Prologue: End Of A War[]
The Moon. A barren, desolate landscape. The silence of the moon is pierced only by the distant hum of cosmic winds. A dull glow from Earth lights the horizon as a faint shimmer of starlight dances across the dark craters. In the distance, two figures stand facing each other.
One is ZORDON, wearing the unmistakable RED RANGER suit, his helmet gleaming in the cold moonlight. The energy emanating from him is palpable — the powerful aura of a Ranger, a warrior ready to defend.
The other is RITA REPULSA, her space witch appearance wild and chaotic, adorned in dark robes and armor. She clutches her iconic staff, a swirl of dark magic emanating from it.
There’s a palpable tension in the air, the calm before the storm.
Zordon - (quietly, with a deep sadness in his voice) I never thought it would come to this, Rita. You and I... we were once friends, allies. We fought together, dreamed together.
Rita - (scoffs, a bitter tone in her voice) Friends? Don’t make me laugh, Zordon. That was before your misguided obsession with helping others ruined everything. It was destiny that drove us apart, Zordon. Destiny and your foolish need to protect. And besides, if you hadn't tried to arrest my father, Master Vile, and hand him over to the Eltarian Council, we wouldn’t be standing here now.
Zordon - I know. It’s my fault you went down the path of evil. But it wasn’t just about your father, Rita. It was about stopping the destruction he would have brought upon the universe. I couldn't stand by and let him take the Zeo Crystal. So you understand why I can’t let you finish the job.
Rita - (laughs darkly) You think you’re some noble hero, Zordon? Even now, with all the power you possess, you still can’t bring yourself to hurt anyone, can you? (Her laugh becomes more crazied and vicious)
Zordon - Maybe. (He points at Rita, his rage boiling over) But when you killed my family, all bets were off.
Rita - Then let’s finish this.
The two strike up battle poses as the atmosphere charged with tension. Suddenly, Zordon surges forward, rushing at Rita. The battle begins. Rita conjures bolts of dark magic—sharp, jagged blasts of energy that tear through the air with a screeching sound. Zordon deflects them effortlessly, his movements precise, tactical. The two enemies clash, a deadly dance of light and darkness.
Zordon’s tactical mind allows him to stay one step ahead of Rita, countering each spell with calculated strikes. For a moment, it seems like Zordon may actually gain the upper hand—but Rita is relentless, and her dark magic begins to overwhelm him.
Zordon falters, panting as he stands his ground. Rita looking over him with a victorious smirk.
Zordon - (Looking up at Rita, clutching his shoulder in pain) Rita, please! Stand down. This doesn’t have to end in destruction. We can help you!
However, Rita, at her wits end, kicks Zordon across the surface of the moon. He grunts as he lands softly but painfully on the ground.
Rita - (snapping) I’ve had ENOUGH of this! You’ve stood in my way for far too long, Zordon! It’s time to finish this!
Rita gathers all her energy into a blinding sphere of power, her dark eyes glowing. She hurls it straight at Zordon, who braces himself for the inevitable. But before it reaches him—
BAM!
A burst of colourful energy knocks the sphere back at Rita, knocking her off her feet.
Suddenly, a set of people, wearing the other colours of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, land next to Zordon. The Black Ranger, Adrnal, turns to Zordon holding out his hand.
Adrnal - (raising an eyebrow, grinning) Someone call the cavalry?
Zordon smiles, exhausted but grateful. He takes Adrnal’s hand and pulls himself up.
Zordon - Thank you. (He turns to face all of the rangers) You’ve always believed in me, even when the Council didn’t.
Lucina, the Pink Ranger, her face full of determination, nods.
Lucina - We’ll always believe you Zordon. Because you're not just our leader. You’re our friend.
Zordon warmly nods. The rangers, ready to fight, turn to Rita, who angrily smirks at the team.
The Yellow Ranger, Zephyra, points at Rita.
Zephyra - You're outnumbered, Rita. Five to one. Just give up already!
Rita - (laughing darkly) Cute. Real cute. You think your little team can stop me?
Zordon - No. I KNOW we can!
Rita, at her wits end, raises her hands, summoning a small but powerful sphere of fire and lightning, and launches it at the Rangers. The orb explodes in front of them, igniting a mighty wall of fire that separates the two sides. The explosion is deafening, and the flames roar high into the moon’s atmosphere.
Rita laughs, convinced she has won. But through the flames, a shadowy figure emerges... the Rangers, untouched, walking through the inferno as if it were nothing. They stand tall, unyielding.
Zordon - You’ve gone too far, Rita. It’s time to end this war... once and for all. (He turns to the blue ranger, and his most trusted student, Gosei) Has Alpha finished the adjustments?
Gosei, the blue ranger, nods.
Gosei - Alpha just completed them. The space dumpster is ready.
Zordon - Then we have no time to waste! Rangers, pin her down!
The Rangers rush forward, working in perfect unison. They dogpile Rita, overpowering her with their combined strength. The Space Dumpster materializes nearby, its lid opening with a hum. Zordon, his face full of sorrow and rage, turns to Rita. The Rangers pick her up and, still holding her, push her towards the dumpster.
Rita - No! What is that?!
