Act 3: Debut Of The Red Samurai
Toshinori Yagi walked down the pathway leading towards Takoba Municipal Beach park, for the last few weeks there had been a surge of villains so he had been late for his successors' training. A couple of weeks ago, Mirio began telling him about a duo showing up there to train there as well; an old man and a young green haired kid around his age. The second description that Mirio had given him matched one of a kid he'd saved a few months back.
When he reached the park's entrance, he saw the beach was now entirely free of trash. The only thing there now was a glorious sunrise and the two teens. The skeletal man was then caught off guard by someone else sitting nearby. "So you must be Young Togata's trainer."
Toshinori turned to look at who said it, an old man stared back at the skeletal pro. "Yes I am, my name is Toshinori Yagi."
"Ji Kusakabe, I am Young Midoriya's mentor." Ji got up to shake the man's hand. "Its remarkable that Young Togata managed to clean up most of the beach in just five months, you've trained him well"
Down on the beach, the two teens noticed the skeletal man's arrival. "Hey, is that your trainer?" Izuku asked.
"Yeah." Mirio replied.
"Oh, I didn't expect him to be so… thin." was surprised by the skeletal man's appearance.
"Looks can be deceiving." Mirio replied, he began walking towards the duo. "Morning Sensei!"
"Morning Young Mirio." Toshinori greeted his student, he then looked over to the other teen. 'I knew it, you're the kid I saved from that Sludge Villain.' he raised a hand to greet the teen. "You must be Young Midoriya."
"Y-yeah i am, it's nice to meet-" Izuku went to greet the man, only to be startled by an alarm on his phone. "Huh? Oh shoot! Sorry for running off like this but I gotta get going." Izuku said before running out the park's entrance.
As Izuku ran down the pathway, Ji turned back to the teacher and his student. "I need to make my leave as well, i have other duties to attend to, it was good to finally meet you Yagi." he said before walking off.
After the two left, Toshinori transformed into his muscle form and turned to his student. "Now then Young Mirio, it is time I pass the torch of One For All to you. You've worked your butt off for this power for months, you've earned it." he said as he plucked a hair from his head.
Mirio stared back at the hero with a smile on his face, ready to inherit the quirk of the Symbol of Peace.
"Eat This."
LATER AT ALDERA JUNIOR HIGH
"And remember, all the homework is due Friday." The teacher said as the bell rang, as Izuku was packing his things, a hand reached out and snatched his new Campos notebook away.
"Oi Deku!" Katsuki snarled, he stared at the notebook in disgust. "Are you still trying to get into UA? I Thought i told you that you had no chance of getting in!"
"A- ah kacchan, i'm not aiming for the hero course anymore but i still want to get into the general studies course." Izuku stated.
"don't even bother." Katsuki scowled before setting the notebook alight. "I'm the only one in this crappy school who's getting into UA, so stay the hell out of my way!" He then threw the charred notebook out the window.
Katsuki began to walk out of the classroom when he heard Izuku argue back. "I'm gonna try my best to get into UA Kacchan, you're not stopping me."
Katsuki grabbed Izuku by the collar, letting off a few small explosions. "What the hell did you say Deku?!"
"Y-you heard me Kacchan!" Izuku tightly grabbed Katsuki's wrist.
Katsuki stared at Izuku in anger before pushing him to the ground. "whatever stupid Deku." For the past month, that stupid nerd had been growing more and more of a backbone, Katsuki didn't know what caused it but it pissed him off something fierce.
After finishing packing, Izuku headed outside to retrieve his burnt notebook. After grabbing it he quickly ran to the back of the school and hid behind the dumpster, he pulled out his Samuraizer and wrote the kanji for repair (修理) and in a flash the notebook was good as new. Izuku then put it in his backpack before heading to the train station.
…
THE NETHERWORLD
A bleak landscape full of dull fog, a crimson river that went on forever and monsters.
