[Flashback]

A six soon to be seven year old Avalon was playing out in the playground of Unity Lakes Elementary school with a few of the other kids. She then noticed a girl that was sitting all by herself.

Curiosity overcame the young girl and she got up and walked over to the other girl. She was about Avalon's age and had a peach like skin tone with neck length dirty blond hair that was naturally wavy and blue eyes. She wore a hot pink top and red-pink shorts.

Avalon sat down next to the girl "Hi." She chirped smiling cheerfully at the other girl.

The other girl looks to Avalon and recognizes her "Your Avalon right?" the girl asked as she nods.

"Yes, but umm…how do you know my name?" Avalon asked slightly confused.

"Me and my family are your new neighbors. Mommy talked about them having a girl my age." She says.

Avalon smiles at this "I'm Mildred Henderson, but please call me Jerrica." The girl named Mildred introduced herself.

"Why should I call you Jerrica?" Avalon asked as Mildred sighs.

"I-I don't really like my first name. Makes me sound like some old lady." Mildred replied as Avalon puts a finger to her chin in thought, and then giggles getting an idea.

"How about I call you Millie?" AV asked as the suggested nickname gets her attention and Mildred smiles.

"Millie. Yeah I like the sound of that, but as long as I get to call you AV." Millie replied to her.

"Why AV?" Avalon suggested.

"My mommy told me you were named after some of your family, and well it's sometimes hard to say your name." Millie replied.

Avalon thought about this "Hmm…Alright. You can call me AV." AV says to Millie as both get up.

Millie smiles "So umm…friends?" Millie asked the girl nervous.

AV nods "Best friends." She says as they both walk off towards the playground.

[Flashback End]

=LOREKEEPERS=

It was a bit after third period a few days after the second trip to the time of the Star Descendants when AV was being escorted out of her class by Leo towards the nurse after she fell out of her desk and hit her head.

"You don't seem to be doing so well these days squirt. Perhaps we can talk about it." Leo suggested as he had on hand on her shoulder to support her and was holding one as well.

"I'm fine Leo. It was just another vision." AV said in an attempt to calm the yellow ranger down.

"And you fell asleep in class again. You haven't been sleeping well lately have you?" Leo inquired as AV lets out a sigh and pushes Leo off, but were still holding hands.

"Well well well what do we have here?" A female voice says as AV froze in place taking in a sharp breath when she heard the voice.

"I never thought I'd see you again rainbow freak." The voice said as Leo frowns and both turn to face the voice. To AV there was no mistaking it now who it was. Her dirty blond hair was now longer, and no longer had it's curls, and her soft blue eyes looked much colder. She now wore a pink crop top with skinny jeans and black booty boots.

AV sighs readying herself for the conversation "What are you doing here Mildred?" AV asked revealing the girl to be her oldest friend Mildred who frowns being called by her full name.

"You know full well that I go by Jerrica AV." She snarls as Leo was surprised she called her by her nickname, but recovers quickly.

"Just answer her question." Leo said gaining Jerrica's attention who looks Leo over as if looking at a prized catch.

"Well if you must know me and my family moved from Unity Lakes to here as a fresh start. Thankfully we aren't neighbors." Jerrica says as Leo frowns as the girl comes in closer checking Leo out and notices the two holding hands.

She puts a hand on his shoulder "You know you could just dump the freak hottie. Go out with a real girl." She says batting her eyelashes at him.

AV frowns "I see that you haven't lost your mean streak Jerrica, and also we aren't dating if that's what you're thinking." AV said to Jerrica who huffs.

"Whatever you say freak." She says and walks away from them, and after she was out of sight AV sighs relaxing.

"Okay AV spill it. Who was she, and how does she know you?" Leo asked the younger girl.

"Can we talk about it at lunch? I don't want to have to repeat what I have to say." AV suggested and he nods as they both walk towards the nurse. After she was checked out by the nurse and made sure there wasn't any problems with her she was cleared to leave and headed for lunch with Leo.

When they came to the table they noticed that Cassie was looking irritable and annoyed "Come on Cassie it wasn't that bad." Adam says in an obvious attempt to cheer her up.

"Oh that's easy for you to say." Cassie retorts annoyed.

The blue and yellow rangers look to their red and green for an explanation "Someone replaced Cassie clothes with others that were a size to small, and the clothes well…" Sora started and turns bright red along with Alvin.

"They ripped when Cassie went to sit down in class." Alvin finished and AV sighs knowing who would do that kind of prank.

"Mildred. You just don't know when to stop." She says under her breath.

