=UNIVERSE=

It was Friday morning and to say the school was buzzing was an understatement as the football team would be having a big game that night. The girls basketball team would be doing try outs as well as cheer leading, and some clubs would be starting up as well.

Charles was whistling to himself as the others knew why "Looking forward to the game tonight Mr. Quarterback?" Morgana asked.

Charles nodded "Yep. It's extra special since it's an exhibition game." Charles said and Drew knew.

"Right. Every year around this time Walkerton and Milky Way host a special game. I believe that it's being held here this year." Drew said.

"Oh yeah, and we are going to kick Walkerton's butt!" Charles said grinning.

Frankie glanced at him "You know it's funny that your into team based sports. Considering that you consider yourself a lone wolf." She says plainly.

Charles rolled his eyes "I'll admit that I'm not exactly a team player, but what gets me into it is the strategies used by the offense and defense." He told them holding up a finger.

"And I don't just mean the physical plays as the game can also mess with your mind. You don't know what can be coming or if a sudden adjustment might be made." He added on.

Morgana nods as she looked to Drew "Well that's good and all, but me and Drew are going to be busy after school. A creative writing club is starting, and the two of us decided we're going to join." She explained.

Drew nodded "Not only will it help me with my writing, but it might also give me some inspiration for..." He started then stopped deciding not to tell them what he was doing.

"I'm making a new cosplay video for my channel. Frankie volunteered to help me out with it." Nora said as Frankie nods.

"Have to say it's actually fun. Plus it'll give me a chance to test out a new mini camera drone I've been working on. It'll probably get a better shot of things than Nora's regular camera." She said hands behind her head.

Morgana smiles "Oh I'll be looking forward to seeing it. Have to say when I first saw your videos it didn't interest me much. Now I kind of like it." Morgana admitted as she rather liked the cosplay she had been helping show before the Ramiel incident happened.

"Well glad that I can spread my love for cosplaying to someone else." Nora said.

They got to the lunch room and each grabbed breakfast "You know this is still taking some getting use to. We haven't been...friends long, but still getting use to it." Charles said as he has started getting use to the rest of them.

Frankie nods as while she did mostly consider them friends she still didn't fully trust them. Glancing around though Frankie could tell that some people were whispering and glancing at them, but the one group that unnerved her the most was the cheerleaders.

Seeing them reminded her of that prank that happened to her years ago, and she shivered as she recognized several of them as ones involved in the prank.

She glanced over at Charles and sighs "They must not like the fact that 'ugly' girls are hanging around with the schools biggest jock." She thought hopeful that they wouldn't try anything, but she knew better than anyone which scared her.

"They probably wouldn't go for Morgana as they know she'd probably punch their lights out. That means me and Nora will probably be targeted." Frankie thought as she knew what those cheerleaders were capable of.

As she walked though she bumped into someone and fell to the ground her breakfast falling to the ground relatively okay "Hey! Watch were your..." She started then stopped as she noticed who she bumped into and blushed.

It was a boy about her age with tanned skin, black hair, deep teal eyes, and was wearing athletic clothes. He was part of the football team along with Charles, and was one of the most popular boys in the school for years.

The guy offered his hand "Sorry about that Franseca. Guess I wasn't watching were I was going." The guy said helping her up.

"No! No no no no Shawn! Your just fine. I-I just tripped! You know me and my two left feet." She says in a hurry looking away hiding a blush as the guy Shawn laughed and Frankie blushed even darker looking like she would melt like a puddle of goo at any moment.

Charles smirked and slapped Shawn's back "Hey Shawn. Looking forward to the game tonight?" He asked.

Shawn nods and raises his fist into the air "Oh you bet captain! This year is going to be our year to win the big exhibition!" He says and the two fist bump before Shawn starts to walk away.

"See you tonight captain." He said and as he left towards the table with some other football players and cheerleaders as Frankie sighed looking at him like she was in a trance.

Morgana waved a hand in front of Frankie eyes "Uhh...Earth calling Frankie. Do you read? Frankie...Frankie...FRANKIE!" Morgana starts then eventually shouted in her ear getting her attention.

"Wha! Huh? Who?" She starts then realizes the others are still there and they couldn't help but chuckle a bit at her and Frankie blushes again.

"What? What's so funny?" Frankie asked.

