The four rangers were running away from a giant golden ball looking thing,
"This way" shouted Theo.
The Rangers were out of breathe, having ran away from the gold ball.
"Got to get fit, no more free rides from my zord." panted Destiny as she ran.
The giant ball hit each one and sent them flying.
"Watch out." shouted Casey as he got to his feet and attacked the rolling ball.
All four dodge the rolling ball, then the ball unrolled and roars.
"You think your others fights have been tough? I show you tough." the gold creature laughed.
"Let's Go ha." growls Lily.
All of them summon their weapons, Theo and Lily fought together and were thrown at Casey and Destiny's feet
"Guys, he wasn't kidding about being tough!" Casey exclaims
"Our weapons didn't even scratch him!" replies Lily
Destiny stared at the newest monster of the day
'I know what that thing is' Destiny thought
"That's because nothing can get though my armor!" pangolin exclaimed
Camille stepped out from where was she was hiding, "Never mind about the brats, You're here to clear out the city"
"Now get to it." she snapped.
"I'm all over this" replied the creature then grew huge.
"Zord Time!" ordered the Red Ranger,
"Animal spirits unite!" shouts the Rangers
Flit buzzed near Camille "Oh it looks like the fight is on,"
Each Zord combined "Jungle Pride Megazord"
"The Rangers form the Jungle Pride Megazord and are ready to rumble."
Casey throws a punch and brings back his hand groaning in pain.
"The creature's scales are tough as nails!" Flit exclaims
"Rolling attack!" shouted the Creature.
Lily looks over at her teammates "This calls for a Megazord Savage Spin!"
"All this spinning is making me dizzy" Flit stated then fell to the ground dazed
The Savage Spin had no effect on the creature's armor.
"I think I'm gonna be sick" both Pink and Blue Rangers stated in unison.
"Not in your helmets, Theo, Des!" replies Lily.
The rangers were forced out of the Megazord, yelling as they landed in a park lot.
"I thought cats were supposed to land on their feet." Destiny groaned as she tried to stand up.
Flit dazed on the ground, "All that twirling....I don't feel so good."
"He got away!" stated Casey,
The rangers pick themselves up and head back to JKP.
~~~~JKP loft~~~
"Talk to me, team." RJ stated as the Rangers came in and stood next to the monitors.
"So then this giant anteater..." Lily began,
"Hedgehog." Casey interrupted
"I thought it was an artichoke with legs." Theo stated.
Destiny rolled her eyes and sighed "It was a Pangolin."
RJ nodded at his sister, who was right by him.
"Pango-what?" asks Theo, the look on his face was like 'how on earth did you know this'
"A Pangolin, the name means something that rolls up. It has plate-like armor that is almost impossible to break through." RJ explained.
"We found that out the hard way, none of our weapons worked." Lily replied bummed.
"Listen and learn, young Cheetah. I said almost impossible" RJ chastised "You just don't have the right weapon."
"You mean there's something that might work?" asks Theo, who was holding a spear like weapon.
"There's a legend in the Order of the Claw about a Master who wielded a weapon that could break though steel" RJ answered.
A light bulb clicked inside Destiny's head, "You don't mean who I think you do?"
"You remember his name?" RJ asked
Destiny grinned and nodded, "Of course, his name is Master Phant." She used to spend moonlit nights in the Temple library reading about past Masters.
"Okay, so we just call this Master Phant dude, and ask him to borrow his weapon. Done deal." Casey states.
RJ and Destiny glanced at each other, then Destiny spoke "Deal not done."
"When Master Phant retired, he moved to a remote forest to live a life of solitude, No one's heard from him in years," RJ explains.
"Wonder why he dropped off the grid?" asks Theo
Destiny shrugged
"No one knows but he's lost all contact with the Order of the Claw." RJ replied.
"Well the Order of the Claw is about to contact him" Lily stubbornly stated "Come on guys, We're going to find Master Phant."
~~~Remote forest~~~
The four were walking well Destiny was jumping from boulder to boulder.
Theo grunts, "This is ridiculous, are we almost there?"
Casey was in the lead, that is unless you counted Destiny on the boulder next to him.
"What's the matter, is the mighty Jaguar getting tired?" asks Casey
"No!, the the mighty jaguar is getting eaten alive by mighty mosquitoes!" replied Theo
Destiny laughed "I told you to use bug spray."
"Chill, T, we're almost there. Let's keep focused on our mission. Okay?" Lily stated being the voice of reason.
"Okay guys, break time's over. Let's go" Casey stated.
"No problem there this forest is giving me the creeps" Theo agreed.
"I'm waiting for the evil space ninjas to appear!" destiny exclaimed as they walked some, she couldn't help the feeling of being watched.
