Chapter 2: The Sting Of The Menacing Manticore!
Location: Avengers Tower
New York City
"So, you guys have a seventh member now?" said Ben, as he was facing Jason Scott, the Mighty Morphin' Red Ranger.
"Yep. Matthew Cook. He's the new Green Ranger since Ninjor had re-forged the Green Power Coin." said Jason, confirming this. "He also forged Power Coins for Ryu Hoshi, Ken Masters, Chun-li, Cammy White, Sakura Kasugano, and William Guile."
"Looks like we've gotten some Street Fighter Power Rangers." said a voice belonging to Cooper Coen, AKA Web-Weaver. Cooper had red hair and green eyes. Cooper got his powers after being bitten by a genetically-modified yellow garden spider. He lived with his aunt Laurie and her life-partner, Mel, after his homophobic parents kicked him out of their house, since Cooper identified as gay. Cooper created his own superhero costume, and became known as Web-Weaver, one of the Web-Warriors, a group of spider-powered superheroes led by Peter.
"Yeppers." said Tommy, confirming this.
Meanwhile, it shows a man wearing green armor with a mechanical scorpion-tail on it's upper-back. This was MacDonald Gargan, AKA the Scorpion. Mac was a detective who underwent a surgical procedure funded by J. Jonah Jameson to make a superpowered human to defeat Spider-Man. But, that all backfired. Now, Mac is a member of the Sinister Six, a group led by Dr. Octopus.
"Damn those worthless Web-Warriors. The first chance I get, I'm gonna tear them limb-from-limb from head-to-toe!" Scorpion growled, as he downed a glass of draft beer. He then left a tip for the barkeeper and walked off, grumbling.
Meanwhile, it shows a young man of Japanese descent with dark-auburn hair and apple-green eyes who wore a white jacket over a indigo-blue vest and a black shirt, blue-gray street jeans, black fingerless driving gloves, and white sneakers. This was Kazuki Toriyama, Kazuki was a Japanese college student who lived a relatively normal life, until his parents sadly died in a car-wreck on their honeymoon to Hawaii, leaving Kazuki and his siblings in the custody of his aunt, uncle, and grandparents. When a kaiju attack occurred in his hometown of Winter Bluffs, Matt had become the host of Ultraman Nova, a Warrior of Ultra who was a Cosmo Beast Fighter that used the Burning Dragon-God Style. He heard a rumbling going on, and saw an Earth-Gomora causing havoc in New York. He then took out a device, and inserted a card into it.
[Ultra-Rise!]
"Defend the hopes of the people, the power of the spirit!" said Kazuki. "ULTRAMAN NOVA!" He then squeezed the trigger on the device.
[Ultraman Nova: Stellar Charge!]
Kazuki then transformed into a humanoid being with a silver, red, and blue color-scheme, with silver armor on his chest, an Optimus Prime-style face-shield for a mouth, cyan eyes, an octagon-shaped light in the center of his chest, and the emblem of the Cosmo Dragon on both arms. This was Ultraman Nova.
"SHUWATCH!" went Nova, as he did his rise similar to Ultraman Titus, before landing on his feet.
(BGM: "Strength" by Abingdon Boys School plays)
Earth-Gomora roared at Nova, who entered a stance akin to dragon-style Shaolin Kung-Fu, and charged at Earth-Gomora, thrashing and pummelling the kaiju with his bare fists. Nova then summoned a sword weapon. This was the Ultra-Rise Sword. Nova then slashed and sliced Earth-Gomora with the Ultra-Rise Sword, and managed to sever the monster's horns and tail with his weapon. Nova then stabbed the Ultra-Rise Sword into the ground, jumped into the air, and did a flying side kick.
"SHADOWLESS DRAGON GOD KICK!" said Nova, as his attack connected. Earth-Gomora staggered back. Nova then did the same movements as Trigger mixed with Decker before positioning his arms in an "L" shape"
"STARGEND BEAM!" said Nova, as he fired an amethyst-purple colored Ultra-Beam at Earth-Gomora, destroying the kaiju in a single shot. Nova then jumped into the air and flew off.
