AV walked out a sports store with new riding gear for herself, and was greeted by a surprising site "Abby? What are you doing here?" AV asked as she saw Abby in her teenage form giving her a really sour frown.
"Why do you think I'm here Avalon?" Abby asked her sourly and sounding more than a little angry at AV who flinched at the use of her first name.
"I-I honestly can't say I know why." AV said and Abby then slaps her.
AV dropped her stuff and clutched her cheek "Don't be an idiot Avalon. I'm here because of Jasmine." Abby says as AV looks at her confused.
"Do you know that she hasn't been staying at home these past few nights?" Abby asked her and AV shakes her head.
"Well she hasn't been. Ever since the events of us teaming up with the Star Descendants and Mystic Knights from another dimension Jasmine has been staying their nightly." Abby continues on.
"W-Why would she do that? Is that why she's been so tired these past few days?" AV asked and Abby nods in response to the second question.
"As for why well when me and your mother confronted her about it she told us it was to 'watch her sister and be able to protect her better'." Abby said.
AV's eyes turned bright orange and pink registering Abby telling the truth and her own surprise. AV bit her lip and looks away from Abby with shame.
"I didn't think what I said got to her that much." AV thought.
Abby frowned, and while she wasn't a mind reader she could tell what she was thinking "Well what you said affected her greatly Avalon. You were able to forgive me, but why can't you look past Jasmine's past and forgive her?" Abby asked then walked away from her.
"T-That's not the problem..." AV thought as her mind seems to go back to the past recalling everything Jasmine did when she was a bully.
AV grabbed her phone and scrolled to a certain contact who eventually picked up "...Hey Alvin...I-I need someone to talk to. I think I did something wrong." AV says.

Sora was out spending time with Eva, Sara, and Jazz as she had a depressed sigh the impact of Cassie actually being missing having finally hit her.
"Hey it'll be fine. Maya is doing all she can in order to find her Sora. If anyone can find her it's Maya." Eva says confidently.
Sora cracks a smile "Thanks Eva. Your always full of faith." She says.
Jazz still looked depressed still recalling her argument and Sara looks between them all "Okay girls. That's enough with all this gloom. Didn't we come out her to enjoy ourselves without worrying about that kind of stuff?" Sara says hands on her hips.
This caused the other girls to nod and crack varying smiles "Sora! Long time no see little pup." A mature female voice calls out and Sora gasps looking over at the voice.
It was a woman slightly older than Maya wearing a yellow athletic shirt with a matching blouse trimmed with gold. She wore an army style jacket with gold buttons and trim in addition to brown combat boots.
"Little pup?" Sara asked and Jazz giggles at the nickname causing Sora to blush in embarrassment.
"Terra! Why do you insist on calling me that? It's so embarrassing!" Sora says and the woman named Terra laughs as another familiar woman joined them.
"Well that's the first time I've heard you know Sora, Terra." The woman says and Jazz looks over smiling a bit.
"Hello Ray." She says greeting the woman.
"Hello Jasmine. Funny running into you here when I just intended to meet up with Terra." Ray says to the teens.
"Well since we're all together how about a little girls day? I'll pay." Terra suggested as Sora looked at her concerned.
"What about your kids Terra? Who's watching them?" Sora asked.
Terra give a mischievous smirk "Why your parents of course." She said and Sora groans suddenly really glad that her and the rest of the girls decided to take a day together.

At the base Judariot was observing the rangers and hums watching "The blue ranger has yet to forgive and reforge the bonds with her sister, and the red is still pained by the past. Hmm..." He thought and smiled.
"I've done this one more than one occasion, but there is a difference this time. No one knows the demon plaguing the red ranger except herself. So while my first target could potentially be freed the second won't be as lucky." He thought then looked to Yimsim.
"Yimsim. We are going after the rangers." He said tucking a book he had into his tattered robes and grabbing what could only be described as a black scepter with a silver and sapphire sphere.
"Any particular reason master?" Yimsim asked.
"Indeed there is. Two of the rangers are of special interest." He told Yimsim as he grabbed a special jar.
"I'd stop right there if I were you." Cassie and the other two fallen rangers at her side came out stopping them and Judariot looks at her with a glare.
"What do you want?" He asked as Cassie smirked.
"You know that if just the two of you go you'll be beaten before you can even grab your targets." She says and he stops knowing that she was right.
"Then what might you suggest?" Yimsim asked and Fallen Black snaps his fingers as a creature comes out from the shadows
"This monster is unique. While he shares the name of one of your old allies he is different." Fallen White says.
Yimsim watched his master who smirked "My my. Isn't this surprising. Tell me were you thinking of using this monster yourself?" Judariot asked Cassie who looks away smirking.
"Perhaps. Anyways since I believe I know who your targeting this monster can help, but you will still need a distraction while you and our creation go after your targets." She says and morphs into Fallen Silver.
