We revisit the last minute of last episode, with the rangers looking for Merrick. Cole finds him. Being from the jungle, he has no medical skills and picks him up rather hastily. He also shakes him up a little, and keeps saying his name as the other rangers look on. He wakes up, and then immediately looks angered. He stands up, as Alyssa says she's glad that he's still alive. Danny tells Merrick the curse is broken. Cole holds out his hand to Merrick and says "Welcome back" and introduces himself. Merrick stands their (well, I guess they never shook hands 3000 years ago) and says he doesn't understand. He says after all he did how could they forgive him (yeah, don't they remember it was he that stole the rangers' animal crystals?). Cole is still holding out his hand. Danny says that it wasn't his fault, it was the Wolf Mask. Cole nods his hand, and then Taylor grabs Cole's hand who is still sticking out like he is getting a handshake. She holds it down, and puts her own hand over it and tells Merrick that he can now help them fight the Orgs. Merrick seems confused as Taylor says that they can work together, and introduces herself. Max puts his hand on the pile, and introduces himself as the "Surging Shark" (how about just "The Kid") and welcomes Merrick to the 21st century. Merrick is still confused. Danny introduces himself as the "Iron Bison" (more like I'm big but pretty girls scare me). Alyssa introduces herself, without saying her animal and tells Merrick they can learn so much from him. Merrick looks disgusted and raises his hand to his face so he can look at it. He hesitates (maybe he just went to the bathroom). He looks at Cole who nods, all the other rangers want him to (sheesh, he's from 3000 years ago, he's probably thinking it's a trap). Merrick puts it in slowly, then immediately takes it out, saying that he tried to destroy them in a very stale voice. Merrick holds clenches his fest and says his hand isn't fit to touch their's (in a real 10-year old-like voice). He then runs of, to the shock of the rangers.

We're at the big turtle now, where we see a gorilla statue waterfall. The rangers are sitting in a group as usual, with Princess Shayla sitting on her wooden rocking chair (actually it doesn't rock but with how old she is it probably should be a rocking chair). Cole is complaining on why Merrick ran from them. Alyssa says he couldn't forgive himself for his actions. Cole says that he couldn't help it. Max asks how could they convince him to join them. Princess Shayla says that she doesn't think they can. Danny asks if Merrick will at least be their friend. Princess Shayla, Alyssa, and Cole give long looks. Cole finally says that they should give him time.

We're on the shores of wherever this series takes place, as we hear some singing. It's Jindrax and Toxica, who are singing some songs with the lines, "We are orgs fighting to-gether". They are both laughing, and Jindrax says that they are the only Duke Orgs (what about Nayzor?). She also says that she knew Zen-Aku wouldn't last and that no one can touch them now. Jindrax is laughing along the whole time. Then, out of nowhere, we hear someone yell "Having fun?". Both turn around and see Merrick, on top of a cliff. Toxica is angered at seeing Zen-Aku, but she realizes he was Zen-Aku, as she looked towards Jindrax in confusement. She asks about what he is doing there. Merrick jumps to where they are, as Jindrax and Toxica are frozen in his presence. Merrick holds his hand out and says not to worry, and says he's still their friend. Toxica asks what Merrick what he wants and calls him "friend". Merrick asks Toxica to take him to Master Org. Toxica, thinking Merrick is going to talk bad about Toxica and Jindrax, asks Merrick if he has something to say, say it to them. Jindrax seems worried that whatever she says, will be reimbursed to them in kicks and punches. Jindrax pulls Toxica away from the confronation of Zen-Aku, and asks Toxica if she's crazy and they can trust him, and that he thinks it's a trick. Toxica says she doesn't care since "he" is human and can't harm them. Jindrax says "What if he still has the power of Zen-Aku" (I thought Orgs had some special senses as we see Merrick just walk right into their conversation). Toxica looks as if she knows that Merrick is right behind them, but before she gets a thought off, Merrick asks the two if they want to test him. Toxica says no but Jindrax says that his word is as good as gold. Then, Jindrax spots Master Org and flinches. Walking with him is General Nayzor. Toxica tells Master Org that it is so good to see him. Master Org looks real ticked as he is shouting out "What do you want?" to Merrick probably. Merrick steps out in front of Jindrax and Toxica and says "Only to serve you". He then bows his head down (suck up). Master Org just stares, as Nayzor says "A wise decision". Then, Merrick has some sort of plan as he jumps, gets Jinrdax's sword, and attempts to stab Master Org. Master Org immediately has Merrick's arm, as Master Org insults Merrick by saying he is a "Weak, pathetic, human". Merrick tells Master Org to return the four crystals at once. Master Org tells Merrick that he helped them once, and he will help them now. He says that without the wolf mask, he is nothing. He then flips Merrick over, as he falls on the sand. Merrick gets up, and says that he'll get the crystals back (sounds kinda medievilish). Master Org fires a blast from his hand just as Merrick was starting to charge at Master Org. It's a direct hit. Jindrax and Toxica seem a little distrurbed by it as Jindrax tells Toxica that they should give him a hand. They pick him up, and Jindrax picks up his head. Master Org yells that "this is going to end quite differently than it did 3000 years ago!". Merrick yells "wolf" for no reason and we zoom in on thw wolf crystal in the rocks, then "hammerhead" as it zooms in on the hammerhead crystal in the ocean, "alligator" and zooms in on the alligator crystal in the swamp (what, is he nuts? he has to put the crystals in his sword or whatever he uses to call them). Toxica notes that they're not coming. Merrick looks shocked, as he says he can't hear them anymore (well we've never heard them, so it's no big deal). Master Org laughs, and says that his zords have forsaken him and now he will show him the real power of the animal crystals. Nayzor hands Master Org the crystals. They glow when put in his hand and a green fire from top to bottom light up. Then, into a ball and Master Org throws it. A monster appears (wow, all that for just an average Org?). We see it has the four animals that were in the animal crystals, two bears, elephant, and giraffe, and Merrick is stunned.

