In a forest, Nayzor walked past some trees, as Jindrax and Toxica followed while looking around, on their way to meet Zen-Aku.

"You think that bug that Nayzor put in Zen-Aku's head is still working?" Jindrax asked quietly.

"I hope so." Toxica said. "Because if it isn't, we better get outta here before Zen-Aku catches us in the forest again."

"Let's get outta here anyways." Jindrax said.

They both ran forward and got in front of Nayzor, Toxica giggling.

"General Nayzor, Jindrax and I don't want to interrupt your private meeting with Zen-Aku." Toxica said. "So we're going to leave now."

"See ya." Jindrax said, waving.

They both turned and began to run off.

"Wait?" Nayzor asked, getting them to stop. "Why are you so scared?"

Jindrax and Toxica turned to him.

"Orgs are suppose to fear nothing." Nayzor said.

"Us - afraid of something?" Toxica inquired.

"Perish the thought." Jindrax scoffed, as she laughed. "We've just got hair appointments. Yeah."

He checked his wrist like looking at a watch.

"Uh, bye-bye." he said, waving.

"Exactly." Toxica said, as he turned around.

She turned around, before they both saw Zen-Aku approaching them.

"Whoa!" Jindrax yelped.

"Ah!" Toxica gasped.

Zen-Aku walked towards them all, as they both panicked and ran to the back of Nayzor. They both hid behind Nayzor and peeked out from behind him, staring at Zen-Aku, who then stood in front of him.

"Uh, hey there, Zen-Aku." Jindrax said, waving.

Zen-Aku got down and bowed on his knees.

"Gen. Nayzor, I give to you the Power Rangers most valued possessions." he said, holding up a bag.

"Hmm?" Nayzor said, intrigued.

He moved towards Zen-Aku, making Jindrax and Toxica freak out.

"Hurry back?" Jindrax asked. "Miss you."

"What have we here?" Nayzor wondered, taking the bag.

He opened it up, and saw the five Animal Crystals Zen-Aku had stolen from the Rangers in the past month.

"The Rangers Animal Crystals. You have done well, Zen-Aku. Master Org will be very please." Nayzor remarked, as he walked off slightly. "Without these Crystals, the Rangers are weaker than ever. You might even sayPower-less Rangers."

He chuckled as Zen-Aku got up and turned to him as he stopped.

"Now it's time for you to finish the job." Nayzor said. "Destroy the Rangers!"

"Tonight there is a Full Moon. My powers will be at theirstrongest." Zen-Aku explained, clutching his fists. "I will destroy the Rangers then!"

He turned around and walked towards Jindrax and Toxica, who moved aside as he walked past them both.

"Whoa... Okay, see you." Jindrax said.

"My plan is working perfectly." Nayzor smirked. "Zen-Aku is completely under my control."

On the Animarium, Taylor sat at the table, while the other Rangers all stood around Princess Shayla, who sat in the rocking chair.

"Princess Shayla, Animus showed up again, and spoke to Zen-Aku." Cole explained, crouching down.

"He told him, he had to...remember." Max explained, walking towards Alyssa. "Remember what?"

"And when he tried to, his head started hurting, like there's a bug in there that's making him forget." Bella recalled. "But what?"

"Last night... I had a vision." the Princess explained. "Animus appeared to me."

The Rangers all stared at her.

~Flashback~

A fire burned near the fountain, as Princess Shayla looked down at it, showing Animus in the water.

"He told me what happened 3000 years ago, after Master Org was defeated."

3000 years ago, Zen-Aku touched his head in a field, while six of the Ancient Warriors stared at him.

"I used the Wolf Mask to defeat Master Org, but now I can't remove it." Zen-Aku explained. "It's making me evil. Soon it will control me, and make me attack you. AGHH!"

He touched his head again, before he fell to his knees.

"You must destroy me?!" he begged. "I beg you? It is theonly way for you to remain safe."

He got to his feet and approached the Ancient Warriors, before he fell against Red, who caught him.

"No! We will not harm a friend." Red insisted.

"You don't understand." Zen-Aku said. "I can't control it much longer!"

He touched his head and turned around.

"AGHHH!" he moaned, stumbling away.

"Merrick?!" Pink/Gold gasped.

"AGH!" Zen-Aku moaned.

He lowered his hands, then turned around and glared at the Ancient Warriors. He brought out his blade and twirled it around, then charged at them all, as they brought their sabers out. They all dodged as he tried to slash them.