Leo glances at AV then to the group "AV has something she wants to talk about." Leo said and AV looks to him a bit annoyed that he was already bringing it up when in truth she didn't want to talk about what had happened between her and Mildred years back, but now the attention was on her as the others were staring at her.

"Well you see…" AV started then stops trying to find the words to say to tell them about what had happened.

"Oh this is interesting. So you friends with her out of pity? Or did someone pay you?" AV groans as Jerrica had walked up to the table and spoke.

The group as a whole frowns as AV was curling up trying to make herself seem smaller "Excuse me, but who are you talking about?" Sora asked forcefully.

"Uhh the rainbow freak of course. AV." Jerrica says as Cassie glanced over and saw AV was curled up like a ball.

Adam gets up glaring at Jerrica "Leave now. Or if you prefer I can call a teacher over and tell her your spreading nasty rumors about a fellow student." Adam says to her and Jerrica huffs leaving.

"Who d-does s-she think she is?" Eva says actually sounding angry.

Cassie rubs AV's back to try and help her relax, and AV slowly returned to her normal sitting position as the group looks at the girl concerned "AV who was that girl? She seemed to know you. Well know you well enough to call you by your nickname." Peter asked.

Sora huffs "Does it really matter? That girl is rotten and screams trouble." Sora said as Leo nods.

"Almost makes Robyn look like a saint…almost." Leo said and AV sighs.

"T-That girl. S-She was my best friend in elementary school. My first friend actually." AV tells them.

"WHAT?!" The group says in utter surprise that AV had been friends with such a mean girl.

AV nods and takes something out of her pocket. It a silver bracelet with charms on it, and from the looks of it it was meant to be part of a pair.

"A friendship bracelet. You both bought one didn't you?" Sora asked and AV nods.

"Yes, and I…I never took it off until that day." AV says and takes in a breath before letting it out.

[Flashback]

AV and Millie had entered the third grade and it seemed like any other day to the two of them. The two of them went to their seats which was next to each other and talked waiting for class to start.

The teacher came in and took attendance and then left the class. It was then that two boys began picking on a boy that was a year older, and had been held back due to his bad grades.

The two boys eventually pushed the older boy to the ground and due to how he fell he sprained his knee. The two went back to their seats as the teacher comes back in, and seeing the older boy on the ground and walks over kneeling near him.

She then looked to the class "What happened here?" The teacher asked as many of the students looked away or said nothing as they were afraid of the two bullies.

"Nothing. He just fell out of his seat." The first boy says hiding a grin.

"Yeah. What a klutz." The second adds on teasing the boy.

AV silently fumed as her eyes for the first time changed to a dark orange, and Millie had seen it happen "Their lying!" AV says to the teacher and then proceeds to tell her what really happened.

The two had been sent to the principal's office for their actions, and class went on as it had normally. Soon enough it was almost time for recess and AV went over to talk to Millie who glared at her.

Then when AV was close enough Mille pushed her back "Get away from me freak!" She says as AV looks brokenhearted at what she said.

"B-But Millie we're friends. Aren't we?" AV asked as Millie huffs.

"First it's Jerrica." Jerrica says and takes off the friendship bracelet that AV gave her when she bought a pair and forces it into her hands.

"Second I don't want to be friends with a freak like you. You aren't normal." Jerrica says and leaves heading for the more popular girls in the class as AV tears up. Class went on for the day, and as soon as school released AV went running out of the school and straight for home. As soon as she got their she went into her room and shut the door starting to cry.

Stella and Mike were home and both grew concerned and walked up to their daughters room. Stella knocks before walking in Mike right behind her both saw their daughter crying into her pillow. Both parents go to be near her as Stella sits on the bed and rubs her back as Mike stands nearby.

"Did something happen sweetie?" Stella asked concerned and AV looks up at her eyes still the bright orange they had been from earlier that day startling Stella and Mike a bit.

"Why am I so different mommy? I-I…I lost my best friend. She called me a freak." AV says and starts to cry into Stella's shirt. Stella begins to pat her back and rock her back and forth to calm her.

"Stella we have to tell her." Mike says to her and Stella nods. They both knew that the day she would have to know about her heritage would come soon and under better circumstances. Now though after what happened they knew that they would have to tell her now.

"Avalon your father and I have something we need to tell you." Stella says getting the young girls attention who looked up eyes having returned to what she thought was her natural color. It was then that her parents told her the truth of Stella's heritage along with that of her Aunt Ester, Aunt Luna, Aunt Avalon, and Grandma Victoria.

