A few days had passed since Sora had gone back in time to prevent the death of Stella Scott saving AV and preserving the timeline from a worse fate. Yet Sora was far from happy he was still rather depressed coming into the school that day.
"Morning Sora. Any news yet?" Leo asked walking in with Sora.
Sora shook his head "Nothing. Dad hasn't called me, and I haven't heard anything from Uncle Andrew and his wife." Sora replied letting out a sigh.
Leo puts a hand on Sora's shoulder "Just relax Sora. I'm sure your mom is doing fine." He said silently adding 'I hope' in his thoughts.
"Yeah well…I can't just stand here!" Sora says a bit irritated and headed for the front door Leo following.
"Woah hold up there Sora! You know what Mrs. Steps will do if she finds out you left the school again." Leo said to Sora.
"Yeah I know. She'll call my dad and inform him of my behavior, and right now I don't really care." Sora replied sternly arms crossed and then lets out a sigh.
"Look I know you are trying to look out for me. Best friends tend to do that, but right now I have to get to the Meadowedge Hospital and see mom. I…I just want to be there for dad in case anything happens." Sora adds half lying.
Leo steps off to the side "Alright. Me and AV will handle things while your gone should anything come up." Leo said and Sora nods walking out the door and shortly after Leo heads to homeroom.

Maya appears in The Great Library hair looking a bit frazzled and she looked to be rather irritated to which Lurre noticed.
"I take it that you got what you needed yet it was difficult?" Lurre asked as Maya passes by her heading for an open laptop on the desk and beside it was all the rangers morphers. After the last battle she had decided it was time to give them an upgrade.
"You have no idea Lurre. In order to get the sufficient data and power I had to do some rather crazy stuff, and I have nearly gotten arrested several times within the last seventy-two hours." Maya replies typing away at the laptop codes passing by as she made up a new program and hit the 'ENTER' key for it to start and then turned to the morphers.
"Now I just have to work on upgrading these in order to handle the power boost. It might just give us the edge we will need for the upcoming battles." She says heading for a shelf and grabbing her tools Lurre joining her.
"Sounds like you are distracting your mind on this in order to not worry about something else. Or should I say someone else." Lurre states plainly and Maya blushes a deep shade of red.
"Nope. Just figured it's better to get this done and will likely get a chance to field test it soon." Maya replied quickly as Lurre chuckles.
"Does the person you are thinking about name start with a T?" She asked in a teasing tone of voice Maya glaring.
"Seriously Lurre? Can we please not talk about him right now?" Maya replied annoyed a bit at the Lore Keeper who chuckled in response.
"Well have the rangers bikes been at least fully prepared?" Lurre decides to ask when her chuckling had finally settled down enough.
Maya is quiet a couple seconds grabbing a rolled up schematic for the new morphers "Yes they should be ready soon. Whoever that Justin guy is I'm thankful he's doing it without asking many questions. He seems rather capable. If not perhaps a little crazy." Maya replies.
"Crazy. What do you mean by that?" Lurre asked.
"Well his car went off when I bumped into it and he started scolding it and calling it 'Lightning'." Maya replies continuing to work on the morphers.
=LOREKEEPERS=
The rangers had gathered together at lunch, and instantly they all had noticed the absence of their red leader. Leo lowered his voice and they huddled together as he explained what had happened earlier that morning. Each one was now wearing a similar version of Maya's communicator which would allow them to talk with Maya, Lurre, and each other when they are far off, and functions as a teleported to take them to The Great Library when needed.
"So until Sora gets back AV is in charge of the team." Leo whispered the others nodding including a reluctant AV.
"Aww how touching. The misfits are having a touching moment." Robyn says as the group breaks apart AV glaring at the girl annoyed at how the girl seems to pop up when they don't want her to.
"What do you want Robyn? And where's your lackey at?" Leo asked through gritted teeth annoyed at her.
