"So do you think you can fix either of them?" Kathy/Kaitlyn asked Macha that morning showing the broken down Universe and Void morphors. They were inside The Hideout at this time which was a bit early in the morning.
Macha hummed "Possibly, but I'd need most of the day to do so." She tells Kathy who sighed.
"Well if it can't be helped. Take your time." Kathy says as she leaves deciding to head back towards Ahsha's home and get some sleep.
Macha looked towards the two broken down devices and hummed "Kathy still has the power of Brandt's Seed, and she will even if she returns to normal. Hmm...She's going to need a new morphor for her powers." Macha thought and called in deciding it best to be 'sick' so she'd have time to work on this project.
At the morning of the school day Frankie sighs as she came in "Hey Frankie. Good morning." Drew greeted smiling.
"Guess it is." She muttered as her twin sister Judith was with her and she sighed.
"Frankie please don't go on like this today. Come on today is suppose to be a happy one." Judith tells her as the three walked in and were eventually joined by Charles, and surprisingly Shawn.
"Good morning Frankie, Judith. Happy birthday to you both." Shawn said.
Judith smiled "Thank you Shawn, and I certainly hope it will be. As soon as I find out what's distracting my sweet younger twin here." Judith said, and it was then Frankie noticed Shawn was there.
"Uhh...I'm not distracted! Your distracted Judith! Stop distracting Shawn!" She says in a hurry and walks off away from them as the four watched her run off.
Judith sighed shaking her head "I actually wanted to talk to you all. You see umm...Frankie hasn't had an actual party in years, and I actually discussed this idea with the rest of our siblings." Judith started.
"You want to throw her a surprise party right?" Shawn asked and she nods.
Charles nods "After from what I've just seen, and what I know about her I think she more than deserves one." He said.
"I'll let the rest of our friends know." Drew said.
Judith takes out her phone "I'll get in touch with our cousin and see if she can bring her own friends along." She said.
Charles hums "I think I know a few places can hold the party at. Since it sounds like it might just be a large meeting." He said, and after a few minutes the group exchange numbers with one another.
"Oh thank you for your help you guys. I don't think they're would be any way for me to pull this off one my own." Judith says and gives each guy a quick hug before running off.
As for Frankie when she ran off she eventually slowed down and sighed. She then takes notice of Kaitlyn all on her own and walks over "Hey Kait. You okay?" Frankie asked.
Kait nods "Sort of. You get what I mean..." She replied rubbing her arm.
Frankie puts a hand on her shoulder "You are scared of talking to her right?" Frankie asked to which Kait nods looking over in the direction where Morgana was.
"I know that almost all of you has forgiven me. Morgana still hasn't. Not that I can blame her." Kait muttered.
Frankie looks between them "Kat...Kait. Just go talk to her. Seriously don't hesitate. Just do." She insisted.
Kait looked at her first surprised them smiles a bit "Okay. I guess I can't really avoid it huh?" She asked before walking off still though a bit hesitant to approach Morgana.

"Sure. I'm certain we all can meet up and set up the party. Did he find a place yet?" Isabelle asked Judith over the phone as it was now lunchtime.
"Yeah. He actually got permission from the Headmistress to use the gymnasium. We're inviting students from some of the different grade levels that Frankie knows." Judith told her as she along with Charles was in the office finalizing things for the party with Headmistress Meadows.
"That's great to hear, and you sure that your headmistress won't mind guests from Walkerton?" Isabelle asked a bit concerned.
"You'll be fine." Judith assured her.
"Okay. See you in a few hours then." Isabelle says and hangs up.
"Thanks a bunch for letting us do this." Charles said as he finished talking, and the two headed out.
Charles looks to Judith and gives a thumbs up "I'll let Drew, Shawn, and Cody know we got a place. We'll start setting up. The Headmistress is going to have the gym closed for a sudden 'safety' check." He told her.
"Me and the other girls will keep her busy." Judith said and Charles sends a text to the other guys.
"Okay. Also maybe invite the new girl Kaitlyn along. She seems to be getting along with Frankie pretty well." He suggested finishing the text and Judith considers this before nodding.
