Evil is a living entity desiring nothing less than the domination of all existence. It existed before creation, lurking in background and waiting for the moment when it could gain purchase in a rapidly expanding universe. Eternal, indestructible, even the loss of its agents could not remove its stain from reality. Not even the Creator himself can expel Evil entirely.
From the distant past to the far future, the battle between Good and Evil continues. For the villains a single goal: the conquest of the planet Earth and with it, the key to ultimate power. For those seeking to stop them a vital task: protect the world.
For although Evil cannot be destroyed, it can be vanquished, contained and fought. And so long as there are those to fight it, it can never claim victory. And as the lines between Good and Evil blur, the question should be: is Evil the natural state of things and Good the abomination?
In the early days of the universe, the war between Good and Evil began. It continued long after the multiverse had formed and the Morphin Master had uncovered the darkness on the far side of the Morphin Grid. As new servants of evil arose, so those that would oppose them emerged. Ancient enemies, powerful alliances; factions determined that they would win.
In modern times, Evil grows stronger because it offers power to those that would do the things that a good person would never consider. It is the easy path that twists and corrupts those that follow it, fooling those that believe they are righteous. Once evil gains a foothold it is quick to grow, consume and dominate. And once it has had its way, the wounds it inflicts can never completely heal.
But, while evil is impossible to destroy the darkness can be chased away by the love and sacrifice of those that remain vigilant and willing to stand against it.
And when the latest phase of the war, the battle between Zordon of Eltar and Rita Repulsa, ended, it promised a brief respite as the forces of darkness raced to fill the void left by one of their most skilled commanders. And while Zordon's forces could claim the victory, they did so with the knowledge that their noble leader would no longer be amongst them in battle. The cosmos entered a period of unease as both sides worked to recover from their losses. Who could step up and take the place of Rita Repulsa; would such a being be allowed the opportunity to prove his worth? Without Zordon, who would take up the challenge of leading the forces of light?
The Earth is a planet that was once considered of little value in the grand scheme of things. But the fallout from the war left many wondering why Rita was so determined to conquer the planet, and why Zordon considered it so important that he established a permanent presence there. Suddenly considered a prize for every villain wanting to prove their worth, and a liability by those seeking to prevent the dark forces from gaining a vital foothold in a cosmic power play that stretches back billions of years, the stakes have never been higher. As the opposing sides gather their forces, the Earth and its population risk becoming an unfortunate loss.
"The conquest of evil in days gone by."
History, as we know it, states existence is built upon a foundation of scientific fact and mathematics. This long-held fact is a lie. The struggle between Good and Evil defines existence by its very nature. It is around such a struggle that the Universe was created and races old and new have arisen. For Evil must be confronted and contained. It must be conquered. In the beginning, there was only the void. And then something filled the void and it became existence. This is also a lie! Before what is regarded as the beginning, there was an ending. The raw energy of a new existence and the renewal of an old struggle came from the ending. For Evil can be contained and Evil can be conquered, but even when defeated... it still remains. And so long as there is Evil seeking to gain a foothold in existence, there must be those willing to confront it and defeat it.
And so a new battleground was formed in the shape of a universe. How did it happen? Where did the war between good and evil start again? How did an existence at the point of oblivion pass into creating a new reality, a reborn creator and the start of a new war? What role did the Power play and what of those that tried to tame it? The Void was darkness, lifeless order; the Morphin Grid a never-ending, constantly changing ocean of chaos; and where the two intercepted... came the Multiverse.
Myth and Legend is a companion story to The Conquest of Evil, revealing the origins of the conflict and the early days of the struggle. It is still a work in progress and intended to expand the rest of the story... and perhaps reveal one or two small mysteries of its own. Starting of course with the question: How did the knowledge of the nature of the Morphin Grid change so much?
Born to the Queen of Magitopia amidst great celebration, the destiny of Rita Repulsa would be determined by a bitter battle for custody between the noble ruler and her former husband: now known as Master Vile. Raised in the ways of evil by her father and his new wife, Rita would leave the tedium of the M-51 Galaxy and seek to conquer her own domain.
In a campaign that led to the conquest and destruction of countless worlds, Rita was drawn to the service of Lord Zedd and thrown into conflict with her greatest enemy: Zordon. After centuries of war, her forces were defeated and Rita was imprisoned. Many felt that would be the end of her tale. They were wrong!
Ten thousand years later, while exploring a rogue planetoid, a team of astronauts accidentally stumble upon her prison and release her in a moment of greed... release her. Free once more, Rita decides to deliver a special thank you to the planet that unleashed her upon the cosmos once more... Rita vows to conquer it and settle a few old scores in the process.
And to combat such a threat, the now disembodied Zordon assembled a team of superheroes to protect their world...
After Lord Zedd grew tired of her excuses and declared an end to their agreement, Rita Repulsa chose to flee rather than face the wrath of her master. Armed with a fragment of chaos crystal to use as a multiversal focus, she set her sights on an alternate Earth where there were no Power Rangers and no Lord Zedd to interfere with her nefarious plans! What she finds instead are a race of alien conquerors known as the Xiliens, who are attempting to conquer an Earth that is just as protected as the one she left behind.
When her actions lead to monsters from this reality heading back to her dimension, Rita inevitably draws the attention of those she was seeking to avoid and gives her temporary allies a new target. Can the heroes of two worlds stop this combined threat? Can they at least stop fighting long enough to try? Welcome to the wonders of Reality 52458.
"I am Lord Zedd, Emperor of all I see. You have failed to complete the mission assigned to you. I will now resume command. Prepare the palace for my return."
And with that proclamation, Rita Repulsa disappeared from view as her lord and master Lord Zedd decided to conquest the planet personally. It only takes a short time for the Rangers to wish that they were still facing Rita Repulsa. Can the Rangers hope to stand up to a foe that not only possesses more powerful monsters than Rita Repulsa, but can fight and defeat the Rangers in solo combat? Not to mention he appears to have a personal grudge against a certain Green Ranger.
Rita Repulsa was bad; Lord Zedd was even worse. The two of them together should be an unbeatable combination... if they can get stop bickering long enough to work together.
The Machine Empire is an alliance of several smaller mechanical kingdoms. For a long time the Machine Empire was sidelined from the war between good and evil by brutal infighting as the various monarchs jockeyed for position. Now having reached an accord to resolve the matter at a later time, King Mondo and the Royal House of Gadgetry are free to pursue their planned conquest of key parts of the galaxy.
Where the mind games of Rita Repulsa and the fierce brutality of Lord Zedd have failed, perhaps the cold calculation of King Mondo can succeed. Even if Mondo fails, there is always Prince Gasket and his own ambitious attempts to build an empire that will surpass that of his father. And never forget King Aradon and the other leaders of the Royal Houses that make up the monstrosity that is the Machine Empire as they too seek the pieces they need for domination.
