Episode 5:
Drill of Thought
"It has been another week since the power rangers had defeated another giant villain. There have been talks of creating a shelter system for those seeking refuge from this new category of Villains. So far we have had no response from the hero commission but.." as the tv turns off in front of a giant man in a blue costume that is covered in flames.
"Those wannabes are taking all the spotlight," a man with a blue spandex uniform and flames allowed over his body would then stand up. "Let them for now but nothing will stop me from becoming number 1."
(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*
S.R.F. H.Q. testing lab
We find our heroes, along with David and Hatsume, in what appears to be an empty room with a target on the other side. Currently in the middle of the room, there appears to be a blaster-like device with a drill on the end and a slot for a linker and an orange linker.
"Sir, why are we here in the lab, sir?" Aoyama would ask curiously.
"Well, that's a good question. The reason you are here is to test out the latest weapon in your arsenal against the demons that the lab has developed. I'll let Hatsume take it from here."
"Ohhh, welcome Rangers! After time and effort, the lab team and I were able to make the strongest item in your arsenal. The Rescue Piercer!" She would then pull out a microphone out of nowhere as she explained while everyone covered their ears. "This baby here is more powerful than all your blasters combined and packs quite a punch. It also has a drill function, making it pierce the toughest of walls with ease. At the base, you can also place any linker to maximize the blast power."
"Thank you for the introduction, Hatsume." David said, clearing out his ears. The others, still dazed by the sound, would slowly collect themselves. "The reason you are here is to test the gear itself. Recently, we had a few scientists test out the equipment, but it ended up with a few injuries." The scene cuts to a few scientists in casts and hospital beds. "We're hoping to see how the blaster works with Rangers Tech for better results."
"Leave it to me, sir; when it comes to shooting, I'm the best." Aoyama surprisingly stepped up to the plate and went into the room. Morphed and confident, Aoyama would give a thumbs up to the others as he began to put his hands on the blaster.
Melissa smiled and said, "I'm glad Aoyama is putting in more initiative." "Ready," Hatsume says as Aoyama picks up the blaster. "Yeah, he has come a long way in the past couple of weeks." Izuku responds. "Aim," "To be honest, I had my doubts sometimes, but he has really grown." David would pitch in. "Fire," 'this is my chance to show how amazing I am,' Aoyama would pull the trigger only to be knocked back against the wall, the shot completely missing the target. And just like that, the admiration in the room was gone.
This would continue for a few more tries until Melissa would then say, "Aoyama, stop. Let me have a go with it." As Melissa morphed into the testing room, Aoyama demorphed, holding his arm. Melissa in position would then say, "This gear would require a more delicate touch." As she picks up the weapon a little more slowly and fires, she is also knocked back against the wall. She would then continue to try again, only to also slam into the wall.
"Hmm, let's try again in an hour," David would say as Izuku sighs in relief, and he would be glad that he didn't have to use the new gear yet.
Meanwhile in an unknown location
Olympius would be sitting in the chair looking over what appeared to be a crystal ball. The crystal ball displaying the earth "this world rangers are as annoying as the other ones."
"I agree your majesty, these rangers seem to have pretty high fire power as well." Jinxer stats reflecting on the previous battles.
"That's it Jinxer, bring me one of our demons, I have a plan to heat things up." Olympius would say
"Ok Izuku Let's see what you can do." After hearing David's words, Izuku morphed and would slowly go towards the blaster. Before he could pick it up, the alarm sounded, causing David to go to a nearby monitor. "A demon is attacking a nearby industrial plant." The trio would run towards the exits and head towards the plant.
At the industrial plant
Workers at the industrial plant were running away from what appeared to be a demon with three heads. "Ah yes, humans run. Hahahaha. Face the wrath of Trifire." The demon would fire bolts of fire towards the area, causing minor explosions, until a blaster fire was placed in front of him, stopping him in his tracks. "Huh, who did that? '' He would then look up to see our Ranger trio already morphed with their blasters in hand.
"Special Rescue 1, Red Ranger!" Izuku states.
"Special Rescue 2, Blue Ranger!" Aoyama states.
"Special Rescue 3, Yellow Ranger!" Melissa states.
"Go beyond the emergency, Power Rangers: S.R.F!" The three rangers would pose. Trifire looks at them, unimpressed. "Rangers, perfect now is the perfect chance to destroy you all." "In your dreams, demon, we are going to stop you." Trifire would then fire two bolts of fire from its mouths, one at the rangers and another at the building. The rangers, forced down by the attack, would slowly get up to see the damage. "Blue, head into the building and put out as much flame as possible. Yellow, go and help civilians trapped inside. I'll handle the demon." "Right!" said the trio, who would split their separate ways as Izuku would pull out his side arm in saber mode and head towards the demon.
