Kida sighed softly. "Why didn't you tell us before?" she asked, looking at Aaron.
Mayumi winced, looking up at her friend and feeling tears in her eyes. "Kane...it's ok...it's not your fault...you were trying...trying to protect...protect us....don't blame...blame yourself...please...

"Because if I had, he threatened to kill her." Aaron responded honestly while briefly looking in Mayumi's direction. "Normally, I wouldn't have worried as much because had this been in Konoha, she'd have full access to her powers, her jutsu, and her team but this portal really did something funky with her jutsu where she can't even use hers in the way that I can use mine when she's morphed. And with everything that's been going on these last few days, I couldn't risk it."
Aaron heard Mayumi continue to insist that it wasn't his fault but he was firm in his belief that had he handled this differently, she wouldn't be in danger like this. "Guys, I don't mean to cut this short but we need to help her. I promise that y'all can grill me all you want as soon as she is safe."

Rina nodded in understandment. “In your position, I would of taken the same risks.” she said, putting her helmet back on before grabbing her sword. “We’ll hold off the Coronites. Give Ironmoon hell.”

"I'll get her to Jameson," Kida said. "I'll help him start a bloodkit, find a way to isolate the poison. You guys take down the Coronites, use whatever Souls you can. Aaron, fuck that ninja up like a butchered turkey."

JT looked up at Aaron who was overflowing with emotion. She saw a look in his eyes that made her both terrified and thankful. Terrified for what he may do to Ironmoon and thankful that it wasn't being directed at her or the rest of the team.
"Beat his ass!" The Pink Ranger spoke with conviction. "We've got your back!"
"Thanks guys." Aaron sniffed for a moment before briefly looking down at Mayumi. "You stay strong. I'll check up on you as soon as I'm done." He said to her before turning his full attention to Ironmoon. He took a breath, feeling an entire weight lift off of his shoulders now that his dirty laundry has been aired out and it was no longer hanging over his head. "You know, you and your boss fucked up today. Instead of being men of your word, you forced me into a position where I had to look inside myself and the shit was uncomfortable. But your little stunt made me realize that while there are similarities between myself in Proto, when it comes to skills, the drive to be great, some personality, and looks although I look far better than he does, there are also key differences between us seeing as I actually have people that I cherish and that there is a loyalty that will never fade away!"
The trademark bravado began to return, becoming more evident with every word as he felt his confidence returning. "I get it. Your boss wanted a star because his current roster is dog shit but what he failed to realize that a true GOAT like myself doesn't break that easily, so to punish him for his stupidity, I will slaughter his old ninja buddy with a smile on my face." With a quick flick of the wrist, Aaron instantly morphed into the Black Ranger. "You're going to wish that he never called you off the bench!"

As soon as Aaron went for the attack against Ironmoon, Jaxon took his sword and went to work on the coronites. "Just because your a clone, don't mean your an exact copy from head to toe. I've watched too many damn shows! Give em hell shinobi!" Jaxon said as he hacked and slashed his way.

Ironmoon laughed, drawing his blade. "The Master was testing you, boy. Nice to see that humans are still a fickle species," he said, pointing his sword at Aaron. "Let us finish this."
Kida stood up, lifting Mayumi up. "Give him one for me, Aaron!" she said, tapping her communicator and teleporting out and to the Command Center. "Jameson!"
"Shit!" Jameson said, taking Mayumi and laying her on the table. "Let's get to work."

"Oh yeah? Tough talk coming from a guy whose fate was sealed the second he stepped foot on Earth." Aaron drew his saber and rested the blade on his shoulder. "I was going to kill you no matter what mantle I assumed." The Black Ranger charged forward at great speed, starting with a slash to Ironmoon's shoulder followed by a spin kick to his head.
***
JT launched herself into the air, driving both knees into the chest of one of the Coronites in front of her, causing a loud thud. When she got to her feet, she opted for more hand to hand, twisting the arm of one grunt while using one of her legs to wrap around another's neck, spinning it to the ground.

"Nice meteora!" Jaxon stated as he seen JT give the grunts hell as he ducked an on coming clothesline before doing a headstand and catching a coronite in a head scissors and taking the coronite down before rolling away from another attack, back to his feet and coming back with a sweet but harsh discus clothesline.

