Well looks like no one wanted to take a guess as to which rangers I was talking about when I gave the fire hint, well no matter, I'm sure that you'll all have certain reactions when I bring them in.
This will be the only time I plan on skipping a key point in the My Hero Academia canon. It's a bit difficult to write and watch the scenes of the episodes I'm adapting at the same time. So, if anyone has an idea for me, I'd appreciate the help.
On another note, Star Wars Ahsoka is looking incredible. I am of course, hoping that we see a live action representation of my boy, Captain Rex. Seeing as Morrison returned to play a clone trooper in Obi-Wan, I think seeing him as Rex would be something that us fans of the best trooper in the 501st would love to see.
Any who, it's time we find out who Jinxer has planned to revive for Olympius. But first, a question for those of you who have watched Mobile Suit Gundam, Iron Blooded Orphans. How would you feel if I used the basis of Gundam Frames like Barbatose or Bael as demons?
First the reviews.
Clynch13: Well, I don't know about Billy. Don't get me wrong, as awesome as the first blue ranger is, he'd have passed away by now in my story, considering he did return to Earth during the events of the Robo-Rita incident and I'm still blanking on the technology used by those of Aquitar.
DCDGojira: Thanks and I if you've read the Transformers/MHA by Omni-Remnant, he based an OC of a character from Marvel, so I took a que from him, but used X-23 and Wolverine. Did I forget to mention that Laura has a strong sense of smell like the two of them?
Aztec13: Eraserhead was more concerned about the reasons why Connor and the other rangers decided to accept Nezu's offer. Pretty sure that there are plenty of students who came to UA to become heroes only for fame, fortune and money, the things that a certain 'HK' doesn't like about hero society. Now about Endeavor, I've been running my head like crazy about ideas for the flaming hero and his stance on the rangers, some of them involving an earlier change in his character after what we saw in season's 4, 5 and 6. As for Jinxer's plans, you'll be pleased to know that those enemies you mentioned will be returning.
KINGKAIJUS5: Those sound like some excellent quirks for the comic relief duo. I like them, thanks.
Luffy L Deathwalker: If you ever watch the anime, you'll see how much of a perv Mineta is.
Just a reader now a writer: I can understand where you are coming from, but keep in mind there is one ranger whose powers are too strong for a normal human, but as for Izuku being a ranger, I'm still unsure.
Alright, que the intro.

Chapter 5: Old Foes Return
Thunder and lightning echoed around the Skull Cavern as Jinxer placed the canisters of spiritual energy on several stone pedestals around a large blood-red crystal situated in the center of a large chamber in the lower levels of their base of operations. "The canisters are in place, my Prince. Now to begin the revival ritual." The bug demon told Olympius who stood nearby and watched.
"Then stop wasting time and revie them at once, Jinxer." Olympius ordered.
"At once, my prince." Jinxer replied and opened his spell book. "Darkness far and wide, converge together and revive these fallen warriors." He began as dark energy gathered and entered the crystal. "Warriors of evil, we call upon you. Return to the land of the living and seek your revenge. Rise up from the darkness and bring new life. Arise and live again!" he chanted as more and more dark energy flew into the crystal while the canisters glowed brightly before they finally shattered, and the energy took physical form.
The first to emerge in physical form was a golden armored flying monkey-like creature, followed by a skeletal figure with red eyes and a mix of military camouflage on his bones. Both of them wielded swords. The third figure to emerge was a black monster with green lines all around him and red eyes.
Following the black and green monster was a monster with six horns, yellow eyes, sharp teeth, long fingernails, a red and grey face and wore an orange-like outfit. Next was a creature with a blue and yellow head and wearing red armor, followed by a blue and white manta ray-like monster with a cape that resembled a manta-ray's wings.
Next, was a yellow, black, and red alien that almost appeared to be robotic with a silver neck and metal arm guard blasters, then a one that resembled a pirate, followed by a knight themed creature with a large, spiked mace.
Also emerging from the energy was a red, rock-based monster with a horns and a humanoid creature with icicles on his head that was like his hair, made up completely of ice and then a human female wearing purple and black clothing.
Five more figures emerged, these ones being Automon, Gerrok, Steelon, Tezzla and General Venjix, warriors of the Machine Empire who met their end at the combined strength of ten Red Rangers.
Finally, the last two figures emerged from the energy, one taking the form of a rather ugly looking monster and the other a human female wearing scorpion themed armor. "My prince, allow me to introduce you to Goldar, Rito Revolto, Ecliptor, Darkonda, Treacheron, Villamax, Deviot, Loyax, Moltor, Flurious, Miratrix, Scorpina, Automon, Gerrok, Steelon, Tezzla, General Venjix, and…." Jinxer began but some found himself blanking on the name of the last fallen warrior that was summoned.
"The name's Elgar, now can I get a bite to eat around here? I'm really starving!" the ugly monster asked in a dimwitted tone, spotting a Battling nearby. "Hey, you! Can I get a turkey on rye, extra peanut butter and marshmallows?" the battling nodded and left the chamber. "Thanks, you're the best!"
"I don't seem to remember gathering your energy." Jinxer admitted.
"Eh, who cares. I've fought the rangers more times than some monsters, plus I am the one who discovered the Power Chamber and helped to blow it up." Elgar pointed out.
"Gah! Where are we?" Goldar demanded. "And why does it smell around here?"
Rito took a whiff of his boney armpits and recoiled. "Oh, that'd be me. Guess being in the ground for so many years doesn't make you smell like fresh daisies." He answered. "Ah, I like smelling like this."
