Maya was in The Great Library working at her table. On the table was a two solid bracelets one of sterling silver and the other glistening gold and both had symbols engraved into them and the top section looked like it was meant to secure something in place.
Next to them and what Maya was working on looked like slightly enlarged and modified old style pocket watches. Both matched the colors of the bracelets and engraved on the front of the watches was the Lore Keeper emblem.
Maya fits each one of the watches to the bracelets before she pops open the watch revealing the top section was a screen while the bottom had the same numbered buttons on the V2LM's and a button to engage there Legacy Mode. The com was also installed and would also be used to communicate as well as morph.
"And…power synch is installed. Good the Gold and Silver Lore Braces are ready." Maya says to herself proudly before another thought occurs to her.
"Who though deserves these? I can't just give them to anyone." She thought and went to the files she had copied from the school on various students. She then came across two that interested her greatly.
Maya got up from her seat and grabbed the new Lore Bracers she soon teleported out. She decided it might be best to get them to the ones she thought deserved them before Lurre bugs her enough that she rushes and possibly makes a mistake in who she chooses.
"Hope I'm right about this. My gut's never been wrong before." Maya thought as her thoughts also took a sharp turn as she recalled two other rangers in gold in silver. She missed them, but she still didn't feel ready to talk to them.

After the Lore Keepers rangers exploits in the past and having permanently destroyed Abbinus and Xolicernic's Time Window there has practically been no activity from them or Diablo. It is now the weekend and the rangers along with many other local teens were at A&C playing games with or against others.
"GAME!" A voice says from the TV as Cassie cheers having defeated her tenth person in a row on a particular fighting game.
The others watched from nearby "Who knew that Cassie would be so good at fighting games?" AV says as someone else takes the previous person's place to try and dethrone Cassie.
Sora shrugs "How many of you knew that I was a girl when we first met? Besides you Leo." She asked before glancing at Leo who was smirking
"Well we all do kind of have our own preferences." Adam says casually to them all.
"Personally I've always been one for old school side scrolling." He then added as the others nod.
"FPS games. Don't know why, but I like them." Leo says to them as the others already get a bit of an idea of why he might like them.
"I prefer Adventure games personally." Sora says herself with a bit of a shrug.
"I would say my favorite is RPG." Alvin says to them.
"Surprisingly Horror games are my favorite." AV says causing the others to look at her as they were surprised by this.
AV shrugs "Oh come on Horror games now are kind of pathetic and they stick to mostly jump scares." She says to them.
"Yeah she's kind of right about that. It would be horrorible if they cut out the jump scares." Adam joked as from across the room Cassie hears him and groans. The guy she was playing thought this was an opening and tried to beat her character, but Cassie was still on guard and sent the guy's character flying ending the game with her winning yet again.
"Adam where exactly are you getting these crazy puns from? If it's the local joke shop I suggest you return them." Sora says snickering.
Adam smirks "I would like to see you come up with something better." He says to her as the others roll their eyes at him. Cassie returns to the group a large smirk plastered on her face.
"You finally lose? Or did you decide to finally give someone else a turn." Leo asked her.
"Wasn't fair to pretty much hog things so yeah I gave someone else a turn, but not before setting my highest record number of wins." Cassie said satisfied.
"So what was it? Fifty?" Alvin asked her a bit curious and she shakes her head.
"Nope. Try more along the lines of a hundred and five. I've been here since they opened this morning." Cassie says as the others looked at each other deciding it might be best not to ask how she got a little over a hundred people to play against her.
Nearby Eva was watching the group with interest before letting out a sigh as she watched them talk and laugh. She wanted something like that herself, but her shyness always got the better of her.
"Besides who would want to be friends with someone like me?" She thought. She then began to daydream of actually being part of their group and them actually caring about her. She quickly brings herself out of it and looks at the time seeing that it was starting to get late in the afternoon she gets up and grabs her book from the table and was about to leave.
It was then that she noticed something else on the table. It was a silver pocket watch attached to a large bracelet and there was a note beside it that said 'To Eva Chen: Take care of this very special gift. -M.S.'
