I went in for a superman punch to Mantor, only for him to take hold of my arm and flip me into the air. Weiss tried to kick the side only for him to duck under it and kick her leg out, making her fall to the ground. Jaune didn't do any better than us two, with him getting kicked so hard, that he was sent flying into a building. I landed on the ground on all four, like a cat. I and Weiss ran at the monster before we sent out a flurry of punches and kicks, only for all of them to get blocked with ease. Mantor grabbed one arm of mine and Weiss, before he threw us into two different cars.
I let out a pained groan, before I looked up to see a kick coming straight at me. I didn't have time to dodge the attack before I was sent flying into a building. Jaune came running at Mantor with a powerful kick only for him to miss before getting slammed to the ground. Weiss tried to help by throwing a punch at Mantor but only for her to hit Jaune instead of Rinshi beast warrior, when Jaune tried to get up from the ground. Jaune stumbled back onto the ground from the hit, while Weiss tried her best to keep up with the monster.
Weiss was finally able to land a few punches on Mantor before she kicked his leg out of him. Mantor spun on the ground and kicked her leg also out of her. Both of them landed on the ground at the same time, before both of them flipped off the ground before Weiss tried to land a dropkick. Mantor was able to take a hold of her leg mid-air before throwing her at the Blue ranger. Weiss's body hit the Blur Ranger hard and fast before both of them fell to the ground.
"Watch it." I snapped at her, as my frustration over the one-sided beating was getting to me as I shoved her off me. Weiss was down to the ground in an unladylike manner before she glared at me. I ignored her glare as I ran at the monster with Jaune by my side. Jaune and I threw a punch at the same time at the monster, only for it to slip under the punches, and made it so that the punches were against each other instead of him. I and Jaune punch connected to each other as it hit our faces.
Both our heads snapped back from the powerful blow before we were about to fall down to the ground, Weiss ran between us and performed a flying kick at Mantor. Her attack failed as Mantor took hold of her leg and slammed her onto Jaune and me on the ground. All of us let out a scream of pain from the hit. I did a slip off the ground before I tried to do a spinning kick at Mantor. Mantor did the same thing and when our kicks met simultaneously, Mantor overpowered my own kick. Mantor then punch me in the chest, which had me flying backward.
Weiss and Jaune did their own flip off the ground before attacking the monster as one. Mentor dismantle them in just a mere few seconds before sending them back to me. I got up from the ground, only to be met with a flurry of powerful punches to every part of my body before I was slammed to the ground.
"I had enough playing with you three." Mantor said in a rather bored tone. "It's time to end this." And right before our eyes, Mantor enlarges himself to be above any building. I looked up at the giant monster before my mouth opened before I could think.
"We are dead." I said out loud, but just before the giant monster could step on us and kill us. A giant wildcat came out of nowhere and started to attack our opponent. I, Weiss, and Jaune started to move away from the two fighting giants while taking cover. As I was watching the fight, I could see the wildcat was the one who was winning. The wildcat took a hold of Mator before throwing him to the side and into the sky. The giant wildcat, looked down at us before it disappeared.
"I wasn't the only one that saw that, right." Jaune asked out loud while I and Weiss nodded.
We were back at the pizza parlor sitting down at a table. All of us were hurt and bruised, some more than others. The fight hadn't gone the way I thought it would, with us beating him in our first attempt, like every Power Ranger show. It seems that even tho with have this power, we don't have the fighting experience to use them.
I looked over to Jaune, who had an ice pack on his head while looking up at the ceiling. I looked over to Weiss, who looked okay with just a bit of a bruise on her right arm. Then we have me, who was covered from head to toe in bruises, and it hurt like hell. I let out a sigh as I leaned back on my chair, looking up to the ceiling like Jaune was doing. This day was turning into the worst thing in my entire life.
First I die, come back to life get my ass beaten, I become a power ranger, just to get my ass beaten for a second time. I mean, what kind of bullshit is that. Did god or whatever just bring me back to life, to see me got my ass beaten for its own amusement? If that was the case, then fuck you to whatever brought me back to life.
"It seems like your first real fight, didn't go so well." We all turned around to see RJ standing there. I sent a deadpan look to him, Weiss glared at him, and Jaune didn't move his eyes away from the ceiling. "I'll take the faces that you two are making as an answer." He said before he started walking toward us and sat at the table. "From what I saw on the tv, you three have no hand-to-hand combat experience."