As the battle began, Izuku's attacks were met by Trifire's own double-sided blade. The battle of the blades would continue for some time, but during each swing, Izuku got more exhausted. 'Crap, this guy is stronger than the others.' he would then push himself back to get some distance.
"You're going to have to do better than that ranger." He would then begin to fire his breath at Izuku, forcing him back even more. "Woah, those flames are hot. Better keep my distance."
He would then shift his weapon to blaster mode and slot in his linker, "Final emergency!" "Take this," as Izuku fires a mass blast of energy towards the demon. "Oh, oh!" Shouted Trifire, as he is surrounded by a small explosion. Izuku would sigh a bit, thinking the battle was over, but to his surprise, he heard crackling in the distance. "Nani!"
Out of the explosion appears Trifire holding what appeared to be the energy of the blast. "This heat looks tasty." Slowly but surely, the heat from the blast gets absorbed into the demon's body, almost as if the attack did nothing. 'This is not good. This guy could somehow absorb heat energy' he would then proceed to pull out his rescue smasher and put his other hand near his helmet. "Hey guys, bad news: this demon can absorb heat. What's the status of the rescue? I could really use some back up."
Inside the building, Aoyama, holding his Rescue Drencher, was putting out some flames. "We are almost done here; we just got to the last batch of civilians." Melissa was helping the trapped workers behind the flames get out. "We're heading towards the back exit. Just hang on."
"Easier said than done," he shouts as he is being thrown towards the ground after a powerful slash from Trifire's blade. 'I'm just glad that things could not get any worse.' "You're in for it now, red ranger!" Just as Trifire was going to go in for another attack, a burst of fire was blasted towards the ground, separating the two. "Who did that?"
A tall, built man whose hero costume consists of a tight, navy turquoise bodysuit with flames streaming across his chest, upper torso, arms, and most prominently, his shoulders. He uses his flames as a makeshift mask around his eyes, and his tall boots appear to be either made of fire themselves or constantly left alight, as only their soles and laces are visible around the flames. He sports white bracers on his lower arms, styled in a cage pattern, and a blue belt with a pouch on either side. This individual is the number 2 hero: Endeavor.
"What's Endeavor doing here?" Izuku would shout. Trifire would be enraged. "How dare you try and stop me from destroying the red rangers?" He would then open his three mouths and begin to build up fire. Endeavor, who just arrived at the scene, would scoff, "You think some weak fire is going to stop me? Think again." He would then hold up his arm as he built up a blast of his own. Meanwhile, at the Command Center, David is watching "This is bad; if what is said is true, then Endeavor should not be here at the scene. Stop him before he attacks the demon."
"Understood!" Izuku ran over to Endeavor's position, quickly putting himself in front of the bigger man's way. "Endeavor Stop! You'll only make the situation worse. This villian can-" He'd try to explain, and hopefully defuse the situation, but was interrupted. "I dont give a crap, I'll show that bastard- '' Endeavor then shoved Izuku rather forcefully, against a wall. "To mess with my city."
It didn't go unnoticed by the demon. "Eat this!" Trifire then fired off a powerful blast of fire towards the two of them, Izuku being forced to take cover behind some debris. "Now then take this villain. Special Move: Hellfire Storm" he would launch a small tornado of fire towards the Demon only for the demon's attack to be absorbed in the fire. "What!" Trifire's form was then engulfed by a titanic Tornado of fire, the 3 headed demon vanishing behind the raging fires of the Flaming Hero.
"Oh no!" Izuku would state as he watched what transpired. Endeavor, on the other hand, was satisfied by the attack and had a small smirk, thinking he was victorious. Inside the inferno, laughter could be heard from inside the fire tornado. The flames from the tornado begin to get absorbed. "Such powerful flames, such tremendous heat, I should thank you for the meal." As the flames are being absorbed, Trifire's body begins to shift and change color from a dark brown to orange. "I feel more powerful than ever!"
"What the heck happened? That attack should have taken him down!" Endeavor was pissed off by the fact that his attack was about to launch a blast of fire but was stopped when Izuku grabbed his arm and hand. "Stop Endeavor. This villain can absorb heat. Your attacks are only making it stronger." Endeavor's eyes widened by the realization.
"Thanks for the power-up. Why don't I give you a present for your trouble?" With high speed, he would push himself between the two and hit both the hero and ranger with his claws. Knocking Izuku down but greeting a gash on endeavors suit He would kick him into a nearby building.
