On the Animarium at night, Taylor sat in the rocking chair, while Max, Alyssa and Bella all sat at the table, looking depressed as they stared at a fire, since they'd now all lost Wildzords to Zen-Aku in the past few weeks. Danny stood nearby before he walked towards them, as Cole and the Princess stood between Bella and Taylor.

"I've never seen you like this." the Princess said, as Danny stood on the other side of the table.

"We let Zen-Aku beat us." Alyssa said, getting her attention. "Now he has even more of our crystals."

The Princess walked off as Cole turned to Alyssa, Bella and Max.

"Don't get discouraged." Cole said, getting the Princess to turn around. "We're going to get them back."

"How can we?" Max inquired, turning to him. "He has seven Wildzords now, and we also only have seven."

He held seven fingers up.

"All we have is our original, plus the Gorilla." Bella sighed. "We've lost the rest."

"That doesn't matter." Cole argued. "What matters is we stick to together, and stay strong."

Bella, Alyssa and Max all turned to him.

"We'll find a way." Cole assured.

Danny walked around the table towards Max's left, then touched Max's shoulder.

"Remember what you taught me, Max?" he asked.

Max turned and looked up at him.

"Never give up." he said, as Alyssa and Danny turned.

The Princess smiled as Danny turned and walked off slightly.

"Well then, what are we gonna do about it?" Danny asked, turning to the others.

Max and Alyssa turned to each other, while Bella put her hand on her chin, thinking.

"You're right!" Max said, getting up. "Let's get our crystals back!"

Alyssa and Bella both nodded before they got up, followed by Taylor, all determined to get them back.

Meanwhile, Zen-Aku was asleep in the forest, lying against the coffin he'd risen up from, his feet resting near a fire turning his head slightly as he dreamt.

~Flashback~

The Ancient Warriors surrounded him, with their sabers dug into the ground. A blue circle then appeared around them, while a smaller red one appeared around Zen-Aku, which turned into a fire, as the Anicent Warriors held their right hands out.

"AHH!" Zen-Aku moaned, dropping his blade. "AHH!"

~Flashback ends~

Zen-Aku shot up and woke up.

"Ah!" he gasped.

He looked around, but saw he was alone, making him clam down. He then heard a barking noise, making him turn left.

"Huh?" he muttered.

A dog came running into his den, then began sniffing some straw nearby. Zen-Aku then got up and approached it, before picking it up and looking at it carefully.

"Hmm? Why do you seem so familiar to me?" he wondered.

The dog purred.

~Flashback~

A man was bathing in a lake in the darkness, with the same dog, which he held up.

"Good pup." he said.

He put the dog down, which began to paddle as he washed his hair.

~Flashback ends~

Zen-Aku stared at the dog.

"Hmm?" he muttered.

The next morning, the Rangers - all morphed - ran through the forest together, before they stopped.

"This is where we found Zen-Aku before." Cole recalled. "He's gotta be here somewhere."

Meanwhile, in the Nexus, Master Org slowly approached Nayzor.

"Zen-Aku is becoming very powerful." he explained.

"Yes, but he is also very close to destroying the Rangers." Nayzor assured.

"You must make sure he doesn't remember!" Master Org instructed, pointing at him.

"I have an idea how to handle it." Nayzor assured.

Back in the forest, the Rangers were looking around as they moved past a tree.

"Come on, guys." Cole said. "Keep your eyes open."

They all stopped and looked around, before Cole spotted Jindrax, Toxica and a bunch of Putrids near a shed building.

"Look out!" he yelled.

The Putrids all aimed their clubs and fired lasers from them, hitting the ground around them, flipping them onto their chests - expect Cole, who landed on his back, and Alyssa, who landed on her side.

"Rangers, ha. Finally all to ourselves." Toxica smirked, walking around Jindrax, as the Rangers got up. "Get them!"

The Putrids all charged forward at the Rangers, before a wave blast hit the ground between them.

"AH!" Toxica yelped, turning away, raising his hand over her eye.

"Stop!" a voice roared.

Toxica turned around, and saw Zen-Aku standing on the roof of a small building behind her.

"You will not destroy the Rangers!" he roared, resting his blade on his shoulder, before pointing to himself. "They are mine!"

He jumped down towards them, then tried to slash Cole with his blade, but Cole blocked it with his saber. He then slashed Cole across the chest while turning around, then he slashed Danny across the chest as he ran past him. He then slashed Taylor as she ran past him, then he turned and slashed her downwards, knocking her back, before he turned and slashed Bella across the chest as she ran past him. He then turned and slashed Alyssa, then he blocked Max's saber with his blade, before slashing him with it.

