Synopsis[]
- "Three students turned evil after dropping out of Animan Academy, endangering two more students. Now three teenagers vow to avenge their fallen friends as they volunteer for their academy professor, Prof. Starr, to become Power Rangers Animal Brigade!"
- ―Narrator
This series takes place on Animan Academy, Seattle, which is both a location and a school for scientists. One day, Animan Academy's three finest students, Kuban Stroud, Sienna Walters and Ian Kelly, felt their talents were being wasted at Animan Academy and left. They accepted a position in the evil organization, the Dark Voltage Group. On the night of their departure, their former classmates Patrick Landers, Henry Handover, Jennifer Lanstone, Tadik Barton and Mary Lancaster saw them leaving on a spaceship. When asked where they were going, Kuban drew a gun on the five, injuring Tadik and Mary.
Prior to the pair's injuries, Tadik and Mary were working alongside Patrick, Henry, and Jennifer in creating a suit strong enough for space exploration. They had made substantial progress on the night that they were injured. One of the professors at the school, Professor Starr, pitched in to help them complete their original ambitions. Starr was also worried that the Dark Voltage Group would begin attacking people, and thus helped out to prepare against a future assault.
Two years later, Animan Academy launched a shuttle for space exploration. However, a mysterious ship appears and downs the shuttle; Patrick, Henry and Jennifer are among the few people who did not get injured. They discover that Kuban, Sienna and Ian were responsible for the destruction of the shuttle. As a result, Patrick, Henry and Jennifer took up the powers of the original project, becoming Animal Brigade Power Rangers to battle against their former classmates and the Dark Voltage Group.
Later in the series, they are joined by Cory and Todd Parker, identical twin brothers who also vowed to avenge Tadik and Mary, their best friends. Also later in the series, Ian realized how wrong he was in trying to kill his own mother. As a result, he quit Dark Voltage and became the sixth Animal Brigade Power Ranger, leaving the villains to clone him and become the true Zoltar. Near the finale, after Sienna and Austin became human again and Kuban paid for his crimes, they were also cloned, whereas the evil Sienna, Austin and Kuban clones become the true Persephone, Ravana and Lokar, respectively. Thus, Sienna, Austin and Kuban decided to join Power Rangers Animal Brigade, angry at Lokar for his rotten deeds, and becoming the seventh, eighth and ninth Animal Brigade Power Rangers.
