"Ugh…Diablo has extremely lousy timing!" Leo said as he and the other rangers were running through the streets in the middle of the night towards the scene of a monster sighting.
The monster alert had gone off in the middle of the night signaling that another one of Diablo's monsters had show up and now the group were running in the middle of the night in there night clothes. Leo was just wearing yellow night pants, Alvin was in a light green top and shorts, Adam was in a black sports top and shorts, Cassie a pink knee length nightgown, and AV was in a blue top and night pants.
"Y-Yeah, and r-r-right in the middle of i-i-it snowing." Adam said rubbing himself to keep warm. It actually was in fact snowing as Legacy Hills was known to have rather harsh winters and snow storms were to be expected to which it was.
"Hey you're not the only one who had to deal with it. I had to hike around for Lurre to get a strong enough lock on me and bring me in." Maya's voice said on the communicators as she was at The Great Library in a red night gown and night pants.
"Anyways the monster should be right ahead of you. Careful." Maya said and cut the communications the five rangers arriving at the scene. Standing in front of them was what looked like a miniaturized brown scaled T-Rex with mechanical limbs and an armored chest plate with pure yellow eyes.
"Greetings rangers. I'm…" The monster started as Leo stepped up.
"Look buddy we don't care who you are. You caught us at an extremely bad time." He says hand clenched into a fist.
"IT'S MORPHIN TIME!" He shouts holding up his morpher as do the others the images of their basic forms showing up.
"Unlock The Legend!" They all shout transforming weapons summoned Leo leading the charge.
"Leo wait!" AV shouted out to him as he ignored getting close and swung his blade, but as he approached the T-Rex/machine hybrid opened it's mouth spewing flames at the yellow ranger who was hit and knocked back.
The hybrid let out a laugh "Fool. A smart man understands his foes before engaging them. I knew that disturbing your sleep cycle would cause you to be sloppy and irritable." It says as Alvin helps Leo up AV formulating a plan.
"Okay guys here's what I need you to do…" She starts, but as she did so Leo rushes as the hybrid again making close hits, but missing as the hybrid simply side steps and lets out another breath of fire Leo rolling out of the way and hitting the hybrid with his katana, and a snapping noise was heard.
Half of Leo's katana clattered to the ground surprising everyone but the monster who opens it's mouth letting out a slew of hot flames engulfing Leo who screamed and was thrown back and forced out of his morph.
Cassie went to Leo "Guys we got to get out of here. He's in no condition to fight right now." She said in distress.
AV looks between the monster and the downed Leo and turns to the monster "We'll be seeing you later." She says seriously the monster smirking as they vanished in flashes of multi-colored light.
=LOREKEEPERS=
"That was careless, reckless…" Maya started to rant angrily as Leo's burns were being tended to and wrapped up by the pink ranger.
"Not to mention plain stupid if you ask me." Adam adds in as Leo huffs.
AV stepped up "What were you thinking Leo? You have nearly lost your life once already, and it was about to happen again but didn't since that monster was rather lenient." She said
"I was thinking I could just rush that monster and get the job done and get us all home quicker." Leo replied coldly crossing his arms irritated that the creature had beaten him.
"If that had been a straight up hand to hand fight I would have won hands down. No stupid dino is going to get the better of me." He thought bitterly Cassie looking him over.
"Well you are mostly okay. You have a few first degree burns along your body, but your hands got the worst of it so I would suggest no physical fighting for a while." She said.
"Thanks." He grumbles getting up. Maya was at a nearby table with the broken katana.
"So how long is it going to take?" Leo asked as Maya turns and frowns.
"A day and a half at most Leo. Sorry, but this is a powerful weapon so it won't be easy to repair." Maya said turning back to the weapon.
Alvin walks up "Why exactly did you do that Leo? AV had it under control and was formulating a plan when you went and decided to attack it." He asked as Leo glares
"Sorry, but I'm not exactly going to wait around for a plan." Leo replied as Maya groans sensing a fight possibly about to erupt between the hothead and the pacifist with the pacifist trying to calm the hothead.
