Gathered in a ridiculously large library known as The Great Library was eight teens who were just talking and hanging out with one another. Four boys and four girls.
The first girl is 16 and has shoulder length black hair that was kept in a low ponytail and chocolate brown eyes. She was wearing a yellow t shirt that could hardly been seen because layered over it was a short red zip up hoodie jacket with jean pants and sneakers trimmed with red. Around her neck was an arrowhead necklace made of silver. She is Sora Daniels, and is a good friend to this group of individuals she was with, but she was also known as the Red Lore Keeper ranger.
Sitting next to her was a girl of 14 with golden brown and set into a low pony tail. Her green eyes were covered by a set of sunglasses and she was wearing a white blouse with a knee length blue skirt and flats with a blue waist bag slung over her shoulder. She is the Lore Keeper Blue ranger, but her real name is Avalon Victoria Winchester yet she prefers to go by AV.
A slender built guy who like almost half the teens in town was around 16-17. The most noticeable thing was that he was probably the tallest in the room even when he was sitting. He had messy blond hair that was slightly long as a good chunk of it was covering his right eye while keeping his left blue eye exposed. He wore a long sleeved button up yellow shirt and white pants and shoes. Layered over the shirt was a black jacket. He is Leo Balgriff and is one of Sora's best friends along with being Lore Keeper Yellow.
Looking through a book near them was one of the oldest guys in the room and was of Hispanic origin with a slender frame. His black hair was done up in a pompadour as his brown eyes gazed at the teacher which were noticeable through his black half round rim glasses. He was wearing a green muscle shirt while over it was a long sleeved checkered green unbuttoned shirt and cargo pants and camouflage styled shoes. He is Alvin Gregory and is Lore Keeper Green.
Standing near and trying to talk to him was a guy around Leo's age his short length brown hair seemed to defy gravity and was swept to the right side his hazel green eyes glinted with mischief. He wore a black athletic top with black sports shorts and cleats. He is Adam Cots, but is also known as Lore Keeper Black.
Sitting with the other girls were two more. The first girl was around Leo's age and she had natural blond wavy hair and bright blue eyes. She wore an expensive looking and pretty to look at pink top, deep blue skinny jeans, and pink flat top shoes with a flexible build. She is Cassandra 'Cassie' StClare and is a fellow ranger being Lore Keeper Pink.
The girl with her was small and around AV's age and looked to be of chinese descent and has tanned skin and brown eyes with shoulder length black hair that is held back by silver hair clips and was wearing silver stud earrings. She wore a white top with a dove sew in silver on the right shoulder and a silver skirt and plain white shoes. She is the Silver Lore Keeper ranger and is known as Eva Chen.
The final boy in the room was Alvin's age and was looking the group over. He has an average skin tone, but had an athletic build to him. He had blonde side swept hair and brown eyes and he wore a gold polo shirt with tan dress pants and black dress shoes. Hanging from his pants was an old gold pocket watch. His name is Peter Collins and is the Gold Lore Keeper ranger.
"So how did the ice cream date go between you and Adam?" Cassie asked pleadingly looking at AV who was blushing.
"I-It went j-just fine if your w-wondering." AV stuttered as Cassie smirks.
"Ohh…Did he kiss you?" Cassie asked causing the blue ranger's blush to deepen turning almost as red as Sora's ranger suit.
Sora chuckles "Okay you two that's enough." Sora said to them.
"Umm…We're you all like this in the beginning?" Eva suddenly asked curious getting everyone's attention as Peter nods in agreement putting the book away.
"Actually I was wondering that to." Peter said.
Leo laughs "You kidding me? No way we were like this before we all met and became rangers. In fact me and Sora were, and still are two of the biggest troublemakers in the school." Leo said.
Cassie nods "That is to true. Then again if it wasn't for you two skipping school that day months ago none of this would have happened." Cassie said.
Sora rubs her head "Yeah you got a point, but we didn't expect what happened." Sora said.
[Flashback]
Sora and Leo were headed out for Legacy Square cutting through the old warehouse/dump site, but right on their heels were AV, and closely behind her were Cassie, Adam, and Alvin.
The two boys walked calmly before the heard a crack sound behind them and saw AV.
"You two need to come back. We could all get in trouble if you're not there." AV said as Cassie, Adam, and Alvin were right behind her having quickly caught up.
Leo sighs "Listen squirt. Me and Sora do this all the time despite what you may think." He said.
"Yeah. They do happen to act like delinquents most of the time." Cassie said as Leo stepped forward taking insult to being called a delinquent, but was stopped from doing anything further when Sora put a hand on his shoulder and shook his head.
"We are not heading back to the school today squirt. You're just going to have to live with it." Sora told AV as he and Leo turn to leave, but was stopped as strange black goop seemed to fall from the sky making each of them move back and eventually into a small circle.
The goop began to grow in height taking on a strange form. It looked like that of a creature made of pure darkness with sharp claw like hands. Strange blue markings lined the bodies of these creatures.
"You choose the wrong place to come humans." A feminine voice said as a figure came out in front of the creatures that were forming.
Adam and Leo ran ending up near an old metal silo with a fence behind it that went around the rest of the warehouse before they were cornered by the Shades. Both turned as Leo cracked his knuckles.
"You know this is where I was hoping this was going to go." He said as Adam tried to look for a way out.
"Come on! Where is the exit." Adam said as he looked for another way out. As he was doing this Leo ran forward going straight at the Shades.
He ducked under their claw strikes and delivered quick jabs that would occasionally send them tumbling back and into others.
Adam had tried to climb the fence when a Shade jumped at him. He let go of the fence falling to avoid the creature and rolled back as the Shade face planted into the fence.
It turned around to face Adam as he got up. The creature lunged forward to which Adam met rushing forward tackling the creature sending it to the ground as it disappeared in a puff of black some.
"Hey Leo I got…" Adam started turning to face Leo and where the rest of the Shades use to be.
"One." He finished as Leo looked to be dusting himself off from the fight.
Both began to head on back where the lobster like creature was and hopefully everyone else.
Cassie and AV ran ending up near a bunch of the old yet workable machinery as the Shades were hot on their trail.
AV picked up an old can from the ground and tossed it behind her which hit a Shade making it trip backwards and fall causing a chain reaction of the rest falling.
"Nice shot." Cassie complimented.
"Don't thank me yet." AV said glancing behind her seeing the creatures starting to get up and began to chase after the girls again.
Both turned the corner the Shades following seconds later, but yet when they turned the corner there was no sign of either girl.
The creatures looked at each other in confusion as one says something to another in its own language, but the creature it talked to waked the back of its head.
The Shades started to look around for the two girls failing to notice an old run down van was running.
Minutes later the Shades were together and seemed to be arguing possibly blaming on another for losing sight of their target. It was then the van lurched forward surprising the Shades who didn't have enough time to move out of the way and they all disappeared in a puff of black smoke.
The van stopped and both girls stepped out "Nice driving." AV said simply before running off towards where the lobster was.
"Hey! Wait for me!" Cassie said following after AV quickly.
Sora and Alvin were hauled up behind a large pile of crushed cars with Sora peeking around watching the Shades for any sign of them being found.
A Shade turned its head and Sora quickly ducked back behind the pile.
"Okay no way around it." Sora says as Alvin shudders.
"You're not thinking of fighting those things are you?" He asked Sora.
"As I said there's no way around it." Sora replies.
"But maybe we could compromise. You know talk?" Alvin suggested.
Sora raised an eyebrow "I'm sure that would go over well. After all we're just dealing with a lobster like thing that seems to want us dead." He said.
"Only because you call its Master's home a warehouse dump." Alvin retorted.
"Well it actually is." Sora replied stretching his arms out to indicate all the trash, crushed cars, and other things scattered about to prove his point
"…Good point." Alvin said as Sora sighs.
"Look if you don't want to fight fine, but I'm not going to become a pincushion for their claws." Sora said running out as Alvin watched.
Sora ducked and weaved performing quick jabs and leg sweeps to knock the creatures off their feet. Each one disappearing in puffs of black smoke as they took several hits.
