Comic Book / Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: Shattered Grid

No Ranger is Safe.

We will invade their worlds. Tear down anything that might protect them. And then... when it's too late... when they're powerless and alone... they will realize the truth: They could have been gods.

— Lord Drakkon, Shattered Grid Trailer

Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: Shattered Grid is a six-part crossover series starring the Boom! Studios version of Saban Brands' Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. It is a dual Milestone Celebration, both for the franchise's 25th anniversary and for the main title hitting 25 issues.

Lord Drakkon, the alternate universe version of Tommy Oliver where he rejected the Rangers' hand in friendship and stayed with Rita, taking over the planet, is back and ready for round two. Repowered and armed with a much more dangerous army of evil, Drakkon seeks to recross over to the other universe with a plot so diabolical, that it threatens Rangers throughout space and time. This is a battle that the Mighty Morphin' team cannot win on its own. To save everything and everyone, they must call on everyone.

The story begins in Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers (Boom! Studios) #24 and Go Go Power Rangers #8 as prologue issues with issues #25 and #9, respectively kicking off the storyline where the two titles alternate. Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers Annual 2018 and the Free Comic Book Day 2018 comic contains special stories, and concludes with Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: Shattered Grid #1. Power Rangers Hyperforce episodes 19 and 20 serves as an additional prequel to the storyline. After the events of the story, a new storyline began, Beyond the Grid, following a cobbled group of stranded Rangers led by Ranger Slayer.

This event contains examples of:

• Actually a Doombot: One weapon in Drakkon's arsenal. Which saves him from a massively pissed off Dr. K trying to get rid of him.
• Adaptational Badass: Serpentera. In the TV Show it was always running out of power before it could really do anything worthwhile (necessary evil, otherwise it'd be a complete Story-Breaker Power). Here, it finally lives up to its promise, completely steamrolling multiple zords and needing The Rangers to pull a Make My Monster Grow on whatever Megazord parts they could get their hands on to stand a fighting chance.
• All There in the Manual: The "Whatever-we're-calling-it" Megazord is officially called the Mega Megazord.
• All Your Base Are Belong to Us:
  • After defeating the Samurai Rangers, Drakkon takes over the Shiba house and has it guarded by Ranger Sentries.
  • In Go Go, the Rangers are in combat with the Gravezord when they realize Ranger Slayer has invaded the Command Center. Kimberly breaks off to battle her evil counterpart.
  • Corinth also falls after the Rangers are forced to teleport out.
• All Your Powers Combined: As it turns out, Drakkon's stealing Morphers to empower himself further. His end goal with this is to obtain enough power to access the heart of the Morphin Grid itself.
• Alternate Universe:
  • Some of the Ranger series seem to play out differently here. The Time Force Rangers seem to be still united in the future where in the original series, Wes stayed behind in the present. In addition, Jason inherits the Dragon Coin because of Tommy's murder at Drakkon's hands.
  • When the Time Force Rangers investigate the fracture, they notice that time and space is breaking apart in the "other dimensions", showing the Mighty Morphin' Rangers, the RPM Rangers (who as of Samurai are confirmed to exist in a separate world) and the Dino Charge Rangers, who as of the finale of Dino Supercharge inhabit an alternate timeline where the dinosaurs never went extinct.
  • Issue #26 of MMPR seems to suggest that in order to minimize the damage from Lord Drakkon's actions, the Morphin Grid had isolated all Ranger teams to exist in their own universes, as Finster 5 suggests conquering the entire multiverse.
  • In Shattered Grid #1 Drakkon uses his godlike powers to create a "perfect world"... that essentially casts him as Superman and other characters in parallel roles (Zordon and Rita as the Kents, Trini and Zack as Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen, etc.)
• Ambiguous Situation:
  • MMPR Annual 2018 ends with the stories of Zeo, In Space and Ninja Steel unresolved as Zeo!Tommy is supposedly killed, Adam unknowningly without his Zeonizer and no one realizing it, TJ launched out into space with the rest of the Space Rangers under attack by Drakkon's forces and Drakkon planning to do something with the piece of Brody's Ninja Star he stole.
    • TJ is later shown to be among those held prisoner by Drakkon's forces, and the entirety of the Ninja Steel team answers Zordon's call for aid and arrives at the Command Center along with any Rangers that haven't been captured or killed.
  • Shattered Grid Finale ends with the Mighty Morphin' team, Jen and Lauren undoing the damage done by Drakkon, but it's left completely ambiguous exactly what's been fixed and what hasn't.
