Replies to reviews:

trunks888: Well, it really depends on which fandom you have the idea for , and also what the idea is. Really, I need an idea which grabs me pretty much straight away. Anyways, thanks for reviewing

Wen: Well, chapter two's here. Thanks for reviewing

Mandie: I don't think that would work - it's been quite a while since the whole thing with the letter (is that right? I never saw that episode...) Depending on how this fic turns out, they might get together in it... But I don't know yet. Anyways, thanks for reviewing

angelbaby: Thanks for reviewing, and I'm glad you liked it

rembrandt: Actually, I was never planning on writing anything like that, simply because I have no idea what happened in the episode. The main reason I asked about Tommy and Kimberly was because, in my opinion, those two are harder to write, at least for me. Anyways, thanks for reviewing (and it's easier to know how they'll react to each other as Tommy's the instigator of this meeting)

Ryan T Morris: Thanks for reviewing, and I'm glad you liked the first chapter

jean: Here's chapter two

garnetred: Well, like I said above -points- I'm not planning on writing anything like that. And as for Tommy and Kimberly still having feelings for each other? I'm not sure about that, either. Again, I said it above. Anyways, thanks for reviewing

Anonymous person: Ok, first of all, it's usually polite to at least leave some sort of username, just so that people can identify you. For example, if there was another anonymous review, leaving no username, I wouldn't know if it was the same person. Secondly... Well, I've already pointed out everything above. I see your point about the whole Tommy/Kimberly thing, and I've just realised the mistake I made, as I meant to ask about all of the characters, but I must have been half-asleep while I was writing up that last bit. Anyways, I apologise for that, and thanks for reviewing anyway

CamFan4Ever: Well... Just see above . Thanks for reviewing, and I'm glad you liked it

Jason walked unhurriedly to the park. He still had plenty of time, and he wasn't sure what the big emergency was. Tommy hadn't been very clear over the phone, but Jason supposed that that was because he hadn't had a choice.

Tommy was already there, sitting on a bench. As soon as he saw Jason, he stood up, and hurried over to his friend. "Hey, man," he said with a relieved smile. "Glad you were able to make it."

"Yeah, it was sort of difficult to explain to Regina why I had to leave so suddenly without telling her too much," Jason responded with a smile. "So what's the big emergency, Tommy?" he asked then.

Before the former white ranger could respond, the two heard someone call out to them.

"Hey, Trini," Jason smiled as the pretty woman made her way over to them, smiling at them both. "Do you know why we're here?"

"I don't know any more than you do," the former yellow ranger answered.

"It's got to be something big for Tommy to call all of the original Power Rangers together for a really important meeting," Billy said as he walked over.

He's changed a lot, Jason thought to himself as he watched the former blue ranger come over and shake hands with each of them. Being Power Rangers changed all of us, of course... But I think that Billy was changed the most.

"Are you doing okay on Aquitar, Billy?" Trini asked.

Billy smiled and nodded. "It's great there," he responded. He then looked at Tommy. "It's a good job I took a communicator with me when I left," he said. "You probably wouldn't have been able to contact me otherwise."

"I'm sure I would have found a way," Tommy grinned.

"Hey, are we missing anything?" Zack called as he and Kimberly came into the park and headed over to the others.

"No, you're not missing anything," Tommy replied. "I haven't even started explaining things yet. I figured it would be easier to wait until everyone was here. That way, I wouldn't have to explain things twice." The former white ranger looked around at the five others, and slowly shook his head. "Man, it's so good to see you all again," he smiled.

"Yeah, just like old times," Zack grinned.

"Should we maybe go someplace a bit more private?" Kimberly suggested. "Depending on what you're going to tell us, Tommy, we might not want to be overheard."

"Yeah, you're right," Tommy agreed. "It might be a good idea to go somewhere more private, as what I need to tell you guys is really important."

