It was a normal day as Maya exited her apartment and lets out a sigh "Cassie is still missing, and just yesterday I finally managed to confirm which Fallen Ranger is human...It's Fallen Silver." Maya thought as she went into the elevator.

"And from what Sora told me the Fallen Rangers can do the same thing as them. So they had to have gotten a hold of my tech. It can only be one person." Maya continued to think as she left, and frowns at the site of who was their.

"What is it Tony?" Maya asked the man with a sigh.

Tony walks up to her "Look Maya I just want to talk. Please?" He asked and Maya frowns.

"Why should I. I believe I have good reason to ignore you." Maya retorts.

Tony frowns "You're acting like a child Maya. You can't avoid us forever you know. Especially with all of us in town." he informed her and Maya is silent.

"...I have a job to get to Tony. I don't want to be late." Maya says and passed by Tony going right for her jeep.

"And by the way I'm not avoiding all of you. You know this since you keep in touch with Britney." Maya added on and gets in her jeep heading for the school.

As she did so her phone rang the name Kaitlyn showed up and she puts it on speaker "I'll be there in a few Kaitlyn. You don't have to worry." She says telling her old friend and teammate.

"Good morning to you to girl. You know you always arrive early so...how about a cup of coffee with the rest? Everyone is now in town so thought you might want to get together." Kaitlyn said as Maya smiles.

"Alright. Fine. You got me girl. I'll be at the usual place in a couple minutes." Maya says and hangs up and changes where she was going heading for the local coffee shop.

Maya parked her jeep and walked in a small smile on her face as she saw who all was in there "Hi everyone. Glad to see you all here." she says.

Ian and Aria waved "Hello Maya/It's great to see you." the married couple of the Star Legends rangers said.

The group gave their greetings and all sat down and began talking discussing how they all were doing.

"Wow. That is pretty amazing CJ. Your club has come a long way in just four years." Rafeal says as CJ nods proud.

"Thanks, but it's not as impressive as our two aspiring doctors over there." He says pointing to Ian and Aria.

Sylvie smiles "Well they're not the only one's doing well. Ren and I will be graduating soon enough ourselves."

"Congrats buddy." Evan says. It was then that they noticed while Maya was smiling, but she had been rather silent.

Rafeal looks at her concerned "You alright their Maya? You've been rather silent." he says and Maya sighs.

"Kind of...I saw Tony this morning." Maya says and the group was silent.

Rafeal was the first to speak up "Maya. It's been a long time now. Maybe you should give up this grudge." He suggested.

Maya looks away "I know...but..." she started and Evan sighs.

"Maya. We know you don't want to, but you can't just keep up ignoring them. Especially Tony." Evan says as Maya grabs her wrist feeling a familiar braclet.

"We know you at least still care about Britney." Aria comments.

"Yeah, but...It's hard to forget what I went through." Maya says and then looks at her time and gets up.

"Would love to continue this conversation everyone, but we should be going our separate ways now." she then says and the others notice it to and get up.

"Hey. At least think about it" Ren tells her as they leave.

=LOREKEEPERS=

Maya arrived at the school and heads to the library lost in her own thoughts, but the moment she got there she tensed up a bit and glanced around.

Ever since she was attacked in the library Maya had become much more cautious and had started looking over her shoulder a lot more often.

Maya went through the usual process of starting up everything and began putting away any books that had been turned in.

During this she took a small break to check on the gemstones. She noticed that recently that a particular gemstone had retained it's color if not looking a bit brighter.

"She has her memories all back...Good job Sora." Maya says in a whisper.

She began to go through her small office and stops noticing a small picture. It was of her years back and also in the picture was her original team. She frowns and puts the picture flat on the desk not wanting to take a look at it.

"Why is everything today trying to remind me of my past?" She thought a small bit annoyed at how the day had been going so far.

The bell towards the front of the school Library rang Maya came out and saw that it was Marcus and Logan that were their "Good morning you two. How's it going?" she asked them.

Logan shrugs "So so really. Me and Marcus came here to pick up some books for our history essay." He said and groans.

"Yeah...Ms. Hail is a real stickler for details." Maya said in agreement to Logan's groan.

Marcus nods "So the History section?" Marcus asked.

