Last Time on Power Ranges Lore Keepers
"Hyah!" An older female voice said as Reck's was suddenly kicked from the side.
"Ugh…who dares interfere?!" Reck's exclaimed looking toward who kicked her as did the teens.
AV stared in surprise "Miss…Spears…" AV said. Right in front of the group was the librarian.
Spears jumped landing on the head of the Reck's before using it as a catapult launching herself in the direction of the kids.
She landed near them "Trans In!" She said and the entire group vanished as Reck's growled in frustration.
"This isn't over!" She shouted angered.
=LOREKEEPERS=
The six teen and one adult had seemed too disappeared from where they were and in that same instant they materialized somewhere else. The teens tumbled over each other tangled together in a massive pile while Spears was off to the side and gave a sigh.
"Get your foot out of my face squirt!"
"Kindly remove your hand from my lower region."
"Why am I always on the bottom?"
Spears went over and managed to assist in getting the teens untangled from each other. They stood up and took in the view of wherever they were, and emotions varied from shocked, moderately surprised, and slightly annoyed.
"Wow…and I thought I owned a lot of books." Sora said after almost a minute of silence before clutching his shoulder in pain as Leo stood by to support him.
Stretched out in front of them were shelves as tall as two story buildings and they went as far as the eye could see. And stacked on the shelves was book upon book each one having a name entitled on the side. On the floor were small desks with open books and…hovering quills that were writing in the blank pages.
"Miss Spears where are we?" AV asked.
"I think it's better to ask a friend of mine than me myself." Spears said walking forward the teens following.
=LOREKEEPERS=
Reck's walked into the warehouse bowing before a figure. It appeared to be a human female in her late thirties with shoulder length jet black hair and deep green eyes who was extremely thin. She wore purple shirt, black pants and matching sandals.
"So how did it go with the intruders Reck's?" She asked in a stern yet honey sweet tone.
"Well umm…They…got away Abbinus." Reck's reported as the woman frowned.
"*Sigh* Tsk, Tsk, Tsk, and what are we going to do about that Reck's? Am I going to have to get Xolicernic in here to punish you?" She said about ready to call out for him.
"W-WAIT! I do have something to add." Reck's pleads as Abbinus stops.
"This had better be good." She said as Reck's nods.
"You see as the battle went on I got a Shade to snap some photo's of them." Reck's said as a Shade walked in carrying a camera and the already developed photo's of each of the teens.
"I don't see how this…" Abbinus began before getting to a picture of AV and she stopped. She looked closely at the photo she then began to shake.
"Hehehehe…hahahaha!" She cackles as Reck's backs away slightly disturbed by her mistress's behavior.
Abbinus looked at Reck's a large evil grin on her face "Reck's dear were those pitiful human's rescued by our knight friend?" She asked.
"Unfortunately they were ma'am. I'm sorry that I failed…" Reck's started.
"Good. I'm actually glad knight girl rescued them." She interrupts as Reck's stops.
Reck's just watched Abbinus unsure how to respond "Why? Why are you happy they were rescued?" She finally asked as Abbinus began to cackle again.
"Because now. Now I can get the one who should rightfully be MINE!" She replies getting up and throwing the picture of AV at Reck's who clumsily catches it.
"I don't care what you do. I don't care how you do it. I don't care who you send, but get me that girl." Abbinus said as Reck's walks off picture in claws and goes off deeper into the hideout towards were all the other monsters were.
=LOREKEEPERS=
"Where are we going Miss Spears? I mean really we've been walking for like an hour." Cassie complained as Spears groans.
"We haven't been walking that long drama queen, but you do got a point." Sora said in agreement as Spears stops turning to face the teens.
"Okay first off stop calling me Miss Spears while we're outside school. Makes me sound like some old lady." Spears said to them.
"Then perhaps you should maybe give us your name if you want us to call you by it." Leo points out as Spears turns around walking off the teens following.
"…Maya." Spears said after a few minutes.
"Hmm? What?" Alvin said seconds after.
"My first name is Maya. Maya Spears." Maya said to them as she took a turn and they came to a large round area. In the center of it was a large U shaped table, and off to the side was a small selection of books on a smaller set of shelves. Some of the books had multiple bands of color going across it. One in particular had Green, White, Red, and Black while another was Red, Gold, and Orange.
