Barbarax captures several citizens of Terra Venture to work in the slave camps, including Mike. Leo and Kai find a way to reopen the portal back to their universe, but Terra Venture can’t move fast enough to get through it. Mike frees the slaves and then forces the portal open in Defender Torozord, sacrificing the zord and his powers in the process. Mike survives, and the original Magna Defender spiritually comes to Mike to thank him for fulfilling his original legacy.
