Another alien species threatens the existence of Earth. TV STORY-Before it Began
Early life
Elizabeth's parents served at S.P.D. years before she was born. While helping in the creation of the Delta Morpher, they were exposed to some cellular enhancers, which altered their genes and would give Z her genetic powers after she was born.
During her childhood, she attended a school despite being from the streets, as her classmates knew of her abilities. Z was bullied and called names like "freak" or "monsters", which prompted her to run away from school when she was just 12 years old. Running into an alien that tried to attack her, the young Z was saved by a mysterious figure appearing in the shadows, who blasted the creature while Z fled.
Years later, she would meet Jack Landors on the streets, and the two became as close as siblings.
S.P.D.
Z spent most of her life living on the streets - helping the homeless by stealing from those more fortunate. She desired to be a part of something bigger, and when arrested by S.P.D. was offered that chance by Commander Cruger when he made her the Yellow Ranger. Z is the one who always looks out for those who are less fortunate or being picked on.
When young Sam was picked on by his peers for being different, Z remembers what she went through as a child and comes to Sam's aid. Z later discovers that the mysterious figure that saved her as a kid was Commander Cruger. This inspired a desire to protect others. Through S.W.A.T. training on Zantor, Z learns to get over her differences with Syd and work together as a team, the Rangers take down a renegade A-Squad.
When Jack leaves S.P.D., Z stays with the Rangers and continues to live out her dream of protecting the innocent.
