I published the chapter today instead of after tomorrow as I'll be busy then and the next week, so better publish early.

Early Morning,

Mamoru sat in his office, watching intently the news that showed what had recently happened. A huge fire started in a Skyscraper in Beika, engulfing the 39th and 40th floors.

And then, the Savage King Megazord arrived, flying with its wings and raising both his hands wide open near the window, as the Rangers appeared in their respective lights, morphed, on its hands, before breaking the window and entering the burning building.

The news helicopter filmed as the people trapped inside the two floors ran to stand on both palms of the Megazord, with each Ranger holding one or two injured people who couldn't escape.

The Megazord opened its mouth as if taking a deep breath, absorbing all the fire and heat in the two floors before flying down to the ground, placing his palms on the ground, near the ambulances.

The people got off its palms while the Rangers helped the injured ones, with everyone cheering for the Rangers. Once everyone was off its hand, the Megazord flew back up and raised its serpent hand, shooting a jet stream of water at the two floors, to cool them down and prevent them from starting a fire again, and passed the stream at the floors beneath and above them, to prevent the heat from starting a fire there too.

Mamoru scoffed at how the news reporter described the Rangers as heroes, "Yeah... How many terrorist groups appeared saying they do this for the poor or a certain religion while killing and terrorising innocents.".

"Only I see their truth... Only I know from firsthand experience what people with strange powers like them will do.", Mamoru growled, recalling the face of his wife in his head, and recalling how she died, at the hands of someone with powers.

Later this evening,

"I see.", Subaru said as he placed a book he had finished reading back into the bookshelf in the library.

"That's why I need to be there for Ran, and in case someone from that school tries to do something.", Masumi explained from where she stood in the room. She'd told her brother everything about Ran's uncle, how he died, and how the Iron Fist's rival the Black Eagle Claw Academy's instructor was involved. Masumi stopped talking once she heard the library door open behind her. She glanced behind her to see Shukichi walking in with her brother's FBI colleague.

"Shu-Subaru-san..", Jodie Starling corrected herself immediately with a smile once she saw Masumi, who looked at her dryly.

"It's alright, Jodie. Masumi knows who I am.", Subaru said.

"You told her?", Jodie asked surprised.

"I figured it out.", Masumi smirked, "Tell Agent Camel to lower his voice when talking in a cafe.", She winked teasingly before she headed towards the door, ignoring Jodie's surprised look.

"Masumi! That wasn't nice!", Shukichi scolded.

"Meh. Not my problem.", Masumi shrugged as Shukichi closed the door behind them, leaving Jodie and Subaru alone in the library.

"What was that about?", Jodie questioned with a raised eyebrow.

"Nothing, that was Masumi just being herself.", Subaru said, "She's probably a bit tense for Ran's tournament.".

"Ran has a tournament coming up?", Jodie asked curiously.

"A tournament involving martial arts schools, and it seems that Ran's rival school wants to tear her down.", Subaru said mysteriously. Masumi telling him was understandable, him being now a Section 12 Captain, but it wasn't his problem nor his position to tell Jodie the whole truth.
