Episode 2:
First Response Part 2
A few days later
Izuku wasn't what most would call an early riser and with good reason. Sure he attended school without ever being late, but it was after a wild dash to get there in time. Honestly, he secretly dreaded and even hated being forced into Aldera's corridors just for an average (at best) education, given by soulless teachers who seemingly hated the place just as much as he did.
So when the day came to start this new chapter in his life, he was ecstatic! 6 AM he was up and going, a duffel bag full of clothes, an All Might alarm clock, and beside his already written Journals, he had packed some brand new notebooks to fill with information. He maaayybe had slept something like 4 hours because he just couldn't contain his excitement over this change in his terribly dull life, so he stayed up until his body and mind clocked out for the day.
Breakfast was a somewhat emotional endeavor, because his mother was crying enough to threaten the structural integrity of their apartment, and he himself also joined her for a bit in ruining the carpets and floor. They had fruit sandos to celebrate this new beginning for Izuku, cried a bit more, and when they heard a car's horn from down on the street, both of them knew it was time.
"You've got all your stuff?" Inko asked worriedly behind her son, who was fighting with his red shoes' laces, which had decided now it was a good moment to get all tangled up. "Your toothbrush? Clothes for the month?"
Honestly he didn't hold it against her, but Izuku really was getting antsy with all this situation, "Y-yeah, I got everything mom!" He replied, exasperation clear in his voice. "I just- gotta deal with- YES!" Finally, he managed to untangle his shoelaces, and tie them properly before popping up and reaching for the doorknob. "Okay mom, I'm gonna go, I'll call you when I'm-"
"Izuku."
"UGH, what?" His exasperation once again got the better of him, as he turned to face his mom, frowning. "I don't wanna be late."
His mother, though, didn't even hold it against him and just smiled, proudly looking at her baby boy, ready to fly off the nest even if it was for just a few months. "I'm super proud of you, honey." She had to fight the tears back once again, before they really managed to destroy their apartment.
The greenete's expression softened, and left his bag on the floor, before giving her a hug, tight yet comforting which his mother was all too happy to return. "Thanks mom, I'll be back soon." Against his own wishes, he had to tear himself from his mother's embrace, before grabbing his bag and embarking on this new journey.
Sometime later . . .
In stark contrast to breakfast, the trip was excruciatingly slow, and that burned through Izuku's already wrecked nerves. He'd been picked up by a black car, driven by some weird guy who couldn't help but yell every single word, like he was announcing a Soccer match, which didn't help AT ALL.
Right now, they were heading towards another part of Japan, and they passed by the coastline of Takoba Municipal Beach Park and to be honest, it was depressing to watch the coastline, absolutely choke-full of trash that people threw there over the years. He remembered coming along here with his mom, Auntie 'Suki and Kacchan, when it was actually a bearable place to be in.
They drove for a while longer and because of it, Izuku had been forced to dive into the internet, checking some news regarding All Might's latest sightings around the city. It was then, when the driver suddenly yelled "ZOONS! WE'RE HERE, BRAT. BE READY!" that Izuku noticed the car had arrived. 'Seriously, what IS Zoons?' He thought, but his mind stopped dead on its tracks at the sight. They drove by a massive office building with the SRF logo on top of it, which immediately had Izuku's undivided attention as he stared at it in shock.
Finally, when the car stopped at the underground parking lot reserved for employees and admitted personnel, did Izuku get the chance to get off the car and was still awestruck by the simple fact he was in this place, even as the driver helped him unpack his luggage from the car, and told him where to find the nearest elevator. Still in shock, the boy followed the directions, soon finding himself across the parking lot, and in front of the shimmering silver doors of the elevator.
An elated, but immensely stupid grin took over the greenette's face as he lifted one of his hands to call the Elevator. But then those doors parted ways and-"Oh! Hello, you must be Izuku Midoriya!"He suddenly found himself face to face with a young blonde girl with glasses, there to greet him. "Hi my name is Melissa Shield" The name didn't even register in his brain, only his own jittery anxiousness and panic did. "I'll be your guide, Midoriya. Hope the ride here was fine." Izuku simply stood there, stunned that a girl was talking to him. So, the only thing he could do without looking like a nervous wreck was to give her an incredibly stiff nod.
