Sora and Leo had arrived early to school and both were at the red's locker "So you going to try out for the basketball team Sora?" he asked as Sora groans

"You should know the answer to that by now Leo. No, and you know why." Sora replied.

Leo shrugged "Just thought I'd ask still." He replied and grins a bit.

"And perhaps it would get your mom's attention to where she might actually show up." He added as Sora glares at him.

"You and me both know my mom is to worried about her business to be concerned with me. It's a lost cause Leo." Sora replied with a sigh.

"What's a lost cause?" Adam asked surprising Sora who clutched his chest and glares.

"D-Don't do that!" He said while Adam just shrugs and looks to Leo

"You hear that basketball tryouts are today?" He asked as Leo nods.

"I'm guessing you're trying out?" Leo asked as Sora walks off not wanting to get himself involved in their conversation.

Adam nods a bit excited "Yeah. I mean sure I've made the team and all before, but who knows. Though it would be surprising if I didn't make the team." He says with a laugh.

"So I guess that means you're going to be cutting training today." An older female voice cut in as both look to see Maya who was dressed in her regular attire and headed for the library with a good amount of books in her arms.

"Umm…uhh…well…I guess…" Adam replied nervously.

Maya looked at the two a moment before heading off "Be you-know-where extra early tomorrow then." Maya told him.

"I will Ma-Miss Spears." Adam says quickly correcting himself as Leo pats him on the shoulder.

"Alright alright. Come on we got home room buddy." Leo tells him as they both head off towards Mrs. Steps room to start the day and Leo would more than likely make her mad yet again.

=LOREKEEPERS=

Time passed and school ended for the day, and as Leo headed off towards basketball practice the rest of the rangers teleported to The Great Library where Maya was waiting for them, and scattered around her was hard plastic variations of their ranger weapons including a set of pistols that fired nothing but blanks.

"Glad you all could join. I hope you are all ready for combat training." She says holding a wooden knight like sword in one hand and Sora raised an eyebrow.

"Don't we pretty much have that covered? I don't think we need to go over something we already know." He asked as Maya sighs and shakes her head.

"Yes while you know how to fight with your weapons you don't effectively know how to use your weapons." She tells them and signals for them to pick up the weapons which each one did.

"Now while you can fight with a weapon using it effectively can make a difference in a monster fight." Maya said and signals for Leo to come at her.

Leo charged Katana raised as he swung Maya sidestepping. Leo continued to swing as Maya continues to sidestep as he was being tired out. When he was tired out Maya kicked at Leo knocking him in the chest and he was tossed to the ground.

"What you did there Leo while effective isn't going to prove to be helpful unless your foe is slow and bulky, and in most cases have some kind of defense. What you need to do is get in close and mix in some CQC with you sword swings." She says and then looks to AV.

AV took her guns and fired the blank shots at Maya who ran at her and zigzagged making it harder for AV to get a good shot on her. When Maya got close she hit AV on the back of the head with the hilt of the sword.

"Okay AV. Guns are great at firing, but you must make your shots count, and if someone is coming at you like how I did back away and fire at the ground in front of them. It will likely help to stop them in their tracks and allow you an opportunity to shoot at them." She said as Cassie came at her.

Cassie stabbed with the Sai's trying to strike as Maya backpedals, and in one quick motion she drops and kicks taking out Cassie's feet making the girl yelp and fall on her butt.

"You are close so while that is a good thing it's also some to be careful of doing because that also puts you in the line of fire for a physically tough monster." Maya says. She repeats this process with Alvin and Sora commenting on how they handled their weapons.

All five had ice packs on and groaned in pain from the training they were receiving from there mentor.

Maya's arms were crossed "As I thought. You five only know how to fight with a weapon, but you don't know how to properly use what has been given to you." She said with a huff as the five get up.

"Hey you can't blame us. We aren't exactly masters of the weapons we use." Leo retorts a bit angered.

"Not that I would have put it that way I have to agree with Leo." Cassie said.

Maya shakes her head "Then that means you will need to train more." She said.

"Fine, but training is only going to get us so far." Sora said

"We will have to make our own style I guess." AV added.

