Lightspeed Rescue
Fairy Tail Universe/Tower of Heaven- Night
Midoriya slowly began to awaken as his lost sight returned back to him. His body still hurts like hell, but he ignores the pain as he is thinking about the dream he just had.
"What was that just now?" Midoriya whispered out loud as he was still confused about meeting two of One For All past users.
"Midoriya!" Erza shouted in both surprise and joy as she looked down at him. "Midoriya, your alright?! I thought you wouldn't wake up!" She said with tears running down the corner eye.
Ultear who saw this from the distance just sighed in her own relief to see the green-haired boy wake up.
"I'm sorry for making you worry about me, but where are the others?" Midoriya said before slowly sitting up from the ground.
"Their still out there fighting against that demon lady." Erza said in a worried tone, as Midoriya started to pick up sounds of fighting from where they were. "Ren's fighting her all on his own and the others are down."
This made Midoriya's eyes widen in shock from hearing this and knowing he had to do something to help his friends. He quickly stood up to immediately fall back on one knee in pain.
"Damnmit! My body still hasn't recovered enough from her Curse's effect!" Midoriya thought as he gritted his teeth in pain as he couldn't move yet. "Guess I'll try this." He placed his left hand on his chest before saying something. "Finishio." Midoriya said as his left hand glowed green to slowly heal his body.
"What are you doing?!" Erza asked in confusion as she was witnessing Midoriya healing himself.
"Just need to recover a bit before jumping back in there," Midoriya said with a brave smile to the red-haired girl, before looking at the battle below with a serious expression. "Just hang in there guys, until I'm ready." He whispered to himself as he wanted to get some serious payback on that demon bitch.

Back to the battle between the Etherious and the Hero Force Rangers leader, as they continue their dance to see who would come out on top.
"Legacy Gun!" Ren shouted while firing at Kyôka, who immediately deflected the gunshots with ease.
"Meaningless." Kyôka stated before charging toward the ranger in a burst of speed, only for Ren to continue to fire his gun at the demon as it did nothing to her. "Time to see what real power feels like!" She swung her left claw at him.
Seeing this attack coming, Ren moved out of the way in time by spinning to the right as Kyôka swung her right claw in the direction the ranger was in only for him to block the strike with his Legacy Saber. But Kyôka kicks him in the stomach which makes Ren roll on the ground with him quickly recovering from the blow in time to avoid a powerful punch that destroys the floor. Ren throws a quick right kick at the demon, only for her to block it. Then Kyôka elbow jabs him in the chest and pushes Ren's back a bit as the Etherious extends her claws at the boy to wrap him up before throwing him into a stone pillar that breaks upon impact, making Ren cry out in pain.
Ren got up from the floor in pain as he wasn't done yet, right before barrel rolling a the ground to dodge a strike from the Etherious then turned around to slash his blade at her, which she blocked in time. But Ren continued to swing more sword strikes at Kyôka while moving around her to find an opening, as Kyôka only deflected each of Ren's attacks without trouble, right before stopping the sword attacks by holding him in a stalemate.
"Now it's just you and me, human," Kyôka said before laughing a little maniacally. "You're all alone. So, are you ready to cry yet?" She mocked him.
"Not… gonna… happen!" Ren said as he backed off and tried to strike again.
But Kyôka uses her claws to stop Ren before spinning her body around to backhand his blade. Then she kicks him in the chest, knocking him back to the ground a few feet away from her.
"Ren!" Momo yelled out in great concern as she and the others were still down from Kyôka Curse's effect.
"We have to do some? Our leader is out there fighting that chick alone." Awase said as all they could do was watch.
"It's still too painful to move right now," Kendo said as her body was still hurting.
"Plus we need to see if Midoriya is alright." Tokoyami added to the list of problems.
"Pathetic." Kyôka states while watching the boy struggle to get back up on his feet. "I see there is no point in continuing this fight. Just learn your place human and fall into despair."
"I won't give up against you," Ren said to her despite feeling the pain from this battle, he rushed forward at her.
Ren strikes the demon from every direction with his sword, moving around to avoid Kyôka counterattacks before rolling forward on the floor behind Kyôka to hit her backside, she stops the attack by turning his way with Ren continuing his assault. After a few seconds of slashing both Ren and Kyôka backed off of each other a bit, still in combat stances while staring intently at one another.
Ren began to back away a little before running off with Kyôka following right behind the human to see him hopping onto a working platform, gaining higher ground as they continued their battle.
"You won't win human!" Kyôka shouts while forcing Ren back on the ground with a strong punch. "Accept it and take what's coming to you." She lunges forward as Ren is able to block several of her attacks.
"Accept you winning? Never!" Ren retorts before blocking another strike from her that makes him fly back meters on his feet.
Kyôka's signature growl grows louder with frustration. She doesn't just want to defeat this human, she wants to break him and force him to accept defeat.
Ren ran at her before jumping over Kyôka, then slashed her across the shoulders before dropping to the floor to roll back on his feet.
Kyôka howled in pain and swung an arm at the human, knocking him off again, but Ren rebounded and fought back. Kyôka summons her green whip from her finger claw towards the Ranger, but Ren is able to hit the green whip away with his sword each time she strikes him. Getting frustrated by Ranger's resistance, the Etherious swings her arm to send a powerful shockwave at him, only for Ren to sideway jump high into the air to avoid the shockwave. Ren rolled on the floor to quickly recover back on his feet, right before rushing at the demon again and pulling out his Legacy Gun, then opened fire on her as he didn't want to give Kyôka a second to think.
Kyôka was starting to get annoyed by this, then stopped a few of his sword attacks and smacked Ren back before releasing a powerful shockwave that hit him dead on. The shockwave sends Ren crashing down on his back in pain, with his sword still at his side. Kyôka suddenly approaches him once more and prepares for a final blow with her right claw. Ren quickly grabs his sword to stop the claws from reaching him and puts all of his strength into holding the Etherious back.
"No strength left..." Kyôka taunted while Ren held on for dear life as Kyôka tried to bring her claws down on him. "No one to save you. So cry. Cry and beg as I destroy you. And then your friends." She said having the human at her mercy.
As Ren was struggling to hold back Kyôka, the other Rangers managed to recover enough to send them back on there as they witnessed the Etherious helplessly pinning their leader on the ground.
"Damn that woman!" Kendo said out loud while glaring at the demon. "She's going to kill him!"
"We have to help him!" Momo said in a fearful voice.
They wanted to help, but the four of them were still too hurt to reach Ren in time to save him.
"Cry for me! Do it! Beg for mercy!" Kyôka said wanting to break him completely, but to her surprise, Ren looked straight at her with nothing other than determination in his eyes.
"Take a good look, bitch! You see any tears?!" Ren said as he gathered what little strength he had without his Ranger suit, knocking Kyôka's hand away beside him before acrobatically spinning himself off the ground while landing a clean hit on the demon's stomach at the same time.
"Argh!" Kyôka screamed out in pain while talking a few steps back from the hero, as blood flowed out from her deep wound.
Ren then used the momentum from the spinning jump to turn towards the demon, while Ren's right fist was glowing light green harnessing the Spirit of the Elephant's power before slamming fist hard into Kyôka's gut not only knocking the wind out of her, but also fly a few feet back into the air with a powerful shockwave effect.
Despite the hard gut blow, Kyôka flipped her body in mid-air to recover from the attack and landed on her knees, while holding onto her stomach injury.
