Homecoming
Airdate: September 14, 2002
Mandilok arrives at the Nexus. The first thing he does is revive a couple of useful Duke Orgs. | Cole saves a boy stealing food from a construction from getting beaten up by the surly foreman. |
The boy, named Kite, kicks him and runs off. Before he can go after him, Cole is called away. | The Rangers meet Mandilok, who is chowing down on some debris. |
His new Dukes, Artilla and Helicos, attack the Rangers. | They drop like sacks of potatoes. |
Mandilok and the Dukes proceed to the contruction site, but Kite stops them from eating anything. | They open fire on Kite, but Cole races in and takes the blast, destroying his Savage Cycle. |
The other Rangers catch up, and they all battle the three Orgs. | The Dukes collapse some debris on them, and leave. |
Back at the Animarium, the Rangers devise a plan to ambush Mandilok and his Dukes. | The ambush goes pretty well, but the Orgs eventually gain the upper hand. |
Shayla lures Kite out by waving around some spaghetti and a burger. | Unfortunately, it also lures Mandilok, who goes after Shayla. |
Merrick follows him, and protects Kite, the Princess, and their spaghetti. | With the boss gone, the Rangers have no trouble defeating the Dukes. |
Toxica makes the fallen Duke Orgs come back as giants. | The Rangers call the Zords, but they don't respond. |
Kite takes Shayla and Merrick to the souce of the interference - the tomb of the ancient Wild Zords. Apparently the Zords are unhappy at having their shrines constructed on. | Shayla pleads with the Wild Zord spirits, and the skies clear, allowing the Wild Zords to be summoned, and the Isis Megazord to be formed. |
Isis destroys the Dukes with a Final Strike attack. | The Rangersmove the shrine out of the city, and they pay respects to their fallen comrades. |