• And I Must Scream: Not deeply explored but when Tommy was killed, Drakkon's green crystal reacted to the shard that Ranger Slayer had embedded into him in the past and caused Tommy's spirit to be pulled into a space between dimensions where he could do nothing but watch as the events of Shattered Grid occurred.
• An Offer You Can't Refuse: Drakkon forces the Hyperforce team to work for him lest the rebellion members are killed. The team are not happy at that.
• Anyone Can Die: First issue alone sees the eradication of the Time Force team, except Jen, and Tommy dying at Drakkon's hands. The next issue has all of the Samurai team but Lauren Shiba, and her brother Jayden who wasn't present, falling to Drakkon and his army but it's unclear if they were killed or simply captured. In the annual, Zeo!Tommy and Alpha 6 are also killed. Issue 28 has Coinless Zack killed while rescuing Ninjor and the following issue has Coinless Skull getting his neck snapped for his betrayal.
• Art Shift: The art style changes partway through Shattered Grid #1, when Drakkon erases reality to make his own, as an indicator that something is not quite right. The art style shifts back when Tommy revives and restores everyone's memories.
• Badass in Distress: Ninjor ended up kidnapped by Drakkon before he murdered Tommy. Finster 5 uses him to help Drakkon tap into more stolen Ranger powers.
• Big Bad: Lord Drakkon, of course.
• Big Good: Jen Scotts, the Time Force Pink Ranger, ends up playing this role.
• A Birthday, Not a Break: Drakkon attacks the RPM-verse on Dr. K's birthday. She already wasn't feeling great, but a murderous supervillain openly admiring her for creating Venjix causes her to have a private breakdown.
• Bittersweet Ending: The Rangers save the day and they, along with Jen and Lauren, end up using the Heart of the Master to reset the multiverse into a Close-Enough Timeline, but the paradoxes caused by Drakkon's actions need to be undone, thus losing their new friends. However, as the preview for MMPR #31 shows, the Promethea ends up getting Unstuck in Time, stranding Grace, Coinless!Kim, Heckyl, Tanya, Andros, Mike, Cam and others within the brand new multiverse.
• Bloodless Carnage: Zigzagged; after being stabbed in the back by Lord Drakkon you can briefly see blood on Tommy's shirt on the following page which disappears in subsequent panels.
• Brainwashed and Crazy: Turns out Ranger Slayer was in this position. The damaged Alpha 5 is able to break the spell by engulfing her in enough electricity that it breaks her Bow of Darkness in half.
• Brought Down to Normal: One of the weapons in Drakkon’s arsenal is an EMP that can cut Rangers off from their powers. Casualties include all of the Samurai Rangers except for Lauren Shiba (and her brother Jayden, who’s been Put on a Bus), the entire SPD team, and Dillon of the Ranger Operators.
  • Dr. K is able to reverse engineer this weapon and make her team immune to its effects and starts applying it to the rest of the Ranger teams.
  • Brought Down to Badass: Even without their Ranger powers, several teams are still capable fighters. This is especially true for the SPD Rangers, who still have their unmorphed powers.
• Buffy Speak: Jason calls the combination of the Hyperforce Megazord + Super Zeo Zord 1 + Wolf Spirit + Plesio Zord the "Whatever-We're-Calling-It" Megazord. (Kendall offered to let Zack name it after the battle, but they never got the chance to.) ^note Officially, it's called the Mega Megazord.
• Canon Character All Along: Kinda-sorta. The Wondercon panel on the event revealed that Ranger Slayer is actually the Kimberly of Drakkon's world.
• Close-Enough Timeline: The Emissaries state that while pressing the Reset Button will restore things to before Drakkon's attempt to conquer the multiverse, some things may slip though and that things won't be exactly the same.
• Crisis Crossover: Essentially near all the Power Rangers of the series are being targeted by Drakkon and his forces and the timelines have been thrown out of whack. Forcing Rangers of past, future and alternate timelines to team up and try to stop him.
• Curb-Stomp Battle:
  • The Samurai Rangers are quickly beaten by a combination of Drakkon's Ranger Sentries wielding extremely powerful weapons and having greater numbers.
  • This is a running theme for most teams that go up against Drakkon's Ranger Sentries due to a combination of the above reasons and being caught unaware by foes they've never encountered before.
• Dropped a Bridge on Him: Most of the resistance from Drakkon's world was wiped out after the Rangers left.
