=UNIVERSE=
Velvet smiles a bit seeing them all "T-Thanks for coming everyone. Now please listen because I think I've got a plan." She told them all as her smile developed into a smirk.
"Morgana, Maggie, Isabelle and myself will be talking about the plans at the various HQ's. Once we're sure it's heard we'll bide our time till we launch the real plan." She says as most nod in understanding or were confidant while a few of the veterans are confused.
"Why would you discuss the plan out loud at the HQ's if you know their is a leak? Shouldn't we be keeping the plan a secret?" Ash asked raising an eyebrow at the young girl.
Velvet looks at Ash right in the eyes, and for a moment Ash see's a younger Azalea staring right at him "And that is the main reason. Our plans have been compromised more than once so...we take advantage or the leak. What we'll be discussing is a fake plan to use as bait, and they'll send that information to Stabella." She said.
Morgana nods "Plus we can probably figure out where they're trasmitting from so we'll know where the tratior is." Morgana said.
Velvet crossed her arms giving a large grin/smirk "Exactly. Then the resident team can keep an eye on the possible suspects in their own dimension." Velvet said.
Theo and Maggie were sharing the same look as Velvet which the whole Neo Defenders team noticed which their purple just smiled "Ash...they have that look. Last time saw something like that was when Azalea was going to pull off something wild." Aiden said to him.
Theo looked to them "Well I guess we just get that from our mom." He said as Maggie nods in agreement.
Morgana raised a hand to silence everyone "Now since some weren't here last time I think we should go over how we...got served on a silver platter last time." She says sighing.
Going to the main console Morgana taps away and brings up a rough layout of what they knew of the place Stabella used as a hideout "We got some type of multi directional beam device located on the tower which was operated by No...Vou...one of the daughters and Salem. They also had Staknigts, Ariana, and Melodalix out in full force against us." Morgana began.
The red then grinned "This time though we're going to change things up, and lure our enemy out to a predetermined location." Morgana added on.
Catching on Wes nods "The place you'll be discussing during phase one right?" He asked, and Morgana nods.
"We'll be split up into various groups to handle this. While the enemy waits for us at the location the first group will be taking out the beam device from a distance where they won't be seen." Isabelle taps on the console showing a powerful gun.
"This gun has more than enough firepower to take them out from the distance we've determined, and they're silent. Which conviently is far enough away to avoid being hit by the beams from the tower." Isabelle kept going.
"Groups two, three, and four will be going to the west, east, and south entrances of the hideout to infliltrate and jam the entrances to keep the enemy from going that way." She finished then turned to Maggie and nods signaling for her to take over.
"Group five will take post inside the hideout. Once they realize that we haven't show up they'll draw back from the false location. Group one and the team leaders will then join group five on the roof when we make our grand entrance." Maggie says with smile on her face as she explained the last bit of the plan.
Harry nods as the silence was enough to know the next question of who will be in what group.
"Like last time it'll be mixed while each group will be lead by either Morgana, Velvet, Maggie, Ash, or myself. I'm leading group one while the others will be leading groups two through five." She told them.
The groups split and with each ready they were ready to begin phase one of their plan.
Each leader returned a couple hours later to the Moonrunner while the rest had headed out to prepare themselves. They had carried out phase one of their plan even had some gadget's of Frankie's which they used to pick up if they're was any transmissions heading our from their HQ's and could record them.
"I didn't get a hit from mine." Maggie said to them.
"Same back at the ship. Though make sense since Prince Americo, and Zisko don't even know anyone that's with the evil master." Velvet said.
Morgana nods in agreement "Same. Got nothing from any of them." Morgana said.
Isabelle smiled a bit "Well seems like I got something. Apparently a couple people were sending out transmissions from my HQ, but when I went to check well..." She then sighs and shorts the gadget which was ruined beyond repair.
"It short circuted, but seems like our two are somewhere in my neck of the woods." She says as her mentor Daranten was stunned.
"So that message from Nora is true..." He says as it ws hard to believe their was a possible traitor among his family. Macha put a hand on his shoulder to comfort him.
"That information should be getting sent to Melodalix, and I have no doubt Stabella will know soon. Let's head out and join our groups." Isabelle said to the other reds and they teleport out.
=UNIVERSE=
"Can't you see we're both worried about you? We're just trying to look out for you." Rachel recalled her older sister saying to her. She was preparing with the rest of the fifth group for the confrontation that was soon going to happen.
