Episode 3:

Raising the Stakes

Unknown location

"Power Rangers here?! T-hat's impossible!" Jinxer backed away, shocked at the revelation whilst feeling concerned for the Prince...

Who scoffed rather irritably at these news, yet didn't seem perturbed at all. "It seems that taking over this world won't be as easy as I thought" But then, his voice would begin to ramp up, pride and purpose overshadow the lackey's own worries. "But I relish the challenge. I, Olympius, son of queen Bansheera, will exact our revenge. Jinxer how many of my forces escaped the shadow world." Olympus demanded.

"I'm afraid not enough, your evilness. I'll need to find other means to bolster our forces!" Jinxer states worryingly

"Hmm for now we need to prepare ourselves for our next attack." Olympius said.

(Title Scene)
"Power Ranger S.R.F Lets Go"

"In a world, with the forgotten, S.R.F lets go!"

"The powers have awakened, S.R.F lets go!"

"Go beyond the emergency, S.R.F lets go!"

"To stop the enemies! Power Rangers Go!"

"They will unite!" "Power Rangers Go!"

"They stand to fight!" "Power Rangers Go!"

"Have no fear!" "Power ranger Go!"

"Cause they are here!" "Power Ranger S.R.F Lets Go!"

*Siren sounds*

"It's been a week since the first appearance of these Power Rangers, after the fight with a group of mysterious villains that took out several pro heroes with ease. At first they were believed to be vigilanties, but after a press release by David Shield, what has been discovered is they are a unit working for the Special Response Force. Are the rangers needed, could this be S.R.F time to shine? Let's turn to our panel for their thoughts."

The camera's focus changed then, to a female reporter wearing a sea-green suit, who's expression was at least, grateful even. "I, for one, am glad that these Power Rangers exist, it's about time we saw the S.R.F in action." She spoke, as an image of the team in question appeared to her right. "As much as I love heroes, it's nice to see first responders step up to the plate.".

But then, another voice had the opposite sentiment."I disagree, with you Asumi, and the existence of these spandex wannabes from the S.R.F. The situation, which took place in downtown Musutafu, required better suited pros." Another panelist, a spectacled man in his mid forties, wearing a dark blue suit retorted, obviously not even amused by the Rangers' existence. "If anything the S.R.F should be equipping the pros, NOT the responders. This is the age of superheroes and crime is still at its lowest in generations. More heroes WILL be needed to keep the peace. And besides what can these rangers do that pro heroes can't." He looked on to the screen, face serious and scowling. "They should keep to the sidelines."

The transmission went dark as the TV was turned off. The man, David Shield, had the remote on his hands and an exasperated look on his face. Within the room, other two figures, one lanky and tall alongside a tiny one, sat by him.

"Well, It would seem the opinion on the rangers is mixed." Nezu thought while sitting in a chair and took a sip of his tea.

"I'm not that surprised, honestly." Spoke up Yagi, looking clearly more disillusioned with the report."People are, by nature, adamant to change." The gaunt blonde propped his chin against his hand, a frown firmly in place on his face. "But I guess it's a start."

David sighed, his free hand going to his face, and then massaging the bridge of his nose. He was sure the kids would get more abrasive opinions thrown their way. "That's one way to put it, Toshi. But all that matters now is making sure the Rangers are ready. Public opinion on them doesn't matter right now." David replied before looking at a clock, and noticing the time he'd wasted there already.

"Coincidentally, I've got a meeting with them right now. . ."

Meanwhile, at Aqua Station. . .

The Rangers, at that moment, had gathered around in the mess hall early for breakfast. The team were now wearing brand new, matching uniforms to further show their new status as an actual team. Their uniforms were a matte black jacket with 2 white vertical stripes at each side, symbols of the S.R.F on the front left, and a sewed-on shield on their backs to represent each ranger and their color. Izuku's was a red striked one, reminiscent of the fire department's own shield on the back numbered 1, Aoyama's was royal blue, far closer to an Air Rescue insignia, and Melissa's looked like a medical-cross shield, colored in yellow. They all wore black cargo pants and combat boots with white detailings.

Melissa and Izuku both chatted excitedly about their first deployment last week, noting things that they did almost naturally like sword fighting, acrobatics or even shooting a gun, finding these things both a bit scary but equally fun. But then, they noticed the lack of a third, distinct voice. When they looked at their teammate, they were met with the visage of Aoyama's frowning, face contorted in a pensive and somewhat unsure expression, instead of his extroverted and somewhat extravagant attitude.