Sora began to slow as the fight wore on and Alvin started to worry, and only seconds later Sora let out a scream of pain one of the creatures actually successfully digging it's claws into his right should streams of blood coming out from the wounds as the Shade pulled it's claw out.
Before it could finish the job Cassie, AV, Leo, and Adam showed up to fight the rest of the creatures and did so successfully while protecting the injured Sora.
Alvin came out after the fight seemed to be over as Leo helped Sora up.
[Flashback End]
"Speaking of Recks we haven't heard from her in a while. You think they uhh…disposed of her?" Cassie asked as the group except Peter and Eva shrug.
"Who know, but sheesh she is temperamental. So what if I called her master's home a dump. That is exactly what it is." Sora said.
"Warehouse dump. Those were your exact words." Adam says as Leo rolls his eyes.
"Yeah, but we would have been dead meat if Maya didn't show up and bail us out." Leo said.
Alvin sighs "Yes, and we all know what happened next. She gave Sora the Red Lore Morpher and sent her out. Though at the time most of us thought that you were a guy." Alvin said.
"Well I wasn't exactly hiding it." Sora retorts.
"Anyways you seemed relieved when we showed up to help in our first fight with Recks." AV said.
[Flashback]
Reck's grabbed Sora by the throat and threw him back into a pile of rubble.
"Face it ranger you can't win." Reck's said as Sora struggled to get up as some Shades closed in to gang up on him.
"You just had to play hero huh Sora?" Leo's voice suddenly asked coming out of nowhere. Sora and Reck's looked around their attention eventually drawn to one of the larger piles of rubble where each of the others stood.
"What are you guys doing here? It's not safe." Sora states as Cassie frowns.
"We can take care of ourselves thank you." She said hands on her hips.
"Besides you were getting thrown around so we thought we'd give you a hand." Adam added grinning as Alvin just nods in agreement.
"Instead of talking how about we just show what we mean." AV said showing her navy blue morpher the others following suit showing there's as Reck's sweats.
"Uhh…could we maybe talk about this?" She asked.
"Too late crabby." Leo said as the five spun the dials all the way clockwise stopping at a suit that was similar looking to Sora's.
"Unlock the legend!" The five shouted and morphed like Sora. Cassie and AV were in Pink and Blue respectively with slightly longer robes going six inches below the waist and trimmed with gold like Sora's. Leo, Alvin, and Adam were each outfitted with Yellow, Green, and Black variations of the same robes respectively but they were only as long as Sora's and trimmed with silver. The helmets were the same with similar visors.
[Flashback End]
Sora shakes her head "Okay I will admit I was in over my head, but if I recall Adam you weren't exactly much of a fighter back when we started. In fact you ran away from the first fight." Sora reminded him
Adam nods "I did, and I'm thankful she was able to help me realize a few things." Adam said.
Peter raised an eyebrow "She? Are you being vague deliberately?" Peter asked.
"He means a veteran ranger. Dino Charge Pink to be precise." AV tells him
[Flashback]
School let out for the day the students splitting up to do their various after school activities or in the case of some others were heading on home.
Yet while many were doing this Alvin had stayed behind and was assisting in packing up Shelby's stuff she had shown to the various classes that day.
"Thanks for helping me Mr. Gregory. Packing can take a while if you don't have any help." Shelby said.
"It's no problem Miss Watkins." He says as he thought back to earlier with Sora's small confrontation yet he became so lost in his thoughts he almost tripped, but saved by Shelby who grabbed him by the back of his shirt pulling him back.
"Please try to be careful. Miss Morgan won't like it if any of the fossils are broken." Shelby said taking the dinosaur skull Alvin was carrying and putting it into a crate.
"I'm sorry. My minds not in the right place right now." He replies as Shelby closes the crate.
"Girl problem or friend problem?" Shelby asked as she turned putting away some tools into a small tool chest.
"It's the latter." He replied sitting down in a seat his head in the palms of his hands.
"We haven't exactly been friends that long, but he just doesn't get how I feel. He expects me to be able to do something I'm incapable of doing." Alvin said as Shelby listened taking a seat near him.
"Really? Sounds like he's being rather inconsiderate towards your feelings or…" Shelby started trailing off in thought.
"Or?" Alvin asks not getting out of his position.
"Or maybe he's just trying to help. In his own way of course." Shelby added as Alvin looks up at her in confusion.
Alvin stared up in confusion at Shelby "How is forcing me to fight someone helping me?" He asked her.
"It's never helped anyone. Fighting is senseless and in the end someone can be hurt just as bad emotionally as they can physically." He continues.
Shelby shakes her head at this "What I'm trying to say Alvin is that your friend while your friend is being inconsiderate he is also trying to help. Sometimes it takes a small push to help people change." She said to him.
"How is asking me to fight helping?" He asked.
"You keep saying that he is asking you to fight when in truth maybe he's asking you to help protect something that's worth protecting." Shelby replied as Alvin grew silent.
"I…I actually never considered it like that." He said as Shelby stood up.
"I can't pretend I know why you don't like fighting. Maybe it's something personal or maybe it's something else, but not everyone fights just to pick a fight." She said as she grabbed a few other things putting them into their proper cases.
"But I know if it were me I'd fight for those that matter." She adds as Alvin begins to consider what she is saying as he helps her finish packing and started to take boxes out to a red jeep. As they packed boxes the sounds of an explosion was heard along with people running and panicking.
Turning the corner with a group of Shades was Sound Catcher. Almost by instinct Shelby seemed to reach for something, but then stopped when she realized it wasn't there.
"COME OUT RANGER BLUE. SURRENDER YOURSELF OR TERMINATION WILL BE THE LEAST OF YOUR CONCERN." It said as the Shades jumped at people making them run the unlucky few being stabbed by the Shades knife like claws.
It was then that Adam and Cassie appeared already morphed and began to fight off the Shades. Alvin and Shelby watched ducked behind the jeep as the Black and Pink Lore Keeper rangers fought.
"But I know if it were me I'd fight for those that matter." Shelby's voice echoed as Alvin stood up.
"What are you doing Mr. Gregory?" Shelby asked.
"I've listened to what you told me Miss Watkins, and yeah while he was inconsiderate you were right about what he was trying to do." Alvin said as Shelby nods smiling.
"Then go get them green." Shelby said catching Alvin off guard.
"Wait how do you…" He started before stopping because like in the classroom a ghostly image of Dino Charge Pink replaced Shelby for a moment before fading away.
"Let's just say I have some experience." She replied with a wink before Alvin ran off taking his morpher out of his pocket and strapping it on.
[Flashback End]
"I still hate fighting, but as she told me not everyone fights just to pick a fight." Alvin said to them all.
Sora nods "Your right about that. It was also during that we first piloted our zords and formed the Megazord as well as one of its formations. I guess that is also when we obtained our first True Power." Sora said.
"True Power?" Eva asked recognizing the term, but didn't understand what it means.
Cassie looks to the younger girl "You know how we have all those ranger forms and power Eva?" Cassie asked and the girl nods.
"Well they are incomplete." Cassie added on.
"And when we meet a ranger veteran and gain their approval in some way we unlock that teams full true potential. That's a True Power." Adam finished for her.
"Though having a True Power couldn't prepare us for AV's secret or what happened." Sora said as Leo winces putting a hand to a cheek recalling that particular event.
[Flashback]
The two returned to their friends who had gone back over to where Sora and Leo were at.
"So guys what do you think of the place?" Leo asked them a smirk ever present on his face.
Cassie gave a small smile "It is a beautiful place, but it's even better with my Sora here." She said giving a wink as Sora groans.
Adam, Leo, and Alvin laugh while AV just smiles shaking her head at the scene, but as she did so her sunglasses fell off revealing her eyes which had changed to blue. AV quickly grabbed her sunglasses from the floor and put them on, but her friends had already seen them.
"A-Aren't your eyes green?" Cassie asked as Leo frowns AV staring to become nervous.
"Umm no. No their not." AV replied as he eyes turned dark orange at her own lie.
