Fulfilling an old prophecy (see 1800-1940), the Red Zeo Subcrystal arrives in the American Southwest from 1996, later followed by Tommy Oliver, who is in the form of a child due to an evil spell. Tommy is given the crystal, as well as half of a mystical arrowhead (see ?,000 BCE), by a shaman known as "True of Heart," the alter ego of Sam Trueheart (see 1978-79).
David receives the other half of the arrowhead (see 1996) from True of Heart, somehow not recognizing the man to be his adoptive father.

As the animal plague threatens Tanya's village (see left panel), the Yellow Zeo Subcrystal arrives from 1996 and is found by Ashalla. Arriving in the form of a child due to an evil spell, Aisha ultimately decides to stay and help the animals, sending Tanya in her place.
When the Zeo Crystal of 1996 removes the spell over the future Rangers, Aisha is also restored to her teenage form despite remaining in the past. She ultimately saves the village with her veterinary knowledge (see 1996), changing history.
Meanwhile, the young Aisha native to this time (see 1985-86) continues to live with her parents in Stone Canyon, later serving as Yellow Ranger (see 1994).

MMPR-1: "Enter... The Lizzinator"
|
August-December 1993
On the moon, Earthen astronauts unwittingly open Rita Repulsa's space dumpster (see 8,000 BCE), which has crashed there some time ago. Rita returns to Lord Zedd's moon palace (see 8-10,000 BCE) and targets Angel Grove. In the desert nearby, Zordon's Command Center (see 1880) is manned by Alpha Five (also see 8,000 BCE), built some time ago by Lexian of the planet Edenoi (see 1000-1600 CE).
Zordon and Alpha issue Power Coins (see 8,000 BCE), Morphers (devices to morph humans into Power Rangers), and Dinozords to Angel Grove High School freshmen Jason Lee, Zack Taylor, Billy Cranston, Trini Kwan, and Kimberly Hart (see 1978-79), who serve as Earth's first known modern Power Rangers (also see 1880).
At school and Ernie's Juice Bar (see 1960-69), Bulk and Skull (see 1986-87) regularly antagonize the Power teens, never suspecting their superhero identities (see 1998).
At some point, Rita's assistant Finster begins deciphering the Scrolls of Zordnia, which indicate the location of the ancient Shogunzords (see 1995).
Blue Ranger Billy soon invents wrist communicators which will be used for communication and teleportation by Zordon's Ranger teams through 1998 (also see 2045-55).
Rita discovers the Power Eggs (see ?? million years BCE) in a cave, but the Rangers return them to the sea.
The teens celebrate Black Ranger Zack's birthday, probably his fifteenth.
When Tommy Oliver (see 1978-79) moves to Angel Grove, Rita turns him into her evil Green Ranger using the Sword of Darkness (see 8-10,000 BCE) and her green Power Coin (see 8,000 BCE). Meanwhile, Scorpina (see 8,000 BCE) returns from dormancy. Tommy soon joins the Rangers' side once freed from Rita's evil spell and continues to control the Dragonzord (see 8,000 BCE).
When Rita creates replicating Super Putties, the Rangers complete their Dinozord fleet with the addition of Titanus (see 8,000 BCE) during a quest for new weapons.
Rita later summons Lokar (see 8,000 BCE) to trap the teens on the extradimensional Island of Illusion. The Rangers escape the island's destruction with an inhabitant named Quagmire.
Rita ultimately drains most of Tommy's powers using a magical Green Candle, but he passes the remainder of his powers to Red Ranger Jason. Jason will use the powers in two subsequent battles before their apparent exhaustion.
As Angel Grove celebrates "Power Ranger Day," Rita moves her palace downtown and uses Lokar (see above) to unleash Cyclopsis (see 8,000 BCE). Alpha hacks into Rita's computers, causing her to retreat to the moon after Cyclopsis is destroyed. Offered a chance to retire, the teens choose to keep their powers.

1994
Zordon's Power Rangers continue to thwart Rita's attacks on Angel Grove (see 1993) through the first half of 1994.
At one point, Rita abducts the Rangers' parents, steals the Dragon Dagger (see 1993), and forces the Rangers to surrender their Power Coins. Using energy pooled from Zordon and the Rangers, Tommy (see 1993) saves the day as the Green Ranger and returns to the team.
During the summer, Lord Zedd returns (see 8-10,000 BCE), perhaps having lost his distant empire, and banishes Rita in her space dumpster (see 1993). The Rangers' Dinozords are upgraded into Thunderzords.
Bulk and Skull (see 1993) begin a fruitless quest to expose the Rangers' identities for fame and fortune. The Power teens soon begin their sophomore year at Angel Grove High.
As Lord Zedd repeatedly targets the Green Ranger to erase Rita's failures, Tommy is slowly deprived of power (see below).

(cont'd; without Tommy's warning to self) [Section A]
Tommy learns from Zordon that his temporary powers (see above) are nearly depleted.
Probably similar to section B (center panel), Tommy loses his powers in the Otherworld, where his communicator has been jammed.
Perhaps upset by Goldar's images (see center panel), an exhausted Tommy somehow warns his past self (actually Tommy B, center panel) of his final battle, telling him to remember a communicator.
This Tommy's future is unknown: he may be defeated or may contact another past self to retrieve the aforementioned communicator.

1994
(cont'd; after Tommy's warning to self, without follow-up) [Section B]
Tommy receives a warning from an alternate future self (actually Tommy A, left panel) telling him to remember a communicator for his final battle.
When Zordon later tells Tommy his powers are nearly depleted, he recalls his recent vision and steels himself for a powerless final battle.
Slowly siphoning Tommy's powers with a Green Crystal, Zedd creates the Dark Rangers from five punks, seals off the Command Center, and jams the communicators.
When the remainder of his powers are stolen in Zedd's Otherworld, Tommy confidently clobbers Goldar despite efforts to break his spirit with images from a time device.
Tommy then uses the time device to contact himself in the recent past (actually Tommy C, right panel). Receiving a working communicator, Tommy escapes but soon returns to shatter the Green Crystal.
Downtown, Tommy uses residual energy from the Green Crystal for a final battle, after which the Dragonzord is retired.

Some time after receiving an initial warning (see upper portion of section B), Tommy is carrying a spare communicator when he encounters a second hologram from the future (see lower portion of section B), to whom he gives the communicator.
This Tommy's events are probably similar to section B after this point despite his encounters with two future Tommys rather than one.

Zordon soon gives Tommy new White Ranger powers, along with Saba the talking saber and the White Tigerzord. Tommy and Pink Ranger Kimberly begin dating.
Zedd captures Stone Canyon ninja teens Rocky, Adam, and Aisha (see 1993). They are rescued by the Rangers but discover their identities in the process. They continue to aid the Rangers and soon transfer to Angel Grove High through unknown circumstances.
When Jason, Trini, and Zack are chosen for the World Peace Summit in Geneva, the Rangers use a special map and ring to retrieve the Sword of Light from the Deserted Planet (see ?,000 BCE) and transfer powers to Rocky, Adam, and Aisha as Jason, Trini, and Zack depart. (Note: Aside from both trios briefly shown in Ranger suits simultaneously, all other indications suggest the powers were transferred and not duplicated.)
Zedd completes the titanic Zord Serpentera (see 1996) but repeatedly suffers from a power shortage.
Scorpina (see 1993) is last seen briefly serving Lord Zedd in a scheme to deceive Black Ranger Adam.

(alternate)
Rita and Zedd are apparently married (see center panel) with a new assistant, Mordant. Zordon, the Command Center, Alpha Five, the communicators, the Ranger suits, the moon palace, and the Juice Bar all look drastically different from normal continuity.
His hyper-lock chamber unearthed, Ivan Ooze (see 4,000 BCE) is freed by Zedd. He ravages the Command Center, stripping the Rangers' powers and leaving Zordon in a dying physical form.
After betraying Rita and Zedd, Ivan creates Tengu Warriors (also see Tengas, center panel).
On the planet Phaedos, the teens meet the warrior-sage Dulcea and receive Ninjetti powers (also see Ninja powers, center panel) and Ninjazords of a different design from those in normal continuity (see center panel).
Ivan, meanwhile, unearths his Ectomorphicon Titans Scorpitron and Hornitor (see 4,000 BCE).
After Scorpitron is destroyed by the Ninjazords, Ivan possesses Hornitor but is destroyed by a comet.
The Rangers then use their powers to restore the Command Center and revive Zordon.
MMPR: The Movie
|
1995
Zordon's Power Rangers continue to defend the Earth from Zedd's attacks (see 1994).
During an encounter with the Scatterbrain monster, Bulk and Skull (see 1994) discover the Rangers' identities and rescue them from the monster. They lose their memories but are told they saved the Rangers.
Zedd uses the Rock of Time to regress the Earth to a form resembling 1986-87 until the Rangers, restored by Alpha, destroy the rock.
Rita (see 1994) returns to the moon as Zedd slumbers. Planning to usurp his power, she drugs him with a love potion and marries him, but the couple will grow to love each other even after Zedd is cured of the potion.
Rita's Wizard of Deception (see 8-10,000 BCE) clones Tommy to recreate the evil Green Ranger (see 1993). The Wizard then banishes the five other Rangers to 1795, but they are eventually rescued by the Green and White Rangers. Ultimately, the clone chooses to remain in the past.
Sucked into a time hole, Kimberly visits 1880, fighting alongside the Rangers' ancestors before returning home.
The Rangers visit Edenoi (see 1000-1600 CE), where King Lexian's nephew Count Dregon now rules supreme. They befriend Prince Dex, who uses the Masked Rider powers (see 1000-1600 CE) to lead an underground rebellion.
Dregon follows the Rangers to Earth and is likely pursued by Dex with an unknown outcome. (Note: Nadira will be watching an episode of the real-life spin-off Saban's Masked Rider in 2001, featuring Dex with his adoptive Earthen family.)
Rito (see 1,000 BCE) allies with his sister Rita, bringing a legion of avian Tenga Warriors and destroying the Thunderzords (see 1994) in an ambush. The Rangers' Power Coins are burned out, although Adam will still have his charred Morpher and coin in 1998.
The teens locate Ninjor (see 400-995 CE) and receive Ninja powers and Ninjazords somehow associated with the Aquitian Rangers (see 400-995 CE). Ninjor continues to aid the Rangers in Angel Grove.
No longer seeking the Rangers' identities (see 1994), Bulk and Skull join the Junior Police Patrol under the guidance of Lt. Jerome Stone.
When Kimberly's mom moves to France with her fiance, Kimberly moves in with Aisha to train for the Pan Global gymnastics trials (see 1996).
Freed by Rita and Zedd, the Face Stealer (see 3,000 BCE) is destroyed with the help of a reconfigured Titanus (see 1994).
During the summer, Kat Hillard (see 1994) moves to Angel Grove and is put under a spell by Rita. Kat steals Kimberly's Power Coin, allowing Zedd to capture Ninjor and the Falconzord to activate the ancient Shogunzords (similar to Battle Borgs, 400-995 CE).
The Rangers eventually gain control of the Shogunzords, and Kat retrieves Kimberly's coin after breaking Rita's spell.
Kimberly presumably continues to serve as the Pink Ranger while training for the Pan Globals through the rest of the year. During this unseen period, the Falconzord and Ninjor remain captured, and the Power teens begin their junior year at Angel Grove High.
On Christmas Eve, the teens protect Santa Claus from Zedd's henchmen. Kat, meanwhile, is away visiting family.

