casually.

"Glad to hear that!" Makarov nodded before speaking again. "Now then, may I ask for your names?"

Ayumi blinked at this. "Oh, right! I'm Ayumi." She greeted before gesturing to each of her friends.
And these are my friends: Sora, Cyrus, Reina, and Kiba."

"I see. So, what brings you all to Fairy Tail?"

Sora stepped forward. "Well, we were wondering if you could tell us more about Fiore."

Kiba was the next to speak. "The thing is, we're not from around here."

Makarov raised an eyebrow at this. "Oh? Could you possibly be from another continent by any chance?"

The Rangers all looked at each other for a second, then nodded to one another in agreement.

"Not... exactly." Ayumi replied, scratching her cheek. "D-Don't freak out or anything, but we're actually from another world."

Everyone's eyes widened with shock as their jaws dropped to the floor. "Does that mean you're from Edolas?" Gray asked them.

"We have no idea what that place is, but no." Reina responsed.

"So...." Erza folded her arms with narrowed eyes. "If you're not from our world or Edolas. Then where do you come from?"

Sora just sighs to himself as he and the others might as well tell them, hoping they believe him.

"Okay, this is going to sound crazy and unbelievable, but everything I'm about to tell you is true." Cyrus said to them. "The truth is we come from a completely different universe than this one." He said making their eyes widen in shock. 

Makarov saw the Rangers' serious expressions and and narrowed his eyes. 'Their eyes are telling the truth...'

"Oh my. Sounds like you five have quite a story to tell." The Rangers looked over to see the white-haired woman from before approach the crowd with a surprised expression.

"You have no idea." Reina snorted before tilting her head. "Uhh...?"

"Oh, I'm Mirajane Strauss." The woman smiled, as she greeted the team. "It's a pleasure to meet you all!"

"You as well." Ayumi replied back, before gesturing to the room where Eclair was. "Is she okay?"

Without a beat, Mirajane nodded. "No worries, she's just resting with her little bird friend."

The Rangers all sighed in relief at that. "That's good to hear." Cyrus mumbled.

Kiba rubbed his head. "So... are we starting our story from the beginning, or...?" He asked.

 Sora dropped his leader persona with a sigh. "Let's just start with where we're from and work our way from there." He looked at the guild as a whole and began to explain.


A While Later...

Fairy Tail has seen and experienced many things in its long life of being a guild, but nothing could have prepared them for what they just heard, as everyone was completely flabbergasted with an awestruck look on their faces from learning the truth about the Rangers.

This group of newcomers have told the guild everything about being from another world where humans are born with superpowers and they were a team of upcoming heroes fighting against monsters in other to protect their world and the rest of the universe from evil.

"Wow, I think I might need something strong after hearing that..." drawled Cana Alberona, a young woman with long brown hair and bra clad drunk of the guild. The brunette beauty had just downed a barrel of particularly strong alcohol, but now, she felt like it wasn't enough.

"That's...one heck of a story you guys have." Levy, a blue haired beauty, commented in awe.

Lucy soon got over her surprise before speaking her mind. "Okay, so the five of you came from another world where humans are born with a superpower?" She asked with interest.

"Mostly everyone, remember we're quirkless." Kiba corrected, making her frown a bit.

"Oh right, sorry." Lucy apologized as she couldn't imagine how bad discrimination for those with certain powers or no powers are treated in their world.  "Then you're also a part of a group of spandex-"

"It's not spandex." The Rangers bluntly said to her in deadpan tones.

"Right, you're... color-outfitted heroes who run around saving the world from evil monsters and aliens multiple times? Seems like a tough job and responsible." Lucy said softly to them in an impressed tone.

"Wow, that's amazing!" Wendy said in awe. A group of heroes that fought to protect the world and the entire universe from dangerous threats? How can she not be amazed by something like that?

"Well being a Ranger isn't an easy job as you've already seen, but as long as we can make people smile with our actions, then it's worth it." Cyrus said with a confident smile.

"Sounds intense. How much does this job pay you anyway?" A man with purple hair and a mustache asked as he was sitting next to another person who had short brown hair and a cigarette in his mouth. These were Macao and Wakaba.

"Keeping people safe and sound from dangerous threats is our payment." Ayumi replied back.

"Wait, so you're doing all this stuff for free?" Wakaba asked in confusion "Why?"

"Because not everyone can defend themselves from evil beings and organizations that want to take over the world or something much worse," Reina said with seriousness and confidence in her voice.

"We're Power Rangers. We don't care about recognition, rewards, or even expecting something in return. We just want to keep people safe, so they can live their lives freely without fear." Sora said with his own seriousness.

The guild was astonished by their words and blinked multiple times, yet they couldn't help but admire the team's selfless words.

"Hey, all of you, fight me!" Natsu exclaimed suddenly. It seemed that the pinkette wanted to challenge the Rangers after hearing their story. However, Erza knocked out Natsu before he could even get close to them.

"I must admit, your selflessness is really something to admire." The redhead spoke casually, as if she didn't just knock out the pinkette.

"Aye!" Happy said as he munched on a fish.

"Leaving that aside, those monsters that attacked Lucy? What were they anyway?" Gray asked them.

"Right." Cyrus nodded with a serious expression. "To put it bluntly, they're undead foot soldiers of darkness that serve evil and fought alongside with a monster called Morticon in a Great Battle many years ago. However, they were somehow released and were sent on a quest of destruction."

"Only for a new team of Power Rangers, that came way before we did, rose up to fight them countless times before finally destroying them." Ayumi joined in.

"But for some strange reason, they're in this world, which means... one of our enemies is here in this world calling the shots." Reina said, thinking about who was controlling those foot soldiers.

"Huh, so you five came from your world to stop whoever it is controlling those things and preventing them from destroying our world?" Another voice asked with curiosity. It was a cat similar to Happy and Carla, only he had round ears and black fur. This was Pantherlily.

"That's what it's looking like, or else we never would have been sent here in the first place. So we can't leave this world until it's safe." Sora replied with confidence.

"HOW MUCH MANLY ARE YOU GUYS?!" a large, muscular man with tan colored skin roared. His height caused him to tower over most of the people in the guild. He also had long white hair styled upwards in long, wavy spikes, and dark eyes with a stitched scar running down the right side of his face, crossing his right eye.

The Rangers simply looked bewildered by the question, causing to Mira who let out a sigh as she facepalmed.

"Excuse my younger brother, Elfman. He's obsessed with being the manliest... man in the room," Mira whispered to the Rangers, who nodded in understanding while Kiba raised an eyebrow.

Sora turned his gaze back to Elfman. "Well, I don't know if our "manliness" matches yours. You must work out quite a bit," He said, taking in Elfman's massive frame. The white haired mage grinned proudly, hands on his hips as he struck a pose. Mira sighed at this.

"Kinda reminds me of someone back home." Reina muttered under her breath as she thought about a certain redhead with a Hardening Quirk. 

 "Wait, did you say he's your younger brother?" Kiba asked as he turned his head back and forth from Mirajane to Elfman.

"Yup!" Someone chirped in, revealing to be a young girl that bared a resemblance to Mirajane with short, white hair and blue eyes. "Hiya! Since most of the people here are introducing themselves to you, I wanted to do the same. My name is Lisanna Strauss, and I'm Mirajane and Elfman's younger sister. It's nice to meet you!"

"It's nice to meet you too!" Cyrus said smiling with a nod.

"So, what exactly is your plan of action now?" Carla questioned as she folded her arms.

The Rangers all took a moment to think over Carla's question, until Reina answered first. "That's a good question. Even if we know that the Hidiacs are here, we still don't know who sent them and why."

"Maybe we can start searching for clues about who's leading them." Cyrus suggested to the team.

Ayumi perked up at something. "Wait, didn't that cute little bird say that he and that Éclair girl were chased by them? Maybe they know something." She said getting a hum from Sora.

"Yeah, you're right. Which means, it'll be best to wait here so we can ask them once they've rested up." Sora told them.

"Excellent!" Makarov suddenly said. "Now then, would you all mind coming with me?"

"Eh?"


Makarov then led the Rangers to a back room with one window as he stood in the center of the room.

"Now, about this world...Since you're going to stay here for a while, I thought you all would like to know more about it. This world is called Earth Land, and magic is something that's very important here. Only ten percent of this world's population is able to use magic, which is noted to keep a balance between ordinary people and those with magic. Those who can use magic are known for usually being affiliated to a guild, where they can take on jobs as a source of personal income and adventure."

"So, this is like a Mages Guild?" Reina asked.

"That's right," Makarov replied. "But there are many other guilds besides Mage Guilds, such as Merchant, Mercenary, Treasure hunter, even Bandit Guilds. In general, guilds are formed for mages to take jobs and earn Jewels, and also for them to train and grow stronger."

"Amazing..." Cyrus breathed out. He was amazed and really interested in what he was hearing. In a way, it sounded almost exactly like the Pro Agencies that Heroes created by home.

"That's sounds so cool!" Kiba exclaimed with sparkling eyes. 

"It must be fun to be part of a guild,"  Ayumi said with a smile. 

"Funny you should say that..." Makarov began. "Because that's exactly why I brought you five here." 

"What do you mean?" Sora asked, raising an eyebrow.

"How would you all like to join Fairy Tail?" The Guild Master suddenly asked them.

 "Huh?" The Rangers uttered in unison with their eyes widening and their mouths slightly open. Suffice it to say, they really didn't expect that. Luckily, Reina was the first to ask.

 "Yeah, no offense Gramps, but why do you want us to join your guild? You do know that we have to get back home as soon as our mission here is done, right?" 

"This may or may not matter to you all, but if you are seeking these 'Hidiacs' out, then the guild is really the best place to do so. We share information with each other. If you want to journey out to find out their goal, then the guild is your best bet. I'm not forcing you to join, it is your decision to do so or not. But I am offering you my help." Makarov told them.

Sora eyed the ground thoughtfully for a moment. They were new to this world and barely knew anything about it. Maybe getting experienced help in this unknown world had merit. "Alright then, I guess we could give it a shot."

 "How can I say no to joining an actual Magic Guild? Count me in!" Kiba chimed in as he excitedly raised his hand.


"...And after that, they took down those guys within no time at all!" Lucy said, as she had just finished recapping what the Rangers had done.

To say that the guild was shocked was an understatement.

"No way!?" Natsu exclaimed loudly as what he heard.

"Seriously...?" Gray muttered as his eyes widened with surprise.

"Earth Magic, Wind Magic, Water Magic, Lighting Magic, Fire Magic, and Requip Magic..."  Erza counted off with interest. "I've never heard of anyone using so many types of magic."

"Wow...so amazing!" Wendy breathed in wonder.

"Can you go back to the part where that Sora guy turned one of the monsters into a ball?" Macao asked while chuckling, finding that part hilarious.

"Yeah, I'm finding that hard to believe." Wakaba snorted in agreement.

"Magi Staffs..." Levy said, as she recalled what Lucy told them. "Odd name for weapons. I wonder what else they can do?"

"Although, I'm curious about these 'Hidiac' monsters that were after that girl." Mira mused over, as she looked up at the room where Eclair resided.

"Maybe there was something special about her that they wanted?" Happy threw in.

"Heh, I'm sure I could take 'em!" Natsu boasted proudly. "In fact, I'm gonna ask those guys about tagging along with us!"

 At this, Lucy was taken back by surprise. "Not that I'm against it, but do you think we can take someone who's not a member of the guild on a mission with us?" asked Lucy. "We should ask Master, first."

"It'll be fine," said Natsu smiling. "They're not from around here, right? We can show them around while we defeat all the Hidiacs we can."

"Aye, and besides, if they're running around Fiore, think of the requests that will go out for defeating Hidiacs! They'll probably offer a lot of Jewels as an reward," Happy added. "With the Rangers' help, we could earn a lot of money with ease."

"You're right, let's take them with us!" said Lucy, who forgot about asking Makarov to let the Rangers go with them on missions right after hearing what Happy said about the money.

"You know, you always have that evil glint in your eyes when you think about a huge reward." Happy pointed out.

"That's not true!" said Lucy pouting.

"Are you going on a job?" asked Erza, who could hear Lucy and Happy talking about a reward.

"Yeah, we were going to go along with the Rangers," Lucy replied. "Do you want to come, Erza?"

"If you're going with them, then count me in as well," Erza said, crossing her arms. "I'm curious about their magic, so this might be the only chance I have to see it in action. Besides, I have to make sure these 'Hidiacs' fiends don't start attacking more towns."

"Isn't that job for the newcomers?" Gray asked , who was walking towards the group with Wendy and Carla by his side. "But if you're going to help them, then I'll tag along."

"Yes, we'll go, too!" said Wendy.

"I suppose they'll finish sooner if all of us help them, after all," Carla said. "Though, I can't help but be skeptical of all this..."

"All right, it's settled!" Natsu declared with a raised fist. "We're inviting the Rangers to join us on the next job we take!"

"Aye!" Happy chirped with a raised paw.

Lucy sighed. "Just try to not destroy the town while we are there. I'd like to get the full reward this time. That goes for you too, Gray."

"And what about Erza?" asked Gray, and then the redhead mage started looking at him with a scary and deathly glare. "Forget what I said..."

Wendy glanced out from the corner of her eyes and saw the Rangers walking out of a room. "Look, there they are!"  She also noticed that Sora had a perplexed expression on his face. "What's wrong?"

"Maybe Gramps told him something bad," Gray said.

"Hey guys! Over here!" Lucy called out as he waved her hand to draw the group's attention. The Rangers heard her and started walking to where she and the other mages were.

"Hey..." Sora said.

"Is something wrong, you guys?" Mirajane asked in concern.

"No, it's just...something happened," Cyrus replied, crossing his arms. "Something that none of us didn't expect it would happen."

"What is it?" asked a curious Lucy.

The Rangers all looked at one another before turning back to the mages. "Well..." Ayumi began to say before she and the others all showed the back of their left hands to the people who were in front of them. They were shocked when they saw the Fairy Tail mark of various colors: Red for Sora, Black for Reina, Blue for Cyrus, Yellow for Kiba, and Pink for Ayumi on on the back of each Ranger's left hand respectively. The Power Rangers were now members of the Fairy Tail Guild.

"You guys were members of Fairy Tail!?" Natsu asked as he was shocked by this.

"No, you idiot, they must've just joined," Gray said correcting the Fire Dragon Slayer.

"How did this happen?" Erza asked, who was just as surprised as the others.

"Makarov asked us to join...well, I guess we should call him Master now..." Kiba said, touching his chin. 

"So Master was the one who asked you to join..." Mirajane said, still a bit surprised, and then she gave the Rangers a bright smile. "Well, welcome to Fairy Tail, then."

"Haha! You guys are gonna fit right in!" Natsu said, grinning as he put an arm around Sora's shoulder.

"Really?" Sora asked.

"I wonder why he asked you guys to join Fairy Tail. After all, you're not from Earthland and you won't be here forever, right?"  Lucy asked, and then she realized that what she said sounded a bit bad. "B-but don't get me wrong, I'm happy you're all members of the guild. I was actually thinking before that it would be nice if you guys decided to join Fairy Tail."

"That's exactly what we told him, but like Kiba said, he's pretty good with words." Reina told her with a shrug.

Erza smiled. "Sounds like Master."

"And he said something else before we walked out..." Sora said. "Something about how jealous the other guilds would be when they find out that Fairy Tail is the first Mages Guild in history with a otherworldly mages. He had a smug expression on his face when he said that..."

Mirajane sighed. "Master can be quite childish sometimes."

"Wow, did you guys join the guild!?" A mage asked suddenly when he saw the mark of Fairy Tail on the team's hand.

"Awesome, now Fairy Tail has 5 new mages!" Another mage cheered.

"With three Dragon Slayers and 5 Heroes, we'll be unstoppable!" added another member of Fairy Tail.

"It looks like everyone is glad you guys are now members of Fairy Tail," Happy said as he and the others looked at the mages celebrating that the Rangers joined the guild. 

 "Wow. You guys really know how to make someone feel welcome." Reina commented in amazement at the sight before her with the other Rangers nodding in agreement.

"I think it's because we got two cute girls joining." Gray snickered jokingly, earning a deadpan stare from Ayumi and Reina.

"I don't know how to feel about that..." Ayumi muttered.

"You and me both..." Reina agreed.

Suddenly, the duo felt an ominous presence behind them. "So... you want to steal my beloved Gray, too? Huh, Love Rivals!?"

Turning around, the girls came face to face with a slender, young woman with azure blue hair, midnight blue eyes, snow white skin complexion and a curvaceous figure. Though on her beautiful face, was an expression of malice intent.

"EEK!" Ayumi squeaked out  in fright as she jumped behind Reina, who raised an eyebrow.

"I'm sorry, what?" She questioned. "Your 'beloved'? Who the heck are you supposed to be?"

"That's Juvia!" Happy replied as he ate a fish. "She'll scare any girl that even looks at Gray, that or she will just glare at Lucy."

"It's true..." Lucy muttered in defeat.

"That's either really creepy or really adorable. I honestly can't decide which," Cyrus whispered to Kiba and Sora.

"You're not the only one." The latter commented.

Ayumi blinked at Happy's explanation. "So, are you like his girlfriend, or something?" She asked.

"What!? No!" Gray shouted frantically.

"Do you really think that Juvia could be Gray's girlfriend?" Juvia suddenly asked with sparkles in her eyes after grabbing Ayumi's hands. She looked very pleased with what the Pink Ranger said.

Ayumi was taken aback by Juvia's sudden reaction as she didn't know what to answer, but she had a feeling that if she said no to the woman, she would get upset. 

So, with an awkward smile, she spoke. "U-Um, yeah sure! You two seem like a perfect couple!"

Reina then stepped in besided Ayumi. "So, you see? Pretty Boy over there is all yours." She said, gesturing to Gray.

"Thank you!" Juvia thanked the two girl Rangers before walking over to Gray and gazing longingly at him. As for Gray... the Ice-Make Mage could only groan at what just happened. 

Sora raised an eyebrow at this as Mira, who just giggled, leaned over to the Rangers and whispering.

"She loves him, but he  may or may not feel the same way. Basically, no competition can exist for his heart. That goes for guys as well as girls," she said.

"Ahh..." The Red Ranger nodded in understanding.

It was at that moment Wendy moved over to the group. "So, Lucy told us about your magic." She explained with a smile. "Could you show us?"

 The Rangers looked suprised at the request as the guild leaned forward in anticipation. "You want to see our magic?" Cyrus asked, making sure he heard right.

It seemed they were eager to know, so Kiba shrugged. "I guess I can show you a few. Though most of our spells are a little too destructive to use inside." He then pulled out his Mytstic Morpher and flicked it open.

This confused others who were watching, as the other Rangers merely looked on.

"That's the device they used to change!" Lucy exclaimed, pointing at the morpher.

"What is that? A magic device?" Natsu wondered.

"What's he going to do with that?" Happy asked.

Kiba then pointed his morpher at himself.  "Hope this works." He muttered to himself. "Levitatus...Milanda!" Soon, he began to levitate several feet off the ground. "Sweet! It worked!"

His new guild mates looked on in awe. Natsu was the first to speak.

"That. Is. AWESOME! I thought only wind wizards like Eribor could fly like that?!" he exclaimed.

"You idiot, it's Erigor, not Eribor. But yeah, I thought so too. That's pretty neat," Gray said as he looked on in wonder and excitement. He didn't admit it, but he wanted to try his hand at fighting the Rangers as well; they seemed to be quite formidable from what Lucy said.

'Guess I'll take my chance when and if Flame Brain can't!' he thought to himself.

Kiba then landed on the ground with his arms up. "Fa-da!"

"Wow," Wendy looked on in awe.

"Show off." Reina snorted with her arms folded and a playful smile on her face.

"That's Kiba for you!" Ayumi replied with a giggle.

"So, I assume you all can do the same?" Erza asked the group.

"Pretty much." Cyrus shrugged. "Though, it's merely one of many spells we know."

"'One of many'? How many spells do you all know?" 

 "Well... let's just say that we'd be here all day if we listed all of the spells that we know." Sora replied to her.

Kiba rubbed his nose with a cheeky face. "I'd show you more, but we gotta save some tricks for later, ya know?"

Most of the guild members looked disappointed at the answer, but let it go afterwards.

Ayumi wanted to say something reassuring to some of the guild members that were still disappointed, but she stopped herself when she noticed that Éclair woman and her little bird friend (who was sitting on the woman's shoulder) leaving the room they were in and walking down the stairs. 

 "I guess the little guy's friend is feeling much better now." Ayumi notified Lucy by nodding her head to the now-awake woman.

Lucy's eyes widened at this. "Oh, you're awake!" She called out.

The entire guild fell quiet as everyone turned to see a woman with small yellow bird descend down the stairs. 

Once they reached the first floor, Sora moved over to the pair with a smile. "Glad to see that you guys are okay."

"Yea, it's all thanks to you guys!" the yellow bird chirped happily.

Eclair looked at the boy and slightly bowed her head. "Momon informed me that you saved us earlier. I thank you for that." She spoke in a polite tone as she ignored all the stares she was receiving from the other members.

Cyrus then blinked at something. "Wait, Momon?" He repeated.

"That's the name Éclair gave me." The little bird, now known as Momon, answered with a raised wing. "I never got to introduce myself earlier."

"Pleased to meet you, I'm Lucy." The blond spoke, shaking hands with Momon and extended her hand to Éclair, who didn't shake her hand and remained silent for the time being.

"I'm Sora." Sora said, gesturing to himself.

"Kiba." The Yellow Ranger said, jumping onto Sora's back.

"Ayumi!" waved the Pink Ranger as she jumped on Kiba, causing the trio to collapse.

"The name's Reina." The greenette introduced as she walked over to the group.

"And I'm Cyrus." Cyrus added, joining her.

"You're very kind," Éclair said, showing her gratitude to the guild. "Come along, Momon."

Éclair frimly held her belongings and prepared to make her departure. Suddenly, Carla eyes widened in shock as a series of images flashed before Carla's eyes.


A beast attacking a forest with a loud roar

A ruined temple residing within the center of trees...

Eclair spinning around as tears fall from her eyes...

An shadow of an undead monster resembling a cyborg, leading an army of Hidiacs...


Seeing this made Carla fly near Eclair. "Wait! I just saw a premonition." She called out.

"Premonition?" Éclair repeated.

"You're heading to a forest. Watch out. There is sadness and despair that awaits you in your path." The white Exceed warned.

"A forest," Eclair murmured before this caused something within her mind to snap, and a man who was dying before her told her where to go. "That's right. Deep within the Boundary Forest. That's where it is," she said to herself.

"I don't think you wanna go there." Happy warned.

This merely confused the Rangers. "Uh, what just happened?" Sora asked as he climbed to his feet, along with Ayumi and Kiba.

"Oh, that was Carla's Precognition." Wendy explained as she came over to them. "She has the ability to predict what and when something will happen."

"Like, she can see into the future?" Cyrus asked, intrigued by such an ability.

Éclair ignored the conversation and made her departure out of the guild with Momon alongside her.

"H-Hold on!" Lucy called out before she ran after the duo with Natsu and Happy.

"Come on!" Sora told his team as they made their way out too.


Magnolia Town

Eclair and Momon walked through the town as they head straight for their destination where her answers lies there. The group soon caught up to Éclair and stopped her.

"Wait a second, where are you going?" Lucy asked.

"The Boundary Forest." Éclair responded.

"But that place is super dangerous." Happy warned. "Everyone says it's crawling with monsters!"

"Not to mention, the monster guys from before might come after you." Kiba added in.

"Still, I have to go."

"How come?" Reina asked her.

"I don't know. It's calling to me, and I can't ignore it." The woman answered as her eyes shimmered with emotion.

This surprised Lucy as she narrowed her eyes in determination. "Fine then we'll go along to keep you safe. We are wizards after all." She said.

Eclair turned away from the group. "I'm not very fond with magic."

"Now be nice." Momon suggested.

"Magic only brings nothing but sorrow." Eclair replied, somberly.

"You think it brings sorrow?" Cyrus questioned as he and the Rangers looked at each other. That sounded similar to how some people view Quirks back in their world. Especially, those who were Quirkless.

"Well, I know it can bring joy!" Lucy argued frimly. "So, we're coming with you!"

"Yeah. I'm sure you'll love magic once you seen it." Natsu added.

"Helping people in need is what the Power Rangers does best." Kiba spoke, puffing out his chest.

"Power Rangers? What's that?" Eclair asked as she never heard of them before.

"We're basically a group of heroes that kick any kind of evil ass," Reina said to her which made Momon's eyes widen in shock.

"You guys are heroes?!" Momon yelled in surprise.

"Yep, and the kind that you've never seen before," Cyrus said to him.

"We're officially known as the Power Rangers Hero Force." Sora said bringing attention to himself.

"It's like what Sora said, and I speak for the whole team when I say this." Ayumi said to the girl with a warm smile on her face. "Nothing would make us happier than to help you."

Eclair looked at the pink-haired girl before looking at the other Rangers who was giving her a smile and head nods as they were willing to help her out as well.

"We shall accompany you as well." A voice declared as everyone turned to see Erza walking towards them.

"Why not? We got nothing else to do." Gray said as he, Wendy, and Carl tag along.

"Well... at least we'll have company." Momon said.

Éclair remained silent until she, eventually and reluctantly, accepted their help to get her to the Boundary Forest.

To Be Continued...

Chapter Text

 


???

Somewhere within a place that looked like it was underground, laid ancient castle ruins.

Inside were swarms of Hidiacs and other creatures called Styxoids who held staff/spear weapons, had skull-like heads, wore brown boots and gloves, and had knights armor around their waist.

Suddenly, all the Hidiacs and Styxoids around the place muttered and growled, when a Styxoid approached a Hidiac who had returned from somewhere, pushing two Hidiacs away as it did.

 "Ah! You failed Morticon!" The Styxoid growled, grabbing the Hidiac. "For that, you will pay!"

It threw the other grunt down towards the center of the throne room, before it landed on its back.

"Uh!" The Hidiac grunted before it got up and clutched its shoulder, staring at a figure, who sat in a throne, holding a large bronze sword.

It was a monster resembling an undead cyborg, had machinery around the bulk of his body fused into his blue skin, and had a muffler pointing up on the right side of his head. This was none of other than Morticon, a past enemy of the Mystic Force.

"I sent you and the other Hidiacs to the Surface World to bring back the source of the powerful magic that I have sensed, and you return with nothing? Explain yourself, soulless mutant!" Morticon began as he stood up from the throne

"I sent you and the other Hidiacs to the Surface World to bring back the source of the powerful magic that I have sensed, and you return with nothing? Explain yourself, soulless mutant!" Morticon began as he stood up from the throne.

"But wait, Lord Morticon! There was these color-coded wiazrds that interfered with our mission and the source got away!" Hidiac explained, getting Morticon's attention.

"Color-coded wizards?" Morticon repeated, before realization hit him. "Did these wizards have matching uniforms?" he asked the grunt.

"Yes... though they called themselves the 'Power Rangers'." the Hidiac replied.

Morticon looked on in disbelief before anger overtook him. "Power Rangers. That miserable, infuriating, stubborn Mystic Force!" He roared out with rage as he then slashed his sword at the Hidiac, destroying it in an instant, before stabbing his weapon into the ground which unleashed a powerful shockwave that caused parts of his throne room to collapse and destroy a few other Hidiacs and Styxoids.

"Listen up, my undead warriors!" He roared, walking forward. "After Queen Alsatia revived us, you have all wanted revenge against the Mystic Force for destroying the Master many years ago. And now, our time to avenge our fallen master has come! After we find the source, we will use its powerful magic to destroy the Mystic Force and anyone else that dares to get in our way!" 

 All of the Hidiacs and Styxoids in the throne room roared and cheered with their weapons raised. The motor on the side of Moritcon's head spun around and revved up, shooting smoke from the muffler.

""We underestimated the Rangers and paid for it dearly, but no longer. We will be victorious. We will finally rule over the Surface World!" Morticon finished his speech with his sword raised high into the air while the Hidiacs and Styxoids roared and cheered much louder than before.


Magnolia Station

After deciding to help Eclair and Momon together, the Rangers and Team Natsu joined the pair at Magnolia's train station to take a train to Rose Garden. Now they were waiting for the train to arrive to the station. Lucy, Momon, Wendy, Ayumi, Happy and Carla were waiting on a bench, while Eclair sat a bit farther from them. Sora, Reina, Cyrus and Kiba all stood nearby as Natsu and Gray were arguing for something irrelevant, and Erza wasn't there because she wanted to pick up some things before leaving.

On the way, they learned that this world is called Earth Land. Most of the known part of Earth Land was occupied by a very large peninsula, with some isles of different sizes being scattered in the sea surrounding it, and the peninsula itself being linked to the mainland, whose geography is mainly unknown.

The territory of this land was split into several countries: The Kingdom of Fiore being one of them.

Fiore was occupied by a smaller, secondary peninsula sprouting from the mainland, to the west. The Principality of Veronica is a small country located in the Mountains north of Fiore. The country of Seven occupied a peninsula northeast of Fiore. The country of Bosco is located east of Fiore. The Country of Iceberg is located to the east of Seven, northeast of Bosco, north of Joya, northwest of Bellum, and west of the Pergrande Kingdom. And so, on which expanded the boundaries of Earth Land.

But there was one thing about this world that got the Ranger's attitude as it was more than just the kingdoms. It was a world of Magic, as unbelievable as that sounded.

Magic has been around for centuries in Earth Land and Fiore and is used in everyday life for various needs. And there were those who used magic in life as their occupation. They were referred to as wizards, more commonly known as Mages. The wizards belonged to various guilds and performed jobs on commission. There are a number of large guilds within the country.

The majority of the advanced technology and machinery in this world is powered by Magic, such as weapons, transportation, and everyday conventional tools, all powered by Lacrima or a Mage's own Magic as its power source. The minority of this world's technology relies on different power sources, reminiscent of the Industrial Age, such as steam locomotives and horse-drawn carriages.

"Shouldn't someone stop them?" Cyrus asked as he and the other Rangers watched Natsu and Gray.

"I don't think that would be a good idea..." Wendy said awkwardly.

"Yeah, they're always like that." Lucy waved it off.

"Just wait until Erza gets here," Happy added while eating a fish.

"I must say, it's good to have at least more members in the guild who don't take part in the brawls," Carla said as she looked at the Rangers. "Those two could learn a little from you all."

Sora chuckled. "Well, we don't look for fights...usually fights find us instead."

"Ain't that the truth?" Reina snorted as she leaned against a pole.

"By the way, what kind of magic do you use?" Kiba asked the FT group. "I'm kind of curious."

"I'm a Celestial Spirit Mage," Lucy said proudly as she showed her keys to the Rangers. "Celestial Spirit Magic is a magic in which the user summons Celestial Spirits of the Zodiac by opening their gates through the use of Celestial Spirit Gate Keys."

"Carla and I can use Aera," Happy joined in before a pair of angelic wings appeared on his back. He started flying around to show the Rangers what he could do with Aera.

"Oh, so you can fly on your own," Cyrus said, really impressed before turning to the blue-haired girl.

 "And you, Wendy?" Ayumi asked, turning her attention to the youngest girl.

"I use Sky Magic," Wendy replied Wendy. "I am the Sky Dragon Slayer."

"Dragon Slayers!?" Sora asked with a surprised tone in his voice. He remembered that one member of the guild mentioned that Fairy Tail was unstoppable now that they had 5 Heroes apart from three Dragon Slayers.

"Y-yes," the little girl said. "I know it might be difficult to believe, but-"

"Wow, that's amazing!" Sora said, surprising Wendy, who smiled and blushed a bit as she was getting embarrassed by Sora's praise.

"Natsu is also a Dragon Slayer," Happy said. "He's the Fire Dragon Slayer."

"Hardcore." Kiba commented. "How many have you guys slain?" Lucy, Carla, and Happy all sweat dropped as Wendy deflated.

"Uhh... well. Zero," She said sheepishly.

"Oh? How are you Dragon Slayers, then, if you don't mind my asking?" Cyrus inquired.

"It's more of a... uh... well, it's more of a name only kind of thing, I guess," Wendy said lamely. The Rangers nodded at this, deciding not to press the point any further for the moment.

"Wait, wasn't there a third one?" Reina recalled, curiously.

"Gajeel," Carla replied. "Didn't you talk with him when we were in the guild?"

"I don't think so," Ayumi replied, who didn't remember having talked with anyone called Gajeel. 

"What about Gray? What kind of mage is he?" Sora asked  while pointing his thumb at the still-arguing duo.

"He uses Ice-Make Magic," Lucy answered. "It's a type of Molding Magic which utilizes the element of ice. He can create a variety of objects out of ice to be used for offensive, defensive or miscellaneous purposes."

"Fire and Ice," Cyrus said, while looking at the two mages who were still arguing with their fists. "It makes sense why those two are rivals. And what kind of magic does Erza use?"

"Requip," someone replied, and the others could tell that it was Erza. "My magic allows me to store a lot of weapons and armors in pocket dimensions and summon them during battle."

"Oh, Erza, you're-" Sora stopped talking when he saw the amount of luggage the redhead mage brought with her. He wondered why she would need so many things.

"Wow..." Reina uttered in surprise. "That's a lot of luggage for one person."

"Let's get along together today!" Gray cheered as he and Natsu suddenly started dancing together.

"Aye, sir!" Natsu agreed in the same manner.

"'Aye'???" Sora, Ayumi, and Kiba blinked in confusion.

"Their attitude changed drastically when she arrived," Cyrus observed with surprise.

"That's Erza for you," Happy said, and then the train arrived.


"Blegh..."

Sora and the other Rangers soon found themselves on a train. Sora and Ayumi were sitting one side of a seat with Eclair and Momon (the latter being in the former's arms) while Lucy and Wendy sat in front of them with Carla in the middle of the girls.

Across from them in another seat was Reina, Cyrus, and Kiba on one side with Natsu, Gray, Erza and Happy on the other. Though the Dragon Slayer was hunched over in pain.

"As usual, you look horrible." Gray muttered to the pink-haired mage.

"Uhh, is he okay?" Ayumi asked, looking over at the Dragon Slayer.

"Aye, he has trouble with transportation." Happy said.

"You mean motion sickness?" Sora asked.

Happy nodded. "If Natsu gets on some form of transportation, then he gets sick."

"Well, that's a weakness that is..." Well, uncommon." Cyrus commented.

Happy then looked over at Wendy. "Can't you use your magic, Wendy?" He asked, while patting his friend on the back comfortingly.

"The more I use it, the less it works. So, I probably shouldn't." The young Dragon Slayer said, apologeticlly.

"I'm gonna hurl..." the pinkette moaned as he looked down, causing Cyrus, Kiba and Reina to slightly life their feet up in alert.

"Please don't." The Yellow Ranger muttered.

"Isn't there spell for that? Cause I really don't want Pinky throwing up on my shoes." Reina whispered to Cyrus.

"Well, since we have the Mystic Morphers, I suppose I could try something." Cyrus whispered back. "I just hope it works."

He then pulled out his Mystic Morpher and looked over at the groaning pinkette. "Hey, Natsu? I think I can help with your motion sickness." Cyrus said surprising everyone except for the Rangers.

"You can do that?" Wendy asked in curiosity.

"I think so, give me a sec," Cyrus said with a nod as he pointed his Morpher at the Dragon Slayer. "Here goes. Finishio!" He cast as blue magical energy surrounded Natsu as the EL group looked on in interest.

"What's he doing?" Gray asked Sora as Eclair looked over at the scene from the corner of her eye.

"He's using the 'Finishio' spell. It heals injuries, prevents allergic reactions, and hides from evil." Sora told him.

Natsu quickly sat up with a bit of surprise and couldn't feel any stomach pain anymore. "Whoa, I feel so much better now!" He exclaimed in joy. "It's like I got hit with Wendy's Troia spell!"

"Wow, that's amazing!" Lucy said with awe as she gazed at the Morpher. "I've never seen a magic item heal someone of motion sickness!"

"Wow...!" Momon gasped in awe, while Eclair looked on in surprise.

"How many spells do you guys have?" Wendy asked them.

"It's like what Sora said back at the guild: We'd be here all day if we listed all of the spells that we know." Reina replied, reminding the Sky Dragon Slayer and the other members of Team Natsu what the Red Ranger said.

"I've never seen magic like that before." Éclair softly spoke as she was still in awe at what she saw.

"Yeah, our spells are pretty cool." Kiba commented with a toothy grin on his face before looking at Éclair. "Am I right?"

Instead of responding to Kiba's question, Éclair just turned her head away from everyone and stared out the train window.

Lucy decided to use this chance to know more about the woman. "So Éclair, where do you come from originally?" She asked.

"I honestly don't know. I don't have any clear memories of it." Éclair responded in a neutral tone.

"Oh, you mean like a form of amnesia?" Ayumi joined in. "Is that why you can't remember any of it?"

"Perhaps that's the answer." Eclair uttered. "The odd thing is what I do remember is that I have never cared much about wizards. Especially the nosy kind."

Ayumi blinked at this while Lucy began to pout and looked away.

"Shame on you! Also she lacks of social graces, she's a good person at heart. So please forgive her rudeness." Momon apologized.

"Pointless chatter." Éclair blurted.

"Yeah, she's great." Lucy retorted sarcastically.

 "Don't worry. I'm sure she'll come around eventually." Ayumi told the blonde, reassuringly.


Later on, the group had arrived in Rose Garden, a bright-colored city overflowing with Magic.

 The Rangers were amazed as practically every establishment within sight used magic and sold magic items. From restaurants that poof meals to the table, theme parks with floating carnival rides and streets filled with market stalls that use magic to present their products such as ice cream shaped like snowman and teapot that pours into six teacups. There are also several armory stores that sell weapons and armor.

Besides the cable car trains, residents regularly fly on magic brooms and carpets as mode of transportation. Throughout the town there are small, floating lanterns and pillars with large cyan- colored Lacrimas at the top that light up at night. At the town's exterior lies several floating lights that form a ring around the city.

"Wow!" Ayumi exclaimed as her eyes sparkled, "This--Is-- AMAZING!!"

"Right? There's magic practically everywhere you look," Gray said in wonder.

"Either they're having a festival, or this is just a normal thing for them." Sora remarked gazing up at the lights.

"Nice..." Reina breathed, looking around the scene and the sights. "Definitely not Japan." 

"I'll say." Cyrus nodded as he fixed his glasses a little. "The view is something else."

"There's so many people here!" Kiba exclaimed as he took in the numerous faces around them.

"Yo, Happy! Let's grab some grub," Natsu said to his companion.

"Aye sir!" Happy agreed, sprouting his wings as he took off after his partner.

"Well... why don't we check into the Hills Hotel and enjoy ourselves tonight?" Erza spoke up. "But do remember that there may be some Hidiacs here, so we shouldn't let our guards down regardless. And that depends if and when they'll appear." 

"So basically, keep your guard up, but try to have some fun?" Sora nodded in understanding. 

 "Sound good to me!" Kiba grinned happily.

Soon, everyone went off to do their own thing, while the Rangers stayed behind. 

"So, what do we do now?" Cyrus asked his friends.

"Why don't we split off and go check out the sights?" Ayumi suggested with a shrug. "Plus, we can still keep in contact with our Morphers."

"In that case, I'll stay with Kiba just to make sure he doesn't get himself into trouble." Reina said, gesturing to the blonde with her thumb.

Kiba looked dumbfounded at this. "What makes think that I'll get myself into trouble?"

 Reina could only look at Kiba with a deadpanned expression on her face. But before she could speak, Kiba beat her to the punch. "Actually, you know what? Forget I asked. I don't want to know." 

"Well then, I wouldn't mind checking out the magic items they have on display." Cyrus informed them.

"Guess that leaves me and Ayu left." Sora said, looking at the Pink Ranger. "What are you going to do?"

Ayumi tilted her head in response. "Oh, umm..." She thought raised a finger to her chin.

"Why don't you two go look around together?" Reina suggested, causing the pair to look at her. "I mean, it's not like either of you has better plans."

Sora rubbed his head with a laugh. "Yeah, I guess you're right." He laughed before looking over at Ayumi. "What about you, Ayu?" 

The pinkette blinked at this as her heart leapt and her cheeks heated up. "Y-Yeah...um sounds great!" She replied meekly while playing with her hair.

"Great! Now, let's get a move on!" Kiba exclaimed before he took off in a random direction.

"HEY! DON'T GO OFF ON YOUR OWN!" Reina shouted as she soon gave chase.

Sora, Ayumi, and Cyrus all watched on with sweatdrops on their heads before the latter turned to the former pair. "With that, I'm gonna go check out their merch."

The Red Ranger nodded, "Sure thing. Hey, come on, Ayu." He grabbed her hand, pulling her along and she gasped. He looked back with a raised eyebrow and she tried to smile a little, laughing self-consciously. The three proceeded to head into town and enjoy the sights.

Soon, after everyone began exploring, although Eclair was still scornful about magic, as she and Momon tagged along with Lucy. Wendy and Carla visited the amusement parks, where they tried to play some games, but did get in trouble, Gray was also looking at other commodities, whilst having a snack, Natsu and Happy were eating a lot of food they could enjoy after the long train ride, so that he could put his motion sickness behind him. Erza, meawhile, visted the weapons shop, to check out many different swords and other types of melee gear that would suit her, and armor. When Lucy bought some ice cream, she wanted to give Eclair some, but she refused, leading to her disappointment. 

However, Erza saw a wedding dress that made her surprised, just as Wendy and Carla were passing by. They thought it'd be a perfect dress for her to try on. Of course, Gray did get in trouble with the guards for stripping down to his boxers. Poor Natsu and Happy, however, had to do some staff work in the kitchen, so that they could go free. Then Eclair looked at Lucy, as they continued to explore,

On the Rangers' side, the team was off and doing their own things. Cyrus was browsing over the many magic items on display, as well as the magic that the local mages were wielding.

Kiba and Reina came across someone showing off magic carpets, even offering the duo for ride. Of course, neither weren't going to pass up on that!

Sora and Ayumi wandered through the streets, taking in the sights and sounds of the city. During this, Ayumi was growing more self-conscious when it came to Sora, even though she'd always been very comfortable in his presence. But now, when the boy jokingly made a comment about her messily braided hair, she blushed and hastily combed back any stray hairs. Throughout their walk, she forced herself to keep at ease, but there were times when her guard was lowered and she felt her heart skip a beat.

It was then Sora noticed a space on the streets where children sat about, sketching out images with chalk. "Hey Ayu, you want to try that out?" Ayumi looked over at where he was gesturing before her eyes lit up. She bobbed her head eagerly and set off. She borrowed some colored chalk from the kids and set about drawing.

"Well, this is perfect for you." Sora grinned as he watched Ayumi have some fun.

"It's probably gonna take a while." She added and already sat down near the others. Sora followed her example, squatting.

As she said, Ayumi was drawing for at least an hour before she stood to her feet, wiping sweat from her brow at the large symbol of the Hero Force logo.

Some of the kids nearby came over, mouths open in awe at the art as it was surrounded by several townspeople they'd come across so far.

Sora looked on at their friend's work of art in admiration, then to the artist. Ayumi walked over to him after receiving several compliments.


A little while later, Team Natsu, Eclair and Momon soon met in the Hill Hotel, where everyone sat while Erza got the room keys. "You room keys? Yes. Just a moment, please." The clerk replied

"Thank you." Erza responds as she leans against the desk, smiling.

Natsu sighs as he seats back in his seat and glances at the red head knight. "Well,  Erza seems like she's in a way better mood than usual."

"I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the wedding dress she bought earlier." Wendy replied thoughtfully.

"WHAT!?" Everyone, minus Eclair and Momon exclaimed in disbelief.

"Problem?" Erza asked with a glare.

"Er, nothing!" everyone replied quickly.

It was then Momon noticed that a few faces weren't with them. "Hey, where are Sora and the others?"

The others then looked around and saw that the team wasn't with them. "Now that you mentioned it, I haven't seen them since we spilt up earlier." Gray spoke up.

"Maybe they lost track of time while looking around the city?" Lucy wondered outloud.

"It's likely," Carla commented, her arms folded. "Considering they're not of this world. Perhaps they wanted to take in the sights."

"That makes sense." Happy said in agreement.


It seemed like forever before some of the festival lights came to a close and it grew dark once more. The Rangers were now regrouped on a bridge and Ayumi rolled her shoulders. "Well, that was nice." She commented.

 "Yeah." Cyrus nodded, before looking around. "The magic items they had on display were something else. Much different from home."

"Dude, that's nothing. Reina and I got to ride on an actual flying carpet. It was so awesome!" Kiba exclaimed in glee.

"That we can all agree on." Sora spoke up. 

It was then Reina moved up beside Ayumi and whispered in her ear. "So, how was your day with Sora?"

Startled by the sudden question and appearance of her friend, Ayumi let out a squeak. "W-Wh-What!?"

This got the attention of their male teammates. "What's wrong, Ayu?" Sora asked her.

"Er, nothing!" Ayumi replied quickly with an awkward smile. "Nothing at all!"

The Red Ranger looked a bit confused by her behavior, when suddenly they were alerted by the sounds of screaming and explosions nearby.

They rushed to the side of the bridge where the sound came from, and looked down below. There was specks of light, and also some places on fire. "Sounds like trouble!" Ayumi stated, seeing what was happening down below.

"Hidiacs?" Cyrus suggested.

"Or the boss!" Kiba guessed.

"Maybe both." Reina chose.

"Only one way to find out." Ayumi said, as she led the group down the bridge.

"In any case, let's Ranger up." Sora said before pulling out his Mystic Morpher, prompting the other Rangers to do the same. "Ready!"

"Ready!" the others said as they put their morphers in wand mode, then pressed the three buttons.

"Magical Source, Mystic Force!"

(Morph sequence)

The screen split into five, Kiba in the top left, Sora in the top middle, Cyrus in the top right, Reina in the bottom left, and Ayumi in the bottom right.

Galwit Mysto Ranger

A spell shot out from their wands, creating a spell seal above each of them. Their Mystic spirits came ut of the spell seals and landed behind them, as they did their actions.

"Yah!" they yelled, jumping up.

They went through the spell seals, morphing up, then they turned as their helmets came on, before doing their Mystic hand poses.

"Yah!" they shouted.

(End morph sequence)


Back in the town, the townspeople continue to run away in fear as the Hidiacs continue to attack everything in their sight.

"Run as fast as you can, humans! Because no one will save you!" The Styxoid leader said maniacally, while its fellow grunts blasted everything in their sights with purple colored explosive slime balls from their mouths, creating explosions that caused more damage to the city with people running for their lives.

The Styxoid leader couldn't contain its laughter at the sight of these weak humans fleeing in fear. "That's right! Keep destroying everything in your way until there's nothing left!" He ordered his army to continue to cause chaos throughout the city.

"Leave them alone!" 

Everyone turned and saw the Rangers charged on the scene, which were tormenting a bunch of civilians.

Cyrus and Ayumi both turned around near a man, as the others began to fight the foot soldiers.

"Go!" Cyrus yelled.

"Get to safety!" Ayumi yelled, pointing forward.

All of the civilians began to run off as the Rangers kept the Hidiacs away.

"Ah, the Mystic Force." The Styxoid leader growled before pointing its weapon at the Rangers. "We know you have the Source! Hand her over!"

The other Rangers turned toward the grunt leader in confusion by what it said.

"The Source?" Sora questioned.

"Is said 'her'?" Kiba blinked. "Is it...talking about Eclair?"

"Well, Momon did say that those creeps were after her," Reina replied before remembering something what Éclair said.

"Whatever the reason is, we need to stop these guys now." Sora declared before turning to the two girl Rangers. "Ayumi, you and Reina get to the hotel to let the others know what's happening. Cyrus, Kiba, and I will deal with the Hidiacs."

"Are you sure?" Ayumi asked him, her tone laced with concern.

"No worries, we got this!" Kiba replied, giving a thumbs up.

"Divide and conquer, I can get behind that." Cyrus agreed with a nod.

"Oh no you don't!" The Styxoid leader commanded, throwing its hand out. "Attack!"

The Hidiacs all then charged at the Rangers, who responded in kind.

"Let's get 'em!" Sora shouted, bringing out his Magi Staff in sword mode. "Magi Staff!"

He slashed it against a Hidiac's axe as it tried to hit him, then he tried to slash another, but missed, but then he slashed a third across the chest, followed by a fourth. He jumped up and dived towards the Styxoid leader to slash it, but it blocked his sword with its staff, locking them together, before it lifted its staff up, knocking Sora back slightly. Sora ducked and spun around as it tried to slash him, before he blocked another with his sword as he backed away.

Kiba ducked as a Hidiac tried to slash him with its blade, before he grabbed its arm, then kicked its back, flipping it onto its back.

Cyrus grabbed one's arm as he spun around, before he pushed it away, then he spun around and kicked another's blade, making it flip onto its back.

"Go!" Sora called out to the girls.

"Got it." Reina spoke, turning her attention to her fellow female Ranger. "Come on, Ayu."

"...Okay," Ayumi responded with a nod, before the girls pulled out their Mystic Morphers to use another spell. "Mysto Aerotan."

Then two broomsticks appeared in front of the duo as they grabbed them in their left hands, as they then typed in the spell code 1-2-9, before throwing the broomsticks in the air as they pointed their Morphers at them.

"Galwit Mysto Aerotan!" Reina and Ayumi chorused as the broomsticks turned into hovering bikes called the Mystic Racers, as they was floated in the air. 

The girls then jumped onto their Mystic Racers and moved their hands in front of the Racer to pour their magic into the hover bikes, activating the engines.

"Firing, engines!" She said before placing both hands on the handle of the Mystic Racer. "Let's ride!" Reina then took off into the sky at high speed.

"Good luck, guys!" Ayumi called out to her friends, before flying after Reina.


Hills Hotel

After finishing her shower, Lucy exits the bathroom, with nothing but a towel as she joins with Éclair and Momon; The former looking out the window.

"Hey I'm done with the bathroom. If you like you can use it if you like." Lucy informed.

"..." Éclair continued to stare at the view of the town in silence.

"Éclair..." Momon trailed off.

Lucy frowned at this. "Listen, if you wish to be alone, I'm sure I can get another room." She said.

"I don't mind sharing." Eclair replied, surprising the duo. "The two of us are alike. We both have the same look in our eyes."

"What do you mean by that?" Lucy questioned.

"Your eyes. They serve as a window to your past." Eclair said, turning to face the blonde. "They tell me that you've known sadness. I never thought I'd see that in a magic user," she said.

"My eyes tell you that?" asked the celestial mage.

 Eclair continued on. "Those friends of yours...the five from earlier. They don't seem to be like any mages I've come across."

 "Huh...?" Lucy hummed in thought.

Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared behind them, and began to attack them with a small number of knives. Lucy, who was nearby, quickly dodged the projectiles as she ran to Eclair's side.

Soon, something emerged from within the shadows, revealing a figure whose face was hidden behind a white mask with black eye holes and red lines above the eyes.

 He wore a dark gray hooded cloak which is fastened just below the collar and hides most of his body. Under the lower half of his cloak, he wears gray trousers and boots.

"The calm acquiescence of a captive with a terrifying thrill of prey," The masked man said in a deep voice. "Choose."

"What? No!" Lucy remarked bravely.

"I'm not here for you," the assassin scoffed.

Realization hit the blonde as she looked back at Eclair, who was worried.

"Run, now!" Lucy said to her.

Eclair and Momon did so, just as the masked man launched at them. Lucy grabbed a nearby chair and hurled it at the man, which shattered upon impact.


Ayumi and Reina were seen flying through the air and saw that they were now approaching the hotel. "There it is!" The former called out.

"Ahhh!"

The duo perked at the sudden voice just as they saw Lucy jumping out of the window.

"Is that Lucy?" Ayumi questioned outloud. "Why is she jumping out of the hotel window while wearing a bath towel?" 

 As if to answer her question, they soon saw a hooded figure jumping out of the window and after the blonde. "If I had to guess, it's probably because of that." Reina noted. "Come on!"

The female Rangers poured more magic into their Racers to increase their speed.


Meanwhile, the Celestial Mage and Eclair ran for their lives with Momon flying beside them.

"Do you know what this guy wants from you?" Lucy asked the other woman.

"Above us!" Momon exclaimed just as the masked man hurled more knives from his sleeves.

The girls picked up their speed as they dodged the projecticles. "Into the alley! Quickly!" Lucy cried.

They did just that, but still the attacker pursued them. Suddenly they fell over a railing, bounced off the roof of a stall, and landed in a pile of sacks that seemed to cushion them.

"Eclair! Lucy! Are you okay!? Talk to me!" Momon cried as he stared down at them.

Above, the masked man glared at them. 

"Go forth and seek her blood, 'O blade of mine," he said, as a sword emerged from his sleeve.

"Eclair!" Lucy cried, holding said woman close to her.

The man then lunged at the pair with the intent to kill. But before his blade could strike...

"Magi Staff, Vine Power!"

 Several tree vines emerged from the walls surrounding the group and restrained him, surprising the assassin, the two girls, and the little bird.

"What!?" The masked man exclaimed.

"Vines...?" Eclair questioned in confusion.

At that moment, Ayumi and Reina showed up on their Mystic Racers, which they jumped off of. They both landed near the trio and got ready to face their foe.

"You guys! Thank God, you're here!" Lucy said with relief.

"Reina! Ayumi!" Momon chimed in with joy, happy to see the Rangers again.

Eclair's eyes widened in surprise at this, especially the suits that they were wearing. 

"Are you three okay?" Ayumi asked, looking over at them.

"We're fine, but where are the others?" Lucy asked as she didn't see them around.

"Do you remember the same the monsters that attacked you back in Magnolia?" The Pink Ranger asked. "Well, they're here looking for Éclair, but Sora, Cyrus, and Kiba are doing their best to hold them off."

"More importantly..." Reina cut in, pointing her Magi Staff at the trapped man. "Who the hell are you?"

"I don't know." Lucy told her. "He attacked us and said he's after Eclair!"

Before anything else could be said, the masked assassin used his sword to cut himself free from the vines before he landed on the ground.

Reina and Ayumi soon stood together as they got ready to face the man. "Who are you and what do you want with Eclair?" the latter questioned.

The man looked at them, taking in their appearances. "Knowing will not help you." He said, before drawing a set of three claws from his hands. "Now, stand aside."

"Yeah, how about you make us?" Reina challenged, before turning her Magi Staff into its Axe Mode. Ayumi soon pulled out her own Magi Staff as well.

"So be it." The masked man responded, holding out his claws.

"Yah!" the two Rangers yelled, charging forward.


Meanwhile back in the city, the trio of male Rangers were currently holding off the swarm of grunts and turning the tides.

Cyrus somersaulted forward before he landed on his feet, then he did a sideways handspring forward past several Hidiacs, then he jumped slightly and spun around, kicking one's blade, knocking it down. He turned and ducked as another ran past and tried to slash him with its blade, before he jumped and twirled around, then he landed crouched down. He rolled forward as one tried to slash his with its axe, before he spun around and tackled another, then he side flipped to his left as a third tried to slash his legs. He ducked as one ran past him, before he kicked another's blade, then spun around and kicked a third's, then he ducked as a fourth tried to slash her from behind with its blade, tackling a fifth as he did, then he got up, then did a jump spin kick, hitting a sixth's blade and knocking it down.

Kiba grabbed hold of a railing and jumped over it, kicking one away off another, before he put his feet onto a access disabled ramp, then he turned right. He ducked as another tried to slash him while running past him, before he put his hands on the back rail, then kicked his legs out, hitting a third's blade, making it stumble back. He then spun around and kicked a fourth's chest, knocking it down, then he turned and ducked as the third tried to slash him, before a fifth came over. He grabbed its forearm, before he knocked its arm up, knocking it over the railing, then he kicked another's chest, then spun around and kicked it again, knocking it down at the end of the ramp.

Sora and the Styxoid leader both jumped up as an explosion went off behind them, Sora with his sword, both diving while facing each other. The Styxoid leader blocked three slashes from Sora's sword with its staff, as they dived upwards, then it tried to whack him with its arm, but missed as he ducked. It then blocked a kick with its forearm, before he hit it slightly with his sword, sending it flying away.

"AH!" The grunt grimaced.

It landed on hus feet and looked up, before it waved its staff.

"Take this!" it yelled, shooting blasts from its wepaon.

Sora dived to his right as an explosion went off behind him.

"Back at ya!" he yelled, shooting magic from his Magi Staff.

The magic hit the ground behind the grunt leader, creating an explosion, knocking it up.

"AHH!" it screamed.

Sora landed on his feet, as Kiba and Cyrus came over to him, having completely destroyed the Hidiacs.

"Let's finish this, guys!" The Red Ranger declared.

"Right!" Cyrus and Kiba nodded, before they all held up their Magi Staffs. 

"Hyah!" they yelled, twirling them around.

They all held them up, then bent them back.

"Magi Staff, full power!" they shouted.

"Uh-oh..." The grunt leader gaped in shock.

The Magi Staffs all began to spin around, creating a Mystic Boomerang as they combined, before Sora held it up, as the others turned around and ducked.

"Suck on this! Mystic Boomerang!" Sora yelled as he threw the Mystic Boomerang towards the Styxoid leader. "Hyah!"

"AHH!" The leader screamed, as it hit it. "This can't be happening!"

Energy began to flow through it rapidly as it held it's chest.

"AHH! Master, forgive me!" the grunt screamed, before falling over and exploding.

"Checkmate!" Sora said.

"Heck yeah!" Kiba said, as they all caught their Magi Staffs.

"Now, we can go see if the girls are fine." Cyrus brought up.

"Right, let's move!" Sora nodded as the trio held up their weapons. "Mysto Aerotan."

Like the girls, a broomstick appeared in front of the boys as they grabbed them in their left hands, as they then typed in the spell code 1-2-9, before throwing the broomsticks in the air as they pointed their Morphers at them.

"Galwit Mysto Aerotan!" They chorused as the broomsticks turned into Mystic Racers, as they floated in the air.

They then jumped onto their Mystic Racers and moved their hands in front of the Racer to pour their magic into the hover bikes, activating the engines.

"Firing, engines!" They called before placing both hands on the handle of the Mystic Racer and blasted off into the sky at high speed.


Meanwhile, with the girls...

"Magi Staff, Axe Mode!" Reina shouted as the short staff turned into an axe.

"What..? Did that stick just turn into an axe?" Eclair thought in suprise.

The masked man looked on with surprise, before narrowing his eyes.

Reina then slammed her axe down on the ground, sending a wave of green magical energy into the ground which then moved towards the masked man as he immediately dodged the attack by jumping to the side.

"Oh no, you don't!" Ayumi called out, pointing her Magi Staff at the man. "Magi Staff, Wind Power!" 

A sudden gust of wind flew past the Pink Ranger and towards the masked man, blowing him backwards.

Skidding across the ground, the masked man soon came to a stop before looking back at the two Rangers, who regrouped.

"You give up or are you thirsty for more?" Reina taunted, twirling her axe in her hand.

The man didn't say anything as he glared at the pair. He thought that the mission of tracking down and capturing the girl for Prince Cream was supposed to be simple. But of course, the blonde haired girl had to interfere and make things complicated. And to make things worse, two brightly-colored wizards that are associated with the blonde haired girl showed up and made going after the target very difficult for him.

That was when he noticed the pink guild mark on Lucy's hand. "Fairy Tail, is it?" He remarked, before sinking into the ground within a pool of shadows.

"Wait!" Reina cried, rushing in to attack him. She leapt at him just as the masked man disappeared, causing Reina to fall to the ground. "Damnit!" She snorted as she raised her head, "He got away!"

"Yeah, but I have a feeling that we'll see him again," Ayumi stated as she and Reina de-morphed back to normal.

"There they are!" Kiba's voice called out, getting their attention as they looked up and saw the boys approaching from the sky on their Mystic Racers.

"It's Sora and the others!" Ayumi waved at them. "Hey, guys! Down here!"

The trio then jumped off their magic vehicles and landed near the girls.

"I take it everything went well?" Reina assumed.

"For the most part." Cyrus replied back. "Forunately, no one was seriously hurt in the process."

"What about you guys?" Sora asked the pair. "I thought you were at the hotel."

"We were, until we saw someone chasing after Lucy and Eclair." Ayumi informed them. "We managed to stop him, but he disappeared right before you guys showed up."

"Wait, so where are they now?" Kiba questioned, looking around for said girls.

Reina gestured behind herself. "Come on, they're over there."

With that, they then hurried over to check to see if Lucy and Éclair are ok.

"Did that jog any of your memory?" Lucy asked.

Éclair could only shake her head as she didn't remember a thing. Not yet.

"Hey!" Ayumi called out when she and the others arrived. "We brought the others!"

 "Is everyone okay?" Sora asked the group. "We heard what happened."

Lucy then stood up to infrom them. "Guys, someone is after Éclair. We got to find out why." She stated.

That was when she saw the team was all frozen as their eyes became white circles, with their faces being completely red; though the boys' faces were hidden by their visors. "What?" The blonde asked.

Though Ayumi was the first to snap out of it and quickly covered Sora's visor. "Lucy, your towel!" She squeaked out.

"Huh?" Lucy blinked her eyes before looking down and saw her towel had slipped off her body, revealing her entire birthday suit.  "AHHHHH!" She screamed in horror, quickly grabbing her towel and wrapping it around her body.

"I-I... I think I'm getting a nosebleed..." Sora said while Ayumi had her hands over his visor.

Lucy was comically crying while Kiba gave a slight chuckle. "They sure look real..." He commented.

Reina kicked Kiba into the air while she comically roared in anger. "CUT IT OUT! STOP LOOKING!" She howled before looking at Lucy. "What is wrong with you!?"

Lucy was continuously bowing her head. "I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!" she cried. 

Cyrus' glasses went limp from his eyes while he started stuttering nonsense, his head steaming in the process. "I-I saw too much." He said before turning away.

Unknown to any of them, Eclair's mind went blank as she stared in the Rangers' direction, more specifically, Sora. 

Although parts of his helmeted face was covered by Ayumi's hands, Éclair could barely make out Sora's visor. Which happened to be in the shape of a certain firebird....

Memories of a terrible massacre played again in Eclair's mind, and a elder man's voice told her to find a man called Kalard, a powerful wizard who could tell her the secrets of the stone.

"Eclair, are you okay?" Momon asked in concern, upon seeing the look on her face.

This snapped the woman out of her stupor before she smiled assuringly down at her little companion. "I-I'm fine. Let's just... get back to the hotel now."

To Be Continued...

Chapter Text



Fairy Tail Universe: Fairy Hills Hotel

"What!? Someone attacked Lucy and Eclair!?" Natsu exclaimed in shock.

"Not only that, the Hidiacs were also here too." Cyrus informed.

"Why?" Gray questioned as well.

After returning to the hotel, everyone now sat in Erza and Wendy's room the next day while they all spoke about the attack on the city and Eclair being chased.

"I think this must be what my pursuer was after," Eclair said, holding up half of a small stone with some kind of design on it.

"He wanted that stone?" Lucy asked as they all looked at the woman.

"I do sense a peculiar power emanating from it," Carla added from Wendy's arms.

Ayumi perked up at something. "Wait, if that's true, then that must be why the Hidiacs were sent here. Whoever is leading them must really want that stone!"

"Any idea who this Kalard guy is?" Reina asked them.

"No. This name is unfamiliar to me," Erza replied.

"Hey, don't feel bad. Whoever or whatever he is, he may have a clue as to why this stone is important." Kiba assured them.

"He's right. Eclair, do you have any idea as to why this stone has a lot of value in your life? It might have something to describe what's going on in your past," Sora said.

Eclair shook her head no.

"She told me she has no memory of its significance, but she's had it for as long as she can remember," Momon replied as he flew up next to her.

"Please tell us, Eclair. What exactly do you remember?" Ayumi asked.

"My past is blank, like an untouched canvas. Just white nothingness spreading out. Nothing to remind me who I am, or the reasons why I keep going. But lately, the image has been filling in, slowly. This stone must be a clue to my past," Eclair replied lowly and stared at the stone as if waiting for answer.

 "I bet if we find this Kalard guy, we might know more," Natsu spoke up.

"You don't by any chance know where we can find Kalard, do you?" Happy asked.

"I do, but I'm not quite sure who he is, or if I can still see him. Even if it's too late, I must go there," Eclair answered, placing the stone back on her necklace.

"Then we'll go with you," Sora said immediately. "If you're in that much of a hurry, we know a way to get you there faster than by train."

"You do? What is it?" Lucy questioned.


"Galwit Mysto Aerotan!" The Rangers said as their broomsticks magically turned into five different Mystic Racers, each with different colors for the Mystic Force Rangers as they were hovering in the air.

Soon, the Rangers led everyone outside in a big, empty area of the city where there's no people around

The jaws of Team Natsu and Momon dropped at what they saw the team do, as they turned broomsticks into hoverbikes. Even Eclair, who a disdain for magic has never heard or seen of a spell like the one the Rangers just used.

"Flying bikes!" Wendy cried out.

"Not just that! But a magic ones!" Lucy shouted.

"What kind of magic does that?!" Gray asked in shock.

"And why can't we do things like that?!" Happy asked in a surprised and complaining tone.

"Impressive..." Erza gasped in awe.

"More like, impossible," Carla countered. "I mean, how is magic like that even possible?!"

"Ugh...I'm getting sick looking at them." Natsu groaned as his face went green.

Eclair and Momon were suprised by what they witnessed.

The Rangers then jumped onto their Mystic Racer and moved their hand in front of the Racers to pour their magic into the hoverbike, activating the engines.

Reina looked back at them. "Well, what are you guys waiting for?" She snorted. "Pick a partner and get on."

"Wait, does that mean..." Wendy said before realizing the Rangers' idea.

"You guessed right. We're going to use the Mystic Racers and fly straight to the Boundary Forest." Cyrus replied with a grin.

Hearing that made Happy, Lucy, Momon, Gray, and Wendy look on with suprise at the idea, Erza had a look of interest to try flying on one of the Mystic Racers, and Natsu, Eclair and Carla weren't as excited as the others.

"This will definitely beat taking the train." Gray said as he got on to the Green Mystic Racer.

"It does seem more convenient than walking." Erza said getting on the Yellow Mystic Racer.

Lucy walked to the Blue Mystic Racer and sat down on it her feet hovering off the ground while keeping her balance on the bike. "Are you sure these things are safe?"

"Of course!" Kiba laughed slightly. "You're in safe hands."

"Wendy, please tell me you're not actually going through with this." Carla questioned said girl.

"But Carla, they're offering to give us a ride. Why should we refuse?" Wendy replied back. She then picked up the Exceed and moved over to the Pink Mystic Racer.

"No way am I getting on those things!" Natsu exclaimed as his cheeks flushed green. "I'll just fly there with Happy!"

"Aye sir!"

Sora then turned to look at Eclair, who merely stood on the side.  "I know you probably don't want to do this, but this pretty much the best option we've got."

"He's right." Reina spoke up. "And if that guy from last night is still after you, how's he going to get you when you're flying in the air?" 

"That is a fair point." Momon said, glancing at Eclair. "What do you say?"

Éclair remained silent until she, eventually, sighed and walked over to the Red Mystic Racer, with Momon behind her.

Just as Éclair and Momon got onto the Red Mystic Racer, Cyrus decided that now was best time to notify the Earth Land group about something important. 

 "Oh right, you guys may want to hold on tight because the Mystic Racers are pretty fast." 

 Lucy blinked at this before asking, "Wait, how fast are we talking here?"

As if to answer her question, the Rangers then poured magic into their vehicles, activating the engines as they roared to life, hovering higher in the air while they held on to the handles. "Let's ride!" Sora called out before they took off into the sky, with Natsu and Happy close behind.

"AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!" Lucy's scream of terror echoed through the air as the Racers blasted off at high speed.


"This freakin rocks!" Gray shouted while enjoying this new experience.

"I agree. This is a lot more easier to ride than I thought," Erza commented, feeling like they were one with the wind and birds soaring over the horizon.

"It feels amazing!" Wendy said feeling the wind on her face and her heart racing in excitement with such a breathtaking thrill. "Don't you think so too, Carla?"

 "I still find it hard to believe that they do something like this in the world where they're from!" Carla retorted.

"Enjoying the ride, Lucy?" Kiba asked said blonde.

"Define 'Enjoy'!" Lucy exclaimed holding onto Cyrus for dear life. This was of travel was crazy! 

"We'll get to the forest in no time, thanks to these bikes!" Cyrus said, trying to ignore the Celestial mage's breasts pressing against his back.

Then Momon peeked from behind Eclair's back with a smile on his face.

"Your powers really are something. Looks like we owe you one." He said to the Rangers.

"Thanks, but it was nothing really." Sora nodded to him.

"Everyone, we'll be reaching the forest soon." Éclair said as they were flying up higher than a forest of trees. 

"Then we don't have a second to waste. Let's hurry." Natsu said, with Happy increasing his speed to fly faster.

"Aye!"

Soon, the group finally reached a clearing within the forest before they hopped off the Mystic Racers with their vehicles disappearing in the air.

Suddenly, Lucy was on her hands and knees because her legs felt like jelly as she was now trying to catch her breath from the ride she was on.

 "That was so fast..." Lucy uttered between breaths. "I don't think I've ever gone that fast before..." 

 Kiba tried to bring some levity to this situation by asking her, "Did you wet yourself?" 

 That question caused an irk mark to appear on Lucy's head as she instantly brought her head up to glare at Kiba. "As if!" 

"Woah..." Wendy felt the blood rushing to her head as she tried to stand.

"Wendy! Are you okay?" Carla asked while Ayumi helped her stay up.

"Yeah, I'll be fine... Just a little dizzy." Wendy wasn't scared heights or anything, she flew around with Carla all of the time so it definitely wasn't that. It was just the constant feeling of going up and down, like riding on a roller-coaster with no seat-belt.

Taking in their surrounding, the group caught sight of the remains of a stone building with veins growing over it.

"Whoa! He lives here!?" Natsu asked in surprise.

Éclair rushes over to find out what's going on, with the others close behind.

"It looks super old." Happy commmented, loooking around at the remains.

"More like ancient." Gray added in a low tone.

"Hey!" Lucy hissed reproachfully.

"He's got a point," Reina cut in. "This place is in shambles. From what I can tell, it's been around for a while."

Éclair started to look around and only to see a secret passage that leads to the basement. Curiosity got to her so Éclair heads down there with the Power Rangers and Team Natsu following behind. They only see a table and some books around and no one isn't here. Also there is some stuff on the shelves.

"This is more like the home of a wizard." Erza commented.

"Yeah. It sure does." Ayumi agreed.

Éclair gasped as she spotted a picture which shows a man, a woman, and a child that resembled Eclair.

"You find something?" Lucy asked.

Everyone gathered around the brunette as she pressed two fingers to the painting, a solemn look on Eclair's face. "That's me... it's a picture of me when I was a small child." She pointed out.

"Really?" Cyrus asked.

Suddenly, a flash of light erupted from a lacrima crystal ball in front of the woman. "Get away from it!" Natsu yelled warningly as he stood protectively in front of Lucy and Happy. 

Erza pulled Wendy and Carla back, while Gray and the Rangers rushed over in case something bad happened.

"Eclair," A man's voice said as the hologram start to show an old man from the orb. "So you've come. If this message reaches you, my child, then what I was told is indeed true. Many people come to search for you, the survivors of the village told me what had transpired; it had brought me great joy to hear you survive the massacre. However, when I think of your fate *Cough*." Kellard said in the hologram.

"Wait a minute, what does he mean by that?" Gray wondered, taking a step back.

"My sweet Éclair. The time we share together brings precious memories of my entire life. Alas, the fate of the people of the fire village needed you to serve as their maiden and alone, I was given the task to dispel the Phoenix Stones."

"Dispel magic... nullification." Éclair pointed out.

"I have no doubt that you are a spectacular maiden... my dispel magic was finally completed, but I fear that I don't have a chance to use it. I've fallen ill, I'm clutching to the life I dearly have left until you return bearing the stone but if you're seeing this... oh Éclair..."

"So he's already gone. It's so sad." Wendy commented.

"Yeah..." Cyrus trailed off.

"I have a simple prayer that happiness finds you; that you find people that care deeply for you. Darling Éclair, my dear beloved daughter." Kellard continued.

"Father... I'm here..." Éclair said in sadness.

She reached her hand to feel her father's grasp. But the moment she touched it, the lacrima crystal ball then shattered into pieces and Éclair was left to mourn deeply of her father's death.

"So Kalard... was Eclair's father," Sora murmured, as he looked down at the ground.

"Sora..." Ayumi said, pulling him into a hug.

"We should set up camp for tonight," Erza told the others.


Later that night...

  Éclair would get some alone time for herself and perform a dance that she remember doing back at the ceremony four hundred years ago within a clearing lit up by the full moon.

Meanwhile the Rangers and Team Natsu made camp nearby as Kiba, Cyrus, Gray and Natsu returned to the others. 

"Anything?" Reina asked.

"No luck." Cyrus replied with a head shake.

"We looked through every book and stack of paper down there, but we couldn't find anything about his dispel magic." Gray added.

"I see. The real issue is the spell that's been cast on the Phoenix Stone," Erza sighed. 

Team Natsu and the Rangers watched silently as Éclair slowly danced and mourned the loss of her father. 

 "Kalard made a point of mentioning his work on trying to lift it from the stone. That tells me it was particularly troublesome. And perhaps, particularly malevolent," the redhead continued. 

 Finally, Éclair dropped to the ground, her eyes filled with tears, and Momon came to her side and wept. And then, Lucy walked silently towards her. 

 "I know how you feel. I lost my father not too long ago, and I wasn't able to be there by his side," Lucy sobbed softly. 

 Hearing that caused Éclair to sob softly as Lucy crouched to the ground and hugged her.

 "He wanted you to find happiness, and people who care for you," Lucy continued, comforting the woman. 

 "That was his final wish," Éclair spoke as Lucy then pulled away from the hug. 

 "Éclair... you found one of those people in me," Lucy assured the woman with a tearful smile. 

 Hearing that caused tears to flow out of Éclair's eyes as she hugged Lucy, the latter returning the hug and comforting her as Team Natsu and the Rangers watched the scene with smiles on their faces. 

 Lucy and Éclair continued hugging each other for a few more minutes until they joined back with the others at the campfire. 

"I'd like to make a formal request of the Fairy Tail guild and the Power Rangers: my father has spent his final days trying to rid the Phoenix Stones of the curse they carry. Will you help me to achieve it?" Éclair requested.

"We will gladly accept." Erza accepted.

"It's our pleasure." Natsu added.

"Aye, sir." Happy also said.

"Sounds like you could use our help." Sora stated. His team nodded in agreement.

"Of course." Cyrus replied.

"We're willing to help." Ayumi answered.

Kiba thumped his chest as he joined in, "Like we're gonna say no?"

"Hmph," Reina smirked at the woman. "You got it!"

Eclair smiled in reponse. "You have my thanks."


???

Within the ancient castle ruins, a loud roar was heard thoughout the area.

 "I don't believe this! Not only is the Mystic Force still alive, but they still continue to protect the Source?!" Morticon exclaimed as he struck the ground with his sword.

 One Styxoid stepped forward. "Send me, Lord Morticon! I'll do a much better job of destroying those wizards and bringing you the Source!" It vowed.

Another one followed suit. "No, send me! I'll do a much better job than this weakling." 

 "Enough!" Morticon bellowed, silencing both of them. "Though our forces are great in numbers and in power, we can't afford any more failure as long as the Mystic Force continue to interfere with our mission of taking the Source's powerful magic for our own. We must be clever about this. We will wait until the Source is alone- far enough away from those meddling wizards. And when the time is right, we will take the Source's power and use it to destroy the Mystic Force and conquer the Surface World!"

 While the Hidiacs and Styxoids cheered in agreement of the plan, Morticon sat back in his throne and laid his sword in his lap as he stared into the flat side of his weapon. 

"Just you wait, Mystic Force. Once I have claimed the Source's magic for myself, I will enjoy making you pay for destroying the Master and your constant meddling." He swore vengefully.


Magnolia Town

Soon afterwards, the Power Rangers, Team Natsu, Eclair, and Momon had returned back to the Fairy Tail guild early the next morning, and explained the situation to the others.

Macao hummed as he studied the Phoenix Stone, pinched between his index finger and thumb. "Can't say it looks dangerous to me."

"Considering how badly the Hidiacs and the masked guy were after it, that says otherwise." Reina retorted.

"Maybe breaking the stone will break the curse?" Happy suggested, looking at Natsu.

"Now that's using your head! Let me see!" Natsu said, snatching the stone from Macao and throwing it up into the air. He then leapt into the air as fire enveloped his hands. "Fire Dragon's Wing Attack!" 

Fire burst forth and slammed into the stone, but it had no effect whatsoever when they died out.

"Natsu, you idiot! Do you seriously call that using your brain!?" Macao snapped, glaring at the male pinkette.

"It wasn't my idea..." Natsu murmured, sitting cross legged on the floor.

"That's one tough stone." Kiba commented, gazing at the said object.

Erza snapped as she stood behind the mage with her hands on her hips. "If it were truly that easy to break, don't you think Kalard would have done that!?"

Eclair takes back the stone as Gray mutters, "Real smooth." The others laughed at the scene in amusement.

"The other stone...do you have any idea where it is now? Or what happened to it?" Cyrus asked Eclair.

Pressing a finger to her temple, Eclair narrowed her eyes in thought. "I'm not certain. But I think that it was stolen in a raid by Vero...nica?" she said.

'Veronica?' The Rangers thought in confusion. 

 "Who's Veronica?" Kiba asked while scratching his head with his finger. Happy snickered before correcting the Yellow Ranger. 

"Veronica's not a place. It's actually the name of a country."

 "You know that place?" Ayumi asked with a raised eyebrow. 

 "Aye," Happy replied before continuing. "Veronica's the name of a country that's north of Fiore and it's super tiny." 

 "What's on your mind, Cy?" Sora asked Cyrus, noticing the thoughtful expression on his face. 

 Cyrus blinked as he realized that he was now the center of attention. "Oh, well, I've been thinking. If this Veronica place- or whoever's in charge of that country- orchestrated the massacre that Kalard mentioned to obtain the Phoenix Stones, then is it possible that they could have also hired that masked guy that attacked Lucy and Éclair back in Rose Garden?"

Everyone's eyes widened in realization at the Blue Ranger's words, though that was when Sora felt something wrong as the sound of cannon fire came from outside.

"Get down!" Sora cried, as the guild began crumbling from a group of vicious attackers, destroying most of it.

Everyone scrambled for cover as best they could. When the dust slowly began to settle, everyone saw that the guild was in shambles and members were scattered.

Ayumi groaned, "Uhh...is everyone alright?" She asked. She looked to see that they were nodding. She sighed in relief.

"Kiba?" Cyrus asked turning to Kiba who had Reina lying across his stomach. 

Kiba coughed dust out of his mouth, "Is it me? Or is it rainin' cannons?" He asked.

"What the hell was that?" Reina questioned getting off of the blonde and rubbing her head from the pain.

Sora blinked his eyes for a second and turned to the entrace, only to see that standing before them were three people in front of the guild. "I think we have a bunch of party crashers, guys."

One was a tall, muscular man with slightly brown skin. He has brown hair, straightened up and flattened on top, sideburns and a beard. He wore a dark green sleeveless shirt and brown trousers with a black belt. He also wore dark red armor on his left arm, from his wrist up to his shoulder, and a dark red fingerless glove on his left hand. This was Cannon.

The second was a woman long wavy blonde hair which went down to her waist, as well as dark gray eyes. She wore red lipstick, earrings and a light blue hair band. There was a feather-like decoration on the left side of her headband with a round blue gem surrounded by a white spiral.

Her attire included a light blue band with an emblem on it around her upper chest as well as gray arm bands and blue bracelets on each arm. She wore a set of large gray faulds around her waist, open at the front and extending down just past knee level, a black belt fastening the faulds around her waist and thigh-high leg armor. This was Coordinator.

The last one in the center was a man with long, unkempt turquoise hair and narrow eyes with small irises and pupils. He wore a black coat and mantle with silver highlights, white boots and white gloves. The edges of his coat and mantle had large triangular edges. This was Dyst.

"Who the heck are those guys?" Kiba wondered softly as he stared at the three attackers. 

"If I had to guess, I'd say that those three must be affiliated with that masked guy that attacked Lucy and Éclair," Cyrus surmised, quietly informing the other Rangers.

"If that's true, then we'll have to be careful with them," Sora whispered to his friends. "We don't know what those three are capable of."

"Who in the hell are you!?" Natsu demanded as he got to his feet and glared at the attackers.

"We are known as Carbuncle."  The man in the middle of the group sneered. "The garnet adorned beast that's forever lurking in the shadows, and you may call me Dyst."

Upon saying that, massive pile of rocks floated around Dyst and his comrades, before launching straight at the male pinkette, knocking him back across the guild, pelting him repeatedly.

"Natsu!" Everyone called.

The dragon slayer was now being pummeled to the ground, until he was knocked out.

"You bastard!" Gray snapped angrily as the tall man stepped forward and aims his cannon right towards Gray.

"Yo, pretty boy! You're just in time for a hot date with the cannon." Cannon taunted, licking his lips.

"Say what!" Gray shouted.

Juvia, who was nearby, twitched in anger at what she assumed the man was implying.

"You will never win the heart of my beloved, so don't even try!" Juvia warned, pointing at the man.

The man looked dumbfounded at the mage's words. "Uh.  You got the wrong idea, lady." Cannon countered.

The Rangers all stared at Juvia with 'you're kidding' gazes.

"Liar!" Juvia began to blast water towards the man, but he shot three bullets from his gun. 'Those bullets won't hurt me. I am water.' She thought.

However, much to her shock, they turned out to be magic bullets and they blasted through not only her water attack, but also her water body.

Gray appeared in front of the Water Mage user as he threw up an Ice Shield, blocking the bullets. But the man only summoned two cannons over his shoulders and start firing at the water wizard and Gray, knocking them backwards.

Two other mages, Alzack and Bisca, shot at the attackers with their Gun Magic having a little shoot out. Elfman and Mirajane transformed with their Takeover magic to fight them off.

"Here comes a real man!" Elfman roared loudly.

Coordinator stepped in and started to dispel them of their magic, making them vulnerable to the cause. Cannon then used his cannons and blasted them away.

"What pitiful excuses for takeovers." Coordinator boasted.

"Lucy, keep Éclair safe." Erza ordered.

"You can count on me." Lucy responded.

Erza equips into her Black Wing Armor to attack. Seeing the red head up, Coordinator extended her hand and dispels Erza's armor, returning her into a blouse and skirt.

"It appears that even Titania knows her place to kneel before the Coordinator." Coordinator taunted as a sword appears in her hand.

Coordinator begin to use her Requip magic to change into a purple and white suit. The armor mainly consists of a breastplate which is open in the middle, pair of gauntlets, an open white skirt with purple trimming, a gray belt with a brown buckle, and leg armor. Underneath the armor, Coordinator wore a white band around her upper chest with her guild's emblem on it and white leggings. She also wore a white headband with a pair of wing-like decorations.

After requipping, Coordinator launched to attack Erza, delivering some brutal blows and sending the fairy queen flying into a wall.

"This is bad!" Cyrus said pushing up his glasses. "They're overpowered now!"

"Ah jeez...!" Kiba uttered.

"What'll we do?" Ayumi asked in worry before looking at Sora who was angry.

He just balled up his right fist in rage, as he couldn't forgive any one of these bastards for what they did.

"I'd say, no more sitting around and doing nothing while our friends are getting their asses handed to them!" Reina exclaimed, punching her fist.

"Rei's right." Sora finally spoke, pulling out his Mystic Morpher. "Let's show these bastards REAL power. Are you guys ready?" 

 The other Rangers followed his lead. "Ready!" 

The Rangers jumped out into the center of the room, side by side and ready for action.

"Hey!" Sora shouted. "Why don't you guys try your luck against us?"

"Guys!" Lucy called out, as she, Eclair, and Momon were hidden by some debris.

"Well, well." Cannon smirked darkly. "Another couple of punks waiting to be blown away."

"Who are you calling punks?" Reina asked angrily. "It's the Power Rangers to you! And don't you forget it!"

"That we won't." Coordinator replied. "And we'll engrave it on your tombstone, to be sure."

Dyst narrowed his eyes as he took in Ayumi and Reina's appearance. "I see. So you must be the ones who got in Chase's way the other night." He assumed.

Ayumi blinked at that. "Wait, who's Chase?" She asked.

 "I think he's the masked guy with the blades that you and Rei fought in Rose Garden." Kiba replied to her.

 Cyrus pushed up his glasses. "So, I was right. These three are affiliated with that masked guy."

 Sora narrowed his eyes at the attackers. "And let me guess, your boss in Veronica ordered you and your group to attack us because Éclair has the other half of the Phoenix Stone?" He assumed.

Everyone looked on at that question as they turned their attention to Eclair, who was also surprised by what she heard.

Cooridnator and Cannon looked shocked by that question, while Dyst remained quiet.

"Well, aren't you well informed." He acknowledged as he held out his hand. "Speaking of the girl, if you would be so kind to hand her over, we'll be on our way." 

To his surprise, none of the Rangers felt threatened by what Dyst said, as they just glared deeply at the group with the looks of heroes ready to take down a villain. If anything it only made the Hero Force Rangers resolve to take down Carbuncle even stronger than before.

"How's this for an answer?" Sora said bluntly, as he and the others pulled out their Mystic Morphers. "Ready?!" He asked his teammates.

"Ready!" They shouted back at him.

Lucy smiled when she saw this as she knew what was coming, but everyone had questionable looks on their face as they didn't recognize those items in the heroes' hands.

"It's Morphin Time!" They all shouted together, as they activated their Morphers.

The screen split into five, Cyrus on the top left, Reina on the top right, Kiba on the bottom left, Ayumi on the bottom right, and Sora in the middle. They held their morphers down, as the ends extended out, forming a wand tip, and pressed the buttons 1, 2 and 3.

"Magical Source, Mystic Force!" they shouted, doing the morph action.


(Morph sequence)

Galwit Mysto Ranger

A spell shot out from their wands, creating a spell seal above each of them. Their Mystic spirits came ut of the spell seals and landed behind them, as they did their actions.

"Yah!" they yelled, jumping up.

They went through the spell seals, morphing up, then they turned as their helmets came on, before doing their Mystic hand poses.

"Yah!" they shouted.

(End morph sequence)


After the morph was complete, Lucy had a look of joy on her face from seeing the Rangers morph again, while the Fairy Tail and Carbuncle mages both had a look of shock and confusion on their faces with widened eyes.

The Rangers all began doing their fight poses, with an explosion going off behind each of them. 

"Green Mystic Ranger!"

"Pink Mystic Ranger!"

"Blue Mystic Ranger!"

"Yellow Mystic Ranger!"

"Red Mystic Ranger!"

They all stood at ease, before they held their right fists up.

"We call forth the magic, together as one, united for all time!" they declared, holding their left fists up, before touching their chests, then they held up their left fists, the others their right.

Then suddenly, a giant version of the Mystic Force Rangers logo on it appears behind them, shining brightly.

"Power Rangers Mystic Force!" they yelled as explosion went off behind them all.

To Be Continued...

Chapter Text

Last Time:

After the morph was complete, Lucy had a look of joy on her face from seeing the Rangers morph again, while the Fairy Tail and Carbuncle mages both had a look of shock and confusion on their faces with widened eyes.

The Rangers all began doing their fight poses, with an explosion going off behind each of them.

"Green Mystic Ranger!"

"Pink Mystic Ranger!"

"Blue Mystic Ranger!"

"Yellow Mystic Ranger!"

"Red Mystic Ranger!"

They all stood at ease, before they held their right fists up.

"We call forth the magic, together as one, united for all time!" they declared, holding their left fists up, before touching their chests, then they held up their left fists, the others their right.

Then suddenly, a giant version of the Mystic Force Rangers logo on it appears behind them, shining brightly.

"Power Rangers Mystic Force!" they yelled as explosion went off behind them all.



After the Power Rangers got done announcing themselves to everyone present, all the Fairy Tail mages' eyes popped out of their heads, and their jaws hit the floor in shock at the absurd sight. 

From their hiding spot, Lucy and Eclair both watched the ongoing battle between the Rangers and the enemy.

'W-What did they just do?! Did they just use Requip magic?' Eclair thought in wide-eyed surprise at the Rangers' appearance, as they transformed into colorfully costumed heroes and used an unknown power she felt that wasn't magic at all. 'And what was that unbelievable power I just felt?! It didn't feel like the slightest trace of magic!' She thought in confusion at the unfamiliar terms, her eyes focused on the Mystic Rangers down below.

"You got this guys! Show those jerks who's boss!" Lucy's mentally cheered them on while looking down below.

Sora had hoped that the sight of this was enough to terrify Carbuncle to the point that they would have regretted picking a fight with the team of heroes.

Which it successfully did as the trio's eyes slightly widened in surprise at this unknown power that sent a small tingle down their spines.

"This power..." Dyst whispered in shock from both the morph and Grid Energy he felt.

"Are they Requip Wizards?!" Cannon yelled out in shock. "Chase told us about the outfits, but he didn't tell us that they can change into them!"

Coordinator snapped out of her shock and scoffed. "So what if they can use Requip Magic. If these five are anything like Titania, then I'll have no problem showing them their place."

Coordinator thrusted out her hand to dispel their suits...only for them to still have them. "W-What!?" She exclaimed as she thrusted her hand out again, getting the same results. "I can't dispel their Requip magic!"

"Aww, what's the matter? Having trouble taking away our uniforms? That's too bad!" Kiba snickered.

"If you guys still want to fight, then how about we take this outside?" Ayumi asked, holding up her weapon. "Magi Staff, Wind Power!" She yelled as her cape transformed into giant, pink, butterfly-shaped wings and used them to unleash a powerful gust of wind that blew Carbuncle out of the Fairy Tail guild.

"Nice, Ayu!" Reina said, swinging her Magi Staff. "Now, let's go kick some ass!"

"Right!" The others agreed before making their way out of the guild, though Cyrus stopped and looked back at the Fairy Tail mages.

"You guys look after Eclair. We'll handle them!" He declaired, then ran after his friends.

"Hey wait!"

"They're leaving!"

"Did you guys see those suits!? They were Requip magic like Erza!"

"But I thought they didn't use magic."

"Who cares? If they're willing to fight those guys, I'm not missing this!"

"Let's go after them and see!"

"Hold on, we have injured to deal with!"

Despite the Rangers leaving the guild to take on Carbuncle, Éclair kept her focus on them. Because of that, she didn't notice someone placing a hand on her shoulder, snapping her back to her senses. When she turned her head, she saw that it was Lucy who placed a hand on her shoulder. 

 "Don't worry. I won't let anything happen to you," Lucy assured her with a smile and a determined look on her face.

While both Lucy and Éclair were focused on the Rangers, they failed to notice a familiar dark shadow appearing behind them.


The trio of Carbuncle were thrown across Magnolia, though they were all able to regain their balance and land on some buildings. 

"Well, seems like those suits weren't just for show." Cannon remarked, rolling his neck. "I thought Chase was just pulling our legs with that crap."

Dyst was silent, recalling what Chase informed them about.

'Be warned. If you see a bunch of kids wearing color-coded uniforms, steer clear. They appear to posses strange magic that's never been seen.'

"I don't know who those other three are," Dyst replied. "But they, along with the green and pink ones, will fall like those Fairy Tail wizards."  

"If only it would be that easy," Coordinator clicked her tongue in annoyance. "My Dispel Magic should've canceled that Requip Magic of theirs! So why didn't it happen?!"

"Calm yourself, Coordinator." Dyst told her, raising a hand. "It's nothing more than a minor setback. We'll just show them what real power is."

It was at that moment the five Rangers appeared on a rooftop across from the trio as they stared each other down.

"Magi Staff, Crossbow Mode!"

The trio looked up and saw Kiba now firing off multiple lightning bolts down at them. This caused Coordinator, Cannon, and Dyst to run off in opposite directions in order to evade them, while avoiding the resulting explosions.

"Attacking from a distance..." Dyst noted aloud.

"Heehee..." Cannon giggled with a wide grin. "They're certainly feeling feisty..." 

"Terrible shot!" Coordinator remarked as she turned around... and then the ground beneath her feet shifted, "What?!" she screamed before the ground burst open as two large vines wrapped around her, dragging the woman into the ground with a crash. Meanwhile, the bolts headed towards Cannon and actually exploded just behind them, propelling him into the river that the Rangers came across before.

"What?!" Dyst exclaimed in surprise, only for Sora to suddenly close in on him with his weapon deployed.

"Magi Staff, Fire Power!" he yelled, swing his blade of fire that struck her foe, making him gasp in agony as he slid back.

Sora landed on the ground and stared his opponent down. "Now, you gotta deal with me!"

Dyst climbed to his feet and glared deathly at the Red Ranger. "Damn you...!"


With Cyrus and Kiba

Elsewhere on a street near a river, Cyrus and Kiba jumped down and looked around aimlessly for Cannon.

"I know I knocked him into the water somewhere..." The latter muttered out. "Kinda sucks that we can't sense magic."

"Don't relax yet. He could be anywhe-" It was then Cyrus heard something splashing through the water in the canal in front of them. "Look out!" He cried out, just as magic bullets were being fired at them.

Both boys leapt to the sides as the bullets missed them, right before Cannon jumped out of the water and onto the other side of the river.

"Well, seems like you Fairies just can't get enough of me, huh?" He smirked.

 "After what you and your associates did to our friends at Fairy Tail, we can't let people like you get away with it." Cyrus declared firmly.

"Yeah! And who are you calling a 'Fairy'?" Kiba exclaimed, pointing at the man dramatically. "Do we look like little, magical fireflies to you?!"

Cyrus sweatdropped at this. "Kiba, I think the reason he called us that is because we're members of Fairy Tail." He informed his friend.

Kiba was quiet for a second. "...I-I knew that."

Their conversation was cut off as Cannon began firing at them, causing the pair to dodge out of the way. 

Once he was cleared, Cyrus pointed his weapon at the man. "Magi Staff, Water Power!" Two columns of water shot from the river and launched at the gunman. Though, he easily avoided the attack by leaping into the air.

"Got'cha!" Kiba yelled, jumping up with his own weapon and crossed his forearms. "Magi Staff, Lightning Power!" 

He shot lightning bolts from it, hitting Cannon's weapon and destroying it in the process.

"No!" Cannon exclaimed at the lost of his weapon, before glaring at the Yellow Ranger. "You're gonna pay for that!"

The man retaliated by summoning several cannons from before over his shoulders and aiming them at Kiba.

"Reflectus Targo!" Cyrus said as he pointed his Morpher to the ground with magical energy coming out of it.

Suddenly a giant mirror came out of the ground in front of Kiba to protect them.

"You think a mirror is going to stop me?" Cannon cockily asked before he fired his cannons at the mirror, only for the projectiles to get reflected right back at the gunman. "Agggh!" He cried in pain as he was hit by his own explosion that pushed him back into water.

"Whoa. Thanks for the save, man." Kiba said, bumping his shoulder against Cyrus.

 The Blue Ranger waved him off. "Don't mention it. So, should we finish this?" 

 Kiba snorted in reponse. "Like you need to ask." 

The duo stood back to back and held out their weapons towards Cannon, who was struggling to his feet.

 "Magi Staff, Water Power!" 

"Magi Staff, Lightning Power!" 

"Combine Magic! Sea Storm Blast!"

Suddenly, a burst of magic flew from their weapons as two columns of water, surging with electricity, rotated around each other like a helix and launched towards Cannon.

The gunman looked up and could only gape in shock before the electric-surged water blast slammed into him with tremendous force.

Once the attack died down, Cannon fell into the water and floated on his back without irises in his eyes.

"We did it!" Kiba exclaimed. "Now that's what I call a shocking splash!"

Cyrus looked at his friend with a deadpan look. "Wow, really?"


With Ayumi and Reina

The two female Rangers were having a standoff with Coordinator, who was now hovering above them in the air and dressed in primarily gold armor with red clothing underneath. The upper half of the armor consisted of a breastplate open at the middle, gauntlets with sharp claw-like fingers and pauldrons, the right one with wing-like decorations. The lower part of the armor consisted of faulds and leg armor, each with a large wing, with a red, white and black eye pattern on it, and talon-like feet. Underneath the armor, Coordinator wore gloves and a bodysuit, starting at upper chest level, with a circle cut out around her lower chest. She also wor a blue headband or a winged helmet. She was even wielded a large scythe

"So your plan was to separate us?" She inquired as she gripped her scythe tightly. "I find that rather disingenuous..." she admitted.

"Pfft, right. That's funny coming from the one with crappy fashion sense." Reina retorted with a snort.

Coordinator was taken back by that comment. "What?"

Ayumi tilted her head. "You got a point, Rei." She agreed, gesturing to their foe. "I mean, I love make up as much as the next girl, but aren't you wearing a bit too much?"

"Maybe she's trying to compensate for something." Reina snickered outloud.

A tick mark appeared on Coordinator's head. "You two think you're funny!?" She snarled before flying towards the duo. "Well, let's see if you're laughing after this!"

Ayumi and Reina both jumped back as Coordinator swung her scythe down on the building, causing an explosion that sent debris and dust flying.

The dust cleared as Coordinator shot foward with the intent to attack the girls. Though, Ayumi quickly held her weapon and  waved her arms around, as her cape turned into large wings, before she crossed her forearms over.

"Magi Staff, Wind Power!" she shouted as her wings flapped back and forth, unleashing a powerful gust of wind that halted the Requip mage's attack.

Coordinator, who recognized the attack as the same one that sent her and her comrades out of Fairy Tail, stood her ground by planting her feet and the shaft of her scythe into the roof of the building she was on just as the force of pressure then slammed into her, though she hadn't been moving an inch as she used her free arm to protect her face.

 "Do you really think that you can defeat me by using that same trick twice?" She asked with a smirk as she began to power through the wind to reach the Pink Ranger. 

"No, but it opened a spot for me!" Reina smirked and held up her staff. "Magi Staff, Axe Mode!" The short staff turned into an axe which further surprised the woman yet again "Take this!" Reina slammed her axe down on the ground, sending a wave of green magical energy into the ground which then moved towards the woman, smashing into her and sending her crashing onto the floor in pain.

"Had enough yet?" Reina snarked as she was enjoying this.

"Had enough? Had enough?" Coordinator repeated with a very angry look on her face while standing back up. "I won't stop until I show you insufferable brats your place!" 

A burst of light enveloped the woman as she be have her requipped into a new armor. The one she wore when she thrashed Erza. "My Dispel Magic may not work on your outfits, but this armor will be more than enough to remove them." Coordinator smirked as she stood before the duo.

 "Don't be too sure about that!" Ayumi declared. "I don't know why you're after Eclair or that stone, but we're not letting you get either!"

"That's right, Grandma." Reina taunted in agreement. "Cause we're gonna wipe that smirk off your face."

Coordinator's eyebrow twitched at that. "G-Grandma!?" She shrieked in anger before launching at the two. "That's it! You two are going down!"

"Yah!" The two Rangers yelled, charging forward as well.

The three began to fight in hand-to-hand combat with Coordinator blocking each of their moves easily, as Ayumi jumped up to do a roundhouse kick to push her away on the floor a few feet, then Reina does a spinning straight kick into the woman's stomach.

But Coordinator leaped forward to evade the assault before turning to face the two, with a savage smile on her lips. She them drew her small blade and leapt forward quickly to attack first with, only for Ayumi to react quickly enough to grab her arm and twisted it, which made her howl in agony, dropping the blade in the process. Reina charged at her right side before Ayumi jumped away Reina jumped up and dropped kicked Coordinator across the ground.

"You brats are quite strong," The mage acknowledged as she got up from the ground and held out her arms. "But you're not strong enough to stop me."

Suddenly, after using her magic to make her weapon reappear in her hand, Coordinator tightened her grip on her sword's handle as she glared at the girl Rangers before charging towards them, determined to show the Rangers their place.

"Wow. I guess we really made her mad." Ayumi obviously stated as she saw the Carbuncle mage charging towards her and Reina.

"In that case, let's even the odds." Reina ran forward with her morpher in wand mode.

"I'll try this Spell Code." She said, crossing her forearms over, her left hand forming the Mystic symbol.

She lowered her arms and pressed 1 on her morpher, making her clutch her fists, as she suddenly grew exaggerated muscles.

"AHHH! All right!" Reina said, holding her left hand by her hip, and her right up. "Stronger than a tree!"

She held up both her muscles.

"Mystic Muscles!" She said, putting her fists near her muscled chest. "Check out the new physique!"

Normally, Coordinator would be surprised to see Reina suddenly grow huge muscles, but she was so mad at the girl Rangers insulting her and was so focused on defeating them that she didn't react to Reina's sudden muscle growth at all. 

 As soon as Reina and Coordinator got close to each other, the Requip mage swung her blade down at opponent, only for it to completely shatter to pieces upon contact with her muscles, much to the woman's shock as she jumped back.

 "You're gonna have to do better than that!" Reina taunted her.

"You little bitch...!" Coordinator growled harshly, rushing blindly at the Green Ranger to knock her down a peg.

Reina crossed her arms like an X just as Coordinator leapt forward to deliver a flying kick, her strongest attack yet. Her strike landed with explosive results, a shockwave blowing behind Reina...

Only for the Green Ranger to not even budge an inch, much to the shock of Coordinator. "What!?"

Reina opened her arms slightly to grin at the still-shocked mage. "Gotcha, bitch." She quickly swerved under and around, directly behind Coordinator and pulled back her fist. "Heads up, Ayu!" She called out before striking the woman in the back with enough force to send Coordinator flying across the roof and towards Ayumi.

"On it!" Ayumi yelled, then took out her Magi Staff. "Magi Staff, Tornado Power!" 

She held up her weapon as the top of it lit up, then she jumped up and began twirling around in a whirlwind.

"Round and 'round I go!" she said, diving towards Coordinator, then proceeded to corkscrew kick her in the chest, with max power.

Coordinator howled in pain as she felt the Pink Ranger's boots begin to dig into her stomach. Saliva was flung everywhere and Coordinator could feel herself begin to lift off her feet as Ayumi pushed even deeper. With a wordless yell, Ayumi pushed harder. Coordinator's world became a sea of white-hot pain. She was only vaguely aware of being thrown away, the world spinning wildly around her, then all that came to an abrupt end as she slammed hard enough into a wall to hear her back crack and send lances of lightning up her spine.

The silence on the battlefield was complete as the woman slumped and fell on her front, unconscious and defeated.

Ayumi landed beside Reina, with her Mystic Muscles deactivated, and asked, "So... did we win?"

Reina snorted and gestured to the woman with her head. "You tell me? Helluva drop kick you gave her."

Ayumi rubbed the back of her helmet sheepishly. "Yeah, thanks. Though, I probably put too much into it."

Her fellow Ranger shrugged. "Meh, I'd say she deserved it." She said before moving over to the unconscious mage. "Anyway, let's bring her back to the boys. She might know something."


With Sora

The Red Ranger glared angrily at the turquoise-haired man with his sword resting on his shoulder as Dyst held a deadly expression on his face.

"Really? You're going to get in my way?" Dyst sneered confidently, dismissing the very thought as Sora glared at him. "You seem to have quite the death wish."

"Look dipshit, I don't know what your damage is, and frankly I don't care, but there's no way in hell you're getting Eclair or that stone." Sora said in a stern tone, annoyed by Dyst's arrogant attitude.

At Sora's comment, Dyst's expression became one of pure rage as his eyes widened until his pupils were just tiny dots in a sea of white.

"So, you think you're going to stop me from taking it..." Dyst started with a manic look on his face as an air of power surrounded him.

Sora tightened his grip on his weapon. "Oh, I'm gonna do a lot more than that!" With a yell, Sora lunged at him with his sword at the ready. Reacting quickly, Dyst raised up his left hand, creating a pressure that halted Sora in midair.

'So, that power he used on Natsu was telekineses!' the young Ranger noted through his thoughts as wind blew about fiercely from the magic. Dyst then swung his left arm to throw his foe off to forward in a grunt, letting Sora skid backwards across the roof. He then shot off bursts of telekinetic energy, which Sora managed to dodge as they created a human-size craters around. 

"Foolish boy." Dyst snarled. "You don't know who you're messing with. I'm a lot stronger than you could ever dream! And once I've claimed the Phoenix Stone, I'll become a God among men!" he then got a crazed look in his eyes that showed his rage. "...AND YOU'RE NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO STOP ME! YOUR BEST BET IS TO JUST GET OUT OF MY WAY!"

Sora scoffed. "You? A God? Sounds to me that you're just begging for someone to knock you off that high horse of yours! I'll be happy to!" He roared. "Hyah!"

He began charging at Dyst, who gathered massive pile of debris around him, before launching straight at the Red Ranger, who merely deflected them with his sword.

"There's no way in hell you're getting near Eclair!" Sora roared, cutting through the last of the projectiles.

He rolled forward and kicked Dyst's right arm up, then blocked his left arm with his sword, then he blocked him right with it. Enraged, Dyst knocked Sora's arm aside then used a telekinetic burst to blast his weapon out of his hand as it went spinning in the air and embedded itself in the ledge.

Seeing his foe disarmed, Dyst readied another burst, which unleashed a powerful burst of wind. It struck his target, though Sora was quick to cross his arms to block as the attack sent him sliding backwards to the ledge.

"THIS ENDS NOW! DIE!" Dyst roared, using his magic to send a wall of rubble surging toward the Ranger, seemingly engulfing him.

Its attack potency was so strong that it rocked and made the building shake, sending out a massive shockwave.

The pressure also expanded out in its surroundings, damaging some of the buildings with a few of them collapsing and destroying most of the street in the process. The explosion was so strong that the residents of Magnolia could feel and see it.

As the smoke began to clear, Dyst felt his grin turn even more psycho-like, gazing at the lingering dust of his attack. "So it turns out you're not so strong, huh?! You were just all talk! Scum is scum in the end!" He happily yelled while laughing.

As the dust soon died down, Dyst could see a darkened silhouette in the smoke, that could only be Sora, that was slowly becoming more distinct and his smile died down when he noticed that he was standing in the same exact spot he was before he released his attack.

"What...!?" Dyst's eyes widened in disbelief when the smoke died down enough, so he could see that Sora, with his Magi Staff pointing forward, surrounded by a red magical barrier that had a few cracks on it and was glowing brightly as he was shielded from the massive explosion.

Dyst was speechless as he saw Sora had stopped his attack and was looking at him with his eyes narrowed intensely, even though he couldn't see it with his helmet on.

'He put up a magic barrier at the last second before the blast hit him.' Dyst thought in shock.

The explosion had destroyed the roof but starting from where Sora stood, in a triangularly circle spreading manner, the roof was only severely damaged.

Gritting his teeth, Dyst growled with anger and hate. "Why won't you die!?" He demanded.

"Heh, it's going to take a lot more than that to put me down!" Sora shouted as he sheathed his Magi Staff and opened up his Morpher. "You wanna see power, I'll show you power! Time to try out a Spell Code!"

[Insert Music: Power Rangers Mystic Force OST: We believe in magic]

Sora then typed in the spell code 8-8-3, to activate the Spell Code before putting his Morpher away.

"Mystic Force Fighters!" The Red Mystic Ranger shouted as he moved his arms around before crossing them, then spread his hands down to the side before red boxing gloves with half a gold M and green jewels on each of them magically appeared on both of his hands. 

"What kind magic is this?!" Dyst thought in confusion

Sora knocked his boxing gloves together a few times as tiny red magical sparks of energy coming off of them with each hit, along with the dinging sound of a bell. He then brought his fists together to show the M symbol on the gloves, as it glowed golden for a moment.

"Let's get ready to rumble!" Sora declared before knocking his boxing gloves together again and performing a short back flip, he cracked the floor underneath himself when he landed, the phoenix insignia appearing behind him with Sora starting to strike poses before taking a boxing stance as his cape was flowing and fire was blazing around him.

Dyst was unable to make a proper sentence, looking at the boy with shock before his mouth turned into an savage sneer. 

"You were right about one thing..." Sora said to him, holding out his right boxing glove. "This ends now."

With that, he launched himself at the man at full speed.

Seeing his foe coming, Dyst fired off another telekinetic burst with his right hand, but Sora immediately slid to the left in blinding speed to dodge the attack.

"You will fall to me!" Dyst shouted as he launched to the left for another attack.

But Sora quickly slid to right this time faster than Dyst could see. With telekinetic burst after burst, Dyst tried his best to land a single blast on his opponent, but Sora kept on dodging to both the left and right like a professional boxer at a breakneck speed that the telekinetic mage user just couldn't keep up.

"JUST DIE, YOU BASTARD!" Dyst yelled out in frustration, as sends another burst.

Instead of dodging this time, Sora punches through the attack, which surprises Dyst. Sora then threw a barrage of punches at Dyst, who blocked the punches with his arms, before doing a quick spin to the right as Sora threw one more punch at Dyst's right arm that pushed him back.

"Damn it!" Dyst cursed. He may have blocked the attack but the impact of the blows still hurt like hell.

Soraa then leapt into the air to punch Dyst, with that said man crossing his arms for a block to only get knocked back again a few feet, standing his ground.

Sora looked at Dyst, as he started to practically dance and lightly hop around while in a boxing stance. "Ha, yeah, ha! Come on, I'm just getting warmed up!" The boy said.

"Don't you mock me!" Dyst roared as he was lost in his rage.

Sora backhanded Dyst in his right arm, then in his chest, then the face, and right before the Red Ranger jumped into the air doing a spiral side spin and backhanded the man's chest as he flew over to the right side. Dyst swung his left arm for another pressure burst with Sora jumped up to punching the man's arm towards the ground, causing the attack to erupt and push the two back.

"Damn you!" Dyst said rushing at the Ranger for another telekinetic burst.

Sora ducks under the attack and spun over to the right before punching Dyst's right side, moving him as the Ranger got in front of him.

"Hiya!" Sora prepared to throw another punch, which made Dyst's eyes widen in shock. The Ranger slammed his fist hard into the man's face which sent him flying back on the ground and breaking his nose.

Dyst rolled on the ground a few times before stopping himself while holding his broken nose. 'How the hell is this possible?!' He thought as he was starting to become even more irriated.

"Time to end this!" Sora stated before leaping incredibly high in the sky.

"This isn't over until I say so!" Dyst angrily stated as he launched another telekinetic burst. "DIE!"

"Gojika!" Sora quickly shouted.

Then suddenly, a blaze of fire quickly appeared around Dyst and concealed him in a sphere of fire, stopping the man in mid-attack.

"What?!" Dyst shouted in surprise as he tried to break out of the sphere, to no avail. "Don't think this is over!" Dyst kept on screaming as he attempted to break free. "I will get the Phoenix Stone! I will achieve immortality! I will-"

"Power of the Phoenix!" Sora stated with a smirk behind his helmet, as he spread out his arms as he engulfed his entire body in fire, and the flames took the shape of a phoenix.

Dyst widens his eyes from the realization as Sora comes rushing down from the sky. 'Impossibe! He has the power of the Firebird!? NO!'

"HYAH!" Sora shouted before punching the fire sphere with his left boxing glove.

The orb erupted into a giant explosion, which Dyst was caught in the middle of as he was sent soaring in the air.

"AGHHHHHHHHH!" Dyst screamed in utter agony, as he flew across the town at a great distance before crashing right through a building's wall, knocking him completely unconscious.

The force of the punch was so strong that it made the whole area violently shake again, but this time twice as hard with the people of the town feeling the rumbling.

Sora stood tall and looked at the direction Dyst flew, as he smiled proudly and turned his back on the man.

"K.O!" He declared, rising his right boxing glove in victory.

Chapter Text

Last Time: 

"Power of the Phoenix!" Sora stated with a smirk behind his helmet, as he spread out his arms as he engulfed his entire body in fire, and the flames took the shape of a phoenix.

Dyst widens his eyes from the realization as Sora comes rushing down from the sky. 'Impossibe! He has the power of the Firebird!? NO!'

"HYAH!" Sora shouted before punching the fire sphere with his left boxing glove.

The orb erupted into a giant explosion, which Dyst was caught in the middle of as he was sent soaring in the air.

"AGHHHHHHHHH!" Dyst screamed in utter agony, as he flew across the town at a great distance before crashing right through a building's wall, knocking him completely unconscious.

The force of the punch was so strong that it made the whole area violently shake again, but this time twice as hard with the people of the town feeling the rumbling.

Sora stood tall and looked at the direction Dyst flew, as he smiled proudly and turned his back on the man.

"K.O!" He declared, rising his right boxing glove in victory.



Sora stood on the roof in trimuph for his victory over Dyst when he heard Reina's call out.

"Looks like you've been busy."

He looked over and saw his friends moving into view with Cyrus and Kiba carrying Cannon's form over their shoulders. And lastly were Reina and Ayumi, the latter carrying the knocked out Coordinator via magic. Both mages were put together in a pile as the members of Hero Force regrouped.

"Like you're one to talk." Sora joked with his boxing gloves disappearing from his hands.

Cyrus looked around, noticing that there was one member of the Carbuncle trio unaccounted for. "Hey, Sora. What happened to that Dyst guy that you were fighting?" Cyrus asked, looking at the Red Ranger.

"Oh, he's probably halfway across town by now," Sora replied as he pointed his thumb in the direction he sent Dyst flying, where a semi dust cloud could be seen.

Reina let out an impressed whistle. "Damn, you must've went all out on him, huh?"

Kiba, on the other hand, let out a groan. "Cy and I had to carry the big guy here because he was a lot heavier than he looks," Kiba stated as he gestured to the unconscious Cannon before continuing. "I don't care that we have to question these guys; I am not traveling halfway across town to find Dyst just to carry him all the way back here!"

While Reina rolled her eyes at Kiba's complaining, hearing Dyst's name caused Sora to remember what the telekinetic mage said and decided to let the other Rangers know. "Speaking of Dyst, I thought you all should know that his mission might be different than the one his boss in Veronica assigned him and his group."

Hearing that caught the other Rangers' attention as they looked at Sora. "What do you mean?" Ayumi asked with a head tilt. 

Sora took a deep breath before explaining his answer. "While I was fighting Dyst, he talked about claiming the Phoenix Stone for himself to achieve immortality so he could, quote, become a God among men, unquote."

The other Rangers all looked suprised and confused by this. Though, before anyone could express their thoughts on what they just learned, a dark shadow appeared underneath Cannon and Coordinator and began pulling them into it, surprising all five Rangers.

"What the...!?" Reina gaped.

"Hey!" Kiba cried, rushing in to get them. He leapt at the pair just as they disappeared, causing him to fall to the ground. "Nuts!" He snorted as he raised his head. "They got away!"

"What happened?" Cyrus questioned, staring into the spot.

"They're gone!" Ayumi cried out.

As if to answer their shock, a black shadow portal appeared before them, and Chase stepped out. The Rangers, looking surprised, looked at the person before them, prepared for a fight.

"You!" Reina growled out.

"It seems you mages have a bad habit of interfering." Chase commented bluntly.

That was when they noticed he was holding someone under his arm, revealing to be Eclair, who was now unconscious.

"Eclair!" Ayumi cried out.

"What!?" Kiba shouted. 

"No!" Cyrus exclaimed.

"You bastard, let her go!" Sora demanded, stepping forward.

Chase scoffed at this. "I won't let any of you get in my way this time." he assured.

"Wait!" Sora demanded, holding his hand out.

He charged towards Chase, who then proceeded to shoot knives from under his cloak. Sora dodge rolled out of the way as the other Rangers gathered around him.

"Sora!" Kiba gasped.

They all looked up at Chase, who watched them as a shadow portal showed up beneath him, which began dragging him and Eclair down. "If you wish to save her, come to Veronica. If you dare." He snarked at them.

"NOO!" the Rangers cried, charging forward.

Chase and Eclair went beneath the shadows, which vanished, making the Rangers stop and stare at the spot.

"Damn it!" Reina exclaimed in frustration.

"So, this was all a trap!" Cyrus realized. "They were acting as a diversion so he could get Eclar."

"And we fell for it hook line and sinker!" Kiba added, punching his pal,

"What do we do now?" Ayumi asked, looking at each of them for an answer.

"...Let's head on back to Fairy Tail and regroup." Sora told them. "We need to tell them about this."

With solemn nods, the team all made their way off the roof and back to Fairy Tail.


With Fairy Tail

When the dust had settled and the Carbuncle Mages left, the now ravaged Fairy Tail Guild was in ruins, Lucy, heartbroken at her failure, began to blame herself.

"I couldn't help her when she needed me. They took her, and all I could do was watch it happen," she sobbed.

"I have to go rescue Eclair...!" Momon grunted sitting up with effort as Happy tried to push him back down.

"You shouldn't get up yet." Happy said, concerned.

"Those bastards destroyed our guildhall and kidnapped one of our friends!" Natsu yelled as he punched the ground. "They are messing with the wrong guild! They're gonna pay for this!"

"Guys!"

Everyone looked up and saw the Rangers all arrive back to the guild, now unmorphed.

"Is everyone okay?" Ayumi asked them.

Wendy rushed to the team with relief. "Guys, you're back!"

Erza joined them not soon after. "Since none of you appear to be harmed, I take it you were successful in defeating the enemy."

"Yeah, we did, but..." Kiba began before Reina cut in.

"That Chase guy took Eclair while we were dealing with the 3 Carbuncle Stooges."

"He's taken her to Veronica." Ayumi informed the mages, surprising them.

"Veronica?" Erza repeated.

"Éclair was talking about that place." Happy stated.

"The ones that stole the other Phoenix Stone." Gray added.

"Well, then. This saves me half the trouble of explaining things."

Hearing this, everyone turns to see Makarov, Gajeel, and Pantherlily arrive back to the guild.

"Master." Erza greeted before slightly bowing her head. "Sorry that I couldn't save the guild." 

"Don't worry about it, it isn't your fault. We got a lot to tell you." Makarov told her. before switching his gaze to the Rangers. "I'd also like to hear what you've found out as well."


Team Natsu, the Rangers, Momon, and Juvia followed Gajeel, Pantherlily, and Makarov into a secret room to discuss this while the other wizards tried to regroup and help check if everyone's ok.

"The guild was attack by Carbuncle. They're mercenaries. They were hired by Veronica's Prince named Cream. We overheard they were getting a large amount of money for abducting a girl name Éclair." Pantherlily explained.

"We also heard that Veronica is throwing a four hundredth birthday party tomorrow. And this Prince Cream is going to make some fireworks by putting together two Phoenix Stones." Gajeel added from what he and Pantherlily had been investigating.

"And what will that do?" Erza questioned.

"There happens to be an ancient legend about those stones. It says that when two become onel the fiery phoenix will spring forth from its eternal prison." Pantherlily answered.

"And apparently gives you eternal life as a thank you gift." Gajeel explained which had everyone gasp in shock.

"No way..." Kiba trailed off.

"My god." Ayumi commented.

"It'll make you live forever." Natsu inquired.

"Wait, that's exactly what that Dyst guy said." Sora told them. "Apparently, he wants the Phoenix Stone for himself to achieve immortality."

"Wait, then that means, he was planning to backstab the Prince in order to do that." Reina summarized.

"When the people of Fire Village sealed the phoenix many years ago, countless lives were lost. I can't imagine what kind of havoc that demon will create." Makarov stated.

"All we have to do is to dispel the stones to keep that thing for ever coming back. That's why Kellard was worried about being there and was waiting for Éclair to bring him the stones." Gray theorized.

"If Cream or Dyst does this, either of them will have the phoenix's power and can do whatever they want without the fear of death stopping them." Gajeel said.

"If the phoenix were to go on a rampage, just like what happened last time, only those two will survive the attack. But they'll be the only ones." Pantherlily added grimly.

"We won't let that happen." Natsu vowed with determination in his eyes.

"And let's not forget about the boss that sent the Hidiacs and the Styxoid after Éclair. If they somehow find out that she's being held hostage in Veronica, then they might try to kill Cream and Dyst so they could summon the Phoenix in order to control it and have it help them take over the world. And I have a feeling that we'll all be in big trouble if the Phoenix gives the boss immortality." Cyrus added in.

"Let me go." Lucy requested. "I need to try to rescue Éclair. She was crying so I held her; she couldn't stop trembling. There was so much that I was shaking too. This isn't just about the stone or the phoenix! Éclair's life is at stake here. She's just a girl like me. When she found out that her father died she cried just like I did. Éclair needs our help and we can't abandon her!" 

Momon looked up at her in awe.

"I see. You can go. Erza, you choose who goes with her." Makarov ordered.

"Right." Erza nodded.

"Keep it small and efficient. Veronica may not be a large country but we cannot to go to war with them."

"Of course, master."

"Hey Wendy, I'm going to need your Troia spell this time." Natsi requested to the younger girl.

"Yeah. That means I'll go with you." Wendy retorted.

"Then I'm going too." Gray volunteered.

"Wherever Gray goes, I'll follow." Juvia also volunteered.

"Aye, sir." Happy volunteered with his paw raised.

Gajeel and Pantherlily even volunteered to go.

"Count us in too." Sora declared.

"Right on!" Kiba exclaimed.

"Yeah!" Ayumi cheered as well.

"We've dealt with giant monsters beforem, so this ain't new." Reina accepted.

"We shall hope for the best while we're still preparing for the worst. I will return to the council at once and give my report. Godspeed, everybody." Makarov told them.


Kingdom of Veronica

In a kingdom far away, Éclair is seen sitting in a room in a dungeon and has remained quiet. The door begin to open and Éclair look to see Prince Cream alongside with Chase.

"Oh what perfect timing. This is exactly what I was hoping for. A fitting anniversary gift for my kingdom." Prince Cream said presenting the half of the Phoenix Stone.

"Listen to me! You mustn't revive the Phoenix!" Man cannot control its destructive power!" Eclair cried.

"That's not true. I can do whatever I please." Cream retorted proudly.

Éclair then bashed her head against Prince Cream, hitting him in the nose and causing him to back away in pain. The prince then takes out a knife and slice her in the left arm, causing a little bit of blood to splatter out.

"Now you listen to me, bitch! I will repay you for your troubles by ending your sad miserable life! You have until tomorrow." Prince Cream threatened before he can leave the room.

Chase follow the prince out of the room.

"That witch dare to strike at me." Prince Cream scowled.

"I do have a feeling that we're going to have company that will try to get Éclair back and ruin the ceremony. I will infrom Dyst of keeping a lookout." Chase theorized.

"See that you do. By the way, where is Dyst?"

"...He and the others are resting with the guild while I finished the mission. I'll inform them once they have awakened." Chase replied.

"Hmph, very well."


???

Within the ancient castle ruins, Morticon sat in his throne, slamming the end of his sword against the floor in frustration.

"I must have the Source!" he declared, getting up and putting his sword on his shoulder.

Soon, a Styxoid appeared in front of him, before it turned to Morticon.

"Lord Morticon, I bring news to you." The grunt said.

"Speak." Morticon demanded.

"The Source has been retrieved by a kingdom known as Veronica." It informed. "They plan to unleash a powerful creature known as the 'Phoenix' to gain eternal life."

 "Is that so?" Morticon hummed in interest. "Well, if this Phoenix does indeed grant immortality to those who summon it, then I will be the one who will use the Source to summon Phoenix and have it make me immortal. And if this Phoenix is indeed powerful, then I will be the one who will command it to cleanse the Surface World of any human that dares to get in our way! Including, that meddling Mystic Force!"

 While the Hidiacs and Styxoids cheered in agreement, their general pointed his sword at the sky.

"Prepare everyone soldier we have. Now is the time to attack!" He cackled loudly.


The Following Day, the outskirts of Veronica...

The Rangers and Fairy Tail mages all ran towards a cliff at the quarry, first Sora and Natsu, then Cyrus and Gray, Kiba and Lucy, Reina and Erza, Ayumi and Wendy, and then Gajeel and Juvia, with Happy, Carla, and Pantherlily flying close behind.

 They all reached the edge at the same time, then looked down at the city of Veronica.

"There it is." Erza said. "Let's be careful, but let's get it done."

"I'm fired up now." Natsu grinned.

"Are you guys ready?" Sora asked, pulling out his Mystic Morpher.

"Ready!" the other Rangers all said, doing the same.

They all then pressed the 1-2-3 buttons on their Morhpers.

"Magical Source, Mystic Force!"


(Morph sequence)

The screen split into five, Kiba in the top left, Sora in the top middle, Cyrus in the top right, Reina in the bottom left, and Ayumi in the bottom right.

Galwit Mysto Ranger

A spell shot out from their wands, creating a spell seal above each of them. Their Mystic spirits came out of the spell seals and landed behind them, as they did their actions.

"Yah!" they yelled, jumping up.

They went through the spell seals, morphing up, then they turned as their helmets came on, before doing their Mystic hand poses.

(End morph sequence)

"Yah!" they shouted, prepared for battle.

Seeing this, Lucy turned back to face the city. "It won't be long. We're coming, Éclair." 


Outside of the side gate, the guards were standing outside, when Gray lunged forward, declaring that the gates were open. They all raced through after destroying them.

"Once we're beyond this gate, our mission is to find Eclair and bring her to safety," Erza said.

"Sounds like a plan!" Kiba called out.

"Let's do it!" Natsu cried, and the fight was on.

One of the guards tried to warn Prince Cream, who was about to be crowned the new king, but the young man told him there was nothing to fear, as the Carbuncle mages would deal with them.


The Rangers, along with Lucy, Momon, Wendy, Carla, and Panther Lily were now rushing through the crowd, when Cyrus noticed something up ahead.

"We got company," Cyrus said, pointing towards the large group of mages blocking their path.

"I was hoping we were just a couple of people with nothing but two cats, but it looks like they're from the Carbuncle guild," Panther Lily sighed, as he changed into his fighting form.

Reina cracked his knuckles. "Don't worry. This'll be a walk in the park."

"Yeah." Ayumi nodded, before noticing Wendy tense up. "You okay, Wendy?"

"I'm fine. In fact, I'm just as fired up as all of you. We're trying to help someone here tonight, right? So we can't back down now," Wendy replied, as whirlwind appeared in her hand.

Everyone smiled at that, before Kiba looked over at Sora.

"Cap, we'll help these guys with this. You, Lucy, and Momon go find Eclair," He said.

"We owe you one," Sora told Kiba before turning his head to Lucy. "Hey, Lucy, do you and Momon want a ride so we can crash Prince Cream's party?"

"Um, sure!" The blond responded. "Are you using that flying vehicle again?"

 "Actually, I have something else in mind."

Sora then summon his broom and pointed his Morpher at it before typing in the spell code 1-2-9.

"Galwit Mysto Motro!" Sora said as the broomstick magically turned into a motorcycle as everyone who was watching, besides the other Rangers, were beyond shocked by what they saw.

The Red Ranger then jumped on his bike and started it up. "Hop on!" He told Lucy and Momon.

Snapping out of their stupor, said duo climbed on behind the ranger and held on tight.

"Let's ride!" He said before they took off through the streets.

"Time to clean house, people!" Reina shouted.

"Yah!" Everyone yelled, charging forward.

"Attack!" A Carbuncle mage commanded, holding his hand out before the mages charged forward with him.

"Sky Dragon's Wing Attack!" Wendy yelled as she tore through some mages with whirlwind 'wings'.

"RAAAAAGH!" Panther Lily yelled as he barreled through the lines, knocking the enemy left and right with his massive weapon.

Cyrus jumped and somersaulted forward over some crates, as a few blasts hit them or shot past them and him, creating some sparks. He kept somersaulting forward, before he landed on his feet and rolled past several Carbuncle mages, then he got up and turned around.

"Magi Staff, Water Power!" He shouted, taking it out, then crossing his forearms over.

He aimed it at several Carbuncle mages, before waves of water came up from the ground and lifted them all up, making them scream.

Kiba jumped and twirled around along a nearby fountain's roof to avoid several blasts, creating sparks from it, before one landed right between his legs.

"Whoa!" he yelped, jumping up.

He twirled around and landed on the ground on his feet, before he took out his Magi Staff and crossed his forearms out.

"Magi Staff, Lightning Power!" He shouted, jumping backwards.

He shot lightning from it in bolts, hitting several Carbuncle mages, knocking them down as he dived past them.

Reina jumped over a Carbuncle mage while dodging several blasts, which hit the ground nearby, creating explosions, as she dove away. She kicked a mage's chest as she landed, knocking him away into some barrels, then she took out her Magi Staff and turned around.

"Magi Staff, Vine Power!" she shouted, crossing her forearms over, before aiming it.

Two large vines came out of the ground from either side of her, which then moved towards several Carbuncle mages, knocking them down.

Ayumi jumped and flew towards several Carbuncle mages, shooting magic from her Magi Staff at them, which hit and knocked them down. She landed on her feet, then turned around and crossed her forearms over.

"Magi Staff, Tornado Power!" she shouted, holding it up.

It lit up, then she began spinning around in a tornado, blowing dozens of Carbuncle mages away.


Meanwhile, Sora, Lucy and Momon were riding through another part of the streets, when they soon saw more guards standing before them.

"Man, these guys just don't quit." Sora commented as he brought the bike to a halt.

Lucy smirked in response. "Leave them to me!" She boasted, pulling out a golden key.

Sora and Momon looked at her in confusion. "What are you going to do, Lucy?" The latter asked.

 "I'm going to show you what a Celestial Mage can do." Lucy stated proudly as she pointed the key forward. "Open! Gate of the Maiden! VIRGO!"

A magic circle formed on the ground and a girl with pink hair wearing a frilly maid's outfit appeared.

Sora and Momon stared at her in shock. "Whoa...!" The former gaped in awe. Was that her magic?

"Hello, Princess. Do you wish to punish me for interrupting the celebration?" The woman asked, confusing both Sora and Momon with the former sweatdropping. 

 "'Princess'?" Sora repeated in confusion before turning to Lucy. "Are you into some kind of S&M roleplay?"

 "W-What!? No! It's not like that!" Lucy angrily yelled at Sora before turning to Virgo. "But I might consider punishing you if you don't stop those guys!" 

"Very well,"  Virgo said, before digging into the ground bringing the guards down one by one into holes.

Some more tried to ambush them, but Lucy quickly reached for something on her belt, which was a cylindrical handle with a dark center and lighter edges. The lower part of the handle has stud-like ornaments and a small rope with a star-shaped pendant.

As the guards got closer, a jet of water flows from the handle and twists like a whip's rope as Lucy used it to bring them down.

"Amazing..." Momon gasped in awe.

"Princess, you must hurry," The maiden told her.

"Thanks a lot," Lucy thanked Virgo before looking at Sora.. "Let's go, Sora!"

"Right!" The Red Ranger nodded as he drove his bike through the streets.

"And please be careful," Virgo added and vanished.


The Castle, Veronica...

The civilians had gathered around and Éclair tried to struggle free from the chains to be the city's sacrifice for the ceremony.

"Loyal subjects! Tonight, let us make merry to commemorate to this occasion; I have gathered the Phoenix Stones!" Prince Cream presented.

"Stop this! You cannot let those stones make contact!" Éclair pleaded.

"You will be silenced soon enough." Cream scoffed. "Now to honor our beloved Veronica on this sacred year, I shall give her the gift that will sustain her through time without end."

"This is madness! The phoenix must not be revived!" Éclair shouted.

Prince Cream began to gather the stones and held them up for all to see.

"Oh empire's divine pillar, oh twins so long adrift, you shall again become one!" Prince Cream chanted as he began to place them together as one.

"You can do whatever you want with me, but the phoenix stones must not be united I beg of you!" Éclair begged.

"Eclair!" 

Hearing her name, said woman turned to see Sora, Lucy and Momon coming her way on the Red Ranger's bike.

"Hang on!" Sora called out as he drove faster.

Just as Cream was about to put the two stones together...

"Foolish human." Came a sinster voice, loud enough for everyone to hear. 

"Wha..." Cream began.

From behind Cream, an ominous magic circle appeared, and a shadowy figure came out of it. "The Source belongs to me!"

*BOOM*

Before anyone could do anything, a explosion erupted from where the prince stood as he was blasted off the balcony and onto a roof, hung by his cape. 

Everyone was shocked and confused by this as they ran away in panic, except for Éclair, as she gaped in shock.

"What?"

Sora brought the Mystic Speeder to a halt as he and his passengers were taken back by the scene. "What happened?"

"An explosion?" Lucy questioned.

The two halves of the Phoenix stone were tossed into the air, before the shadowy figure reached out a hand and caught both. It then stepped out of the shadows and revealed itself to be Morticon.

Sora displayed an expression of shock upon seeing the cyborg monster. "No way..." He uttered. "Morticon!"

"Who?" Lucy asked, confused.

"Do you remember back at the guild when my friends and I mentioned a monster named Morticon?" After seeing Lucy nod, Sora continued as he gestured his head to the cyborg monster on the balcony. "That's him. Which means...he's also the one who sent the Hidiacs and the Styxoid after Éclair."

Lucy, Momon and Eclair all looked shocked at the sudden news.

Morticon then looked down at them and sneered. "Well, well. If it isn't the Red Ranger."

"What the hell are you doing here!?" Sora demanded. "You were destroyed years ago! How are you still alive!?"

 Morticon scoffed at this remark. "Yes, that's what you would think." he said to them. "But as fate would have it, I was revived into this world by Queen Alsatia!" 

"What!?" Sora gaped. "Alsatia brought him here!?"

The Cyborg genral started to laugh wildly at the shock in Sora's voice, his face twisted up as he laughed. "Finally!" he shouted, raising his hand with the Phoenix stones into the air, "With the power that the Phoenix Stone, I will rule like a god again and conquer the Surface World!" He continued to laugh maniacally, unable to contain his pleasure.

"You're still trying to do that?!" Sora gasped, shocked at what he was attempting to accomplish.

"Stop it, you can't!" Eclair shouted, frantically. "Those stones can not make contact!"

Morticon stopped laughing and looked at the two. "And who's going to stop me!?"

He then waved his hand in the air, and suddenly Hidiacs and Styxoids appeared all around the group. Lucy, Eclair and Momon were shocked. 

"It's those creatures again!" The latter exclaimed.

"Consider these undead warriors as a present." Moritcon told them as he floated into the sky. "Finally the Source is mine!"

He then levitated the two halves of the Phoenix Stones in the air and placed them together with sadistic glee.

"Don't do it!" Eclair screamed, but it was too late as the united stones began shining a bright glow.

"Hold it!" Sora shouted as he ran to stop him, but he narrowly avoided a slash of one of the Hidiacs.

"Whoa!" he yelled, jumping up to dodge and spun around, kicking the Hidiac's axe and a Styxoid's staff, knocking them both down.

"Lucy, Momon!" Sora called out to the pair. "Go help Eclair! I got this!"

"O-Okay!"  The blond said as the duo moved ran towards the woman.

"Let's go!" Sora yelled, jumping up as a Styxoid tried to slash his legs, back flipping through the air over his bike, before he fly kicked another, knocking it and two Hidiacs down onto some barrels. He took out his sword, and held it sideways.

"Magi Staff, Sword Mode!" he shouted.

He charged forward as several Styxoids tried to slash him from behind, before he slashed one across the chest, knocking it down. He ran forward slightly, then slashed a Hidiac down the chest, turned spun around and slashed a Styxoid, then knocked up another Hidiac's blade, before slashing it down the chest. He then knocked up three more blades, knocking them down, before he spun around and slashed two Styxoid's across the chest, knocking them down. He rested his sword on his shoulder, before he turned as a Hidiac tried to slash him with its blade, but he blocked it with his sword.

"Come here!" he said, grabbing its forearm.

He jumped backwards as he let go, diving past several as it rolled along the ground, then he landed near some more and kicked one. He turned and slashed a third down the chest, then he ran forward and jumped, kicking a Styxoid in the chest as he dived past it, knocking it down onto another. He turned around and kicked two Hidiacs in the arm, knocking them down before he landed, then he slashed another and a Styxoid across the chest.

"Hyah!" he yelled, turning and running forward.

He jumped and kicked a Styxoid, which fell onto two Hidiacs, knocking them down, before he dived away and landed on his feet. He turned and slashed a Styxoid down the chest, followed by a Hidiac, before he faced more.

"Oh, man." he sighed.

He ducked and ran past a Hidiac as it tried to slash him, before he turned and blocked another's blade with his sword while backing away, then he dodged as a Styxoid ran past and tried to hit him with its staff.

Meanwhile, Lucy and Momon soon reached Eclair as they ran up to her.

"Eclair!" Momon cried out

"Hold on, we'll get you loose!" Lucy assured as she freed Eclair's restraints, releasing her arms.

"I'm fine, but..." Eclair muttered, before she turned around and saw Moritcon floating above the palace with the Phoenix Stone.

"Now gaze upon your new ruler! One whose reign shall adorn forevermore!" He bellowed.

The light began to grow brighter as the stone's power was unleashed. This has caused all of the people of the city to look at the bright glow of the scene. 


After defeating the Carbuncle mages, The Rangers, Wendy, Carla, and Panther Lily all stopped  and looked up at the glow.

"Whoa... check it out." Kiba said, pointing up at the light.

"What the hell is that?" Reina questioned.

"I got a hunch that the stones are connected as one again." Panther Lily theorized.

"What?" Wendy gaped in shock. "Then that means..."

"The Phoenix is emerging." Cyrus mumbled.

Ayumi then perked up at something. "Sora and the others are there!"


Back at the Palace

The stone begin to change as the power begin to grow and increase.

 "Arise, Mighty Phoenix! Arise!" Morticon demanded, raising his blade high into the air.

Then, as if responding to his call, a large monstrosity began to rise from the dust cloud landed in the palace walls. It actually appeared as a gigantic monster with dense metallic skin and a rounded figure, it had an elongated neck and winged arms. Its head had no facial features, besides 3 red eyes lined vertically across its face. Seeing the massive creature made everyone's eyes widened in pure shock and fear upon seeing the demon.

The Phoenix then raised its head and let out a powerful roar that could shake the heavens.

Morticon then landed on the monster's back. "Hear me, Surface World! With the Phoenix under my control, your entire world is doomed!" His voice boomed loudly for all of Veronica to hear.

Chapter Text



Kingdom of Veronica

The Phoenix held up its head and let out a roar that could shake the heavens. This made everyone in the city scream in terror before panicking and running away from the giant monster, with the Rangers bravely standing their ground from the loud roar.

"That's the Phoenix?" Carla wondered outloud.

"It doesn't look like any firebird I've seen..." Ayumi uttered.

The giant metal monster began to roar and blast a massive magical energy projectile towards the mountains, causing them to explode as the monster starts to wreak havoc on the city. The people of Veronica and everyone else are shocked to see such power with their own eyes.

"Holy crap!" Reina shouted from the power of the blast.

"I've never seen such power. It's unbelievable." Panther Lily said in disbelief.

"This is just like that movie when Godzilla uses his Atomic Breath attack to destroy cities!" Kiba exclaimed with shock.

"Godzilla?" Wendy blinked.

"Uhh, nevermind."

Cyrus then pulled out his Morpher and called Sora for all to hear. "Sora! Are you there? What going on!?" He questioned.

"So, the good news is that Éclair's safe; she's with me, Lucy, and Momon. The bad news is that Morticon took the Phoenix Stone from Prince Cream and used it to summon the Phoenix. Oh, and he's now in control of the Phoenix and is using it take over the world." Sora revealed, greatly shocking his team.

"Wait what!?"

"Morticon's here!?" 

"Morti what...?" Carla asked, confused by the name.

"An old enemy that was destroyed long ago." Cyrus summed up. "Or at least, should've been."

"Meaning he's the one reponsible for the Hidiacs and the Styxoid that went after Éclair!" Ayumi explained.

"But how the hell is he even here?" Reina questioned with irritaion in her voice.

"You can thank our benevolent queen and her metal stowaway back home for that." Sora scoffed, sarcastically.

 "If that thing destroys the city, it'll destroy everything." Ayumi noted.

"Including the kingdom of Fiore and the entire world." Cyrus added in.

"Then we got to stop that thing no matter what. But first, we should check on Éclair and the others." Reina said to the other Rangers.

"So, what's the plan then, Cap?" Kiba grinned, turning his gaze to the Red Ranger, whose voice was coming from Cyrus' Morpher.

"Simple, we need to even up the playing field." He replied, taking charge of the situation. "You guys take it to the Titans and hold off that thing. I'm going after Morticon. After that, I'll join up with you." 

 "Right!"

"'Titans'?" Wendy repeated the name in confusion before turning to the two Exceeds. "Do any of you two know what they're talking about?"

"I am just as confused as you are." Carla replied while shaking her head no.

"If I had to guess, I'd say that they might have a way to deal with the Phoenix." Panther Lily presumed.

"Sure do!" Reina said as she whipped out her Mystic Morpher. "All right, Rangers, let's do it!"

"Yeah!" Ayumi, Cyrus and Kiba all said, doing the same.

They all lowered their Morphers, then pressed the numbers 1-0-7 that glowed.


Mystic Titan Sequence 

Galwit Mysto Prifior

They all crossed their forearms over and spun around, first Reina, then Ayumi, Cyrus, and then Kiba.

"Ha!" they yelled, holding their morphers behind them as they bent down. "It's Titan time!"

They held up their wands and pressed the main button.

"Mystic Minotaur!" Reina shouted, rising up as a spell seal came over her.

She went through it, transforming into a large Minotaur Zord with red eyes, which had a knight's armor, the chest and shoulder with the 'M' symbol, and an axe.

"Ha!" she yelled, slashing it down, then she held her arms out as her symbol came behind her. "Ha!"

"Mystic Sprite!" Ayumi shouted, rising up as a spell seal came over her

"Mystic Sprite!" Ayumi shouted, rising up as a spell seal came over her.

She went through it, transforming into a small Sprite/Fairy Zord, with pink armor like Reina's with small wings behind her, and big yellow eyes, before she spun around.

"Hyah!" she yelled, holding her left arm out, her right up diagionally, bending her left leg, as her symbol came behind her.

"Hyah!" she yelled, holding her left arm out, her right up diagionally, bending her left leg, as her symbol came behind her

"Mystic Merman!" Cyrus shouted, rising up as a spell seal came over him.

He went through it, transforming into a Merman Zord, while his blue armor was like the rest, and had yellow eyes, then he held his left arm up and his right in front of him.

"Hyah!" he shouted, crossing his forearms over. His legs then attached together to make a tail fin, as his symbol came up behind him.

 His legs then attached together to make a tail fin, as his symbol came up behind him

"Mystic Garuda!" Kiba shouted, rising up as a spell seal came over him.

He went through it, transforming into a Garuda Zord, which had wings for arms, small green eyes and beak, while his yellow armor was like the rest, only it included his shoulders, before he leaned back and waved his arms out.

"Ha!" he yelled, holding his wings out as his symbol came up behind him.

They all stood together, Ayumi standing on Reina's shoulder, as she was small, while she was large, and the rest were the same size

They all stood together, Ayumi standing on Reina's shoulder, as she was small, while she was large, and the rest were the same size.

"Ancient power, Mystic Titans!" they shouted, doing their poses.

Sequence Ends


Upon seeing the Ranger's Titan Modes, everyone, within the walls of Veronica, jaws dropped to the floor in complete utter disbelief at the mind blowing sight before them.

Wendy gaped with wide eyes, "Whoa...!"

"W-What is this!?" Carla said in disbelief. "T-T-They just turned into giants!"

"They did." Panther Lily stammered out with bug eyes. "I have never seen Transformation Magic like that."


At the Veronica Palace

Lucy, Eclair, and Momon all gazed up at the massive giants in shock and awe. Though Sora merely smirked behind his helmet.

"Holy crap...!" Lucy slowly said in disbelief.

"E-Eclair, are you seeing this?" Momon asked in awe.

"I-I am..." She replied with widened eyes. 'They had magic this powerful?'


Morticon sneered at the sight of the Titans in rage, recalling his humiliating defeat at the Mystic Force.

"Power Rangers..." He growled before pointing his sword forward. "Hear me, Phoenix! Destroy them!"

As if it heard him, the Phoenix turned its attention to the four giants that stood before it, before letting out a roar and firing a barrage of fireballs at the Rangers, which hit and created an explosion in front of them.


"Yah!" Kiba yelled, as he dove forward.

The Phoenix fired more balls from its front, as Kiba swooped forward. The balls hit the ground in front of him, making sparks come up from it, but he kept swooping forward.

"Lightning lasers!" Kiba shouted, shooting lasers from his eyes.

The Phoenix roared loudly, as they hit it and causing the creature to step back.

While this was going on, Cyrus and Ayumi both grouped with Reina.

"Let's go." She said, pointing her massive axe forward.

"Right." Cyrus said, before he ran forward.

"Hyah!" Ayumi yelled, jumping up. "Let's play ball."

She spun around as magic came out of her hands, transforming herself into a ball, which Reina caught.

"Nice." she said. "Cy!"

She threw the ball up and whacked it away with her axe.

"Yah!" Cyrus yelled as his feet formed a tail fin again. before he jumped up from it.

"Kiba, coming your way!" he called.

He flipped forward and whacked the ball away with his tail fin, sending it right towards Kiba, who caught it with his wings.

"Ha. Batter up!" he called, as he spun around and threw the ball back towards Reina who held her axe back, charging it up with green energy before hitting the ball with maximum force, sending it towards the Phoenix. 

The ball hit its mark with full force, knocking the Phoenix slightly back before the ball shot away from it, which then turned back into Ayumi.

"Yeah!" she whooped.

She landed on Reina's shoulder as the others gathered around them both.

 "Yeah, how do ya like that, big bird!?" Kiba taunted.

"Still, it's gonna take a lot more than that to bring it down." Cyrus said as they watched the monster gather itself.

"Then, let's keep up the pressure!" Reina declared, as she charged forward for another round.

"Yeah!" The others agreed, following after their second in command.


With Sora and the others

"Wow. That's one tough bird." Sora whistled, as he sounded impressed.

"Hey guys!"

Hearing this, the group turned around to see Natsu and Happy flying down towards them.

"Natsu!" Lucy cried in joy at the pair.

"What the heck's going on?" Natsu questioned before pointing up at the Titans. "And what are those things!?"

"Morticon- the monster that my friends and I mentioned back at the guild - just summoned the Phoenix and is using it to try to take over the world," Sora explained before pointing up at the Titans. "And as for those things that are fighting against the Phoenix, that's Reina and the others in their Titan forms."

"WHAT!?" Natsu exclaimed in shock. "T-That's them!?"

"No way!" Happy yelled as well. "But how!?"

"I know you and Happy have a lot more questions about that, but right now, I need you two to find the others from the guild and tell them to use everything they have to weaken the Phoenix's metal body." Sora said before facing the others. "Lucy, I need you and Momon to get Éclair someplace safe while I deal with Morticon."

"O-Okay." The blonde nodded.

"But, there is no safe place with the Phoenix loose! Unless we can stop it, there's no hope for anyone we hold dear. They'll die!" Éclair countered. 

"Don't worry." Sora assured her. "We're going to save everyone. No one's dying today. We've faced giants before, so this one will be no different." 

"So, what's the plan now?" Momon asked. "Do you know a way to stop him, Sora?"

"I do. If we're gonna beat Morticon, then we're gonna need more firepower." Sora said as he held out his hand. "Northrex Uthum Sondor!"

Then out of nowhere, a red magic seal appeared a few feet from the group as dragon flew out of the portal, roaring. It had Sora's phoenix symbol on its forehead, red and gold patterns on its head and wings, with golden armor on its chest.

"Hey there, Fire Heart! Long time no see!" Sora said with a smile as he patted the dragon's head, getting a low purr in return

"Hey there, Fire Heart! Long time no see!" Sora said with a smile as he patted the dragon's head, getting a low purr in return.

When Sora and the others got their Ranger powers, Katrina made sure that they got to know Fire Heart and a few other individuals to build better bonds and relationships with them in the future.

This completely floored everyone as their mouths hung open at the scene before them.

"No way...Am I seeing things!?" Momon exclaimed.

"No, I'm seeing it too!" Happy yelled back.

"IT'S A DRAGON!" Lucy shrieked loudly, her eyes nearly popping out of her head.

Eclair merely looked on with shock at the sight before her.

"A dragon! OH MAN, THAT'S SO AWESOME!" Natsu exclaimed before noticing something. "But it's way smaller than Igneel and the dragons we've fought before."

"How are you not freaking out by the fact that Sora just summoned an actual dragon?!" Lucy asked aghast.

Sora looked at them confused. "What, you guys never seen a dragon before?"

"We have, but not since the Grand Magic Games!" Happy replied. "And those dragons were trying to eat everyone!"

"No worries. Fire Heart isn't like those other dragons. Watch this," Sora reassured him before jumping onto the dragon's back and pulling out a red morpher called the Fierce Dragon Morpher, which resembles a train conductor's ticket puncher with a dragon head blade. "Red Dragon Fire Ranger!" Sora yelled before pressing on the morpher's handle, causing the eye on the device to glow green.


(Battlizer Sequence)

Sora then jumped off Fire Heart, who did a loop-te-loop, then flew up behind Sora, who held his arms out, before they merged together, with Fire Heart giving Sora armor on his legs, arms, shoulders, and around his helmet, along with his wings, forming the Red Dragon Fire Ranger. Sora spun around and grabbed two small staffs, one being red with a dragon's head, while the other was blue and had a black ball at the end.

 Sora spun around and grabbed two small staffs, one being red with a dragon's head, while the other was blue and had a black ball at the end

(Sequence Ends)


Sora landed on the ground and stood confidently, his wings spread out as he did.

"WHAT THE HECK!?" Natsu, Lucy, and Happy shouted in pure shock.

Eclair and Momon merely dropped their jaws in awe at they gazed at Sora.

"Pretty cool, right?" Sora laughed at their faces. "Alright, you guys get going! I'll take care of things here." 

This snapped the Dragon Slayer out of his stupor. "Uh, right! Let's do this, Happy!"

"A-Aye sir!" The blue cat replied, latching onto Natsu's back as he sprouted angel wings.

"Okay, let's go Eclair." Lucy said as she lead the girl away from the area.

"Be careful, Sora!" Momon told the Red Ranger before following after the girls.

"Okay, let's go save the world!" Sora declared as he blasted off into the sky towards Morticon  while Natsu and Happy left to find the others from their guild.


With Morticon

Morticon stood on top of one of the palace ledges with his arms spread out, watching the Phoenix battle the Mystic Titans.

"Hear me, mighty Phoenix, bless me with the power to rule this world!" He demanded.

"You won't be ruling anyone!" a voice shouted.

Moritcon turned in time to see Sora shooting straight for him, before launching a power kick at the cyborg leader, knocking him back, as Sora landed crouched down.

"Ah!" Morticon moaned.

"This ends now, Morticon?!" Sora declared, getting up.

Morticon looked up at Sora and was taken aback by his new appearance. 'That power...it couldn't be!' He thought before snarling viciously. "Where did you get your hands on the Fire Heart!?"

"Wouldn't you like to know," Sora smirked underneath his helmet. "But if you're really curious about what Fire Heart's power can do, I'd be glad to show you. That is, unless of course you're scared of getting your ass handed to you like before."

"You...!" Morticon growled. "Don't you mock me!" He shot lightning from his sword, but Sora jumped up and dived towards Morticon, while dodging the attack.

He tried to bash Morticon with his staffs as he landed on his feet, but the cyborg general blocked it with his sword. Morticon then blocked a kick from him with his arm, then spun around to kick Sora, but missed as he ducked.

"Whoa!" Sora yelped.

He rolled forward as Morticon tried to slash him, who spun around, then he jumped as Sora skidded back along the building on his heels, slashing their weapons together three times as they did. Sora skidded on his feet to a halt, then did a backwards handspring one-handed as Morticon tried to slash him, then he jumped slightly and spun around to kick Sora, who blocked it with his arm, then they locked their weapons together. Morticon pulled his away and tried to slash Sora, but missed as he ducked and ran past him, before they turned to each other, then Sora ducked and limboed backwards as Morticon tried to slash him. Sora leaned up and jumped up as Morticon spun around to slash him again, but missed, then Sora spun around in the air, then tried to bash him, but missed as Morticon blocked it. They slashed their swords together again, before Morticon used to his magic to blasted Sora back, knocking him away.

"Ah!" he moaned.

He slid back a bit, though was able to regain his footing with no effort.

Morticon held up his sword and slashed it across from right to left, sending a blast at Sora. He waved his right staff around, sending the blast to his right, which created an explosion behind him, then he waved it and sent another blast to his left, which created another explosion. He turned as Morticon sent another blast at him, but he slashed both his staffs out, making them create an explosion right behind him.

"Is that all you got?!" the Red Ranger scoffed.

"Hardly!" Morticon retorted and held his sword to his right, then slashed it to his left, sending a powerful blast at Sora, who spread his wings out and jumped up, before it could hit him.

"My turn! FIRE!" He yelled, before he shot a beam from his right staff, which hit the ground in front of Morticon, sending him flying away.

"AHH!" he yelled.

He went flying away and crashed into a wall, smashing it slightly.

"Uh!" he moaned.

"Had enough, or are you hungry for more?" Sora taunted, preparing for another attack.

With a grunt, Morticon pulled himself out of the wall and dropped to his feet, "The Fire Heart's power truly is tremendous," He said, as he grinned manically, "I must have it! That power must be mine!" 

He then had surges of dark magic explode of his body, causing Sora to use his arms to shield himself from the sudden display of power.

"You meddling Mystic Force have always been pain to me, time and time again! But not this time! If destroying you means that I will finally claim what's mine, then so be it!"

Morticon then shot lightning from his left hand at Sora, who jumped and dove towards him with his arms out, as an explosion went off near them. He tried to bash Morticon with both his staffs, but he blocked them with his forearms as Sora landed in front of him.

"You don't have what it takes inside to be a ruler!" Sora cried.

"The only thing you need to rule is power, and I will possess absolute power when I've obtained the power of the Fire Heart and the Phoenix's gift! I will be an immortal god among men and will rule over the entire world!" Morticon barked, as he struggled with his enemy.

"It'll all be wasted on you, because you don't know the first thing about life!" shouted the Red Ranger.

"I know how to end this!" Morticon screamed and kicked Sora's chest, knocking him back, as Morticon stepped away and began charging up his sword with dark magic. "Dark Magic Strike!" Morticon yelled before swinging his weapon upward with full force, unleashing a devastatingly powerful purple energy slash that was now heading towards Sora.

Though Sora spread his wings out and jumped up, before it could hit him.

"WHAT!?" Morticon gasped, looking up.

"Enough! I'm gonna make sure you never harm another innocent life anymore!" Sora declared.

He did a loop-te-loop, then crossed his forearms over, as his visor and chest armor glowed green, before he landed on the ground. He held his arms out, then leaned his body back as his staffs flew around him, before he punched his left arm out, sending them flying towards Morticon, which began hitting and flying circles around him.

"AH! AH! AGH!" he moaned.

Sora dived over him and caught his staffs, before he landed on the ground and skidded away.

"Wahoo!" he whooped. "Yeah!"

He stopped skidding, as lightning came out of Morticon, while sparks came up all around him.

"AH! AH! AHH!" he moaned, falling onto his back and seemingly blowing up, creating a red smokescreen behind Sora.

"Red Dragon Fire Ranger!" he shouted, before an explosion went off behind him. "Yeah!"

He breathed and turned around, then held up his right staff briefly, before lowering it.

"Man, that was awesome!" He cheered to himself, only to be cut off by the Phoenix's roar. "Right, better go help the others!"

He then shot up into the air and flew towards the massive beast, unaware that Morticon's body was not only intact, but his hand twitched before he slowly reaches to his sword's grip.


With the Mystic Titans

The Phoenix let out a roar before firing a barrage of fireballs at the Mystic Titans.Fortunately, Reina stood in front of her friends with her arms spread out wide to protect them from the incoming attack.

"Ahhh!" Reina groaned as she fell backwards.

"Reina!" Ayumi and Cyrus called out, running over to her.

"Are you okay!?" Kiba asked.

Reina sat up with steam flowing off her front. "Yeah, I'm fine," Reina reassured her friends before looking at the Phoenix. "Damn, that thing's fireballs pack a wallop."

The massive creature then reared back its head to charge up another massive magical ball.

"Breath attack!" Cyrus alerted.

"I'll stop it!" Sora announced as he flew towards the Phoenix via Mystic Racer as fast as he could before whipping out his Mystic Morpher and pressing the numbers 1-0-7 that glowed. "Galwit Mysto Prifior!"

A red spell seal appeared in front of him, allowing him to jump off his vehicle and through the seal.

"Mystic Phoenix!" Sora shouted, transforming into a Phoenix Zord, which had green eyes, his chest armor resembling the others, and held a sword.

"Mystic Phoenix!" Sora shouted, transforming into a Phoenix Zord, which had green eyes, his chest armor resembling the others, and held a sword

"Yah!" he yelled, jumping and sending a kick to the right side of the Phoenix's head. The momentum Sora brought with him was enough to force the creature's head away, resulting in the ball of magic to fly into the sky.

"Hey!" Reina said, turning around.

"It's Sora!" Ayumi exclaimed in joy.

"Alright!" Kiba exclaimed.

"Nice timing." Cyrus remarked.

Sora landed near his friends and looked over at them. "Are you guys okay?" 

 "We are now." Ayumi nodded.

 "And Morticon?" Reina questioned.

 "Already dealt with."

Before Sora could continue or elaborate further, the Phoenix readjusted itself before letting out an angry roar, reminding the Rangers that they're still in the middle of a fight.

As the Rangers considered their next move, they suddenly heard yelling from nearby and saw the whole Fairy Tail guild had united and began to bombard the monster with nurmerous magic spells.

"It's Natsu and the others!" Kiba gaped in awe.

"I assume that was your doing?" Reina questioned, glancing at Sora.

"All I did was tell Natsu and Happy to find the others so they can try to keep the Phoenix busy."

"So, what's the plan now?" Ayumi asked around.

"We gotta get organized." Sora said as he looked at Cyrus. "Cy, try and break that thing down."

"Okay..." Cyrus began. "It's heavily armored, so nothing seems to do any damage. In fact, it looks like Fairy Tail's attacks are barley doing anything. That armor seems to serve as good offense to, made for bashing and crushing; but its primary weapon appears to be its long-ranged attacks. So, I believe we need to hit it with an attack so powerful that it will either destroy the Phoenix or completely weaken its defenses."

"In that case, let's hit it with something it's never seen before." Sora spoke up. "Dragon Style."

"Sounds like a plan!" Kiba agreed.

"Let's do this!" Reina joined in, raising a fist.

 "I'm in." Cyrus added with a nod. 

 "Same here!" Ayumi joined in as well with her fist raised.

The Mystic Titans then stood together as Reina, Ayumi, Cyrus and Kiba all they held their right arms out.

With the Fairy Tail mages, Wendy noticed the Titans nearby. "It's Reina and the others!"

"What in the world are they doing?" Gray questioned in confusion.

"Mystic Titans, Dragon formation!" they all shouted, crossing their forearms over, before holding them out as they glowed.

They all shot up towards the sky as Sora looked up at them.


(Dragon Formation Sequence)

Reina turned herself around and lowered her legs, forming some feet. Cyrus attached his legs together into his tail fin, then retracted his head, before he attached to the back of Reina, forming a tail. Kiba screeched as he spread his wings out, which turned around, then landed on Reina's back, forming some wings. Ayumi changed into a mouth and attached to the front of Reina, forming a head and neck, forming the Mystic Dragon.

 Ayumi changed into a mouth and attached to the front of Reina, forming a head and neck, forming the Mystic Dragon

(Sequence ends)


The Mystic Dragon let out a mighty roar, its voice carrying over the kingdom itself. Natsu, Wendy, and Gajeel immediately snapped their eyes towards at the majestic sight, which was flying over them.

"No way." Natsu said weakly, eyes wide.

"Th-They turned into a dragon..." Wendy gasped. "A real dragon...!"

"What the hell...?" Gajeel whispered. The others soon snapped their heads upwards as well, their eyes unbelieving as they watched it fly overhead.

"What is that?!" Gray exclaimed.

"It's huge!" Elfman yelled, jaw hanging wide open.

"My word...!" Erza gasped in shock.

"Alright!" Sora said, pointing up. "Hang on, everybody. I'm ready to ride. Hyah!"

He held up his sword before he jumped up, then he twirled around.

"Wahoo!" he whooped.

He landed on top of the dragon, sitting in its saddle area as everyone looked on with wide eyes.

The Mystic Dragon screeched as Sora grabbed hold of its back. "Ha! Let's fry that so-called bird!" he said.

The Phoenix fired several energy blasts, which hit the ground near the Mystic Dragon, making sparks and smoke come up from it.

"Hyah!" Sora yelled. "Still hungry? Hyah!"

He sliced the Phoenix's across it's body with his sword as the Mystic Dragon moved past it, then the dragon flew up into the sky. It turned around and spun around, before it shot down towards the Phoenix.

"Yeah!" Sora whooped.

Roaring in anger, the Phoenix turned around and fired blasts at the Mystic Dragon, which began dodging them.

"Look out!" Sora yelled as explosions went off in the sky as the Mystic Dragon kept flying down. "Ah! Whoa! Dragon blast!"

The Mystic Dragon shot a fireball from its mouth, which hit the Phoenix in the head, stunning, before the Mystic Dragon flew off.

"Alright, Rangers..." Sora said, as it turned around. "...let's get fired up!"

He jumped off the Mystic Dragon and dove forward. "Yah!" The Red Ranger yelled.

He spun around as the Mystic Dragon shot a fireball from his mouth, before he bicycle kicked it.

"Hyah!" he yelled.

The fireball shot down towards the Phoenix, slamming directly into its chest, making it stagger backwards from the force.

"Yeah!" Sora whooped, as he landed back of the Mystic Dragon.


Fairy Tail was just as stunned as before, but quickly began cheering for the Rangers.

"HOLY HELL THAT WAS AWESOME!" Macao roared in excitement.

"THAT WAS SO MANLY!" Elfman cheered at them.

"Did you see how that thing... how... you know!" Wakaba exclaimed.

"Oh yeah! Who's the man now?" Bickslow grinned.

"Quite impressive. Makes me want to test their skills personally," Freed said.


The Phoenix somehow regained its footing and let out another mighty roar that echoed throughout the kingdom, though it had a very noticeable dent in the center of its body.

"Damn!" Sora whistled in awe. "You took everything we got and you're still standing?! Alright guys, last chance to take it down!" 

 Suddenly, a burst of dark magic shot up into the sky, forming large, pitch black cloud and startling everyone.

"Huh? The hell's going on?" Gajeel exclaimed.

As if to answer his question, a purple spell seal appeared next to the Phoenix, before Morticon climbed out of it, now as a giant.

"Ah!" he grunted.

Sora turned to him, who laughed before the spell seal vanished. "No way! Morticon!" He gasped, seeing the cyborg leader still alive.

"You nearly had me, Red Ranger!" he roared. "But you're not the only one with a new power! Allow me to demonstrate! Sumbol Coniungo!"

Suddenly, Morticon and the Phoenix both started to glow brightly. Everyone shielded their eyes as they were blinded by the shining light that dawned upon them. 

When the light vanished, they looked back up at the duo and were shocked and horrified by what they saw.

Gone was Morticon and the Phoenix, as one figure stood in their previous spots. It was a gigantic kaiju-sized humanoid demon with Morticon's physique, blue and black skin, two curved horns, sharp fangs, sharp red talon claws and glowing yellow eyes. He also has enormous dense metallic skin wings. Lastly, he has a long and spiked tail waving behind him.

 Lastly, he has a long and spiked tail waving behind him

"What!?" Sora gaped in shock at what he witnessed.


Lucy, Eclair and Momon all looked up in horror at the sight of Morticon's new appearance.

"W-What happened?" Momon asked, fear deep within his eyes. "He looks completely different!"

"I don't know..." Lucy stammered with fright. "but I think that Morticon guy just merged with the Phoenix!"

Éclair looked on with nothing but shock and horror. "T-T-That's impossible! Controlling the Phoenix is impossible for man to accomplish, but actually MERGING with it?! Is he really insane?!" 


"Yes! This is it!!" The newly-powered Morticon spoke with a cackle. "The power! The absolute POWER! I shall run this dimension as the most powerful warrior of all time!" He declared, waving his sword around.

He looked back at Sora and the Mystic Dragon. "Now shall you deal with me, Power Ranger. And all the powers of a God!" His voice echoing throughout Veronica as he waved his sword around.

Chapter Text



Within Veronica

All eyes widened in absolute shock and dibelief at the sight of the newly empowered Morticon as he stood over the kingdom.

"Please tell me that's not what I think it is..." Macao gulped.

"That fiend merged with the Phoenix..." Carla's face paled.

"No way! Are you freaking kidding me?!" Gray exclaimed. "Seriously, as if that thing wasn't a pain already?!"

"It looks more intimidating." Mirajane summed up, though she did look somewhat nervous at this creature too.

Wendy felt a cold shiver run through her. "This presence...it feels similar to A-Acnologia."

Nearby, Erza and Makarov watched on in slient at they gazed at Morticon.

"I've never felt this much power in one place before..." The redhead muttered in a cold sweat.

"Which is why we must act now." A deep voice spoke from behind, causing her to turn around to see Makarov and Jet arrive, with the latter leaning over and panting for air.

Erza then noticed the Guild Master carrying a long box bigger than himself. "Master, what have you brought with you?" She asked.

"Our upper hand." Makarov said in a dark tone, as if to prepare for something mentally.

"The Magic Council has given permission to use it?" Erza questioned, only to receive a frantic shake of the head from Jet.

"Let the council be damned." Makarov retorted  with a stern look, before opening the box to show her the object inside.

It was a arrow with a triangular arrowhead, consisting of a pointed shaft with three fins behind it, which glows blue and has two white fletchings at the end of the shaft.


With the Rangers and Morticon

"Yes! This is it!!" The newly-powered Morticon spoke with a cackle. "The power! The absolute POWER! I shall run this dimension as the most powerful warrior of all time!" He declared, waving his sword around.

"No way!" Sora gasped, taking in his enemy's new appearance.

He looked back at Sora and the Mystic Dragon. "Now shall you deal with me, Power Rangers. And all the powers of a God!" His voice echoing throughout Veronica as he waved his sword around.

This appeared to snap the Red Ranger out of his stupor. "Bring it on, you bastard!" 

He then held his right hand out, before he lowered his arm, then he put his hands together, before holding his right up as he and the Mystic Dragon glowed. "Galwit Mysto Unios!" They all then shot up towards the sky. 


 (Titan Megazord Sequence)

 The Mystic Dragon then split up into the Mystic Titans as they began their Megazord configuration.Reina turned herself around and lowered her legs, the feet folding back, then Cyrus split in half and attached each half to Reina, forming some legs. Kiba screeched as he spread his wings out, which turned around, then landed on Reina's back, forming some wings. Reina's chest opened up, while her head's horns combined into a head and helmet resembling a wizard's hat. Ayumi and Sora both combined into a square - Ayumi being the middle - and went into Reina's chest, forming the 'M' symbol and the Titan Megazord. 

 (Sequence ends) 

Inside, a large square chessboard came up, followed by the Mystic spell symbol appearing at the back. The Rangers all rose up onto a square of the board, inside a large hollow pawn piece, holding their Magi Staffs. Sora was right in front of the symbol, with Ayumi on his right, while Cyrus was on his left, with Kiba on Cyrus' left, and Reina was on Ayumi's right. 

"Alright guys! Let's end this!" Sora said, crossing his forearms. 

 "Titan Megazord!" they all shouted, the others copying Sora. 

The Titan Megazord put its right hand near its hat and raised it up, showing it had green eyes, while the hat had the 'M' symbol on.

 The Titan Megazord put its right hand near its hat and raised it up, showing it had green eyes, while the hat had the 'M' symbol on

"Hyah!" the Rangers yelled as it stood at ease, shocking everyone again by a second transformation.

"Come on!" Morticon sneered.

"Titan Saber Ambush!" The Megazord then summoned a barrage of Titan Sabers and launched at their enemy.

The newly-powered monster then folded his wings in front of himself, shielding him from the projectiles.

Morticon scoffed as he unfolded his wings. "You call that power!? I'll show you real power!" He bellowed, launching forward and slashing the Megazord's chest with his sword, knocking it away. It went flying across the ground and hit several buildings hard, making sparks come out of it.

"AH!" Reina moaned.

"AH!" Ayumi yelped.

"AH!" Cyrus groaned.

"Whoa!" Kiba yelped.

"AHH!" Sora moaned.

Morticon proceeded to march forward towards his enemies with a dark cackle.

"Damnit!" Reina gasped. "Was he really that strong before!?"

"No, I don't think so!" Cyrus added frantically. "It was probably from that spell he used to merge with the Phoenix! It must've boosted his power far beyond what it was when he fought the previous Mystic Force!"

"So, what now?!" Ayumi exclaimed, turning to him.

"We gotta fight him?"Kiba questioned.

"Looks like we don't have a choice." Sora said. "Come on, guys!"