"Down the left past the fiction books. You hit the encyclopedias then you've gone to far." Maya told them. The boys waved at her then left to find their books.

Maya let out a sigh watching them leave then hears someone clear their throat and turns to see Kaitlyn was there.

"Let me guess. You have the next few periods free?" Maya asked.

"Yep. And seeing your condition I was thinking perhaps we should go to your Oasis for the next few hours. You seem to need the relaxation." Kaitlyn says to her and Maya smirks. Even as a teacher she was still Kaitlyn.

"Okay, but only for a few. We both still have a job to do." Maya said.

The boys passed by leaving with the books and the two older woman left Maya locking up the library.

=LOREKEEPERS=

A bit later the older woman along with Jason, Jazz, Chris, and Sara arrived at The Oasis "You realize that all four of you will likely be getting detention for this." Kaitlyn says.

Sara sighs "Yeah we know, but today has just been...hard. At least getting detention gets me out of having to watch my step sisters after school." Sara said.

Jazz rolls her eyes "They don't seem that bad to me." Jazz said.

"...That's only because they are nice when anyone else is around." Sara muttered.

"Sound like they are contenders for the naughty list." Jason jokes.

Chris sighs "It's not even Christmas time Jason. So why?" He asked.

Kaitlyn smirks "Reminds me of us right Maya?" she asked and Maya nods.

"Yep. Those were some good times." Maya said.

They relaxed at The Oasis as the barrier Maya put up began to ripple "Huh?" Maya noticed the ripple and felt her magic react.

"...Red Knight..." A deep male voice echoes as the illusion of a man clad in black knight armor with gold trim and a deep purple chest plate. He wielded a two handed saber in a single hand.

Maya's eyes widen recognizing the figure "No...It can't be..." She muttered.

The illusion knight points his saber at her "We have unfinished business Red Knight." He said.

Sara looks between Maya and the illusion "Friend of yours?" Sara asked.

"Hardly." Maya said and grits her teeth.

"Why should I fight you...Moudred?!" Maya then says as the improved Moudred waves his hand showing an illusion of several individuals that he had caught.

"I believe your familiar with these individuals Red Knight. Come. If you don't then I will kill each of them. Starting with the gold traitor." He said and Maya took in a sharp breath. The image then vanished.

"...Damn it." Maya muttered as Kaitlyn places a comforting hand on her shoulder then brings her friend in for a hug.

"Well Maya what are you going to do?" Sara asked.

Maya reaches inside her pocket grabbing her Mystic Knight Morphor and Key "I'm going to have to rescue them." She says.

Kaitlyn smiles a bit "Finally letting go?" she asked and Maya looks down.

"Maybe..." Maya says.

"Or maybe it's the fact who Moudred is threatening to kill first." Jazz says as Jason nods in agreement.

"Yeah. Whoever this 'gold traitor' is you obviously care about them." Chris said having noticed her sharp breath she took earlier.

"Maybe..." Maya repeated biting her lip

"Thinking back now though. I guess you and the others were right. I-I just had trouble letting go, but they are still my team, and that includes the guy who took my place." Maya added on.

"I was stupid. I am still loyal to my team. To both of them." She finished.

The teens smiled glad to see their mentor was starting to actually forgive what had happened to her in the past. They also saw how ferociously she valued her loyalty. It was then that their morphors began to shine.

"Another True Power." Jason says.

Chris nods "And I think I know which one this is." He said as the four teens looked to Maya and for a brief moment she was in an illusion of Mystic Knight Red then it faded.

Kaitlyn smirked knowing how Maya got when she was this determined "Alright. Well let's go." She said.

Maya nods and leads them out of the Oasis and gets on her communicator "Abby. I need you to send out one of the ranger drones and have them find Britney." Maya says.

"Got it. I'm guessing something has happened?" Abby asked.

"Yeah, but we need to know exactly where she is. I'll tell you what happened later." Maya said.

"Okay one moment...drone is deployed." She says.

Abby then gasped "And I already got a hit. She and a few others are being held just east of you on the border between California and Nevada." Abby said.

"Thanks Abby." Maya says.

She got into her jeep and signaled for some to get into her jeep and then a few got into Kaitlyn's car.