"Don't you even think about starting something Leo. We are all tired and irritable, and now I have to work through the night to fix this. You all go home and get some rest." She said.
AV glanced around "Where did Lurre go to?" she asked.
"To research. She told me she has seen this monster before and is looking for her file on it." Maya replied simply the others nodding and left headed back for home.
Maya let out a sigh "Well at least it can't get any worse." She said opening her laptop which suddenly gained static seconds later blueprints for a special morpher compatible with Lore Red flashed onto screen.
"What the!?" Maya exclaimed as a message appeared on the screen:
'TROUBLE GREATER THAN DIABLO SLOWLY APPROACHES MAYA. YOU MUST MAKE THIS IF YOUR TEAM AND ANOTHER ARE TO STAND A CHANCE AGAINST THIS THREAT. –K.M.'
"Stranger and stranger things keep happening." Maya mutters looking at the design of the strange morpher and then goes back to working on Leo's blade.
=LOREKEEPERS=
"And by the end of it all he has first degree burns and physical fights will just hurt his hands more!" Adam said that morning at lunch his phone set on speaker as he had called Sora.
"Hmm…I was afraid this would happen if I wasn't there." Sora said on his end letting out a sigh.
"Look Sora I know Leo is your friend and all, but the guys a loose cannon. He's going to get us all hurt!" Adam said as Cassie raised an eyebrow at him.
"You mean like the time you nearly got us all hurt?" she reminds him and Adam opens his mouth only to close it and huff.
"Look everyone. I know from experience that Leo is a hard guy to get along with. He doesn't exactly take marching orders so to say." Sora says.
"Then how come he listens to you and Cassie the most out of all of us?" Adam asked.
"Well it could be that he's been one of my best buds since I moved here, and I can't exactly vouch for Cassie, but I have an idea what it could be." Sora said as Cassie hides a blush.
AV and Alvin came over sitting down "Well besides that we got something to tell you and AV. It's about that woman." Alvin says referring to Abbinus.
"Huh? You actually found out something about her?" Sora asked AV a bit surprised by this.
"If by 'found out something' you mean learning about her past then yes." Adam said.
"Turns out miss alien was originally a human by the name of Abby Jones. She use to attend Unity Lakes High, and during her senior year she kidnapped a fellow student. It was your mom AV." Cassie informed AV shivers.
"Who rescued her?" AV asked as Alvin takes out a list.
"Was a group of young adults from Meadowedge according to the newspaper and Mrs. Winchester; Elizabeth Strong, Alex Rodriquez, Tia Moore, Timothy Porter, Carson Small, Zara Wellham, Rena Rays, and Zane Daniels." Alvin said as on the other end Sora was heard spitting out some kind of drink.
"WHAT!?" He said clearing torn between surprised and irritated.
Alvin back away a bit from the phone "Is everything okay Sora?" Alvin asks.
"Yeah. Just fine. Dad's asking for me. Talk to you all later." Sora said hanging up as Leo got to the table.
"So guys what exactly we going to do about that thing if it shows up?" Leo asked referring to the monster from that morning.
Adam shakes his head "We will handle it if it shows up. You don't have a weapon Leo, and physical fights are a no no." he reminds him.
"Hey! I could always use another form." Leo replied the others shake their heads.
"As much as that is a good idea you shouldn't risk it." Alvin said to him.
"I can take care of myself Alvin." Leo said annoyed.
AV shakes her head "Leo you must have to try and look out for yourself. You rest and let us take care of this until your hand heals up Leo." AV calmly explained.
"You guys aren't my boss! I can take care of myself!" Leo said annoyed getting up and walking off.
Cassie shakes her head getting up "This situation requires a ladies touch. I'll talk to him." She said and walked off to find Leo.
=LOREKEEPERS=
Leo was outside and sitting on a bench an annoyed expression on his face as other students passed him by ignoring him or not wanting to bother the frustrated young man.
Cassie saw him and sat down next to him "So you want to talk about what just happened in there?" she asked him.
Leo huffs "Cassie it's not exactly something you need to know about." He said.
"Please Leo. I'm here to help you." Cassie said grabbing one of Leo's hands causing the blond to blush.
