EXT. ORION CITY HIGH – FOOTBALL STADIUM – DAY
The stands thundered with cheers. Banners waved, drums pounded. It was the final football match of the season, and Jett was the star striker.
His friends — Kael, Lyra, Zayn, Rayna, and Daiki — sat on the sidelines in uniform, cheering louder than anyone.
DAIKILet's go, Jett!
KAEL(rolling eyes but smirking)He better score after all that talk.
KICK-OFF – MATCH BEGINS
The opposing team was fast, disciplined, and tough. Jett, however, played with flair, weaving through defenders with impossible tricks. The crowd chanted his name.
Just as he set up for a shot —
BOOOOOM!
The ground shook. A distant shockwave rattled the stadium. The scoreboard flickered. Students screamed.
LYRA(standing up, eyes wide)That's not thunder.
Smoke rose from the city skyline beyond the school. Buildings crumbled. Civilians screamed.
On the big screen, the broadcast cut to chaos — a Karnex monster rampaging downtown, tearing through streets with massive claws.
THE RANGERS HUDDLE
The team rushed together near the bleachers, speaking quickly.
KAEL(serious)We need to move. Now.
ZAYN(calculating)That thing is draining energy from the city grid. If it continues, half of Orion will be rubble in an hour.
RAYNAWe can't ignore this.
Jett looked torn — the stadium still roaring, the ball still at his feet.
JETTBut the match—
LYRA(gripping his shoulder firmly)Jett. You stay.
He blinked.
JETTWait, what?
KAEL(nodding)This is your dream. The city believes in us. And we believe in you. Win this match. Show them something normal worth cheering for.
DAIKI(grinning)Yeah! We'll take care of the monster. You just score those goals.
THE SPLIT
The rangers ran from the stadium entrance, vanishing into the smoke with morphers glowing.
Jett stood frozen, gripping the ball. The crowd was chanting, urging him on.
JETT(to himself)Guess it's me versus the world… on both fields.
BATTLE CUTAWAY – CITY RUINS
Kael's fiery strikes clashed with the monster's claws.Lyra's graceful kicks spun debris away from civilians.Zayn unleashed gadgets mid-combat, analyzing weak points.Rayna barked orders, leading evacuations.Daiki provided cover fire with his Silver tech.
The monster roared, sending shockwaves, but the rangers pressed on.
KAELHold the line! We promised Jett we'd handle this!
BACK AT THE STADIUM
The match raged. Jett fought through defenders, panting, sweat dripping. But his mind was split between the game and the unseen battle.
JETT(thinking)Come on, team. Don't lose. I'll do my part here.
The ball came to him in the final minute. Defenders swarmed. He darted right, then left, pulling a daring trick that left the crowd gasping.
With one last kick — GOOOOAL!
The stadium erupted. The whistle blew. Orion High had won.
POST-MATCH – STADIUM TUNNEL
Jett walked off the field as a hero, showered with cheers. But his eyes were searching the distance.
Finally, through the smoke at the city's edge, he saw it — five glowing lights, streaking upward in victory.
The team had won their battle too.
Jett smiled faintly.
JETTYeah… we're all champions today.
