Chapter One:
Escape from Eltar
"Through out time and space there are many different forms of life, this powerful force comes in the shape of creatures great and small. Some beings will develop into highly advanced civilizations capable of wonderful and miraculous things. With some of these advanced beings comes technology; some will use their technology for good and help their fellow man. Some may use all means necessary to not only help their fellow home world, but to travel through out the galaxy and help less fortunate interplanetary communities and colonies."
"But others choose a different path in life and choose to use their knowledge to only gain power and conquer all that they can. Overpowering the weak and less advanced, they enslave all of whom and what they desire. While pillaging civilizations and colonies, taking all for personal glory. In an ideal reality, this would not be the case, but unfortunately our reality is not ideal and these events have been accruing for millions of years through out the universe. You are about to witness the story of the timeless battle known as good against evil, raging from a galaxy far, far and away to your own, aimed directly at Earth. You'll see the threats from another galaxy travel millions of light years just to threaten your own happiness and tranquility. Witness the galaxy's last hope for peace and prosperity. Behold and witness as the saga continues with the Power Rangers Legacy." - Zordon
Millions of light years in a galaxy far away from our own home planet rest a highly advanced world on the planet of Eltar. This planet is known throughout the universe as the home world of the powerful wizard, Zordon, who fought a constant battle against evil protecting the innocent. Its atmosphere is very similar to Earth, lush green grass and the brightest blue sky, so blue it almost appears to have a purplish tint and with its four moons that can be seen at anytime of the day. The buildings are very angular, there are cubes, pyramids, and even sphere shaped homes. All the structures are the brightest of white and in pristine condition, unlike anything seen on Earth.
Professor Elledan and his beautiful young wife, Alana; who is expecting the couple's first child, are strolling down a white stone path which is trimmed with tall globe lanterns they walk through a lush and green courtyard that is nestled around a small pond with an ornate fountain in its center. This small sanctuary is in the middle of the large metropolitan area of the vast city of Zardonia. The young couple holds hands while they have a casual conversation about the future of their family as they walk home.
"How is your experiments going on that space craft for the aeronautics dept, dear?" asks Alana to her husband as the couple stops to relax on a stone bench.
"Actually pretty good, the admiral and general of the tactics division came down to see the control panel's interface and were quite pleased with its outcome. I think we've almost completed the first stages of creating Eltar's first tactical command ship to be the flagship of our new space armada." Eagerly replies the young scientist, gleaming with a big smile from ear to ear.
And she just smiles back at her proud husband, pats his hand and tries to stand up the best a pregnant woman can do on her own. Elledan helps his young bride up as they continue their stroll through the park on their way home at the end of a busy day and he asks her, "Have you come up with any ideas on a name? I was thinking of Elgar, what do you think?" as he chuckles.
Alana's eyes widen with surprise and then gives Elledan a smirk replying "Elgar, huh? I was thinking more like Elros, I think it sounds strong."
"Elros?" responds Elledan, "I like it and it does have a certain ring to it. Dr. Elros Ellesare."
The couple holds each other in an embrace for a moment and engages in a loving kiss when suddenly a bolt of lighting strikes one of the path's lanterns causing it to burst in an explosion of sparks. Alana shrieks in fear as Elledan jumps back startled at what has just happened, the young couple holds on to each other as the ground begins to shake as an earthquake begins, lanterns begin to fall and a few buildings start crumbling. The sky grows dark and grayish black clouds begin filling the sky hiding the four moons all Eltarean citizens commonly take for granted each day. As more and more clouds fill the sky more lighting bolts begin striking street lamps, buildings, trees, and even vehicles in the streets.
"Elledan, Elledan what's happening" cries out the frightened wife as she clutches to her husband's chest, "I'm scared." He holds onto his wife, protecting her the best he can with his arms wrapped around her,
"I know I am too. Look!" as he points toward the darkened sky.
We see an image of a sinister looking face form within the clouds. This is the face of Lord Doom. It's a cold, emotionless face, the face of a man who is known for conquering entire planets and civilizations, enslaving of all the inhabitants to be part of his own dark army just to lead them to pillage another planet in other galaxy and so on, until he rules the entire universe as one giant evil empire. The earthquake seems to have lightened up and all of he startled citizens begin to look at one other in fear and begin to look at the sky in wonderment as the giant image of Lord Doom begins it's proclamation of destruction, "Citizens of Eltar, look at the face of your new emperor, many of you know who I am which you definitely should, but for the fools who do not know, I am Lord Doom and I will crush your puny little civilization and do with it as I please. I plan to use your life energy to fuel my power in total domination of the universe and for the few of you that are worthy I will make you part of my army of destruction. Prepare for the beginning of the end of your lives as you know them! Ha Ha Ha!" as he chuckles the image of his face fades away in the clouds.
Lord Doom's fortress now lowers from behind the clouds. It appears to be a giant stone temple or monolith with an almost Egyptian appearance to it; the walls are encrusted with ancient hieroglyphics on its exterior and it appears to have the ground and the foundation still attached to its base, as if it was just ripped right out of the ground. Now with a better look at it, Elledan can now see that the lighting bolts are coming from the top of the fortress tower, from the tip of the pyramid-like peak. As lighting bolts begin to strike at the city again, mass hysteria begins throughout the city as its citizens run for shelter. Suddenly Demonites, grotesque skull faced warriors dressed entirely in black and their upper bodies covered in skeleton like armor; begin to fall from the sky.
