Well, I kept you all waiting long enough for some Power Rangers action, so here it is. I am still trying to get over my surprise that the actor who played Nick in Mystic Force was in Hacksaw Ridge and used the M1 Garand, the same rifle my uncle used in World War 2. That's now four Power Rangers actors/actresses that have used a firearm in other forms of media.
Now then, I have been thinking about this a lot lately and because of another Power Rangers/My Hero Academia story I've been reading, I think I might include some adventures in other dimensions. I have one idea for one world and for the record, it is not My Little Pony. Crossovers with that series such with franchises such as Power Rangers, Star Wars, Gundam, Transformers, Yugioh, and such are stupid in my mind. Plus, how many of you think it's stupid for a bunch of talking magical horses piloting forty-foot massive war machines with enough firepower to level a city block?
Another note, the rangers of this story will not just be limited to the Lightspeed Rangers, but ranger descendants from other teams of rangers, some from space. So, you can expect a few other megazords appearing in the future.
Now, onto the reviews.
Aztec 13: Thank you. I can promise you, like you asked that the Overdrive megazords will appear in the story, I'm still trying to figure out when I'll bring them in, maybe when a certain pair of brothers who sought a certain item return to the world of the living. Glad you liked the last chapter.
Artorias78: Your first names Grayson? Well, I'm glad I got you interested in this story. I can promise you that I will do my very best writing this story.
TheOKWriter: That's a good point. I think I might do that.
DCD Gojira: Yes, Diabolico has returned. I like that guy and not just because he's voiced by Neil Kaplan, the man who voiced Optimus Prime in Transformers: Robot's in Disguise which also aired on Fox Kids, but because I find it interesting that a demon would turn against their own kind to avenge their comrade. You will see some new rangers from those teams, including one from Lost Galaxy, as for a duo of two guys that are a running gag, you never know.
Ed: Oh, I have a plan for who will be the Titanium Ranger, but I can assure you it won't be Bakugo or that jerk Monama. Those two aren't worthy of being rangers. Well, maybe Bakugo as he matures in the series, but it won't be him.
GBlastertasker: Izuku or Diabolico as the Titanium Ranger? Hmm, interesting suggestions.
Shadowwolf1997: Glad you liked it, and I can promise you'll like what I have planned next for the story.
I am always tired: Glad you like it.

Chapter 4: UA High: Day One
Of all the times in his life that Izuku was nervous, one of those moments now included standing in front of the gigantic doorway to Hero Course Class 1-A, which was probably built for giants. The sight made him sweet nervously. "M-maybe I got the wrong room. I don't think this is the right place." Izuku stuttered, wearing the student uniform of UA High School.
"Well, being as there's no other place around the place. I reckon this must be the place I reckon." Came the voice of Connor from behind him, causing Izuku to jump in surprise as his American friend stood wearing the same uniform as he was and a blue baseball cap, only for Izuku to fall flat on the floor. "And here I was hoping that I would surprise you, not make you fall on the ground." Connor deadpanned.
"Connor!? W-what are you doing here?" Izuku asked.
"Didn't you know? I'm in this class." Connor answered.
"Wait, you're attending UA? I thought only those with quirks could attend this school?" Izuku asked, getting back to his feet.
"Nah." Connor shrugged. "Principle Nezu told me and my friends that it was just a rumor that was started years ago. Anyone can attend the school, regardless of if they have a quirk or not and that's a good thing for me and my friends, considering our powers."
"You mean you have a quirk?" Izuku asked again.
"Not a quirk, but I'll explain it to you later. For now, let's get inside before we're late." Connor answered and slid open the door. But what they found was not what they expected.
"Take your feet off that desk!" came the stern voice of a blue-haired glasses wearing boy, also wearing the same school uniform as Izuku and Connor, who took off his baseball cap once he entered the room.
Both of them looked around and saw their fellow classmates. One was a flamboyant blonde-haired boy with sparkling blue eyes while another was a rather tall and muscley guy with white hair wearing a blue face mask that covered one eye. One was a girl with pink skin with horns, another was a large guy with an angular rocky looking body, and one who had the head of a bird, followed by a girl with black hair done in a rather large ponytail with a single bang over her eye.