"Yes they are. At least that's what I saw last time I saw you not wearing your sunglasses." Sora said.
AV huffs "That doesn't really matter." She said.
"Then why hide your real eye color under a pair of stupid sunglasses?" Leo insisted, and what happened next was a bit unexpected as Leo was smacked by AV who then proceeded to leave shocking each of the rangers a bit.
"Smooth move Balgriff. Real smooth." Adam said with his arms crossed.
Ophthalo ran at AV who jumped up and began shooting at the monkey. He took the hits and jumped up himself grabbing AV.
"Now hold still. This might only hurt for a second." He said before he was kicked by the younger girl forcing him to let loose of her. Both of them landed on their feet when they hit the ground, and Ophthalo was already running at her getting excited.
AV spun the dial it landing on the image of a blue ranger "Unlock the Legend!"
AV was enveloped with blue energy as her gloves were replaced with white gloves with a gold band around it and blue boots with a gold band around it. A blue skirt with gold trim replaced her normal as a white belt with a gold gear buckle strapped itself onto the suit. The upper torso of her suit changed as it became all blue with a gold gear emblemized on the chest. The white turned to black, and finally her helmet changed as a upside down trapezoid serving as the visor as a silver mouthpiece appeared.
AV grabbed the gun from her side and shot at Ophthalo who continued to run at her despite the continuous shots he was taking and it was beginning to make AV nervous.
She began to back away as quickly as she could, but the monkey was quick as when he got close enough he punched sending AV back and forcing her back into her Lore Keeper suit.
She let out a groan of pain as Ophthalo walked forward and was over her "Now let's see what kind of eyes you have." He said taking taking out a flash light from his coat. It was bright enough that even as he flashed it it managed to be see even through the visor temporally blinding AV.
Ophthalo's hand glowed a second as he put his hands to the visor where AV's eyes would be and slowly pulled up. AV suddenly felt an intense pain coming from her eyes and screamed. It felt like someone was trying to take something from her eyes. She continued to scream until finally the pain stopped, and her world went black as her body went limp.
[Flashback End]
"That was actually the first time me and AV met you Eva. We drove Robyn off as I recall." Alvin said.
AV looks down recalling that "I was blind for a whole week because of that monkey." AV said.
Cassie chuckles "Though we did get yours and several other people's eyesight back in the end. Just took a bit of trickery was all." She said as Sora groans.
"Have I told you how much I hated that plan?" Sora said looking at the girl with a glare.
Eva grew curious "What exactly did you do?" she asked as Cassie grins.
"I'm glad you asked Eva." She said.
[Flashback]
"I hate you Cassie." Sora's voice said from the alleyway as Cassie was in the street which was relatively empty during the early afternoon.
"Come on it wasn't that bad." Cassie said trying to get Sora to come out from where he was hiding.
"You wouldn't unlock the restroom until I changed." Sora said as Cassie growls and goes to the alleyway grabbing Sora and dragging him out to reveal he was in completely different attire than his usual.
First off his jet black hair was parted on both sides and went to just above his jaw line while sections in the back stuck up. In place of his usual he was now wearing a short sleeve navy blue workout shirt with tan shorts with long boots that had a section cut off showing his toes and there were wraps going up both boots. Finally he was wearing red eye contacts that had strange symbols going around the iris.
"Don't worry this plan is full proof." Cassie assured him.
"Except the part where you made me take off my morpher." Sora retorts.
"Then that monkey would that you're a ranger. Sorry, but for this to work your going to have to live without it for a bit." She says as while nearby Adam is laughing and takes a picture of Sora who turns to glare at him.
"I swear if you post that…" He starts as Cassie holds him back.
"Come on. Just remember why we're doing this." She tells them both and they stop.
Sora sighs "Alright, but this had better work." He says as he and Cassie are walking holding hands and Adam takes his own position waiting.
[Flashback End]
The group minus Sora began to laugh "It's not funny! I got stuck like that for a whole hour before monkey brains showed up!" Sora exclaimed crossing her arms and looking away.
The laughing died down as Leo sighs and smiles "Yeah the whole 'be sensitive to others and keep an open mind' got drilled into my mind after that." Leo said.
"At least it didn't take a monster attack for you to learn something." Cassie retorts as the disaster on her birthday was recalled.
[Flashback]
"I've racked by brain and I don't recall ever telling you when my birthday was. Did Beatrice tell you?" She asked as Adam looks at her confused.
"Who's Beatrice?" he asked as Cassie's frown deepens. Adam had meet the housekeeper/maid before, and it would be really difficult to forget said maid hitting him with a frying pan thinking that a 12 year old was a thief due to how he dressed in all black most of the time.
Cassie walked away thinking why everything was so off and why the others didn't have there morphers. She couldn't understand why so many things just seemed not to make sense or fit together.
The more she thought about it the more she came closer to a conclusion and finally reached it after remembering that morning at school. Seeing Devon again when it was clearly impossible for her to have seen him.
"He moved away at the end of last year." She muttered and hand clenched into fists.
"T-This is j-just a dream." She says and lets out a screech of anger and annoyance. Her eyes narrowed and she went up to Sora and without warning punched him, but only resulted in him turning into dust and vanishing.
She did the same to the others and everyone there "Let me out!" She exclaimed continuing to attack and was huffing in exhaustion by the end of her tantrum as outside the sky began to crack the dream trance losing its hold on her.
She walked up and glared at the sky before jumping continuing to go higher and higher until she reached the crack and punched it shattering the dream realm she was being held prisoner in as a white space took its place and she started to wake.
[Flashback End]
"So that's what happened when you were trapped in that trance?" Sora asked.
"Yes. At the time though you were still rather distant with the entire team." Cassie said.
Adam nods "Well at least she was trying to show off to impress someone like I did when Zisko and his monster showed up." Adam cuts in.
[Flashback]
"Got some rage there don't yah Red." Zisko said as he was pushed back before being kicked in the gut by Sora.
"I'll take that as a yes." He says blades clashing again.
Meanwhile the rest of the group had finished the foot soldiers and were now fighting against Slam Dunk doing their best to avoid the bats.
"Note to self: Thank Maya for the training later." Leo says to the others.
"Yeah. Helps the reflex's a bit." Cassie said slipping under Slam Dunk and stabbing a foot with her sai causing the monster to swing it's bats trying to hit her, but missed causing it to take a hit from Adam's hammer and was knocked to the ground
"How you like that ugly! Oh yeah when I'm around your just…" Adam started, but what he didn't see coming was a swing of the bats the monster having recovered and got up quickly. The wind was knocked out of Adam as he staggered back.
The others except for Sora gathered around Adam to protect him as the monster charged at them. AV fired some shots off at the ground in front of the monster which caused it to stop giving AV enough time to fire off shots that hit the monster. It glared at them before retreating via teleporting.
A yell was heard as Sora was thrown back as Zisko walked forward slowly and looked around noticing a lack of the monster he had brought along with him.
"Ugh figures he would take off. Consider this your day off rangers I have to retrieve my friend." He says teleporting.
Sora gets up under his helmet glaring at the spot that Zisko was at.
Cassie helped Adam up "Are you okay Adam?" She asked as AV watches as under her helmet she was glaring at Cassie and blushing.
"Yeah. I'm just…ugh…" He started before grabbing his side getting the others attention.
"If you were going to say 'fine' I'd say that hardly sounds like it." Leo says everyone gathering around him.
"Trans In!" Leo says raising his morpher as they all vanished.
"Do you six enjoy hurting yourselves? Or is it that you like my company?" Lurre asked hands glowing above Leo's chest. Her along with the rest of the rangers and Maya were in the general area.
"Hey. It's not our fault he got hurt Lurre." Leo said arms crossed as he waited.
Adam glared at him "What? I thought he was down." He says arms crossed as he yelps a bit in pain feeling something seem to reattach itself inside him.
"You are lucky it was just a couple broken ribs." Lurre said as AV looks to Maya.
"Aren't the suits supposed to protect us from harm like that?" she asked as Maya sighs.
"Yes and no. It can prevent physical harm to your body, but only up to a certain degree." Maya told them.
