It has been a few days since the group had met the SPD rangers, and had defeated Reid along with getting the SPD's True Power.

"I wish that we could have been there." Adam said Peter nodding in agreement.

"Indeed. Their one of the few publicly known teams of rangers to have been around." Peter said.

Leo glances around A&C as most of the team had gathered minus Sora, Cassie, and Eva "Any clue where the girls are? I know squirt is here, but the other three?" Leo asked.

Alvin takes out his phone "I got a text from Sora earlier. She's over at Cassie's watching her. From the sounds of it Cassie got the stomach flu that's been going around." Alvin said showing the text from earlier.

AV takes out her own phone showing a text from Eva "I got a similar text from Eva earlier. Since Cassie's dad is gone as well as Maxwell and Cynthia being out of town for the rest of the week Sora must have volunteered to take care of her." AV says and puts it away.

"Well since it's just us six any ideas how to spend today?" Jasmine asked as they all hummed and Leo sighs bringing something out.

"I know this is not my kind of thing, but I actually picked up a flyer for something that a few of you may like." Leo said showing a museum flyer telling of an opening of a new exhibit.

Adam raised an eyebrow "Okay is your brain gathering dust Leo? Because well..." Adam starts as Leo glares.

"I said it was not my kind of thing, but going to a boring old museum this time around might be a good thing." He said pointing at the small print on the poster.

Jasmine grabs it and looks close "Along with other artifacts from the east the centerpiece of this exhibit is the sword known as Goujian. It will only be at the museum for a short time, and on opening day there will a special appearance by...Mack Hartford." Jasmine said reading it.

"...So that's why you want to go?" AV asked looking to Leo.

"Kind of. He's one of the Operation Overdrive rangers, and plus he is in a town that has a ranger team, and the fact that we have Diablo around as well as Yimsim." Leo said.

"Pretty much you saying that either Diablo or Yimsim won't resist the opportunity to go after a vulnerable former ranger so you want us their just in case?" Alvin summarized and Leo nods.

"Yeah. That's what I'm saying." Leo said as AV's eyes turn bright orange.

"Alright. I think we need to do it anyway since their might be a chance that we might get their True Power out of this." AV says.

Jasmine hums in thought at something that's been bugging her "Umm...Not to be rude, but haven't we already had this conversation before?" she asked feeling a sense of deja vu coming over her.

Leo raised an eyebrow "Can't say we have. What? Is there something wrong?" he asked as Jasmine shakes her head.

"N-No. Never mind. Must be exhaustion catching up to me is all." Jasmine said as they all get up to leave.

=LOREKEEPERS=

Meanwhile in another part of town in a house a sick girl laid on her bed and sighs "I wish I could be out with the others today..." she muttered and sighs not noticing a bronze light flash in her room.

Going to grab the glass of water on her bedside table she stops when she sees what else is on it. It was a bronze cross shaped device that had a few buttons on it, and wit it was a note. Recognizing what it was the girl grabbed the note and read it.

This belongs with you, and is yours to use as you see fit. While you couldn't help us when the evil empress was here we have come to view you as a member of our team. You already know how to use it just don't go doing anything stupid or one of us might have to pay you a visit.

-A Friend

The girl looked at the device and hears someone about to come into her room she puts it away.

=LOREKEEPERS=

"I'm not joking Maya. Me and you have had this exact conversation three times now." Abby said as she fiddled with some of the devices in Maya's workshop in the HQ under The Great Library.

"How could we have it three times Abby?" Maya asked as Abby groans.

"I was just getting to that. You see in..." Abby starts looking towards the clock.

"About three hours there will be an attack at the museum by a monster sent by Yimsim named Accelerator. This monster has command over time as a whole. It can slow it down or speed it up, and each time it has neared destruction it maxes it's power to reset the known universe back to the start of the day." Abby explained and Maya opens her mouth to ask something.

"The reason I remember is because of what I am now. Lore Keepers keep track of people's stories, and these stories are directly linked with time so since I do this I'm technically immune." Abby adds on and sighs.

Maya groans "I understand. I'm surprised you haven't been driven insane by the repeating day." Maya said as Abby chuckles.

"Compared to Xolicernic's complaining I had to deal with on a daily basis over a particular ranger this is nothing." She said as she finished doing what she was doing handing a cybernetic like bracelet to Maya.

"Here. This should help in case it does happen again. Wearing this will make you immune to whatever time mess occurs." Abby said as Maya puts it on before Abby starts working on another one.

"Those one's are for the rangers right?" She asked and Abby nods.

"...So does that mean that other thing you mentioned..." Maya starts and trails off.

"Yes. Each time the rangers have fought Accelerator another ranger has shown up." Abby replied as Maya rubs her chin.

"But that doesn't make sense. That team can't morph anymore, and all the members were...wait bronze..." Maya said and recall four years ago.