Eva picked up the strange watch bracelet combination and the note and left A&C. Another person left right behind her and she was so interested in the strange object that she didn't notice the person behind her. So it was no surprise when she stopped for a moment that someone had bumped into her making her fall forward.
"Oww…" She says as a hand extends forward to help her up.
"You need some help their Eva?" A male voice asked and Eva looks up seeing Peter Collins. She takes his hand and he helps her up.
"T-Thank you." She stuttered nervously as she looked away clutching the Lore Brace in her hand. Peter took notice of it and was interested as he had a gold one in his hand.
"So you got a strange bracelet watch to." He states as Eva looks up and sees he had one as well.
"D-Did you g-get a strange n-note with yours t-to?" she asked him as he nods showing it. It read the same thing as hers did and it made her a bit curious as to who would give them these.
It was then that many screams broke out from inside A&C as the door suddenly slammed shut. Peter and Eva went to check it out and peeked in the window to see what was going on. They watched as the teens and even some young children got turned into pixels before vanishing.
The source of this was a monster. It was made of various robotic parts and it's body was made of various game consoles and the logos of each was on them. It's head was an old style computer monitor.
"Wohohoho! Such a brilliant plan if I do say so myself." It began to says.
"Now that the rangers are likely trapped in the world of games along with all the other teens and children in town they will be forced to play by my rules if they want to survive." It continued and then chuckles holding up a hand to its monitor which had a white face on it with black dots for eyes and a creepy smile.
"Then even if they clear my challenges I won't let them free! I will delete them for good and then Master Diablo will be free to carry out his plans. You are a smart one Game Master." It says as Eva and Peter duck low.
"Eva you go and get help. I'm going to try and do something about this guy." Peter says as Eva shakes her head.
"T-There's strength in numbers." She says as Peter sighs.
"I'm just trying to look out for you Eva. I don't want you getting hurt in case I do something stupid." Peter says to her.
"Or you could avoid doing something stupid and I give you two some much needed help." A female voice says coming from the strange bracelets they have causing them to look at it and both blink looking at it in confusion.
"Trans In!" the voice then says as both vanished being teleported to The Great Library.
=LOREKEEPERS=
Both teens were a bit shaky from the sudden teleportation and fall "Ugh…Okay who the heck was that?" Peter asked as steps are heard and Maya comes into their view.
Eva saw her "Miss Spears! What are you doing here?" Eva asked her as Maya chuckles.
"Miss Spears is what you call me in school. Out of school you may call me by my first name if you like." Maya says to them as she helps them up.
"Umm…What is your first name?" Peter asked as Maya rolls her eyes.
"It's Maya." She tells them as they both then recall the initials on the note which was M.S.
"Y-You gave us t-these right?" Eva asked as she and Peter showed the Lore Braces to her.
Maya nods to them "Yes I did. I thought I should do it before Lurre annoys me to find people suitable for them." Maya said calmly as she began to walk off and the two start to walk with her.
"Suitable for what? Who is Lurre? And where exactly are we?" Peter asked as Maya puts a hand to her head groaning a bit.
"First off we are in The Great Library. Don't bother asking where it is as it is a pocket dimension." Maya explained.
"Secondly Lurre is what is known a Lore Keeper. They are a being made of solid energy that can appear human and are meant to record all known history of all dimensions. She is millennia old so don't bother asking her age as even she doesn't know." She continued.
"Thirdly. I see potential in the two of you, and I see you two as the most suitable choices to become the newest rangers to join the Lore Keeper rangers." She finished and it was at this that the two stopped.
"Woah woah woah! Me and her become rangers? Sorry, but that just seems too much. How do we even know that you're telling the truth?" Peter asked defensively.
Maya shakes her head "You don't. Look you don't have to believe me if you don't want to. Though I can tell you how the morphers work, but if you don't want to be part of the team I can take the morpher back and send you home. Deal?" She says.
"T-That sounds like a fair d-deal." Eva said as she was actually rather curious and Peter sighs nodding.
"First you're going to want to put the bracers on. You will feel a surge of power which is the bracers synching up to you meaning that they will work only for you if they work at all." Maya explained as they both nod. They both put them on, and it was at that moment they both felt a surge of energy as Eva was briefly colored in silver energy and Peter in gold.
