Killer Arc Part 2

Near downtown Hosu, a grocery store was occurring. Running outside of the building with bags of money were 2 crooks. "Man, this is so easy," said one of the crooks. The other crook smiles, "Yeah, with all those pesky heroes glory-seeking, it's easy picking for us." Just as they were about to get away, they stopped when a crimson bolt of energy was fired near their feet. They would then turn around to see the crimson ranger looking at them with his blaster pointed at them.

"Looks like our luck just ran out," the first crook muttered, dropping the bags of money as they prepared to face the consequences of their actions.

(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. Let's go!"

"Go beyond the emergency, S.R.F. Let's 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 Rangers Go!"

"cause they are here!" "Power Rangers S.R.F. Let's Go!"

*Siren sounds*

Police Station

Inside one of the rooms of the police force, Momo and Shinso were looking over files done by the police. They have been actively reviewing the sites and efforts of each detective. "Okay, this one is clean." Momo says a little disappointed. Shino would also sigh, "How many more files do we have to get through?".

Momo closes the file and stacks it neatly on the table. "We still have a long way to go, but we'll get through them all together," she reassures Shinso with a smile. The two of them continue their diligent work, determined to uncover any leads that could help solve the case. Just as Shinso opens the file, his eyes begin to widen. "I think I found something. What do we have on Detective Sullivan?"

Momo would begin to pull up his name within the archives. As she scans through the files, Momo's eyes widen in realization. "Detective Sullivan was involved in similar cases last year and the years before," she informs Shinso, her excitement growing as they potentially uncover a crucial lead. Together, they delve deeper into Detective Suluvens' past investigations to see if there is any connection to the current case.

"Strange, every case involving abductions has a medium to no success rate. And the range from those cases is from 4 to 10, well within the Acorn range. Any of the later age ranges have been successful."

"There is also contact information," Shinso says as he begins to point. "If we could get to that contact, the better a chance at finding the acorn project." Momo states. "Let's follow up on that lead right away; we have an address," Shinso suggests, eager to make progress in the investigation. As they prepare to reach out to the contact, a sense of urgency fills the room. But before they could do anything, they heard a loud explosion occur outside. Shinso and Momo exchange worried glances before rushing to the window to see what caused the explosion. "Looks like contact will have to wait; let's go."

Over the next few days, Melissa and Izuku were placed in some forms of heavy training with Gran Torino. Some of it includes adding weights to their bodies and holding other objects while Torino rushes past them and tries to push them down. The initial parts of the training were tough due to the speed of the hero, but over time the two cadets were able to adjust to his speed. Currently the two rangers were on a train and were sitting with the hero across from them.

While they were on the train, Melissa and Izuku were sitting, looking over their phones while Gran Torino was standing next to them. "Well kids, we will be arriving soon to the Hosu area; hopefully we could put some use to those new skills you learn." Crash! The sound of metal and glass breaking on the side of the train had been a Nomu appearing with long arms from the side of the train. In a quick action, Gran Torino forced the beast of the train with quick speed.

Two seated cadets would stand up to look out of the train. They were shocked as they were met with the sights of burning buildings and fires bursting through the area. "Was that Nomu's brother or something?" shouted Izuku as he pulled out his E-Tool.

"No, Nomu is still locked up; something is not right!" Melissa says as she pulls out her tool. The two would then point the tool at a nearby building and would immediately be ejected out of the moving train as the grappling hook pulls them out. As the rangers would then morph as they began to land, when they landed, they would then notice more Nomu on the ground. "Man, this looks bad. How could those things do some serious damage?" said Izuku.

As they were discussing, Izuku would then begin to get a weird feeling, "Wait a second, didn't the hero killer appear here recently? Maybe the reason the heroes haven't caught him yet is because they couldn't find him." Melissa would turn her head. "It is because he wasn't here."

"Nevertheless, Melissa, he must be present at this moment. I will locate him. You will assist the heroes in stopping the Nomu."