"...Faithful Sphinx of Bronze Ice." She whispered and frowns turning to leave.

"I'll leave you to finish Abby. I have to go torment a former mentor of mine for information." Maya said and left.

"Huh? Oh you go do what you have to do. Have fun." Abby replies not having heard her.

=LOREKEEPERS=

The rangers had arrived at the museum and after a brief opening ceremony by Mack Hartford the exhibit was opened. The six took a look around as Jasmine still couldn't help but feel like they had already done this before.

"Something is off...I almost feel like I know exactly what is going to happen..." Jasmine thought and heard the sound of something headed for AV she lunges at the girl knocking her down.

"Jasmine what are you..." AV starts as the glass around some artifacts starts to shatter including the one that AV had been near.

"If I had been near that..." AV says eyes wide and having changed color.

"You would have died. The glass would have shattered and killed you." Jasmine said.

"Oh damn it! I thought for sure I would have killed at least one of you this time." a mechanical voice says as a humanoid figure with a clock face for a face and watches on the arms while the legs looked to be made of smaller clock parts appeared.

"You again. No wonder I've been getting the feeling of deja vu." A male voice says as a young man with curly brown hair in a light brown shirt with a slightly torn red jacket and tan shorts in boots said. It was Mack Hartford AKA Operation Overdrive red ranger.

"So this is about the fourth time you've reset everything. Sorry, but I don't think any time you do it you're going to get a different result Accelerator." Mack said as he looks to AV and Jasmine letting out a relieved sigh seeing that they were both alive.

As Accelerator moved forward something jumped down striking him "I don't know what he means by about a reset, but I think having a bull in a house of glass is a bad thing." Adam morphed into his core black form said as Accelerator recovered backing away as the others that were their appeared as well morphed as well.

Leo looked to Mack and the others down "Hey Mr. Hartford. Can you do us a favor and get yourself and the damsels to safety? We'll get this guy out of here." Leo said and Mack nods helping the girls up and evacuate with the rest of the people.

"I'm not a damsel." Jasmine muttered annoyed at Leo's comment.

Mack helped the girls out and set them down "Okay you two can go on from here. Find somewhere safe so you can go help your teammates." Mack said giving them a knowing look.

"T-Thanks." AV said as Mack ran inside to see if there was anyone else inside the museum.

Going around the corner AV and Jasmine took out their morphors "Unlock the Legend!" both declared morphing then went to join Leo, Adam, and Alvin who had managed to get Accelerator out without causing much more damage to the interior of the museum.

When they got their they saw the guys were moving comically slow as Accelerator 'dodged' one of Leo's punches sidestepping a swing from Alvin's axe and he simply went behind all four of them knocking them to the ground which they returned to normal.

Leo let out a cough "Ugh...I hate this guy." Peter said as Accelerator laughed and took a hand to his face turning it forward, and then breaks into a run going faster and strikes all six of them.

"Cheap shot." Leo muttered. It was then that a bronze light flashed and something appeared catching Accelerator's attention and he turns towards the source.

"Oh no. Not this time you!" it said as it's clock face began to glow.

"Reset NOW!" Accelerator declared as there was a blinding light engulfing everything in sight and beyond.

=LOREKEEPERS=

Jasmine blinked and saw that she was back at A&C with the others who were just chatting, and saw that like last time Sora, Cassie, and Eva weren't there.

"Any clue where the girls are? I know squirt is here, but the other three?" Leo asked.

"This is sounding familiar…" Jasmine thought as she watched events unfold.

"Wait…this is only a few hours ago! Before that monster attack…the…museum…" Jasmine thought what had been going on dawning on her as well as the events that had unfolded

"That thing reset the day to this point, and if what Mr. Hartford said is true this is not the first time." She thought.

Jasmine got up "I would love to stay and talk guys, but there is something I have to go and check on. See yah." She says and walks out confusing them.

After Jasmine left she found a secluded spot and teleported to The Great Library where she saw a rather irritated Maya along with Abby working on something "Umm…Am I interrupting something?" she asks.

Both hear her and turn to her "You're here…okay that's a surprise." Maya said rubbing her chin before shaking her head.

"No you're not, but why are you here Jasmine? Shouldn't you be getting ready to go to the museum with the others?" Maya asked her as Jasmine raised an eyebrow.

"So I'm not the only one that remembers." She states and both nod Abby humming.

"While I'm surprised you remember I'm also not. Since time has been reset now five times you must have gained an immunity along the way." Abby says as Maya huffs.

"Excuse me. I'm going to try again about getting answers. Maybe this time I might get somewhere before time is sent backwards again." Maya says and walks away from the two of them.

Abby began working on the bracelets again as Jasmine went quiet "…This…This is the first time I've actually had time alone with my…mother." Jasmine realized as she glanced over at Abby.

