The events of the U.S. moon landing in 199 inadvertently reactivated the ship bringing Psycho Green out of his hibernation. Zordon had Alpha teleport a team of five to the Command Center consisting of Grace Sterling, Vietnam War veteran Terona Washington, college student Daniel O’Halloran, British singer and songwriter Jamie Gilmore, and KGB intelligence analyst Nikolai Chukarin to go to the Earth's moon to stop Psycho Green. On their first mission Psycho Green takes out the team before Grace and Terona can stop him. Before they return to the Command Center Grace takes the Psycho Dagger. With their mission over, Psycho Green defeated and three members of the team dead Zordon takes back their powers but Grace leaves with the Psycho Dagger.
Grace reappears after the Rangers faced off with the Black Dragon offering them the assistance of her company Promethea. Grace not telling the Rangers the full truth about a lot of things lead to them not trusting her. After the fight against Lord Drakkon in his universe he falls through a rift in space/time and ends up in our world where Grace takes him into custody. When the Coinless Saba learns this he goes to finish Drakkon but insteads frees him which leads to the events of Shattered Grid. With Lord Drakkon and his forces growing the Rangers team up with Grace and sends Grace and a team of Rangers to the moon of the Coinless universe in the Promethea (Terra Venture) to rescue the Rangers that Lord Drakkon has captured. Grace and her team that consisted of Coinless Kimberly (Ranger Slayer), Tanya (Zeo Ranger II Yellow), Andros (In Space Red), Mike (Magna Defender), Karone (Lost Galaxy Pink), Cam (Green Samurai Ranger), and Heckyl (Dark Ranger) succeed in their mission but is stranded somewhere Beyond The Grid.
The leader of the seems to be Kimberly Hart , the Ranger Slayer from Lord Drakkon's Coinless Universe. Kimberly's story parallels that of her counterpart from the Prime Universe until the point where the spell is broken on Tommy. In the Coinless Universe after Rita's spell was broken Tommy didn't join the Rangers instead he joined Rita, leaving his life as Tommy Oliver behind and taking the name Lord Drakkon. During the "Fall of The Power Rangers" battle as Jason was about to take on the powers of the White Ranger Lord Drakkon attacked and emerged from the Command Center with the powers of both the Green and White Ranger powers and defeated the Rangers.
Kimberly joined the resistance along with the rest of the Ranger and alongside others like Bulk, Skull and Matthew. Drakkon would go on to take all of the Power Rangers Coins except for Billy, who before he died gave his Morpher and Coin to Trini. Kimberly armed with nothing but a regular bow and arrows helped the resistance with patrols and rescue missions one of which she found her first boyfriend Matthew Cook, badly injured and before they can evacuate the group he was in Matt dies and Kimberly swears vengeance on Drakkon.
That night Kimberly headed off to take out Drakkon and got to his thrown room and close enough to fire arrows at him. Drakkon managed to deflect the arrows thanks to magic he learned from Rita and placed Kimberly under a spell transforming her into his Dragon Slayer and giving her the Bow of Darkness. As Drakkon's Ranger Slayer Kimberly was used to attack her friends and help Drakkon tighten his hold on the Coinless Universe.
During a battle with the Coinless and the Prime Universe's Billy and Tommy, Drakkon is defeated and escapes to the Prime Universe. The Ranger Slayer uses a fraction of the Green Chaos Crystal to transverse time and space to rescue him but overshoots and lands in the early days of the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers before their Tommy was taken by Rita. After a few run ins with the Rangers and a battle in the Command Center, Prime Kimberly broke the spell Ranger Slayer. After running into a young and living Matt, and receiving a communication from Lord Drakkon, Kimberly sets into motion a plan to end Drakkon. Ranger Slayer ensures Prime Tommy's role in the final battle before she jumps to the near future and join up with the present day Prime Grace and her team at Promethea. Kimberly is a part of the Moon Base Rescue team sent to rescue all of the Rangers Drakkon had taken prisoner before they are stranded somewhere Beyond The Grid.
When Mastervile reversed time and reduced all the Rangers to young children, Zordon had to send them on personal quests to retrieve their Zeo Sub Crystal to return Earth and themselves back to their rightful place. Each Ranger's quest sent them into the past to revist a part of their person heritage, the Yellow Ranger Aisha Campbell traveled to Africa where she befriended a young girl named Tanya Sloan. Once in Africa Aisha learned of a sickness affecting the animals there and decided to stay and use her veterinarian knowledge to help them and sent her Zeo Sub Crystal back with Tanya.
Tanya arrived in the present and along with the other Rangers Zeo Sub Crystals and the help of Billy's invention they reformed the Zeo Crystal. With the Zeo Crystal reformed time was restored as were the Rangers along with Tanya. But before anything else could happen Rito and Goldar blew up the Command Center but Zordon and Alpha managed to teleport everyone out of it in time. While going through the rubble of the Command Center the Rangers found the Zeo Crystal and upon picking it up were sunk into the ground below where the Command Center once stood. Once there they discover a new Power Chamber and received their new Zeo Powers. Tanya was given the Yellow Zeo Sub Crystal when Billy stepped down so he can be of more use helping them from the Command Center with Alpha and Zordon.
After receiving a letter from Aisha and her tribe back in Africa Tanya learned that her real parents were American explorers and with the help of Jason, the Gold Ranger she rescued them and found the lost Tiki of Auric. The Tiki of Auric turned out to be an ancient hero and Tanya entrusted it to Jason. The power of the Gold Ranger were draining Jason's life force so he had to return the powers back to Trey just in time for the Zeo Rangers to defeat the Machine Empire. During Jason's farewell party at the Command Center the Evil Lord Drakkon, posing as Tommy stole Adam's Zeonizer and then returned to kill Tommy and take his Zeonizer as well. Kat, Tanya, Rocky and Trey all traveled to the Prime Universe's Command Center answering Zordon's call and joined in the fight against Lord Drakkon. In their final attack against Lord Drakkon Tanya was selected to join Grace and her team of Rangers aboard the Promethea (Terra Venture) to rescue the Rangers Lord Drakkon had captured on his Moon Base in the Coinless Universe.