The five of them were not humans at all, but were of a completely different species all together. Stella also revealed to her daughter that she got her rainbow colored eyes from her as that was her own natural eye color. They even told her about their pasts as rangers as well.

While AV was young she understood what they were talking about, but was still scared "I-I don't like this. I don't want others to know about my eyes." AV says voice trembling and scared.

Stella left the room going to find something, and a couple minutes later returned to the room carrying a pair of sunglasses "Here. My adoptive mother use to make me wears these when I was younger." She says handing the sunglasses to AV who takes them and puts them on.

"I know how hard it is going to be for others to accept that you are different Avalon, but there are people out there." Stella tells her and both parents hug her.

[Flashback End]

"I'm surprised that you were able to make friends with anyone after that happened." Cassie said honestly surprised about what had happened to AV in the past.

"I-I was to. I kept my eyes hidden so that no one would ever judge me again like how Mildred and her 'friends' did." AV says and sighs.

"But that's not all that happened is it?" Sora asked having learned when there is something else AV didn't want to talk about.

AV looks down "No. You know until this year I was homeschooled right?" she asked and they shake their heads.

"Well I know I never mentioned it, but I didn't mention it for a reason." AV adds on.

[Flashback]

"And doing the solo for our school's musical will be Avalon Winchester." The music teacher says to the fifth grade students in the class. It was now early December and they were preparing for a winter musical.

"What?! H-How can you give the most important part to that…that thing!" One of the students who is named Sally says. Sally was one of the more popular girls and on top of it was a lead cheerleader. She also loves to hear the sound of her own voice and consider herself better than anyone else except for her best friends Max, Tyler, and Jerrica.

The teacher glares "Now that is now how you talk about another student Sally." The teacher says to her.

"I don't care! I-I just had a bad try out was all. My throat was sore!" Sally says desperate to be able to sing the solo part of the musical.

"Well then you shouldn't have sung with a sore throat. I have made my decision and that is final. The rest of you will sing in the designated groups or together during the musical. Study your cues and be prepared for practice in a couple days." The teacher says and dismissed the class, but kept AV behind.

"I want to rehearse the solo with you Avalon. This is a harder part of the show, and I don't want you to feel overwhelmed." The teacher says to her.

"T-Thank you. I am thankful for the help." AV says to the teacher and practice. Along the way the teacher gives AV pointers on how to improve.

"You're doing good Avalon. Now let's just go over it one more…" The teacher says before a cell phone goes off the teacher having received a text and looks at it.

The teacher gets up "I have a call I must attend to in the office Avalon. Just wait here and keep practicing. I'll be back soon." The teacher says before leaving.

AV does start to practice again, but stopped when she saw Sally come walking in with Jerrica, Max, and Tyler. All four having matching looks of disgust on their faces. Sally came walking up and slaps AV.

"That part was mine! How dare you take it from me you freak!" Sally said enraged as she slapped AV across the face.

AV winces "I-I got it fair and square, and you know it." AV said to her.

"No you didn't freak. You had to have cheated." Max says to her as he cracks his knuckles as does Tyler right beside him.

"And there's only one thing to do about a cheater. Especially a cheater that is a freak like you." Tyler says as AV sweats nervous and Jerrica smirks. AV gets up and runs for the door.

"Get her!" Jerrica says as the four of them grab her and bring her back into the music room.

"Let me go! Let me go!" AV says as she struggles and then her eyes widen as she see's that Jerrica and Sally had grabbed gift wrapping supplies and Jerrica had a mischievous grin on her face.

"Hold her one of you." She says as she rolls out the gift wrap and Tyler let's go Max keeping hold of the girl.

The three began to put the wrap around her tightly from her wrap all the way down to her feet and had duck taped it after wrapping it around her. AV falls to the ground as Max let go to help them with the rest. To stop AV from talking or calling for help they put a large tag over her mouth. A ribbon was then tapped to her face and finally bows were stuck in her hair.

"Well well looks like our present is all done." Jerrica says as her and the other three laugh as AV cries. The four then took out their phones and took a picture of AV in her current helpless situation.

Jerrica looked back "Let's get going. The teacher might be back at any moment." She says before looking at AV and glares.

"Tell anybody it was us and these pictures will be seen by the entire school tomorrow." She threatened and leaves with the rest. A minute later the teacher came walking in and gasped seeing AV.

"Avalon! H-Hold on I will get you out." The teacher says and grabs a pair of scissors.

[End Flashback]

"I did end up telling and the four were suspended. We ended up moving before the school year ended wanting a fresh start for me, and I was homeschooled for three years." AV tells them as she tears up recalling what had happened.