One tentacle faced monster sat staring at a crack in the ground, repeatedly tapping his staff on the ground out of boredom. Then a sudden small red glow began coming through the cracks in the ground, the red glow began to spread throughout the ground and then gave off a small burst of energy.
the monster's eyes widened at the burst of energy. "What? The seal, it cracked?" the monster then let out a chuckle that turned into a haunting laugh before turning to the monsters that surrounded him. "Moogers, go to the human world!" He commanded the mindless horde through the crack.
…
THE SHIBA HOUSE
Izuku stood unarmed and motionless with his eyes closed, he took in a deep breath as several of the Kuroko surrounded him with training swords at the ready. One of the Kuroko ran up to the teen and swung their sword at him, Izuku opened his eyes and caught the blade before it made contact, he then kicked them back.
The rest of the Kuroko ran in to attack the young teen, one of them swung their blade but Izuku ducked under it and elbowed them back, another of the Kuroko thrusted their blade at Izuku but he dodged the attack, he then grabbed the Kuroko by the arm and threw him into another of the Kuroko. Two other Kuroko ran at Izuku from either side, Izuku ducked to the ground right before they swung their swords, knocking each other to the ground. The last Kuroko threw a flurry of slashes at the teen, Izuku dodged the attacks and then threw a kick, knocking the sword out of the Kuroko's hand, he caught it and thrusted it at the Kuroko, knocking him to the ground.
After dealing with the Kuroko, Izuku turned to look at Ji. The Kuroko watched on as Ji and Izuku circled each other, Izuku then pulled out his Samuraizer and wrote out the kanji for smoke (煙), in an instant Ji was surrounded by a thick cloud of smoke, unable to see where Izuku would attack from, Ji took in a deep breath and closed his eyes as Izuku ran at him from behind.
Ji opened his eyes and swung his sword at Izuku but the teen ducked to dodge the attack, Izuku went to strike but Ji blocked his attack, the old man then sent a barrage of attacks at the teen, Izuku was barely able to block them all. As Izuku blocked the attacks, he kept an eye out for an opening to attack, when he spotted one he threw his own wave of attacks, forcing Ji to go on the defensive. After several attacks, Ji pushed the teen back and pulled out his own Samuraizer and quickly wrote out the kanji for impact (影響) and launched it at Izuku. The teen tried to block the attack and was actually able to hold his ground but was ultimately launched back a few meters, on the ground and disarmed.
Ji ran at Izuku, prepared to strike a finishing blow, as the old man ran at him, Izuku quickly thought of a counter attack. Ji raised his sword and swung it down at Izuku, the teen dodged out of the attack's way, Izuku put his plan into action by grabbing onto Ji's sword, he then threw a back kick at Ji, disarming the old man and knocking him to the ground.
As Ji went to get up, he found Izuku standing over him and holding Ji's sword at his neck. "Impressive." Ji laughed as he nudged the sword away and got to his feet. "Although we'll have to work on dodging attacks, the Nighlok won't just be using physical weapons to attack."
"Right." Izuku said as he handed Ji his sword back, they were about to continue training when an alarm suddenly began blaring from inside the shiba house. "W-what's that?!" Izuku asked.
"Oh no." Ji said in a panic, the two ran inside and into the main room. Ji slammed his hand down onto the center table, pulling up a map of Japan, centring in on Musutafu. "The Nighlok have returned and are attacking Tatooine station." Ji stated, he then looked up to the teen. "Are you ready for this?" Ji asked.
After a second Izuku nodded before running out to the courtyard, he wrote the kanji for gate (門) a gateway to Tatooine station materialized and Izuku ran out through it, the Kuroko were not far behind, carrying banners and flags over their shoulders.
NEARBY TATOOINE STATION
The pro hero Death Arms ran down the street while Kamui Woods swung from rooftop to rooftop, the two were making their way to Tatooine Station after reports of monsters appearing out of thin air and attacking the station. "So what do you think the situation is? Group of villains with mutant quirks?" Death Arms asked the flora based hero.
"Maybe, a few of them have been popping up recently" Kamui Woods replied.
A third voice caught the two heroes off guard. "Or it could be another instant villain case like in Naruhata five years ago." The two looked back to see the Turbo Hero: Ingenium running not far behind them.