"What gave that away, the fact the monster beat us." I asked him in a sarcastic voice. "I blame Weiss for getting in the way when I ran at the Rinshi beast warrior." I said as Weiss gave me a baleful look at me.
"Get in the way, in the way, I was the only one who actually did damage to him." Weiss shrieked like a banshee. "You and Jaune were absolutely useless in that fight, you get thrown around like a bunch of ragdolls. And that is not even the worst part, somehow the two of you managed to hit each other rather than the monster." She all but screams at me.
"Weiss didn't you miss the monster that one time and hit me" Jaune asked before Weiss shut her mouth close, while I gave her a smug look. "And Jack, Weiss is right about her doing better in that fight than we did." Jaune said and my smug look faded away from my face.
"At least I did better than you Jaune." I said, but I didn't know if I did actually do better than him. The only thing that seem to have gone right, was the fact that we were able to defeat the Rinshi warriors. I turned my head to RJ when he made a noticeable cough sound.
"Why don't you three follow me upstairs." He said before he got up from the table and we did the same. We were a bit slow to get there before we finally got there, just to see RJ standing over a circular dojo mat. But the weirdest thing was that somehow RJ could change his clothes to training clothes in the time it took us to get here. How the hell did he do that?
"Weiss would you please take a step into the ring." RJ asked Weiss and she complied with it before she stepped into the ring. RJ took hold of both of Weiss's arms before saying. "You have the spirit of the tiger. The tiger is considered one of the most powerful animals. The tiger style is characterized by strength and agility. This style directly charges opponents through circular arm movements and low kicks.
"Jack." RJ ordered before I step into the ring and stood next to Weiss. And just like Weiss, RJ took hold of both my arms." You have the spirit of the Jaguar. Unlike the Tiger, the Jaguar style finds strength not just in power, but through efficient and accurate stealth techniques, and some dirty moves. Its goal is to swiftly inflict pain through accurate and precise strikes targeting the soft-tissue regions and vital areas like the neck, temple, and groin." I nodded to that.
"Jaune." Jaune took a step forward and stood next to me. RJ did the same thing, he did to me and Weiss. "You have the spirit of the Cheetah. Your style does not focus on strength or power, your style is all about speed and accuracy. Its goal is to take down your opponent as fast as you can without taking any damage to yourself. You need to be able to think faster than your opponent or opponents, and never waste a movement or attack." Jaune nodded before RJ took a step back and looked at all of us.
"From what I saw on the Tv, none of you have ever trained in hand-to-hand combat which means, that you three have never trained with the order of the claws masters." RJ said it in an accusatory tone of voice. "Since none of you have the training for what it takes to be a Power Ranger, I'm going to train you until you can't move."
"I have been training to be a huntress since I was ten." Weiss bristled at the Insinuation that she hadn't been trained. I took note of the word Huntress and was going to ask her about that later." I know all about fighting, just because I couldn't fight the Rinshi warriors in hand-to-hand combat, doesn't mean I can't fight at all. After all, I have been trained in swordsmanship." Weiss informed RJ.
"So you are a one-trick pony." RJ told Weiss, the latter of the two looked offended at that." Just because you know one martial art doesn't mean you are good enough to take on a Rinshi-beast warrior. And on a second note, you can't use a weapon that does not come from your Battle Claws which is a part of your three's Jungle Fury Power Rangers uniform. It's used to summon your various weapon, that is strong enough not to break when you are in a fight." RJ explained to us while I and Jaune nodded at that, Weiss seem to just get angrier.
"I'll have you know that Myrtenaster is a Multi-Action Dust Rapier. The rapier has a revolving chamber inside the guard, which has six slots in total, each of which contains a vial of powdered Dust. The revolving chamber is constantly stocked with red, cyan, purple, white, yellow, and blue Dust." Weiss spoke proudly about her weapon as she explained to Rj what it could do. "So, I have complete faith that Myrtenaster is strong enough to hold in a fight against the Rinshi beast warriors or normal Rinshi warriors." She finished saying.
"And that's why you can't use your weapons in a fight against the Rinshi." RJ looked Weiss in the eyes like a teacher about to lecture a student. "Your weapon has too many moving parts to be efficiently used in close combat situations. How will you use your weapon when the Rishis are within punching distance from you? Or were you planning on not fighting them hand-to-hand and just staying back and watching as Jack and Jaune fight them?" RJ explained to her calmly before adding. "Is that what kind of leader you are?" Weiss froze when she heard that she was the leader of our little team.
