The weekend of the Winter Formal Dance had finally come upon Bayview High. With Jade rushing around trying to make things perfect, the Rangers thought it'd be nice to finally get back to their roots since the Twilight had been inactive for quite some time.

Sonia had never felt so at ease while she was on stage. Rehearsals for the musical were getting more intense, and she spent most of her time practicing.

Liam spent most of his own free time getting lost in the pages of numerous novels.

Alicia, wanting to spend time away from archery and witchcraft, spent her time cooking. Cooking was actually one of her "forgotten" talents, as she never had time to spend using it.

Noah, between Lacrosse and taking pictures with his camera, helped out at the marine biology clinic his mother ran.

Jared spent his time helping Jules acclimate to the new environment. The Rangers met up in the quad after school to discuss all their plans for the weekend.

Liam then brought up, "We should get going before it starts."

"Yeah, you're right." Alicia said. "I made this plate of cookies for all of us to share afterwards."

Jared smiled. "We don't wanna be late!"


The five found seats in the stands of the school turf field. Noah was about to face off with another lacrosse player. In moments, the game started and the heat was on. The rangers cheered for their friend as he tore down the field, weaving around defenders. He dashed forward and shot the ball, earning a goal. The crowd erupted with cheers.

The game ended with Bayview winning 4-3 in a last second goal. The rangers waited for Noah to come out of the locker room. When he did, he had a huge smile on his face. The six walked out of school together when a boy named Bobby stopped Alicia. When he did, Alicia told the others to go on. She, however, didn't see the look of lack of comfortability on Jared's face.

"Hey!" He smiled.

Alicia answered, "Hey, Bobby!" The two hugged.

"I was just like, wondering... Do you have a date for the Winter Formal? Cause I was wondering if you wanted to go?"

Alicia could feel her cheeks blush. She wanted to say yes, but a piece of her said no. The first part got the better of her and she said, "Yeah, I'd love to."

"Well, um... great! I'll see you later tonight?"

"Yeah, sure."


"What was that about?" Sonia asked. The two were in Alicia's bedroom.

"Bobby? He asked me to the dance."

"No way!"

"Yeah way."

Sonia was basically jumping up and down with excitement.

"Well, what're we waiting for? The dance is in a few hours!"

~Bayview High School~

Jared whispered in disdain, "Why am I here?"

Noah said, "You have to loosen up!"

The boys entered the gym and were very impressed with what they saw. There were blue and silver streams everywhere. The tables to the side were lined with food and beverages. Spotlights, flashing colors and a disco ball made the room shine. The song that was currently playing was "Midnight City" by M83.

Julianna, in her violet dress, smiled at the festivities. "This is all so... cool!"

"Isn't it though?" Liam laughed. He saw Jade in the crowd and walked up to her. "Awesome turn out, Jade!"

"Thanks! I worked hard, but it wouldn't be right to take the credit." Jade motioned to three other students all over the gym. One of them Jared smiled and waved at: Tobias. He approached Tobias and the two fist bumped.

"Hey, Tobias. What's up?" Jared asked.

Tobias replied, "You know, making all this happen. Hey, I haven't seen you in forever. What's been going on?"

Jared held his tongue, not wanting to spill his secret to one of his closest friends. "Just getting caught up with school and stuff."

"Yeah, I get that." Near them, the other two students who helped organize the dance were socializing.

The second student was dancing with a girl. He was the one who built all the displays and decorated everything. He had short black hair and tan skin. His name was Marco Ramos.

The third student had her dark hair down. Her skin was darker than Marco's. She had set up all the flashing lights and fog machines. Her name was Nicole Duvall.

"You all made this possible." Liam said to Jade. "Great job!"

"Thanks, you guys are too sweet!"

Noah then asked, "Have you seen Alicia?"

Jade answered, "Yeah, she's with her date."

The Slayer felt a tinge of shock. "Her date?"

"Yeah, Jade pointed to the other side of the room. "She's with Bobby Ramsey."

Noah said, "Oh, you don't know? That's just Bobby. He transferred in last year. He and Alicia are sort of a thing now. But not officially though."

The Slayer let out a small sigh, "Really..."

Like Jade had said, Alicia was dancing with Bobby next to the DJ table.

Liam noticed the look on Jared's face and pulled him away. Liam's voice couldn't be heard over the DJ yelling, "Hey, Bayview High! You all ready for a good time?" along with the crowd cheering.


Outside the school, a group of uninvited guests approached all doors.

The leader of this group sniffed the air and said, "Dinner."


Inside the gym, a girl screamed at the top of her lungs.

Jared sensed it right there. Vampires were attacking.

He turned to Liam, Noah, and Julianna and said, "Get everyone out now!"

