1.54: Never face against high power
They gathered in the sitting room, where the constructors installed the AI table.
"Whoa, it already works?!" Tedashii asked.
"Yup! I tested it a while ago, and it looks like we have already been linked with all details from HQ." Haruki said.
"You still didn't tell me who you are!" Tedashii said. Then Haruki got up and grabbed his navy coat. "Is this much more informative for ya?"
Tedashii recognized the coat. "Oh, you are a member of Rebirth-"
"That AND the new mentor of this team!"
Silence emerged in the room. "What? We did not ask for a new mentor. Isn't my uncle ours already?" Tedashii asked while looking at his teammates.
"Uhh, Tedashii. You should ask him that yourself." Yuro said as all the attention went to the screen.
"It looks like a demoniac has been spotted at the city…but-" Everyone didn't know why Adrian was stuttering.
"But what?" Tedashii asked.
Adrian then turned the hovered screen towards them. The map just wrote prohibited in red capital letters. "What does this mean?"
"It means the President does not want us to avoid getting involved. It shows the icons of the red tile, meaning that only the Red Rangers can go there-"
"He can do that?!" Tedashii was furious.
"Unfortunately, he can. That's how they split the missions around." Makoto tried to reassure him. But Tedashii did not want excuses.
"No, he is just doing this because of his grudge against our team." Everyone looked at Ado when he said that.
"It's been like that ever since Franco's…first impression as a boss-"
"Hahaha, yeah, I remember that!" Franco laughed, but everyone was blunt about this matter. "Oh, sorry."
"My older brother told me this when he tested their AI table. It looks like ours…can only gain minimal contact from HQ."
"WHAT?! So you are saying it never goes through if we call for help?" Makoto asked.
Before Ado could shake his head, Tedashii ran, bursting with speed.
"Tedashii, WAIT!! WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING…reckless."
"DAMMIT! Adrian, where is he going?" Makoto asked.
"We can only track our teammates if their guild outfit is on. Tedashii was still in his casual; we all are."
Franco then switched the TV on, and they saw Chloe at the crime scene.
"Greetings to all citizens of Legon City. We are here in Kingston district, where a demoniac spawned from the ground up! And it seems bigger than the usual ones!"
Her cameraman zoomed in on the smoke behind her. All the cars and current activities in the area were set on a stale. Some citizens hid, while others held out their phones to stream this incident. The smoke died down, and the demoniac then looked around. It saw all the people keeping their distance, so on all four limbs, it stood. Slowly, it began to breathe in and out.
"HEY!"
Tedashii made it to Kingston district. When he looked up, he was repulsed to see what it actually looked like. "Whoa! T-This is a…demoniac?" He asked himself, remembering he was not there when the others took them out. "Alright then, get ready! I'll take you out easily!"
Chloe then noticed Tedashii coming closer to the monster.
"LOOK AT THIS! A boy is approaching the demoniac! Wait…is he a captain?" She asked. "Uhh, James, is he a captain?"
James, her cameraman, just shrugged his shoulders and then kept rolling.
"Whoa, he made it there fast," Franco said.
They all just kept watching him, and then it clicked to Ado.
"OH, NO! TEDASHII SHOULDN'T HAVE GONE!!"
"HUH?!" Everyone asked.
"FIRE! That demoniac's weakness is fire…the reason they called only the Red Rangers is because that's its weakness. This means that-"
"The only thing that can make it stronger is water or wind?!" Franco said.
"SHIT! WE GOTTA GO STOP HIM, FAST!!"
They all wanted to get to the area but noticed someone missing.
"Ado…you said its strength was wind and water, right?" Makoto asked.
Ado nodded, and then they looked around, but Genti wasn't there either.
"BOSS! I CAME TO HELP!"
They heard his voice play on the TV.
"You have got to be kidding me. WHEN DID HE GO WITH?!"
The Elite Forced all began to run down the central region.