"W-Woah. That was a r-rush." Eva says Peter nodding in agreement to her before looking to Maya who was smirking a bit, and actually glad they were working.
"Now since they've synched up to you open the watches. An image of a ranger should be shown on the top screen." She instructed to which they do as the Gold and Silver Lore Keeper rangers are shown on their respective screens.
Maya takes in a breath "Now before I go any further I want to know your answer. Do you want to be part of this team?" Maya asked them seriously as both stop a second to actually think it over.
When both looked up they were suddenly not in the library and didn't see Maya or each other.
=LOREKEEPERS=
Eva looked around a bit nervous as she was completely alone or so she thought as five sets of footsteps were heard as a set of figures came forward.
"Huh. So you're the newbie who thinks she deserves the silver ranger powers?" A female voice said and Eva turns to face the voice. She turned coming face to face with the Science Lanes silver ranger who had her arms crossed and Eva could swear that under the helmet she was giving the young girl a look of disappointment.
Another voice sighs but was rather hazy "Calm down there girl. We're not supposed to scare the new girl." The voice said to SL Silver and the haze cleared away revealing Ocean Light Silver.
"Y-You both were silver rangers?" Eva said seeing them.
"Indeed they were young lady." An older male voice says as a younger female voice chuckled.
"Though the two of us weren't exactly Silver, but close enough being sixth and auxiliary rangers ourselves." The female voice then said as two more figures became visible.
The first was the male which was composed of a silver suit with black pants, black arrows pointing upwards along the arms, the radial brace rested on his right arm. Upon his chest was the emblem of a propeller, around his waist was a belt with the same radial design as the morpher. Attached to both his arms, by the wrist, were wing styled blades. His helmet's visor was a V shape and the helmet had a shutter mouth guard that seemed to be like a vent. On the sides of his helmet were vertical wings with aerodynamic positioning. Attached to his belt was a holster which housed a large revolver. It had pipes sprouting from the back and had two thin wings coming out of the side of it, the handle of the pistol was designed to look like an eagle's wing. This was the Sky Striker Ranger of the Steam Force Rangers
The female had a green suit, her body had a vest-like appearance to it with separate white sleeves going down her arms, green gloves at the end of them. On her shoulders were two rounded and thin pauldrons. Her legs were all green and a white tailcoat with a golden trimming came down from her suit. Around her wrists and at the top of her boots were golden bands, styled like thin branches twined together. Around her waist was a golden belt in a similar fashion with a circular buckle that had a leaf adorned upon it. Her helmet was green with a golden trim around the visor, which was shaped like a leaf with a small silver mouthpiece upon it which was outlined in gold. In her hand was the staff of Morrigan. She is the Dryad Ranger of the Mythos Rangers.
"Well don't we got an interesting ranger meeting going on here." Said another male voice as the final figure became visible.
He was dressed in a silver suit much like the GPX Rangers, albeit with differences. His torso was solid silver with black road stripes going down the arms. His pants were black and instead of the black armbands the GPX Rangers had, he had gold arm and boot bands with a gold belt. The gloves were white and the boots were silver. His chest symbol was a "6" over the typical tire. The other difference was the black shoulder pads. He is GPX Silver of the GPX rangers.
Eva looked at the five rangers that have appeared before her and looked down as Science Lanes Silver sighs "Told you she'd be to cowardly for the job." She says to Ocean Light Silver who looked to SL Silver and might be glaring under the helmet.
"Eva right? Well honestly I think that girl over there is wrong." GPX Silver says walking up to her and looks her over as if he was getting a grasp of her personality.
"I've seen a few people like you before Eva. So I'm going to put it simple by saying you better use me and my teams powers for good." He says as Eva looks up to him.
"But how do I know what I'm doing is the right thing to do?" Eva asked as the five just shrug.
"Well kid it's your decision. You can either hang back and let the rangers do all the work or you can be of some help to them." Sky Striker Ranger said to her.
"As much as I don't want to agree with him he is right." Dryad Ranger said as well as SL Silver walks up to Eva and slaps her across the cheek.
Eva was surprised at this and rubs her cheek "W-What was that for?" She asked.
