Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Just a little background info: This story takes place mid-zeo. Tommy received Kim's letter one week before this story. Currently there are no rangers, as evil has been diminished for two whole months. The gold ranger stuff never happens. The Command Center was not destroyed, only the Ninja Powers.

The prologue of this story is really short so it's going to be posted with the first chapter.

Prologue

"Shiva, it is time. Earth is ours,"
Ch1

Zordon suddenly awoke from his sleep.

"Zordon, what causes you to wake so early?" Alpha asked.

"I sense that a new battle with evil is about to begin," Zordon answered.

"Shall I teleport five teenagers with attitude?" Alpha queried.

"I'm afraid this new evil is too great to bring in inexperienced fighters," Zordon sighed. "It is Shiva and Zigana,"

"What do we do?"

"Contact Kimberly, Tommy, Adam, Aisha, Rocky, and."

"And who?"

"It is time to contact Ciara,"

Kimberly Hart sat on Angel's Bluff, staring wistfully at the sunset.

She had just dropped her bag's off at her new apartment back in Angel Grove.

Her face looked as if it had seen many deaths. It was aged and looked wiser.

Tears welled in her eyes at the memories coming back.

She had had to come back. Because no one knew. They needed to know, and they didn't.

Things had been kept very quiet. It was only played on the news in Europe.

"Damn them," she muttered, tears beginning to fall. "Damn them!" she shouted. She cried out as she jostled her arm, which was wrapped in a light blue cast.

She buried her head in her knees and was barely aware of being teleported.

Adam Park sighed as he sat down at his desk and ran a hand through his hair.

His notebook page was already three quarters of the full. He missed being a ranger. It had been two months since they had defeated the Machine Empire and Zordon had relieved them of their duties.

All he was writing was how he missed the power. It had kept most of the rangers really close.

Now even Rocky, who he had been friends with before, had barely been seen lately. He was planning on going to Africa to meet up with Aisha.

Tanya had broken up with him and moved to LA, to try and make it as a star.

Last he heard Billy was in Switzerland.

Kat had moved back to Australia.

And Tommy, he had remained beating up a punching bag since he didn't have rangering to distract him from "the letter".

Adam sighed again. All of his friends were forgetting the others, and there was nothing he could do.

He became more alert as he was teleported.

* * *

Tommy sat down after attacking a punching bag for 75 minutes. His breathing was labored and sweat covered his body.

"Why would she send that god damned letter?" he asked angrily. "Why?"

He barely realized he was teleported.

* * *

Aisha walked into her hut out of the heat. She missed her friends. She felt like she never should have stayed. She missed her friends.

The plague hadn't changed at all.

She didn't know anything about the fight against evil.

She didn't know how her friends were. They didn't know how to reach her. (They didn't know if mail was delivered there)

"Why did I stay?" she asked herself. "I'm not doing anything that wasn't being done. I miss my friends. Especially Rocky," she added as an afterthought.

She looked around the hut. "I'm going back," she decided. Then she was teleported.

* * *

Rocky DeSantos stepped out of his room after dragging his suitcase out.

He had purchased a ticket to Africa. One-way. He missed Aisha. A lot. And he had to see her again.

They had started dating a few weeks before she left, and had decided to keep it a secret.

When she left, they hadn't broken up. He couldn't wait to see her. Then he was teleported.

Kim landed in the Command Center without realizing it. She continued to cry.

Alpha walked over. "Kimberly, what's wrong?"

Kimberly looked up, still crying. "Wh-what am I doing here?" she wiped her eyes with her good arm.

"Alpha, please delay in contacting Ciara," Zordon boomed.

"Certainly," Alpha answered. "Kimberly?"

"I'm fine," she sighed. "Why did you bring me here?"

"Zordon what's going on?" Adam asked as he landed. Then he saw Kim. "Kim? Are you OK? What happened to you arm?"

"It's nothing," Kim said. "I'll explain, but I need the other rangers here. I've already explained it six times and I only want to do it once more,"

"Explain what?" Tommy questioned. He was shocked to see Kim, semi-angry with her for sending the letter, but seeing her now, sitting there, hurt and upset, he completely forgot everything. He rushed forward and knelt beside her.

Kim nodded. "Zordon, are the others coming?"

Before Zordon could answer Rocky and Aisha landed. They saw each other and ran to each other, Aisha placing a kiss on his cheek.

Aisha then looked around. "What's going on?" she asked. "Why is Kim crying? What happened to her arm?"

"Before I explain why I have summoned you here," Zordon said. "I believe Kimberly has something to tell us,"

Kim nodded. "About three weeks ago I quit training in Florida and moved to Switzerland. To be with Trini, Jason, Zack, and Billy. It was great. The original five back together. About a two weeks ago, there was a huge party, signifying the end of the Peace Conference. Everyone was going back to their homes the next day. We had all stepped off the dance floor to get some punch when there was an explosion. We turned around to see a ball of fire engulf the other side of the room.

"Another explosion that was closer quickly followed. Jason dove on top of me to protect me and everyone ducked.

"We were trapped for two days, and when the rescuers found us, I was the only one left alive," Kim's voice caught in her throat. "I-I tried everything to save them. I did everything I could, and they're still dead," she began to sob. " I'm so sorry,"
