"This place is more natural than our Command Center."
"I like it." Tsuyu beamed. "Reminds me of the parks we used to go to."
"Seems like the great place to make some manly and womanly heroes!" Kirishima grinned.
The Hero Rangers marvelled and dropped to a knee when they met Zordon and Alpha.
"Welcome…Hero Rangers?" Zordon asked.
"We're still workshopping the name." Himiko said. "Also, anyone ever tell you look like Bryan Cranston?"
"Yes. Several times." The aged mentor smirked in spite of it all. "Forgive me if this is forward but please tell me, what is the me of your time like?"
"We…we only have TV show episodes for reference." Izuku admitted, then prepping himself for a spiel. "You see, where we come from, humanity has evolved to the point only 10% of the world doesn't have a superpower."
"So, Graydon Creed is an idiot who'll never be successful?" Billy asked, then spying the news. "What? I pay attention to the news."
"Oh the friends of Humanity and groups like them are JOKES in our day and age." Kirishima smirked.
"And yet you and other supheroes are still needed? Typical humans." Alpha retorted, ignoring the glares he got.
"Wow, your Alpha is way snarkier than ours." Mina noted with a frown on her face.
"Well, I pity him if he had to deal with you! Honestly! Superpowers on top of…!?"
"Quirks." Izuku corrected. "We call them quirks."
"... sounds kinda...funny." Billy chimed in.
"It was either that or Meta Ability, but there's two terrorist groups whop use that term..." Shoto added. "Anyways, as Izuku was saying, despite that, we Rangers kept going…until we became outlawed when we refused to reveal ourselves or share ALL of our Zords and or gear."
This got everyone's attention.
"A few teams did; Lightspeed Rescue, Time Force…But yeah, most of us where hunted and eventually had to hang up the morphers."
"So, you're…?' Peter started, getting nods.
"Yeah, they've been following in your examples, Spider-Man; hunted and hated but still doing the right thing." Kirishima noted, fighting the urge to fanboy.
"Our parents were the last active team." Tsuyu added. "They took on the Machine and Mavros empires, demons, Orgs and even Zed himself…all before they started college."
"Although, they missed a few of the Mavros royal family…" Himiko grimaced, getting a hug from Tsuyu and Mina did the same to a downtrodden Izuku.
This got everyone's attention, and Alita stepped up.
"…Who was it?" She asked, already dreading the answer when Himiko and Izuku both nodded.
"Our dad."
"Twice for me." Himiko then added.
The Hero rangers soon shared the sadness, recalling their memories with Uncle Hisashi and his heroic sacrifice to buy them time.
"He was the greatest of all Rangers…our Tommy, you could say." Kirishima said, making shoiti
Peter came closer and wordlessly offered condolences. The two siblings accepted the hug and the trio's respective girlfriend watched sadly as Kirishima and Shoto stood tall.
"To answer your question, Lord Zordon…" Shoto continued…
"Just Zordon, Shoto."
"We grew up watching you as a kind, patient and loving mentor who often taught the rangers and us watching lesson while they fought monsters."
Zordon felt some shame hearing that, remembering what he'd planned for the Rangers. Alpha did as well.
"And then, in In Space you gave your life to redeem or destroy all evil in the galaxy in order to save the Rangers." Shoto finished.
That? Zordon could see himself doing without a second thought. A smile crossed his face.
"Sorry, but I gotta ask, what happened to the guy with Jets on his legs?" Alita asked. "Sorry, but as a fellow kind of cyborg I liked him…even if he was kind of strict."
The others cringed
"Well, partly because of us being hunted…and a few Evil rangers…" Izuku began, but he was cut off.
"Wait…EVIL Rangers?!" Zordon and Alpha asked.
"Um…yes..H-have you not dealt with the Pyscho Rangers yet?'
"First time we're hearing this!" Kimberly noted.
"Lemme guess; either evil copies or Rangers corrupted by power and went to the baddies?" Trini guessed.
"And in the case of the Quantum Ranger, blatant racism and classim" Mina and Tsuyu grumbled together.
"…Anyways!" Himiko continued. "We got a lot firmer on those rules. Only use power to defend is an iron clad rule. And Ida…"
"His brother was wrongfully attacked by the Hero-Killer Stain and Ida went after him in revenge." Shoto explained. "He was stripped of his access to the Great Power, his morphed and our ranks."
"Yeesh." Zack grimaced, as did everyone else. "But…I mean…I see where you're going from but…"
"Oh, he and Ochacko are now Kamen Riders!" Mina smiled, although she then cringed when she saw Izuku wince. She hurriedly hugged and cooed. "Oh, no! Izu, Izu-baby, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean….!"
Izuku smiled sadly and nuzzled his nose with Mina's.
Kimberly coughed and motioned the others to speak so as to move on from…whatever that was about.
"So to clarify, y'all from the future…" Zack began.
"A different verse, actually." Kirishima corrected him.
"Where Power Rangers are OUTLAWS…." Jason followed. "just because they, lets be hoinest, rightfully didn't trust most with their tech…"
"It's the Solvokia accords and what Mr. Stark deals with all over again…" Peter mused.
"And your dad was basically me." Tommy said, to which Izuku and Himiko nodded. "WHAT IS IT WITH THE MULTI-VERSE AND ME BEING A GUY?!"
(AN: ABSOLUTELY NO DISRESPECT AT ALL TO JASON! This was just for comedy's sake! ANY FLAMERS OR ACCUSERS OF ME HATING ON HIM WILL BE BLOCKED!)
"So, why're you guys here?" Jason asked.
"To help prevent something big." Kirishima said, pulling out a hologram displayer, from which came the image of a tall man with white hair in a suit. For some reason, even this image filled everyone with dread.