"Ah!" Black yelped, rolling forward.

Yellow ducked and ran forward to dodge Zen-Aku's blade, then Purple rolled forward as he tried to slash him.

"Ah!" Black yelped, ducking under it while running past him.

The Ancient Warriors then surrounded Zen-Aku, then Red brought out his saber and slashed him upwards across the chest with it. Yellow then slashed him down the back, then Blue slashed him upwards across the chest. Pink/Gold then slashed him down the back, then Black slashed him upwards across the chest, then White slashed him down the back.

"Forgive us, friend." Red asked, digging his saber into the ground.

Black dug his saber into the ground, followed by White, Pink/Gold, Blue and then Yellow, their crystals glowing as they did.

"Your sacrifice has saved us all." Red said. "But we have no choice."

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!"

He then appeared inside his coffin.

"Sleep peacefully forever, Merrick." Red sighed, as the chains wrapped around the coffin.

~Flashback ends~

"So Zen-Aku really is Merrick." Max sighed.

"How can we make him Merrick again?" Danny asked.

The Princess thought as the Rangers stared at her.

"I don't know." she sighed.

"If we can figure out what power controls the Wolf Mask, maybe we can break the curse." Max suggested.

"Well, that's possible." Bella reasoned.

Alyssa nodded. "Let's think back to when we first saw him." she said.

"It was in the forest, at night." Cole recalled.

Danny nodded, remembering as well.

~Flashback~

Zen-Aku jumps up and dives down in the moonlight.

~Flashback ends~

"Yeah. And it was a Full Moon." Alyssa recalled.

Max nodded, remembering as well.

"Wait? We're pretty sure the guy I saw in the lake that one night, was really Zen-Aku right?" Cole asked. "But I couldn't see his face...because it was so dark."

~Flashback~

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

~Flashback ends~

"There was no Moon in the sky." Cole recalled.

"That's it." Alyssa said.

"The Moon gives Zen-Aku his power." Taylor deduced.

"And the fuller it is, the stronger he is." Bella realized. "That's why he beat us so easily that night."

The water in the fountain began to rise up, getting the Rangers to turn to it. They and the Princess all gathered around it as the water clamed down, showing Zen-Aku at a valley.

"It's him." the Princess said.

The Rangers all ran off past the fountain.

"Be careful?" the Princess cautioned.

At the valley, Zen-Aku stood on top of a cliff, the Full Moon shining on him, as he held his blade. A wolf howled in the distance as the Rangers showed up and looked up at him.

"Zen-Aku, we know who you are?!" Cole called.

"You're Human!" Max called.

"You used to be good, not evil!" Danny called.

"You've been cursed!" Bella called.

Zen-Aku turned to them, and rested his blade on his shoulder.

"I am Zen-Aku; evil Duke Org and warrior!" he barked. "I will show you my power!"

He slashed his blade from left to right, sending yellow lighting, which hit the ground near the Rangers.

"UH!" they moaned.

They all pressed their Growl Phones and morphed up, as Zen-Aku jumped down and landed near them, before they hit the ground - Cole and Taylor on their chests, Alyssa her side, the rest their backs.

"You used to be one of us, on the same team!" Alyssa cried, as they pulled themselves up. "We can't fight you!"

"You can't, but I will!" Zen-Aku roared.

He slashed his blade from right to left, firing lighting from it, which hit the ground near the Rangers, making sparks come up from it.

"AGHH!" they moaned.

In the Nexus, Nayzor stared at Master Org, who looked at the bag with the Animal Crystals in.

"Yes." he said.

He picked up the Elephant Crystal and looked at it.

"Hmm? Very nice, Gen. Nayzor." he remarked.

Nearby, Jindrax and Toxica both peeked out from behind a statue.

"I am very pleased with your work." Master Org said.

"Thank you, Master Org." Nayzor said, bowing.

"Why didn't we think of putting that stupid bug into Zen-Aku's head?" Toxica whispered, turning to Jindrax.

Jindrax shrugged as she turned back to Nayzor.

"And now..." Nayzor said, bringing out a mirror. "..observe your final victory."

He handed Master Org the mirror, who looked at it, before it showed the Rangers in the valley, lying near some fires - Cole on his chest, the rest on their sides. (Karen lay between Max and Danny)

~Animarium~

Princess Shayla looked down at the fountain, seeing the same thing. The water then lit up, shocking her, before Animus showed up in it.