That wasn't a great sign honestly. "What's wrong Aoyama?" Melissa tentatively spoke up, as she took it upon herself to check on the younger boy, with Izuku at her side looking rather worried himself.

Aoyama looked up at them, at first looking alarmed like he'd been caught stealing their lunch from the fridge, before his eyes flicked down to the table again, a sigh escaping him. "Oh, rien, nothing. It's just that-" The blond hesitated slightly, rubbing his right arm as he spoke. "It's only been a week since we found out about the demons, and– don't you think it's weird." Now he lifted his hands up abruptly with a small cloud of glitter ejecting upwards as he did, his eccentricity finally shining through again. "Just last week we were training to be rescuers, not demon hunters! Why did it have to be us?"

Izuku felt compelled to speak up, although he wasn't really sure what to say. So his brain took over. "Ww-ell technically, we were training to be both, Aoyama." At Aoyama and Mellisa's confused and unamused looks respectively, Izuku made a point to try and keep his thoughts to himself.

Melissa once again spoke up, seemingly getting ready to be a translator for Izuku, voice collected and thoughts clear. "What Midoriya most likely means, is that we WERE supposed to learn of this later this year, but the situation required the truth to be revealed much faster." Izuku definitely felt grateful for Melissa's way with words. "I know my dad wouldn't hide it from us forever, even if he had every reason to."

Again, Aoyama sighed, now lowering his hand, before grabbing his own right fist with his left, and massaging it. "I-I guess but still, why not have All Might or Endeavor to fight the demons?" To be honest, even Izuku and Melissa had asked themselves that. "You know, someone with more real expertise in fighting? Ww-we're just a bunch of teenagers." Now, Aoyama showed that he was more fearful than anything, his voice shaky and small.

The red and yellow rangers sat in silence after their teammate's slight rant, giving themselves a minute to think before Izuku responded, knowing what he wanted to say. "It's true that we are still young and inexperienced, but as long as we're doing our best we can get through that together. The fight with that Ghouligan guy is proof of it, Aoyama!" Melissa nodded at the greenete's sudden exclamation, both equally determined.

Though, Aoyama was clearly not in the same boat."But– if we fail, then what?" His voice, sad and meek, didn't sit well with either Melissa or Izuku, both of whom put their hands over Aoyama's clenched fists, trying to reassure him.

"We'll do that together too."

But then, the speakers blared out, with a rather ill-timed clip of 's voice. "Rangers to the briefing room," The announcement could be heard overhead, causing the rangers to put away the food and head towards the area they were called to, or at least two of them, as Aoyama silently slipped away into the corridors.

When the two noticed he was actually gone, they were already at the door of the meeting room. Although they felt upset, forcing Aoyama here would only be counter intuitive. "Welcome to the meeting, rangers, I hope you have adjusted well to the station." David was there to receive them, a warm smile on his face. But then, he noticed the severe lack of the team's spark, quite literally. "W-wait, where is Cadet Aoyama?" The man asked both curiously, and somewhat concerned for the boy's rather odd absence.

"Well daddy, he had to take an important phone call with his mother." Melissa replied, getting an odd luck from her father rather quickly.

But he simply shrugged at this, slightly disappointed. "Then I guess we'll continue without him." "Well then the reason you have been called here today is to introduce you to the latest equipment to your arsenal." A holographic display will appear in the room. "Introducing the Response Zords." The rangers are each shown three gigantic different machines, reminiscent of first-responder vehicles: a massive red fire truck, a titanic blue helicopter, and a gigantic yellow ambulance. "The Zords are used for intense rescue situations and to also help when the enemy takes it up a notch."

Melissa and Izuku, suffice to say, could feel their jaws hitting the ground, and their souls momentarily escaping their bodies at the absurd yet absolutely awesome sight."They look amazing sir, but what do you mean by taking it up?" Even though he was super excited, the greenete's more rational side of his brain still worked enough to be cautious about this whole new gig.

"Although I doubt it'll surprise you, we must be prepared for anything. The demons have numerous abilities, so they can blindside you at any second. Now if nothing else i'll let you know how they are operated so… ," the meeting would continue on for about an hour.

After the meeting both Izuku and Melissa sat in the meeting room on their own as had to quickly walk off to deal with a malfunction in the generator room. Melissa was the first to speak up, still upset at the way he just left, but understanding him entirely."I wonder if Aoyama is alright . . ." Melissa would ask.

