It was the day after the fight with Diablo and all the rangers except Sora were at school hanging out near the yellow rangers locker talking on a phone to Sora telling what had happened.
"I should have been there with you guys. Sorry about bailing." Sora says to them over the phone which was on speaker.
"It's no problem. We got to test the new toy, but against Diablo I think it could have gone better." Adam said.
"That's fine and all, but we got a bigger problem." Cassie says grimly the others a bit confused.
"And what would that be?" Leo asked and Cassie lets out a sigh.
"Seriously guys? You don't recall that it's that time of year for English again? The group project that is worth about half our grade." She says most of the guys except for Alvin paling a bit and AV looked at them unsure what to say.
"I can see you don't understand AV. You see every year around this time Miss Hall gives out a group assignment. It has varied over the years, but it has always been worth about half our semester grade. She groups four to five people together and the groups have two weeks to work on it." Alvin explained as Leo was gripping his hair.
"Normally that wouldn't be a problem, but we already got enough on our plate already." He said as Adam had his head flat on a nearby locker.
"No joke. Sometimes I wonder if we are cursed." Adam groans as Sora chuckles on his end.
"I don't think so pal. Guess we just got to go with the punches." Sora said to them all the bell then ringing signaling them to get off the phone and head for homeroom which went by as normal for the rangers and then after a few classes together the older ranger went toward English while the youngest was headed for Phys Ed.
Miss Hall was a young woman with a slender body and appearance usually wearing some casual clothes and wore her hair in a simple style with wire frame glasses around her face, but her face seemed to be permanently stuck on a stare with a permanent frown to make.
"Okay students now listen up. The end of the year is approaching meaning the end of the semester along with finals for all of you. Like I have before your final is a group project of my choosing, and with the increasing violence and ranger activity I have picked out something special for the occasion." Miss Hall says looking over every student.
"I want each group that I assign to pick out an incident on the list I have provided and research it. I then want you to present ways that the incident could have been prevented or stopped before they could have occurred. If you are able to find people who were involved in the incident you may interview them to get their thoughts on the subject." She states as all the students began to talk in whispers.
"Quiet! Now on to your groups…" Miss Hall yells and began to name off people's names.
"And the final group will be Cassandra StClare, Leo Balgriff, Adam Cots, and Alvin Gregory." She finally calls out. The four get together each one letting out a sigh.
"Well that was a rather lucky break." Adam says as they all approach the board looking it over.
"Hmm…Mothers Attack in Reefside looks interesting." Leo said spotting one.
"There something here about a shooting at a school in Norland." Cassie notes.
"Teenager Kidnapped in Reefside. I wonder how that person is doing." Alvin says a bit worried noticing a trend in all the articles.
"ULHS Disaster." Adam reports trying to figure out the name of the school that was mentioned in the list.
Leo looked again a particular headline catching his attention "Unity Lakes High School Student Kidnapper Found."
"Sounds like something to check out. Besides most of those others except the two Unity Lakes incidents were taken."
"Uhh…I don't see two Unity Lakes incidents." Adam says as Cassie rolls her eyes.
"That Disaster you were talking about took place at Unity Lakes High School." She replied.
"Then why don't we just cover both? That way we have something else in case we can't get the first one done quick enough." Leo suggested with a shrug the others nodding or shrugging in agreement and headed off for the Library to do some research about both incidents in Unity Lakes.
Cassie typed away at a computer in the library and found the article which had a full colored picture of a battered and bruised high school senior on it.
"Hey isn't that?" Adam asked as Leo nods recognizing the girl in the picture.
"Can't say if it's a good thing that we can talk to her or a bad thing that we can." Cassie said a bit nervous at the person that was on the picture.
=LOREKEEPERS=
That afternoon after school had been released for the day the five had gone off towards someone's home while AV had decided to test out the new bikes that Maya had someone build for any kind of bugs.
"Are you sure we should all talk to her? Four people asking her questions at once might be a bit overwhelming." Cassie asked as they all looked at the home they arrived at which was the Winchester home.
"Hey we all know that if one of us go then likely the rest will find some excuse to leave." Adam said.