"AH!" he grunted.

He flipped onto his back as Jindrax, Toxica and the Putrids all watched.

"We're not gonna let you hog all the glory, Zen-Aku!" Jindrax snarled, pointing his blade at him.

Taylor came up behind him with her Eagle Sword, and then kicked him in the back.

"Whoa!" he yelped, stumbling forward.

Taylor crouched down and held her saber over her head, before she moved forward.

Alyssa blocked Toxica's staff with her Tiger Baton, before Toxica slashed her twice down the chest in an X shape, flipping her onto her back.

Max knocked a Putrid back with his left Fighting Fin, then he kicked another in the chest.

Bella blocked one's club with her right Leopard Dagger, before slashing it across the chest with her left, then she turned and kicked another in the chest.

Danny punched one in the chest, then turned and kicked another in the chest, then grabbed a third's arm as it came at him, before flipping it onto its back.

Cole leaned against a crate in the building, as Zen-Aku tried to slash him, but missed as he ducked. He then rolled away, then got up and stared at Zen-Aku, who then tried to slice him, but missed as he ducked. Cole then blocked his blade with his saber, then pulled back, then tried to slash Zen-Aku, who grabbed his forearm, then pulled it away, while putting his blade near Cole's shoulder. He then made them both turn around, then he glared at Cole.

"I have waited 3000 years for my revenge!" Zen-Aku snarled.

"Well, I feel sorry for someone who only knows anger!" Cole grunted.

"I'll show you anger!" Zen-Aku snapped.

He pushed Cole towards a set of small metal boxes, knocking a few over, before he turned and pushed Cole towards a fence, which he knocked over as he rolled forward. Zen-Aku then charged at him as he got up, then slashed him up diagonally with his blade, making him stumble forward, before he turned around and slashed Cole down the chest twice.

"AGH!" Cole moaned.

He fell onto his back as Zen-Aku turned to him. Zen-Aku then went to slash him as he turned away, when Taylor showed up and blocked it with her Eagle Sword.

"Not this time!" she snapped.

"Huh?" Zen-Aku gasped.

Taylor raised her sword up, knocking Zen-Aku back slightly, then she slashed his blade, before kicking him across the chest, knocking him down, before he rolled across the ground, and then he got up.

"Now's our chance, Cole!" Taylor said.

She crossed her forearms over, holding her Eagle Sword in her right, her Soaring Darts in her left.

"Soaring Darts!" she shouted.

She threw them at Zen-Aku, hitting the ground beneath his feet, making sparks come up from it. She then jumped up, followed by Cole - holding both halves of his Lion Fang - then she slashed Zen-Aku with her sword, as Cole stabbed him in the chest with his Lion Fang.

"AGH!" Zen-Aku moaned.

He went flying out of the building and landed in a field nearby on his side.

"Uh!" he groaned.

He stared at Taylor and Cole, who brought out his Lion Blaster.

"Let's finish this!" he said, holding it up. "Lion Blaster!"

He aimed it at Zen-Aku, when the same dog from last night barked and came running towards Zen-Aku.

"No! Stay away!" Zen-Aku said, turning to it, before it stopped near him.

"What?" Cole muttered.

"AGHH!" Max yelled, as he flew through the air.

He hit the ground on his back.

"Ah!" Zen-Aku grunted, turning to him.

Toxica fired a few blasts from her staff as Max got up.

"Whoa!" he yelped.

He dived to his left as the blasts hit the ground, once of which hit the dog's back right leg.

"NO!" Zen-Aku gasped, rolling over slightly.

The dog flew away slightly, before it hit the ground, its leg bleeding slightly.

"AGHHH!" Zen-Aku growled, getting up.

He charged at Toxica, then tried to slash her, but missed as she ducked, before he slashed her staff with it, making her spin around. He then kicked her in the chest, knocking her onto her back.

"AGH!" she yelped.

The Rangers all gathered together behind Zen-Aku.

"Lion Blaster, Gatling mode!" Cole shouted, aiming it as Zen-Aku turned around. "Fire!"

He fired it and hit Zen-Aku in the chest, making sparks come from him.

"AGH!" he moaned.

He rolled along the ground, as Toxica got up and clutched her chest, as she and Jindrax stared at him.

"How dare you attack us? You'll pay for this!" Jindrax swore, pointing at him.

He and Toxica turned and ran off.

Zen-Aku turned around, then jumped up over the Rangers, then landed by the dog as they turned around.

"I won't let them harm you." he promised, picking the dog up.

He turned and ran off with it, as the Rangers stared at him.

"Zen-Aku, wait?!" Cole called. "Huh?"

