Synopsis

The story is set six years after the conclusion of the previous part and begins with Theo's eighteenth birthday. It is constructed of two separate timelines, the black main one and the blue one, set in the parallel temporal continuum. Now, because of the ancient tablet stolen from the museum in the previous installment, the whole fabric of time and space is in danger. And while Rescue Rangers (the URT ones, that is) try to find the reasons of Theo's strange dreams and behavior, their matches from the parallel universe would have to cooperate with their doubles and triples from other parallel universes in order to prevent the falling of Time Viewer, a machine built by Gadget (Oakmont, that is) which caused everything in the first place, into the hands of Aldrin Klordane. And time is of the essence (no pun intended...)
