XXXXXXXXX

Cyrus rolled along the ground, then got up and stared at Madame Woe, who floated through the broken hole. "You don't frighten me. I know all of you abilites by now." He declared firmly, pointing his Sea Lance at his foe.

"Are you sure about that, Little Boy Blue?" Madame Woe snarled in anger as her jewel glowed once more. 

"What...?" Cyrus uttered as he tensed up for action.

"I summon the power of the storm to strike down upon my foe!" She chanted as lightning came down from the sky and onto her hands as she then launched it towards Cyrus.

"Uh oh!" Cyrus exclaimed, quickly holding up his weapon just as the attack slammed down upon his location. He gritted his teeth hard as he tried to hold back the attack with his Sea Lance.

His feet skidded a foot or two backward before the blue Ranger set his feet and stopped again. With a yell, Cyrus delivered a heavy blow to the blast and sent it hurling behind him, where it exploded into a massive burst of power.

Cyrus then tried to hit her with his Sea Lance, only for her to knock it up, then knock him aside.

"AH!" Cyrus moaned, hitting the ground.

"No one escapes Madam Woe." Madame Woe said, floating over towards him.

He rolled along it, then got up and stared at Madame Woe.

"Now you'll feel the sting of my anger." she said.

She then jumped into the air and flew towards Cyrus, who jumped and tried to hit her, but she teleported at the last second, arriving behind him, laughing.

"Ha! Over here!" she said.

Cyrus turned and tried to stab her, only for her to teleport again, and then again, as Cyrus tried to slash her. He turned to her, but she knocked his Sea Lance up, then she slashed him down the chest, knocking him down.

"Uh!" Cyrus moaned, rolling along the ground.

He got back up, then jumped and tried to hit her, but she disappeared in a wind cloud, but he could still hear her laughing. He was then blown back by a strong wind, causing him to head straight into a wall.

"AAGH!" he yelled.

When he got to the wall, however, he kicked his feet against it and dived to Madame Woe to stab her before Madame Woe slashed Cyrus three times with her nails, knocking him away.

"Ah!" he moaned.

He fell onto his back, then got up to his knees, as Madame Woe then slashed upwards diagonally.

"Hyah!" she roared.

The slash hit Cyrus across the chest, making lighting come out of him.

"AHH!" he moaned before smoke came up in front of him. "AH!" He hit the ground on his side, then rolled onto his back, as Madame Woe floated at ease.

"Hmph, you're not as formidable as the last Blue Ranger." Madame Woe commented. "You've met your match. Give it up."

Cyrus struggled to stand, grunting as he did.

"I refuse!" He retorted, getting up. "My friends are counting on me to win this so they can return home! I won't let them down!"

He then held his arms out slightly as his body lit up with a blue aura.

"What?" Madame Woe gasped in shock.

Water began to swirl around Cyrus Sea Lance before densing into a sharp edge. "Tsunami Blast!" He called out and thursted his weapon forward, sending out a massive wave of water.

"Wah!" Madame Woe had no chance of escaping the rushing water and was swept out of the air. The current was so strong that it burst through the windows of the building and washed down to the ground below.

When the water settled, the entire floor was wet as several puddles remained from the attack.

Hearing coughing, Cyrus turned and found Madame Woe embedded in the wall, but she seemed to be struggling to move. Her jewel was no longer active. She was panting heavily, and her arms looked like they would give out any moment.

She was struggling to get up as well, but she just couldn't find the strength. Getting thrashed around by torrents of water can do that to people.

 'I hope that will give me enough time to get that jewel from her forehead.' Cyrus mentally spoke as he rushed over and snatched the crystal jewel off Madame Woe's forehead.

"No, my jewel!" She cried out.

Cyrus then jumped back before crushing the crystal in his hands, turning it into dust.

Meanwhile, the other Rangers were waiting for Cyrus' voice.

"Guys! I destroyed her jewel! You'll be free in a second!" Cyrus said.

"Alright, everyone ready?" Sora asked.

