Power Rangers Lost Galaxy
Power Rangers Lost Galaxy is a tokusatsu television series and the sixth entry of the Power Rangers franchise, based on the 22nd Super Sentai series Seijuu Sentai Gingaman. The series was the first to follow the Sentai tradition of a new cast with each new series with minimal costume and prop elements being recycled from Denji Sentai Megaranger.
Kendrix Morgan, the first Pink Galaxy Ranger for this series, was briefly killed off two-thirds through the season, marking the first time that a Ranger was killed off in the series. Kendrix was temporarily written out of the show as Vernon had temporarily departed to seek treatment for leukemia. Her treatment was successful and she returned for the season finale.
Synopsis
Far away on the distant planet Mirinoi, a group of tribe people gather around to hear the story of the Quasar Sabers, five mystical swords that will select only those worthy of pulling them out of the stone they were set in 3,000 years prior. As those gathered take turns attempting to pull the swords out with no luck, they are ambushed by monsters led by Furio.Back on Earth, a space colony called Terra Venture is preparing to set out through the cosmos in search of a new world like Earth. A young man named Leo Corbett attempts to get onto the space colony, but is kicked out for not having a passport. After saving an old lady from a group of thugs, he decides to stow away onto a transport shuttle to sneak on board. However, Leo is forced to disguise himself as a soldier to elude officers chasing him and wind on a combat training mission on the moon, much to the surprise of crew members Kai Chen, Kendrix Morgan and Leo's brother, Mike Corbett.
Suddenly, a portal opens and a tribe girl from Mirinoi named Maya falls through. After telling the group of her planet's plight, Kendrix and Mike follow Maya back through the portal, with Kai taking Leo back. However, Leo escapes and goes through the portal, leaving Kai behind when he comes across a flyer for a museum tour of the Astro Megaship. Believing the Megaship is the only vessel capable of reaching Mirinoi, Kai meets Alpha 6 and the Megaship's mechanic, Damon Henderson, who helps Kai fly off in the Megaship to try and find Mike, Maya, Kendrix, and Leo.
Once the group unites on Mirinoi, Mike pulls the first Quasar Saber and deflects Furio's attack. Kai, Damon, Kendrix, and Maya, then pull a Quasar Saber each out of the stone, being revealed as the chosen ones. Furio, upset that he was not able to get the swords for himself or his master, drives his sword into the ground, causing everything and everyone around to slowly turn to stone.
The team runs off before Furio forces a crevice open in the ground. Mike falls into the crevice, and tries to hold on but is unable to, passing his Quasar Saber onto Leo before falling. With the Quasar Sabers beginning to energize, a heartbroken Leo and the other 4 morph into the Lost Galaxy Power Rangers, chasing off Furio and his foot soldiers before having to get off of Mirinoi due to its stone petrification, returning to Terra Venture just in time as the colony begins its quest for the new world.
The Rangers battle space villains from two different parts of the galaxy who include Scorpius, his daughter Trakeena and Deviot. Along the way, they discover the Galactabeasts and ally with the mysterious Magna Defender, a warrior who sought revenge against Scorpius for the death of his son, Zika. Though he later dies, he manages to reveal that his host body is Mike and passes the Magna Defender powers to him.
When Deviot revives the evil Psycho Rangers, the Rangers of Power Rangers in Space show up to aid the Galaxy Rangers in destroying them. During this saga, Kendrix, the Pink Ranger, sacrifices herself to protect the Pink Space Ranger and Terra Venture from Psycho Pink. Karone, sister of the Red Space Ranger Andros and former evil princess Astronema, is given the powers of the Pink Ranger from Kendrix, and joins the Rangers in the battle to protect Terra Venture.
Deviot later reads secret words from the mystical Galaxy Book; sending Terra Venture and himself into the "Lost Galaxy". Here, the Rangers encounter Captain Mutiny and his Swabbies. These traveling space pirates live on the back of a massive space-faring dragon inside a castle. Deviot reemerges and joins the Captain's fight against the Rangers and attempts to turn all of the citizens of Terra Venture into his slaves. The colony escapes the Lost Galaxy after Mike sacrifices his powers to keep a portal open.
Deviot returns to Trakeena, but by this time, she has learned of his treachery and tries to destroy him. She chases him through the ship into a cocoon Scorpius made before he was destroyed, fusing them together and driving Trakeena insane. Using her army armed with suicide bombs, she cripples Terra Venture and destroys the Stratoforce and Centaurus Megazords. This forces the colony's people to evacuate to a nearby planet. Trakeena gives chase but the Rangers destroy her ship by self-destructing the Astro Megaship, but the explosion leaves Leo stranded on the moon. Trakeena, who survives the crash also, albeit scarred and injured, finally reaches her breaking point and uses the cocoon to transform into an insectoid creature to enter Terra Venture's wreck and use her power to set it on a crash course to the planet below to destroy it and the people. Leo and the other Rangers try to stop her, but are slowly outmatched by Trakeena's new power. She is only defeated after Leo, using his Battlizer, blasts her at point-blank range nearly destroying himself in the process. By this time, the colony is nearly crashed but the Galaxy Megazord diverts its course and lands it on a large clearing in an explosion. The colonists, having feared the worse for the Rangers, are relieved and overjoyed when they come out of the explosion on the Galactabeasts. After this, the Zords reveal to the Rangers they had landed on Mirinoi and return the swords to the stone altar. This restores its petrified inhabits and, to the joy of the Rangers, restores Kendrix to life as well. After this the colonists settle on Mirinoi, the new world.