"You shouldn't be here, traitor!" Ecliptor shouted, his sword ready to run Darkonda through. "You destroyed Dark Specter!"
"Oh, like you wouldn't have done the same thing?" Darkonda shot back, raising his own sword.
"All of you! Stop this bickering at once!" Olympius ordered. The former fallen monsters turned to face Olympius with a glare. "I am Olympius, son of queen Bansheera! And I have brought you back to the world of the living to serve me."
"Why should we serve you?" Deviot questioned.
"Because only together, we can destroy the Power Rangers." Olympius answered, causing any form of arguing to end. "Alone, we could not hope to defeat the rangers, but by uniting as a single force, we can destroy the Power Rangers once and for all!"
"Thrax suggested the same thing, and he ended up getting destroyed by the Sentinel Knight. What makes you think you can accomplish this task?" Moltor asked.
"I agree with my brother." Flurious agreed. "But at the same time, I feel that we should listen to what the prince has to say. His plan feels like it would be extremely different than the one purposed by Thrax."
"I can assure you; my plan is much more different than the one Thrax had. Rather than destroying the source of their power, we take the powers of the most powerful humans on the planet and use them to power up our monsters." Olympius said.
"Eh, what powers?" Rito asked, scratching his boney head.
"Humans these days have a power called a quirk. These quirks vary from each individual, but with the right quirk given to the right monster, they will be unstoppable, and the rangers won't stand a chance." Jinxer explained. "For instance, a power type quirk infused with a monster who prefers his fists can demolish a building in one punch. Elemental quirks can give those who wield fire or ice more power and those who can regenerate will be invincible."
"Heh, sounds like those comic books I used to read, before Aunt Divatox burned them all." Elgar said. "Though, I'm guessing that even kids have them as well?"
"Eighty percent of the population on Earth has quirks. Those who have a promising quirk will be of interest to us, and if a child has a quirk, then we will simply take it from them." Olympius answered with evil intent.
"NO!" came the roar of Villamax who stood by Loyax. "You would target innocent children, because of their quirks?"
"What does it matter?" Deviot shrugged.
"That is the work of a villain! There is no honor!" Villamax shouted, turning towards Deviot. "And it's because of you, that Scorpious was destroyed by the Red Ranger! You manipulated both sides, just so you could use the power of the cocoon for yourself! I refuse to work with any of you!"
"I refuse as well. I was a mighty warrior who fought against evil for years before I lost my way. It was only because of the Yellow Ranger that I remembered who I truly was. I will not work with those who target children! We are not your pawns!" Loyax shouted, raising his mace.
"You would dare defy me? The one who went through all the trouble of reviving you both?" Olympius asked, raising his staff at the two warriors, then fired a blast of energy from his staff at the ground in front of them. "You will do as I command or face the consequences!"
"Then you'll just have to destroy us both!" Villamax taunted, vanishing in a trail of energy with Loyax before anyone could stop them.
"Oh, I was afraid of this. I should have known the two of them would remember their honor and refuse to serve you. I apologize, my prince." Jinxer said with a bow.
"Would you allow us to hunt them down and destroy them?" Venjix offered.
"It doesn't matter. If they defy us, they will be destroyed. But onto another matter, what about those five?" Olympius asked.
"It will take a great deal of time to revie them, but I can assure you, that they will be loyal to you and our allies alone." Jinxer assured.
"Perfect! Nothing can stop us from destroying the rangers! They will feel our revenge and be destroyed." Olympius said with a laugh, which echoed around the skull cavern.
Down on earth, the energy trails of Loyax and Villamax took physical form in a forested area far from the city in the dead of night. "Trakenna lost her way long ago and I will never work for someone like her or Olympius ever again. I am a warrior with honor, and I know what I must do. The rangers must know what Olympius is planning." Villamax vowed.
"I agree. But how do we find them. We're nowhere near the city and it would take us days to reach it by foot." Loyax added.
"Perhaps I can be of some assistance." Came the voice of Diabolico as he walked out from behind a tree and towards the two. "I am Diabolico and I can take you to where the rangers are."
The following afternoon, back at UA, the students of Class 1-A were sitting at their desks in their homeroom to begin their first hero basic training class, eager to see what they could do. It was at that very moment, the door opened and entering the classroom was the number one hero in the world. "I AM HERE! Coming through the door like a hero!" came the voice of All Might, wearing a different costume.
"I can't believe it's really All Might!" Kaminari gasped.
"So, he is a teacher! This year is gonna be totally awesome!" said an eager Kirishima.
"Hey, look. Is he wearing his Silver Age Costume?" Tysu asked as All Might stepped up in front of the class.
"I'm getting goosebumps. It's so retro!" Ojiro said in awe.
"Welcome to the most important class at UA High! Mostly referred as Heroing 101! Here you will learn the basics of being a pro. And what it means to fight in the name of good!" All Might stated, with the students looking interested, except for Connor who was struggling to stay awake. "Let's get into it! Today's lesson will pull no punches! That's right! It's combat training! But one of the keys of being a hero it… looking good!"
From out of the wall, twenty suitcases slid out from hidden spots, each marked one-to-twenty. "These were designed for you based on your Quirk Registration forms and the requests you sent in before school started! Get yourselves suited up and meet me at Training Ground Beta!" All Might instructed the students, before he finally noticed Connor's lack of focus while the rest of the students went to change into their costumes. "Young Grayson, I know you don't have a costume considering what you do to prepare for battle, but that's no excuse for being tired."