Charles shakes his head "You have a crush on Shawn. Don't you?" He asked plainly.

Frankie looked away "No. No I don't, and even if I did...he wouldn't like me. They would make sure of it." She said and after picking up her breakfast walks away before anyone could ask her who she was talking about.

"Anyone get the feeling we're out of the loop about something?" Morgana asked raising an eyebrow at the others.

Nora sighed as she decided that maybe later before going to her house she'd try to talk to Frankie and find out what is wrong with her. If she was right she had a embarrassing experience much like herself that changed her.

What all of them didn't notice was that a group of vengeful cheerleaders at another table were looking over at their table glaring at Nora. They were already forming a plan to put the teen in her place for daring to take away one of their fellow cheerleaders 'supposed' boyfriends.

"I tell you she's not getting away with it." The lead one said in a whisper to three others.

"Yes. No one takes my Charlie." The second one said angered hands gripped into fists.

The third looks at the leader a bit excited "Can I plan the prank this time? I mean you got to plan the last one to show how ugly Franseca is to my Shawny." The third pleaded as they all chuckle at this.

"Oh that was a riot. Did you see the face she had? Oh and the tears..." The fourth said and started laughing again.

The first rolled her eyes "Yes it was a riot, but if we're going to teach her a lesson we're going to have to do something that tops what we did to little Miss Donaldson." She said then looks to the third with a nod

"You plan it this time. Also have your phone ready this time. I want a permanent reminder of what we did so we can laugh at it and her anytime we want." The leader said.

The third giggled already forming an idea in her head "Oh don't worry I got just the thing. By this time tonight Nora is going to be so embarrassed she won't dare mess with any of our men." She said.

=UNIVERSE=

As classes went Frankie did her best to avoid the others as she was pretty sure that her behavior and actions would make them worried. She didn't want to go opening that can of worms again and reopen her old wounds.

"Besides it's been almost five years since that happened." Frankie thought as she was in the Library tinkering with her glasses.

"Ah. Thought I might find you here." Nora's soft voice said as she found Frankie, and said girl flinches hesitantly looking up meeting Nora's kind eyes as said girl was a bit close. Frankie yelps and tips the chair back to far falling to the ground.

Frankie groans a bit in pain from her head hitting the ground then pulls herself up "Hi Nora. You know you got a little to close there." She said, and Nora blushes embarrassed.

"Sorry. I didn't think that I was to close." Nora replied messing with her own hair.

Frankie sighed "Okay what do you want Nora?" She asked starting to tinker with her glasses yet again as she took out a mini SD card from the glasses frame and puts in a new one.

Nora rubs her shoulder "Umm...I was wondering if we could talk. Mainly about you know...about earlier." She said.

Frankie frowns "Well I don't want to talk about it." She said.

Nora sighed as she knew this would be hard, but also knew what to do "Frankie...I think I know better than anyone that something drastic happened to you. Something to change you." She says softly and Frankie freezes.

"Oh? Just what make you think you'd know my pain and embarrassment?" Frankie growled out, and while it slightly scared Nora it didn't stop Nora as she sat down across from Frankie.

"Well...you see..." Nora said, and then went on to explain to Frankie about the incident that happened to her ten years ago, what the boys did to her, the old lady with the dog that helped her, and how it developed her fear of strangers.

Frankie listened to this "Wow...I guess you are one of the only people who shares a similar pain to my own." She said.

"So...will you please tell me what's wrong?" Nora asked.

Frankie nods looking down "It goes back to my eleventh birthday. You see my physical maturity was catching up to my mental maturity. So I experienced my growth spurt, and other things soon." She started.

[Flashback 4 11/12 Years Ago]

"Now just hold still Franseca. Let me finishing dressing you." Her mother said as she finished dressing 11 year old Franseca. She was a bit tall for her age and looked much more mature that she should.

Her reddish brown hair was long and flowing down her back framing her eyes and feckless face and eyes. She wore a black sleeveless athletic top, with a purple tube top over it. She wore a short layered ruffled purple skirt that had stardust trail designs in a pearl white, white leggings, and similar colored shoes with purple flats. Around her neck she wore a gold necklace with a pink and gold heart pendant.

Her mom hugs her "Oh you look so adorable Franseca." she says.

"Mom!" Franseca whines and her mom lets go of her.