Seated in the middle of the large U table looked like a young girl no older than AV. She had hair of pure silver and wore a small silver, gold, and white kimono with various markings on them. In her hand was a rainbow colored quill and a pot of ink was off to her side. The girl looked back showing her silver eyes.
"I'm glad you made it out of there Spears." The girl said as each of the teen recalled hearing her voice from the com device on Maya's wrist.
Maya rolled her eyes "I've told you before Lurre you can call me Maya." She replies as Lurre giggles before turning her attention to the teens.
"Are you all alright?" She asked before seeing Sora grasping his shoulder blood starting to seep out again. Lurre frowned before she approached her hands glowing silver and she waved it over his shoulder the pain starting to vanish.
Sora removed his hand and much to his and most of the others surprise the bleeding had stopped and the shoulder appeared healed leaving only puncture like scars on his skin.
"Who and what are you?" Sora asked as Lurre indicates for each of them to take a seat as Maya left them heading over to the shelf of colored books.
"My name is Lurre, and I am a race of beings called Lore Keepers." She informed as Adam raised an eyebrow.
"So you're a race of aliens who tell stories?" he inquired getting a chuckle out of Cassie as Lurre shakes her head.
"No Adam Cots. It's much more than that." She said as Adam backed his chair away.
"H-How do you know my name? I haven't even introduced myself! Are you a mind reader? Yeah you must be a mind reader!" He exclaimed as Lurre rubs her head feeling a headache starting to come on.
"No I'm not Adam. Please calm down and allow me to continue." Lurre insists.
"Yeah just calm down." Cassie repeated.
"As I was going to say us Lore Keepers from creation are given a heavy job." Lurre continues as she then stretched her arms indicating the whole library.
"We must record the history of every person of every world, reality, and dimension." She continued.
"Wait wait wait. That is clearly impossible. Nobody is capable of doing that." Alvin said as Lurre shakes her head.
"As I said from our creation. Lore Keepers are beings of pure energy, and as such we are ageless and capable of appearing in any form we wish." Lurre said to them.
Sora looked around "If you're an alien race then how come it's only you in this gigantic library?" He asked as Lurre looks down and away.
Leo slapped Sora on the back of the head.
"Years ago there was a great catastrophe. A fellow Lore Keeper named Diablo broke a sacred oath and stole the rainbow ink." Lurre said to them.
"Rainbow ink?" Sora asked plainly.
"Yes. The ink capable of rewriting any event in a mortal person's life." Lurre explained as the teens shiver.
"In truth he was just trying to do something good, but because of what he did it started a chain of events that lead to an era in you world called The Dark Ages." Lurre told them and pointed to a set of shelves. Housed among there were several black books.
"Those books are a testament to everything that happened in that age." She said.
"Enraged by this many fellow Lore Keepers attacked Diablo in retaliation for what he caused." Lurre continued tears starting to form in her eyes.
"Diablo slaughtered them. With the Lore Keepers becoming nothing more than a myth the last Lore Keepers used their power to bind Diablo to bone and seal him away in the void between worlds." She adds tears trickling down her cheeks.
"Yet because they used their own power they began to fade. Leaving a young Lore Keeper to continue their legacy." Lurre finished as Cassie walks over and hugs Lurre.
"Shh it's okay." Cassie said as Lurre calms herself.
Cassie backs away going back to the seat she had been in "That is actually one of the reasons you are all here." Lurre tells them.
"What?" AV asks.
"She means Diablo is breaking out of his holding cell. Also known as the void between worlds." Maya said having returned near the end of Lurre's tale.
"And in order to handle it Lurre wanted me to find six teens who could handle the power." She continued the teen confused by what she meant as she circled around the teens.
"You know all those tales about knights and dragons? Well they are true." She adds.
"So are the tales about aliens, secret government projects, alternate realties, and other dimensions." She continued to circle the group.
"You are losing me Miss Spears. What do all of those have in common?" Alvin asks as Maya passed him ruffling his hair as she passed.
"Good question Alvin, and the answer is that whenever a world, reality, or dimension was threaten by a force not even the government could handle people took other means to defeat it." Maya replied as she reached her hand into her pocket and placed a device on the desk the teens getting up to look at it.
