=LOREKEEPERS=
At an unknown location Xolicernic is working on a project he had started almost the moment he was defeated by the Lore Keepers when they returned and defeated him with the powers of the Music Force rangers.
He could work much faster and more efficient as he used his psychic powers on various tools working to create something. He then set the tools down and lets out a low chuckle.
"It's finally ready. This time…this time…this time I will not fail." Xolicernic sneers as he looked at his own invention.
=LOREKEEPERS=
It was late at night and people were sleeping most dreams were peaceful while others experienced nightmares, and others even dreamed of past events. In her room Sora was having one of the last types of dreams.
She was tossing in turning sweating badly as events of the past leaked its way into her dreams.
[Dream Sequence]
A 6 almost 7 year old Sora returned to her home in Meadowedge with a black eye and a couple scratches on her face from a fight she had gotten into that day.
"Mommy! Daddy! I'm home!" The girl calls out, but there is no reply as no one is home at the time.
The young girl sighs and tossed her bag down. Normally she would do her homework, but she was still so mad about what had happened at school that day and just wanted to go to her room and sleep.
The little girl walked up to her room and closed the door. When she got to her pillow she lifted it up to her face and let out a scream into it to try and let out all of the frustration of that day.
Suddenly and without any warning the unlit light above her room sparked before the bulbs shattered falling to the floor which caught on fire almost instantly.
Young Sora backed away scared as fire began to consume her room and started to spread through the rest of the house. She heard something like a car pull up into her home's driveway.
Sora was still in her room and coughing as the smoke was starting to get to her, and her vision was starting to go black.
"Mommy…Daddy…help me." Sora called out weakly.
"Sora! Sora!" her father's voice called out before her vision goes completely black from the exposure to the heat of the flames and smoke.
Sora woke up minutes later outside to the sounds of sirens and several people talking at once, and both of her parents looking at her with concern before her mother hugged her and was crying.
[Dream Sequence End]
Sora jerks away grabbing her shirt feeling her heart beating rapidly just from remembering what happened. She glanced to the clock and noticed it was an hour earlier than when she would usually wake up, but going back to sleep now she would only likely end up sleeping in the rest of the day. She sighs and gets up getting changed into her normal clothes.
=LOREKEEPERS=
Sora arrived at school that day looking tired, nervous, and how she looked didn't help either. Her hair was tangled and looked greasy, she was wearing a red shirt instead of having her usual jacket layered over a different colored t shirt, and she was extremely nervous.
Leo noticed this and raised an eyebrow at the girl "You okay their Sora?" Leo asked the girl getting her attention.
"Who me? I'm fine. Fine as fine can be. In fact I'm fine enough that I'm going straight to home room." Sora says with a chuckle and runs off away from the group as AV and the others frown AV's eyes turning dark orange at the lie.
"I-I don't think s-s-she is fine if you a-ask me." Eva says to them.
"No joke. She's acting like someone stole her favorite toy and is lying to her parents about it to cover up getting into a fight with the thieves." Adam says
Cassie slaps the back of Adam's head "While that is true there is no need to put it like that." She scolds him and Adam rubs his head whispering 'why me' as Peter just shakes his head.
"I've never seen Sora like this. What about you guys?" AV asked as the entire shake their heads never having seen Sora like this. In truth though Leo has once, but promised Sora not to speak about it to anyone.
"Let's just get to homeroom everyone. Sora is probably just nervous about a test." Peter says before they all walks towards homeroom.
After the homeroom classes went by as usual, and during them Sora was acting still as strange as she had at the start of the day. It was around lunchtime when she had finally calmed down enough that she seemed to be acting like she normally would around them all.
The group was all together at their table "Sorry about this morning guys. I…I just have been experiencing some things." Sora says apologetically to them. One of AV's eyes turn bright orange and one dark orange meaning that while Sora was telling the truth that she was also lying about something.
"It's alright Sora. We just were worried about you." Cassie said to her as the ground begins to shake the speakers then came on static coming through at first.
"What the…" One of the students said and a few students muttering.