"Ugh…okay Cassie." He said letting out a sigh.
"Sora probably told you guys that I don't exactly take orders. Sora is an exception since we're best buds and all. We understand each other rather well." Leo started and Cassie nods.
"It doesn't have to do with you guys. It has to do with me." He tells her.
"What do you mean?" Cassie asked.
"You know the old part of Legacy Hills?" He asked Cassie.
"Oh yes I do. A few gangs are known to live there. The people are supposedly just as tough." Cassie replied.
Leo sighs "Yeah. Me and my family actually live there." He tells her.
"In the old part of town we had to do what we could. My dad even taught me how to fight so that I could defend myself." Leo said with a sigh.
"Oh Leo…" Cassie said.
"I got into a lot of fights, but I could always scrap by and I handled myself well." Leo said putting a hand on his arm gripping it he being the only one knowing under his shirt.
"And I would always win. I didn't take orders and made my own choices when it came to those fights Cassie." He continues and lets out a sigh.
Cassie nods "So because you were always alone and won you thought that you didn't need us at all?" she asked him.
"Yeah something like that. I know we're supposed to be a team and all, but it's hard to since I'm use to fighting alone." Leo admits.
"You got us now Leo. We look out for one another so let us do it this once." Cassie said and Leo sighs.
"Okay you win, but at least let me do something." He said to her Cassie thinking for a moment an idea forming that would at least keep Leo occupied.
"Well perhaps you could go pick up my guitar. I sent it to a shop in Reefside, California to get it fixed." Cassie suggested to him.
Leo rubs his chin "Well since I can't do much else sure. My cars working fine so I don't see why not." He said about a minute later getting up.
"I'm sure you will be back in action soon Leo." Cassie tells him getting up and hugs him causing Leo to slightly blush and both parted ways heading back into the school.
=LOREKEEPERS=
After school released for the day four of the five rangers teleported to The Great Library where Maya and Lurre were waiting for them and two sets of ranger books were set out. It was the books for the Dino Charge and Time Force rangers.
"Glad that all of you could make it here. Lurre has been trying to find out a way to handle D-Rex." Maya said as Lurre comes to them.
"Speaking of which." Maya said as Lurre nods.
"Indeed. Looking over things I have found some rather interesting. During your battles with Sound Catcher and Blocker you gained a greater power when you turned into these particular teams." Lurre said patting the books.
"In fact you could actually use the full powers of them if you so wanted. Normally you would have been restricted." She continues trying to figure out how the rangers gained the true powers of those teams.
Alvin looked at the Dino Charge books specifically the pink book and recalled meeting her "Perhaps it has something to do with one of us meeting one of those teams rangers? Back when we fought Sound Catcher I met the Pink Dino Charge ranger." Alvin says as Lurre stops considering this.
"Hmm…and by meeting her and gaining her approval the entire team gained greater power. That explains that, but how did you gain the Time Force's full power?" Lurre asked.
"Maybe Sora met one of them in the past? There was that man that seemed to know what the Time Force could do." AV suggested.
"Do you think the true powers of those teams could beat D-Rex?" Adam asked as Lurre shakes her head.
"No. For now you will just have to figure out a way around Diablo's latest abomination." Lurre said and looks to Maya.
Maya nods "No worries Lurre. No need to ask. Leo's weapon is just about fixed so he will be able to fight again soon." Maya told them all.
The alarm went off and the screen pops up revealing that D-Rex was back and was attacking the city yet again. Along with him was Dracotaur.
The four nod to each other and morph before being teleported to the site of the battle.
=LOREKEEPERS=
After about an hour of driving Leo had arrived in Reefside, California and was outside the music store that Cassie had sent her guitar to. It looked to be a two story building where the music shop was on the bottom and an apartment was above it. There was a sign that said DT Wave on the store.
Leo walked on inside to the store and saw several instruments on the wall and a few behind cases along with music sheets. Behind the counter was a woman in her late thirties wearing a yellow top with a black jacket that has yellow trimming and jean pants. She has shoulder length brown hair and eyes.
"Can I help you?" the woman asked Leo getting his attention.