Connor stretched his hands and yawned before getting up from his desk. "Sorry about that, All Might. It's just that… well, I didn't get enough sleep last night. Something… well, something caused me to wake up." Connor admitted.
"Don't tell me you felt a disturbance in the force, young man?" All Might joked.
"Actually, more like I had a dream. I don't know what it was, but I saw these things fighting alongside the Battlings in some place I didn't recognize." Connor explained with a laugh, slapping his face with both hands. "It was kind of hard to fall back asleep, but I'm wide awake now."
"Good to hear! Because you and the other rangers have a special combat training course today! I'll explain more later, for now, head on over the Ground Beta, and don't forget your jacket." All Might told the Red Ranger, dashing out of the classroom as quickly as he arrived.
Later, All Might stood waiting in front of the entrance to Ground Beta, which resembled a city as the twenty-five students exited the entrance in their hero costumes. "They say that clothes make the pro's young ladies and gentlemen, and behold, you are the proof. Take this to heart. From now on you are all… Hero's in training!" All Might said as the students and rangers stood before them. "This is getting me all revved up. You look so cool! Now, shall we get started, you buncha newbies."
"I got to say, these are some pretty impressive costumes." Melissa said as she and the other rangers walked out, wearing their jackets over casual clothing.
Connor agreed with her sister as he looked at the costumes of these heroes in training. Yaoyorozu's costume consisted of a high-collared, sleeveless crimson leotard with silver lines at the waist and around the arms, exposing a lot of skin which some students would find alluring. She also sported calf-length red boots with heels and two gold utility belts, one of which was thinner around her chest.
Jiro's costume consisted of a black leather jacket, a long salmon colored shirt with several rips at the collar and hem, black pants, boots with stereo's built into their shafts, white fingerless gloves, a plain black choker and red paint marks just below her eyes. 'Definitely screams punk rocker.' The rangers thought at once.
Next was Shoto, whose costume consisted of a plain off-white shirt with matching-colored straps over his shoulders, an ice like material covering the left side of his face, which appeared to be detachable.
Iida's costume consisted of black one-piece suit with a high collar, over which was various pieces of silver armor, chest plate included, a metal collar around his neck and one around his upper arm, metal vambraces on both arms that extended past his elbows, a helmet that covered his entire face, full of holes with two curved horns just behind a single spike sticking out of the back, knee-high boots with gold accessories, specialized for his quirk with three thick metal pipes around his torso attached with a blue band. From a glance, Lena noticed the armor was lighter than the armor worn by the Silver Guardians.
Tsuyu's costume gave her a frog like appearance with a bright green turtleneck bodysuit, tan-colored gloves with large buckles on each wrist guard, two matching belts, with green dots embedded into the one around her waist. Two black lines ran all the way down her suit, each framed yellow. On her feet were a pair of tight black boots with markings shaped in a V, green webbed flippers, resembling frog's toes, while a headband that matched the color of her gloves and googles with dark, green-tinted lenses attached on either side.
Sato wore a yellow full-body suit that covered his entire body, with the exception of the holes for his mouth, eyes and hair, white gloves and boots and a utility belt around his waist that held small quantities of sugar in the pouches.
Sero's costume consisted of a black, skin-tight bodysuit with a turtleneck, which was plain apart from the white design on the mid-torso area and the two yellow trimmings around each of the elbow-length sleeves. On his feet were white boots lined with yellow with short white bands around his waist and sides of his thighs, with a larger one across his chest that connected to his shoulder pads which were shaped like tape dispensers. Completing his costume was a yellow helmet, shaped just like his shoulder pads while a sizeable black visor obscured his face.
For Kaminari, he wore a plain white shirt, over which he wore an open black jacket with a white lighting pattern across his back and matching pants with two lines running down his legs, while a single square-shaped earphone was over his right ear, which resembled a radio antenna. 'That guy's going to shock himself.' the rangers all thought.
Tokoyami wore a black robe with a tint of dark purple that covered his entire body, stopping halfway down his shins. Underneath the robe, was a dark t-shirt, wristbands, and a pair of baggy pants, followed by a pair of knee-high black boots and a double pin buckle utility belt.
Turning to Bakugo, the explosive boy's costume was composed of a tight, black, sleeveless tank top, with an orange 'X' across the middle, forming a V-neck. Dots were along the left line of the collar, indicating the support company that designed his costume. A metallic neck brace worn with rectangular ends with three holes on each side were also a part of his costume, but the big indication of his costume was the massive grenade like gauntlets that resembled the Mk 2 frag grenade from the twentieth century that his sleeves reached. Several more grenades were on his belt, that held up his baggy pants and knee guards, below which he sported black, knee-high combat boots with orange soles and eyelets. Finally, a jagged and black mask went around his eyes with large, orange-rimmed flare shaped protrudes from each side. "Wow, you weren't kidding. Bakugo really has a thing for explosions." Lena said to Connor.
"Trust me, you have no idea." Connor deadpanned, remembering several times when Bakugo used his quirk and left him covered in soot. "Kind of looks like he's preparing for war."
Ojiro's costume was karate themed, with a plain karate gi tied with a black belt, the collar of which was lined with fur and black boots with sand blue details. "Still, at least Ojiro's is simple and combat functional." Anothony pointed out.