But she didn't even seem to care about that, and instead gave him another smile. "Well if you can. Follow me! I'll take you to your room and give you a crash course about the whole place." She turned around
"Y-y-yes thank you!" Izuku replied, his voice strained and almost muted as he followed the girl like some sort of super rusty robot.
Melissa and Izuku spent a few seconds on the elevator ride and then walking once they got off it; they finally came to their first to walk through the basic areas of the base until they arrived at what looked like a dorm room.
"Well I hope you get along with your roommate well, he can be a bit eccentric, oh and we got a meeting in 30 minutes by the conference room." Melissa would then proceed to leave Izuku alone.
And he immediately got out of his stupor, which ended up replaced with his brain becoming mush. 'I JUST TALKED TO A GIRL!' Izuku internally screamed to himself in pure elation, eyes gleaming and a dumb smile plastered on his face.
Even if he hadn't actually said anything.
After giggling to himself like a dumb idiot, and later on slapping himself to compose Izuku turned around and thought outloud as he eyed the door cautiously. "Roommate huh. . ." He shuddered at the small possibility that it was someone like Kacchan all over again, but quickly shook that pessimistic thought out of his head. "I wonder what my roommate's gonna be like." But before his hand had reached halfway to the doorknob, it had already swung open..
"MY EYES"
Izuku would probably develop some form of premature blindness thanks to . . . Actually ,what is with this room? Half of the place was covered in mirrors and sparkling blue decorations, as if someone had just decided to toss half a ton of glitter everywhere. "Ooh lala, look what we have here~" Izuku wanted to shrink into the earth thanks to his pathetic social stamina, but the need to rub his eyes was stronger. "Are you my dazzling roommate?" A voice, of a french person no doubt given the accent, asked.
Once Izuku could, he slowly opened his eyes, and was besieged with the uncomfortably close face of a young man around his age, but with blond stylish hair, long yet somehow sparkly eyelashes and indigo eyes, shining with excitement. "Bonjour mon ami" Finally he put some distance between them both as he struck a pose against the doorframe "my name is Yuga Aoyama." Somehow, with his movements, he conjured up more glitter. Even as he blinked. "What about you, Mon vert ami? "
Ok, he felt uncomfortable around someone so over the top, but he'd take this over Kacchan or Aldera anytime. "H-hi I'm Izuku Midoryia, nice to meet you." he replied nervously, giving the blond boy a shaky bow..
"Well then, Midoriya!" Aoyama sure was extroverted and didn't know about personal space, because he just grabbed Izuku by the arm, and then dragged him inside. "Let me give you a tour of our wonderful adobe in any case!" It could be wor-And once again, the greennete's eyesight was burnt off by the sheer amount of sparkles in this place. "The right side of the room is mine, given that my right is my best angle.~". Izuku simply nodded as he wrenched himself free, already blinded beyond repair, and unable to see Aoyama's atrociously decorated part of the room any longer.
Then, the blonde boy pointed somewhat disinterestedly at the other side. "The left side is yours to do whatever, mon ami." Izuku simply nodded, looking to the left and being relieved to find that his eyes still worked properly enough to see a bed with green covers, and nothing much besides it, which made him start unpacking a bit of his stuff, at least his clothes and own bed coverings. While he was doing so he was getting a feel for his roommate asking him simple questions.
From what he was able to find out, Aoyama came from France and was quirkless just like him, had been training at SRF for a few months now, which meant he was slightly above him in any case. "Do tell, Midoriya, do you like ch-" , Before Aoyama could finish his question, a message blared out of the intercom, 's voice no doubt. "All Class R cadets, please report to the conference room!"
"Hoh-hoh! I guess that's us!" Aoyama didn't waste a single second as he got up and jogged to the door. "Do follow, mon ami! You'll get lost otherwise!"
That made his anxiety act up, and made him jumble around with his bedsheet, arms getting entangled with it. "Aaah, R-Right, right!" Izuku unceremoniously tossed the All Might-themed sheets he'd unpacked over his own bed before running off, following Aoyama's trail as best he could. Although, the sparkles made it easier for him to follow his TRULY eccentric roommate.
After some time of playing catch up with the blond, Izuku finally arrived (dead last but arrived thank you), to what seemed to be a small conference room with a black table, and several chairs placed around it in a circular fashion. And there they were, already sitting opposite to them, and Melissa as well.
The man simply laughed heartily and waved at him. "Good afternoon, cadets. I see you got acquainted with each other, yes?"
