_CAPSULE:_

Kite, still hanging out in the Temple Ruins, watches on the Viewing Pond as Shayla & Merrick perform "Ode To Nature" for the Deerzord. Max is first of the gang to wake up that morning, and asks if the boy remembers anything yet. We get a flashback to the end of the last ep, where he remembered Merrick from somewhere, long ago. No answers as to why, yet. Meanwhile, in the city, Lion Tamer Org, seemingly created from a Lion Tamer's suit, plans to whip a stray kat into obdience. But, his self-proclaimed abilities to tame any animal fail against this alleycat. Toxica & Jindrax watch and laugh, with Jindrax doubting that this Org can help him get revenge on the Rangers. Lion Tamer Org claims he can only tame BIG animals. Toxica knows of 5 off the top of her head... Anyway, back on Animarium, the Wild Force Activists begin their day grumpily, since the Princess' singing ensures none sleep in. When Shayla tells them they should appreciate the song, since the Wildzords all love it, Kite has another flash of recongition at the mention of said Zords. But the pond bubbles up, sending the Rangers down to face this new Org. Lion Tamer Org is able to tame the Wild Force Rangers, forcing White Tiger Ranger to jump through a flaming hoop! Just by whipping his... uhh, whip, our heroes sit up like lapdogs, doing as he commands. Jindrax & Toxica consider letting LT Org join their Team Carnival, but first, they initiate him by forcing him to eat a handful of growth seeds! Once giant, he's able to tame the Red Lion Wildzord with ease. He even makes it and the rest of the Wildzords form the Wild Force Megazord. The WF Rangers are helpless against their own Zords, but thanks to the intervention of the Predazord, they're spared getting squashed by the Fin Blade. Jindrax & Toxica, with microphones and their names written on signs on the table they're sitting at atop a building, give play by play commentation of this battle of the Megazords. It's quite amusing, and helps make what is one long fight between a bunch of Zords go down easier. Kongazord is called, with its components attacking at first (one of the Gorillazord's oversized bananas nearly crushes Toxica to death, a joke that never seems to get old), then coming together, and soon forming Kongazord Striker mode! Elephantzord & Giraffezord are tamed, and connect to the WF Megazord in Spear & Shield Mode. Princess Shayla urges them to call the Deerzord, which connects to form the Kongazord Striker Clutcher. But the Deer is unable to use its healing powers in time, before the evilly-controlled WF Megazord overpowers it. Long episode short, the Rangers are knocked out of their Kongazord, it gets tamed by LT Org, both it and the WF Megazord team up on the Predazord, and Lunar Wolf Ranger is thrown out of it. Kite slips down to the city, pleading with the Wildzords not to fight. He stands between the beaten Rangers and the two evilly-controlled Megazords, and somehow, an intense gusting of wind appears as the boy concentrates. The Wildzords are freed of the Org's taming, though Kite faints from exhaustion. The Kongazord & Wild Force Megazords, now back to normal, attack the Lion Tamer. Isis Megazord is formed, and after a little more softening up, the newest member of Team Carnival is destroyed. The other two members are nearly next, fleeing their ringside commentator posts just in time.

Kite is still unconcious, in Merrick's arms. The Rangers are all baffled by what happened. Merrick, though, recognizes that wind gust the boy made. He encountered it once before, 3000 years ago. No more time for any more plot, time to just stand around and get matted in front of a shot of the Megazords standing in the city!
