[Flashback]
A younger Peter was rubbing his nose and sniffling as he walked down the street towards home in Warrior Heights, California. Bruises on his arms and legs were visible from the fight he had unintentionally gotten into earlier that day.
"I-I'm home." Peter says as he walks into his home, and was greeted by a hug from his mothers Beth and Grace. Grace was Peter's biological mother and before marrying Beth had been in a previous abusive relationship with her former boyfriend who was Peter's father.
Beth saw the bruises and gasped "What happened dear? Did you get into a fight?" she asked as Peter looked away.
"N-No. I fell down the steps at school." He lied as Grace sighs.
"There is no need to lie to us Peter. Were those boys picking on you again?" she asked as Peter glances at them then away.
Beth shakes her head "You can't let what they say get to you Peter, and you must stop provoking them. You barely know how to defend yourself." She says as Grace sighs.
"This is getting ridiculous. I don't understand why the school isn't doing anything to stop them." Grace says as Beth nods then gets an idea. She take out her cell phone and a small book of phone numbers.
Grace noticed this "Beth what are you doing?" Grace asked.
"If they are going to continue to harasses and attack our boy I think it's time he learned to defend himself. I have an old friend who might be able to give him a few lessons." Beth said in response as she dialed the number.
"Oh. You mean the girl that you nicknamed 'the ninja' right?" Grace asked and Beth nods.
A few seconds later the person on the other end of the phone picked up "Hey Sam. It's Beth. I need a small favor." She says.
[End Flashback]
Peter was woke up out of his daydream by ice cold water being poured over him and the sounds of a group laughing behind him. Peter turned around coming face to face with Robyn and her gang and scowls.
"Oh that was so worth it. You should see the look on your face fag!" one of the guys in her group laughs as Peter tenses up at being called that. Having two mothers and a father who abandoned him and his moms always seemed to follow him no matter where he lived.
"I'd watch what you say buddy. You might not like what you find down the end of this road." Peter warned them calmly being reminded of the boys that picked on him for the same reason.
"Oh really? What you going to do about it fag? Complain to your boyfriend." Another taunted as Peter is walking away.
They begin to follow "Hey we didn't say we were done fag! Stay and listen you might come to like or maybe love us." The first guy jeered as the group laughs and Peter seethes.
"They're only trying to get a rise out of you. Don't give them what they want." Peter thought.
"Or better yet send Robyn and the other girls to his mothers. They would probably just love that." The second guys says and Peter stops cold and turns.
"Don't…DON'T YOU DARE TALK ABOUT MY FAMILY LIKE THAT!"Peter shouts at them.
"Or what? You can't do anything fag. You and you're family as so disgusting it's wrong. Wrong for your entire family to exist." The first guy says and before Peter could retort someone else came walking down the hall towards them. It was Jerrica and she didn't look to happy as she had been hearing what was going on.
"Taking shots at family? Wow that's low even for you Robyn. Now scat or if you prefer I could give this recording of the conversation to the principal?" she says taking a recording device out of one of the boys pockets who locked surprised.
Robyn glared and then walks away her group following. Jerrica watches them leave and when they were out of range turned to look at Peter was while calmed down was still tense.
"So what exactly was that about?" Jerrica asked him.
"It was about my family. I well…I have two moms." Peter says as Jerrica nods in understanding.
"Is that way they were calling you that? Because they think you're like your moms and they think that you like other guys?" Jerrica asked.
"Yeah, but I'm not like my moms." He replied turning around to rest his head against the wall.
"Yet when people find out about my family they end up thinking that I'm just like them." He continues and lets out an irritated groan.
"I wouldn't know, but you couldn't have been the only one to go through this. There are plenty of people out there who have gone through something similar." Jerrica says as Peter glances back and then the bell rings.
"Oh well I've got to get to class, bye Peter." Jerrica says and takes off in a sprint down the hall towards her classroom.
Peter thought what Jerrica said over, and comes to a decision of his own and teleports to The Great Library. Maybe there was a ranger or two that had experienced what he himself had been through. If there was then maybe he could learn from them in some way.