Zordon's Power Rangers continue to defend the Earth from Rita and Zedd (see 1995). During this time, Zordon and Alpha prepare Metallic Armor upgrades to the Rangers' suits, as well as the secret underground Power Chamber (see below).
Kimberly eventually passes the Pan Global gymnastics trials (see 1995) and gives her powers to Kat as she moves to Florida for training. There, she will begin dating someone other than Tommy (see 1994) and presumably competes in the summer 1996 Pan Global Games.
Rita's father Master Vile arrives seeking the Zeo Crystal (see ??,000 BCE). Alerted by Ninjor (see 1995), the Rangers retrieve the Zeo Crystal and Falconzord (see 1995) from the moon.
After defeating Vile's Globbor monster, the Rangers split the Zeo Crystal into five fragments and cast them into a time hole (see below) to hide them from Vile.

The survivors will take shelter on the desert planet Centaur B, calling themselves the "Rebels" (see 1998).
Zhane, meanwhile, is mortally wounded in battle. Andros retreats with Zhane's body in cryogenic suspension aboard the Astro Megaship (see 1998).

early summer 1996
(before Zeo Crystal reassembly)
On Kat's seventeenth or eighteenth birthday, Master Vile's Orb of Doom transforms the Earth and its inhabitants into a form resembling 1989-90. The teens become powerless children again (also see 1995), and Ninjor once again resides in his temple, not having met the Rangers. The Power Coins allow Alpha, Zordon, and the Ranger kids to remember the future.
The Aquitian Rangers (see 400-995 CE) defend the Earth using their Battle Borgs and the Rangers' Shogunzords. Furious, Master Vile returns to the M51 galaxy.
Immediately after Billy restores his own age with an invention powered by the Power Coins, Rita and Zedd destroy the coins.
In time, the Aquitian Rangers grow unhealthy and make repeated visits to Aquitar for rehydration. Meanwhile, the child Rangers seek the scattered Zeo Subcrystals from various countries and times (see 1940-49, 1900-90, 1950-90, and 1989-90). On his quest, Tommy also receives half of an ancient arrowhead (see ?,000 BCE).
Summoned by Rita and Zedd, the Aquitian Rangers' arch-nemesis Hydro Hog causes a worldwide drought but falls to the Shogunzords. During this time, Rito and Goldar prepare an implosion device in the Command Center's basement.
The Zeo Crystal is completed as young Tanya Sloan arrives from 1989-90's Kenya, while Aisha remains in the past.
The crystal restores Earth to its present form and transforms Tanya into a teenager as well (although her memories of the years since 1989-90 remain a mystery). Events from the previous period are apparently undone, with perhaps an alternate several weeks in their place (see immediate right panel).

mid summer 1996 - December 1996
(after Zeo Crystal reassembly)
With time restored (see above), the Rangers and Tanya now possess the Zeo Crystal, but their Power Coins have been destroyed (see above). Ninjor (see above) once again resides in the Temple of Power due to unknown circumstances, and the fate of the Ninjazords and Shogunzords is unknown.
After the Aquitians return home, Rito and Goldar attempt to steal the Zeo Crystal, and the Command Center is destroyed (see above), perhaps also wiping out the Morphing Grid (but see 2003). During the evacuation, Billy absorbs "negative proton molecules" which will later prevent him from becoming the Gold Ranger (see 1997).
The teens find the Zeo Crystal in the rubble, while the now amnesic Rito and Goldar are adopted by Bulk and Skull in Angel Grove (see 1997). As the Zeo Crystal rebuilds the Command Center exterior, Alpha and Zordon activate the Power Chamber (see above).
The Machine Empire (see 400-995 CE) sends Rita and Zedd fleeing to the M51 galaxy in Serpentera (see 1994), and the Rangers use the Zeo Crystal to become Zeo Rangers, armed with new weapons and Zords. Billy becomes the team's technical advisor.
The Ranger teens begin their senior year at Angel Grove High. Billy soon graduates early and journeys to Aquitar, where he peacefully resolves a conflict with aliens known as Hydro Contaminators. He also meets his future love Cestria (see 1997) before returning home.
Kat reveals her feelings for Tommy (see 1997) shortly after he receives a break-up letter from Kimberly (see above).
Tommy masters the telepathic Red Battlezord and finds his brother David Trueheart (see 1989-90). Their ancient arrowhead (see 1989-90) is briefly reassembled, and the Autochthon monster (see ?,000 BCE) is awakened from an ancient cave.
Although courted by music producers, Tanya decides to finish the school year with her friends, planning to revisit her music career after graduation (see 1997).

January 1997 - summer 1997
The Zeo Rangers are aided against the Machine Empire (see 1996) by the Gold Ranger of the planet Triforia (see 400-995 CE). Billy works on a secret project of an undisclosed nature.
Hunted by Varox bounty hunters for unknown reasons, the Gold Ranger is shot down over Aquitar (see 1996). Revealed as Trey of Triforia, he splits into three selves on Earth due to his injuries. After passing his powers to former Red Ranger Jason Lee (see 1994), Trey leaves the Rangers with the lost Super Zeo Gems, reactivating the ancient Super Zeozords (see 400-995 CE).
Having returned with plans to overthrow the Machine Empire, Rita and Zedd (see 1996) rescue Rito and Goldar (see 1996).
When King Mondo is destroyed while using the Damocles Sword (see 400-995 CE), Rita and Zedd's robot Louie Kaboom infiltrates the Machine Empire but breaks ties with his former masters. Louie releases Auric the Conqueror (see 1986-87), at which point Tanya rescues her parents from Mysterio Island (see 1986-87). Louie is ultimately destroyed through the efforts of new arrivals Gasket and Archerina (see 1000-1600 CE).
In a plot to drain powers from planets' strongest warriors, Gasket abducts Tommy, but the Rangers free him with the unwitting help of fellow captives Bulk and Skull, who become legendary among the people of the planet Horath.
During an invasion on Angel Grove, the Machine Empire acquires data on the Zeo technologies, after which a rebuilt King Mondo uses the Cog Changer robot to control the Rangers' equipment. The Aquitian Rangers (see 1996) aid the Rangers against Cog Changer and Rita's monster.
Billy, meanwhile, experiences hyper-aging due to his age-restoring invention (see 1996) and journeys to Aquitar for treatment at the Eternal Falls, which may grant him eternal youth. He ultimately chooses to remain on Aquitar with Cestria (see 1996), where he likely also assists the Aquitian Rangers.
Defeated by the Rangers, Gasket and Archerina retreat from Mondo's wrath. Meanwhile, Tommy and Kat begin dating (see 2045-55).
As Jason's human body proves unable to retain the Golden powers, Trey is restored and again becomes Gold Ranger. Mondo is bested in combat with the Zeo Rangers, after which Rita and Zedd destroy Mondo and his family with a hidden bomb (see 1998). As the couple returns to their moon palace (see 1996), Serpentera (see 1996) is buried on the moon at some point (see 2002).
Again a civilian, Jason may leave Angel Grove (see below).

summer 1997
With the Machine Empire destroyed and Rita and Zedd apparently retired (see above), Earth enjoys a brief calm. During this time, the Power Chamber is remodeled, and Tommy takes an interest in stock car racing.
While the teens train for a charity tournament, Rocky is injured. Former Rangers Jason and Kimberly plan to surprise the teens but first go scuba diving near Angel Grove.
Meanwhile, Divatox (see 1880-1900) pursues Lerigot of Liaria (see 1600-1700) to Earth, seeking to free Maligore (see 1600-1700). She captures Jason and Kimberly as sacrifices.
Equipped with Turbo Keys (see 1600-1700) and new Turbo technology, the Rangers race to stop Divatox and rescue Jason and Kimberly, Rocky sends Justin (see 1996) in his place as the Blue Turbo Ranger.
Regrouping on Liaria after Maligore's destruction, Divatox soon returns with a new army of Piranhatron foot soldiers (see 1996).
Justin is later confirmed as a permanent Ranger as the recuperated Rocky opts to run a karate school. The teens graduate high school as the class of 1997.
Ernie, meanwhile, has sold his Juice Bar (see 1993) to Lt. Stone (see 1995) upon being recalled to his foreign service unit in the Amazon. Bulk and Skull are turned into chimps by Divatox's adoptive nephew Elgar.
Zordon is freed in spectral form from his time warp (see 8,000 BCE) by Lerigot and returns to his home planet, Eltar, with Alpha Five. Dimitria, secretly Divatox's sister (see 1,000 CE), takes Zordon's place in the Power Chamber, assisted by Alpha Six.
Skipping several grades, Justin attends summer classes at Angel Grove High and soon celebrates his twelvth birthday. During the celebration, his father (see 1996) visits briefly.

Blue Senturion of the Intergalactic Police arrives from an alternate future ruled by an evil alliance (see 2000). Learning of the future, Divatox immediately attacks Angel Grove High students Carlos and Ashley (see 1980-81) for an unknown reason.
In a crater from Divatox's monster-enlarging torpedoes, Bulk and Skull (see above) turn invisible, then return to normal. They attempt a series of odd jobs through 1998.
T.J. Johnson and Cassie Chan (see 1980-81) move to the Angel Grove area and come to Tommy and Kat's rescue. Carlos and Ashley, meanwhile, help the Turbo Rangers downtown. When the four older Rangers then retire, they choose T.J., Cassie, Carlos, and Ashley as their replacements.