"Animus?" she questioned.

Meanwhile, the Rangers all retreated into a cave at the valley, Cole and Max rolling forward, before they got up, as they all turned to Zen-Aku, who walked towards them.

"You have to stop this!" Cole said.

"All I have to do is destroy you!" Zen-Aku retorted, pointing his blade at them.

"Then you leave us no choice!" Taylor warned, as the Rangers brought out their sabers. "We have to fight!"

They all charged at Zen-Aku, who then blocked Taylor's saber with his blade, then he blocked Danny's with it as he ran past him. He then blocked Bella's with it, then blocked Alyssa's with it, before putting it on her shoulder as he ran forward, pushing her along.

"AHH!" he growled.

He then stopped and slashed her down the chest, making her roll past him. He then turned and slashed Danny across the chest as he came up behind him, then he slashed Karen down the chest as she came at him. He then turned and slashed Max with it, knocking him down then blocked a slash from Cole with it, before slashing him slightly.

"AH!" Cole moaned.

He spun around and backed away, as Zen-Aku slashed Taylor as she ran past him.

"AH!" she yelped, falling down.

Cole and Zen-Aku then locked their blades together, then Zen-Aku knocked Cole's saber slightly with his blade. He then tried to stab Cole, but missed as Cole dodged slightly, then grabbed the blade. Zen-Aku turned slightly, before he lifted his blade up, sending Cole flying over him.

"AGHH!" Cole yelled.

He hit the ground on his back as the others gather around him.

"Cole, you okay?" Taylor asked, as he got up and turned around.

"Yeah, I think so." Cole replied, as they stared at Zen-Aku.

"But not for long!" Zen-Aku snarled, resting his blade on his shoulder. "You'll all by destroyed! Lion Ranger?"

"Yeah, I'm listening." Cole said.

"You will be the first!" Zen-Aku snarled, pointing his blade at him.

He slashed his blade from left to right, sending six wave blasts at the Rangers, one hitting each of them.

"AGHH!" they moaned, sparks coming from their chests.

They all de-morph as Cole flips forward and hits a rock, before rolling onto the ground. Max hit a wall and then the ground on his chest, while Bella hit the opposite wall with her chest, before she fell to the ground on her back.

"AH!" Alyssa yelped, hitting a rock.

She rolled off it and onto the ground. Danny hit the ground and rolled along it, before Taylor hit the ground on her back near him. They all moaned while lying on their backs, as Zen-Aku began to approach Cole.

"I have waited many Moons to avenge what was done to me!" he said, stopping near him. "Tonight is that night."

He held his blade close to Cole's face.

"Don't do it?!" Cole pleaded.

"My wait is finally over!" Zen-Aku declared.

He raised his blade over his shoulder, then lowered it down to strike.

"Ah!" Cole gasped.

The others all watched in horror as Zen-Aku lowered his blade down - Max closing his eyes and turning away. Zen-Aku nearly stroke Cole, but when his blade was near his face, he stopped, making Cole open his eyes.

"What?!" Zen-Aku gasped.

He dropped his blade, then touched his head.

"AHH!" he moaned.

He turned right and ran towards a wall.

"AHH!" he moaned.

~The Nexus~

Master Org kept looking at the mirror, seeing what was happening.

"AGHH!" he growled, lowering it. "Why is he stopping?!"

~Animarium~

Princess Shayla looked down at the fountain, seeing an eclipse starting to cover the Moon.

"Animus...you're doing this?" she realized.

~The cave~

The eclipse covered more of the Moon, darkening the cave.

"AGHHH!" Zen-Aku moaned. "AH! AGHH! AH! AGH!"

He touched both sides of his head as he stumbled around.

"AGGGHHH!" he moaned.

He fell to his knees, and then onto his chest, as the Rangers all stared at him.

"AGHH!" he moaned, turning onto his side. "AGHHHH!"

He turned onto his chest.

"AHH!" he moaned.

The eclipse was then complete, covering the Moon.

A bright light went over Zen-Aku, turning him into Merrick, who was wearing his Ancient Warrior armour.

"AGHH!" he yelled. "Uh!"

The Rangers all got up and stared at him, as he rolled onto his side. He then took off his helmet, revealing he had light brown hair, and a small beard on his chin, as he stared at the Rangers.