Later, Zen-Aku bandaged up the dog's injured leg while sitting on a rock near the coffin.

"There you go, my friend." he said, stroking the dog before it ran off. "Good as new. You were lucky this time."

The dog stopped by the straw and sniffed.

"What's the matter? You don't wanna go?" Zen-Aku asked.

He got up from the rock.

"You must not have any friends?" he assumed, approaching the fire area. "Just like me."

He bent down and began banging two rocks together, starting a fire.

~Flashback~

The seven Ancient Warriors all fought a bunch of Putrids. Sliver blocked ones club with his saber, then spun around, as Red and Pink/Gold both blocked another's club each.

~Flashback ends~

Zen-Aku stared at the fire, thinking.

"Hmm? Friends?" he muttered.

~Flashback~

Sliver blocked a Putrid's club with his saber, then he slashed another down the chest, then he turned and slashed the first. He then turned around and slashed a third, making it flip forward onto its back, as a giant Megazord figure appeared in the sky.

~Flashback ends~

"What was that?" Zen-Aku questioned, getting up, while looking around. "Why am I having these memories?"

Later, on the Animarium, the Princess sat in the rocking chair, as Cole, Max and Alyssa sat around the table, while Danny leaned against it - staring at them - while Taylor and Bella both stood behind him.

"Why would Zen-Aku suddenly turn on Jindrax and Toxica?" Danny wondered.

"You got me." Bella shrugged. "He hasn't been friendly with them, has he."

"And what was up with that dog?" Max questioned.

Cole put his hand to his chin, thinking, before he got up. He then walked off slightly as the others all turned to him.

"What is it, Cole?" Alyssa asked.

"That pup...is half-dog, half-wolf." Cole explained, turning to the others.

"How do you know?" Danny asked.

"I saw it about 10 days ago, during the new moon." Cole explained, pointing behind him.

~Flashback~

Cole walked past a tree near a lake.

"I was out walking, when I saw something in the lake."

He stopped and spotted a man bathing in the lake, with the same dog in his arms.

"A guy was bathing there with the pup."

The man put the dog down, which then paddled away as he washed his hair.

"I didn't see the man's face, but I did get close enough to see that the pup was half-wolf."

~Flashback ends~

"It was the same pup that ran to Zen-Aku." Cole explained. "I'm sure of it."

Taylor and the Princess turned away, thinking.

"Some coincidence?" Bella shrugged.

That night, Zen-Aku and the dog both stood on the cliff above the lake, looking down at it, before Zen-Aku turned to the dog.

"It's time for you to leave." he said, before pointing his blade at it. "Go on!"

The dog whimpered as it turned and ran off.

"Get outta here, and don't come back!" Zen-Aku said.

The dog barked as it ran off out of sight.

"I'm sorry, little one, but the path of this wolf is to walk alone." Zen-Aku sighed, as he turned around. "It is my destiny to remain friendless."

The next morning, Zen-Aku walked along the top of the hill, looking down at a valley as bird sang in the distance.

"It is time." he decided.

He brought out his dagger, his crystals already in.

"Dark Wildzords, arise!" he shouted, crossing his forearms over - holding the dagger up.

He put it to his mouth and began to play the flute.

The Dark Wildzords then arrived in the area.

The Wolf Wildzord jumped up, as the Hammerhead Wildzord flew over the Alligator Wildzord, which roared. It lowered its head down to its belly, as its back legs retracted downwards, then the feet lowered themselves slightly. The Wolf and Hammerhead Wildzords both flew around it, as its front legs retracted backwards, then the Wolf Wildzord's tail attached to chest. The Hammerhead Wildzord then attached itself to its right, while the Wolf Wildzord did the same on the left, forming the arms.

Zen-Aku then teleported into the cockpit, as the Rangers arrived and looked at him.

"We're too late!" Cole gasped.

Zen-Aku then showed up in the cockpit behind the podium, and put his dagger onto it.

"Predazord, awaken!" he shouted, crossing his fists over, before putting them down.

A head then shot up from Alligator Wildzord, then a horn extended from it as it huffed, then it raised and opened up its Alligator mouth, forming the Predazord.

"We need the Wild Force Megazord!" Cole realized.

The Rangers all brought out their sabers.

"Wildzords, descend!" they shouted, putting their sabers butts against their hands, before holding them up.

Their crystals inside lit up as the echoing music came out of them.

The Wildzords all raced above the clouds, then landed all landed on the ground.

The Rangers all put their sabers together, then held their left hands near them like claws.

"Combine!" Cole shouted.

The Wildzords quickly combined into the Wild Force Megazord.