[End Music]
"Alright! He did It!" Tokoyami, Awase, Kendo, Momo, and Erza said with a happy tone.
"Is that all you got?" Ren said in a very exhausted voice while trying to catch his breath.
Kyôka glared at him healthy before speaking. "Not even close human. But I'll personally show you what I can really do when I'm angry." Her tone was cooler than usual as she had lost her patience with this human.
"Then how about I show you what happens when you make me angry!" A familiar male voice made everyone there turn their attention to it, which surprised them.
That person was Midoriya, who was shooting Kyôka dangerous glare, unlike anything they'd ever seen in the boy before.
"Midoriya!" Kendo and Momo both shouted in joy to see that he was okay.
"Good, he's alright." Holo-Tommy thought in relief knowing his student was okay.
"Dude, you okay!" Awase said happily.
"Yes, it's good to see you up," Tokoyami said with a smile.
Back in the distance, Erza and Ultear continue to watch the battle from a safe hiding spot.
"He's back in the fight!" Erza said with a smile to see he was back in action.
"Hopefully, he doesn't pass out again." Ultear thought as she didn't care about what happened to Midoriya or the other Rangers, just as long as they beat this demon for good.
"Impossible…" Kyôka was flabbergasted with Midoriya's recover.
"Midoriya..." Ren said softly to his friend, as he still had many questions about that black thing that came out of his arm. "Just what in the world happened to back there with that black stuff coming out your arm?"
"I know you all have questions about that unknown power just I used, and I'll tell you later when we get out of here." Midoriya said without batting an eye, as his gaze didn't leave Kyôka at all. "But right now... let me be the one to take her for a bit. There's something I want to try out." He asked as this surprised his teammates, Holo-Tommy, Kyôka, Ultear, and Erza, with them not expecting that from the green-haired teen.
Ren could see the look in Midoriya's eyes and could tell he was serious about this, and said something before anyone could protest about his request.
"Are you sure about this Midoriya?" Ren asked his friend.
"Yeah." Midoriya said with a light nod without taking his eyes off Kyôka.
"Okay, then... We'll leave it to you for now." Ren said jumping over to his other teammates, as they were surprised that their leader agreed to Midoriya's request.
"Thank you," Midoriya said as he did a dramatic ranger jump at the demon and landed a few meters away in front of her.
"Ren, are you sure it's a good idea to have Midoriya fight that monster on his own?" Kendo said a in worried voice while looking at her friend facing off against that demon alone.
"Yeah, from out of all of us he took a worse beating." Awase agreed with his classmate.
"To be honest I'm not sure myself, but..." Ren said placing his hands on himself and Awase. "He looks serious about this, so let's trust his judgment. Finishio." He cast the healing spell on himself and his friend. "In the meantime, I can heal everyone up as Midoriya buys us time."
"That's a risky plan, but it's our only opinion at the moment," Momo said not seeing any other way around this situation.
"You fought valiantly, Ren. I wish we could've lent you our aid in battle while we were down. I felt I owed it to be there fighting that demon alone." Tokoyami said with a grin.
"Done worry about it," Ren said to him as he continued the healing of himself and his teammates.
"So… you're really gonna fight me alone?" Kyôka nervously asked while quivering with how he was looking at her, even though she knew the answer, she knew that would happen.
Midoriya however, didn't say anything in response, but looking at her with that fierce hero's glance. Not only Kyôka, but everyone can see and feel how furious he was standing in front of her. His school uniform was badly damaged with his right sleeve mostly gone because of the Blackwhip's quirk going out of control earlier.
Midoriya just takes a breath before saying something. "You know... throughout my entire life, I've always been everyone's punching bag. Pushed around and made fun of for something I couldn't control. Even my former best friend turned his back on me for such a stupid reason to prove his superiority over others." His tone was calm, but yet there was a small hint of anger in it. "Just like him, you've been doing something to me, and so many times before I fought hard to keep my dream alive, even if I was alone in the darkness. This time I will fight not twice as hard, but a hundred times harder to shine a light through your darkness!" He actives One for All at 15% before reaching backward, to everyone's shock as he clutches the Legacy Cellular and Pirate Legacy Silver Key.
[Insert Music: Persona 5 OST: Will Power]
"It's Morphin Time!" Midoriya shouted while activating his Morpher with a flash of light changing him back into the Silver Pirate Legacy Ranger before getting in a fighting stance.
"This can't be-" Kyôka was cut off by a fist to the left jaw with Midoriya rocketing at her to sucker punch the demon at burst of speed that surprise everyone watching.
The demon fell backward with a gagging pain from Midoriya's insidious assault. The pain in Midoriya's arm raged like a million thunder strikes, as he was still feeling the effects of Kyôka's Curse. It was like his arm shattered like glass, yet the Ranger held on and endured the pain.
"Even if you take my sight… even if you take my hearing, or even me feeling anything, I will not waver!" Midoriya shouted out passionately to the demon. "You call this pain?! I've been through worse! For 11 years, my life has been nothing but pain!" Once more, he began to think of all of the friends he made up till now. "I finally have people who support me, and I will not give up on them! I will show the greatest strength is overcoming pain! And I will not stop until I make you feel despair from the path you chose!" He declared out loud for everyone to hear.
Kyôka recovered from the blow and looked back with astonishment at this little human's resolve.
Holo-Tommy looked over at his student and grinned proudly at him. "That's the Midoriya I know. Someone who's too stubborn to stay down. Just like a true Power Ranger." He thought.
"He's back." Kendo said falling in love with him all over, as she smiled.
"She screwed now," Ren said with a mad grin.
"Yeah! Go get her Midoriya!" Erza cheered him on.
Kyôka was losing patience while whipping the blood from her jaw. "This can't be real?! I've robbed him of every sense he had, and yet he was about to recover them and still keep fighting despite the pain my Curse has done to him?!" She thought glaring harshly at the Ranger.
"What's the matter Kyôka? You scared that you're going to lose to a weak little human?" Midoriya taunted her in a mocking tone. "Even with your full power, you demons are nothing to me, not as I am now." He smirked behind his helmet.
That incises Kyôka more, as she loses her cool and snaps in full-blow rage.
"A mere human is saying he's better than us Etherious's?! You forgot your place' you worm!" Kyôka shouted in anger as her body glowed green for a moment. "I'll educate you, by using all of my power to shatter you into pieces until your will is broken!" She declared before rushing at him quickly, preparing her claws to strike the Ranger down.
"Sorry, but that's not possible!" Midoriya stated before sidestepping her claw with ease, then counterattacks the demon with a kick to her stomach that pushed her back right where she was standing. "My will is unbreakable to shatter!"
That counterattack not only surprised Kyôka but knocked the wind out of her lungs while coughing up blood and saliva from the heavy blow. Before she could do anything, Midoriya appeared in front of the of the Etherious without warning. Kyôka in response threw a right punch at the human, only for him to swat it away before Midoriya grabbed the Etherious by her neck and pulled her in for a crushing headbutt that broke Kyôka's helmet again, She felt the pain and was stunned by it.
"Onch!" Momo said out loud from seeing the headbutt.
"Indianapolis Smash!" Midoriya cried out as he began to unleash a fury of super fast focused punches on the helpless Nine Demon Gate. Everyone watched as Midoriya whaled on the demon woman mercilessly without rest or hesitation.
"Whoa..." Ultear muttered in awe from seeing the beat down.
"Yeah, that's the way!" Awase cheered with his fist in the air.