"I'm also going to invite my own friends to since it will be a party for us both." She says.
"Alright. See you soon." Charles said and takes off towards the gym as Judith headed for her lunch which she shared with Frankie.
Ten minutes later in the gym Charles, Cody, Drew, and Shawn were all together in the gym "She actually gave us permission to have the party in here?" Shawn said surprised.
Charles nods "Your not the only one surprised." He said.
"Still this is going to be big so what all do we need?" Drew asked worried they wouldn't have things ready in time.
Cody brought out a list as he was told from Drew about the plan and made the list just in case "Lot's of tables, chairs, party favors, two extra large cakes, cups, plates, games of some kind, music mixes, and a variety of foods and drinks." Cody said.
Shawn rubs his head "Yeah. This might be tough." He said.
"Especially with just four of us." Charles says groaning.
Drew nods before taking the list "Not if we get some help. During lunch the football team is free right?" He asked Charles and Shawn who nod.
"Yeah, and given we have a long lunch..." Shawn started before stopping and snaps his fingers.
"I'll go get them to help with setting up the tables and chairs." He said and runs off.
Charles looks at a few of the other things "I'll cover the party favors, cups, plates, foods, and drinks."
"I know a few people who could cover the music mixes, and I have more than a few extra game consoles at home as well as some amazing board games." Drew said.
Cody sighed "I'll talk to a few of the cooking students and see if we can get some large cakes done in time for the party." Cody tells them.
Charles nods "Good. We got a game plan in place. Everyone get your job done, keep in touch, and no matter what don't let Frankie find out. The party will be tonight at 5 sharp." He instructed and they broke up to which Charles sent Shawn the rest of the details through text.

At lunchtime Frankie was surprised when it was just her, Morgana, Nora, Kaitlyn, and much to her surprise Judith had joined them.
"So you doing okay sis? An sign of the four evils?" Judith asked and Frankie chuckles a bit. It seemed almost everyday the Four Angels were getting more and more creative nicknames added to their ongoing list of nicknames.
"Nope. They haven't tried anything yet. Which worries me." Frankie replied.
Morgana frowns "Do they usually try something this time of year?" She asked and Frankie sighs looking away.
Nora knew about why today was painful, but wasn't about to say anything without Frankie's permission "Hey Morgana how's your story going?" Nora asked to get her attention off Frankie.
Morgana looks away "I have kind of hit a writers block. Nothing is really coming to me." She said.
Judith let out a small sigh thankful for Nora changing the subject "Happens to the best of us. Some aspiring authors lose their writing notes, misplace what they write in, and even accidentally delete whole chapters of their story should it be on a flash drive." She said and shrugs.
"You'll get your inspiration from somewhere or something." Judith then added on.
Kait remained quiet unsure how to talk given she's suppose to not know anything about what they were talking about. It really hurt that she actually knew, but couldn't offer her support as it would look suspicious that she would know about Morgana's story.
"Well I hope I find some inspiration soon." Morgana muttered mostly to herself, but managed to get a small chuckle out of the others.
Judith also wandered about something else "How's your family holding up? I heard the police gave up looking for Kathy." She said a bit saddened.
Morgana bit her lip "They're trying to keep up a happy front, but I can tell their both suffering. Mom was crying her eyes out last night, and dad has been investigating things himself." Morgana told them and Kait tenses up.
Judith sighs and nods missing her as well and Kait gets up "Excuse me. I have to...grab some notes from my locker." Kait says and leaves the table.
Once she left Frankie looked to Morgana who got up and decided to follow as Judith looked puzzled "Kait lost her older sister when she was younger in an accident. It's still painful for her to think about." Frankie said hating to have to tell her a white lie.
Morgana followed Kait to her locker and sighs "Kait. About earlier..." She started.
"You mean when you ran away when I asked to talk in private right?" Kait interrupted bitterly.
Morgana winces "Yeah. About that you see I was..." She started as Kait raises a hand to stop her.