"I was going to kill you no matter what mantle I assumed." The Black Ranger charged forward at great speed, starting with a slash to Ironmoon's shoulder followed by a spin kick to his head.
Ironmoon blocked the kick, blood coming from his shoulder wound. "Not bad, Black Ranger," he said, twisting and cutting Aaron's leg, kicking him in the back and sending him down the street. "Too bad you can never be on this level. Kage Bushin no Jutsu! Thousand Clones!" He weaved a few handsigns together, a thousand copies of himself appearing on the street.
"Have fun finding the real one!" they all said, rushing for Aaron. _____________________
"We need to do something. She dies, Aaron's going to blame himself," Kida said, looking at Jameson.
"I know!" Jameson yelled, Kida stepping back. "I'm sorry, Kida. I didnt mean that." He drew some blood and started working to isolate the poison, hoping he'd find the right antidote and combination in time. "Hopefully...for Aarons sake."

Aaron twisted in the air after getting kicked, shifting his momentum to where he was able to land on his feet while sliding backwards. He scoffed when he saw Ironmoon's clones, seemingly unfazed by the large army heading his way.
"Your level? Bitch please! You can live for a thousand more years and you still couldn't touch me!" He saw the clones coming at him and began fighting through the copies with his speed increasing with every attack. Even with such quickness, he maintained a certain grace with his movements. "And FYI, these clones are trash. I know a 12 year old that does better clones than these!" A swarm of clones surrounded him until he was obstructed from view. Suddenly, the crowd of clones vanished in a puff of smoke with the Black Ranger, clutching his saber in its reverse grip. He saw that there were more clones and shook his head, amused by Ironmoon's attempt to one up him.

"Thanks!" JT went into a front roll before driving her foot upward, catching a Coronite in the jaw. She saw the jumped on top of a car and slashed another coronite who went airborne to pursue her. With another small group approaching, she did a spinning flip off of the vehicle, landing behind the grunts, knocking one grunt back into the others with a butterfly kick.

"Kaminari no Jutsu! Ten Billion Volt Burst!" Ironmoon growled, the clones summoning lightning and arching it over everyone's heads, intending on frying Aaron. Ironmoon ran in, his blade singing with electricity as he swung out, catching the Black Ranger.

Aaron grimaced upon Ironmoon's jutsu making contact. "Is...that...it???" The Black Ranger spoke slowly as he was fighting through that violent electricity. He summoned a soul, just managing to activate the BrachiChain armor. He temporarily let down his defenses, taking on more of that electricity just to get a good swing, knocking Ironmoon upward, minus his gravity.
"Shit!" The Black Ranger shook the cobwebs out of his head while regaining his bearings. "I know a guy who does that better too. You must really suck to be so inferior to literally every other shinobi across the multiverse!" Aaron quickly switched from BrachiChain to MicroSpeeder, giving him an added boost as he raced upward, delivering a flurry of slashes before the gravity effect wore off. Once he was finished, he landed back on his feet, allowing the soul's armor to fade while he backed away for both safety and to observe his handiwork.

Ironmoon growled as he hit the ground, the effects of BrachiChain and MicroSpeeder wearing off. "You...haven't seen anything," he growled. He forced himself up, his sword sparking. "Saishū kōgeki: Yōso no kōhai!" Ironmoon's sword started sparking and spitting water and fire, winds whipping up as ice started to gather around him, lightning striking hte ground and blasting Coronites and knocking the other Rangers sideways.
He swung the sword up, every element gathering on the blade before he lowered it and rushed Aaron, slashing the Black Ranger with the combined force of all the elements. Ironmoon lashed out, kicking Aaron in the chest before slashing out and cutting his chest, sliding to a stop behind the Black Ranger.
"Now...experiance hell."

Aaron fell face first to the ground after being attacked by Ironmoon again who was now being more aggressive in his attacks. However, instead of howling in pain as that attack would dictate, he began to laugh.
"Experience hell?" Aaron continued to laugh. "Hell is knowing that your entire life is a lie and that said lie almost shattered your bonds with your friends. Hell is enduring nightmares every single night about when the proverbial switch would flip and you embrace the darkness!"
He slowly got to his feet, using his sword for leverage while looking at the carnage all around him. "Hell is seeing a friend on death's door because you failed to get the job done. Hell is not knowing who you truly are!" The Black Ranger started walking in Ironmoon's direction, now completely pissed off. "In my time on this or any world, I've experienced true hell. You? You're just another notch on the belt!"
The Black Ranger called for the trusted PterIce Armor, seeing it quickly materialize while he was on the run. Once he got close, he began striking Ironmoon with several ice strikes with blinding speed.
"You hurt my friends and now I'm going to do what I should have done this morning but this time, I'm going to take my time and enjoy this!" Aaron continued to slash away at the inferior shinobi, only stopping for a moment to admire his handiwork
