The explosion rocked the Earth. All over the Earth, buildings collapsed, asphalt broke up, chasms opened in the ground and bodies fell. Thousands of bodies. Lying crumpled among the bodies were bodies clothed in red, blue, green, yellow, pink and black suits among other colors. The Power Rangers, for all intents and purposes, had been destroyed.

"Ahhh..." Connor McKnight leaned back in his chair in the underground lab that housed the Dino Thunder Rangers. "We finally beat Mesagog. Finally."
Trent grinned from his seat on the steps next to Kira. "Yep. No more evil."
A klaxon began blaring from somewhere nearby and Hayley swiveled around from the computer to face the room at large. "Forget to knock on wood?"
"What is it?" Dr. Oliver asked, moving to stand next to her.
"I don't really know, but massive surges of evil have popped up all over the globe. I'm reading them in Angel Grove, Mariner Bay, Jungle Karma Pizza Place, Silver City*, somewhere that I don't know the name of, Blue Bay Harbor, and a town near Rootcore. There's also a place near Andrew Hartford's manor...and Reefside." Hayley glanced around at the faces around her, "I'm also reading a town near the Ninja Rangers' lair. Something's going down."
Tommy looked at Trent and Connor. "Call Kira and Ethan. Tell them to meet us," he paused and looked closer at the screen, "at the corner of Taylor St. and McConnelly Rd. Come on, guys."
Trent and Connor followed Tommy up the stairs as Trent radioed the other two Rangers.

Deep in a tree, Madison and Nick were practicing spells when they were alerted to the evil arousing around the globe.
"Everywhere there's Rangers, there's evil. Including here." Nick pointed out. "Something's not right. Call V and Chip. Tell them to meet us at the Rock Porium. The evil seems to be emanating from there."
As he and Madison rushed from the room, he called Xander and Daggeron.

Dana and Kelsey dashed down the hallway as the sirens blared above them. "What do you think is going on?" Dana asked as they ran.
"I'm guessing something bad." Kelsey gasped.
When they entered Ops two minutes later, Carter and Chad were the only ones there besides Captain Mitchell.
"What's up?" Dana asked her boyfriend as she slipped in beside Carter.
"All areas on the Earth where Rangers are known to serve and live are swarming with evil. We've got the epicenter of the evil surrounding Mariner Bay at the Community Center. Let's go." Carter replied.
"Kelsey, call Joel. Dana, grab Ryan on the way out. Move, move, move!" Captain Mitchell's face showed not the slightest hint of fear, though the emotion was coursing through every vein in his body.

Ashley was excited when Andros came up to her, but when she saw his face, she began to have second thoughts.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
"Jason just heard from Alpha that Angel Grove is being buried in evil. It's coming from the Youth Center. He's called up all the Space, Zeo or Turbo Rangers and the original Rangers. We gotta go." Andros told her.
"What about the others?" she asked.
"They'll meet us at the Center. Come on!" Andros grabbed her hand and led her out of the room.

Jen looked at her watch and tapped her foot anxiously. Wes was twenty minutes late. So when his motorcycle squealed to a stop at the curb a minute later, she was prepared to ream him out. The scowl on his face made her pause.
"Grab a helmet, hop on. We've got to be at the Capital in twenty minutes ago." Wes tossed her a pink helmet and motioned for her to join him.
"What's up?" she asked, strapping the helmet on.
"Trouble."

Dustin's communicator dinged as he leaned into the final turn. Instead he continued on a straight path and off the track.
"Dustin." He pressed the button on his communicator that would answer the call.
"Dustin, Shane. We've got major trouble at the Civic Center. Grab Blake and Hunter and meet me, Cam and Tori there. Out."
Two bikes rolled to stops behind Dustin. "Problems, Dustin?" Blake spoke up.
"Yeah. Let's go." And he roared away, followed by two very bewildered Thunder Rangers.

Rose walked down the hallways of the school, juggling books and notebooks. Her last class had just ended and she was off to meet Mack. Students milled all around her. She was whistling a meaningless tune when suddenly an irritating beeping started.
Ducking into an empty classroom, Rose fished out her Tracker and flipped it open. "What's the emergency?"
Andrew Hartford's voice came from the Tracker. "We need you at the town center, Rose. Big trouble afoot. Come as quickly as you can."
Rose left the classroom and hurried for the exit.

"Max here. What do you need, Danny?"

Max snapped the phone closed and broke into a run.

Casey was behind. He was trying to make pizzas but Dominick was playing practical jokes again and he kept having to hunt up the ingredients. Like now, he was searching for the cheese.
"Dominick! Where did you hide the cheese?" Casey called exasperatedly. Just then, RJ rushed into the kitchen. "What's up?" Casey asked warily, giving up on finding the cheese.
"Don't know. Lots of evil…everywhere. And we've got our share here. I'll grab Dom on the way out. Lily, Theo and Jared are already on their way. Let's go!"
Casey yanked off his apron and followed RJ out the door,.

All nine Ranger teams rushed towards the danger in their own small parts of the world. Little did they know that danger also faced the Ranger team on Miranoi and that all this danger was not like anything they'd ever faced before. Or were likely to face ever again.
