The school day was winding down as Sora and the rest of the teen left the lunch room. Some time has since passed ever since the kidnappings, and while there had been monster attacks there had been no sign of the Fallen Rangers again.

It was also becoming apparent to AV that someone had been observing her as she often thought she caught sight of someone, but as soon as she caught a glimpse the figure was gone.

Sora and AV had also become much closer since there past was cleared up, and were about as close as AV was to Jazz.

"Hey you alright there Sora?" Marcus asked when he noticed that Sora was staring off into the distance as if lost in her own thoughts.

"Huh?" Sora said coming out of thoughts.

"You seemed rather well...tense lately. Ever since you were rescued actually." Logan added on.

"Yeah...Sorry. I've just had...something on my mind." Sora said as the image of Cassie being at where she was held made her wince. That look of joy at her being petrifed confused her and honestly it was breaking her.

Yet that wasn't the only thing on her mind "I-I think I'm going to talk to my parents today. About my powers." Sora tells them.

Sara frowns a bit "Are you sure about this? They may not know anything." She says as Sora shakes her head.

"Normally I'd agree, but..." Sora said then sighs.

"I think maybe the do know...no I don't think. I know that they know something." she then added on.

"Alright. Well if you need us we'll be at A&C after school. Maya is giving a break from training. You know to prepare for...that." Eva says glancing at AV as she finished.

AV sighs knowing what she meant. Sometime after Christmas the trial for the ones that kidnapped her along with two others would start.

"You guys go ahead and enjoy yourself. I'm going to see my parents. Dad said he'd be helping out mom today at the store." Sora said and they all left for there classes.

=LOREKEEPERS=

After classes released Sora ran out of the school headed for her mother's electronic's store. It was well organized and she saw that her parents were managing multi tasking.

Rena was the first to notice her daughter come in "Oh hello Sora. What brings you to the shop?" She asked as she was feeding baby Rachel.

"Well mom...I was wanting to talk to you and dad." Sora says as Zane comes around the corner.

"Really? About what?" Zane asked setting a few things down.

"About well...Angel Grove, both of you, and myself. Why exactly we were really there four years ago." Sora asked.

Zane and Rena looked at each other hesitant and Sora sighs "I remember everything about back then mom, dad." she then tells them.

Zane sighs and looks to Rena "It's time Rena." Zane said as Rena looks down and sighs then looks up signaling the employee's.

"Jackson you take charge! I don't want to hear any kind of problems while I'm gone." She called out to them.

"Yes ma'am!" The employee's said and got back to work as Zane and Rena took Sora to Rena's office.

"So...where should we start?" Zane asked looking at Rena as Sora looked between them.

"Perhaps from the start if you don't mind? Maybe explain why I have these strange powers." Sora suggested as her parents sigh.

"Those actually come from the both of us. Your power over fire comes from your father, and metal is from me." Rena explained to her as Sora looked at her parents confused.

"So...does that mean neither of you are human, and that I'm not either?" Sora asked.

Zane laughs "No no. Me, your mother, and you are one hundered percent human. You see if I'm going to explain this I'm going to have to go back to my high school years." Zane said as Sora groans not expecting for a trip down memory lane as she decided to take Rachel out of her carrier.

"You see one year in high school was different from the others. It started when a creature called General Dyme and some creatures I won't mention showed up at the school." Zane started.

"Oh right...dad was a ranger." Sora recalled.

"Me and some others possesed power over some elements, and were chosen to become the Element Fusion Power Rangers. We were gifted with control over a specific element." He explained.

"When we started we were actually a few short. A few days later a new girl joined the school." Zane said glancing to Rena who was blushing recalling the bump that pretty much introduced her to her husband.

"She was witty, sarcastic, and had a lot of sass to her, but not as much as your Aunt Zara. She also turned out to wield the element of metal, and was the Silver Element Fusion ranger." Zane explained as Sora turns to her mom.

"You were a ranger to mom!" she said surprised.

"Twice actually." Rena said.

"Still...why didn't you ever tell me?!" Sora exclaimed, but stopped when Rachel began to squirm and looked about ready to cry. It took a few minutes, but Rachel was calmed down and they could continue.

Rena looks down sighing "Because the power is sometimes attracted to those that have ranger heritage Sora. I wanted you to have a normal life, but that didn't happen." Rena said.