Izuku nodded solemnly, propping his chin up against his hand. "I hope he is, he's super overwhelmed by all this stuff.."

Meanwhile in S.R.H Land HG

Speaking of him, Aoyama was currently sitting on a park bench, holding onto a small mirror in his hand and a comb in the other. 'All I want to do is save people and know how to protect myself, not fight literal demons,' The blonde sighed as he began to comb his hair, slowly and somewhat lazily.

But then someone approached, someone tall. "Excuse me, young man, is this seat taken," Aoyama's neck could've cracked given how fast he suddenly looked over his shoulder to the figure. Thankfully, it was none other than All Might! Or well, huh, Toshinori Yagi right now, in all his skeletal glory and his rather massive, cumbersome and ill-fitting clothes.

Aoyama, although a bit creeped out by how silent the man was, shook his head. "Oh no worries, good sire, you may sit." The young blonde scooted a bit from his place, letting the man enough space to sit comfortably. At this, the cartoonishly thin man grinned a big, toothy grin and spoke again. "My name's Toshinori Yagi, young man." Aoyama was sure he'd heard that kind of baritone before, but with such a gravely, raspy voice he simply thought he must've been some sort of Voice Actor.

Then it was his turn, to be polite and all "and mine is Aoyama Yuga, good sire." Although he tried not to, Aoyama's surprise soon gave way to his miserable, sullen mood, which was made clear as he combed through his hair, expression still downcast.

And the man was quick to notice it. "Hmm you look like you have something on your mind."

Aoyama knew better than to speak about the Power Ranger stuff he was now tangled with, but he also really needed to talk with someone who had more answers than he did, at least to get some sort of way to cope with this. So, time to omit some of the truth. "Well you see, I've been given a new position at work with some co-workers, in a cafe. That I thought was going to be a one time thing. The thing is this job has a lot of responsibility and I don't wanna mess it up. Maybe I'm not the right person for the job." he looks down at the mirror in his hands, just now noticing that he'd messed his own hair up, and more doubts begin to pile up on him. If he couldn't take care of his own hair when under stress, then what would he–

The man hummed pensively, as he looked up to the sky. "Hmmh that does sound quite troubling, young man," but once he looked at Aoyama again, his toothy grin was back again. " But I think you'll do fine." He even gave him a finger gun.

Suffice to say, "Why do you think so ?" Aoyama wasn't sure why this stranger, as kind as he was, had so much faith.

"Well, you see you may feel unqualified, young man." laid a hand over the young man's shoulder, and the boy didn't really reel back, but kept hearing him out. "but you've been given that job for a reason. Because you are the right person for the job? Because you're trusted? Who knows. It's ok to feel unqualified or not worthy, but you should give it your all, just to prove those who trusted you right."

Aoyama's face slowly contorted into a truly genuine smile, as he took those words to heart. Butbefore long, a beeping sound from his Morpher sounded, an alarm for him to report to training.

"Mondieu! I've got to go ," Aoyama got up, ready to run for it, but not before looking back at the man, and waving at him. "Thank you, Monsieur Yagi!"

Yagi waved back, smiling warmly at the boy as he chuckled "Good luck ranger." He said, as Aoyama was already far away from him. These truly were promising much more than simple fighting spirit.

But, his small respite was already long past. Evil never took a break, and neither could he. So, when he was sure no one was looking, he buffed up into his Hero form, and off he was with a mighty leap, into the city.

_
Sometime later

Everything was rather peaceful in downtown Musatafu, considering last week's happenings. But that peace ended rather abruptly the moment when an actual meteorite crashed directly in the center of the Kiyashi Ward Shopping Mall. Surrounding shopping zones in the center ended up covered in shrapnel, dust, or actual raging fires not unlike Ghouligan's assault upon the city, but horrifyingly enough the floor around the crater was quickly engulfed in red-hot lava, slowly flowing outwards towards every place in the mall!