Plural? what was he- "Oui, Mr. Shield, sir." Izuku almost jumped out of his skin at that, which everyone but him and his heart rate, found funny. Aoyama was, somehow, both super hard to ignore yet incredibly sneaky when he wanted to. He didn't even notice him breathing!
After calming his own nerves down, and getting a mischievous, sparkly wink from the blonde, the two boys would only nod and take a seat, just as David proceeded to turn on a projector, and displayed a rather massive PowerPoint. "Now then, cadets!" He began with gusto. "On to the first stage of the rescue program." David would proceed to discuss how training would be done for the next few months, and it was something alright.
7 months later
To say the training was something was underestimating it, Izuku had quickly learnt the hard way. It consisted not only of harsh physical PT and obstacle courses, including tactics and procedure for rescue operations, but also a lot of theoretical study on several subjects, like materials and first aid. One thing the duo found strange was emergency vehicle simulations training, given they were both under the required age to drive. When it turned toward the 4th month, there was word of more cadets supposed to join the program Izuku and Yuga were on but they were in a different division. And so they didn't pay much mind, favoring their training over gossiping and what-a-not.
They were also able to connect with Melissa from time to time, but Izuku would lie if he ever claimed not having spent at least three of those months trying to calm his nerves around her. Before the start of the 7th month, the duo were given permission to return home before the final month of training. A little treat and a way to relax for the last "Months of Hell" as Izuku began to think of them.
When Izuku arrived home, he was greeted by the sudden and surprisingly strong embrace of his mother. He didn't even get the chance to kick his sneakers off.
But his mother's happy sobbing made his heart squeeze."Izuku! You're home, honey!" She was clearly trying to stop the dams from breaking, a wobbly yer relieved smile on her face
And there, Izuku realized just how much he had actually missed her. "Yyeah mom I'm home", He reciprocated to his mother's hug, and somewhat aware through her emotions, she took note how he'd grown.
Izuku looked drastically different from when he first started, his body once timid and weak, was now stronger, toned and he had even put up some .And Izuku also noticed a change in his mother.
Inko had lost some of the weight she had gained over the years of stress and depression that they'd both endured. When they both settled down and luckily didn't flood the entire apartment, she explained that had been giving her updates on Izuku's progress, which had in turn inspired her to try and get back in shape.
As they settled down on the couch, they began to talk to each other about how these months had gone by and what they missed in each other's lives. When izuku would talk about Yuga and Melissa, Inko had not only cried a river, but also left two massive puddles of salty water in the living room, if only because of the fact her baby had made more friends. Actual friends, after so many years.
When it was around lunch time, Inko would then ask her son as she was stirring the pot over the kitchen, preparing something her son was sure to love. "Oh the right, there's gonna be a solar eclipse in an hour or so honey, if you wanna watch it."
"Oh that's right!" Izuku looked up from his phone, checking over some news about All Might's presence in Musutafu. "That the one that happens every 2 centuries, or so!" Izuku stated, eyes gleaming with excitement as he moved from the couch and over to the kitchen table.
Area Unknown - An hour later.
All over the world, people were preparing for a rare version of a solar eclipse, an unique eclipse where the ring around the Eclipse would turn red instead of the usual orange. After waiting for a while with bated breath, the Eclipse finally occurred. As the sun was slowly consumed by the moon, the people of earth looked on in excitement but unknown to them, above in the darkened sky, a gateway suddenly formed out of thin air, spewing out noxious fumes and 2 spectral figures on the world. The creatures would then land into a clearing within a forest, still shrouded by the dark.
A crimson, monstrous creature with dragon-like wings and a star on his chest spoke up first, elation within its voice. "Finally, it worked! we are free at last!" The figure pumped its arms up in the air, taking in a large breath of fresh, clean air.
"See I told you, my prince! It will work out!" a black demonic creature with a long black nose speaks and a tuxedo speaks up.
"For years, we could only observe." The so-called Prince then brought its arms down, clenching it's claws tightly. "Unfortunately it took most of my power to free us." Then he opened and closed them a few times to flex them to get the blood flowing, probably. "Why don't we make a grand entrance Jinxer?"
"Ooh Ooh Ooh i like the way you think of my prince." The big-nosed, mustached creature giggled delightfully, as they both turned their sights up to the Eclipsed Sun.