Robyn just flicks her hair "If you're talking about Sara I dumped her like a hot potato. Anyways where the ringleader of your band of rejects?" she asks looking around for Sora a sly smirk on her face. It was almost like she knew something and was ready to pounce and take her chances with it.
"Guess Sara actually feels bad for what she's been doing." A couple of the rangers thought.
"Where Sora is is none of your business or concern." AV says as firm as she can.
Robyn huffs walking off "Well outside of the daily dose of annoyance we all shared how have things been for you guys so far?" Adam decides to ask the rest pretty much just shrug in response to the question.
The communicators beeped the five quickly answering them "Get the school's library. The 'project' is finished and waiting for you all." Maya's voice said in a whisper. The five nodded to one another and headed directly for the library very few students noticing or just ignored them leaving.
The group of five arrived at the library and Maya took notice of Sora missing, but said nothing already having an understanding of what likely happened and why he had likely left the school and where he went to.
"So why exactly did you need our morphers Miss Spears?" Cassie decided to ask as Maya put a metal case on the table.
"Because I hate to say it, but you're current level of power won't exactly be enough. I've drastically underestimated how powerful Diablo's forces are." Maya admits with a sigh.
"So in order to bring out the full potential I have spent these last few days searching for remnants of a special power. One that will give you guys an edge in the battles to come. Honestly I hate to admit it, but we've been getting plain lucky. These first few monsters were sent to test you all." She adds the rangers silent and a bit shocked.
"W-What? Wait so you mean to say those monsters may or may not have gotten destroyed on purpose so Diablo could test our limits?!" Adam exclaimed and Maya shushes him and nods.
Adam pales "We're screwed." He says and receives a slap to the back of the head from Cassie.
"Language Adam. There is still a younger child around here." She tells him and Maya shakes her head and opens the case she had brought in with her.
"These…are the V2 Lore Morphers." Maya says as the group looks at the morphers. Each one looked like a form fitting metal arm brace and on top of it was a watch like dial and screen and beside it was a 4 digit key pad and one each was a button of their respective color. They were colored Crimson Red, Navy Blue, Electric Yellow, Emerald Green, Metallic Black, Magenta Pink. Marked on the bottom section was the teams emblem of a quill (gold on Red, Blue, and Pink and silver on Yellow, Green, and Black). Gold trimmed the sides of the Red, Blue, and Pink morphers while silver trimmed the sides of the Yellow, Green, and Black morphers.
"Now I should tell you that these ones are different from your old ones with the exception of a com being installed in these as well and a monster alert system. When you strap these on you will feel a surge of power. That will be the morpher synching up with you." Maya began to explain.
"Which means what exactly?" Adam replies.
"It means that the morpher will be for you and you alone. Meaning that even if someone else gets a hold of it they can't use it since it won't synch with them." Maya explains.
"Now on to the dial pad. Tapping one will summon your personal weapon even if you're not morphed for battle. Tapping two summons the Tale Cycles to your location. Tapping three will summon the zords. Finally four will initiate the program for making the Tales Megazord if the zords are summoned." She explained each ranger nodding.
"What about this?" Cassie asked indicating the colored button on one of the morphers.
"That…is something special, and is meant to only be used when you are morphed, and is actually the primary reason the morphers had to undergo the redesign." Maya replies and coughs.
"Anyways when you synch up with the morphers they can still be activated the same way, but if you want to change into another ranger all you need to do is think of it and the image will appear on the dials screen allowing you to change quicker." Maya continues as she grabs the morphers and hands them out to each person there.
"Now one last thing. Your basic forms are now equipped with a brand new weapon called the B-Bracer. It is weaker than your personal weapons, but they pack a punch and each one is equipped with a shield." She told them.
The five nod taking in this information each one putting on the morpher and the second they did streams of multiple colors of energy came from the morpher seeming to connect to the rangers and bond with them seconds later disappearing.