"Hello people of Legacy Hills. You all may already know me, but my name is Xolicernic." His voice said as outside he was appearing on T.V screens and changing the channel didn't matter.
"Now as to why I am doing this you may already know." He says face set into a hard glare.
"I am calling you out rangers, and I know that you can hear me. It is time that we settled the score rangers, and if you don't comply I will attack the city with no mercy. Meet me at the site of where everything began in an hour or suffer the consequences." Xolicernic declared before the screen and everything else cut out returning to normal.
The students began to talk and whisper among themselves whispering before the intercom came on "Attention all students due to circumstances I am declaring school over for the day. Now I suggest that you leave." Mr. Steps said over the intercom.
Hearing this the students left grabbing their gear and leaving. The eight rangers were all together and walked out of the school with Maya following after them.
"You guys need to be careful. Xolicernic hasn't been active for a while so I suspect he has some sort of trump card." Maya said to them.
The group nods to her before morphing and summoning their Lore Cycles heading off to the warehouse where their fight had begun.
=LOREKEEPERS=
Xolicernic waited holding a bladed staff eyes closed at the site of where the fight with Recks had started everything.
"To think it all started with a bunch of teens intruding on the site of our old base, and now it ends where it begins." He thought eyes opening as the sound of engines were heard and the rangers entered and got off pressing the same button sending them back to their base.
"So you finally came rangers. Now live or die it ends today." Xolicernic declared pointing his weapon at them.
Sora stepped up "That's big talk coming from you." Sora countered.
Xolicernic's eyes narrowed "The only reason you defeated me last time was because you teamed up on me. You can't defeat me solo. That's what makes you undeserving of the red ranger position girl." He challenged.
"Is that a fact? Fine. If you want to fight me one on one then so be it." Sora retorts the others nervous about this decision.
"I'm not so sure you should do this Red." Leo says.
"I can handle myself Yellow. Just back off guys." Sora said.
Xolicernic snaps his fingers a large amount of Shade and Gearz appearing surrounding the two "Just to make sure you team doesn't interfere." He says.
Sora nods and rushes at Xolicernic and slugs him with the B-Bracers causing sparks to fly and knocking him back a bit.
Xolicernic staggered, but recovers quickly throwing the red ranger back with his psychic powers tossing her into a nearby pile of tires and rushes at the downed ranger.
Sora throws a couple tires on her off and rolls out of the way seeing Xolicernic coming. She summons her Longsword to her and slashes in a downward arc at him.
Xolicernic raised his staff blocking it before retaliating with a slashed aimed at her mid section which was blocked and Sora kicks him in the stomach causing him to stumble.
"Why you undeserving brat." He says before rushing at her in rage. Sora raised her blade blocking, but was tossed back a few feet from the power behind his swing this time.
Sora looks at him "You keep saying that I'm undeserving. What is it that makes me so undeserving?" Sora asked him.
Xolicernic chuckles it soon turning into a full blown laugh "Why? Why? I'll tell you why!" He says before grabbing a some tires with his psychic powers and throws them at her.
"A red ranger has always been male first and foremost. Girls are soft, weak, and always need the protection of the males of the team!" He shouts as Sora dodges and Xolicernic rushed forward punching Sora sending her flying back.
"A red ranger should be able to stand on their own, and not have to rely on their weaker team members. Yet you can't do either girl." He adds on as Sora struggled to get up from the previous hit.
Xolicernic holds his Bladed Staff up with his psychic power aiming it at Sora "What is it that makes you so special? Special enough to be the red ranger?" he demanded as Sora gets up.
"Every time a new team was formed I waited. I waited to be chosen to become a red ranger, but every time it was was like fate decided I wasn't good enough. Then my son Levi was born, and I wanted to pass on my dream to him." He continues as Sora falls trying to get up and Xolicernic threw his arm back the bladed staff doing the same as it was being prepared to be thrown.
"Yet that Dream Snatcher and his foolish friends stopped me, and Levi threw away his destiny to become what he should have been. The leader, and with my help he would have been one of the greatest red rangers in the history of rangers!" He exclaimed Sora getting up and looked at Xolicernic looking at him with a glare under her helmet.
