It spans Power Rangers Turbo and Power Rangers In Space, concluding with the final battle- a blending of both Countdown To Destruction & Day Of Destiny.
In this version, Zordon doesn't return to his homegalaxy and doesn't get kidnapped. So in these stories, From Out Of Nowhere- Parts 1&2 don't exist.

Johnson. 4 New Turbo Rangers are in this series when the Original Team Members leave- Rocky DeSantos returns as Red Lightning, Eugene Skullovich enters the Rangers as Desert Thunder, Regina Carpenter is now Wind Chaser and Courtney Roberts is now Dune Star. Trey is now known to be the Phantom Ranger, commanding the TurboTransport Zord Artillatron.
Discovering Purity [Part 1]
By Dale Speer Jr.
When Kimberly Hart was sleeping, she had some dreams- and a lot of them turned her head like it would any of us. But these dreams were a shocking revelation of what was to come- and even she wouldn't believe them.
She saw what happened in the past months since Trini, Zach & Jason left the Rangers to attend the Teen Peace Summit in Switzerland- how a Fireball impacting into Trini allowed her to become Raye Hino/Sailor Mars. How a Thunderbolt shocking Angela Jones made her become Lita Kino/Sailor Jupiter. After she left, how the love of her and all of the others allowed Aisha Campbell to become Mina Aino/Sailor Venus. And how an attack by Queen Machina changed newcomer Cassandra Fisher into Ami Mizuno/Sailor Mercury. But updates through the Rangers kept her updated on the goings on.
Trey, by a special request from Zordon, was granted one of the Phantom Rubies, thereby making him a member of the coveted Phantom Ranger Corps. Designated the 6th. Member of the Turbo Rangers, he served with the AstroRanger Team as well- commanding the TurboTransport Zord, Artillatron, as well as giving Andros the Control Disc for the Delta Megaship/Megazord.
Ninjor & Dulcea, the keepers of the Ninja & Ninjetti Powers, were talking to Zordon & Luna, the Guardians of both the Rangers & Sailor Scouts, of that very person- and how her powers could change if a gift was given to her. A gift of incredible power.
"I had heard from Zordon that the Ninjetti Uniforms of both Aisha & Kimberly were trimmed in Silver instead of Gold," Luna told the 2 Keepers, "So Aisha's becoming Sailor Venus came as no surprise to me. But 2 women outside of the Rangers- Cassandra & Angela- becoming Sailors Mercury & Jupiter surprised me thoroughly." "And Trini's becoming Sailor Mars definitely surprised me," Ninjor told Luna, "I knew she was the one for the SabreTooth Tiger PowerCoin- but for her to become the Sailor Scout of Fire is a shock for me."
"But the one question on my mind," pondered Dulcea, "is why did Kimberly's Ninjetti Uniform become Silver trimmed? I mean, she couldn't be a Venusian- because only Venusian-Ninjetti Uniforms can become silver trimmed." "You are right there, Dulcea," Zordon replied to her, "And why did Kimberly display the graceful Ninjetti on her, the Crane?"
Alpha-5, Zordon's trusted Robotic Associate, was working on these mysteries- and he tried to interject into the coversation of the 4 Guardians, but they only pushed him outside. He finally had to yell to get their attention- and when he was in, he said, "I researched common legends on Earth- and found that Cranes were symbolized not just for their Agility and Gracefulness, but for their symbolism to purity. One legend even says that Cranes were given to the Earth from the Moon itself- when it was destroyed." That started Luna thinking- remembering that they had Cranes in the Moon Kingdom itself. The more she thought about it, the more it astounded her. She finally understood what Kimberly was.....
"Can it be?" she asked herself aloud- where everyone could hear. "What do you mean, Luna?" Ninjor asked. "I was pondering over what Alpha was talking about- and I just came to a startling discovery," she answered the NinjaPower Keeper- and that had everyone's attention. She started her explanation.
"The Crane symbolized Purity, Grace & Agility in the Moon Kingdom," she started, "and they were a protected bird in the Kingdon's History. When Queens Metallia & Beryl destroyed the Moon Kingdom, Serenity sent the flocks of Cranes to Earth for safe keeping." "If Kimberly symbolized Grace, Agility & Purity as the Crane," Dulcea posed. "And her Pink Uniform was trimmed in Silver instead of Gold," Zordon added.
