Lily Morgan, Alicia's Mother, is portrayed by: Rose McGowan


It was Saturday night, Jared was on patrol in the local graveyard. Due to the Supernatural energies gathering in Bayview, demons and vampires would arise in one of the city's many graveyards. Jared's Slayer sense told him that a few vampires were going to rise. His team mates tagged along to observe and help out.

Noah complained, "So how long is this supposed to go on?"

Jared replied, "Well, I already dusted three of the four vampires, so it shouldn't take much longer."

Alicia followed, but was excessively coughing.

"You okay, Alicia?" Liam asked, feeling his friend's forehead. "You're burning up."

"Just a little sick. No big deal."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes. I am." Alicia answered with irritation.

Suddenly, the last vampire threw both Liam and Alicia in opposite directions.

"There!" Sonia alerted turning around. She sent a punch, but the vampire blocked it and flipped her to the ground. Noah super sped and got Sonia away. Jared jump flipped off a grave and kicked the Vampire in the chest. The night dweller got up and entered a fast paced, close combat fight with the Slayer. The vampire caught Jared off guard and kicked him into a tree. Alicia groggily got up and tried to fight the vampire. However, her sickness impeded her severely, earning her a one way flight into a grave stone.

"Alicia!" Jared yelled. He picked up his stake and threw it at the Vampire's back, dusting it.

The Rangers quickly gathered around Alicia, who was unconscious and still burning up.

"We should get her to the hospital." Sonia said.

~Cue Theme, Link on profile~

-Hospital-

Jared and the others were outside of Alicia's room when her mother arrived. She was around the same height as her daughter, but had paler skin. She also had light brown eyes and dark brown hair.

"Sonia! What happened?" She asked frantically.

Sonia replied, "We were hanging out when she fell and hit her head on the concrete."

Melissa Gordon came out of Alicia's room with the full report.

"Lily, how're you holding up?" She asked her old friend.

"As well as I can, Mel. How is she?"

"Don't worry. She has no major injuries. Only a few bruises and the flu. We're going to have to keep her for a few days. She still has healing to do."

"Yes. That's fine. May we see her?"

Melissa nodded her head. "Only for a few minutes. And just to let you know, she's sedated with some sleep medication, so she'll be a little out of it."

Alicia's mom nodded and went inside, followed by Jared and the others. Jared gave his Mother a silent thank you before following.

Lily sat on the chair next to her daughter's bed and caressed her head gently.

"M-mom?" Alicia asked, her eyes drooping.

"I'm here." Lily whispered, holding Alicia's hands.

"What happened?"

"You fell and hit your head. You have the flu so you're going to have to stay here for a few days."

This statement freaked Alicia out. She shot up and tried to leave her bed, but her Mom kept her in place.

"No! No! I'm feeling better!" Alicia pleaded, "Please don't make me stay. The Twilight! The Supernatural! They're all out there and I... I need to help Jared defeat them..."

The sleep medication was making Alicia confess everything.

"The what?" Mrs. Morgan looked around, bewildered.

Jared rushed forward. "Don't worry, Alicia... um... we'll get them."

Mrs. Morgan looked up at Jared with confusion.

Jared whispered, "Sometimes it's best to play along."

Mrs. Morgan bought the excuse and continued to caress her daughter's head. As she did, Jared felt some sort of vibe charge the air coming from Lily. Something told Jared she was hiding something. He was shaken out of his thoughts when he heard Lily say, "I'll be back in the morning, okay?"

Alicia continued to beg. "Mom, please don't make me stay here! Please..."

"It'll be fine, I promise."

Alicia finally calmed down, probably from the medicine, and nodded.

When the room was cleared, Mrs. Morgan sat down and sighed. "Thank you, for being with her."

"That was new. I've never really seen her get hysterical like that before..." Noah said.

Alicia's mom said, "Well, she never liked hospitals. Ever since she was a little girl." Her face then hardened with a certain memory.

"This has to do with her cousin, doesn't it?" Sonia asked, earning looks from the others. "Alicia told me a little about it."

Lily nodded, "Yeah. You see, when Alicia was eight, she walked in on her cousin dying in this hospital."

-Flashback-

An eight year old girl with blonde hair was with her mother. She excitedly rang the door bell. In moments, an eight year old Alicia greeted them as she opened the door.

