Chapter 167: All Might's Agency Arc (3)
~Third POV~
[Day 3, Okuto Island – Forest Area, Japan]
The 3rd day happened as Ren and All Might began their hero work together during the winter break. On this day, an emergency call was made at Okuto Island.
Okuto Island is a southern island located in the Pacific Ocean, 200 kilometers offshore from mainland Japan. The island features wide shoals, gorgeous views of the ocean, and several resorts. The main attraction of the island is the 'Okuto Aquarium, ' which is a popular spot for domestic and international tourists.
The aquarium is maintained by its director, Kugo Sakamata, otherwise known as the Aqua Hero: Gang Orca. Gang Orca called for backup after encountering a villain. She looked down at him, holding her katana coldly, saying, "You better pray that the Hero Power Ranger comes."
*Whack*
Slamming her katana sheathe against Gang Orca's head, knocking him out. He wasn't the only one knocked out, as a few other heroes were also down against one of the assassins that were sent after Ren.
*Swf*
In a secluded forest, the assassin sheathed her katana after having defeated the three Pro Heroes. Unbeknownst to her, Ren Yuki appeared using his [Wormhole] as he watched her closely next to a nearby tree, crouched down.
Meanwhile, a man with a gun and a shield tries to kill the assassin by shooting at her, but she easily slices the bullet in half and quickly strikes down the man….
*Swoosh*
Only to miss her strike, her eyes shifting to the reason. Ren appeared in his Power Ranger costume as he spoke, carrying the Pro Hero who was knocked out. "Whoa there, missy! Can't let you cause a murder on the scene, not while I'm around!"
Gazing at his outfit, the assassin introduced her villain's name as she shifted expressions into a cold look as she said in a dead tone, "You must be the hero, Power Ranger. There's a bounty on your head to capture you alive… I'm Akame, and you will come with me."
Ren scowls under his helmet but approaches Akame in a calm tone, "Like that will happen. What, will be you going to jail, sweet cheeks."
Both hero and villain were prepared to fight. Akame lunges at Power Ranger with a slash, but he effortlessly dodges the strike and retaliates, landing two swift hits with his [Blackwhip], taking the hits.
*BAM*
*BAM*
Ren raised an eyebrow, surprised at Akame's resistance to his attacks, but kept his head in the game, fighting her. Undeterred, Akame draws her blade and swings it again –
*Swooosh*
Only for the [Gear Shift] Power Ranger to leap high into the air, aiming to strike her with his energy tendrils of [Blackwhip]. Akame deflects the blow with ease, raising her sword to block, then follows up with two quick swings of her blade, both of which Power Ranger nimbly evades.
*Shinng*
*Swooosh*
*BAM*
Finally, she manages to land a hit, delivering a sharp knee to Ren's midsection. Though he guards with his arms, the force sends him crashing into a tree.
*Shinng*
Power Ranger narrowly avoids a follow-up attack from Akame that cleaves through a branch, using his speed to propel himself toward another tree. With that momentary advantage, he leaps toward her, using his legs to slam her back into the trunk.
*BAM*
*BAM*
Before she can recover, he strikes again, this time delivering a powerful kick that breaks off a chunk of the tree, sending Akame sprawling to the ground. Quick to react, Power Ranger tries to land on her for another strike, but Akame rolls out of the way just in time.
*Swooosh*
She dodges two quick slashes from Katana, but her swift kick leaves Ren momentarily open. Seizing the opportunity, she delivers two quick slashes, cutting across his defenses.
*Shinng*
*Shinng*
*KLANG*
However, Power Ranger's [Bio-Electric Aura] blocked the attacks from harming him directly, taking advantage. Power Ranger counters, delivering two strikes against Akame as he increases a bit more power into his hits using his energy tendril of [Blackwhip].
*SMASH*
*KLANG*
The first shot is deflected by the sheath of her sword, while the second is blocked by her blade itself. Akame pressed forward, once again attempting to strike, but Power Ranger dodged with the same effortless grace, evading each of her attacks.
*Swooosh*
Ren then uses his ultimate move in a serious tone, getting Akame's attention, "[Transmission: Low Gear]."
*Swooosh*
Increasing his speed as he rushes around Akame. With his opponent confused, Ren cocks and activates his other ultimate move as he yelled out loud, "[Overdrive]!!"
*SMASH*
Using [Overdrive], Power Ranger strikes Akame, briefly downing her as he speaks a distance away from her, "Akame, stay down if you know what's good for you… what's your Quirk anyway?"