In the big turtle, the water fountain goes off, and Cole is the first to run over. They see what is happening on the beach, and Cole notes that Merrick is in trouble. The rangers run off, and Princess Shayla is worried.

On the beach, it appears as if Jindrax and Toxica have left. Merrick lying on the sand. The new Org goes over and just swings his arms on Merrick. He kicks Merrick, and then throws him on the ground. Jindrax and Toxica reappear, as they go over to Master Org and Nayzor, and Nayzor says that he thinks Merrick's done. Master Org then points over and says that they see he's done. He then glows, and goes away, for some reason not wanting to see the action. Jindrax says that it should be fun.

We see the rangers running to the scene (once again, refusing to use their Savage Cycles as it would be a million times faster than "running". Doesn't Alyssa have a bike?). They are pretty far from Merrick, but can see him getting his butt kicked. The rangers finally morph. The rangers do their animal poses with trait, and the whole Wild Force motto, with an explosion.

We see Nayzor call the Org "Quandra Org" to use the power of the rangers' zords against them. The rangers draw their weapons and they all hit Quandra Org directly but have no effect, then the Org emits electric from his body repeling all the rangers. Quandra Org is approaching the rangers so Cole calls to combine for the Jungle Sword. The rangers use Savage Slash in the same scene as always. The attack has virtually no effect, as Quandra Org just has his back face the attack and it just bounces off (the Wild Force rangers need a stronger weapon than that). Quandra Org uses his own attack, firing from his forehead and hits all the rangers, whose weapons fall out of all their hands (must have broken apart the Jungle Sword).

Up top on a cliff, Nayzor asks the rangers if they like fighting against the power of their own Wild Zords (the rangers probably can't hear him). Jindrax cheers on Quandra Org to freeze them with the Polar Bear. He does just that, as the Polar Bear head on Quandra Org "fires" cold air. It's effecting the rangers pretty badly, but not freezing them like Freezer Org (why aren't they frozen? Are Orgs six feet tall more powerful than gigantic Wild Zords?). Toxica says to blast them with the Black Bear fire. He turns to his right shoulder and breathes out fire, probably toasting the rangers, and I don't mean with a glass. We see Merrick, who is making a sound (oahh, like his croutch hurts). Nayzor is laughing and tells the rangers goodbye. We see in slow motion Cole swinging his arms in the fire blast, just great stuff.