Izuku would get back up to equip his Rescue Smasher and rush towards Trifire. "Smash!" Izuku yells as he punches the demon in the chest, but to his surprise, it does no damage. Trifire twists his blade and slashes Izuku across the chest, causing him to be launched back again.
Trifire, pleased with his results with the red ranger, would then aim his three mouths at the industrial building. Izuku, realizing what he was going to do, tries to warn him. "Oh no, guys. Get out of there; the demon is going to fire at the building." "We can't, Izuku. The last civilian is still inside."
Trifire fires a beam of fire towards the building as an explosion occurs, causing it to collapse. "G-Guy!" Izuku shouts as he runs towards the building.
Trifire was going to go for another offensive to finish the distracted ranger but was stopped by a ringing sound in his ear. "Trifire, that's enough; return to the cavern at once; we must prepare for the next phase of the plan," shouts Olympius from the cavern. "Yes, my prince, right away!" he says before disappearing in a puff of smoke.
As Izuku begins to dig through the rubble, Endeavor gets out of the building that he was propelled into. "Hmph, such a waste of time." Seeing that the villain was no longer in sight, Endeavor got up and moved to a different zone, intent on at least helping find victims trapped underneath.
Izuku was searching through rock after rock until he heard a sound in the distance. A large piece of debris was beginning to shake, allowing for, "Could it be?" Izuku would rush towards that large piece of debris. He would proceed to grab the end and use all his strength to lift it up.
Underneath the debris were his teammates in damaged helmets, Aoyama covering an unharmed civilian male, and Melissa using her wrench as an anchor to stop the debris from collapsing onto them. "Hold on, guys, I'm going to get you some help!"
Meanwhile in the Cavern
Trifire walks into the cavern, eager to see what his prince has commanded. "Well done, Trifire, for taking out not one but two of the rangers!" The prince would pat the demon on the back. "Keep it up, and I may make you my second in command."
"Why do I thank you, sir? But if you don't mind me asking, why didn't you let me destroy all the rangers?" asked Trifire.
"Unfortunately, your new ability to absorb has a short time limit due to my powers being limited without my star power. you down here to make sure the power you absorbed stays with you before we begin the next phase."
"Oh, and what is the next phase, my prince?" Jinxer was curious as to what would transpire next.
"Oh, it's quite simple. Trifire, you are to head towards the city's main pipeline and use all your fire. The destruction it would bring would make even my late mother proud."
Meanwhile at S.R.F H.Q
Melissa and Aoyama were lying in hospital beds in a secluded room while Izuku and David were looking through the class. "According to the doctor, the suits took most of the damage, but they were still pretty roughed up," David said.
Izuku looked down at his own hands, "It. . . It's all my fault, sir" He began, his shoulders slightly shaking. "If I had put in more effort to stop the Endeavor, then the others would not have gotten hurt." He squeezed his eyes shut, fighting the urge to cry as he could hear David speak up once again.
"What happened out there was not your fault. Sometimes during a mission or a rescue complications can happen that are out of control." David sighs. "Given the gravity of this demon's power and our current weaponry, I've decided the best course of action is for the team to be placed on standby."
"But sir, what about Trifire?" Izuku would be shocked by his boss's order. "I've placed a call for All Might to return from his appearance in Okinawa, he should be here by tomorrow. Your orders are to stay put." David commanded firmly. "Yes sir," Izuku replied defeated.
After giving the order, David would leave the med leaving Izuku there. Seeing the state of his friends, he would gain a look of determination as he leaves the med bay to tech lab.
Inside the lab, Mei would be looking over some data on another project. She would hardly notice Izuku come in. "Hey Hatsume, I've got a question for you.", "yes Midoriya", "Can your computer access the city wide satellite surveillance systems." "Of course it can, ooh wanna know a fun fact, did you know that the satellite can alternate and track abnormal or high energy readings. Pretty cool right!" She states without turning around from the screen.
"Yeah that is interesting… Wait a minute Hatsume, if Trifire absorbed the heat from Endeavors quirk, wouldn't that leave an overly large heat signature." Izuku quickly theorized before starting to mutter more details. As he was muttering, Hatsume was typing up on the computer Izuku's theory until a pinging sound could be heard. "Huh, I guess you're right Midoriya. There seems to be a large energy reading near the outskirts of the city." She told the greenete absentmindedly as she kept working. "Oh by the way, you wanna know what I just finished working on- Uh?." She would turn around to see Izuku no longer in the room and what she would fail to notice is the missing orange linker.