"This can't be happening! My Etherious form should have tipped the scales in my favor!" Kyôka thought in surprise as she was getting beaten mercilessly by Midoriya, feeling every blow at full force. "But this human is somehow growing stronger as we fight!"
"Detroit Smash!" Midoriya shouted to deliver the final blow to her face, which sent Kyôka flying back again into a wall, which shattered as the woman crashed into it.
"Nice!" Dark Shadow said as he was enjoying this beatdown on the demon.
"Indeed," Tokoyami said with a proud nod and smile.
Kyôka arose again, her eyes nearly devoid of pupils at the Silver Ranger who calmly stood there and glared at her in silence.
"I'll destroy all of you, worthless humans!" Kyôka screamed out, as she had it and unleashed more of her Curse power.
"Not good. She completely lost it." Holo-Tommy thought as he saw Kyôka was overcome by frustration.
Whatever she was supposed to do was in the norm. With the Power Ranges defying her win, she was losing. It was like a switch turned on and the demon had lost all her control. Kyôka rushes forward and ferociously slashes at Midoriya with her sharp claws, but the Silver Ranger uses his speed and reflexes to dodge all of her strikes.
"You pathetic stupid human!" Kyôka bellowed while still attacking the hero. "Do you honestly believe that you lowly humans can stand a chance against a demon of the Book of Zeref and leave?! You Rangers are nothing to us demons! We're better than all of you! I will teach you your place!" She roared out, consistently slashing at Midoriya at the same angles from both her claws.
Midoriya was avoiding each of Kyôka's slashes at him with his focus mixed out, all while trying to find an opening he could exploit. Then he remembered what Daigoro said about his quirk Blackwhip, before he decided to try something new, so he immediately quickly leaped back to get some distance from her.
"You won't escape me, human!" Kyôka screamed out, as she charged at him again for more slashes.
Midoriya quickly held up his right arm in front of the demon charging at him as time began to slow down around him, all while focusing on that same feeling he had earlier when he used Blackwhip's.
"So if you ever use my power again, you gotta keep your emotions in check kid without running the risk of losing control like you did earlier on your teammates," Midoriya remembered the words Daigoro said to him about his power.
"Focus... Don't let the quirk control you..." Midoriya thought to himself, as Kyôka was getting closer to the Ranger. "You have to be the one in control of the quirk!" The black mist started to come out of his right arm.
When Kyôka was close enough to the human she raised her hand to strike at him again, then out of nowhere Midoriya used his new power to suddenly unleash multiple Blackwhips that wrapped around Kyôka's body to stop the demon's assault on him and holding her in place. Then greatly surprised everyone as they didn't expect that from him at all.
"That power again?" Ultear thought to herself with her eyes narrowed at the Silver Ranger.
Midoriya gripped the Blackwhips tightly while holding the demon woman in place as he was focusing everything he had to not lose control like before.
"It's that power again!" Momo said with widened eyes.
"Yeah, but it looks like he's in control of it this time." Ren pointed out.
"Your right. It's more focused than wild than when he first used it." Holo-Tommy said as he watched in interest.
"This is..." Kyôka said in surprise as she didn't get the chance to finish her sentence with Midoriya proceeding to pull the demon forward to himself for a flip kick hard down on Kyôka's back, slamming the demon's face into the ground.
The Silver Ranger then follows up with a body blow kick to the stomach as he releases the Blackwhips holding the demon, with Kyôka rolling on the ground from the hit. Midoriya gets behind her and unleashes another powerful kick to the demon's head, with Kyôkai rolling on the floor again before standing straight up. Then Midoriya rockets right in front of her to unleash a super fast whirlwind kick to Kyôka's face.
"Kansas Smash!" Midoriya shouted while roundhouse kicking the demon in her face, The blow broke her nose and a few other parts of her face while sending the Etherious flying in the air, making her body spin around and around wildly before she flew back and impacted the wall of the cavern. "Now that feels better..." He said to release a heavy breath of stress and anger while stopping One for All around his body.
[End Music]
Erza and Ultear's saws dropped again at the display of power and skill that the green-haired ranger unleashed the demonic woman and tossed her around like she was a ragdoll. The Ranger was impressed by their friend kicking that demon's ass after what she put him through earlier.
But before anyone could say anything, a large explosion in the direction Kyôkai flew which made everyone look over to see her standing back up on her feet.
"POWER RANGERS!" Kyôkai roared angrily as she was covered in injuries and broken bones from head to toe, while she was physically and mentally exhausted from her battle against these humans. "WHY DO YOU KEEP FIGHTING?! WHY CAN'T YOU ALL JUST ACCEPT YOUR FATE AND DIE?!" She roared angrily as she was sick of these humans. If it wasn't for her Etherious form and Curse enhancing boosting her body's durability, then she would have passed out or dead right now.
Midoriya couldn't help back laugh out loud before saying. "Hahaha, did that hurt Kyôka?! Because that's what justice feels like!" The Silver Ranger pointed at the demon woman. "It's not so fun now when you're the one on the receiving end." He was clearly enjoying mocking the demon woman.
"You lowly little human trash," Kyôkai muttered with her anger boiling to a new level at the human taunting her.
"Nice job, Midoriya." A voice said making Kyôka and Midoriya turn their head to see Ren, Tokoyami, Awase, Kendo, and Momo, who was back in their Pirate Legacy Ranger forms with Ren healing up their injuries while running up next to their friend. "You gave us enough time to heal up and now we're ready to finish her off," Momo said to him.
"I figure you guys might of need a little rest before beating her." Midoriya said with a nod as he was happy to see his friends alright.
"Well, we did enjoy watching that beat down you lead out on her," Awase said while hitting his shoulder.
"We were worried for you a bit, but I'm glad you're alright," Kendo said to him.
"Now let's finish this demon for good." Tokoyami said with confined.
"You think you can beat me?" Kyôka stated in disbelief before bursting into a fit of crazed laughter at the very notion. "It might be the blood loss talking or the beating you gave me but I'd like to see you Rangers just try it!" She roared while releasing her power to the max, as she was ready to end this fight.
"Let's go," Ren said to his team with everyone nodding back to him in return, as they followed his lead. "Hey Kyôka, you're not ready for this! You're so not ready for this!" He said in an exciting tone as it got her attention with the Pirate Legacy Rangers forming up. "I say it twice because these next Rangers we're about to change into specialize in destroying demons!" The Red Ranger stated as he and his teammates pressed the buttons on their own belt buckles to each summon the Lightspeed Rescue Ranger Keys, while pulling out their Morphers.
"Rangers that specialize in destroying demons?!" Kyôka, Erza, and Ultear all thought together in both surprise and confusion about the next form they were going to take.
[Insert Music: Kyukyu Sentai GoGoFive- Opening Theme]
"Legendary Ranger Mode: Lightspeed Rescue!" They all shouted together while holding up their Lightspeed Rescue Ranger Keys before flicking them open, except for the Silver Ranger. "Lightspeed Rescue!/Titanium Power!" They then insert the keys into their Morphers to activate the transformation.
Then six colorful sheets appeared in front of the Pirate Legacy Rangers before they grabbed them and flipped the sheets behind their backs, as it began to change their outfit appearances with the Ranger's helmets changing last to complete the transformation.
Now the Rangers begin their roll call to the Ranger team that they were representing.
"Red Lightspeed Ranger, Rescue Ready!" Ren shouted while saluting before getting into his pose.
"Blue Lightspeed Ranger, Rescue Ready!" Awase shouted while saluting before getting into his pose.