"Don't worry, she won't be alone," a voice through the communicator speaks.

Kirishima is currently performing a roundhouse kick on the ground towards the long-armed Nomu. "I was already in the neighborhood when this happened."

"Our team is heading to position to assist," Shinso says, using his whip to accelerate him and Momo to the scene.

"Alright then, good luck, everyone," Izuku says as he begins his search for Ida.

Alleyway

Within an alleyway nearby, a few blocks away from the battle, Ida was pinned to the ground due to the hero killer Stain's quirk. Just as he is about to attack Ida with his knife, a blast of energy hits his knife, causing it to break and leave his hand. 'What the-' Before he could finish his thought, a swift punch in his stomach caused him to stumble back and fly backward a bit.

Appearing in the alleyway was the Red Ranger. "You're not going to hurt anyone else," the Red Ranger declared, standing protectively in front of Ida. Stain growled in frustration, realizing he had a new opponent to face.

The local hero would speak and say, "Get out of there; this is a hero matter, not one of you S.R.F. guys problems," as he is lying on the ground.

"Red Ranger, please leave. This guy has taken down pro heroes; I know you are skilled, but please leave for your own safety; this is not your problem," says Ida while he was on the ground still held back the hero killer's quirk.

"The moment a life is in danger, it becomes my problem," he retorts as he looks at the hero killer. "I won't stand by and watch someone get hurt when I have the power to stop it," the Red Ranger declares, stepping forward to face the villain head-on. The hero killer narrows his eyes, recognizing a formidable opponent in the determined hero before him.

"As a responder, I pledge to brave fire and dangerous situations, even if it means putting my life in danger, as it's my responsibility to assist those unable to help themselves. Even if it's a hero that needs saving," he readies his sword with no hesitation in his eye.

"Well said," said the hero killer; he would then prepare himself to launch a lunge at the responder. "I can see why the league wants you dead; you are more of a hero than those fakes. But since you won't move aside, I will hurt you a little bit, as it's time to cleanse this world of these two fakes."

'Let's hope I can handle this quickly so I can help Melissa and the others,' he says as they proceed to combat with the hero killer.

Hosu

Shinso was currently on top of a city rooftop, combating the Winged Nomu that appeared. He had fired multiple rounds toward the Nomu, but it kept dodging his attacks. 'This is getting annoying,' he thinks. The Nomu unleashes a loud scream as it rushes towards the Ranger with fury.

In preparation for the onslaught, Shinso swiftly plans his defense against the Nomu's attack. With renewed vigor, he swiftly evades the creature's onslaught and prepares to strike back. "It's time to end this." As a reply, he brandishes his whip, intending to hit the Nomu where it is vulnerable, rendering it immobile. The result is that the flying Nomu plummets from the sky, letting out a piercing scream.

"Why don't you calm down!" Jumping into the air, Shinso approaches the Winged Nomu. The Nomu is knocked backward as he lands by a powerful hit to the head. Shinso notices that its movements are becoming increasingly erratic and sluggish. He swiftly positions himself behind the creature, sensing an opportunity, and deals it the ultimate blow, rendering it permanently incapacitated. The Nomu lets out a final roar before collapsing in defeat.

On the ground, Kirishima engages in close combat with a long-armed Nomu, countering the attack it absorbed from Endeavor. "Oh, come on." With his shield in his hands, he rushed in to deliver a shield bash that knocked the Nomu off balance. Melissa is currently firing her blaster at the Nomu, providing cover fire for Kirishima. The creature, dazed, would try and rush at her, but before it could get close, Gran Torino intercepted it with a powerful kick, knocking it to the ground. As the Nomu struggles to get back up, Gran Torino swiftly restrains it with his speed quirk, allowing Kirishima to finish it off with a powerful blow from his shield and Melissa to hit it with her wrench. "Come on, Rangers, there's still 1 more left," said the old man as he finished saying that.

