Episode 563: Tales of Gabriel: The Final Battle of the Great War: Part III

October 2044

On the Skyship, Gabriel arrives to tell the Megaforce a story.

"After getting her hands on the Dragonzord Power Coin, Zordon contacted Rita Repulsa for a duel. She agreed, if He brought the other Power Coins. The winner would get all six. Zordon was allowed to bring the Ancient Rangers with him and Rita was allowed to bring Goldar, Finster, Squatt, and Baboo, but the main battle would be between Zordon and Rita…"

On the dark side of Earth's moon, Zordon and the Ancient Rangers teleport in.

"I don't see why you agreed to this" Jonas said to Zordon "why risk the other Power Coins, surely you could take the Dragonzord Power Coin back by force"

"I could" said Zordon "but that would not be for the best" and Rita and her gang teleported in.

"You got your Power Coins?" Rita asked and Zordon took out a box and walked by the Ancient Rangers, with them each placing their Power Coin in the box. Zordon shows it to Rita and then shuts the box and hands it to Michael

"You have yours?" Zordon asked and Rita showed Him the Dragonzord Power Coin and hands it to Goldar.

"I'm ready when you are" said Rita as she ready's her wand

"IT'S MORPHIN TIME!" said Zordon "I AM!" and they fight one another, Zordon using Morning Star and Rita using her wand. The Ancient Rangers marvel at the mastery of each side of the duel. Rita manages to blast Zordon into a crater. He lands hard and demorphs.

"It's over Zordon!" said Rita and she blasts Zordon and he vanishes, leaving only his Power Morpher and Power Coin

"What did you do?" Michael asked

"I've sealed Zordon into a time warp" said Rita "and it looks like on top of your Power Coins, I'm going to get a bonus" and she and her forces make their way towards Zordon's Morpher. As she's about to grab it, all of a sudden a space dumpster appears and sucks her and her forces inside before being sealed.

"What happened?" Seth asked

"I sealed Rita and her minions inside" said Zordon as He appears

"What?" Michael asked "but I thought…"

"So did Rita" said Zordon "I created time, Rita was a fool to think she could seal me inside of it"

"But you could have just destroyed her" Seth asked

"I could have" said Zordon "but as I said earlier, that's not for the best. One day, you'll understand. Now the Great War has ended, while the remaining forces of evil will regroup, it will take them thousands of years to do so to the point they will be a threat as they are now. Your roles as warriors are done for now, you will be guardians and observers for now. Michael, take this map and hide your Morphers and Quasar Sabers there, you will not need them for a long time. Now, I must work with My Father to build a Command Center on Earth, it will be needed one day…"

"…and so that is how Rita was imprisoned and how the Great War ended" said Gabriel "Michael and the Ancient Rangers followed the map, which lead them to Mirinoi, and they hid their Morphers and placed their Quasar Sabers in the stone until the time came when they would be needed again"

"So Zordon said everything that happened happened for a reason" said Noah "if he would have just destroyed Rita and taken back the Dragonzord Power Coin, who knows what path would have been taken. When the time came to recruit the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers he would have recruited six teenagers with attitude instead of five. This would most likely mean that Tommy never became a Power Ranger, would've never created Project Hexagon, which would've never created any of the Angel Rangers, or the Dino Rangers, or even our Powers?"

"Could you imagine trying to survive the Tribulation without the Angel Rangers help or Megaforce Powers, especially the ability to transform into past Rangers?" Gia asked

"While your Powers were certainly a good thing to come of it" said Gabriel "don't forget, if Zordon had simply destroyed Rita, her soul would be lost and she would be damned for all eternity. By allowing her to live until His wave, He gave her a second chance, which she took and helped create the Miracle Force Rangers"

"And that's why Zordon gave Jonas, the Green Ranger, the Mastodon Power Coin rather than the Dragonzord Power Coin" said Noah "if Zordon had matched the colors properly, Rita would've ended up with the Mastodon Power Coin. When she escaped, the Rangers would have gotten the more powerful Green Ranger from the beginning, but wouldn't have been able to form a Megazord, as the Mastodon is required for both the Megazord and the Dragonzord: Fighting Mode"

"So that's the last story of the Great War?" Emma asked

"Yes" said Gabriel "but not the last story I have to tell you. Next time, I'll tell you about a man named Daniel…"