Akame, not going down so easily, Akame cuts her hand and activates her Quirk. This catches Power Ranger by surprise, feeling the ominous energy around her as she confesses, "Never. I'll get the job done; let's see if you handle me at my best. My Quirk [Little War Horn] activates if I damage myself to increase in power – what?"
Having been forced to reveal her Quirk abilities as Power Ranger used [Confession], he blinked, surprised. Akame surrounded herself in purple energy as her eyes glowed red.
*SWOOOSH*
She rushes at her distracted enemy, who notices her transformation and tries to swipe at her with his hand, but she is too fast for him and whacks him away with her katana. Power Ranger was surprised seeing this as he thought, 'This is not your normal type of villain… she's way too strong for that…'
*Smack*
*Shinng*
While careening, Akame strikes Power Ranger from all directions, who tries to defend himself with his arms but is kneed higher into the air by Akame. Akame continues by slashing Power Ranger multiple times before kicking him into the ground
*SMACK*
Akame thrusts her sword into the ground, but Power Ranger evades the attack and attempts to launch his energy tendrils at Akame to no avail, unable to compete with her speed. Akame knocks Power Ranger into a tree and circles him multiple times.
*Bzzz*
Having had enough, he activates his [Full Cowl], unleashing 50% of [OFA], destroying the tree behind him in the process and leaving his body surging with electricity. Taking a small step while [Low Gear] is active…
*Swooosh*
*Zzzz*
This time, he has the speed advantage and manages to land several electricity-charged punches using the [Thunder Punch] skill on Akame while also avoiding her attacks. Unable to defend herself, a helpless Akame is subject to a barrage of Power Ranger's electric punches before being smacked into the air.
*SMASH*
Power Ranger punches Akame back into the ground and charges up his [Electro Fist] attack, announcing out loud, "[Electro Fist]!!"
*Zzzzz*
Power Ranger throws a pillar of electricity at Akame, which leaves behind a charred crater underneath her. Though she survives the attack, she's left visibly weakened as she struggles to stand up and unsheathe her weapon, with electricity crackling around her body and her eyesight deteriorating.
*Swooosh*
*Smack*
Before she can do anything, she is knocked out by Power Ranger, who knocks behind her neck, resulting in her unconscious as he speaks curiously, "So I have a hit on me, huh? Seems like I'll need to take care of that money bounty soon enough. But first…"
Gazing at the defeated heroes, he sighed, beginning to help heal them for more information on what happened…
/////
[Day 4, Nighttime, Sekoto Peak– Mountain Area, Japan]
Sekoto Peak is a mountainous region close to the city. It is an area covered with trees, vegetation, and streams. In the past, Sekoto Peak burned completely when Toya was unable to control the flames of his Quirk, engulfing himself and the entirety of the mountain in an astonishing wildfire that could be seen from the city itself, reaching a temperature that exceeded 2,000°C.
When the fire was extinguished, the mountain was completely burned. But given time, it slowly regained its greenery over time…
Under cover of night in a castle, another assassin was sent to capture Power Ranger head to Sekoto Peak to set up base. The assassin is named Ragna, and his Quirk [Super Strength] carries his personalized weapon.
*Bang*
Ragna dashes forward, only to notice a round of energy shot speeding toward him. He crouches low and performs a backflip to narrowly evade the projectile.
Irritated by the attack, he adjusts his collar with a calm yet frustrated motion, "T-huh, you gotta be kidding me."
His attacker is revealed to be Ren Yuki in his Power Ranger hero costume, who spins around with his weapon, Leon Saber, as he introduces himself calmly, "The name's Power Ranger! You're a target, and the guy gonna kick your ass…"
Ren raised his new weapon, the Leon Saber, having modified his Power Saber. He grinned underneath his helmet, preparing himself for battle.

----
Ragna growled, annoyed, as he drew his weapon, Aramasa, a large sword/scythe mechanical weapon, gripping the handle tightly. Drawing his Aramasa, Ragna swiftly slashes at Power Ranger.
*Shinng*
*Swooosh*
But he deftly evades the strike and counters by swinging his foot on Ragna's face, landing a blow. Power Range then attempts a slash of his own into Saber Mode. "Strike one!"
*BAM*
*Wooosh*
However, though he misses. Ren's Leon Saber and Ragna's Aramasa collide with a resounding clash, but before Ragna can react, Ren quickly strikes him on the head with the spine of her weapon. "Yah!"