• Early-Bird Cameo:
  • Averted. Many people noted that one of the helmets on the cover to issue 25 was that of Hammie/Chameleon Green of Uchu Sentai Kyuranger, but others were quick to point out that it was most likely a mistake (which it turned out to be with the announcement of Power Rangers Beast Morphers, which is decidedly not a Kyuranger adaptation) and it could have been someone else, most likely Camille/Green Chameleon Warrior of Power Rangers Jungle Fury and that the cover artwork has not been finalized yet.
  • A page from Issue #29 has, among the remaining Rangers from across the multiverse, the Beast Morphers team and in the very back of that same page is the Dark Ranger.
• Enemy Mine: Issue #29 has Cruger and Zordon going to Rita to try and get help in stopping Drakkon.
• Evil Cannot Comprehend Good:
  • Drakkon, being a power-maddened lunatic of the highest order, just can't get why the Zeo Rangers are such True Companions.
    Drakkon: I've been trying to understand what they see. They look up to you. They... worshipped you, in their own way. Why? What did you ever do to deserve that?
  • In issue #27, he's still at it, and it turns out while Drakkon doesn't get it, Finster-5 does.
    Drakkon: They too hold their "Tommy" on a pedestal, for no reason I can discern.
    Finster-5: Perhaps it's love?
    Drakkon: There's nothing to love about him. It doesn't make any sense.
    Finster-5: Well, love, my lord, often doesn't.
  • In issue #30, when Finster-5 attempts to stop Drakkon from using all of the connections to regain his powers, Drakkon kills him because of his affections.
• Evil Power Vacuum: Despite Drakkon's defeat, his expanse was much more far-reaching and that one victory isn't going to free the world.
• Fade to White: Happens twice in Shattered Grid #1. The first time is because of Drakkon using the power of a stolen Heart of a Master to erase all the universes to create his own. The second occurs when the Mighty Morphin team along with Tommy, Jen, and Lauren use that same Heart to press the Reset Button and restore things to what they were before.
• First Kiss: An aversion of this is what leads to Drakkon killing Tommy. Tommy and Kim are on their first date and Tommy attempts to kiss Kim before she panics and suggests going slower. They agree, but Kim later realizes she really did want to kiss him. She gets back just in time to see Drakkon run Tommy through with Saba.
  • They finally get that kiss right before they reset the multiverses.
• First-Episode Twist: Look at how many spoiler tags there are. You're not going to get through this event page without knowing that Tommy Oliver died at the end of the first issue.
• Fling a Light into the Future: Go Go #12 has the Ranger Slayer tracking down Tommy and shooting him with a arrow infused with a shard of the green crystal, doing something to him to give him a second chance against Drakkon.
  • Shattered Grid #1 reveals that when Drakkon killed him and supercharged his own crystal, Tommy's spirit was pulled out of his body and he could do nothing but watch as events unfolded. He eventually used Drakkon's self-doubt in his own created world to break free and revive himself.
• From Bad to Worse:
  • By Mighty Morphin' Issue #27, Drakkon has managed to get his hands on Samurai, Zeo, and the Psycho Ranger's powers, and mass-produced them for his army. Even worse, it's implied he's recruited Koragg the Knight Wolf and the SPD A-Squad.
  • Issue 28 ups it when the rescued Ninjor reveals Drakkon isn't capturing Rangers for conquest purposes, he's doing so so he can enter the Morphin' Grid.
  • Shattered Grid #1 starts off with the battle against Drakkon's forces slowly going bad for the Rangers before Drakkon ends up succeeding in his goal to enter the Morphin Grid and then proceeds to wipe out all realities.
• Future Me Scares Me: This is Kimberly’s initial reaction to the Ranger Slayer.
• The Gods Must Be Lazy: In the Free Comic Book Day issue, Zordon begs for help from the Morphin Masters. Despite the threat Drakkon is posing, the beings Zordon confronts refuses to grant him an audience, feeling that Drakkon isn't that bad a threat for the Rangers to handle and that if this part of reality crumbles, oh well.
  • In the finale, they admit to the Rangers that they were total idiots because they didn't expect Drakkon to enter the Morphin' Grid and kick their asses.
• Gondor Calls for Aid: The Rangers send out a call for any other Rangers still remaining to come and help them in the final battle. They get a whole bunch of them.
