Prologue
Sumer
3000 B.C.

As the sun sets over the horizon of the vast Sumerian desert, a fierce battle takes place, the sound of clashing swords and shields echoes over the dunes as hundreds of warriors wearing bright silver armor fight with all their might against packs of abominable gray colored creatures; A loud noise rumbles accompanied with sand and debris falling from the sky as two Colossians fiercely battle each other, In the midst of the chaos of battle, two figures can be seen, a man with bluish skin wearing silver and blue armor, and a woman with gray hair, wearing a brown tunic over a very intricate black armor.
Slowly, both figures face each other, raise their scepters and prepare for the duel, emanating energy as they do so.

"Zordon! Pledge allegiance or die! This is your last chance you old fool; we've been doing this dance for far too long." the voice of the sorceress roared over the battlefield.

"Truth and justice are my only allegiance Rita!" Zordon roared back

"Then, DIE!" She screamed with all her might as she smashed her scepter against Zordon's, causing strong lightning around them with each blow.

Both fought fiercely, exchanging blows and constantly creating lightning and explosions around them, the battle seemed matched until in a moment of carelessness by Zordon, Rita managed to land a fair blow to his chest, throwing him against the sand. Rita smiled as she lifted her scepter, concentrating all her energy, so with one last strike, she would finally kill her Nemesis.
Zordon groaned in pain as he watched Rita prepare her final attack, when suddenly Rita received an impact on her left shoulder causing her robe to be caught on fire in the process, the sorceress screamed in pain as she desperately tried to get rid of her flaming cape, Zordon immediately turned his head in confusion, and saw a warrior wearing green and gold armor holding a white pistol like weapon with smoke coming out of it, the warrior quickly sprinted towards him, and kneeled to help Zordon stand up.

"Thank you, Green Ranger…" The blue man said as he stood and held his scepter

"We need to end this now, we have the upper hand master." The green Ranger said while pointing to the Battling giants, a Red Mechanical colossi and a winged ape-like creature wearing bright golden armor.

"Goldar can't keep up fighting the Megazord on his own for much longer, and we already outnumber the Golems."

Zordon examined the battlefield in awe; Goldar clearly was exhausted, the Megazord dominating the fight, it was just a matter of time now; meanwhile the Green Ranger took out his dragon dagger and approached Rita, who was in front of them on her knees clearly in pain, holding her scepter like her life depended on it.
As he got closer he pointed his dagger to her face:
"Surrender now, we have the upper hand." He said, but the sorceress seemed to ignore him, she was still, without making any sound at all.
The green ranger was clearly annoyed by this, and he held the dagger closer to her neck.

"I said-" he started when, out of nowhere, he was engulfed in a dark purple energy field; confused, the warrior desperately tried to punch his way out, but the field was too strong. Suddenly he screamed in pain while his armor started to flicker.
Meanwhile, Rita stood on her feet smiling, the energy field emanating from her left hand.

"You fool! Your powers will belong to me!" Rita laughed maniacally while she manipulated the energy field with her fingers.

"Release him now!" Zordon screamed as he held his scepter ready to attack.

"Move a muscle and he dies." Rita said calmly as she twisted her fingers, causing the green ranger to scream.

"It's time we negotiate old man."

"What do you propose?" Zordon said while trying to maintain his posture.

"You have the upper hand for now, I must admit, but both know the war is far from over, we can continue this dance for a millennia, but neither of us will ever surrender and we'll just end destroying the planet itself with our battles before either of us dies, we need a truce."

Zordon pondered her words, and realized the hard truth in them, she was right, this war had gone too long, and at this rate will end up destroying the planet with these bloody battles, yet he could not afford to rely entirely on her words. After all she was an evil sorceress, her best weapons are deceit and lies, he had to have a backup plan, and as a matter of fact he did have one, but the cost was very high, and he hoped it wouldn't come to that yet.

"You are correct Rita, a truce is indeed needed, and we need to settle conditions, but first, release the green ranger". Zordon said as he lowered his staff

"I can't do that Zordon, he is my warranty." Rita calmly said

"Very well then, these are the conditions, you cease your invasion and retreat to your moon base, there will be no further attack on both sides, any resources you need from this planet must be negotiated with the people of Earth, do you accept?."

"I accept… now let's make it official." She said as she extended her free hand to Zordon.

Zordon observed Rita's hand while immersed in thought, it was definitely a trap, she wouldn't allow him to touch her unless it was a trap, but with the Green Ranger life on her hands, he had no other option, his thoughts were interrupted as a loud crashing sound was heard, he gazed upon the desert and saw Goldar fall defeated by the Megazord, he smiled, even if he were to die right there, the battle was won, and peace will be ensured for earth.
Zordon extended his hand, and as soon as he made contact with Rita's hand, he felt an electric pulse traverse his body; he felt like he was dissolving, he quickly released from her grip and realized he was indeed apparently dissolving.

"What have you done to me?!" Zordon demanded.

"HAHAHAHA! I have trapped you in a time warp Zordon; it seems you will not be able to help your precious humans after all." She laughed as she walked around Zordon, who was struggling to stay on his feet.
"And you…" she said observing the Green Ranger. "Die." she snapped her fingers and lightning struck the energy field, creating a bright flash of green light, after that, the body of a young man lied still on the sand.