The Titan Megazord raised its saber up to slash Morticon, but he blocked it with his sword, then slashed it down the chest twice in an X shape, knocking it back slightly.

"Ah! Let's take it to the sky." Sora said.

The Titan Megazord spread its wings out, enabling itself to summon a Mystic Seal in the sky which it then flies through, up above the clouds.

"Hyah!" the Rangers yelled as the Titan Megazord then held up its saber.

"Spirits of the Ancient Titans!" they shouted, as the spirits came up around the Titan Megazord, in the same order as the spell seals.

"Come on!" Morticon dared, holding up his sword and spreading out his wings before using them to fly towards his foes.

"Titans Attack!" the Rangers shouted.

The Titan Megazord dived down towards Morticon, before the Phoenix spirit shot forward, followed by the the Garuda, the Mermaid, the Sprite, then the Minotaur.

"Hi-yah!" the Rangers yelled.

The Titan Megazord slashed its saber down through the spell seal, as Morticon slashed his sword, locking them together.

"AH!" he growled, pulling his sword away.

The Titan Megazord went flying away, as lightning came out all over the cockpit.

"AHH!" the Rangers moaned.

The Titan Megazord spun around in the air before regaining its flight path.

"Is that the best you've got?" Morticon asked, pointing his sword at it.

"Hardly!" Sora retorted.

The Titan Megazord straighten itself up, as Morticon's sword lit up with dark magic, before he held it sideways.

"AH! Now you'll see what true power feels like!" he roared, slashing it out as steam came out of his head. "Dark Magic Strike!"

He waved his sword around, then slashed it up diagonally, hitting the Titan Megazord and causing it to explode, sending the Rangers flying towards the ground.

"AHH!" Sora cried, flipping forward as he de-morphed.

"AHHH!" Kiba yelled, de-morphing.

"AH!" Reina cried, de-morphing.

"AHH!" Ayumi screamed, de-morphing.

"AH!" Cyrus yelled, flipping forward as he de-morphed too.

They all landed atop a roof on their backs near each other.  "Uh!" they moaned.

"It's official. He's even stronger than last time!" Kiba moaned, clutching his chest.

"Thanks, Captain Obvious." Reina snarked, sitting up.

"Just how much power did that merge give him?" Cyrus questioned, fixing his glasses. 

"How are we supposed to fight him if we don't have that kind of power?" Ayumi wondered, clutching her left arm.

Sora groaned as he clutched his chest.


Morticon let out another angry roar, as he landed on the ground, sending debris careening away left and right.

"Run!" Cana yelled to her guild mates, who quickly obliged, and started bolting away. 

"What about that bastard!?" Gajeel demanded, gesturing to Morticon.

"We can't just do nothing!" Natsu agreed.

"We'll find another way!" Carla said. "Attacking him like this obviously won't work!" With that, the Fairy Tail members made their escape. Several of Veronica guards, however, had the bright idea to try and fight the menace.

"Take this!" One guard said, as he thrusted his explosion spear at Morticon, only for it harmlessly bounce off. Morticon turned his attention to them, before his sword lit up with dark magic.

"Begone, pitiful humans!" he boomed and, with a massive slash, unleashed a power magic attack, causing multiple explosions that tore up much of the surrounding area around them. 

Though most of the guards and citizens were just caught in the shockwaves and sent flying, a few had the unfortunate fate of being caught in the explosions.

"HAHAHAHA!" Morticon cackled. "Let this day be known as the start of my rule!"


"NO!" Cream cried, as he reached out in vain to the crumbling glory of his kingdom.


(with Fairy Tail)

The Fairy Tail mages looked over the ruins of what was the Kingdom of Veronica.

"Wow...the entire kingdom is in ruins," Happy stuttered.

"I admit I feel sorry for the kingdom," Panther Lily said softly, "But everyone down there..."

"Those were innocent people," Carla said, "They didn't deserve what the scoundrel did to them."

"All of those people...children...gone." Wendy whispered in sadness.


With Lucy, Eclair and Momon

The trio's jaws dropped at the destruction of Veronica. "Oh my God..." Lucy whispered in shock, placing a hand over her mouth.

"I-It's all gone," Momon said, flying beside the girls. "The entire kingdom is in shambles."

"To think a fiend of such calibre would show itself here!" Eclair muttered, "What are we to do? There is no way to defeat such creature!"


With the Rangers

The HF Rangers gasped in shock at the sight of Veronica's ruined state.

"Oh no...!" Ayumi gasped.

"He...killed those people." Kiba said with wide eyes.

"Is this really how it's gonna end?" Cyrus gasped.

"Urgh..." Reina growled.

"No!" Sora said, getting up. "This is not how it ends. Who cares if he has more power? So do we! Let's show him real magic!"

The others all got up, inspired by his words and determination.

"Yeah! Let's show this overgrown bastard what we're made of!" Reina said, pointing at Morticon.

"Right!" Ayumi, Cyrus and Kiba said, as all five took out their morphers and lowered them.

They all pressed the three buttons.

"Magical Source, Mystic Force!"


(Morph sequence)

The screen split into five, Ayumi in the top left, Reina in the top right, Kiba in the bottom left, Cyrus in the bottom right, Sora in the middle.

Galwit Mysto Prifior

A spell shot out from their wands, creating a spell seal above each of them. They all jumped up and went through the spell seals, morphing up, then they turned as their helmets came on, before doing their Mystic hand poses.

"Yah!" they shouted.

(End morph sequence)

They all back flipped through the air.

"Yah!" They all yelled before landed on the edge of a cliff.

"MORTICON!" Sora bellowed loudly.

"Huh?" Morticon gasped, as he and everyone else looked up at the team.

"Don't you think you've won yet!" Cyrus yelled.

"Yeah!" Kiba agreed. "We've got the high ground!"

They all took out their morphers and flung their capes around.

"Let's show 'em what we got!" Sora said, as they lowered their morphers.

They all pressed 1-2-0 on their morphers.

"Legendary Source, Mystic Force!" they shouted, waving their arms around, before holding their right up and their left hands by their elbows, before holding their right hands up in the air.


(Legend Warrior Sequence)

They pressed the button on their morphers, creating a spell seal above each of them.

Galwit Mysto Neramax!

The spell seals went over each of them, which began to change and upgrade their suits. Sora gained a pair of wings on either side of his helmet, with three holes in, while Kiba gained a pair of lighting shaped wings on either side of his helmet, while Cyrus gained a tailfin on top of his, and some scales at the back near the neck. Ayumi gained a pair of wing-like ridges on either side of her helmet, while Reina gained Minotaur horns that swept backwards and ran down either side of hers. Their capes vanished and got replaced by white chest armor, which had gold bits at the top, and a gem matching their color near the heart. Their gloves and boots changed white, with golden armor on the forearms and up to their knees, then they held out their left hands, then a staff with a lion's face and head with 5 numbers around it like an old telephone, with a firebird's head and wings at the top, appeared in their left hands.

The screen split into five, from left to right, Kiba, Cyrus, Sora, Ayumi and Reina, who all turned right and waved their staffs out.

"Hyah!" they yelled, turning back, as a Mystic symbol appeared behind them, this one shaped like a flower with five corners.

"Ha!" Reina yelled, jumping up, as rocks flew past her.

She landed on a large rock stand with her legs spread, before she got up, then she clutched her fist.

"Yeah!" she said, spinning and waving her staff around.

"Element of Earth, Green Legend Warrior!" she shouted, holding her staff longways, while holding her right hand out.

"Element of Earth, Green Legend Warrior!" she shouted, holding her staff longways, while holding her right hand out

Ayumi jumped up from a field as wind blew petals past her, before she landed crouched on a large rock. She got up and held her staff down diagonally to her right, then she clutched her fist.

"Yeah!" she said, spinning and waving her staff around.

"Element of Wind, Pink Legend Warrior!" she shouted, holding her staff down under her left arm, while holding her right arm up.

"Element of Wind, Pink Legend Warrior!" she shouted, holding her staff down under her left arm, while holding her right arm up

Cyrus jumped up from a batch of water, before he landed crouched down on a large rock. He got up and held his staff longways, up slightly, as water splashed behind him, before he clutched his fist.

"Yeah!" he said, spinning and waving his staff around.

"Element of Water, Blue Legend Warrior!" he shouted, bending down, holding his staff out in front of him, with his right hand near his helmet, shaped like a mouth.

"Element of Water, Blue Legend Warrior!" he shouted, bending down, holding his staff out in front of him, with his right hand near his helmet, shaped like a mouth

Kiba jumped up from the ground and landed crouched down on a large rock, before he got up and held his staff up. Lightning went off in the sky, before he clutched his fist, then he spun around and waved his staff around.

"Element of Lightning, Yellow Legend Warrior!" he shouted, holding his staff longways, while holding his right hand near his chest, his arm on top of his left.

Sora jumped up from a batch of fire, before he landed crouched down on a rock, before he got up with his legs spread, holding his staff behind him, then he clutched his fist

Sora jumped up from a batch of fire, before he landed crouched down on a rock, before he got up with his legs spread, holding his staff behind him, then he clutched his fist.

"Yeah!" he said, spinning and waving his staff around.

"Element of Fire, Red Legend Warrior!" he shouted, spreading his arms out, as fire burst behind him.

"Element of Fire, Red Legend Warrior!" he shouted, spreading his arms out, as fire burst behind him

They all twirled their staffs around in a circle, as the flower spell seal came up behind them.

"We call forth the power of light magic!" they shouted, as their spell seals combined into a bigger one.

They held their staffs out, before Sora's visor shined.

"Mystic Force Legend Warriors!" they shouted.

Sora held his staff up with his right hand, as Ayumi held hers down diagonally to her left, while Reina held her out, with her left arm out, while Cyrus and Kiba did the opposite of them respectfully, as an explosion went off behind them.

(Sequence Ends)


"WHAT!?" Morticon yelled in shock at the Rangers' new appearances and power.


With Fairy Tail

The FT mages' eyes shot up with awe at they stared at the Rangers.

"Ah!" 

"They changed again!" 

"Incredible." 

"Holy crap!"

"Wow!"

"Amazing...!"


Lucy, Momon and Éclair looked up and saw the Rangers facing Morticon.

"Is that Sora and his team up there?" Momon asked.

"Yeah, and it looks like they changed too!" Lucy said, pointing at the Rangers.

"Such... power..." Éclair trailed off.


"It seems that our new friends had more power than we thought." Makarov said with an impressed look.

"Remarkble...!" Erza said in awe while taking in every little detail about the Rangers.


With the Rangers

The Rangers all held their staffs up diagonally in front of themselves.

"Let's take it to the next level!" Sora called out.

"Right!" they others said, holding their staffs out. "Mystic Lion Staff!"

They twirled their staffs around, then turned them around, before Sora put his finger on his 3, then pulled it down.


(Mystic Zord Sequence)

"Code 3! Legend of the Sky, Mystic Firebird!" he shouted, waving his staff around, before he crouched down.

He held it up as it glowed, before it vanished and turned into a flower spell seal. Sora interlocked his fingers as he waved his hands about, before the seal came over him, before he put his legs together and spread his arms out like wings.

"Hyah!" he yelled.

The spell seal went up over him, making fire come out of his arms, transforming him into a gold and scarlet red Firebird Zord, which screeched and flew off, fire coming from its wings.

The screen split into four, Ayumi in the top left, Reina in the top right, Cyurs in the bottom left, and Kiba in the bottom right, all putting their fingers on their 4's, before pulling them down.

"Code 4! Legend of the Jungle, Mystic Lion!" they shouted, waving their staffs around, before they crouched down.

They all held up their staffs as they glowed, before they vanished and turned into a flower spell seal.

"Yah!" they yelled, waving their arms as it went over them.

Ayumi held her left out in front of her, with her right behind her, while Reina turned left and crouched down, holding her out on either side of her. Cyrus held his left in front of him as he turned right, while holding his right to his side, while Kiba turned his head and bent down, holding his left near his helmet, and his right out behind him. They all turned and all held their arms out like claws, before they all came together and transformed into a gold and sliver Lion Zord, which had the Mystic symbol on its legs, and roared.

(Sequence ends)


Once again, everyone was taken back by the appearance of the Rangers' new Zords as the Mystic Lion raced down the road as the Mystic Firebird screeched and flew over it.

"Fire!" Sora shouted.

The Mystic Firebird shot bursts of fire from its wings, which hit Morticon all over.

"AHH!" he growled, as sparks came out of him.

"Yeah!" Sora whooped.

The Mystic Firebird flew off past Morticon, before the Mystic Lion jumped up, then clawed Morticon with its claws, knocking him back.

"AH!" he growled, sparks coming out of him.


(Megazord Sequence)

Both Mystic Zords roared, before the ground beneath the Mystic Lion rose up, then two lines of fire rose up along the ground in front of it. The Mystic Firebird flew towards the start of the fires, then created two fire circles as it flew along the path, before it did a loop-te-loop and created a third, which it rested on. The Mystic Lion roared and jumped down through the first ring, then ran and jumped through the second, then ran and jumped through the third, combining with the Mystic Firebird. It raised its front legs and upper body up, as the Mystic Firebird twirled its wings around, before the Mystic Lion's head rotated down 90 degrees, before a head rose up from its top with blue eyes, with a bird's head around. The Lion's head roared, before it held its claw arms out, as fire came up behind it, followed by the flower spell seal.

(Sequence Ends)

(Sequence Ends)


"Manticore Megazord!" the Rangers shouted.

Inside, the cockpit was just like the Titan Megazord's, only it had the Legend Warrior symbol instead of the Mystic symbol at the back.

The Manticore Megazord clapped its claws together twice.

"Yeah!" the Rangers whooped.

Morticon clenched his fist in complete anger. "Once again, you Rangers stand in my way! Why don't you just die!?" He roared.

"Like I said before, there's no way someone like you will live forever! We will stop the Phoenix and we're going to stop you too." Sora retorted.

"Rrrra! Bring it!" Morticon roared, marching forward.

He tried to slash the Manticore Megazord, but it blocked his sword with its claws. The Megazord then knocked away the sword, before it clawed his chest twice, then grabbed him and turned them around.

"Yah!" the Rangers yelled.

Morticon knocked the Manticore Megazord's claws up, before it clawed his chest, knocking him back.

"Ah!" he moaned.

"Let's give him all we got." Sora said.

"Ha!" the Rangers yelled, holding their staffs out, before twirling them around, then pointed them forward. "Hyah!"

The Manticore Megazord began skidding forward on its feet, as Morticon got up, then it fired blasts from its lion's head, while its wings lit up with fire.

"Manticore Lasers!" the Rangers shouted.

The Manticore Megazord kept firing them, hitting Morticon legs, knocking him back slightly.

"AH!" Morticon moaned. 

"Ha! We've got him on the ropes now!" Kiba exclaimed in joy.

  Reina then cut in. "Yeah, but it'll take a lot more than that to take him down for good." 

 Sora nodded in agreement. "Reina's right. Even after merging with Fire Heart and using the strongest attack I've got, he still won't go down." 

 "What if we tried a different approach?" Cyrus asked, getting everyone's attention.

 Ayumi tilted her head. "What do you mean, Cy?" 

"Well, the only way the previous Mystic Force Rangers was able to defeat Morticon was by getting rid of his sword. Maybe we'll have an easier chance of beating him if we either get rid of his sword, or destroy it." The blue Ranger informed.

 Sora smirked at this. "Sounds like a plan. And since you already know of a way to beat him, we'll follow your lead." 

 After that, Sora and Cyrus' seats magically switched places with Cyrus being in the middle of the cockpit and Sora in Cyrus' previous spot.

The Manticore Megazord's claws retracted themselves, showing hands.

"Legend Striker!" the Rangers shouted, crossing their forearms over.

A staff came from the Lion head's mouth, the end of which resembled a spear, with a flame symbol near it. The Manticore Megazord took it from mouth, then slashed it at Morticon, who came towards it.

"Hyah!" the Rangers yelled.

"Enough!" Morticon bellowed in anger. "Counterattack!"

He shot several magic blasts at the Manticore Megazord, where it then conjured fire in front of itself, creating a fireball, as it raised its Striker up.

"Hyah!" the Rangers yelled, slashing their staffs down.

The Manticore Megazord slashed its Striker down over the fireball, sending it flying towards Morticon, hitting his chest.

"AH!" Morticon moaned.

An explosion went off, knocking Morticon down onto his side, before he turned onto his back.

"Yeah!" Sora whooped, punching his fist up.


With Fairy Tail

"Come on guy, kick that thing's ass!" Cana shouted.

"Don't give up, beat it to a pulp!" Bickslow also shouted.

"Take that monstrosity down!" Evergreen cheered.

"Show him the true power of Fairy Tail, kick his ass !" Natsu encouraged.

Morticon hears the shouts and the cheers for the Rangers, causing him to roar in hatred and anger as he faced the Megazord once more.

"You cannot beat me! I AM A GOD!" He yelled.

"Wrong, you're no gos. You're just a sad excuse pretending to be a god." Reina countered.

"And we don't serve false deities!" Cyrus added in.

"Arraah!" Morticon bellowed as he ran and tried to hit the Manticore Megazord again, but it dodged forward to avoid it. The Megazord then spun around and tried to hit him with its Striker, but he blocked it with his sword.

"There is no way that we're letting you destroy this kingdom and the world!" Ayumi refused.

"You will not stop me! I'm going to achieve what I have worked so hard for and I refuse to lose from the likes of you!" Morticon shouted, thrusting his sword up in the air as it began to glow red.

"What's happening with me? I feel so weak all of a sudden," Ayumi groaned.

"AH! Our magic!" Kiba cried. "I can feel him taking it!"

"It's Morticon. He's gathering power from everybody around it," Cyrus groaned.

Morticon looked up and saw a giant orange sphere of magic above his sword, growing larger and larger, until it was large enough to rival any star. Though Sora gained a look of grim determination, despite the situation.

"Come on, Rangers! Defeat isn't an option!" He declared, clenching his fist.

"Indeed, Red Wizard."

The Rangers had perked up at the sudden voice as they looked around for the voice.

"The hell was that?" Reina questioned, looking around for the source of the voice.

"I don't know, but I heard it too." Cyrus replied.

The first thing they noticed that time froze around them as a blue light appearing within the cockpit and in front of the Rangers, before manifesting into the spirit of a familiar elder man.

"Greetings to you all, Mysterious mages." he spoke in a kind tone, surprising the team.

"Um...does this guy sound kinda familiar to anyone else?" Kiba asked, with a blink. He could have sworn he'd saw the man before, even his heard his voice.

Ayumi's eyes widened in realization at the man. "Wait, you're Kalard!" She gasped.

"What!?" The other Rangers exclaimed in surprise at the same time.

"You mean Eclair's old man?" Reina muttered. "But I thought he passed on long ago."

"He did," Sora blinked in confusion before his eyes slightly widened in realization. "Unless, the man that's talking to us right now is Kalard's ghost." 

"But how is this possible?" Cyrus questioned.

 "I know you five have many questions right now about my spirit being here, but I have something very important that you all need to know." The spirit of Kalard spoke to them.

"What is it?" Ayumi asked the man.

The man turned his back to them "As I'm sure you've all realized by now, half of the Phoenix Stone was stolen by the Kingdom of Veronica. Afterwards, it was built on top of the ruins of Fire Village. That was where I lived with my wife and our daughter, Eclair, long ago," He explained.

"We don't understand," Cyrus replied.

"It was burnt to the ground 400 years ago, the night Eclair was given eternal life," Kalard revealed, shocking the Rangers.

"Say what?" Kiba inquired. "Eclair is immortal!?"

"But how is that possible...?" Reina muttered.

"After the Fire Village was attacked, Eclair was given the blood of the Phoenix to save her life." Kalard informed. "Because of this, she was tasked with carrying the Phoenix Stone until the time came for it to be destroyed." He turned his head down. "400 years, an expanse of time no one should endure. She must've been in so much pain."

"Now I understand what she meant by magic bringing sorrow..." Ayumi replied sadly.

Sora blinked as he recalled something. "In your recording, you said that your Dispel Magic was finally completed, but you didn't have a chance to use it."

"That's correct." Kalard said, turning back to the Rangers. "Four hundred years ago, I completed my work on a magical weapon that would be used against the Phoenix. It was called: The Arrow of Evil's Destruction. I entrusted it to the Magic Council afterwards."

He then gestured to some nearby buildings where Erza stood in a white garments as she was seen charging up said arrow.  "It's currently in the possession of your Guild."

"Really? So that must be the Dispel Magic you mentioned in your recording to Éclair?" Cyrus asked.

Kalard nodded in response. "Yes. It is extremely powerful. It will completely annihilate the Phoenix." He told them gravely. "However, it comes at a heavy price."

This caught the Rangers' full attention. "What kind of price?" Ayumi fearfully asked Kalard's ghost.

A sad look appeared on the man's face. "Anyone that has consumed the blood of the Phoenix will disappear along with it."

It became deathly silent as they let that sink, before the Rangers' eyes widened behind their helmets in horror and shock.

"They will?" Kiba gasped.

"Meaning that the person who has the blood of the Phoenix will die?" Cyrus questioned.

 Kalard nodded slowly, confirming their horror.

"No way..." Ayumi whispered.

"Damn!" Reina swore in anger at this. "So, if we destroy Morticon, we risk killing Eclair too. But if we don't, then he'll kill everyone else. Then, what the hell do we do?"

Sora clenched his fist, thinking of a solution. None of them wanted the death of an innocent woman on their hands, but with Morticon still around, what could they do?

 'There's gotta be a way to destroy Morticon without killing Éclair. But, what?' He thought in frustration, before turning his gaze on his Mystic Lion Staff. 'All of this magic power and we can't even...' Suddenly, his face went into a shock of realization.

 "Wait, I think I got it!" He announced, getting everyone's attention. "Kalard, since your Dispel Magic is powerful enough to destroy the Phoenix, is it possible that it can also sever Éclair's link to the Phoenix?"

The Rangers all looked surprised by their friend/leader's question, before facing Kalard, who appeared surprised himself.

"Well, yes. It has the power to remove spells from their afflicted target, making them null." The man explained. "Why do you ask?"

Reina perked up in thought. "You believe if we can find a way to use it, then we might be able to destroy Morticon and the Phoenix without killing Eclair, right?" She assumed.

"For real!?" Kiba yelped in shock.

Cyrus hummed with narrowed eyes. "But, even if it could work, how are we going to be able to use Dispel Magic?"

Kalard was quiet for a moment before gaining a determined look. "There might be a way." He spoke, getting their attention. "I can give whatever magic I have left to you all so you can sever Éclair's link to the Phoenix."

The team was once again taken back by the offer as the mage continued on. "My daugther has suffered through so much because of the cursed stone, I merely wish to free her from it. So, as a request from a father, please save my dear daughter from her pain."

He then held up his hands as they lit up with magic, before the magic shot towards the Lion Staffs, making them glow.

"Whoa!" Sora said.

"Huh?" the girls muttered, as they all looked up.

"Check it out!" Kiba said.

They all held up their Lion Staffs as the ceiling glowed, before the ends of their staffs did.

"Whoa." Cyrus said, amazed.

"I have now given you all my remaining magic to destroy the Phoenix." Kalard said as his spirit began to fade. "Now, I can go rejoin my wife on the other side."

They all lowered their Lion Staffs and looked at the mage. "Thank you, Kalard." Sora said with gratitude in his voice.

Kalard smiled at them. "Good luck, young wizards. And if you see my daughter, tell her that I love her and that I'm so proud that she has found friends that care deeply about her." He said, before disappearing into a burst of light.

Upon the mage's disappearance, time seemed to resume as Morticon was still charging up his sphere of magic.

"Looks like time is back to normal." Reina said, turning to look at the others.

"Great! Now we can put this new power to good use." Sora said.

"Oh, yeah." Kiba agreed.

"Yeah." Cyrus agreed, nodding.

"You said it, Sora." Ayumi agreed.

They put their hands over their symbol on their pawns, making them glow.

The Manticore Megazord raised up its hand as it glowed a bright blue, shining brightly.

"Dispel Magic Seal!" the Rangers yelled, holding their Lion Staffs up. "Ha!"

A spell seal shot from the Megazord's hand, which flew over to Morticon and planted itself on his chest.

"What?!" Morticon gasped as he tried to move, only to begin feeling a slight pain in his chest. "What magic is this?!"

The Rangers held their Lion Staffs up, as the Manticore Megazord brought its Striker back like it's throwing a spear as it continued to glow with magic.

"Mystic Dispel Javelin!" The Rangers shouted, slashing their Lion Staffs down diagonally.

The Manticore Megazord then threw its Striker, launching it through the air at incredible speed straight at the monster and embedded itself inside the magic seal and Morticon's chest.

"AHH!" he moaned while white smoke and sparks began to come out of him. The magic ball that was he was charging also dispered into thin air.

After a few seconds, Morticon's chest began to glow bright before releasing a brilliant, rippling shockwave of magic that extended throughtout Veronica.


Several moments earlier...

"Erza would never hurt Eclair like that!?" Lucy protested.

"I chose not to disclose that fact to her. This will be my sin to bear alone." Makarov stated.

"Go ahead, you have my blessing." Éclair permitted.

"What? What are you saying?" Lucy questioned.

Makarov nodded and prepared to give the signal. Lucy pleaded to Makarov to not destroy Morticon, who's merged with the Phoenix. Éclair reasoned with Lucy that the Phoenix must be stopped.

"Lucy, it's for the best. The Phoenix must be stopped." Éclair said.

"Not like this!" Lucy protested.

"I've had a long, long life. I don't want it to last forever. I will always be with you. The memories that we made together, those will never die. I promise. It's such a special gift, so thank you, Lucy" Eclair said to the blonde, who cried in anguish.

She then turned her head to Momon as he looked down sadly at his friends. "Wouldn't you agree, Momon?"

"Yeah." The little bird nodded with tears in his eyes. He turned to Lucy. "Lucy, thank you for befriending her."

Before Lucy could say more, the group saw a large blue beam shoot through the air as it slammed into the Phoenix. Seconds later, everyone within Veronica could see a veil of blue light that was spreading from the center of the kingdom and making its way closer to them.

"Brace yourselves!" Makarov warned as everyone in the area prepared for some kind of impact as the blue light shined over them.

As soon as it appeared, the light vanished as everyone looked around in confusion. There was a stunned silence as everyone tried to wrap their minds over what they had just experienced.

"W-What happened...?" Lucy wondered aloud.


Morticon took several steps back as he grunted in pain with the Striker still in his chest. 

"AHH! What did you do to me?!" He exclaimed loudly.

The Manticore Megazord moved over to its foe and grabbed onto the Striker. 

"Sever the strings of fate." Sora replied, before the Megazord ripped out its weapon from Morticon's chest.

"Argh!" Morticon roared, holding his new chest wound. "You, and all of the humans in the Surface World, will pay for that!"

Before both sides could do anything, Erza finishes charging the arrow with her magic and fires it at Morticon, hitting him in the chest which causes him stumble backwards in pain and drop his sword onto the ground. 

"Look, he's not holding his sword, anymore!" Ayumi pointed out.

"And with Éclair's link to the Phoenix severed, we should be able to destroy him now!" Cyrus informed them.

"Time to finish this, Rangers!" Sora declared, holding out his Lion Staff.

"Right!" The others agreed as they do the same.

(Cue Mystic Force Theme)

"Legend Striker Spin Attack!" the Rangers shouted, holding up their left fists.

They put them down on their podiums - just like in the Titan Megazord - which glowed.

The Manticore Megazord held up its Striker and spun it around, before putting the pole end against the ground. The spear end began to spin around, as fire came from the Firebird's wings, as Morticon looked up at it. The fire moved and went around the end of the Striker, while inside, the Rangers held their Lion Staffs with both hands.

"Hyah!" they yelled, slashing them down diagionally from right to left.

The Manticore Megazord spun its Striker around, then aimed and pointed it at Morticon, shooting a whirlwind of fire.

"AHH!" Morticon moaned, as it hit him and shattering the Phoenix stone in the process. "No...how can I BE defeated again, by a pack of filthy Rangers?"

"Then let this be a lesson to you." Reina stated.

"Don't mess with Power Rangers!" Ayumi, Kiba, and Cyrus told him.

"AGHH!" Morticon moaned, as his body were sparking tons of electricity from the severe damage. "The great Morticon has fallen, but Queen Alsatia will prevail!"

The Rangers held up their Lion Staffs in front of them. "Checkmate!" they said, turning them right.

"Rarghh!" The Ranger villain gave one final cry from the immense pain before finally exploding to death, as the explosion caused a shockwave, making nearby buildings slightly shake for a few seconds before stopping.

Morticon and the Phoenix were both finished...for good.

Chapter Text



Fairy Tail Universe - Kingdom of Veronica

Upon seeing Morticon getting destroyed by the Megazord, everybody's jaws dropped as they stared at the outcome of the battle, but then began cheering in celebration; clearly hyped up by the conclusion of the epic giant battle.

"Holy crap! That was awesome!" Natsu exclaimed with excitement, as Happy floated beside him.

"Aye sir!"

"THEY WON!" Macao and Wakaba both said gasping in awe, with their mouths hanging open at what they just witnessed.

"How damn." Cana said with a smirk.

"Just how the hell are they able to do all this shit like that!?" Gajeel said, impressed.

"Quite impressive." Panther Lily noted.

"SO MANLY!" Elfman exclaimed loudly.

"Thank goodness." Wendy said in huge relief as she fell to her knees. "It's finally over."


On the sidelines, Makarov couldn't help but be amazed at how his new guild members just fought off, and defeated the monstrousity.

"Eclair!" Lucy shouted, drawing the guild master's attention. Makarov and Momon both looked at where Éclair was in Lucy's arms, but something was off about her. Much to Makarov's surprise, Eclair was looking down at her hands with wide eyes, completely shocked by the fact that she wasn't disappearing. 

"W-What...?" She uttered, unable to respond.

Momon gasped in amazement. "Eclair, you're not disappearing!" He said eagerly. 

"Eclair!" Lucy called out, holding the girl tightly.

Makarov just looked simply amazed. 'I don't understand. I thought those who carry the blood of the Phoenix will disappear if the Phoenix is destroyed. Unless...' His eyes widened in realization before looking back towards the battlefield. 'That veil of light from the battle. Could it be the cause of this?'


"Oh, yeah!" Sora whooped, holding his arms up.

"Yeah!" Kiba cheered, as he and Cyrus high-fived.

"We took down one of the most vile Ranger villains in history!" the Blue Ranger exclaimed in joy. 

"All right!" Ayumi whooped, punching her right fist into the air.

"Hell yeah!" Reina whooped, holding Lion Staff up with both hands. 

Sora then looked down at his hand as everyone turned to him.

"Great job, Rangers." he said, looking at all his friends. "Morticon's gone for good."

"Finally." Reina said, relieved.

"Forever, this time." Cyrus added.

"All right!" Ayumi whooped, nodding.

"Sweet." Kiba said.

That was when Ayumi perked up at something. "Oh right! We should go check on Eclair!"

The others all blinked at this. "Good call, Ayu!" Reina agreed. 

"Yeah, she's gonna flip out when she finds out her dad helped us." Cyrus joined in.

Suddenly, Kiba looked out of the Megazord, and saw, to his surprise, Eclair with Lucy, Momon and Makarov nearby. "Found her!" He spoke, pointing in their direction.

Sora nodded in agreement. "Alright, let's go." 

Soon after, the Manticore Megazord suddenly began glowing in a bright light before fading into sparkles, allowing the Rangers to jump down and land on the ground, much to everyone's surprise.

"Power Down." All the Rangers said, de-morphing out of their outfits, now back in their Mystic Force uniforms.

They then made their way over to Eclair's location in a hurry. "Hey!" Reina called out as they saw the group in sight.

"Guys...!" Momon perked up at the Rangers.

"Glad to see that you're all okay. Especially you, Éclair." Cyrus smiled down at the girl.

"Yeah." Ayumi agreed with a nod. "Looks like that spell really worked!"

This got the group's attention. "Spell?" Lucy questioned with wide eyes. "What spell?"

Makarov came to the realization of what they meant. "That massive blue light..."

"Righty-o, Bossman!" Kiba said with a cheeky smile 

"Basically, we severed the link that bonded her and the Phoenix." Reina informed, much to the group's surprise.

"Y-You knew?" Momon blinked in confusion.

"I...I don't understand." Eclair said. "How...what...?"

"But how?" Lucy looked up at them with teary eyes, "Master said that anyone that has the blood of the Phoenix would die if the Phoenix is destroyed, but Éclair's still here."

The Rangers all looked at each other before nodding in agreement as Cyrus took a step forward. 

 "You may not believe me, but..." Cyrus said before answering Lucy's question. "We had help from Kalard- or rather, his ghost."

Everyone's eyes widened at this, especially Éclair's as her mouth dropped open. "M-My father...?" She muttered softly.

"Yeah, we were just as surprised, too!" Kiba exclaimed, waving his hands around wildly. "Dude appeared out if nowhere!" 

 "He told us everything," Sora spoke, walking up next to Cyrus. "About Fire Village, about the Phoenix Stone, and about your four hundred year mission. When we told him how we wanted to save you from your suffering, he gave us the last of his magic to dispel the link between you and the Phoenix before disappearing." 

 "He really loved you, Éclair." Ayumi said as she knelt down by the woman. "And he said he was so proud that you found friends that care deeply about you." 

 Hearing that caused tears to stream down Éclair's face from numerous emotions. "Father...!" She uttered as she continued to sob. 

 Lucy tightened her hold onto the girl, who then cried into the blonde's chest. Lucy just let her do so as she rubbed her back. "It's alright, Éclair. I'm here for you." She told her soothingly. 

 The Rangers and Momon watched the scene with smiles on their faces before the yellow bird turned towards the group. 

 "Power Rangers..." He began before bowing his head. "Thank you so much." 

 Ayumi got up from her kneeling position and walked over to Momon to gently pet him on the head with her hand. "Don't mention it, little guy. Helping people like you and Éclair is what we do."

 The other Rangers watched the scene between Ayumi and Momon with smiles on their faces, not realizing- or noticing- that Makarov was watching them.

 'Incredible... Kalard appeared in front of these young ones to save his daughter from her death.' Makarov thought to himself about what the Rangers had said. 'Considering what they've done today, he must've saw how special they were.'


Fairy Tail - The Next Day....

"You're leaving, Eclair?" Lucy asked with a sad smile.

The next morning, Eclair and Momon were standing outside of the ruins of the guild to leave as the Fairy Tail mages and Rangers joined to send the duo off.

"Yes. Now that the Phoenix Stone is gone and I no longer carry it's blood, it's time for us to depart." The woman replied.

"Where will you go?" Cyrus questioned.

"I'm not sure. Perhaps, I'll just go and see what life has to offer. Maybe I'll meet wonderful people as well, like all of you."

"Well, you deserve it, Eclair." Ayumi smiled, sweetly.

"For sure!" Kiba added with a thumbs up.

"Not only that, you'll have this little guy to have your back." Reina snorted, gesturing to Momon.

Eclair smiled down at her partner. "That, I will." She then turned her gaze to the group. "I also wanted to thank you all again for everything you've done since I arrived in Magnolia. Especially you, Power Rangers. Thanks to you all, I was freed from the Phoenix's curse, and I'm really grateful for it."

"It's nothing," Sora said smiling. "We're always glad to be of help."

"Indeed." Erza added. "With the Phoenix Stone destroyed, no one will try to use it for evil again."

Natsu flashed a toothy grin. "You're always welcome to come back too." 

"Aye, sir." Happy also said. "I'll share some fish with you!"

"Not everyone enjoys fish like you, Happy." Carla commented.

"Hopefully things will be easier for you two." Wendy joined in.

Mirajane then walked up and gave Éclair a pouch. "Here's some food for you and Momon in case you get hungry."

"Thank you." Eclair said in gratitude, accepting the pouch of food before looking back at Lucy. "Lucy..."

"Eclair." The blonde moved forward to wrap her arms around the woman, who returned the embrace.

"I'm glad to have met you. Truly..." she said to her, as tears welled up in hers eyes. "Promise me you'll cherish our memories."

"I will, Eclair. I promise," Lucy replied quietly, as her eyes stung with tears. "As long as you promise that we'll see each other again."

"Of course."

The two women then broke the hug as Eclair stepped backwards and looked to her little friend. "Let's go, Momon."

The little bird smiled. "Okay!" He then turned to the group. "Goodbye, everyone. But before we go, I want everyone in Fairy Tail to know how much you've helped us, especially with keeping Éclair safe. Which is why I'm gonna work hard to be strong enough to protect her, just like how you all protected her."

Sora's face grew into a smirk. "You better work hard then," he remarked in response.

"Right!"

With that, Eclair and Momon proceeded to make their leave as everyone waved them off and wished them well.

Suddenly, the Rangers' Mystic Morphers began to glow, getting everyone's attention.

"What the?" Natsu said in confusion.

"Hey, ya think...?" Kiba thought. Sora looked at Reina, Cyrus and Ayumi, who all nodded in response.

They all pulled out their Morphers and pointed them forward together as they glowed brighter. Suddenly, a multicolored portal opened up in front of the group, which shocked everyone present.

"Guess that's our ride." Kiba said to his team

"Uhh, what is that?" Gray asked.

"It's time for us to get going, too." Cyrus told him.

This made the Fairy Tail mages surprised as they didn't expect the Rangers to leave so soon.

"Wait, you're leaving too?" Lucy asked in a sad voice.

"Yeah, I mean we came here to help you guys stop the Phoenix Stone and Morticon. Now that both accomplished what we came here to do, there's really no reason for us to stay here in this world any longer." Sora said, rubbing his head.

"Plus, we have our own lives to get back to, not to mention a big event coming up." Reina added in.

"But you could at least stay a bit longer," Wendy said to them. "We haven't gotten to celebrate with you."

"Sorry, I wish we could." Ayumi shook her head to them. "But we need to get back before people begin worrying about us for being gone for so long."

"When you put it like that, it does make sense." Erza said with a nod.

"Will we ever see you guys again?" Levy asked as she stepped forward.

The Rangers looked at each other for a moment before looking back at the mages.

"Who knows, chances are you may never see us again." Sora said making them worry. "But who knows, we may come in and pay you a visit if we got time."

"I don't want this to be goodbye forever as well." Lisanna smiled at them. "We will repay you for what you guys did here someday."

"So don't forget about us now," Mirajane said to him with a bright smile.

"Yeah, and I want to see more of your magic in action," Levy added in.

"Alright, you win. We'll come and visit you all from time to time." Kiba said making them happy. "This place really has grown on me."

"That's all we ask for." Makarov said and he shook hands with the Red Ranger. "I'm glad you all accepted to join Fairy Tail and there aren't enough words of gratitude to thank you for what you've done for us."

"And we're glad to be part of this guild," Sora said with a smile that Makarov returned.

Soon, the mages of Fairy Tail started to say goodbye to the Rangers one by one. Cana told them that when they returned, they should have a drink together, but none of them knew what to say to her. The Strauss siblings hugged/shook hands with the Rangers after talking, and it would have been nice if it wasn't for Elfman's back-breaking hug.

Now the team was talking with the members of Team Natsu. They spent more time with them, so it meant more to say goodbye to those mages.

"Well, this is it." Cyrus spoke.

Ayumi smiled in agreement. "We're going to miss you guys."

"We're gonna miss you all too," Wendy said while she hugged the Pink Ranger. "You helped save our world. I hope you can help more people out there."

"But try not to get into a lot of trouble," Carla added and Kiba laughed slightly.

"Right, I'll try to be more careful," the spiky, orange-haired boy said before looking at Gray and shaking hands with him.

"Make sure you stay alive; I wouldn't want to hear that something bad happened to you," Gray said.

"Fair enough," Reina assured him with a smirk. "And you better take good care of your girlfriend while we're gone!"

Gray stammered in shock at that. "W-What!?"

"You five did a great job, thank you for everything," Erza said. "Wherever you go, remember that you'll always have a home here."

"Yeah, I won't forget that," Sora nodded, then he looked at Natsu and the two smirked and fist-bumped.

"We have to team up again sometime." Sora said. "I wanna see more of your fire power in action!"

"You got it! But, you gotta come back soon so we can fight!" the Dragon Slayer said. "And also, bring your awesome dragon!"

"You got it!" Sora said.

"Good luck, Power Rangers!" Happy said. "Bring me a fish from your home when you return!"

"Sure, I'll see what I can do," said the boy smiling, before turning to the blonde Celestial Mage, the first person they met when they arrived in Fiore.

"Well, Lucy..." Cyrus said, trying to come up with something to say. "I'm glad we met that day. If it wasn't for you, I don't know if my friends and I would have joined this guild."

"I don't know if you guys should be thanking me," Lucy said with a smile. "You are the ones who saved me and Eclair that day."

"You would have done the same thing for us," Reina affirmed with a wave.

The blonde smiled at this. "Take care, okay? We're going to miss you guys a lot, so make sure you come back."

"Of course," Kiba said, giving a thumbs up.

 "I promise we'll see each other again." Ayumi agreed.

"Now then." Makarov then cleared his throat. "Erza, if you wouldn't mind."

"Of course, Master." The redhead nodded, requips into a new armor. It was depicted with an extravagant theme, emphasizing the metal pauldrons and tasset with yellow decorative markings. The skirt is given a more renaissance theme, featuring white frills along its edge and a blue banner hanging down from her waist with yellow markings, similar to the ones visible over the armor. Erza's winged headpiece extends from her ears symmetrically pointing upwards, with similar wings appearing over her pauldrons and footwear. The entire armor set is complemented by a velvet cape that is tucked under her pauldrons, which possesses a white fur finish and a yellow frilled edge.

She dubbed it Farewell Fairy Tail Armor.

She held a double sided lance with a flag of Fairy Tail on the top side of the lance. "Listen well." she declared clearly. "There are three conditions for anyone who leaves Fairy Tail!"

This got the Rangers' undivded attention. "What is it?" Sora questioned.

"One: You must never reveal sensitive information about Fairy Tail to others for as long as you live! Two: You must not have unauthorized contact with past clients or profit personally from them! Three: Even if we walk different paths, one must always live on as strong as you are able! You must never treat your own life as something insignificant!" Soon tears were falling from all of their eyes. "You must never forget the friends you love for as long as you live! Begin the Fairy Tail farewell ceremony!"

With that, all the mages began unleashing magic spells within the sky.

Natsu shot fireballs out of his mouth that exploded into fireworks. Wendy shot currents of wind into the air, while Gray and Juvia shot beams of ice and water, respectively, that exploded in the sky. Lucy made yellow circles with her magic and a faint glow shot into the sky before it exploded into fireworks. 

Sora, Ayumi, Cyrus, Reina and Kiba all looked up at where they were staring at, and gasped in amazement at the sight.

"Wow...!" Ayumi whispered in awe.

"Now that's what I call a 'send-off'." Kiba whistled with a grin.

"Now that's something you don't see everyday." Reina smirked, folding her arms under her bust.

"Since when do you actually see something like this at all?" Cyrus questioned Reina, who shrugged in response. The team paused to look up at the fireworks for a while, before they soon ended.

Finally, Sora said, "Come on. Let's get moving." They all nodded in agreement, and each of them gave their own goodbye to them and then went straight into the portal as they disappeared from sight.

Unknown to everyone, someone was watching the entire scene from atop of the guild building with a small smile on her face. 

"So those were the new members that stopped the Phoenix." The mysterious girl said with interest, as her long, wavy, pastel yellow-blonde hair blew in the wind. "Their magic was different from anything I've seen, yet their spirits were that of true fairies."

Mavis then looked up at the sky as she gazed at the blue sky. 'Power Rangers, huh? I hope I can meet you five in person.'


MHA Universe - Command Chamber

Katrina, Alpha and Solon stood over the panels, waiting for the team's return. That was when the former's eyes lit up. "The energy signals settling down in!" she told them excitedly, "That massive surge of energy from before has vanished!"

"Meaning, they accomplished their mission." Solon realized.

"Aye-yi-yi-yi-yi!" Alpha cheered in joy. "Sora and everyone else did it!"

"Now if we can just get those five back in one piece..." Solon hoped as she and Katrina made eye contact.

Just then, a portal behind them appeared, drawing the trio's attention. Sora, Reina, Cyrus, Kiba, and Ayumi, appeared out of the portal. They were now back in their regular clothes with their Fairy Tail marks gone from their hands.

"Cool, we're back!" Kiba commented in relief, along with the other Rangers.

"Finally!" Reina exclaimed, throwing her hands up.

"You're here!" Alpha said excitedly as the gang all lined up together in front of them.

"Hey, guys." Cyrus waved at them.

"How's everything?" Ayumi asked them.

"Not a single trace of that massive energy, either." Solon added, "Everything's back to normal. You all made it."

"What exactly happened?" Katrina asked them. "We weren't able to make contact with any of you after entering the portal."

"That's...kinda of a long story, even if I try shortening it." Sora said before taking a deep breath. "But here goes..."


One Explanation Later... 

"And that's pretty much the gist of it." The Red Ranger finished the story, about what they were up to in the other world.

To say that Katrina, Alpha, and Solon were shocked would be an understatement.

"My, that's quite the experience you've all had." The latter said, dumbfounded by what she heard.

"And to think, Alsatia played a role in all of this." Katrina groaned and rubbed her forehead in irritation.

"And to revive a past enemy inside another universe..." Alpha added in. "That has to be Scrozzle's doing."

"Yeah pretty much sums up our whole story," Cyrus said with a shrug.

"Hell of a first dimensional mission for us." Kiba added in like it wasn't a big deal.

"Agreed." Ayumi said while fixing her hair. "To think all this happened in just a few days..."

The HQ trio looked at each other in confusion, something that the team picked up on.

"What is it?" Sora asked them.

"Actually..." Solon began. "You were only gone for 3 hours."

The Rangers looked shocked by the info as their minds processed this. "Wait what!?" Reina spoke in disbelief.

Kiba shook his head. "No, no! that can't be! We were there for 3 days." he said in confusion.

Sora rubbed a hand through his hair. "How is that even possible?"

"Perhaps, time flows differently in this dimension than it does in the one you went to." Katrina replied, rubbing a finger under her chin.

Cyrus hummed in thought. "I see. So, the flow of time in our universe is considerably slower than on Earth Land, with three hours here equaling three days there."

"Exactly."

"Still, sounds like you all had quite the adventure," Solon said with a smile. "Not even 'Pros' yet, but you're still accomplishing so much in only a short amount of time." She said with a proud smile.

"Thank you for such kind words, Solon." Ayumi said with a bow.

"You've gone up against all kinds of odds that, honestly, didn't seem in your favor." Alpha said before smiling and giving them a thumbs up. "But you've pulled through with your own strength and dignity. So, excellent work, Power Rangers." He was happy for their success in the other world.

"They're right." Katrina added, from beside Solon. "You should be really proud of yourselves.  You saved a lot of lives there."

The Rangers looked at one another and smiled, pleased by what they accomplished today. (In terms of their universe's time flow.)

"Okay, so what are we going do now?" Kiba asked everyone.

"Well, as far as training goes, I believe you're all set for the festival." Katrina said before moving over to the team. "But we can talk more about that later. As for right now, I think you kids deserve a good night's rest after the day you had." She gave them a smile.

"Oh please, yes," Ayumi agreed without question, no longer trying to keep from sounding as tired as she felt.

"Absolutely," Sora nodded along with a yawn.

"Heh! I feel like I'm going to fall into a coma the minute I lay down on anything that could be considered a bed after all of this," Kiba confessed.

"We should get going too or else our families will start worrying," Cyrus said with the others nodding and began heading out of the room.

"Yeah, knowing my sister, she might go a bit overboard," Reina said with little annoyance, as she knew her sister could be embarrassing at times.

Once they were gone, it was only the the HQ trio left in the room as they began to converse with one another.

"Well, this certainly changes things..." Solon said, grimly. "Because of Scrozzle, Alsatia was able to revive a past enemy within another universe..."

 Which means...there's a possibility that they'll try again, but with someone worse than Morticon!" Alpha finished in distress."Aye-yi-yi-yi-yi!"

Katrina narrowed her eyes with a hum. "That's true, but what worries me most is Alsatia, somehow, being able to send past enemies to other universes." She looked up at the ceiling. "If she is able to do that, then how did she accomplish this?"

 

 

Notes:

FINALLY! The Dimesional Travel Arc is finally completed. Man, this was a ride to write. But no worries, I'll be doing things like this from time to time, as the Hero Force Rangers are sent to other worlds to save a person or stop a threat and help the world or characters there.

 

So you guys can tell me what world you want me to send the Rangers to save and the threats they have to stop. It can be a movie, anime, cartoon, and manga. Just say the world and explain the threat to me, and I'll think about it.

So now...we finally head back into the MHA storyline and right into the Sports Festival. Hope you're all looking forward to that!

Please be sure to favorite and follow if you like the story, and also review it. If you have any questions or discussions you'd have for me, then please in a review or a PM my profile.

Thank you for reading, may God bless you, and have a wonderful day.

Chapter 55: List of Special Ranger Powers

Notes:

Hey, guys! Quick update for the Rangers. I probably should've showcased this before, but I wanted to wait for the Sports Festival and beyond to do it. So, since the Hero Force Rangers now have the ability to use ever Ranger team, their Zords, and weapons...they will also be able to use the special abilities of the past Rangers as well. (morphed and unmorphed)

Notes:

And that's all the powers that the Hero Force Rangers will be able to use throughout the story. Might seem OP, but considering they'll be facing superhumans with Quirks, intergalatic aliens and an army of past Ranger villains...I'd say this is a pretty fair advantage.

Anyways, let me know what you guys think as we now head into the Sports Festival!

Look forward to it!

Two weeks have passed since the Ranger's dimesinonal mission and before everyone knew it, the day had finally arrived.

The Sports Festival was one of the best events of the year for the city, and everyone was heading to U.A. to see the action. As fireworks went off around the building, many newscasters were standing at the front of the gate wanting to get in. However, security was much higher this time around due to the League of Villains' attack. Some are even criticizing U.A. for holding the festival because of it. But controversy is what the media feeds off of for higher ratings. Not like they'd need it, considering that the nation's watching Class 1-A.

On the other side of the gate, there were food stands and small souvenir shops selling merchandise. There was a lot of discussion going around the people at the little fare. Some were looking forward to seeing the third years since they've got the most experience with their Quirks. However, it was all about the first-year students this year. Especially with talks going around about whether or not the No. 2 Hero Endeavor's son was going to be in the games, but everyone was interested in the fact that the Rangers were participating as well, considering they had taken down a giant horseman weeks ago.

Helping out with security for the tournament were Heroes that were called in from all over the country. Some were hoping to do some scouting of their own, but were having to sit back and make sure no villains attacked.

Finally, there was the stadium where the Sports Festival was taking place. The stadium itself was an oval-shaped, open building that featured a stand with three floors and several screens for the festival. The arena of the stadium itself consisted of a circular space with a flat square of concrete in the center, surrounded by grass. It also had many gates that lead in and out of the field. The stadium also features a branch nurse's office, as well as waiting rooms for the participants.

And in one of those waiting rooms was Class 1-A.


"Ahh, is anyone else getting super nervous?" Ayumi inquired as she and the other Rangers chatted amongst themselves, wearing their gym clothes. Though Cyrus wasn't among them.

"I know what you mean." Kiba said with laugh, stretching his arms to get ready. "This is a pretty huge event after all."

"Don't tell me you guys are getting cold feet." Reina snorted as she leaned on her hip, raising an eyebrow at the pair. "Especially after everything we've seen and done til now."

"She's right." Sora chimed in reassuringly. "Besides, we've worked our butts off these past two weeks. Now is the time to put that all to the test." He finished by raising up his Morpher-clad arm.

Kiba smirked at that. "Well said, Cap."

Ayumi smiled at this, the nervousness had finally eased away. "Yeah, you're right." She then looked over at Reina. "By the way, Rei. Is your sister coming to watch the Festival?"

The greenette groaned lowly at the mention of her sister. "She wanted to come, but I insisted that she should watch it from her school, mostly because I didn't want her to do something embarrassing today."

The Pink Ranger blinked at this. "Oh, okay. Well, what about Cyrus? Did he say anything about his sister?"

"Hey, guys!"

Toru suddenly appeared in front of the Rangers with an eager body vibe. "I was wondering if you were gonna use your suits today?" She asked, getting everyone's attention.

The Rangers shared looks with each other before responding. "Well..." Kiba began, only to be cut off.

"Hey, that's not fair!" Mineta glowered, pointing at the group. "How come you guys get to use your gear while the rest of us are stuck with just our gym clothes?!"

"Uh, isn't Aoyama wearing his belt?" Sero pointed out, looking at the French student. "How is that any different?"

"True," Aoyama agreed.

"Well...yeah...but they get to use tools!" The small pervert argued. "Even Bakugo doesn't have his gauntlets!"

Bakugo snorted. "Like I need them to win this."

"Normally that would be the case, but it's alright." Ayumi reassured them. "We were able to sign the proper papers beforehand. And Nezu gave me a condition if we make it into through the festival." 

"Basically, we're going through most of it like this." Sora informed, gesturing to their gym clothes.

"Anything you wanna add, you little shit?" Reina glowered at the small boy, who backed away in fear.

"N-No, ma'am."

"At least, you got to have your equipment!" Mina complained. "I tried to get permission to wear my costume, but they said it wasn't allowed." 

"At least everyone will be in uniforms." Ojiro said as he stretched his arms. "That way it'll keep things fair."

"By the way, where's Hado?" Tsuyu asked, not seeing the Blue Ranger anywhere in the room.

"I believe he was called up to be notified about the festival's starting time." Momo replied to her.

"Oh, that makes sense." Ochaco hummed.

"I wonder what will be in store for us in the first round." Sato said as he fidgeted with his hands on the table. His nervousness clearly showing.

"Maybe a Multi-Man Melee?" Kiba suggested in glee. "Oh, something like Squid Game!"

"Why would it be either of those things?" Reina asked, putting on some fingerless gloves.

"Never know."

"No matter what they've prepared, we must persevere." Tokoyami said in a calm tone with crossed arms. Shoji, who was standing behind him, nodded in agreement.

The door swung open and Cyrus came in. "Guys, I just recieved word! We're entering the arena soon!"

Izuku takes a few deep breaths to calm his anxiety. He sighs. Sora walked over to him. "You okay, man?"

"Yeah...just preparing myself," Izuku said, placing a hand on his chest.

"Midoriya."

The duo turned around to the person and saw that it was oddly Todoroki, who walked up with a serious gaze. 

"Todoroki." Sora greeted. 

"Is there...something you need?" Izuku asked, feeling uneasy by the look. 

Silence fell as everyone in the room looked over as all eyes fell on them.

"...From where I stand, I am much stronger than you, Midoriya." Todoroki said. Izuku gasped at his blunt comment, as did Sora. As blunt as it was, Izuku couldn't help but agree. He's still working on his control over One for All, not even close to the power of All Might. So, what Todoroki said bared some truth. 

"That's bold of you to say." The Red Ranger scoffed, frowning slightly at the heterochromia teen.

Todoroki continued on. "...However, you have All Might at your corner, it seems." Izuku gasps again. How did he...? "I won't pry. It's none of my concern. But I'm going to beat you, Midoriya. Don't forget that."

"What?" The broccoli-haired boy gasped.

Sora's shocked expression turned to a scowl.

"Whoa now, what's with all of these declarations of war lately?" Denki asked with intrigue.

Ayumi stared at Todoroki in shock. "Are you seriously making declarations, Todoroki?" The boy shifts his gaze to her. "Look, I get it. There could be only one winner in this, but is there any reason to declare war on each other, like that Shinso guy from before?" Todoroki didn't respond to Ayumi's words, keeping his gaze on her. At this point everyone had turned their attention to the Pink Ranger. "We're Class 1-A. We're a team!" Bakugo narrowed his eyes on her. "Remember the USJ Incident and the Rescue exercise? We shouldn't be fighting like this!"

"Ayumi..." Cyrus muttered from the door.

"Suzuni's right, Todoroki!" Kirishima said, putting his hand on Todoroki's shoulder. "Why are you picking a fight all of a sudden? We're just about to start!"

"We're not here to play at being friends." Shoto said, prying the boy's hand away from his shoulder, "So what does it matter?"

Todoroki's cold words froze Ayumi as his words hit hard.

He then turned his attention to each of the Rangers and narrowed his eyes. "And you five are the biggest obstacles here."

"The hell do you mean by that, Frosty?" Reina growled, glaring back at the boy as she was being held back by Kiba.

"Happy place, Rei. Happy place!"

"You're all rather close to the Principal." Todoroki said, getting several eyebrows raised. "Seems though he's taken a liking to all, considering what everything you've done."

"Where exactly are you going with this?" Cyrus questioned a loud.

"Simple. I'm vowing to beat the Power Rangers out of everyone." Todoroki stated frimly.

The Rangers looked surprised. Even the others gaped at this declaration.

Saying his peace, Todoroki turned around and walked towards the door. 

"Wait, Todoroki," Izuku said. To his surprise, Todoroki did. "...I don't know what's going through your head right now, for making you say what you've said. You are better than me...better than most people, probably."

"Izuku..." Ayumi uttered worriedly.

"Thanks for the vote of confidence, Midoriya," Kiba commented sarcastically. Cyrus lightly elbows him.

"Sora might've lessened the targets on our backs before, but everyone...not just the hero course students, but every class...Support, business, and general courses...they're gonna give their all to be on top! Neither of us... Can't afford to fall behind!" Izuku looked to Shoto with determination, "I'll be going for it with all I got!"

Hearing that and seeing his determination return made Sora smile before he stepped forward.

"Since everyone is making their declaration then...I'll echo one to you, Todoroki," He spoke, getting everyone's attention as they could see a fierce look upon the Red Ranger's face as he stared down Shoto. "I've NEVER accepted a challenge I couldn't take on. And I'm sure as hell am not starting today." he vowed with clenched fists. Everyone was left surprised, but the Rangers all had knowing smiles on their faces as they stood with their friend and team leader. "You want to declare war, fine. But you better prove it through your actions, not your words!"

The Half-Cold, Half-Hot Quirk user narrowed his eyes in reponse. "Fine," he responded simply. 

Thus the whole class was silent, all of them remained completely unaware at the look Katsuki was giving. 


[Sports Festival Stadium: The Stands]

Nejire bounced in her seat with poorly contained excitement. "I can't believe that this is happening! It won't be long, and we'll get to see my twinsie and the Power Rangers out there!"

"I know, right?" Mirio smiled. Tamaki sat next to him, playing with a pair of magnetic worry stones. "It felt like it was only yesterday that we fought alongside them."

"And now, we get to cheer for them!" Nejire shouted. "Let's practice cheering! Go, go, Power Rangers! Go, go, Power Rangers!"


(Start at 0:50)

The screens of the stadium turned on and Present Mic appeared on the jumbotron. "HEYYYYYY! Make some noise, all you rabid sports fans! Get those cameras prepped, media hordes! This year, we're bringing you some of the hottest performances in U.A.'s festival history, guaranteed! I've only got one question before we start this show: ARE YOU READY?!" He yelled as the crowd cheered. Sitting next to him was Aizawa, who was still covered in bandages as he still wasn't healed. "Let me hear ya scream as our students make their way to the main stage!"

The commercials for the event were over and they were back on the air. "IT'S THE U.A.'S SPORTS FESTIVAL! The one time each year when out fledging Heroes compete in a ruthless grand battle! First up, you know who I'm talking about! The miraculous rising stars who brushed off a villain attack with their steely willpower! The first-years of the Hero Course! IT'S CLASS 1-A!"

At that moment, the Rangers and the rest of their classmates came out of the tunnel. The crowd erupted in thunderous cheers and applause.

Sora looked around at the crowd and couldn't help but feel a little in awe. "Man, this place is packed."

"I know this thing was a big event, but this crazy." Cyrus added a wry smile. 

"I hope we're still able to give our best performances, even though all these eyes are watching us." Iida said as he looked around the audience of the games. "I suppose it's just another aspect of being a Hero we all have to learn to get used to."

"N-No kidding...t-there is so many people," Izuku said nervously.

"You have nothing to fear, little fella," Kiba stated with a reassuring tone.

"For sure, Izuku," Ayumi added, placing a hand on his shoulder, "You're gonna do great! Tell him, Rei!

"Do like I said with her," Reina said, nodding at Ayumi as she spoke, "Stop whining and woman up. 

"Present Mic sure did talk us up a lot." Kirishima said as walked behind Bakugo. The blonde was silent with his eyes shadowed over by his hair. "Kinda makes me nervous. How you feelin', man?"

Bakugo lifted his head up, revealing his face had formed a deranged grin. "I'm not worried. Makes me wanna win this thing even more."

"What about you Sora?" Shoji asked, noticing that Sora was just fine, looking at the crowd and smiling. "I guess you're used to this."

"Kinda." Sora confirmed. "I've been around big crowds before, so this is normal for me."

"Was their attention on you?" Toru asked.

"Sometimes." Sora answered. "But nothing this crazy. Kinda feels refreshing, after everything that's happened.

As he looked around, the Rangers then noticed that the other classes were starting to come out. "They haven't been getting nearly as much screentime, but this next group is still chock full of talent! Welcome, Hero Course Class 1-B!" Present Mic announced as Class 1-B entered the arena through their tunnel. All of the other freshmen classes come out through the other tunnels. Although as they were announced, they didn't get the same reaction for the crowd as the Hero Course classes. "Next up, General Studies Classes C, D, and E! Support Course Classes F, G, and H are here, too! And Business Course, Classes I, J, and K! ALL OF U.A.'S FIRST YEARS ARE HERE NOW!"

(Music Ends)

The classes gathered in the middle of the stage. While the General Studies students weren't too excited about being in the games-many believing that they're only there to make the Heroes-in-training look good-everyone else was anticipating for the games to start.

"You know I always wondered why the acceptance rate got increased," Ayumi said.

"Maybe someone at the school felt that there were students who had great potential," Reina surmised. She noticed something in the stands. "Hey, Cy. Look over there."

"Huh?" the blue Rangers looked to where Reina was pointing. The first thing he noticed was the high stands...then, he heard cheering and saw perwinkle hair.

"Go, go, Power Rangers! Go, go, Power Rangers!"

"Nejire..." Cyrus muttered, a smile forming on his lips.

The other Rangers also saw the older Hado, Mirio, and Tamaki waving the flags, cheering for them.

"Hey, it's those Big 3 guys!" Kiba called out.

"Looks like they came to watch." Sora laughed.

"That's so sweet! We have our own cheerleading squad!" Ayumi exclaimed.

Cyrus could hear her sister saying, "That's my twinsie and he's gonna kick butt!"

The blue Ranger sweatdrops. "It's actually a little embarrassing..." he said sheepishly.

"Were those friends of yours?" Ochaco asked.

Cyrus nodded. "Yeah. my sister and her friends."

"Wait really!? You have a sister!?" 

"Yup."

"I see...it's a strengthening feeling to know that your sibling has your back," Tenya said, smiling. "It's a feeling like no other!"

"That's right. You have an older brother!" Ochako recalled.

Tenya nods. "That's right, Uraraka. He was thrilled for me and couldn't wait for me to compete."

"Oh, yeah! Ingenium, right?" Ayumi asked. "You think he's watching this?"

"Undoubtedly. Provided that he's not busy at the moment," Tenya said. "I'm a little late with my own declaration, but I plan to give this my all as well and make my brother proud!"

"I'm sure he is, Iida," Tsuyu said. "Take it from an older sibling."

"Wow, you guys are so lucky," Ochako said. "I wish I had siblings..."

"Yeah," Ayumi nodded.

The cracking of a whip got everyone's attention. "Now, for the entirety of the speech!" Said the umpire of this year's Sports Festival for the Freshmen, the R-Rated Hero: Midnight.

Almost all of the men in the stadium's seats blushed instantly as Midnight flicked her hair with a smile. 

"Uh, someone should talk to Ms. Midnight about what she's wearing." Sora said with an embarrassed blush, much to Ayumi's irration.

"Yeah, that costume should come with a warning." Kiba replied, trying to prevent a nosebleed.

"Is that really appropriate attire for a High School teacher?" Tokoyami asked, not flustered by the outfit.

"YES!" Mineta exclaimed with a thumbs up.

"You don't get a say!" Reina snapped at the boy.

"Believe it or not, but it's remarkably tame compared to when Midnight was in high school," Izuku revealed. "It was because of her that a law was passed limiting how much skin can be exposed not long after her debut."

"I don't even wanna know what that could mean," Cyrus voiced.

"SILENCE, EVERYONE!" Midnight shouted, swiping her whip to effectively get them all to look at her. It is my privilege to invite the student that took 1st place during the Entrance Exam and decimated the record that was set by All Might himself!" She purposely paused to build up the tension in the crowd. "Sora Ukashi, please come up to the stage please!"

"Huh? Me?" Pointing at himself, blinking owlishly in confusion. None the less, the red Ranger tracked to the stage to make an oath. Hearing his friends chatters of utter surprise.

"What? It's Ukashi?!" Several students blinked, shocked by Sora being the student representative.

"Our saving grace!" Denki cried happily in hope, hope that the boy will calm the raging demons wrath like before

"Must be because he placed dead first in the entrance exam." Sero muttered, remembering Sora's score. Not even Bakugo's score couldn't even hope to come close to his! 

A general course student made a scoff. "Yeah, for the hero course," she said, her voice laced with venom.

"She clearly hates us," Kaminari observed.

Sora stepped up onto the steps and noticed a single microphone standing before him.

"You got this." Midnight whispered. She gave him a wink and a thumbs up.

Sora couldn't help but smile. He stepped up the microphone and looked out to see everyone looking at him. 'Okay, I don't think I've ever made a speech like this before, but here goes.' He dug down deep and took a deep breath before he started his speech

"Thank you, Miss Midnight. I want to start out by asking every pro, and future hero a question. What if tomorrow All Might announced his retirement?" Sora paused to let the crowd talk amongst itself.

"I know this is a daunting question, but it is one that we must be ready to answer. All Might is not a God; he is human, just like you and me. And one day, he will either retire, or God forbid, die." He could already hear some muttering from his comments. "All Might has been the Symbol of Peace and a hero for 3 decades and helped lower the crime rate in Japan. Like all of you, I also admired him since I was very young. But he has made one mistake in his exceptionally long and successful career: he has stood against the darkness in Japan, alone." 

Sora listened as the stadium started to go silent again. "He had put the weight of our safety for all of Japan on his shoulders alone for decades and has shouldered the burden of being the lone Pillar of Justice in the country that everyone looks up to." He took another deep breath before continuing. "But one pillar, no matter how strong, cannot be the foundation for our great country, a safe country from those that wish to destroy it." Sora paused for a moment. "A wise man once said that a single twig can be broken, but a bundle of twigs is unbreakable. We shall stand together and add our support to All Might's and add our Pillars of Hope and Justice to All Might's, to make this country stronger." 

Sora looked around the stadium before he continued. "I know many of you in the stands despise me from what you have heard about me and the other Rangers from the news; that we're some Quirkless brats who got lucky with Support Items, but no. We trained and fought just as hard as any other student for the right to stand here today in front of all of you on this stage." Sora looked down and smiled at his friends and classmates as they cheered him on. "With this generation of Heroes working together, the possibilities are endless."

"But I have also seen the worst of what this world can offer as well and my goal is to make the world a brighter place for future generations to come. So, to cut a long-winded speech short, this is my pledge: that as you watch us today; Hero Course students, show them what the next generation of Heroes can do! Support Course students, show everyone what your amazing gear can do in the battle against the forces of evil! General and Business students, show them that just because you are not in the Hero Course you are still a force to be reckoned with and maybe earn a spot with the Hero Course students! Rangers, let's show the world that you don't need a Quirk for everything and that we were chosen as Power Rangers for a reason! Let us show the world why they should have no fear, for we are all here! We are the future of heroics. We will show the villains there is no shadow to hide behind that the Light of Justice won't find them. The weak and innocent shall smile and know that when they see us, they will know they are safe from evil. And our comrades will know that all of us will fight with everything we have, because of our motto here at U.A.!! Go beyond!!" Sora yelled at the top of his lungs. 

"Plus Ultra!!!" The entire stadium replied so loud that it shook the stadium before applause and cheering drowned out everything.

"Our saving grace has done it again!!" Denki comically cried in glee for the Red Ranger.

"Ukashi is so cool!!" Yellow stars appeared around Hagakure's eyes in amazement.

"Ukashi! That speech was amazing!" Ochaco cheered for the Red Ranger with a pumped-up fist

"Wow, that animosity of tension suddenly disappeared..." Sero awed at this, not everyone was hyped for this competitive event.

"That's Sora for you." Cyrus smiled.

"Way to go, bro" Kiba declared, running up to Sora as they left the stage, doing a 'bump and explode' fist bump with both of them.

"That was the best speech I've ever heard!" Sato said.

"Way to bring the fire there man!" Kirishima complimented him with a slap to the back.

"Hehe, thanks guys..." Sora laughed, accepting the compliments. 

"You really have a way with words, don't ya?" Tsuyu croaked.

"They loved you, that was amazing!" Ayumi exclaimed, practically humming with energy as she held onto Sora's arm.

Izuku smiled as he said, "You were awesome up there, Sora!" 

"Eh, it was alright, I guess," Reina said with a shrug, before giving Sora a small smile as she bumped her fist to his chest

"Alright everyone! Now that we're all positively aroused by that speech!" Midnight spoke up again, getting everyones attention as they all looked to her. Some took not of the word Midnight emphasized and blushed brightly and chose to just forget about it. The screens set up at the top of the stadium changed to say 'First Game' which showed that the Festival was really getting underway. "Its finally time to get these games started! This is where you all truly begin feeling the pain! The first fateful game of the festival!"

A holographic screen then appeared right behind Midnight that had a roulette on it going at high speeds. "What could it be?" Midnight said as the roulette kept going, and going, and going...until it finally stopped.

OBSTACLE RACE

"An obstacle race?" Izuku said intrigued.

Cyrus had added, "Huh. Interesting."

"Guess we'll have to see what happens..." Ayumi realized, taking a deep breath to calm herself.

"Oh, this oughta' be fun!" Reina exclaimed as she clenched her fists tightly.

"All 11 classes will participate in this treacherous contest." Midnight began explaining the rules and details of this event with the screen behind her showing a visual example of it. "The track is four kilometers around the outside of the stadium. I don't wanna restrain anyone, at least in this game." Midnight licked her lips as she gave the students a rather...fierce look. "As long as you don't leave the course, you're free to do whatever your heart desires." The R-Rated Hero then pointed her flogger-style whip at a red gate. "Now then, take your places, contestants!"

"I should be excited but why am I scared for some reason?" Kiba said as he squeak.

"What's the matter, Kib?" Sora said as he teased him. "Not your type of woman?"

Kiba immediately turned red as he went to wipe up the nosebleed, "Shut up!"

"Now everyone!" Nemuri said pointing to the starting line with her flogger, "Take your places!"

The students soon crowded over at the red gate that shined a couple of green lights. All the students quickly went over in front of the gate as three green lights lit up at the top of it. Everyone got their game faces on and was ready to rush out that gate once it opened.The Rangers all exchanged glances with each other as they prepared themselves.

Beep!

One of the green lights went off.

Beep!

Another light went off.

'Time to make history.' Sora thought with with a steady breath.

Beep!

The third and final light went off.

"BEGIN!"

To Be Continued...

(Sports Festival Stadium)

"BEGIN!"

All of the students simultaneously charged towards the tunnel. Wanting to get in the lead.

{"And we're off to a racing start!"}  Present Mic announced and turned to Aizawa. {"How 'bout some color commentary, Mummy Man?"}

Aizawa turned his head to him and groaned. "How did you talk me into this?" He lazily asked.

{"What should we be paying attention to in the early stages of the race?"}

"The doorway."

And he wasn't wrong. When the students got into the narrow hallway, everyone started to push and shove each other, trying to get through. It was only a miracle that when there was enough space for anyone to move.

"UGH! HEY MOVE YOUR ELBOW!"

"I CAN'T BREATHE!

"WHO THE HELL TOUCHED MY ASS?!"

"MINETA, STOP TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE SITUATION!"

"So this is the first obstacle, huh?" Suddenly, before anyone knew what hit them, a cold blast of ice came out of the gate and froze some of the stadium as well as the path forward. This student being of course Shoto Todoroki as he gained the lead as he made a path of ice ahead of him to help him gain speed.

"Apologizes, but I don't to-what?" Suddenly, speeding past Todoroki was blurs of red, green, blue, yellow, and pink? "What a minute..." Todoroki narrowed his eyes at the blurs and-

"Nice try, Todoroki!" Sora snorted.

"AHAHAHAHA! EAT MY DUST, SUCKERS!" Reina cackled with smirk. 

"That was a close one!" Cyrus pointed out. "Let's keep this up and reach for the goal!" 

"SEE YOU AT THE WINNER'S CIRCLE!" Kiba exclaimed.

"No hard feelings!" Ayumi smiled as she waved at the other students.

"OH NO YOU DON'T!" The loud and obnoxious voice was followed by explosions as Bakugo, with his eyes full of rage as per usual, was using his Explosion Quirk to launched himself forward. "I'M NOT LETTING THE SPANDEX BASTARDS WIN THIS!"

Todoroki clicked his tongue as he quickly ran ahead to try to get past the Rangers.

While a majority of the UA students had their feet stuck in ice, the hero students, along with some of the support students, were finding ways to truly get into the race. Aoyama using his laser to launch himself, Momo creating a pole vault and Kirishima launching himself into the air like a super jump.

Before the Rangers could advance any further, the ground rumbled, which forced the team to halt when large, familiar robots of 2-Pointers and 3-Pointer stood in their way. But even worse was that behind the smaller robots were a horde of massive 0-Pointer robots.

"Target acquired." The 1-Pointer said. "Terminate them."

"It's the 0-pointers from the Entrance Exam!" Ayumi exclaimed.

"You gotta be kidding me!" Kiba shouted.

Reina smirked, "All the more interesting!"

{Here comes the next obstacle, folks! The Robo Inferno!}

{Calm down, will you?}

When Kaminari came to the front of the crowd, he stopped and looked at the robots in horror. "Are those the 0-Point villains from the practical test?!"

The General Studies students gasped at the sheer size of the robots. Was this what the teachers meant by obstacles? There was no hope for them to get through.

"So this is what the other students faced in the Entrance Exams." Todoroki said.

"Where's the school even getting the funding for these things?" Momo asked. Just like Todoroki, she got into U.A. on recommendation and didn't get to see the robots.

"What do we do, Sora?" Cyrus asked, glancing at the team leader.

Sora merely smirked in response, as he clenched; one of the robots reached for him. "We've beaten these things before..." He started to say, "... We'll do it again! Reina!"

The greenette smirked at this. "Let's do this."

Their bodies were then surrounded in red and purple energy, respectfully while doing hand movements. "Call to the beast inside. Free the Tiger/Wolf!" They thrust their hands forward, projecting giant images of a red Tiger Spirit and a purple Wolf Spirit, which caught everyone by surprise as the giant spirits pounced onto the 0-pointers and started attacking them, moving thm away from the students. 

"No way!" Jiro freaked out at the animals.

"D-Did that a giant tiger and wolf?!" Mina asked with her eyes widened again.

"Yeah, they are." Sero said in a stunned state.

"Since  when could they do that!?" Mineta exclaimed in fright.

The Tiger and Wolf Spirits delivered one last final swing with their claws, destroying two of the 0-pointers as they erupted in an explosion, with the Jungle Spirits fading away back into their owners.

That was when the other Rangers made their move as they bolted forward into the fray.

"Time for little magic!" Ayumi smiled, then spun herself around while using her magic to transform her entire body into a huge pink tornado that circled around several faux villains like a raging typhoon. "Mystic Magic, Tornado Power!"

The winds were powerful enough to lift all the robots off the ground, tumbling as they were hurled around and tossed away like ragdolls. 

This power belonged to Vida Rocca, the Pink Mystic Ranger. She has the power to use Wind Magic.

 Cyrus gasped as several faux villains jumped forward as they dove towards him. But the Blue Ranger waved his right arm around, creating a blue-tinted shield, which the bots hit and bounced off, making them flying away.

This power belonged to Sky Tate, the Blue SPD Ranger. 

"I'll take some of that action!" Kiba joked, making a few hand-sign gestures like a ninja. "Hidden Style: Cloning Jutsu!" He shouted with his body splitting into five different ideal copies of himself, which surprised everyone watching.

"W-W-What?!" All the students shouted together in surprise to see Kiba and his clones.

"We saw this one on television!" Kibas all spoke as one before opening their mouths to let out an ear-pounding scream. "WALL OF KYAAAAAA!" They hit several faux villains with a unison of terrifyingly loud shrieks that sent the robots flying, as the Rangers behind him covered their ears from the loud screaming.

"A Ptera Scream?" Cyrus asked while recovering from Kiba's sonic attack. 

"Seriously, dumbass? You could have warned us!" Reina said, giving her teammate a slightly nasty look with the others removing their hands from their ears

"Sorry, I forgot how loud it could be," Kiba said with a sheepish look as his clones disappeared.

The crowd awed and cheered even louder at the Rangers unbelievable show of power to pass through. Even though the crowd cheered for them, most the students behind them paled at what they're up against now.

"They just demolished those things!" 

"Tha...that's who we're up against..."

"That's...insane...!!"

Izuku looked beyond shocked by what he had witnessed. 'Whoa, they had abilities like that?!'

"Let's move!" Sora called as he ran on ahead, with the other Rangers following right after.

{"1-A'S SORA UKASHI, REINA FUKAKADO, CYRUS HADO, KIBA MASON, AND AYUMI SUZUNII!! BUSTING THROUGH THE ROBO INFERNO IN A SERIES OF MOVES!! SINCE WHEN COULD THEY DO THAT!! NO MOUNTAINS OR ROBOTS GOING TO STOP THIS TEAM!!"}


"Like, seriously. How did in the heck did they do that?" Present Mic asked Aizawa lowly. "I don't recall them ever having abilites like those."

 Aizawa sat silently as he watched what was about to unfold.


Todoroki narrowed his eyes in frustration at the Rangers's abilites, when he noticed more faux villains coming their way.

With a swing of his arm, he unleashed a massive wave of ice at an oncoming Zero Pointer, freezing it in place before it could reach him.

{And an incredible move by Shoto Todoroki!}

His attack had also frozen the other robots too, leaving an opening to run through. Just as he ran, he called out to the other students, "Be careful if you try to run through! I froze them while they were off balance." Just as he was in the clear, the robot behind him collapsed. "On purpose!"

{Shoto Todoroki now moves ahead with an impressive offense and defense combo!}

"H-Hey, there're kids pinned under there!!"

"They've gotta be dead! I didn't know we could be killed during this thing!" Many panicked when Shoto's icy attack made the robotic goliath fall forward to cut off their path.

Under the mountains of metal, something was banging under it. Until finally smashing through, it was Kirishima. His body hardened, shielding him from the impact. "I'M ALIVE!"

{"1-A'S KIRISHIMA WAS CRUSHED!!"}

Clicking his tongue angrily at the split colored teen, "That bastard, Todoroki. Timing their fall like that! I'd be dead if I wasn't me!"

"Class A's full of jerks, huh!" Another voice could be heard under the rubble, finally smashing through near Kirishima. His skin having a metallic gray. "I'd be dead if I wasn't me!"

"The dude from class B!" Amazed that another person was caught in the mess.

{"CLASS BE'S TETSUTETSU WAS ALSO FLATTENED! OUCH!!"}

"You copy-cat!!" Crying out as he dashed off to continue his race. At that shout, the other teen jumped in surprise at the exclamation.

Huffing, agitated that both Todoroki and the Rangers quickly passed through the Inferno bots. Quickly, Katsuki propelled himself up and over the giant goliath. Smirking wildly at his quick-witted success. {"DOWN LOW DIDN'T WORK FOR 1-A'S BAKUGO, SO HE TOOK THE HIGH ROAD!! CLEVER!"}

"With your personality, I was sure you'd bust your way through." Realizing he was being followed by both Sero and Tokoyami, the two using their Quirks consisting tape or Dark Shadow.

"But you avoided a fight!"

"Allow me to follow in your wake." Both following the blonde's lead.

{"THE CURRENT LEADERS OF THE PACK ARE OVERWHELMINGLY FROM CLASS A!!"} And they were right. All of the kids from class A have grown and matured ever since the villain attack. Not hesitating to fight in the race, gaining a bravado to continue. Just what they needed to charge in and show the world, the world of heroes what they could do.

Eventually, the Rangers ran through the first course without a hitch, and now they were standing before the endless void of the pit of the new obstacle. 

{"If you thought the first barrier was easy, then take a look at the second! "} Present Mic said to the students and audience. {"If you fall you're out! If you don't wanna fall, then crawl! It's-- THE FALL!} "

Sora peered down into the chasm, a few rocks crumbled underneath his feet as he took a step back. "That is pretty deep." He whistled.

"Well it certainly lives up to its name." Reina said aloud.

"When did they even have time to build this!?" Ayumi wondered, trying to see the bottom to no avail.

"Probably when we were training for the past two weeks." Cyrus guessed as he also stared down at the dark void below.

Kiba smirked in glee. "Yeah, but it's nothing that we can't handle. Right?"

"Then we better get movin!" Sora spoke up, holding his hands like a ninja, then jumped up, and began running through the air across the chasm, holding his right fist out.

"Hey, wait up!" Kiba shouted as he and Cyrus harnessed the powers of the Jackrabbit Beast DNA and Overdrive's Super-Agility in their bodies, before taking massive leaps high into the air to land on a platform and began to repeat the method.

Reina nudged her female best friend. "Come on, Ayu! We can't let the boys show us up!"

"Right!" Ayumi nodded in return.

 Reina grinned before slamming her palm on the ground. "Mystic Magic, Vine Power!"

Vines came out of the ground from underneath the Black/Green Ranger, carrying her across the massive gorge.

 "Here goes!" Ayumi said, allowing the power of the White Dino Gem to flow through her before, a flash of light, she vanished completely.

With another sudden burst of light, she just reappeared on the surface of a platform with smile.

{"WHAT'S THIS!? THE POWER RANGERS ARE BUSTING OUT ABILITIES LEFT AND RIGHT TO CLEAR THE SECOND BARRIER! RUNNING ON AIR, SUPER JUMPING, RIDING TREE ROOTS, AND TELEPORTATION!?!? THIS IS WAY TOO EASY FOR THEM!?}


[Sports Festival Stadium: The Stands]

"Hey, hey, hey! Did you see that!?" Nejire gaped in a mix of shock, excitement, and curiosity.

"Holy cow! Look at 'em go!" Mirio exclaimed in surprise and excitement. "I never knew they could do things like that!"

"It has to be because they're Power Rangers!" Tamaki gaped with wide eyes. "I mean, how else would they be able to do all of that crazy stuff that they did?"


[Sports Festival Obstacle Race]

"Wow, they're awesome!" Mina gaped as the rest of the students finally arrived at the second obstacle and Ochaco was staring at the Rangers in awe.

"So cool!" The brunette's eyes were brimming with excitement as she watched the team breeze through the second obstacle without breaking a sweat. 

They soon heard someone giggle behind them, as it had been out of excitement. They turned to see a girl with pink locks and a pair of yellow eyes and having a pair of goggles; though what really took them back was the fact that she had on some sort of leg devices on her and another around her waist which looked to be rockets.

"Here it is!" She said. "Here's my chance to show off! It's time for my support items to be in the limelight! LOOK, ALL YOU SUPPORT COMPANIONS ACROSS THE COUNTRY! "

"You must be from the support course." Ochaco quickly concluded.

"Are you even allowed to bring that kind of stuff!?" Mina asked. "I know Kibi and his friends have their equipment, but what about you!?"

"Well the Hero Course undergoes combat training regularly, so in order to keep things fair, we are able to keep things fair, we are allowed to equip items from our costumes--Or perhaps I should say--" Suddenly, the device from her waist fired a grappling hook and attached itself to one of the rock formations. "--The support course does!"

She soon started to hover taking the two of them by surprise before she made her way across; she pulled herself up before they saw her on the side of the rock formation getting herself up; and she flew with a leap and they saw her further ahead than even the others.

"Wow..." Mina said speechless.

"There's no way I'm letting this stop me!" Ochaco soon said with a determined look on her face.

Soon, one by one, the Rangers each made it to the end of the final barrier where they regrouped before they continued onwards.

 Reina looked back and noticed Todoroki just making it to the end, sliding across the tightrope with his ice, and she also saw Katsuki just flying over it and catching up too.

["And now, the leader of the pack, Ukashi, is easily getting through first!" Present Mic announced. "Followed by the rest of the Rangers, with only Todoroki and Bakugo near them!"}

Seeing the group ahead, Tenya narrowed his eyes. "It's very likely my brother is also watching." Huffing, determined to catch up to the bunch, "I mustn't let him see me look foolish!!" Whiling skidding on the ropes very rigidly, trying to keep balance on the thick ropes.

{"BOY, DOES HE LOOK FOOLISH!!"}

The others were making headway as well.

Ochako floated her way across, enduring the motion sickness until she got to the end.

Mina tightrope walked and melted the rope behind her.

Mezo glided with his limbs across.

Yuga used his Naval laser like he did in the beginning.

Izuku was hanging and climbing to the other side, still holding onto the metal piece from earlier.

As the Rangers approached the last obstacle, they stopped at looked at it in confusion by how... seemingly normal it looked. Reina's eyes widened slightly before she suddenly skidded to a halt, reaching out to her friends. "Guys, wait! Stop!"

This caused the others to look back at her.

"What's wrong, Rei?" Ayumi asked, looking over at her friend.

"Huh?" Kiba blinked as he glanced back, though he didn't notice that he stepped on the landmine.

BOOM!

He let out a scream as he found himself flying and the others were taken back by this as they saw him crash down next to Reina.

Sora's eyes widened in realization. "Don't tell me..."

{"And now, we've finally come to the third and final barrier! "} Present Mic soon said over the PA. {"The reality here is... It's a minefield!"}

MINEFIELD!?" Ayumi and Cyrus shouted in unison while Reina looked shocked.

"Seriously!?" Kiba exclaimed, sitting up to reveal his face painted in light pink from the pink dust explosion. He coughed, puffing the pink smoke away from his mouth.

{"It's set up so that you can't tell where the mines are if you don't look carefully!"} Present Mic explained. {"So you have to exploit your arms and legs! By the way, these landmines are for the games, so they're not that powerful, but they're loud and flashy enough to make you wet your pants!"}

"Eh!?" Ayumi gawked, her eyes nearly buldging out of their sockets. "Isn't that too dangerous!?"

{"That depends on the person ."} They heard Aizawa add. 

"Oh, that makes sense." Reina simply muttered, glancing at Kiba as he stood up.

Cyrus hummed in ackowledgement. "I see. This is an obstacle that put those in leads at a disadvantage, huh?"

"Then, let's move carefully." Sora said, as he began to move forward.

"Wait!" Reina placed a hand on Sora's shoulder, making him stop before he could continue any further. "I think I have a better idea." She said as she stepped in front of him, took off her fingerless glove from her right hand, and waved her gloveless hand in front of her, producing a green aura.

This allowed her to see an image of the landmines that were scattered across the ground.

"Got 'em!" She nodded, glancing at her friends. "Come on!"

"Ahh, right!" Kiba perked up with a grin. "SPD Green's powers!"

With Reina as their guide, the Rangers soon proceeded to move into the field, stepping carefully through through to avoid the landmines.

It was at that moment where Todoroki arrived on the scene and saw what was happening. Openly surprised that the team ran in and had yet to be blown away by the landmines underneath them, clicking his tongue and following behind them. 'It seems they know where not to step, which means...!'

 He too rushed behind hhe Rangers, 'You're not getting ahead!!'

Ayumi was the first to notice him as she warned her team. "Guys, Todoroki's caught up!"

 "He better not try something funny that'll make those mines blow up under us!" Reina snarked.

 "Yeah, cause the last thing I want is to be blown up by a landmine, again," Kiba muttered sarcastically under his breath. 

BOOM!

"YOU FUCKERS GET BACK HERE!"

"Oh no." Cyrus let out as the Rangers and Todoroki all looked behind them and saw Bakugo, who was still launching himself with his quirk, quickly approaching them.

"Bastard!" Bakugo yelled as he looked right at Todoroki. "Your declaration of war was to the wrong people!"

{"Oh! And it looks like 1-A student Katsuki Bakugo is keen on taking the lead!"} Present Mic commented as he slammed his fist down on the desk. {"BUT THE REST ARE CATCHING UP!!"}

Seeing the rest finally entering the minefield quickly; already, many explosives were set off and many students flew up in midair. The two both boys focused on each other, now in combat for first.

"Guys, we're almost there!" Reina called out, moving faster to get through the field. "Let's go!"

"Right!" The others nodded as they did the same.

Suddenly, Sora's warning bells went off as he glanced back to see Bakugo blast an explosion in Todoroki's direction, forcing him to jump back to dodge the blast. Then, he use that chance to rush towards the Rangers.

"DON'T THINK YOU'RE GETTING AWAY, YOU SPANDEX EXTRAS!!!"

"Think again!" Sora snorted as he quickly spun around to peform a corkscrew kick to the ash-blonde's side with enough force that sent him hurling back with a furious roar, slamming into the ground and setting off a chain of explosions.

After that, Sora use the rest of this momentum to turn back around to join his friends.


Ukashi Residence

Within the Ukashi household, Serena sat on the sofa with a smile on her face as she watched her son on the big screen, "Attaboy!" She said, proudly.


Meanwhile, Izuku finally arrived on the scene and saw the conflict that lied before him. He had to do something to take the lead back. So he went ahead and dug up as many of the mines as he could.

"Thanks for the idea, Kacchan..." he noted with gratitude to his rival, holding the metal panel in his hands as if it were a waterboard.

"Super Explosion Turbo Speed!" he exclaimed, leaping onto the mines, resulting in a massive blast of pink smoke as he flew out aboard the metal panel he was upon. 

The blast caused him to fly high into the sky drawing the attention of everyone, even the Rangers, Shoto,  and Bakugo (who pulled himself up) looking back at it; everyone protected themselves from the shockwave created from the explosion.

{"A GIANT EXPLOSION FROM BEHIND?! WHAT CAUSED SUCH A BLAST?!"} Many flinched in surprise at the explosion behind them, few glancing up to see something flying over. {"AN ACCIDENT? OR WAS IT INTENTIONAL?"} Spectated the energetic blonde. {"AND CLASS 1-A'S MIDORIYA RIDES THE WAVE IN HOT PURSUIT OR SOMETHING!!"}

"No way...!" Cyrus uttered as he saw the boy flying overhead.

"Izuku!?" Ayumi gasped outloud.

"Whoa..." Sora said in amazement.

"Duuddee...!" Kiba exclaimed with his jaw open.

"What the..." Was all Reina could say.

Not long after, he soared directly passed them. 

{And has taken the lead!}

"GRRR! DEKU!" Bakugo shouted, blasting off into the air with his explosions. "DON'T GET AHEAD OF ME!!" He yelled.

"Ah screw it!" Sora let out before using his super speed to bliz through the mine field himself, with the others in tow. 

'This ice path will end up helping others...' Todoroki thought as he created a path of ice ahead of him so he can quickly run forward without having to worry about the mines. 'But I can't worry about them.'

With gravity doing its works, Izuku floated off the plate and held on tightly to the wire with all his might, as he started to slow down.

Seeing the duo approaching quickly, Sora looked over at Kiba with a smirk. "Kib, slow them down!"

The Yellow Ranger smirked in return. "Aye, aye, Captain!"

Holding his hands like a ninja, Kiba held one up, then slammed it onto the ground, creating steam that rose up from the ground, triggering more mines as they exploded.

Everyone had little time to react as the mines detonated, pushing Bakugo and Todoroki back while propelling the Rangers and the airborn Izuku forward on the track. 

"Hang on, guys!" Ayumi used her Mystic powers to magically conjure a giant sponge on the ground where they were going to land, and they bounced off of it before they landed on their feet. They all started to run just as they stood up. 

{"Well this is certainly a turn of events!"} Present Mic said, as Tokoroki and Bakugo burst out of the pink smoke and bolting to towards them. {"In a stunning move, the Power Rangers and Izuku Midoriya have blasted past their classmates from 1-A! They cleared that minefield in an instant! Eraserhead! Your students are amazing! What the heck are you teaching them!"}

{"This has nothing to do with me."} Aizawa said, watching the group running. {"Each of them is powered by their own drive to succeed. And some have the fighting spirit to never give up."}

Everyone rushed through the gateway as Bakugo used his explosive powers and Todoroki used his ice. {"There you have it! ERASER HEAD'S A TERRIBLE TEACHER!"}

{"I'm what?!"}

Soon enough, Sora, Izuku, Reina, Ayumi, Cyrus, Kiba, Bakugo and Todoroki were all neck and neck as they left the minefield, the stadium in sight and the gate with the finish line right in front of him.

"Who would have imagined at the beginning of this race that the climax would be a nonstop megamix of epic surprises! The first person to make it back into the stadium is..."

Two people ran out of the tunnel first.

{"Amazing! Amazing!"} Present Mic could barely contain his excitement anymore as he jumped in joy. {"SORA UKASHI AND IZUKU MIDORIYA! BOTH OF THEM CROSSED THE FINISH LINE AT THE SAME TIME!"}

{"Amazing! Amazing!"} Present Mic could barely contain his excitement anymore as he jumped in joy. {"SORA UKASHI AND IZUKU MIDORIYA! BOTH OF THEM CROSSED THE FINISH LINE AT THE SAME TIME!"}

The crowd exploded in furious cheers as they dropped down confetti for the two boys.

After taking a moment to catch his breath, Sora took a moment to look around. Taking in the cheers and praises being sent to him by the audience. The feeling of it all made his heart flutter.

He then looked over at Izuku, who was panting heavily as he tried to catch his breath.

"Izuku." Izuku looked up as Sora came into view as he reached out a hand to the boy with a grin. "Good race."

"Ukashi..." The broccoli-haired boy uttered out before grabbing the Red Ranger's hand. "T-Thanks."

Sora smiled and raised Izuku's hand up high for the whole audience, giving him the credit and praise he deserves, causing the audience to clap and cheer extra loudly. Izuku was purely surprised to see Sora do this for him. He happened to look up at the stands, to where the teachers were, and he could see All Might, looking down at him as he clapped. Izuku could see the man smile at him, just as he did when Izuku tried to save him back at the USJ.

All Might was proud of him.

Izuku gives the man a big grin against his tears. "I did it, All Might!" The Pro nodded, as though he had heard Izuku's thought.

"Sora! Izuku!" Ayumi exclaimed excitedly, running over to the pair with Reina, Kiba, and Cyrus. "Way to go!"

"Yeah, nice job tying with Sora for first place, String Bean." Reina snorted, lightly punching Izuki in the arm.

 Kiba's sky blue eyes were twinkling with excitement as he beamed the green-haired boy. "Seriously, dude, using that piece of metal from one of those Villain Bots and using it as a sled was awesome!" 

 "I have to admit, even I didn't think of that. I'm honestly impressed." Cyrus spoke in agreement.

"O-Oh! Uh, th-thanks!" Izuku responded with a stutter, embarrassed by the praise. "I-I could say the same for you guys! The way you were all able to defeat the 0-pointer robots so easily was amazing!"

"Is that so? Thanks." Ayumi giggled.

"Man, you really went and got so much better, Izuku!" Sora chimed in as he clenched his fists and smiled, "But don't expect us to take it easy on you from now!" he vowed firmly, holding out his right extremity to his classmate, who blinked in surprise. However, he cracked a small smile.

"Then let's do our best in the next round, Sora," he insisted, bumping his fist against his.

Todoroki and then Bakugo came out of the tunnel after the Rangers. Making former sixth-place, and the latter seventh.

Going off to the side of the entrance, Bakugo took a moment to catch his breath. Panting with sweat running down his face as his blood started to boil. Grabbing his left arm as he started to shake. "Deku...Those extras...No way...Not again..."

{"The contestants are pouring in one after the other! Let's hear some applause for all our competitors as we prepare the results!"} Present Mic said as Todoroki was panting, also trying to catch his breath. He looked at the group and glared at them before walking away.

"Deku! Ukashi!" Ochaco approached them, staggering as she neared the two. Iida was there too, but he was comically sulking in the background over losing a race with his type of Quirk.

The brunette clenched her fists, bringing them up to her chest. "You two got first place together, that's amazing! That's so frustrating, dang it!" She leaned over the green-haired boy.

"It-it was nothing!" Izuku blurted, wrapping his arms around himself, covering his flustered face. 

"You were amazing yourself, Uraraka. You did your best." Ayumi complimented her friend with a smile.

It was at that moment when Cyrus looked back at the tunnel and saw that Momo was the next one to run. However, he noticed that she was really out of breath and exhausted. "Momo? What happened to you?"

"C-Cyrus...please, get this thing off me." She pleaded and turned herself to the side.

Once everyone saw what she was talking about, they cringed.

"Two birds with one stone!" Mineta cheered, who used his Quirk to stick to her back and piggy-backed all the way to the finish line. Despite her best efforts to beat him off her, the purple-haired pervert wouldn't come off. "I'm a freaking genius!"

Cyrus delivered a precise shot of water at the pervert's head, making him let go as he flew away. "You're the worst!"

Mina was next to reach the finish line. When she saw Mineta getting blasted by water and flying in her direction, she held up her arms as though they were a goal. When Mineta flew between her arms she shouted, "Score!"

"Nice one, Mimi!" Kiba called out.

As the last of the people that would be going onto the next round of the games, Midnight got on the stage again. {"The first game for the first-years is finally over, and what a game it was. Now let's take a look at the status, shall we?"}

"Usually, it would be the top 42 who get to move on to the next round, but because the number of 1st year hero course students got expanded this year, it was only right to do the same here," Nemuri announced. "And to those who still couldn't make the cut, don't fret. We have something prepared for all to still shine!" Nemuri licks her lips with anticipation. "The real competition begins next. The press is keeping an eye out, so you better give your all." The screen shows the randomizer again, spinning. "And the next game will be..." The randomizer stops. "...the Cavalry Battle!"

"Cavalry Battle?" Kaminari questioned. "I'm bad at those..."

"Huh?" Tsuyu said with a finger on her chin. "It's not an individual event. I wonder how they'll split us up."

"Let me explain," Midnight goes on, "The participants can form teams of 2-4 as they wish. It's basically the same as regular cavalry battles, but with one difference: based on the results of the last competition, each person has been assigned with value points."

"Alright, that makes sense." Cyrus nodded as he and everyone else paid close attention to Midnight's instructions. "It's pretty much a point-based game."

"Oh, so it's like the Entrance Exams!" Ayumi said, hitting her fist in her palm. "I get it now!" 

"Sounds simple to me." Reina said as she nudged her best friend.

"So it's a point based system huh...?" Sora said a bit amazed that they would take that route.

"Then that means each team is worth different points depending on who's in the team," Ochaco said.

"Oh, I get it!" Mina exclaimed.

Kiba added with a smile. "Just like that game I used to play as a kid!"

They flinched from the crack of Midnight's whip.

"Maybe you should shut up and let me explain things to you!" Midnight exclaimed angrily, causing the students quiet down. "Good. Now, as I was saying, the points assigned go up by 5 points, starting from the bottom. 50th place gets 5 points, 49th gets 10 points, 48th gets 15 points, and so on..."

"Huh..." Sora started counting in his head. "That means mine and Izuku's value points would be 250 each."

"250? That doesn't sound so bad..." Izuku muttered, and maybe a little relieved it wasn't too high.

"And the point value assigned to the number one spot is...TEN MILLION POINTS!" Midnight announced. "But since today we have two first place students, the points will be split up between the two and each one will have five million points!"

Every one of the students gasped at this, as did the Rangers and Izuku as their jaws dropped. "Five million points each!? That's insane!" Ayumi exclaimed.

"Yeah, no kidding!" Kiba said, "Wait..." He started to scratch his head as he asked, "... Who got in first place in the obstacle course race again?"

Reina thought to herself as she replied. "If I remember correctly, I got in second place technically..."

"So I guess it was Sora and Str--" Cyrus' eyes widened in shock as did the others as they realized who exactly was lucky enough to get the ten million points. The quartet slowly turned their heads towards Sora and Izuku, and their faces went slack.

"Oh Shi..." Reina started to say.

"...Take mushrooms." Kiba finished. 

"TE--TE--TE--TEN MILLION POINTS!?" Izuku exclaimed as his body shook.

"Oh crap." Sora uttered, blinking in surprise and disbelief. 

It hadn't been long before they realized that everyone even their own classmates stared daggers at Sora and Izuku, making the two of them jump. "AAhh! WE HAVE AN ARMY!" Ayumi shouted. 

Kiba yelled as he didn't know what to do at the moment, "THIS IS WORSE THAN OUR TIME IN MIDDLE SCHOOL!"

"That's right." Midnight said, from the stage as she licked her lips, "It's survival of the fittest, with a chance for those at the bottom to overthrow the top! As you must have heard countless times since enrolling at U.A, this is Plus Ultra! After taking first place in the qualifiers, Sora Ukashi and Midoriya Izuku has five million points!!" 

Now all teens in the field tensely stared down the nervous boy.

Sora could feel all the pressure in the air, unlike the eyes he's received in the past. They weren't dark sneers of distaste or jeers of laughter, but now... it was different. He was different. He and the others had worked their asses off to get this far in the festival, so he wasn't going to fold now. Besides, they faced way worse obstacles before, what's one more?

'There's a lot pressure...' He thought, before clenching his fist with a challenging smirk. 'But that makes it even more exciting.'

"Guys, what do we do!?" Izuku asked with a whisper, looking to the Rangers for support. 

"Simple." The group looked at the Red Ranger as they saw his determined look. "We accept their challenge."

Reina smirked at this. "Exactly. Now's the time to really woman up."

Kiba added with a grin as he gave Izuku a thumbs up. "Yeah man, since Cap and Rei are considered power types, Ayu technically has flight, Cy has smarts and I got speed. We can do a team blast to take them on!"

"WHY ARE WE TEAM SONIC ALL OF A SUDDEN?" Cyrus blinked.

"Now then, I will explain the rules cavalry battle!" Midnight said, just as the leaderboard disappeared, and it showed an image of Present Mic and Thirteen, carrying All Might, "The time limit is fifteen minutes. Each team is worth the total of its members' points. The riders will wear a headband with that a number on their foreheads. The opposing teams will try to grab each other's headbands until time runs out, and try to keep as many points as they can. The stolen headband however must be worn from the neck up; the more you steal the harder it'll be to manage them! And the most important thing is that even if your headband gets stolen, or if you team falls, you're not out!"

"So it's anyone's game." Momo said with a hand on her chin.

"So you must keep your focus the whole time." Cyrus had a serious look on his face as he went through the rules again in his head. "With the different teams and quirk combinations, it'll be nearly impossible to try and make a plan beforehand. It's best to make one initial strategy at the beginning and adapt as the game goes on."

"Then..." Mina started to think aloud. "... One strategy could be to let someone take your points first so you'll be more free."

"It's hard to say without seeing how all the points end up getting split up, Mina." Tsuyu said.

Midnight had continued on. "Now during the game, it'll be a cruel fight where you can use your Quirks, but nonetheless it is still a cavalry battle. You'll get a red card for attacks that are trying to make people fall on purpose. You'll be removed immediately!"

Most of Class 1-A looked to Bakugo, making him flinch. "Oh, you're kidding me." The boy said after he clicked his tongue in annoyance. 

"With that being said..." Midnight said, before showing a clock just behind her. "...You all have fifteen minutes to build your teams! Better get started!" 

"Okay!" Reina said to her friends. "Looks like we're gonna team up together!"

"Yup, all we need is to do is figure out who's gonna do what." Ayumi hummed in thought. 

Cyrus placed a finger near his chin.. "Hmm, considering it's five of us, it's gonna be extremely difficult, but not impossible to stand a chance at winning. Kiba will be in the front and we'll use his control of Earth, Lightning, and the Ptera Scream to get us away from trouble. Reina, you and I will be the ones that support from the sides and back. Create defenses to keep them off our backs. As the one with the most points, Sora will be the rider and the attack. As for you, Ayumi, you can share that role with him by riding on his back and using your Ranger abilites to repel anyone who gets too close." The Blue Ranger explained it to them before grinning. "If we work together, then we'll have the best combination of offense and defense!"

The other Rangers looked at him in slight surprise. He really thought of all that in just a few minutes? 

"Nicely done." Sora ruffled Cyrus' hair with a grin. "That sounds like a plan I could get behind."

"As long as Kiba promises to give us a heads up about using the Ptera Scream." Reina grumbled, glancing at the Yellow Ranger.

 "I said I was sorry!" Kiba yelled before sighing in defeat. "Fine. I promise to give you guys a heads up when I'm about to use the Ptera Scream. And yea, I'm all for going with Cy's plan."

"Me too!" Ayumi  agreed with a bright smile. "Let's do this!"


Later...

The buzzer went off. The 15 minutes to gather together a team was over.

"Oh, good. It's time to get this party started!" Midnight said, stretching her arms.

President Mic looked to Aizawa, who was napping. {"Hey! Hey! Look alive!"} He patted him on the shoulder, walking up Aizawa. Present Mic then turned to the audience and turned on his microphone. {"After fifteen minutes to pick teammates and talk strategy, 12 cavalry teams are ready to go head to head!"}

Aizawa groggily looked down at the field at the teams. "...I'm seeing some interesting team-ups."

{"Come on! Everyone get your hands in the air! It's time for an arena-thumping U.A. battle royale! Let me hear you scream!"}

As the crowd cheered, the teams have all gotten together and decided on their formations. Especially, the Rangers...who were quite the interesting sight.

As planned for their group, Sora was the rider with Kiba acting as the front horse, while Cyrus and Reina herself was the support. And much to everyone's amusement and confusion, Sora was carrying Ayumi, who was sporting an embarrassed look, as she clung onto his back like a koala bear.

'I know Cyrus suggested this idea, but...' The Pink Ranger thought, blushing bright red as she leaned over Sora's shoulder.

Though the team leader wasn't fairing much better himself, feeling Ayumi's ample breasts touching his back. 'So soft...' He thought, his face burning as he imagined what the rest of her looked like.

"Eh,  Sora?" Ayumi blinked in confusion.

"I'm fine." Smacking his face to regain his composure, Sora wrapped the five million point headband tightly around his head before leaning forward.

"You guys ready?" He asked his team. "This is it!"

"Yeah!" Ayumi exclaimed with a look of determination.

"Ready!" Cyrus answered with a nod.

"Let's kick some ass!" Reina smirked madly.

"To victory!" Kiba yelled, enthusiastically

{"Counting down to the brutal bloody battle!"} Present Mic said over the PA, {"3... 2... 1...!"}

"BEGIN!" Midnight had soon shouted. 

And thus began the event. The roars of the students soon filled the space of the stadium as they began to run towards the middle, but mostly towards...

"GET THOSE FIVE MILLION POINTS!"

"CHARGE AT DEKU!" Bakugo yelled to his team. "WE'RE GETTING THE FIVE MILLION POINTS!"

"But what about Ukashi's—"

"DEKUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" The explosive blond ignored Sero's comment as he smacked Kirishima's head. Bakugo's team consisted of himself, Sero in the right wing, Kirishima in the front, and Mina in the back left.

Everyone began to move, Sora's group excluded, and as expected most of the teams charged at him and Izuku's teams first; Sora and his team kept to themselves as half of the students went after his team, the other Izuku

Sora and the others soon noticed Tetsutetsu's team a bit closer to him; his team had been charging at full speed as well as Hagakure's team. Everyone noticed that she was lacking a shirt and bra, though it's not like it mattered considering that she was invisible. Her team, which  consisted of Jiro, Sato, and Koda seemed to blushing a little though.

"IT'S BASICALLY A BATTLE FOR THE FIVE MILLION POINTS!" The Metal Man yelled. "C'mere!"

"Ukashi!" Hagakure exclaimed. "I'll be taking the headband!"

"An attack without delay, huh?" Cyrus said. "The fate of the pursued...Time to make our move!"

"Right!" Sora said while grinning. "Our choice is to run!"

"LIKE WE'RE GOING TO LET YOU!" Tetsutetsu yelled as his group stood in his way. "Juzo!"

"Got it!" The student named Juzo yelled before he activated his Quirk. He was a Class 1-B student with pale skin, angular eyes, mid-length spiked hair of beige color, and small eyebrows. His most unusual feature was that his teeth sat on the outside of his skin, and thus he had no discernible lips, giving him a skull-like appearance.

As Juzo stomped on the ground, the Rangers stopped in their tracks when they saw the ground turn to liquid, just as they were within reach of Sora's team; they team started to sink into the ground.

"What's happening!?" Ayumi exclaimed, feeling the group go lopsided.

"We're sinking!" Cyrus exclaimed, as their legs descended into the ground.

"It must be that guy's Quirk! Softening the ground into quicksand, huh?" Reina informed them as she witnessed this.

"Kiba!" Sora called to the Yellow Ranger.

"Don't worry. I got this." Kiba grinned as he readied himself. "Brace, yourelves!"

Kiba took air into his lungs, before opening his mouth. "KYAAAAAA!" He bellowed as waves of yellow sonic energy hit both teams.

"Ahhh!" Team Tetsutetsu cried out in pain and clamped both hands over their ears.

"My ears!" Hagakure yelped as she did the same.

"Our turn." Sora said, harnessing his Ranger abilities for his team to literally phase through the attack and land back on soild ground.

Intangibility. This power belonged to Jack Landors, the SPD Red Ranger. This genetic ability allows him to phase his molecules through solid matter at will, which is very useful when escaping enemies or dodging physical attacks.

{"...WHAAAAAT!?"} Present Mic blinked lowered his jaw in utter shock. {"Team Ranger has not only stun their foes, but phased through the ground too!?"}


[Sports Festival Stadium: Stands]

"Wowza!" Miro exclaimed in surprise and amazement. "That was the same as my Permeation Quirk!"

"But how is that possible?" Tamaki quesitoned with wide eyes. "I thought they were Quirkless."

"Because they're so awesome, that's why!" Nejire squealed in joy!


 "Now's our chance!" Sora exclaimed. "Rei!"

"Right!" The greenette took a deep breath –

And the Rangers vanished.

Present Mic nearly choke on his spit when he watched in utter fascination as the team disappeared from view.

{"What the? Team Ranger has now disappeared?!"}

The sudden disappearance had caught the opposing teams off guard, causing them to stop.

"What just happened?" Kendo asked.

"They disappeared?" Jiro questioned.

"Just how many things can they do?!" Mineta complained as he wished he could turn invisible to peep on girls.

"Where the hell did they go?" Tetsutestsu frowned angrily.

"No way!" Sato gasped. "Did they turn invisible!?"

"Invisible!?" 

"Wait, they had an invisibility power too?" Hagakure questioned. "How!?"

About a second later, the Rangers reappeared, running off in another direction.

"There they are!"

 "They were able to make that distance!?"

"After them!"

"Right!"

"That was amazing, Reina!" Cyrus praised.

"Yeah, way to go!" Ayumi nodded down to the green-haired girl.

Reina snorted at this. "I try."

She had used the power that belonged to Tommy Oliver, the Black Dino Thunder Ranger. Which granted him the power to turn invisible.

"Hey, no one here knows their team as well as we know each other." Kiba laughed. "We got this!"

The team was then surprised at the fact that Izuku was flying thanks to the jetpack that was on his back.  "Is Izuku wearing equipment from the support course!?" Cyrus exclaimed. 

"Holy crap! That's actually pretty cool!" Sora said in amazement.

Ayumi then felt her senses tingled once more before she looked behind her and saw an large fist swinging it at her and Sora. "Sora, duck!" She warned, using her body weight to push Sora forward.

"Whoa!" Sora yelped, as he and Ayumi ducked just before that giant hand was about to take off his headband. As he raised his head up, he took a clear view on that person who almost stole his points.

It was one of the team leaders of the Class B team and their Class Rep, Itsuka Kendo: a girl with teal eyes and long, ginger hair, that was always worn tied into a high ponytail on the left side of her head. Her bangs were split into three clumps around her eyes. Some of her hair stuck up in large tufts on the top of her head.

"Damnit! I was close!" She cursed as her team was getting close to the Rangers.

"She can enlarge her hands?" Cyrus questioned, impressed by the girl's Quirk.

"Man! She could've squashed us with that big hand!" Kiba shouted as he just noticed Kendo's team behind.

"Then, let's haul ass!" Reina told the group.

 "Right." Sora said as he turned to his teammates, but when he faced forward, his eyes landed on a mouth that was literally floating inches away from his face.

"Sup, cutie?" The mouth said with a female voice.

"WHAT THE SHIT!" Sora almost stumbled when he was startled after he just noticed that creepy mouth. But then he noticed some globs of flesh floating around him.

He looked back at Kendo's team and noticed that one of the girls who's holding her on the right had a mouth and some parts of her body missing. It was Setsuna Tokage, a young girl of average height who had surprisingly large, upturned dusky green eyes with long lower eyelashes, and notably long and pointed teeth. Her hair is a dark moss green, collectively reaching just below her shoulders aside from a short clump that hangs in the centre of her forehead, and it grows waiver and thinner the lower down it gets. She was using her Lizard Tail Splitter quirk, which allowed her to split her body into several pieces and control them telekinetically.

"That headband is ours!" Tokage said as her floating mouth grinned at Sora.

The fleshy orbs shot towards Sora. But before the floating bits would come closer to Sora, Ayumi held out a hand past Sora and in front of the the body parts.

"Fluttering of Storm!" She called out, unleashing a gust of wind from her palm and blowing the fleshy orbs away from him.

"Thanks, Ayu! I owe you one!" Sora said with a smile.

"We got your back!" Cyrus said before he blocked a giant hand attack from Kendo with a blue force field.

"Cap! They're coming from our right!" Kiba warned.

Sora turned to his right and saw another class B team heading towards them. It was a young girl with shoulder-length dark hair, being carried by two guys. One of them was a larger and muscled man with yellow skin and was wearing some sort of helmet. The other guy was short and his head was literally a speech bubble from the comics. 

"Damn, they must really want that headband." Reina huffed, seeing more teams coming their way.

BOOM!

Before they could react, Bakugo rocketed himself away from the team and towards Izuku, leaving a trail of smoke, as it nearly blinded them. "Bakugo!? " Ayumi exclaimed out of mere shock.

WHAT IS HE DOING!? " Kiba exclaimed.

Suddenly, Sora remembered what the rules that were explained as his eyes lit up. 'Guess she never said we couldn't use other methods.'

At that moment, a chibi-Red Ranger lit a lightbulb in his head.

"Guys! I have a plan!" Sora said, gaining the attention from his teammates. "Ayu, when I said 'Now', I want you to warp everyone in that direction, as quickly as possible." He pointed to the spot where it looked like a safe zone because no other teams were found there.

"What are you gonna do?" Ayumi asked, a little surprised about the sound of his plan.

"Just trust me! We need to get away from the others before it's too late!"

"...Alright, we'll trust you on this." The blonde nodded as she slipped off his back and sat behind him. She always knew Sora was strong and she won't even hesitate to put her trust in him. "Be careful."

Just when Kendo and the other team was about to encircle Sora, he gave it the signal.

"NOW!" The Red Ranger yelled, hands together like a ninja. "Ninja Air Assault!" 

He jumped out of their hands and began running through the air, right before Ayumi used the White Dino Gem Power to warp the others and herself away. The whole audience and some of the students watched in shock at this tactic, though other teams were also frustrated that they didn't get the chance to take his five million points.

As Sora bolted towards Bakugo and Izuku's group, just as he heard the ash-blonde yell to Izuku, "DON'T GET CARRIED AWAY, DEKU! " 

"K-Kacchan?!" Izuku's eyes popped out.

"Eeep!" Ochaco squeaked. "He's getting too close!"

"DIE!" Bakugo grinned savagely as he propelled an arm forward. As he was about to unleash another powerful explosion...

"Tokoyami!" Izuku called out to his bird-headed classmate.

"Dark Sha—"

"LEROOOY JENKINS!"

"Wait, what—"

 Right as Bakugo and everyone else turned to see what was calling out to them, the Red Ranger dove towards Bakugo and began kicking him repeatedly, sending him flying out of the way like a ragdoll.

Everyone present to see that stunt nearly dropped their jaws in response as the ash-blond was sent flying across the stadium. As everyone's eyes continued to follow him, before he could crash into the audience, Sero quickly shot out a long strand of tape and pulled him back. Kirishima and company pretty much had to dive to catch the explosion boy as he came flying back.

"Oh, what the hell!" Sero barked.

"Nice catch...!" Kirishima complimented him as they all caught him.

"Spandex Bastards..." Bakugo growled like a feral beast as he wiped the blood of his face. His teammates flinching as they saw the completely livid look on his face. "WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU, YOU'RE DEAD!"

{"Hey, he and Ukashi separated from their horses!"} Present Mic called out. {"Is that allowed?!"}

"Well, it's a technicality, so it's okay in our books! I mean, take a look at Ukashi, he's flying around!" Midnight responded in an otherwise excited matter.

{"Well, what would've happened if he didn't get caught then?"} Present Mic then asked.

{"His team would've lost. Plain and simple."} Aizawa answered.

As Sora glided in the air, he looked down and saw his team reaching to the location he pointed at. "Alright!" At that moment, he let gravity take over as he dove back to the ground level while he shouted in excitement. "WHHOOHOOOO!"

Before the audience was about to fear that this student would get himself hurt, Sora felt himself get pulled by an unknown force, slowing his decent. It had turned out to be Ayumi who pulled him back into the team.

Telekinesis. This was the power belonged to Karone, the 2nd Lost Galaxy Pink Ranger.

"Nice one, Sora!" Reina commented as the dark-haired teen recovered, After Ayumi reclaimed her spot on his back, the team ran somewhere else as they remained away from others.

"Yeah! That's what I'm talking about!" Kiba exclaimed with his a huge grin. "You really showed that guy what for!"

"Your plan paid off, Sora! Good job!" Cyrus said with a smile.

"Yeah! Way to go, Sora!" Ayumi added cheerfully.

"Thanks guys!" The Red Ranger replied as he turned behind to see the other teams trying to pursue him, but they found themselves out of their reach. "We have to hold on until the time runs out!"


While the commentators were busy discussing about the rules and Team Bakugo recovering from Sora's interference, Team Izuku landed safely on the stadium grounds once more, though this time with a bit of difficulty due to one of Hatsume's boots being destroyed.

"Nice landing, Uraraka!" Izuku thanked the floater girl.

"Thanks, but I don't think we can keep escaping to the sky at this rate. It's hard to control the landing with just one foot." Ochaco responded.

"Yeah, I can see that. Looks like we won't be able to escape into the air so easily anymore... And I don't know if Sora meant to do that, but we got lucky with that last attack just then." Izuku mumbled to himself.

"Meaning that we'll have to survive this onslaught with Uraraka's Zero Gravity and Dark Shadow." Tokoyami summarized. "Increased movement and an all-range defense is what we have at the moment."


{"Well there's our unexpected event of the day, ladies and gents! As we expected of the remaining team; they're all after the second-best target: Team Midoriya! Class A is popping off and showing off their skills!"} Present Mic announced loudly.

The cameramen were especially feisty for the situation. Nearly in every available space was a high quality, picture snapping and video recording piece of equipment taking evidence of the spectacular event that was in front of them. Whether or not it was the spotlights of the two five million pointers, Class A; the mere mention of the student's accomplishments and the actions involving their Quirks caused riots.

{"Alright, let's take a look at their points. It's nearly the second half of the Calvary Battle."} Aizawa suggested. Complying to his request, Present Mic pressed a few buttons on their terminals, and a few moments later, the audience turned towards the various monitors.

{"Now then, let's take a look..."} Present Mic started. {"At the current rankings!"}

 

...

 

...

 

"Huh?" One audience member blinked as he looked up.

"Isn't it kind of...?" Another added. It seemed as though the staff members and commentators themselves had now started to notice the strange tallies showing up on screen as Present Mic adjusted his sunglasses.

{"Uh... Wait a minute."} He squinted.

Out of the twelve teams, other than the Rangers points and Team Izuku, the other teams seemed to be doing rather...bad for some reason. Half of the teams had points, while the others all had...

{"Other than Team Ranger and Team Midoriya, Class A isn't doing so well... Wait, Bakugo's score of all people is...?!"}

Bakugo's points were taken when he felt a tug on his head, with his forehead no longer having something on it. Turning, he glared at the team in second place, Team Monoma. Said person was a young man of average height with slick blond hair.

"Your class is too small-minded." He taunted, taking the headband away. "Think bigger."

Nearby, the Rangers heard Monoma explain that he and some of his classmates purposely threw the Obstacle Race in order to scout Class 1-A's Quirks. They remained in the top forty while Bakugo and their other rivals used their Quirk's freely. Monama comments that it was foolish on their part to obsess about the preliminary round and continues to taunt the ash-blonde. Neito talks about how Bakugo was famous for being involved in the incident and calls him a victim. Absolutely livid, Bakugo decided to forgo his original plans and told his team they're going to annihilate Class 1-B before going after Izuku or the Rangers.

"So, they did this as a class?" Cyrus hummed.

"Wow...didn't expect some of class 1-B to think of something like that." Ayumi commented as she and even the rest of her team had managed to hear Monoma's words. "Not sure whether to be impressed or...kinda mad."

"Well it will certainly leave them with a bigger expression." Sora said as Ayumi rose a brow at him. "Can't deny, everyone does kinda love an underdog."

"Yeah that's true." Kiba nodded before a smile came to his face. "But on the bright side, we won't have to worry about most of them for a while! And I doubt some of them will be after Izuku's headband if they just plan to try and take first in the last round!"

"Yeah, I wouldn't be so sure about that." Reina said with a serious tone as she and the rest of the Rangers looked ahead to see Izuku's team crossed paths with Shoto's.

{"And now, we've reached the halfway point of the games!"} Mic announced. {"As the Cavalry Battle enters it's second half, its still anyone's game! Class 1-B has made an unexpected showing, but who will claim all the ten million points in the end? That's the real question, sports fans!"}

To Be Continued...

 

 

Notes:

LONGEST. CHAPTER. EVER!!!

So, I decided to go on the route with all the Rangers teaming up! I think it was better to make it this way, as I believe that it would better suit the wackiness of BNHA's universe and its diverse cast of members. Since they didn't really need anymore headbands, I just had them avoid the other teams by using several abilities of the past Rangers.

So, we all know who continued on in the canon of Boku no Hero Academia, so I plan to keep it a bit similar. The Rangers will take first place, with Team Izuku barely meeting ends as the 4h place, though I might plan to make more teams pass. Do you suppose there should be some events that should go differently? Let me know.

I'll be starting to discuss how the next events will play out. I might advance Monoma (Because he's bad as Bakugo and needs to be humbled.) and a few other characters to advance to the 1v1s, perhaps I should allot the finals as to a certain number. There were sixteen in canon, so with six teams...probably 24 students.

Reina, Cyrus, and Kiba, and Ayumi will drop out so they can be on the look out for any attack Alsatia and Scrozzle might send their way, while Sora advances for the team.

Please be sure to favorite and follow if you like the story, and also review it. If you have any questions or discussions you'd have for me, then please in a review or a PM my profile.

Thank you for reading, may God bless you, and have a wonderful day.

Sports Festival - Stadium

To say the tension was thick out in the field would certainly be an understatement. Right now, the situation with the calvary battle could only be described by a few words. A complete warzone. Teams were still running around all over the place desperate to get what points they could. But there were a number of teams that truly stood out.

But without the doubt there were three teams everyone had their eyes on out of the students: The Rangers, Team Izuku, and the one who seemed to be after the latter' headband the most. Team Todoroki.

The Rangers noticed the confrontation between the two team as they ran through the field."I was expecting Todoroki to come after us after due to his declaration of war to us, especially you Sora." Cyrus spoke up as Tokoyami's Dark Shadow was ready to start being the quirk shield, he's been being through the game so far. "But I guess he did set his eyes on Izuku first."

"Well, that's kinda rude." Kiba huffed out. "Dude claimed us to be the biggest challenge, but doesn't come for us?"

"Which means, he must've saw String Bean as a huge stepping stone or as easy pickings and then turned his sights on us." Reina chimed in. "Huh. I don't know whether to feel insulted or not."

"So, what's the plan now?" Ayumi asked outloud. "Do we help Izuku or do we keep avoiding the other teams?"

Sora listened to his friends' words as he thought back to Todoroki's words.

"You're all rather close to the Principal. Seems though he's taken a liking to you all, considering everything you've done."

"Simple. I'm vowing to beat the Power Rangers out of everyone." 

 "Why not do both?" Sora spoke up, getting the attention of his teammates.

"Sora...?" Ayumi uttered, looking up at the boy.

"Like Izuku said, everyone's looking to do their best, so we should, too!" Sora declared. "Besides, I made my own declaration to him and I intend to see it through!"

Reina looked up to Sora with a smirk, Ayumi's face turned bright red and Cyrus merely smiled. "You really are cool, Sora!"

"Aye aye, Captain!" Kiba exclaimed as they began their charge towards the direction of Izuku and Shoto's teams.


"I didn't think I'd have to wait long to have a confrontation with him. Seems like I was right in that regard." Tokoyami commentated. "He seems to think highly of you, Midoriya."

"Trust me, he's gonna be after us this whole game." Izuku said with a serious tone as he tried to control his breathing. The pressure was certainly intense, but they couldn't let it get to them now. "Still, the games only half way over. We've come too far to give up now!"

"Iida forward!" Todoroki ordered firmly. They needed to get to him and fast before he could escape. They've witnessed Izuku's team easily moving around the entire time. Ochako and that pink-haired girl from support make a deadly combination in terms of mobility, so it would be best to strike fast.

"Right!" Iida quickly responded as he revved up his engine legs.

Right as he was about to run forward, along with Momo creating a few specific objects, the engine quirk user suddenly felt some force holding him in place and keeping him from moving forward. "Iida, what are you doing?" Todoroki asked with a bit of an irritated tone. "Go!"

"I can't...move..." Iida grunted as he struggled to overcome the force keeping his legs from moving. As his team gave him confused and shocked looks, a voice called out and got everyone's attention.

"TODOROKI!"

Both teams turned and were shocked to see the Rangers coming their way, with Sora holding a smirk. "Hope you don't mind if we join in?"

"Sora!?" Izuku blinked twice. 

"It's Ukashi's team!" Momo gasped, surprised to see the team.

"Are they helping us?" Ochaco wondered.

It was then Iida noticed Ayumi holding out her hand towards him as Todoroki watched as more teams ran towards them, most likely after Izuku's headband. "Suzuni. She must be the reason I can't move!"

"Tch, damn it." Todoroki clicked his tongue as he glared at the Rangers. 'Opponents to defeat indeed.'  He thought before addressing his team. "Well let's try and get her to lose concentration. Yaoyorozu!"

"Right!" Momo nodded as she created a sheet of insolation that Todoroki quickly covered himself, Momo, and Iida with.

"Kaminari now!"

"Right!" Kaminari said with a grin as sparks started to appear on his body. "Hope that blanket is strong enough Yaoyorozu! Indiscriminate Shock – 1.3 million volts!" Kaminari then unleased a powerful burst of electricity from his body. Due to the insolation blanket made by Momo, Kaminari's teammates were completely unharmed while the other teams that were approaching them were horribly shocked.

"Not again!" Tsuyu and the rest of her team yelled.

"Kaminari!" Jiro yelled as she was already thinking of ways to get payback on her dum-dum of a friend later.

Dark Shadow was quick to block the electricity from hitting Izuku and his team, but the sentient quirk flinched horribly at being hit with the electricity.

Todoroki kept his eyes on the Rangers, hoping that getting zapped would cause Ayumi to lose control over Iida's engines. But what happened next caused the dual quirk user to gasp as all the electricity that headed towards the Rangers was suddenly directed right into Kiba, as if the team's front horse was a living lightning rod. "WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" He let out happily as the electricity only seemed to go to him and not spread to the rest of his team.

"What?" Todoroki let out as Kaminari was forced to stop his electric assault. Once the electricity died down, Kiba was seen with absolutely no damage on him. Heck, he actually looked extremely charged up than before.

"Thanks for the pick-me-up, fellow Pikachu!"

"Alright, it worked!" Cyrus said in a victorious tone as Reina smirked a little and Ayumi let out a giggle.

The Red Ranger then glanced over at Izuku's team. "Sorry guys, we're tagging in now!"

He then held his hand out to the team and used a telekinetic wave to send his fellow 5 million point team away from the confrontation, much to their shock.

Telekinesis. This power belonged to Andros. The Red Space Ranger.

{"Team Midoriya has avoided a confrontation with Team Todoroki as Team Ranger plans to take their place!"} Present Mic announced with excitement in his voice as the crowd cheered.

"Damn it!" Todoroki yelled after Momo created something for him to use. A wooden boomerang. "Take this!" Todoroki wasted no time and threw the boomerang toward Ayumi.

"Guys, watch out!" Reina quickly warned the duo she was helping carry. "Boomerang!"

Sora and Ayumi acted quickly and dodged to avoid the boomerang. Thankfully for Team Todoroki, that was exactly what they need as Ayumi lost a bit of her concentration on her Telekinesis. "Iida now! Quickly!" Todoroki ordered the instant Iida confirmed he could move his legs again. Wasting no time, Iida quickly took off forward at high speed. Momo then created a pole that grazed the ground a bit as Todoroki directed his quirk through said pole as his team went forward. What resulted was the ground behind Team Todoroki becoming frozen as well as all the teams Kaminari stunned getting their feet frozen to the ground.

{"Well, would you look at that?! Todoroki took care of some teams behind him in an instant with the help of his team?"} Present Mic said in a startled manner.

{"He froze them after Kaminari's initial attack caused them to stop. Compared to how people avoided it from the obstacle race, he made sure to make them viable to being frozen."} Aizawa explained.

{"...Nice commentary!"} Present Mic smiled, responding with a thumbs up.

{"...Now, how will our ragtag team of morphers respond."} The Erasure Hero said otherwise.

"Here they come!" Kiba called out, seeing Todoroki's team approaching.

"I got this!" Sora said, setting his hands ablaze. "Roar of Flames!" He shouted as he hurled a ball of fire at two-colored haired boy, but Momo quickly created a stone structure from her arm and blocked the attack.

"Don't even thinking about running." Todoroki said with a fierce glare as he used the pole Momo created earlier again. Directing it across the ground, Todoroki created an ice barrier that surrounded a decent radius of the area around them, along with spikes toping the ice walls. With the border of the arena itself close by and the ice wall's height, him own team and the Rangers all trapped together. 'I was intending to take Midoriya's headband first...but that's fine. I was hoping to face them soon anyway.'

"Uuuuuh..." Ayumi let out with a sweat drop as she looked at the ice wall trapping them. Specifically, the rather sharp spikes at the top. "I hope no one plans to jump over those..."

"Seems like he's taking us seriously now." Reina noted.

"He's right. Todoroki is handicapping himself, taking his time." Cyrus quickly put his brain to work as he observed the other team. "He's wary of us, and that hesitation will cost him. Along with that, Kaminari isn't a threat due to Kiba being able to absorb any electricity that comes our way. Iida's speed won't help due to our own super speed. And Momo's Creation might be their only saving grace."

"Which makes us the perfect counters for them." Sora said with a determined smile on his face. "Alright, this is good. We can do this."


Team Bakugo was quick to learn what Monoma's Quirk was. Copy: the ability to copy the Quirk of someone he touches.

And it annoyed Bakugo with every fiber of his being, with his Quirk and Kirishima's Quirk being used against them as they tried to get their points back, not to mention being blocked by a shield of solid air.

Luckily for Team Bakugo, their leader is a relentless one and pounded on the shield until it broke and he was able to get his points back.

{Team Ranger has managed to fend off Team Todoroki while confined to a small space! It's still anyone's game though ladies and gentlemen as no team is wasting any second they still have left!"}

The crowed roared in response as Bakugo quickly looked towards the ice wall nearby. "Now! We're going after those Spandex Extras for getting in my way earlier!" 


Meanwhile, Team Todoroki was also having a tough time trying to get in close and was put on the defensive. Whenever Todoroki's horses tried to go forward, the Rangers would fight back and keep them from passing. "You shall not pass!" Kiba yelled to Team Todoroki as the Yellow Ranger prepared to block Todoroki and his team from going forward.

 Todoroki clicked his tongue in frustration. This was going nowhere fast. 'Damn. It's like they have a counter for everything we throw at them. Fukukado and Hado both on defensive. From this position, if I try and freeze them, Ukashi or Suzuni would retaliate with those abilites of theirs. And I can't get a clear shot at his team, because Mason can absorb Kaminari's electricity, so I can't even take them out. There's not much time left.'

Todoroki narrowed his eyes harshly as the Sora, who held a confident smirk on his face. 'They really are they biggest obstacles here. Damn them!'

"Everyone." Suddenly, Iida spoke up, getting everyones attention on him. "We have less than 60 seconds. I'm gonna do something that'll make me useless to you. But it's worth it."

"What are you gonna do?" Todoroki asked, willing to try anything if it'll give them the chance to take the headband from Sora.

Iida didn't answer, and instead got into the optimal position he would need to be in order to make this work. "Make sure you get that headband." Iida said as his team heard his engines revving up. And they could tell, it was gonna be something big. "Brace yourselves. Hold on tight!"

Everyone from Todoroki's team watched as Iida's engine released intense blue flames, powering up to a level none of them have seen before. "Torque Over..."

"Sora, hold onto me!" Ayumi told her teammate/leader, noticing Iida's plan as she threw her arms around Sora.

"Right!" Sora responded, bringing up his hands to hold onto Ayumi's arms tightly.

"Reciproburst!"

Iida's engines jacked up to incredible speeds in an instant as Team Todoroki sped up to and pass Team Ranger in a flash. While it didn't appear to be as fast as the rate of the Rangers' instantaneous speed-up, it was pretty damn quick as Kaminari's lips were sent jabbering against his face due to the pressure of the wind plowing against his face.

Right as Iida activated this move, the moment that they were about to pass Team Ranger, Todoroki reached out to grab Sora's headband the moment that he let his arm out to do so...only for the Rangers to warp out of reach and reappear in Team's Todorki's previous spot. And it was for an instant, because right afterwards, Iida managed to put off quite the distance between their groups from within their icy barricade.

{"W-WHAT?! What happened?! That was fast! So FAST!"} Present Mic was befuddled from the feat that Iida performed. {"Iida, come on! If you could accelerate that fast to begin with, then you should've shown us in the preliminary round!"}

'Damn it. They teleported.' Todoroki thought before looking down at Iida as he panted heavily from performing this super maneuver. "Iida, was that just now?"

"B-by... By forcing the torque and rotations in my engines to their absolute max, I can create an intense and explosive power of speed. It lasts around 10 seconds, but after it's done, the recoil that comes afterwards causes my engines to stall for a little bit..." Iida explained through intakes of air. "It's a Super Move that I hadn't told anyone else in the class yet." He grimaced as he turned to the Rangers, who looked back at them. "...However, I didn't anticipate Ukashi's team to avoid it. It seems that I have more rivals to surpass besides Midoriya."

Reina whistled in respect. "Damn, who knew Specs was hiding such an ace up his sleeve?"

"I know, right?" Kiba agreed with wide eyes. "That was awesome!"

"With less than a minute left, I hightly doubt you'll be able to take our headband." Cyrus said, looking somewhat impressed at Team Todoroki. "Still, it was a decent effort."

The teams were now in a standoff once more as Todoroki's anger seemed to be growing from the failed attempt to steal the headband. "This isn't over yet!" He growled, holding up an arm. "Forward, now!"

As expected, Todoroki didn't give up as his team makes one final attempt to steal the five-million points.

"Here they come!" Ayumi spoke up.

"Then, let's meet up halfway!" Sora smirked, pointing forward. "Onward!"

The team charged full force, ready to to counter the attack. As they moved closer, Sora surrounded his arm in red energy of the Tiger Spirit. While it wasn't full power, it was certainly higher than what he was currently putting out. This feeling again placed Todoroki into shock once more as he instinctively raised his left arm and began to spew flames.

Sora swiped his hand at Todoroki's, making it redirect away from his headband as the fire went out, which finally caught the half-cold/half-hot boy's attention as his face contorted into shock and horror.

BOOM!

"AAAH!!" Explosions were heard as Bakugo's team arrived on the scene. The ash blond used his Quirk to once again launch himself off his team and towards Teams Ranger and Todoroki.

"Spandex Bastards!" Bakugo yelled as he prepared an explosion in his hand.

And right as he came close to them...

"TIME'S UP!"

A giant buzz was heard. The clock hit zero. Bakugo fell to the ground on his face. The crowd cheered on as the 2nd round came to an end.

{"And with that, the second round is officially over!"} Present Mic anounnced.

"Bakugo!" Sero exclaimed as he, Kirishima, and Mina ran over to him. The ash blonde was still on the ground.

"Are you okay, man?" Kirishima asked worriedly. But their response was Bakugo growling out loud in anger and banging his fist on the ground.

Todoroki jumped down from his team, also frustrated that he let his fire powers come out by one of his 'rivals'. "Damnit."

"That was interesting to say the least." Cyrus stretched a little as Sora took off his headband. 

"No doubt all that training we did really paid off." Reina agreed, rolling her neck.

{"Alright everyone... That's the end of this round; the Cavalry Battle!"} Present Mic announced as the crowd responded with cheers immediately afterwards. {"Now then, let's take a look at our placements right away! The top four teams will advance to the next rounds!"}

{"—In FIRST place: Oh wow, look at this! Like with the Obstacle Course, we have a tie! The teams tied with five million each are Team Ranger and Team Midoriya!"}

"WE DID IT!" Ayumi jumped as high as she could and cheered as loudly as she could, before landing back down and pulling all her friends into a group hug.

"HECK YEAH!" Sora exclaimed with a big smile, raising up a fist. Sora looked over at where Izuku's team was and saw him burst into tears, shooting up like a geyser. Ochaco smiled and patted Dark Shadow's head as he blushed, Mei was too busy working on her gadget, and Tokoyami gave a small smile.


"Alright! Go, go Power Rangers! WHOO!" Nejire cheered.

"Seriously, that was awesome!" Mirio praised.

Tamaki said nothing as he gave a single nod, silently acknowledging their victory.


{"In second place: TEAM TODOROKI!"}

"...Phew... Even though we got second place, I felt like we were skating on thin ice." Momo sighed in relief. "Fortunately, we got a good placement."

"...I'm sorry!" Iida tried to apologize as he bowed. "I caused everyone trouble with my sudden stunt move! I let everyone down, didn't I?"

"N-No! I'm not trying to blame anyone, that's not true." The Creation girl tried to plead with him. "There was just a slight change of plan. I'm sure we would've had it if things were different."

"Yeah, no sweat, man!" Kaminari agreed, while giving a thumbs up.

"KAMINARI!" Jiro growled as she began to chase after the blond. Kaminari reacted with shock instinctively as he began to run away.

Todoroki, however, glared at the Rangers, before turning to his left hand. Despite his determination to never use it in battle, but as soon as he was overwhelmed, he broke his own promise. He clenched his fist in anger. "At this rate, he'll win. And I'll end up exactly who he wants me to be." He whispered to himself.

{"In third place: TEAM BAKUGO!"}

"Aw, we were so close to first place!" Mina complained, shaking her hands right to left.

"Yeah sure, but we're moving on, so it's no big deal." Sero said with his trademark grin.

Kirishima sweatdropped as he looked at Bakugo, who was still on the ground. "I don't think our leader would agree with you. Like at all."

"I lost to them...again? I lost again...GAAAHHHHHH!" Bakugo yelled profusely in rage.

{"And in fourth place is Team Tetsu-Wait, WHAT!? It's Team Shinso?! When did they come back from dead?!"} Present Mic exclaimed in shock with the crowd also confused too. Even his own team looked confused as to where they were. But the purple-haired student walked away with a smug smirk plastered on his face. {"These four teams will advance on to the final round!"}

"Cyrus." He felt someone touching his shoulder.

"Huh!" He blinked and turned around, seeing it was Momo. "Oh hey, Momo. What's up?"

 "I wanted to congratulate you for making it to the finals." Momo said with a smile.

"Thanks. Same to you." Cyrus smiled softly as he looked at the girl. "And no hard feelings, this is a competition after all. After all that's happened, we're good."

 Momo smiled, feeling relief to know nothing has changed between them.

"Kibi!" Mina quickly ran over to the Yellow Ranger and tackled into him, nearly knocking Kiba over as she brought him into a bone-crushing hug. "You were awesome!" She squealed with glee and joy.

Kiba blinked from the hug, but grinned brightly at the pink girl. "Heh, right back at ya, Mimi!"

"Hey guys!" Kirishima approached the Rangers as he grinned at them. "Nice job out there! You guys were awesome!"

Reina smirked. "Did you expect anything less?" She then playfully hit the redhead on the shoulder. "And you were pretty good out there yourself, Red."

"Heh!"

{Intermission time, ladies and gentlemen! A one-hour break! Now's a good time to do what you need to do and get what you need to get! Say, Eraser, wanna grab a bite?}

{I'm gonna take a nap...}

When lunch break was announced, everyone was congratulating each other for making it to the finals. Even if they were opponents, it was good sportsmanship to walk away on good terms.

"Hey, why don't we all eat and celebrate?" Cyrus offered, getting everyone's attention.

"Oh yes! Because I'm starving!" Kiba proclaimed.

"Me too!" Mina whined.

"I've worked up something of an appetite myself." Momo said, right before her own stomach growled, rather loudly, much to her embarrassment as she blushed while everyone else looked towards her in either surprised or amused expressions.

"Well, let's head to the cafeteria." Sora revealed with a smile. "We can ask Izuku and the others to meet up with us there."

He then noticed Todoroki approaching him. The Red Ranger gave him a friendly smile and held out his hand for a handshake. Sora didn't want there to be any more bad blood between them.

"Good game, man." He said as he waited to shake hands with Todoroki. "You were pretty cool out there."

However, Todoroki's right hand didn't grab Sora's hand but gripped his shoulder. Sora blinked, taken aback by the coldness coming from his opponent's hand. Todoroki glared into Sora's eyes, now looking more angered than during the battle. Everyone around them saw this and felt the air get tense, even Bakugo after he stopped yelling in anger. Half of them were expecting Sora to tell the half-and-half boy to let him go, or for a fight to break out.

Todoroki continued to stare coldly glare at Sora, not letting go of him.

"We need to talk."

To Be Continued...

 

 

Notes:

And now the Cavalry Battle is finished. Unlike the original story, Sora caused Todoroki to use his flames instead of Izuku. And also, he kept his points unlike in canon and Iida will see the Rangers as even greater rivals, thanks to what had happened back there. Also, if anyone questions why I chose to keep the Rangers together, they weren't going to work with Bakugo and vice versa, so there's that. Shoto would also not really want to work with them, seeing them as obstacles he needs to beat. Tenya(Who got copped out on the first round and deserved better), Ochako(who needs to fight Bakugo), Shinso(who needs to fight Izuku and vice versa) and Momo(who needs to fight Tokoyami) get development in the tournament and I don't want to get rid of that development. I'm not replacing class 1-B students, since they need the limelight. So I plan to add Monama's team to replace Reina, Ayumi, Cyrus and Kiba...just so he can be humbled.

Please be sure to favorite and follow if you like the story, and also review it. If you have any questions or discussions you'd have for me, then please in a review or a PM my profile.

Thank you for reading, may God bless you, and have a wonderful day.

"Alright, you brought me here. So now what?" Sora asked, after a long uncomfortable period of silence.

After the cavalry battle ended, the students were taking a break to have lunch, but Todoroki pulled Sora aside, dragging him down a hallway to talk in private. However, the reason for wanting to talk was unknown, as neither of them said a thing for the past five minutes. Just Todoroki glaring at him from one side of the hallway, and Sora was glaring back at him with his arms crossed.

And even when Sora asked, the half-and-half boy didn't respond. Staring unwaveringly cold at him.

"Hey, if this is gonna take a long while, I say we should get something to eat. The cafeteria is gonna be busy." He suggested.

Again, no response. Sora knew that Todoroki was trying to intimidate him, but he wasn't budging. After years of standing up against bullies and other kids that picked on him and his friends, as well as villains, he wasn't easily afraid of other people trying to scare him. But Todoroki's cold intimidation was different, and it kind of unnerved him.

"I was overwhelmed." Todoroki finally spoke up. Sora was a little confused by what he said, but he let him continue. "And that made me break the promise I made to myself a long time ago."

The Red Ranger looked to Todoroki's left arm as it was in his pocket. "You're talking about your left side, right? I can only imagine the advantage it would have given you if you'd use it. So why didn't you?" He asked.

Todoroki brought out his left hand and raised it up to stare at it. "Iida, Kaminari, and Yaoyorozu...none of them felt it. At that moment I was the only one able to sense your true power. It reminded me of something at the USJ, when I experienced you and your friends you taking on that horse-man villain."

Sora's eyes narrowed. "I don't know how that is, but what's your point? If you've got something to say then say it."

"I'm saying that there's something about you five..." Todoroki uttered as he looked at his hand. "You seem close to the teachers, especially with Principal Nezu. Ever since you all appeared as the 'Power Rangers' many things have happened. Including the appearance of those new villains from the news a year ago. Back during the Quirk Test, you all claimed to be Quirkless...but then you showed off an arsenal of abilities, alongside those giant machines. There's no way someone who's Quirkless could do that."

The dark-haired teen's eyes narrowed when he heard that claim, but scowled again. 

"Ukashi, tell me...Just who are you?" Shoto eyed him coldly with a hint of suspicion.

"You're all rather close to the Principal." Todoroki said, getting several eyebrows raised. "Seems though he's taken a liking to all, considering what everything you've done."

"Where exactly are you going with this?" Cyrus questioned aloud.

"Simple. I'm vowing to beat the Power Rangers out of everyone." Todoroki stated frimly.

Sora clenched his jaw as he made a fist. "Is that what this is?" He spoke quietly, getting the other boy's attention. "An interrogation? You don't trust me, or all of our friends, or our teachers after all of that?"

"What?"

"Let me ask you something..." Sora continued on. "Even if the principal has taken a liking to us, it's not like we've asked for special treatment or anything. All that we asked for was permission to stop those guys that showed up with Igeron. Is that what this is about? You have a petty grudge against us like Bakugo?"

Shoto was quiet for a moment, before he lowered his eyes. "I can assure you it's nothing as small as that, but it's not like that at all is interesting wording. It suggests that there is something between all of you regardless." He said knowingly.

"Which I've never denied." Sora said, leaning against the wall.

Deciding to leave that subject alone, for now, Todoroki got to the reason he pulled him out here. "My father is the Hero Endeavor. You must have heard of him." 

The Rangers did know about him. Second-ranked only to All Might for a long time. He was a brutal Hero that resulted in all of the villains he's captured having severe burns, leading some to criticize some combat-focused Pros about some of the injuries they inflict on villains, but Endeavor got results during combat. 

"Which means you're aware he's the Number Two Hero." Shoto said, before opening his eyes to glare at Sora. "So if you have something with the principal...that means that I have even more reason to beat you. The same can be said to Midoriya, who's somehow connected to the Number One Hero, All Might, in some way."


Meanwhile, as he was walking down a flight of steps when lunch break was announced, Endeavor stopped when he heard the voice of the bane of his existence. "Yo!" All Might said in his Hero form. Standing at the top of the steps behind the Fire Hero. "Long time no see. Let's catch up, Endeavor."

The flames on Endeavor's body grew a little when he growled out. "All Might." He then turned to look over his shoulder at the Symbol of Peace. Glaring at him with hatred. He was a tall, sturdily-built man with a very muscular physique. He has short crimson hair, which he wears spiked up around his head, and sharp turquoise eyes. His beard and mustache appear to be made of fire, but when he voluntarily turns off the flames on his face, a slight amount of stubble shows around his jaw.

His Hero costume comprised of a tight, navy turquoise bodysuit, with flames streaming across his chest, upper torso, arms, and most prominently, his shoulders. He uses his flames as a makeshift mask around his eyes, and his tall boots appear to be either made of fire themselves or constantly left alight, as only their soles and laces are visible around the flames. He sports white bracers on his lower arms, styled in a cage pattern, and a blue belt with a pouch on either side.

"I haven't talked to you since that press conference 10 years ago." All Might replied with a friendly tone. "It's been a while. I saw you and figured I'd come to you and say hi."

Endeavor, however, was not a man for pleasantries and turned his head away. "Did you now? Well then, if that's all you wanted to do, we're done!" He then continued to march down the stairs. Growling under his breath. "Shouting like we're old friends. What a joke."

But All Might wasn't done just yet. With his hardy laugh, the Hero jumped into the air, twirled and backflipped, before landing in front of Endeavor at the bottom of the steps. He turned around to face the 2nd Hero. "Come on! Why the cold shoulder?" He asked, much to Endeavor's annoyance. "You should be thrilled. After all, you're son's doing very well out there, just using half of his power. You must be a great teacher."

The fact that Shoto didn't use his full potential and unleashed his fire side on the boy named Sora Ukashi already infuriated and annoyed Endeavor, but when his greatest rival bought it up, it felt like an even bigger insult. "Are you implying something?"

"No, I want to know your secrets. How do we train the next generation of heroes?"

Endeavor got defensive. "Do you really think I'd tell you anything I've taught the boy?" He aggressively questioned the blonde Hero, before continuing on his way down. "You're all flash and no brains as usual. Out of my way!" He pushed his burning shoulder into All Might's shoulder as he walked past the man.

All Might was a little taken aback by his outburst. He knew the Flame Hero didn't like him, but he didn't think it was this much. Time changes so quickly when you're the Symbol of Peace. "Okay."

However, Endeavor inexplicably stopped halfway down the next set of steps. "Let me assure you of one thing, All Might. Whatever it takes, that kid of mine will beat you someday." He said before his mouth contoured into a wicked grin. "I'll make sure of it. That's why I made him."

Shuddering, All Might looked at the redhead with a shocked expression. "You did what?!"

Endeavor then turned his head to look at All Might. Looking at him out of the corner of his eyes. Those eyes carried a look of anger, hatred, and almost insanity as red veins could be seen in them. "He's in a rebellious phase right now, but he will take your place! I'll make sure of it! And I'll prove he's superior to those 'Power Rangers'." Endeavor finished, then continued to walk away, but All Might once again leapt over him and stood in front of the flame hero.

"I heard you don't think to highly of the Power Rangers, but thanks to Young Ukashi and his team, the city was saved from a terrible fate, a fate that was caused by new villains." All Might said. "Why is it that you despise the rangers? They've saved countless lives without..." he began, only making Endeavor's flames surge.

"They think this is all a game!" the flame hero bellowed. "They claim to be protecting the people, but they are just playing heroes and making us look like nothing more than the characters from old comic books. We are real heroes. They are just children who shouldn't even be attending UA. I've already filed a complaint with the Safety Commission, and they will be removed from UA, mark my words All Might. The days of the rangers are over."

"Let me ask you something, Endeavor. Would you be able to destroy a monster the size of a building? Put out fires with your quirk?" All Might questioned. "Young Ukashi and the rest of the rangers are the only ones who can take on this new threat. Besides, if anything, they have proven they are heroes and are not interested in becoming famous. The work of true heroes."

The two heroes glared at each other, as if a spark of lighting was flying from the others eyes before they left without another word.


"My old man is ambitious." Todoroki told Sora, looking away to the right. "He aims for the top. He used his power to make a name for himself as a Hero, but he was never able to All Might. So the Symbol of Peace is living proof of his failure. He's still at it, though. Trying to take down All Might...One way or another."

Sora's face had taken on a serious expression as he paid close attention to Todoroki. "I still don't understand. Why tell me all of this?" He asked. "What is this all about?"

"Have you ever heard of Quirk Marriage's?"

The dark-haired teenager blinked, almost surprised to hear that subject. "Kind of. They didn't really go over them when I was in middle school." He stated with a thoughtful look.

"They became a real problem during the second and third generation after Quirks started appearing." Todoroki explained. "Strong individuals would choose a partner for the express purpose of creating powerful children. Many people were forced into relationships. They were simply viewed as old-fashioned arranged marriages, but clearly it was unethical. My father has not only a rich history of accomplishments but plenty of money to throw at his problems. He bought my mother's relatives to get his hands on her ice Quirk."

Sora gasped. "You...You were the result of that marriage, weren't you? And now he's racing you to surpass All Might. Seeing you as nothing but a means to an end." He concluded, trying to keep his anger in his body. But it was difficult. The thought of anyone, even a Hero, doing such a thing was vile. Giving birth to a child and to use them for petty reasons was awful.

Todoroki nodded. "It's so annoying. I refuse to be a tool for that scumbag." He growled. "In every memory of my mother, I only see her crying." He could almost see her. Her white hair facing him as he stood behind her, as she sobbed. He reached out his left hand, only to bring it up to cover the left side of his face. Where his large scar was burned on his skin, leaving its emotional mark on his life. "I remembered she called my left side unbearable before she poured boiling water on my face." He said depressingly, as the painful and traumatic memory came back into his head.

Sora gasped in horror, not wanting to believe what he was just told. To think that his own mother, who was likely abused to the point of mental instability, would even do that her own son was an ugly image. It just made him forunate that he had a wonderful person like Serena as his mother. But even if she loved her son, no mother should have to do something so horrible to their own child. Not even one at such a young and innocent age.

"...I..wow." He simply said, unable to find better words.

"The reason I picked a fight with your team and Midoriya was to show my old man what I was capable of doing without having to rely on his damn fire Quirk." Todoroki said, removing his hand from his face and giving Sora a cold, dark glare that contained nothing but hatred for his father. "I'll show him that I reject his power and that I can take first place without using it."

Unbeknownst to them was that Bakugo was leaning against the wall behind them in an intersecting hallway. Listening to every word of their conversation.

Still a little unerved after seeing that glare and the story he's been told, Sora could only remain silent. 'The life that he's led was so different from mine. Reina, Cyrus, Kiba, Ayumi... we were all born with nothing. Looked down upon because we were Quirkless. No powers to call our own before we met Katrina and became Power Rangers.'

He looked over at Todoroki, who was quiet.

'On the other hand, he was born with everything. He had two power Quirks when he was born. His dad was a Pro Hero, who did everything to make his ambitions come true, even using his own son as a tool. His life sounds so terrifying. It's odd that we're aiming for the same thing despite different childhoods. Despite different reasons.'

With saying all he wanted to say, Todoroki turned and began to walk away. "It's obvious you're connected to the principal, even if it has something to do with you being 'Power Rangers'." He said with his hands in his pockets. "Just know that no matter how furiously you come at me, regardless of how much of your power you use, I will defeat you using my right side. I can assure you of that."

Sora watched him for a moment. In a way, they were both like comic book heroes. Someone with a tragic backstory trying to rise above it.

Gritting his teeth a little, Sora walked out of the hallway into the outside. He went to catch up with him, before stopping a few feet behind Todoroki. "Wait!"

Todoroki stopped walking but didn't turn around to look at him.

"I can't imagine the pain you've gone through, and I can't imagine what you're feeling right now. When my friends and I received this power, it came out of nowhere..." Sora paused and didn't go any further, looking at his left arm where his HF morpher gleamed. "A bunch of teenagers chose to become something more than they were. Even though I was appointed the leader of my team, I've had help in the past, and continue having it here. All those that have helped me, I owe so much for them. I want to do that by becoming a Hero like the ones who came before me." His mind thought of the past Rangers and how Katrina came into his friends' lives to make them Rangers. "A hero that saves those in trouble, even if their Quirkless." He then took a deep breath and looked up at Todoroki, who turned his head to look at the Red Ranger. "You declared war on me earlier, so if you think a sad story is going to make me go easier on you, well sorry to disappoint you. I'm not backing down, and I'll never give up. Like I said, I'm declaring war right back at you! I will beat you, and I will win the Sports Festival!"

The half fire-half cold Quirk user stood there and stared at Sora for a moment. He didn't say anything as he turned and walked away. Leaving Sora where he stood alone. The Red Ranger sighed and made his way to go eat. Bakugo, who was still undetected, turned and walked away too.

Seemingly unknown to them, a certain green-haired hid behind the corner, fist pressed to his chest.


All the students gathered around at the center of the stadium as they had did in the events prior. Though Class 1-A had been gathered around, almost half of the class had been missing. The reason being because the girls were currently missing; Reina and Ayumi included. This of course confused Sora, Cyrus, and Kiba.

"I wonder where the girls could be?" Izuku wondered as he looked to Kiba.

Kiba had said with a shrug, "Beats me, man."

Sora looked through the crowd as he tried to find them. "Weird. Did something happen?"

They soon heard Hizashi over the PA, {"Now that lunch is over, it's finally time to reveal our last game! But before that--There's good news for all who didn't make it in the finals!"}

"I wonder what he means by that?" Cyrus blinked as he looked at the commentator's seat.

{"This may be a competition for future Heroes, but this is also just a Sports Festival! So, we've prepared recreational games for everyone else to enjoy as well! See, we even brought cheerleaders from America to spice things up!"}

"Wait, what?" Now that got Sora's attention.

Most of the boys in the group saw cheerleaders giving a one of a kind performance. Most of them couldn't help but have a nosebleed; Even Kiba gave a wolf whistle at the sight of them.

"Woah, Mama!" He shouted.

"Hey, we actually got cheerleaders!" Kirishima said with a surprised look. "And from America too?"

"Woah, didn't really expect them to be that pretty." Sero admitted. "Right, Ukashi?"

"Uh, yeah..." Sora muttered. But as he actually took a look at them, his curious face took a downturn.

'...They all have the same face! A-And those weird eyes and pointed noses!' His eye twitched. 'What the hell is this, Present Mic?!'

{"...Huh?"} Present Mic and Aizawa, as well as most of the other students looked over at a group of girls that were the last to come out.

 {"...What're those girls doing?"}

"Hm? AAAH!" Cyrus took a peek at the rising commotion, only for his jaw to drop slightly at what he saw.

Class 1-A had their jaws dropped to the floor as well as most of the students on the playfield when they saw a familiar group within the crowd. It had been Class 1-A's girls, wearing cheerleading outfits. Each of them was wearing an orange and white uniform that really showed off their curvaceous figures.

 Each of them was wearing an orange and white uniform that really showed off their curvaceous figures

For some reason, all the girls, except Ayumi and Reina, had a deadpan look on their faces as they stood there with pom poms in their hands

For some reason, all the girls, except Ayumi and Reina, had a deadpan look on their faces as they stood there with pom poms in their hands. The former, on the other hand, had a huge smile on her face as she held up her pom-pom excitedly. While the latter had a victorious smirk on her face as she carried a beaten and battered Mineta and Kaminari.

{"Looks like Class 1-A's going full-on fan service!"}

Cyrus was speechless as he had never seen Reina or Ayumi in that kind of outfit, though his gaze fell mostly on Momo; Sora on the other hand had his mouth wide open upon seeing Ayumi; and Kiba suddenly had a nosebleed as he stared at Mina.

"Holy..."

"Shit..." 

"Exclamation mark!"

As for Kirishima... as soon as he laid eyes on Reina, he was beyond surprised because he DEFINITELY wasn't expecting to see her in that kind of outfit. 'Whoa...' Kirishima thought as a slight blush was growing on his face.

Ayumi looked over at the boys and waved at them. "Hey guys!"

The boys walked over with their faces still flustered as Sora was the first to speak. "So, uhh...w-what's with the outfits?"

"And why are those two beaten...?" Cyrus questioned, gesturing to Mineta and Kaminari.

"Well..."


-(flashback)-

"Suzuni, Fukukado, there you two are!" Ochako said, waving a pom-pom at them.

"What's going on?" Ayumi asked when she and Reina got closer to the girls.

"You two need to hurry and get dressed!" Mina insisted.

Momo hands the duo the same uniforms. "Here, I've also made you two some outfits."

"For what?" Reina asked, raising an eyebrow

"Some cheerleading competition, I think," Hagakure answered, enjoying her outfit as she danced around.

Ayumi's eyes lit up at this. "Wait, really!?"

"I've never heard of it," Reina said with a shake of her head. "Who told you guys that?" 

"Kaminari and...Mineta..." Momo realized slowly.

"Damn it!" Jiro exclaimed, flushing from anger and embarrassment.

"I can't believe that I was tricked..." Momo lamented. "I should've known."

"Do...we have time to change?" Ochaco wondered, suddenly insecure.

"Wait." Ayumi spoke, getting everyone's attention. "We still have a little bit of time left before the finals start, and I love these uniforms so..." Ayumi started to say excitedly without a care in the world. "How about we just wear them?"

"Are you crazy?!" Jiro shouted in disbelief.

"She's right!" Hagakure agreed, as she waved her pom poms around. "It could be fun!"

"You too!?"

Ayumi turned to look at Reina with a smile. "You'll wear it too, right Rei?"

"W-What? No way in hell!" Reina huffed and looked away, she wouldn't be caught dead in that thing.

"Come on, pleasssee?" Ayumi pleaded as she stared at her friend with puppy dog eyes.

"Guh...!" Reina flinched as she tried to resist her friend's pleading face. "Aah! Aah! With the face and the eyes, and the...Aah! Okay fine, I'll wear the damn thing, just this once!"

"Yes!"

"But on ONE condition..." Reina spoke, holding up a finger. "Where are those two asshats?"


-(Present)-

"...And that's what happened." Ayumi finished explaining as Reina could be seen grabbing Mineta by his feet and hammering him into Kaminari's head in the background.

The Vice Representative dropped to her knees with a defeated sigh. "I still can't believe I fell for that little pervert's stupid scheme." Momo whimpered as Ochaco patted her on the back. "I even used my Quirk to make these outfits..."

"Ugh! I hate those guys!" Jiro yelled in frustration and threw her pom poms on the ground. "I'm glad Fukukado kicked their asses!"

"Suzuni seems really into this." Tsuyu said, gesturing to the Pink Ranger.

"Honestly, this doesn't really bother me." Ayumi smiled, shaking her pom-poms. "I've always wanted to be a cheerleader anyway, it looks fun!"

Cyrus then walked up to Momo while rubbing his head. "If it makes you feel any better, it doesn't look bad actually."

Momo flushed red as she turned to hide her red face. "O-O-Oh! T-Thank you, Cyrus." She stammered.

"He's right!" Kiba agreed, before flashing a thumbs up to Mina. "Really showing that 'Team Spirit', Mimi!"

Mina's pink face went bright red from the sudden compliment, though she smiled through it. "Thanks, Kibi! I mean, I'm mad about being tricked, but I can definitely pull this look off!"

 "Speaking of which. What do you think, Sora? How do I look?" Ayumi asked, twirling around a bit.

"Yeah, how do we look?" Hagakure asked him eagerly.

Sora swallowed sharply as he loosens the collar on his U.A. gym uniform, blushing a bit red. "Uh, yeah. You both look really good. Great even."

This caused both girls to turn bright red, though due to Hagakure being invisible, it was hard to tell.

"Aww, thanks!" They said at the same time and looked at each other in surprise before they glared at each other. The intensity of their shared enmity manifests as crackling streams of lightning arced back and forth between their eyes as sparks flew.

{"Hope everyone enjoys the little side games! Once that's over, we're on to the final event!"} Present Mic announced as the jumbotron turned on to show a tournament chart on it with stars at the bottom

{"Hope everyone enjoys the little side games! Once that's over, we're on to the final event!"} Present Mic announced as the jumbotron turned on to show a tournament chart on it with stars at the bottom. {"Between the 16 members of the winning teams, we'll have a formal tournament! A series of one-on-one battles!"}

"Aww yeah, time for us to finally show what we're made of!" Kirishima beamed as he pumped his fists. Reina stopped beating on Mineta and Kaminari and looked at the screen. "I've watched these finals every year and now I'm actually in them! This is gonna be so awesome!"

"So wait." Mina said. "Is it always a tournament?"

"Actually, the finals are always a one-on-one competition, but they switch it up every time." Cyrus informed. 

"Oh yeah. I remember last year was a foam sword fighting match...which sounds awesome now that I say it out loud." Kiba grinned.

"Come closer and draw lots to see who you're up against!" Midnight told the students going into the finals, holding up a yellow box in her hands that was labeled 'Lots'. "Then enjoy the pleasure of the recreational games before we start. The 16 finalists have the option of participating in these activities or sitting out and preparing for battle. I'm sure you all want to conserve your stamina. I'll start with the first-place team-"

Midnight had suddenly been cut off when Ojiro raised his hand, making everyone turn to him. "Excuse me," He said as he did this. "...I'm withdrawing from the finals."

Everyone gasped at this, Class 1-A had been especially shocked at this.

"Oijiro, why?" Izuku asked.

"You worked so hard to get here." Ayumi added, "I thought you wanted to be recognized."

Sora couldn't help but add in his thoughts. "Yeah, man. This is your golden opportunity!"

"Ukashi is right." Tenya said, "This is a rare chance for Pros to see you for what you are."

"I know that." Oijiro said, "But... I barely remember anything from the cavalry battle until almost the very end. I think... It was that guys Quirk. "

"The work of someones Quirk?" Reinaa said before it had hit him, "Wait, if I remember correctly Oijiro was with..." He looked over and saw the student from General Education looking over in their direction, "... that guy." 

"I know this is a perfect opportunity for me." Oijiro said, "And it's foolish to waste it but... Everyone here competed to give it their all. I can't be up there with everyone without knowing what really happened."

Sora was surprised to hear this as she looked back over to Shinso. 'Just what in the world did he do to Ojiro that's got him so spooked?' She thought to herself.

"You're worrying about it too much!" Toru soon said. "You should make sure you produce results in the finals!"

"If you're going to say that, the I didn't do anything either." Mina said. "I was stuck on Sero's team, if you can believe it."

"Hey, that's harsh!" Sero yelled in an offended tone.

"That's not it..." Oijiro said, "... I'm talking about my pride here... I can't... Also..." He looked over to the girls, "... Why are you guys wearing cheerleader outfits?" 

All the girls paled, or in Ayumi's case, blushed in embarrassment as Reina looked away.

Another student soon stopped forward, "I'm Nirengeki Shoda from Class 1-B. I also want to withdraw for the same reason. Regardless of ability, don't you think it goes against the goal of this sports festival for those who didn't do anything to move onto the final round?"

Most of the class jumped when they saw Kirishima had tears coming out of his eyes as he had been crying.

"What is with these guys!?" The redhead said, "They're so manly!"

{"Well, this is an unusal turn of events..."} Present Mic said.

{"We'll have to see what Midnight has to say about this,"} Aizawa told him.

All were silent as the students waited for what Midnight would have to say about the two boys' requests. She looked at them for a moment in silence, before breaking that silence. "This kind of talk is incredibly naïve, my boys..." Midnight said, before swiping her whip through the air. "THAT TURNS ME ON! SHODA! OIJIRO! I ACCEPT YOUR WITHDRAWAL!"

'Did she just say it turns her own!?' Most of the crowd of students thought out of confusion. 

'Kinky.' Kiba simply thought.

"Fear not, Oijiro!" Aoyama said, placing a hand on Oiro's shoulder. "I'll do it for you!"

Before anyone else could get a chance to say anything, Cyrus suddenly raised his hand, getting everyone's attention. "Excuse me," Cyrus said, almost mirroring what Ojiro did and said. "I would like everyone to know that I, along with Ayumi Suzuni, Kiba Mason, and Reina Fukukado, would also like to withdraw from the finals."

"EHHH!?" Most of Class 1-A exclaimed in shock.

"B-But...why?" Ochaco asked them. "You guys placed first in the Cavalry Battle!"

 "It was part of Nezu's condition that I mentioned back when we were getting ready for the Festival." Ayumi replied.

"What condition?" Mina asked, looking at Kiba.

"That we would participate in the Festival until the end of the Cavalry Battle." The Yellow Ranger told her.

"Since Sora's team leader, he was chosen as the representative to advance forward," Reiina said. "We were basically helping him out." 

 "Is that alright with you, Ms. Midnight?" Sora asked, looking at the R-Rated Hero.

"No worries." Midnight replied."I was already well informed about the situation. Therefore, Sora Ukashi will be advancing to the second round as Representative of Team Ranger!" She announced as the crowd cheered. "If that should be the case, we'll have to move up four more people to fill those spots."

"I would be happy to participate, Midnight!" Monoma said boisterously.

"Go right ahead!"

"Oh, speaking of that..." Itsuka raised her hand, knowing that her team was coming into cue. "We were thinking that instead of us being the first to fill in the first three slots, we'd give those to a team that actually fought to the end, instead of us who barely did anything."

"Yep!" Kinoko nodded. "It should be Team Tetsutetsu!"

"Definitely." Setsuna also nodded. "Send them up first!"

"Kendo...!" Tetsutetsu's eyes widened. "You...?"