"Meaning?" Cassie asked.
"If Adam wasn't morphed and had been hit he wouldn't be here right now. That's how strong this particular monster is." Maya told them.
"But did you really need to act like a show off Adam? He was obviously still alive." Alvin interjects.
Adam huffs "Yeah I knew that. I was just…" He starts.
"Acting like a hot shot." Sora finished as he was looking away from him and the rest.
"New flash though Adam. Hot shots don't last long, and I don't know why you're acting like this now when you weren't when we started." Sora added and Maya shakes her head.
[Flashback End]
Eva nods in understanding "Y-You were trying to i-impress AV weren't you?" Eva asked Adam blushing in response.
AV smiles and gets up walking to Adam and kissing him on the cheek.
Leo rolls his eyes at this "Okay love birds I think that is more than enough from you two." Leo said to them getting a glare in response from Adam.
"Oh no don't you two start." Cassie warns them and they both stop.
"So what happened next?" Peter asked deciding to get back to finding out more about the other groups misadventures.
"I think the whole time travel with Abbinus was next. I will tell you it was clever having some monsters fight us while she charged up that device of hers." Alvin says.
[Flashback]
Sora, AV, and Cassie arrived at the plant which as expected there was electrical generators, wire insulators of many sizes, metal pipes, and boards along with miniature warehouse which probably housed and kept the generators so as they wouldn't get wet.
"Okay that crazy must be around here…" Cassie started but didn't get to continue as something was thrown at her forcing her to duck and dodge.
Cassie got up her, Sora, and AV looking at whoever had just arrived. It was Xolicernic and a new monster. It looked to be made out of solid rock and it had comically large arms that seemed almost too big for its body.
"Let me guess…Xolicernic right?" Sora said plainly.
"Indeed red ranger, and this here is Blocker. I will not allow you to stop Abbinius from charging the device." He says using his psychic powers to forge an axe from pipes and whatever else is around.
AV looked at Xolicernic curiously "Device. What kind of device?" She asked as the green skinned alien just laughs.
"You think I'm going to just tell you blue ranger? I might be evil, but I'm not stupid." He replied.
"I dare not comment on that." Blocker said as both sides ran at the other ready to engage and start the fight.
Leo, Adam, and Alvin arrived at the other end of the plant which resembled the front yet there was much more space and a lot less wires around as many seemed to have been buried into the ground.
"You know this looks like the perfect set up for an ambush." Adam said as he and the others walked forward.
"And you've been watching too many movies from the 70's Adam." Leo said to him.
"Then again he may have a point. This place is enough to do an ambush or make a reasonable fighting ground." Alvin says.
"That is correct green ranger." The voice of Dracotaur says as the rangers freeze looking around for the source of the voice. The sound of footsteps echoed as out of one of the mini waryhouse stepped out the hybrid.
All three guys tensed and got into a battle ready position as Draotaur laughs "You are the ones that Diablo is worried about? You're nothing more than mere children." He states and laughs again.
Annoyed Leo ran at him and tried to hit him, but the hybrid moved quickly causing Leo to miss and Dracotaur was now behind him. He fired off a blast of energy at Leo from behind hitting him and knocking him to the ground.
The sound of three people screaming was heard as Alvin, Adam, and Leo were tossed into the area by an explosion of energy and powered down to their basic Lore Keeper suits.
The six teens regrouped the three guys getting up slowly as Sora backs off joining them.
Dracotaur huffed "Pathetic. You are still a thousand years to early to fight me rangers. You may have power but you can't use it at all. Pity you will be down to five if the witch's plan succeeds." He said as Abbinus appears the device on her arm and fully powered.
"It is done. Let's go." She says simply as they all vanish leaving the rangers confused and injured before they were teleported to The Great Library.
[Flashback End]
"Turns out that device was called a Time Window which allowed her to travel back to the past. She went to the time of the Unity Force rangers, and was planning on killing AV's mom Stella." Sora said.
"Yeah and you were sent back to deal with her, and you met the Quantum Ranger while you were there." Leo reminds her.
"But I also got mistaken for a student…I hope that doesn't become a pattern if we have to do any more time traveling." Sora said.
[Flashback]
Sora continued on and unknowingly stepped on a stick cracking it and the two turned to him "Hey you! This area's closed off to the public." One of the men said and Sora ran on both panic and instinct the men giving chase.
Sora took a turn trying to lose them, but had run into somebody and fell to the ground. Sora looked up to see an older man with short cut pulled back brown hair and eyes wearing the same outfit as the rest he had seen, but a red beret was on his head and strapped to his left arm was a black and red device with a series of small white buttons on it.
The older man looked at the teen as the two men from earlier caught up out of breath and froze in place seeing the older man.
"M-Mr. Myers. We're sorry sir we didn't see the boy until the last second." The men said to the man known as Mr. Myers.
"It's fine. Return to your posts men." He says the two men saluting and headed off back to the front as the older man helped Sora get up.
"So what is it your doing around here? Get lost or something?" Mr. Myers asked as Sora rubs his head.
"Or something. Look I'm sorry for disturbing whatever it is your doing, I'll be on my way and…" Sora starts.
"So you're the new rookie huh? Well it looks like you got your hands full." Mr. Myers interrupts as Sora looked at the older man before an image of a ranger in red with black accents with a black and red helmet having a red arrow that zig zags down to the point covers the man then vanished.
Sora took in a sharp breath "You were a…" Sora starts.
"Yes, and technically I still am. I'm just not as active as I use to be." Eric Myers AKA Time Force Quantum Ranger told him.
"And I can tell a rookie leader when I see one." He added as Sora slumps.
"So exactly what is it you're doing here? I can tell for sure that you aren't one of this town rangers." Eric asked walking himself and Sora off to the side to talk.
"Well it's hard to explain you see well…I'mfromthefuture." Sora said quickly and then closed his mouth.
Eric nods "The future huh? Well not the first time I've heard that one." He said sitting down on the sidewalk Sora joining him and sighs.
"But that's not the reason you seem so tense is it?" Eric added as Sora tenses further.
"Tense. I'm not tense. I'm fine." Sora replied looking away and the older ranger sighs.
"You know you kind of remind me of myself back when I was a ranger." He says looking at his morpher.
Sora glances at Eric "What were you like?" He finally asked.
"Before I even became a ranger I had been bitter from…past experiences. Yet after finding out about an acquaintance of mine being the leader of the Time Force I became determined to prove myself and had found this." Eric said and shows the Quantum Morpher to Sora.
"I would often aid them in battle, but as the fights neared its end I was injured and gave up my morpher to that acquaintance. I eventually recovered and had been given back my morpher, and I could have just stopped there." He said as Sora nods listening intently.
"I turned over a new leaf after that experience, and that acquaintance has seen become a close friend who I always trust to have my back as I have his." Eric finished.
"Okay so what exactly is it your trying to say." Sora states plainly and gets a light slap to the back of the head.
"Don't distance yourself from others no matter the reason. There are some things that just can't be done alone." Eric said getting up along with Sora who was rubbing his head and muttering under his breath.
"Now I hate to say it, but you have to go kid. Me and the other Silver Guardians are busy." He said as Sora nods leaving the site and passed the Silver Guardians from earlier.
Sora walked about for a couple minutes unsure what to do or where to go as the sound of Police Sirens filled his ears.
"Hey kid. Stop right there!" A man voice said as Sora sighs and turns around seeing a cop with an irritated expression on his face and arms crossed as he walked up to Sora grabbing him by the arm.
"Woah. Wait! Hey what are you doing?" Sora asked as the cop pulled him towards the car and was opening the back.
"And what are you doing out of school young man?" The cop retorts as Sora slaps his head.
"Of course. Of course it would be a school day." Sora thought annoyed as the cop gets in and is rambling on as the cop car revs to life and was headed for another part of town.
[Flashback End]
"Yeah I saved AV's mom, but when I got home…" Sora says and winces recalling what had happened that night.
"Yeah after that you were gone for a while because your mom got in an accident." Leo says.