Now we see some tentacles, and there wrapped around Cole, and the other rangers around their necks, who now can't move. Merrick is lying useless on the ground. He's struggling to get up, he says it's all his fault and he has to stop it (he's darn right). Now, Quandra Org fires a blast at the rangers who can't move, and are hit pretty badly, since Quandra Org is firing at point blank range (why don't all orgs or rangers just have tentacles so they can easily wrap their enemies?). We see the useuless Merrick on the ground, presumably watching all the action. We see one-second shots of all the rangers on the ground, and then Quandra Org who is probably slowly walking towards the rangers. We see Merrick, and point his finger and yell "Quandra Org!". Quandra Org looks. Merrick orders him to stop (like he's going to stop). Quandra Org just laughs (as do I and probably all the viewers, another note, his tentacles are nowhere to be seen, ah, American footage for you). Merrick then decides to put his money where his mouth is and charges at Quandra Org. He has a sword with him (or what looks like one), and then picks up another one either from his boot or the ground. Taylor still on the ground (how are the tentacles still around them?), tells Merrick not to do it. Cole tries and tells Merrick that the Quandra Org is too powerful (how can they still talk if the tentacles are still around their necks?). Merrick swings his sword, it's blocked. He swings his other sword (the right) and Quandra Org somehow ducks (not bad since he doesn't have a neck). Merrick tries and kicks Quandra Org, but it's blocked, then Quandra Org tries to smash Merrick but he blocks it with his swords. He then hits Merrick but we don't actually see it since the camera goes to Nayzor who is dazzled by the fight, saying the fight would last shorter than he thought. Merrick goes after Quandra Org again, but he ducks as Merrick goes for a round house. Merrick tries a low kick, but is met by Quandra Org's and Merrick is sent backwards. Princess Shayla says "Get Out" to the tron (I thought she was talking to a bug). Merrick rolls to the ground, in-front of the rangers, who are trapped by the tentacles but no one is holding them (so how can they not get out? What about in the second episode when Taylor got Cole out of the wire?). Merrick goes for a third charge as Cole tells Merrick he can't fight him alone. He tries to run into him, but Quandra Org moves out of the way and Merrick stumbles and falls. Cole then tells him to be careful. He tries again, but then is wrapped around his stomach by Quandra Org. Merrick struggles to get free, and pulls, but Quandra Org decides to let him go and Merrick spins to the ground. Quandra Org slowly walks towards Merrick, as Merrick is unable to move. Max, on the ground, yells "Don't do it!" (to who?). Alyssa says "Save yourself!" (who is she talking to? Merrick is from the old old old days, he couldn't run even if Star Wars Episode II was playing 20 feet away). Merrick just sits their now and looks like he accepts his fate, and gets up. Cole asks Merrick why he is doing that (standing up). He says he caused this, and says he'll make it right. Cole yells "NO!", Taylor yells "get outta here", Max tells him to "get going", Danny yells "Now!", and Alyssa says "please". Merrick just looks at the rangers and says he has to do this for them. He clenches his fest, and goes for a fourth charge. He's running (pretty slow I guess, although the camera's in slow-mo). At the same time, Quandra Org is firing at Merrick but misses (he can hit the 5 rangers from 10 feet, but can't hit one person who is running in a straight line from about 20 feet). Merrick is still running, as finally one last blast sends him rolling down a steep cliff. Princess Shayla is shocked and hiccups "Merrick!". Merrick is on the ground, as he struggles to get up. We see the Red Lion. Then, we see shots of Merrick's three animal crystals. Merrick struggles to get up, as the Animal Crystals come to his hand, and his eyes are wide open. All three crystals give off a one-color glow, and Merrick says the names of them one-by-one, wolf, alligator, and hammerhead. He says that they have returned to him. Then, the three crystals from a morpher, with a wolf on it. Merrick asks what the morpher is (he doesn't know what the morpher is). Instead of following Merrick down the hill, Quandra Org walked around and confronts Merrick. Nayzor asks Quandra Org "What are you waiting for? Destroy him!". Quandra Org is about to go after Merrick, but Merrick takes the wolf shaped object off his wrist and transforms it into a cell phone. He does the same command as the rangers, as he says "Wild access!". We see the same transformation as the other rangers, except the Growl Phone is replaced by the wolf head. It's a new ranger, as he introduces himself as "Howling wolf". Pretty interesting, he's silver, with some black on him on his right leg in triangles. The rangers on the ground still trapped by the tentacles (why can't they get free?). All the rangers are amazed, as Nayzor can't believe it, and Toxica complains by saying "Not another ranger!". Princess Shayla is excited, and says "he is", and holds her fists together. Merrick claws the dirt a little. He then crawls and then somehow gets in the air just after clawing the ground. In mid-air, he claws Quandra Org twice, going back and forth. Then, he gets out his new weapon, which is unknown as he says "Flip to , sabre mode". Quandra Org is hit pretty bad, twice, and lands on the ground. Merrick then puts his weapon in sniper mode. He says it's time to get the crystals back (Why doesn't he go to Nayzor for them? He has them, it's not like Quandra Org is made out of four crystals). Quandra Org fires a blast, Merrick rolls out of the way, and then he fires again with Merrick blocking it and then firing from his sniper. He's unaffected as he fires back, but Merrick rolls out of the way and fires again (why aren't the rangers that fast?). He then jumps and fires in the air, about 10 times. The rangers are STILL on the ground wrapped, as Cole says "Unbelivable", and Danny says "He's REALLY fast" (the other rangers had other adjectives for Merrick, but this is getting really long and boring). Merrick now has his weapon in "Break Mode" I think (Merrick has a really hard voice to understand in ranger mode). Quandra Org is approaching Merrick. Merrick then gets his crystals, waves them in the air (probably to get that smelly stench out) and says "Laser Pool". He slashes his rifle or whatever it's called, as it creates a green coordinate plane, and Quandra Org is surrounded in it. He's stunned, as Merrick puts them on the green plane. He then gets his rifle, which now is a bow he pulls I guess (I thought he was playing pool). The eyes on Merrick's helmet glow, and hits them (all three, yeah, only in Power Rangers) and calls it "Lunar Break!". The three Animal Crystals go pretty fast and hit each other like pool balls, and explode as the Animal Crystals come right back to Merrick. Merrick poses as Quandra Org blows up. The other rangers finally figure out how to get free as at the same time, all rangers get the tentacles that were not really wrapped around them the whole time, off (seems as if the rangers have to do everything together these days). Cole says that Merrick was able to defeat the Quandra Org all by himself. We see green gak, as Nayzor tells Toxica to revive him. Toxica does her usual words and waves her staff, as seeds go to the gak and a beanstalk grows and the stalks become Quandra Org, megasize. Merrick looks at his crystals and says, "Now it's your turn!". He slashes another green coordinate plane, and puts his crystals on them. The background music is playing Zen-Aku's flute, but who is playing it? Is Zen-Aku still alive, in-spirit? Merrick hits them, just like in pool, and calls for his Wild Zords to descend. It's the same cips as Zen-Aku called his zords, except it's not Zen-Aku anymore. We see a moon now with the three crystals. Now the three zords, Wolf, Alligator, and Hammerhead shark come running (the shark is flying, don't know how). Merrick calls for his Wild Zords to combine. The combination has the same old Predazord combination. The zords become the good Predazord, as the horn on the Wolf head comes down. A face also appears, similar to the Astro Megazord's. Cole points out that it's the Predazord, but the evil has been destroyed (why do rangers in this series point out things we already know?). We see Merrick in the Predazord cockpit, as he puts his rifle into the slot. Merrick's next command is "Predazord, awaken!". The Predazord is ready for battle, although when it was evil, it was probably more powerful. Cole says they should give Merrick a hand, and call their Wild Zords to descend. We get individual clips of all the zords, lion, tiger, whale, eagale, and rhino and aramdillo instead of the bison (poor guy, maybe we'll see him in the zoo). The zords combine the Wild Force Megazord with the rhino and armadillo inside. Cole calls the Soul Bird, and everything is fast-forwarded. The Soul Bird enters the megazord. Then we see the same soccer stadium background with 50,000 imagainary people cheering. The two megazords are ready, as Quandra Org is laughing.