Elsewhere, we look to see Jason with Billy, Trini, Zach, Kimberly, Tommy and Matthew, as well as Ryu, Chun-li, Ken, Cammy, Guile, and Sakura, until they looked to see Goldar Maximus with Robo-Snizzard and Robo-Minotaur. Goldar was revived as Goldar Maximus, like how Rita Repulsa's evil half was revived as Robo-Rita, and Lord Zedd's evil half was revived as Master Zedd. Goldar, Robo-Snizzard and Robo-Minotaur were accompanied by some Putties.
"Crap. Zedd sent some flunkies to try and antagonize the people of New York!" said Matthew, shocked.
"You know what to do, guys." said Jason.
"Let's Ranger up." said Ken. Jason and Ryu nodded with agreement.
"IT'S MORPHIN' TIME!" Jason and Ryu said in unison.
(BGM: "Go Go Power Rangers!" by Megadeth Plays)
"TRICERATOPS!" said Billy
"PTERODACTYL!" said Kimberly
"MASTODON!" said Zach
"SABRETOOTH TIGER!" said Trini
"TYRANNOSAURUS!" said Jason
"DRAGONZORD!" said Matthew
"TIGERZORD!" said Tommy
"CRIMSON HAWK!" said Ryu
"BLUE PHOENIX!" said Chun-li
"SOARING FALCON!" said Ken
"STINGING CRANE!" said Cammy
"GRACEFUL SWAN!" said Sakura
"GILDED EAGLE!" said Guile
With that, the 14 of them changed into Ranger form, with Jason, Trini, Billy, Kimberly, Zach, Tommy and Matthew having their weapons out.
"Let's do it to it, guys!" said Ken, grinning under his helmet.
"GET 'EM!" said Goldar, as the Putties all charged at the Rangers, who thrashed and bashed them with their weapons and bare fists. Jason slashed and sliced with his Power Sword, while Zach used his Power Axe as a cannon. Kimberly shot arrows with her Power Bow, while Trini sliced at the Putties with her Power Daggers, and Billy used his Power Lance to beat some Putties to a pulp. Tommy used Saba to slash and slice some Putties, while Matthew used the Dragon Dagger to slash at some Putties. Ryu used his martial-arts skills, and fired a Rise-Hadoken at some Putties, while Chun-li used her Hyakuretsukyaku to thrash Robo-Snizzard. Ken and Guile fought against Goldar, while Cammy and Sakura fought against Robo-Minotaur. The group then fought against Robo-Minotaur and Robo-Minotaur, and the core five Mighty Morphin' Rangers combined their weapons into a bazooka weapon.
"Ready!"
"Aim!"
"FIRE!"
"RISE HADOUKEN!" Ken and Ryu said in unison.
"SHINKU HADOKEN!" said Sakura
"KIKOSHO!" said Chun-li
"SONIC TEMPEST!" said Guile. The Street Fighter rangers fired their ki attacks, while the Rangers fired their Power Bazooka, destroying both Robo-Snizzard and Robo-Minotaur, and Tommy managed to scar Goldar's chest.
"I'LL REMEMBER THIS! WATCH YOUR BACKS!" said Goldar, as he shook his fist in retribution before leaving.
Meanwhile, we see Gabriel looking at a photo of him with his wife, Emilie and a five-year-old Adrien, prior to Emilie's passing. Gabriel's Kwami, Nooroo appeared.
"Master, if you continue your crusade, you'll only succeed in endangering the people of both Paris and New York!" said Nooroo. "You'll even put your son's safety at risk!"
"If it's to see her smiling face again…I'll gladly sell my soul to the Devil." said Gabriel. "After all, I basically have nothing left to lose."
(Gabriel, singing)
I'm torn apart,
Each time I see
You standing there,
My beautiful Emilie
But now, I know
What I must be
To bring you back to me!