Alvin walks up to the door and knocks seconds later Mrs. Winchester opened the door "Oh hello. I'm sorry, but Avalon isn't here." She says recognizing her daughters friends.
"Actually Mrs. Winchester we aren't here to see here. We actually came here to see you." Adam said to her.
"Really? What is it that you want to talk to me about?" She asked her eyes a bright orange.
Nervously Leo brought out the print out of the article they had found and handed it to her. When she took it and saw the article was she remained silent.
"I-It's for a project. We actually weren't sure about asking you, but we came here anyways." Alvin said as Mrs. Winchester nods and waves her hand inviting them inside.
When they got in each of the five took a seat Mrs. Winchester asking them if they wanted any drinks and then headed off to go and get the drinks for them.
"Again I'm not sure we should be doing this. It could bring up some bad memories for her." Cassie said concerned.
"I understand what you mean, but we would be talking to her either way. AV's mom was also involved in the incident at the school years ago." Leo replied.
"Point taken." Adam says as Mrs. Winchester came back into the room with their drinks and gave them to each one.
"Are you sure it's no bother Mrs. Winchester?" Cassie asked as she nods.
"It is no problem. Now to start it was a few years after the Unity Force rangers had saved the world from Queen Omitrix." She started.
=LOREKEEPERS=
It was now the senior year for many who were attending Unity Lakes and walking out was a group of 7 young adults and one graduate. Leading the group was Stella Scott. She had let her hair grow out and was wearing a red top with jeans and shoes and around her neck was a red sun necklace.
Standing right next to her was her boyfriend Mike. He has shaggy brown hair and brown eyes with a Caucasian skin tone and muscular body type. He wears a black and white plaid shirt a white t-shirt underneath it and blue jeans with black converse shoes and around his neck was a white cross necklace.
Standing next to him was girl a with back length black hair a small bit of it covered an eye and light brown eyes with a peach like skin tone. She wore a green hoodie blue jeans and white shoes with a jeweled leaf necklace around her neck. Her name is Elizabeth 'Eliza' Jameson.
Standing to the other side was a girl with an athletic yet lean build. She has shoulder length brown hair with dyed pink tips and hazel eyes that were almost almond like shaped giving her a puppy eyed look and pale olive toned like skin. She wore a pink halter top with denim skinny jeans and pink converse shoes wearing a pink wind symbol like necklace around her neck. She is named Dove Stanley.
To Dove's side was a young man of rather tall stature and a large frame and appeared to be of Indian descent. He has dirty blond hair and brown eyes wearing a plaid yellow shirt with blue jeans and shoes wearing necklace that looked like electrical spark. He is Rupert Fry, but it is known that all of his friends call him Fry.
Standing behind the four was a young man with shaggy brown hair and blue eyes and has tanned skin. He wore a blue, white, and grey striped tank top with tan cargo shorts and blue sneakers wearing a blue wave like necklace. He is Justin Johnson.
Standing to Justin's left was a young man a few years older than them that looked like similar to Eliza wearing indigo wearing a necklace that looked like a rock. He is David Jameson and is Eliza's older brother as well as a graduate.
Standing close to Justin and holding his hand was the last young woman of the group of 8. She was rather petite and has shoulder length blond hair and blue eyes. She wore a purple sleeveless top with a black skirt that had purple trimming and black shoes and around her neck was a purple snowflake necklace. She is Espella McKnight.
The eight were all together enjoying each other company after another long, tiring, uneventful, and rather boring day at school yet again.
"So are you and Mike going to meet me and Justin for our double date?" Espella asked as the group walked off the school grounds.
"Yes we will Espella. I haven't lied to you yet have I?" Stella asked and Espella shakes her head no and Stella's eyes turn a bright orange.
While the two girls were talking Mike was frowning which Eliza took notice of "Is something the matter Mike?" she asked.
"Kind of." Mike replied
"Mike you shouldn't hide anything from us. Remember what happened when Stella refused to tell us about what happened when…you-know-who did you-know-what to her." Eliza replied as Mike sighs nodding
"Yeah I know. It's just well…Abby has been trying again." Mike said a bit too loud as the entire group heard him.