Continuing on was a girl who's only indication was her clothes, giving the impression that she was completely invisible, a girl with long green hair and large eyes, a tall blonde haired boy with a tail with yellow hair at it's tip, a boy with spikey red hair and sharp teeth, a girl with earphone jacks on her ears, a large boy with spikey brown hair, a boy with a black lightning bolt shaped streak in his hair, and a boy with a burn mark on the left side of his face, with heteromorphic eyes, and half white and red hair, and a boy with straight black hair that was spiked downwards. The last student was a girl with traits of Japanese and Canadian descent with brown hair tied in a ponytail and green eyes and of course, sitting with his feet on the desk was Bakugo himself. "It's already the first day and you're disrespecting this academy by scuffing school property, you cretin!" the glasses boy said with anger.
"You're kidding me, right? Did your old school put a stick up your ass? Or were you born with it?" Bakugo scoffed.
"And now we have this guy to deal with. Why am I not surprised." Connor deadpanned.
The glasses boy cleared his throat and held out his hand to Bakugo. "Let's start over. I'm Tenya Iida from the Somei Private Academy." The now named Tenya introduced.
"Somei, huh? So, you think you're better than me? I'm gonna have fun tearin you a new one." Bakugo said with a laugh.
"You would threaten me? Your own classmate? Are you sure you're in the right place?" Iida said with a gasp before he spotted Izuku and Connor, his eyes focused on Izuku. "Huh? It's him."
The other students murmured while Izuku gasped and started to sweat like crazy. "So, they seem to be staring at you like you're famous or something, anything you want to tell me?" Connor asked.
"I, um. I well, I took out the zero-pointer villain in the entrance exam with one punch and destroyed it." Izuku admitted, sheepishly.
"I'm sorry, you did what?" Connor asked. "Because I thought you said you took out a villain with one punch in the entrance exam." He repeated.
"I did." Izuku answered, then turned to Iida who walked over to them. "Uh, hi."
"Good morning! My is Tenya Iida from the Somei Private Academy. I believe you and I met before." Iida said with a bow.
"You two know each other?" Connor asked.
"Yeah, we met during the exam." Izuku told Connor, then turned back to Iida. "I'm Izuku Midoriya. It's super nice to meet you."
Tenya lowered his head respectfully to Izuku before speaking again. "Midoriya. You realized that there was something more to the practical exam, didn't you. You must be very perceptive, and I want to apologize for my judgment about you. I admit, as a student you're far superior to me."
"Did something happen between the two of you?" Connor asked.
"You could say that." Izuku answered. "Iida seemed to think I was planning on breaking another applicant's concentration when I was trying to thank them for stopping me from falling face first into the pavement."
"Oh, is that all?" Connor asked, looking at Iida and then held out his hand. "Well, as they say, let bygones be bygones. My name's Connor Grayson. I'm a friend of Izuku's, nice to meet you Iida."
"A pleasure to meet you." Iida said, shaking Connor's hand. "I don't believe I saw you at the exam. Were you accepted based on recommendation?" Iida asked.
"Well, it's not a recommendation, as you say. It's kind of…" Connor began before someone else spoke up.
"Hey! I recognized that messed up hair! Falling boy!" came the voice of a girl with auburn hair and auburn eyes, whose voice made Izuku gasp in surprise. "That was an amazing punch!"
"Uh, thanks. I guess I should be thanking you for talking to judges on my behalf." Izuku said, confusing the girl. From what Connor heard, the girl went in and talked to Present Mic about the results of the practical exam, begging that some of her points were given to Izuku after he saved her life during the exam. Though it was unnecessary, Izuku was awarded a total of sixty rescue points, despite not earning any combat points.
Bakugo however, just glared at Izuku, thinking back to the day he questioned how Izuku somehow got a quirk and managed to get into UA. Bakugo was under the firm belief that Izuku cheated, having vowed that he would be the only student from their junior high school to enter UA, but all he got for an answer was that someone told Izuku he could be a hero and that he couldn't stop him. One way or another, he was going to get to the bottom of this.
