It was nighttime and almost everyone in Legacy Hills was asleep. All but one person and it was the LHH diva Robyn who was typing furiously on a computer and chuckles printing out several copies of the same document.

"This will show Gregory and Winchester not to mess with me." She chuckled as the documents printed and after they were done she put the documents into a folder and into her bag.

Meanwhile arriving back in Legacy Hills was Sora and Mr. Daniels along with a slightly limping Mrs. Daniels as they got out of there car "Are you sure about coming home so soon Rena?" Mr. Daniels asked his wife who nods.

"I'm fine Zane. I know it was touch and go back there, but I'm fine now." Mrs. Daniels AKA Rena Daniels says as Sora walks up and hugs her surprising his mother.

Sora pulls away "Look you know I'm not that good at this mom, and I know we haven't gotten along most of the time. I-I…I'm sorry about what I said the day before the crash." Sora said glancing away. Rena looks at Sora realizing all the guilt Sora had been feeling this entire time.

"It wasn't your fault Sora. As for the argument I blame myself." Rena said and lets out a sigh.

"I haven't exactly been a role model mother. I leave you and your father alone half the time while I tend to the shop, and when I do have time off I don't take the time to spend with you all." She adds Sora listening.

"I know we have a lot to work through, but these next couple weeks I'm going to be spending with the both of you." She finished Mr. Daniels AKA Zane was smiling and so was Sora.

The family headed in and Sora let out a yawn "Well sounds like someone is rather sleepy. Perhaps you should get some rest squirt. You've been watching over your mom as much as I have." Zane says and Sora nods heading on up to his room and laying down on the bed falling asleep second later.

=LOREKEEPERS=

The next day at LHH the entire group of rangers was all together for the first time in a week "Let me be the first to say it's good to have you back Sora." Leo said putting a hand on his friends shoulder.

"Thanks Leo. Mom's doing fine." Sora said Cassie letting out a sigh of relief.

"That's good to hear, and you look uhh…well a lot more calm than usual." Cassie said.

"Well his mom did just get out of the hospital so of course he is going to be calm. Considering what went down between them I would be to." Adam says a smile plastered on his face.

AV was digging through her bag and then pulled out Sora's LMV2 "Maya said to give it to you when we had the chance." She tells Sora who takes it and straps it on feeling a surge of energy the morpher flashing a second to indicate it had successfully bonded to Sora.

"Well now with Sora back with us we are back to full strength." Alvin states the others nodding as Adam glances around.

"Hmm…funny about now would be the perfect time for Robyn to come in and say something to us." He said as a light tanned girl came over huffing slightly exhausted.

She was about the same age as Sora and stood a bit shorter with a build that was a balance of athletic and muscular while still looking skinny at the same time. Wavy brown hair went to the middle of her back and blue eyes that seemed to have flecks of barely noticeable gold also in them. She wore a dark blue shirt and layered over it was a black and white unbuttoned flannel shirt and over both of them was a silver varsity jacket with a white four on it along with skinny jeans and silver converse. She is Robyn's former friend and lackey Sara Jeckilson.

"What is it Sara, and by the way like the new look." Leo says Cassie glaring at him.

Sara takes in a breath "Okay I don't have much time before she does it, but Robyn is still made at Alvin and Avalon for how they keep interfering in her business." Sara says quickly.

"Well she can't really do anything about it." AV said with a shrug.

"Except make your friends school lives a living hell. She isn't in charge of the cheerleaders and the school newspaper for nothing you know." Sara points out then shakes her head.

"Getting off topic. Anyways she is putting out a special edition of the paper this morning, and well…" Sara looks to Sora.

"Hey whatever she says people aren't exactly going to believe." Sora said as Sara tenses up.

"Even if it's a secret that you technically haven't been keeping a secret?" Sara asked as Sora tensed up hearing this as does Leo both looking at each other.

Sora gets up "I'm…going to go get some air." Sora said taking off out of the room.

AV looked to Leo having seen him have the same reaction as Sora "What is Sora hiding Leo? Don't lie to me as you know I will know." AV asked and Leo sighs.

"Might as well tell you all since you will find out in a few minutes anyways." Leo said and shakes his head.

He starts by looking at Cassie "First of all Cassie why do you think Sora won't go out with you?" he asked.

Cassie thinks a moment "Well there are a couple reason, but honestly I don't even…" she started.

"Well for as long as I've know Sora I know that she doesn't swing that way." Leo interrupts her.

Cassie blinks "Wait you just said…" she starts.

"She, but that would mean that…" Adam continued on.

"That this whole time…" Alvin added on.