The Soul Bird screeched, then it flew down towards the battle.

"Soul Bird!" Cole shouted.

The Rangers all jumped up towards the Soul Bird, as its six perch spaces retracted out from it, then the Rangers landed on them. The Soul Bird then flew towards the Wild Force Megazord, which turned around, then the Soul Bird merged inside it.

The Wild Force Megazord then jumped up, then held up its left arm as lighting went off behind it.

It then lowered its arms, then turned to the Predazord, which then slashed it down with its staff, knocking it down onto its back.

"Uh!" the Rangers moaned.

Max and Alyssa fell against the Soul Bird, as the others grabbed it.

"We've got to get up!" Cole said.

"I will take great pleasure in watching you be destroyed by your own Zords." Zen-Aku smirked, holding both his dagger and the Bear Crystals.

He put the Bear Crystals into his dagger.

"Dark Bear Zords, arise!" he shouted, crossing his forearms over - holding the dagger up.

He put it to his mouth and began to play the flute.

The Bear Wildzords then arrived and ran down a street.

"Black Bear, Polar Bear, don't do it?!" Taylor pleaded.

The Wild Force Megazord stared at the Bear Wildzords, which growled at it.

Zen-Aku put his dagger on his podium.

"Attach Bear Zords!" he shouted, holding his hands by his chest.

The Bear Wildzords both growled and jumped up.

"Don't listen to him?!" Taylor cried.

The Bear Wildzords both lowered their heads slightly, then they backs retracted 90 degrees. The Hammerhead and Wolf Wildzords detached from the Predazord, then the Bear Wildzords turned onto their sides, then took their places.

"Now, I will use your own Zords to destroy you!" Zen-Aku snarled, putting his hands on his podium.

Both Megazords stared at each other

"Bear Zords, don't do it?!" Taylor cried.

"Bear Blaster, fire!" Zen-Aku shouted, holding his hand like a ninja, before pulling his fists back, before pushing them out and extending his fingers.

A cannon then stuck out of both the Bear Wildzords mouths, then the Predazord fired them, hitting the Wild Force Megazord all over.

"AGHH!" the Rangers moaned.

The Wild Force Megazord fell to its knees, its hands touching the ground, as the Predazord approached it.

"Goodbye!" Zen-Aku snarled.

It raised its right arm up, when lighting went off in the sky, making it look up.

"Huh?" Zen-Aku gasped.

Lighting kept going off in the sky, followed by a dark shadow, as the Wild Force Megazord got up.

"What is that?" Cole wondered, as the Rangers looked at the sky.

Both Megazords looked around at the sky, as more lighting went off, before a figure appeared in the sky.

It resembled a Megazord, which looked like the Wild Force Megazord, but the Lion chest was Black. It also had a Dark Blue Condor in place of the Eagle Wildzord, a Maroon Sawshark in place of the Shark Wildzord, a Dark Magenta Vulture in place of the Hawk Wildzord, a Brown Buffalo in place of the Bison Wildzord and a Ochre Yellow Jager in place of the Tiger Wildzord.

"Guys, do you see that?" Danny asked.

"Yeah." Bella nodded, as they all looked at the figure.

"You again?!" Zen-Aku gasped.

~Flashback~

Sliver blocked a Putrid's club with his saber, then he slashed another down the chest, then slashed the first across the chest, then he slashed a third, knocking it down. Nearby, Red and Blue both blocked ones club each, while Yellow slashed one down the chest, when the Megazord figure appeared in the sky.

~Flashback ends~

"What do you want with me?!" Zen-Aku exclaimed.

"Remember, Zen-Aku?" the figure said.

"What am I suppose to remember?" Zen-aku asked.

"Remember?" the figure said, before it vanished.

"No, wait?!" Zen-Aku yelled, holding his hand out.

"What was that thing?" Cole asked.

~Animarium~

Princess Shayla looked up from the fountain, shocked.

"Animus?" she said.

She looked back down at the fountain.

In the Nexus, Master Org paced around slightly, before stopping in front of Toxica, Nayzor and Jindrax, angry about Animus' appearance.

"Where did he come from?!" Master Org snapped.

"I was surprised too." Nayzor assured, as Jindrax folded his arms. "I didn't think Animus could return."

"Well, he hasn't really...yet." Master Org said, turning to him. "The wolf must not get his memory back. Make sure of that!"

"I will, Master Org." Nayzor promised.

Meanwhile, Zen-Aku sat on the cliff, looking at the lake as he played his flute/dagger, as he remembered Animus.

~Flashback~

The Predazord stared up at Animus.