Cole says it's time for the Wild Force striker. Merrick sticks his thumb up and says "You got it Cole". Both rangers charge at Quandra Org. Quandra Org charges up a blast that extend to both of his hands, and they're directed at both megazords, but they're unaffected (it should affect the Wild Force Megazord since that is the weaker one). He fires again but both Megazords keep walking. The megazords are getting closer as Quandra Org is already out of ideas. The Wild Force Megazord charges it's Shark arm as it bites Quandra Org. Predazord uses it's Hammerhead shark arm. Both at the same time. The Wild Force Megazord now uses its Tiger arm, and the Predazord uses its Wolf, both at the same time. Now, the Wild Force Megazord hammers its Shark Fin Blade on Quandra Org. The Predazord is next as it slashes its lethal Gator Staff. Quandra Org is struggling to get up. In the Wild Force Megazord, Cole asks Merrick if he's ready, and Merrick in his cockpit says he is. The wolf arm and shark arm on each megazord combine for a big ball of fire and it's headed towards Quandra Org. Quanra Org blows up, or is short-circuiting actually. The rangers in the Wild Force Megazord call for "Final strike", as the aramadillo is kicked into Quandra Org. The megazord is in the background with the 50,000 fake fans now cheering. Merrick says it's time to bring it up a notch. Merrick calls for the Revolver Panel. The Predazord has its Gator Staff, and it brings it up, making a crescent. Then, it spins the gator thing, and creates a drill and flys towards Quandra Org, finally getting the finishing blow. The two megazords stand their, resting their arms.