=LOREKEEPERS=

At the site Moudred paced as the former Mystic Knight rangers were all being held together by magic binds created by the black knight.

Britney sighed "This isn't how I wanted to spend today." She says.

"Agreed." Tony said with a sigh and looks to his brother and silver ranger. He had taken a bit of a beating when Moudred had appeared to take them.

Speaking of the knight he was pacing and then stopped seeming to have gotten impatient "Seems my reason for keeping you all alive isn't coming. Well then..." He says and looks to Tony.

"You and your brother will be first." He said and raised his blade preparing to strike.

"Stop right where you are Moudred!" Maya shouts walking into the warehouse the teens and Kaitlyn with her.

The knight turned to her as the rest of Maya's old team saw her and were both surprised and happy.

Maya returned their look with a familiar half smile before looking to Moudred serious "Okay. You wanted me, and you got me. Not that I expect you to let them go, but I'll say it anyways. Let them go." Maya says.

Moudred laughs "I need the insurance red knight. I owe the ones that resurrected me the heads of who you're mentoring. Yet I care less about that. I am just here to settle things." He said pointing his blade at her.

Maya sighs knowing that it wouldn't be easy and each ranger takes out their morphors "Mystic Knights, Unite!/Star Legends, Let's Come Together!/Unlock The Legend!" Each one called out.

Standing in front of Moudred now was Mystic Knight Red, Lore Keeper Crimson, Lore Keeper Purple, Lore Keeper Cyan, Lore Keeper White, and Star Legends Purple.

The Lore Keeper morphors glowed showing some familiar ranger forms "Unlock The Legend!" They called out and transformed into Mystic Knight Blue (Jason), Mystic Knight Green (Chris), Mystic Knight Black (Sara), and Mystic Knight Pink (Jazz) each one drawing their blades.

As they did this Moudred snapped his fingers calling upon a group of Elite Eraser's to deal with the Lore Keepers and Kaitlyn while he charged directly at Maya and the two clashed blades.

Sara was on her own fighting against two different Elite Eraser's each with a larger blade of their own. One swung at her and she ducked under and jabbed with the hilt of the blade to the Elite's gut and then block's an oncoming swing from the other one.

"Have to thank Lauren after this. Her training is doing me wonders." Sara thought and then pushed the Elite back and preformed some quickly timed thrusts before kicking the other away.

She stabbed her blade into one of the monsters before sliding her finger down a section of the hilt "Bye bye bad guy." Sara says and pulls be blade out swinging it point blank as both the blade and the black slash wave cut right through the first Elite.

Sara turned to the other one and got into her ready stance to continue fighting the second Elite.

Jazz and Kaitlyn were working together fighting the two Elite's sent their way "Well this aren't her goons, but I will say this. They are certainly more of a handful." Kaitlyn says calmly

Jazz sent out a pink slash wave from her blade, but it only managed to knock them back "Yeah. Even for Elite Eraser's I thought these would be done by now. Looks like they're actually a lot tougher since the last time we saw them." Jazz said and kicks hers away.

The teen and woman watched their opponents preparing to counter them when need be "This might actually take us a bit." Kaitlyn says.

"Yep, and if I get out of this I'm seeing a detention in my future..." Jazz says joking.

Kaitlyn laughs as she blocks the attack from the Elite "Don't worry I'll pardon you. Just will say you were helping me with something...Which is true right now." She says and backs away standing beside Jazz who went back to normal.

"Alright let's wrap this up." Jazz says and swings her whip wrapping the two monsters up giving Kaitlyn time to finish the monsters with her own weapon.

Jason and Chris were working together to fight the remaining two Elite's and both blocked the opposing creature's blades.

"So...You asked Eva out on a date yet?" Jason asked as Chris ducked under a blow glancing to Jason.

"Now is certainly not the time for this." Chris said and slashes at the Elite.

"What about you? I've seen you have been eyeballing a particular girl on the team." he then added on.

Jason stabbed the monster "...You know you're right. Now isn't the time for this kind of conversation." He said as under the helmet he was blushing and Chris was grinning.

The two boys got together and stuck down the first Elite before turning to the other "Alright, but if you ask me anymore about Eva I'll just tease you right back." Chris said.

The two then charged at the other Elite prepared to strike it down like they had the other one.