"Carly!" Alicia said with joy.

"Hi, Alicia!"

Mrs. Morgan explained, "The two were practically sisters. They wanted to do everything together."

Alicia and Carly were playing super hero in Alicia's bedroom. Carly was under a pile of pillows yelling, "I'm trapped! Please somebody save me!"

Alicia jumped into the bed room with a cape. "Hyper Girl, to the rescue!" She threw off all the pillows.

Carly got up and hugged her cousin. "You saved me! Thank you, Hyper Girl!"

"That summer, Carly came down with the flu and was hospitalized. Unfortunately, Alicia saw Carly pass away. Since then, she'd try to avoid the hospital as much as she could."

-End Flashback-

Sonia nodded her head knowingly, "She told me before. But she didn't tell me she saw Carly pass away."

"How terrible..." Liam whispered.

Lily sighed, "I didn't realize it still affected her, even after all these years..."


Later that night, Alicia woke up with cold sweat. All she could hear was the ticking off the clock right above her. Her head started aching, and her eyes flashed with a premonition.

She found herself walking down the hospital wing. She passed by the children's infirmary, where all the kids slept. She looked through the window, and saw a man standing over one of the beds. The bed he was standing over had a cold pale child in it. This man was wearing a fedora and a black trench coat. He turned his head to Alicia and lifted his hat to her like a gentleman. Alicia covered her mouth in horror. The man's eyes were gray, his face was pale brown and peeling. His smile was twisted and horrific.

Alicia flashed back to reality, got out of bed, and ran to the kid's infirmary. She stopped at the doorway to see Mrs. Gordon standing with a colleague. She was arguing with him. "Raising the temperatures will only put them into more danger!" She argued.

The male doctor replied, "They're not responding to the regular dosage. It's the only way."

"But it's too risky!"

"I have the consent of their parents."

"They're desperate! They don't-"

"If you have a problem with my method then take it up with the board..."

Alicia flashed out of her premonition and pulled herself out of bed. She followed the corridors she saw within her mind and stopped outside the same office. Sure enough, Mrs. Gordon was arguing with her colleague. Alicia then turned around to see a little boy looking at her. He was a young, asian boy with deep dark hair and innocent eyes.

"What's your name?" Alicia asked.

"Ian... The man comes at night." The boy said. "He only comes for us, though. The adults can't see him. He'll come for us all."

Alicia was perplexed. She looked down to see a picture clutched in the boy's hand.

"May I see that?" She asked.

The boy nodded and held it up.

Alicia took a closer look at the drawing. It was of the man who killed the child in her premonition.

"Who is this?" Alicia asked.

"Death..." The boy answered. "Do you believe me?"

"Yes."


Alicia woke up with Melissa smiling at her.

"Well good morning." She greeted.

"I feel a lot better." Alicia said.

"As you should. It looks like your fever has gone down."

"Well great." Alicia said, trying to get up. "Thanks for having me, Mrs. Gordon. Let's keep in touch."

"Oh no, no, no. We have to make sure your fever is completely gone. That's a strong virus you have."

Alicia then asked, "Is that the same virus those kids have?"

She was about to answer, when Alicia's friends, Rachel included, walked in.


Jared was pushing Alicia on a wheelchair. They decided to go for a stroll outside the hospital.

"So, you woke up in the middle of the night?" Sonia asked, curiously.

"Yeah. Last night, a girl died from the flu."

"The flu?" Liam asked. "The flu doesn't really sound monstrous to me."

"I know, but... there's a doctor here who's been conducting experiments to help the kids get better. It's just, he creeped me out. And there's also this boy named Ian. He might be an Empath, like me. He was in my vision. I met him in person at breakfast. He said he saw something."

"Saw what?" Noah asked.

"Death."

"The Death?" Noah asked.

"As in cloak, scythe, hourglass death?" Liam asked.

Rachel said, "Well, he was a frightened child. He could've-"

"No. I saw something too. I have a feeling the "death" they were talking about was the same man I saw in my vision. I'm going to stay and investigate. Can you guys please research this?"

Rachel thought over for a bit.

"Fine. I'll get Devon right on it. As for the rest of you, be ready."

-The Dark Void-

"Roxas, have you found anything yet?" Cepheus asked.

