"Finally…It's finally done." Abbinus says from inside her make shift lab having put the final touches on a device on the table. It appeared to be some metal gauntlet and coming out of it was some crystals glowing blue and had a phone for a screen interface. It could be worn by a person.
Abbinus seemed pleased "Now to test it." She says powering up the device. At first it started up, but seconds later it powered down and she frowned.
"Not enough power. Ugh…and I'm this close." She said as Xolicernic walked on in and saw the device.
"Is that the Time Window? I must say I'm impressed Abbinus, but shouldn't it be working?" He said and Abbinus shots him a glare.
"Shut it Askew. I just need a means to 'charge' it so to say." She says a plan already forming in her mind as Xolicernic walks away a secondary plan forming in his own mind as a way to ensure that the plan worked because he had his own plans for the Time Window and for changing the past.
"Now how to power this…" Abbinus thought and a wicked grin crosses her face and she chuckles glancing in the direction of the electrical power plant in town.
"Oh Dracotaur. I could use your assistance." She called out and the large hybrid came into the lab.
"What do you want witch." He demanded clearly annoyed with her.
Abbinus showed her device "You see this. It will allow it's wearer to traverse time to any point that they want, but it is in need of power." She tells him.
"I don't see how this involves me." He replied turning to leave.
"I know a place to get it the power it needs, but I will be detected by the rangers so I require someone capable of giving me enough time to get it enough power." She says and he stops.
"Are you meaning to say that your presence will be enough to ensure the rangers to come running to the location?" He asked as she nods.
Dracotaur considers this "You have a bodyguard and warrior witch." He tells her as she smirks.
"Perfect. Now lets be off." She said as they both vanish in puffs of smoke.

It was a wet and rainy day in Legacy Hills as Sora walked by himself towards the school. He was actually a bit sore about what had happened the previous day with his mom and recalled what he had said.
"Fine you want to know. I wish dad had never met you. If anything I wish dad had married Aunt Tia or Aunt Liz. They actually care about me and want to be around me!" What was said echoed in his mind. When he had woke up that day he hadn't seen his mom at all and figured she must have head off for work.
As Sora walked he heard the sound of others laughing and actually trying to have fun despite the weather. He then saw the rest of his team and smiles. Around them he did feel good and like he could let his guard down around them.
"Don't go thinking that Sora. Leo's you're only friend." He thought shaking his head as he caught up to the rest of them, and they all walked to school Sora remaining quiet most of the time responding only to questions directed at him to make it look like he was listening to them.
After homeroom and a usual run in with Mrs. Steps Sora headed for his first class of the day which was Science and he had AV with him in the class. That day was to be an experiment and the teacher began pairing them which Sora was paired with AV.
Sora and AV sat at their table going through the procedure "So…I hope you don't mind, but I still want to talk to you about something." AV said as she gave Sora something involved with the experiment.
"What about?" Sora asked adding what was given to the experiment.
"A few days back. Your talk with Beatrice and lying about being Cassie's friend." She replied as Sora groans.
"I already told you. We might be part of the same team, but that doesn't mean I have to like it." He replied in a whisper.
AV was silent a moment "Do you consider any of us friends Sora? I mean besides Leo." AV asked as Sora tensed up.
"I-Its complicated AV. You wouldn't understand." He replies as under AV's sunglasses on eye turned a dark orange and the other a bright orange.
"Maybe if you explained it I could understand it." AV insisted as Sora grabs the next thing needed for the experiment.
"I don't want to talk about it." He says avoiding eye contact with her.
AV crosses her arms "You are acting like a child Sora. Why won't you open yourself up to us?" AV insisted.
"As I said I don't want to talk about it AV. It's nothing of your concern." He said getting annoyed.
The conversation would have gone further, but was cut off as the lights went off and several students let out shouts and yells of annoyance.
The communicator installed in the morpher went off "Got trouble at the power plant. It's Abbinus. Don't know what she's doing, but get down front pronto." Maya's voice said to them.
The entire class was starting to argue as the teacher tried to calm them all making it easy for AV and Sora to leave the classroom and ran down the hall. Along the way the rest of the group caught up to them and they made it outside easily and Maya joined them.
"What could she be doing at the power plant?" Alvin asked.
"No clue, but we need a faster way of getting there." Cassie said as they all stop.
"I think I got just the thing." Maya said tapping the communicator like device on her wrist. Seconds pass and the sound of motorbike engines were heard, and coming into view on auto pilot was six motorbikes.