Special Response Headquarters
Melissa was currently running, almost on a warpath towards the meeting room, where her father was in a business meeting. She knew better to disrupt such meetings, but this time it was different.
As she got closer, she could hear her father talking, no doubt about economics and numbers to the board. "Hence why it's important to increase production of…"
She pretty much slammed the door open like her Uncle would, which got everyone's attention in the room. "Father! Something's coming up!" She sounded out of breath, which hinted David that this, indeed, was something he shouldn't postpone given that she was also carrying a folder under her arm.
He nodded, turning the projector off and signaling everyone to the door. "We will finish this later, do take this as a recess." Although confused by it, the other businessmen took the chance to leave the room, and probably smoke outside. As they left, David nodded to her daughter.
At the prompt, she ran to his side, a concerned look plastered on her face still. "Father, our satellite has picked up on abnormal readings within the Earth's atmosphere. We were able to get some images of the disturbances." She would then give David the folder, opening it for him.
And as he retrieved the first image David's eyebrows rose up, and his eyes widened in both surprise and fear. 'I thought we would have more time.'
Without losing another moment, he ordered rather harshly to the girl. "Get the Rescue Cadets here, their vacation has been cut short."
Aoyama House
Aoyama was in the middle of playing Dance-Dance Revolution in the living room (And no, he was doing great, thank you!) when he received a phone call. He cut the game short at that, and went over to get the call, surprised that it was from the S.R.H.
"Bonjour, Mademoiselle Melissa, what can I do for yo-… Ok then I'll be right there." He then grabbed a jacket from his rather imposing closet, grabbed a pair of shoes, and ran outside as he jumped into his limo, telling the driver to drive him to the S.R.F Headquarters.
Midorya Apartment
The sound of the doorbell and a couple of knocks on their door could be heard in Izuku's apartment, which broke him out of his rambling as he wrote over All Might's latest news in his research notebook. That left Inko to tend to the door, but when she opened it proceeded to open the door, 2 men dressed in black suits and sunglasses greeted her.
"Miss Midoriya, Izuku Midoriya has been requested back at S.R.F by the Chairman." Inko certainly was taken back by that. Just one day had her son been home after the last 7 months, and they wanted him back in there? "B-But-" "Miss, this is an emergency, so please understand."
Before she could protest, Izuku, who overheard the talk, gave her a quick but strong hug, to reassure her. She clearly didn't like that, but hugged him back, and off he was, his mind running already. 'I wonder what this is all about.'
Special Response Headquarters
Almost at the same time, Izuku and Aoyama's cars arrived at headquarters, and they were greeted by Melissa once again.
"Glad you two could make it" She, while clearly happy to see them again, was also incredibly concerned for something
"What's this about Mademoiselle?" Aoyama asked first, clearly as confused yet prepared as Izuku felt.
And Izuku himself wasn't gonna keep quiet either. "Y-yeah, is there an issue?"
She motioned with her hand for them to follow, and then broke into a light jog. "Your questions will be answered soon, guys. But for now follow me, Okay?" As they entered the building, they went into the closest elevator available. Melissa, to both boy's further bewilderment, would then press a code on the elevator taking the trio down and suddenly making a left turn somehow. As they were making a left turn, they could see through the elevator side.
Aoyama looked on, startled. "Are we-"He began.
And Izuku, both surprised and slightly scared, "U-UNDERWATER?!" finished for his friend.
The two boys, shocked, would indeed be gazing into the deep blue sea, a fish shoal swimming by, chased by some dolphins, and various other animals from fish to jellyfish.
But what they really were entranced by was a gigantic structure at the sea floor. As the elevator stopped once again with a loud metallic thud, Melissa would lead the two to a conference room, forcing them to keep the pace with her jogging. Something that the two noticed is that the amount of people here was much, MUCH less than it was above ground at all times, it tipped them off to this place being something super secretive.
After the three got to the conference room, in which Melissa had to type down another code on a digital pad, it further solidified their suspicions of this being a massive secret. They all sat down on any chairs they could find, and waited the room, Aoyama and Izuku mumbling to themselves about what was happening, until David Shield entered the room, looking like he had ran a marathon, holding a briefcase in his right hand.
He took some quick, short breaths before talking. "Welcome cadets, to the S.R.F Aqua Station"
Huh, so Secret Base then . . . That's something out of an actual comic book. But nevermind that, Izuku's excitement would have to wait."If you don't mind me asking- Uh, s-sir, why are we here?" Izuku asked Somewhat timidly, STILL in awe at the man himself after several months.
