Note: I've changed the timeline a bit. In which Gunter Schmidt never came to Angel Grove, and Kim never left for the Pan Global Games. However, I've decided to keep Kat in, since she was a major key player when she was a villain, and when she turned good. I've made it that Kat helped get Kim's coin back, helped get Ninjor & the Falcon-Zord back, but never became the Pink Ranger, just a good friend & a trusted ally to the Rangers. Kind of like what Rocky, Aisha, and Adam were before becoming Power Rangers. Parts 1-6 were written by me alone. Parts 7 & up were co-authored by Sandy 'The Sandman' Riedinger.
Inside the technological fortress that is the Command Center, the Rangers appeared. And when they arrived, they were greeted by Alpha, robotic assistant to their mentor, Zordon. They were also greeted by their ally and friend, the Master Of The Ninjetti Powers, Ninjor. "Greetings Power Friends. We are all glad you arrived so quickly. We believe we might have another crisis on our hands."
"THANK YOU NINJOR! RANGERS, WE HAVE DETECTED AN UNUSUAL BUILD-UP OF POWER ORIGINATING FROM OUTER SPACE. MORE SPECIFICALLY FROM MASTER VILE'S SKULL CRUISER!!" Zordon said to the Rangers.
"That explains that thunder storm that just appeared a few minutes ago." Adam said to the others.
"ALPHA & I HAVE MONITORED THIS UNNATURAL PHENOMENON, AND WHAT WE HAVE DISCOVERED IS VERY DISTURBING!!" Zordon said to the Rangers.
"Well, what exactly did you find that could be so disturbing, Zordon?" Billy asked, adjusting his glasses.
"Aye-yi-yi!" Alpha cried out as he worked on the computers to calculate all the data.
"ALL OF YOU, OBSERVE THE VIEWING GLOBE!" Zordon said to the Rangers, as they turned around and looked into the globe.
They saw electrical energy surrounding the main corridor of the Skull Cruiser and saw an evil being appear.
"Who is that guy?" Aisha asked.
"That is Shogunar, the Master Of The Dark Ninjetti Powers." Ninjor replied.
The Rangers turned around and they all looked at Ninjor with a strange look on their faces. None of them could believe that this Shogunar person was another ninja master that held the key to another side of the Ninjetti power.
"Ninjor, how can this guy be a master of the Ninjetti powers? We thought that you were?" Rocky asked.
Ninjor looked at the Rangers with a disturbed look in his eyes. "I am only the master of the Good Ninjetti powers, while Shogunar is master of the Dark Ninjetti powers. You see, Shogunar is... my brother."
"What? You mean like that guy we saw in the Viewing Globe is YOUR brother? Oh man, this is really intense." Kim said.
"But Ninjor, if he is your brother," Tommy asked, "How did he get like this?"
Ninjor took a deep breath, trying to get his thoughts in order before he began telling the story. "It happened many years ago, when the battle between good & evil took place. My brother & I were born to a pair of ninja masters. They trained us both as we grew up. During that time, I noticed my brother changing ever so slightly. Our training was complete, we both became masters of Ninjetti. Our parents wanted us to fight against evil in the war. I was willing, but not my brother. He felt that the powers he was given and the abilities he possessed should be used to conquer & destroy. We tried to talk some sense into him, but he wouldn't listen. That's when he decided to join the dark side and assist any & all evil forces. It was my duty to use my abilities to bring peace to the universe. Over the following years, I fought my brother in numerous battles, each using the powers we possessed against one another. But each encounter ends up the same, we never seem able to defeat each other, we are too evenly matched. We are the perfect example of how one person can't exist without the other. I'm good, he's evil. Two forces destined to fight each other for all eternity." Ninjor has a sad look in his eyes. The Tommy put his hand on Ninjor's shoulder, and gave him a smile to let him know that it was alright.