"Of course while you were gone Maya took that opportunity to upgrade our morphors, and we had our first face to face encounter with Diablo." Adam said.
[Flashback]
The group arrived on the scene and it was empty. There was no one there, and there appeared to be no monsters what so ever. There wasn't even any signs of the foot soldiers.
Adam was the first to notice this "You think they got the memo we were coming and decided to high tail it out of here?" He suggested.
It was then that the necklace around AV's neck began to flash as if signaling something evil was making its presence known. The rangers didn't have time to react to this or Adam's question as a blade of energy hit them all knocking them to the ground.
The group pushed themselves up and they noticed a shadow coming out of the alleyway. It was a cloaked figure, and outside the grey hand that was grasping a midnight black blade no features could be made out.
"I take it you children are the rangers?" An older man's voice said. The voice gave off a tone of wisdom and intimidation making each ranger hesitate to get up.
"Y-Yeah. What's it to yah pal?" Leo asked being the first to get up and recover his resolve the others quickly following.
The cloaked figure scoffs looking off to the side "Pity. I was expecting more from Lurre. Then again that girl is to sentimental for her own good." He said the rangers lining up ready nodding to each other holding up there morphers the dial showing their basic suit.
"Unlock The Legend!" They all called out spinning the dial. The guys were wrapped in their own color and silver while the girls were wrapped in their own color and gold.
All five rangers stood together and ran at the mysterious figure Leo was the first to get there and attempted to punch the figure who side steps out of the way and knocks Leo away with a swing from his sword.
Leo staggers back to the others all them stopping "This guy. Whoever he is…he's good." Leo states
The figure seems to laugh "You still don't know who you're up against do you?" he says.
"Rangers get out of there!" Lurre's voice called out in a panic over the communicator.
"Huh? Why Lurre? It's just some creep in a cloak." Cassie said into her comm.
"No it's not. That's HIM rangers." Lurre says emphasizing the threat that they were up against.
Adam looks over to the figure "Wait. So the big bad Diablo is an old man in a cloak?" he asked and then breaks into a laugh.
The other four look at one another and nod getting Adam's attention "From how Maya put it this is meant to be our trump card. Time to put it to the test!" AV said each ranger nodding and pressing the button
"BATTLE LEGACY, UPLOAD!" The morpher sounded off streams of multi-colored energy surrounding them gold and silver primarily taking over all the other colors.
[Flashback End]
"Even with the upgrade though we got our butts handed to us. Makes me wonder if we can handle him when our final battle comes around." Leo says hands clenched into fists.
Cassie puts a comforting hand on the yellow rangers shoulder "We won't know until it comes Leo so don't go doubting yourself." Cassie said.
Adam nods "I'm in agreement there, but don't forget what we also found out while Sora was gone." Adam said.
"Yeah. The fact that Abby Jones and Abbinus are one and the same was a bit much." Alvin said.
[Flashback]
"After that I didn't hear from her again. Well I couldn't actually. She was declared legally insane and sent to a psychiatric hospital." Mrs. Winchester finished the four having become quiet near the end of the story.
"Guess it was lucky that this Alex guy managed to find you and tell his friends." Leo said after a couple seconds of silence.
Cassie rubbed her chin "Just wondering, but do you happen to have a picture of this Abby? You know for our project." She asked as the older woman nods going to a shelf and pulling out a yearbook turning to a certain page.
"Here she is. That's Abby Jones." She said the four going completely silent.
"No way. That's that's…Abbinus." They all thought recognizing the human form of Abbinus which they had seen before.
"Things just got complicated." Adam thought. They cut out the picture and left deciding to tell AV tomorrow and call Sora as well to inform him.
[Flashback End]
"That actually explains why she went back in time, but it was too bad that I couldn't destroy her Time Window when I had the chance." Sora said.
"Hey she got the jump on you Sora. No biggie." Leo said shrugging.
Adam nods "Yeah. At least you actually opened up to us and didn't act like a brat refusing to listen to AV when she was put in charge." Adam said.
Leo glares getting up "That does it wise guy! It's go time!" Leo said as Adam gets up running away with Leo right on his tail.
"When I get a hold of you you won't know up from down or left from right!" Leo said as Adam screams calling out to the others for help.
"Uhh…should we stop them?" Peter asked
AV shakes her head "No. Those two normally act like this. Though it is thanks in part to a ranger veteran that Leo becoming more accepting of me as temporary leader." AV said to him watching what was going on with the two.
[Flashback]
"Something wrong there?" the woman asked as Leo shakes his head.
"Nope I'm fine. Don't need to worry about me." Leo said as the woman gave him a stern gaze.
"You aren't a very good liar. Did something happen to your hands?" she asked Leo setting the guitar back down.
"I made a stupid mistake that's all. I was just being a stupid punk." Leo said as the woman smiles a bit being reminded of someone.
"You know you aren't the only one to make mistakes like you have. In fact someone I know is just like that." The woman said.
"Yeah right. You got no clue what I'm going through." Leo retorts as the woman shakes her head.
"Actually I know more than you think, and so does the person I'm talking about. He had to choose between something he had a passion for or something more important." She explained as Leo huffs.
"Yeah well I bet he didn't have to deal with what I have to deal with." He mutters.
"Again me and that person actually know what you have to deal with." The woman said as Leo looks at her
"You can't do some things on your own. You have to listen to the person in charge even if you don't want to at times." She said as Leo takes this in and the image of a ranger covers the woman. It had the same mark as Dino Thunder Black on the chest, but with white diamonds and the helmet designed in the style of a Pterodactyl.
Leo blinked and the image vanished "Who are you?" he asked as the woman smiles.
"Kira. It's a pleasure to meet the next yellow ranger. Even if it's a guy, but then again there is the ninja's." the former Dino Thunder ranger said.
Leo chuckles at her comment as the news comes on showing the ongoing going ranger fight in Legacy Hills. Leo clutches his hand into a fist as Kira looks at him and nods.
"Go on. I'm sure you can get there quick." Kira said and Leo grabs the guitar case and morphs running out of DT Wave teleporting to the site of the battle.
[Flashback End]
The two now stopped as Adam had a few bruises and a black eye while Leo was on the ground cradling himself.
"Dude…low blow…" Leo says in pain.
"You left me…no choice…" Adam retorts.
The group shakes there head at them "Yeah it wasn't long till after that battle that I finally returned, and Robyn had cooked up something 'special' for when I came back." Sora says gritting her teeth.
"Yeah just about everyone assumed that you were a guy with me being one of the few who have known that you're a girl." Leo said shaking his head.
"It was quite a surprise." Cassie said and blushed recalling something that had happened.
[Flashback]
Sara takes in a breath "Okay I don't have much time before she does it, but Robyn is still mad at Alvin and Avalon for how they keep interfering in her business." Sara says quickly.
"Well she can't really do anything about it." AV said with a shrug.
"Except make your friends school lives a living hell. She isn't in charge of the cheerleaders and the school newspaper for nothing you know." Sara points out then shakes her head.
"Getting off topic. Anyways she is putting out a special edition of the paper this morning, and well…" Sara looks to Sora.
"Hey whatever she says people aren't exactly going to believe." Sora said as Sara tenses up.
"Even if it's a secret that you technically haven't been keeping a secret?" Sara asked as Sora tensed up hearing this as does Leo both looking at each other.
Sora gets up "I'm…going to go get some air." Sora said taking off out of the room.
AV looked to Leo having seen him have the same reaction as Sora "What is Sora hiding Leo? Don't lie to me as you know I will know." AV asked and Leo sighs.
"Might as well tell you all since you will find out in a few minutes anyways." Leo said and shakes his head.
He starts by looking at Cassie "First of all Cassie why do you think Sora won't go out with you?" he asked.
Cassie thinks a moment "Well there are a couple reason, but honestly I don't even…" she started.
"Well for as long as I've know Sora I know that she doesn't swing that way." Leo interrupts her.
Cassie blinks "Wait you just said…" she starts.
"She, but that would mean that…" Adam continued on.
"That this whole time…" Alvin added on.
