Desert of Despair

The Desert of Despair is a desert located in the Rutabaga system, specifically in Rutabaga 6 where Ninjor and his Temple of Power lie.

Environment[]

Near the Desert of Despair's caverns are ghostly plumes of purple smoke but the fields are filled with traps such as quicksand and highly combustible precious stones. Though the Desert of Despair is common knowledge to aliens such as Zordon and Rita Repulsa, the Temple is believed to be a myth.

Location History[]

Past[]

Using knowledge gained through books by the Morphin Masters, Ninjor learned about the Grid and the Power Coins were forged "to be used by those battling the evil forces of the universe." However, for over 10,000 years, this remained a myth as Zordon of Eltar and Alpha 5 just stumbled upon the Power Coins with a map to the Temple of Power hidden in the Desert of Despair.

It was revealed that a statue of Ninjor once housed the Green Power Coin which has been guarded from afar by Rooten-Toomen and taken by Rita Repulsa. Comicicon COMIC STORY- Going Green

Mighty Morphin[]

When Rito Revolto destroys the Thunderzords and damages the first set of Power Coins permanently, the Power Rangers seek out Ninjor at the Temple of Power for assistance after Zordon tells them the myth. They bring the map to Ninjor but it is destroyed by a fire bomb and they are ambushed by Tenga Warriors whilst struggling to find the Temple. They are overwhelmed until they find the entrance to the Temple by accident and the Tengas stand guard after planting a Vampirus egg. The Desert of Despair is later the site where the Tenga Warriors and are defeated by the Power Rangers with their new Ninja Ranger powers. Tvicon TV STORY-Ninja Quest

After defeating Dischordia, Ninjor returns to the Desert of Despair and his temple never to be seen again. Tvicon TV STORY-The Sound of Dischordia

Split History[]

In 2205, Ninjor is still residing inside his bottle in the Temple of Power until the Blue Senturion arrives with the intention of arresting him as he believes that Ninjor is responsible for the creation of the Mutant Rangers that rob the the Angel Grove Museum. Ninjor isn't willing to cooperate as he wishes to be left alone and even mocks the rookie cop by poking his eye when the Blue Senturion picks up his bottle. However, when Ninjor overhears that the Rangers are related to the crime, he grows curious and excitedly decides to join the Blue Senturion as his partner on the case much to the Blue Senturion’s chagrin.