"Yes/Sure am!" the girls and Kiba said before the latter clicked his heels together.

 "There's no place like home. There's no place like home."

The room started spinning again, making them all wobble.

"Ah!" they yelped.

They all soon ended up back in the building Cyrus and Madame Woe were.

"Oh!" they yelped as they stopped shaking.

"We're back!" Sora shouted. "Let's go!"

"Yeah!" said Reina.

"Let's do it!" Kiba agreed with a thumbs up. 

"All right." said Ayumi.

Sora somersaulted forward, followed by Reina, Kiba, and Ayumi, all landing near Cyrus, as Madame Woe watched on.

"Good job, pal!" Sora complimented as he patted Cyrus' back.

"Did you give her a few good hits for me?" Reina asked Cyrus with anticipation in her voice.

"Is that good enough for you?" Cyrus answered her question with a question of his own as he nodded his head towards where Madame Woe was.

The other Rangers looked and were instantly surprised by the state the elemental witch is in.

"Whoa!" Kiba yelled in surprise. "Did you do that, Cy?"

"If so, then I guess that does explain the water puddles." Ayumi added as she took notice of the puddles on the floor. 

 "Forget impressed. I'm so proud of our little tech wizard!" Reina said as she patted Cyrus' back before giving him a quick one-armed hug. 

 "I will not stand for this!" Madame Woe screeched as she struggled to climb out of the wall. "I will not be humiliated again by a bunch of Rangers!" 

"Seems to me that you just were, Madame Woe!" Cyrus shouted, pointing at her.

"Let's put this witch down!" Sora yelled as he held up his sword. "Pyro Sword!" He shot forward as hot flames engulfed around the blade. He then slashed Madame Woe before stabbing his weapon next to her and focusing some of his power into his Pyro Sword to blast her out of the wall. 

 Then, Reina was the next to attack. "Terra Axe!" She yelled and spun her body around along with her axe, slashing Madame Woe across the body several times. 

 "Savanna Claws!" Kiba shouted, slashing into the witch's stomach twice with electrical energy and making her skid backward before coming to a stop. 

 "Sky Bowgun!" Ayumi called out before jumping into the air and fired several pink lasers at the ground around Madame Woe, creating explosions that knocked her to the ground. 

 "Sea Lance!" Cyrus shouted as he swung his around and rushed at Madame Woe in a burst of water to jab the witch across the side in an instant. 

 "ARGHHH!" She screamed out in absolute pain from attack, leaving enough time for the Rangers to finish her off. 

"Let's bring them together!" Sora ordered.

 "WEAPONS COMBINE!" 

The five weapons flew into the air as they began to combine together into one super weapon. The Sky Bowgun was faced horizontally as the Savanna Claws were launched and connected onto both sides of the Bowgun, facing forward, acting as additional barrels for the cannon. The Sea Lance then connected to the front of the Bowgun, similar to an arrow. Finally, the Pyro Sword was locked in on top of the weapon, similar to where an arrow would be placed in a crossbow as the Terra Axe connected to the front of the Bowgun's handle, with the bottom half facing forward. 

 "Justice Striker!" The Rangers shouted before Sora aimed it at Madame Woe, as Reina and Kiba crouched down and held up the end of it, as Cyrus and Ayumi touched Sora's shoulders to hold him in place.

 Madame Woe's eyes widened in pure horror at the sight of the weapon as an image of the Mighty Morphin Rangers flashed before her eyes. "Oh, not again!" 

 "Fire!" The Rangers shouted before Sora pulled the trigger.The Justice Striker immediately sent out a powerful, rainbow-colored laser beam and hit Madame Woe dead on, which caused an explosion and made the witch scream out in pain again.

 "AH!" She moaned. "Nooo! It wasn't supposed to go this way again! Curse you, Power Rangers! Oh, woe is me!" She then fell on her chest and exploded into a pile of ashes.As the smoke began to clear away, the Rangers saw that nothing remained of Madame Woe but a mere crater with steam coming from it.