The sparkle from Aoyama's costume caught the eyes of the rangers. The ever-flamboyant blonde-haired boy wore a bluish-black bodysuit, over which was a set of metallic lavender and golden armor, a chest plate, two spherical shoulder pads, elbow-length vambraces, and knee-length boots. On his chest plate was a high V-neck collar with a golden Greek fret-like trim, same with the lower diaphanous piece under the belt and edges of the vambraces. A long and glittering indigo cape along with a golden ring-shaped buckle with a blue crystal, which Melissa noted was for his quirk matched the smaller ones over his shoulder and knees, while straight angled golden lines ran along his baggy pants, with a matching set around his shafts. Finally, a red-tinted wing-shaped visor was worn over his eyes. 'What? Is he taking part in a fashion show?' The rangers deadpanned in thought.
Koda's costume was a tight yellow suit, that reached only to his knees and elbows, with a large red marking over his torso that ended at his sleeves. On his chest, was a symbol resembling an open mouth and on his feet were yellow shoes with red lining.
For Shoji, he wore a tight blue tank top with six markings that resembled eyes, connected at the top to a darker colored mask that was more on the indigo side, designed the same way as the one he normally wore. A belt with another, larger eye shape embedded into the center, this one colored yellow, below of which he wore slightly baggy trousers that matched his shirt, with two dark lines running down the sides of his legs, and finally a pair of indigo boots.
Uraraka's costume was a black, full-body suit with a pale pink design down the middle of her torso, topped with two black semi-spheres on her chest, pink stripes which started at her midsection, a deep pink choker, and two-toned pink sleeves with cuffs, with matching pale and deep pink accessories. Said accessories included round gauntlets with handles, chunky, knee-high boots, a two-piece belt with a round buckle, and a set of matching headgear with a tinted visor. A glance at the costume told the rangers that the accessories were designed to press her acupuncture points, but the costume appeared to be a bit tight.
Kirishima's on the other hand, was anything but tight. His costume consisted of two dark red gear-shaped shoulder pads, with a jagged sash that joined the one on his left to the right side of his belt, which had a red 'R' set into the center. Below, was a pair of baggy black pants and half cape with a ripped hem. He was also sporting a pair of dark red boots with thick rings around his calves. His chest was bare, but he wore a wired guard around his face, reaching from just above his hairline to below his jaw, with an extra piece going over the bridge of his nose, with some spiked pieces around his mouth that resembled fangs, giving him a sort of Oni-like appearance. "Not demon like, but it's interesting." Connor said, impressed.
Mina's costume was a plain white mask over her eyes, with a purple and turquoise skin-tight bodysuit with a camouflage pattern that ended just above her breasts. Over this, she wore a cropped, sleeveless, tan-colored waistcoat with white fur along the collar, which she left unbuttoned. On her feet, was a pair of custom-made plum violet and beige acid proof boots with holes in the soles, which allowed her to secrete acid from her feet, allowing her to slide around.
For Laura, she wore black leather biker pants and boots, short black leather biker gloves with holes at the knuckles. An army green camo, short-sleeved t-shirt was covered by a leather biker jacket with a hood completed her costume. "Interesting biker costume, Laura. It looks good." Anthony said, but Laura didn't say anything except nodded at Anthony's compliment.
Finally, there was Hagakure, who was a simply a pair of light blue gloves decorated by pale pink lines and light brownish-gray lace up shoes. "You sure that's all you need for a costume?" Thomas asked Hagakure.
"I'm good with it, TJ." Toru assured. "You don't mind if I call you TJ, right?"
"I'm used to being called, Thomas. But I think TJ sounds better." TJ answered.
Connor looked around and noticed that someone was missing. "I don't see Izuku anywhere. Maybe he's still changing into his costume." He said to himself.
The sound of footsteps from the entrance made Connor turn around to see Izuku emerging from the darkness wear a light green full-body jumpsuit with a red belt, elbow pads, knee pads, and gloves along with Izuku's signature red boots. He also wore a mask with long ear-like protrusions that clearly resembled All Might's haircut and a respirator with a makeshift smile on it that reflected All Might's own smile. "Such a fan boy." He chuckled to himself.
Uraraka noticed Izuku's late arrival and was quick to join him. "Ah! Hey, Deku! Love your costume! Not to flashy, ya know?" she said, causing Izuku to let out a muffled whimper. "I should've been more specific about what I wanted. This bodysuit is skintight. Not really my style." She admitted, rubbing the back of her head nervously.
"Be glad there's not a student at this school who let's his hormones get the better of him and say they love the school because of the costumes of the female students. There are people like that in the world and they are just creepy." Lena pointed out, unaware that somewhere, a certain boy with balls on his head let out a loud sneeze.
At that moment, All Might noticed the resemblance of himself on Izuku's costume and let out a small cough under his breath. "Now that you're ready, it's time to begin the combat training." He announced.
"Sir! This is the fake city from our entrance exam. Does that mean we'll be conduction urban battles again?" Iida asked with a hand raised. "Also, might I ask who the other four students are?"
"Not quite. But as for the students, allow me to introduce you all to Thomas Johnson, Anthony Park and Lena Earhart from General Studies Class 1-C and Melissa Shields from Support Course Class 1-G. The blue, green, yellow, and pink Lightspeed Rangers." All Might answered.
"This is so cool! Five Power Rangers at UA!" Kirishima said with excitement.
"And two of them are complete hotties." Kaminari added.
"Did All Might say Shields? As in David Shields?" Sato asked.
"You mean that's his daughter?" Sero asked.
"Bah! What's the big deal? They're just a bunch of quirkless losers who think they can become heroes because they're stupid power rangers!" Bakugo scoffed, not impressed with them in the slightest.
