A/N: I have had a few requests for another superhero one, and so, here is another superhero oneshot for the uses. HChen dot RavenFeather, Shortie87, and ZaleTribal, here you go! Enjoy!
For those curious about which numbers have not been used in stories yet, they are: 5, 20, 21, 24, 25, 40, 42, 43, 45, 46, 47, 53, 56, 57, 59, 67, 68, 75, 80, 89, 94, 97, and 98. Eventually, they will all make it into one of the stories.
#26… Knock out a light when you need it to be dark in a dangerous situation – if you are being tracked by the enemy and you find yourself in a lighted room, you can break the lights by using your shinai.
#39… Hit a pair of twins simultaneously – Twins like to do things together and this will ensure they are hit together. It has been tested out on Hikaru-senpai and Kaoru-senpai.
#48… Break glass – yes it will. Be careful when around breakables. Mothers don't like their nick knacks broken.
#52… Knock out someone – a well-placed hit to the head will knock even someone like Taka out.
#61… Secret weapon for secret super hero identity – I can't explain this further. If I did, I might have to kill you.
#66… Used to stop a blond idiot from using puppy dog eyes – hit the offender and you won't succumb to those eyes. How does he always reel everyone in? I just don't get it.
#69… Kendo demo for Host Club customers – the customers love it.
#92… Stamp out cigarette butts – I don't want to get my shoe or foot dirty.
#96… Unmasking a super villain – rips the mask right off without you getting too close. Again, I cannot explain further without having to kill you for knowing too much.
The day started off like any other during Haruhi's second year in high school. Kyoya had arranged for Mori and Satoshi to give a kendo demonstration during Host Club hours, the girls were enjoying themselves, and all was right with the world. That is until a powerful motor could be heard and Rene rose from the floor, and when she did that, everyone knew their day may or may not turn out as expected.
Adjusting his glasses, Kyoya smirked, "Renge, to what do we owe the pleasure. I thought you had other plans today."
"Oh I did! But then I realized that you could help me!" She announced.
"Me?"
"All of you!"
The Shadow King pushed his spectacles up the bridge of his nose once again and asked, "What are you proposing?"
"The Ouran Host Club Rangers!" Her breathing sounded more like panting and hearts appeared in her eyes as she pictured Kyoya dressed up as the black ranger.
"I beg your pardon?"
"You heard me!"
"While that is true, I don't completely understand your meaning. Please explain."
Hearts turned to stars and the gleam was acute. To this day it is said people heard a ping when her eyes sharpened and became less MOE and more determined.
"You like kids…"
"Not especially."
Ignoring he interference, Renge continued, "I like kids, and together we will put on a show to make all little kids – and more importantly, little princesses – happy."
Kyoya did not pause to think about it, "I'm sorry, but our answer will have to be no."
"That's not fair, Kyoya!"
"Wha-What seems to be problem, mommy?" Tamaki hesitantly approached and asked. When Renge had that look in her eyes, sometimes it was best (safer) to keep your distance; however, he could not allow his best friend to commit murder and spill blood in Music Room 3. That would be sacrilegious. And Kyoya had his own glint in his eye that said he was ready to call in the Black Onion Squad and do away with Renge. Plus, since Renge was a girl in the Host Club, she was therefore under the protection of the Host Club, and Tamaki would not allow one of their princesses to be killed – even if it was Renge.
This was perfect! If she could convince Tamaki, then he would be able to convince Kyoya. Pulling out a handkerchief, Renge dabbed her eyes and said, "Tamaki-senpai, he won't help. Imagine a room full of little boys and girls crying because none of you would help them. They will be so sad and heartbroken. Would you really break the heart of a young princess?" She knew what angle to use in order to work over the princely type. He was a bit simple, and she knew he would take the bait.
Tears started to run down his face.
"Imagine a little Haruhi or Kyoya ready to see you and then no one shows up. Sick little kids who can even leave the hospital and are only looking for one small ray of happiness."
The trail of tears started to increase until they resembled two rivers, and Tamaki wailed, "Mommy! We can't do that to them! Our little Haruhi needs to be happy!"