Xolicernic smirks "Any last words you pathetic undeserving excuse for a red ranger?" He says.
"Yeah I do actually…It's Showtime!" Sora says as Xolicernic snarls throwing his hand forward along with the weapon which went at Sora at high speed.
The other's watch gasping and Leo about to try and break through the minions to get to Sora. Sora watched the weapon coming at her and held her blade with both hands, and waited for it to get close. When it was almost right in front of her she swung up in an arc making contact with the weapon and it was sent flying behind her.
"WHAT!" Xolicernic said in shock and surprise Sora taking the opportunity to grab the other morpher on her waist.
"Final Chapters Morpher, Ready!" She declared becoming engulfed in the aura of her ranger color.
"Unleash the Legacy!" She shouts morphing into the Epilogue Ranger. Xolicernic called his weapon back with his powers scowling at the Red Ranger both charging at one another.
"I will admit that in the times we've fought you and your monsters you've proven you're a challenge. You can make plans and will see them through, you don't hold back in a battle, and while you may not make some of the same mistakes as baddies in the past have you would never have been chosen to be a ranger much less a red ranger." Sora said as their weapons clashed.
"What! I and any in my family are much more deserving than any ranger has ever been!" Xolicernic exclaimed as the two pushed back trying to gain a strength advantage or the other, but neither was moving.
"Your family maybe, but not you. It will never be you! And you know why?" Sora said pushing forward slowing pushing Xolicernic back.
"Because no matter how smart you are, no matter how powerful you are, no matter what you do to prove your worth you don't have any qualities that a red ranger is suppose to have!" Sora said giving one strong push throwing Xolicernic back.
Sora's morpher went off "Well said Sora, and I actually got a gift for you girl. I was able to bond the full power of Element Fusion Red and Element Fusion Silver to your Final Chapters Morpher to give you a stronger form. I don't know why, but their powers seemed to be calling out to yours Sora." Maya says to her.
"Thanks Maya. I think it's about time I finished this." Sora says to her as Xolicernic staggers getting up.
Sora holds up her arm that had the Final Chapters Morpher in it "Call of the Elements, Powers Ignite!" Sora says becoming wrapped in waves of red and silver.
-Warrior Mode Morphing Sequence-
The chest armor on Sora extended and thickened going down to her waist as it turned to a bright silver with steaks of red on her chest and neck while a silver metal pointed skirt extended out and down with red tips. Her pauldrons extended up and became more triangular in shape turning silver with the Lore Keeper emblem in red on it.
Her boots went up higher gain a few inches in the heel turning silver with red lines going down the sides and alongside it as her gloves did the same a shield going over her right glove protecting the FCM from getting damaged, and becoming a power source for the shield. A small section formed beneath the front of the shield that looked like a connection between the shield and something else.
Her helmet at first turned back to normal before turning silver and a the visor became one thick black line before a crown like object came down and attached itself to the helmet. The grate in front of the visor gave it a knight like appearance while the secondary part of the crown curved back and upwards as red markings went alongside the helmet.
The large collar around the neck curved as it and the cape turned silver on the back side all the emblems but the Lore Keeper vanish as the red on the inside of the cape stayed. Finally the double bladed staff vanished and was replaced with a javelin.
Sora gave it a few test jabs and a slash before she held it up high her shield in front of her "Red Warrior Ranger, Ready to Fight!" Sora declared.
-End Morphing Sequence-
The amount of power given off from her morph was enough to blow back a majority of the Shades and Gearz while Xolicernic stood his ground at this amount of power.
He looked at the red ranger anger, rage, and fury could be seen reflected in his eyes before letting out a scream and runs at her. Sora side steps his attack and delivers a blow to his back sending him forward.
Xolicernic turns and tries to stab the armored ranger, but she counters with a jab just as quick and precise. Seeing as he was close Xolicernic punches the helmet and Sora staggers back a bit, but so does Xolicernic grabbing his hand in pain. It was like when he went to punch the girl that he hit a wall made of the strongest metal possible.