• Hero Killer:
  • The Ranger Slayer, who seeks to retrieve Lord Drakkon and eliminate the Rangers in the past. She uses a bow designed like the Sword of Darkness, is powered by the Pterodactyl Power Coin and is outfitted with a special Warzord known as the Gravezord, combined of the seven ravaged Thunderzords. Oh, she's also Kimberly of Drakkon's world, and she's Brainwashed and Crazy until GGPR!Kim breaks the spell.
  • Lord Drakkon adds to his total by killing Tommy. Then he adds Zeo!Tommy and Alpha 6. The FCBD issue hints, and Issue #30 confirms, that Dr. O has fallen as well.
• Heroic BSoD: When the Hyperforce team is told of the events of Drakkon's rise and Tommy and Billy's arrival, they don't take it well at all.
• Heroic Sacrifice: In Shattered Grid #1, Jason uses the Q-Rex Zord to destroy Drakkon's tower, de-powering his Sentries; unfortunately Serpentara breaks free of the Hyperforce Megazord's grasp and crushes the Q-Rex in its jaws. Thankfully he's brought back by the end of the story.
• Hero of Another Story: Zordon's S.O.S. signal is shown reaching the Lost Galaxy, Dino Thunder, In Space, Jungle Fury, Samurai, Dino Charge, Lightspeed and SPD teams, each of which are fighting off Drakkon's forces, with varying levels of success.
• How Did You Know? I Didn't: Scott asks how Dr. K knew Drakkon was Actually a Doombot before she tried killing him. She gives him a Death Glare in response.
• Kill and Replace: Just not in that order. Drakkon beats up Zeo-era Tommy and impersonates him, with none of the Zeo Rangers any the wiser. After he's done, he murders his counterpart.
• Killing Your Alternate Self: Drakkon's heroic selves are the only Rangers he's specifically gunning for. The "original" Tommy and Zeo Ranger 5 learn this the hard way.
• Late-Arrival Spoiler: A variant cover for Issue #26 has Kimberly crying over Tommy's dead body, which happened at the end of the previous issue, and the comic itself starts off with Tommy's funeral.
• Let's Split Up, Gang!: When Drakkon starts attacking multiple dimensions at once, the team receives two distress signals: one from Dr. K and the other from the Coinless. They split up into three groups to deal with the situation: Billy, Zack, and Trini go help the Coinless, Jen and Kim are to travel through the various dimensions saving who they can and bring them back to the Command Center, while Jason and Lauren are sent to the RPM team.
• Me's a Crowd:
  • You have the MMPR team & their surviving counterparts from Drakkon’s universe. Plus, the GGPR team from earlier in the timeline, although they’re largely kept away from the bulk of the events.
  • Two notable aversions.
    • Whilst MMPR!Green Ranger & Lord Drakkon are present, they’re also the only versions of Tommy to appear because Drakkon kills both Black Dino Thunder Ranger and Zeo Ranger V before the Rangers can rally against him - Dr. Oliver doesn’t even get the dignity of dying on panel.
    • As far as Rangers who aren’t Tommy Oliver go - only the original incarnation of the MMPR team appears, the Zeo team are explicitly taken from after the defeat of the Machine Empire, and only the Phantom Ranger appears from Turbo; so there’s no doubles of any of the Rangers who held multiple powers during the Zordon era of the franchise.
• Mid-Season Upgrade: With Tommy's death, Jason obtains the Dragon Coin, allowing him to become the Armored Red Ranger.
• Mythology Gag:
  • Tommy dies, the Dragon Coin passes on to Jason, just as it was with their Japanese counterparts. Double example, as Tommy was originally supposed to die like Burai to pass on the powers to Jason..
  • In the Zeo Rangers story, Jason is given back his old Power Morpher and is reminded not to use it as it was still damaged from Rito's attack in "Ninja Quest". Adam says that he'd never do such a thing... which he ended up doing in "Always A Chance".
• Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Zordon tells the Rangers of the past to not ask Ranger Slayer about things in the future, fearing damage to the timestream. This effectively allows events of this series to happen.
• Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Finster-5's attempt to rescue Lord Drakkon by sending the Ranger Slayer into the past ends up setting it up so that Ranger Slayer can ensure Tommy's revival which leads to Drakkon's defeat.
• Offscreen Moment of Awesome: Partway through, one of the RPM Rangers manages to single-handedly bust through Drakkon's forces and steal one of the de-morphing cannons. All entirely offscreen. Which of them did this? Ziggy, of all people.
