The Moon

Earth's only natural satellite had been relatively quiet since Rita had perished the Moon Palace was vacant all this time, however, today that peace would be shattered. Approaching the Moon was a fleet of fighter ships and several large carriers. One of the larger ships crashed directly into Rita's former palace, crushing it easily.

On the bridge, a female robot looked over the edge to survey the damage, "I really wish you would drive this ship with greater care dear", she stated.

"It was a symbolic gesture Machina my queen", a large rotund robot replied. He was largely blue in colour with a golden crown on top of his head. His name was King Mondo, the feared leader of the Machine Empire. Fresh from conquering the Gamma sector, his fleet had been directed to Earth at the order of the United Alliance of Evil. "That wretched palace was a symbol of Rita's pathetic failure to take over this barren rock".

"I'm grateful that Dark Specter gave us the chance to rectify their mistakes", Queen Machina replied.

"And to think he nearly sent that human girl, Andromeda or whatever her name is, instead of us", Mondo blustered.

"As if a human would do something better than a robot could", Machine added with distain.

King Mondo looked over his fleet out in space. He had studied the defences of Earth during the journey and his army was far superior to anything on the planet. He would use a tactic thatRita hadn't thought of using, attack the planet with the full fleet. The sheer number of fighters would easily overwhelm the humans. Quite why Rita had gone the evil ranger tactic was beyond him.

"Klank, Orbus", he called out, after a few moments a tall bulbous robot entered the chamber and he was carrying another much smaller robot.

"Yes my King", Klank replied with a thick Scottish accent.

"Prepare the Quadrafighters and the cogs, we will attack within the hour", Mondo ordered.

"Very good sire", Klank replied before leaving the room. King Mondo once again looked down on Earth, soon he thought, all of this will belong the Machine Empire.

Desert near the destroyed Command Center

The ranger slayer, Eric, Charlie and Lauren walked through the barren wastelands near the former Command Center. After getting their bearings, they were relieved to see that they weren't too far away. "The ruins should be on the other side of this hill", Kim said to the group.

They walked around the base of the hill and caught sight of the large crater where the Zords lay fallen had fallen six months ago. As they looked at the new Zords that had fallen, Charlie spoke up, "Guys you may want to take a look at this".

The three turned around and looked up to where Charlie was pointing. They rubbed their eyes just to make sure they weren't seeing things and then looked again. They were astonished to find that the Command Center had been completely rebuilt. There wasn't even a mark from the explosion that had caused it's destruction.

"I don't believe it", Kim gasped.

"Come on let's take a look", Eric added as he rushed up the side of the hill. As the group approached the main door it opened automatically, revealing a dark blue corridor. "That's new", Kim said to the others. They followed the corridor until they reached a large blue steel door. Cautiously Eric pushed a button near the door and at first nothing happened. As the group prepared to find another entrance, the door shuddered open.

The teens stepped inside the room and were amazed to see an updated version of the Command Center. The walls were the same colour blue as the main door and there was much more floor space than before. The computer consoles were against the far wall, underneath a blue energy tube. Along the back wall were the seven former ranger suits, preserved for the future. Inside their individual cases were the power weapons for the five main rangers. The white rangers case contained Saba, the green rangers held the Dragon Dagger

"Who did all this?" Charlie asked.

Suddenly a familiar voice and exclamation got their attention, "Ay yi yi intruder alert, intruder alert".

"Alpha?" Kimberly called out, "Alpha is that you".

"Kimberly?" Alpha replied hesitantly, the robot then saw the other former pink ranger "It is you, you're here".

Alpha rushed over hugged her tightly, "I thought you were gone", Alpha cried.

"I was able to escape to escape Drakon's mind control", Kim replied.

"What is this place", Charlie asked.

"Welcome to the Power Chamber, it's a room that only appears in the event of an emergency", Alpha began. "A sort of back up if you will".

"Did you come here alone", Eric asked hesitantly.

"Not quite", Alpha gaze then turned to the tube at the far end of the room. It suddenly activated and relieved a face they thought they would never see again.

"Zordon, you're alive", Kim exclaimed.

"Indeed Kimberly", Zordon's voice boomed, "welcome rangers, I'm afraid that the multiverse is in great danger, I need your help".

"Great", Eric muttered, "and It's Drakon isn't it?".

Alpha hit a button

" This is Zordon, Sage of Eltar. If you're hearing this then listen to my warning, Lord Drakon is attacking every universe. He's using his Chaos crystal to allow his army to traverse across time and space, they have dragon cannons, cannons designed to disrupt your connections to the morphing grid. Please protect yourselves, your morphers and your universes...AND MAY THE POWER PROTECT YOU ALL"
