"I've found I enjoy being a firefighter and besides it might help keep me more grounded than simply responding to Extreme Disasters all the time"

"We understand sempai, we're just glad you're alive"

"Yeah it's good to be alive I can agree with that for sure"

Soon enough the testing specifically for Obuchi began and eventually they managed to work out a balance with the face shield that worked like his prescription sunglasses out in the sun yet didn't hinder his vision whenever he was in a building because they had learned that if he was going to go inside he took off his sunglasses and put them in a special pocket specifically designed for such situations, once that was completed they started bringing the team together for formalized training before becoming an official unit and the training went well until Obuchi froze up in the field but with good reason

"It can't be...Terra Resetter?!"

Obuchi froze with memories going through his mind not hearing his teammates until suddenly he got slapped

"Obuchi-san the training exercise has stopped"

"Training...right, just training"

His communication device beeped and he saw Ishiguro looking right at him

"Sorry Ishiguro, wasn't expecting to freeze up"

"Should have thought you might though and properly made sure your memories had been dealt with before now, it was too sudden all things considered"

"Yeah, it was, I'm fine now though Ishiguro, let's continue"

"Fine but if you freeze up again..."

"I know, therapists are in my future, might be a good idea anyways just to make sure I'm really actually medically cleared"

"We'll talk about that later, for now we're going to try the exercise again and..."

All of a sudden though they lost communication due to the fact that this time the Terra Resetter was real and not part of the exercise

"Instructor did you activate it?"

"It's not ours that's going off it's something else, more like someone else actually"

"Terra Resetter, who revived you?"

"Obuchi-san?"

"Member Obuchi, can you handle this?"

"Yes"

"Even if..."

"Those memories might actually come in handy, especially if they're the same ones that attacked my fire department and then went quiet"

"Very well I will trust you on this for now, but if you even think you're having issues let me know. I know that you're not officially activated as a team but I am sending you guys out into the field, let's just call this a test run to see just how far you've come in training"

They go to the scene and mainly follow the directions of Rescue Force when suddenly Obuchi realized what was needed. The reason the team was so unique was because they were a kind of combination of Rescue Force and Rescue Fire in how they handled Final Rescues. While they were supposed to get permission for the Final Rescue, they also had the authority to do a Final Rescue without request if they felt it was needed, it was a hard balancing act but they were learning

"Final Rescue"

He heard an automated voice say what the commanding officer would say if he had requested permission

"Explosively suppress it!"

Once the Final Rescue was completed they were surprised that the Terra Resetter was still functioning

"Okay now what?"

"Combine Final Rescues?"

"That works"

That's what they do and then the two groups together said the ending phrase after each Final Rescue

"Explosively completed"

"Looks like they're ready for the field Captain Ishiguro"

"Indeed, and I think we know who the field commander is going to be too"

"But will he accept it, and will they once they know his history which he's going to have to explain after his display today?"

"We'll have to find out, tell them I want to talk to them when they get back"

"Right"

They soon reach Rescue Phoenix

"You wanted to talk to us Captain?"

"Yes R2, we need to talk about something, Obuchi-sempai you know what it is too"

"Indeed I do Ishiguro, indeed I do"

"Oi don't talk so casually to the Captain"

"Actually he's the only one who has permission to do so considering the situation"

"Indeed, now then Ishiguro, you and Todoroki Hikaru already know the story, do you want the rest of your team to know as well since we'll be working together on occasion?"

"It would be safest for them Captain, after all with what happened in the field today it will help prepare them if it happens again and prevent accidents like what almost happened out there, if not for the fact that I was there..."

"Very well, but only if Sempai agrees"

"I do Ishiguro"

"Sempai?"

(Sighs) "I have a lot to explain to everyone except Ishiguro and Todoroki Hikaru considering they were there for part of the story and Ishiguro was actually there from the beginning in a way. First of all before I go into the full story you should know that this isn't the first time I have been part of Rescue Force. I was one of the original team members, I was the first R1"

Everyone who wasn't in the know looked at each other, looked at Obuchi, looked at each other again and then explained their shock in one united voice

"Eh?!"

Once they calmed down Obuchi explained the full story that only his station knew and that story took over an hour mainly due to several interruptions

"I managed to channel the Daen personality as a means of doing my best for the rescue but when that personality comes out I...become slightly more aggressive and not as focused on my safety it seems. Mainly because when I was Daen I was in my base safe for the most part and focused on destroying Earth. This time my focus will be on rescuing people but I might put the danger I am in in the background instead of actively keeping a full awareness of my surroundings like I'm supposed to"

"Or if it comes out during the fight like today his punches get much harder but that battle focus only lasts until after he's done taking care of the one attacking him, if I wasn't there he would have been severely hurt because he wasn't watching his back like he should have"

"And the training exercise before the extreme disaster?"