Momo, the pink ranger, fired a shot with her shotgun at the large Nomu. The creature let out a deafening roar as it stumbled back from the impact of Momo's shot. She rushes forward and delivers a series of roundhouse kicks towards the head of the Nomu. The Nomu staggered under the force of Momo's kicks, but it quickly regained its balance and retaliated with a powerful swipe of its clawed hand. Momo barely had time to react, narrowly dodging the attack before counterattacking with a flying kick to the Nomu's chest. The Nomu roared in anger, its red eyes glowing with fury. It swung its other arm, aiming to grab Momo and crush her in its powerful grip. But before it could get close, a series of ices surrounded the monster, freezing it in place. Todoroki exhaled with relief as his attack proved successful.

"Good work, Shoto," said Endeavor, praising his son. Shoto looked at the entrapped beast unimpressed. 'I would not have been able to take it down if it wasn't for the pink ranger. I think I got in the way. He would then turn his head towards the side and see the pink ranger, nodding her head with approval.

Alleyway

The hero killer's swift movements and deadly precision caught the responder off guard, but he managed to hold his own with skill and determination. As the battle raged on, Izuku knew that every second counted in protecting his ida and the hero from this dangerous threat.

The hero killer would try and use his blade to cut through the ranger, but before that could happen, Izuku pulled out his saber to counter the attack, engaging in a fierce duel with the villain. Each attack was swift and fierce from both ends of the battlefield.

"I'm ending this," the hero kill would try and speed blitz his way towards Ida. "Oh no you don't," Izuku states as he pulls out his trigger, empowering the saber. He would then unleash a slash that breaks the hero killer's blade in half.

Identifying a gap in the hero killer's defense, Izuku seized the opportunity to unleash a powerful counterattack, determined to permanently incapacitate the villain. The sudden turn of events shocked the hero killer, who staggered back. "It's over," Izuku says before sucker punching the villain unconscious. With a final blow, Izuku knocked the villain to the ground, victorious in their intense battle. He would then pull out some reinforced handcuffs and help the hero and Ida get back on their feet.

Rooftop

"This is not as fun as I thought it would be. The hero killer was no Ranger killer, that's for sure." Shigaraki is watching the situation play out in front of him, dissatisfied that the heroes were winning. "So this is the result of the low-grade nomu," a voice behind them speaks. Out from a portal appears Destra. "It seems like you could use some assistance," Destra says, stepping forward confidently. Shigaraki smirks, pleased to have reinforcements on his side as the battle intensifies. "So are you going to join the battle?" Destra nods. He declares, "I'm here to ensure the heroes have no chance and to test out something we have been working on."

He would then take a grenade out and toss it into the air. The grenade would burst in a huge ball of light, but it wouldn't cause any damage as it transforms into a large creature that lets out a loud howl. Shigaraki is amazed as he observes the monster standing by, prepared to attack. He is excited to see the havoc it will wreak on the battlefield. Destra would turn and explain, "This is the Goram, or project G for short. It was the prototype of the pathetic heroes society, and it is now infused with demonic energy and the essence of a Nomu. The mission for them is straightforward: Obey and destroy."

Hozu

The Force rangers and Melissa are looking at the new giant monster that appeared out of nowhere. "What the heck is that thing?" said Momo. They have just finished cuffing the Nomu's with the heroes when the monster suddenly grew. The monster is unlike anything they have ever seen before.

"I don't know, but I'm not going to wait to find out. Enforcers Roll Out!"Kirishima calls out from his communicator. We retrace our steps to the beginning as the well-known massive tunnel starts to link up with the bridge. When the Zords emerge from the tunnel and make their way to the Hozu. As soon as the three law enforcement officers noticed the Zords' approach, they would immediately hop in and set up the Megazord.