Recks walked around the new base and she marked off a checklist of the various material's and such they have gathered for Diablo's master plan, but what was bothering was that no one knew what it was that he had planned. Not even Zisko or Dracotaur, and if they did know anything then they weren't going to say what it was.
"Recks." Diablo says coming up from behind and Recks turns quickly to face him.
"How goes the assembly?" he asked.
"Project Elysium is nearly done, but we are still having trouble completing Project Eden. Without that meteor I can't see how it can be powered." Recks informed him as he nods to this.
"Well then we must get it while the rangers will be preoccupied won't we?" he said to Recks.
"Umm…I don't understand sir. What is it you would have me do other than have a monster attack the rangers?" Recks asked and Diablo sighs.
"While I hate to do this grab the most dangerous monster you can find. Something that will put civilians in danger and will keep the rangers their long enough for us to retrieve that meteorite, and make sure it is compatible with the rest of the machine." He ordered walking away and Recks nods heading off to find a monster that would fit what was requested.

"Rangers with parents of the same sex? Well there have been a few of those." Lurre said to Peter after he asked the question if there had been any. Lurre was currently in an outfit resembling a maid as she was doing her best to clean up the library.
"Which ones?" Peter asked after hearing her answer.
"Give me a moment to think. I don't remember every detail about the rangers and their teams like Spears." Lurre responded as she walks over to the ranger books and takes out a few.
"Here we go. A Beast Warrior and Music Force Ranger book. This should help you a bit." Lurre says as she returns to her cleaning a feather duster appearing in one of her hands.
Peter sat down and started to look through the books one at a time, and after almost four hours of reading he had finished them both. Both had struggled with the same type of situation he had, but their type of situations weren't similar at all.
The Beast Warrior ranger had two loving moms much like himself, but the ranger had eventually met and rescued his dad with the help from the rest of his team. The Music Force ranger on the other hand had not been as well off. His mothers abused him mentally and physically resulting in them losing their parental rights and had been put in a foster farm where he was eventually adopted, but years later was attacked by his moms. They were later arrested, and it turns out how they found out about him had been through Christopher Askew.
"Even before he became Xolicernic he was causing trouble for the rangers, and he is going to continue to cause trouble even in the future. Yet how is the future one so much stronger?" he thought then shakes them away as he gets up and puts the books away before teleporting out.
=LOREKEEPERS=
Peter arrived back home and walks in to see his moms sitting on the couch waiting for him "They must have found out I skipped school." He thought.
"I suppose you know why we are waiting." Beth stated as Grace sighs.
"Why did you skip school Peter? This is not like you. In fact you've been acting strange lately dear." Grace says worried and Peter looks down as it reminded him of what he was hiding from his mom's.
"I-It's nothing mom." He says to Grace as both of his mom's think a moment.
"Hmm…could it possibly be that you're seeing someone? A girl perhaps?" Beth asked as Peter turns beat red in embarrassment.
"N-No! I haven't been saying anyone!" Peter exclaimed.
"If you have dear then you can tell us. That actually explains your behavior." Grace said as she looks to Beth.
"Considering how often we snuck off to see each other Grace we actually should have expected this." Beth said as both giggle and Peter groans.
"I'm not really seeing anyone mom." Peter tells them both.
"Then why did you skip school today if you're not seeing anyone?" Beth asked him.
"Umm…uhh…It's g-getting late. I'm going to turn in early. Night." Peter says in a hurry and runs up to his room before they could ask anything else.
Beth and Grace watched this and Grace shakes her head "Beth I am worried about him. With those monsters about Peter could get caught in the crossfire of a ranger fight." Grace said.
"It's alright Grace. How about tomorrow we go out for a nice dinner?" Beth suggested to Grace putting a hand on her shoulder to relax her.
Grace smiles "I would like that." She replied.
=LOREKEEPERS=
The following day all the rangers except Peter were at breakfast "Hmm…You guys seen Peter this morning?" Sora said to the others.
Leo shakes his head "Nope." He says the others doing the same except for Eva.
