Not since Goldar were things this intense; a molten giant monster was FAR worse, especially with peter's best friend and another classmate in danger. For a second, it looked like they had the Fire Elemental on the ropes…until he hit the ferris wheel and grew double in size.
"This guys getting too big and I don't know if they can handle it!" Trini says.
"I may have an idea but it's gonna take all my energy! Let's end this once and for all! Sky, you ready?" Mysterio asks as he executes his ultimate attack. As he conjours a giant green ball of energy as Sky tapped his chest as a giant blaster was conjured up as his suit changed
"SWAT mode!" Sky shouted as he blasted the being before Mysterio threw the ball of energy at the being which causes him to explode.
Fury and his crew arrived at the scene minutes later as Peter looks around.
"Parker! You had ONE JOB! you were supposed to help Beck and NOT let the elemental get too powerful! What happened?" Fury asked as Peter looks down.
"Sir, the situation was that there were civilians caught in the crossfire! He had no choice but to help! I wouldn't get upset about that." Sky explained.
"That wasn't the mission, the mission was to stop the damn elemental! There wasn't supposed to be any civilians in the area!" Fury snapped.
"Ok, I have to stop this now, we're here to help people! Not to make progress on your own agenda! Peter did what was right! I'm not gonna sit here and let you chew his ass out because he saved people who COULD'VE DIED! Besides we destroyed it didn't we? That was the goal!" Trini snapped back
"Correction, Beck, Mr Tate and whoever those other people were destroyed it! You both only made it worse and I ain't gonna sit here and get lectured by a teenager! You both got gifts, kids But you didn't want to be here. I'd love to have you in France, but you've got to decide whether you two are going to step up or not. Stark chose you. He made you Avengers. I need that. The world needs that. Maybe Stark was wrong. The choice is yours." Fury said as he walked away as Sky looked at the duo and put his hand on his shoulder.
"Personally, I think you two did the right thing. I'm going to have a conversation with him when we get back to base. What he said was complete and utter crap! You two go back to your class and wait for further instructions. Let us know what's up!" Sky said sympathetically as he left
SP-PR-MRS
Unknown to the party, another group watched them from afar: Another team of rangers. Not the Dragon Drivers. Not Space, Wild, Alien, SPD, Time or any other team. No, these were clearly a team all their own:
Each member had a short cape jetting out from their shoulders, and their team emblem was the kanji for 'Hero'. There was also no Red Ranger among them; they had a Green, Yellow, Pink, Blue, Silver and a Jade ranger, the last of whom was observing the scene from afar.
"Well, that confirms this isn't our universe," He mused, the Yellow Ranger joining him. "By the looks of things, we're earlier than we aimed for…."
"Gotta say; I didn't expect the great Spiderman to be so…Baby faced" Yellow Ranger, whose suit was decorated with blades, mused. "….I kinda like it though. Reminds me of you, bro."
The Jade ranger tensed and blushed.
"Should I be jealous, ribbit?" The green ranger asked, making Yellow bolt to her feet and embrace her.
"Of course not, my froggy princess!"
"Awww!" The Pink ranger, who had a feathered boa on her shoulders, squealed. The Silver Ranger whipped out his phone and snapped a picture as Blue sat down beside Jade.
"We really should move on; follow that false hero…."
He clenched his fist in anger, memories filling him. Jade grabbed his shoulder and squeezed softly.
"He won't lose anyone like we did. I promise."
Memories of Jade and Yellow's filled their minds at those words: The ultimate sacrifice that had bought them so much time to prepare and had even allowed for this…..Oh yeah, other universe or not, the Rangers and Spidey of this verse WOULD have happier endings than the ones n their own.
Under his helmet, Blue smiled before turning to address the others.
"Everyone! Split up and find 'you know who and or what'! Just because this isn't our timeline doesn't mean we cant help out our predacessors! But! Only act if you know for sure…!"
"They all moved out already." Silver Ranger cut in.
"…Without our team name callout?" Blue asked, hanging his head in shame.
"Honestly, you care way more about that Izu does. And that's saying something, considering HE'S the fanboy…."
"Just make a path of ice already."
30 minutes later at the base.
Sky arrives at the base as Fury is looking at monitors
"Sir, can we have a discussion regarding Parker? Alone?" Sky asks as Fury steps away.
"If it's about what i think it's about. I think I reacted in the right way." Fury said as Sky nodded.
"Don't you think you were a little too harsh? I mean, he had a judgement call, There were lives at stake." Sky makes his case.
"The lives of everyone in the world and quite possibly the multiverse were at stake at the moment Mr Tate. Parker fully doesn't understand the gravity of the situation that was given. He had one mission, stop the Elemental from growing and he failed that mission. I'm trying to get him to step up and be the hero he needs to be!" Fury argues.
"I understand that sir, But at the same time, He's still a simple teenager. Granted one with powers but same difference. His job is not that different than being a Ranger. That's the difference between people like him and people like you. Maybe if you were in his shoes and been through what he's been through. You'd understand." Sky says which makes Fury nod.
"If you're trying to ask where my morals lie, you're way off base Mr Tate, here's my closing argument. Parker may be a teenager but already he's been proven to have the qualities of a leader. I'm just tired of waiting for him to prove it. If this gives him a wake-up call so be it. In his line of work and in yours I assume. You can't save everyone. Think about that next time you wanna challenge my morals. Now let's get back to finishing this up and end this once and for all." Fury says as Sky nods and walks outside.