"Green Lightspeed Ranger, Rescue Ready!" Tokoyami shouted while saluting before getting into his pose.
"Yellow Lightspeed Ranger, Rescue Ready!" Kendo shouted while saluting before getting into her pose.
"Pink Lightspeed Ranger, Rescue Ready!" Momo shouted while saluting before getting into her pose.
"Titanium Ranger, Rescue Ready!" Midoriya shouted while saluting before getting into his pose.
"People's lives are Earth's future!" Ren shouted while holding up his right hand before moving it in front of himself, then clenching his hand into a fist.
"Blazing Rescue Spirits!" Midoriya shouted while moving his right hand to the side before clenching his hand into a fist as well.
Then the Rangers clapped their feet perfectly together before saluting again.
"Power Rangers..." The six Rangers shouted together in sync, as they saluted proudly before Ren, Kendo, and Momo crouched down on their legs, pointing forward with their right hands like finger guns while Midoriya, Awase, and Tokoyami remained standing with their right hands pointing forward like finger guns too. "Lightspeed Rescue!" The Hero Force Rangers shouted as a giant explosion occurred behind them with the Lightspeed Rescue logo appearing as well.
This leaves everyone witnessing this stunned in surprised by the roll call.
"Lightspeed Rescue?" Erza said looking at the new Ranger forms in awe, as she was still blown away from their roll call.
"This team can kill demons?" Ultear said being a little skeptical about these forms, but decided to observe seeing the Rangers have been doing the impossible this entire fight.
The Etherious gritted her teeth with bloodshot eyes as if she had enough of these stupid humans. "Enough of you're childish nonsense!" Kyôka snapped in rage as she raised both her arms up. "No matter what you change into, it will never defeat me!" She moved her arms down to create an even more powerful shockwave attack that traveled toward the Rangers.
The shockwave hits its mark as the Hero Force Rangers are caught in the explosion, leaving nothing but smoke and flames. Everyone thought the Rangers were dead until they jumped through the fire without some much as a scratch on them and ran towards Kyôka with their V-Lancers and Midoriya's Titanium Laser in hand.
"Just die already!" Kyôka shouted while extending her left finger claws at the incoming Power Rangers.
"Titanium Laser: Battle Axe Mode!" Midoriya shouted switching his blaster into a battle axe, all while at the same time activating One for All at 15%, before moving in front of his teammates at lightning speed to chop off all of the Kyôka's left claw fingers in an instant.
"ARGHHH!" Kyôka screamed out in absolute pain with her remaining claws retracing back to her hand, leaving enough time for the Rangers to exploit.
Ren, Awase, and Tokoyami quickly ran passed Kyôka, slashing her with their V-Lancers, right before Kendo and Momo got in front of the Etherious and struck at the demon woman multiple times with their V-Lancers. They stroke one final time with a cross slash that made Kyôka back off inches from them.
Before Kyôka could do anything, the Red Lightspeed Ranger roundhouse kicks the demon from behind in the left rib pushes her at the Blue Lightspeed Ranger, who punches Kyôka's face, forcing the demon to turn her body around to see the Green Lightspeed Ranger and Dark Shadow punching her in the face and gut as well, making Kyôka's body spiral around while taking a couple steps back in a stunned state, with the Etherious seeing the Titanium Ranger jumping over the Pink and Yellow Lightspeed Rangers, while doing a somersault with his axe back into a blaster.
"Titanium Laser: Blaster Mode!" Midoriya shouted while firing lasers at the demon in mid-air.
Kyôka was struck multiple times by laser fire with sparks flying off her body, while she screamed in even more pain. Normally, she could have avoided an attack like this, but the Etherious were too badly hurt and tried this battle to dodge properly, and their teamwork and quarantined attacks overwhelmed her.
"Washington Smash!" Midoriya shouted, extending his right leg out while coming straight down at a stunned Kyôka with a flying drop kick.
When the Ranger's foot made contact with Kyôka's chest, it sent another powerful jolt of pain throughout her body, also making her fly back in the air before landing hard on the ground.
"Damnmit..." Kyôka grumbled in agony, as she was slowly getting back to her feet, before seeing Ren, Awase, and Tokoyami holding up both Momo and Kendo in the air with the girl's arms forward.
"Brothership Smash!" They shouted together before throwing Momo and Kendo towards Kyôka, with the two female Rangers rapidly spinning their bodies around to build up momentum and power.
Kyôka crossed their arms together to stop the incoming attack, but unfortunately, it didn't work as they immediately broke through the Etherious's defenses and slammed their fists into her body to do even more damage, with Kyôka falling straight back again into a wall while screaming in agony over the pain.
"How is this possible?" Kyôka thought bouncing off the cavern wall in pain. "No matter how much I try, they refuse to go down." She regained balance and panted, as she saw the Rangers regroup together and glared directly at her. "Why aren't they cowering in fear?" She kept asking herself this, as the demon of Tartaros had never encountered humans like the Power Rangers before.
And truth be told, these humans were actually scaring the Kyôka to her very core.
"Alright you guys, it's time to end this!" Ren declared out loud to his teammates, before holding up his left arm close to his face. "Rescue Bird!" He shouted into his morpher to call for some more extra firepower, as his visor pulled up information on the Rescue Bird to show the Ranger before the device activated.
Then suddenly, a portal opens up above the cavern sky with the Rescue Bird shoots out of the portal to fly towards the Lightspeed Rescue Rangers before closing up, which surprised the inhabitants of this world yet again.
"Separate!" Ren shouted an order to the weapon.
Then the Rescue Bird separated into its five pieces, with each Ranger catching one, minus Midoriya. Ren caught the Rescue Claw, Awase the Rescue Laser, Tokoyami the Rescue Cutter, Kendo the Rescue Drill, and Momo the Rescue Injector.
"Unilaser Formation, now!" Ren ordered while putting his Rescue Blaster's handle onto the cutter, as the other Rangers combined their weapons together to form the Unilaser Mode.
"Let's do this!" Ren shouted while holding up the Unilaser with both of his hands, before aiming it at Kyôka, with Momo and Awase touching his hip and shoulders, as Tokoyami touched Awase's, and Kendo touched Momo's, hip and shoulders to hold Ren in place.
The Etherious eyes widened in pure horror, as great fear began to wash over her with the demon's body trembling at the sight of that weapon aimed at her.
"No! Stay away!" Kyôka hollered back in fear, as she tried to run away.
"No, you don't!" Midoriya appeared a few feet next to the demon in a split second and used his Blackwhips to wrap around Kyôka's arms and legs to hold her in place. "You're not going to run away from this! It's time to face your crimes, villain!" He said to the demon while using One for All to strengthen the Blackwhip's hold on her to prevent her from escaping.
"Let me go! Release me at one you filthy human!" Kyôka was cursing Midoriya out to free her, but not out of anger isn't it one of terror.
"Ready!" Kendo and Momo shouted together.
"Aim!" Tokoyami, Awase, and Dark Shadow shouted together.
Then drill on the Unilaser began spinning around to charge up power.
"Fire!" Ren and Midoriya shouted together before the Red Ranger pulled the trigger.
The Rescue Bird Unilaser immediately sent out a powerful laser beam and hit Kyôka dead on, which caused an explosion and made the demon scream out in pain again, with Midoriya releasing the hold on her as he was fortunate enough to not be in the blast radius of the explosion, before regrouping back to his friends.