"I did, but h-he didn't l-look to good. I-I think he left the school." Eva says to them.
Jerrica was passing by with her breakfast when she heard them and recalled the other day "I think I know what it this is about." Jerrica says stopping and setting her tray down at their table for the moment.
Alvin looks at her and nods encouraging her to continue "The other day Robyn and her gang were bothering him about him having to mothers. They said some rude things including…sending some girls to his moms." Jerrica says seething as she recalled the other day.
"WHAT!" Eva exclaimed in surprise at this as the others were just as surprised that the Robyn gang would go so far as to suggest doing that, but to most it was surprising to hear that Peter had two moms as he had never told them about his family life at all.
Jerrica picks up her tray "From how Eva put it it sounds like Robyn and her gang are at it yet again. You guys should talk to him before something happens or he does something stupid." Jerrica says and walks away.
Adam watches her leave and was glaring a bit and AV shakes her head noticing it "Adam just let it go. We have enough to worry about as it is." AV said to him, and Adam was about to reply when the morphers went off and they took them out seeing the location of a monster attack. The rangers got up and rushed out of the room heading for the attack.
"Now where are they going to?" Jerrica thought as she watched the group of seven leave the cafeteria.
=LOREKEEPERS=
In one of the busiest parts of town a small group mixed of Shades and Gearz was being lead by Zoelle and another monster. The monster in question was a large crimson thundercloud with human looking arms and legs and yellow slits for eyes wielding a staff with a gold thunderbolt on top of it.
Lighting was striking the ground as the monster held up its staff and people ran screaming from the monsters. A morphed Peter came in on his cycle and blasted at the foot soldiers. Peter did a front wheelie and spun striking the oncoming foot soldiers before landing solid on the ground and got off it sending it away and summons his weapon.
Zoelle looks around for the other rangers "So you came alone gold ranger? How disappointing." She sneers.
"Actually I was closer to town so I got here faster. I guess I can keep you occupied till the others come around." Peter retorts and then charges at them. Zoelle looks to the monster then signals for it to handle Peter to which it nods.
The staff and blade clashed "Halt ranger. If it is a fight you are seeking then it's a fight you will be getting." The monster said and knocks him away with the staff before raising it up as a bolt of lightning hit Peter and he cries out.
"Blunderbolt is one of our more dangerous monster gold ranger. You see being struck by his staff slowly saps your IQ, and while it would be more effective against some smarter like your blue ranger Blunderbolt can also summon lightning to strike whoever he desires with it as well." Zoelle taunts and notices a few people around some trapped by debris.
Blunderbolt summons more bolt's of lighting to strike Peter pushing him closer and closer to his morph canceling. Two people who were still there were watching scared for the ranger, and wanted to help him in any way that they could. One of the two picked up a rock and tossed it which it passed right through Blunderbolt and struck Zoelle.
Zoelle growls eyes becoming much thinner slits and all three look to the source seeing Beth and Grace standing there Beth looking at Grace surprised by her actions. Peter was wide-eyed and moved to intercept Zoelle when he saw the look she was giving them, but was stopped by Blunderbolt.
Zoelle charged and neared the mothers, but was stopped when a kick knocked her away. It was a morphed Leo and the rest of the rangers ran up to him as Cassie and Eva checked over the moms.
Peter lets out a sigh and looks to the group "Thanks guys." He says to them as he was sure Sora was glaring at him under her helmet.
"We'll talk about this later. Blue, Pink, Silver get any civilians out of here. Yellow, Black, Green your with me. Gold that cloud is yours." Sora says as they nod and the other three girls help up the moms and get them moving away while Sora and the guys except Peter charge Zoelle.
Peter looks to Blunderbolt and hands formed into fists as he takes out the morphor pressing the gold button on it "BATTLE LEGACY, UPLOAD!" the morphor calls out and Peter changes into his secondary form.
Peter charges at Blunderbolt swinging his weapon which he dodges, but when it did hit it just passed right through the cloud like monster.
"You can't defeat me ranger. I'm a cloud. You might as well be fighting water." Blunderbolt says as he strikes Peter with his staff again knocking him back. Peter was getting frustrated, and running out of ideas.