"Woo! So long, Wicked Witch of the East!" Kiba cheered as he pumped his fist into the air.

"Don't you mean 'Wicked Witch of the West'?" Ayumi asked him. 

"At least we don't have to worry about flying monkeys." Sora snorted out loud.

It was then a beeping sound from caught their attention, causing them to head back into the room that has the bomb and notice how it looks a lot different than the usual fake weapon from the previous matches and how the timer's counting down.

Ayumi pointed at the timer. "Umm... what happened to the fake weapon, and why does it look like it's counting down?" She asked nervously.

"Crud, I nearly forgot!" Cryus yelled before rushing over to the weapon and began to look over it. "Scrozzle turned it into a real explosive that has the potential to wipe out the whole school!"

Reina blinked at this. "You mean we've got a nuke in our school?!"  

"Cy, please tell me you can disarm this thing!" Sora said.

"Disarming a bomb in seven minutes?" Cyrus asked. "Difficult, but not impossible! Problem is, I'm not an expert on handling alien technology. The only person is--- Katrina!!! Get Kat on the communicator!"

"On it!" The Red Ranger nodded as he brought his Morpher up to his face. "Kat, we've got a problem here." He spoke into the device.

"Does that have anything to do with communications in the Monitor Room being disrupted?" The A.I. questioned. 

 Hearing that surprised the Rangers, who didn't know about that.  "Wait, what? Seriously?" Reina asked exasperatedly.

"Principal Nezu told me that All Might thinks the reason why he can't see you on the cameras or contact you is because he believes that Alsatia's blocking communications." Katrina answered back.

Ayumi hummed in thought. "That makes sense for her to do that since she really didn't want anyone to stop Scrozzle from putting a bomb in our school." 

"Wait, what?!" Katrina exclaimed in shock. "What bomb?"

"That's the reason why we called you." Kiba spoke up next. "We were hoping you could help Cy disarm the bomb before it could destroy our school and our classmates."

"Okay, say no more," Their mentor firmly said. "Cyrus, since I can't physically disarm Scrozzle's bomb; I'll walk you through the steps, and hopefully, you'll have no problem disarming it." Cyrus nodded in gratitude. 

"Okay. What do I have to do first?" The Blue Ranger asked.

 "Please wait while I scan the explosive so we'll know what we're working with." Katrina replied as she started to scan the device in order to get a better understanding of it. "Alright. I'll send the layout to your visor."

A download bar appeared in front of Cyrus' vision as it filled up rapidly to 100% with the blueprints on display. "Got it!" He nodded, quickly moving to open up the compactor that held the wires.

 Everyone watched as Cyrus began fiddling with the device, desperately trying to disarm the bomb as he sweated profusely.

Kiba's gaze looked up at the timer and saw it was now at T-mins five minutes until detonation.

"Uh, Cy...?" Kiba asked, growing nervous. Cyrus ignored him and continued to work on disabling the weapon.

T-minus 2 minutes until detonation...

"Anytime now, Cy!" Kiba shouted.

"Shut up, Kiba!" Reina snapped as Cyrus continued his work.

T-MINUS 10 SECONDS!

Kiba closed his eyes and waited for the end, but before the timer could finish the countdown, it was suddenly cut off. Kiba opened his eyes to find that Cyrus had disarmed the bomb.

"Power Down!" The team said as their Ranger suits suddenly vanished, reverting them back into their civilian hero uniforms.

"You did it!" Ayumi cheered in glee.

"Way to go, buddy." Sora said, patted his friend's shoulder.

"See? Told you it wasn't impossible." Cyrus said, smirking confidently.

"Ha, I never doubted you for a second!" Kiba said.

"Sure, you didn't." Cyrus replied, rolling his eyes. 

"So, does this mean we passed?" Reina asked, getting everyone's attention. "I mean, the goal was to secure the weapon."

"Power Rangers!" The team all turned around to see All Might appear behind them with a concerned look on his face. "Are you alright!?"