"The Dragon Coin is MINE!" Rita Repulsa said with excitement, holding the golden coin up in the air as everyone around observed.

"Alalgnar! NO!" Zordon screamed as he tried to reach for him, unable to move, every second becoming more and more unstable. "You will pay for this Rita…" Zordon muttered under his breath.

The eltarian quickly gathered all his remaining strength, energy and concentration, casting his most powerful conjuration, he materialized a large Amphora; Zordon lashed his scepter on the ground and a neon purple energy that began to emanate from the container creating a cylindrical field of energy around Rita, Goldar and other servants that were scattered around the field of battle; wrapping them in spheres and gravitating them toward the insides of the container.

Goldar screamed in confusion, as he and each of Rita's minions slowly engulfed by the big container; Rita struggled for her freedom as she vilely spited out one last promise.

"DAMN YOU! You cannot contain me forever, the day will come when your seal will lose its strength, and that day I will slave your precious creatures, destroy your pathetic warriors and exploit this planet until there is only ashes left."

"When the day comes, I'll be ready… Until then… you all will be banished…" Zordon said as he pointed his hand towards the sky "To the Moon." And with that the Amphora rocketed into the night sky and disappeared, finally trapping Rita inside.

Zordon observed the amphora disappear and then pressed a button on the wrist of his armor.

"Alpha, it's done…it's over for now… but the cost… Rita managed to trap me in a Time Warp… Alpha I need you to activate Emergency Plan R." Zordon said as he caught his breath.

"Roger Zordon, I'm starting Emergency Plan R right now. A-yi-yi" A robotic voice echoed thought his wrist communicator.

Silence now echoed though the dunes, the Battle was over, The Eltarian found himself too intrusive giving instructions, he did not realize that all the warriors had gathered around him, suddenly 5 multicolored lights caught his eye; His rangers.

"Master Zordon! what happened to you?" The Red Ranger said with worry on his voice.

"I'm afraid Rita managed to trap me in a time warp, my body is slowly dematerializing while I speak, however I have successfully managed to trap Rita as well, and it is with this, that with great joy and sadness I must say goodbye, Rita obtained the Dragon Coin, and I must prepare myself for the forthcoming Battle…
I have learned so much from you, such beautiful creatures… and I will never forget our time together."

The five warriors lined up, each removing the coin from their respective power morpher, their armor disappearing as soon as the coin lost contact with the device.

"We understand master, the time has come for your departure, and our journey together has come to an end…" The red warrior said as he approached Zordon.
"You have given us the gift of knowledge, and we have blossomed.
You gave us your strength, and we are victorious.
But more importantly, you believed in us, and you gave us courage.
For this we will always make you grateful and at your service.
We give back your power with the same humility with which we accept them.
Farewell, Zordon of Eltar… until we meet again ... in the morphing grid."
With that the remaining warriors delivered their coins to Zordon, each of them giving him a look full of joy, understanding and nostalgia.

"Farewell, Power Rangers…" Zordon said as a giant Flying Ship appeared in the sky and a white light engulfed him, disappearing in the process.

The Five Warriors observed as the ship faded into the horizon, and then the five young's surrounded their fallen comrade. Wrapped his body in a thin cloth, and carried it on his shoulders.
The other soldiers formed a caravan, and set out for the desert horizon of Sumer, following the five warriors to their last adventure…

Inside the ship, a small robot was behind a console capturing data, while Zordon was inside a large glass tube.

"Zordon I'm afraid your physical Body can't hold itself together, there's nothing we can do about it." Alpha 5 said.

"My worst fears take shape…but, what about my conscience?" He said with a serious expression.

"Your conscience? …it's possible, but you will not be able to physically interact with anything outside the ship, we don't have artificial bodies in this ship, the only option is to override the Ship's Core Operating System with your conscience, your connection to the morphing grid will remain intact , but the whole scenario creates a problem regarding Plan R."

Zordon reflected for a brief moment, the stakes were high, if he were to dematerialize right now, the chances of rescuing him are more than slim, not only Earth will be doomed, the galaxy would fall too.

"If it's the only option, so be it, we don't have time to spare right now, let's build the command center around the ship, I can control the construction drones from the Ship itself, we still have enough construction matter to do so; the ship will become heart of the Command Center."

"We can do that, but we would have to modify the schematics, construction could take twice as expected."

"We have more than enough time for that, there are more pressing matters at hand; Proceed with the override, I have already marked a location on the computer…"

"Roger that Chief!" Alpha said jokingly, he approached the navigation console, and found the coordinates were already logged in. "Seems you finally took my word on exploring that continent."

"It's almost uninhabited; there are only a few Hunter-gatherer tribes around the area, but they keep to themselves, the perfect place to build our Command Center."

Zordon said, as alpha continued to work on the different consoles and computers, a great variety of multicolored flashes followed by vibrant sounds enveloped the interior of the ship while the tube where Zordon was found, electrified more and more.

"Alright Zordon, brace yourself… Override starting in three…two…one!"