"To try and snap you out of your pity party. Look none of us were prepared when we decided to become rangers. No one is so don't think you're the only one who's gone through this type of anxiety." SL Silver said as OL Silver nods in agreement.
"Not how I would have put it, but she is right. More than that the five of us had agreed to give you our teams True Power, but it will be up to you and the rest of the rangers to put them to good use. That is if you want to become a ranger." OL says as all five rangers glow as Eva thinks it over.
=LOREKEEPERS=
Meanwhile Peter was experiencing the same thing as Eva as he came face to face with five other figures which not all of them were in gold.
The first of the five figures was the Gold RPM ranger. Standing next to him was another male in a gold body suit similar to the Rev Max rangers. His helmet was solid gold with an embossed mouthpiece while the visor looked like a half asterisk sign and black triangular shoulder pads.
The third figure was a black ranger with similarities to the Paleo Force rangers, but he had a jewel on the chest with a dragon design on it.
The final two rangers was Cyber Fire of the Cyber Drive rangers and a Gold Ranger of a currently unknown team.
"Why should I become a ranger? I mean yeah I can fight as well as the next person, but I don't think I'd be of any help." Peter says to them.
The mysterious gold ranger stepped forward "It's not a matter of can or can't. You just do Peter." The ranger says to him.
"I'm not sure alright!" Peter said as a few of the rangers shake their head.
"It's your choice Peter, but the rangers fight with Diablo will go on no matter what. Though it won't exactly matter if they are gone and can't fight anymore." Cyber Fire says as Peter considers this.
"None the less we all consider you and the rest of the Lore Rangers worthy enough to use our powers. It is up to you if you want to become a ranger though." Gold RPM says to him as they all glow as Peter thinks it over.
=LOREKEEPERS=
"I know it is dangerous which is why I'm giving you the chance to leave the Lore Braces here. I will send you straight home if you like." Maya says as Peter and Eva came out of an almost trance like state.
Peter and Eva looked at each other as if asking if the other had experienced the same thing before looking back to Maya as they came to the same decision.
"Umm…How do we work these things again?" Eva asked Maya as Peter nods.
=LOREKEEPERS=
Meanwhile at A&C Game Master was watching from a laptop as the six rangers were running away from a boulder in an adventure based video game "This is one reason I hate adventure games!" The yellow ranger's voice exclaimed as Game Master laughs.
"Hey ugly! I think you missed a couple!" Peter yelled from outside getting the monsters attention and setting the laptop down he walks out seeing Peter and Eva.
"Hahaha. Well it appears I did miss some kids." It said before holding out a hand shooting a pixel like beam at them and they side jump to avoid it.
Peter looks to Eva "Ready?" he asked and she nods as the both stand up and flip open there Lore Braces as the pictures of their Lore Keeper forms are shown.
"Special Story, Unlock!" They say together and as their morphers flash gold and silver.
-Morphing Sequence-
Eva's clothes were stripped away as a silver energy took its place before becoming a solid silver body suit. A large pearl white arrowhead pauldron was on her shoulders as a similar colored belt with a silver arrowhead belt buckle held in place the belt and the skirt. The boots were solid white with silver rings holding them in place and she had solid silver B-Bracers on both arms instead of gloves while attached to her right arm was an arrowhead shaped silver and pearl white trimmed shield. Emblemized on her chest in white was the Lore Keeper emblem. Finally a helmet resembling the Epilogue Ranger's helmet, but without the extra trim around the visor while the helmet and the lower section except the mouth piece was white while the upper section and mouth piece was silver.
Peter was covered in solid gold as a solid gold body suit took place of his civilian clothes. An orange diamond shaped pauldron took it's place on his shoulders while a similar colored belt with a gold diamond belt buckle took it's place around his waist. The boots were solid gold with thick bands of orange going around it and had gold B-Bracers on his arms instead of gloves while a diamond shaped orange shield with gold trim took his place on her left arm. Emblemized on his chest in orange was the Lore Keeper emblem. Finally a helmet resembling the Epilogue Ranger's helmet, but without the extra trim around the visor while the upper and lower section was both gold with the lower section being a lighter gold and the mouth piece was darker orange.