"They're going to stab you in the back Rachel. I just know it. Please listen to me, and just leave them while you can." She recalled her auntie begging her in front of her friends one day which embrassed her.
Though in the end she was a bit right as some did, but those that didn't had started to avoid her a bit more after the run in with her auntie.
Rachel sighed and looked at her own morpher as the design differed from the versions of the past. While it was wrist mounted like a couple of the past versions it was more traingular in shape with a slot on the side to insert data cards. The morpher itself was colored primairly white and cyan with red, blue, and silver buttons for it's various functions.
Ash noticed Rachel seemed deep in thought "Got something on your mind?" He asked and Rachel sighed.
"No...I'm fine. Let's just get this over with." Rachel said as Ash frowned though he knew better than to press his luck. Even if he wanted to he'd likely just end up with Rachel telling him off.
The rest arrived at each group as they signaled themselves to get ready as the leaders met up with group five on top of the hideout.
Morgana leaned down to listen in on what was happening "Mother we got a problem." Arianna's voice spoke through a screen. She could tell they were at the location and had been their a long time as Salem and Vogue looked bored.
"What is it dear? Why haven't the rangers been destroyed?" Stabella asked as Morgana smirked.
"She doesn't even realize what's happening." Morgana thought to herself as she signaled her fellow leaders each of which would signal their own groups.
"They haven't shown up to the location mother. It's been three hours and their still not here!" Arianna said annoyed as she wasn't happy about her time being wasted.
Stabella frowned and checked the screens showing their was nothing their "What! What is going on?" Stabella says annoyed.
Surprising enough the one to speak up was the youngest "I think we've been tricked mother. Those rangers pulled a fast one on us." Salem said as she was angry and muttered to herself swearing to get the rangers for this especially Macy.
Stabella let out a sigh "Come back to the hideout my dears." She instructed, and seconds later the five appeared as Stabella had a scowl on her face.
"Xolimerica. Did you see anything out of the ordinary on the security?" Stabella asked.
After checking the security the girl hummed "Strange. It appears that nothing is out of the ordinary with security. Yet at the same time it looks like it has been tampered with...or a virus was planted." Xolimerica explained to them as the rest seemed to glare at Vogue who didn't even seem bothered by the glares.
"This isn't your sisters fault my dears. The rangers never showed despite what it is that we knew." Stabella says and glares at Melodalix.
"Mother! I am nothing like Vogue. I'm sure my source simply..." She started.
"Silence! What happened is quite simple my dear. Either your source got it wrong. Or they were tricked much like we were." She said and walks away headed for the room she kept the captives in.
The leaders all listened in as Velvet took point and counted down to them literally crashing Stabella's little party.
At the count of zero Morgana summoned her blaster and blasted the area around the roof and the five went crashing down as the five stood their and Stabella turned to see them.
"Surprise!" Maggie said a grin on her face.
"All of you are surrounded." Isabella said.
"Thanks to a little trick of our own." Morgana added on.
"That was something your source didn't know about." Velvet said.
"We also brought our own reinforcements." Ash finished up.
"How did you get into our hideout?!" Stabella demanded her anger overtaking her as she hadn't expected them to attack the hideout again.
Isabelle steps forwards shooting Stabella a glare as the other reds joined her "Well since you got a fondness for tricks we took a page from your book. Planted a fake plan that you'd try to take advantage of." She says.
Their was then a boom as the whole place shook "What was that?" Stabella questioned.
Maggie smirked "That would be your tower being taken out along with your little device that got us last time." She said.
Stabella growled then it became a laugh "You five were stupid if you came here alone. Even without my daughters I can handle you five by myself." She said.
"Then it's a good thing we're not alone." The five said as from the various directions of the place the rest trickled in as the daughters and Xolimerica joined Stabella.
Stabella just looked down the small army "Numbers or not you all will be destoyed. Eliminate them!" she instructs her daughters, Xolimerica, and Staknights.
The red leaders glanced at one another before nodding "It's morphing time!" The five called out.
"Heroes of Legends!"
"Neo Defenders, Execute the Power!"
"Rise to Defend!"
"Mystic Warriors Power Rangers!"
"Treasure Warriors, Seek the Power!"
"Cyber Force, Transform!"
=READY!=
=SET=
"Zeroth Change!/Dragon Ascent!"
Rachel took out a triangular tried colored data card with the Lore Keeper emblem on it and inserted it "Unlock the Legend!" She called out tapping a button and spun the morphed as she was encased in light.