Luckily some pro heroes arrived who happened to be close-by to the scene to help the rescue efforts. One of them being none other than Backdraft yet again, who was already fighting against the flames with everything he had. "The fire is too strong for my quirk. We need more help!" He yelled out, currently pushing his quirk to the limit. 'Crap, I've never seen a fire getting this big so fast!' he thought, the fabric of his arm-hoses already straining from the pressure. 'And I don't think we'll put it out fast enough, only contain'

Just as things couldn't get any worse, they did. The ground suddenly began to shake and rumble, concrete shattering all around the impact zone, just as a giant rocky creature, with a mass of jagged stones emerging from it's right shoulder as it swept fire and molten rock, a crown of equally jagged rocks upon its head and blazing magma dripping from a crack that traveled from his right pectoral to his left thigh, emerged from the Crash Site with a raging roar, that slowly devolved into a dark, sinister chuckle.

Mountain Lady, one of the heroes that just managed to arrive, looked up in awe to see something taller than her, which slowly turned into fear when she felt the massive Demon's eyes zeroing on her. Magamavor roared again, and his left pectoral soon transformed into a fiery, rocky and rather horrid attempt to mimic a face, that fired a barrage of fiery rocks against the nearby Heroes including Mount lady, which caused a massive explosion in the area as they impacted.

The assault not only forced the heroes back to help civilians away, but it even forced Mount Lady to deactivate her quirk or risk grievous injury. Just as all hope seemed to be lost, a familiar voice could be heard, and suddenly Magmavore fell backwards, a shockwave of pure power emanating from its chest as he roared in pain.

But the reason soon was revealed, as a hearty guffaw soon overtook the sound of the raging fires, "FEAR NOT, CITIZENS! HOPE HAS ARRIVED!" That voice, that baritone! The civilians and heroes alike looked over to the highest peak of the crater, and there he stood, flashing them all a blinding smile and a peace sign. "FOR I AM HERE!" proclaimed, All Might ready to pound this evil doer back into the crust of the Earth.

At the Aqua Station

The whole team watched the events play out on the monitor, all sharing the same horrified look on their faces "Search and Rescue parties are overwhelmed! And there's not enough heroes in the area to assist." Situation was really, really bad, given how Mr. Shield clearly sounded so agitated about all this. And for them, even seeing All Might showing up and rocking Magmavor's rocky crap wasn't enough to put them at ease. Izuku chief among them, given how much he knew about the man. 'I hope he has enough time for this.'

But then, Mr. Shield spoke to all of them once again. "Rangers, I fear it's time to use the Zords." And the kids all froze at the news.

Izuku broke out of that slight panic, and immediately spoke what his teammates also felt."B-B-but were not ready, sir! We just learned they exist!"

Melissa spoke up after him, looking slightly more composed, but still doubting the idea. "Yeah, dad. I really don't know about this-"

"Oui, Monsieur!" Aoyama came up last, feeling rather sick about the idea. "I don't even like heights! A-and It's one thing to shoot laser weapons, but to fly a chopper-"

"Don't worry cadets, the Zords have assisted control software. You'll be fine," David said, looking back at the screen, his frown deepening as he watched the battle. "Besides, we don't really have a choice in this. All Might could only hold that demon off for so long and by the looks of it the entire city could be destroyed."

'Wow, no pressure at all.' was the first thought on the cadets' mind, but he was right. Should they waste more time, not only would the city suffer more, but All Might could just as easily hit his limit."C-come on, Rangers! Let's go," Izuku proclaimed to his teammates against his own fears, and although reluctant, they nodded, and soon left the room.

The Cadets ran in unison towards a section of the corridor with three multi-colored tubes. "Morph to Rescue!" they shouted, and would enter each individual tube. The team was then separated, as they were transported to what seemed to be individual cockpits. As each one of the Cadets looked around in awe at the screens and controls, Chairman Shield, who sat in the monitor room, fiddled with a control console.

"Response Bay, Surface!"

From underneath the ocean's surface, a metal building began to rise up, and with it a trio of circular cylinders rose with bay numbers on each alongside a massive bridge metallic. Spectators near the base would witness the phenomenon, wondering what that was all about.

"Fire Responder 1 Rolling Out!" Izuku shouted as he inserted his Linker in the key slot, giving it a twist. From the outside, a massive engine's low yet mighty rumbling forced everyone to grow quiet, and watch even more engrossed. And what they saw couldn't make their imaginations justice: Out of the first cylinder drove a Giant Fire Truck with a mixture of black and red and 2 white ladders with hoses on them. "Hah, it's not as bad as I thought! It's like a giant bike!" He, though, had never ridden a bike before.