The new Ranger teens soon begin their junior year at Angel Grove High, while Blue Ranger Justin begins as a freshman.
Discovering a lost star map (see 1600-1700), Divatox releases the Turbo Vehicles Storm Blaster and Lightning Cruiser, which ally with the Turbo Rangers on Earth.
The Phantom Ranger, a non-Earthen cyborg with Eltarian powers, aids the Turbo Rangers. Pink Ranger Cassie is quickly smitten.
General Havoc (see 1880-1900) delivers the space base and Metallasaurus, resulting in the Turbo Megazord's hijacking. Phantom Ranger provides new Rescuezords which they use to defeat Havoc, and the Phantom soon departs. Havoc departs as well to begin a new Metallasaurus which he will apparently not complete (see 1998).
Built on Eltar, sentient android duplicates of the Turbo teens are tested on Earth before returning to Eltar (see 1998), where their fates are unknown.

1998
(after Blue Senturion's arrival in 1997)
The Turbo Rangers continue to defend Earth from Divatox (see 1997).
Using technology from the Turbozords (see 1997), Porto constructs a series of evil Zords which the Rangers ultimately destroy.
As Dark Specter's forces (see 1996) assault Eltar, the Rangers are occupied by the powerful Goldgoyle, whom they destroy at the expense of their Zords.
Dimitria and Blue Senturion (see 1997) depart for Eltar, but the planet soon falls with untold casualties, and Zordon (see 1997) is captured. Divatox is called away immediately after destroying the Power Chamber and capturing the Turbo Vehicles (see 1997).
On the Cimmerian planet, Dark Specter assembles Zordon's former foes, including Master Vile (see 1996), Rita and Zedd (see 1997), a rebuilt Mondo and Machina (see 1997), and General Havoc (see 1997), as well as his heiress Astronema (see 1997-98).
Spying on the conference, Andros (see 1996) learns of Dark Specter's plot to drain Zordon's powers, and he escapes pursued by Astronema, who is issued an orbital base known as the Dark Fortress.
Meanwhile, Alpha Six (see 1997) and four of the Earth Rangers commission the Astro Megashuttle from NASADA (see 1990) to pursue Divatox. Justin and his dad will later move away from Angel Grove.
The Earth Rangers encounter Andros aboard his Megaship (see 1996), and he reluctantly gives them Astro Morphers to join in the quest to rescue Zordon.
While Divatox secretly ferries Zordon between hideouts, Astronema repeatedly attacks Earth to distract the Rangers. NASADA is soon crippled, and the Rangers will later rescue an ill-fated NASADA probe (see 1990). Meanwhile, Bulk and Skull (see 1997) join the eccentric Professor Phenomenus in his semi-paranoid search for alien threats.
In time, the Phantom Ranger (see 1997) gives Andros a Battlizer and the Delta Megazord. Soon, Darkonda (see 1985-88) infiltrates Astronema's ranks for Dark Specter but will lose several of his nine lives in battles with the Rangers in coming months.
On the lawless planet Onyx, Darkonda obtains Eltarian keycards, but they are soon stolen by Andros, and the Rangers unlock Mega Vehicles hidden at some point on Jupiter's moon Ganymede.
When Storm Blaster (see above) escapes to Earth, it enlists Justin's help (see above) and provides him with a working Turbo Morpher. He and the Space Rangers rescue Lightning Cruiser, which may likewise hold a Turbo Morpher for former Red Turbo Ranger (now Blue Space Ranger) T.J. (see 2002).
The teens celebrate Ashley's seventeenth birthday.
Zhane awakens from cryogenic suspension (see 1996) following an attack on the Megaship. Recharging his powers with a lightning bolt on Earth, Zhane is briefly smitten with Astronema but soon takes up residence with the Rebels (see 1996). They will reclaim KO-35 within the coming months.
Former Black Ranger Adam Park (see 1997) mentors Black Ranger Carlos after he accidentally injures Cassie. At great personal risk, Adam morphs briefly with his charred Power Coin and Morpher (see 1995) to help Carlos in battle.
Upon learning of her past (see 1985-88) Astronema defects to the Rangers' side but is brainwashed by Darkonda with cyborg implants which he uses on Ecliptor as well. Zhane, meanwhile, rejoins the Space Rangers with the new Mega Winger Zord of Rebel origin.
Astronema unleashes the Psycho Rangers to both destroy the Rangers and drain Dark Specter's powers. The Psychos are eventually destroyed and later digitized onto data cards which will somehow appear on an alien black market by 1999.
Later, Ecliptor destroys the Delta Megazord and Ganymede base, while the cybernetic Tankenstein monster destroys the Mega Voyager.
Dark Specter's legions soon wage a massive war on the cosmos: Gold Ranger (see 1997), Blue Senturion (see above), Phantom Ranger (see above), and the Aquitian Rangers (see 1997) are all overpowered on various worlds. Earth momentarily stands as the last bastion of resistance, as witnessed in Angel Grove by Leo Corbett (see 1999).
On his ninth life, Darkonda turns a doomsday weapon on Dark Specter, mutually destroying them both. Astronema assumes command of Dark Specter's empire.
Finding Zordon aboard the Dark Fortress, Andros obligingly shatters his energy tube, unleashing an energy wave which obliterates Astronema's armadas, including Mondo and Machina, Ecliptor, and General Havoc. Rita, Zedd, and Divatox are purified into human forms with fates unknown. Mortally wounded in combat with Andros, Astronema is reborn as Karone.
Theiridentities revealed, the Space Rangers leave their Morphers and Megaship under Alpha's care (see 1999). Zhane may return to KO-35, while Karone will reappear in 1999.

1999
(after Blue Senturion's arrival in 1997)
Terra Venture, a titanic space colony run by the Galactic Space Alliance (GSA), prepares seek out a New World. Aboard are Alpha Six and the Astro Megaship (see 1998), officers Mike Corbett (see 1977-80), Kai Chen (see 1980-81), and Kendrix Morgan (see 1980-81), as well as technician Damon Henderson (see 1980-81) and stowaway Leo Corbett (see 1998). Skull is accidentally left behind as Bulk and Professor Phenomenus (see 1998) board the colony.
Far away, Scorpius (see 1,000 BCE) attacks Mirinoi seeking the Quasar Sabers (see 1,000 BCE). Maya (see 1980-81) crosses a portal to the moon and recruits Mike, Kendrix, and Leo, who are followed by Kai and Damon in the Megaship.
All but Leo unleash the Quasar Sabers on Mirinoi, but Mike passes his saber to Leo before falling into a crevice. The Galaxy Rangers flee as Mirinoi is turned to stone. The Magna Defender (see 1,000 BCE), meanwhile, has absorbed Mike's life energy and escaped as well.
Pursuing the Rangers, Scorpius begins attacking Terra Venture. Soon, the Rangers free the captured Galactabeasts (see 1,000 BCE) from Scorpius's forces and later transform the creatures into Galactazords with Transdaggers found by an evil weapons dealer.
Seeking revenge for the death of his son Zika (see 1,000 BCE), the Magna Defender endangers innocents aboard Terra Venture while seeking the Lights of Orion (see 1,000 BCE), which have somehow been embedded in the colony's soil from Earth. The Lights are later bestowed on the Galaxy Rangers, and Magna Defender gives his life to save Terra Venture. Mike is freed and receives the Magna Defender powers.
Scorpius's humanoid daughter Trakeena, wanting to escape her insectoid fate, flees to Onyx (see 1998), where she trains with the noble warrior Villamax. During this time, Terra Venture encounters a dead alien vessel carrying the stolen Galaxy Book (see 1000-1600 CE).
Scheming for power, Deviot (see 1,000 BCE) presents Scorpius with his three reconstructed Galactabeasts (see 1,000 BCE), which include the Centaurus and Stratoforce Megazords, but the Zords ally with the Galaxy Rangers. Deviot then lures Scorpius into a fatal encounter with the Rangers, at which point Trakeena returns to inherit her father's powers. She swears vengeance against Red Ranger Leo.
The ancient warrior Loyax (see 1000-1600 CE) is manipulated into battling the Rangers and is later killed by Deviot.
Deviot soon resurrects the Psycho Rangers (see 1998) from data cards apparently lost in 1998. Having been searching for the cards, Red Space Ranger Andros (see 1998) reclaims his Morpher from aboard the Megaship to help the Galaxy Rangers. The other four Space Rangers (see 1998) soon respond to Alpha Six's distress signal and reclaim their powers as well. The Megashuttle (see 1998) will be present during this time to once again form the Astro Megazord.
Although four of the Psycho Rangers are destroyed, the surviving Psycho Pink lures Pink Rangers Cassie and Kendrix to planet Rashon, where Kendrix is apparently destroyed saving Cassie. The pink Quasar Saber flies to the planet Gwinnet for an unknown reason and is later sold in an auction on Onyx.
The Space Rangers return to Earth with their Astro Morphers for an unspecified mission. Andros will soon begin tracking General Venjix, leader of the remaining Machine Empire forces (see 2002). The other Space Rangers may be retired by 2002.
Karone (see 1998), now age 17-19, tracks the lost Quasar Saber to Onyx while disguised as Astronema. She is soon chosen by Kendrix's spirit to become the Pink Galaxy Ranger.
When the Galaxy Rangers' powers are stolen, Karone returns to a world previously attacked by Astronema (see 1997) and revives the defeated stone warrior. Leo receives the warrior's armor keys to become the Red Armored Power Ranger, similar to other Rangers' "Battlized" forms.
In time, the Guardian (see 1000-1600 CE) arrives on Terra Venture seeking the Galaxy Book, but Deviot slays the Guardian and recites the Keonta spell to gain a more powerful form. When Deviot is defeated, the book's energy casts Terra Venture into the Lost Galaxy. There, Deviot is forced to ally with the space pirate Captain Mutiny.
The Galaxy Rangers ultimately free Captain Mutiny's slaves, spacefaring humans previously marooned in the Lost Galaxy. As the Keonta spell is reversed, Mike sacrifices the Torozord and his powers to allow the colony safe passage out of the Lost Galaxy. Mutiny gives chase but is destroyed by Trakeena, who then accidentally fuses with Deviot during a struggle aboard her ship.
Terra Venture is promptly crippled by a mad Trakeena near Mirinoi and crashes on the planet's moon. As the colonists evacuate to the planet below, Villamax dies defending innocents from Trakeena. The Rangers self-destruct the Megaship, disfiguring Trakeena as her ship crashes to the moon's surface. She mutates into a green form and attempts to crash Terra Venture's city dome into the colonists' camp on Mirinoi, but the Rangers avert disaster and seemingly destroy Trakeena (see 2000).
The Rangers then return the Quasar Sabers to their resting place on Mirinoi, and both the planet and Kendrix are revived. The Rangers, Alpha, and the colonists take up residence among the Mirinoites (see 2000). The former Lost Galaxy captives are presumably returned to their homeworlds, as is Bulk, who will reside on Earth in 2002.

