Suggested by user_11541

A catastrophic attack hits the planet of Aquitar, home of the new Alien Rangers. In a desperate measure of having their population being destroyed, the Rangers create a route of escape, out of the morphing grid, in order to try to save their beloved ones. The escape, however, does not proceed as expected. One powerful adversary, called The Dark Leader, manages to follow them, and in battle, both sides are casted away to unknown destinations. In this conflict, the Rangers and the people of Aquitar end up trapped in their own ship, in the depths of the ocean of planet Earth. But not the Earth that they know, but one of an alternative universe, where the Power Rangers never existed. Now, without options, and about to reencounter the vile beings that destroyed their old world, the rangers need to trust their powers to five underdogs. In order not only to save their own people, but also their new home. https://twitter.com/nic_ueda/status/1311347883942305793
