Julianna Sanchez is portrayed by: Seychelle Gabriel
A Vampire dashed through the night running for his life. He hid behind a tombstone, and looked around it seeing no one.
"Safe." He muttered.
However, Jared's voice told him differently. "Wouldn't be so sure about that." The Slayer grabbed the Vamp and threw him over his head. In seconds, Jared staked the beast in the heart.
Behind a tree, a teenaged girl watched intently. "Amazing..."
-Bayview High-
The Rangers sat at their usual lunch table outside. The Five, alongside Lydia and Tobias, looked over at an empty area under a tree.
"Hard to believe she's gone," Sonia said looking away from the spot.
Liam nodded, "But she's safe. And it's not like it's forever."
"True," Noah shrugged, taking a bite of his sandwich. Lydia looked at the Rangers' pensive faces. When they had returned, they brought her to their Base and explained everything to her in more detail. Over the last few days, she felt her entire world drastically change. She had always believed in Supernatural forces, but now that she had seen quite a bit of it, she knew there was no going back. She sat in the Base the past few days whenever the Rangers responded to a Twilight attack or a general supernatural incident. And each time, she proved useful in her knowledge. From dispatching chimeras to dealing with Kitsunes, Lydia had quickly cemented her role on the team. Her intellect combined with Tobias's sharp instincts made protecting Bayview from the Dark Forces a bit easier.
The group was still deep in thought when a female voice made an announcement for everyone to hear.
This girl had brown hair, blue eyes and fair skin. She was in a wheelchair, but her face was strong and confident. Next to her, Tobias was handing out flyers as well.
"Remember everyone! Tickets for the Winter Formal are on sale!"
Sonia grinned. "Jade's working hard as usual."
"She always works this hard," Noah replied, smiling.
At the end of the lunch period, Jared and Noah were headed toward French. They walked down the familiar corridor when they heard a beautiful, melodic sound come from an empty classroom. They got closer and peered through a cracked door. A girl with beautiful tan skin, dark eyes, and brown hair sat next to a piano, playing her flute. The two saw how focused her eyes were on the page as she went through the notes.
She sensed them, and turned around. "Oh, I'm sorry!" She apologized, "Were you gonna use this room?"
"Oh, no!" Jared shook his head, "We were just listening to you play."
Noah nodded, "Yeah, you're awesome."
"I don't know about that," The girl blushed, "I'm new around here, so I just thought I should practice."
"Solid," Noah grinned, "I'm Noah and this is Jared."
"Julianna Sanchez," she held her hand out to shake both of them.
The Rangers walked downtown after school and stopped off by the new hang out place, "Fro-yo Shack."
Sonia asked, "Did you guys hear about the strange attacks?"
"Attacks?" Liam asked.
"Yeah, for a few days, pets have been found dead. Not only pets, but wild animals. They think it's some sort of predator."
Noah turned to Jared. "Could it be a vampire?"
"No, that can't be it. Vampires would only attack animals if there weren't any people. Still, they'd follow the human scent to a nearby city... It doesn't add up. I think we should investigate."
After about ten minutes, Julianna entered the shop.
"Oh, um, hey guys." She greeted them with a small smile.
"Hey," Liam replied quickly, his face turning a light shade of red.
"Julianna!" Noah smiled. "Nice to see you again. Everyone, this is Julianna."
"Please, call me 'Jules,' it's easier," The girl insisted.
After being acquainted with everyone, even a stuttering, embarrassed Liam, Julianna sat comfortably.
Alicia asked, "How was your first day?"
"I really enjoyed it." She answered with a beaming smile.
"So I heard you're from Spain, Julianna?" Sonia asked, leaning in slightly.
"Yeah, I am. My Mom and I moved here a week ago."
"Wow, what a jump," Sonia commented, "Why here?"
"Oh, her job transferred her here." Suddenly, Julianna's phone went off. "Oh that's her now. I have to go guys. See you later!"
When she had left, Alicia asked, "Does something seem off about her?"
"Yeah, I sense it too." Noah said nodding his head. "Jared?"
Jared couldn't shake this feeling. "I sense it..." However, it wasn't evil. He felt as if he had to guide her for some reason.
-Cue Theme, Link on profile-
Julianna walked into her house. "Mama, I'm home! ¿Dónde estás?"
"Julianna, aquí." Her mother replied from the living room. "How was school?"