=LOREKEEPERS=

Meanwhile at the LHH Adam had changed into wearing a black sleeveless top and athletic shorts alongside everyone else who was warming up and getting ready for the tryouts. As it was going on an athletically built bald man in his 40's wearing a white shirt and shorts wearing a whistle around his neck walked in. He is the coach of the team.

He blew the whistle getting everybody's attention "So you maggots are the ones trying out huh? Well we'll see if you still want to continue after today." He said walking between them all.

"Now don't expect this to be easy even for a tryout. So I hope your ready maggots." He says arms crossed and divided them into groups to run various drill's and pushing them to go faster.

After almost a half hour coach lined them up and had them run suicides for ten minutes. Adam was managing have gone through this routine before.

The last bit was an actual skirmish dividing the guys into two groups. Adam was paired up with a few guys that he already knew in school, but there was someone he didn't recognize on his side.

He appeared to be a senior so Adam guessed he was around 17-18 wearing a white t shirt trimmed with gold and yellow-gold shorts wearing sneakers. He has blonde side swept hair and brown eyes standing almost on par with Alvin.

The coach blew the whistle starting the skirmish, and after another hour it was finished. Adam along with everyone else headed for the locker room to change and head on home the coach telling them he would post the results in the morning.

"Hey nice job out there." The gold wearing teen said walking with Adam out of the locker room. Instead of what he had been wearing earlier he was now wearing a gold polo shirt with tan dress pants and black dress shoes. Hanging from the side of his pocket was an old style gold pocket watch.

"Thanks. Not a bad job yourself uhh…" Adam said trailing off not knowing the other teens name.

"Peter Collins. Pleasure to…" Peter started as two older female voices called out to him as they came to the parking lot and Peter groans.

"Who's that?" Adam asked as Peter grumbles.

"Sorry. Got to go." He tells Adam and walks off towards the two older women who had been waiting for him. Leo watched him leave and it was then that his morpher went off a small map display popping up indicating where the monster was at and quickly took off to where it was at.

=LOREKEEPERS=

The six morphed rangers appeared at the scene and standing in front of them was Zisko with a squadron of Gearz and Shades alongside a new monster.

It stood a good head taller than Alvin it's skin as purple as purple can be and large and muscular four arms. It wore a football helmet on its head and on its chest was padding for a baseball catcher while extra large fingerless gloves were on each of its hands and it had athletic shorts and skates on while in each of its hands was an aluminum baseball bat.

"Good day rangers. Pleasure to see you again." Zisko said with a bow and looks to the Blue and Pink rangers.

"Perhaps it would be too much to ask you kind ladies to step out. Hate to see you get hurt." He added as underneath both AV and Cassie's helmets they were slightly blushing.

"Oh just shove it Zisko. You know what the answer is going to be." Sora said pointing his longsword at Zisko and the monster that is known as Slam Dunk.

The rangers charged forward going after them Sora jumping over the disposable foot soldiers and engaged Zisko while the others fought the foot soldiers and Slam Dunk.

=LOREKEEPERS=

Blades clashed as Sora and Zisko tried to push the other back in there clash Sora glaring under his helmet at Zisko as he pushed back.

"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.

=LOREKEEPERS=

"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.

"Maybe you becoming a ranger has finally gotten to your head or you're trying to impress someone. Either way you got yourself hurt and risked the others getting hurt. Do that again and I might be asking for your morpher." Maya told Adam as he got up.

"I suggest you all go home for now. While it is unlikely that the monster will attack again keep your morphers at the ready in case it or Zisko shows up." She then added as they all nod and trans out.

Maya lets out a sigh which Lurre notices "Is something the matter Spears?" she asked as Maya sits groaning.

"No. Nothing is the matter Lurre." Maya replied Lurre crossing her arms.

"I may not be Avalon, but even I can see through that lie. Tell me what's troubling you." Lurre insisted sitting next to Maya.

Maya glances at her "I-I have had a run in with...Tony. Well a few actually." She tells.

Lurre scratched her head at what Maya said "Tony…Tony…Ohh…That Tony." She said as Maya nods.

