Prologue

I thought the Powers were concealed, kept on Eltare and under safekeeping. However, I was wrong. The powers were taken, stolen from the world where they rightfully belonged.

The great wizard Zordon of Eltare stood in the viewing bay of the large carrier, Titanus. He bore a large staff that had a great gem on the tip, which seemed to emit a greenish glow. His hair was pure white, but not from old age (although he was an elder to many), but perhaps from the race of being he was.

I followed the power source to the planet Lerion, where I met Lerigot, a great wizard in his own respect. There, I was endowed with the power to actually tap into the Power Grid myself, becoming a ranger known as the Red Tyranno Ranger. I left Lerion, looking to find the creator of the Power Coin I had obtained, Ninjor. He was the one who found the power that had somehow escaped from Eltare.

I found him in a secluded place, on the uninhabited planet known as Earth. When I arrived, I was surprised to see that the planet was ruled by beings Ninjor called Dinosaurs, whom inspired his creation of the Power Coins. He told me that the Powers came to him while he meditated one eve, and when he acquired their knowledge, he was able to create the Power Coins. He entrusted one, the Tyrannosaurus Power Coin that I had obtained, to Lerigot, his trusted friend.

Ninjor and I became close, and he traveled with me back to Eltare, bringing with him the remaining five coins. We stayed there, studying the Powers and learning as much about them as we could. That is, until my home planet and my residence at the time was attacked by the greatest foe known to this galaxy, Lord Hexxacus Zedd, commonly called Lord Zedd by his inferiors.

Using the Power Coin I had received from Lerigot, I fought along side Ninjor and many brave souls of Eltare, to defend the Universe from Zedd's iron fist. We fought for ten years past a century, neither side gaining or losing any territory.

Now here we are, on Gali, in the Titanus carrier, pursuing Zedd's forces still. I wonder, when will the fighting cease?

Episode One "Repulsive Arrival"

The large carrier, Titanus, sat stationary in the jungle of Gali, a planet that was nothing but jungle. It was modeled after what Ninjor called a Brachiosaurus, a Dinosaur he had encountered on his stay on the fairly young planet Earth.

Inside Titanus, agents of the A.F.E. (Attack Force Eltare) lounged about, watching screens, making sure none of Lord Zedd's forces were approaching. It had not been long since the last attack - a week ago this day, and it had not been successful. Zedd had deployed his army of men, who were mutated beings called Bolirox, on Titanus. The A.F.E. agents were able to keep them out, for a while, but were weakening slowly.

That's where the Rangers came in. Six agents whose abilities surpassed any other, and whose courage was greater than any of the beings they had encountered. Rue, the Tyranno Ranger, received his Power Coin from Zordon, the great wizard from Eltare. Rue himself was from Eltare, which was evident, in that his hair was pure white, just as Zordon's was.

The other five rangers were from different planets from the local galaxy, as well as outside galaxies. Amone, the Mammoth Ranger, Rina, the Ptera Ranger, Xander, the Tricera Ranger, Lucretia, the Sabertooth Ranger, and Lex, the Dragon Ranger. When the six warriors approached, the Bolirox quickly retreated, but not without leaving Titanus dysfunctional.

Rue stood on the edge of the cliff, which was level with Titanus' mechanical head. He looked at Gali's horizon, a beautiful blaze of green light. It was an effect of the sun's light reflecting off of one of Gali's two moons. To Rue, it was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen.

"It is quite a sight, isn't it?"

Rue turned around to see Zordon, a fellow Eltarien, standing behind him. He replied, "Yes, one of the most beautiful things I've seen since our leave of Eltare, if not the most beautiful." Rue returned to watching the horizon as Zordon smiled.

"What's on your mind, Rue?" Zordon asked, stepping to stand beside the white-haired boy.

"Nothing, sir," returned Rue.

"Now, Rue, you know you can't lie to an Eltarien and get away with it."

