The Magna Defender is the ninth episode of Power Rangers Lost Galaxy. It continues the Lights of Orion arc and begins the Magna Defender arc, which marks the final appearance of Furio, as well as the first appearance of Treacheron and the Magna Defender.
Synopsis[]
When Scorpius learns that the Magna Defender has returned, he sends monsters to stop Magna from getting to the Lights of Orion. The Red Ranger goes to the cave where Magna rescued him and battles a monster digging for a rock, which supposedly contains the Lights of Orion. Monsters and Rangers strive to break open the rock, but it turns out to be an ordinary stone.
Plot[]
The episode begins with Furio thinking that the Lights of Orion was under their noses the whole time and he also said that he can finally prove to Scorpius that he is worthy. Thinking that he might be able to find a clue to his brother’s whereabouts, Leo goes back to the caves where Furio lies, thinking that he has found the Lights of Orion. The two encounter each other and start to fight, with Leo managing to get the better of and disarming Furio. Knowing he can't defeat Leo but unable to return to Scorpius, Furio decides to self-destruct himself hoping to take the Red Ranger down with him. The other Rangers turn up to help just as Furio destroys himself in a huge explosion. Among the clouds, an unconscious Leo is brought out by the Magna Defender.
On Scorpius' ship, Scorpius himself told Treacheron that the Magna Defender had returned and Treacheron said that he was not surprised and that he too would be seeking the Lights of Orion. Scorpius said that the Magna Defender wouldn't stop at nothing to destroy him and that he must not get the Lights of Orion. Scorpius ordered Treacheron to take three monsters and destroy Magna Defender.
Back on the Astro Megaship, Leo regains consciousness and remembers being saved but also remembers briefly seeing Mike carrying him. He decides to go back to the cave to see what Furio was looking for. There he finds a stone with something inside of it which might have caught Furio’s eye and takes it back to the ship to have Kendrix look at it.
Unable to open the stone, she takes it to another lab on Terra Venture and is attacked by a monster. The Magna Defender and the other Rangers join the battle but loose the stone to the monster. Leo told the Magna Defender that he's not leaving until why he is here and who he is. After punching Leo in the gut, the other Rangers came to help him, and Kendrix asked why he wants the Lights of Orion, and Magna Defender said that he has his reasons, prompting him to leave.
As Trakeena and co. try to open the stone, the Rangers and the Magna Defender appear. With an attack from the Magna Defender’s sword, he cracks the stone open and was surprised like everyone else that the stone was empty. He battled Treacheron, who fled after a while, whilst the Rangers summoned the Galaxy Megazord and defeated Ruptor. The Rangers stopped the Magna Defender and asked if they want to work together, and he said that he works with no one. Kendrix asked him that they're fighting for the same thing and he said that they had no idea what he was fighting for and that they don't know him at all. Leo asked him who he is, and Magna Defender said that they've cost him valuable time. Leo thought that he may have been Mike, but he was wrong and Magna Defender said that nothing will stop him from getting the Lights of Orion.