With that, Gabriel then transformed into his Miraculous Villain alias, Hawk Moth. As Hawk Moth, Gabriel wore a high dark purple dress shirt without a collar, over which he wore a darker purple jacket with a black butterfly-shaped lapel. The Butterfly Miraculous was placed on the center of his chest. He also wore dress pants, in the same shade of the jacket, and black gloves and dress shoes without laces. He also wore a silver/gray cowl over the majority of his face and neck.
"So, this is what a "Miraculous" is capable of." said Lex, sounding like Hades from the Disney film, Hercules.
"Master, this isn't right!" said Nooroo, as he briefly exited the Butterfly Miraculous.
"If chaos is what makes those jewels appear, then Chaos it'll be!" said a voice belonging to Havik, a denizen of Chaosrealm.
"That's not how those powers should be used, and you know it!" said Nooroo, annoyed.
"I believe that's my decision, insect!" said Hawk Moth, as he crammed Nooroo back into the Butterfly Miraculous. "Let me tell you what I'll do!"
(Hawk Moth, singing)
Those two jewels,
Will soon be mine!
And with them,
I'll bring her back to life
"But, it's impossible!" said Nooroo
(Hawk Moth)
I will find, and I will take!
I will bend, and I will break!
Whatever must be broken,
'Til she's woken up!
I'll take the worst,
The bottom-rung
Who'll be the first,
Now that I've begun?
Give me your lost,
Give me your tired
Your outcasts, your uninspired!
"Master, this is not the way!" said Nooroo.
"Silence! Chaos reigns today! SING!" said Hawk Moth
(Crowd)
Hawk Moth! Hawk Moth!
Hawk Moth! Hawk Moth!
Hawk Moth! Hawk Moth!
Hawk Moth! Hawk Moth!
(Hawk Moth)
So watch!
Chaos will reign today!
"The ultimate power is not this!" said Nooroo, as he poked his head out of the Butterfly Miraculous, much to Hawk Moth's annoyance. "The ultimate power is-!"
"ENOUGH!" Hawk Moth snapped, as he jammed Nooroo's head back into the Butterfly Miraculous "I know it must be done!"
(Hawk Moth)
Your deepest dark
Your doubt, your pain
I'll take that spark!
Fan it into flame
Every lost and lonely soul
Let Hawk Moth take control
I'll give purpose to your worthless lives
Not hesitate to throw you aside!
"It doesn't work on me!" said Nooroo, with a scowl.
"Who cares? You still work for me! SING!" said Hawk Moth
(Choir)
Hawk Moth! Hawk Moth!
Hawk Moth! Hawk Moth!
Hawk Moth! Hawk Moth!
Hawk Moth! Hawk Moth!
(Hawk Moth)
So watch!
Chaos will reign today!
With that, Hawk Moth then chuckled darkly, as he then noticed Scorpion looking disgruntled.
"Ah, one of the Sinister Six is fed-up with losing to Spider-Man and the Web-Warriors." said Hawk Moth, with a dark smirk on his face. "This isn't the first time that I've Akumatized a supervillain. But, hey. It worked with Tech-Pirate." With that, he corrupted a white-colored butterfly with dark energy, and sent it on its merry way.
"Fly, my little Akuma, and Evilize him!" said Hawk Moth, as the butterfly flew off.
Later, it showed Scorpion having taken out his rage on some of Tombstone's thugs, until the Akuma fluttered and bonded to Scorpion's tail-stinger. A construct of Hawk Moth's mask appeared.
"Hawk Moth is my name, and Manticore is yours." said Hawk Moth. "You wish to put the Web-Warriors six-feet-under? I wish for Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculouses. Have we got a deal?"
"Sure thing, Hawk Moth." said Scorpion, as a dark aether enveloped his whole body, altering his costume. He now had fake fur, spikes on his tail, horns on his helmet, and wings sprouting from his back.
"The heck kind of supervillain is named Hawk Moth, anyways?" said Peter, as he spoke with Adrien and Luka.
