Power Rangers: Shattered Hourglass



Power Rangers: Toppled Hourglass is a fanfiction by Michelle the Editor, begun in fall of 2011. The first revised version started in spring of 2012 and finished in August, and the second officially began in April 2013. Its title and theme of time travel were taken from a challenge by WolfsbaneX on the Original Ranger Teams forum on Fanfiction.net. It is the companion story of Power Rangers: Mesozoic Giants and an "adaptation" of the Sentai Fo-Ru Sunadokei Kokugenger.

Trivia

 * This is Michelle the Editor's first team without Zords, mainly because the Akra themselves are poor Zord-builders. When necessary, the Rangers simply use the Zords of the people they are impersonating.


 * Each chapter is dated between two episodes' original broadcast dates, so it's set in a very specific moment of the series' timeline.


 * One of the Akra, Gerard, possessed a ridiculously lengthy name which included the following vampiric references: Alucard is the protagonist of the Hellsing anime; Dracula needs no introduction; Angel and Spike are both Buffy vampires—Angel was cursed with a soul, and Spike varied wildly in his good-evil orientation throughout the series. The surname "Way" may be a reference to Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way, one of the most famous Mary Sues of modern fanfiction, but this has yet to be confirmed.


 * A previous version of this story had Waspicable being thrown through time by a converted Lord Zedd to fight Mary Sue characters, as his monstrous form repelled them.


 * Wulfric of Mercuria was the original mentor of the team, who was killed in single combat by the Akra Queen.


 * Isinia was one of three main candidates intended to replace Wulfric in the original draft. The others were Vella of Mercuria, Tyzonn's fiancée, and Silvy Larsen, the little girl who activated Andros's morpher.


 * In the first rewrite, the decision was made to give all of the Rangers non-lethal weapons, since their goal is capture and restraint, not destruction.
