A day has passed since AV left for Reefside at the request of the Music Force Next Generation rangers mentors Kira and Conner. She returned hours later having completed the reason that she had been there alongside the unexpected help of Sora Daniels.
AV and the other rangers minus Robyn, and surprisingly Sara sat inside A&C relaxing and doing there best to enjoy the Friday that they had off.
AV though had her own thoughts "I'm glad I was able to help in Reefside. They had been experiencing a problem with an evil pink ranger for a while, but she wasn't willingly evil. She was a girl named Scarlet that turned to protect someone else." AV thought and sighs.
She then looked noticing that Sora walked in "Sora was also there in Reefside probably for the same reason because Scarlet is one of Sora's closest friends. She also met Noelle McKnight and even fought with her when Sora's sword returned to her." she continued to think.
"In the end thought it was Kayori or Next Generation Yellow that used my necklace to purge the evil from Scarlet returning her to herself, and she morphed for the first time sending that woman away. Though without her parents Scarlet is now living in Reefside with Noelle's family." AV watched Sora who sat down.
"As for Sora it's almost like she's starting to remember, but there's still Robyn to deal with. She also know's Sora's identity as the previous red ranger, and Robyn isn't likely to give up the red morphor without a fight." AV finished.
"Am I the only one surprised the crazy decided to not join us fun people?" Jason asked with a smirk referring to Robyn and themselves.
"I'm not, but where did that Sara go to?" Chris asked looking up from a comic he was reading as Logan huffs.
"Maybe she's sucking up to Robyn. The two are old friends after all." he says as Eva and Marcus frown.
"You can't say that for sure Logan. Sara wouldn't do something like that." Marcus says.
"Same. Maybe she's doing something to help better our situation." Eva suggested.
Jazz nods glaring at Logan "I'm with them to. I've hanged out with Sara long enough to know she's changed." Jazz states.
Logan huffs again "Alright, but the moment she starts going back to being Robyn's lackey I'll be telling you 'I told you so'." He said and AV shakes her head.
"Logan I know you don't think that. You're just angry at Robyn and are taking out that anger on Sara." AV said.
"Yeah. You have to chill Logan. You hardly know..." Marcus starts then stops when Logan glares at him.
"Oh...right. That prank." he then said his voice low.
Jazz raised an eyebrow at this "Prank? What happened?" she asked as Logan looked away silent.
Marcus sighs "In middle school Logan had a crush on Sara, and well as you know she was friends with Robyn at the time. Robyn didn't want Logan anywhere near Sara so well...she had Sara pretend to like him and then on their first 'date' she rejected him right in front of everyone. A recording of the rejection then showed up on the school site the next day." Marcus explained to them as their eyes widen.
"Ouch man. Sucks that happened to you." Jason said wincing.
"Yeah yeah, and you get why I have a 'little' problem with Sara." Logan said.
"Sara has changed Logan. I just can't tell you guys that's she trying to get her hands on the proof Robyn has on us." AV thought recalling the meeting that happened the previous night just hours after the battle in Reefside. Sara had been called in during the meeting and was requested to find Robyn's proof.
"Okay Sara aside we actually hardly know anything about one another." Jazz spoke up.
"Point taken. So what this suppose to be some kind of bonding exercise?" Logan asked and Marcus sighs.
"You probably want to get to know them to Logan." Marcus said. Watching the group from afar was Sora.
"They're so lucky..." Sora said and takes out her phone and begins looking through her pictures again. She had pictures of herself with Cassie, but there were also ones of her with other people including AV, Eva, and even Jazz.
The pictures just seemed so strange to her. They felt very special to her despite not actually knowing the people, and it was killing her to not know them.
Deciding to check her phone for anything else she goes to her contacts and see's the usual numbers she had, but there were more numbers in there as well.
"Alvin? Adam? Peter? AV, Eva, Cassie, and Jasmine's numbers are in here to." she thought and began to wonder why she had them.
"I-I need to try and talk to one of them. Maybe...just maybe they know something about my memories, and those friends I can't remember." she thought and randomly clicked on a number.
The phone rang and then clicked as someone picked up, but Sora hung up at the last second honestly scared. She then walked out of A&C her own thoughts overtaking her and recalled the advice given to her by Noelle.
"Don't force it. If I regain my memories I'll regain them. If I don't then I'll just make new one's." Sora tells herself.
Little did Sora know that following close behind her was Robyn. An evil grin on her face as she had a bag filled with all she needed for what she was about to do.
=LOREKEEPERS=
Sara had worked her way towards the park "Hopefully she hasn't changed. She usually keeps her important dirt and blackmail stuff here." She muttered as she headed towards the largest tree in the park a small shovel in hand.
She came to it and saw an area where there was dead grass was over a spot like it was hiding something. Sara smirked and removed the dead grass patch revealing the dirt and she began to dig. After a few minutes her shovel hit something metallic.
Putting the small shovel off to the side she pushed the dirt around the object away and pulled up a small lock box that required a key. Sara digs into her pocket and brought out a small key.
"Back when me and Robyn were friends we'd keep the important stuff we used to blackmail and embarass people in this lock box. Luckily I still have the key." She thought and opened the box.
Inside was a small journal, pictures of the Lore Keeper Rangers present and past, three different flash drives, and...