"W-Woah. Now that was a rush." Alvin says the others nodding in agreement at the rush of power that had just gone through each of them.
"Hmm…Is there anything I'm forgetting?" Maya thought rubbing her chin, but her thoughts were cut as the morphers sounded off a small map coming up on the pad showing that a monster had shown up, and from the signal it was giving off it was a rather strong one.
"You all go ahead and go. Don't worry about things here." Maya said the rangers nodding and headed out the back part of the library Maya watching.

After many transfers and having nearly gotten kicked off a few times Sora came off his sixth bus of the day arriving back in Meadowedge, California.
"Home. Didn't think I would come back here under these circumstances." Sora thought as he walked around the town headed for the hospital his mom was at.
As Sora walked he saw many familiar sights including Meadowedge Elementary-Middle School which brought back a lot of memories good and bad and couldn't help but smile before walking onwards.
Sora eventually came to a sight he didn't want to see, but had to pass by it to get to the hospital. It was a heavily burnt home alongside some other lesser burn home. It meant much to Sora because it was his family's old home.
Sora let out a sigh at the sight "Sora? Sora Daniels is that you?" A female voice called out spooking Sora who turned to face the voice. Its owner was a petite caucasian girl who was skinny but had an athletic build and she appeared around Sora's age. She had long blond hair and blue wearing a pink top that had a butterfly design on it, black jeans that had a chain attached to the left pocket, and pink sandals.
Sora relaxes recognizing the person "Hi Claire. Been a while huh?" Sora asked as the girl identified as Claire who smiled brightly walking up to Sora and hugs him.
"Yeah it has. You know ever since the fire years ago and all." Claire said as Sora flinched at the mention of the fire.
"So what you doing in town?" She asked as Sora kicks at the ground.
"It's my mom. She's kind of…in the hospital." Sora says sadly and Claire gasps.
"Oh my! Well come on then! We should get there as quick as possible!" Claire said grabbing Sora by the shirt.
"W-Wait Claire!" Sora said just before he was dragged and had to run to keep up with his friend so he wouldn't fall to the ground.
"Well at least she is as energetic as always." Sora thought giving a small laugh.
A couple minutes passed and soon enough they were in front of the hospital thanks to an old shortcut Claire and Sora knew about. Sora hesitated going in thinking back on what was said.
"Well what you waiting for? Go on in." Claire encouraged pushing Sora forward towards the entrance.
He glares at her for pushing him forward, but then shakes his head smiling at his old friend. She always had this way of cheering people up when they seemed out of it. Taking in a breath he walked on in Claire following closely behind.
=LOREKEEPERS=
The group arrived on the scene and it was empty. There was no one there, and there appeared to be no monsters what so ever. There wasn't even any signs of the foot soldiers.
Adam was the first to notice this "You think they got the memo we were coming and decided to high tail it out of here?" He suggested.
It was then that the necklace around AV's neck began to flash as if signaling something evil was making its presence known. The rangers didn't have time to react to this or Adam's question as a blade of energy hit them all knocking them to the ground.
The group pushed themselves up and they noticed a shadow coming out of the alleyway. It was a cloaked figure, and outside the grey hand that was grasping a midnight black blade no features could be made out.
"I take it you children are the rangers?" An older man's voice said. The voice gave off a tone of wisdom and intimidation making each ranger hesitate to get up.
"Y-Yeah. What's it to yah pal?" Leo asked being the first to get up and recover his resolve the others quickly following.
The cloaked figure scoffs looking off to the side "Pity. I was expecting more from Lurre. Then again that girl is to sentimental for her own good." He said the rangers lining up ready nodding to each other holding up there morphers the dial showing their basic suit.
"Unlock The Legend!" They all called out spinning the dial. The guys were wrapped in their own color and silver while the girls were wrapped in their own color and gold.
