A week has passed since AV has lost her eyesight, and she has refused to see almost anyone as well as not leaving her house. Yet that wasn't stopping a particular female ranger from visiting, and she looked annoyed as she kept replaying when Sora had taken AV home in her head.
"How dare she. Sora is mine! Mine mine mine!" Cassie thought as she calmed herself before knocking on the door to which was answered by a woman who is more than likely AV's mother.
She stood on par with Cassie herself with golden blonde hair and blue eyes wearing a red dress shirt and pants with black shoes.
"Hello ma'am. I'm here to see AV." Cassie said.
Mrs. Winchester shakes her head "I would if I could, but Avalon has refused most company these past days. Honestly I don't know what's gotten into that girl." She says.
"Please? She's a good friend of mine and I'm really worried." Cassie insisted almost pleading.
Mrs. Winchester let out a sigh "Alright. I'm sure she will be glad to have a bit of company outside of that boy." She says.
Cassie grits her teeth "I thought you said she has been refusing company." She said trying to keep back her annoyance.
"I said 'most company'." The older woman corrected.
"Anyway's can I see her?" Cassie insisted and was allowed in and was guided to AV's room.
"Now please be gentle. She's been a bit emotional." Mrs. Winchester said calm yet stern as she let Cassie into her room closing it behind her.
AV heard the door open and closed and turned her head "Oh hi Sora. I wasn't expecting to see you so soon." AV said.
"Do I sound like Sora?" Cassie asked a hint of annoyance in her voice.
AV jumped a bit surprised "Oh hello Cassie. What are you doing here?" AV asked as Cassie walked over sitting on the bed with AV.
"I came here because I wanted to talk to you about something." She said.
AV nods picking up on a bit of Cassie's annoyed undertone "Alright. What is it you want to talk about?" AV asked.
Cassie got up close to AV's face "Sora. What is going on between you and my Sora?" she demands.
"Nothing, why do you ask?" AV replied simply.
"You and he have been talking a lot, and after what happened he took you home. It sounds like you two are becoming a couple." Cassie replied
AV shook her head "I don't have any feelings for Sora, Cassie." She replied as Cassie let out a sigh of relief.
"Good. Maybe I still have a chance with him." She says as AV frowns at this.
"Cassie perhaps there is something I should tell you about. It was something my godmother's dad told her." AV said getting Cassie's attention.
"What's that?" She asked.
"When two have true love between them. There is nothing in this world that can break them apart. If someone ever comes between them, that someone will be the one that gets hurt even more. Perhaps Sora does not share the same feelings that you may think he does." She says.
Cassie was taken aback by this and looked away "I actually never thought of it like that." She replied
"Love finds you Cassie. Not the other way around." AV tells her and was looking towards the wall and not Cassie.
"Do your parents have true love between them?" Cassie asked as AV refocused her attention towards her.
"Oh yes, they were high school sweethearts. They understand each other and can relate to each other very deeply." AV replied.
"What do you mean by that?" she asked
"My parents have something unique that almost no one else has. He accepted hers and she accepted his." AV stated simply.
"You mean like…your eyes?" Cassie questioned as AV flinched.
"Yeah. Kind of like that." AV replied as Cassie got up.
"I've got to go. I need a bit of time to think." She said. The door opened and closed AV letting out a sigh of relief.

The morning sun rose as Leo let out a yawn and got up going through his usual morning routine of changing clothes, eating breakfast, and whatever else he does eventually leaving home and going towards A&C which had become the groups usual hangout spot.
When he arrived it was already bustling and sitting over in a booth was Sora, and Adam. He walked over and sat down with them.
"Morning guys." He said as Sora just grumbles.
Adam sighs "He's been like this all morning. Trust me." He said before rubbing his cheek which was a bright shade of red and looked like a handprint.
"Must have gotten into a fight with his mom again." Leo thought as he and Adam glanced around as if looking for someone.
"Alvin's a couple towns over doing something, and no I haven't seen Cassie." Sora said bluntly figuring why the two would be glancing around.
"Got it. So any news on finding…" Adam starts glancing around before dropping his voice to a whisper.
"You know who?" he adds as Sora shakes his head.
"Lurre hasn't been able to pick him up, and haven't heard from Maya in days." Sora replies in a harsh whisper.
"Dude. I know you're worried about AV and all, but actively searching for that chimp is going to tire you out." Leo said.
"Well excuse me if I actually want to help my teammate." Adam replies sarcastically as both glare at one another.
People began to look over as Sora split the two apart "Enough guys." He said.
He looks at the two "I know you are both worried. I know that I am as well, but if you're so worried then why don't you pay her a visit?" he says to them both.
