The monster loomed over the park, a bizarre amalgamation of clay, wires, and a giant TV screen for a face. It cackled, static flickering across its chest.
"I am… RATINGS-KUN! The more confusing the battle, the higher the viewership!"
Jason gritted his teeth. "Rita never runs out of weird ideas, does she?"
Akiba Blue muttered. "This is literally a parody of us. I hate how accurate this is."
Akiba Red pointed dramatically at the monster. "Then we'll fight it with the greatest power of all… delusional passion!!!"
Kimberly whispered to Zack. "Is he always like this?"
Zack shrugged. "I dunno, but I kinda dig the energy."

Battle Begins
The Putties returned, swarming the park. The Mighty Morphin Rangers leapt into action with their iconic martial arts, precise and powerful.
Meanwhile, the Akibarangers… did their thing:
Akiba Red charged headfirst, yelling attack names that made no sense.
Akiba Blue got chased around, tripping over rocks but somehow knocking Putties out as he fell.
Akiba Yellow used her "moe-powered" slaps, confusing enemies with her unpredictable swings.
"Unconventional, but effective," Billy (Blue Ranger) admitted.
Kimberly parried a Putty's strike before looking at Akiba Pink, who was flailing wildly. "Uhh, you okay?"
Akiba Pink, sparkling with joy, shouted: "I'm fighting alongside THE Pink Ranger! This is a dream come true!"
Kimberly just sighed. "…Yep, she's definitely not from around here."

Clash with Ratings-Kun
Ratings-Kun stomped forward, blasting beams of static energy. "Your continuity is MINE to control! You will never know which canon you belong to!"
"Too late!" Akiba Red cried. "We've never belonged to canon!"
The Rangers combined their weapons into the Power Blaster, firing a massive energy beam. At the same time, the Akibarangers activated their "Delusion Power," summoning a rainbow-colored aura.
"UNOFFICIAL FINAL STRIKE!!!" they shouted.
The two attacks merged, slamming into Ratings-Kun. The monster shrieked, glitching like a broken TV before exploding in a shower of sparks and static.
The battlefield fell silent. The combined teams stood victorious.

Aftermath
Jason lowered his helmet. "Not bad… for unofficial heroes."
Akiba Red's eyes sparkled. "Did you hear that?! We've been acknowledged by the official Red Ranger himself!"
Blue groaned. "Stop fangirling, Red…"
Akiba Yellow smirked. "He's not wrong. That was… kinda amazing."
Kimberly smiled faintly. "You three are weird… but you've got heart."
It almost felt like a genuine bond was forming—when suddenly, the sky ripped open.

The Rift Opens
The air warped with violent energy. Zordon's voice echoed faintly through the Rangers' communicators:
"Rangers! A multiversal rift has opened—get clear immediately!"
But before the Akibarangers could react, beams of light shot from the rift, striking each of them separately.
"Wait—NOOOO!!" Red screamed as he was pulled upward, flailing.
Blue grabbed onto a tree, but the pull was too strong. "This is so unfair!!"
Yellow cursed. "Not again!!"
The Mighty Morphin Rangers tried to reach them, but the rift sealed almost instantly, leaving only sparks in the sky.
Jason clenched his fists. "They're gone."
Kimberly looked up, worried. "Where did they even get sent to…?"

Scattered Across Worlds
The Akibarangers were torn apart, each hurled into a different dimension:
Akiba Red landed in a futuristic city bathed in neon, where armored figures fought mechanical beasts.
Akiba Blue crashed into a medieval fantasy world, surrounded by knights and sorcery.
Akiba Yellow tumbled into a high school setting with strange supernatural undertones.
Each of them stood up, dazed, realizing they were completely alone.
Akiba Red clenched his fists. "No matter what world I land in… my passion burns eternal!"
Akiba Blue groaned. "Why me… why always me…"
Akiba Yellow smirked. "Guess it's time to show the multiverse what an unofficial idol can really do."
Far away, Rita cackled. "Perfect! Let them scatter! Without their silly delusions together, they'll never make it back!"
But the three Akibarangers weren't done yet. Their separate journeys had only just begun.
To be continued…