For his part, David sighed, and laid the briefcase over the table and. "5000 years another world was inhabited by demons, which- I-i can't think of a better description to them." Izuku and Aoyama's eyebrows couldn't physically go any higher, but damn, was that a way to start a story and get them hooked. "Their only purpose was to destroy and conquer all in their path. Luckily the demons were captured and entombed, that was until 200 years ago, when the demons were released again. Only that time, they were defeated by a group of legendary warriors, and sealed away again under the light of the solar eclipse." 'Wait, today's eclipse- Was that-' "But what they didn't know was in a last ditch effort their ruler, Queen Bansheera, unleashed a wave of energy which formed a link between where they were trapped and our world." he would pause before gauging the reactions to this revelation, and as he expected, both Izuku and Aoyama were nothing short of flabbergasted by this revelation, mouths agape and eyes solely focused on him.
"Our satellites have picked energy readings similar to that of demons entering earth from space. The reason you are here is because S.R.F has designed technology that accesses the same energy source those legendary warriors did, called the Grid. Your training here at S.R.F was so you can become part of the spiritual successors to those warriors: The Power Rangers."
"S-sir, if I may." Aoyama began, still a bit shaken, and honestly smiling a bit, he probably didn't even believe it. "Even if we did believe you, W-why us? Why not ask the pro-heroes like All Might?" That. . .was a good point, honestly. "Won't they have more experience fighting villains." Yuga asked, clearly frightened about the prospect of having to fight
Izuku and Melissa would wince for a second, unaware of each other, before David could answer, "I will tell you a few reasons why, Aoyama. The first being most heroes don't have the quirk or fire power to truly damage the demons. The low level once possessed close combat and ranged capabilities. It was discovered that the demons have a natural resistance towards certain quirk-based attacks and abilities. Stronger Demons tend to show higher resistance to physical attacks. The third reason is 79% of the world's population is incompatible with the grid."
"79%? Wait, you don't mean,'' Izuku putting 2 and 2 together.
"Thats correct for some reason the morphing grid is highly incompatible with people with quirk's." This statement alone, threw both Midoriya and Aoyama a curve ball they could've never hoped to catch, or react to.
Meanwhile in Musutafu
It was a normal day currently within the streets. People were going to their normal locations, cars moving along the street, all was normal and peaceful. That was until the sounds of an explosion erupted from within one of the buildings, and soon enough a fireball tore through the lower levels of an office building..
A cacophony of screams destroyed any semblance of calm, cars could be heard breaking abruptly in the distance, and a stampede of passing bystanders quickly flooded the entire street. A few, rather new pro heroes arrived first on the scene, none of them liking the look of this whole crapfest.
"What's going on ?!"
"Dunno, maybe it's a villain attack!"
"Look! over there," One of the hero's pointed towards something that's coming out of the burning building, it looked like a monster-live villain,covered in bright orange flames-like armor pieces on its body from top to bottom, eerie red eyes and a n equally eerie red gem on its chest, with two pieces of it's costume jutting outwards and to the sides of his chest..
"Ah, if it ain't the so-called pro heroes, let's see how strong all of you are!" The villain would then snap his fingers causing around 60 black suited guys to to appear from within the burning wreck that was the building. "Batlings, Our prince wants a grand entrance, let's give him one, shall we?" The heroes all shuddered at the sheer malice and ruthlessness of that voice, before he pointed at them. "BATLINGS, ATTACK!"
Back at the Aqua Station
Yuga, after hearing all of this, and understanding that was either completely insane, or was saying the truth, stood up from his chair, and hummed thoughtfully. "Hmmm, Ok so after hearing this new information, it may be best I go home."
David for his part looked rather surprised, but also understanding, but Izuku had another idea to be honest. He laid his right hand on Aoyama's shoulder, trying to stop him from actually just leaving."W-wait!" Ooh, that probably came out harsher and louder than he expected. "A-aoyama wait, can't you see, if we don't do this people are gonna get hurt."
The blonde was about to say something to rebuke the greenete, but the phone on the desk suddenly rang, which prompted David to pick up the call. Lo and behold, it was part of the dispatch operator team.
"Sire, there is something on the tv that you must see."