"We don't know where she lives." Both muttered looking away.
"And I do." Sora said getting up and out of his section of the booth.
"So I suggest you guys keep up." He adds as both get up following after Sora who hadn't stopped.
It had taken a few minutes, but the three boys had arrived at the Winchester family home to which Sora went up to the door and knocked for the door to be answered by Mr. Winchester.
"Ah it's good to see you again Sora. I suppose you and your friends are here to check up on AV?" he asked as Sora nods.
"Yes sir." He said as all three were let in.
"If you need anything I will be in my study." He tells them leaving for said room as Sora led the way to AV's room and knocked.
"Come in." AV's voice said as all three walked on in.
"Morning AV."
"Good morning AV."
"Morning squirt."
AV looked in the direction of the voice a small smile on her face "I didn't expect to see you all at once, but then again I didn't expect Cassie to visit me either." She said.
Sora raised an eyebrow at this "Really? She was here?" Sora asked as AV nods.
Adam walked over and sat on the bed "How you doing AV? Still hanging in there?" he asked.
"I'm…fine. Well as fine as a blind person can be." She replied.
Adam gripped one of her hands "Don't worry. I promise you we will find that chimp and get back your eyesight." He says as Leo rolls his eyes.
"You know it is her own fault that happened Leo." Leo said as Adam glares looking over at him.
"If she hadn't gone solo against chimp boy then maybe he wouldn't have stole her freak of nature eye colors." He said and rather quickly he was punched by Adam who had gotten up off the bed to punch him.
"Ugh. Don't you guys…" Sora started and glanced over seeing AV in near tears from Leo's words.
"Leave." She said simply as Leo and Adam stopped and Sora sighed heading for the door.
"But AV…" Adam started.
"Leave. Now." She said voice cracking a bit as Leo and Adam follow after Sora.

The robed figure who had introduced himself as Diablo was talking along with Abbinus and Xolicernic about a certain monster having gone rouge.
"So I see you don't have a leash on your own monsters." Diablo said waving a grey skinned hand from under his cloak.
Abbinus growled "It's not my fault Ophthalo is an overenthusiastic moronic chimp." She said
"Calm now. Though he has gone rouge he is growing stronger, and thus should be more than capable of handling the rangers." Xolicernic said keeping his composure.
"And if he isn't capable?" Diablo asks.
"Then I have no use for him other than slowing down the rangers." Xolicernic replies
Diablo nods getting up "Perhaps I should get us some assistance." He said before vanishing like a shadow. Abbinus walked away growling in order to work on her latest project after her failure with the Time Nabber.
Xolicernic went over to the computers displaying all the camera images in town and looked at them all looking for any sight of Opathalo.
=LOREKEEPERS=
"Nice going Leo. You insensitive jerk." Adam said pushing Leo as the three walked down the street.
"What. You know it and I know it that her eyes are freaky." Leo replied hand clenched into a fist.
Adam got up close glaring "So what? There wasn't any need for what you said." He counters.
Leo was about to retort when the morphers beeped and Leo picks up "What's up?" He snarls
"Nice to hear from you to." Lurre's voice retorts in response to Leo.
"Sorry about him Lurre. So what's going on?" Adam says his voice still carrying it's slightly angered tone.
"Well I know it took a while but I have come up with a solution to reverse Avalon's condition." She says noting how Leo and Adam were talking.
"So. What has to be done?" Sora asked.
"Take a wild guess. Since it's that chimps power that took her eye color along with her eyesight…" she starts as all three groan.
"We're going to have to take it out for it to be reversed right?" Leo finished.
"Exactly." Lurre states plainly.
Sora rubs his forehead "Why can't anything ever be easy?" he said aloud as Maya chuckles.
"Sora. Bad guys are never going to make it easy for you, but then again good guys don't make their job any easier either." She tells them before hanging up.
Adam crosses his arms "Okay so now we know what we have to do, but one question. How do we draw monkey brain out?" he said annoyance lanced his voice.
Sora shrugs "Don't know." He replies as Cassie was jogging up to the three a rolled up newspaper grasped in one of her hands
"I'm guessing Lurre informed you huh?" Leo asked as she nods
"But that's not the only reason I came looking for you." Cassie said and hands the newspaper to Sora who unrolls it, and on the front page was a pictured of a fainted person.
STRANGE HAPPENINGS IN LEGACY HILLS
It seems to have come to this papers attention that the town where a new set of rangers is has been experiencing a strange set of occurrences. People have been reported to be attacked and blacked out, but when they wake up they are blind and any color their eyes have had is gone. Yet this isn't occurring to everyone in this small town. It seems to only be occurring to those with unique eye colors or an off trait about their eyes like hetero-chromatic eyes. Is this a work of a monster the rangers have failed to destroy? Or has someone actually developed a way to blind a person while taking their sight and eye color?