"I'm the leader." Weiss asked RJ, as he nodded at her. Weiss couldn't believe what she was hearing. She had always dreamed about being a leader of her own team. She shook her head, right now she needed to focus before she looked at RJ. "May I ask why you pick me as the leader?"
"Each one of your colors is a representation of your personality." RJ said before he started with Weiss. "Mostly, red is symbolized as a team-lead color. Red rangers are described as the most highly dedicated, and the bravest among the Power Rangers. Red is an icon of, strength, and passion. Jack was picked as the Blue Ranger. The blue Rangers are associated with loyalty, focus, and conscientiousness. They always stand by and are in charge as the second hand of the team. Jaune was picked as the Yellow Ranger. Yellow rangers are the warmest and most cheerful people you will ever meet. I believe that each one of you can represent your colors to the fullness." RJ said before he turned around and started to pick each one of us a weapon.
"Weiss." RJ called out before showing her one red nunchucks. "The nunchuck can be some of the best close-combat weapons if you know how to use one correctly." He informed her before he handed it over to her. Weiss with no hesitation started to swing the nunchuck around like a master. "I guess you know how to use it." Weiss just smiled.
"Jaune." RJ presented him with a bow staff. "Training with a bo staff is great conditioning for the upper body, and there are an almost infinite number of bo techniques and tricks that beginning and skilled practitioners can learn." Jaune took the weapon before he started to slowly move it around.
"Lastly, Jack." RJ said before he showed me a pair of Tonfa. "This weapon allows the user to strike his opponent multiple times in short periods." I started to move the weapon around, and to my utter surprise, it felt good.
"Each one of you will master your individual weapon before we can move on to the next step." Our master said with a smile before the smile faded." Time to train." I didn't like the sound he make while saying that.
It was now the next day and I let out a tired groan before I yawned into my hand. I slowly got up from the bed and started to stretch out and I notice that Jaune was getting up too. It turned out that RJ had two empty rooms that were available, one small and one big. Weiss took the small one while Jaune and I shared the bigger one between the two of us. I started to put on the clothes that I came with from my old world before I walked out of the room.
I could feel how sore my muscles were after yesterday's training with had with RJ. I would have never known that RJ could be such a hard master, nor did I foresee the pain I was going to get from it. I heard a sound before I looked behind me to see Jaune, as he was in the middle of a yawn. I started to walk to the kitchen to make myself something to eat before it was time to learn about, how to make pizzas. Once I was in the kitchen, I started to make some breakfast for myself.
"Do you need any help?" I turned around to see Jaune was there. I thought over what he asked before I answered him.
"Grapp some eggs, bacon, and bread." I said to him before I started to prepare an American breakfast. Once Jaune had all the stuff I asked for, I started to instruct him on his job before both of us got to work. Jaune and I were moving around like two home cooks chefs.
"You are really good at this" Jaune said from out of nowhere before I looked over at him.
"I guess after raising four out of six siblings, you will get good at some stuff." I answer him with a chuckle. I looked at Jaune just to see him confused over what I just said.
"You raise four of your siblings." He asks.
"Yeah, mom and dad didn't have time to raise them, so the responsibility was upon me to take care of them, and make sure they were raised the right way." I answer him with a casual tone. "I mean, I was seven at the time, and didn't know how to take care of four kids at different ages, but I did my best and they saw me as the mean parent, while mom and dad were seen as the cool people." I said with a huff before I looked at him." What about you, you got any siblings?"
Jaune seemed to be taken aback by the sudden change in the subject before he answered. "Yeah, I got seven sisters of my own, and I was born the middle child." He added the last part. After that, both of us went into detail about our relationship with our siblings. While Jaune seems to have a great relationship with each of his sisters, I had an okay relationship with my five brothers and one sister. My relationship with my oldest little brother was bad since the only thing we did to each other at best was curse each other out, or at worst beat each other until we are stopped by someone.
But I didn't want to ruin the mood, so just told him that my relationships were excellent and nothing was wrong. But from the look he gave me, I don't think that he actually believed the blatant lie I told him. I heard the sound of feet steps before I looked to see who it was, just to see RJ and Weiss standing there. I motion my head for them to sit down before I went back to cooking the food for us. After a few minutes, the food was finally done, so Jaune and I started to plate the table and give each one their own plate. After that, I and Jaune were finally able to sit down and begin to eat.