"He's right. I can't actually beat him. Well if I can't beat him maybe there's a way I can at least cripple him." Peter thought as he dodged another strike from the staff.
Blunderbolt raised the staff summoning another bolt of lightning that almost struck Peter, but he dodged and looks at the staff an idea quickly forming. From how Zoelle put it all of Blunderbolt's powers came from his staff so if it was destroyed then Blunderbolt was as harmless as your average bear wearing a hat and tie.
Peter glanced and saw that Sora and the rest of the guys had gone secondary while Sora was in the Time Force Battlizer, and the girls hadn't returned yet so he was doing this plan on his own. Peter canceled his Battle Legacy going back to his standard suit as he dodged another bolt of lightning.
"Unlock the Legend!" Peter called out having already thought of a ranger form a bright gold light covering him as a bolt of lightning strikes right in front of him causing an explosion. Blunderbolt came closer to see if the gold ranger was defeated, but was surprised to see that he wasn't even there.
"Dinosaur might ready to fight!" Peter's voice called out in the sky as right behind the monster Peter landed and had changed into the Dino Charge Gold Ranger.
"Oh tricky are you ranger? Sure you changed ranger, but that doesn't change the fact that you can't defeat me." Blunderbolt says and thrust the staff forward sending a bolt of lightning at him.
Peter reacts by holding his arm forward and firing off Terra Bolt shots from the device on his arm neutralizing the attack "Yes I can't beat you, but perhaps I don't need to." Peter said as he took out three chargers holding the between his fingers.
"Dino Chargers, Ready!" Peter says clicking it as there is a small flash of gold inside it and Peter loads all three it into the sword pumping it.
"Lightning Final Strike!" Peter declared as he swung the saber sending out the attack at Blunderbolt, but it seemed to be going off as if it wasn't intended to hit Blunderbolt at all. The monster only realized when it was too late what he was aiming for as the staff was hit and shattered.
"NO! No no no no no!" Blunderbolt said scrambling as he went to grab the top of it, but a foot on top of it stopped him and the monster looked up to see it was the gold ranger back in his basic form. He had lost the battle, his staff was destroyed, and even if he couldn't be destroyed he was sure that Diablo or Abbinus would find some way to torture him as punishment for his defeat. Blunderbolt got up and did the only reasonable thing that he could in his situation…turn tail and run away for now.
Peter grabbed the gold thunderbolt top of the staff and looked to his companions and saw that Zoelle was exhausted, but just as much was the others. Zoelle noticed that Blunderbolt was gone and growls before she teleports away. The rangers glanced at Peter before doing the same thing heading for The Great Library.
=LOREKEEPERS=
"So that's why I didn't tell you guys about them. Though Adam already knew as he saw them once. I didn't want you all to go thinking that I was the same as my parents." Peter said as some of the group rolls their eyes others give him a sympathetic look.
"So what if you have two moms Peter? Sheesh their being same sex couples or marriages isn't exactly offensive. Hard to believe that there is still people who discriminate against it." Leo says surprising the group except for AV who smiles knowing that after what had happened with her and her eyes he was much more open minded.
"So you all don't think that it's freaky that a good portion of my family is well…you know?" Peter asked as the rangers shrug.
"Perhaps just a bit, but their family. Nothing you can do about it." Cassie replied as she thought about her own family problems at the moment.
Peter smiles "Yeah. You know perhaps I should take a bit more time to talk and spend time with them seeing as school will be ending soon, and after break well…" Peter starts then trails off as the seniors know their time is coming up soon.
"We'll cross that bridge when it comes guys. No need to think about it now." Alvin says to comfort them all.

At the Winchester home Mike and Stella had taken a rare opportunity to take the day off from working just to spend some time together. Mike grabbed the mail and looks through it stopping at the last one and was surprised by the name that he saw on it.
"Stella you need to come and see this." Mike says urgently and Stella walks to him and sees who the letter is from as well.