"Come on, man. This isn't collusion or anything. It just makes sense for those who actually tried." Itsuka gave the grey-haired teen a thumbs up.

"K-K-Kendooo...!" Tetsutetsu was about to go teary eyed again. "WE WON'T LET YOU DOWN!"

Midnight and everyone else smiles at Team Itsuka's decision. "So, it's decided! The first three slots will go to Team Tetsutetsu and Monama... However, we still have two more to fill in!"

"So, what then?" Sora asked.

"Well... I was thinking that the last members can be from Team Itsuka!" Midnight decided.

"Eh? But we already decided that we... Huh? What're you girls doing?" Itsuka tried to protest, but the rest of her teammates all grinned as they pushed her forward.

"Come on girl, quit being so tense! We all know you wanna try at it too." Setsuna snickered. "And I'll even join you!"

"Go for it!" Reiko smiled.

"...A-Alright then..." Itsuka blushed a little, covering her face with her hands.

"Then it's decided! The members of Team Tetsutetsu, Monama and Team Kendo have moved up to the top twenty!"

{"Now then, to the main event selection!"} Present Mic voiced out. {"Midnight, if you'd please!"}

"Of course!" Midnight grinned back as she snapped her whip, carrying the box of lots with her. "After going through a randomization process of these new participants from our staff, this the result of the drawing!"

Pressing a button on her remote again, the screen flickered as all twenty placements were filled with names, earning the change a massive reaction from the crowd.

1. Izuku Midoriya VS Hitoshi Shinso

2. Shoto Todoroki VS Hanta Sero

3. Sora Ukashi vs Neito Monama

4. Mei Hatsume VS Tenya Iida

To Be Continued...


Notes:

So, how'd you think of this chapter?

As you can see, I've decided to change the number of fighters in the tournament from 16 to 20, as to include personal match ups that wouldn't have been able otherwise.

I suppose that the first 16 canon fighters will be doing their usual duke outs, but for the remaining 8, how should these first matches go? I've already planned for Sora and Monoma to fight. Let me know what match ups do you think would be interesting!

I know some people might not like the other four Ranger dropping out, but the reason it for an upcoming attack. Look forward to that.

Thank you very much for reading. "Power Rangers: Heroes Force" will return. Please be sure to favorite and follow if you like the story, and also review it. If you have any questions or discussions you'd have for me, then please in a review or a PM my profile.

Thank you for reading, may God bless you, and have a wonderful day.

1. Izuku Midoriya VS Hitoshi Shinso

2. Shoto Todoroki VS Hanta Sero

3. Sora Ukashi vs Neito Monama

4. Mei Hatsume VS Tenya Iida

5. Denki Kaminari VS Ibara Shiozaki

6. Setsuna Tokage VS Kendo Itsuka

7. Fumikage Tokoyami VS Momo Yaoyorozu

8. Yuga Ayoma VS Mina Ashido

9. Eijiro Kirishima VS Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu

10. Katsuki Bakugo VS Ochaco Uraraka

"SERIOUSLY!?" Both Kirishima and Tetsutetsu yelled in unison. "HOW DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING!?"

"I'll give it my all." Tokoyami stated.

"Good." Momo remarked. "That's all that I ask of you."

"Mon cheri, I'm afraid it's the end of the road for you." Aoyama stated.

"I can't wait to melt your butt." Ashido taunted.

"Well, it looks like we're fighting a lot sooner than expected, Class Rep." Setsuna pointed out.

"Seems so. I'm not gonna go easy on you." Kendo smirked in return.

"Monoma..." Sora muttered aloud.

"He's from Class 1-B and the one that stole Bakugo's points earlier." Cyrus recalled.

"Ah, the one who gaslighted him!" Kiba snickered.

"Well, this is going to be interesting. Just my luck..." The Rangers turned around to see Monoma walking up to them. "Well, here's to a good fight, Ukashi?"

"...Uh, yeah," Sora answered. "Same here."

Monoma brought his hand out to exchange a handshake with him, but when Sora tried to bring his hand out...

The image of the Red Lion Wild Zord appeared within his mind and let out a roar.

The  mighty sound echoed in Sora's mind, slightly startling him before he reluctantly took his hand back. "Sorry, maybe another time for a handshake?" 

Monoma's lips twitched as he failed to shake the boy's hand, only merely shrugging his shoulders as he walked away. "Very well then."

Reina looked at Sora with a raised eyebrow. "What was that about?"

Sora placed a hand on his heart. "Red Lion told me not to shake his hand, because he felt that Monoma had ulterior motives." He told them.

"Really?" Ayumi blinked as she others glanced at Monoma's back. 

Cyrus hummed in thought. "I think it may have something to do with his Quirk and how he used it against Bakugo during the Cavalry Battle."

"Wait, if that's true, then can his Quirk copy our Ranger powers?" Kiba questioned with a blink.

"I'm not sure."

"Uraraka?" Bakugo asked. "Who the hell's that?" Ochaco was terrified of who she was going against.

"Hey legs, you're Iida, right?" Hatsume grinned as she walked up to Iida.

"Correct. I'm Tenya Iida." Iida said.

"That's perfect! I have something nice for you!"

{"Alright, now that the placements are done and set for the later part of this day, let's leave that alone for a moment for a momentary interlude!"} Present Mic announced as the screens began to shift, this time presenting the word "Recreation". {"Let's have fun with the Recreational events!"}

"Thank you!" Midnight yelled as she gripped her microphone. "First up, we have a Scavenger Hunt! HIT IT, LADIES!"

"YAHHOOO!" Ayumi and Hagakure exclaimed loudly, jumping in the air and began to perform a calling with the other girls as fireworks were launched into the sky, exploding into bright lights as they released cards that contained words on the back side.

Those that didn't get into the finals started playing the recreational games. In the meantime, while they were told to have fun, the final contestants couldn't relax.

They wanted to be prepared for the finals.

Some tried to rest their bodies, like Tokoyami, who was sitting up high in a tree. There were those that prepared for the fight ahead of them, just like how Iida was drinking energy drinks. A lot of them. Or try to hype themselves up, for example, Bakugo who was...staring at a wall? And then there were those that tried to calm their nerves. Todoroki did this by focusing on the fight, while Ochaco and Momo were still doing cheerleading, even though one was more into it than the other.


Sports Festival Stadium - Hallways

After all was said and done, the students soon began to head to the bleachers they were assigned to while the HF Rangers stood in an empty hallway.

"Looks like they're about to start the matches." Cyrus spoke outloud.

"Seems so." Ayumi nodded.

"Shame that we couldn't join." Reina sighed, rolling her arm around. "I would've loved to kick a few asses, especially Bakugo and Todoroki."

"Right, he did state that he'll beat us." Cyrus recalled the latter's declaration.

Kiba grinned in response. "Well, look on the bright side. They'll have to get pass Cap first."

 However, Ayumi then noticed the expression upon the Red Ranger's face. "What is it, Sora?" she questioned with a worried look on her face.

"Actually, I had a talk with Todoroki earlier." he replied, getting his team's attention.

"You mean that little incident after the Cavalry Battle?" Reina asked, getting a nod in return.

"Yeah." He quietly, but quickly, explained what he learned before lunch about the Half-Cold, Half-Hot Quirk user's upbringing. It was... hard. The Rangers looked shocked with each thing Sor recalled from his talk with Todoroki.

"Oh my god..." Ayumi gasped, covering her mouth in shock.

"I already didn't like Endeavour, but to think he was THAT big of an asshole..." Reina muttered, running a hand through her hair.

"I thought Quirk Marriages like that were outlawed..." Cyrus admitted.

"Wow..." Kiba uttered afterwards. "I mean... I know Todoroki's all hyper-focused on beating you, but..." 

"Yeah..." Sora confessed. "Either way, I already echoed Todoroki's declaration of war," he confirmed, "No matter his circumstances, I'll do what I can to beat him." he vowed firmly.

"Sora..." the Pink Ranger uttered out.

{"Thank you, Cementoss!"} Present Mic announced, halting the conversation. {"HEY SPORTS FANS, ARE YOU READY?!"} The crowd was going nuts. {"After all the action you've already witnessed, it's time for the real battles to begin! Can you feel the excitement!? Our competitors are on their own now. Sometimes Heroes have only themselves to rely on. Heart, Skill, Strength, Wisdom, Courage! They'll have to use all of these things to rise to the top!"}

"Well, this is it." Sora said, looking back at his friends "We better get our seats before we miss the action." 

"Right, let's go!" Reina agreed, leading the team down the corridor.

XXXXXXXXX

{"The finals that you've all been waiting for are finally about to start!"} Present Mic announced as the commentator's room appeared on the monitors. {"So, let's introduce our contestants! Match number one—"}

{"Ha! Even though he's done so well so far, what's with that goofy look on his face! From the Hero Course— Midoriya Izuku !"}

{"VERSUS—"}

{"Sorry to say, but he hasn't really done anything to stand out yet! From the General Studies— Shinso Hitoshi !"}

As the flames of the stadium platform flared up, the two students began to walk out from their respective entrances. Shinso had a calm demeanor on his person, while Midoriya still looked like a small push could topple him over. At least he wasn't as bad as before though!

"Go for it, Deku!"  Ochaco cheered from the stands.

"Yes, you've got this, Midoriya!" Iida yelled, throwing his own encouragement. The duo were sitting with their classmates in a viewing section of the stadium. Class B's was right next to theirs.

It was at that moment, the Rangers made it to the viewing area. "We're here! What'd I miss?" Kiba asked, getting everyone's attention.

"Oh, Kibi!" Mina greeted happily.

"Not much, really." Sero replied. "Present Mic just brought out both Midoriya and Shinso, so you made it."

"Oh, that's good to hear." Cyrus sighed in relief. 

"Well, hurry up and grab your seats, guys!" Hagakure exclaimed, waving around. "The match is gonna start!"

With that, the HF team moved to take their seats: Kiba sat with Mina, Cyrus with Momo, Reina with Kirishima, while Sora and Ayumi sat in the front with Tenya and Ochaco.

{"So, the rules are simple! Force your opponent out of bounds, or immobilize them! You can also win by making your opponent say, "I give up!" as well!"} Present Mic explained the rules long enough for Izuku and Shinso to enter the ring. {"Now, bring on the injuries, because we've got our very own Recovery Girl waiting on standby! Put aside your morals and ethics, but of course, anything life-threatening is crap! That ain't allowed! Heroes should only use their fists to apprehend Villains!"} He also added as Cementoss took his seat.

"And so, I'll be here to make sure that things don't go too far." He reassured the crowd.

The Rangers watched as both boys faced off. They were actually curious about this fight and wondered how it was going to play out.

"So, he's apparently up against the guy from General Studies who declared war on our class." Sora noted.

"This should be an interesting match, considering we don't know what his Quirk is..." Ayumi spoke.


Izuku stood firm, taking in deep breaths to mentally prepare himself.

"You know, that monkey was going off about his pride earlier," He looked at Shinso, who was smirking. "but I really think he wasted his chance..." 

'What...? Is he talking about Ojiro?' Izuku thought inwardly, glancing over to said boy. He then curled his fingers into a tight fist.

"Oh shit..." Reina mumbled out while listening thanks to the Enhanced Hearing of Will Aston, the Black Operation Overdrive Ranger.

"What's wrong, Fukukado?" Tsuyu asked of the Black/Green Ranger.

"Either the guy down there's an idiot, or he actually wants String Bean to snap..." she noted in reply, gesturing to the arena.

"And... begin!" Midnight exclaimed as she swung down her flail.

Izuku's face changed to that of fury at Shinso's comments and began to move forward.

"What did you say?!" Izuku exclaimed.

Then, he stopped moving and his expression was blank. He looked like a puppet dangling from invisible strings. 

At the sight of Izuku's blank stare, Shinso's smirk grew.


{"Huh!?"} Mic questioned. {"What's with these two? This is the first match! It should start off with a bang! The fight has just begun, and Izuku Midoriya is...completely frozen! He's not moving a muscle! And what's with that look on his face? Could this be a quirk at work? Hitoshi Shinso seems to have Izuku Midoriya completely stunned."}

"Ahhh!" Ojiro said. "I warned him not to say anything!"

"What's happening?" Ayumi asked, looking worried about the boy. She wasn't the only one, as others were confused by why Izuku stopped.

"Come on Deku." Ochaco stood up, wondering what was going on with her friend.

"Why in the world isn't he moving?" Tenya pondered, very concerned about the situation.

"What are you doing, Freckles!? Knock his teeth out!" Kiba cheered in vain.

"Something's wrong..." Sora asked as he narrowed his eyes.

"Wait...?" Cyrus uttered as he gasped when he saw one noticeable detail. "His eyes are all white and blank!"

"I think the guy provoked him into lashing out..." Reina answered to get everyone's attention. "And he's basically got him under his thumb now, right Ojiro?" she asked the Tail Quirk user.

"Yeah..." he responded with a nod, grimacing in frustration.

{"Brainwashing."} Mr. Aizawa's voice cut through the air, getting everyone's attention.

{Huh?}

{"It's Hitoshi Shinso's Quirk. It allows him to brainwash whoever responds to him. That may not be all that impressive at first glance, but in reality, it's a powerful Quirk. Unfortunately, the entrance exam was playing favorites to those with combative Quirks, therefore overshadowing many hopefuls with conciliatory Quirks."}

This caused Class 1-A to gain surprised expressions.

"Wait what?" Sora blinked, completely wide eyed.

"Brainwashing…So, that's Shinso's Quirk," Cyrus said.

Reina whistled in awe. "Damn, that's actually a very useful Quirk."

"That's actually kinda cool!" Kiba blurted out. It was another instance where he couldn't help but be impressed by the sheer range of Quirks he was witnessing firsthand since coming to this school.

"That explains what he did to Ojiro!" Ayumi declared, looking back at said boy.

"What the heck does he do now?! How is he supposed to win if he can't even control himself anymore?!" Mina asked herself in growing frustration. 


"I have attempted to get into the hero course, but my Quirk doesn't work on machines," Shinso said. Izuku didn't respond, his vacant gaze still present. "So, why don't you leave the arena?" Izuku turned and started to walk back to the stairs. "You should have kept your mouth shut. I win. I will get into the hero course."


{"Hey…what's going on?! Izuku Midoriya is heading out of the arena! What gives?!"}

Izuku took another step away. "Oh no Deku, what are you doing?" Ochaco said.

Another step away. "He can't walk out of the ring!" Iida added. "He'll lose the match if he does."

"Snap out of it, man!" Kirishima shouted.

"Wake up, man!" Kiba declared.

"Midoriya!" Cyrus called out.

"Izuku! You gotta snap out of it! Izuku!" Ayumi shouted desperately.

Unfortunately, none their words seem to be reaching him.


Nejire made a worried noise as she flapped her hands vigorously. "This is really stressful!"

"He'll lose…" Tamaki muttered.

"That Quirk…really is powerful," Mirio said, sternly. "I'm surprised that he isn't in the Hero Course. It's unfortunate. But, he might get that chance if Midoriya loses this."


BOOM!

Izuku was about to step out of bounds, but then a large shockwave erupted from his left side and made everyone guess what just happened. As soon as the air current had cleared, everyone looked in shock to see that now, Izuku was moving freely again, turning back to the now visibly shocked Shinso, with his left index and middle finger sporting that familiar broken discoloration, noticeable from a mile away.

{WHAT'S THIS!? MIDORIYA'S STOPPED JUST IN TIME!}


Ochaco let out a heavy sigh as she flopped back into her seat.

"That was a close one…" she said.

"YES! Way to go, Freckles!" Kiba cheered, jumping up and down with his fist in the air. "This fight's gotta be in the bag now, right?! I mean, if he now knows about Shinso's Quirk, there's no way he's gonna fall for it again!"

"For sure!" Mina cheered with him.

"Hot damn!" Reina blinked in surprise.

"What just happened anyway?" Ayumi wondered, watching Izuku attempting to push Shinso out of bounds.

"It looks like Midoriya used his Quirk to free himself," Tenya said. "But, his fingers broke in the process."

"I think that's how a person can get freed," Ojiro said. "When it happened to me, someone bumped me on the shoulder. That was enough to snap me out of it."

"So pain, or at the very least, some kind of physical shock can break the connection." Cyrus hummed in thought. "Interesting."

"Indeed." Momo nodded in agreement.

"When you get right down to it, Shinso's Quirk is amazing," Tsuyu said. "It's a shame that he didn't get into the Hero Course, ribbit."

"Please. Brainwashing sounds like a villain Quirk," Mineta commented.

"So does a Quirk erasing Quirk," Sora countered, getting everyone's attention. "Or a power over a shadow entity or even invisibility. Just because someone has a Quirk that can suit a villain, doesn't mean that they are. We're all in this school to be heroes. Even Shinso claimed he wanted to be a hero. Why else is he trying so hard?"

"Well, I..." Mineta began, until Sora felt that someone was near him and turned to 'see' Hagakure right behind him.

"You really think so, Ukashi?" Hagakure asked, sounding hopeful.

Sora flustered. “I mean, yeah. Doesn’t everyone deserve a chance…? That’s just my opinion.” Suddenly, Hagakure wrapped him in a tight hug.

"Oh, thank you! Thank you!" the invisible girl exclaimed. "You're the best!"

"Okay. I get it! Can you please let go?" Sora pleaded, turning red from embarrassment.

"Hey! Don't smother him so much!" Ayumi said in an annoyed tone.

"What?" Hagakure complained. "It's just a hug!"

"That's not the point!"

Soon enough, the two got into a small arguement while the others looked mildly amused by this.

"Having two girls fight over him? Ukashi has become quite the man, hasn't he?" Sato said as he chuckled at the sight.

"Kinda makes me jealous, honestly." Sero commented.

"Imagine what it would be like if Shinso was in our class," Kaminari said. "If he was at the USJ when it was attacked, he'd probably be able to deal with the villains with little issue."

"You might be right about that, Kaminari," Kirishima said. He looks back at the arena just in time to see Izuku shoulder toss Shinso down and out of bounds.

Midnight raised her hand and then announced, "Hitoshi Shinso is out of bounds! Izuku Midoriya is the winner!"

"I guess that means Shinso probably won't get into the Hero Course," Kirishima said, visibly disappointed.

"Yeah, bummer," Kaminari frowned.

“Did you two seriously forget that Ojiro was hypnotized by Shinso in the last competition?” Jiro asked the two boys with a raised eyebrow.

"Uh…sorry," Kaminari apologized to Ojiro.

"Yeah, my bad, man." Kirishima apologized.

"It's okay," Ojiro said. "I hate to say it, but his Quirk is impressive. He could probably make a good hero."

Hearing all this, Sora pursed his lips before he slipped out of Hagakure's arms and stood up, getting the class' attention.

"Sora?" Ayumi questioned.

"I'll be back. I'm gonna take a walk for a bit." Sora said as he began to walk away.

Kiba perked up at this. “Oh! If you’re leaving to get some snacks, do you think you could grab some for the rest of us?”

"Yeah, yeah." The Red Ranger waved him off, disappearing from sight.


[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Supportive Heart]

After four moments of walking, he noticed someone across the hall. The person he was looking for, was slowly walking towards the entrance to the bleachers, but Sora stopped him, calling out, "Yo, Shinso!"

The General Studies student heard his name, and looked behind him, recognizing the kid who called his name. He stopped in his tracks and let Sora walk up to him. What could he want with him? He's friends with Midoriya, so why not go check up on him? But then, he got his answer.

Sora had a warm smile on his face as he extended his hand and held it out, just like before. It was a bit strange, since he wasn't expecting the kid to do this again, but then he got something even more surprising. He heard the boy speak. "I'll see you in the Hero Course." Unlike before, Shinso's expression did change. Instead of staying blank and calm, he was taken aback by that.

Sora noticed that and then spoke again. "I told you before, didn't I? I said 'I hope you make it in as a welcome addition'. And I think you earned a spot with your performance. So, I hope the next time we meet, it's in the Hero Course."

Shinso looked at the hand offered to him, thinking back on the events that happened, what made him come here, and then he smiled and extended his hand out, gripping Sora's and shaking it. He looked back at Sora and then responded. "Count on it." Sora nodded, making Shinso look proud. "Smart guy." He said, as he let go and started walking away. "I'll be rooting for you and your friend Midoriya, so don't lose until at least the semifinals." He looked back one last time, to see Sora give a thumbs up, before they both went their separate ways.

Sora was happy for Shinso. He worked so hard and got this far. Hopefully his dream can be achieved, thanks to everyone seeing all his hard work. If he was able to be accepted from bending the rules a bit, then Shinso can be too. He earned the right to be a student of the Hero Course.

To Be Continued...

 

Notes:

Alright! Next chapter is gonna be starting strong with the action. But let's focus on this chapter for now. Sora kinda friends with Shinso. At the very least, he's on very good terms with the General Studies Student.

I decided to had the Rangers take part in watching the festival until after Momo and Tokoyami's match. You'll see why soon...

The Rangers will also get an idea about how strong Shoto is. Not only that, but now you guys know that he's gonna try to be unmorphed for most of his fights. He's only gonna morph for the ones he's serious with. Namely Todoroki and Bakugo.

Thank you very much for reading. "Power Rangers: Heroes Force" will return. Please be sure to favorite and follow if you like the story, and also review it. If you have any questions or discussions you'd have for me, then please in a review or a PM my profile.

In Space - Alsatia's Warship

"Hmm, this is interesting..." Ernesh said as he, Alsatia, and Scrozzle all viewed Earth through the globe. "It appears that most of those "Heroes" are gathered in one place."

"Indeed." Scrozzle nodded in agreement. "Apparently, they've come from all around to watch something called a 'Sports Festival'."

"Is that right?" Alsatia asked with interest before she saw something and took a closer look at it. "Well, looks like those "Heroes" aren't the only ones watching this 'Sports Festival'."

Scrozzle saw that she was gesturing towards Sora, Reina, Ayumi, Kiba, and Cyrus sitting with their classmates. "The Rangers!" He exclaimed, moving closer to the globe.

"Indeed." Alsatia said. "It seems that they've all taken part in this festival."

 "Mmm, I see..." Scrozzle hummed in thought. "Perhaps we can use that to our advantage. With the Rangers busy watching the Sports Festival, we can send someone down to attack the city." 

"Even though one of your monsters can easily handle whatever 'Hero' that may try to stop it during its attack on the city, don't forget that the Rangers can easily destroy it once they find out about the attack." Ernesh added in his thoughts.

Alsatia thought about Scrozzle's suggestion before saying, "Then perhaps, it shouldn't be a monster this time. As in, fight fire with fire."

 This got Scrozzle and Ernesh's attention. "Pardon?" The latter asked.

The robotic inventor lit up at her words. "Oh, that's genius!" He exclaimed in glee. "Those Rangers may handle fighting against one of my monsters, but I doubt they can handle fighting against an evil Power Ranger. I'll get to work on it, right away." 

 Alsatia gave a small nod. "See to it. But, bring them to me first." 

"But of course, my Queen." Scrozzle nodded before walking away. "In fact, I believe I know the perfect candidate."


Sports Festival - Stadium

Meanwhile, Todoroki had exited out of Player Waiting Room 2 he was in and was marching his way towards the tunnel that would take him out to the arena. His mind was a bit distracted by how Izuku won the fight with the Brainwashing boy. 'Midoriya won, huh? Of course he would. All that's left is for Ukashi to win his match and I'll beat them both.'

Shoto turned the corner, but stopped when he saw the one person he didn't want to see or talk to since the start of the games. "What do you want?"

That person was Endeavor, who was leaning against the wall in the middle of the hallway. "You're acting disgracefully, Shoto." He said with a hint of venom in his tone. But Shoto wasn't having any of it. He ignored him and continued to walk past him. "If you'd simply used the power in your left side, you would've had an overwhelming victory in both previous rounds. It's time to stop this childish rebellion of yours. You have a duty to surpass that imbecile, All Might."

As he walked past Endeavor, Shoto's anger grew more and more with every word out of his father's mouth.

"Do you understand what I'm saying? You're different from your siblings. You're my greatest masterpiece."

"Is that all you have to say to me, you bastard?" Shoto hissed with his back to Endeavor. Now angrier than he's ever been in a long time. "I will win and advance using only mom's power. I wouldn't give you the pleasure of seeing me use yours!"

Endeavor's eyes narrowed and looked away. "Even if that works for you in this tournament, you'll soon find the limits of that power."

'Shoto's always had a rebellious streak, but lately it's gotten worse with every passing day. Spending time with the rangers must have increased his rebellious nature. Damn you Nezu, why did you even allow those quirkless teenagers into this school? You're only increasing their popularity and making people support them instead of us, the real heroes in this world.' Endeavor thought with a snarl and clenched his fist.


With Class 1A

After meeting up with Shinso, Sora bought several snacks on his way back to his classmates. "I'm back!" He called out as he returned to the Class 1-A box.

 "Aw, sweet!" Kiba swooned jokingly. "You remembered to get the snacks! My hero!"

*SMACK*

He was cut off as a bag of chips was thrown directly into his face before dropping into his lap.

"I got some for everyone." He said, passing out everything to the class.

Soom enough, they could hear footsteps coming their way several students glanced back and saw Izuku appearing around the corner.

"Oh, Deku!" Ochaco waved out to him. "Nice job!"

"We saved a seat for you!" Iida gave a thumbs up as he gestured a seat next to himself.

"Ah, thanks!" The mophead smiled. Before he could step down though, he noticed Ojiro giving him a smile. The two exchanged nods as the former went down and joined his fellow students.

"Great job out there!" Ayumi smiled at him.

 "Yeah, you kicked butt!" Kiba grinned patted the boy on the back.

"So... How the hell did you get rid of Shinso's Brainwash?" Reina asked right away.

"E-Er... Well..." Izuku stuttered.

"AH! I was also wondering about that!" Mina leaned over from her seat. "He basically took control of your body, right?"

"There would've been no way to regain control either, so how did you do it?" Cyrus asked as well.

"Umm... It's hard to explain. I guess you could say that...my willpower allowed me to subconsciously activate my Quirk and force me back to reality?" Izuku nervously answered.

Most of the students rose an eyebrow at his explaination, though Sora came to his rescue.

"Well, regardless of how you did it, I'm sure you'll have a way to avoid being affected by Shinso's Quirk if you ever find yourself facing off against him again." He then handed a bag of chips to the teen. "Figured you needed a little pick-me-up after that match."

"O-Oh, thanks."

All conversation ceased to bear fruit as the flames of the stadium arena brought their attention back down to the middle.

"Oh! Look! Here comes Todoroki and Sero!" Hagakure exclaimed as said students emerged from the opposite corridors.

[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Strategy VS Wilderness]

The next two combatants were now standing in the arena, as Mic then announced. {"Enough standing around! Now welcome to the ring, our Next Players!"} The screen showed the fighters and then Mic continued. {"He's got skills, but at the expense of some really creepy looking elbows. From the Hero Course, it's Hanta Sero!"}

Sero looked slightly annoyed at the jab, but was otherwise looking determined as he stretched. 

{" VERSUS"}

{ "An early front runner in competition who's way too strong for his own good. Someone who rightfully got into the Hero Course based on recommendations. It's Shoto Todoroki."} 

"I wonder how this is gonna turn out," Kaminari said.

"To be honest, I don't see this fight ending in Sero's favor," Jiro said, munching on her snack.

"That's a given," Reina agreed with a nod.

"I think so too," Cyrus joined in. "With all that fire power – or ice power – Todoroki has...yeah, Sero's not gonna win this."

"Ahh, come on guys!" Kiba waved off. "Sure, he froze that building in the Team battles, but how much stronger could he be?"

Shoto's eyes weren't visible, but Sora could tell that he looked very angry. 

As Ayumi waited for the match to begin, she noticed Sora looking thoughtful again. "Sora?"

"...Does Todoroki seem... off to you?" Sora asked, his eyes still focused on Todoroki. Hearing this, Ayumi and Izuku- who also heard Sora's question- looked down at the arena. They couldn't see Todoroki's face well, but there was something about his expression that made them curious. He looked... angry? Such an expression on Todoroki's face looked so foreign to the Pink Ranger and the green-haired mophead. What could have happened to make Todoroki have such a look? 

 {Ready? ...Go!}

Sero acted fast, shooting out his tape and wrapping it around Todoroki's midsection. Everyone, including Sero, was surprised when Todoroki didn't make an attempt to escape or even evade/stop the attack.

With a terrifying glare, Todoroki muttered. "Apologies."

Then, a moment later, Todoroki releases a large wave of ice that not only freed him from his restraints and excessively freezes Sero in place, but the ice had reached heights so high that it could be seen over the stadium, narrowly missing the crowd of people in that direction, including the students of class 1-A.

Others stared in awe at the display of power, including Mirio, Tamaki, and Nejire.


For once, Present Mic was speechless as he stared at the giant iceberg with his face pressed up against the glass and his sunglasses askew.


Even the other teachers were left awestruck, including Toshinori, slack jawed.

"Oh...my..."


Shoto let out a sigh of cold air as his right side was frozen in many places. With the tape around his body completely frozen, it didn't take much to break free of it.

As for Sero, he was near completely frozen, minus his face. Trapped in the ice, Sero shivered as he stuttered out. "Um...d-don't you-t-t-think you went o-overb-board?"

Midnight, who was also frozen on the right side of her body, said as she shivered, "Tell me the truth, Sero. Can you move at all?"

"A-A-Are y-you k-k-kidding me?! O-Obviously not! I-I can't f-f-feel my e-entire b-b-body." Sero stuttered.

"Sero has been eliminated! Todoroki advances to the next round!" Midnight announced, resulting in the crowd saying only one thing that could to the frozen boy.

"Nice Try! Nice Try! Nice Try! Nice Try!"

Todoroki approached the frozen Sero and used his flames to melt the ice encasing Sero. "Sorry. I didn't mean to go overboard. I was angry, that's all." Shoto told Sero.


Back in the stands, everyone in Class 1-A, even the Rangers, were surprised at how strong Shoto was. 

"Holy crap..." Reina uttered out.

"I knew he was strong, but this is not like anything I expected." Ojiro agreed.

"Well... looks like you got your answer, Kiba." Cyrus muttered to Kiba, who was gaping like a fish out of water.

"Wow, Todoroki's strength, it's unlike anything I've seen before." Ochaco admitted with a bit of nervousness in her voice.

"He looked angry." Ayumi noted. "Must have been because of his father and his position as the Number 2 hero or it could be that Endeavor was trying to get him to use his fire."

"Come on, the Flame Hero can't be that bad, can he?" Sato asked with skepticism.

"Don't bet on it." Jiro said, twirling around her earphone jack. "Endeavor might have the most arrests than many of the heroes on the charts, but his personality leaves a lot to be desired."

"He might be the number two hero, but he's still got plenty to learn." Sora said, watching Todoroki place his hand on Sero's chest and started to melt the ice. 

He knew that Todoroki or Izuku were whom he was going to be facing when the second round began. There was no escaping it.

But that didn't break his resolve. If anything, it burned even more fiercely than before.

"Hey Ukashi! You should get to the ring," Ochaco said. "Your fight's up next."

"Right," The Red Ranger said, standing up to his feet to leave. Though he was stopped by Kirishima.

"Hold up, bro." The redhead spoke, stopping Sora. "There's something you gotta know about that Monoma guy's Quirk."

"Yeah! Apparenty, he has the power to copy Quirks!" Sero infromed. "He was able to use Kirishima's Hardening and Bakugo's Explosion with just a touch."

"Yeah, but Ukashi and his team are Quirkless. So it's not like it'll work on them." Mina pointed out while shrugging her shoulders.

"That's true!" Hagakure chirped happily. "He's got this in the bag!"

"I figured as much." Cyrus spoke up. Considering what happened in the Calvary Battle, we we're already aware of what Monoma's Quirk can do."

"Still appreciate the support, guys." Sora gave them a grateful smile.

"But what about those new abilities of yours?" Shoji asked, halting everyone. "Would it be possible for him to copy those?"

Much to their surprise, Sora smirked. "I doubt it, since my Ranger abilities aren't exactly Quirks. But, I have a feeling that he'll be in for quite a surprise when he tries to."

"Good luck out there, Sora!" Izuku said.

"Break a leg, Ukashi!" Ochaco cheered.

"But not really!" Tenya said.

Sora returns the gesture with a grin. "Got it." He then glanced at his team, who returned the gazes. Ayumi and Kiba both gave him a thumbs up as Reina and Cyrus smirked at him.

Nodding in reponse, Sora turned on his heel and made his way out towards the exit.

 In the meantime, some of the others stared over at the Rangers in shock.

"Aren't you guys gonna wish him good luck?" Kaminari asked.

"Knowing him, he won't need it," Reina brushed off.


Present Mic and Aizawa began their commentary once again; the stadium flames erupting at the same time.

{"Okay! The stage that was frozen in the second round has finally dried up! Are you all excited, everyone?! Let's move to the next match!"}

{"...This should be interesting."} Aizawa grunted in notion for a certain Red Ranger.

Exiting the tunnel ways, Sora and Monoma both walked up onto the arena.

{"The tied winner of both the Obstacle Course and Cavalry Battle! The one who annihilated All Might's record in the Entrance Exam! T he red leader of the Power Rangers!  From the Hero Course - Sora Ukashi!"}

Sora began to stretch his limbs little to loosen up.

{"VERSUS!"}

{"He's caused quite the storm himself! While not as flashy as one would expect, you could say that you've met your equal when you cross this guy! From the Hero Course—Monoma Neito!"}

Said blonde looked on with a smug look with his arms by his side.


With Mirio, Nejire, and Tamaki

"Hey, Hey! I wonder how this will play out." Nejire chirped, patting Mirio's shoulder rapidly.

"I'm curious as well." The blond added. "We've got a guy who can suit up in numerous outfits with new abilities, and another one who can copy Quirks."

"Do you think Ukashi is gonna use those suits?" Tamaki questioned.

"I mean, we've all seen what he and his team did in the race and the Cavalry battle, right?" Mirio spoke up. "I doubt he'll need it."

"We can only see! I'm excited though!" Nejire nodded. "Kick his butt, Ukashi!"


Class 1-A

"Sounds like your sister and her friends are cheering Sora on." Reina told Cyrus, having used her enhanced hearing to hear.

 The Blue Ranger sighed lowly. "Yeah, that definitely sounds like her."

 Kiba grinned at this. "In that case, should we start cheering as well? I mean, we can't let them have all the fun."

 "I'm way ahead of you, Kib." Ayumi chirped in as she waved her pom-poms around. "Go, Sora! Wooo!"

"You even brought those?!" Jiro gawked in shock.

"Darn it. I should've done that..." Hagakure pouted in disappointment.


Hearing the cheer, Sora looked up at where his friends and classmates sat as they cheered him on, causing the Red Ranger to smile at the sight.

"Wow...looks like you're quite popular, aren't you?" Monoma smirked, causing Sora to look at him with a confused look.

"What?"

"Apparently, your class is well-known for suriving a villain attack and you're famous for being one of the 'Power Rangers' from the news. Not to mention, that speech of yours from earlier when you claimed to be Quirkless..."

Sora immediately narrowed his eyes at the blond boy from the tone of his voice. "What exactly are you trying to say?"

"Are those other four from the Cavalry Battle also from the news?" Monoma snarked. "It's bad enough that Class A has been hogging the spotlight, but now we have to deal with a bunch of vigilantes playing 'hero.' I don't know what the principal was thinking, bringing a bunch like you into U.A ."

"Monoma was it? You know, you should never judge a book by its cover." Sora said in a calm tone.

"What's there to judge? You claim to have no Quirk! And you somehow managed to pass and place first in the exam and the Obstacle Race with that power? I'm pretty sure that makes you a liar and a cheater." Monoma said with a smug expression on his face.

Sora just about had enough of this guy's mouth. He reminded him of Bakugo, but not as badly.

Time to shut him up.

{"Begin!"} Present Mic shouted.

"This just goes to show that class 1-B is superior to cl-" Monoma was about to say something until he was suddenly interrupted.

Within a flash, Sora charged at the blonde full force before he could blink and in an instant, he delivered a really hard punch to the gut, knocking the wind out of the boy and then delivered a massive uppercut that knocked him out instantly, the Copy Quirk user falling over and unconscious.

"Seriously?" Sora raised a skeptical eyebrow. "I mean, we're in the middle of a fight. Or did you forget that while you were too busy running your mouth?"

In a matter of seconds, the match was over. Everyone, even the Pros, Present Mic and Aizawa had looked shocked, while the Rangers smiled at this; Ayumi's expression brightened as she couldn't help but smile too.

{"Uh...what just happened?"} Present Mic asked.

Midnight went to check on Monoma, he was completely out cold. "Monoma is unable to continue fighting! Ukashi advances!"

The crowd had been left speechless as the fight had ended so quickly; most of them felt like they had to get their eyes checked since they didn't expect this to be the outcome of a fight with someone who was Quirkless.

"He went through that guy like it was nothing!"

"I-Is he really Quirkless!?" 


With Class 1-A

WHOO, SORA! " Reina cheered. " WAY TO KICK HIS ASS!"

"HECK YEAH!" Kiba cheered as he raised a fist in the air.

"Sora!" Ayumi soon cheered as she waved her pom-poms. "That was great!" 

"No doubt!" Cyrus nodded in agreement. "In fact, I think it's safe to say that that match ended much faster than Todoroki's match against Sero!"

Kirishima looked on in confusion. "Did anyone actually see Ukashi do anything? It's like he was there one second and the next, boom, the fight's already over."

"He moved too fast for my eyes to catch," Tokoyami said.

"Same here. I couldn't see him at all," Momo said.

"Man, that fight ended faster than Todoroki's." Kaminari commented.

"Iida, could you spot him?" Mina asked, getting a head shake from the boy.

"Sorry, I couldn't," Tenya said. "Ukashi moved so quickly, my eyes couldn't catch him."

"I take it you couldn't see him either, Deku." Ochaco said.

"Maybe, for a split second," Izuku said. "I didn't expect him to move that fast though."

"Monster..." Mineta shivered in fright.

"He's definitely got speed, and strength to boot," Aoyama said. "I just hope he held back enough, otherwise he could have really hurt that other boy, or worse."

"I mean, he didn't even use one of those suits or that crazy power from the race." Sato pointed out.

"I think he kinda deserved it." Jiro spoke up, waving around her earphone jacks. "Guy was talking a lot of crap about our class."

"Well, I think Miss Midnight is calling for some medical help," Tsuyu pointed out, noticing several medic robots appearing to collect Monoma.

Bakugo watched the Red Ranger and began clenching his fists tighly, small puffs of smoke emerged from between his fingers.

'Spandex Bastard!' He snarled. 'Just you wait! I'm gonna put you down like the extra you are!'

Elsewhere, Todoroki furrowed his eyebrows as he too studied the fight. 'So, he won his fight as well. But he didn't use those suits or that power.'

Sora began making his way back to the stands. He was already declared the winner, so he had no reason to linger around. "That was beyond easy; I was hoping for a challenge."

Aizawa looked on, somewhat impressed by Sora's speed and power, pleased that he's taking this seriously. Thus far, he couldn't really tell if either Izuku or Todoroki would be a match for him yet, but he expects one of them to give Sora a little challenge. The question was who he would face in the next round.

To Be Continued...

Ayumi couldn't help but hug Sora as he returned to his class. "Way to go, Sora! You were so cool!" she jumped in place and took his hands.

"Hey, it was no big deal!" Sora said sheepishly as he rubbed the back of his head.

"What are you talking about? That was a huge deal!" Toru said with a smile, "You were like 'Bam!' 'Pow' 'Woosh'!" 

"You were amazing, Ukashi!" Kirishima said. "I've never seen speed like that since the Quirk Test."

"Yeah, you basically wrecked that guy!" Mina added in.

"Speaking of which, who wants to bet that pretty boy's going to be piss when he finds out about what happened to him?" Reina snorted.

"Meh, he was all talk and no action. So, Cap just humbled him a little." Kiba shrugged casually. "Speaking of which, I think you're up, Emergency Exit."

"Yea, you're right," Tenya said, standing up and made his way out of the stands. "Time to bring honor to my family name."

"Go get 'em, Iida!" Kirishima grinned.

"If he wins, then you'd have to fight him next," Ochaco said to Sora.

"Yeah, you're right." Sora said. "Might give me more of a challenge."


A short while later, Iida emerged, as well as Hatsume, the latter who seemed to be decked out with a new set of equipment. The flames erupted once more as Present Mic introduced the two students.

["Alright! Let's move onto the third match of the first bracket! From the east gate, this dreadlock girl and her goggles are one of the most interesting first years, but don't let her looks fool you, she's one gadget equipped dynamite. From the Support Course, it's Mei Hatsume!"]

 ["Versus..."]

["One of the fastest students alive, the student with the engines in his legs, Tenya Iida from Class 1-A!"] Mic shouted with excitement as both Hatsume and Iida stepped onto the field.


"He's up against the Support Course, huh?" Jiro observed.

"I wonder how this fight will go?" Tsuyu also wondered.

"A support girl, huh?" Ayumi said. "I remember seeing her on your Calvary Battle teamm, Izuku. Did she really make those gadgets?"

"Yeah, she's an aspiring inventor," Izuku said. "She told me she would love to work for a major company."

"And apparently, she refers to her gadgets as...'babies'." Ochaco informed awkwardly.

"Really? Well, let's see how this girl handles herself against an aspiring hero. Should be an epic display of power and smarts," Sora said.

"Uh, what is Iida wearing?" Sato asked, causing everyone to look down at the boy, who seemed to be putting some gear on, a backpack with metallic attachments.

"...Is that a balancer of some sort?" Cyrus cupped his chin with interest.

"It appears so." Momo hummed.

 "Where the heck did he get that?" Kaminari questioned aloud.


"Hero Course students are not allowed to use support gear without the proper paperwork!" Midnight shouted with a serious glare.

"I wasn't told anything about this! Aoyama got to wear his belt!" Tenya snapped with a gasp.

"He filled out the proper paperwork!" The Pro stated.

"I apologize, ma'am." Iida began with remorse. "It's... It's just that my heart was moved by my opponent's sportsmanship. She wanted a fair fight as much since she invented this equipment, so she lent it to me, as it was only fair as she was using her own gear."

There was a pause before Midnight finally spoke up. "SUCH YOUTHFUL VIGOR! Ooohoohoohoo! I'll allow it!" she said with a squirm, much to the surprise of Mic and the audience.


"Why the hell did they allow such a perverted hero to be the referee for this event!?" Reina wondered.


{"...Begin!"}

The bell rang and Tenya ran forward, just as Mei turned on her own microphone. "Betcha you love how fast those braces make you, right Specs?" Mei asked through her microphone. "Don't you just love how light those braces make your legs lighter? I designed those parts to specifically increase the wearer's mobility and speed. But I can easily evade you with my hydraulic attachment."


10 minutes later...

...Well...Tenya showed what his patience was made of.

He was talked into wearing Hatsume's gear for a fair fight. However, instead of a proper battle, Hatsume proceeds to display the functionality of not only the gear she wore, but also what Tenya wore, the Auto Balancer, to potential investors.

"I think I've showed off everything I wanted to. Suppose it's time for me to wrap things up." Mei said, wiping the sweat from her brow after showcasing all of her inventions she had with her, then casually stepped over the boundary line, much to the surprise of Midnight. "You've been a big help to me, specs. Thanks for that."

Tenya looked on in disbelief. "What are you doing?!"

"Getting out of the fight, duuuh," Hatsume said, like it was obvious.

"But that means you lost!"

"Hmmm...no, I think I won."

Tenya gaped at her. "Wha...What are you talking about?"

"I may have lost the battle, but I've won the war of advertisement!" Hatsume declared. She waved a dismissive hand at the agitated Tenya. "I only used you. Sorry." She didn't look like she was sorry at all.

"I HATE YOOOUUU!"


Class 1-A

The 'match' if it could be called that was found amusing to the class who could barely contain themselves. "AH Ha Ha Ha Ha!" Kiba and Mina laughed loudly.

"Oh man!" Reina laughed while clutching her sides. "That was a riot! I felt like I was gonna bust a gut from watching that!"

"She...She was using her match as a way to showcase her inventions to the support companies watching the festival, while tricking Iida into being her crash test dummy." Cyrus blinked in shock.

Even Sora and Ayumi found the match amusing and laughed as well.

Kirishima, Kaminari, Sero, and Toru all joined in the laughter, only for Momo to turn on them.

"How can you just laugh at our classmate's humiliation like that?! You should be ashamed of yourselves!" She scolded them.

"Poor Iida," Izuku remarked. "She must have said whatever she could to get him to trust her and she betrayed that trust."

Unbeknownst to him, Ochaco had gotten up from het seat, looking a bit worried about something and made her way out of the stands. While everyone was too distracted by what had happened, only Ayumi seemed to notice her standing up to leave.

"Ochaco...?" She muttered.


UA Stadium

["Well, that was uh... an interesting match."] Mic admitted, before he cleared his throat. ["Well then, let's move onto match four of the first bracket. ["From Class 1-A, he's a student with an electric personality, Denki Kaminari."] Mic announced, as Kaminari smirked with a cocky grin. 

["Versus..."]

["The assassin from Class 1-B, the beautiful flower with thorns, Ibara Shiozaki!"]

"Excuse me!" Ibara called out, catching Mic off-guard as said student walked to the edge of the battlefield. "Please pardon my interruption, but I don't understand why you called me an assassin. I've come to this festival in search of victory, not to take my opponent's life."

["Sorry about that."] Mic apologized.

But Ibara wasn't finished. "Gentleman, I didn't enter U.A. for wicked or selfish reasons, but to deliver salvation to others." She went on, almost like a light from heaven was shining down on her. "It's my humble quest to spread true good across the world."

["Look, I said I was sorry, alright. I didn't mean to make it out like you're a killer."] Mic apologized, which Ibara found to be satisfactory.


"Wow." Kiba blinked. "If I didn't know better, I'd say she comes from a very religious family. That probably explains why she didn't take too kindly about being called an assassin."

"For sure." Mina noted from the stands, taking a bite of her snack. "Guess Present Mic should have thought of some better words to describe her."

"Yeah, Shiozaki is like that." Setsuna said from the Class 1-B stands, looking at Kiba and the Class A students. "She's really religious, but that's just who she is. Nothing wrong with that, but she's honest and honorable. I mean, she even didn't go along with Monoma's plan to throw the obstacle course."

"Ok, you really got to do something about that guy." Jiro pointed out.


Back on the field, Kaminari was still looking cocky. "Who'd have thought we would be fighting each other." He said with a grin. "I mean, I much rather take you out for dinner. Must be fate. Either way, I'll make sure I don't go easy on you; let's give it our all."

"Well, as they say, it's your move." Ibara challenged, just as Midnight announced the start of the match.

["Begin!"]

"This match will be over in two seconds, but I'm still going to go all out!" Denki announced, charging his electricity to maximum. "Indiscriminate Shock 1.3 Million Volts!" he shouted, sending an electric blast towards Ibara, but she turned her back to him and commanded her hair to create a shield of vines to protect her from the shock.

Of course, using his Indiscriminate Shock forced Denki into his dumb state, allowing Ibara to counterattack by sending her vines directly at him, wrapping him up and hanging him over the stage. "Kaminari has been immobilized! Ibara moves to the second round!" Midnight announced.


"Well...that didn't last long." Cyrus blinked with a blank look.

"Alright, Shiozaki! Way to represent Class 1-B!" Tetsutetsu cheered loudly.

"Ah, poor Kaminari." Reina said with a bit of a smirk.

"You don't seem too sorry for him." Jiro noticed it as she told Reina with an amused look.

"Oh, I do. Only because he now has to look dumber for the next hour." She and Jiro shared a laugh.

"But he was right, this match was over in two seconds." Monoma said tauntingly, appearing over the wall. Though he had a huge bandage on his face. "I wonder if his real quirk is the ability to tell the future. Hey, wasn't Class 1-A supposed to be better than us?" he said with a laugh.

"Laugh it up, copycat." Reina said, annoyed by Monoma's taunting. "Then again, I wouldn't expect much from someone who shamelessly got his ass handed to them in 2 seconds."

"Ohhhh!" Some of Class 1-A exclaimed.

"YOU'RE ONE TO TALK! CONSIDERING THE FACT THAT YOU AND THE OTHER 'RANGERS' AREN'T EVEN TAKING PART IN THE GAMES!" Monoma yelled, only to get smacked in the back of the head by Kendo, knocking him out.

"Sorry about him." she apologized to Class 1-A and the rangers, then noticed Sora. "Ukashi, right? Nice job with your match."

"Oh, thanks."

'I hate that guy.' Tsuyu, Kiba, Jiro, Momo, Mina and Reina thought in their heads.

"Hey, Setsuna! Kendo! Isn't your match next?" Pony perked up, causing the orange-haired girl to blink.

"Right!" Kendo nodded before disappearing from the wall.

"Let's get a move on, Class Rep!" Setsuna cheered in glee.

"Huh. I guess all of Class B isn't bad." Kiba said. "What do you think, Uraraka?" Upon hearing no answer, he looked to see that the brunette wasn't there, "Huh? Where'd she go?" She looked next to her, "Hey, Freckles. do you know where Uraraka went?"

He got no answer as Izuku was seen scribbling furiously in his notes, mumbling a bunch of things about the prior fight, taking note of Ibara's Quirk and how to work around it.

This mumbling was getting weird to the other students as he just kept writing and mumbling, even the Rangers looked at him with blank looks.

"He's doing it again." Sora blinked.

"Deku..." Bakugo said, getting very annoyed.

"Man, like looking in a mirror," Kiba said. "Wouldn't you agree, Cy?"

"More like a reflection of the past. I remember how often I would take note of things. Granted, I don't think I was that intense," Cyrus said.

"Yo, String Bean!" Reina said, snapping Izuku out of his trance. "Having fun there?"

"Huh? Oh, was I muttering again?" Izuku asked. " "Sorry, it happens when I take notes on the abilities of others. I didn't realize that I was talking out loud."

"It's fine, Izuku," Ayumi said. "So you take notes on other people with quirks?"

"Yeah, it's part of my hero training. I've been taking notes before I got...I mean before my quirk developed," Izuku said. "I've even taken notes on my classmates." He pulled out his book, "I have stuff on Uraraka, Kaminari, Iida, even you guys."

"You've been writing about us?" Sora asked.

"Yeah, here's your section," Izuku said, showing the Rangers their part of his book.

The team closely examined it. True to his word, Izuku was very detail-oriented, but it seemed like their section was mostly blank. "Not much on here." Kiba said.

"I need to see you in action a bit more. I've only been going off by the news and the Rescue Training." Izuku said. "Plus, Sora's last fight ended in two seconds and I couldn't really see him move."

"Can I see mine?" Ayumi asked as Izuku then showed her the page, which was very detailed.. "Wow, very accurate...you're not going to ever betray us one day, are you?"

"Huh? No way, of course not!" Izuku insisted.

"Just teasing," The Pink Ranger giggled. "I appreciate you for doing this, and I appreciate you for not drawing my breasts and butt super big like some pervert."

That got an awkward blush from Izuku, which made Reina realize something. "Hey, I forgot to check my picture's boobs and hips."

"I would never draw either of you like that, or any girl for that matter!" Izuku said, this reaction even getting a chuckle out of Sora.

"Girls, ease up; no more talking about boobs and butts. And Izuku, don't let it get to you too much. It's good to be reserved about that stuff, but you gotta keep it cool," Sora suggested

"He's right." Cyrus chimed in. "You've got some incredible note taking abilities, Izuku. Just be careful, if others found out you were doing this, it might make them a little mistrusting of you."

"Plus, you might be a target for villains or anyone looking for a hero's weakness,"  Kiba said.

"Oh I know, I would never compromise the safety of the pros," Izuku said. "And I'll try not to let everyone know about this. I know it could give out the wrong idea."

"Still, this is cool. I wish Ochako could see this," Sora said.

"Huh?" Izuku looked around and saw that she wasn't there. "Where is she?"

"She left after Tenya's fight," Ayumi informed. "Maybe to get ready for her match, considering who she's up against..."

The group collectively winced again as Izuku looked back up at them with a grimace, turning their gazes over to a certain ash-blonde.

"Oh," Reina said simply, "Right. Shit. To be honest, I kinda forgot about had to do that."

"You know, if you really want to help her, you could use that notebook of yours to help give her some ideas for a strategy against Bakugo." Sora suggested.

Izuku perked up at this as he looked down at his notebook. He knew firsthand how strong Bakugo was and how he wasn't the type to hold back. So maybe, he could give Ochaco a hand.  "Yeah, you're right..."


Alsatia's Warship

Scrozzle walked into the throne room as Alsatia and Ernesh turned their gazes upon him. "Apologies for the wait, your Highness. But the process is now completed and our warrior is now ready."

"Excellent. Now, bring him here at once." Alsatia ordered.

"At once, my Queen." Scrozzle replied and stepped aside as the doors slid open for a shadowy figure to walk in. "Allow me to introduce the White Dino Thunder Ranger." Scrozzle informed, gesturing to the new figure.

He wore a white Ranger suit that had black diamond/arrow shaped patterns on the outside of his legs and boots, as well as on the inside of his arms. He also had three on either side of a chest shield he had, a golden belt with a small sword/dagger weapon, shaped like a feather, a black neckpiece, and a point on top of his helmet. His visor however was bright red and resembled a mouth, the top half being a lot wider than the bottom, with jaws in the corner.

"Well, he certainly looks intimidating." Alsatia hummed in approval.

 Ernesh let out a grunt. "That may be true, but that pales in comparison to strength, power, and skill. Are you really certain that he's capable enough of destroying the Power Rangers?" 

 "If you're asking me to prove myself by challenging you to a fight, then that can be arranged." The White Ranger clone replied  with a deep voice.

 Alsatia raised an eyebrow at this. "Is that so? Actually, I have something else in mind." With a snap of her fingers, multiple Batzler Soldiers entered the room and stood between Alsatia's group and the evil Ranger, ready to attack. "If you can defeat all of these Batzlers without taking any damage, then you have my permission to go down to Earth to attack the city and destroy the Power Rangers."

Without a word, the White Ranger then proceeded to take out his sword and held it up. "Do your worse." he said, twirling his weapon around.

The Batzlers all let out an alien noise before they charged at the White Ranger, who let out a snort.

"Fools." he smirked, charging at them, then slashed two grunts with his sword while running past them.

He turned and slashed three more down the chest, knocking them away, then he turned and slashed another's forearm while it ran past him. Another Batzler ducked as he tried to slash it, then it blocked the Ranger's forearm with its claw, before the Ranger pulled his away. They waved their arms around, before the Ranger grabbed the Batzler's forearm and held his sword near its chest, before he threw the grunt away.

Another Batzler came and tried to kick the Ranger, who blocked it with his hand, then he hit its forearm slightly with his arm, but then they moved away as another dived to kick him, making him miss. The Ranger turned as more Batzlers came running at him.

"Come on!" He dared, slashing his sword around, creating a bunch of laser arrows, then pointed it forward, shooting them towards the Batzlers. They all hit the grunts and the ground around them, making sparks as they hit the ground.

"Weaklings." The Ranger scoffed as he laughed, resting his sword on his shoulder. He dashed towards them all quickly with his superspeed, then began to slash them all with his sword. He slashed all of the grunts' chests twice in an X shape, before he somersaulted away from them, and landed crouched down.

"That's gotta hurt." he said, holding his left hand out, with his right near his chest.

BOOM!

The Batzlers let out cries of pain as sparks came out of their chests, before they all exploded into vapor.

Seeing the fight was done, the Ranger got up and rested his sword on his shoulder.

"Too easy." he said, before looking over his shoulder at Alsatia. "I take it you're satified with the results?"

Ernesh growled at this. "Watch your tone..." He began, only for Alsatia to raise a hand to stop him.

"I must say, that was quite impressive." Alastia hummed in approval. "Now, let's see how it fares against our enemy..."

She waved a hand as image of the new Rangers appeared in the globe. "Sora Ukashi, the Red Ranger; Reina Fukukado, the Black Ranger; Ayumi Suzuni, the Pink Ranger; Cyrus Hado, the Blue Ranger; and Kiba Mason, the Yellow Ranger."

The White Ranger clone clenched his hand in eagerness. "Crushing a bunch of color-coded weaklings? Consider it done." He smirked darkly, as his visor glowed an ominous red.

"Tokage is unable to continue! Kendo wins and advances!"

The fight was definitely be a challenging and dynamic encounter, with both challengers utilizing their strengths to try and overcome the other's unique abilities. Kendo's Big Fist vs Setsuna's Lizard Tail Splitter. In the end, Kendo's strong focus on close-quarters combat and her ability to exploit Setsuna's Quirk gave her the edge in the fight and helped her achieve victory.

"Oh man! That was such an intense match!" Sora commented.

"Tokage's Quirk is so unique..." Tsuyu commented from the stands.

"Yeah, you can do all kinds of things with it!" Kaminari mentioned.

"Not to mention that Kendo chick's fists." Reina whistled. "The power behind those things..."

"Man, all the matches so far have been so freakin manly." Kirishima commented as he clenched his fist. "I wonder if I can match them."

"Of course I now know you can, and you can prove it more in your match against Colossus Junior." The Green/Black Ranger snorted, nudging him with her shoulder.

"Yeah, I still have my fight to prepare for, it should be after these next two matches," Kirishima said.

["Now we're halfway through the first round!"] Mic announced. ["Time to start the second half of matches!"] he declared excitedly.

"Oh yeah, you're up next, Momo!" Cyrus realized, looking over to the Creation Quirk user.

"Right." Momo answered with a confident smile. "Wish me luck." 

"Good luck!" Ayumi told her.

 "You've got this, Yaomomo!" Toru joined in, pumping her fist.

"Hey Mimi..." Kiba began, getting Mina's attention as she looked over to him. "Shouldn't you be getting ready for your match?" He asked her.

"Oh, right!" She perked up in response, quickly shooting up to her feet and hurrying off. "Wish me luck, guys!" she exclaimed with a wave of her right hand.

"Knowing you, you won't need it," Kiba remarked, much to her surprise as she stopped for a moment. She then cracked a smile with a giggle, blushing bright red.

"Right! Come on, Yaomomo!" The pink-skinned girl exclaimed cheerfully, using the nickname that the class was starting to use, and started running to the exit. "We better get ready!" Momo quickly got up and ran after her.

In the meantime, some of the others stared over at the Yellow Ranger in shock.

"Mason, since when were you such a smooth talker?" Sero inquired, causing him to widen his eyes.

"Yeah man, that was like the coolest line any dude could say to a girl!" Kaminari noted with a wink, "A-plus on the flirting!" 

"That's nothing. You should've seen Mason and Ashido at the USJ during Rescue Training. They gave each other cute nicknames, like the one Mason called her before she left to get ready for her match; it was so cute!" Toru squealed.

"Tch, it wasn't that good..." Mineta grumbled in jealousy.

"Well, look at you, Romeo." Sora grinned in amusement, as Kiba rubbed his head embarrasingly.

["Now, let's not let this hot-streak cool down! Time to move on to the seventh match!"] Present Mic said on the microphone. Momo and Tokoyami were up next, approaching the stage and climbing up the stairs. Tokoyami stared at her with his permanent serious face and his arms crossed, and the Vice-Representative stared back at him with her left hand holding her right arm. ["Offense and defense in one! The dark samurai and his darker shadow! From the Hero Course: Fumikage Tokoyami! Versus...The great creator! She was also admitted because of recommendations and I think we can all see why! Also from Class 1-A, Momo Yaoyorozu!"]

"I wonder how this one will end? Any clue?" Ojiro turned to Izuku and asked.

"It's all about time." Izuku said, not taking his eyes off the stage.

 "But it depends what kind of weapon she would create to stand a chance against Tokoyami's Dark Shadow." Cyrus muttered.


This was on Momo's mind as well. Present Mic's description of Tokoyami's abilities was accurate. Dark Shadow granted him excellent skills in attacking and defending. Tokoyami was also able to call out the creature instantaneously, so she knows that he'll start the match with a preemptive strike. But she can block him if she makes a simple shield. Momo will have to be fast about it or else this fight will be over in a matter of seconds. Just like that. Then if she had enough to make a weapon...

["Seventh match: BEGIN!"]

Momo gasped, not ready for the sudden start of the match. And it was all downhill for Momo.

Tokoyami summoned Dark Shadow and the creature attacked Momo, who formed a shield just in time block its claw attack. As Dark Shadow flew upwards, the busty young woman started to form a weapon to attack, only for Dark Shadow to turn back around. Slashing against her shield with enough force to push Momo back. Unable to focus on her Quirk, Momo was vulnerable against another attack that threw her shield off her arm. Quickly, she summoned another one. She yelled when the creature slammed into her again. Sending her further back.

Her feet came to a stop and Momo winched from the pain in her arm. Staring at Tokoyami, she saw that he'd stopped Dark Shadow from attacking. But why? Seeing her chance, Momo summoned a metallic staff.

"Yaoyorozu!" Midnight yelled on, pointing her whip at the girl. "You're out!" Momo gasped in shock. She was out? Looking down, she gasped again when she saw that her right foot was on the other side of the white line. "This match goes to Tokoyami!"

After having Dark Shadow return to him, Tokoyami bowed his head in respect. He turned and walked off the stage for the next match.

["Talk about an overwhelming and fast victory. Looks like you've got several powerhouses in your class, Eraser Head!"] Mic told his fellow commentator while the crowd cheered loudly.

Momo stood there for a moment. Her hyper-intelligent brain was working into overtime to process what had just happened. That match ended even before she could have a chance to do anything. What did she do wrong? What did he do right? All that she could feel at that moment was defeat, sadness, frustration, and hopelessness.

"...I...lost. I didn't even...I didn't even do anything." She murmured, looking down in depression.


"Holy crap..." Reina looked at the field with wide eyes at one of the most discouraging matches she's ever witnessed. 

"Tokoyami's Quirk was too amazing. He was able to force Yaoyorozu out of bounds just by focusing his attacks on her shield. He might not have been trying to hurt her, but if it was that easy for him to beat her, how can any of us manage to stand against him. If I considered...." Izuku muttered, jotting down notes in his notebook before a hand was placed on his shoulder.

"Dude, take it easy. Don't overthink it." Kiba told Izuku.

"My bad habit strikes again." Izuku said with a sweat drop down the back of his head.

"Still...she must feel really frustrated." Ayumi said, furrowing her brows together in sympathy.

 Seeing how sad, powerless, and disappointed in herself the black-haired beauty appeared as she walked out of the arena, Cyrus felt something stir within him. Shooting out of his seat, Cyrus ran as fast as he could down towards the gateway Momo entered. He didn't think. He didn't notice the odd looks he got from his classmates. 

Sora had a feeling as he smiled knowingly at the direction his friend went.


All alone in an empty hallway, Momo sat against the wall, mouth covered by a hand to stifle her sobbing as tears flowed down her face. Never in a long time has she broken down like this. Her pride was crushed and her confidence was lost in her own abilities. Born into a rich family, Momo was expected to carry on the family name as a great Hero herself. This was something that the girl knew, but was willing to do it because that's what she wanted. To be a Hero.

Now, she was all alone, crying, hopeless, feeling she has become more than a failure.

Suddenly, a footstep rang throughout the hallway, making Momo jump. She thought that no one would've come down the hallway, as it wasn't used by anyone. Someone was bound to come looking for her, but it happened sooner than she thought.

"Momo."

Momo was even more shocked when it wasn't Jiro or any of the other girls in her class. It was Cyrus who approached her, and squatted down next to her. "Hey, um...you mind if I-I sit down with you for a moment?" He asked softly, albeit shyly.

Momo stared at him for a moment, before nodding without responding. Cyrus quickly turned his back to face the wall and sat down next to Momo. Only a foot apart from each other. He didn't know how to help a girl who was crying. He didn't even know where to start. "Are you..." He stopped himself and shook his head. What was he thinking? Of course she wasn't ok.

"Momo, believe me when I say I know how you feel right now." He said, looking at the floor. Momo looked at him and then his hand as he balled it into a fist. Just seeing it let her know that he was talking about her fight with Tokoyami. "I don't mean losing...That feeling that you're nothing but a disappointment. It's something I've felt for most of my life, until I met Sora and the others. But that feeling isn't something you of all people should feel, Momo."

Cyrus turned his head to look at her. Momo was staring at him, giving him her attention. So, he continued as he held up his Morpher.

"I mean if you take away my Morpher, I'm nothing really special. I'm just a Quirkless kid with a big brain. You've got it all to be a great Hero. You've got an amazing Quirk, you're incredibly smart, and are cool even under pressure! You even pointed out everyone's strengths and flaws during the Battle Trials. You are incredible!" Cyrus exclaimed, waving his arms around ecstatically as he explained to her. He calmed down for a moment, dropping his arms on his knees and chuckled. "Sorry. I'm just glad you don't have the same ego as Bakugo's. Then again, he's one of a kind."

That got a shaky, teary laugh out of Momo. Either way, a laugh was a laugh, and Cyrus just had to keep it up. But this time he'll give her something that he believed would mean more to her than what he's already said now.

"Momo, have you ever heard of a philosopher named Viktor Frankl?" Cyrus asked, to which Momo brushed away some of her tears and shook her head. "Well, there's this one quote from him that's super famous, and it helped me in so many ways."

"'We must never forget that we may also find meaning in life even when confronted with a hopeless situation, when facing a fate that cannot be changed. For what then matters is to bear witness to the uniquely human potential at its best, which is to transform a personal tragedy into a triumph, to turn one's predicament into a human achievement.'"

Cyrus looked to her, as she stared at him with wide eyes by those words. He then finished the quote.

"'When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.'"

Momo continued to stare at him with eyes widened with tears still flowing. This was the longest conversation Cyrus has ever been in with Momo or any other girl, besides Ayumi and Reina. But he was more than certain that she understood what he was saying.

He cleared his throat.

"...Anyways, I just wanted to share that with you." He stood up to his feet. "I'll let you be-"

Momo suddenly shot up to her feet, slammed into his front, and wrapped her arms around his neck in a hug. She cried into his shoulder, Cyrus felt the tears on his skin and clothing. Though his body stiffened when he felt her large breasts press against him and his face became red like a tomato, but he looked past it and forced his body to move and hugged her back.

With her face pressed against his body, she said in a muffled voice. "Thank you."

"You don't have to thank me." Cyrus said with a smile. The two of them separated, slightly blushing, with Momo having stopped crying. She was smiling again, no longer clouded with disappointment.

Cyrus perked up at something "Oh, there's something important I've been meaning to tell you! Do you remember the offer you made to me during Rescue Training at the USJ?" 

Momo blinked at this as she whipped her tears. "About my offer for my family supporting your team?" She asked, getting a nod in return.

"I would love to accept it." The Blue Ranger replied.

The dark-haired beauty's eyes lit up at the answer. "R-Really?"

Cyrus had a small smile on face before it turned into a frown. "Sorry I didn't give you my answer earlier." He replied sadly, and after seeing Momo look at him in confusion with a raised eyebrow, he explained himself. "Originally, I was going to accept your offer after hearing it during Rescue Training, but with everything that's happened from then until now..." 

"No, no!" Momo waved her arms out. "No need to apologize! I understand, there was a lot going on at the time and now." She told him before placing her hand on her chest. "But I'm happy that you accepted my offer. It would be an honor to support you and the others."

Cyrus smiled at the girl, charmingly and said. "That's good to know, Momo."

Momo blushed at the smile before clearing her throat. "Pardon me, but I-I have to go to the little girls' room to clean myself up before I head back to the stands."

Cyrus nodded awkwardly before gesturing behind him. "R-Right. I'll head back and let everyone know you're okay."

"Thank you."

With that, Cyrus turned and ran away towards the stands as Momo headed towards a bathroom.

As she walked down the hallway, Momo couldn't get Cyrus out of her head. Of all the people she's met at UA, he continued to be the one that stuck out the most to her and it wasn't just because he had the strangest power she'd ever seen.

Cyrus may think that he's a nobody without his powers, but the more Momo got to know him, the more she saw what really made him so special.

He was one of the nicest, caring, smartest, and bravest people around. As well as being able to adapt on the fly under any circumstances. Perhaps, that's why he was chosen as the Class Rep. But she could tell he wasn't perfect, as he had flaws like everyone. But he still pushed forward regardless.

Just like everyone with the exception of Bakugo and, maybe, Todoroki, Momo was impressed by him. To her, Cyrus Hado, her friend, her...growing crush, was a shining example of a true hero.


Command Chamber

Solon was looking through several controls when she received a signal. "Huh. Well, this is odd." 

 Hearing this, Katrina and Alpha both went over to her. "What is?" The latter asked.

 The Solonosaurus pointed to the controls. "I'm detecting a strange energy reading, coming from the city." She informed.

 Katrina raised an eyebrow. "Alien bio-signs?" 

 "No, more like... a Ranger energy reading." Solon revealed, shocking the pair.

 Alpha waved his hands. "But, I thought the Rangers were in the stadium, taking part in the Sports Festival."

At that moment, Katrina performed a wide-area scan of the city to locate all 5 of the Rangers.  "Yeah, you're right..." She began, only to blink. "Wait, what? According to my scans, this other Ranger energy reading looks... corrupted." 

"What do we do?" Solon questioned.

The A.I being narrowed her eyes. "Alpha, call the Rangers while Solon and I try to determine its exact coordinates." 

"Right. I'm on it." Alpha nodded, making his way over to a panel and put out an alert. 


Sports Festival - Stadium

Once again, the flames ignited in all four corners of the ring. Everyone focused on the stage as they saw Mina and Aoyama walking out onto it for the next battle. ["We're going to march right along to the eighth match! Let's hope that the belly belt serves that kind of purpose; It's Yuga Aoyama from the Hero Course!"] 

["Versus..."]

["Is there some kind of purpose for those things sticking out of her head? From the same class; Mina Ashido!"]

After stretching her arms, she pointed at Aoyama and snickered. "This is going to be a piece of cake." She said confidently.

"I do believe you're going to be eating those words, mademoiselle." Aoyama said with his own confidence.


"Come on, Mina! You can do it!" Tsuyu cheered.

"Show him what you can do, girl!" Jiro also rooted for Mina.

Kiba pumped his fist in the air with a big grin. "Kick his ass!"

Mina looked at him when she heard him and nodded with a smirk. He knew that she was taking what he said to heart, and so he didn't have to worry too much for her.

"Don't show her any mercy, Aoyama!" Mineta suddenly shouted with pride and determination of his own. Confusing the others around him. "FIGHT LIKE YOU'RE IN ONE OF THOSE VIDEO GAMES WHERE EVERYONES' CLOTHES GETS BEATEN OFF!"

"I'll gladly beat you into the ground if you don't shut up, pervert!" Reina snapped at the little boy with her comical shark teeth.

"Naval Laser vs Acid. Wonder who's going to win?" Ayumi asked.

"If Ashido can dodge Aoyama's laser, than she'll win." Izuku answered, flipping through his notebook. "Considering that Ashido's quirk is acid, then Aoyama is already at a disadvantage."

"Acid eats through anything it comes into contact with. Metal, flesh, wood, stone; makes you wonder how many other acid users are out in the world." A voice spoke out, causing everyone to see Cyrus standing at the staircase.

"Hado? Where you've been?" Sato asked as the Blue Ranger approached his seat. "You just took off."

"I just got back from talking with Momo." Cyrus informed as he sat down.

Jiro looked worried. She saw the fight and knew how badly her friend lost. "How's she doing?"

"She's doing fine for now, but that loss clearly left her depressed and disappointed in herself. I only hope what I said to her can cheer her up."

Sora looked back at him with a grin. "Knowing you, it definitely did."

"Off topic, anyone think that pinky is part xenomorph?" Reina joked.

"If she was, then we'd already be infected with those things that burst out of our chests, what are they called again?" Kaminari asked.

"Chest bursters." The other students of Class A said at once.

["Now, let's get this real fight started! Fifth match, BEGIN!"]

Aoyama fired his Naval Laser at Mina, but she easily jumped over it. She then used her Acid on her feet to skate along the field. First, she had to tire him out, and Mina was easily dodging the laser beams.

As he watched her, Kiba couldn't stop staring at her moving figure. He wasn able to see her in action a bit during the Battle Trials, but now he was watching her in her full glory. The way she moved was breathtaking and it was like watching an ice skater. But she wasn't just all for show. After dodging each attack, Mina was starting to close the distance when Aoyama's stomach started to ache.

The chance for Mina to strike came after Aoyama fired a much larger beam. The pink-skinned girl was able to dodge it. Seizing the moment, she threw a shot of ache at the belly belt, melting it to where it wasn't able to be used anymore.

And it also dropped his pants.

He tried to get them back on when Mina skied up to him. For her finishing move, she uppercutted Aoyama in the jaw with an unexpected strength, knocking him out before falling on his back.

"Aoyama has fainted!" Midnight announced to the crowd, swinging her whip to Mina. "The winner of this match is Ashido!" The crowd cheered and cameras flashed as pictures were taken. Mina gave the crowd double peace signs with a big grin on her face.

"WOOO! Way to go, Mimi! That was awesome!" Kiba cheered while Mineta cried about seeing Aoyama's tighty-whities and not Mina's panties as he fantasized. He knew that she could do it, but never expected her to be this amazing. Then again, she did place fourteenth out of the class in the Quirk assessment test. He watched as Aoyama was taken to the infirmary and Mina giggled sheepishly about maybe going overboard.

She has great power, but she won because of her physical strength.

Suddenly, the Rangers heard their morphers beeping, startling everyone.

"What in the world was that?" Sato asked looking around.

"Are we being attacked again!?" Mineta panicked in terror.

"Relax guys, it's just our Morphers," Reina told them, holding up her arm where said device resided.

"Come on." Sora said, as he got up to move for the exit.

"Sorry. We have to take this." Ayumi apologized, standing up too.

Kiba gave a thumbs up. "Yeah, we won't take long."

Soon, the Rangers jogged out of the stands as the class looked on in confusion.

"What was that about?" Kaminari questioned.

"Wait, they said they had a mentor!" Toru recalled. "Maybe that's it."

Bakugo remained quiet as he scowled at the direction that the Rangers went in anger, with his hands clenching into fists at his sides. With a click of his teeth, he stood up from his seat and stormed out of the stands on the other side. 

"Hey, Bakugo! Where are you going, man?" Kirishima called out.

"None of your damn business, Shitty Hair!" The ash blonde threw out as he disappeared around the corner.


With the Rangers

The HF team had moved into the corridor and, after making sure they were alone, huddled together.

"What's up, Alpha?" Sora asked, answering his Morpher.

"Rangers, Katrina needs you at the Command Center." Alpha explained. "It's urgent."

"Right. we're on our way." Reina told Alpha.

Ayumi blinked at something. "But wait. What about you, Sora?"

"You guys go on ahead without me."  The Red Ranger told them.

 Kiba raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure, man?"

Sora nodded. "I mean, there's the fact that I'm still taking part in the Tournament." 

 Cyrus hummed in thought: "He's got a point. If Sora's with us, then there's a possibility that he'll be disqualified from Tournament if he doesn't show up for his matches." He informed.

 "See? I know you guys can do this one without me; I have faith in all of you. Especially you, Reina." Sora looked over at his second in command.

 Reina smirked with her arms folded. "You can count on me to keep these guys safe." 

"Good luck with the Tournament." Cyrus added, giving a thumbs up. 

"Yeah, kick some ass and blow people's socks off, buddy!" Kiba added, offering a fistpump that Sora accepted with his own. "Hopefully, we'll make it back before the end!"

Ayumi walked up to Sora and gave him a quick, but warm hug, surprising the Red Ranger. "Go get 'em." Ayumi whispered before she separated from the hug and joined back with the other Rangers.

Sora snapped back to reality and replied with a nod. "Thanks, Ayu. And don't worry, I got this." After that, he turned and headed back to the bleachers where his class is at.

Making sure that no one was watching them, they all then pressed their Morphers and teleported away.


Command Chamber

The four Rangers then appeared within the center of the chamber where Katrina and Solon were waiting for them as Alpha was typing away at the computer.

"Yo!" Kiba called out in greeting, getting the trio's attention.

"Right on time." Katrina smiled towards them.

"Apologies for calling you all away from the Sports Festival, but this was urgent." Solon explained to them, only to see someone was missing. "Where's Sora?"

"He stayed behind to focus on the tournament." Ayumi informed.

"Right." Reina stepped forward with a hand on her hip. "The four of us can handle whatever Alsatia throws at us."

"So, what's going on?" Cyrus asked.

Katrina floated over to the group. "Before Alpha called you four here, Solon detected a strange Ranger energy reading coming from the city. And by 'strange', I mean that it looked... corrupted."

After that, have the Rangers be confused by what Katrina said. "Ranger energy?" Ayumi blinked.

"Corrupted?" Reina finished.

 "Do you know where it is in the city?" Kiba questioned the trio.

 The cyborg dinosaur smiled proudly. "Good thing you asked, because I just got a lock on its location! It seems to be in the Warehouse District."

"This has Scrozzle and Alsatia's names written all over it." Cyrus muttered with narrowed eyes.

Reina huffed in annoyance. "Of course they would try something like that while most of the Pros are busy watching the Sports Festival."

"But, aren't people gonna ask why we're not at the Sports Festival?" Kiba asked, looking around.

"Fear not." Katrina said to the Rangers. "I've already informed Nezu about the situation and he's given you all permission to investigate it- as long as you can keep whatever this is away from the stadium."

"Sounds good to me." Ayumi nodded with a confident smile.

"So, while Cap's fighting in the tournament, we'll be dealing with this 'Evil' Ranger energy." Kiba said.

"Fighting on two fronts, huh?" Reina smirked.

"In that case, let's get going, guys." Cyrus said, walking forward.

They all moved and formed a line, from left to right, Ayumi, Cyrus, Reina and Kiba.

"It's Morphin Time!" They shouted as they all raised their armed wrists by their heads.

The team, in unison, pressed the red Morph button on their morphers, causing them to start glowing black, blue, yellow, and pink. They then thrusted their left arms out together. "Call of the Hero!" The team called in unison as they pulled their left arms back and used their right hands to spin the Morphers' top half at the same time.


(Morph sequence)

The screen split into four, Reina in the top left, Cyrus in the top right, Kiba in the bottom left, and Ayumi in the bottom right. The backgrounds change to their respective elemental terrain as their Zords appeared in front of the Rangers. They all flew forward with ease, merging with their Zords, creating their Ranger suits around them from neck to feet. They all somersaulted through the air before landing in their positions, then their helmets appeared on them. Then they performed their poses as their elements burst behind them.

"Hero Force Rangers!" they shouted.

(End morph sequence)


"I never get tried of that." Alpha said, as they stood at ease. "Now, go, go Power Rangers!"

The Rangers all touched their Hero Morphers, then held up their right hands and teleported away, ready to fight and defend the city.

To Be Continued...

Stadium Hallways

"Oh man, that's what happens when you have too much to drink on a hot day. And it's supposed to still be spring. Feels way too hot to be spring." Sora groaned, stepping out of the bathroom.

While Sora was heading back to his class after Reina and the others left for the Command Chamber, he had to take a little detour to the boys' restroom because he drank way too much water while watching the matches. Apparently, his little detour took him longer than he expected. 

"I hope Kirishima and Tetsutetsu are still brawling it out before I get back, otherwise I'm blaming myself for missing it," Sora said to himself as he continued on his way back to the bleachers where his class is at. "And that means...the next match is between Ochaco and Bakugo."

"Huh, Sora?" 

Hearing his name, the Red Ranger turned around to see Izuku coming his way.

"Oh, hey man." Sora nodded. "What's up?"

The freckled teen noticed that the other Rangers weren't around. "Where are the others?" 

"Well, there was an emergency call so they had to go while I focus on the Festival." Sora explained. "What about you?"

"Oh, I'm going to check on Uraraka, considering she's going up against Kacchan." Izuku grimaced at the thought. 

"Yeah..." Sora nodded in agreement.  "In that case, I'll go with you as well. Since Iida isn't back, she might be with him."

"R-Right..." Nodding, the two began to make their way through the corridor and towards the Player Waiting rooms.


"Haah... I got played." Iida sighed as he entered the door, a minute before Sora and Izuku would arrive. Unexpectedly, Ochaco was waiting inside the room.

"Oh! Good work, Iida." The brunette congratulated the Engine user.

"Oh, Urarak—Eh? What's the matter?! Your brow's all wrinkled!" He suddenly yelled.

"My brow?" The Zero Gravity user questioned, before blinking back to her usual expression as Iida closed the doorway. "O-Oh... It's just my nerves. Must've reached my brow."

"Ah... That's quite understandable in your case. After all, you're going against Bakugo." Iida chuckled nervously. "You've got a rough time ahead of you."

"Well... Not just that." The brunette sighed a little. "But even if I somehow manage to win, I doubt that I could win the upcoming battles. I'm just...scared of what's coming up, I guess."

"Hmm... From what I could tell before my own performance against Hatsume, the winners so far consisted of Midoriya, Todoroki, and Ukashi. Whoever would win between those three will have to face a hard time afterwards." Iida started to remember.

"Yeah... But you know, after seeing a match like yours, Iida..." Ochaco then looked up with a small growing smile.

"Like mine? All I was doing was being scapegoated into Hatsume's advertising though." The Engine user admitted with a little shame.

"Yeah, but you still gave it your all!" Ochaco argued.

Before Iida could respond once again, the two heard the door behind them opening, revealing Sora and Izuku.

"Uraraka!" The latter called out.

"Yo!" Sora greeted.

"Deku! And Sora as well?" The Zero Gravity user responded with a mildly amused look.

"Huh? Don't you two want to watch the others' matches?" Iida asked the two as they entered the room.

"To be honest, most of them ended pretty quickly. Kirishima's now facing that Tetsutetsu guy for the ninth round at the moment." Sora explained as he closed the door. "No biggie."

"Then the next is..." The brunette tensed up again. "It's almost time."

"But still, I don't think even Bakugo would use a full-powered explosion on a girl." Iida tried to protest, though Izuku and Sora quickly shook their heads.

"If you think that for a moment that he'd hold back, you'd be surely mistaken, Iida." Sora first said.

"Yep. He definitely would." Izuku muttered, which made Iida and Uraraka shake a little. "Everyone's trying to become number one in order to make their dreams come true. Even if it's not Kacchan, no one would think about holding back in such a competition like this. Shinso didn't against me and then, there's your upcoming match with Sora."

"Right, I almost forgot to reconsider that," Iida said as he looked towards the Red Ranger. "After what you did to Monoma, I must admit that I'm a bit anxious."

"Meh, that guy got off easy with two love taps." Sora waved off. "I'm saving my strength of a real fight."

"So..." Izuku began as he cleared his throat as he showed Ochaco his notebook. "Over this semester, you've helped me a bunch, Uraraka. That's why I thought that maybe I could help you a little." He offered. "A plan to use your Quirk against Kacchan—It's a bit out of place, but it should help in the long run."

"This guy's quite the brainac, like another one I know." Sora nudged the green-haired teen.

"You did such a thing?! Uraraka, isn't that great?" Iida applaud the duo.

"Well... Thanks, Deku." Ochaco thanked, though she seemed to be a little reluctant. "But... It's fine."

"Huh?" Both Iida and Midoriya blinked.

"How come?" Sora asked.

"That's the thing about you three. Deku, you're amazing most of all out of what I've seen so far honestly, and me and the others keep seeing more of those amazing sides."

And Ochaco breathed in.

"During the Cavalry Battle, I thought that it would be better to team up with friends, but then I learned that instead of just teaming up, I felt now that I must've been just relying on you. That's why... When Iida said that he'd challenge you, it actually made me feel a little embarrassed." She admitted as she stood up.

"Embarrassed?" Sora asked.

"...I didn't know, Uraraka." Izuku was a bit speechless by her honesty, as was Iida.

"That's why it's fine." The brunette then smiled as she began to walk past the trio of guys. "Everyone's facing the future and trying their hardest, so that means we're all rivals, right? So... Let's meet in the finals!"

"...You know, that'd actually be really badass if you weren't shaking." Sora gave the brunette a smirk as Ochaco's expression was revealed to be full of anxiety and excitement.

"H-Hey! Don't make my awe-inspiring speech go to waste!"


Musutafu, Japan - Warehouse District

Meanwhile, the four HF Rangers arrived at an abandoned warehouse via their Valiant Cycles and came upon a pile of rubble.

"Anybody see anything?" Ayumi asked, as they looked around.

"Nothing yet." Cyrus replied, as he looked at his Morpher. "Solon said the signal was coming from this direction."

"I hope this doesn't turn out to be a wild goose chase. I was really looking forward to seeing Uraraka and Bakugo's match." Kiba eagerly added.

"Then, how about you stop whining and help us look."  Reina suggested, pointing to her right. "Let's take a peek up there."

They began to walk where she pointed, when a platoon of 20 Batzlers showed up out of nowhere and surrounded them- several of them making odd noises. The Rangers all looked around at them, as they brought out their claws.

"Whoa, quite the welcoming party!" Kiba jokes.

"Then I suggest we crash it." Cyrus cut in, rolling his wrist.

The Batzlers all charged at the Rangers, who then charged back and began to fight them.

Ayumi dodged as one tried to whack her with its claw, and then she grabbed and twisted its hand. Cyrus fought past one, then grabbed another's arm, then he twisted it while getting behind it. Reina sent a fly kick at one, hitting its claw slightly, then she got behind it, and then ducked as it turned to hit her.

Kiba grabbed one's arm as it tried to punch him, before punching it in the chest, knocking it back, then he spun around to kick it, but missed as it dodged. Reina dodged one's kick, then blocked a punch from it with her forearm, before punching it in the belly, and then she sent a fly kick at it, missing as it dodged.

Cyrus kicked one's blade, knocking it back slightly, then he spun around to kick another, but missed as it ducked. He then kicked it in the chest, then pulled his leg to the right to kick a third.

Ayumi somersaulted over several grunts as one fired a laser from its blade, and then she rolled forward upon landing. She then knocked another's claw down with her Brave Blaster, and then hit it in the chest with her forearm. She then turned to a third and fired her blaster, hitting it and making it fall onto its chest, and then she turned around and fired again, hitting a fourth.

Reina blocked one's blade with her Brave Blaster in its sword mode, then they both pulled back, before she kicked it in the chest. She then turned around and dodged another's blade as it tried to hit her, before she slashed it in the chest with her sword, knocking it onto its back. She then did a backwards handspring to avoid a third's blade, before she turned and slashed a fourth across the chest.

Kiba kicked one as it came at him, knocking it down, and then he twirled his blaster around.

"Whoo!" he whooped, somersaulting sideways to his right as another tried to hit him with its blade.

He fired his blaster before landing, hitting a third in the chest, making it fall onto its chest.

"CHEWY BOY!" he grinned, twirling his blaster.

"Let's bring out the heavy hitters!" Reina called out.

"Right!"

They all brought out their Hero Weapons in digitized bursts of light before engaging the enemy again.

Aymui whacked one's chest with her Sky Bowgun, followed by another, before she turned around, then backed away, before shooting a third down with it.

Reina charged and sent a slash at two with her Terra Axe, but missed as they dodged while she ran past them, then turned slightly as one grabbed the end of it. She ducked and moved back as it tried to punch her, before she slashed it up the chest.

Kiba ducked as one tried to punch him, before he stabbed its chest with his Savanna Claws, knocking it back, then he turned and slashed another down the chest with it.

Cyrus tried to stab one with his Sea Lance as it charged at him, but missed as it ran past him, then he spun around and turned, then stabbed another's chest.

Soon, all the Batzlers were destroyed within moments.

"Looks like that was all of them." Reina noted as they gathered together.

"Yeah, but I thought Solon said there were a Ranger signal nearby..." Ayumi said, looking around.

Cyrus hummed as he placed a finger near his helmet. "Hmm... I think the reason why Alsatia's Batzlers appeared is because it's possible that they knew that we were coming."

"Wait a minute." Kiba blinked in surprise. "Are you saying... that this was all a trap?!"

Before the Rangers could notify the Command Chamber about this revelation, a figure in white clothes suddenly dashed past them from behind, making them turn around.

"Did you guys see that?" Ayumi asked.

"No, but I heard something." Reina answered.

The figure then knocked Ayumi over while dashing past her, then another did the same to Reina, then another did the same to Cyrus, then another did the same to Kiba.

"Ah!" they yelped.

They fell onto their backs, as the figure dashed by them.

"Ah!" The Rangers moaned.

"What was that?" Kiba groaned as the team sat up and looked around.

"I didn't see anything." Cyrus asked.

"Me neither." Ayumi said.

At that moment, a figure walked into view as they appeared in front of the Rangers.

"Look harder." the figure said, with a deep voice.

The Rangers all looked and, much to their shock, saw a Ranger, but not just any Ranger, it was the White Dino Thunder Ranger. He stepped out from behind a crane with a devious sneer.

"The hell!?" Reina gasped, as the Rangers climbed up to their feet.

"No way!" Kiba blinked. "Is that...?"

"The White Dino Ranger!" Ayumi blurted out in shock. "But...that's impossible. I still have the abilities and the Legendary Mode of the White Ranger!"

Cyrus' eyes widened in realization. "Unless... that's the evil White Ranger clone that Zeltrax created for Mesogog!"

"And you must be the Rangers I was told about." The evil Ranger huffed. "You might not be the Rangers I know, but you're still my enemy. Now, let's see if you're as strong as the others."

He then readied his sword and held it up. "White Drago Sword." he said, twirling it around, then slashed it repeatedly in front of him, making a bunch of laser arrows.

"Laser Arrows." he said.

He held his sword up as the arrows aimed at the Rangers.

"Huh?" they gasped.

"Whoa!" Kiba said.

"Not good." Ayumi gulped.

"Fire!" The evil Ranger shouted, pointing his sword forward.

"Look out!" Cyrus cried out just as the laser arrows shot towards the team. Luckily, the four Rangers managed to dodge the attack as it hit their previous spot.

"Ha, that all you got?" Reina scoffed, sitting up.

"That was just a warning." The evil Ranger said, slashing his sword down. "I've only just started."

"Hyah!" Cyrus and Kiba yelled.

They and Ayumi all charged at the enemy Ranger, who brought out his Drago Sword.

"Fools." he smirked, moving to attack, but Ayumi and Cyrus moved out of the way, while Kiba blocked a slash. Reina then blocked a slash, then spun around and tried to kick him, but missed as he ducked, then he slashed Reina with his sword.

Ayumi moved behind the evil Ranger with her Sky Bowgun. "I got him!" she said, taking aim at the Ranger clone.

Cyrus then tried to kick him, only for the clone Ranger to block it with his hand, before slashing him.

"AH!" Cyrus moaned, hitting the ground.

"Sky Bowgun, fire!" Ayumi yelled as she fired her weapon, hitting the White Ranger several times in the back.

"Uh!" he growled and turned his gaze to the Pink Ranger.

Ayumi then fired again as the White Ranger turned and launched towards her, then he kicked her Sky Bowgun to the side.

"Uh!" she grunted.

She ducked as the White Ranger tried to slash her, then he grabbed her fist as she tried to punch him, before punching her in the chest.

"OH!" she moaned.

He then kicked her in the chest, sending her flying to the ground.

"AGHH!" she moaned, hitting some rubble. "Uh!"

Kiba then tried to slash him with his claws, but the Ranger blocked both sets of claws with his sword, before slashing Kiba. He then jump kicked the Yellow Ranger, right before Reina and Cyrus came up behind him.

"AH!" Kiba moaned.

The White Ranger turned around and tried to kick Reina, who rolled over to avoid it, before blocking Cyrus' lance with his sword. He then hit Cyrus slightly with the end of his sword, making the Blue Ranger spin around, before he slashed Cyrus, knocking him down. Reina then tried to smack him with her axe, only for the White Ranger to block it by with his sword, who then pulled away, making her flip forward onto the ground. Reina quickly got back up, before the White Ranger slashed her, knocking her back down, making her roll away.

"Reina!" Ayumi shouted.

"Are you okay?" Cyrus asked, as the others regrouped around her.

"Weaklings." The White Ranger scoffed.

The Rangers all pulled themselves up, as he laughed, resting his sword on his shoulder. He dashed towards them all quickly with his superspeed, then began to slash them all with his sword. He slashed Reina's chest twice in an X shape, then did the same with Cyrus, then Kiba, and then Ayumi, before he somersaulted away from them, before he landed crouched down.

"That's gotta hurt." he said, holding his left hand out, with his right near his chest.

"AHHH!" the Rangers moaned, as sparks came out of their chests.

They all fell down onto their chests, as the enemy Ranger got up and rested his sword on his shoulder.

"These are the Rangers I was told about?" The White Ranger spat. "Pathetic. I was expecting you four to put up a better fight than that."

"Please, that was just a sneak preview." Reina groaned out as she and the others pulled themselves up. "Cause, we're just getting started."

"Time to fight fire with fire!" The Black Ranger said as she lifted her Morpher. "Ready?"

"Ready!" The others called out as they followed Reina's actions.

The White Ranger, who witnessed this, tensed up at what the team was planning to do.

The Rangers spun the dial, right before a gumball-sized hologram of the Dino Charge logo, that consisted of a dinosaur skull with yellow teeth, floated on the dial's face.

"Legendary Ranger Mode, Dino Charge!" They called out before they slammed their dials down. Soon, a key appeared in each of their hands as it was revealed to be the Dino Charge Ranger Keys.

The team then held up their Dino Charge Ranger Keys before flicking them open. "Unleash the Power!" They called out before inserting the keys into their Morphers' slots and turned the keys, becoming engulfed in bursts of light.


(Morph sequence - Dino Charge)

The screen split into four, Kiba in the top left, Reina in the top right, Cyrus in the bottom left, and Ayumi in the bottom right.

A black energy Para head came out of Kiba's Morpher, while he was standing in a black void area with the Para head logo under his feet, as his body started to glow bright except for his head and hands. The Para head was flying around in the air and then started to flow near Kiba, until it came behind him and chomped its mouth down on him, forming a new Ranger suit before chomping again, forming the helmet on his head, completing the transformation.

A green energy Raptor head came out of Reina's Morpher, while she was standing in a black void area with the Raptor head logo under her feet, as her body started to glow bright except for her head and hands. The Raptor head was flying around in the air and then started to flow near Reina, until it came behind her and chomped its mouth down on her, forming a new Ranger suit before chomping again, forming the helmet on her head, completing the transformation.

A blue energy Stego head came out of Cyrus' Morpher, while he was standing in a black void area with the Stego head logo under his feet, as his body started to glow bright except for his head and hands. The Stego head was flying around in the air and then started to flow near Cyrus, until it came behind him and chomped its mouth down on him, forming a new Ranger suit before chomping again, forming the helmet on his head, completing the transformation.

A pink energy Tricera head came out of Ayumi's Morpher, while she was standing in a black void area with the Tricera head logo under her feet, as her body started to glow bright except for her head and hands. The Tricera head was flying around in the air and then started to flow near Ayumi, until it came behind her and chomped its mouth down on her, forming her Ranger suit before chomping again, forming the helmet on her head, completing the transformation.

"What!?" The White Ranger clone gasped in shock at the sight.

"Parasaur, Power Ranger Black!" Kiba shouted as the Parasaur symbol on his chest quickly appeared behind him and then a roaring Para Zord and Para Charger appeared right next to him, all while he was doing poses. He wore a black suit, but the arms had scales on them while wearing white gloves and boots. On his waist is a small belt buckle wrapped around him. On his chest was the Dino Charge logo, but on the left chest piece was the symbol for a Parasaur, and finally to top it off was a helmet with a Parasaur design, line teeth surrounding the rims and red eyes while a silver mouthpiece was on it.

"Stegosaurus, Power Ranger Blue!" Cyrus shouted as the Stegosaurus symbol on his chest quickly appeared behind him and then a roaring Stego Zord and Stego Charger appeared right next to him, all while he was doing poses. He wore a blue suit, but the arms had scales on them while wearing white gloves and boots. On his waist is a small belt buckle wrapped around him.

"Velociraptor, Power Ranger Green!" Reina shouted as the Velociraptor symbol on her chest quickly appeared behind her and then a roaring Raptor Zord and Raptor Charger appeared right next to her, all while she was doing poses. She wore a green suit, but the arms had scales on them while wearing white gloves and boots. On her waist is a small belt buckle wrapped around her and a skirt. On her chest was the Dino Charge logo, but on the left chest piece was the symbol for a Velociraptor, and finally to top it off was a helmet with a Velociraptor design, sharp teeth surrounding the rims and red eyes while a silver mouthpiece was on it.

"Triceratops, Power Ranger Pink!" Ayumi shouted as the Triceratops symbol on her chest quickly appeared behind her and then a roaring Tricera Zord and Tricera Charger appeared right next to her, all while she was doing poses. She wore a pink suit, but the arms had scales on them while wearing white gloves and boots. On her waist is a small belt buckle wrapped around her with a holder for the Morpher and a skirt.

Then, the Rangers slammed their right hands down on the ground perfectly together before posing again.

"Dinosaur might, ready to fight! Power Rangers Dino Charge!" The Hero Force Rangers shouted as a giant explosion occurred behind them with the Dino Charge logo appearing as well.

The White Ranger clone was stunned by this development, but snapped out of his stupor. "Neat trick, but it will take a lot more than a mere costume change to beat me." He declared.

"We'll see about that, cause it's about to get wild!" Reina retorted back as both sides prepared for Round 2.


Sports Festival - Stadiuim

"Kirishima and Tetsutetsu are both knocked out cold! In the case of a draw, after they recover, the winner will be determined by a simple contest, like arm wrestling!"

That was what Midnight said as Sora, Iida, and Izuku returned out to the audience. They could see Kirishima and Tetsutetsu both with bloody noses and lying unconscious as they were being carried out by stretchers, which served to be a bit amusing if anything to Sora.

"Their abilities were the same, too?" One Hero in the audience chuckled.

"Hey, I like passionate guys like those. They're inspiring. I'd like a sidekick like that, wouldn't you?" Another asked one next to him.

["So, while we wait for Kirishima and Tetsutetsu to recover, let's start the next match!"] Present Mic announced as the monitors flickered to show the next match up.

"Here we go..." Izuku mumbled as Bakugo's and Uraraka's portraits appeared.

"Ribbit, this might be the most disturbing match we see yet." Asui said in a low tone.

"Sheesh... I almost don't want to watch." Jiro admitted as she shook her shoulders. "I'm getting goosebumps."

["So, here we have the ninth and final match of the first round! Let's introduce these fine folks!"]

["He was kinda famous in middle school, and hey, this isn't the face of a normal person! From the Hero Course—Katsuki Bakugo!"]

["VERSUS!"]

["This gal is the one that I'm rooting for, our floaty surprise! From the Hero Course—Ochaco Uraraka!"]


'Uraraka...' Iida gulped.

"I know you guys are worried, but that's the hero life." Sora said, getting everyone's attention. He then saw Ochaco walking out toward the arena. "Once we go out into the world, no one's gonna take it easy on us. This is a good way for us to prepare for the harshness of reality."

Izuku knew Sora had a point. After the USJ attack, he saw firsthand how ruthless villains could be. This is Ochaco's chance to brace for that.

'...Do your best!' He also gulped as Present Mic started the match.


"...You're that girl that makes things float, right, Pink Cheeks?" Bakugo asked in a seemingly menacing tone.

"P-Pink Cheeks?" The brunette sweat dropped.

"If you're going to withdraw, you should do it now." The blond called off. "Because if you don't, you're not going to walk away from this with just a simple "ouch", you hear me?"

This struck Ochaco a little of course, but she instead managed to keep her cool, just sweating a little while maintain a small glare on her opponent.


Back on the seat, Sora turned to Izuku. "Hey, Midoriya. What was the plan that you were going to tell her to use against King Explosion Murder?"

"King Explosion Murder?" Izuku was at first confused, but soon realized who he was talking about. "Oh, you mean Kacchan. Well, it actually wasn't much."

"What do you mean?" Iida wondered.

"Well, Kacchan's strong, no doubt about that. In a real close combat fight, he has almost no openings to exploit." The freckled teen started. "And the more he moves, the more he sweats. That adds more power to Explosion." 

"I see."

Izuku nodded. "Yeah. And he's pretty creative with his Quirk. He can use the blasts from his explosions to move around in the air...but if Uraraka manages to touch Kacchan and make him float, then she would have the upper hand."

"...That's going to be hard for her though." Sora simply said as they then looked down at the match.


["READY?!"]

["START!"]

Lunging down, Ochaco began to dash at Bakugo from the get-go with her arms ready to slap when she got close.

["A swift attack? Now that's unexpected!"] Present Mic yelled.

"Well, withdrawing ain't a choice, ya know!" Ochaco barked.


"Yes! Even if it's by accident, if she can touch him, she can make him float!" Izuku smiled nervously.

"Indeed! Bakugo won't want her to get close to him!" Iida agreed.

"That's why Kacchan won't want to evade. He'll want to counterattack!" The mop head then said as Bakugo aimed his palms.


"...If that's how you want to go, then so be it." The blonde then exhaled as he began to swing his right arm back.

'...There! If I can dodge his right then—'

Before Ochaco could get close however, instead of just sending a blast forward, Bakugo instead swung his arm in a low angle, sending an explosion in an arc that blew her away.


"Uraraka!" Both Iida and Midoriya yelled in concern.

"...So, he can take advantage of different angles and other kinds of attacks..." Sora hummed with narrowed eyes.

"D-Did he blast her at full-throttle?!" Mineta cringed.

"Even against a girl, you'll still fight and show no mercy, will you, Bakugo..." Tsuyu noted.


As the explosion's effect began to die out, Ochaco grumbled as she quickly got up from the shockwave. "Grr... Even if I knew the timing of his attacks, I couldn't react in time."

"Come at me if you can! I'll take care of you..." Bakugo challenged.

Dashing out from the smoke and headed towards the blond, Bakugo thought he saw Uraraka, so he immediately grabbed whatever came out and pushed it to the ground with an explosion.

"Don't underestimate me!" He roared.

As the second wave of smoke cleared out, it was then however that his eyes widened upon feeling what he pushed down. It wasn't Ochaco herself—It was her jacket! Quickly glancing back, Uraraka appeared out of the smoke with her arms ready to strike.

["Holy! She made her jacket float and used it as a decoy! She did it in an instant as well!"] Present Mic said with a tinge of surprise.

'If I can make him float now I'll—'

"Not good enough!" Bakugo however growled as he did a 180, spinning on his foot as he blasted her back with another explosion.

The brunette, while suffering from the shockwave, did manage to roll and recover quite quickly as she got back up to her feet within moments.


"He moved right after she saw her come out?!" Sero yelled.

"With that reaction timing of his, even a smokescreen doesn't do jack..." Kaminari added with an equal expression on his face. "With Ochaco not being able to activate her Quirk without touching him directly, she's at a direct disadvantage against his crazy reflexes."


"Again!" Ochaco growled as she dashed again.

"Too slow!" Bakugo however yelled again as he began an explosion.

Arcing his hand to swung in an underhand toss-like motion, his explosions dug into the ground for a second, before sending off a powerful shockwave that blasted Ochaco back once more.


"Ooof..." Sora had to admit. 'Though, she's been keeping so low to the ground since it started. What could she-wait...'


"...Where is she?" Bakugo muttered to himself as he tried to watched for any more sudden movements in this newly created smoke field.

"HOW ABOUT THIS?!" Yelling as she suddenly appeared at his back again, Bakugo in returned the gesture with another explosion. The crowd was beginning to get a little afraid of Uraraka's safety.


"Ochaco!" Tsuyu yelped in concern.

"Nope! I can't watch this anymore!" Jiro covered her face in fear.

"...Bakugo, don't tell me your interest run in that direc—"

"Shut your face, dude." Sora punched the midget away as he continued to watch. "Just take a look."


Everyone watched as Ochaco continued to come close to Bakugo, with the latter continuing to damage her and send her back with heartbreaking explosions. Little by little, the stage was getting destroyed, and the crowd more and more worried.

["U-Uraraka keeps attacking without rest... But this...ain't this..."] Even Present Mic was getting worried.

"HEY!" A Hero barked from the audience as he stood up. "How can you say that you want to be a Hero if you're being like that?! If there's such a huge difference in your abilities, then hurry up and send her out of bounds!"

Bakugo responded by sending Ochaco back with another timed explosion as more and more Heroes began to agree and speak out.

"Stop bullying and messing with the poor girl!"

"Yeah! Stop that!"

"Booo!"

"Don't you have any honor?!"


The audience was even starting to boo the Explosion user, something that Present Mic began to notice. ["There's a bunch of booing from the crowd... But, I honestly feel the same wa—OW! An elbow?! What're doing?!"]

["Hey... Was that a Pro saying that Bakugo is fooling around?"]

["Eh?"] Mic, as well as the crowd, was surprised to hear this teacher calling out to the crowd.

["How many years have you been a Pro?"]

["If you're saying that with a straight face, there's no point in you watching anymore, so go home! Go home, and look into changing careers!"]


"M-Mr. Aizawai?!" Izuku was shocked to hear him say such things.

"Ha... This guy gets it." Sora smiles as he leans back on his seat. "Just listen to him."

["Bakugo is being careful because he's acknowledged the strength of his opponent who has made it this far into the competition. It's because he's doing everything he can to win that he can't go easy on her or let his guard down."]


"...We're not finished." Bakugo narrowed his eyes as his most recent smokescreen dispersed, revealing Ochaco. 'She's still going... She's still not dead!'

Sora noticed Ochaco's current state. Her body was all bruised up and littered with smut and dirt, but he could still see a fierce look in her eyes as she stared back at Bakugo. 'Damn, she's got some serious fire. She'd made a helluva Ranger if things were different.'

" I think... It's about...time." Ochaco then said in between intakes of air, which alerted Bakugo.

"...For what?" He dared ask.

"...To thank you. For now letting your guard down..." She answered as she began to bring the palms of her fingers together.

"Huh?" He tilted his face.


"What does she mean by that?" Kendo wondered. In turn, Monoma of all people smiled as he folded his arms.

"Well, it can't be helped from where Bakugo is, but it's embarrassing for a Pro in the stands to start booing without noticing." He started.


"...She kept her body low as she advanced, making Bakugo concentrate attacks onto the stage's ground...storing weapons." Sora added from the other side with Class A.


"And then, she narrowed his field of vision with relentless attacks...to keep him from noticing the ever-so-growing rain that's right above him." The blond then looked up, as did his classmates.


"W-What the?" Mina stuttered. "All of those...!"


"I'M GONNA WIN THIS!"

Pressing her fingers together, Ochaco's expression softened slightly as she released Zero Gravity. The crowd could only watch with awe on their faces as all the rubble that resulted in Bakugo's explosions began to rain down on the stage right above him. Both Class A and Class B, minus Sora and Monoma, were shocked to see what seemed to be a meteor shower raining down onto the stadium.

["A-A METEOR SHOWER?!"] Mic yelped.

["You've should've kept notice of what was happening, you idiot."] Aizawa scolded.


"She had that kind of desperate plan up her sleeve?!" Izuku exclaimed. Even he was surprised to a T as to what the Zero Gravity user did.


"...Now!" Ochaco gritted her teeth as she ran for Bakugo again. 'With this much debris, whether he's evading or counterattacking, this time there will be an opening! And in that moment, I'll get close!'

Activating Zero Gravity on herself, she pressed her foot on the ground just long enough to give her a pushing start.

'I'll win! I'll win and be like Deku and the Power Rangers!'

That was what she thought was going to happen.

...However.

BOOM!

Aiming his left hand into the sky, Bakugo actually gripped his arm with his other one as his entire arm began to pop. Right as Ochaco was about to draw in and secure the kill, Bakugo released what appeared to be his most massive explosion yet.

It was so strong that it completely blew the girl away. That, and it pretty much decimated all of the incoming debris that was going to rain onto his head. The shockwave that occurred from this explosion was powerful enough to reach all the way to the stands, pushing people back down to their seats, and even some people beginning to fly off from the sheer force of this giant explosion.

Landing a few meters away from the boundary lines, Ochaco automatically released Zero Gravity as she struggled to get up. Panting as she did so, she began to hear Bakugo's footsteps coming forth from the giant smokescreen in front of her.

"...Since you're friends with Deku and those Spandex Extras, I thought that you were up to something." He revealed.

"W-With...one...shot...!" The brunette uttered with disbelief.

["B-Bakugo delivers an alarming explosion! He boldly blasted through Uraraka's secret plan!"] Present Mic finally recovered from his shock, even if by slightly.

"But..." Bakugo exhaled as his gripped his left arm, which was actually shaking as a result of the explosion's retaliation. "...That was close."

"...E-Even so...!" Ochaco growled as she stumbled to her feet. "Even if you weren't fazed by my plan..."

"...Good. Good! I'll acknowledge you, Uraraka! Let's get serious!" Bakugo grinned with excitement as he began to run at her. "Come!"

Ochaco tried to close her right hand into a fist. In her head, she thought that if Deku or the Rangers were in the ring and not her, then she was confident he'd never give up.

She turned around to rush at her opponent. To attack. To fight to the bitter end...

...But it wasn't to be.

Running out of adrenaline, her legs were the first to give out as Ochaco's body screamed in pain. Her skin was burning in so many places and her bones felt like they were cracking from being hit with the explosions. Everything was shutting down, as her body quit on her.

Bakugo gasped and stopped.

Ochaco collapsed on the floor from exhaustion.

["Uraraka's down!"] Present Mic announced.


"Uraraka..." Iida uttered under his breath.

"She passed her limited a long time ago..." Midoriya noted

"And it's finally coming to her now." Sora ended.


Her body twitched slightly. She tried to get up and keep going. But her body wouldn't listen to her. It was too much. She was past her limit. But Ochaco still had some fight left in her and tried to crawl to Bakugo.

"I-I can...do this...I-I can s-still fight..."

Bakugo prepared to counterattack.

"I can..." Ochaco said, her hair shadowing over her eyes as she desperately crawled forward. The promise that she made to her parents that day and their response played in her head.

She looked up at Bakugo, but that when her vision started to blur.

"I...I will become...a Hero...daddy..."

And then after fighting so hard, Ochaco finally succumbed to her exhaustion and blackout. Midnight stepped onto the ring and held up a hand that signaled for Bakugo to wait and stand down. Izuku fell onto his seat as he watched Nemuri examining Ochaco and saw that she was unconscious.

"Uraraka is K.O'ed. Bakugo advances to the second round!" She announced. The crowd cheered as Bakugo's face was displayed as the winner.

As soon as that was said, Sora had used his superhuman speed to move into the arena, startling many people in the crowd, as well as Midnight, the commentators, and class 1-A. A few of them were worried about what Sora was going to do, because they knew that Ochaco and his entire team were friends, and that the latter didn't like Bakugo very much at all. His eyes were on the downed girl as he stood in place for a few seconds, before he walked forward.

He took Ochaco's gym top, gently lifted the girl, put the top on her, then picked her up and started to carry her away. He turned his head to look back at Katsuki, his eyes held no emotion, so nobody could see them. No words were exchanged between the two, but they both knew what the other was thinking about them.

Sora continued walking as the crowd watched him, applauding his generosity, but he wasn't paying attention to any of it. 1-A was silent though, because they could all see that Sora wasn't smiling. Izuku and Iida both left their seats to go over to the nurse's office to see their friends.

["And that's it for the first round!"] Present Mic said, before sighing in disappointment. ["And I was really rooting for her. Oh yeah, and Bakugo's moving on."]

["You're supposed to be unbiased, you know,"] Aizawa said dryly.

["Let's try to forget that depressing outcome!"]

["Or not."]

["With that, the first round is complete! We're taking a quick break and then we're back with more matches!"]

To Be Continued...

 

 

Notes:

UA Stadium

When Sora was out of sight from the crowd, he used his speed to take his friend to Recovery Girl in almost an instant. He knocked on the door, and when the healing Hero answered it, Sora walked in and laid his friend on the bed.

After a few minutes, and a healing kiss from the nurse, Ochaco had opened her eyes. She didn't know where she was and tried to get up, getting herself off the bed, only to trip from the lack of energy she had. Luckily for her, Sora caught her fall. "Easy." He said. "You got a little more hurt than you thought."

She at first was glad that Sora was there to catch her, but then she realized where she was and then slowly pushed herself off of him and then sat on the bed again. "So I guess I lost?" She asked, sounding a slight bit sad.

The Red Ranger didn't even hesitate to answer. "You did, but damn ! You put up one heck of a fight." This caused the girl to look at him, seeing his warm, reassuring smile. "Seriously, that plan of yours took awhile for me to catch on to. And you came up with it all on your own too. Badass."

Ochaco was taken aback by Sora's words. He thought she was cool, even though she lost the fight? "Well maybe, but even so I still lost, so I have to train even harder if I want to show the world what I can do."

Sora placed a hand on her shoulder and said, "You've already done that. You showed the world that you're willing to fight against an opponent with insane power. You showed the world that you won't ever give up and fight to the end to achieve your goal. You showed the world that behind that cheery, bubbly smile of yours, is a tough strong girl who's not afraid of anything. Honestly, I think you'd made a great Power Ranger."

Ochaco felt...warm. The praise that she was getting from arguably, one of the best students in the Hero Course, the leader of the Power Rangers, was a bit overwhelming, even if they were friends. She put a smile on her face and then replied with, "Yeah. You're right, Sora. Even though I lost the fight, I showed the world what I can do, now I just need to train to show the world that I can do even better." That answer earned a thumbs up from her friend, making her do the same thing back to him.


Moving through the hallway, all Izuku could think about was Ochaco, feeling very sorry for the poor girl. He knew she was probably heartbroken about her loss.

"Uraraka...I'm so sorry," Izuku commented, continuing to walk to the waiting room.

"What the hell are you doing here!?" he heard Bakugo shout, surprising Izuku.

"Oh, Kacchan, um I'm up next so I'm going to the waiting room. Congrats on your win," Izuku nervously began walking when Bakugo called to him again.

"Was it your idea!?" Izuku turned to Bakugo, confused by his question. "That plan your friend came up with, it was something you'd come up with just to bust my balls. I swear if we meet-"

"You're wrong," Izuku interrupted. "I didn't know anything about her plan, so if you had trouble out there, then it was her strategy, not mine."

Bakugo snarled at the response and just made his way to the stands with Izuku continuing his walk to the waiting room. 

Bakugo just scoffed and continued his way back to the stands, grabbing a sports drink from the nearby cooler on his way, and taking a seat while ignoring the teasing from his classmates about attacking a frail girl with his full power, but to Bakugo, Ochaco was anything but frail. His mind, however, was focused on who his next opponent would be for the finals. 'Deku is already on my shitlist, but Spandex Red and his group of extras are now at the top. When we fight, I'll show him what a real hero in the making looks like.' He thought to himself.


At the same time, Ochaco was able to stand on her own and Sora helped her over to the waiting room. She wanted to get her stuff, as well as get a new gym top that wasn't covered in burns. Sora left her to her business and that's when he ran into Izuku once again.

"Oh, Izuku. What's up, man?" Sora asked.

"Sora!" Izuku jumped at his voice. "Uh, how's Uraraka?"

"Well, that loss left her disappointed and hurt, but..." Sora gestured towards the door down the hall with a smile. "I think she's gonna be just fine now. She's just taking care of some things now."

Izuku sighed in relief at this. "Oh, that's good to hear."

The Red Ranger then faced the other boy with a serious expression. "What about you? You're up next, right?"

Izuku nodded and looked down at his hand, clenching it into a fist. "Yeah. I'm up against Todoroki..."

"Right." Sora nodded, leaning on a wall. "Crazy ice power. And he hasn't even used his left side yet."

"All because of what Endeavor did to Todoroki and his mom." Izuku absentmindedly added.

"Yeah," Sora nodded, only for his eyes to slightly widen as he realized what Izuku just said. "Wait, what? How do you know about that?"

Izuku blinked as his own eyes widened in shock. "U-Uhh, well..."


Musutafu, Japan - Warehouse District

The White Ranger clone was stunned by the Rangers' new suit change, but snapped out of his stupor. "Neat trick, but it will take a lot more than a mere costume change to beat me." He declared.

"We'll see about that, cause it's about to get wild!" Reina retorted back as both sides prepared for Round 2.

"Right!" The Rangers exclaimed as they charged forward.

The White Ranger clone only smirked before running forward, as he was going to attack Reina first. But before she could take another step, Ayumi and Cyrus were the first to step forward at the evil clone.

"Dino  Saber!" Cyrus called while pulling out his melee weapon.

"You're ours now!" Ayumi declared at the clone before pointing her Morpher at him. "Rapid Fire!" 

Ayumi started firing a volley of pink shots as she advanced towards her foe, while the Dino Ranger clone was hit by several of the shots in the process. Meanwhile, Cyrus shoved the sharp, dangerous weapon right through the clone's stomach, only for him to move out of the way in time to get grazed at by the Dino Saber. But that didn't stop the Blue Ranger's assault as he swung his body back around to strike at the clone with his sword, that was then blocked by his right arm.

Then, Reina and Kiba ran forward and jumped forward as they held their weapons. "Dino Saber! Power Slash!" They shouted while corkscrewing in the air, as their Dino Sabers glowed green and black respectively and swung them at the clone, knocking him back across the ground.

"Argh!" He grunted as he came to stop, before standing up.

The Rangers grouped together, preparing for another assault.

The Ranger clone then readied his sword, twirled it around, then slashed it repeatedly in front of him, making a bunch of laser arrows. "Fire!"

"Not this time!" Cyrus shouted as he and the others fired laser blasts at the arrows, destroying them all.

"What!?" The Ranger clone gasped.

"Time to take it up a notch!" Reina told the others.

The team then pressed a button on the left side of their belts for the cases on their buckles to turn over, before they opened the cases to reveal two Chargers inside and then grabbed one of them after closing it.

"Dino Charger, Ready!" They shouted while holding up their Dino Chargers forward before clicking a button on it, activating it.

Then, they popped the barrel of the Morphers' mouths before inserting the Dino Chargers into the muzzle of the Dino Charge Morphers. Once that was done, they pressed down on the mouths of their Morphers. 

 "Para Charger, Engage!" A voice announced from Kiba's Dino Charge Morpher. 

 "Stego Charger, Engage!" A voice announced from Cyrus' Dino Charge Morpher. 

 "Raptor Charger, Engage!" A voice announced from Reina's Dino Charge Morpher. 

 "Tricera Charger, Engage!" A voice announced from Ayumi's Dino Charge Morpher.

"Dino Steel: Armor On!" They called while holding the Dino Charge Morphers in their left hands, before sliding the barrel of the Morphers down on their right arms with it sparking black, blue, green, and pink energy respectively, as pieces of armor manifested on the Rangers' right arms.

"Para Chopper!" Kiba shouted as an axe appeared in his right hand.

"Stego Shield!" Cyrus shouted as a spike-edged shield appeared in his right hand.

"Raptor Claw!" Reina shouted as tri-claw-like weapon appeared in her right hand.

"Tricera Drill!"  Ayumi shouted as a handheld drill appeared in her right hand.

"You think those toys of yours can stop me from achieving victory? You're wrong!" the Clone snarled.

He put his sword away, then crossed his forearms over near his chest. "Super Dino Mode!" he shouted, lowering his arms, as red lightning came out of him.

The black parts of his suit extended out - except for his chest - covering it in spikes on his boots, legs, arms - from behind - and shielded shoulders, while two long spikes came out of the back of his gloved hands.

"Now, let's even the odds." He growled before charging at the Rangers. 

"Everyone, scatter!" Reina yelled out as she, Ayumi and Kiba all separated into different locations: Ayumi using her Tricera Drill to drill underground, Reina jumping high onto a rooftop, and Kiba jump backwards, while Cyrus used his Stego Shield to block a downward slash from the White Ranger clone. 

"Prepare to be destroyed!" The Clone roared, pressing his attack more.

"I'm not afraid of you!" Cyrus spat, grunting to hold his opponent back.

As the two struggled to overpower each other, Cyrus recalled something that Sora did against Igeron and used his left hand to bring out his Dino Charge Morpher to shoot at the evil Ranger at point blank, which made him stumble back with sparks flying off his body.

"Ugh..." The clone groaned in slight pain while holding his stomach where he got shot.

Seeing his chance, Cyrus moved in to use his shield to bash the clone in the face with maximum force, sending him sliding backwards across the ground.

"He's all yours, Kiba!" The Blue Ranger called out, rolling to the side to allow Kiba, now dual-wielding both the Para Chopper and Dino Charge Morpher, to jump forward and point both weapons at the evil Ranger. 

"Jackpot!" The now Black Ranger whooped as he fired a double purple laser blast.

Regaining his composure, the Ranger clone raised his spike-gloved hands and used them to create a shield in front of him before the two blasts hit him. But the force of the explosion pushed the clone slightly back as he skidded on his feet to stop in place, before noticing the Green Ranger jumping down straight at him.

"Bring that ass here!" Reina declared, dual-wielding both the Raptor Claw and Dino Saber, as she dove down from above and uses both weapons to deliver a downward slash to the evil Ranger.

Growling, the Clone blocked Reina's Raptor Claw with his spike, while holding her right forearm. They spun around, before the Clone slashed Reina's chest, knocking her back slightly. He tried to slash Reina again, who blocked his attack with her Dino Saber as they moved past each other, then they turned to each other, then Reina blocked both his blades with her weapons, before she pushed if forward.

"Ah!" the Clone growled, stumbling back.

He tried to slash Reina with his right blade, who blocked it with her Dino Saber.

"Uh-uh." She said, kicking the Clone in the chest.

The Clone hit the ground on his back, then rolled onto his chest, as Reina ran at him.

"Go to hell!" She yelled as she held up her Raptor Claw, before slashing him down the chest with a green energy slash.

"AHH!" the Clone moaned, as sparks came out of him.

Not finished, Reina quickly spun her body to the right while lowering herself to the floor to do a low sweep with her left leg.

The Clone saw this coming and leaped up in the air to avoid the attack, only to not notice Ayumi blasting through the ground behind him as the Pink Ranger launched above him, before extending her right arm downward with the drill pointing at him.

"Take this! Tricera Drill!" Ayumi shouted while shooting down towards the Ranger clone with the Tricera Drill, generating pink spiral energy for a downward attack, making the clone's gasp in shock yet again.

Completely distraught, the clone was left open and soon enveloped in the attack. The clone screamed as he shot back down on the ground in a harsh slide, his frontside steaming from Ayumi's assault.

Soon, the four rangers regrouped together as they faced their downed enemy. "Let's bring it home, guys!" Reina told them. "Let's combine our weapons."

"Right!" The other agreed.

"Weapons Combine!"

The Rangers then threw their weapons up into the air as they lined up in order: Tricera Drill, Raptor Claw, Stego Shield, and Para Chopper.

The weapons then moved in together, connecting as one and forming a mini javelin.

"Quadruple Spike Shot!" Reina called out as she caught the combined weapon in her hands and ran forward at her opponent. "Here I come!"

She lunged after the clone with a battle cry and hurriedly thrusted the weapon at him, who tried to dodge the attack but failed to do so as the weapon pierced him through the stomach.

"AHH!" he moaned, as lightning came out of him.

"Dino Pierce!" Reina shouted while activating the drill, making it rapidly spin around along with the clone. 

The clone's grunts of anguish were met with Reina using momentum to swing the weapon around "while the clone was being spun around, until the Green Dino Charge Ranger finally flung the clone off the weapon and sent the clone into the air.

"Rargh!" The clone roared in pain, crashing into a large crate with a huge cloud of dust flying all over the place.

"Did we get him?" Kiba asked aloud.

 Cyrus let out a sigh. "Kib, he didn't even explode. Why do you bother asking?"

"I'm an optimist."

"You're an idiot." Reina snorted.

"Guys, look!" Ayumi spoke up, pointing at the clone's location. 

The clone soon emerged from the pile of rubble and jumped away, maintaining yet another safe distance while holding onto his injured stomach with a pained grunt.

"Of course, it wasn't that easy," Reina said in annoyance that the clone was about to survive an attack like that and keep on going.

"You Rangers really are more trouble than what you're worth." He said, cursing them. "But I'm not done with you all, just yet!"

Kiba snorted at this. "Give it up, dude. We can handle whatever surprises you have in store for us."

The Clone growled for a second time before clenching his fist. "It seems that there's no other option left for me to expect this." He said before giving the heroes an evil expression on his face like he was plotting something.

"What's that's supposed to mean?" Ayumi asked as she and the others were getting ready for what the clone was planning next.

The evil Ranger smirked before standing up straight and getting into some kind of stance. "What I mean is that you Rangers will be the first ones to witness this power! After that, you will all DIE!" He announced before letting out a mighty cry as the clone began to glow white, which blinded everyone watching and made the area shake violently.

"What is he doing?" Cyrus questioned while looking away and covering his face from the light. "Is he going insane?"

"Too bright!" Ayumi shouted while being blinded by the light.

"I don't know, but it doesn't look good!" Kiba answered while also looking away.

"Everyone, get ready for whatever he might try!" Reina said to his team.

They didn't understand what was happening, and yet the clone didn't take notice as he was busy unleashing a whole new level of power that will change the tide of battle in his favor. Suddenly, all the shaking and the blindingly bright light began dying down.

"Congratulations, Power Rangers. You are the first to ever witness my new power." The clone said as the white light surrounding his body faded, allowing the Rangers to get a good look at what he had now become. His new appearance was both shocking and it sent shivers down the spines of all the Rangers in the area.

The clone's chest was now covered in white, bronze, and black armor, as well as two spikes on his shins. He turned to his right arm as a roar was heard, then he pulled it back as it stretched out with a Tupuxuara head, then he did the same with his left arm, which had a Tupuxuara tail on it.

 He turned to his right arm as a roar was heard, then he pulled it back as it stretched out with a Tupuxuara head, then he did the same with his left arm, which had a Tupuxuara tail on it

(Kinda like this. Don't own pic)

"White Dino Ranger: Jurassic Battlizer!" The clone's announced to everyone with great pride in his voice.

"What?!" Ayumi gasped in horror.

"No way!" Cyrus muttered in shock.

"He..He has a Battlizer!" Kiba cried out.

"The hell!?" Reina cursed out loud.


Command Chamber

"Ay-yi-yi-yi-yi!" Alpha gapsed in shock at what he was witnessing. "Not good! Not good!"

"Unbelievable..." Solon said in horror. "A Battlizer?! I thought they were only exclusive to the Red Rangers, with some exceptions!"

"They are, but I never thought I'd see it for myself that an evil Ranger, much less a clone, could use one." Katrina replied in both astonishment and horror.

"Perhaps, it was Scrozzle's doing." Alpha chimed in. "It couldn't be a real one, but he had data on them."

"This is really bad. If he is using one, then he's done messing around." Solon said. "The Rangers are in trouble now."


The Rangers looked on as the clone admired his new found power.

"Yes, what you're seeing is my new power. Though I'll admit it's not as efficient as yours." The clone informed them.

"So basically, it's a ripoff of the real deal." Kiba catching on quickly.

 "Which means fighting him just got more complicated." Ayumi muttered in concern.

"That's right. I made things much more difficult for you Rangers. Let's see if you can withstand my might." The Clone said with an evil smile.

"You have most certainly boasted some confidence." Cyrus pointed out. 

"Exactly, so can you not act like you already won?" Reina snarked.

"No need..." The Clone stated while glaring darkly at Reina. "Because I can see you fall." 

He suddenly charged at them in lightning speed, then began to dash past them repeatedly, slashing them every time he did.

"AH! AH!" they moaned. "AH!"

"AH!" Reina moaned, as he slashed her.

He kept dashing past and slashing them.

"AH!" Ayumi moaned, as he slashed her.

He kept dashing past and slashing them.

"Whoa!" Kiba moaned, as he slashed him.

He kept dashing past and slashing them.

"Ah!" Cyrus moaned, as he hit him, knocking him away.

Kiba hit the ground with his back, then turned onto his chest, as his friends ran towards him, then gathered around him.

"Guys, pull it together!" Reina said, as Kiba got up. 

That was when they saw the clone walk up to them. "Is that all you've got?" He snarked.

"Hardly!" Reina retorted, holding up her Raptor Claw. "Ready?"

"Hyah!" they all yelled, charging forward.

The clone blocked Kiba's Para Chopper with his left arm, then hit the now Black Ranger in the back, causing him to flip forward onto his back. Reina came over and tried to slash him, but he whacked her Raptor Claw with his own, knocking her aside.

"Whoa!" she yelped.

Cyrus and Ayumi both ducked as he tried to smack them. They both tried to kick him, but he blocked them with his Tupuxuara head arm, then he hit Cyrus's Stego Shield with the end of it, knocking him back, then Ayumi grabbed his arm and tried to knock it down with her Tricera Drill. He then limboed as she jumped and spun around to kick him, making her miss, then he hit her leg with his arm, making her back flip away.

"AHH!" she screamed, twirling around and hit her back against a bunch of barrels. "Ah!" 

Kiba aimed his Para Chopper as Reina aimed her Dino Charger, before they both fired at the clone.

"Fire!" they shouted, though their enemy slowly approached as he remained un-phased from their assault.

"That tickles." he said.

"Huh?" Kiba gulped.

"What!?" Reina gasped.

"Lasers, fire!" The clone shouted, holding his hands up and shooting white lasers from them, hitting the ground in front of them, making sparks come up from it.

"AHH!" they moaned. "AHH!"

The clone laughed as they both went flying away, before he fired again, hitting Kiba, who fell against some barrels.

"Ah!" he moaned.

"AH!" Reina screamed, as she hit an old support beam, which fell alongside her.

The clone soon lifted Cyrus's arm up and threw him away. "AH!" he yelped, flipping forward before he hit his back against a car, before he rolled off it and onto his chest.

"Amazing! This feels good!" The Ranger clone exclaimed with great pleasure as the Battlizer was seriously the real deal. "I can feel the power is overflowing throughout my body!" He exclaimed as his gaze now focuses on the Rangers, before his whole body started to glow white again.

"What's he doing now?" Ayumi asked in a tone of slight nervousness.

"I think I'll take this new power of mine at maximum power!" The clone said as the four Rangers turned their attention back on him. "And I think I've found four perfect playthings to use it on first." He then pointed his weapon-clad arms forward and then created a large ball of black and white power between them.

"Ultima Blast, fire!" he shouted, firing a massive laser from both weapons, detonating in a large explosion that destroyed a part of the warehouse district, along with most of the walls that began crumbling away.

"GAHHH!" The four Rangers all screamed in agony, as they were caught in the middle of that blast and were thrown away due to the force of the attack. They were blasted through several buildings before coming to a complete stop within a wide space, kicking up a large dust cloud.

Once the dust cloud cleared up, all four of the Rangers were de-morphed out of their Legendary and Hero Force Ranger Modes because of the amount of damage they took

"Finished already?" The clone asked, walking forward. "I was honestly expecting you four to put up a fight like you did before. Although, I suppose that makes sense, considering that the Red Ranger isn't here to help you."

"Go suck a nut." Reina growled out as she glared up at him.

The Ranger clone scoffed at that. "Hmph. Funny. I'll be sure to put that on your tombstones."

He then prepared to fire another massive blast as the black/white energy suddenly formed in front of him. The Rangers braced themselves for another attack...

When the clone was then blasted in the chest, making him disperse his attack.

"Uh!" he yelped, before an explosion then came up all around him in a circle, hitting him all over. "AGHHH!"

The Rangers all looked surprised by the sudden attack as they sat up.

"What the...?" Kiba blinked in confusion.

"Huh?" Cyrus questioned.

"Who did that?!" The clone demanded, looking around. "Where are you?! Show yourself, right now!"

As if to answer his question, a whooshing sound was soon heard throughout the area, which got everyone's attention as they got back up.

"What is that?" Reina asked, looking around.

It was then Ayumi gazed up at something, causing her eyes to widen in shock. "Guys, look! Up there!" She cried pointing to a crane on her right.

Everyone turned their gazes towards where the blonde was gesturing and saw something that caused them to drop their jaws.

Leaning onto a nearby crane, was a Cyan Ranger figure with a silver chest shield that donned the Hero Force symbol. The suit had golden lines on the gloves and boots, his helmet resembled a wyvern, with a visor similar to Sora's, only wider and with teeth on the top and bottom. His belt buckle had a bit of gold on it, which held a holster for a blaster...that he was currently twirling with his finger as he looked up at the sky.

The Rangers all spotted him standing against a railing on a set of steps for a crane

The Rangers all spotted him standing against a railing on a set of steps for a crane.

"Who is that?" Reina wondered.

"I don't know." Cyrus said.

"Another Ranger?" Ayumi questioned.

"Where did he even come from?" Kiba asked. "And where he did get that awesome shield?"

The Ranger figure then tossed his blaster in the air, before he stood up straight and caught it in midair. He soon looked down at the battlefield, then stared down at the clone.

"So..." The Ranger figure spoke in a masculine tone. "Want me to dig a grave for you too?"

To Be Continued...

Sports Festival - Corridor

"So, you overheard everything?" Sora hummed questiongly.

After Izuku accidentally revealed his eavesdropping, both he and Sora now stood in the hallway where he explained everything. There was still a couple of minutes before the freckled teen's match, so they'd figure they talk about Shoto's story.

"Basically..." Izuku admitted embarrassingly, rubbing his head. "I-I know that I shouldn't have, but when Todoroki pulled you away like that, I thought a fight was going to happen between you two. So I kinda kept close by..."

 The Red Ranger waved him off. "It's fine, Izuku; don't worry about it. Honestly, I'm kinda surprised that he didn't bring you along, considering that he declared 'war' on you too."

"Well, based on his story, you forced him to use his flames during the Cavalry Battle." Izuku shrugged. "Maybe that's it."

"Seems so." Sora acknowledged. "Speaking of, you got plan against him?"

"Honestly...I don't know." Izuku replied to Sora's surprise, letting out a deep sigh, "Todoroki's strong, and I'm definitely at a disadvantage..." he pointed out, balling his right hand into a fist. "But even so..." he continued, "I'll do what I can to win," he stated firmly, "That's what I vowed to do," he added.

"Izuku..." Sora uttered out, before giving him a proud look. "In that case, I'll be rooting for you, bud. And if you do somehow beat Todoroki, don't forget to give everything you've got if you and I find ourselves going up against each other in the next round." He declared before holding out his fist for a fist bump.

"Sora..." Izuku blinked in surprise, though he smiled with determination as he returns the fist bump. "Right!"

"AAHHH, OOHH! KIRISHIMA OR TETSUTETSU? WHO'S GOING TO MOVE ON!?" Both boys were startled by Present Mic's loud announcement from the screen.


["WHOEVER WINS THIS ARM-WRESTLE WILL ADVANCE TO THE SECOND ROUND!"]

Out on the repaired ring, Kirishima and Tetsutetsu were engaged in an intense arm-wrestling game.

Both had their right hands tightly grabbing the other's, and were using all their strength to push their opponent's hand down. Their left hands grabbing onto the cement table Cementos created so hard that their fingers had broken into it. Midnight and Cementoss were standing beside the boys, watching.

The crowd cheered for either boy as the match went on for a minute now. However, it was over when the iron on Tetsutetsu's hand cracked and broke.

He grunted in pain, giving Kirishima the advantage. He yelled out a roar, before slamming Tetsutetsu's hand down on the table, cracking it.

"Kirishima is the winner! Add him to the bracket."

Kirishima threw his fist up in the air. "YEAHHHHHHHH!"

["Kirishima's earned his place in the second round!"]

Tetsutetsu was on one knee while clenching his right wrist in pain. "GAHHHH! I ran out of metals! Should have put some more iron in my diet today!" He grunted. A pair of boot covered feet stepped in front of him, making the silver-haired look up.

Kirishima stood before him and held out a hand. The sun shining on him and his face was even twinkling. "Hey man, you put up a good fight."

Tetsutetsu looked away with a scoff, as the same effect was done for him. He accepted the hand, making Midnight squeal. "Oh! So chivalrous!"

["We now have our full lineup for the second round! With that said, let's get right to it!"]


"Looks like it's time." Sora spoke, his eyes slightly narrowed.

"Yeah..." Izuku said with a determined expression. "Well, I better get going then."

"Make sure you give him one for me in the ring."

"I will." Izuku promised, before making his way down the corridor and disappearing around a corner.

 As Sora turned and started walking down the hallway, he became lost in his thoughts. It had been nearly an hour or so since he heard anything from Ayumi and the others. Sure, he was focused on the Festival and he knew for a fact that they could handle themselves just fine. But he couldn't help but wonder if they ran into some kind of trouble.

"Maybe I should check in, just to be sure." Sora said to himself as he held up his Morpher-clad arm and reached for the 'Call' button... 

However, he was taken from his thoughts when a massive figure stepped out of the corner of another hallway to his right.

It was the Number Two Hero Endeavor. Sora blinked in shock when he saw just how close he was to him. Looking up at him with wide eyes that were a mix of shock.

"Endeavor?" He blurted out on instinct.

Endeavor glanced at the Red Ranger, before turning the corner completely as a scowl grew on his face. "Oh, you're one of those 'Power Rangers' brats from the news."

This surprised Sora a bit, but when his conversation with Todoroki entered back into his head, he looked up at the man with a small scowl. This may be the Second Best Hero, but he was still a scumbag.

 "I'm actually surprised you're still in U.A." The man glared intensely.

"Is that right? And why is that?" Sora asked in a neutral tone. He was in no mood to talk with Endeavor, especially with everything going on.

Endeavor said with a scowl. "I made my request to the Board of Education to have you and your vigilante group removed from UA, but that fool Nezu remains firm in his decision to allow you and the others to stay at UA. People like you, who don't have a Quirk, will only get in the way of my son. It is his duty to surpass All Might and become the new Number One hero. It's unthinkable to have children like you in the same school as him."

Sora clenched his fist. Was the number two hero in Japan really telling him that he and the other Rangers had no place in UA? Sure, they could have just joined the General Studies course, but Nezu gave him and the Rangers the chance to become heroes, even if it was just to complete their mission and protect their fellow students.

"I refuse to rely on my old man's Fire Quirk. You see, I'm going to show him that I reject his power, and take first place without using it."

Those words from Todoroki echoed in Sora's head. His anger for what the Hero did to his son filled him.

"Those without Quirks should remain on the sidelines. You should just give up and leave the hero work to us real heroes. Those of us who don't need flashy suits or oversized robots to defeat villains, especially those new ones." Endeavor started walking away. Sora, however, wasn't going to let him go without saying a few choice of words.

 "Wow, I didn't know you cared, Endeavor. Thanks for the concern, but I think we're fine where we are." Sora said, his hair overshadowing his eyes. "Besides, we don't cause property damage like some heroes out there."

Hearing this, Endeavor stop and looked back at him with a scowl. "This isn't a joke, boy! People will die if you continue to treat this as a game! Either you get that through your head or..."

"You listen here, you sonofabitch!" Sora snapped growled out. "A game!? Wha the hell do you know about us? Do you think every monster we defeat grants us experience points that unlocks new weapons?" He snarled. "I've never once seen this as a game, me or the other Rangers! Not all heroes have to have a quirk and there are some things that heroes like you can't do. Your flame quirk is powerful, but it's not the ideal quirk for every situation. Besides, one spark and you could set an entire forest on fire. Then again, that's coming from the guy that sees his son as nothing but a tool and a means to an end because he's just Second Best!"

"How dare you...!" Endeavor snarled, though he stopped short as Sora looked over his shoulder and glared right back at Endeavor with a ominous, glowing red eye.

!" Endeavor snarled, though he stopped short as Sora looked over his shoulder and glared right back at Endeavor with a ominous, glowing red eye

"Todoroki might be your son...but he sure as hell isn't you." 

And with that, he walked away. Not bothering to wait for a reply as he intented to see the upcoming match for himself.


Warehouse District

Meanwhile, the Rangers and the White Dino Ranger clone all spotted the new Ranger standing against a railing on a set of steps for a crane.

"Who is that?" Reina wondered.

"I don't know." Cyrus said.

"Another Ranger?" Ayumi questioned.

"Where did he even come from?" Kiba asked. "And where he did get that awesome shield?"

The Ranger figure then tossed his blaster in the air, before he stood up straight and caught it in midair. He soon looked down at the battlefield, then stared down at the Rangers.

"Hmm..." The Ranger figure spoke in a masculine tone. "You're an colorful bunch."


Command Chamber

"Ai-yi-yi-yi!" Alpha exclaimed in awe. "Katrina! Solon! Look, it's another Ranger!"

"Seeing, still working on the believing part." The latter uttered, turning her gaze to Katrina. "Did you know about this?"

The A.I shook her head. "No, I've never seen him before." She mumbled as she kept her eyes on the new Ranger. 'Yet why...?'


"What's this? Another Hero Ranger?!" The Ranger Clone exclaimed.

"Hmph, please." The new Ranger scoffed, as he walked down the flight of steps. "I am more than just a Ranger. I am the Paladin Ranger, and don't even bother to try to remember that because this fight will be your last."

"I don't care what you call yourself! I'm calling you destroyed!!" The clone shouted, holding his hands up and shooting white lasers from them.

"Give me a break." The now Paladin Ranger scoffed as he jumped off the crane, just at the last hit the structure, causing explosions to go off behind him.

The new Ranger then forward flipped in the air and soon landed on the ground in front of the Rangers as he looked at the clone.


In Space - Alsatia's ship

Everyone was all watching the new Ranger arrived in the viewing globe.

"Another Power Ranger!" Scrozzle exclaimed, holding his hand. "What's going on here?!"

"I don't recall there being a sixth one in this world." Ernesh grunted lowly.

"Well, this is certainly a surprise." Alsatia commented in a shocked tone. 

"No worries, my Queen!" The robot sputtered as he moved over to the controls. "I'll send out some Batzlers to overwhelm him!"


Soon, a bunch of Batzlers appeared within the area, as everyone looked at them.

"Batzlers!" Cyrus exclaimed out.

"I don't recall requesting help." The clone spat.

The Paladin Ranger cracked his knuckles casually as he marched forward. "I could use a warm-up." 

He then kicked one Batzler in the arm, then kicked another in the chest, before moving his leg back and kicked a third in the chest. He then tried to trip a fourth up with his arm, but missed as it jumped, then he punched a fifth in the chest, then spun around to kick a sixth in the head, but missed as it ducked, but then he spun around and tackled it, knocking it down and causing it to sparkle.

"He's good." Reina complimented.

"I won't argue there." Cyrus agreed.

"Same." Kiba admitted.

"Next?" the Ranger asked, turning to more of the Batzlers.

One grunt then tried to punch him, but he blocked it, then blocked another punch from it, followed by another, then he grabbed its arm, lifted it up, and then hit it in the chest with his elbow, knocking it down. He then spun around and tackled another one, then blocked a kick from a third, followed by another, then blocked a punch from it by grabbing its arm, and then flipped it over.

"Why haven't we seen him before?" Ayumi wondered, as the Ranger spun around to kick another Batzler.

"I'm not sure. The news never mentioned anything about a 'Paladin Ranger'." Cyrus pointed out.

Back in the fight, the new Ranger lifted his arms up and hit two Batzlers at the same time. He then did it again to two more grunts, and then another two. Just then, three Batzlers were about to hit him with their claws, but they suddenly stopped as the new Ranger reached behind him and and pulled out a most unusual weapon, a double-barrel shotgun.

"Ice Saber! Blaster Mode!" He shouted, holding it up.

He pressed a button on its side, then spun around in a circle while firing it, hitting all Batzlers, knocking it down. He then stopped, turned and fired it again, hitting another five, then he turned around and fired again, hitting another. He then turned to some more as they came at him.

"Not enough, huh?" he said. "Ice Saber, Blade Mode!"

He pressed the button on it, then he held it out, before a blade retracted out of it, then its handle pulled back, turning it into blade mode as the blade was a cyan color. A Gunblade.

 He held it up diagonally, then jumped up and dived down towards the remaining Batzlers

 He held it up diagonally, then jumped up and dived down towards the remaining Batzlers.

He slashed one down the chest, then slashed another in the arm while dashing past it, then slashed a third while backing away, followed by a fourth as it came at him. He then slashed a fifth, then spun around and tackled a sixth, then slashed a seventh with his blade, followed by an eighth, and then an ninth as he ran forward. He slashed the ninth one again, then spun around and kicked it, knocking it down, then he turned to a tenth, then knocked it aside by hitting its weapon with his blade, then he kicked a 11th, then he spun around and tackled the tenth.

After disposing of all the grunts, the new Ranger turned his attention to the clone as they stared each other down.

"You certainly are strong against Alsatia's Batzlers, but I doubt that you're strong enough against the power of my Battlizer!" The clone bellowed, charging another large ball of black and white power between them and unleashed it all with one explosive blast.

*BOOM!*

There was another powerful explosion as it seemed the blast made contact. But what happened made all everyones' eyes widen in shock. But none were more shocked than the clone himself.

The Paladin Ranger had stood his ground... and caught the blast with his left hand!

The ground below him was blown apart from the impact, but he hadn't budged an inch from where he stood. All the gathered energy that the clone had built up and the new guy took it like it was nothing.

"Do I look like I need a Battlizer to defeat you?" He said, before using his weapon to slice the attack in half.

"What!?" The clone gaped in shock. "Impossible!"

"No." The Ranger retorted before charging at him. "You're just weak."

The clone growled angrily at that. "I'll show you who's weak!" He roared, charging to at his new foe as well.

Both combatants met halfway as the Paladin Ranger blocked the clone's Tupuxuara tail arm with his hand, then blocked the Tupuxuara head arm with it, before he grabbed it with his other hand. He pulled it down, making the clone move, then pulled it up slightly, before he spun around and punched the clone's chest, sending him flying away, before he hit the ground on his back.

"Diamond Dust!" The Ranger shouted, pulling his fist back.

The clone pulled himself up, before the new Ranger punched the ground, summoning large icicles that rose from the ground and slammed into him, making sparks come up in front of him.

"AHH!" The clone moaned.


"Incredible!" Solon commented in awe at the new Ranger's new abilities.

"Look at him go!" Alpha cheered on as he waved his arms around.

Katrina looked on with an intense gaze. 'Ice Manipulation? And those moves... Why do they look so familiar?'


The clone stumbled back, then held up his Tupuxuara head arm as it glowed, before he slashed it from left to right, sending a beam at the Ranger.

The new Ranger ducked and ran past it, then somersaulted over the clone, who turned and sent another at him, before he spun his body around and landed on the ground. He turned to the clone and moved to punch him, as he spun around and blocked it with his Tupuxuara tail arm, then he punched the arm away, then grabbed the clone's chest. He spun around while holding the clone, before he threw him up and away.

"OH!" The clone yelped, back flipping away.

The Ranger jumped and twirled around towards him as he shot down, then kicked his chest, sending him flying into some debris.

"OOOHHH!" The clone moaned.

The new Ranger landed several inches from him with his Ice Saber drawn once more. "Had enough?" he asked.

The clone pulled himself up and clutched his chest. "Never!" he roared.

"Good answer!" The Paladin Ranger warned as he ran forward. "Time to end this."

"Begone!" The clone bellowed out and held his arms forward to fire energy blasts at the Paladin Ranger, who kept charging towards him.

"AHH!" he yelled, as an explosion went off behind her.

More went off as he jumped up slightly, then he stopped. "Freeze!" he shouted, thrusting his palm forward to send burst of ice forward and froze the clone soild in ice.

"AH!" The clone grunted.

"Cyro Strike!" The Paladin Ranger called out, holding up his Ice Saber as the blade lit up bright blue. He held the blade up over him, then in front of him as he charged forward.

The clone could do nothing as the Ranger charged at him, then slashed him across the chest. He then turned around (with a background of a roaring blizzard) and slashed the frozen opponent twice in an X shape, making lightning come out of him as he spun around.

"AHH!" he moaned.

"And that was just the tip of the iceberg." The Ranger declared, turning around and put the Ice Saber on his shoulder.

"AHH!" The clone moaned, as sparks came out of him. "T-This isn't over!"

Lightning came out of him, before he up in a block of frozen wind, then an explosion went off behind him.

The Paladin Ranger let out a sigh as the other Rangers ran up to him.

"Unbelievable." Ayumi said.

"That was crazy." Kiba remarked, as they stopped behind him 

"You were amazing." Cyrus commented.

"Who are you?" Reina asked, pointing at him.

"I believe I established that already." The Paladin Ranger said, turning around to them.

"No, she meant who you are underneath the helmet." Kiba clarified.

The new Ranger snorted. "Why would I reveal myself to people that I don't know?" 

 "Well, to be honest, we're really curious about you since you saved us." Cyrus replied with a shrug.

"Don't get the wrong idea." The Ranger dismissed with a thought. "I didn't come here out of the goodness of my heart, I was merely requested to do so."

"Requested?" Kiba blinked in confusion.

"Why don't we work together?" Cyrus suggested.

"Yeah!" Ayumi inquired, walking forward. "Since you came here to help us, that means we're all fighting for the same thing, aren't we?"

"You have no idea what I'm fighting for!" The Paladin Ranger snarled, turning to her. "You don't know me at all."

"If you're still unsure about telling us who you are, we could introduce ourselves to you and you could do the same. Does that sound fair to you?" Ayumi suggested, taking as step forward.

The Ranger only let out a annoyed growl. "You're wasting your time. Walk away, now."

"But-" Ayumi began, only for the new Ranger to snarl and push her towards the others, Kiba catching her as she almost fell.

"Like I mentioned beforeYou have no idea what I'm fighting for!" The new Ranger spoke, before he began to walk away from the group, clearly done talking.

"Hey!" Reina shouted in anger, running after him.

"Rei, wait!" Cyrus cried.

Reina grabbed the Ranger's shoulder, but he brushed Reina's hand off.

"You can't just leave without telling us why you're here and who are you!" Reina snapped, grabbing his shoulder.

Without saying a word, the Ranger slapped Reina's hand off again, then he turned and elbowed her in the stomach.

"Ugh!" Reina moaned, clutching it, as she fell to his knees.

"Reina!" Kiba gasped. "Hey, what's your problem!?"

He and the others all ran towards the figure, as Ayumi held Reina while Kiba and Cyrus stood in front of the girls, ready to fight.

"No, wait!" Ayumi begged, wrapping her arms around Reina and trying to stop a fight from breaking out.

The Paladin Ranger stopped and turned to them. "Don't try and follow me." He simply said, turning around and jumping up, making the Rangers look up. They all then ran forward as he landed on top of a tower, before they stopped and looked at him as he disappeared from their view.

"What was that about?" Kiba wondered.

"You got me." Cyrus said, confused.

Ayumi turned to Reina. "You okay?" she asked.

"Yeah." Reina replied, as she stood up straight and glared at the Paladin Ranger's previous location.

"What a hardcase." She huffed, folding her arms.


Command Chamber

"Well, that was beyond rude!" Alpha exclaimed, shocked by what the Paladin Ranger did to the Rangers, especially Ayumi and Reina. 

Solon nodded in agreement. "Even if he is a new Ranger, he has quite the agreesive temper. We should be careful around him until we know what he's after and whose side he's on." 

Katrina, however, could only narrow her eyes at the Paladin Ranger's interaction towards the Rangers. 'This new Ranger. The way he fights...the way he acts...why does it all remind me of..."him"?'

To Be Continued...

Notes:

That's it for this chapter. The Paladin Ranger stopped the threat, but as you can see, that doesn't mean he consider the HF team friends, though Katrina seems to know something. (I'm going in the routes of Magna Defender and Robo Knight with his story a little bit. With a hint of Shadow from Sonic 3.) Which means...the next arc after the Sports Festival is an original one: Power of the Paladin Arc! Look forward to it.

The character also belongs to xyzdragon1234, give him a shotout!

Thank you very much for reading. "Power Rangers: Heroes Force" will return. Please be sure to favorite and follow if you like the story, and also review it. If you have any questions or discussions you'd have for me, then please in a review or a PM my profile.

Thank you for reading, may God bless you, and have a wonderful day.

Command Chamber

In the chamber, the Rangers all stood before Katrina, Solon, and Alpha, who stood by the center panel.

"I've made inquiries into all databases." Solon explained, approaching the group. "No reports of a Paladin Ranger."

"Perhaps there was sixth Morpher on Earth that we didn't know about?" Alpha asked.

"No, there were only five." Katrina shook her head.

"Well, he was here." Reina assured. "We saw him."

"Yeah. And what's with being heroic one minute, then being like a super jerk the next?" Kiba questioned.

"And what did he mean by we have no idea what he's fighting for?" Ayumi wondered. "I mean, he's a Ranger too; so, shouldn't we be fighting together?"

"Not exactly." Cyrus chimed in, getting everyone's attention. "When I was studying the Rangers' history, I've seen several Rangers like him, fighting for their own cause at times."

Reina rolled her eyes. "Ah, great. And we got stuck with a hardass." She remarked sarcastically.

"So, what should we do now?" Kiba asked, glancing around at everyone. "Do we go searching for Mr. Macho or...?"

Katrina waved them off. "We'll worry about this Paladin Ranger at another time. Right now, you four have somewhere important to be." 

"We do?" Reina blinked in confusion.

 Ayumi's eyes lit up in realization. "The Sports Festival!" She gasped loudly.

"Oh, right!" Cyrus perked up, placing a fist in his palm.

"Don't worry. If we find any information on this new Ranger, we'll alert you all immediately." Solon reassured them.

"Thanks a ton," Kiba said before turning to the other Rangers. "Come on, guys! We need to hurry or we'll miss Sora's match!"

The others looked at each other and nodded. "Right." They replied in unison.

"See you, Rangers!" Alpha told them.

The four Rangers then pressed their Morphers, creating a bright light, before they all teleported away from the chamber.


Stadium Field

From the stands, Sora watched as everyone prepared for the starting match of Izuku and Shoto. Deep down, he was hoping that Izuku would win, but at the same time, he was also hoping that Shoto would overcome his hatred of his father's flames and use it.

Either way, this fight was going to determine his next challenge.

"People like you, who don't have a Quirk, will only get in the way of my son. It is his duty to surpass All Might and become the new Number One hero. It's unthinkable to have children like you in the same school as him."

Endeavor's words echoed through his mind, causing the Red Ranger to click his teeth in annoyance. What the hell did he know about being Quirkless anyways? He didn't understand what the others had to go through....what he had to go through to get here today.


Flashback

"Can you see it? He's already saved a hundred people, and it hasn't even been ten minutes! It's insane!"

A young Sora Ukashi was in his room, watching TV as a recorded video of a disaster scene played.

"Like many others, it was my dream to become a hero, just like All-Might."

 The video continues to play as a giant muscular man, wearing a red, blue, yellow, and white suit emerges from a pile of rubble, carrying multiple injured people.

"HA HA HA HA HA HA!"

"He's laughing?!"

"HA HA HA HA HA!"

"Fear not citizens! Help ha-!"

The door swung into the bedroom of the young boy who was caught watching TV past his bedtime by Serena, who was wearing her favorite fuchsia colonial nightgown. "Sora Ukashi!" Yelled his mother. Sora quickly turned off the television with a 'BVOOOOM', trying to look as innocent as he could be. "I thought you were asleep an hour ago." His mother would always tuck him to bed every night, but every night she would catch him after she tucked him in. It was also the same video every night.

"But mom, I was getting to the best part." Whined the young boy as he pulled his remote close to his chest. "Please?" as he begged with his puppy dog eyes.

His mother, knowing that he loved the video very much she let him win. "Oh, can those eyes get any bigger?" She said, sarcastically. So she decided to sit with her son to his favorite video...again. "Skooch over." She said as she curled up to her son, while he turned back on the television to his favorite video.

"Can you see it? He's already saved a hundred people, and it hasn't even been ten minutes! It's insane!"

"HA HA HA HA HA HA!"

"He's laughing?!"

"HA HA HA HA HA!"

"Fear not citizens! Help has arrived! Why?"

"Because I am here!" Exclaimed the young Sora and All Might in unison. Serena knew the video was over and this time, she hoped her son would go to sleep for once. "How do you think All Might did it, mom?" Sora asked as he climbed the headboard of his bed. As he jumped off the headboard, Serena stretched her arms out to try to catch him before he fell down. He then asked her, "How he swooped in to save peopler and laugh in the face of danger?" as he snuck into the bed covers.

"I have no idea." Serena said, before suddenly graspping his waist and tugging him to her. Then, she gave her son a belly kiss creating a wet noise. When she did this, her son laughed with joy. "Ok, now it's time for this little hero to go to sleep." She said as she tucks him into bed. 

"Hey, mom? Do you think anyone could be a hero?" Young Sora asked in curiosity. 

Serena pick up an action figure as looked it at. "Sweetie, I think it's more...difficult than you think." She replied, placing the toy next to her little boy.

 Wanting to prove her wrong, he whined. "I know I could be a great one."

Not wanting to make him sad, Serena smiled. "Yeah, you definitely could." She then gave him a goodnight kiss on the forehead.

"Nighty-Night mom." Sora said. 

"Nighty-Night sweetheart. I love you." Serena replied as she stood in the doorway. 

"I love you too." Sora replied. His mother closed the door and went back to her bedroom. Then, the little boy turned his TV on again for a second time that night.

"To me, being part of something bigger...It was all I ever wanted to be."


"I'm sorry, ma'am. But your son won't develop a Quirk anytime soon." Those were the words that left Sora in complete utter shock as he sat there without a word.

"Those were the words that made me feel like someone destroyed my dreams right in front of me... I thought that I was gonna have an awesom flying Quirk or superhuman strength but it turns out that my joints ended up being normal joints, confirming the results. But..."

The scene later changes to nighttime back at the Ukashi Residence. "Sora? Are you okay, sweetie?" Serena asked with concern in her voice as she opened the door to Sora's room to check in on her son. When she entered, she noticed that instead of the same All Might video that Sora would always watch every night, it was a martial arts movie. 

"See that, Mom...? Even these guys are able to push onward no matter what..." Sora mumbled out loud. "I wanna be like that!" Sora protested, turning back to his mother. "I want to prove to everyone that even without Quirks, they can still become a hero, just like you when you catch the bad guys."

"Sora..." Serena uttered, but her son continued before she could interrupt.

"Mom, please. Just tell me... Do you think I can become a hero?" The boy asked with his face filled with hope. "I mean, the one kind who cares more about protecting people than anything else? What... What would you say?"

Serena was taken aback, and at this moment, she found herself conflicted as she thought long and hard about that question. She knew Sora always saw her as a hero with her job as a police officer. Sora didn't favor any other Pro Hero, other than All Might. He was an absolute hero for Sora, and somehow he thinks Serena was the same as All Might. Despite having no powers, Sora was 'different' from other people considering that... 

Then, what would she say that could help set her son on the right path? Away from any path of wrong?

The female officer moved into the room before sitting on the bed so she could look at her son face to face. She tried to speak up, but no words came out of her mouth. She then tried again, and the words came.

"I'd say... The day will come when you're going to change into the man you're gonna be for the rest of your life. Great things are going to happen in your future. Don't you ever change who you are. Do that, and I think you'd be a great hero if you continue to fight for what's right."

Sora flashed his mom a toothy grin and thumbs up. "Right! I'll be the best hero ever!"

Serena smiled and ruffled the boy's hair. "You sure will." She then stood up and went for the door. "Let's order some pizza. I'm starved."

"Yeah!"

Flashback ends


Sora snapped out of his stupor when he sensed something from behind, causing him to turn around and saw 4 lights appear, revealing to be Reina, Ayumi, Cyrus, and Kiba. "Oh, hey guys."

"Sora!" Ayumi chirped as she ran over to him.

"We're here! What did we miss?" Kiba joked as he looked around.

"Other than Uraraka facing off against our number one firecracker, nothing much." Sora informed them.

"Wait, what?" Cyrus blinked at that, not sure if he heard right.

"Ah, no way!" Kiba exclaimed in realization. "We missed Uraraka's match with Bakugo!?"

The Red Ranger waved it off. "I'll tell you about it later. So, how did things go on your end?"

The four Rangers all exchanged glances with one another before turning to Sora. 

Reina rubbed the back of her head. "Well... let's just say that it was full of surprises." She awkwardly told him.

"What do you mean?" Sora asked with a raised eyebrow.

Before anyone could respond, they were cut off as the crowd began cheering loudly.

["OH YEAH! IT'S TIME FOR THE SECOND ROUND'S FIRST MATCH OF THE SPORTS FESTIVAL! It's the guy who left half the stadium frozen from his landslide victory in the first round! From the Hero Course! It's SHOTO TODOROKI! His opponent, who won the obstacle course and showed his strength against the guy who can brainwash you with just a simple command, also from the Hero Course, IZUKU MIDORIYA!"] Mic announced with much excitement in his voice as the two students walked onto the field.

"Looks like it's starting." Sora said, turning back to the stadium.

"So, it's finally String Bean's next match." Reina said, as she leaned on the railing. "This ought be an interesting one."

"You can do it, Freckles!" Kiba practically jumped from excitement, waving his arms around frantically while cheering loudly.

"Izuku, Shoto, give it your all!" Sora encouraged, surprising the other Rangers.

"Wait, you're cheering for Todoroki as well?" Cyrus asked him.

"Even though I told Izuku that I'm rooting for him, I'm also showing my support to Todoroki, considering what he's going through with his father." Sora explained himself.

Ayumi smiled brightly. "You know, that's a good point!" She said with a bright shine in her eyes. And suddenly, she was calling out, "Izuku! Todoroki! You two've got this! Show off that strength!"


"So you decided to show up after all..." Shoto noted with narrowed eyes.

"Yeah..." Izuku responded, taking another deep breath. "Todoroki..." he began, causing his opponent to perk up. "I'm sorry that you've gone through so much in your life..." he apologized to his surprise. "Honestly, I can't imagine what that's like..." he admitted. "But..." he continued, balling his hands into fists. "Don't think that I'll just let you beat me lying down," he advised seriously with a determined gaze. "I'm going to beat you!" he declared.

"I don't care how you feel about this match..." Shoto said, as ice started to show upon his right foot.  "I already said that I'm stronger than you."

"That's where you're wrong," the One For All inheritor retorted, making him blink in shock. "I'm willing to come at you with all my might, even if I'm breaking myself..." he mentioned seriously. From how he was talking, Shoto found himself starting to feel perplexed... followed by being enraged.

{"All right! Enough waiting! Ready...Begin!"} Present Mic announced.

"He told you... didn't he?" he guessed, glaring at his foe.

"...He did," Izuku confirmed, "But it's not what you think," he added firmly. "I-"

"SHUT UP!" Shoto roared, unleashing a huge rush of ice. The One For All inheritor quickly leapt over it, curling his right pointer finger in and holding it back with his thumb.

"SMMMMAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" he yelled, flicking his finger to unleash a pressurized blast of air that shattered the ice and blew his opponent back a few feet. In the process, it broke, making him wince in agony.

"I knew you were going to use your body in a way similar to your fight earlier," Shoto noted. "All I have to do is hold out long enough for you to be too injured to-"

"Don't think I'll just give up!" Izuku bellowed, coming down in an attempt to land a fierce punch, only for the Half-Cold, Half-Hot Quirk user to jump back and evade him as he struck the ground. Shoto then followed with another ice wave, which his foe quickly blew away by flicking his right middle finger, breaking it as well.


Sora narrowed his eyes at Izuku's broken fingers. "I guess there was no way around it..."

"Looks like  String Bean has resorted to using his Quirk at full power again," Reina said, cringing at the sight.

"Can you blame him?" Kiba asked. "Todoroki is just...so powerful!"

"If this continues, Izuku is gonna be left with eight broken fingers," Ayumi grimaced at the thought.

"Still, Quirks are physical powers, too," Cyrus explained as he watched the match carefully. "So, there has to be some kind of limit to Todoroki's power too..."


"Damn you!" Shoto yelled, unleashing a bigger wave of ice. Izuku leapt away and gritted his teeth, flicking his right ring finger to blast the ice away in an instant. He landed, wincing from his three broken fingers. But his fierce glare never wavered.

His opponent glared back with gnashed teeth, rushing out at him. But he was slower. The frost building upon his right side. And it gave Izuku an opening. Without making the egg in the microwave explode, he landed a left straight punch to Shoto's chest, sending him tumbling back along the ground.

Nothing broke, but the One For All inheritor was starting to feel the pain getting to him. He disregarded it though, dashing forward and heading for his opponent. Unfortunately, he got up in time to make another wave of ice surge up and slam into his foe, sending him flying back. He managed to land down and slide to a stop just before he could reach the lines.

"Dammit..." he cursed, getting onto his feet. He gritted his teeth and rushed forward. Another ice barrage went his way, but it was much slower. He evaded it easily, ramming into Shoto with all his might head first, blowing him back.


"Holy crap..." Kiba uttered out, quite stunned.

"Yeah..." Reina agreed. "It's almost like... they're fighting for their lives..." she noted, quite surprised.

"It's exactly like that..." Cyrus noted as he watched on, "Izuku's going to do whatever it takes to win, same as Todoroki..."


"SMAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" the One For All inheritor roared, flicking his right pinky finger to blast away another wave of ice. Shoto breathed heavily, exhaling cold puffs of air.

"Why...?" he uttered in question.

"It's obvious, isn't it?" Izuku inquired back rhetorically to his surprise. "I'm aiming for the top just like you..." he noted while managing to close his broken fingers together into a fist. "That's why... I'm giving it my all..." he stated firmly, lunging forward and slamming his head into his foe's stomach. "Just like you should be!" he shouted. "Like I said, I don't know a thing about what you've been through..." he mentioned. "If you wanna reject your father, then fine..." he continued. "But you don't have the right to be number one if you aren't gonna use your full power!" he shouted fiercely.


"Izuku..." Ayumi looked on with a worried expression. Shoto seemed hesitant in that moment, letting frost continue to build up around his body. He felt that by refusing to use his left side, he was rejecting his father's wishes. He'd be a fine hero without having to use his flames. At least... that's what he thought.

'You're trying to gaslight him into using his fire side,' Sora observed as he came to a realization. "Izuku...you're trying to save him, aren't you?"


"That's why... I'm going to win this!" Izuku exclaimed. "I'LL SURPASS YOU!" he screamed, slamming his right fist into his foe's gut, despite his five fingers being broken. He blew Shoto back as the frost building up along his body shattered. He thought back to his mother... and how she gave him his scar since his father pushed her over the edge.

And that's when he resolved to only use his ice over his fire. But ultimately, neither power he had was his parents'. In fact...

"IT'S YOURS!" Izuku roared out, "YOUR QUIRK, NOT HIS!" he added loudly. And in that very moment, thinking of the hero he admired the most... Shoto unleashed his flames. The warmth of them washed over the crowd as everyone looked on in amazement.


"Whoa!" Reina yelped out loud.

"So hot!" Ayumi marveled.

"He has that much fire power already?!" Kiba exclaimed. "Man, he's super OP!"

"Incredible..." Cyrus uttered, while Sora stared in disbelief as his eyes shook. 

To the surprise of the audience, and the annoyance of certain spectators, Endeavor shouted to his son from the stands, "Yes! Shoto! You've finally accepted yourself! It all starts with you! With my blood running through your veins, you will surpass me! This is the dawning of a new Era for us!"

"That guy really needs to work on his praising skills." Kiba blinked in deadpan shock.

"Some father." Cyrus said. "Sounds like he just wants his son to make up for his own failures."

 Sora glared at Endeavor, while gripping the railing very tightly, to the point the metal bent underneath his strength. "Oh, he'll surpass you! Not just as a hero, but as a human being." 

As Ayumi noticed him gripping the railing tightly, she looked on with worry. 'Sora...'


In the arena, Shoto and Izuku prepared themselves for one final clash, much to the concern of Cementoss and Midnight who were ready to step in to stop the two competitors from killing one another. Shoto was the first to attack, sending a giant ice wave towards Izuku, which the quirk inheritor avoided by using One For All in his legs to jump over it and dive at Shoto. Shoto quickly heated up the air, melting the ice in preparation for a giant attack, but Izuku countered the attack with a smash from his broken arm. "That's it, Midnight! I'm stopping the match!" Cementoss exclaimed, using his quirk to create several barriers, but their attacks collided, sending up a massive cloud of smoke that practically destroyed the stadium.

When the smoke finally settled, both Shoto and Izuku were still standing, with half of Shoto's shirt burned off and Izuku's arm completely broken. Seconds ticked by before Izuku muttered, "You win." until he collapsed backwards onto the arena floor, resulting in a still dazed and soot covered Midnight to announce the winner.

"Izuku Midoriya is KO'd, Todoroki advances!" the R-Rated hero announced.


The crowd roared in excitement, or were questioning Izuku's reckless usage of his quirk, while the Rangers discussed the match.

"Looks like Todoroki is advancing," Kiba said, looking back at his friends. "I hope Freckles won't be too disappointed." 

"He did his best, considering what his quirk was doing to his body then maybe it is better that he lost now before he causes a permanent injury to himself," Cyrus said. "If he hasn't yet."

"I guess that's true," Ayumi said. "Still, maybe Todoroki will learn from this, since he might've gotten past a lot of his personal issues during that match."