"I get it. You can't forgive me, and I'll accept that. I just...wish you could tell me instead of running away from me." Kait said and turns away as Morgana looked at her wide eyed.
Before she could get another word in the bell rang releasing the students in lunch and signaling them to start getting to their next classes.
Kait took this opportunity grabbing her books and closed her locker shoving past Morgana who sighed "I want to forgive you. I'm just scared." Morgana muttered to herself yet was still resolved to talk to her.
=UNIVERSE=
The final bell of the school day rang and Operation: Birthday Blast was being carried out by the guys while the girls kept Frankie distracted.
Shawn stayed with several members of the football team who would help him set up the tables and chairs, Drew headed home to grab games of all kinds since he got some friend to do a music mix for the twins, and Charles with Cody in tow headed into town to get the other supplies being given some money by Ahsha.
"Nice job convincing them Cody." Charles said.
"It wasn't that hard. Olivia is actually part of the class, and when she heard we were throwing a party for her big sisters she wanted to help." Cody said as he was actually surprised the two were related thinking the last name had been a coincidence.
Charles nods then sighs "Wish I did something back then though." He says as Cody looks at him confused.
"I more than know why Frankie treats her birthday like any old day, but it's not my story to tell." Charles said as flashes of a younger him off to the side not laughing as he just watched what was going on feeling pity for the weak girl.
After many trips and stops the two were heading back towards the school when suddenly out of nowhere Vanishers appeared, and Charles stops his truck to which both get out "Seriously! Can't be given a single days rest from you guys huh?" He said.
Cody nods as the Vanishers surround them and the two go back to back. One Vanisher lunged at Cody to which he swiftly dodges and grabs one of the Vanishers arms before swinging it to the side and throwing it at another group.
Charles was ducking and side stepping multiple strikes aiming swift kicks and jabs at multiple Vanisher midsections. He broke off from Cody and he jumps on a car roof to avoid from being overwhelmed.
Vansihers started climbing it, but Charles saw them coming and would knock them down or push them with enough force to knock them back into other tumbling them into a pile.
Charles then jumped off the car and grabbed a downed Vanisher by the leg and began swinging it then lets go making him collide into a group as they disappear in a puff of black.
Cody slides under a group and picks up the nearest thing he could using as a weapon which was an extra long vibrant pink jump rope.
Look at it and then the Vanishers he got a quick idea, and he dodges the lunges as he makes it into a makeshift lasso.
"Hope this works" he muttered and throws the large lasso to which he catches three in it and pulls it tight.
"Hey I could use a hand here Charles!" He called out and Charles rushed over.
"Already liking what your thinking." Charles said and takes the makeshift lasso as Cody ran ahead delivering a strong uppercut with enough force to throw them up into the air.
Taking advantage of them being airborne Charles began spinning going faster and faster striking then Vanishers that would come close. He then swings the rope up high and then swings it and the three Vanishers down hard on all the reaming creatures.
Cody and Charles huff "Ugh...I do like fighting, but seriously? Did they just send those out to pester us today? It's like they didn't even have someone serious to fight against us today." Charles said.
"I'm just glad nothing...got...damaged..." Cody started before seeing the damaged car and holes in the road.
The two looked at one another, and in an instant they were in the car, buckled up, and Charles peeled out as fast as he could.
In another part of town while Frankie and Nora were getting Judith to safety while Morgana and Kait were fighting together back to back, but it was obvious there was still some tension between the two.
"Kait look. When I ran away earlier it wasn't because..." Morgana started before ducking a claw to which Kait punches the offending underling hard.
"Now isn't exactly a good time Morgana! Plus I've said what I've needed to say." Kait replied.
Morgana back flips kicking one away as she got closer to Kait "Well I haven't so please give me a chance!" Morgana said.
Kait grabbed a Vanisher and put it in a headlock "Oh sure. I'll give you the same chance you gave me to explain anything. Which by the way is no chance." Kait said and threw the minion into another as it lunged at Morgana.
"That's not fair Kait." Morgana retorts shoving one from behind as it went after Kait.