As the smoke began to clear away, they saw Kyôka struggling to stand back up and was now on her knees, as red electricity was generating around her body.
"NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NOOOOOOOOOOO! This can't be happening to me! How could I lose to such pathetic creatures!" Kyôka thought as she could feel her life reaching the end with the demon woman's whole body now shutting down, but not until shooting the Lightspeed Rescue Rangers one last dirty look. "Damn you! This isn't over humans! Once my fellow demons learn about this, your days are numbered Power Rangers! UUUUURRRGH!" She cried out in her final breath before exploding in a giant flaming inferno that sent shockwaves throughout the entire cavern.
[End Music]
As the flames died down there was nothing left of the torture demon, but a pile of ash and flames making everyone in the room clear one thing.
That the Nine Demons Gate Kyôka is dead and the Power Rangers have won.
"H-How...? T-That's... not... possible..." Ultear whispers in great shock at what she just witnessed.
They actually did it! The Power Rangers killed one of the Nine Demon Gates of Tartaros! Something that no Wizard has ever accomplished, until today that is!
"I need to inform Master Hades about this as soon as possible. Because these Power Rangers might be an even bigger threat than I originally thought." Ultear thought to herself as she needed her master to know about these heroes and what they were capable of.
"Amazing..." Erza gasped in amazement over the insane battle she just witnessed and was glad that the Rangers had won. "The Power Rangers are so amazing."
With the battle over, the Rangers changed back into their pirate forms before breaking into cheers of celebration over their victory.
"Now that was showy!" Ren said while crossing his arms over their handy work.
"Boo-yah, bitches! Hero Force Rangers-1! Demons of Tartaros-0!" Awase said in a mocking tone.
"Vulgar language aside, boo-yah indeed," Momo said trying to join in as she was smiling.
"Hell yeah, son!" Dark Shadow said coming out of his partner to celebrate as well.
"Yes, it was a fantastic victory over such a formidable opponent," Tokoyami said calming as he was happy over the win.
"Well done everyone. I'm pretty sure that the real Lightspeed Rescue Rangers would be proud of you." Holo-Tommy said to them as he was both happy and proud of his students, for defeating that evil woman.
"Thanks, Tommy! I'm just glad everyone is alright!" Midoriya shouted out happily before he was assaulted by a hug from Kendo. "K-Kendo?!"
"You big idiot! Do you have any idea how worried sick I was about you, after what that demon did to you?!" Kendo scolded him crying a bit behind her visor. "I thought you died!"
Midoriya felt like something struck him in the heart over the girl's words and immediately held her back in his own hug.
"I'm sorry I had you worried like Kendo, but I promise I'll never make you feel that way again." Midoriya said as he embraced her gently while rubbing Kendo's body.
"You better keep your promise or else I'll never forgive you," Kendo said back in his chest as she felt comfort being held in his arms.
"I know." Midoriya said with a small smile before releasing her.
The other Rangers watched this touching moment and smiled at the sight before Holo-Tommy said something.
"I hate to interpret the beautiful moment between you two, but I need to speak to the elephant in the room," Holo-Tommy said getting their attention on him. "Midoriya, do you mind explaining to us what that whole blackwhip thing was about?" He asked making everyone else curious about that new power their friend used.
All eyes were now on Midoriya, as he awkwardly stood there in silence not knowing how to explain this to everyone.
"L-L-Look guy, I know y-you have multiple questions a-a-about my new quirk and I'll t-tell you everything when we're d-d-done here in this world." Midoriya nervousness said with a chuckle as this was not the best time to go over his dream about meeting the previous wielders of One for All.
The others looked at him for a moment before agreeing with his request. Whatever questions they may have can wait until later after everything is said and done in this world once their mission is over.
"Alright, we can wait for an explanation about Midoriya's new abilities later," Holo-Tommy said making the green-haired boy sigh in relief. "But right now, you all need to get moving. Jirou and Yui are probably still fighting against that other demon Kyôka meant, and might need some help." His statement made all of their eyes widen as they completely forgot about the other Etherious.
"Oh, crap! I completely forgot about that!" Midoriya shouted in a panic tone.
"I don't blame you for forgetting. We were fighting for our own lives as well." Tokoyami said to him, as he had forgotten about the other two.
"And any case, we need to get back to others quickly and see if they're okay." Momo suggested to the group.
"But first, let's go find Erza and Jellal before we leave." Kendo reminded them about the two kids.
Before they could do anything else, someone called them out first.
"Everyone!" Erza yelled out towards them, with the Rangers turning in her direction as they saw her carrying a still unconscious Jellal and a mysterious purple-haired girl that had never seen before, walking over to them. "That was the most incredible fight I've ever seen in my life! You all were so cool and amazing!" She was still extremely excited over their victory against the demon.
This made the team of heroes chuckle lightly at the girl's excitement and was a pretty normal reaction for them.
"Well, we're glad you enjoyed the show Erza." Ren said to her before he drifted over to Ultear. "So, Erza who is this?" He asked the girl.
Erza looked over at Ultear, who had her turned in the other direction. "I don't really know myself, but I found her in the torture chamber. Maybe she's someone else those cultists tortured too." She said to them.
"I remember seeing her when I regained consciousness," Midoriya said when he remembered seeing the little girl while he was healing himself.
"I see." Ren said still looking at the Ultear. "Hey, kid."
"Yes." Ultear said as her gaze was focused on Ren now.
"We're getting out of this together. So come with us and will take you to safety." Ren said to her before looking at his team. "We wasted enough time here as is. We have to find Jirou, Yui, and the other slaves to see if they're okay."
"Right!" Everyone said before running out of the room to where their other friends are right now.
Ultear just stayed quiet and decided to follow the Rangers. Normally, Ultear would have killed all of them on the spot for seeing her but after seeing the heroes defeating a member of Tartaros, the time girl decided to play it safe for now and not make an enemy out of them.
"If I play my cards right, then these heroes can give me a ticket off this stupid island." Ultear thought as she was going to play along with the Ranger's request for now until they got back to the mainland.
[Insert Music: Persona 1 OST: A Loner Prayer]
The two Rangers and Seilah had already been battling for only a few minutes, and so far neither side has given the other an edge in the heat of battle. Seilah continued to use her Macro Curse over and over again on the two Rangers to no luck, as each and everything time Yui and Jirou would break free from its effects, much to Seilah's annoyance.
Yui and Jirou was face to face with the barrage of book Seilah had summoned out of nowhere. Book upon book, they just kept coming, some of which managed to make their marks, but the two Rangers weren't letting up in the slightest, as they were deflecting the books out of the way with Jirou punching, kicking, jabbing and Yui swinging her Tricera Drill and Dino Charge Morpher into them.
Both Rangers charge forward in the barrage of books, narrowly dodging the flurry of projectiles with Yui in front using her Tricera Drill to drill through the book barrage at Seilah, who quickly summons a wall of books in front of herself to stop the drill attack as the weapon made physical contact, but Yui's Tricera Drill glow pink with energy to increase it's power that broke through her defenses. Soon Jirou comes running up to leap at a woman with a haymaker to the demon's stomach making Seilah gash in pain and slide back.
Seilah quickly recovered from the blow to stop herself from sliding back and raised her hand to summon even more books at the Rangers they managed to block a few of them before getting hit by some books that did some damage, but not enough to stop them from continuing to fight.
"I order you both to stop right now!" Seilah demanded.