"Maybe so." Reina turned her attention to Sora. "Anyway, should we go check on String Bean? It looks like they're going to take him to the nurse's office so..."

"Yeah, you're right." Sora agreed as he turned to walk away from the railing and through the corridor as the others followed right behind him. 'Looks like we'll be facing off real soon, Todoroki...'

To Be Continued...

"Izuku/String Bean/Freckles!" The Rangers exclaimed upon entering the room. They spotted their injured friend propped up on one of the infirmary beds, his left leg strapped and both his arms wrapped close to his chest. Everyone dared to think that this was worse than what he had to endure after the Battle Trial. All Might was there too, looking just as stressed.

"Power Rangers!" He uttered, surprised to see the team.

"Sup, big guy!" Kiba greeted him.

"How is he?" Cyrus immediately asked as he gestured to the freckled teen.

"Not very good..." Recovery Girl admitted before facing Izuku. "The bones in your right arm were shattered. It will never be the same as before." 

"Damn." Reina made a light noise in response to that.

"H-He's...not gonna lose his arm, is he?" Ayumi asked, gasping in terror.

"Oh, heavens no. I'm going to have to remove the pieces of bones so they don't stay in his joints. That way I could heal him properly," Recovery Girl explained, letting out a sigh. "To push and light a fire in a child...who would go as far as to destroy his own body for what he yearns for..." The Youthful Heroine looks to All Might with disapproval. "I don't like it. You've gone too far. You, and this boy. You can't praise him for this." The No.1 looked to the ground, knowing that Recovery Girl was right.

"No, I don't think that was it." Sora suddenly said, interrupting her rant as she and the others looked to see him approaching the bed. "He... was fighting for himself..." he pointed out while looking at his friend., "He was fighting... to save Todoroki..." 

"Young Ukashi..." All Might uttered out, surprised by the Ranger's words.

The infirmary door slammed open, startling All Might and the team. "Deku/Midoriya!" Ochako exclaimed, accompanied by Tenya, Tsuyu, and Mineta.

"You scared me..." All Might muttered, holding his chest.

"Oh. Hello, sir," Ochaco greeted.

"H-Hello..."

"Hey, you guys!" Tsuyu said, noticing the HF team within the room as well. "Where did you go?"

"Yeah, we had something to take care of." Cyrus told her.

"Guys...the next match..." Izuku managed to utter as he opened his eyes.

"On hold until the arena is properly fixed," Tenya explained, moving his hands robotically.

"You and Todoroki totally wrecked the stage!" Kiba exclaimed.

"Lower your voice a little, dummy," Reina said.

Mineta trembled in fear. "That match earlier was scary, Midoriya...What pro's gonna want that?" Tsuyu then smacks him with her tongue.

"Now that's rubbing salt on the wound." she bluntly said.

"Am I wrong though?" Mineta challenged.

Ayumi frowned in reponse. "Hey! Any Pro would be lucky to have someone as dedicated as him!" She said, angrily.

"Alright, calm down!" Recovery Girl insisted as she came over, getting everyone's attention, "I need to focus on surgery right now!" she informed of them.

"Surgery?!"

"Go on. Off with you now," Recovery Girl said.

While the others asked the old nurse some questions, Sora paused and shifted his gaze to Izuku, who had his eyes on Toshinori, who watched Recovery Girl and the kids.

"Izuku." He called out, getting the former duo's attention. "Don't beat yourself up about what happened. Despite losing the match, you've broken through Todoroki's walls to save him." A proud smile curled up the corner of his lip. "If you ask me, that's the strength of a true hero."

Izuku's eyes widened largely at the Red Ranger's words, as well as All Might's.

"See ya out there, buddy." Sora turned and left the infirmary, closing the door with a click.


"What's wrong, Ochaco?" Tsuyu asked as everyone noticed the girl's worried expression.

"I know, but..." the brunette said, very full of concern. "He needs surgery. He really hurt himself."

Ayumi walked over and placed her hands on the girl's shoulders. "Hey, Recovery Girl's the best in U.A, he'll be fine!" she reassured.

"Yeah, you're right, Suzuni." Ochaco said, feeling a bit relieved.

"Ayumi." The Pink Ranger corrected, surprising the Zero Gravity user. "Call me Ayumi."

Ochaco blinked at this, before smiling. "Ayumi."

Kiba perked up at something. "Oh, right!" He spoke, turning to face Sora and Iida. "Aren't you two facing off against each other in the next match?"

"Indeed," the Engine Quirk user then turned his future opponent, bowing to him politely. "I'm honored to be fighting a worry opponent."

"Same here, Iida," Sora responded with a smirk. "Let's give it our all."

"Let's just hope that your next match doesn't end as fast as your last match with Monoma," Reina joked as she lightly nudged Sora's arm with her elbow.

"In Sora's defense, Monoma didn't exactly have anything to offer combat-wise." Cyrus shrugged.

"Well, we better get back to our seats." Kiba grinned, gesturing to the corridor. "I think this gonna be an awesome match!"


"Hey, you guys are back!" Sero was the first to notice the group of Reina, Cyrus, Kiba, Ochaco, Tsuyu, Mineta, and Ayumi all returning before the rest of the class did.

"Kibi!" Mina called happily, waving at the Yellow Ranger.

"Hey, Mimi!" Kiba waved back.

"Where have you guys been?" Jiro asked as Cyrus moved over to sit by Momo. 

"Yeah, you missed Uraraka's match against our resident firecracker." Kaminari told them.

"Shut up, moron!" Bakugo snapped.

"We had a quick emergency, but it's been taken care of." the Blue Ranger replied.

"Yo, Red." Reina greeted as she punched Kirishima in the shoulder. "Heard you were pretty badass in your fight."

"Hehe, yeah." The redhead laughed, rubbing his head sheepishly.

["Let's keep pumping out these things and move on!"] Present Mic announced, signaling for Sora to hear to the arena. He started walking. ["Time for the second match of the Second Round!"] Mic continued. ["Get ready to watch two new players duke it out!"] The crowd cheered as both the combatants got into the arena.

["He's the kid with engines in his legs, it's Tenya Iida from the Hero Course!"] Mic described, as Iida was looking determined to win. ["Verses, the warrior in red, who finished his last fight in two hits. Also from the Hero course, it's Sora Ukashiiiiiiiiii!"] The Red Ranger just had a smile on his face as he waved at the crowd that cheered for him.

Iida stared at Sora and vice versa. Both fighters were getting into their stances. This was going to be a close-quarters battle for sure.

"Oh! I feel the tension in the air!" Midnight remarked. "I can't wait for the action!"

Class 1-A was on the edge of their seats. They knew Sora held back during his fight with Monoma, but here, he could let loose and show everyone just how strong he was.

["READY!?"] Mic hyped up the crowd. This was it. Sora and Iida's time to shine. The battle that decided their careers. The battle that would show the world what they were made of. It was time to go beyond!

["BEGIN!"]

"RAAAAA!"

Sora's yell startled everyone as he launched himself forward faster than anyone would've believed.

'THAT WAS FAST!?' was the collective thought of Iida and everyone watching (except the Rangers) as Iida hopped back in an effort to get some distance between him and the onrushing Red Ranger. The young fighter drew his fist back as if he was going in with a right haymaker and Iida prepared his block and counter.

Sora fazed out.

'What?' Iida wondered, just as he felt a presence above him. He looked up and saw Sora dropping towards him, one leg high in the air, getting ready for an axe kick. The leg dropped and there was an explosion that sent rock and dust flying, forcing the spectators to shield their eyes. Iida emerged from the cloud, skidding backwards on the arena. Somehow, he'd managed to throw himself back and get out of the way.

The dust cleared and revealed Sora, the leg he'd used in the kick buried in rock up to the knee, and it looked as if he wasn't able to pull it out.

"Ahh, damn it!" He swore, as he put too much power in that kick.

Seeing his chance, Iida rushed in, jumped and threw a roundhouse kick.

Sora raised his right hand, as if answering a telephone, and caught the kick on his shoulder and upper arm muscle. Iida's eyes widened in astonishment as his attack was stopped as if it was nothing. The Red Ranger struggled for a moment then yelled as he threw his arm out, knocking Iida off balance and buying himself the time he needed to wrench his leg free.

The Engine Quirk user bounced back and skidded to a stop, snapping back into stance. Lee got himself under control and reassumed his pose as well.

A wind passed over the field, whipping Sora's hair into a wild frenzy. Neither fighter hesitated before speeding at each other again, eyes burning and fists ready to strike.

The two sprinted at each other, going into a speedy clash with Iida throwing his kicks and Sora countering each time.

Sora and Iida reappeared in a swirl of dust and a clap of thunder, the latter's shin slamming into Sora's as both tried to hit the other with a high kick that would've connected to the other's head if they both hadn't tried the same move at the same time, the shockwave from the colliding blows flying out with a whirling dust cloud.

The two bounced apart and got ready for another round of attacks.

["Oh man!"] Present Mic announced. ["I can tell this battle is sure going along fast!"]

Tenya began running again, this time circling Sora and observing his movements. He didn't have too many options fighting someone like Sora, so he had to think on the fly and come up with a plan that could maybe help him win the fight. He had his Recipro Burst, but he was only going to use that as a last resort, so he needed to try something else.

Sora kept his eye on Iida, watching how fast he was running and how far he was. When he got that figured out, he went on the offensive, using his speed to cut off Tenya and threw out his arm to clothesline him. Iida just barely managed to pull his upper body back and skid under the attack. He used his momentum to then grab the Red Ranger by the back of the shirt and then began sprinting towards the closest edge to the arena.

The crowd was cheering at the spectacle that was unfolding, meanwhile Class 1-A was impressed with how well Iida was doing so far, but they knew that it wasn't going to be over that quickly.

Tenya was getting closer to the edge, readying himself to throw his opponent out of the arena, but then was jerked to a stop. Sora firmly planted his feet on the ground to stop him, and it worked. He didn't have any time to react as Sora used his free hand to grab the arm that was holding him and then throw Iida over his shoulder and slam him to the ground. The Engine Quirk user winced from the shock, but snapped out of it when he saw his opponent jump in the air and attempt to slam him with his fist while he was on the ground.

Without any time to lose, he kicked himself up and out of the way of the attack, letting it strike the ground and causing it to crack a bit. Tenya then dashed towards Sora while he was getting his hand out of the ground and delivered a kick to the boy's back, making Sora flinch for a second, but he didn't stop there. Iida, with his leg still pressed to Sora's back, put more power into his engines, adding much more force and managing to make his opponent hit the ground hard a few yards away.


The crowd was cheering even more from the spectacle and Class 1-A was very surprised to see how well Iida was doing. A few actually had some stuff to say.

"Ooh, that's gotta hurt!" Kiba winced as he saw Sora get kicked in the back and sent flying by Iida.

"Wow." Tsuyu commented. "Iida's doing even better than I thought."

"Yeah." Sero agreed. "He's actually making progress against Ukashi."

"At least it's a step up from his last match against Hatsume," Reina added.

"His speed really is something else." Shoji remarked.

"And on top of that, he hasn't even used his special move." Kaminari pointed out.

"Then he might actually have a chance of beating Ukashi?" Kirishima thought out loud.

"Well, maybe." Izuku stated. "But that's only if he can surprise Sora at the beginning and then throw him out of the ring before he can retaliate."

Bakugo scoffed at that last comment.

"Even if Iida did use his special move from the Cavalry Battle, Sora could find a way to dodge it and his engines would stall after that, giving Sora the opportunity for a counterattack," Cyrus reminded his classmates.

"Yeah." Ayumi nodded as her gaze remained on the Red Ranger. "Even when it may seem impossible, Sora has a way to come out on top."

Tenya kept his eyes on Sora, watching him as he got up, shaking his head to get some dust off him. He didn't look damaged at all. It's just like Iida thought, he can't beat him by knockout. The best option is to win by ringout. But how? He's not going to use Recipro yet. He needed to try at least one more option first. He got himself ready for his next attempt.

The speedster then began sprinting around the arena, seemingly trapping Sora in a circle. Picking up more speed than he did to confuse him.

["IIDA HAS THE YOUNG UKASHI COMPLETELY SURROUNDED! AT THIS STAGE, CAN HE EVEN ESCAPE FROM IT!"] Present Mic pointed out.

'From this speed, I doubt he can see my movements,' Iida observed quietly as he continued his random pattern, with Sora making no effort to see where Iida was coming from. 

Just as he continued picking up more speed, time slowed down and Iida watched in shock as the other teen's head swiveled around and a single red eye glanced back at him.

 "Hehe. Not bad, Iida." The Red Ranger smirked.

 'No! He can see me!' Sora's reaction time was fast, and it'll be even faster now that he knows what kind of moves Iida will pull. He knew he can't win in a hand-to-hand fight with Sora, but there's still more tricks to do. If Iida were to win, he'd have to finish the battle quickly.

It's risky, but Iida's down to one more option left. If it worked, he'll most likely win, but if it didn't, he'd lose. But it was worth a shot. Iida took a deep breath, and prepared himself. Fortunately, he can rely on his speed to be unpredictable with his attacks, he only needs to be a little creative.

"Apologies, Ukashi. But this ends now!" Activating his Quirk, he caused blue flames to shoot out of the exhaust pipes of his engines. Sora's instincts went off as he realized what he was about to do.

"RECIPRO BURST!" Iida called out his special move as he ended his encirclement and shot towards Sora at high speed. When he closed the range, he jumped and lifted his right leg. As he assumed, Sora was able to dodge the attack at the last second.

He now had 10 seconds before his engines stalled. He had to win in that time frame. So, Iida used the momentum to lift up his left leg and swing back around to kick Sora in the back of the head...

Only for his eyes to nearly pop out of his head as Sora merely raised an arm and blocked the attack with much effort, even as the ground beneath them cracked upon impact.

This made everyone in the audience gasp in shock as Sora held him back. "About what you said earlier, I agree..." He began as he looked up at the shocked teen. "This ends now."

Using his other arm, Sora seized the speedster's leg and jerked the limb and Iida felt a jolt in his stomach as his path went from paused to circular as Sora began to spin, adding Iida's momentum to his own centripetal force.

Everyone present at the battle watched in awe as the Quirkless boy spun Iida once...twice...three times before he released his grip on the bespectacled boy and sent him flying away across the arena.

Getting his feet under him, Iida managed to stop his backward progress, screeching to a halt, just inches from the white line.

'That was too close. Another few feet and I would have gone over.' His thoughts were interrupted when he heard a rushing noise in front of him. 'What?' He managed to turn just in time to catch a glimpse of Sora, hanging over in the air, horizontal, one leg cocked back. The force of the brutal kick made Iida go flying once more, though this time, he was launched out of the arena.

Iida landed on the ground, sliding for a few seconds before stopping. He held his cheek for a bit, because that hurt him a bit more than expected. The crowd was still silent, until Midnight broke the silence. "Tenya Iida had been forced out of bounds!" She announced. "Sora Ukashi advances!"

Sora smiled, wiping his nose as the crowd cheered for his victory. He was genuinely surprised with his friend, because there were a few close calls.

He ran over to Tenya and helped his friend up. "That was a really good fight." He complimented. "You got some real power behind those legs."

Iida sighed as he sat up. "Not powerful enough, I suppose." He said. He then saw Sora reaching out his hand to him. Iida took it and smiled, as Sora pulled him back up to his feet.

"SO YOUTHFUL!" Midnight cried out in delight, just like she did when Kirishima and Tetsutetsu showed their good sportsmanship. 


"That spiky haired kid really turned it around at the end." A fish guy said.

"It looked pretty back and forth to me." A girl replied.

"The boy with the engines used his speed to try and overwhelm his opponent. Smart." Another guy said.

"But that other guy recovered and pushed him back a few times, even stopping that engine guy's attack with one arm!" A lizard guy remarked.

"That clash near the end though was pretty strong, right?" The female Hero next to the lizard added.

"It left a small crater." One of the Robots agreed. "You need a lot of strength to be able to do that."

"Are we sure he's Quirkless?" Another one asked.

"I don't know, but both of them were pretty good." A third Robot said. "They'll go pretty far."


Soon, both boys returned to their seats, where they both got surrounded by their class.

"Holy crap, Iida!" Kaminari complimented. "You managed to make Ukashi put in some effort."

"That fight was amazing!" Hagakure praised. "Both of you were at each other's throats."

"Seriously. When you did that move where you kicked Sora in the back, even I felt that!" Kiba exclaimed, rubbing his head in emphasis.

"For real!" Mina joined in. "I had no idea you could kick like that!"

"Very impressive, Iida." Tokoyami commented. "I thought Ukashi would be unbeatable, but you've given me some doubt about it."

The speedster was happy to receive the praise, but was a bit confused. "I'm surprised that you're not all congratulating Ukashi on his victory, but I do appreciate the kindness towards me."

"Well, we were expecting you to lose, so." Minoru stated, before getting slapped by Asui's tongue.

"What he means is that we predicted that Ukashi was going to win." Jiro corrected.

"But you nearly proved us wrong a few times, and that is worth praising." Shoji added.

"Not only that," Kirishima started. "But that first part of the fight was so manly! Keeping up with each other in speed, freaking badass!"

"Red's not wrong." Reina commented. "I mean, I was honestly surprised by how you got a few hits on Sora."

"I'd like to say I enjoyed this fight, Ukashi. It makes me even more determined to train harder so we can have a rematch." Iida told Sora.

"I look forward to it. But don't sell yourself short, man. Your brother would be proud of you for getting this far in the games." Sora said with a smile and his hands in his pockets.

"Thank you, Ukashi." Iida said with a nod. "I suppose this means that you'll be fighting against Todoroki in your next match. I wish you the best."

"Thanks, Iida," Sora said with a smile. 

Suddenly, Iida's whole body started shaking up and down. "Woah, man! What's going on with your body?!" Cyrus shouted in shock.

"No, it's just my phone." Iida replied, pulling out his phone from his pocket.

"Uh, I pretty sure people don't normally do that," Ayumi said awkwardly.

Iida looked at the caller ID and was a little surprised. It was his mother. "It's my mother. Excuse me, everyone. I'll have to take this."

"No worries, man." Sero waved off, before Iida walked off to find a private place to talk to his mother. 


"Hello, Mom? I hate to tell you this, but I lost." Iida said into the phone, standing behind a corner.

"No, son, son, I'm not calling about that. I mean, I'm sorry. But, Tenya, please listen carefully."

What she would say next would be repeated in the speedster's worst nightmares. Filling him with horror and disbelief by what she told him.

"It's your brother. A villain got Tensei!"


Hero Killer: Stain stared out into the city, his face contoured a look of glee and rage as he licked the blood off the blade of his worn and partially damaged katana.

The man who had haunted Tokyo's Heroes' cities was an intimidating, muscular person who walked with a distinct hunch and had a flat, somewhat-triangular face without a nose, and an extraordinarily long tongue, tainted with numerous small papillae. He had rather long, black hair, which he wore in a messy fashion; it would have draped over his face if not for his headband and mask, and small red eyes with tiny irises.

Armed to the teeth, he sported a dark combat suit, plated with metal armor across his body to holster his weapons. The torso was sleeveless, so he instead wraps his arms in yellow bandages, all the way from just below his shoulders to his wrists. He also wore long black wristbands and a watch on his left arm, and his knees were protected with metal pads, the costume completed by black boots with steel armor. He always dons his signature blood-red scarf and matching headband and the tattered cloth he wears around his face as a mask.

As he crouched down, on a water tower, high above the city, looking down at the alleyway entrance, he left the calling card; the bloodied, crippled body of Ingenium. No, he didn't kill him. But he did leave him to die. Leaving him for the police, who now surrounded the alleyway with civilians gathered around, to find.

"You haven't even noticed it, have you? This warped society mired by hypocrisy and vanity," he growled to himself, scouting for potential targets that would come running to Ingenium. The perfect bait. "That's fine; I'll open your eyes, 'Heroes.' You will see the world that you've created. The only ones worthy enought to kill me are All Might...and those called 'Power Rangers'."

He then heard the sound of something behind him. Stain's reaction was like lightning, swinging his sword at the person behind him.

Only for the blade to be caught by a purple mist. Behind him was none other than Kurogiri.

"Please remain calm. We are of the same mind. We have been searching for you, Hero Killer Stain. I've heard of your exploits and wanted to meet you in person." Said the purple portal villain.

Stain glared at the villain as he kept his guard up.

"I think you'll be interested in what we have to offer."

To Be Continued...

 

 

Notes:

Another chapter now completed! Hope you guys enjoyed this match between Sora and Tenya. I thought about having Sora Ranger up in this one, but I just couldn't see it. Don't get me wrong, Iida is fast. But...I don't think he could push Sora to Morph. But he'll definitely do in his upcoming fight with Todoroki so look forward to that!

Thank you very much for reading. "Power Rangers: Heroes Force" will return. Please be sure to favorite and follow if you like the story, and also review it. If you have any questions or discussions you'd have for me, then please in a review or a PM my profile.

Thank you for reading, may God bless you, and have a wonderful day.

Chapter Text

Musutafu, Japan

A little later, a lone person was seeing walking through the city. It was a moderately tall and rather muscular young man around the Rangers' ages, only slightly older. He had short hair that spiked outward with a bang hanging between his eyes. The color of it was evenly split between midnight blue on his right side and cyan on his left. He even appeared cyberware lines on his face and arms.

He wore a trench coat that was black and cyan-lined and knee-long in size with a cyan hood with gray coloring. He also wore a black turtleneck long sleeve shirt with a gray vest that was half-buttoned over it. He wore a black belt with a silver buckle. His pants were slacks, and were white with gray coloring. He also wore black fingerless gloves with metal plates on the back and bronze wrist guards. He wore near knee-high boots, black in color with cyan stripes down the middle and cyan straps, with silver toe-guards.

Lastly, on his left forearm, was a gauntlet-like device with a wide band, primarily white and cyan in color. It had a black grey faceplate in the middle (like a watch dial) that had a cyan hourglass shape.

"Where the heck am I?" He spoke before getting a good view of everything that was around him and hoped that he could figure out where he was

"Where the heck am I?" He spoke before getting a good view of everything that was around him and hoped that he could figure out where he was." He looked at the people, the buildings, the billboards and banners that were laid out across the city. It was then that he realized something.

Nothing was in English, the language was Japanese. Everything around him was written in Japanese. All the people around were speaking in Japanese too. But the craziest thing about this was that he could understand them. The writing and the language, he can understand them clearly like he's been doing this all his life.

He then suddenly stopped with his arms crossed, looking around at everything when he looked up and noticed several jumbotrons on some of the buildings. Yet...when he noticed the particular date, his eyes widened in disbelief.

"2025...?" He uttered, as realization seemed to hit him. "...I have been in cryostasis for nearly 12 years?"

"Well, well!" A male voice said. "What do we have here?"

The boy blinked out of his shock and looked up to see four adults in shady outfits exit the ally.

One adult had  the appearance of a humanoid shark, possessing a fin along with sharp teeth and a long jaw.

Another had a long tongue nearly reaching the floor and had warts all over his face.

The third one had a one eyes in the center of his face, giving him a cyclops appearance.

The final person was a muscular man with a lizard-like snout, sharp teeth, and thick black spikes along the back of his head.

The boy merely stared at the group as they laughed.

"Fresh meat on our turf." The lizard adult snickered. "Talk about a lucky break."

"That's a nice looking watch he's got there." The Cyclops man said, staring at the device. "Could fetch for a hefty amount of money."

"Perfect, it'll be enough to pay back what we owed too." The one with the long tongue croaked.

The boy only narrowed his eyes as he glared. "I'm going to say this only once. Fuck off."

The four suspicious-looking men merely laughed at this as his expression remained unchanged. "Big talk coming from some punk, little kid." The shark man said.

"Oh, scary."  The Cyclops mocked.

"Look, kid. We can do this the easy way or the hard way." The lizard man said, gesturing to the boy's gauntlet device.

Long tongue laughed in a creepy manner. "Exactly, just hand over that pretty little device or we'll take it by force." He said as the four men let their quirks flare but didn't attack.

That was a big mistake. Even if he was outnumbered, the dual-colored boy didn't appear intimidated at all.

He merely shook his head. "I don't have time for this." 

He soon started to walk off before the shark man chuckled. "Take him boys!" He said.

The other men soon advanced on him, ready to take him down. The boy seemed to stop in his tracks as the cyberware markings on his hands and arms began to glow a bright cyan, clicking open to reveal cybernatic parts inside. His spine also appeared to glow the same color, spreading throughout his body.

Just as he looked over his shoulder at them....a white light shined outward from his current spot, slowing time down around the group, as the thugs all seemed to move in a snail's pace.

The boy, however, appeared just fine as he quickly moved beside the shark man, leaving afterimages of himself behind.

With a look of disgust, the boy drew his right fist back before...

*BOOM*

Time went back to normal as the unknown teen's fist crashed into the shark thugs's face with all the gentleness of a stampeding bull elephant. The man went flying away, corkscrewing in the air before slamming directly into a wall with explosive force equal to an actual bomb.

 The man went flying away, corkscrewing in the air before slamming directly into a wall with explosive force equal to an actual bomb

The other men, who could now move regularly, jumped at the sound and turned to see the teen standing behind them. "W-What the...!?" Long Tongue gasped in shock.

"When did he get there!?" The cyclops exclaimed.

The cyan/black-haired teen simply turned his cold gaze on them in silence. "Next?"

Sports Festival - Stadium

"Kendo has been immobilized! Ibara moves to the next round!" Midnight announced, as Ibara had the redhead wrapped up and hanging over the stage.

The fight was definitely a very close one, to the point where everyone found it difficult to say who would win. In conclusion, while Kendo's raw strength was impressive, Ibara's versatility and control over her vines gave her the edge in a fight, though only by a little.

"Holy crap, that was awesome!" Kiba commented.

"I know, I was on the edge of my seat!" Ayumi agreeded with a nod.

"That could've ended either way..." Reina uttered as she watched both girls.

Cyrus hummed in thought. "Yeah, I'd say that Ibara girl merely won by a landslide at best."

"Indeed." Momo commented beside him. "Shiozaki's Quirk has very impressive range and defensive capabilites. You'd need to have a very fast to get up close."

"Looks like you'll be up against her next, Ukashi." Jiro noted to the Red Ranger.

"Yeah, though if I'm being honest...I kinda wished to face Kendo." Sora uttered. "She's got some incredible fighting skills."

["OKAY FOLKS, ONCE AGAIN THE ARENA IS BACK IN PRISTINE SHAPE, AND WE CAN OFFICIALLY BEGIN OUR FOURTH MATCH OF THE SECOND ROUND! COME ON DOWN, OUR INTREPID COMPETITORS, AND SHOW US A BATTLE WE WON'T SOON FORGET!"]

 As soon as Mina heard this, she practically leaped back onto her feet, her face was beaming and her pink hair was nearly standing on end with excitement. "Oh my gosh, it's finally time! I gotta get going! Watch me, guys, I don't want you to miss it!" She chirped before running off to the area.

"Wouldn't miss it!" Kiba chimed in.

"You've got this, Ashido!" Hagakure cheered.

 Ayumi joined in with a thumbs up. "Good luck!"

"Same to you, Tokoyami." Sora told the raven-head boy.

"Thanks for your encouragement." Tokoyami nodded before walking off.


["OKAY, LET'S GET THE FOURTH MATCH OF OUR SECOND ROUND ROLLING, LADIES AND GENTS! GET A GOOD LOOK AT BOTH OUR COMBATANTS, BECAUSE ONLY ONE WILL GET TO MOVE FORWARD FROM HERE! HIS FIERCE DEMEANOR AND MENACINGLY SWIFT QUIRK ARE PERFECTLY COMPLIMENTED BY EACH OTHER! HER AGILITY , HARD-HITTING FIGHTING STYLE AND POTENTIALLY DEVASTATING QUIRK ARE ALL ROUNDED OUT BY A BEAMING SMILE THAT RADIATES CHARM! FUMIKAGE TOKOYAMI VERSUS MINA ASHIDO!"]

Everyone in the crowd was once again cheering excitedly as Mina and Tokoyami were standing across the arena from each other. 

["BEGINNN!"]

At that, Tokoyami immediately summoned his Dark Shadow and sent it bolting across the arena straight at Mina, who by her visible flinch, clearly hadn't expected him to go all out like this right out the gate. She immediately reacted by trying to glide back and aside on her feet with her acid slick, quickly following with two thrown handfuls of acid aimed right at the shadowy mass.

Unfortunately, its body was able to contort, bend and twist around both her projectiles with almost mocking ease, and that only served to make Tokoyami send it at her even faster, easily intercepting her escape path before she could even react.

Kiba, Kirishima, and nearly half their classmates shot up from their seats, all voicing similar exclamations of shock and disbelief, as Dark Shadow finally collided with Mina, pushing her further and further back on her feet; and yet no matter how much she tried to either push back or try to wriggle her way out beside it, nothing worked. It simply kept her where it needed her, and with each passing second, kept forcing her further and further back.

Finally, before everyones' eyes, and to the collected gasps and cheers of the audience, Mina had ultimately gotten pushed on her feet all the way over the boundary of the ring, producing the crack of Midnight's cat o' nine tails, once more signifying the dreaded end. "ASHIDO IS OUT OF BOUNDS! TOKOYAMI ADVANCES TO THE THIRD ROUND!"

Everyone in the crowd continued to cheer as Tokoyami withdrew Dark Shadow and descended from the arena, while Mina simply balled her hands into fists and gave a single kick at the ground in childlike frustration, before just as quickly taking her leave.

As this was going on, Class 1-A was more or less looking at how versatile the edgelord of their class was with his quirk. "Whoa!" Mineta started. "He won that battle super fast."

"Tokoyami's Dark Shadow is...so amazing." Tsuyu commented in awe.

"I know, right? Especially with how it moves like that." Hagakure hummed in agreement.

 Kaminari grumbled with envy. "It must nice to have a Quirk that can basically fight all your battles while you relax and do nothing."

"Did you notice that Tokoyami sort of used the same strategy from his match against you?" Cyrus pondered to Momo, who blinked at this.

 "What do you mean?" 

"Well, Tokoyami mostly relies on his Quirk for combat, so it's possible that his strategy involves using Dark Shadow to push his opponent out of bounds; like what he did to you in the first round." 

"Kiba, what did you...?" Ayumi looked behind her, only to see said boy gone. "Huh? Where did Kiba go?"

Sora smirked knowingly. "If I have to guess, I'd say he's taking a page from Cy's book." 

Reina snorted at what Sora said. "Since when did he become a little Romeo?"

["ALL RIGHT, FOLKS, FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS ROUND, WE DIDN'T HAVE TO WATCH HALF THE RING GET DESTROYED, SO WE CAN GET RIGHT ON TO THE FINAL MATCH BEFORE THE SEMIFINALS! WILL OUR PARTICIPANTS COME ON UP?!"] Present Mic exclaimed loudly.

"Right on!" Kirishima jumped up from his seat. "Looks like it's me and Bakugo now!"

"Give him hell for me, Red." Reina said, tapping her fist against the redhead's chest.

"Yeah, do your best!" Ochaco grinned at him.

"Hey, Spandex!" Bakugo's voice called out to Sora. Looking up, he saw the red eyes of his classmate glaring up at him as he said, "You better not lose to IcyHot after this. I wanna kill you myself." Standing up and pointing accusingly at him, Bakugo continued, shouting, "You, Deku, and that icy-hot bastard have been ignoring me this whole time, and I won't put up with it anymore! You hear me?! I'm gonna destroy you and prove that I'm the number one student here!"

"Good luck with that, Blasty McSplode," Sora said with a dismissive wave as he walked away, Ayumi stifled a laugh at the name. "You've gotta make it past Kirishima and Tokoyami first."

"WHAT THE F-!"

"Calm down, dude! Save it for our match!" From then on, they could only hear the sounds of Bakugo swearing as Kirishima dragged him off.


Kiba was pretty much skipping every other step on his way down to the tunnel, before he nearly bowled into Mina rounding the last corner, barely managing to sidestep in time to where he only ended up planting his back against the opposite wall.

"Mimi!" He squeaked out.

"Kibi, what are you doing? What's the rush?" The downright casual tone she asked that question with, frankly, floored the Yellow Ranger as though he couldn't believe what he was hearing. 

"Uh, well...Our classmates and I just saw Tokoyami eliminate you from the tournament in less than a minute, and I wanted to check and see if you were okay."

Mina could only giggle to herself at how overly worried he sounded. "Of course I'm alright; all I got was a ring-out. I mean, it's not like he threw me around like a rag doll or anything like that."

Blinking at this, Kiba could only rub his head sheepishly with a laugh. "Right, that's true. Guess I got a bit worried for nothing, huh?"

The Acid Quirk user shook her head. "Nope. Actually, I think it's really sweet of you to come check on me. So thanks, Kibi." She then blushed as she smiled warmly at him.

 "No prob." Kiba nodded, gulping a little. "So, uh...I was actually coming to ask if you wanted to hangout sometime after the Festival ends?" he asked, scratching his cheek and blushing. The Acid Quirk user's own eyes shimmered again.

"Y-You mean like a date?"

"Y-Yeah." The Yellow Ranger answered. "Or an outing. Whichever's good for you."

"...Yeah, I'd love to!" Mina responded to his surprise.

"Great!" Kiba stammered in response. 

["ALL RIGHT, FOLKS, FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS ROUND, WE DIDN'T HAVE TO WATCH HALF THE RING GET DESTROYED, SO WE CAN GET RIGHT ON TO THE FINAL MATCH BEFORE THE SEMIFINALS! WILL OUR PARTICIPANTS COME ON UP?!"]

"Oh, sounds like it's Kirishima's turn!" Mina chirped, clasping her hands.

"Yeah, and I think he's facing Blasty McSplode too." Kiba blinked in thought.

"Well, let's get back to our seats!"

With an excited giggle, Mina grabbed his hand and hurried off. Not that Kiba minded it.


Back at the arena, Izuku got back to the bleachers and his friends noticed. "Izuku!" Ayumi called out.

"Hi, Midoriya." Tsu greeted the boy. "It looks like your surgery went okay."

"Yeah." Izuku stated as he sat down next to Ochaco. "Recovery Girl healed me up enough to walk."

"Sure, but shouldn't you be taking it easy?"The brunette mentioned, worried about her friend.

"I want to watch these matches in person." He explained. "This is where everyone's efforts were finally gonna pay off. But anyways, what did I miss?"

"Well, Ukashi beat Iida!" Hagakure responded, pumping her invisible hands up gleefully.

"Even though I won the match, he still put up a good fight." Sora nodded in confirmation.

Izuku looked surprised at this. "Really? I wish I could've seen it..." He muttered before looking around. "So, where is Iida?"

"The dude left to go talk with his mom on the phone." Reina informed him.

"What about Ashido and Tokoyami?" The freckled teen asked.

"Oh, Tokoyami won the fight, so right now his next opponent will be either Bakugo or Kirishima." Ojiro replied as he turned back to the fight.

Izuku nodded at this as everyone looked down at the arena.

Kirishima was on the offensive as Katsuki Bakugo was forced on the defense. The red haired boy went for a punch to the face, only to barely scratch the explosive student as he got blasted by an explosion, but it had no effect at all. ["He countered!"] Mic commentated.

"HA!" Kirishima taunted. "Nice try, but that's not gonna work on me, Explosion Boy!" He went back on the offensive, swinging rapidly towards Katsuki's face as the boy was forced to dodge.


Class 1B Stands

"Kirishima!" Tetsutetsu cheered his friendly rival on. "Go straight for his chin! HIS CHIN!"

"What, you're rooting for him now, man?" Juzo pointed out.


What's wrong with a person encouraging their rival to get stronger? A question for another time as Sora paid attention to the match, as Bakugo kept trying to counter in the same spot, over and over again, but still not having an effect. ["Bakugo's having a heck of a time dodging Kirishima's fierce attacks!"] Mic commentated.

Izuku finally came back to the stands, watching from the entrance. "Whoa, Kacchan's on the defensive?" He started to mutter again. "I guess Kirishima's Quirk seems simple on the surface, but it's still effective."

"That guy needs a off switch," Reina said with a deadpan gaze.

"I think it's cute," Ayumi giggled. "It's like watching Cyrus when he talks about science and tech."

"I'm not that bad!" The blue Ranger huffed, before blinking. "...right?"

"We're back!" Kiba called as he and Mina emerged from the corner, getting everyone's attention.

"Did we miss Bakugo's butt-whooping?" The latter questioned.

"Nah, you made it just in time." Sero replied, gesturing to the arena. "Seems like Kirishima's got him on the ropes."

"Noice!" Kiba grinned as he and Mina sit back down in their seats.

"Who do you think will win?" Shoji asked to no one in particular.

Without thinking, Momo answered the question. "Kirishima's Hardening has an advantage as it gives him incredible defense to most attacks, so it'll be quite hard to break through that," he muttered aloud. 

"But Bakugo's Explosions have also proven to be powerful on a few different occasions, so that might not even matter. I think it's gonna boil down to whoever has more gas in the tank." Cyrus hummed.

"I agree, his tenacity is something to behold," Tokoyami nodded to the both of them.

"Aw come on, give Kirishima a little more credit than that!" Mina pouted. "He took on some of those wackos from the League of Villains alongside Bakugo, and he was still ready to go!"

"That may be true, but I think he's just about hit his limit," Tsuyu said as she pointed down at the two combatants.


["WOHAA! Bakugo is countering again, but what's this? It seems to be working this time!"]

Kirishima was in pain from Bakugo's last attack, as the ash-blonde spoke up. "You've been straining to keep your whole body rock hard for this whole fight, right? But that means you're overusing your quirk. And sooner or later you'll fall apart!" The explosive boy then began sending out a barrage of point blank blasts at his opponent, smiling and letting out a war cry as he continued to batter Kirishima over and over again.

"Too much!" The redhead grunted, as the attack was overwhelming him, ripping pieces of his gym outfit off while he was losing the strength needed to keep both his quirk, and his guard up.

"The finishing blow! DIE!" Bakugo yelled out as he swung his arm and let out one final explosion that sent his opponent back, knocking the red head out. "There. Now I understand why you were trying to avoid a drawn out match with me."

"Kirishima has been knocked out!" Midnight stated. "Bakugo is the winner!"


"What are you doing idiot!?" Tetsutetsu called out. "I thought you had more guts than that Kirishima!"


Mina had a look of disbelief on her face at the outcome. "Kirishima...actually LOST?!"

"Damn," Reina groaned as she leaned back in her seat. "I totally thought Red had him there."

"It was closer than I would have predicted," Cyrus admitted as he pushed up his glasses.

["With that vicious bombing, Bakugo advances forward! However, because we have an extra challenger, one will be moved straight towards the last round! And they will fight against the strongest challenger that makes it to the final round!]

"And now, without further ado, the challenger that will be moving straight to the final round will be... Shoto Todoroki!" Midnight announced, as Todoroki's face appeared on the screen. 

["And that completes the final five!"]


Musutafu, Japan

Back in the city...it was messy. It could hardly even be called a fight. The cyan/dark-haired boy wasn't harmed in the slightest, and the four thugs were all unconscious, laying scattered across the ground with a broken bone or two and several missing teeth. The teen's arms soon clicked closed as his let his power dispel.

 'With all those powers that they possess, they decide to use them to harm others? They deserve more than just broken bones.' He took a step forward, going about his way as the wind blew through his hair and jacket. 'And if the other Meta-Humans in this world are like this trash... then they all deserve the same fate that I have in store for them.'

To Be Continued...

 

 

Notes:

Another chapter now completed! Seems like this new guy has a vendetta against those with Quirks and has goal of sorts.

As for the Festival, Todoroki has been pushed to the last round as the final opponent. Which means...it'll be Sora vs Ibara and Tokoyami vs Bakugo! Though we all know how these will play out soon enough.

Thank you very much for reading. "Power Rangers: Heroes Force" will return. Please be sure to favorite and follow if you like the story, and also review it. If you have any questions or discussions you'd have for me, then please in a review or a PM my profile.

Thank you for reading, may God bless you, and have a wonderful day.

["OKAY!"] Mic's voice was heard on the speakers. ["Now that the ring's been fixed up again, let's get the next match started!"]

That was Sora's cue to head into the ring. As he was walking to where he needed to go, he was thinking about who he was up against. Ibara Shiozaki from Class 1-B, from what he knew about her, she was the best in her class when it came to the practical exams, scoring ninth place in it. Her Vines quirk had a very large amount of utility, and could be used for both attacking and defending, and lastly, she seems to  have a very kind, but literal mindset.

Though she quickly took out Kaminari in her match, she didn't show off much of what she could do, but when she fought Kendo, the fight ended up being more challenging because of that. So his plan will be to just wear her down and then subdue her after she's exhausted herself.

The two fighters made it into the arena and then Mic continued his commentary. ["Looks like it's another 1-A vs 1-B fight! The girl who wants to be a Hero and nothing else, Ibara Shiozaki!"] She looked pleased with that description of herself. ["Versus, The boy in red who has shown off incredible feats of strength! Sora Ukashi!"] He waved at the crowd when they cheered him on.

The Red Ranger looked over towards his opponent and then spoke up. "Hey, let's make this a memorable battle."

She looked slightly confused, but she return his words with her own. "Yes. Let us make this fight unforgettable."

["Okay! First match of the third round, BEGIN!"] Mic announced.

Ibara immediately grew her vines and attempted to swarm Sora, but he was already waiting for them. When they reached his position, he dodged them as fast as they were coming towards him. A direct attack was useless for now, so he'll wait it out.

She decided to detach some vines and have them traverse underground while she continued a frontal attack with her hair, keeping her distance from the boy. The ground began to crack under Sora, and he noticed this, jumping up to see vines burst from underground and try to snare him up in a trap. They were close, but he managed to avoid the vines and move to another area in the arena.

Sora decided to speed things up by backflipping away from the vines that were still coming towards him at a slightly faster pace than her. Though Shiozaki was a good distance away from him, he was still able to keep up with her relentless attacks as he slowly made his way forward. She didn't move from her spot though.

Suddenly, the ground around Sora was cracking everywhere and he was suddenly surrounded on all sides by Ibara's vines. There were so many that they were blocking off his exit, and he was soon wrapped in dozens of vines, making a very large ball.

["Talk about a surprise attack!"] Mic announced. ["How much of those things can she make? Is the fight over? I don't see that big vine ball moving anytime soon."]

The crowd waited for five seconds, and Midnight then raised her hand. "Sora has been..."

"Power of the Phoenix!"

 Suddenly, the vine ball had burst into flames and was turned into ash in an instant. Having used the fire power of the Mystic Red Ranger, Nick Rusell, a torrent of flames was around Sora, but they soon dissipated and the Red Ranger was ready to continue. The crowd was silent, but then cheered on once more when they realized that the fight was going to continue.

"I wasn't expecting that." Sora complimented. "Nice job!"


As this was happening, the crowd was in a state of shock.

"What the hell?! Did he just surround himself in fire?!" 

 "I thought only Endeavor and his kid could do that!"

 "Are we sure that Ukashi kid really is Quirkless?"

 "Even if he isn't Quirkless, how the hell was he able to do all the other crazy stuff he did in the other events?"


In the bleachers, Class 1-B each had their own opinions of their rival classmate.

"Holy crap!" Tetsutetsu spoke up.

"He just burned off her vines like they were nothing!" Yosetsu pointed out.

"Is Shiozaki going to be okay?" Kinoko worried.

"Jeez, what can't this guy do?" Juzo said, annoyed. "He still hasn't even used that power from the race of Cavalry Battle."

"How strong is this guy?" Manga wondered, with a question mark on his face. 

"It would seem that this Ukashi person is quite skilled for someone who's Quirkless." Sen inferred.

"He's really strong too." Itsuka added, she watched Sora.

"No wonder they bent the rules to let him in." Monoma started. "If you have someone like that, then why wouldn't you disregard them to allow him to grow."

"Don't start ranting again, Monoma." Setsuna told her classmate. "Considering he beat you in 3 seconds flat."

"What, you have a new crush or something, Tokage?" Neito teased.

"You're one to talk. Perverse Person." Setsuna retorted. Remembering that he was labeled that during the scavenger hunt.

The blonde was about to respond, but he got chopped on the back of his neck again by Kendo, who just let him fall back in his chair, knocked out. He was correct though. This demonstration of skill and utility made class 1-B understand why Sora made it this far without a Quirk, but what they couldn't understand is why he was dragging the fight on. Is he just showing off or is he studying his opponent's attacks? Regardless, the fight wasn't over yet.


Ibara was shocked to see her vines taken out so easily, but she was soon taken out of her train of thought when her opponent spoke up.

"Time for me to let loose some more." The Red Ranger said as his hands lit up in flames. "Let's see how long you can last against your weakness! Roar of Flames!"

He shot a fire ball towards Ibara, who had turned around and detached some vines to shield herself. Though she was able to block the fire, it destroyed her shield in one attack. She turned back around and went for another barrage attack with her vines, but Sora easily burnt them away again. She did another underground trap below his feet, but he jumped up and used another fire blast to destroy the attack in an instant.

He landed on the ground and then used his speed to get close to Ibara, but she was barely able to react in time, encasing herself in a sphere of vines and then sending more out to try and push Sora back. The Red Ranger played along and backed off, burning away the vines that came towards him, then throwing his fire balls multiple times to take out the rest of the vines around the sphere.

After about five seconds of waiting, the sphere suddenly exploded, the vines wrapped themselves around Ibara, making a type of armor around her. She then went for multiple attacks at once, both above and below ground. A barrage of vines and traps from multiple angles going towards her opponent as fast as she could make them.

She was pushing herself and Sora noticed so he decided to stop messing around. He watched the ground closely and then jumped up the moment that a vine trap was underneath him. During that time, vines came from every direction once more, but Sora had an idea on how to take care of this, just to spice things up.

'Sorry, Natsu. I'm gonna borrow one of your moves!'

Rushing forward, Sora produced a large stream of fire from each of his arms, forming a pair of a phoenix wings. "Improvised Move! Phoenix Wing Attack!"

The moment said move came in contact with the vines, it burned them away into nothing but ash. 

["What!? In a shocking display of firepower, Ukashi has incinerated Ibara's vines! Talk about being on fire!"]


"No way!" Ayumi gasped in awe.

"Did he...!" Reina blinked with wide eyes.

"He totally modelled that move after seeing Natsu's flames in action." Cyrus confirmed with surprise of his own.

"That's the way, Cap!" Kiba cheered loudly. "Show your Fairy Tail side!"

"Natsu?" Momo blinked.

"Fairy Tail?" Jiro questioned, looking at the team.


Sora landed back on the ground and noticed Ibara struggling to keep this up, but she still had some fight left in her, letting out more vines, but not nearly as many as she was before.

Sora knew exactly how he was going to finish this fight, and now he just needed to get it ready. He stalled for time by staying in place and taking out the vines that came after him, then getting out of her range for a few more seconds. He began to focus, then when he was ready he ran forward, ready to end the match.

Shiozaki forsaken her vine like armor to use it as an attack, but then Sora blasted right through the vines, blowing them all away at once. Suddenly, a fireball was close to her face, but she narrowly dodged it, only to then turn back and see Sora's hand pointed at her in point-blank range. "Stop!" He called out.

She was instantly frozen in an unseen force, unable to move at all, and Sora used his Telekinesis power to move her out of the arena before releasing her. After waiting for a while, Midnight finally raised her hand. "Shiozaki is out of bounds!" She announced. "Ukashi advances!"

Sora raised his fists for a few seconds before walking over to Ibara. "Good match." He praised her. "That vine ball of yours was awesome."

"I was surprised when you started incorporating flames into your attacks." Ibara stated. "Though, why would you not just start with that?"

"Well, you didn't get to show off much of your skills with your first match and you only got a little serious against Kendo." The Red Ranger pointed out. "So, I figured that I dragged on the fight, we could see what you can really do."

"Oh." Ibara realized, now looking very pleased. "Thank you very much, Ukashi. I am grateful that you had done that for someone like me."

Sora smiled and gave a thumbs up. "It's just what I do. And just call me Sora."


During this time, Class 1-B was talking about the match.

"That Ukashi kid really is something else." Rin commented.

"Yeah." Shoda agreed. "Shiozaki is one of the best in the class, and he took her out easily."

"But he seemed to hold back on purpose, only taking her out after she exhausted herself." Shishida explained.

"Did he feel sorry for her or something?" Togaru asked, sounding a bit annoyed.

"More like he let her show off everything she could do." Reiko blankly corrected her classmate.

"That's actually pretty considerate, if that's the case." Bondo said.

"It's also stupid, because he could've lost halfway through." Shihai interjected.

"I'll go with the former." Yui voiced her opinion. "He looked unscathed after he got out, plus Ibara looks happy, even though she lost." She pointed at the vine haired girl, who was smiling, even though she was defeated.

"I agree with Kodai." Pony agreed. "Besides, he doesn't seem like a bad guy."

"He did push her out carefully, and commented her on her effort." Kaibara stated.

"He's strong and a nice guy?" Kosei asked out loud. "You sure this ain't some act, cause those two traits aren't very common these days."

"I'm gonna give him a pass, cause this's been a constant ever since I met him before the Festival." Tetsutetsu remarked.

"I'll give him a pass too." Kendo agreed. "Especially with that speech he gave earlier on ."

"Me too." Komori commented.

"Same here." Tokage agreed.

"Mm." Yui also agreed.

Now that the match was over, the two fighters went their separate ways. Ibara walked back to the bleachers and was asked about what the two of them were talking about, so she explained what Sora did for her. After that, class 1-B could easily see why he was let in.


"Aww, man! I missed Ukashi's fight!" A voice exclaimed, gaining the attention of the others. It was Kirishima, now awake with a bandage wrapped around his head.

 "Hey, Kirishima! You're finally up! " Sero said.

"Yeah, I guess Bakugo hit me a lot harder than I thought with that last attack." The red head commented, rubbing his forehead. "So, what I'd miss?"

"Well, Ukashi has defeated that Class 1-B girl." Sato explained.

"Yup, which means there are no more Class 1-B punks left!" Kaminari said with a chuckle, feeling more than pleased after his defeat against Ibara. "You heard that, losers? Better luck next year!" He shouted to the wall, no doubt talking to 1-B.

"Who said that?!" Someone from the 1-B stands yelled out, obviously pissed.

Suddenly, Jiro whacked him on the head. "Idiot! Don't make this worse than it is now!" She hissed at him with a stern look.

"But they're the ones who started it..." Kaminari grumbled as he folded his arms.

Reina rolled her eyes at Kaminari before she noticed a sort-of depressed look on Kirishima's face as he sat down next to her. "You know, if you're feeling bummed about your loss, I could help train you after the Sports Festival." She told her classmate. 

 Kirishima looked at her in surprise for offering to help him. "You really mean that, Fukukado?" 

 "Yeah, I can totally teach you a few moves that I know." Reina nodded as she gave him a smile. "Also, feel free to call me Reina."

"...R-Right!"


As Sora was making his way through the corridor, he noticed Tenya walking in his direction, seemingly in a hurry. 

"Iida." He spoke up, getting the speedster's attention. "Where ya been?"

"Ukashi. Sorry, but I'm in a hurry." Iida sounded stressed.

"Hey man, what's going on?" Sora asked his friend as he stopped a couple of feet away. "You don't look very good."

Iida's arm went limp as he turned to Sora with a dark, haunted look. "It's my brother, Tensei..." he said hoarsely. "My mom just called. She said... He... A villain got him."

Sora felt the blood drain from his face upon hearing those terrible words. "What?" He uttered out in shock. "I-Is he...?"

"I don't know yet," Iida replied with a pained look. "But... If I'm being honest, my mother didn't sound very confident."

"Do you want me to tell our classmates about... what you just told me? I mean, they deserve to know if you're planning to go see your mom and your brother."

"Just tell them I left for family reasons." It was all Iida said before he continued on his way.

Sora watched his classmate go with sympathy. He could only imgaine how much this was tearing Iida up inside. For his friend's sake, he prayed it wasn't serious. But something in his gut told him that things weren't going to be okay for Iida.


["Now's it time for the next match! Bakugo vs Tokoyami! But man, is Bakugo unstoppable!"] Present Mic's voice rang out through the stadium, but it was easily drowned out by the audience cheering for both of them.

"That thing is so damn annoying!" Bakugo snarled as he countered Dark Shadow's attack with his explosion, forcing Tokoyami to defend himself with Dark Shadow while his opponent forces him back with a barrage of violent explosions.

"Such brutailty..." The raven-headed boy gritted his teeth, unable to go on the offensive because of all the light Bakugo's Quirk is producing, which only weakened Dark Shadow as they went on the defensive.

["Tokoyami has advanced this far with his almost invincible Quirk, but this time he's completely focused on defense!"]


"What's that birdbrain doing!? He attacked super hard when he was up against me!" Mina shouted in frustration.

Momo frowned in thought. "There must be a reason..."

Cyrus' eyes lit up in realization. "Wait a minute...back during the Cavalry Battle, Dark Shadow was really affected by Kaminari's electricity. Which means, anything that gives off light is its weakness!"

Ayumi grimaced. "If that's the case, then this really is a bad matchup."

"Talk about light conquering darkness." Kiba muttered. "Though, I'm not sure if that's a good thing for this."


"You're in my way!" Bakugo blasted Dark Shadow with an explosion in mid-air, as his dilated red orbs glared down at Tokoyami as if he was a hinderance. "I'm gonna be the one to put that spandex bastard and IcyHot in their places!" 

"Grab him, Dark Shadow!" Tokoyami yelled as Dark Shadow lunged from his body and attempted to grab the ash blonde, who merely evades it by using an explosion to fly away and land behind Tokoyami.

["Wow, Bakugo has gotten behind Tokoyami!"]

Bakugo simply grunted and placed his hands together, creating a ball of light between them.

"STUN GRENADE!" The ball exploded, creating a large flash of light that made Dark Shadow scream in pain, and made Fumikage cover his eyes to protect himself. Katsuki ran up to him and fired a small explosion against his chest, sending the boy flying out of bounds.

"Tokoyami is out of bounds! Bakugo advances to the finals!" Midnight announced, making the audience explode in cheers.

["With that, the semi-final match will be between Sora Ukashi and Katsuki Bakugo!"]


"So, I'm facing Bakugo next, huh...?"

In the second Player waiting room, Sora was sitting and leaning against his chair, thinking over his next fight. He was mentally preparing, but not out of worry, more out of indecision. He always knew that Bakugo had it out for him and his friends, but also for Izuku. That, and he was always trying to prove that he was the big man on campus.

To Sora, this was more than just a match. This was an opportunity to humble the asshole badly.

BAM!

Sora lifted his head when the door was suddenly kicked open and its knob slammed against the wall.

And there stood the man of the hour. Bakugo froze at the doorway, confused when he saw Sora sitting in the room.

'Speak of the devil and he shall appear.' Sora thought with a deadpan expression. 

"Wait, what the hell are you doing here?! This is my space to-" He stopped when he looked at the sign outside of the room and saw it wasn't the room he was assigned to go to. "Crap, this is waiting room number two?"

Sora looked around the room to find a sign. But there was none to be seen. "I guess so." He said casually. "How you didn't see that before you stormed in is beyond me."

This simple response only irritated Bakugo, which wasn't hard to do for Sora. "Alright, fine, so I may have walked into the wrong room. But don't think that means I'm not going to be at the top of my game, you got that?!" Bakugo walked over to the table Sora was at, slamming his hand on the surface of the table and setting off an explosion. "You better bring all you got to this, you fucking extra!"

Sora didn't even flinch when the explosion went off, before looking up at Bakugo. He then stood up, glaring at his opponent. "Believe me, I plan on it." He declared firmly. "Now, do you mind? I'm trying to enjoy the peace and quiet until you came in." 

This got an annoyed reaction from Bakugo.

"Don't get all cocky just because you took out weaklings like Copycat, Glasses, and Vine Girl! even from where I was standing, I could tell you were holding back," Bakugo said. "When you and I fight, I promise it'll be ten times worse for you. You won't admit it, but you know just how dangerous I can be. Ever since you and your lousy group showed up, the attention has been on you bastards constantly. Even the Principal has taken a liking to you and I'm sick of it! So, believe me when I say that I'm going to enjoy making you, those Quirkless Extras you hang around with, and that damn nerd, Deku, regret ever stepping foot into U.A." 

This only infuriated Sora as he disrespected not only his friends, but Izuku as well. He was acting like a barely leashed, rabid animal.

"What's your problem with us and Izuku Midoriya, anyway?" Sora asked, remembering the way he'd acted during Aizawa's Quirk test.

"My issue with Deku is none of your fucking business!" Bakugo barked. "You cheating fuckers don't belong here! Everyone here got in with their own powers, while you quirkless cheaters wormed your way in with some stupid ass suits! So you better not hold back! Use your full power on me! I want everyone to know that Quirkless extras like you don't belong here! I'll show the world what a champion looks like!"

"Yeah, and what makes you think you've earned the right to tell me that?" Sora responded.

"Cause if you don't," Bakugo's hands were making small explosions, as if to intimidate his opponent, though it didn't affect Sora in the slightest. "I'll beat your ass so bad that you'll regret not taking me seriously, Spandex."

Sora and Bakugo glared at one another. One more hateful than the other. Bakugo scoffed, before turning to walk to the door. Stepping out of the room, he slammed the door shut, leaving the Red Ranger alone.

Sora narrowed his eyes with a clenched fist. "Your funeral, Short Fuse." He replied.


After a short 10 minute break, the flames at the four corners of the arena ring burst to life, signaling the beginning of the semi- final match.

The crowd was reaching an almost frenzied state when the two competitors emerged under Present Mic's announcements. ["Welcome to the semi-final match of the U.A. Sports Festival!"] Mic announced. ["In just a moment here, we'll see which challenger will emerge victorious and head to the finals! I CAN'T WAIT TO FIND OUT!"] 


"Man, a battle against those two? This is going to be intense!" Kirishima exclaimed with some sweat trailing down his face. 

"Bakugo seems to have been waiting for this moment for quite some time," Shoji noted. "Ukashi is an obstacle he desperately wants to overcome."

"But do you really think he can?" Tsuyu said. "Ukashi's just got so much power and skill at his disposal, and if he hasn't even used any of those suits all day. I think if he gets serious, then Bakugo's not gonna stand a chance."

"The match has not been told yet, so it would be unwise to automatically assume that Ukashi will win this," Tokoyami said, trying to be practical despite knowing of Sora's incredible strength. "Perhaps Bakugo has some sort of strategy in mind."

"I can definitely see that being the case," Izuku remarked, "Though I'm curious how Sora's gonna fight. He's not a vicious fighter like Bakugo. He's probably gonna try and hold back, though by how much, I'm not too sure."

Reina, Kiba, and Cyrus didn't say anything because they have full confidence that Sora's going to win the match. Even Reina and Kiba were mentally cheering for their friend, while also hoping that he gives Bakugo a well-deserved butt-whopping. 

 As for Ayumi, even though she already knows that Sora's going to win, she was still worried about him since he's going up against Bakugo. And she knows just how dangerous Bakugo, and his Quirk, can be.


The two semi-finalists walked into the arena as he continued to commentate. ["First up, the man whose explosive personality and quirk has beaten down the competition, from the Hero Course, Katsuki Bakugo!"] Said ash blonde had a serious look on his face, knowing who he's up against. ["Versus, the boy who's breezed through this tournament with impressive moves, though he ain't smiling right now, also from the Hero Course, Sora Ukashi!"] 

Mic was right, Sora wasn't smiling, in fact he was also giving off a very serious look towards his opponent.

["Now, BEGIN!"]

To Be Continued...

XXXXXXXXXX

["Now, BEGIN!"]

 The explosive boy primed himself to attack. "DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE!" He blasted himself forward, screaming at the top of his lungs. 

Sora saw it coming and jumped to the side to avoid the attack, but Bakugo used his quirk to correct himself and get right in Sora's face, stretching his arm forward and letting his quirk do the rest to his opponent, but the Red Ranger managed to lean back enough to avoid the blast and then use the momentum to do a backwards cartwheel in an attempt to kick Bakugo, as well as get himself back on his feet a good distance away.

The explosive boy used his free hand to blast himself out of the way of the kick and then corrected himself once more, gunning for Sora as he just got back onto his feet. Bakugo held his hand back and then moved it in an upward circular motion with his quirk activated, ripping the ground beneath them apart and letting debris fly in Sora's direction, which the boy destroyed by throwing a fireball.

Smoke was in between the two of them, so neither of the fighters could see each other for now. Sora made the first move by using the power of  Shane Clarke, the Red Ninja Storm Ranger: Air Ninjitsu.

 Creating a hand sign, Sora threw his hands outward, releasing a burst of air and letting it clear out the smoke with the force, only to see that Bakugo wasn't there. He looked around but couldn't see him, then he felt a pair of hands grab his shoulder and some of his hair. Bakugo used the smoke as a distraction to get in the air and get the jump on him.

"You better go all out on me!" He yelled out as he held onto Sora. "Cause that's the only way I'm gonna let this match end!" He got behind him and used his strength to throw him over his shoulders.

Sora corrected himself in the air and slammed his palm into the ground to stop himself, then looked to see Bakugo blitzing towards him, ready to attack once more. Once the explosive boy was in his face and sending out his next attack, the Red Ranger rolled out of the way and then slammed his leg into the ash blonde's ribs, launching him back a bit, but Bakugo used his explosions to slow himself to a stop and flip himself onto his feet. He then went on the attack once more.


The crowd was cheering like crazy, and Class 1-A was impressed to see that Bakugo was keeping Sora on the back foot.

"Sora's being pushed back?" Izuku said, shocked. "I knew Kacchan was amazing, but this is something else. I've never seen him fight so seriously before."

"Those two seem to have it out for each other." Tsuyu stated. "At least Bakugo does for Ukashi."


Back at the fight, Bakugo was charging straight for his opponent and getting ready for an attack, but Sora decided to go for one of his own before Bakugo could try it. The explosive boy saw it coming and extended both of his arms towards the ground, launching himself upward at an amazing speed, before adjusting his arms to do the same thing again, launching himself down to the ground, behind his opponent, and going for an attack, but Sora had spun himself around and bicycle-kicked Bakugo's hands upwards so his explosion detonated into the air. Bakugo had jumped back, getting some distance between the two and then shook his stricken wrists for a second, before getting ready to go again.

The two then launched at each other and dissolved into a dizzying series of blows, everything a blur, trading punches at full speed from about three feet away. Sora stayed with it because of his finely-tuned reflexes and martial arts skills while Bakugo stayed in because of his fine reflexes. They traded punches for almost a minute, an eternity in a battle such as that, before Sora managed to sneak a fast jab into Bakugo's chin, stunning him. Sora grabbed him by the shirt and headbutted him.

Stars exploded in Bakugo's vision as Sora's forehead met his face, nearly breaking the ash blonde's nose. A sweep of the legs put Bakugo's stomach in his throat before Sora's fist spiked him into the ground. Bakugo cried out, feeling the hard, unforgiving rock breaking beneath him like it was sugar candy.

Sora held Bakugo by the wrist, keeping control, giving the Red Ranger the option of breaking Bakugo's arm in a number of unpleasant ways should it really come to that. "Come on, Bakugo, I thought you were going to wipe the floor with me. Not get your ass handed to you by someone 'weaker than you'."

Bakugo bared bloody teeth at the other boy standing over him, red orbs shining with determination and anger. "Don't you look down on me!" he said. "I'll never surrender, not to Villains, not to Deku, and...sure...as...hell...not...YOU!"

He then threw an explosion into Sora's face. The other boy yelled, more in surprise than pain, stumbling back, wiping frantically at his eyes, trying to get his vision back. When Sora's vision finally returned, it was just in time to see Bakugo throwing his hand forward.

"DIE!"

The explosion roared from Bakugo's hand, consuming Sora. The other boy vanished into a wall of smoke. Bakugo smirked at this. "How do you like that!?"

"Honestly, it kinda tickled."

Bakugo whirled. Sora was standing behind him, totally unscathed except for the large hole burned into the side of his upper shirt, the edges of the hole ringed with blackened, scorched fibers. He had used the Super Speed of Connor McKnight, the Red Dino Thunder Ranger.

"My turn." Sora snarled before he vanished. Bakugo didn't even have time to react before Sora's fist smashed into his face again. Bakugo rolled with the punch, softening the blow, but white stars still exploded in his vision as he spun head over heels through the air, bouncing twice over the ground before managing to slide to a stop.


["What a spectacle!"] Present Mic commentated. ["The fighters seem to be evenly matched right now! I'm on the edge of my seat, and the battle only just started!"]


In the arena, Bakugo had released a sigh, the steam around his mouth being pushed away by his breath. He took a second to breath in before he stared directly at his opponent, noticing how the Red Ranger was in perfect condition, and it pissed him off. "You better stop screwing around." He growled.

"Excuse me?" Sora replied. "I'm fighting you like I mean it."

"BULLSHIT!" Bakugo yelled out.  "I can tell you're still pulling your punches against me!"


Back in the stands, Aizawa points something out to everyone. ["Bakugo's trying to provoke his opponent into going all out against him in order to properly gauge his strength. Seeing as his opponent has been holding back against everyone else, he wants to beat Ukashi at his best, to show that he's the strongest. Which I believe includes, having him morph."]

["Good to know, so then why not Ukashi just grant his request and just suit up?"] Mic wondered.

["You saw what the abilities of the Rangers are and what they faced."] Aizawa explained. ["Ukashi doesn't know if Bakugo can take his full strength, so he's pulling his punches to make sure that he doesn't accidentally injure or kill his opponent."]


In the stands, 1-A was concerned.

"I get why Sora would want to hold back, but Bakugo's not gonna let him do that." Kirishima said.

"What do you think, Deku?" Ochako asked her friend.

"Kacchan's the kind of person who seeks a total victory." Izuku explained. "He refuses to have anything less than that. In a simpler term, he's a perfectionist when it comes to his expectations in combat."

"So he won't allow the match to end unless Ukashi goes full power against him and he wins." Ojiro summarized.

"Well...yeah." Midoriya confirmed.

"But Mr. Aizawa is right about Sora potentially killing him if he does go all out." Reina reiterated.

"Does that goes for you guys as well?" Momo asked Cyrus, who slowly nodded.

"Our powers aren't meant to be used on people, only on very serious threats; like Igeron, the Batzlers, and the bulldozer robot and the cyborg werewolf from the news." 

"The dude's not wrong. I mean, you guys saw how Igeron easily killed Nomu and some of the members of the League of Villains at the USJ." Kiba added he reminded his classmates of what happened at the USJ.

"Plus, there are other monsters and villains that are just as powerful as Igeron," Ayumi added. "And he almost could've killed All Might if Sora didn't step in to save him."


Back in the arena, Bakugo spoke up again. "You bastard! I'll tell you what happens if you treat me like fodder. I'll kill you! I don't want there to be any doubt that I'm the best of the best at the Festival! That's only gonna happen if you come at me as hard as you can, right now! There's no point if you don't fight me with the same power you used against All Might and those bastards at the U.S.J.! You know how strong I was back then, and I've only gotten better ever since! If you don't want to win this, then why are you even here!?" He ran towards Sora. "SHOW EVERYONE YOU'RE TRYING TO DESTROY ME!"

The crowd was silent and just observed Sora, who was gritting his teeth, and looked like he just ran out of patience for his opponent. 

Without a word, he blitzed forward and struck his opponent in the stomach, launching Bakugo back a good distance, but the explosive boy used his quirk to force himself to a stop, staying in the arena. He winced in pain and then looked at Sora again.

The Red Ranger looked towards Bakugo with a calm, yet pissed off expression that startled the explosive boy slightly. "You want that?! FINE THEN!" Sora snarled before, in a shocking and epic moment, ripping open his shirt and revealing his heroic build chest underneath.

 "You want that?! FINE THEN!" Sora snarled before, in a shocking and epic moment, ripping open his shirt and revealing his heroic build chest underneath

 

XXXXXXXXXX


["WHAT'S THIS!? Ukashi has just thrown down the gauntlet in a surprising, yet manly way!"] Present Mic exclaimed loudly.

To say that everyone else was taken aback by this display would be an understatement.


"AHHH! SO YOUTHFUL!" Midnight squealed as she drooled happily from seeing such an image.


Class 1-B

"Whoa...talk about manly!" Tetsutetsu muttered with shock. 

 "Hot." Yui said with a stoic face, though if one looked closely, they see could redness in her cheeks.

 "W-Wow!" Kendo mumbled, as her own cheeks held a tinge of redness as she cleared her throat.

"Holy shit!" Setsuna exclaimed in pure shock.

"How sinful...!"  Ibara whispered as she had gone full red-faced, jaws hanging open.

Pony, Reiko and Kinoko held themselves slightly better, and then immediately glancing away, cheeks very red.


Class 1-A

"Oh my goodness...!" Momo gasped, blushing with a hand over her mouth, looking surprised.

"I-Is he seriously doing that right now?!" Jiro stammered, with a blush on her face while using her hand to look away.

 "Damn, that's the pinnacle of manliness!" Kirishima exclaimed with manly tears in his eyes as he saluted.

 Ochaco covering her face with her hands and started stuttering nonsense.

Izuku seemed too shock to say anything and noted how bold Sora was as even he wouldn't do something like that in the middle of a fight.

Seeing the girls react to Sora's actions, Kaminari and Mineta both sat there with jealous expressions, enivous of how many girls Sora was getting hot and bothered.

 "Huh." Mina blinked in awe before turning her gaze to Kiba. 'I wonder if Kibi's got the same build...'

"ALRIGHT, CAP!" The yellow Ranger cheered, standing up and raising a fist.

"Only Sora would do something like that." Cyrus chuckled as he shook his head.

"Just means he's finally in the mood." Reina smirked, before looking over at her best friend. "Right, Ayu?"

Immediately, the Pink Ranger's face went entirely red as a little blood trickled out of her nose. 

"A-A-A-A-ABS?!" she stammered, stumbling back and fainting, fortunately falling into Reina's arms.

"I'll take that as an agreement."

"KYAAA!" Hagakure screamed before she flew back with a small nose bleed flying throug the air. "Too powerful."

"Ribbit, Ukashi sure is quite a guy." Tsuyu croaked as she stared blankly.


 Serena gapsed in shock as she dropped the drink she was holding and stared at the screen. "EH!?"


"Hey, hey! That's kinda like what you do, Togata!" Nejire pointed, rapidly tapping the blonde boy's shoulder.

Mirio merely laughed at what Nejire said in a friendly manner. "I guess you could say that. Still, that's quite the fire in him."

Tamaki could only covered his eyes and shake his head. "But why do that in public? I'm getting de'ja vu."


Ignoring the noise around him, Sora held up his now glowing Morpher near his face. "...Cause, that's exactly what you'll get." He snarled. "IT'S MORPHIN TIME!"

 

He then spun the dial, right before a gumball-sized hologram of the Jungle Fury logo, that consisted of black stripes, floated on the dial's face.

["Bakugo might get his wish after all."] Aizawa spoke, seeing what Sora was about to do.

"Legendary Ranger Mode! Jungle Fury!" Sora shouted as he slammed his dial down. Soon, a red Ranger key appeared in his hand as he held up it before flicking it open.

"Jungle Beast, Spirit Unleashed!"

Sora then inserted the key into his Morpher's slot and turned it, becoming engulfed in a burst of red light.


Morphing Sequence: Jungle Fury

Sora's Hero Morpher glowed as he was standing in the middle of a red forest, before performing martial arts moves for a few seconds as his hands were glowing red while moving them around. He then brought his hands together before thrusting them forward with the Tiger Animal Spirit coming out. Sora rushes into the Tiger Animal Spirit, as it forms around his body turning into his Ranger suit. Suddenly, his helmet formed on his head before he struck a pose and more of him took different ones. Suddenly, the screen got scratched out to reveal Sora and the Tiger Spirit Zord.

Morphing Sequence Ends


"With the Strength of a Tiger, Jungle Fury Red Ranger!" Sora shouted while doing a few marital arts movements before posing. He wore a red suit with black stripes printed on the side. The arms and hips had a black square going across them. The outfit also sported some black gloves. The helmet of the Ranger resembled a tiger and had four lines on the forehead with a thin, black visor.

After the morph was done, the crowd and students all stared at the boy, slack-jawed and eyes widened in pure shock, amazed by the new transformation. Most of them realized the costume Sora was wearing resembled that of a martial artist.


"Wow, he changed into a whole new outfit!" Awase said in awe.

"He looks so badass right now." Sen said.

"He looks like a martial artist!" Pony said in amazement, switching to English by accident.

"Uh, Pony. You're talking in English again." Kendo pointed out to her classmate.

"Sorry, I got excited that I accidentally spoke in English." Pony said in slight embarrassment.

"I can't blame you since this is cool to see." Kendo agreed with the American girl. 

"No way! Since when did he have a costume like that?" Bondo asked in surprise.

"Don't know, but it appeared on him suddenly like the other one." Setsuna said in confusion.

"It's that device on his wrist." Shoda said, making the whole class look at him. "Before he transformed I noticed he used a device on his wrist to summon that costume." He pointed out to his classmates.

"Yes, I also noticed that as well," Ibara said in agreement. "Since Ukashi doesn't have any powers like the rest of us, he uses that device to make up for it."

"But isn't that kind of cheating?" Monoma said in an unpleasant tone. "I mean, he's just using a dumb toy to make himself stronger, while we have to work our butts off to get to this point. If anything it's unfair to the rest of us."

"That's not true, Monoma," Shishida said, correcting the blond. "There are some students that need special or personal Support Items in order to use their quirks. So Ukashi using that device is no different." He said in Sora's defense.

"True. Don't be jealous just because he looks cool," Reiko said with her arms up in a ghost position.

"I am not jealous!" Monoma argued back.

"That's what a jealous person would say," Kuroiro said, making most of the class laugh and Monoma angry.


"Hey, he changed into a whole new suit!" Kaminari pointed out.

"Huh, so he decided to go with Jungle Fury..." Reina hummed in acknowledgement. "Against someone like Blasty down there? Makes sense."

"What do you mean?" Ochaco asked.

"Well, you know how we used Lightspeed Rescue for the Rescue Training at the USJ?" Cyrus chimed in. "Well, the Ranger Mode Sora is using relies heavily on kung fu and martial arts. Hence, Jungle Fury."

"Wow." Koda said in a low tone, interested in seeing the tiger helmet.

"Remember when he summoned that giant tiger during the race?" Ayumi informed them. "Well, it came from that suit."


"I warned you about this, Bakugo." The Red Ranger reminded his opponent as he walked forward and waited for the explosive boy to attack him.

Bakugo smiled and yelled out. "PERFECT! Now I can kick your ass and show everyone I'm the best!"

He placed his arms behind him and then blasted himself forward, ready for round two, but Sora was ready for him, rushing faster in front of Bakugo and slamming his fist into his gut. The teen gagged, feeling bile rising in his throat.

Not giving him an inch, Sora proceeded to deliver a barrage of five more punches into Bakugo, lifting him off the ground, before ending it with a high kick into the jaw that sent the ash blond flipping backwards.

Bakugo managed to get his feet under him and skid to a halt, until he heard Sora's voice yell out, "I'm not done yet!" He looked up and saw Sora shooting straight towards him. Growling with fury, he clenched his trembling fist.

 "Then how about this!" Holding his arms up above his head, Bakugo brought them down before blowing the ground and launching himself up, along with a chunk of debris, into the air.. "I'm going to crush you like the bug you've always been!"

He then aimed his hands towards Sora and with his quirk, he blasted the chunks of debris towards the Red Ranger.

"Not bad!" Sora snorted, as he got a bright idea, if not a crazy one.

Just as one of the rocks was coming closer, Sora made a jump and landed on top of it, then he jumped on top of another rock and to another, approaching Bakugo while he was still in mid-air. The crowd just got on their feet as they were stunned to watch Sora jumping from one rock to another.

"You think you're so clever... I will make you know your place!" Bakugo shouted before propelling towards Sora.

Sora ran across a large boulder as he saw Bakugo coming closer to him. Reaching the end of the rock, and with his knees bent, he sprung up. Bakugo didn't have the time to prepare another attack when Sora was already closed in and grappled him, as they both spun around in the air with Sora planting his feet on the boy's chest. Before Bakugo tried to use his Quirk to get him off, Sora smashed his fist into his face and sent him towards the ground.

(Bakugo is Peter and Sora is Miles.)

The impact was hard, but Bakugo wasn't out of the fight just yet. When Sora landed on the ground and rushed towards him, he got on his knees and held out his arms with the palms facing each other.

"Stun Grenade!" Bakugo created a sphere of light between his hands that exploded into a large-scale flash. Sora was lost in the attack, as the smoke and fire covered his body. Grinning maniacally, Bakugo yelled, "How about that!? Still feeling cocky!?"

Sora suddenly reappeared in front of him, flying at him with his leg ready to kick. "I'm never cocky!" He kicked Bakugo in the face, sending him to the ground a few feet away towards the edge.

Somehow, he was still in the ring, so the match wasn't over. He was panting from the fatigue he got thanks to this match, and Sora noticed.

"Give up, Bakugo." He told his opponent. "I don't want to hurt you any more than I have to."

"Then why not just throw me out yourself?" Bakugo questioned, though he already knew the answer.

"You'll just use your quirk to keep yourself in the arena." Sora stated. "So I can't win by ring out against you."

"You're damn right you can't!" Bakugo yelled as he glared at his opponent. "I ain't letting this match end until I destroy you in that form of yours!"

"Then what are you waiting for?!" Sora yelled, running towards Bakugo. "Give me all you got! Show me you're serious! I'm right here!"

Bakugo grinned. "With pleasure!" He sprang towards Sora with his quirk.

"Spirit of the Tiger!" Sora shouted as his hands started to glow with red energy.

Once they both closed the gap once more, Bakugo threw a glowing punch, but Sora whipped his  arm into his to stop his attack while using his other arm to hook Bakugo's arm and started punching his ribs over and over, before releasing him.

Bakugo's face contorted in pain and anger at Sora exploiting his exposed torso, but he created an explosion in his hand.

Seeing Bakugo gathering his firepower into his fist. Acting quickly, Sora charged the small amount of red energy in his fist. In the blink of an eye, Sora and Bakugo launched their fists. But as Bakugo's fist inched closer to him, Sora leaned his head to the side before Bakugo's punch made contact and the explosion made his ear ring. Before Bakugo realized he missed, Sora's fist, which was imbued with Tiger Spirit power, punched him square in his jaw, making him fall and roll across the cold stone.

Bakugo regained his feet before glaring up towards Sora, as he wiped the small trail of blood off his mouth. He even felt his hands straining by using too much of his quirk, fully aware that he cannot keep going much longer.

Feeling that this fight must come to a conclusion, Bakugo took to the air with an explosion. "This is it! I'm coming at you with everything that I have! If you're gonna face me, don't you dare half-ass!" He then used his explosions to propel himself in a circular motion to create a tornado. The twister collects oxygen and momentum to fuel the subsequent explosion. This attack was his most powerful move.

Sora gritted his teeth in a grinning smile as his body became surrounded in red energy, respectfully while doing hand movements. "Bring it on!"

While Sora was readying his final attack, Bakugo sped towards him supersonic speeds, ready to detonate, and obliterate the Red Ranger once and for all

While Sora was readying his final attack, Bakugo sped towards him at supersonic speeds, ready to detonate, and obliterate the Red Ranger once and for all. When he was getting close enough, Bakugo readied his left hand to release one powerful explosion. One that rivaled an actual missile.

"HOWITZER IMPACT-!"

"CALL ON THE BEAST INSIDE! FREE THE TIGER!" Sora called out, thrusting his hands forward, as the second time that day, everyone had bear witness to the giant image of a red Tiger Spirit appearing as it launched right at Bakugo.

With a mighty roar, the Tiger Spirit tackled right into Bakugo, stopping his attack as it bit down on him before sending him flying across the arena, going off it, and ragdolling across the grass before hitting the wall with a hard thud; completely rendering him unconscious.

With it's job done, the Jungle Spirit faded away back into its owner while everybody watching the fight from the stands and even from TV tried to comprehend what just happened.

It took a moment for Midnight, but when she regained her senses, she smiled happily and raised her hand into the air to yell, "Bakugo is out of bounds. That means...SORA UKASHI ADVANCES TO THE FINAL ROUND!"

To Be Continued...

Man, what a chapter this was! Bakugo FINALLY got his ass handed to him by Sora (who still pulled his punches, especially at the end!) Hope you guys enjoyed watch him be humbled. But now, we head into the final round of Sora vs Todoroki! Look forward to that!

Sports Festival - Stadium

"Bakugo is out of bounds! Ukashi advances to the final round!" The stadium burst in a fiery frenzy of applause and cheering, far greater than anything before as the Red Ranger stood victorious, demorphing in the process. "That means the final fight will be between Ukashi and Todoroki!"

"Did you see what he just did?" a spectator asked, "He created that huge tiger from the race!""

"Forget that! Did you see that suit he was using!? Where did he even get that!?" Another exclaimed.

"This kid... he's probably gonna make it to the top ten after he graduates. Hell, he might even take the number two spot away from Endeavor."


The students of Class 1-A stood looking even more baffled than they were before, as if that was even possible.

"He did it!" Hagakure celebrated.

"Dude, that was a freaking intense match!" Sato said. "I didn't think he was this good."

"Right? It had me on the edge of my seat the entire time!" Sero added.

"I just can't believe he was able to tank Bakugo's explosion like that! I swear, Ukashi's like a tank!" Kirishima stated.

"A truly phenomenal display of power,"  Tokoyami remarked.

"They were so magnifique!" Aoyama commented, happy to have found a sparkling buddy.

 "He countered all of Bakugo's attacks like they were nothing," Tsuyu said with a finger on her cheek.

"Yeah, his movements were flawless." Ojiro said with a smile, as he was interested in going a few rounds with Sora in a spar.

"I'm more afraid of Ukashi, to be honest." Kaminari said with a scared tone. "Bakugo was going all out with his quirk, but Ukashi simply moped the floor with him. On top of that, he summoned a FREAKIN TIGER...AGAIN!"

As the other students gave their own opinions on the match, Cyrus, Reina, Kiba, and Ayumi all looked at each other and smiled at their leader/friend's victory.

After the announcement, Sora turned to Bakugo, and his eyes narrowed. He was still unconscious and in pretty bad shape. He wanted to leave him there, but couldn't bring himself to do it, not even if it was Bakugo. The Red Ranger jumped off the arena and jogged over to the fallen boy. After grabbing him and throwing him over his shoulder, he walked, he walked into the tunnel to get him to Recovery Girl.


After dropping Bakugo off to the nurse's office, Sora walked through the halls again with brand new P.E. shirt to replace the other one that he ripped off during the fight with his opponent. If he destroyed this one, then the school would be making him pay for each replacement.

He soon ran into Todoroki on the way up to their class' seating area, quite by accident. The two of them froze in place as their eyes met from across the hallway, but only for a second. Each one saw surprise in the other, then they set their shoulders and walked toward each other at a steady pace, though the heterochromic boy now kept his eyes downcast.

Todoroki looked troubled, Sora thought as he drew nearer to his classmate. Before he could stop himself, he halted in place a few feet away from his soon-to-be-opponent and asked, "Are you doing okay, Todoroki? Haven't seen you since your fight with Izuku."

The half-and-half young man stopped and raised his eyes to look directly at Sora with a strange, almost hollow, look. "Midoriya," he simply said, surprising his classmate.

"What about him?" Sora had to ask when it seemed that Todoroki was not about to be forthcoming with his words.

"You're friends with him, right?" Todoroki asked, his expression unreadable as he gazed down at his left hand.

"Yeah, I'd say so," Sora nodded, cocking his head curiously. "It's kinda hard not to be friends with the guy."

"Is he always so... helpful?" the other boy asked blankly.

Sora raised an eyebrow before he replied. "I mean, I've only known him for a short time. But overall, yeah, I'd say he's a very helpful guy in general."

"I know the feeling," Todoroki murmured as he lowered his hand and looked at Sora again. "You're lucky to have friends like him, Ukashi. Not to mention a family that supports you..."

Sora's brows knitted together as he recalled his meeting with Endeavor. "Well, to be honest with you...I had the pleasure of meeting 'Father of the Year' material earlier."

"What?" Todoroki said tightly as his gaze sharpened with traces of anger. "What did he want?"

"He mostly went on about how me and my team shouldn't be in U.A due to use being Quirkless," Sora snorted as his own eyebrows clenched. "You should've seen his face when I told him off, especially about being second-best. "Now I can understand you hating the guy's guts."

Todoroki's eyes widened at this, though he was more surprised when the Red Ranger patted his shoulder.

"But, like Izuku said, it's your Quirk, not your father's, and you're the protagonist of your own story. That means you get to make your own choices. You can choose what kind of person you want to be." Sora told him before walking past his final opponent.  "I'll see you on the field, Todoroki. I'll be bringing my best, so I hope that you do the same."

"...We'll see," Todoroki replied without turning around.


"Hey, guys look! Ukashi's back!" Ochaco said as she saw Sora arrive at the Class stands.

Then, pretty much everyone in the stands swarmed around the Red Ranger to congratulate him on his win.

"Ukashi, that was so manly!" Kirishima yelled in excitement.

"Yeah, that was insane." Shoji said with admiration in his voice.

"Watching you fight got me all pumped up!" Sato said while pumping his fist in the air.

"That finisher with that giant tiger of yours was epic, man! I wish I had that type of strength!" Sero said to him.

"For real, freakin metal." Jirou said to him with an exciting tone.

"Yes, I don't think I've ever seen such a powerful attack before except for All Might of course," Momo said with a smile.

"Yeah, yeah, your dodging was super amazing!" Mina said to him while hopping up and down.

"I also liked the part when you ripped off your shirt!" Toru said to him, eyeing Sora's chisled arms.

"You got to teach me how to fight like that, man. I want to send villains flying away too." Kamnairi asked.

"Thanks, guys." Sora replied before moving over to the railing, where his team was.

"It was like that when you were declared the winner too." Reina said to him.

"Yeah, even Ayumi there nearly lost her soul from your Hercules stunt," Kiba said with a grin. "I figured she was gonna be singing with angels."

"D-Do-Don't tell him that!" Ayumi squeaked out, blushing brightly. 

"O-Oh. Is that right?" Sora embarrassingly asked with a blush on his face.

Cyrus perked up at something. "Oh, by the way, did you happen to see Iida on the way here?"

 Sora winced at the question before regaining himself. "I did... but, I'm afraid that he won't be watching the finals." 

 "Did something happen?" Ochaco blinked.

 The Red Ranger turned to see the brunette, who asked that question, before noticing the rest of the class staring at him for answers about their absent classmate. 

 "Well, he told me to tell you all that he had to leave because of... family reasons. And that's about it."  Sora answered solemnly.

Those words sobered up the atmosphere quite a bit, and no one spoke for a few moments.

When someone did break the ice, it was Kaminari, who said, "Well, let's not worry about all that stuff yet. You've got a final match coming up, dude, and we're all gonna be rooting for you, got it?"

"Not Todoroki?" Sato laughed softly. "I think he just might be the crowd favorite, especially after his match with Midoriya."

"Dude, Ukashi literally pulled a badass move on national TV." Sero chimed in. "At this point, I think it's safe to say he's gonna have lots of fans."

"We'll be cheering for the both of you," Izuku answered on behalf of the others. "Either way, this match is sure to be a great one."

"He's right!" Hagakure said as she beamed at Sora. "You've come out on top through this whole competition, and I have faith that you'll bring it home."

"It's totally gonna be plus-ultra!" Kirishima grinned crookedly. "I'm so fired up just thinkin' about it!"

"Tag in?" Sora joked, causing the others to laugh. "Well, I'm not planning on holding back against him." He stated. "In fact, I'm gonna spice things up from the start." 

Before Sora could say anything else, he realized that he needed to get ready for the fight. "Just watch, cause this gonna be one to remember." He took off out of the stands to head down for the arena.


The arena was building up with the greatest tension and excitement yet. All around the world, families were huddling around their screens at home, people were standing out in the streets, looking at the jumbo screens to watch as the sports festival would come to its dramatic, mind-blowing conclusion. As soon as the two competitors came out of their exits, that exhilaration only skyrocketed.

["Welcome to the final battle of the U.A. High School Sports Festival!"] Present Mic boomed. ["In just a moment, we'll see just which first-years come out on top!"]


"Oh my god, this is it!" a spectator said.

"This battle's gonna be the best one yet! Both of them have insane moves that can envelop the entire ring!"

"I'm still betting my money on Ukashi, but I'm definitely sure Todoroki's gonna last longer than the other fighters!"

"I wonder if we're gonna see Todoroki's flames and the red suit Ukashi was using!"

["Yes, it all comes down to this, folks!"] The expressive hero began the short introductions for both fighters. ["Both have shown to be insanely powerful and creative with their Quirks and crazy powers, making this a battle of elites! From the Hero Course, Sora Ukashi!"] The Red Ranger looked determined. ["Versus, his classmate, Shoto Todoroki!"]

The tension and excitement was building in the spectator stand of Class 1-A, as well as the teachers' stand. All of them were eagerly waiting to see what kind of destructive forces the two opponents would unleash. 

Standing alone at the top of the stands, the number two hero was similarly waiting, with his arms folded and his expression as serious and intimidating as always. Though he narrowed his eyes at Sora. What the child had said to him earlier had managed to strike a deep nerve inside of him, and he was feeling extremely irritated at the moment. He was basically expecting his son to not hold back and put the brat in his place. However, seeing what Sora did his match with Bakugo, even he wasn't quite sure how this fight would go. 

["Now, Begin!"]

The dual quirk-wielding teenager started off by placing his hand on the ground and launching a massive ice attack. Seeing such a large-scale attack for his opponent's first move, Sora held up his Morpher. However, the ice quickly began to surround him, and within no time at all, he was completely trapped, entombed by the ice. It was very similar to the attack Todoroki used against Sero, but this time, his attack was more controlled, and it wasn't done with the same anger as before.

["Todoroki starts with a crazy ice blast! Ukashi seems to have been completely buried!"] Unfortunately for Shoto, this attack was not enough to dominate the red Ranger as shafts of red light, as bright and as shiny as a ruby, pierced the ice construct. The shell began to shake and tremble, more rays burst from the iceberg.

There was a flash and the light exploded outward, shattering the ice trap into thousands of particles.  Todoroki quickly created a small wall of ice behind him so that he wasn't pushed out of bounds.

"Look out!" A hero shouted, tackling his team, right as the shockwave from the explosion reached them, creating a strong and fast gust of wind that blew into the faces of the spectators, forcing them to shield their faces.

Down in the center of the arena was a massive cloud, hanging like fog over where Sora had been trapped. Todoroki tensed up as he prepared for an attack.

The fog began to swirl faster and faster, then the red light soon began to fade.

"Todoroki," Sora's voice called out, getting the full attention of his opponent. "As a sign of respect... and as a callback to your declaration..." There was a whump and the smoke went from swirling to rippling outward like a stone that'd been thrown into a river. "I'll fight you for real!"

Sora emerged from the maelstrom, but he was morphed into a Red Ranger suit with a certain symbol that consisted of a reptilian creature's foot with three toes and a spur in the back.

"Tyranno Power, Red Dino Ranger!" Sora shouted while swinging around a red staff with the one end being a headpiece, the other being a tail.

"Tyranno Power, Red Dino Ranger!" Sora shouted while swinging around a red staff with the one end being a headpiece, the other being a tail

["WOOOOWWW! UKASHI MANAGED TO BREAK TODOROKI'S INSANE OPENING ATTACK AND HAS PUT ON A WHOLE NEW SUIT THAN BEFORE!"]

 The crowd fanatically cheered, while the students in the spectator stands expressed some astonishment.


Class 1-B Stands

"Did Ukashi just change into another outfit?!" Pony asked in shock.

"Yeah, he did and it looks different than the one from before." Juzo agreed with a nod.

"You're right. The helmet's design looks like a dinosaur instead of a tiger." Shishida pointed out.

"It kinda looks like a Tyrannosaurus. Which means that outfit's dino-related." Setsuna said to the class.

"You might be right, Set." Kendo hummed. "Earlier, Ukashi used an attack with a giant tiger. So,  maybe this time, he's using powers related to dinosaurs!"

"Thanks, Prez." Setsuna said scratching the back of her head proudly.

Setsuna is a fan of anything dinosaur-related due to her Quirk's lizard-like nature.

"In any case, I wonder what he can do in that outfit?" Bondo asked in curiosity.

"Probably something awesome considering everything we've seen so far," Rin said, looking forward to what happens next.


Class 1-A Stands

Seeing the suit Sora was wearing, made everyone else's eyes widen in surprise. 

"Hey, it's that suit from the USJ!" Hagakure pointed out.

"Yeah, like the ones you guys wore when you fought All Might!" Mina chirped, looking at the Rangers.

"And when you summoned those dinosaurs!" Kaminari chimed in.

"Oh, that was merely a preview of what we can do." Reina waved off.

"Still, I'm surprised he used Dino Thunder." Ayumi said in complete surprise as she looked down at Sora. "I honestly thought he'd go with Mystic Force or Lost Galaxy..."

"Maybe Cap's got a plan of something." Kiba shrugged.

"I'm just more concerned about what he'll have to do to win, without going overboard." Cyrus added in his thoughts.

Those words shocked the class. "If you're worried about him going overboard, then I'm curious just how strong you guys actually are!" Jiro exclaimed.

"I know Ukashi was holding back against both the class 1-B guy, Iida and Shiozaki, but thinking about him doing that against Todoroki?" Tsuyu croaked.


The only other student who knew about its existence, was standing in the arena with Sora. Shoto remembered seeing his classmate use it against All Might back at the U.S.J. for a short time, but he didn't see much. Now he had to go up against it. He couldn't afford to take any chances, so he had to strike hard and fast in order to win.

The ice user launched a barrage towards his target, but Sora had met the attack head on, hopping back and twirling the Tyranno Staff in his hands, before pouncing forward and swinging straight through the attack, smashing the ice in almost an instant. Sora then jumped up and charged up a red energy orb from the T-Rex's head before firing it towards Todoroki, who rolled out of the way to dodge the attack. But he was open to attack from his opponent, who shot towards him in incredible speed and swung at the ice user's left side.

The ice user was still recovering from the attack and didn't have enough time to react when Sora bombarded him with a strong-hit combo, launching the boy towards the edge, only being saved by an ice wall made at the last second to catch himself. He took a moment to recover, but when he looked up, another energy orb was closing in on him. He rolled out of the way and let the attack destroy the ice barrier that was behind him.

When Todoroki stopped rolling, he launched another ice barrage towards Sora, but the Red Ranger easily avoided it, running to the side. After that, Shoto launched another barrage in the direction that his opponent was heading, attempting to cut the Red Ranger off. Sora had stopped in his tracks and was now in-between two ice clusters and the one who made them, in center.

Todoroki got himself ready to continue attacking, positioning himself to make a barrage that would cover the entire area he boxxed Sora into, but the Red Ranger had a different play in mind, using his enhanced super speed to blitz past Shoto and strike the ice user in the back, launching the boy into the center of the area that was boxxed off.

The young hero wasn't done yet though, and he kept his speed, deciding to take advantage of the environment that was created by his enemy. Sora launched himself towards one of the many stalagmites and latched the end of his Tyranno onto it, using the ice to rotate his body and build up momentum before blitzing towards the one who made the ice and slam his staff onto Todoroki's left side.

The attack caused the ice user to reel to the side from the force, but that was just the beginning. Sora stayed in his speed and went to the other ice cluster, repeating the action and slamming the Tyranno Staff onto his right arm, striking the joint in the elbow to make sure that he didn't break it. The Red Ranger repeated this action, over and over again, hitting Shoto's body parts in this specific order, his left shin, the right side of his ribs, his back, his stomach, his left thigh, his right shoulder, his chest.

Each strike was getting faster and faster as the barrage went on, and Todoroki was forced to his knees, with both his hands on the ground. Sora went for one more strike to slam his opponent into the floor, but the son of Endeavor had enough strength to freeze the ground around him, and was lucky enough to catch Sora's feet. He looked up and noticed his situation, deciding not to waste any time and make more ice around Sora, covering everything except the Red Ranger's head.

Shoto struggled to get himself back up, as he spoke up. "You weren't joking when you said you were going to take this fight seriously." He was about halfway back onto his feet. "That power and speed was nothing like before. Not even I could react to it, but this fight is over."

It was then that the ice user noticed something unbelievable. The ice around Sora was starting to crack rather quickly, and the charcoal-haired fighter was almost freed from his cold prison. Todoroki made more ice around the boy, but that only slowed him down for a few seconds. The HF leader broke all the ice that was on him and slid to the side, dodging any extra ice that was heading towards him. And worst of all for Shoto, Sora wasn't affected by the cold at all.

"Thanks, I was feeling a little hot." Sora quipped before blitzing Todoroki and kicking him right into a wall of ice, kicking up a fog cloud. When it settled, it revealed Todoroki was stuck in place, and was now very worried. He looked at where Sora was and saw the boy sliding on an ice path directly towards him. He closed his eyes and held his left arm in front of his face to protect it.

Sora jumped over Shoto and didn't attack the boy at all, landing on his feet behind his opponent and looking a bit annoyed. He then noticed Midnight raising her hand, and she started to speak. "Todoroki has..."

"He can get out of this!" Sora called out to Midnight, stopping her from stopping the match. "Just give him a minute!" He looked back at Shoto, and spoke to him. "We both know you can get out of this."

Todoroki struggled, trying to move his right side, but he couldn't do anything. "I...can't break it." He spoke up, his breath visible from the cold.

"You know that's not what I meant, Shoto." Sora stated, calling the dual Quirk user by his name. The ice user looked back at him as he continued to talk. "I'm giving you everything I've got right now, so I was hoping that you'd give me everything you had."

"I...can't just..." Todoroki started, but he was cut off.

"What are you doing!?" Endeavor's voice rang from the crowd. "Use your fire!" His gaze turned intense. "Quit playing around and put that Quirkless brat in his place, Shoto!"

Hearing each of Endeavor's words only pissed Sora off. He gritted his teeth and felt his anger rising. With growl, Sora turned his gaze to the no. 2 hero's direction.

"Will you shut up the hell up already, Second-Best!?" Sora shouted at the top of his lungs. His voice echoed across the stadium, rendering everyone silent. "This is a fight between me and Todoroki! STAY OUT OF IT!?" Midnight stood silently, dumbfounded by Sora's yell. Same could be said for Endeavor, though his expression was more angered than anything. With determination still burning in his eyes, Sora looks back at Todoroki, who merely stared at the Red Ranger in awe, not just because of his bold statement, but also because he had rendered someone like Endeavor speechless.

"Look, Shoto." Sora started. "I understand why you want nothing to do with that dick, believe me. But you have to let that go, or at the very least, bury it down when you're fighting, so that you don't waste your potential as a Hero."

"I..." The ice user started. 

"Don't tell me you forgot your declaration to me." Sora spoke up, making sure that the audience could hear him. "You claimed you would beat me with everything you had, so why won't you use your flames against me!? I'm respecting your strength, so you should respect mine! Find your flame!"

Shoto was deep in thought, looking unsure of what to do, contemplating what was just spoken to him. His left arm was starting to droop down and his eyes were closed. He was about to give up the fight, but was suddenly brought back to reality when he heard a voice from the bleachers.


"COME ON, TODOROKI!" It was Izuku, screaming from the top of his lungs, surprising the entire class. "DON'T GIVE UP! DO YOUR BEST!"

After realizing what Sora and Izuku were doing, as well as remembering Todoroki's match with Izuku, Ayumi began cheering for the ice user. "YEAH! GO FOR IT!" 


Though the class didn't understand why the broccoli-headed boy and blonde girl were cheering for Shoto and not their friend, Sora knew why and silently thought, "Thanks, guys."

He then saw something in Todoroki's eyes. Something like recognition, he thought. "Now come on!" He beckoned. "Let's see which one of us can set the standard for our generation!"

Todoroki's eyes were open once more, and hot air began to form around him. The ice on his right side was rapidly melting into steam and suddenly, flames had burst from Shoto's left side. He stood back up and turned around, looking at his opponent with reinvigorated determination.

Sora smiled and spoke up. "Hell, yeah!" He shouted. "Remember what he said to you! That fire is yours and yours alone to shape! Don't think about anything else, other than this moment!" He gripped his fist tightly as he got himself ready to continue. "Set your heart ablaze!"

The fire user ended up smiling as well, telling his opponent, "Both of you are insane. It's no wonder why you two are friends." The flames and ice on his body mirrored what he looked like in his last battle, but this time, Endeavor wasn't screaming at his son, allowing the boy to forget about him much easier. "So I suppose the real fight begins now?"

"Yeah, and now I can go 100%!" Sora replied, as he then released a huge surge of energy from his body, enveloping himself in light for a brief second. "Triassic Ranger, Engage!"

His helmet received a golden symbol on either side of the visor, with a blue diamond above it. Golden shoulder plates then appeared on his shoulders, as the diamonds on his arms and legs all turned a bright purple and gold color, along with his belt buckle, then his chest symbol received two extra claws on it.

In his right hand, he held a shield that resembled a Styracosaurus that was scarlet red, with the points on either side being black and gold, and the center pattern being gold.

In his right hand, he held a shield that resembled a Styracosaurus that was scarlet red, with the points on either side being black and gold, and the center pattern being gold

Once the light faded, Sora stood in his Triassic armour, which shined brightly. "Let's make this the best match of the tournament!"

The entire stadium was filled with shock: they were all extremely surprised by Sora's sudden change in his suit.


["WOW! It appears Ukashi has taken on an epic upgrade and BOY DOES HE LOOK BADASS!"]

["Since Todoroki has decides to use his flames, Ukashi must've decided to get serious."] Aizawa said. ["Impressive. Now, I'm wondering how this will end."]

XXXXXXXXXXX

Both fighters looked at each other, sizing up their opponent, figuring out how they were going to end the fight. But regardless of who won, it was going to be a spectacular battle that wouldn't be topped by anything else. The two fighters noticed that the teachers weren't stepping in, so they could just focus on the match. Now the real fight begins.

Shoto launched an ice barrage bigger than the one he used against Sero, blasting it towards Sora, but the Red Ranger met the attack head on. "Shield of Triumph!" He yelled, holding the powerful weapon out in front of him as it glowed red, destroying all the ice that was in front of him. The HF leader activated his speed and blitzed towards the ice that wasn't destroyed, pushing himself off of it and onto another and another to build up more speed and throw off Todoroki, but the flame user wasn't gonna fall for the same trick twice.

The son of Endeavor used his left side and blasted the entire area in front of him, setting that entire section in the arena ablaze as the ice surrounding him melted, and the cold air around him began to heat up and expand. Shoto held his hand forward and put even more heat in his flames, executing the exact same move that he used against Izuku.

Another explosion was made, but there were no cement walls stopping this one, so it hit its target. Once the smoke cleared though, the audience and Todoroki were shocked to see Sora, standing firmly with the Shield of Triumph in front of him. The Red Ranger lowered the shield and then looked at his opponent, ready to make his move. 

"My turn!" He declared, holding the shield sideways, as a blade retracted out of it. "Sword of Triumph, activate!"

He held it up and charged forward, going for a frontal attack to finish the fight. Shoto made an ice wall behind him and then froze the entire ground of the arena, but Sora leapt over the ice with ease as he continued onward. Todoroki then used his flames to try and burn his opponent in the air, but the Red Ranger increased his speed to close the distance, gripping his weapon before slamming it into Shoto's stomach. The force of the attack had shattered the ice wall behind him as Sora announced the move, "PREHISTORIC SLASH!"

Todoroki was sent flying out of the arena and hit the wall of the stadium. Sora stood tall as he held up the shield. He then heard Midnight call out, "Todoroki is...out of bounds! Ukashi wins!"

The entire stadium erupted into cheers at the top of their lungs. Sora's image appeared on the jumbo screen as he was declared the winner of the Sports Festival. Fireworks shot up into the air as rainbow confetti fell all around the stadium.

["AND, WITH THAT, THE FINAL MATCH IS OFFICIALLY OVER! THE FIRST-YEAR CHAMPION OF THE UA SPORTS FESTIVAL IS...SORA UKASHI FROM CLASS 1-A!"]

Sora looked all around him with wide eyes, almost finding himself hard to believe that the fight was finally over with him as the winner. As confetti fell on him and after hearing the announcement, he started smiling.

"YYYEEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" He yelled out, holding on the shield in victory.


Endeavor was speechless that his masterpiece was beaten at his best by a boy who was deemed Quirkless, and Class 1-A finally saw Sora at full power and were now voicing their opinions.


Ayumi and Hagakure hugged each other as they jumped up and down with big grins. "He did it! He did it! He did it!" They cheered loudly. 

"Now that's what I'm talking about!" Reina whooped in joy.

"HELL YEAH!" Kiba exclaimed at the top of his lungs.

"What an insane fight! I think I'm gonna give it a five out of five stars!" Mina praised.

"What...the heck even is he?" Sero asked, looking very pale.

"Holy crap, dude." Kaminari said dumbfoundedly. "He took out Todoroki easily."

"Yeah." Sato agreed. "He even used his fire, but he still couldn't beat Ukashi."

"He's really amazing!" Ojiro said as he and everyone got over their shock.

"These guys! Are so manly!" Kirishima exclaimed with tears in his eyes, finding unbridled respect not only to Sora, but also Todoroki.

"It's crazy." Shoji nodded. "We already know Ukashi could be stronger, but never imagined he would beat Todoroki like that."

"What was with that sword?" Jiro wondered. "Does it have its own perks or something?"

"Ribbit." Tsuyu added. "Maybe Ukashi thought Todoroki could take his full strength after what happened with you two, Midoriya?"

"Yeah..." The green-haired teenager looked down at his bandaged fingers, then back at his friend in the ring. Yet again, Izuku was being shown the astronomical difference in strength between the two of them. Still, he was about amazed by his friend.

"Talk about an amazing fight, though." Ochaco chirped. "So cool!"

"Incredible..." Momo said in complete surprise as she was taken back by the fight. "Just what was that?"

"That was Triassic Ranger," Cyrus said to her.

"Triassic Ranger...?" Momo asked.

"By harnessing the power of his Dino powers, Sora was able to use the power-up mode of his Ranger mode." Cyrus explained. "It increases his power far beyond what it was before."

"Amazing." Momo breathed out. "Now I see why you guys have him as the leader of your team."

"Yeah." Minoru added his two cents. "Amazingly terrifying! What did he do to get that strong?!"

"Worked his ass off, just like the rest of us." Reina snorted as she side-glanced the small boy. "Maybe you should try it sometime."

Mineta flinched at that, getting a chuckle from Jiro.


"Power Down!" Sora said, de-morphing back to normal. He then he ran over towards his defeated opponent to help him out. He had just managed to get to Shoto in time before he collapsed to the ground, catching him beforehand and wrapping his arm over his shoulders. "You okay?" He asked.

"Y...Yeah." The ice/flame user replied, leaning on the boy. "I didn't expect you...to be so strong."

"Well I usually don't show off my strength unless I have to." Sora stated. "I also only got this strong because I was working my butt off the past year."

Todoroki had slightly huffed at that response, replying with, "Then it's no wonder that you were able to remain strong at the USJ."

Sora smiled at that response. "Come on." He said, starting to escort his friend out of the area and towards an exit. "Let's get you to Recovery Girl, Shoto." The flame user nodded and let his opponent help him get to the nurse's office.

'Those kids are really really something else. There's no doubt that Bakugo and Todoroki are pretty strong and talented in combat, as well as the others to some degree. But it appears that Ukashi and his team had more combat experience than the other students. Ukashi, however... I could tell that he was somewhat holding back what he could really do.' Aizawa thought as he watched the boys leave.

To Be Continued...

After taking Todoroki to the nurse's office and letting Recovery girl do her thing, Sora and he began walking back to the stands, but the flame user stopped the Red Ranger about halfway to their destination. Sora had a feeling that this would happen and he leaned against the wall across from his friend, letting the ice user gather his thoughts.

"Once again, I was swayed into using my left side." Todoroki looked back down at his empty hand, recalling how Midoriya had told him to use his full power during their fight. "As I've said, both of you are insane."

"I guess so." Sora snickered before looking at the dual Quirk user. "He saw the pain you were in during your match with Sero, and he tried to do something about it by helping you use your fire, to get you to realize that it didn't mean you had to follow the path your father laid out for you. And if I'm being honest, this could be a stepping stone for you to move past that."

For a moment, Shoto said nothing as he looked shocked by the Red Ranger's words. However, he soon began to shake his head in denial, his face still reflecting the same anger as before. "No...I can't. I can't just forget everything that shitty old man of mine did to me and my mother...all the things I saw and heard him do to her and my siblings alike. I can't just forget all those years he tormented us that easily."

Even in the face of such palpable anger, however, Sora didn't flinch for once. Neither did his face reflect any kind of frustration or anger of his own. Instead, there was a new kind of softness in his ruby red eyes, a softness that could only reflect a regretful kind of understanding. "Shoto...I want you to be honest with me: do you really believe it's that you can't move on...or is it that you won't, and you're instead actively choosing to stay in that awful past, in all those years of hate and anger for him?"

At this question, above all others, Shoto's once angered face almost immediately softened, as if the words themselves had stricken him right in his heart. He looked visibly uncertain for the first time. Once again taking this as the best possible sign, Sora took another deep breath, preparing to try and finally bridge the gap between them.

"I do understand, man. It's the easiest thing in the world to just stay in that place of resentment and anger, because it's come to feel like the most familiar place to you. That's exactly what it felt like for me, because I used to get bullied or isolated for being Quirkless. Same for my friends. But I soon realized that that was no way to live. Wallowing in the poisons of such old feelings, it's downright suffocating, especially when you're trying to push yourself as hard as you can to try and reach the top. I know... and I think, deep down, you do as well."

"But you have even more reasons than I do to try and get yourself out of that place. You still have your whole family in your life. Most people don't have that, and have been dealt a bad hand in life. But there are others who try to pick themselves up and move on. So why aren't you able to at least try and do the same; not for your father... but for your own sake? Why aren't you able to simply make peace with the idea that you can use your left side for yourself, and not for him?"

With the full extent of his questions and intentions finally in the air between them, Sora watched as each word sank into Shoto's head; his face still reflecting the intense conflict they brought about. He began to slowly bring up his hands, switching his gaze between them as though he were going through an internal debate within himself.

"I can tell you're struggling with your decision." The HF leader let out a soft sigh and slightly lowered his head. "You've been through so much. All your life, you've been trained to be a weapon to usurp All Might. You never got the chance to live a normal life and escape the life your father made for you. So many emotions must be fighting inside of you..."

He compassionately placed his fist on Todoroki's chest.

"But, like Izuku said, it's your Quirk, not your father's, and you're the protagonist of your own story. That means you get to make your own choices. You can choose what kind of person you want to be. Just try to make sure that whatever choices you make, they're choices that you can be proud of." The dual Quirk-wielding teenager's eyes widened even further, and his mouth slightly gaped open in shock. "I'm sure you'll make whatever choice feels right to you."

With that, he stepped back and gestured down the hallway. "Now come on, we got a cermony to get to." He said as he began to step forward.

"Sora."

Hearing his name, the teen stopped mid-step and looked over his shoulder.

After a while of silence, Shoto spoke. "Thank you, for understanding me, and for helping me out." He clenched his hands and turned his gaze upward to the Red Ranger. "It might take some time, but I think I know what I need to do to become the Hero I want to be."

Sora blinked before he replied with. "Anytime. After all, that's what friends do." Then, the two boys walked down the corridor.


After a short break, the award ceremony was about to begin. Every first-year student was standing on the stadium floor, waiting for their classmates to arrive to applaud them for winning. "The first-year students have completed all of the events for the UA Sports Festival. Now it's time to relax and enjoy the award ceremony!" Midnight announced as victory music started playing on the speakers and fireworks shot into the air.

Smoke erupted from the ground as three podiums rose from below the ground.

Sora stood on the middle podium. The one for the first-place winner. He still couldn't believe he was standing on it. It felt like he won the Olympics, as he rubbed his head.

On the podium for the second-place winner was Shoto Todoroki, who stood calmly with his arms by his sides. Well, as calm as one would be when considering what was going on at the podium at the other end.

The podium for the third-place winner was what caught everyone's attention, and not in a good way. Katsuki Bakugo's body was restrained to the podium, his arms chained in extremely heavy-duty arm restraints, and a muzzle muffled his wild screaming over his mouth. When he had awakened, he went ballistic with fury and tried attacking Sora, yelling about how he wanted a rematch. It took a few of the faculty to get him under control, but now he was still angry at Sora for how the match ended.

His classmates were slightly perturbed by his raging against the restraints, almost fearing he'll break through and attack the nearest person.

"Wow..." Momo said. 

"Is that...Bakugo?" Kaminari asked.

"He's been struggling ever since woke up." Kirishima muttered, smiling nervously at Bakugo. "But come on Bakugo, pull yourself together."

"How does he even have energy to move?" Jiro asked.

"I heard Recovery Girl healed him enough to walk, but it looks like he's still covered in injuries," Ochaco said.

"I'm just surprised he's even moving," Ayumi said. "It must be his rage. He's too angry to realize his body's exhausted."

"He's like a feral animal," Tokoyami commented.

"That's one way to put it," Cyrus said

"Even I can't laugh at that. It's just embarrassing... In a bad way..." Kiba said as he slapped himself in the face.

Reina herself burst into a loud cackle of laughter. "Oh man, this is too good!" She pointed her finger at the thrashing ash-blonde. "He looks so dumb!" She exclaimed, doubling over while holding her stomach.

The explosive boy was still just screaming into his muzzle while struggling to try and get to Sora, while the boy in question was just looking at his classmate like he was stupid. 

"Damn, this is just sad, dude. Even for you." The charcoal teen uttered.

"Now, let's break out the hardware!" Midnight said, bringing Sora back to reality. "Of course, there's only one person worthy of distributing the awards."

Suddenly, a very familiar hearty laughter could be heard throughout the stadium as he appeared at the stadium's top. When everyone heard him, they all became excited. And then, All Might jumped down from the roof.

"Citizens! I AM HERE WITH THE MEDALS!"

"All Might, the Number One Hero!"

All Might and Midnight talked over each other as the Hero landed beside the R-Rated Heroine. There was a silent moment of awkwardness. He looked at her as Midnight clasped her hands in embarrassment. "Ruined that, didn't I?" She apologized.

All around them, the audience commented just how lucky this year of first-years was. Midnight as the umpire and now All Might as the one to present the medals?

"So, now that you're here, All Might, why don't you start the presentation?" Midnight asked, handing over the three medals to the Hero.

All Might chuckled and grabbed the bronze medal, before walking up to Bakugo. "Young Bakugo. This is a bit much." He said, and started to remove the muzzle. Sora saw this and quickly started waving his hand in a 'please don't do it' kind of way. The rest of Class 1-A's also did the same. "Even though you didn't win first place, getting third is still quite an accomplishment."

"All Might..." Bakugo growled with fury, confusing All Might. "I WON'T ACCEPT THAT MEDAL ! LET ME AT THAT FUCKING BASTARD! I REFUSE TO ACCEPT THIRD PLACE! I WANT TO BE NUMBER ONE!" Bakugo exploded with rage. Everyone in the arena could hear his yelling. All Might was definitely taken aback by the face he was making.

"Will you just let it go, man?" Sora said, annoyed with Bakugo's tantrum.

"SHUT UP, FREAK! I WANT A REMATCH RIGHT FUCKING NOW!" Bakugo screamed.

"Nah, I'm good." Sora simply stated,  irritating the boy even more.

All Might cleared his throat, trying to de-escalate things. "In a world where we're constantly being compared to one another. There are very few who can keep their eyes focused on the top spot. You're one of them." Bakugo's rage just continued to rise more and more. Making a face that was still scary. All Might held up the bronze medal. "Please accept this medal, even if you have to think of it as a scar. Something you'll never forget."

"I don't want that piece of garbage!" What ensued next was All Might trying to place the medal around Bakugo's neck, but the explosive blonde was making it difficult by putting his nose in the way. Eventually, All Might placed it in his mouth, letting it hang from his jaws.

The Number 1 Hero grabbed the silver medal and held it in front of Shoto. "Young Todoroki," He started. "Congratulations." Shoto bowed and let the Hero give him his medal. "I'm assuming there's a reason you were so hesitant to use your left side during your last match, even though you did in the end."

Shoto quietly told the man. "Midoriya had opened my eyes during our match. But then I started to doubt myself during Sora's, until he helped me as well. I think I understand a little about why you're so interested in Midoriya, and why the Principal has taken a liking for Sora and his team. I want to be the kind of Hero you are, but my path...isn't as clear as I thought it was. I have a lot to think about, and I still need to settle things with someone, very soon." The somber tone in his voice meant he wasn't talking about his father, but rather someone else, and Sora had an idea on who it might be.

All Might nodded and gave the ice/flame user a hug, saying, "I've never seen this sort of look on your face before. I won't ask for details, but trust yourself. I'm sure you'll work things out."

"Right." Todoroki replied, feeling comfortable with that advice.

All Might then moved onto the next and final award. Stepping up to Sora, the Hero looked down at the leader of his unique students with pride.

"Young Ukashi, you may have been born Quirkless, but you completely surpassed all expectations of you and rocked the world with every round of the Sports Festival. You pushed Young Todoroki to his absolute limit, changing him for the better. You helped your fellow students in the Obstacle Course, even though you were racing against each other. And when you beat Young Monoma, Iida, Shiozaki, and Bakugo, you stayed righteous and sportsmanlike; even bring Young Bakugo to Recovery Girl. Your actions and words inspired all of us, and I know that you'll have a bright future as a Hero and a Power Ranger."

All Might held up the gold medal to bestow it upon Sora, who smiled a small smile and leaned his head forward, allowing the Hero to place the Gold Medal around his neck. When he looked back up at the Hero, Sora's eyes widened when he was pulled into a hug.

"Thank you for lifting Young Midoriya with your words. I can't tell you how proud I am." All Might whispered in his ear. This made Sora grow the biggest smile he could ever have.

"Sure thing."

 All Might then turned to the crowd. "Here, they are! The winners of this year's Sports Festival! But listen closely! Any of you first-years could have ended up standing on the podiums. Think about what you've done today. You've challenged each other, learned, and climbed even closer towards your goals of being pros. I think the next generation of Heroes is proving to be our most promising one yet!"

All Might then pointed his finger into the air.

"So, I have one more thing to say. I want to hear everyone yell it with me. You know what it is."

"-Thank you for your hard work!" "PLUS ULTRA!" All Might and the audience yelled at the same time.

...

...

...

"WHAT!? THAT WAS THE PERFECT TIME TO SAY 'PLUS ULTRA,' ALL MIGHT!" Everyone in the crowd yelled as they booed the Hero.

"Well, yeah, I guess, but everyone did such a good job!" All Might replied with a shrug.


Later....

After everything had settled down, the entire class soon returned with their teachers, as they had changed back into their school uniforms. The Sports Festival showed them that your friends could be worthy opponents. They've all learned a lot about each other and themselves. But then only one that wasn't there to come to this revelation was the only one that wasn't with them. Iida's seat remained empty.

Aizawa rented the room, with his voice muffled by the bandages, Mr. Aizawa said, "Nice work everyone. You have the next two days of school off to recuperate. I'm sure the Pros who watched the festival will wanna recruit some of you. We'll look over the draft forms and update you when you return. Get some rest. You still have a lot of training."

"Yes, sir!"

Afterward, Sora was approached by his friends as they moved up to his desk.

"Sora!" Ayumi called out as she threw her arms around the Red Ranger with a bright smile. "Congratulations on winning!"

"All hail the conquering hero!" Kiba declared as he slammed his hand onto his back.

"Yeah, way to go, pal!" Cyrus joined, giving his friend a thumbs up.

"Eh, you were alright, I guess," Reina said with a shrug, before giving Sora a small smile as she punched his shoulder.

 "Thanks guys." Sora said, as Ayumi released him. 

"So, how does it feel?" She asked, gesturing to the medal around his neck.

The HF leader looked at his prize as he played with it a little. "It feels... Different, but in a good way. I guess I did good in getting recognized, right?" He shrugged a little.  

"No kidding." Kiba laughed, "I mean, if you were to tell me we were going to part of the Sports Festival in middle school, I would've called you crazy."

"You and me both honestly," Cyrus added. "Especially considering all that's happened..."

Sora perked up at this as he was thought back to when his team returned after their call from Katrina. He was about to ask them about it when Momo walked up to them.

"Pardon me for the interruption."  

"Oh, Yaoyorozu." Ayumi greeted her. "Is there something you need?" 

 "Well, do you all mind if I borrow Cyrus for a few minutes?" The dark-haired girl replied, glancing over to the bluenette.

Cyrus blinked at this. "Oh, sure." He nodded, before looking at his team. "I'll be back."

Kiba grinned as he pumped a fist. "Alright, Einstein!" He cheered.

With that, he and Momo walked off to the back of the classroom as the Rangers watched. "Well, they sure have gotten close." Reina spoke up.

"Maybe it has something to do with what went down after her match." Sora chimed in. 

 "And if I know Yaoyorozu, she definitely liked hearing it from Cyrus." Ayumi added as she thought back to when she noticed Momo being worried about Cyrus during Rescue Training.

Sora shook his head with a laugh. "Well, we should probably head to the gate. I'm sure Cy will join us soon."

"Right." The others all agreed before they started making their way out of the room.

Meanwhile, Cyrus and Momo stood by a desk as they faced each other. "So, what did you want to talk about?" Cyrus asked in curiousity.

"Do you recall accepting my offer about my family supporting you and your team?" Momo asked him.

The Blue Ranger nodded. "Yes, why do you ask?" 

 A blush crept on Momo's face as she twiddled her hands. "W-Well, after hearing you accept my offer, I was thinking that maybe we could discuss it more with my parents, over at my house."

 This made Cyrus' eyes widen in surprise. "You want me to come over to your house?"

"Yes," Momo said before stammering. "I-If you're okay with it. I figured we could talk about it tomorrow. That is, if you were available..."

"Of course! I mean, I would love to!" Cyrus replied with a nod.

Momo smiled brightly. "Really? You mean it?" 

 "Well, yeah," Cyrus replied as he then blushed lightly and scratched his cheek with his finger. "I'm actually curious to see what your house is like. Though, to be honest, I'm kinda nervous about what your parents will think of me when you introduce me to them." 

Momo waved her hands out in front of her. "Oh, please don't worry. I'm sure they will like you very much!"

"Well, okay then." Cyrus nodded in acceptance before he cleared his throat as he lightly blushed again. "Hey, um, if you don't mind me asking, do you mind giving me your phone number? Just in case if you want to get in touch with me."

"Sure!"


"Wait, really!? A Cyan Ranger?" Sora blinked in shock by what he was told.

While they were waiting for Cyrus by the front gate, Reina, Kiba and Ayumi all took the time to fill Sora in about the alert Katrina called them in for. Needless to say, he was surprised.

"Yeah, but the dude calls himself the 'Paladin Ranger'." Kiba informed.

"Paladin Ranger..."

"Not to mention that he was such a hardass." Reina grimaced as she recalled their interaction with the new Ranger. "Claiming to be a loner and crap. He even shoved Ayu."

Ayumi rubbed her arm. "I might've came on too strong." 

"Hmm." Sora hummed lowly. He couldn't believe this all went down while he was in the festival. "Well, what did Kat have to say about this?"

"She's gonna look into things regarding the new guy with Solon and Alpha." Reina told him.

"Got'cha."

"Hey guys!"

"Wait up!"

Hearing the sudden shouts, the group turned to see Kirishima and Mina running up to them.

"What are you guys doing here?" Ayumi asked the pair as they stopped in front of them.

"I just wanted to ask Kibi if we're still on for tomorrow." Mina replied as she looked over at the Yellow Ranger.

Kirishima rubbed his head sheepishly. "Same here with Reina."

The Green/Black Ranger blinked in realization. "Oh right. We did have something planned." She muttered before shrugging loosely. "Yeah, I'm down for it."

The redhead grinned at this. "Right on!"

Kiba's eyes lit up at this as he grinned. "You know it, Mimi!"

"Great!" Mina smiled brightly in return before handing him a slip of paper. "Here's my number! What do you say we meet at the train station at 10?"

"Sounds good to me!"

"Sweet! See ya~" The Acid Quirk user giggled in response before making her way out of the front gate.

Reina then looked at Kirishima with a head tilt. "Got your phone on you, Red?"

"Oh, yeah." The Hardening Quirk user answered, pulling out said device. "How come?"

The greenette took the boy's phone and proceeded to type in her number. "Here. If you ever wanna get together for some training, feel free to text or call me."

Kirishima smiled at this. "Sure thing! So, see ya tomorrow?" He then held a fist up to the girl. 

Only for Reina to return the gesture with a fist bump. "Definitely!"

With that, she waved him off as he left the school grounds. 

Sora and Ayumi both watched the whole thing go down with looks of surprise and amusement before the latter smirked.

"Wow, Rei. It's surprising that you took an interest in a boy."

"Yeah, what's going on between you and Ashido, Casanova?" Sora joked in a teasing manner at Kiba. 

As if just remembering his friends were still there, Kiba turned red. "O-Oh right." He then cleared  his throat. "Sorry, guys, I promised Mimi that we'd hangout after the Sports Festival."

Ayumi gasped as she clasped her hands together with sparkling eyes. "Aww, it sounds like you two have a date!"

"I guess so..."

"And who said that I have a crush on Red?!" Reina blushed after hearing, and thinking about, what Ayumi said. "I do not have a crush on him!"

"If that's true, then why did you give Kirishima your phone number?" Sora asked with a smirk.

"How else was I suppose to get a hold of him?" Reina retorted with a dead look. "Besides, what about you two and your relationship?"

Sora and Ayumi both froze at that as they blushed and looked at each other... only to immediately look away with their faces being completely bright red.

"Hey, guys! Sorry for the hold-up!" Cyrus called out as he ran over to his friends, only to see their various expressions. "Uhh...what did I miss?"

"Nothing!" Sora, Ayumi and Kiba blurted out in unison.

"So, what did Vice Rep want with you?" Reina asked, folding her arms under her bust.

Cyrus rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. "Oh, well...we actually plan to go talk with her parents tomorrow."

There was an awkward pause, before the other Rangers let out cries of shock. "EHH!?"

"Damn." Reina whistled, impressed.

"Wow, Einstein! You work fast!" Kiba exclaimed as he threw his arm around the blunette's neck.

"Wait, what?" Cyrus blinked in confusion. "What are you talking about?"

"You meeting her parents!" Ayumi gushed with a squeal. "That's a pretty big step in any relationship!"

"Seriously, man." Sora grinned at the the Blue Ranger. "Whatever you said to her after that match must've did wonders."

Realizing what they were getting at, Cyrus' face flushed with redness. "W-Wait, wait! Hold on! It's not what you think!" He yelled, throwing his arms out. "I took her up on her offer to support our team and we agreed to meet with her parents to discuss it!"

"Rightttt...okay, buddy." Kiba snickered, patting his friend on the back.

"Well, we should get a move on now." Reina spoke, gesturing to the exit. "Seems like we've all got a big day tomorrow."

The others all nodded at this as they begin to make their way from U.A.

"By the way..." Sora perked up, getting everyone's attention. "There's something you guys should know that involves Endeavor..."


Tenya reached the Hosu General Hospital as fast as he could. After entering the mostly empty front room, he rushed to the front desk and told them who he was and that he needed to know where his brother Tensei was. When the nurse behind the desk told him the room, Tenya bowed his head in appreciation, before taking off down the hall, with one of the nurses yelling to not run in the hallways.

But Tenya didn't listen. He had to reach his brother. So, up the stairs, he went, and then down the hallway. All the way down and sitting off to the side of the door on the other end was his mother.

"Mom!" He yelled out, gaining his mother's attention.

His mom looked up with a mask over her mouth. She stood up with a sorrowful look. "Oh, Tenya..."

"How is Tensei doing?!" Tenya asked when he reached her. When he didn't get an answer, he ran past her and opened the door. "BROTHER!"

His mother told him to keep his voice down and to put on a mask, but Tenya didn't hear it. All he could do was stare in shock at his brother. Tensei was hooked up to a support machine and looked the worst shape he's even been in. But he was still alive, as the beeping on the monitors indicated. "The anesthesia wore off, but he's still in and out." Said the doctor next to his bed. "If the surgery had happened any later, I don't know if he would have made it."

Tensei, hearing the voice of his family, slowly cracked open his eyes. "...Little...brother?...Is...that you?"

Tenya's mom started sobbing and slid down to the ground to grieve, while the second Iida son came to his brother. "Tensei. You're going to be fine!" He said, his serious voice breaking under the grief.

"Sorry. I'm supposed to be someone you can look up to and respect, but look at me."

Tenya's eyes welled up with tears. Remembering all those moments in his life when he was young, he would look up at his brother, and Tensei encouraged him to follow his dream.

"Tenya...Little brother...I'm so sorry. I failed you."

And for the first time in a long time, Tenya broke down. "TENSEI!"


The Todoroki Abode was a traditional Japanese house with outside views from walkways and a garden in the middle. And the same was for the interior, which resembled Japanese-styled rooms with tatami mats. Inside, one of its occupants was putting on his shoes to take a walk. It was the day after the Sports Festival, and for Shoto Todoroki, it was a big one.

He knew, deep down, he knew it would come. But he was going to see his mother on his own accord.

"Shoto, where are you going?" His sister asked. Fuyumi Todoroki was a young woman of average height with gray eyes. She had white hair, flecked with a few noticeable traces of a crimson-like color, which was mostly shoulder-length aside from the ear-length side bangs she sported and the short clump she left hanging down her forehead.

"The hospital." He simply said to her.

That truly surprised Fuyumi. "What? Hold on, why?" She asked as her brother put on the last shoe. Knowing what he was about to do, she tried to convince him to stop. Worried about what would happen if his father found out. "You can't just visit her. Not without telling Dad, right?"

"Whatever." Why should he care about what that man, the monster that put her in there, had to think? Shoto opened the door.

"But why go now?" Fuyumi asked. Asking the big question on her mind. "Why see her after all this time?"

"...I'll be back." He simply said, and closed the door.

It was a lovely day, and Shoto took his time on his way to the hospital. Walking through the streets of his town. Passing by families that were out and about. Happy to be together. How he wished his family turned out to be. But fate had other ideas. The words that his mother said to his grandmother replayed in his head over and over again. Like his head was working against him to not go through with it. Reminding him that he looked hideous to her.

Soon, after taking a train and crossing a bridge, Shoto stood before the hospital where his mother lived.

Ever since that day, he thought the sight of him would cause his mother nothing but pain. So he never visited. Taking a deep breath, he crossed the gate and walked into the hospital. When he entered, everyone was shocked beyond belief. They couldn't believe that the son his mother had burnt, which she thought she'd never see or who never wanted to see her, asked where she was to visit.

He walked to her room's door, and paused in front of it. Shoto reached for the knob, but stopped and lowered his hand. He sighed and remembered his mother's words from when she was still with him. How it was okay to use his power to become who he wanted to be.

In his heart, he knew this had to happen. Admittedly, it was all thanks to Izuku and Sora. Both pushed him to the very limit and opened his eyes with their actions and words. But even then, he was still conflicted. He couldn't use his fire without thinking about that day. The day he was burned. But it was his power, and one he had to come to terms with.

Shoto knew that he and his mother would always be bound to each other. By blood. By their history with his father. That's why if he was ever going to use his body and powers to become a Hero - if Shoto was to take on the great responsibility that came with his extraordinary powers. If he was going to give it everything he had, and become the Hero he wanted to be, Shoto had to see her. There's so much they need to talk about.

After a moment, he opened the door. Blinding light shined into the room and the woman was sitting on a chair. She gazed at the outside world from the window.

Shoto looked at the woman, who didn't seem to hear that the door opened. He stepped into the room and closed the door. He stood there for a moment before finally speaking to her for the first time in years.

"Hello, mom."

She gasped lightly before turning around and seeing him. Shoto stared at her as she stared at him, finally recognizing his two-colored hair and the scar she gave him. It was as if time had stopped for them.

Her name was Rei Todoroki. A middle-aged woman with an average height and build, she had straight shoulder-length white hair with rather long bangs over her face. Longer than her hair used to be in the past. Her face had round features, having mellow expressions in casual situations. Her tired-looking eyes are brown-gray with reasonably long eyelashes.

Time had seemingly restored her beauty, bringing back the kind and gentle woman Shoto believed was gone. Shoto vowed to rescue her from this place. No matter what. That's his first step to getting back on track. It's what he had to do.

For the Future Heroes, the games were finally over, and their lives will be forever changed.

To Be Continued...

There we go! The Sports Festival finally comes to an end! Before we head into the next arc, we're gonna have the Rangers having moments with their romance partners for further development. Which ship should I write about first?

Sora x Ayumi

Reina x Kirishima

Cyrus x Momo

Kiba x Mina

What do you guys think? Should I head into the Internships/Power of the Paladin Arc? Or go into the RWBY Arc?

If for the Internships, I was thinking of the Hero names for the team to be simple. Nothing too flashly. Ex. Ranger Red, Ranger Blue, etc.

Thank you very much for reading. "Power Rangers: Heroes Force" will return. Please be sure to favorite and follow if you like the story, and also review it. If you have any questions or discussions you'd have for me, then please in a review or a PM my profile.

Thank you for reading, may God bless you, and have a wonderful day.

 

Chapter 76: Chapter 19.5 Pt.1 - Origins of Pink

Notes:

Here's another chapter for you guys. Well, more like a filler chapter for the students as they have some time off. Besides, what could happen within 2 days of free time?

Chapter Text

 

 Besides, what could happen within 2 days of free time?

Ayumi Suzuni lived in luxury. As the only child born into  one of the wealthiest and most recognizable companies in the country, Suzuni Incorporated,  She was born with everything, and her comforts were guaranteed so she wouldn't want anything...

But there was ONE thing they never had.

Her family had always been quirkless. As long as quirks have been around, not a single member of the Suzuni family has had a quirk, on both her mother's and her father's sides. They used to tell her that that was one of the things that brought them together: their lack of powers.

Regardless, they were still a happy family, despite of that.  

But, when Ayumi was nine, that's when things started to change...


"Mama, you can't leave me! Don't die! What will I do without you!" Ayumi cried.

Her mother was soon brought to the hospital while it began to rain hard as Ayumi and her father stood next to her hospital bed with doctors all around.

"Don't worry, sweetie! Everything's gonna be fine." Her mother assured her, holding out her hand as the little girl took it. "You're a very special girl. I  saw it the day you were born, that's why we named you 'Ayumi' and now you have to be strong." 

"Don't say that, Mama! I can't be strong! Not without you! I need you please!" Ayumi cried with tears spilling down her face.

"I love you and I always will; nothing can change that" Her mother said as she began to grunt.

"Mama! Mama!" Ayumi cried.

"Nurse! I'm going to need some oxygen here!" the doctor said.

"Right!" the nurse said, running to get it.

"Come with me, let's wait outside." the other nurse said to the girl's father.

"Let's go, Ayumi." Her father said as he took her to the door.

"What's wrong with her? Is she going to be okay? Mama!" Ayumi said as the doors closed and a red light came on above them. "MAMA!"

It happened on her ninth birthday in fact. Her mother passed away on that day, due to a rare heart virus.

It took one moment to shake the foundation...

Life grew lonelier for Ayumi after that.

Her father grew distant after his wife's death as he buried himself into his work, became overly obsessed with his business and money, and he had even neglected Ayumi unless it was business related. Sure, she shared a good relationship with the staff in the estate, but it wasn't the same.

And that wasn't the end of it...


"Did you know Suzuni comes from a wealthy family?"

"Really? Then, why did she enroll here?"

"Probably to look down on the rest of us to make up for not having a Quirk!" 

"Talk about 'Spoiled Brat'! Let's just ignore her!"

 The smiling and friendly faces she came to know turned out to be masks to hide ulterior motives. Ayumi soon realized that she had been surrounded by liars and pretenders who only affiliated themselves with her solely for her name. And it hurt her more to speak with those people, knowing full well that they didn't care for Ayumi. They only cared for the family name. 

And to further hit the nail, the others kid began to pick on her. Not only for being Quirkless, but also for thinking that she was acting above them.

She would often cry in front of her grave and hold the necklace that her mother gave as a last gift.

As the years dragged on, Ayumi felt alone. That is until they came into her life. Especially HIM.


With a deep breath, Ayumi stepped forward to the front gate, opening it and approaching the front door, before giving the doorbell a ring. Just after she did, she heard Serena's voice just beyond the door. 

"Coming, coming!"

The door soon opened, revealing said woman now dressed in her police uniform as she soon took notice of her at the door.

"Ahh, Ayumi, hello!" Serena greeted warmly, giving the Pink Ranger a hug, surprising her. "It's always so good to see you!"

"H-Hi, Ms. Serena!" she squeaked out. "It's--Nice to see you too!"

"Oh, you're so sweet!" Serena said, releasing Ayumi from the hug. "So, are the others coming or is it just you?"

Ayumi shook her head. "Actually, Reina, Cyrus, and Kiba have plans with some of our classmates; so yeah, it's just me."

"Gotcha. Anyways, you're here to see Sora, right?" Serena noted. "He's actually outside playing with the neighborhood kids at the park."

Ayumi blinked at that. "Oh, really?"

"Mhm. Though, I'm sure you two wanna catch up after the insanity that was the Sports Festival..." she pointed out additionally with a laugh.

"Hehe, I guess you can say that..." 

"Well, I'll be heading out for work now." Serena said as she stepped outside the house. "See ya."

"You too." Ayumi said back as she watched the woman walk towards her car, get inside and drive off.

Once the woman was gone, the Pink Ranger made her way off the residence and to her new destination.


Ayumi soon arrived in the park. It was in the middle of the streets with a couple trees dotted about and grass covering the plains. The park itself is in the middle, surrounded by sand and rocks. It was an average place, nothing special. There's the colourful place for children to play, which had some monkey bars, swings, slides, the whole package. 

The sound of children talking, laughing, and playing filled the air around there. A few parents are sitting on the benches having a conversation with one another. They occasionally look over to make sure their child were safe and sound. 

That was when Ayumi saw Sora pick one kid up and spin around with him. Another jumps on his back. Two more on each leg. Already, laughter is erupting from the kids. All the parents let out a sigh of relief when they saw his gentle nature. The blonde took a step onto the playground as Sora and the kids moved from the playground to the twisty slide, making a train for them to all go down together. He slides down the cramped slide, then stops. Mainly because one of the other kids is crawling through the bottom.

"I'm the slide monster!" He howls.

"Run! We must climb back up! Go!" Sora yelped, pretending to be in a real crisis.

Screams erupt from the slide, echoing into the open world. The kids who aren't in the crazy tube scurry back and watch, still giggling. Everyone in the tube crawled out as fast as they can, smiling and laughing. Sora got to the end and feels a hand grab his foot. He gripped the edge of the tube and looks out to the younger ones.

"It's got me... go on... without me," He overdramatically said before letting go.

The kids start to laugh as he falls into the darkness of the slide. The kid behind Sora starts laughing as the Red Ranger made sure to turn himself around, got the boy in his arms, and slide down with no risk of hurting him. He was heard laughing the entire time, which put a smile on Sora's face too. He soon slid off the edge and onto his feet with the child still in his arms before setting him down, ruffling his hair, and sending him off.

"Very nice, monster. Very nice. Go catch up with everyone."

The boy nodded and rushed back to his friends. It was then that Sora noticed Ayumi nearby as she laughed and shook her head.

"Okay, okay." Sora chuckled. "Come on. Okay, okay. Your parents. Parents are waiting."

The kids all ran towards their parents as Sora walked towards his fellow Ranger.

"Mom! Mommy!" they hear the kids say, causing them to look and see the little ones waving after their parents had put them down.

"Bye, Sora!" a girl said, waving.

"Bye! Bye, Sora." the other kids said.

"See ya, guys!" The Red Ranger waved back, then turned back to Ayumi. "Yo, Ayu!"

"Hey." Ayumi greeted back, happy to see him. "You know, I kinda expected you to be training or hanging out in your house." 

Sora rubbed his head. "To be honest, I was originally going to do some training until I saw these kids playing. And seeing them play kinda reminded me of when I saw you play with those kids in Rose Garden, so I figured I'd play with them so I can understand why you like to do it."

Ayumi laughed as she turned to the kids, walking away with their parents.

"Maybe it's because I adore them." She sighed softly. "That, and I've always wanted a younger sibling of my own..."

Sora looked at her with sympathy before placing a hand on her shoulder with a comforting smile. "Well, after what I've seen, I know that you'd be a great big sister." He tried to be encouraging because he hated seeing her so down. Not to mention he liked it better when she smiled.

It worked and Ayumi perked up as she smiled. "Thanks." As she pushed her hands on her hair, she gave Sora a playful smirk while asking coyly, "So, how did your mom take you winning the Festival?"

The charcoal-haired teen blinked before rubbing his head with a laugh. "About as well you can imagine..."


Flashback

"Oh, baby, I'm so proud of you!" Serena embraced her son tightly, making Sora yelp as the life was squeezed out of him. "You got first place!"

"Th-Thanks mom.." Sora wheezed out at his life was being crushed out of him. "But...choking! Not breathing!"

"Sorry, sorry!" Serena apologized,  letting go of Sora. "It's just that against all odds, you and others fought through a tournament full of Quirks." She praised, before lowering her eyelids. "Though, we gotta talk about your shirtless stunt on national T.V."

"Uhh, right..." Sora said, chuckling in embarrassment.

Flashback Ends


"Yeah, that sounds like her." Ayumi giggled a little when she recalled something. "By the way, did you tell her about the...Endeavor thing?"

On the way home yesterday, Sora had informed his friends about his run-in with the No.2 Hero and his plan to get them kicked out of U.A. Needless to say, their reactions ranged from shock, disbelief, or in Reina's case...unadultered rage.

Sora shook his head. "No. I figured that I'd talk to Nezu after the break about it before telling her. That way, we'd be more prepared for whatever Endeavor might try to do."

"Ah, I get it." Ayumi nodded her head in agreement, before smiling. "Now come on, let's go have some fun!"

Sora grinned back. "Sounds good to me. So what do you wanna do?"

Ayumi blinked as she froze. "Uhh..."

"Huh? I thought you had some sort of plan or idea."

"No... I-I was just excited to be with you. So, I figured..."

Sora chuckled then bumped her shoulder. "No need to inflate my ego, Ayu. I do that enough as it is," He joked, making them both laugh a bit. "But I guess we can go find something to do. We have the entirety of Japan at our fingertips. Two young, strong Heroes-in-Training can surely come up with something to entertain ourselves."

Ayumi giggled once more. "So... want to go to the town square? I haven't been there since..." Her mind trails back to when they fought Igeron, the day they first became Power Rangers.

"Sure, why not? At least we can take in the sights there." Sora agreed as he suddenly took the girl's hand, surprising her.

"W-Wh-What?" Ayumi stammered out, turning red in the face.

"Alright... let's go!"


 As the duo both paraded through the streets, something eludes them both. It's so natural, so obvious, yet neither of them have gotten the hint. Their hands were still intertwined from the time they left. Sora's battle-trained worn hand still cupped Ayumi's soft one, spreading a warmth from her hand to her whole body, filling her with comfort and safety.

As his eyes scanned the buildings and flyers around the city, Sora focused on a small ice-cream shop that has some flashing neon signs. He and Ayumi walk closer to it, allowing him to get a better angle to read whatever is being advertised.

"Buy one, get one free," Sora whisper. "Hey Ayu, wanna go-"

He attempted to point to the shop, but the hand he intended to point with is restricted by something. He looked down and saw it intertwined with Ayumi's smaller one. His face exploded, instantly turning red. Ayumi looked at him, then followed his eyes to see what he was looking at. They both stare at their interlocked hands, neither of them knowing what to do. Swiftly they both retract their hands.

"I-I'm sorry. I should have seen that earlier and-"

"No, no," Ayumi interrupted. "You were holding my hand and I'm the one who was supposed to tell you, I just needed to see it and I didn't; so it's my fault."

"I... uh..." Sora rubbed the back of his head, embarrassed at his actions. "You... wanna go to the ice-cream parlor?"

Ayumi looks over at the building, then to him with a nod. "S-Sure. I'd love to."

They both awkwardly walked towards the street crossing and waited for the signal to cross. Sora couldn't believe he didn't notice that he was holding Ayumi's hand. Though, he didn't notice any abnormalities, nor did it feel wrong. It felt... normal and- dare he say it- right. The way her petite, caring fingers matched with his was something he never felt before. He shook his head, trying to get rid of any thoughts on the matter. It was an accident, nothing more.

However, Ayumi was mentally screaming. She couldn't believe that she actually held hands with him, and the way he pulled back was so cute! Maybe he liked her too? Ayumi was wrestling with herself; trying to decide whether or not to just tell him her feelings right now, but doing so might make things even more awkward for the both of them, and she doesn't want to mess it up.

As they both crossed the street and entered the building, they were instantly hit by a cold wave, which was expected, of course. It's an ice-cream place – what reason would there be for warmth? The two Rangers waited in line, but Sora still took a gander at the various flavours on display. He glanced at Ayumi, whose mouth was nearly watering at all the possibilities. 

"Which are you looking at? A strawberry sundae-type deal?" The Red Ranger laughed at her state.

Ayumi shook her head. "I mean, I love strawberries. But cookies and cream, ohhh," she then moaned, losing herself in the thought of how delicious it would taste on her tongue.

"Cookies and cream? Alright, not a problem. I'll probably just having something simple," Sora added as he returned his gaze to the counter.

"Excuse me, can we get two of today's special cones?" Sora asked the owner.

"Of course! Coming right up!" The owner replied before walking off.

A moment passed before they heard someone standing behind them trying to get his attention. "Hey, excuse me."

"Hm?" Sora and Ayumi turned their heads to see a man looking curiously at them.

"You're Sora Ukashi and Ayumi Suzuni of the Power Rangers!" The man said, giving them a thumbs up.

 "What!?"

"What where!?"

"Sora Ukashi!? As in the winner of the First Year's Sports Festival!?"

Everyone in the parlor started to surround the pair like they were celebrities. Everyone gave them congratulations and praised them for their powers and abilities.

"You got first place in every round. You really dominated the competition!"

"You were so cool! Especially when you changed into all of those red suits!"

"You were really muscular during that fight~"

"You're Ayumi Suzuni, right? I love your hair!"

"O-oh, thank you." Ayumi said with a blush.

 Luckily for the duo, the owner had returned with their treats, and he told the people to give the pair some space. The civilians groaned in disappointment but they told the Rangers one last thing before they left.

"Do your best, Heroes!"

Sora grinned and waved goodbye as he and Ayumi exited the parlor. "Sure thing!"

"We will!" Ayumi echoed behind him.

Soon, they were walking once more down the street with their frozen snacks.

"Well, that was quite surprising huh?" Ayumi spoke up.

"Yeah, no joke. I really thought they were gonna hound us." Sora snorted, taking a lick of his own two scoop cone. "The others probably ran into the same problem."

"Considering how popular the Festival was, I don't doubt it. Though, it appears everyone's still talking about our fight with Igeron."

"Seems so. You know, I don't think you need five scoops." 

"But it's soooooooooooo good. I can't believe you're gonna let me eat more than you," Ayumi commmented, subtly making a jab at him.

Sora shrugged causally. "Well, you know, I take things in moderation." He got a laugh in reponse, which made him smile.

"Right." Ayumi said, as she gazed at the sky. "You've always been like that, Sora. As far as I can remember."

"Huh?" Sora looked at her in confusion. "What do you mean?"

The Pink Ranger had a smile on her face. "Do you remember the day we met?" She asked him. "It was the day I lost my mom and you found out I was Quirkless..." she recalled,."In fact...I actually thought you were kinda cool..."

Sora blinked. He knew what she was talking about.


FLASHBACK

"I-I'm sorry!" 8-year old Ayumi sobbed. She turned to leave and was about to when one of the boys grabbed her wrist, tightly.

Her eyes were closed the whole time, still crying her heart out. So she didn't noticed the group of three boys ahead of her and accidentally ran into them. After bouncing back a bit after the collision, Ayumi saw the group she ran into. The boys looked a year older than herself and they didn't look happy.

"That's not cool," the boy holding her wrist replied, he was the leader of the group.

"Yeah! Bumping into us and you don't even apologize properly," another called out.

"Hey guys, it's that Suzuni girl from class. The one who comes from that mid-rich company!"  the last of the group recognized.

"Maybe she's flaunting around her money to make up for being Quirkless. Rich people are all so stuck-up. Let's teach her some 'humility'."

The leader threw Ayumi on the ground so she was on all fours. She struggled to get up but a hand forced her head into the dirt.

"Now, apologize," the bully leader demanded.

"I'm sorry," Ayumi replied quietly with tears still streaming down her face.

"Louder, blondie!" the second bully called.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Ayumi conformed. She kept saying it, a bit louder every time and trying to make these bullies happy.

"Aww, look! Now's she crying!" The third bully mocked. "Why don't you go cry home to your mommy?"

This merely made Ayumi even more upset, when suddenly...

"Hey!" A fourth voice yelled as footsteps were heard approaching.

"Huh?" The bullies all turned to see who yelled...

BAM!

Before anyone could have ever guessed or reacted, a figure lunged at the bully leader with incredible speed, before delivering a hard kick to the face that it knocked the boy off his feet and sent him flying back. He landed on his back with a thud.

The goons were shocked by what happened, even Ayumi

The goons were shocked by what happened, even Ayumi. They then turned their attention to see a small boy at a similar age as Ayumi. He had ruby red eyes with charcoal-colored hair with red highlights.

"Why don't you pick on someone who can fight back, you jerks?" The boy shouted, looking at the two goons with a glare that made them feel like they were staring at the devil himself

"Why don't you pick on someone who can fight back, you jerks?" The boy shouted, looking at the two goons with a glare that made them feel like they were staring at the devil himself. Afraid of what he would do to them, they both ran away, not even hesitating to leave their leader alone.

With the kids gone, the boy walked back to the crying Ayumi and extended a hand to him. His glare was gone entirely and it was replaced with a friendly and concerned smile.

"Hi! I'm Sora!" He said. "Are you okay?"

"So cool..." Ayumi had a surprised look at him. No one ever stepped in to help her whenever the other kids were bullying her. She sniffed and timidly grabbed his hand. "I-I mean, yeah, I'm fine now. Thank you."

"Alright, then I think we should get you to the nurse," Sora said with a grin, pulling the girl to her feet and seeing the scrape on her knee. "Can't have you going to class like that, right?"

He then walked towards the school, leading Ayumi by the hand as the girl stared at the boy in awe.

Flashback Ends


"I'll never forget how you came to my rescue that day. Even after that, you treated me like a normal individual, and you were even ready to do it again against those kids at the drop of a hat. Including throwing yourself into harm's way." Ayumi recalled softly.

As he listened to her words, Sora rubbed his head sheepishly. "Well, I..."

"I know." Ayumi spoke as she turned her gaze back to him. "That's just who you are. Which reminds me, there's something I want to make clear to you, Sora."

"Me? What is it?" the Red Ranger asked, wondering what it was the girl needed to say.

Ayumi soon had a shy look in her eyes as she turned red again; she then shyly said. "I want you to know... Despite what others might say... Despite the stories the media might try to make up... I want you to know... You're a Hero to me... My Hero."

"...!" That statement made Sora's eyes widen into an impossible length, as his cheeks boiled hot from the redness that rapidly filled them.

After what felt like minutes of complete silence, Sora began to speak... only to notice Ayumi giggling, confusing the Red Ranger. 

 "What's so funny?" Sora asked with a raised eyebrow. 

 "I-I'm sorry. It's just..." Ayumi continued giggling, trying her best to reply to Sora's question as she then pointed to his hand that was carrying his frozen treat. 

"Look at your hand!"Sora turned to where Ayumi was pointing at... only to groan as he now noticed his ice cream melting.

"Ah, crap!" He said, dropping his frozen treat in the process. "NOOOO!" 

Ayumi worriedly looks at her delectable dessert before she begins to lick it frantically


Hours passed by as the two of them continued on, chatting about nonsense. They even ended up walking to places they've never visited before.

"This was a fun day," Ayumi said, looking to Sora.

 "Yeah, it really was. Hey, Ayumi? About what you said before, about me being your Hero... I just wanna say... Thanks. I really mean it." Sora thanked the Pink Ranger.

"Well, you're welcome." Ayumi chuckled, becoming flustered.

She became so flustered that she leaned backward too far, tripping over herself and falling backwards. Sora quickly slipped his hand around her waist, laughing at her clumsiness.

"Careful, Ayu. You really have to work on your footing," He jokingly remarked, pulling her closer to him.

However, Ayumi was now directly in front of him, their bodies mere inches away, and her eyes are looking up at him, filled with embarrassment.

Sora looked down at her as he stared into her amethyst eyes. He was always so dazzled by her eyes... and her smile... even her shimmering lips, sparkling from the ice-cream she ate so long ago. He felt her body shiver, and because he was in close proximity, he felt the heart in her chest pounding; he knew it hadn't been an attack. He felt his own heart going the same rate.

At the same time, Ayumi's heart is pounding like mad. Sora was looking at her in such a way that her stomach filled with butterflies. Her face heated up as her heart started to beat at an unattractive pace as she felt his chisled arm holding her and couldn't help but shiver a little.

'Is he... is he going to kiss me? Am I ready for this? Do I want this? YES! No! The dance, but... I want to... BUT NOW!'  She said in her head, as she felt her heart beat like a jackhammer.

Ayumi didn't know what else to do. She closed her eyes, puckered her lips, and stood on her tippy toes. Sora's eyes widened as he watched Ayumi do this. But something in his mind was telling him to... kiss her. His mind, his heart, every fiber of his being is screaming "KISS HER!"

Though he had to admit... It was risky. But he wanted to go through with it anyway because it was for her.

He leaned into the young woman, ready to ki-

-Only for neither of them to notice someone running into them from an alleyway.

BAM!

"H-Huh?" Sora and Ayumi snapped out of their flushed trance, feeling something hitting them, as they looked down to see the person responsible for this.

It was a little girl, who fell over onto her bottom.

She was a small girl who looked around 5-7 years old with bluish, off-white hair, messy and unkempt, which was parted in the middle of her forehead, almost reaching down to her waist. She had very wide, innocent-looking eyes, which are bright red in color. Poking out from the right side of her forehead is a small, brown horn. And she is wearing a plain, short-sleeved dress, which is a dirty, pale tan color. Bandages are wrapped around both her arms and legs, stopping at her wrists and ankles. She also wasn't wearing any shoes.

 She also wasn't wearing any shoes

Her name was Eri.

"Ah, oh my gosh!" Ayumi exclaimed upon noticing. "Are you okay?!" she asked, immediately crouching down to the girl's eye level. She sat up with a grimace, seeing the two freshmen approach.

Sora looked at the girl's poor attire and what struck out the most was the terrified look on her face. "Well, that's not a good sign." He thought in concern.

"Hey kid, you alright?" He asked, stepping up to the horned girl to help her up, only for the girl to flinch, looking visibly scared as she backed away from him. Seeing that, Ayumi went ahead and spoke softly.

"Don't worry, we won't hurt you," she assured, reaching out to her. Hesitant for a moment, the little girl took her hand, allowing her to pick her up onto her feet. "There we go," she said with a giggle. Sora smiled as well, though he noticed something off. The girl was trembling, and she had bandages around her arms and legs.

'She doesn't seem like she's lost...' he noted to himself, 'It's more like... she was running from something...' he added inwardly. What happened to this girl to make her so scared?

"You should be more careful..." A male voice said, causing the little girl to flinch at the sound coming from the alleyway she had come out from.

Out of the darkness was a man.

He is a pale man of narrow build with short, shaggy auburn hair, parted to the right. His eyes are thin, their irises small and gold, with rather long lower eyelashes and small eyebrows. He wore a black dress shirt with matching dress pants, a pale gray tie around his neck and a belt with a long, thin buckle around his waist, with three beaded lobe piercings in his left ear. Over this, he wears a dark olive-green bomber jacket, its collar lined with thick purple fur and white lace-up sneakers, their soles tan-colored, with no socks on his feet. His most noticeable features are the white surgical gloves he wears on his hands and the magenta plague mask he wears over his mouth, which is tipped and embroidered with gold.

His name was Kai Chisaki, also known as the Villain: Overhaul.

"We don't want to cause trouble for anyone now, do we?" The bird-masked man said in a calm but irritated tone.

To Be Continued...

Well, there you have it, folks! Ayumi's origin and a bit of fluff between her and Sora. We also got an early debut of Eri and Overhaul than in canon. (Reason being, things in canon will be changed due to the Rangers and this is one of many.) Their confrontation will continue in the next chapter and after that...I'll be doing the origins of Kiba, Cyrus, and Reina before we get into the Interships.

Thank you very much for reading. "Power Rangers: Heroes Force" will return. Please be sure to favorite and follow if you like the story, and also review it. If you have any questions or discussions you'd have for me, then please in a review or a PM my profile.

Thank you for reading, may God bless you, and have a wonderful day.

 

Chapter 77: Chapter 19.5 Pt.2 - Eri

Notes:

Here we are! Another chapter ready for you guys! Enjoy!

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

The whole world stopped around Sora and Ayumi as they stared up at Chisaki. The man was giving off a dangerous vibe. Sora looked around to see that they were the only four people in the area, so there was no hope of calling for a hero's help.

He and Ayumi were completely on their own.

"Eri, what have I told you about running off on your own?" Chisaki asked with a slightly angry voice, as he was walking up close to the girl and the two Rangers.

Sora could immediately tell that the man was the type of person that could never be trusted. And then he looked at the girl, who was even more scared than before. He could see now why she was so afraid of him earlier: this man in front of them was responsible for her fear.

Even Ayumi could tell that this guy was bad news. "Ayu, be careful. I can tell this guy is on a completely different level than the ones from the USJ." She heard Sora's voice in her mind.

"Right..." Ayumi mentally replied in response and looked directly at Chisaki.

"O-Oh, that's okay!" She assured, standing back up quickly. "We should be a lot more vigilant to watch out for everyone," she pointed out.

"Is she your kid?" Sora asked cautiously, not trying to be suspicious.

"Yeah, she's my daughter," Chisaki said to him.

Alarm bells started to go off crazy in Sora's head as he knew that was a lie, thanks to the super sharp senses he inherited from Cole Evans, the Red Wild Force Ranger.

Cole's empathetic connection with nature allows him to communicate with not only animals, but humans as well.

Sora can sense Chisaki's heart and feels nothing but malice in it.

"Now come on Eri, we're leaving," Chisaki said as Eri tensed up in fear and grabbed onto Ayumi's leg like a koala bear. The Pink Ranger could practically feel her trembling form rubbing against her skin.

"P-Please doesn't go," Eri said, sobbing quietly in fear.

Ayumi's breath hitched at this. As if her body had a mind of its own, she knelt down and gently pulled Eri into a gentle embrace, who immediately sunk into her warmth and buried her face into the Pink Ranger's chest, sobbing into her jacket unceasingly. Just witnessing the little girl's tears was enough to tear her heart apart.

Sora noticed this and said something. "Your daughter seems scared."

"Oh, she's just afraid that I'll punish her for running away like that," Chisaki replied.

Eri's grip on Ayumi's jacket was harder, and her whole body began to tremble. The blonde comforted the girl as much as she could by rubbing her back gently.

"What's... with all those bandages?" she inquired.

"She tends to fall down and bump into things a lot," the Shie Hassaikai leader pointed out.

Sora's eyes slightly narrowed, as he balled his fist in anger. But kept his cool to not make matters worse.

"Does this happen often? Her running away?" He asked, trying to get something out of the man.

"On occasion. Kids can be troublesome sometimes." Chisaki said, walking up closer to them. "I'll just be taking her, and we'll be on our way. You should head home now, kids. It's getting pretty late." He said, wanting to end the conversation.

But Sora and Ayumi weren't going to allow it to end here. "You know she looks kinda scared right now. Maybe we could help you out?" He suggested.

The man's eyes narrowed in irritation. "That won't be necessary. As I said before, you kids should go home now." Chisaki said in an irritated tone.

Like hell they were.

"You know what, I'm gonna have to stop you right there," Sora said, dropping his act

"Eh?" Chisaki said in confusion, stopping himself from going any further to them.

"That whole thing about you being her father, I can tell that was a load of bullcrap. Do you think I was born yesterday? The way that you're dressed and acting, I can immediately tell you're the type of person that can never be trusted." Sora said in a serious tone as he prepared his Hero Morpher just in case things went south.

Chisaki immediately narrowed his eyes at the Ranger due to the change of his tone.

"He's right." Ayumi spoke as she stood up and slightly pulled Eri behind her, as her face twisted into an mixture of anger and a intense glare. "And seeing how this poor girl is bandaged up and shaking like a leaf... what are you planning on doing to her?" She asked in a demanding tone.

"Listen, kids, you're getting involved with something that doesn't concern you. Now make the smart choice and walk away." Chisaki said in a dangerous tone.

"Yeah, we're going to have to say no to that." Sora replied. "You see, we kinda have this thing about crime. If we see something that we don't like, then we do something about it. And considering the fact that this girl over here is terrified, and you look far from a trustworthy guy, we're going to help her out." 

"Sora's right. And if you think that we're just gonna hand her over to someone like you and walk away, then you obviously have no idea who you're dealing with." Ayumi declared firmly.

Eri looked up at the two Rangers again, Her face had a look of surprise and disbelief on it.

"Really now? How do you kids plan to do that?" Chisaki asked them coldly.

Sora just cracks a smile, as he threw a gaze at Ayumi, who quickly caught on and nodded.

"Like this!" She called out, harnessing the powers of Delphine, the White Alien Ranger, and making a few hand signs like a ninja.

"Hidden Style: Cloning Jutsu!" She shouted with her body splitting to create an ideal copy of herself, which surprised Eri and the masked man.

"A cloning Quirk?" Chisaki muttered as the clone stood protectively in front of Eri.

"And that's not all." Sora chimed in, holding up his Morpher. "Ready, Ayu?"

"Yeah!" The blonde nodded as she copied his actions.

"IT'S MORPHIN TIME!" The pair shouted before they spun the dial, right before a gumball-sized hologram of the Megaforce logo, that consisted of a golden angelic symbol, floated on the dial's face.

"Legendary Ranger Mode, Megaforce!" They called out before they slammed their dials down. Soon, a key appeared in each of their hands as it was revealed to be the Megaforce Ranger Keys.

The team then held up their Ranger Keys before flicking them open. "Go, Go, Megaforce!" They called out before inserting the keys into their Morphers' slots and turned the keys, becoming engulfed in bursts of red and pink light respectively.


(Morph sequence - Megaforce)

The current background changes to a daytime sky with Sora raising both his arms up by the sides, as his Ranger suit forms from his neck to feet. Then he jumped back to do a back flip, while a red dragon silhouette flew behind him. As Sora landed on the ground, the dragon appeared to bite down on his head to form his helmet, with Sora facing forward and multiple Gosei Red Power Cards lined up behind him as his helmet was slightly shining from the right side. "Megaforce Red!"

The current background changes to a daytime sky with Ayumi raising both her arms up by the sides, as her Ranger suit forms from her neck to feet. Then she jumped back to do a back flip, while a pink phoenix silhouette flew behind her. As Ayumi landed on the ground, the phoenix appeared to bite down on her head to form her helmet, with Ayumi facing forward and multiple Gosei Pink Power Cards lined up behind her as her helmet was slightly shining from the right side. "Megaforce Pink!"

(Morph sequence Ends)


This took both Chisaki and Eri by surprise as the light died down to reveal Sora and Ayumi in their Ranger outfits with their arms crossed.

Sora wore a red shirt with long sleeves that cut off right above his waist. The shirt had a yellow outline and an angelic symbol with a silver belt and gold buckle as the Gosei Morpher and Mega Blaster were attached on each side of the belt.. The helmet of the Red Ranger had a narrowed, black visor with a grey mouth mold. On the edges of the visor were two dragons printed in black. Right above the visor was an emblem that had a similar design to the chest insignia. He also wore white pants with red lines running down the sides and red boots with black cuffs.

Ayumi wore a pink shirt with long sleeves that cut off right above her waist. The shirt had a yellow outline and an angelic symbol with a silver belt and gold buckle as the Gosei Morpher and Mega Blaster were attached on each side of the belt.. The helmet of the Pink Ranger had a wide, black visor with a grey mouth mold. On the edges of the visor were two birds printed in black. Right above the visor was an emblem that had a similar design to the chest insignia. She wore a white skirt with pink edges, over a pair of white tights and pink boots with black cuffs.

Eri looked at the pair and clone in shock and backed away from them.

Chisaki's eyes widened in surprise, not expecting that from the two kids. But soon got over it, as he saw the threat in front of him.

"This is your last chance to stand down." Ayumi warned him.

"Is that supposed to scare me? I'm not going to back down from some kids in spandex." Chisaki said as he was taking off his gloves, which caused Eri to tease up in fear because she knew what was coming next.

"He took off his gloves." Sora observed on Chisaki's movements. "If I had to guess, his quirk must be related to his hands. Better stay on guard."

"Got it."

"I'm only going to say this one last time, kids. Leave here now and forget what you saw," Chisaki said in a threatening tone as he prepared to kill Sora and Ayumi if he had to. "Or forfeit your lives."

Sora and Ayumi, in response, just got into fighting stances.

"How about no." Sora said in a deep determined voice as he was not backing down from this.

Eri was now terrified of what was to come next. Someone else was going die again, all because she ran away.

Chisaki just sighed in disappointment at the boy's answer. "Such a pity, you would have lived a lot longer if you had just walked away, instead of playing hero," Chisaki said while placing his hand on the ground.

He then twists his hand on the ground, causing the walls and floor to erupt as a trail of spikes headed towards the Rangers to impale them. The spikes seemingly hit Sora and Ayumi from all sides, smashing into one another as it looked like the duo didn't make it out of the way in time.

Eri watched in horror as tears ran down her face. The people that were trying to help her died, all because they got involved with her. It's just like what Chisaki said to her, that she was a cursed child that brought nothing but pain, death, and suffering to others.

"Eri..." Chisaki said as the girl freezes up in terror. "You've been a very bad girl. More people had to die, all because you ran away." He said in a disappointed tone as he looked directly at her. "Next time you try to run again, I'll remove your legs from your body."

This caused the horned girl to shake in fear of the threat because she knew he would do it. Chisaki walked over to Eri, so he could take her back to base before someone else showed up.

"Don't worry," Ayumi's clone assured, getting their attention, "They won't go down from something as small as that." 

Chisaki narrowed his eyes at this. "What are you-"

"Summon Battle Gear." An unfamiliar voice said making both Eri and Chisaki's eyes widen in surprise.

"Phoenix Shot!" Ayumi shouted as she burst out of the spikes and flew straight towards Chisaki, spinning around rapidly as she homed in on the masked man.

Chisaki threw up his arms to block the Ranger's kick, pushing the girl back slightly before quickly reaching out to grab her, but Ayumi used her sky powers to fly backward away in the air from Chisaki's reach. The Megaforce Pink Ranger landed on the ground a good distance away from the man as she aimed her weapon.

"Fire!" Ayumi said shooting pink laser blasts at Chisaki.

"What!?" The man said, touching the ground again as another trail of spikes erupted in front of him to protect him.

However, he didn't expect the blasts to be powerful as they slammed into the spikes, obliterating them with the explosion pushing Chisaki back and making him hit the ground in pain.

Chisaki got back on his feet and watched as Ayumi readied herself for another attack. "How...How are you still alive!?" He snarled.

"Dragon Sword!"

Then suddenly, a red twister came spinning from out of the air behind Chisaki. He quickly turned around in surprise, as it conjured into Sora as he suddenly appeared right in front of him. Chisaki reached out his hands to touch the boy so that he could kill him, but he wasn't quick enough due to Sora's speed, as the Red Ranger used his sword to dislocate both of Chisaki's hands.

"AAAAAAH!" Chisaki yelled out in pain.

"It'll take a lot more than some spikes to get rid of us that easily." Sora told him as he then roundhouse kicked him hard in the ribs, sending him straight into the wall. 

"Too easy." Sora simply scoffed as Ayumi stood next to him.

"You won't get away with this!" Chisaki angrily shouted as he tried to use his quirk to free himself, but couldn't because of his paralyzed hands. "The Hassaikai clan will soon rule the underworld! Once I'm free, I'll make you wish you never crossed me!" Chisaki threatened the Rangers.

"Be quiet!" Ayumi yelled to the villain, as she pointed her weapon in Chisaki's face. "I don't care  if you were king of the entire world. If you think we're going to sit back and watch you torment an innocent little girl, then you've got another thing coming!" She said, not caring about the villain's threat one bit.

"You kids made a big mistake. You should quit while you're ahead. You have no idea what you're walking into." Chisaki said to the duo, trying to make them see reason. "If you don't stop now, the entire Shie Hassaikai clan will come after your heads until you die."

