Inside LK HQ Sora was in the medical bay watching over Cassie holding one of her hands "Please...Please Cassie. Wake up." Sora said tearing up.
It had been days since the massive kidnapping including that of Cassie that resulted in a massive team up between the Lore Keepers, Jurassic Surge, and Music Force Next Generation team.
Yet it was what happened that shakes Sora to her core, and put Cassie in the coma she is now in.
"Why? Why did you take that hit for him Cassie?" Sora muttered recalling how Jared would have been hit if it wasn't for Cassie taking the hit instead.
"Hey...you want to talk Sora?" her cousin Melody asked. After what had happened Maya sent out to the mentors special communicators that could also teleport them to The Great Library if need be. Melody was currently borrowing Jenny's.
"I'm fine Muse." Sora said using the nickname her and her cousin Zack called her.
"No your not. Even after what happened you still love her right?" Melody asked.
Sora looks down "Maybe...I just...I just can't believe that she did that." Sora said.
Melody sighs "Oh Sora. There is something that our cousin has told us multiple times over that you still need to understand." Melody says.
"And that is what?" Sora asked a bit bitter.
"If I told you then you probably don't remember it at all. So it's not my story to tell." Melody says and teleports out.
Sora sighed at this and grips Cassie's hand "Cassie...I hope that you'll recover soon. I-I'm sorry. I forgive you." she says in a whisper.
=LOREKEEPERS=
Sora arrived home her friends with her and saw that her mom was on the phone with someone "You should have told me sooner Tim! You or Liz should have told me!" She says.
"I'm sorry Rena. I know that I should have told you sooner, but well...me and Liz didn't know how to tell you we started dating again some years back." The voice of Timothy Porter said.
Rena sighed "Tim...honestly I'm glad you and Liz have been dating. I know how hurt you were about what happened to Violet, but you still could have told us." Rena says to him.
"I know, and I'm sorry. So will you bring it up with Zane?" Tim asked and Rena smirks smiling.
"Will do Tim. Perhaps Sora could be a flower girl." Rena joked not knowing that the teens were staring watching her.
"Flower girl!" Sora shouts surprised and Rena looks over.
"Well I got to go Tim. I'll talk to you later." Rena said hanging up and turned to Sora and her friends.
"Hello Sora. I'm surprised that your back now. I thought you'd be staying with Cassie a little longer." Rena said.
"So who was that?" Logan asked.
"Timothy Porter. A friend of mine, and he was a two time ranger." Rena said.
Eva nods "What's this about Sora being a flower girl?" Eva asked and Rena smiles.
"Honestly I'm to happy to actually be mad at Tim. You see he and another friend of mine a girl named Liz." Rena starts.
"Oh...Aunt Elizabeth. I always wondered why her and Uncle Tim wandered off when they got together." Sora said.
Rena chuckles "I should have seen that soon. Well you see they are finally tying the knot. They're getting married everyone." Rena explained to them.
Eva's eyes widen "Ohh...so does that mean?" Eva asked.
"Tim wants Zane as his best man, and Liz wants me for hers." Rena explained with a smile.
"And he's sending out invites to many of our old friends so this wedding is going to be awfully large. She's even inviting all your families." She told the teens.
Sora looked down blushing "Please don't tell me that I'm one of the flower girls." She says.
Rena chuckles "Why of course you are Sora. Along with several other certain females." Rena said.
Sora groans as Jason chuckles "So when is the wedding officially?" he asked.
"It's in a few days. The girls are to dress in white, and the men in blue." Rena said.
"Odd combination." Chris said as Rena shakes her head.
"Well see you all in a few days." Rena says ushering everyone but Sora out of the house.
=LOREKEEPERS=
Sora was up in her room thinking trying to recall the piece of advice that her cousin Zack had tried to tell her. She tossed and turned unable to sleep at all.
Groaning Sora got up and opened the window jumping out onto the roof of her home and slide down the water pipe. She then walked off trying to clear her mind.
As she walked though she failed to notice that someone else was out. It was Jason, and the two bumped into each other failing to see one another in the dark.
"Oww...Sora/Jason?" They asked one another.
"Let me guess...can't sleep right?" Sora asked.
"Yeah. Mind cluttered?" He asked and Sora nods to him.