Adam growls "Looks like Ophthalo has been around. Couldn't just stop at AV's could he." He states and walks away as does Leo.
"Don't ask." Sora says simply to which she sighs.
"I-I wasn't. I'm was just going to ask if you have an idea to draw out the chimp." She replies looking away as Sora raised an eyebrow.
"Whatever AV said must have got through to her. For now anyways." He thought as both closed their eyes ideas flying by in there head of how to draw the chimp out. Cassie's eyes then burst open a smile plastered on her face.
"Oh Sora-poo. I have an idea." She said Sora shivering at her sly yet honey sweet tone.
"How come I suddenly feel like a worm on a fishing hook?" he thought grimly as Cassie gave a small laugh.
=LOREKEEPERS=
Adam walked about frustrated at this whole situation, but mostly peeved with Leo and what he said to AV at her own home.
"AV's eyes are not freaky!" he thought defensively as he was kicking a can down the street.
"In fact I they make her stand out, and it was kind of cute how she can seem to just change them." He thought stopping taking in his own thoughts.
"Did I just call her cute?" he asked himself before a scream was heard causing him to run in the direction of the scream and quickly morph as he turned into an alleyway.
"J-Just leave me alone!" A young girl with red eyes says nervously as Ophthalo stood crouching above her.
"Oh oh oh. Just calm down young lady. This might hurt a bit…" He said lowing his hand to where the girls eyes were as it glowed.
The girl yelled in pain as he raised his hand "Oh no you don't buster!" Adam shouts as he superman punches Ophthalo sending him flying across the alleyway stopping his process.
Adam turned to the girl "Run. Get away from here now." He tells her which she does and Ophthalo gets up.
"Oh blast it, and those were a nice shade of vermillion." The chimp complains and glares at the rangers.
"You should not have done that ranger. Now I will have to resort to force." He says teeth showing as he jumps at Adam who rolls out of the way before calling upon his hammer.
"This is for AV!" Adam says before swinging the hammer making a solid hit, but it wasn't enough to throw back the monkey.
"W-What?" Adam said surprised as Ophthalo laughs.
"The only reason you got me last time was that you surprised me boy. Now it won't be as easy." He replies showing his fangs.
=LOREKEEPERS=
"I can't believe I'm doing this." Maya thought as she walked out of a costume store a bag on her shoulder as she let out a sigh wondering why she agreed to Cassie's plan.
"Can anybody do their own shopping anymore? Well at least Cassie gave me the money to buy what we she thinks we need." She thought taking out the rest of the money Cassie had given her to use.
Maya pressed the button on her com "Okay got what me need. How's preparing Sora going?" Maya asked as sounds of someone rattling against some kind of restraints is heard.
"Everything's going just good Maya." Cassie's voice chirped happily as Sora's voice is heard crying out for help making Maya sweat drop and she hangs up. It was then that her com went off and a small holographic map pops up a red dot blinking along with a black dot.
"Dang it." Maya mutters and runs in the direction of where the fight was going on at, and when she got there Ophthalo was standing over Adam biting into his helmet trying to get it to break and Adam was trying to get the chimp off.
Maya continued running and instead of doing anything to Ophthalo she tackled Adam dislodging him and his helmet from the chimps mouth.
"Maya. Uhh…thanks." He says as under his helmet he was blushing in embarrassment as Maya was still on top of him. She got up quickly and tossed the bag to Adam.
"Go." She simply instructs as Adam gets up barely catching the bag.
"But…" Adam starts.
"I don't think you get it Adam. Chimp mad. Chimp want you gone." She says simply and he nods running as Ophthalo's anger began to rise.
"Seriously who do you think you are?!" He exclaimed with extreme rage as Maya smirks and out of her pocket she takes out her red crystal key.
"You know it's been a while since I let loose and since you happen to be the perfect excuse to do so…" She states grabbing something else from her pocket.
"I might let you go so my team can handle you." She finishes. Outside the alleyway there was a flash of red light.
=LOREKEEPERS=
Since Leo walked away from the others he had continued to walk not stopping.
"Sheesh. I make one little comment and blacky goes and blows it. He really needs to cool it." He mutters to himself the annoyance in his voice having gone down.
He stops "Okay so maybe I was a bit insensitive." He says to himself.
"Or a lot." He thought.
He face palm's and groans "Ugh alright. Perhaps I should apologize." He mutters looking up and sees where he stopped and was a bit surprised. He was at AV's house.