In 2000, an image is recorded of the force deemed capable of saving the universe, an image which may include Carlos and Ashley (see 1997).

2000
In the Middle East, desert nomads release Bansheera's demons from the Tomb of Forever (see 3,000 BCE). The demons attack Mariner Bay, where Bill Mitchell (see 1985-86), now captain of a secret government organization known as Lightspeed, has prepared for their return in an underwater Aquabase with the help of the brilliant Angela Fairweather (see 1970-74). Mitchell recruits firefighter Carter Grayson (see 1986-90), stunt pilot Joel Rawlings, aquatics expert Chad Lee, and extreme athlete Kelsey Winslow as Lightspeed Rangers, with his daughter and Lightspeed paramedic Dana completing the team.
Later, Mitchell's superior, General McKnight, briefly replaces the Rangers with Cyborg Rangers until they go haywire. The specifics of McKnight's alternate Lightspeed branch are unknown, although it may later be involved in the construction of the Lifeforce Megazord (see below).
On the twentieth birthday of Mitchell's lost son Ryan (see 1985-86), Diabolico dispatches Ryan, whose previous whereabouts are unknown, to steal the experimental Titanium Morpher from the Aquabase, its powers considered too great for an ordinary human. As the Titanium Ranger, Ryan eventually allies with the Rangers. He conquers a cursed tattoo given to him by Diabolico and helps to destroy the angel-warriors Falkar, Demonite, and Thunderon.
Diabolico is soon destroyed in battle, and Bansheera's dragon son Impus inherits Diabolico's Star Power to become Olympius.
Queen Bansheera is partially resurrected (see 3,000 BCE) during the Grand Cross planetary alignment (see 1,000 BCE). Ryan then departs seeking a way to banish the demons.
Trakeena (see 1999), hiding in Mariner Bay, competes with Olympius for life energy stolen from civilians. The Galaxy Rangers (see 1999), including Kendrix, use the Quasar Sabers once more to chase the demon Triskull from Mirinoi to Earth and help the Lightspeed Rangers destroy Trakeena after she is mutated by Olympius.

Generals Vypra and Loki resurrect Diabolico from the Tomb of Forever after being betrayed by Olympius.
Angela's brother Clark (see 1970-74) helps build Mega Battle armor for the Blue and Green Lightspeed Rangers.
Blue Ranger Chad meets a mermaid named Marina. He will later come to her aid when a demon steals the magical trident of her father, King Neptune. Chad remains eager to spend time in the ocean with Marina, but her obligations to inherit Neptune's throne likely preclude a further relationship.
Having found a mystic tome, Ryan seeks an ancient wizard known as the Sorcerer of the Sands who may have lived during Bansheera's reign on Earth (see 3,000 BCE). Olympius, meanwhile, is trapped in the hellish Shadow World during a plot to trap the Rangers, and the Sorcerer of the Sands and Ryan's tome are destroyed by Diabolico, who retains the golden key to the Shadow World (see 3,000 BCE).
Olympius escapes the Shadow World but is crippled in battle with the Lightspeed Rangers. He will slowly recover in the woods near Mariner Bay in the coming weeks.
Pink Ranger Dana has a brief career as Glitz Magazine supermodel.
Bansheera absorbs Vypra in order to complete her transformation into a monstrous physical form. Betrayed by Bansheera, Loki is destroyed in battle, as are Olympius and Diabolico when the Rangers debut the Lifeforce Megazord, a new Megazord powered by the Rangers' life energies.
Bansheera then destroys the Aquabase and seeks to unleash all the monsters from the Shadow World using the Rangers' hijacked Zords to complete the ceremony. She is ultimately sealed in the Shadow World by the Lightspeed Rangers with help of Diabolico's spirit and the golden key.
The Lightspeed Rangers leave their Morphers in the care of Captain Mitchell and continue to watch over Mariner Bay. Angela begins dating Green Ranger Joel (see 2001. Dana, meanwhile, becomes a pediatric doctor by 2001.

Wes Collins (see center panel) possibly attends Harvard. He may ultimately replace Mr. Collins as head of BioLab.
As Silver Hills isn't attacked (see center panel), the Raimei Explorer isn't publicly activated, and the Silver Guardians are probably not founded.
The Quantum Controller (see 150 million BCE) is probably discovered but is likely not stolen by Eric (see center panel).

2001
(after Ransik's arrival)
The mutant leader Ransik arrives with a prison full of frozen mutant criminals from the year 3000. He is pursued through time by four Time Force officers, aged 18-20. The officers recruit Wes Collins (see 1999-2000) to unlock their Chrono Morphers, as his DNA matches their future leader Alex (see 3000). The Time Force Rangers are aided by the Time Flyer Zords repeatedly called from the future by their robot owl assistant Circuit. Pink Ranger Jen is reluctant to accept Wes but ultimately allows him to remain on the team.
Wes clashes with his industrialist father (see 1981) and soon moves into an abandoned clock tower (see 1760-1800) with his teammates. As a source of income, they take up the Nick of Time Odd Jobs business run some time ago from the clock tower before possibly being bought out by Mr. Collins.
Ransik's robot assistant Frax (see 30th century) synthesizes Trizirium crystals (see 2100), an advanced power source not yet invented in 2001, to power his robot Tronicon. Mr. Collins' company BioLab converts the Raimei Explorer (see 1981) into the Raimei Destroyer battletank. When the Raimei is destroyed, the Rangers receive the Time Shadow jet Zord from the future.
At this point, Frax discovers the prison ship's hidden X-Vault (see 3000) and unleashes powerful mutant criminals in the coming months. He meanwhile grows increasingly bitter of Ransik's hostile attitude toward robots.
Mr. Collins founds the Silver Guardians mercenary squad to defend Silver Hills for profit. Among the roster is Wes's former classmate Eric Myers (see 1999-2000). Wes's identity is discovered by Mr. Collins and the Silver Guardians during a battle.
Soon, the long-lost Quantum Controller Box (see 150 million BCE) is discovered in an archaelogical dig and soon stolen by Eric in an effort to prove himself. The Controller yields the Quantum Morpher, and Eric becomes the Quantum Ranger.
Recalling the lost Quantasaurus Rex Zord (see 30th century), Ransik sends the mutant Commandocon into prehistory, with Wes and Eric in pursuit. The retrieved Q-Rex is tamed by Eric in downtown Silver Hills, and Eric is promoted to captain of the Silver Guardians. Also during this time, BioLab begins researching the Quantum Ranger technology.

early-mid 2001
(1 year before Cole joins Wild Force Rangers)
Master Org (Viktor Adler, see 1982) presumably breaks the magical seal on the Nexus (see 1,000 BCE), which has weakened due to modern-day pollution. As the Org spirits begin to escape, the Wildzords and Princess Shayla awaken aboard the Animarium (see 1,000 BCE). Also around this time, Adler has obtained a sophisticated prosthetic horn which will facilitate his dominion over the naturally horned Org forces.
Air Force pilot Taylor Earheardt (see 1986-89), age 19-21, is forced to land on the Animarium, where her animal crystal (see 1986-89) activates as she is chosen to become the Yellow Wild Force Ranger.
Fighting solo, Taylor is unable to defeat her first foe, Motorcycle Org, and the monster is ultimately imprisoned by Shayla's magic (see 2002). Taylor will fight subsequent Orgs in Turtle Cove, during which time she also teaches Shayla about the modern world and writes a Wild Force Ranger rulebook (see 2002).

2001
(approx.)
College students Tommy Oliver (see 1997) and Terrence "Smitty" Smith, both approximately age 21-23, accompany the wealthy scientist Anton Mercer on a dig. To Smitty's dismay, Tommy is selected as Mercer's partner.
Together, Mercer and Tommy research dinosaur cybernetics at his island facility near Reefside, California. Their projects include Tyrannodrones (reptilian foot soldiers), Biozords (robot dinosaurs with organic nervous systems), Raptor Riders (raptors used for transportation), and Fossilodor (a mind-controlling fossil creature). The Fossilodor project is deemed too dangerous and abandoned, its main "support bone" held by Tommy for safekeeping (see 2003).
At some point, Tommy has found the ancient Dino Gems (see 65 million BCE) and keeps them hidden. He later recruits his college friend Hayley (see 1997) to built Dino Morphers (see 2003) to tap the gems' power in case of an emergency. This technology will be kept in a secret lair beneath Tommy's house in Reefside (see 2003).
In an effort to benefit mankind, Mercer experiments on himself and unwittingly transforms into Mesogog, an evil reptilian bent on restoring the reign of the dinosaurs using the Dino Gems. The Tyrannodrones are modified into his evil soldiers.
As Mercer is declared missing, Mesogog destroys his island facility. Tommy escapes as various projects are scattered.
Meanwhile, Smitty is crippled in an explosion while performing research for another company. He is found by Mesogog and rebuilt into the cyborg general Zeltrax (see 2003).
Mercer later returns to Reefside in semi-secrecy. On an archaeological dig with the parents of 14-to-16-year-old Trent Fernandez (see 2003), Mercer is the sole survivor as the Fernandez couple perishes in a cave-in. Mercer then adopts Trent as his son and future heir (see 2003).

(after Ransik's arrival, cont'd)
Jen begins to trust Wes. Also during this time, Eric discovers that the Time Force Rangers are from the future but refrains from telling Mr. Collins.
Blue Ranger Lucas is confronted by his old friend and rival Dash (see 30th century), in whose trial Lucas testified. Dash eventually surrenders and continues serving his sentence.
As Jen defeats her treacherous former partner Steelix (see 30th century), Alex, watching from the year 3000, begins to note an unacceptable shift in history, likely due to Frax's impending actions below.
Revealing his origin as a human scientist betrayed by Ransik (see 30th century), Frax destroys Ransik's supply of a special serum and unleashes the mutant Venomark who previously stung him (see 30th century). BioLab synthesizes the anachronistic serum to save the city, at which point Ransik mortally injures Mr. Collins in a raid to steal more serum.
In hiding in Silver Hills, Frax soon completes the giant Dragontron robot.

