The teens were together for another school day, but it would be slightly different in some way. Macha herself was preparing for the day calmly as the intercom came on "Mrs. Umbra please report to the Headmisteress office now!" The headmistress spoke her voice sounding strained and in a bit of a panic.

Macha frowns, but jogs towards the office and enters "Ahsha. What is going..." She started, but stops when she she's the person sitting in the room.

It was visibly Kathy, but she was wearing different clothes to compliment her new body while. She wore a white sleeveless athletic top, a long sleeve yellow v neck hoodie jacket with a black interior, black athletic pants, and boots. She also wore white gloves over her hands, and looked at both nervous.

"Umm...Uhh...H-Hi Macha." Kathy says looking away with a wince dreading to see or hear their reaction to her.

Instead of what she expected though she suddenly felt herself enveloped in a warm hug "Where have you been? You've had us all so worried." Macha said to Kathy's surprise.

"You...you missed me?" She asked as Ahsha nods smiling.

"Of course we would. We just didn't think you'd return...well...like this." Macha said and Kathy smiled.

"Well I had some encouragement." Kathy said thinking back.

[Flashback]

It was hours before sun up as Kathy got up and noticed that Issac was already up as well "Your thinking about going back to them aren't you?" He asked.

Kathy bit her lip "Yes. I can't avoid them any longer." Kathy says looking away.

Issac walks up to Kathy and puts a hand on her shoulder "Then go. Your friends and your sister are waiting right?" He asked.

Kathy looked at him "What about you though? I don't want to leave you alone." She said.

Issac sighs "I'll be fine, and besides if your that concerned..." He started, and took out paper and pen jotting down a phone number handing to her after.

"here. This is my number so you an always keep in touch." He added on as Kathy hugs him.

"Thank you Issac. For so much." She said, but wasn't done as Issac parted.

"I actually got some stuff for you. Since first thing you'll probably be wanting to head for the school." He says handing her a bag full of clothes hiding the blush of embarrassment he had when he went shopping for her.

Kathy takes it grateful and goes to a small shack to change quickly, and minutes later she came out in her new outfit pulling on her thick gloves. Slung over her shoulder was the bodysuit, and a few other things as she had even pulled in her mechanical wings. She even had a new phone to which she already put in Issac's number. She also had been given some money from Issac.

With one last hug Kathy and Issac parted ways as the older teen waved at the younger one as she walked off heading towards hopefully the place she could still consider home.

[Flashback End]

"That's what happened." Kathy finished leaving out the bit about it being Issac as she just called him Gold.

Both nodded as Ahsha looked towards Macha "I'm making some arrangements. 'Kaitlyn' here is a transfer from another school, and my daughter. She will have Kathy's schedule as I believe it's best to keep her on the same thing." Ahsha explained.

Macha nods "So given she's 'new' you want me to show her around am I right?" She said as she knew it was to really just get Kathy/Kaitlyn use to the school as well as let the rest know that she was back so they wouldn't be surprised later.

Ahsha smiles and nods behind her desk "Yes. So please show my 'daughter' around." Ahsha said as Kathy rubbed her head knowing that likely Ahsha had probably gotten some help from another to make her exist as Kaitlyn.

Macha walked Kathy out and began to show her about as students starting coming in and others getting up. As they walked Morgana was the first to arrive and was speechless and shocked seeing Kathy.

Morgana takes out her phone and sends the other a group chat message to let them know about what she saw.

Red Lady: Everyone: I saw her. Yellow is back in school.

She then put her phone up and bites her lip unsure what to say or do as she was a bit afraid.

After about a half hour the rest arrived, and they were all sitting in the Cafeteria "You sure you saw her?" Frankie asked a small smile on her face.

Morgana nods and takes out her phone showing a picture she took "Well...nice idea on her part. The pants and boots will cover her legs as the jacket and gloves will do the same job for her arms." Frankie commented.

"I just...why did she finally decide to come back here? Especially when she's still...you know." Drew commented.

"Cursed. That's essentially what she is." Charles finished.

Morgana sighed "Yeah, but you guys remember what he taught us." Morgana told them as they grew silent.

Frankie was the first to speak up "I...I think she's more than earned my forgiveness." She said.

"Huh?" A few of them asked confused as Morgana looks at her and holds a hand up to silence them and let Frankie continue.

"It's true that she caused us pain, but we did the same to her. She's shown that she still cares for, and loves us. She's just scared." Frankie started.

She then crossed her arms and leans back in her chair "To me all she needs is trust and someone willing to forgive her. I know she'd do the same for me if I was in her shoes." She then added on.

A few hummed before the next person spoke "You know Frankie is right." the person said and they all turned surprised as it was Charles.

"Kathy is important to me as a friend, and it's about time that I showed it. I am have been nothing, but talk. I've got to stand by my word which is why I forgive her." Charles told the group as a whole.

"That's...that's surprising coming from you." Drew said.

Charles shrugged "I'm a simple guy, and like someone else I've got to start learning from my screw ups." He said.

