Chapter Text
POV Izuku Midoriya
I paced the main room of the Command Center as Nezu and Ms. Kayama walked in with Eraserhead.
“How did it go?” I asked, anxious since they told me that they were going to be arresting my mother as well as everyone at Aldara, despite both arrests happening yesterday I still wasn’t informed of much since.
“Your mother was easily arrested for child abuse and neglect, we arrested all of the teachers at Aldara however one student managed to escape,” Nezu said.
“Katsuki Bakugou managed to overpower me through brute strength despite his quirk being erased. Also a spectral Lion appeared around him. Does that match a quirk that you know of there?” Eraserhead asked.
“Bakugou escaped?” I asked. “I knew this was going to happen, now he’s going to come after me and beat me to a pulp and then he’ll steal the Master Morpher and destroy it. This is all my fault he-” I started mumbling before the last thing he said made a flicker of recollection go off in my head. “You said a spectral Lion?” I asked, deciding to focus on that since it reminded me of a person from the Database.
“Yes, who’s quirk is it?” He asked.
“No one there has a quirk like that, but I don’t think it’s a quirk,” I said going to the terminal and accessing the Legendary Database and pulling up an entry. “Like this?”
A video of a dark haired boy who took down another boy in a spar played and a spectral lion appeared over him and I paused the video.
“Exactly, who is this?” Ms. Kayama said.
“Jarrod, the Black Lion Warrior spirit of the Jungle Fury Rangers. He’s not necessarily a Power Ranger, but his body was taken over by Dai Shi who utilized his powers. He was able to connect to the Black Lion spirit,” I read from the database. “The Black Lion Spirit shouldn’t be here though, it’s directly connected to the Morphin Grid but this world isn’t.”
“ Actually, ” DECA interrupted. “ Since our arrival and your first use of the Master Morpher this world has slowly become connected to the Morphin Grid. It is possible that the Black Lion spirit has become connected here too. ”
“Wait, then that means that we could deal with others who don’t have a morpher gaining access to the grid,” I realized.
“Worry not Izuku, between DECA and I we should be able to locate them quickly working together!” Tensou said. “We will start searching for his energy now!”
“Oh, um I was curious about when could I start working on how to control the Zords with the other Rangers,” I said, trying to distract myself from what was happening.
“Ah, I apologize but I can’t allow them to do so yet. Since you are a personal student of a UA teacher you have access to a safe environment for you to train, however they aren’t so they don’t have the same access,” Nezu explained. “Still, should you feel like you need it during the exam feel free to use it.”
I then got an alert on my communicator.
“Crap, I forgot we were going to meet up before working out, see you,” I said, quickly rushing out of the door.
I jogged down the road to a nearby cafe. I walked in to see the rest were already sitting down at a table.
“Midoriya, why are you late?” Ilda asked.
“Sorry, Nezu and them stopped by to talk about some things and I lost track of time,” I said, sitting down next to Tokage and across from Kirishima.
“What were you talking about?” Kendo asked.
“Have you guys heard about the school that got shut down and everyone was arrested the other day?”
“Yeah, they did some really shitty things according to the news,” Jirou said.
“I went to that school until a week ago, I had gathered evidence against them for years and finally sent it to Nezu. He started tutoring me while investigating them. However one of my main tormentors got away, and the power he unlocked is connected to the Morphin Grid similar to our morphers, but he might be able to morpher without one,” I explained.
“Oh my god, are you alright?” Melissa asked.
“Yeah, just hoping that if he does find me he can’t break into the Command Center.”
“What about your house?” Kirishima asked.
“I don’t live there anymore. My mom wasn’t a good mother because I was quirkless. When the HPSC tried to buy my morpher she tried to force me to sell it. It ended with a huge argument and I had DECA send me to the Command Center and Nezu arrested her as well.”
“How are you as kind and pure as you are?” Tokage asked.
“I guess I’ve always had a strong sense of justice,” I admitted.
“So, was that all you had talked about?” Ilda asked.
“No, we got to the topic of Zords-”
“When can we start?” Tokage asked, excited at the aspect of giant dinosaurs.
“Nezu said that you won’t be able to use them until you get to UA for a safe place to practice moving with them. Don’t worry, once we get into UA I’ll show you. They aren’t too difficult once you get the hang of it,” I said.