Rotors spinning and picking up speed emerged from the confines of the second bay, and then a titanic blue and black helicopter flew upwards, awkwardly tilting to the sides as it picked up altitude. "Whoa! A-aero Responder 2 taking flight!" Aoyama replied, although he muttered to himself, slightly miffed. "Mon Dieu, this mademoiselle is temperamental."

At this point, the bystanders looked expectantly at the third cylinder, and soon enough a set sirens blared out, as a large ambulance/hazmat truck hybrid covered in yellow and black emerged from the third bay. " Evac Responder 3, Ready and able!" Melissa's states.

Each Zord moves in the direction of battle, smoke and fire, ready to combat the threat with everything they could give.

The battle with Magmavore sure was a major drag, All Might wasn't enjoying one bit of it. 'Shit, I don't know how much longer I can last' Yagi thought, already having wasted a good chunk of time trying to take down this damned monster. As he went off once again on the offensive the titanic demon, All Might used some destroyed buildings to bound off like a very aggressive flea, before he blindsided Magmavore with a Carolina Smash to the back of his head. The attack, like pretty much everything he had been throwing at him, put Magmavore to his knees, no doubt dazed, confused, and increasingly angry.

But All Might must've had bad luck today, because the monster turned his whole body, landing a backhanded strike against his left side, and sent him like a meteor into the concrete, digging a trench with his body for a solid 40 meters before stopping. The damned thing had a punch, leaving his whole left side throbbing in pain, and making his damned wound act up, but once again he bounded off, catching Magmavore lacking as he nailed yet another punch to the back of his head. "Damn, Thank god for adrenaline." He said to himself, coughing a handful of blood and spit, his body already tiring faster than he hoped for. "I'm probably gonna feel like crap tomorrow."

While All Might was holding Magmavore off, Pro-heroes and first responders were trying to figure out how to enter one of the areas of the Mall blocked off by lava, which housed a building filled with trapped civilians, who were just minutes away of dying, be it suffocation, or the damned river of molten rock expanding. "Dammit Backdraft! There must be a way we can go there! Can't you cool the lava?!" One of the other heroes, Death Arms, would ask the exhausted water hero, who disheartedly shook his head. "I-I can't do crap about that, there is too much fire even for me!" He used his clearly strained hose-arms, that dripped a few drops of water, over to the crater Magmavore had seemingly spawned from "We're literally fighting a volcano!" But as they did, some firefighters were hearing something over the radio chatter, and it made their faces light up with hope.

One firefighter ran towards the heroes, clearly "we just got word that S.R.F are sending the Rangers to help with special machinery." One of the heroes on the scene, Snatch. Clicked his tongue, before sneering at the news. "Oh please! What good can those first responders do that we can't?" As if answering the pro hero's words, the sounds of sirens and helicopter blades could be heard, but they seemed to- echo far too much, in truth. The heroes and responders already in the area would turn their heads, and to their surprise and bewilderment, they were greeted by the sight of the three titanic machines arriving from Downtown in formation.

Although the machines were beyond mighty and intimidating, giving him a bit of a confidence boost, Aoyama couldn't help his stress over the fact he was in this mayhem. "Oh! Mon Dieu, this is a catastrophe!" The blonde exclaimed, just now taking in how much destruction there was, be it the fires and molten rock, or Magmavore's battle with All Might. "And we have to fight that- AH-HAH!" Just in the nick of time though, Aoyama managed to swerve to the side, barely evading one of Magmavore's blasts of molten rock.

"Aoyama, are you ok?!" Izuku yelled out, seeing as the Blue Response Zord was almost shot out of the sky. Then he received a callback from his teammate "O-oui, Midoriya, but- That was close!"

But then, another voice sounded in the cockpit's radio: Melissa's. "Aoyama, I know things look bleak right now but we got to focus. We're the best shot at stopping this bully and helping out." She said, trying to both keep the french boy focused, to which she didn't get a reply.

So, Izuku took it as a chance to speak up. "Melissa's right. All Might is doing the best he can to hold off the monster and-" Izuku's attention drifted to the monitor to his right and a few pings would appear in a monitor, showing various X-ray scans, as well as visuals of people trapped in the building surrounded by lava, signaling for help from the distance, panic and dread taking a hold of him. "Crap! There's a lot of people still trapped in that building." Melissa and Aoyama no doubt noticed this too, as he heard them gasp in horror. They had to come up with something for this!