"Come on" Casey reminded.
Lily was in was in front now, "come guys, let's keep going."
"Yeah, let's hike then we can hike some more" Destiny complained.
"I think we're almost there, stick close to each other" Lily stated.
A cloaked and masked man making the Rangers jump in surprise, Destiny being the only one who can sensed who he was jump onto a rock to watch.
She watched as Master Phant kicked her friends butts.
"You are not wanted here! Go away!" shouted Master Phant then he leaves.
"What was that about?" asks Theo
"The welcome party?" replies Destiny.
The came to a run down old shack.
"What a dump, Don't tell me a Pai Zhuq Master lives here." Theo complains.
"Theo is there anything you don't complain about?" asks Destiny.
"Well there's only one way to find out." Casey replied to Theo.
The four walked up to the dilapidated house.
'This is just great one of the older Masters who know the truth about me.' Destiny thought as she followed Lily up the stairs.
Lily knocked on the door then opened it, "Hello? Anyone here?"
"Yes" replies a voice, Destiny peered into a corner and seen Master Phant, sitting in a chair.
"We're looking for Master Phant?" Lily explains.
"I was once known by that name." replied Master Phant "why do you disturb my solitude?"
The four students bow to the Master,
"Master, we need your help." Casey explains, Destiny nods then gave him a look that begged him not to say anything about her father.
"Impertinent children, you were not invited here. Leave me be." Master Phant ordered.
"No, Please. We're not children. We're students of the Order of the Claw." Lily quickly explains
Master Phant looks at them like he believe them but changed his mind, "I see, well that's no matter to me."
"Really?" asks Destiny, she couldn't believe a Great Master turned into a bitter grouch
"Well if you really were a Pai Zhuq Master, it might matter to you that Dai Shi has escaped" Theo pointed out.
Master Phant stood up with a shocked look on his face. "What? No, No that cannot be."
"Yeah, they should have put a lock on that box." Destiny replied.
"It's true, and we're the new guardians, who are trying to stop him." Casey adds
"Well, that is unfortunate, but there is nothing I can do to help you." Master Phant replied.
"Yes there is. We need you to teach us how to your special weapon." Lily argued
"The jungle mace? I haven't even looked at it in years." Master Phant thought outloud then looked at the Rangers. "Its the weapon of a warrior not a useless old man."
Theo walked past and picked the cloak up. "Useless my foot, you're the one who kicked our tails before."
Master phant grabbed the cloak "I do not tolerate intruders"
Theo stumbled back but Destiny and Casey caught him before he could fall.
"I just want to be left alone, to live out my life in peace." Master phant stated.
Theo glared at Phant and grabbed his pack and stormed out. Destiny shook her head and turned.
"You were kind to my mom, I don't want to know why you stopped" Destiny stated then left.
Once outside, Theo started complaining again. "Can you believe this guy? He's the only one that can help us and all he does is sit around feeling sorry for himself."
Destiny nodded in agreement.
"Theo, He's a Pai Zhuq Master show some respect" Lily replied
"I'm with Theo on this one, Master or not. I'm not going to stand here and beg for his help when people are in danger." Casey agreed
Destiny sighed "Sorry Lil, but I with the guys."
"I'm sorry, there is nothing I can do." Master Phant stated as he finished gathering logs from the wood pile.
The morphers starting beeping. All four Rangers looked at them.
"Come on, guys." Theo stated.
Three of the four rangers started off then stopped
"Lil, you coming." asks Theo.
"No" lily replied turning around "Master Phant is going to show me how to use that Jungle Mace."
Master phant looked at her. "Stubborn girl. I said no."
"And I say I'm not leaving until you do." Lily replied.
The three smiled and ran off.
~~~~Ocean Bluff~~~~
Pangolin in his red-robed Rinshi form, was kneeling on the ground.
"This is the perfect spot. I'll drill right into the fault line." he stated then looked up as Camille walked up.
"Yes, but hurry up before the Rangers find out our plan" Camille replied
"Too late." the red ranger shouted as the he and the others jumped in to stop them.
"What?" asks Pangolin.
"I knew it." Camille sneers
Theo and Casey double teamed Camille. Camille fought them and pinned their arms and turned. "Hurry, Pangolin."
"Yes!" replies Pangolin
"What?" repeats the Rangers as they watch Pangolin jump into the air and transform, then he began to drill into the ground.
Camille pushes the two off, and Rinshi appear.
"Rinshi!" Casey states.
Destiny turned just in time to see Camille in her armor charging.
"I don't think so." Destiny snarled then she got her twin daggers out and fought Camille.