It looked like a slimmed down large crimson red watch the dial capable of turning. Around the dial was buttons of various colors while the LED screen displayed a picture of a person in red skin tight spandex suit that had white gloves and boots with small red diamonds going around. Larger red diamonds went around the chest and a white belt was around the waist a gold coin with a tyrannosaurs engraved in it was barely noticeable. The helmet was also red with a slightly curved visor.
"Hey isn't that one of the Mighty Morphing Power Rangers?" Leo asked recognizing the ranger from old new reports a teacher had shown a few years prior involving incidents in Angle Grove.
"Yes it is Leo. Yes it is." Maya said
"Alright, but what does this have to do with dealing with this Diablo?" AV asked as Sora picked up the watch like device to take a closer look at it.
"Two years ago Diablo nearly broke out, but thanks to the efforts of thirty-eight ranger teams and some…outside help the breakout was stopped." Maya started and takes away the watch from Sora.
"How come I feel a catch coming." Leo states plainly.
"But it came at a high cost. They lost the ability to morph." Maya added as Leo groans actually hating that he was right for once.
"Lurre here though managed to gather most of the rangers powers, and I myself have been working on perfecting this." Maya said as AV was the first to realize what the watch device really was.
"It's a morpher." AV states as Maya nods.
"Indeed. This is the Red Lore Morpher." Maya said to them.
Cassie went to touch it, but Maya slapped her hand away "And right now is the only one currently functioning." She quickly adds as Cassie pouts rubbing her hand.
Lurre cleared her throat "Perhaps Spears you should tell them how it works?" She suggested.
Maya rubs the back of her head embarrassed "Right Lurre. You see in order for it to work…" She started before what could only be described as a siren sounded off resulting in the teens and Maya putting their hands to their ears.
"What is that? The fire alarm?" Leo asked as a large screen suddenly appeared displaying a group of Shades and Reck's with them as well.
"Oh great. Ugly is back." Adam added as the alarm died down and Maya's face became neutral as she glanced to Lurre who nods in approval to what she knows she is thinking.
"Someone needs to get down there and fight back. Innocents could get hurt." Maya said turning to the kids as she stepped up to Sora handing him the Red Lore Morpher.
"Right now this is the only one working. Use it wisely." She tells him as Sora shoots her a questioning gaze.
"Why should I do this? And why red?" he asked as Maya stares him down.
"So you're just going to stand by and let others get hurt?" She asked as Sora tensed when the question was asked.
Maya put a hand on his shoulder "You just can't stand by and let that happen am I right? It's not you." She then asks as Sora gives a small nod.
"As for your other question well I'm actually trusting my gut on this." She said and glances to Lurre giving her a thumbs up as Sora was teleported away to the city the large screen was still up and displaying what was happening in the city.
Maya walked away the other five following "Hey what do you think you're doing sending my buddy out there?" Leo demanded as Maya came to a shelf with a metal case and tools.
"He can handle himself." Maya replied.
"He'll get slaughtered!" Cassie retorts glaring at the librarian.
"How could you do that to him?!" Adam exclaimed.
The five continued to talk as Maya returned to the U shaped table with the case and tools she needed.
"QUIET! I'm actually working on a way to help him." Maya said silencing the teens.
"How do you plan on helping him?" Leo demanded holding himself back.
Instead of answering the question Maya opens the case revealing five devices similar to the one she gave Sora colored navy blue, electric yellow, emerald green, metallic black, and deep magenta.
"I only need a few minutes then these will be operational." Maya told them to which they backed off and let her start working on them with the assistance of Lurre who came over to help.
=LOREKEEPERS=
Reck's and a large squadron of Shades continued to attack the city and grabbed people hoping to find the girl that Abbinus had told them to find.
"Ugh no such luck! Where is that child hiding?" Reck's said anger evident in her tone.
It was then that Sora had appeared in a flash of crimson light the Red Lore Morpher strapped onto his wrist.
"You again. Go home kid no better yet tell me where your friend in blue is." She demands.
"You're in no position to be making demands Reck's! You've attacked innocent people and hurt them." Sora said pointing at the creature.
"Yeah so what yah going to do about it? Punish me?" She retorts laughing before ordering the Shades to attack Sora.
The Shades jumped and ran at Sora who backpedals and jabs at the creatures or kicks them in the gut sending them back as they either are thrown back into others or disappeared into puffs of smoke.
"Sora! Sora can you hear me?" Maya's voice asked over the morpher.