"Yes, Father. We may have found something very powerful. It is located in the Bayview Hospital. However, the Pink Ranger is there. No doubt the others will be close by."

"Then..." Phoenix began as he walked in. "We should throw a little diversion."

"Yes, I agree with that plan." Medusa said. "I haven't fought in many years. A little work out couldn't hurt."

Cepheus nodded. "Go on."

-Our World-

In HQ, the alarm went off.

"What's wrong?!" Devon asked.

"I'm picking up some powerful readings coming from the power plant!" With that, Rachel called the Rangers.

-The Power Plant-

Workers were running away from the scene. Jared and the others looked around to see snakes dropping from all directions.

"Ewww!" Sonia exclaimed. She looked forward to see Medusa, Phoenix, and Roxas in front of them.

Medusa said, "So Rangers, you're finally here."

Liam asked, "Who're you?"

"I am Medusa. King Cepheus's loyal servant." Roxas and Phoenix jumped down from above, as Medusa introduced them as well.

Jared stepped forward. "Correction: You're history."

"Spirit Legend, Awaken!"

"Shadowlites, attack!" Phoenix commanded. Roxas flattened his hands on the ground, forming a large sigil there. The sigil glowed, and black creatures with skull-white masks on their faces rose from the ground. They looked like black werewolves with glowing red eyes. They roared and charged.

"Rangers," Roxas said, "Meet our Twilight Beasts. They're created from pure Twilight Energy to do my bidding."

Jared withdrew his X-Defender and shot through the crowd. Noah flipped over one Shadowlite and slashed at a Beast. Liam kicked one in the face and sliced it with a force field disc. Sonia summoned her daggers and slashed at the incoming attackers.

When the Shadowlites and Beasts were gone, Phoenix rushed at Jared with flaming fists. Jared back flipped away from the fists and shot a few rounds. Phoenix blocked the shots and sent a roaring flame at the Slayer. Jared cart wheeled to the left and sent a kick at Phoenix, who blocked it.

"Jared!" Noah shouted. The three rangers tried to help, but Medusa stepped in the ways.

"Don't forget about me!" She said. She transformed into her Phantom self and attacked. Her nails glowed purple and she sent a swipe at Sonia who barely dodged it. Liam jumped into the air and sent rapid swing kicks, but she caught his right leg and threw him into a wall. Noah summoned his Kwan Dao and sent rapid jabs, but they were all blocked.

Liam managed to get around Medusa and strike at Phoenix, but easily blocked it. From there, Roxas dashed into the fray. He created a strange purple glyph in midair. It resembled a triangle with intertwining circles in them. A sword came out of the glyph and landed in Roxas's grasp. He slashed at Jared, but the boy easily blocked the attack with his own X-Defender Sword.

"You interest me," Roxas commented as he and Jared exchanged strikes. Jared blasted fire while Roxas dodged each attack and fired back with his Sigils. Each Sigil was a different pattern and caused different things to happen, including earth attacks, chains, lightning, invisible force.

"Are you familiar with my magic?" Roxas taunted.

"Twilight Magic," Jared responded, "You use Sigils to cast spells."

"Bingo." Roxas created another sigil on his right palm and sent a force wave at Jared.


Alicia, now recovered, looked out the hospital window remembering.

-Flashback-

A young Alicia walked through the hospital wing to see Carly. She placed her hand on the curtain concealing her cousin.

-End Flashback-

Alicia snapped back to it when she saw Ian at her bedside. "You said you believed me, right?"

"Yes, I did. And I still do."

"He's here."

Alicia quickly got out of bed and had Ian lead the way.

"I thought he came late at night! The sun just set!" Alicia said as she ran.

"He's not here to eat right now!" Ian informed.

Alicia held Ian back when she saw the male doctor being attacked by an invisible force. She ran into the room and tried to pull the doctor away. However, she was knocked into the hall way by said invisible force. Alicia got up and hid Ian with her body. She watched in horror how the male doctor was being dragged away.


"X-Defender, fire!" Sonia and Liam shouted.

The rounds knocked Medusa off her feet and Noah took that chance.

"River Rush!" He sent the high pressured water at the Phantom, but she regained composure and dodged it. However, Noah had a different intention. The water roared straight at Phoenix and hit him in the back. Jared back flip kicked Roxas in the face, then charged his X-Defender Sword with Power from Within. "Spirit Slash!" He sent a red wave of energy at Roxas knocking him into Medusa and Phoenix.