"Sora has been hiding his uhh…her gender!" AV finished and Leo nods.
"Yeah. Sora is and has always been a girl." Leo said the others unsure how to respond to this.
"Why didn't Sora ever tell us? It's like she hasn't even gone through puberty." Adam said as Leo rubs his head.
"Yeah about that. According to Mr. Daniels it's a rare thing that happens every few generations where someone in their family won't hit puberty till about their middle teens." Leo replied recalling a similar conversation he had with Zane.
He then blinks "Are we really talking about this right now? Sora might want someone to talk to." He quickly adds as they all take off to look for Sora as Sara leaves to try and stop Robyn.
Sora was on the school roof frustrated. Sora was in fact a girl despite her boyish like appearance and rather confusing voice. She hadn't been hiding the fact that she was a girl it just never came up and didn't seem to matter to the people that were around her.
"Well it's going to matter now. Excluding Leo the others are probably going to be pissed I hide this from them." She says to herself and taking out a rubber band from a jacket pocket she pulls her hair back and wrapping the rubber band around makes a low ponytail and then she takes off her jacket.
The door to the roof opened the rest of the group coming up "Uhh…Sora?" Adam asks and she turns to face them.
"Oh. Hey guys." She says and waits for the others to start yelling at her.
"So…you're a girl huh? Well have to say that I didn't expect that." Alvin says trying to ease how awkward most of the group was feeling.
Cassie stepped up "Why didn't you tell us? Leo knew so why didn't you tell us?" she asked and Sora sits down on the bench the rest of the group doing the same.
"Would you have believed me Cassie? I look like a boy and have a voice that makes people question what gender I am. I didn't want tell you guys cause well…I just wasn't sure if you would believe me." She says as Cassie shakes her head.
"What we are trying to get through to you is that everyone has something to hide. It is only a matter of time before those secrets come out." He said as Sora shakes her head chuckling.
"Thanks everyone." She says.
Cassie was looking away embarrassed now realizing her actions over the years "Uhh…and Sora I'm sorry about well…you know. Well know I know why you always told me that I'm not your type." She says embarrassed as they all share a laugh including Cassie.
"Hey it's okay Cassie. I just figured you had figured it out by now. Then again I haven't said that I don't swing that way." Sora replied getting up and kissing Cassie on the cheek and headed back into the school as Cassie was blushing at the action.
"Uhh…Does Sora swing that way Leo?" Adam asked Leo in a whisper and he just shrugs.
"Honestly I have no clue." Leo replied and they all followed Sora on inside Cassie being the last.
[Flashback End]
Sora and Cassie look at each other recalling that before looking away blushing.
Peter looked at the two "Is there something going on between you two that we should all know about?" Peter asked and gets a glare from both girls.
AV rolls her eyes "After that happened we had a dozy of a team up with that team from the past." AV said.
"Yeah. Though we all tried to kill each other after we all met." Leo said.
"Not to mention the battle we had against that thing." Cassie said.
Eva looks at them confused "Umm…what exactly are you talking about now?" she asked them.
Sora shakes her head "If we told you about that we would be here all day Eva. So maybe some other time." Sora tells her and the young girl pouts.
"Yeah, but that didn't stop Xolicernic from wrecking our day. Considering that monster of his branded you and AV with those strange marks Sora." Alvin said as the girls shiver.
[Flashback]
Excluding Sora the other rangers were in a clash with Gearz, Shades, Dracotaur, and a new monster by the name of Stamper Brander. It looked like a bunch of stamps all clumped together with hands and feet. There was a strange marking with the letters DS on its hands.
"Ohhohoho! This is so much fun. You rangers just love to bounce around don't you?" Stamper Brander asked her voice childlike as she fired beams shaped like the letters on her hands from her hands at the rangers. The dodged each time resulting in a small explosion which was actually destroying Gearz and Shades.
Leo was engaged in another sword fight with Dracotaur "So we meet again yellow ranger." He says and they both go to kick the other knocking each other back.
"So what's up with stampy there? Diablo finally running out of the more fierce looking monsters?" Leo taunts as he and Dracotaur engage each other again.
"That…thing is not one of Diablo's, but it will serve to satisfy those two's obsession." Dracotaur replied parrying one of Leo's slashes and hits him with an underhand slash throwing him back.
Leo gets up and was about to charge at Dracotaur again when suddenly the sound of a bike was heard and Dracotaur was blasted and thrown to the ground as a result. Sora had come riding in on her Tales Cycle and was morphed. Her form now more resembling the girls as she pounds her B-Bracers together. On her belt was a second morpher. It was oval in shape with a flat screen and below it a turn dial with a button in the middle of it.
"Sorry for the tardiness. Morphers teleport function was on the fritz." She said getting off the cycle and they all lined up.
"No problem. We had it covered." Adam says.
Sora shakes her head "Whatever you say, but for now…It's Showtime!" Sora declares as they all press the colored button on there morphers.
"BATTLE LEGACY, UPLOAD!" The morphers sound off and they were all covered in the familiar light as they turned into their legacy forms.
Each ranger now stood in their legacy form and ran at the foes.
Leo ran right at Dracotaur the two picking up there sword duel from where they had left off. Even with the power up they were still even. It was like Dracotaur holds back and strengthens himself to match the power of his opponent.
Cassie flew above with Adam as they both flew down striking the foes quickly with their weapons or punching them with their bracers.
Alvin avoided the attacks that came at him retaliating with his large tomahawk by either swinging it, throwing it like a boomerang, or even smashing it on the ground causing a small quake that would trip his opponents to give him enough time to move back.
AV and Sora were confronting Stamper Brander head on. While she wasn't good with two blades she was doing enough to push the stamp creature back. It was then that Stamper Brander snapped it's fingers and summoned a large wide blade of her own and swung at Sora.
Sora crossed her blades blocking the strike and giving AV an opportunity to blast the monster with her blaster. She aimed it as Sora and the monster exchanged insults at one another. Bracing herself for the knockback she fired it the blast making a solid hit.
The monster groans as it was knocked down and AV went to Sora and they high five "Well I think it's about time we wrapped this up." Sora said going to summon there finishing weapon.
Stamper Brander leans up "Not so fast! Take this!" she shouts firing her branding laser which made solid contact.
"That should handle that pesky blue ranger…huh?" Stamper Brander thought as yes it was causing AV pain. Yet while it wasn't as intense it was also causing Sora pain.
The red and blue rangers fell to the ground and there morphs were cancelled which caught the rest of the teams attention. Stamper quickly teleported away quickly before the rangers could question her as did Dracotaur.
"Hey you okay AV?" Adam asked worried as Sora and AV gripped there sides in pain. It felt like something had been burnt into their skin.
It was then that Cassie noticed something. Burnt into Sora and AV's skin was the letters D and S with rather elaborate designs.
"I-It burns…so much…" AV said in pain.
"Maya! Is the teleporter up?" Leo calls out into his morpher.
"Yeah it is now. Did something happen?" She asked.
"Explain later. We're coming in so get Lurre ready." He said before he teleported them to The Great Library.
[Flashback End]
"I'm still stumped on how it was only me and AV connected. It makes no sense at all." Sora said rubbing her chin.
"I'm just as confused. Unless there is some connection we share that we don't know about." AV agrees.
Peter cringes hearing what they had been put through "Sounds painful. It also explains why you two were limping so much that day." Peter said.
"Yeah. Though we all were a bit more after fighting that bee monster. Took us hours to defeat her." Sora said.
"Well that is nothing compared to…those two." Cassie said as they all look down.
[Flashback]
Trice then begins to chuckle at the thought of a human girl defeating her "So you're this team's leader I understand?" Trice asked.
"Yeah. Got a problem with it?" Sora retorts.
Trice laughs at this and then stops "Excuse me. I just find it pathetic that the leader of this band of 'Heroes' is a pathetic female. I was hoping to trade wits with a brilliant young man." She says.
The group summoned there weapons and went running at the monsters Trice staying back as did Velocity before looking at Trice who gave a nod and he was gone in an instant.