"Wild Force Rangers?" he questioned.

"Merrick, I knew you were the guy I saw at the lake." Cole said.

~Flashback~

The man put the dog down in the lake, which then paddled away as he washed his hair, before he turned around slightly.

~Flashback ends~

The Rangers all stared at Merrick, before Alyssa walked towards him, and then crouched near him.

"Ah!" Merrick moaned, sitting up.

"You're one of us?" Alyssa inquired.

"Once, a long time ago that was true." Merrick explained. "But I fell under the curse of Zen-Aku, and now I'm controlled by evil spirts."

"How did it happen?" Danny asked.

"Would you care explain?" Bella asked.

Merrick turned away from them slightly, then began to explain. "3000 years ago..."

~Flashback~

Animus stared against Master Org, who was different from the current one, as he was black, giant and had four red eyes, while holding a staff.

"..Animus fought Master Org in a final battle."

Lighting shot down from the sky and hit them both.

"The war with the Orgs was going very badly for us."

Master Org fired a beam from a spot between his eyes, hitting Animus in the chest, making sparks and lighting come out of it.

"All hope appeared lost when Animus was destroyed."

Animus fell onto the ground and then blew up.

Later, Merrick stood outside an Ancient City.

"I had heard tells of a cursed Wolf Mask and its incredible powers. Legends told it was in the Ancient City."

He approached the city.

"I knew it had evil powers, but it was the only chance I had to stop Master Org."

Once inside the city, he stood in a den near a large chest, heaving the lid.

"Deep inside the city, I found the den of the Org General Nayzor."

"AGH!" he grunted. "AGH!"

He kept heaving the lid of the chest, before finally pushing it off.

"It was there, that I discovered the curse Wolf Mask of Zen-Aku."

He stared at the Wolf Mask and a bunch of blades in amazement.

"The legends were true. Just the sight of it drew me to its power uncontrollably."

He picked up the mask and looked at it.

A secret door opened up behind him, showing Nayzor, getting his attention.

"You've made a grave mistake, Warrior." Nayzor smirked.

Merrick looked at the mask, then leaned back as Nayzor sent a blast at him, making him miss. Merrick then turned and ran out of the den, as sparks came out from the wall.

Once outside, he began running to where Master Org was.

"With Princess Shayla and six Wildzords safe in the sky on the Animarium, I did what needed to be done."

He threw his helmet off.

"I put on the mask."

He put the mask on as he kept running, then stopped and stared at Master Org, who growled. He brought out his three Animal Crystals, then held them up by his chest.

"Evil spirt of the Wolf, fill me with absolute power!" he yelled.

He fired a beam up at the sky from his right hand. His Crystals banged against each other, before they flew apart, then attached to a crescent moon.

"The Wolf Mask..."

He ended up in the Predazord's cockpit.

"..gave me great power, and it was the evil power of that mask..."

Master Org turned to the Predazord.

"..that allowed me to defeat Master Org."

"Predator Wave!" Merrick shouted.

He held his right fist up, then pulled it down, then put both his hands together in front of him like a mouth, before twisting them.

The Predazord opened up its Alligator mouth, then held up its arms as beams powered up on them all, then the Alliagtor one fired, with the Wolf Wildzord's echo inside. The beam hit Master Org's chest, making sparks and lighting come out of him.

"OHH!" he moaned. "AGHH! AGH!"

He fell onto his chest and blew up.

The Predazord lowered its arms, before lighting went off in the sky above it.

"By using that power, I was cursed."

"AGH!" Merrick moaned.

He touched the mask, trying to pull it off while shaking his body, as lighting went off around him.

"I couldn't remove the mask. I became Zen-Aku."

"AGH!" Merrick moaned.

He lowered his hands, before the mask merged with him, transforming him into Zen-Aku.

~Flashback ends~

Merrick turned to the Rangers.

"I'm sorry for all the evil things I've done as Zen-Aku." he apologized.

"How can we break the curse?" Cole asked.

"I'm not worthy of your help." Merrick said. "I'm cursed to walk alone."

"But if we break the curse, you can be a Ranger again, and help us and Princess Shayla battle the Orgs." Taylor reasoned, crouching down beside Alyssa.

"Princess Shayla? She's awake?" Merrick asked, shocked.

"She's the one who recruited us." Alyssa explained.

"She's the same one you knew 3000 years ago." Bella added.