"That was fun." Phoenix said. "We should fight again some time."

"I believe our role is over." Medusa said. "Let's go."

With that, the two Phantoms disappeared.


Devon and Rachel were talking with Alicia and the others via the monitor.

Alicia sat in her hospital bed talking through her Legend Brace with Jared and Liam at her side. Noah was patrolling the city while Sonia sifted through the HQ's archives trying to find some sort of lead.

"Whatever it is, it's very real. It killed the doctor."

Devon nodded and said, "I may know why. This doctor's name was Clayton Lane. He wasn't exactly an outstanding citizen due to his experimental nature. But it says here that he was trying to help the kids by raising their temperatures to burn away the virus. It also states that the treatment was working. You know the kid who died a few nights ago? She was one of the children who were getting better. But she just died suddenly."

Alicia said, "So whatever this thing is, it didn't want Dr. Lane to cure the kids."

"I found it." Sonia said. "It was in one of these old textbooks." She placed a book labeled, "Fairy Tales" onto the table. "Take a look." She beckoned, flipping through the pages.

"It's called 'Kind Schnitter.' It's an urban legend." Dr. Bly read, "Kind Schnitter is german for 'Child Reaper.' Didn't think I'd ever encounter one..."

Sonia picked up the book and read out loud. "The Kind Schnitter is a mysterious being who can only be seen by those who are afflicted with sickness. Mostly praying on children, it pins them down and sits on top of them. It then proceeds to sucking the life out of them. When the child dies, it looks like their sickness was responsible."

Something then clicked in Alicia's head...

-Flashback-

Alicia pulled the curtains and saw Carly drowsily wake up. Then, her cousin looked straight up and started screaming.

"What is it?!" Alicia asked.

Carly was struggling, but was being held down.

She kept screaming, "Let me go! Please get off!"

"Carly, what is it? What's happening?!" Alicia asked.

-End Flashback-

Alicia gulped and said, "That thing killed Carly..."

"Your cousin?" Jared asked.

Alicia got up. "We have to stop this thing before it gets to the other kids. I can't see it since I recovered, but I have a plan."

Under orders, Medusa found Kind Schnitter skulking in the darkness.

"What do you want?" He asked. "How can you see me?"

"It doesn't matter how I can see you. All I want is to give you power. You're going to fight the Power Rangers. They will try to stop you from feeding on those children."

"And why do you want to help me?"

"Well, if you defeat the Power Rangers, then all those children are yours. Then, I can take children's bodies and form more Phantoms. Of course, creating Phantom's from deceased bodies is still a working progress. We may need more. So this is where we can help each other out."

Kind Schnitter thought for a bit then said, "I'm listening..."

Alicia, Jared and Liam went inside Dr. Lane's office and found a syringe in the fridge.

"This is the one that he was going to use." Alicia said.

"Are you sure about this?" Jared asked.

"Positive."

"Be careful."

Alicia nodded. "To good health..." She injected herself with the virus and immediately started feeling the effects.

"Let's go."

Ian got up from his bed and woke the other children. He then led them away from the room and into the basement. If he had done so later, he would've seen Alicia get to the window. But, he'd also would've seen Kind Schnitter, who looked around with confusion.

"I see him." Alicia told Jared and Liam.

Kind Schnitter smiled and nodded his hat once again before walking through the basement door.

"They're in the basement. We have to go now!"

Phoenix walked through the hospital with no intention of fighting. He looked through a medicine shelf. "It may be for humans, but it should do the trick for now..." He took all the medicine and disappeared.

Sonia and Noah ran toward the hospital main entrance, but were stopped by Medusa and a pack of Shadowlites.

Jared got the call from Noah and said, "They're out numbered. Liam, can you help them?"

"Sure thing." Liam took off in the opposite direction, while Jared helped Alicia get down the stairs.

Ian hid the other kids in the corner and tried to get them to calm down. "It's alright." He told them. "We'll be safe. We'll-" He was cut off by a pair of hands that grabbed him. Kind Schnitter held his first victim and pinned him to the floor. Ian yelled and yelled. The being started to drain Ian, but was hit by a metal pipe. Alicia said, "Back off."

