Meanwhile, RJ, Lily, Dominic and Theo were handling Camille and Snapper. RJ and Lily took on Camille while Dominic and Theo tried to ward off Snapper. RJ knocked Camille a few feet away with a kneecap kick.
"Lily, we have to hurry, Casey sounded funny when I talked to him and he said that he had Dai Shi down." RJ said quickly. Camille ran to attack them once more but when she heard what RJ said, she froze in place.
"Is Dai Shi in danger?" she thought to herself. "I have to save him." She said than ran off as quickly as she could.
"Where is she going?" Lily asked in a confused voice. Dominic and Theo meanwhile were still fighting Snapper, and when he saw Camille running away, he got suspicious.
"What is she up to?" Snapper yelled slashing Theo and Dominic across the chest then ran after her. Snapper knew that Scorch was busy carrying out his plan, and he wasn't about to let Camille ruin it. Dominic and Theo stood slowly to their feet and walked over to RJ and Lily.
"What's with them?" Theo asked in an annoyed tone.
"They have to be up to something. Come on, let's follow them!" Dominic instructed.
"Yeah, there heading where Casey is anyways, I hope nothing's wrong." RJ said with a hint of worry. Then he and the others followed Snapper and Camille as fast as they could.
When Camille arrived to where Dai Shi was, she saw Casey pinning Jarrod against a tree. She leapt in the air and equipped her daggers in preparation to strike.
"Let him go!" She yelled attacking who she thought was Casey. He fell to the ground and rolled a few feet before he stopped. She quickly ran over to Jarrod to help him. "Dai Shi, are you alright? Did he injure you?" She asked in a soft voice.
"I'm not Dai Shi." Jarrod said in a pained voice as he leaned weakly against the tree.
"You're not? Then…" She began but was cut off by an evil voice.
"Camille!" Dai Shi yelled when he rose to his feet. She turned around. Slowly realizing what had happened. Her worst fears were confirmed when she saw Casey's more evil appearance and change in vocals.
"Dai Shi? Is that you?" she said in a shocked voice.
"Yes." He said in a growl-like manner. He didn't appreciate her attacking him like that.
"Then you…you…" she stuttered at a lost for words.
"I switched host bodies. My plan of possessing Scorch failed, but I got this host instead." He said presenting himself to her.
"You took over a ranger?" She said in disbelief.
"He's a ranger no more. Now he's mine." Dai Shi sneered. Camille quickly turned to Jarrod, realizing that he had his body back.
"You're Jarrod." She said softly. Jarrod nodded his head as he looked at her. There seemed to be something between the two of them, even though they weren't sure what it was.
"Finish the human, Camille. His services are no longer needed." Dai Shi said evilly. Camille looked in Jarrod's eyes and saw the panic taking over him. She could barely fathom the thought of Dai Shi having a new host, but now he wanted her to destroy the face that she had admired for so long. Camille looked at Dai Shi, then to Jarrod. She was frozen she couldn't move. It was like something deep within her held her back.
"I…" She said softly.
"Do it!!" Dai Shi screamed at her.
Meanwhile, Snapper saw this entire event happening from a distance and couldn't believe it himself.
"Where is Scorch? I have to find him." Snapper said running off to find his ally.
Camille still couldn't move, she knew that Dai Shi was her master, but she had fallen hard for this face before her, and she slowly started to realize that maybe the one she had fallen for wasn't Dai Shi—maybe it was Jarrod.
"Casey!!" a voice yelled from a little ways away. Soon after, RJ and the others ran to him. All of the rangers stood next to Casey to aid him.
"Are you alright, man?" Dominic asked as he stood in a defensive pose. Casey just nodded; he didn't want to speak again just yet. Lily looked over at him. She noticed that he looked different. She thought his hair was different and had an evil look on his face.
"Are you sure?" Lily asked giving him a strange look. Casey just nodded hard and had n annoyed look on his face. Lily never saw him act like this before. It wasn't like him.
"Whoa! Did Camille turn on Dai Shi?!" Theo yelled pointing to Camille and Jarrod.
"No way!" Lily commented. RJ scanned the area. He could tell something was wrong—very wrong.
"Something isn't right here." RJ said looking around. Casey chuckled evilly.
"Nothing gets by you does it, Wolf Master?" Dai Shi said evilly as he heaved a purple orb at the rangers. All of the rangers crashed to the ground.
"What just happened here?!" Dominic yelled using his Morpher as leverage to stand.
"We just got blind sided!" Theo yelled angrily.
"By Casey?" Lily said in disbelief. Casey stood before the others grinning evilly.
"Oh no." RJ said lowly to himself. He hoped that what he thought had happened didn't. "I don't think that's Casey, you guys." RJ said worriedly.
"What? Then who is it?!" Theo asked.
"Dai Shi." RJ answered with a gulp. All the rangers let out a gasp of shock.
"Like I said, nothing gets past the Wolf Master." Dai Shi teased. He made his way over to them, "I shouldn't have doubted you."
"Come back to us, Casey! Don't let Dai Shi control you!" RJ yelled trying desperately to get through to his friend.
Dai Shi chuckled. "Casey is long gone. He's my host now." Dai Shi sneered. Then he turned back to Camille. "Camille!" he yelled, slowly losing his patience. She jumped as she looked back at him. "Leave this human for later. We have some business to attend to." He ordered. Camille looked over at Jarrod one more time.
"Thank you." Jarrod said softly. Camille nodded hesitantly then joined Dai Shi's side no matter how much she wanted to stay.
"Until we meet again, rangers." Dai Shi said with an evil chuckle, then the pair of them teleported away. Afterwards, the team made it to their feet and powered down. Hey saw Jarrod lying against the tree and quickly ran over to him. He was very pale and his breathing was labored signaling that he was badly hurt.
"Is that you, Jarrod?" RJ asked leaning down to his level.
"Yes." He answered weakly.
"What happened?" Theo asked.
"I fought Dai Shi for control. It became to much for him so he found another host." Jarrod explained.
"What happened to Casey?!" Lily said in a demanding voice.
"He—" Jarrod began but cried out loudly from his injuries.
"He's hurt, we need to get him some help." RJ instructed.
"What? But he's our enemy! We can't trust him!" Lily yelled angrily.
"You can, I promise! You have to believe me." Jarrod said.
"Dai Shi is our enemy, Lily and Jarrod is clearly free of him." Dominic told her. Lily just rolled her eyes in protest.
"Can you stand?" RJ asked. When Jarrod made it to his feet, he collapsed into unconsciousness. RJ caught him as he fell forward. "Let's take him to the loft." RJ said.
"You're joking right? You're brining him to the loft?" Lily yelled.
"Lily, I know that you're upset about Casey, but he may be able to tell us stuff that we need to know to save him." Theo told her as he petted her shoulder. Lily just nodded in defeat sadly.
"Let's go." RJ said as he and Dominic grabbed each of his arms to carry him back to the loft. Lily walked behind them. She couldn't believe what was happening. Casey was gone, and now they were saving Jarrod.