The group was doing their best to work together "Sora on your left!" Cassie called out as a Gearz had gotten past her and was about to strike her. It was blasted by AV.
"What's wrong with you today Sora?" AV says as she blasted monsters back stunning them giving Alvin an opportunity to bring his weapon down on them.
"Nothing. You guys handle these things." Sora says rushing past the Gearz to get to Trice. Near the building and the trio of shades were placing the rigged explosives.
As Sora rushed at Trice she drew her strange gun and took out a small red cell putting it in the gun. When she fired it and it got close to Sora it exploded and knocked Sora to the ground.
"Pathetic." Trice says to her as Sora gets up and runs at her swinging her sword widely. Trice avoided the attacks and gets close to elbow Sora in the gut. Sora falls to her knees from the blow.
Meanwhile the rest of the rangers had finished with the foot soldiers and were about to charge in when they all were hit by something going at high speed. When it slowed down it was revealed to be Velocity.
"Hahahaha. You rangers are pathetic, and instead of focusing on us…" He starts and glances back seeing that the trio of Shades had vanished completely.
"You should have paid more attention to what our Shades were doing." He finished before looking to Trice who had beaten down Sora.
"Trice it is done!" Velocity shouts before teleporting away. Hearing Velocity she kicks Sora hard throwing her in the direction of her friends.
"Why you…" Leo starts about to charge when Trice brought something out of her pocket. It looked like a device meant to trigger something, and Leo stopped.
Trice huffs "Some fine 'leader' you rangers have yourself. In a war a solider no matter their rank must keep a cool head and anticipate their enemies strategy so that way they can prevent it. Yet it appears your leader was unable to figure out what we were doing." She said shaking her head about to push the trigger.
"Today is a lose for you and the world rangers. General Diablo is now a step closer to rewriting this worlds story." She continued on and chuckles.
"Till we meet again rangers. That is if you survive this." She says pressing the trigger and teleports away. After the trigger had been pushed and she vanished the explosives that had been set by the shades began to go off causing a chain reaction of explosions.
Sora got up still morphed and was about to run forward "Sora no! We have to get out of here!" Cassie says to her grabbing her shoulder to stop her.
"B-But there are still people that could be inside. We can't just leave them in there!" Sora said.
Cassie shakes her head tearing up a bit under her helmet "It's already too late Sora, and we will suffer the same fate if we don't get out of here." She says as sections of the building come flying out at them.
Having no retort or other way of suggesting them get any civilians out the rangers teleported. It took a few minutes, but eventually the entire area was blown to bits and nothing would remain.
Later that day the news would report it as a tragic accident and a total of thirty deaths had been reported by the cops that had come to check out the scene. No one had been sure what happened or what had caused the old factory to blow up. The school had been let out early as many of the ones that had died in the explosion had children and family that had lived in town.
Funerals were already starting to be prepared, and many people grieved over the loss of close friends and family. The next few days would be extremely difficult.
[Flashback End]
"I gained a bit of self confidence after what happened, but it came at too high a price. You guys learned it's natural to grieve, but blaming yourselves for something you couldn't control isn't your fault." Sora said sadly.
The group except Eva and Peter nodded while the Gold and Silver ranges we shocked that Diablo's monsters would go that far.
"We still don't know what exactly it was they were doing, but we didn't have time to figure it out." AV said.
Leo nods "Yeah because as soon as we finished fighting them we had to go back to the past again." Leo said.
"This time it was Xolicernic that went back in time to the era of Music Force and Jurassic Squad. He wanted to make Corey, Jared, and Artie pay for stopping him before." Cassie said.
"Before? So he's gone after them more than once?" Peter asked.
Alvin nods "Much like Abbinus Xolicernic was once human, and he was named Christopher Askew. He had kidnapped Corey once when he was human." Alvin said.
"Though since we didn't know exactly where he was we split into two groups to look for him. Me, Leo, and AV met the Music Force ranger while Sora, Cassie, and Adam got dragged to school and met the Jurassic Squad rangers." Adam said as Sora huffs.
"Second time I got mistaken for a student." She said annoyed.
"O-Oh my." Eva said.
"We did all meet back up, but during our first fight against them Corey, Jared, Artie, and Sora got captured. Artie and Sora escaped while Jared and Corey got caught, branded, and encased in amber." Leo told them.
"But we did get some pretty good backup in the form of the Spirit Warrior rangers as well as the Gold and Silver Unity Force rangers." Sora said.
"Thanks to a bit of trickery, a large amount of rangers, and Corey awakening his guardian power we managed to drive Xolicernic back." Leo added on.
"After that though we finally managed to do something that has hindered him and Abbinus since." Sora said.
[Flashback]
Xolicernic returned to the present time appearing at a secluded area, and was injured from his battle with the group of rangers, and from the hit he had taken from Corey McKnight.
"Ugh…That plan may not have worked, but I have more. Many more, and as long as I have the Time Window Abbinus made I can go back in time as often as I want." He says and was about to go back farther, but before he could he was blasted in the back.
Turning around he saw the six rangers unmorphed AV with her blasters in her hands having been the one that shot at him.
"Woah there buddy. Just where and when do you think you're going? Just surrender in a timely fashion and this doesn't have to end with the big hand coming down on you." Adam said with a grin as Leo groans.
"Seriously Adam? Time puns?" Leo asked as Adam just shrugs. Xolicernic took this moment to draw his weapon and run at the teens who role out of the way dodging.
When Sora dodges she leg sweeps Xolicernic who nearly falls to the ground, but using his psychic abilities catches himself before delivering a punch to Sora hitting her squarely on the head nearly knocking her out.
Cassie growls and jumps forward kicking Xolicernic with enough force behind it to knock him back a couple feet.
"You okay there Sora?" Cassie asked helping Sora to her feet as she was still recovering from the punch.
"Y-Yeah. Just peachy." She says as the others gather around her.
"Your pathetic red ranger. A female should never deserve the honor of being the red ranger. There are many more deserving than you, Corey, and that pathetic excuse of a leader for the Jurrasic Squad rangers." Xolicernic says.
Sora glared at him angry for what he was saying about Corey and especially Jared. She hadn't told the others yet about the present time Jared talking with her after their first battle with the dino monsters. She also hadn't told them she had a talk with the Jared in the past.
Sora's hands balled up into fists before she calms down and smirks "Well if you think I'm so undeserving then come get my morpher fugly." She taunts as she and the others morph into their Lore Keeper suits.
As Xolicernic ran at them they dodged and there morphers shined each one turning to the Music Force ranger of their respective color. They look at each other before nodding to each other.
"Unlock the Legend!" They all shout and they were covered in a bright light
Xolicernic looks on unimpressed at the Lore Keepers transformation.
The rangers ran forward at Xolicernic Cassie and AV getting there first and in unison tried to strike at him with the music sabers, but he stopped them with his telekinetic powers and threw them back.
Sora thought a moment before getting an idea of how to handle Xolicernic and possibly destroy the Time Window and grins under her helmet.
"Hey Askew! Is that the only thing you know how to do?" She taunts as Xolicernic turns around grabbing a large rock with his powers and hurls it in the directions of where the red ranger was at.
"That is not my name! It is Xolicernic, and you will do well to remember it ant." He snarled as Sora was slowly powering up the Music Saber as were the others.
"Sorry didn't hear you there Askew. Or do you prefer Christopher?" she asked in a honey sweet tone annoying Xolicernic who grabbed the nearest thing with his powers and flung it at her. This time it was a tree which she barely managed to avoid.
What she hadn't expected was Xolicernic to come rushing at her at the same time he threw the tree to which he gave her an extremely powerful blow to her stomach that would ordinarily rupture something, but thanks to the suit and the powers it had she would at most not be able to eat anything solid for the next few days.
Sora falls to the ground one hand clutching her stomach the other her saber "So…that's all it takes…to get you mad?" she asked laughing a bit before he kicks Sora to the ground.
"Don't test me human." Xolicernic snarled as Sora starts laughing confusing him.
"What's so funny?!" He demanded as Sora got up holding the saber with both hands.