-Morphing Sequence V2-
Each ranger stood in a vault like area surrounded by images of past rangers as white energy covered each of the rangers and then fades away revealing a skin tight white spandex suit. Bands of their own color wrapped around the feet revealing boots of their color and a quill emblemized in gold on the sides or the boots and on top of the hands with gold bands around both the gloves and boots for the girls while it was the same with the guys there's was in silver. Bands of light wrapped around the chest forming a sleeveless half robe of their color edged with gold for the girls and silver for the guys as energy of their own color wrapped around there head forming the helmet which hadn't changed at all from the original. Finally bands of gold and silver wrapped around both of the rangers hands forming a set of metal gloves that went up to end of the gloves for the guys and up to the shoulders for the girls a small oval shield appearing on the arm opposite the morphers.
-End Morphing Sequence-
"Legacy of the Blue. Lore Keeper Blue Ranger!"
"Legacy of the Yellow! Lore Keeper Yellow Ranger!"
"Legacy of the Green. Lore Keeper Green Ranger!"
"Legacy of the Black! Lore Keeper Black Ranger!"
"Legacy of the Pink! Lore Keeper Pink Ranger!"
All five rangers stood together and ran at the mysterious figure Leo was the first to get there and attempted to punch the figure who side steps out of the way and knocks Leo away with a swing from his sword.
Leo staggers back to the others all them stopping "This guy. Whoever he is…he's good." Leo states
The figure seems to laugh "You still don't know who you're up against do you?" he says.
"Rangers get out of there!" Lurre's voice called out in a panic over the communicator.
"Huh? Why Lurre? It's just some creep in a cloak." Cassie said into her comm.
"No it's not. That's HIM rangers." Lurre says emphasizing the threat that they were up against.
Adam looks over to the figure "Wait. So the big bad Diablo is an old man in a cloak?" he asked and then breaks into a laugh.
The other four look at one another and nod getting Adam's attention "From how Maya put it this is meant to be our trump card. Time to put it to the test!" AV said each ranger nodding and pressing the button
"BATTLE LEGACY, UPLOAD!" The morpher sounded off streams of multi-colored energy surrounding them gold and silver primarily taking over all the other colors.
-Battle Legacy Morphing Sequence-
A gold lion made of pure energy pounced at Cassie, but before it hit it breaks apart some energy forming into forming fitting lightweight gold armor with a pink gem embedded into it as small metal gold eagle wings appeared on the back side of the armor trimmed on the inside with pink. Gold boots took place of her normal ones and large pink lines went down the boots and B-Bracers as shoulder guards in the form of a lion appeared on her shoulders fusing with the B-Bracers and the shield disappeared.
A silver wind blew wrapping around Adam and hardens around the chest and shoulders as a small silver chest plate and flat shoulder guards formed as pure black glider wings attached to the back of the armor as black and silver pads went down the legs. The B-Bracers extended fusing with the shoulder guards the shield vanishing.
A silver T-Rex made of energy and let out a roar before it collided with Alvin. After it hit silver stuck the sides of the helmets visor blue diamond's trimmed with silver went down the sides of the suit. The B-Braces extended fusing with a set of triangular shoulder guards a slimmed down chest green chest plate forming on the chest and the shield changing and becoming larger resembling a T-Rex footprint.
The silver energy around Leo formed into a large anchor. The triangular middle section disconnected and formed into armor that went to the middle of his chest the sides of the top coming apart and form into large shoulder guards at the same time the B-Bracers extended fusing with the shoulder guards as the last section of the achor formed into armored boots and the shield disappeared.
A gold energy dragon wrapped around AV and when it vanished her new form was revealed. The B-Bracers were fused to a set of gold oval shoulder guards the shield vanishing. Black markings went down the sides of her chest to the suit. Finally her visor was a single angular V that had small points sticking inside it while on its sides a gold curved horn stuck out from each side and a single larger curved horn stuck out from the top.
-End Morphing Sequence-
Each ranger stood in their new form ready to battle against Diablo who gained a bit of interest in the change of form.