Each one was a pearl white with custom all terrain tires. Emblemized on the front was the same feather quill that was on their suits, but instead of gold each feather quill was the same color as their respective ranger indicating which bike belonged to who.
"Okay while they are unfinished they will get you where you need to go and will do it fast. Lurre had them built in case the teleport function of the morpher goes down." She said to them as all them except Sora admires the bikes.
Sora tapped his foot waiting beside his bike "Instead of admiring can we get going? Threat to stop and all that remember." Sora reminds them annoyed at the distraction in front of them.
They all look up at him breaking out of the admiration "Yeah we hear yah Sora. Let's go guys." Leo said all of them turning the dials on there morpher to the standard suit.
"Unlock the Legend!" They all said morphing and were on the bikes and peeled out leaving a trail of smoke behind them and Maya coughing.
=LOREKEEPERS=
"Since we're dealing with Abbinus I say we split. Two groups of three converging on her make it less likely she will escape." AV suggested as they rode down the road heading for the plant.
"That's our fearless leaders call." Alvin said as Sora rolls his eyes under his helmet.
"What you got in mind AV? I'm all ears." Sora replied.
"I was thinking Cassie, me, and you can take the direct route to her. Meanwhile Leo, Adam, and Alvin can take the back route. We corner her and stop whatever it is she is doing." AV said as Sora nods.
"You heard the girl. Now let's get to it." Sora said as the Yellow, Green, and Black rangers split taking the back roads heading for the plant as the rest went straight on towards the plant.
Sora, AV, and Cassie arrived at the plant which as expected there was electrical generators, wire insulators of many sizes, metal pipes, and boards along with miniature warehouse which probably housed and kept the generators so as they wouldn't get wet.
"Okay that crazy must be around here…" Cassie started but didn't get to continue as something was thrown at her forcing her to duck and dodge.
Cassie got up her, Sora, and AV looking at whoever had just arrived. It was Xolicernic and a new monster. It looked to be made out of solid rock and it had comically large arms that seemed almost too big for its body.
"Let me guess…Xolicernic right?" Sora said plainly.
"Indeed red ranger, and this here is Blocker. I will not allow you to stop Abbinius from charging the device." He says using his psychic powers to forge an axe from pipes and whatever else is around.
AV looked at Xolicernic curiously "Device. What kind of device?" She asked as the green skinned alien just laughs.
"You think I'm going to just tell you blue ranger? I might be evil, but I'm not stupid." He replied.
"I dare not comment on that." Blocker said as both sides ran at the other ready to engage and start the fight.
=LOREKEEPERS=
Leo, Adam, and Alvin arrived at the other end of the plant which resembled the front yet there was much more space and a lot less wires around as many seemed to have been buried into the ground.
"You know this looks like the perfect set up for an ambush." Adam said as he and the others walked forward.
"And you've been watching too many movies from the 70's Adam." Leo said to him.
"Then again he may have a point. This place is enough to do an ambush or make a reasonable fighting ground." Alvin says.
"That is correct green ranger." The voice of Dracotaur says as the rangers freeze looking around for the source of the voice. The sound of footsteps echoed as out of one of the mini waryhouse stepped out the hybrid.
All three guys tensed and got into a battle ready position as Draotaur laughs "You are the ones that Diablo is worried about? You're nothing more than mere children." He states and laughs again.
Annoyed Leo ran at him and tried to hit him, but the hybrid moved quickly causing Leo to miss and Dracotaur was now behind him. He fired off a blast of energy at Leo from behind hitting him and knocking him to the ground.
Leo got up and turned to the others who nodded each of them turning the dials to a different ranger of their respective colors.
"Unlock the Legend!"
Adam was stripped to his white spandex then bands of black energy wrapped around and formed into something like a black jacket with gold trimming and a symbol on the chest that was connected to the white and black boots appeared. A gold belt appeared around his waist and his helmet changed. It was simple with a silver mouthpiece and outlined on the side of each helmet was a snake.
"Venom of the Snake! Megaforce Black!" Adam declared holding an axe with both hands.
Alvin was next as he too was stripped down to the spandex, but it changed from white to black with the symbol of two crossed swords and a keyhole was added. A set of large green X's collided into his chest adding a high collar like green jacket to it with gold around the collar and belt as green boots with grey bands around them appeared as well. A large green V collided changing the helmet it was solid green with a simple oval like visor and the same symbol on the suit was on top of the helmet.
"Super Megaforce Green!" Alvin says a blaster in both hands.