“Wait, so have you been practicing with them?” Melissa asked.
“A bit, I thought that if I knew how to work them it would be easier to teach you how to,” I explained.
“Smart, even though it does give you a head start,” Ilda said.
Suddenly all of our communicators went off.
“What is it?” I asked.
“Rangers, there’s a bunch of monsters attacking Tokyo! Heroes are trying to hold them off but they are facing Z-Putties and Tyrannodrones! You need to get there now and help them! There’s also a monster commanding them!”
“We’re on our way!” I said, quickly pulling out a bunch of yen and placing it on the table.
We rushed outside and I led us to the alleyway next to the building.
“It’s Morphin Time!” I called out. “Tigerzord!”
“Go Galactic! Galactic Pink!”
“Red Ranger, Rescue Ready!”
“Go Go Samurai! Yellow Ranger Ready!”
“Tiger Fury, Green Ranger!”
“Stego Fury, Black Ranger!”
“Tricera Fury, Blue Ranger!”
All of us were teleported to the center of Tokyo and saw a number of people attacking bystanders and civilians. While the heroes were trying to fight them with their quirks they seemed to be immune to their powers.
“Dino Fury Rangers, go help the heroes. Red and Yellow, go help the civilians. Pink come with me,” I said, noticing the one who seemed to be commanding them.
The two of us charged towards him. I drew Saba and held it out.
“Who are you and what are you doing?” I demanded.
“I was warned that Power Rangers would be arriving! I am Goldenrod! I was told that if I managed to kill you and claim the morphers he would bring my father back too!” he said, summoning a double bladed spear.
“ Be careful! He almost took out the whole team of Dino Thunder Rangers solo! ” Tensou said through the communicator.
“Who warned you?”
“It would be pointless once I kill you!” he said, charging us.
I quickly locked weapons with him while Melissa shot her Beta Bow and hit him.
“Ooh, that tickled!” he said, kicking me back. “Take this!” he yelled, shooting lightning at me.
“Gah!” I shouted as I was thrown back.
“Hmm, a bit more defense than I was expecting.”
“Texas SMASH!” a booming voice called out as a blast of air shot past me.
I looked up to see All Might standing behind Goldenrod.
“Was that supposed to hurt me? Let me show you real power!” Goldenrod said, shooting lightning at All Might who was surprised that his attack didn’t work.
All Might leaped over him and landed next to me.
“How can someone not be affected by an attack by me?” he asked.
“Simple, him, along with all of these goons, are immune to anything from quirks for some reason. Nezu and I haven’t figured out why yet,” I explained.
“You’re working for Nezu?”
“With, kinda, it’s weird. Just focus on the civilians, if you do that I can have my team help me focus on these guys,” I said.
“Wanna know what, I think it’s time I crush you like ants!” Goldenrod declared, jumping up and flipping as he started to grow bigger, and bigger, and bigger.
“How are we going to deal with this? He’s enormous!” Melissa said, rushing over to me.
“Melissa, what are you doing here? How do you have these powers?” All Might asked.
“Not important! We got a bunch of guys down here and a giant dude who's trying to kill us!” she yelled.
“You all focus down here, I’ll get him,” I said. “DECA, send me the White Tiger Zord, Dragonzord, and Dino Thunder Zords!”
“They are on their way.”
I turned and looked as several giant robotic creatures started running towards us. I hopped into the White Tiger Zord and hooked Saba up as I pulled out my Dragon Dagger and played a tune.
“Time for White Tiger Dragonzord!” I said as the Dragonzord and White Tiger Zords combined into one. “Saba, you take control of this for me.”
“Yes.”
I hopped out and pulled out my morpher.
“Brachio Power! Black Ranger!” I said, transforming into the Black Dino Thunder Ranger. “Triceramax Megazord!” I said, leaping into the cockpit as they all combined into the Zord. “Let’s do this! Tricera Lance!” I said, attacking him with the lance.
“Oh, two on one and I’ll still win!” Goldenrod said, blocking my attack with his spear.
“Tricera Cyclone!” I said, sending a cyclone of yellow energy at him.
“Woah,” he said, stabbing his spear into the ground to stop from being blown away.