[Morphing Sequence]
Rachel stood in a space that was primairly red, blue, and silver as the same colored Lore Keeper rangers stood around her. Her clothes vanished as a skin tight gray bodysuit with thick silver stripes running down from her shoulders to her legs, arms to hands, and down each side. Bands of light went around her head and a blue Lore Keeper style helmet formed it having a black thick V shaped visor the trimming around it a yellow gold while red streaks going from the visor to the back gradually becoming thicker. Bands of light went about her chest forming a blue sleeveless half robe edged with silver that went about two inches below the waist and seemed attached to the gray part of the suit while a thick band of red went down both sides and around her neck with the Lore Keeper emblem in gold on the chest. Bands of deep red light then covered her arms and legs as high heeled red boots, and gloves held in place by silver rings appeared. The last thing to form around her waist was a silver belt with the buckle shaped similar to the visor with the emblem engraved on it formed holding in place a blue skirt.
[End Morphing Sequence]
"Lore Keeper Trinity Ranger ready to go. Now as my sister use to say...It's Showtime!" Rachel declared.
=UNIVERSE=
The groups split as the battle was starting as in the first group was Sabrina Grace, Will, Harry, Max, Jade, Theo, Caleb, Kathy, and Isabelle are taking on a group of Staknights and Salem who was going full strength.
Using her powers she flung most of the rangers back except for Kathy "You think your all so smart just because you tricked us?! Ha! I'll show you all a thing or two!" She shouts and flung a Staknight right at Theo.
"Normally I'd say she's just having a temper tantrum, but can't really say that. She's not exactly happy." Theo said avoiding the flung minion.
"You think? She's taking a lot of that anger out on us. It's a good thing Macy isn't here." Caleb says as he knocks away a Staknight.
They dodged the rest of her attacks and were still struggling a bit with the minions "We got to fight her differently. With how she is right now all of us fighting her would be more of a hinderance than helpful. So just one of us should." Kathy says as she cut down a Staknight.
"Well then who should fight her?" Caleb asked
Max dispatched two more Staknights and had considered this "Guys. I say we leave Salem to Kathy." Max said as the rest nod in agreement and understanding.
"Go for it. We'll take care of the rest of the Staknights." Isabelle told Kathy as Sabrina Grace nods.
Breaking away from the others Kathy rushed ahead and launched herself right at Salem. Salem saw her coming and using her powers she tossed Kathy right off to the side. Kathy grunts in a bit of pain from the action.
Salem gives a giggle "You? You are the one daring to take me on? I'd like to see you try." Salem says to Kathy with a cocky smirk on her face as a dark aura engulfed her and flared up.
Under her helmet Kathy glared as she got up "Bring it Salem." Kathy hissed and engaged her again.
Kathy ran at her and turns back to her base form as she swings Blaster Blade summoning her courage to hopefully cut through her likely psychic barrier. Which she did surprising Salem who grabs the nearest rubble and tosses it at her.
Kathy cut it down and jumped right at Salem "You aren't going to win Salem. I've been where you are, and while you might be enjoying the power now you still don't know what your using it for." Kathy told her.
Salem thows herself back and charges a blast of her psychic powers "What I'm using it for? I'm using it to help my family complete exactly what we've set out to do!" Salem shouted angered and threw her power out at Kathy.
Kathy avoid the blast of psychic energy and charged again "Your being used! Don't you get that?! That mother of yours doesn't care about you!" Kathy says and puched Salem landing a solid blow on the girl.
Salem stumbled back and used her powers to pin to a wall and discarded her sword "I won't have you saying such things. I made my choice, and it was my choice alone!" She shouts and starts to use her powers to get into Kathy's mind and try to mess with her.
Kathy squirmed and tried to get loose, but it wasn't working as Salem gives a sadistic grin "Interesting. You had a small time you were working for Glendios...how about I revert you to that state?" She says.
Kathy was starting to panic a bit before clearing her head and focused closing her eyes under her helmet "Get...out." She muttered.
Salem started to experince some resistance, but she simply pushed against the mental barrier "Stop resisting. You and I both know how this will end." Salem muttered.
"I said...get...out." Kathy said pushing back.
Salem pushed again as it was much stronger, and it seemed whenever she broke it the mental barrier simply reformed "Stop struggling." She muttered.