"Students, might I remind you that you're in class right now?" All Might reminded, causing the students to simmer down while he continued to explain the exercise, he had planned for them. "Now then, I'm going to move you two steps ahead. Most of the villain fights you see on the news take place outside. However, statistically speaking, run-ins with the dastardliest evildoers take place indoors. Think about it. Backroom deals, home invasions, secret underground lairs. Truly intelligent criminals stay hidden in the shadows. For this training exercise, you'll be split into teams of good guys and bad guys and fight two-on-two indoor battles."
"Isn't this a little advanced?" Tsuyu asked.
"The best training is what you get on the battlefield! But remember, you can't just punch a robot this time or pilot a megazord. You're dealing with actual people now." All Might answered.
"Sir, will you be deciding the one who wins?" Momo asked.
"How much can we hurt the other team?" Bakugo asked with a grin.
"Do we need to worry about the losers getting expelled like earlier?" Ochako asked.
"Will you be splitting us up based on chance or comparative skill?" Tenya asked.
"Isn't this cape trA's chic?" Aoyama asked, holding his cape.
"I wasn't finished talking!" All Might growled, pulling out a small book from his back pocket and opened it. "Listen up. The situation is this. The villains have hidden a nuclear missile somewhere in their hideout. The heroes must try to foil their plans. To do that, the good guys have to either catch the evildoers or recover the weapon. Likewise, the bad guys succeed if they protect their payload or capture the heroes. Time's limited, so we'll be choosing teams by drawing lots." All Might finished, holding a massive box in his hands.
"Sounds like the script for a classic action movie." Izuku said aloud.
"Yeah, and I love those. So long as the end doesn't involve the death of the hero." Connor added.
"Isn't there a better way?" Tenya questioned, not thrilled about the idea of drawing lots.
"When you think about, pro's often have to team up heroes from other agencies on the spot, so maybe that's the reason we're seeing that here today." Izuku reason.
"Yes, I see." Iida said, putting a hand to his chin. "Life is a random series of events." He then turned to All Might. "Excuse me for my rudeness."
"No sweat. Let's draw!" All Might shouted. "Oh, and before I forget, the rangers will be participating in their own combat training after everyone else, but if they wish to partake in mock battles, they may do so. So, no complaints about them getting special treatment because of their powers."
Lots were drawn and both Izuku and Ochako drew the balls marked A while Iida and Bakugo drew the balls marked D. "Wow! What are the chances? We're a team!" Ochako said with excitement while Izuku was more nervous than he ever was before.
"I declare that the first two teams to fight will be…. These guys!" All Might shouted, pointing to both Iida and Bakugo and Izuku and Ochako. "Team A will be the heroes; Team D will be the villains. Everyone else can head to the monitoring room to watch!"
"Yes sir!" the students said at once, except for Laura. As the students headed for the monitor room, Connor noticed Izuku had a determined look on his face, while Bakugo just scoffed. 'I got a really bad feeling about this.' He thought to himself.
He was right. Throughout the entire first match, Bakugo was gunning for Izuku as if he was trying to kill him, leaving Iida alone to guard the 'nuke'. The more Connor watched as Bakugo targeted his friend, he felt his blood boil and the temptation to interfere with the match continued to rise. His hands gripped the sleeve of his jacket as he continued to watch.
To his surprise and delight, he saw that Izuku was using the notes he wrote down in his notebook about quirks to come up with various counters. The fanboy knowledge was paying off for Izuku, but Bakugo was clearly out for blood.
Even All Might was concerned the moment he realized that Bakugo had built up enough sweat for big attack. "Young Bakugo! Don't do it! You'll kill him!" All Might shouted, but that didn't stop Bakugo from unleashing a powerful attack that caused the entire building to shake.
"Damn. You weren't kidding when you said Bakugo was vicious. He's like a shark that just smelt blood." Lena said.
"It get's worse." Melissa interjected. "Based on the size of the gauntlets, the more sweat he builds up, the more powerful the explosion will be. If he builds up too much, he'll bring the whole building down."
"Are you serious!?" Kirishima exclaimed, then turned to All Might. "Sir, this is getting out of hand! Bakugo is going crazy! He's going to kill him!"
"Not so." All Might said, remembering what Bakugo said to him over the radio, but he was still worried. "Bakugo! Use that stored up power again and I'll stop the fight. Your team will lose. To employ such a strong attack indoors is inviting the destruction of the stronghold you should be protecting. That's a poor strategy, where you're a hero or a villain. The penalty would be a massive loss of points!" All Might shouted into the radio that Bakugo had in his ear.
As Izuku moved towards the window, Bakugo switched to hand-to-hand combat and used his quirk to get behind Izuku, hitting him. "He doesn't appear to come off as a guy with a strategy. But he's actually quite intelligent." Shoto observed.
"Bakugo and intelligent in the same sentence? Are you sure about that, Shoto?" TJ asked.
"Yeah, I'm with TJ on this. What're you talking about?" Mina asked.
"He changed his trajectory while in midair, using a blast that doubled as a smokescreen. Very clever." Shoto explained.
"A feint attack like that requires an extreme about of precision. He had to calculate the physics and demonstrate control over his Quirk." Momo added.
"Ugh, that Bakugo is uber talented. I hate it." Kaminari sighed.
"This is too hard to watch! All he has to do is wrap tape around him not kill him!" Mina exclaimed.
"Bakugo is certainly acting like a villain." Tokoyami added.
"I thought Midoriya was pretty amazing at the start of the fight, but he's clearly outmatched in terms of combat power. Not to mention Bakugo seems like a natural at all this stuff." Ojiro pointed out.
