Plot
Over 10,000 years ago, Rita Repulsa is on a planet chasing after an alien named Loriyan who was assigned by her to retrieve the Dragon Power Coin he had stolen from Ninjor and bring it to her. The thief betrayed her by keeping it and she is ready to execute him. Loriyan prepares to defend himself by morphing into the Green Ranger, but his morph is incomplete and unstable. Loriyan justifies his theft as now he can become very rich by selling the Dragon Power Coin to the highest bidder and lunges at Rita to attack. Rita easily knocks him away with an energy blast of magic from her hand, the Green Ranger suit gets ripped apart from the blast and the helmet cracks open to reveal Loriyan's face. Rita tells Loriyan what a fool he is as he is unable to even stay stably morphed as only those who are of certain quality can use the coin properly. Loriyan, battered and bleeding, begs for his life to his empress and claims the coin tempted him with its power. Rita says she does not plan on killing him as he was so loyal to her for so long before this and promises he will get to be together with the coin...forever.