"Good, boring." Julianna knew this wasn't exactly the answer her mother was looking for. "No incidents."
"That's a good thing." She walked up to her daughter and hugged her. "We should be safe here..."
Julianna looked over her mother's shoulder and at the black box on the shelf. It was letting out a purple glow.
-Base-
The Rangers teleported into Base and tried to fight back how hollow it all felt. Jared went over to the Book of Destiny and started to flip through it.
While he did that, the Rangers talked to Claire and Dr. Blyells about the news.
Dr. Bly nodded. "That's troubling, indeed. What do you think it is, Claire?"
"Well, if it were a run-of-the-mill Supernatural then we would've sensed it. It's dangerous but low profile."
"I think I found it." Jared informed them.
"What is it?" Alicia asked.
"It's called a Chupacabra. The Chupacabra, or 'goat sucker,' is blamed for the killing of livestock throughout Central and South America. One of the most chilling features of the Chupacabra is its large, oval, glowing red eyes. It has the ability to suck every last drop of blood from an animal through a tube-like tongue. It has telepathic powers, along with the ability to hide by blending in with its surroundings. It is intelligent with hunting habits, suggesting that it stalks its prey and kills quickly. The creature is usually sighted alone, but with mass slaughters in one night, there could be a small group."
Liam said staring at a display monitor, "That's not all! Everyone come quick!"
Gathered around the computer, Liam pointed to the screens.
"There are incidents all over the country." He proceeded to pulling up many different news articles from all over.
"I traced a pattern and looked at my result." A world map appeared on screen. The attacks were indicated by red dots. These red dots were trailing across South and North America, all leading to Bayview.
"They're gathering here..." Jared whispered.
"When in groups, they commit mass murder!" Alicia reminded them.
"We have to stop this." Sonia said, "Something is making them come here."
"I have a plan." Noah informed.
-That Night-
Julianna sat on her balcony as usual, playing her flute. She felt a particularly cold chill come to her. She knew that this was her moment to show them who she was.
"Mom, it's happened."
Her mother's face looked at her with worry. "You know the risks, Julianna."
"Yes I do. But Mom, this is my destiny."
~Flashback~
A few days after she and her mother had moved in, Jules was visited by a strange Wizard in white who claimed he was from a different dimension.
"You have a destiny, Julianna."
"What?"
"A prophecy that will be fulfilled. When the darkness floods the skies and the moon becomes blood red, a great evil will confront you. You must not shy away from it. As the messenger of darkness, you will lose your way and rise up as a complete warrior. You will ascend and complete your true quest."
She looked down with her eyes clenched shut. "Messenger of darkness? Ascend for my true quest?"
"You will understand with time."
"Thank you..." Julianna said as the White Wizard faded away. In her hands, a black box appeared; it was a gift from the Wizard.
~End Flashback~
"Ok, I won't interfere."
"Thanks, Mom." Julianna hugged her mother and ran for the black box.
-The Park-
The Rangers waited in the park. On top of the giant fountain was a hunk of meat.
"How long do we have to wait?" Liam complained.
"Just hold on." Noah replied with irritation.
The Five hid in bushes.
They all wore T-shirts with their respective colors, black cargoes and black sneakers. They all decided that that would be their "mission/combat" outfits.
"Where's Bobby, Alicia?" Sonia inquired.
"He's not feeling well." She answered, staring off at the full moon. Jared grinned with a little joy.
"Look! Over there!" Noah pointed out.
Six Chupacabra skulked their way to the fountain.
"See any that stand out?" Liam asked.
They all looked the same: small, ugly, and wrinkled.
"Ok now what?" Noah asked. Suddenly, he cut his arm on a thorn. "Ow!" A small trickle of blood dropped from his arm. That was all the Chupacabra needed. They smelt it and were headed for them.
"Oh no..." Liam muttered.
"Everyone, move!" Jared commanded.
The Five jumped away as the Goat-Suckers jumped at them. Jared kicked one in the face. Liam raised a barrier and blocked them all. Alicia threw them all away with her telekinesis.
However, they came back with lots of friends... The Rangers were out numbered.
A particularly big one emerged last. It also had bat wings.
"That must be the leader." Sonia pointed out.
It charged at them and broke Liam's shields. It was going to pounce on them when in a flash, Julianna appeared in front of it and stuck a stake in its eye. She then kicked it away. The leader screamed and fled, causing the others to flee as well.
"Julianna, what're you doing here?" Alicia asked.