(after Ransik's arrival, cont'd; after Alex's visit to 2001)
Alex arrives from 3000 and takes Wes's place as Red Ranger after telling of his fate to replace Mr. Collins at BioLab (see injury above).
Led by Alex, the Rangers unsuccessfully battle Dragontron. In a second battle, Frax uses an energy siphon on the Rangers' Zords. Wes eventually rejects his destiny and reclaims his Chrono Morpher from Alex, leading the Rangers to victory over Dragontron. Changing the future, Alex then revives the dying Mr. Collins with a futuristic orb before returning to 3000.
An evil black knight, having previously stolen a box containing the Battle Fire from a white knight, searches Silver Hills for a pure-hearted person to open the box. Wes obtains the Battle Warrior armor and destroys both the knight and his dragon.
Vypra emerges from the Shadow World (see 2000) with demon warriors and recruits Ransik's help to steal the Solar Amulet and release the super-demon Quarganon. Red Lightspeed Ranger Carter (see 2000) joins forces with the Time Force Rangers and summons the remaining Lightspeed Rangers. Pink Ranger Dana is now a pediatrician. Green Ranger Joel and his new wife Angela are forced to put their honeymoon on hold. Vypra and Quarganon are soon destroyed.
Later, Circuit accesses 3000's history banks and sees a vision of Silver Hills ravaged by time holes in the near future, but his access is then cut off by Alex.
At BioLab, Dr. Zaskin learns to synthesize Trizirium crystals (see above), but Wes reveals the Time Force Rangers' future origin to his father and convinces Mr. Collins to abandon the anachronistic research (see 2100).

Distracted during the hunt for Frax, Nadira is pressured by Green Ranger Trip to help deliver a human child, at which point she begins to doubt Ransik's philosophy of hatred.
Reprogrammed by Ransik, Frax pilots the super-robot Doomtron, and the Trizirium crystals powering Doomtron and the Q-Rex threaten Silver Hills by opening time holes in the sky.
To save their lives, Wes tricks his teammates into returning to 3000 in the Timeship. As Wes and Eric defend the city alone, Ransik destroys the clock tower. Injured protecting Mr. Collins, Eric passes his Quantum powers to Wes.

2001
At some point prior, Space Patrol Delta (SPD) has been founded on the planet Sirius. Other branches are established across the Milky Way, with Galaxy Command established somewhere other than Earth or Sirius. SPD Earth will be established circa 2001 and by 2025 will be based in Newtech City, a city founded at an unknown point. By 2020, Earth will begin opening its doors to extraterrestrial immigrants.
Also prior to 2020, Anubis "Doggie" Cruger trains with a powerful Shadow Saber at an SPD academy, presumably on Sirius. His rival Ichthyor, wielding an Ocean Saber, attacks Doggie in order to claim his mate Isinia (see 2020). Ichthyor is expelled from the academy but will return seeking revenge in 2025.
SPD Earth's science division, led by the alien scientist Kat Manx (see 1877-78), secretly begins developing Ranger technology. Exposed to cellular enhancers, the humans in Kat's team experience accidental genetic modification and will later conceive metahuman children (see 2004, 2004-05, 2005-06, 2007, 2007-08), 2014-15).

2002
Danny Delgado (see 1982-84), a 17-to-20-year-old florist in Turtle Cove, is chosen as the Black Wild Force Ranger. Blue Ranger Max (see 2001) soon helps Danny conquer his fear of heights and introduces the "never give up!" mantra while the Rangers are pursuing Turbine Org. Max and Danny become best friends.
Two months later, the four Rangers struggle against the growing Org menace as Turbine Org is joined by Plug Org. Jindrax and Toxica (see 1,000 BCE) abandon their human disguises as animal laboratory assistants to return to the Nexus (see 2001). Having previously left the Amazon in search of his parents, Cole Evans (see 1982), age 19-20, completes the Wild Force team as the Red Ranger.
Jindrax and Toxica, meanwhile, serve Master Org (see 1982) in the Nexus. Privately suspicious of Master Org, Toxica eventually notices his Org horn to be prosthetic (see 2001).
The Rangers discover the lost Elephant, Giraffe, Black Bear, and Polar Bear Wildzords (see 1,000 BCE). When Red Lion is injured combining with the bears, Cole obtains the Gorilla Zord and the egg of the mystical Soul Bird Wildzord. The egg soon hatches and aids the Rangers in defeating Master Org's original bodyguard, Retinax (see 1,000 BCE), after which Adler finishes off the general to protect his human identity.
Master Org revives General Nayzor, who in turn frees Merrick (in the form of Zen-Aku) from his ancient tomb (see 1,000 BCE). Zen-Aku repeatedly trounces the Rangers and steals several Wildzords. He also frees Yellow Ranger Taylor's old foe Motorcycle Org (see 2001) and briefly kidnaps Princess Shayla (see 2001).
Seeing visions of Animus (see 1,000 BCE), Zen-Aku struggles with his identity. Merrick is ultimately freed from Zen-Aku's hold with the help of Animus and the Rhino and Armadillo Zords. Merrick becomes the Lunar Wolf Ranger, destroys Nayzor, and begins living at Willie's Roadhouse after returning the Rangers' stolen animal crystals. Toxica, meanwhile, recovers Nayzor's crown and briefly turns into Necronomica.
As Cole learns of his parents' presumed deaths (see 1982), Jindrax and Toxica discover Master Org's human identity but are promptly turned into monstrous slaves.
Max briefly trains with his former bowling mentor Don (see 2001).
Finding his human identity's tombstone, Master Org summons past Org spirits to form Tombstone Org. The Deerzord, resentful of millennia of solitude (see 1,000 BCE), eventually helps the Rangers after being treated to a song by Merrick and Shayla.
Injured by a resurrected Super Nayzor, the four unconscious Rangers solve Animus's puzzle in a dream world, granting Cole the Falcon Summoner and Falcon Zord. Jindrax and Toxica, defeated by Cole's new Animarium Armor, return to normal and begin to scheme against Master Org once more.

The Silver Guardians now appear to be a police task force.
As the Wild Force Rangers help Wes and Eric against the Mut-Orgs, Eric and Taylor meet again. Wes and Jen are later reunited (see 2001).
The three remaining Time Force Rangers soon arrive from 3001 to stop the Mut-Orgs. They are joined by the reformed Ransik and Nadira (see 2001). Ransik's mutant DNA is cleansed in battle, and the Mut-Orgs are ultimately destroyed. All presumably return to the future.

Now devoid of generals, Dr. Adler lures in the Wild Force Rangers by publicly returning to Turtle Cove (see 1982). Learning the truth of his parents' murder, Cole defeats Master Org. Meanwhile, Jindrax and Toxica free the Org general Mandilok (see 1,000 BCE), who later hurls Dr. Adler off a cliff. Perishing below, Adler is reborn as a true Master Org.
Zen-Aku returns, no longer requiring a host, but is apparently destroyed by the Rangers.
Cole befriends Kite, a boy who is secretly the reincarnation of Animus (see 1,000 BCE). When the ancient warriors' shrine (see 1,000 BCE) is disturbed by a construction project, the Rangers appease the spirits within and move the shrine away from the city. Animus later aids the Rangers personally when Flute Org blocks their calls to their Wildzords.
Jindrax reunites with his brother Juggelo as "Team Carnival." Jindrax barely avoids destruction as his brother perishes in battle.
Appalled by humans' pollution, Kite reveals his identity and tests the Rangers by taking their Zords. The Rangers pass his test by continuing to fight for the Earth, after which Cole receives the Wild Force Rider.
By this point, Bulk and Skull have reunited (see 1999) and mutually run a resort in Angel Grove known as "Bulkmeier's."
Various Machine Empire generals (Tezzla, Gerrok, Steelon, and Automon) led by General Venjix dig up Serpentera on the moon (see 1997), intending to avenge King Mondo's destruction (see 1997). Red Space Ranger Andros (see 1999), assisted by Alpha Seven aboard the newly constructed Megaship Mark II, reports the situation to Tommy (see 2001), who is vacationing at Bulkmeier's. Equipped with his old Zeonizer (see 1997), Tommy gathers Red Rangers Jason (see 1997), T.J. (see 1999), Andros, Carter (see 2001), and Cole (also see below for Wes and Eric) to NASADA for an emergency mission. The origin of Jason's working Power Coin, last seen burnt out in Rocky's possession in 1995, is unknown but may involve Hayley (see 2001). T.J.'s powers likely originate from Lightning Cruiser (see 1998).
By this time, the remaining Space Rangers may have retired on Earth.

Tommy's Red Ranger brigade (see above) is joined on the moon by Red Galaxy Ranger Leo from Mirinoi (see 2000) and Red Aquitian Ranger Aurico from Aquitar (see 1998). Venjix and his fellow generals are destroyed, and Serpentera is destroyed by Cole's Wild Force Rider (see above). Tommy will soon return to Reefside (see 2003), apparently no longer possessing his Zeonizer.
Master Org's ninja assassin Onikage tricks Toxica into cutting off her horn to kidnap Princess Shayla. Dying, Toxica is destroyed by the Wild Force Rangers' Jungle Blaster when Mandilok uses her as a human shield. Master Org then destroys Mandilok, and the Rangers destroy Onikage with the Pegasus Megazord, formed with remote assistance from Princess Shayla. Jindrax then uses the Jungle Blaster's energy to retrieve Toxica from the Spirit World.
Master Org resurrects Retinax, Nayzor, and Mandilok to guard the Nexus as he summons and ingests the Org Heart (see 1,000 BCE) using energy from Shayla's necklace (see 1,000 BCE). Jindrax and Toxica free Shayla as the Nexus crumbles and the generals are destroyed. They then depart to travel the world in peace.
Soon, a super-powered Master Org attacks the city wielding his generals' powerful Nexus Blade (see 1,000 BCE). Animus and the Wildzords are destroyed, and the Rangers' powers are lost. The Animarium crashes in Turtle Cove. As the ex-Rangers continue fighting, they are soon joined by nearly a hundred Wildzord spirits, whose combined energies restore the Rangers' powers and destroy Master Org.
As Shayla returns to the sky with the Wildzords and the Rangers' Growl Phone Morphers, the ex-Rangers part ways: Cole helps animals, Taylor returns to the Air Force, Danny and Max travel the world, Alyssa teaches kindergarten, and Merrick journeys with the spirit of Zen-Aku, who has returned seeking redemption.