"Will you let us help you?" Cole asked.

Merrick looked at them all, seeing they were serious as they nodded.

"If it will help the Princess, I'll tell you what I know." he sighed.

In the Nexus, Master Org turned to Nayzor angrily, as Toxica and Jindrax both watched.

"Nayzor, get that wolf under control, now!" he ordered, approaching Nayzor.

"At once, Master Org." Nayzor said, bowing.

At the cave, the eclipse began to move away from the Moon, making it shine through the cave slightly.

"AGHH!" Merrick moaned, touching his head. "AGGHHHH!"

He got up and walked past Taylor and Alyssa towards Karen and the boys.

"Merrick, what's wrong?" Bella asked.

"AGHH!" Merrick moaned.

~Animarium~

Princess Shayla looked down at the fountain, seeing Merrick in pain.

"AGGHHHH!" he screamed.

"No, please?!" the Princess begged, crying. "They need more time!"

~The cave~

Cole grabbed Merrick's arms, as Danny came up behind him.

"AGHHH!" Merrick screamed.

"Merrick?!" Cole gasped.

"Merrick?!" Max panicked.

"Please, destroy me?!" Merrick begged.

"What?!" Bella exclaimed.

"Please, before the Full Moon returns and I become Zen-Aku again?!" Merrick pleaded. "Hurry?!"

Cole shook his head.

"Before I destroy you all?!" Merrick cried loudly.

"No! We can't do it!" Cole argued.

"AGGHHHH!" Merrick growled.

He raised his arms up, breaking free from Cole and Danny, knocking them down.

"Merrick?!" Bella yelled.

The eclipse kept moving away from the Moon, making it brighter.

"AGHH! AGHH!" Merrick screamed, as he ran out of the cave. "AGHH! AGGGHHHH!"

~Animarium~

"Merrick!" Princess Shayla cried.

The next morning, the Rangers all ran out of the cave, looking around the valley for Merrick.

"Merrick?!" Cole called.

"Merrick?!" Alyssa called.

"Merrick?!" Bella called.

"Merrick?!" Max yelled.

"Merrick?!" Taylor called.

They all stopped and looked around.

"We've looked everywhere for him." Danny said.

"He's here somewhere." Cole reasoned. "I can feel it."

A rushing noise made them all turn around, seeing Zen-Aku diving towards them.

"Look out?!" Cole yelled.

Zen-Aku dashed past them all and hit them, knocking them down.

"AGH!" they moaned.

Zen-Aku dashed around, before he landed crouched down on top of a cliff nearby, holding his blade. He then got up and turned to the Rangers while resting it on his shoulder, Max and Alyssa lying on their sides, the rest their backs.

"Oh!" Max moaned.

The Rangers all coughed as they pulled themselves up and stared at him.

"This is where it ends!" Zen-Aku declared, lowering his blade.

On the Animarium, Princess Shayla was pacing around, thinking about Merrick's story, before she stopped.

"Merrick didn't become cursed by Zen-Aku when he put on the mask." she recalled.

~Flashback~

"Evil spirt of the Wolf, fill me with absolute power!" Merrick yelled.

He fired a beam up at the sky from his right hand. His Crystals banged against each other, before they flew apart, then attached to a crescent moon.

~Flashback ends~

"He became cursed when his..." the Princess realized.

~Imagination~

"..Wildzords turned into Dark Zords."

The Dark Wildzords all raced along.

The Predazord opened its Alligator mouth.

~The valley~

Zen-Aku played his flute/dagger, as the Rangers stared at him.

"He uses his flute blade to call the Dark Wildzords:.."

The Wolf Wildzord howled as it ran along.

"..the Wolf..."

The Hammerhead Shark Wildzord then jumped up from a river, then dived towards the valley.

"..the Hammerhead..."

The Alligator Wildzord roared as it marched towards the battle.

"..and the Alligator."

~Animarium~

"And then they form the Predazord. The Dark Zords hold the power of the curse!" the Princess exclaimed.

She touched her necklace.

"Cole, destroy the Predazord." she instructed.

~The valley~

The Rangers all had their Growl Phones against their ears, before Cole and Max turned to the others.

"It will release the evil from Merrick's Zords and..."

~Animarium~

"..break the curse." the Princess explained.

~The valley~

"Got it, Princess Shayla." Cole understood.