Zane nods "We both know that you're a ranger Sora. I've actually just recalled, and I can't believe how dense I was not to see the similarites to your mother back then." Zane says recalling when he was brought to the present from the past along with other red rangers.

Sora rubs her head nervously "Yeah...anyways about my other concerns?" Sora asked.

"Right. Four years ago we were in Angel Grove because of a ranger emergency." Zane said.

Rena pats her husbands shoulder "You see nine ranger mentors were taken hostage, and the rest came together to try and form a plan to retrive them. That is when the Star Legends rangers were put together." Rena tells her and Sora nods now knowing why it felt like she knew them.

"There main villain came to Earth to not only seek out Princess Liberty, but she wanted to find the Angel Princess, and Phoenix Priestess and destroy them." Zane said.

"Angel Princess, Phoenix Priestess..." Sora muttered and eyes widened looking to her parents.

"Yes. You and AV, but we didn't find that out till later." Rena said.

Zane nods "In the final battle she protected you both, but it was that first meeting. When you first met her and helped her she passed on the powers she was guarding." Zane said and Sora recalled it. When she and AV helped Liberty out she had felt this warm powerful feeling flow into her.

"And that's the whole truth." Rena told her daughter as both parents watched for her reaction.

Sora looked at her parents for a moment before looking down eyes closed. Both of her parents had been rangers in the past, and while it was her mother who mainly wanted to keep it a secret she now knew why. They were afraid that she might become a ranger, and now that she was they were afraid for her safety.

It also meant that they had probably been involved in getting Robyn off the team along with her cousin Zack, and 'big sister' Roxy.

"I...It's alright. I think I get it now." Sora said looking up at her parents.

"Something happened while you were both rangers that scared mom badly right? That's why she never wanted me to know about you both being rangers." She stated.

Rena nods recalling the final battle and Zane's final gambit of using all the elements at once "When you were in the hospital, and I heard how you were hurt I was worried. I nearly lost your father once. I thought I was going to lose you." Rena says.

Zane kisses Rena's cheek to calm and relax Rena so she wouldn't start crying "Oh mom..." Sora muttered.

It was then that she saw both her parents having see through images of Element Fusion Red and Element Fusion Silver over them. Sora smiled a bit imagining how they were when they were younger.

It was then that her morphor starts to go off and Sora picks up "Yes? What's up?" Sora asked.

"We've got a really strong monster showing up downtown Sora. The others are on their way." Raine said.

"Okay. I'm heading there now." Sora said and shuts off the communication and turns to leave as she puts Rachel back into her carrier.

"Sora wait!" Rena called out to her daughter and comes out from behind her desk.

Sora turned to her and was surprised by a hug "M-Mom?"

"Sora...I know I've never said this enough to you, but I love you, and I'm really proud of you." Rena said as Zane gives her a thumbs up in agreement.

"Knock em dead rookie." Zane says smirking as Sora smiles and breaks off from her mothers hug. She breaks off into a run headed out.

Rena watched her leave a small smile on her face "Do you think she'll be fine?" Rena asked.

"Yep. She's our daughter after all." Zane said as Rena smirks.

"Now your just sounding cocky hot stuff." Rena joked and then turns to take care of Rachel.

Zane smirks and heads out to finishing helping out in the shop silently wishing Sora the best of luck.

=LOREKEEPERS=

Sora arrived at the scene of the fight and saw many Elite's fighting against the rangers as Sora looked around for the one in charge.

"Hmm...So your the leader?" A female voice asked and Sora turned around coming face to face with a cloaked female figure. Before Sora could even say anything a pink fireball was shot from under the figure's cloak and hit her with enough force to knock her to the ground.

"Okay...That was cheap." Sora said starting to get up, but then rolled to the side when another pink fireball was shot at her.

Sora got up and dodged them calling her morphor into morph mode and pulled out her data card inserting it.

Sora somersaults forward "Unlock The Legend!" She called out completing her morph and stuck the woman cutting the cloak and hitting the figure underneath.

"Urk! You actually got me. Not bad girly." The cloaked figure says her voice hiding a hint of surprise.

Sora readied her blade "Who are you?!" Sora demanded.

The figure chuckles "Since you asked me so nicely I think it's best if you finally know what your up against." The figure says and throws off her cloak.