These warriors of evil begin attacking citizens grabbing them and holding them down while another Demonite opens a cylinder-like container, transforming the innocent citizen's body into a tiny orb of golden light, which is the essence of the person's life energy, the orb then is sucked into the container and enclosed into this tiny cell. Thousands of Eltar's citizens are in the process of being contained in these tiny prisons, when Elledan and Alana make a run for the safety of their home.
"Alana, come on! We're just a few streets from home, we must hurry!" Elledan yells back as he clutches to his wife's hand as they run for cover.
"Where are we going? What are we going to do? What is going to happen to Eltar?" franticly questions Alana. "I don't know, I just don't know, but first let's worry about now and just get ourselves to shelter right away!" he replies back.
Suddenly a lighting bolt strikes the ground directly in front of the couple sending them both flying backwards to the ground. As Elledan comes to, coughing and wiping the dust and dirt from his face he doesn't see his wife anywhere, "Alana! Alana! Where are you?" he screams.
He starts looking everywhere, finally through all the commotion he finally sees Alana, she has fallen to the ground lying on her side clutching to her pregnant stomach she is desperately calling out "Help, Elledan! Please, help us!" She is unaware of the danger lurking near her as three Demonites have laid their eyes on her and are headed directly Alana's way. Elledan wants to run to her defense, but during the lighting strike he was thrown to the other side of a gaping crack in ground too large for him to get across.
"Alana! Hold on, I'm on my way, be careful they're headed straight for you!" he calls out to his frightened love, she quickly tries to get up, but it appears her ankle has been twisted and can't get to her feet in time. As Elledan frantically tries to figure a way over to her, two of the Demonites pick up her as Alana struggles to get away; they hold her down by her arms. The third Demonite walks up directly in to her with a containment cylinder and just before Alana turns into an orb of light she looks over to Elledan with a look of horror and weakly calls out "I love you, save yourself, and go!" And she then fades away into a tiny orb of light, but instead of being the same single golden light, her orb is actually a bright pink and purple tint, noticed by Elledan but unnoticed by the mindless Demonite warriors.
After seeing his pregnant wife being imprisoned into the small cylinder prison, Elledan is stunned in total devastation with the image of this event playing over and over in his mind. Next lighting bolts strike a lamp post near Elledan causing another explosion knocking him to the street, he then quickly gets up and runs into the mass hysteria of the city streets and fights his way through the crowds. One Demonite grabs his arm, but Elledan valiantly fights back and with a sharp kick in the creature's chest, he is able to get free and finally make it to his laboratory, which has already been ransacked and looted in this alien invasion.
Once inside he finds the android he created, named Astral One, an invention Elledan is extremely proud of. Astral One is the most highly advanced robot unlike anything seen before, he use to brag to his colleagues on what an improvement she was compared to the previous Alpha series of androids. But it appears that Astral One has been deactivated, so Elledan makes the required adjustments to "jump start" her back up and bring her back online. The perplexed android exclaims, "Professor, the lab has been ransacked by skeleton faced warriors, I tried to defend what I could but they deactivated me. I afraid they were after the experimental craft, the XR-10." The robotic lady looks over to see the spacecraft in working order still.
"Sir? What is happening and where is Alana?"
Elledan just sighs and holds back the tears in his eyes and responds "It's a long story Astral and I'll tell you later, we got to get to safety away from here. Eltar is about to be destroyed."
And on that note, the young scientist grabs a few things in his laboratory including a case of rare Eltarean aura crystals, which are known for being a powerful source of energy and with the help of Astral One the two make their way into the XR-10, the experimental space craft Astral One mentioned, it's one of the ships that the professor has been working on for the aeronautics and space department.
Together Elledan and Astral One plan to pilot this small ship but just as they start the engines another group of Demonites attack the ransacked laboratory once again, this time they decide they want the ship. The Demonites begin jumping in from the shattered sky lights and windows. As the ship's engines fire up, some of the Demonites catch on fire and one of the evil warriors attaches himself to the hull of the ship, just to fall to his doom as the ship rises in altitude heading from the city's skyline to space.
Just as soon as the small craft makes it into space it is already detected by Lord Doom's armada of destroyer ships. They begin to open fire on the small space craft, a few of the lasers damage the ship slowing it down, but not stopping it.
"Professor, should I activate the hyper drive?" asks the android assistant,
"Yes, please do so," instructs Elledan and the small craft blasts off into the vast unknown realm of space. While this is happening eight of Lord Doom's gigantic intergalactic space destroyers accompanied by Lord Doom's fortress begin to open fire on the small bluish green planet. The planet explodes apart, huge fragments of meteors blast through out space. The meteorites do no damage to the enormous destroyers but smash against the XR-10; the small craft is thrown completely out of control, with meteors banging the ship in all directions from rock to rock to rock. During all of the commotion the professor is knocked unconscious and the small android does her best to pilot the ship into safety, "Hold on professor, I'll get us out of here" she says quietly to herself.