"Hawk Moth is a Miraculous User like me, Nino and the others." said Adrien, as he explained everything. "Only difference is: he uses his powers for evil."
"Hawk Moth uses his powers to turn people with strong negative emotions such as rage, frustration, sorrow, and so on into Akumatized Villains." said Nino, as he explained. "His goal is to get his hands on the Cat Miraculous that Adrien has, and the Ladybug Miraculous that Marinette has."
"I'm aware of what the ultimate power is, if the Miraculouses of Creation and Destruction are used together." said a voice belonging to Stephen Strange, AKA Dr. Strange. Dr. Strange was once a gifted surgeon, until a freak accident left his hands with permanent nerve-damage, cutting his career as a surgeon short, until he learned the mystic arts. "The Kwami of Desire has the power to grant any one wish one desires. However, their wishing power is not without a drawback: The universe must remain in balance, so every wish has a price. Think of it as the Law of Equivalent Exchange from the Fullmetal Alchemist anime and manga franchise."
"And we're gonna make sure Hawk Moth never gets his hands on any of the Miraculouses." said Nino, determined.
Later, it showed Max playing Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak on his Steam Deck, until he looked to see what was happening on the Daily Bugle news-channel.
"This is J. Jonah Jameson reporting!" said JJJ on screen. "Police reports of a somehow transformed MacDonald Gargan, AKA The Scorpion, is causing havoc in Times Square! Citizens are informed to stay indoors until the police are able to handle it!"
"Crap. Sounds like Hawk Moth is at it again." said Max, stunned.
"Me, Adrien, Luka, Alya, and Jackson got this one, Max." said Marinette.
"Gotcha, me and the others will hold down the fort." said Max. "Kick some bad-guy butt, guys!"
(BGM: "Miraculous Transformation Theme" Plays)
"Tikki, Spots On!" said Marinette, as Tikki then flew into her earrings, turning them red with black polkadots. Marinette now wore a red suit with black polka-dots with a matching mask. This was her superhero alias, Ladybug.
"Plagg, Claws Out!" said Adrien, as his Kwami, Plagg flew into his ring, which was the Cat Miraculous. Adrien now wore a mask that turned his eyes green with yellow-green sclera, and wore a black costume. He had cat-ears on the top of his head, and a fake 'tail'. This was his superhero form, Cat Noir.
"Trixx, Let's Pounce!" said Alya, as her Kwami, Trixx, flew into her necklace, which was the Fox Miraculous. Alya's hair then turned longer, and turned three-toned with orange, reddish brown, and vermillion with white tips. Her superhero attire was composed of a jumpsuit akin to an orange swan necked-overcoat with a black part on her neck, white front and black arms and gloves up to the middle of her upper arms. The overcoat layer attaches down the vertical front center with a zipper, and the Fox Miraculous becomes the zipper. The overcoat also has a long fox tail-like coattail that ends a bit below her knees at a sharp white tip. The bottom layer of her suit is orange with a white center on the front of the body and black legs starting at a point in the middle of her upper legs. She also wears black boots with orange soles and black fox paw print markings. Rena Rouge wears an orange mask with a white bottom half and a black mark above each eye that resembles eyebrows. Two orange fox ears with white insides, black tips, and black edges are attached to the top of her head. This was Alya's hero alias, Rena Rouge.
"Sass, Scales Slither!" said Luka, as his Kwami, Sass, flew into his bracelet, which was the Snake Miraculous. He was now clad in a mostly deep green, dark cyan, yellow, brilliant opal, and dark turquoise snake-themed superhero bodysuit, and appears slender and muscular. His suit has a snake-like texture and patterns, complete with fangs on his brilliant opal and turquoise-ish gray mask. His eyes change from cyan to brilliant spring green, and the dyed ends of his hair change to a moderate sea green. Along with this, he seems to wear light pink lipstick. He had a lyre on his back. This was Luka's hero form, Viperion.