Sora just narrowed his eyes to the threat attempt on his and Ayumi's lives.

"I'm looking forward to it," Sora said, making Eri and Chisaki's eyes widen in surprise as he was not the least bit scared at all by the threat. "Power Rangers never abandon anyone in trouble. But as of right now, this conversation is over."

The two Rangers then put away their weapons, before holding up their Gosei Morphers with their left hands and opening it up, then moving a hatch on their belt buckles and pulling out one of the Power Cards inside.

'What is that?' Chisaki thought, though he quickly got his answer.

Sora and Ayumi placed the Twistornado Cards into the Morphers' mouths before moving them in front of themselves and closing the Gosei Morphers as they lit up.

"Twistornado!" They exclaimed as gusts of red and pink wind respectively came out of the Morphers as it was surrounding Chisaki.

"A whirlwind?!" He cried out as he couldn't do a thing with his hands still being broken. "The wind is too strong for me to break free." He then noticed that the whirlwind was pulling him out of the wall, lifting him off the ground, and into the air. "Oh no!"

 "Have a nice flight!" Ayumi called out before the whirlwind took him high in the air sent him flying back into the dark alley before crashing into a wall, knocking him unconscious and sending his mask flying off of his face.

Seeing that the man was out cold, Ayumi's clone soon vanished into a puff of smoke, startling Eri.

 "That takes care of him," Sora said, holding up a fist pump to Ayumi. "Great job, partner."

Ayumi smiled at this before hitting her fist to his. "You too."

"Alright then

"Alright then..." The former said, turning his head to the horned girl who was staring at him and Ayumi in shock. "You alright?"

This caused Eri to stumble on the ground and back away from the duo, clearly afraid.

"Wait, wait. It's okay, sweetie." Ayumi put both arms up, showing the girl they meant her no harm. "These are just suits, see?" Ayumi said before de-morphing back into her regular clothes as she knelt down by the girl. "We're not going to hurt you."

"She's right." Sora agreed, demorphing as well. "We're nice. Honest."

Hearing their words made Eri calm down a bit. She can clearly see that Sora and Ayumi were different from Chisaki.

Sora walked up to Eri and squatted down next to Ayumi.

"Your name is Eri, right?" Ayumi asked the girl, who nodded in response. "Okay, Eri. My name is Ayumi, and this is Sora." she introduced with a warm smile.

"Ayumi? Sora?" Eri repeated their names.

"Right, you got it," The Red Ranger nodded.

"A-Are you heroes?" Eri asked them.

"No, not yet anyway. We're still in training." Sora said to her. "Now, do you know what he wanted you for? And what it was about?"

Eri didn't answer right away. She was trembling in fear, afraid of answering. "They said I was supposed to be used for something. That I should be with them. Overhaul said my quirk was a curse and that I would only bring pain and suffering to others." Eri said, doing her best to explain to the pair.

This made Sora and Ayumi's eyes widen from what they heard.

The former's eyes narrowed in suspicion from hearing this. "That guy actually said something like that to a child." He thought in anger.

"What exactly did they do to you?" Ayumi asked her, not going to like the answer.

"Overhaul says, I'm cursed because of my quirk, but that my curse can be used to cure heroes..." Eri explained.

'Cure heroes?' Sora and Ayumi both thought as they were listening to Eri.

"...So he cut me up, he put things in me, and took things out. He tore me apart and put me back together. Over and over again" Eri said shivering in fear, remembering the things he'd done to her.

The two Rangers' eyes widened in complete shock at what Eri explained, as Ayumi covered her mouth with a hand.

"What the hell kind of sick monster does something like that to a little kid?!"  Sora thought, completely angry as he clenched his teeth. Kai Chisaki was absolutely an inhuman monster in the HF leader's eyes now. 'There has to be more to this story." He thought before coming up with an idea. "That's it!"

"I-I should go. They'll be mad. If they're mad-" Eri said, scared of what they might do.

"No way, let them be mad," Ayumi said, interrupting her. "We're not letting you go back there."

Eri looked at the blonde and said, "But if I don't go back, they'll-" but got interrupted again by Ayumi.

"No buts," Ayumi said firmly and looked at Eri in the eyes. "Eri, tell me the truth. Do you really want to go back there?" She asked the girl in a serious tone.

Eri was quiet and took a deep breath to shout. "No! No, I hate him! I hate living in the place they had me in! I don't ever want to go back there!" The horned girl shouted at the top of her lungs.

Sora just smiled at the girl's words. "That's good to hear because we're going to help you." the Red Ranger said, patting the girl on the head. "They're not going to hurt you ever again. Or else they'll end up like that jerk over there." He said, pointing at an unconscious Chisaki.

Soon, Eri started to cry. She wrapped her arms around Ayumi's chest and began to let out tears. Ayumi, in return, hugged the tormented girl back, as she was crying in her arms.

"Ayu." Sora spoke quietly for only Ayumi to hear.

"Yeah?" Ayumi whispered back.

"I think  weneed you to read the memories of that guy's along with Eri's memories too," Sora said to her.

"Read their memories?" Ayumi asked back in confusion.

"Yeah, if we take a look at their memories, we might be able to see the whole story of this situation," Sora said.

Ayumi thought that was a good idea as well. They may be able to learn more about what Eri was talking about from her and Chisaki's memories. "Okay, let's do it." She replied.

With a nod, both Rangers placed their hands on Eri's head and used their Telepathy to read her memories.

This power belonged to Zayto and Ameila, the Red and Pink Dino Fury Rangers; Which let them read the minds and memories of others by making physical contact with them. 

In a flash, all of Eri's memories were shown to them, but what they saw made their hearts drop like stones...


 Eri was a six-year-old girl whose power awakened last year which led to her tragic situation.

She lived a pretty normal life and was happy with her parents. That is until she manifested her Quirk and she accidentally erased her father from her existence. Eri's mother disowned her after the incident and left her in the care of her grandfather, the boss of the Shie Hassaikai, wanting nothing to do with a daughter anymore, as she sees her as a cursed child.

Her grandfather took care of her and asked his subordinate, Chisaki, to identify what her quirk was. Kai discovered Eri's power as he started to do inhuman experiments on Eri by destroying her with his quirk, collecting blood, and then repairing her. He did this hundreds upon thousands of times, despite Eri's pain.

Eri tried to escape and resist multiple times, but to no avail and eventually accepted her fate as a prisoner.


Sora and Ayumi then looked at Eri in a pure mix of shock and horror.

One girl.

One little girl went through that unbelievable hell. It's a miracle that she is still sane after all the hell Chisaki put her through.

Ayumi then pulled Eri closer to her chest as she didn't want to let her go. "Unforgivable! What he did to this poor girl is unforgivable!" 

"What the hell...?" Sora uttered, unable to contain his rage and newfound hatred for Chisaki. Just then Sora's hair slowly started to raise on end as his pupils dilated. A faint red glow came over his body when-

He took the moment to calm himself as the glow died down. After that, Sora looked down at Eri to say something to the girl.

"Eri, do you have any family or relatives you trust?" He asked, already knowing the answer.

Eri pulled her head out of Ayumi's chest and just looked down, her red eyes filled with sorrow. That answered Sora's question.

"Okay then, let's go find someone for help. The police station isn't too far from here. We can ask Mom for help." Sora informed.

Ayumi perked up. "Oh, right. We can tell your mom about this."

"Are you sure?" Eri asked in concern.

"Yeah, I do. I have some really good friends that can help us both." The HF leader said, placing his hand on the girl's head. "I know you're scared, but we'll be there with you. So just trust us." 

Eri seemed uncertain at first, but decided to trust her saviors and nodded. "Okay."

"Alright, let's go. But first..." Sora turned to Chisaki's unconscious body. "I have to do something first." He said, walking over to the downed man.

"What is he doing?" Eri asked.

"Don't worry. It will only take a second." Ayumi replied, standing up while carrying the horned girl in her arms.

When he was in front of him, Sora placed his left hand on Chisaki's forehead to read the bastard's memories.

"Okay, you sick bastard. I want to know why you go so far as to torture a little girl." He muttered to himself, activating his Telepathy.


His name was Kai Chisaki, Villain name: Overhaul. His quirk was called Overhaul; Which lets him disassemble anything he touches, as well as reassemble it in any configuration he desires, effectively giving him full control over the matter.

Chisaki was a homeless child who was found and raised by the boss of Shie Hassaikai. He views him as a father figure and believes he owes the old man a great debt for taking him in. Throughout his life, the boss recognized that Kai was troubled and he would try to hone him into an honorable Yakuza.

As Chisaki grew older, he started a venture dealing with quirk-related drugs. The Boss told him many times to stay away from villainy and drugs. Chisaki was simply trying to repay the kindness after the boss saved him, and tends to go overboard with his reinstatement of the Yakuza.

Then soon after, the Shie Hassaikai's leader took charge of his granddaughter, Eri. The boss revealed to Chisaki that Eri has a strange quirk that does not resemble anything from her family lineage and believes it is a genetic mutation. The boss does not know much about how Eri's unique quirk works but due to it resembling Chisaki's quirk is the reason why he has asked him to take care of Eri and investigate her power.

During his investigation, Chisaki started thinking that Eri's quirk is on a completely different level from his restoring or repairing and hypothesized that Eri's unique quirk can rewind genetics. Once learning about Eri's power, Chisaki finds it to be terrifying. Through countless experiments, he discovered that her blood had properties that suppress the body's ability to manifest the 'Quirk Factor', inhibiting someone from using their powers.

With this information, Chisaki made a plan to the Shie Hassaikai's boss. Chisaki planned on selling the quirk-destroying bullets to villains who would use them on Pro heroes and after a while, the Yakuza would distribute a serum that would undo the damage done and restore the lost quirks to the heroes. These products would be at a high price. Therefore, with the villains having the quirk-destroying bullets, the heroes having the serum, and Eri in the middle, the Shie Hassaikai can monopolistically control the market, earning massive profits and eventually emerging from the darkness.

However, the boss had already refuted Chisaki's plan and questioned his morality regarding humans. The boss advised him to leave if he was going to disobey their way of thinking. But Chisaki did not plan on going anywhere as all he wanted to do was repay the boss for taking him in and despite the boss's refusal, he chose to put him in a coma and told him to watch from the sidelines as he went through with his plan, intending to wake his boss up once he finished his plan.

Chisaki blamed quirks for bringing forth heroes that pushed the boss into a corner and with his plan, he could restore the Yakuza back to its former glory.

After putting Shie Hassaikai's boss in his coma, Chisaki completely took over the organization and then began to experiment on Eri to turn her quirk into a weapon. He soon manufactured them into bullets that could be shot at a target to inject them with her blood. However, the effect of these bullets was temporary, and Chisaki used further tests to be able to perfect his experiment until he had refined the process enough to create bullets that he believed could permanently destroy quirks.


When Sora was done looking into Chisaki's memories, he took his hand off his head and was beyond disgusted by Chisaki's way of thinking.

"So that's why he's doing all of this. To repay the debt he owes Eri's grandfather." He muttered to himself in disgust and anger.

It didn't matter how indebted Chisaki was to Eri's grandfather, that was no excuse for all the sick crap he put Eri through. Just thinking about that pissed Sora off.

Ayumi saw the look on her crush's face and could tell what Sora saw in the man's memories wasn't pretty. She was going to ask Sora about what he saw later once they got Eri to safety.

'Eri's quirk is called Rewind; Which allows her to reverse a living thing back to a previous state. She has even rewound someone's body out of existence.' Sora thought it was an impressive but also dangerous power to have.

According to Chisaki's memories, Eri's Quirk power source is located in the horn on her forehead, and the size of the horn dictates the strength of her power. It is also an accumulation-type Quirk, which means the power it emits has to build up over a period of time before becoming usable.

"Sora?" Eri spoke up, breaking the Red Ranger out of his thoughts. 

'First things first is to get Eri to the police station.' He thought before turning back to the girls. "Yeah, I'm good. I was just thinking about what my mom will say when we tell her about... all of this."

"Maybe we should call her." Ayumi suggested.

"Good idea." Sora went into his pocket and pulled out his phone. A serious look appeared on his face as he dialed a number. "Please pick up..." 

After a few rings, the phone was answered. {"Sora?"} Serena said. {"What is it?"}

"Mom, I have a serious problem right now and I need your help." Sora replied in a deadly serious tone.

After hearing the seriousness in the Ranger's voice, Serena paid more attention to the conversation. {"What happened?"} She asked. {"Are you okay?"}

"I'm fine. I can't explain it to you right now over the phone, but Ayumi and I are about to arrive at the police station. We just rescued a kidnapped child from a villain." Sora explained.

{"I'll be there in the next few minutes. I'm currently patrolling a few blocks."} Serena said as she spun her car around. {"I'll be sure to call Detective Tsukauchi and tell him that you're arriving at the station with a kidnapped child."} The female officer said as the line ended.

Sora sighed as he put his phone away and looked at Ayumi. "Come on, let's get to the police station."

"Right." Ayumi nodded, turning her attention to Eri. "Okay, Eri. I'm gonna need you to hang on tightly, okay?"

Eri just nodded to the girl and clung onto her just as Sora and Ayumi pressed their Morphers, causing them and Eri to teleport away, leaving the scene without a trace.


Musutafu Police Station- Evening

"Good to see you again, Sora, though I wish it was under better circumstances." Detective Tsukauchi said with his famous smile. "I heard that you won the Sports Festival yesterday. Excellent job!" He gave him a thumbs up.

"Thanks." Sora said with a nod while he, Ayumi, and Eri all sat in the waiting room with the detective.

When the trio made it to the police station, the two Rangers both explained everything that happened in their encounter with Eri and Chisaki. Eri kept holding onto Ayumi's hand tightly while holding onto Sora's shirt. 

"You as well, Suzuni. I have to be honest, I wasn't expecting to see you both again. Least of all like this." Tsukauchi chuckled.

"Yeah, me neither," Ayumi said in agreement.

"Anyway, do you have any idea when my mom will get here? We do need to go over things with her." Sora asked.

"She just called me not too long ago, so she should be here soon," Tsukauchi told him.

"I'm here!" Serena said, bursting into the room. But looked to see Detective Tsukauchi, alongside Eri holding onto Ayumi and her son. Though her sudden appearance made Eri jump in fear. The woman noticed this and had a concerned look on her face as she looked at the little girl. "Sora, Ayumi, what's going on?" she asked in a softer tone.

"To answer your question, Serena, she is the reason you are here," Tsukauchi said. "According to your son and Suzuni, they were walking through the city when Eri here ran into them. While they helped her up, a man walked up to them, demanding Eri back. According to these two, they entered a confrontation with the man, where the villain was captured and defeated. Our officers just picked him up." Tsukauchi explained the situation to Serena.

"What about Eri here?" Serena asked about her.

"When your son brought her in, our medical staff took a look at her. Apparently, she had extensive damage done to her arms and legs. Hence the bandages." Tsukauchi said making Eri sniffle.

"Damage?" Serena asked as she was looking at Eri. "What happened?"

"Much of her skin has been cut. They even mentioned bruises too large to be accidents." Tsukauchi said.

"And that man, the one you two confronted, he was responsible?" Serena asked.

"He sure was." Sora growled, getting the attention of the two adults. "Eri told us herself the things he did to her." He said with venom in his voice.

Serena looked at his son with a surprised look. She hasn't seen her son this angry before. Whatever that villain did to this girl made him angry.

Detective Tsukauchi had the same look on his face as well. He had heard the testament from both teens and was also disgusted by the villain's actions.

Ayumi's face was shadowed by anger as well as she clenched her free fist.

"Detective Tsukauchi, Mom. I need to speak to you all for a moment..." Sora said to them before looking at Eri in concern. "In private."

They looked at each other for a moment, before Serena spoke. "Sure. Let's take this outside." She said, opening the door as she and Tsukauchi walked out of the room.

Sora looked back at Ayumi. "You don't mind, right?" He asked.

"Not at all. Just tell me everything when this is over." Ayumi replied back.

Nodding, Sora stood up from his chair and walked out of the room as well until Eri clinched onto him tightly. "P-Please... Just stay." She asked in a much softer voice.

The Red Ranger glanced at the girl before he nodded and rubbed her head. "Sorry, Eri. I need talk to them about something important. I promise I'll be back as soon as I'm done talking." Sora said to the horned girl with a smile. "Ayu's gonna be here with you."

Eri looked hesitant for a few seconds before she nodded and let go of Sora before he walked away.

 Ayumi then pulled out her phone and played a movie for her to watch. "Here, we can watch Frozen together," She said, showing Eri her phone. "It's one of my favorite movies."

Eri looked at the phone and watched the movie with interest, as Sora couldn't help but smile at the scene.


He then walked out of the room and closed the door behind him, then turned to the two adults with a serious expression on his face.

"Sorry to call you both out here, but I didn't want Eri to hear what I was about to say." Sora said to them.

"Don't worry about. You took young Eri's feelings into consideration for such a sensitive topic." Tsukauchi said to him.

"He's right, you made the right choice," Serena said in agreement. "So what actually happened?" 

"It's exactly what Detective Tsukauchi said, Ayu and I ran into Eri in the alleyway when Chisaki was coming after her. So we morphed to beat him and rescue Eri." Sora explained.

"And did he hurt either of you?" Serena asked in concern.

Sora shook his head. "No. But if ww hadn't, Eri would've been taken away by him. A-And she already suffered enough in the hands of that bastard." Sora said in anger as he squeezed his hands, nearly causing them to bleed.

The two adults looked at the and could see the angry look on his face. They just wondered what the villain had done to make Sora so upset.

"Anyway, after beating Chisaki, Ayu and I used our Ranger abilities to read his and Eri's memories." Sora said, surprising the adults.

"Did you say you can read people's memories?" Tsukauchi asked with widened eyes.

"Yeah. It's one of the many abilities we inherited from previous Power Rangers." Sora said to them. "So, Ayu and I read their memories to learn more about the situation Eri was in and what Chisaki wanted from her."

"Amazing..." Serena said in awe and pride.

"If you already know then this saves us time," Tsukauchi said, bringing out his notepad. "So Ukashi, what did you learn from the two?"

Sora's face immediately turned into a frown as he was going to tell them the heartbreaking truth. "A lot, but you're not going to like what I saw. So be prepared for what I'm about to say." 

"Don't worry, Sora. We adults can handle anything you say." Serena said to her son.

Sora looked at them for a moment before sighing to himself. "Alright. Okay, so here's what happened..."


Later...

"....And  that is Chisaki's ultimate goal. To destroy hero society because he blames quirks for making heroes that pushed Eri's grandfather into a corner and with his plan, he could restore the Yakuza back to its former glory." Sora finished explaining.

Tsukauchi and Serena remained silent from the information told to them. They have their own reactions to this.

"Seriously..." Serena was just beyond disgusted by Chisaki. She knew a lot of bad guys from her line of work, but this Chisaki took the cake. She also felt pity for Eri for having such a cruel life. No one should go through what this little girl has been through.

Tsukauchi had the same feelings as Serena. He may not be a pro hero, but it still felt like he failed to uphold his duty as a detective. "That sounds bad," He said in concern.

"Chisaki was doing all of this to repay a debt," Sora said to them.

"A debt?" Tsukauchi said with a raised brow.

"Chisaki grew up homeless and was taken in by Eri's grandfather as a child. Chisaki looked up to Eri's grandfather like a father and wanted to repay the man for taking him in at a young age." Sora said.

"Was Eri's grandfather okay with this idea of his?" Serena asked.

"No, he was completely against the idea because of how inhumane it was. But Chisaki was determined to see his plan through, so he used his powers to put Eri's grandfather in a coma and plans on waking him back up when all is said and done." The HF leader said with a grim tone.

"What..." Serena said in anger.

"But what about about the quirk-destroying bullets? Do they have them completed?" Tsukauchi asked the Ranger.

Sora shook his head in response. "Luckily no. They haven't completed the drug yet. All they managed to do is create bullets that only temporarily take a person's quirk away for a few hours." He said, making the adults sigh in relief.

"That's good to hear," Serena sighed. "One less thing to worry about." 

"Here," Sora said holding out both of his hands to him. "Grab onto my hands. I'm going to show you the memories I've seen from Eri and Chisaki."

"You can show people your memories?" Serena asked in curiosity.

"Yeah, it's something I inherited from Zayto, the Red Dino Fury Ranger." Sora said to them.

The Red Dino Fury Ranger had another power called Memory Transferal; which lets Zayto show others his own memories using his telepathy.

Serena and Tsukauchi both grabbed Sora's hands to see the memories of what Sora saw from Eri and the villain.

"Okay, I'm going to transfer my memories of everything I know about them to you both, but be prepared for what you're about to see," Sora warned the two before using his Telepathy on them.

And then, the minds of Serena and Tsukauchi were filled with everything Sora saw from Eri and Chisaki's memories. When they let go of his hands, they gasped in horror at the unbelievable nightmare that Chisaki put that poor girl through. To think that one girl could have such a cruel life.

Suddenly, Serena's expression turned into a serious one. "Does anyone else know about this?" She asked.

"No." Sora shook his head. "Besides Ayumi, you guys are the only ones who know."

"Well, with the information you provided to us from the villain's memories, this will make things go smoothly." Tsukauchi said, pulling out his phone to make a call. "I'll be sure to put a warrant out for the Shie Hassaikai clan and call in any heroes that are available for a possible raid." He said to them.

"Good." Serena with an angry expression on her face. "While you're doing that, I'll inform the higher-ups about this so we can put together a platoon, storm into the Shie Hassaikai stronghold, and bring that place to the goddamn ground!"

"Mom..." Sora said to the officer in a calm but serious tone as he was looking straight into her eyes. "Let me and my team join in too."

"What...?" Serena looked at the boy with a slightly surprised expression.

"After everything I learned about today, I want to make those bastards suffer for what they did to Eri!" The Red Ranger told her.

The way Sora told Serena this wasn't a question.

It was an request.

She let out a sigh and placed her hand on her son's shoulder.

"Look, Sora, I know how you feel about all this- believe me, I'm just as mad as you are. But I don't want you to get so worked up about this that you'd end up charging into their stronghold and getting yourself killed." She told him calmly.

"She's right." Tsukauchi joined in. "You and Suzuni have done more than enough to help with this. But if you still want to join in on the raid, Serena and I will let you and your friends know if anything happens involving Chisaki and the Shie Hassaikai clan." 

Sora appeared to have calm down at this. "Thank you." He said, leaving this to the authorities. "By the way, you said that Chisaki was picked up."

"Yes. He's currently being held in one of our cells right now," Tsukauchi said as they were lucky that the villain was still unconscious when they found him. "We'll be sure to transport him to Tartarus prison in the morning."

'Good. I hope he rots in prison for the rest of his life.' Sora thought in a pissed-off none caring tone. "So, what are we going to do about Eri?" He asked.

"...That's the thing," Serena said, sighing. "Since Eri's father is dead, her mother disowned her, and her grandfather is in a coma, she doesn't have any other relatives to take her in. Normally, we take children in her situation and leave them in a home until we can figure out where to properly place them. However, since Eri has refused to leave your side or Ayumi since you arrived...she can stay with us for the time being."

Sora's eyes widened a bit at Serena's idea. But he wasn't against it. Far from it really. He actually kinda...liked it. 

"Are you sure?" Tsukauchi asked Serena.

"Yeah, we have a guest room in the house." She replied.

"Alright. I have the paperwork right here for you to sign. Eri will have to continue with medical examinations until the full extent of her damage can be determined. She will also have to start doing quirk training, so she can get her powers under control." Tsukauchi said, pulling out some paperwork. "Given the nature of her ability, it would be too dangerous due to her being unable to control her quirk if it were to go out of control again."

"I get it. From what I saw, Chisaki didn't give her any form of training at all to control her powers." Sora said to Tsukauchi.

"Indeed. Which is why I'll get in touch with Principal Nezu to set up an appointment to have Eri's quirk test at U.A." Tsukauchi handed the paperwork to Serena.

Serena then read the paperwork before signing it.

Tsukauchi took it back and read over it quickly. "Alright, this all seems to be in order for now. You can head back and take her home, Ukashi." Tsukauchi informed Sora.

"Okay." Sora nodded as he turned for the door, only to pause for a second and look back at Serena. "Mom. I-" He was about to apologize before he was stopped.

"You don't need to apologize, Sora." Serena said to his son. "I can understand why you wanted to save her, after what that villain did to her. But can you please be a little more careful next time? The last thing I need is for you to die."

Sora rubbed the back of his neck and said, "I can't make any promises since I'll be doing that a lot in the future. But I'll try."

"That's all I ask for," Serena said to her son, smiling. "Now, get out of here."

 The HF leader nodded back to her with his own smile as he headed back into the waiting room, where Eri was waiting with Ayumi; the former girl letting out a small laugh as she was still watching a movie on Ayumi's phone while the latter smiled.

"Looks like you two are having fun." Sora teased the two girls, getting their attention.

Eri gained a blush of embarrassment on her face. "It was funny." She said in an embarrassed voice that just made Sora and Ayumi smile, as the former moved near them.

"So, how'd it go?" The blonde asked him.

"Well, after talking about it for a while...Eri's gonna be staying at our house." Sora told her.

"Really?" Ayumi blinked in surprise.

"Yeah." Sora nodded. "Mom brought up the idea of having her stay, seeing that we have extra room."

"Wow, doesn't that sound great, Eri?" Ayumi excitedly asked Eri, only to notice an unsure and nervous look on the young child's face. "Hey, what's wrong?" 

"Are you gonna leave?"

"I- huh?" Ayumi blinked, looking at Eri in surprise, who then glanced up at her with small tears in her eyes.

"You live with him, right?" She explained in a small voice. "You're not gonna leave soon, are you?"

"I - oh -"

"Why don't you stay over tonight?" Sora asked, causing Ayumi to look at him. "I mean, we have a day left before we have to go back to school. So..."

Ayumi's face couldn't help but turn red at this as she played with her hair. "W-Well - I wouldn't feel comfortable with just leaving Eri behind tonight. It'd be better for her to spend some more time with us before then. But still - I should probably call home to tell everyone."

"Right, right," Sora nodded, letting out a small sigh as he readied his Morpher.  "Come on Eri, let's go," He said, holding out his hand for her to grab.

"Okay." Eri quietly said holding on to Sora's hand before reaching her other hand to take his Ayumi's.

The Pink Ranger felt her heart squeeze for a moment - and then gave a soft smile. "Ready."

With that, the three teleported out the police station and to the Ukashi home.

To Be Continued...

 

 

 

Notes:

Longest chapter by far. A lot happened in this one, concluding with Eri now staying with Sora and Serena!

I was hoping to end the Sora x Ayumi half of this fille in this chapter, but due to it being longer than I thought, I've decided to add a third chapter and end it there before moving onto the others. Look forward to it though, because I think you guys are gonna love what I have in store.

Btw, I gotta ask...do you guys think Eri would see Sora and Ayumi as her surrogate parents? (Like Yui did for Kirito and Asuna in SAO)

Thank you very much for reading. "Power Rangers: Heroes Force" will return. Please be sure to favorite and follow if you like the story, and also review it. If you have any questions or discussions you'd have for me, then please in a review or a PM my profile.

Thank you for reading, may God bless you, and have a wonderful day.

Chapter 78: Chapter 19.5 Pt.3 The First One

Notes:

Well, here it is! The last part of Sora and Ayumi's section of the filler! Enjoy!

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

Ukashi Resident-Night

"Here we are." Sora said turning on the lights in the house, illuminating the room for Eri to see. "Home sweet home."

"We should head into the living room for now." Ayumi suggested as they walked into the living room. "There's the sofa. You can sit down here, Eri." 

Eri seemed relaxed and more comfortable than when she first met the duo.

"By the way, do you have your old clothes when you were her age?" Ayumi asked Sora.

"Nah,  Mom gave them to charity when I outgrew them." Sora said to her. "But, I might have a shirt or something she could wear."

Ayumi perked up at something. "Oh! I'll just give her one of my old clothes, and buy some clothes for her tomorrow!" 

"In that case, I'll leave that up to you," Sora chuckled as he rubbed his head. "I don't have a sense for fashion."

"Right." Ayumi then turned her gaze down to the third member. "So Eri, are you hungry?" She asked with her nodding lightly.

"Well, I'm not really a cook or anything, but I'll make something for you," Sora said to them. "But first, would you mind giving her a bath, Ayu? You can use the shower stuff inside and I'll lend you some of my clothes too."

"U-uh, okay." Ayumi said with a nod. "Eri, come on, and let's get you cleaned up."

Eri got up from the sofa and was picked up by Ayumi, who headed upstairs to the bathroom to take a bath.


"Alright, let's get the water started." Ayumi muttered to herself as she set Eri down on the floor. However, Eri still held on tight to Ayumi's hand and refused to let go.

When Ayumi, with Eri in her arms, entered the bathroom and turned on the light, the young horned girl looked around and saw a simple bathroom. Nothing too special about it. A cabinet with a few drawers and a double sink attached. Next to the sink was a small soap dispenser with pink soap inside. Two toothbrushes, one white and one red. As well as a toilet and a bath and shower combo with a curtain that had cherry blossom patterns on it. 

The Pink Ranger then went over to the bath and turned the water on to warm. Good enough so it would be nice and could clean Eri well, but not hot enough to burn the young girl. 

Once the water hit the middle of the tub, Ayumi smiled as she tested the temperature with her finger and nodded when she decided that it was perfect. "Alright Eri, the water's ready! Are you ready to get cleaned up?" She asked the young girl.

"Ok." Eri said while looking to her...and still refusing to let go of his hand.

"..."

"..."

"Eri..." Ayumi began with a small blink. "You have to let go of my hand to take a bath."

However, Eri was not prepared for this as she flinched. "W-W...What..." Eri let out in a trembling tone. Just then tears started to build up in the 5-year-olds eyes and her lip started to quiver. She then completely latched onto Ayumi's arm and held it tightly like it was her lifeline. "But I don't wanna let go!"

Protective instincts quickly came over Ayumi and he knelt down and held the little girl close and reassured her, "Its ok Eri. It's ok." Ayumi said as she lightly patted Eri's head with one arm and hugged her with the other. "I know you're still scared about this whole thing, but do you wanna know a secret? I'm scared too; same thing with Sora and our friends. We're all scared of something, and that's okay because it's perfectly normal to be scared of something. Wanna know another secret? It's something Sora told me a long time ago when we were young; something I've never forgotten. Being brave means saying 'I'm scared... but I won't let that stop me.' You see? That's how to be brave. I've heard a lot of versions of that saying since then, but that one always meant the most to me."

This seemed to calm Eri down a bit, but she still clung tightly to Ayumi's arm. The Pink Ranger opened the drawer on the sink-cabinet and took out a few bath bombs so she could make the bath a bubble bath. "Ahh, there we go!" She soon dropped 2 bombs into the water and almost instantly, they started disintegrating and filling the bath with a huge bubble storm. 'Perfect.' The blonde thought, lifting the smock Eri was wearing and took it off her before lying it to the side. She then lifted the girl and gently set her down into the tub. She felt Eri flinch a bit when the young girl was lowered into the water but quickly ease into it.

Once she knew Eri was completely submerged into the water and bubble, Ayumi sighed in relief as she could only see Eri's head and arms through the bubbles. However, when looking at her arms, she saw the dirty bandages still on her arms. She needed to take those off to clean her completely. But when she reached to take them off her, Eri recoiled a bit and pulled her arms back. Ayumi gave Eri a gentle look and told her in a calm tone. "Eri, it's ok, I need to take your bandages off to clean you completely. I promise I'll replace them with new ones, alright?"

Eri gulped nervously, but nodded and shakily held her arms out to the blonde. Ayumi smiled at Eri as she started to unwrap the bandages from both arms and legs-

She felt her breath hitch at what she saw. Eri's arms were covered in scratches, scars, and even incision lines on both of her forearms and her calves. 

'What...what...what happened to her?!' Ayumi screamed in her mind as she looked over her arms. But just then, she gritted her teeth as realization came to her. 'Chisaki...did this to her!' She angrily thought as a dark look shadowed her beautiful face.

"Ayumi?" She lightly gasped as she looked to see Eri giving her a confused expression. "Is everything alright?"

Gulping, Ayumi forced a smile and nodded at the child. "Yeah, thanks Eri. That's much better." She said as she quickly tossed the bandages in the garbage.

Once that was finished, Ayumi removed her own clothes and let her hair loose from her ponytail, allowing her golden hair to fall down her back before joining the little girl within the bathtub. She then got to cleaning the girl and herself. It took some effort, but Ayumi managed to scrub the dirt and grim off her, but when she did, she was able to see that she had light peach colored skin. Thanks to some scrubbing and a lot of shampoo she was able to see that her hair, which had previously looked like a used mop, was a glorious white color and her horn was a yellow-brown color.

"Ok, all done." Ayumi said with a relieved sigh before draining the water from the tub. She then picked out the biggest and fluffiest towel she could find in the biggest and fluffiest towel and completely wrapped it around Eri's body, covering everything but her head. She then proceed to wrap another one around her own body in the process.

Once that was done, she took out a bottle of mouthwash and one of Sora's un-opened spare toothbrushes and a tube of toothpaste. Then, for the next 15 minutes, she got to work on cleaning Eri's mouth. Eri completely cooperated with Ayumi brushing her teeth and washing her mouth with the mouthwash until Ayumi smelt her breath and decided she was perfectly clean inside and out.

"Now, for what you should wear..." Ayumi began as she heard a knock from the door.

"Hey, Ayu!" Sora's voice called out from behind the door. "I've laid out some clothes for you two! And the food will be ready once you come out."

"Okay!" Ayumi replied back. "We're finishing up now. So, we'll be out in a sec!"

"Right." Sora's footsteps were heard walking away.

"Um...Ayumi." Eri said in an uncomfortable tone. Ayumi hummed a bit as Eri held her arms out, making the blonde's eyes widen a bit at what the 5-year-old girl meant by that.

"Oh! Right! Your bandages. One second." The Pink Ranger reached to the top of the cabinet, got the first-aid kit Sora and Serena kept them and opened it up and took out the bandages inside. Ayumi then quickly wrapped up both of Eri's arms and legs in the fresh bandages, much to the young girl's relief.

Once Ayumi was done, she put the first-aid kit back and as she did so, she heard Eri's stomach let out a small growl. The older girl couldn't help but smile at how cute it was and patted Eri's head. "Come on, let's get dressed and get something in your belly." Ayumi said as Eri nodded and held her stomach.


 {"I'm sorry, did you say that Ayumi's going to be staying over at our house?"}

Sora was currently on the phone with Serena and informing her about the situtation as he was in the middle of cooking. He shredded his jacket and was currently wearing a red tanktop and black sweat pants.

"Yeah." Sora replied, rubbing his head. "Since it would've been awkward for me to clean Eri, it was better for Ayu to do it. Plus, Eri didn't want her to leave so..."

{"I understand."} Serena hummed after a moment. {"Still, are you and Ayumi going to be okay taking care of Eri until I get home?"} 

"Yeah, no worries. I'm currently making some food while they're bathing." Sora answered back.

{"Right. I'll leave that up to you then."} Serena said before giving Sora a quick goodbye and hanging up the phone.

"Was that Ms. Serena?" Sora looked behind him to see Ayumi entering the kitchen with Eri right beside her.

 Eri was wearing one of Sora's shirt and boxers. It was too big for her to wear, but it was better than nothing. Her old bandages were replaced and she looked as good as new.

Ayumi, on the other hand, was wearing a plain white tanktop with black shorts as her hair hung loosely over her shoulders.

And at that very moment, Sora couldn't help but gawk at her. He had to admit, she looked good in his clothes, but then again she always looked good in anything she wore. But a sense of pride was coming in Sora; he really enjoyed seeing her look like that. 

"Uhh, yeah." Shaking his head of such thoughts, he turned his attention to Eri. "Sorry if the shirt's too big, Eri." He said with a smile while cooking dinner.

Ayumi then smelled something good from his cooking and recognized the smell.

"That smell! Are you making chicken curry?" She happily asked.

Sora smiled at his friend's reaction. "You bet. Since there's a special guest, I might as well make something special." He said making a plate. "I learned how to make it from my mom, after all."

Eri began to smell the aroma and her stomach growled loudly in hunger.

"Looks like someone's hungry," Ayumi said, pulling out a chair. "Sit here and let's get some food in your stomach," she said to her.

Eri looked at Ayumi, and she gave her a nod to go on. Eri then walked over to the chair and sat down at the kitchen table. Then Sora pushed the chair close to the dinner table.

"Here you go, little madam. Sora 's special curry." The Red Ranger said, putting a hot plate of curry on the table.

Sora put a glass of juice next to Eri, so she can have something to drink while she eats. As he sat down as well, Eri just stares at the plate of curry with a little bit of drool coming out of her mouth.

"Go on, dig in Eri before it gets cold," Ayumi said to her.

Eri did exactly that as she took a bite of the curry with her eyes widening, and she started to wolf down the curry like she didn't have anything to eat for days. Sora and Ayumi could only assume that bastard, Chisaki, didn't care much for feeding her.

"There's no need to rush. It's not going anywhere." Sora said to the girl.

It didn't take too long before Eri finished the last of her curry and drank her juice, but it looked like she wasn't satisfied.

"Do you want some more, Eri?" Ayumi asked the girl.

"Y-Yes," Eri said with a nod.

"On it." Sora said, knowing what to do. He grabbed Eri's plate and put more curry on it. He then gave the curry back to the girl, who immediately started to eat it again. "You want some too, Ayu?"

"Definitely!" She replied with a nod.

With that, Sora then grabbed two plates and put curry on both; one for him and one for Ayumi. 

Soon, both teens began joining Eri in eating their food. "So Eri, how does it taste?" Sora asked the horned girl.

 "It's good." She said, stuffing her face with more curry.

"I know, right?" Ayumi hummed as she chewed her meal.

"Good to hear that," Sora said with a smile as he was eating his food.

After that, Sora ate five plates of curry, Ayumi ate four and Eri ate three. Soon, they were stuffed with their meal.

Ayumi also held her stomach with a content sigh. "Ahh, that was so delicious~" She continued. "I can never get enough of your curry."

Eri also had a satisfied look on her face. She ate a lot for a little girl her age.

"No doubt," Sora said stretching his arms behind his back. Then turned his head to Eri. "Feeling tired, Eri?" He asked getting a nod from her. "Ayu, can you show her to the guest room. We can help you get settled there..."

"No!" Eri shouted in fear, which made both Rangers look worried. She gazes down her head in shame. "I don't want to sleep alone." She said quietly.

Sora then got up from the chair and patted her on the head. "Hey, it's fine. We're not gonna leave you alone." Sora said patting her, as she looked up at him. 

"Exactly!" Ayumi nodded to her. "Trust us." She held her hand out to the small girl, who slowly took it.


Sora opened the door to another room and let the girls in. The room was pretty normal by regular standards. It had a drawer, bed, closet, bookshelf, and a desk near the window.

 "Sorry, it's a little dusty since I don't get many people to come in here," Sora said starting to clean up the room a little.

"Come on Eri, let's get some sleep," Ayumi said, helping her get settled in and making sure she was comfy as she sat on the bed next to the horned girl.

 After dusting for a bit, Sora turned on an old night light he had. "In case you get scared." With that done, he went over to the bed.

"Sora? Ayumi?" Eri asked after a moment.

"Yes, Eri?" The latter said.

"Why did you two help me?" Eri asked  with worry in her voice.

"What do you mean?" Sora asked in surprise.

"W-Why did you help me? I-I'm cursed." Eri asked them, still confused.

Ayumi looked shocked at those words. "Wha...?"

Sora immediately got upset by this. 'Those fucking bastards! Making a little girl question who she is!' He thought in anger.

Putting aside his own anger, Sora spoke up. "Eri, I want you to listen to me very carefully," He said to her in a very serious tone. "You are not cursed."

Eri's eyes widened as these were the first kind words she had ever received. "But! But they said-"

Putting aside her own anger, Ayumi then cut her off. "Sora's right. They were nothing more than a bunch of scumbags that would hurt, kill, use, lie, and steal from innocent people just for their own selfish reasons." The blonde said to her with a frown. "Nothing they said about you is true."

More tears spilled out of Eri's eyes as she couldn't understand why they were being so nice to her.

"But-" Eri was cut off again.

"No buts!" Ayumi shouted a little. "You are not a cursed child, Eri. You just don't know how to control your powers, yet."

"Control?" Eri repeated.

"That's right. You may not know this, but we used our abilities to look into your memories and saw what you did to your father." Sora said, making Eri's eyes widen in panic. "Eri, did you do it on purpose?" He asked her.

Eri looked at him in fear as she thought he was going to hate her. "N-No."

"Then it's not your fault." Sora said patting her on the head.

"What?" Eri looked at him in confusion. Why didn't he hate her? She still couldn't understand.

"All children your age have problems controlling their quirks when they first get them. It's not your fault, Eri." Ayumi told her.

Eri looked at them with curiosity and asked, "Why?"

This time, it was the Ranger duo's turn to be confused. "Why what?" Sora asked.

"Why are you being so nice to me?!" Eri cried out.

Ayumi looked at her confused before putting on a kind smile. "Because you deserve it." She simply said.

"Exactly," Sora said as he knelt down to the bed. "You're free from those guys. And we're gonna protect you from any more pain. If you want something, all you have to do is ask for it." 

Eri didn't know how to respond to that. No one had ever been nice to her. At least not honestly. But the people in front of her were so nice. And their touch was gentle and warm.

Being with them made her feel something she hadn't felt in a very long time.

Happiness.

"I want..." Eri mumbled, eyes downcast. Looking up, she cried as she outstretched her arms. "I want to be with you two forever!" Ayumi finally broke, her own tears falling as she wrapped the little girl in her arms, even as Sora put his arms around the both of them.

"You will, Eri." Ayumi said with a grin. "We promise."

Eri then clung onto them as she was crying into Ayumi's chest, not letting go for dear life in fear that this was all a dream and Overhaul was still free and would come for her again to kill her saviors.

Sora smiled at this adorable sight before he released himself from them.  "Well, after that emotional moment, and the really long day we all had, let's get you to sleep."

"I think I have just the thing to help with that." Ayumi took a deep breath and she put her hand to the back of Eri's head to bring her ear a bit closer to her.

What Eri and Sora didn't expect to hear was a soft, beautiful voice coming from Ayumi herself.

Upon finishing the song, Ayumi soon looked down and saw Eri already fast asleep, having a peaceful look on her face. She couldn't help but smile warmly as she couldn't help but pat her on the head gently. "Sweet dreams, Eri." She whispered.

Sora looked beyond surprised as he couldn't believe that she could actually sing. He knew she could dance, could handle herself in close combat, and was very acrobatic, but never before did he think she could sing.

He then watched Ayumi place Eri gently back on the bed and cover her up in a blanket as she snored lightly. He tapped Ayumi with his finger to get her attention.

"Hey, I'm gonna go clean up the dishes." He told her, getting up from his spot.

"Mind if I help?" Ayumi asked, turning to him.

Sora blinked at the request before replying with, "Sure."

With that, the two quietly moved to the door and went out of the room with the door slightly open.


Later, after heading downstairs, the duo had finished the cleanup and were now sitting on the couch together. "So..." Sora rubbed his head. "Quite the day, huh?"

"Yeah..." Ayumi sighed. "Not exactly how I thought my 2-day vacation was going to start off. But I believe some good came from this."

"Definitely." Sora nodded. "For example. I never knew you could sing." He soon said softly.

This time, Ayumi was the one that turned red. "O--oh yeah." She said nervously. "I don't really like other people knowing about it. Other than the staff, you're the only person who's ever heard it. Not even Reina, Cyrus or Kiba know. I wanted to tell you guys, but I was scared. It's with good reason since, I don't think it sounds good."

"Are you kidding? " Sora said honestly as he leaned towards her. "Your voice, it sounds beautiful."

Ayumi's face was soon completely flushed with red, "D--do--do--Don't say things like that; it's embarrassing!"

Sora couldn't help but chuckle a little at the way she looked. "If you really don't like people knowing about it, then I won't say anything unless you feel comfortable." He said while rubbing the back of his head as he blushed again, "But in exchange, could you let me hear you sing again?"

"Wait... You want to hear more?" She asked, looking  surprised.

"Well, yeah...if you want." Sora said in a sheepish voice as he tried to hide his face from her.

Ayumi looked at Sora, still in shock, as she wondered if he was serious or not. It hadn't been long, however, before she drew her own conclusion. "Mmm... I suppose I could make an exception." She said with an amused smile. "Okay then... If you really want to hear it, then I'll sing for you. But you better not tell anyone afterwards, got it?"

"C'mon, who do you take me for!?"

"Relax Fearless Leader, it was just a joke."

Ayumi soon pondered at what song she should sing; after but a few brief moments a song came into her head. With a deep breath, she started to sing with a voice of silk and warmth. Sora listened closely.

After Ayumi finishes her song, Sora could only look on in awe. "Wow. You really are a great singer. And a great older sibling."

 The Pink Ranger tilted her head. "Huh? What do you mean?"

"Well, when I saw you and Eri had fun back at the police station and when I saw you sing her to sleep a while ago, it reminded me of what you said earlier about you wanting a younger sibling of your own. Looks like you got your wish. And I'm really glad that I got to see your wish come true, cause I really like seeing you smile like that."  Sora replied with a toothy grin.

Ayumi, on the other hand, had a shocked look on her face as she stared at him with wide eyes, as if his very words literally took her breath away.

Without realizing it, her body moved on its own as she moved towards Sora, leaned forward and... 

...The next thing Sora knew, he felt her soft lips on his cheek, making him turn red as he was suddenly in a daze. Ayumi quickly realized what she did as she found her face turning red too, as she had been in a daze as well. She abruptly sat up, with her face still flushed red. "R-r-r-right! I'll se-se-see you in the mo-morning!" Ayumi stammered as she started to stand, only for Sora to pull her back down, gently take her into his arms, and caress her cheek. He leaned forward a bit hesitantly till finally...

... His lips connected with hers; his eyes closed shut, as he relaxed before starting to move his lips against hers.

Ayumi's eyes shot wide open as she had been taken back by this action. She felt him tighten his grip a little before she felt his hands take hold of her hips, causing her to squeak a little. She felt him brush his tongue against her bottom lip, before he started to explore her mouth, causing her to moan. 

She soon found herself shutting her eyes again as her cheeks turned red. To Sora's surprise, she started responding to the kiss as as their tongues slowly rolled together. Using her arms, she placed them around his neck to bring him closer instead of pushing him away.

After a few moments, they finally disengaged from the kiss with gasps, a bridge of spit connecting them before it snapped, leaving Ayumi in a daze as she slumped against him; Sora kept a steady grip on her

After a few moments, they finally disengaged from the kiss with gasps, a bridge of spit connecting them before it snapped, leaving Ayumi in a daze as she slumped against him; Sora kept a steady grip on her.

"Hey, Ayu?" He said a little worried after catching his breath, "You still with me?"

Ayumi spoke up as best she could, as she fixed up her har, seeing as how it was looking a little wild before speaking, "Y-Yeah, I'm okay. That was... My first kiss..."

Sora looked embarrassed again as he looked off to the side. "Ye-Yeah... Mine too..."

"G-Good to know." She yelped with a high-pitched crack in her voice. "Does that mean that you feel the same way I feel about you?"

"I-I think so."

"O-Okay, good..." Ayumi cleared her throat before continuing, standing up awkwardly. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go check up on Eri and see if she's sleeping okay."

"Right!" Sora likewise nodded, standing up as well. "That sounds good! I'm gonna go hit the shower and turn in. Goodnight!"

"G-goodnight!"

"Goodnight!" They both said at the same time.

With that, they both ran as fast as they could up the stairs, trying not to trip or look at each other in fear of exploding into a mess of embarrassed goo. They finally reached the top, Sora running ahead to his room and Ayumi to the guest room; and they both quickly opened and slammed them shut, (though Ayumi closed the door very quietly as to not wake Eri). 

And that was when they both leaned against their doors, with Sora holding his hand over his lips and Ayumi holding her hands in front of her face as they both thought, at the same time:

'OH. MY. GOD!'

But unknown to the pair, trouble was brewing its ugly face in the worst possible way.


Musutafu Police Station- Night

In a pitch black cell, Kai Chisaki was livid for several reasons. He had worked so hard to get to this point. Putting the old man in a coma, using Eri's quirk to make the quirk erasing drug, and building up his organization from the shadows. Everything was going his way. Instead, he lost her to some kids dressed in red and pink spandex outfits, playing wannabe heroes. He was normally prepared for anything, but those kids seemed to catch him off guard. They used Quirks he had never seen before and knocked him out.

Whoever they were, they weren't normal.

When he regained consciousness, he was in a cell and had Quirk-Nullifying handcuffs, so he couldn't use his quirk to free himself.

He had the perfect plan and the perfect tool to put an end to the disease known as heroism, but two snot-nosed kids had to ruin everything. This can not go unpunished. Once he was free, he was going to find the kids responsible for his current situation and make them pay. But first, he needed to find a way out of this cell.

"Boss you in there?" A man said outside his cell.

"Nemoto? Is that you?" Chisaki asked a little surprised.

"Yes. We were worried when you didn't come back, so we had one of our guys use their quirk to track you down." Nemoto explained to his boss. "Don't worry, I have the key to open the cell." He said unlocking Chisaki's cell.

When the door opened it revealed four men.

Shin Nemoto.

A slim man with short, light-colored hair that he wears parted with bangs hanging down his forehead. He wears a black cape and a pair of baggy 3/4 pants, as well as a black bowler hat and pale sneakers. He sports a black plague mask.

Joi Irinaka also known as Mimic.

A short man who is usually seen inside a black suit that he possesses with his Quirk as a means to disguise himself. It appears to just be a small black cloak with short legs and arm-like protrusions and a white plague mask, that he wears as part of the Shie Hassaikai, sewn over where his face should be.

Hari Kurono also known as Chronostasis.

A man who is wearing a plague mask, his being black with gold trim and also including circular glasses over his eyes. He can also be distinguished from them by the long white raincoat he wears, the hood kept permanently up.

And another brown hair man dressed in a police officer uniform who works for the Shie Hassaki clan.

Overhaul stood up when his subordinates opened the cell door and walked up to them. Nemoto used the handcuff key to unlock the cuffs.

"It's good to see you are well, young master," Kurono said to his boss. "Here." He said handing him a bird mask.

"I'm fine, but I'm going to kill the ones responsible for this." Chisaki said with a light growl putting on his new mask. "Did you find Eri?"

"Sorry boss, but we don't know where she is." Mimic said to him.

"Useless, all of you." Chisaki said in disappointment.

"I know where she is." The corrupt officer said, getting Chisaki attention.

"Where is she?" Chisaki asked in a cold demanding tone.

The corrupt officer showed no signs of fear from his cold gaze. "I saw her leave the station with some kid with spiky black hair and a blonde girl." He said tipping his hat a bit from his gaze.

Chisaki was irritated by this as there was only two people in mind he knew who looked like that.

'Those damn brats.' Chisaki thought in annoyance.

The good news is he now knows where Eri is. But the annoying part is that those brats are with her. But it didn't matter, as he wasn't going to get caught off guard again like last time.

"So what's the plan, boss?" Nemoto asked.

"We'll head back to the base for now and then plan our next move." Chisaki said walking out of the cell. "Put the word out to everyone. We are getting Eri back, no matter what." Chisaki said in a cold tone.

"Yes, sir." The four chorused as they began to make their leave.

Chisaki, however, followed after them with a dark look crossing his face. 

'Those kids are going to pay for cross me! I'll let you have Eri for now, but know this... I will make your deaths slow and painful!' He thought swearing vengeance on Sora and Ayumi.

To Be Continued...

Chapter 79: Chapter 19.5 - Origin of Yellow/ A Day Out

Notes:

Alright, here's a new chapter which centers around the "comedy couple" of the story. This is one I've been looking forward to this! Enjoy!

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

 This is one I've been looking forward to this! Enjoy!

By nature, Kiba Mason was an optimistic, lively person. Always ready with a joke or a laugh to brighten things up.

However, interanlly, it was merely a coping mechanism he developed to cope with the harsh, nay, downright vicious realities of his life. 

In fact, as a child, Kiba had been shockingly lonely. Mostly because, like 20% of the population, he was Quirkless. Born without any powers whatsoever. The other reason was due to his lack of parents. As it turned out, his mother was caught cheating with another man, which caused his father to leave her. Overcome with guilt for her actions, she left Kiba with her parents and disappeared.

Sure, having his grandparents helped lessened the burden, but it instilled a fear into Kiba about being abandoned and alone. More than anything, he craved to be accepted and cared for as his peers were. Which led him into doing things to gain attention...


The sound of laughter and yelling could be heard throughout the schoolyard as teachers were seen chasing after a small Kiba in the halls.

"Mason! Come back here! When I get my hands on you!" One of the teachers growled.

"You've really crossed the line!" Another yelled.

The small boy had just recently placed red powder on the chalkboard erasers so when the teachers use them, they would turn the chalkboards red... but there was some leftover red powder on Kiba's hands. It was safe to say that the teachers were not happy about that.

"Give it up!" Kiba called out, laughing. " Losers! Wannabes! You'll never catch me!" 

He then dipped behind a corner and stayed quiet as the teachers ran passed his location.

After a moment, he peeked his head out of the corner and saw his pursuers running around another corner.

He laughed in victory as he stepped out of his hiding spot and into the hall. "That was too easy!" He said, rubbing the back of his head.

"What was too easy?"

The small boy frozen in place at the sudden voice and and slowly turned his head to see the Principal staring him down with narrowed eyes.

"W-Well, looks like you caught me...red-handed?" Kiba attempted to joke before waving his hands.


"Well, you did it," the school principal told Kiba as he sat in front of him with a guilty expression on his face. Kiba's grandparents were called into the office with them. "You have single-handedly been sent to this office more times than any other student in this school! And that's counting summer school!"

The principal slumped into his chair.

"It makes me so sad seeing you walking through the halls," he said. "A student full of energy getting in more trouble than even the bullies."

"I don't see what the big deal is," Kiba said. "All I've done was pull a little prank."

"Kiba," the Principal sighed. The man looked at him with a disapproving expression. "You placed red powder on the erasers and caused the most of the classrooms to be filled with red mist."

"Yeah, and I think I knocked it out of the park," Kiba said with a smile.

"Really, then tell me, did 'knocking it out of the park' involve THAT?" the principal shouted at the two and pointed to the window of his office's door. On the other side of the door, several windows were open with red mist flowing out of them.

Kiba's grandfather, Rin, then pulled out a bottle of bubbles that Kiba had in his backpack. "And what were you going to do with this?"

"That...was for the big finale," Kiba said, scratching his head. "I was gonna fill the school's bells with bubbles and have everyone enjoy a bubble day."

The young boy was then startled when the principal shot up from his seat and slammed his hands on the desk.

"This is what I'm talking about! Mr. and Mrs. Mason, with all due respect, but your grandson has have caused nothing but trouble at this school and, quite frankly, has become a menace!" The principal yelled, making Kiba gasp in shock and fear before he pointed at the kid. "He's scaring everyone with his weirdness, and it's really troubling! This school is more than willing to allow unique children to go here, but this incident is the last straw for this little runt!"

"Principal, please!" Kiba's grandmother, Camilia, begged, before turning to the boy with a stern frown. "I know that Kiba has caused problems in the past, but he's a good kid. We'll talk to him and make sure he learns from this."

The principal groaned in agony. "Just make him normal somehow already, and I won't expel him!" he yelled at the elderly couple before breaking down into tears and covering his face with his hands. "I can't take this anymore!"

Kiba awkwardly looked away. Even the boy's grandparents didn't know how to respond at that. They've seen the Principal yell and shout at other studen, but never had they seen a fully grown man be reduced to tears, all because of one misbehaving kid.

The two adults took their grandson and led him out of the office as the principal continued to cry his eyes out.

When the door closed, Rin rubbed his temple to ease the headache coming on. Kiba looked at him with an expression of shame.

"Grandpa, I'm so sorry..."

"Stop. It's too late for apologies. What's done is done," he said to the boy. He'd never used that tone of voice with his grandson, unless he did something really bad.

"Kiba, I love your creativity, but it's gotten out of hand," Camilla told him, kneeling down in front of him. "Do you remember why you were in the principal's office the last three times?" Kiba looked away in shame.

"We both love that you express yourself, but this just proved that you're using this as a way to cope," His grandfather said to the young boy.

"But it's fun!" Kiba protested. "The other students love what I do and get a laugh out of it."

"Kiba, your pranks are holding you back," Camilla bluntly told him. "Do you even have any true friends? Real ones, not those who merely laugh at your stunts?"

Kiba opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out. "I..."

"Look, kiddo, I know that it's been... difficult for you; losing your parents the way that you did. You pull all these pranks and do all these crazy stunts to cope with it, but it's time that you let go of the past and look to the future," Rin told Kiba, who just looked away from him with a frown. "Just give this a chance."

This was a fair point. Kiba had gained some issues of self-worth stemming from being abandoned by his parents and not having any real friends. However, if someone should ask him if he's doing alright, he'd brush them off.

However, on a certain day, he'd have a changing experience....


Present Day - Train Station 

Just as he planned with Mina, Kiba was at the train station, and currently waiting for his girl-friend to arrive as he took in the sight of the crystal clear blue skies; and the luscious scenery in the late morning sun was nice and pleasant. 

He was now wearing a yellow/orange shirt, brown cargo shorts and orange hightops.

As Kiba began to pull out his cellphone to try and go down the list, his vision was swiftly and suddenly obscured from behind, but his momentary state of surprise was instantly swept away when he heard an unmistakably cheerful voice speaking in a musical tone: "Guess who~?"

Deciding to play along, Kiba smiled as he hummed jokingly. "Hmmm...is it a very cool and beautiful girl that I know named Mina?"

His surprise intruder immediately removed their hands from over his eyes, and he quickly turned back over his shoulder to find the always sunny smile of said Acid Quirk user standing behind him, her fluffy pink hair and slightly lighter pink skin almost radiant in the morning sun; dressed in a white t-shirt under a yellow vest with no shoulders, purple shorts, and a pair of brown sneakers. On her right wrist was a black wristband.

"Well, you sure know how to flatter a girl, Kibi!" Mina chirped happily with a wink. "You look great!"

"Well, I aim to please." The Yellow Ranger smirked, then he gazed at her outfit again. "You look pretty amazing yourself!"

Smiling in response, Mina gave a little twirl. "Thanks! I thought I'd try something different since I know that yellow's your favorite color. Not bad, right?"

"Not at all!" Kiba replied, driving Mina to give an utterly adorable giggle of excitement as she swayed back and forth. "So, what do you wanna do today?" 

"Oh, c'mon, Kibi, where's the fun in having everything planned out? Just going with the flow is half the fun of hanging out with your friends. Let's consider this is our Day-Off Extravaganza!" Mina exclaimed, pumping a fist into the air.

"Extravaganza, huh?" Kiba hummed with a smile. "I can get behind that."

"Right? Now c'mon! Let's go!" 

Before Kiba could even react, Mina had suddenly taken his hand in her own, and was already eagerly heading for the nearest train to aboard. At first, all he could focus on was just how soft and warm Mina's hand was. This had been far from the first time they had held hands, it felt indescribably different and incredibly nice on a wholly different level.

The two entered the train and took a seat along the side. 


As soon as the train reached its destination, everyone started pouring out of it, including Kiba and Mina. 

"The Kiyashi Ward Shopping Mall!" The latter exclaimed as the duo  walked into the downtown shopping district of Musutafu.

"Man, this place has everything!" Kiba pointed out excitedly.

"For sure! I love this place!" Mina exclaimed as she hopped on her heels. They were now standing in the middle of the enormous mall. "It's got a ton of different stores to shop at, and they're all super cool and hip!"

Kiba then scratched his head. "Is that right? In that case, would you mind showing me around the place since you obviously know it better than me?" He asked.

The eagerness on Minas' smiling face was clear as a fresh spring, while her eyes sparkled. "Of course! Consider me as your personal guide!"

She grabbed his hand and dragged him through the district, not that he minded. "Now come on! I'll show you one of my favorite clothing stores first, and then..."

Kiba let out a laugh as the excited girl listed off store after store, leading him to an escalator.


It turned out to be a rather fun time. The duo were soon talking about all sorts of topics as the two got to know each other more and more. As they hopped from shop to shop, the two discussed a lot of things about one another. They had been able to keep a conversation going for nearly an hour now; evidently, Mina's seemingly unlimited energy was contagious.

"Ahh~!" the Acid Quirk user gasped in delight after finishing another set of her noodles. "Oh, this is the best!" she exclaimed happily, using her chopsticks to take hold of the noodles again.

Kiba never realized up until now how adorable it was to see Mina slurping up ramen noodles, hearing her hum happily. The two hadn't gone out too far into the district, especially as they had plenty of time. So for lunch, they decided to stop at a ramen shop.

"Yeah!" Kiba exclaimed as he swallowed the remainder of pork and noodles. After noisily guzzling down the broth, he released a sigh of ecstasy and slammed his bowl down on the table. "Ah, my compliments to the chef!"

 Meanwhile, a women seated at the countertop glanced back at them curiously.

'Teenagers on a date, huh?' she noted to herself. 'Must be nice to be young...' she muttered inwardly.

"So anyway, about that Power Ranger stuff..." Mina eagerly began.

"You want to know more about it?" Kiba guessed.

"More like I want to know more about the name!" She gushed in response. "Is it like your team name or something?"

Kiba shrugged. "For the most part." He replied, rolling his chopsticks between his fingers. "Hero Force is mainly our team name. Power Rangers is kinda like a legacy title."

Mina sighed as she sat back in her seat. "Man, I wish I had a team name that awesome!" She whined jokingly.

"Speaking of names, do you have a hero name that you thought of for yourself?" Kiba shrugged casually. 

The pink-skinned girl perked up at this. "Yup! I was thinking of going by 'The Ridley Hero: Alien Queen'!" She announced.

"Alien Queen, huh?" The Yellow Ranger hummed. "Do you mean like those Xenomorphs that Reina and some of our classmates mentioned during the Sports Festival? I didn't know that you like those movies. It's actually one of my favorties." 

"I thought it was a cool idea for a name. And it's a nice reference, too. 'Alien' is actually one of my favorite western-made movies, honestly...and Ridley Scott's one of my favorite classic directors." Mina told him honestly. "Also, you don't know how happy I am to hear that that's one of your favorite movies, Kibi. All my middle school friends can't stand scary movies, but I love them." 

The way she so proudly confessed that, without a shred of hesitation, was downright admirable. Kiba couldn't imagine most girls would gladly admit liking scary movies.

"But if your code name is gonna be 'Alien Queen', which showed up in the sequel, then wouldn't calling yourself 'The Cameron Hero' be more accurate? Or even better: what about 'The Ripley Hero'? Even people who've seen the movies and don't pay attention to directors would still get it."

By this point, Kiba was essentially thinking out loud, but swiftly shut himself up when he saw the look of realization on Minas' face, the rest of her body having froze. "Oh. Darn it...you're right!"

Of course, after a moment, the two couldn't help but break into another brief moment of mutual laughter.

"Honestly, I think it's a lot better than the name I came up with for you." He admitted, rubbing his head.

This got Mina's immediate attention. "Wait, you thought of a name for me?" She chirped, looking at him earnestly, visibly and genuinely interested. "What was it? Tell me!"

Kiba laughed at her nature before replying. "Okay. So, after a while of thinking, what I came up with was...'The Alien Hero: Venus'! Or 'Queen Venus!'"

Hearing the name, Mina looked surprised by it. "Queen Venus?" She echoed, as if trying it out. 

The ginger scratched his cheek sheepishly. "Honestly, I thought it would be a fitting choice. The "Alien" could be referencing both your awesome pink, alien-like appearance and the potential nature of your Quirk. "Queen" would keep the "Alien Queen" vibe you wanted originally, but also puts a twist on it. And "Venus"...I actually got the name from Greek stories. It evokes a sense of beauty, power, and potentially a connection to the planet's namesake, the goddess of love and beauty."

Mina blinked at the explanation as her breath hitched. "B-b-beauty?"

 "Yeah, you are both beautiful and awesome to be around, so it works." Kiba answered, with an instinctive comment of his own.

The instant the last syllable left his mouth, his mind finally caught up and he instinctively slapped his hand over his mouth, eyes wide as dinner plates as he nervously glanced over to see Mina was keeping her black-gold eyes glued to on him, likewise wide while the rest of her pink face was turning bright red in similar realization before she looked away. 'Oh, God, Kiba Mason, what were you thinking? Did I go overboard? How do you even backtrack from that? You can't!'

"Sorry..." Kiba meekly apologized, rubbing his neck.

Mina looked up at him. "...For what?" She asked him curiously. 

"...Because..." He started to explain."... I probably made it awkward, right?"

Mina suddenly put a reassuring hand on his trembling wrist, thankfully making him still, as she had a truly confident smile on her face. "I don't think that."

Kiba looked at her in surprise. "What, really?"

"Yeah! Sure, I was taken back by the smooth compliments, but I never said I disliked them! In fact, I do love the hero name! It's way better than 'Alien Queen'!"

Kiba was dumbstruck at this, but he gave a bright smile, as he rubbed his nose. "Oh, good." He said, relieved.

The woman at the counter glanced back at them again.

'How adorable...' she remarked inwardly with a little smile.

"So, what about you?" Mina asked, much to the ginger's confusion.

"Huh?"

"Your hero name! I know you and your team go by 'Power Rangers', but what would you call yourself as a solo name?"

Kiba hummed in thought. "I mean, I did come up with a few names here and there when I was a kid. But now, I'm thinking of keeping it simple and going for 'Ranger Yellow.' No wait...'The Power Hero: Ranger Yellow'!"

 "Huh. That is a really pretty-sounding name."  Mina hummed before an idea popped up. "Hey, wanna hit up an arcade?" she offered to Kiba as she placed some money on the counter. "Maybe burn off some calories with DDR?" she suggested with a grin.

Kiba smiled back as he set some money down too. "You had me at 'Arcade'. Let's go!"


They arrived at the arcade moments later, with the Acid Quirk user heading inside and excitedly smiling at the various choices of racing, shooter, and simple puzzle games scattered around the venue. Kiba entered and immediately looked around, taking in the laughter and enjoyment of everybody else around him as music played throughout the building.

"Man, this place is so packed..." Kiba uttered aloud.

"I know, right?" Mina beamed at him. "This is one of my favorite spots to kick it!"

That's when she immediately took notice of one game in particular.

"A dinosaur shooter?" she said in confusion, causing Kiba to look over and gasp in surprise.

"No way, the new Transformers arcade game?!" he exclaimed as he zipped over to it, "But... I thought this wasn't supposed to come out for another year!" he noted in remembrance, letting his eyes sparkle. "Oh man, I really gotta try this out!"

"Really?" Mina then reaching into her purse to pull out some change that she had. "Mind if I join in too?"

"Are you kidding!? It's multiplayer!" Kiba replied, gesturing towards the two plastic guns that were set up. "Let's game 'til we drop!" he insisted excitedly.

The Acid Quirk user laughed at his anticea, heading over to join the Yellow Ranger at the game.

After that, the duo ran around, playing as many games as possible. From the shooting games to racing, the two of them were having a lot of fun. Even taking selfies on their phones.


It was then they came across a popular game known as 'Dance Dance Revolution', a dance platform or stage with colored arrows laid out in a cross.

The pair moved around on the pad for several seconds as they got used to where the colourful arrows were, and finally picked their levels of difficulty.

"Alright, time to reclaim my streak as the Dancing Queen!" Mina purrs, completely in the zone. "Think you can give me a challenge, Tights?"

Kiba snickered, rolling his neck and shoulders around. "Alright, Pinky, you're on. Loser-"

"Loser buys the winner a prize!"

"Eh... that-"

"What? Chicken?" Mina smirked.

Kiba scoffed, returning the look. "Alright, that's your call!"

Mina puffed her chest proudly. "Good, now for the right song." She then went through the playlist before grinning when she came across a familiar song, one entitled 'Eye 2 Eye'. "Ooh, this one will do great!"

They took their positions on the arrows, then took deep breaths to calm themselves. The screen changed, and suddenly three simple words appeared in the center of the screen. 'Here we go.'

The arrows started to find their way up the screen and towards the immobile arrows as soon as the message disappeared. They moved as gracefully and full of passion and determination as no one else in that room. Despite never playing together, they were completely synchronized in their movements, and even got in a few good moves with their arms. 

Soon, a crowd of at least six or seven people stood around to admire the abilities of the pair.

They occasionally switched boards with each other, receiving awed looks from the crowd. The beat of the music matched up exactly with their movements, and soon they were doing so extraordinarily well that other people in the room abandoned their primitive video games, and took up spots in the crowd.

The lights from the DDR machine blinked on and off with every beat of the song, beat down on the two players with no heat whatsoever.

By the time the song was reaching its halfway point, the crowd had grown by at least fourteen more people, and they all applauded at different intervals. A few people in the back were nodding to each other in approval.

Neither of the two got too caught up with their winning streak, but kept it up as their feet came into contact with each and every arrow at the precise moments that they were supposed to. 

Soon, the song reached its climax and the crowd erupted with applause and several cheers from random people, snapping the duo out of their stupor.

Several others congratulated them on their wonderful skills and moves with the DDR machine. They were even asked how they got to that point, and simply answered by laughing and joking about the money that they never had anymore. 

Kiba and Mina looked at each other, and high-fived each other. 

"Well, that was fun!" Kiba grinned, wiping some sweat from his brow with the back of his arm.

"For sure!" Mina nodded eagerly. "I gotta say, I never had someone who could keep up with me when it comes to dancing!"

 Then, the two looked at the game standing in front of them and saw their scores, only to be shocked by the results. "A tie?" They uttered in unison.

"Wow. I guess we were that good, huh?" Mina commented, slightly bewildered.

 Kiba shrugged his shoulders. "Yeah. Well, I guess I still owe you that prize, huh?" 

 Mina blinked as she looked at him. "Wait, what? But, we both won. You know you don't have to do that, right?"

"True, but I still think the Dancing Queen deserves a prize from the Dancing King." 


"Aww, this is so cute!" Mina cooed as she held up the plush toy of a purple teddy bear in her hands. "I can't believe you were able to get me this plushie!" she noted, squeezing it tightly in her grasp with a cute look on her face.

"I'm glad you like it," Kiba said. After a few more arcade games and joking around, the two decided to stroll through the district, before heading back home afterwards.

"Mhm! I'll make this my treasure~!"

Kiba nodded at her smile. 

"Hey, ain't those U.A. students?" Their conversation was interrupted by a passerby.

"Yeah, I think I recognize them! Class 1-A, from the Sports Festival!" Another voice cried out. The aforementioned students turned to see a small group of people approaching them. "And that orange-haired guy! He's one of those 'Power Rangers' from TV!"

"Ahh, fans." Mina looked back at her compatriot. "Guess that's just one of the many perks of being a U.A. student, huh?" Several more people had also taken notice of them.

"Seems so," Kiba said, rubbing his head.

The two "celebrities" spent a few minutes talking to the group, getting photos and even signing an autograph or two. Unsurprisingly, Kiba was getting the lion's share of the attention as most of the crowd was commenting on his status as a Ranger. Of course, Kiba was merely laughing it off while cracking a few jokes.

Mina giggled as she signed a child's notebook. He was just so cute.

As the fans dispersed, Kiba slumped his shoulders and let out a huge sigh of relief.

"Man, how do Pros handle this every day?" He asked nobody in particular. He looked positively drained.

"The price of fame, eh?" Mina nudged his arm with her elbow. "You shouldn't be so surprised. With everything you and your squad have done since your debut, it's no wonder you're so popular." Kiba looked at her. "Like I said before, you're pretty amazing!"

The ginger laughed at this when he then noticed something on a wall of one of the buildings in the district.

"No way!" He gasped, running over to see a poster with a deadly giant monster on it, destroying a city. "That new monster movie is coming out soon in 3D! That's so cool!" 

He then turned to look over at Mina with a huge grin. "Right, Mimi?" 

Though to his surprise, Mina nervously looked at the poster, squeezing the teddy bear very tightly in her arms.

"Y-Yeah...really cool." She muttered, much to Kiba's confusion.

"Mimi, are you okay? You look a little pale." He said, concerned.

The Acid Quirk user looked at the Yellow Ranger, surprised that he noticed her reaction before she attempted to play it off. "Oh, u-uhh...yeah! I mean, do you see how scary that guy is? Like, woo!" 

Kiba noticed Mina's eyes had a fearful tint to them, before he took a step forward. "I mean, yeah he was. But it looked like you were seeing a ghost." He noted.

"..." Mina didn't answer immediately as she turned her gaze down to the ground. That's when she felt a hand gently lay on her shoulder, looking up to see Kiba giving her a smile.

"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to. I'm just worried is all."

Hearing his comforting words, Mina smiled at her companion. "Thanks, Kibi."

A few moments later, the duo were now sitting on a nearby bench as people walked past them.

Taking a deep breath, Mina looked down while playing with her plushie.

"The truth is...when I was in middle school, I had a run-in with a large villain...Not as big as the one on that poster, but really big..." She explained with look of remembrance. "He was threatening my friends for directions to a Hero Agency, so I stepped in and lied to him, leading him to the police station...Ever since then, I've been nervous of large villains like that."

Kiba just looked at her surprised hearing that. "Wow...I'm sorry you had to go through that." He told her sincerly. "I guess seeing Igeron grow gigantic and go on a rampage in the city during the USJ Attack must've really terrified you and reminded you of that day in middle school?" 

 "You have no idea." Mina shuddered as she recalled said alien centaur.

"Yeah, sorry about that, but honestly...I think that makes you one of the bravest girls I know." Kiba gave her a comforting smile. "I mean, yeah, that situation could've gone wrong at anytime, but you still put yourself in front of your friends to protect them when no one else did. I think that's pretty cool."

Mina perked up and gave him a playful smirk. "Pfft, me? Kibi, your whole squad is Quirkless and you guys went up against a lot of villains, even the ones from the USJ! You're WAY braver than me!"

The Yellow Ranger snorted in response.

"Actually, to tell you the truth... I wasn't always as brave as you think I am." Kiba clarified before continuing with a forlorn smile on his face. "In fact, if it wasn't for Cap and the others....I could've turned out a lot worse."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Kiba leaned back on the bench and turned his gaze upwards. "Well..."


"Hey, it's that Mason guy from the other class!"

"The one who acts like a clown?"

"Yup. From what I heard, he has no parents."

"Not surprising. They probably gave him up because he always acts like that! Such an idiot!"

These were some of the things that Kiba overheard after his prank sometime later. Still, despite the harsh words and scoldings, he would usually give them a cheerful smile and say "nothing's wrong" to hide the pain and sadness that he truly felt. 

But now, he couldn't help but be in distraught, especially considering what today's date was.

"It's my birthday," he sighed with a sad smile on his face. He was nine years old now. And nobody in the school seemed to care.

Despite pulling off pranks and cracking jokes, Kiba was all alone on his birthday in school, surrounded by people who hated him. 

He laughed sadly again. Maybe this was for the best. He was probably better off with no one knowing. He didn't want to give the other kids a specific day that they could single him out on. 

As Kiba made his way from school, he walked to the local arcade, the Game Crown. The Crown was one of his favorite places to come to after school to play games and eat since it also had a full-sized bar and grill (Non-alcoholic drinks, of course.)

Stepping into the building, he suddenly found himself hit by loud noises, colorful lights, and blaring music. Filling the room were old arcade machines, and a few slightly newer ones, but none of them were any younger than twenty years old.

"Wow, you're a natural, Ayumi!"

A sudden voice brought Kiba out of his thoughts as he looked around and realized that a fairly large crowd had gathered around something. Wondering why everyone was watching so intently, the ginger walked over to see a charcoal-haired boy with red highlights around his age, standing near a blonde girl of the same age group.

Kiba saw that the blonde playing the game, and promptly went wide-eyed at what he was seeing. The girl was completely focused on the screen as she blasted her way through the hordes of enemies, and as of now, had accumulated a score of over one hundred thousand points, only a few thousand points away from his all-time high score. He looked over and saw the stunned look on the charcoal-haired boy's face, wondering to himself just how hard he was thinking to not notice any of this before.

Just then, Kiba walked up to the large group and asked aloud. "Hey. What's going on?"

"It's that blonde chick." Someone replied to him. "She's been killin' it at this game and ranking up the highest score!" 

Kiba looked at the machine that said blonde was playing. Upon seeing the score the girl possessed, he became shocked. "Whoa, that high!?"

Suddenly, the blonde's avatar took a huge hit, heralding the end of the game. "Ahh, I lost...!" Her face took on a disappointed expression as her shoulders slumped.

While the crowd reacted to the end of an impressive game run with shock and disappointment, the charcoal-haired boy patted the girl on the shoulder with a grin.

"No sweat, Ayu! That was awesome!" He told her and pointed at the screen. "You got the highest score out of everyone here and one your first try! Up top!"

He held up his hand and the girl gave him a high five. She was bashful, but very happy at the same time.

Kiba's jaw practically dropped to the ground, as he watched the duo high five. She scored that high on her first try!? He couldn't help but walk over to them, while also making sure he doesn't do or say anything that will make them hate him, just like the other kids at his school. "H-Hey."

Hearing this, the duo turned and looked at him. "Oh, hi!" The blonde greeted back.

The charcoal-haired boy's eyes lit up in realization. "Wait, I know you! You're Kiba, right? Kiba Mason?"

Ayumi gasped at this. "Huh? That's him? The one who pulled that prank on the teachers!"

Kiba was surprised that the duo standing in front of him not only know him, but also know about the prank he pulled on the teachers.

"Yeah, that's me." He nodded, then realization hit him. "And you two are?"

"Sora. Sora Ukashi," The boy answered, before gesturing to the blonde. "And this is my new friend, Ayumi Suzuni."

"Hi." She acknowledged.

"Hey." Kiba responded, before blinking at something. "Wait, how do you two know about that prank? Are you guys from the same school as me?"

"Pretty much." Ayumi replied. "Honestly, I don't think there's a single person in school who doesn't know about you."

"Yeah, you're pretty infamous." Sora agreed. "They're even calling you 'Loki'."

"Loki?" Kiba repeated before humming. "Huh, not bad."

"I think that principal blows stuff way out of proportion, though." Sora added.

"Yeah, well, you're not the only one who thinks that." Kiba replied, looking at Ayumi. "So, word is that you got the highest score on your first try."

"Oh, uhh...yeah." She sheepishly played with a lock of hair.

Sora nudged her shoulder proudly. "Heh. Not too bad, isn't she?"  

"Wow, that's pretty cool." Kiba acknowledged. "I've seen plenty of people trying to get the top spot, but they sucked at it."

"Oh, do you come here often?" Ayumi asked.

"Meh, for the most part. This is mostly like my getaway spot."

Sora tilted his head. "What do you mean?" 

Kiba kept quiet for a moment. He didn't really feel comfortable opening up to strangers, but he felt something different about these two. "Actually, today is my birthday. But no one at school seemed to care, so I came here instead of heading home first."

Ayumi gasped in shock as she covered her mouth with hand while Sora was just as surprised as the blonde. The duo then looked at each other, then back at the ginger.

 "Hey, Kiba? How about you hang out with us? We've got room for one more." Sora suddenly asked.

 Kiba looked at him in shock. "Wait, what? Are you sure?" 

 Ayumi threw him a bright smile. "Sora's right. No one deserves to be alone on their birthday."

The ginger-haired boy froze a little at this as tears begin to build up in Kiba's eyes before he wiped them away, grinning.

"Sounds awesome!"

It hadn't been long before they started to go through the arcade. Kiba had enjoyed chatting with the two of them as they had fun. He seemed to learn more about them as they had their conversations. For example, he was very surprised to learn that Ayumi was from a wealthy  family. Though, he should've guess that from the way she carried herself.  He was also very surprised  when he heard tat she and Sora were Quirkless; he had been really taken back.

What really struck his curiosity was when Sora told that he was taking martial arts classes to make up for being Quirkless. He was amazed by the amount of confidence he carried. He had to say, he was really impressed by this.

As for Ayumi, he only noticed that she would only talk about little things. She only seemed to stay silent by certain questions. When he asked about her own parents, she stayed quiet. When he asked about siblings, she stayed silent. Other that that, she seemed to very chatty.

Her likes, her dislikes, and what she likes to do with her free time. It was nice to know something about her, and to be honest, some of the stuff she had liked, was some stuff he liked too. Though he wished he could know more, but maybe another time.

It had just been nearing the end of the day, when the trio walked out of the arcade, as they were getting ready to leave.

"Thanks for today." Kiba said, "I had a blast!"

Sora replied with a smile. "It was no problem! W e had fun! Right, Ayumi?"

"Yeah!" Ayumi smiled back at him. "Seriously, I was surprised that you were a prankster, but... Glad to know that I made another friend."

Kiba couldn't help but turn red as he laughed nervously as he said, "Stop it, I'm blushing."

"Maybe next time we can hang out at school?" Sora suggested. "You know, just so we can get to know each other more. What do you say?"

Kiba said with a grin, "of course!"

"It was a pleasure to meet you, Mason." Ayumi said as she held her hand out. "Here's to surviving in school together."

"Of course!" He said as he shook Ayumi's hand. "And please, call me Kiba! All my friends do."

Ayumi looked at him in surprise while Sora had the same expression. "A-Are you sure that's okay?" She asked him.

"Yeah, it's a no brainer!" Kiba said with a smile.

Ayumi chuckled. "In that case, let's make it even... Call me Ayumi for now."

Kiba looked at Ayumi in surprise before he happily replied with, "Well said, Ayu."

"'Ayu'?" Ayumi repeated as she tilted her head in confusion.

"Yeah, it's my nickname for you." Kiba nodded.

"I like it. It sounds kinda cute," Sora said, causing the blonde to look away with a small blush on her face. "What about me?" He then asked the ginger. 

Kiba thought about what to call Sora with a hum. "What about 'Cap'? You know, like how you're the leader or captain of this little group?" 

While Ayumi nodded her head in acceptance, Sora thought about the new nickname before he turned to the ginger with small smile on his face. "I actually like that nickname."

With that being said, the two of them left; Kiba gave a wave as they disappeared down from his view. His face still had been lit up with joy, as he couldn't help but say aloud, "Best. Birthday. EVER!"


"...And soon after that, we became the usual 'Three Musketeers'." Kiba finished his story to Mina. "Until Cy and Rei came into the picture."

The pink-skinned girl looked on in awe at that. "Wow. Seeing how you and the others get along so well, I take it you guys are really tight?" Mina asked the Yellow Ranger.

Kiba snorted lightly. "Yeah, we are..." Suddenly, a faint smile appeared in his face. "It's why I'm glad those guys came into my life at the right time."

As he turned his gaze back to his friend, he momentarily gasped when Mina began to lean slightly forward with an encouraging glimmer in her golden irises.

"Kibi, you played a much bigger part in all of that than you're giving yourself credit for. You were able to get better because you actively made the choice to try and get better. That is so huge. Making that choice is half the effort of getting along with other people. And if you've already come this far, I know you'll have a much easier time making even more friends."

Kiba's grateful smile grew that much more as Mina realized how much closer she was leaning in, hurriedly pulling herself back with an amused, yet embarrassed, chuckle. However, that deeper, warm smile quickly returned to her pink face as she eventually brought her gaze back to him. "Missteps aside, I'm really, really glad I got to spend today with you like this, Kibi. Times like this are what spending time and having fun with friends is all about...and I'm glad I could be here to share it with you."

Hearing this, Kiba was at the ready to answer anything Mina could have said, as he gladly met her gaze in return, a deeply grateful smile on his face as the words just came out on their own: "I'm glad you're here too, Mimi. Other than my team,  you're the single coolest friend I ever could've asked for...and I can't thank you enough for spending the day with me." 

Mina's naturally pink skin was the only thing to keep him from seeing how much his words of honest gratitude were making her blush in response.

It wasn't long after that that the two teens had soon made their way for the exit, when a passing glance to the side brought Mina to a sudden stop. "Oh my gosh...Kibi, we HAVE to do this before anything else." When Kiba looked to see what had gotten her attention, his eyes fell on a single inconspicuous photo booth resting against the wall.

The shimmering in Mina's eyes already said it loud and clear, but when she looked back, there was no way she could resist: "We just GOTTA have something to permanently remember today by! Come on, this'll be so much fun!"

Kiba had no reason to talk the pink girl out of anything she set her heart or mind to, and soon they were seated rather closely next to each other in the tiny booth as Mina hurriedly pushed all the buttons necessary to get the machine up and running. "I'm down!"

Just as he'd said that, the screen in front of them suddenly began counting down from 5, spurring Kiba and Mina to try and get into position and think of something. Kiba felt Mina's hand on the back of his head, and could see her giving him rabbit ears in the reflection. So naturally, he stuck out his tongue. Mina did the same.

Click!

Each pose seemed to get more ridiculous than the last: 

The second pose was of them both quickly forming the 'V for Victory' sign with their respective pointer and middle fingers; both wearing smiles tha was big and joyous. Though Mina still carried her plushie.

The third pose was of them doing duck faces with their eyes crossed and poking their cheeks.

The fourth pose had Mina suddenly scooted in couple of inches closer and brought her slender pink arms over his shoulders, pulling him into an especially close-knit hug, to the point that she was happily rubbing her cheek up against his own. The fact that she was giggling happily the entire time, even childishly saying "rub-rub" throughout as she did so. Not minding it, Kiba's face was adorned with a bright and humorous smile of his own as he pretended to try and fight back against her continuous cheek rubbing.

Click!

The sound once again got both teens' attention, and with it came the realization that they now had one final photo to go.

"Okay, okay, last one. Let's just try and do regular smiles this time!" Mina proposed, but Kiba was still trying to get out the last of his laughter, unable to meet her in kind; although the fact it was from laughter of his own enjoyment made it all okay with her.

The countdown finally began, with only five seconds until their last picture would be taken. They sat straight shoulder-to-shoulder, looking straight into the camera with the most genuinely happy smiles on their faces. As she mentally counted down the seconds, Mina could feel her chest growing warmer with joy at the smile of genuine enjoyment and happiness on Kiba's face.

She chanced another glance to the screen and saw they now had only one second left. At that moment, an instantaneous idea sparked in her head, one that dominated every last bit of her with total impulse.

As Kiba mentally counted down from the final second, he suddenly felt the soft warmth of Mina's index finger and thumb gently hold onto his jawline, only tilting his head ever slightly in her direction to the left. And before he could even open his mouth to ask what she was doing—

Chyuu!

Out of the corner of his eye he saw her fluffy pink hair lean in towards him, right before he suddenly felt a sensation of indescribably nice warmth, softness, and only the slightest sensation of wetness, gently press against his cheek; sending an immediate electrical-like sensation up and down his entire body. When he saw the reflection in the screen in the last moment before the camera shutter clicked, he saw something that made his heart momentarily stop, and nearly ignite his face from the inside out with flustered heat:

Mina Ashido, while still holding his chin in her fingers, was leaning in and, still having a warm and affectionate smile on her blushing pink face, was pressing her lips against his cheek, giving Kiba Mason his first ever honest kiss.

Click!

The instant the sound had been heard, Mina broke the kiss with the sweetest giggle he'd heard from her yet, and was already eagerly stepping out of the booth, while Kiba remained stone still where he sat; his entire face as red as a beet, while he brought a hand up to his cheek. Seconds later, Mina had to practically pull him out by his free hand; else he would have stayed there all night.

Still holding his hand once he was out, Mina looked excitedly as two five-panel strips of their photos was quickly printed out, which she snatched up with exceptional anticipation before looking over all their pictures with a warm smile of pure satisfaction. "Oh, Kibi...Keepers, every last one of them!"

With that resonating declaration, she began to head for the exit like before, but now Kiba had finally managed to shake off the shell shock; just enough to finally formulate words. "Right, sure. Ahem...so what was that about?"

Mina almost wanted to laugh that he would actually be asking such a thing after all this time. "I don't know. Maybe I just couldn't help myself, since you're just so cute. Or maybe that was me finally paying you back for today. Whichever answer feels more appropriate to you; maybe that's the reason." 

"Oh." Kiba uttered as he rubbed his head. "Well, I'm not complaining or anything."

"Hehe, good to know."


Not long after that, the duo got on another train back and were soon standing outside of the station.  "Hey, Mimi? It'actually getting pretty dark. I could at least still walk you there if you want."

"Aww, that's really sweet of you, Kibi, but that's okay. My place isn't even three blocks away, I could easily jog that. Besides, I'm a tough girl, you know?" 

"Fair enough." 

Before he could start to walk off, however, Mina suddenly closed the distance and met him with one last warm, affectionate hug. "Thank you for today. I really did have a fantastic day. Wanna do this again sometime?"

Kiba was surprised at first, but then smiled and held Mina close in return, which expressed all the likewise gratitude he felt for today that she wanted to hear. "Sure thing!"

As they pulled apart, Mina left her free hand on Kiba's shoulder before she leaned forward and kissed him on the cheek again.

"Night," she said, giving him a flirtatious wink as she left, releasing his shoulder before she spun around and headed home with her teddy bear and her own copy of the photos.

As he watched her leave, Kiba stood there for a few long moments, a huge grin grew on his face. With that, he made his own way home as he pocketed his own photo strip but the smile never left his face the whole time.

Chapter Text

 

 Cyrus Hado was never a popular kid, quite the opposite

 Cyrus Hado was never a popular kid, quite the opposite. Like many others in the world, he was born Quirkless.

But as if to make up for that, he was born with a high-level IQ of 300, meaning that he was considered a genius.

Because of that, he was always bullied continuously, which made him close off people and keep to himself, but he eventually accepted that he was the outcast, the black sheep to everyone, even the adults.

But it was at home where he truly felt worse. 

Cyrus was born into the Hado family, which at the time, was a very warm and loving family. He was also very close to his older twin sister, Nejire Hado, who had a very curious and inquisitive personality, but was still loving nonetheless.

However, unlike him, she was born with a powerful and versatile Quirk that was considered hero-worthy. Because of this, Cyrus grew up as a mere shadow of his sister as his parents merely thought of him as a pest and never showed support or appreciated him for anything he accomplished, including his smarts.

By now, the boy was getting sick of it and he decided to try once more before giving up.


"MOM! MOM! MOM! DAD! DAD! DAD!" Cyrus yelled, running into their house in a frenzy, his words eventually blurred together as he bounced on the balls of his feet, excited and unable to contain it.

His parents merely rolled their eyes and nodded for him to go ahead. Nejire, though, was surprised to hear her brother's excited tone.

"Hey, hey! What's going on, Twinsie?" She asked, rushing over to him. "Did you win first place in a science fair! Then again, considering how smart you are, I wouldn't be surprised! Your brain is like a supercomputer, but there isn't a keyboard to type on. I wonder...is my brain a computer? Is everyone's brains computers? Interesting...!"

Cyrus blinked at his sister's words for a moment. "Well, no. I didn't win a science fair...but I did find something very close!"  He replied, speaking a little slower, but his excitement was too great to stand still properly. "Dad, Mom! I-Island is having a convention next month here in Musutafu, and they're having a science fair for all students! Qualifiers are the day before, and the actual fair is the day of, and I just found out, but I've got a bunch of ideas and need either of your permissions to enter."

"I'm sorry, but you can't go." He told his son, who stopped and looked at his dad.

"Wha- bu- You're always telling me to do something with my smarts. This might be the best chance I have. Dad, they're giving away scholarships to some of the best schools in the country." Cyrus told him, trying to convince him, because he needed this.

"I said no." His father told him sternly as the young boy just stood there for a moment, unsure of what was happening.

He then pulled a flyer out of his backpack, showing it to his dad. "B-But, it doesn't cost a thing! And I just want to prove there's more to me than just being smart!"

"YOUR FATHER TOLD YOU NO!" His mom suddenly yelled, startling him and Nejire. "NOW, GO TO YOUR ROOM AND STAY THERE UNTIL DINNER, UNDERSTOOD!?'' 

Cyrus looked shocked and hurt by his mom's words as a build of anger flowed through him.

''I HATE YOU BOTH! I WISH YOU WEREN'T MY PARENTS!'' He screamed, making both of them gain shocked faces for what Cyrus just said.

He then ran away towards his room, as Nejire watched him go in surprise. She wanted to talk to her brother, but couldn't find the words to say so she merely stayed quiet.


No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get the tears to stop. He couldn't even get to sleep as he had been wide awake. He tried over and over again, but he couldn't stop them. They just kept coming and coming.

He didn't even realize that the door to his room had slid open as a soft voice came through.

"Twinsie?" 

Of course, it had been his twin--

"Nejire..." He managed to choke out. 

"Are..." His sister said with worry, "... you okay?"

Cyrus stayed silence as he weeped; though she was a child, she had been quick to put it together. Nejire stepped over to her brother, as she sat by his side on the bed before she gave him a hug.

"There, there," Nejire said as she gave him a pat on the head, "There, there. It's alright. I'm here. Don't be sad." 

"I don't get it, Sis. I know Mom and Dad always tell me to do something with my smarts, but ever since they learned that I'm Quirkless, they've done nothing but support you and treat you as the favorite child while I get nothing but neglect."

Nejire's expression softened at this. She wasn't blind by the way he was treated,  ostracized so often for being Quirkless. Even when she talked to her parents, they just brushed it off. Though unlike them, she could tell how smart her brother was. 

"I'm sorry, Twinsie." Nejire cooed, until something came to her head. "But you do have a dream, right...?" She asked him. Cyrus looked up to her, as he saw her give him a warm smile.

"I do." Cyrus sniffed as he wiped his nose. "Even if I don't have a Quirk, I still want to build something that could help heroes. That's why I wanted to go to the convention."

"... Then you should do it!" Nejire said as she gave him a hug. "If Mommy and Daddy won't cheer you on, I'll do it with all my might!"

"Nejire..." Cyrus said before he smiled a little. "Thanks."

"Anytime!"

Despite not going to the convention, Cyrus was happy to know that his sister was in his corner. But it won't stay like this for him much longer; soon his life would start to change...


Present Day - 

Sitting in the train alone, Cyrus Hado waited until he got to his next stop. Today would be the day of his meeting with the Yaoyorozus, and it was also a chance to see where said family lived. He couldn't help but feel slightly curious about what kind of house she lived in, though he imagined it would look rather lovely.

After a few more minutes of sitting in silence, the train finally pulled into the next station, and the Blue Ranger got off, though his next task would be getting to her house.

But then, he remembered that Momo gave him her phone number in class yesterday before they left school and texted her address to him. With that info, he continued on his way.

Soon, he stopped in the middle of a large, gated doorway.

"Is this the place?" Cyrus double-checked the map on his phone to make sure he was correct.  "Yea, this is the place. Looks like an embassy or something."

The gate began to open with a smoothness befitting its magnificent design slowly.

"Mr. Hado, I presume?" Standing behind the gate was a shortly built man with delicate facial features and delicate attire. Though an elderly man, his posture gave the presence of a much younger and energetic youth, eager to serve the guests however he could.

"Welcome. I am Uchimura, the Yaoyorozu household's butler. Miss Momo has been waiting for your visit, so please come in."

"T-Thanks," the blunette replied as he awkwardly followed behind the butler. He took in the breathtaking scenery before them, walking through a stunning and manicured garden the size of a small forest. Honestly, the mansion wasn't enough to describe this place. It was like a castle, the same as in Europe's most ancient and lavished parts. "Wow."

"Welcome." They reached the mansion's entrance, met with a group of maids. The Blue Ranger was too stunned to speak when a woman who looked like the mirror image of Momo as an adult came from deep within the house.

"Hello there! I'm Mrs. Yaoyorozu. How wonderful to meet one of my Momo's new friends..." The mother observed the blue-haired teenager. "You're Hado! I recognize you from the Sports Festival, but mostly from the news as one of those 'Power Rangers'! My Momo's told me everything about you and your group."

"Oh, I-I see..." Cyrus felt a tinge of red flare up on his cheeks. Yaoyorozu's mother was giving off such a pleasant and warm aura while speaking so highly of him. "Well... it's very nice to meet you, ma'am." Cyrus replied with a bow before continuing. "And please forgive me for asking you this, but what did your daughter say about me and my friends?"

Mrs. Yaoyorozu hummed in thought. "Well, she has been telling me great things about you and your friends, especially the fact that you are these mysterious vigilantes, the Power Rangers, was it?" 

 "Yes, ma'am." 

 "She also said that you are the most intelligent boy she's ever met. And that you are kind and humble, wonderful qualities that I might add. But the most interesting to me was that she informed us about your acceptance to establish a partnership with us."

"Yes ma'am." Cyrus fixed up his glasses. "Sometime before the festival, Momo expressed her interest in our abilities and technology, saying you would immediately support our team despite us being Quirkless."

"Ahh, I see." The woman nodded her head. "I must say I've never heard of any Quirkless Pros, so you could imagine my surprise when my Momo told me and my husband about this. Either way, I'm just so pleased that Momo's made so many friends! She's making preparations for you in the auditorium."

"Shall I...?" began Uchimaru.

"No, allow me," answered Mrs. Yaoyorozu, motioning the bluenette into the inner corridors. He followed behind her more relaxedly, but he was still in awe at the floral wallpaper, marble floor, and beautiful paintings that ordained the walls.

"The rich really do live in a different world," Cyrus muttered.

The walk to the auditorium was surprisingly short, and upon entering the room, they could see why it was called an auditorium. The vast space had a light red carpet and contrasting yellow curtains with a floral pattern. In the center of the room was a very long table with more than two dozen chairs and a chandelier hanging several feet above them. A few feet from the table was a giant whiteboard with several black markers.

"Go on, take a seat." The Blue Ranger did as requested, and sat near the closest end of the table.

"You wait there, and I'll get Momo and my husband. I'll be quick!" The gentle mother exited the room with a slight brisk in her steps, leaving the Hado boy sitting silently, basking in the surroundings.

"Man, I couldn't feel any more out of place right now," Cyrus remarked, breaking the silence.

 Then, he heard a cart rolling down the hallway. He turned to find Momo pushing a cart that held multiple tea cups and pastries for him to enjoy. He could feel the same gentle, delightful aura emanating from the girl he'd felt from her mother, which put all of him at ease.

"Ah, Cyrus!"

"H-Hey." The Blue Ranger responded, somewhat tongue-tied by the girl's appearance.

"I'm sorry I couldn't meet you at the front, I was busy getting everything ready. Here, let me pour some tea for you." Momo placed the cup out for her friend and poured the tea out for him, the steam and fragrance rising into the air. Being the polite gentleman, Cyrus blew on the tea, took the first sip, and found the drink a more delectable refreshment.

"Mmm, this tea is very delicious!" Cyrus complimented as he set the cup down.

The dark-haired beauty smiled at that. "Thank you, Cyrus. I'm glad that you like it."

The Hado boy blushed at the beautiful sight of her smiling when they heard footsteps approaching the room. The duo turned to see Mrs. Yaoyorozu and a man, who somewhat resembled Momo.

"Ahh, so this must be the famous Cyrus Hado I've heard about." He spoke in slighty deep tone.

"That, he is." Mrs. Yaoyorozu smiled before looking at Cyrus. "This is my husband."

"Oh. Pleased to meet you, sir." Cyrus greeted as he stood up with a low bow.

"Please, no need for that. Still, it appears that my daughter was right about you."

"Huh?" Cyrus uttered in confusion. 

 "F-Father!" Momo yelled out with an embarrassed blush on her face.

Mr. Yaoyorozu merely chuckled at his daugther's reaction before addressing the main topic. "Now then, I believe we have interesting matter to discuss..."

"Right, sir."

The Yaoyorozu family all took a seat at the table with their own cups of tea and pastries.

"So, from what Momo has told me and what I've see from the news, you and 4 others- who are your friends-  are Quirkless and have formed a unique hero team that had taken the world by storm known as, 'Power Rangers'."

"Yes, sir." Cyrus confirmed. "Power Rangers: Hero Force."

"And I assume that it has something to do with that device on your wrist?" Mrs. Yaoyorozu questioned, gesturing to the bluenette's Morpher.

"Yes." The Blue Ranger then held up his Morpher-clad arm. "This is my Hero Morpher. It allows me and my friends to 'morph' into Power Rangers."

"I see..." Mr. Yaoyorozu hummed, rubbing his beard. "Could you show us?"

Cyrus blinked as he realized what the man meant.

"You mean my Ranger outfit? You want to see that?" He asked.

"Indeed." Mr. Yaoyorozu nodded to him in response.

Cyrus looked at Momo as she nodded. "Sure, just let me get ready," He said standing up from his chair.

All eyes were set on Cyrus as he took a deep breath and mentally prepared himself. 'Okay.'

"It's Morphin Time," Cyrus said normally, unlike all the other times he yelled it out loud with his team. He raised his left wrist by his head and pressed the red Morph button, causing his Hero Morpher to glow blue. He then thrust his left arm out. "Call of the Hero!" He shouted as he pulled his left arm back and used his right hand to spin the Morpher's top half at the same time.

Soon, a blue light of energy engulfed him as it overtook the room. When the light died down, it revealed Cyrus as the Blue Hero Force Ranger.

Seeing this made the Yaoyorozu parents eyes widen in amazement as this outfit suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Momo merely marveled at the sight, still getting use to it.

"My goodness!" Mrs. Yaoyorozu gasped in awe at the sight. "I know that I have seen that outfit on the news before, but I never thought that I would actually see it in person."

Her husband stood up from his chair and strode out from behind his desk, walking over to Cyrus to better take in his appearance. "Extraordinary..." He made one round trip around the Blue Ranger before stopping. "And what exactly does wearing this suit provide?"

"A variety of things, actually." Cyrus answered as he took off his helmet. "Specifically, they offer increased strength, agility, durability, and resistance to injury of any kind. The suits also enhance the Rangers' reflexes and senses, and grant them knowledge of their powers, including Zord and weapon control."

"Zord?" The parents asked.

"The giant robot animals from the USJ." Momo joined in. "Cyrus and his team are able to pilot them and combine them into one."

"Ahh!" Mrs. Yaoyorozu recalled.  "When I first saw those machines, I was blown away by them. And to think that you all were controlling them..."

That was when Mr. Yaoyorozu blinked at something. "Hold on. During the final matches of the Sports Festival, that Ukashi boy was using two suits than yours. Why is that?"

"Oh. That was Legendary Ranger Mode," Cyrus said to him.

"Legendary Ranger Mode?" 

"By using special keys, we can switch into different Ranger forms that gives us different weapons and abilities." Cyrus explained as Momo wrote down the information in her notebook.

'I see, so all those suits changes were "Legendary".' She thought.

"And how many of these suits do you have exactly?" Mrs. Yaoyorozu asked.

"About...27." Cyrus replied, which yet again shocked the higher-class family.

"2-27?" Momo uttered with a gasp. "That would make each of you like a one-man army."

"Something like that." Cyrus nodded in agreement.

Momo's parents stared at the Blue Ranger with blank expressions before her mother looked at her daughter. "You've...made some interesting friends, Momo."

"That I have, mother."

"Though, I am curious about something." Mr. Yaoyorozu chimed in. "What exactly did you mean by 'Legendary'?"

"Well, there have been other Power Rangers before us," Cyrus said to them.

"Yeah, I think Ukashi said something like that on our way to the USJ." Momo said, perking up.

"Wait, are you saying there are more Power Rangers out there besides you guys?" Mrs.  Yaoyorozu asked in surprise.

"Yes, in fact, our team is actually the current generation of Power Rangers." Cyrus said to the rich woman. "And when our time is up, a new team of Rangers will take our place to carry on the legacy." 

The family was incredibly amazed by what they heard. They are a part of a team of past heroes.

"So, you're carrying the legacy of previous heroes." Mr. Yaoyorozu was impressed. "That's respectable."

"It truly is noble that you are honoring the memory of heroes from the past," His wife said being even more impressed by Cyrus.

"Thank you." Cyrus said as he placed his helmet back on and demorphed, shocking the parents again. "Oh, and before I forget, there's something that I wanted to show you."

He then pulled out his phone and showed them the screen as a Power Ranger Thunderbolt flashed on it. "First, I wanted to show you something I've created. I call it the 'Ranger Danger App'."

Momo had a surprised look on her face "You created an app?"

"Yeah, took me a while. But now, it's all set!"

"And how would this app of yours work?" Mr. Yaoyorozu asked.

"Well, to put it simply, it's a phone app that allows people to inform my team and I of any situation that they think is too much for the Pros to handle or if there're no Pros in the area that are available, much like the attacks from a year ago."

Mr. Yaoyorozu took the phone and looked over the app. "Interesting." He said before looking at Cyrus. "And I assume that this relates to everything you've told us and our partnership?"

"Indeed. I believe that with your help, along with U.A, we can promote this app across Japan for everyone to use. This way, we'll know where the really dangerous villains are at all times and prevent them."

"Incredible!" Mrs. Yaoyorozu commented with a smile. "This is truly a remarkable engineering feat! And you designed this all by yourself?" She looked towards Cyrus, with an impressed and awed smile.

"That's right."  Cyrus confirmed with pride. "I was even able to utilize a strong firewall so that it can't be hacked or corrupted in anyway."

"Is that so?" the woman said with an impressed laugh. "Young man, you are truly something else!"

"Hehe." Cyrus smiled.

'That he is, mother.' Momo mentally agreed as she couldn't help but look at Cyrus with a small smile and a slight blush on her face.

"I can think of a number of people who could put this app to good use. Myself included." Mr. Yaoyorozu said as he gave Cyrus his phone back. "To think that you created something like this by yourself. That speaks volumes for your mind. With some development, this could be revolutionary."

"D-Do you really think so?" Cyrus questioned in surprise.

"I do." The man stated, then extended his hand. "My family and I would be honored to support you and your team." 

Cyrus glanced down at the hand for a single moment, and looked at Momo, who met his gaze. She looked at him with hopeful eyes. 

And that was all Cyrus needed before he looked back at Mr. Yaoyorozu.

"Thank you, sir." He nodded, and took the man's hand, giving it a shake.

Watching them, Mrs. Yaoyorozu leaned over to her daughter. "I like him." She whispered slyly.

Momo's face burned up at her mom's implication. "M-Mother!"

Mrs. Yaoyorozu giggled in her hand before she clasped her hands. "With that out of the way, would you be interested in staying over for a while?"

The Hado boy looked at Mrs. Yaoyorozu in surprise. "Are you sure? I mean, I don't want my presence to be a burden to you and your husband."

The woman merely waved off his concerns. "Not at all, dear. You're more than welcome to stay over for as long as you want." She then turned her gaze to her daughter. "Momo, darling. Do you mind giving Cyrus here a tour of our humble home?"

Momo blushed a little at the request, but she quickly shook it off. "Oh, not at all, Mother." She then stood up from her seat and turned to Cyrus. "If you would be so kind as to follow me so we can begin the tour."

The Blue Ranger felt his body freeze up: he hadn't expected this at all! At the same time, it felt rude to deny her request, so with a momentary difficulty, Cyrus gave her an answer.

"S-S-Sure thing."

 The duo proceeded to stand up from their seats and moved to the door. Once they were out of sight, Momo's parents conversed with one another.

"What a pleasant boy." Mrs. Yaoyorozu commented. "Wouldn't you agree?"

"Brilliance at a young age is not always accepted by society." Her husband replied. "Still, I believe this could be a great investment."

"Oh yes, I could definitely see it being successful. Though, I am so glad that our daughter met someone like Young Hado." 

 Mr. Yaoyorozu looked back at where said pair walked off. "I am, too. And I can see why she has taken quite a liking to him."


"So... this house is pretty big."

Cyrus and Momo walked through the luxurious mansion. Since it was still daylight, many of the maids and butlers had greeted them as they passed, leaving the two of them to wander through the labyrinth of corridors by themselves.

"Yes, it is rather grandiose. It took quite a while for me to get the house structure paved into my mind; I even got lost when they ventured through the house." The first stop they came to was a kitchen that may as well have belonged to a restaurant.

"Here's the main kitchen, where the maids cooked the pastries and sweets for us this week." After that, the two of them took some more time walking through the mansion until they got to the next room.

"Here's the swimming pool, where I'll sometimes do laps as part of my physical training." The Blue Ranger was in awe at the size of the pool, several dozen meters in length and several meters in width. "Nearby, we also have a sauna where you can relax and a very nice hot tub to relax in after finishing your laps in the pool. And as you can see through those windows the door leading into that room is our game room, where we have a pool table, ping-pong table, darts, and other games. My father and I will sometimes play pool and ping-pong, and while I can accurately calculate the angles for pool, I'm still rather mediocre when it comes to ping-pong."

After having seen those areas, Cyrus and Momo went up a flight of stairs, and the next room they came across was a similarly large room filled with a huge, fancy bed with four posts on each corner of the bed, allowing curtains to be hung up in case Momo ever wanted to keep the light out. Along the walls were extended shelves stacked with hundreds of thick books and encyclopedias. Cyrus looked to his right and felt his mouth slightly gape open when he saw her closet, which was almost the size of his room.

"My Quirk isn't very easy to use. It takes a deep understanding of the object's molecular structure and atomic composition, so I had to read many of these books to learn many of the items I needed to create. As a result, most of my youth was spent working on mastering my quirk. The first object I successfully made was a Russian matryoshka doll, even though it took many tries and much studying."

Though impressed by her intellect, he took something else from it, and something he took wandering through her house in general. "Training your power as a kid, living in such a big house... did you ever feel lonely?"

Momo went slightly stiff, revealing slightly upturned lips contrasted with a slightly dimmed light in her eyes. "I have to admit; there were several times when loneliness lingered in my heart. The time and effort I put into training never gave me too many chances to interact with other people my age or understand how best to make friends..." Suddenly, the light dimness in her eyes disappeared, and the corners of her mouth extended even more.

"Which is exactly why I'm delighted to have had the chance to make new friends at U.A. High."

What chance was there that two people with such different backgrounds, strengths, and weaknesses could share the same desire for friendship, and the same feeling of loneliness? But, for Cyrus, just knowing that they had these things in common created a more profound sense of empathy for her, and it somehow allowed whatever tension he had before to loosen up.

"Come on; I have to show you my favorite part of the house!" So the two of them went through the house with a much faster and much livelier skip in their step than a few seconds ago.


Not long after that, the duo had reached the backyard where they came across a garden.

"I only saw part of the garden when I was walking to your front door, but I never knew it was amazing..." Cyrus muttered.

Momo's face brightened like a bulb. "Yes, my mother and I planted many of the flowers you see here. Tulips, orchids, roses, dahlias, lotus flowers; we'd do our best to fill our garden with such a large variety of flowers." The young girl took a few paces towards a bushel of large flowers with a double bloom, pink and white petals contrasted with a yellow center. "These asters are my favorite."

The young girl took a few steps up the hill and relaxed her body to look up at the clear blue sky, with the Blue Ranger following her lead. "My mother and father often come to rest  in this spot. They would usually gaze up at the sky in silence."

"I can see why they would do that. It's just so beautiful..." The blunette gazed around; the scenery made the experience all the more enjoyable. He looked up at the sun, glistening with a bright golden light that reflected amazingly onto the pond.

The Blue Ranger soon noticed a lone flower nearby that was yet to bloom. Deciding to help it, he lifted his hand, and using his Ranger powers, showered the flower in droplets of water. Yaoyorozu's onyx eyes gleamed in awe, her mouth opening with a child-like fascination.

"Cyrus, that was amazing!" she said. The blue-haired boy was delighted to see it had brought that kind of reaction to his friend. After that, the two continued to sit in silence, admiring the lush scenery and the sounds of nature surrounding both of them. After about thirty seconds of silence, Momo decided to express the most prevalent thoughts in her mind.

"You really are incredible." The young girl beamed with a sigh as she looked out at the garden. "Everyday, it appears that I learn more and more about you. I knew you were smart, but to create such an amazing app on your own is nothing short of outstanding. Even my parents were impressed by you."

Cyrus looked at her in surprise before giving her a smile. "Thanks, Momo. I'm just glad to hear that." He then turned his head away from his friend as his face fell with a sigh before muttering, "I just wish everyone else had the same thought as you and your parents."

"What do you mean?" Momo asked, confused by the boy's words.

"Out of everyone in my family, I was the only one born with a high IQ." He explained. "Most people thought it was weird. I got bullied and picked on all the time for that. It didn't matter how smart I was, if anything it made it worse. Everyone thought I was a smart aleck who thought I was better than them."

Momo let out a light gasp at that as she didn't know that Cyrus was actually bullied for being a genius. "And what about your family?" She couldn't help but ask. "Surely they know that your intellect is impressive."

"Well..." Cyrus opened his mouth to speak, then let out a heavy sigh. "My parents were more of the appearance type than the understanding type. As you know, I was born Quirkless, though my sister wasn't. Because of that, my parents always favored her over me since then. But I don't harbor any ill will towards her. She's always been on my side." He explained before continuing. "Fortunately, my life got surprisingly better when Sora and the others came into it."


"Look, Hado's studying by himself again-as usual!"

"He's so stuck-up cause he gets good grades."

 "What do you expect? Despite being Quirkless, he's such a teacher's pet!"

Cyrus Hado walked up to a window and gazed out at the courtyard. He had been used to being bullied by other children at an early age. Bullies had been people who habitually seek to harm or intimidate those whom they perceive as vulnerable by calling them names and degrading them with insults or even getting physical with them. Cyrus came to be an easy target for bullies due to his brains, common sense, and the diligence to which he devoted a majority of his time to academics for it was important to him to always do his best at anything he set his mind to doing. His classmates- or rather his bullies- did not accept him for who he was, believed nothing in him, cared nothing for him, disliked him, and enjoyed calling him names and degrading him with insults due to the attention he got from how well he performed in school.

But then, he was knocked out of his thoughts by someone rudely bumping their elbow into his head, which threw the blunette off balance and sent his glasses clattering to the floor. Rubbing his head, Cyrus let out a groan before he looked up to see that it was a couple of snarky-looking boys standing over him.

"Oh, my bad, Poindexter. Your head's so big that it was hard to ignore." The 1st boy snidely remarked as one of his lackeys walked up behind him with an amused expression on his face.

"Oh hey, check it." Another boy spoke as he walked up, holding Cyrus' glasses in his hands. "Looks like Four-Eyes here dropped his glasses. Kinda like Velma!" The boy then started mockingly laughing at Cyrus.

"Ha! Good one!" The other boy said in agreement.

Cyrus looked between the three boys as they picked on him before he stood up from his spot.

"Yeah, real funny, guys. Just give them back." He spoke to him.

The 1st boy took the glasses from his lackey and waved them out front. "Aww, can't see without them? Too bad!"

He was about to crush the specs between his fingers, until someone snatched the glasses from the boy's hands faster than he could close his fist, as the four boys then turned to see it was Sora glaring heavily at the boys.

"Is there a reason why you jerks are trying to destroy his glasses?" Sora asked in a not-so-friendly manner while holding onto Cyrus' lenses. "I mean seriously, what is your problem?" He simply asked while giving them a cold glare.

"Oh, crap..." The first lackey said nervously to see was here.

"It's Ukashi." The second lackey said in a frightened tone.

Unlike Cyrus, Sora was the only quirkless person in school who they didn't make fun of because they knew he would fight back.

 The bully leader merely glared at the new boy then stepped forward. "Give me back those glasses." 

 Sora however didn't deter in the slightest. "You want them? Come and get them."

Growling, the bully leader ran in with a right hook reared up, but Sora saw it before the boy got the chance to throw it out and managed to grab his attacker's arm, and throw the boy over his back; making him land hard on his own back, flat onto the ground.

This made Cyrus and the bully's lackeys all gasp in shock at what Sora had done.

"If you're gonna throw a punch, at least be faster." Sora told the downed boy before looking at his lackeys. "And unless you two want the same treatment, take your friend and leave."

The lackeys fearfully took their leader and left without saying anything. 

Once they were gone, Sora approached Cyrus and help him up to his feet, "Are you okay?" 

"Y-Yeah, I'm fine now." the blunette uttered out. "Thanks for asking. Umm... why did you help me?" 

Sora shrugged his shoulders lightly as he handed the other boy back his glasses. "No reason. I just hate bullies." He simply replied while Cyrus placed his glasses back on.

"...That's, uh... That's it? I mean, there has to be more to it than that, right?" He questioned in a tone that was a mix of skepticism and curiousity.

"Do I really need a reason to help someone in need?"

Hearing that made the Hado boy pause as he looked at Sora with wide eyes. Though before any more could be said...

"There he is!"

"Yo, Cap!"

The sudden voices caused Cyrus to jump as Sora turned around to see Kiba and Ayumi running over. "Oh, hey guys!" He greeted them. "What's up?"

"You tell us." Kiba replied. "You just took off out of nowhere."

"Did something happen?" Ayumi asked him with a look of worry on her face.

Sora waved off their worries. "Nah, nothing like that. Just helping someone out." He replied, gesturing to Cyrus with his thumb.

Kiba tilted his head at the blunette. "Who's that?" He asked curiously.

 "Oh. My name's Cyrus Hado. It's nice to meet you all."  The specs-wearing boy repsonded.

Ayumi gasped as her eyes lit up. "Ahh, I know you! You're that really smart boy that's been brought up a lot!"

"Really? The 'Boy Genius'?" Kiba exclaimed with wide eyes.

"Huh." Sora hummed as he looked at Cyrus. "I thought you looked familiar."

As soon as they recognized him, Cyrus looked at the floor in fear and sadness as he couldn't help but think and feel that his savior and his two friends might begin bullying him for his smarts. "Y-Yeah, that's me. I'm... the 'Boy Genius'." He confessed.

What he didn't expect to hear was...

"That's pretty cool." Sora commented, causing the boy to look up.

"H-Huh?"

"He's right." Ayumi agreed with a nod. "It's amazing to meet someone our age that's incredibly smart."

Cyrus looked at everyone with wide eyes. "Really? It doesn't bother you all in the slightest?"

"Who cares if you have some supercomputer for a brain? You don't seem like the type to arrogantly point it out and that's cool in my book!" Kiba exclaimed, wrapping an arm around the stunned blunette. "Anyways, I'm Kiba! These are my friends, Sora and Ayumi."

"Hey." Sora nodded.

"Hi." Ayumi smiled. "So, we were on our way to have lunch. Wanna join us?"

This once again surprised Cyrus. "R-Really?

"Sure, why not?" Sora shrugged. "We've got plenty of room. The more, the merrier."

"So, what do you say, Einstein?" Kiba jokingly chimed in.

Seeing them all smile and nod, Cyrus felt a warmness inside. Most of his life, he was treated as an outcast. He was always alone with no one to call 'friend'. Yet, these three kids his age were willing to let him in their little circle without so much of a care. It was...overwhelming, to say the least.

"Um, sure. I'd like that."

"Welcome aboard!" Sora offered his hand to shake.

Seeing no harm, Cyrus grabbed the boy's hand and shook it. "Thanks."

"Awesome!" Kiba pumped his fist in joy. "On that note...do you think that you could maybe help me out with my math homework?"

"Kiba!" Ayumi lightly scolded as she smacked his arm.

"Kidding, I'm kidding!"

As he watched Sora laugh at the duo, Cyrus couldn't help but take in the scene. Maybe being around these guys wouldn't be so bad.

Flashback Ends


"...Soon after that, we became really close friends and the rest is history." Cyrus finished as he looked over at Momo. 

The dark-haired girl looked on with varying emotions running through her. Never did she think someone like Cyrus would have to go through things like that. "To think you were bullied just because of your gift. Atrocious."

"Yeah, but it wasn't all bad to be honest." Momo looked back at her friend. "Sora and the others coming into my life was one of the best changes in my life. Both Figuratively and literally."

He then felt a hand placed on his, courtesy of Momo. "Well, I'm glad that you've made friends that like you for who you are and what you're capable of, myself included." She said, her expression now being more gentle.

"Yeah. Thanks, Momo." Cyrus smiled at her. "And I'm glad that I have a friend that's smart, nice, and amazing like you in my life."

 For a split second, nothing else existed. The sky, the garden, and the noises of nature vanished as the two sat there on that hill, letting themselves be lost in the moment. But alas, that fraction of a moment was cut short. The young girl's eyes went down, and a light blush crept up on her cheeks. Cyrus wondered what exactly she was blushing at, but he figured it out when he looked down and saw his hand intertwined with hers. The light tinge of red on the dark-haired girl's cheeks was dwarfed by the pink color staining his entire face. He felt his heart was about to beat out of his chest. 

Cyrus bolted up from his seated spot and took several hurried steps back. "Well... I really appreciate you inviting me to your house and giving me a tour, as well as listening to my story, but I have to go now because I have some homework to do."

Momo quickly stood up as well and brushed off her clothes "O-Oh, yes. As do I. I hope we see each other again at school." 

 "Same here."

 With that, Cyrus then bolted to the front gate so he could head back home.

Momo stared off into the place the Blue Ranger disappeared before she picked up the sound of faint sniffles. She turned around and felt her entire body jerk back when she saw her mother coming from around the corner with comical tears in her eyes and a sniffling nose.

"Mother? You were there the whole time?"

"I'm sorry, Momo. I got curious and I couldn't help but listen to what you two were saying." The mother approached her daughter and looked to where Cyrus left. "I really like that boy. He has such an unbelievably sweet heart and a good head on his shoulders. If he ever wants to study with you or join us for dinner, try to bring him back here. Your father will definitely want to see him again. As will I."

"Right." The young girl stared at the hand that held Cyrus' and placed it over her heart. She was so lucky to have a friend like him.

To Be Continued...

Notes:

Finally done! Sorry again that's this took so long. Writing Cyrus' origins was a lot harder than I expected, but it got done in the end. And an partnership has been formed with Momo's parents as well! Now with that done, we can move on to Reina and get back into the main story.

Chapter Text

 

Little Reina stood all alone in the darkness, where kids her age would torment her, both mentally and physically

Little Reina stood all alone in the darkness, where kids her age would torment her, both mentally and physically. All because, like others, she was Quirkless. Powerless. No special ability at all.

They would throw so many insults at her when she wasn't looking. She even tried reaching out to an adult for help, as they were supposed to help people in need. But they merely pushed her hand away and turned a blind eye at the bullying.

 Why were those without powers treated so differently in society? Were they not the same species? Did they not share same color of blood?

Whatever the reason, Reina knew she was all alone as there was no one she could rely on but herself. Not even her sister could help her.

 Sometimes, when life hits you with a bad hand, you get right back up and fight back.


"What are you doing?" Reina glared at the three girls who stood in her way, and in their hands was her backpack. "That's my schoolbag. Give it back."

"Wrong." The leader of the girl bullies sneered, a cruel smirk plastered on her face. "You guys know Fukakado here...is actually Quirkless."

"I guess that means we're the ones who are supposed to support you since we got Quirks." The second girl snickered.

"So basically...Your bag, your books and your notes...They all belong to us, right?"

Reina's dark blue eyes narrowed slightly. "What are you talking about? Just give me my stuff back." She demanded, her temper growing by the second.

"By the way...Even though you're always wearing the same uniform." The third one steps forwards and grabs Reina by the arm roughly. "This is ours too."

"That's right!"

"You've been wearing our things without permission!"

The first girl smirked at this. "So, I'm gonna need you to strip it all off. If you do that, I'll give you your bag back." She spoke in an icy tone.

"Yeah! Yeah!" 

"Strip! Strip! Strip!"

Reina's head hung low as her bang covered her eyes, concealing her current expression as she tightly clenched her fist.

"You know what? Screw it."

Then, completely out of nowhere, Reina delivered a right punch to the third girl's face, knocking her onto the floor and causing her to release the greenette, making both the first and second girls gasp in shock at what Reina had just done before freezing in place when they saw the look on Reina's face.

She held such a cold look that it almost felt like she could freeze them with one glance.

"Let this be a lesson." Reina slowly strode forward toward the other two girls and snarled viciously at them. "Just because I don't have a Quirk, doesn't mean I'm some defenseless girl."

With that, she snatched her bag out of the first girl's hand and proceeded to roughly shove the duo down. "Come near me again, and you're gonna end up like your friend there."

"MS. FUKUKADO!"

Reina suddenly snapped back to her senses when she realized that a teacher just so happened to be standing in the hallway, and of course, he watched the whole thing.

"Aw, great..."


Later...

[Location: Principal's Office]

Reina now sat in front of the principal's desk as said man began to explain everything that had happened. He showed video footage of the altercation but the cameras were too old to record any audio; allegedly, so the videos were silent. He also reffered to comments from their classmates that witness the whole thing.

"So, as you can see, Reina started the altercation and will be severely punished for attacking another student." The principal spoke as he looked at the woman next to Reina, who turned out to be her older sister Emi Fukukado also known as Smile Hero: Ms. Joke.

"That's not true!" Reina barked, breaking the silence in the room.

"Pardon me, what did you just say?" The principal asked, looking externally agasp.

"I would have to agree, Mr. Principal . My sister isn't the type to start a fight unless she's being bullied." Emi said, her tone surprisingly firm. "If those girls are the one who angered her, then they should be punished."

"I'm sorry, but there is nothing to say otherwise. The video clearly shows Reina attacking first and..." The principal was trying to explain his reasoning till Reina cut in.

"Stop trying to wriggle your way out of it! The clip you showed us is obviously cut. It starts with me already angry! Plus you never brought up the fact they had my bag!" Reina sneered, her dark blue eyes narrowed.

"I... Um..." The Principal stammered, as Emi stood up.

"Were you incriminating my sister for something she didn't do!? Why would you do something like that, huh?!" Emi yelled as she clenched her hands tightly.

The Principal didn't know how to weasel himself out of this situation, but he felt himself get pulled forwards as his eyes met Emi.

"I do not believe this is the first time this school demonized her. Tell me, were all those calls I'd gotten about my sister causing problems and interrupting class true? "If not, then I want to know why you are so eager to throw my sister under the bus." Emi demanded as Reina watched on. 

The young girl just stayed on the sidelines, trying to think of a reason the Principal would discriminate her from the other students in his class. Was it her personality? Maybe his curly green hair, as she learned that people with mutant type quirks were very discriminate from, but then his eyes widen in realisation.

"It's...because I'm Quirkless, isn't it?" Reina spoke up and both the she and Emi watched the Principal's eyes widen in fear.

 "W-What?! T-That's completely ridiculous!" The man stuttered pathetically.

Emi's raged reached a new level, as she decided, 'fuck it', and dropped the principal on the ground.

"You monster. You disgust me. Why would you discriminate my sister because of something she cannot control?" She said, before grabbed Reina's arm and dragged her son out the office as she gave the man one last glare. "You can be sure I'll be reporting this."

As they walked away from the office, Reina figured that she should probably say something.

"Hey, um...thanks for-"

But unfortunately, before Reina could finish what she was trying to say, Emi stopped in her tracks and turned to look at her little sister with a glare.

"Just because I had your back in the principal's office doesn't mean I'm not mad at you for hitting another student." Emi stated firmly.

Reina knew her sister only makes that kind of face whenever she's in trouble. And boy, Reina knew she was indeed in big trouble. But still...

"All the other kids and teachers didn't do anything to help me, so what did you want me to do? Stand there and do nothing while they take my stuff and make me take off my school uniform?"

"Rei, that's not what-"

 "You know, maybe you're right. I should've just let those girls bully the hell out of me because if I didn't, I might become a villain!" Reina spat sarcastically.

"I wasn't saying that, I was just--" Emi stops before taking a deep breath as she starts to continue again. "I know... it's hard without them...and I'm so, so, so sorry, I wasn't there, but i'm here now. Sis, talk to me, you will always talk to me."

Hearing her sister mention who she's referring to caused Reina to lower her head in sadness as tears threatened to pour down from her eyes. Ever since that day, she's been teaching herself how to fight since her sister's been so busy with her job as a Pro Hero and a teacher.

With one last sniffle, she used her arm to wipe away the tears from her eyes and looked up at her sister. "Emi... Do you think you could... help train me so I don't want to lose anyone else that's important to me?" Reina asked her sister with hopeful eyes, hoping that she would say yes. 

Emi looked surprised by Reina's request, but smiled nonetheless as she placed a hand on her sister's head. "Sure." 


Present Day...

Reina was currently waiting at a park as she stretched her limbs. She was now dressed in a green tank top with a pair of black shorts, a pair of black wristbands on her forearms and a pair of sneakers.

"I wonder what's taking Red so long." She thought out loud as she looked around. "I hope he didn't back out at the last minute..."

Recalling her talk with Kirishima during the Sports Festival, they had agreed to meet up at the park so they could head to the Youth Center together.

"Yo Reina!" A familiar voice called out to her. "Over here!"

The greenette looked in the direction the voice calling to her came from and a smile came to her face when he saw d Kirishima running her way and was even waving.

He was wearing a dark red shirt that had a logo of the hero Crimson Riot on it. He also had a white head band with the kanji for manly on it, brown shorts, and sleek white and red shoes.

"Hey, Red." Reina greeted back as the redhead stopped in front of her. "I was just wondering where you where."

Kirishima rubbed his head sheepishly. "Yeah, sorry I'm late. I kinda got lost on the way."

"It's fine." Reina brushed him off before gesturing to the sidewalk. "So, ready to go?"

Kirishima responded by giving her a toothy grin as he gave her a thumbs up. "You bet!"


"Oh, wow!"

"Pretty cool, huh?" Reina said as they both entered the Youth Center and immediately saw many people moving around, chatting, and more.

"Hey, Reina." The duo turned to the front desk and saw Maddie looking at them and smiling.

"Hey Mads." She greeted back as the woman then took notice of Kirishima.

"And you must be Kirishima, one of the students from Class 1-A that took part in the Sports Festival."

"Uh, yeah. That's me." The red head greeted politely. "Nice to meet you."

"He's a friend." Reina told her. "Red, this is Maddie. She owns this place. It's where me and others usually hang out."

"Right on."

 Maddie then tilted her head. "Speaking of, where are the others? Are they not with you?"

"Nah, we all had our own things going on today." Reina replied.

"Ahh, okay." The woman nodded in understanding. "Well, you two enjoy yourselves. If you need anything, let me know."

With that, she walked away to assist someone, leaving the pair standing there.

"She was nice." Kirishima commented.

"For sure." Reina agreed. "It's because of her that this place became our usual hangout spot. But anyway, are you ready for some training, Red?"

 Kirishima gave her a nod in response. "I was born ready."

The duo soon made their way over to the blue mats, which appeared vacant at the moment. There, they began doing some stretching with Reina rolling her neck and and loosening her leg joints while Kirishima rolled her arms in preparation.

"So...what exactly are we gonna do first?" The red head questioned.

"Well, from what I've seen, your Quirk protects you from some attacks until you're exhausted and it also makes your attacks hit twice as hard." Reina replied, standing straight. "So today, we're gonna see how hard you can punch without using your Quirk. And maybe I'll show you some moves that I know. Does that sound good to you, Red?" 

"Okay. I guess that works fine. No Quirks?"

"No Quirks. Or me using my Ranger powers." Reina replied, hopping up and down before getting into a fighting stance, her hands raised and her feet parted. "Ready?"

"Yeah," Kirishima nodded, going into his own fighting position. "Bring it."

With a nod, and without waiting for him to give the go ahead, Reina leapt forward at once, raising her leg in a bicycle kick and bringing it down hard on Eijiro's head. He blocked it with his good arm, throwing her off balance, and aimed his own kick at her head as she stumbled. She luckily ducked underneath it, and brought her other arm over to punch Eijiro directly in the side. The boy let out a small wheeze as he backed up - holy fuck, could she hit hard - but Reina let out a small yell as she didn't give up on the assault, stepping forward and starting to hit him in the back and chest, kicking out and hitting him in the side of his knee.

Eijiro luckily recovered from the initial hit in the side, and kicked out at Reina, catching her straight in the stomach. The greenette gasped out in pain, backing up and wheezing while Eijiro looked at her in shock and in worry because of what he just did. 

 "Oh, crap! Are you okay, Reina?!" Kirishima frantically asked his friend/training partner. "I'm so sorry! I-I didn't mean to-"

As Kirishima reached out to her, Reina grabbed his arm and before he had time to blink, he was quickly judo flipped over her shoulder, his back hitting the ground hard and making him lose his breath. Reina was quick to throw a leg around him, straddling him on the mat.

"First rule in a fight: Never let your guard down." She advised, raising her fists and bringing them down on the Harden Quirk user.

Though, Eijiro quickly blocked her fists with his arms, feeling the power behind them. He grabbed her shoulders and threw her down to the ground now, making him straddle her. He hit her in the cheek, keeping his free hand pinning her hand down so she couldn't block it. Reina grabbed the side of his face and slammed it down to hit the mat, spinning them around so that she could be on top of him again, letting out a few grunts as she pummeled him.

Eijiro then catch Reina's fists with his hands before kneeing her in the stomach, causing Reina to back off of him before the redhead uses the same leg to kick her away as he uses the chance to get back up. 

"Jeez. You sure aren't messing around, huh?" He commented, rubbing his cheek.

Reina wiped her mouth with her arm. "Second rule in a fight: Don't ever underestimate your opponent. Cause you never know what tricks they might have up their sleeves." 

 "You could say that again." the redhead agreed. "I mean, you're a lot tougher than you look."

"Well, that's what happens when you grow up with an older sister who's a Pro." Reina snorted as she stood back up to her feet.

"Oh yeah. You did mention that when Iida told us about his family." Eijiro said in remembrance.

"Bingo. Despite her...one of a kind fighting style and personality, she basically taught me everything in fighting. Though, I was mostly self-taught."

"When I was growing up, I always got into more fights than I could count and she'd always follow and drag me back when I would sometimes bite off more than I could chew, which happened a lot."

"What about your parents?" Eijiro wondered, curious about why the the greenette mainly talked about her sibling.

"No... they died when I was a kid." Reina answered, much to the redhead's shock.

"O-Oh crap! I'm sorry, I didn't know..."

"It's cool." Reina assured him. "I was really young when it happened; I don't even remember their faces. Em took care of me growing up, she's pretty much the only family I got. But I ain't lonely if that's what you're thinking."

"Right, cause you got Ukashi and the rest of your crew." Eijiro said before a thought came to his mind. "Speaking of, how did you meet those guys anyway?"

This took Reina by surprise a bit as it was a sudden question, until a fond expression grew on her face. "Well, funny story actually..." 


"I heard she broke the popular girl's bones in a fight." 

 "Again? Why hasn't she been kicked out?"

 "Apparently, her sister is a Pro Hero!"

 "And yet she acts like a villain!? I never wanna go near a violent girl like her!"

That was all Reina heard as she sat by herself for lunch. After the conference with that disgusting principal, Emi had her transferred to another school, hopefully where things were different. However, word got out about Reina being Quirkless and why she was transferred, leading to many rumors to spread that she was a delinquent and a lot of students avoiding her like the plague.

Not that Reina cared about what they thought.

She's made a lot of mistakes because of her temper problem, but she wasn't ashamed of what she did. Those girls needed to be kicked off their high horse. However, even though she had a reason, she was discouraged at the realization that she and her sister had to move, all because she couldn't keep control of her emotions. Reina never meant to cause too much trouble, not just because a teacher would take the sides of those with Quirks, but because she felt as though she was letting her family down with all her fighting.

"Tsk. Forget them..." She muttered bitterly to herself.

"Hi there~!"

"Ah!" Reina jumped in surprise at the sudden greeting as she snapped her head around to see the sudden newcomer. It turned out to be a girl with blonde hair and purple eyes as she looked at the greenette with a sheepish smile.

"Oh, sorry. Did I scare you?" The girl asked, rubbing her head.

After seeing the blonde apologize, Reina slightly lowered her guard. "Not really. And you are?"

"Oh, I'm Ayumi Suzuni!" The girl replied brightly. "And I take it that you're the new student?"

"Yeah." The green-haired girl introduced herself. "Fukukado. Reina Fukukado."

"Fukukado..." Ayumi repeated, as if testing the name out before smiling. "I like it! I think it's a great name!"

"Oh, uh...thanks?" Reina said, awkwardly. "So, do you need something?"

"Oh, right." Ayumi cleared her throat before continuing. "You see, the reason why I came over here is because I wanted to know if you'd like to eat lunch with me and my friends."

"Huh?" Reina blinked at this. She was inviting her to eat lunch? 

"Well, I saw you eating by yourself and I figured you could use some company."

As Reina looked at her in confusion and in surprise, she looked around and saw the other students looking at them, whispering to themselves and gossiping. Seeing this, she turned back forward and looked down.

"You should just stay away from me...For you own good." Reina told the girl.

Ayumi just looked at Reina in confusion. "Hmm? What do you mean?"

The greenette merely gestured around. "You know I'm new around here, right? Then I'm sure that you've heard about me...being Quirkless... and why I was transferred. If you keep talking to me, they're gonna look down on you too."

The blonde girl merely stared at Reina, her face giving nothing away. She heard rumors about the new girl in front of her, mostly about how she got into a fight and was removed from her old school. But the one thing that stood out was that she was Quirkless, just like her and her friends.

If that were the case...

Ayumi then placed a hand on Reina's shoulder, causing her to look up to see the girl giving her a look of empathy and a soft smile. "Trust me. I know EXACTLY what that feels like. So do my friends."

Once again, Reina was taken aback by this. "What?"

Ayumi then grabbed her hand and pulled her up from her seat. "Come on. Once you meet them, I know you'll like them too!"

With that, she basically pulled Reina away from her lonely table, ignoring everyone around them before she approached another table, occupied by three boys. "Hey guys!"

The trio broke out of their current conversation as Reina was able to take in all their appearances. The first boy had black spiky hair with a red hightlight and ruby eyes. The second boy had short, periwinkle blue hair of varying lengths with glasses over his royal blue eyes. Finally, the last boy had orange hair, though the front concentrates the spikes on the right side of his head as if windswept, and the back is smoother and more feathered. He also had light blue eyes as well.

The third boy was the first to smile at Ayumi. "Yo, Ayu. We were wondering where you went." He twisted around in his seat. 

The second boy then took noticed of Reina. "Who's that?"

"Oh, this is Reina Fukukado." Ayumi replied, gesturing to said girl. "She's new around here and I wanted her to feel welcome. So, is it okay if she sits here with us?" 

The trio eyed each other before agreeing.

"Sure. Have a seat." The first boy pulled out a chair beside him. Ayumi grinned gratefully.

"Come on, Fukakado! Sit with us!" She chirped with a smile.

"R-Right." Reina sat down, placing her tray down. Ayumi took her seat on the other side of the first boy.

"Thanks." Reina then sat down in the chair as she looked at the three boys. "So, umm... who are you guys?"

"Oh, sorry." The blue-haired boy apologized before gesturing to himself, the dual-haired boy, and orange-haired boy. "I'm Cyrus Hado, that's Sora Ukashi and Kiba Mason."

"Hey there." Sora greeted.

"Yo!" The orange-haired boy added.

"Hado, Ukashi, and Mason..." Reina repeated their names. "I see... I'm Reina Fukukado."

The boys all perked up at this.  "As in the new student?" Cyrus questioned.

"Yeah, and get this...she's Quirkless, just like us." Ayumi announced, much to the boys' surprise.

"Wow, really?" Kiba's jaw dropped with shock.

 Reina's eyes widened in disbelief at what Ayumi revealed. All of them were Quirkless, too!?

"Wait, you guys are ALL Quirkless?"

"Yeah. Shocking, isn't it?" Sora snorted while performing jazz hands.  "Well, welcome to the normal circle!" 

"Yeah, we've all basically been singled out as the "Losers" of the school." Cyrus sighed out loud.

"But, through some miracle, we all came together as a group." Ayumi chimed in.

"Exactly! And besides, who needs those jerks anyways? It's fun hanging around you three." Kiba grinned, slinging an arm over Cyrus' neck. The sudden gesture merely made him comically choke as Sora and Ayumi chuckled. "Oh! Sorry, Cy." He pulled away, albeit awkwardly.

"Geez, Kiba." Cyrus groaned out.

Ayumi turned to face Reina. "See? You're not alone in that regard."

"I see..." Reina simply spoke, trying to process everything. "So, you guys have been bullied too?"

"Oh ho ho, yeah!" Kiba repiled. "First round was basically just those jerks being jealous of my creative mind."

"Yep. For me, I was targeted for just being smart. Not exactly my fault, but what can you do?" Cyrus shrugged his shoulders.

Ayumi meekly raised a hand. "And coming from a rich family, apparently causes others to believe you're arrogant and resent you."

"Wait, you're rich?" Reina looked at Ayumi in surprise. "No offense, but you don't exactly look the part of a rich girl." 

"So, I've been told." The blonde laughed, rubbing her head. "I didn't want to been as some snobby princess, so I figure dressing normally would help."

Reina hummed at this, before turning her gaze onto Sora. "And you?"

Sora shrugged his shoulders loosely. "I've had my fair share, but I never let it bother me. Why should I care what people say about it just because I'm Quirkless? Doesn't define who I am in the end."

"Hehe! Well said, Cap!" Kiba chirped in.

"If you're worried about being judged, you won't have that problem with us." Cyrus assured Reina.

"He's right. Us Quirkless folk have to stick together!" Ayumi added.

The greenette looked at the group with widened eyes, before a smile crossed her lips in gratitude.

"Yeah."

In the time that passed, the five became inseparable. A bad boy, a rich girl, a goofy prankster, a nerd, and a rumored delinquent. It was something all their peers could see, even back home. From Emi, they were, a bit mockingly called, Reina's new fancy school chums. From Kiba grandparents, they were always called Kiba's wee little friends. Nejire cheerfully dubbed them as her twinsie's "Besties better than the resties". Ayumi's father knew nothing of them, of course. And Serena referred to them as the Big Five. 

End of Flashback


"...Since then, it's been the five of us and we've been together through it all." Reina finished explaining while she leaned back in a chair that she was currently sitting in.

Sitting across from her, was Ejiro, who was blown away by Reina's origin story as his mind couldn't process it.

"W-Wow! T...That's so manly! As if your crew wasn't already badass enough without Quirks...!" Kirishima said as he held up his arm and clutched his fist. "Honestly, I feel small in comparison." 

"Hey, don't say that, Red!" Reina told Kirishima as she placed a hand on his fist and gently brought it down. "You're pretty badass in your own way, too. I mean, you held your own against me and landed some good hits on me during our sparring match; not to mention that you did all of that without using your Quirk!" She then looked at him with a genuine smile on her face. "Hell, you even went toe to toe with Blasty! Even I'm impressed by that."

The red head looked at Reina in surprise with a small blush on his face as he unclenched his fist. "Do you really mean that?"

"Like I said before the USJ attack, you're likable enough to be popular." The greenette replied.

Kirishima felt his heart swell up from the girl's words as his blush grew bigger. Unknown to the duo, Kirishima subconsciously moved his hand- which was still being held by Reina's hand- to the point where it was now gently holding Reina's hand.

The girl froze, looking down at their connected hands in surprise as she then turned gaze back up to the Hardening Quirk user, her mouth shut and throat running dry.

As the two continued to gaze into each other's eyes, they were unaware of Maddie watching the scene from the counter with a smile on her face. 

 'Aww, those two look so cute together!' Maddie thought to herself. 'Kinda hard to believe that Reina actually found herself a boyfriend.'

Though the next thing Kirishima knew, his face lit up in realization, making him turn red as he flinched back. "Oh, S-Sorry! I didn't mean-"

"N-No, no! It's fine!" Reina abruptly stood up, waving her hands out with her face still flushed red. She then noticed they were drawing the attention of others as they were giving the pair awkward looks.

"Ahem!" Clearing her throat, she regained her composure and spoke. "R-right! Sh-Should we get back to it?" She stammered as she gestured to the mat and walked towards it.

"Huh? U-Uh, yeah sure!" Kirishima nodded swiftly, getting up and following her to it.

Unknown to him, Reina appeared to be having a inner turmoil with herself. 'What the hell is wrong with me!? Why am I thinking about that moment?'

She then blinked as she remembered what Ayumi said back at U.A. before shaking those thoughts out of her head. 'Damn it, Ayu! Look what you did!'

To Be Continued...

Ukashi Residence - Morning

RING! RING! RING!

Beep!

With a small groan of tiredness, Sora made an effort as he reached out and grabbed his phone to check the time. Once he saw that it was 7:00, he let out another tired groan as he raised his head from his soft pillow and grumpily opened his eyes to rub some of the gunk out of them.

After letting out an open-mouthed yawn, Sora raised himself from where he had been sleeping, face down on his sheets, and moved his legs to put his feet down on the ground, slowly lifting himself up and wobbling as he smacked his lips, disliking the current taste in his mouth as he forced himself to begin moving.

Tucking his school uniform underneath his arm to change in the bathroom, Sora opened the door and walked out of his room towards the bathroom.

Once he finally stepped out of the shower, having managed to clean himself up, he brushed his teeth and got dressed into his school uniform. As he opened the door, he had been startled when he nearly accidentally bumpe into Ayumi and Eri, who were now awake. Ayumi let out a squeak as she found herself staring at familiar sfcarlet red eyes as Sora's face turned pink too. 

"S-S-Sora!" Ayumi exclaimed while she started to sweat nervously. "Go--Go--Go--" Eri couldn't help but give a tilted look at this as she noticed how she had been acting as she did her best to form her words...

...Only to fail miserably.

Seeing this, Sora let out a chuckle before he gave her a soft smile, making her freeze. "Morning to you too, Ayu."

"Ri-Right! That's what I totally meant to say!" Ayumi said embarrassingly. "G-Good morning!" She gave a laugh that Sora couldn't help but find cute.

"Good morning to you too, Eri." The boy knelt down to the young girl. "Did you sleep well?"

"I did." Eri slowly nodded, before she felt a pat on her head as she looked up and saw Sora look down at her with a soft smile. 

"Glad to hear it." The Red Ranger remarked as he stood up to address Ayumi. "Well, the shower's all yours. Mom's proabably up with breakfast, so I'm gonna head downstairs."

"O-Okay." The blonde squeaked out as she took Eri's hand and made her way to the bathroom. "Gotta--Go--To--Bathroom!" She said as she started to walk in a robotic way.

Seeing the girl's reaction, Sora couldn't help but laugh. 'She is too goddamn cute!'

With that, he turned and made his way downstairs.


"Ahhh..."

Currently, the Pink Ranger was trying to cool down as she had been fanning herself. She took a few deep breaths as she had collected her thoughts at what had just happened in the hallway. "Good Lord, that was really really awkward!" She said to herself, trying to lose the blush on her face, "That was the most embarrassing experience ever to happen in my life! I can't imagine what Rei would say if she found out!"

She looked in the mirror's reflection as she put two of her fingers to her lips. Her mind ended up recalling the kiss that she shared with Sora last night.

Her face turned red again at how steamy things got before she let out a scream as she rubbed her head.

"OH GOOD LORD!!" She yelled. "WHAT THE HECK AM I EVEN THINKING!?"

 "Ayumi?"

The blonde jumped a little at the familiar voice before she looked at Eri, who was looking up at her with a blink. "Are you okay?" She asked, looking concerned. "Your face is all red."

"It's red?" Ayumi questioned, touching her cheek. "--Oh, I must be feeling a little hot. I'm okay!"

Eri tilted her head at the older girl in confusion.

After shaking her head. Ayumi flashed her a reassuring smile. "Anyway, come on. Let's take a bath."

"Mhm." Eri nodded as she rose her arms towards her, silently telling her that she wants to be picked up. Ayumi didn't need to be told twice as she happily grabbed the little girl and easily lifted her up and held her close and got the water started.


Sora, Serena, Ayumi, and Eri were all in the dining room eating their breakfast. Though Eri was eating her food instantly.

"By the way, thanks for allowing me to stay over, Ms. Serena." Ayumi said, slightly bowing her head in gratitude.

"Ahh, think nothing of it, honey. You're more than welcome to stay as long as you want." Serena reassured her with a smile. "Also, no need to be so formal anymore. Just call me 'Serena'."

Ayumi felt her eyes widen as her heart swell up at this before smiling. "Oh, okay."

Sora watched in silence as the two conversed, smiling to himself.  He then looked over at Eri who sat between him and Ayumi. "You like them?"

"Mm-hm." She responds, her mouth full. Sora could sense Eri's aura and she was happy with a big smile on her, which was going.

It was then that the female officer decided to address the little elephant in the room.

"So, how do we do this?" She asked while gesturing to Eri. "I have work today, so I won't be able to watch her."

"Uh...hmm, good question." Ayumi hummed at this. " We can't really just leave a 6-year-old kid here."

"I mean, why don't we just take her with us?" Sora brought up, getting the duo's attention. "She shouldn't cause any trouble. "We'll just tell Nezu about the situation and after that, I'll bring her back home."

"Ayumi looked at Eri, who was busy stuffing food into her mouth. "That could work. If we explain, then there might not be any problems."

"Well, that's the only solution we have, so..." Serena remarked after thinking it over. "Just talk to your teachers today about to do with her tomorrow. Alright?"

"Yeah, I got it. It shouldn't take long." Sora said getting ready to leave.

"You're leaving?" Eri asked, looking like she might cry. Her eyes getting pretty misty, and her frown getting lower.

Sora looked at her sad expression, and she didn't look too convinced, her head kept lowering, and she was less interested in eating. He felt bad for making that decision without taking Eri's feelings into consideration. Eri seems to have grown emotionally attached to both Sora and Ayumi and being separated from either of them might do more harm than good. Especially with everything she's been through, thanks to that yakuza villain.

"No, no sweetie!" Ayumi quicky replied. "He's only making a phone call, that's all."

"I'll be nearby, promise." Sora told her, making the call to U.A.

After a few minutes, he hung up the phone and then faced the three females.

"OK, so Principal Nezu gave the okay to bring Eri with to class." He said to them.

"Really?" Ayumi asked, getting a nod in return.

"So I can go with you?" Eri asked, hoping for a yes.

"Yup, you can come with us to U.A. Problem solved." Sora said with a smile.

Eri then gave a big smile.

"Alright, it's 7:10. You might want to get going now," Serena said, reminding them of the clock. "Eri if you're done, we need to go get you some new clothes."

"Okay." She said, finishing the last of her food.

"Shopping!~" Ayumi gleefully cheered.

Later on, Sora and Ayumi were both seen washing dishes while Serena stayed with Eri.

"I can't wait to see everyone again." The latter brought up as she handed her partner a clean plate. "I bet they're gonna be surprised when they see Eri too."

"No doubt." Sora agreed, thought he snickered at something. "Though, knowing our classmates and our friends, most of them would ask about Eri while some of them would think that she's our daughter." He joked as he put away a clean plate. 

At this, Ayumi sputtered in shock as her face turned bright red. "W-What!?"

"I was only kidding about that last part." Sora laughed heartily.

The blonde looked at him with shock, before smacking his arm with a pout.


The next day was the day that classes resumed at U.A. after the break the students were given. Cyrus, Reina, and Kiba were all walking together as they looked at the now raining scene.

 "Crazy weather we're having, huh?" Cyrus spoke outloud.

 "Yeah, you said it." Reina nodded with her arms folded.

Kiba let out a snicker. "I actually thought you'd be okay with this weather since you basically shoot water out of your hands." He joked, getting a deadpan look from the bluenette.

"Haha..." Cyrus sarcastically said, though it hadn't been long before he looked at his phone. "So has anyone heard from Sora and Ayumi?"

"I texted Ayu this morning, but she hasn't replied yet." Reina said, looking at her phone.

"Maybe something held them up?" Kiba gave his opinion. "I'm sure they'll show up soon."

Suddenly, Kiba and the others soon came across their green-haired friend, looking somewhat drowsy. "Oh hey, Freckles!"

"Huh? Oh, hey guys."

"Sup Seaweed!" Reina said, greeting the boy. "How's your morning?"

"Fine...kind of tired though," Izuku said. "Feels like I'm barely awake."

"What, you still worn out from all the fun during the Festival?" Kiba asked. "Then again, that was a heart-pounding event."

"Give him a break, he was still hurt," Cyrus said. "He showed up in a cast."

Izuku rubbed his head. "Well, it wasn't exactly that. I kinda got swarmed by people on the way here, saying they were rooting for me."

"Oh, that makes sense." Reina said. "You did pretty good too, and it's good that you're so respected."

"Yeah, man. I got swarmed too." Kiba informed, patting Izuku on the back.

"Right..." Izuku said, before noticing two people were missing. "Um, where's Sora and Suzuni?"

Before anyone could give a response, the group heard some rapidly approaching footsteps. They turned around and saw that Iida was sprinting toward them wearing a green raincoat covering most of his body. "Good morning, Midoriya! Hado! Fukukado! Mason!" 

"Is that Iida?" Reina asked.

"Wow, he went all out with the rain gear," Izuku said.

"You four are walking too slowly! Don't you know we're late?! Tenya said, running past them and they decided to increase their pace to match Iida's.

"Dude, there's like five minutes til the first bell, we got time," Kiba called out.

"UA Students should be arriving ten minutes early, it's only proper!" Tenya said, then sped off.

"Ugh, he's just like my sister," Reina said, then spoke in a voice mocking Ms. Joke. "It's always proper to arrive with plenty of time to spare, better too early than very tardy."

The Rangers exchanged looks of confusion and uncertainty: for they knew that having his brother injured by the Hero Killer at any level must've been a very traumatic experience.

Soon, they all made it to the made it to the locker rooms, where they removed their rain gear and umbrellas.

"Say, Iida..." Cyrus soon said hesitantly, "... About your brother... I--"

"It's alright, Hado." Tenya said to him, cutting him off, "Your concern for my family is appreciated, but no longer necessary. I apologize for making you all worry."

"No sweat, man!" Kiba said to him reassuringly. "Family always comes first, you know?"

"I suppose so." Tenya said.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Izuku soon asked, "I mean, we can talk--" 

"It's fine, you don't have to do that." Tenya told him, before he bowed. "I apologize for worrying you."

With that, he walked off as the group couldn't help but still have concerned gazes, leaving them in an awkward silence.

"Even I could tell that smile was fake." Reina commented as she watched the boy's back.

 "Yeah." Izuku agreed. "But for now, let's get going or we'll be late for homeroom."

With that, the four of them headed inside and towards their classroom.


Class 1-A Homeroom

Aizawa didn't arrive just yet, giving the students of Class 1-A time to discuss their experiences with fame and fans during the Sports Festival Break.

"It's so weird that people recognize use from TV," Mina said with a smile. "Everyone wanted to talk to me on my way here."

"Yeah, me too!" Kirishima exclaimed.

"People on the street were staring at me! It was kind of embarrassing," Hagakure said, with her arms up to her chest. If they could see her face, everyone would see she was blushing.

"Sure, but isn't that pretty normal for you?" Ojiro asked. She was basically a walking pair of floating clothes.

"You won't believe what a bunch of elementary school brats yelled at me," Sero said with an annoyed tone in his voice. Because of him losing to Todoroki in seconds, he's basically become a laughing stock.

"'Nice try'?" Tsuyu guessed.

Sero groaned in misery as Mina and the others chuckled while reassuring him that they were just joking.

"One Sports Festival and we're practically celebrities," Kaminari said.

"This school's so amazing!" Mineta said.

It was at that moment the door opened, revealing Kiba, Cyrus and Reina walking in when they were then greeted by their classmates.

"Hado, Mason, Reina!" Ochaco said with a wave. "Good morning!"

Reina blinked at this. "Huh? I never told you to call me by my first name."

 "I know, but since we're friends it kinda feels right to do that, right?"

"I guess..."

"You guys made it!" Sero said.

Kiba then said with a smile, "Wouldn't miss it for the world!"

"Hey, Kibi!" Mina waved enthusiastically at the Yellow Ranger.

"Mimi!" The ginger-haired boy greeted back.

Cyrus noticed Momo as she waved at him, causing him to wave in return.

"Hey, Red. How have you been?" Reina approached Kirishima and held out her fist for a fist bump. Kirishima grinned as he returned the fist bump.

 "Pretty good, Reina. After our training session during the break, I've been training twice as hard."

"Yeah? Looking forward to seeing the results."

Toru then noticed two people were missing. "Hey, where's Ukashi and Suzuni?"

The others soon notice of their classmates' absence. "Come to think of it, I didn't see them enter either." Jiro added.

Not long after sitting down, the door opened and from it stepped Mr. Aizawa and Solon. "Morning," The former said in his normal, tired voice before closing the door behind him.

"Hello again." Solon greeted.

"Ms. Solon!?" The class called out in surprise, except for the Rangers.

"Right, I forgot we got a new teacher." Kaminari muttered.

As the pair stood in front of the class, someone noticed something was different about Aizawa.

"Ribbit? Mr. Aizawa, you don't have bandages anymore. That's good news." Tsuyu said. It was true. The bandages were off and he didn't look like a mummy anymore.

"The old lady went a little overboard in her treatment." He replied before yawning. 

"Is everyone here?" Solon asked.

Momo then raised her hand. "Not exactly, it seems that Ukashi and Suzuni aren't-"

Just then the sound of footsteps approached the door, snapping everyone's attention towards the entrance of their classroom. "We finally made it." They recognized the voice as Sora's.

"Yeah. Though everyone's gonna be really surprised." Ayumi's voice came next.

"The door's big." A soft voice pointed out. The class didn't recognize the new voice and was wondering who it belonged to.

"Oh, hey!" Kiba said with a grin on his face. "There they are!""

"About time." Reina snorted as she heard her friends' voices.

"Yeah, but...who was the other voice?" Cyrus questioned.

The door to the classroom soon opened suddenly, showing Sora holding onto the entrance. He seemed a little out of breath as if he was in a hurry to get here. But more surprising than his sudden arrival, was Ayumi walking with a little girl in her arms. She was wearing a white dress shirt with a frilled collar and a plain red pinafore with two large, golden buttons on either side of her chest. Under that, she was wearing gray tights and a large set of tan boots, and a small dark red messenger bag with the strap sitting over her right shoulder, and 2 little flowers decorating one of its sides.

"Ahh, Sora. Ayumi. Who might this be?" Solon asked as she eyed the girl in the latter's arm, causing her to hide her face.

"Oh, this is Eri." Ayumi answered as Eri meekly looked at Solon. "We got special permission to bring her here."

"Mr. Aizawa, Solon. You might want to read this." Sora then pulled out a sheet of paper from his pocket and handed to the teachers. During that time, Eri clung closer to Ayumi, as she was not comfortable with the attention she was receiving from the other students. Ayumi did her best to help her, holding her tight.

"...Poor thing." Solon commented after reading the note, as she looked at the younger girl. "Everything's perfectly alright. It's very nice to meet you, Eri. My name is Solon."

"H-Hi." Eri cutely said.

Aizawa then finished reading the note and looked at the two Rangers. "OK then. Grab a chair for her and take your seats. The class will begin after."

"WHAT?!" The class erupted in simultaneous disbelief. Every single person had their own questions.

"Why the fuck did they bring a kid here?" Bakugo asked in anger.

"Is that allowed?" Momo asked in confusion.

"She looks so cute. But why is she with Ukashi and Suzuni?" Mina asked.

"Is she a new student? Did she skip a few grades?" Ochaco asked.

"Could she be their secret love child!?" Mineta exclaimed loudly.

"Now, now." Solon calmed the class. "There's a reason why they bought her here. However, it is currently sensitive information. For now, just pay her no mind and let's continue with class, shall we?"

The class murmured in agreement, while Ayumi pulled up a chair for Eri to sit between her and Sora. The latter took notice of Cyrus, Kiba and Reina with questionable and surprised gazes before he gave them a look; saying that he would explain later.

Aizawa fixed up a couple of papers before he spoke up again. "Onto the main topic... We're having a special hero informatics today."

This made most of his class freeze in fear and began to sweat at what was to come.

'Is it a quiz!?'  Kaminari thought in fear, 'I hope not!'

'I'm bad at laws relating to Heroes and stuff like that...!' Kirishima thought nervously.

Kiba thought as he started to sweat profusely, 'Oh man, with everything that was going on, I forgot to study! Damn it all!'

"You need codenames." Aizawa said bluntly. "Time to pick your Hero identities."

Worries were replaced with erupting cheers of joy from the students.

"THIS IS GONNA BE TOTALLY AWESOME!"

Aizawa's eyes flashed red as he activated his Quirk. Order returned to the classroom as his students sat back down in their chairs and remained silent.

"Sora, Ayumi. What's a codename?" Everyone's attention was brought to the ever adorable Eri as she looked up between the two Rangers with a curious expression.

"Well, it's kinda like a nickname." Ayumi was the one to speak up and explain things to the girl.

"Yeah, they're basically nicknames that people will call us by once we become Heroes." Sora added in.

Eri nodded in understanding of the explanation. "Okay."

"Adding to that, this is related to the Pro Hero draft picks that I mentioned the last time we were in class together. Normally, students don't have to worry about the draft yet. Not until their second or third year actually, but your class is different. In fact, by extending offers to first-years like you, pros are essentially investing in your potential. Any offers can be rescinded if their interest in you dies down before graduation, though." Aizawa explained. 

This caused some fear and worry in some of the students of the class. "Stupid, selfish adults," Mineta mumbled.

'Tell me about it!' Reina and Cyrus thought to themselves about their current predicament.

"So what you're saying is, we'll still have to prove ourselves after we've been recruited?" Toru asked.

"Correct. Now, here are the totals for those of you who got offers." Aizawa said, pulling out a remote and pressing a button, showing the number of internships each student got.

CLASS 1A NO. OF OFFERS

Ukashi - 4123

Todoroki- 3556

Bakugo - 2099

Tokoyami - 360

Iida - 301

Kaminari - 272

Yaoyorozu - 108

Kirishima - 68

Uraraka - 20

Sero - 14

"In past years, it's been more spread out. But there's a pretty big gap this time." Aizawa said, pointing at the few names he's displayed on the board. These were all the students that got into the tournament during the festival.

"Gah! That's not fair!" Kaminari threw his head back in frustration. The number of offers he got is nowhere near the top three.

"What about the real star? Moi?" Aoyama complained, as Mina looked in shock that she wasn't even on the board.

"You mean Ukashi? He's right there." Tsuyu said, pointing at the board. As far as she and some of Wade's friends were concerned, the Red Ranger was the real star of the festival.

That just annoyed Aoyama even more.

"Whoa," Sora blinked, feeling himself shrink at how large the number was beside his name, while the rest of the class began gushing amongst themselves as they quickly looked for their names.

"Man, Ukashi totally blew Todoroki and Bakugo's offers out of the water." Jiro commented.

"Not surprising considering how awesome he was through the Festival!" Kirishima said with a grin. "Especially when he tore off his shirt in such a manly way!"

 They were more than certain every single hero and their mother in Japan would have wanted to have Sora after his amazing display at the festival.

"That's Cap for ya!" Kiba chimed in.

Sora could only give a slightly embarrassed smirk in response, when Ayumi gave him a playful elbow nudge to his arm with a cheeky grin on her face. "Look at you moving so high up in the world, Mr. Superstar."

"WHAT!? HOW COME SPANDEX GOT MORE OFFERS!?" Bakugo roared, angry that he got less offers than Sora.

"They probably weren't excited about working with the guy that had to be chained up at the end." Sero said.

"IF I SCARED A PRO, THEY'RE JUST WEAK!" Bakugo shouted angrily.

"Or cautious of having you." Reina snidely remarked. 

"SAY WHAT!?"

Momo was disappointed at her low offers, but she put that aside to congratulate the boy next to her. "You must be so proud."

"These offers were likely because of my father," Shoto said.

"Don't sell yourself short, Momo." Cyrus encouraged. "You still caught the eyes of Pros."

Momo was surprised by the praise before smiling bashfully. "T-Thank you, Cyrus."

"Wow! People want us!" Ochaco shouted, excitedly shaking Tenya's back.

"Midoriya, you didn't get any!" Mineta said, only shaking him a little, as Izuku himself had a defeated expression, "They're scared of you because of the way you were fighting!"

"Ye--Yeah." Izuku said.

"Aw, it's alright Frecks," Kiba said, patting the boy's shoulder. "Some pros can't see potential."

"Despite these results, you'll all be interning with Pros. Got it? Even those of you who didn't get any offers." Aizawa stated, causing those like Mina to perk up in surprise and happiness.

Izuku looked back at the teacher with slightly wide eyes. "So, we're all interning?"

"Yes. You've already got to experience combat with real villains during the attack on the USJ facility." Aizawa said to the class, before glancing at each of the Rangers. "Some of you, much more."

Remembering Igeron brought a scowl to the team's face. "But it'll still be helpful to see pros at work. Up close and personal, in the field. Firsthand."

"And for that, we need Hero names!" Sato said, pumping his fist.

"Things are suddenly getting a lot more fun!" Ochaco chirped.

Aizawa continued. "These Hero names will likely be temporary, but take them seriously or..."

The door to 1-A suddenly slid open. And a familiar woman's voice shouted, "...you'll have hell to pay later!"

 Most of the boys got flustered when they saw who it was, while Kaminari, Sero, and especially Mineta grinned pervertedly when the Heroine walked into the classroom. The girls all stared in awe at her beauty and maturity.

"What you pick today could be your codename for life. You better be careful, or you'll be stuck with something utterly indecent." said the R-Rated Hero Midnight as she walked into the room. Walking in a seductive manner, with her hands behind her head, her hips swaying, and her breasts bouncing lightly.

"It's Midnight!" The class shouted in unison.

"She's got a good point. Midnight here will be helping you come up with Hero Names and making sure they're okay, along with Solon here." Aizawa said, pulling out his sleeping bag. "It's not my forte." In his case, when Aizawa went to U.A., it was Present Mic that gave him the name Eraserhead; all because Aizawa didn't care for what he was called.

 "Well, I'll certainly do my best to help however I can." Solon spoke after a while. "To be honest, I'm actually interested in what names you'll come up with." 

"The name you give yourself is important. It helps reinforce your image and shows what kind of Hero you wanna be in the future. A codename tells people exactly what you represent. Take 'All Might' for example," Aizawa explained to the class.

Soon, dry erase boards and markers were handed out to the class and everyone started to think about their potential hero names. Like Aizawa told them, they needed something that embodied the kind of Hero they all wanted to be one day.

For Sora, it wasn't that hard of a choice. His Hero name was already decided when he was chosen as a Power Ranger. He looked at his friends and already had a good idea that they thought the same thing as they all shared a look.


About ten minutes of muttering and marker squeaking later, all of Class 1-A started looking around at what their classmates had possibly thought up. Before they could, however, Midnight smiled and tapped her long nails against the podium.

"Alright," Solon gestured towards the empty spot beside her as Midnight stood near the board. "If we're all ready, we can begin presenting!"

"W-wait," Kirishima started, eyes going wide. "we're presenting these?"

"Of course! I'm sure everyone is very curious about what you're going to name yourself, and it's better to get constructive criticism with everyone giving their opinions!"

"Oh, man," Sero winced. "this is gonna take some nerve."

"Well, there's no need to be nervous," Midnight shook her head while smiling gently at the class. "We're all here to be heroes, there's no need to be afraid of getting a little advice. Besides, we also have to make sure what you're naming yourself is appropriate, right?"

"Says the queen of inappropriateness," Reina muttered under her breath, quiet enough that she wouldn't be heard.

"Now then," She then gestured to the podium as she stepped aside. "Who wants to go first? Or do you want me to start alphabetically?"

Everyone glanced nervously between each other, as though suddenly fearful that they were about to be put in the center of attention.

"In that case...." All eyes whipped to Sora, who raised a hand over his head. "Since my team and I have already decided on our names..."

"Would it be cool if we all went up together to share?" Reina finished up.

"Ahh, that sounds awesome!" Kiba agreed with excitement. "We pretty much had our names ready when we first became Rangers!"

Cyrus hummed in thought. "I mean, we're basically a team already."

Ayumi clasped her hands in glee. "Right? Can we, Ms. Midnight?"

"Ooo, that sounds like an excellent idea!" Solon agreed excitedly.

"Why not!" Midnight happily pointed at them, gesturing for them to get up. "Let's get the ball rolling!"

With a nod, the Rangers quickly got up (With Ayumi assuring Eri that she and Sora will be right back) and stepped up to the front of the room. As they headed up, the class leaned forward curiously as they were intrigued by what the team had chosen for themselves.

Once they reached the podium, the Rangers all looked at each other before they stood side by side: Ayumi and Cyrus on the left, Reina and Kiba on the right, with Sora in the middle.

With a deep breath, the HF leader spoke up. "Okay. As you guys already know, we were chose at the new generation of Power Rangers after the ones who came before us. So, in honor of them, we all decided to go with individual names that represent their color."

 As if reading each other's minds, the Rangers then moved to put the boards down on the podium to display their names, giving everyone confident smiles. "The Morphin Hero: Ranger Red."

"The Morphin Hero: Ranger Yellow."

"The Morphin Hero: Ranger Blue."

"The Morphin Hero: Ranger Pink."

"And finally, the Morphin Hero: Ranger Black. Or Ranger Green." Reina then shrugged her shoulders. "Honestly, I don't really mind which color you refer me to me as."

