Power Rangers: Toppled 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. It was later reworked as Power Rangers: Shattered Hourglass, though for the purpose of continuity the old story stayed up.

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.


 * 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, later being 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.
 * The new title, Shattered Hourglass, originates from a mix-up by author Aaron Thall in his "Next Time" segment anticipating the crossover between this story and Power Rangers Cyber V. That mix-up, in turn, came about because Aaron had been spending too much time researching BotCon exclusive Transformers and had Shattered Glass on the brain.
