I guess if I'm going to write this stuff down, you'll need a little background. It's kind of confusing without it.

My name is Kimberly Ann Hart. I'm twenty-seven years old. When I was fifteen, I was Earth's first Pink Ranger. I was recruited by Zordon of Eltar, and I've held the Power ever since.

When I was seventeen, I left the Ranger team. I'd become a Ninjetti, which is kind of like a superninja (sorry, I can't really explain better than that), but I passed the Power Coin on to my new freind Kat. I was going to the Pan Global gymnastics games.

While I was training, I broke up with my boyfreind, Tommy. He thinks I broke up with him because I found someone else. I didn't. I broke up with him because I thought I was dying. I wanted him to hate me, so he wouldn't try to find me.

A few months later, Jason dragged me back to AG (Angel Grove, California, Home of the Power Rangers). He'd heard about my breakup and decided that no matter what, his little sister was not going to die somewhere in Florida when all her freinds were in AG. And no, we're not actually related--we just grew up together because our parents couldn't find good babysitting.

We were captured by Divatox, a pirate who Kat and I affectionatly refer to as Divaslut. I actually blame Jason for getting captured--what kind of moron thinks taking a dying person scuba-diving is good for them? And seriously, I was considering beating him up once I got out of there.

Then Maligore turned us evil.

Instantly, I knew I wasn't dying. The raw energy that had been let loose within my body was channeled, focused. It let me become pure evil.

Leringot, a little Ewok clone, saved me.

Of course, you guys are fanfic junkies--you probably know all of this. But I want to make sure. Because what comes next isn't in any TV show.

The power I have isn't unique. I was born with a mutation, like an X-Man, but trust me, there isn't any Professor X or Magneto, unless you count the little geek who can make metal stick to his skin and giggles like a maniac while he practices.

So right now, I'm hidden in an airplane over South America, trying to get my story down so someone knows. Because the Evil Alliance isn't all that scary.

The real threat is the other mutants.

They want world domination. Destruction. Horrors that you can't imagine. And they go to the Sunday mass. They sit next to you in school.

They're coming for you.

But I'm here to save you.