"Well, it looks like things are already shaping up to be an interesting year." Connor said, putting his backpack down by his desk. "Anyone else notice the sleeping bag behind the desk, or is it just me?"
"What sleeping bag?" the girl with earphone jacks asked.
"At least someone noticed me." A voice came from behind the desk as the tired face of a man in a sleeping bag rose up and unzipped the bag, revealing a tall man with long scraggly hair and black clothes along with a grey scarf. "Welcome to UA's hero course. It took the rest of you eight seconds before you all shut up. That's not gonna work. Time is precious. Rational students would understand that." The man said.
"Who is this guy? If he's here, then he must be some kind of a pro. But he looks so worn out." Izuku thought to himself as he, Iida and the girl called Ochako Uraaka took their seats.
"I'm Shota Aizawa. Your teacher." The man introduced, causing the students to gasp before he handed the students their PE clothes and asked them to follow him outside. Once they were outside, Aizawa explained the reason they were outside.
"What? A Quirk assessment test?" the students asked at once.
"But orientation! We're going to miss it!" Ochako pointed out.
"If you really want to make the big leagues, you can't waste time on pointless ceremonies." Aizawa answered, causing the students to gasp, save for Connor. "Here at UA, we're not tethered to traditions. That means that I get to run my class however I see fit. You've been taking standardized tests most of your lives. But you never got to use your quirks in physical exams before. The country's still trying to pretend we're all created equal by not letting those with the most power excel. It's not rational. One day, the Ministry of Education will learn."
"After hearing what you just said, teach. I'm inclined not to question your methods and just go along with your plans." Connor said aloud, catching Aizawa's eyes. "Oh boy, I think I might have doomed myself."
"You sure did, you quirkless loser!" Bakugo said snarky.
"Wait, you don't have a quirk?" the pink skinned girl asked.
"Right, I almost forgot. I'd like you all to meet Connor Grayson, the Red Lightspeed Power Ranger and leader of the new Lightspeed Rescue Power Rangers, all of whom are attending UA." Aizawa introduced, resulting in a long silence before the students all exclaimed at once.
"He's the red ranger!?" they all shouted.
"Yeah, I am." Connor admitted, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly and revealed his morpher, then bowed to his fellow students. "Like Mr. Aizawa said, my name's Connor Grayson and I am the Red Ranger, it's nice to meet you all and I hope we can all become friends."
"Now with that out of the way." Aizawa began, then turned to Bakugo. "Bakugo, you managed to earn the most points in the entrance exam. What's the farthest distance you've thrown a softball when you were in junior high?"
"Sixty-seven meters, I think." Bakugo answered, catching the soft ball that Aizawa just threw to him.
"Right. Try doing it with your Quirk. Anything goes, just stay in the circle." Aizawa instructed. As expected, for Izuku and Connor, Bakugo added a little extra power to his throw shouting 'die' as he threw the soft ball a total of seven-hundred and five meters. "All of you need to know your maximum capabilities. It's the most rational way of figuring out your potential as a pro hero." Aizawa finished.
"I wanna go! That looks like fun!" the pink skinned girl shouted excitedly.
"This is what I'm talking about, we get to use our quirks as much as we want!" The boy with the triangular shaped smile and oddly shaped elbows said with excitement.
"Uh, I don't think…" Connor started to say before Aizawa turned to face the students.
"So, this looks fun huh?" The teacher started, causing students to gasp. "You have three years here to become a hero. You think it's all going to be fun and games? Idiots. Today you'll compete in eight physical tests to gauge your potential. Whoever comes in last has none and will be expelled immediately. Like I said earlier, I decide how my class is run, if you don't like it, then you can go home."
"What!?" all the students shouted.
'Immediate expulsion? Eight tests? Crap. Not good. I can only use One For All at either zero or a hundred percent right now. I don't have any control yet. A huge test on the first day of school? What the crap am I gonna do?' Izuku thought to himself in a panic.