"An article on a school incident?" Sara questions and takes out the article. It was about a cruel prank that happened to a third grade girl in Unity Lakes. The girl had been literally gift wrapped with wrapping paper, duck tape, and ribbons. The people that did it were not mentioned and neither was the victim.
"W-Why would this be in here? She wouldn't have this in here unless..." Sara starts and grabs the journal looking through it nervous.
She came to an entry a few hours prior and she pales before growing angry. Placing the dirt back in place and the dead grass patch Sara puts the items back in the lock box and places it in her bag as she breaks out into a run.
"I've got to find her now!" She said and takes out her phone sending taking a picture of the article in her hand and sending it the others before throwing said article away.
She then added a text to the message: Might want to see this. I think Robyn's planning on doing the same thing to Sora. We need to find her now!
Sara continued to run nervous and scared for Sora. She couldn't explain it, but she felt the overwhelming need to have to protect her, and she had said that the other night. She was going to protect her even if it was from the person blackmailing the team. She also felt an intense anger toward Robyn. This prank...no this cruel joke was beyond anything Robyn had ever done before, and something like this would certainly break Sora.
"Sora's still very fragile. If Robyn does this and break Sora...who knows what Sora will do." she thought.
She began to recive texts from the others each one reflecting her own panic, and each saying where they would search.
A few hours pass and the eight tired out teens were all together meeting up in the town square "I think we've had to have searched the entire town." Logan said.
Chris shakes his head "No. There's still the small neighborhoods in and around town." Chris said and Marcus eye's widen.
"Her house." Marcus suddenly suggested and Sara understand.
"How else would she make Sora feel more violated? She would do this cruel joke in Sora's own home. Make her feel violated, and make her feel that she isn't safe anywhere." Sara said grimly knowing those implications might be more than enough to break Sora.
The teens ran headed for Sora's neighborhood which was in town, but stopped when AV's phone went off signaling a text. It was an unknown number with a video attachment.
Hesitantly AV's started the video and what they saw scared them. The video was from a low angle, but it showed Sora with duck tape over her mouth and bound together by wrapping paper and duck tape being kicked by someone. There was no sound, but the pain Sora seemed to be going through was evident.
The video was a half minute long and then cuts off.
The others run off as AV holds up her morphor "Maya! I need you to get a hold of someone. Sora...Sora is going to need some help." AV said
"...I know. I-I got a video from an unknown number. I already got a hold of Peter." Maya said voice cracking as Abby crying could be heard in the background.
The group arrive at Sora's house and walk inside heading straight for Sora's room AV being the last to arrive. Inside they saw Sora still bound and she was crying the duck tape removed from her mouth.
"Sora..." Sara says softly and sadly. She grabs some scissors nearby and begins to cut off the wrapping paper. It took a couple of minutes, but soon Sora was free and being cradled by Sara as she cried.
"L-Let's get h-her c-c-checked out b-by A-Abby." Eva stutters utterly surprised by the sight in front of her. The others nod in agreement as Sara clenches a hand into a fist and pulls the lock box out of her bag.
"You guys go...I have something to handle here." She told them her voice cold and filled with venom.
They teleported out as Sara took out the flash drives plugging them into Sora's computer "Okay Robyn. You've gone far enough." she said and copies the files sending the copies to her phone before deleting the copies from the drives. She then took pictures of the photo's and journal pages before burning them both before then teleporting herself to The Great Library.
=LOREKEEPERS=
Sara arrived there and saw that everyone was there except for Robyn, but there was also someone else there to.
It looked to be a young man of 19 that stood as tall as Jazz with blond wind swept hair and brown eyes. He wore a white short sleeved athletic shirt while over it was a white and gold varsity jacket with the number 7 stitched in black on the right side. He wore tan athletic pants and white sneakers. Around his neck was a gold chain necklace and around his wrist was a gold colored version of the same morphor they all wore.
Sara recognized him instantly "Peter Collins? Whoa it's been a little bit." Sara said and Peter nods.
"I know, and while it's good to meet you rookies as well as see the others I'm not here for you." Peter said and walks over to Sora and starts to try and calm her while the others got together while Abby was doing his best to calm an angered Maya.
"She's gone far enough! I don't care if she exposes us, but I am taking that morphor away!" She said furious.
Sara shakes her head "Don't. Besides look what I've got." She said and shows the pictures she took on her phone.
Maya smirks "Good job Sara. Knew that you could do it." Maya said and then frowns.
"Now excuse me, but I've got a call to make." She then adds on.
"You're finally getting what you deserve Robyn, and can't same that I'm surprised." Maya thought as she prepared to call Kira in Reefside.
Meanwhile Jazz watched with worry and turns away "Why can't I get away from that? First AV, then Lucy, and now Sora...ugh...why?" she thought gritting her teeth as AV puts a comforting hand on her shoulder to calm her.
"Lucy...please watch over Sora." Jazz then thought as they all teleported out deciding to leave their mentors along with Peter to comfort Sora while they find they're own ways to handle what happened.
And that's the end of Episode 3, and don't worry as karma is about to come and bite Robyn where it hurts. It took long enough yet soon Robyn won't be a problem for the teens that much longer, and Sora has someone supporting her. I did say I was planning on having the college rangers showing up, and given the situation I figured Peter was the best one to go for which he will be around for a few chapters. Peter will likely alert the other college rangers as to what is going on, and there reactions will be told either next chapter or just mentioned. Anyways until next time this has been decode9!