"No. Now...GET OUT OF MY HEAD!" Kathy shouts eyes opening as under her helmet they were now bright emerald green and glowing. Before Salem was forced out of her head she saw dragon like creature with emerald green eyes that let out a roar before pointing a sword at Salem.
Forced out Salem stumbled back and lost her hold on Kathy. Holding her hand out and deciding now was the time to act Kathy held her hand out as Blaster Blade returned to her hand and charged forward. She swung the blunt side of her blade at Salem's head and knocked her out cold for the moment.
The rest of the groups were involved in their own fights as well and Isabella saw Stabella starting the ritual "Everyone it's starting! Hurry it up!" She shouted.
Vogue saw the ongoing fights as the rangers pushed towards where Stabella was "They're all fighting so hard. Kathy and Salem are so similar I see why they are fighting one another. That Cyber Force gold ranger and Arianna...that gold girl is fighting to get her brother back despite having been hurt by him in the past." She thought and turned her gaze elsewhere.
"Maggie, Theo, and Velvet are fighting Xolimerica and the other two are against Melodalix. They care for Azalea like their friends and family." She thought and noticed the dark aura on the captives were halfway up them.
Starting to head up Vogue is stopped as the area around her is blasted and she turns seeing another group as Rachel had taken point "Just where do you think your going?" Rachel hissed.
The Staknights charged at the rest as Vogue stared down the Trinity Ranger "You don't want to fight me." She warns trying to show a hard outside, but inside she was conflicted on what to do.
Rachel pointed her blaster at Vogue "Give me one good reason why I shouldn't force my way through you. That crazy witch you call a mother has other rangers including my sister, and my...auntie being held captive." Rachel says as while it was unintentional she had let slip her unease about saving one of them.
Vogue takes a fighting stance "Your auntie has done you wrong hasn't she? Something to make you doubt yourself." Vogue states and Rachel growls going on the offense as she dismissed her blaster and charged at Vogue.
"It's none of your business what she did or how she embrassed me. Her and her freaky eyes have hurt me." She growled as Rachel thought about how hard it was for her to make friends anymore because of what had happened.
Vogue remained quite as she continued her fight against Rachel as most of the others were wondering why Vogue hadn't yet used her powers. Rachel and Vogue were barely listening as their focus was on their fight.
Bly nods as he looks how Vogue is trying to defend herself against Rachel. She is trying find an opening to aim at Stabella "We need to change things up now." Bly said to them.
"Bly is right we need to attack Stabella." Zara said to them as she was ready along with the rest.
The group closed in and Issac decided to call out "Nora, we understand why you were in that pain. Rodney, and Hawke felt it and Zeke also likely felt that pain. You were punished by Stabella weren't you?" Issac said to Vogue as he has a serious expression on his face.
Vogue is stunned as she looks at Issac as Rachel is confused by the revelation "She is one of them Issac. She is related to that monster that made my sister and auntie's life miserable long ago". Rachel said to Issac.
Vogue slightly frowns as she looks at them. "Yes she did Issac. She punished me because I sent that message to Frankie. I-I don't know what to do anymore. Tell me has your auntie ever done something so terrible as to take something that is a part of you?" Vogue asks them as she is crying to them.
The rangers in group 5 are stunned as they hear Vogue's outcry as even Rachel seemed to start thinking "No...No my auntie hasn't done anything like that to me. I was just so made she outted people that I believed I knew so well because of her eyes. I didn't even know her and my sister had powers...powers that Stabella wants." Rachel said to Vogue as she realizes that she was wrong to judge her auntie for her simply trying to help her.
Melodalix spots what is happening "Mother! We have an issue!" She called out gaining her attention alongside the rest as they turned to Vogue.
Vogue finally woke and saw what was happening "Vogue what are you doing?!" Salem exclaimed as Vogue headed towards Stabella.
Vogue...Nora as she walked up began thinking "...I thought Charles may have been the catalyst for my turning, but I was wrong. I've been hiding for years behind mask after mask after mask." Nora thought gaining a bit of confidence.
"I'm not just Vogue. I'm not just Nora. I'm not just Star. I'm all three of them, and they're only a tiny bit of what makes up me." Nora thought as her confidence built more.
"Something I should have done a long time ago. I shouldn't have accepted as I was unsure what a true family was. I had it, and I left it, but I won't make that mistake again!" Nora shouts as she glowed in a deep blue color her features starting to change.
The other daughters and Xolimerica grew angered and focused their powers preparing to destroy Nora for good for her treachery.