"Sora has been hiding his uhh…her gender!" AV finished and Leo nods.

"Yeah. Sora is and has always been a girl." Leo said the others unsure how to respond to this.

"Why didn't Sora ever tell us? It's like she hasn't even gone through puberty." Adam said as Leo rubs his head.

"Yeah about that. According to Mr. Daniels it's a rare thing that happens every few generations where someone in their family won't hit puberty till about their middle teens." Leo replied recalling a similar conversation he had with Zane.

He then blinks "Are we really talking about this right now? Sora might want someone to talk to." He quickly adds as they all take off to look for Sora as Sara leaves to try and stop Robyn.

Sora was on the school roof frustrated. Sora was in fact a girl despite her boyish like appearance and rather confusing voice. She hadn't been hiding the fact that she was a girl it just never came up and didn't seem to matter to the people that were around her.

"Well it's going to matter now. Excluding Leo the others are probably going to be pissed I hide this from them." She says to herself and taking out a rubber band from a jacket pocket she pulls her hair back and wrapping the rubber band around makes a low ponytail and then she takes off her jacket.

The door to the roof opened the rest of the group coming up "Uhh…Sora?" Adam asks and she turns to face them.

"Oh. Hey guys." She says and waits for the others to start yelling at her.

"So…you're a girl huh? Well have to say that I didn't expect that." Alvin says trying to ease how awkward most of the group was feeling.

Cassie stepped up "Why didn't you tell us? Leo knew so why didn't you tell us?" she asked and Sora sits down on the bench the rest of the group doing the same.

"Would you have believed me Cassie? I look like a boy and have a voice that makes people question what gender I am. I didn't want tell you guys cause well…I just wasn't sure if you would believe me." She says as Cassie shakes her head.

"You know you're not the only one with secrets." Cassie tells her.

"You know how when you guys came over my parents weren't even there?" She asked as they nod all remembering that.

"My dad is always gone on business trips for months on end. I'm lucky if I see him three times a year. My mom well I don't know why, but she just doesn't like being around me. It's like I'm a bad reminder to her." Cassie adds on.

"Ouch. Rough family relationship." Adam says and Alvin nudges him.

"To be honest it's not much better with my own family." Alvin says and rather reluctantly and a bit scared he rolls up the sleeve of his shirt revealing a long scar that goes from the middle of his right hand to the middle of his arm.

The group winces everyone falling silent "How did that happen?" Adam finally asked Alvin.

"It was almost three years ago. My father's business had just gone under, and he began to drink as well as abuse mother. One night he went to swing at her with a broken beer bottle. I jumped in to try and stop them from fighting and well…this happened." Alvin explained.

"Ouch now that's harsh man." Leo said.

"Mother divorced him after that and we left our old home moving in here." He finishes as Adam nods.

"I can understand where you're coming from. My parents are divorced to Alvin, but they both still live in town." Adam says and shakes his head.

"I stay with my dad most of the time, and he possibly my biggest support when it comes to sports. Though he can push me hard and when I can't make it to his standards he gets angry." Adam continues and was shaking a bit.

"It scares me sometimes because I'm afraid he's going to beat on me. My mom lives in town and she has always offered me to stay when dad gets like that." He finished and Alvin puts a hand on his shoulder.

AV takes off her sunglasses "Well you all already know about my eyes. Not many people have been a fan of them. When I was younger a boy had lied and I called him out on it. A girl who I thought was my friend saw my eyes change color and left me calling me a freak." She says tearing up a bit her eyes turning bright orange.

"Hey it's okay AV. We don't consider you one." Leo said her eyes remaining bright orange and she smiles and he himself looks away.

"Though I'm probably the biggest hypocrite of the group." He added shaking his head as he recalled his actions back when the secret had come out about her eyes.

"What do you mean?" Sora asked as Leo sighs.

"Look I'm not good at this and well…" Leo stops and brushes away the hair covering his right eye revealing a green eye.

"Yeah. I have heterochromatic eyes." He tells them all as Adam glares.

"And you were complaining about AV's eyes." Adam says as Leo rolls his eyes.

"Yeah yeah get it all out Adam." Leo said before turning to Sora who was a bit surprised that Leo had never told her.

"What we are trying to get through to you is that everyone has something to hide. It is only a matter of time before those secrets come out." He said as Sora shakes her head chuckling.

"Thanks everyone." She says.

Cassie was looking away embarrassed now realizing her actions over the years "Uhh…and Sora I'm sorry about well…you know. Well know I know why you always told me that I'm not your type." She says embarrassed as they all share a laugh including Cassie.