"Howwl, Fangs Out!" said Jackson, as his Kwami, Howwl then flew into the Wolf Miraculous, turning the beads from black to gray, as Jackson made a wolf-themed superhero mask appear over his eyes turning his eyes from apple green to golden yellow, and a pair of fake 'wolf ears' appeared on top of his head, with his hair turning from black to gray and white. He was now clad in a gray and white wolf-themed superhero costume, with a fake 'tail', claws on the fingertips of his gloves, and fake fur on the collar, wrists, and ankles of his costume. In his hand was a bow similar to the Mysticon Ranger's bow. This was Jackson's superhero alias, Alpha Wolf.
"Time to kick some butt!" said Cat Noir, with a determined look on his face.
Later, it showed Manticore causing havoc in downtown NYC, mainly Times Square. He was shooting off spines that melted anything that came in contact with them. People were running and screaming in terror.
"RUN NOW, YOU WORTHLESS PLEBS! OR SPEND AN ETERNITY IN THE DEPTHS OF HELL, REGRETTING THE DAY YOU EVER GOT IN MY WAY!" Manticore snarled, with a sadistic smirk on his face.
"Not so fast, jackass!" said Cat Noir, as he arrived with Ladybug, Rena Rouge, Viperion, and Alpha Wolf.
"So, if it isn't Ladybitch and Brat-Noir with their worthless friends!" said Manticore, with a sadistic look on his face.
"EXCUSE YOU!?" said Rena Rouge, shocked and outraged.
"Did you seriously just call me "Ladybitch"!?" said Ladybug, annoyed.
"Watch who you're callin' "Brat Noir", jerkhole!" said Cat Noir, ready to knock Manticore's teeth out.
"We're gonna kick your sorry behind!" said Alpha Wolf, as he notched an arrow made of energy in his longbow.
"Bring it on, you little twerps!" said Manticore.
(BGM: "Dearly Departed" by Loving The Lie Plays)
Alpha Wolf then shot an arrow at Manticore, who blocked with his wings. He then lunged at Ladybug.
"GIMME YOUR MIRACULOUS!" Manticore bellowed, as he lunged at Ladybug, who dodged.
"Lucky Charm!" said Ladybug, as she used her Miraculous Power to generate a shield, protecting her from Manticore's attacks.
"You can't hide behind that shield forever!" said Manticore.
"Mirage!" said Rena Rouge, using her Miraculous Power to create an illusion of the Web-Warriors' corpses.
"Instinct!" said Alpha Wolf, as he used his Miraculous Power. Alpha Wolf's Miraculous Power, Instinct, heightened his eyesight, hearing and sense-of-smell to incredible levels. He then saw some weak-points in the structure, and did a Fastball Special with Cat Noir.
"CATACLYSM!" Cat Noir bellowed, as he focused destructive energy in his ring-hand, and scratched the weakened areas, causing them to fall and pin Manticore down. The dark aether then left Manticore, turning him back into Scorpion as the Akuma then left.
"Time to De-Evilize!" said Ladybug, as she caught the Akuma in her yo-yo, turning it back into a normal white-colored butterfly. "Bye, little butterfly." Ladybug then tossed the Lucky Charm she made into the air. "Miraculous Ladybug!" she exclaimed, as a swarm of magical ladybugs then repaired any and all damage caused by the crisis.
"Pound It!" said Ladybug, Cat Noir, Rena Rouge, Viperion, and Alpha Wolf as they did a five-person knuckle-bump, as the NYC police then arrested Scorpion.
Meanwhile, it showed Danny sitting next to Martin's stepsister, Diana.
"Something on your mind, Danny?" said Diana, concerned.
"Well, I'm recovering from having my heart broken by Paulina Sanchez, before I came here to help you guys out." said Danny "I confessed my feelings, but she rejected me."
Diana gasped in shock. "Ohmygod, Danny… I… I'm so sorry." she gasped.
Flashback, before Danny arrived in NYC.