"Irony present." He thought and goes up to the door knocking on it the door being answered by her father again who's arms were crossed and frowned when he saw Leo.
"Uhh…Hi." He said as Mr. Winchester just continues to frown glaring at Leo.
"What are you doing here?" he asks as Leo calms himself regaining his composure.
"I need to see AV. I have something I need to tell her." He replied.
The older man taps his fingers on his arm in thought "Five minutes." He finally says allowing Leo in to which he heads up to AV's room and just walks in.
"Huh? Who is it?" AV asks when she hears someone come in.
"It's me." Leo replies to which AV looks away.
"What do you want Leo." She says.
Leo sighs "Look it already took me a lot to just come here and decide to do this okay. Sorry about well you know…" He starts and rubs his head.
"I shouldn't have said anything about your eyes squirt. I was just peeved you were keeping a secret." He adds to which AV looks in his general direction.
"We all have our secrets Leo. Some more than others." She replies
"Yeah yeah. Look I know you have your reason's and all so I will let you be. Don't have to tell us if you don't feel like it okay squirt?" he says as AV pouts.
"It's AV. AV AV AV!" She insists as Leo chuckles and turns to leave.
"And don't worry about that chimp. We've got it covered squirt." He says and leaves heading out.
As he does so his morpher goes off "Ophthalo is on his way up town towards the others. They might need some help…and Sora might need some new clothes." Lurre informed as Leo raised an eyebrow at the second bit before running off towards the location of the fight.
=LOREKEEPERS=
"I hate you Cassie." Sora's voice said from the alleyway as Cassie was in the street which was relatively empty during the early afternoon.
"Come on it wasn't that bad." Cassie said trying to get Sora to come out from where he was hiding.
"You wouldn't unlock the restroom until I changed." Sora said as Cassie growls and goes to the alleyway grabbing Sora and dragging him out to reveal he was in completely different attire than his usual.
First off his jet black hair was parted on both sides and went to just above his jaw line while sections in the back stuck up. In place of his usual he was now wearing a short sleeve navy blue workout shirt with tan shorts with long boots that had a section cut off showing his toes and there were wraps going up both boots. Finally he was wearing red eye contacts that had strange symbols going around the iris.
"Don't worry this plan is full proof." Cassie assured him.
"Except the part where you made me take off my morpher." Sora retorts.
"Then that monkey would that you're a ranger. Sorry, but for this to work your going to have to live without it for a bit." She says as while nearby Adam is laughing and takes a picture of Sora who turns to glare at him.
"I swear if you post that…" He starts as Cassie holds him back.
"Come on. Just remember why we're doing this." She tells them both and they stop.
Sora sighs "Alright, but this had better work." He says as he and Cassie are walking holding hands and Adam takes his own position waiting.
The two continued to walk and talk with the talking being mostly done by Cassie as Sora was on the lookout for trouble.
The minutes ticked by until eventually an hour passed with no sign of the chimp, and Sora gave a frustrated groan about ready to give up and call it quits when he, Cassie, and Adam heard what sound like a monkey.
"Oh oh oh! What a beautiful eye pattern! I must add it to my collection!" Ophthalo's voice said before jumping down from a building in front of Sora and Cassie.
"Wow. It actually worked." Cassie said amazed her plan had worked as Adam comes out and Leo arrives with a bag of clothes.
Leo looked Sora up and down resisting the urge to laugh as Sora glared at him.
"Not. A. Word." Sora says taking the bag and in almost a quick change fashion Sora was back in his usual clothes and his morpher strapped on as he pops out the contacts.
"Ugh! Dirty trick!" Ophthalo complains.
"It's Morphing Time!" Leo yells as they all turn the dials to the Lore Keeper Suits.
"Unlock the Legend!" All four shout.
"Legacy of the Red. Lore Keeper Red Ranger!"
"Legacy of the Yellow! Lore Keeper Yellow Ranger!"
"Legacy of the Black. Lore Keeper Black Ranger!"
"Legacy of the Pink. Lore Keeper Pink Ranger!"
"Keepers of stories. Protectors of truth and hope we are…" Sora started each of them holding up there wrist showing there morpher the emblem of a gold feather quill being displayed on the screen.
"Power Rangers Lore Keepers!" All four of them said together.
"It's Showtime!" Sora said as they each summon their weapons and charge at Ophthalo who was showing his teeth in anger and ran at the rangers as well.
Cassie was the first to reach the chimp and attempted to stab at him, but he dodged before punching Cassie back knocking the wind out of her.
Sora and Adam were next both swinging their weapons at the monkey to which he caught the hammer with one hand and caught Sora's blade between two fingers with his other hand. He tossed the two up still holding their weapons and smashed them down on the ground.