"I know it's been years Lurre, and yeah it's childish to feel so hurt and jealous I just can't help it. They forgot me. They all forgot me." Maya said hands clenched into fists.

Lurre shakes her head "What you're feeling is normal Spears, and while indeed childish everyone has had things like that happen to them before. Perhaps it is time you told the team about your past." She says getting up.

"No. The less they know about me the better. I'm just one of their mentors." Maya said as she used her device to trans out.

=LOREKEEPERS=

Adam walked into the school a smile plastered on his face and sure of him making the team as he approached the board. Several people were already crowded around it as Adam made his way through to see for himself.

After a few seconds he saw what he was looking for which was the roster of that years basketball team. He glanced it over his smile starting to falter. He checked it over again, and then did it a third time.

"W-W-WHAT?!" He exclaimed. He hadn't made the team at all.

"So I actually made it." Peter's voice said from beside him. Adam walks away heading for the coach's office.

Adam knocks "Come in." Coach said as he walked in.

"Well hello there Adam. Something I can help you with champ?" he asked looking up from his paperwork.

Adam rubs his neck "You see sir I just saw the team roster, and well…I was wondering if you made any mistakes?" he asked as the coach raised an eyebrow.

"What makes you say that?" He asked already knowing, but wanting to make sure his guess was right were this conversation would be headed.

"Because well…I didn't make the team, and I always have before." Adam replies as the coach sighs.

"Well Adam there are a few reasons why you didn't make the cut this time." Coach says to him.

"First of all you were sloppy and distracted as if you were worried about something else. While I can let it slide I can't afford to have a player like that on the team." Coach started.

"Secondly, and while I do admire it you were being a little too showy for your own good this year. I like a good player as much as the next guy, but this is a team sport not a one man show." He continues as Adam looks away.

"Third and finally I hate to admit it, but you were just not good enough this time. Point guard is usually your best position, but I had found someone else who could handle it better." Coach finishes with a sigh getting up out of his chair and patting Adam on the back.

"Sorry bud, and I do mean it." Coach said as he lets Adam out of his office and closes the door behind him. Adam puts his hands in his pockets and head off for his first class instead of heading for homeroom, but as he did so his morpher went off and a small screen pops up showing that Slam Dunk was in the area near the school.

Adam runs through the school headed out the front doors not caring if he might get detention later for leaving the school.

=LOREKEEPERS=

Slam Dunk smashed cars and just about everything else as it swung it's bats while Zisko was nearby trying to reel it in and make it come back with him.

"Now come on mate. You've done enough damage as it is and it'll only…" Zisko starts as a morphed Adam appears.

"Attract ranger attention." Adam finished hammer summoned and ready.

Zisko backs away "This blokes all yours ranger." He said before teleporting away.

Adam runs at Slum Dunk and swung his hammer when close enough, but Slam raised its bats crossing them like swords to block it. It then forced Adam back swinging it's bats hitting him again and again until Adam was knocked to the ground.

Slam Dunk raised its bats up high about to bring them down and possibly end the black ranger, and would have if it wasn't for a series of shots making contact with its chest causing it to reel back in shock giving Adam enough time to get up and move.

"Nice going hotshot. Next time have some patience and wait for us." Leo said he and the others having arrived already morphed.

"You know we all will likely get detention for that little stunt in homeroom." Cassie said as AV rolls her eyes under her helmet as they all took position Sora's long sword on his shoulder.

"Legacy of the Red. Lore Keeper Red Ranger!"

"Legacy of the Blue. Lore Keeper Blue Ranger!"

"Legacy of the Yellow! Lore Keeper Yellow Ranger!"

"Legacy of the Green. Lore Keeper Green Ranger!"

"Legacy of the Black. Lore Keeper Black Ranger!"

"Legacy of the Pink. Lore Keeper Pink Ranger!"

Sora pointed his blade at the monster "It's Showtime!" he said and they all charged at the monster. AV and Cassie were the first to reach it. Both got close and went into a series of punches and kicks which didn't seem to faze it. It swung a bat at each girl which AV dodged, but Cassie was to slow and was hit on the side of the helmet. AV fired off a few shots at Slam Dunk and grabbed Cassie from the ground before Slam Dunk could do anything.