"Put it on" Immediately, a television hummed to life, startling the boys, but then all four in the room would look at it, their expressions changing from simply apprehensive, to downright horrified at the scene the news was reporting. "-Currently downtown Musatufu is under attack by unknown villains, so far four out of the seven pro heroes who arrived at the scene are injured along with multiple civilians." The news continues to show images and showcase the destruction at hand.
Izuku would look at the screen before turning toward Mr. Shield with a determined look "Whatever it takes to stop them, I'm in Sir." David couldn't help but smile. Toshinori hadn't lied in any way to him about this boy.
Aoyama, rather reasonably, looked hesitant at first but after seeing the destruction at hand, the fear of the people, and the heroes just being overwhelmed he smirked with a sparkle of determination in both his eyes, and his wink. "What do we gotta do, Sire?"
His smile may haven't changed much, but David was happy to see Aoyama not just giving up everything. So, it was time to speed up Phase 2. "First off, take these." He then took the briefcase and opened it, showing the boys the contents within. 6 items laid there, 3 similar devices with shields that seemingly attached to the wrist. and 2 slot chambers on it, and 3 small looking rectangles of red, blue and yellow.
Izuku and Aoyama, both blinked, their determination and fire being waved into nothingness by the cold hands of confusion.
David sighed, feeling embarrassed that he expected the kids to understand this without further context, before taking the yellow badge-like device, and pointing at it. "These are your Response Morphers, Cadets, and these." With his other hand he grabbed the yellow rectangle, waving it in front of the slot. "And these are the Rescue Linkers. To morph, insert the linkers into your Morphers and shout 'Morph to Rescue'." He waved down at the boy's respective Morphers and Linkers with the yellow one. "Got it?"
Izuku and Aoyama, kept staring blankly at the devices, before picking up the red and blue Morphers and linkers respectively, making a rather dumb noise that vaguely conveyed understanding of the situation.
"Uhm, Father." Melissa spoke up, rather confused as she eyed the briefcase, and then the yellow Morpher itself "There's gotta be an error here, I see 3 Morphers, and-"
But her old man simply spoke up instantly, shutting her off. "There is no error here, Melissa. You are the 3rd member of this team, ever since you were young I've been training to be a ranger." He gave her daughter a smile, as she simply looked surprised yet so thankful for this chance. "Now it's your time." David then handed her the yellow Morpher and Linker, which she gladly took
"Now go, Rangers, go!" the trio would salute him and rush out of the room rather efficiently. Melissa at the head led them to the car Izuku was sure belonged to his driver this mor- "ZOONS, SO YOU KIDS ARE READY FOR THE BIG DAY?!", Yep, it was the same white-mustached wacko all right. As they finished filing into the car, Melissa simply told him to floor it, and the man did without a second thought, leaving Izuku and Aoyama to grab on for dear life, or risk getting flung off the car before reaching the crisis zone.
Back in Musutafu
The 3 remaining pro heroes were being slammed and thrashed around. One of them being Kumai Woods is trying to bind some of the creatures. "Yes! I got some tangled in my-Huh?! he could celebrate any more, other batlings ran to their fallen comrades to cut them free with their swords. Some would then aim their swords and fire actual, identical energy blasts, hitting another of the pro-heroes in the chest and making him fall to the ground in a pain-ridden heap.
"Tsk, dammit! There must be something we can do, we're getting pummeled and surrounded!" Kumai Woods says as he is then being surrounded by Batlings left and right.
Backdraft, who was concentrating on hosing down a nearby fire, saw his ally in trouble and in a rather desperate attempt, would launch moderately pressurized blasts of water to try and push those thugs off of Kamui's way. But then, the water that hit them had some sort of weird interaction with the villains, and they disappeared! "Huh?! Hey, wait, it looks like they are weak to water." As he was about to hose more of the Batlings down, a trio of fireballs flew directly at him, hitting him head-on, a fiery explosion engulfing him. The Water Hero miraculously survived the explosion, but ended up flung into a nearby wall, severely injured, but not severely burned thanks to his costume.
The Flaming Tyrant laughed as he walked forward to the downed hero from across the street. "HAH! this is so much fun!" Another fireball spawned on his hand, as he readied himself to blast the Fireman Hero into nothingness. "When I'm done, maybe The Prince will name me his second in comma-!" But he never got to attack, as he was suddenly rammed by a jet-black car, and ended up getting launched a good dozen meters away.