"We know him as All for One. The symbol of Evil. At least 400 years old in our time. Born with the power to take away and give Quirks and the brain that supervillains dream of. Body count in hundreds before he was 10." Izuku started.
"He undid all of the X-Men's work in a single night by killing the Glowing Child, who for the sake or summary, letys just say was the perfect blend of Professor X and Magneto…and he did all that just because the GC was more well known than him." Tsuyu frowned.
"His first act after that was wiping out SHIELD, Mi6, MIB, the FBI, CIA…ANYONE who could've held information on him." Himiko added.
"Without them, society regressed, and he took over Japan, then helping others like him across the world." Kirishima. "Until the Hero Movement started, after which he destroyed the good rep of the Rangers, who were the only ones left to stop him."
"And he's here?!" Billy guessed.
"Not yet." Tsuyu said. "But, according to our research and some friends of ours, he was probably born this year…around this week."
"…Mr. Stark, you…?"
"I heard every word and already sent it to anyone who can help." Tony said, then smirked. "Mogona! Please! Let daddy…Oh, you're so lucky you're cute!"
Everyone chuckled at the sounds of Tony trying and failing to keep his newborn daughter under c ontrol.
"Then why don't we just…find this kid and then…?" Zack said before he made a strangl8ing notion, which shocked everyone.
"...Okay, first of all, THAT'S HORRIBLE!" Alita started.
"Well, the way the others were describing him, this guy sounds like Hitler, Saddam Hussein AND whoever passed the Velma show combined….but worse!" Billy noted.
"SECOND of all, some good DOES come from him...!"
"Even if you're hunted and hated?" Jason asked.
"Hey, we probably wouldn't know each other without Rangers." Himiko beamed, taking her team into a hug.
Peter smiled at that, and Trini, catching on, followed in suit.
"Also...were not sure who but..." Shoto said, trying to level this news. "Quoting our Alpha here…'There's a 99.99999999% chance one of us is DEFINTLY related to him.'"
Zack now felt bad for suggested what he'd suggested
"Hey, you didn;'t know! No problem!" Izuku tried to assure him.
"Dude, anyone ever tell you you're too nice?" Zack said.
"Hey! We happen to LIKE him being nice!" Himiko, Mina, Tsuyu, Kirishima and Shoto said before an alarm suddenly rang.
"Someone's been listening in!" Alpha realized. "Someone…with hand and feet imprints?"
The universal response was an understandable:
"WHAT?! But how could anyone find out?!"
"...Um, underroos?" Tony suddenly said. "I...may have fired someone...who had enough skill to hack into the suit and leak your conversation with the future kids..."
...
...
...
...
"Man, the memes were right; everything really IS Tony's fault." Kirishima said aloud.
"...There are memes about me?"
"Oh yeah."
"Waaaaay to many."
"Most are actually positive and encouraging!" Izuku added.
"But...yeah, you did yourself dirty with the Avengers Civil War, Ultron..." Shoto followed before Izuku eblowed him to be quiet.
"Alpha, contact all of our allies!" Zordon commanded. "If this 'All for One' is as bad as the Hero Rangers say….!"
"Already on it…Oh dear, seems Sonic is indispo…AAAH!"
Tsuyu was suddenly in the robot's face.
"Sonic. As in…Sonic the Hedgehog. As in…'FASTEST THING ALIVE AND ONE OF THE PARAGONS OF MUTANT HEROES?!"
"She's a huge fanboy of him, the TMNT, Extereme Dinosaurs…" himiko began to count, but then she abandoned that when she saw that Tsuyu went into a corner and pouted over not meeting her idiol.
"The turtles are down to help." Zack announced after getting a text from Alita.
Tsuyu's depressed mood changed and she leapt back up, elated.
"LEONDARDO?! DONTELLO? MICHEALANGELO AND RAPHAEL?!"
Alita smirked.
"Oh, this'll be fun…"
SMPR
"Intriguing." Zed mused. "...A future 'King' of villains, eh? Not yet born, but from what these children say... He could make a potential heir or warrior!"
"You want me to...?" Mysterio started, only to be met with cackles
"YOU!? You barely managed to escape the last time you faced these Rangers! Besides, the hero Rangers know of you! No, no...I need to send someone who'll get this done...Someone who succeds or dies..."
He then recalled a certain minion.
"Rito, how would you like to avenge your sister?"
SMPR
"Find this child." Two grandmasters ordered in separate locations.
The first was Karai Saki, leader of the Foot ninja clan after her father was abducted by the alien warlord Kraang. She handed each of her Ninjas a vial of Mutagen to use if needed, then looked at her top member; a British girl named Kat.
The second was Madame Gao, now hooked up to a respirator and horribly disfigured, but still clinging to life.
SMPR
"You heard, I take it?"
"Yes, I did. Eric, I know..."
"Charles, I know we've had and still do have our disagreements, but for this? I am at your children's beck and call. if what these children say is true."
To be continued…
SO SORRY FOR THE DELAY AND THAT THERE ISN'T MUCH HERE!
So, on top of our heroes, the Foot, the Hand, the X-Men, Magneto and it appears Rito are all gunning for the unborn All for One.
Also, setting up for Kat to make her first appearance in the story, so that Tommy isn't alone (and soon, neither will Billy). Thought about doing Rocky, Aishia and Adam as well…may still do so.
For fans of Sonic, the events of the movie 'Sonic 2' are happening during this arc, so we won't see too much of him…thinking of at least having the gang help out during the final battle, depending on this this arc goes.
Next time: The Search begins! The Rangers learn of the…mixed future ahead of them, a plot outline for Rangers Academia and some good old bonding!