"Ugh…when will that girl ever learn?" Dove said arms crossed.
"I'm actually surprised she was let back into the school after what happened back then." Justin commented
Stella shakes her head at them "Everything is alright. She hasn't threatened or done anything to me since then and since she has returned. She's actually been rather nice." She tells them.
"That or she's a good actor. Just waiting for a chance to stab you in the back and ruin your's and Mike's relationship." David said as Espella flinches.
"Or maybe we are all just judging her from one bad experience. We have been wrong before." Fry cut in to calm things and ease the building tension within the group.
The group went quiet letting things calm down "Okay. It's just I'm worried that she might getting a bit obsessed with me is all and will try something like she had before. I just don't want Stella getting hurt." Mike said to them all.
"No problem dude. We'll just keep on the watch for her." Justin said and was nudged by Espella.
"Now if you excuse us we have to prepare for tonight. See you two later." Espella said as she and Justin walked off.
David put a hand on Mike's shoulder "Don't worry Mike. Everything's going to be fine." He said and they each walk off headed towards home.
As they walked off none of them noticed a greasy black haired freckled girl with green eyes wearing glasses and a large black turtleneck t shirt and jeans watching them. She is Abby Jones.
"You will be mine Mike Winchester. This time Mr. Scott won't stop me." Abby said.
=LOREKEEPERS=
"I hate to interrupt, but who is Abby Jones? Was she the one who took you, and what did she do before?" Cassie interjects.
"She was a student at the school, and a few years prior to my senior year she tried to stab me. My father and husband stopped her back then." Mrs. Winchester replied.
"Ohh…uhh go ahead then." Cassie said rubbing the back of her head and Mrs. Winchester nods continuing on where she had left off.
=LOREKEEPERS=
Stella was at her house picking out an outfit what to wear for the double date with her, Mike, Espella, and Justin. Her phone then vibrated signaling that she got a text from someone.
Stella took a look and saw that it was from Mike and it read 'MEET ME AT THE SCHOOL. WE NEED TO TALK'. Stella was unsure what to say to say about Mike's message, but knew that he wouldn't text her if it wasn't urgent so after changing into another outfit she left and headed for the school.
When she arrived she looked around for her boyfriend "Mike! Mike are you here?" she yelled trying to get her attention, but had failed to notice a particular young woman approaching from behind with a crowbar.
Stella grasped her necklace, and when the young woman got close the necklace flashed which Stella noticed. Yet she didn't have time enough to move and was knocked out cold when the crowbar hit her head. The one that hit her chuckled and began to drag Stella away taking her to a car and driving off from the school.
=LOREKEEPERS=
"Ugh. The more I hear about this Abby Jones the more I hate her." Leo huffs the others shaking their heads
"I haven't said the one that hit me was Abby, but then again no one else at the time had any kind of grudge with me." Mrs. Winchester said simply.
"I don't mean to be rude, but it seemed like you were perhaps a bit too naïve about the situation when you were younger." Alvin stated calmly.
"Perhaps I was, but again it is just how I am even today. You must never judge someone by their appearance." She replied.
The group nods "Anyways can we keep going? What happened after you were attacked?" Adam asked.
"This next part was told to me by my friend Espella. She, Justin, and Mike were waiting for me." She said ready to continue on with her story.
=LOREKEEPERS=
A couple hours had passed and Espella, Justin, and Mike were at a restaurant waiting for Stella to show up. The guys were wearing a bit more formal attire and Espella herself was wearing a simple purple dress and had dyed her hair purple.
"Stella should have been here by now. Where exactly is she?" Espella asked wondering what was taking her.
Justin put a hand on his girlfriend's shoulder "It's okay Espella. She's just a little late that's all." He tells her. Espella sighs and nods. It was then that David came running in.
"Guys…problem…Stella…kidnapped…" he managed to say between breaths the three going wide eyed.
"David what happened?" Mike asked as they head to him.
"I had decided to go for a bit of walk tonight, and when I passed the school I saw someone putting Stella into the back of a car and drive off. They were too fast…I couldn't follow them, and I couldn't see who they were." David said Espella taking out her phone and calling Stella's dad Jason Lee Scott.