Yimsim nods to her and the six villains left.

At the same time that the girls were enjoying their girls day out the guys were together playing some one on one basketball. It was Logan and Jason facing off while Chris and Marcus were on the scoreboard keeping track of them.
It was currently 6-4 with Jason leading there game "Ha ha! Come on Logan. I thought you'd actually make this tougher for me." Jason said with a smirk as Logan passed the ball to Jason as it was his turn.
"Don't get cocky Jason. I can still come back from this." He retorts going on the defensive and Jason backs up.
"You say that now, but..." Jason starts and shots from back where he was smirking as the ball went in.
"I believe actions speak louder than words. Three points!" He continues as Logan huffs.
"One more point and Jason will win this game." Chris said and Marcus nods.
"Not to mention their little bet." Marcus added on.
Logan looked over "Shut up!" he shouts and the rest laugh.
"Hey Jason...I don't mean to be rude, but why do you always have to play the joker? It's pretty obvious it's just an act." Logan then decided to ask as Jason passed him the ball.
"I guess you can just say it's just a...defensive mechanism. A mask if you will." Jason replied.
"A mask I've gotten use to wearing. Hides my pain well." He added on.
"Pain?" The other males asked.
"Yeah. After losing my dad something just...well broke." Jason said and blocks Logan's shot snatching the ball from him and shots it scoring the winning point.
"Speaking of going broke...I'm thinking the barbecue place that recently opened." he then added on as the others watched him.
"Only Jason would go from talking about a death to food." All three thought as Logan groans knowing how much Jason was capable of eating.
The group began to walk off when suddenly all three Fallen Rangers appeared in front of them "Oh no no no. You're not going anywhere yet." Fallen Silver said.
The four look to one another as Logan holds up his morphor "Guys. Fallen Rangers at the basketball court. Get here quick." Logan calls out.
"Alright we're on...our..." Sora started before her voice cut off.
Before Logan could call out and ask for how she was the Fallen Rangers charged at them and all four morphed to fight back against the three. They were soon joined by AV who was in her Prologue form the guys changing into it as well.
As the fight went on it was seeming all to easy. They soon had the Fallen Rangers on the defensive, and were actually driving them back as they changed into different ranger forms to handle them.
"Okay. Let's end this." Logan says as the call upon the Lore Blaster and got into position. As they prepared to fire it the were hit by a black light that went off causing a large explosion and tossing them back and canceled their morphs.
Fallen Silver looks over "I was wondering when you would get here Judariot." she says as AV was utterly surprised by this.
"J-Judariot?!" she exclaimed barely managing to push herself up and saw exactly who Fallen Silver said and there was also Yimsim with him and another monster.
This monster looked like some kind of hybrid. While it seemed humanoid it was anything but human like. The upper half of it's body was some kind of hog or wild boar and the head resembled an octopus with eight long and muscular tentacles while it had human legs wrapped in animal fur. In two of it's tentacles was some kind of blasters, but what was wrapped in two of it's other tentacles had them all worried.
"Sora! Jazz!" They called out trying to push themselves up.
Fallen Silver see's this and nods to Judariot who uses the scepter to blast them yet again.
"I'd stay down if I were you. We'll be leaving with our prizes now." Yimsim says and they all teleport off away with the two.

At the HQ Abby was tending to and forcing out whatever had knocked out the rest of the rangers including Terra and Ray who had been brought with them.
"I can't believe it. Judariot is still alive, but yet at the same time he promised that he wasn't done." AV says as the rest were awake and now knew what had happened.
Ray was looking more than a bit peeved "I hate that guy. Can't he be like any other good villain and just stay dead?" she says annoyed as Terra nods in agreement.
"So...you know that guy?" Sara asked as AV, and Eva nodded.
"His name is Judariot, and he was one of the Elemental Saints villains. Speaking of which..." Eva says turning to Ray and Terra.
"It is good to see the both of you again." She added on as Ray smirks.
"Can say the same thing to all of you." Ray said.
The rest of the rookies looked to AV and Eva then to the two guests as Maya came up "Logan, Chris, Marcus, Jason, Sara I want you to meet Terra and Ray. Elemental Saint Gold and Purple respectively. Also Beast Warrior Yellow in the case of Terra." Maya said.
"N-Nice to meet you." Sara said as the others give their own greetings as well.
Abby watched them "So what do you think that Judariot has planned for Sora and Jasmine?" Abby asked worried.
Terra frowns and glances to Ray "You saw what he had to didn't you Ray?" Terra asked and Ray nods.
"Yep. He's planning on stealing their spirits." Ray said.
Logan raised an eyebrow "Okay...What could stealing their spirits possibly do?" He asked.
Eva looks down "It'll turn them to stone Logan. It'll petrify them." Eva said.
"That's not good..." Jason says worried.