"Remember, Zen-Aku?" Animus said.

~Flashback ends~

Zen-Aku stopped playing and lowered his flute and dagger.

"Remember?" he said. "What does he mean?"

"Maybe I could answer that question for you." Nayzor said, standing behind him.

Zen-Aku turned around and got up, staring at Nayzor.

"I know a great many things about you, Zen-Aku." Nayzor explained. "Meet me in the forest at dusk, and I will help you."

"Ah! We'll see." Zen-Aku snarled, turning around.

On the Animarium, Princess Shayla was pacing around near the fountain, when the Rangers all came running towards her.

"Princess, what was that thing in the sky?" Cole asked, as they stopped near her.

"It looked like a Megazord, but it spoke." Taylor explained.

"That was Animus, ancestor of the Wild Force Megazord." Princess Shayla explained. "He fought in the battle of Animaria 3000 years ago."

Danny and Max turned to each other, as Taylor turned to Bella - who turned to her - and Alyssa.

"I don't know why he would speak to Zen-Aku." the Princess admitted. "Before, he would only speak to the seven warriors."

This confused the Rangers, making them all turn to each other.

"Seven warriors?" they questioned.

Later, at a soccer field, a bunch of kids were playing soccer, half in red, the other half in blue, as Jindrax and Toxica sat in the stands, looking around.

"I thought you said an Org was gonna meet us here?" Jindrax questioned, turning to Toxica.

"They're so undependable." Toxica sighed.

"So when he finally shows up, what's the game plan?" Jindrax asked, leaning against a railing.

"Since the Rangers don't have all their crystals, I figure we can easily destroy them." Toxica explained, walking off before she sat down in a chair. "Then I'll be next in line for a promotion."

A man riding a lawnmower came onto the field, mowing it, as a boy in red took the ball.

"Cut it out!" a boy in blue called.

Jindrax and Toxica looked at the field.

"Well, all I see out there is a bunch of kids and a stupid lawnmower." Jindrax said, putting his hand on his forehead.

The boy in red kicked the ball along as the other kids came towards him, before he shot it towards the goal, scoring as the blue goalie missed.

"Goal!" the red team whooped.

The blue goalie picked up the ball as the red team whooped.

"Yeah!" the scorer laughed. "Whoo!"

"Yeah!" another red boy whooped.

The man pulled the lawnmower over, then he got off it, then wiped the sweat off his face as he walked off.

"Ah!" he sighed.

The lawnmower then transformed into Lawnmower Org, his hands resembling scythes, and he had a buzzsaw beneath his eye, which was at his bottom.

"Chop, chop, chop!" he said, waving his arms up.

"Toxica, there he is!" Jindrax said, pointing at him.

Lawnmower Org turned to the kids, who all gasped at him.

"Rotten kids, get out!" he yelled. "You're ruining my beautiful lawn!"

"AGH!" the girls screamed.

The kids all turned and ran off as Lawnmower Org ran at them, when the Rangers showed up. Cole then kicked the ball away, hitting Lawnmower Org in the chest, making him stop.

"Hey, who's the brat that did that?!" he demanded.

He then spotted the Rangers, who did their fight poses.

"Oh, Rangers?" he smirked.

He sniggered while crossing his arms over, as Jindrax and Toxica gathered around him.

"Welcome to our lawn party!" Jindrax sneered.

He stopped on Lawnmower Org's left, while Toxica stopped on his right.

"Prefect." Toxica sneered, pointing her staff at the Rangers. "I'll take Red and White."

She then charged forward.

"You can have whoever you want, but Yellow and Blue are mine." Jindrax said, resting his blade on his shoulder.

He then charged forward, followed by the Rangers - expect Danny and Bella.

"Hey, wait? Why didn't I get picked?" Danny asked, pointing at himself.

"Or me?" Bella asked, pointing at herself.

"Because they left the best for me!" Lawnmower Org snarled.

"In that case, you'd better brace yourself for the Iron Bison!" Danny warned, holding his fists up.

"And the Leaping Leopard!" Bella added, holding her arms out, doing her right pose.

"Hyah!" Danny yelled.

He bent down and began kicking his feet against the grass, knocking bits out, as Bella began to charge at him.

Cole blocked Toxica's staff with her saber, then backed away, then she turned around and tried to whack Alyssa, but missed. Jindrax knocked Taylor back slightly, as Max came at him.

"Hey, hey, hey, watch what you're doing?!" Lawnmower Org snapped. "You're tearing up my lawn!"

Danny looked up at him as Bella stopped and turned to him.

"Oh, I'm sorry. It's okay." Danny said, before turning around. "I'm a plant specialist. I can fix this."