Are two Rangers were suddenly stricken with some unknown force like before, but ignored the command and continued their charge. Seeing this made Seilah grit her teeth in frustration before summoning more books at them at high speed. But Rangers quickly jumped above the books to avoid the attack, while Jirou front flipped landing in front of Seilah to deliver a roundhouse kick, which Seilah dodged by leaning back slightly before the Ranger successfully threw a punch straight into the demon's gut and then barrel rolls forward on the floor to avoid Seilah's punch to the face, as Yui immediately came in front of the demon and leaps into the air to unleash a fury of quick kicks to Seilah's face.
"Hey! Look over here!" Jirou announced while quickly jumping back into action to deliver a flying kick at Seilah from behind.
But Seilah immediately moved out of the way to evade the kick, making Jirou fly passed her but failed to notice Yui running right back at her, much to her surprise yet again.
"Fooled you'll!" Yui shouted while jumping back at the woman for a kick, which Seilah blocked with both arms, making the Ranger backflip on the ground before quickly blasting Seilah in point-blank range with her Dino Charge Morpher.
"Arghhh!" Seilah cried out in pain from the laser blasts.
But both Hero Force Rangers weren't done yet, Jirou quickly ran at Yui from behind as said quiet girl bent over to the side for Jirou to spiral roll over her friend back to elbow jab the demon in the chest to stun Seilah for a second, then Yui ran up next to Jirou for both girls to double punch Seilah in the face that creates a shockwave that sends soaring back in pain.
Seilah fell forward to her knees, wincing in a mix of pain and annoyance at the two humans who managed to damage her this badly.
Both sides stopped fighting for a brief moment to catch their breaths, as the two human girls and demons were breathing heavily from both exhaustion and damage while also glaring at one another.
"How... you holding... up, Yui?" Jirou asked in a tired voice.
"I can... do this... all day..." Yui said back just as tired as her partner.
"What are you two?! Explain yourself?! How can two lowly humans resist my Macro power?!" Seilah demanded in an annoyed tone before standing back up.
"Macro?" Yui and Jirou both said in confusion.
"That is the name of my Curse's power," Seilah informed calmly. "I still don't understand how it's not working on you two anymore. My Macro Curse powers are quite unique. I can control anyone or anything's actions how I see fit. It's a tale that plays out by my rules, and you all will do as I please." She finished explaining how her power works.
"So that's how you were about to control those corpses!" Jirou shouted at her.
"And control our bodies," Yui said in a hateful tone.
"One may look at it that way, but I prefer to think that it was a fate raptured by context." Seilah said in a proud tone.
"What does that mean?" Yui asked.
Seilah's gaze grew menacingly dull. "Words are powerful, but depending on what you say can lead to conflict. One may mean one thing, but say another; and vice versa. That's the flaw in you humans. You lack the communication necessary to play out your own stories. This is the tale that has no plot and no meaning, whereas a demon's tale has meaning, and strife is not of chaos." She said to them.
"I don't know what she's saying… but either way, we're going to defeat you and leave this island with everyone." Jirou declared to her.
Seilah gazes coldly at the two humans. "Your companions' fate is already sealed. Right now it's all but inconsequential. Far more importantly, no human should possess powers such as your two…" For a moment, she looked thoughtful. She nodded, seeming to have reached a decision. "Your existence is a danger to Tartaros and Master E.N.D. You Power Rangers must be dealt with… permanently." She spoke coldly, as her eyes gleamed dangerously.
"You can try..." Jirou said, taking a battle stance.
"But you'll fail..." Yui said taking her battle stance.
"Because we're not backing down!" The two heroes declared to the demoness.
Seilah snorted softly at this before summoning more books and shooting a barrage of them at the two Rangers again.
Yui and Jirou stood next to each other as the hell storm books were coming their way and looked at each other.
"Let's go!" Jirou said to her teammate.
"MM!" Yui agreed while pulling out her Dino Saber and then jumped up at Jirou for her to catch the girl.
Jirou then started to swing Yui across her body, as the quiet girl deflected every single book with her Dino Saber, and Jirou held her friend by the legs while spinning her around to build up a monument before throwing Yui straight at Seilah at breakneck speed. Yui pointed her sword forward while flying directly at Seilah, who immediately evaded the assault by ducking out of the way. Meanwhile, Yui flew passed the demon lady, right before she spun her body in mid-air to flip herself over to the opposite side to land her feet on a nearby ship side and use it to leap back at Seilah at high speed.
"What is going on-?!" Before Seilah could do anything, she was late to notice that one of Jirou's Earphone Jacks stoke Seilah in the arm before she felt a sound-based attack resistance throughout her body that temporarily immobilizes her movements and screams out in pain from the loud sounds, all while Jirou was rushing at her from behind the moment she threw Yui at her.
The two female Rangers were quickly coming at the demon from both sides to simultaneously hit Seilah at the same time, with Jirou punching her in the left abdomen and Yui kicking her in the back of the neck. The impact of both blows was intensity devastating to where a ripple exerted outwards upon impact. The sounds of bones breaking were drowned out by the sounds of Seilah screaming in agony as she gagged from the wind being knocked out of her system and slammed face-first into the ground, Her eyes widened unconsciously as the Rangers combo attack worked.
[End Music]
"They did it!" Milliana, Sho, and Wally shouted out in joy, followed by the other slaves who cheered for the Ranger's victory.
"It's finally over," Simon said with a sigh. "Now I can finally see Kagura."
"Well done Power Rangers," Rob said quietly with a nod, as he had a tiny smile on his face.
"Everyone!" A voice called out everyone turning to see Erza carrying an unconscious Jellal on her back and Ultear who was a few feet behind her, walking up to the group which made everyone smile happily to see their friends.
"Erza!" Her friends and everyone shouted in joy before Wally, Sho, Milliana, Sho, and Simon ran up to the red-haired girl, and gave her a hug with Rob's smile in the background knowing she was okay.
"Thank you Rangers for keeping your promise." Rob thought.
"Er-chan! You're all ready!" Milliana said crying tears of joy while hugging her tightly.
"And you found Jellal!" Wally added in.
"We were worried sick about you!" Simon said with tears in his eyes.
"I'm sorry for making you worry everyone. But everything worked out and I've got Jellal back." Erza said shifting her body for the others to see their unconscious friend.
"But what happened to him and why is he sleeping?" Sho asked in concern.
"Let's just say we ran into a little trouble on our way to rescue him." Erza said quietly as she didn't know how to explain everything that happened to her and the Rangers. "But it's thanks to the Power Rangers that I've managed to get back here in one piece and save Jellal."
"Yeah, there so cool and strong!" Milliana said out loud with a cat-like smile. "They just beat this really scary lady with a horn just now!"
This made Erza and Ultear as they looked at the docks to see a woman dressed in a blue robe and horns on the ground unconscious, with Jirou and Yui down there, as they looked at the aftermath of the battle with the area beyond damage.
"So that's the other demon that woman was talking about?" Erza thought as she was happy that Jirou and Yui were able to protect everyone from that demon. "It's a good thing the other Rangers were with them or else I feared the worst might happen to everyone."
"No way?! They beat another one of the Nine Demon Gates?!" Ultear thought in shock again as another one of Tartaros's members and with just two Rangers.
"So, Erza... who she'd?" Simon said pointing at Ultear. "I don't remember seeing her with the rest of the kids."
"Maybe she's someone that was just brought on the island," Milliana said to her friends.
"I-I don't really know her name, since she didn't tell me," Erza said looking over at the short purple-haired girl. "But I'm glad to know that they didn't hurt her either." She said with a smile.
