Prologue

The Morphing Grid

The Morphing Grid has existed before the existence of earth, before the foundation of the Solar System. It was created on the distant planet of Eltar, in hopes that it would never have to be used or access but with the knowledge that with all the Emperors and Empresses out there that they would eventually start a war in their quest for world domination and they had to be prepared for anything. Zordon and Alpha I along with many scientist and magicians created the morphing grid and several different ways to access that morphing grid including six power coins.

Several hundred years past before Zordon chose five teenagers to work alongside him in stopping Empress Rita from taking over the world. He chose teenagers because teenagers had the highest range of emotions which is what caused the highest amount of power. He himself took the six power coin, the dragonzoid coin. The battle was fierce and in the end the power rangers had to retreat against Rita Rupulsa and her band of warriors. Zordon lost his green power coin, and unleashing a huge blast of power was able to trap Rita in a dumpster even as he was banished into a time warp. Zordon contacted Alpha immediately and set up a base on Earth, Rita's next target. He knew that if she was even to escape she would pick up where she left off.

This is exactly what happened. It the year 1993, Rita escaped, targeting Earth and Alpha V was able to find five of the teenagers, and since this was a new Alpha he had no knowledge of the dragonzoid or its connection to Zordon, and transport them to the command center. He knew them well, although they didn't know him. He had been watching them all their lives, as they were the dependents of previous power rangers. Zack Taylor, who was the most popular of all the male potential rangers he had observed, he was very upbeat and loved to make people laugh. He was clever and brave. Trini Kwan, was a natural healing, she was kind, calm, and confident. She was fearless and agile. Billy Cranston was intelligent, and actual genius and he certainly sounded like it. He was patient and wise. Kimberly Ann Hart who was graceful, smart, and swift and was kind to everyone no matter who or what they were. It was she that would become the heart of the team, though not the strength. He had chosen his Angel Grove teens, and the strength and the leader of the team of Angel Grove was Jason, who was brave and powerful. The attack had happened in Angel Grove which meant he had to choose the Angel Grove teens, besides they were the only ones he was watching that were ready. There were other teens that he watched among them were Tommy Oliver, Rocky, Adam, Aisha and her cousin Tonya, and Katherine Hilliard, none of which were in Angel Grove. The teens must have felt something in the others for they all gravitated toward each other and toward their power color. Even as he called in teenagers Billy was dressed in blue, Zack black, Trini yellow, Kimberly pink, and Jason red. They adapted quickly and fought the monster of the week that Rita threw at them. She had been quiet for weeks.

On the Moon palace, Rita smiled as she contemplated on how to destroy Zordon. He would pay for what he had done, and the best way to do that was to destroy those power punks. She would watch them suffer, and he would finally know how she had suffered befor.e the life e has ebbed out of him. She smirked as she, too, watched over those destined to become power brats. She watched a conversation at the Oliver home with avid interest.

"Tommy," Frank Oliver said, "I know you are disappointed but I can hardly help where my job sends me. But you are just starting high school, and you will meet new friends."

"But Dad, I really like it here, and I'm really tired of moving. I thought after you retired from the marines that was it."

"So did I. But General Lee has recruited me to find out about some apparent monster attacks in Angel Grove, California."

"Monster attacks, that is Hollywood, right? Are you sure they just aren't some kind of escape special effects things?"

"That's what I'm going to find out. With any luck, I'll be finished in a few weeks and we can come back. That is if you don't have a new girlfriend by then."

"Dad, don't start."

"Come on, Thomas, you are fifteen now, it's about time you were interested in girls."

"I am. They just aren't interested in me. And don't try to change the subject."

"We won't even get our deposit back if we leave now," Tommy complained. "And we can't afford two rents while we tell the government that Holly, wood needs to collect their props."

"We aren't. We are moving to Angel Grove. General Lee is responsible for many things in our lives. If all he wants in return is a simple favor, we will do our best to oblidge him."

"Okay, Dad."

"Come on, Thomas, let's spar," Frank said, grabbing a towel and heading to the basement his son following closely at his heels as they begin dueling.

"He's magnificent," Rita said as he watched him. "Do you think he can defeat the red ranger?" she asked.

"We will have to see. Separate Jason and the power brats will be destroyed."

"Goldar, keep an eye on him. I want to know the second he arrives in Angel Grove."

"Yes, Empress."