Eri looked at Sora and Ayumi in awe, recalling them changing into those suits and rescuing her. Though she wondered who the other three were with them now.

"Hardcore!" Kaminari cheered.

"Right? That's so freaking manly!" Kirishima was impressed.

"I love em!" Mina said encouragingly.

"So cool!"

Izuku looked at his fellow classmates with a look of admiration. He remembered some of the Hero names he had picked out for himself when he was still really little. Many of them are based around 'Might'.

"Oh, how spunky!" Midnight clapped her hands happily as she nodded in approval, "I like it!"

"Me too!" Solon agreed proudly. "It's wonderful that you're honoring the past Rangers by taking up their color mantle. You'll have that much to live up to."

"Right!"  The team nodded before taking their boards and returned to their desks.

"Hope we didn't keep you waiting long, Eri." Ayumi smiled at the young girl.

"N-No, it's fine." Eri replied meekly. "Umm. What's a Power Ranger?" 

"Ah, you can say that they're special types of heroes that we used to save you." Sora said. 

"C-Can I see it again?" 

"See what?" Sora asked in confusion.

"The-um..." Eri said, pointing to her body.

Ayumi just looked at her in confusion until she realized what she wanted.

"Oh, you mean our Ranger outfits? You want to see that?" Ayumi asked.

Eri nodded to her in response.

"Don't worry, you'll see them again. Right, Sora?" The Pink Ranger assured.

"She's right." He agreed. "Just wait until after school, ok?"

After that, the next student that stepped to the front of the room was Yuga, as he held his board with pride

"Here I go... The Shining Hero... " He said before he showed what he had written. "... I CANNOT STOP TWINKLING! Which means you can't stop my twinkles!"

Nearly everyone fell out of their seats at this. "THAT'S A WHOLE SENTENCE!" The whole class shouted.

Nemuri soon took the board from him before she started to make changes of her own. "It'll be easier to use it if you take out the 'I' and shorten the 'cannot' to 'can't'." Nemuri said as she showed the codename to him.

"You're right, mademoiselle." Yuga said with a smile.

"YOU'RE OKAY WITH IT!?" The whole class exclaimed again.

"Which do you speak, English or French!?" Rikido exclaimed.

"Mmm, while it is a rather... unique name, might I suggest an alternative?" Solon requested, getting the entire classroom's attention. "How about...'Spotlight?'"

Midnight blinked owlishly at Solon's suggestion before saying, "...Oh. I suppose that works, too."

"Mmm, magnifique!" Aoyama commented, taking a liking to the name.

'FINALLY, A NAME THAT'S ACTUALLY NORMAL!' The class thought in unison.

The cyborg Solonosaurus then faced the class. "Just remember, when you're thinking about a codename for yourself, you don't just want people to know about what your Quirk does. You also want people to know what kind of person- or Hero- you are or what you aspire to be; someone they can relate to or help inspire them to become something greater."

"Okay, who's next?" Midnight asked. 

"Me! I am!" Mina said before she skipped over to the front room. "Okay! At first, I was gonna go with 'Alien Queen'..."

"Wait!" Midnight gasped in shock, looking pale. "You mean that movie with the alien with acidic blood?"

"Yeah." Mina said, before looking over at Kiba with a wink. "But thanks to an awesome someone, I chose a different name. 'The Alien Hero: Venus'!"

"'Venus'?" Solon repeated, and then smiled and nodded. "Sounds mischievous! I like it!"

Midnight pondered for a second before agreeing. "Indeed, girl!"

"Alright, Mimi!" Kiba cheered, sending the girl a thumbs up.

"Yes!" Smiling happily, Mina quickly made her way back to her desk.

Tsuyu soon raised her hand, "Ribbit-Is it okay of I go next?"

"Of course, dear!" Solon said, "Come on up here!"

Tsuyu soon stepped over to the front room. "I've had this on my mind ever since I was in elementary school..." Tsuyu said before showing off her name, "... The Rainy Season Hero: Froppy!"

"Aw, that's so cute!" Midnight commented, "It seems friendly, I like it!" 

Solon soon added, "Not only is it cute, it's original too!"

At this the classes eyes seemed to brighten before most of them started to chant, "FROPPY! FROPPY! FROPPY!"

"I'll go next!" Eijiro said before stepping to the front of the room before showing off his board, "I am the Sturdy Hero: Red Riot!"

Midnight looked interested by the name. "That's paying homage to the current Hero, Crimson Riot, right?"

"Yeah!" Eijiro said with a smile, "It's a bit old-fashioned but Hero image wise, what I'm going for is the Crimson himself!"

"That's a good name for you, Kirishima!" Midnight said. "But don't take it too lightly. If you're going in that direction, there's gonna be a lot of pressure on your shoulders."

"Oh don't worry, I'm prepared for that!" He said with a smile.

Reina couldn't help but laugh softly at the redhead's enthusiasm. "Love that spirit, Red!" She commented, giving a grin in return.

"Man, all these names have been either clever or deep. I can't think of anything cool," Kaminari said.

"Hey, how about Jamming Way?" Jiro said.

"That sounds cool," Ayumi said, turning around to face the pair with Eri poking her head out from her chair to look at them. "Like you can jam airwaves, which lets Pros know that you're good for infiltration, and they don't want the cameras to spot the soldiers or the bad guys to call for backup!"

"Hey, you're right!" Kaminari said. "That's gonna rock."

"Actually...I was thinking more of that goofy face he makes when he's brain fried," Jiro said, snickering a bit.

"Come on Jiro, quit messing with me!" Kaminari complained.

The girl then made her way to the front with her own name. "The Hearing Hero: Amplifier'."

"That's a good one!" Solon said.

Next was Shoji, "The Tentacle Hero: Tentacole'."

"That sounds awesome, it sounds like a Pokemon!" Kiba said. 

"Ah I see, combining the English word Tentacle with the Japanese word Tako," Midnight said.

"What does Tako mean?" Eri asked.

"Octopus," Sora replied.

"Oh, clever," Ayumi commented.

Next was Sero, "The Taping Hero, Cellophane!"

"Right on the nose," Midnight said, giving a thumbs up. "Clever."

"The Martial Arts Hero, Tail Whip," Ojiro said.

"No surprise there," Solon commented.

Sato was next, "The Sweets Hero, Sugar Man!"

"It sounds so sweet!" Midnight said.

After debating in his head, Kaminari went to the front of the room, "I'll be the Stun Gun Hero: Chargebolt, combining charge with lighting bolt!"

"Oh, I feel so tingly!" Nemuri said as her face turned red. 

Hagakure went next after Kaminari. "Stealth Hero: Spectress!" She announced.

"Perfect!" Solon approved. "You're all doing better than I expected!"

"Come on then, let's keep going!" Midnight cheered. 

Momo stepped to the front of the room nervously as she looked at her own board, "... I hope I can live up to this name..." She said softly before she announced her Hero name. "... The Everything Hero: Creati."

"CREATIVE! " Midnight shouted happily. 

Next was Shoto as he presented his name. "Shoto." He said nonchalantly.

The two teachers looked surprised at this. "Really? Just your name?" Midnight asked. "Is that okay?"

"... Yes." Shoto replied after a moment of silence. 

Tokoyami went up next. "Jet-Black Hero: Tsukuyomi." He said in a voice that made the codename sound less like a hero name and more of a burden he was taking on.

Midnight moaned in delight. "Ah, God of the Night!"

Eri became still when her eyes locked onto Tokoyami and hid her face right in Ayumi's side, shivering a little. This got Sora and Ayumi's attention.

"Eri? What's wrong?" The blonde asked, placing a hand on the girl's back.

The little girl said nothing as she kept her face hidden but Sora looked between her and his classmate before realization hit. Of course, Tokoyami had a bird-shaped head. Overhaul was wearing that plague mask so no wonder she was afraid of Tokoyami when she saw him.

"She must be afraid of Tokoyami." He informed Ayumi, much to her confusion.

"Tokoyami? Why?"

"I think he reminded her of...Overhaul and that plague mask he wore."

Ayumi gasped as her friend/crush revealed this to her, hearing a whimper from Eri.

As he gently rubbed the back of her head, Sora spoke in a gentle tone. "Eri, Tokoyami is from a clan that protects children from the bad birds," he said.

Ayumi blinked at why Sora was saying such things, but she then realized that he was trying to calm the younger girl's nerves.

Eri lifted her head up to look at the Red Ranger with small tears in her eyes. "He is...?"

He wiped her eyes with his sleeve. "Yep. Their clan loves children and punishes those who hurt or make children cry." Sora said with a comforting smile.

"Yeah! That guy over will hunt down anyone who makes a child cry." Ayumi threw in her support to help Eri.

Eri's eyes widened before turning her attention to Tokoyami with a sparkle in her eyes. "Nice Tori..." She said, looking at him in awe.

Mineta was up, but due to his small size, he had to hold it up for everyone to see. "Fresh-Picked Hero: Grape Juice!"

"Very kitschy!"

The ever so shy Koda was up and showed his Hero name. The Petting Hero: Anima. "Yep! All about it!" Midnight said with a thumbs up.

"King Explosion Murder." Said none other than Bakugo with a menacing look in his face.

At hearing that, Sora nearly dropped his head onto his desk as he looked just as shocked as Ayumi and Cyrus did. 'Are you serious!?'

Reina soon shouted from her seat, as she stood, " SERIOUSLY, WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?! THAT AIN'T A HERO NAME, PISS FOR BRAINS!!! "

SHUT THE HELL UP, HIGHLIGHTS!! " Katsuki shouted. 

"I'm gonna say that one's a little too violent." Midnight said, not approving it in the slightest.

"I agree..." Solon said awkwardly. "M-Might I suggest that you pick a different name that doesn't sound a little... villainous or terrify people, especially small children?" 

"Huh, whaddaya mean?!" Bakugo yelled at the duo, who didn't really show a reaction to him.

"Your name has 'murder' in it, you explosive idiot!" Kiba yelled, but then he grinned. "Hey, maybe that should be your name instead!"

"SHUT UP, CARROT TOP!" Bakugo yelled at Kiba as the rest of the class chuckled.

After Bakugo was forced to sit back down, Ochaco saw her opportunity and walked to the podium. "This is the name I thought of: Uravity!" She shyly said to the class.

"I just love that!" Solon said with her hands together. Ochaco let out a sigh of relief and smiled as she saw Ayumi giving her two thumbs up in approval. "To be honest, choosing names is going faster than I thought it would. All we have left is Bakugo, who needs to rethink his, Iida, and Midoriya."

Tenya continued to stare down at his board for a moment before abruptly stood up from his chair. Everyone watched as he walked over to the podium, taking a deep breath - and then he put the board in his hands down on the podium, showing his first name there and nothing else.

"Really?" Midnight asked, "You're using your own name too?"

"No offense, dude, but I kinda thought you'd take up your brother's mantle and become the new Ingenium." Kiba added in. "At least that's how it usually goes in the comic books that I've read."

"It's alright, I don't mind it." Tenya added, before stating softly, "... I don't deserve that name anyway."

Reina and Izuku noticed his expression again; both of them had their own thoughts and concerns for Tenya though they didn't have the courage to speak up.

"Midoriya-san?" Nemuri soon called out, "Are you ready?"

"Ye-Yes ma'am!" Izuku soon said as he stood up and moved to the front of the class.

He took a deep breath before he showed his board; the name that had been on it, had caught them completely off guard. On his board, read the name...The Mighty Hero: Deku.

"Midoriya?" Kaminari asked, "Are you really okay with that?"

"You might be called that forever, you know." Eijiro added.

"Yeah..." Cyrus said. "Are you sure that's okay?"

Izuku gave a nod. "... I didn't like the name up until now, but... Several others changed the meaning of it, and... It was a huge impact for me." He soon gave a smile. "It... really made me happy. So... This will be my Hero name."

"Well, I for one like the name!" Solon commented, "It really suits you!"

Bakugo looked up in confusion while Ochaco flashed a wide grin at the choice. 

Ayumi also seemed pretty happy, not just for the name, but just how confident Izuku looked. 

"He has taken an insult in stride and used it as a strength." Sora muttered as he couldn't help but feel his respect for the One For All user go up even higher.

"Well, if it works for you, go for it." Reina said with a small smirk.

Kiba then loudly cheered, "AWW, YEAH DEKU!"


Moments later...

"LORD EXPLOSION MURDER!! " Bakugo yelled as he practically slammed the board down on the podium.

Almost everyone this time around, nearly fell to the floor at this; the two teachers on the other hand had been left unimpressed.

"... That's basically the same thing." Midnight said.

"WHY DID YOU THINK THAT NAME WOULD BE OKAY!?" Reina yelled as she raised a fist.

Kiba shouted doing the same. "SERIOUSLY, ARE YOU SURE YOU'RE IN THE RIGHT CLASS!?"

"YOU WANNA GO, EXTRAS!!" Bakugo yelled as his hands sparked a little.

"Oh dear." Solon got in between them as she calmly said, "Hey now, let's all take a deep breath."

The other Rangers couldn't help but laugh awkwardly at the scene playing before them. "Well... At least they're still lively as ever..." Ayumi said.

"Yep..." Sora said, dragging out the word. 

"Never a dull moment." Cyrus joined in with a sigh.

"Never a dull moment." Cyrus joined in with a sigh.

To Be Continued...

 

 

Notes:

Another long chapter put to rest. Aside from that, this marks the start of the Hero Killer/ Power of the Paladin arc. The next chapter will be about where the Rangers goes and who they intern with. Sora's got a lot of choices but I think you all know who he's gonna be with.

Thank you very much for reading. "Power Rangers: Heroes Force" will return. Please be sure to favorite and follow if you like the story, and also review it. If you have any questions or discussions you'd have for me, then please in a review or a PM my profile.

Thank you for reading, may God bless you, and have a wonderful day.

-UA High School-

The class had settled down after Aizawa woke up, as he had more to announce. "Now that everyone has decided on their hero names, we'll go back to talking about the internships." He announced. "They will last a week. For those who had offers from Pros, you will be given your own lists so you can choose those yourself. Those of you that didn't get offers will choose from among the forty agencies around the country that will be accepting interns. They all work in different places and have different specialities."

"For example--" Midnight started to add. "--Thirteen would be more focused on rescues, accidents and disasters than fighting Villains."

"Think carefully before you choose." Aizawa said.

Solon added with a smile, "Remember to do your best!"

The classmates agreed to this, as they were soon handed the papers.

"I want to fight crime in urban areas!" Eijiro said.

"I hope I can intern at a place with floods." Tsuyu said. "I wonder if there are any?"

Kiba excitedly said, "Oh man! They're so many choices!"

"Turn your choices in before the weekend." Aizawa said as he went to leave the room along with Midnight and Solon.

"WE'VE ONLY GOT TWO DAYS!?" Most of the class exclaimed.

"Make your decision efficiently." Aizawa soon added. "Dismissed."

Just as the bell rang signaling that Homeroom was over, Sora and Ayumi stood up.

"Guess that's our cue. Come on, Eri." The Red Ranger said as he and Ayumi grabbed their lunches and held on to Eri's hands.

"We'll catch up with you guys later." The Pink Ranger said as she waved at them.

"Ah! Hey-." Kiba called out as they both walked out of the classroom.

As they did, the class started talking. Sora was able to hear all of this thanks to his enhanced hearing.

"I don't think she's Sora's or Ayumi's sister. They don't look anything alike." Uraraka said to them.

"Maybe she's related to one of them in a different way," Kirishima said, giving his opinion. "Like half-siblings?"

"That is a possibility. But I'm curious why she's with them." Iida replied.

"Maybe they're related. I mean, they're both pretty quiet." Kaminari suggested.

"No, Ukashi seems to be more of the chill type of person than quiet. And Ayu's pretty much a ray of sunshine. That girl kinda looked like she was scared of everything." Mina said.

'Not everything. She's just scared of guys in bird masks.' Sora thought as he was walking with Ayumi and Eri to Nezu's office.

"You're right. The look she was giving off was that of a scared child." Tokoyami agreed with Mina.

"Probably cause she was shy, ribbit," Tsuyu said with a finger on her cheek.

"Hey, you guys are pretty tight with Ukashi and Suzuni. Do they have any siblings or something?" Sero asked Cyrus, Reina, and Kiba.

"Not that we know of," Reina said shaking her head.

"Yeah, both of them are the only children in their families." Cyrus said to them.

"Unless she's adopted." Kiba shrugged.

"Then who is she?" Shoji asked.

"Who the fuck cares!?" Bakugo scoffed. "I don't know why you extras are making a big deal out of Spandex, Goldilocks and the horned brat." He said, annoyed by the conversation.

"Bakugo, that is completely rude and unacceptable behavior!" Iida scolded him.

"Yeah man, don't be a jerk," Kaminari said.

"Whatever." Bakugo said, rolling his eyes.

"Like I was saying earlier, she could be their secret love chi-" Mineta decided to chime in...

*BAM*

...only to be face down on the floor, courtesy of Reina.

"That's enough out of you."


U.A. High School Principal's Office- Afternoon

Sora, Ayumi and Eri kept walking down the hallway until they reached the principal's office. Sora then knocked on the door.

"Come in." Nezu said behind the door.

They all walked inside the office, seeing how clean and proper it was as usual. Nezu, the intelligent animal who was also the principal, was sitting on the couch with his usual smile drinking tea.

"Ah, Ukashi. Suzuni. Please, take your seats. Go ahead and put your lunches down." Nezu said and his gaze was focused on Eri. "I must say, young one, it certainly is a pleasure to finally meet you."

Eri just gave a small nod, even though she was nervous about being in the room.

"It's alright child. I understand that you must have been through some traumatic experiences. It is alright if you don't feel entirely comfortable. Just know that no one in this school will hurt you. They only wish to help you." Nezu said to make Eri feel comfortable.

Eri almost smiled upon hearing those words.

"Now, Mr. Ukashi, Ms. Suzuni. Could you explain to me what happened? I did speak to the police, but I want to hear your side of the story." Nezu said.

"Not really much to say." Sora begins to say. "We were strolling through the city when Eri ran into us. We were helping her up when Chisaki followed her out of the alley." He explained to the principal.

Ayumi saw Eri tense up when Sora mentioned Chisaki's name. She grabbed her hand to calm the girl down.

"We could tell he was dangerous. So we morphed to subdue and knock him unconscious." The blonde finished.

"That was risky. You are only a student after all. Why not call a nearby hero?" Nezu suggested.

"There was no time to call a hero for help and there was no one else in the area at the time. So we had no choice but to do something about it." Ayumi stated.

"No choice?" Nezu asked his student.

"We let him make the first move to see what his quirk was and made him think he killed us. Once his guard was down, I used my sword to dislocate his hands to keep him from using his powers, and Ayumi manipulated the wind to knock him out." Sora explained to him.

"Even so, it was a dangerous situation for you to be in," Nezu said.

"Have you forgotten about the conditions we made Principal Nezu? That the Power Rangers can act freely." Sora reminded him.

"No, I haven't forgotten Young Ukashi. But If the situation had escalated beyond that, both of you would be in serious trouble right now, young man. As it stands now, you may eat." Nezu ordered.

"Right." Sora said unpacking his and Eri's lunches while Ayumi's unpacked hers. The leftover curry from last night. "You have a microwave?" He asked.

"Yes, it's over there." Nezu said pointing to where it is.

Sora walked over to the microwave and heated the curry up to have a hot meal. When the microwave timer went off Sora grabbed the hot food, as he, Ayumi, & Eri all started to eat their lunches.

"Now then, I'm assume that Aizawa has told your class about the upcoming internships?" Nezu asked his student.

"Yes, he has." Ayumi nodded, muching on her food. She turned slightly to see Eri trying to swallow her curry in one bite.

"Hey, easy Eri.. The food's not going anywhere. You can relax." 

Nezu nodded with his hands clasped together. "I see. Have you all decided on a Pro to intern with?"

Sora shrugged in response. "Not yet. I figured that we would talk it over as a team before making a decision. But If I'm being honest, I'd rather we go with someone trustworthy. Not saying all Pros aren't, it's just that most of them are..."

"Shallow?" Ayumi provided.

"Yeah."

"Ah good, that brings up a few things I have to say... I would like for the Rangers to intern with me."

Hearing Nezu's request made them look at him in surprise. "Wait what?" Sora said with a blink.

"What did you say, Principal Nezu?" Ayumi asked in surprise.

"I'd like for the Power Rangers to intern under me." Nezu repeated.

Ayumi blinked as her mind processed this. "No offense, Principal Nezu. The offer does sound really nice, but why are you offering us to intern with you?" 

Nezu clasped his hands together. "It's quite simple, really. To be honest, I completely agree with Ukashi's statement about how several Pros can be shallow and untrustworthy and how that applies to their Agencies, especially during Internships." He told them. "That way, not only will be you still be allowed to fight against any threat Alsatia might send our way, but you will also be protected from Endeavor and the HPSC."

"Honestly, I'm not surprised that you already know about what Endeavor did regarding me and my friends, considering what he told me during the Sports Festival." Sora snorted.

Principal Nezu then looked at the Pink Ranger. "Speaking of which, were you and the others informed about Endeavor's actions?"

"Yes sir. And I still can't believe that someone like that would do that to us, even after everything we've done." Ayumi replied in response.

The U.A. Principal shook his head in disappointment. "Not many Pros will share our way of thinking, Miss Suzuni. In fact, I'm sure that there are others who will agree with him."

Ayumi let out a defeated sigh, causing Eri to look up at her in worry. "Ayumi, are you okay?"

 The blonde placed a hand on Eri's head, sweetly. "Oh, sorry, Eri. I'm fine, but thanks for worrying about me." 

Sora took a moment to think over the offer. The idea did have merit. They would still be allowed to intercept any threat Alsatia's group threw at them while hopefully avoiding getting any crap from "Father of the Year" and the HPSC.

"It does sound like a great bet. Plus, we can use U.A as a base of operations." Sora hummed before nodding. "Let's do it."

"I agree. We can tell the others when we get back them." Ayumi chimed in before she realized something. "Oh wait, what about Eri? She's gonna be really lonely here if we're out doing Hero work during Internships."

She looked over to Eri and could see tears forming in her eyes.

"Right..." Sora muttered as he began to think of a solution for that one little problem. "Plus, Mom can't watch her because of work too."

Nezu smiled at this. "Perhaps, one of the teachers could watch her." He proposed, getting the trio's attention. "While having a child on campus would be considered questionable, it can be exceptional, given the circumstances. I can discuss this with Aizawa or Ms. Solon about watching Eri while you all focus on the internships. Since you'll be interning with me, you can come by to check with her during breaks. Does this work for the both of you?" 

Sora and Ayumi figured that this was the best they were going to get and looked at Eri. She looked upset at the idea, her glossy eyes fixed on the floor.

"Hey, don't worry," Sora said doing his best to comfort her. "I told you, no here wants to hurt you. We'll still be around. I promise."

"You do?" Eri asked while looking up at Sora with her red eyes, both in pupil and skin from the crying.

Ayumi then softly placed her hand on her head, rubbing it a little with a warm smile on her face. "Yeah, we do. Like Nezu said, we can see you during breaks for the Internships."

"Okay..." Eri silently mutters.

DINGDINGDINGDING!

"That's the bell, young ones. You should get moving." The principal said.

"Yeah." Sora sighed, before grabbing his bag and the empty lunch bowls as Ayumi packed up her own container and picked up Eri.

"Well, looking forward to working with you, Nezu." She told him, kindly.

"Likewise." The principal replied back, before watching as the trio walk out.


Class 1-A: Afternoon 

The class had been at a stump at what to pick. Many of them had gotten several offers or none, but they were at a fork in the road when it came down to it.

"Hey, have you guys decided on what pro-agency you're going to yet?" Mina asked as she had been slumped over on her desk.

"No." Ojiro answered. "Deciding on where to go, is a bit more difficult than I thought it was going to be."

"You said it." Tsuyu said.

"Well I decided where I'm going to go!" Mineta said. "I'm going to go to Mt. Lady's!"

"Mineta, you're not thinking about doing something perverted are you--ribbit?" Tsuyu asked him.

"NO! I'M NOT!! " Mineta shouted.

Cyrus then said to him with a leer as he remained unconvinced, "Uh huh..says the dude that used Momo as a way to get through the Obstacle Race?"

"COME ON, HADO! DON'T BRING THAT UP! " Mineta shouted embarrassingly.

"By the way, Mimi, you made it pretty far in the tournament." Kiba said. "I thought for sure you would get offers."

"Right?" Mina said, "It's a total bummer!"

"Hey Deku, how about you?" Ochaco said as she turned to him. "Have you decided on--"

She stopped herself, when most of the group had been taken back when they saw Izuku mumbling as usual.

"Thereareonlyfortyheroeswho'lltakeussolookinguptheirspecialtiesandsplittingthemintogroups..." Izuku said mumbling aloud, lost in his own little world.

"Oh wow, there he goes again.." Kiba said with a sigh.

"It's practically an art!" Most of the class had said.

"Yo, Earth to Seaweed!" Reina called out to the boy.

Izuku soon jumped when he saw that everyone looked at him. "Oh, I'm sorry!" Izuku said, "I was lost in thought--"

Cyrus gave him a reassuring pat "It's okay, man. We're used to it by now."

"You're really thinking about this carefully, huh?" Tsuyu asked.

"What about you, Uraraka?" Reina asked as she leaned on a desk. "Did you decide already?"

"Actually, yeah!" Ochaco said, surprising them.

"Really?" Mina asked.

"Where to?" Ojiro added.

"Battle Hero: Gunhead's Agency!" Ochaco soon replied.

After hearing that, their jaws practically dropped. Kiba then said in a surprised tone, "For real?!"

"But Gunhead's a huge battle type!" Izuku said, "You're really going there, Uraraka?"

"Yup!" She replied, punching the air. "I got an offer from them!"

"Huh, funny." Reina said. "Knowing you, I'd thought you were going for more of the rescue type like Thirteen."

"Ultimately, that's the plan." She said, "But--After fighting Bakugo and talking to Sora at the Sports Festival made me think--The stronger I get, the more possibilities I'll have! If I only do what I want, I'll have a narrower perspective."

"I see." Izuku said, sounding impressed.

Cyrus hummed in agreement. "That is a great point. Better to be prepared in all situations."

"By the way Deku, I've been meaning to ask..." Ochaco said, before she took note of Izuku's shaking body, "... This has been bothering me for a while, but... Are you trembling?"

"Yeah, are you nervous about the internships or something?" Reina asked him.

"Oh no, it's not that..." Izuku said, with his classmates just now noticing that he was only centimeters off of his chair. "... It's the air chair exercise."

AIR CHAIR!? " Ochaco and Mina exclaimed.

YEAH AIR CHAIR! " Kiba then told them, " THIS METHOD HELPS BUILD STAMINA! "

"You mean to say he's been like this the whole time in class!?" Ochaco asked in surprise.

"No way!" Mina said in awe.

"That's such an old fashioned exercise though." Mineta said.

"What are you saying?" Ojiro interjected. "The isometric muscles contraction of the air chair means it's an easy way to train without moving!"

"I know!" Kiba said. "Cap showed me that trick before!"

"Really!?" Mina asked in amazement. "You do this exercise too, Kibi?!"

"Yep, he taught me this a while back!" He said.

"That's actually true, believe it or not."

Hearing the voice, everyone turned to see Sora and Ayumi walk in with Eri in the latter's hands.

"Ukashi!" Toru greeted.

 "And Ayumi too!" Tsuyu added before taking notice of Eri. "Ribbit, it's that girl from before."

"Oh right, that reminds me," Cyrus started. "After you two left, most of the class has been wondering and asking questions about the little girl that you two brought here."

 "They're not the only ones who are also curious about the kid." Reina added, referring to herself, Cyrus, and Kiba. 

 "What kind of questions?" Ayumi asked.

"Like who's the girl?" Jirou asked her.

"Why is she with you guys?" Sato asked the pair.

"Yeah, why? I need to know." Toru begged Sora.

"Need to? Really?" Sora raised an eyebrow.

"Fine, I want to know. Can I know?" Toru asked.

The Red Ranger let out a low sigh. "Sorry, but we can't really go into it. All I can say is that her name is Eri and she's currently staying with me at the moment."

Bobbing Eri up in her arms, Ayumi smiled down at her. "It's okay, sweetie. They just want to meet you."

Eri, overwhelmed and bashful, hid close to the Pink Ranger. But she quickly greeted the curious and watchful students, barely mumbling out with a shy wave. "H-Hi..."

"Oh my God..." The Rangers looked to the rest of the class and saw that most of the females have lost their color and were completely white as they stared at Eri.

"She's..." The white Ochaco muttered.

"So..." The white Mina whispered.

"CUTE!" Toru and Momo yelled as suddenly the four girls quickly started to swarm the two girls with all the girls giggling uncontrollably at the unicorn's overwhelming cuteness. Even Jiro was trying her best not to go over to the younger girl and pinch her little cheeks.

"She's adorable!" Tsuyu, being one of the few females to not bolt from her seat to go to Eri, said with her usual blank face being broken as the frog girl grinned and blushed as she looked at Eri.

"She's like an adorable little cinnamon roll!" Toru gushed with her uniform swaying back and forth.

"Mmmmm..." Eri's cheeks turned a bit pink at the constant compliments she was getting, but her shyness still took over her as she completely hid her face in Ayumi's neck.

"Aaaaawww." Ochaco gushed at the girl's shyness. "She is precious!"

"Heheh, yeah..." Ayumi sheepishly chuckled. "She's just not used to being around so many people at once."

"Aaaww, there's no need for that Eri. We're really nice!" Mina chimed in but that smile increased ten-fold when she saw the horn on Eri's head. "Oh my gosh...she has a horn! She had a horn! Kirishima! We have a new horn buddy!" 

"Really? Right on !" Kirishima laughed and gave a thumbs up.

"Ukashi, if you ever need some more clothes for Eri, just tell me right away, ok?" Momo told the Red Ranger with a bubbly smile on her face as Eri continued to get smothered by the girls. "I have some old dresses that would look absolutely precious on her!"

"Oh yeah, that'd be great!" Sora nodded, taking Momo up on her offer.

Most of the guys in the class sweat dropped at the display, although they couldn't really argue due to most of them agreeing that Eri was indeed super cute. Although, Mineta was seen seething with jealously at Sora due to the fact that most of the girls were crowding around him earlier due to the little child.

Nearby, the other Rangers watched on with various expressions.

"Huh." Kiba hummed, placing his hands behind his head. "Still can't believe how much attention those two are getting." 

"Can you blame them? I mean, they just showed up out of nowhere with a kid today." Reina pointed out.

"Eh, she is kinda cute." 

Cyrus folded his arms in thought. "I'm more concerned about where she came from. Earlier, she was giving off a fearful vibe."

Reina and Kiba blinked owlishly before turning to look at each other, and then towards where Sora, Ayumi, and Eri are. As the Black/Green and Yellow Rangers stared at Eri, they couldn't help but think about- and agree with- what Cyrus said about the horned girl. 


Later that Day -

Before anyone knew it the school day came to an end, and as per the usual it had ended the same way as it always did.

The Rangers were about to head out, but Ochaco and Izuku walked over to them. "Hey, you guys." She said. "Wanna walk together?"

"Actually, there's something we gotta talk about." Sora replied, gesturing to himself and the other Rangers. "You guys go on ahead."

"Oh okay. Iida, come with u..." She turned and noticed that Tenya wasn't there, kinda surprising her. "Huh."

The group soon noticed that Tenya wasn't in his seat, instead he was gone. "Hey, where did the Class Secretary go?" Kiba questioned.

"He probably decided on where he wants to intern and went to turn in his slip to the staff room." Cyrus assumed. 

"That reminds me, did you guys decide on where you're going to intern?" Izuku asked the Rangers.

"Yup!" Ayumi replied, holding Eri in her arms. "We decided on it during lunch. We just gotta talk about it with the rest of the team."

This got Kiba, Reina, and Cyrus' attention.

"Alright then..." When Izuku opened the door to the hallway, he was greeted by an all too familiar Hero as said Hero announced, "HAHAHAHAHA! I AM HERE IN A BIZARRE POSITION!"

"All Might!?" Izuku questioned. "Um...yeah, what's that about?"

"Yeah, where's the fire, man?" Sora asked.

"No reason, Young Ukashi. I just needed to borrow Young Midoriya for a moment." All Might sounded kinda nervous, which honestly surprised the team, as they have never seen the man so nervous in his buff state. "Come with me for a sec."

"Uh...sure. Okay." Izuku responded, then turned to the group. "Be back soon."

"Sure thing, Small Might," Reina said, then chuckled. "Heh, imagine you picked that as your hero name!"

"Hehe, yeah, sure," Izuku said, nervously laughing as he joined All Might and left to someplace private.

"Well that just happened." Sora commented.

"All Might?" Eri asked with a head tilt.

"That's right. He's the No.1 Hero around here." Ayumi told her.

"What do you think All Might wanted with Deku?" Ochaco wondered out loud.

"Maybe he's worried about Izuku doing any internships that involve combat because of his Quirk." Kiba guessed.

"Hmm. Maybe." She agreed. "Do you think he'll be okay if he does do that though?"

"He'll be fine." Cyrus reassured her. "If anything, I'd say he needs someone to teach him how to fight. He can't just rely on breaking his bones all the time to win."

"I guess you're right about that." Ochaco replied. "Well, I'm gonna wait for him at the entrance while you guys talk."

"Sounds good." Sora nodded.

"Alright. See ya soon, Eri." The brunette waved before she walked out of the classroom.

Once the girl was gone, Reina turned to the Red and Pink Rangers with her arms crossed. "Okay, I assume we're gonna get some answers now?"

"Yeah, like why are you guys with a toddler?" Kiba asked. "Though, I'm not complaining about it."

"Did something happen?" Cyrus wondered aloud.

Sora and Ayumi looked at each other before nodding, then turned back to them.

"Okay, everyone listen up because I'm going to explain this once." Sora said as he began to tell them about the 2 day event.


After a few minutes of explaining in detail everything from meeting Eri and Chisaki, fighting and defeating the villain, reading both his and Eri's memories, and learning about Eri's Quirk and Chisaki's plan to destroy hero society. When he was done explaining, the Rangers (except Ayumi) were beyond shocked and disturbed by what they learned about the yakuza villain.

"What the what...?" Kiba said, unable to find the right words.

"How... Why..." Cyrus was unable to think straight with mixed feelings of shock, confusion, and anger. "To make a drug that erases a person's quirk by using the blood and flesh of a little girl is just wrong. Who could ever do something like that? Especially to a child!?" 

"Scumbags...Wretched, disgusting scumbags, that's what." Reina snarled, balling her fist up.

"Yeah," Ayumi agreed, holding Eri tightly. "Which is why we're going to do everything in our power to return Eri's happiness back to her." she declared.

"Then, you can count me in too." Cyrus said with a determined look. "I want to help Eri."

"I'm in too. That little girl needs to forget everything about those bast...villains." Reina said as well.

"I'm practically the life of the party, so you know I'm in!" Kiba stated. "But anyway, it's nice to meet ya, Eri! I'm Kiba Mason!"

Eri looked at the Yellow Ranger before burying herself into Ayumi and letting out a quiet, "H-Hi..."

"Sorry about that, Kiba" Ayumi said to the ginger-haired boy with a sheepish expression. "She's a bit shy."

"Hey, its alright." Kiba reassured her with a grin. "I have some experience dealing with shy people." 

"Don't worry, they're friends of ours." Sora told Eri as she looked over at him. "That's Kiba. The other two are Reina and Cyrus. They're Power Rangers, like us."

The little girl looked surprised by this. "Really?"

"Nice to meet you." Cyrus said to Eri, waving slightly. 

"Hey there, Tater tot." Reina greeted with a smile.

Eri tilted her head. "Tater Tot?"

"That's just Reina's nickname for you. She sometimes gives nicknames to people she's met." Cyrus informed her.

"Yeah, like how her nickname is Rei." Ayumi added in.

"Rei..Rei?"

"Yeah. Auntie Rei-Rei!" Kiba nodded, giving the younger girl a thumbs up.

"What!?" Reina exclaimed, turning her head to yell at him when...

"Auntie Rei-Rei." 

"Guh..." Whatever defenses the Black/Green Ranger had, they came crumbling down at the sight of the little girl's pleading face. "W-Well...that works, I guess."

Eri then looked at Kiba and Cyrus. "Uncle Kiba and Uncle Cyrus."

"M-Me?" The Blue Ranger asked in surprise, while Kiba looked a bit shocked before he clutched his heart.

"Ahh, my heart! Oh, my heart!" He said, being overloaded from the Eri's cuteness before falling backwards.

Sora then leaned towards Ayumi and whispered in her ear, "Should I be worried that Eri just called Reina, Cyrus, and Kiba her aunt and uncles?"

Ayumi looked confused at this. "Why would you...?"

Kiba looked at the pair with a smirk. "So, does that make you two 'Mama and Papa?'"

Almost immediately after hearing what Kiba just said, both Sora and Ayumi blushed furiously and began stuttering as they struggled to find the right words to say. 

"W-What!?"

 But while the Red and Pink Rangers were busy being blushing messes, Eri looked up at them as she couldn't help but think about what Kiba said. 'Ayumi and Sora... as my Mama and Papa?' 

To Be Continued...

Notes:

And that was Chapter 21, and the 2nd part of our Internship/Paladin/Hero Killer Arc! This is an arc that I've been excited to get to for a very long time, ranging back from the sports festival, and it's going to be filled plenty of twists and action to throw at you guys!

Also, the Rangers are going to be interning with Nezu, thus not only giving them free reign to face any threat Alsatia sends, but also allowing them to work with the Police Department. Though the HSPC might not like that...

Eri's even begining to decide if she wants to be adopted, no exceptions!

(Hero Force Opening Theme)


Flashback - During the 2 Day Break

Hero Public Safety Commission Conference Room- Afternoon

Sitting in a small private room, was a middle-aged woman with a stoical and steely expression, possessing a set of turquoise eyes and ash-blonde hair that is slicked back. She wears a black suit jacket and dress along with a purple shirt and a necklace.

Her name is Sayaka Grant, the Public Safety Commission President who is the head of the Hero Public Safety Commission and is in charge of the Hero Association in Japan.

Next to her was a lanky middle-aged man with beige, chin length, messy hair. He is dressed in a formal black shirt with a white undershirt, his shirt is followed with equally black pants. He wears a loose tie and black shoes. He completes his look with a microphone for general speeches and commentating. His eyes are framed with small but noticeable bags caused by lack of sleep.

His name is Yokumiru Mera.

Sitting at the table with her were Nezu, All Might, Death Arms, Kamui Woods, Mount Lady, Backdraft, Edgeshot, Gang Orca, Best Jeanist, Ryukyu, Mirko, Endeavor, Hawks, as well as a few other pro heroes and people that work for the Hero Public Safety Commission.

One is an elderly-looking man with a long white beard, bald head, and pale orange eyes with black sclera. His Hero Costume is a full set of Japanese armor with a red cape wrapped around his torso. His helmet notably has one large horn pointing upwards.

Equipped Hero: Yoroi Musha, the former No. 9 Pro Hero.

Another one was a well-built man with black hair combed backward, with a streak of grayish-white hair running down from the center of his hairline. The back of his right hand had a layer of crust, probably due to his Quirk. His hero costume consisted of a black mask over his eyes, and attire similar to the armor Spartans would wear, including a green hooded cape and a black shirt that appears to be stitched down the middle with a red pattern.

His name is Shield Hero: Crust, and he was the No. 6 Pro Hero.

The last hero is a curvy woman with long blonde hair that is styled in curly locks in the front with folded curls in the back that is pressed by a curved plate and golden eyes with vertically slit pupils. Her most distinguishing feature is the three snakes that are seen protruding from her hair. In her hero costume, she wears a maroon dress with scale-like details, matching high heels, a choker, and golden snake-like bracelets on her wrists and ankles.

Her name is Snake Hero: Uwabami, she is a Pro Hero and a celebrity.

Also sitting at the table was Detective Tsukauchi and a man who looked like a dog.

He is a very tall, sturdily built man with the head of a beagle. The area around his eyes and his ears is a dark brown, the two sides separated by a tan line that runs down his forehead, widening at his muzzle, which is flecked with pale brown. He has a large, black nose and dark eyes, and, although the rest of his body is of normal human shape, his skin appears to be the same tan color as most of his face. He wears a suit, consisting of a dress shirt, and waistcoat, over which he wears an unbuttoned black blazer and matching dress pants underneath. He has a belt with a large buckle and a black and white tie that resembles a Dalmatian's coat.

His name is Kenji Tsuragamae, the chief of the Police Force. 

Currently, they were having a meeting to talk about the Rangers and the new threat to their world.

"Thank you all for coming on such short notice," Sayaka said as she finished her presentation to those assembled. "As you may all know, this meeting involves a certain group called the 'Power Rangers'." She said before pushing a button, activating hologram images for each one of the Rangers de-morph.

Now this got the attention of the whole room, as they were about to discuss the five vigilantes that turn the whole world upside down since last year. 

Not only had these colorful children accomplished something that no Pro hero alive to date has done, but they had done so in view of the public. Even more frightening was how they possessed technology that was unlike anything their world had seen before and used it to save the city. In short, it was an extreme success for this unknown entity and a loss for everyone else; the military, the hero community, and law enforcement had not done a thing.

All across social media, there was praise for the young people and disparaging words for the professionals who were supposed to handle the situation. It might be nothing, but more than likely, this could be the beginning of something big, something that could change the status quo permanently.

"It's about time we stopped dancing around them," Yoroi said under his breath.

"Sometime around the previous year, these five children first made their appearance during a sudden attack by a never before seen villain." Sayaka said, as a hologram showed a recording of Igeron's attack and the Rangers appearing to face him. "Since then,  their presence alone has taken most of the world by storm. Fortunately, U.A.'s Principal Nezu managed to convince the Power Rangers to give up being vigilantes and become proper heroes."

"These brats genuinely thinks of themselves as professional heroes," Endeavour said with a growl. "They're just overconfident kids who are too full of themselves. Why haven't they been removed from U.A yet?"

"Removed from U.A.? What are you talking about?" Uwabami asked the No. 2 as she looked at him with a raised eyebrow.

"Well, Endeavor believed that since these five were Quirkless, they had no right to be in U.A...ahh, I need a coffee." Mera explained with a groan.

"Isn't that a bit much? They might have done something risky, but I think they have good hearts. After all, we saw how they defeated that horseman villain." Edgeshot tells the others his opinion on the Rangers.

"Good hearts?! Are you endorsing this Unlicensed brats' actions?!" Endeavour shouted at the Ninja Hero.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not endorsing their actions, I'm just thankful they seem to be doing this to help people and not to become celebrities." Edgeshot clarified.

"So do we have any idea on who these young people, woof?" Kenji was the next to ask.

"Fortunately, yes. Principal Nezu was able to provide a bit of information on all of them." The HPSC Vice President said with a nod before continuing. "First up is Sora Ukashi, also known by the public as "Red Ranger" and the winner of the Sports Festival."

"Interesting, to think that somone born without powers would reign champion of the biggest Quirk event." Best Jeanist commented, getting a snarl from Endeavor. "Is there more?"

"According to the information, Ukashi stands as the leader of this group," Sayaka began to explain, "Based on his interactions with the students in U.A, he has a kind and compassionate personality, and yet during battle, he carries a fierce and steadfast demeanor, facing off against a enemy without losing his composure. He also displays an ability to adapt to the situation if it becomes too much for him."

"And what about his parents? If they know about Ukashi being the leader of these Power Rangers, surely they must have some opinions about it." Hawks questioned, taking more interest in the Rangers now.

 Tsukauchi then took that moment to speak up. "Actually, his mother is already well-informed about the situation. Serena Ukashi, one of my colleagues, is his legal guardian, seeing that she adopted him. And she has accepted to have him work as a Ranger."

"Adopted?" Ryukyu repeated with a raised eyebrow. "What of his real parents then?"

"Unfortunately, our search to uncover anything else about this boy has come up dry." The HPSC Vice President said with a sigh before continuing. "No birth records, no family, no history. It's like he never existed."

"But that's impossible. No one can just appear out of nowhere." Best Jeanist commented, surprised at the news. 

"Right, there's got to be something on him." Backdraft chimed in.

"There was absolutely nothing that we could find on him. Truth be told, this has left me rather perplexed." Sayaka said as everyone in the meeting looked confused. "It's almost as if he appeared out of nowhere one day without any prior history on him."

"Honestly, I have to say, this is a first for you guys. With how vast the HPSC resources and connections are and how deep you run through different government systems, there was nothing to be found around one kid." Hawks stated, having a feeling of how the Madam President felt right now.

The Hero Public Safety Commission was guaranteed to have access to such a thing as someone's background information, especially if it came at the request of someone in power like Sayaka Grant herself. Due to them being a law enforcement agency responsible for managing the interactions between Heroes and regular members of society as a whole and for investigating the most dangerous cases of criminality, the HPSC was one with great influential connections. Hence, why they were startled by the stark realization that nothing was coming up in any of the networks the HPSC had connections to could not find anything on the boy known as Sora Ukashi.

Mirko scoffed at the statement as she let out a low sarcastic chuckle at how they weren't able to find anything on Sora.

"From what Nezu learned from him, that's all the info we have on this Sora Ukashi. As far as we know, he doesn't legally exist. We've put in requests for governments across the globe to see to see if someone like him existed, but they all came up with nothing. No information, no birthplace, no nationality, no nothing. This kid is basically a ghost in the system. He doesn't exist." Sayaka said while rubbing her forehead in frustration at how it was impossible to find information on one kid. "Knowing that and the incident that occurred, several countries are now demanding that we hand him and the other Power Rangers over to the UN to handle their case. They also demanded we hand over all their equipment and technology, including those giant robots of theirs." She stated to the room.

"Typical. Of course other countries would want to take those vigilantes for themselves," Endeavor said with some amount of disdain.

"It's honestly not that surprising they would want the Power Rangers after everything that's happened." Gang Orca said with a hint of anger in his tone, having grown to like those kids.

"As for their equipment and technology, who's to say if it only works for anyone else?" Yoroi Musha questioned as that was interesting.

"Then we should take their equipment from them and give it to someone else more responsible." Endeavor suggested as he didn't like the idea of kids taking matters into their own hands.

"That's an excellent idea," Kamui Woods said, speaking for the first time since the start of the meeting. "It's better we have that technology handed to trained professionals!" He exclaimed.

"But what if it only works for them, dipshits?" Mirko asked rudely with narrow eyes as some thought about it, as she was looking forward to meeting these little rebels.

"Of course, as things are right now, that is not going to happen, as Nezu had already made countermeasures to make sure that the Power Rangers and their equipment remained here in Japan," Sayaka said before announcing something else next to everyone.

"I think the question we should ask is where did they get this stuff from and who made them?" Hawks asked the group. "Because I find it hard to believe that a couple of teenagers could make things like this."

"Unfortunately, that information is being kept secret by Nezu as he believed that the fewer the people who know about it, the better," Sayaka replied back.

"Of course that rat is involved in this," Death Arms said under his breath for no one to hear, while his face twisted into a scowl.

"In any case, let's move on to the next one." Sayaka said before continuing the meeting. "For his his companions, we have the Black Ranger, Reina Fukukado, younger sister of Emi Fukukado, also known as Ms. Joke."

Everyone looked intrigued at this. "Huh. So, Ms. Joke has a younger sister..." Hawks said, sounding impressed. "So what do we know of her?"

"Well, while appearing as the physically strongest, she also appears to be among the most sharp-tongued of the group. And from what I've gathered, she's even the second-in-command."

"Huh. A girl who takes no shit from anyone and takes charge? I like her." Mirko remarked in approval.

"Next up is Cyrus Hado. The Blue Ranger." Sakaya spoke up, getting Ryukyu's attention.

"Ahh, yes. He's Nejire's younger brother that she told me about." She hummed in thought.

"Indeed, and from Nezu's report, he appears to be the most intelligent of the group, making sound and reasonable theories while also being open-minded to learning new concepts. According to Sora, he has a high IQ of around 300 and could drew up schematics for many inventions when he was only eight." Sakaya informed.

"That has to be an exaggeration," Kamui Woods said.

"Maybe so, but based on his interactions with Nezu, he does appear to exhibit a great deal of intelligence." Sayaka confirmed before moving on. "For the forth member of the group, we have the Yellow Ranger, Kiba Mason. "He's considered a class clown, but is quite the unpredictable fighter who can get into his opponents' heads."

"So, a wild card." Gang Orca said with a nod.

"As if we don't have enough of those running around. The boy must have some kind of death wish to pull such a stupid stunt." Death Arms commented with a scoff and scowl. "He and those other kids get off scot-free, while we clean up their mess."

"Well, legally speaking, we can't arrest them during that time due to them being Quirkless." Hawks said awkwardly as when he and the other heroes learned about them not having any powers. Needless to say, it threw the Pro Heroes for a loop for a moment.

"Yes, it says it right here. The Current Vigilante Law only applies to the quirked, not the Quirkless." Best Jeanist confirmed to the people in the room by pulling out a book on quirk laws and reading it out loud.

"Huh? it only affects the quirked?" Yoroi Musha asked in confusion.

This made Endeavor angry; a Vigilante is a Vigilante regardless of who they are.

"Yeah. Since 80% of the population is quirked, people thought that there was no way a quirkless person would become a Vigilante until now," Edgeshot said with a nod.

"It looks like the Power Rangers have proven everyone wrong," Ryukyu commented with a smile at how the Rangers proved their hero system wrong.

A grin then formed on Crust's face. "It does warm my heart to see young people without our gifts showing that you don't need powers to be heroes."

"And last but not least, the final member of the Power Rangers," Sayaka said, getting everyone's attention back on her. "Which is quite the surprise, is none other than Ayumi Suzuni, the Pink Ranger and the daughter of the CEO of Suzuni Incorporated." She said, shocking the group of heroes as they learned who the last Power Ranger was.

"Wait, you're telling us that the daughter of one of the largest companies in the world is a Power Ranger? Woof." Kenji asked while sitting up from his chair in shock as this was news to him.

"Correct. Based on the report of her, even though she displays excellent proficiency with her abilities, that doesn't appear to be her greatest strength. Based on her interactions with her compainions and the U.A students, it seems her role in the group is that of emotional support, carrying an upbeat attitude and offering advice and consolation to those who need it."

"Leadership, strength, intelligence, comic relief, and emotional support," Best Jeanist looked rather impressed. "Seems like a very unique team."

"I know. Especially those girls! They're very cute! I'm differently going to invite them on my show as special guests!" Uwabami declared with multiple stars in her eyes, as her pride as a celebrity wouldn't let an opportunity like this slip away.

"This is all very interesting... and these children seem to be rather impressive individuals," Yoroi said. "But I'm expressing more concern about this new enemy that they've encountered."

That last part got everyone's attention. Sayaka then pulled up another hologram that appeared in the center of the room, showing the group a massive warship hovering above Earth. "What...What is that!?" Kamui Woods exclaimed in shock, standing up from his chair.

"That's the Flagship of Alsatia." Tsukauchi said, getting everyone's attention. "According to the Rangers and other sources, she's a royal space pirate and heir to the Imperial Army who seeks to dominate every world on site with her henchmen and enforcers. She has done this for over 10,000 years and now she seeks to conquer our world."

"What, you mean like aliens?" BackDraft questioned, with shock on his face.

"I know how this sounds, but I can vouch for this all being true." The Detective confirmed. 

"Which brings me to the next topic. The Power Rangers were meant to quit being vigilantes and become heroes by legal means just like Nezu planned, however, things have now changed with these aliens appearing in our world." She stated with a stern tone, then began playing clips of the Batzlers, Wolfbane, and Igeron wreaking havoc all over the city before the video switched to the Rangers fighting back against them. "The destruction they cause throughout the city was beyond anything we've seen before, even Pro Heroes stood no chance against them." The HPSC president stated, showing videos of Pro Heroes trying and failing to fight off the new enemy, but failed horribly with them being beaten to a pulp or killed, as each video hammered home the fact that they were powerless against the new threat. "After a thorough discussion with the U.A.'s Principal, we've decided to leave this matter to the Power Rangers."

There was a brief second of pure silence, as Kamui Woods and Death Arms had disapproved expressions at what the Madam President just suggested.

"Madam President, with all due respect, you can't be serious about leaving the fate of the entire country, let alone the world to a bunch of children playing hero, when there are so many other Pro heroes and soldiers in the world who are fully trained that would be better suited for this task," Death Arms tried to argue, as he didn't like this idea one bit.

"I'm very serious about this. This alien threat is like nothing we've dealt with before, and a good number of citizens and Pros lost their lives during their first attack," Sayaka explained with a sigh and her eyes closed at the words coming out of her mouth. "But the Power Rangers were somehow able to stop them. So the plan is to have them handle any more future attacks, while we should instead focus on evacuation efforts and "looking the other way" when they appear."

"But still, Madam President, you can't be serious! These vigilantes are still just kids that are breaking the law and disrupting the natural order of our society!" Kamui Woods pleaded with her about this future problem that needed to be dealt with before it was too late. "Because of their actions so far, there's been an increased rate in vigilante activity all over the country and reports of some students from Hero Schools dropping out to become vigilantes themselves!" He tried to tell the President as he couldn't believe what he just heard.

"Hey! Watch your mouth, you bastard!" Mirko shouted at the man in an angry tone that shut him up. "Those kids have more balls than any Pro I've seen throughout my life! At least they have the guts to not sit around and let shit happen when people are in trouble!"

"Rumi, please calm down," Ryukyu said, trying to calm down her hot-headed friend.

"Tch, whatever..." Mirko said while clicking her tongue and looking the other way.

"You've got to be kidding me," Endeavor muttered under his breath before shouting in rage at what he just heard. "You can't seriously be saying that we should allow these punk vigilantes to go around doing whatever the hell they feel like!" He protested angrily.

"Then, what will you have us do if this Alsatia woman launches another attack on the city, especially with one of those giant monsters?" Edgeshot pointed out.

"Yeah, Mister Pyro... let's hear your grand plan for this problem. How do we begin to fight against something like that?" Mirko asked the flame hero.

"This isn't up for negotiation, you three. I have already made my decision on this matter." Sayaka replied with a stern tone that left no room for argument and quieting the three heroes. "I understand what you are saying, but we have already lost a good number of heroes after this first attack, so do you believe we can survive another attack without them here?"

Hearing that made the people pause in silence, as some didn't have an answer to that question while some already knew what had to be done.

"As much as I don't want to admit it, we need the Power Rangers for any future monster attacks," Yoroi Musha said, speaking first with seriousness and understanding.

"Yes, I think this is for the best as well," Edgeshot said, nodding while closing his eyes. "After seeing these attacks, it's clear that we can't survive without their help."

"Understandable, given how bad the situation is if we're putting our fate in the hands of vigilantes." Best Jeanist gravely nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, right. I don't like the idea of other people fighting my battles for me, so the next time those creeps show up, I'm gonna be there to put them in the ground." Mirko said as she agreed to this, punching her fist into her palm.

"I agree, this matter might be way too much for us Pros to handle by ourselves, but we can't just leave those kids to deal with this threat alone." Ryukyu stated as well.

"Indeed, we'll be there to support them in this fight, no matter what." Gang Orca leaned forward, his creaking chair as loud as a bomb.

"The Power Rangers seem like good youngsters, and I for one will be happy to help them in their fight against this new threat." Crust said while feeling the need to help the HF team.

"These kids seem alright in my book... So hey, let's give them a shot." Hawks said with a shrug, as even he knew the high stakes in this.

"Have you all lost your damn minds?!" Endeavor snapped in fury while standing up from his chair. "You seriously can't be suggesting that we leave the safety of the whole nation in the hands of children!? They shouldn't even be U.A! Where are your pride as Pro heroes?!"

"Oh please, Endeavor, you're not fooling anyone." Best Jeanist spoke up with a look of suspicion on his face. "You're just mad that you're no longer the most popular flaming hero."

"Especially not after the "flying Endeavor" meme." Gang Orca added in with a smirk.

Endeavor's eyes practically began bulging out at the comment before sitting back down as he was livid with anger, but could not say anything else with the other heroes foolishly on board with this crazy idea to let those vigilantes do as they please.

Even Death Arms and Kamui Woods weren't pleased by this as well with them looking around at the heroes in the room with light glares.

"To summarize, we will allow the Power Rangers and U.A. to deal with all Alsatia-related activity from now on, while the Pros focus on rescue and evacuation efforts." Best Jeanist summarized that they all have learned. "But to be honest with you ma'am, I don't think you would approve of this idea of leaving this to a couple of vigilantes." He said to the woman.

"I do approve of this. Well, not 100%, but more like 50%. I'm honestly not 100% on board, but I do see the benefits of still having them around." Sayaka said with a sigh. "At least this way, the Power Rangers would be under our supervision, while also carrying out their mission to stop this new enemy."

"I agree with Miss President on this one." Hawks said while raising his hand as he spoke. "I wasn't personally there when these "aliens" first attacked, but even I can tell how screwed we heroes are against them and the type of damage they can cause if left unchecked. The Power Rangers seem like the best chance we have to fight these foes and already know what it is like to be in the real world in the life of wearing the Capes and Masks." He said while continuing. "Also, we don't know much about this space enemy. For all we know, Quirks might be useless on these guys, and we pretty much rely way too much on them to take down villains. So having these quirkless kids fighting this threat is probably the best opportunity for us at the moment."

Some of the Pro Heroes in the room could see the HPSC President and Hawks' point of view on having the five Quirkless kids dealing with the new threat to their world. But at least they can still keep an eye on the Rangers

"Then there is nothing more for us to discuss on this matter," Sayaka said as she gazed at everyone in the room with an unreadable expression. "The Rangers will be Nezu's problem from now on, as in two days' time, U.A. will begin their internships. Meaning, that should an attack happen, they will be there. Hopefully, we'll be able to learn more about this enemy." She suggested.

Flashback Ends


- Present Day; Tatooin Station -

"No way! You guys are gonna be interning with the principal!?" Mina exclaimed in surprise.

The next day came and the students were at the train station. With their costumes inside the school briefcases, they were ready to head to their internships. Though once they found out about the Rangers' internship, they were beyond shocked.

Reina shrugged casually. "Yep."

"Shocking, isn't it?" Kiba said, rubbing the back of his head.

"Honestly, we were just as surprised as you when Sora and Ayumi told us that." Cyrus chimed in. 

Ayumi then joined the conversation. "But at least this way, we still have Nezu's permission to go out and stop more of those attacks, should anything happen."

"Why the hell do you guys get to fight those villains!?" Bakugo yelled, being lost for words. Why the hell were these Quirkless extras given permission to fight villains, while he couldn't!?

"Because we're cool, that's why." Reina responded by flipping" to get "a smug grin, to which he responded by flipping her the bird.

"Well anyway..." Sora began, getting the others' attention. "If Nezu has us doing some patrolling near where you guys are interning, hopefully we'll have some time to check up on you and see how you all are doing."

"That sounds pretty cool!" Kirishima agreed.

"Hey, Mr. Aizawa is here!" Momo soon said as everyone turned to see the teacher walk up to them.

"Now then, everyone had their costumes, right?" He asked Aizawa. "Remember, you don't have permission to wear them out in public yet, and don't lose them or anything."

"Gotcha!" Mina shouted while lifting her case over her head.

"Speak properly! It's 'Yes, sir,' Ashido."

"Yes, sir..." Mina said with a pout, getting a pat on the shoulder by Kiba.

"Make sure you mind your manners with the other heroes during your internships. Now get to it."

"Yes, sir!" The class said in unison before dispersing. 

"Welp, looks like this is it." Reina said, with the team turning to their friends and classmates.

"Indeed." Momo added. "Best Wishes to you all!"

"Likewise, Momo." Cyrus repiled.

"See ya in a week, Mimi." Kiba grinned, holding up a fist to Mina.

"You too! Kick some serious butt out there, Kibi!" The Acid Quirk user chirped, bumping her fist to the Yellow Ranger's.

"Good luck on your Internship, Sora." Izuku told the Red Ranger with a smile, "I'm not as familiar with Principal Nezu as the others, so it must be a pretty recently established one. Be sure to let me know what Heroes you might meet, okay?" 

Sora couldn't help but smile at just how earnestly eager to learn everything he could Izuku always was, even in the face of his own internship. "Sure thing, man. Congratulations on getting yours too, Izuku. You more than earned it."

"I got an idea! Let's make a group chat tonight, okay?" Ayumi soon said with a smile.

"That sounds like a good idea!" Ochaco said.

"I'm down with that!" Kirishima joined.

"Me too." Shoto added. 

At that moment, both Sora and Izuku turned their attention to the currently departing Tenya. As if thinking the same thing, the two quickly took off after their class secretary, the same unspoken worry hanging over both their heads.

"Iida, wait up!" Sora instinctively called out, thankfully bringing the rigid boy to a stop, only looking back to his sudden company over his shoulder. As tall and formally as he always stood, and as serious as he always looked, there was a strange, unusual air about him that Sora immediately felt as soon as he and Izuku got close. Of course, there was no question as to why that was. Especially after the phone call from his mother during the Sports Festival.

Over the previous week, the news had officially been given that his older brother, Ingenium, had officially been left in such a thoroughly injured state, that he would never be able to fully recover, and would therefore have to retire from Pro Heroism. To have that icon cut down so cruelly, there was no telling just what had been going through Tenya's head this past week, and even now. But still, they weren't going to let that stop them from saying what they knew needed to be said; what they knew he needed to hear now more than ever.

"Look, man...you ever need someone to talk to, you can always talk to us. Holding in whatever...whatever might be going through your head right now...it's just poison." Sora's outreach was as heartfelt as could possibly be, while Izuku emphatically nodded in kind.

"He's right. We're friends, after all."

For a few incredibly tense moments, Tenya didn't say anything. It was impossible to tell if he was even taking their words into consideration, he was so stone-faced. But finally, in the end, he lifted his head to meet both his classmates' and friends' gazes and answered them with a simple: "Sure."

And with that, he just turned and walked away to catch his train, leaving Izuku speechless and visibly concerned.

But for Sora, he could see right through his friend's facade. He knew there was something going on with Iida that he's not telling him. He could feel the distress, pain, and anger coming from within his friend. Sora really did want to help Iida, but unfortunately, now wasn't the time.

After bidding one another farewell with respectful and acknowledging handshakes and nods, everyone finally parted ways.


U.A - Nezu's Office

"Oh? A Paladin Ranger?"

With the principal office of U.A, the school dean was speaking with Katrina, who stood in front of his desk in her hologram form as she informed him on a certain event during the Sports Festival. 

"That's correct. According to Reina, Cyrus, Ayumi, and Kiba, they encountered him while they were dealing with an emergency during the Sports Festival and then he just left without revealing his identity." Katrina nodded in confirmation, showing a hologram video of the Paladin Ranger's appearance to his depature.

Nezu hummed in thought. "I see. And you have no idea who this mystery Ranger is or where he came from?"

Katrina shook her head in response. "Sadly, no, otherwise I'd tell you everything about him. So far, all we know about him is that he can manipulate ice, can hold his own in a fight, has an aggressive temper- due to how he acted towards the other Rangers, and has his own agenda that we still don't know about. As for how he came to be, like I told the Rangers, I only gave them five morphers when I chose them to be Rangers; I honestly don't know how he came into possession of a sixth Morpher or who requested him to help save the Rangers when they were in trouble." 

 From Katrina's words and the video, Nezu could get a general idea of this Paladin character. He seemed straightforward and to the point, preferring not to waste any time, pretty much the exact opposite of the Rangers.

"I'm sure you'll have all of your questions answered if we ever get the chance to meet him." Nezu assured her.

"We can only hope so." Katrina replied.

"Forgive me, but I have to ask about the unknown agenda that you mentioned," Nezu said, getting the A.I. mentor's attention. "If the intentions of this Paladin Ranger aren't heroic and makes him a serious threat, then are your Rangers capable of stopping him?"

Katrina looked at the principal in surprise before taking a deep breath and responding with, "After seeing what the Paladin Ranger is capable of, and should it ever come to that, I honestly hope so." She then looked at the floor and began muttering under her breath. "Cause I don't want to go through that kind of pain again if he decides to kill them."

Nezu appeared to have heard that as he looked at her in confusion and in concern.

To Be Continued...

Notes:

Finally done! 

As you can see, a meeting between the HPSC and several Pros was seen on how to deal with the Rangers, though some are against it and will try to take matters in their own hands. Though the entire organization will be considered antagonistic to the Rangers.

Apologies for the long wait! A new chapter of the Paladin Arc! Hope you guys enjoy it! Here we go!

(Hero Force Opening Theme)


In Space - Alsatia's Warship 

 Scrozzle rushed into the throne room before kneeling down with his head bowed. "Your Grace! You summoned me?" He asked. 

 Alsatia sat in her throne, one leg crossed over the other. "Correct. I wanted to know if you learned anything about that new Ranger." 

 The robotic genius lifted his head. "Umm...Unfortunately, nothing yet. This new Ranger appeared out of nowhere and I can't make heads or tails of him. Though from what I've seen, he doesn't seem to be friendly with the Rangers either based on their previous interaction."

 For the first time ever, Alsatia was at a crossroads. She closed her eyes, weighing her options concerning the mysterious Ranger. "After seeing how powerful this Paladin Ranger is in battle, he could be a value asset to me, perhaps even become one of my trump cards. However, he stopped my clone from finishing off the Rangers and destroyed him, showing that he wouldn't join my cause. Pity. Wait... perhaps there is another way."

 ​The Heir to the Empire opened her eyes and stood up from her throne, getting ready to announce her plan. 

 ​"Scrozzle, send down the Batzlers to draw out this new Ranger. And once he shows himself... have them overwhelm him with their numbers. Then, after he's been destroyed, have them deliver me his Morpher. With it, our war with the Power Rangers will come to an end." 

 "But of course, your Highness." Scrozzle replied with a bow. 


After leaving the train station and bidding their friends farewell for their internships, the Rangers all arrived at the U.A parking area, where Cyrus was telling them about what transpired during his two day break.

"...And with the help from Momo's family, the Yaoyorozus have offered to be our sponsor and help us by promoting our Ranger Danger App," Cyrus said to them with a smile.

"Seriously? Her family was willing to support us that much?" Reina asked in shock.

"After everything that's happened, Momo became really interested in our powers so she called her parents and told them about us," The Blue Ranger explained with a nod. "One thing led to another and here we are."

"Wow, it's good to have friends in higher places," Sora commented out loud.

Ayumi laughed a bit. "Yeah, no kidding."

"So, did anything else happen between you and the Vice Rep when you were at her house during the break?" Kiba asked with a teasing smirk on his face.

"W-What!? No!" Cyrus exclaimed.

That's when they noticed a police helicopter and a police car within the lot.

 "Have those always been there or are we just noticing them now?" Kiba asked his friends. 

 "Not that I know of." Cyrus replied with a head tilt while holding his chin in his fingers. 

 Reina then shrugged her shoulders. "I never really paid attention, so..." 

 And that was when Ayumi noticed something familiar about the police car in the parking lot. "Hey, Sora, isn't that your mom's car?" She asked her friend while pointing at the police car. 

Sora then looked at the car that Ayumi was pointing at before nodding. "Yeah, it is. But what is she doing here at UA?"

 He pondered over this before he and the others suddenly heard their morphers beeping, causing the Red Ranger to answer his morpher. "Kat, what's up?" 

"Rangers, head to Nezu's office." Katrina explained. "It's urgent."

"We're on our way." Sora told her.

"What was that about?" Kiba asked in confusion.

"Don't know, but let's not keep the bossman waiting." Reina said, getting a nod from the others.

Then the five of them bolted into the school, making their way through the halls before finally reaching their destination.

Sora knocked on the door and waited. "Come in!" Nezu's voice called out from within.

Hearing that, Sora opened the door to see Nezu behind his desk with Serena, Detective Tsukauchi, and a few officers in his office.

"Ah, welcome, Rangers!" Nezu chirped happily, as if everything was okay. "I'm sure you're all familiar with Ms. Ukashi and Detective Tsukauchi?"

 "Yeah, we are." The Red Ranger replied, before turning to Serena. "Mom, what are you and Detective Tsukauchi here?"

"And what's with the helicopter in the parking lot?" Reina questioned, gesturing to the window.

"Well, we actually came here with some news for you guys." Serena explained before Tsukauchi stepped in.

 "A couple of days ago after the Sports Festival, the Hero Public Safety Commission- or HPSC for short- held a meeting with most of the Pro Heroes of Japan about you five." 

Kiba started to look pale as he sweated profusely. "Wait, we're not getting arrested, are we!?"

  Tsukauchi shook his head. "Normally, you would. But considering that you're Quirkless and the current situation, that's not the case."

"What do you mean?" Cyrus questioned with a raised eyebrow.

"Well, this hasn't been publicly announced yet, but the HPSC has given the green light for you all." Serena said, surprising the whole group.

"Huh? Does that mean..." Sora uttered as Nezu answered his question.

"Yes, the Power Rangers are officially seen as this world's defenders against Alsatia and her forces!" Nezu exclaimed with his hands in the air.

The Rangers all looked shocked by this. "Wait what!?"

"Really?! That's great news!" Ayumi said with joy.

"I'm surprised that the Pros would agree to something like that so easily, and this quickly too," Reina said with a bit of surprise.

"Oh, there were plenty of Pros who were against it, but Madam President managed to sway more people in favor of this. Given how bad the threat we're facing this time is, the people at the HPSC soon came to realize that our world's heroes aren't enough to deal with Alsatia." Tsukauchi explained to them.

"Not to mention that your heroic actions also played a key role in changing their minds." Serena threw in.

"Yeah, we are pretty awesome." Kiba rubbed his nose proudly.

"Wow. I actually had no idea that our actions could result in something this big." Cyrus commented in awe.

"Well, I guess there goes the plan of keeping it a secret..." Reina muttered lowly.

Ayumi scooted neat her. "Yeah, but at least we'll hopefully have some support from the HPSC." She stated optimistically.

"Right." Sora chimed in. "And that should make our job of protecting Earth from Alsatia and her forces much easier." 'Though why do I have a bad feeling...?'

Suddenly, Serena's face had an uneasy look as she looked at Sora and Ayumi. "Before I forget, did you two tell them about... you know?"

"If you're referring to Eri, then they did." Cyrus told the policewoman.

 "Yeah, and we agreed to help them and the kid, too." Reina added in, with Cyrus and Kiba nodding in agreement.

"Yeah, Uncle Kiba's got her back!" The Yellow Ranger proclaimed proudly.

Serena blinked owlishly as she looked at Kiba in confusion. "Uncle Kiba...?"

"That's just Eri's nickname for him." Ayumi explained. 

"Ah, ok, got it." Serena nodded before noticing something. "Speaking of Eri, where is she?"

"Oh, she's currently being looked after by a friend of ours." Sora informed her. "Why? Is something wrong?"

"Not really. It's mostly about -"

Suddenly, she was cut off as the Rangers' Morphers started beeping, getting everyone's attention.

Ayumi then opened her comms. "What is it, Alpha?"

"Rangers! It's Alsatia!" The robot's voice replied urgently. "She's on the attack again!"

Hearing this, the room grew tense as a hologram screen emerged from Ayumi's Morpher, allowing them all to see the Batzlers marching down a street and attacking everything as people began to run away from them.

"They're back..." The blonde uttered lowly.

"Where are they, Al?" Kiba asked.

"They're currently three miles ahead of you! I've marked their location on your map. Be careful, Rangers."

"We will. Heading there now!" Cyrus told him.

"Affirmative."

After the conversation ended, the Rangers looked at each other.  "Is anyone else curious about why Alsatia is sending her Batzlers to attack the city?" Kiba asked outloud.

 "It's Alsatia. When is she not doing that?" Reina snorted in reply.

 Cyrus frowned in determination. "We can think about her reason for doing that, later. Right now, people are in danger."

 "She's right."  Tsukauchi agreed as he stepped forward. "You five can deal with the Batzlers while Serena and I, along with any available officers, focus on getting the civilians to safety." 

 "And feel free to use the helicopter in the parking lot." Serena added in.

 Sora nodded at this. "Thanks, Mom. Principal Nezu, do you mind if my friends and I get our Hero uniforms from our lockers?" 

Before Sora could say anything to his team after turning to them, Ayumi placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Before we do that, I think we should tell Eri about what we're doing," Ayumi suggested. "I mean, it wouldn't feel right to just leave without saying anything to her."

Sora began to think about what Ayumi said before sighing. "You're right," He agreed with the Pink Ranger before turning to the other Rangers. "You guys go on ahead. Ayumi and I will catch up after we're done talking to Eri."

"Alright then." Reina nodded.


In another part of the city, Hundreds of people were ran screaming throughout the streets, several Pro heroes and law enforcement members were doing their best to fight off the Batzlers, but with little success. The footsoldiers seemed to come from every direction. They jumped over cars, leaped on people, slash them with their weapons, blast them with their lasers, kill them, it was a complete shit show.

Elsewhere, Scrozzle was watching the chaos from high on one of the building's rooftops. The destruction he was witnessing was all part of his plan to capture his quarry, similar to one of the methods a hunter would use to lure their target into a trap.

"Ahh, yes! This should be more than enough to draw out that new Ranger." He thought to himself when suddenly he picked up something, causing him to turn to where he heard the noise before he noticed a helicopter that looked like it was approaching the area the Batzlers were in. "And the others. Perfect, two birds with one stone!"


Within the helicopter were Sora, Reina, Ayumi, Cyrus, Kiba, with the Rangers now decked out in their HF uniforms as they neared their destination.

"Good evening and welcome to Blue Air flight 1012. We're looking at an on-time arrival into downtown Musutafu." Cyrus announced jokingly.

Sora then slid up to his friend. "Okay, Captain, we got some Batzlers on the looseon the loose. How do we find him?" He asked, playing along.

As if to answer his question, they then heard an explosion below them, which caused the duo to look down to see a red fireball in the city.

"Uh, start with the giant fireball?" Cyrus asked.

"Sounds good!" Sora replied with a nod. They then left the cockpit and walked up to the door entrance, where the others are prepared.

"Now this is way to travel!" Kiba exclaimed as he threw his hands out wide.

"Still don't get why we didn't just use the Valiant Cycles or you know...teleport there!" Reina remarked with an eye twitch.

"Hey...I've never been in a helicopter before, okay?" Kiba defended with a shrug. "Plus, it felt like a good idea in my head."

"Idiot..."

She then noticed that Ayumi was quiet as she had a worried look on her face. "Hey, you're not getting cold feet on us, are you?" She asked, nudging the girl with her elbow.

The Pink Ranger blinked at this. "What? Oh, no. I'm just worried about Eri. She looked so sad when we told her about this..."

"Hey," Sora placed a hand on Ayumi's shoulder, causing her to look at him. "If we get back to U.A. after this mission, you and I can spend as much free time as we want with Eri. I promise."

Ayumi blushed at this before smiling. "Yeah!"

Before Sora could say anything else, he and the other Rangers heard his cellphone ringing, so he pulled out his phone and saw that his mom was calling him before he answered it. "Hey, Mom. What's up?" 

"Sora. Tsukauchi and I will assist the local Pros with evacuating the civilians while you and the others deal with those creatures." Serena informed him.

Nodding in understanding, Sora replied back. "Got it. See ya in a bit." After that, he then hung up and put his phone back in his pocket.

At that moment, a red alarm blared behind the Rangers, getting their attention.

"We're over the drop zone!" The Co-Pilot announced.

Hearing that, Sora rolled his neck. "All right, here we go. Showtime!" He declared as he slid the door open and they all looked down at the city below with the wind blowing through their hair and uniforms.

"Well, at least we know it's not Godzilla or Hello Kitty down there!" Kiba snickered, getting a laugh from the others.

"What's the plan?" Reina asked, looking towards Sora.

"Simple, let's go give them a proper Earth welcome." The Red Ranger replied, getting a smirk in return.

"Now that's a plan I can get behind."

The Rangers then turned to face the co-pilots, who watched them from the cockpit.

"Talk about low-budget flights." Kiba teased. "No food or movies? We're out of here!"

He then proceeded to jump out of the helicopter, getting a sigh from Cyrus.

"I know I already said this during the Sports Festival, but why are we Team Sonic all of a sudden?" He questioned out loud.

With that, he and the others all proceeded to jump out of the helicopter in unison, and they all turned and pointed their noses to the city below. They soon reached Kiba as they all plummeted together while they reached the skyscrapers.

Soon, they pressed the red Morph button on their morphers, causing them to start glowing red, black, blue, yellow, and pink. They then thrusted their left arms out together. "Call of the Hero!" The team shouted in unison as they pulled their left arms back and used their right hands to spin the Morphers' top half at the same time.

They were then engulfed in the lights of their respective colors, morphing them into their HF suits.

After that, the Rangers all then landed in the middle of a destroyed road, and then looked at the destruction.

"Oh, man!" Kiba said, rubbing the back of his helmet. "Look at this mess."

"This is definitely the Empire's handiwork." Reina deduced.

"And the ones responsible are here. Look!" Ayumi said, pointing down the street.

Looking ahead, they saw that an uncountable amount of Batzlers were right in front of them.

"Holy crap!" Kiba exclaimed. "That's way more than last time."

"Cy, can you tell how many there are?" Sora asked his friend.

The Blue Ranger scanned the area. "Let's see...if my calculations are correct, I'd say...about 200 in total!"

Sora whistled at that in reponse.

"Well, we know they aren't that strong." Ayumi explained. "But their numbers are a problem."

"Pfft, this is nothing compared to everything we've faced so far." Reina muttered. "We can take 'em."

"And since we're working with the Police now, we can give them a Ranger-style lesson in law enforcement." Sora smirked.

"I like the way you think, Cap." Kiba said, looking over at the team leader.

The Rangers then spun the dials on their morphers, right before a gumball-sized hologram of the SPD logo, that consisted of a small, silver, rectangular badge with the letters 'SPD' on it, with another badge on the right with the word 'Police' on it, with a wolf/dog's head below the word, floated on the dials' faces.

"Legendary Ranger Mode, SPD!" They called out before they slammed their dials down. Soon, a key appeared in each of their hands as it was revealed to be the SPD Ranger Keys.

The team then held up their SPD Ranger Keys before flicking them open. "SPD Emergency!" They called out before inserting the keys into their morphers' slots and turning them, becoming engulfed in bursts of light.


(Morph sequence - SPD)

Ayumi held her morphes up, which glowed pink, as a hologram of a Pink Ranger suit came up in front of her. It had sliver metal bands on its wrists and legs above the boots, with a black line in the middle, white gloves and neck, the 'Police' badge symbol on the right arm and the center of the helmet, with the rectangular 'SPD' badge on its right upper chest. It had the number 5 in black, her blade was thin, the bottom of her visor was curly, and had five black marks above it. She backflipped away as she morphed up, before she landed crouched down, with her arms spread out, then her helmet appeared on her.

"SPD Pink!" she shouted, holding her right hand out, before kicking her right leg out while waving her arms, before she held her right hand out behind her, and her left in front of her, upside down.

"SPD Pink!" she shouted, holding her right hand out, before kicking her right leg out while waving her arms, before she held her right hand out behind her, and her left in front of her, upside down

Kiba held his morpher up, which glowed yellow, as a hologram of a Yellow Ranger suit came up in front of him. It had sliver metal bands on its wrists and legs above the boots, with a black line in the middle, white gloves and neck, the 'Police' badge symbol on the right arm and the center of the helmet, with the rectangular 'SPD' badge on its right upper chest. It had the number 4 in black, his visor bent outwards in the bottom corners, was curved up above the mouthpiece, and had four black marks above it. He backflipped away and morphed, before he landed crouched down, holding his arms to his right - before his helmet appeared on him.

"SPD Yellow!" he shouted, holding his hands together, before he waved them around, then held his right upwards diagonally, pointing his front two fingers up, while putting his left on his inner right elbow.

"SPD Yellow!" he shouted, holding his hands together, before he waved them around, then held his right upwards diagonally, pointing his front two fingers up, while putting his left on his inner right elbow

Reina held her morpher up, which glowed green, as a hologram of a Green Ranger suit came up in front of her. It had sliver metal bands on its wrists and legs above the boots, with a black line in the middle, white gloves and neck, the 'Police' badge symbol on the right arm and the center of the helmet, with the rectangular 'SPD' badge on its right upper chest. It had the number 3 in black, her visor's bottom resembled a rectangle, and she had three black markings above it. She backflipped away as she morphed, before she landed crouched down, holding her arms diagonally up to her right, then her helmet appeared on her.

"SPD Green!" she shouted, crossing her forearms over, before waving her arms around, then she held her left up and her right up near her helmet, with her fists clutched, while also holding up her right leg.

"SPD Green!" she shouted, crossing her forearms over, before waving her arms around, then she held her left up and her right up near her helmet, with her fists clutched, while also holding up her right leg

Cyrus held his morpher up, which glowed blue, as a hologram of a Blue Ranger suit came up in front of him. It had sliver metal bands on its wrists and legs above the boots, with a black line in the middle, white gloves and neck, the 'Police' symbol on the right arm and the center of the helmet, with the rectangular 'SPD' badge on its right upper chest. It also had a big black number 2 on its left side, which went down to the arm, a belt buckle with the letters 'SPD' on, which had cuffs beneath it, a place on the back for his morpher, a black knuckle object on the right side, with a blade on the left. The helmet had a red siren on either side, a sliver mouthpiece, and a visor that waved up on either side of the center of the helmet, with the bottom resembling an arrow, while above it was a matching symbol that split in half. He backflipped away as he morphed, before he landed crouched down, with his left hand on his hip, his right over his forehead, before he looked up, as his helmet came onto him.

"SPD Blue!" he shouted, spreading his legs out, touching the floor with his right hand, before he waved his arms around, holding his left out, while holding his right out beside him like a chopper.

"SPD Blue!" he shouted, spreading his legs out, touching the floor with his right hand, before he waved his arms around, holding his left out, while holding his right out beside him like a chopper

Sora held his morpher up, which glowed red, as a hologram of a Red Ranger suit came up in front of him. It had sliver metal bands on its wrists and legs above the boots, with a black line in the middle, white gloves and neck, the 'Police' badge on the right arm and the center of the helmet, with the rectangular 'SPD' badge on its right upper chest. It had the number 1 in black, had two different blasters in a holster on either side of the belt, one of which had wheels on it, the other having a siren on top, his visor was similar to Kiba's, only the middle was a lot smaller, and he had one whole marking above it. He backflipped away as he morphed, before he landed crouched down, holding his arms diagonally up behind him, before putting his left on his holster, and his right over his face, then his helmet appeared on him.

"SPD Red!" he shouted, waving his arms around, before he spread his legs out, holding his right arm out to the side, and his left by his hip.

"SPD Red!" he shouted, waving his arms around, before he spread his legs out, holding his right arm out to the side, and his left by his hip

~Morphing Sequnce End~


They all crossed their forearms out over their chests, holding both hands like pistols.

"Rangers, ready!" they said, pointing their rights arms out and placing their left hands on their right forearms.

They stomped their left feet forward, as the sirens on their helmets wailed.

"Space Patrol Delta!" they shouted, holding up their morphers, as the 'Police' badge symbol appeared behind them with an explosion added on.

Sora then looked at his friends. "Do you guys mind dealing with these guys while I go check on my mom?" He asked them.

"No sweat." Kiba replied with a mock salute.

"Go, we got this." Reina smirked confidently.

Ayumi and Cyrus both gave thumbs up to Sora, who looked at the two, and nodded in response.  With that, he took off in another direction.

"Alright, let's get to work!" Reina declared, punching her palm.

The Batzlers then charged at the Rangers, who all split up and began to fight them.

Cyrus ran along a car's hood and, then dived off it and rolled past a support pillar, making a Batzler move as another got onto the car. He got up on a slightly upper level, and ducked as a third tried to whack him, before he blocked a kick from it with his hands, then he kicked its chest, then pulled his leg back to kick the first, knocking it into the pillar.

Ayumi jumped and spun around to kick a Batzler on the upper level, but missed as it ducked and ran past her, then she landed and spun around, ducking as another tried to whack her with its blade.

"Ha!" she yelled, jumping and twirling around.

She landed and spun around, tackling a third, flipping it onto its back as she got up.

Kiba ran up the side of a truck as a Batzler chased him, before he backflipped away, then he put his hands on its shoulders, standing upside down on it, before it turned to him.

"Hello." he joked.

He kicked its back and shot away from it, landing on a car's hood as it fell against the truck, knocking itself out.

Reina spun around near the back of the truck, kicking a Batzler's chest, knocking it away, then she blocked another's blade with her forearm, before she grabbed it, and flipped it onto its back. She turned and rolled away as a third tried to whack her with its blade, before she kicked a fourth's chest while sitting down, knocking it back.


Somewhere in the city

The Paladin Ranger - morphed - stood on the roof of a building as he approached a railing at the edge. He placed his hands on the sides of his helmet and pulled it off, before reaching back to bring out a picture. On it showed a 12 year old boy with teal/black hair smiling happily with two adults. The man had a burly figure, with narrow black eyes. His black-colored hair is spiky in the front, while shaved in the back. The woman was beautiful with soft brown eyes along with long teal hair, which she usually wore in a bun with a few strands of hair framing her face.

The Ranger's eyes softened at the photo before becoming hardened with rage and hatred.

"They took everything from us, but don't worry. I'll take everything from them." he snarled, glaring up at the city.

That was when he heard a loud explosion, causing him to look up and see smoke rising from within the city.

With narrowed eyes, he put the picture away and slipped his helmet back on, before clenching his fist.

"AH!" he yelled, as he somersaulted off the roof.

To Be Continued...

Chapter Text

(Hero Force Opening)


With Ayumi, Reina, Cyrus, and Kiba

Cyrus jumped and dived over to a Batzler, kicking it hard and knocking it off the red car, making it hit the ground and let out some sparks, before he landed on his feet away from it.

"How's everyone doing?" he asked.

Ayumi side flipped over the upper level as one tried to whack her legs, then she did a backwards handspring as another came at her. She turned and jumped up, kicking a third with her left leg, then twirled around and kicked a fourth with her right leg, knocking them both down, the latter onto a car's hood.

"All good over here!" She replied, doing her fight pose.

Kiba jumped and kicked his foot on the front of the truck, diving away, before he landed and turned around.

"Ditto!" he yelped, dodging as one tried to whack him with its blade.

He whacked its arm with his forearm, then grabbed it, while he turned and kicked another, knocking it into a pile of boxes, making it let out some sparks, then he spun around and kicked the first's arm, knocking it away.

"Oh, yeah!" he whooped, holding his fists up, his right sideways by his chest.

Reina jumped onto a crate, then turned around and kicked one's blade away, knocking it away slightly, then she backflipped away as another tried to punch her. She landed on her feet, then kicked the crate away, which hit it and another two, knocking them all down.

"Same!" she said, holding her fist up.

Ayumi somersaulted forward, before she landed on her feet, as the others gathered around her. They all turned to the remaining Batzlers.

"Looks like there's still a bit more." she said.

"Totally." Kiba said.

"Then, we better wrap this up and join up with Sora." Cyrus said.

"Sounds good." Reina smirked.

They all brought out their blades, then charged at the remaining Batzlers.

Kiba ran past several while trying to slash one, but missed as it dodged, before Reina ran past another nearby and slashed it across the chest. Ayumi stopped near them and slashed one across the chest, then spun around and ducked, slashing another.

Cyrus backflipped and landed near the truck, holding his blade sideways, then he spun around and slashed ones chest, then turned and kicked another's chest.

Kiba slashed one's chest, then turned and slashed another's chest, then he got onto the red car and jumped and spun around, as a third tried to hit his legs with its arm. He landed on its roof, then turned and slashed a fourth's chest, knocking it off the car.

Reina slashed one across the chest, then spun around and kicked another away, knocking it into a couple of barrels, which it knocked over, then she turned and slashed a third's chest. She then blocked a fourth's blade with her own blade before slashing the fourth's chest.

Ayumi jumped up as a Batzler jumped up, before she slashed it across the chest with her blade, before she landed and slashed another down the chest. She then slashed a third, then spun around and tackled a fourth as it came at her.

Cyrus ducked and slashed one down the chest, then got up and held his blade sideways, before he ducked and ran off, as one tried to whack him with its blade from behind.

"Whoa!" he yelped before stopping and staring at several more.

"Time to turn it up." he said, taking out his knuckle guard before combining it with his blade, making a long blaster. "Deltamax Striker!"

He jumped up and twirled around, firing it, hitting two in the chest and knocking them down. He landed crouched down, then got up as the others gathered around him, before they took their knuckle guards out.

"Deltamax Striker!" they shouted, combining them with their blades.

"Ready?" Cyrus said.

They all turned around, with Kiba and Ayumi crouching down, before they all aimed their blasters at the last of the Batzlers.

"Fire!" They yelled in unison.

They all fired their blasters, hitting the remaining Batzlers and creating an explosion as they blew up, before the Rangers turned around, with Kiba and Ayumi getting up.

"Alright!" they cheered in unison, with Cyrus resting his blaster on his shoulder while the others held theirs up.

"So, was that the last of them?" Kiba questioned, looking around. 

"I think so." Ayumi confirmed after a moment.

"Then we better get to Sora." Reina spoke up, gesturing to the direction that the Red Ranger ran off to.

"Right." Cyrus nodded in agreement.


With Sora

Serena was rushing to help as many people as she could with rescuing and getting injured and trapped civilians to safety, as well as helping the Pro Heroes and her fellow law enforcement who were engaging the Batzlers in a battle.

"Is this the last of the civilians?" Serena asked, helping two children get away from the destruction.

"Yeah, in this area." An officer informed her. "Several more officers are moving into the next district to offer help."

"Right." Serena looked around at what was happening, as many heroes and police officers were trying to lead the citizens out of the city. She began to think to herself. "We're not even at war yet, but it feels like what we're doing here is just the prelude."

"Attention, citizens, evacuate the area, immediately. I repeat, this is not a drill, evacuation is in effect. A Pro-Hero and police squadron will accompany you out of the city." Tsukauchi said as many civilians were trying their best to stay calm for their little ones, or staying close to each other, while being guided by their respective leaders.

Then suddenly, a horde of Batzlers emerged from a building, as they spread out to cause as much mayhem as possible and attacked the humans or made their way towards the city.

"Damnit! There's more of them pouring in on us!" A male officer yelled as he started shooting at the Batzler closest to him with more officers following suit. "We might run out of bullets at this rate!" He complained out loud.

"Then conserve your ammo. We might need it for later!" Serena ordered as she glared at the incoming grunts.

Suddenly, a red figure somersaulted forward out of nowhere, then landed crouched down in front of the horde before it got up, revealing itself to be Sora as SPD Red.

"Sorry I'm late." He said, staring the Batzlers down without fear.

Recognizing the voice, Serena looked at the Red Ranger in surprise. "Sora!"

"Don't worry," Sora told her, crossing his forearms out over his chest, holding his hands like pistols as the Batzlers charged at him. "I got this."

He charged at the Batzlers, then ducked past the first as it tried to whack him, then he blocked a kick from the second with his hand, before punching the third's chest slightly. He then blocked a kick from the fourth with his forearms, then turned and got up, grabbing the third's forearm as he spun around, then he blocked a kick from the fifth with his hand, before kicking the third away, then he spun around.

"Hyah!" he yelled, kicking the fifth away and sending it flying into a lamppost, which fell on impact.

Enraged, several Batzlers fired their lasers at him, hitting the ground around Sora.

"AH!" he yelled before he dodge rolled out of the line of fire. "WHOA!"

He climbed back up to his feet as he now stood in the middle of the street as the Batzlers followed him, and he stared at them.

"Alright, say hello to my little friends." he smirked, clutching his right fist while grasping his wrist with his left hand. "Delta Blasters!"

He brought out both his blasters, as the Batzlers all charged at him.

"Yah!" he yelled, charging in.

He fired his blasters rapidly, hitting five Batzlers and knocking them down as sparks erupted out of them, then hit another one with his right blaster, before he jumped up. He twirled around and fired his left blaster, creating an explosion behind two Batzlers, knocking them down.

"Whoo!" he whooped.

He spread his arms as he dived down, then kicked his feet on the ground and dived away, kicking one as he did, knocking it against a barrel. He landed and rolled past a few, then got up and spun around to kick one, but missed as it ducked, then turned and ducked past another as it tried to punch him. He blocked a third's punch with his forearms, then fired his right blaster, hitting another, then he spun around and waved his arms, but missed as two ducked and ran past him. He then blocked one's kick with his left hand, then fired his right blaster, hitting another and knocking it down, then he kicked a third's arm before spinning around.

He turned to one, then blocked its arm with his left forearm, before he knocked it down onto a crate. He kicked another's arm, then leaned onto the first while lifting his legs up, firing his right blaster, hitting another three nearby. Two jumped up and dived towards him, then he jumped up and dived away, firing both blasters, hitting them both as they twirled around in the air, making one hit some boxes, and the other a part of a barrier.

"Whoa!" he said, as he twirled around and dived down.

He fired his right blaster and hit another Batzler, before he put his feet on the ground and spun around. He then leaned back and fired both his blasters, then jumped and twirled around, before he landed and bent down, firing his left blaster, creating an explosion behind five Batzlers, which knocked them down. He then fired his right blaster, hitting another and knocking it away, before he got up.

"This rocks!" he whooped, crossing his arms over his chest.

He backflipped away as five Batzlers came up behind him, firing his blasters as he did, hitting them all, before he landed crouched down. He then got up and twirled his right blaster in his hand.


Serena and the other officers looked on in shock at the Ranger's skills and marksmanship.

"How did he do that?" 

"Look at him go!"

"He's that good with guns!? Man, I'm jealous!"

Meanwhile, Serena looked stunned by Sora's performance against the Batzlers. 'Whoa... If I knew that Sora was capable of doing all of that, I would've asked him and his friends to work alongside the police force a long time ago.' She thought with a sense of pride.


Several more Batzlers fired lasers at Sora, missing his legs by a few inches.

"Whoa!" he yelped as he dived and rolled to his right, then he jumped up towards a building, as the others watched.

"What's he doing?" An officer questioned.

He landed on top of the roof, before he turned around, as twelve Batzlers looked up at him. One of them fired a laser at him as he jumped off the top and began running down the side of the building, firing his blasters.

"Yee-haw!" he shouted with the blasts hitting the Batzlers, knocking them down with sparks flying off their bodies.

Sora kicked his feet against the wall and dived down, firing his blasters and creating an explosion behind the Batzlers.

The Red Rangers landed crouched down away from them. He then held up his blasters as the Batzlers began to pull themselves up.

"Time to wrap this up! Say hello to my little friend!" The end of Sora's left blaster folded up so it was longways. "Delta Blaster, combo mode!" he shouted, combining the two blasters into one.

He aimed it at the Batzlers, who then charged at him. "Fully charged. Fire!" He shouted.

He then fired a blast from his weapon, which hit the remaining grunts, making sparks erupt all over their bodies before they blew up.

"Oh, yeah!" Sora whooped, turning around and holding his blaster up. "I think that's all of them."

After Sora turned around to see that there were no more Batzlers remaining, he separated his weapon and holstered his blasters before turning around again and running over to where his parental guardian is. "Mom, you okay?" He asked as he approached her, demorphing back into his HF mode.

"I'm fine, no worries." Serena assured him then recall his SPD appearance. "Also, it's illegal to impersonate an officer".

Sora blinked at this. "Eh? But this is how the suit works! I didn't make it."

"Pfft, I'm kidding, I'm only kidding. Thank you, but still, it's a good look. Now kick these guys off our planet."

The Red Ranger chuckles a bit as he then says, "Yes, ma'am. Stay safe." 

With that, Serena made her way over to her fellow officers to help with the citizens in need.

​"Sora!" Kiba yelled. The Red Ranger turned to see his friends racing toward him, now in their HF modes as well.

​"Guys, are you okay?" Sora asked, his voice tight with concern.

​"We're fine," Reina replied, catching her breath. "We just came to tell you we've finished off the rest of the Batzlers."

​Ayumi looked around frantically. "Is your mom okay? Please tell me she's alright."

​Sora offered the Pink Ranger a comforting nod. "Don't worry, I just spoke to her." He watched as Ayumi let out a long, heavy sigh of relief.

 ​"That's a relief," she whispered.

​"But isn't this all a bit... simple?" Cyrus interrupted, his brow furrowed. "It was tough, sure, but it felt almost too easy."​

Kiba threw an arm around him, grinning. "Duh! Because we're just that awesome, Cy!"

​"No, he's right," Reina said, her expression darkening. "Something's off." ​Suddenly, they all then heard a noise, causing them to tense up.

"Wait. What was that?" Cyrus asked. 

"More Batzlers?" Reina questioned, looking around.

"I think we're about to find out. Look!" Ayumi said, pointing down the street.

They looked in the direction where she gestured to and saw a figure emerging from a smoke cloud. They all stood their ground as the Paladin Ranger revealed himself, walking to the top of a burning car and glaring down at the Rangers.

"Funny seeing you four here." He remarked before noticing Sora. "And it seems that you added another color to your little rainbow."

Sora took a step foward. "So, that's the new Ranger, huh..."

"Yup." Reina replied, before cracking her knuckles. "And just know, I haven't forgotten about our last meeting."

"I see that my warning from last time didn't get through to you." The Paladin Ranger scoffed before glaring at the 5 Rangers. "Do me a favor and stay out of my way, or else."

This caused Reina's eyebrow to twitch in annoyance. "Say what!? Listen here, you little prick-"

She took a step forward, only to be stopped by Ayumi. "Reina, calm down!" She said, holding her hands out in a placating manner before looking at the new Ranger. "Look, it doesn't have to come to that. We're all Rangers here. Why don't you just come down here and we can talk?"

The Paladin Ranger looked down at her sharply. "Like I said before, you don't know me. There's nothing to talk about." He merely spat before turning to walk away.

Seeing this, Sora moved towards him. "Hey, we're only trying to-"

He was then cut off as the Paladin Ranger appeared in front of him. Time seemed to slow down before he punched Sora in the chest three times, sending him flying towards the others.

"OHH!" he groaned, hitting some rubble.

"Sora!" Ayumi cried as they ran to him.

"Are you okay?" Cyrus asked, helping their friend sit up.

The Red Ranger let out a grunt. "Yeah. Damn, that hurt."

Reina shot a glare at the Paladin Ranger. "Ok, that's it!" She yelled, before charging towards the Paladin Ranger.

"Rei, wait!" Kiba called out, as he and Cyrus ran after her.

"Bring it." The Paladin Ranger dared.

Reina tried to punch him, but he kicked her in the shoulder, flipping her onto her back. He then blocked a kick from Kiba, before kicking him in the face, flipping him over. He then blocked a kick from Cyrus with his hands, before slapping him, making him turn and hit the ground.

He then turned and ducked as the Yellow Ranger ran over and tried to kick him, before jumping up, and got Kiba caught in a head lock with his legs, while getting Reina caught in one with his arms, before throwing Kiba over, and then Reina. Ayumi then ran over and jumped to kick him with both feet, only for the Paladin Ranger to grab both her legs, before spinning her around, and then letting go, making her crash into Cyrus.


Elsewhere, Scrozzle, who was now in a nearby alley, was watching the fight between the HF Rangers and the Paladin Ranger while giggling excitedly. "This is way better than what I was expecting! I could either let the Paladin Ranger destroy the Rangers, or I could just wait until the Rangers defeat the Paladin Ranger so I can swoop in and take his morpher." He said to himself before a thought crossed his mind. "Huh... I honestly don't know who to root for right now. I mean, this could go either way."


Back at the fight, Sora now stood in front of his fallen friends.

"Alright, looks like we're doing this the hard way!" Sora declared, glaring at his foe. "You think you're so tough, let's see what you got!"

"Fine by me." The Paladin Ranger sneered.

The two of them then charged in, and the Paladin Ranger then ducked as Sora spun around to kick him, making him miss, then the Paladin Ranger got up and blocked another kick from him with his hands. He then sent a whack at Sora, who blocked it with his elbow, then grabbed his arm and pulled it down, then Sora tried to whack him, but he grabbed his wrist.

The Red Ranger then got his arm back, jumped up, and dove towards the Paladin Ranger to chop him, but he grabbed his forearm and chest, and then pulled Sora over him.

"AH!" Sora groaned, hitting the ground.

He then kicked the Paladin Ranger in the shoulder, knocking him away making him roll along the ground. They both got up and turned to each other, then the new Ranger sent a kick at Sora, who blocked it with his elbow, then Sora ducked as the Paladin Ranger spun around to kick him again. The Paladin Ranger then ducked as Sora spun around to kick him, then they both tried to kick each other, hitting each other's foot, and then they both punched each other in the chest.

"AGHH!" they moaned.

They both fell onto the ground and rolled onto their chests. Sora clutched his chest as they both moaned and turned to each other, before they pulled themselves up.

"Sora!" Ayumi said, as she and the others ran up to him.

"Damn it! I mean, it's five against one and he's still whupping our asses!" Reina snapped angrily.

"Come on, guys! I bet he can't take us all at once!" Kiba boasted confidently.

"Kiba's right." Cyrus agreed. "Maybe we'll have better luck beating him if we all use the heavy hitter."

Sora nodded at this. "Sounds like a plan. Let's try it."

"WEAPONS COMBINE!"

The five weapons flew into the air as they began to combine together into one super weapon. The Sky Bowgun was faced horizontally as the Savanna Claws launched and connected onto both sides of the Bowgun, facing forward, acting as additional barrels to the cannon. The Sea Lance then connected to the front of the Bowgun, making it look like a crossbow. Finally, the Pyro Saber was locked in on top of the cannon, similar to where an arrow would be placed in a crossbow as the Terra Axe connected to the front of the bowgun's handle, with the bottom half facing forward.

"Justice Striker!" They shouted before Sora aimed it at the Paladin Ranger, as Reina and Kiba crouched down and held up the end of it, as Cyrus and Ayumi touched Sora's shoulders to hold him in place.

"Don't make us do something we don't wanna do." Sora advised.

"Give it your best shot!" the Paladin Ranger dared as he drew his Ice Saber in its Blade Mode.

"You asked for it!"

Sora then fired the super weapon, which sent a blast out, but the Paladin Ranger blocked it with his blade, shocking the Rangers.

"What?!" Ayumi gasped.

"No way!" Reina exclaimed.

Without any effort, the Paladin Ranger delivered a heavy blow to the blast and sent it hurling skyward, where it then exploded into a massive burst of power. "My turn."

The Paladin Ranger seemed to be getting ready to attack as the cyberware markings on his hands and arms began to glow a bright cyan, clicking open to reveal cybernetic parts inside. His spine also appeared to glow the same color, spreading throughout his body.

He then took a step forward....a white light shined outward from his current spot, slowing time down around the group, as the HF Rangers all seemed to move in a snail's pace.

He then dashed towards them all quickly with his superspeed, then began to attack them. He bashed each of them in the chest twice, before he somersaulted away from them, and landed crouched down.

"That's gotta hurt." he said, holding his left hand out, with his right near his chest.

BOOM!

"AHHH!" The Rangers all let out cries of pain as sparks came out of their chests, causing them to fly backwards and crash onto the ground.

"Too easy." The Paladin Ranger then stood up with his back to them.

"Okay...he took us all at once." Kiba groaned out, lying on his stomach.

"Alright, what's the deal?" Sora asked, pulling himself up. "We try to be nice. Just extending a little Ranger love, and this is what we get?"

"I'm not here to make friends!" The Paladin Ranger snarled.

"Then what is it?" Cyrus asked as he and the others pulled themselves up. "What do you want?"

"That isn't something you need to know." The Paladin Ranger said, turning to them, touching his helmet briefly as he did. "What is important right now is that I've been asleep for years, waiting to have my revenge. Now is that time!"

​The revelation hit the HF Rangers like a physical blow. This was no average Sixth Ranger, this was someone who's been wanting to have revenge. 

"What?" Reina asked, sounding confused.

"Years?" Cyrus was surprised by how long the Paladin Ranger was asleep for.

"How old is this guy?" Kiba muttered underneath his breath.

​"Revenge?" Ayumi stepped forward, her tone gentle and concerned as she held her side. "Revenge for what?"

​Her kindness only seemed to poison the air. "SHUT UP!" the Paladin roared, his irritation boiling over into pure rage. "I'm tired of this! You won't get in my way, I'll make sure of that!" ​His fingers blurred as he punched a rapid sequence of coordinates into his morpher.

"What's he doing?" Cyrus questioned.

"I don't know, but get ready." Sora said. 

The Paladin Ranger then thrusted up his Morpher-clad arm. "Crusader Zords, arise!" he shouted, as the Morpher let out a humming sound.

 ​Kiba's face went pale as he heard that. "Wait... what?" he stammered, his voice laced with panic.

Soon, a swirling of clouds gathered in the sky as a cyan Dragon Zord emerged from them and let out a roar.

Soon, a swirling of clouds gathered in the sky as a cyan Dragon Zord emerged from them and let out a roar

After that, a cyan Wolf Zord jumped on top of a glacier cliff, and then howled loudly.

After that, a cyan Wolf Zord jumped on top of a glacier cliff, and then howled loudly

"Ah!" the HF Rangers gasped, backing away.

The two new Zords moved behind the Paladin Ranger, as he then turned to the Rangers.

"You gotta be kidding me! He has Zords too!?" Kiba exclaimed, pointing at the massive creatures.

"Makes sense. Every Sixth Ranger has them." Cyrus informed.

"Though, none of them had more than one Zord besides Merrick." Ayumi added in.

Reina scoffed in response. "So what? We're just gonna have to kick their asses too!"

"Right." Sora said, holding his fist up. "Let's fight fire with fire, guys!"

The Hero Force Rangers held up their morpher-clad arms and sent their respective beams of color into the sky to open up five gigantic portals of red, black, blue, yellow, and pink.

"WE NEED PALADIN ZORD POWER, NOW!"


Command Chamber: Zord Hangar

Meanwhile, in the Zord Hangar, The Paladin Zords heard the call right before their eyes lit up. A portal opens up in front of each individual Zord as the mechanical beasts began to move.

The Condor Paladin Zord screeched as it flew through the red portal.

The Bull Paladin Zord then let out a moo and ran through the black portal.

The Stallion Paladin Zord neighed loudly and galloped through the blue portal.

The Lion Paladin Zord roared fiercely as it ran through the yellow portal.

The Swan Paladin Zord whistled as it flew through the pink portal.

Once all Zords were through, the portals all closed up behind them. While they were traveling through the portal, the Zords all let out various roars, screeches, and moos. The Lion Zord in the center, the Bull Zord on the right, the Condor above the Bull Zord. The Stallion Zord on the left side of the Lion Zord, and the Swan Zord flew above the Stallion Zord. The Paladin Zords roared as one upon seeing the end of the tunnel.

"Hmph. Call all your Zords - but they don't have the power to match mine!" The Paladin Ranger snarled, pointing his blade at them.

"Let's test that!" Sora retorted, as the Rangers brought out their weapons.

"Power Rangers!" they shouted, before charging at the Paladin Ranger, who charged back.

"Crusader Zords, destroy!" he ordered.

The Crusader Zords all charged at the Paladin Zords.

As the Rangers began the second Round of their fight against the Paladin Ranger, Scrozzle- who was still watching the fight from his spot in the alley- was surprised by how the fight escalated to a level such as this.

Briefly, Scrozzle remembered that Alsatia tasked him with taking the Paladin Ranger's morpher and delivering it to her so she could use it to take over the Earth. Then he took another look at the Rangers, then at their Zords, and made a decision.

 "Yeah, that's a 'nope' from me." Scrozzle said before he teleported back to Alsatia's ship to avoid getting caught in the crossfire.

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

(Hero Force Opening)


"Hmph. Call all your Zords - but they don't have the power to match mine!" The Paladin Ranger snarled, pointing his blade at them.

"Let's test that!" Sora retorted, as the Rangers brought out their weapons.

"Power Rangers!" they shouted, before charging at the Paladin Ranger, who charged back.

"Crusader Zords, destroy!" he ordered.

The Crusader Zords all charged at the Paladin Zords.

The Lion Zord roared as it and the Wolf Crusader Zord charged at each other. They both then jumped up and tried to bite each other, before they jumped past each other. They landed on the ground, then turned around and jumped towards each other again, then tried to bit each other again, before they both turned and jumped back. The Paladin Lion Zord landed against a building, while the Wolf Crusader Zord landed on its paws, then the Lion Zord moaned weakly.

The Bull Zord mooed, before it rammed into the Wolf Crusader Zord, knocking it down onto its side. The Stallion Zord then neighed and galloped towards it, then fired a blast of water from its mouth, making the Wolf Zord leap away.


As the Paladin and Crusader Zords clashed, the city felt like it was tearing apart. To the civilians below, it was a battle of gods.

​"Are those... mechanical animals!?" a man cried out, shielding his terrified daughter as a shadow the size of a skyscraper swept over them. Nearby, a middle schooler gripped his phone, zooming in until the metallic fur and armor plating filled his screen.

​"Yeah, but look!" the student yelled, his voice cracking with adrenaline. "They're fighting the Power Rangers!"

​The word spread through the crowd like wildfire. Panic fought with morbid curiosity as evacuees began to record and livestream the titan-sized brawl, their cameras shaking as they fled for their lives with their families.

The Paladin Ranger blocked Ayumi's Sky Bowgun with his blade, knocking her away slightly, then he slashed Reina across the chest. He then slashed Cyrus down the chest, then turned around and blocked Kiba's right Savanna Claw, before slashing him down the chest.

The Condor Zord screeched as it flew into the fray, while the Dragon Zord moved towards it. It then threw a barrage of fire blasts at the Dragon Zord, hitting the area all around it, creating smoke all around it as it roared. It then emerged from the smoke, flew towards the Condor Zord, bit down on it, and shook it around in its mouth.

Sora tried to hit the Paladin Ranger with his Pyro Saber, but he blocked it with his Ice Blade, then he pulled it back, then he slashed Sora twice with it in an X shape.

He rolled along the ground, then turned around and got up, before he looked up shocked.

"Condor Zord!" he cried, before dodge-rolling as the Paladin Ranger tried to slash him with his blade.

The Swan Zord both fired several laser blasts at the Dragon Zord, hitting the air around it, making smoke and explosions come up from it. The Dragon Zord then threw the Condor Zord towards it, sending them both spiraling in the air.

The Paladin Ranger slashed Sora across the chest with his blade, then slashed him down the chest, making him turn around as he fell over.

"Uh!" he moaned, rolling along the ground. He soon got up to his knees and turned around, as the others gathered around him.

"Sora, are you okay?" Ayumi asked, as she and Cyrus touched his shoulders.

"Yeah, I'm okay. But I'm not sure about the Zords though." He replied.

"Then why don't we kick it up a notch?" Kiba suggested.

"Sounds like a plan to me!" Reina said, clenching a fist.

"Right. Hero Force, let's move!" Sora told them.

The Rangers all jumped up and landed in their Zords cockpits, powering everything up.

"Paladin Hero Megazord!" The Rangers shouted all together. "Zords Combine!"


MEGAZORD SEQUENCE

The Paladin Zords all began moving forward, all roaring or screeching in the process.

The Bull Zord mooed before it raised itself up on its hind legs before it retracted its limbs into itself, then its torso opened up and swiveled outward, forming the legs. The Condor Zord then landed on top of it as its wings widened gracefully, forming the torso.

The Stallion Zord came up on its right, while the Lion Zord came up on its left, and retracted their limbs into themselves as they attached themselves to the Condor Zord, forming the arms.

The Swan Zord flew down, with its butt detaching from the rest of it. Its head attached itself to the back as the butt formed a head with a crown, forming the Paladin Hero Megazord. Its wings detached themselves from the body and attaching themselves to the Condor Zord's wings.

The Rangers all sat in the cockpit and stared at the Crusader Zords- in the front: Sora in the middle, with Reina on his left and Cyrus on his right. In the back: Kiba on the left and Ayumi on the right.

Then, from outside of the Rangers' cockpit, the Megazord's eyes flashed gold for a brief moment.

"Paladin Hero Megazord!" The five Hero Force Rangers shouted in sync with the Megazord transformation complete, as the Megazord spun around in the air to strike a cool pose before the sun shined brightly behind the Megazord, giving it an epic glow. "Ready to defend!" The Rangers announced proudly out loud.

MEGAZORD SEQUENCE END


The Paladin Ranger snorted as he looked up at the mecha. "Cute trick, but watch this." He said as he then inputted some commands into his Morpher before putting his Morpher-clad arm next to his mouth and holding his other arm out in the direction of his Zords. "Crusader Zords, combine!"


MEGAZORD SEQUENCE

The Wolf Zord howled before it ran forward as the Dragon Zord flew over the right side of the Wolf Zord. The Dragon Zord let out a loud roar before it landed on the ground and stood up on its hind legs, which they then straightened to become humanoid legs. The arms retracted themselves inwards, then the Dragon Zord's head and neck separately detached themselves from the body and moved to attach themselves to the right side of the body (the neck forming the right arm and the dragon head forming the right shoulder guard) as a hand emerged from the neck. The Wolf Zord then jumped up and retracted its limbs inwards before attaching itself to the left side of the body, then a hand emerged from the Wolf Zord's body. Then, a head shot up from the top of the Dragon Zord's body with a horn emerging from the top of the head. Finally, it huffed before it raised its arms upwards as the Crusader Zords finished forming a new Megazord.

MEGAZORD SEQUENCE END


In the cockpit, three ice crystals lay on a podium with a teal circle on, then the Paladin Ranger showed up in a seat, and put his hands onto the podium.

"Typhon Megazord, awaken!" he shouted, crossing his fists over his chest, before putting them down.

The Typhon Megazord stared at the Paladin Hero Megazord, that tensed up in preparation.

"Of course he has a Megazord." Sora said, narrowing his eyes.

"Can't say I'm really surpised." Cyrus muttered. "It's a tale as old as time at this point."

"This isn't good." Ayumi gulped.

"Tsk, so what? We'll kick his ass all the same!" Reina declared with a clenched fist.

 "Gotta admit, that looks really cool." Kiba replied casually. The other HF Rangers looked at him with deadpan looks on their faces, causing the Yellow Ranger to look at them. "What? I'm just being honest."

Cyrus pinched his visor with a sigh. "Actually, it's about that pun you just made."

Kiba looked confused at this. "Huh? What are you-" He paused mid-question as he thought about what he just said and what the Paladin Ranger's elemental power was. "Would you guys believe me if I said that wasn't intentional?"

 "No!" The others exclaimed in unison.

Both Megazords stared at each other, before the Typhon Megazord began to marched towards the Paladin Hero Megazord, which marched towards it. They both then grappled with each other, but then the Typhon Megazord knocked the Paladin Hero Megazord's arms up. It then whacked the Paladin Hero Megazord in the chest, then kicked it, and then punched it, knocking it back.

In retaliation, the Paladin Hero Megazord tried to punch the Typhon Megazord with its right hand, but the rival mecha punched its right hand out, hitting it. The Paladin Hero Megazord then tried to hit it with its left hand, but the Typhon Megazord punched it with its left hand.

"You guys thinking what I'm thinking?" Kiba asked, holding up his morpher-clad arm.

The screen split into five again, the Hero Rangers in the same places, showing the others had done the same.

"Mane Saber!" They called together.

The Stallion Zord's mane then extended from its head and transformed into a orange saber that glistened in the sunlight.

"Slice!" Ayumi shouted.

The Paladin Hero Megazord slashed the Typhon Megazord down the chest with its sword, then slashed it upwards.

"And again!" Reina shouted.

The Paladin Hero Megazord slashed the Typhon Megazord again, but it dudn't move an inch.

"This isn't working! What else can we do?!" Cyrus panicked.

The Paladin Hero Megazord tried to slash the Typhon Megazord again, but this time, it grabbed the sword.

"What?" Sora uttered in surprise.

"Do you give up?" The Paladin remarked before the Typhon Megazord pulled the Mane Saber down.

"It's too powerful!" Ayumi exclaimed.

The Typhon Megazord then bashed the Paladin Hero Megazord in the chest, causing it to double over and used its strength to lift and throw the Paladin Hero Megazord over its shoulder, hitting the ground on its back.

"AHH!" Sora moaned.

"Uh!" Reina moaned.

"Ah!" Ayumi moaned.

"Guh!" Cyrus groaned out.

"Ah!" Kiba wheezed out, shaking his head. "Yeah, definitely gonna feel that one in the morning."

​"We have to focus!" Reina yelled, her voice barely rising above the chaos.​

"Yeah, but what about everyone else down there?" Ayumi replied, her tone thick with worry. "If we lock ourselves in here, the city won't last another hour! Let alone minutes!"

​"Then let's take this outside of the city!" Cyrus announced, getting their attention. "That way, no one will get caught in the crossfire."

"Good idea." Sora agreed.

"I'll set a course for maximum altitude." Ayumi said, turning to her controls.

​"Guys, we're at 30-40% power," Kiba interjected, his hands flying across the terminal. "The odds of reaching that height without a total systems—"

​"We know the math, Kiba!" Reina barked, her grip tightening on the controls. "Just do it!"

On this idea, the Megazord's wings and boosters roared to life with a bone-shaking hum, propelling the massive machine upward. Below them, the city lights began to shrink, a sight that didn't go unnoticed by the Paladin Ranger.

​"Impressive. Your toy can fly? So can mine," the Paladin Ranger's voice crackled sarcastically through to comms as the Typhon Megazord's dragon wings spread out wide before shooting upwards, pursuing them into the clouds.

"Is anyone else surprised that his Megazord could also fly?" Reina questioned, noticing their foe's actions.

"Not really." Ayumi and Kiba replied together.

Cyrus shrugged his shoulders. "Actually, I was expecting that to happen." 

"Well, since we got him to follow us in the air, how about we lead him to the mountains where our fight won't hurt anyone or cause any more damage to the city?" Sora spoke up.

Once the reached above the clouds, the Paladin Hero Megazord then began to turn around and floated in the air.

"All right, guys, this is it." Sora told the others. "We'll fight him here."

The Typhon Megazord soon reached the same height as it's fellow mecha and floated across from it. Both Megazords moved slightly to their right while staring at each other

"You know, I am starting to get really annoyed right now..." The Paladin Ranger's voice crackled, distorted by the Typhon Megazord's external speakers.

​Inside the cockpit, Sora's hands tightened on the controls as the HUD flickered with combat data. "This is your last warning," he declared, his voice firm as the Rangers synced their movements. "Stand down and maybe we can talk this out."

​Beside him, the other Rangers held their breath, their hands hovering over the triggers. The Paladin Hero Megazord shifted its weight, gears grinding like thunder as it braced for an opening. 

 "Like I said before... I won't let you get in my way..."

With that, the two Megazords flew toward each other. The collision caused a huge explosion with a loud boom. Soon they flew across into the sky while shockwave flashed through from them clashing constantly in the air.

Both machines were constantly punching each other in the face. They both looked to be on equal footing until the Typhon Megazord threw a hard punch that made the Paladin Hero Megazord fly backwards. "Now, I'll show you real power." The Paladin spoke. "Eternal Fimbulwinter."

Suddenly, sky darkened above them, and from above, the Rangers could feel as the wind began to stir. While trying to figure out what to do to counteract this, chilling winds suddenly made the wind grow stronger, pushing the five of them to the edge. With sun still shining above, the heat increased the intensity of the stormy winds even further. They struggled to hold themselves together against the hurricane that pushed against them, until they began to notice their Megazord beginning to lose power while ice suddenly appeared within the cockpit and slowly began to cover everything but the Rangers.

"What's going on?!" Ayumi panicked.

"And where the hell did this ice come from?!" Reina added.

As soon as Cyrus put the pieces together in his mind, he came to a chilling discovery. "Guys, I think this is the Paladin Ranger's doing. This weather, and this ice... He's freezing our Megazord, and we're losing power!"

From outside the HF Rangers' cockpit, the Paladin Ranger could only watch as the Paladin Hero Megazord was slowly being covered in ice while moving sluggishly until, one by one, parts of it became fully frozen.

"Jötunheimr's Roar, fire!" The Paladin Ranger shouted, holding his fist up, before opening it up.

The heads of the Dragon and Wolf Zords detached from the Typhon Megazord's shoulders and attached themselves to the hands. The Typhon Megazord then held up its arms and fired a powerful cyan-colored energy beam that slammed directly into the Paladin Hero Megazord, making sparks come out of it.

"AHH!" Sora moaned, as sparks erupted from within the Megazord's cockpit.

"UH! AH!" Reina moaned.

"GAH!" Cyrus grunted.

"AH!" Kiba moaned.

"AHH!" Ayumi groaned.

Sparks came out all over the Paladin Hero Megazord, as it then fell from the sky like a meteor and slammed into a mountain before exploding upon impact.

"AGHH!" the Rangers screamed, launching out of the Megazord and falling towards the ground. They de-morphed before they landed, chest-first, on the ground. "Oh!" they moaned.


Command Chamber

Katrina and Alpha looked worried as he stared at the screen.

"Aye-yi-yi-yi-yi! They're down!" the young robot gasped.


The Typhon Megazord descended from the darkened sky, casting a huge shadow over the heavily damaged and ice covered Paladin Hero Megazord that was sprawled on the ground while the HF Rangers were laying on the ground, unmorphed and unmoving.

From behind the Typhon Megazord's cockpit, the Paladin Ranger glared down at his defeated enemies. "I told you," he declared, his voice cold and final. "Stay out of my way."

The Typhon Megazord then turned around and flew away from the scene.


Command Chamber

"Come in, Sora?!" Katrina asked frantically as she stared at the screen. "Reina?! Cyrus?! Kiba?! Ayumi!?" 

​"Katrina, what do we do!?" Alpha cried, his mechanical voice frantic.

 ​Katrina forced herself to draw a ragged breath, her eyes fixed on the floor. She fought the rising tide of a dark memory, whispering a desperate mantra to herself: 

 "Breathe. Just breathe... this isn't like last time." After shaking off the memories of the past, she stood tall and turned to her Right-Hand Bot with sudden, sharp focus.​

"Alpha, teleport the Rangers to the Command Chamber immediately. They need medical attention, now!"​

Alpha hesitated, his sensors radiating worry. "But Katrina—"

 ​"Now, Alpha! Please!"​

"OH! YES! RIGHT AWAY!"

With that, the young robot went over to a panel and pressed in a few buttons, resulting in the Rangers being warped to the Command Chamber.


Hero Commission 

Panic hung heavy in the air. The President of the HPSC sat with her arms raised, shielding her face as her advisors erupted into a cacophony of terror.

​"What are we supposed to do? Did you see that?" one cried.

​"The Rangers have never been defeated like this before!" another shouted over the noise.

​"God help us... this 'Paladin' Ranger is stronger than all of them combined! My son was in that sector—he could have been killed!"

​Sayaka looked up at the monitors, where surveillance footage and news livestreams of the Megazord duel looped relentlessly. She scanned the room; only Yokumiru Mera remained calm, quietly taking his medication with a sip of water.

​"Enough," Sayaka muttered, but her voice was drowned out by the hysteria. Finally, she slammed her hands onto the table with a deafening crack. "ENOUGH!"

​Silence fell instantly. Every eye turned to her as she let out a long, weary sigh.

"I understand what has happened today has had a impact on us all. But may I remind you, we are facing a war that is about to begin. We can't afford to panic." She then turned to her right-hand man. "Mr. Mera, your notes on the Rangers' transformation."

Mera sighed in relief as the room quieted down before clearing his throat to address the room. "Well, Madam President, as you can see from the surveillance footage," He stood beside a screen as he then pointed to the Rangers. "they can switch uniforms and weapons at will. I'm convinced that the only reason they're able to do that is because those watches are the source of that ability, triggering the transformation from their standard gear to these law enforcement variants. However, I still require more time to uncover the true origin of those wrist-mounted devices."

"I see... What about this... rogue Ranger? Do we have any knowledge of where he might be?" Sayaka asked, her eyes scanning the room for answers.

"None so far, ma'am," a male official replied before handing her a tablet that displayed a live map of Japan. "After defeating the Rangers, he vanished in that giant machine of his. Our scanners are still sweeping the grid, but we haven't locked onto a signature yet." 

"So, what do we do now?" Another male official asked, looking around the room for some kind of solution for this dilemma.

Sinking back into her chair with a heavy sigh, Sayaka scanned the portraits of the former presidents. She searched their frozen faces for guidance, wondering how they would have navigated this storm. When her eyes fell upon the final portrait, she let out a sharp, audible gasp. An idea had taken root. A flicker of shame crossed her face as she remembered the history of that choice, but she stood nonetheless. As she reached the door, she spoke with cold resolve:

"Send word to my driver. I'm going to Tartarus."

​"Wait... ma'am, why go there?" a female official asked as her colleagues exchanged looks of mounting confusion.

​"Because she is there," Sayaka replied, her voice steady enough to cause a collective gasp. "She may be our only hope for a counterstrike against the rogue Ranger."

​"Madam President, with all due respect—have you lost your mind?" an older official, nearly Sayaka's age, asked. "Kaina Tsutsumi was thrown into Tartarus for a reason."

​"If the Rangers couldn't stop this new adversary, what other choice do we have?" Sayaka stood, her eyes hardening. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a bargain to strike with an old acquaintance."

She then proceeded to exit out of the room, closing the door behind her.

To Be Continued...

Chapter 88: Chapter 26 - Paladin Ranger Arc: The Calm Before the Storm

Notes:

Not much to say, so here's the new chapter for you guys. Enjoy!

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

(Hero Force Opening)


However, going on at the same time as the Rangers' battle with the Paladin Ranger, more sinister forces were at work. In Kamino Ward, which is located in Yokohama City, there was an abandoned bar that served as the main hideout for the League of Villains.

It was in this bar where Shigaraki was hiding out. He was currently sitting on a stool at the bar's counter. Behind the counter was Kurogiri, who was wearing a very elegant suit with a tie. Behind the first two villains was a TV that had the words 'Sound Only' on its screen. Somebody else was watching them.

And in front of them was their 'honored guest.'

"Now I get it. You must be the ones who attacked UA," The Hero Killer, Stain, said. He was scowling at Shigaraki and Kurogiri while hunching over. The sight of them disgusted him. "You wanna recruit me to build up your little group again."

"Yeah. It'll be great, you've got so much experience." Shigaraki said to the villain.

"And what's your mission?"

"For now? I really just wanna kill All Might. I like to destroy anything that pisses me off." He then pulled out a small stack of photos. The first one showed Sora Ukashi, Reina Fukukado, Cyrus Hado, Kiba Mason, and Ayumi Suzuni during the Sporst Festival. The same kids in the color-coded costumes that fucked up his plans at the USJ. "Like these little brats here. Game over."

Stain narrowed his eyes at the pictures. "The Power Rangers...?"

This, however, caused a reaction that was nothing like what the two villains were expecting.

"I was a fool to think you could offer me anything. It turns out, you're the type of person I hate most in this world." Stain growled out in complete disgust and hatred. Confusing and shocking the two villains.

"The goals of your 'league' are those of a child." Stain stated, grabbing two of his daggers and drawing them while glaring at the villain for his so-called goals. "What meaning is there to killing if you don't have real convictions?"

Kurogiri was starting to become nervous. Tomura Shigaraki cared only about wanton violence. That's why he brought Stain to guide the young villain. Now, the fog villain believed that this was all just one big mistake and that he had to act fast.

He turned to the TV. "Master. Should I step in?"

"Let it happen." Said the 'master'. "It's possible this is the only way he'll learn anything. He needs to think about the ways he must grow. How he can mature! Only then will he reach his potential."


Command Chamber

The Rangers all had their injuries treated from their fight with the Paladin Ramger. Sora laid near the panel with some cracked ribs - bandages all over his chest - while Kiba sat at a table with his left arm in a sling, while Reina had her forehead and right hand bandaged, while Cyrus only had his left hand bandaged.

Alpha dipped a towel into a bowl of water, then put it onto a bandage. He put the dowel down, then put the bandage on Ayumi's left forearm.

"Ah!" the Pink Ranger winced.

"Are you okay?" Alpha asked.

Ayumi nodded, as she thought about last night, when they lost to the Typhon Megazord. "How... how long have we been out?"

"A few hours at most." Alpha replied.

"A few hours!?" Sora said, as he tried to bolt upright, but the movement was met with sharp grunts of pain. Katrina, moving quickly, gently but firmly pushed him back. 

 "Sit down," Katrina commanded, her voice turning stern. "You are in no condition to move."

​"How can we rest?" Reina countered, gritting her teeth against the pain  "when there's a rogue Ranger out there hunting for revenge?"

Katrina tilted her head, her brow furrowing in confusion. "Revenge? Reina, what do you mean by that?"​

"Well, right before the big showdown with his Megazord, that creep said he'd been asleep for years," Kiba cut in, drawing the eyes of everyone in the room. "Waiting to have his revenge. Personally? I think the guy's a little off his rocker."​

"Revenge?" Alpha's mechanical voice hummed with a worried cadence. "Revenge for what?"​

Ayumi sighed, crossing her arms. "That's exactly what I asked. But the second the word left my mouth, he completely lost it."

After hearing this, Katrina pressed a hand to her face and sighed deeply. She looked up at her Rangers with a grim expression. "This is most troubling," she admitted. "An unstable Ranger fueled by a singular desire for revenge... there's no telling what kind of devastation he will leave in his wake if he is denied."

​"So, what's the plan?" Sora asked, his voice steady and determined. Beside him, the others waited in heavy silence for Katrina's answer.

​"We must uncover who this Paladin Ranger actually is," Katrina replied. "Alpha and I have been attempting to track his movements since your first encounter, but based on your description, it sounds as though he was held in some form of cryosleep."

​"Technology like that would be top-secret," Cyrus added, leaning in. "If I were a scientist working for the government, I'd need a facility that—"

​"A super-duper laboratory!" Kiba cut in, finishing the thought with a grin. "It's probably hidden in the mountains near the Sports Festival Stadium! That would explain how he was there to help us with that  White Dino Thunder Ranger clone!"

​Reina sighed, crossing her arms. "I can't believe I'm actually encouraging this line of thinking, but if you're right... why would the government go to such lengths to keep this guy a secret?"

"Reina's right, guys," Ayumi said, leaning forward. "With everything he has, why would he stay a secret?"

​Sora stepped in, holding up a hand. "We'll worry about the 'why' later, Ayu. Right now, let's see if Cy and Kiba are onto something." The Red Ranger turned toward the android. "Hey, Alpha?"

"Yes, Sora?" Alpha asked, his sensors whirring. 

​"If the Paladin Ranger was really sleeping for years, there has to be a power battery capable of keeping him sleeping for that long. Can you scan the mountains for something like that?"

​"That's a great idea. Scanning now," Alpha replied. He moved to the main console, activating a holographic map. "Let's see what we can find."

Alpha expanded the digital map, inputting various energy signatures. As he did, the display bled into a spectrum of shifting colors: pulses of red and flashes of yellow. As the android scrolled further, Ayumi's eyes went wide.

​"Wait, wait, wait, wait!" she shouted, causing Alpha to freeze mid-scroll. The Pink Ranger surged forward, pointing at a massive, stark-white void dominating half the screen. "That huge white spot—that's gotta be it, right?"

The other Rangers and Katrina crowded around her to see what she'd found. Cyrus stepped closer to the console, squinting at the coordinates Alpha had isolated. ​"It's barely five hundred yards from the stadium," Cyrus noted, his brow furrowing.

​"Then that's where we're going," Sora replied firmly.

​Kiba let out a smug whistle. "Since Cy and I were right about the location, I'm betting five bucks it's some kind of secret military base."

​"Wait, wait—timeout!" Reina shouted, forcing the group to a halt. "Guys, if we head in there and that asshole shows up with his Megazord, we're just gonna get our asses kicked like last time and our Paladin Zords are out of comission right now. We need a better plan."​

Sora stepped forward, a spark of an idea in his eyes. "What if we use Legendary Ranger Mode against him? And if he does try to bring in the heavy artillery, we'll just counter him with a Legendary Megazord."

​"I agree with Sora," Katrina added, her expression serious. "If he does appear, use Legendary Ranger Mode to gain an advantage over him. From what we've seen so far, the Paladin Ranger didn't even use it in his past battles, so I have no doubt that he doesn't have it, so use the mode to the fullest."

She then turned towards the consoles. "In the meantime, since you five are still injured, you can help me and Alpha cross-reference the database for a Legendary Megazord countermeasure for the Typhon Megazord until you all fully recover."

After being reminded of the state they're currently in, Sora, Ayumi, Cyrus, and Kiba agreed with their mentor and decided to help her out. Reina, on the other hand, wanted to protest against what Katrina suggested, but a sharp pain in her right hand caused her to wince until she, eventually, sighed in defeat and decided to help her friends.


Meanwhile, in the same facility that the Hero Force were talking about, the air inside was stale, smelling of cold concrete and forgotten years. With a flicker of light, the Paladin Ranger teleported into the center of the command deck. He stood still for a moment, the silence of the ruins pressing in on him.

He let out a long, weary sigh. "I'm home..." he muttered, his voice dripping with a dry, practiced sarcasm.

​He waited, almost as if he expected a greeting, but only the low whistle of the wind through the cracked windows answered him. With another sigh, he began to trek through the skeletal remains of the base. His boots crunched on glass and scattered debris, echoing through the empty halls.

​Suddenly, a sound caught his ear; a faint, melodic ghost of laughter. He spun around, his hand instinctively twitching toward his weapon, but there was no one there. Instead, his eyes landed on a small shape peeking out from under a pile of dust.

​It was a roller skate, its bright colors dulled by a thick layer of grime.

​The Paladin Ranger knelt down and picked it up, brushing the dirt away with his thumb. A small, genuine chuckle broke through his somber mood as he looked at the mismatched laces.

​"Never thought I'd see this old thing again..." he whispered as he stared at the roller skate with a quiet, aching fondness.


Flashback

12 years ago...

A thirty-year-old adult woman with soft brown eyes and long teal hair that was worn in a bun with a few strands framing her face was seen walking through the base while carrying a teal and black skate box in her hands.

A thirty-year-old adult woman with soft brown eyes and long teal hair that was worn in a bun with a few strands framing her face was seen walking through the base while carrying a teal and black skate box in her hands

As she nears a heavy blast door, a soldier steps into her path with his hand raised. "Hey! This is a restricted area."

Before he could usher her away, a firm hand landed on his shoulder. It was his Captain.

"Stand down," Captain Hikari said with a small, knowing smile. "She's Dr. Arasaka's wife and one of the scientists here." He then turned to woman and offered her his hand. "Hello, Mrs. Arasaka."

The woman shifted the box to one arm to shake his hand. "Hello to you too, Captain Hikari. And please, call me Lunetta."

Captain Hikari nodded before noticing the box in Lunetta's arm. "What's that you have there, Lunetta?"

"Sorry, but it's a surprise for my son." Lunetta replied as she shifted the box again into both her arms before gently tapping it with her hand.

"Ah, I understand," Captain Hikari nodded in understanding before giving Lunetta a nod. "Carry on, ma'am."

Lunetta gave him a nod back before walking off towards another part of the base.

A while later, Lunetta found herself walking into an observation room that was dominated by a massive, fluid-filled cylinder. But the only thing she was focused on was what was inside the cylindrical tube.

Inside the tube, suspended in the liquid, was a young boy. His hair was striking- split perfectly down the middle between a deep midnight blue and a bright, electric cyan. His back was turned to her, floating motionless. 

Feeling really eager and excited to show what she has for the boy, Lunetta approached the glass and shifted the box to one arm so she can reach out with her free hand. Just as she was about to carefully tap on the glass, the boy suddenly snapped his head around to glare at her with a sharp, wary intensity.

Lunetta gasped and recoiled, her heart racing. After quickly recovering from that, she let out a small chuckle. "Don't scare me like that."

The boy turned his entire body around to face her, floating upright as he scrutinized her from behind the glass, his eyes never losing their guarded edge.

Upon realizing it was Lunetta, the boy relaxed a bit and turned his entire body around to face her, floating upright as he gave her a smug smirk from behind the glass.

After seeing the look on the boy's face, Lunetta gave him a playful glare. "Ryutei Arasaka, is that how you say hello to your own mother?" She playfully reprimanded the boy, now revealed to be her son.

Then she remembered the gift she had planned for him.​ "OH! I almost forgot, I have a surprise for you," she sang, turning around to set the box down. Ryutei pressed closer to the glass, trying to catch a glimpse of the gift. With a flourish, she spun back around to reveal a pair of sleek roller skates.​

"Ta-da! Do you like them?" 

 Ryutei raised an eyebrow, tilting his head in utter confusion. He stared at the gift his mother had presented, then shot her a deadpan look that clearly said: "Really, Mom?​"

"Oh don't you start, young man." she scolded playfully, waving her hand as if to brush his skepticism out of the air. "It's supposed to be fun, Ryutei. At least give it a chance."


​Now free of the cylinder, Ryutei crouched in a hallway, bracing himself in a "race start" position with his new roller skates. His father—brought out by Lunetta to witness the spectacle—watched with an amused grin.

​Lunetta adjusted her baseball cap while his father stepped in front of him, assuming the role of the official race starter.

​"Ready, sport?" his father asked. Ryutei glanced over to see Lunetta giving him a broad, enthusiastic thumbs-up. He sighed, shaking his head slightly.

​"Ready as I'll ever be, Pop," Ryutei replied in a deadpan tone. His father let out a hearty laugh, while Lunetta began to pout at her son's lack of "official" excitement.​"I'll take that as a yes," the scientist chuckled. He raised his hand, counting down with theatrical intensity. "Now... start... your... ENGINES!" 

​Ryutei kicked off, his skates carving through the air as he left faint, glowing trails of light in his wake. He heard his parents' exuberant cheers fade behind him, replaced by his own sudden, delighted scream as he rounded the first corner.

He tore through the base at top speed, the wind whistling past him. A startled scientist fumbled his files, papers fluttering like confetti as Ryutei blurred past. He was laughing now—until he saw a group of staff carrying loaded food trays at the far end of the hallway.

​"Oh cra—" Ryutei's shout was cut short as he collided with the staff. Food and trays went flying in a chaotic arc. He skidded across the floor, ending up in a heap of tangled limbs and leftovers. As his father rushed over to apologize to the dazed workers, Lunetta scrambled toward her son.

 ​"Oh god, sweetheart! Are you okay?" she cried, her voice thick with worry. Ryutei looked up, his face breaking into a wide, happy grin. Instead of getting up, he began sweeping his arms back and forth, making a "snow angel" in the mess of mashed potatoes and gravy. Lunetta paused, then gave a helpless shrug and laid down beside him, joining in. They beamed at each other, the sterile hallway forgotten.

 ​"I don't know what I'd do without you," Ryutei said, pulling himself up to throw his arms around her. "Love ya, Ma."

 ​"Oh, I love you mo-"


 ​The memory shattered.​In the silence of his parents' room, the record player ground to a rhythmic, scratching halt. The Paladin Ranger lifted the needle, the static dying instantly. He pulled off his helmet and let it thud onto the floor, unheeded. The room was a ghost of itself—grimy, neglected, and cold.

 ​Ryutei walked back into the chamber that had once been his world. He stopped before the cylinder; the glass was shattered now, the top half jagged and missing. He stared at his reflection in the shards, placing a hand against the cold surface where his mother's hand used to rest. He closed his eyes, his breath hitching as grief threatened to pull him under.

 ​A floorboard creaked.

 ​Instantly, the grief vanished, replaced by the instinct of a soldier. He spun around, his fist crackling with a surge of Grid Energy, ready to strike—only to freeze. His eyes widened as he recognized the figure standing in the shadows behind him.

"Dad..." Ryutei breathed, his voice trembling.​

"Heya, sport... I knew you'd come home," he said, his voice unusually soft. "How did it go?"

​Ryutei let out a bitter, hollow smirk. "Just like I thought, Pops. Those fakers weren't tough enough to stop me. So it was no big deal."

​But his father saw right through the bravado. He descended the stairs slowly, closing the distance until he stood directly in front of his son. He placed a heavy, grounding hand on Ryutei's shoulder. "Tell me what's wrong, my boy."

​"One of them... the Pink one... she reminded me of Her," Ryutei confessed, his voice cracking. "I can't get her out of my head." He felt the armor growing impossibly heavy, a useless shell against the grief clawing at his chest. "The pain... it's too much."

​He fought to maintain his stoic resolve, but the mask finally slipped when his father reached out, gently cupping his cheek with a hand that felt both comforting and cold.

​"And that," his father whispered, his thumb brushing Ryutei's cheek, "is why we have to punish them."


Tartarus Prison - Evening

In an isolated cell, a woman bolted upright in her bed. She gasped for air, her lungs burning as she fought to claw her way out of a nightmare. Trembling, she shifted on the edge of her cot, waiting for her heart to stop hammering against her ribs.

She is a tall woman with a curvy body. Her hair is two-toned. She has short, dark indigo hair with numerous scattered pink streaks on it. Her eyes are purple with a mauve shade framed by dark indigo-colored angled eyebrows. She wore a standard red-orange inmate jumpsuit issued to all the prisoners of Tartarus.

 She wore a standard red-orange inmate jumpsuit issued to all the prisoners of Tartarus

Her name is Kaina Tsutsumi, known by her alias Lady Nagant.

Lady Nagant was forced to do the government's dirty work and was now imprisoned before killing the former president of the Hero Public Safety Commission because of how corrupt he was.

​Once her breathing steadied, she pulled out an old picture from her pocket. The picture was of her at 24 years old standing next to her friend, a blonde-haired man, and a beautiful baby girl with purple hair being held safely in Nagant's arms.

Her eyes tracing the familiar lines of the photo. It was her only comfort in the silence—until the metal slide of her cell door screeched open.

​"Tsutsumi, you have a visitor," a female guard announced.

​Kaina started to grunt in annoyance, ready to dismiss whoever was bothering her, but she paused, a frown creasing her brow. "What do you mean? I haven't had a visitor in years."

​"Well, she says she knows you," the guard replied.

​Kaina's gaze drifted from the photograph to the small slit in the door. A flicker of curiosity but also a spark of forbidden hope ignited in her chest.

​"She?" Kaina whispered.

Escorted by ten security guards, Kaina walked in silence, her mind racing. What if it's her? What if she finally found me? It doesn't make sense... but what if? Her thoughts were a frantic loop until the lead guard came to a halt.

​"We're here," he grunted. The guards peeled away, flanking the entrance in a rigid line.

​Kaina stood before the heavy doors of the visiting room. As they slid open automatically, her hands trembled; a rare sign of nerves. She stepped toward the glass, desperate to see a specific face, but the hope vanished instantly, replaced by a familiar, crushing despair.

​"Hello, Kaina," Sayaka said. 

​Kaina's expression hardened into a mask of disappointment and simmering rage. Seeing the new President of the HPSC here, in Tartarus, felt like a personal attack. Left with no choice, she sat down, the silence between the two women stretching into a suffocating ten minutes. Finally, Sayaka broke it.

​"It's... been a long time, Kai—"

​"Cut the bullshit," Kaina interrupted, her voice like flint. "What do you want? I know something catastrophic must have happened for you to come crawling down here to get me." ​After finishing what she had to say, she wore a bitter, almost satisfied smirk, but Sayaka remained unnervingly composed.

​"Getting straight to the point, I see," the President replied coolly. "You've heard of the Power Rangers, I assume?"

​"Hard not to. Five kids who dropped out of the sky to play hero and stop a couple of terrorist attacks," Kaina spat. "I've heard the stories, mostly from the idiots who tried to hit U.A."

​"Well..." Sayaka paused, her eyes dark. "They're out of commission. Beaten by one who calls himself the 'Paladin Ranger.'"

Kaina froze, the air leaving her lungs at the mention of the name Paladin. She stared at the President, praying she had misheard. 

​"What did you just say?" Kaina asked, her voice dangerously low. 

​"I said he calls himself the Paladin Ranger," Sayaka repeated. Kaina let out a sharp exhale, dragging a hand across her face in a frustrated facepalm. "I can't confirm if he's truly connected to the Initiative—too many files were destroyed that night, as you well remember."

​"Yeah... I remember," Kaina muttered, her eyes narrowing as she studied Sayaka.

​"What I do know is that he's a catastrophic threat," Sayaka continued, her composure breaking as she slammed a hand onto the table. She squeezed her eyes shut, taking a ragged breath to steady herself. "He defeated the Rangers. All five of them. With them out of the picture, there's no telling what kind of destruction he'll unleash. I'm not even sure All Might could stop him... which is why I've come to you."

​Kaina tilted her head back and began to chuckle—a dry, bitter sound that lacked any warmth. "Me? Heh... that's a good one. What makes you think I give a damn about the world outside these walls?"

​Sayaka looked away, unable to meet her gaze as the former hero leaned in.​"Your 'hero society' is a farce," Kaina spat. "It's filled with arrogant, glory-hogging idiots who think they're living in an age of peace. In reality, they're just too blind to see the rot. So, no. I won't help you. And do me a favor—don't come back."

​Kaina stood up, the chair scraping harshly against the floor. She turned toward the door, her hand raised to signal the guards, but she stopped dead when Sayaka spoke, her voice now eerily calm.

​"What if... I could find your daughter?"

Kaina stared at her as if she had grown a second head, then slowly retreated to her seat.

​"I... what do you mean by that?" Kaina's voice wavered, a tremor beginning to take hold of her entire body.

​"I mean exactly what I said: I can find your daughter, provided she is still within Japan," Sayaka replied coolly. She leaned in, her gaze unwavering. "Stop the Paladin Ranger from causing further havoc. Bring him to justice, and I will put every resource at my disposal toward finding her. But if you refuse... then accept that her name will simply stay on the list of casualties. Do we have a deal?"

​Kaina looked down, her mind racing through the impossible choice. A heavy silence filled the room. Finally, she looked up, her expression hardened.

 ​"...Fine."


A day later, the forest was deathly quiet—until five streaks of vibrant light crashed into the earth. As the glow faded, the Rangers stood among the trees, fully recovered and ready for a rematch.

​"Ready or not, Paladin!" Kiba shouted, slamming his fists together. "Because we're back in business and we're here to kick your AS—" He paused, glancing at the towering pines instead of the cold metal he expected. "Wait. This isn't the secret base."

​"Duh, you dingus. We're going in stealth this time," Reina said, stepping up beside him. She adjusted her gear, her eyes narrowing. "We're here to investigate, not to pick a fight with the Paladin Ranger—as much as I'd personally love to."​

"Assuming he's even there," Ayumi added softly.

 ​Cyrus checked his morpher, tapping at the display. "And that's a big 'if.' Kat and Al would have found him by now if he were out in the open; they've been scanning the entire area before we got here."​

Sora chuckled, arching an eyebrow. "'Al'?"​

"Yeah, my nickname for Alpha," Cyrus said, looking at his friends for a hint of validation. "What? Is that... not a good one?"​

Ayumi stepped forward, placing a comforting hand on his shoulder and giving him a warm smile. "No, it's perfect."

Cyrus offered Ayumi a warm smile in return as she stepped back.The group fell silent, their eyes turning toward Sora, who was staring at the mountain peak with quiet intensity. After a moment, he turned back to face them.​

"What's the plan, Sor?" Reina asked.​

"We're going to find out what really happened here," Sora replied, his voice firm. "And figure out why the Paladin Ranger is so bent on revenge." He looked at each of them in turn, a small, familiar grin tugging at his lips. "So... is anyone ready?"

 ​His friends nodded in unison.​"Alright then," Sora said, punching his fist into his palm. "Let's Scooby-Doo this thing."

To Be Continued...

Hey, guys! Not much to say, so here's the new chapter for you guys. Enjoy!

Chapter Text

(Hero Force Intro)


Arasakas Base

After two and a half hours of grueling hiking, the Rangers finally reached the summit. Sora crested the ridge first, followed by Ayumi, Reina, and Cyrus. Kiba was the last to scramble up; he was completely out of breath, yet a triumphant grin plastered his face.  ​

"We... did... it... oh boy..." Kiba wheezed. His friends shared a chuckle, though Reina just shook her head fondly as Sora walked over to help him up.  ​

"Come on, man. No time to nap," Sora joked, hauling him to his feet.  ​

"Yeah, yeah, ye—Whoa." Kiba's voice trailed off as he saw what lay ahead. ​Before them sat the remains of a military base. Four vehicles were scattered across the clearing; one was flipped onto its roof, while the other three were nothing more than scorched, blackened husks. As the grim reality of the site set in, Kiba silently reached a hand toward Reina, making a persistent grabbing motion. "Eh... eh."  ​

Reina sighed, digging into her pocket and slapping a five-dollar bill into his palm. "Fine. Here."  ​

"Thank you very much," Kiba said, pocketing the win. ​While the others surveyed the wreckage, Cyrus approached a massive set of blast doors. He leaned in close, tapping the metal with a gloved finger. "I'd estimate this door is six-inch-thick solid steel on a pressurized latch," he began, his eyes scanning the frame. "Give me a moment to calculate the molecular density and invert the venting mech—" 

 ​BANG.

 ​Before Cyrus could finish his sentence, Reina and Kiba slammed their fists into the door simultaneously. The steel groaned, the latch snapped, and the massive slab fell forward, hitting the floor with a deafening thud.  ​

Cyrus stared at the empty doorway, his shoulders slumping. "I was going to do something cool," he muttered.  ​

Sora and Ayumi each offered him a sympathetic pat on the back as they walked past. "One day," they said in unison.


The heavy thud of the entrance door falling echoed through the base. Ryutei grunted, his body tensing as he prepared to morph, but his father raised a hand, stalling him.​

"Easy, son," his father murmured. Ryutei looked at him in total shock.

 ​"What? Dad, it's them! It's those fakers!" Ryutei let out a sharp, jagged laugh. "I should have known they'd forget their lesson so quickly."

​"If they are indeed the intruders you spoke of, then let's give them a proper welcome," his father responded. Both shared a dark, knowing smirk as they faded back into the shadows.​

Meanwhile, the Rangers stepped cautiously into the facility. ​"Whoa... what happened here?" Ayumi whispered, her eyes darting across the high-tech ruins.​

"It feels like nobody's been here for decades. I wonder if it's haunted." ​Reina noted, but after hearing this, Kiba stopped dead in his tracks, his shoulders beginning to tremble.

"Haunted?! Nobody said anything about this place being haunted!" he yelled, his voice echoing off the metallic walls.​

"Oh no," Reina groaned.​ Ayumi stepped in with a comforting smile. "Kib, Rei was just wondering. There's no need to be scar—"

 ​"Me? Scared? Ha!" Kiba cut her off, puffing out his chest in a desperate attempt to look tough. "Nothing scares me!"​

"Uh, yeah. Right," Sora said, giving him a sympathetic, 'I'm-so-sorry' look. "Do you remember middle school movie night?"


 ​Flashback

"AAAAAHH!!!" 

In the living room, Kiba lets out a blood-curdling shriek as 1995's Casper On the screen, Casper and Kat meet for the first time, both screaming at the top of their lungs. He lunges sideways, crushing Cyrus and Ayumi's hands in a death grip. Popcorn bowls fly into the air like confetti as the former duo yell in genuine pain. Sora and Reina scramble to pry Kiba's fingers loose before he breaks their bones.​

 ​Flashback Ends


 Back to the Present​

"In my defense, that was quite the shock!" Kiba snapped, holding up his hands.

"It was freaking Casper!" Reina shouted in the back.

 ​The group finally reached the center of the dark laboratory. Sora took charge, looking down the three diverging paths. 

 "Okay, let's split up. Kiba, you and Reina go left. Cyrus, take the middle and find the breaker—we need lights. Ayu, you're with me on the right."​


Cyrus headed down the center corridor, his flashlight cutting a lonely beam through the dust. "Just a dark, creepy hallway," he muttered to himself. "Nothing to be afraid of. I'm a Power Ranger. I'm a Power Ranger..."​

Hiss! 

A burst of steam erupted from a rusted pipe behind him. Cyrus jumped nearly out of his skin, spinning around with his heart hammering against his ribs. When he realized it was just a leak, he let out a frustrated grunt.​

"Get. A. Grip, Cyrus Hado! Everyone is counting on you." ​He turned back around... and slammed right into a solid chest.​

"Boo."​

The Paladin Ranger de-morphed instantly, Ryutei's smug face appearing inches from Cyrus'. The Blue Ranger didn't even try to be brave—he simply let out a horrified scream.


Kiba and Reina moved down the left corridor, but the latter couldn't keep her mouth shut. She looked back at him, her expression a mix of disbelief and annoyance.

​"Look, I'm just gonna come right out and say it: I can't believe you're scared of Casper!"

Kiba let out a loud, frustrated grunt at the comment. "Can we please drop this, Fukukado?!" he shouted. 

​"NO! I will not, dummy! Casper is one of my all-time favorite movies. I can't believe you don't like it!"

Kiba growled, spinning around to face her. "FINE—DO YOU REALLY WANNA—"

​He was cut off by a sudden rustle in the shadows. Both froze, frantically swinging their flashlights toward the noise until the beams landed on a small rat scurrying across the floor. Reina exhaled a long sigh of relief, while Kiba let out a shaky, nervous laugh.

​"Oh, thank goodness," Kiba muttered, wiping sweat from his forehead. "I'm pretty sure I thought that was... something else."

​He didn't notice the shadow deepening behind them. Ryutei hovered down silently, an ominous silhouette drifting into the light of their dropped beams. Before they could even turn, he lunged, taking them both down in a single, brutal motion.

​"Seriously..." Ryutei's voice was cold as he stood over them. "The yellow one was scared of Casper."


​Meanwhile, on the right path, Sora and Ayumi entered a bedroom that time had forgotten. It clearly belonged to a young boy, though dust now coated everything in sight.

​"Whoa. Look at all this stuff, it's soooo cute." Ayumi said softly, stepping inside first. Sora smiled, as he began to follow, her eyes drifting over the remnants of a childhood. "It was a home," Ayumi continued. "People actually lived here."​Sora reached down, picking up a framed picture from a cluttered desk. In the photo, a ten-year-old Ryutei looked into the camera with a pained, please-don't-cry expression. He was being pulled into a fierce hug by Lunetta, who was clutching a gift labeled Happy Mother's Day.

​"He had a family... this... this was Paladin' Ranger's old room," Sora whispered, finishing Ayumi's thought. Then, he began to look at the boy's face closely, a chill running down his spine. "That's... weird. Doesn't he look exactly like I did when I was ten?"

Ayumi watched Sora with a flicker of confusion. She began to step toward him, but her eyes caught something on the floor: a trail of footprints leading out of the room. She cast a worried glance back at Sora before slipping out to follow the trail.

​"I don't get it," Sora muttered to himself, pacing. "How could he look like that? If that was twelve years ago, I would've only been five, right?" He turned to ask Ayumi for her take, but the room was empty. "Ayu? Ayumi?"


​Meanwhile, Ayumi entered the darkened lab. She stopped in front of a shattered glass cylinder, her head tilting as she took in the wreckage. "A tube?" she whispered, her hand hovering near the jagged glass. "What was it for?"

​Suddenly, a shadow loomed. Ryutei appeared behind her, his hand clamping onto her shoulder. A surge of electricity tore through her, paralyzing her instantly. As her knees buckled, the Paladin Ranger caught her, lowering her gently to the floor.

​"I'm really tired of giving you and your friends warnings," Ryutei growled.

​Ayumi fought to keep her eyes open, her vision swimming as she looked up at his unmorphed face. "You... look... just like... Sor—" Her voice failed as she slipped into unconsciousness.


​Back in the corridor, Sora's pulse quickened. "Ayumi! Ayu! Come on, where did you go?"

​A heavy door nearby hissed open. Doctor Arasaka stepped out, stopping dead in his tracks. He was revealed to be a tall man in his mid 50s with shoulder-length pale dark blue/white hair white hair that flowed freely. He also sported a trimmed beard along his jawline and donned a lab coat.

 The color drained from his face as he stared at Sora. "How is this possible?" the doctor breathed, his voice trembling. "You look exactly like my boy."

​Sora took a step back, bewildered. "What do you mea—"

​A blur of motion cut him off. Ryutei materialized behind him, seizing Sora and slamming him against the wall with enough force to make the metal groan.

​"Like I told your Pink friend," Ryutei hissed, his fist beginning to glow with a lethal hum of energy, "I'm tired of giving warnings."

​Sora's eyes suddenly flashed with a strange, internal light. He didn't flinch. "WHERE IS SH—"

​He never finished the sentence. Ryutei's fist ignited, a roar of Grid Energy erupting as he threw a punch straight for Sora's head.


A moment later, the Rangers found themselves bound tightly to a cold metal pole. Sora groaned, his vision swimming as he blinked back to consciousness. As his POV cleared, he found Ryutei inches from his face, staring him down.

 As his POV cleared, he found Ryutei inches from his face, staring him down

​"Had a good nap, Red?" Ryutei asked dryly.

​"GA-AH!" Sora recoiled as much as the ropes would allow. "Wait—Paladin?!"

​"In the flesh," Ryutei replied, his gaze unblinking.

​"Are you guys seeing this?" Kiba chirped, his head whipping toward Sora. "Dude, he looks just like you. Like if you fused with Freckles and Todoroki—but mostly you." Sora shot Kiba a look of pure annoyance, but the observation lingered in the air.

​"Um, excuse me..." Ayumi spoke up. "Why exactly do you look like our friend?"

​"WHAT?! I don't look like him! He looks like me!" Ryutei snapped, causing Ayumi to yelp. He turned his glare back to Sora. "Why do you look like me!?"

​"YOU THINK I KNOW?!" Sora yelled back in comedic frustration.

"Hey, we'll ask the questions, new Ranger." Kiba spoke, before yelling. "Who are you!? Why do you look like Cap!?"

​"Shh! Children, children... enough with the shouting. I can't hear myself think."

​The voice drifted from the darkness as Doctor Arasaka stepped into the light. Cyrus gasped, his eyes widened.

​"No way... Doctor Ryuma Arasaka?!" the Blue Ranger cried out in shock.

​"You know me?" the Doctor, now Ryuma, asked, sounding genuinely curious.

​Cyrus let out a disbelieving laugh. "Know you? You're the CEO of Arasaka Enterprise! You and your wife are the modern-day Da Vincis!" His excitement faltered as a memory surfaced. "But... you're dead. The news said you both died in a plane crash."

​Ryutei grunted, turning his back on them with a bitter scowl. "Of course. They made everyone believe that."

​The realization hit Sora, Ayumi, and Reina all at once.

​"Wait—you're the one behind this," Sora accused. "You freed the Paladin Ranger!"

​"You ordered him to attack us!" Ayumi added.

​Reina, however, wrinkled her nose. "Also, what's with that musty old man smell, dude?"

Ryuma gasped dramatically, clutching his chest as if wounded. ​"How dare you!" He yelled out in an offended tone. "To insult me with such... unsolicited exposition!"

​"Dad." Ryutei spoke, placing a firm hand on his father's shoulder. The contact seemed to ground Doctor Arasaka, whose manic energy immediately cooled. "It's time to go."

​"Right. Apologies, my boy," Doctor Arasaka said. He smoothed his coat and turned back to the restrained Rangers with a chillingly polite smile. "It was wonderful to meet you young heroes, but Ryutei and I have business to attend to. Ta-ta for now!"

​Sora turned his gaze to Ryutei, his voice tight. "What is he talking about?"

​The Paladin Ranger looked down at his bound rivals, his voice devoid of emotion. "My old man is talking about destroying the HPSC."

​"WHAT!?" the Rangers shouted in unison. As they scrambled against their restraints, Cyrus leaned forward, desperation in his eyes. "Listen to me! With the technology at our disposal—all six of us—there's no telling how many will die! It won't just be the HPSC, Ryutei. It'll be trillions!"

​Ryutei met his gaze with total indifference. "It doesn't matter. Nothing matters. As long as Dad and I get our revenge, I'm good."

​"Why?! Why do this!?" Ayumi cried out, her voice breaking as she pleaded with him.

​"Because the HPSC took everything from us," the Paladin Ranger proclaimed, his body beginning to shimmer as he levitated above them. "They killed my mother right in front of me. And now, we're going to take everything from them."

​"Wait! Don't do this, Ryutei!" Sora yelled. "I know you're hurting, but don't let this change who you are!"

​Ryutei paused, looking down at the Red Ranger. "Tell me, Red... if you were in my stead? If they had butchered your mother while you watched? Would you, or would you not, want blood? Hm?"

​Sora froze. He opened his mouth to argue, to offer a counterpoint, but the words died in his throat. "I... I..."

​"Sora?" Ayumi asked, her worry shifting from Ryutei to her leader's silence.

​"Exactly," Ryutei said, his voice cold as ice. "I've spent twelve years reliving what they did to her. Today, I finally give my mother the justice she deserves."

​Ryutei pulled a small, unassuming device from his belt and surged it with a spark of Grid Energy. He tossed it carelessly toward the floor. Without another word, he teleported to his father's side, and the two vanished.

​The lab fell silent for a heartbeat. Kiba looked at the small object and scoffed. "Uh... nice magic marble. Real scary," he said sarcastically, glancing at Reina for backup.

​Suddenly, the device hissed. A pinpoint of infinite blackness erupted from its center, expanding into a localized singularity that began howling, devouring the equipment and floor tiles alike.

​"Ahh! Okay, that is actually very scary!" Kiba shrieked.

​"You just had to say something, didn't you!?" Reina yelled over the roar of the vacuum.

​"I know, I know! I'm sorry!"

​"Kat, Al! We have a situation!" Sora's voice crackled over the comms, barely audible over the roar of rushing air.

 ​"What's going on? There are energy spikes all over the place!" Katrina shouted, her voice tight with worry.  ​

"It's a mini-black hole!" Cyrus yelled. "It's going to strip the entire base down to the atoms!"

 ​"WHAT!?" Katrina and Alpha screamed in unison.  ​

The gravitational pull intensified, dragging the Rangers toward the swirling void. Thinking fast, Reina spotted a heavy-duty cable nearby. She lunged, clamping her teeth onto the rope to anchor herself, her muscles straining as she held the team back from the brink.  ​

"Sora, tell the team to let go!" Katrina's voice came through the comms, surprisingly steady. ​

"LET GO? Are you crazy!?" Sora yelled back.

​"Trust me!"  ​

Sora gritted his teeth. "Fine! Rei, let go!"

 ​"Are you insane!?" Reina muffled through the rope.

 ​"Trust Kat!"  ​

With a reluctant sigh, Reina released her grip. The team was instantly snatched by the gravity, screaming as they plummeted toward the abyss. But just as the darkness reached for them, the Rangers were suddenly engufled by in lights of their respective colors.

 ​They teleported out of the faculty and landed on the grass far outside the base. They scrambled to their feet just in time to watch the faculty implode. With a deafening roar, the base vanished, leaving nothing behind but a massive, smoking crater.  ​

"Yikes," Kiba remarked, dusting himself off. "Somebody better update Google Maps." 

 ​Sora turned his attention back to his comms, his expression hardening. "Kat, get us to my house. The police, All Might, and every hero in the city needs to know about the Paladin Ranger."

 ​"And his crazy daddy!" Kiba added.

"I'm on it!" Katrina confirmed, before teleporting the Rangers away.


The Arasakas watched the base crumble to ash on the monitors. Ryutei watched the destruction with a dark, satisfied glint in his eyes.

​"I've been trying to get them out of my hair since we met," Ryutei remarked, a hint of awe in his voice. "And you did it in several minutes, Pops."​

"There is nothing we cannot destroy together, my boy," the Doctor replied. He stepped toward the glowing interface of the command console. "But to eradicate our most hated foes, we must look beyond our own world. We must forge alliances."

 ​Ryutei tilted his head, intrigued. "What kind of alliance?"

 ​The Doctor's smile was sharp as he turned to give his son a paternal pat on the cheek. "The space-faring kind, my boy."​


Meanwhile at the Ukashi Residence​, Serena was losing a war against her own nerves. She had spent the afternoon cycling through her hobbies, anything to drown out her motherly instincts. None of it worked.

 ​She hit play on a saved voicemail, hearing Sora's voice for the tenth time. "Hey, this is—" The recording was cut off by a sudden, loud sneeze, followed by a muffled, "Oh, shoot!"​

Serena smiled despite herself, but the warmth quickly faded. "Hey, love," she answered. "I know your note said you were heading to the mountains to find that other Ranger... but come on, kid. Call me. Don't just leave a note. If you hear this, please—"​

A violent tremor shook the house, rattling the dishes in the kitchen. Serena spun around as the Rangers suddenly warped in the center of her living room, scorched and breathless.​

"MOM! We need your—" Sora stopped abruptly, realizing he was facing the hallway instead of his mother. "Cy? Do you mind?"

 ​"Oh, excuse me," Cyrus muttered, quickly pivoting the exhausted Sora around to face Serena.​

"MOM!" Sora shouted, his eyes wide with urgency. "We need your help. We need everyone's help to stop the Paladin Ranger—or else, everyone is dead!"

Serena contemplated for only a heartbeat before nodding firmly.

​"Yeah. I'm in," she said, crossing the room to the closet. She threw on her tactical jacket and checked her sidearm as Ayumi poked her head out, eyes wide.​

​"Really? You're in? Just like that?" Ayumi stammered. "Serena, this is going to be incredibly dangerous. You could get hurt!" 

​"Ayumi, honey, I'm an enforcer of 'Protect and Serve'," Serena replied, her voice steady as she holstered her weapon. "I know the risks, and frankly, I don't care. People are in danger. Let's move."

The Rangers watched her in stunned silence, their awe clear. Reina leaned toward Sora, who was beaming with pride. 

​"Coolest badass mom ever," she whispered.

​"I know," Sora whispered back, before realization struck him. "Wait! Mom, can you help us get out of these?"​

Serena glanced back, her eyes landing on the heavy chains binding her son and his friends. "OH SHOOT! I'll be right back—I'm going to the garage for the bolt cutters!"


Hawks Agency

"Hm?" Hawks uttered before he held his phone up to his ear to answer it. "Yeah, what's up, Jimmy?" he inquired, landing atop a pole as he folded his red wings in. "I know you don't like the nickname, but can't a guy have a little bit of fun?" he questioned with a chuckle and a shrug. Down below, his sidekicks arrived along with Fumikage, who was breathing heavily in exhaustion.

"What's goin' on up there, Hawks?" one of the sidekicks asked.

"Just got called by Nezu for a team-up!" the Wing Hero answered as he waved his phone to them. "Hey Tsukuyomi!" he called out to Fumikage, getting his attention as he was wiping the sweat away from his head. "How'd you feel about going on a mission?" he inquired curiously, causing his intern to blink in surprise. 

Tokoyami then balled his hands into fists determinedly. "I'd like nothing more," he answered.


Endeavor Agency​

"What!?" Endeavor roared into his phone, his grip tightening on the receiver. "What do you mean there's going to be an attack on the HPSC!?" ​He went silent, listening intently as the voice on the other end continued. His brow furrowed. "Another Ranger? So he isn't affiliated with the others... I see. I'm on my way."

​He ended the call with a sharp click, a low grunt of fury vibrating in his chest. "I should have known," he muttered to himself, his flames flickering with his rising temper. "We never should have trusted the fate of the planet to mere children."

​He threw open his office door, his presence filling the hallway. "Burnin! Shoto! Into my office. Now. It's an emergency."

​Shoto followed, his eyebrow raised in silent suspicion. Once they were inside, Moe Kamiji—better known as the Pro Hero Burnin—stepped forward, her usual fiery energy replaced by a look of genuine confusion.

​"What's the situation, sir?" she asked. As one of the top sidekicks among the thirty who staffed the Endeavor Agency, she knew that when the boss used that tone, something was about to burn.

"We've been requested for a mission...one involving those 'Ranger" brats." the Flame Hero responded to their surprise.


Mirko Agency

"Huh?" Mirko uttered in annoyance upon hearing the person upon her phone, "Look, pal..." she grumbled out. "I don't do team-ups, especially with people who're so by the book and-" She stopped and blinked in surprise after something else was said to her.

​"The Power Rangers? Ah, so the little rebels realize they need my help, huh!" Mirko grinned, leaning in closer to the transmission. "So, they're trying to take down a rogue Ranger who's outclassing them? Sounds like a blast. Don't start without me!"


Best Jeanist Agency

"I see," Best Jeanist responded from his office, holding up his phone to his right ear. "You'll have our cooperation," he assured, ending the call and exhaling a deep breath. He then ventured out of the office into the main space, getting his sidekicks' attentions. "Bakugo!" he called out, getting the attentions of his intern. "Gear up. We're teaming up with UA for an apprehension mission," he explained as he approached him.

"Eh!?" The ash-blonde narrowed his eyes in confusion. "What kind of mission are you talking about!?"

​After barking orders to his other sidekicks, Best Jeanist turned his calm, focused attention back to his intern. ​"We are going to assist your classmates," Jeanist stated smoothly. "The Power Rangers."