~~~~With Lily~~~~~
Lily was kneeling on the ground with a spade in hand.
"Hey! What are you doing in my yard?" asked Master Phant
Lily turn to him "Trying to cheer this place up a bit."
"I don't want cheery, I hate cheery." Master Phant replied.
"Were you this grouchy when you were a Pai Zhuq Master?" Lily asked "Because if you were I'm glad you weren't my teacher."
"You would have been lucky to have been my student" replies Master Phant "I was one of the Greatest of the all the Masters."
"Then prove it, Teach me how to use the jungle mace." Lily counters.
"Those days are over, when I was a Pai Zhuq Master, there was purpose to my life" Master Phant replies "then they put me out to pasture, what have I got to live for now? Nothing."
"That's not true, that great master is still inside of you somewhere, I know it is. Even Alexi knew it, or so Destiny said." Lily argued
Master Phant looked like he was going to change his mind, "Don't bother with the flowers, they will only die." he went back inside.
Lily turned shaking her head and went back to the garden. A second later she screams when an explosion sent her flying backward. She looks up as Rinshi appear.
The Rinshi start attacking but lily rolls out of the way, she got to her feet and begins to fight them off.
"No" Master Phant states as he watched Lily fight the Rinshi, he turned to a chest with an elephant insignia carved into it.
An elephant's roar sounding caused the Rinshi to pause in their attack then the elephant spirit charged destroying most of the Rinshi.
Lily gasped as Master Phant walked out with the Jungle Mace in hand.
"Get away from my student." orders the Master, causing Lily to smile. Rinshi attacked but Phant fought them with Mace destroying them all.
Lily jumped to her feet and went to stand next to her new Master.
"We don't have much time." stated Master Phant.
~~~~~JFP~~~~
"Jungle Tong fa!" Theo summoned as he fought the Rinshi off.
"Ranger!" Camille jumped at Destiny. The Pink Ranger mostly dodged and blocked most of Camille's attacks. Camille slashes at Destiny's unguarded stomach causing sparks to fly from the suit, Destiny fell to the ground in pain.
"Junglechuks" Casey called as he fought the Rinshi,
"With the Strength of a Tiger, Strike Rider Cruise!" Casey summoned his bike, armor appear on his body, "Let's ride, Full Throttle"
"Tiger Strike!" Casey's bike sent out energy blasts "Strike Rider High Speed"
Destiny groaned in pain, and stands up to get back into the fight. Theo came to help.
"Fire!" Camille shouts, sending energy darts at Theo and Destiny, they scream as the blast sends them flying
"What?" groans Destiny and Theo
"You're mine, Rangers!" Camille, moving in the fallen rangers.
Casey runs in to take the blast, "Back Off"
The blast sends Casey to the ground
"Casey!" calls Destiny seeing her Red Ranger on the ground.
"It's been fun. But now it's time to say bye-bye, kitties" Camille tauted
"Jungle Mace!" lily fully morphed calls
"Lily!" exclaims both Casey and Destiny.
"She's back." states Theo.
"Yeah! It wouldn't be a party without me." Lily replies then glares at Camille "Let's dance!" she then fought Camille head on.
"Theo!" exclaims Lily as Theo blocked Camille's energy darts.
"No, you don't" Casey shouted as he spin kicked Camille.
"Lily! Hurry!" Destiny called as she began her own attack on Camille
"Pangolin went down that hole." finished Theo
"Don't worry, I'll take care of him." Lily replies while swinging the mace around, she turn to face the hole that pangolin dug. "You can run, but you can't hide."
She threw the mace down the hole, like fishing, then flicked her wrist
"Yeah! I got a bite!" Lily stated as she pulled Pangolin out of the hole.
"No! I haven't reached the fault line yet." complained Pangolin.
The others fought Camille neither of them getting the upper hand.
"Hey! Over here" Lilly called to Pangolin.
"Why you little pest!" pangolin exclaims
"This little pest is big trouble." replies Lily
"Less talking more fighting, I want to get back before Judge Jamie." Destiny yells as she ducked under Camille's attack.
"Jungle Mace!" Lily called as she twirled the mace around, she threw it at Pangolin destroying his armor.
"Your armor's not so tough." taunted Lily
The others ran over to lily.
"Nice one, Lil." Red Ranger stated.
"Totally awesome," agreed Pink
"You got the Jungle Mace, No Way!" exclaims Blue.
"Even though Master Phant gave up on himself, I didn't" yellow replies
The Rangers gasp and take fighting stances as Pangolin growls and glows purple.
"Ready for the big time guys?" asks yellow.
"Yeah!" replies red.
"Totally" agrees Blue
"Sure am" seconds Pink.
