Description
Welcome to Lost Galaxy Reimagined Part 2.
Here’s a quick re-cap. NASADA sent an exploration space station, Terra venture. Its mission is to explore a worm hole and set up a base on the planet Mirinoi, which is located in a parallel galaxy codenamed Lights of Orion Sector Tau or Lost Galaxy for short.
However, upon landing on the planet, the crew went missing and the population of the crew went from fifty to thousands over a few weeks. Since all the NASADA funding has been poured into building the Terra Venture, they cannot afford to set up another mission. Thus, Ground crew leader Mike Corbett assembles his own rescue team despite protocols telling him only a crew of five and a small replica shuttle of the Astro Megaship is not rescue mission standards.
Upon arriving on Mirinoi, the team realized there is time dilation, time goes much faster on Mirinoi than Earth, the original Terra Venture team has passed by a few generations, everyone they once knew were long gone, these new generations are their descendants. The descendants are no longer interested in sciences and have become more spiritual due to the effects of the planet. They befriended a tribesgirl called Maya who is basically a shaman.
The team detected the strong energy signal from five ancient Quasar sabers that were planted there by ancient warriors three thousand years ago. It was prophesied whoever pulls these sabers out, will be destined to be the new defenders of Mirinoi. While witnessing the sword pulling ceremony, the insectoid space pirates came to take the sabers for themselves.
The group tried to defend the inhabitants but were outnumbered until the crew accidentally pulled the Quasar Sabers out of a stone. They used the swords’ power to fend off the space pirates. Unfortunately, Mike falls into a crevice caused by the evil minions. Before falling into the crevice, he passes his Sword onto Leo. Five magical devices appeared around the wrists of the explorers and Maya. The five morph into the Lost Galaxy Rangers. They fought against the insectoids, fending them off… for now. Now, the five are chosen to be the final line of defense to protect the remaining descendants of Terra Venture, to retake Mirinoi, and stop the invaders trying to reach Earth.
In this battle, they damaged the insectoids’ ship and the villains retreated. Legend said that 3000 years ago, the insectoids known as the Court of Scorpius appeared. They caused chaos, stealing resources from the Terra Venture explorers. Unable to fight off these insectoids, the space settlers’ attempts were futile. Thanks to the sudden appearance of the ancient Lost Galaxy Rangers, they were fended off.
The insectoids left the planet but vowed to return one day to take over the planet. These sabers were planted there by five mysterious warriors and sealed by one mysterious dark knight.
According to legends and archives, there are many artefacts laid out across Mirinoi; when combined, they can summon the full power of the entire Lost Galaxy. The insectoids are out to gain this power. Maya claims that with all of these powers combined, the rangers can summon the powerful warriors 3000 years ago to fend off the insectoids. Both forces are in a race to collect legendary items using clues left by rangers.
This season is serialized as a race to gain a new artifact while working together while facing their demons. While going through this, each character is going through the phases of grief over Mike’s tragedy. Damon is going through denial, never believing Mike is gone. When reminded about Mike’s departure, he would go through cognitive dissonance.
Leo is angry and in disbelief over his brother’s demise, finding it unfair and it should’ve been himself instead of his brother who is a true leader. He is going through an inferiority complex, training harder than any ranger, since he is not the one who pulled the sword out, Leo feels he is not worthy of being the red ranger.
Kai is in the bargaining phase, believing whatever he does, he can bring Mike back, with the powers of the Lost Galaxy, or every time he does good, it will count into the karma of bringing Mike back.
Kendrix, having a huge crush on Mike, is going through depression. She used to be a cheerful and happy go-lucky person but is often day dreaming about Mike being there and everything reminds her of Mike.
Maya is the only one who is at the acceptance in the stages of grief phase, although she is very much interested in befriending Mike (met with jealousy with Kendrix), she is the one with the clear head of knowing Mike is no longer there with them. That is why she is the only one who can "hear" the voices of the Lost Galaxy powers.
