_CAPSULE:_

Jindrax & Toxica, on the run from Master Org, basically recap events. When Toxica learns their former master still has Shayla captive, she's concerned over what he'll do with her powerful necklace, namely finding them! They'll need to take care of this before moving on, and Toxica's already got a plan...

Above the mountains surrounding Turtle Cove, Red Ranger flies through the sky, searching for any sign of the Nexus from his winged Wild Force Rider. He finds no sign of it. In said Nexus, Shayla tries to reason with Master Org, specifically, the side that was once a human. The Org once known as Viktor Adler makes it clear, that he has gone too far down this current path to ever turn back, even if he wanted to. She denies this, that if Cole can forgive him for what he did to his parents, the world can forgive his other evil deeds. When she mentions "Dr Adler", he furious denies that as his name, declaring he needs forgiveness from no one. Out in the outskirts of Turtle Cove, the Wild Force Rangers are baited by Jindrax into listening to him and Toxica, whom all are surprised to see alive again (especially arch-rival Alyssa). In the Nexus, Master Org, using his golden electric beams, summons the spirits of his three fallen Org Generals, Retinax, Nayzor, and Mandilok, from within the central stone head (through a portal to the Spirit World). He has brought them back to life to guard the place while he carries out the "final ceremony". They do as he bids for a change. Back outside, the Duke Orgs try to convince the Wild Force Activists of their honesty in wanting to help them against Master Org. Cole's "heart-reading" abilities lead him to confirming their good intentions. So, it's explained by Toxica that the Nexus is a maze that only Orgs can navigate, and it's currently blocked by a force field, to keep the Rangers from the Princess. It's generated by three statues, which they must destroy, then the Dukes will lead them to Shayla. They'll find these statues by way of three pillars of light. Very cautiously, our heroes believe the Orgs, and prepare to search out for these pillars. In the Nexus, Master Org continues his whispering incantation, with various artifacts around. Shayla's necklace draws golden energy from the main stone head, into that weird spiked ball before him. The pillars of light appear, triangulated, in a spot in the mountains (red, blue, and green). White & Lunar Wolf Rangers go for the green one, and end up facing Merrick's old "pal" Nayzor (non-super), as its guardian. Black & Blue Rangers go for the blue pillar of light, located underwater, guarded by Mandilok. And the red pillar, atop a hill, is sought by Yellow & Red Rangers, who get confronted by Retinax! Despite how they WARNED them of this, the gang now believes Jindrax & Toxica set them up. So, while lots of fighting goes on, Master Org continues his ceremony. The necklace continues drawing power from the Spirit World into that metal water-mine thing, causing it to begin becoming animated, eventually turning into a living, beating seed-like thing, which is called the Org Heart! Master Org commands that it "live again", so this isn't the first time it's been created. Once the loudly thumping palm-sized oval is picked up by MO, and swallowed whole (!), it slips down into his chest.. and becomes part of his withered, human corpse body. Outside, Alyssa rallies Merrick against Nayzor, telling him that no matter how many times this Org General comes back, he will never give in to him. Danny finally gives up when facing Mandilok! But, Max remedies that. Taylor, reminding Cole that he's the leader, keeps his morale up when she gets taken down against Retinax. Meanwhile, the true, proper entrance to the Nexus, located against a stone mountain in a partially desert area, is revealed to the Duke Orgs. Jindrax believes the force field is down, and tries to enter the portal, only to find it hasn't been taken down, giving him quite a jolt.

So, Merrick holds off Nayzor while Alyssa destroys the statue, Danny picks up Mandilok and holds him off while Danny swims down to get the second statue, and Taylor keeps Retinax busy while Cole destroys the final statue. Once they're taken out, the pillars fade, and the force field falls, allowing Jindrax & Toxica to enter the Nexus. They have to hurry, as a series of quakes begin to erupt! As the entire cavern of the Nexus begins to collapse, Master Org, all three eyes closed and stilling indian style, begins to float in the air. Princess Shayla is stunned when Team Carnival rescues her, even giving Jindrax a kiss on the cheek that makes Toxica jealous! The three barely flee the cavern in time, everything coming down on their heads. They pass through the Nexus proper, and witness Master Org as his Adler-corpse body disintergrates and turns to a pile of sand, right before their eyes! Back outside, the Wild Force Rangers face the three Org Generals, and at first, lose against these resurrected baddies. When Retinax's axe, Nayzor's hand-fan, and Mandilok's large fork & knife are placed together, it becomes one weapon, called the Nexus Blade, which has an attack called Evil Slash! It's used on the six Power Rangers, with explosive results. Our heroes get up enough strength to use the Jungle Blaster on the Org Generals, their Savage Blast hitting the second Evil Slash, creating a virtual tug-of-war between beams of energy! It's a serious struggle, but the Rangers' willpower helps them prevail, and their blast overtakes that of the villianous three. Retinax, Mandilok, and Nayzor explode, once and for all, their own power turned back against them. The Rangers arrive at the entrance of the Nexus just after Team Carnival & Princess Shayla leap out of the crumbling cave, the portal to the Nexus sealing before them. Our heroes are happily reunited with the Princess, and hail the Duke Orgs for their bravery. With the Nexus "sealed", and Master Org seemingly gone, it seems to be over. Well, not until the two most powerful Orgs still around say it is... and they agree, sure, it's over. The pair plans to hit the road now, to find themselves. Jindrax informs Taylor that their rivalry must end, though she never seemed to have taken it (mostly him) too seriously. Danny offers them a place to stay on the Animarium, only to get silenced with a jut to the gut by Alyssa, who feigns being sad about their departure. Merrick, the longest time warrior of the bunch, is most surprised by this ending of the war between Orgs & humans. Jindrax's comment is, like most of his lines, pure gold, "Well, you might need to hibernate another 3000 years if you wanna see US again, dog boy!" Shayla thanks them, Jindrax's blushing reply of "anything for you, Princess" gains a jealous shove by Toxica, which makes everyone laugh. Team Carnival says their goodbyes to the Wild Force Rangers, and head off, literally, into the sunset. As they leave, Jindrax admits it felt good to help someone... but Toxica tells him not to get used it, given their nature of being jerks and all. He tells her not to worry, he's got a short memory span and will forget it totally by tomorrow.