The heroes present just watched, completely flabbergasted as the car that had just run over a Villain stopped, and a rather angry man peeked his head out of the car, his ashen-white mustache bristling as he yelled out. "HEY WATCH IT, PUNK! JAPAN'S NO PLACE FOR JAYWALKERS!" near the vicinity And then, even more so to the shock of all heroes, the man hollered something about 'GETTING OUT THERE' and 3 individual's stepped out. The flaming monster, finally getting back up, the heroes, and even the battlings looked on, confused by the new arrivals.
Kamui was the first one to talk out, kneeling on the floor as his whole body screamed in pain. "You three! Get out of her-" Then, he noticed a rather familiar visage: Forest green, unruly hair, one he had seen some months ago. 'Wait, one of them looks familiar,' The hero thought as he watched the grenette walk alongside the other two blonde kids. And even though they were clearly on edge, not one of them looked scared.
"Ooh new toys, have you come to bow down Ghouligan?!" The Villain, Ghouligan bellowed arrogantly, shoving his way through some abandoned cars, as the Batlings rendezvous back with him, waving their swords in a display of intimidation.
Instead, he was met with a defiant and determined yell from the green-haired boy. "Not a chance, Villain "We're gonna stop you and your goons!" He then put his arm up to his chest and his over arm holding the red trigger, glancing back to the other two. "You're ready guys?!"
"Oui/Ready!" His two teammates replied with a determined scowl, holding up their arms with their respective triggers, mirroring Midoriya's own pose.
"Morph to Rescue!" The trio shouted in unison as they inserted the linkers into the Morphers, and the show finally began.
The trio were then surrounded by blinding white light as the shields on their Morpher released spectral versions of them on each side of the rangers. Water hoses came seeping out of the shields, wrapping around the trio before the shields slammed into the shoulders forcing the hoses to somehow shatter, revealing the rangers in their suits.
As they appeared in their ranger suits and respective colors, they looked similar to firemen in terms of the yellowish-brown on their white gloves and belt, near the chest area appeared to be a small backpack harness design (think go-busters) and on the helmet a cross that goes from top to bottom but interrupted by the visor.
"Special Rescue 1, Red Ranger!" Izuku states.
"Special Rescue 2, Blue Ranger!" Aoyama states.
"Special Rescue 3, Yellow Ranger!" Melissa states.
"Go beyond the emergency, Power Rangers: S.R.F!" the 3 rangers would pose. Leaving those who watch what took place stunned. Even Izuku and Aoyama were flabbergasted by their own, uh, act. 'That's gotta be part of the suit.' 'Did the floor just explode behind me?'
"Power Rangers, huh?" Ghouligan asked lowly, almost mockingly, before kicking a defunct car out of his way. "Whatever! It doesn't matter what you weaklings are! I'll destroy you all the same, Batlings attack!" At their master's command, the goons all rushed the rangers, swords primed and swinging wildly in the air as they charged. The heroes, even when they were all battered and tired of the battle, tried to spring into action and save those kids, but could only watch in horror at what was about to happen.
Though, contrary to everyone's fears, even their own, the Rangers shifted into combat stances and charged back. The Red Ranger soon found himself dealing with a rather sizable group of enemies, near the entrance of the burning building. During the confrontation he would push forward with a series of punches and kicks knocking down the Batlings, even going as far as managing to score a roundhouse kick directly into a battling's helmet, and sending him crashing into its fellow goons. "W-wow this feels incredible". As he looked down onto his hands, awed at its own capabilities, a battling attempted to sneak behind and catch the ranger off guard. But as the goon swung its sword at the ranger, he would open a car door to intercept it, almost on instinct. Then, with the grace of an acrobat, the Ranger jumped over the car and socked the goon in the face.
With the blue ranger, a group of batlings were trying to rush him with nothing but numbers, but were stopped by a barrage of blue energy bolts that hit all of them head-on. The Blue Ranger, culprit of that firing line, was holding onto his side arm, giving it a spin as he looked at it. 'Huh, and we didn't even have gun handling le-OH!' and just as he was about to be rushed again, he took aim and fired another spray at the approaching batlings "Oh-oh-oh, the spark of this rescue enforcer is just my style" In a display of acrobatic skill, much like the Red Ranger, he ran over to a car, and used it as a platform to jump, before shooting yet another volley of energy bolts mid-air, finishing the Batlings in a fiery explosion.
