AUTHOR'S NOTE

Maybe it's because I'm lazy, but I don't feel like putting up the disclaimer for every chapter, so until I find original characters, everyone here belongs to Haim Saban, Fox Kids, and Disney. Oh, and unless specifically stated that they died in "Countdown To Destruction", I'm going to be bringing back some old villains.

CHAPTER ONE: CALL FOR HELP

2004: Florida

Kimberly Hart raced into her apartment. Oh man, oh man, oh man! I need help! she thought frantically. She heard a roar behind her and she quickly shut the door and locked it.

"Let me in, Pink Ranger!" a voice roared.

"Fat chance, Goldar," Kimberly snapped. She ran across the room. Great! Why couldn't I have kept a communicator or something? she griped. Suddenly, the door flew open! Kimberly screamed. Goldar laughed when he saw the former Pink Ranger standing in fear. His sword glowed yellow and he thrust the ball of energy at the girl. She moaned in pain as it connected with her. The woman crawled to the computer. Help. Get help, she told herself. Luckily, she had left the computer on before leaving that morning. I need something fast. Something that will stress the urgency, she thought. Suddenly, she was hit with a flashback.

"Kim, if you ever need me---any of you---just send out the music of the dagger and I'll come," Tommy told her.

"Promise?" Kimberly asked.

"I promise," Tommy responded. The Dragon Dagger. Tommy will know its sound, she thought. She climbed to her knees.

"Why don't you just give up? There is no one to save you," Goldar cackled.

"We'll see about that," Kimberly stated. With that, she reached for a button that was attached to the console. Oh, thank you, Billy, she thought. Then, she leaned forward. Another energy burst hit her and she fell forward, striking the button. Immediately, a fanfare rang out.