“NOW!” I said, quickly grabbing him and holding his arms behind his back. “Dragon Thunder Blast!”
The White Tiger Dragonzord shot a red energy beam from the chest cannon.
“NO!” Goldenrod yelled as I quickly moved out of the way. “I suppose I’ll see my father again,” he added soberly before exploding.
I quickly lept out of the Zords as they returned to their storage place in the Command Center. I looked around and saw that all of the Putties and Tyrannodrones were gone.
“Melissa, I need you to give me the device that you are using. The HPSC has commanded me to take control of all of them from you,” All Might said.
“Actually you won’t be,” I said, interjecting.
“These are dangerous devices, and if these creatures keep appearing then heroes will need them. So they have commanded me to get as many as possible because they will give them to heroes,” he said.
“The HPSC has no right to legally claim their morphers. I’ve already ensured as much already,” Nezu said, walking towards us. “I’ve also been working with locating suitable heroes for them since there’s more to it then just giving someone a morpher,” Nezu added.
“Sir, might I ask why children were given them?”
“Simple, the person who sent them to this universe set them to locate suitable users that match the rules of the original team of Power Rangers he was part of. Teenagers with attitudes,” Nezu explained.
“Wait, you honestly believe that these are from another universe? Sir, have you actually gone crazy? ” All Might asked. “ This boy must’ve done something to brainwash you or something. His quirk has managed to fool yours.”
“Kinda hard when I don’t have one,” I said.
“You seriously want me to believe that you’re quirkless?”
“Does this remind you? Can a person without a quirk be a hero? ” I asked, watching as his face fell a bit.
“It’s you?”
“Hey, is it just me or is it getting late for you?” I asked.
“I should be off. Nezu, can we have a meeting later?”
“Actually, I needed to set one up with you anyways about that ,” Nezu said.
“Alright, I am off!” he shouted, launching off.
“I need to have a meeting with everyone now,” I said, looking at Nezu.
“Let us go to the Command Center then,” he said as we were all teleported.
“So, during the fight Goldenrod said something that made me think about a possibility,” I said, as we all de-morphed.
“Is that who you were fighting?” Eraserhead asked.
“Yes, he mentioned something about him reviving his father,” I explained. “I think that this him could be the person who has managed to summon hordes from previous rangers' enemies. They might have the ability to connect or do something with the Morphin Grid. He might even have hitched a ride through the hole ripped through the universes when the Command Center was pulled in.”
“Hmm, while I see your point I don’t think that is what happened, because then he would’ve just immediately attacked. I believe that he might’ve been here before and planned an attack, but your arrival was not expected and so he changed his plans,” Nezu countered.
“So, the HPSC now has heroes coming after our morphers?” Kendo asked.
“Yup, sounds like it,” Tokage agreed.
“Why is that?” Kirshima asked.
“Simple, they are power hungry and want anything they can get their hands on,” Midnight muttered.
“Nezu, can you gather those on the list we made soon? If this threat is as great as we believe then we need to prepare,” I said.
“Agreed,” Nezu said. “I will gather them as soon as possible. Aizawa, Kayama, I will need your assistance in gathering all of them.”
“Fine, as long as in the end it takes some off my plate in the future,” Eraserhead said.
“In the long run it will, but you will have to add some for a bit unfortunately.”
“Dang it.”
“Well, we are off, work to do,” Nezu said, leaving with Midnight and Eraserhead.
“This is impossible!” Tensou exclaimed, rolling into the room.
“What?” I asked.
“Even though the Black Lion Spirit is in this world I can’t sense it anywhere! I can’t sense any other connection to the Morphin Grid other than those here. It’s like his presence is being hidden,” Tensou explained.
“What could cause that?” I asked.
“Nothing! Not anything I know of at least,” he said, calming down a bit.
“It could be a quirk, they are new to you right?” Ilda asked.
“Indeed, but what kind of ability would be able to mess with the Morphin Grid?” Tensou asked. “DECA is currently trying to locate anything but has been unable to do so thus far.”
“I don’t think we should worry about this for now. Let’s focus on passing the UA entrance exam,” Melissa said. “We can worry about it later.”
“Agreed, that would be the best path to the future,” Ilda said.
