EXT. ORION CITY HIGH – SCHOOL GROUND – DAY
Banners flapped in the wind. The school was buzzing with energy — a big football competition was announced against a rival school in just a few days.
TEACHERThis is our chance to show Orion High's pride!
Among the excited students, JETT leaned casually against the bleachers, spinning a ball on his finger.
JETTGuess I'll have to be the one to save school spirit.
KAELYou? On a team? That'll be the day.
JETTRelax . Football's just fighting with more running. I'll manage.
The others laughed, though Kael scowled at the teasing nickname.
EXT. FOREST TRAINING FIELD – AFTERNOON
The rangers gathered for football practice, with Jett in the center, barking mock orders like a "captain."
ZAYN(adjusting glasses)You do realize this isn't a battlefield, right? The objective is to score goals, not—
JETT(cuts in)Same thing. Outsmart, outpace, outscore.
Daiki set up cones for drills, grinning like a mischief-maker.
DAIKIOkay, okay, but if we're training him, I get to be striker.
Lyra smirked.
LYRANot unless you finish your homework.
Daiki pouted, while Rayna rolled her eyes and said its not my business.
From the shadows of the trees, VEYRA observed, arms crossed, speaking through comms to Zevor.
VEYRAThey're mixing combat instincts with school sport. This… is dangerous.
Her voice carried across the clearing suddenly, startling the team.
VEYRA(sternly)Remember — no enhanced strength. No shard influence. This is about blending in with your world, not overwhelming it. Especially you four — Kael, Lyra, Daiki, Rayna.
The named rangers stiffened, guilty looks flickering across their faces.
KAEL(grumbles)We get it. No powers. Just… normal.
DAIKI(to Jett, whispering)Good luck with "normal."
MONTAGE – FOOTBALL TRAINING
Kael tries to play defensively but keeps knocking people down accidentally.
Lyra dribbles the ball with elegant martial arts footwork, making everyone dizzy.
Rayna keeps pausing drills to lecture Jett on "positioning efficiency."
Daiki constantly shows off, attempting trick shots that miss entirely.
Zayn just stands as goalie, analyzing angles like a chess match.
Jett actually pulls the team together, surprising them by being a natural captain.
EXT. FOREST – SUNSET
Training ends in laughter and arguments, the team collapsing on the grass.
JETT(smirking)See? With me, we're unstoppable.
KAELWe'll see about that.
LYRA(grinning, playful)Just don't try to flirt with the referee during the match.
Daiki bursts out laughing, while Jett clutches his chest like he's been "wounded."
Above them, Veyra allowed herself a faint smile.
VEYRA(to herself)Not soldiers. Just… teenagers. Good.
The balance between ranger life and real life remained fragile — but for now, under the fading light, it felt right.
