| “ | Lord Zedd: Think about it; Billy’s device is designed to remove the Earth’S impunity’s! But he never took into account lunar toxic waste! Rita: I think I see where you’re going with this. I like it! Zedd: Na ha ha! After we dump our own space waste into the water, those galactic do-gooders will be destroyed forever! Ha ha ah ha ha! And I can think of no-one better to toxicate the lake than our very own Eric and Merrick the Barbaric. Rita: Those are rube, rude dudes and I love ‘em. Ha ha ha ha ha! |

Biographies[]
After an attack by Rito Revolto and Goldar fails to get Billy's Molecular Hydro Atmospheric Generator, Power Rangers sends Erik and Merrick Barbaric to pour purple liquid into Angel Grove lake to poison the Alien Rangers whilst they re-hydrate. However, Billy is able to save them and Zordon tells them of the Barbaric Brothers so they morph and Rita and Zedd enlarge them. The Aquitarian Rangers summon the Battle Borgs but the Barbaric Brothers summon thick metal armour equipped with a saw and a drill, With the new weaponry, the Shuten Douji Brothers defeat the Battle Borgs with the Red Battle Borg being restrained so that Merrick can finish it off. Before he can though, it breaks free which allows the Aquitarian Rangers to summon the Shogun Megazord. The Barbaric Brothers charge but are immediately killed by the Fire Saber.
Legacy[]
However, the Alien Rangers' victory over the Barbaric Brothers was a Pyrrhic victory since thier poison destroyed Billy's Generator. With it destroyed, the Alien Rangers had to temporarily leave Earth and this lack of usable water later led to them leaving the Earth entirely after slaying the Hydro Hog.