"There's something Melody said to me that I'm trying to recall, but I'm a bit lost and just can't seem to remember anything my other cousin told me." Sora said.
"Ouch. Well I'm...trying to come to terms with my feelings for someone." Jason said.
"Jazz right?" she asked.
"Yep. She's just...so different. She's special." He said and sighs.
Sora smirks "Well come on. I think we both just need a walk. I think A&C is still open." Sora says to him.
Jason raised an eyebrow "At this hour?" he asked.
"Yeah. They've started keeping the place open all day everyday." Sora said.
"Well then going there will certainly help." Jason said.
=LOREKEEPERS=
The arrived at A&C hanging out and playing games "So Sora. I guess you are learning a bit more now about your family huh?" Jason asked.
"Yeah. I actually have a bit of a ranger history in my family." Sora says.
Jason raised an eyebrow "Really?" He asked.
"Yeah. My Aunt Anya is a mentor, my cousin Zack, and big sis Roxy were both rangers." She explained smiling a bit.
"I also don't need to explain my cousin Melody I think." She added on.
"Yeah I know. Your cousin certainly is interesting, and when had that small sparring session with her she beat me. I am feeling sore just thinking about it." He says.
Sora laughs "Well that's what you get when your spar with someone who's been trained by a half dozen ranger veterans." Sora said.
"Ugh...well I'll remember that next time I spar with her." He says.
"Yeah. She certainly gave you a handful." She says and looks outside as the sun was starting to rise.
Jason saw this to "Well I guess we should get going." he says.
"Yeah, but well...I think I'm going to take a trip." Sora said and Jason looks at her confused.
"A trip? You know that we have school." He pointed out.
"I know, but I was thinking of paying my cousin Zack a visit. I heard he's in my cousin's Melody's neck of the woods with big sis." Sora said.
Jason looked at her "Why do you call her that? She's just your sister in law in a way." Jason asked.
"She treats me like a little sister Jason, and well...I love being around her." She replied.
Jason shrugs "Alright, but you know that we're both probably going to be in trouble for doing this, and I don't know about you but I don't like listening to my mom scold me." Jason says to her.
Sora laughs "You worry to much Jason." She says.
Both got to a bus stop, and got on failing to notice that a few others got noticed and got on with them. It was Chris along with Sara the two having woken up early and noticed the two getting on the bus.
=LOREKEEPERS=
Jason and Sora walked not knowing behind them was Chris and Sara the two kept walking.
"So if they're here where do you think they'd be?" Jason asked and Sora rolls her eyes.
"They'd obviously be at Melody's home." Sora said.
"Oh right..." Jason said rubbing his head and they went to the Rays home and Sora knocks.
The door opens revealing her Uncle Andrew "Oh Sora. What are you doing here?" He asked.
Sora rubs her shoulder "I was actually wondering if Zack and Roxy are here?" She asked and Andrew sighs.
"I belive they are, but you know I'm going to have to call your mother and tell her your here." He says and Sora chuckles.
Jason sighs "I'm toast. Burnt and crispy around the edges toast." He says and they walk in and Andrew ushers them in.
As he did so Zack and Roxy came downstairs "Oh Sora, Jason. What are you both doing here?" Zack asked and Sora goes over and hugs them both.
"I just wanted to talk. I...I need help." Sora said.
"She's been like this ever since we came back from the previous fight." Jason said and Zack nods.
"I heard about it from Jared. I actually think I know someone who knows how you feel better." He added on taking out his phone as Roxy ruffles Sora's hair.
"Hey girl. I think if anyone knows what your going through it's me, Zack, and our old team." She says.
"Thanks." Both of the teens said and Zack hangs up.
"Sean said that she's on her way." Zack said as they went into the front room and sat down.
"So Jason why did you tag along?" He asked as Jason sighs.
"I'm worried about Jazz. You see each time someone gets kidnapped especially AV Jazz puts herself into danger. I'm afraid that she's eventually going to get herself hurt." Jason said.
Roxy hums "Hey Jason. I got a story to tell you." She says to him.
"Yeah? About what?" He asked.
"About two individuals on the Beast Warriors team. You see one of them was the youngest, and the other was one of the oldest." She started and it was at this point that Zack flinched.