"Ok, I take back what I said earlier. Don't you think that's a little much, Mr. Aizawa?" Connor asked, speaking more for Izuku who he noticed was sweeting like crazy.
"Connor's right. You can't send one of us home! I mean, we just got here! Even it wasn't the first day, that isn't fair!" Ochako agreed.
"Oh, and you think natural disasters are? Or power-hungry villains? Hm? Or catastrophic accidents that wipe out whole cities? And don't think I've forgotten about the demons and who knows what other villains that previous ranger teams have faced." Aizawa asked, resulting in the students murmuring amongst themselves. "No, the world is full of unfairness. It's a hero's job to try and combat that unfairness. If you wanna be a pro, you're gonna have to push yourself to the brink. For the next three years, UA will throw one terrible hardship after another at you. So go beyond. Plus, Ultra-style. Show me it's no mistake that you're here."
'I don't approve of this kind of hazing, but UA's the top hero program. I have no choice.' Iida thought to himself.
'Time to blow these nerds away.' Bakugo thought with a smirk.
'Why do I have a feeling that his threat of expulsion is no more than a deception? But what's wrong with Izuku? If he punched a zero-pointer villain with one blow during the exam, why does he look so nervous.' Connor wondered in his mind.
"Now then, we're just wasting time by talking. Let the games begin." Aizawa said.
For the next half-hour, the students of Class 1-A conducted partook in these eight tests, showing their quirks which Connor observed to the detail. Iida's quirk was engine, giving him incredible speeds, Ochako's was zero gravity, allowing her to nullify the gravitational pull of anything she touched, but the downside of her power was that if she used it too much, she would vomit.
Next up was the flamboyant French boy, Yugo Aoyama whose quirk was a belly button laser, which if he used too much would give him a stomachache. Following Aoyama was Bakugo, whose quirk allowed him to turn his sweet into powerful explosions, which based on what Connor could see could cause a lot of collateral damage if he was reckless.
Then, there was Hanta Sero, who could generate tape from his elbows, Mezo Shoji who could generate multiple limbs from his arms, Mina Ashido who could spit out acid like a certain variant of a movie monster that once gave him nightmares, when he was only ten years old.
The blond-haired boy with the tail was Mashirao Ojiro, who Connor noticed that his tail was his quirk, acting as a third arm, while the blond-haired boy with the lightning bolt shaped streak of black hair, Denki Kaminari had an electric type of quirk. The girl with the earphone jacks on her ears was named Kyoka Jiro, while the bird head boy, Fumikage Tokoyami's quirk was called Dark Shadow, which was an emitter type quirk that acted like his guardian.
Following them, was Momo Yaoyorozu, who could use the lipids in her body to create any object she wanted, Toru Hagakure who was always invisible thanks to her quirk, Koji Koda, who could communicate with animals, Rikido Sato who could multiply his strength ten-fold for three minutes for every ten-grams of sugar he consumed. The spikey haired boy, Ejiro Kirishima's quirk could harden his entire body, protecting him from most physical attacks and making him a beast in melee combat.
The last two students were Shoto Todoroki, who appeared to have two types of quirks, one of which was ice based, but the last was a mystery and finally, Laura 'Sooleawa' Karibuchi, the half Japanese, half Canadian girl. Her quirk turned her entire skeletal system into metal and allowed her to generate metal claws from her hands and feet. 'A lot of promising quirks in this class. Well, except Bakugo's. Useful in hand-to-hand combat, stealth, recon and rescue missions. Just one of those quirks in the hands of Olympius could spell disaster for the entire world.' Connor thought as he watched each and every one of his classmates partake in each of the tests.
Being quirkless, Connor did his best on each of the tests, but he noticed that Izuku was struggling more than everyone else. 'Izuku, I don't know what your quirk is, but if Olympius tries to take your quirk, he'll have to go through me, my sister, and the rest of the rangers. Still, it seems that you don't have control over your quirk, and it seems familiar.'