The Black Speed Enforcer drives past and does a U-turn to connect to the Heavy Enforcer Zord. Its black wheel splits and moves towards the side, while the Heavy Enforcer extends parts of itself, retracting the wheels and closing compartments. The Pink Traffic Enforcer splits parts into two pieces and attaches itself to the Speed Enforcer's sides. The now-connected rapidly begin to ascend as the Crimson zord becomes the legs, Black the torso, and Pink the arms. When finished, a section opens up on the torso, allowing the head to appear with sirens blazing."Forcecode Megazord!"The Rangers yelled from within their cockpit.

The megazord was currently within a standoff between it and the newly formed monsters. Forcecode raised its blaster and fired upon the Goram, but to its surprise, the armor of the Goram was too powerful for the blaster to do damage. "What the hell?" said Shinso, shocked by this new development. The gorem pointed its arms towards the Megazord, and outside its turtle-like hands came energy bolts. "Evasive action," Kirishima orders as the megazord uses the wheels on its legs to accelerate and dodge the incoming barrage, only to be hit on the back. The Megazord begins to stumble and falls backward.

Meanwhile on the ground, Izuku and Melissa have just reunited on the ground as they watch what occurred. "This is bad; the Megazord's blaster doesn't have enough firepower to end this."

"Let's not forget the damage it could do to the city. If only Aoyama were here."

"Ask and you shall receive." A familiar voice could be heard from their helmets. The tow would then look up to see Aoyama in his zord carrying the other zords on a pad. "Sorry I'm late; I had to get something from the Pacific."

"It's a good thing you're here now. Let's do this. Let's form Firecode Megazord!" Izuku says as both he and Melissa jump into the air and into their respective zords. With a swift motion, the zords combined to form the powerful Firecode Megazord. Aoyama's arrival brought a renewed sense of hope as they prepared to face the formidable enemy threatening their city.

Just as the Goram was about to finish off the Forcecode Megazord, a sword strike from the Firecode forced it back away from the two Megazords. "You guys all right?" Izuku asks through the comms. "Yeah, just a little roughed up. This guy's defenses are strong, but its ranged abilities are powerful."

"Then we're going to need something powerful in range as well, Response Bay to Command; we need Aqua 5," said Aoyama.

Back at headquarters, as the response bay had risen, another container could be seen underwater with a giant 5 on it. It opens up to reveal a large cyan submarine-like zord. As it exits the block, its turbines begin to spin, launching itself into the air and towards Hozu.

The Gorem would begin to launch energy bolt after energy bolt towards the rangers, bemagzord, each taking some damage, but due to Firecode armor, it lasts longer. But before it could finish its attack, torpedoes rocket towards the Goram, causing it to fly backward.

"Great, a new zord." Izuku says, delighted. The cyan submarine-like zord gracefully lands next to Firecode, ready for battle. "Alright, guys, let's put them together." The left arm of the megazord separates itself and attaches itself onto the leg of the Firecode megazord. Aqua 5 would begin to shift its position and turbines to new locations. Its claws attack the back part while turbine torpedoes attack towards the front of the zord. The zord would then attach itself to the left arm of the Firecode Megazord.

"Firecode Megazord: Torpedo Formation!"

The newly formed Firecode Megazord: Torpedo Formation unleashes a powerful barrage of ranged attacks on the Gorem; the Gorem, in response, fires bolts of its own. Each attack intercepted each other, but sheerly to its surprise, the Forcecode Megazord unleashed its ultimate attack, which helped stagger the Gorem.

"Let's finish this off: Firecode Megazord: Hydro Lazer!"

The four torpedo pods begin to glow as water and energy begin to mix. Firecode would then aim its arm at the Gorem to unleash the powerful Hydro Lazer attack. The Hydro Lazer attack hits the Gorem head-on, causing a massive explosion that engulfs the enemy in a blinding light. The battle ends with the two Megazords side by side: "Justice Served/Rescue Complete!"