"Oh…uhh yeah. I came here to pick up something of my friend. She sent it here to get it fixed." Leo asked.
"Okay. What's your friends name?" the woman asked.
"Cassandra StClare." Leo replied as the woman nods heading to the back and comes back with a black guitar case and sets it on the counter.
Leo opened it revealing a white V neck guitar with a hot pink neck. Leo closes it and picks it up wincing a bit at the pain.
"Something wrong there?" the woman asked as Leo shakes his head.
"Nope I'm fine. Don't need to worry about me." Leo said as the woman gave him a stern gaze.
"You aren't a very good liar. Did something happen to your hands?" she asked Leo setting the guitar back down.
"I made a stupid mistake that's all. I was just being a stupid punk." Leo said as the woman smiles a bit being reminded of someone.
"You know you aren't the only one to make mistakes like you have. In fact someone I know is just like that." The woman said.
"Yeah right. You got no clue what I'm going through." Leo retorts as the woman shakes her head.
"Actually I know more than you think, and so does the person I'm talking about. He had to choose between something he had a passion for or something more important." She explained as Leo huffs.
"Yeah well I bet he didn't have to deal with what I have to deal with." He mutters.
"Again me and that person actually know what you have to deal with." The woman said as Leo looks at her
"You can't do some things on your own. You have to listen to the person in charge even if you don't want to at times." She said as Leo takes this in and the image of a ranger covers the woman. It had the same mark as Dino Thunder Black on the chest, but with white diamonds and the helmet designed in the style of a Pterodactyl.
Leo blinked and the image vanished "Who are you?" he asked as the woman smiles.
"Kira. It's a pleasure to meet the next yellow ranger. Even if it's a guy, but then again there is the ninja's." the former Dino Thunder ranger said.
Leo chuckles at her comment as the news comes on showing the ongoing going ranger fight in Legacy Hills. Leo clutches his hand into a fist as Kira looks at him and nods.
"Go on. I'm sure you can get there quick." Kira said and Leo grabs the guitar case and morphs running out of DT Wave teleporting to the site of the battle.
=LOREKEEPERS=
The four morphed rangers were knocked back to the ground by a combination of fire and energy blasts. The two villains stood before them with a small group of Gearz and Shades.
"Well well well. It might not be all of you, but four of six will be more than enough to satisfy. Though I do wish your yellow was here. I've been wanting to finish our fight we had started." Dracotaur says as D-Rex just laughs.
The four got up as the morphers beep Maya contacting them "Everyone some new books just popped up. So you got some new powers at your disposal. Just be careful as I don't know exactly what they can do yet." Maya tells them.
"Okay let's give them a go. Alvin how about you try one of those riders while we use this new powers to our advantage." AV suggested as she, Casse, and Adam's morphers showed a new ranger form and Alvin's showed a black and grey version of Kamen Rider Dragon.
"Unlock The Legend!" All four shout transforming into three new rangers and the black dragon kamen rider known as Kamen Rider Onyx.
AV was the first to change as her blue suit becoming solid blue a stylized silver parasaur appearing on the chest as a white belt with a silver parasaur buckle took its place around the waist a skirt being held in place. The blue on the arms turned black as white gloves with silver bands took place of the normal the same thing happening with the legs. Finally the helmet changed becoming solid blue and style after a parasaur with a silver metal plate with embossed lips. Attached to the hip was what looked like a small raptor claw with blaster modifications.
Adam was encased in black onyx and it burst a griffin coming out of it a pure black ranger suit with a stylized griffin on it's chest and an onyx like shaped visor took place on the helmet as Adam smashed a mace on the ground.
Finally was Cassie as her suit changed from pink to solid purple. The boots and gloves had black rings around them and stripes running down them. Emblemized in orange on the chest was what looked like a set of spread wings. The helmet was one solid piece with the same symbol on the chest on the head but smaller and above the rectangular visor. Cassie twirled the katana that had appeared in her hand.
"Okay let's try this again. It's Showtime!" AV declared as the four rangers in there new forms ran at their enemies.