"Whatever..." Ultear rudely said before looking the other way as she fought the urge to pinched the bridge of her nose, She was already fed up with today's events as they were and did not wish to prolong this day any longer.
"Hey, you don't have to be so rude!" Wally said walking up to her in a fit of rage.
"Wally stop!" Erza shouted in an authoritative tone that stopped her friend from doing something stupid. "She just scared that's all. We found her in the torture room I was in and probably went through the same thing I and Jellal. So don't blame her for not trusting us." She said making Ultear roll her eyes from the ridiculous reasoning.
"Fine, Erza..." Wally said while turning his head away with a scoff.
"Well it least that you and Jellal are safe now, and that's what really matters." Sho said which made everyone smile, as Ultear just wanted to throw up from all of this happy friendship stuff.
"…I'm going to fucking kill everyone here when this is over," Ultear muttered darkly as she walked away from the group, not wanting to be a part of it. "At least those Rangers are going to be a good ride off this dump of an island." She said she wanted to return back to the mainland as soon as possible.
Back on the battlefield, the two girls fell back on their butts as they were exhausted from the long hard fight.
"Man, I'm bet." Jirou said in a very tired tone. "That demon chick was seriously tough."
"Mm." Yui didn't say anything but agreed with her.
"Yui, Jirou!" Midoriya called out as they looked back to see their friends running towards them. "You're alright!" He exclaimed happily.
"Guys!" Jirou said as the others stopped in front of them before helping the two girls up from the ground. "Not that I'm complaining or anything, but what took you so long?" She asked her friends.
"Sorry, but we kinda ran into some trouble on our rescue mission," Kendo said to them.
"We would have been sooner, trust us. But we had to fight against some demon chick who wanted to kidnap everyone on the island to join their guild." Awase said giving a quick explanation that surprised the two girls.
"You fought against a demon?! Wait, there was another demon on the island?!" Jirou asked in surprise and confusion.
"Indeed. We were surprised to learn that you had your adversary to face." Tokoyami said with a nod.
"But it looks like you didn't need our help to bet her," Momo said looking at the unconscious Seilah, who was lying on the ground, and all the destruction that was left after their battle.
"It wasn't an easy fight, that's for sure," Jirou said rubbing her right shoulder. "She really had to make us work for that win."
"Mm." Yui said with a nod as she was glad everything was over with.
"And any case, since there's no more enemies for us to face. Let's call D.E.C.A. to bring th-" Ren then suddenly stopped speaking, as his entire body froze up. The Hero Force Rangers leader looked down, his mind bewildered by his body's state of paralysis.
"Hey Ren, you okay?" Midoriya asked as his eyes suddenly went wide, a gag expelling when he felt an ominous force overpower him, rendering him stiff.
"Midoriya!" Kendo was next to worry, her too succumbing to the paralyzing force.
It wasn't just her, then Tokoyami, following up with Momo, and lastly Awase. Then each of the Pirate Legacy Ranger's hands began to open, slowly reaching for their own neck.
"What? My… body…" Ren strained, his own throat having trouble breathing as his hands reached his neck, slowly grabbing and choking him. The pain and oxygen deprivation began, and Ren strained to get control back, but to no avail.
"Why am I doing this…" Awase was gaging as he was choking himself, as though possession laid eyes on everyone else; no one was safe as they all were choking themselves, their necks hurting from their own palms with Yui and Jirou witnessing this in shock.
"My body… it won't listen to me!" Tokoyami murmured while choking.
"C-Crap!" Kendo shouted in pain.
"What... is even going... on...?" Momo was tearing up, the pain she was feeling making her whimper.
Midoriya raised his head, but the pain didn't subside, it only intensified. "It's... getting really... hard to breathe..." He gagged.
"Guys, just hang on! Well, find a way to fix this!" Holo-Tommy said to his students.
Jirou and Yui opened an eye, the wincing evident as they only knew one person who was capable of this.
"This power…" Jirou gashed in disbelief.
"But we..." Yui said coming to the same conclusion.
"You damn humans…" The voice grunted and belonged to a familiar person.
Everyone turned their bodies or glances towards the culprit of the sound, and went wide-eyed at to see Seilah slowly getting up from the floor. She was dirty and panting heavily, but she looked like she could keep going despite her injuries.
"No way…" Yui murmured in shock.
"Looks like she still has some fight left in her." Jirou exasperated with narrow eyes.
"She's standing back up again!" Erza's friend shouted in fear with the all slaves panicking again.
"No way!" Erza said in disbelief while looking in shock.
"Of course, it wasn't going to be that easy..." Ultear clicked her tongue in frustration to see the demon woman raised again.
"I guess it was too early to celebrate just yet," Rob said in a worried tone.
"You all are nothing but toys that don't interest me in the slightest," Seilah said with her eyes closed. "This is the true power of the Macro Curse." She said reopening her eyes.
"Macro... Curse?" Midoriya was struggling to say.
"This demon's power allows her to control others like they were her own puppets!" Yui explained out loud, as every victim's eyes widened, astonishment rising from the information.
"There's a power like that?" Holo-Tommy said in disbelief.
"The hell?! What kind of OP ability does this lady get?!" Awase complicated in pain.
"This Curse is even worse than Kyôka's!" Ren said while having a hard time breathing.
"You bitch! Stop hurting our friends!" Jirou demanded as she and Yui were about to rush at the demon to stop her from choking their friends to death.
"No, you don't," Seilah said using her Macro Curse to control all the small broken objects in the area and make them fly at both the girls at a fast pace.
Jirou and Yui were hit from all directions by small objects that made them scream out in pain and fall down on the ground in pain with steam coming off of their suit.
"Jirou... Yui..." Tokoyami said in concern while still choking.
Seilah weakly grinned in delight. "It seems this is the moment your stories come to their tragic end. And as soon as you Rangers are out of the way, I'll be sure to deliver all the slaves back to Tartaros." She said as her victory was within her reach.
"Ren! Everyone!" Erza yells out in concern. While she wanted to help them, the red-haired knew she would only get in the way and had no choice but to watch her new friends get hurt by this demon.
"Come on, Rangers!" Simon said cheering them on.
"What the hell are they doing?" Ultear questions while watching everything unfold. "Is this her Curse's power?"
Both the Pink and Wolf Rangers attempt to get back on their feet, but find themselves too injured and weakened to get back up.
"This is bad…" Yui said in pain while trying to stand.
"We have to... get up…" Jirou said as she attempted to push herself back up only to fall back down.
"I'm... tipping... out..." Midoriya said losing consciousness from the lack of air.
"Don't... give... up... guys..." Ren encouraged his teammates. "We'll... find... a... way... around... this..." As he was reaching his limit.
Everyone was struggling. Either they would succumb to asphyxiation first or their necks breaking. They were running out of time, they were unable to move and were beginning to black out from air loss.
"Everyone force all of your Ranger powers into your body!" Holo-Tommy shouted at his students, which surprised Seilah with she looked around to see where the voice came from. "It's the other way to break her control!"
"Who said that?" Seilah asked in confusion.
"You heard Tommy guys. Let's do it!" Ren said to everyone who agreed with Holo-Tommy, as they started to channel all the power in their bodies. Then the Pirate Legacy Ranger's bodies started to glow in their respective colors.
Seilah looked at this in disbelief as she'd seen this before with the other two Rangers. "No... They're not trying to..." Before she could finish her sentence, a shattering sound was heard that made the Pirate Legacy Rangers break her Macro Curse's power over them.