She then kissed her on the head "Now I hope you have a good day sweetie, and happy birthday." She says and Franseca waves at her mother and heads for the academy.

As she went in she didn't know that she was making an impression as other fifth grade boys were looking at the cute and beautiful girl that Franseca was.

Yet four girls who in the grade were collectively known as The Four Angels frowned looking annoyed. They're names were Anna, Angie, Athena, and Alice.

As Franseca walked she wasn't looking where she was going and bumped into someone falling down "Oh. I'm sorry about that." A young boys voice said and Franseca looked up instantly blushing.

"H-Hi Shawn. I'm sorry about bumping into you." She says bowing after being helped up.

"It's cool. Hey to make up for it how about I give you my ice cream at lunch later?" He suggested and Franseca looks away hiding her blush and just nods.

At both walked away Alice was screeching and putting up a fit, but Franseca didn't pay it any attention as she couldn't' really hear what she was putting up a fuss over.

Much later near the end of school Franseca was headed for the gym as she got a note from Shawn asking her if they could meet up before school ended. He wanted to talk to her about something involving the two of them.

Franseca entered the back of the stage as instructed "Shawn? Hello? I'm here like you asked." She called out, but since no one came, and hearing sounds of kickball going on in the main gym she turned to leave.

She didn't move though as when she turned something dropped on her and she let out a yowl as it was cold and red. It was fake blood, but before she could even comprehend that something else fell and soon enough she was coated head to toe in feathers.

She then heard laughed and saw it was four particular girls, and she prepared to run, but was stopped one of the girls tackling her. She cried out as she was tied up and lifted in the air a sign put on her that said 'I'm ugly and deserve no one'.

It was then that Alice hit a lever pulling back the curtains putting her on display in front of the ongoing fifth grade kickball tournament. It stopped, and seen Franseca like that students started to laugh, point, and a few kicked some balls towards her. Already tearing up Franseca just started crying.

"That's what you get! Shawny is mine!" Alice said as she and the other three girls laugh and Franseca just closed her eyes crying unable to bear the laughter. What she didn't notice is that Shawn wasn't laughing at all.

It was a few minutes later that Frankie was lowered by a teacher she didn't know which was actually Mrs. Umbra, and the four girls were taken toward the principals office. The most that they had gotten was suspended for a month for there actions.

As for Franseca she began wearing different cloths to hide her natural beauty, geeky glasses, and fake freckles. She was also a lot less trusting of others, and was soon considered a loner yet had a tendency to people watch. Because of this she learned to pick up on a persons true character learning as much as she could about the other students and teachers at the school.

[End Flashback]

Frankie sighed as she ended her story "That's why I can't like Shawn, and why I've had some trouble around you guys." She told her.

Nora nods "I get that you don't trust others much, but do you at least trust me?" She asked.

Frankie looked up and bit her lip "...Yes. You are being here for me, and you've offered me a ear to talk to." She said.

Nora smiles "That's a start then. Maybe from here you can learn to trust the others. Tell them what happened." She says.

Frankie looked away "I don't know. Sure you listened, and you understand. I'm not so sure the others would understand at all." She said hugging herself.

"I mean I want to trust them, but how can I when I don't even know them well?" She added on.

Nora reached out and grabbed her hand "Frankie. You've got to let down your walls sometime. I know it's scary, but if you don't let down your walls your going to be isolating yourself for the rest of your life." She said.

Hearing this Frankie sighs and takes in a breath before letting it out "I guess you mean to say is that I should take a chance. Right?" She asked and Nora nodded.

It was then that there morphors glowed alerting them to an attack and they looked at each other to which they head out of the library.

=UNIVERSE=

At a park remote part of town near the woods Vibranium was leading a group of Vanishers along with a monster. It was heavily armored with large shoulder pauldrons that were mainly white with told trimming and red lines. The armor on the upper chest looked like a face with the mouth and eyes glowing the same red as the lines. A large black and red ring hovered behind the back as smaller ones went up the arms to his over sized gloves as the creatures head was also cybernetic and sharp.

"I know that a few of the Gyze Keys are here Zodiac. I can feel it." She says to the monster as the Vanishers were destroying whatever was near and knocking down trees.

"If they are here then we're closer to finding the Gyze half of what we're looking for." Zodiac replied, but it was about then that the Vanishers were blasted, and they turned to see the five unmorphed rangers.

