Centuries ago, a legendary interdimensional being known as ZORDON came to the city of Angel Grove to establish a command centre for his never ending struggle against evil.
With the aid of his trusted assistant, Alpha 5, the noble master trained five extraordinary children and gave them the power to transform into a superhuman fighting force. In time of great need, the young heroes could use their powers to call upon colossal assault vehicles known only as ZORDS.
These great machines allowed them to battle the space sorceress, Rita Replusa, and her army of monsters. But when defeat seemed likely for Rita, she was forced to create her own warrior.
But when this warrior saw the darkness that this sorceress would bring to this world, he abandoned her teachings and joined ZORDON’s team of heroes. The identity of these six remained a guarded secret.
Today, that tradition continues…
On another normal day in Angel Grove, a plane was flying through the air; within this flying machine, there were eight kids getting ready for what seemed to be the biggest event of their lives.
One of them cheered before shouting, “Come on, were out of here.”
A girl sitting next to him replied, “Easy Jason.”
Another boy said to the group, “Come on guys, we’ve twenty seconds until we’re directly over the landing target.” His statement made the whole group cheer.
Their group was made up of the six friends; Jason, the athletic and awesome one, known for his incredible martial arts technics.
Billy, the smart one; always looks for logical answers to explain things. He never goes anywhere without one of his friends, because as long as he has them by his side, he’s not scared of things like bullies or other things.
Then there’s Zack, another awesome one; he’s known on the streets as one of the coolest wrap dancers in Angel Grove. Zack is also trustworthy, he wouldn’t tell a lie unless he had to; and even if he did, it wouldn’t be to hurt anyone.
Trini, the eldest girl; she can sometimes seem a little strange to the group; but they always enjoy having her around. Despite what some might say, she’s not that strange; she’s just one of the kindest people out there.
Kimberly, the youngest member of the group, and Jason’s little sister; always wanting to cheer up her friends, and make them laugh. Known for her incredible gymnastics and karate skills; impressive for someone of her age.
And then finally, there’s Tommy; the newest member of the group. He moved to town just a few months ago, and was excepted into the group by the others; he enjoys giving what he can, and can perform martial just as good as Jason.
The group was about to perform a skydive in order to raise money for Angel Grove’s Observatory; it needed funding, and the kids pitched this idea to raise money for it.
However, before they could jump, “Alright pinheads, the soaring eagle’s about to fly.” Said a boy that was sat at the back of the plane.
“Ditto, followed by the swooping swallow.” Said the boy sat next to him.
Bulk and Skull, known across Angel Grove as the town knuckle heads; they also take pleasure in bullying other kids at their school. These only signed up to do the jump in order to get the glory; they had no care for the observatory.
Trini stepped forward and said to them, “Well, lead on fly boys.”
The two kids grabbed the door handle and pulled it open; giving them both a good look at what they were about to do.
Skull could feel his hair blowing in the wind, he shouted to Bulk, “That’s a lot of air.”
“After you Skull.” Bulk insisted.
“What are you crazy?! This was your idea!”
They both then felt a pat on their shoulders, they turned to see Kimberly behind them; she said to them, “Hey guys, you might want to slip those on.” she pointed at two parachutes.
Bulk and Skull looked at each other and said in unison, “Good idea.”
As the two of them began putting on their packs, the rest of the group got ready to make the jump; Billy stepped forward and looked at his watch, “Okay guys, three seconds until were over the target zone.”
“Trini, you’re up first.” Tommy then added on.
She turned to them and said, “Right.” She then stood by the door; Trini took two deep breaths before pulling herself out the door and shouting, “Geronimo!” she then began to free fall back to the ground.
Zack followed behind her, “Like a pro!” He shouted before jumping.
“All systems go!” Billy shouted as he jumped next.
Then Jason stood by the door and shouted, “Fun time!” whilst taking the leap of faith out the plane’s door.
Kimberly and Tommy watched their friends begin to free fall back down to the ground; the girl turns to her friend and says, “Show them your stuff.”
“You got it.” Tommy had strapped a snowboard to his feet; he pushed himself out the door and yelled, “Surfs up!” he then cheered as he fell.