"Zordon, I think I know what's happening. Master Vile summoned Shogunar to help Zedd & Rita in their efforts to destroy us." Billy said to everyone.
"THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT WE SUSPECTED!! WITH THE COMBINED FORCES OF ZEDD, RITA, MASTER VILE, AND SHOGUNAR, IT MAY BE MORE THAN YOU CAN HANDLE POWER RANGERS!!!"
"That may be Zordon, but we've faced tougher challenges before, and we've always managed to come out on top. I think we're strong enough to handle this, right guys?" Adam asked his fellow Rangers.
"Adam's right, besides we have Ninjor on our side. And you know what they say, 'Good always triumphs over evil'." Aisha said confidently with a smile.
The other Rangers just smiled at each other, and knew that what Aisha said was true. No matter how strong a monster they faced, no matter what the odds of survival or victory were, the Power Rangers never gave up hope and always hung in there.
Back at the Palace, Zedd, Rita, Master Vile, and the other henchmen were gathered around to greet their new visitor, Shogunar. Shogunar shook hands with Goldar, Rito, Lord Zedd, and Rita Repulsa. "It is a great honor to be working with you great evil masters. I will do whatever is necessary to assist you in destroying these.... Power Rangers." Shogunar then bowed in respect to his masters.
They all smiled in admiration of Shogunar's ambition. Zedd signaled for the Tengas to bring in their prisoner, a still frozen Ricky Summers. "Shogunar, we wish for you to give this young man the dark Ninjetti powers of the Green Ranger." Zedd requested.
Master Vile stepped forward continuing. "But before you do that, Zedd, Rita, and myself will need to combine our evil magic to place this boy under a very powerful spell. This spell won't be like those other spells where we control his every move. No, this time, we shall combine our powers to bring out the dark side that lies deep within his soul, thus making him the perfect dark soldier." Master Vile smiled.
"Excellent Daddy Meanest! Plus, there'll be no way for those pathetic geeks to break this spell! It'll be just too strong for them to break, and when they realize that there is nothing they can do to help Ricky, we'll destroy them!! Hahahahahahahaaaaaa!!!!" Rita cackled in extreme evil joy.
"Now, let's get this show on the road, I'll go first!" Zedd pronounced to them all. He raised his staff in Ricky's direction. "I, Lord Zedd, Emperor Of Evil, and loving husband to Rita Repulsa, hereby say the following words: May darkness corrupt the light that lies within your soul, and may that darkness give you strength & pleasures you have never experienced before!" His staff began to glow with intense magical energies.
Rita stepped forward, and raised her magic wand in Ricky's direction also. "I, Rita Repulsa, Empress Of Evil, daughter of Master Vile and loyal wife to Lord Zedd, hereby say the following words: On your journey to the dark side, may you gain all the aspects of being evil!! And let these aspects show you the true nature of what it is to be evil!" Just as Zedd's staff did, Rita's magical wand began to glow with evil energy.
Finally, Master Vile stepped forward and slowed raised his magical sceptre in Ricky's direction. "I, the great & powerful Master Vile, Ruler Of The M-51 Galaxy and father to Rita Repulsa, Rito Revolto, and father-in-law to Lord Zedd, hereby say these words: May our combined energies give you powers & wisdom to guide you in your destiny as the Prince Of Darkness. And may you live forever, so that you may continue to use that power and wisdom to carry out great evil deeds!!"
At that moment, the multi-colored streams of electrical, magical energies from all three staffs lashed out, and coated Ricky's frozen body. A few minutes passed, and Ricky began to move slowly. His arms went down to his sides, his legs straightened out somewhat, he turned his head to look at Zedd, Rita, and the others, and he gave them an evil grin. "Honey, I'm home!! Hahahahahahahaaaaaaaa!!!!!" Ricky shouted to them all.
All the occupants of the room laughed together as their laughs echoed endlessly into the halls of the Chamber Of Commands, throughout the entire palace, and even in the soundless void of space.