"Animal Spirits Unite as one!" The Rangers shout, The spirits form the Megazord.
"Jungle Pride Megazord!"
"Yeah! I'm ready for this." exclaims yellow
Flit buzzed "the Rematch! This is gonna be good."
"Get lost, before I put you in a jar." replies Camille
flit yelps "How about that fight? Pangolin is rock hard and ready to roll"
"Oh That's a strike"
Pangolin sends the Jungle Pride Megazord to the ground.
"Now What do we do?" asks Casey
"Lily, channel the spirit of the elephant to fight your opponent."
"I hear you Master Phant, Master Phant" Lily replies.
"use my technique, I know you can do it."
"Yes Master, I'll try" Lily thought "Come on, guys."
Lily stands up and the others look at her from where they were sitting on the floor of the cockpit, "We're going to use the Elephant Technique"
The others stand, all four put their right hand over their left fist and began to concentrate, glowing Yellow, Pink, Red, and Blue.
"Calling on the Spirit of the Elephant! Jungle Fury!"
The Megazord follows the movements and glows green and an Elephant Zord appears trumpeting.
"They have a new animal spirit! Thats not fair!" exclaims Camille.
"It looks like the Rangers are back in business" Flit stated.
"Ha! Elephant attack!" The Rangers commanded
The Elephant charged at Pangolin hitting him with a green and black ball.
"Spirit of the Elephant, Combine!" The Rangers shout. The Elephant spirit combines with the Megazord.
"Jungle Pride with Elephant Power!"
Pangolin roars. The megazord held a mace.
"Jungle Mace! Now." The Rangers summoned.
The Megazord swings the Mace and attacks Pangolin,
"Ow! The Jungle Mace has put him in his place, I thought that technique was lost forever!" flit stated
"You can't defeat me! Pangolin Rolling Attack!"
"Follow My lead guys." Lily stated.
"Jungle Mace, Spin Attack!" The rangers launch their new attack.
"And the Rangers wind up..."
The megazord hits Pangolin repetitively,
"HA"
"Against all odds, They broke the rolling attack."
"You destroyed my shiny armor, Oh the Shame." Pangolin states before turning to stone and exploding.
"All Right!" The Rangers Cheer.
Flit chuckles "Did you see that."
"Yes, I'm just glad Dai Shi wasn't here to see it." Camille replies before she lashed out her tongue and shallows,
"What'd I say?" asks Flit was inside.
"Jungle Pride Megazord!"
"Thank you, Master Phant, you're the greatest!" Lily thought
"Thank you for believing in me."
The Rangers were in front of the newly touched up house,
"Now, This is a place fit for a Pai Zhuq Master," Theo stated holding a paint brush in hand.
"Sure all it took was a coat of paint and a major dusting." Destiny replies.
Theo stuck his tongue out at her,
"Yeah, I think we did a pretty good job." Casey stated.
"Compared to before, Yes we did." Destiny yielded
"Guys, here he comes!" Lily exclaims
Master Phant walked up and looked confused.
"What is this?" He asks
"A little Thank you present." replies Lily
"Wait till you see the inside." Destiny chirps
Lily led Master Phant up the steps, the inside had light filling the room, fresh wild flowers in vases, the books were neatly stacked,
"Well, Master, What do you think?" asks Lily,
Destiny stood in the back with the others, she wanted to know why Master Phant changed his mind.
"It seems in this case, the Master has learned from the student." Master Phant answered.
"It was an honor, and we may need your help sometime, so don't forget to keep in touch." replies Lily.
Master Phant chuckles "I have the spirit of the Elephant, I remember everything."
Dai Shi walked out of a forest, a bracelet glows.
"Sky Overlord, this is where you fell in battle, Now will live again and teach me your dark ways."
Dai Shi morphs into his lion armor and laughs.
The rangers were just leaving Master Phant's house, Destiny was lagging behind.
"Destiny?" asks Master Phant before she was out of earshot.
Destiny turned around "Yes,"
"You have questions, I can see it." Master Phant stated.
"Just one, What made you change your mind?" replied Destiny, looking at the Master.
"Lily has a stubborn streak that reminds me of someone." Master Phant answered,
"Who?" asks Destiny
Master Phant smiled and went over to the chest and pulled out an envelope, that was yellowed around the edges.
"the person that Lily reminds me of, is Alexi." Master Phant explained.
"My mother." Destiny whispered, so that would mean her mother was a student of Master Phant.
"She left this with me, when she found out about the cancer, she knew I would see you again someday." Master Phant explained holding on the letter,
Destiny took the letter,
"Destiny hurry up." called Casey.
"Coming"