"Abby Jones mother? Why would she be sending us a letter?" Stella says as she gently takes the letter from Mike and goes into the living room to open it up Mike sitting down with her as they both read the letter.
Dear Stella and Mike Winchester
I know that a letter from me is probably the last thing you would have expected, but I couldn't stop thinking about the last thing that my daughter Abby told me before she vanished all those years ago. I believe it is time to finally tell you something that not many people know about involving something that happened to my daughter during her time in that facility.
The couple looked at each other when they read that before looking back at the letter
Through some less then legal means she obtained some sperm from a local sperm bank in Unity Lakes years ago. It was your husband's sperm Stella. I know this for a fact as she told me herself.
This surprised them as both knew that years ago a couple months after Mike had donated sperm the same sperm bank was robbed, but they had been assured that none had been taken.
My daughter was pregnant, and that place did whatever it could to keep it covered up including allowing one of their nurses take my sweet grandchild the day she was born. Abby had arranged so that after the child was born that I would take care of her till it was seen fit that Abby could be released.
Mike grips Stella's hand giving it a comforting squeeze. While Abby went through illegal means to get the sperm the child was still hers.
The child would be around your daughter's age now if not a few months older, but I can't take care of her at my age and my condition. I had once asked Abby who the child should go to if something were to happen to me or if I'm incapable of taking care of her. She told me that she wanted Mike and his wife would be the best choice. She wants her child to live a happy life so please do what you can to find her. Find my grandchild and the vile woman who took her and bring her to justice for me. Raise my daughter's child well. This is my last request.
Sincerely,
Annabelle Jones.
Stella folds the letter and looks to Mike who was shocked as much as Stella was by this revelation as both considered what to do about with this information and wondering if they should tell Avalon about it.

Meanwhile in Unity Lakes two woman who were talking with the local authorities. The first had worked at the sperm bank while the second use to be a nurse at the old Unity Lakes Mental Hospital. Both had information concerning events that had happened in Unity Lakes years ago.
The police chief came into the room and sat behind his desk "I heard that the two of you have some interesting information concerning some incidents years ago." He states as the first woman nods.
"Yes. I use to work at the sperm bank here in Unity Lakes. I was known to be the last one to leave the office, and the first one to get there in the mornings. Every morning, I always do a walkthrough of every room in the building to make sure everything was in its place." The first woman starts as she recalls that day and then sighs.
"On this particular morning, one of the examining room looked like it was used for something else and equipment were everywhere. I alerted security to make sure none of the sperm donations were used. However one of the sperm donors was missing. We alerted the police. We logged on to the computers only to discover there was a huge computer glitch." She says as the cop nods as he was just a rookie back when this incident had happened.
"All the donors information with the sperm number got jumbled up. We had no way of knowing whose sperm it was that gotten stolen until it got fixed. That fix took about two months to do. Plus the staff got really small. With me being the receptionist, I got off work at normal business hours instead of midnight. The reason why I kept it quiet for so long because I was being paid off." She finished looking down as the second woman pats the firsts back to comfort her as the cop raised an eyebrow this being new information.
"What was it someone was paying you off about?" The Chief asked as the woman takes in a breath.
"A-A affair. I had an affair with a married man and had a child. During those two months I met a nice doctor, and we both talked. He told me about his home troubles with his wife and I told him my own resulting in us becoming close friends and well…lovers." She says looking away.
"The wife found out some time later, and she approached me one day with 20,000 dollars in cash and told me to stop seeing her husband and say nothing about the baby. If I did she…she would take my child to raise as her own." She says tearing up as she recalled that day with a shiver.
"I-I took the money and left town without a word to him." She finished.
The Chief listened and hums in thought "I can understand what you were put through and your link to the incident, but you told the receptionist that what you knew linked to something involving the old Mental Hospital." He says.
The second woman looks at him "It does actually, but I should explain first sir." The second woman says as he nods giving her the go ahead.
"I actually was a nurse at the old Unity Lakes Mental Hospital, and one of the best at that. One morning there was a huge staff meeting, and the director himself told us that Abby Jones and Christopher Askew were to be supervised at all times in the common areas and neither one were allowed to be alone in their room with the other. It was actually surprising that the director asked that." The second woman started.