Taking in consideration Tamaki always stays away from Renge unless absolutely necessary, how was Kyoya to know he would interrupt the conversation? Was he slipping? "Tamaki, no. We don't have…"
"But mommy. Little Haruhi's and Kyoya's will be heartbroken and could die without happiness if we don't go."
"Do you even know what she is suggesting?"
"It doesn't matter! We have to help if we can!"
"Stop your sniveling, you baka!" Kyoya ordered. As soon as Tamaki arrived, he knew he would not be able to get out of this. Pushing up his glasses, he stated, "We'll discuss this after club hours are over and allow the others to have a say. Tamaki, you have guests waiting. Do you really want to make them unhappy by ignoring them?"
Waving, Renge returned to her platform and called out, "Thank you, Kyoya!"
Two days later on a Saturday afternoon, the hosts arrived at the children's hospital with Renge. Kyoya had lost…actually, everyone was busy; however, as soon as Tamaki flashed those puppy dog eyes, everyone caved and changed their plans.
Just as he was about to enter the hospital, Satoshi noticed someone had thrown their cigarette butt on the ground without disposing of it properly. Not only that, it was still burning. He pulled out his shinai. Stamped it out, and then with the end of the stick, flicked it into the garbage, grumbling, "Stupid smokers. This is a children's hospital. If you want to do that, then do it somewhere else and don't throw your garbage on the ground."
The plan for the day, according to Renge, they would be participating in a small drama for some of the children dressed as the Ouran Host Club Rangers, except the twins. They would be dressed as the bad guys. Tamaki tried to argue because he was the white ranger and thus not the leader, Kyoya took on the role of the black ranger and lead, but when Renge turned into Medusa, he was too afraid to argue.
Once in costume, they were ready. Satoshi and Mori carried shinai, because every hero needed a weapon and they knew how to strike fear in man with nothing but a bamboo sword. The others carried laser guns, and everyone was wondering how they were talked into this in the first place. Oh yeah! Renge and Tamaki started putting ideas in each other heads. Dangerous combination.
The stage was set and ready. The first to enter were Hikaru and Kaoru, the bad guys, and they were booed from the beginning. After stealing a jewel, the Host Club Rangers showed up to foil their plot. Satoshi, the green ranger, threw his shinai at the light as soon as the gun fight started to make it harder to see. His brother, the blue ranger, then snuck around (amidst cheers from the audience) to the back of the twins and swung, hitting both of them in the back of the head and sending them flying towards the ground, face first. Unfortunately, he swung a little too hard and both of them were out cold.
"Now to unmask the villians," Tamaki announced, only to feel a dark aura coming from backstage for taking Kyoya's line.
"Blue Ranger, Green Ranger, unmask the scourge," Kyoya ordered, inwardly cringing at the lines he was forced to speak.
Using their shinai, Mori and Satoshi pushed the masks off of the twins' faces, and the younger of the two said, "It looks like the redheaded bandits." He wanted to know who wrote the script.
"Let's put both of them away and then have cake. They were bad! No one should steal or try to hurt someone else!" Hunny, the pink ranger, announced. The crowd went wild and started screaming to lock them up.
A clank was heard after the door slammed shut. From the other side, Renge laughed, "You fools. I've trapped all the rangers at the same time. A bomb is set to go off in three minutes." The children started booing and crying.
Grabbing Satoshi's shinai, Chika broke out the fake office window and proclaimed, "We can escape through here. Hurry!" He was going to kill Renge and Tamaki for making him speak such horrible lines.
The rangers flew through the window, taking the bandits with them and all made it to safety before the bomb exploded. The applause from the crowd was deafening, and the hosts thought, maybe it wasn't so bad to give up their Saturday to entertain the children with bad acting, but they wouldn't swear to it. Kyoya would have preferred to have rehearsed more and put on something worthy of the Ouran High School Host Club. As it was, this thrown together performance was mediocre at best.
"Next week we can come back and…" Renge began.
"NO!" The other hosts answered, except Tamaki.
"But guys, the children loved it," Tamaki pouted.
Before his puppy dog eyes could go into full affect, Kyoya grabbed Mori's shinai and knocked his best friend out. Now they didn't have to worry about Tamaki's super power. "Shall we go home? Mori-senpai, if you would be so kind as to grab our president? Thank you." The others followed him to the limo and left Renge standing there her mouth agape. Their job was done.
