Corona Aurora

The **Corona Aurora**, also known as the **Crown of the Gods** is the main McGuffin of *Power Rangers Operation Overdrive*. Each one of its five **Jewels** on its own possess immeasurable power.

## History

It was originally found in ancient Greece along with its individual Jewels. Brothers Moltor and Flurious tried to steal the Crown only to be turned into monsters and banished to distant planets because they wanted to use it for evil. Subsequently, its guardian Sentinel Knight hid the Crown and scattered its Jewels (which would take on new forms) on the planet Earth.

Thousands of years later, the Pink Jewel had landed somewhere in Egypt where it was encased with a mummy. The mummy was later gifted to Jimmy Waters, who would not be aware that he was in possession of said jewel. 15 years later, he found the crown and accidentally awoke it along with the two brothers. After Jimmy recruited Will Aston, Jake Waters, Kristen Waters, Sabrina Ortiz, and as well as his own son John Waters to become the Power Rangers, they embarked on their first mission against Moltor, who had taken the crown from Jimmy and has had it since.

### Brownbeard's Pearl

After the Rangers learned that the Eye of the Sea they found in Saint Lucia was not from the Corona Aurora they gave it to Brownbeard to keep. In exchange the pirate gave the team his **Lucky Pearl**. However, this triggered the Overdrive Trackers' Sensory Program causing the Rangers to realize the Pearl was the **Black Jewel**, which they kept in a safe.

### Toru Diamond

Once the Rangers knew where to find the **Yellow Jewel**, also known as the **Toru Diamond** thanks to the Ancient Parchment, they went to retrieve it underneath a volcano in Indonesia. Thankfully, with the new Sonic Streaker, as well as their new ally Joe, the latter was able to retrieve the Diamond for Operation Overdrive. With two jewels in the Rangers' hands, the Sentinel Knight was able to use both jewels to restore Joe back to his humanoid form.

### Blue Sapphire

After the Rangers regained the Phaedra Aztec Del Compass, it led them to the location of the **Blue Jewel**, the **Blue Sapphire**. The Third Jewel was located in the ocean and quickly retrieved by the Rangers. The team was quickly called back to the city due to an attack by the Fearcats. Will Aston said he would take the Sapphire back to the Waters Mansion and catch up with the others. However, Kamdor and Miratrix ambushed him and were successful in stealing the Jewel.

The Sapphire remained with Kamdor's Forces for a long time; Kamdor even used its power to summon an asteroid to Earth; however, what he did not know was that Norg entered his hideout and saw where the Sapphire was hidden. After Kamdor left to draw out the Rangers he clumsily managed to get the Sapphire and give it to Flurious.

### Star of Isis

After Jimmy deciphered the Egyptian Tablet he discovered that it gave the location of the **Star of Isis** in the Florida Everglades. However, thanks to a virus Kamdor placed in Hartford's computer system he and Miratrix were already on their way.

The Rangers arrived shortly after; while they battled Miratrix, Kamdor went to find the Jewel and was successful. However, before he and Miratrix escaped, Kristen Robinson used her speed to grab the Jewel before either could notice and took it back to the mansion.

### Pink Emerald

After the mummy Jimmy had owned for fifteen years came to life due to an Egyptian medallion and three of the jewels being in close proximity he gave the Rangers a box containing a **Pink Jewel**, revealing that the metal box had been blocking the Tracker from recognizing it as the **Pink Emerald**.

### Later History

Flurious later launched an assault on the Hartford Mansion and stole all of the jewels, including the Corona Aurora, and used the Blue Sapphire to destroy Moltor's volcano. After reverting the crown and the jewels to their original and most purest form, he used it to transform into a monster, but was defeated by John. The crown and its jewels were returned to the Sentinel Knight, who used its power to turn John into a human.

Shortly thereafter, Sentinel Knight hid the Corona Aurora in a dormant volcano on Aquitar where it could be protected by the Aquitian Rangers. Sensing it was being pursued by a dark energy, eventually revealed to be The Alliance, he contacted the HyperForce Rangers in 3017 seeking their aid in moving the crown. They traveled through time to December 2007 and, together with Sentinel Knight, returned the Corona Aurora to Earth.

When the Alliance continued their pursuit of the crown, it was destroyed by Chloe Ashford to prevent it from falling into evil's hands. These events were then revealed to be an elaborate manipulation by the leader of the Alliance to prove a theory about how the timeline could be successfully rewritten. He had used the future version of the Corona Aurora to resurrect Thrax, and destroying the past version of the crown centuries earlier did not undo that use of it.

## Notes

* Each of the jewel share the same color of an Operation Overdrive Ranger except for Joe.