Back at the Hotel
Peter sits in bed with bags under his eyes as Naruto snores. Annoyed, he tried to sleep, but no avial. Suddenly, he got a message:
'Wanna meet? Beck.'
He puts on his stealth suit and crawls out of the building as he walks to an abandoned bar.
He sits and thinks to himself.
"What if Fury was right? what if I'm not ready to be an Avenger? Much less leading a team?" Peter thought to himself as Beck joined him.
"Long night huh?" Beck asks sitting down at the bar
"Yeah, just giving myself a pity party." Peter says.
"Thinking about what Fury said huh?" Beck asks.
"Yeah, unfortunately... I've proven it time and time again. But he doesn't get it! What else do I have left to prove?" Peter asked himself as Beck smiled.
"Well I'll tell you one thing, you have a great heart Pete! Never lose that." Beck says.
"Well, a great heart isn't gonna help Fury so...I wanna give something to you!" Peter says as he pulls out the E.D.I.T.H glasses.
"What? Are you sure?" Beck asks surprised at Peter's actions.
"As Tony's successor I trust YOU! You'd be more responsible with them that I can be!" Peter says as Beck takes the glasses.
"E.D.I.T.H user change override, Beck, Quentin!" Peter tells E.D.I.T.H
"User Change accepted!" E.D.I.T.H says.
"Well I'm honored Pete, That's a big decision you made! What are you gonna do now?" Beck asks.
"I'm going to head back to my class and let you handle this and enjoy the rest of my trip!" Peter says as he gets up and leaves the pub with Beck smiling as the pub turns into a set with a crew and his suit turning into a motion capture suit.
"WE DID IT PEOPLE! we got him good didn't we?" Beck says to his crew as he grabs a glass of wine poured by a crew member as he takes a drink a hologram image of Zedd is shown on screen.
"Oh! I almost forgot about you!" Beck says nervously
"I should hope not, Mysterio! Have you made any progress on our arrangement?" Zedd demanded.
"Yes! I got a special weapon that can be used to destroy Spider Man and get your revenge on the Rangers! I just need time to execute the rest of my plan! It'll be done by tomorrow I assure you!" Beck answers.
"Remember, if I don't see a Spider or Rangers head on my ships floor, yours will be a fitting replacement! Do NOT fail me!" Zedd says as the hologram ends.
"Well! You heard him! No time to celebrate! Time to get back to work!" Beck says as the crew goes hard at work at different stations.
Meanwhile, a little later
Peter is in a deep sleep as Naruto hears a noise as he gets up and looks around.
He shrugs and lays down as a tranq dart is shot at him as he passes out.
As Naruto comes to, he looks around and notices he is tied to a chair as Beck walks to him.
"Oh Mr Beck! Thank goodness you're here! Some bozo kidnapped me! Can you help me out here?" Naruto asks in relief.
"I will! You just gotta help me out for a minute! I have no records of you in E.D.I. files...who are you and how do you know Spider Man?" Beck asks as Naruto catches on.
"What do you want with him?" Naruto asks as Beck smiled.
"Nothing that's personal. Just what's best for business! How do you know Peter Parker?" Beck asks.
"I don't have to tell you anything! I knew I was right to not trust you!" Naruto shouts as Beck laughs.
"It's Parker and his band of merry men that you shouldn't trust! They promised you a way home and has it occurred to you that they have not once worried about you?" Beck asked as Naruto broke the rope and stood up with his fists as Beck disappears.
Naruto walks around as feels around for an entrance only to be caught in a spider web
"You see my friend; Parker is stringing you in a web of lies! He doesn't care about you! He only cares about himself! He's only surrounding himself with people who stoop to his level!" Beck says as Naruto sets himself free from the web as he encounters a familiar face.
"OROCHIMARU!" Naruto shouts as he encounters a man with long black hair, a pale complexion and is tall and lanky in appearance standing on all fours as he creeps closer to Naruto.
"That's right Naruto! It's me! And I have something special to you!" The man says as he holds another familiar face. A woman with pink hair wearing a red shirt and red shorts
"Naruto!" The girl, Sakura, shouts as the man lifts her over an edge.
"Let her go!" Naruto shouts as he lunges, the man let's go of the woman as Naruto jumps, he lands into a bowl of ramen.
"You see, I'm the REAL hero here! One who's willing to make the REAL sacrifices. You're friends are just using you!" Beck says as Naruto looks around.
"You're lying, SHOW YOURSELF!" Naruto shouts as he walks into a room of mirrors as he break each mirror, a Mysterio grabs him by the arm and makes a hypno circle appear in his fishbowl helmet as Naruto stands motionless.
"You will do my bidding." Beck says.
"I will do your bidding" Naruto repeats.
"You will help me find Parker and his Friends." Naruto says.
"I will help you find Parker and his Friends." Naruto repeats again.
"Bingo!" Mysterio says as Naruto nods.
"What is your first task master?" Naruto asks.
"Go back to your class and lead Parker and his friends to France! I'll tell you more later!" Beck says as Naruto leaves and Beck's illusion fades.