Cassie pats her back "Hey it's okay. What they did was wrong, and as you said they were punished for what they did." She says as AV pushes her off.

"T-Thank you, but I just need some time alone right now." AV says leaving the table and headed out of the cafeteria.

Jerrica noticed this and came walking over sitting in AV's spot "Finally. I was wondering when she would leave." Jerrica says as the group glared at her.

She looks at them "So you guys pull the short straw or something? You planning a prank on AV? Or are you just taking pity on her because she's a freak? Spill it why you all friends with her?" Jerrica asked and laughs as one of Adam's hands clenched into a fist.

Leo stops him and shakes his head and Sora shakes her head "First off you have no right to come over her and take our friends seat. Secondly we don't want to talk to you because of what you've done to our friend. Thirdly you are lucky we aren't doing anything to you because we know AV wouldn't want us to do anything to you." Sora tells her and Jerrica stops laughing.

"Wait you're all seriously friends with that freak of nature?" Jerrica asked surprised by this.

"S-Stop calling her t-that. S-S-She's not a freak." Eva said to her.

Leo nods "AV is a one of a kind person, and she deserves better treatment than what you are giving her." Leo said to her.

"And I will not stand for you talking about my girlfriend like that any longer." Adam adds on.

Alvin sighs "If you only let your friendship go because of her eyes then you obviously ignored everything else about AV that makes her herself."

"I still find it hard to believe that she was once friends with you." Cassie said

"Indeed. Even Robyn has her limits and would never cross the line like you have." Peter says arms crossed.

"You may have been the first to call her AV, but you are not her friend. So I hear you talking about her like you have I will report you so fast that your head will spin." Sora tells her and gets up and pulls Jerrica out of AV's spot at the table.

"Now leave us be, and that includes AV." She adds on and takes her spot. Jerrica walks off fuming a bit and puts a hand into her pocket and takes something out. It was an article about the suicide of a special needs girl in Unity Lakes. Jerrica had read the article several times as it served to her as a reminder of what can happen if a person is pushed too far. She puts it back into her pocket and leaves the cafeteria.

=LOREKEEPERS=

AV had left the school entirely and had walked the short distance to Clemons Park and was looking out at the tranquil lake that rested at the edge of the park and was sitting under a tree.

AV looked out at it and lets out a sigh as it reminded her of times when she and Jerrica would play at the park, go swimming, and do other things before she found out about her eyes. A shadow extended beside her and AV didn't even bother to look back knowing who it was, but hadn't been expecting that person at all.

"I see some things haven't changed about you AV. You still find the most tranquil places." Jerrica says to AV who puts on her sunglasses.

"What are you doing here Mildred? Shouldn't you be calling your 'friends' and planning your next prank? After all that is your specialty." AV says coldly. AV was not the kind of person to hold a grudge, but her old friend had betrayed her and left her for others just because of the fact she wasn't normal.

"I would, but I can't. I'm…forbidden from talking to them. I'm not even friends with them anymore." Jerrica says to her as under her sunglasses AV's eyes turned bright orange as she sensed she was telling the truth yet she didn't say anything to her.

"Did they betray you like you did me? They must have decided to give you a taste of your own medicine." AV pressed not caring at the moment if she was sounding insensitive.

"No. It wasn't like that AV." Jerrica says hesitant about telling her as AV's eyes remained bright orange. Jerrica takes in a breath.

"It happened a year ago, and…" She started as children and people began to yell as Shades and Gearz appeared along with a monster. It had the body of a wolf with a snake like head and two tails. It had a mix of fur and scales on its body.

"What in the world are those things?" Jerrica asked as AV looks to them then her.

"Mildred, you need to get out of here and get to a safe place." AV tells her.

"What and leave you here alone with these things." Jerrica says as the hybrid creature opened its mouth and shot out it's tongue aiming for Jerrica. AV pushes her out of the way and takes the hit for her. When the tongue hit it's mark AV was paralyzed and went stiff falling to the ground.

"AV!" Jerrica cried out and goes down to the ground and watches nervous as the monster came forward and shot out it's tongue again at them. Jerrica closed her eyes and braced herself for the hit, but was more surprised when she felt someone grab her taking them out of harm's way.

She opened her eyes and saw that both her and AV were slung over the shoulder of Lore Keeper Red and the others had transformed into their secondary mode and were fighting the monster known as Snolf.

LK Red put the two down "You both okay?" She asked as Jerrica shakes her head.

"N-No. My friend was hit by that monsters tongue. She took a hit meant for me." Jerrica says as LK Red tensed a bit.

"So you care for this girl huh? Why?" LK Red asked her.