"Yeah I can hear you. Now how do I morph?" Sora asked as he kicked another Shade back and proceeded to climb up some rubble. As he did so Maya explained how to utilize the morpher.
"Why don't you just give up kid? You're times up." Reck's taunted as Sora stood on top of rubble.
"No it's not Reck's. In fact I think…" Sora started his wrist up showing his morpher to Reck's.
"IT'S MORPHING TIME!" Sora shouted spinning the dial clockwise pictures of many rangers going by quick until it stopped at the last one.
"Unlock the legend!" he exclaimed slamming his hand on the dial which went in and a bright red light enveloped Sora
-Morphing Sequence-
Sora stood on a red platform all his body except his head was covered with white energy. It faded away revealing skin tight white spandex. Bands of red light covered his legs and arms turning into solid red boots and gloves emblazed with a gold feather quill. Bands of red light then covered wrapped around his chest forming a red sleeveless half robe edged with gold that went about two inches below the waist and seemed attached to the white part of the suit. Finally bands of red light formed around Sora's head making a red helmet and for the visor was three V's stacked on top of each other.
-End Morphing Sequence-
Reck's took a few steps back "W-What?! No no no no this isn't happening." She said panicking.
"Legacy of the red. Lore Keeper Red Ranger!" Sora declared posing and then got out of it into a more neutral stance.
"No no no no! You're all suppose to be gone! How can there be another group of rangers?" Reck's demanded as under his helmet Sora rolled his eyes and tapped one of the colored buttons on his morpher calling his weapon to him. It was a long sword with a red hand guard around it.
"Ugh…Shades attack!" Reck's exclaimed the Shades running at Sora who tightened his grip on the sword and ran at the creatures. He slashed at whatever came in range, but to the Shades large numbers he was having some difficulty and while he wasn't looking Reck's came from behind and attacked Sora.
"Ugh…" He looked back and was ready to attack when Reck's grabbed him with her claws and energy began to pour out of him and into her seeming to weaken Sora. Reck's threw down Sora.
"Ahh sweet rage. Yours is so tasty ranger." She said as Sora got back up both hands grasping the sword and then ran at Reck's. She raised her claws blocking the strikes with ease as Sora exhausted himself.
Reck's grabbed Sora by the throat and threw him back into a pile of rubble.
"Face it ranger you can't win." Reck's said as Sora struggled to get up as some Shades closed in to gang up on him.
"You just had to play hero huh Sora?" Leo's voice suddenly asked coming out of nowhere. Sora and Reck's looked around their attention eventually drawn to one of the larger piles of rubble where each of the others stood.
"What are you guys doing here? It's not safe." Sora states as Cassie frowns.
"We can take care of ourselves thank you." She said hands on her hips.
"Besides you were getting thrown around so we thought we'd give you a hand." Adam added grinning as Alvin just nods in agreement.
"Instead of talking how about we just show what we mean." AV said showing her navy blue morpher the others following suit showing there's as Reck's sweats.
"Uhh…could we maybe talk about this?" She asked.
"Too late crabby." Leo said as the five spun the dials all the way clockwise stopping at a suit that was similar looking to Sora's.
"Unlock the power!" The five shouted and morphed like Sora. Cassie and AV were in Pink and Blue respectively with slightly longer robes going six inches below the waist and trimmed with gold like Sora's. Leo, Alvin, and Adam were each outfitted with Yellow, Green, and Black variations of the same robes respectively but they were only as long as Sora's and trimmed with silver instead of gold. The helmets were the same with similar visors.
"Legacy of the Blue. Lore Keeper Blue Ranger." AV said and jumped down standing right beside Sora
"Legacy of the Yellow. Lore Keeper Yellow Ranger!" Leo exclaimed jumping down to Sora's left pounding the ground as he did so.
"Legacy of the Green. Lore Keeper Green Ranger." Alvin managed to say sprinting down standing next to AV.
"Legacy of the Black. Lore Keeper Black Ranger." Adam said as he goes to head down, but trips doing flips down the rubble yet surprisingly manages to stay up ending up beside Leo
"Legacy of Pink. Lore Keeper Pink Ranger!" Cassie said excitedly as she came down standing next to Alvin.