 "All Might?" The Rangers blinked at the No.1 Hero's appearance. 

 "What are you doing here?" Ayumi questioned with a head tilt. 

 "I had a feeling that something was wrong when comminucations were cut off." All Might replied as he walked over to them. "I figured Alsatia might've had something to do with this."

Reina scratched her cheek. "Well, you're not wrong." She told him.

"Scrozzle was able to bypass U.A security and cut off all communications, just so he could wire this weapon into an actual bomb." Cyrus added, gesturing to the object behind them.

"With some help from the past." Ayumi joined in, thinking back to Madame Woe.

"Thankfully, Cy and Kat were able to disarm it before it could detonate." Sora spoke up as well.

All Might narrowed his eyes in shock and anger. "This enemy sounds bolder than I thought. If they can infiltrate U.A this easy, they could invade whenever they see fit." All Might grimaced at the thought. 

 "Shouldn't we inform Principal Nez about this?" Kiba suggested.

"No worries, I shall take on that task." Katrina said through the Morphers. "For now, you all should get back to class and we'll discuss our next move at a later time."

"She's right. I think you kids have done enough after today." All Might stated.

"Well, I'm not arguing." Sora said, stretching his arms above his head. "Come on, guys."

He began to make his way out as the others followed behind him. Though just before they could move further...

"And before I forget, Young Ukashi. You and your friends have passed." All Might announced, giving the team a thumbs up. "Consider this a full A+ for protecting the school!"

This caused smiles to form on each Ranger's face as they took in the Pro's words. "Alright!" They cheered as they peformed a group high-five.

Later...

With the Battle Trials now over, All Might and the Rangers now stood where the rest of the students are at. "That's a wrap! Super work. You really stepped up to the plate. And, we didn't have any major injuries, except for Midoriya. You should be proud. Excellent first day of training, all around!" All Might praised.

"It's nice to hear some encouraging words after our homeroom class. Mr. Aizawa was kind of a buzzkill." Tsuyu said.

"I'm happy to bring such staggering positivity to my alma mater! That's all for now, folks. I should go and check on Young Midoriya's progress! Now, watch as a Pro exits. Like he's got somewhere to be!" All Might said enthusiastically and ran from the students so fast, that they were amazed by it. 

"Man, I'll say it again. That guy knows how to make an entrance." Said Kiba as Reina and Cyrus nod while Ayumi and Sora just looked at where All Might left.

"I hope he'll be alright after this." Ayumi whispered, feeling concerned when she noticed steam coming off of All Might's body."I'm sure he'll be fine." Sora reassured her with a smile.

Then, the sound of the school speaker caught their attention as Principal Nezu's voice was heard all over the school. 

 "Attention, everyone! Would Sora Ukashi, Cyrus Hado, Reina Fukukado, Kiba Mason, and Ayumi Suzuni report to my office? Please and thank you!"

The Rangers blinked multiple times from this, as well as the other students. "The principal wants to see you guys?" Sero asked.

"Did you guys do something wrong?" Jiro asked as she gazed at the team.

Ayumi shook her head. "Not that we know of."

Cyrus pondered over something before looking at his friends. "Do you think...?"

"Most likely, yeah."  Kiba nodded whole-heartedly

"No doubt." Reina chimed in.

"Then, let's not leep the boss man waiting." The HF Leader replied before heading towards Nezu's office. "Come on, guys!"

Then, the other Rangers followed right behind him out of the students' sights.

Kaminari and Kirishima exchanged confused looks at each other. "What was that all about?" the spiky red-head boy asked, to which the blonde-haired boy only shrugs his shoulders.

Shoto continued to stare at the direction the Rangers disappeared to with his eyes narrowing in suspicion

U.A. - Principal Nezu's Office

In the office of Principal Nezu, the Hero Force Rangers were explaining everything that happened in their Battle Trial as they sat down.

"My, sounds like you all had quite the experience." Nezu said with smile, as he enjoyed the story the Rangers told him. "Not even Pros yet, but you're still accomplishing so much in only a short amount time." 