Like the others Leo was stripped down to his spandex which turned black and a yellow samurai like robe formed as white gloves with black bands appeared holding them in place. Next was yellow boots with black bands and a belt with a large circular center. A sword came flying at him and he grabbed it opening up the center of the belt revealing a disk he flips before catching and puts on the sword. The last thing to change was the helmet as a symbol came flying at the helmet hitting it and changing it.
"Yellow ranger, ready!" Leo says sword out to his side and the three ran to engage Dracotuar.
=LOREKEEPERS=
Meanwhile on the other side the girls and Sora have engaged Xolicernic and Blocker each one having changed into another ranger. AV had turned into a ranger with a solid blue suit and white and black band gloves and boots with white around the neck. A yellow box was trimmed with black and the helmet was simple with a few car like features and a added skirt.
Cassie had turned into a pink ranger with white gloves and boots with gold bands around them and a belt with a blue almost star like symbol and held the skirt. White and pink rotated around the chest like a circle and the helmet was simple with an upside down triangle for a visor and bands of white came from both sides and above the visor connecting with the back.
Finally Sora had turned into a red ranger with white gloves, boots, and chest area all of which had a black zig zag like patterning going across/around it horizontally. The belt was white as well with an upside down triangle like gold belt buckle with a black V on the inside of it and strapped to the side was a saber. The helmet had a simple visor and a silver area with a mouth like area. Two green slits were on the top of the helmet just above the visor with yellow markings on top of it.
Sora drew the sword and ran at Xolicernic while AV had two large blasters in her hands firing off shots at Blocker but was careful with her aim as Cassie was close with a lance like weapon. Blocker just laughed hiding behind his large hands. He threw one forward hitting Cassie knocking her back, but was caught and held up by AV who ran in when Cassie got hit.
Both nodded at one another and went back at trying to break through the creature's defense. Meanwhile Sora was involved in his clash with Xolicernic ax and sword clashing both countering the other.
"I will say you impress me red ranger, but it's futile. I've had time to master my powers and hone them. You are still fresh meat." He said and kicked Sora before hitting him with the ax knocking him down.
Sora groans getting up and turns the dial to a ranger of a different color and there is a flash of purple light. The helmet changed resembling that of a wolf with sunglasses like visor. The suit was primarily purple with black and there was silver arm, knee, and leg guards.
Sora immediately went into a series of punches each of which Xolicernic blocked but Sora quickly followed it up with a high kick to the older man/aliens chin before changing yet again.
This time Sora was outfitted in Crimson Red for the torso, arms, and boots. Bands of gold yellow went along the boots with similar colored shoulder and arm guards and on the chest was a symbol resembling a beetle and the helmet matched the theme with a gold beetle like horn sticking out of the helmet. Strapped to the back was a staff which Sora pulled and extended to full length and hit Xolicernic again.
Meanwhile Cassie and AV had changed yet again. AV changed into a blue ranger her helmet gaining a tail fin like visor with a crown like marking across the top of it as well as being a shade darker than the rest of her suit. The rest of the suit was a lighter color blue down to her hips and then a skirt went down just a bit below that. A belt with a M like belt buckle in the middle of it held it in place. Black with yellow trimmed line went down the sides of the suit and a black and yellow trimmed V like design went from the shoulders to the chest. The gloves and boots were the same shade blue as her helmet and a short cape of the same color was attached to her back. She held a wand like object in her hand.
Cassie on the other hand had turned into a pink ranger with a large 5 in black outlined with white going down the left side of her suit. Silver with black lined braces held in place the white gloves and pink boots a belt of similar coloring went across the waist and embedded on it was the letters S.P.D while the helmet was a solid pink with a curved almost U like visor and on the top of the helmet was a police badge with a dog symbol on it. She had a pistol like weapon in her hand.
Cassie fired off shots from the Delta Max Strike as AV made water come from the wand object which was slowly pushing back Blocker, but neither attack was doing any type of substantial damage to him.
Blocker laughed and pounds his large fists on the ground shaking the ground and the girls fall as well as Sora and Xolicernic who were in the general area.
The sound of three people screaming was heard as Alvin, Adam, and Leo were tossed into the area by an explosion of energy and powered down to their basic Lore Keeper suits.
The six teens regrouped the three guys getting up slowly as Sora backs off joining them.
Dracotaur huffed "Pathetic. You are still a thousand years to early to fight me rangers. You may have power but you can't use it at all. Pity you will be down to five if the witch's plan succeeds." He said as Abbinus appears the device on her arm and fully powered.