• Once More, with Clarity:
  • In Go Go #11, we see Drakkon and Ranger Slayer's meeting, suggesting that Drakkon knew of everything wrong with her. In Mighty Morphin' #29, we see that Drakkon only knew of everything because Finster V was beside him pointing things out.
  • In Mighty Morphin' #25, Tommy mutters "So that's what she meant." as he's dying. Go Go #12 reveals that the person he's referring to was the Ranger Slayer and her leaving a rather cryptic message for him at the time.
• Original Generation: Lord Drakkon's army expanded to include other powers he stole. As well, the Ranger Slayer, a mysterious female Ranger using the powers of the Pink Power Coin, is introduced. The Hyperforce Rangers will also appear in this storyline.
• Put on a Bus: The Samurai Rangers are under Lauren’s leadership instead of Jayden’s, even though this is after the events of their series. Some dialogue from Mike (later clarified by Word of God) indicates that the Nighlok have resurfaced and Jayden is off investigating, so Lauren is serving as The Leader.
• Ragtag Band of Misfits: While there are going to be tons of Power Rangers showing up, the focus of the story is a group comprised of the Mighty Morphin', Pink Time Force, and female Red Samurai Rangers.
• "The Reason You Suck" Speech: After Drakkon creates his 'perfect world', he is confronted by Tommy's spirit, who taunts him with the real reason he attacked so many worlds; for all that he rants about how Tommy was weak for choosing good, Drakkon can't deny Tommy's observation that he is the only Tommy Oliver in the entire Multiverse who chose evil, even as he denies Tommy's implication that this makes him the weak one as he chose not to risk opening himself to others.
• Recycled In Space: It's Crisis on Infinite Earths/Spider-Verse BUT WITH POWER RANGERS!
• Red Skies Crossover: To prove this storyline will affect all Rangers, Power Rangers Hyperforce episodes 19 and 20 take place during this event, and their involvement lasts all the way to the final regular issue.
• Redemption Rejection: Tommy tries to give Drakkon a second chance, but the man would rather die in his falling apart perfect world than be saved by Tommy.
• Reset Button Ending: The MMPR team plus a revived Tommy along with Jen and Lauren use the heart of Morphin Master, that Drakkon had stolen, to undo all the events that had occurred to put everything back to normal (or as close to it as possible).
• Rewatch Bonus: In Power Rangers Hyperforce episode 21, the game master tells the players that they have no memory of the events of Shattered Grid, more or less to avoid the hassle of trying to write around a story that just started at that point in time. This makes a lot more sense with Shattered Grid Finale when the Rangers reset the universes, Billy points out that the paradoxes caused by Drakkon's actions couldn't be maintained and need to be undone.
• Sadistic Choice: In Issue 28, Dr. K is forced into this - either stay in Corinth and risk everyone getting captured or bring down the dome and escape for another day. She's forced to choose the latter.
• Screw This, I'm Outta Here: When the Hyperforce team learns of the events, being a team of rookies, it scares the bejeezus out of them and some of them attempts to leave on the spot.
• Set Right What Once Went Wrong:
  • After her brainwashing gets broken, and while the Rangers are fighting a couple of Rita's monsters, Future!Kimberly goes out of her way to find Tommy (who, at that point in time, was not a Ranger and didn't know the others) and "give him a second chance".
  • In the finale, the Mighty Morphin' team, Jen and Lauren use the Heart of a Master to undo the damage caused by Drakkon, though it's implied they end up creating a Close-Enough Timeline.
• Sole Survivor: At the start of the arc, Jen is the only member of the Time Force Rangers left after the others died trying to stop Drakkon from damaging the timeline.
• Spanner in the Works: Finster-5, ironically. In his desire to find and rescue Lord Drakkon, he sends Ranger Slayer into the past, who is freed from her mind control, who nails past Tommy with a shard of the Chaos Crystal. That energy boost ends up causing Tommy's spirit to be yanked into Drakkon and becomes the weapon of his defeat.
• Spoiler Cover: Issue #30 reveals Lord Drakkon's final form, which officially doesn't show up until Shattered Grid #1.
• Spotting the Thread: In Issue 29, Finster-5 notices that the Ranger Slayer is morphed, but missing her bow. This is because she's had her brainwashing broken; she immediately drops the act once questioned on it.
• The Starscream: Unsurprisingly, it turns out Drakkon killed his Rita immediately after defeating all the Rangers the day he got the White Ranger powers.
• Surprisingly Sudden Death: There is absolutely no foreshadowing whatsoever to Drakkon's attack on Tommy.