"Did you all sleep well?" RJ was the first one to talk before we all looked at him.
"I had a very restful night of sleep." Weiss said with a bit of formality in her voice. "Even tho that training we did yesterday, was rather unorthodox." That was a nice way of putting it, if it was me, I would say the RJ training methods were weird as hell.
"Speak for yourself." Jaune started to crack his neck. "I feel like I have been put through the wringer. " Jaune said and I could just hear how tired he was right now. He took a bit of the food before his face lit up. "This is good."
"I'm with Jaune on this." I said out loud. "I have never been in so much pain before today. And I kinda want to quit being a Power Ranger if I have to train like this every day." I took a bit of my bacon before I notice that everyone's eyes were upon me.
"You can't be serious." Weiss looked utterly shocked over what she just heard. "You will quit saving people because you don't want to train." Wait why is she confused?
"Yeah." I answered her simply, everyone seem to be taken aback by the answer for some reason.
"Jack you are joking right." Jaune asked with a nervous chuckle before I shook my head at him
"Why would I risk my life for a stranger I don't know, I rather not be a Ranger if I have to do that." I said to them with no room for arguing. Weiss looked like she was going to say something, only for me to stand up and walk out.
"Have a nice day." I said to a customer before they walked out of the pizza parlor with their pizza. Once they were out, I let out a groan of despair. I never knew that customers could be such assholes. I feel sorry for the waiters and waitresses that work in customer service. They have to put up with a lot of shit from people they don't even know.
"Having a tough day." I turned around to see RJ before I huffed.
"The customers are assholes, those animals." RJ normally calm face turned into a frown.
"Don't call them animals." RJ said with a bit of anger in his voice, I frown at him.
"Why shouldn't I, they have animal parts, so they are animals." I retorted to him, trying my best to get on his nerves to see what I could say without getting in trouble. RJ got right in my face while I had a smug look on my face.
"You will not call any Faunus animals, do you understand." I stared at him for a few seconds and RJ stared right back at me. Just when I was about to say something racist about Faunus, Jaune came through the kitchen. Jaune noticed the atmosphere between me and RJ before he spoke.
"Is something wrong? " The yellow ranger asked before I answer him, RJ was the one to talk first.
"Jack was just about to run to get some more supplies." RJ said with a cherry tone of voice before handing me a piece of paper. I glared at RJ before I walked out of the building. I felt that I hit my shoulder against someone but I just kept walking past them.
I pulled out a thing called a scroll that Weiss bought me before I searched for the location on the paper. I begin my walk to the location where my scroll pulled out. While I was walking down the street, I couldn't help but let my eyes wander at what I was seeing. From what I could see, the buildings weren't any different from the ones on earth. I guess even in a different world, humans build things the same way.
From what I could see, everything was almost the same as in my old world. If I didn't know that I was in a different world, I wouldn't have thought about it. I let out a sigh as I thought about my old world before I looked forward again, not at the ground. I looked at the scroll to see that I was about five minutes away from where I was supposed to be.
Finally, after five minutes I was where I was supposed to be. I looked at the building in front of me before I walked into it. When I came in through the door, a pie almost hit me in the face, but it miss me by an inch. I was seeing two people running around like wild animals and the adult was throwing stuff at the other one. I was pushed aside from what I believed was a child running out of the building, with food in its arms.
"Don't ever come back here, you Faunus animal." The person I believe was the owner shouted out before slamming the door shut. The owner let out an angry sigh before he turned to me and smiled. "Hello young man, welcome to my lovely store." The rather fat man said to me before I nodded.
"I'm here to pick up something for my boss named RJ." I told him before he thought over it and nodded soon after it. The fat man started to walk, and I just followed after him while thinking over what I saw happening. It didn't take long before I got the packet and walked out of the store.
When I was out of the store an assertive smell came into my nose, after a few seconds of sniffing, I figured out that it was blood I was smelling. I started to follow after the smell of blood before I came to an alleyway with four people inside of it. I looked down to see the child from before beaten to a bloody mess.
Luna let out a gasp of pain, as she felt another kick to the stomach hit her hard enough for blood to come out of her mouth. Luna tried her best not to scream, she had learned that if she screamed, more pain will follow it. She tried her best to get up from the ground, only for her to get kicked in the face again. Faunus's girl let out a whimper which the teens noticed.