The four guys got to them and circled around as Slam Dunk watched them waiting for a ranger to make their move. Leo moved first moving quickly Slam Dunk using its bats to block again, and barely forming in the bats was an unnoticeable crack.

The monster kicked the yellow ranger back and quickly swung it's bats behind it hitting an oncoming Alvin who ran at it after Leo was knocked back.

Sora jumped up high coming down at Slam Dunk who dropped a bat grabbing Sora by the neck when he was close enough to the monster. It started to squeeze Sora's neck who began gasping for air.

Adam hesitated unsure what to do as he watched what was going on "this is a team sport not a one man show." The voice of coach said in his head.

Adam charged forward swinging his hammer, and landed a solid hit on Slam Dunk's head causing it to drop Sora to the ground as Adam ran over helping Sora up.

"T-Thanks." Sora says taking in a large breath of air the others getting up as well.

"So ideas?" Leo asked.

"Let's actually try working together. We're a team not a one man show." Adam says to them as they all took positon.

All six spun the dial each landing on a different black ranger "Unlock the Legend!" They all shout bands of black energy going around them transforming into a different black ranger.

Leo was first as his suit went black white going down the center of the suit and emblemized on the suite was what could only be described as a compass looking symbol. On the arms, legs, and serving as a belt was a set of silver bands. The gloves and boots were solid black. A blaster was attached to the belt.

"Kick into overdrive! Black Ranger!" Leo says a hammer in hands.

Cassie was next as her suit changed to black. Yellow gear like bands attached to the white gloves and black boots. A yellow belt held her skirt as silver buckle like straps attached to her a gold 4 appeared on her chest the helmet changing a sharp V like visor taking place as a sharper helmet replaced hers.

"RPM Black Ranger!" Cassie said.

Alvin was next as his suit went all black except for the gloves, boots, and belt which remained white. Across his chest was a white strip with small squares of Red, Blue, Yellow, Black, and Pink going across it. The helmet was simple in design with white around the visor.

"In Space Black Ranger!" Alvin sounded off.

AV was covered in a black light as the first thing to change was a black bison like helmet the white gloves remaining as black overtook the blue bands of yellow gold on the gloves and boots. Emblemized on the left corner of the suit was a bison as well as on the belt buckle which held the skirt.

"Wild Force Black Ranger!" AV exclaimed.

Sora was next as like AV his helmet was the first to change into a black helmet with a yellow headband like thing above the visor. A White V extended down from the shoulders to above the middle of the chest ending with a yellow triangle. In the corner was a white lightning bolt like symbol and a katana was strapped to his back.

"Black Aquitar Ranger!" Sora says drawing the blade.

Adam was last gold shoulder guard and diamond like shapes appearing on his suit and the imprint of a tyrannosaurus foot with a circle going around it appeared on his chest and the helmet shifted a saber appearing in hand.

"Bracio Power!" Adam finished.

"Black Rangers Ready!" All six said together.

Slam Dunk was unprepared for this as the six charged at him. Slam Dunk raised up its bats to block the attacks, and as things went on the bats began to crack until finally Adam attacking caused the bats to visibly crack and shattered.

The six cancelled there changes going back to their basic Lore Keeper form each of them pressing the button to summon the Lore Blaster Sora and Adam trading places.

"Lore Blaster armed." Sora started

"Target locked on." Cassie added

"Rangers at the ready." Alvin continues.

"Ready." Leo added.

"Aim…" AV states

"Fire!" Adam finishes pulling the trigger causing the gun the fire up and shoot multicolored lasers at Slam Dunk to explode.

"Tale End." Adam says the blaster vanishing and he took in a breath.

"Guys I'm sorry about yesterday. I guess I let things get a bit to my head and I needed a good knock to it to bring me down to reality." He says rubbing his side.

"No problem. Next time though it'll be me and not a monster." Leo says to him. It was then that a small quake occurred before a pulse of energy hit Slam Dunk's remains resurrecting him to giant size equipped with his bats.

