Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue is a television series and the seventh entry of the Power Rangers franchise, based on the 23rd Super Sentai series Kyuukyuu Sentai GoGoFive (1999).
Lightspeed Rescue had, for the first time, a Power Ranger with no Super Sentai counterpart in the Titanium Ranger, as there was no Titanium Ranger in GoGoFive, which makes it the first season to have an American-exclusive Ranger.

Synopsis
In Mariner Bay, California, a group of demons led by Diabolico and Queen Bansheera are accidentally released from their tomb and plot to destroy the city. A government organization called Lightspeed, headed by Captain William Mitchell, recruits five citizens -- firefighter Carter Grayson, lifeguard and marine animal trainer Chad Lee, stunt pilot Joel Rawlings, extreme sports athlete Kelsey Winslow, and Mitchell's paramedic daughter Dana -- to defend the city as Power Rangers after Lightspeed successfully channels the source of their powers, the Morphin' Grid. Amidst their battles against the demons, the Rangers are joined by Mitchell's long lost son Ryan Mitchell, who was initially forced to fight for the demons until he sees the error of his ways.