Down below, Nayzor says that Quandra Org failed them and that they must retreat at once.

In the Predazord cockpit, Merrick says "not so fast". He goes down their, as Jindrax, Toxica, and Nayzor turn around quickly. Nayzor says "The Wolf Ranger!". Merrick gets his rifle out as he asks for the crystals (like he's going to give them up easily). Nayzor tells Merrick "Try and take them". Merrick says "Full Moon Slash" as we see a full moon and Merrick in the air, flipping and slashing his rifle, causing a mini-explosion with Nayzor. Merrick says to give them to him now, as he slashes his rifle in sabre-mode, but Nayzor says "Never". Nayzor holds onto it, but is pushed back by Merrick probably a hundred feet. The journey finally ends as he is pushed into a rock, and sparks fly. Merrick backs up, as Jindrax and Toxica worry for Nayzor. Nayzor is easily destroyed, as he blows up. Toxica can't believe General Nayzor is destroyed. Jindrax says "inconcevivable" (his biggest word yet). An amulet I think flys in-front of the feet of Jindrax and Toxica. Toxica picks it up, as Merrick tells them to leave. Jidnrax says "uh-oh". Jindrax says once again he has a hair appointment, as they both leave. Toxica murmurs that she'll come back for the amulet later. Merrick approaches the four crystals that he stole a few episodes ago. He says the crystals are safe (watch, a raccoon will come and swipe them).

We're on the shores now, with some pretty high waves. The rangers are running, unmorphed, instead of riding their Savage Cycles they haven't used for quite awhile. They're running towards Merrick, who is just standing their. They approach him, as Cole says it was awesome. Danny says he couldn't believe it when he morphed. Cole says he's the Lunar Wolf Ranger. Taylor says that there are six of them like there was 3000 years ago. Merrick just stands their, and holds out his hand that contains the four animal crystals that the rangers had been missing for awhile. They glow, giving off a glow that is different than what their actual crystal color is. Taylor recognizes them. She grabs her two. Max recognizes his giraffe zord, and snatches it (how rude, what a kid). Danny is patting him on the back. Merrick is the last as he puts his hand towards Alyssa (his face looks like the cafeteria lunch lady's). Alyssa takes it, and looks and smiles. Merrick doesn't smile, and says that he returned what he took from them. He then walks away, Cole tells him to wait. The other rangers catchup. Cole asks him why is he leaving, since he's one of them now. Merrick reiterates what he said at the beginning of the episode, that he'll never be "one of them". Alyssa cries "Where will you go?". Merrick walks away and says "Wherever the wind takes me!" (even to Kansas?). Max remembers what Merrick said last episode about helping Princess Shayla, and yells to him "But don't you want to help Princess Shayla?". Merrick stops. and thinks. The other rangers seem confident that after what Max said, Merrick will join them. Merrick though proves them wrong and runs (actually walks, guess those from 3000 years ago have no real athletic ability, guess that's why since the olympics would come for another several-hundred years). Princess Shayla is watching all the action.