"You buddy. In your anger…you were so…busy with me…that you forgot that…I don't work alone." She says between breaths back away from him.
"Blues Blast!"
"Jazz Swing Slash!"
"Banjo Barrage!"
"Heavy Metal Fury!"
"Hyper Active Hip Hop!"
Hearing the other rangers Xolicernic whips his head around seeing beams of blue, yellow, green, black, and pink coming at him from the music sabers.
"Rock and Roll Music Blast!" Sora shouts from in front of Xolicernic swing the saber causing a beam of red energy to hit him as well. The resulting explosion caused Sora to be thrown back, and when it cleared Xolicernic was still there.
"W-What was even in the point of that? I'm still here." Xolicernic taunts as each ranger under there helmet grinned.
"True, but I believe that wasn't our intention Xolicernic." Alvin says pointing at his arm.
Confused Xolicernic looks and his eyes widen before glaring at the rangers. While the attack did manage to do some damage to him he was still pretty much unharmed. What he didn't count on was the explosion destroying the Time Window.
"You…you…" He started as Sora went to join her team and then turns to face Xolicernic the group preparing to unleash the guardian mode they had seen Corey go into. Xolicernic sees this and decides it best to cut his losses and retreat for now.
Sora looked at the others and they all powered down to their civilian clothes.
"Well I think that takes care of this time travel business. With his Time Window gone there's no way he can travel back in time to cause any more problems." Adam says putting his hands behind his head and smirking.
AV shrugged "Maybe, but can't exactly say for sure if it's done or not. There's always going to be someone out there good or bad that is crazy enough to mess with time." She says.
"…So what does that make Maya?" Leo asked causing the others to chuckle a bit as it was Maya that made the TWA.
Sora shakes her head smiling at them "Well guys I think it might be for the best if we head home. We've had an extremely long day. Between fighting the dino duo, time travel, and fighting alongside old rangers I'm exhausted." Sora says to them all.
"Yeah I'm with Sora on that. Later guys." Leo says putting his hands in his pockets and walking off.
"See you tomorrow everyone." Alvin says and walks on home Adam following as they lived near each other.
"Good night." Cassie says leaving as well and AV does the same.
[Flashback End]
"Yeah that same night you found out your mom was already a few months pregnant. Speaking of which have they found out the gender yet?" Cassie asked as Sora smirks.
"Yeah. Turns out I'm going to have a little sister." Sora said as Cassie squeals.
Eva smiles "I-I'm happy for you Sora." She says.
Peter nods smiling as well "Same. Though after that it was a couple days later that me and Eva joined I believe." Peter said.
[Flashback]
At A&C Game Master was watching from a laptop as the six rangers were running away from a boulder in an adventure based video game "This is one reason I hate adventure games!" The yellow ranger's voice exclaimed as Game Master laughs.
"Hey ugly! I think you missed a couple!" Peter yelled from outside getting the monsters attention and setting the laptop down he walks out seeing Peter and Eva.
"Hahaha. Well it appears I did miss some kids." It said before holding out a hand shooting a pixel like beam at them and they side jump to avoid it.
Peter looks to Eva "Ready?" he asked and she nods as the both stand up and flip open there Lore Braces as the pictures of their Lore Keeper forms are shown.
"Special Story, Unlock!" They say together and as their morphors flash gold and silver.
They both turned back to their base ranger form "Must admit this guy is durable. Though I think it's time we both put an end to this don't you think so Eva?" Peter asked and she nods.
"Yep." She says as they both summon their weapons and charge them with energy.
"Silver Dove Storm!"
"Gold Phoenix Fire!"
When they swung their weapons the fused together creating a burst of energy that looked like a gold and silver dove that was set on fire.
"Game over! Game over! GAME OVER!" Game Master shouts before he exploded as both rangers give the monster a thumbs down.
"Tale End." Both rangers said as all the teens including the morphed rangers were released. They all saw the gold and silver and Lore Red walked up to them.
"Perhaps we should talk back at the library." She tells them as both nod and they all teleported away.
[Flashback End]
"I-I must admit I-I was surprised that I was c-chosen to be a ranger." Eva says looking down.
"You and me both." Peter says
"Hey you guys both proved yourselves quickly. Especially you Eva. You befriended the lost Lore Zord and convinced Peter not to finish it when he could of." Alvin tells them.
[Flashback]
Gunfire was heard as the plane fired at Fearadactyl making a solid hit and it cries out in pain. Hesitantly the MM lined up a shot and fired the shot making contact with a wing and forcing it to crash landing on the ground.
"Now the finisher." Peter said about to drop the entire bomb load on Fearadactyl.
"Wait! T-There is something I-I want to try." Eva said over the comms and Peter sighs.
"You know we have to do this Eva. It's just a machine." Peter says as Eva ignores him and gets out of the MM and walks over to Fearadactyl still morphed.
Fearadactyl looked at Eva and screeched "H-Hi there. I-I'm Eva." She says as Fearadactyl lets out a low screech.
"I-I'm so sorry for a-a-attacking you, but we h-had to." She added on and walks up rubbing the metal head of the creature.
"Y-You looked like you w-were in pain b-before we s-started fighting. D-Do you not w-want to f-fight us?" Eva asked and the Pterodactyl themed machine let out a loud screech.
Maya watched this from The Great Library, and seeing how Eva interacted with the machine made her wonder. She began to perform a scan of Fearadactyl.
"Please let me be right…Yes!" Maya thought and began rapidly typing.
"So that's what happened to you." She thought and gets on the communicator.
"Peter hold off on ending it. Fearadactyl isn't a monster." Maya said to them.
"If it's not a monster than what is it?" Peter asked coming down and dismissing the zord that was summoned.
"That's the thing. Fearadactyl is a Lore Zord." Maya tells him.
"I thought you said that there was only eight? One for each of us." Peter said.
"Yes I said there was only eight. Because the ninth went missing before the team was formed. It appears someone managed to give it a virus that put someone else in the driver's seat. I'm already working of riding it from the zords system." Maya said to them both
Eva smiles at this nodding "S-So is this o-one meant f-f-for us?" she decided to ask.
"Yes. Even if it wasn't I think this one has become rather attached to you Eva." Maya said finishing to rid the virus from the zord. The zords eye's flashed turning from the color it was to a red-pink color.
"Now you guys get on back here, and don't worry about Ptera. She'll be fixed up and restored to her old self soon." Maya said as the two teleport away.
[Flashback End]
Eva smiles "P-Ptera is done fine now." Eva says.
"Again that is thanks to you." Adam said.
"Still though we have Diablo to deal with, and we don't know what he has planned." Sora said.
Leo nods in agreement "Not to mention he has Zisko, Dracotaur, and possibly Recks at his beck and call." Leo said recalling his fights with Dracotaur and Sora remembering her fights with Zisko.
AV nods "There is also Abbinus who is after me." She adds on.
"Don't forget Xolicernic. He might be injured, but he is still around." Peter tells them.
"W-Wouldn't s-surprise me if he is p-planning a last stand." Eva says.
"Not to mention there are still a lot of True Power's out there." Cassie added on.
"Don't forget their seem to be some ranger forms we are missing despite having the True Power of that team." Alvin said seriously.
"In other words we have a lot of work to do, and still have a lot to learn." Adam said.
Sora nods "You said it Adam." Sora says.
Meanwhile Xolicernic was at an unknown location working on a project "I refuse to let myself be defeated. Soon…very soon they will learn what happens when you mess with me." Xolicernic.
Welcome everyone to the start of Season 2 of Power Rangers Lore Keepers, and this is the end of Episode 0. I can also say this for sure that this is by far the longest chapter I have written during my time as a fanfiction writer. Now I do want to make this clear before anyone actually mentions the team up with the Star Descendants, and that is this: The Star Descendants team up happens after Episode 1 of this season. Now while most of this is a review I felt that is was necessary in order to help people old and new know what has happened with the Lore Keeper rangers. I hope that you all enjoyed that trip down memory lane, and the hint as to what will be happening in Episode 1 of this season, but I can assure you that what happens you may or may not expect. So until next time this has been decode9.