Jared helped the kids up and led them away.

Ian said, "Alicia... you're here."

"I told you I'd help you. This guy's a villain and a hero needs to stop him. And guess what? I'm that hero."

She materialized her Morpher and twisted the dial.

"Spirit Legend, Awaken!"

As powered up as she was, the flu was still slowing her down.

"You will not win!" Kind Schnitter taunted. His hand started to glow with black mist and he punched Alicia into the wall.

"The Twilight..." Alicia gasped, lowering herselg into a defensive position.

"Yes... they've given me more power..."

Liam sliced down the last Shadowlite. Medusa focused her eyes on the rangers and shouted, "Gorgon eye!" Red laser beams shot from her eyes and hit the three rangers. She fired more and more, but Liam blocked them with his forcefield. However, it cracked a bit with each impact.

Alicia kept trying to fight, but Kind Schnitter beat her back. As he did, he taunted the Pink Ranger. "And when I feed on you, I'll go after Ian and all his little friends. I'll make their deaths slow and painful. Then the Twilight will conduct special experiments on them all."

"What?" Alicia asked.

"Whoops. Looks like I said too much."

Alicia's blood was boiling. "Yeah. You did." She kicked the being into a metal beam.

"You won't harm those kids EVER again!" Pink energy flowed around her finger tips. Alicia raised her arms above her head.

Jared watched in awe.

"Hurricane Wave!" The pink energy elongated into thin streams. Those streams became pink colored wind whips. She flicked her arms down, and those whips became twin streams that ripped into Kind Schnitter. The being, however didn't want to go down without a struggle. Jared saw how an invisible space was resisting the wind, so he withdrew a stake and threw it. The stake was caught by the wind and sailed into Kind Schnitter's nose. He screamed in pain. The high speed wind drove the stake deeper and deeper. The winds then made him explode into thousands of black and pink lights.

Alicia de-morphed, clearly drained.

"That was great, Alicia. You established your elemental connection." Jared complimented.

"Thanks, Jared." Alicia answered as she was helped up, faintly blushing.

Outside, Liam was out cold. His barrier easily shattered under the pressure of Medusa's Gorgon eye attack. Noah sent wave after wave of water at the Phantom, but she used shadow snakes as shields. Sonia kept shooting rounds from her X-Defender, but it was not working.

Alicia and Jared jumped from behind and fired their X-Defenders at Medusa. The two bested Medusa with their combination of punches and kicks.

"Ready, Alicia?"

"Oh yeah."

"Soul Fire, Ignite!"

"Hurricane Wave!"

The wind amplified the fire's power and struck Medusa causing her to retreat.

As the rangers cheered together, a black cat watched from a tree. It looked at the Rangers with human emotion. It then spoke. "They're coming along, but still have a lot to learn..."

-Dark Void-

Phoenix was in his chambers of the Twilight castle. He opened the back room, medicine in hand. He walked over to a young woman in a white dress. She was in a giant bed, resting.

"Dove, I'm here with more treatment."

As always, he did not get and answer. He went on a applied all the healing medicine to his sick lover...

Medusa walked through the corridors, clearly frustrated. "Those Rangers... they foiled our plans."

"Medusa..." Came a voice. Behind her appeared a figure in a silver cloak.

"Wiseman..." Medusa said. "I'm sorry I could not bring you test subjects."

"It is alright. King Cepheus has informed me to instruct you, Phoenix and Roxas to ascend to the human world are start creating hybrid Twilight Beasts."

"Living Hybrids? Is that even possible? I thought hybrids were only created through the death of the host."

"It is. All they have to do is submit their hearts. You are to then collect the energy released from this."

"It shall be done..."

Roxas was in a library where a crystal ball rested in the middle. His hands were around the ball. He kept searching for another possible being to use.

"Having trouble?" Came a new voice.

"I do not wish to converse with you, Slade."

"I just wanted to check on a friend's progress." Slade said in a calm voice. Slade appeared to be a rather muscular man, wearing a uniform that seemed to be a mix between military and mercenary. The armor was black and red and was accompanied by a sword in a bulky sheath.

"What is it you want?"

"Nothing in particular..." Slade walked away. He then thought to himself, "You'll see soon enough. For everything that has happened thus far is a part of my grand plan."