Reck's began to back away before doing a full 180 turn and running off ordering the Shades to attack which they complied and charged at the rangers who each summoned their weapons except for Alvin who was starting to back away. AV summoned a set of silver and blue hand blasters. Leo was given a wide blade katana. A large black hammer appeared in Adam's hands which he took looking ready to attack. And a set of long silver and pink tipped sai's appeared in Cassie's hands.
The five rangers ran forward at the Shades while a smaller group went after the retreating green ranger and were chasing him around a car. This continued for a few minutes before the smaller group decided to split and come at him both ways running full speed. As they were about to grab him Alvin jumped out of the way making the Shades collide into each other and disappear in a puff of smoke.
"Didn't mean to do that." He says.
Cassie ducked low dodging another attempt of being attacked by the Shades and kicked one back before throwing one of the sai's at it resulting it the sai going through the Shade it disappearing in a puff of black smoke. She quickly retrieved it and got an idea as more Shade's appeared.
Cassie quickly spun the dial landing on a picture of a ranger that would be a match for Unity Force Red except it was pink and the visor looked like blowing winds.
"Unlock the legend!" Cassie exclaimed doing the same thing she did as when she morphed pink bands of energy covering her changing her suit fully pink with a skirt and the last bit changing her helmet as her morpher stayed and a bow appeared in her hand and a quiver with arrows on her back.
Cassie took an arrow and began to shoot as she retreated using the bow to knock the Shades back if they got close.
Meanwhile Leo and Adam were back to back fighting against the Shades.
"Why is it it's always me and you who get stuck together?" Adam asks as he punches a Shade back.
Leo kicks back one "Don't know. Don't care really." Leo replied as they both turn the dials of there morphers Adam's stopping at a picture depicting a black ranger in knight like armor and Leo's depicted a yellow ranger with a tiger motif.
"Unlock the legend!" They both exclaim as they turned into Mystic Knight Black and Beast Warrior Yellow. Adam drew the sword on the side and began to slice at the Shades while Leo attacked the Shades with a set of long daggers both slicing there group into nothing.
Sora and AV fought against their own group AV firing off her pistols while Sora continued to slash at them. Both backed off from the group.
"You thinking what I'm thinking squirt?" Sora asked turning the dial on his morpher.
AV began to do the same "Possibly, and please call me AV. Not squirt." She request as both stop on a certain ranger of their respective color. Both were similar in design to Element Fusion Silver yet themed toward Fire and Water like how Silver was more metal themed.
"Unlock the legend!" Both said changing into Element Fusion Red and Blue and wielding their weapons which was a katana for red and a trident for blue.
Sparks of fire seemed to come off of the katana and drips of water began to gather around the trident. Both swung their weapons forward causing a large fireball and sharp waves of water hit the monsters.
Whatever Shades wasn't destroyed of the groups were all together in a single one as five of the six came together going back to Lore Keeper form. They tapped the red button on the side of the morpher summoning an overly large white gatling gun with multiple barrels and required all of them to keep it up.
"Lore Blaster armed." Cassie started.
"Targets locked on." Adam added.
"Ready." Leo continued.
"Aim…" AV continued.
"Fire!" Sora said pulling the trigger. The blaster hummed to life shooting out multiple colored lasers hitting the Shades and destroying them in a large explosion.
"Tale end." Sora declared as they all cheered at what they accomplished.
=LOREKEEPERS=
The five arrived back via teleportation to The Great Library each proud of their first fight going over so well, and as they arrived Maya and Lurre were both clapping.
"Congratulations rangers. That was a well fought battle." Maya said as Adam rubs the back of his head.
"Oh it was nothing. I did most of the work and all…" Adam started but didn't continue as the others sent him small glares.
Lurre looked around "Where is Alvin? Shouldn't he be here with you all?" Lurre asked as the others looked around noticing he was gone all confused as to why.
=LOREKEEPERS=
Alvin was home in room in his civilian form. The Green Lore Morpher was on his desk table as he just stared at it.
"I know I took it to help, but…but I just can't be expected to fight." He says to himself in a whisper as he rolled down the long sleeve shirt revealing a scar as he pondered what to do tomorrow when he sees the others face to face in homeroom.
And that's episode 2 folks featuring the first morph as well as four transformations and the first use of the Lore Blaster. If it seemed too rushed or if you feel like there is something else that could have been done leave a review. Now I might not be updating as often since I start a job sometime soon this month. Until next time folks this is has been decode9.