"Hey it's okay Cassie. I just figured you had figured it out by now. Then again I haven't said that I don't swing that way." Sora replied getting up and kissing Cassie on the cheek and headed back into the school as Cassie was blushing at the action.

"Uhh…Does Sora swing that way Leo?" Adam asked Leo in a whisper and he just shrugs.

"Honestly I have no clue." Leo replied and they all followed Sora on inside Cassie being the last.

Watching the school from a nearby building was Zisko arms crossed "Well well appears the young chap in red is a fair maiden and not a gentlemen." He says having watched and heard what happened between the rangers.

He begins to contemplate attacking the school and forcing them out, but the sound of someone walking up from behind him got his attention. He turns coming face to face with the female Red Mystic Knight.

"Ahh…You must be the one Abbinus calls 'Knight Girl'. I can see why." Zisko says to her.

"Cut the act buddy. You think I'm stupid enough not to know you plan on attacking the school." She states drawing her sword and Zisko draws his rapier.

"I would hurt to harm a fair maiden, but then again I must defend myself." He states and both charge at each other.

Red thrusts her sword forward and Zisko parries it going for a vertical slash Red blocking it and then kicks him in the stomach knocking him back.

"Not bad, but we are just getting started." Zisko said standing straight and sheaths his blade grasping both of his hands a purple and black aura covering him.

Zisko let out a shout the aura covering him and when it vanished standing in place of Zisko was a mash up between a goblin, pirate, and robot with pirate like clothing that was primarily crimson and gold with a pirate like hat and yellow eyes. Had a rapier strapped to his side and two black pistols similar in design to the Super Megaforce rangers on each side and a small collapsible hammer on his back.

"So this is your real form? Could tell from the first moment they fought you that you were holding something back." Red says to Armored Zisko.

"That I was indeed. My last few fights I have been 'flexing my muscles' as you humans say." He said drawing his rapier which had become more a single solid piece and thicker.

"Now let's dance!" He says rushing at Red in a way that seemed like he was flying and slashed her across the chest knocking her back and almost forcing her out of her morph.

Zisko then surprisingly takes flight into the air and was hovering just above her "Well mate unless you got some trump card I think we're done here. Good day." He says about to leave before he was blasted in the back as Red got up.

"W-Who said I was done?" Red states in pain as Zisko shakes his head.

"You don't want to go down this road mate. All that waits you is a bad ending." Zisko stated as Red just stares at Zisko and clenches a hand into a fist then relaxes and Zisko could almost swear he saw the woman smirking under her helmet.

"Well you went through your little transformation. Now it's my turn." Red said to him.

"Red Fire Warrior Activate!" Red shouts her morpher changing resembling a dragon head and she takes out the key before plugging it in.

A vortex of flame engulfed Red and when it cleared a new form had taken its place of her old. The suit had turned a crimson red and the helmet resembled that of a dragon with dragon like teeth on the sides of the visor. Gauntlets designed like that of a dragon took place of her gloves with fire exhausts in them. A blood red jewel was on the chest plate with the image of a dragon inside it. Small fire exhausts were on the sides of the boots. Finally metallic black dragon like wings trimmed with crimson were on her back.

Zisko whistled "I thought only the male Red Mystic had that." He says.

"Well I do as well, and you aren't going to find out why." She said summoning a large golden knights sword with a dragon designed hilt and she slashes sending waves of fire out at Zisko who barely dodges.

Red then held the blade up in the air and it was engulfed in crimson fire. The exhausts on the boots flared to life shooting Red into the air at high speeds and she hits Zisko with the flaming blade which engulfs Zisko. When it stops he falls to the ground returning to his human form.

Red landed in front of him "Well I will let you and your pals be for now. Later mate." Zisko says vanishing seconds later.

Red went back down to basic form and lets out a sigh "Have to admit that was more tiring that I thought that it would be. Then again it has been a long time since I've had to do that." She says.

"Now I better get back before a teacher finds I'm not in the library." Red adds on teleporting away.


That's all for this episode, and I can already see that some of you might be complaining that Sora being a girl makes no sense and I made up a lame excuse for why it wasn't noticeable. I had actually originally planned for Sora to be a guy, but since there are very female reds (even in the OC cast) I just decided it would work better, and I actually have hinted at Sora's real gender. For example Red, Blue, and Pink all share the same gold trimming on their suit and LMV2's.

As for the ending bit that was just something I decided to add on the fly and I just wanted to give Mystic Red a bit more time as well as show Zisko off a bit more. Now I have a few other Lore Keeper related projects in the works (both of which are movie based stories) and I hope to get started on them soon. So until next time this has been Decode9.