Sora shakes her head recovering from the hit before noticing Xolicernic in his state "This is it Xolicernic. All that you have done ends now." Sora said attaching her javelin to the section beneath the shield as it begins to charge energy.
Sora gets down on the ground aiming at Xolicernic as the HUD inside the helmet lights up showing a targeting system and a power display on the side and was quickly rising as the combined weapon was covered in cyan energy.
Sora focused on Xolicernic the system locking on as the power display reached MAX "Judgement Burst!" Sora shouts thrusting the combo weapon forward causing a focused beam of energy in the shape of a large triangular feather to burst forward and it hits its target causing a large explosion as Xolicernic screams in pain.
"Tale End." Sora says powering down to her core Lore Keeper form the Shades and Gearz running away at the site of one of the generals being defeated, and the rest of the team running up to her.
"Nice going Sora!" Leo cheers patting the leaders back.
Eva nods "Y-Yes, but don't you think w-we c-could have sparred him?" Eva asked as Alvin shakes his head.
"I know you like to see the good in others Eva, but Xolicernic was too far gone to be redeemed." Alvin tells her sadly.
Adam watches as the smoke clears and grows wide eyed under his helmet "Uhh…guys…" He says.
"Well at least now we don't have to deal with him anymore. Good riddance I say." Cassie said arms crossed.
"You are being far too harsh Cassie. He might have been our enemy, but perhaps the least we can do is burry whatever remains of him." AV said as Adam takes in a breath.
"Guys!" Adam says with urgency.
Peter shakes his head "That's way too good for him AV. Sorry, but I say we just leave him as is and let someone else deal with his remains." Peter said.
Adam sighs "ATTENTION WHEN I'M TRYING TO TALK TO YOU IF YOU WOULD BE SO KIND!" Adam shouts.
"What is it Adam?" Sora asked before Adam turns her head and points. Xolicernic was barely standing and had survived the blast just barely.
"I-I must admit I underestimated you girl, b-but I'm not done. Not yet." Xolicernic says taking a remote like device out of his armor and pressing a few buttons.
The nearby warehouse shook before it was completely destroyed as something rose out of it. That something was a mech twice the size of an average Megazord. It was black and sported Viking style armor on its chest with a large helmet that had horns coming out of the side and top with huge fists. It had an X on its front that extended up and our stopping near the head. It had a shield on one arm while in both hands it wielded a large hammer and carved into them on both side was an X in a similar design to the chest piece.
"Now it truly begins. Me and the X-Mecha will be the final thing you see rangers." He says before vanishing inside the mech.
Not hesitating the rangers called upon the Lore Zords and for the Tales Megazord and Metal Megazord to fight against the gigantic robot.
Both Megazords charged at X-Mecha, but was knocked back by the hammer. The X-Mecha raised the hammer up high and it started to generate large amounts of electricity.
"Hahaha! Take this rangers! Thor's Judgment!" Xolicernic said from inside the cockpit which he sat in the controls all around him and it showed how the mecha was functioning as well as the status of its opponents.
X-Mecha brought the hammer down on the ground sending out waves of extremely high voltage at the Megazords, and when it made contact the rangers could feel it as it leaked in and they screamed in pain.
Maya watched what was happening and bites her bottom lip "Get up kids. Come on." She muttered in worry then let out a sigh of relief as both Megazords got up.
Her relief didn't last long as the Megazords were hit yet again by Thor's Judgment and they were knocked to the ground.
In both Megazords the teens were flat on their back and gasping for breath "It's useless rangers! The X-Mecha is superior in every way to your Megazords! You will not win this one!" He says and laughs starting to charge the X-Mecha's final attack End Days, but it would take some time before it was ready.
"H-He's right. The Megazords aren't enough." Sora said as she and the others get up.
"W-What about combining o-our Megazord with y-yours?" Eva suggested as she and Peter got up in theirs.
"If we were able to we would have by now squirt." Leo said to Eva.
