Unfinished Business
Airdate: September 14, 2002
Deep in the forest, the spirit of Zen-Aku emerges from the darkness. | Merrick spends some time learning new pool tricks from Willy. |
His wolf sense calls him away, and he finds himself face to face with his worst nightmare. | He morphs and engages in an epic battle between good and evil. |
Shayla calls the other Rangers and has them meet Merrick to help him out. When they arrive, Merrick tells them not to interfere in his fight. | Zen-Aku tells Merrick that he no longer needs a host to live in this world, but still desires to merge with Merrick for ultimate power. |
Alyssa morphs and zips Merrick out of harm's way, and into the water. | The remaining four battle Zen-Aku, and get beaten up, just like old times. |
Merrick yells at Alyssa, not wanting her help. She tries to talk to him but he rushes off. | He leaps towards Zen-Aku, and the two strike each other,sending them off a cliff, nowhere to be found. |
Alyssa grabs Merrick's fallen wolf crystal, as she worries about him. | Zen-Aku sneaks up on Merrick as he tends to his wounds. |
He evades Zen-Aku and morphs. The two continue their fight. | At the Animarium, the Wolf Zord calls out to the Rangers to follow him. |
It's already morning, and Zen-Aku has bested Merrick. | The Wolf Savage Cycle speeds in and knocks back Zen-Aku. |
The Rangers aren't far behind. They convince Merrick to work as a team. | As a team, they weaken Zen-Aku enough for Merrick to take him down. |
When Zen-Aku grows into a giant, the Rangers call on the Wild Force Megazord and Predazord. | The Wild Force Megazord tries a final strike, but Zen-Aku catches it and hurls it back at them |
Merrick uses the pool move Willy taught him, sending the Armadillo down and up towards Zen-Aku's face. | The Armadillo trashes Zen-Aku's face, knocking the horn right off his head. |
A Revolver Phantom later, and Zen-Aku is toast. | The Rangers rejoice, and urge Merrick to join them at a party. |
The Rangers throw a bash at the Animarium, but Merrick never shows. | He celebrates by racking 'em up with Willy at the Road House. |