The Slayer zeroed in on a vamp and kicked it into a wall. People were being rounded up by numerous vamps. Jared had no choice but to flee.

Within ten minutes, the gym was under lockdown. All the rangers had escaped and hid in the cafeteria.

"We have to morph and get everyone out." Noah said.

"But we can't fight," Sonia said. "Not with that many hostages."

"We need help." Liam said. Suddenly, he heard voices. He followed them and found the source. Jade had tears streaming down her face. Her hands were red from clutching her wheelchair too hard. She, Marco, Tobias, Bobby, Nicole and a third girl were hiding in a utility closet. Liam knew the girl all too well. After all, she was one of the most popular. She had light skin and strawberry blonde hair. Her green eyes met Liam's.

"What the hell is happening?" She asked.

"Lydia, it'd be hard to explain." Liam answered.

Jade piped up. "The dance we planned so hard for is being crashed by freaks! You obviously know something, so spill it!"

Jared could sense the despair in her voice.

"Ok... I'll explain everything."

"What?" Alicia asked. Jared gave her a confident look.


Inside the gym, the vampires roamed around. The head vampire said, "What a feast."

Another suggested, "We should eat them now!"

"No, not yet. The time must be right..."

The many students squirmed in fear.


When Jared finished, Tobias said, "Are you serious?" Tobias winced in pain and clutched his arm, which was bleeding.

Jared nodded, his face stone cold.

Marco laughed with fulfillment. "No way! I know the Power Rangers are traditionally teens, but you six?"

Noah sighed, "Yeah. Us six."

"Prove it." Bobby suggested, not believing it.

The six exchanged glances and nodded. Jared walked over to Alicia and pulled her toward him. He looked into her eyes and made his irises go red. Alicia's Soul Gate appeared on her chest. He reached up and slowly put his hand through, fully aware of the irritated stare of Bobby.

~Flash~

A young Alicia, maybe 11 or 12 years of age, was wrapping bandages around her brother's arm. The two and Alicia's mom were sitting in the kitchen.

Mrs. Morgan smiled. "I'm impressed, Alicia! You really know what you're doing!"

"Mommy of course I do! Eric, don't move to much or the bleeding will start again!"

Her brother squirmed. "Sorry..."

Alicia laughed. "Don't worry about it!"

The scene froze, and and a roll of medical bandage wraps floated in front of Jared. He held out his hand and grabbed them. When he did, something new happened. A voice rung out. Not a loud and distinct voice, but a clear crisp whisper. The soothing sound found its way to his ears and said, "Lover's Bandages..."

~Flash~

When his vision flashed back to reality, Jared pulled back. Silver and pink streams swirled around him as he pulled out spinning bandage wraps. They were silver in color and every inch there was a pink circle in the center.

Jared smiled. "Bandages... That's just like you, Alicia."

This comment made Alicia smile, Asher twitch and Bobby irritated.

Their classmates looked on in awe. Jared held his arm out toward Tobias. The bandages drifted over to him and wrapped themselves around the wounded boy's arm. A pink glow was emitted from the area and moments later, Tobias was completely healed. Jared let the bandages dissolve into millions of pink lights and re-enter Alicia.

Jade looked up and said, "Let us help you."

Jared shook his head. "Absolutely not! It's dangerous for you."

Lydia spoke. "Jared, this story's farfetched, but even I want to help. I know I may come off as a horrible person, but even I know right from wrong."

Nicole said, "Jared, you said it yourself. Your ability? You can arm us!"

Jade rolled away from the group saying, "Whatever... You can do what you want!"

Jared walked after her.

"Jade, what's wrong?" He asked.

"It's just frustrating." She answered.

"What is?"

"All this. My life. I lost my legs in an accident. There's a procedure to fix them, but the success rate is low. This dance was one of the few things left I had control over. Now, it's out of my hands like everything else."

"Jade... You can't think like that." Jared said as he put his hand on her shoulder. "Even though you can't stand for yourself, you can still stand up for what's important to you."

Jade's eyes lit up. "You mean?"

The Slayer nodded and said, "I'll make a plan. And Jade? Go for the operation. If there's a chance of getting better, take it."


Inside the gym, the vampires were getting impatient.

"Come on, boss. Let's just eat them. We're all growing irritated." Informed the right hand man.

The leader vampire sighed. "Fine." He answered. "Do as you wish."

RHM shouted, "Hear that, everyone? Go crazy!"

Every vampire in the room howled with rejoice. They were going to pounce, when someone crashed through the upper window. She was flying...

Slamming into one vampire then soaring back through the air was Jade. Her legs were wrapped in a thin metallic coat. The feet were wrapped with a type of circular jet thrusters.

They were known as "Paraplegic's Legs."

