The story of "Power Rangers: Mystic Force" begins many years ago when five mystic warriors battled the heinous armies of the frightening wizard Morticon. After years of warfare and aided by their magical powers, the mystical warriors were able to banish the evil Morticon and his armies into the Pit, a dangerous place miles below the surface world where they were trapped forever.
Now, years later, the seal has been weakened by the ignorance of the people of Briarwood, a thriving city where everyone gets along. That is, if they avoid the spooky yet spellbinding creatures of the Forest, a dark, creepy place where goblins, wizards and witches reside. Scary legends have infested the Forest, dividing the people of Briarwood and the creatures of the Forest. This discord is making it easy for Morticon and his army to rise to the surface and take control over the Forest and Briarwood. Only the new Mystic Rangers can stop this obliteration but to do so, they must combine the supernatural forces of the Forest and the technology of Briarwood to end the reign of Morticon. Using a secret portal at The Rockporium, a small record store where the Rangers work and a clairvoyant tree located in the Forest, they will travel through two different worlds to fight against Morticon and restore peace between the creatures of the Forest and the people of Briarwood.