"Thank you for such kind words, principal Nezu." Cyrus said with a bow.

"You know, I'm really starting to think you're playing favorites here." Reina couldn't help but comment.

"Do you mean how he made us fight holograms instead of our classmates for our match?" Kiba asked her.

"Seems like he wanted to show you guys off to your class." Katrina spoke as her A.I form floated in the room.

"Yeah, I don't think students normally see this much of you, principal Nezu." Ayumi agreed with her hands in her lap.

"Well, maybe they should!" Nezu countered with joyful expression. "Being principal isn't as busy a job as you might think, and I'd never turn away a student who wants to learn."

Kiba and Katrina just laughed, shaking their heads in amusement.

"What?" Nezu asked with a smirk. "Do I need to hand out engraved invitations or something? Principal or not, I'm still a teacher at this school."

"Man, I love this guy!" Kiba laughed as he leaned back in his seat.

"So, was there something you need, Nezu?" Sora wondered, once the laughter died down. "I doubt you would've called the Rangers here just for chat if it wasn't important."

"Need? Not at all!" Nezu replied. "Want? Well, there's this nice little coffee shop I know that does amazing crumpets, I'd love one of them. I'd like for villains to just stop already, but that would end up with half the heroes out of work! I have many wants, but doesn't everyone?"

"I guess." Sora said while rubbing his head.

"Now, as for right now, there is something I wanted to discuss with you all." Nezu said as he gazed at the team.

 "I'm assuming it's about what we've told you about what happened during our Battle Trial?" Cyrus guessed.

"That's correct," Nezu sighed before continuing. "I still find it hard to believe that Alsatia's forces have managed to infiltrate our school just to destroy it with a dangerous explosive. Who knows how many lives would have been lost if you all didn't disarm it before it could detonate?" 

 Reina narrowed her eyes at the ground as she added in her thoughts. "And I'm willing to bet that she'll do it again." 

"For sure. The fact that they got onto U.A's campus just confirms it." Sora nodded grimly.

"So, what are we going to about it?" Ayumi asked the big question. "How are we going to make sure Alsatia doesn't do this again so our friends don't get hurt, or worse?"

"I'm glad that you asked, Ayumi." Everyone turned their attention to Katrina. "After Principal Nezu told me what happened when you all were taking part in the Battle Trial, I put out an trans-dimensional message asking for some assistance. If we're lucky, hopefully someone will be glad to help us with our current situation."

Cyrus blinked at this.. "Wait, you're trying to get help from another dimension?"

Before Katrina could reply, she got an alert from the Command Chamber. "Hold please." And just like that, she disappeared. 

 The Rangers and Principal Nezu looked at each other in confusion, silently wondering what that was about. 

 After what felt like a couple of minutes of awkward silence, Katrina came back. "I apologize for making you all wait. I just got a response from my call and once I tell her where U.A. High is, she'll be glad to help us." 

 'She?' Even though the Rangers were glad that someone from another dimension is willing to help them, they couldn't but wonder who got Katrina's call. 

 "That's wonderful news!" Nezu happily exclaimed. "May I ask who our mystery ally is?"

 "Someone who not only has some experience dealing with Scrozzle, but can also help us make sure Alsatia's forces won't infiltrate U.A. again." Katrina hinted. "Just don't freak out when she teleports here."

Soon, a portal suddenly opened up in front of the group and from it emerged a silhouette. It looked like a human-sized Solonosaurus with brown cybernatics body parts that took one step forward and looked around. 

 "Oh my! Where am I? I do hope I'm in the right place." The dinosaur spoke with a feminine tone.

The Rangers stood there shocked as they can't believe their eyes. Cyrus's glasses fell down to the bridge of his nose, and became slightly cracked. Reina and Ayumi looked at each other and blinked as they looked at the cyborg dinosaur. Kiba rubbed his eyes and shook his head while Sora blinked various times...

"SOLON!?" They all exclaimed, taking the prehistoric reptile back.