​The news hit Bakugo like a physical blow. For a split second, his face was a mask of pure shock, before it twisted into a familiar, explosive rage.

​"WHAT!? ME AND THOSE DAMN CRAYONS AREN'T FRI—"

Bakugo's protest was cut short as high-tension denim thread erupted from Jeanist's sleeves, instantly mummifying the boy in a reinforced blue cocoon.

​"Hush, child," Best Jeanist scolded, already turning to walk and dragging the bound Bakugo behind him like a piece of luggage. "We are in a hurry, and your 'crayons' are waiting."

​As he was hauled across the floor, Bakugo thrashed violently, muffled explosions popping fruitlessly against his denim restraints.

To Be Continued..

Notes:

And that's a wrap!

Now that things are really heating up, the Rangers are now teaming up with several Pros to stop the father-son vengeful plan. Which also includes...Endeavor and Bakugo joining, so you can already tell sparks WILL be flying in this formation. Also, this is taking a place a bit before 2 days before the Attack on Hosu. Which means the Rangers will finally met Stain as well.

And yes, I know...I'm basically do a version of the Sonic 3 plot. But only because it was THAT good!

Chapter Text

(Hero Force Opening)


UA - Nezu's office

It was later that day that the Rangers (along with Serena and Katrina) were now in the principal's office as they blinked in surprise to find the other heroes and students that were gathered there. Aside from those of the I.U.A., which consisted of EraserHead, Vald King Midnight, Ectoplasm, Endeavor, Hawks, Mirko, and Best Jeanist were present. And with them were their interns.

"Oh, Rangers," Shoto chimed in, getting the Rangers' attention as they noticed the Half-Cold, Half-Hot Quirk user approach them.

"Shoto!" Sora greeted, "So I'm guessing your dad was called in too, huh?" he assumed.

​"Yes, he did. And he also mentioned a rogue Ranger," Shoto said, his gaze narrowing. "At first, I didn't believe it. I couldn't imagine any of you turning villain. But seeing you all gathered here... it changes things. So, tell me who's this rogue Ranger I keep hearing about?"

​The Rangers exchanged a heavy look before Ayumi finally spoke. "You'll find out soon."

​"Okay," Shoto replied, accepting the non-answer for now. He turned his attention toward Serena and Katrina, his expression unreadable. "And who are they?"

"Oh, that's our mentor Katrina and Sora's mom, Serena Ukashi." Cyrus replied. 

​"I see..." Shoto muttered, before stepped toward the two women and performed a formal ojigi, his bow so deep and sincere it clearly amused Serena and Katrina.

​"It is a pleasure to meet you both," the Half-Cold Half-Hot hero said. He turned specifically to Katrina and bowed again. "Thank you for teaching the Rangers. And Miss Ukashi..."

​Serena raised a hand, her smile widening. "There's no need for all that, kiddo. You're making us sound like ancient elders or something—well, except for Kat here."

​"Hey..." Katrina muttered, her tone a perfect blend of annoyance and amusement.

​Shoto couldn't help but smile; for a fleeting moment, being with the two of them felt like being with his mother again. But the tender moment vanished when a booming, familiar roar shattered the air.

​"CRAYONS!"

​The Rangers jumped, spinning to face their most persistent classmate. Serena and Katrina tilted their heads in confusion at the strange nickname, while Shoto let out a sigh of profound exhaustion.

​"Bakugo, why are you—WHOA!" Sora started, his voice trailing off as he processed the sight. Sora, Ayumi, and Cyrus bit their lips, fighting a losing battle against the urge to laugh. Katrina and Serena, however, remained stony-faced and unamused. Reina and Kiba possessed no such restraint.

​"HOLY CRAP! WHAT THE HECK, BAKUGO!?" they howled, doubling over as they pointed at his perfectly groomed, side-parted hair.

​"Stop laughing! My hair's gotten used to this and I can't get it back to normal!" Bakugo snarled, his face reddening as the laughter intensified. A small explosion sparked in his palm, his voice dropping to a dangerous growl. "Did you not hear me? I'll kill you both!"

​Kiba and Reina exchanged a glance before descending into a fresh fit of hysterics. "I'D LIKE TO SEE YOU TRY, PRETTY BOY!" Reina dared him.

​"THAT'S IT!" Bakugo screamed.

​He lunged into the air, but before he could launch his assault, his body was snapped back, bound instantly in coils of high-tension denim. A tall, elegant figure stepped from the shadows, calmly adjusting his high collar.

​"How many times must I tell you, child?" asked the Fiber Hero: Best Jeanist. The No. 4 Hero sighed, his eyes fixed on his unruly student. "A true hero must maintain a positive image and composure. Raw destruction is simply... unfashionable."

​Jeanist turned his attention to the group, his gaze lingering on their unique gear. "Ah, you must be the Power Rangers. A pleasure to make your acquaintance."

​"Yeah... you too," Sora managed to say, sharing a look of bewilderment with his team. They hadn't expected a Top Ten Hero to appear, but they knew they needed every ally they could get against the Paladin Ranger.

​As Bakugo continued to thrash violently against his denim restraints, Tokoyami looked down at the struggling blonde, crossing his arms over his cloak.

​"Even in bonds, his ferocity burns bright," Tokoyami remarked with his  characteristically dark poeticism. "Yet, it is a chaotic light."

​"Well, well, well... if it isn't the little rebels Mirko mentioned," a charming voice called out.

​The Rangers turned to see a young man of average height with a lean, narrow build. His feathery, ash-blond hair was swept back in a mess of tufts that arched like wings above his head.

"H-Hawks?!" Cyrus and Ayumi stammered in surprise.

"No way!" Kiba gaped with shock.

 With a casual swagger, the Pro Hero approached Sora and offered a hand.

 ​"Hey there" he said with a grin. "And you must be the mysterious Sora Ukashi, leader of this ragtag bunch, right? Nice to meet you."

​Sora raised an eyebrow at the word mysterious. Something about the Hero felt "off," but he forced himself to play along. He took his hand, his grip cautious. "Yeah... you too. But I'm not that mysterious."

​"You're kidding, right? You're basically a ghost." Hawks chirped. He started to mimic a cartoonish spirit, waving his hands theatrically toward Sora.

"Whoo-oo-oo-oo... pfft, hahaha!"

​The Red Ranger just stood there, his face scrunched in a look of utter confusion as he watched the Pro Hero lose it at his own joke.

​"Is he always like that?" Reina asked, watching the scene with a skeptical eye until sudden weight settled on her shoulder as someone leaned into her. Before the Ranger could snap at the intrusion, she caught the scent of ozone and adrenaline and froze in surprise.​'

"Nah, you'll get used to it," Mirko answered with a lazy grin. "He claims it's part of his charm." 

"No way!" Kiba shouted in excitement. "The Rabbit Hero, Mirko!"

​Mirko released her grip on Reina, shoving the girl aside as she turned her piercing gaze toward the Rangers. A wild grin spread across her face.

​"I knew it! I was right to call you rebels from the start!" she barked. "You've got that look in your eyes, the look of people who don't care about the rules to do the right thing."

​The Rangers exchanged uncertain glances. It was Ayumi who finally found her voice.

​"Why call us rebels?"

​Before the words had fully left her mouth, Mirko lunged. She snatched the Pink Ranger off the ground with one hand, hoisting her up like a trophy. Ayumi let out a startled yelp as the Rabbit Hero grinned, her eyes wild with excitement.

​"Because, shortie, everywhere I go, I'm surrounded by 'by-the-book' losers who say 'Don't do that' or 'Follow the law,'" Mirko barked. She pulled Ayumi inches from her face, making the Pink Ranger yelp again. "But you Rangers? You take the law into your own hands and don't give a damn what anyone else says! I've been dying to meet a crew with this much backbone!"

Soon, the sound of heavy footsteps caught everyone's attention as Endeavor marches towards the group, drawing a scowl on Sora's face. "Ah, you." He spat lowly.

"Wow, I didn't think that Endeavor would show up." Ayumi said with a gasp.

"I don't remember asking for his assistance." Katrina noted.

​"I should have known you would bring this chaos upon us," Endeavor growled. He loomed over the Rangers, his flaming mantle flickering with disdain as his gaze settled on Sora. "I told you once before: those without Quirks belong on the sidelines. Give up this charade and leave the hero work to—" 

"Wow, rude much?" Reina quipped, earning a glare from the Flame Hero. "For your information, Mr. Number 2 Hero, we're the VIPs here."

"The Pros can the situation better than the five of you, considering that you don't have Quirks and have to rely on your physical abilities." Endeavor countered. "I don't care if you're allied with U.A.'s Principal, leave now. You'll only get in the way."

"Endeavor, sir?" Cyrus spoke up. "If you say you can handle things, then let me ask you this, if you have to face a monster that's grown to the size of a building, how are you going to take it down before it squashes you like a grape?"

Endeavor didn't have an answer and just scoffed before he walked towards a random spot in the office that's far away from the Rangers as he then leaned on a wall. 

"Yeah, he's going to be a problem." Kiba commented.

"What was that?" Serena questioned, walking up to them.

​"I'll tell you later, Mom." Sora told her, leaving Serena to narrow her eyes at Endeavor.

 ​A sudden clap echoed through the room getting everyone's attention along with those of the other heroes and interns.

"Now, now, everyone! Let us focus on the matter at hand." Nezu chimed in happily, before looking at Cyrus. "Mr. Hado. If you wouldn't mind..."

"Of course." The Blue Ranger nodded was now showing a holographic projection of the main building of the HPSC. "Okay," The Blue Ranger spoke. "As you can see, this here is the main headquarters of the HPSC in Japan."

"Alright, let's review this." Aizawa said, leaning over the table. "At dawn, the police will evacuate the HPSC headquarters and the surrounding blocks. We need a clear perimeter so no civilians get caught in the crossfire."

​​Katrina stepped forward, picking up the thread. "Alpha and I have developed a modified version of the U.A. defense systems. But instead of shielding a building, it will project a localized dome—a combat arena designed to isolate the Paladin Ranger and the Hero Force from the rest of the city."

​"Wait—you're letting them fight this guy alone?" Serena interjected. She looked imposing in her armored police gear, but her voice was tight with worry, as she turns to the Rangers. "Didn't you told me that you lost to this guy, even when together?"

​"Don't worry, Miss S. We're bringing the big guns," Kiba said, stepping in with a confident flex. When the room fell silent and everyone just stared at him, he blinked, his bravado wavering. "You know... because All Might is the big gu—"

​"Yeah, they get it, Kiba," Reina interrupted, rolling her eyes as Ayumi gave the boy a sympathetic pat on the back. 

Reina turned her attention back to the map. "Once we're inside that dome, we're hitting that asshole head-on—All Might and us."

​Vlad King stepped forward, his voice steady and authoritative. "The police and the remaining Pro-Heroes will be on standby for backup. The moment that dome breaks, we move in."

"Indeed." Nezu nodded "I know the amount of heroes here seems excessive, but we can never be too careful when it comes to things like this," he mentioned seriously.

"Shouldn't be much of a problem." Endeavor answered, "Besides..." he continued, looking around at the Pros, "with the forces we have now, I don't think we have much to concern ourselves with," he affirmed, seeing the plentiful amount of heroes amongst them.

"Endeavor's right," Hawks chimed as he flew over them, getting their attentions, "I think we're gonna show these guys quite a time todayt," he mentioned assuredly.

"Let's bring down the hammer of justice," Mirko insisted of the group, smirking furiously.

With a raised hand, Best Jeanist then stepped forward. "Before that, I believe there's another issue: Who exactly is the Paladin Ranger?"

"Of course," Katrina replied. She stepped toward the center of the table, her hands moving in a fluid arc. With a shimmering hum, several holographic displays flickered into existence, bathing the room in a soft blue glow.​

"His birth name is Ryutei Arasaka," she announced, the images zooming in on the boy behind the glass. "He is the son of Doctors Ryuma and Lunetta Arasaka."​

The air in the room seemed to vanish. Present Mic stood so abruptly his chair screeched against the floor. "Wait... the Arasakas?! You mean the heads of that huge company that got shut down twelve years ago?"

"Something doesn't add up," Midnight said, pacing as she checked her notes. "The Arasakas were public about their struggles; Lunetta couldn't have children. Yet, this Paladin Ranger calls himself Ryutei Arasaka." She paused, looking toward Aizawa. "Maybe it was a private adoption?"

Aizawa shook his head, his eyes narrowed and tired. "Unlikely. There would be a paper trail, and the Arasakas are too high-profile to skip that kind of red tape. Besides, the timing is too convenient."

Thirteen stepped in. "Also, sometime around December, I heard rumors of the government approaching them with a 'special project.'"

Cyrus raised a hand. "May I step in, Thirteen?"​

"Of course," she replied, stepping aside.​

"Miss Thirteen is right," Cyrus continued, his expression darkening. "When we first tracked the Paladin Ranger, we discovered a base that appeared to be abandoned. But looking at the site... something about it felt wrong. It wasn't just empty; it felt like a cover-up."

​"What exactly are you implying?" Best Jeanist asked, his brow furrowing in curiosity. Katrina gave a sharp flick of her wrist, commandingly shifting the holographic displays to show the internal surveillance footage from the base.​

"From the data I've managed to recover, it appears that the Paladin Ranger was in the midst of a violent rampage, one that nearly brought the entire facility down," Katrina explained.

 ​She paused the footage on a flickering image of the Ranger locked in high-speed combat. "During the chaos, he engaged an unknown assailant. He was dominating the exchange until a sudden distraction broke his focus. That single opening allowed his opponent to seize the advantage and end the fight."

Ayumi drifted into a deep silence, her mind racing through the clues like a flickering reel of film. Suddenly, the disparate pieces snapped together. Her eyes went wide, and she let out a sharp, audible gasp of realization.

"Wait, what if Lunetta dying was the thing that got Ryutei to be distracted in his fight. I mean, he did say the HPSC was the one who killed her."

This made everyone (minus the Rangers and Katrina) look at the Pink Ranger in shock and confusion.

Ayumi turned her gaze toward Katrina, her expression grave. "Kat, you said Ryutei was in the midst of a violent rampage at the base, right?"

​Katrina nodded slowly. "Yes, that's right. It was total chaos."

​"What are you on about, girl?" Endeavor interjected, his voice dripping with his usual impatient, annoyed tone. The Rangers, Katrina, and Serena immediately leveled a collective glare at the Flame Hero, but Ayumi didn't let the interruption break her focus.

​"What if the HPSC realized they were losing their grip on Ryutei?" Ayumi proposed, her voice steadying as the theory took shape. "What if they sent their own black-ops team to 'retire' the project and erase every trace of his existence?"

​The room went silent. Even Endeavor stayed quiet as she continued.

​"Think about it. The soldiers move in to execute the Arasakas. Ryutei snaps. He goes on a rampage to protect his parents, eventually clashing with the soldiers' commander. But then..." Ayumi's voice softened with a trace of grief. "Mrs. Arasaka tries to intervene. She tries to calm Ryutei down, to stop the violence... and that's when one of the soldiers opens fire. They didn't just kill a scientist; they murdered his mother right in front of him."

​"This is absurd," Endeavor barked, his voice heavy with judgment. "You are leveling dangerous accusations against the very agency that maintains the fabric of our society. Tell me—why would the HPSC keep a 'Paladin Ranger' a secret in the first place? What possible end would that serve?"

​A heavy silence fell over the group as they processed the theory. Finally, Serena turned toward Ayumi.

​"Honey, I hate to say it, but 'Flame-brain' over there is right," Serena said, nodding toward Endeavor. "It's a solid theory, but without evidence, they're just accusations."

​Ayumi's shoulders slumped, and she let out a quiet, defeated sigh. But before the doubt could settle, Katrina stepped forward. She placed a reassuring hand on the Pink Ranger's shoulder, a knowing smile playing on her lips as she looked between them.

​"You mean the files I downloaded before the base was destroyed?" Katrina asked. "The ones right here?"

"Huh?"

Katrina gave a faint, knowing chuckle. She opened her left palm, and a holographic folder shimmered into existence above her glove. "This is it," she said. "Everything we need to know about the Paladin Initiative."

​Ayumi leaned in, her eyes wide. "Whoa, Kat... how did you even get your hands on that?"

​"Before Ryutei so rudely interrupted you Rangers, Alpha and I managed to pull these from a surviving terminal," Katrina explained, a triumphant glint in her eyes. "But it wasn't just any computer. These files belonged to Doctor Lunetta herself."

​"Ryutei's mom?" Reina questioned, her brow furrowing as the team stepped forward.​

Katrina nodded solemnly. "It's all here. Yet, her private life and her scientific data are blurred together."

​"Principal Nezu, we need access to the computer room!" Sora called out.

"Of course, this meeting is over, anyway." Nezu chirped, clapping his hands together.

​"What!?" Endeavor's voice boomed, his temper causing the flames around his shoulders to roar with sudden heat. He turned a searing glare toward the Rangers. "You don't have that authority! I don't take orders from masked vigilantes!"

​"With all due respect," Sora interrupted the Flame Hero, "we're glad you're on our side, but this part is Ranger business now."

Endeavor snarled at this. "Don't get all smart with me boy. You may think you're heroes, but you're just a bunch of children pretending to be adults!"

​"Really? Let's talk about your performance during the Imperial Army's last attack," Kiba said. He tapped his chin, feigning deep thought, before snapping his fingers in mock realization. "Oh! That's right. You got tossed head-first into a trash bin."

"Why you-"

​"ENOUGH!"

​Katrina's voice cut through the room with a chilling, absolute authority. The sheer weight of her tone was enough to make even Endeavor—the fiery Number One Hero—hesitate and begrudgingly take his seat.

​"We don't have time for petty infighting," the A.I. mentor continued, her digital eyes scanning the room. "We have to focus on the matter at hand. Don't worry, we won't leave you out of the loop." She added a sharp, hurried postscript as she began to phase through the heavy door: "Not this time, anyway."

​As she vanished through the wall, Cyrus leaned closer to Reina, his voice dropping to a cautious whisper. "Speaking of the Empire... isn't it weird that they haven't attacked lately? The silence is starting to get to me."

"Yeah. No kidding." Reina agreed, looking up at the ceiling. "What are they up too?"

​"You don't think they're trying to recruit him, do you?" Ayumi asked, her voice tight with worry. "Think about it; Ryutei is blinded by revenge, and they have the technology to level entire cities."

"I don't know." Sora replied, shaking his head. "But we need to stop them either way."

​"Rangers!"

​The team's heads snapped toward the sound. They saw Katrina standing in the doorway of the computer room, her hand waving them forward with urgent energy. The sight of her brought a wave of relief, and a few small, tired smiles broke through their weary expressions.

​"This way!" she called, ushering them into the safety of the lab.


​Moments later, the Rangers were huddled around one of the computers with Katrina. With a precise tap of her finger, she began a direct data-stream, downloading the encrypted files into the system. As soon as the progress bar hit one hundred percent, Ayumi took the mouse, her eyes narrow with focus as she clicked the first video file. Then, Lunetta Arasaka appears.

"​I know I had my doubts," Lunetta said to the camera, her voice trembling. "But we're building a hero to preserve life, not end it. I have concerns, yes... but I'll figure it out. I have to." She looked up, blinking back tears and wiping her eyes with a shaky hand. "It's just... it's so great to finally be a mother." She stood abruptly, ending the recording.

​"She seems so nice," Ayumi whispered, her voice soft with sympathy. "And so sad."

​"Yeah..." Sora replied. He clicked the next file, bringing up a video of Lunetta at her desk.

​"A butterfly flew into my office this morning," Lunetta said, looking noticeably brighter, even radiant. "They say tiny things have huge impacts. I agree wholeheartedly." She leaned forward, her expression shifting into that of a scholar.

"Now, to business. In the metaphysics of identity, can a humanoid truly have that? And if so, what makes them unique?"

​She paused, rummaging through the papers on her desk. "Lost my pen. Great..." As she stood up to search, the camera revealed her heavily pregnant silhouette.

​"Whoa," Kiba muttered quietly. "She looks ready to pop." ​Ayumi and Reina instantly smacked him in the back of the head. "Ow! Sorry!"

​The next video flickered to life. It was Lunetta and a baby Ryutei. "Peek-a-boo!" she chirped, and the room was filled with the sound of a mother and son's shared laughter.

​The screen cut sharply to a different scene. The laughter was gone, replaced by a baby's whimpering. On the screen, Lunetta was carefully pressing a syringe into a tiny Ryutei's arm. The infant's face twisted in pain.

​"I know, baby. I'm sorry," Lunetta whispered, her own face contorted with guilt. "I hate this too." Once the injection was finished, she scooped him off the table and pulled him tight against her chest. "There. All done." She kissed his cheek, then leveled a sharp, pained glare at the person filming.

​"I hate this, Ryu," she snapped.

​"I know," Ryuma's voice came from behind the lens, steady but heavy with his own burden. "But it's the only thing keeping him stable."

Lunetta stopped glaring at her husband and sighed a bit, but then she saw Baby Ryutei looking at her as he was now touching her face. She laughed a bit and started to make silly faces, making her and the future Paladin Ranger laugh. The video then ends.

​Silence filled the room. The Rangers and Katrina stood frozen, staring at the empty monitor. Reina frowned in silence while Kiba fought a losing battle against his tears, biting his lips to stay composed. Beside them, Ayumi wept openly. Sora stepped closer, placing a grounding hand on her shoulder, his own expression grim.

​Only Cyrus remained motionless, locked in deep thought. "'It's the only thing keeping him stable'..."

​"Hm?" Katrina glanced at the Blue Ranger as he turned to face the team, his eyes sharp behind his glasses.

​"That's what Doctor Ryuma said. I'm guessing something happened to Ryutei when he was a baby." Cyrus hypothesized.

​Ayumi's breath hitched as a memory clicked into place. She wiped her eyes and rose to her feet with sudden intensity. "Wait... before Ryutei knocked me out back at the base, I saw a room next to his old bedroom. There was a huge tube in the middle of the room."

"A tube...?" Sora echoed in confusion.

"Maybe it was an experiment gone wrong and he was kept inside." Kiba threw in. "Like in the old sci-fi movies."

"Perhaps, but the Command Chamber's scanners did pick up a worrisome amount of Grid Energy." Katrina stepped in.

Reina sighed with her arms crossed. "Well, not like we can investigate the place, considering it's long gone inside a black hole."

​"Yeah, I hear ya. But there's gotta be a record of that somewhere—minus all the heartwarming family stuff," Kiba said, his fingers flying across the keyboard. After a few tense seconds, he leaned back. "Ah-ha! Found it."

​The Rangers and Katrina crowded around the screen, their faces illuminated by the harsh glow of a file labeled: RYUTEI'S AFFLICTION.

Kiba tapped the screen, and the video flickered to life. Doctor Lunetta stared back at them, her face, one of grief. Her mascara had trailed down her cheeks in dark, jagged lines, and her eyes were rimmed with red. She looked up, startled for a second as she realized the camera was already recording.

​"I think... I think this might be the worst week of my life," she whispered, her voice cracking. "One second, he was fine. He was just... and then—"

​She choked on the words, squeezing her eyes shut. She leaned back, forcing herself to take ragged, trembling breaths in a desperate attempt to keep from spiraling. 

​"I know this was two days ago, but it feels like it happened only yesterday," Lunetta's voice crackled from the recording. The Rangers and Katrina exchanged confused glances, their attention locked on the flickering screen.

​"I thought it would be a normal day," she continued, her eyes red on the video. "We told him if he stayed on his best behavior, we'd do something special. One moment, the boys were just out there playing football. The next... Ryutei was clutching his chest. He looked so small."

​She took a shaky breath. "Ryuma and I ran to him, trying to understand what was happening, and then—an electromagnetic surge just... erupted from his body. It sent us flying. When we finally came to, Ryutei was out cold. The physicians say the coma could last six months. Maybe more."

​Lunetta buried her face in her hands, her voice muffled and trembling. "I don't understand. Unless... it has to be that technology. The components we used to create him. It has to be the cause. I'm sure of it."


Deep within the decaying remains of the Nichitsu Ghost Town, the skeletal ruins of old mining homes stood as silent witnesses to a new kind of power. At the town's center, a massive aircraft loomed like a grounded leviathan. ​Doctor Ryuma Arasaka sat nearby, dryly swallowing a handful of pills with a swig of water. A few feet away, Ryutei—fully morphed as the Paladin Ranger—paced with restless energy.

​"Grr..." He grunted, his boots crunching on the gravel as he stopped and began to tap his foot in a sharp, rhythmic annoyance. Ryuma watched him, a faint, bittersweet smile touching his lips.

​'Like mother, like son.' he thought. 'Is this really what you would have wanted for us, Lunetta?' He quickly shook the thought away, forcing his focus back to the mission.

​"Easy, son," Ryuma said, his voice calm. "They'll be here."

​Ryutei turned his helmet head toward his father. "When, Dad? Because you've been saying that for the last hou—"

​He was cut off by a sudden, searing beam of light that slammed into the earth directly in front of them. As the brilliance faded, Scrozzle stood in its place.

​Ryutei let out a long, defeated sigh, his shoulders slumping. He looked up to see his father wearing a maddeningly smug expression.

​"Don't even say it," the Paladin Ranger muttered.

​Ryuma stood up, smoothing his coat as he approached the robotic scientist. Ryutei followed a step behind, his posture shifting back into a guarded, soldierly stance as his father began the introduction.

​"Greetings. It's wonderful to finally meet in person," Ryuma said, his tone perfectly professional. "I am Doctor Ryuma Arasaka. And this... is my son, Ryutei."

Chapter Text

(Hero Force Opening)


"So... you made a deal without my supervision."

Alsatia's voice was cold, hanging over the silence as Sora pulled on his boots, lacing them with a sharp, practiced tug.

"I—I know I overstepped my place! But please, my lady, allow me to explain!"​ As Scrozzle's frantic plea echoed, Ayumi slid into her jacket, zipping it up in one smooth motion. Nearby, Reina snapped her belt buckle into place with a definitive click.

​"Then explain..." Alsatia's voice drifted over as Kiba methodically wrapped his hands, pulling on his fingerless gloves with a snap. "Why have you formed an alliance with the Paladin Ranger? The very same individual I have been hunting since the moment he appeared."

​"Because, Your Grace..." Scrozzle's voice took over the narration while Cyrus stood nearby, sharpening the tip of his lance. "The Paladin Ranger and his father are blinded by a thirst for vengeance. They care nothing for humanity, only that they have their revenge. They are not your allies, my lady... they are your pawns." 

​The scene cut back to the throne room. Alsatia stared down at Scrozzle. The robotic scientist fought to maintain his composure, but his gears whirred with a nervous rattle; inside, he was terrified. 

​After a heavy silence, the Heir to the Empire smiled. She began to clap, the sound echoing coldly through the hall.​ "You've served me well, Scrozzle," Alsatia said smoothly.

​Scrozzle's optical sensors brightened with relief. "Thank you, my lady! You will not regre—"

​"I wasn't finished." Her voice dropped an octave, cutting him off like a blade. "Try a stunt like this again... and there will be nothing left of you to scrap. Do I make myself clear?"

​She tilted her head, her eyes suddenly glowing with a low, murderous heat. Scrozzle let out a sharp, audible gulp, his metallic frame trembling.

​"Understood..." he stammered.

​Instantly, the glow vanished. Alsatia's expression reverted to one of bored elegance. "Lovely... You're dismissed." 


Meanwhile, in Shizuoka, Doctor Arasaka emerged from the airship alongside Ryutei, spreading his arms wide.

​"Shizuoka, baby!" he shouted into the wind.

​Sprawled out before the father and son was the sprawling cityscape, and rising above the hills like a fortress was the Headquarters of the HPSC. Ryutei's fists clenched so tightly his knuckles turned white; the mere sight of the building made his Grid Energy hum with a lethal intent.

​"Ah, the HPSC's home base," the Doctor said, turning toward the Ranger with a proud smile. "We made it, my boy."

​"Then what are we waiting for!?" Ryutei demanded. He took a predatory step toward the city, but the Doctor quickly moved to intercept him.

​"Ah—no, no, no!" the Doctor cried, his tone bordering on panic. "Not so fast, Ryu. We can't move in just yet!"

​Ryutei leveled a flat, incredulous stare at his father. "Dad. The HPSC is right there. Let me go in and tear through anyone in my way. I want my revenge!"

​The Doctor raised a calming hand, his eyes glinting.

"Patience, sport. We must meet with our new allies first. Trust me... I promise we will have our revenge. And it will be on a scale you couldn't possibly imagine."

​A warping portal rippled into existence beside the Arasakas, sparking with dark energy as Scrozzle stepped through, followed closely by a silent, looming Batzler.

​"Ah, Mr. Scrozzle!" Doctor Ryuma greeted them, though Ryutei's reaction was far less welcoming. The boy narrowed his eyes, his posture tensing as he looked at the mechanical creatures. Ignoring his son's suspicion, Ryuma pressed on. "Has your Queen agreed to our terms?"

​"Well, of course, Doctor Ryuma," Scrozzle replied, his robotic voice grating with a sinister cheer. "It's a perfect arrangement. You and your son get your petty revenge, and we finally get to conquer this miserable planet." The scientist gestured toward the portal with a metallic hand. "Now, come on. We've got... dirt to do!"

​Scrozzle turned to his subordinate with a sharp snap of his fingers. "suit..." ​

The Batzler stepped forward and clicked open a heavy briefcase. Inside, nestled in protective casing, lay a specialized suit designed specifically for Ryuma.

Ryuma gasped, his eyes wide as he turned toward the robotic scientist.

​"Scrozzle, you shouldn't have!" the Doctor exclaimed. Scrozzle merely waved a dismissive metallic hand, his gears whirring in a nonchalant shrug. Ryutei, however, didn't share the enthusiasm. He stepped forward, tapping his father's left shoulder with a heavy, armored hand.

​"Dad? A moment," the Paladin Ranger said. Though confused, Ryuma nodded, following his son behind the wing of their parked aircraft. Once they were shielded from view, Ryutei leaned in, his voice a low, urgent whisper.

​"Are you sure about this? Are you sure they are the ones to help us get justice for Mom?"

​Ryuma looked shocked by the question. "Son, where is this coming from? We need all the help we can get." He reached out, his palm warm against Ryutei's cold cheek, but the Ranger pulled away, his movements stiff.

​"But look at them!" Ryutei gestured vaguely toward the mechanical monsters. "They're nothing but killers. I'm strong enough to get what we want on my own, Dad. I don't need monsters."

​"And what happens if your fellow Rangers have a secret weapon hidden in reserve?" the Doctor countered, his voice sharp with logic and paternal worry. "They haven't used it before, but what if they do now? They could damage your implants, Ryutei. They could break you."

The Paladin Ranger looked down, his fists clenching as anger surged through him. Sensing the tension, the Doctor placed a softening hand on his shoulder.

​"With their armies acting as a shield, you'll have the edge you need to finish those imposters," Ryuma urged. Satisfied he had made his point, the Doctor turned and walked back toward the robotic duo.

​Scrozzle leaned toward the Batzler, his optic sensors glowing as he whispered a command. "Babysit the stinkin' Ranger. Keep him and our forces on a low boil for now... while I handle Daddy Dearest."

​"Remain with the Batzlers for the time being, son!" Doctor Ryuma called out, not looking back as he and Scrozzle made their way toward the HPSC Headquarters.

​Ryutei watched them go, his suspicion radiating through his posture. When one of the Batzlers stepped forward, offering a metallic hand through the shimmering portal, the Paladin Ranger didn't hesitate. He slapped the hand away with a sharp crack of his gauntlet.

​"Get that out of my face," he spat, his voice cold and flat.


Meanwhile, across the city near the HPSC towers, Kiba paced impatiently along the edge of a high-rise. He tapped his helmet, opening a channel on the team's comm-link.

​"Guys, are we ready yet?" the Yellow Ranger groaned into the radio. "I've been sitting up here all day! My legs are starting to fall asleep!"


Reina and Cyrus roared up the concrete ramps, bringing their cycles to a halt at the very top of the parking structure. They moved with practiced precision. As Reina took up a defensive position, her eyes scanning the skyline, Cyrus knelt and placed a small, metallic orb on the ground. With a soft hum, the device unfolded, projecting a flickering array of holographic displays and data streams into the night air. 

​"Kiba, stay focused. We literally just started," Reina said into her comms, her tone dry as she ignored the Yellow Ranger's chatter.

​Cyrus didn't look up from the glowing interface, his fingers blurring through the holographic windows. "Sora, Ayumi—status check. Are you in position and ready?"

​"We're set. Let's do this," Ayumi replied, her voice crackling over the channel. She glanced back at the legendary figures gathered behind them. "All Might, everyone... are you ready on your end?"


Meanwhile, in a building overlooking the HPSC headquarters, the air was thick with tension. All Might stood among his half of the Pro Heroes and a legion of police officers, all waiting for the signal.

​"WE ARE READY AND WAITING!" All Might bellowed.

​The sheer volume of his voice echoed in the cramped room, causing the police to wince and the Rangers to clutch their helmets in pain.

​"All Might..." the Rangers groaned in unison, their voices filtered and weary on the comms.

​All Might's heroic posture deflated instantly. He rubbed the back of his neck, offering a sheepish grin. "Oops... my bad."

​​"Alright, everyone knows the play," Katrina said, leaning over the console. "Sora, Serena, Ayumi—you're our bait. You'll be disguising yourselves as President Sayaka and her advisors, since the police have already cleared the building. Serena, you'll need to be even more stubborn than usual to sell the act."

​"Understood," Serena replied, her focus already shifting.


​In the Command Chamber, Katrina and Alpha didn't look up as their fingers blurred across the keys. "I'll maintain your holographic shrouds until the moment is right to drop the charade. Kiba, Reina, and Cyrus—you're on intercept duty. "If the Arasakas and the Imperial Army have truly joined forces, expect some Batzlers to swarm the perimeter. As for the rest of you, stand by to—"

​"Deal with the Paladin Ranger personally in the event of an emergency," Endeavor interrupted, his voice booming over the channel.

​Katrina, Serena, the Rangers, and even All Might let out a collective, weary sigh that echoed through the comms.

Ayumi produced three sleek holographic emitters, tossing two to the Ukashis. They caught them mid-air and snapped the devices onto their necks.

​"You go first, Sora," Ayumi prompted.

​Sora tapped the activation switch. A shimmering lattice of light washed over him, rewriting his silhouette. When the glow faded, he was no longer a Ranger—he was a dead ringer for Yokumiru Mera.

​"Aw, what!? I'm this guy?" Sora complained. His eyes widened as his own voice came out in Mera's weary, gravelly monotone. ​Ayumi stifled a chuckle, but Serena just offered a sympathetic if slightly amused look.

​"Actually, it's a perfect fit, hon," Serena noted. "From what I've heard, Mera suffers from chronic sleep deprivation due to extreme overwork. He's famous for that blasé, unenthusiastic attitude. Considering how much you've been yawning lately, you won't even have to act."

​"Wow. Thanks, Mom," Sora replied, his tone as dry as a desert.

​Serena snapped her fingers, pointing at him with a smug, knowing grin. "See? Just like that." Her expression quickly shifted, the humor replaced by sharp focus. "Wait, if half the police force is stationed with All Might and the others, then the other half is with us, right?"

​"Direct hit, Serena," Katrina's voice crackled over the comms. "The moment Doctor Ryuma and the Paladin Ranger make contact with you, I'll give the signal to move in."

"Got it, let's get it on."


The lobby of the HPSC Headquarters was a cavernous space of sterile glass and cold marble. Sora, Ayumi, and Serena moved through the entrance, their strides confident but measured. High above, perched in a concealed vantage point, Kaina, donning her classic Hero costume and gear, adjusted her scouter. The lens whirred, zooming in on the trio with surgical precision.​

"Status report," the real Sayaka Grant commanded over the comms. ​Kaina didn't answer immediately. Her focus narrowed on the Pink Ranger. There was something about her that tugged at the back of Kaina's mind.

 ​"Lady Nagant," Sayaka's voice sharpened. "What is the status of the Rangers and their allies?"

 ​Kaina exhaled a long, steadying breath before tapping her headset. "It looks like two of the Rangers and some officer are making their move. They're heading in now, posing as you, Mera, and some other official."

​"I see. Then keep an eye on them, but if the Paladin Ranger makes his move, then you can engage." the Madam President's voice crackled through the comms.​

Kaina's eyes narrowed. 

"Remember our deal, Kaina," the President added.​

"Yeah..." Kaina exhaled, the word tasting like lead. "I know."


Inside the HPSC headquarters, two figures moved through the hall, their forms shimmering under the glow of the overhead lights. Posing as security guards, they walked past a gallery of stern portraits; presidents of the Commission's past.​

One figure paused before a particular frame. The air rippled like water as Doctor Ryuma Arasaka deactivated his camouflage, his high-end suit bleeding into view over the security uniform.​

"The future victors have entered the chat," Ryuma remarked, adjusting his cuffs. He turned to gloat, only to find the hallway empty. "Wait. Scrozzle? Where are you?"

 ​"Right here," a voice hissed from the shadows.​

Ryuma spun around, squinting at a portrait of a former president. Suddenly, the "wall" next to the frame shifted. The robotic scientist, Scrozzle, flicked off his own cloaking device, his mechanical features gleaming in the dim light.​

"Try to keep up, Doctor," Scrozzle said dryly, already stepping toward their objective.​

Ryuma shot him an annoyed look, hurrying to catch up. "You're worse than Ryutei was when he was a child," the Doctor grumbled, his footsteps echoing after his partner.


Meanwhile, in the Command Chamber...

 ​Katrina drifted through the air, her form weightless as she scanned the shifting holographic displays. Live tactical feeds flickered across her face, casting a blue glow over her focused expression. Below her, Alpha's metallic hands blurred across the primary console until a sudden, sharp ping echoed through the chamber.​

"Aye-yi-yi-yi-yi! Katrina, I found something! You need to see this!"

 ​"Hm?" Katrina's attention shifted. She descended gracefully, her boots hovering just inches above the floor as she approached the console. "What is it, Alpha?"​

"Look right here," Alpha replied, magnifying a grainy thermal signature on the main screen. "Isn't that... who I think it is?"​

Katrina leaned in, the light of the console reflecting in her eyes. A slow, knowing smile touched her lips. "Hello there... I knew our scanners were picking up an anomaly."

Katrina opened a wide-band broadcast. "All hands, eyes up. The Doctor is in the building, but the Paladin Ranger is still MIA. No detection, no signal. Stay alert—this doesn't feel right."


"What!?" Reina questioned. 

"Then what do we do?" Kiba chimed in. The holographic maps flickered as a warning icon flashed red. Cyrus leaned in, his heart sinking.

​"Guys, there's something heading right for—"

​The building shook as a shockwave tore through the roof. The Rangers were tossed like ragdolls, plummeting several stories before hitting the pavement with a series of heavy thuds.

​As the dust settled, the Paladin Ranger emerged from the smoke. "Seriously, you're like cockroaches, each and every one of you fakers." he spat, his voice dripping with disdain. He gestured casually, and a horde of Batzlers materialized from the alleyways, boxing the trio in. "I think it's time for some pest control. Deal with the fakers, while I handle saving my old man and your boss."

​"FINE, ASSHOLE! YOU WANNA GET NUTS!?" Reina screamed, her voice echoing off the surrounding Batzlers. She slammed her fists to her chest before snapping her palms together. She settled into a low, predatory stance. "Let's get nuts."

​Behind her, the air felt electric. Kiba leaned in toward Cyrus, his voice a tense whisper as they surveyed the encroaching horde. "So... are we doing this HF style, or Legendary?"

​Cyrus didn't hesitate, his eyes locked on the target. "Legendary."

With that, the three Rangers stood back to back in preparation.

"IT'S MORPHIN TIME!" They shouted before they spun the dial on their Morphers, right before different gumball-sized holograms logos floated on the dials' faces: The Zeo logo for Reina, The Space logo for Kiba, and the Time Force logo for Cyrus.

"Legendary Ranger Mode, Zeo/In Space/Time Force!" They called out respectively before they slammed their dials down. Soon, a key appeared in each of their hands as it was revealed to be the Ranger Keys.

The team then held up their Ranger Keys before flicking them open. 

"Zeo Ranger IV - Green!" 

"Let's Rocket!"

"Time for Time Force!"

They soon inserted the keys into their Morphers' slots and turned the keys, becoming engulfed in bursts of light.


(Morph sequence - Zeo, In Space, Time Force)

Reina then lowered her arms, and was then covered in her Green Ranger suit with white gloves, boots and shoulder covering, with golden gears between that and the green, and around the neck, and a green skirt.

Finally, she donned a green helmet with a rectangle shaped visor.

Finally, she donned a green helmet with a rectangle shaped visor


"3,3,5!"

The numbers lit up in front of Kiba before he was then digitalized into a Yellow Ranger suit with white gloves and boots, as well as a white line along his shoulders and chest, which had five different colored squares on - left to right, one black, one yellow, one red, one pink, one blue. He also had two white lines along his helmet, one below and one above his visor, which had four sharp corners on - the upper two being slightly longer than the bottom two. He also had a white belt on, with a buckle that looked like an M shape, a yellow neck shape, a silver mouthpiece without a lip piece that had pointed ends on either side, like a triangle, and he had a black circle on top, which had a camera symbol on it, and a blaster in a holster on his belt.

His Digital Stats were: AT 280, DF 300, SP 350. He then spun around as the words 'Morphing Complete' came up, and then his helmet symbol glowed.

 He then spun around as the words 'Morphing Complete' came up, and then his helmet symbol glowed


Cyrus spread his arms out as an endless tunnel of blue numbers surrounded him. A DNA strand went over him, before blue lightning shattered it, then he morphed into a Blue Ranger suit. His suit had silver wrist guards - his morpher being on the left - sliver pads above his boots, and he had a black belt with a triangle on. His torso chest part was mostly white, with a long blue rectangle with a point at the bottom, connected to a line which went to his neck, going around it, while his helmet had a matching visor against a bunch of black, and he had a silver mouthpiece with lips on it.

He then held his left hand up with his index and middle fingers up, while putting his right hand behind him.

~Morphing Sequnce End~


All three Rangers now stood together, morphed and ready to brawl. 

"Let's get 'em!" Reina shouted, throwing out a fist.

"Right!" Kiba and Cyrus nodded in agreement before the trio charged into battle.


​"Idiot! Absolute idiot!" Ryutei's mind screamed in a frantic loop. "Why did I let Dad go there alone? Especially with that... that robot!" He pushed his body to the limit, the world blurring around him. "Maybe I still have time. Maybe I can—"​

Before he can finish his thought, a sudden, violent gust of wind slammed into him like a physical wall. The force took him by surprise, sending him tumbling backward through the air. Ryutei grunted, his HUD flashing warnings as he fought for control, before finally catching himself and hovering in a defensive crouch.​

"Who the hell—!?"​

He squinted through the sudden fog, his sensors struggling to lock on. A tall silhouette began to materialize within the mist, approaching with a slow, deliberate stride.​

Ryutei's eyes widened behind his visor as the figure became clear. A bitter, cold laugh escaped him. "You've got to be kidding me. Of all people... the fakers actually asked you for help?"

​"This stops right now, young man," All Might said. His voice carried a heavy weight, not of anger, but of a deep, aching disappointment. "Revenge will not bring your mother back."​

The Paladin Ranger's fist tightened, his gauntlet trembling with suppressed Grid Energy under the strain as he forced himself to take a jagged breath. "So... they told you."​

"They did," All Might replied, his eyes flickering toward the SWAT teams closing in on the perimeter. "Please... don't do this. Don't throw your life away."​

Ryutei stepped forward, his boots heavy against the pavement until he stood directly in the shadow of the Number One Hero.​

"You know... there was a time when I wanted to meet you more than anything," he said, his voice dropping to a cold, hollow whisper. "I wanted to ask you how to be a hero. But after losing her? I realized just how much crap comes out of your mouth."

​"I lost my mother too," All Might said, his voice dropping to a somber rumble. He placed a heavy, steadying hand on the Paladin Ranger's shoulder. "I was consumed by rage. I wanted everyone responsible to pay... until I realized that wasn't the life she wanted for me."

​"Did you see it?" the Paladin Ranger snapped, his voice sharp with a jagged edge. "Did you actually see her die?"

​All Might hesitated, the shadow of his own past flickering in his eyes. "I... no." ​The rogue Ranger shrugged the hero's hand off with a cold, dismissive motion and leaped backward, putting distance between them.

​"Then that's the difference between us," Ryutei snarled, the Grid Energy beginning to hum around him. "You never found your mother's killers. But I found mine. And I'm going to watch them burn."

​All Might's expression shifted from empathy to a profound, hollow sadness. He looked down, his shoulders slumping as he accepted the inevitable.

​"Then you leave us with no choice," the Symbol of Peace whispered.

Ryutei froze, the air suddenly feeling colder. "...Us?"

At that moment, he saw a group of pro heroes and police officers turning around the corner and walking straight towards him with a stride in their step. The police were dressed in riot gear, helmets over their heads, armor covering their chests and machine guns in their hands. The only one without a helmet was Tsukauchi, wearing a vest but no helmet as he touched a walkie-talkie attached to speak into it.

Mirko grinned broadly as she eyed the Ranger before them. Hawks looked focused as though he was expecting him to attack. Best Jeanist walked fimly while staring straight at him, while Endeavor's flame beard flared up, his face set in an ugly grimace. Behind them, was Bakugo, Shoto and Tokoyami.

"He bears little resemblance to Ukashi and the others," Tokoyami remarked, his arms crossed as he observed the Paladin Ranger with a critical eye. Shoto nodded in silent agreement.

​"Tch. He doesn't look like much to me," Bakugo cut in, a sharp, arrogant smirk pulling at his lips. "I don't see what the big deal is."

"You just have to come with us, Mr. Arasaka." Tsukauchi kept his tone polite, although his body language was tense, "as we have a few questions for you. Come quietly."

Surrounded on all sides, the Paladin Ranger didn't reach for his weapon. Instead, he began to laugh; A low, dry chuckle vibrated from his chest, growing into a sharp laugh as he pointed a gloved finger at the crowd.

​"Something funny?" Hawks asked, his wings flared and ready for a pursuit.

​The rogue Ranger looked up, his laughter cutting off into a chilling silence. "Funny? No. It's just pathetic. You really think numbers can bridge the gap between us? All of you have to be that desperate."

"What was that...?" Endeavor snarled as his flame beard flared up, while All Might tensed. Best Jeanist threw his hands up with some wires as a warning, Mirko grinned and prepared to pounce, as Bakugo, Todoroki, and Tokoyami prepared to attack, while the other police officers quickly brought their guns up to aim at the Paladin Ranger.

"... but what the hell," Ryutei remarked viciously. "I don't know what you plan to do, but I do know that I've been looking for an excuse to hit something. So let's see what you've got, oh mighty Symbol of Peace."

And with that, he suddenly had his hand raised palm up to show the cyan light that was beginning to shine. Before any of the heroes could react, his entire arm bulged as he activated the Grid Energy, and aimed at the few interns that were still standing between him and the heroes.

And outside the HQ, a large burst of cyan light shot out of the top floor in a magnificent explosion.

BOOM!


Sora, Ayumi, and Serena all rushed to the window, their eyes scanning the skyline as a plume of smoke billowed into the air.​

"What was that?" Serena whispered, as she watched the chaos unfold in the distance. ​

Ayumi turned to Sora, her face pale."Sora, you don't think that's..."

 ​"Yeah," Sora interrupted, his jaw tight as he stared at the rising flames. "...Paladin."


Upon seeing the Paladin Ranger about to attack, the heroes acted.

At once, Best Jeanist threw his arms out with a grunt, threads flying through the air to attach to the interns. Throwing them to the right, as All Might and Endeavor raced forward, throwing their fists back –

– but they were a split second too slow.

BOOM!

Both men grunted as they were launched back by the blast of cyan light, and the other Pros winced as the force of the wind that suddenly hit them launched them off their feet. Tsukauchi was quick to take cover while the other police officers dived to the floor as the costumed heroes were blasted backwards and towards the windows of the building, smashing out at once – and just like that, they all hit the ground with a roll.

"Man! Has old age finally got to you!? I mean, I expect this from Endeavor but not from you, All Might." 

The group of pro heroes jerked their attention back up to the hole they'd just been blasted out of, to see the Paladin Ranger emerging out of the dust cloud. "But how would I expect from the man who thinks he's made an age of peace."

Before any of the pro heroes could react, Endeavor shot forward.

"Endeavor!" All Might barked.

The Flame Hero then flung his hands back, his fingers trailing several thin strands of fire.

"Flashfire Fist – Hell Spider!"

Quickly throwing his hands forward, the lines of fire expanded even more, slicing neatly into the Paladin Ranger's location. It didn't take long for the entire spot to suddenly explode in a shower of stone.

"What... should I say ow?"

Just as he spoke....a white light shined outward from Ryutei's current spot, slowing time down around the group, as the heroes all seemed to move in a snail's pace.

The boy, however, appeared just fine as he quickly moved beside the Pro, leaving afterimages of himself behind. Suddenly, the cyberware markings on his hands and arms began to glow a bright cyan, clicking open to reveal cybernatic parts inside. His spine also appeared to glow the same color, spreading throughout his body.

With a look of disgust, the boy drew his right fist back before...

*BAM*

Time went back to normal as the unknown teen's fist crashed into Endeavors's face with all the gentleness of a stampeding bull elephant. The man went flying away, corkscrewing in the air before slamming directly into a wall with explosive force equal to an actual bomb.

"Endeavor!" Everyone exclaimed in shock.

Shoto stood frozen, his eyes wide with a rare, flickering disbelief. He had spent his entire life measuring the mountain that was his father's power, only to watch this rogue Ranger dismantle it with terrifying ease.

​"Such speed... such absolute force," Tokoyami muttered, his shadow flickering restlessly in response to the pressure in the air. "Is this the true threshold of a Ranger?"

Hawks lunged, diving through the air to strike the Paladin from his blind spot. But in a blur of displacement, Ryutei vanished. Before Hawks could even register the movement, the Ranger reappeared behind him, his hand clamped firmly onto the hero's skull. 'So fast!' He thought.

​"Hawks!" Tokoyami screamed, his heart sinking.

​Hawks looked down in a panic, but it was too late. A flash of sub-zero energy erupted from the Paladin's grip, encasing the Winged Hero in a jagged block of ice. With cold indifference, Ryutei let go, allowing the frozen hero to plummet toward the jagged rocks below. 

​Mirko blurred into motion, a white streak of speed that intercepted Hawks just before the impact. They skidded across the dirt in a cloud of dust. Gasping for breath, Mirko looked down at the ice-bound hero; Hawks was paralyzed, but his eyes darted frantically behind the frost; he was still alive, but shocked.

Ryutei didn't stop to admire the work as he turned his attention on his other opponents.

"Careful," Best Jeanist narrowed his eyes. "No doubt that he plans to –"

Ryutei took a step forward before any of them could blink, feeling a small wave of air hit them in the face. The heroes tensed up, wondering what it was the rogue Ranger had just done –

– and then, Best Jeanist let out a small gasp, as though the air had been driven from his lungs; Courtesy of Ryutei's foot slamming right into his chest.

Everyone flinched back and looked around in shock as the hero was thrown back from the force of the blow, slamming into a police van.

"Denim Face!" Bakugo yelled out with wide eyes before launching himself forward, a roar of explosions propelling him towards Ryutei. "DIE!"

"Bakugo!" Todoroki shouted, to no avail. 

But in the blink of an eye, the air shifted.​ 

Bakugo found himself forced to his knees, his momentum dead. Gasping, he looked over his shoulder to find the Paladin Ranger standing behind him, calmly pinning his right arm behind his back.

 ​"Idiot..." the rogue Ranger muttered, his voice echoing coldly from behind his visor. "Anyone ever tell to look before you leap?"

"Dark Shadow!" Tokoyami called, summoning his dark entity to from within, then the Paladin Ranger jumps out of the way, as the dark entity only held Bakugo. 

 "NOT ME YOU DUMBASS!"

Utilizing a short-range teleport, Ryutei bypassed Dark Shadow and pinned Tokoyami to the street. He was immediately countered by a massive fire burst from Shoto, which propelled the Paladin Ranger across the intersection.​

Pushing himself up from the rubble, Ryutei winced, as his HUD flickered as he regained his footing. "Note to self... the half-and-half kid has a temper. That actually hurt."

"Then maybe you should cool down." Shoto retorted, slamming his right palm on the ground and sending a wave of ice towards his opponent. But the Paladin Ranger raised his hand and stopped the wave. 

 "What!?" Shoto yelled in shock, as the Paladin Ranger couldn't help but be smug. 

 "You think you're the only one who can use ice?"

Ryutei hauled himself to his feet, his breath hitching as he channeled his energy. Frost began to bloom across his forearms, layering rapidly until his hands were encased in massive, jagged gloves of solid ice.

​"This is what I can do," the Paladin Ranger declared.

​He lunged into the air, the weight of the ice adding a terrifying momentum to his descent. He drove a fist straight at Shoto; the Half-Cold Half-Hot hero stumbled, caught off guard by the sheer force as he scrambled backward. Ryutei didn't give him a second to breathe. He pressed forward, a relentless blur of motion, and caught Shoto across the jaw with a heavy, frozen strike.

​Shoto raised an arm to shield himself, but the impact was bone-jarring. Ryutei punched again, the strength behind the blow powerful enough to spin Shoto around. They were nearing a massive metal beam, the space for a tactical retreat rapidly vanishing for the young hero.

"That's quite enough, young man."

All Might, standing tall in his strong form as his shadow stretched toward the pair of young heroes. His hands were on his hips, keeping the smile on his face he was so famous for. The only difference is that for once he wasn't smiling to comfort others, rather to comfort himself for what he was about to do.

The Paladin Ranger glanced over his shoulder, his visor reflecting All Might's towering silhouette. With a dismissive shrug, he released his grip, letting Shoto slump to the ground.

​"Fine," Ryutei muttered, "I was done with him anyway."

​Before All Might could even draw breath to speak, Ryutei's fist connected with his jaw in a blur of motion. The force of the blow sent the Symbol of Peace hurtling backward, his boots carving deep furrows into the pavement before he slammed into a brick facade, bracing himself just in time to keep the building from collapsing.​Ryutei didn't even wait for him to recover.

"I gotta tell ya, old man," he called out, his voice cold and steady. "I was hoping for a one on one with you, before these idiots got between us."

Chapter Text

(Hero Force Opening)


"Hiyah!"

Reina did a sideways handspring, and then two backwards handsprings, and then kicked a Batzler in the chest, and then blocked another's punch by grabbing its arm, and then thre it into a staircase, causing it to sparkle. She then ducked as a third tried to punch her, but then she tackled it, and then sent a kick at a fourth as it came at her, but missed as it ducked, but then she got behind it and kicked it in the back.

Kiba whacked another's arm away with his forearm, then punched a third's chest, then blocked a fourth's punch with his right elbow, before punching its chest. A fifth then grabbed his shoulder, but he grabbed his hand with his left, putting his right on its inner elbow, then he kicked its leg and knocked it to its knees. A sixth tried to punch him, but he grabbed its forearm and bent it, making the Batzler turn around as he twisted its arm, putting it behind him.

He punched ones face behind him, then blocked a kick from another with his left forearm, while stilling holding the one he had, before punching it three times in the chest. 

Cyrus knocked a Batzler's arm down as it tried to stab him, before he turned and kicked another in the chest, while grabbing a third's arm. He raised the arm up, then ducked and elbowed a fourth in the chest, before he spun around and kicked a fifth, knocking it away.

He then spun around and kicked one in the arm, knocking it back, before he spun around again and tackled another. He then kicked a third in the chest, and then spun around and tackled a fourth.

"Let's finish this!" Reina declared, placing her hands in front of her visor. "Zeo IV Power Tonfas!"

A pair of Axes materialized within her hands as she blocked a Batzler's arm with her weapons, then hit its chest with her right one, then she waved her arms around to dodge another's arm. It then ducked as she tried to slash it, then it blocked her left grip with its arm, before she hit its hip with her right one, then its chest with her left. She turned and moved away as a third came at her, ducking as it tried to whack her, then she waved her arms around and hit a fourth's arm with her right one.

"Hyah!" she yelled, ducking, slashing one with her right grip as it dived past her.

Kiba held onto two grunts's arms, but then kicked them upwards.

"I gotta try that." he said and put his hands to his chest, making a camera shape, then spun around and brought out a slingshot like weapon. "Star Slinger!"

He then jumped back before firing yellow blasts at a bunch of Batzlers, hitting them all in the chest.

"My turn!" Cyrus brought out the same weapon, but kept his together in double-bladed mode. "Chrono Saber Blue!" he shouted, twirling it around, before holding it up.

He slashed past a Batzler, then slashed another, then spun around and kicked a third, knocking it down, before slashing a fourth. He then jumped off and twirled around, before landed between several more, and then he spun around and slashed them all.

Within moments, all of the grunts were destroyed as they exploded into vapor around the trio

"Seriously, Alsatia has got to have better Batzlers! Because these guys suck at their job." Kiba joked, as Cyrus chuckled at him.

​"What? No, I was joking! Ha!" Kiba laughed, but the sound died in his throat as reality set in. His face fell. "Aw, crap... I jinxed us, didn't I?"

​BOOM!

​A massive explosion rocked the city, the shockwave rolling in from the direction of the HPSC headquarters—exactly where the Paladin Ranger had headed.

​Reina didn't even turn her head. She just leveled a flat, unimpressed stare at Kiba. "I'll say it again, like back in the base: you just had to open your big mouth."

"...I'm sorry." Kiba bowed his head, dejectedly.

​"Wait—that's where Paladin went," Cyrus said. He spun toward his friends, the color draining from his face as realization struck.

​"Oh no..." the three Rangers whispered in unison. They bolted toward the rising plume of the explosion, Reina already tapping her comms.

​"Kat! What's the situation?" the Green Ranger shouted over the wind.

​"Rangers, hurry!" Kat's voice crackled through the feedback. "All Might is engaging Ryutei, and it's not looking good—for either of them!"

​"Damn the big guy and his big heart!" Kiba growled, pushing his pace to the limit.


Ryuma and Scrozzle strode into the main offices, finding the "President" and her advisors surprisingly unguarded.

​"Hello, Ryuma," Serena—disguised as Sayaka—said calmly.

​Ryuma offered a bitter, jagged smile. "Hello, Miss Grant. Did you miss me?" Beside him, Scrozzle's head twitched as he scanned the room, searching for any sign of the Rangers.

​"I don't know how you returned," Serena continued, her voice steady, "but you made a grave mistake coming here."

​"Au contraire, mon frère!" Ryuma chirped, his tone dripping with mock delight. "The mistake was thinking you had won. But that? That was just a prelude, an hors d'oeuvre, an aperitif, an amuse-bouche—"

​"We get it, Doctor," Sora—disguised as Mera—interrupted, his hand surreptitiously pressing a silent alarm on his morpher.

​Ryuma chuckled, stepping forward and wagging a finger as if lecturing a child. "I don't think you do. But you're about to. And so will every single miserable soul on this planet."

"Nope." Said the disguised mother and son.

Ryuma dropped his pose, his face twisting in genuine confusion. "Nope? What do you mea—"

​Above them, Ayumi didn't wait. She leaped, tackling the Doctor and slingshotting him straight into Scrozzle. They hit the "kill zone" of the floor, which instantly glowed crimson. 

THOOM

The magnetic pull snapped them down, leaving them limb-locked against the metal.

​Sora deactivated his Mera disguise. "Too slow, smart guys."

​"Red Ranger..." Ryuma and Scrozzle hissed, struggling against the magnetism.


Ryutei's HUD flickered a violent, strobing red as All Might's blows landed like falling meteors, rattling the Paladin armor to its core.

​Gritting his teeth, the Paladin Ranger found a window. He unleashed a high-voltage surge of Grid Energy, zapping the Number One Hero backward. All Might went head over heels, crashing into the debris.

​But the Symbol of Peace didn't stay down. He rose, a mountain of bruised muscle, and lunged again. Ryutei caught the incoming punches, the metal of his gauntlets screaming under the pressure, before he countered with a point-blank burst of electricity that forced All Might to his knees. Following through, Ryutei buried a fist into All Might's gut and hurled him back into the dirt.

​"Stay down, old man." the Paladin Ranger commanded, his voice modulated and cold as he raised his blaster, the barrel humming with lethal intent. "Final warning."

​All Might struggled to his feet, his breath coming in ragged, bloody hitches. His gait was weary, his body trembling, yet his eyes remained fixed on the Ranger with a fire that wouldn't go out. He raised his bloodied fists one more time.

​"I can do this... all day," All Might rasped, breathless but unbroken.

The gunshot rang out like a lightning strike. Ryutei didn't see it—he only felt the horrific impact as his leg gave way. He hit the ground hard, his armor scraping against the asphalt.

​"Son of a—!" He groaned, clutching his thigh. The heat was white-hot, radiating through his suit. Despite the agony, he dug his fingers into the ground and pushed back up. He wouldn't stay down. Not here. Not now.

"Consider that a warning shot. If you can heal, stay down—it'll save me the ammo I'd need to take the other leg. If you can't... then I suggest you get used to the floor."

"I know that voice..." the Paladin Ranger hissed.

All Might turned his head to the voice, gaining a look of shock and disbelief on his face. "You're...!?"

​"I'm Kaina Tsutsumi. Nice to finally meet my counterpart," Kaina said, her voice carrying a weight that matched the tired smile on her face. She stepped past All Might, her eyes fixed on the injured Paladin Ranger.

​Ryutei looked up at her, his breathing ragged. "You know... after you put me under, I spent every moment dreaming of this. I've rehearsed everything I ever wanted to say to you," he spat, each word laced with venom. "Every syllable, just to make you understand exactly what you stole from me. And for what? To keep playing the HPSC's lapdog!?"

Kaina stopped directly in front of the Paladin Ranger. She offered no answer to his accusations; only a look of profound, hollow sadness. Her hand moved with practiced, mechanical grace, molding a bullet from her own hair and sliding it into the rifle through the port in her palm. Nearby, All Might tensed, his muscles coiling as he prepared to intervene before she could pull the trigger.

​"I'm sorry... for taking your mother from you," Kaina whispered, her voice trembling. "I didn't understand why she did what she did. But now... I do. And I'm not going to lose her a second time."

​The Paladin Ranger didn't offer forgiveness. He didn't even flinch. Instead, he let out a low, feral snarl. ​"If you're a parent now, then I hope to God you never see your kid again."

​Before the words could even register, he exploded into motion. Using a burst of raw speed, he launched himself off the ground and drove a reinforced fist into Kaina's midsection.

Nagant coughed out from the blow as she was sent backward before flipping into the air and skidding across the ground on her feet. "Dick move, kid."

Nagant fired relentlessly, her bullets whistling past the Paladin Ranger's head. Ryutei moved with blurred precision, vaulting from the street to the side of a brick building, then leaping again to a fire escape to put distance between them.

​Just as she reached to chamber another rounds, the air pressure suddenly shifted.

​"THAT'S ENOUGH!"

All Might's voice boomed. Before she could react, he seized her by the wrist, hoisting her off the ground with effortless strength. "That boy is suffering from a wound that may never heal." All Might declared, his gaze stern. "Now tell me, Nagant, how did you escape Tartarus?"

​"Stay out of this, Boy Scout!" Nagant hissed.

​Moving with the speed, she snatched a canister from her pocket. She held her breath and yanked the pin with her teeth, releasing a thick, obscuring cloud of gas that swallowed them both in an instant.

All Might finally released his grip on Nagant. The Symbol of Peace collapsed to his knees, his frame shuddering as he succumbed to a fit of violent, hacking coughs. Seizing the opening, Nagant didn't hesitate; she slammed both fists into the back of his neck, knocking the weakened hero into unconsciousness.

​She stumbled out of the dust cloud, gasping for air as she finally allowed her lungs to expand.

​"Now, where wer—" Nagant's voice died in her throat. She spun around, her eyes darting across the empty street. The Paladin Ranger was gone. Not a trace of his Grid Energy remained.

​"DAMN IT!" she roared, her voice echoing off the silent buildings.

Irritated, she made her way upstairs and inside the building, she sees countless of unconscious bodies on the floor.

"Just follow the path of total destruction."


"I don't believe this..." Ryuma grunted as he tried to get up from the ground. "How did you..."

"We had a little help in that department." Sora replied, rubbing his nose. "After that, we teamed up with several Pros to warn everyone here about your plan to attack the HPSC."

"Which led you into taking the bait and falling right into our trap." Ayumi added in.

​"But now, it's over." Serena declared, her voice firm. "Doctor Ryuma Arasaka and Scrozzle, you two are under arrest. There's no other way out."

​Scrozzle didn't flinch. Instead, a low, mechanical chuckle vibrated in his chest. "Oh, really?"

​In an instant, twelve portals tore into existence around them. The air hummed with distorted energy as a horde of Batzlers surged through the rifts, their screeching filling the room as they surrounded the Rangers.

"Batzlers!" Ayumi yelped in surprise, looking around.

​"You two take the ones on the left, the right side is mine," Serena commanded, her eyes locked on the approaching targets. 

Without a word, Sora pulled out a spare blaster from his belt and placed it into his mother's hand. She took it with a practiced grip, her finger already finding the trigger.

"Quick warning, that has some power behind it." He warned her.

"Wait, what do you mea—"

​Serena's sentence was cut short by a sudden but violent blast, as her finger had brushed the trigger, and before she could even blink, the blast tore through the ranks of the Batzlers, leaving five of them as nothing more than smoldering corpses

​Stunned, Serena stared at the smoking muzzle of the blaster, then back at the mess she had just made. A slow, dangerous grin spread across her face.

​"Oh... I'm keeping this baby, kiddo."

A sweatdrop formed on the back of Sora's head. "I might've created a monster."

"Sora, let's go!" Ayumi called out.

"Right!"

With that, the duo stood side by side against the grunts.

"IT'S MORPHIN TIME!" They shouted before they spun the dial on their Morphers, right before different gumball-sized holograms logos floated on the dials' faces: the Overdrive logo for Sora and the Turbo logo for Ayumi.

"Legendary Ranger Mode, Operation Overdrive/Turbo!" They called out respectively before they slammed their dials down. Soon, a key appeared in each of their hands as it was revealed to be the Ranger Keys.

The pair then held up their Ranger Keys before flicking them open. 

"Overdrive Accelerate!"

"Shift into Turbo!"

They soon inserted the keys into their Morphers' slots and turned the keys, becoming engulfed in bursts of light.


(Morph sequence - Operation Overdrive and Turbo)

Sora was inside of a small metal room, He spun his Morpher, igniting the tracker. He quickly brought his right arm to the left side before stretching both arms out wide. The Morpher still spinning, as the top put of the Morpher flipped to the side then Sora moved the Morpher forward and passed a button on the side of the Morpher. Then a hologram was displayed from the Morpher, showing a Red Ranger outfit with a few weapons. The hologram started to glow as the Ranger suit suddenly formed around Sora's body, and then a symbol on his chest appeared. Suddenly, a helmet and shoulder pads appeared on Sora before he raised his head and started to pose.


"Wind Chaser Turbo Power!" Ayumi shouted, lowering her arms down as they glowed - making her belt appear on her.

Her Ranger suit then appeared on her, then her helmet came on around her, and then her visor shut down. 

~Morphing Sequnce End~


They then lowered their arms, now morphed.

"Red Overdrive Ranger!" Sora was now wearing a Ranger suit, which had white running down his chests, half his legs and arms, with the compress symbol on his chest, silver pads on the shoulders, as well as around the ends of the gloves and boots. He also a belt which had red and white blaster on called a Drive Defender on his right hip, while his helmets had a black line running along the back, a silver mouthpiece with lines on, and a headlight on top of the visor.

His visor was like a curved oval and his headlights had five markings on, two square, three circle, while the patten on top.

"Pink Turbo Ranger!" Ayumi donned a Pink Ranger suit - which had white gloves and boots, (with a skirt) a chest symbol which looked like a car hood, an irregular hexagon shape on top of her helmet, a circle on top of the helmet and a oval like hea...

"Pink Turbo Ranger!" Ayumi donned a Pink Ranger suit - which had white gloves and boots, (with a skirt) a chest symbol which looked like a car hood, an irregular hexagon shape on top of her helmet, a circle on top of the helmet and a oval like heart shape for a visor. The number '5' on her sleeve, a circle.

"Drive Lance!" Sora shouted, as his headlights lit up

"Drive Lance!" Sora shouted, as his headlights lit up.

His weapon came out in front of him, which resembled a staff, with the end being shaped like a trident, as it had a long blade at the end, and two claspers on either side. He grabbed it and swung it around, before held it out behind him, holding his left hand like a fist.

Two Batzlers shot blasts from their weapons at Sora, who jumped up as they hit the ground, creating an explosion behind him.

"HA!" he yelled.

He dived down and slashed two Batzlers with the end of his lance, before he jumped and spun around, diving past another, before he landed and slashed three more grunts down. A fourth dived towards him and fired a blast from its mouth, but he put the pole end of his staff against the ground, then jumped up and kicked the Batzler's chest, as an explosion went off nearby.

"Yah!" he yelled.

The Batzler went flying away and hit a wall, before it shattered to vapor.

Ayumi somersaulted forward near some Batzlers, then landed between them all, then she did a sideways handspring past them, then two backwards ones.

She dodged as one tried to tackle her, then ducked and spun around as another ran past and tried to punch her, then she blocked a third's punch with her left hand, before whacking its face with her right forearm.

She then hit a third's arm with her hands, then spun around and blocking a fourth's punch with her hands. Next, she elbowed them both in the face, then dodged and grabbed a third's arm as it came at her, making it bend down. She then kicked a fourth's chest as it came at her, then moved her leg to kick a fifth's leg, then pulled it back to kick the fourth, then moved it to kick the side of the fifth's head.

Serena brought up Sora's Blaster sidearm, then blocked two's blades with it as they tried to hit her. She then raised the blaster up, knocking their blades back, then she grabbed one's arm, while spinning around to hit the other, but missed as it ducked. She let go of the first, then aimed and fired the blaster, hitting the other in the chest, knocking it onto the ground. She then ducked and spun around as the first tried to slash her with its blade, then she grabbed its arm as it tried again, and then she ducked down and fired the blaster, hitting a third in the chest. She then let go of the first, then spun around and whacked it in the leg with its blaster, tripping it up.

"Huh?" she gasped, looking up.

A fourth dived down towards her, but then she rolled away as it tried to slash her. She then got back up and fired again, hitting a fifth in the chest.

Seizing a moment of distraction, Scrozzle secretly overrode the magnetic pull. With the restraints disengaged, he and Ryuma slumped to the floor. The robotic scientist scrambled up, lunging to grab the officer as a human shield, but Serena was faster.

​Without even fully turning, she snapped her aim toward him. A single, precise shot tore through Scrozzle's hand before he could even touch her. The scientist collapsed, staring at his mangled limb in disbelief.

​"H-how?" Scrozzle grunted, clutching his wrist.

​"A guy tried that once," Serena said coldly, her eyes never leaving the robotic scientist. "I took his finger off with one shot. So try m—"

​The wall shattered as the Paladin Ranger burst through the office. In a blind, incandescent rage, he kicked Sora in the chest, sending him flying away.

"AH!" he yelped, crashing into some desk.

"Sora!" Ayumi screamed as she ran over to him.

"You know." The Paladin Ranger said, as he walks towards Sora menacingly. "Out of the fakers, you're probably the only one I thought that could get me."

Ayumi moved in front of Sora protectively. "Stay back!"

Sora groaned as he climbed to his feet. "It's doesn't have to end this way, Ryutei. This isn't gonna change anything."

Ryutei let out a guttural growl, his voice distorted as if his very mind were fracturing under the strain. "SHUT UP!" he screamed, the sound raw and desperate. "EVERYONE WILL PAY! STARTING WITH YOU!"

​He lunged forward, his fist wreathed in a violent, unstable aura of Grid Energy. He swung a haymaker intended to hit the two Rangers, but Serena moved faster. With a desperate shove, she threw the two out of the way, taking the full force of the blow herself. ​The impact was deafening, as Serena was launched backward, crashing through the reinforced wall and into the hallway beyond.

​As the dust cleared, he stared at the jagged hole in the wall, his hands trembling as the energy dissipated. He saw Serena lying motionless on the cold floor.

​"What..." The word barely left his throat, his rage replaced by a cold, hollow dread.

However, that was nothing compared to shock and horror a certain Red Ranger felt at that very moment.

" The word barely left his throat, his rage replaced by a cold, hollow dread

​"MOM!" Sora cried as he got up and dashed through the hole.

​Ryutei froze, the word echoing in his mind. He watched, paralyzed, as the Red Ranger sprinted toward the fallen woman.

​"Mom...?" Ryutei whispered, the word tasting like ash.

​Sora reached Serena, pulling her into his arms with frantic desperation. "Mom! Mom, talk to me! It's going to be okay, just... please, get up! Open your eyes! Come on, wake up! Wake up, wake up, wake up!"

​The sound of Sora's cracking voice acted like a key, unlocking a door in Ryutei's mind he had fought to keep barred.


Ryutei, reaching out toward a still, unreponsive Lunetta. "Mom!"


​Back in the present, Ryutei began to tremble. In the periphery of his vision, the smoke and rubble shifted, coalescing into the ghostly version of Lunetta. She stood there, bathed in a pale light, looking at him with a gaze of profound, silent heartbreak.

Sora looked horrorstruck. This rushing feeling of dread was too much. When he looked at Ryutei, his face went from horror, to absolute fury. But his eyes weren't human anymore; they burned with a terrifying, rhythmic glow.

​"What did YoU do?!" Sora roared, his voice distorted by a low, demonic resonance that shook the air.

​Ryutei looked down at his trembling hand, the hand that had struck the blow. He slowly forced it into a tight, white-knuckled fist, burying the guilt under a layer of frost.

​"I..." Ryutei's voice was hollow, devoid of its usual arrogance. "She should have stayed out of it."

​Before Sora knew it, Ryutei vanished in a flicker of light. A second later, Ayumi burst through the crumbling wall, her voice a scream of pure panic.

​"Oh, my God! Serena!" Her feet then carrying her over to the pair.

Seeing the state the woman was in, she then activated her communicator."Alpha, Kat! Serena's hurt. We're standing by for teleportation to the nearest hospital." she reported.

"What!?" Katrina replied, as Katrina looks at Alpha which he gives her a nod. "Don't worry, the teleportation is ready! Has anyone reached you?"

"No. It's just Sora and I."

"I could have sworn they were going to reach you, maybe they had trouble on the way." Katrina muttered before looking at his robotic companion. "Now, Alpha."

"Commencing teleport." Alpha said before pressing the button.

"Attention to all, if you can hear this. Prepare for a headache." Katrina announced.

With that, the duo and Serena were all teleported away in flashes of light.


Moments earlier...

"Holy crap!" Kiba blurted out at the destroyed lot, and the fallen heroes. "What happened here!?""

Cyrus then noticed the bullet holes on the wall and one of the bullets was still in one of them, he takes it out. 

​"Is this made out of... hair?" he asked, looking back at the others, as Reina takes a close look at it.

"And it's purple...must've been someone's Quirk?"

"But who has kind of quirk, the only one who has it is in--" 

"ALL MIGHT!"

Cyrus was interrupted, as he and Reina looked up to see an unconscious All Might on the ground

"No way! Even the big guy was taken out!?"

Reina didn't answer immediately. Her gaze drifted to a spent gas grenade rolling near All Might's hand. "I don't think Ryutei did this. This isn't his style."

​"Maybe Scrozzle? Or Dr. Ryuma?" Kiba suggested.

​Reina leveled a deadpan stare at him. "Can you honestly imagine Scrozzle being anything other than a coward? He wouldn't get within a mile of All Might."

​Cyrus let out a dry breath. "Yeah, you're right. But if it wasn't them... then who?"

Before anyone could reply, they heard their Morphers go off.

"Kat?" Reina said, as Katrina is heard sighing with relief.

"Rangers! Thank goodness, Serena is hurt! Alpha and I are going to teleport you to the nearest hospital, understand?"

The trio froze at the new as their eyes widened in shock. "Wait, what!?"

"There's no time to explain right now. Prepare to be teleported!"

The Rangers were then warped away, along with the Pros, their interns, and several injured officers.


Ryutei appeared in front of his father and Scrozzle. "The Pros are out of commission and the Rangers have retreated. There's no one left to stop us."

"Very good, Ryutei." Ryuma said, as he shakes the Paladin Ranger. "Now onto phase two!"

"Huh?" Scrozzle blinked at the pair. "Phase 2? What are you talking about?"

"Let's just say Planet Earth will be inhabit for long. You see, in exchange for my freedom and keeping Ryutei alive, I gave HPSC a defense system no one has ever seen. But what the fools didn't know was that it would served as part of a long term plan."

"You're about to find out now." Ryuma replied, holding up his arm that held a watch. "Commence."

He then pressed a button on it.

Suddenly, the massive structure itself began to tremble. The ground beneath their feet shook violently. Chairs swayed and tables fell over from the rumbling. Outside, the building shifted like a living organism, foundations groaning as it lurched upward.

Streets cracked and split as the tower was soon lifted out of the ground and into the air as if some powerful force had peformed the action. It was ascending higher and higher above whole buildings, leaving a large crater etched into the earth.

In the city below, panic erupted as multiple civilians looked at it in shock and horror while others ran for their lives, screaming in terror.


The shadows in the hospital corridor seemed to lengthen, swallowing the Power Rangers in darkness as they watched the building flying up from the hospital.


Inside the HPSC building, Ryuma watches the phenomenon with a dark, triumphant smirk as Ryutei watches the building rise with his arms crossed


Outside the hospital room, the Rangers gathered in the dim light of the hallway. Sora's face was pressed against the glass of Serena's window, his expression stone-cold. No response. Not even a sound. His eyes were focused directly on his mother.

Seeing his friend in despair, Kiba walked over to him. "It'll be okay, Cap." He spoke, placing a hand on Sora's shoulder. "Your mom's super tough."

"'It'll be okay'?!" ​Sora's voice cracked as he yelled, the raw anger in his eyes forcing Kiba to flinch. "My mom is fighting for her life, and you think it'll be okay?!"

The Yellow Ranger backed away, his expression twisting into one of helpless sorrow.

​"Sora, stop... Kiba was only trying to comfort you," Reina said, her voice soft and heavy with grief.

"Comfort is the last thing I need right now."

​Sora turned his back on them, his shoulders rigid and his fists clenched so tight they trembled. The warmth they usually felt from him was gone, replaced by a cold, sharp edge.

​"I don't need to feel better. I need to stop them, by any means necessary."

Everyone's eyes widened at this as realization kicked in. "Wait, are you saying...?" Cyrus began, Cyrus began, not liking what Sora was suggesting.

​"The Sixth Ranger Keys," Sora declared, his voice dropping to a dangerous low as he held out his hand, palm up. The air seemed to chill around him.

​Reina stepped forward, placing herself directly in his path. "Out of the question! Sora, I know you're angry, but Katrina was clear. We can't use our powers that way. We made a promise!"

​Sora's head snapped toward her, his eyes burning with a cold, unfamiliar light. "Don't talk to me about promises," he spat, his voice trembling with suppressed rage. "Not now."

Ayumi then stepped forward, stepping between the two before a fight could break out. "But Sora, that's not what we do. Taking revenge isn't the right choice."

"Well, now it's the only choice!!" Sora yelled, causing Ayumi to back off. "And if you guys aren't going to help me, then I'll do it alone."

"But the five of us are a team." Kiba chimed. "I thought that's what made us special from everybody else."

Sora didn't even acknowledge Kiba's voice. His entire focus was locked on Reina, his eyes cold and unfamiliar. He raised a hand, pointing a trembling but steady finger directly at her.

​"I'm not asking you twice, Rei," he said, his voice dropping to a low, dangerous whisper. "Give me the keys. All of them. Or I'll have to rip them from you."

Ayumi, Cyrus, and Kiba were all taken back by the threat. Though Reina stood her ground and glared back at the Red Ranger.

​"Sora, stop. You're not thinking clearly," Reina announced. "In this state, you're a liability. You are in no condition to make decisions right now. Let us face Ryutei."

​"Sora, please..." Ayumi's voice broke, tears finally spilling over as she reached out a hand, though she stayed back. "I know you're upset about your mom. We all are."

Sora coldy ignored the Pink Ranger's words as he gazed remained on Reina. "Last chance. Hand them over...NOW!The tone shifts in his voice just as his eyes glow an ominous red.

"Don't do this," Reina pleaded. Her hand hovered over her morpher, trembling with the weight of what she was about to do. For a long, silent moment, it looked like she might strike but then she let out a shaky breath and lowered her arm.

​"We made a promise," she said, her eyes locking onto his. "To look after each other. To trust one another to do the right thing. I'm keeping that promise... because I know you. I know Sora Ukashi. And I know that, in the end, you'll do the right thing."

With that, she held out her hands as the Sixth Rangers keys from her and the others floated in her hand, with a stunned Ayumi, Kiba, and Cyrus watching.

Sora took the items and walked away without a word. Ayumi instinctively stepped forward to follow him, but Reina's hand clamped firmly around her arm. Ayumi turned, seeing Reina slowly shake her head.

​"Yu.." Reina said, her voice a low, final whisper.

"But..."

"We gotta let him do this alone.. and right now... I can't believe i'm saying this, we're going to have a lot of bigger problems than dealing with Sora."

"Right, that flying fortress." Cyrus spoke, getting his attention to the window.

Reina's hand went to her comms as she patched through to their mentor.​ 
"Kat, so what's the sitch?" She asked, her voice tight with urgency.

There was a brief crackle of static before Katrina's voice came through, sounding like she was in the middle of a storm. "HPSC Headquarters is going for a ride."

"Yeah, we basically got a front view of it." Kiba told her.

"But that's not all." Alpha chimed in.

"What do you mean?" Cyrus asked, walking over to and looking down at the Morpher.


​"Give me a second... I need to make sure these computations are correct," Katrina muttered, her fingers flying across the console as she finalized the data streams. "According to this... in exchange for his freedom and Ryutei's safety during cryosleep, Doctor Arasaka didn't just build a security system. He mirrored the U.A. defensive grid."

​She paused, her face paling as a new schematic scrolled up. "It's equipped with high-output propulsion jets. The entire building is designed to transform into a floating fortress. If he goes through with his plan... No..."

"Aye-yi-yi-yi-yi!" Alpha exclaimed in distress, waving his arms rapidly. "This is bad! This is really bad!"


"What!? What would happen!?" Ayumi yelled, as she was beginning to panic.

As if to answer their question, A hologram screen floated in from Reina's morpher and for the Rangers to see. Upon seeing the information, the hallway went silent.

Ayumi went completely still, a hand moving to her mouth, as Kiba paled. Reina's own eyes grew wide. Cyrus sucked in a sharp breath.

And how could they not be horrified? They were standing on what was clearly about to be ground zero of a nuclear disaster the likes of which hadn't been seen in Japan in centuries.

"No way ..." Kiba sounded shaken, "... it'lll be THAT bad!?"

Reina let out a small, shaking breath. "Kat. H-how much time do we have..."

The silence radiating from their Morphers was deafening, a heavy weight that threatened to crush them all.

​"GUYS!! PLEASE!!" Ayumi screamed, her voice cracking as she practically begged for a response. She and the others needed an answer, anything but this stillness.

Finally, Alpha's voice broke throug. "F-Five... five minutes," he whispered. "We have five minutes to stop this. If we fail... everyone is gone."

Not a single noise was heard as everyone turned to stare at each other in complete and utter horror.

"I think I'm gonna throw up..." Kiba blurted out, as he leans forward on the wall.

"Wait! Where's Sora?"

The team went slient at that question as they glanced down at the floor.


Sora sprinted through the wreckage of the streets, his eyes locked on the floating fortress looming like a shadow over the skyline.

​"I'm not letting you bastards get away," Sora snarled, his breath coming in ragged bursts. "You attacked the city, hurt so many people. You put mom in the hospital. And... and.. Ryutei..."

​His voice trailed off, but the silence didn't last. Out of the dark corners of his consciousness, a distorted, monstrous rasp echoed against his skull.

​"KILL... RYuTeI..."

​Sora skidded to a halt, the soles of his boots hissing against the pavement. He spun around, his heart hammering against his ribs as he scanned the empty, smoke-filled alleys. "Who's there?!"

Silence met his shout. After a tense minute of searching, Sora let out a frustrated grunt. 

​"Focus." He told himself before raising his left wrist by his head, and his Hero Morpher began to change to glow red. 

He then pressed the red Morph button on their morpher, causing it to start glowing red. Thrusting his arm out, he shouted. "Call of the Hero!" As he pulled his left arm back and used his right one to spin the Morpher's top half at the same time. 

In a burst of red light, he was now morphed into his Hero Force Mode. With a look of firmness on his face, he channeled the power of Megaforce Red's ability to fly and blasted off into the air, up towards the floating HPSC building.​


"I see..." Katrina muttered, her voice barely a whisper after hearing what happened. A wave of exhaustion washed over her, and she reached up to pinch the bridge of her nose, closing her eyes for a brief, heavy moment.

​"Kat... what do we do?" Ayumi's voice crackled over the comms. Even through the static, Katrina and Alpha could hear the fragile tremor in her voice; the Pink Ranger was fighting a losing battle against her tears.

​Katrina let out a long sigh, exhaling the doubt before her expression hardened with renewed focus.

​"Right now, we have to stop Arasaka's plan," she said, her voice steady and commanding. "We have to trust that Sora will do the right thing. And if he can't... we'll do whatever it takes to bring him home."

"She's right."

That, of course, got everyone to look around at Reina. Her eyes were blazing with fury, and she looked around at the team.

"All Might and the others are out of comission, meaning we're the only ones who can stop Japan from becoming ground zero for a burning wasteland." She told them.

Cyrus, Ayumi and Kiba looked between each other for a moment, furrowing their brows - and then, they nodded in determination as they stood up.

"Alright, then," The Blue Ranger curtly said, looking around at his friends, "in that case ... we're gonna be heading up. I'd bet that wherever Ryuma's holed up, it's going to be near the top of the fortress - a guy like him would obviously want to be at the very top. We take him down, and the fortress should - theoretically - come down in an orderly manner."

The Pink Ranger wiped her eyes before speaking. "But he's probably expecting us," she frowned, and clenched her fist, "and he has Scrozzle with him. Even if that's the case, we shouldn't keep them waiting."

"Alright then" the Yellow Ranger punched his palm, grinning boldly, "Let's head up there and give them both the butt-kicking of a lifetime!"

Reina smirked at her friends' word before standing forward.

"Alright, numbskulls!" She called out to them. "You all heard Kat, this is literally a race against time! So, let's get up there and shows those punks not to fuck with the Power Rangers!"

"Language!" Ayumi shouted, yet covering her mouth after hearing it herself.

Katrina couldn't help but smiled proudly at her Rangers before speaking. "Well then, you all have your mission. Now go forth, Hero Force. And may the Power protect you."

"Right!" The team nodded in agreement before all dashing out of the hospital, determined to put a stop to the Arasaka family's doomsday plan.

To Be Continued...

Chapter Text

(Hero Force Opening)


As things with the Rangers was happening, a news truck was was seen coming to a halt, as a woman hurridely stepped out. It was Yu Shimamura. The same female reporter who was able to break into UA with her cameraman. She was 5'7", light skin, brown hair in a high ponytail, and had her standard blue suit.

Thanks to her assistant's quirk, Shimamura was now able to make a live boardcast to the world about the floating HSPC

"This is Yu Shimamura with an urgent national emergency broadcast! I repeat, this is not a drill!" She shouted over the roar of wind. She gripped her microphone with trembling hands as the camera panned to the massive crater where a landmark had once stood. "I'm here live in Japan, near Tokyo Tower! Just hours ago, the entire HPSC Headquarters literally launched itself out of the ground! The structure is now airborne! We believe the fault lies in the one who attacked the city a year ago and the USJ! Residents are urged to seek immediate shelter or begin immediate evacuation procedures. If you can hear this, get to a bunker now!"


As the HPSC building now floated within the clouds, Ryuma and Ryutei were now seen in the main room where a large window displayed the entire city of Musutafu.

"At long last, it's time to bring everything to an end." The former spoke aloud, triumph in his tone.

​Ryutei didn't move. He remained staring at the world below, his reflection in the glass shadowed by a heavy, doubtful expression. "Dad... is this really what Mom would have wanted?" 

​Ryuma turned to Ryutei, shocked at what his son said. "The question isn't what your mother would have wanted, Ryutei. It's what they deserve."

​The Doctor began to shake the boy's shoulder, his voice dropping to a jagged whisper. "Remember what she meant to us..." He then took something out of his pocket and handed it to Ryutei. It appeared to be some kind of metallic cylinder object with cyan outlines. "...Remember how she was taken from us." 

His words appeared to work as Ryutei narrowed his eyes and walked away from the window with the device in hand, his mind flashing back to the day Lunetta was killed.


Flashback

Arasaka Base, 12 years ago...

One moment, Ryutei was reclining on his bed, eyes closed as music filled his head. The next, his mother was there, a blur of motion and terror. 

​"Ryutei! Get up! We're leaving!" Lunetta's voice cracked with desperation. ​He yanked his headphones down around his neck, the tiny sound of the music still leaking out into the sudden silence.

"Mom? What's happening?" He stared at the travel bag slung over her shoulder. She wasn't just hurried; she was terrified. "Wait, where's dad?"

"Don't worry about that! We need to go! Now!"

​"What!?" Ryutei gasped. Before he could process the alarm, Lunetta was already grabbing his arm, dragging him toward the base's exit.

​"Ryutei, please! We have to go—now!" Lunetta whispered urgently. Her eyes darted around the corridor as HPSC operatives began to emerge from the shadows. They moved with military precision, their weapons leveled and humming with lethal intent.

​"Ryutei! Lunetta! Run!" Ryuma's voice echoed down the hall. He was pinned against the floor by a team of guards, his fingers straining toward his family.

​"Dad!" Ryutei screamed. A surge of Grid Energy erupted from him as he morphed into the Paladin Ranger in a flash of blinding light. He lunged toward his father, but a blur of movement intercepted him.

​Before he could take a single step, Lady Nagant slammed into him with the force of a high-velocity round. The impact tackled him clean off his feet, driving him through the exit.

"Ryutei!" Lunetta screamed in fear and concern.

"Stand down, kid! Final warning!"

Ryutei shook his head from the dizziness and climbed to his feet, groaning as he did so, yet his eyes remained fixed on the woman with a fire that wouldn't go out.

Ryutei unleashed a burst of Grid Energy, zapping Nagant backward and sending her sprawling head over heels. She scrambled to her feet with lethal grace, launching a flurry of strikes that the Paladin Ranger barely managed to intercept. He countered, surging forward to zap her down to her knees, but Nagant grunted through the pain, driving a punishing blow into his gut that doubled him over.

​Seeing the Ranger falter, the surrounding operatives leveled their weapons, their fingers tightening on their triggers.

​"NO!" Lunetta screamed, lunging toward the nearest soldier. She grabbed the barrel of his rifle, desperately trying to shove it toward the sky. "What are you doing?! He's just a boy!"

"We've got our orders!" The soldier retorted, shoving the woman aside.

"STOP!"

​The scream was torn from Lunetta's throat, but it was too late. Before anyone could track her movement, Lunetta had thrown herself in front of the soldier. Ryuma collapsed to his knees, his spirit breaking in an instant.

​Then, the world turned white.

​A titanic surge of Grid Energy erupted from Ryutei, a physical manifestation of his agony. The resulting explosion tore through the base, buckling steel beams and hurling operatives through the air like autumn leaves.

​When the dust finally settled, a haunting silence hung over the wreckage. Ryutei looked around wildly through the haze until he found them: his father, kneeling in the debris over Lunetta's motionless form.

"MOM!" Ryutei's voice cracked as he sprinted toward them. He reached his parents, his eyes locking with his father's; they shared a look of hollow, shattered grief.

​Nagant and the surviving operatives slowly surrounded the family, weapons lowered. Even Nagant stared at the scene with absolute horror, the weight of the tragedy finally sinking in. But Ryutei didn't see them. He felt his blood begin to boil, the grief curdling into a white-hot rage. His eyes surged with a violent, flickering Grid Energy.


Present Day

With a furious roar, Ryutei slammed the device into the middle of the room with both hands as he began to charge it with immense levels of Grid energy, causing the power to fly around the room in arcs of light. The building lights started flickering from the sudden surge, humming loudly due to the output.

Seeing what was happening, Scrozzle moved over to Ryuma. "Excuse me, Doctor. What exactly is you thermonuclear son doing?" He questioned.

"Infusing the core with Grid energy." Ryuma replied with dark smile as he moved back to the window. "That's the little secret. Once that's done, this flying fortress will fall and turn all of Japan into a flaming pile of rubble, wiping out everything in a 25,000-mile radius along the coast...Heroes, Villains, and citizens alike."

He then narrowed his eyes at the city below with a sneer. "Including us."

Scrozzle looked dumbfounded by this before speaking.

"WHAT!?" He yelled, as Ryuma raised a brow. "You can't just blow Japan, and us with it! I mean, if the rest of the planet will be fine, there's more to conquer! But STILL!" 

"Humanity is a failed experiment! And Japan will serve as a example for your Queen." Ryuma replied. "Fot years, society has looked at Quirks as the ultimate tool of makind. How do you think people like Endeavor and other Pros come into play? Those people up there. The strong and the powerful. They do whatever they want. Then they are people like us, the Quirkless, they don't care about us. We build their roads and machines and everything. Yet they don't give anything back. They only take. That's how it is."

Scrozzle began to tremble, a cold dread sinking into his circuits. He realized too late that this wasn't just another pawn—he was dealing with a man who had a death wish. 

​"The only way to give my wife's life meaning is to destroy the world that took her from us!" Ryuma roared, his voice cracking with raw, unhinged grief. "SO I'M BURNING IT ALL DOWN!"

Before he could take another step, a sharp clack echoed through the room. Lady Nagant dropped silently from the overhead grates, her rifle already deployed and leveled at the two of them. Her eyes were hard, devoid of sympathy.

​"Shut it down. Now," Nagant ordered, her finger tightening on the trigger.

"Well...I didn't expect this." Ryuma spoke, slightly surprised by the woman's appearance. "If it isn't the HPSC personal lapdog from before."

"Shut it off now..." Nagant once ordered but in desperation, which Ryuma noticed as he realized something.

"You're a parent too... aren't you? I can recognize that look from anywhere."

The sniper stiffened at his, confirming the man's words.

​"I'm right, aren't I?" Ryuma said, his voice cold as he watched Lady Nagant begin to tremble. "Good. Then you finally understand how I felt when you stole Ryutei from me for twelve long years..."

​Rage boiled over in Nagant's eyes. She leveled her arm, preparing to fire a shot straight through the Doctor. "You have ten seconds to shut it off," she hissed. ​Before she could pull the trigger, the Paladin Ranger materialized behind her in a flash of light. He seized her shoulder with crushing force, forcing her to her knees.

​"It's done," Ryutei said flatly, his visor reflecting the cold glow of the laboratory as he looked up at his father.

​"Good work, son. I'm prepping the sequence now," Ryuma replied, his fingers dancing across the console to activate the countdown. "This building drops in five minutes."

​"NO!" Nagant screamed, struggling against Ryutei's iron grip, but the Ranger didn't budge.

​Suddenly, a proximity alarm blared. On the monitors, a streak of crimson tore through the sky, heading directly for their position.

​"What is that...?" Ryuma muttered. Beside him, Scrozzle leaned in, his mechanical optics whirring as he analyzed the feed.

​"What? Is Japen launching missiles at us?" the Paladin Ranger asked, his head snapping toward the window.

​"No..." Ryuma's voice, his composure finally wavering. "Whatever that is... it's moving far too fast for a missile."

Scrozzle robotic optics zoomed in on the object as they widened in shock. "The Red Ranger..."

"RYUTEI!" Sora roared as he charged straight through the window and collides into his opponent from the HSPC, crashing through the wall.

Because of the force Sora brought with him, the other occupants were hit by the shockwave that slammed into them and flew across the ground.


​Sora lunged, grappling Ryutei in mid-air as both Rangers plummeted toward the earth, fueled by a shared, explosive rage.

​"YOU HURT MY MOTHER! THIS ENDS NOW!" Sora bellowed, his voice raw and echoing within his helmet.

​The Paladin Ranger didn't struggle against the grip; instead, he looked directly into Sora's visor, his voice chillingly calm. "Now you know my anger. The pain I've felt for 12 YEARS! And you've made the same choice I did."

​Sora's hands clamped around Ryutei's throat. "LIKE HELL I'M ANYTHING LIKE YOU!"

​Ryutei let out a dry, bitter chuckle that grated like shifting gravel. "Yeah..." he whispered as the ground rushed up to meet them. "We'll see."

​In a blur of motion, Ryutei seized Sora's waist and wrenched him around, reversing their positions. With a sickening increase in speed, Ryutei drove them both downward, ensuring Sora would take the brunt of the impact as they crashed.

Within moments, both Rangers crashed right into Mt. Fuuji in a blast of wind and dust, creating something similar to an volanic field.

Once the dust cleared, there was a massive crater from which Sora got up from and looked around for his foe. "WHERE ARE YOU!? DON'T YOU DARE HIDE FROM ME! COME OUT AND FIGHT, COWARD!"

Accepting the challenge, Ryutei appeared right behind Sora, causing the Red Ranger to spin around and throw a ball of fire with one hand. The ground erupted into flames, but Ryutei didn't get burned from it as he ducked underneath the attack before he lunged forward and slammed a reverse palm strike into Sora's gut. This action knocked the Red Ranger off his feet and the Sixth Rangers Keys out of him.

"Ahh!" Sora grunted as he smashed backwards into the ground, demorphing in the process. 

Rolling with his momentum, he was able to correct his footing to slow down before gasping after seeing the Keys on the floor. "Shit!" 

The Paladin Ranger sees the Keys as well before he glares at the Red Ranger and the two Rangers leap toward them.

Upon reaching, a burst of Grid Energy exploded outward in a dome-like fashion. Sora was now morphed back into his Hero Force Mode, smiling as he was glad to see that nothing changed for him. However, upon turning around, he saw something that completely shocked him.

All of the Sixth Rangers were floated around Ryutei who, now morphed in his own Sixth Ranger form, crouched, standing up and open his eyes. The Sixth Rangers keys then soared within his being, granted him even more power.

Sora glared and dashed in to throw a right hook at Ryutei, who blocked it wth his backhand, the impact causing the ground to crack beneath their feet, erupting into a massive crater.

Ryutei opened his eyes as he looked his hand. "You were right about one thing..." Sora strained as the Paladin Ranger looked at him and clenched into his fist. "--this ends now."

The Paladin then started beating the Red Ranger down with a punch, elbow and uppercut, slamming him and spinning him before throwing him through some mountains. 

Sora tried to get up, but Ryutei stop and tries to punch him, but the Leader of the Hero Force grabbed his fist and flies with him in his grasp. The two Rangers continued to trade blows, with Sora dragging him across the ground before throwing him and punching him around the country.


Ryuma and Scrozzle were so engrossed in the duel between Sora and Ryutei that they never heard the subtle hum of a teleportation beam.

​"What's happening? Where did they go?" Ryuma demanded, his eyes darting across the monitors. "What is that brat doing with my son?!"

​"Up there," a voice answered flatly.

​"Where?" Ryuma snapped, assuming it was Scrozzle speaking.

​"Higher."

​As Ryuma looked up, the Yellow Ranger didn't give him a second to react. He drove a lightning-fast smack into Ryuma's windpipe. The Doctor let out a strangled gasp, clutching his throat as he collapsed to the floor.

"Left yourself open." Kiba snickered.

​Simultaneously, Reina moved like a blur. She slammed Scrozzle's head against the viewing window with a sickening crack before hurling him across the room like a piece of scrap metal.

 While the villains were being neutralized, Ayumi and Cyrus rushed to Lady Nagant's side, their hands glowing as they immediately began to heal her wounds with the Mystic Force's magic.

"Hold on, ma'am." Cyrus told her.

Nagant looked Cyrus up and down, a faint, amused smirk tugging at her lips. "Heh... the Power Rangers. I've got to say, I thought you'd be taller."

​Cyrus's expression immediately flattened into a deadpan, are-you-serious stare. Beside him, Ayumi bit her lip, her shoulders shaking as she struggled to suppress a laugh.

​"He gets that a lot," Ayumi managed to get out.

​Nagant turned her gaze toward the Pink Ranger to respond, but the words died in her throat. The air seemed to leave her lungs the moment she saw her. Her eyes widened, her composure shattering in an instant.

​"...Mariko?" Nagant whispered, her voice trembling with disbelief.

Ayumi blinked at that. "I'm sorry...?" She uttered in confusion.

Before Nagant could say anything else to Ayumi, Ryuma roared back to his feet. A jetpack hissed into existence on his back, igniting and slamming him into Kiba with the force of a freight train. The two tumbled across the floor in a messy, undignified heap where they resorted to pulling each other's hair.

​"OW-OW-OW-OW-OW-OW!" they screamed in a jagged, painful unison.

​"Not the hair!" Kiba shrieked, his eyes watering.

​"Agreed!" Ryuma yelled back.

"Let go on three! One... two... THREE!" Kiba barked. They both recoiled, frantically smoothing their disheveled hair, before Ryuma's expression turned predatory. Suddenly a swarm of nanobots shivered into the air, assembling into a colossal, shimmering metallic fist—sized perfectly to crush the Rangers and Nagant in one go.

​Reina stared up at the massive construct, her expression flat. "Oh... a nanofist. I haven't seen one of those since I hate-watched that old Green Lantern movie."

​"I was saving this for Comic-Con with Ryutei!" Ryuma screamed, his grief turning into a violent, swinging arc. "But now there isn't going to be a Comic-Con!"

With a thunderous roar, the nanofist swung, slapping the group with enough force to rattle the very foundations of the base.

"Argh!" They all groaned, as they slid across the ground and came to a painful stop.

Ryuma took a step forward as he stared them down. "I've come too far. I've lost too much to be stopped now!" He declared, reaching up to pinch his coat's shoulder.

"What, you have an anti-Ranger suit somewhere?" Kiba said sarcastically.

Without warning, Ryuma ripped the white fabric away, and allowed it to blow away in the wind as he slammed down on his watch again. All of a sudden, his watch expelled what appeared to be metal panels along his body, spreading around to form a dark silver suit of armor with a white core at the chest, and a helmet with glowing, menacing eyes. Everyone widened their eyes at that.

Slowly, as if on a synchronized pivot, the Rangers and even Lady Nagant turned to stare at Kiba

Slowly, as if on a synchronized pivot, the Rangers and even Lady Nagant turned to stare at Kiba. Their shared expressions screamed a single, exasperated thought: Did you really have to say that out loud?!

The Yellow Ranger laughed meekly. "My bad..."

​"The games end here," Ryuma stated flatly. The suit's arm guards retracted, sliding back to reveal dual high-tension whips. He swung the left one with surgical precision, obliterating the console in a single strike. He didn't even look at the wreckage as he leveled his gaze at them.

"Stop this, Doctor Arasaka!" Cyrus exclaimed, climbing to his feet. "You're a man of science! Your breakthroughs were going to change the world! How could you commit such atrocities!?"

 Ryuma looked at the boy in return. "Excuse you, mustard gas would like a word... " He retorted with a scoff.

"Uh, excuse YOU, solar energy has something to say!"

"Excuse YOU, anthrax has an opinion on that!"

"Excuse YOU, penicillin would like to chime in!"

 Ryuma went silent for a few seconds before replying with, "...The atom bomb."

Cyrus screamed in anger and frustration at this.

"Are these nerd insults?" Reina's face twisted in bewilderment with everyone else wondering the same thing.

"Come on, guys! Let's take him down!" The Blue Ranger called out to his friends.

"Right!" everyone said, as Nagant jump across to gain enough distance so she could shoot at the doctor.

"I've watched and studied up on your little suit ups. With this enhanced armor, I'm easily able to take whatever you can dish out," Ryuma kept his attention focused on the teenagers as he cracked his neck, "and you little children still wanna try me?"

"Trust us," Reina growled, with Kiba lifting up his arms, Ayumi tensing up, and Cyrus pushing up his glasses, "we'd love nothing more."

"IT'S MORPHIN TIME!" They shouted before they spun the dial on their Morphers, right before different gumball-sized holograms logos floated on the dials' faces: The RPM logo.

"Legendary Ranger Mode, RPM!" They called out respectively before they slammed their dials down. Soon, a key appeared in each of their hands as it was revealed to be the Ranger Keys.

The team then held up their Ranger Keys before flicking them open.

"RPM, Get in Gear!"

They soon inserted the keys into their Morphers' slots and turned the keys, becoming engulfed in bursts of light.


(Morph sequence - RPM)

The RPM logo appears off the Morpher with the background changing to a blue tunnel, as Cyrus was sliding through the tunnel and circling around into three different holographic screens with each one depicting a different part of his Ranger suit and arsenal. Soon he skids to a halt as his entire body glows pure white before revealing his Ranger outfit from his neck to feet as two seat belts form around on his chest area well. When Cyrus lowers his arms, the Lion Hauler Zord suddenly appears from behind him before turning into his helmet and attaching to his head with the visor sliding down to cover his face to complete the transformation, as Cyrus poses while an explosion occurred behind him with the RPM logo appearing.

The RPM logo appears off the Morpher with the background changing to a yellow tunnel, as Kiba was sliding through the tunnel and circling around into three different holographic screens with each one depicting a different part of his Ranger suit and arsenal. Soon he skids to a halt as his entire body glows pure white before revealing his Ranger outfit from his neck to feet as two seat belts form around on his chest area well. When Kiba lowers his arms, the Bear Crawler Zord suddenly appears from behind him before turning into his helmet and attaching to his head with the visor sliding down to cover his face to complete the transformation, as Kiba poses while an explosion occurred behind him with the RPM logo appearing.

The RPM logo appears off the Morpher with the background changing to a green tunnel, as Reina was sliding through the tunnel and circling around into three different holographic screens with each one depicting a different part of her Ranger suit and arsenal. Soon she skids to a halt as her entire body glows pure white before revealing her Ranger outfit from her neck to feet as two seat belts form around on her chest area well. When Reina lowers her arms, the Orca Spinner Zord suddenly appears from behind her before turning into her helmet and attaching to her head with the visor sliding down to cover her face to complete the transformation, as Reina poses while an explosion occurred behind her with the RPM logo appearing.

The RPM logo appears off the Morpher with the background changing to a purple tunnel, as Ayumi was sliding through the tunnel and circling around into three different holographic screens with each one depicting a different part of her Ranger suit and arsenal. Soon she skids to a halt as her entire body glows pure white before revealing her Ranger outfit from her neck to feet as two seat belts form around on her chest area well. When Ayumi lowers her arms, the Wolf Cruiser Zord suddenly appears from behind her before turning into her helmet and attaching to her head with the visor sliding down to cover her face to complete the transformation, as Ayumi poses while an explosion occurred behind her with the RPM logo appearing.

(End morph sequence)


Now morphed, the Rangers stood side by side, ready to fight.

"RPM Blue!" Cyrus called out. He was now wearing a blue suit, a belt with the RPM symbol around his waist, four black wheel like things below his knees and below his elbows, and on his chest was car seatbelts with a bronze lion motif shaped like the number '2' in the center. His helmet was blue with yellow rectangular headlights on top, yellow linging on the sides, two silver wheels on the sides of his helmet, and his visor is black and shaped like an upside down trapezium. On the right side of his belt was a side blaster shaped like a gas pump handle.

"RPM Yellow!" Kiba called out. He was now wearing a yellow suit, a belt with the RPM symbol around his waist, four black wheel like things below his knees and below his elbows, and on his chest was car seatbelts with a bronze bear motif shaped like the number '3' in the center. His helmet was yellow with silver ellipce headlights on top, silver linging on the sides, two silver wheels on the sides of his helmet, and his visor is black and shaped like a oval. On the right side of his belt was a side blaster shaped like a gas pump handle.

"RPM Green!" Reina called out. She was now wearing a green suit with a skirt, a belt with the RPM symbol around her waist, four golden wheel like things below her knees and below his elbows, and on her chest was car seatbelts with a bronze orca motif shaped like the number '4' in the center. Her helmet was green with green fin on top. Silver parallelogram headlights with, white coloring on the sides, two silver wheels on the sides of her helmet, and er visor is black and shaped like a V. On the right side of her belt was a side blaster shaped like a gas pump handle.

Her helmet was black with black ear-like edges on top. Yellow trapezoid headlights with two silver wheels on the sides of her helmet, and her visor is black and shaped like a sharp U. On the right side of her belt was a side blaster shaped like a gas pump handle.

 On the right side of her belt was a side blaster shaped like a gas pump handle

"Power Rangers..." The team shouted before they started to get into different poses. "RPM!" The four of them shouted together in sync for everyone to hear, as the power of the combined morph was chucked with enough Grid Energy that caused a powerful explosion behind them, leaving everyone watching astounded in awe.

Nagant's eyes slightly widened in surprise at this unknown power that sent a small tingle down her spine.

"What is this power...?" She whispered in shock from both the morph and Grid Energy she felt.

Instead of looking intimidated, Ryuma's grin widened, eyes filled to the brim with bloodlust.

"Very well then," He chuckled, and then slammed down his whips, the weapons crackling with power. "Let's see how 'powerful' you really are!"


The air echoed with shockwaves as two blurs of red and cyan clashed through again and again. Sora and Rytuei were totally invisible as they moved, only illuminated for the briefest of milliseconds when they clashed and their aura lit them up.

A large tree burst into a million fragments.

Holes appeared in the buildings and walls.

They appeared.

Sora's fist flashed.

Ryutei caught it.

Ryutei's fist flashed.

Sora caught it.

Stalemate.

The power soared horribly and the pair grunted and strained, muscles and veins bulging, teeth bared.

Until Ryutei pushed Sora backward, spreading the Red Ranger's arms swide, leaving him open.

The Paladin Ranger then leapt and thrust both heels almost straight forward in the HF leader's chest. A crunching filled the air and Sora was blasted downward and smashed through the treeline of the forest surrounding Fujinomiya, the city's lights flickering in the distance as the gateway to Mount Fuji loomed above them. Climbing up to one knee, Sora turned his glare up to his opponent, revealing part of his visor shattered and showing his red eye.

​Ryutei touched down slowly, his Ranger uniform gleaming under the moonlight. "Why are you alone? Where are your friends?" he asked, his voice echoing with a cold, sudden realization. "They tried to stop you, didn't they? Yet you came anyway. Tell me... what kind of hero abandons his friends to pursue a petty grudge?"

​"Don't you DARE talk about them!" Sora roared, pushing himself up from the dirt.

​"And here I thought you cared for them," Ryutei continued, turning his back with dismissal. "Especially your own mother."

Sora's restraint was broken. With a primal roar, he dashed forward than ever before. The impact of his fist against Ryutei's helmet sent a shockwave through the area, shattering the visor in the process. The sheer force of the blow leveled the surrounding trees into splinters.

The impact sent the Paladin Ranger hurtling across Mount Fuji. He skidded through the dust, his armor flickering before shattering away, leaving Ryutei shivering in the silence of the mountainside. Sora touched down seconds later, his boots heavy. He lunged, hoisting Ryutei up by his collar, his fist pulled back for a final, lethal strike.

​"Go ahead! FINISH IT!" Ryutei screamed, his voice cracking over the comms. Sora hesitated, his gauntlet humming with power. "What are you waiting for?! DO IT!" Ryutei pounded a fist against his own chest, right over his heart.

​In that moment of blind rage, a memory surfaced in Sora's mind—the warmth of his mother's voice, the soft touch of her hand on his shoulder.

​"I'd say... The day will come when you're going to change into the man you're gonna be for the rest of your life," Serena's voice echoed. "Great things are going to happen in your future. Don't you ever change who you are. Do that, and I think you'd be a great hero if you continue to fight for what's right."

​The fire in Sora's eyes flickered and died. He looked at his trembling hands, realizing how close he had come to kill Ryutei. He let go, allowing the Paladin Ranger to slump back into the dust.

​"This is not who I am," Sora whispered. He turned his back on his foe and walked several paces away. He sat down, his Red Ranger armor dissolving into light, leaving him vulnerable and small against the vastness of space. He curled his knees to his chest, the weight of the war finally crushing his spirit.

​Ryutei stared, bewildered. He scrambled to his feet, clutching his side. "Wha—? What are you doing? Kill me! Your revenge is right here! Why don't you—"

​"Because," Sora interrupted, turning his head just enough to show his sorrowful face. "There are no winners with revenge."

​The anger drained out of Ryutei as if a plug had been pulled. He looked at Sora's expression—the raw, honest sadness—and then looked up at the stars. Suddenly, the silence of the moon wasn't empty. It was filled with a gentle, laughing echo.

​"Look, see those stars? They're like diamonds, right?" Lunetta's voice was as clear as the day he had lost her.

​Ryutei fell to his knees, his hands digging into the dirt. "The last time I sat beneath stars like these... I was with her," he said softly.

​Sora watched him, his gaze softening with a knowing look. "Your mom?"

​Ryutei nodded slowly, his shoulders slumped in defeat. "After losing her, I've felt this pain for so long. I think... I think it's all I've known how to feel."

Sora turned his head forward and look down. "Well, join the club. Ayumi and the others? They've all lost their moms in one way or another. Ayumi and Reina lost theirs as kids, Cyrus has been neglected for his entire childhood, and Kiba's ran off on him without looking back."​

"Did... did their pain eventually go away?" Ryutei's voice trembled, the words catching in his throat. He wasn't asking, he was begging.

​Sora looked at him, his expression softening with a heavy, honest weight. "No," he answered quietly. "But in time, each of them found something more powerful than the pain."

​Ryutei looked up, his eyes searching Sora's. "What?"

​"The love we felt for each other," Sora said, stepping closer. "That's what you have to hold on to, Ryutei. Your mom... she might be gone. But that love? It's the one thing no one can't take. It's the one thing that remains."

The two Rangers stood in silence, watching as more stars pierced through the velvet dark of the night sky. Ryutei stared upward, the twinkling lights reflecting in his eyes as a memory of his mother surfaced—a soft voice from a time before the war.

​"The light shines... even though the star is gone," Ryutei murmured, the words catching in the quiet air.

​Sora turned to him, a proud smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. But as his gaze drifted past Ryutei, he saw it: the HPSC headquarters, a jagged silhouette still hovering ominously in the distance.

​"Guys..." Sora whispered, his tone shifting to one of grim realization.

​Ryutei followed his gaze. The sight of the flying fortress acted like a cold splash of water. He looked down at his gloved hands, his shoulders slumping in shame.

​"This whole mess is my fault," Ryutei said, his voice thick with regret. "I was so blinded by what happened... I thought... I had no choice."

Soon, a hand reached out from the corner of his eye, causing him to look over to see it was Sora.

"You always have a choice." the Red Ranger said, as Ryutei grabs it and stands up. "But making the right one is never easy. And if your mom is anything like mine, because you always said when you really screw something up, you can't fix it on your own. You with me?"

(Start at 0:26)

Ryutei looked at Sora, surprised by the gesture, but a genuine smile finally broke through his stoic exterior. The two Rangers gripped hands, a silent pact made, before turning in unison toward their respective morphers.

​"It's Morphin' Time!" Sora yelled with enough spirit to shake the mountain.

​Ryutei froze, his smile instantly dying as he shot Sora a look of pure second-hand embarrassment. "I'm... absolutely not saying that."

Soon, a key appeared in each of their hands as it was revealed to be the Red and Silver Space Ranger Keys. The duo then held up their Ranger Keys before flicking them open.

"Let's Rocket!"

 As Sora inserted his key into his Morpher's slots and turned it, Ryutei inserted his inside his Morpher's faceplate and turned it. Soon, they both became engulfed in bursts of light.

Once the lights died down, both boys were now morphed as the Red and Silver Space Rangers.

Sora was now in a Red Power Ranger suit, with white gloves and boots, as well as a line along his shoulders and chest, which had five different colored squares on - left to right, one black, one yellow, one red, one pink, one blue. He also had two white lines along his helmet, one below, one above his visor, which had four sharp corners on - the upper two being slightly longer than the bottom two. He also had a white belt on, with a buckle that looked like an M shape, a yellow neck shape, a sliver mouthpiece without a lip piece, and he had a black circle on top, which had a computer symbol on, and a blaster in a holder on his belt.

Ryutei's Ranger suit looked the same as Sora's, except the body and helmet were silver, the lines and belt were golden, along with a line over each glove, the six squares on the chest were green, and his helmet symbol was a microchip.

Beside them were jetboard vehicles known as The Galaxy Gliders.

​"Let's go beyond!" Sora declared, punching his fist into his palm.

​Ryutei leveled a deadpan stare at him, though he couldn't quite hide the competitive smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth. "Seriously? Please tell me you aren't actually making that your catchphrase."

Sora smirked back. "Sure am, new Ranger. And everyone's gonna love it."

The two Rangers then jumped on the gilders and blasted off the mountain and fly off towards the HPSC headquarters, ready to put an end to this once and for all.

To be Continued...

Chapter Text

(Hero Force Opening)


Back in the HPSC

Facing the 4 morphed Rangers, Ryuma's grin widened, eyes filled to the brim with bloodlust.

"Very well then," He chuckled, and then slammed down his whips, the weapons crackling with power. "Let's see how 'powerful' you really are!"

With that, Ryuma swung his whips as they crackled with power, and then launched his left arm forward, sending his left whip straight toward the Rangers.

"Scatter!" Kiba yelled at once, forcing the group to break apart as the whip slammed into their previous spot.

 Ayumi dove out of the of the way as some debris nearly grazed her, while Kiba and Reina leapt back from the attack while Cyrus rolled to the side and pressed his belt buckle, summoning his main weapon.

"Turbo Cannon, fire!" He shouted, firing two yellow energy blasts at the armored foe. The blasts hit their mark as sparks erupted from the armor.

"Argh!" Ryuma groaned out, before he swept his whip to where Cyrus and smacked him across the chest.

"Erk!" He let out a grunt of surprise and pain as he was thrown away, spinning through the air before smashing through a table.

"Cyrus!" Ayumi let out a growl of concentration as she pressed her own belt buckle to summon her own weapon. "Rocket Blaster!"

She leapt over Ryuma and fired several purple blasts at him, slamming against the armor and driving the man back a little, making him shake his head and sneer.

"That all you got?!"

As he swung his whips at Ayumi, the RPM Black Ranger dived out of the way, giving Reina time to surge forward.

"Turbo Axe!" She roared, swinging her weapon across Ryuma's chest twice in a 'X' formation with sparks flying everywhere. She was about to swing again when Ryuma swung up his armored leg up and caught Reina in the side, making her grunt as she was knocked away.

"Zip Charger, activate!"

Ryuma quickly spun around when he heard the sound of revving, just in time to see a yellow projectile launching straight at him, taking another hit to his chest multiple times as he was forced back.

"Yellow! Out of the way!"

​Kiba dove to the side without hesitation. As soon as the line of sight cleared, Nagant unleashed a rapid-fire barrage, her rounds slamming into Ryuma's power core with surgical precision. Sparks and coolant sprayed from the impact points.

"No way!" Cyrus gasped in shock. "L-Lady Nagant!?"

​"I'm hurt," Nagant remarked, though the smug pull of her lips suggested otherwise. She leaned back, glancing at Cyrus. "I figured you kids knew exactly whose life you were saving."

"Wow, seriously!?" Kiba looked surprised. "The beautiful hero who once reached the Top 10?!"

"Well, she was pretty well-known when we were growing up." Reina chimed with her own wide eyes.

Ayumi tilted her head, watching the former hero with growing curiosity. A flicker of doubt crossed her mind. 'Why did she call me Mariko?'

​The thought was cut short as she saw something out of the corner of her eyes, causing her to look out of the window and see two small blurs approaching the building fast.

​"Wait... what was that?!" Ayumi's voice cut through. The other Rangers, Nagant, and even Ryuma who skidded to a halt, their eyes tracking the shimmering blurs streaking through the sky.

​"ALERT! ALERT!" the base computer's synthesized voice shrieked, the red emergency lights bathing the room in a rhythmic, bloody pulse.

​From across the room, the Doctor froze. His eyes were locked on a flickering monitor, where the graining footage showed Sora and Ryutei side-by-side. His helmet retracted to reveal his face as the color drained from it.

"It's Cap!" Kiba exclaimed in glee.

"And Ryutei's with him!" Cyrus added with a smile.

"So, he didn't lose himself..." Reina muttered before smirking. "I knew it."

Ayumi felt her heart flip with joy seeing that Sora stay true to himself and didn't follow through revenge. "Sora..." She uttered, her words fill with both relief and...something more.


Meanwhile...

Scrozzle, who has been regained consciousness, had taken refuge on another floor to escape battle. 

"Darn those Rangers!" He grunted, looking down stump of his missing hand. But then, he looks up at Sora and Ryutei coming back.

 ​"Oh no... no, no..."

​Fumbling with his communicator with his remaining hand, he patched through a high-priority channel. "Lady Alsatia! Your grace, I need reinforcements! I beg you!"

​"I am already aware, Scrozzle."

​Alsatia's voice cut through the air as a flicker of blue light coalesced into a sharp, life-sized hologram. She stood with her arms crossed, looking down at him with regal indifference.

​"While the Doctor is clearly not of sound mind, his plan is... fascinating," she continued, her eyes narrowed. "If Japan is reduced to ash, it will serve as a permanent monument to the Rangers' failure. A grim reminder to any who would dare deny me."

​Scrozzle bowed his head, his mechanical joints whirring nervously. "I... of course, my lady. Your vision is unparalleled."

​"Indeed. Therefore, your request has been granted," Alsatia commanded. The hologram's gaze turned toward the window where she could see Sora and Ryutei coming. "Ensure the Rangers outside do not interfere. I want Doctor Arasaka's task to proceed without interruption."


Outside the flying fortress, hordes of Batzlers deployed from the vents, swarming like metallic locusts until they completely surrounded the Ranger duo.

​"What the—!?" Sora shouted, snapping back-to-back with Ryutei. His eyes darting across the sea of robotic soldiers. "I didn't see a single one of these things when I was flying up here the first time!"

​"Probably that damn tin can's handiwork," Ryutei growled, narrowing his eyes at the encroaching horde. "He must have called in for reinforcements when my father and I weren't looking."

​"Typical," Sora grunted in annoyance. Despite the odds, a defiant chuckle escaped his helmet. "Soooooo... you ready to recycle some tin cans?"

​Ryutei glanced over his shoulder, his own laughter sharp and confident. "Just try to keep up, Red."

The two Rangers unleashed a relentless barrage upon the Batzler horde, alternating between solo strikes and synchronized tag-team maneuvers. A stray Batzler lunged at Sora from his blind side, but the Red Ranger didn't even flinch; he caught the blow with his hand, the impact ringing out as he shoved the creature back into the fray.

​Simultaneously, another attacker swung at Ryutei, only for the Paladin Ranger to catch the strike against the reinforced frame of his sword-gun. With a snarl of effort, Ryutei seized a hulking Batzler by the throat, hoisting the creature off its feet. He rained a series of heavy, bone-crunching punches into its chest before disdainfully flicking the broken soldier aside.

​Sensing the opening, Sora blurred into motion. He became a streak of crimson light, speed-dashing through the heart of the horde. He didn't just hit them; he carved through them, leaving a trail of sparks and collapsing Batzlers in his wake as he decimated half their ranks in a single, breathless second.


​"Ryutei..."

 ​Ryuma's voice was barely a whisper, lost under the raucous celebrating of the Rangers, while Nagant watches in amusement. He stared at the ground, his entire frame shaking as his anger finally boiled over.

​"YOU TURNED MY SON AGAINST ME!!" The Doctor's roar echoed through the chamber as he launched himself at the group. He lashed out with his whips, the air whistling as they struck. Nagant and the Rangers moved as one, diving in opposite directions to narrowly dodge the snapping coils.

​"You did that yourself, Doctor!" Ayumi cried out, skidding to a halt. "Your wife would never have wanted this! She wouldn't want to see you like this!"

​"Don't you dare presume what my wife would WANT!" Ryuma screamed, his voice cracking with madness.

​Before Ayumi could react, a loud gunshot rang out from across the room.

BANG!

BANG!

The first bullet, hitting Ryuma's hand in a purple flash, knocked the whip aside as it sliced a table into splinters, several shards of broken wood being sent flying to the side and away from Ayumi as she flinched back out of reflex.

The second bullet, meanwhile, completely shattered the armored mask in a shower of blood, as Ryuma felt his eyes widen at the feeling of something hot and sharp entering his nose - and then completely blowing it apart.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!"

As Ryuma screamed and grabbed at his face, the Rangers were taken back by the scene. They couldn't see the man's face, which may have been a relief due to all the blood that was gushing out of his nose from where he had been shot, but they could hear him swear over and over in pain.

So much, that he began talking several steps backward... right in front of the cylinder core Ryutei had put down.

"Doctor Arasaka!" Ayumi yelled, as she tried to run as fast as she could to catch him. But she was a few seconds late, as Ryuma had stumbled hard into the Grid energy object, causing the power to start erupting.

"AAAAAAAAAAARRRRGGHHHHH!" Ryuma screamed at the top of his lungs as the massive output began overloading his suit and flowing through his body. 

Soon, the powerful light given off by the energy illuminated him, and then he was lost from view as the surge of pure energy engulfed him.

"Get down!" Reina yelled, tackling Kiba and Ayumi to the ground with Cyrus and Nagant diving for cover as the core exploded with enough force to make the ground jump then slam into them.

The light suddenly compressed, crackling and sparking madly before it shot into the sky and into the concealing thunderclouds overhead. It shrieked as it climbed, like a banshee was climbing from the depths of Hell. 

When the shrieking ball of energy was out of sight, the silence was almost eerie. Finally, everyone felt secure enough to sit up. When they got their first look at the scene, their jaws dropped.

Only ravaged ground remained where Ryuma had once stood.

​"Holy Crap..." Kiba exclaimed, as he looks down to see that there was no body.

"I-Is he...?" Ayumi began looking over at her friends.

Reina looked at her for a long moment, then slowly closed her eyes. She shook her head, the gesture made Ayumi's breath hitching in her throat. She turns to look at Nagant, her eyes brimming with a mixture of horror and fury. Without a second thought, she pressed her Morpher, causing her helmet to vanish before running to Nagant with pure rage.

​"WHY?!" Ayumi shrieked, her fists bunching into Nagant's collar. "WHY DID YOU DO THAT?!"

Nagant raised an eyebrow at the girl. "What? Save your life?"She repiled, matter of factly.

Ayumi became shocked at how cold she was acting, after sending Doctor Arasaka to his death.

"I didn't ask you to do that! You could have just restrain him!? There was no reason to murder him!"

​"I did what was necessary," Nagant remarked, her voice as cold and flat as the barrel of her rifle. "He was going to kill everyone in Japan!"

"Yes, but he was hurting and he could have given us a way to stop this thing." Cyrus chimed in.

"Why do you even care!? You kill as well!"

"That's different!" Reina shouted back in anger. "Destroying aliens and monsters is one thing! But we don't take another human's life!"

​"It's the way of the world, kids. It always has been," Nagant said, her voice heavy with a weary sort of finality as she turned toward Reina. "You can't change it." 

The Rangers all stared at her for a long moment, feeling their jaws drop a bit in surprise by her tone. 

Ayumi stared after her in shock, feeling her stomach drop - and then, at once, a dangerous pout appeared on her face.

"Then maybe the world is what needs to change," She countered, her eyes burning with a cold, sharp glare.​

"What are you—" Nagant's explanation was cut short. 

RUMBLE

Suddenly, the building began to shake violently, getting everyone's attention.

"What the heck was that!" Kiba yelped, as he swayed left and right.

Cyrus sprinted toward the console, his fingers dancing across the keys in a attempt to override Ryuma's systems. Red error messages blinked back at him, mocking his efforts. With a growl of mounting frustration, he slammed his fist against the terminal.

​"NO! HPSC Headquarters is almost in its strike zone!"

"What?" Reina questioned in confusion.

"When Doctor Arasaka fell into the core, I think it pushed the building up, not only, but it's basically a bomb now!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"EHHHHHHHH!?" The other Rangers blurted with shock.


As the duo tore through the final wave of grunts, Ryutei glanced upward. His blood ran cold. 

​"DAMNIT! We're out of time!" Ryutei roared, his voice straining over the sound of grinding metal. "Where are you?!"

​"Oh, you know," Sora shouted over his shoulder, a sheepish grin visible even through his visor. "Just making friends!"

​Ryutei turned just in time to see Sora sprinting toward him, a swarm of the remaining Batzlers  hot on his heels. Without missing a beat, the Paladin Ranger stepped forward and leveled his sword-gun. He unleashed a precise volley of ice, the icy bolts tearing through the robots and reducing the mechanical pursuit to scrap metal in seconds.

"Come on! The others needs us!" Sora shouted. Without waiting for a response, the two Rangers rocketed into the air, streaks of light trailing behind them as they banked toward the flying fortress.


"Wait, you're saying we're basically on a ticking nuke!?" Kiba panicked, nearly losing his mind.

"Oh no, we're on a birthday cake." Reina snarked sarcastically. "YES! According to this, we have at least five minutes to stop it!"

Ayumi gulped nervously. "What...happens if it reaches zero?"

Cyrus looked at his friends, a heavy sigh escaping him as he leaned against a console. "Before? Before, the building would have just turned Japan into a smoking crater," he said, his voice sounding scared. "But with the core this unstable? It won't just be a blast. Radiation could spread out from the site of the crash, and into the atmosphere. The East of China would likely be affected too, and that's where the majority of that country's population is. We ..." He let out a small, shaky breath, "... we could be looking at a repeat of Chernobyl."

The room was completely silent, as everyone turned to stare at each other in complete and utter horror. 

With a sharp crack of static and a flash of light, Sora and Ryutei materialized inches away from Reina.

​"AH!" Reina yipped, nearly leaping out of her skin as she stumbled back. "Really? Wait, Sora!"

"And... you!" Kiba gaped out in surprise upon seeing Ryutei.

Before the Paladin Ranger could respond to that, he noticed Nagant standing in the same room as him and the other Rangers. "What are you still doing here? And why are you standing next to them?" He asked while narrowing his eyes at Nagant.

"These two..." Nagant replied while nodding her head towards Ayumi and Cyrus. "healed my wounds after Red here tackled you through a wall. So I thought I'd help them out as my way of saying thanks."

"Yeah, by murdering Dr. Arasaka," Ayumi- still mad at Nagant for what she did- muttered, loud enough for everyone in the room to hear her.

"W-What?..." Ryutei asked as he was shocked and surprised by what Ayumi said (even Sora was surprised by that), before he turned to the other Rangers. "Is that true? Is my father really...?"

Reina, Cyrus, and Kiba nodded their heads, making Ryutei's eyes widen even more.

'First my mother... And now this?!...'

His fists clenched tightly as Grid Energy began to crackle around both hands.Before he could act, Sora grabbed his right arm firmly and pulled his attention back. At the same moment, he removed his helmet.

"Hey. This isn't the time," Sora said firmly.Ryutei turned toward him, tense. A second later, he yanked his own helmet off as well.

"WHAT did you just say?" Ryutei snapped. "Are you seriously defending her?!"

"No," Sora replied immediately. "She should answer for what she's done. But not like this. Remember what we talked about. Remember what our moms would want us to do right now."

Ryutei’s eyes widened slightly as he remembered that he still carries the love he had for his parents before he lost both of them. After taking some deep breaths, he calmed down as the Grid Energy surrounding his fists dissipated completely. “R-Right.”

Sora nodded at this, until the room he and everyone else were in rumbled, catching his and Ryutei’s attention.

"Guys, what's happening!?" Sora asked in a worried tone, facing him team.

"We have a tiny problem."

"Define 'tiny'," Ryutei replied, stepping forward.

"Basically, we're looking at a meltdown if we don't stop this thing in 5 minutes." Reina explained curtly.

Sora blinked twice at that. "Ahh, damn. That is bad."

"We're not done here." Ryutei spoke, getting everyone's attention. "You guys leave this place. I'll use my Megazord to push it away from Earth before it explodes. This is our last chance... to do the right thing."

"Wait! What if we force Scrozzle to help us stop the meltdown?" Sora suggested, looking around frantically.

​Ryutei narrowed his eyes, looking around the wreckage of the room. "Speaking of which... where's that robot anyway?"

​A heavy silence fell over the room as the Rangers realized the space where the robot had been standing was empty.

​"OH, YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! HE'S GONE!" Kiba shrieked, his visor practically bulging as his expression shifted into a comedic mask of disbelief.

​"He must have warped out of here while we were busy with Doctor Arasaka," Reina spat, her fist colliding with her other. "That dirty coward!"

​"You guys, we're running out of time," Ayumi whispered, her voice trembling as she checked the scanners. "What are we going to do?"

​"I know what to do," Ryutei said, his voice dropping to a calm, steady tone that drew every eye in the room. "I'll use the Typhon Megazord to push the entire building into space."

​The other Rangers froze, but Ryutei didn't look back. "I'm the one who started all of this. It's only right that I'm the one who ends it."

"What are you going on about?" Sora cut in, stepping up to the Paladin Ranger. "This is our home too, and we're going save it all the more!"

"What!? No! I have to be the one to do this! The Earth needs you, it needs the Power Rangers, it doesn't need a faker like me..."

"You're wrong, you're a Ranger too. And we'll do it the same way every Ranger before us did. Together."

Ryutei looked at the boy in surprise at his declaration, before shaking his head.

Cyrus took that moment to speak. "We can't stop the core from exploding, but we can keep it away from the city with the Zords!"

​Sora looked back at the others, his own grin widening as he glanced at each of the five Rangers. "How about we send that core to Alsatia as a gift? I'm sure she'll love it."

​"Wait," Reina said, stopping in her tracks. She turned toward Sora, a slow, knowing smile spreading across her face. "Sora... are you thinking what I think you're thinking?"

"Alright! I love surprises!" Kiba grinned widely.

"Let's do this!" Ayumi joined in.

"Hold on!"

The group paused and looked over to see Nagant moving over to them.

"You kids are going to push this thing away from the planet onto the enemy, that'll be a declaration of war."

"Hey, they came to Earth first." Reina shot back. "Now they're gonna see what happens when you fuck around and find out!"

Nagant stood in front of the Rangers. "You're all going to die out there, don't you get it!?" Nagant said as she then looks at Ayumi. "Mariko, think carefully about this."

Sora looked confused at this. "Mariko?" he repeated, looking at the blonde.

"Okay, seriously, why are you calling our friend Mariko!" Kiba asked, gesturing to Ayumi. "Her name's Ayumi, Ayumi Suzuni."

"'Suzuni?'" Nagant repeated, a flicker of recognition in her eyes. "So, they were the ones who took you in." 

​Ayumi's brow furrowed, her confusion growing even more. "Took me in? What are you talking about!?" she demanded, her voice rising. "And why are you calling me Mariko again?! WHO ARE YOU!?" 

After hearing that, Nagant looked awkward, and... well... honestly a bit afraid, something that made the Pink Ranger straighten her back.

RUMBLE

The ground was still settling as the Rangers and Nagant fought to find their footing. Sora stepped forward, placing a firm, grounding hand on Ayumi's shoulder. He could feel the Pink Ranger trembling with a mix of fury and confusion.

​"Ayumi, look at me," Sora said, his voice low but steady. "I know you have questions. But we have to stay focused. We'll have Katrina teleport her to the Command Chamber. We can get the truth there, where it's safe."

Shaking the lingering thoughts from her head, Ayumi gave a sharp nod in response.

​Sora offered her a small, reassuring smile before reaching up to his morpher to call the Command Center. ​"Katrina, this is Sora. Come in."

​A static-heavy chirp preceded a voice filled with immediate relief. "Sora?! Is that you? Thank goodness," Katrina's voice crackled through. "What's wrong? What happened up there?"

"Long story short, the HPSC building is about to go boom and we're going to move it off planet. Also, we have another guest here and need you to warp them away."

"I see, and what kind is our guest? The good kind or the bad?"

 "Lady Nagant."

Silence hung heavy over the comms until Alpha's voice broke through the static, sharp and demanding.

​"Aye-yi-yi-yi-yi! Nagant?! The Lady Nagant? The woman who murdered a fellow hero in cold blood? Rangers, why on earth would you bring someone like that into our home?"

"Alpha, do it." Katrina told him. "...Trust me."

"A-Alright, commencing teleportation."

Before Nagant could even register the hum of energy, she was warped away from the ledge. The Rangers watched as a pillar of light claimed her, signaling her safe transport to the Command Center.

​"Thank you, Katrina." Ayumi whispered, a wave of relief washing over her. 

"You're absolutely welcome, Ayumi. Now, you have at least ten seconds to do what you need to do. Good luck, Rangers!"

"Right!" The team chorused together as the called ended.

"But which Megazord are we using, anyway?" Kiba asked, tossing a thumb toward the back of the room. "Since Mr. Broody-Pants over there wrecked ours."

​As the group sank into a collective mumble of uncertainty, Ayumi's voice cut through the air.

​"OH! I've got it!"

​Every eye in the room locked onto her.

"Let's go with the Mega Voyager!" She told them. "It's got the best defense and speed to get us up there."

The other Rangers all looked at Ayumi in awe as Reina swept Ayumi off her feet, spinning her in a jubilant circle.

"That beautiful mind of yours!" the Green-Black Ranger cheered, finally setting her friend back down.

 "Yeah, that's perfect!" Cyrus nodded in agreement.

"That's our Ayumi!" Kiba whooped.

"Ayumi, I could kiss you right now!" Sora yelled, a moment passes until he realizes what he said. "I MEAN ON THE CHEEK!"

Ayumi's cheeks exploded red at that, especially when she recalled the steamy kiss they had before...

"Ahem."

The sudden sound cut in the silence as everyone looked over at Rytuei. "Bomb? Remember?"

"R-Right!" Ayumi squeaked, patting her cheeks to cool them down.

"Right, let's do it Rangers!" Sora declared as he placed his helmet back on with Ryutei.

Soon, a key appeared in Cyrus, Reina, Kiba, and Ayumi's hands as it was revealed to be the Space Ranger Keys.

The team then held up their Space Ranger Keys before flicking them open. "Let's Rocket!" They called out before inserting the keys into their Morphers' slots and turned the keys, becoming engulfed in bursts of light.

As the light down, the team were now morphed as the Space Power Rangers.

Cyrus wore a Blue Ranger suit the same as Sora's. The visor however was completely an upside down version of Sora's, his weapon was an Axe, and his helmet symbol was a projector, and his Digital Stats were: AT 280, DF 300, SP 350. He then spun around as the words 'Morphing Complete' came up, and then his helmet symbol glowed.

 He then spun around as the words 'Morphing Complete' came up, and then his helmet symbol glowed

Reina then morphed into a Black Ranger suit the similar to the boys, expect hers had a skirt on. The visor had slightly the same, expect the ends had eight corners instead of four - four on each side, like half of a Octagon. Her weapon was a lance, and her helmet symbol was a satellite, and her Digital Stats were: AT 400, DF 350, SP 350. She then spun around as the words 'Morphing Complete' came up, and then her helmet symbol glowed.

 She then spun around as the words 'Morphing Complete' came up, and then her helmet symbol glowed

Ayumi then morphed into a Pink Ranger suit similar to Reina's. The visor had a rounded ends on instead of points, like an oval shape. Her weapon was a satellite blaster, her helmet symbol was a cell phone, and her Digital Stats were: AT 300, DF 350, SP 400. She then spun around as the words 'Morphing Complete' came up, and then her helmet symbol glowed.

 She then spun around as the words 'Morphing Complete' came up, and then her helmet symbol glowed

​Freshly suited up, the Pink Ranger turned toward Ryutei. He stood nearby, arms folded tightly across his chest in a silent protest.

​"Hey, Ryutei?" Ayumi announced.

​"Hm?" He didn't fully uncross his arms, but he shifted his gaze toward her.

"I know you wanted to use the Typhon Megazord, but since you're already the Silver Space Ranger, you should join with us instead?" 

Ryutei raised an eyebrow. "Joined you in what?"

Kiba clamped his hands onto Ryutei's shoulders, pinning him with a grin. "You'll see. It's all part of the plan!"

Ryutei looked between the two with a baffled expression. "What?"

"Alright, time to call in the Mega Vehicles!" Cyrus declared, pressing a button on his Morpher.


Morphin Grid

Within the Grid, five machines began lighting up with energy.

"Mega V1, V2, V3, V4, V5, online!"

The lights showed the Mega Vehicles, which were all near each other - Mega V3 in the middle as it resembled a rocket. Mega V1 resembled an Astronaut's spacesuit, Mega V2 resembled a space shuttle, Mega V4 resembled a UFO, and Mega V5 resembled a lunar rover. 

A portal opens up in front of them as they roared to life and flew the vortex.


With moments, the Mega Vehicles all flew through the portal and hovered near the HPSC building.

"Here goes." Sora said, jumping into his Zord as the others followed soon after. "Alright, Mega V1, online!"

"Mega V2, all systems go!" Reina called out, punching her palm.

"Mega V3, ready to rocket!" Cyrus called out, nodding his head.

"Mega V4, full power!" Kiba called out with a double thumbs up.

"Mega V5, let's put these puppies to the test!" Ayumi called out, clapping her hands together.

"Here goes!" Sora said as he spotted a lever on his right, before pulling it up, and then twisted it. "Transform!"

He then fell back against his seat as his Mega Vehicle picked up speed.

Mega V1 then jumped off of Mega V3, which then split into three pieces - the rocket moving away, while the end split in half. The wheels on Mega V5 then retracted themselves so they got beneath it, and then its lasers did the same on top, before splitting in half. 

A head shape then came out of the back of Mega V2. Most of Mega V4 then split in half, except for the bottom end, and then both halves went down either side of itself, forming some arms. The rocket end of Mega V3 then shot through the center of Mega V4, before it stopped as they   locked together. The bottom parts of Mega V3 then landed on top of Mega V5, forming some legs.

Mega V4's arms then lowered themselves, as the rocket of Mega V3 shot away, and then the head came on top of Mega V4, and then its eyes lit up.

Go Power Rangers

Go Power Rangers

Go Power Rangers

Go, go, go, fly

Mega V1 then turned to the other Mega Vehicles.

Go Power Rangers

Sora was then shot up out of his cockpit.

Go Power Rangers

Go Power Rangers

Ah...

Mega V1 then moved towards the middle of the other Mega Vehicles, and then they all combined, forming the Mega Voyager - Mega V3's rocket being a weapon.

The Rangers then showed up in the cockpit - Reina and Kiba on the right while Cryus and Ayumi were on the left. - except it had the words 'Mega Voyager' in front of Sora.

The Mega Voyager then got ready for action.

It soon turned to Ryutei before beaming him within the cockpit, taking a hight seat behind Sora.

Taking a moment to look around at his surrounding, Ryutei looked back at the Rangers. "So, this was your plan?"

"Yup!" Kiba chirped with a grin.

"And it's about to get better!" Reina chimed in. "Deploy Wings!"

A pair of wings appeared in a burst of light, and then flew up into the air. The Mega Voyager then jumped up, and then it attached itself to the Mega Winger's wing, allowing it to fly through the air.

"Winged Mega Voyager!"

"We've got 8 seconds left!" Cyrus informed looking at the screen

"We've got 8 seconds left!" Cyrus informed looking at the screen.

"Got it!" Sora nodded, quickly pressing a button behind one of the levers. "Energize thrusters!" 

The thrusters from the Megazord's feet fired up, then it dashed towards the HPSC building. Soon, it reached the building and began pushing it higher in the sky.

"Let's do it, guys!" Sora said.


"What's this!?" The reporter questioned as the camera moved to follow the Mecha move towards the large ship. "It seems as if a giant machine is pushing the HPSC tower into the sky!" She announced.

All around the world, people were watching the live video coverage of Megazord getting the ship away from the planet. They watched as it pushed it out of the atmosphere and still kept going.


"GOOOO!" Sora hotly exclaimed.

"C'mon everyone we can and will stop this!" Ayumi exclaimed.

"We can do this! We can save Japan!" Reina exclaimed.

"This is our home! We have to protect it!" Cyrus chimed in agreement.

"Plus Ultra!" Kiba shouted.

Ryutei, who had his hands on the controls, watched as the Rangers were trying their hardest to push the fortress into the air too boosted by their desire to save their home. 

With a tight grip on the controls, he began pushing them forward with all the energy he could muster.

Soon he began to recall fond memories of his relationship with Lunetta. After 12 years of lingering pain guiding his choices, he's finally willing to make things right.

Eventually, their combined efforts of all the Rangers produced a bright blue pulsing energy that spread out into bluish white streaks.

"Let's give Alsatia  a gift she'll never forget!" Sora yelled.

"Right!" The Rangers bellowed in agreement.

With one final push, the floating fortress was sent hurling through space with a loud boom, now no longer endangering Earth.

3... 2... 1...

BOOM!

In that moment, the entire planet was witnessing an explosion so bright and loud that it lit up the night sky like the sun!


Meanwhile, as the shockwave tore through Alsatia's ship, violently shaking the structure and driving it back from Earth. The Heir to the Empire white-knuckled her throne. Enresh and Scrozzle scrambled for purchase against the vibrating floor.

​"What is happening!?" Ernesh barked, eyes darting to Scrozzle.

​"The Rangers! T-they threw HPSC headquarters right at us! It's shoving us out of the exosphere!"

​"WHAT!?" Ernesh's shout was cut short by a jagged crack. The two spun to see Alsatia; the expression on her face was one of fury as her grip shattered the throne's left armrest.

"How long?" Alsatia growled, the words scraping out of her throat. "How long until we reach Earth again?"

​The air in the room grew heavy. Scrozzle and Ernesh exchanged a look of pure dread; they had never seen the sorceress lose her cool like this.

​"F-five weeks, your grace! Roughly five weeks," Scrozzle managed to squeak out.

A slasher smile broke across Alsatia's face. "Then when we return, I will deal with the Rangers PERSONALLY."


The light lasted for several long minutes with no sign of ever dimming down before it gradually began to fade slowly. The sky returned to its previous state.

The Rangers erupted into cheers, celebrating their hard-won victory. Ayumi and Reina pulled each other into a celebratory hug while Cyrus and Kiba jumped for joy. Near them, Sora and Ryutei exchanged a handshake. 

"Yeah!" Sora and Reina cheered.

"Alright!" Cyrus whooped.

"Yes!" Ayumi cheered.

"We did it! WE DID IT!" Kiba exclaimed, throwing his fists in the air.

​Sadly, the celebration is cut short. Without warning, the shockwave destroyed parts of the Moon. The heroes recoil, shielding their eyes from the blinding debris.

​"OHHHHHHH!" Sora, Reina, and Cyrus winced, stumbling back.

​"AH!" Ayumi gasps, her hand flying to her mouth.

Ryutei looked dumbfounded as he froze.

Kiba, however, had a stupefied expression. "WHAT HAVE WE DONE!?"

"So, should we get out of here and get back to the Command Chamber?" Cyrus spoke up.

"Yeah/Yup/Without question." Were the various replies.

"Well alrighty then!"

With that, the Megazord proceeded to turn and head back to Earth. Inside the cockpit, Sora turned to the others, his voice soft. 

​"Guys, I'm really sorry for running off like that. I shouldn't have left you behind. The truth is... you're the best teammates a guy like me could ask for. And the best friends. Can you ever forgive me?"

​Reina stayed silent for a moment, her expression unreadable, before slowly raising a closed fist.

​"Rangers forever?"

Seeing this, Sora just smiled and placed his fist against hers.

With smiles of their own, Cyrus, Ayumi, and Kiba all joined in as well. 

​"Is... is this a thing? Because I'm not really a hug-- GAH!" Ryutei's protest was cut short as Ayumi and Kiba hauled him into the huddle.

"Ahh, get in here and feel the love!"

Ryutei sighed in annoyance, though a small smile tugged at his lips.


Later, the Rangers had arrived back at the Command Chamber, de-morphed, including Ryutei.

"Rangers.. I... I... there is no word to describe how proud I am of you." Katrina spoke, her voice full of emotion.

"The fact remains that even as you faced your greatest danger, with all the odds stacked against you, you carried on like true heroes and persevered."

Ryutei looked around the Command Chamber as he then let out an impressed huff.

"Gotta say, you guys got to have an awesome house."

​"W-Well thank you, Ryutei!" Alpha chirped, offering a handshake that Ryutei accepted. "I'm Alpha!"

​Ryutei couldn't help but smile. He didn't feel the same coldness he had with Scrozzle; Alpha's energy felt remarkably pure.

​"Nice to meet you, Alpha."

​"Wait," Ayumi interjected, her expression shifting. "Where's Nagant?"

"She is one of the rooms that I created that you needed to sleep here in case of emotional moments in your lives."

"Oh okay."

"Now then..." Katrina began, turning her attention to the Paladin Ranger. "I welcome our new Ranger."

The others turned to Ryutei, who walked up closer.

"So, I guess this is where you take back your Ranger Keys?" He assumed holding out his hands as all the Sixth Rangers keys hovered in them.

​"No, quite the contrary," Katrina said, her voice steady. "I'm asking if you will fight by our side. We can defend this world together."

​Ryutei recoiled as if struck. "After everything? After what I did to Red's mother? I helped my dad nearly leveled the planet, why would you even suggest that?" 

​"Because we need you, Ryutei. This is where you belong," she stepped closer, her expression softening. "I know you lost your family... but we can be your new one. If you'll have us."

Ryutei looked to each of them. Kiba smiled as he rubbed his nose. Ayumi folded her hands behind her back as she happily looked to him. Reina made a smug grin as she placed her hand on her hip. Alpha looked innocently as he stared at him. Cyrus smiled and nodded at Ryutei. 

Sora gave off a toothy grin and stepped up to him. "Will you join us, Ryutei?" He asked, holding his hand out.

Ryutei looked at it, and then shook it, with Cyrus putting a hand on the Paladin Ranger's shoulder.

Alpha and Katrina were watching the whole thing in joy.

"Oh, look, Katrina." Alpha said.

"Yes. We're watching history in the making, Alpha." Katrina said. "Finally, as is tradition. The sixth Ranger is now one of us."

"Hooray!" Alpha cheered.

Katrina's face then became serious. "Now, onto business. Let's talk with Nagant."

This got everyone's attention as they looked at her.


Nagant couldn't sit still. Two and a half hours had passed since Alpha left her there, and her worry for Ayumi had reached the breaking point. Then, the door slid open. Ayumi led the way in with the rest of the Rangers and Alpha trailing behind her as Katrina manifested in their midst.

 "Mariko, you're okay! So I take it that you and your friends succeeded." Nagant said with a quiet, but still somewhat concerned voice.

"Huh? Oh, uh - yeah," Ayumi shook her head, thrown off by the name.

"That's the name she called Ayu before." Sora muttered, looking at the blonde.

Cyrus nodded in agreement. "But why?"

"I don't know, but it's getting really confusing as hell!" Reina remarked, feeling annoyed.

"Tell me about it," Kiba agreed with Reina.

"How about we all focus on getting some answers from her, okay?" Ryutei demanded, reminding everyone in the room why they're here.

Everyone nodded in agreement before turning to Lady Nagant. "​Listen, Nagant," Sora spoke, his voice leaving no room for argument. "We're doing this for Ayumi and our mentor might have let you stay, but that doesn't mean you're off the hook. We have questions."

​Cyrus stepped forward, narrowing his eyes. "First: Who broke you out of Tartarus?"

​"Second," Kiba interjected, "what's your deal with Ayu? Why are you calling her Mariko?"  

​Reina crossed her arms. "Third: Doctor Arasaka said you're still the HPSC's lapdog. What did he mean by that?"

​Ryutei leaned against the wall, eyes fixed on the former hero. "Well? We're all waiting, Nagant."

Shame flickered in Nagant's eyes as she turned her head.

Seeing this, Ayumi stepped forward with a hand on her chest. "Back there, you were talking to me as if you knew me. But...I don't ever recall meeting you. Should I know who you are?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

Nagant let out a shuddering sigh. ​"No, you were only a baby back then..."

The Hero Force fell still. Ayumi stared, paralyzed. 

The former hero raised her head with a sad, but firm gaze. "But a mother never forgets."

​Shock rippled through the group. They looked from Nagant to Ayumi and back again, the truth hanging in the air. Ayumi could only gasp, as she felt the world suddenly shifting beneath her feet.

"W-W ... what?" 

That was Chapter 32! And at long last, the end of the Paladin Ranger arc! *flops on the floor* holy crap! What a ride this arc was!

Notes:

That was Chapter 32! And at long last, the end of the Paladin Ranger arc! *flops on the floor* holy crap! What a ride this arc was!

And the proper start of our new arc - as many of you can see, we've got quite a few things to get started with this arc, don't we?

But alas, we also have some seriousness, what with our setting up a few new plotlines in the next two arcs - essentially, we have ended 'Season Two Part 1' of Hero Force, we're at the point where the new intro and outro are on, giving us hints of the next arc.

And whew boy, are we in for some surprises! What with Tenya about to have his famous revenge quest, Ayumi's got a case of mommy issues to deal with, And, of course, we now have the biggest reveal of our lovely Lady Nagant, which will be answered ...

... well ... relatively soon, actually.

Thank you very much for reading. "Power Rangers: Heroes Force" will return with the 2nd half os Season 2. Please be sure to favorite and follow if you like the story, and also review it. If you have any questions or discussions you'd have for me, then please in a review or a PM my profile.

Thank you for reading, may God bless you, and have a wonderful day.

Personality (Part 1)

Ryutei was a brilliant, kind, humble, and thoughtful young man, deeply loved by his parents. He dreamed of taking his family's company to new heights through his groundbreaking invention of cyberware. Ryutei embodied the principle of Noblesse Oblige, always seeking to help others by providing jobs to the underprivileged and championing the belief that technology is the future. He detested anyone who preyed on the weak, including bullies, and was known to go to great lengths to defend the vulnerable, employing the martial arts training he had received to teach bullies a painful lesson. Despite his sometimes brutal approach, he remained kind-hearted and dedicated to aiding those in need—both through his family's company and through the advancement of technology.

However, after enduring an agonizing 12 years of cryosleep, Ryutei emerged a changed man. His heart was now filled with deep pain, rage, and grief over the loss of his parents. The trauma of their deaths left him feeling profoundly lonely in a world without his mother and father, as if he were a man out of time in a society that celebrated heroes. His resentment towards Meta-Humans grew, as they were the reason he lost everything—his parents, his company, and even the destruction of his best friend, Katrina, despite her still being alive but as an AI. Although he still desired to aid the weak, his hatred towards Meta-Humans intensified upon witnessing their mistreatment of the quirkless, who had existed in this world long before their emergence.

Part 2

Since awakening from his long slumber, Ryutei has developed an icy exterior and has become increasingly withdrawn, engaging only with Katrina. He harbors a growing disdain for both good and bad people, finding reminders of his painful past in both. He despises bad people for their arrogance, noting that their empathy, imagination, and kindness are as vacant as an empty parking lot. Conversely, he cannot tolerate good people either, viewing their tendency to forgive as misguided heroism. He believes that their self-sacrifice often leads to unnecessary deaths, fueling his disdain for those who willingly endanger their lives for others. This internal conflict is compounded by the fact that his parents were good people who sacrificed their lives to save his own. Ryutei views bad people as viruses corrupting the world, responsible for the loss of his loved ones and the downfall of his family's company. He firmly believes that the chaos and mayhem caused by malevolence has prevented true peace from existing since the dawn of humanity.​​​​​​​

However, as he collaborates with the rangers to protect Earth from Alsatia's forces, fragments of his original personality begin to resurface. He slowly learns to let go of his hatred towards Meta-Humans, merging elements of his former self with the colder persona he developed in the centuries of isolation. Although he remains neutral toward heroes, he understands the need to set aside his grudges and focus on the mission at hand. Ryutei is a fighter at heart and will not rest until he has safeguarded his world from Alsatia's threats. In the process, he hopes to accept this new reality and work toward rebuilding the family company he lost 12 years ago.

Chapter 96: Chapter 33 - Secret Pink Origins

Notes:

Hey guys! Here's a new chapter for you guys! Now we're easing into the Hero Killer Arc and Ayumi receives a revelation that she has no idea how to grasp and comes face to face with a certain yandere.

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

(HF Opening Intro 2 )


Suzuni Residence

Ayumi was dead to the world until her alarm clock jolted her awake, the radio cutting through the silence with a burst of static and news.

​"...crews are still clearing the last of the debris from the area where the HPSC headquarters once stood," the announcer's voice droned. "It's been nearly 2 days since the Power Rangers saved us all from annihilation, yet we're no closer to knowing where these villains are hiding—or when they'll strike next." ​

SMASH!

A heavy thud silenced the alarm as Ayumi's fist found the clock. She dragged herself out of bed and toward the bathroom, desperate for the sting of cold water to clear her head. Instead, she was pulled back into the memory—the moment her entire world fractured.


2 Days Ago...

Ayumi was in the throes of a full-blown panic attack. She paced the room like a caged animal while her friends scrambled to calm her. Nagant simply watched, her gaze steady.

​"You can't just say something like that! You're my mother?!" Ayumi choked on the words, struggling to pull air into her lungs. "Do you—do you even grasp how insane that sounds?! My real mom is Mako Suzuni!"

"And I'm grateful fo her, but I am telling the truth. I am your biological mother." Nagant told her.

"I ..." Ayumi managed to finally squeak out, her gaze flickering everywhere are her. After another moment, she let out a shuddering breath, and tried pulled at her hair. "How can I – how can I be your ... I – I don't understand."

The Hero Force moved as one, forming a wall in front of Ayumi. Ryutei joined them without hesitation, his newness to the team forgotten in the heat of the moment. ​

Reina stepped forward, eyes narrowed. " Okay, say if you are Ayumi's birth mother, where's your proof?"

​Nagant went quiet. She exhaled slowly, then reached into her chest pocket. She produced a single photo and held it out. Reina snatched it, but her bravado vanished instantly. She gasped, the rest of the team pressing in close to see the impossible evidence.

"This is...!"

"Is that...supposed to be Ayu?"

"But this baby has purple hair, Ayumi has natural blonde--"

"How is this possible?"

The picture was of Nagant at the age of 24 standing next to a blonde-haired man, and a beautiful baby girl with purple hair being held safely in Nagant's arms.

"I want to see it..." Ayumi said quietly, as the Hero Force turn around to face her.

"Ayumi... I don't think--" Alpha was then interrupted.

"Please! Let me see it."

With a sigh, Reina held out the photo, allowing the Pink Ranger to take it and look at it. However the more she looked at it, the more her eyes widened in shock. Suddenly, a stir of a faint memory went through her as her vision swirled. She saw flashes of two shadowed figures standing by a mobile, felt the phantom warmth of a purple-haired woman's touch.

Finally, she remembered having purple hair when she was younger and being bullied for it, only to have her "Mom" dye it.

As the memory ended, Ayumi staggered backwards and fell against a column. She ignored the noises she made and opened her eyes back at the floor.

​"Ayumi!" the Hero Force shouted in unison. Reina and Kiba were at her side in an instant, steadying her. "Are you okay!?"

"Ayumi!" Sora ran over to her, placing his hands on her shoulders. "What's wrong!?"

"I..." The already tight feeling in Ayumi's stomach squeeze even tighter. She let out a soft gasp, her gaze flickering back to Nagant, who looked at her in alarm and concern and for a few seconds, she stood there in silence.

And then, with a shaking breath, she removed herself from her friends, and started heading for the exit. "I just ..." She said in a quiet voice, shaking her head, "... I just need some time alone."

"Mariko?" Nagant stood up quickly from the table, a tinge of panic in her voice.

"KEEP HER AWAY FROM ME!" Ayumi shouted, startling everyone from the sudden outburst.

With that, she made her was out of the chamber without even looking back.

​"I'm going after her!" Sora declared.

​"I'm coming with you," Reina added, but before they could take a single step, Ryutei flickered into existence, blocking the doorway.

​"Hold it!"

​"Ryutei, get out of the way!" Sora shouted, recoiling slightly from the sudden appearance.

​"We have to let Ayumi go," Ryutei said, his voice unnervingly calm.

​Reina stepped forward, her face flushing with heat. "What? Are you serious? Why?"

​Ryutei looked away, his shoulders heavy. "I am... look, I know what she's going through. She just needs space to process this."

Sora looked like he wanted to say something but Cyrus stepped forward. 

Sora, I hate to say this but Ryutei's right. She just needs some time."

"I mean, she did get a huge bombshell dropped on her!" Kiba agreed.

"So what, you're all saying we should leave her!?" Reina yelled, but Katrina put a hand on her shoulder, which calms her down.

"Poor Ayumi..." Alpha said sadly. "I hope she'll be okay."

Nagant could only bury her face in her hands in devastation by Ayumi's reaction.

Present Day

Ayumi snapped back to the present and cranked the tap. She splashed her face three times; cold and shocking before killing the water. She stared into the mirror, her reflection pulled tight with tension.

​"Who are you?" she whispered. The question triggered something sharp and jagged inside her. Her fist collided with the glass, sending a web of cracks across her face. She slouched over the sink, her breath coming in ragged hitches until she forced her lungs to steady.

​"There's gotta be answers in his office..."

​An hour later, Ayumi crouched on the roof of her house, waiting for her so-called father to leave. Without a word, the Pink Ranger watched as her father walked toward his car, followed closely by his assistant, Naomi.

​"Anything else?" Shiro asked.

​"You have an interview first thing tomorrow," Naomi replied. Shiro sighed, his shoulders sagging for a brief moment.

​"Fine. Thank you, Naomi."

​Naomi hesitated, the words catching in her throat as she searched for the strength to speak her mind. "Dinner?" she finally asked.

​The question made Shiro freeze. He began to tremble. "With Ayumi, sir," she added softly.

​From her vantage point, Ayumi watched intently. Her father took several jagged, deep breaths to steady his shaking hands.

​"No, I... I have work to do."

​"Shiro, please," Naomi pressed. "The girl needs her father."

​"And I'd appreciate it if you minded your own business!" Shiro snapped, before immediately recoiling. He took another deep breath, his tone softening with regret. "I'm sorry... I'll see you and Ayumi tonight."

​Shiro pulled out of the driveway, leaving Naomi grunting in frustration on the pavement. As soon as Naomi retreated into the house, the coast was clear.

"Now's my chance," Ayumi whispered.

​Channeling the Navy Thunder Ranger powers, she scaled the wall with predatory grace, slipping toward the office window. She pried it open—just a crack—before blurring into motion. Her enhanced speed made the sweeping laser detectors look like they were standing still. Reaching the console, she tapped a few keys, and the red glow of the security grid vanished.

​"Okay, 'Dad'..." she murmured, her eyes reflecting the glow of the monitor. "Let's see what you and Mom have been hiding."

After a while, Ayumi searched the drawers within her father's desk, seeing nothing but paperwork and others things inside. That is, until she came across one with a hidden compartment. "Huh?"

Wondering if this might give her a clue, she opened it up and saw a document folder inside, and on the name tag, it had her name on it reading through some of them that drew his attention.

"What's this?" Ayumi asked, pulling it out and examining it. "It has my name on it. These must be hospital records. But why would Dad need to..."

Finally, curiosity gave in, and she opened it up. She privately examined the contents of it, with her eyes scanning each page.

Suddenly, Ayumi paused on one sheet, looked through it again, and then she gasped in shock. "No... No, this can't be..." She muttered as her pupils shrunk, petrified.

​"Young Miss!?" Naomi's voice cracked through the silence of the doorway, jolting Ayumi out of her shock

​"Young Miss!?" Naomi's voice cracked through the silence of the doorway, jolting Ayumi out of her shock. "What are you doing in your father's study?"

​Naomi stepped into the room, her eyes darting toward the security panel. "How did you even get in here? I saw your father activate the laser detectors myself before he left."

​Ayumi didn't answer. She didn't even move. ​

"Young lady, I am talking to you," Naomi pressed, planting her hands on her hips. "Ayumi Suzuni—"

​"Was I sick?"

​The sudden weight of the question stopped Naomi mid-sentence. Confusion flickered across her face until her gaze dropped to the folders in Ayumi's trembling hands. The color drained from her cheeks.

​"N-no," Naomi stammered. "You were not."

​"Then... who am I?"

​"What kind of question is that? You are Ayumi Suzuni," Naomi replied, her voice thinning.

​Ayumi finally turned her head, her eyes burning into Naomi's. "Who am I more than that? You were with Dad when he brought me home, weren't you?" Her hands shook, the documents crinkling in her grip.

"Yes... yes... I was..."

After hearing this, Ayumi shook her head, unable to speak. When she did find it, she whipped around to her father's assoicate. "Why didn't anyone tell me?" she asked angrily, "Why couldn't any of you tell I wasn't really their daughter?"

"Please, you must understand..." Naomi started.

"No I don't understand!" Ayumi shouted, "All this time, I thought I was a part of this family! I thought my parents were my actual parents! But all this time, it was really a lie?!"

"We never meant to lie." Naomi responded, "You were so young, and we decided to take care of you, preventing you or anyone else to know the truth. Your parents were going to tell you the truth when you grew up. But then your mother got sick and... and.. she was gone, we felt it was too late to tell you. But we've never thought you'll found it out like this... Who told you!?"

"Does it matter!?" Ayumi asked sternly. "Just tell me!"

Naomi took a long, steadying breath before finally meeting her eyes. "Okay... I'll tell you. Fifteen years ago, there was a knock on the front door."


Flashback

​Fifteen years ago...

​The moonlight filtered through the office window, casting long, pale shadows across the papers strewn over Shido's desk. It had been an exhausting day for him and especially his wife, Mako. He sighed, pulling off his reading glasses to rub the bridge of his nose, the fatigue settling deep in his bones.

​KNOCK. KNOCK. KNOCK.

​Shido jerked upright, his pulse spiking at the sudden intrusion. "What the—?"

​"I'll get it!" Naomi's voice echoed from the hall. 

​She reached for the handle, but stopped short. Through the heavy wood of the door came a thin, piercing wail; the unmistakable cry of an infant. Startled, she threw the door open.

There, nestled on the porch in a bundle of white cloth, was a baby girl. Tufts of pale purple hair dusted her head, and a silver chain clasping a shimmering white gem rested against her chest. The child was crying hysterically, her tiny face flushed.​Naomi froze, her heart hammering. She looked around, searching for a retreating figure or a lingering shadow, but there was nothing.

"​Who would just leave her?" Naomi thought, leaning down to gathered the small, trembling weight into her arms. The girl couldn't have been more than a month old.

"There, there... it's okay. You're okay," Naomi murmured, instinctively cradling the infant against her shoulder to soothe the screams.

​"Naomi? What is it?" Two sets of footsteps came down the stairs, revealing to be Mako and Shiro. "We heard knocking—" Both stopped dead at the bottom step, Shiro's face pale. "What... Naomi, who is that?"

​"I don't know," she whispered, her voice shaking as she looked down at the bundle. "I opened the door, and she was just... there."

"You cannot be serious!" Shiro barked. "Who would dropped off a child!"

"Would I lie about something like this?" Naomi asked. "The security system would have shown what happened."

"Indeed, we shoul-- Mako?" Shiro said, as he and Naomi noticed that she wasn't even paying attention to them, only the baby. 

Her eyes lighting up, she moved closer. "Your poor thing! Oh, don't cry!" She cooed, taking the baby into her arms to rock.

Shiro paused, looking to the child, thinking on his assistant's words.

Seeing this, Naomi asked, "Well...what do you think we should do? We can't just leave the poor thing out here." She looked down at the baby. "Besides, didn't you and the madam say you wanted to have a daughter in the family as well? Maybe this is your chance."

"I don't know..." Shiro sounded unsure, "This is not natural! Besides, even if we take her in, she would not be truly part of our family! And who knows what she will be like when she grows up!"

"Then let's keep it a secret." Mako cut in. "We can raise her as one of our own. I have some connections so we can get the birth certificate and adoption papers. We can even keep them out of public eyes and delete the recording on our security system. We will raise her as part of the family, and as normal as you would like it."

"But..."

"For so many years, we've prayed to God to bless us with a child. Even if she's not truly ours, this could be a blessing in disguise." 

Shiro looked very concerned, but felt like he had no choice. Any other path could cause a commotion. For now, he had to trust his wife and assistant/old friend. Besides, Mako was correct about wanting a child. He had to make sure she lived a normal, but very successful life, far from the type of life she was going to be born in. With that mental debate out of the way, he nodded in confirmation.

Naomi took the necklace around the baby's neck and looked at it. The gem pendant was white-stained glass with silver frames, and brown stitching tying the piece together. Looking at the child, she noticed she calmed down and fell asleep in Mako's arms, "So precious."