Each ranger hit the button summoning their personal weapon, each one having changed for this form. Cassie's sia's became longer and appeared to be sharper than they had been, Adam's hammer became smaller and a second one was gained, Alvin's axe became more of a large tomahawk, Leo's katana blade extended and curved becoming more like a scimitar, Finally AV's blasters had fused into a single double barrel blaster she had to use both hands to hold.
Diablo pointed his blade at the rangers challenging the five rangers to battle. Leo was the first to go rushing at Diablo both blades clashing. As they exchanged blows Leo got in as close as possible and hit Diablo making him stagger. Leo tapped the button making his weapon disappear and went in close to Diablo going into a quick series of punches and kicks ending with a roundhouse staggering Diablo.
During this AV was charging her blaster and pointing it in the general direction of the battle, and when Diablo staggered back from Leo she fired of a large burst of energy which hits Diablo causing a small explosion that threw both him and Leo back.
"Whoops. Guess I underestimated how powerful this thing is." AV says to herself.
A large tomahawk flew at Diablo and he narrowly dodged, but like a boomerang the tomahawk went back to its source as Alvin caught it and swung down at Diablo who blocked it leaving himself open to the two rangers who are airborne.
Cassie and Adam flew from above Adam twirling his hammers as both their weapons gain aura of their respective colors and struck at Diablo. The combined attacks were strong enough to tear apart the cloak revealing Diablo's appearance.
Diablo had deep grey armor like skin accents of red on the arms, feet, and pitch black eyes. Navy blue metal like 'hair' stuck straight up and out of the back of the head a sword sheath on his side. A red orb was in the middle of his chest and it seemed to beat like that of a human heart.
"Okay…when Lurre said you were bound to bone I was thinking something else." Adam said as he and Cassie landed near the rest of the group.
"Oh I was black ranger, but after I became freed I had time to build something to suit my needs." Diablo replies.
Leo scoffs "So pretty much that hunk of metal is hiding the skeleton that you are basically." He says.
"You could say that." Diablo said and lunges at the rangers Alvin getting in front of them using the large tomahawk to block the attack, but at last second Diablo jumped and came down on the closest ranger which happened to be Leo. His strike knocked the ranger back.
"Okay I'm fed up with this! Time for something else!" Leo howls the others nodding and think of another ranger, but nothing appeared on the dial confusing them.
"What the?" Leo and a few of the other rangers said before they were hit by another energy blade attack from Diablo and were knocked completely out of there morphs.
Diablo walked closer to them and put the blade to where Leo's heart would be "Let this be a lesson rangers. From here on out the kid gloves come off as they say." He says pressing the blade a bit forward, but not enough to break the skin.
"It took any army of rangers to stop me from emerging two years ago. You five have nothing." Diablo says and the eyes seem to grow a light grey.
"Oh perhaps I should you four have nothing." Diablo corrects himself about to thrust the sword forward, but as he was about to the blade was knocked off by another blade.
The rangers and Diablo turn to the blades owner and was surprised as it was another ranger. She wore a black tight spandex suit with red knight like armor on her chest, legs, and arms her helmet have a knight like style to it even the visor and a red skirt with a medieval symbol was on it. In her hand was a knights sword a glyph on the bottom of it.
"Back off the rangers Diablo." The female ranger spoke disguising her voice as Leo scrambles back to the others.
Diablo snarled "I thought all the other rangers were gone. That should include Mystic Knight Red." He hissed.
The female puts a hand on her hip "Yes the male Mystic Knight Red is gone, but he was the second red for that team. I was the first." She said and both hands on the sword she charges at Diablo who raises his sword to block.
The female red looked at the rangers "I suggest retreating. I can handle this." She said and the rangers get up using the V2LM to teleport back to The Great Library.
After they left Diablo managed to counter and land a blow on the female reds right arm to which she grips it as it began to bleed, but before he could do anything she teleported off as well.