"Maya send the zords." Sora says into the morpher.

"There on their way now." Maya replied as the six zords appeared and Sora turned the dial on his morpher to the megazord formation.

"Unite the Legend!" He says as the zords go through the process of transforming and in streaks of energy the six appear on their intended platforms.

"Tales Megazord Online!" The six declared before the TM charges forward swinging it's sword at Slam Dunk who blocked with two of its bats before swing with the others staggering the TM.

Inside the TM the six rangers looked at one another "I got an idea, but you're going to have to let me take over." Adam says as Sora rather reluctantly agrees his and Adam's platforms trading places.

Slam Dunk came at the TM again, but when it got close the TM raised one of its legs up hitting it was hit and staggered back and the TM changed how it held the sword wielding it backhanded and went at Slam Dunk hitting it with a couple of backhanded strikes and kicking it again.

Slam Dunk grew enraged and let out a shrill shout causing the rangers inside the TM to cover the ears and left them open to a strike from its bats. The TM staggered back falling to the ground as Slam Dunk towered over the TM.

The TM's arms shot up dropping the sword and grabbing hold of two of the monsters arm allowing it enough support to get back up and then pushed it back before grabbing the sword from the ground.

"You know you think this thing would at least talk some. It hasn't this whole time." Cassie says from inside hands on her hips.

"I think the thing is a mute Cassie." Alvin says.

"Mute or not fun time is over." Adam says the others nodding in agreement as Sora holding his sword with both hands raised it up high the others doing the same acting as if they were holding a sword. Outside the TM was doing the same as the rangers as the blade seemed to gain energy and gained a golden aura around it.

"Tales Megazord Blade Rush!" All six said together and the TM was propelled at high speed at Slam Dunk who crossed it's bats to try and defend itself, but the enhanced blade cut through the bats and was struck five times before using the rest of it's momentum did one final strike ending up behind Slam Dunk who fell to the ground exploding.

"Tale End." Adam says as most of the rangers break out cheering and celebrating.

=LOREKEEPERS=

Sora sighs walking on home after the battle that had just occurred. Meanwhile the others were at A&C celebrating the most recent victory, and Leo had tried to convince Sora to join in on it, but didn't because Sora honestly didn't want to run the possibility of staying late risk mom picking him up.

Sora opened the door to his house and when he walked in it was dark. He just shrugged and was headed on up, but froze on the spot when a nearby light turned on. Sora turns to face who it is and come face to face with mom who looked rather angry.

"Where have you been Sora? I got a call from the school that you…did something to your homeroom teacher!" Mrs. Daniels says annoyed as Sora crosses his arms looking away.

"Why do you care? You're never home." Sora said in a huff to his mother.

"Don't you dare start. You're the one in trouble not me." She said tapping her foot in annoyance.

Mrs. Daniels puts a hand to her head "Why do you do this to me Sora? I can't afford any trouble or distractions with what's going on right now at work." She says and Sora shakes.

"Work work work work work! That's all you care about mom!" Sora shouts hands clenched into fists.

"Ever since we moved here you haven't had time for me or dad! It's always your work!" Sora continues to shout.

"My work is essential to this families well-being. It's what helps keep food on the table and a roof over us." Mrs. Daniels replies as Sora shakes a bit more and turns away saying something under his breath.

"What was that." Mrs. Daniels says.

Sora just glares back "I mean it. Tell me what you just said." She demands.

"Fine you want to know. I wish dad had never met you. If anything I wish dad had married Aunt Tia or Aunt Liz. They actually care about me and want to be around me!" Sora shouts and runs upstairs and the sound of a door slamming was heard and Mrs. Daniels flinched and tears up she walks off headed for the master bedroom.

Hi everyone, and first off I want to say that I am sorry for the three week plus wait. With holidays and my brothers birthday two days after one of the biggest holidays of the year I had to put this off to the side and make time to get some gifts. Plus this chapter took me a lot of time and made me a bit stressed so I had to kind of rush it which I am sorry about. Two chapters left. Until next time this has been Decode9.