"Talented, he may be. But reckless he is." Connor said, doing a very impressive impersonation of a certain wise old man. "So focused on Izuku he is, that Bakugo does not realize already, he his team has lost the match. A plan, Izuku and Ochako have."
"Did you just speak like Yoda?" Kirishima asked.
"I do a good impression, but now let's watch." Connor answered as the match finally came to its conclusion. Izuku finally used his quirk as both his fists and Bakugo's fists collided, blowing a massive hole through the roof, while Ochako was able to touch the weapon, ending the match, but not without cost. The backlash of using his quirk broke Izuku's arm.
"The hero teams… WINS!" All Might declared.
"Whew! Talk about nerve wracking. I thought that Bakugo was going to do a lot worse to Midoriya." Jiro sighed with relief.
"I think the bruises I got from when Bakugo used his quirk on me are hurting again." Connor sighed, also with relief.
"Wait? He used his quirk on you?" Shoji asked.
"Yeah, well, Bakugo was quite the bully back in junior high school, especially to Izuku." Connor admitted. "But when it came to me, he'd sometime send me flying and I'd end up crashing into a brick wall."
"I am so going to kill him." Kyoka muttered under her breath.
Despite Izuku's injuries, the rest of the matches proceed normally, with Iida being the MVP of the first match for showing the embodiment of evil, while Shoto showed that he was just as powerful as Bakugo when it came to using his ice, but the rangers noticed that he never once used his left side.
When it came to Laura though, Lena noticed that when she was in combat, she fought like a disciplined and well-trained soldier and used all her senses rather then her quirk, but that didn't stop them from laughing when Aoyama's cape was burnt by Mina's acid and when Kaminari shocked himself silly. "All right, students it's time for the rangers to partake in the combat training! For their training, they will be using the latest simulation technology that many of you might have seen before if you ever took a field trip to NASADA." All Might shouted as entering the monitor room was a red and gold robot with a golden lightning bolt in the center of their body which glowed entered the room.
"Ay-YI-YI. Did anyone else feel the entire room shaking when someone destroyed a monster or was it just me?" The robot said in female voice, before it turned to Bakugo. "Oh, that explains it. I thought it was the Mega V3 missile going into overload." The robot answered.
"Who the hell are you, a walking trash can?" Bakugo snarled.
"I am Alpha-6. Faithful companion of the Power Rangers and operator of UA's new simulation training course." Alpha answered. "My mission is to protect the Power Rangers. And their quest: To protect the universe from the forces of evil. One goal, one team, known as the Power Rangers."
"Awesome! I didn't think I'd ever get to meet a real robot, let alone one at U.A." Mina exclaimed with excitement.
"Please be careful, miss. I'd rather not get acid on me and melt my circuits." Alpha advised.
"Oh, right, sorry." Mina pouted.
"Oh, don't worry about it." Alpha waved off. "All Might, all systems are online and operational. We can now begin the Ranger's combat training." He told All Might.
"Many thanks, my robotic friend." All Might said, turning to the students. "I suppose I should explain. Alpha here is in charge of the newest training method for those of you in the hero course. When the rangers excepted the offer to attend U.A., the school reached out and requested that NASADA provide us with the same technology used in the Simudeck of the Astro Megaship. Due to the systems being more advanced, Alpha here was put in charge of running the simulations." All Might explained.
"It took a lot longer than we though to prepare the simulation systems, but now they are fully operational and who better than to break it in then the Power Rangers." Alpha added.
"Now then! Rangers, please make your way to ground beta and we can begin your combat training." All Might instructed.
"You got it, Uncle Might." Melissa said and followed after the other rangers.
Entering the training ground, the rangers watched as the entire mock city was covered by a massive dome which then whirred to life as All Might's voice came over the loudspeakers. "Alright, Rangers! Time to begin your first combat training. Your enemies are the Craterites! Foes that the Space Rangers fought. While they might be holograms, heroes must never let their guard down, no matter what foe they are fighting! Your goal for your training is the same as before: locate and secure the villains' nuclear weapon within the time limit." All Might explained.
"Craterites, huh?" Anothny shrugged, cracking his knuckles, and stretching his neck. "Well, at least we don't have to worry about any lighting storms bringing them to life this time." He joked.
"Or having them take the place of actual people." Lena added.
"Look alive rangers, here come the Craterites!" Alpha announced over the loudspeaker as from above, appearing as if they were gliding down from space with parachutes, with purple bodies and black disfigured faces were the robotic Craterites. "Ai-Yi-Yi, I almost forgot. Watch out for the monster leading them!"
"So they got a squad leader, huh?" Connor smirked as the monsters landed and stood at the ready with their daggers in hand. "Well, if I had to guess, the monster is guarding the weapon, so the only path forward…" he began.
"Is to go straight through the Craterites." Melissa finished.
"Exactly. So, let's not waste any time and let's make this showy." Connor added, holding up his morpher. "Ready?"
"Ready!" the other rangers confirmed, holding up their own morphers.
"Lightspeed! Rescue!" they all shouted and morphed.
"Begin!" All Might shouted.
"Let's clear a path!" Connor shouted and drew his blaster. The other rangers followed his lead and drew their own blasters. "Rescue Blasters! Fire!"
A barrage of blaster fire downed several Craterites in the front, but the ones behind them charged towards the rangers. "Baton mode!" TJ shouted and leapt into the air towards the Craterites, landing in the middle of a small group and swung his Baton at them, slashing them across the chest. One Craterite managed to get a lucky hit on TJ, but it merely grazed him. Raising his baton behind his back and blocking the attack of another Craterite, TJ kicked it out from under its legs and punched it in the face.
