Think that bug Nayzor put in
Zen-Aku's head is still working?

I hope so, because if it isn't
we better get out of here

before Zen-Aku cates us
in the forest again.

Let's get out of here anyway!

( Nervous Laugh )
General Nayzor, Jundrax and I

don't want to interrupt your
private meeting with Zen-Aku.

- So we're going to leave. Now!
- See ya.

Wait! Why are you so scared?

Orgs are supposed
to fear nothing.

- Us? Afraid of something?
- Perish the thought!

- We've got hair appointments.
- Exactly.

( Terrified Gasps )

- Hey there, Zen-Aku.
- General Nayzor, I give to you

the Power Rangers'
most valued possessions.

- Hmmm!
- Hurry back!

- Miss you.
- What have we here?

The Rangers' Animal Crystals!
You have done well, Zen-Aku.

Master Org will be very pleased.
Without these Crystals,

the Rangers are weaker than ever.

You might even say
Power-less Rangers!

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

Tonight there is a full moon.

My powers will be
at their strongest.

I will destroy the Rangers then.
Grrr!

- Whoa! OK.
- See ya!

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

Princess Shayla, Animus showed
up again and spoke to Zen-Aku.

He told then he had to...
"remember". Remember what?

Last night...

I had a vision.
Animus appeared to me.

He told me what happened
, years ago,

after Master Org was defeated.
I used the Wolf Mask

to defeat Master Org,
but how I can't remove it.

It's making me evil. Soon it will
control me and make me attack you.

( Groans ) You must destroy me,
I beg you!

It is the only way
for you to remain safe.

No. We will not harm a friend.

You don't understand.
I can't control it much longer.

( Groans )

( Growls )

( Warlike Cry )

Forgive us, friend.
Your sacrifice has saved us all.

- But we have no choice.
- Aagghhh!

RANGER: Sleep peacefully
forever, Merrick.

So Zen-Aku really is Merrick.

How can we make him Merrick again?

I don't know.

If we can figure out what power,
controls the Wolf Mask,

maybe we can break the curse.

Let's think back to
when we first saw him.

It was in the forest. At night.

- Yeah! And it was a full moon.
- Wait.

We're pretty sure the guy I saw
in the lake that one night

was really Zen-Aku, right?

But I couldn't see his face...

because it was so dark.

- There was no moon in the sky.
- That's it!

The moon gives Zen-Aku his power.

It's him.

Be careful!

( Howling )

Zen-Aku! We know who you are.

- You're human!
- You used to be good!

Not evil!

I am Zen-Aku,
evil Duke Org and warrior.

I will show you my power.

You used to be one of us,
on the same team.

- We can't fight you.
- You can't.

But I will!

Yes!

Mmm!

Very nice, General Nayzor.
I am very pleased...

- with your work.
- Thank you, Master Org.

Why didn't we think of putting
that stupid bug into Zen-Aku's head?

And now, observe your final victory.

Animus?

- You have to stop this!
- All I have to do is destroy you!

Then you leave us no choice!
We have to fight.

- Cole! You OK?
- Yeah. I think so.

But not for long.
You'll all be destroyed.

- Lion Ranger...
- Yeah, I'm listening.

You will be the first!

I have waited many moons
to avenge what was done to me.

Tonight is that night. Grrr!

- Don't... do it.
- My wait is finally over.

What?!

( Groans )

Grrrr! Why is he stopping?

Animus!

- You're doing this!
- ( Zen-Aku Groans )

Aaagghhh!

( More Human-Sounding Groans )

- Wild Force Rangers?!
- Merrick.

I know you were the guy
I saw at the lake.

- ( Groans )
- You're one of us.

Once, a long time ago,
that was true.

But I fell under the curse
of Zen-Aku and now

- I'm controlled by evil spirits.
- How did it happen?

, years ago, Animus fought
Master Org in the Final Battle.

The w*r with the Org
was going very badly for us.

All hope appeared lost
when Animus was destroyed.

I had heard of a cursed Wolf
Mask and its incredible powers.

Legends told that
it was in the Ancient City.

I knew it had evil powers,

but it was the only chance
I had to stop Master Org.

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

( Grunts )

It was there I discovered the
cursed Wolf Mask of Zen-Aku.

The legends were true.

Just the sight of it drew me
to its power uncontrollably.

You've made a grave mistakes,
warrior.

With Princess Shayla
and the five Wild Zords

safe on the Animarium,
I did what needed to be done -

I put on the mask.

( Growls )

Evil spirit of the Wolf
fill me with absolute power!

The Wolf Mask
gave me great power -

and it was the evil power
of that mask

that allowed me
to defeat Master Org.

Predator Wave!

By using that power I was cursed -
couldn't remove the mask.

I became Zen-Aku.

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

- How can we break the curse?
- I'm not worthy of your help.

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!

Princess Shayla?! She's awake?

- She's the one who recruited us.
- Will you let us help you?

If it will help the Princess...
I'll tell you what I know.

Nayzor!

- Get that Wolf under control, now!
- At once, Master Org.

( Groans )

( Bellows )

No, please! They need more time!

- No!
- Merrick!

Please, destroy me! Please!

Before the full moon returns
and I become Zen-Aku again!

Hurry! Before I destroy you all!

No! We can't do it.

( Bellows )

Merrick!

( Rangers call out for Merrick )

We've looked everywhere for him.

He's here somewhere.
I can feel it.

Look out!

( Coughing )

This is where it ends!

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

Evil spirit of the Wolf,
fill me with absolute power!

He became cursed when his Wild
Zords turned into Dark Zords!

He used his Flute Blade
to call the Dark Wild Zords:

the Wolf,

the Hammerhead,

and the Alligator.
And then they form the Predazord.

The Dark Zords hold
the power of the curse!

Cole, destroy the Predazord.

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

Got it, Princess Shayla.

Wild Access!

Wild Zords, descend!

Predazord, awaken!

- The Predazord is really powerful!
- Yeah.

We have to find the
strongest combination of Zords.

What is it, Bison Zord?

Your what? He just told me
that his friend is coming.

I wonder what he means.

What? This little thing
is your friend?

Two Animal Crystals?
You're giving them to me?

The Bison Zord called for
new Wild Zords to help us.

Yeah, looks like it.

What? New Wild Zords?
Where'd they come from?

Look!

They're heading
towards the Predazord!

Whoa! What's that
little guy doing?

- All right!
- Bet they form's a new Megazord!

Let's find out.

Wild Zords, combine!

( Roaring )

Soul Bird! Hyah!

Soul Drive, merge!

( Cheering )

Gator Staff!

- Cole, aim for the Alligator mouth.
- You got it!

- Aim for his chest.
- I don't think so!

Predator Wave!

Move it!

It's show time!

What?!

( Cheering )

Merrick!

( Groans )

( Merrick Groans )

Merrick!

( Gasps ) Ohh!

RANGERS: Merrick!

( Rangers Call )

Merrick!

There he is!

Merrick