"For the last time, Fenton: You and me are never, EVER going to be together!" said Paulina, as she had knocked Danny to the ground with a backhand. "And if you ever come anywhere near me again, I'll have you sent to the ER with permanent injuries!"
"Back off, Sanchez!" said a voice, as Star punched Paulina in the face, giving her a bloody nose. "Danny did nothing to provoke you. All he did was confess his feelings to you, and you had to be an absolute monster towards him!"
"So what? Besides, we all know for a fact that Danny and others like him have no future!" said Paulina. "It's the truth and you all know it!"
"Miss Sanchez, that's more than enough from you!" said a voice belonging to Mr. Lancer, who had seen the whole thing. "You are officially expelled from Casper High School!"
"You can't do that!" Paulina snapped.
"Yes, I can, and I will young lady!" said Mr. Lancer. "I already spoke to the police. You'll be spending a few nights in juvenile hall for misdemeanor assault!"
Later, it showed Paulina being led off campus in handcuffs, having been charged with assault and serving a few nights in juvenile detention.
"Mr. Fenton, why don't you take the rest of the week off from school?" Mr. Lancer suggested.
"Thanks, Mr. Lancer." said Danny. "Though, I need something to vent my frustrations on."
"Right here, Fenton." said Dash, feeling some remorse for making Danny and co.'s lives a living nightmare. "Gimme your best shot." with that, Danny then popped Dash in the nose, before heading home.
At Fenton Works, Danny arrived home, and Maddie rushed up to him.
"Mr. Lancer told me and your father everything. What Paulina did was not okay in the slightest." said Maddie, outraged that Paulina smacked Danny and threatened to send him to the emergency room.
"Clearly, Paulina needs to spend time in juvenile hall until she's 21 years old." said Jack, knowing that Paulina could be spending time in juvie until she's in her 20s. "A few nights isn't gonna be enough for her to learn her lesson."
"Danny, the way me, Mom and Dad see it, Paulina's just not the right match for you." said Jazz, as she hugged Danny. "But, there are lots of other girls out there."
"I guess you're right, guys." said Danny, with a small sniff
End of Flashback
"Danny, if all Paulina is gonna do is make everyone as miserable as she is, then the least she can do is stay single for the rest of her miserable life." said Diana, with a serious look. "If it means much, I'll be your new GF."
"Really?" said Danny, stunned.
"Yep." said Diana, as she then kissed Danny on the lips and the two laid in bed together.
(End of Chapter 2)
Next time, on The Fantastic Justice Avengers: The team head to investigate what appears to be an alien spacecraft in the woods, where they encounter the Skywatch Squadron, a group of Maximals led by Lewamus Primal, a former Predacon turned Maximal who is the reincarnation of Optimus Primal. Meanwhile, the Cabal of Darkness gains new allies in the form of Levatron, the reincarnation of Galavar/Megatron and his own faction of Predacons. Can our heroes save NYC from these Predacon and Decepticon attacks? Find out, in Chapter 3: Arrival Of The Beasts!
Note(s):
Matthew Nakajima/Ultraman Nova's transformation device, the Ultra-Nova Riser, looks similar to the Ultra D-Flasher, with themes of a GUTS Sparklence. He uses the Ultra-Rise Cards for transformation and form-changes.
Ultraman Nova's physical appearance is based off of Victorious from Gigantic Hero Victorious, but his body is patterned like Ultraman Z Gamma Future, with the purple parts being recolored blue, with the black markings of Trigger Truth. His head is a tribrid of Ultraman Rosso, Ultraman Xenon, and Acura, with a G1 Optimus Prime face-shield in place of a mouth. His Ultra-Armor is like Taiga's, but silver. He has the emblem of the Cosmo Dragon on both of his arms.
The Ultra-Nova Sword looks like Caliburn from Sonic And The Black Knight mixed with Excelsior from Power Rangers Operation Overdrive, but it functions like the Ultra-Dual Sword used by Ultraman Decker.