Meanwhile, Kimberly turned back to Bulk and Skull; she said, “Catch you boys on the flip side.” Before jumping herself.
Now that the whole squad was falling through the clouds, they decided to show off by performing summersaults and front flips through the air; stunts that they would have no problem performing on the ground. They even tried spinning in the air rapidly; they all seemed like they were enjoying themselves.
Finally, the group came together and joined hands; the fell in a large circle for a few seconds. Before Tommy gave the order and said, “Alright guys, lets break.” The group let go and flew off in different directions; once they were a safe distance apart, they all released their parachutes to begin their final descent to the ground.
On the ground, a crowd of people were waiting for the kids to make their landing; all the people who had donated money to the observatory. In the middle of the crowd was a large bulls-eye target, in order to score the most points for their jump; the kids would have to land right in the centre.
The announcer on the microphone began talking to the crowd, “Ladies and Gentlemen, put your hands together; because here come the kids from Angel Grove High.” The crowd began cheering as the first of them got closer to the ground.
“The first one to make his landing; it’s Zack.” Zack held his feet off the ground long enough to then plant them down on the bulls-eye.
“Next one to land, we have Kimberly.” She did the same as Zack, holding her feet up until she planted them on the middle of the target.
“And here comes her brother Jason.” And again. “Who lands a bulls-eye just like the others.”
Billy and Trini almost come down at the same time; with Trini landing first and Billy after her. The announcer said, “Incredible, the executed that perfectly.”
“Which means Tommy Oliver is that last one to make his landing; they need this one now to make it six for six.”
After taking off her parachute, Kimberly went to watch her friend still falling; as her friends joined her, she then shouted, “Go Tommy!”
Until finally, Tommy held up his snowboard, before proudly planting it on the bulls-eye and scoring them the final point. The crowd went wild; and they had raised enough money from this event to save the observatory.
The final thing the announcer said into his microphone was, “Remember folks, Rhyans Comet passes earth in two days; don’t miss it.”
With the event and the skydive over, the group of friends met up; they began congratulating each other for the awesome thing they just did. Then Billy was the one to remember something, “Hey, has anyone seen Bulk and Skull?
All of them looked up into the air, Trini replied, “I guess those two just couldn’t do it.”
The pilot shouted back to the two knuckle heads who were still in the back of his plane. “You guys better hurry up and jump; were running out of fuel.”
Bulk began muttering to himself, “I’m gonna be the eagle, I’m gonna be the eagle.”
Skull stood right next to him and said, “Be the swallow.” He then gulped before repeating, “Be the swallow.”
“Come on, baby.” Bulk then said.
Until finally, the two of them jumped out of the plane; but as they fell, Skull was holding onto Bulk like a metal vice.
“Hey Skull, let go of me!”
“I want my mommy!”
The two of them screamed like crazy as the continued to descend.
Now that they had the rest of the day to themselves, Jason, Tommy, Trini, Billy, Zack and Kimberly decided to go roller-skating through town. They would enjoy doing tricks on their skates and showing off to their friends.
Whilst going through the centre of town, Tommy had an idea; he said, “Hey, let’s take a shortcut.”
“Right behind you.” Kimberly replied.
The group leaped through a gap in the road, it took them along a path through a construction site; they didn’t get in anyone’s way, they were too fast, they left the site on the other side. However, they weren’t what was going to interrupt the work; because that was going to come from the sky.
Bulk and Skull were descending to the ground; Bulk a opened his parachute and Skull was still holding on tight to him. The foreman in charge of the site looked up at them, and then went to greet them as they landed.
“This doesn’t look like the target landing zone. Where’s the free food.” Skull asked.
So Bulk replied, “You idiot, all your kicking a screaming threw off the stealth eagle’s sense of direction.”
“Stealth eagle? Lame duck is more like it.”
The two of them placed their feet on the ground, once that happened, the foreman walked over to them. “Hey.” he said to them; they both know they were in trouble. “Hey guys, what do you think you’re doing.”
Bulk had to think of something quickly, so he made a story up on the spot; he explained, “Uh… we’re from the Angel Grove building inspector’s office.”