"Ingenium? What're you doing here?" Death Arms asked.
"I got invited to a press event, didn't expect to be running into villains" Ingenium replied.
The trio ran past several fleeing civilians before reaching the station's entrance, a pit formed in their stomachs when they saw the monsters that were reported: they were horrifying, faces with giant mouths and lacking eyes, clad in bronze armour and wielding swords.
"What the hell are those things?" Death Arms' eyes widened at the sight of the horde.
The lovecraftian monsters turned their heads to the three and charged at them, the heroes prepared themselves for battle.
Death Arms threw one of the mindless monsters across the street, only to be attacked by three more. "Arrgh! Where the hell did these guys come from!?"
Kamui Woods tried to restrain a group of the monsters but they kept slashing through his roots. "damnit whatever they are, they're not going down without a fight!"
Ingenium tried to fight them off but all that did was piss them off "Arghh! There's too many of them, somebody call All M-" One of the monsters slammed into the hero, knocking him to the ground. The monster was about to run the hero through but it was knocked back by a small flying object.
The object began to distract some of the monsters, the heroes began to hear the sounds of drums approaching, after distracting and knocking back several monsters, the object returned to its master.
Everyone looked over to see black figures with raised white banners and flags, after a moment the drums stopped and a bright red flash appeared from behind the banners, the figures then pulled back the banners to reveal a masked figure clad in red.
…
Izuku stared at the horde of Moogers in front of him, he reached down to his belt buckle and pulled out a black spin disc, he attached it to the Spin sword's hilt. He pulled the sword from its sheath and rested it on his shoulder. "Red Samurai Ranger, ready."
After a moment to collect his thoughts, he charged into the oncoming horde, he slashed a couple of Moogers that ran at he before kicking the one off Ingenium and striking it down, he then helped the pro to his feet. "Get the civilians to safety! I'll deal with the Moogers!"
"Moogers? Who are you!?" Ingenium asked.
Izuku dodged the question when he saw a trio of Moogers about to strike, he pushed Ingenium out of the way and blocked their swords with his, he spun back around and slashed at all three of them. "I'll explain later, get everyone to safety!" The hero followed his orders as Izuku focused his attention back on the Moogers.
Izuku striked down two other Moogers, he then ran and kicked another one down onto the tracks, a group of Moogers all swung their swords at him, Izuku raised his sword to block their attack and slashed at them.
"S-stay back!" Izuku turned his head to see two teens his age trapped by a few Moogers; one was a girl with pink skin, pink hair and a pair of horns on her head. The other was a boy with medium black hair, red eyes and a scar just above his right eye. "I-i'm warning you!" the girl shouted before spraying something from her hands, it hit one of the Moogers in the chest, all it did was slightly damage the monster's armour.
Izuku ran over and sent out the Lion Zord to attack the Moogers, while the monsters were distracted, izuku struck them down. "Are you guys alright?" Izuku asked the two teens.
"What the!? Who are you?" the frightened boy asked.
"I'm someone who's here to help." Izuku said before blocking an attack from a Mooger and striking them back. "Are you guys alright? Was anyone else with you guys?"
"U-uh yeah our friends were with us." The pink girl answered. "We were gonna go see a movie but then these… things showed up, we ran for the entrance but we got separated."
Izuku began to form a plan. "Alright then, you guys run for the entrance and I'll protect you guys!"
"A-are you crazy?!" the boy shakily asked. "There are dozens of those guys! Aren't you scared?!"
"Terrified." Izuku answered. "But it's okay, I'm going to make sure the Moogers won't lay a hand on you." Izuku then sent out the Lion Zord to act as a distraction. "You ready?" the two nodded their heads. "Let's go!"
The three ran to the entrance, Izuku striking down any Moogers that approached them. They were almost at the entrance when a Mooger suddenly jumped at the group and knocked the girl to the ground. "Ashido!" the boy shouted, he then looked back at the monster as it thrusted their sword at him. Time slowed down for the boy as the blade was about to gut him, Izuku then slammed into the boy, knocking him out of the blade's path.
