Tales of the Morphin Masters: The Gift

Although their ascension was supposed to mark the end of their presence in
their former dimension, the Morphin Masters continued to return long after the event as they undertook a new mission to connect as many worlds to
a useable form of Grid Energy. When The Celestials had nurtured the seeds of
creation to shape the planets, they had placed a fragment of crystal deep inside
each world to continue feeding the seed after they departed. It was hoped that
the seeding process would lead to a permanent connection to the energy needed to
sustain life. That fragment drew upon
the spiritual energy leaking in from the Morphin Grid and helped encourage and
sustain life on the newly formed worlds. Later such crystals would often lead
the the appearance of magic and psychic energy on those worlds.
The Morphin Masters now chose to improve upon The Celestial’s work by boring
holes deep into each planet and shaping the crystal fragments to act as
conduits for Grid Energy. With the new link established, steps
were taken to place the fragments beyond the reach of those that might abuse
such power and the
shafts were filled in once more. On some worlds the Morphin Masters went further, creating the
necessary connections from the core of the planet to an object through which the
populace could access it. On Edenoi they created a great crystal the locals
called the Heart of Edenoi. On the planet Phaedos they built a monolith through
which the Power could be accessed along with a second temple that promised even
greater power for those deemed worthy.
The Morphin Masters repeated their actions on worlds across the cosmos, using
a form of Grid Energy they had developed to offer the protection of the Power to
as many as possible.
Up until that point the Morphin Masters had only been able to create single
links between those they deemed worthy and the Power. They had created teams of
Power Rangers, but the powers had been unique to each team. Now after they found
a way to communicate with the creatures that lived within the confines of the
Morphin Grid, they had come up with a superior option. The creatures were
composed of Grid Energy and like other beings found in the many higher
dimensions, were capable of bestowing that energy to those they deemed worthy.
The Morphin Masters had convinced the creatures to lend their power to all
those they deemed worthy and compatible. Through such an arrangement it was
possible for hundred of people to draw upon the Grid Energy at one time as
opposed to a single team. Those using such powers would not receive the strength
and power of the former teams the Morphin Masters had created because the amount
of energy a body could safely draw upon was limited without a proper conduit.
But even at half-power those that would gain access to the Power would have a
greater defence in the fight against evil.
The Morphin Masters had convinced thirty two creatures to join their
endeavour. In years to come through the loss and rediscovery of knowledge, there
would be many that believed this to be the Morphin Grid itself.
And in times to come it would be the powers locked inside the temple on
Phaedos that would herald the rise of the first new team of powered warriors.
And on Edenoi the Heart of Edenoi would lead to the emergence of one of the
universe’s most notable defenders. And on other worlds armies would emerge and
train in the use of the Power for combat. In years to come the Power would be considered a miracle to be worshipped as
a religion. The true nature of the Morphin Grid and the Morphin Masters would
remain lost until the time of rediscovery when the truth would be revealed and
the belief that had lasted for generations would be shaken to its core.