"Everyone give her some cover!" Morgana shouted out as the groups gather around and they all prepare there weapons to counterattack.
The groups combined there own attacks as two strong beam like attacks pushed against one another
The villains attacks were eventually flung away as the rangers were still standing "What! This...this is impossible!" Arianna says.
Velvet, Maggie, and Theo stepped forward combining their powers which hit the rest of the daughters and Xolimerica straight on knocking them out cold once again except for Salem who was stunned.
Stabella backed away unsure what to do and then sees the dark aura completly covering the captive rangers. Nora sees this and rushed forward disconnecting the wires from the captive rangers "You won't win. Never again." Nora said as the spell started to wane.
"No...No!" Stabella cried out as the blue aura around Nora shattered and she had returned to how she appeared originally and then collapsed out cold.
Following that what happened was surprsing as from Velvet, Issac, and Frankie were together and seeming to rise from them was a cyble like griffin, phoenix, and dragon who combined their powers aiming at the jewel.
"No! The scepter!" Stabella cried out as when the jewel shattered power flew out in every direction including a sphere of blue power which entered Nora. At the same time the Mark of Stabella vansihed from those who had it.
Tabitha and Wes stepped forward canceling their morphs before turning into the gold and silver Neo Defender rangers "I'd stop right their." Tabitha warned.
The rest of the rangers blocked the other entrances as she was surrounded "No...No it can't end like this." She says as Sabrina grace stepped forward.
"Robyn Queens you are guilty of crimes across dimensions and Musicola. Your powers will be stripped away, and sealed forever." Sabrina Grace said and used her own powers to strip away Stabella's.
Recovering from her temporary stunned Salem angry used her powers to knock Sabrina Grace away "Get away from our mother!" Salem yells looking near tears.
Velvet, Frankie, and Issac combined their powers and used it opening some kind of gate "N-No...NO! Not that! Nooooo!" Stabella yells as she was pushed into it all that remained was was the clothes she was wearing and the broken staff.
Stabella formerly know as Robyn Queens was gone...for good.
Salem was the most shocked and angry as she was shaking "Mom..." She muttered then shot a glare at the rangers and sneered at one in particular.
"You, and the rest will pay for this Macy. I promise." Salem said as she and the rest vanished.
The hideout began to shake "We better get out of here. Grab Nora and the rest!" Isabelle instructed, and after grabbing them they teleported out.
=UNIVERSE=
A day had passed as Nora had taken to resting after everything that had happened, and now with her friends help she knew she'd be able to hopefully adjust back. She also needed their help for something else as they came to a particular house.
Nora looked back as Charles walked up to her "Hey...umm I didn't get to say anything yesterday, but I'm sorry. I just wanted to protect you." He says and Nora hugs him.
"I-It's fine. I'm sorry for putting you all through this." Nora said.
Frankie sighed "No it's a bit all of our faults. I-I should have been there for you when you needed me." She said.
Drew nods "We haven't bothered to get to know you all that well compared to the other girls." He said as Cody nodded in agreement.
"Yeah. I guess we kind of took you for granted." Cody sighed.
Morgana puts a hand on her shoulder "Right now though let's tackle what's in front of us." She said and approaches the door to which she knocks.
The rest surround Nora as the door opens "Oh Morgana. Is there something I can help you with?" A man's voice asked.
"Well no." Morgana replied.
"Is there any news on..." A woman started as Morgana holds up a hand.
"Actually there is something I think me and my friends can help you with." Morgana said and turns to the others nodding, and they seperated revealing Nora to her parents who while divorced had been worried about Nora so they'd stuck together the past weeks.
Instantly her mother lunged forward and hugged Nora while crying as the father looked on silent and wiping away tears that were forming.
The rest had decided to seperate and give the family time to reconnect.
Morgana smiles knowing well enough how emotional that Nora likely was right now.
As her and Kathy went home Morgana thought about something else "I'm glad Nora is back, but I've been concerned about Link Joker's silence...not to mention...that will happen. I don't have much time left." Morgana thought as she knew what she'd soon have to do.
And finally after quite a few episode Nora is finally back so we can finally put an end to this four part event as Episode 54 is offically over! Now then I honestly can't say I have much I can or want to say about this chapter as I did enjoy typing this up. Though if your interested I have had a Fictionpress account for years under the same name so check it out if you want. I think that's all I want to say so until the next time this has been your friendly Fictionpress and Fanfiction author decode9!