With a sudden sharp jolt of pain, Izuku fell to the ground while clutching his side. The Mooger then turned back to the frightened boy, prepared to finish him, only to be hit in the face by the girl's quirk. As the Mooger began clawing at its face in irritation, Izuku took his chance and ran his sword through the Moogers gut. "Are you alright?" the girl asked, seeing that Izuku was clutching his side.
"Yeah I'm fine, it only grazed me." Izuku reassured the frightened teens. "You two get to the go! I'll handle them!" The two teens then ran out the entrance while Izuku ran back to the platform to face the Moogers, cutting down a couple that ran at him.
Izuku was about to attack another Mooger when he heard something, the sound of an arrow being pulled back, he turned to see a row of Moogers on the other platform, aiming their bows at him. 'Archers!' Izuku thought as he began frantically dodging the arrows, when the Moogers began reloading their bows, Izuku took the opportunity and pulled out the Lion Fire Spin disc and attached it to his Spin sword, he spun the disc and launched a wave of fire at them. "Blazing Strike!" The Moogers were engulfed in flames by the attack, causing them to fall to the tracks below.
Izuku turned his attention back to the Moogers on the ground floor, cutting down and sending waves of fire at those who ran at him. Eventually the Moogers that were left all grouped up to attack, as the group charged at him, Izuku gave another spin of the disc and launched four slashes at them. "Fire Character Strike!" the attack struck the Moogers, causing a fiery explosion that disintegrated all of them…
All except one, it was launched straight into a wall, cracking it on impact. It stared in fear as Izuku approached it, the Mooger now had a choice, either it retreated or become rust on his blade. The Mooger took the former, retreating back to the NetherWorld through the crack on the wall.
Izuku exhaled in exhaustion as he placed his sword back on his belt, now that the adrenaline had worn off, he couldn't ignore the stinging pain in his side. As he clutched his wound, he heard a shout come from behind him. "Hey!"
…
Death Arms shouted at the masked vigilante. "Who the hell are you?!" the vigilante looked back at him before pulling something off his belt, it was a flip phone turned into something that looked like a paint brush. He used it to write out a red holographic streak, after writing the kanji for smoke (煙), he was engulfed in a cloud of smoke and when it cleared, he vanished. Death Arms blinked at the sudden disappearance, he looked back at the black figures that arrived with him and they had vanished as well. "What the hell?"
…
THE NETHERWORLD
The tentacle faced monster sat in the nether world, he was waiting for more Moogers to emerge so he could send them through to the human world. What he didn't expect however, was for a Mogger to crawl back from the human world. "Why did you return?" the monster asked.
The Mooger let out a shaky, panicked gurgle. "R-red, Red Ranger!"
The tentacle faced monster's eyes widened. "So, the samurai rangers still exist." the monster began to think about the implications of what he just learned, he then sent a blast of energy through the Mooger, killing it. "The master's gonna be furious when he resurfaces."
…
AT HOME
As he and his mom sat at the table for dinner, Izuku glanced to look at the tv. almost every form of media was covering his battle at Tatooine Station, he felt like a celebrity, even if he couldn't tell anyone about it.
"The identity of this "Red samurai ranger" is still unknown."
The tv then cut to footage of him saving the two students while fending off the Moogers. "That looked pretty scary, promise me that you wont ever get caught up in something like that." Inko asked her son after seeing the footage.
"I promise." even though Ji told him that was best to keep his status as a ranger a secret, he still felt bad for lying to her. After finishing his dinner, Izuku put his dishes in the sink and headed to his room, he sat at his computer and began to search up several internet forums about the "Red Samurai Ranger".
"That incident at Tatooine station was crazy! Who was that guy fighting those monsters?!"
"That fire quirk he has is crazy powerful, so cool!"
"No no he must have a teleportation quirk, no one can up and disappear like that!"
"What was that brush thing he used?! He must have like techno magic or something."
"That would explain that small robot that was flying all over the place."
"Whoever he was, he saved my life, so manly!"
Izuku couldn't help but smile at all the talk about him, he almost felt… No, he did feel like…
A hero.