Jason glanced around at the others, thinking a moment, then said, "Why don't we all go back to my place? Regina should be gone by now, and she probably won't be back until quite late." Jason's girlfriend took a lot of evening courses, as well as her job during the day, which was a manager in a clothes shop. Regina really wanted to design clothes, though, and that was the reason for all of the evening courses she was taking.

"Are you sure about that?" Tommy asked his friend. "What I have to say might take a while, and I don't particularly want your girlfriend to walk in while I'm in the middle of saying something really important which she really shouldn't overhear."

"Oh, Jason has a girlfriend," Zack grinned, teasing the former red ranger.

Ignoring Zack's teasing, Jason ran Regina's schedule through his mind. Yeah, she definitely had an evening course on that night, and she usually found it easier to grab a bite to eat in town after she'd finished at work, and then go straight to her course. And then, she'd usually ring Jason to let him know when she was coming back.

"Yeah, she'll be out for most of the day," Jason answered. "I've got my bike with me. Come on. You guys can follow me."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jason let himself into the house, and held the door open for the others to come through. "The living room's that way," he said, pointing. "Does anyone want some coffee?"

There were a few murmurs of assent.

"Could I have a soft drink, like squash or juice, please?" Kimberly requested, as Trini nodded, obviously wanting a soft drink as well.

"Sure," Jason responded. He moved into the kitchen, while the others all trooped into the living room.

As usual, the kitchen was neat and orderly, a stark contrast to the rest of the house. Not that the rest of the house was really messy, but there were fashions magazines and pieces of paper strewn out everywhere, along with pencils and pens. Regina preferred having paper and pens where she could get to them easily, just in case inspiration struck. She didn't want to have to go hunting through drawers and cupboards and boxes, among other places, for things to draw with and on.

Jason made four cups of coffee and two squashes, then took them through to the others, careful to only carry two cups at a time. The last thing he wanted to do was spill scalding coffee on the carpet.

As soon as Jason had carried in all of the drinks, he sat down on one of the armchairs. Billy, Trini, and Kimberly were on the sofa, Tommy was in one of the other armchairs, and Zack was seated on the floor.

"So... Are you going to tell us what's happening now?" Billy asked Tommy with a raised eyebrow.

"Yeah, sure," Tommy replied. Then, he sighed. "Listen, guys," he said. "There's a big bad out there."

"So, there have been loads of big bads before," Zack protested.

"Yeah, why do we have to fight?" Kimberly wanted to know. "Haven't we already done enough? We've all got jobs, our own lives..."

"I see your point, Kim," Trini said. "But, seriously, if we are needed, can we really say no?"

"Probably not," Kim conceded. She looked at Tommy. "But is there no way that anyone else could possibly defeat this big bad?"

The former white ranger slowly shook his head. "No, it needs all of the original Power Rangers," he answered. "The thing is known as Crystalina, and it wants to devour the whole world. It has its own arsenal of monsters, and has dark powers beyond anything we, or any other teams of Power Rangers, have been against."

"Well, we don't have a choice, then," Zack said simply. "We have to take on the responsibilities of being Power Rangers again."

"But what about the Power Coins?" Billy questioned. "Our ones don't exist anymore."

"There are new ones," Tommy responded. "But we have to find them. They're for the Mythan Rangers."

"The Mythan Rangers?" Jason frowned.

Tommy nodded slowly, and counted on his fingers. "The Unicorn, the Basilisk, the Griffin, the Phoenix, the Dragon, and the Pegasus."

"Do you have any idea where the Power Coins might be?" Jason asked Tommy.

Tommy shrugged a little. "Not really," he answered. He then took some morphers out of his rucksack, and handed them out. "There's a limited amount of morphs there," he said. "Until we get the Power Coins, you're going to need to use them wisely. We'll need to find a base to use at some point. For now, the morphers will go off once a monster appears."

At just that moment, their morphers went off.

Read and review, please!

Ok, what do you all think? It seems a bit rushed to me, but then again... -Shrugs- Anyways, any ideas about base/monster they're about to go off and fight? I'm anxious to hear any ideas people have got. (Ok, maybe hear isn't the right word... But you know what I mean)