Rue let out a deep sigh. "I was only a child when the war reached it's hundredth year anniversary, and still yet, I had been taxed many losses. My parents' parents were killed, along with their brothers and sisters. So it was just them and myself, along with my sister, Mina. We struggled to keep safe every time the A.F.E. and Zedd's forces fought. One night, the night I had fled to the A.F.E.'s base on Eltare, my family fled to the Crystal Gates. But when we got there…" Rue paused for a moment, looking down and fiddling with his fingers behind his back. "When we got there," he continued, "we were cornered by the Bolirox. My mother and father fought fiercely, but they were no match for the advanced mutants. My sister and I yelled, screamed, shouted, did everything in our power to try and get some A.F.E. agent's attention."

"But it was no use. We tried desperately, but me being only nine years old, and my sister only seven, our voices were not to their full volume, and no soul heard us. I covered Mina's eyes as the blades ripped through my parent's bodies, and they were disposed to the side of the rode like yesterday's news report. I took what courage I had and stepped forward, to protect my sister and revenge my parents." He paused again, this time, a tear running down his cheek. "As my parents were thrown aside, so was I, but I lived. They went after my sister. The dear girl ran for her life, but it was no use. Her life was taken and she joined my parents."

"They wanted more. They wanted to take my life, too, but I wouldn't let them have it. I ran. Faster than any time before, and any time since then. I ran to the A.F.E.'s base, where I was taken up by you and Ninjor. I met the other Rangers, and you raised us to become who we are today."

Zordon and Rue stood silent on the cliff for several minutes, each contemplating on what Rue had just explained. Until Zordon had spoke up, it had been quieter than ever in the jungle. "The massacre you had to experience was unfair and unneeded for you, Rue." Zordon rested his hand on Rue's shoulder. "But that is what made you what are you today. You say that it was Ninjor and I who raised you to become the Tyranno Ranger, but you are ignorant to the real reason. Because you suffered from Lord Hexxacus Zedd's wrath, you gained fuel to fight for the side of good. You had reason to."

"But my family suffered to get me where I am today, to make who I am! Why did they have to suffer so I could become successful?!" Rue turned around violently, looking Zordon in the eyes. When the wise wizard could not come up with a response, Rue stormed off, returning to the interior of Titanus.

When he was clearly inside, Ninjor appeared beside Zordon and said, "He's still clinging to the past. He's more out for revenge than for the fight for the universe."

"You know as well as I do, old friend, that revenge is the greatest help in the fight for good."

"Yes, I do, but if he can't see the fight for the universe, he may become an enemy to us rather than being a friend."

The steel doors opened with a swoosh, and Rue entered the chamber, disregarding his teammates about the room and heading straight to his bunk. Amone and Lex were playing cards at a small table in the center of the room. Amone had started to say something when Rue came in, but caught himself when he saw how upset he was.

"Are you okay?" asked Rina, being the kind girl she had always been. Her beautiful brown hair was flared at the tips, accentuating her face. When Rue didn't respond, she walked to his bunk and crouched beside him. "Want to talk about it?"

"If I wanted to talk about it, I would of already," he responded, in a harsh tone.

Taking no offense, she stood, nodded a sign of understanding, and walked back to her bunk where she was reading a book.

The same swoosh that announced Rue's arrival earlier announced Xander and Lucretia's arrival, and it was apparent that they were in a hurry. "Hurry," said Xander, "Titanus is under attack again, they need the Rangers."

"Why weren't the sirens activated?" asked Amone.

"The Bolirox attack did more than deactivate the movement system," explained Lucretia. "It also fried the system resources."

"Alright," said Lex, standing. "Let's take care of them."

The rangers started to exit the room, Rue excluded.

"You coming, Rue?" asked Amone.

"Yeah," returned Rue, slowly and lazily. He picked himself up and went out to join the fight.

The seven Rangers stood and watched as the Bolirox army charged the Carrier, with their hands behind their backs.

"It's morphin' time!" yelled Rue.