He began to fix up the lawn.

"Danny, what are you doing?" Bella asked, folding her arms.

"I just need to..." Danny said. "Wait a second?"

He then turned around, realizing what Bella meant.

"Why am I apologizing to an Org?" he questioned.

"Exactly my point." Bella frowned.

They both brought out their weapons and stared at Lawnmower Org.

"Pink/Gold Leopard Daggers!"

"Black Bison Axe!"

They both then charged at Lawnmower Org.

"NO!" he exclaimed. "Stop!"

"Huh?" Danny and Bella muttered, as they stopped.

"You're gonna destroy my lawn with those boots!" Lawnmower Org exclaimed. "Take 'em off!"

"Then I guess you won't mind if I attack you this way!" Bella joked.

She jumped up, flipped and dived towards Lawnmower Org, then she kicked him in the chest, before he slashed her left leg with his right arm.

"AH!" she moaned, back flipping away.

"Bella?!" Danny gasped.

Bella landed on the grass on her chest, as Lawnmower Org charged at Danny.

"You better take those boots off!" Lawnmower Org roared, sending his right arm down.

Danny blocked it with his Bison Axe, then he grabbed his arm.

"I don't think so!" he said, slashing his chest slightly.

He then spun Lawnmower Org around, then let go of his hand, then ducked as he tried to slice him with both. He then whacked his left with his forearm, then grabbed and pulled on it, then he lifted it up, and then he spun around and kicked him in the chest.

"AH!" Lawnmower Org groaned, stumbling back.

"Give up?" Danny asked.

Lawnmower Org slashed his right hand down, hitting Danny's chest, causing him to turn around as he hit the grass, which he rolled over on.

"Time to cut you loose, Ranger!" Lawnmower Org snarled, as he moved towards Danny.

Max held Jindrax's arm and shoulder, before he saw Max in trouble, then he knocked Jindrax's arm up, and then slashed him slightly with his right Fighting Fin.

"AH!" Jindrax moaned, stumbling forward.

Max then jumped up and dived towards Danny.

Alyssa blocked Toxica's staff with her Tiger Baton by whacking it, knocking her past her, before she jumped and dived towards Danny.

"Gotcha, Danny." Max said, as they both landed near him.

They both dragged him away before Lawnmower Org could chop him up.

"Hey?!" he exclaimed, turning to them.

He then turned to Bella slightly, as she got up.

"Remember me?!" Bella sneered, jumping up.

She tossed her Leopard Daggers down at Lawnmower Org, hitting him in the chest.

"AGH!" he moaned, stumbling back.

"Lawnmower Org!" Cole yelled.

Lawnmower Org turned around as Cole and Taylor charged at him.

"Huh?" he muttered.

Cole and Taylor both spun around and slashed him on either side with their weapons - Cole his right, Taylor his left. He stumbled forward slightly, then turned around, as they both turned around and slashed him again, knocking him back.

"Whoa!" he yelped, stumbling back. "My poor lawn!"

He clutched his chest, as Jindrax and Toxica came on either side of him.

"Who cares about your lawn!" Toxica snapped. "It's the Rangers we're here to destroy!"

"Lion Blaster!" Cole shouted, holding it up.

He aimed at Lawnmower Org.

"NO!" he exclaimed.

"And fire!" Cole shouted.

Six wave blasts came flying towards the Rangers, hitting them all in the chest.

"AGHH!" they moaned.

They all hit the grass on their backs.

"What was that?" Cole gasped, sitting up.

Everyone saw Zen-Aku walking along the grass, resting his blade on his shoulder.

"What's he doing here?!" Toxica frowned.

"Interfering as usual." Jindrax moaned, turning around, before turning back. "We had them right where we wanted them!"

Zen-Aku stopped in front of him, Toxica and Lawnmower Org, before turning to the Rangers, who got to their knees. He then held his blade up as they got to their feet and brought out their sabers.

"Hey!" Lawnmower Org snapped, moving forward slightly. "M-m-m-move it, buddy? You're on my turf!"

"Back off!" Zen-Aku snapped, turning to him. "This is my battle!"

"But it's my lawn!" Lawnmower Org argued.

Zen-Aku growled and slashed his blade down diagonally from right to left, hitting him.

"AHH!" he yelped.

The Rangers watched in shock.

"Ah!" Toxica and Jindrax gasped.

Lawnmower Org fell onto his right side, and then he blew up.

"Ah! What are you doing?!" Toxica demanded.

"That was a fellow Org!" Jindrax exclaimed.

"What made me do that?" Zen-Aku questioned, looking at his blade. "Something inside seemed to force me."