=UNIVERSE=

After breakfast the teens headed for their class yet a good chunk of them shared the same first class which was with Macha.

Mrs. Umbra cleared her throat "Attention everyone we have a new student with us today, and I'm sure your all aware if any of you saw me walking around with her." She says then signals for her to come in.

Kathy walked in and bows to the class smiling "Hello everyone. I'm Kaitlyn Meadows, and before you ask I'm the adopted daughter to the headmistress." She says and the students start whispering.

Morgana smiles a bit as their teacher instructed her to take a seat next to Frankie which she took.

Frankie looked at her a smiled a bit "Welcome back." She whispered and Kathy smiles a bit at her yet still felt a bit guilty.

The hours would tick by as Kathy AKA Kaitlyn got use to the school even getting to know Cody a bit and was able to act normal around him.

When school released the group started to head out yet Kathy stayed back to which Charles noticed and waved the group on before approaching Kathy.

"Hey. What's got you down Kat...Kaitlyn." He says correcting himself still seeing plenty of students around.

Kathy looked away "Nothing. You should get going you know. Don't need you missing your after school activity." She said.

Charles sat down near her "That's not the only thing though is it?" He asked.

"...You, Frankie, Cody, and even Drew. Your all being yourselves still around me. Why? You should hate me." She whispered.

Charles rolled his eyes "Don't start that. You sound like your trying to push us away again." He started and takes her hand giving it a slight squeze.

"I know that you don't want that, and the rest would say the same." He added on.

Kathy looked at him in surprise, and both get up walking out "Look I know we hurt each other, but everyone is entitled to a second chance. I'll give you one, and you give me one. Sound good?" He then tells her patting her back and Kathy smiles nodding.

The two walked, but didn't make it to the hideout before their mophors alerted them to an attack. Looking at one another they headed off towards where the fight was going on as Charles alerted the rest of the team to the fight going on.

A bunch of Vanishers were at the community center in town looking to be tearing it apart as two other monsters were there "Hmph. Drawing out the rangers is one thing, but do you believe this will draw out that traitor?" It was V Saber who was a humanoid red dragon with black and gold cybernetic dragon, and secured to his back were two gold sabers with red hilts.

"Indeed. Plus our king wanted us to give the rangers a 'proper introduction'." The second said with a male voice. It belonged to a large while tiger like machine with black and neon blue stripes painted on it. It had short claws, but could easily extend them to be as long as any longsword. Yet also had large fists to attack with whenever decided to not fight with his claws.

Footsteps were heard behind them as Charles and Kathy were there "Ahh...There you are traitor." V Saber snarls and Kathy tensed before relaxing.

"Say what you want V Saber, but I'm not here to talk to you and Dark Buster." Kathy said as they both reveal their Zeroth Globes.

Kathy was actually a bit hesitant yet was calmed hearing the dragons soft yet strong roar.

++READY!++

++SET!++

"Zeroth Change!" The two called out

[Zeroth Morphing Sequence]

Kathy stood outside a large medieval pearl white castle surrounded by pillars on both sides in the black bodysuit with the symbol on it. Two yellow gold dragon seals appeared and began to make their descent/ascent upon her. The first thing to materialize was her helmet which was styled after a classic dragon style head the mouth section over the eyes were the visor would be as red eyes adorned the side of the helmet. Next were high heeled yellow and white knight style boots, and a short yellow skirt followed by a golden belt with the belt buckle matching the design of the dragon head seal. A sleeveless styled vest made to look more like armor formed as the symbol on the chest remained, but gained a large stylized Z behind it. Her gloves then formed which were longer than the others and looked more knight style similar to her boots. It was then Blaster Blade and Blaster Dark appeared and combined to formed a light red energy sword that has a sharp tip at the end.

[End Zeroth Morphing Sequence]

Kathy prepares her sword and Charles prepares his blasters preparing to jump into the fight "Hey. Don't go forgetting about us here." Morgana called out as she and the others arrive in Zeroth form, and Cody was in Bronze.

Morgana looked at the two and then to Kathy a bit hesitant "You have any idea who we're dealing with?" Morgana asked.

Kathy nods "There V Saber and Dark Buster. They're also...two more generals." She told them, and had a feeling what that might mean except for Cody.

"We'll explain later." Frankie assured him.

V Saber draws his blades and charges forward splitting off the group putting Charles, Frankie, and Kathy together in a group while Dark Buster would fight Morgana, Nora, Drew, and Cody.

=UNIVERSE=

Dark Buster punches at Morgana knocking the girl back though managed to defend herself with her swords.

Drew jumped in with his blade striking him in the back, but it didn't seem to do anything Dark Buster who grabbed Drew and threw him at Cody who was charging at him.

Nora was much more careful being at a distance swinging wide with her trident/spear keeping Dark Buster at a distance.

Dark Buster clangs his fists together and sword length claws extend "Uhh...That's something." Nora commented surprised as the fight became a bit more one sided as Dark Buster took advantage of his amazing speed.