Each of the Rangers brought their arms out in front of them, and their fists were glowing with differently colored orbs- Rue, red, Lucretia, yellow, Amone, black, Rina, pink, Xander, blue, and Lex, green. When the orbs disappeared, a silver hexagonal object rested in their hands. In the center laid the Power Coins.

"Dragon!" yelled Lex.

"Mastodon!" yelled Amone.

"Pterodactyl!" yelled Rina.

"Triceratops!" yelled Xander.

"Saber-toothed Tiger!" yelled Lucretia.

"Tyrannosaurus!" yelled Rue.

They all stood in line, now in differently colored spandex suits. Large, white diamonds lined each of their chests and backs. Their helmets were the same color as their suits, but were differently designed.

"Power Rangers!" they yelled in unison.

"Blade Blasters, up!" yelled Rue. Each of them held up blasters, and fired lasers shots that were their respected colors. Each hit about five or so until they stopped fire and ran about, taking cover from the return fire that they were receiving.

"Their number isn't as many as one week ago," observed Xander. "It seems as though an odd amount to send."

"It's not enough to overtake something, that's for sure," said Amone, dodging a punch and then returning it. He then charged at a group of Bolirox that had ganged up on an A.F.E. member. He grabbed an arm of one, twisted it, then threw it across the distance. He then tapped one on the shoulder, and when it turned around, he kneed it in the stomach. The other two mutants took him by his hands, and tried to flip him over their shoulders, but instead, he flipped them over his shoulder.

Rue roundhouse kicked one Bolirox into another, then spun around and kicked another one in the gut. He raised his Blade Blaster up, and fired two shots into one, knocking it backwards. He then charged towards in, leaped in the air, and kicked it across the face, knocking it out. "Blade Blaster to Blade Mode," Rue commanded. He shifted his blaster into its Blade Mode, which made it a small sword. He cut across a line of Bolirox, sending sparks flying, as a result of colliding with the armor they wore.

"Rue," said Lex, through his communicator. "The Bolirox - they're retreating!"

"What?" responded Rue, in awe. Bolirox never retreated. He turned around to see the whole army (those who could walk, of course) of Bolirox retreating. His fellow teammates and the A.F.E. agents were watching, too, in amazement.

"I don't believe it," said Rina. Just as she had announced her disbelief, a very loud, menacing laugh rang throughout the forest on Gali. Suddenly, in a swarm of red energy, a figure appeared in the distance; a woman with dark skin and long, silver hair. She was dressed in a long, brown dress with rags everywhere.

Behind her, again in red energy, appeared several gray-skinned beings, making a weird gurgling sound. They moved about, obviously following the woman's command.

"Who is that?" asked Lucretia. The Ranger team motioned for the A.F.E. agents to take cover in Titanus, in fear that this opponent may be too strong for them, as they were mere humans.

"She doesn't look as if she's here to help us," added Lex.

"Those stupid gray thing are getting on my nerves," complained Amone, holding his head.

"Come on Rangers," said Rue, "if she wants to fight, we'll fight."

"Right," the rest of the Ranger team said in unison.

The woman let out another shrieking laugh, and stopped as she was close to the team now. And as she did, the beings behind her did.

"Hello," she said, her voice terribly high pitched. "I am so honored to meet the famous Power Rangers - the Agents of the Grid." She curtsied, obviously being sarcastic.

"Who are you?" demanded Rina.

"The name is Rita Repulsa," she said, "the witch daughter of Master and Mistress Vile."

Rue gasped. He recognized the two names, Master Vile and Mistress Vile. They were the two most evil beings in the universe, beside Lord Zedd. "What business do you have with us? Your mother was killed; your father, trapped in another dimension. Revenge, perhaps?" Rue said this with a harsh tone, trying to strike a soft spot, that is, if evil beings had a soft spot.

Rita cackled. "Revenge? No way, no how." She flipped her hair behind her. "When Zordon and your precious A.F.E agents pestered my parents, you simply paved the way for me to be the most powerful evil being in the Universe."