Ophthalo turned to Leo who stood his ground wielding his Katana.
"And then there was one." He laughed before continuing.
"Put the weapon down ranger. There is no way you can possibly win." He said to which Leo lowers his weapon in a way as if he is thinking.
He then began to chuckle before going into a full on laugh which both confused and angered Ophthalo.
"What's so funny?!" the chimp demanded as Leo finally stops and raised his weapon.
"You. You honestly think I'm going to listen to you? Especially when I'm winning this fight." He replied before he charged at Ophthalo.
As he charged he stopped half way and jumped coming down quickly on the monkey and hit him on his head making him scream out in pain.
"OWW! You idiot! Don't you know how sensitive the head is?!" He howled as Leo turned the dial to another yellow ranger.
"Unlock the Legend!" he said and turned into Triassic Squad Yellow to which he swung the Triassic Blade hitting Ophthalo on the head yet again before turning the dial and turning into Jurassic Squad Yellow.
He changed the settings on the gun and fired it off at it's highest blast rate which made contact with the monkey's head who stumbled back as Leo changed into one last yellow ranger. A pure yellow suit with gold and silver musical notes going across the chest replaced the previous as a helmet with a saxophone shaped visor replaced the previous. A saber was in his hands.
Leo jumped forward and hit Ophthalo on the head, but as he did a bit of music seemed to sound off from the saber. He continued to hit the monkey on the head each note seeming to play a bit of jazz music. As he finished Ophthalo was in a daze.
Leo then back off and went back to his normal form his katana already ready as he jumped high and came down at the monkey who was now recovering, but didn't have time to move.
"Oh no." was his last words before he was sliced right down the middle and Leo turned facing away from him as Ophthalo explodes.
"Tale End." Leo said as after the explosion small orbs of many varying colors went flying off including an ever changing rainbow colored one went to AV's home and into the sleeping girl who gave a small wince of pain and awoke her eyes back to the green everyone has seen.
=LOREKEEPERS=
The four rangers were in The Great Library three of the four sore and tired from the long day along with their mentor who looked like she had run a good ten miles.
"Shesh that monkey can put up a fight." Maya mutters to which all the others nod in agreement.
"Umm…hello everyone." A female voice said to which they all turn to see AV who was there and smiling. Adam was the first to react as he got up practically running over and hugging the younger girl.
"I'm so glad you're back AV. We were all so worried about you." He says.
"A-As much as I a-appreciate the sentiment. You're chocking me." AV said to which Adam lets her go to catch her breath as the others laugh.
"You missed a big battle today squirt." Leo said a small smirk on his lips.
AV nods "I know, but I wasn't worried." She said rubbing her chin.
"But how did you draw him out? From what Lurre said Ophthalo is drawn to rare eye colors and patterns." She adds as Sora blushes a deep red out of embarrassment and Adam opens his phone.
"Well you see…" Adam starts and is about to show AV when Sora lunges forward grabbing the phone.
"Oh no you don't. Not in this lifetime." Sora said running off with Adam right behind him demanding his phone back as the others laugh.
"So…Do you want to explain about your eyes?" Cassie asked glancing over at AV.
"I would rather not for now." AV replies as Leo nods.
"As I said it's okay. Nobody's going to force yah." As he said this he gave a hard glare at Cassie meaning that she needs to leave the subject be.
AV took a look around and saw that rather suddenly Maya had disappeared and was now wondering where she had gone to.
=LOREKEEPERS=
Maya walked out of a coffee shop a freshly brewed cup in her hand as she sat down at a nearby outside table. She looks around before taking a sip of her coffee
"Ahh…not to sour, and not to sweet. Perfect." She thought sitting back. It was then that someone took a seat next to her, but she paid no mind.
"Well…funny running into you again Maya." A young man's voice said as her eyes opened wide several emotions running through as she turned to the man that sat next to her.
"Tony?" She asked as the man gives a light hearted chuckle.
Episode 5 is at it's end and it appears more question's are popping up as things go on. So AV finally has her eyesight restored, Leo is learning to be a bit more open minded and sensitive, and Sora was thoroughly embarrassed by being forced to cosplay as a Naruto character. Speaking of which I do not own Naruto. Now I have planned out the rest of Arc 1 so here is what remains:
Pink Princess (A Cassie focused episode)
Black Ranger Games (A Adam focused episode)
Time for, Time Force! P1&P2 (Sora focused episodes/Time Force tribute episodes)
Now I hope you enjoy the rest of this arc and the story, but now I have to go. Until next time folks this has been decode9.