Diablo sheathed his sword and vanished simply.
=LOREKEEPERS=
After the rangers appeared in The Great Library they went to look for Maya and to ask about what had happened with the morphers during the battle with Diablo. They found her looking at a set of ranger book each one having a sword on their cover. She closes one hearing the rangers coming and was now wearing a long sleeve red turtleneck.
"Why couldn't we turn into other rangers? You said all we had to do was think of one and it would appear on the dial!" Leo said annoyed and Maya puts up a hand to signal him to calm down.
"Now I know I didn't mention this before, but that was because I didn't figure it out till after you all left to fight Diablo." Maya says and sighs.
"When you engage the Battle Legacy you can't change into other rangers. You would have to cancel it in order to perform a change." She tells them gripping her right shoulder.
AV nods "I guess we should have thought of that." She admits Cassie nodding in agreement.
"I'm just glad that other ranger showed up today. Otherwise we might have lost Leo." Cassie said and hugs Leo who blushes at the attention he was getting.
Alvin rubs his chin "That is actually a bit concerning. After all didn't you tell us all the ranger teams lost their ability to morph after the True Legend War?" he asks turning to Maya who nods.
"That is true, but maybe there are some who didn't participate in the battle and are still out there." Maya said rather quickly.
"She might be right. Though I've seen the mystic knight ranger books and there isn't a second red book." AV said puzzled having looked over all the books and only seen a single red mystic knight book and from how the person was described the person was a guy and not a girl.
Maya shakes her head "Right now you shouldn't concern yourselves with that. I suggest you all head home before your parents or guardians get worried about you." Maya says as the ranger reluctantly teleport out.
Maya let out a sigh and takes her hand off of her shoulder her hand covered in blood "Ugh great. This was my favorite shirt to." Maya said as Lurre comes into the area with bandages and gauze.
=LOREKEEPERS=
Claire, Sora, and Mr. Daniels were all sharing good laugh in the hospital as they waited to be allowed to see Mrs. Daniels who had managed to pull through her surgery and was now being looked over by doctors.
"I had kind of forgotten we did that when we were younger Claire." Sora says wiping away some tears that had formed from laughing to hard it was then that both noticed a slightly burned thick album by Mr. Daniels side.
He took note of their looks and picks it up "This is what your mom was coming after Sora. A close family friend managed to recover it and get it restored." He said handing it to Sora who opens it eyes going wide. It was a photo album of their times there in Meadowedge.
Sora looked through it flipping backwards to the first set of photos. It was a picture of a couple kids playing, but up front primarily was a younger Claire and another girl chasing her. Chasing after her was a young girl with back length jet black hair that was kept in a ponytail and chocolate brown eyes wearing a white top with a short red skirt and shoes an arrowhead necklace around her neck.
"Wow. Been a while since I've seen these. Sure brings back memories." Sora said with a chuckle.
"Yeah. That's back when you actually looked like a…" Claire starts.
"Claire…" Sora warned sending her a glare to stop her from finishing.
"Oh come on. You and me both know it's true." Claire teased elbowing Sora who just rolls his eyes.
"Perhaps." Sora said as a doctor came out and called for the family and Claire left the hospital to give Sora and Mr. Daniels time alone.
And that concludes Episode 10 along with the first episode of the second arc. Now I know it was annocuced so I might as well say it anyways; the next official season of Power Rangers is called Power Rangers Ninja Steel...*sigh*. Okay I have to say this. I'm a fan of both Super Sentai and Power Rangers. So just one question Saban; Why the **** are you skipping again? Seriously first Go-Buster and now ToQuer! Anyways that aside what do you all think of the new sub weapon and power up for the Lore Keepers? Oh and don't worry Sora will be showing up for a few episodes in this arc, but he will mainly be absent since is dealing with the family situation mentioned in this chapter. Oh and the character Claire Alexander belongs to dsjoshua1 not me. So until next time folks this has been decode9!
