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...

There are other villains in the world besides Rita Repulsa. There are also other heroes, fighters against the forces of darkness who have operated long before the Power Rangers. And now, they meet.

"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 complete domination.

"The modern battle between good and evil"

Evil is a powerful force because it offers power to those that would do the things that a good person would never consider. Is the easy path that twists and corrupts those that follow it to 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.

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.

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.