AV and Cassie were the first to reach the enemies. AV took the claw like blaster from her hip and swung it the claw hitting it's make knocking back the Gearz and Shades and stunning them long enough for Cassie and her katana to slice through them with ease.
"SWORD VENT" A mechanical voice called out as Alvin summoned a blade and got in front of the girls reflecting a blast of energy fired at them from Dracotaur.
"Now!" Alvin told Adam who ran their way and jumped onto Alvin's shoulders and propelled himself up into the air before coming down and smashing his mace on the ground sending out a small shockwave the knocked most of there foes into the air. AV now had a short axe in her hands and jumped up slicing at the Gearz and Shades. Yet one managed to attack her and knock her weapon out of her hand. AV managed to grab it by the blade and it seemed like she pulled something causing a blast of energy to fire from the bottom section blasting the Shade.
AV lands on the ground the foes either turning to smoke or their mechanical remains falling to the ground "Uhh…Well that was a rather unexpected." AV said as the others gather up around her and they turn to villains.
Alvin canceled his form turning back to his standard form. Dracotaur and D-Rex took this opportunity and rushed at the rangers. Flames and sword hit them knocking them to the ground canceling out the rangers other modes knocking them back to standard.
"Hmph…" Dracotaur huffed disappointed that the rangers had knocked away that easily.
"Pathetic! It's been fun you four, but I've got other places to go and people to fry as well as conquer your planet for Master Diablo." D-Rex said preparing to blast them with his hottest fire.
"Oh no you don't punk!" Leo's voice said as D-Rex was punched by the morphed yellow ranger knocking him to the side and causing D-Rex to spew fire in the direction of Dracotaur who sidesteps it.
Leo winces as the others got up "What you doing here? We told you we would handle this till you got better." Adam says as Leo grins under his helmet.
"Yeah I know that, but I couldn't just stand by and watch you guys get beaten to a pulp. Listen I know I have an authority issue, but I guess for now I can listen to squirt till red gets back." Leo said his katana suddenly appearing.
"I guess we both got some great timing. Your katana is fixed and ready to go yellow, but I'm still not sure if it will be enough to stand up to D-Rex and Dracotaur." Maya said over the comes as Leo, Adam, Cassie, and AV's morphers flashed turning to a particular set of rangers. It was the Red, Blue, Yellow, and Black Dino Thunder rangers.
"A True Power? But how did we get it?" AV asked as Leo looks at the image of Dino Thunder Yellow and smirks thanking Kira in his head.
"Unlock the Legend!" Leo says and turns into a male version of Dino Thunder Yellow AV (DT Blue), Adam (DT Black), and Cassie (DT Red) followed suit each wielding the weapon of the respective ranger.
"Alvin stay back! We can handle these guys." Leo says to the slightly exhausted green ranger the drain of the rider form taking its toll on him.
It was sudden, but a surge of energy went through the four rangers the suits changing. Yellow gained wing like extensions between the arms and wings and honestly Leo felt a lot lighter like he could fly. The white on blue suit extended out becoming more spike like and a lot sturdier like a shield. Red and Blacks extended out a bit, but it wasn't significant.
"Okay squirt it's your call." Leo said looking to the temporary leader who nods.
"Yellow give us some cover fire, and black shake them up. Me and Red here will rattle them up enough then we'll finish D-Rex." AV said and each nod Leo leaping in the air high enough that it actually looked like he was flying. Using the Ptera grips he blast at Dracotaur and D-Rex which Dracotaur block using his sword.
Adam takes his staff and stabs the staff into the ground causing the ground to shake around the two giving AV and Cassie time to hit them with their respective weapons.
"Alright let's put them together!" AV said as Leo lands each ranger combing there weapons with one another. Dracotaur sees this and teleports away just in time as the Z-Rex Blaster is fired and destroys D-Rex.
Dracotaur appears back at the base "Fire the reanimation wave!" He orders a Gearz who nods and presses the button firing the wave which reanimated and grew D-Rex to megazord size.
"Summon your zords. I'll send the Red Alpha Wolf to you." Maya says as the rangers uses there morphers signaling there zords and the Red Alpha Wolf ran into the area.