Jerrica bits her lip "Well…I umm…" she says unsure what to say as LK Red looks away.

"Look if you can't accept people for who they are then you shouldn't be calling yourself their friend. I suggest you think about what you do, and for now you should take care of that girl." LK Red says before transforming in the Epilogue Ranger.

She then takes out her morphor and looks at her options for what to change into and nods "Battlizer Morph: Lost Galaxy!" she declared.

-Battlizer Morph Sequence-

Sora's Epilogue Ranger form was replaced by that of a female Red Lost Galaxy Ranger form. What could only be described as a miniaturized ship flew and flashed letting down two pieces which Sora then jumps in for the legs. The top parts fold back as the rest came down on Sora. She now had a silver-grey chest piece with a large green jewel in the middle and two blasters to her side.

-End Morph Sequence-

The others dodged the tongue attack and it rushing at them "Everyone avoid the tongue. It can paralyze and make you stiff." LK Red called out to the rest of her team.

"Understood Red." LK Yellow says as Jerrica watched them fight. She looks to AV and starts to pull her away. She had already gotten hurt defending her, and she didn't want AV to get hurt any worse than she already was.

Jerrica watched as LK Red prepared the finished as the back section flew to the front "Preparing Laser." She declared as the others heard this and backed away.

"Fire!" she says as the blasters at her sides go off sending bursts of power at the monster. The attacks hit and just as quickly as the monster had appeared it was now gone, and it didn't look like Diablo was bothering to bring it back giant.

"Tale End." LK Red declares as her form turns back to her basic one and she turns to look at Jerrica and AV.

"You should head back to your school, and take her with you." LK Red says to her and Jerrica nods leaving.

The rangers all gathered up and got ready to leave when Zisko appeared "Good day chaps. Thought I would drop in." he says as Sora readies her blade.

"What do you want Zisko?" Sora asked as Zisko puts up his hands.

"Woah woah. I'm not here to cause trouble, but I do have a bit of info I am willing to share. Just put down the bloody weapon." Zisko says as Sora reluctantly lowers her weapon.

"Good girl. Now I hear your looking for your dear old ma young pup. She's alive and well, but don't go howling I said anything." He says before vanishing.

Cassie groans "How is that supposed to help? That guy speaks in riddles." She says as the others sigh, shake their head or in the case of Sora think about what it is he said.

"Pup, howling. A wolf?" Sora thought.

=LOREKEEPERS=

The following day at school the team was at lunch and all talking together "So I've managed to figure out a few things. I know finding Maxwell is going to be tough, but I feel that I'm so close." Cassie says to them all.

"Yeah, and I'm still thinking about what Zisko said. It makes me think…maybe me and dad are looking in all the wrong places for mom." Sora said to them.

Adam glances to AV "Hey AV are you okay? Yesterday was…a little much to you." Adam asked as AV shrugs.

"I'm actually fine. Umm…believe it or not Jerrica talked to me after the monster attack yesterday." AV says as the others frown expecting Jerrica to have done said a few rude things to her.

"Oh really? What did you two talk about?" Sora asked with a raised eyebrow.

AV gives a small smile "Believe it or not we reminisced about our past. Then she…she told me about why her family moved her." AV says.

AV then began to talk about why Jerrica moved. After the prank her parents grounded Jerrica for the rest of the year and forced her to do community service working with special needs kids. It took this to make her realize that everyone was different and shouldn't be made fun of for it.

Yet before her 13th birthday her friends got tired of one of the special needs girls hanging around with their friend. So the three decided to pull the same prank that was pulled on AV on the special needs girl. Yet the results were worse as a few days later the special needs girl committed suicide as the three continued to bully the girl.

"Wow. So she moved her for the same reason you did. Her family wanted her to have a clean slate." Cassie says as they all nod and let out a sigh.

"So you going to try to befriend her again?" Adam asked as AV nods.

"I believe in second chances Adam, and while she did me wrong in the past I gave you all a chance. I should do the same for her." AV said. A little bit away from them Jerrica was watching them and when she heard her response she gave a small smile and recalled the red rangers words. She would apologize to her friend and do her best to make up for time that they lost.

That is the end of Episode 3. Now I said that I would include more flashbacks in this chapter, and I did. Now little note I want to mention was that this chapter takes place after the events of the second crossover with the Star Descendent rangers. Now I know that I didn't have a lot of action in this chapter, but that was due to I wanted this chapter to focus on AV and her past as well as her relationship with Jerrica. I also wanted to expand more on the sub plots that are going on. Well guys until next time this has been decode9!
