Power Rangers Turbo Stories

Since the defeat of Maligore, the older Turbo Rangers graduate from high school and resume their ordinary lives, but are attacked once again by a vengeful Divatox and her forces and an endless supply of detonators and monsters that threaten the people of Angel Grove.

A latest twist into the story involves Zordon and Alpha 5 returning to Zordon’s home planet of Eltar, thereby relinquishing the mentorship of the Rangers to the spectral Dimitria of Inquiris (who is suggested to be Divatox’s long-lost twin sister) and the street-talking Alpha 6.

The Rangers are then joined by Blue Senturion, an intergalactic police robot who brings with him the “Millennium Message,” a pivotal story arc which foretells the later events of Power Rangers in Space. The four older Turbo Rangers are then retired from duty, “Passing the Torch” to four new Rangers - T.J. Johnson, Carlos Vallertes, Ashley Hammond, and Cassie Chan, while Justin Stewart remains as the Blue Turbo Ranger.

The mysterious Phantom Ranger, whose identity is never revealed and powers originate from Eltar, arrives on Earth in the nick of time. Divatox’s brother General Havoc arrives, bringing with him a new Space Base for his sister and a Metallosaurus Zord (a tyrannosaurus-like robot with a long tail). He also succeeds in capturing the Turbozords. The Phantom Ranger, who becomes Cassie’s love interest, gives the Turbo Rangers new Rescue Zords, and the Rangers later manage to retrieve the Turbozords as well.

But, the end of the series brings tragedy and devastation as the Rescue Megazord is self-destructed on T.J.’s command in a failed attempt to destroy the powerful Goldgoyle. The Turbo Megazord is wrecked in the same battle and the Power Chamber is blown up by Divatox’s minions, destroying the Turbo Powers. However, just as Divatox is poised to take over the planet, she receives a message from Dark Specter to come to a gathering of the United Alliance of Evil. She is also told that Dark Specter has captured Zordon.

Once the Rangers have learned that Zordon has been captured, they are determined to save him. Justin manages to sneak into the NASADA headquarters and convince a mission specialist that the Rangers need a Space Shuttle to chase after Divatox and save Zordon. The four rookie Rangers board the shuttle, but Justin decides that his father is more important to him than being a Ranger and stays behind. The season ends with the Rangers blasting into space, starting a new series; Power Rangers in Space.
