Synopsis
Three years ago, in Ranger School, a new class called Class 27 is beginning their first year. Kincaid is making a speech when a large explosion echoes through the room. A girl named Hitomi (Kate) apologises for causing it after blowing up her styler in an attempt to discover how it works. In a fit of rage, Kincaid suspends her on her first day, much to her disappointment.
Three years later, Hitomi, now a soon-to-be Top Ranger, along with her partner Pachirisu is welcomed by Barlow and Crawford into the Vientown Base. Hitomi explains she built up a hatred towards Kincaid after that day and this led to him constantly following her, almost preventing her from graduating. Barlow laughs and welcomes her, explaining she is the second Top Ranger to be based in Vientown. When Hitomi asks about the second, Barlow is surprised she doesn't know him as they were both in Class 27 together. He asks Crawford about the whereabouts of the second Top Ranger, Hajime (Kellyn), and they assimilate he must still be at home. Hitomi chips in that he must be really late for work, but Crawford explains nobody is really bothered as Hajime tends to do as he pleases. Just then, a boy runs up to them with two copies of the Almia Times. Hitomi questions this, although Barlow explains that they don't actually ever get to read the newspapers because Hajime always takes them first. He asks Hitomi to take the papers to Hajime, claiming it to be her first mission. Crawford teases this will be the best way for her to get to know Hajime. Barlow also warns her not to get the papers ripped or dirty for her own sake. A little crept out, Hitomi sets off, commenting that this 'Hajime' sounds a little weird. But she remembers he's also a Top Ranger and may be super cool. As she thinks of the Top Rangers' Vatonage styler, she voices her dream to 'investigate' the styler. This prompts her to 'fix' her own styler with a screwdriver, being stopped just in time by her Pachirisu.
Finally, Hitomi locates Hajime house and, finding it's unlocked, goes inside. She finds and is shocked by an enormous library of newspapers and ranger-related items. She wonders whether Hajime must be obsessed or something and why he keeps all this stuff. Pachirisu smells something and heads over to the window. Hitomi also does and is shocked to discover that the forest in on fire. Heading outside to investigate, she finds a ranger with a Pachirisu standing on a rocky outcrop.
