AN: While Power Rangers Time Force isn't exactly Sentai, but it follows the Timeranger story. Almost. Also I enjoy this one particular episode.
The future that humanity hopes for is where they can live without crime, prejudice, and war. But since the rise of quirks, crime has risen due to individuals using their abilities for their selfish gain. A shadow war between two siblings. And a rise of prejudice against those who are born without powers. This is not a future but rather a dystopia. But that never stopped a certain hero from making that hopeful future into a reality.
TimeRed and his team are blasting and slashing through Zenitts at the UA Sports Festival, orchestrated by the Londerz Family to kill off the UA students to ensure their utopia in the year 3001. The Timerangers fought valiantly against the grunts, but this can't be said for their commander. From the Hell's Gate Prison, where the worst criminals are locked up, lies Jagul and he lays waste against the heroes with his gun. The rangers jumped at any chance to strike him down with their chrono weapons, but he was still standing and swatted them away like flies.
"Don Dolnero will pay me handsomely for killing the Timerangers!" The monster laughed while keeping his gun pointed at the rangers, "Say goodbye, Timerangers!"
"SMASH!" Then All Might punches the monster away along with Izumi Midoriya,
"It's time for you, Timerangers, to see what real heroes can do!" She arrogantly say, but TimeRed tried to stop her,
"Wait, don't! He is much too dangerous!" but he was pushed away by the green haired girl as she and All Might tried to fight him,
"You should've listen to him," Jagul taunted with his trigger finger itching to shoot,
"Silence villain!" All Might yelled, "You and your group have been thwarted many times by lawless vigilantes, now it's time to show you how real heroes handle the job!" He leaps towards the criminals but he got shot in his weak spot that made him fall midair. Deflated to his shamed and skinny form, holding on to his stomach in pain,
"Pathetic, this era of heroes are nothing but weaklings!" Izumi tries to attack him but gets pistol whipped in the face by the monster with ease, "Clearly we picked the right era to rule the future!"
Before the fatal blow was shot, TimeRed quickly jumps in to protect them, taking the hit for them which causes an overload that explodes him. In the aftermath of smoke and dust clearing the area, TimeRed stands up with some signs of struggle but stands proudly against the Hell's Gate prisoner. But at the cost of his helmet damaged, revealing his emerald eyes and freckles that are covered in smudge, revealing his face to All Might and Izumi,
"Izuku?" She said,
"Son?"
Jagul tried to make another shot but got intercepted by the rest of Timeranger and got taken away for him. Izuku tried to joined the fight but get stopped by Izumi,
"Brother, what is the meaning of this? You're a Timeranger!"
"I got nothing to say to you, Izumi…" he sighed, "Look this is way over your head. People are getting hurt just because you and Bakugo can stroke each other's ego," he tried to walk away but All Might grabbed him by the shoulder,
"You will stop this nonsense! It's too dangerous for you!"
Izumi stepped in, "You ran away from home because you can't handle the reality of your weakness!" She tried to come closer, "We are trying to protect you, Izuku!"
He pulled himself away and turned towards them, "Protect me? This is my life, not yours! For the first time in my life, I feel like I am making a difference," he walked away from them,
"Son, please wait. Can't you see that this isn't for you…" All Might tired to tell him,
"No. All my life, I have done everything to get your approval. But I am going to take control of my own life. My own future instead of the one you three made for me." He headed to the others,
"Son," no response, "Come back," still no response, "Don't you dare walk away from me," Izuku is still walking away from him, "Izuku, if you walk away, you'll regret it!" Izuku stopped and looked at them,
"Don't be stupid, Izuku! Can't you see that you're never meant to be a hero!" But Izuku continues to walk away from them.
Meanwhile, the other Timerangers are down and defeated, but soon their red ally came and headed forward towards the enemy, 'I will never regret what I am doing. You may not see it now. But someday, I'll show you how much I can be the hero that we once dreamed." He jumps and uses his swords to weaken the criminal, "Vector End Cross Beat!" With the slash of the blades, Jagul is weakened and stunned which leads the Timerangers to use their combined Voltech Bazooka to finish him off and turn him back into a collectable action figure and return to stasis. Izuku picked him up and handed him to TimeGreen, "Put him into containment with the others." He said before looking at All Might and Izumi one last time before reuniting with his te- no, his family. The two just watched on as Izuku was living his own path that he made for himself.
A day later, Izuku found himself at the beach with the UA principal and All Might standing in front of him. While the others are cleaning up the once beautiful beach, "What do you want?"
"Mr. Midoriya, I would like to wish you to enroll you into the UA Hero Course,"
Izuku's cold depression never changed but before he could answer. All Might spoke, "With your Timeranger technology, this could shape the way for future heroes,"
"No. I don't want to join your school," Izuku stood his ground, "I'm doing this for the people that need a real symbol, not one that rejects the dreams of others,"
Nezu couldn't help but smile. All Might, however, wasn't having it, "Don't be foolish son. You can only be a symbol with the right direction. At UA. With your family,"
Izuku shakes his head in disappointment, "One day I hope you understand. But seeing how this society really is for people like me, I want no part of it." Then he walked away to continue doing his acts of heroism, whether it be big or small. All it matters is working towards a better tomorrow.
AN: I don't enjoy writing these types of stories where Izuku gets a neglectful family. The overused trope of All Might being his father and his sister being the golden child. But I want to match the idea for Timeranger/Time Force. Hopefully this is good enough for you guys and enjoy reading it. Worlds Apart is my favorite episode of my favorite season of Power Rangers.