2003
Now age 17-18, Blake Bradley (see 2000) receives the Thunder Blade from Sensei Omino at the Thunder Ninja Academy. Soon, Lothor (see 1996-97) attacks the academy in a plan to destroy all of Earth's mystical ninja schools. His alien forces include his villanious nieces Marah and Kapri and the armored general Zurgane. During the struggle, Sensei Omino gives Thunder Morphers to Blake and his brother Hunter, but Lothor captures the sensei and students and brainwashes the brothers into believing their parents were killed by Sensei Watanabe (see below).
Lothor eventually attacks the Wind Ninja Academy (see 2002), the last remaining ninja school. During the battle, Sensei Watanabe (see 1975-82) is transformed into a guinea pig during battle, and the academy's students are captured. Retreating to the underground Ninja Ops, the Sensei and his son Cam (see 1983-85) give Wind Morphers to late arrivals Shane, Tori, and Dustin (see 2002), as foretold in the Scroll of Destiny (see 1975-82). The Wind Rangers are supplied with Ninjazords of unknown origin.
Lothor soon unleashes Thunder Rangers Blake and Hunter, who have been armed with insectoid Thunderzords of unknown origin. The brothers seek to destroy Sensei Watanabe with the powerful Gem of Souls from the Mountain of Lost Ninjas. There, they learn the truth of their parents' deaths (see 1996-97). The Gem of Souls is scattered in the ocean, but Hunter secretly keeps two fragments (see below). In time, the Thunder Rangers return to Blue Bay Harbor and join forces with the Wind Rangers.
When the Rangers' powers are temporarily stolen, Cam uses the Scroll of Time to meet his parents a quarter-century in the past. He returns with his mother's Samurai Amulet and becomes the Green Samurai Ranger, armed with the Samurai Star Zord. He soon invents his holographic double Cyber-Cam to help run Ninja Ops in his absence.
Yellow Ranger Dustin briefly becomes a worldwide celebrity after deterring a robbery at the Storm Chargers sports shop where he works as a civilian.
An inventor named Perry unwittingly turns into the cyborg Motodrone. The Rangers eventually free Perry, but Motodrone is rebuilt as Lothor's new general.
On Blue Ranger Tori's eighteenth birthday, the alien Skyla returns to Earth (see 1994-1996), pursued once again by the bounty hunter Vexacus. As her current female body dies prior to her next reincarnation, she passes her energies to her soulmate, Red Ranger Shane, who receives a powerful Battlized form. Stranded on Earth when Shane destroys his starship, Vexacus allies with his old acquaintance Lothor.
Motodrone seeks an ancient scroll unearthed by the Museum of Asian History but accidentally awakens the ancient warlord Shimazu (see 1000-1600 CE). Cam uses the Rangers' powers to retrieve the Lightning Riff Blaster from a mysterious "ancient world," activating the Mammothzord in downtown Blue Bay Harbor.
In time, Vexacus and Shimazu goad Zurgane into battling the Rangers in one of his many evil Zords. After his defeat, Zurgane is destroyed by Vexacus. During this time, Hunter's gem fragments are discovered and used by Cam to try to infiltrate Lothor's spaceship. Meanwhile, Vexacus destroys Motodrone before he can report Vexacus's schemes to Lothor.
Marah and Kapri then recruit Shimazu as they pilot a trio of evil Zords, but the sisters destroy Shimazu after their defeat. They finally prompt Vexacus to battle the Rangers, resulting in his destruction as well. As planned by Lothor and foretold in the Scroll of Destiny, the generals' spirits fill the Abyss of Evil (see 1975-82) to the bursting point. At this time, Lothor captures Cam and his Samurai Amulet during an assault on Ninja Ops which reverts Sensei Watanabe to his human form.
Leaving his ship to self-destruct, Lothor pilots an evil Zord against the Rangers while Blake and Hunter rescue the captive Cam, Marah, Kapri, and ninja students. The Ninjazords and Lothor's Zord are mutually destroyed. Lothor then uses the Samurai Amulet to open the Abyss of Evil and steal the Rangers' energies, but they use their ninja powers to seal him in the abyss.
The six teens soon graduate from a rebuilt Wind Ninja Academy, and the Wind Ranger training program is discontinued. While his teammates become instructors at their respective schools, Blake pursues a professional motocross career. Marah, Kapri, and Eric McKnight (see 1985-86) join the Wind Ninja Academy, although Eric will soon flunk out.

August-December 2003
Now age 24-25 and a doctor of paleontology, Tommy (see 2002) begins teaching science at Reefside High, while his ally Hayley (see 2001) runs a cyber-cafe which secretly contains a rock connected to the Morphing Grid (see 1996). Presumably monitoring Tommy, Mesogog (see 2001) sends Elsa (see 2002) to infiltrate Reefside High under the identity of Principal Randall. During this time, Tommy is apparently not involved with former Pink Ranger Kat Hillard (see 2045-55).
Tommy's students Conner McKnight, Kira Ford, and Ethan James, seniors at Reefside High, stumble upon Tommy's hidden lair and take the Dino Gems (see 2001). They are soon given Dino Morphers (see 2001) to become Dino Rangers. When Mesogog unleashes the Biozords (see 2001) and dispatches an assault craft to impersonate Lothor (see above), the Rangers tame the Biozords into Dinozords and then destroy the craft.
Soon, Tommy secretly tracks a black Dino Gem and has Hayley prepare the Brachio Morpher. Obtaining the gem, Mesogog captures Tommy to release its powers. The Dino teens, meanwhile, watch Tommy's video history of Earthen Rangers from 1993 through 2003 and meet Hayley. Tommy soon escapes with the gem and morphs into the Black Ranger, at which point Hayley detects and gathers the Brachiozord and Cephalazord.
Tommy is later shocked to encounter Anton Mercer (see 2001) alive in Reefside. The teens have since become friends with Mercer's adopted son Trent (see 2001). Also during this time, the Rangers obtain the Dimetrozord and Stegazord.
Elsa retrieves the white Dino Gem (see 2002). Trent, meanwhile, stumbles upon a portal to Mesogog's lair and accidentally bonds with the gem, becoming the evil White Ranger. After Tommy tames the Parasaurzord, White Ranger hatches the Dragozord, steals the Stegazord, and imprisons Tommy in amber. The Rangers also obtain the Ankylozord.
Turning progressively evil, Trent soon leaves in a self-imposed exile. Hayley, meanwhile, uses a meteorite's energy to free Tommy, but he is left unable to demorph from his Black Ranger form. Trent returns and steals more Zords. Mercer soon begins substituting for Tommy at Reefside High as he seeks a formula to overpower his Mesogog identity. On a field trip, Kira is briefly put under the spell of Fossilodor (see 2001).
Zeltrax (see 2001) reveals his former identity to Tommy in battle.
The teens watch an episode of Abaranger, a Japanese TV series based on the exploits of the Dino Rangers. (Note: In real life, Abaranger is the source of Power Rangers Dino Thunder's Japanese action footage.)
Beaten by Trent and demoted, Zeltrax stages a rampage by the White Ranger. Trent is captured by Mesogog but spared by Mercer's compassion. His Dino Gem purified, Trent escapes and promises not to reveal his father's identity. Zeltrax then creates an evil White Ranger duplicate, as well as the White Terrorsaurus. Tommy and Trent retrieve the ancient Shield of Triumph (see 1000-1600 CE) and upgrade Conner into the Triassic Ranger. As the Rangers activate Hayley's new Triassic Mega-Rover, Zeltrax is seemingly destroyed aboard his new assault craft.
After flirting anonymously online, Blue Ranger Ethan and school reporter Cassidy Cornell soon have a first date but decide to remain friends. During this time, Ethan accidentally frees Tutenhawken (see 2,000 BCE) by translating his curse. He defeats the pharaoh with his new Hovercraft Cycle.
Hayley finally uses a catalyzing slime to demorph Tommy, leaving him invisible. His Dino Gem breaks while she tries to restore him. In a coma, Tommy fights his former Green, White, and Red Ranger identities (see 1993, 1994, and 1996) while the Rangers fight a second Terrorsaurus. Victorious, Tommy returns from his coma, his Dino Gem restored. He promptly returns to Reefside High.
As Conner tries to impress a nature activist named Krista, Zeltrax trumps Mesogog by stealing sap from a tree growing over Life Force Spring. Powered up from the sap, Zeltrax is nonetheless defeated by Conner's new Battlized form. He will continue to lurk in Reefside as Mesogog plots against him (see 2004).
Trent and the evil White Ranger begin to weaken due to their dual drain on the Morphing Grid, and the evil White Ranger is ultimately destroyed.
Lothor (see above) emerges from the Abyss of Evil and turns the former Wind Rangers evil using their stolen Morphers. When the Wind Ninja Academy students are once again captured, Cam (see above) contacts Hunter and Blake (also see above), and the three retrieve their powers from the Abyss of Evil. Meanwhile, as the Wind Rangers battle the Dino Rangers, Marah and Kapri (see above) secretly free Lothor's captives. Together, the six Ninja Storm Rangers and five Dino Rangers destroy Lothor's forces who have escaped from the abyss, the battle depleting the remaining Ninja Storm powers. Lothor is sealed in a bottle following a showdown with Mesogog.

Emperor Gruumm's spacecraft arrives over Reefside from 2025 via a temporal wormhole. Followed by the SPD Rangers, Gruumm enlists Zeltrax to fight alongside his robot army. Together, the SPD and Dino Rangers destroy the army, but Zeltrax survives. After Grumm retreats through the closing wormhole, Commander Cruger wipes out all of the Rangers' recent memories, with the apparent exception of Tommy and future Omega Ranger Sam. The SPD Rangers then return to the future.

January-June 2004
Trent (see 2003) teams up with legendary comic book artist Carson Brady. They collaborate on a graphic novel eventually published with Mercer's funding.
When Elsa's identity as Principal Randall (see 2003) is discovered by Tommy, she flees after a schoolyard battle. The Dino teens soon discover Mercer's identity (see 2003) and feel betrayed by Trent's secrecy until he proves his loyalty.
Mesogog, meanwhile, successfully splits from Mercer's body and holds him captive. He then drains Elsa's powers to power a giant laser intended to turn humans into mutant dinosaurs. Cassidy's friend Devin catches the Rangers' identities on video to help Cassidy's news career (see 2003). Trent helps the Rangers storm Mesogog's island, and they use a mobile command center truck to destroy his lair as Trent escapes with Mercer.
At the same time, Zeltrax lays waste to Tommy's lab, kidnaps the now-human Elsa, and attacks in the Zelzord. The Rangers free Elsa and self-destruct the Dinozords to destroy the Zelzord.
Finally, Mesogog mutates into final, replicating form which the Rangers exhaust their powers to destroy. Cassidy gives the teens her video, and they all attend their senior prom at the end of the school year. Trent will later attend art school, while Tommy and Elsa remain employed at Reefside High.
The powerless Dino Gems (at least red, yellow, and blue) will somehow make their way to the planet Onyx (see 1999) by the year 2025. Also by that time, the Dino Rangers will have achieved legendary Ranger status.