As the tests came and went, Connor was selected for the softball throw. "Alright, let's do this." Connor said, taking a deep breath and drew back his arm, then threw the ball. The distance wasn't as far as Bakugo's, but it was an impressive five-hundred and fifty-five meters. "Wow, that's better than I thought it would be." He said with amazement.
He turned his head and then looked to Izuku who was still sweeting like crazy. "This is bad. I've got to come up with some kind of game plan. Everyone's had at least one crazy-good score already, even Connor. All that's left is this, the distance run, sit-ups, and the seated toe touch. It's now or never. This is my best chance to use One for All.' Izuku thought.
"If Midoriya doesn't shape up soon, he's the one going home." Iida said worriedly.
"Huh? Of course, he is. He's a Quirkless loser." Bakugo said with scoff.
"He has a Quirk. Didn't you hear what he did at the entrance exam?" Iida asked in disbelief, much to Bakugo's ignorance.
"He's always been a quirkless loser. Ever since kindergarten, he's been a helpless, quirkless, loser who's worthless and won't amount to anything." Bakugo countered.
"I beg to differ." Connor countered back. "I might not have seen what Izuku did at the exam, but he's got both a quirk and the heart and soul of a hero. So, take my advice, stop putting him down, shut up and except the fact that you're not as superior as you think you are, Kachan."
"Shut up!" Bakugo scoffed.
As Izuku readied himself for his turn at the softball throw, he thought back to the moments between himself, his mom, and All Might, who happened to be watching from nearby. With a yell, he threw the softball, only to find that his quirk didn't activate. "Uh… What gives? I was trying to use it just now." He questioned.
"I erased your Quirk." Aizawa answered, making Izuku gasp as the teacher's scarf almost came alive and his eyes glowed red. "The judges for this exam were not rational enough. Someone like you should never be allowed to enroll at this school."
"Wait? You erased my…" Izuku began before he spotted the yellow goggles around Aizawa's neck. "Ah! Those goggles. I know you! You can look at someone and cancel out their powers. The Erasure Hero. Eraser Head!" he exclaimed.
"Eraser? Who's that?" Sero asked.
"Oh, I've heard of him. I think he works on the downlow." Tsuyu realized.
"The kind of hero who doesn't like the press working as a teacher?" Connor surmised. "Ok, I think I can see where this is going."
"Finally! Someone else sees that Deku doesn't belong here. And it's coming from the other guy who doesn't belong here!" Bakugo chuckled.
"That's not what I said." Conner clarified.
"You're not ready. You don't have control over your power. Were you planning to break your bones again? Counting on someone else to save your useless body?" Aizawa asked Midoriya.
"No! That's not what I was trying to do!" Izuku exclaimed only for the scarf of his teacher to wrap around his waist and pull him in close.
"No matter what your intentions are, you would be nothing more than a liability in battle. The same could be said for a certain red warrior if he gets too careless." Aizawa told Midoriya, casting a glance in Connor's direction before turning back to the green haired boy. "You have the reckless passion as another overzealous hero I know. One who saved a thousand lives in a single day and became a legend. But even with that drive, you're worthless if you can only throw a single punch before breaking down. Sorry, Midoriya. With your power, there's no way you can become a hero." Aizawa told the green haired boy.
The other students gasped, save for Bakugo who was still the same as he'd always been to Izuku, but Connor felt himself gripping his arm tight. Even if it was coming from a teacher, no one talked to his friend and got away with it, but at the same time, he felt like Aizawa was doing something more than just telling Izuku he couldn't be a hero. At last, Aizawa let go of Izuku and shutdown his quirk, allowing Midoriya to take his final throw. 'Come on, Izuku, show that idiot Bakugo that you do belong here at UA. Show him that you are worthy of being a hero and that you aren't a 'helpless nerd'. Show him what I already know.' Connor thought.
From atop UA's main building, Diabolico focused his eyes on Izuku with interest. "Whatever the boy's power is, there's no doubt in my mind it's a power that Olympius would try to take and yet, it's the kind of power worthy of a ranger. Perhaps this boy has more potential than his teacher thinks." The golden demon said to himself as he continued to watch the events below.
