Power Rangers Darkness Rising [Discussion Thread]

Story:
"What is evil? Is it a menacing figure? Something unknown lurking in the shadows or maybe a shiver down your spine? Millenia ago, a true evil turned whole populations into his willing slaves through mind control. They called him "The Dark One", his powers being what we might call "vampire-esque". He thrived in the dark, shunned from the light and delighted in the terror he brought wherever he went. He was unstoppable....or so it seemed.

5 warriors had the courage to oppose him and, using the powers of the stars, they defeated him and left him stranded on a nearly dead planet, where nothing but bugs lived.

But somehow, he has escaped being stranded. He's looking to strike fear into the hearts of some very easy targets. He's been making his way towards Earth, collecting malevolent followers from various planets and star systems. Word of his plans have gotten out and the news has reached Earth. I am one of of the Space Rangers, my name is TJ and I met with someone who may have just the answer we need."

...and that's where the story begins. And this is the Discussion Thread for it. Questions? Comments? Leave them here.
