The sun rose on another day, at least for the Amalei Region and other surrounding areas. For Rita Repulsa and her band of evildoers, they always had a glimpse of the sun from their vantage point in the palace on Earth's moon. It illuminated the prize they desired, the island that was once theirs, the world that was once under their command.
Rita stood atop one of her Moon Palace's highest lookout spires, twirling a spiky strand of her ancient white hair. She breathed deeply and smiled, clutching her magic staff tightly as she eyed the planet. She turned her head around and looked into the darkened corridor behind her.
"I believe all of your preparations are complete?" she asked.
"Yes, my queen," a calm, timbering voice responded. "Now is the time for me to take care of Zordon. He will not stand a chance."
"Yes…" Rita said, satisfaction in her voice. She completely turned away from her lookout and went down the hallway, the shrouded figure getting in step with her. "With the old fool forced to meditate to focus his power, he'll be helpless. And the Power Rangers?"
"They stand even less of a chance without him. Your will shall be done, my empress," the male voice answered.
Rita chuckled lightly, striding away from her companion and into the main chamber of the palace. Before the other being could join her, a huge hand grabbed his shoulder. The figure turned to see Goldar's apish face, teeth bared in anger.
"Do not get overconfident, boy," the warrior growled. "Even separated from Zordon, those brats still managed to destroy that stupid monster that took you down. You may be in over your head. What are you planning?"
Grimacing, the figure took his green- and white-gloved hand and gripped Goldar's paw hard, removing it from the plated golden shield that covered his shoulders, chest, and upper back.
"Unless you want to have fight you'll be destined to lose," the person spoke. "I suggest you keep your grubby paws off of me." He shoved Goldar a little ways back by his arm, making the beast snarl and get ready to draw his sword.
"I work for Empress Rita, not you," he said, stepping into the main chamber. "So I don't need to explain myself to you. Just stay here and watch the fun." As he finished speaking, the figure materialized into a plume of light green fire and vanished from sight.