At the Outskirts
Trifire would be walking towards what appeared to be a facility on the outskirts of town, in a quarry-like area, standing tall with large pipelines that led to the city. "Once I light this up, all that will be seen in the skies is fire and smoke. Mahahaha," as he started walking closer to the facility, was soon stopped by a red blast of energy. "Huh, who did that?" the three-headed demon would turn around to see the Red Ranger holding and aiming his side arm at Trifire.
"You're not going anywhere, Trifire!" Izuku explained as he put his blaster away.
"Oh yeah, nothing you have is going to stop me!" He then charges at the red ranger.
"Let's see what this thing can do." After clicking a button on the orange linker, the rescue piercer materializes in Izuku's arms.
Back at Med Bay,
David was looking at the rangers through the glass, a clear frown on his face, when Mei came rushing in a hurry. "Sir, We have a problem!" She shouted, uncharacteristically worried. That was a red flag already "I think Midoriya went to the outskirts to engage the demon in battle. He also took the Rescue Piercer!"
David's frown deepened at the news. "That reckless- Damnit let's head to the command room," as soon as David and Mei rushed out of med bay, the covers from the beds fell off.
Back at the Outskirts.
The battle continued as Trifire fired multiple barrages of firebolts towards Izuku. In response, Izuku would maneuver as best he could away from the blast, leading himself to a cliff wall. "Got You Now!" Trifire said as he fired a beam of intense heat towards Ranger.
In response, Izuku would fire a blast from the Piercer towards the left, pushing himself out of the way of the heated attack. 'Woah, this thing really does have a kick,' Izuku thought as he dodged the beams.
Trifire would once again make a big burst of fire towards Izuku, but this time instead of moving towards the sides, Izuku would launch himself into the air with the blaster. "Huh!" Trifire would shout in shock as he looked up in the air.
"Take this!" Izuku states as he fires the weapon towards Trifire as a spectral drill hits the demon, knocking him down. Izuku pushed back the shockwave of pulling the trigger, which would land on the ground with his arms shaking.
Trifire would slowly get back up. He said, "You think your puny weapon is going to stop me? I've taken down two of you rangers; what's one more?" As he stands up, he fires a blast of heat towards Izuku.
The blast was going to hit Izuku until it was intercepted by a large blast of water. "Huh," Trifire would say, looking in the direction of where the blast came from, and sure enough, a few more blasts targeted at him would push him down.
"Those blasts, it can't be!'' Izuku would look on top of the cliff; Melissa and Aoyama morphed, looking down on the battle below. "Ah, do you think you could start the party without us, Izuku?" Aoyama states. They would then jump off and regroup. "B-but your injuries," Izuku would stutter as Melissa put her hand on his shoulder. "They will heal; losing you won't. If one of us goes to battle, we all do."
They would then witness Trifire begin to get back up again. "Oh mon, this guy is really durable." "You think you can defeat me? Think again, FOR I AM TRIFIRE!" Trifire heads begin to charge large orbs of fire as they begin to conjoin.
"Then maybe we can defeat him by working together, Aoyama, your linker!" Izuku would say, "Right!" Aoyama hands over the blue linker; Izuku would then place the linker into the slot of the Rescue Piercer. "Final Emergency!" Izuku would aim the weapon at the demon while Aoyama and Melissa held on to him. "Eat this Hellfire blast!" Trifire would then release a mass blast of fire towards the Rangers. "Rescue Piercer: Hydraulic Blast!" the trio shouts as the weapon is fired. Out from the weapon is a massive blast of water and blue energy following a blue spectral drill.
The two blasts would collide for a short while with neither gaining any ground, that is, until the spiral blast disperses the flames as if drilling into the flame. "What!" shouted Trifire as the drill collided with his chest, drilling through until a large hole was seen in the middle of his body. "Curse you, power range…" He never finished the sentence due to it exploding a few moments later.
Jinxer, up above a cliff, would throw a card at the demon body parts. "Oh my, you better do better this time." He would then begin to wave his hands around and speak. "Trifire flames, whose flame went away, returned stronger, and wreaked havoc this day!" Bats begin to form around the ruble as it begins to come back together stronger. In a giant state, Trifire is in its giant state, but still orange. He looks down on the rangers and says, "Try stopping me now, Rangers!".
Izuku would use his communicator, "Response Zords, Fire UP!". We cut to the Response Bay, rising up from the water and releasing each Zord from its respective bay. The Zords continue to head in the direction of the team. As the rangers jump into the sky and land in their respective cockpits, they form the Megazord as well.
The battle would begin with both a Trifire and the Megazord pulling out their respective weapons. The two would briefly cross swords a few times in a battle of the blades. "Let's end quickly," Melissa states.