(Flashback)

"I don't understand." Jade said looking down at her true soul.

Jared answered, "Your desire to stand up for what your believe in made you true soul take shape as legs that let you fly."

(End Flashback)

The students looked on in shock as Jade flew through the air. The doors to the gym burst with a bright blue light. Marco stood there with a strange arm mechanism that resembled a portal gun, but it was silver.

(Flashback)

"Marco" Jared explained. "This is used to force open thing that are closed. A sort of blunt key."

"A blunt key? That's it?" Marco joked with a smile.

(End Flashback)

Tobias jumped forward with a cylindrical tube that was as long as pencil, but thinner than a relay baton. He pressed a button, and the end facing the vampires glowed. It shot a white ball forward and when it hit a group of vamps, it expanded into a black sphere.

More vampires jumped at him.

He yelled, "Pessimist's Torch!" And fired more balls of color at them.

(Flashback)

Tobias wrapped a few chairs in black spheres.

"It looks like darkness."

Jared explained, "It's a torch of light that brings darkness."

"Jeez, I know I can be depressing sometimes, but come on..."

(End Flashback)

Noah, in Ranger form, super sped into the room and sliced a few vampires with his Kwan Dao. Bobby insisted that Jared not pull out his True Soul and was just armed with a stake.

The rest of the rangers, all morphed, entered the gym and engaged in quick battles.

The head vampire was irritated. "Minor annoyances." He turned invisible.

"Where'd he go?" Julianna asked.

Nicole stepped forward. "Allow me." On the right side of her face going from her forehead, past her eye and down to her nose, was a green scouter. Her right eye scanned the screen as she turned. This True Soul was known as "Acquaintance's Sight."

"Up there!" She pointed to the ceiling.

"Shadow Drive!" Jules shouted, sending the blast. It hit the head vampire and he fell.

Jared jumped up and the two entered a high paced battle.

Bobby was kicked into a food table. The vampires ran at him. When he got up, they looked at his face and scared expressions crossed their faces. Bobby lunged forward and quickly staked them all.

Alicia untied all the students and led them out along with all the teacher chaperones.

Liam covered their backs as he sent energy discs at pursuing vampires.

Jade flew around holding Sonia's hand as the Yellow Ranger sniped vampires with beams of lightning.

Suddenly, werewolves appeared out of no where, thoroughly frightening the vampires. They were cornered, with the bleachers and a blocked off exit on their sides. Then, jars of chemicals hit them and caused them to melt. The werewolves then disappeared in many lights. Standing behind them was Lydia Chase with a circular device with a baton like handle.

"Hacker's Interface," She explained, "Pretty cool."

Tobias saw her slay the vamps. "How'd you do that?" He asked.

"I just went into the chemistry lab and made some molotovs."

"Woah." Tobias said. "You're pretty smart."

She nodded. "I know... Look, just because I'm popular doesn't mean I don't wanna win a Field Award."

Jared kicked the head vampire into the ground.

"Who are you?" He asked Jared.

"The Vampire Slayer."

"The Slayer?!"

With that, Jared pierced the vamp's heart with his sword. With a scream, the head vamp burst into dust...

The students and teachers were gathered in the gym when everything cleared.

"How're we gonna undo this?" Liam asked as the crowd cheered for them.

Alicia said, "I have an idea. Jared, Asher, the Reversal Spell?"

"Yeah." They answered.

"Ok, good." She motioned to Jade and the others. "Can you all stand behind us?"

"Ok..." Bobby said.

Now with all the fighters behind them, Jared and Alicia joined hands.

"Let the Object

of Objection

Become but

a Dream

As I cause

the Seen

to be Unseen"

Millions of Red and Pink lights filled the room and passed through the students and teachers. Afterward, the lights shined brighter and in a second, the gym was back to the way it was before it had been attacked. Everyone was dancing as if nothing had happened; the regular students and staff had no recollection of the terrible events that took place.

"Night's still young!" Noah pointed out. "Let's use it!"

With that, the teens joined the dancing crowd.

-Later that night at HQ-

The Rangers walked into HQ with Jade, Bobby, Tobias, Nicole, Lydia and Marco.

The newcomers looked in awe.

"This place is amazing." Tobias said. "Why'd you bring us here?"

Dr. Wells appeared from around a corner. "Because you proved yourselves."

"Dr. Wells?" Jade asked. "What do you mean?"

Raven appeared in her human form. "You all fought with the rangers and convinced us to let you keep your memories. You see, you five are brave, strong and intelligent. We would like you to help us run this command center and give the rangers support in their future battles. Do you accept?"

They all agreed, though Bobby was reluctant.

"It is decided." Raven said. "Thank you for your bravery."