The Rangers all looked up at Zen-Aku, then lowered their Growl Phones.

"Wild Access!"

They pressed the button on their Growl Phones, then put it to their ears.

~Morph sequence~

The screen split into six, Alyssa's Growl Phone in the top left, Cole's in the top middle, Max's in the top right, Danny's in the bottom left, Taylor's in the bottom middle, and Bella's in the bottom right. Their Wildzords went over them all, then they all did their moves, transforming into Humanoid mode, as they held their right arms out, and their left near their heads. They then shattered into the Rangers, then their Wildzords roared as their helmets came over them all.

~End morph sequence~

They 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.

~Animarium~

The Lion Wildzord roared as it ran through the jungle, then Tiger Wildzord then roared as it ran forward, then the Leopard Wildzord screeched as it ran across the ground. The Shark Wildzord then jumped out out of the lake and dived down, then the Eagle Wildzord then screeched as it flew near the trees.

~The quarry~

Zen-Aku then showed up in the Predazord's 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.

The Rangers all looked up at it, as the Wildzords arrived. (Karen was between Taylor and Danny)

"The Predazord is really powerful." Danny stated.

"Yeah." Cole agreed. "We have to find the strongest combination of Zords."

"Easier said than done, since we've only got one left." Bella said sarcastically.

The Bison Crystal then glowed, making Danny take out his saber.

"What is it, Bison Zord?" he asked, looking at it.

The Crystal lit up.

~Animarium~

The Bison Wildzord roared.

~The valley~

"You're what?" Danny questioned.

The others turned to him, as a plum purple tiny ball rolled towards them all.

"The Bison Zord just told me that his friend is coming." Danny said. "I wonder what he means?"

They all turned to the ball as it got closer, before it hit Danny's foot, who then picked it up.

"What? This little thing is your friend?" Danny inquired.

Red eyes glowed on the ball near a nose shape.

Danny then held his right hand out, then two Animal Crystals appeared in it. One was plum purple and had an Armadillo in, while the other was aqua and had a Rhino in.

"Two Animal Crystals?" he questioned. "You're giving them to me?"

The ball nodded, before it lit up brightly, and then it flew up into the air, as the Rangers all turned to it.

"Whoa?" Danny said.

The ball then turned into the Armadillo Wildzord, which then landed on the back of the Rhino Wildzord, which raced towards the battle.

"The Bison Zord called for new Wildzords to help us." Cole realized, pointing at them.

"Yeah, looks like it." Danny said.

The Rhino Wildzord charged towards the Predazord, which backed away slightly while holding its staff.

"What?!" Zen-Aku exclaimed. "New Wildzords?! Where'd they come from?!"

"Look at that?" Max asked, pointing at the new Wildzords.

"The new Zords are heading towards the Predazord." Alyssa said, touching Danny's arm, while pointing at them.

The Armadillo Wildzord jumped off the Rhino Wildzord's back, then ran to the front of it.

"Whoa? What's that little guy doing?" Danny wondered.

"I have no idea." Bella shrugged.

The Armadillo Wildzord rolled up into a ball, then then Rhino Wildzord whacked it with its horn, sending it flying towards the Predazord, hitting its chest.

"All right!" Max whooped.

"Yeah!" Taylor cheered.

"Bullseye!" Bella whooped.

"I'll bet your Zords can help form a new Megazord." Cole said, bringin out his saber.

"Let's find out?" Danny suggested.

He put the Rhino Crystal into his saber.

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

"Wildzords, combine!" Cole shouted.

The Leopard, Lion, Shark and Tiger Wildzords got into their positions to make the Wild Force Megazord. The Eagle Wildzord then screeched as it attached itself to the Lion Wildzord's head, then raised its wings up as the Shark and Tiger Wildzords attached themselves on either side of it. The Lion Wildzord then attached to the Hawk Wildzord. The Eagle Wildzord then wrapped its wings around the Lion Wildzord, then its head stuck out of it.

The Rhino Wildzord roared as it ran along, then its back retracted out 90 degrees, then it lifted up slightly, then rotated down so it was beside the head, forming a pair of legs. They both then ran along as the other Wildzords came over it, then attached to it forming the Wild Force Megazord Striker mode.

The Soul Bird flew towards the battle, twirling around counter clockwise as it did.

"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.

"Soul Drive merge!" Cole said.

