Eltar
Eltarian History tells of a chosen being
among their race, an entity known only as Zordon. Zordon was chosen
to be the guardian of Earth, protecting it from countless evil that
plagued the entire universe. To aid in his quest, he was given the
power of the Eltarian crystal, a crystal that was older than time
itself. Zordon used that crystal to forge the original Power Coins,
which gave the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers unspeakable powers. Five
teenagers were selected every generation to fulfill the prophecy and
defend Earth from whatever sinister force threatened its
existence.
As years went by, new rangers were chosen, given powers even greater than those before them. The Power Coins had been destroyed, and the rangers turned to the power of sacred animals. With that power, they were able to put an end to evil.
Or so they thought.
For good to survive, evil must exist. It is the balance of power in the universe, the only constant that maintains the world. Soon, new evil arose, and the rangers went on a quest for Zeo Crystals. Along the way, new rangers joined the fold, taking their places in Destiny, while other rangers stepped down, allowing a new legacy to be born. Finally, after generations of struggle, after countless battles, after an infinite number of causalities, the war was finally over. Evil had been banished from the universe, and a new era of peace was born.
Eltarian history also has a much darker chapter to it, a section of history that is better forgotten. In the mist of peace, a new evil emerged, an evil from within...
On the distant planet of Eltar, the Eltarian's led simple lives. They had put aside the complications of technology; going back to a simpler was of life. Most were farmers; others were doctors of some sort. After all the chaos and destruction caused on Earth and other neighboring planets, the Great Sage, who was considered a GOD to the Eltarian people, decreed that technology in all its forms would be outlawed. The Eltarian Crystal, used to give the original Power Rangers their powers, was locked away in the Temple of Light. Although it was a pure energy, untainted by the corruption of evil, if it were to fall into the wrong hands, it would give the holder of the crystal absolute power over time and space. Zordon was given that power, and he died trying to protect it.
That brought us to the present... the year as 2020 A.D., and peace was still the dominant force in the universe. Eltar was still known as the focal point for prosperity, but beneath the surface, a plan was being formed. There were a handful of Eltarian's who believed that the abandonment of all technology would be the downfall of their species. The Great Sage banished them from the surface, driving them underground. It had been years since the judgment was passed, and that had given those forsaken by the rest of their people time to devise their plans. Zolara, once the most trusted advisor of The Great Sage, and last surviving descendant of Zordon, was now the leader of the underground resistance.
"Once we have acquired the Eltarian crystal, The Great Sage himself will bow before me, and the entire universe will bend to my will," she said with a tone of confidence in her voice.
"But master, only the Heirs of destiny may enter the Temple of Light. Until we find a way past the eye of the Temple, we will never be able to gain control of the crystal," Alpha VII reminded her.
Alpha VII was the last in the series of robots designed to assist the Eltarian people in their era of technology. The model had been discontinued, but Zolara had restored it and reprogrammed it. She made it's mission parameters very clear: the retrieval of the Eltarian crystal and the resurrection of Zordon.
"I'm well aware of that Alpha, but I have a plan to not only acquire the crystal, but to eliminate their Heirs of Destiny before they have a chance to interfere with our plans. Tell me, does the trans-dimensional teleportation unit still work?" she asked.
"Yes master," he informed her.
"Excellent, activate it and set coordinates for the planet Earth: the city of Angel Grove," she said with a sinister smile on her face.
Angel Grove, California
When Dimitri told him it was time to step down, he regretted the decision to leave. Divatox was threatening the city, and he couldn't understand why Dimitri would want him to hand over his morpher to a rookie. Granted, TJ was a good fighter, but he had no idea of the dangers he was going to face. Despite his personal feelings on it, it all seemed to work out for the best. It had been years since he even thought about his time as a Power Ranger. Things had changed for Tommy now. He was married, he had a daughter, he was happy. The only reason his past crossed his mind was the 20-year anniversary of Zordon's death was a few days away. He knew that his wife had realized it by now as well, but neither of them had spoken about it. It was a part of their lives that they were ready to leave behind them, and look towards the future.
It pleased him that his daughter, Kim had taken such an interest in the martial arts; it gave them a common interest. Part of him missed the battles, missed the action, but he also knew that at the ripe age of 39, there was no way he'd be able to go back to that life. His thoughts were interrupted as Kim barged in the door, helping her mother inside and sat her on the couch.
"What happened?" he asked, coming back to reality.
"Nothing honey, its fine," his wife assured him.
"I didn't mean to kick you so hard mom," Kim insisted as she put an ice pack on her mother's face, then looked towards her father.
"We were training again," she told him.
"You think by now, I'd know how to duck," Kat laughed.
Tommy cracked a smile.
"You think you can take your old man?" he asked.
Kim nodded at him.
"Better hope your back doesn't go out on you or something," she mentioned.
Katherine made it back to her feet, and the three of them headed to the backyard. Tommy and Katherine made sure their daughter had all the training equipment she would ever need. Both of them had been surprised on how nature a lot of her skills had come to her, but ironically enough, they never mentioned their past to her. They had done their best to shield Kim from their past. After the original pink ranger, Kimberly Hart, passed away, Katherine and Tommy thought it was only fitting they name there first born child after her. Although saving the world had its rewards, it was far outweighed by the consequences.
Kim and Tommy stood across from one another on a blue mat, bowing at one another. Instantly, they both went into a fighting position. Tommy went for a spin kick, but Kim was able to block it, trying for a sweep. Tommy saw it coming and avoided it, doing a backflip, but before he could get back to his feet, Kim caught him with a kick to the back. Tommy stumbled to the ground, but as Kim charged at him, he wrapped his legs around her ankles and tripped her, sending her to the ground as well. Kim fell face first to the mat and was motionless. Tommy quickly got back to his feet, leaning over his daughter to check on her.
"You okay sweetie?" he inquired.
He leaned down to help her up, but she rolled over, kicking him between the legs, following up with a kick to the side of the head. Tommy flipped off the mat, falling in the grass as Kim got back to her feet. This time, Kim reached down to help her father up, but they were interrupted as a blinding white light shined through the clouds, landing in only a few feet away from them. The three of them covered their eyes to protect it from the light, and as the light dissipated, there was a woman standing exactly where the light had touched down. She wore an all white robe, but when she pulled the hood back, Tommy was able to get a good look at her.
"Tommy, Katherine, greetings from Eltar," the woman said calmly.
Tommy and Kat stared at the woman with a look of disbelief. They speculated that she was a member of the Eltarian race, but the only Eltarian they had ever seen was Zordon.
"Who are you?" Kat asked, breaking the silence and taking a step forward.
"I am Zolara, last living relative of the one you once called Zordon. My brother spoke highly of you, he trusted you, and because of that, I am here to ask for your help," she explained.
"Our help? For what?" Tommy replied.
Zolara took a step forward.
"The entire universe is in grave danger. A new force of evil is spreading its way through the galaxy, but I have a plan that could shift the balance of power. I have a plan to resurrect Zordon," she explained.
Tommy and Kat looked at one another, then at their daughter. They knew that by agreeing to help Zolara would be reopening a part of their lives they both wanted to forget. They had done their part for the world, saving Angel Grove more times than either of them cared to remember, but if there was a chance to bring Zordon back, no matter how grave the risk, they would have to take it.
"We'll do it," Kat said, answering for both of them.
Zolara shook her head in disagreement.
"I think you misunderstood me Katherine, I'm not here for you. I'm here for your daughter," Zolara said.