"Mr. Scott we have a problem. Stella's been kidnapped. We're going to need to use the emergency signal." Espella told him and Jason replies telling her and the rest to contact other specific ranger teams.
"Okay Mr. Scott. We will call them." Espella said hanging up.
"Mr. Scott wants us to call the others and then get in contact with the other ranger teams we know." She tells them.
"I'll call the others. You three call the teams in Reefside, Clover Hill, Warrior Heights, Indian Creek, and try to get in touch with Zara in Meadowedge." David said as he and the rest of the group took out there phones and begin to make calls to various people.
Meanwhile at the edge of Meadowedge Abby had taken Stella to the family's vacation home and inside it to where she tied Stella up and threw arms behind her back and feet tied together. Stella's eyes finally opened.
"Well well well. Looks who's finally awake." Abby said when Stella woke her arms crossed and a smirk on her face.
"Abby? Why are you doing this?" Stella asked as she looked around.
"To get you out of the way of course. It's what's best for my Michael after all." Abby says getting in Stella's face.
"What do you mean 'your' Michael? Mike is my boyfriend." Stella replied struggling.
Abby shakes her head "Oh you poor dear. Mike doesn't love you. He's only dating you out of pity for your strange eye defect." She sneers and takes out a phone showing a picture of herself and Mike kissing.
"He's been seeing me behind your back. Now with you go he will be seeing me a lot more!" she continues and laughs walking off leaving Stella who was tearing up her eyes were a dark orange, but she wasn't sure what Abby was lying about.
Meanwhile the entire group had gotten together after David had called them including Stella's twin sisters Luna and Ester who were in gold and silver respectively.
"We've searched everywhere. There is no sign of her." Eliza said exhausted.
"It's getting late everyone. It's best if we get some rest and pick this up in the morning." Justin tells everyone.
"But Stella is still out there Justin!" Mike said in a panic.
Fry puts a hand on his shoulder "We aren't going to get anywhere if we are too tired to do anything Mike. We got everyone we know on it." He tells him and Mike sighs in defeat knowing that they were telling the truth and they all split up headed for home.
A week passed and there was no sign of Stella. Mike had begun to become rather depressed and angry at himself for not being able to protect her. They had heard back from almost everyone except Meadowedge as Zane and his team were doing everything to find Stella.
"Who would be so cruel as to kidnap Stella?" Dove said as the seven sat together at lunch that day.
"No one's been able to pin anyone to this, but we know Stella better than anyone. Is there anyone that we're not thinking of?" Fry asked.
It was then that Abby came walking in humming to herself happily as she approached the groups table and sat down in Stella's seat "Hello. Don't mind if I sit here?" she asked.
All seven went quiet not wanting to talk to her "So you all still worried about your friend Stella? You know she's probably dead by now right? It has been a week and all." Abby said as Fry gets up.
"Listen here Abby we don't know that for sure. For all we know Stella is alive and being tortured by whoever took her." Fry said as Abby smirks.
"Well doesn't that make you sound suspicious Rupert. You wouldn't happen to know something would you?" Abby insinuated Justin glaring.
"Oh no you don't. Fry is a good friend to Stella and he wouldn't do anything to her." Justin counters.
Abby huffs "Well I'm not here to talk to all of you. I just came here to see Michael." She says smiling seductively at Mike.
Mike rolls his eyes "No I won't go out with you Abby. I'm already in a relationship with Stella." He tells Abby who gets up.
"That is true, but again what I said might be true as well. Wouldn't she want you to move on?" Abby asked kissing Mike on the cheek before leaving.
Espella glares "The nerve of that girl. Hasn't she learned her lesson yet? You think she would after she tried to stab Stella a few years ago." She said the groups attention going to her at what she said.
"Hold on. When she tried to go after Stella she said it was to try and get us together." Mike recalled
"So you think that she could have?" Eliza asked
"You know I actually wouldn't put it past her to do something like that." Justin replied.
"Yeah. She would kill two birds with one stone." Fry added on.