The Soul Bird flew towards the Wild Force Megazord, which turned around, then the Soul Bird merged inside it.

The Armadillo Wildzord rolled towards it in the air, before it kicked it up with its right leg, then kneed it up with its right knee, then it kicked it up with its left leg. It then headed the Armadillo Wildzord up with its head, which then spun around in the air, and landed in the right foot, completing the Striker Mode.

The Predazord stared at the Wild Force Megazord, before it jumped up and dived towards him. It then began to kick the Predazord repeatedly with both feet, knocking it back, then it flipped backwards and landed on the ground.

"Gator Staff!" Zen-Aku roared.

The Predazord tried to slash the Wild Force Megazord with its staff, but the Wild Force Megazord blocked it with its Fin Blade, then it blocked it again. They both then hit each other's left shoulder, before they moved around glaring at each other. The Wild Force Megazord then kicked the Predazord with its right leg, as the Predazord raised its left arm, knocking it back.

~Animarium~

Princess Shayla looked up from the fountain and touched her necklace.

"Cole, aim for the Alligator mouth." she instructed.

~The valley~

"You got it." Cole understood, pointing at the Predazord. "Aim for its chest."

"I don't think so!" Zen-Aku snarled.

The Predazord raised its Alligator head, then held both its arms up, then Zen-Aku held his hand up like a ninja.

"Predator Wave, fire!" he shouted, pulling his hands back.

He then put both his hands together in front of him like a mouth, before twisting them.

The Predazord opened up its Alligator mouth, then held up its arms as beams powered up on them all, then the Alliagtor one fired, with the Wolf Wildzord's echo inside.

"Move it!" Cole yelled.

The Wild Force Megazord ran to its right, narrowly missing the beams, which hit and exploded on the ground. The Wild Force Megazord stared at it, before turning to the Predazord.

"It's showtime." Danny said, putting the Armadillo Crystal into his saber.

The Predazord stared at the Wild Force Megazord, as the Armadillo Wildzord moved away from it. It then turned into ball mode, then the Wild Force Megazord raced towards it.

"What?!" Zen-Aku gasped.

The Wild Force Megazord ran and kicked the Armadillo Wildzord three times as it glowed, then it shot the Armadillo Wildzord forward. It then hit the Predazord in the chest, making sparks come out of it as it stumbled back.

"AGHH!" Zen-Aku moaned.

The Armadillo Wildzord shot back towards the Wild Force Megazord, which then kicked it with its left leg. It then headed the Armadillo Wildzord up with its head, which then spun around in the air, and landed in the right foot.

Electricity came out all over the Predazord as it fell onto its back, as the Wild Force Megazord stared at it.

"Merrick?!" Cole yelled.

In the Predazord, Zen-Aku touched his head painfully.

"UH! AGHH!" he moaned.

The Predazord lit up, then vanished as its three Animal Crystals all flew into the sky. The bug inside Zen-Aku's head then blew up.

"NOOOOO!" he yelled, as the mask shattered, breaking the curse.

Later, Princess Shayla ran through a forest, looking desperately for Merrick. She ran past a tree, then a bush, then stopped and spotted him lying unconisous on the ground, making her smile.

"Merrick?!" she said.

She ran towards him - running right over the remains of the Wolf Mask - then she crouched down near him.

"Oh." she said. "Oh."

She touched his chest, then lifted his head up, holding him tight.

"Oh." she said, touching his head.

She lifted her head up and stared at him, crying tears of joy softly.

"Merrick?!" the Rangers called.

The Princess lifted her head up.

"Merrick?!" Max called.

"Merrick?!" Taylor called.

The Princess lay Merrick down.

"Merrick?!" Bella called.

"Merrick?!" Taylor called.

The Princess got up, turned around and ran away, turning right past a bush.

"Where is he?" Taylor wondered.

"Merrick?!" Bella called.

The Rangers all walked past a bush on the other side of Merrick, looking around.

"Merrick?!" Max called.

"Merrick?!" Cole called.

"Merrick?!" Danny called.

Cole then spotted him.

"There he is." he said, pointing at him.

They all ran towards Merrick, then Cole and Max crouched near him.

"Merrick." Cole said.

Danny crouched by his feet, as the girls crouched near him, as Cole lifted Merrick up slightly in a sitting position.

"Merrick?" Cole said, patting his cheek. "Merrick?"

"Uh..." Merrick moaned, his eyes still closed.