The dinosaur, now Solon, looked over at the team. "That's correct, and you must be the Rangers Katrina told me about. I hope you don't mind me saying this, but you're much younger than some of the other Rangers that I've met. Although, that might explain why you five have so much energy." 

Cyrus was the first to move up to Solon. "It's a pleasure to meet you in the flesh. I'm a huge fan of your work." He spoke in admiration, holding out a hand.

"Oh my. Well, it's nice to meet someone like you.." Solon smiled as she shook the blunette's hand.

 Kiba snickered. "Cy's not kidding about being your fan. The dude liked your Ranger hotline idea that he literally turned it into a phone app." 

 Hearing what Kiba said caused Cyrus to blush with embarrassment as he struggled to find the right words to say.

"Is that so?" Solon asked with interest. "That's impressive. With an idea like that, helping citizens would make things easier for you all."

Cyrus rubbed his nose, pleased by this compliment as Reina nudged his shoulder.

"Ohhhh, now this is an interesting turn of events." Nezu commented with a smile as his eyes sparkled from glee.

Solon turned her attention to the principal. "Pardon me, I didn't realize we had company." She said back. "And who might you be?"

"I'm the principal of this school, Nezu." The small animal Pro replied as he raised a paw. "Now then, onto business. Ms. Solon, was it? I assume Katrina has already told you why you are here?"

"Indeed, she did. Imagine my surprise when she told me that Scrozzle has been running around in your universe causing all sorts of trouble." Solon replied, recalling all of the times her team ecountering the robotic inventor.

"Seems that after Lord Zedd was stopped, he had no one else to kiss up too." Sora assumed, folding his arms. 

"So he crossed over into our universe and teamed up with Alsatia." Reina joined in as she sat on the sofa's right arm.

 "Not only giving her knowledge about the Power Rangers, but also giving her an endless supply of monsters and villains for her to command." Cyrus added with a grimace.

"Which makes this situation a lot more dangerous." Ayumi finished while playing with a strand of her hair.

"That's not good." Solon muttered at the news. "In fact, I'm afraid it's more serious than I thought." She turned to the group and cleared her throat.

"So, do you have an idea on what we can do?" Kiba asked her.

"Hmm. Well, since you asked, I could help set up a force field around the school that should prevent this Alsatia character, Scrozzle, or any monster they might have from teleporting in here and causing havoc." Solon answered.

"Whoa, really!?"

"If I have the necessary materials, I can have it done in a day." Solon said wth confidence.

"In a day? That's nuts!" Reina exclaimed, impressed.

"I mean, she basically built all of the Dino Fury Rangers' gear, right?" Ayumi pointed out. "Creating a force is probably child's play for her. 

"Well, it's a real shame that none of us has a "state of the art" chamber where she could work her magic." Sora responded jokingly.

Solon looked on in surprise. "Really? Are you sure about this?"

"We need all the help we can get and in return we're willing to help however we can, if it means giving you full access to our Command Chamber." Katrina  confirmed.

"Katrina's right." Ayumi agreed  with a nod. "Our headquarters even has a guest room that you can use if you're going to be here for a while."

Solon took in their words before replying.  "Well, that's mighty kind of you all. If it's alright with you, do you mind if I contact my team and let them know about what I'm going to be doing? I hate to let them worry about little old me."

"Of course."

"Seems like things are moving along quite well. " Nezu muttered to himself as he watched on.

XXXXXXXXXXX

U.A High - Afternoon

"Man, what a surprising turn of events! I can't believe we met and are alongside with a previous mentor." Cyrus gushed as he and the other Rangers walked down the hall.

After getting their passes written by Nezu, the team all changed back into their school uniforms and now made their way back to class...all while Cyurs was nerding out over the conversation with Solon.

"Wow, I haven't seen him geek out this much since he learned about that David Shield guy's inventions." Reina whispered to the others, who all wore amused grins.

 "Can't say I blame him." Kiba laughed. "It's not every day that we get work alongside a past Ranger team's mentor, let alone a real dinosaur!"