“Yeah.” Skull said, playing along. He pointed at a random building and then in a random direction, “That building’s supposed to be over there.” He then turned back to the foreman, “Who’s in charge around here, huh?”
Before the foreman could answer, one of his workers caught his attention. “Dave, come and have a look at this.”
He listened to his worker and left the two knuckle heads; the two of them saw their chance and just slipped away while all the workers gathered around what one of them had found.
Piercing out of the ground, was what looked like a small black crystal; two workers tried to did at it with their shovels, but it would break free. The foreman knelt down to get a closer look, he then suggested using explosives to get it out. The workers did as instructed and set the dynamite; once everyone was clear, the foreman hit the button and blew it up.
When the smoke cleared, all the construction workers gathered back around the crater that had just been made. What shocked them the most, was that the crystal was still intact, and was actually bigger that they thought.
The foreman jumped into the newly made pit, he saw that the crystal was the size of a man; wanting to find out what this thing was, he went to touch it.
One of his workers asked, “What do you think it is? Obsidian, maybe?”
“No idea.” He replied.
The foreman placed his hand on the black crystal, nothing happened at first; until the rock began to glow and electrocute him. There was a sudden blast of purple and green light before the foreman was thrown out of the pit and into his workers.
His workers gathered around his unconscious body, one of them said, “Boss, are you alright?”
Meanwhile, the group of kids were still roller-skating through their home town; they were coming up to one of the kid hang outs of Angel Grove. Jason then suggested, “Hey guys, let’s get something to eat.”
But before anyone could reply, a beeping noise came from the bracelet Tommy was wearing; all the kids stopped on the spot, they then looked around to find someplace to hide. Tommy suggested, “Let’s go over there.” The group skated behind a bush where no one was watching.
Once they were out of site, Tommy pushed a button on his bracelet and answered the call, “What’s up, Alpha?”
A computerized voice answered back, “Rangers, Zordon needs you in the command centre; it’s urgent.”
“We’re on our way.” Tommy replied.
All of the kids were wearing these bracelets, they each pushed a button and suddenly began to glow a specific colour.
Jason glowed red.
Trini glowed yellow.
Zack glowed black.
Billy glowed blue.
Kimberly glowed pink.
And Tommy glowed green.
The glowing got brighter as the six of them were lifted into the air and flown to where they were going.
Within the Command Centre, a large building in the desert outside of town; Alpha-5, and strange looking robot, was running around his work station, completely freaking out. His station was made up of large control panels and computers; he could monitor all of Angel Grove with this tech.
“Ei, ei, ei; this cannot be happening. Not on Earth of all places.” He moved over to a different station and said, “I have to recalculate the frequency modulator.”
Suddenly, the six kids landed behind him; Jason runs up to the robot and asks, “Alpha, what’s wrong?”
Alpha replied, “A massive surge of evil energy is overloading our sensors; ei, ei, ei, ei, ei.”
Without warning, within a large glass cylinder at the each of the room; the master of all things here appeared. A floating head spirit appeared within the cylinder, Zordon of Eltar; who has been this way ever since he was trapped in a time warp.
Zordon said to the six kids, “Rangers, you must act quickly; your planet is in grave danger.”
Kimberly replied, “Danger from what?”
“Six years ago, an evil tyrant known as King Sombra, tried to conquer the distant planet, known as Equestria. He was defeated before he could use his last resort to win the battle, the Tartarus Titans; twin monsters, capable of enslaving the entire universe.” Zordon explained.
Billy then asked, “What happened to him?”
Zordon continued, “A group heroic warriors, like yourselves; defeated his army from the underworld and finally destroyed him. But his remains were scattered across the galaxy upon his destruction; and now it seems like some of him as be accidently uncovered here in Angel Grove. You must get to his remains and destroy them; before something diabolical happens and Sombra can return.”
Alpha then stepped forward and said, “The Tartarus Titans, were Sombra’s final way to win; if he returns, he’ll use them to destroy Earth and everyone on it.”
“Use extreme caution, rangers.” Zordon then stated. “You are dealing with an evil that is beyond all imagination."