Sometime later

After the battle was over, Momo and Shinso headed towards the apartment building of the contact. "Great, now that that's over with, we can finally get more answers," as they would then enter the building only to notice a weird smell. "Wait, doesnt that smell like-" "Its blood." The two would quickly nod at each other and morph into the building.

As they arrived, they would then encounter a ghastly sight. The door of the contact had been breached, and a pool of blood was found on the ground floor within the room, as well as the dead body of the contact. The apartment itself was destroyed from the inside and looked to be raided.

"Darn it, he was our only lead." Momo says as she slams her fist into the wall. Shinso sighs within the helmet before he goes down towards the ground. "Maybe not," he says as he points towards the body and then towards the direction of his hand. He would then activate his scan and would notice something on the medicine cabinet leg. "Oh, this got interesting. Better call our captain."

Hosu general.

Izuku, Melissa, and Aoyama were walking towards the room where Ida was, as they had just finished assisting with rescue work within the area since the attack by the League of Villains and Demons. "So that's what you have been doing for the last few days, Aoyama."

The enthusiastic Frenchman would nod, "Oui, the Chairman needed someone to test out the new zord in our arsenal as well as get something from the Pacific." He'd then look out the window with a small smile and say, "I am glad we were able to finish the testing because, by the looks of it, the demons have gotten stronger as well."

"It was strange; it appeared as if what we fought appeared to be another fusion of tech and whatever the demons are, like Destra," Melissa states as she gives a confused look.

As they arrived at the door, the door was opened, revealing a dog-like humanoid in a suit: "You must be here to meet with your friend." The trio nods their heads.

"Your the chief of the Hosu Police Department," said Melissa as she looked at him. The chief would nod his head and say, "Ah yes, judging by your uniforms, you guys are the S.R.F." The trio would nod his head. "Although I may have been a little hesitant to use the SRF's methods before requesting your assistance in our city, now I feel relief for what you have accomplished. If you could give my regards to rangers and thank them for making my home safer." The trio beams there heads with pride as Izuku nods his head. "We will, sir."

Nodding his head, the chief walked away from the floor, leaving the rangers on their own. 'Hope Ida is not in to much trouble?' Izuku wonders as he then opens the door to reveal Ida with a down face. The bedridden student would look up to find Izuku and others there as well.

"Hey Ida." Izuku says as they enter the room.

Random Warehouse

"Did you take care of it?" asked one of the people in the warehouse. "Indeed, the rat will not sing again, if I understand correctly."

"Good, here's your cut from this month's job. At Acorn, we offer competitive compensation to our allies." The man in the suit brings out a suitcase full of money, but before he could get the money, the door to the warehouse opens, followed by a plethora of smoke. "What's going on?" The group of criminals would pull out their weapons and fire at the entrance of the door, hoping to kill whoever was behind him. What they did not notice was that one by one the goons started to be picked off by a whip, leaving only the crooked detective left.

"What the hell?" the detective said as he ran out of ammo for his gun. The sounds of footsteps could be heard behind him. A sweat pops out of his forehead as he turns around only to see the Black Ranger staring at him. "Boo," he says, scaring the detective as he tries to run away to the entrance. However, as he got to the entrance, he was intercepted by the pink ranger, who punched him in the gut, knocking him to his knees. "Your not going anywhere," she says as she puts cuffs on the cop.

"How did you find me?" said the detective. But before the rangers could answer, another voice could be heard: "You were sloppy, and if you were a good detective, you should have checked for hidden cameras," said Naomasa. "Now then, you and your friends have a new meeting to get to, and it may last 25 to life."

Chapter End

AN:

And with that, the hero killer arc is over. Why was Stain beaten easily? Well, his weapons are all not ranger grade, and the fact he can't cut through the suit helps—no blood, no quirk.

This arc was really hard to write, but after trying something new, I think I can continue the story at a more normal pace. Hopefully I'm ready to shine some new light on this story sooner.

Speaking of new, check out my new story, Wish Upon A Star, for more ranger action.