"I'm here to help you."
-Back in Base-
"Well, when I was born, a Light-Watcher approached my parents. She told them I was special and had to undergo life long training."
As Jared listened, everything clicked. Before Julianna could continue, Jared said, "You're a potential Slayer."
"A potential?" Noah asked.
Claire nodded. "Yes, a potential Slayer is what the name implies. There is only one Slayer, but hundreds of Potentials exist all around the world. When one Slayer dies, that power is transferred to one of the Potentials. The Light-Watchers seek these potentials out before they are called up to train them. However, there are many who aren't found, like Jared and his predecessor Katie."
Julianna nodded in agreement. "Jared, I'm honored to actually meet the Slayer."
"Um, thanks, Julianna." Jared nodded in embarrassment.
"Please, just call me Jules."
Liam asked, "So... if Jared died... Jules could get the power?"
Jared answered, "She could, but then maybe she won't. The selection is random."
Before any conversation could continue, the alarm went off.
Alicia pulled up a video on screen. Numerous Chupacabra were attacking people downtown.
"We have to end this tonight." Jared said.
"Right."
-Downtown-
The Rangers arrived downtown morphed up. They engaged the creatures in battle. Attacks were crazy. They found themselves defending from all sides. Dodging, jumping, rolling and flipping, barely getting any chance to attack.
It got to the point where the Rangers grouped together and Liam raised a forcefield.
"Stop!" Jules yelled as she ran forward with two stakes. She had a purple messenger bag hanging from her shoulder. The Chupacabra charged at her. She flipped to the side and killed one. She jumped into the air and threw the other stake at another, killing that one.
The leader Chupacabra pounced on her, but she barely dodged it. She closed her eyes and opened them a moment later. They were no longer brown. Her eyes were entirely pitch black. Shadows flowed from her body and impaled many of the Chupacabra.
"What is she?" Sonia asked.
"I think..." Jared said, "That's her Supernatural Power."
Julianna opened her bag and pulled out the black box. She opened it and took out a silver belt buckle. A black outline of a hand decorated it. Julianna held in front of her waist, and it strapped itself around her. Jules placed a ring on her right middle finger and scanned it on her belt. The familiar morpher female voice announced, "Spirit, Ready." The buckle expanded into its active form.
A ring appeared on Jules's left middle finger. It had a purple crystal in it.
"Spirit Legend!" Jules announced scanning the ring on the belt. "Awaken!" She raised her ring hand into the sky.
-Jules Morphing Sequence-
Jules stands straight and tall. Her surroundings are that of clouds. The clouds swirl above her as shadows move along her body. The shadows envelope her as a beam of rainbow light comes down from the eye of the cloud spiral. The darkness and light collide, sending millions of beautiful lights everywhere. Jules is now in her ranger suit, which is the usual Ranger Suit, but Violet. Also, the Belt Buckle is on her waist.
-End Sequence-
"Spirit of Shadow! Violet Legend Ranger!"
The Chupacabra attacked her, but Jules fought them off with great skill. She swatted them all down like flies.
"Legend Pike!" Jules summoned a Pike with an energy blade. She skewered three Chupacabra and threw them away. She jumped into the air.
"Shadow Drive!" Jules fired off a wave of darkness from her left palm and annihilated every Chupacabra except the leader.
Jules stared down the Leader and the two clashed. Jules blocked the Leader from biting her with the spine of her Pike. She threw the leader in the air and threw her pike like a spear. It pierced the Leader and made it disappear.
Jules had won.
-Base-
"My family always kept the Spirit of Darkness safe for generations. But a few days ago, a White Wizard from a different world gave me this buckle and ring. He told me it was the safest way to use the Shadow Spirit. He showed me bits and pieces of the future. But, I only saw me as a Ranger using the power of darkness..."
"Welcome to the team, Jules." Jared smiled holding out his hand.
"Really? After keeping this secret from you all?"
Alicia said, "It didn't affect us. Besides, we could use you to add on to our strength as a group."
"Thanks everyone, so much!" Jules replied, taking Jared's hand.
Everyone clapped and cheered in Celebration. However, no one noticed the guilty look on her face...
She thought to herself, "What does the Wizard's words mean?"
"When the darkness floods the skies and the moon blood red, a great evil will confront you. You must not shy away from it. As the messenger of darkness, you will lose your way and rise up as a complete warrior. You will ascend and complete your true quest."