All eyes were on Izuku as he stepped up and prepared to take his throw. "I've only got one shot at nailing this, so what am I gonna do?" Izuku said to himself, looking at the softball in his hands. As he contemplated his options, his gaze turned back to Connor who gave him a smile. "That's right, Connor said he believes in me, so I have to believe in myself and show Mr. Aizawa that I do belong here."
'Still, I can't control my power. But I can't just give up either. Do I let the egg explode? It might be my only shot at staying at U.A. I have to try something. No matter the consequences.' Izuku thought to himself, pulling back his hands and the ball before he threw it. 'Mr. Aizawa was right about what he said. If I can't control my Quirk, there's no way I'll ever become a hero. I have to work way harder than everyone else here if I wanna succeed. Even if a have a lot to learn, I'll focus on what I can do right now.'
"Smash!" Izuku shouted, throwing the ball with all his strength and power through his fingertip, minimizing the injury while maximizing the throw for a total of seven hundred and five point three yards, causing the other students to gasp while Mr. Aizawa looked at Midoryia who was clutching his hand with the broken finger. "Mr. Aizawa. You, see? I'm still standing."
"This kid." The teacher said with an impressed smile for one of the rare moments he ever was impressed.
"That's more powerful than anything I've ever seen." Diabolico said to himself from the roof.
"I knew he had potential, but damn that's not what I was expecting." Connor said in disbelief. "But a throw like that, did he channel all his power into the throw? I still can't even figure out what his quirk is, but it's still powerful and leaves a bit to be desired."
"He threw it over seven hundred meters!" Kaminari exclaimed in disbelief.
"Nice! He's finally showing us his true power!" Ochako praised.
"But his finger appears to be broken now. Just like in the exam. This quirk is very peculiar." Iida observed.
"It wasn't a very pretty throw." Aoyama added.
"'Pretty' has nothing to do with it Frenchie. In the tests or with our rankings." Connor pointed out.
Bakugo on the other hand was at a loss for words and his jaw had dropped. The last thing he ever expected to see was that 'Deku' had a power like he showed when he knew that the nerd never had a quirk when they were kids. It seemed impossible and he felt like the kid he bullied for most of his life was up to something. He even started to remember what Izuku told him, that someone he looked up to told him that he had what it took to be a hero. "I'm getting to the bottom of this." He growled.
"Hey!" he shouted resulting in a gasp from the other students and Izuku as he charged at the 'nerd.' "DEKU, YOU BASTARD! TELL ME HOW YOU DID THAT, OR YOU'RE DEAD!" Izuku screamed as Bakugo charged towards him with an explosive force and braced himself for what would have come, but to his surprise he saw that Bakugo was soon wrapped up in Aizawa's scarf, preventing him from even using his quirk. "What the hell? Why the hell is your scarf so strong?" he cursed.
"Because it's a capture weapon made out of special metal alloy. Stand down. It'd be wise to avoid making me use my Quirk so much. It gives me serious dry eye." Aizawa explained, his eyes glowing red once more.
"Too bad. That power is amazing!" the students all said at once.
Finally, Aizawa released his hold on Bakugo and the tests resumed, with Izuku fighting through the pain on each and every test before they were finally concluded. "All right, time to give you your results. I've ranked you all from best to worst. You should probably have a good idea of your standing already. I'll just pull up the whole list. It's not worth going over each individual's score." Aizawa said, pressing a button on his phone and brought up a ranking board with the names of the twenty class 1-A students on it.
'The person ranked last is going to be expelled. And the only test I was any good at was the softball throw! Can I squeak by on that score alone? I bombed the rest of the challenges.' Izuku thought as he and everyone else looked at the results.