"Although you're not," said Lex, as soon as she finished her sentence.

Rita continued: "And one step in my ultimate destiny," she said proudly, "is to be apprenticed to the admirable Lord Hexxacus Zedd. And how shall I prove myself?" She fluttered her eyes as if she had something in them, then opened them wide and stared at the Rangers. "By destroying the A.F.E. and the Power Rangers! Not to mention Zordon of Eltare and Ninjor of Zordnia."

Xander crossed his arms in annoyance; he had heard it all before, from Zedd and many others. "Blah, blah, blah," he said, using his hand as a mouth. "What is it with you evil beings? You're always wanting to kill us, to show yourselves to the other evil beings. How about trying to kill each other? That'll show 'em!"

"Stupid, petty children," Rita scolded. "I'd like you to meet friends of mine; the Putty Patrollers!" On call, the gray "Putty Patrollers", as the witch called them, charged for the Rangers.

"Alright guys," commanded Rue. "Let's do it! Power Weapons!"

"Power Sword!" yelled Rue.

"Power Daggers!" yelled Lucretia.

"Power Lance!" yelled Xander.

"Power Bow!" yelled Rina.

"Power Axe!" yelled Amone.

"Dragon Power Dagger!" yelled Lex.

The Rangers met with the Putties, who, unexpectedly, were good hand-to-hand combat fighters. Rina ducked to avoid being kicked in the head, then tripped that Putty with her bow, came back up, and shot an pink-energized arrow at another Putty. Thinking that those two were finished, she moved on to another group, until she noticed them getting back up.

"These things never quit," she remarked, sending a barrage of energized arrows at both of them. Even though every arrow hit, the two came back, although very much tired. She charged at them, her entire bow glowing with energy. She slashed the two, and the force was so great, that it went right through them; they were finished.

Xander and Amone grabbed each others' hands, and kicked a Putty on either side of them. Then, using their weapons, both shot lasers of their respective colors at their opponents.

"It hardly did any damage to them!" exclaimed Xander.

"Whatever these guys are made of, they're much more powerful than the Bolirox," said Amone, delivering a roundhouse kick to his Putty. He held his axe in the air, then brought it done across the Putty's chest twice. The attack only made it stumble backwards, and then it attacked again, punching Amone in the gut. Amone, once again, brought his axe up, its blade this time, glowing black. He came down, and it went through the being vertically, slashing through its body.

Amone observed the dead being lying in front of him, and something struck him as odd. He said, into his communicator: "Rangers, these Putties - they're made of clay!"

"What?" returned a voice, who he recognized as Rue's.

"They're made of super clay; or putty. Thus, the name Putty Patrollers," Amone explained. "That's why they are so tough."

"Finally," exclaimed Rita, delivering a blow to Lucretia with her staff, and sending her rolling on the ground. "You Rangers aren't as smart as I was told."

Lucretia jumped to her feet, charging at Rita. Rita smiled, grabbed a hold of her wrists, and flipped her upside down, landing on her back. She then rose her staff in the air, mumbled some words, and again in a red light, more Putties appeared.

"Oh no," said Lex, realizing they were totally outnumbered and overpowered.

"Rangers," Zordon's voice came telepathically to each of the members. "You must teleport to Dande, at once."

"What, why?" returned Rue telepathically, as he was the only one who could.

"Rita's Putties are too strong and too many to take on; the whole force is leaving Gala. We have to leave Titanus here, in hope that it may survive whatever Rita Repulsa and Hexxacus have in plan for it. The Powers on Dande are going to transport the A.F.E. agents there, which we owe them a great debt because of. You are to transport there immediately. That is a command."

"Yes, Zordon," Rue said, ending the connection.

The scattered Rangers pressed a button on their morphers, which stayed on their belts, and they teleported away in streaks of colored lights.

"Retreating so soon?" called Rita from below, as the Rangers fled. "That's not very hero-like!" She once again filled Gala, the Jungle Planet, with her cackle.