"I think I have a solution. It's still in its testing phases, but it's up to you guys. I can teleport you kids back and come up with another plan to handle this." Maya said from the communicator.
Sora looked to the others "G-Go for it." Eva said from the Metal Megazord Peter nodding in agreement to her.
"Okay Maya send us this new toy." Sora said as Maya chuckles and sends the device which appears in front of Sora and falls in the red rangers hands.
From inside the X-Mecha Xolicernic noticed that the rangers Megazords haven't moved since they had got up, and have had plenty opportunity to attack him while the X-Mecha was charging it's attack.
"…and that's how it works Sora." Maya's voice said as she finished explaining how the new device worked.
"Got it Maya." Sora said as the Megazords disassembled and seemed to be retreating, but Xolicernic doesn't stop charging planning on taking out at least a few of the rangers.
"Ultra Link, Ready! Dino Legend Form Up!" Sora shouts as a bright flash occurs
-Ultrazord Sequence-
The land shakes and water parts as the Q-Rex Zord came up from out of the ground and out of the water and onto the land came the Dragozord. A loud screech is heard as the Ptera Zord flew in and rushing in close behind was the pink Tricera Zord.
The eyes of Q-Rex and Dragozord flashed the Q-Rex transforming into Megazord Mode while the body of Dragozord Fighting mode was formed. The body connected to the Q-Rex Megazord the two heads and helmets combining to make a hybrid of the two as the tails formed behind them. Tricera flashed and formed taking place of the right arm while Ptera's head and legs pulled in attaching to the back of it.
The cockpit of the Ultrazord was similar to the Megazord, but in the back right beside their own emblem was the emblems of the Might Morphing, Time Force, Dino Thunder, Dino Charge, Prehistoric, and Jurassic Squad ranger teams and there was enough room for all eight rangers a platform for each of them.
The Dragozord drill like staff fell to the ground before it picks it up.
-Ultrazord Sequence End-
"Dino Legend Ultrazord, Ready!" All eight rangers said appearing inside the Ultrazord.
Seeing this Xolicernic's rage hit it's peak, and lets out a laugh when he sees End Days was charged and ready "I TOLD YOU IT'S NO USE RANGERS! NOW TAKE MY ULTIMATE ATTACK! END DAYS!" Xolicernic screamed as the entire body of the Mecha was covered in pure plasma and concentrated into the hammer.
Xolicernic raised it up high as storm clouds gathered and several bolts of plasma began to strike the ground hitting the Ultrazord, and then the X-Mecha threw it's hammer and it impacts the Ultrazord an explosion occurring as the hammer came back.
"Hehehe…hahahahaha! I've done it! I'VE FINALLY DONE!" Xolicernic exclaimed as the smoke starts to clear, and Xolicernic watches expecting it to be over, but as it cleared the X-Mecha stumbles back in surprise and shock.
Still standing there was the DLU and looking no worse for wear. In fact it looked like it hadn't taken a hit what so ever from End Days.
"H-How is that even?" He starts and grits his teeth before letting out a war cry his Mecha then charged forward in an attempt to hit the Ultrazord.
The DLU moves out of the way "A little bit of luck, and a whole lot of timing Xolicernic." AV said to him.
"We knew you were readying something, but didn't know exactly what you were going to hit us with." Cassie adds on to it.
"So when the freak storm started I powered up the shields to the max, which thanks to the defensive power of the Dragozord we were kept unharmed." Adam said.
"As for the hammer well yeah it 'hit' us, but technically we caught it." Leo says recalling how the DLU caught the hammer by the handle right before the explosion.
The X-Mecha is hit by the tails before they grab the legs of it and pull it making it fall to the ground "Why you…my victory." Xolicernic says as the X-Mecha gets up and is hit by the Tricera Drill before it can get up to full height.
"Alright guys let's end it." Sora tells them as they all nod as Sora's longsword appears in her hand and AV's blasters in her hands. Sora held her blade out in front of her and looked like she was preparing to thrust it forward as Cassie, Leo, and Peter copy the motion as does the DLU. AV began charge her blaster holding them out in front of her as Adam, Alvin, and Eva copy this motion as green energy began to gather in the shoulders of the Ultrazord.