1st place: Momo Yaoyorozu
2nd place: Shoto Todoroki
3rd place: Katsuki Bakugo
4th place: Tenya Iida
5th place: Fumikage Tokoyami
6th place: Mezo Shoji
7th place: Mashirao Ojiro
8th place: Ejiro Kirishima
9th place: Mina Ashido
10th place: Ochako Uraraka
11th place: Koji Koda
12th place: Rikido Sato
13th place: Tsuyu Asui
14th place: Connor Grayson
15th place: Laura 'Sooleawa' Karabuchi
16th place: Hanta Sero
17th place: Denki Kaminari
18th place: Kyoka Jiro
19th place: Toru Hagakure
20th place: Yugo Aoyama
21st place: Izuku Midoriya
Seeing his name at the bottom of the list, Izuku whimpered in defeat. 'I'm in last place. I failed.' He thought. Connor noticed this and was about to comfort his friend when Aizawa revealed the truth.
"And I was lying, no one's going home. That was just a rational deception to make sure you gave it your all in the tests."
"WHAAAAAAAT!" the students yelled in surprise, save for Sooleawa who kept quiet.
"I'm surprised the rest of you didn't figure it out. I'm sorry. I guess I should have probably said something."
"You think!?" came the shouts from Jiro, Kaminari, and Mina.
"Alright, we're done for the day. Pick up a syllabus in the classroom. Read it over before tomorrow morning." Aizawa instructed. The other students headed back indoors, while he handed Izuku a slip of paper. "Midoriya, take this and go have the old lady fix you up. Things are going to be tougher tomorrow when your actual training begins. Make sure you're prepared."
As Izuku left, Connor who was waiting for his friend was about to join the others but was called over by Aizawa who wanted to discuss a few things with the Red Ranger. "I didn't want to say this in front of the other students, but I'm against the idea of having the Power Rangers attending U.A." Aizawa said bluntly.
"You believe that we're going to place the rest of the students and staff in danger? Right?" Connor guessed.
"I am. I know for a fact that the Aquabase used by the original Lightspeed Rangers was infiltrated by Batlings who destroyed the base with the Lifeforce Megazord and who were able to take control of the Omega Megazord. An incident like those puts the safety of those attending U.A in jeopardy." Aizawa continued.
"I understand your concerns. But I can assure you that the five of us being here at U.A is all for the better." Connor countered. "Me and the other rangers, we believe that Olympius might come to U.A when it comes to powering up his monsters. If the quirks one of your students is taken, it could be given to a monster, and they will become more dangerous. We didn't agree to Nezu's offer just so we could get rich and famous."
"That's what I wanted to hear." Aizawa said with a smile. "Many students who apply to the hero course are only focused on becoming heroes so they can become famous. You five are different, like many others I've seen before. Let's just make sure that you don't slack off."
"We never slack off." Connor said, heading back inside, not noticing All Might nearby.
The rest of the day went by quick and by the end of the day, Izuku was tired after the nurse of U.A, Recovery Girl healed his finger, but left him extremely tired, as he walked to the door, he found Iida waiting for him. "How's the broken finger?" the engine user asked.
"O-Oh. It's doing fine, thanks to Recovery Girl." Izuku admitted, though he felt extremely tired.
"I was a bit concerned by Mr. Aizawa's approach to class. But I trust the school's judgement. UA is the top program. Even so, lying is downright immoral." Iida said, changing the subject.
"Sounds like you're a bit serious about school." Connor said to Iida, walking up behind them. "But I can't disagree with your concerns, and I can't disagree with what Mr. Aizawa was trying to do."
"Just what was Mr. Aizawa trying to accomplish with the deception?" Iida asked.
"That you'll have to find out for yourself." Connor said with a smile, kneeling down to catch a certain black object that was waiting for him at the entrance to UA. "Hey, Cody!" he said playfully as the black lab puppy that All Might saved from the lava jumped into his arms, licking his face like crazy. "Ok, ok. I get it, you missed me. I missed you too boy." Connor laughed.
"You had your dog wait for you at school? Dogs aren't allowed on school grounds!" Iida exclaimed.
"He wasn't waiting for me. He came up here all on his own. And yes, he is my dog, but it was All Might who gave the dog to me and the other rangers after he saved him. I kind of have a thing for dogs and I already spoke to the principle about it." Conner explained. "Besides, who could get mad at a face like this?"
Connor got back to his feet, holding his puppy in his arms who then looked at Iida and barked happily. "Well-I suppose if the principle allowed it, then I guess it's alright." Iida relented. "But if he ends up disrupting our education, I will file a legitimate complaint to the school."