"You know. I don't expect you to talk to me Jasmine, but would you mind assisting me with these? I will tell you when I need something." Abby said surprising Jasmine who nods and walks over.

Jasmine helped as she watched unsure what she could say to Abby "So is Stella treating you right?" Abby asked as they worked.

"Y-Yeah. She's treated me better than she has. So umm…" Jasmine starts about to ask something when the alert went off as Accelerator appeared again at the museum.

"I should get going." Jasmine said with a sigh as Abby stops her.

"Here. These bracelets should help just in case that immunity goes and time reset's again." She says and Jasmine puts one on taking the other five to give to the others and takes out her morphor and morphs.

"Trans Out!" Jasmine declared and was teleported to the location the battle was occurring.

=LOREKEEPERS=

Leo, Alvin, and Peter were morphed and fighting against the monster while Adam stayed back guarding AV who was hurt by the glass shattering and her right shoulder was bleeding.

"We need to get out of here AV. You're in no condition to fight." Adam says concerned.

"Be gone!" Accelerator yells as it fires a pulse like attack that passes the morphed rangers and headed right for AV and Adam.

Yet as it was just about to hit a wall of bronze ice came up out of the ground blocking it "Bronze…Ice?" Leo asked/said surprised as the ice vanished and the person who summoned the ice came into view.

The person was a ranger who feminine in figure and wore knee length robes and pants while on the chest was a gold and silver cross with a gold belt around the waist with a bronze helmet that had a cross shaped visor. In her hand she held a spear that had bronze ribbons trailing off the sides below the spear head.

"An Elemental Saint ranger?" AV said puzzled as they all recalled never meeting a bronze Elemental Saint Ranger.

Accelerator growls and starts to glow "Why do you keep interfering?!" it howled and was about to reset time when it's face was hit and damaged by a chain whip.

"Hold it their…" Jasmine morphed said and noticed the Bronze ES ranger, but then shakes her head.

"Anyways. Can't have you go and reset time again. Kind of getting annoying if you ask me." She continued as the others went to her.

"Reset time? Can he actually do that?" Alvin asked and Jasmine nods.

"Yeah. It's done it five times now, but I think I just stopped it from doing it anymore." Jasmine said as she cracks her knuckles.

"Now…let's show this thing what happens when he hurts my sister." She adds on as the fours morphor glows and showed the Red, Blue, Yellow, and Black Operation Overdrive rangers. Looking over they saw the retreating figure of Mack Hartford who was helping civilians to get to safety. He looks back to them giving a thumbs up to them an image of Operation Overdrive Red appearing and vanished before he followed suit with the rest of the civilians.

"Well then we know what to do." Leo said taking charge as he signals to Adam and AV to get away which they do with Adam carrying the younger girl.

"Unlock The Legend!" The four declare as they turn into Operation Overdrive Red (Jasmine), Blue (Alvin), Yellow (Leo), and Black (Peter) each holding their respective weapons in hand. Jasmine held a red lance, Alvin a blue blower like device, Leo a yellow set of what looked like small bulldozer claws, and Peter a black handled hammer.

Leo rushed forward doing an upwards strike with Jasmine close behind striking with her weapon in unison with the ES Bronze Ranger.

Accelerator was knocked back and responded shooting a clock shaped beam at them from it's broken face, and they manage to dodge.

Peter got close and swung the hammer hitting the monster as AV shot at the monster. They then turned back to normal "Legendary Prologue!" The guys called out going into their secondary as Jasmine summoned her main whip.

"I-Is my time already up?" Accelerator says as the guys summoned the gatling gun to them and Jasmine's whip brimmed with energy as the ES Bronze watched them remaining quiet.

Both attacks hit and the monster exploded "Tale End." All four declared and Jasmine turned and saw that the bronze ranger was gone. Yet she didn't bother about it as she and the rest teleported off worried about AV and knew that she and Adam might be at The Great Library.

=LOREKEEPERS=

The group arrived at The Great Library and saw AV with her shirt off and the guys turned away. Maya had a few things with with her as she removed the glass and treated the sections were her skin was pierced.

"Okay. It appears that I got everything AV." Maya said as the younger girl put her shirt back on.

"Thank you Maya." AV says as Jasmine comes up worried. Seeing the expression AV gives a reassuring smile.

Leo clears his throat "I'm happy for you squirt, but Maya umm...think you could tell us about that Elemental Saint Ranger we saw today? I don't recall seeing a bronze when we traveled back and saw them." Leo said as Maya sighs.

"If I had to guess it might be a lost legacy of the Elemental Saint rangers. In fact I can confirm it is a lost legacy." Maya said as the team looked to their mentor.

"A lost legacy? What exactly is it you mean?" Alvin asked and Maya sighs.

