Group Name: Power Rangers Rail Rescue
Objective: Discover the origins of the Scales and stop Zzyzx from whatever evil they are planning.
Alignment: Good
History: Doctor Edward Payne (Kayla's father) began researching a mysterious power source years ago under a government contract, but his research went nowhere, so he was dropped. He didn't give up, and began the search himself, and then through his daughter. What they sought, as it would turn out, was called the Rainbow Scale.

A competitor of Payne's took up the same contract, and with it began to tamper with genetics and machinery. In the end, the entire facility was destroyed, but out of it came the scientists, reformed into machines (the big purple thing was a mutation however). Their head loved history, thus explaining their "clothing". The competitor survived and helped form this group back together, and helped in the rebuilding process.

This group hid in the shadows, knowing society would no longer accept them. And then he located a Shadow Scale, similar to the Rainbow Scale. He used it to gain more power, and become the villain society would deem them all to be. He created a new organization called Zzyzx, and created mechanical soldiers to do his bidding. He uses the Shadow Scale to create monsters to do his bidding.

Once Kayla found the Rainbow Scale, it erupted into energy, passing off to certain people, Kayla included. These people have a proper resonation within their bodies to combat the Shadow Scale's power, and as such must take up the mantle of the Power Rangers Rail Rescue to defeat Zzyzx and their dark goals. Only those who have been imbued with the Scale's power can use the RR equipment.

The origin of the Scales is unknown, although they are from two different sources, that much is clear. It's a race against the clock now for Payne and Zzyzx to find the origin and use it to their advantage.

Group Name: Council of Thirteen
Objective: Rule the Magic Land.
Alignment: Lawful Good (for they are the law)
History: When King Arthur fell to the blade of the traitor Mordred, the great wizard Merlin knew that the age of knights and sorcery would soon come to an end. He gathered his fellow wizards and various non-human creatures with the promise of creating a world just for them (though quite a few of them choose to stay behind on Earth). Merlin used every bit of his magic to create a small pocket dimension amid the folds of reality to house them. He gave his soul in creating this space and his body in creating the land necessary to sustain its new occupants.

A land of magic had been born, simply dubbed the Magic Land (though Merlinland and New Camelot were also proposed). The mages went right to work and build seven great cities, the greatest of which they made the capitol of the new land and called Greyhaven. Livestock had been brought from the other side to breed and plants of pure magic grew from the ground. All was great, though if only you were a mage.

The other races were quickly shunned and forced out of the great cities. They traveled to the far corners of the Magic Land and started their own villages. One of these races is the Akuma, who would come into great conflict with the mages later on in what was later dubbed, half-jokingly, "The Inaugural War."

For hundreds of years, the Magic Land was ruled over by the royal family who took on the name Merlyn after their great founder. Eventually, their court of advisers gained more and more power and prominence until it was they themselves that were running the Magic Land while the royal family remained as figureheads.

Only the most powerful mages in the land get to join the Thirteen Council and only the most powerful among them can take the title of Minister of Magic.