"Leave this place alone Vibranium!" Morgana said annoyed.

Vibranium sighed and brings out her Void Morphor "Vanishers attack! Zodiac dispose of the rangers, but red is mine." She instructed.

Frankie decided to step up "If you guys want those keys your going to have to beat us to them. It's Morphing Time!" She called out.

++READY!++

++SET!++

"Star/Void Change!" The teens and Vibranium called out.

"Soul of the Apocalypse Dragon! Universe Red!" Morgana said posing.

"Soul of the Aurora Songstress! Universe Blue!" Nora called out posing to.

"Soul of the Rindo Musketeer! Universe Green!" Drew called out posing as well.

"Soul of the Time Tiger! Universe Purple!" Frankie possed.

"Soul of the Battle Kasier! Universe Gray!" Charles finished posing as well.

"Champions of the Earth! The Ultimate Saviors! Power Rangers...Universe!" The five called out in unison.

"Link Joker's Champion! Void Ranger!" Vibranium called out and then swings her blade signaling for the Vanishers and Zodiac to attack.

Morgana charged right at Vibranium cutting down any Vanishers standing in her way while Zodiac extended two red-pink energy blades from the over sized gloves as the Vanishers rushed in.

Drew and Frankie grouped together fighting Vanishers, as they summoned their shields and blaster hilts connecting them as they blasted away at them "So how's the blaster hilt working for you?" Frankie asked.

"It's pretty good. You did an amazing job on them Frankie." He said and slid under a Vanisher before shooting at more of the enemy's, and then both switch back to their primary blade weapon.

Frankie uppercuts a group sending them up in the air Drew following her up as he jumped in the air slicing them several times before landing a single strong blow across them all before landing and the Vanishers disappear leaving that familiar trail of energy.

++F-F-FINSHER!++

"Chronofang Breaker!"

"Rindo Longblade!"

The shock wave of Frankie's attack combined with a long green energy blade that was swung by drew in a circle that took out all Vanishers in their immediate area.

"Gah!" Charles cried out as he was flung back and the two along with Nora ran over to check on him as Zodiac started coming over having destroyed Vanishers in his battle with the blue and gray rangers.

Nora and Frankie looked to one another "Charles. Does this guy have a weakness?" Frankie asked.

Charles nods gritting his teeth "Yeah. Those energy blades are good, but he's best keeping you at a distance. If you close that distance he'll have a tough time." He said.

Nora nodded "Okay Charles. We'll take it from here." She said.

Drew began pulling Charles back "I'll get him to a safe distance. Then I'll try to help Morgana." He said noticing that their red ranger was having a tough time.

The two rangers walked towards Zodiac weapons ready "So you ready Nora?" she asked and Nora nods.

"He won't know what hit him." Nora said and both girls let out a battle cry and charged forward.

Zodiac crossed his blades to block then pushed them back swinging a blade. Nora slid under it while Frankie jumped and kicked Zodiac a few times in the chest before attacking with her clawed glove.

Nora followed it up striking the head of Zodiac and he stumbled back. Recovering quickly he swung both blades in an arc narrowly missing Frankie, but hit Nora who nearly fell yet was caught by Frankie.

Frankie shoved Nora forward closing the distance between her and the monster quickly and Nora strikes at his glove, and saw the red-pink energy blade flicker.

Nora saw this "That's it! We break his gloves he can't use those blades." She thought.

She glances back to Frankie, and she nods having seen the flicker as well. She rushes in to join the battle with her the two tag teaming.

"Enough!" Zodiac up the power of his energy blades as they turn from red-pink to a blood red and attacks them the power being enough to cut right through Eva's trident, and melts the claws on the glove.

Both were shocked at this, but dismissed their weapons and kept going "You think destroying our weapons is going to bring us down?!" Frankie said punching Zodiac.

"We've been through worse than this!" Nora followed up kicking Zodiac then sliding under his legs to avoid a slash and Frankie back flips away from the attack.

"You can't tear us down!" Both of them said rushing back in an punching from both sides.

In the forest there was a bright glow of blue and purple and they shot out of the forest and towards the two rangers the objects making contact with their hands.

The light temporarily blinded them all as they back away. When the light cleared both were holding new Universe Globes this time with a golden yellow base instead of silver like their normal ones.