2005
(speculative)
The former Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers are now 25-27 years old. Billy presumably still lives on Aquitar (see 1997), while others such as Jason, Rocky, and Adam (see 1997) may still live in Angel Grove. Zack and Trini's activities after the 1994 peace conference are unknown, as are Kimberly's after her gymnastics career (see 1996). Kat attended dance school in London in 1997 and may one day marry Tommy (see 2045-55). Tanya is likely still in the music industry (see 1996), while Aisha, theoretically now age 31-34 after time-traveling back to Kenya (see 1996, 1989-90), is probably still a veterinarian in Africa. Blue Turbo Ranger Justin Stewart (see 1998), now age 19-20, has probably completed his fourth year of college in spring 2005.
Rita and Zedd may have been escorted to an unknown world by Gold Ranger Trey after reverting to humans in 1998, while the purified Divatox was left in the hands of the Aquitian Rangers. Scorpina (see 1994), Master Vile (see 1998), Rito (see 1997), and Gasket and Archerina (see 1997) remain unaccounted for.
The Aquitian Rangers are presumed to continue to protect Aquitar and other worlds as needed. They are likely aided by Billy and Cestria (see 1997). Gold Ranger Trey and the Phantom Ranger presumably aid other planets as well (see 1998).
Red Space Ranger Andros, now 24-27, may still patrol space in the Megaship Mark II (see 2002), while the others, ages 23-25, may have returned to civilian lives on Earth (see 2002). Silver Ranger Zhane may live on KO-35 (see 1998). Their powers are all believed to be intact. After abandoning her Astronema identity and helping Terra Venture (see 1999), Karone's whereabouts are unknown. The other Galaxy Rangers and Mike (see 1999), as well as Alpha Six, presumably still watch over the Quasar Sabers on Mirinoi (see 2002).
In Mariner Bay, the Lightspeed Rangers, now aged 22-25, have pursued their own interests but stand ready to return to action when called by Red Ranger Carter (see 2001). Green Ranger Joel and Angela Rawlings, the 30-to-36-year-old Lightspeed inventor, are likely celebrating their fourth anniversary (see 2001). The activities of Ryan and Captain Mitchell are unknown, while Pink Ranger Dana is a pediatrician (see 2001).
In Silver Hills, Red Time Force Ranger Wes and Quantum Ranger Eric, age 21-23, continue to run the Silver Guardians task force (see 2002). They retain a viewscreen able to contact Time Force 999 years in the future in case of emergency. While Eric may keep his Quantum powers, the eventual fate of Wes's powers is uncertain (see 2009-2011).
As Princess Shayla retains the Wildzords and Growl Phones aboard the Animarium (see 2002), the retired Wild Force Rangers continue to pursue their own interests: Taylor (age 22-25) is an Air Force pilot or commander, Alyssa (age 21-23) teaches kindergarten, and Cole (age 23-25) somehow helps animals. Max and Danny's activities (ages 19-22 and 20-24, respectively) are unknown following their worldly travels. The duos of Merrick and Zen-Aku, and Jindrax and Toxica, also set out on journeys in 2002 and have not been seen since.
In Blue Bay Harbor, Cam (age 19-23), Sensei Watanabe, and the former Wind Rangers (ages 19-21) continue to teach at the Wind Ninja Academy, where Marah and Kapri presumably still attend (see 2003). Hunter, meanwhile, teaches at the Thunder Ninja Academy, while Blake is last known to have pursued a professional motocross career (see 2003). Lothor was captured by Mesogog and either freed or destroyed during the destruction of Mesogog's lair in 2004.
In what will become Newtech City by 2025, SPD's Earthen pioneers (see 2001) are continuing to start families, giving birth to metahuman children (see 2004, 2004-05, 2005-06, 2007, 2007-08, 2014-15) who will serve as SPD Rangers in 2025. SPD's Ranger program continues and will lead to Officer Tate's Red Ranger career circa 2009-2011. Emperor Gruumm's empire (see 2020), if it has even begun, is in its infancy.

PRSPD: "History"
|
early 2025
Earth is protected by the elite A-Squad Ranger force, apparent successors of Officer Tate's generation (see 2009-2011).
Kat Manx (see 2001) introduces new confinement card technology, helping SPD Earth to be at forefront of galactic SPD technology. SPD Earth is also aided by software designed by former Blue Dino Ranger Ethan James (see 2005).
Jack Landors and Elizabeth "Z" Delgado (see 2020; ages 19 and 17) are arrested for theft but join B-Squad (see 2023; ages 17-21). All five, the metahuman offspring of former SPD pioneers (see 2001), are promoted by Commander Cruger (see 2020) to active Ranger duty as backup for A-Squad. Blue Ranger Sky is initially upset not to be a Red Ranger like his father (see 2009-2011).
After breaking through the wormhole to Earth (see 2020) with the help of his alien informant Piggy, Emperor Gruumm lures A-Squad to the Helix Nebula, where they are ambushed and presumed destroyed but will later be allied with Gruumm. The B-Squad Rangers remain as Earth's only defense. Gruumm meanwhile begins or continues purchasing weapons from Broodwing (see 2024) to help him conquer this galaxy.
Gruumm acquires a large supply of diamonds, to be converted to Hellarium crystals for his future ultimate creation.
Green Ranger Bridge and weapons tester Boom (see 2020) upgrade the obsolete robot dog RIC (Robotic Interactive Canine), whose varied modes will repeatedly help the Rangers in combat.
Sam (see 2014-15), age 10-11, is briefly manipulated by Gruumm's child assistant Mora (see 2020) but soon moves into SPD's Delta Command Base with the Rangers (see 2040).
Blue Ranger Sky's old friend Dru (see 2022) returns and attempts to assassinate Commander Cruger for Broodwing (see 2024), but he is ultimately captured by Sky.
Gruumm's forces free Sinuku (see 2021-24), destroying KO-35's orbital prison. Sinuku kidnaps his old partner Dr. Rheas and recovers the Magnetons' activator but is recaptured by the SPD Rangers. The Rangers then celebrate Syd's birthday, probably her eighteenth. During this time, Syd's mother is apparently alive and is the only SPD pioneer (see 2001) whose whereabouts are known.
When Benaag (see 2001) arrives on Earth, Doggie uses a Morpher built by Kat to become the Shadow Ranger. He once again wields the Shadow Saber (see 2020) and captures Benaag. Piggy, meanwhile, wins a $10 million lottery and opens his own cafe which the Rangers will occasionally visit, repeatedly scaring away his underworld clientele. Gruumm begins speaking to an unseen "magnificence" (see below).
The centennial stone known as "the Evil" reawakens (see 25 CE) and is briefly stolen from its keeper Baskin before being returned by the Rangers. Baskin then moves to New Zealand.
Revealed as a cyborg in human disguise, D-Squad cadet Sophie is expelled from SPD but soon returns to help form the Delta Command Megazord. At this point, Gruumm transforms Mora back into her adult form, Morgana, as punishment for her failures.
Gruumm retrieves the alien samurai Katana from 1865 using a time portal, and the Rangers briefly intervene in Kyoto, Japan. Gruumm steals a supply of iridium later used in his ultimate creation.

The former Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers are now 45-47 years old and may have young adult children of their own. Aisha, now theoretically 51-54 (see 1996), may still live in Africa. If Tanya's singing career (see 1996) hasn't yet faded, she is likely well known after two decades in the music industry. Billy and Cestria may continue to aid the Aquitian Rangers (see 1997), with Billy perhaps as youthful as he was upon leaving Earth. The fates of the Gold Ranger and Phantom Ranger, meanwhile, are unknown in the context of Gruumm's vast conquests (see 2020).
Andros and Zhane (age 44-47), as well as Karone (age 43-46), may have returned to KO-35, which is now an SPD outpost (see left panel), while the other former Space Rangers may have returned to civilian lives on Earth (see 2002). The former Galaxy Rangers (ages 43-46) presumably continue to live on Mirinoi with Alpha Six (see 1999).
While the former Lightspeed Rangers of Mariner Bay (ages 42-45) have long since retired, former Red Ranger Carter may mentor a new team if one is needed. Former Green Ranger Joel and Angela Rawlings are perhaps celebrating their 24th anniversary (see 2001).
In Silver Hills, Wes and Eric, age 41-43, may continue to run the Silver Guardians (see 2002). Wes has likely taken over or sold BioLab after his father's retirement.
With the Animarium still presumed to float over Turtle Cove, the former Wild Force Rangers, ages 39-45, have been pursuing their own interests since 2002. Taylor has possibly become an Air Force captain or higher, while Alyssa may still be a teacher.
In Blue Bay Harbor, Cam and the former Wind Rangers, ages 39-43, may still teach at the Wind Ninja Academy (see 2003). Hunter may teach at the Thunder Ninja Academy, while Blake's activities beyond his motocross career (see 2003) are unknown.
Veteran Ranger Tommy Oliver, now age 45-47, has presumably been involved in a number of Ranger activities since his supposed retirement in 2004. His exploits in his various Ranger forms are now legendary. Whether he remains in Reefside is unknown. If he has married former sweetheart Kat Hillard (see 1997), they likely now have one or more young adult children (see 2045-55).