He glanced to his left side, and saw that the other monitor also had something to show: Reports and files of pro heroes and the first responders on the scene there. 'Hmm this could work', Izuku thought, before he turned his attention back to, somehow, having enough confidence to be a leader. "Aoyama, go and assist All Might, you're the best shot in the team."

To say Aoyama didn't expect THAT kind of responsibility was an understatement "I-I am sooo touched, Mon Ami but that thing is massive! Shouldn't someone else-", "There's no one else! You are that someone else, and the right person for the job!" Izuku hadn't meant to shout so loud and angrily, but Aoyama cooperating so little had begun to eat through his nerves.

Said french boy had been startled by his teammate's suddenness, but then the words did make him think back to 's own advice and encouragement.' The right person for the job. . .' His grip around the Zord's controls tightened, before taking a big, calming breath. "You're right Izuku, I'll do my best", he would then push the control levers forward, suddenly nosediving his Zord towards the magma demon. "It seems I gotta work on this mademoiselle's spark," pressing the triggers on his Zord's controllers, a set of small cannons underneath his Zord began rapid-firing a hail of blue energy bolts "Because you're ignoring her, and wide open!" Magmavore, too preoccupied by All Might, was taken off guard and the sudden blasts hit him square on the face as he fell onto his massive, rocky backside once again. "I will do my best to hold him off!"

Izuku nodded to himself, before shifting his focus over to the Yellow Zord. "Melissa, I'm sending you the files of nearby heroes and rescue personnel to gather them in your Zord, do that while I'll clear a path in the lava!" Izuku ordered, once again, rather sternly, and if his teammates were put off by this, they didn't either comment or even acknowledge it.

"On it," The Responder 3 would make its way toward the pro-heroes and responders, Melissa's voice booming out through a set of speakers on the Zord to catch everyone's attention. "Can everyone hear me, I need you all to enter the back of my Runner. Response Red is gonna clear the path towards the building." the back of the Zord opened revealing a cargo bay.

The first responders that were on the scene didn't think twice and rushed into Zord, yet some of the pro heroes clearly weren't on board with the idea, some making rather rude gestures towards the Zord. That was, until Backdraft ran by his fellow heroes towards the Zord and Kumai Woods swung overhead them, using a street light. Then he shouted to the petty bunch down there. "What are you all waiting for are you?! This isn't the time to be petty, with lives at stake!" That seemed to do the trick, as those heroes reluctant to help the Ranger's plan soon boarded the Zord. "Izuku! Everyone is getting in! Do your part" Melissa replies.

Izuku nodded, while piloting the Fire Responder. As the titanic machine made his way close to the lava, Izuku could feel even inside of the cockpit just how hot the atmosphere was, but that wasn't about to deter him. "Alright let's do this, activating Tidal Cannons!" The twin water cannons on top of the Zord began to move upward, at an angle. "FIRE!" Then, a massive stream of water was shot out of each cannon, colliding with the molten rock and creating a massive screen of steam and sizzling water.

Melissa's view took a few minutes to clear, but once the steam cleared out, she saw a roadway was formed by the cooled rock. "The path is open, you're clear for entry Melissa." Came in Midoriya's voice, tone high spirits, yet stern all the same. "Roger that!'' The Yellow Zord would proceed to drive over the pathway, while Melissa began to speak, her voice being transmitted to the cargo bay. "Attention all passengers, we are near the collapsing building." Looking at a quick scan of the area. "Scanners indicate 101 civilians, 98 near the bottom floors and 3 near the top!" she says as she opens up the backdoor of the Zord, letting the pro heroes and first responders pour out and around the collapsing building.

"I'll handle the ones at the top floor", Izuku states as he gets out of his seat and proceeds to the back. "Fire Ladder! Launch!" One of the ladders rises towards the top of the building with izuku riding on top of it. When the ladder appears close enough. Izuku would then use his blasters to hit and break the glass, before heading inside the building.

Back at the building, Izuku finally arrived at the section of the floor where the people had been trapped. "Activate scanner," a digital 3D map would appear before Izuku and it showed 3 signatures, blocked by a wall and debris. "Aqua Station, come in! I found the civilians but they are trapped, any advice please?"

Back at the Aqua Station, David would reply to Izuku's question "Izuku pull your shield over your trigger on the Morpher, it will activate your rescue armament." "Got it, Rescue Arm, Activate!" His arm would become a bit more armored as a red power fist arrives on his arm.