• Temporal Paradox: According to Jen’s theory, the Morphin Grid is shattering in an effort to protect itself from this. With Tommy’s death, he clearly can’t become any of his other Ranger identities. The Grid, which transcends time, tried to cauterize the wound by splitting each team into its own Pocket Dimension, where the actions and situations of one team won’t affect any of the others. As a result, when we see the Zeo Dimension, Tommy Oliver is alive and well as Zeo Ranger V and has memories of the Black Dragon arc... until Drakkon gets to him.
• Thou Shalt Not Kill: Rita has Drakkon on the ropes and is prepared to kill him when Zordon and Cruger tell her to back off. They're taken out by Finster-5 because of it.
• Time Crash: Jen theorizes that this has happened to the Power Rangers' timeline: because of Tommy's death, the Morphin Grid freaked and shattered the Power Rangers timeline and put all the teams into their own little universe. Unfortunately, because of Drakkon's meddling, the team can't go back in time and revive Tommy.
• Trauma Button: Doctor K is put out on the RPM Rangers giving her a birthday cake, what with the bad associations between her and birthdays, thanks to Alphabet Soup.
• Two Lines, No Waiting: Shattered Grid comprises itself of two storylines:
  • Mighty Morphin deals with Lord Drakkon's return and his attacks on the the Ranger teams as he seeks more and more power.
  • Go Go deals with Ranger Slayer as she's accidentally sent back into the past, during the early days of the Mighty Morphin' team.
    • And within Go Go, there’s also a “third line”, a series of flashbacks chronicling how the Ranger Slayer went from a resistance fighter to The Dragon to Lord Drakkon.
• Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny: 25 years worth of Power Rangers against a deadly foe such as Lord Drakkon for the fate of what may be the Morphin' Grid? You betcha!
• Underestimating Badassery:
  • Drakkon assumes the SPD Rangers will be an easy target. They send him packing. He doesn't learn his lesson, and they defeat him again in a rematch.
  • In the Free Comic Book day issue, while the Blue Emissary does worry that Lord Drakkon's actions may put the Morphin Grid and all of them at risk they are brushed off by their companions who believe that would be impossible since no mortal has ever affected the Grid in such a way. Considering the last page of the issue shows Drakkon with even more stolen morphers and the giant energy Drakkon Jen encountered at the beginning of the event, they may be very, very wrong.
    • This is proven in Shattered Grid #1 where Drakkon not only succeeds in entering the Morphin Grid, he defeats the Emissaries, steals the heart of a Morphin Master, and uses that power to erase all multiverses from existence to create his own world.
• Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Ninjor fixes Lord Drakkon's coin and morpher, unaware that he's evil.
• Wham Episode: The first issue of the event shows how serious things will be by ending with Tommy being ambushed and killed by Lord Drakkon.
• Wham Shot:
  • Lord Drakkon stabbing Tommy in the back near the end of Issue #25.
  • The last page of Issue #27 shows that Lord Drakkon has been joined by the Psycho Rangers, A Squad, and Koragg the Wolf Knight!
• Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?: Rita's attempted subversion of this to stop Drakkon once and for all puts her in opposition of Zordon and Cruger's Thou Shall Not Kill mentality. Their bickering causes enough of a delay that Finster-5 gets the drop on them to free Drakkon.
• The Worf Effect:
  • The mysterious rift in time/space does a number on the Time Force Power Rangers with Trip, Katie and Lucas being sucked into it and Wes is caught in the destruction of the Time Force Megazord, leaving Jen the Sole Survivor.
  • Issue #26, Drakkon and his army attacks the Samurai Rangers, seizes control of the Shiba House, depowers five out of six Rangers except for Lauren (Jayden is not present at the time), and steals their powers both to upgrade himself and to create more Ranger Sentries.
  • Issue #28, the Rangers that Kim and Jen rescued enter the battlefield to assist against Drakkon's forces and are immediately hit with a blast from a Dragon Cannon, forcing all of them to demorph.
  • Issue #30, Drakkon's Serpentera is finally fished out and makes short work of the Wild Force, Shogun, Storm and Dragonzord Battle Mode Megazords. As well, Drakkon uses his enhanced Saba to steal the powers from the Gold Ninja Steel Ranger, Blue Alien Ranger, Lunar Wolf Ranger, Quantum Ranger, Red Lightspeed Ranger, Jason and Lauren. To make matters worse, Levi and Merrick were Sixth Rangers and Eric, Carter and Lauren were using their Battlizers.