"It is done. Let's go." She says simply as they all vanish leaving the rangers confused and injured before they were teleported to The Great Library.
=LOREKEEPERS=
As Lurre healed up the unmorphed rangers they explained what happened and Lurre puts a hand to her chin in thought.
"Well whatever intentions Abbinus has planned she will make her move soon. Until then you must all rest." Lurre tells the rangers as they all get up.
"Thank you Lurre until then I guess we will just…" AV starts before gasping in pain falling to the ground clutching her chest where her heart would be.
Adam rushed over trying to support her "AV. AV are you okay?" Adam asked as a panicked looking Maya comes over to the group holding a red ranger book with a sun on the cover and AV's own ranger book.
"Lurre we got a serious problem." She says handing the Lore Keeper AV's ranger book which she opens revealing it to be blank.
"This is indeed a serious problem." Lurre says in agreement as the rangers including a pain stricken AV looked at her.
"Lurre what's going on, and how is it connected to another ranger book?" Sora asked worried as Adam helped AV up and supported her.
"It has everything to do with this book, and it explains why Abbinus was at the power plant." She says as she took the other book from Maya and went through it going to about halfway to which the book was as blank as AV's. Lurre read the previous entry her eyes widening.
"I must say there are times I hate it when I am right." She said and whispers something in Maya's ear which she nods and grabs a few tool about to work on something.
"Lurre please tell us what's going on." Cassie pleaded.
Lurre sighs "It appears that Abbinus has built a specific device. A Time Window." She tells them.
"I take it from the name it's something like a time machine? Except perhaps a bit more portable." Alvin infers to which she nods.
"Indeed it is. It is based upon a design that had brought a trio of rangers to the year 2025, but from the looks of it all the kinks were worked out and refined making time travel possible and safe." She says pacing now.
She stopped pacing "And she has given it a test run by going back in time, and killing a girl named Stella Scott." She tells them all the rangers mouths open at the thought of Abbinus killing someone and AV's eyes were wide threatening to tear up.
"Mom…she killed my mom…" AV's stutters Cassie and Leo comforting her when they all heard this.
"What's this have to do with the other ranger book Lurre?" Sora asked a bad feeling in his gut as Lurre hesitated.
"M-My mom was the Red Unity Force Ranger." AV spoke up Sora looking over.
"What? Wait so that means that…" Sora started as Lurre nods.
"While she did kill Stella Scott she has also cost Earth the battle against Queen Omitrix and her forces. With her death a chain reaction has begun. Look for yourselves." She says as she holds out AV's ranger book which was starting to become grey from the bottom and moving slowly up.
"Once the book loses its color Avalon will cease to exist and this timeline's altering will become the new permanent timeline." Lurre said and then waved her hand showing a picture of the outside world. Buildings had fallen and many humans were chained while a black ranger with a devil visor looked over them ordering them around.
"If this continues Diablo will most certainly be set free in the year 2025 and he and Queen Omitrix will fight for dominance of Earth which will inevitably lead to the destruction of the new timeline in the matter of years." Lurre said as the image vanished.
The others looked at each other unsure what to do about this as Maya returned a small device in her hands. It looked like a small phone charger without the cord or plug.
"It's done Lurre. Only needs to be tested now." Maya said to them as Lurre nods.
"Rangers what Maya has here might be our only saving grace. Utilizing the powers of the Time Force Rangers and the Quantum Ranger she has made a Time Window Adaptor or TWA for short." She tells them as Maya looks to Sora.
"Right now it is configured to only work with the Red Lore Morpher." She says as Sora takes the hint removing the morpher and handing it to Maya who quickly installed it and handed it back to Sora who strapped the morpher back on.
"I know we are asking much of you Sora. Do you think you can handle it?" Lurre asked as Sora looks to the others and AV. He was nervous and scarred about screwing up, but so was AV and it was about losing her family and herself.
"I promise you guys I will be back." He said and morphed into his Lore Keeper suit and activated the TWA inputting the coordinates as a large green square appeared.
"S-Sora before you g-go I should tell you that you might run into my mom and her friends. S-She doesn't wear sunglasses like me so she will be easy to pick out. P-Please keep my mom safe." AV said as Sora nods jumping through the portal.
Episode 8 is at its end and next chapter will be the end of the first arc. It has been a pretty great start so far, but there is more to come as the present visits the past in order to stop a catastrophe that will end the world. Until next time this has been Decode9.