"I froze with the memories of what I had done as Daen, and I need to work that out if we're going to take care of the new enemy, which has appeared once before but then they went into hiding for some reason"

"In the meantime you guys need to come to an important decision now that you know his story. Do you trust him to be field commander even with his newly discovered issue or do you want to help us find people who will trust him and back him up?"

"What about base commander?"

"They know and understand him enough to trust him in everything"

"Oh?"

"It's Nancy's apprentice, Shiraki Juri"

"She knows the story too, that's good to know"

"Still you guys haven't answered the question of if you trust him or not"

"Can we have a little time to think about this?, we're sort of in information overload right now"

"That makes the most sense, training is suspended for a week while you guys make your decisions, you can go back to your normal jobs during that time and explain that events happened during training that required you guys to take a break to think things through about joining Rescue Force even part time, it was actually done with the original team too now that I think about it"

"It was, mainly because we were going to be new and they wanted to make sure we were resolved in dealing with such consequences in regards to battles to be trusted at sites that needed us"

"And there were battles, remember that one argument sempai?"

"Oh yeah I remember, better than you anyways considering you got a concussion that day"

"Actually I think I do clearly remember that argument"

"Either way, we need time away from here to think about everything, and a week should do"

So Obuchi goes back to the fire department and explains the situation about everyone getting a week to decide if they really wanted to be part of the unit or not

"But why?"

"Because of me, they finally heard the story about me being part of the original Rescue Force and how I became Daen, they need time to decide if they trust me or not especially because my Daen personality seems to come out during rescues"

"So because of your past..."

"Mostly, but it really is a good idea for them to decide now if they really want to be part of Rescue Force or not especially as we're going to only be part time members which means we won't be called on as much and they need to decide if such training is worth being called so little compared to what they're doing now in their civilian lives"

Things started out okay but then one day they responded to a fire when suddenly they were attacked by robots plus a wave of energy was suddenly felt

"Terra Resetter"

"Now what?"

"There's something I can still do"

"But you have no team which means you can't do anything, you're not officially Rescue Force Obuchi"

"Except that everyone but me was required to turn these in before leaving for the week, but I was given a special exception"

With that Obuchi reveals a Rescue Commander unit

"Obuchi..."

"Don't worry I know that I'm not part of Rescue Force officially yet, but I can still do something about the Terra Resetter"

"Like what?"

"There's a reason I arrived early"

Obuchi goes back to the truck and reveals a Rescue Crusher and puts it in Mantis mode and uses the Rescue Card associated with it and actually does some good by revealing it was shielded

"Okay, I can't do anything more because of the shield but at least we can tell Rescue Force or Rescue Fire when they arrive about the shielding"

"And maybe we can use the tool you have for our mission as well"

"No, not yet"

"Understood Obuchi, watch our backs until pros arrive?"

"Of course Captain"

Obuchi fought the foot soldiers until Rescue Force arrived and then focused on rescuing the victims when suddenly an area he was in collapsed and almost no one had the means to contact him, except one group, if they were lucky, but first his team was told not to try by another team

"Don't try and contact him, he's dead, he was in the area that collapsed"

"We might have a way"

Ishiguro immediately brought out his Rescue Commander

"Obuchi-sempai can you hear me? Obuchi-sempai can you hear me? Obuchi-sempai!"

"Ishi...guro"

"I'm here sempai"

"Listen to me, you have to...use something extremely strong to handle the area I am in...there is a risk I will be killed...however there are others trapped with me still that need rescuing"

"I understand sempai, Rescue Soul!"

"Rescue...Soul"

The group quickly locates where Obuchi and the victims were at and used mantis impact to free everyone combined with a few other things that were needed but finally they reached the area of the victims and discovered most were okay, the most seriously injured after Obuchi was a child with an obvious leg injury that had happened in the initial incident when the child's leg got caught in something which Obuchi had to free him from

"Captain, how are we going to free Obuchi-san safely and quickly? I don't like the sound of his breathing"

"Neither do I, however there might be a reason besides the worst case scenario we're thinking of"

"Still doesn't get us closer to figuring out the problem"

"You're right, let's see where it ends and begins so that we know for ourselves to try and figure it out"

They eventually succeed in figuring out the safest way of getting Obuchi out from under the beams and do so and then quickly transport him back to base. They soon found out that what had happened was a combination of two broken ribs, the weight of the beams and an allergic reaction that fortunately wasn't severe enough to completely affect his breathing but he did need antihistamines to handle the reaction