"It all makes sense," Ninjor finished for them- and they all exclaimed.....
"KIMBERLY'S THE MOON PRINCESS!"
In her spacebase, Divatox was scheming of ways to get back at the Rangers for what they did- when a Blonde-haired General wearing the same uniform as Zoicite came through the front gate. Divatox nearly blasted his head off- but his ability to redirect it singed her skirt. He ordered her henchmen- Elgar, Rygog & Porto- to leave them for the surface to cause some senseless destruction while he had a chat with the Pirate Queen.
"Dark Specter's not very happy with the results your producing," he told her in a quiet tone. "I know, Jadeite," she replied, "Both the Turbo Rangers and Sailor Scouts are giving me some problems in finishing the take over. I can use some help in this effort."
"That's why he's sending Astronema to help you," he told her. "Well, even if she's the reputed Princess of Evil, her help will be a big assist," she replied, "Though I would prefer Queen Beryl's assistance on this. Her monsters are much more powerful, and could keep the Scouts occupied while mine pound the Rangers out of existence."
"That could be arranged," he answered her as he left her presence. True to his word, he asked Dark Specter if Beryl could assist Divatox- and he approved of it. So Beryl was on the Spacebase within hours.
The pair were convinced that 2 monsters in Angel Grove and 1 at Kimberly's TrainingFacility in Florida could unbalance the teams to where they could defeat them. Plus, one of Dark Specter's goals could be achieved- the removal of 1 Ranger that could replace a Ranger. So they set the plan in motion.
Froe was sent to Florida to assassinate Kimberly while CopperRaptor & BackBiter were sent to Angel Grove to eliminate the Rangers. But it was right after Kimberly's birthday- and Trini, Angela, Aisha & Cassandra were visiting with her. Getting ready to go to their hotel, they had promised Kimberly a day of fun tomorrow.
Froe had already froze and assumed the form of Coach Schmidt, and was getting ready for her attack on Kimberly. She was on the balcony, looking at the full moon above when Froe struck. Quick & silent, she almost had taken her target out- but Kim backflipped and landed on the ground- right in the center of a ray of moonlight.
The other 4 Sailor Scouts had already arrived- and Froe had determined that she couldn't complete her mission, so she made tracks for the coach's quarters.
After they checked with Kim to make sure she was alright, they went back. But if anyone took notice, Kim was exposed to the Moonlight- and she was starting a metamorphosis within, a change that would affect her- for the rest of her life.
The next day, Jason flew in from Angel Grove to visit with her- and he brought gifts from the gang. 2 gifts each, just to remember them by- and 7 of them interested her. Gemstones without settings and not finely repaired for sparkle- for they sparkled from inside. Kimberly said that she would treasure them for her lifetime.
Later that night, Kim & Jason had the same dream- of their lives as Rangers up to the time he got selected for the teen conference...... and of a different time, in a most wondrous place. Jason looked different- he had on black armor and had black hair. And Kim also looked different- she had on a white Princess' gown trimmed in gold, and a crescent moon was on her forehead. Her hair was also different- it extended beyond her waist, and was done up in what looked like 2 tennis balls with long ponytails on each.
Both of them woke up with a start- and met halfway after a phone call and a change of clothes, in a nearby park with some tables.
"Same dream?" Kim asked her friend. "Same dream," replied Jason, and he responded in the positive when she detailed her dream.
"Apparently, we're in a different means," he added. "And soon, you will be dead," another voice said- when they turned around, they saw Coach Schmidt changing into a monster. Kim screamed and started running while Jason stepped into a defensive pose.
Kim screamed again when the lights in the park went out- but she was surrounded by bright light coming from the moon. In an instant, she was gone- transported to a different place. Jason also felt himself shimmering as he disappeared.
They found themselves in a palace in a different dimension in the clothes they wore. 2 women started walking towards them- and Kim realized they were the women in their dream. Both wore shimmering gowns and walked with confidence in them.
"Where are we?" Jason asked them. "You mean you don't remember this place, Prince Endymion?" the one woman with black hair asked him. "I don't even know about this place," he replied, "And why are you calling me Prince Endymion?" "It is good to know that your inquizitiveness is still there," the one with silver hair answered, "We will answer the questions that both of you possess here. But first- who you possess inside your spirits."
