LORD ZED'S EVIL EMPIRE
ORIGIN:
Thousands of years ago the villainous Lord Zed set about conquering the galaxy. He gathered him army from across the world and honed his magic to incredible strengths in order to achieve his goal. One of the first planets to fall was Eltar, the home world of the Zeo Crystal and the mighty hero Zordon. Zed's aim was to capture the Zeo crystal to further increase his power and aid in his quest. However when he came into contact with the crytal his skin was flayed from his body and he was forced to retreat in order to recover. The now gortesque Zed was no longer interested in conquering Elater and instead set about its destruction. In the fight to protect his home Zordon was tasked with protecting the Zeo crystal as it was already too late to save his home. Eltar fell and Zordon escaped to Earth. Zed still angry with losing his skin was not focused on the crystal and let it go. He then continued his campaign of destruction across the galaxy taking planet after planet. Knowing he could not oversee the capture of all planets himself Zed recruited the aid of his wife, a powerful witch named Rita Revolta. He tasked Rita with conquering some of the planets he deemed unworthy of his time chief among these planets was Earth, the new home of Zordon.
Rita recruited one of Zed's Generals in Goldar and brought and army of her own to conquer earth. Upon reaching earth however Rita was met with fierce opposition from the last hero of Eltar, the Red Power Ranger, Zordon. Despite being heavily outnumbered, the power of the Zeo Crystal allowed Zordon to combat Rita and fend of her forces. Using all the power of the Zeo crystal to seal Rita and her forces away on Earths moon Zordon lost his body but with his power and the help of his sidekick Alpha V he managed to stay alive creating himself a Command Centre on earth in case Rita ever returned. Thousands of years passed and Zed's Evil empire grew to enormous sizes but still he had to conquered earth. He sent some of his soldiers, Baboo and Finster to aid Rita in her goal. They soon discovered she was imprisoned on the moon and managed to free her. With a rage that had been burning for thousands of years she was now more determined than ever to conquers earth in the name of Lord Zed. It was then she met the Power Rangers. A groups of heroes imbued with Zordon's powers were all that stood in her way. She came close to defeating the rangers and taking over earth many times, the closest of which was when she created a power ranger of her own to combat the rangers. Eventually this plan also failed and she was left defeated. In a last ditch effort to take earth she unleashed all her forces at once to defeat the power rangers but it was too little too late and she had lost.
Her husband was furious at her failure and now made it a matter of pride to succeed where Rita could not. Zed came to earth and brought with him a ferocity the Power Rangers had never seen and lack of mercy that was troubling to behold. He immediately made an impression by unleashing a new breed of enemy on the rangers and eventually managed to even kill one of the Power Rangers marking a turning point in his battle for earth. After the death of one of their own the Rangers seemed to fall apart and this lead to Zed gaining a stranglehold over the earth. He took a liking to the planet and soon decided it would be the seat of his empire. The Rangers were soon no match for Zed and with each passing battle they grew weaker. He soon killed the Yellow and Black Rangers too ensuring that the Power Rangers were nothing but a fairy tale. in the coming months Zed faced little opposition until the remaining White and Red Rangers confronted him whilst making a public appearance. A difficult battle ensued but Zed managed to slay the White Ranger sending the Red running into hiding. Zed had won, the Earth was his and he was going to enjoy it. With the White Ranger powers in hand Zed was prepared for any battle that were to come his way...