Kait rolled her eyes "Again this coming from the person who wouldn't hear me out about the glass angel or Ramiel." Kait retorts.
Morgana bites her lip "I'm sorry okay! I am more than sorry I didn't listen. You know how my angry I can be, and that I have a protective streak." Morgana retorts.
"Yeah, but I never imagined you to be a coward." Kait says bashing a Vanisher over the head with both fists.
Morgana growls "I'm not a coward Kait! I was just scared!" She finally admits kicking one so hard that it puffs out of existence.
This stunned Kait for a short moment, but it was that moment all it took for a Vanisher to dig into one of the metal arms which became limp. In the next moment Kait saw this and using her other arm punched the one away.
"I was scared because I...I wasn't sure if you'd accept me back." Morgana told Kait glancing at her a moment before returning her focus to the fight.
"Accept you back? You were afraid that..." Kait started as she kicked the things.
"That you'd never accept me as a sister again. Because I do forgive you. I just don't know if you forgive me." Morgana finished as she threw one both starting to tire out.
Kait thought was surprised hearing this as Morgana had forgiven her, but she wasn't sure if Kait/Kathy could forgive her.
It was then that she started to feel two things the first being her metal limbs she felt shut down as she fell to the ground. The second was Brandt's Seed reaching it's final breaking point.
Morgana looked to Kait in extreme worry at her collapse "Oh sis. I already forgave you. I was afraid of the same thing to you know. I am just so glad you forgive me." Kait said as Morgana gets in front of Kait to protect her.
As for Kait herself she felt Brandt's Seed shatter, and vanished being destroyed by the two powers she had within herself now. Her whole body then became engulfed in a yellow light which seemed to surprise the Vanishers, and Morgana looked at her in surprise.
Kait began to rise, and Morgana noticed that her body began to shrink as well as it's shape change along with the hair.
When the light cleared a fully human and reverted to normal Kathy Ravens was revealed looking quite surprised. Kathy looked at her arms and legs and then looks to Morgana who then recalled the ongoing battle. It was surprisingly quick and they finished off the rest of the Vanishers quickly.
After it was done Morgana looked to Kathy, and hugs her "Your...you are yourself again." She says happy crying a bit.
Kathy returns the hug sniffling "Yeah, but I'm still on the road to discovering my true self again. Though I think I've mostly figured it out." She said.
Morgana laughs a bit "That's just how you are. Though umm...how are we going to explain this?" Morgana asked rubbing her head.
Kathy smirked "Simple. We tell the truth." She said as Morgana gives her a blank stare.
Kathy laughs at this "I was on my way home when a ranger battle happened, and I got caught in the middle of it. Before the monster was destroyed it captured me, and sent me to it's base. I was rescued by the rangers, but didn't return home as I was hurt so I stayed with a friend in Walkerton who helped me recover." Kathy explained.
Morgana just gives her a blank stare again "You know...It's scary how while your the same you've seemed to also change. Never thought you'd be the one to make up such a story." She tells her.
Kathy sighs "Well we can't exactly tell mom, dad, and everyone that's not a teammate the real truth. So we just use the bare bone facts." She told Morgana.
Morgana laughs a bit "Come on. I'll text the rest that I'm heading home for a bit. Have a special gift for Frankie." Morgana said, and Kathy smiles heading home with her sister.
Later that night Frankie and Judith would celebrate their sixteenth birthday joined by friends from the school, and Isabelle and her team from Walkerton would also join.
The biggest surprise was when Morgana came in with her present, and Frankie was more than happy to have Kathy back.
As they celebrated the twins party at Morgana and Kathy's room at their home a small glass angel that was once broken stood fixed and drying on the siblings bookshelf.
That's it for Episode 25, and after many trials, tribulations, and battles Kathy is back and as her full human self once more! The twins also celebrated their birthday which I honestly enjoyed writing this one a bit more than the one in Lore Keepers. Though my personal favorite part of writing this was the civilian fights which I'm going to try and include a few more. Anyways I'm off to check out a few things, and I have a Universe specail that I hope you guys might enjoy for later. Now then until next time this has been decode9!