"Unite the Legend! Tales Megazord Online!" The TM formed into it's standard form none of the rangers in the center, but just as it formed D-Rex breather blue hot fire at them not giving them time to react and the TM was knocked down.
"Ugh okay. Nice come back." Leo said as they all get up as does the TM.
"I think it's clear this guy isn't going to give us time to…" Cassie started before they all side stepped making the TM jump to the side to avoid another jet of blue flames.
"Yeah. We need another game plan. Sure this formation is fast, but we need an even faster one." Adam says the TM rolling out of the way of a large blue fireball.
Leo's morpher flashed yellow the screen showing a Yellow Pterodactyl "Well if squirt doesn't mind me taking lead a moment here then I got just the thing. At least I hope so." He says as Cassie nods.
"Unite the Legend!" Leo exclaimed.
-Megazord Shift Sequence-
The TM completely separated into its separate zords each ranger in the cockpit as a Yellow Pterodactyl zord came flying in and the Blue Eagle zord flew up to it both separting as the bodies combined forming a new cockpit for the team and the yellow and blue wings were on it's back. The Yellow Fox and Green Bison zords turn into arms as the Pink Wolf and Black Bull turn into legs for the zord. Finally the Red Alpha Wolf zord shift and changes eventually becoming a segmented spear with a large round and sharp spear head which was held in the hands. The face of the megazord was covered by a yellow visor.
-End Megazord Sequence-
"Thunder Tales Megazord ready!" Leo says having taking the center position the others around him.
"Interesting, but can it take this!" D-Rex says firing a large blue fireball at the TTM.
"Oh I'm pretty sure it can. Wings do your thing!" Leo says as the wings of the TTM flap hard and they fly up avoiding being hit by the fireball.
D-Rex growled firing off more fireballs which they avoid and circled around. When the TTM got close it swung it's spear hitting D-Rex who lets out a growl of pain.
"Okay guys let's keep doing that." Leo said as they dodged another fireball and hit him again before ascending into the air.
"Now the finisher!" Leo said as each ranger raises a hand into the hair and grips it forming a fist. Outside the TTM raised the each segment of the segmented spear began to spin going faster and faster each one in opposite direction of the other. The TTM then descended accelerating it's speed as it descended up D-Rex.
"Thunder Spear Drill!" The five rangers declared in unison punching the floor of the TTM causing the TTM to thrust it's spear down and threw D-Rex and then backs away as D-Rex explodes.
"Tale End." Leo declares.
=LOREKEEPERS=
Maya watched them with a satisfied smile on her face before wincing and grasping her shoulder. She was still a bit hurt after something she had done.
"Ugh…well at least one headache is over with." She says rolling her shirt up and removing her old bandages and starts to replace it with some fresh ones. She glances over at the strange blue prints she had received.
"Then there's you…hmm…some things just don't ever change." Maya says and sighs wondering who sent her the blue prints and why.
And that is the end of Episode 12 and the Dino Thunder tribute chapter. Okay now I know I have a lot to cover so let me start with the mysterious message and the morpher blueprints. The mysterious message is from a mentor of another OC ranger team, and the blue prints are for a special morpher that will be exclusive to the Red Lore Ranger. As for why this other mentor has them well…you will have to wait and see.
Secondly the three new teams that were added to the arsenal come from two stories and the other is one in planning by another author. So thank you to Thewhatzupwriter26 for Underdog Squad, ICrzy for Monster Hunters (Which I tweaked the suits if that's okay), and Benjamin J Brown for the other which I'm going to keep a secret until it comes out.
Thirdly why was I gone for over a month. Okay I will be honest life kind of got in the way. Not long after I posted the previous chapter of this a game called Fire Emblem Fates came out, and I'm a big fan of the series so of course I bought it and I still haven't actually finished it…then my flash drive containing this story along a few other projects. I did manage to find it in the strangest place (which I had checked before. I'm starting to think my current residence is haunted).
Well I think I've gone on long enough, and next chapter Sora will return, but it will be a filler rather than anything actually happening so I apologize in advance. Until next time this has been decode9.