What was revealed was a young woman with long brown hair that had orange fox ears on on her head and red eyes filled that looked filled with many different animalistic emotions. She had orange fur covering her upper body with a fox like lower body and a tail to go with it. Her hands had very sharp finernails and bits of bone stuck out from the knuckles curling out like the nails. She had red pink gems embedded into her hands, feet, and legs.

"I am Vulpecula. One of the Cursed Trinity." She says and summons fire to her hands and throws it at her.

"Pleasure to meet you!" She says giving a hysterial giggle as she did so.

AV, Logan, and Marcus noticed that she was in trouble and went to help Sora as she dodged another attempt to burn her.

AV fired her blaster as Logan got in front of Sora and brought his gauntlets together to form a shield at the next incoming fireball.

After it was blocked Marcus was in close and swinging his blade forcing Vulpecula into a retreat.

"Thanks guys." Sora said getting up.

"No problem. So this is one of our big baddies right? She looks the part." Logan asked as Vulpecula scowls at them.

"Yep, and I think I know just how to handle them." Sora said as there morphors glowed and some particular data cards came to them.

"Unlock The Legend!" They four called out turning into Element Fusion Red (Sora), Element Fusion Blue (AV), Element Fusion Black (Logan), and Element Fusion Yellow (Marcus).

Sora brought her hands together gathering her fire in her hands and flings it out grabbing the end making a flame like whip. She flung the flame whip forward striking the cursed fox like creature.

Next was AV who gathered water and threw them like waves at her.

"Wow. These powers are pretty amazing." Logan says as he used the power of shadows to disappear into Vulpecula's shadow and somehow began to attack her shadow which hurt Vulpecula.

Marcus was last as he created a huge flash of light blinding the cursed fox's sensetive eyes.

"Aghh!" She cried out in pain as they all came together.

"Now let's see how she likes this." Sora muttered looking to the others who she signals to follow her lead.

"Elements Among Us, Legendary Element Fusion!" The four called out turning into the upgraded form of the Element Fusion Rangers gaining asian style armor on top of what they had and a few smaller additions.

The four got together and focused on cordinating there powers in pairs. Sora was making her fire as hot as possible as AV mixed it with the water she using which was inceasinly becoming hotter and hotter to the point it was beyond scalding.

Meanwhile Logan and Marcus were balancing the light and darkness and focusing on giving it a physical form which eventually came in the form of a orange energy blade that had gold and black energy mixing in it.

"Fusion Move: Aqua Magma!" AV and Sora called out together as they flung the combined moved out in unison.

"Fusion Move: Dawn Dusk Saber!" Logan and Marcus called out and swung the saber out causing it to extend out quickly.

The water like magma and saber hit the cursed woman solidly, but it was not enough to beat her as when the steam cleared she was still standing there bleeding.

"Ugh...Nice shot rangers, but this isn't the first time we've come across your kind." She said and vanished along with the rest of the Elites. As she did so though the ground shakes as the Falldown Megazord appeared.

"They're back." Jason said with worry. Sure they beat them last time, but that didn't make it any less worrisome about how powerful the Fallen Rangers were.

Sora looked at it and grits her teeth "I'll handle this." Sora said making it obvious that she didn't want the others in the upcoming battle.

"Unite The Legend!" Sora called out forming the Grand Story Ultrazord and taking control having her blade out.

"What's up with her?" Sara asked as AV watched worried now knowing for sure that Sora knows the truth about Fallen Silver possibly.

The FDM was hit to the ground hard with a shield bash by the GSU and Fallen Silver growls looking to her allies.

"Fine. She wants to see how serious we can be...Fallen White, Fallen Black. Engage Zord mode." She tells the two who immideatly eject themselves and turn in a large mechanical winged serpent and mechanical ape.

"Engage Sin Ultrazord Sequence." Fallen Silver called out. The white serpent's head came off and hollows out becoming a new helmet for it while the tail attached to the back and seperates becoming jet like boosters. The chest and back of the ape detached and attached to the front and back forming even thicker armor. The two arms combined forming an even bigger arm as one detached and the oversized arm attached. The rest of it attaches to the helmet making it looked like a winged crown.

"Sin Ultrazord, Ready." Fallen Silver said from inside the SU.

The two Ultrazords were staring each other down like how the two operating them were doing as well.

"...Why?" Sora muttered. It was at that moment that SU moved and flung it's giant fist at the GSU. Sora managed to move the shield up in time to block it, but the force of the hit was strong enough to make the GSU skid back a lot.