"Not good is putting it lightly. It'll be like there in a endless void. Wandering till they are eventually woken." Terra said.
"Well what do we do?" Sara asked.
"We try and find them. Preferably before they are petrified." Ray said. Little did they all know was that was exactly what was about to happen.
=LOREKEEPERS=
In the remains of the Underground Abyss the two rangers were strapped to pillars with the Fallen Rangers, Judariot, Yimsim, and the monster know as Neo Pontix were about to begin their plan.
"Ugh...what...where?" Sora groans waking up as did Jazz.
"I was wondering when you would wake." Judariot said and Sora glares.
"How? How are you still alive?" She demanded.
"Oh you mean the little show I put on twelve years ago to fool you all I was dead?" He retorts and then grins knowing more than he let on.
Jazz glared as well "I'm guess he's someone from the past right?" Jazz asked Sora who nods.
"Judariot. Enemy of the Elemental Saint Rangers and overall pain in the butt." Sora said.
Judariot sighs "Say what you will, but it won't save you from what I'm about to do." He said revealing a certain jar and Sora pales.
"Your spirits...are mine." He says as the jar and they glow. The two girls start to feel an intense pain as their spirits were being ripped out of them. They bite their lips to try and stop themselves from screaming, but it was useless as the two were eventually screaming and starting to turn to stone.
As they did so Sora turns catching sight of something or rather 'someone' that shouldn't be there "C...ass...ie?" she says before her spirit was fully taken and both girls were turned to stone.
Judariot closed the jar and then looks to the rest "Prepare yourselves. The former Elemental Saints may not be able to do anything, but any additional red and purple rangers will have felt that due to their link." He said.
Cassie nods and looks to the other Fallen Rangers "Let's prepare. Station Erasers and Elite's around the peremiter. More Elite's farther in." she ordered them and the two nodded.
=LOREKEEPERS=
In two different town particular rangers felt an intense pain hit their bodies. The first of the two towns was that of Clover Hill.
A particular group of teens were huddle close to two of their friends who were recovering from the intense pain they had just felt "Sora...Sora is in trouble!" The pink clad girl and Sora's cousin Melody Rays said.
"Yeah. I could hear a wolf crying out in pain." the red clad boy nicknamed RJ says.
"What?" The others asked as one of their mentors was with them and she frowns and knows what it was that was happening.
"Head for Legacy Hills. The both of you." She said.
"Jenny?" They both asked as Jenny looks down.
"When a ranger shares the same color, zord, or are related that ranger will feel a portion of what they are feeling. It means that ranger is in trouble. Go." their mentor Jenny says to RJ and Melody.
The two looked at one another as Melody takes out her phone to call her mother to pick them up and take them to Legacy Hills while RJ took out his phone to call Noelle.
Meanwhile in the town of Reefside Noelle and her friend Abu had recovered as well with Conner supporting her up.
"Dad? What happened?" Noelle asked and then her phone rang and she saw that it was RJ calling her and she picked up putting it on speaker.
"Noelle. Me and Melody are heading for Legacy Hills. I just want to know if you are okay." He asked.
"If by okay you mean her and Abu recovering a sudden bout of pain. Then yeah she's okay." Scarlet says sarcasticly.
"Sorry, and wait did you say both Noelle and Abu were in pain?" he asked.
"Yes, and why are you asking?" Kayori asked him.
"Because this isn't some ordinary pain we felt." he said and Conner knew.
"Sora and Jasmine. Their the red and purple Lore Keeper rangers." He said having seen this happen before when a ranger was in trouble in the past.
"They're in trouble aren't they?" Conner then asked.
"Well we just thought it was Sora given that I'm a red ranger, and Melody is her cousin. Though if Abu was in pain to then it's likely." RJ told them.
"Melody's mom is picking us up, and then we'll come through to pick up Noelle and Abu. Whatever is going on they're going to need us." he finished and hung up.
Noelle and Abu looked to one another before looking to Conner "Don't get yourself hurt Noelle, and be safe." Conner said giving her a hug.
"Thanks dad. I'll be fine, and after this I think I'll invite the whole Lore Keepers team here for a nice break." Noelle said.
Abu stood close "I'll keep an eye on her." he promised.
The two waited and when the black jeep of Melody's mother pulled up they got in the back to join the rest and headed off towards Legacy Hills.
And that is the end of Episode 15, and the start of the Elemental Saints tribute which I had been looking forward to doing for a long time. Yeah Judariot may be up to his old tricks, but now he has more help, and furthermore they are expecting the rangers to be coming with backup. I couldn't resist bringing in those four rangers in particular especially given this kind of situation has happened before. Also let's not forget about what Sora saw...yeah that's going to hurt. Anyways next chapter the group will come together, and hopefully we will have a rescue underway along with a few battles. So until next time this has been decode9!
