Power Rangers – Ooze Oblivion
Legacy of Phaedos
Across the galaxy, everyone had heard of the legend of the ninjetti…. formidable warriors hailing from Phaedos, who wielded their animal spirits to fight for justice and defeat indomitable evil that would make Dark Spectre look like a mere annoyance.
The people of Phaedos, the Nathadians were the direct descendants of the Morphin Masters and protectors of the mysterious Monolith, the last gateway to the Morphin Grid. The planet was protected by the Grid itself, such that it could not be blasted to smithereens by war zords like Serpenterra. No one the Grid deemed unworthy could set their foot on the planet let alone approach the monolith.
Long before Eltar, Edenoi, Aquitar, Oa or even Rafkon was a leading influence in galactic politics, the people of Phaedos maintained order in the entire universe, empowered by the sacred animal spirits of the Grid. They chose warriors from across the universe from different planets to join their ranks.
However, nothing good ever lasts forever. A civil war between Ninjor and Ninjakon, the two princes of Phaedos reduced the planet from a major galactic force to a playground where grid energy ran afoul, where only the fiercest of warriors could survive.
The people of Phaedos fled to other planets and space colonies in droves and the once great Nathadian Empire fell, driving the galaxy into an era of chaos and uncertainty. With the Great Power and the ninjetti animal spirits rendered inaccessible, warriors sought different ways to access the Grid energies.
Some chose technology to harness raw cosmic energy into weapons, shields and armour… Over time, they became power rangers.
Others did the same but instead of technology, they used talismans, totems and magic.
Ninjakon, seeking to atone for the role he played in Phaedos' fall, nearly drove himself mad seeking to find an alternative to the ninjetti but ultimately succeeded after thousands of years, searching the Grid for answers. He found himself on Earth, when it was being attacked by demons from other dimensions and taught what he knew to handful of brave warriors, who started calling themselves ninjas in his honour. They channelled elemental energies of fire, water, earth, air, light, sound and shadow to defeat evil forces. Eventually, they created various ninja academies to protect humanity from darkness.
The Hayate Way in Japan taught their students all elements. Over the centuries, the academy graduates opened their own academies in various key places across the globe. The Wind Ninja Academy, located in Blue Bay Harbour, near the opening of the Abyss of Evil, taught their students how to channel the elements of air, water and earth. The Thunder Ninja Academy in Stone Canyon, near the Shadow Nexus taught their students how to channel lightning and thunder, offensive variants of light and sound elements.
Ninjakon left the defence of Earth in the hands of the ninja academies and went to help other planets in danger.
Meanwhile while Ninjakon was spending centuries inside the Grid, evil forces were threatening the universe, led by a disillusioned ninjetti by the name of Navi Zeo of the planet Mercuria. He cut off a mere piece of the monolith, crafting it into the fabled zeo crystal, which siphoned energy from the Grid, becoming a more powerful talisman every passing moment.
He used the crystal to enhance his natural ability to turn into liquid mercury and become a shapeshifter as well as replicate himself into clones connected by a hive mind. Unable to reconcile him with the protector he once was, he was given a new name- the inversion of what he was once called… Ivan Oez, which he later himself fashioned into Ivan Ooze, liking the fear his new name inspired in the masses.
For centuries, he waged war on the universe, having nearly conquered every known planet in existence and defeated anyone who stood in his way.
Then, six brave warriors, part of the last resistance against Ooze, the Order of Meledon, the stole a ship and set course to Phaedos, seeking to uncover something that will give the fledging resistance some hope of standing against Ooze's massive powers and hordes of followers.
They were greeted by Ninjor, the former prince and master warrior of Phaedos. As a result of the final fight with his brother, the Monolith had been cracked, letting loose a wave of grid energy that weakened the barriers separating the physical plane from the spirit realm. Animal spirits and rogue entities wreaked havoc on the planet, slaughtering innocent lives. To prevent the chaos from spreading to the rest of the universe, Ninjor tied his soul to the monolith, repairing it and limiting the chaos to Phaedos. As a result, he was forever tied to the Ninjetti Temple, unable to leave the temple grounds.
The team of five comprising of Zordon and Zophram of Eltar, Dulcea of Rafkon, Lexian of Edenoi, Aslan of Titan, Sabrina of Mirinoi and Dimitria of Inquiris informed Ninjor of the terror Ooze had set ablaze and the ninja master helped them unleash their animal spirits.
Zordon was chosen by the platinum phoenix, Zophram by the Vermilion Wyvern, Dulcea by the Chartreuse Owl, Lexian by the Ebony Scarab, Dimitria by the Denim Dove, Aslan by the Rose Lion and Sabrina by the Beige Scorpion. Together with their ninjetti forms as well as Ninjor's power coins that transformed them into the power rangers, they fought against countless odds and defeated Ooze but at a grave cost…. Dulcea was wounded badly and the team brought her back to Phaedos, hoping Ninjor could heal her.
Unfortunately, her wounds were too severe for even him to heal. However, he came up with a way to save her even though it came at a great cost… He chose Dulcea to be his successor as the Master Warrior of Phaedos, trading places with her such that her soul was tied to the Monolith in place of his own, compelling the Grid to keep her alive and heal her mortal injuries.
While she had consented to the trade, after making Ninjor promise that he would fight alongside the Ninjetti Rangers in her stead, she was now forever bound to Phaedos.
Ninjor kept his promise to the best of his abilities but while Ooze had been sealed off in the middle of a desert in an infant world, his generals still roamed free and the fight for justice continued.
Lexian's home planet of Edenoi became targeted by notorious space pirates and he left the ninjetti to focus solely on defending Edenoi. Even with his ranger powers, he was no match for the deviousness of Momma D and Captain Mutiny. So, he created a robotic companion called Alpha One, who fought alongside him as well created a device called the Ecto Accelerator, that enhanced his ranger powers and made him into something else… the Masked Rider.
Sabrina and Zophram went missing following a battle against the dark spirit Maligore. After the ninjetti and their allies found their charred power coins, they were presumed to be dead while in reality, they were corrupted and brainwashed to be the ruthless assassin Scorpina and the merciless warlord Zedd.
Aslan perished fighting back against the Titan King Tash who had sworn allegiance to the notorious Dark Spectre.
Dimitria and Zordon both fell victims to time warp spells courtesy of Rita Repulsa.
Only Ninjor remained fighting against the endless forces of evil, once again the last ninjetti.
However, the Order of Meledon had inspired others to take up arms against evil and the Grid sprung into action, empowering those with the will to fight injustice and all across the known universe, numerous teams of power rangers rose up, creating a legacy unlike any other… a legacy that will soon be threatened like never before as a nefarious plot that was being carefully planned over a decade finally came to fruition and the return of Ivan Ooze loomed over the galaxy.