"The youngest was sassy, full of spunk, and had a no nonsense attitude to her. Despite this though the oldest often felt like he had to protect the youngest resulting in many arguments." She continued.
"...I don't see how this has to do with my problem." Jason says.
"It actually has a lot to do with it. From what I heard Jazz is one of those 'special' girls on the team. She has as much sass as the one I'm talking about." Roxy said to him.
She then crosses her arms "So how do you think that she would feel about having someone trying to protect her? Especially when she is capable of defending herself?" She asked.
Jason looks away "Right...but still. She was kidnapped herself once, and I just am worried that maybe this recent kidnapping might bring back some memories of what happened to her." Jason said.
"She'll bounce back." A female voice said and they all turned, and for a moment to Jason and Sora they saw Beast Warrior Gold and then it faded away revealing a familiar female to Zack and Roxy.
"Sean. Glad you could make it." Roxy said.
"No problem Roxy." Sean said her voice having a hit of a British accent to it.
"Still adjusting to living back here?" Zack asked.
Sean rolled her eyes "I've been back for nearly five years Roxy. You know ever since the Angel Grove situation. Though I'm glad he came with me all those years ago." Sean said.
Sora and Jason watched as Sean then looked to them "Rookies right?" she says and Zack nods.
"The girl is my cousin. I believe you met her before." Zack says and Sean nods sitting down next to Roxy.
"So what's up Sora? I hear your having some issues." Sean says.
Sora sighs "Issues is an understatement. You see my girlfriend...for at least a while was fighting against me and the others." Sora said.
"Then she was captured a while back alongside some others. When we were escaping she...she took a hit meant for Jared." she adds on hands gripped into fists.
Sean nods in understanding looking to Zack "I see why you called me now Zack." Sean said.
Sean gets up and reaches out to Sora taking her hand "You know Sora...for a while my own boyfriend left the team. For a while I was afraid that we would have to fight him." Sean says.
"He did eventually come back, and we forgave him, but he also had to forgive himself. Cassie has to do the same thing." Sean finished.
"Forgive herself?" Sora and Jason asked.
Roxy nods to them "Yeah. You see she probably feels like no matter how much you guys forgive her that she can't forgive herself." Roxy said.
"But she will, and Sora you'd do anything for her...for now though she has to forgive herself and learn an important lesson." Zack said.
"Huh?" Both asked.
"That love conquers all." The three veterans said.
At this Sora's eyes widen recalling those words "Love conquers all...that's what Melody meant!" Sora muttered to herself.
"Yeah. We learned that the hard way. Our secondary powers came to us when a loved one was in danger. All of us except for Terra." Roxy recalled.
"Terra had to realize that she was loved and had people that cared about her." Zack recalled.
Sora smiles a bit "I'm not surprised, Terra has always been different." Sora said recalling the different times she met her when she was younger.
Jason smiles nodding "I think we understand. Your team may have had powers like that of animals, but you've gone through some harsh times." Jason said.
Outside Sara and Chris were listening to them as they talked, and behind them was Andrew who shakes his head leaving the two 'hidden' teens to continue listening in.
"I guess we should get going. Mom is probably going to be mad about me being here, and so will Jason's." Sora said and the two got up to leave.
"Hey. You two take care now." Andrew said as they left.
The two took the bus ride back the other teens following after "I wonder why Aunt Anya wasn't there." Sora muttered to herself.
They eventually arrived back and instead of heading right home Sora transported back to The Great Library to check up on Cassie.
When she got there she saw Cassie was still out, but she noticed her ring and the gemstone in it was glowing pink.
Sora went to her and took her hand "Cassie...I know I can say I'm sorry as much as I want, and it might not mean a lot if your just going to keep putting yourself down." She said.
"But I can be there for you. I can help you, and I won't leave you." Sora said.
Cassie despite her comatose state could hear her "Sora...I want to wake up, but what if...what if I just hurt you again?" she thought.
"How can you still love me Sora? I tried to kill you. I hurt you. I broke your heart." she thought trying to wake, but just couldn't.
"Cassie I really do love you. Nothing is going to change that." Sora said and then goes silent.
"She still does love me..." Cassie thought.
