Power Rangers: Shattered Hourglass



 Power Rangers: Toppled Hourglass is a fanfiction by Michelle the Editor, begun in fall of 2011, revamped and restarted in spring of 2012 and finished in August of that same year. 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 any Zords, mainly because the Akra themselves are poor Zord-builders. When necessary, the Rangers simply use the Zords of the people they are impersonating.
 * In a much older story with a similar intent, Xylithenia was a Sue who was captured and slowly converted into being a good character.
 * 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.
 * The original mentor of the team was Wulfric of Mercuria, who was killed in single combat by the Akra Queen.
 * The name "Detra Heusa" was obtained from a Greek-style Naming Generator via mixed-and-matched results.
 * Isinia was one of three main candidates intendedto 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 rewrite, the decision was made to give all of the Rangers non-lethal weapons, since their goal is capture and restraint, not destruction.

Planned Revisions

 * Stronger development of Garfield and Xanthe's relationship
 * Bring them into Mesozoic Giants later, thus speeding up the climax
 * Fewer old, deceased Rangers
