SUMMARY: Jason, Trini and Zack are in Angel Grove and trying to help. The Doctor has taken Rose to lay back down and input Kim's biosignature so the TARDIS can start looking for her.
A/N: Thanks to all of you who've been reviewing. I love to read them. Besides, I can't fix what I get wrong if you guys don't tell me. For example, eagle219406 pointed out that the Doctor removed the Vortex from Rose in the last episode of the Ninth Doctor's season. I'm going on the assumption that he might not have gotten the whole thing and the fact that just having it inside of her would have changed her.
A/N 2: For those of you who have seen the current season finale of Dr Who (Last of the Time Lords), I'm ignoring parts (big parts) of that episode. The Master lives and he escaped the Doctor.
"All those nasty letters sent to your friends. Such an evil child." The Master was standing over Kimberly where she sat on a bed in what appeared to be a bedroom.
"I didn't send any nasty letters!" she protested.
"Let's see, telling precious Tommy that you'd found someone else and he was like a brother to you. Telling Trini, Zack and Jason that you didn't care if you never saw them again since they abandon you for the conference. Let's not forget your letter to Kat calling her a boyfriend stealing bitch. Or your letters to Rocky and Adam telling them they weren't worthy to be Rangers. How about that letter to Aisha telling her that you hoped she was happy in Africa since she ran off and left you behind too?"
"I never sent letters like that! I wouldn't!" Kim was getting scared now. What had this guy done to her friends?
"Well the letters they received were all in your handwriting. It'll be surprising if they even noticed that you're gone. After all, they have lives of their own now."
"My friends WILL notice. They'll come after me. No matter where you take me, they'll find me and get me out of here." 'Hold on to that thought, Kim. No matter what, Tommy will find you. He loves you too much not to.'
"Maybe I should show you what Tommy's up to lately."
"You can't do that."
"Just follow me, dear and I'll show what each one of your friends is up to without you around."
"No! I don't believe you! Right now, they're together and trying to find me in order to find out about those letters they got. I know my friends."
"Believe what you will, my dear. Eventually, you'll figure out the truth. They don't care and never really did."
In Africa, Aisha Campbell was reading a letter that had her completely confused. How could Kim think that she had left her behind? She walked into her bedroom and pulled a small package out from under her bed.
She had received the package shortly after sending Tanya to Angel Grove with the Zeo shard. Billy had sent it with a note saying that it was just in case she needed to communicate with them.
"Zordon? Alpha? Aisha here. I need some help."
"We read you, Aisha."
"Billy?"
"It's me. Did you get a letter from Kim that you don't understand either?"
"How did you know?" Aisha was puzzled. How could anyone know what she had gotten in the mail?
"Apparently, everyone's gotten one. At least of the old Rangers. I don't know about the current ones yet. I even got one calling me a few choice names. It had me confused as well."
"What's going on, Billy? Why would Kim send letters like this?"
"Kim's been missing for three weeks, Aisha. We're gathering at the Power Chamber to try to figure this out. We can teleport you in."
"I'm ready." A flash of white light and Aisha was gone.
"It's been a while since I've done that," Aisha laughed as she caught herself before falling flat on her face.
"Not that long," Billy laughed as he watched her hold herself up.
"Well, you could have helped me," she laughed. Just then, she found four hands helping her to keep her feet under her for a moment.
"Will we do?" Jason's voice asked in her ear.
"Jason?" She pulled herself free of the two holding her and turned around. "Zack? Then I would guess that the one who's keeping her head buried in Billy's shoulder would be Trini."
"It's good to see you again, Aisha." Trini and Billy had walked over to the small group. "It's just a shame that it takes something like this to bring us all together."
Aisha nodded with a sad smile on her face. "What is going on here?"
"Zordon called in an old friend of his. We're kind of hoping that he can find our missing Ranger since we can't."
"Zordon, come in." Rocky sounded worried.
"Yes, Rocky?"
"I'm in the park with Kat and Adam. All three of us received letters from Kimberly that don't sound like her."
"Is Tanya with you?"
"Yes. Should we come to the Power Chamber?"
"Yes. We have some news for you."
"I read you, Zordon." Yellow, green, pink and blue streams of light accompanied the teens' arrival in the Power Chamber. "Zordon, what's going on? Why is Kimberly writing things like this?"
"Kimberly couldn't have written these letters." Rocky and the others turned, noticing the four former Rangers for the first time. "Kim would never been so mean and hateful."
"Then where did these come from?" Kat asked. Her eyes were red with tears.
"Whoever wrote them has Kimberly. She's been missing for three weeks."
"Missing? How can that be? Zordon, have you scanned for her?" Adam asked.
"I have, Adam. That is why I have called on my old friend, the Doctor, to see if perhaps he can help us to find our missing friend."
Just then, the Doctor came out of the TARDIS to see four new faces standing near Billy. "Ello?"
"Doctor, these are the rest of the Rangers. Katherine, Tanya, Rocky and Adam. Also we have four former Rangers, Aisha, Jason, Zack and Trini."
"Are they all Ninjetti?"
"Rocky, Aisha and I are. Rocky's the Ape and I'm the Frog. Aisha's the Bear. She sent Tanya back to us when she found her portion of the Zeo crystal, staying in Africa." Adam stepped forward to hold out his hand. "Are you going to help us find Kimberly?"
"I'm going to do my best. I think I know who took her. He calls himself the Master and he's really not a nice fellow."
"Is there anything we can do to help?"
"In fact, there is. Watch out for each other and keep doing what you've been doing all along. It's the best thing for you to do right now."
"How can we do that when we know that Kim is out there alone?"
"She's not truly alone. The Crane has gone with her to help her." The familiar voice startled all the occupants of the Power Chamber. "Hello, Rangers. Hello, Doctor."
"Dulcea, my friend! It's so good to see you again. I'll have to come to Phaedos and see you in person some time."
"I too would enjoy that, old friend." Dulcea smiled at the Doctor.
"Dulcea, I thought you couldn't leave the plateau?" Adam asked.
"This is but an image, Frog Prince. I too only recently learned of the loss of the Crane. Katherine, I have come to guide you and Tanya, as well as Trini, Zack and Jason to your Ninjetti spirits." The young women looked at each other puzzled. "The Ninjetti spirits help to strengthen the Zeo powers as the Zeo powers help to strengthen the Ninjetti powers. Having both simply means that you are more powerful Rangers."
"What do we have to do, Dulcea?" Kat was intrigued to see just how it would feel to have her own Ninja spirit instead of using Kimberly's.
"Let us go to the Zord bay and I will lead you through the ritual. Billy, you should come too. I believe you need to reconnect with the Wolf." Billy nodded and the six young people left the room.
