Ninjetti Lore Entry #5

It is not my idea of a good day to receive bad news, not as we are on the precipice of war. Ivan is coming and we are clearly outmatched. Though my Ninjetti have shown great resilience in this time of need, I fear they may not survive. I haven’t expressed this to them, and I don’t think that I will but sending them off to die is something I can not do…

Zordon, on the other hand, has assured me there is a way to defeat Ivan when he arrives. I have agreed to meet with him to discuss his plan. As I trek though this lush jungle I call home, I wonder for how long I can call it that. There’s so much riding on this war that I fear that —

“Ah, Dulcea,” I hear a voice. “Over here.”

I look up and see Zordon adorned with the most beautiful Eltarian Armor I have ever seen as the Supreme Guardian of Eltar. “I am glad you are able to join us. This is my second in command, Zophram.” he nods to me. I nod back. Zordon laces his hands behind his back and begins. 

“As I have said, Ivan Ooze, being a Morphological Being, we do not have the means to fully destroy him. He will just regenerate —-”

“Zordon, if I may,” I begin. “Why are we amassing forces from around the galaxy to fight a war that we can not win? 

“There is more than one way to skin a Saardian cat, my dear,” I hear Zophram say. I look at him perplexed. 

“What do you mean?” 

“Ivan may not be able to be fully destroyed, at least our forces right now can not, but we can trap him. Zophram!” 

Zophram steps forward with a small device and an image of light appears. It’s an egg, and enclosing it is a giant hand of metal claws. 

“What is it?” I asked. 

“It is a Hyperlock Chamber. Made with the finest of Eltarian Steel and sealed with an ancient spell.” Zophram replies

“And you’re thinking about sealing Ivan away in this? Wouldn’t he just break free?” 

“Not alone, No. The only way he can be freed is by someone on the outside.” Zordon answers. “Once he is trapped, I will take him to a distant plant and bury him deep underground. His whereabouts will be unknown to anyone and everyone, even Dark Spector.” 

“Correct, I won’t know where he is hidden.” Zophram adds. “The Chamber is already complete. We just need a few more things.”

“You said there is a spell.”

“Yes,” Zophram says. “To my knowledge, Phaedos has everything we need. We just need you to collect it.” 

He hands me a list. I take it and look over it. 

Skull of a Glass Raven.

Heart of Alpha Behemoth 

Water from the Well of Souls

Flame from the Eye of Saisis 

Blood from the Sapphire of Life. 

“And you’re sure this will work?” I ask, I hope they can hear the reassurance in my voice. 

They pause. Zordon looks at me and he knows that I’m worried. “Dulcea, I understand your concern. Before now your world has been shown peace after bouts of war amongst your people. War is the last thing you want, but if we do this, there will probably not have to be any war. We can trap Ivan before he even has the chance to say attack.” 

That helps a little bit with my concern, but I guess we have no choice but collect these things so we can stop a war before it has a chance to begin. 

“I have the Ninjetti collect what you need and have it to you in three days.” 

“Fantastic.” Zordon says. I turn to walk away when I hear, “May The Power Protect You.”

I turn into a snow owl and fly off.

Trivia 1: Saardian Cat is a nod to Yale from the Boom! Studios comics series that becomes the Blue Omega Ranger later on.

Trivia 2: Zophram eventually becomes Lord Zedd in the Boom! Studios comics. Even though the Movie follows a different continuity, this explains how Lord Zedd knew of Ivan Ooze but didn't know where he was.
