MUTEKI ISLANDFive coloured streams of light lands on a beautiful island unbeknownst to the average human. The rangers all looked in awe at the aesthetics of the island.
"The island seems so untouched. The air is rich, the plants are healthy and the water is clear." Aisha said.
"Yeah, its hard to believe that most of the planet used to look like this many years ago." Rocky exclaimed still in shock of how beautiful the place is.
"So, where to now?" Kimberly asked.
"According to Zordon we should head north from our location until we come across a tiki statue," said Adam.
"Let's head in that direction then guys." Tommy said as he pointed north to everyone.
The five teens were walking for almost two hours when they came across the tiki statue. They looked on it wondering what they should do now. Zordon had kind of left out the details of what they should do after finding the tiki statue. The teens decided to rest since it was getting dark.
"Wake Up!" bellowed a voice at around 6:00pm in the morning.
The teens shot upright from their slumber and looked around for the person shouting at them.
"I am over here you idiots, haven't you ever seen a talking statue before," said the tiki statue.
The teens stood up shocked to find the voice coming from the statue.
"What are you doing here?" The statue shouted at them.
Tommy stepped forward trying to show every ounce of strength and courage he had to mask his fear.
"Just calm down we were sent here…" Tommy began to say when the place began to cloudy and a lightning bolt landed right by his feet. He instinctively jumped back after it hit.
"Don't tell me to calm down you are trespassing," the statue pointed out.
Aisha came forward and spoke. "We don't mean to cause any trouble we were just sent here by our mentor to acquire the Muteki powers so we could save Earth."
The statue looked at the young girl and sense genuine kindness from her unlike the little upstart who told him to calm down. The statue calmed down and the clouds began to recede and sunlight began to break through the dark clouds.
"I am sorry about before, but this is my island and I haven't seen anyone in over 10,000 years. So when someone comes out of the blue on the island and then tells me to calm down I get a little antsy." The statue explained.
"We understand, I would be watchful also if someone might be a threat to my home also." Aisha pointed out.
At this time Aisha stepped back and allowed Tommy talk to the statue.
"I am sorry for earlier, but it is imperative that we find the Muteki powers. Our leader Zordon told us it could be found here." Tommy exclaimed.
"Zordon is still alive I can't believe it. So what's he been up to?" The statue asked.
The ranger explained that he had appointed them as power rangers and how they lost the power of the Ninja Zords.
"Lord Zedd and Rita Repulsa are married. I can't believe it the union of two of the most vile creatures can only mean trouble. I will have to send you on your way as soon as possible then." The statue spoke.
"Great so are you going to give us this power?" Kimberly spoke.
"Actually I will first have to carry out the ritual, to align your body and mind with the Muteki God powers you will each acquire." The statue said.
"But, we already are linked to the animal spirits of the Demi-Gods, so we don't need to go through that again," Rocky said.
"That is true, but these power are far superior to those of the Demi-Gods. Plus some of you will have to be reassigned to new spirits anyways." The statue said diverting his eye between Rocky and Tommy.
"So how long until the ritual starts?" Adam asked.
"We will start around sunset, if that's okay with you all. By then you should have eaten and rested for the journey ahead." The statue said to them.
"Okay, we will go and search for some food, which shouldn't be a problem around here. We'll be back ah… I forgot to ask your name." Tommy pointed out.
"Oh yeah, it's Tiki." Tiki answered.
"How original, you're a tiki statue so you're named Tiki." Tommy joked.
Knowing that was meant as a joke Tiki teasingly said. "Did you forget what I did to you earlier? I intentionally missed you."
Tommy's face of laughter quickly changed to fear as he ran off in search of food. The others laughed as they followed their fearless leader in search of food. Time passed and the teens had eaten, showered and rested until sunset. They returned to where Tiki was located and they saw five pedestals, which held five weapons upon them.
"Punctuality has always been something I admired in people. Well enough joking it's time for the ceremony." Tiki said.
The rangers approached Tiki with eagerness.
"Each of you was chosen by Zordon because of your will to protect yourselves and for others you care for. The journey of new rangers will begin, today." Tiki established.
The pedestals began to glow black, white, blue, yellow and red. The lights flew into the air and gathered together and in a burst of energy they became dust particles that lingered onto the teens revealing their new spirit powers.