The other rangers rushed in to join the battle with Lena summersaulting over several of the robotic foot soldiers, turning her body around and firing her blaster, hitting several Craterites in the chest. One Craterite knocked her blaster out of her hands, leaving her without a weapon. Backflipping several times, Lena avoided the daggers of several soldiers, landing back on the ground and crosskicked another soldier, sending it flying into the side of one of the buildings. "No damage is the best kind of damage." She said, spotting her blaster and dived for it, scooping it up and fired at one Craterite as it was about to bring its blade down on her.
Anthony swatted the punches of several Craterites away, then kicked one in the chest, knocking it back into its comrades. Fireballs from several other Craterites knocked him on his back, and one of them was about to bring its blade down on him, but the green ranger rolled to the side and leapt back to his feet, just in time to dodge another blade from his enemies. "Let's even the odds!" he exclaimed and drew his blaster in baton mode and attacked. Dodging, weaving, and parrying, Anthony countered each of the attacks sent his way.
Connor fired his blaster as his sister thrusted her baton into the chest of one Craterite, taking out of the fight while her brother continued to blast the holographic soldiers. "TJ, Anthony, Lena! We'll find the nuke! Hold them off!" Melissa shouted, raising her baton to block a dagger strike from another soldier.
"Got it!" the other rangers shouted as Melissa and Connor leapt over the Craterites and ran towards the building where the villain's hideout was.
From the monitor room, Iida placed a hand on his chin. "So, they carved a path through these creatures and allowed the red and pink rangers to go after the weapon. I must admit, a rather excellent strategy." He observed.
"Huh?" Kaminari asked.
"If the rangers focused on the Craterites and completely ignored the weapon, they would fail in their mission to protect the universe." Alpha explained. "Therefore, having two of them go after the weapon and having the others handle the Craterites is the best solution."
"I have to admit, these rangers are thinking more with their heads rather than their fists." Shoto added. "Whoever the monster they have guarding the weapon is, it will take more than two rangers to defeat it."
"That's why the rangers work as a team rather than solo heroes! Remember, when heroes team up with others, it is important to work as a team rather than a lone wolf." All Might chimed in as on the monitor, Connor and Melissa made their way through the building until they reached the weapon and the monster guarding it.
Said monster was a Vampirus monster, the same monster that attacked the Temple of Ninja Power, where Ninjor created the Power Coins used by the original Power Rangers. Katana in hand, the vampire bat monster raised its weapon and blocked a strike from Connor, while Melissa slashed at the creatures back. The monster was unfazed by the blow, and swung its katana around, slashing at Melissa's chest and sent her backwards.
"Sis!" Connor shouted, only to be kicked back by the monster and crashed into the wall. Leaping into the air, the monster was about to bring its blade down on the red ranger, but the weapon was knocked out of the monsters hands by the timely arrival of the other three rangers. "Glad you three decided to show up."
"Hey, we're here aren't we?" Lena quipped, as Melissa and Connor joined them. "Wow, and I thought Org's were ugly, but this thing takes the cake."
"At least it's not one of those monsters that can lay eggs inside you and kill you when they hatch." Anthony added.
"Let's talk movies later and focus on this ugly thing." Connor reminded the other rangers as the monster jumped out of the window and down to street level. "Securing the weapon is our objective, and we could take out the monster. But we can't let this weapon remain in enemy hands."
The others nodded and placed their hands on the weapon. "The Rangers win!" All Might shouted.
The simulation shut down and the Vampirus monster vanished, as did the remaining Craterities as All Might and the other students entered the training ground where the Rangers stood with their helmets off. "That's a wrap! Super work. You really stepped up to the plate. And, we didn't have any major injuries, except for Midoriya. You should be proud. Excellent first day of training, all around!" All Might praised.
"It's nice to hear some encouraging words after our homeroom class. Mr. Aizawa was kind of a buzzkill." Tsuyu said.
"I'm happy to bring such staggering positivity to my alma mater! That's all for now, folks. I should go and check on Young Midoriya's progress! Now, watch as a pro exits. Like he's got somewhere to be!" All Might said enthusiastically and ran from the students so fast, that they were amazed.
"Wow! Talk about a manly exit!" Kirishima said impressively, then noticed that the rangers had powered down and Connor was already heading inside. "You going to check on Midoriya as well? All Might's got it handled; he'll be fine."
"Still, I'm concerned about him, Ejiro. I was Midoriya's only friend in junior high school so it's natural that I'm worried about him, especially after that fight with Mr. Explosion over there." Connor answered.
"Were you really his only friend in junior high school?" Iida asked.
Connor sighed and turned to the other students. "I probably shouldn't say anything, but what the hell. Truth is that Midoriya was considered quirkless from his days in preschool. His quirk only emerged recently when he turned fourteen because it's so powerful. Think about it, if he got his quirk when he was four, he wouldn't be able to control it."
"Seriously? He was bullied because his quirk didn't emerge until he was old enough. Does that explain why Bakugo has it out for him?" Toru asked.
"I only know what I saw in junior high, as for his history with Bakugo, that's not my place to say." Connor said worriedly, turning to Bakugo who just looked away from the Red Ranger. "When it comes to quirks, I don't care how flashy they are or what type a person has. It's the personality of the wielder that makes me see what kind of person they are. Besides, I know what it's liked to be bullied."