He turned left and began to walk off, as the Rangers stared at him.

"Zen-Aku, wait?" Cole asked, getting him to stop.

"I don't get it - why did you attack that Org?" Taylor asked.

"Do not misunderstand." Zen-Aku snarled, turning to them. "I was not helping you."

He then walked off as the Rangers stared at him.

Later, Zen-Aku stood in a forest near a tree, thinking about why he attacked Lawnmower Org.

"If I am an Org, then why do I attack my own kind?" he wondered. "It makes no sense?"

Nayzor then showed up behind him.

"Zen-Aku!" he said.

Zen-Aku turned around, then Nayzor threw his fan at him, as he charged forward. He brought his dagger out, then jumped up and knocked the fan down with it, before he landed near Nayzor and held his dagger near his face.

"I've had enough of your games!" Zen-Aku snarled. "Tell me what you know?!"

"Come, come, Zen-Aku. No need to get angry." Nayzor said. "I've come here for that very purpose - to tell you everything."

"Well begin?!" Zen-Aku snarled, pushing him away.

"Oh!" Nayzor yelped.

He stopped and steadied himself.

"All your secrets lie in here." he said, holding up a jar.

"What is that?" Zen-Aku inquired, lowering his dagger.

Jindrax and Toxica both ran out from behind a tree behind him, then grabbed his arms.

"What are you doing?!" Zen-Aku demanded, turning from Jindrax, to Toxica, to Nayzor.

"There are some things in this world you do not need to remember." Nayzor smirked, opening up the jar. "And I will make sure you don't."

A fly flew out of the jar, which flew towards Zen-Aku, and then entered his head.

"AH!" he yelped.

Jindrax and Toxica let go of him as he stumbled forward, then he touched his face.

"AGHHH!" he screamed.

He began to become dizzy as the fly buzzed in his head.

Meanwhile, on the Animarium, the Princess, Bella, Max and Alyssa all sat around the table. Danny stood behind Max and Bella, while Cole was crouched near the Princess, while Taylor sat by the fountain, all discussing Zen-Aku.

"I don't understand. How can Zen-Aku control Zords anyway?" Alyssa questioned. "Org shouldn't be able to do that."

"Yeah. There's something really strange about him." Max said. "He tried to protect that wolf-pup. Orgs don't have a heart."

"And why would he destroy a fell- Wait I'm smart." Bella said.

Princess Shayla thought carefully, as Cole turned to her.

"What do you think, Princess?" Cole asked.

"I saw him bleeding." the Princess recalled.

~Flashback~

Zen-Aku stared at the Rangers and the Princess, who saw his left hand was bleeding.

"Are you sure? When was this?" Danny asked.

~Flashback ends~

"The other day when we were fighting." the Princess explained.

"Yeah. I saw it too." Bella said.

"But...Orgs don't bleed." Danny said.

"Maybe..." Taylor said, getting their attention. "..he's Human."

The others turned to the Princess, who got to her feet, thinking hard.

"No. Can't be?" she said.

Later, Zen-Aku stood on top of a building, staring down at the city, resting his blade on his shoulder. He then jumped down and landed in the plaza, were a bunch of people were sitting at tables, before he sliced ones umbrella off, getting their attention.

"AHH!" women screamed.

They all turned and ran off, a man tripping over as he did.

Zen-Aku then kicked a table away once everyone left, when the Rangers showed up on top of the steps on his left.

"Zen-Aku, wait a second?" Cole asked.

Zen-Aku stopped and turned to the Rangers.

"We came here to talk." Cole explained. "We don't want to fight!"

"We know you're not an Org." Taylor said, walking forward slightly.

"It's true. You're Human." Danny said, as everyone stepped forward.

"Try and remember?" Bella pleaded.

Zen-Aku turned away.

~Flashback~

The seven Ancient Warriors all fought a bunch of Putrids. Sliver blocked ones club with his saber, then spun around, as Red and Pink/Gold both blocked another's club each.

~Flashback ends~

Zen-Aku lifted his head up, thinking hard, when the fly in his head began to buzz.

"AH!" he yelped, touching his head.

He fell to his knees as the Rangers watched him.

"What's happening?" Cole wondered.

"He must have a bug in his head or something." Bella muttered.

"I've had enough of your lies, Rangers!" Zen-Aku roared, turning to them. "I am an Org! I am nothing like you!"

"No, that's not true!" Alyssa cried. "Zen-Aku, you have to believe us?!"

"I believe what I always have! You are my enemies!" Zen-Aku snarled.

His eyes lit up as he rested his blade on his shoulder. He then dashed towards them all, then he dashed past Cole and slashed him.