"Oh is the animal going to cry?" The leader said while having the smuggest smile on his face.
"It seems like the animal is going to cry for her animal mother." One of the other boys said in a taunting-sounding voice. The boy gripped her hair before pulling her up by it and making her almost cry out in pain. The boy raises his hand back for a punch only to stop mid-punch at the sound of a new voice coming.
"I would put her down if you three don't want to die." The new stranger said in a rather casual tone. Luna moves her head to the side to see another human male coming toward them with a packet in his arms. The leader of the teenage group started to walk toward the stranger by himself, before they came face to face.
"You don't want to be that cocky around here. " The leader said to the brown-skinned guy while he just looked bored."So why don't you leave us with the animal girl, and you just walk away." He said while motioning him to move away. Luna couldn't let this person get hurt because of her, she need to do something.
"You need to run, they will kill you." Luna shouted to the stranger, only for her to get slapped in the face. She let out a pained cry and the stranger tensed up at the sound.
"What if I didn't run." The brown teenager started to say and slowly a smile came onto his face as he kept talking. "What if I'm not a coward, what if I want them to kill me." The smile on his face turned bloodthirsty as he looked at the leader. "What if I want them to try." He finishes saying before slamming a metal rod onto the leader's head and knocking him out cold. Once the leader hit the ground the teenager started to beat the rod on his back over and over again, before he came running at the other two. Luan swears she heard bones breaking when he did that.
Luna felt the grip on her hair being let go as the teenager that was holding her let her go, to dodge an attack from the stranger. The second teenager didn't have time to dodge the second attack before bone breaking sound could be heard as his leg was broken in two. The boy was on the ground and was letting out a cry of pain before his mouth was covered by a hand and he was looking into the eyes of his attacker.
"I'm going to enjoy this." He said before he started to repeatedly beat him over with the metal rod in the face. It didn't take long before the teen on the ground was covered in blood while the only teenager left standing was staring at the scene in horror. After a while of the brown teenager beating the life out of the person he was sitting on, he finally got up. The Faunus girl looked at the person on the ground, just to see that his face was caved in.
"One left." He said with a manic smile as he slowly moved to the last teenager. The closer he got, the more terrified his last victim was starting to get, and just when he was three steps away from his victim, he started to plead for his life
"Please spare me." he started to stammer his words out as he was talking. "I'll do anything, just don't kill me." The stranger raises the metal rod and just when he was about to slam it down, the metal rod hit the person with enough force to break his bone in one hit. But before the person could scream in pain, he was hit with another hit to the face which knocked him out. Luna watches as her savior let the metal rod go before he started to walk out of the alleyway.
"The weak die, the strong survive." Was the only thing he said to her before he walked away. The man would never know, how those words affected her.
I was on a chair being scolded by Weiss as I came back to the parlor with blood on me. I couldn't help but smile as this was kinda funny to me, that was before I could feel my ear being pulled on. I let out a sound of pain as I turned to Weiss with a glare as she was staring me down with an icy glare herself.
"Are you even paying attention?" Weiss asked while she was still glaring at me. "Now are you going to give me a reasonable explanation on why you're covered in blood?" I could see that Weiss was getting impatient, over the fact I was not answering her. I need to quickly come up with a lie before something came to mind.
"There were those three guys that were talking shit about me, so I decided to teach them a lesson in manners." I hope that it sounded believable. I could feel my confidence rising before I got hit in the back of the head. "What was that for, you icy bitch." I snapped my head up to look at her before I wilted like a rose, at the glare she was giving me. Weiss huffed before she walked away from me and left me alone.
Once she was gone, I let out a sigh before I looked down at the bloody shirt I had on, I have maybe gone too far in that fight. I would never regret what I did to them, they deserve it and more. I felt like someone was watching me, so I turned to see RJ. I glared at him as he moved toward with.
"Why did you lie to her." I tense when I hear him say that. "Why not tell her how you save the little Faunus girls life." RJ said, how the hell did he know what happened? No need to panic I just need to calm the fuck down. I took a few deep breaths before I looked at RJ with an innocent look.
"I don't know what you are talking about." I said with the most innocence I could muster within myself. RJ gave me the most deadpan look, I have ever gotten from anyone.
"So you are going to pretend that you never saved that child from getting killed?" I stared at him innocently for a while before RJ gave up. I watch as RJ walked away from me with a warm smile on my face before saying.
"What a great day."