"Certain ranger teams even after they saved the world it was discovered that their was more powers to their teams. The Elemental Saint rangers had two lost legacies. The lost legacies of Ice and Heart." Maya explained as she smiled a bit.

"The lost legacy of Heart did eventually end up with who is was chosen for, but Ice...Ice remained inactive for a while. Until recently." Maya says as the others look at her wondering how she knows so much, but also get the same feeling than they had a while ago.

"Hey Maya. I don't mean to be invasive, but your really knowledgeable about ranger history. I mean really knowledgeable. Were you umm..." Adam starts rubbing his head as Leo sighs.

"What blacky means to ask was were you a ranger before?" Leo asked her and Maya sighs.

Reaching into her bag Maya takes out a Red Mystic Knight ranger book, but it also had designs matching that of the Star Legends rangers "Yes, and I wasn't just part of one team. I was part of two teams." Maya confirms for them.

Jasmine was surprised by this the others less as they had their suspicions for a while now "Why didn't you tell us?" Peter asked.

Maya sits down as Abby joined them "I didn't think I would need to, and my past with my first team is...complicated." Maya says to them and sighs knowing that she had to eventually tell them.

"When I was younger my family moved around a lot due to my dad and his job. We eventually settled in a town in California, and I became the Red Mystic Knight ranger." Maya starts smiling softly.

"Sounds like you've been around the block." Adam jokes and was smacked on the back of the head by Leo.

"Yeah. Anyways it didn't exactly last. My dad went and uprooted us again when his job moved him to Paris. It wasn't all that bad as I...I thought I'd have friends who would keep in touch with me." Maya says as Alvin frowns picking up her tone.

"They didn't keep in touch did they?" Alvin asks and she sighs.

"Yes, but things didn't stop there. Months later my family moved back, and what hurt worse that most of them seemed to forget about me. Except my best friend Britney." Maya tells them.

"What bothered me the most was that the guy who took over seemed to have replaced me completely. It was like most of them were only friends...or boyfriend with me because I was a ranger." she continued as the others winces.

Maya then grins "Though it's not all that bad. Four years ago I became a red ranger to the Star Legends rangers in Angel Grove." she said and AV's eyes widen.

"Four years ago? I...I was their four years ago along with...with..." AV starts and trails off as she tried to remember, but couldn't.

Maya smiles "Well I also had some rather interesting mentors, and you've met both of them. One was Tommy Oliver, and the other was Ingrid of the Elemental Saints rangers." Maya tells them as the rest nod having met both of them before.

"So then that red ranger that helped us that one time..." Leo started trailing off as Maya nods.

"Yeah that was me." Maya confirms for them and looks down.

"Though my second team suffered a loss. We lost someone we were protecting. A young princess who had lost her planet. She was protecting two friends of her's who someone wanted to get rid of. Her name was Liberty." she continues and AV's head snaps up looking at her as she heard that name again.

"Okay why did she want to get rid of them and Liberty?" Jasmine asked crossing her arms, but was interested.

"Liberty was born with special powers. The Balance of the Elements, and Balance of the Values Within. Yet she was just meant to hold them. Her real role was to pass the powers on to two specific individuals. Those individuals turned out to be the two people she befriended." Maya said glancing at AV, but otherwise didn't say who.

"She sacrificed herself for them, but there was a price. I'm sorry, but I can't say anymore than that." she finished.

The six took in the information and Jasmine lets out a sigh "I guess I can see where your coming from." Jasmine said glancing to AV.

"So this bronze ranger. Do you think we can trust her?" Leo asked and Maya nods.

"Most likely. I think I know how to figure out who it is, but I'm going to have to go out of town for a few days." Maya says to them.

"Really? Can't you just call whoever it is you need to talk to?" Leo asked and Maya shakes her head.

"Nope. I think it's for the best that I do this in person." Maya said to them and Abby nods.

"I will assist them in whatever way I can while you are gone." Abby says and Maya waves before teleporing out.

=LOREKEEPERS=

"Preparations are nearly complete, and the meteor has been checked over like you requested." Recks says to Diablo inside an unknown location.

"Excellent, and is it's core. Is it made of what I thought it was?" Diablo asked Recks.

"Yes. A exceptionally large rainbow crystal is at the core of the meteor." Recks said to him.

"Perfect. Now go, and continue construction." Diablo ordered and Recks left.

"Soon. Soon this universe's history will be rewritten, and then...then they will have no reason to come here." Diablo thought.

That is all for Episode 19, and the Operation Overdrive chapter along with the introduction of the Bronze Elemental Saint ranger. Who it is I'm not going to say as I might accidentally give it away, but Maya is leaving for now to find out who it is herself. As for Diablo and what he is up to well...again I can't spoil it because we are actually pretty close to the end of the series. So until next time this has been decode9!