"I suppose." Shiro responded. "Be sure to toss out that pendant when you can." He turned to leave as Mako carried the baby into the house,  leaving Naomi alone. She paused as she looked at the pendant, then pocketed it, deciding to hold onto it, closing the door behind her.

Flashback ends

XXXXXXXXXXX

"...This is the truth." Naomi ended. "I won't lie anymore." 

 Ayumi looked startled by the story before speaking. "So... what happened to the pendant?" The Pink Ranger asked. 

Naomi paused, then she reached into her pocket and pulled out the same pendant, dangling its chain as she showed her. "I was about to throw it away, but your mother stopped me, and then she said that you have the right to know where you really came from."

Ayumi walked over and took the gem pendant in her hands, examining it. She turned away from Naomi, looking to the window as she held up the pendant to eye level.

"So, it's true." Ayumi uttered, looking at the window. "I can't believe it. I'm not even from this family. I never knew I felt out of place until now." She lowered the pendant and turned to a picture of her and her now adopted family. "Mom, Dad...even those names sound fake now." she stated, "I'm not sure if I was really part of the family. You guys, my grandparents..."

She looked back at Naomi, eyes hard. "Was I actually part of this family?"

​"Ayumi—" Naomi started, but the name died in her throat as Ayumi cut her off.​

"You lied to me," Ayumi snapped. "Every single day."

"No, I..."

"Don't! Please... don't..." 

And then, with a shaky breath, Ayumi faced the window, opened it, and started to climb on the window sill.

"Young Miss!?" Naomi moved over towards her, a tinge of panic in her voice.

"I just ..." Ayumi said in a quiet voice, shaking her head. "... I just need some time alone."

Ayumi leapt from the window without a second thought. Naomi rushed to the frame, peering through where the Pink Ranger had been just seconds before. There was nothing but cloudy air.

​"Ayumi! AYUMI!!!'"

Now outside in the warm spring air, Ayumi let out another sigh as she stood there for a moment, her gaze flickering down towards her Morpher as though tempted to call her friends – but then she shook her head and moved to walk down the street. She'd love to get their thoughts and opinions on this, but – but she knew that her mind was moving a mile a minute, straining to grasp everything that was just told to her in the last ten minutes, and she needed time to get her thoughts organized and to calm down.

Unknown to her, a head of pale, ash-blonde color and styled into two messy buns peeked out from a hidden position as a pair of yellow eyes stared after Ayumi.

"I finally found you, Power Rangers..." Came a feminine voice full of glee before the figure moved to follow the Pink Ranger


As the minutes ticked by with no sign of Ayumi, the Rangers' patience evaporated. Unable to sit still any longer, they fanned out in teams to find their lost Pink Ranger.​

"Kat, Alpha," Sora asked into his morpher. "Please tell me you've got a lock on her signal."

"Sorry, but we've got nothing. It seems like she turned off her communicator."

"Aye-yi-yi-yi-yi I hope she's okay!" Came Alpha's voice.

Sora let out a heavy sigh, muttering a dry, "Right." Beside him, Reina grunted in frustration and lashed out, sending a stray can clattering across the street.​

"Damnit! She's gotta be around her somewhere!" 

"Hold on, Rei." Sora told her. "Anger will only lead to bad judgement." Reina tried to calm herself down, but she was just too worried about her.

"Man. Poor Ayu..." Kiba muttered lowly.

​"I've never seen her so disappointed in her life." Cyrus pointed out.

Ryutei stepped forward with his arms crossed. "Well, that's to be expected." He said, looking at his fellow Rangers. "Finding out your mom is a former villain/hero would shock anyone."

"Wait. What if she's going to U.A. so she could see Eri!?" Kiba added, getting everyone's attention. "I mean, we could ask Principal Nezu or any of the teachers if they've seen Ayu anywhere on school grounds."

"Not to mention she was worried about leaving the little Tater Tot." Reina chimed in.

"Good point. I'll call right now." Sora said, as he began touching his Morpher.

Ryutei looked between the team. "Question, who's Eri?" He questioned with a raised eyebrow.

Suddenly, a holographic projection of Principal Nezu appeared above the Red Ranger's Morpher as he smiled brightly at them.

"Rangers, what a surprise! I hope you all are well from your battle." Nezu chirped in joy.

"She got a serious bombshell dropped on her and she just took off." Kiba added. "Have you seen her?"

Nezu hummed, as began to think before shaking his head. "No, I'm afraid Ayumi Suzuni hasn't shown up on schoolgrounds."

"Seriously?"

"No, even the little one has been asking for you and especially her."

"Huh?"

"Well, Little Eri has been wanting to see you. Oh, little one! There you are."

As he said this, Eri's face moved in front of the projection. "Hello?" Her voice came through.

Kiba, Reina and Cyrus all crowded Sora to see Eri.

"Eri!" The Rangers all said, as Ryutei looked at the little girl who was waving at them shyly. Ryutei blinked, caught off-guard by how small she was.

"That's Eri?"

The little girl's eyes lit up at the team, especially Sora. "E-Everyone...!"

"Hi Peanut, I'm sorry we haven't seen you sooner. We've been so busy." Sora told her as he rubbed his head.

Eri then shakes her head, as she looks up at Sora and the others. "N-no, it's okay. I know you all were busy."

"So precious..." the Rangers, minus Ryutei, all thought to themselves, as Eri then began to notice Ryutei and gasped at the mere resemblance he has to Sora.

"Sora, who is that? And why does he look like you?"

Sora blinked, clearly caught off-guard by the question. His hand instinctively went to the back of his neck as he gave a sheepish little laugh.

"Ah... well... that's kind of a long story, Peanut. Anyway, have you been a good girl would I was gone?" 

"Umm huh!" Eri nodded. "Mr. Mouse and Ms. Lizard were kind to me the whole time." She said to him.

"Mr. Mouse? Mr. Lizard?" Reina questioned in confusion.

"I think she meant Nezu and Solon." Cyrus replied

"I already told you, young Eri that I'm not a mouse." Nezu responded.

"Then what are you?" Kiba asked in curiosity as he didn't know what the principal was.

"I am the Principal, of course!" Nezu said with pride.

"Haha, this guy's a riot!"

The other Rangers all had a sweat drop on their heads to that answer.

"That doesn't really answer the question..." Ryutei muttered.

Eri then she looked around her colorful caretakers and found no Pink Ranger. "W-where's Ayumi?"

Sora paused at this before speaking. "She's...out right now. But we're going to go get her."

Then Kiba stepped in. "And once we've found her, Baby Girl! Ooh boy, we're gonna order some pizza and watch some of the best Disney movies of all time, just you wait!"

Eri look at Kiba with wide, sparkling eyes before nodding and saying, "Ok!"

"See you later, Peanut." Sora told her before ending the call. 

"Well, that was worth a try." Cyrus spoke up.

"So, what's the plan now?" Ryutei asked out loud.

"She might be home or in town." Reina chimed in, folding her arms. "There's only a few places she could be."

"Okay!" Sora stated, turning to the group. "Let's split up and look for her. Cy and Kiba, you guys check the park. Rei, you got the Juice Bar. Ryutei, you and I will check the town square." The team nodded in response and took two different directions; Sora, Ryutei, and Reina took one way, while Cyrus and Kiba took another.


Meanwhile, Ayumi made her way down the quiet street, her mind a blur of recent events. Her pace slowed when a sudden burst of laughter echoed from across the way. Turning her head, she saw them: a little girl, swinging her arms between her mother and father, their faces bright with an effortless, everyday joy. ​The sight hit Ayumi like she was slapped on the face.

'My parents ... are my parents, but not really my parents. Kaina Tsutsumi ... Lady Nagant ... is my bio mom.'

Kaina ... to her, she was a stranger. But recalling her moment with the sharpshooter ... Ayumi couldn't help but feel her heart thumping uncomfortably in her chest.

'Lady Nagant is my mom ...'

There was a pause.

"Not that it mattered," Ayumi muttered in a small, defeated voice,  "She didn't want to be my mom, so she left me in someone else's care. That's -"

She hated that tears began to spill from her eyes at the thought, sniffling as she bowed her head and sat there. Everything that she knew – everything – had been changed in the span of about ten minutes. 

""I said, get away from me!"

Ayumi stopped immediately in his tracks when she heard a voice, coming from the alleyway to the right ahead of her. As she walked forward to the alley and took a peek, she found five men cornering a girl who looked around her age. She wasn't able to see her face, but she could notice one of the men had her right arm and had her pinned against the wall.

"Come on, baby. We just wanna have some fun." The first man who wore some piercings on his face sneered as he leaned threateningly closer to her. The girl tried to hit him with her left hand, but he caught it and pinned it to the wall.

"Oh, so you wanna play rough?" A bald man walked up to her. "Fine. We prefer it rough." He then grabbed one of her breasts. The girl started to kick and scream, but the hooligan used his hand to cover her mouth.

Ayumi went shocked at first, before her face twisted in disgust and anger. These guys were going to rape that girl. Without a second thought, she moved into action.

"Hiya!"

Ayumi jumped into the fray and kicked the leader square in the back , sending him crashing face-first into the pavement. The alley went silent. Ayumi landed on her feet gracefully in front of the girl, looking at the others.

"Leave her alone." The Pink Ranger spoke coldly. 

The second thug who wore a beanie hat raised his eyebrow.  "Well, well. What do we have here?" 

The third thugs looked her up and down in a perverted way. "No idea, but this one's got quite the body."

"Why don't you get lost, kid?" The fourth thug said in a dangerous tone. "This doesn't concern you."

"Maybe not..." Ayumi replied, glaring at the towering man. "But I'm not going to stand by while you jerk gang up one girl."

A smug grew on the man's face. He looked back at his friends who were grinning in amusement, while the other girl could only stare about the blonde girl in shock and concern. The man with the beanie hat looked back at Ayumi. "Look, kid, it's nice for you to play the Hero, but this is real life. He then reached out to her. "But if you don't want to get hurt then-"

Ayumi didn't let him finish, as she stepped forward. The motion was casual. Almost lazy. Then she vanished. 

 A blur crossed the space between them, and the first thug barely had time to widen his eyes before her fist slammed into his stomach. The air exploded out of his lungs as he folded forward. The alley echoed with the dull thud of a body hitting pavement, while the rest of his gang froze. 

 Ayumi straightened slowly, shaking her hand once like she'd just swatted an annoying insect. Her eyes lifted to the remaining men. Calm. Unbothered. "Anyone else want to laugh?" she asked quietly.

They were stunned by the girl's abilities, before they looked toward her with hostility and decided to stop playing around. The bald man grabbed a broken piece of plank with some rusted nails, and the pierced man grabbed a pipe. 

"So you really wanna play the Hero, huh?" The man with the beanie hat sneered. "Okay, we'll be the villains!"

Seeing their intent, Ayumi looked back at the girl. "Stay behind me, okay?" She told her.

"O-okay." The girl only nodded and went behind the Pink Ranger.

With that, Ayumi got into a fighting stance before some unexcepted happened.

An ash-blonde-haired teenage girl with a knife suddenly appeared from another corner and threw her knife at the pierced man which breaks upon impact from his pipe. This made everyone stop moving and looked at the teenager with bewildered expressions as they did not accept this, as the teenage girl down at her broken knife with disappointment.

"Aww man and that was one of my favor knives too," She complained with a pouting expression.

"Huh?" Ayumi cried out in both shock and confusion at the appearance of the unknown girl. "Who's that?"

Then before anything thing else was done the pierced man immediately attacked Himiko with his plank. "You damn bitch!"

"Look out!" Ayumi cried out to help the girl.

The unknown saw this attack coming before jumping over the man with incredible acrobatic skills, reflexes, and agility like a professional gymnast which surprised the Pink Ranger. Then while in mid-air, she revealed three smaller knives in her left and swiftly throws them at the man's arm with perfect accuracy as they embedded deep into his arm.

"ARGH!" He cried out in agony before the girl landed in front of him with a roundhouse kick, knocking him out cold.

Seeing this, the bald man looked shocked before charging at the girl with his raised plank.

However, Ayumi arrived just in time to lay him out with a single dropkick, sending him flyin back a few feet and knocking him out.

Once the fight was over, she made her way back over to other girl that she was protecting. 

"You okay?" The Pink Ranger asked, which made the girl nod in response, making Ayumi smile a bit. "Good, now go home where it's safe."

The girl runs off, leaving the two other girls alone in the alley. "Um, thanks for th-" She began to speak as she turned around and stopped. 

 She hadn't realized how close the stranger had stepped.

For a moment the alley feels smaller somehow, the dim light catching in the other girl's eyes. Ayumi straightens a little, instinctively wary, though not hostile.

"You know you're really cute." Himiko said in a cooed voice. "But you know what, I think you would look even cuter covered in blood." She said with a creepy grin that freaked the Pink Ranger out a bit.

"What?!" Ayumi said in a panicked tone, at the girl who was looking at her with an ecstasy look on her face.

The girl's smile twitched as she stared at the Pink Ranger before getting closer to her which made Ayumi back up from her.

To Be Continued...

Notes:

And that was Chapter 33! And whew boy, did *this* chapter come a lot later than I was thinking it would! Sorry if you guys needed a bit of breathing room from last chapter, because ... uh ... I'm kind of crazy and we don't do that here XD

In any case, we got a bit more story, didn't we? Ayumi learned the shocking truth, and has now come into contact with a certain knife wielding girl.

Now, as for Ayumi's ... 'feelings' for Nagant. I definitely wanted to portray it as her not knowing *what* to feel for her other mom. It's definitely going to be a driving plot for Ayumi from here and a big part of her development - and I hope you guys are ready for all the drama and angst I have in store for this poor girl. XD

Thank you very much for reading. "Power Rangers: Heroes Force" will return with the 2nd half os Season 2. Please be sure to favorite and follow if you like the story, and also review it. If you have any questions or discussions you'd have for me, then please in a review or a PM my profile.

Chapter Text

 

(HF Opening Intro 2)


The team started racing along the streets, searching for clues as to where Ayumi went to. They asked around, but so far, they got nothing. They checked the park, Maddie's Juice Bar, the mall, even the city square. Nothing. No one had seen her, and no one knew where she went.

A while later, they all met back at the spot where they had split up. Sora was the first to speak, his voice tight with worry.

"Any... thing?"

The silence that followed was heavy. Each of them shook their head, unease settling over the group like a shadow.

Kiba kicked at a loose stone on the pavement. "Nada. She wasn't even in the Juice Bar."

Reina ran a hand through her hair, frustration bubbling over. "Damnit!"

Sora swallowed hard, his eyes scanning the streets as if Ayumi might suddenly appear from around a corner. Ryutei then realize something, as he looked at Sora.

"Sora, I don't know if i'm right, but maybe she might have gone to see your mom and could have had trouble on the way there."

"My mom?"

"I mean.." Ryutei stopped himself before breathing in and out. "After.. what I did, I notice that how she was looking at your mom, I could see that she saw her as a mother figure. I'm guessing that something happened to her, right?:

Reina caught the look on Sora's face and paused. "Sora... you have checked in on your mom, right?"

​Sora's gaze dropped, his expression shifting into something tight and uneasy. Ryutei let out a long, knowing sigh as the realization hit him.

"Sora..." Reina's voice softened, the frustration draining out of it as quickly as it had come. Kiba reached out, resting a hand on his shoulder. He felt tense — like a bowstring pulled too tight.

"I was going to," Sora muttered, eyes fixed on the floor. "I just... On everything that was happening with Ayumi.. I.."

"We get it." Cyrus reassured him. "Why don't you go see her? We'll continue to look for Ayumi."

"Are you guys.. sure?" Sora asked, as Kiba makes a thumbs up.

"Dude, we're sure. So go and see Miss S."

Sora looked away for a moment before sighing lightly. "Okay."

He pressed a button on his Morpher, and his Valiant Cycle shimmered back into existence. He swung a leg over the seat, but before revving the engine, he paused to look back at his friends.

​"Call me if anything happens."

"Will do."

Sora offered a faint smile before pulling away, the remaining Rangers watching in silence until his taillights faded toward the hospital.

​"I really hope Ayumi hasn't managed to get herself into trouble," Cyrus said, breaking the quiet.

​Kiba scoffed, leaning back. "Give me a break. This is Ayumi we're talking about."


The girl's smile twitched as she stared at the Pink Ranger before getting closer to him which made Ayumi back up from her.

"Is she a villain or something because I done have time to deal with one right now?" Ayumi thought as she had her guard up around her, but she then went into a dead sprint towards her to restrain her.

The ash-blonde girl in response leaned forward at Ayumi to stab her knife into the Pink Ranger, only for her target to catch her by the arm and hold her still as Himiko struggled to break her tight grip. Ayumi then uses a judo throw to swiftly send the girl to the ground on her back, before using her free hand to quickly grab the girl's wrist and twist it to make her drop her knife on the floor.

The next thing Himiko knew she was being placed in a submission hold by her target, with her looking into the Ranger's purple eyes as she had a serious expression on her face.

"You... You..." The girl said with a relaxed smile crossed her face, despite the situation. "Heh, guess I always was a bad girl after all, huh? And now the devil's come to drag me to hell for it." The smile turned resigned. "Please be gentle with me, Ms. Pink Ranger?"

Ayumi faltered. "W-What...?" She'd been half-expecting her to be some crazed stalker or criminal and start fighting back, or at least try to bite her. "What are you talking about?" She asked.

"Just noticing how cute you really are up close." The girl cooed. "Violet eyes, like looking at amethyst."

Taken aback by the compliment, Ayumi shook her head to focus. "You know, stabbing random people is a crime."

"Oh, but I wanted to meet you so badly!" She said with a giggle, and her body started to become grey and gooey.

"Meet me?" Ayumi questioned, locking her eyes with her yellow cat-like eyes while also keeping up her guard in case she may attack her again. "How come?"

"Because you're one of those Power Rangers! A bunch of Quirkless guys running around!" The girl said to her in joy. "Ranger Pink is such a cute name, even if it is not red! I want to know your real one though, I want to know all about you." She said, getting more obsessed by the second.

"Um... Well, why don't we get rid of this other knife and we can talk?" Ayumi suggested while noticing the weapon tied to the crazy girl's thigh.

"But I want to taste you!" The girl laughed while revealing the knife.

Ayumi then immediately used Teleknesis (Karone - Galaxy Pink II) and to move the knife on the floor. "Okay, now we can talk." She said, kicking the knife in the distance and away from her.

"You're so mean." The girl pouted, before looking up at the hand in surprise for a few seconds before grabbing it as she was lifted off the ground and onto her feet with ease.

"Awww, you do care~" She cooed in happiness.

"Are you okay?" Ayumi asked.

"I'm fine now!" The ash-blonde chimed as she found that hard to believe. "I'm Himiko Toga!"

"I'm Ayu -" Ayumi began before pausing with a conflicted expression.

"Hmm?" Himiko blinked with confusion. Ayumi just closes her eyes and sighes, before facing her again.

"S-Sorry. I just... Look, I just had a really long day today and I... honestly don't know what to call myself anymore... or who I am actually."

"Then, I'll just call u Pinky."

Ayumi stared at Himiko, her expression frozen as if she had two heads. Then, the Pink Ranger let out a soft chuckle and said.

"You know, for someone who wanted to taste my blood, you sure know how to lighten the mood."

"How do you know?" Himiko said with a bit of hostility in her voice.

"You teeth," Ayumi said while pointing out. "Also, you said taste me, so blood must have something to do with your quirk, right?" She explained.

"... You offering?" Himiko tilted her head, getting a nod from her. "Do you want a sexual favor or something afterwords..."..." She asked, making Ayumi's eyes widen as she blushed from the thouAyumi waved her hands frantically, her face turning bright red.

 "No, no! I just... there is someone I lov-- I mean care about, and I'm not looking for... that kind of thing!"

Himiko let out a small laugh, clearly amused by Ayumi's flustered reaction. "Relax, you goof, I'm just joking. Man, get your mind of the gutter. Though... my quirk... everyone says it's evil, so I have to be 'normal'" the girl replied.

"WHAT?" Ayumi yelled out as she stared at her with widened eyes. "There's no such thing as an 'evil quirk'! I mean, there are some that can be used for evil easier than others, but EVERY quirk has that potential! That's crazy! The only thing crazier than that is saying you're automatically evil because of it!" She quickly got off her with her sitting up as well. "What kind of person told you that?!" She knew that something was wrong with their society with how bad discrimination as if they made a young girl like her suffer over having a certain quirk.

Ayumi then offered her right arm before rolling up his shelves, as Himiko took it and bit down hard on Ayumi's right arm, making her flinch from the sharp pain a bit as the girl started sucking out her blood like she hasn't had water in days. Soon after a minute passed Himiko had her fill on Ayumi's blood and released her arm in exhaled, with her eyes more focused and less glossy than before.

"Feel better now?" Ayumi asked with a smile, as Himiko looked at her arm and took out a pink handkerchief, and started wrapping around the bite wound.

"Sorry," Himiko mumbled an apology. "I really needed that." She said surprising Ayumi at how different she acted, she sounded so... calm.

"It's alright," the Pink Ranger assured her with a smile. "No worries."

Himiko looked at her for a moment, as her gaze was analytic.

"You... really aren't like other heroes." Himiko mumbled before pulling up Ayumi's shirt sleeve.

"So... why did you look for me?" Ayumi asked her in curiosity.

"Well... I saw the broadcast about you and your friends yesterday. Ever since you all appeared when I learned you're Quirkless. So, I wanted to see what you all were like in person. Was it only for the cameras, or are you guys actually like this?" Himiko confessed while looking at the floor.

"No, that wasn't for the camera. My friends and I really are Quirkless; we just wanted to help people, that's all."

​"Then what do you know about society anyway!?" Himiko's voice cracked with a jagged edge. She surged forward, her shadow falling over Ayumi. "Why do you even bother helping people? All they do is stand back and watch—like they're at the damn theater watching a movie!"

​Ayumi retreated until her back hit the wall, but she didn't look away. "If that's how you feel," she began, her voice a sharp contrast to Himiko's rage, "then why did you step in? Why did you try to save me?"

Ayumi's question hangs in the air, quiet but sharp enough to cut through Himiko's anger.

Himiko stops mid-step. For a second, it looks like she's going to snap back immediately, her jaw tightens, her fingers curl but no words come out. Just a frustrated breath.

"...That's different," she mutters, though it doesn't sound convincing even to herself.

Ayumi doesn't move this time. She steadies herself, even though her voice stays soft.

"How?"

Himiko's eyes flick away, searching for something; an excuse, a reason, anything.

"You were in danger," she says finally. "Anyone would've done the same."

Ayumi tilts her head slightly as she took in Himiko's expression, seeing rage, hatred, and sadness all swirling up inside. Clenching her fist, she walked up to the girl. "Himiko?"

Said girl brought her eyes back to the Pink Ranger.

"I'd like to check something. Is that okay?"

Himiko arched an eyebrow, her gaze sweeping over the Pink Ranger with blatant skepticism.​ "And how, exactly, are you going to do that?"

​Ayumi opened her mouth to answer, then hesitated. The words she was going to say felt ridiculous even in her own head. How do you explain the impossible to someone who wants a straight answer?

​"It's... a little complicated," Ayumi admitted, her shoulders dropping slightly. "But I need you to trust me on this. Please. Can you do that for me?"

Ayumi then raises her hand towards Himiko's forehead, but the girl grabs the hand.

"Woah! What are you doing?"

The moment their hands touched, a sudden cold spark of power ignited. Amelia Jones' telepathy tore through the mental barrier. Before Ayumi could pull away, she was forced to witness the girl's past...


Himiko Toga was born in her family as the oldest daughter out of her siblings. At a very young age, she found a deceased bird covered in blood. Finding the dead animal both pretty and cute, she could not help herself but drink its blood. Later, wanting to share her joy with her parents and make them happy, she presented the dead bird to them with a bloody smile. Her parents were upset with her twisted nature. Worried about how society would view their daughter and how that would reflect on them as parents, the two subjected Himiko to Quirk Reformation where she was forced to suppress her natural instincts and not develop her Quirk.

Since Himiko's admiration of blood was caused by her Quirk and a natural part of who she was, this only caused her instincts to grow. In middle school, she was considered to be a very bright and friendly girl by her classmates and teachers until she was found drinking the blood of a boy named Saito that she fell "in love" with. Everyone looked at her with nothing but horror and disgust and as a result, she ran away from her middle school graduation.

Since then, she has been on the constant run from the law and became a suspect of a series of serial blood loss cases. Her parents also publicly cut all ties with their daughter after the incident, claiming that she was always a lost cause and branded her as a "creepy demon child", trying to deflect blame on their parenting by claiming that she was just born bad.


After seeing the memories, Ayumi quickly yanked her hand back with a look of complete horror on her face. 'She's hurting...'

Himiko looked at her in confusion. "What?"

Ayumi's expression softened, sorrowful compassion replacing the shock. She stepped forward and wrapped Himiko in a gentle hug. "I'm so sorry you had to go through that," she whispered. "Your parents could have helped you with your Quirk, but they didn't. It's their fault, not yours."

Himiko froze at this. "H-How did you...?"

"You want to know what to do... then live, show the ones who hurt you that they can't touch you anymore, that they don't control your actions. Leave them behind, let them live their lives, and let karma do its job and take them to justice." Ayumi said as she started to remember how her..."father" neglected her and everyone else who bullied her just for being quirkless until Sora and the others showed up in her life and changed all that. "That's why I want to save people who are suffering like I was. That's why I want to help you now, because what kind of hero- no, what kind of PERSON would I be if I just stood by and let you suffer? You're not a monster, you're a human being who deserves better than what you were given, so please Himiko, let me save you from your despair and become your final hope." She said with great determination, hoping it would be enough to get through to the girl.

"I..." Toga gaped in shock, her eyes overflowing with emotions. "Y-You don't..." Her eyes began to brim with tears as she wrapped her arms around the Pink Ranger. "Help me..." Himiko whimpered before collapsing onto her knees with Ayumi kneeling down with her.

"It's okay, just let it out." Ayumi whispered to her.

"... Am I a bad person?" Himiko asked in a scared tone.

"No, you're just a girl who had the world against her," Ayumi responded before letting go of her as she looked at her.

"But I hurt people." Himiko said in a regretful tone.

"Because your quirk needs blood and no one did anything to help you when you needed it the most." Ayumi countered back. "You need it to be sane. You were trying to cut me up for my blood, but now look at you. You don't feel the need to do that anymore, do you?"

Himiko looked at her with teary eyes and clenched her hands into fists. "What do I do..." She asked her in a whisper. "I don't know what to do now..."

"We get you help. I might know someone who could help you with this, but you need to not just trust me, but also heroes," Ayumi said with a warm smile while getting up and saw her scrunch her nose.

"I don't trust heroes." Himiko said with a frown.

"Then trust me; I want to help you but you have to trust me and others. And if my friends were here, they would do the same for you as well." Ayumi said holding out her hand to her.

Himiko looked at her for a moment before sighing and grabbing her hand.

"Fine, I trust you, Pinky." Himiko said with Ayumi helping her up.

"That's good to hear, Himiko. Let's go, okay?" Ayumi said as she didn't let go of her hand as she started toward U.A. Himiko followed without thinking.

She glanced down at where their fingers were laced together. It was not tight. Not even forcing her to follow. Her gaze drifted upward, settling on Ayumi's back.

'What is this!?' Himiko thought to herself, she began to shake her head as if she could push away those thoughts.


The smooth, soulful groove of Marvin Gaye's "Trouble Man" filled the quiet of the hospital room. Serena's eyes fluttered open, finding Sora sitting by the bed, completely absorbed in a book. A small smile tugged at Serena's lips. She stared up at the ceiling for a moment, letting the music ground her, before whispering:

​"On your left." 

​Sora jumped, the book nearly slipping from his hands. He looked down at Serena, his surprise melting into a wide, relieved grin. "Mom.. That's my line!"

Sora let out a shaky laugh, running a hand over his face as if he needed to make sure this was real. Serena's smile widened just a little. "Guess I beat you to it this time," she murmured, her voice still rough from sleep.

The faint hum of the monitor and the soft crackle of the old speaker filled the space between them. The bassline from the song rolled on, smooth and steady, like a heartbeat.

Sora set the book aside and leaned forward in his chair. "You scared me," he admitted quietly. "You were out for so long... I didn't know if—" He stopped himself, swallowing hard.

Serena turned her head toward him. Even in the dim hospital light, her eyes held that familiar warmth. "Hey," she said, barely above a whisper. "I'm still here."For a moment, neither of them spoke. Then Sora reached out and took her hand, careful of the IV taped to her wrist. His grip was gentle, but it carried two days' worth of worry and relief all at once.

"You missed a lot," he said, trying for lightness but couldn't. "And I mean a lot."

"What is it, baby?" Serena replied, as she tilts her head in confusion. Sora, on the other hand, sighed, trying to get his thoughts in order until he found the words.

"It's about Ayumi..."


In Space - Alsatia's Ship 

"DAMN THOSE RANGERS!"

To say that Alsayia was livid would be a mere understatedment as she raged within her throne room. Because of the her ship getting hit by the explosion from the HSPC building, it was now in the middle of repairs a bit far from the Earth.

"No one defies me! NO ONE!" she growled, her voice sharp enough to make the room itself seem to shrink. Then, biting back a roar, she steadied herself, forcing a brittle calm. "I must remain... calm. I must not... do something foolish."

"If I may, Your Grace." said Scrozzle, his claws clicking nervously. "It seems that the Pink Ranger has wandered off on her own. could set down another monster to destroy her.."

Enresh merely scoffed. "What nonsense. Every monster you've brought back from the past has failed. Not to mention the Paladin destroyed the White Ranger clone without even using a Legendary mode. And don't get me started on that short-tempered, idiotic cy—"

Alastia raised a hand, silencing him. Rising gracefully from her throne, she let her gaze sweep over the room, cold and calculating. "Perhaps we should stop recycling old failures," she said, her voice like ice. "It's time we create our own monster —one the Hero Force and even the Rangers of the past have never faced."

The air in the chamber seemed to tighten, as if the shadows themselves leaned in to listen. Even Scrozzle's jaw went slack at the audacity of the plan.

Enresh narrowed his eyes. "And what... exactly do you propose, Your Grace?"Alastia smiled, a slow, dangerous curve. 

"Something new. Something unparalleled. Something that will ensure no Ranger ever survives to tell the tale."

To Be Continued...

 

Notes:

Done.

This chapter ended up a tad shorter than I expected, certainly shorter than the previous chapter. Here, it's a bit more focused as we have Ayumi interacting with Toga and wanting to get her help, much faster than canon.

What do you guys think???

Also, since this is mainly Ayumi/Mariko's character arc, the outro has changed until it's over.

Thank you very much for reading. "Power Rangers: Heroes Force" will return with the 2nd half of Season 2. Please be sure to favorite and follow if you like the story, and also review it. If you have any questions or discussions you'd have for me, then please in a review or a PM my profile.

Thank you for reading, may God bless you, and have a wonderful day.

Chapter Text

In Space - Alsatia's Ship

Within Alsatia's throne room, Scozzle and Ernesh found themselves standing nearby as Alsatia stood in the center of the room with a Batzler grunt before her. "By the by, uh..." Scrozzle started nervously. "What's going on?"

"An ascension ceremony, it's a magical ritual developed by His Radiance, Emperor Malus, Lady Alsatia's own father." Ernesh explained with his arms crossed. "The Ultima Demon was even created through this process."

Scrozzle looked at Alsatia, whose sinister face was staring down the grunt, and flinched at her look. "You don't say?" he asked, backing away from him and into a corner. "Well...maybe I should go work on repairs."

"Good choice," Ernesh replied, his tone smooth but edged with warning. He watched the robotic scientist scuttle away before shaking his head in frustration. Questions swirled in his mind, but he kept his focus.

"My lady," he continued, his voice steady. "you may proceed with the process, but permission to speak?"

"Granted, my old friend." Alsatia said, as she continued to look at the grunt with sinister glee.

"Are you certain that this course of action is the correct one? I do not mean to disrespect you, as you are a powerful sorceress. But not even you can perform an Ascension Ceremony like this before."

"Yet my father created the beast with no complication."

"Yes, he did. But the circumstances were very different back then. Even now, your father hasn't been able to create a second Ultima since Zera took Ibris away."

"Exactly," Alsatia replied, finally turning her gaze from the grunt to Ernesh. Her eyes gleamed with quiet defiance. "The circumstances were different.."

She stepped closer to the trembling Batzler grunt. The creature swallowed hard, its claws flexing against the floor. "But I am not my father," she continued, lifting one hand as a faint violet energy began to curl around her fingers. "He calculated. I will improve."

Ernesh's brow furrowed. "Improvement does not remove risk, my lady. The ritual requires a stable conduit. The subject must—"

"I know what it requires," Alsatia cut in sharply. The air in the room seemed to tighten. "And I have chosen well."

Alsatia held up her staff as the tip began glowing with dark energy as a purple magic circle formed underneath the grunt. She then pointed her staff at the Batzler before a wave of energy came out of it, which then hit it.

The Batzler moaned in agony, as its body lit up brightly and began to transform.

Suddenly, there was an explosion, followed by dark smoke, for which a figure could be seen within it in the place of the Batzler. It had dark gray-blue skin with blue neon spreading across its body. On its head, it had a pair of side horns. On the back of this form, it wore a purple tattered cape floating, and a thin but sharp katana circle in its hand.

"Rise, demon knight and tell your name."

The magic circle disappeared, and the figure slowly climbed up to its feet.

"I am Nelo, Lady Alsatia, and I will happily serve the daughter of the Great Demon." The creature spoke, its eyes glowing gold.

"Excellent." Alsatia laughed as she saw the creature make his appearance. "Now then." She stated as she then got serious. "I have granted you more than enough power... And all for one purpose." Alsatia continued as she held up a holographic image of Ayumi. "Find this girl, and break her! This, in turn, will have the others running to her rescue so you can take them all down."

"I see.. I shall do what you ask, my lady." The creature replied, as he began to kneel, but then he sensed something or someone. "Pardon me, my lady, but I sense one of my brethren, one that I haven't sensed for a long time."

The air in the chamber shifted, as if something unseen had drawn a slow breath. The creature's head tilted slightly, his posture frozen mid-kneel.

"Brethren?" Alsatia repeated, her eyes narrowing. "Explain."

"Yes... the presence is faint, but unmistakable," he murmured. "I sense Ibris the Ultima."

Alsatia and Ernesh's eyes lit up in shock at this. "What?"

"The Ultima is somewhere on that planet. My lady, after my task involving the girl is over, would you like me to find The Ultima?"

"Indeed."

"Then I, Nelo, will do whatever it takes to bring back the Ultima."

"See that you do. Now go."

Nelo nodded and unsheathed his sword, slicing through the air as a portal opened. The knight-like creature stepped through it, leaving Alsatia and Ernesh—who was still in shock—behind.

"My lady, can it be true that the Ultima still exists? And on Earth of all places?"

Ernesh's voice grunted, half with curiousity, half with disbelief. His eyes darted from the fading shimmer of the portal back to Alsatia, seeking confirmation.

"We shall see."

"But my lady, if the Ultima still lives, we must contact your father and let him know of the information we received!"

"And we will, Enresh. Calm yourself," she said, placing a steadying hand on his shoulder. "But even if we could reach him, Father is still conquering the Outer Rim. But if we do find the Ultima, it could provide an opportunity we cannot let pass."

Ernesh hummed, though his eyes never left the place where Nelo had vanished. "I see. If the Emperor knew about this..." His voice trailed off, a mix of fear and longing tangled together.

Alsatia regarded him coolly, her gaze distant. "Some truths are meant to be uncovered only when the time is right. For now, we must focus on what lies before us."


(HF Opening Intro 2)


After teleporting to Earth, Nelo kept to the rooftops, his armored silhouette blending into the uneven skyline. Each step was deliberate, silent despite the weight he carried. Below, Ayumi and Himiko walked side by side, their conversation drifting up between the gaps of passing cars and murmuring pedestrians.

"So when we get to U.A.," Himiko said, swinging her arms loosely. "we just act normal, right? Pinky?"

Ayumi didn't answer right away. Her eyes moved—not her head, just her eyes—scanning reflections in windows, the rhythm of footsteps behind them, the faint scrape of something shifting above. something shifting above. "Huh? Oh, well, we'll figure it out," she finally said. "But we should—"

Suddenly, she noticed a black orb of energy appearing in front of them. "Wait!" she shouted, and the duo turned just in time to see Nelo appear from the black orb. He looked at the two girls in front of him, before speaking. "Which one of you is the Pink Ranger?"

As Ayumi took in this new figure, she noticed something, or rather sensed something. The overwhelming strength and darkness this guy carried was incredibly powerful. So powerful that it sent a cold chill down her spine.

Despite this, she took a step forward. "Who's asking?"

"Ah excellent, you have spirit. I am known as Nelo; I was tasked by Her Grace to find and break you for your actions against her, yet I sense the stench of the Ultima surrounding you."

Ayumi blinked at this. 'Ultima?' She thought in confusion.

"This guy is giving me the creeps." Himiko commented before pulling out a knife. "Maybe I'll cut him."

"Himiko, wait!"

Toga lunged at Nelo, knife poised, her heart hammering. But the creature moved with almost lazy precision, sidestepping effortlessly. She slashed again, trying to find an opening, but every strike met only air.

Before she could react, Nelo's hand shot out, gripping her by the throat. She struggled, choking back a scream.

 "Are humans... this weak?" His voice was calm, almost disappointed. He then let out a soft sigh. "Pity."

Without warning, he flung her toward Ayumi with such force that both girls hurtled through the air and smashed into the side of a building. Dust and debris erupted around them as they tumbled onto the concrete.

"Hmph." Nelo snorted, walking towards the dust cloud.


Within the building, Ayumi sat up and let out a few coughs. "Wow." She groaned, rubbing her arm in pain. That's when she noticed Himiko by her side, shaking in pain. "Himiko!"

The bun-haired girl tried to sit up. "I'm fine, I'm fine. I just need to— GAH!"" She squeaked, holding her now broken leg. "No I'm not fine, I'm not fine."

"Don't move, I'll be righ—" Ayumi started, but before she could finish, Nelo lunged at her. He grabbed her by the throat and, moving with terrifying speed, tore through several buildings while people screamed in terror.

They burst through the last building, sunlight stabbing her eyes. Before she could even react, Nelo lifted her like she weighed nothing, then hurled her across the street. She tumbled through the air, wind whipping her face, every instinct screaming to survive.

Screams tore through the streets as people scattered in all directions, clutching children, pets, anything they could, eyes wide with terror. Ayumi crashed onto the pavement, pain searing through her body, and the chaos around her swallowed every sense of safety. 'Who is this guy? He's so strong...'

"Pitiful." Nelo spoke as he stood across from the girl. "I thought a Power Ranger was a powerful warrior! Instead, you let that weakling fight your battles? I expected more."

'I can't worry about that. I need to stop him.' Shaking her head, Ayumi strugged to get back up again. Once she did, she held up her Morpher. "IT'S MORPHIN TIME!" She shouted before spinning the dial, right before a gumball-sized hologram of the Samurai logo, that consisted of a golden crest of the Shiba House, floated on the dial's face.

"Legendary Ranger Mode, Samurai!" She called out before she slammed the dial down. Soon, a key appeared in her hand as it was revealed to be the Pink Samurai Ranger Key.

She then held up her Ranger Key before flicking it open. "Go, Go, Samurai!" She called out before inserting the key into her Morpher's slot and turning it, becoming engulfed in a burst of pink light.


(Morph sequence - Samurai)

Ayumi then brought her arms down to her side as she was in a dark pink area, with a giant () symbol in front of her and surrounded by smaller () symbols. The smaller () symbols then started to levitate from the ground and a vortex of them surrounded her, changing Ayumi's outfit to a black gi with pink outlines on it and a black mask revealing her eyes with the wind kanji symbol on her forehead. Then a second vortex surrounds her again, forming her Ranger outfit from her neck to her feet. Suddenly, a katana-like sword comes flying past her and Ayumi grabs it from the hilt with her right hand, then she places the sword in its sheath attached to her waist. And suddenly, the giant () symbol flew straight to her face, changing into a helmet with a black visor of the kanji symbol on it.

(Morph sequence Ends)

Ayumi now stood in a pink samurai garb with a black undersuit and a pink skirt

Ayumi now stood in a pink samurai garb with a black undersuit and a pink skirt. The Y-shaped collar was black with a white outline and a golden belt buckle wrapped around her waist, and on the right side of the belt was a black holster that held her Samuraizer. The white gloves and pink boots had a single black line on their cuffs. There was also the Shiba Clan crest on her left breast area. The helmet was pink with a visor in the shape of the Japanese kanji for 'Sky'.

"You're wrong..." Ayumi denied, opening her Disc Buckle to reveal the Power Disc inside.She grabbed the Samurai Disc and placed it on her Spin Sword before she unsheathed the sword out to her side. "I am more than that. I am stronger than what you make me out as!"

"Oh? Then let's prove it then." Nelo stated, pointing his katana at the Pink Ranger and getting into a battle position. "Let me see what kind of power you have. If you can beat me, maybe I'll see you as a worthy foe."

"And if I lose?" Ayumi asked, also getting into her fighting stance.

"Well... there'll just be one less Power Ranger I have to deal with. But you will tell me where the Ultima is on this planet." Nelo replied as he then launched at her.


Command Chamber

"Aye-yi-yi-yi-yi! Katrina, I got Ayumi's signal! She's must've morphed!" Alpha announced, typing rapidly at a terminal.

Katrina moved over to him. "Where is?" She asked hurriedly.

This also got Lady Nagant's attention as she looked over at them in alarm.

"Just half a mile from U.A!"

"She might be in trouble. Call the others!"

"Let me go there!" Nagant announced, making Katrina and Alpha turn around. 

 "I don't think that's a good idea."

Katrina hesitated, watching her load the rifle. The quiet determination in Nagant's movements made her stomach tighten.

"Are you... certain about this?" Katrina asked softly. "Once you step outside, I can't promise anything."

Nagant paused only for a second, then continued adjusting the scope. "If me getting killed out there..." she said calmly, "...or going back to Tartarus means that Mariko is safe..."

She finally looked up, her expression steady but tired. "...then I'll take that chance."

Katrina frowned, confusion mixing with concern. "But... why? After everything you did... the whole reason that led you to being sent to Tartarus in the first place... why risk it again? What aren't you telling me? Better yet, Ayumi?"

Alpha glanced between them, clearly wondering the same thing.


"...which is why we're looking for her now." Sora finished, lowering himself into the chair next to Serena. She rubbed her eyes, sighing heavily before fixing her gaze on her son.

"So let me get this straight," Serena said, her voice tight with disbelief. "Ayumi... our Ayumi... is the biological daughter of Lady Nagant? The same Lady Nagant who murdered a hero and assassinated the previous HPSC president? And when Ayumi found out, she panicked... and just... left the Command Chamber?"

"That sums it up, yeah." Sora nodded, his jaw tight.

Serena huffed, leaning back in her bed and letting out a long, tired breath. "One hell of a day to wake up on..."

"Right..."

Suddenly, the sound of Sora's Morpher beeping caught their attention. "Katrina... Alpha?" Sora answered, his voice tight.

"Sora," Katrina's voice cut through the line, urgent and strained. "it's Ayumi! She's morphed. We need you, now."

"She's okay?" His heart leapt into his throat.

"We don't know," Alpha added gravely. "But you have to get there, Sora. Hurry."

Sora's gaze flicked toward his mother. "I—"

"Go," Serena said softly, her hand on his shoulder. "Ayumi needs you and the others more than anything right now. Don't hesitate."

Sora nodded his head in return. "Okay." He replied, before bolting out of the room.


Ayumi sent a slash at Nelo, but he blocked it with his sword, then she spun around to kick him, but missed as he ducked and ran past her. She then sent another slash, but he blocked it while turning around, then she blocked his sword as he tried to stab her. She then tried to stab him, but missed as Nelo blocked it and moved around him, and then she turned to him, just as he slashed her across the chest.

"Uh!" Ayumi moaned as sparks flew off her suit.

Nelo then spun around and kicked her in the chest, sending her flying away.

"AH!" She yelled, slamming against a truck, which sent her flying back towards the ground, landing on her chest.

Nelo dared him to come closer with his finger, as she got back up. Clenching her fist, then he jumped over her, landing behind her crouched, as he turned around. They clashed swords together, then he blocked her sword's butt with his elbow, then he pulled her arm down, then ducked and ran past her as she tried to slice him. He then turned slightly and tried to slice her, but Ayumi blocked it with her sword, and then spun around to kick him, but missed as Nelo dodged.

He soon turned to face her and swung his sword, sending shot a dark fireball at Ayumi, which divided into three smaller ones and homed in on the Pink Ranger. She saw them coming, and slashed one of them, but got hit by the other two, causing fiery explosions. Ayumi shrugged off the attack and charged at Nelo who charged at her just the same. They clashed blades, causing a huge shockwave around them, and sending dust flying upwards.


Near the entrance of the Industrial Area, Reina, Cyrus, Kiba, and Ryutei witnessed the billowing of dust from far away. "What was that!?" Kiba asked, raising his hand over his eyes to focus.

Before any of the Rangers could say anything, they heard their morphers beeping.

"Alpha? What's wrong?" Ryutei was the first to ask.

"Everyone! It's Ayumi! She's in the middle of a battle!" Alpha announced.

"WHAT?!" The Rangers shouted in shock before they heard another explosion from that same area and saw more dust fly into the sky.

"What are we all standing around for?! Reina asked after turning off her communicator. "Ayu needs our help!" She then raced towards the area.

"Wait up, Reina!" Cyrus called out as he and the others followed her.


Back in the battle, Ayumi was once again pushed away from Nelo's attack. She skidded to a halt as Nelo held his sword sideways and, in a flash, he dashed towards the Pink Ranger in the blink of an eye.

"W-What?" Ayumi noticed that he passed her, but she didn't notice the barrage of hits he laid onto her until she finally felt them. She was repeatedly knocked back, but she climbed back to her feet.

"Ahh!" Ayumi moaned in pain, feeling how much damage she was given. "This guy's no pushover. He's the real deal."

"Shadow Flares."

Suddenly, she found herself surrounded by several dark orbs. Ayumi jumped up, but the orbs followed her. They started to close in, so she rapidly deflected them with her Spin Sword. She landed on the ground and ran at Nelo. The two clashed, and Ayumi repeatedly slashed at him. Nelo deflected her attack, and went into a slash combo as well. Ayumi barely blocked it. Soon, she saw an opening, parried Nelo's sword, and laid several hits onto the monster. But, it looked as if it did nothing to him.

"Is that all you got?" Nelo asked. "Surely you can do more."

"I'm just getting started!" Ayumi roared, opening her Disc Buckle to reveal the Pink Turtle Disc inside. She grabbed the Samurai Disc and placed it on her Spin Sword. "Spin Sword!" Then, she spun the Turtle Disc as it glowed brightly, enveloping the sword in a pink cyclone.

"Airway!" Ayumi called out, slashing her sword forward and sending a sparkling wave containing powerful winds towards Nelo, which he took at full force. He was sent skidding backwards before shrugging it off, dusting off his shoulder.

"Ayumi!" Several voices shouted. Ayumi turned to the side to see Reina leading Ryutei, Cyrus, and Kiba towards her.

"Guys!" Ayumi cried, shocked that they found her.

Nelo's eyes narrowed, and with a sharp snap of his fingers, several illusionary clones of himself appeared, each swinging their swords in unison. Shockwaves rippled outward, sending the Rangers tumbling backwards as the clones advanced with deadly precision. 

"What the...?" Cyrus uttered.

"There will be no interfering." Nelo stepped forward, his gaze locked on Ayumi. "This fight... is ours alone, Pink Ranger," he said, his voice low and menacing.

Ayumi tensed up for another attack.

"Stay away from her!" Reina yelled, climbing back up to her feet to see the clones blocking her path. "Get out of the way!"

Before she could do anything, one of the clones charges forward, sending her back with a blast of dark magic. Fortunately, Kiba caught her. "There will be no interfering." The clone recalled, saying the exact same words.

Ryutei stepped forward. "Then, we'll force you to move."

Yet the clones didn't say anything, until all of them said the exact same thing in unison. "Interesting, much like the Pink Ranger, you all have the taint of the Ultima."

The team blinked in confusion. "Ultima?" Cyrus echoed, looking at his friends. They were just as lost as him.

"What the hell are you talking about!? Who's Ultima?" Reina shouted, as the Nelo clones all shook their heads before speaking again.

"Not Ultima, Ibris the Ultima! The greatest creation, the prized possession." One the clones replied.

"Ibr-what?" Kiba questioned with a head tilt.

"Enough.. Tell me where the Ultima is, and I shall spare your friend from the fate that I will soon give her." Nelo declared, pointing his katana at Ayumi.

"You're not laying a finger on her!" Reina growled, holding up her Morpher. "Let's go!"

"Right!" Kiba and Cyrus chorused in unison.

The Rangers spun the dials on their Morphers, right before different gumball-sized holographic logos floated on the dials' faces: The Dino Fury logo for Reina, The MMPR logo for Cyrus, and the Megaforce logo for Kiba.

"Legendary Ranger Mode: Dino Fury/Mighty Morphin/Megaforce!" They called out respectively before they slammed their dials down. Soon, a key appeared in each of their hands as they were revealed to be Ranger Keys.

The team then held up their Ranger Keys before flicking them open.

"Dino Fury! Link to Morphin' Grid!"

"Triceratops!"

"Go, Go Megaforce!"

They soon inserted the keys into their Morphers' slots and turned the keys, becoming engulfed in bursts of light.

"In that case." Ryutei pressed the button on his own Morpher as the core popped up and showed floating holographic projections of the Sixth Rangers. That's when he came across the dark image of the Magna Defender. "Might as well. Magna Power!"

He slammed down on the core as he was then engulfed in a burst of dark light.


(Morph sequence - Dino Fury, MMPR, Megaforce)

The background changes to a black void area with it shining a blue lightly light, as Reina slammed both her right palms on the ground as cracks of energy form on the floor, before moving straight back up to strike a pose while the cracks of energy swirl around her body that creates a see-through projection of a green Saber-Tooth Tiger roaring behind her, along with a cloud of Grid Energy appearing above her. Then she jumped high in the air straight into the Grid Energy that engulfed her body in green from neck to feet, before the energy on the Ranger's body changed to white, as Reina begin to fall back down on the ground. When she landed on the ground, she was on one knee with one of her hands on the floor, before quickly standing straight back up causing the energy around her body to materialize her Ranger suit. Suddenly, her helmet appear behind her head and close shut on her head, completing the transformation. "Tiger Fury, Green Ranger!"

The background changes to a rocky wasteland with Cyrus standing there, as he moves his arms down to his sides before two bolts of blue lightning hit the ground behind him, destroying it upon impact. Then the lightning travels toward the ground at Cyrus, to form his Ranger suit from his neck to feet with blue sparks of electricity slightly dancing around his body. Suddenly, Cyrus' helmet appears in front of his face, then turns into energy before forming around his head to complete the transformation. "Mighty Morphin Blue Ranger!"

The current background changes to a daytime sky with Kiba raising both his arms up by the sides, as his Ranger suit forms from his neck to feet. Then he jumped back to do a back flip, while a yellow tiger silhouette flew behind him. As Kiba landed on the ground, the tiger appeared to bite down on his head to form his helmet, with Kiba facing forward and multiple Gosei Yellow Power Cards lined up behind him as his helmet was slightly shining from the right side. "Megaforce Yellow!"

In a purple flame-like background, Ryutei held up his hand as the Magna Sword appeared in it. Soon, green beams came out of the blade, morphing him into the Magna Defender.

(Morph sequence Ends)


Reina was wearing a white and black colored neck the is connected to black outlined in white lightning bolt like marking. She had a silver left arm, and a bit of her left chest is colored in silver with her boots being green as well. The rest of her body was green, and he has four rows of two gold bands on her arms and legs. Her belt band is silver with a gold buckle and silver ornaments on the sides. Her helmet resembles a saber-tooth tigrt, as it is green with silver, a knight like visor that was black and a pair of orange eyes on top.

Cyrus was wearing a Blue Ranger suit. His attire had white gloves and boots, with blue diamonds on it, with matching white ones on the chest, while his helmet had a sliver mouthpiece, and his visor was narrowed with three horns on his helmet, had yellow eyes on, and his visor was an oval with points at the end, with a small triangle in the top middle.

Kiba wore a yellow shirt with long sleeves that cut off right above his waist. The shirt had a yellow outline and an angelic symbol with a silver belt and gold buckle as the Gosei Morpher and Mega Blaster were attached on each side of the belt. The helmet of the Yellow Ranger had a rectangular, black visor with a grey mouth mold. On the edges of the visor were two tigers printed in black. Right above the visor was an emblem that had a similar design to the chest insignia. He also wore white pants with yellow lines running down the sides and red boots with black cuffs.

Lastly, Ryutei was donned in a black knight-like armour with a black zig-zag along his belt and lower shoulder bits, a green crystal on his chest, and yellow horns on either side of his helmet

Lastly, Ryutei was donned in a black knight-like armour with a black zig-zag along his belt and lower shoulder bits, a green crystal on his chest, and yellow horns on either side of his helmet. He also had a long cape that was black on one side, red on the other, and a sword in a holder.

"Now, you gotta deal with us too!" Reina declared, grabbing her Chromafury Saber from its sheath and drew it out

"Now, you gotta deal with us too!" Reina declared, grabbing her Chromafury Saber from its sheath and drew it out.

"I see..." The Nelo clones spoke, before going silent only to speak once more. "Then consider that your last words to her." 

With that, they charged towards the Rangers, kick starting the fight.


Command Chamber

​After Nagant had explaining everything, including her abandonment of Ayumi, Katrina and Alpha were beyond shocked by what they heard.

"Ai-yi-yi..." The robot whimpered in dismay.

But the mentor's shock quickly curdled into white-hot anger. The command chamber reacted to her mood—every monitor dissolved into a wall of grey static.

​"Of all the... despicable... morally bankrupt... actions they've done." Katrina muttered, her voice trembling. She forced herself to stop, taking long, deep breaths to regain control before the equipment short-circuited entirely.

"Katrina..." Alpha only said, this calms her down.

"Well, it's a good thing I got a hold of their files before their HQ went up in flames."

"You—you did? But still, do you believe it was alright to let her go?" Alpha questioned, gesturing to the absense of Nagant.

Katrina paused, eyes lowering. "No... but like our Rangers, I believe in second chances. And we do need all the help we can get in this war."

To Be Continued...

 

Notes:

And done, this one took a while. But I hope it came out well enough. So, to clarify something...every HF Ranger will have a character arc at one point in the story. Ayumi was first because her was simple and straightforward.

Chapter Text

With Sora

As Sora continues to drive on his Valiant Cycle, even going beyond the speed limit, contact his friends, but there was nothing but static, so he tries again.

"Come on, come on!" Sora muttered, but no answer. "Damnit! Kat, Al, what's going on over there?"

"The others are in the middle of engaging the enemy as Ayumi's in the middle of it." Katrina urgently told him.

"What!?" Sora interrupted, but then, an explosion is heard from across the city, causing Sora to stop, as he saw a cloud of dust rising up into the air."No..."

Narrowing his eyes, Sora pressed the red Morph button on his morpher, causing it to start glowing red. He then thrusted his left arm out. "Call of the Hero!" 

He pulled his left arms back and used his other hand to spin the Morpher's top half.


(Morph sequence - HF)

The background changes to a terrain of flames as Sora held out his Morpher, which glowed red, as the spirit of a Red Condor soars in front of him. Sora rushes towards the Condor Spirit, before it forms around his body and creating his Red Ranger outfit from his neck to feet. As his hero lands on the grass, Sora's helmet formed on his head with a black visor while red, hot flames roar in the background as he poses.

(End morph sequence)

"Hang on, guys!" Sora declared, pressing out the gas on his Valiant Cycle and blasting faster down the street.


(Cue Hero Force Intro 2 )


 

With the other Rangers

Explosions went off everywhere as the battle kicked off fiercely.

A Nelo clone swung its katana downwards at Reina, only for her to grab her opponent's weapon and rip it out of the clone's hand by tossing the katana aside, then counter slashes the clone with a diagonal upward swing that takes the clone out. The Green Dino Fury Ranger immediately avoids an attack from the left by stepping back a bit and another from the right by stepping back again, then dodges for a third time while leaping away backward to perform a backhand stand with one hand and acrobatic movements to get some distance from her and her foes.

Reina crouches her legs down a bit before blazingly leaping toward the enemy to horizontally cut down seven clones in a split second before they even realized it themselves.

"Too fast for yah?" The Green Ranger quipped before spiral jumping to her next opponent.


"Power Lance!" Cyrus shouted, as his weapon came out in front of him, as he grabbed it and swung it around, before held it out behind him, holding his left hand like a fist.

Two clones shot energy blasts from their katanas at him, who jumped up as they hit the ground, creating an explosion behind him.

"HA!" Cyrus yelled, diving down and slashed two clones with the end of his lance, before he jumped and spun around, diving past another clone, before he landed and slashed three more clones down. A fourth dived towards him and fired a blast from its mouth, but he put the pole end of his staff against the ground, then jumped up and kicked the clone's chest, as an explosion went off nearby.


"My turn!" Kiba called, holding the Gosei Morpher with his left hand and opening it up, then moving a hatch on his belt buckle and pulling out one of the Power Cards inside.

He places the Tiger Claw Power Card into the Morpher's mouth before closing it with the Gosei Morpher lighting up.

"Summon Battle Gear." Gosei's voice said as the Tiger Claw was summoned in front of Kiba in mid-air.

"Tiger Claw!" Kiba shouted while grabbing his weapon and jumped up with it, as an explosion went off behind him.

He dove down and landed on his feet, before he ducked as a clone ran past and tried to slash him, before he slashed a clone's chest with his weapon, then he spun around and hit another's with it. He turned and hit two clones with the claw, before he shoved them away, sending them flying, before they hit the ground.

He then held up his weapon high. "Mega Quake!" He shouted before slamming it down, creating a massive tremor, which knocked several clones away.


Ryutei turned and saw a swarm of clones heading towards him. He took out the Magna Sword from his belt's holder, and then got ready to fight. "Show me what you've got."

He charged at the clones, then used his sword to block one's katana, and then he slashed another across the chest. He then blocked a third's kick with his forearm, then ducked as a fourth tried to punch him, then blocked a punch from it and hit it in the belly with the butt of his sword. He then elbowed the third in the chest, then punched the fourth in the chest, sending it flying away. He then slashed a fifth across the chest, then turned and slashed a sixth across the chest, and then slashed a seventh in the chest.

He then hit a clone in its side with his sword, then he grabbed another's arm as it tried to stab him with its katana. He then slashed a third across the chest with his sword, before he flipped the second onto its back, then he blocked a fourth's kick with his sword, before slashing it across the chest. He then slashed a fifth in the leg, tripping it up, then he turned and slashed a sixth across the chest.

"Magna Blaster Mode!" Ryutei put his sword into its holster, then jumped up, and then picked up both the sword and the holster, turning it into its blaster mode.. He clicked the blaster like a shotgun, then fired it at several clones, hitting them all as sparks came out of them, and a smokescreen came over them.


Back with Ayumi

Nelo and Ayumi's blades clashed, and the two struggled to push the other. Ayumi was having a hard time, but she roared with fury as she mustered up her strength, pushing Nelo away. The dark knight disappeared in a black portal, reappearing behind Ayumi. The Pink Ranger reacted just in time to stop his sneak attack, and retaliated with a few slashes of her own. Nelo stumbled backwards from the attack, but he recovered and sent a barrage of his Shadow Flare orbs at Ayumi and was about to move in on her. Seeing this, Ayumi quickly took out her Samuraizer and drew up the 風 kanji. "Symbol Power! Wind!" She shouted, summoning a spiraling gust of wind that not only deflected all the orbs, but also sent Nelo skidding backwards.

The fighting ensued, and Ayumi was now moving with a new sense of determination, using all the skills and abilities she had in fighting against Nelo, who kept her on the edge as he could.  The two kept clashing, kept countering blow for blow, and dodging attacks they set upon each other whenever possible. 

Ayumi doubled back from a triple barrage of homing dark fireballs. She jumped up and fired a wind slash at the first two, then slashed the last one. She failed to notice Nelo getting behind her and slashing her in the back, sending her crashing into the ground, producing a dust cloud. As he descended, Ayumi dove out of the dust cloud, spinning around to face Nelo again. She was breathing heavily from exhaustion, not sure how long she could last against him.

"You look a little tired." Nelo pointed out, seeing Ayumi standing there. "Why don't you just give up now? You won't be able to win in your condition. Or are you just waiting for your friends to protect you again?" Ayumi was getting really annoyed with Nelo's taunts.

"Stop saying that!" Ayumi shouted at him. "You keep saying the same thing over and over; I can't fight without my friends, I need their protection. Ever heard of a little thing called 'teamwork'? We rely on each other when we fight together. I need them just like they need me!"

"I see...in that case..." Nelo started, raising a hand, before unleashing a blast of dark wind at the Pink Ranger. Ayumi instinctively raised her Spin Sword, trying to endure the gust as she went into a defensive stance. Suddenly, the dark foe became almost ghost-like, as he phased right through her. Once he passed through her, he became opaque again as the wind ceased. Ayumi looked back at him, placing a hand over her chest.

"W-What did you do to me?" Ayumi demanded, pointing her sword at him.

Nelo had his back  towards her before speaking. "I merely took a dive into your mind, and what I saw in there was very interesting..." He looked over his shoulder. "Daughter of Nagant."

A ripple of horror ran through Ayumi as her eyes widened in shock. "W...W-What?"

 "Imagine my surprise when I found out that the very Ranger that I'm fighting is the offspring of a hero turned villain." Nelo responded with strong emphasis. "Because of that, your mind is in shambles, unable to process the truth. So, tell me....how does it feel? You don't even know where you belong anymore..."

"Shut up!" Ayumi barked.

"...No 'family' to turn to. No place you could consider 'home'..."

"Shut up! Shut up!" Ayumi repeated, now shaking with fury.

"...You are alone." Nelo continued. "With out a true mother or father. Or even a true friend to turn to..."

"I said shut up!" The Pink Ranger growled, dashing forward, ready to strike. 

That gave Nelo that chance he was waiting for as he dashed in close and performed a series of slashes onto Ayumi, damaging her incredibly. 

"Arrrgh!" She screamed as sparks flew off her.

Before she hit the ground, Nelo snapped his fingers, and five pillars of fire enveloped Ayumi as she howled in pain. When the pillars disappeared, an unmorphed Ayumi fell to the ground, singed and cut.

"Ayumi!" Reina, Kiba, and Cyrus shouted.

Ryutei, on the other hand, could only stare in shock and horror.

Nelo's words rang through Ayumi's head, while the rest of her body was ringing with the pain she just endured. She was feeling utterly helpless. How was she able to fight against Nelo on her own without her friends?

Without warning, Nelo seized Ayumi by the throat and lifted her off her feet. As she dangled, the monster paused, his nostrils flaring. He caught the scent of her terror. He watched her hands shake, then brought her level with his gaze, staring deep into her eyes.

"Ahh, the smell of a warrior's fear," Nelo mused. He leaned in, his voice a low growl. "Or perhaps you're just a child pretending to be a soldier. Let's see if I can break you completely."

Ayumi felt herself fall into Nelo's eyes and the world went black.


She had woken up, disoriented, somewhere she didn't know... and couldn't see. Even though there was a light shining right over her, the rest of the scenery was completely dark. It was impossible to tell whether it was a place she knew or not. Her head hurt, and her eyes felt weary. It was like she was in that place, halfway between consciousness and slumber. She rubbed her forehead with her fingers, trying to clear up her thoughts.

"Where am I?" she muttered, unable to make out a single thing, no matter how hard she looked. She didn't intend to move an inch away from the light and towards the pure darkness surrounding her. 

"That's a good question." a voice said from behind her. She jumped and quickly turned to see who it was. She wasn't really expecting an answer when she asked, of course. But... there was no one there?

"Who... who's there?" she asked, her voice shaky. She reached for her Morpher, only to look down and find it no where on her arm. A light chuckle came from somewhere in the darkness, and before her, a figure stepped up from the darkness... Sora.

"Sora!" Ayumi let out the breath she had been holding, amazingly relieved, and went to hug him, but he stopped her in her tracks.

"Umm, I'd rather if you didn't do that." he said, and awkwardly cleared his throat. "Look, Ayumi, I... I don't really... like you."

"W-What?" she could almost feel her heart dropping down and crashing. "W-what do you mean?"

"It's exactly what I said" his words were cold, just as cold as snow in the winter. "I don't like you. Not as friend...not even in 'that' way."

"B-but... that night we saved Eri..." she stammered, in confusion and heartbreak. "You... kissed me. I thought..."

"Oh, yeah." He rubbed his neck and grimaced. "That... that was a mistake. I don't know what came over me. You're not even my type."

Ayumi felt her heart shatter, feeling the tears fighting for coming out. Hearing those words come from Sora of all people was like a devastating blow.

"You're just..." he groaned in frustration. "You're just so weak, Ayumi. Not to mention that you're such a coward. You're afraid of literally anything. You can't even stand up against Nelo."

"You don't have to say that!" she couldn't contain the tears anymore, and averted her face from him to hide it. Her head was starting to hurt; a pounding, throbbing pain. It felt like someone was hitting her brain with a baseball bat with each time her heart beat.

"I can't believe you ever even thought I liked you. That night meant nothing. It was just a game. To see how much more foolish you could get. Sometimes I wonder if you even have brains. You're just that silly."

"Stop!" she cried, tears streaming down her face, hands holding her head and body flinching in pain.

"How could anyone ever feel anything but pity towards you? You're pathetic."

"Stop it." she sobbed.

"You're naive, weak, stupid. There's nothing I could ever like about you."

"Please stop." she let herself fall to her knees and buried her face in her hands, sobbing. The throbbing pain in her head stopped after a few minutes of her crying uncontrollably. When she dared to take a glimpse, Sora was no longer there. She sniffed and looked around in confusion.

Her blonde hair was all splattered around her head, her ponytail undone and her bangs slowly falling in front of her eyes. She could dry her tears with her hands, but the pain in her chest was undeniable. She cringed in fear when another figure appeared from the darkness. It was Cyrus.

"C-Cy?" her voice was weak from crying.

"Ayumi." he said. "I just came to tell you. I don't want to stay with you anymore."

"What...?" she asked, even more confused now.

"You're just... so annoying. You were basically raised in luxury, and probably looked down on the rest of us for years. And now, you expect us to still be friends? As if I would, even if I had the time" his blue eyes were harsh and cold, as Ayumi had never seen them before. 

"N-No! That's not true! I'd nev-!"

"And you're a burden for us all. It's because of you that we're risking our lives right now. Because we have to babysit you. You're terribly immature. I'm tired of dealing with you. Just leave me alone, alright?"

"N-No" she replied, her head aching terribly as tears streamed down her cheeks again. "Don't say that. I... I don't want you to go!" she always knew she was a nuisance anyway. A nuisance for them all. She started crying again, her shoulders cringing with every sob. Her crying was loud and echoed in her ears and head. Oh, the pain.

She lifted her eyes to find a completely different person before her. "Rei." the blonde sighed in relief and let out a small smile. Reina wouldn't, right? Reina wouldn't say such things... she wouldn't leave her, right?

"Ayumi." the greenette began. "I think we need to clear up some things."

"W-what is it?"

"Look, I liked you at first. But now, you're just getting on my damn nerves. Honestly, I'm tired of it."

"Reina..." Ayumi's vision became blurry with tears, and she held her hands to her ears, not wanting to hear it. "No. Please don't say that" she pleaded among sobs. "Please."

"I can't be friends with someone as weak as you. You're too useless and too boring. Just like a child." Reina's voice continued on, mercilessly. "You can't do anything right. You're just a failure."

"Stop, please." the blonde cried, every tear a waterfall.

"You can't even tell Sora how you feel. How can you be so useless? We're just tired of dealing with you."

Ayumi's head ached. She couldn't stop her tears. She couldn't bear the pain.

Soon, came another person. "Kiba." She whimpered.

"Why did you leave, Ayu?" He spoke with heartbreak. "You know we could've been there for you, but don't you love us?"

"I do! You know I do! I love you with all my heart!"

Kiba laughed in disgust. "Or maybe you just love us because we don't make you lonely like your whole family, because we're just toys for you to play with so you won't get bored or be lonely ever again. Man, you are so selfish, we probably need a new Pink Ranger. One who's not the daughter of a killer."

Ayumi clenched her chest at those harsh words as she dropped to her knees.

"Coward." Sora's voice said.

"Annoying." Cyrus' voice added.

"Useless." Reina's voice snapped.

"Dummy." Kiba's voice laughed.

The four voices looped, over and over again. "A coward, a burden, an annoyance, a weakling, a failure..."

"Stop!" Ayumi screamed, crying out loud, burying her face in her hands. "Stop, please stop! I can't take it anymore!" she begged, covering her ears with her hands, but the voices only became stronger. "Make it stop..." she sobbed.

Suddenly, everything was silent. Ayumi kept on crying, letting herself fall to lie on the floor, tears streaming down her face. Deep down, she always knew...

The world around her began to crack and break like glass on a window.

Ayumi's screams of pain and fear echoed through all the darkness had inflicted surrounded her. And she was alone.

Alone in the darkness.


Ayumi's anguished screams echoed all up and down the area, lingering long after her voice stopped sounding.

This also drew the attention of the others as well.

"Ayumi!" Kiba shouted.

"Oh no!" Cyrus gasped.

"Bastard!" Reina snarled as she ran towards him. "What the hell did you do!?"

"I showed her her worst fears... You leaving her in the dark," Nelo replied, releasing Ayumi's neck. The Ranger hit the ground, eyes staring vacantly up at the sky, mouth still open in mid-scream, tears and saliva running down her cheeks and chin. Her entire body was shaking, her breathing going faster and faster as the stress hit her all at once.

After a moment, Ayumi hyperventilated and passed out, keeling sideways with a solid thump the second her eyes closed.

"Now tell me where the Ultima is, or watch her scream in fear until her fragile little heart goes out." Nelo spoke once more.

"You son of a-"

"GET AWAY FROM HER!"

Startled by the voice, everyone turned to see Sora come racing over on his bike, which he jumped up.

"What?" Nelo exclaimed, turning left.

"Sora!" Cyrus gasped.

"He's here!" Reina gaped.

"Cap!" Kiba whooped.

Ryutei snorted. "Bout time."

"Eat this!" Sora yelled, diving down.

He rammed his cycle's front wheel into Nelo's chest, causing him to release his hold on Ayumi as he was knocked back. Moving quickly, Sora jumped off the bike and caught her bridal style, before he landed in front of the others, and took off his helmet.

"Ayumi! Ayumi!" Sora called out to the Pink Ranger, shaking her gently. "Open your eyes!"

The rest of the team moved over to them and looked at their blonde teammate.

"Is she okay?" Kiba asked with concern in his voice.

"I don't know, but she looks so pale." Ryutei pointed out.

The Rangers gasped at the sight of Ayumi's skin tone being completely void of color.

"What is this...?" Cyrus uttered in shock.

Reina growled in rage, as she turned to Nelo.  "What did you do to her!?" Reina yelled, but Nelo didn't answer as he was shell-shocked when he saw Sora. 

Yet the Green Dino Fury Ranger was getting more and more enraged."I WANT ANSWERS, YOU PIECE OF--" 

 "It is you..." Nelo interrupted the Green Ranger, as a hideous smile appeared on his face while staring at Sora.

"What?" Sora asked in confusion.

"The Ultima. We finally found you."

 "Ultima?" Sora narrowed his eyes, looking back at his friends to see if they knew, but they shook their heads.

"He was saying something about that name earlier, but we don't know anything about that." Cyrus informed him.

 Turning back to face him, Sora glared at the monster. "Doesn't matter. What did you do to her?"

"What lies have these humans told you? You belong to the Emperor and him alone. Worry not, brother, I will soon release you; and as for them, they too will suffer the same fate as the girl." Nelo declared, as he pointed his katana at them.

"Just try it!" Reina challenged, as she and the others prepared for a fight. "We'll keep that bastard busy, you get Ayumi somewhere safe from here." She said, without looking back.

"Got it!" Sora cradled Ayumi into his arms and moved her from the battlefield, demorphing in the process.

Watching the pair leave, Nelo turned his gaze onto the Rangers. "Stand aside. My business is with them now."

"Hell no, the only way you're getting Sora and Ayumi is through us." Ryutei announced.

"Yeah, you're gonna have to make us move." Kiba chimed in, holding up his Tiger Claw.

Raising his blade, the monster sneered. "Have it your way."

With that, the two groups launched at each other.


Meanwhile, Sora was able to gain some distance away from the action as he gently sat Ayumi within an old warehouse. 

Before anymore could happen, the sound of footsteps could be heard with someone approaching them. Instinctively, Sora spun around, ready to summon his Brave Blaster, only to see it was Nagant running towards him.

 "Lady Nagant?" He blinked in shock. "What are you doing here?"

"I parkoured," She said in a short voice, as though that explained everything. "I'm not here to fight, Red. I'm here to help." 

 That's when her eyes fell on Ayumi and her current state, her eyes widened in concern and shock as she moved over to her daughter. "Mariko! What happened to her?!"

Sora shook his head. "I don't know. That monster that my friends are dealing with had something to do with it. But I'm more worried about what's going to happen to her if they can't..."

Nagant noticed the way Sora's looking at Ayumi from the way his voice softened and his eyes held.... 

Realization came to her. And then she moved her right arm up, and with a small popping noise, the barrel of a rifle suddenly slid out of her elbow and onto the ground, the metal tapping against the balcony's floor just a foot beside Sora's leg.

"... uh." the Red Ranger blinked, looking up at the older heroine in confusion. Before he could ask, however, Nagant spoke.

"Do you think my daughter's pretty?"

There was a short pause. And then Sora felt confusion continue to build inside him, but this time, he got the feeling that he ... may be in danger at the moment.

"Huh? What do you -"

"My daughter," Nagant opened her eyes and turned to look at him coldly. "Mariko."

He kept his mouth closed.

"Judging by the way you were looking at her tells me that you already knew that," She pointed out, "I mean, you're friends with her, right? I sure as hell hope so, seeing as you two worked together with your friends during the Sports Festival."

Now Sora could tell that there was something very wrong here, and from the way the older woman's voice was turning lower and colder made him believe Nagant would let him go, seeing as her cold eyes hadn't left his face and the end of her rifle continued to tap on the floor right beside Sora's knee.

"Now," She gave him a sharp glare. "you didn't answer my question. My daughter. You think she's pretty?"

Not sure exactly where this hostiliy was coming from, Sora decided to speak up. He already knew the obvious answer.

"Who wouldn't think she's pretty?" He replied. "She's beautiful."

"Beautiful, huh?" Nagant tilted her head at the answer ...

... and then her eyes hardened again.

"More beautiful than any other girl you've seen in your life?"

Okay, now Sora knew he was in serious danger right now.

"I ... I  guess it depends on who you ask," Nagant's eyes narrowed a fraction at that answer. "But, Ayu's...she's got a charm I doubt any of them could match."

"I see..."

Straightening up, Nagant leaned forward, her eyes boring into his as Sora felt he was facing a ferocious female lion.

"So," She slowly tilted her head, "I'm gonna ask you another question, Red. And you better answer it correctly."

"Okay?"

"Are." She clenched her one hand against the railing. "You. In love. With my daughter?"

There was another pause.

"WHAT!? WHAT KINDA OF QUESTION IS THAT!? Don't get me wrong! She's a wonderful person but put love is a different kind of story, you know!" 

 But Nagant continued to narrow her eyes at him with the eyes that could say my daughter's too good for you? "Just say it, you brat."

And from there, there was silence.

He remembered ... that this was the woman who caused Ayumi utter angst and heartbreak. And Sora felt his face fall, and whatever leftover fear that was inside him was turned into defiance as he slowly straightened up.

"Yeah, I am." He spoke firmly. "I'm in love with her. She's special to me."

"And ... how long have you ... had feelings for her?"

Sora paused, feeling his cheeks burn.

"I ... I don't really know," He admitted quietly, wincing when she glanced up at him skeptically, " But I think it's been for a long time. Maybe back since grade school."

"Grade school ... which means that you've known Mariko for ... well, for most of your life."

"That's right."

With a grunt, Nagant leaned back. "Well then, you passed the test. You can date my daughter without me trying to put a bullet in you. But just so you know, kid," She turned to give him a sharp look again, "I will make you disappear if you ever think of hurting her."

Sora scoffed in return. "Trust me, I've been thinking the exact same thing about you since you told her who you really are. So the feeling's mutual."

Nagant paused. And then she scoffed as well.

Sora went quiet for a moment, not entirely sure how to bring this up - and then he let out a small sigh.

"I ... look, Ayu, she - she doesn't really know how to feel about you right now." He decided to put it bluntly, trying to push past whatever reservations he might have about the whole situation. "That bombshell you dropped on her really knocked her for a loop. She doesn't even know what's going to happen after this all end, and I know her. I don't know what caused you to leave her, but I know that she'll be even more hurt that you'll disappear from her life again, and not look back. I just ... I just want her to be happy, and she wants to know if she'll be happy if - if you're in her life."

For a few seconds, Nagant was quiet, letting Sora's words sink in. Just as he wondered if she was going to respond, she let out a small, quiet sigh, and turned to look down at her feet.

"There's a lot about me that I don't want her to know, kid." She admitted.

The Red Ranger slowly nodded, and then sighed.

"Oh. So ..." He turned away, staring off at the city, "... I guess ... you'd rather have your privacy than have your daughter's trust?"

A silence fell over them as they both turned their gazes back to the unconscious Pink Ranger.


Deep within her heart, Ayumi was floating downward into darkness, like she was sinking deeper and deeper into the bottom of the ocean. She showed no signs of struggling, and had no reason to resist. Her eyes were closed, and her body almost lifeless.

"I'm done... I don't know what to do." She told herself weakly. "Sora...everyone...I'm sorry."

"Don't give up!" Suddenly, out of nowhere, a voice was speaking to Ayumi, causing her to open her eyes, as she looked up, and saw 17 sparkling lights (15 of pink and 2 of white.) starting to descend down towards her. 

The moment they touched her, Ayumi was enveloped in a bright light that engulfed the entire realm of darkness around her.

The next moment, she found herself walking through a white void that seemed to go on forever. She had no idea what was going on. "Hello!? Is anyone here!?"

"Well, this is... remarkably white. Needs a little pink, don't you think?"

Surprised by the voice, Ayumi spun around to see a pink figure walking towards her. But once it was got closer, It was revealed to be a Pink Ranger, but not any Pink Ranger.

Her suit was pink with a skirt on it, white gloves and boots, pink diamonds on them, with matching white ones on the chest, while her helmet had a silver mouthpiece. Her visor being a heart shape, and was mostly white at the back, expect for the small lines, which made Pterodactyl wings, with its head being the top of the visor, with tiny green eyes.

Ayumi's eyes widened in shock at this, especially when the Ranger took off her helmet to show a slightly older brown-haired girl underneath. "Y-You're Kimberly Hart!" Ayumi gasped with awe and surprise in her voice. "The first Pink Ranger."

The girl, now Kimberly, smiled warmly at young girl

The girl, now known as Kimberly, smiled warmly at the young girl. "That I am. Welcome to the family, rookie. I know it's a lot right now...The darkness wants you to believe you're alone, but you're not. We've all been there in those tough times. That's why, we're not going to let you go through this alone."

The younger Ranger blinked at this. "'We'?"

As if to answer her question, Kimberly looked off to the side, causing Ayumi to do the same. There, the sparkles of light from before appear side by side and from them, emerged 14 Pink Rangers and two white Rangers walking up to the pair, taking off their helmets in the process.

Ayumi gasped loudly as her eyes lit up at this unexpected moment. "You're all...!"

Once all the Rangers stood in next to Kimberly on both sides, she turned to smile at Ayumi. "And now, we finally get to meet face to face, Ayumi Suzuni."

Chapter Text

(HF Opening Intro 2)

Once all the Rangers stood in next to Kimberly on both sides, she turned to smile at Ayumi. "And now, we finally get to meet face-to-face, New Pink."

"No way...You're the Legendary Pink Rangers...and White Rangers...!?" Ayumi asked, looking around at all of them.

"I wouldn't say Legendary on my part, but ye-- oh my goodness!" Dana Mitchell expressed as Ayumi was suddenly hyperventilating before Amelia Jones ran to her side.

 "Whoa, Whoa! Easy there, girl!" She told the HF Ranger calmly. "Deep breaths."

Ayumi let out a breath. "Sorry, it's just...You're... you're really them? Kimberly Hart? Jen Scotts? The first Pink Ranger? The Time Force leader? I only saw you all in the datascape!"

Kimberly smiled at this. "You can just call me Kim. And it looks like you've got a lot on your shoulders, rookie."

"I..." Ayumi cleared her throat. "Right, I haven't introduced myself. I'm-"

"Ayumi Suzuni. A 15-year old student from Japan and the 16th Pink Ranger. Currently attending U.A. High School, striving to be a hero using the powers of the Past Rangers." Rose responded. "It's a pleasure." 

"How do you know so much about me?" Ayumi asked her.

"I believe I can explain that." Kendrix replied as she stepped forward. "You're in the center of the Morphin Grid, a space where all Pink Rangers—past, present, and future—are connected. When a new Ranger needs us, our conscious minds converge here to offer guidance."

"The center of the Morphin Grid..."

"And we also know what's troubling you." Emma spoke up, getting the girl's attention. "You learn a shocking truth about your mom and it's been weighing on you, right?"

Ayumi then started to looked down in shame. "Are you disappointed that I'm the daughter of a cold-blooded murderer?"

"No, sweetie, we're not." Karone walked over and placed a hand on the girl's shoulder. "But is that what you believe? Or are you scared to learn more about your past? Take it from me. I used to be Astronema, the Queen of Evil. I led fleets to destroy planets."

"And I once served Rita Repulsa." Katherine commented. "Trust me, being the daughter of a  villain doesn't mean you are evil, Ayumi."

"Kat is right." Jen agreed as she stepped forward, arms crossed, looking intense but understanding. "But the Grid doesn't care about your lineage. It cares about your conviction. You're hesitant."

Ayumi looked down and clenched her fists. "How can I not be? My entire life, everyone has been lying to me, all because they thought they knew what was best for me! Even before I knew, I never had a family."

Amelia smiled at her. "I get it. My parents were villains too—well, they were corrupted, but I was raised by someone totally different! Now I'm a Ranger! The people who matter will trust you based on your actions, not your last name."

"Pink isn't just a color, and it definitely isn't just about being 'sweet'." Cassie chimed in. "It's about tenacity. If you have the guts to stand against your own blood for what's right, you're more of a Ranger than most."

Ayumi, feeling a little choked up, then asked. "But what if I'm not strong enough? I mean, I nearly gave up before you all showed up. What if that darkness is still in me?"

Sarah then joined in. "Then you use that strength to protect others. We are the 'glue' of our teams. Use your perspective to see the things others miss. Your past is just the ground you're standing on; where you go from here is up to you."

Vida scoffed as she folded her arms. "Look, the past is the past. If you're a Pink Ranger, you're part of the team, and you don't back down. Just make sure you stay true to yourself and don't let anyone hold you back."

"Being a Ranger is all about drive." Shelby nodded, holding up a fist. "Forget about the 'villain's daughter' label. You're here to fight for the future. Just dive in and do your best."

 "Don't be afraid to get your nails dirty." Syd told Ayumi with a wink. "You're going to be great."

"No matter how dark it gets, you keep moving forward. You're a Power Ranger now—the best of us." Alyssa added in.

Ayumi's eyes widened in realization. She hadn't realized it, but the repetition of Nelo's words were starting to get to her, confusing her, even causing her to become even more emotionally broken. She was losing herself to them, but now she wasn't gonna let it get to her again.

Soon, all the memories she shared with Sora and the others came flooding through her mind. The friends they made, the battles they won, the villains they defeated, and the laughter and joy they shared. 

Finally, she started to think back to the time when she was playing with her mother as a child. They would have fun together when her dad wasn't busy with his business. They would usually go to the park, where Naomi would push Ayumi while she was on the swings. She then started to think about her father, Shiro. Though he was tough on her to become successful, he did show signs of care for her when she succeeded in her grades. The smile on his face when they were together was always nostalgic. All the memories of her family brought Ayumi to the realization; even though they weren't her biological family, they were the ones who raised her. They were the ones who made her who she was today.

She looks down at her Morpher in silence as her fellow Rangers watch her.

Kimberly stepped in front of her. "Your story may not have such a happy beginning, but that does not make you who you are. It's the rest of it - who you choose to be." She told the younger girl. "So then...who are you?"

Ayumi lowered her Morpher-clad arm as her hair shadowed her eyes. "When I found out about who I really am... I thought my whole life was just a lie. A stain. I felt like I was just waiting to fall into despair, like it was in my blood. But you... you all showed me that it's not about where I come from. It's about the team I stand with now. My bloodline doesn't define who I am. The Pink Ranger power chose me because I am willing to fight for this world, even if I have to fight my own blood to protect it. I have the power to choose." She looked up to show her face, her eyes were fierce with determination and resolve.

"I am Ayumi, and I am the Pink Ranger. My heart is not corrupted—it's just getting started!"

The past Pink and White Rangers all smiled in approval upon hearing her speech. 

Just then, Ayumi's body started to glow brightly. "What's happening to me?" She asked, startled by the sudden glow.

"It seems like you were given the advice needed to continue," Dana replied. "Now, you will go back to where you were before."

"Wait, I still have so much to say!" Ayumi yelled out before being approached by Kendrix.

"I'm sure you do, but how about we save this conversation for when we both have time for it? You've got bigger things to worry about right now." The Galaxy Ranger told her.

Soon, Mia, Emma, Shelby, and Ameila all said their peace respectively.

"Trust in the spirit of the ancestors, but trust in yourself most of all." 

 "Never stop protecting the world, no matter how small it seems."

"Get ready for a wild ride, rookie. Make us proud!"

"You are never alone. We are always in your corner!"

"Also, we'll be rooting for your relationship with that cute Sora boy!" Syd teased, gaining a blush from the current Pink.

Finally the vestiges stood as one, echoing in unison. "Pink Power! Once a Ranger, Always a Ranger."

The pink light from Ayumi began to shine, brighter; completely engulfing her in a bright pink light and obscuring her view of everything.


Suddenly, a soft, unnatural light begins to spread from Ayumi's chest, faint at first, like embers under her skin, then blooming brighter with every heartbeat. It was as if she was on fire, but it wasn't burning her, it was transforming her.

Her hair lifts slightly, as if caught in a gentle current that doesn't exist. Strands begin to change at the tips first; blonde tones giving way to streaks of purple that spread upward in slow, fluid waves.


Back in the real world, Sora and Nagant gasped in shock as they saw what looked like ashes coming off of Ayumi's hair, as it slowly transformed from blond hair into purple while also keeping the pink streaks in her hair. 

 "Ayumi?" Sora asked concernedly, as he held her face, then Ayumi blinks slowly. Her gaze is unfocused at first, then sharpens as it locks onto Sora's face. 

 "S-Sora?" she asks in response, her voice thin, like she's just come back from somewhere far away. "Is that... really you?" 

 Sora tightens his grip slightly, steadying her as if she might slip away again. "Yeah. I'm here. You're okay."

Ayumi puts a hand on her forehead, as she looks around the place she and Sora was currently in.

"Are we in a old werehouse?" The Pink Ranger asked, as Sora nodded. 

"Yeah, we are but we're not that far from U.A." 

 "Wait! What happened with Nelo!" Ayumi said, practically screaming as she looked around.

"Don't worry, Rei and the others are handling him." Sora reassured her with a smile before looking away with a small blush on his face. "So, about your hair...."

Ayumi raised an eyebrow in confusion. "My hair? Why would you mention my-" She paused her question when she used her hand to move a lock of her hair and saw that it was purple instead of blonde.

Being curious, she reached into her pocket, took out her phone, and went into the camera app to see that her hair had changed from being blonde back its original purple color (with the pink streaks still being visible).

Ayumi was so surprised by this that she turned off her phone and put it back in her pocket. "I can't believe my hair went back to looking like this." She muttered to herself before looking back at Sora. "I guess you actually hate my hair looking like this now, huh?"

"W-What? No way!" Sora replied firmly, shocked that Ayumi would assume that. "Ayumi, I didn't say that I hate it; I actually like it like that. Seriously, it's a good look for you."

"O-oh...!" Ayumi looked at him in surprise with a small blush on her face. "You really mean it?"

Sora nodded in response. "Of course I do. Not only does your hair now match your eyes, it also brings out the purple in them."

"Mariko."

Hearing the name, Ayumi turned around to see Nagant giving her a concern look. "Are you okay?"

"Huh? Oh, uh -" Ayumi shook her head, being quickly taken out of her thoughts and stood up to her feet with Sora's help. "-yeah, I'm- I'm fine. I'm just... feeling the adrenaline starting to wear off from my fight with Nelo."

"I get that," Nagant nodded slightly, her expression softening just a smidge. "but I was thinking more along the lines of your injuries. Are you okay?"

"I-I'll live," She sighed, using her hand to wipe at her cheek and feeling relieved that it was no longer burning. 

"Right..."

Ayumi found herself falling silent for a moment- and then she sighed, and glanced up at the woman.

"Listen, I... I don't know how I feel about you yet. I mean, finding out about the adoption, learning that you're my real mom... it's still a lot for me to take in. I still have so many things I want to say, but I need to know right now. You were the best sniper in Japan. You were supposed to fight evil, only to fall from grace—was it easier for you to drop the gun or to drop me?"

Sora's eyes widened in surprise from Ayumi's sudden demeanor, especially at how she was handling the truth than before.

Nagant looked at her with shaken eyes, as she looked away at first before looking back at Ayumi. She was struggling on the right words, before a moment passed. As she took deep breaths and said. 

 "It was easier to drop the gun...but you? Giving you up, was the hardest thing to do... it almost broke me completely."

Ayumi looked at her mother in silence.

"I don't have much time to tell you," Nagant took a deep breath. "and it'll take forever to explain everything. Once those agents catch up to me, they're not gonna let me out of their sight. But Mariko - it's bad. It would - it would change everything. I can't go into it with you right now, because I'm not sure if the HPSC has me bugged. But you need to listen to me, Mariko ..."

She leaned forward slightly, and Ayumi stared up in surprise as her mother gave her a sharp look.

"... you," She said, being sure to glare into her eyes. "are never going to doubt that I want to be your mom ever again. You hear me?"

"I - uh -"

"You have no idea how hard this is," Nagant, against her will, felt her voice crack a bit as she turned to look down at her feet, while Ayumi stared at her in shock. "I just ... I want to tell you everything, but I - I can't. Not right now. Not because you wouldn't understand, but because they won't give us the time."

"They -" Sora furrowed his brow, mind racing in confusion. "- do you mean the HPSC?"

"Yes," Nagant nodded, frowning at him with a serious look on her face. "they're the enemy. Don't forget that."

Before the two Rangers could question Nagant more, Sora's Morpher started beeping in alert.

"Cap!" Kiba's voice yelled through the device. "We need help! This guy is pulling a reverse UNO play on us!"

"Wait, what about Ayumi?" Came Cyrus' voice.

"Don't worry, she's fine." Sora responded. "In fact, we're on our way now."

After that, he ended the call and looked over at Ayumi. "You up for this?"

"Like you even have to ask." Ayumi remarked, making Sora smile as he turns to Nagant.

"What about you? Are you going to stay and help, because you did say you were here to help."

"Helping her." Nagant eyed Ayumi specifically in response. "But mostly to get back at that freak for what he did to Mariko."

"Fair enough. Let's move!"


Nelo then dived towards the Rangers, then sent a slash at Kiba, who blocked it with his Tiger Claw, then Nelo spun around and landed on the ground. He dodged a slash from Ryutei, then blocked a slash from Cyrus' Power Lance.

"Yah!" Cyrus yelled as he pulled back, then Nelo blocked a slash from Reina, before she backed away to dodge a kick from him. He then kicked Kiba's Tiger Claw as he tried to slash him, then put his sword under his arm to block Ryutei, then he spun his "cape" around as Reina tried to kick him, making Ryutei pull back. Nelo then kicked Reina in the chest, sending him flying towards a car, hitting its side.

"AH!" she moaned, with sparks flying from the impact.

Nelo knocked Cyrus' Power Lancer down, then he slashed Cyrus across the chest.

"AGH!" The Blue Ranger moaned before Nelo then grabbed Cyrus glaring at him.

"Begone, flith!" he snarled and threw the Ranger away as he turned around.

Cyrus slammed into a building, and then fell down and hit the roof of a car.

"AH!" he moaned, rolling off it. His suit lit up brightly as he lay on his back, clutching his chest, before he de-morphed.

"UH!" he moaned.

"Cy!" Kiba jumped onto another car with his Mega Blaster. "That's it! Mega Blaster, fire!"

He fired several shots at Nelo, but missed as Nelo kicked Reina in the chest, knocking her back.

After that, the monster turned and jumped towards the car as Kiba turned and fired again, only for Nelo to kick the Mega Blaster out of his hands.

"Uh!" Kiba grunted while ducking as Nelo tried to slash him, then he grabbed the Yellow Ranger's fist as he tried to punch him, before punching him in the chest.

"OH!" he moaned.

Nelo then kicked him in the chest, sending him flying to the ground and crashing into some rubble.

"AGHH!" Kiba moaned as his suit lit up brightly, before he de-morphed.

Reina stepped forward with her Chromafury Saber pointed at Nelo. "I've had enough of you!"

The monster turned to face her. "Do your worst." He dared.

"Gladly!" The Green Ranger said before opening the hatch on her Dino Fury Battle Belt, then grabs the Tiger Dino Key with her right hand and held it up. "Tiger Key, ready!" She shouted while unfolding the key into a small knight and inserting it into the Chromafury Saber, which made the dinosaur head's eyes flash green for a brief moment, before using the lever handle to quickly close and open the mouthpiece a few times.

Reina then held the lever handle on her weapon forward with her left hand, before closing and reopening the dinosaur mouth a few times, as power was building up around the Ranger before raising her sword up back in a reverse position, with a giant clear green energy projection of the Tiger Claw Zord manifesting behind the hero. Then the Green Dino Fury Ranger gathers all of the green energy projection into her blade to form an energy projection on the weapon's blade.

"Tiger Fury Strike!" Reina shouted while swinging her blade down to execute an extremely powerful energy slash attack that takes the form of the Tiger Claw Zord's head, which lets out a mighty roar and leaves a trail of destruction on the ground's surface.

The Tiger Claw Zord's head flew around the street like a speeding bullet at Nelo, who merely held up his katana with disinterest.

"Weak." Was all he said before bringing his weapon down, cleaving the projection in half as the sailed past him and hit the ground in a large explosion.

"What!?" Reina gasped in shock from her attack being stopped.

"Was that all?" Nelo scoffed at her. "Let me show you a real attack!"

He gripped his katana and in a flash he got close to Reina. He took one swipe, and Reina was instantly knocked back, yelling in pain. 

"Arrrgh!" She screamed as sparks flew off her.

Before she hit the ground, Nelo snapped his fingers, and five pillars of fire enveloped Reina as she howled in pain. When the pillars disappeared, Reina was seen flying backwwards.

"AGHH!" she yelled, flipping through the air. She then hit the side of a truck, before hitting the ground on her back.

"UH!" she moaned, rolling onto her chest. Her suit lit up brightly, before she de-morphed.

"UHH!" she moaned. "Damnit...!"

Nelo huffed in disappoinment as he began to approach her, as Reina glared at him, when blasts hit the ground around him.

"AGH!" he yelped, as sparks came up all around him.

He turned around and saw Ryutei, still morphed as the Magna Defender, jump over and tried to slash him with his Magna Sword, but Nelo launch up into the air to avoid the attack. Rytuei jumped up and the two clashed swords in the air.

"Ryutei! Get him!" Kiba shouted. 

Cyrus gasped when he saw that Ryutei was pushed back towards a wall, only for him to jump off it, and soared even higher into the air. Nelo climbed up to meet him. Rytuei turned and the two met swords again. Nelo continuously flew around Ryutei, slashing from every angle. Ryutei barely held on, blocking every attack with his Magna Sword. Nelo went above him and downward slashed him. Ryutei blocked it, but was pushed back to the ground once more, where he landed on his feet. He made a run for a nearby building, ran along it, and jumped to meet Nelo's attack. The two crossed paths in the air, and they landed onto different sides of the area.

Nelo disappeared in a black portal, before reappearing behind Rytuei again. The Sixth Ranger saw this, and blocked the attack. He did this repeatedly from every angle, each backslash faster than the next. Ryutei continuously blocked all of them, repelling the attack with nothing but brute force. He met the final strike with vengeance, and the two engaged in a furious clash of swords, now faster than before. In fact, the attack was so fast, that their swords were barely recognizable. The others watched with baited breath as the two clashed, their power sending dust clouds billowing from underneath them. Ryutei parried a strike, and leapt into the air to perform an aerial somersault as his sword charged up with blue energy.

"Energy Chop!" He called out, delivering an energized slash against Nelo, who leapt back from the attack.

Ryutei readied himself once again. "Ready to give up?" He growled.

"I admit that you're quite formidable." Nelo complimented him, "But I wonder if you will be able to avoid this." He spread his "cape", and he started floating in the air. Rytuei wondered what he was planning next, and he readied his Magna Sword to defend himself.

"Descend...Shattered..." Nelo chanted with his katana rised. "Heaven!"

He instantly started to summon multiple meteors from nowhere, before sending them all towards Rtyuei. 

"What the hell...!?" Reina gaped in shock.

Ryutei instantly moved as a trail of explosions from which the meteors made contact to the ground followed him. He darted around the street, which was already devastated. Everyone else took cover as the explosions came near them. As Ryutei ran, he realized that he could not outrun them. He turned and saw more meteors come his way. There was no way of avoiding this. Rytuei roared in fury as one by one, he started slashing at the meteors, reflecting them and slashing them in two, the explosions appeared all around him, and he was succumbed to the smoke and rubble around him. Nelo ceased firing, and he landed on the edge of the broken crater. With one swipe of his sword, he quickly blew away all of the smoke, to see Ryutei standing there, unmorphed while covered in burns and bruises, breathing heavily, but still alive.

"Damn it...!" He breathed out.

Everyone came out of hiding once the smoke cleared to see the two combatants standing there.

Nelo smirked a bit, then dashed at Ryutei, his katana raised when...

BANG!

A loud gunshot rang out from across the street and blasted directly into Nelo's left eye.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!"

As Nelo screamed and grabbed at his face, the others were taken back from the sudden attack, wondering where it came from.

Suddenly, two blurs arrived at the scene, then streaked around the area, before they dove towards Nelo.

"Hyah!" They yelled, kicking Nelo in the chest and sending him flying away.

"AHH!" he yelled, crashing into some debris.

The two blurs landed crouched down, revealing to be Sora and Ayumi, now morphed into their HF Ranger modes.

"What do you think you are doing?" Ayumi asked softly, glaring up at the spot Nelo crashed into. "Leave my friends...alone!" 

"Sora! Ayumi!" Cyrus called out, surprised to see the morphed duo.

"You're okay!" Kiba said optimistically.

"Ayu..." Reina uttered in shock.

Said pair turned to see their friends. "Guys! Are you okay!?" Ayumi asked, running over towards them with Sora.

"Fine now!" Kiba  replied with a smile on his face.

"Wow, you guys look like crap." Sora blurted out.

Nelo looked up and gasped in shock at seeing Ayumi standing there. "It can't be!" He exclaimed, getting the team's attention as he stood up. "I broke you! You shouldn't be moving! This is impossible!"

Ayumi brought out her Hero weapon and glared at the monster. "I know what you were trying to do, Nelo. You were trying to get under my skin to make me helpless. Well, it won't work on me again!" Sora glanced over to her. "I spent so much time overthinking things that I forgot who I actually am. But now, I don't care! I don't care if I'm not a real Suzuni! Nor do I care that I'm the daughter of a proclaimed villain! And if that makes me an enemy of humanity, so be it! I'll be the worst girl who ever lived! Because I know who I am!"

She stood firmly and pointed her Sky Bowgun at him. "I'm the Champion of the Forests! Hero Force Pink! And you're the one who's about to be history!"

Everyone was surprised to hear her speech. Cyrus, Reina, and Kiba were especially surprised. Nagant couldn't help but smile at her daughter's conviction. Even Ryutei, who emerged from the crater, smirked in response. Sora felt proud as well of Ayumi.

 "Guys, do me a favor..." Ayumi spoke to her team. "Let me deal with Nelo. I have a score to settle with him." 

"Say what!?" Kiba exclaimed, his jaw dropping in shock.

"Ayumi, no!" Cyrus cried out in worry.

"Have you lost your mind!?" Reina yelled. "Did you forget what he did to you!? You can't fight this guy alone!"

"Guys, trust me." Ayumi said, as she turns around to face her nemesis. "Because right now, I'm taking lead."

"But...Cap, talk to her!" Kiba yelled at Sora, gesturing to the Pink Ranger.

Sora looked at Ayumi, who looked at him, while bearing a determined expression behind her visor. 

"Do you to trust me?" She asked him.

"I.." Sora struggled to say, but started to smile once more behind his helmet. "You know I do."

"Hmph, nonsense." Nelo sassed at her. "I don't know how you were able to regain yourself, but in the end, it doesn't matter. You're still a pitiful girl playing hero behind her friends."

"Shut up!" Sora barked. "Ayu has more than enough strength and determination than you think! She can take you down easily!"

"You mean if she's with you all." Nelo stated, "If she has her friends to protect her, she will have the power to beat me. But on her own? There's nothing she can do on her own."

"You don't know anything about her!" Sora retorted. "If she was really that weak, would I trust her to be able to fight on her own? Ayumi is as powerful as me and the others!"

 "Sora..." Ayumi was surprised at how much trust he had in her fighting strength. Of course he did. Sora never once thought of her as an underdog, but as his equal.

"Pitiful!" Nelo stated, "If she doesn't have the strength, then there's no point in her trying to fight-" But his sentence was stopped by several pink blasts which sent Nelo skidding backwards. He looked up to see Ayumi standing there, her Sky Bowgun aimed at him and its muzzle smoking from the shots.

"I'm sorry. But weren't you saying something about me not having the strength?" 

"You little..." Nelo sneered before he charged at her, katana at the ready. Ayumi's eyes flashed, featuring pink eyes for only a second before reverting back to purple. Nelo struck, but to his and everyone's amazement, Ayumi flew backwards, spinning away from the attack, and coming around with an attack of her own, kicking him in the chest. She kept her foot on him as he went flying back, before kicking him repeatedly, before backflipping away as he crashed into a pile of debris.

After that, she glided down and released a barrage of pink shots from her Sky Bowgun, sending Nelo flying. He flipped in midair to land on his feet, but he was still surprised. 

"That girl's just full of surprises." Ryutei stated.

"She sure surprised me." Sora stated, looking at her.

"Go for it, Ayu!" Kiba cheered.

"Take him down." Cyrus told her.

"Kick his ass!" Reina shouted.

Ayumi nodded and said, "You got it."

"Oh, please." Nelo sighed. "All the hearts in the world won't be able to get you any stronger. You're just wasting your energy!"

"You're wrong about that." Ayumi retorted, stopping Nelo. "I have more than enough strength to conquer any adversary that comes my way, even you. And it's the same reason why I'm going to beat you!"

"Very well then. Let's see what kind of strength these hearts give you!" Nelo said, readying himself.

"I plan to!" Ayumi replied, and her whole body started to emit a bright pink aura.

"What!?" Nelo uttered in shock.

Ayumi flicked her weapon down, and through the other Rangers' eyes, they saw Ayumi standing there, and the ghostly images of every Pink Ranger and two White Rangers standing behind her, "I'm sick of your nonsense!" Their voices, along with Ayumi, shouted. "This ends now! Power of the Skies!"

Ayumi spread her arms out to create a ring of pink Glyphs on the floor, surrounding Nelo on all sides. 

"What is this!?" He demanded.

Ayumi was the first to move in, stepping onto a glyph and allowing herself to be propelled towards Nelo, striking him with her Sky Bowgun as she appeared on the other side of the Glyph-ring. Soon, the Legendary Pink/White Rangers moved in next, joining Ayumi as they all went one-at-a-time to speed, slash, and strike him, creating blurs of pink and white at the very middle, leaving Nelo unable to defend himself before all 18 Rangers came in all at once, forming a beautiful, pink Phoenix spirit.

"Eternal Pink!" Ayumi shouted as the Phoenix slammed right into Nelo, creating an explosive, multi-colored flash as he went hurling into the ground in a massive dust cloud.

"ARRRRGH!"

The attack unleashed a powerful shockwave and the team had to endure the swirling gust of wind that passed them.

Ayumi landed on her feet and let out a breath. "Thank you." she chanted as the silhouettes of the Legdenary Pink/White Rangers faded away. She looked to Nelo, who was as still as he could be. She had just defeated him.

(End music)

"Ayumi!" Sora's voice made her turn her head to Kiba, Cyrus, and Sora (the former two still unmorphed) running up to her in excitement.

"Way to go, Ayumi!" Cyrus cheered.

Sora placed a hand on Ayumi's shoulder, and she looked at him. "You were amazing out there, Ayu." he told her. Ayumi smiled happily in response.

"I couldn't have done it without your guys' support." she responded.

"That was such a cool attack!" Cyrus exclaimed, geeking out. "Also, were those the Legendary Pink/White Rangers? How did you do that?"

Ayumi thought for a second, then answered with, "I can't really say for sure, but I guess they just responded to my heart in some way."

"Well, whatever the case, remind me not to get on your bad side." Kiba joked as he gently nudged her.

Suddenly, Reina marched straight up to the Pink Ranger with an unreadable expression, getting her attention.

"Rei, are you okay?  That fight must've been difficult for yo-"

SMACK!

"Ahh!"

Ayumi was immediately smacked on the back of her helmet by a very furious Reina. "What the hell!? How come you didn't contact us!? Do you know how worried we were when you just up and ran off like that without saying anything!?" The greenette exploded in anger.

"I..." Ayumi was startled by Reina's anger before she looked down in guilt. "I'm sorry...It was so shocking that I couldn't think straight."

Reina then pulled Ayumi into a giant hug. "Don't you ever leave like that again, you hear me? Or else I'm gonna smack you senseless!" 

 "Rei, are you crying?"

 "N-no, shut up, Suzuni."

The boys watched as the girls had their moment before Ryutei addressed Sora and Ayumi. "And I assume that you two were responsible for that shot?"

Reina and Ayumi broke their hug as Sora shook his head. "No, it wasn't us."

 Ayumi stepped forward. "Let's just say that we had help from an... unlikely ally."


Back on the roof of a building, Nagant watched the scene with a smile on her face as she couldn't help but be proud of how her daughter handled herself against that monster. 

After wiping a tear from her eye with her knuckle, she turned her around, but not before looking over her shoulder to look at her daughter again. 'Take care of yourself, baby girl.' After that, she turned her head back around and began to walk away from where she was standing.


"Raahh!" Nelo yelled, bursting from the ground and throwing some debris aside.

The Rangers turned to him as it hit the floor near them.

"I will not accept this!" He roared in anger. "I WILL NOT BE HUMILIATED BY HUMAN TRASH!"

"Let's save this for later, because right now... We have a monster to stop." Cyrus declared, getting the team to tense up for a fight.

"If unleashing my true power means destroying every last human on this planet- including you Power Rangers- and bringing back the Ultima to Lady Alsatia... then SO BE IT!" Nelo declared, letting out his inner power without hesitation and holding his hand high into the sky, as he was soon engulfed in a red light.

Then, out of nowhere, thunder crackled above the city with red electrical energy flashing across the air before shaping itself into a gigantic red orb hovering in the sky. It was solidified and round, covered by a surge of red energy that rippled from its form, and trembled as if it could collapse in on itself at any moment.

"What is that?" Ryutei questioned, looking up at the orb.

The Rangers, however, narrowed their eyes in realization. "He's going big!" Reina replied bluntly.

"Pfft!" Kiba snickered lowly.

"Not the time!" Cyrus berated the Yellow Ranger.

"Igeron did the same thing..." Ayumi said, recalling their final battle at the USJ before her eyes widened behind her helmet. "We need to stop him before he destroys the entire city!"

"But, isn't our Megazord down right now?" Sora thought aloud as he remembered what happened to the Paladin Hero Megazord.

Hearing that caused the other Rangers to slump down in despair and defeat while Ryutei looked away from the group as he was uncomfortably reminded of what he and his Megazord did before he officially joined the HF team.

They were brought out of their thoughts as a  gigantic version of Nelo burst through the orb and plummeted to the ground below. This resulted in a earth-shaking tremor as the monster landed on the ground.

Like Igeron, he had gone through his own new transfomation. Like a grim symphony rising in a crescendo of frightful wickness and what could only be described as pure evil. A gigantic, kaiju-sized humanoid demon with a muscular physique, black skin, two curved horns, sharp fangs, sharp claws and glowing yellow eyes. He also has enormous bat-like wings and his wingspan is larger than he is tall.

Sora pressed his morpher as it beeped."I hope this is good news." he said, bringing it up to his face 

 "Very good." Katrina replied. 


 (Command Chamber)

 Katrina stood by the center panel, staring at the screen.

"Your Zords are now repaired and fully functional once again." she explained with a grin.


 (With the team)

 The others all stared at Sora in suprise.

 "What? Awesome!" Cyrus said, holding his thumb up. 

 "Hell yeah!" Reina grinned. 

 "Go, Rangers, and teach that monster a lesson!" Alpha told them. 

 "Music to my ears, Al!" Kiba laughed.They all turned and ran forward slightly before they stopped as Reina, Cyrus, and Kiba all held up their Morphers.

They pressed the red Morph button on their morphers, causing them to start glowing black, blue, and yellow. They then thrusted their left arms out together. "Call of the Hero!" The team shouted in unison as they pulled their left arms back and used their right hands to spin the Morphers' top half at the same time. 


(Morph Sequence - HF)

The screen split into three, Reina in the middle, Cyrus on the left,  and Kiba on the right. The backgrounds changes to their respective elemental terrain as their Zords appeared in front of the Rangers. They all flew forward with ease, merging with their Zords which created their Ranger suits around them from their necks to their feet. They all somersaulted through the air before landing in their positions, then their helmets appeared on them. Then they did their poses as their elements burst behind them.

"Hero Force Rangers!" they shouted.

(End morph sequence)


Seeing this, Ryutei smirked and looked down at his own Morpher. "Hmph. Might as well get in on the action." He said, holding his gauntlet device up horizontally to his face as the core popped open.

"Paladin Protocol, Engage!" He shouted before the slamming the core down, becoming engulfed in a burst of cyan light.


(Morph Sequence - HF)

Ryutei crossed his arms before holding his morpher-clad arm up high as the background changes to a frozen arctic land. He then launched high into the sky as the spirit of a cyan Dragon flew from underneath him while roaring, before bitting down on his body and creating his Ranger outfit from his neck to feet.

As he landed on top of a moutain peak, Ryutei's helmet formed on his head with a black visor while a powerful blizzard started blowing in the background, as he posed.

(End morph sequence)


Once they were all morphed up, the team stood together to perform their fighting poses.

"Alright guys, let's take it to the Zords!" Sora spoke with his teammates as they held up their Morphers and sent their respective colors into the sky to open up five gigantic portals of red, black, blue, yellow, and pink.

"WE NEED PALADIN ZORD POWER, NOW!"


Command Chamber: Zord Hangar

Meanwhile, in the Zord Hangar, the Paladin Zords heard the call right before their eyes lit up. A portal opens up in front of each individual Zord as the mechanical beasts began to move.

The Condor Paladin Zord screeched as it flew through the red portal.

The Bull Paladin Zord then let out a moo and ran through the black portal.

The Stallion Paladin Zord neighed loudly and galloped through the blue portal.

The Lion Paladin Zord roared fierecly as it ran through the yellow portal.

The Swan Paladin Zord whistled as it flew through the pink portal.

Once all Zords were through, the portals all closed up behind them. While they were traveling through the portal, the Zords all let out various roars, screeches, and moos. The Lion Zord in the center, the Bull Zord on the right, the Condor Zord above the Bull Zord. The Stallion Zord on the left side of the Lion Zord, and the Swan Zord flew above the Stallion Zord. The Paladin Zords roared as one upon seeing the end of the tunnel.


The Paladin Ranger then thrusted up his Morpher-clad arm. "Crusader Zords, arise!" he shouted, as the Morpher let out a humming sound.


Suddenly, a swirling of clouds gathered in the sky as the Dragon Crusader Zord emerged from them and let out a roar before taking off through the sky.

After that, the Wolf Crusader Zord jumped on top of a glacier cliff, and then howled loudly as it ran through the land.


Soon, all seven Zords raced above the buildings, then the Lion, Wolf, Bull, and Stallion Zords landed on the ground and ran towards the battle, with the Condor, Dragon and Swan Zords flying above them, all letting out animals noises.

"Hero Force, let's move!" Sora whooped.

The Rangers all jumped up and landed in their Zords cockpits, powering everything up.

"Paladin Hero Megazord!" The Rangers shouted all together. "Zords Combine!"


MEGAZORD SEQUENCE

The Paladin Zords all began moving forward, all roaring or screeching in the process.

The Bull Zord mooed before it raised itself up on its hind legs before it retracted its limbs into itself, then its torso opened up and swiveled outward, forming the legs. The Condor Zord then landed on top of it as its wings widened gracefully, forming the torso.

The Stallion Zord came up on its right, while the Lion Zord came up on its left, and retracted their limbs into themselves as they attached themselves to the Condor Zord, forming the arms.

The Swan Zord flew down, with its butt detaching from the rest of it. Its head attached itself to the back as the butt formed a head with a crown, forming the Paladin Hero Megazord. Its wings detached themselves from the body and attaching themselves to the Condor Zord's wings.

The Rangers all sat in the cockpit- in the front: Sora in the in the middle, with Reina on his left and Cyrus on his right. In the back: Kiba on the left and Ayumi on the right.

Then, from outside of the Rangers' cockpit, the Megazord's eyes flashed gold for a brief moment.

"Paladin Hero Megazord!" The five Hero Force Rangers shouted in sync with the Megazord transformation complete, as the Megazord spun around in the air to strike a cool pose before the sun shined brightly behind the Megazord, giving it an epic glow. "Ready to defend!" The Rangers announced proudly out loud.

MEGAZORD SEQUENCE END


"My turn." The Paladin Ranger said as he then inputted some commands into his Morpher before putting his Morpher-clad arm next to his mouth and holding his other arm out in the direction of his Zords. "Crusader Zords, combine!" 


MEGAZORD SEQUENCE

The Wolf Zord howled before it ran forward as the Dragon Zord flew over the right side of the Wolf Zord. The Dragon Zord let out a loud roar before it landed on the ground and stood up on its hind legs, which they then straightened to become humanoid legs. The arms retracted themselves inwards, then the Dragon Zord's head and neck separately detached themselves from the body and moved to attach themselves to the right side of the body (the neck forming the right arm and the dragon head forming the right shoulder guard) as a hand emerged from the neck. The Wolf Zord then jumped up and retracted its limbs inwards before attaching itself to the left side of the body, then a hand emerged from the Wolf Zord's body. Then, a head shot up from the top of the Dragon Zord's body with a horn emerging from the top of the head. Finally, it huffed before it raised its arms upwards as the Crusader Zords finished forming the Typhon Megazord.

MEGAZORD SEQUENCE END


In the cockpit, three ice crystals laid on a podium with a teal circle on it, then the Paladin Ranger showed up in a seat, and put his hands onto the podium.

"Typhon Megazord, awaken!" he shouted, crossing his fists over his chest, before putting them down.

The Typhon Megazord and the Paladin Hero Megazord nodded at each other, before looking back at their foe in preparation.

Chapter Text

(HF Opening Intro 2)

The Typhon Megazord and the Paladin Hero Megazord nodded at each other, before looking back at their foe in preparation.

"Okay, Rangers! This next part is going to take a team effort!" Sora said to his friends, as they saw the giant monster now hovering over them. "So let's make this demon regret ever coming here to challenge the Power Rangers Hero Force!" He spoke in a tone that motivated the others to give this fight everything they've had.

"Right!" The other Rangers shouted back in passion.

"Come! Give it your best shot!" Nelo roared loudly in anger at the Rangers, spreading his arms out widely.

"Be careful what you ask for!" Reina snarled, clutching her fist.

"Ryutei, we'll go in first and give you an opening!" Cyrus told the Paladin Ranger.

"Alright, make it count." Ryutei replied back.

In response to this, the Paladin Hero Megazord also ran forward rowards its opponent, before raising its sword up as the blade's hilt started to glow bright gold as a giant version of the Hero Force logo appeared behind the Megazord.

"Mane Saber!" The Hero Force Rangers shouted together. "Justice Strike!"

The Paladin Hero Megazord then charges forward to swing its blade to unleash a powerful diagonal energy slash towards Nelo's chest with all its power...

...Only for the attack to land, but not a single ounce of damage was done.

"Is that all?" Nelo sneered darkly.

"Ahh!" The Rangers gasped in shock that their attack did nothing.

"What!?" Sora yelled in disbelief.

"I am far different than what you fools have faced before." Nelo growled, before he fired a blast from his hand, which hit the Paladin Hero Megazord, sending sparks into the cockpit.

"AGHHH!" Sora moaned.

"AH!" Cyrus moaned.

"UH!" Reina grunted.

"AGHH!" Kiba moaned.

"AH!" Ayumi yelped.

"That's real power." Nelo told them.

"Are you sure about that?" Ryutei's voice called out, causing Nelo to look up and see the Typhon Megazord launching right at him before it rammed into Nelo with its arm, sending him flying away. He managed to regain his balance however, and then turned back to both Megazords.

"Arrgh!" Nelo grunted before glaring with rage as the Typhon Megazord landed between him and the Rangers. "You...!"

"You look pretty pissed." Ryutei snarked, rolling his shoulders. "What do you say we cool you off?"

The air around the Typhon Megazord turned razor-cold. Frost crawled up its arms as shards of ice gathered, drawn inward until its entire body shimmered like frozen glass. It then slammed its fists together. "Winter Fang!" The Paladin Ranger yelled out.

The impact rang like cracking steel, and the ground answered. Spikes of ice burst upward in every direction, tall and jagged, forming a circle around their opponent; a forest of glacial fangs. Snow and frost spiraled through the air as the columns loomed, sealing off escape.

He crossed his arms sharply. As the towering spikes lurched inward all at once, closing like jaws snapping shut.

"Child's play!" Nelo said, before he reared his head back and then lurched forward, unleashing a stream of fire from his mouth. The flames met the ice attack head on, causing a large cloud of steam to fly through the city.

The Paladin Hero Megazord joined the Typhon Megazord's side as they all saw the steam vanish and the demon before them rising again with his arms crossed, utterly unfazed. "This guy..." Kiba muttered with a gulp in his throat. "He's probably the toughest enemy we've facing right now."

"Maybe, but we can't give up now!" Ayumi declared firmly.

Soon, Nelo raised one of his hands up in the air, causing flames to rise up around his body. "Yes! I can feel it." he said. "Tremendous power!"

His wings began to spread out as he laughed, before soaring towards both Megazords.

"Oh, no!" Sora gasped. "Hold on, guys!"

Nelo swooped past both Megazords, hitting them both with one of his wings, making sparks come out of them as they turned around.

"AGHHH!" the Rangers moaned.

Both Megazords stared at Nelo as he hovered above the ground and laughed. "This is the end, Rangers! Yield!"

"No way in hell that's not gonna happen!" Reina retorted.

The Paladin Hero Megazord marched towards Nelo.

"Then we'll do it the hard way!" Nelo snarled, flapping his wings.

A whirlwind came out of each of his wings, which hit and blew the Paladin Hero Megazord back.

"AGHH!" Cyrus and Reina moaned.

 It fell backwards, skidding along the ground, before it turned around and crashed into a tower, shattering a lot of glass.

"AGHHH!" the Rangers yelped.

Nelo laughed as he sent another whirlwind from both his wings, as the Typhon Megazord got in front of the Paladin Hero Megazord, making sparks come out of it.

"Arrgh! Damnit!" Ryutei spat out.

"This isn't working!" Reina called out. "Even with two Megazords, we're getting our shit rocked!"

"There's gotta be something we can do!" Ayumi panicked.

"Fear not, Rangers." Katrina's hologram appeared on all their Morphers. "Alpha and I have been working on a Megazord configuration for you all."

"Megazord what now?" Kiba asked with a blink.

Cyrus lit up in realization. "Oh, she means we can combine the Megazords." he explained.

"Huh?" Ryutei muttered.

"Whoa! Seriously?" Reina questioned.

"Really?" Sora inquired.

"Yeah, is that possible?" Ayumi asked.

"The previous Rangers were all able to do it." Cyrus replied, then looked back at Katrina's hologram. "How do we activate it, Kat?"


(Command Chamber)

"I'm sending the upgrade to your Morphers!" Alpha was typing rapidly at the panel as he then pressed a button on the screen. "And there!"


(The battle)

The Rangers all looked down to see a new feature appear on the center of the Morphers:  It was shown to be the HF symbol shining brightly.

"Activate the Crusader Herozord configuration by pressing the upgrade." Katrina explained. "It'll be good to see the powers of the Hero Force and Paladin Rangers working together." 

"Aye-yi-yi-yi-yi! This is going to be so amazing!" Alpha chirped in excitement.

"You guys up for this?" Sora asked.

"What do you think, Cap?" Kiba asked.

"Let's do it!" Ayumi said.

Both Megazords pulled themselves up and stared at Nelo, who was waiting for another shot at them.

"Time to make history!" Cyrus nodded with a thumbs up.

"Let's do it!" Reina said.

"Let's send this demon back to hell." Ryutei huffed in agreement.

The screen split into six panels, Reina in the top left, Sora in the top middle, Kiba in the top right, Ayumi in the bottom left, Ryutei in the bottom middle, and Cyrus in the bottom right.

"Crusader Herozord Formation!" they all shouted in unison, pressing the upgrade button on their Morphers.


(Megazord Configuration Sequence)

Both Megazords launched into the air as the Typhon Megazord then split into five pieces; the helmet, the wings, the tails, the dragon head, and the wolf head.

The tails and wings attached themselves to the back, as the Dragon Zord's head and the Wolf Zord's head attached themselves to both the shoulders. 

 The Typhon Megazord helmet then went over the Paladin Hero Megazord's head, forming the Crusader Herozord.

 The Typhon Megazord helmet then went over the Paladin Hero Megazord's head, forming the Crusader Herozord

The six Rangers were then inside the cockpit. Reina and Kiba were at the back, with Ryutei sitting between them, while the rest were in the front. Sora centered in the middle, while Cyrus diagonally on his left, and Ayumi diagonally on his right.

 Sora centered in the middle, while Cyrus diagonally on his left, and Ayumi diagonally on his right

(Switch the places of the Red Ranger and Pink Ranger)

Boosters came out of the Crusader Herozord's feet before it landed on the ground, then it got ready to fight.

(Sequence Ends)


"Crusader Herozord, ready!" The six Rangers called out.

"Enough!" Nelo snarled. "I'll destroy you all!"

He flapped his wings again as a whirlwind came out of each of his wings to hit the new Megazord, but the attack didn't phase it.

The Crusader Herozord's six wings powered up, before it blasted straight into the sky completely dodging the attack.

"You're not going anywhere!" Nelo declared, spreading his wings out before chasing after them.

Nelo lets out another roar in anger again, before immediately engulfing his hands in fire and starting wildly throwing more balls of fire at the Megazords. But unfortunately, each fire ended up missing its mark with it flying in different directions. 

"Time for a counter attack!" Sora said s he pressed a button. "Let's see what this baby can do!"

Ryutei pressed some buttons on his panel. "All set and locked on target." he reported, holding the knobs.

The Dragon and Wolf Zord heads opened their mouths, before they powered up.

"Douse this bitch!" Reina exclaimed. 

"Regal Lances!" Sora retorted, pressing a button on a handle. "Fire!"

The Dragon and Wolf Zord heads both unleashed a barrage of cyan-colored energy lances, hitting Nelo all over.

"AH! AGHH!" he moaned. "AH! AGHHH!"

He then vanished in a puff of smoke, making the Crusader Herozord look at it as it cleared.

"Did we finish him?" Kiba asked.

Cyrus sighed exasperatedly. "Kiba, we would've seen him explode. Why do you bother asking?"

 "I'm an optimist."

"You're an idiot." Reina retorted.

"But, it seemed too easy." Ayumi replied, leaning forward.

Nelo emerged from the smokescreen. "All you've done with your pathetic attacks is make me angry!" he growled.

"Are you shitting me?!" Reina snapped.

"Its going to take a lot more than that to stop me!" Nelo snarled. 

He charged his hands up with the hottest flames ever, then fired them at the Crusader Herozord, hitting it all over as sparks came out of it, followed by an explosion. However, the wings of the Megazord were extended and folded directly in front of the Megazord, shielding them from harm,

"What?!" Nelo scowled. As the dust cleared, revealing the Crusader Herozord still in action but it was surrounded by a light solidified force field. 

 "Aww what's wrong, did you bit your tongue." Reina spoke through the Herozord's speakers.

"Alright, time to end this!" Sora declared as he cracked his fist.

He then looked at his Morpher, where Katrina reappeared.

"Use the Victory Blaster." she said. "It will be your best defense."

"You got it." Sora said, clapping his hands.

"Yeah!" the girls said, as they and Kiba held their fists up.

"Awesome." Cyrus and Kiba said.

"Let's end this." Ryutei smirked.

The Crusader Herozord raised up its arms, as the Condor Zord, Dragon Zord, and Wolf Zord all began to charge up in power as the Megazord's wings spread out wide.

"Let's do it, guys." Sora said, holding his fist up.

The screen split into six, top left to right, Reina, Sora, Kiba, bottom left to right, Ayumi, Ryutei, Cyrus.

"Victory Blaster!" they shouted. "FIRE!"

The Crusader Herozord thrusted its fists forward as the Condor Zord  fired a red beam from its face, then the Dragon Zord and Wolf Zord both fired beams from their places, all hitting Nelo all over.

"AHHHH!" he moaned loudly as sparks exploded all over his body.

The  Crusader Herozord stopped firing and stared at him.

The demon writhed in the wake of that final assault, letting out a soft yet chilling roar of enraged disbelief. "How could you...Ibris...?" Nelo gasped as Sora turned to him.

"The name's SORA!" The Red Ranger shouted back. 

Nelo scoffed in reponse. "It matters not. Everything that's transpired here has reach the Queen by now. She'll surely take action by then....AHHHH!"

Suddenly, he fell backwards from the sky before his body was engulfed with dark purple flames that exploded immediately. The Rangers shielded their eyes as suddenly, a bright light filled their vision, followed by silence.

And as the light eventually faded, the six Rangers opened their eyes to see that, sure enough, their demonic foe was felled.

The screen split into six again, the Rangers in the same places.

"Yeah!" they whooped. Ayumi and Kiba pulled each other into a celebratory hug while Reina and Cyrus highfived for joy.

"Ha, ha, ha, ha!" Sora whooped, waving his arms Near them, Ryutei nodded at Sora who smiled at him.

"And that's checkmate." Ryutei smirked, folding his arms.

The Crusader Herozord stood at ease as the Rangers celebrated their hard-won victory. But then, Ayumi suddenly yelled as her eyes widened in realization.

 "HIMIKO!" The Pink Ranger ran out out of the cockpit, leaving the other Rangers confused.

"Wait, Ayumi!"

"Where are you going!?"

 "Who's Himiko!?"


The Pink Ranger ran as fast as her legs could carry her, making her way to the last place she saw Himiko. But once she arrived, the first thing that Ayumi did was look around desperately. "Himiko?" But sure enough, there was no sign of the double bun-haired  girl. "Himiko! Where are you!?" she futilely called out to her, only to get no answer.


Not far, Himiko walked, but she was slow and uneven. As each step was careful, her repaired leg still not fully steady. The makeshift fix she'd done held, but just barely. She winced with almost every step, her hand occasionally brushing against her thigh as if to steady the pain.

She then heard Ayumi's calling out to her, she looks down in sadness. "Sorry, Pinky..." She uttered, before walking down an alleyway, disappearing from view.


"Ayumi!"

Hearing her name, the Pink Ranger turned around to see her friends, now demorphed, running up to her. Once they reached her, they all came to a halt.

"Why did you run off like that?" Reina asked her with utmost frustration.

"Yeah, and who's Himiko?" Kiba asked her.

"I..." Ayumi hesitated before taking a deep breath. "The reason why I ran off was because two days after I left the Command Chamber, I met a girl named Himiko Toga who had a horrible life, so I decided to take her to U.A. so she could have a normal life. But then Nelo showed up and..."

"Right..." Cyrus nodded. 

"Come on, we should head back to the Command Chamber." Sora told, holding up his Morpher.

With murmurs of agreement, the Rangers all all held up their Morphers and pressed the teleport button, causing them to teleport away, leaving the scene without a trace.


(Command Chamber)

Soon, the team appeared in the center of the CC where Katrina and Alpha were waiting for them.

"Well done, Rangers." The silver-haired A.I. congratulated them warmly. "Once again, you've overcome yet another obstacle."

"Tell me about it..." Kiba let out a dramatic groan. "From facing off against Ryutei... to finding out Ayumi's real mom... and fighting a giant demon... I can't believe all of that happened in just one week."

"Right? We seriously need a vacation after all of this." Reina scoffed in agreement.

Ryutei turned his attention over to Ayumi, who hadn't powered down since they arrived, causing him to raised an eyebrow. "So, how come you're still morphed?"

Hearing his question, everyone turned their gaze on the Pink Ranger.

Behind the visor, Ayumi's eyes were trembling with fear as she clutched her chest. It felt like she was hyperventilating. She began to overthink. 

"What if... what if they say I look like Nagant, especially Ryutei...? I... I can't do this... I can't bear that... I—"

Just then, as she looked around at the other Rangers, Ayumi noticed Sora looking at her with a reassuring smile and a nod, as if he were saying, "It's okay. You can do this."

"Heh, what am I saying?" she said to herself as she decided to demorph, revealing her purple hair. Everyone, except Sora, stared as Ayumi looked up with a nervous smile.

"H-how... how do I look?"

"Holy crap!" Reina blinked in surprise. "Ayu?"

Kiba turned to Cyrus. "Y-You're seeing this, right?"

The Blue Ranger nodded and took off his glasses, rubbing his eyes in disbelief. "No, this is real."

"Ai-yi-yi!" Alpha uttered out in shock. "She looks just like Nagant."

"That would confirm it." Katrina hummed.

With Ryutei, he was practically frozen in place. He closed his eyes for a second, then opened them as he walked toward Ayumi, who looked at him nervously.

"Ryutei?"

But before she could say anything else, Ryutei placed a hand on top of her head, making the Pink Ranger let out a small, "Oof!"

"Despite having the same hair, you're not her. And I'm glad, you little squirt. And purple looks better on you than blonde anyway." The Paladin Ranger told her, before looking away.

Ayumi looked at him in surprise at his words, before smiling. But then stopped as she looked down, remembering her experience with her predecessors, which the other Rangers noticed.

"Ayu? What's wrong?" Kiba asked with concern. 

 Ayumi slowly looked up with watery eyes, shocking everyone.

"C-can you be honest with me? Do you think I'm a burden?"

 "WHAT!? What makes you think that!?" Reina yelled worriedly as Ayumi fidgeted with her fingers.

 "When I was out, Nelo put me in a nightmare where he made versions of you say that I was a burden and that you... didn't care about me."

 "Ayumi, no." Cyrus said, as Ryutei growled while Sora, Kiba, and Reina clenched their fists in secret.

"S-so please... give me your honest opinion of me."

The room went silent for a moment, the weight of her words hanging heavy in the air.

Until....

SMACK!

"Ow!" Ayumi yelped, clutching her forehead where Reina had flicked her. "What was that for, Rei?!"

"For being an idiot," Reina shot back flatly. "Honestly, what the hell do you take us for? We are rookies, it's totally normal to feel overwhelmed. I couldn't do this without you there to talk to afterward. You're my best friend on this team, and I need you."

Before Ayumi could argue, Kiba leaned in close, his brows furrowed. "She's right! You're the heart of this team! Who else is going to keep us all together when things get crazy? You're irreplaceable, girl!"

"That's irrational thinking." Cyrus chimed in, his voice steady but firm. "You've contributed more to our victory today than any of us. When we are fighting side-by-side, I know I can trust you. We all do."

Ryutei stepped forward with his arms folded, his tone confident. "Stop overthinking it. Your duty is to fight, not to worry about what others think. Plus, I've never seen any of them think less of you, even before I joined this team."

"Ai-yi-yi-yi-yi! Oh, Ayumi, you absolutely must not think such things! Your teammates feel no such way, and neither do I!" Alpha cut in, trying to boost her confidence. "You were chosen for a reason! Katrina sees the courage in you, even if you are just starting out. Just believe in yourself! Your power comes from within, you just have to trust your strength and the Pink Ranger energy!"

That's when Katrina joined in. "Ayumi, asking for honesty shows courage, not weakness. But listen to me: I did not choose you because you were perfect; I chose you because you are capable." She said, voice now firm with conviction. "Your teammates don't think less of you—they trust you to hold the line, just as they do now. Being a Ranger isn't about never doubting yourself; it's about pushing past that fear and standing up anyway."

Ayumi looked around at their determined faces, a lump forming in her throat. She opened her mouth to respond, but found herself momentarily speechless as their words sank in.

The group fell silent as Sora walked up to her. In a moment of bravery, he brushed some of the hair out of her face. "Look at me." His voice soft yet resolute. "I don't just see the suit or the Ranger; I see the person who keeps this team—and me—together. If anything, knowing you're human enough to feel this way makes me respect you more. You aren't 'less than' for having doubts. You're everything I'm fighting for."

"Sora..." Ayumi's face flushed as she took in the sincere expression on the Red Ranger's face.

Katrina clapped her hands twice, getting their attention. "Now then, you all have fought with courage and heart, but even the strongest warriors need rest. You all deserve a little break. Take time to breathe the fresh air and reconnect with your hearts. The Command Chamber will be here when you return."

"OH HELL YEAH!" Reina yelled as she struck the Rocky pose. "Now that's what I'm talking about! Seriously, I did say we needed a vacation."

But then Kiba facepalmed as he turned to the team. "Wait, we've gotta go to U.A. I kind of promised Eri that we'd give her a pizza party and a Disney movie marathon after we found Ayumi."

"Well, no time like the present." Cyrus let out a short chuckle. "Besides, we still gotta let Principal Nezu know about everything that went down."

Sora took two deep breaths as he walked toward Ayumi and tapped her shoulder, whispering to her. "Can I talk to you alone?"

 This made Ayumi blush, but she found the strength to answer. "O-Oh, sure," she answered. 

Sora smiled at this as he turned to the rest of their friends. "Hey, before we go, do you guys mind if I could have a moment alone with Ayumi?"

"Okay, but don't keep us waiting." Reina replied, and with that, Sora takes Ayumi by her hand and leads her to somewhere private in the Command Chamber.


"Listen..." 

 "So-..." 

 Both Sora and Ayumi looked at each other in surprise as they realized that they both had something to say before they looked away with small blushes on their faces while chuckling embarrassingly. 

"You go first." Sora insisted, gesturing to Ayumi with his hand.

Ayumi looked back at Sora in surprise. "A- Are you sure?" 

"Yeah, I don't mind." Sora nodded in response.

"So, what did you want to talk about?" The Pink Ranger asked, rubbing her arm bashfully.

"Okay, i can do this." Ayumi chanted to herself before looking at Sora. "S-so Sora. I've been wanting to tell you something for a while now... The... The truth is... I... I've been feeling... Different about you... I'm not saying that I've started to hate you or anything..." 

 She started to get nervous again, as she turned away from him again. "Um..I-I...I think you're really great. And i think we're great friends. Like I... Started to notice things about you..." She started to stammer again, "... At first it was little things... Like... When you talked to me... Or even, when I see you everyday... I just feel my breath slip away... Then today... When I woke up from Nelo's torment ... It was like... I was the princess locked away... And you were there by my side as my knight in shining armor..." 

 Sora couldn't help but blush at the compliment, though he didn't say anything as he allowed her to continue. 

 "... Then..." She said, her face turning a bit more red, "... Then when we kissed for the first time...I felt like my heart was going to shoot out of my chest. What I'm-What I'm trying to say is... I um- I think I-" 

 At this, she started to mumble a little as she looked down. At this, Sora pried himself from her before he gently turned her head towards him. 

 "Say it, Ayu." He soon told her. 

 She soon shook her head, "... N-No... I shouldn't... I shouldn't after all..." She tried to pry herself away from him, though he cupped her face as to keep her there. 

 In turn, Sora shook his head, "I think you should finish." 

 Ayumi nodded again, though still had been hesitant to say anything as she tightened the grip on her pants.

 "... Sora Ukashi..." She said with her voice shaking a little, "... The truth is..." She gulped a little as her heart beat increased, "I..." She finally looked to him as her face had been red; she had a shy look as she soon finished her thought, "... I love you..."

At this, she was baffled to see that Sora had a surprised look on his face before giving her one of his most genuine smiles, as he soon leaned forward and pressed his forehead against hers.

 "Well... that's a coincidence..." He said to her, "... Because I love you too..." 

 She had been taken back at this, as she backed up from him, just put into mere shock by his words. He couldn't help but chuckle at her expression.

"I love everything about you... Your kindness, your enthusiasm, your optimism, your drive to become a hero, your smile, everything... You're the most beautiful and amazing girl I've ever met... Whenever I'm with you, it's like nothing else in the world matters... Seeing you is enough to make my day that much brighter. Hearing you laugh is like... Listening to the most beautiful melody in the world... But spending time with you... I wouldn't trade that for all of the fame or glory in the world... I wish I could've told you sooner..." Sora continued as he chuckled.

"Are-" She stammered. "-Are you serious? You're not saying that... just to make me feel better, right?"

"... What do you think, Ayu?" Was all that he replied.

Finally, she smiled as tears began to form; in that moment, she was happy, and yet she couldn't help but cry at this. Sora soon wiped away her tears, gently brushing her face."Come on, no need to cry."

"Can you blame me?" She asked tearfully. "I'm just really happy because you feel the same way I do! I don't think... I've ever... Felt this way before!"

Sora's expression changed slightly at her words, though he decided not to make a comment, as he brought her into a hug. Ayumi blushed brightly as she buried her face into Sora's chest.

"I wanted to hold you like this for so long now." Sora told her sincerely. "I know we're meant to protect the world, but I want to protect you, too. So, Ayumi Suzuni, will you be my girlfriend?"

Once again, Ayumi found herself surprised by something Sora said, only this time, it was so great that she could barely think properly as a result. The words themselves were very nice, but it was the amount of certainty and passion that Sora had spoken them with that really got to her, and they all told her that he truly was serious about this. She looked up into his eyes and when she finally did think of a response to give, she just went with the first thing that popped into her head, without even thinking about how it would sound.

"I really want to kiss you right now, if that's any indication," Ayumi told the boy who was currently looking at her in a way that no other boy ever had before.

Grinning, Sora merely smiled a little more, holding her closely by her waist, and whispered, "I wouldn't be complaining if you did."

'Well, goodbye heart. You did a great job at keeping me alive for as long as you did.' was the only thing Ayumi could think right now, with how her heart was now definitely fluttering enough to the point where she was sure that it would pop out of her chest and fly away, but she did not care. It was plain as the smile on her face as she and Sora closed the distance between each other and shared their second kiss.

 It was plain as the smile on her face as she and Sora closed the distance between each other and shared their second kiss

Ayumi trembled pleasantly when their lips touched, and she put her arms around his neck as the kiss deepened a bit. Like the first time, it was warm, and tender, and it simply felt right. It felt like every single thing in the universe was just where it belonged.

When they separated, Ayumi was blushing furiously. Sora smiled when he saw how red her cheeks were, and lightly caressed them with his fingers. That made her smile as she looked up at him.

"WOOOOO! EXCHANGE OF THE SPIT!"

All of a sudden, cheering was heard. Both Sora and Ayumi turned their heads to see Kiba, Cyrus, and Reina standing at the doorway, cheering before they walked up to the duo.

"It's about time!" Kiba yelled out happily.

"'Wait, what are you talking about?' Sora asked as Kiba put a hand on his shoulder, while Cyrus just smirked before answering. 

"We pretty much knew you two had feelings for each other. We even told Ayumi when we went to Earthland."

"And let me tell ya, it was torture waiting for you guys to confess. It's probably going to be even more torture with you two being all lovey-dovey from now on. But I'm happy for you, dude," Kiba added. While for the girls, Reina gave Ayumi a side hug as the Pink Ranger pouted.

"I'm so happy for you, Yu-Yu. You finally did it," Reina said while rubbing Ayumi's arm.

"This was supposed to be private," Ayumi grumbled, still pouting. Reina just laughed it off, then turned her attention to Sora.

"Hey, Sor! Promise me you're gonna cherish this little shorty for the rest of your life. And if you do anything to break Ayu's heart, I will break you."

Sora rolled his eyes in amusement. "Yeah, yeah. Noted. Don't worry, I don't plan on doing that anytime soon."

"Uhh... guys?" Ryutei called out, as everyone turned to see him at the door. "Your little girl's waiting." 

The team perked up at this. "Oh, right! Let's get going!" Kiba took off out of the room.

"Wait a minute!" Reina called out with irritation as she dashed after the Yellow Ranger.

"Hold on!" Cyrus called out, as he ran after them as well.

The whole time, Sora and Ayumi both smiled at the sight of their friends. As they ran after everyone else, their hands interwined together, as to symbolize their new found relationship.

To Be Continued....

Chapter Text

In Space - Alsatia's Ship 

Alsatia sat in her throne, watching the battle between the Rangers and Nelo in silence all the way up to her creation's destruction. 

 However, what she learned beyond that left her with a sense of twisted admiration, cold arrogance, and sadistic amusement. 

"Well, this changes everything..." She uttered to herself. "So, the 'valiant' Red Ranger is nothing more than the Ultimate Creation... the weapon I've been trying to destroy?"

"My lady." Ernesh said, eager to hear what Alsatia was planning. "What must we do? This planet has no idea that they're following a ticking time bomb of pure destruction."

"If Father finds out.. he will no doubt come here to this sector and I would lose command. But if I would somehow control the beast, than the Empire would finally be mine to remake as I wish!"

"My lady! That would be treason!" Ernesh cried out, yet Alastia only laughed it off before speaking.

"Treason? Oh please, Ernesh. The Empire hasn't been the same since my sister aligned herself with our enemies and helped destroy half of our forces. And Father has been scouring the universe in search of Ibris, exhausting our resources as a result. But we found him and we, we alone, have the chance to restore the Great Vyram Empire to its truest form!"

"Of course." Ernesh bowed his head. "What are your orders?"

Alsatia gazed out to the Earth with a dark, twisted smile on her face. "We will rebuild our arsenal while having a close eye on the Rangers, and when their guard is down. When his guard is down, the Ultima will be... MINE!"

(HF Opening Intro 2)


U.A High School

"It feels like forever since we've been here." Sora sighed as he gazed up at the school. 

After leaving the Command Chamber, the Rangers all teleported and are now standing in front of U.A., while also looking up at it.

"I know. Between the HPSC incident and the whole Nelo crap, I would've thought it's been a month or something." Reina snorted, folding her arms underneath her bust.

"So, this is U.A, huh?" Ryutei asked while giving the building a once over.

"Well, it is the most prestigious school in the country." Cyrus shrugged. "Hardest one to get into."

 "Yeah." Kiba agreed with a grin on his face as he puffed his chest in pride. "Not to brag or anything, but we're pretty much famous here." 

"By that, he means both good and bad." Reina chimed in. "Apparently, there's a lot of people who aren't thrilled about a bunch of kids running around in colored-suits. Especially when they learned of us being Quirkless."

"But, I'd say we have more friends than 'enemies'." Ayumi joined in. "Principal Nezu sure took a liking to us. Even All Might likes us."

"Well, let's not keep 'em waiting." Sora told them, making his way inside as the others soon followed him.


U.A High - Principal Nezu's Office

"Where are they?" Aizawa said with a very irritated tone, as this was killing his sleeping time.

He, Toshinori, Midnight, Present Mic, Eri, and Solon were all together in Nezu's office waiting for the Rangers to show up. But they hadn't shown up at all, and it was starting to make them worry.

"Now, Aizawa, calm down. I know the young Rangers are running a little late, but there's no need to get upset." Toshinori said, trying to calm Eraser Head down.

"We got word that Suzuni went missing earlier. And now, we just saw them fighting some dark gargoyle monster in the city. So I have every reason to be upset given how much of a trouble magnet those problem children have become." Aizawa said with a stern tone.

"Come on, Aizawa, you actually think the youngsters are out there fighting against normal villains?" Midnight asked in a skeptical tone. "For all we know, it could've been from that Alsatia character."

"In any case, we should wait a little bit longer because we can't afford to make any unnecessary decisions just yet." Nezu said to them.

"You don't think something bad happened to Ayumi or Sora, do you?" Eri asked as she began to tear up at why her saviors were taking so long to come and see her. 

"Of course not, Eri!" Solon said, trying to cheer up the depressed girl. "The Rangers are the last people on the planet to worry about!"

"Solon is right. I'm sure both of them are okay, Young Eri." Toshinori added in as it calmed down Eri a bit.

Suddenly, everyone in the room heard a knock on the door as they turned to it.

"Principal Nezu? It's us!" Sora's voice called out from outside the office.

"Ahh, right on time." Nezu smiled. "Please come in!"

The door opened as the entire HF team made their way inside together.

"We're back!" Kiba exclaimed.

"Eri!" Ayumi said, arms wide open for the girl.

Eri immediately rushed over to the Pink Ranger in pure joy to see her and gave her a big hug as she wrapped her arms around Ayumi's neck.

"Ayumi!" Eri cried out in happiness while squeezing her tightly.

"Rangers, what in the world happened out there?" All Might asked, seeing his students. "We were informed that Young Suzuni went missing and then we saw you all on television fighting some dark gargoyle villain.

"And Ayumi, what happened to your hair?" Solon asked with her own concern. "I could've swore it was blonde before."

"That's kind of a long story." Cyrus said before appearing in front of everyone. "And a bit compi-" He didn't finish his sentence when the teachers's eyes all turned to Ryutei.

"It's you...!" All Might gasped in shock as he stared at the Paladin Ranger. "You're that boy..."

"And it's nice to meet you in person, 'Paladin Ranger'." Nezu hummed as he leaned forward.

"Hey..." Ryutei said awkwardly while giving a small wave.

The teachers froze as they took in what the Nezu said. "Wait, 'Paladin Ranger'?" Midnight echoed.

"That's the name of the guy who attacked the HPSC and the other Pros!" Present Mic exclaimed in shock, alarming the adults in the room with worry and caution.

"Then why is someone this dangerous here in our school?!" Aizawa asked in a stern tone, as he kept a watchful eye on this dangerous threat. "The HPSC was destroyed because of him and his father! He should be arrested!"

"Whoa, whoa! Everybody relax!" Reina said to them in a defensive tone. "Trust me, we get why you're on edge, but it's fine now. He's on our side now and he's no danger to anyone anymore." She said while her homeroom teacher glared at the Sixth Ranger.

"Why are you here?" Aizawa demanded with his eyes narrowed suspiciously. "What reason do you have for coming here? I don't care if you're a child. If it's for revenge on our students, then you have another thing coming."

Ryutei ignored the threat towards him and just answered the teacher honestly. "Relax, I'm not seeking a fight or revenge as it would gain me nothing in the end." He said with his eyes closed. "And like she said, I'm on their side now."

Aizawa studied the boy with narrowed eyes. If he was a Ranger like the others, then his powers wouldn't work on him, but that wouldn't stop the man from taking down a dangerous threat.

"Then why are you here?" Aizawa demanded while preparing his scarves. "Did you seriously forget that you and your father attacked the HPSC and destroyed their building?" Aizawa reminded the Paladin Ranger of the huge crime that he and his father committed. "These five problem children may have welcomed you to their group as a hero, but we still see you as a villain for what you did."

Ryutei was quiet for a momemt as everyone looked on in silence. "Let me make something clear. I didn't come here seeking forgiveness or redemption. I'm only here because I'm associated with them." Ryutei stated, gesturing to the Rangers. "Nothing more. I have no intention of getting along with any of you. Or any meta-human for that matter."

The tension in the room grew from the Paladin Ranger's words as the teachers tensed up in case of a fight. Nezu, however, merely smiled in silence.

"You can't pay for entertainment like this," Nezu said as he had an amused smile from all this leading to Aizawa glaring at the small animal a bit.

"Principal Nezu, are you serious right now!?" Present Mic asked in a tone full of shock and outrage. "He practically just called us his enemy! Even if he is a Power Ranger, the second we lower our guards, he might kill us when we least expect it." He said, making a good point with almost everyone in the room narrowing their eyes at the Paladin Ranger."

"No, he wouldn't." Sora said, silencing everyone in the room and getting their attention on him before speaking again. "Even without Red Lion speaking to me, Ryutei's heart is speaking the truth and I didn't feel any malicious intent like I did before when we fought against him." He said with certainty. "Besides, this isn't the first time a villain or Sixth Ranger that the Rangers fought against turned good. We've all seen it in Ranger history." He stated, making everyone think about the few Ranger villains that turned to the side of good.

"He's not wrong. Tommy Oliver started off bad before the other Rangers set him free from Rita's control." Cyrus said to them.

"He also helped us stop the HPSC from crashing into Japan." Ayumi said without any hesitation in her tone. "I trust him." After she made her decision, someone else spoke up next.

"Right." Kiba said, giving his opinion on the matter. "We were able to form a super cool Megazord with him." He was willing to give the Sixth Ranger a chance to prove that he's turned over a new leaf.

"Same here," Reina said with a little nod. "He was an ass at first, but I'm willing to forgive and forget if he wants to change his ways."

"I have no idea what's going on, but if Ayumi and Sora says it's okay, then I believe in him too," Eri said with a child-like innocent smile.

"Are you sure it's safe to have him here?" The Class 1-A homeroom teacher questioned his boss. "He did try to kill our students after all."

"Of course I'm sure," Nezu stated with his usual smile and calm expression on his face. "If what Ukashi and the others saying was true about him having a change of heart and that he is no longer declaring terrorism on Japan, then we wouldn't have to worry about a thing." He said as he was clearly enjoying this, much to Aizawa's annoyance.

"We're not considerably thinking about letting this happen, are we?" Aizawa demanded to know.

Nezu chuckled as he folded the note and stored it in his suitcase pocket. "Of course we are not!" He said while giving Aizawa an evil grin. "Unless he can prove he won't be a threat to our school." 

Aizawa and All Might looked at their boss with matching horrified expressions. "Nezu, no!" Both men pleaded.

The Principal of UA merely cackled as he let out another laugh.

"Nezu YES! NEZU ALWAYS YES!" Nezu said before calming down a bit and looking at the Paladin Ranger. "Mr. Arasaka, was it? If you're genuinely certain about starting anew, then we can't exactly turn you down. So are you sure about this decision of yours?" He asked him.

"I'd never say something in jest." Ryutei replied simply.

"That's wonderful news to hear! " Nezu said with a smile before turning into a serious expression. "However, due to your recent actions, we will be placing you in the Redemption Program."

"Redemption Program?" Cyrus asked with a finger under his chin. "I don't think I've ever heard that before,  sir." He said with curiosity.

"The U.A. Redemption Program." Nezu explained to them. "It is a project I have been working on for a couple of years, a method of allowing Villains and Vigilantes the chance to either work off their debts to the government or officially become licensed Heroes. You can call it U.A.R.P. for short."

"Uarp?" Everyone in the room asked, raising a brow at the acronym.

"Are you sure that the Hero Public Safety Commission will approve of it though? Once they discover we're harboring someone who attacked them, there'll be hell to pay." Midnight said as she knew how bad this world government is.

"Not to mention him being a Ranger..." Toshinori added with a sigh.

"While we could try and create a cover story, it most likely wouldn't work given that Arasaka has no trace or records of his life here," Nezu explained to everyone. "Starting in the next few days, he will be a part of the Redemption Program and will be enrolled into U.A as the newest student." He said with joy in his tone.

"Fine by me..." Ryutei said with his stoic expression returning. "I'm up for anything you can dish out." He said with some resolute in his voice.

Meanwhile, Aizawa just sighed and rubbed his forehead, already feeling the future headaches coming. "What the hell's happening to my class..." The teacher sighed as Nezu simply giggled before looking at the Paladin Ranger with a scowl. "For now, we shall keep you under watch. You may have been granted a new life, but the moment you intentionally endanger my students or anyone else here, we shall not hesitate to take you down. Are we clear?" He sternly asked.

The Paladin Ranger sighed to the demands before speaking again. "Fair enough." He accepted without any hint of argument.

"Good." Aizawa said with a satisfied nod before looking at the Rangers. "Ukashi, I expect all of you to keep a watchful eye on him."

"We will, sir." Sora said with a nod.

While all of this was happening, Solon moved over to the Rangers. "So, what exactly happened out there?" She asked, getting everyone's attention "Who was the dark creature and why were we told you went missing Ayumi?"

"That's kinda vague, don't ya think? Wanna be a little more specific?" Kiba said with a face-splitting grin.

Aizawa wasn't in the mood for this. He was already sleepy because of them and didn't want to waste any more of his time. He crossed his arms and walked to the center of the room, looking at them with a serious gaze.

"Start talking." Aizawa ordered deeply in a non-joking mode, making the Rangers a bit nervous.

Nezu just mentally laughs at the scene before him. "Never a dull moment with the Power Rangers around." He thought while having a devilish smile on his face.


Meanwhile, at an abandoned dock, the warehouse was silent, too empty, but perfect for someone like Nagant to hide in for the time being. She stood in the middle of it, still as a statue, holding her old hero uniform in front of a burning barrel.

To her, the outfit felt heavier for some reason, even though it had been tailored perfectly, it was made for efficiency and mobility. Nagant's fingers moved to the collar, pausing there. But for a second, just a second, her hand trembled. Nagant notices this and made a fist from it.

"Goodbye." the former hero said, right before dropping the outfit into the barrel. She then took out the picture to look at it, but as she turned her attention back to the barrel, she shook off the thought and looked up at the sky.

'Keep an eye on our girl, Dera...' She smiled softly before walking toward the door and closing it.


"...And that's pretty much the gist of it." Sora finished telling them, about what they were up to.

Still inside Principal Nezu's office, the Rangers were explaining everything that happened to them with Nelo, which shocked the adults in the room when they learned what their students got themselves into.

"So let me get this straight; Nagant helped you stop Young Arasaka's father, but the building was going to explode, but you threw it at Alsatia's ship. As a result, she created a monster of her own to fight you, one that was almost as powerful as you, but you still stopped it." All Might summarized with a dumbfounded look at what his students told him.

"Not only that, but Nagant is Suzuni's biological mother!?" Midnight questioned out loud.

"Yeah pretty much sums up our whole story," Cyrus said with a shrug, as he was to trying to react to his teachers' surprise.

"Wow...this is a pretty hardcore origin story." Present Mic uttered with a gobsmacked expression.

"Agreed." Ayumi said while holding Eri in her arms. The little girl was feeling a bit more comfortable being around other people now and happily cuddled against the Pink Ranger.

"I swear..." Aizawa, on the other hand, groaned and rubbed his forehead in irritation. "Problem children, can you all not go at least 24 hours without getting into some kind of trouble?" He asked, looking at the Rangers with a face that said 'I am so done with this bullshit'.

"Sounds like you all had quite the adventure," Nezu said with a smile, as he enjoyed the story they told them. "Not even pros yet, but your still accomplishing so much in only a short amount of time." He said with a proud smile.

"Thank you for such kind words, Principal Nezu." Ayumi said with a bow.

"You've gone up against all kinds of odds that, honestly, didn't seem in your favor." Toshinori said before smiling and giving them a thumbs up. "But you've pulled through with your own strength and dignity. So excellent work Power Rangers." He was happy for their success in keeping Alsatia back.

"He's right." Midnight added, from beside him. "You should be really proud of yourselves. You saved a lot of lives today."

"I can tell you've worked hard," Aizawa said with a heavy sigh and his eyes closed. "If everything I heard was true, you guys have grown from this experience and know what it's like to face real villains this early." He then reopened his eyes at them. "Either way, good job. But try not to make it a constant habit."

"No promises there." Reina told him. 

"But we'll try." Cyrus quickly reassured his homeroom teacher.

Kiba then stretched and let out a groan. "Well, now that that's done, Kat told us that we can take a break after everything that's happened and I kinda promised Eri that we'd hang out with her. So do you mind if we...?"

"By all means!" Nezu chirped without hesitation. "I believe you all deserve a little time to yourselves after everything that's happened. Please, take this time to recuperate."

"Thanks, sir." Sora nodded his head and turned to his team. "Come on, guys."

"Right!" The Rangers all said, but then Eri raised her hand, which everyone noticed.

"What's wrong, Tater Tot?" Reina asked, as Eri then points to where Ryutei was.

"Where did R-Ryutei go?"

Everybody snapped up in surprise when they looked to where the Paladin Ranger had been...and saw that he was gone. "H-Huh!? Where did he-?" Present Mic stuttered out.

"I didn't hear him leave the room." All Might said in surprise.

 Aizawa lowered a glare at the team. "Didn't I tell you five to keep a watchful eye on him?" 

"I'm sorry, but we can't all keep an eye on him 24/7!" Reina pointed out in a snapping tone.

 "Look, if Ryutei did leave U.A., then hopefully we can find him and ask him why he left without saying anything." Sora said.

"Sounds like a plan." Kiba agreed, nodding. 

"We can always ask Kat and Alpha to watch for him." Ayumi offered, holding Eri in her arms safely.

"That makes sense." Cyrus agreed after a moment.

"Well, we should get going then!" Sora spoke up. "I gotta make sure my Mom's okay anyway and let her know what's going on."

"We'll go with you, then try to find Ryutei afterwards." Reina replied, as Ayumi turns to the teachers.

"Thank you for your time, and thank you so much for taking care of Eri when we were away." She said, bowing slightly.

After that, the team walked out of the room and closed the door behind them.

Once they were gone, it was only the teachers left in Nezu's office with Aizawa letting out a loud, long tiring sigh while thinking about everything his students had done that day.

"Damn problem children, making my job more difficult than it already is..." Aizawa muttered in annoyance while rubbing his forehead.

"Come on, Aizawa. Don't rain on these kids' parade. They're on the right path to becoming amazing heroes." Toshinori said, playfully slapping him on the back with a proud smile.

"I don't get paid enough for this job," Aizawa muttered to himself lowly.

"Perhaps." Nezu replied with a grin appearing on his face. "But don't you think it will be entertaining? Now we have six Rangers attending our school!" He asked in excitement while also laughing like a madman. "They really are teenagers with attitude!"

"Which brings us to the topic regarding Suzuni..." Midnight brought up as the warm atmosphere came to a halt.

"For real! That was absolutely wild!" Present Mic chimed in. "Poor kid, finding out her mom is... you know. We gotta make sure she doesn't think we look at her any differently! Let's get her some counseling, ASAP!"

All Might looked down with an expression full of solemn, compassion, and guilt. "Young Kaina... she deserved better. To have her daughter here... I must ensure this child finds the light that her mother was denied."

"Pardon me, but who is this Lady Nagant you all speak of?" Solon asked, looking around at everyone.

The teachers all looked at each other in silence as Nezu sipped his tea thoughtfully. "Ah, Kaina Tsutsumi. A remarkable talent with a tragic trajectory. It is unfortunate how the Commission's 'maintenance' of hero society destroys the very people protecting it. It's a very... complicated case, Ms. Solon."

Aizawa narrowed his eyes, deadpan and cautious. "She was a tool. When the HPSC was done with her, they threw her away. But she crossed the line. She chose to kill, and because of that, she was sent to Tartarus Prison. She's dangerous, regardless of her past."

"Then perhaps it's time for a second opinion."

Hearing the sudden voice, everyone perked up as Katrina appeared inside the room via the device on Nezu's desk.

"Katrina?" Toshinori asked in surprise, as Katrina then pats his shoulder, giving him a smirk.

"Easy there, Yagi. Sorry for scaring ya."

"Ah, Ms. Katrina. Always a pleasure of seeing you." Nezu smiled as he leaned foward.

Though, there was something that caught Midnight's attention. "Pardon me, but what did you mean by a second opinion?"

"I had the chance of meeting Nagant and asking her about it." Katrina told them, shocking the adults. "The story about her being arrested for shooting another hero is fake."

"W-What? What do you mean?" Present Mic asked in curiously.

"Your government turned her into their personal assassin." Katrina revealed the horrific truth to them as everyone in the room didn't want to believe it. "During her younger days, Lady Nagant- or rather, Kaina Tsutsumi- was being prepared by the HPSC to be a new hero, and she was full of hopes and dreams even after she graduated. Some time later, she fell in love with a Quirkless man named Dera Tachibana. And together they fell in love and had a child, which I'm sure everyone here now knows."

"After that, the former President of the Hero Public Safety Commission invited her to join their agency. With a bright sense of optimism at becoming a great Pro Hero, she accepted. For years, the HPSC trained her conscientiously until she became really skillful with her Rifle Quirk, becoming not only a popular hero, but also the best marksman in all of Japan. Her skill and precision with her shots were admired and envied by the likes of Snipe and other heroes with long-range Quirks. However, the Commission primarily used her for classified missions such as secretly disposing Villains planning to commit acts of terrorism and corrupt Heroes seeking more fame and fortune. At first, she carried out these orders efficiently and without question, but over time the stress of the seemingly never-ending string of murders began to get to her, all the while needing to keep the front as a public Pro Hero. One day, she came across a group of kids who wanted to shake her hand, leading her to hallucinate her completely bloody hand, and resulting in her questioning her purpose as merely just a cog to maintain the phony illusion of your society."

"Lady Nagant's disillusionment came to a breaking point when the then-President of the Hero Public Safety Commission ordered a hit on her husband, getting him killed and having Ayumi kidnapped, wanting to make sure she stayed loyal to them. When she learned about this, Nagant stormed the HPSC, enraged at what they did to her family. The President gave Lady Nagant a veiled threat: To continue being their lapdog or her daughter would die. This proved to be the last straw for her, with Lady Nagant killing the former HPSC President in response. She then took her daughter and placed her into another family's home where she'd be safe. After that, she was promptly arrested and incarcerated in Tartarus: the HPSC covered up the nature of her arrest, claiming that she killed a fellow Hero in an argument instead."

The Ranger mentor finished to see the horrified, shocked looks on everyone's faces after hearing the tragic messed up story from the once well knew heroine.

"My goodness..." Solon uttered out in horror and sympathy.

"Y-You're lying, right?" Aizawa asked the A.I in disbelief as this shook him.

"Aizawa..." Katrina with a straight face as she looked Aizawa in the eyes. "Not once have I lied since speaking with you all before. I know everything about this world and every human secret in it. I even know how quirk appeared in your world, which I won't say for obvious reasons. So whether you believe me or not is up to you in the end." She finished her speech to the hero.

"She's telling the truth," Nezu said simply, as he detected no lies during the story about Lady Nagant. He knew that there was something strange about the Lady Nagant incident and the disappearance of the former HPSC President. From what he could tell, Lady Nagant hasn't been let out of Solitary confinement yet. Apparently, she's been trying to break out, but Nezu didn't buy it at all. Now with Katrina confirming the truth about the incident, Nezu's trust and respect for the HPSC has dramatically dropped. "Every word she has spoken is the truth. Which would explain why young Arasaka was bent on attacking the HPSC, seeing that they were involved with Lunetta Arasaka's death."

Katrina nodded at this. "Exactly. From what I've gathered, it was the last mission Nagant did for the HPSC before tragedy fell onto her family."

The others looked at the rat principal in disbelief. If he said it was the truth, then Katrina was not lying about the fate of Lady Nagant. The more and more they thought about it the more they realized something was wrong with Lady Nagant. In the past, she used to smile a lot, but she stopped and started to look at her hands like there was something on them. Now all the pieces were falling into place after hearing Katrina's explanation.

"I... Wow..." Present Mic said, rubbing his forehead as he looked down in shock.

"It makes sense to me. Your government does whatever it can to make people think everything is fine. I mean look at Lady Nagant." Katrina said in a pissed tone with her arms crossed. "The commission takes kids with amazing quirks like Lady Nagant and trains them to become heroes in the spotlight while in the shadows, assassins and spies that do their dirty work." 

"So that's what happened to her..." Midnight whispered in disbelief. "Wait, does Suzuni know about any of this?"

Katrina shook her head. "Not yet. She has been through enough for today and I didn't want to add more onto her. I'll tell her soon."

Solon then perked up at something. "Wait. If Ayumi is this Nagant's daughter, won't this HPSC try to come after her once they've learned about their relationship?"

"Then we'll try to keep it a secret from them. But if they already know about the relationship between Ayumi and Nagant, then this could be bad for us, Ayumi, the other Rangers, and Nagant." Katrina said seriously. "Especially considering that their HQ has been destroyed."

"I still can't believe the system we work under is this dirty..." Toshinori said out loud.

"To be fair, it's not as corrupted when the former president was in charge. Even the current HPSC President is still cleaning up after her predecessor's messes."

"But can she be trusted?" Aizawa asked.

"No." Katrina said, shaking her head. "While Sayaka Grant isn't that bad of a person, you still shouldn't let your guard down around her. But the one you should watch out for is Lt. Steel. He's just as corrupted as the former president of the HPSC." She warned them with Nezu's face cringing at the name alone.

"Lt. Steel? Who is that?" Midnight asked.

"A very serious, hard-boiled man. He runs his team with an iron fist, and he has created such a culture of fear around his squad, known as 'S.E.A' (Shadow Enforcement Agency)." Nezu explained with a stern tone in his voice. "They go after those who could become villains, or have the potential to be seen as All Might-level threats. And considering what the Power Rangers have done lately..."

"He could've set his sights on them." Solon finished in worry.

"Correct. During the aftermath of the USJ, the HPSC President suggested taking the Rangers' technology, which I strongly disagree too." Nezu said as he clasped his paws together.

He knew that Steel would do whatever it took to lock the Rangers up for "breaking" the law. And he didn't want to think about what the Hero Public Safety Commission would do with Ranger technology in their hands.

"That's the rational choice to make." Aizawa said in agreement with a scowl. "That kind of power can't fall into the wrong hands."

"But what do we do about it?" Midnight asked and then looked at Nezu.

"Nothing," Nezu answered calmly. "We can't do anything as we are right now, especially without any evidence of their crimes."

"Actually, I might be able to help with that." Katrina said before moving over to place her hand on the principal's laptop as several files were downloaded to it. "While the Rangers were dealing with Ryutei and his father, I managed to gain access to the Commission's database and download every dark secret or coverup that they tried to hide, along with a few other things I added into there that will help you in the future." She said to them.

"Really?" Aizawa questioned, stepping forward. "Like what?"

"That's a surprise that you'll have to find out." Katrina said with a small chuckle.

"Oh, I do love surprises," Nezu said with a sparkle in his eyes.

"Which reminds me..." The A.I mentor began before looking over at Solon. "There's something I require your help with, Solon."

This got the Solonosaurus's attention. "Oh?"

XXXXXXXXXX

With Ryutei

After walking away from the principal's office, Ryutei wandered around the campus, lost in thought.

'Unbelievable... unbelievable... We have the power to defend this world, and we still have to follow these rules!? Sora and the others have to understand that we don't have to ask for permission.'

Just then, Ryutei bumped into a U.A. student, but he didn't apologize as he continued to walk past him and his group, causing the student to scoff.

"Hey! Watch where you're going, idiot!" But the Paladin Ranger didn't respond. This enraged the student, as he walked toward Ryutei and made him turn around by force.

"HEY! I'M TALKING TO YOU!" The arrogant student said, as he grabbed Ryutei's collar. "Who do you think you are anyway!? I'm a U.A student, so you better treat me with re--"

The Paladin Ranger turned his head with a dead gaze before the hallway was filled with the sounds of hits landing and screams.

To Be Continued...

Notes:

Finally done! Another chapter complete! Kat has some dirt on The HPSC, which she and Nezu are gonna throw in their eyes! Get it? XD

Also, what do you guys think of Rytuei meeting the Big 3 later in the story? Might end up being the Big 4 instead

Anyway, next chapter is about our Rangers taking a little break with Eri before s&*^ goes down in Hosu with Stain.

After that, we'll be diving into....the RWBY ARC! Which will end as Book 1's finale. What do you guys think?