Blades clashed as Maya and Moudred were evenly matached in there own sword fight neither having landed a blow as of yet. This troubled Moudred as he hadn't seen this knight that strong.

"What's the matter? Am I stronger than you thought?" Maya asked calmly. For a brief moment the image of a taller male Mystic Knight ranger replaced her before returning to normal.

"You...you have that same infuriating spirit as that infuriating king." Moudred says.

"Say what you will, but it's more than just that. I have one last trick up my sleeve." Maya says as her morphor changed and she takes out the key which is engulfed in fire and vanishes becoming another key.

"Red Fire Warrior Activate!" She called out and was engulfed in a vortex of flames and stood in her Battlizer form golden knights sword in hand.

Moudred lunged at Maya who propelled herself into the air and was flying above held out the hand that wasn't holding the blade and shot a burst of fire at him. He knocked the flame away with his blade it nearly hitting her old team.

"Face it Moudred. This is the end for you." Maya says flatly.

"How...just how are you this strong?! You could barely defeat that copy!" Moudred says.

"All I can say is that I've gone through a lot to get to the point I am now at Moudred." Maya retorts grabbing her blade with both hands raising it high.

"Now stay what you should always have been. A bad memory." She continues as the blade became engulfed in a flaming aura.

"Camelot Blaze!" She swung the blade in large flaming motions most of which Moudred was able to block except for the final stike when she made the flaming aure even bigger and hotter cutting right through his blade and through Moudred.

"Checkmate Moudred." Maya muttered smiling a bit as the others finished with the rest of the Elite and went to help Maya with untying her old teammates each of which she hugged glad to see them safe.

=LOREKEEPERS=

Maya brought her old team to the HQ of the team she was mentoring each one of them impressed "You certainly are living up to being a mentor Maya. Just like they thought you would." Britney says referring to the Star Legends team

Maya nods "Yeah. I've had some experience thanks to Merlin and Ingrid having mentored me." Maya said.

Nervously Samantha walked up to Maya and hugged her "I-I'm sorry that we lost touch Maya. I wish that I could take back my actions." She says and Maya returns the hug.

"It's alright Sammy. I'm sorry to. I've been letting a grudge get the better of me for five years longer than it should have." Maya says as James and Johnny smile a bit.

"Now that's the Maya we know." Johnny says.

As Maya talked with the rest Joel nudged Tony's side and gave him a stern 'talk to her' look. Tony sighs as Joel walks forward and gives Maya a brief hug before separating and Tony walks forward.

"Hey." Tony says and Maya smirks.

"Hey yourself." she says.

Tony sighs "Look Maya I'm really..." He starts and Maya holds up her hand to stop him.

"I know what you're going to say, and I accept your apology." Maya said smiling a bit and chuckles.

"But if you want another chance with me your going to have to win me over again." She added on.

Tony smiles "I think I can do that." he says as Britney raises an eyebrow.

"While there's another guy interested in her as well?" Britney said.

Abby nods knowing who she meant "Right. Speaking of which Maya...aren't you going to be late for your date with Leonidas?" Abby asked and Maya's eyes widen.

"Ahh! Can't believe I forgot about that!" She says and teleports out.

Joel looked to Tony who had a determined look on his face "So your going to go after her again right?" He asked.

"Yep." Tony replied.

"Even when there's someone else she might like?" Johnny added on.

"Yep."

"...Well we know she's at least still interested in you." Samantha says.

"Yep."

The rest of the group look at one another and shake there head smiling "Well looks like Leonidas and Tony both have a common person they like. Well at least things are getting better for her." Abby thought.


And that's the end of Episode 13 as well as this arc. I wanted to make this chapter the finale of the 'Warriors' arc because I wanted to do something different for it. I know I don't often focus on Maya because their is a whole other story by a different author that has focus chapters for her, but because when I do focus on her it's often something to do with her grudge. People can hold grudges for a long time, and while some grow toxic others just simmer. Maya's only simmered, and had begun to boil before she finally let go realizing that holding a grudge wasn't helping her anymore. Anyways I hope you enjoyed The Warriors arc, and I hope you look forward to the TG arc. Why is it called the TG arc? Well you'll just have to wait and see. So until next time this has been decode9!