"Uh!" Cole moaned, spinning around.

Zen-Aku kept dashing past him repeatedly like lighting, hitting him each time.

"AGH! AH! AHH!" he moaned. "Ah! UH! AH!"

He spun around after the last one, when Zen-Aku showed up in front of him and grabbed him by the chest as he jumped up.

"Whoa!" Cole yelped. "AH!"

Zen-Aku then threw him to the ground as he dived down.

"Uh!" Cole moaned, landing on his back.

Zen-Aku then rolled forward nearby, then got up and turned to Cole.

"Crescent Blade!" he shouted.

"Lion Blaster!" Cole shouted, holding it up. "We don't have to do this."

They both fired at each other, hitting each other in the chest, knocking each other down. They both then sat up as the other Rangers gathered around Cole, Alyssa helping him up.

"Humans are weak!" Zen-Aku snarled, getting up. "I am not!"

~Animarium~

Princess Shayla looked up from the fountain.

"Is it possible?" she questioned.

~The plaza~

Max and Taylor both tried to hit Zen-Aku with their sabers, but he blocked them both with his blade. He then pulled back and spun around as they ran past him, then they turned to him, before he slashed Taylor down the chest, followed by Max.

"Uh!" Max moaned, stumbling back.

Zen-Aku then turned and slashed Alyssa slightly as she and Danny both ran past him. He then blocked a slash from Bella as she tried to hit him with her saber, before he pulled back and slashed her across the chest, knocking her back. He then slashed Danny down the chest, then he spun around to dodge Cole as he ran past him. They both then turned to each other, then they locked their weapons together, then Cole moved closer and stared at Zen-Aku.

"Zen-Aku, you've got to believe us?" Cole begged. "You're not what you think you are!"

"I will never believe a Ranger!" Zen-Aku snarled.

He lifted his blade up, knocking Cole back slightly, before he slashed Cole across the chest.

"OH!" he moaned.

He fell down and rolled down the steps, as the others gathered around him.

"You okay?" Danny asked, touching him.

"Yeah." Cole said, getting up.

"Crescent Wave!" Zen-Aku growled, holding his blade up.

He slashed it from right to left, sending a wave blast at the Rangers, hitting the ground in front of them, making sparks come up from it.

"AGH!" they moaned.

Taylor and Cole dived to their left, Max, Alyssa and Bella to their right, while Danny fell down and rolled along the ground. He then stopped on his chest and stared at Zen-Aku while clutching it, who approached him.

"NOOO!" Danny yelled, as he began to back away.

Zen-Aku raised his staff up to slash him, but when he did, Max dived between them, making the blade hit his shoulder.

"Max?!" Danny gasped.

"AH!" Max groaned.

"Step aside!" Zen-Aku growled. "If you try to protect your friend, you too will be destroyed!"

Max got up to his feet.

"Well, I'll take that chance for my best friend!" he grunted. "I'm not moving!"

"Then I'll destroy you both!" Zen-Aku growled.

He pulled his blade back, then slashed Max across the chest with it.

"AH!" Max moaned.

He hit the ground on his back and rolled slightly.

"Two Rangers down will make my task that much easier." Zen-Aku sneered, pointing his blade at Max.

He moved towards Max, then raised his blade up, as lighting went off in the sky, making him look at it.

"Huh?" he muttered.

He looked around as a dark shadow and more lighting appeared in the sky.

The Rangers all gathered around Max as they looked up at the sky, Alyssa helping Danny up.

"It's him again!" Cole said.

More lighting went off in the sky, before Animus showed up.

"Remember, Zen-Aku?" he said. "You must remember?"

"Who are you?" Zen-Aku asked frantically.

"I am Animus, Lord of the Wildzords." Animus explained.

"Whoa." Danny said.

Bella and Max tuned to Cole, who turned to them, as Alyssa and Taylor both turned to Danny.

"It's amazing." Taylor said, as the others turned to her.

They all turned to Animus.

"Then tell me, Animus - who am I?" Zen-Aku begged.

The fly began buzzing in his head, making him touch it.

"UH!" he moaned.

Bella turned to him before he lowered his arms.

"Not again." she muttered.

"I know who I am - I am Zen-Aku the Duke Org!" Zen-Aku scowled.

"Remember?" Animus said, before vanishing.

"He disappeared again." Cole said.

Zen-Aku growled as he turned around, and then he walked off.

~Animarium~

Princess Shayla looked up from the fountain and thought hard, deducing who Zen-Aku really was, the same man who gave her her necklace.

"Merrick." she said, as she began to cry.