Tiki spoke to the teens who were now clad in black ninja clothing with their belts and headbands representing their colour associations. "ADAM – THE BLACK MUTEKI NINJA PROTECTED BY THE MUTEKI GOD GAMMER, KIMBERLY – THE WHITE MUTEKI NINJA PROTECTED BY THE MUTEKI GOD KARK, ROCKY – THE BLUE MUTEKI NINJA PROTECTED BY THE MUTEKI GOD LOGAN, AISHA – THE YELLOW MUTEKI NINJA PROTECTED BY THE MUTEKI GOD KUMARDO AND TOMMY – THE RED MUTEKI NINJA PROTECTED BY THE MUTEKI GOD SARUDER. THE LEADER OF THE MUTEKI GODS IS SARUDER AND THE CO-LEADER IS LOGAN."
The teens stared at each other with amusement when Tiki had finished.
"So, now that we have the power, can we leave?" Tommy asked.
"I never said these were the powers of the Muteki Gods. I just said this is the beginning of your journey." Tiki answered.
All shouted, "What!"
"Didn't I mention that you each have to venture on your own for the Doron Changer and the Muteki Ninja Swords." Tiki exclaimed.
"No, you failed to tell us that," Adam said with a pissed off tone.
"I'm really sorry, but anyways the Doron Changers are the morphers and the Muteki Ninja Swords are ancient weapons of the Muteki powers and are needed to control the Muteki God Zords." Tiki explained to the ninjas.
"Okay so what are those things for?" Aisha and Kimberly pointed towards.
"Oh those are also a set of ancient weapons for each ninja wanting to claim the Muteki powers. Please step to the pedestal representing your Muteki spirit." Tiki pointed.
The ninja teens stepped to their corresponding pedestals as a light engulfed hands. As the light dissipated an arm glove was revealed linking their individual weapons unto itself.
Tiki once again spoke. "ADAM YOU WIELD THE BLACK BOW (THREE ARROW CROSSBOW), KIMBERLY YOU WIELD THE WHITE BEAK (ARM BLADE, CAN BE DETACHED AND USED AS DAGGERS), ROCKY YOU WIELD THE BLUE SHOT (GUN WHICH SHOOTS POWERFUL BLASTS OF WATER), AISHA YOU WIELD THE YELLOW CLAW (CLAW WEAPON, WHICH CAN GRAB ONTO ENEMIES TO THROW THEM AROUND) AND TOMMY YOU WIELD THE RED SLICER (SHIELD TYPE WEAPON THAT CAN BE THROWN OR WORN AND USED AS AN ARM BLADE). YOU HAVE COMPLETED THE RITUAL SO NOW YOUR JOURNEY MUST BEGIN."
A passageway, which linked to five roads, was revealed behind the ninjas. The ninjas one by one entered the starting with Adam, Kim, Rocky, Aisha and Tommy. Before Tommy could enter Tiki called out to him.
"Your test will be the hardest of all you will be presented with a choice. If it is not chosen wisely it could be the end of you, your friends and the entire world." Tiki said.
Tommy looked on him with confusion and simple nodded his head as he entered the road and vanished like his friends.
LUNAR PALACE"What was that light?" Zedd asked himself still angry at Rito's incompetence allowing the rangers to escape.
"It can't be, those power brats are going after the Muteki powers. I have to stop them." Zedd said.
At that exact moment Rita walked in and saw her husband staring at the lights emanating from Earth.
"Zedd, is that what I think it is?" asked Rita.
"Yes it's the Muteki powers Rita, but don't worry the guardians of the powers are going to become much stronger after we give them an energy boost." Zedd pointed out to his wife.
They both aimed their wands at the island and instantly the guardians were transformed into creatures of mass destruction, ready and willing to kill anything in sight. Zedd and Rita laughed at the possible outcome of the rangers, but reality slipped in the rangers were going after the Muteki powers, so it would only seem logical that they know of the Ninja Zords being the Demi-God Zords.
"Zeddykins, the rangers are probably aware of the other Zords now so we might be in for some trouble. I think we should call my daddy Master Vile to help us." Rita said.
"No way Rita, you know I hate him." Zedd said with anger.
"But if we are going to defeat the rangers we have to call for back up. And I think we need to call the Mondo and Machina even though I hate how she feels that they are more superior to us, but they have a large disposable army that can easily be fixed and repaired for battle in no time." Rita argued.
"You have a point Rita, but just ensure that when they come let them know we are in charge." Zedd said as he left the throne room.
"Okay, I will get on it right away. Goldar quickly call the Machine Empire and my father and tell them we want to create an alliance."
"As you wish, Rita." Goldar said a bit annoyed by Rita's bossing around.