Meanwhile, the Yellow Ranger had engaged in direct combat with Ghouligan, the demonic villain throwing intense fire balls towards her, but with equal dexterity to her teammates, she would dodge and weave out of the way with ease, "Hold still!" thing that irritated the demon. In response, she pulled out her own side arm, which converted into a saber of all things, and went in for a rush attack. "Maybe you need better aim, how about I give you a target" she would then proceed to slash her weapon across the Demon's chest twice, sparks flying off Ghouligans body as backed away, pained and angered beyond belief..
As he was forced to kneel to catch his breath, the Demon roared in anger and smashed his fist onto the ground, "Damn this! Not again, I won't lose like-!" After slamming his fist on the ground, Ghoulighan pushed himself back up ready to put these runts in their place, But before he could do anything in response, he would notice each ranger holding their blaster and aiming directly at him. "Gah, no! Definitely not this again!"
The trio then pulled their Rescue Linkers and inserted them in a slot at the side of their respective blaster, as the words "Final Emergency!" echoed out of the weapon, the rangers aiming their guns, energy crackling as it began to gather in their respectful color's at the muzzle of their weapons, mirroring their suit's colors.
"Ready!" Melissa stated, "Aim!" Aoyama commanded, "Fire!" and Izuku ordered as they pulled the trigger at the same time. Coming out from their blasters, 3 massive beams of energy were fired upon the demon, who after getting struck, had sparks that would begin to shoot out of him. "Curse you, Power Rangers!" He shouted agonizingly as he finally fell backwards one last time, exploding in a massive fireball and leaving only debris behind. The Rangers would turn around as the explosions happened.
The pro heroes present at the scene were left stunned. Even some of the reporters and their teams who were able to catch some pretty mediocre footage of the fight were left speechless. One of the pro's astonishment soon dissipated into indignation, as he glared at the three Rangers. 'I-i can't let these vigilantes get all the credit.' He thought, his indignation turning into bitterness and anger as he shakily got up and pointed a finger at the trio, shouting as he did. "Hey! You three there, what's the big idea?!" They turned around, each one jolting in surprise "Getting involved in hero work like these? You're all under arrest!" But before he actually get up and even went out and did anything by his word, a fire truck with the S.R.F logo came to a stop directly in front of him, blocking his path as firemen began to pour out and either to help poor Backdraft deal with the fires, or tend to civilians in the surroundings. By the time the Pro went around the truck, the rangers were gone.
The Aqua Station
The rangers arrived to thunderous applause throughout the entire base, clear that the whole staff was beyond elated with their performance. Aoyama basked in the new found glory, Melissa had a more composed posture yet was nonetheless happy and proud of herself, and Izuku was redder than a tomato, embarrassed by the sudden attention and praise, ears burning and his heart going a thousand miles a second with the new found feeling of pride. After a minute of applause and praise, David walked up to the trio and the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
But the silence wasn't one to dread, given the man's smile. "You all did good work out there, Rangers!" He announced with gusto on his voice and a grin plastered on his face, to which the trio couldn't help but smile. But the man's face soon turned serious and stoic once again. "But, sadly, the job's not over yet."
Aoyama was the first to speak up, taken back by this. Sure it wasn't THAT hard, but still. "W-what do you mean sire?! I thought we beat all the demons!" If his voice sounded an octave higher than usual, blame the adrenaline.
"Oh no, that was just one of the monsters and a part of their forces." All those present would look at each other, sharing a particularly concerned look, horrified in Aoyama's case as David continued, the gravity of his voice never disappearing.
"Now that the demons know that you exist, they would stop at nothing to destroy you. And your exposure as Rangers not only makes you a target to them but to other forces against our mission." Then, he clapped his hands, the attention returning back to him
"So get some rest, and be prepared S.R.F! We got work to do! Dismissed!" The staff of the base saluted him and walked off to their assigned posts, besides the Rangers themselves who glanced at each other worriedly.
To Be Continued…
AN:
Hope you enjoyed this chapter and my apologies with the wait.
Art of the Ranger Suits will be displayed on the AO3 Version at the end of the chapter.
A common question I've been asked is why original suits and not previous team's. The reason for original suits is so I could develop the characters as them without worry of being compared to Tommy or Carter.
Please like and comment for more.
Chapter 3 will be out soon.