The Chief raised an eyebrow as he recognized the names of those two. While he wasn't involved in the Christopher Askew arrest he had actually been the arresting officer for the Abby Jones kidnapping years ago along with some from the local station in the town.
The second woman saw his look and sighs "Those two were surprisingly tight sir. Despite what they did in the past it actually felt like what I was doing was wrong. That is when I started to notice that everyone who would usually check on Abby's vitals and other things were waved away and a single nurse took up doing everything despite the rule that every nurse rotated patients." She said as he listened intently taking a sip of his coffee.
"This went on for nine months." She added on and the Chief felt ready to gag when he heard this as his mind came to the only possible conclusion for something like that.
"Abby had been pregnant. I came to that conclusion myself, and only a select few people seemed to know. That nurse included. I persisted the rotation issue to see for myself if it was true, but the director threatened to fire me if I persisted any more. So I stayed quiet." She said as he listened intently.
"One night I was getting ready to leave when I heard that nurse and Abby talking. Well arguing really, and then the nurse blackmailed Abby saying that if she didn't give her the baby that she would tell the director that Abby is stable enough to stand trial." She continued as the Chief frowns. If that scenario had actually occurred Abby would have defiantly been found guilty and she would have been stripped of any parental rights she had.
"She was in a lose-lose situation." The Chief thought.
" 'Allison Rebecca Jones has my blood, my flesh, and she came out of me.' Those words are still on front of my mind today. That nurse wanted a baby so badly, and I saw the nurse leaving with that poor baby that very night." The second woman says as she recalled the how badly Abby cried over losing her child not long after giving birth to her.
"The next day I reported what I saw and heard that night. I spent that night staying with Abby Jones. She was so devastated to lose a child like that. The next day, I reported to the director on what I saw and heard that night. He told me that I am on a forced retirement and paid me 50,000 dollars cash to keep me quiet." She finished and both woman sigh.
"Why did you two only now come forward with this information?" The Chief asked as he know had a clear picture of what had happened. The sperm bank theft made no sense, but then when you add in Abby Jones getting pregnant it became obvious why they had little to no information. Since Abby and Christopher were close he could have used his connections even from the Mental Hospital to get the sperm from the sperm bank and get it their without them knowing he was possibly involved.
"Guilt. I-I couldn't take it anymore. It was only after I met my friend here that we both realized the woman in both of stories was the same one. I want to do the right thing." The first woman spoke up as what she said caught the Chief's attention.
"Who is it? From what you've both said I have more than enough evidence to have her arrested on charges of blackmailing, and kidnapping." He asked them.
"Sonya. Sonya Henderson is that devils name." the second woman hissed.
"That child of hers Mildred Jerrica Henderson isn't her child. She's Allison Rebecca Jones and is Abby Jones daughter." She added on as the first woman nods and both get up and the Chief sighs getting on his computer to start looking for the person.

Cassie walked up to Maxwell's house. Earlier that day in school Cassie had been paired up with Maxwell for the final science project of the year, and it would count towards a large portion of their grade.
Cassie knocked on the door and Maxwell's mother Cynthia answered "Ahh Cassie. Max told me you were coming. Come on in." she says kindly.
Cynthia look at Cassie and felt like she has seen her before "Hmm…You know I don't think I gave you the chance to properly introduce yourself last time we met." She says as Cassie nods.
"Your right you didn't, but I was thankful for what you did. Cassie though is more of a nickname. My full name is Cassandra StClare." She says and smiles as Cynthia went wide-eyed hearing the last name.
Cassie walked on up towards Maxwell's room Cynthia watching her "StClare? Is she really sweet Gerald's daughter?" Cynthia thought to herself.
End of Episode 6. Now how is that for some curve balls getting thrown. Did you guys expect some of what was going to happen? Or did I surprise you all at all? Well either way we are closing in on the ending to this arc as well as the Zoelle sub plot that has been going on since A Bright Red Show. Next up will be Eva then we will be ending the arc with Sora.
