Dai Shi was on his throne, Camille by his side and both Scorch and Snapper nearby. The four Fearcats were kneeling at his feet.

'Fearcats!' He announced 'I have bestowed upon you powers of greatness, powers which have made you even stronger than before. As reward for this you will aid me in my plans'

The four Fearcats, heads still bowed, simply nodded in reply.

'Benglo, you have inherited the Tiger spirit' he told the tiger like Fearcat.

'Mig, you have the Jaguar Spirit' he now addressed the second Fearcat; Mig and Benglo had been the longest serving of the Fearcats and were considered by Dai Shi as his strongest additions, hence their inheritance of the Tiger and jaguar spirits.

'Cheetar, you unsurprisingly have inherited the Cheetah spirit and Crazar the Wolf spirit. These spirits will give you power like never before; now tear up the city and draw out what remains of the Pai Zhua so they can be defeated.' Dai Shi concluded.

'It will be done' Mig replied

'They're getting worse...' Fran said, worry evident in her voice as she tended to RJ.

'The loss of their animal spirits has seen a rapid decline in their health,' replied Master Finn who, along with Master Swoop and Master Phant, had arrived at the restaurant to offer their help. 'However I cannot determine whether this decline will continue or whether their will stabilise at some point; it is unheard of for warriors to be stripped of their animal spirits like this'

'How can we get them back?' Mack asked, not wanting the worst case scenario to become a reality.

'I guess they have to be defeated so the spirits return to their rightful owners,' Master Finn replied, but he now moved away from the group and closer to RJ 'It's gonna be alright son, we'll get your spirits back'

Dai Shi's Palace

Dai Shi had dismissed the Fearcats several minutes ago however they had gathered in a nearby corridor and were whispering amongst themselves.

'We have to collect the artefacts again if we're going to begin our conquest of this planet' Mig was saying.

'With the current team of rangers out of action, there won't be anyone to stop us if we revive Agrios this time' Cheetar continued.

'I'll attack Ocean Bluff to appease Dai Shi, while you three hunt for Minerva's Staff, The Root of Hesper and The Sands of Sila. After that we'll find the Octavian Chalice, revive Agrios, and conquer this world!' Benglo concluded.

The Fearcats disbanded to their respective places; little did they know that Camille had used her spirit to blend with the walls and had heard the whole conversation.

'So...looks like Dai Shi's new warriors can't be trusted,' she was saying to herself 'But I'm sure they'll still be of some use' she smiled

The TV screen flickered with explosions of colour as Benglo fired his blasters at the civilians who had begun to flee from Ocean Bluff

'Looks like we've got company' said Dom when he saw the screen

'Can you guys handle this?' Mack asked Dom and the Masters 'I can recruit some more help but I need to get back home first; I'll be back as soon as I can'

'We're gonna need a lot of help,' Dom replied 'We can hold them off, you do what you gotta do'

Mack simply nodded in response to the Rhino Ranger before leaving Jungle Karma Pizza. Dom soon followed, heading to the city to tackle the arrival of Benglo...