"Final Emergency! Firecode Megazord Saber, Responder Strike!"
The sword of the Megazord begins to slowly blow a dashing cool blue light as the Megazord swings its blade at Trifire. The blade was going to strike true until Trifire pulled his blade to counter, causing the Megazords Sword to split mid-strike. "What!" The Rangers in the cockpit looked surprised. "O-our Saber!" Aoyama stated, shocked.
"Oh, now this fight has gotten fun." Trifire would fire a large beam of heat towards the Megazord. The arms of the Firecode would cross in hopes of defending against the attack, and as the attack hit, it would knock the Firecode back, pushing it into the mountain side.
Back at the Aqua Station
"Red Ranger to Station, the demon has destroyed our saber, and we're taking heavy hits; we need help." Hearing his plea, David speaks through his headset, "Shield to the lab. The rangers are taking a beating; tell me Geo 4 is ready." "Ready as it will ever be!" replied Mei.
"Response Bay, Surface!"
Out of the water, another cylinder arises with the number 4 written in blazing orange. As the cylinder opens up, it reveals a large orange vehicle with treads instead of wheels and a siren that releases a yellow light. The biggest detail at the front of the machine is a large drill, which starts to turn as the Zord moves towards the battlefield.
"This is the end for you, Rangers!" Trifire roared as he charged up a beam in his mouth. But before he could fire, the ground below him gave in as a hole appeared causing him to trip and fall, the charge up effectively stopping. "What was that?!" Roared again the demon, as another hole opened up, shooting up dirt and dust as the new Zord suddenly made itself known.
"Rangers this is your new Zord, the Geo Responder 4" The voice of David once again"combine it with your Megazord for extra melee power", "Right," the right arm of the Megazord, Separates from the firecoded and attaches itself behind the right leg. The Geo Responder's front treads would retract as its back treads twist and turn to form a shoulder piece, the Zord would then attach itself to the right side of the Megazord, becoming its new arm. "Firecode Megazord: Drill formation!"
"Gah! It doesn't matter if you got a new, flashy toy, I'm still taking you down!" The demon would go in for a sword swing only to get countered by drill. The Megazord would land a series of quick, and rather painful-looking strikes with its new arm resulting in the destruction of Trifire's blade.
"Let's finish this." Izuku yelled out, Aoyama and Melissa responding with equal determination. "Let's go!"
"Final Emergency! Firecord Megazord: Drilling Smash!"
The drill of the Megazord begins to spin at an accelerated rate as orange spiral energy appears. It then rushes forwards and pierces the armored shell of Trifire. After the attack finished, the Trifire would stand there for a few seconds only to fall down and explode. The Megazord stands triumphant while posing.
Back at the Aqua-station
Melissa and Aoyama were finally cleared by the medics to return to their quarters. Although not before getting chewed out by the doctor for running out into battle injured. The two rangers would regroup with Izuku, who appeared to be waiting for them outside the mess hall. "Hey, Midoriya, how did the meeting go with the chairmen?"
"For stealing the piercer and defying orders, I've been assigned to clean all the bathrooms in both Aqua-stations, but I guess that punishment is pretty light." Izuku would state sheepishly.
"Well, you did go out to fight a fire-absorbing demon by yourself; what were you thinking anyway?" Aoyama was curious about his teammate's answer.
"When Trifire powered up and destroyed the building, all I could think about was how I gave the order for you to get in the building and how I failed to stop him from hurting my friends. If I had been a better leader, Melissa would smack the back of his head and say, "ow!"."You made the right call and did as you were trained. Izuku, we don't blame you for what happened; it could happen to any of us. Just next time something like this happens, don't forget we got your back injured or not." After hearing those words, tears start to form in Izuku's eyes as he begins to cry. His teammates would wonder, 'How is he crying so much.'
Meanwhile, at another part of the base, David is on a conference call with a few individuals, including Nezu. "Are you sure?"
"Yes, that is what the commission is planning to do, and some lawmakers are already in the works. Fortunately for us, we have time before the government signs the law and it takes effect."
"Then it's time we make some preparations of our own." David said firmly...
To be Continued…
Hope you enjoyed chapter 5.
For Endeavor's special move, I used material from the manga. I know his part was small in the chapter, but helps bring the message not all heroes are willing to work the rangers.
As for Trifire, while he was in his advanced state we only saw him fight the Megazord and was first monster Impus created it was fun to be creative with his abilities.
For Zord art and Megazord formation, it is available on the Ao3 version at the bottom of the chapter.
What could the hero commission plan be? How will it affect our Rangers?
Find out next time and may the power protect you.