Nora was soon on her knees as Dark Buster raised a claw to strike, but was stopped as he was hit by a burst of green energy. It was Drew who has swapped out his weapon for the small white-silver and green handheld cannon which he fired again.

Morgana came in next as she had her katana's on fire and looked to be making them hotter with each strike that Dark Buster would block.

For Nora this was an opportunity as she switched weapons to calling her Universe Blaster, and the Defender in it's Blaster form to her and begins firing off both.

Cody on the other hand had changed to Silver and lined up his shot trying to find a weak point on the general's mechancial body. Yet was having trouble finding any kind.

Dark Buster lets out a large howl causing shock waves and sending them back a few feet "Most impressive. You all might be a challenge for me after all." He said his cybernetic eyes narrowing.

"Yet none of you are the challenge I seek." He then said glancing over to who V-Saber was fighting eyeing Universe Gray.

He then returned his gaze to them "Another time though." He then says prepared to continue the fight.

Over with the other group Charles fired off his blasters keeping the Vanishers away as Kathy was helping slicing down the creatures with ease as Frankie and the dragon clashed. Yet Frankie was tiring out while V-Saber didn't seem to be losing any steam at all.

V-Saber roars and charges slamming himself into Frankie who skids back and falls to a knee "Okay. You defiantly got the strength and smarts to be a general." She huffed.

V-Saber huffed "You are impressive yourself child, but I think it's time I stop testing you." He said and takes in a sharp breath before letting it out as the natural pressure he seemed to give off multiplied.

Frankie didn't even get up off her feet before she was hit and knocked down hard her morph canceling. The next to be hit was Charles as he was thrown into the ground hard from the impact of the sword hitting his back.

Kathy was last, and was hit multiple times even when her morph cancelled as V-Saber puts his blades away "Hmph. You three..." He started, but was surprised when he was hit in the back by intense flames.

"Step away. Now!" Morgana said evenly her voice as she managed to get away from Dark Buster and towards the others fight.

V-Saber saw this and was interested "You bear the power of the apocalyptic flames. Hmm...interesting." He muttered drawing his blades, and went full speed against Morgana.

He was fully expecting to just be able to strike as the girl couldn't possibly see him coming, but was surprised when metal met metal a large clang resonating throughout the area.

V-Saber while surprised didn't show it and the two began to clash flames and lightning sparking off their weapons. Morgana swung hard at an angle and managed to make contact with one of V-Saber's arms injuring him as he drops his sword.

V-Saber blasts lightning from his other sword and Morgana drops back as V-Saber grabs his first "Most impressive red ranger. I look forward to clashing with you yet again in the future." He said then looks to Dark Buster.

"Buster! We're leaving." He instructs.

Dark Buster nods "Affirmative." He said.

Morgana ran at V-Saber "Your not going anywhere!" She says going to attack him, but both vanish in a burst of red light.

"Oh come on..." Morgana muttered then looked to the down and out rangers and sighs.

=UNIVERSE=

At HQ Ahsha was checking over the three injured rangers along with checking Kathy's metallic limbs though each was awake and everyone was in their.

"So umm..." Kathy started looking uneasy before bowing her head low.

"I...I umm...You see..." She continued before stopping and sighed as Ahsha finished her check up on Kathy.

"Your all good Kathy." Ahsha says and Kathy cracks a smile whispering a thank you before getting up.

"I'll just be going now..." Kathy said and leaves before anyone else could say anything.

Charles and Frankie looked to the rest except Cody "Your still having trouble forgiving her huh?" Frankie asked them.

Nora bit her lip "I-I want to Frankie. I really do, but she hurt you, and she hurt me..." Nora said and shivers recalling the pain of the sword in her wound during their last battle.

Drew sighed "I'm just confused. I guess that's all that's stopping me." he said.

Morgana looked away as it was obvious to Frankie what her problem was "I better be going home...mom and dad don't need to be worry about me to." Morgana said and leaves before anyone could ask.

"You're scared Mogana. Scared that you've already broke things beyond repair." Frankie thought then sighs recalling tomorrow having a light smile on her face.

"Tomorrow might be Judith and me special day, but I'm going to at least try and get you two together." She then thought.

Kathy walked toward her new temporary home as she'd be staying with Ahsha, but as she did so she felt something wrong. She checked her morphor and was surprised to see it was short circuiting and falling apart, but it wasn't the only one as her Void Morphor she still had did the same.

"This...this isn't good." Kathy thought in a slight panic.

That's the end of Episode 24, and Kathy has finally returned to the rangers after so long! Yet she has to hide in plain sight with a temporary new identity, but at least she is back. We also have more going on as two more generals have appeared, and both of them are tougher than Ramiel. Though it seems that Kathy's is having a bad streak of luck as not only has her Universe Morphor fallen apart, but so has the Void Morphor. I wonder why this could be hmm...well I could always tell here, but where's the fun in that? Anyways until next time this has been decode9!