"Not to mention we'll have a better defense against Scrozzle should he come again." Sora added in when he noticed that they were now approaching the classroom door. 

Pushing open the door, the Rangers walked in and caught the attention of everyone when Kirishima exclaimed. "Hey, you're back!"

The team was a little surprised when they were approached by the redhead, Sero, Mina, Sato, and Tsuyu.

"So what did the principal say to you guys?" Sato asked. "You're not in trouble or anything, right?"

"Oh, no." Cyrus waved them off reasurringly. "He just wanted to talk to us about something, is all. Nothing too serious, and I guess we lost track of time."

"Huh, I guess that makes sense." Kirishima shrugged.

That's when Ayumi noticed someone was missing. "Is Izuku still not back yet?"

Suddenly, the classroom slid open as everyone turned to see Izuku walk in with his right arm in a cast.

"Or he'll already be on his feet."

"Hey, Freckles!" Reina slapped his back as several other students started to crowd around him. "Great job kicking major ass in your match!"

"O-Oh, Fukukado. Um, thanks." Izuku stuttered out in reply.

"I don't know what you said during the match, but man, you were so fired up!" Kirishima told him. "Hecka manly I'd say!"

"You fought against Bakugo, and the guy's super strong!" Sero added.

"You did such a good job with dodging that giant explosion too!" Mina bounced a little. "It was so cool!"

"Sheesh! With how you guys acted in the first match, the rest of us had to give it our all too!" Sato laughed, with Sero and Kirishima nodding in agreement.

"W-Waahh..." A little overwhelmed was an understatement to how he was feeling. Kirishima grinned once more as he gestured to everyone.

"We were gonna wait until you woke up. We're all going over the training together right now, so you're just in time!"

"Your dodge was awesome!"

"Umm... Ehh..." Izuku couldn't help but panic a little, but smile in return as he entered the classroom.

"You alright there, Midoriya?" Tsuyu popped up from the back as she lean closely towards his arm.

"Geez... You guys are really loud, you know?" Tokoyami shrugged as he sat on a desk. Iida gasped as he begins to valiantly walk towards him.

"Tokoyami!" Iida shouted, catching everyone's attention as he marched over to the bird-headed boy. "Stop using that desk as a chair! Get off it this instant!"

"Dude, you need to chill." Jiro said with a deadpan tone.

"Uh—"

"You're carrying a lot of tension." Ojiro added, pointing at him.

Iida slouched his back a little. "No one understands..." He moaned, before bouncing back up to his normal self. "I cannot condone actions that disrespect these desks. Not when great men and women, our upperclassmen, once used them!"

"You're too loud, dude..." Kiba sighed.

"Ha... Iida never wavers, huh?" Cyrus chuckled.

Ayumi then looked around and noticed someone else missing. "Hey, where's Ochaco?"

"Oh she went with Kamainari to run an errand for Mr. Aizawa." Toru replied. "They should be back by now."

As if to prove her point, The door opened, letting said students enter with pile of heavy volumes in their arms.

"Hey, wanna grab something to eat?" the electric boy asked, a charming smile on his face. "What do you like?"

The brown-haired girl behind him blinked in surprise at the question "Mochi- Hey!!" Completely forgetting about the blond, Ochaco called out as she rushed over to the group. "What happened to you guys? Did you get in trouble or something!?"

Having a sense of déjà vu, Reina stepped forward. "Yeah. Long story short, he wanted to talk with us. Nothing seroius."

"Oh okay." Ochaco nodded before she looked over at the green-haired boy. "Huh? Recovery Girl didn't heal your wounds, Deku?" She observed.

"O-Oh, uh, it's because it would take too much of my stamina to do so." Izuku explained as he began to look around, only to visibly gasp at the lack of Bakugo in the room. "Wait, where's Kacchan?"

"Huh?" The Rangers followed his gaze and saw Bakugo's empty desk.

"That jerk left as soon as the bell rang." Toru sighed.