"Figured you'd say that." Connor said with a sweat drop.
"Hey! Wait up, you three!" a familiar voice called out from behind, revealing Ochako running towards them. "Are you going to the station? I'll join you guys!" she called out, then noticed Cody. "Oh, a puppy!"
"Oh, you're the infinity girl." Iida realized.
"Yeah, I'm Ochako Uraraka." Ochako introduced. "Let's see. You are Tenya Iida. You are Connor Grayson." She then looked to Izuku. "And your name is… Deku, right? Midoriya."
"Deku?" Izuku asked in shock.
"Uh, yeah, isn't that what Bakugo called you? During the fitness test?" Ochako asked.
"Uh, well. My name's actually Izuku. Deku's what Kacchan calls me to make fun of me." Izuku admitted.
"That's unsportsmanlike." Iida said.
"'Unsportsmanlike' is putting it mildly." Connor added, resulting in Ochako and Iida looking at him. "I also had the unlucky pleasure of knowing Bakugo when I was part of the student exchange program to the middle school that he and Izuku went to and let me tell you, he's worse than what you've seen."
"Yet his quirk is very powerful." Iida pointed out.
"And that's where the problem is." Connor continued. "From what I know, the moment Bakugo's quirk emerged, he became the full of himself, egotistical and a bully. He'd always bully those who were quirkless and that he saw were beneath him, he even went as far as to throw Izuku's notebook out the window and told him that if he wanted a quirk, he should take a swan dive off the building and pray he was reborn in the next life with a quirk."
"He said those things?" Ochako asked.
"Yeah, and he even had the nerve to interrupt my report on the Power Rangers before I returned to the states. With that kind of attitude and personality, he's got a long way to go to become a hero, or the next number one hero." Connor added, scratching the back of Cody's head.
"Such vulgar behavior!" Iida exclaimed.
"You know what? I like 'Deku'. It could make a great hero name! Plus, I think it sounds kind of cute." Ochako said, despite hearing everything that Connor said about Bakugo.
"Deku it is!" Izuku said with a red face.
"Just like that? Weren't you saying that it was an insult?" Tenya exclaimed in surprise.
"Paradigm shift! My whole world is upside down!" Izuku exclaimed, almost hysterically.
"Wait, what?" Ochako asked.
"I can explain it better tomorrow." Connor told the girl and headed off in the direction of Mondo's house, his dog in his arms and the first day of hero high school behind him, but at the same time, he felt like he was being watched.
At the very same moment, in another dimension, a ball of energy entered the Skull Cavern and manifested into the form of Jinxer who knelt down in front of his prince, who was sitting on his throne. "Oh, my prince. I have returned and have gathered the energy of several powerful foes for us to revive. I even went to Terra Venture and the ruins of Trakenna's old ship to gather energy." Jinxer reported.
"Excellent work, Jinxer. How soon can you bring them back to the world of the living?" Olympius inquired.
"I can begin the necessary preparations for the spell right away, my prince. Leave everything to me and I promise you, you will be not disappointed." Jinxer answered and left the throne room, leaving Olympius alone with a smile on his face.
And finished.
First off, Laura is a character based on X-23 and Wolverine from Marvel, but she's for the moment a silent lady like Neo from RWBY or if you are familiar with the first game, Jak from Jak, and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy. She is replacing Mineta for my story because I am in the agreement that Mineta is not worthy of being a hero. Sure, it's funny when his peeping tom habits lead to moments that make me laugh.
As for the rest of the lightspeed rangers, you'll have to see what courses they are taking part in next time. But I can assure you that we'll see some ranger action soon. Speaking of action, does anyone have any idea of what kind of quirks the descendants of Bulk and Skull should have?
Just who does Jinxer plan on reviving? I can tell you this much, some of them are dangerous while also comic relief. You'll just have to guess or wait and see. So, until next time, please read and review. Oh, and I also have three ideas for other rangers from two other teams appearing in this story. Here's a hint, they use fire.