And at that instant, the six Rangers felt their bodies loosen up again and removed their hands from they're necks.
Momo's hold was let go before saying. "My body! I have control over it again!" She and the others breathed to regain their strength.
"I can move again too!" Midoriya cheered.
"Oh, thank goodness!" Awase said in relief.
"Nice! It worked!" Holo-Tommy said in happiness.
"They're ok!" Erza happily said with the other slaves cheering as well.
"No way! They broke my Macro hold too!" Seilah said in disbelief while looking shocked.
"Dark Shadow!" Tokoyami shouted as he regained enough energy to send his quirk flying at Seilah from his chest, socking her in her midsection and throwing her for a loop.
Dark Shadow followed through with a punch to the face, sending Seilah screaming into a rocky pillar. The rocky pillar broke apart and left the demon in a state of pain with a cloud of dust covering her body.
"HAHA! Take that you bitch!" Dark Shadow laughs in victory before returning back to Tokoyami's body.
"Alright! They got her!" Wally exclaimed.
"Yeah!" Milliana and Sho both cheered in joy.
The dust cleared, revealing Seilah on her backside and pressed against the broken rocks. She gritted her teeth with an eye closed.
"Curse you…" Seilah growled in pain.
Jirou and Yui were finally about to get back up and rushed on over to their comrades.
"Everyone, are you okay?" Yui exasperated.
"We're good, but man that's one nasty power she's got." Ren said while regaining his breath.
"No shit. We had the same problem as when we were fighting her until we broke out of her control." Jirou said with frustration
"Well now, you all have nothing to worry about as long as you focus enough of your power to break her Curse," Holo-Tommy said with confidence.
"Right." The eight Rangers said to the A.I.
Seilah adjusted herself back on her feet, glaring daggers at the heroes. "I don't understand." She said getting the Ranger's attention. "How are you all able to defy my Curse Power? Is this some kind of a joke to you?" She demanded to know.
"The real joke is that you think your power can affect our Ranger powers!" Awase said pointing at her.
"That's right! You can't beat a Ranger!" Kendo said as well.
Seilah's eyes widened slowly. "Your… Ranger powers?" The demon didn't want to believe it, but there was no other explanation. The revelation left her speechless. "You mean… those outfits they're wearing can defy my powers? That's why my Macro won't work on you anymore!" Her gaze began to grow distraught once more.
"We don't really know ourselves, but that seems to be the case." Midoriya said to her. "Anyway, surrounded now Seilah, or else we have no choice but to take you out like Kyôka." He said as he didn't like the idea of destroying her but would do it if necessary.
This got the demon's full attention on what he said.
"What do mean by that human?! What did you do to Mistress Kyôka?!" Seilah was now heated in rage.
"We destroyed her," Ren said bluntly making the demon's eyes widen in shock.
"No... That's not possible... Not to her..." Seilah said while taking a step back in disbelief as she looked like someone who had seen a ghost. Then she used her power to sense Kyôka's Curse energy, but couldn't feel it anymore.
Which means these humans actually managed to destroy her beloved Kyôka!
"It's true. And we'll do the same thing to you if you don't leave those people alone right now." Momo said warning her, hoping it would work.
"The smart choice is for you to quit now," Tokoyami said to her.
[Insert Music: Persona 5 OST: Desire]
Seilah patience was wearing thin. In fact, she was downright fuming inside. She's had it with humans continuing to foil her story, a demonic story. She and the other demons were always superior, and yet here were humans, these Power Rangers surmounting her glory. Not only that but they destroyed her beloved Kyôka. She was just lucky that her guild had the Hell's Core to revive their fallen comrades from death or else her mistress would be gone for good.
The demon closed her agitated eyes, focusing her powers. "My Curse Power won't work on them anymore. Mistress Kyôka, I'm sorry about this. Forgive me…" Seilah flashed open her eyes. ''But I will avenge you!" A small surge of pressure began to swell around the docks, as the ground was shuddering once again, this time by the likes of Seilah exerting force.
"What's going on now?!" Jirou yelled in confusion.
Holo-Tommy scans Seilah, seeing a blue light start from her core. It began to envelop her body, catching the A.I. by surprise. "Her power…" He mutters volumized. "She about to release all of her Curse power!" He told his students.
"What?!" Ren said with widened eyes as he and the others knew what this was. "You mean she's about to transform into her Etherious Form!"
"Etherious Form?!" Yui and Jirou both said in confusion as they didn't have time to ask with Seilah's body surrounded in a bright blue light.
"Release my Limiter!" Seilah was growling and yelling as she was beginning to take shape.
The demon's bright light wasn't blinding, but her looks began to take effect. Her horns had become noticeably larger, and her eyes became a full-on yellow. As her transformation had begun, everyone was staring with disbelief at her Etherious Form on the rise.
"She's… transforming just like Kyôka!" Kendo was exasperated in great concern.
"This is bad." Midoriya warned in a slightly panicked tone.
"Fuck!" Awase cursed out.
"What's happening to her?!" Jirou asked.
"These demons can power themselves up by releasing all of their curse power and transforming back into their true form, called Etherious Form." Momo said giving them a quick explanation.
"Seriously?" Yui said in disbelief.
"Yeah, that Kyôka demon did the same thing to us when we fought her," Ren said to them.
Far away, Erza, Her friends, Ultear, Rob, and the other slaves were rendered startled as they watched Seilah undergo a grotesque change. Their skins when paled at the Etherious Form.
As the glow faded, it revealed a howling Seilah, who not only had larger horns and yellow eyes, but her hair was wider, and her skin was much darker than it was previously. Her torso clothing was ripped off, revealing her bare chest with intricate tattoos that start from the choker at her neck and go all the way down to her hips and stomach. The legs significantly changed to stilts that widened at the hips, where two wing protrusions jutted out and feet became sharp blades.
Seilah screeched out, sending ripples through the airspace above. The shockwaves made everyone cover their ears, leaving them open.
"NOT AGAIN!" Ultear shouted in annoyance and fear.
"She can do that too?!" Erza yelled out.
"She truly has become a beast of nightmares," Tokoyami said in worry while he and the others got into combat stances.
"Everyone get ready for a fig-" Ren didn't have time to finish.
Before anyone knew what happened, Seilah disappeared in a blinding flash, reappearing and punching each of the Rangers in their abdomen. The shock slowed down time, the gap long enough for everyone to bear witness as the Rangers gaped their mouths and gagged as Seilah followed through. Time fell forward as eight Rangers went flying backward in different directions, with the heroes screaming out as they crashed into the ground some ways away, which caused multiple fairly huge tremors from their impact.
"Power Rangers!" Erza, her friends, and all the other slaves shrieked in fear at what they witnessed.
Rob looked at this with shock. "That was so fast that none of us had time to react." The old fairy thought in disbelief.
The dust cleared out, revealing the young heroes sprawled on their backs, wincing from the pain that's been inflicted on them.
"This is bad! She's just as powerful as Kyôka in her Etherious Form!" Holo-Tommy said out loud as he wished he could help them right now.
Seilah landed back on the ground while looking at the team of Rangers with a pissed-off expression on her face.
"I am Seilah, The Goddess of the Chill Moon." Seilah announced herself in a demonic voice, as each of the Rangers struggled to get back up. "And this is where you Power Rangers will meet your true demon tales end." She lets out another roar before charging at the heroes again.