"We tried to stop him, but he just left for home now without saying anything." Ochaco revealed.

Frowning, Izuku immediately turned and began to run outside.

"Wait, Deku!" Ochaco called out to him, but alas, she could not stop him. Everyone watched as the green haired teen jumped down the stairs, rushing out to catch Bakugo before he left the campus grounds.

"I got it!" Sora spoke, as he started running after the greenette.

"Sora, where are you going?" Ayumi called after the Red Ranger as he took off through the hall.

He got to the entrance to find Izuku standing in the middle of the sidewalk with Bakugo shouting at him. Silently, he hid behind one of the trees adoring the walkway as he listened on.

"Craaap! I even agreed with what that girl said. My attack was so stupid! Dammit. Dammit. Dammit! Enjoy that win Deku. You won't get another, I'm just getting started!" Sora started to hear footsteps walking away, which he assumed were Bakugo if the receding voice was any indication.

"You'll never beat me again you bastard. Don't even try!"

The moment between potential rivals was somewhat ruined by the appearance and voice of the number one hero.

"Baku-Go. I found you!" All Might announced as he placed his hands on the explosive boy's shoulders. "Just so you know pride is an important attribute to have, but while you certainly have the abilities to become a pro hero there's still plenty you have to-"

"Let go of me All Might. Right now." Both Sora and Izuku were wondering what was going on, though they had clearly heard the pro hero start to give a speech before Bakugo interrupted him. "I'll become a hero that surpasses you, even without you telling me!"

"Huh? Uh, okay..." All Might said, letting go of his shoulders. With that, the ash-blonde teen walked away.

"Man, that guy's an ass even when he's down." Sora muttered. He was about to approach Izuku before All Might turned his attention to the green-haired teen and started to tease the poor teen. Sora was going to head back to the classroom before the unexpected shout of All Might reached his ears.

"You told Bakugou what?!" From his hiding place, the brunette could see that the smile that All Might had was strained while Izuku looked a little downtrodden as he responded.

"I'm so sorry. I didn't even tell my mom about this but for some reason I felt like I had to explain it to him. Like it was only fair that he knew." Sora knew it was wrong to eavsedrop. But for some inexplicable reason, couldn't tear himself away from the conversation.

"Don't look so sad. He didn't take you seriously so I don't think he'll say anything. This time I'll let things slide. Just make sure this doesn't happen again. You need to think carefully about the responsibility that comes with this power."

Upon hearing that, Sora looked surprised as he realized that somehow Izuku and his Quirk were more connected to All Might, when his eyes widened as he recalled their conversation from before....

Flashback

"As I was saying before, as my time as the Symbol of Peace is running out, I came to U.A. to find someone to pass on One For All's power...but my search is finally over." All Might told the Rangers.

This confused the team and Katrina. "Why's that?" Sora asked.

"You'll know soon enough." All Might simply told them. "And when you do meet my successor, promise me that you all will keep everything said here a secret from everyone else."

Flashback ends

'So...that means Izuku is All Might's successor?' Sora thought as he narrowed his eyes slightly, retreating back into the school.

"Sora!"

The brunette looked back and saw Ayumi, Cyrus, Reina, and Kiba all running over to him with their bags in tow.

"Don't just run off like that!" Ayumi told him, pouting as she handed the brown-haired boy his backpack. "You left without saying a word."

"Right, sorry about that." Sora chuckled embarrassingly as he put his backpack on. "I was merely checking on Izuku, just in case a fight between him and Bakugo broke out, but All Might was already there."

"Really? Did something happen?" Reina asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Not really." Sora simply replied. 

"...Okay, whatever you say." Reina said, not fully believing him and thinking there's more than he let on.

Kiba stretched his arms above his head and groaned. "With that taken care of, can we head home now? It's been a really long day and I need some beauty sleep."

"I second that." Cyrus nodded.

No one argued at the thought before shrugging as one. Making sure that no one saw them, the team pressed the teleport button on their Morphers and vanished into their respective colors.