Katana returns to 1865 through a time portal (see center panel).
Birdy presumably dismisses Cruger temporarily (see center panel).
The Rangers presumably fare adequately well without Omega Ranger's minor help behind the scenes (see center panel).
On July 11, 2025, SPD Earth falls to the Troobians (presumably with the aid of Shorty and Devastation; see center panel), and Gruumm gains a long-standing foothold on the planet (see 2040). A native of this timeline, Sam (see 2040) is not known to have any knowledge of the evil A-Squad or Omni (see center panel, below).

mid-2025
(after Omega Ranger's arrival)
As Katana returns to 1865, Omega Ranger emerges from the same time portal, hailing from 2040. The voyage has somehow transformed his body into a sphere of light.
Visiting from SPD's Galaxy Command, Supreme Commander Fowler Birdy dismisses Commander Cruger until he saves the day as the Shadow Ranger. During this time, Omega Ranger monitors the Rangers, briefly helping in at least one battle with Gruumm's Krybots.
On July 11, 2025, Boom picks up a radio broadcast from a disastrous future (see 2040 and left panel), which has apparently not yet changed despite Omega's presence. The Rangers are soon overwhelmed in battle against Morgana and aliens named Shorty and Devastation but are ultimately victorious with Omega Ranger's aid. Omega then reveals that he is the future version of Sam. Meanwhile, child Sam's whereabouts are unresolved during this time (see 2040). Boom soon receives an elevator music broadcast from 2135, apparently confirming that the future has now changed.
Broodwing begins to grow resentful of Gruumm's demands for free robots and eventually plans to conquer Earth before him.
After accidentally freeing Mirloc from Gamma Orion (see 2009-2011), Sky learns that the alien was responsible for his father's death. He borrows Jack's Morpher and new Battlizer armor to apprehend Mirloc as the Red Ranger.
An unknown force dispatched by Gruumm, presumably the missing A-Squad (see below), decimates an installation on the planet Gamma 4.
On the planet Zentor, the Rangers visit Sergeant Silverback, who has previously trained at least one unidentified Ranger team for Cruger. B-Squad returns to Earth and acquires SWAT armor, technology which Piggy provides to both Gruumm and Broodwing.
Kat is invited by Birdy to work at Galaxy Command, but she returns to Earth with a one-hour Morpher to confront her old classmate Mooney as the Cat Ranger. The Morpher's origin is unknown but may be the result of Galaxy Command's attempts to replicate Kat's Ranger technology.

mid- to late-2025
(cont'd)
After purchasing the Dino Gems (see 2004) on Onyx (see 1999), Broodwing pays the alien scientist Professor Cerebros to summon former Dino Rangers Conner, Kira, and Ethan from the year 2005 to do his bidding, but they escape. After helping the SPD Rangers against Gruumm's armies, their Morphers and powers restored by Kat, the Dino teens are returned to their own time without memories of the event. Their Dino Gems vanish at the same time, their fates unknown.
Gruumm soon begins construction of his ultimate creation using materials stolen over the previous months.
Doggie's old rival Ichthyor returns seeking revenge (see 2001). Before confining him, Doggie learns that Isinia is still alive. Morgana, meanwhile, steals synthetic plasma to complete Gruumm's project and is granted her youth once more.
Accompanied by Mora, Gruumm travels back to 2004 through a wormhole, pursued by the SPD Rangers. All soon return as the wormhole closes. Gruumm then finalizes plans for the arrival of "the magnificence."
In Gruumm's ship, Mora stumbles upon Omni, a giant brain with plans of galactic domination for whom "the magnificence" is apparently being constructed, and is soon brainwashed.
Jack meets a girl named Ally. Broodwing obtains batteries for his ultimate plan. Gruumm plants the evil A-Squad (see above) on Gamma Orion (see Mirloc, above). Found by B-Squad, they infiltrate SPD Earth and capture Commander Cruger before being confined by the Rangers. Broodwing and his SWAT-equipped generals are confined as well. Cruger, meanwhile, discovers Isinia alive aboard Gruumm's ship.
When Gruum transforms his ship into "the magnificence," the Rangers ultimately destroy it with the SWAT Megazord. Mora and Gruumm are confined. Meanwhile, the Delta Base is defended by an assortment of alien SPD generals (including Silverback) and the Nova Ranger from 2040. Jack then retires to be with Ally.
After Sam and Nova return to the future, Sky is promoted to Red Ranger and Bridge to Blue, while Green (if any) remains undisclosed. The rank of A-Squad is retired as B-Squad becomes top rung at SPD Earth.

2025
Among the former Dino Rangers of Reefside, now ages 38-40, Kira is a well-known musician whose music has been long enjoyed by the SPD Rangers' generation (see above left panel). Conner has founded a national organization known as the Conner McKnight Soccer Camps (see 2005), while Ethan has developed software used at SPD's Delta Base (see above left panel).
Meanwhile, Trent is likely an artist of some sort (see 2004). The status of Anton Mercer Industries (see 2004) is unknown.

circa 2900-2998
(approx.)
Established on Earth through unknown means, the Time Force Police allow for the existence of Millennium City, an apparent utopia located amidst an otherwise ravaged environment. The people of this society are self-made, using biotechnology to abolish disease and engineer babies by their parents' exact specifications. While extraterrestrials are integrated into the population (as in 2020's Newtech City), free-willed sentient robots are prohibited.
As Time Force experiments with time travel, the Quantasaurus Rex Zord and its Quantum Controller are lost in time (see 150 million BCE). The controller has been designed to function as a Quantum Morpher to morph its user into the Quantum Ranger, apparently a prototype for the later five Time Force Rangers. The Q-Rex, meanwhile, is powered by a Trizirium crystal (see 2100) capable of opening dangerous rifts in spacetime when used near another Trizirium-powered Zord (see 2001).
In Millennium City's biotech division, various accidents give rise to the existence of a race of metahuman mutants, including the energy-wielding Ransik. Apparently shunned by society, some mutants develop a hatred for mankind. A vengeful Ransik wanders the planet and ultimately discovers a lost Org city (see 1,000 BCE), where he frees the three Org spirits Rofang, Takach, and Kired. The Orgs bond with Ransik's DNA to become Mut-Orgs (see 3001) and endow Ransik with the ability to generate blades from his body.
After returning to Millennium City, Ransik is poisoned by the toxic mutant Venomark (see 2001) but saved when a robot engineer named Dr. Ferricks treats him with a healing serum (see 2200). Dependent upon the serum due to his mutant DNA, Ransik ridicules Ferricks' robots and destroys his lab, stealing his supply of serum. Mortally wounded, Ferricks will secretly rebuild himself into the robotic Frax and later allies with Ransik in a plot to exact revenge. Frax will ultimately grow to resent Ransik and humans alike for their mistreatment of robots (see 2001).
Ransik soon dons a partial metal mask and organizes Millennium City's mutant underclass into a terrorist militia, threatens to destroy those who don't join him. He also raises a spoiled daughter named Nadira who is able to elongate her fingernails into blades. Whether Nadira was conceived by Ransik is unknown.
In time, the Time Force Police incarcerate numerous members of Ransik's gang using cryogenic miniaturization in the Funaro Maximum Security Prison (see 3000). Of these prisoners, the most heinous and powerful criminals are stored in the top-security X-Vault (see 2001), known to few outside of Time Force. A high-ranking Time Force officer, Alex provides support as the lone Red Time Force Ranger, while four additional Chrono Morphers remain in storage (see 3000).
A professional racer whose mutant identity is perhaps not publicly known, Dash causes a tragic accident while street racing, and his friend and rival Lucas Kendall is forced to testify at his trial. Dash is frozen in the Funaro Prison (see 2001), and Lucas will join Time Force by 3000.
Discouraged during her training, Time Force cadet Jen is taken in by Alex, who privately trains her as they become romantically involved. After earning her badge, Jen is partnered with the armor-plated Steelix, whom she soon discovers is selling information to Ransik. He is promptly frozen, swearing revenge against Jen (see 2001. Jen is later partnered with her boyfriend Alex, and the duo brings in numerous criminals, including Fatcatfish. By 3000, Jen's friends at Time Force will include Katie Walker, a human apparently engineered with super-strength, and Trip, a metahuman from the planet Xybria with innate psychic abilities.

3000
By 3000, the Time Force Police have cleared Millennium City of all known criminals except Ransik (see above). In addition to a variety of heinous criminals, the convicts also include Notacon, supposedly convicted of stealing food to survive. Still on the loose are Nadira (see above), who may lack a criminal record or may be considered a juvenile, and Frax (see above), who may be assumed by society to be a standard drone (see above) immune to moral responsibility.
Aided by Frax, Ransik attempts to travel into the past with a time-warping device but is captured by Red Ranger Alex (see above) and given a so-called "life sentence" in cryogenic detainment. At this time, Alex and Jen (see above) become engaged to marry.
Ransik, however, escapes with help from Nadira and Frax and nearly kills Alex in battle. He then vanishes to the year 2001 with Nadira, Frax, and the entire Funaro Prison full of mutant convicts. Clinging to life, Alex sends Jen, Lucas, Katie, and Trip after Ransik with five Chrono Morphers, his own Morpher still locked to his DNA. Joined by the sentient (but probably not free-willed) robot owl Circuit, the team commandeers Time Force's only working Timeship to 2001, where it is promptly destroyed.
Surviving his injuries, Alex continues to serve as the mysterious head of Time Force, apparently outranking even Captain Logan of the Time Force Police. From his chamber, Alex monitors the concurrently unfolding alternate 2001 as the Time Force Rangers fight Ransik's forces, aided by Alex's apparent ancestor Wes Collins. With Alex's secret compliance, Time Force will repeatedly send the Time Flyer Zords back in time to help the Rangers when called by Circuit.
Alex eventually tests and dispatches the Time Shadow stealth Zord when the Time Flyers are temporarily out of commission (see 2001).
When Steelix is released in 2001, and as Frax prepares to rebel against Ransik and construct Dragontron, Alex grows concerned with the past's deviance from the history banks, and he soon departs in a new Timeship to intervene personally in 2001. He later returns from 2001, having been swayed to alter history by allowing Wes to remain Red Ranger and by healing Mr. Collins on his deathbed (see 2001). The impact of these changes on 3000 is unknown but apparently minimal.
Alex later blocks Circuit's access to the history banks to prevent his premature revelation of an impending time hole crisis in 2001. He soon sends the Timeship to rescue the four Rangers from the nearing crisis, despite this violating the "true" history in which the Rangers die in the crisis. He refuses, however, to allow Wes passage.
Having been tricked into the Timeship by Wes, the four Rangers arrive in 3000 and are alarmed to learn that Wes isn't fated to survive in 2001. Alex attempts a standard memory adaptation to erase the Rangers' memory of the past and acclimate them to their new present, but they ultimately refuse and return to 2001 after Jen returns Alex's engagement ring.
In 2001, Silver Hills is saved from destruction thanks to Trip's intervention. The impact on 3000 is unknown but apparently minimal. The four Rangers soon return with Ransik in custody and his gang refrozen, presumably in the Funaro Prison. Frax has been destroyed in 2001, Nadira has rejected a lifestyle of hatred, and Ransik has surrendered with a desire for atonement (see 2001). Ransik will soon serve his sentence in prison rather than cryogenic detainment, and Nadira will be assigned community service on Lucas's recommendation (see 3001).
