Nightmare Fuel / Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: Shattered Grid

Go To

  • In the opening pages of Issue 25, the Crisis Crossover Shattered Grid begins, and takes the nightmare fuel beyond up to eleven. In the first few pages, we see the Time Force Power Rangers investigating an ominous fracture that is tearing space and time apart, threatening at least three alternate dimensions. Then, in a sudden burst of energy, Lucas, Trip, and Katie are expelled from the Megazord, sent tumbling into the rift. Then, in order to cover Jen’s escape so she can Set Right What Once Went Wrong, the Megazord explodes with Wes inside it. Then, a shadow reaches through the fracture — the giant silhouette of Lord Drakkon nearly grabs Jen, who just barely pulls off a Narrow Escape. So in one go, we have nearly the entire Time Force team seemingly killed, leaving behind a woman who watched another man she loved die in front of her. If you can recall how broken she was when Alex was seemingly killed... yeah.
    • Plus, considering Wes and Alex have similar faces... yeah... it could be like watching the same person die all over again. Poor Jen.
  • Main universe Tommy and Kimberly, who have been having some issues as of late, decide to go on a date. At the end of it, Tommy tries to kiss her, but Kim insists on taking it slow. As he leaves, she has a change of heart and runs after him. She never gets that kiss. Because at that moment, she sees two of him... well, him and someone who used to be him. Yes, Lord Drakkon arrives behind Tommy... and commits the most elaborate form of suicide one would ever see. Headless Saba, right through Tommy's heart. Jen arrives to fight him off, but we know it's too late. Thomas James Oliver, the character who for a quarter-century was and is, regardless of medium, the face of Power Rangers, dies in Kimberly Hart's arms. True, this may be reversed later, but for now...
  • Seeing all the Rangers who faced countless odds be attacked so ruthlessly is one thing. The fact that many of them don't even understand the threat is another.
  • The final page of issue 27 Drakkon heads into battle alongside his newest troops. The Psycho Rangers, Koragg the Knight Wolf and SPD A-Squad.
  • In Issue 30:
    • When Drakkon is forging his new power stealing sword the images of his alternate selves can be seen in the molten metal. It also confirms that Doctor Oliver was killed off screen.
    • Drakkon bringing out Serpenterra to effortlessly take out the Shogun, Wild Force, and Ninja Storm Megazords and then has it eat the Dragonzord Battlemode Megazord.
  • Shattered Grid #1
    • We see Serpenterra destroy the Mystic Titan Megazord. Unlike most Megazords the Mystic Titan Megazord is formed by the Rangers themselves. When most Megazords are destroyed there's at least a chance the Rangers survived, but not this time.
    • Serpenterra biting down on the Q-Rex Zord, with Jason inside, crushing it. It even chews on the smaller Zord a few times for good measure.
    • Drakkon succeeded in his goal to enter the Morphin Grid and obtained the heart of a Morphin Master. He used that power to completely erase all dimensions, worlds, and universes from existence to create his own world.