To Cassie's mind the image of a broken heart mermaid appeared as did several saintly figures "Our blessing can and will mend your bond young Cassandra, but you must decide who to forgive." the saintly figures said.
"Who...to forgive?" She thought confused.
"I already forgave everyone I could. I'm the one seeking forgiveness from them...who am I suppose to forgive?" she continued to think.
"I can't think of any of the others. They don't need forgiveness...the only one that needs forgiveness..." She continued to think.
"The only one who needs forgiveness..." she thought and it comes to her as she looks at the pink rose quartz mermaid.
"Is me. Though can I forgive myself?" she thought.
Cassie tried to have her hand move, but nothing as she watched her actions that happened "I...I was angry. I was a fool to believe Tiberius. I never should have doubted myself. I...I can forgive myself. Sora has shown me something important. Love conquers all." She thought.
The saintly figures turned into multiple colors of energy "Accept our blessing young Cassandra, and return to the realm of the living." They all said.
=LOREKEEPERS=
Hours had passed and Sora was sleeping her head on Cassie's stomach. Something began to run through her hair and Sora groans starting to wake up.
"Hey sleepyhead. Wake up." A familiar female voice says and she woke up instantly looking at the smiling face of Cassie.
Sora teared up and hugs her "Cassie! Oh Cassie...you don't know how worried I've been." Sora said.
Cassie hugs her and the commotion caught the attention of all the other rangers including the college rangers who stayed worried for Cassie.
Leo smirks "Hey there Cass." Leo says going to her and hugging her. Each one did the same in turn glad to see there friend back.
As they finished Sora's phone rang the ID showing her mother. Hesitantly Sora picked up the phone "Uhh...Hi mom." she says
"Sora Elizabeth Daniels! Why did I get a call from your Uncle Andrew saying you were at there home with Jason?!" Rena exclaimed from her end.
At this time Jason to was receiving a call from his mother "Uhh...Well mom I kind of..." Sora starts.
"I don't know why you were there, and I don't know why you wanted to see your cousin, but I think you know that your in trouble missy. Get home now!" Rena says and hangs up Jason doing the same thing.
Cassie noticed this and laughed a bit "In trouble there Sora?" Alvin asked.
"Yeah. I may have gone to see my cousin along with Jason." Sora said.
"No wonder your moms mad. It's a school day." Peter said.
Adam rolls his eyes "Honestly I'm not surprised." He says.
Leo elbows him in the stomach "Don't get all high and mighty buddy. You skipped school as much as I did." Leo said.
The teens and college rangers laughed at this all of them happy, and Sora then sighs "Well I better get going. Mom wants me home. I'll see you guys at the wedding." She said and transported out.
=LOREKEEPERS=
The day of the wedding came which was huge because not only did each of the rangers families come, but Tim and Liz had invited several ranger teams and their families. There was well over five hundred people.
The flower girls consisted of all the female rangers from the Lore Keepers, Music Force Next Generation, and Jurassic Surge teams as well as the female kids from the different families.
The guys themselves served as escorts for the girls while RJ was asked to be the ring bearer.
The ceremony was beautiful and after the vows were said and rings placed Tim and Liz kissed. Throughout this several of the married couples remembered their own weddings as well as the ups and downs of being a family.
The young couples themselves began to wander about how their own wedding might go and some would look at their lover hoping that eventually it would be the two of them together doing the same some day.
As this went on Tiberius watched from the background a wedding on his home planet coming to him. He turns and leaves believing himself to have been spotted by someone, but what he didn't know was who the woman was.
"That couldn't have been...Tiberius?" AV's Aunt Victoria thought.
Episode 19 is done and over with, and so is another tribute. Now I know that this was primarily a filler despite being a tribute chapter to Awaken The Beast. I just couldn't actually make this chapter have any action despite what I wanted to try originally. Though I still did some pretty great events picking up after the big team up that occurred in Power Rangers Music Force Next Generation. Cassie is now awake, and perhaps might be hanging around a bit longer. I also thought with the biggest lesson the Beast Warrior rangers learning being Love conquers all that I'd top the chapter off with a wedding finale. As for who it took me a while to think things out, but the answer slapped me right in the face after reading two certain stories. So now it's official almost the entire Element Fusion team is married. Well enough with me. Until next time this has been decode9!