"Awesome! a Power Fist!" Izuku waved his arm around a bit, feeling the surge of power from his weapon course through his arm, before zeroing back onto the debris. He pulled his fist back, and charged at it full force. "SMASH!" He shouted, giving the wall a super-powered punch that blew away part of it and creating an opening large enough to get the civilians out. Then he rushed toward the civilians, and seeing as they were all out-cold, the Red Ranger gave it his all, and carried the civilians outside and onto the ladder of his Zord, all in one go. "Upper levels are clear, how's it going down there?"

"It's all clear down here Izuku!" Her voice rang into his comms as the Yellow Zord's trunk door closed, with all the civilians and heroes aboard inside. "Alright then, let's drop them off somewhere safe!". Both Zords move out of the danger zone.

Meanwhile, All Might was catching his breath, the heat of the battle and his injury acting up once again making it hard for him to manage any more. 'Shit, I'm gonna hit my limit soon.' His sight then nailed itself onto the giant rock monster, and groaned in frustration 'Using my 100% now is no good now.'

Aoyama yelled into his comms, his Zord flying sideways as he peppered the monster with more energy bolts. "I'm running low on ammo. I don't know how much longer I can go on!" Magmavore, already fed up with the battle, went for a backhanded swing against Aoyama's Zord, faster than he could move his Zord out of the way!

But before he could strike, red and yellow blaster fire came in from afar, and struck him in the face, making Magmavore stumble back again. "Sorry we were late, Aoyama." Melissa would say, a relieved tone on her voice as she arrives with her Zord and Izuku's Red Responder Zord right next to her in his, who piped up too. "Yeah, traffic was crazy!"

Aoyama chuckled, but replied with a somewhat exasperated tone at their antics. "Took you guys long enough! Rocheux here is quite hard to erode!" Just then, David's face would appear in their Zord's monitors. "Rangers, time to combine the responders," Whatever he meant, for Izuku and Aoyama it sounded Awesome. "You've got the all clear for the Megazord Sequence."

They all, almost on instinct, grabbed their Linker Keys. "Yes Sir!" The trio responded with gusto, before pushing the keys deeper and twisting them once more, all the systems on their Zords lighting up.

The Fire Responder Zord would start the process as rockets push the Zord up to standing. The bottom part would extend to form parts of the legs and waist. The front of the Zord split off to 2 sides making a gap between the torso while the ladders landed in the back area. The blue Zord would carry the yellow Zord as it shifted and transformed into the torso's chest and head. While the blue Zord splits in half and attaches itself as the arms. The helicopter blades detach and form a saber on the side. "Firecode Megazord!" The rangers yell as their Megazord stands tall, striking a rather dramatic and dynamic battle pose.

The pro heroes present looked in absolute shock-and-awe at the massive humanoid robot those machines just combined into. They never thought that technology like that even existed. Mount Lady even felt tiny in comparison, that thing doubling her size.

'Hoh-ly. Stinking' "SUPER-CRAP" All Might, for his part, couldn't help the gigantic dumb grin on his face, as his astonishment soon gave way to childish delight and pride for these young warriors of justice. "HAHAHA, I'll leave the rest to you Power Rangers! GIVE HIM HELL!" He then jumped onto Magmavore's shoulder, and jumped once again with all his might, both giving the giant monster a massive SMASHing uppercut to the chin, and propelling himself out of the battlefield to depower.

Magamavore, somewhat dazed yet angry all the same, would fire a massive amount of fire and magma bolts towards the Megazord, explosions and smoke shrouding the area where it was hit, and making the inside of the machine shake. "He's hitting really hard." Izuku stated as he watched from the combined cockpit, Aoyama soon chimed in, sounding rather pleased with himself "But, Mon Ami~," When the smoke cleared it showed the Megazord not affected by the rubble, and Melissa piped up with gusto. "Not hard enough!"

"Yeah! Now it's our go!" Stated Izuku, as he pushed a lever, and the Megazord lifted its arms. The ladders on the Megazord's back proceeded to anchor themselves on the Megazord's shoulders, steam sizzling out of exhaust ports as they did. Then, as he brought his arms back down and aimed them at Magmavore, the ladders extended back and forth, hitting the Demon and pushing him back, like a retractable glove box.

"It's about time for our dazzling finale!~." Aoyama said, sparks of light emanating from his helmet, as Izuku and Melissa nodded, and they each grabbed a lever.

"Final Emergency! Firecode Saber, Responder Strike!"