-End Morphing Sequence-
"Silver Story, Lore Keeper Silver!" Eva declared as her weapon appeared which was a set of two small ring blades designed to look like multiple small dove wings connected together.
"Golden Story, Lore Keeper Gold!" Peter says standing firm as his weapon appeared which was a wide double edged sword that looked like two gold lightning bolts when they split two different ways two thirds up the blade.
Seeing this the monster huffs "Not impressive. I can do much better than the two of you." Game Master said holding out its hands as a blade appeared in each hand. One was a silver blade with blue wings like hilt while in the other looked like a white silver variation of the blade in the other hand*.
Both rangers charged at the monster who crossed his blades blocking the attacks and tossed the two rangers back. It was then that the two's morphers glowed as a new ranger image appeared on the screen.
"Story Change!" Both said tapping the screen as Eva turned into Science Lanes Silver and Peter into the unknown gold ranger both wielding the preferred weapons which was a blade for Eva and a set of blasters for Peter.
Peter began to blast at Game Master who was using the blades to reflect the shots away, but left itself open to Eva who hits it across the chest causing it to spark.
The morphers glowed again as two other images appear "Story Change!" they said this time Eva turning into the Ocean Light Silver and Peter into the Black Paleo Force ranger.
Eva closed her hand concentrating power into it and Peter putting his weapon into Blaster Mode and both began to fire at him. Peter charged up a shot at the same time Eva thrust her hand forward shooting a silver laser shot from her hand.
Angered Game Master summoned another set of weapons this time being a set of twin guns* as the two's morphers glowed again and they changed again this time into the Radial ranger for Eva and Gold Rev Max ranger for Peter.
Dodging the gun fire from the onslaught the two charged forward and kicked Game Master before delivering a punch to it knocking him away.
The morphers glowed again this time they changed into GPX Silver for Eva and RPM Gold for Peter. They rushed at Game Master again stealing the guns and opened fire on it before throwing the guns away.
The morphers glowed once more as they turned in the Dryad ranger for Eva and Cyber Fire for Peter. Both charged up the respective weapons as Game Master scrambled to grab one of the guns. The magic blast and energy from the charged shots combined hitting him, but it was not enough to finish Game Master.
They both turned back to normal "Must admit this guy is durable. Though I think it's time we both put an end to this don't you think so Eva?" Peter asked and she nods.
"Yep." She says as they both summon their weapons and charge them with energy.
"Silver Dove Storm!"
"Gold Phoenix Fire!"
When they swung their weapons the fused together creating a burst of energy that looked like a gold and silver dove that was set on fire.
"Game over! Game over! GAME OVER!" Game Master shouts before he exploded as both rangers give the monster a thumbs down.
"Tale End." Both rangers said as all the teens including the morphed rangers were released. They all saw the gold and silver and Lore Red walked up to them.
"Perhaps we should talk back at the library." She tells them as both nod and they all teleported away.
=LOREKEEPERS=
When they arrived all the rangers powered down revealing themselves to each other. Peter and Eva were surprised at the identities of the six other rangers, but the other six were just as surprised about them.
"Well I guess that explains why you six suddenly get along much better than you usually do." Peter said to them
"Hey we weren't that bad before we became rangers." Leo retorts as Cassie shakes her head.
"Actually we were Leo. You and Sora were good friends while the rest of us tolerated you or avoided you." Adam says to Leo who glares at Adam.
Alvin sighs "Don't mind them. They are usually like this." He tells them.
"O-Okay." Eva says.
"Hey I wouldn't worry. I think you two will fit right in." Cassie said as Sora nods in agreement.
"Welcome to the team you two." Sora said as AV watched them.
Episode 17 is now done. Now I had originally planned for the Gold and Silver rangers to be introduced at the very start of the third arc, but I figured I had delayed their appearance long enough. Little fact about this episodes Monster of the Day who is known as Game Master. I actually pulled this monster idea from another story, and wanted to use him as a tribute to one of my favorite authors, and as such that author deserves credit. So thank you Crimson G for being the original creator of Game Master. Also thanks to the introduction of the Gold and Silver I will actually be ending this arc much sooner than I had originally planned. Until next time this has been decode9.