"Say something ranger?" Fallen Silver taunts.

"...Stop...I know who you are." Sora said as the SU swings it's buster sword and Sora block it with the shield again.

"You know nothing!" Fallen Silver snarls.

"Yes I do Cassie!" Sora shouts and Fallen Silver goes silent.

"...So you know." Fallen Silver AKA Cassie said no longer hiding her voice like she has been.

"I saw you there...when I was being petrifed." Sora said.

"Why are you doing this?!" Sora demanded.

Cassie scoffs "You. Your the reason I'm doing this!" She retorts.

"H-Huh?" Sora said confused, and didn't see the punch coming and the GSU was knocked to the ground.

"For days I wondered why this could happen to me. I had nightmares showing the worst possible things that could happen. Rejection." Cassie said as the SU swings it's blade, but is stopped by the Grand Blade

"Then I realized something...something I never thought I'd consider. That you never cared in the first place!" Cassie yells.

"What would make you think that?!" Sora demanded as the GSU got up and parries the one handed strike from the buster sword of the SU.

"Because why would you like me! You never did, and suddenly after you reveal your actually a girl you say you start to like me!" Cassie shouted at her.

"I told you why!" Sora countered as the two Ultrazords clashed blades the sound of metal hitting metal echoing along with their converastion.

"Well I believed you at first, but it's been clear for a while now...you never cared. You just wanted to make me feel like you cared before you would leave me. Just like every other one I've been with." Cassie said as the SU kicked the GSU.

"I'd never do that! Why would I do that?!" Sora asked.

"I realized that to have someone actually care for you is the most dangerous thing in the world. Because the more someone cares the more likely they are or have betrayed you." Cassie said to her.

"You wanted away from me so badly you'd fake amnesia just to get away with it." She continued as the SU buster sword continued to bash against the GSU bb shield.

"Cassie..." Sora muttered tearing up.

"I'm sorry if that's what you think..." She continued as the GSU avoids another strike before hitting the SU with it's blade multiple times.

"But it's not true. Please stop." Sora said.

Cassie growls "Never! My masters will purge this world and then...and then I'll be done with you." She said as the SU buster sword glowed green gathering power. The GSU prepared it's own singature attack.

"Bad Story Ending!"

"Fairy Tail Ending!"

The two blades collided and broke upon impact and Cassie growls "This isn't over Sora! It's not over by a longshot!" Cassie yells and she and the SU vanish.

=LOREKEEPERS=

Most of the group minus Sora was at The Great Library telling Maya what had happened.

Maya looks down sadly "I thought so..." she says.

"Wait, you knew it was her!" Logan says after they hear her and Abby glares at her.

"She had a feeling it might be. She's been trying to come to terms with it." Abby said.

"Still she knew, but didn't tell us!" Logan said angry and Sara smacks his head.

"She wasn't sure Logan! Not to mention scared." Sara said as Raine nods in agreement.

"Poor Sora though...she must be heartbroken." Raine said.

Eva nods "I was hopeful that we'd see her again, but not like this." Eva said.

At Sora's home said girl had locked herself in her room and was on her bed curled up into a ball holding onto a small pink stuffed wolf. Cassie had given it to her before their final battle to serve as a reminder of Cassie while she was off to college.

Outside her house the spirit of Lurre and Remius watched this as Remius looked to Lurre "She's heartbroken Lurre. I'm sorry, but perhaps the gemstone was wrong this time. I'm severing Cassandra's link to it." He said.

"I-I understand..." Lurre said sadly, but if she was honest she still believed that Cassie will come back. She still felt that Cassie was still the only real person that Sora could and would ever love even if she is hurt.

Yet it was Remius who had to decide when to intervene and cut the link between one of the Underdog Gemstones and it's chosen person. He would probably then allow the gem to find someone it would deem a better choice.

Lurre went to Sora's window putting a ghostly hand on it "Don't give up on her Sora. Love always remains strong and true." She said to Sora and then vanishes.


And that is all for Episode 17, and is probably one of the more emotional chapters I have written. Poor Sora...I put her through so much trouble now that I think about it, and most of what she is put through is undeserved. I really enjoyed writing this one in particular because I loved Element Fusion a lot, and it was my good friend ICrzy's first fanfiction. Anyways next chapter will be sometime after the upcoming trial arc in Power Rangers Music Force Next Generation. So until next time this has been decode9!
