When we were younger we had good days and bad days. But compared to now a days those days were all actually pretty good days. However, we aren't talking about that right now, the days we are talking about are then. Life was a great deal easier then, before the "white light event" occurred, so any way back to the story. We were just kids completely unaware of the nightmare brewing around us. I will forever remember that first day with vivid clarity nothing will ever been smeared in my memory. It started with the Moon.
High above the earth where the moon hung in space, quite as a tomb, that's where it started. Nothing lives there, nothing grows there, it is a dead place. The atmosphere too thin to support life or protect the surface from the sun, billions of meteorites have struck upon its surface leaving craters that sink deep within its body. The hue of the world is dull save for the view of the beautiful sphere of blue and white that if you looked hard enough at you could see green and brown on as well. The beautiful gem or marble as some would say was the cradle of life in this solar system and the only know planet to support any type of life. However it and the moon were of the four bodies studied at the time Mars was still some years away. The moon had been viewed on earth as a beautiful image because from far away it was not nearly as dead as it was up close. Up close it looked like a grave yard from far away it looks like a beautiful pale disc hanging along with the stars. Upon this rock two unsuspecting astronauts were exploring and as fate would have it they had found a gold container with a single red gem sunk deep within the surface of the moon.
"That was a bit much on the description Chris." Came the voice of Rocky DeSantos.
"I'm telling the story so I'll be as descriptive as I want."
"Just saying you going to take forever if you keep that up." Rocky defended
"So it's not like we've got anything better to do who cares? Do you" the young red ranger just shook his head not really wanting to say anything, "Good on with the story"
"Hey look at that." one astronaut said.
"Lets go" other suggested.
"What do you think it is?" the first one said walking up to inspect it.
"It looks like a giant dumpster" the other said, "A giant space dumpster."
"Let open it up" the first one said as he reached to move the lid. Lightening and energy sprayed from the container and threw the astronauts backwards. They had sealed the fate of their world upon opening the container for they had released Rita Repulsa: the empress of evil a plague that would consume the world they called home.
"Aah" came a voice from the container the first to step out was a creature that looked like a winged giant monkey that stood on two feet wearing gold armor. The creature stood six feet tall he towered over the remaining occupants. He looked menacing with his red glowing and his deep growling voice.
"All right we're out" said a short creature looking like a blue warthog who was not one of the brighter of the bunch he moved excitedly around enjoying being out of the cramped container.
"Woo, we're free Squatt" said a third creature a monkey having monocle sitting in his eye. This third creature was not unlike the first however much shorter in stature and didn't have wings really but two bony extensions from his back. He shared a high five the second creature this only got a grunt from the first.
"Don't be such a stick in the mud Goldar" chimed the third creature.
"I'll turn you into a stick in the mud Baboo if you keep opening your mouth." Goldar growled.
"Hey Rita! wake up! wake up! we're free" Squat chirped at the container.
"Aah" Rita said extending her arms as she stepped out of the container for the first time in eons.
"Uh-oh morning breath let me get you a mint" Squatt said as he begun to dig deep into his pack that sat on his hip searching for a mint.
"Oh its feels good to be free after ten thousand years" said a creature with a dog-like face.
"You can say that again Finster" Squatt chirped at the dog-face creature.
"Here your evilness let me help you." Baboo said taking Rita's arm, "Walk with me, talk with me"
"Ooo you made me step in a puddle you nitwit" Rita said. Rita Repulsa: The Empress of Evil had an obsession with anything pointy her crown had two tall points her finger nails were long and pointed. Put simply she was a waking danger zone "Out of my way monkey face."
Then Rita turned and destroyed the dumpster that held her prison for ten thousand years. The small group let a venoms laugh as it exploded. Freedom had come after a long term and they were itching for destruction and mayhem.
"Let's get out of here" the second astronaut said. The two astronauts began to run away from Rita and her goons.
"Don't leave you'll miss my COMING OUT PARTY that is where I destroy the nearest planet" Rita laughed as she looks towards earth then sent a wave of energy towards the two astronauts. The sad part was they would never see home again they would never see the wonders they had brought their world. Things both good and bad would come of their actions but they would never see it.
"How do you know that happened?" asked Maya.
"I just know these things"
"You are just making it up." Eric Myers.
"I'm not Myers and we are not going into how I know this at the moment. So hush up Eric, the rookie here asked for a story so he gets the story. So now where was I? Ah yes Saturday"