"She would get rid of Stella, and she would get herself together with you Mike." Dove said. Mike pulled out his phone and sent a text to the group in Meadowedge sending a picture of Abby with the text.
=LOREKEEPERS=
"It sounds like you have a lot of friends in different towns Mrs. Winchester." Cassie says to which she nods to.
"Indeed I do. I actually know more people than that." She replies throughout the story she had been avoiding to talk about any kind of ranger details.
"Well they obviously found you. Otherwise you wouldn't be here today." Adam said.
"My friends in Meadowedge did indeed find me, but I nearly didn't make it even when they did find me." Mrs. Winchester told them.
=LOREKEEPERS=
In Meadowedge Zane Daniels and the rest of the former Element Fusion team were together searching for Stella.
"Any luck?" Zane asked as Carson shakes his head.
"None. We just about searched this place top to bottom Zane." Tia said.
"And we haven't heard anything back from Alex." Liz added.
"Well he is searching the edge of town. It will take him a while even with his earth powers." Tim reminded them.
"Well this sucks." Carson grumbles.
It was then that Rena's phone rang and she picked up "Yes Alex. Okay we'll be there soon." Rena said hanging up.
"I'm guessing he found Stella?" Zara asked.
"Alex think he's found Stella, but there is someone else with her. From how he described the person he saw it's that Abby we were warned about. He's waiting for us near the edge of town." She tells them.
The veteran rangers head for their cars Zane, Carson, and Tim riding together in one and Rena, Liz, Tia, and Zara in another as they headed off for where Alex was.
They parked a little bit away and walked to where Alex was and saw the old log house "So what exactly have you seen Alex?" Zane asked.
"I saw that Abby girl. She arrived a few minutes ago, and using my power I know that someone else is inside. They haven't moved a muscle and it seems the person seems to be tied up." Alex told them.
"Well then let's go get her!" Carson said simply.
"Normally I'd say that would be risky, but simplicity is best for this. Just in case let's call the police." Rena said taking out her phone and calling the police a couple minutes later hanging up.
Zane busted down the door and to the sight of the group Abby was standing over Stella a knife in hand, and Stella didn't look any better as she had stab marks all around her body and was bleeding from them.
"What the…" Abby started, but didn't get to finish as she was tackled to the ground by Zara.
"Let me go! I have to end her! Let me go!" Abby struggled as police sirens are heard and officers came running in along with the rest of the unity force team Zane having texted them the address.
The officers cuffed Abby who was now a complete mess. Blood was spattered on her cloths and skin and her hair was messy.
"This is her fault! This is all that stupid Scott's fault! I'm good with faces. I will get you all one day!" She yells hysterical glaring at Stella in particular who was only half awake.
"I swear Stella Scott it is not over between us! One day I will have Mike and you will be nothing! All that you love will be mine!" she yells as she was shoved into a the police car an ambulance arriving to take Stella to the hospital and had undergone surgery.
=LOREKEEPERS=
"After that I didn't hear from her again. Well I couldn't actually. She was declared legally insane and sent to a psychiatric hospital." Mrs. Winchester finished the four having become quiet near the end of the story.
"Guess it was lucky that this Alex guy managed to find you and tell his friends." Leo said after a couple seconds of silence.
Cassie rubbed her chin "Just wondering, but do you happen to have a picture of this Abby? You know for our project." She asked as the older woman nods going to a shelf and pulling out a yearbook turning to a certain page.
"Here she is. That's Abby Jones." She said the four going completely silent.
"No way. That's that's…Abbinus." They all thought recognizing the human form of Abbinus which they had seen before.
"Things just got complicated." Adam thought. They cut out the picture and left deciding to tell AV tomorrow and call Sora as well to inform him.
And that is the end of Episode 11. Okay I might as well mention that the ranger group mentioned in Meadowedge is from the story Power Rangers Element Fusion by ICrzy so I don't own it. Now while most of this chapter was filler it serves to help tell the motivation of one of our big villain's for this season of the story. I do promise you though that next chapter will be a tribute chapter for one of the canon teams. Sora though will not appear, but Sora will return in Episode 13. Until next time this has been decode9.