*SMACK*
Ragna delivers a powerful kick to Ren's face, following it up with a rapid series of slashes and kicks that propel him into a mid-air spin. Seizing the moment, he attempts to strike her again with another slash…
*Shinng*
*Swooosh*
However, Ren avoids the attack just in time and manages to regain her balance, grunting, annoyed as he says, "I'm not done!"
*BOOOM*
Unleashing her red aura using [Fa Jin], Ren dashes around Ragna too quickly for him to react, leading him to compliment his skill, "Not bad!"
Ragna tries to go for a kick, but Ren is quicker to attack and shoots another burst of energy at him, knocking him in the air. While he is airborne, Ren switches Leon Saber to its gun mode and fires another round of energy shots, Fire!"
*BANG*
*BANG*
Ragna, who sends him back to the ground as he lands on his feet, growls, "Ow, you bastard!"
Making a mocking wave at him, motioning him to come, said mockingly, "Come here!"
Before he can react, Ren manages to throw Ragna away with the blade of his weapon as Ragna grunts, "What the— ow!"
*BOOOM*
...before launching two bursts of wind in his direction as Ren lightly chuckles. But Ragna was not impressed at his attacks, easily dodging the first burst of wind before dispersing the other with his weapon, creating a cloud of mist in the process as he said, "Is that all you've got?"
*Swooosh*
*CLANG*
Ren's Leon Saber and Ragna's Aramas clash once more, creating a shockwave. Ragna grabs Ren by his throat and slams her into the ground with such force that it destroys the floor beneath them.
*BOOOM*
As the two fall to the ground, Ren uses the falling fragments of the crushed debris of rock as platforms to propel himself toward his opponent in a serious tone, "Oh no, you don't!"
*Bang*
Ren launches an attack that Ragna narrowly blocks. They both land on their feet atop a crumbling piece of rock debris, kicking up a cloud of dust. The two engage in a fierce exchange of blows…
*Clang*
*Shinng*
*Clang*
Ren skillfully evades some of Ragna's strikes using his skills, [Instinct] and [Danger Sense]. As their fight intensifies, the fragment descends, resulting in a violent upheaval of the ground below.
*RMBL*
Seeing the situation, Ragna began to crouch using his [Super Strength] Quirk as he soon launched himself into the air, aiming to hit Ren with his Aramasa.
*BOOOM*
Ren swiftly evades and counters with a kick directed at Ragna. He successfully blocks this strike along with three additional energy shots using his blade.
*Bang*
*Bang*
*Bang*
Ragna retaliates by sending a fourth energy shot back at Ren, but it goes astray. He then tried to slash at Ren twice, yet he skillfully avoided the blows with [Fa Jin] using a short burst of kinetic energy to avoid those swift attacks.
*Booom*
Ren intercepts Ragna's blade with his Leon Saber in Saber Mode but is sent flying by a subsequent blow. Leaping from a tree, he attempts to launch a counterattack, but Ragna yells out loud, "This'll sting!"
*SHINNG*
*SHINNG*
...only to be ensnared by a flurry of swift slashes from Ragna. However, he successfully halts the onslaught by unleashing a surge of his red aura of [Fa Jin].
*BOOOM*
As Ragna regains his footing, he blocks an attack from the spine of Ren's Leon Saber; however, a second attack from the blade strikes him down, forcing him to rebound off the ground as Ren yells, "You're mine!"
*BOOOOM*
Using his [Fa Jin] to outspeed his opponent, Ren slashes Ragna omnidirectionally, throwing him into the air with his blade and drawing some blood before pursuing him into the sky. As Ragna comes to his senses, he sees that Ren's eyes are now glowing blue electricity, having activated his [Full Cowl] and making his finishing move, "Here I go! [OVERDRIVE]!!"
*BOOOOM*
The Power Ranger spins through the air, his Leon Saber whirling rapidly as he prepares to deliver the finishing blow…
*BOOOOOOM*
Ren strikes Ragna with such intensity that it proves fatal, causing him to collapse to the ground, surrounded by a pool of blood. Ren lands safely on the ground, using [Transmute] and [Cellular Activation] to keep the assassin alive as he mutters, "That's the 15th on this day. I already sent the cancelation; they should stop soon because these fuckers are cock blocking me!"
Ren, having canceled the bounty on his head, wouldn't have to deal with assassins for much longer. Although he was already getting annoyed encountering them, hoping it wouldn't last the whole winter break…