Almost as if understanding the unspoken telepathic message both took out the current globes in their morphors remaining morphed as said globes vanished, and they then inserted the new ones.

++READY!++

++SET!++

"Zeroth Change!" The two called out.

[Zeroth Morphing Sequence]

In a area surrounded by water on all sides Nora stood on the single piece of land in just the black body suit with the symbol on it. The roar of a serene water dragon is heard as a strange seal with a dragon head appears over her head and under her feet. Both seals began falling as the first thing to from was a dragon themed dark blue helmet with white horns like protrusions coming out of the sides and back with a silver mouthpiece and visor which had dragon fangs on the top and bottom. The boots then formed which were a solid dark blue with more horn like protrusions on the back and small fin like ones on each side. Next to form was her blue skirt and the gold belt the belt with a belt buckle looking like the seal formed. A short dark blue sleeveless vest formed as the symbol on the chest remained, but gained a large stylized Z behind it. Last to form was her gloves which were long and finger-less matching the colored parts of her suit and having small fin additions.

In an dark temple like area with broken statues Frankie stood in front of a large broken dragon like statue in just the black body suit the symbol still on it. The roar of a fierce dark dragon is heard as the dragon seal appeared above her head, and below her feet. Both seals descended the first thing to form was a purple demonic dragon like helmet with broken like horns coming from the forehead of the helmet as longer fangs extended over the visor having a similar mouth piece to the other. Next was the boots to form which were a solid purple have the same cracked like horns to it's back. Following it was the purple skirt the golden belt with the dragon seal belt buckle to hold it in place while a longer purple sleeveless vest formed the symbol remained, but gained the large stylized Z behind it. The gloves were last as shorter purple finger-less gloves formed with shorter protrusions on the knuckles of the gloves.

[End Zeroth Morphing Sequence]

The two stood ready not yet summoned their weapons, but their appearance startled Zodiac to the point he stumbled back.

"Zeroth of Distant Sea! Zeroth Universe Blue!" Nora called out as her weapon a three pronged spear length golden trident appeared in one hand.

"Zeroth of End Days! Zeroth Universe Purple!" Frankie called out her weapons were twin wave swords resembling black dragon fangs appeared in her hands.

While Zodiac was shocked both rangers didn't hesitate as they pulled back there new globes twice.

++Z-Z-ZEROTH FINSHER!++

"Sea Queen's Rage!/Dark Empress Destroyer!" both called out as Nora threw her spear as it was gulden by a large amount of water forming into the body of a slender dragon while Frankie sent out multiple waves of purple and black energy which formed into a large dragon claw as two different dragon roars were heard.

The attacks made contact and Zodiac was destroyed "Checkmate." Both girls declared.

They then took note that Vibranium was defeated, but from the looks of Morgana pounding the ground as well as the sound of sobbing it was obvious that something had happened.

The two rushed over "What happened?" Nora asked.

"S-She got away with it. They have it now. Kathy's Universe Globe." Morgana said between sobs.

=UNIVERSE=

The rangers were all together back at the school trying to comfort Morgana as Frankie told the rest her story. She had also done something else as when she returned to school she noticed four certain individual looking like they had been planning something.

Turns out she was right, and the four were caught before they could pull their prank on Nora who thanked her.

After listening to Frankie's story it did calm Morgana a bit "Thanks for trusting us with that story Frankie. I promise you that we won't betray your trust." Drew said.

Frankie smiled "Thanks everyone, and it's really thanks to Nora here that I even decided to tell you guys what was bothering me." She told them.

"You two might be different, but your pasts are a bit similar to the point you could have ended up like the other." Charles said and both nod.

"Can only wonder what that would have been like." Drew said, and all five share a laugh as they forgot their troubles at the moment. Yet Morgana still felt like she had failed her little sister by being unable to keep her Universe Globe protected.

As for Frankie her thoughts turned to the strange dreams that she had been having as of late.

That's the end of Episode 13, and the rangers have received the first two of the keys which the keys are in fact new Universe Globes! Speaking of which what do you all think of the Zeroth Dragon Universe Globes. They are not only more powerful, but have their own set of unique powers to give the rangers. Yet Morgana has lost something precious as the Yellow Universe Globe was taken by Vibranium which Morgana blames herself for losing. Yet that still leaves four more Zeroth Globes to be found, and two of which Morgana will have to claim. So until next time this has been decode9!