The rest of Class 1-A remained silent as Connor jogged down the entrance way towards the nurses office. It didn't take him long to reach the nurses office and was about to enter when he heard the voice of the school nurse, Recovery Girl, and someone else. "Come on, All Might. I know you passed your powers on to this boy, but you can't spoil him." came the elderly voice of Recovery Girl from the other side of the door.
"I am trying not to play favorites. I wanted to consider his feelings though. He needed to see he was capable of winning the exercise. Oh yeah, will you please not talk so loudly 'bout One for All when anyone around could hear?" Came the unknown voice. Connor knew right away that it wasn't All Might who was inside with Izuku and for a moment, he considered the possibility it was a demon, but deep down, he felt like he heard the voice before.
Taking a deep breath, he knocked on the nurse's office door and waited for a response. "Yes?" Came Recovery Girl's voice.
"It's Connor Grayson from Class 1-A. I'm here to check on Izuku Midoriya." Connor announced.
"He's still…" Recovery Girl began but then paused for a few seconds then spoke. "Very well, you can come in."
Sliding the door open, Connor was met with the sight of both the elderly school nurse and a skeletal man wearing All Might's costume. "Uh, is All Might here? I thought he was checking on Izuku." Connor asked.
"I can assure you young man, All Might is here." The skeletal man answered. "I'm Toshinori Yagi…" steam then billowed out of the man's body before the muscular form of All Might appeared. "But you know me better as All Might." He then deflated as quickly as he inflated and coughed up blood. "Damn it."
"You're All Might? I don't understand. What just happened?" Connor asked again, more confused than he already was.
"I can assure you; I am All Might, but this is what I look like." Toshinori answered, lifting up his costume and revealed a massive scar on his body. "And this is the reason why. Six years ago, I fought a very dangerous villain. I lost my entire stomach, and my respiratory system is damaged beyond repair. Despite all the treatments I received, nothing could fix it. Now I can only maintain my muscle form for three hours a day and that time is slowly decreasing every day."
"You mean, Toxic Chainsaw did this to you?" Connor asked.
"No. It was… someone else." Toshinori answered. "Only a few people know about the fight, Dave included, and that's another matter I want to discuss. My quirk wasn't gifted to me when I was born, it was transferred to me by my Master. The name of my Quirk is One For All. It's a quirk that's passed down from wielder to wielder with each one enhancing before passing it on to one they deem worthy."
"So, Izuku's quirk is this One For All? And no one knows about it, other then a few people?" Connor asked, putting hand to his chin.
"Yes. Recovery Girl, Dave, Principle Nezu and a close friend know about this. And now you know about it." Toshinori answered. "But please, you can't tell anyone, not even Melissa. If people knew about the nature of my Quirk, then villains would be targeting the wielder to try and take the quirk. The temptation of this power could corrupt our society and I don't even want to imagine what would happen if it fell into the hands of the demons. I probably have no right in asking you, but please, keep this a secret."
"What are you kidding? You think I'd betray your trust?" Connor said. "Whether you're All Might or Toshinori doesn't matter to me. You saved my life seven years ago and restored my faith in pro heroes. It's because of you that I'm the person I am today. You inspired me to become a hero even if I don't have a quirk and hearing that your time as a hero is coming to an end doesn't change that. I've waited years to see you again and now, I can finally and properly say thank you for saving my life."
All Might sat in silence as Connor continued to speak. "Giving your quirk to Izuku, you've given him hope and allowed his dream to be a reality. But that's also now made him a target. Like you said, if the demons learn about your power and that Izuku has it, he'll be in danger. The reason we came to UA was to keep the quirks of the students from falling into Olympius's hands, quirks in the hands of demons is not a scenario anyone wants to imagine and I, like you see, that Izuku has a great deal of potential as a hero."
"What are you saying, young man?" All Might asked.
"What I'm saying, is that I'll not only keep your secret, but help Izuku learn to control his power. I give you my word All Might, I won't breathe a word about this to anyone, not even the other rangers. But there will come a time when you will have to tell them about your condition. Melissa, she has a right to know about this." Connor answered. "Besides, if that means I can fight alongside the man who saved my life, for however long you got left as a hero, then I'd consider it a great honor and something that I'll treasure for the rest of my life."
All Might sat silently while Recovery Girl listened to the words of the red ranger. Hearing those words, All Might couldn't help but smile. "Thank you, young man." He spoke.
Hours later, night had fallen, but in a deep corner of a forested area, a purple magic circle appeared on the ground and glowed with evil as emerging from the circle was a dark knight with purple armor, black visor, and wolf heads on his shoulders, holding a massive shield which held his sword. "After all these years, I have finally returned."
Bet you can all guess who the enemy who has returned is. If you don't like him, let me say that I like him because of his character and personality.
Speaking of enemies, we got three that the original rangers faced, Elgar, the dimwit nephew of a certain space pirate, Ecliptor and Darkonda, Deviot, Furio and Treacheron who fought the Galaxy Rangers, three enemies that fought the Overdrive Rangers, and the five Machine Empire soldiers from Forever Red.
But Villamax and Loyax refuse to fight for Olympius because of their honor and Diabolico is going to help them. When will they meet the rangers?
Speaking of rangers, Alpha 6 is at U.A and Connor knows about All Might's condition and promised to keep the truth a secret. I figured the Red Ranger should be the first to know about All Might's condition before the rest of the rangers.
Please read and review and I'll see you all next time. Oh, and before I forget to mention, like I have in previous chapters of other stories, I am really liking Law and Order and I wished I watched it with my Grandma.