The Rangers yelled out as they brought the levers down, and soon the Megazord's Sword began to slowly power up, a dashing cool blue light engulfing its blade.

Then the Megazord swung its blade at the helpless Magmavore, unleashing a powerful, sparkling energy wave. The Molten Rock Demon would scream out in pain and agony, arms flailing in panic, before he went completely limp and silent, falling to the ground and exploding, leaving nothing but ashes and dust, just like Ghouligan.

As the battle finally came to a close, the Megazord would lower its weapon. After the enemy's defeat, the Megazord would then turn towards what remains of the magma left behind and would fire hydraulic rockets to cool the molten rock and put out the flames. Then David's voice rang once again "Rangers return to base, the Ground Teams will take it from here." David would state through the intercom, before adding up with clear pride on his chest and voice. "Good job team, Rescue complete." After that statement the Megazord would disperse into the individual Zords and return back under the sea.

Back at the Aqua Station

Our ranger trio were walking towards the meeting room, Izuku was being his best self: Going crazy over his friend's performance. "You did great out there Aoyama!" Far from being weirded out like most, Aoyama smiled smugly, his hands on his hips and his chin up, supported by new found pride. "You got to fight alongside ALL MIGHT! Ohohoh, It must have been awesome." Not that it deterred Izuku from fanboying.

"Merci, Midoriya, but-" Aoyama suddenly felt slightly ashamed of himself and for good reason. "during the fight part of me wanted to run away, like if I was alone, but then I realized I have y-."

He didn't even get to finish his heartfelt speech, before Melissa all but crushed his windpipe with the mother of all bear hugs. "D'aaaaw Aoyama! I'm so happy you feel that way about us!" She smiled as Aoyama's arms flailed. But thankfully she let go just enough to wrap an arm around Izuku's own neck, as pulling him into the hug. "We're gonna be the best team ever." Aoyama gave a tired, but still smug smile, all the while izuku shriveled up like a leaf in autumn, what with Melissa being so close to him.

As the trio arrived at the meeting room, they were then greeted by the sight of not only David Shield standing there, but also talking All Might, shocking Aoyama more than Izuku and Melissa.

"OH MON DIEU It's All Might!'' He exclaimed, breaking out of the hug and standing like a deer caught in a headlight. He was a mess right now! His true dazzle wasn't there! Oh this was mortifying!

"HAHAHA, YES! I AM HERE." He said, flexing his muscles as he gave them a bright smile and a thumbs up. "Ready to congra- "All Might came by himself to thank you." said David, Ignoring the fact he cut off his best friend, who gave him a dejected and kind of exasperated look, hidden behind his smile. He coughed a bit into his hand, ignoring the small amount of blood that splattered on his fist.

"Yeah, THAT!" He quickly recomposed himself before speaking up."I'll have to say what you did out there was not only brave, but astonishing! I hope you keep at it!"

Aoyama, being praised by THE All Might himself, was nothing short of star-struck, as his smug eccentricity returned in full force. "Well it was only natural, for a star like moi, to outshine evil in such a manner!" Yep, that's Aoyama right there. This would then cause the room to laugh a little bit, before All Might suddenly combusted into a cloud of steam.

David sighed and shook his head.

Melissa looked in shock as her uncle's silhouette disappeared into the steamy cloud.

Izuku turned as white as a ghost as he looked in true, unrefined horror, and grabbed at his hair.

And All Might, now in his true form, grunted as he looked at his watch. "Crap."

This would leave Aoyama absolutely shocked, his emotions numbed as he looked at Toshinori for the second time today "Mr. . . Yagi?".

Unknown Location.

"Hmm these power rangers are interesting." A man, shrouded in shadows, would state.

"And as far as public perception goes, it's pretty mixed about them as well." a ghastly creature would state as he looked .

"Who cares? They are a bunch of side characters that show up to fight those NPCs anyway." A young white haired man, who was in dire need of chapstick, critiqued.

"And they are all hidden behind those masks, which slightly irritates me. So much to do and so little time . . ."

To be continued…

Hope you enjoyed the chapter, we have finally been introduced to Zords.
For those wondering why the lightspeed tag is there. Think of it as a sequel series similar to how beast morphers is technically RPM's sequel.
Zord and Megazord Art (created by me) will be posted on the bottom of Ao3.

Now that the Zords have been introduced, how will the world react?

Find out next time, till then