"Quantum Blitz!"
"Dragon Thrust!"
From the shoulders of the Ultrazord concentrated green beams of energy hit X-Mecha causing it substantial damage, and then the Ultrazord was in front of it the drill like staff glowed gold before it thrust right through it and pulls out leaving a clean hole.
"One day rangers…One day I will return, and then I will finish what I began!" Xolicernic says and tries to escape, but he found that he couldn't move and looked down seeing his legs were trapped and one nearly cut clean off because of the Ultrazords Dragon Thrust. A large explosion occurred taking Xolicernic with the X-Mecha.
The rangers realized this as they didn't see him escape or see a flash from inside the X-Mecha to indicate he had teleported away. The man who went by the name Christopher Askew and became the alien being known as Xolicernic was dead.
=LOREKEEPERS=
The rangers were in The Great Library in their civilian clothes and were celebrating their most recent victory, but were also very solemn about it.
"Can't believe he is actually dead." Alvin says as Eva sighs.
"B-But it was as you s-said. He was l-long gone and c-couldn't be redeemed." Eva said.
Each ranger nods in agreement before looking to their wrist where their morphors were and sighed as they weren't their now "Though he and we did do a number on us. With how the battle went and the stress on the Morphing Grid from using Warrior Mode, the Dino Tales Megazord, summoning the legendary zords, and using the Ultra Link to create the Dino Legacy Ultrazord it's no wonder our mophors are fried." Sora said as Maya comes to them.
"Well good news is that I will be able to create new morphors that will maintain almost all of your previous abilities." Maya said as Leo raised an eyebrow.
"What do you mean almost?" Leo asked as Maya sighs.
"You all recall Legacy Mode?" Maya asked as they all nod understanding her so far.
"Well when I created Legacy Mode I was able to bond a specific power to you and your morphors. These new morphors are refusing the Legacy Mode's power almost completely. So it will only be a matter of time before you will be unable to use Legacy Mode anymore." Maya explained and shakes her head.
"At most you all can use it eight more times before the connection is cut permanently." She finished as the group sighs and Maya grins.
Adam is the first to recover and grins "Though your already in the works for a new power right? That's why you're grinning like a cheshire cat?" Adam asked and she nods.
"Yes. I can't give you guys specifics, but it will likely be operational by the time you guys use up your Legacy Mode." Maya said.
"Well I guess all we can do for now is wait. With Xolicernic gone things might finally quiet down." Peter said as Lurre comes over with the V3 Lore Morphors.
Unlike the last which was wrist mounted this device was hand held each colored specifically for each ranger. It would fit in the palm of each rangers hand comfortably and had a button pad with a button on each side and above the button pad was a screen.
"Okay I guess they are actually done. Well guys say hello to the V3 Lore Morphors. It is capable of everything the previous ones could do. Your's Sora has the Ultra Link and Battlizer modes installed in it." Maya says as each take their morphor.
"Thanks Maya. You to Lurre." AV says as each notice the time.
"Well guys perhaps it might be for the best that we part ways for the day." Leo suggested as they all nod and leave. Maya sighs at this and sits down at the nearest table.
Lurre noticed this and walks up to her "Have you had more run ins with Tony?" she asked as Maya shakes her head.
"It's not just him. Yesterday I saw him and one of the others." Maya said.
Lurre shakes her head "You need to let it go Spears. It is unhealthy to be treating things how they are." She says and walks away leaving Maya to think about what she told her.
That is the end of Episode 1 of this brand new season. Now let me just say that I have always enjoyed writing Xolicernic and while he may be dead for now he will not be forgotten by any of the rangers that quickly. Yet who is to say that he will remain dead? Those that have read Power Rangers Star Descendants understand exactly what it is that I'm talking about. So what did you all think of the first Ultrazord the Lore Rangers created as well as the Stage 2 for Sora's Battlizer? Anyways I hope you all will enjoy and until next time this has been decode9.
