Lina: Well, this war's as good as won! With the ShardZord helping out, we might as well be able to win this. So, where can we find a place to chill out?
Casey: There is. I work in it. Sorry, I couldn't help but overhear. I work as a chef in a little nighttime tourist trap, a special place that really is haunted.
Selena: Whoa. Casey Rhodes, Jungle Fury Red!
Casey: I wouldn't go doing that...
Charon: Really?
Casey: Other than that... If you want to check it out, you're welcome to come by. I'll leave when I finish shopping.
Charon: You think Zek won't mind if we're gone?
Eragon: Nah, we've got Mini-Bot with us. We'll be fine.
(They take their Crystal Cycles and Casey gets in his truck preparing to take off. They enter the ferry station, where the four Prism Rangers and their robotic friend meet another familiar face)
Fran: Hey Casey! I see you brought you some company, eh?
Eragon: You sure this job's the one for you? Seasickness and drowning are enough to stress out even the bravest of new ferry drivers, if you know what I mean.
Casey: Relax guys, she's gotten used to the job.
Fran: Yeah, But if you want haunted, you've come to the right place. After all, I've heard that zombies roam the land at night! Not that it concerns me, by the way.
(Lina starts to grow suspicious about the words as the boat moves ahead towards its destination. As they reach dry land, our heroes find out just where they're going)
Selena: Is that the Pai Zhuq academy?
Casey: Was, should be the proper term. Not that I know anything about it, okay?
(Lina gets even more suspicious as the group heads inside, finding horde upon horde of stray cats)
Charon: I can't even make sense of this. When people said there were hordes of stray cats in an almost abandoned academy, they weren't off the mark.
Selena: Hey, is that... No, it couldn't be.
(Jarrod is seen with another horde of stray cats, just as Casey walks over to him)
Charon: I see all these stray cats don't have any homes at all.
Jarrod: You try taking care of them all and see how it goes.
Mini-Bot: If stray kitties inside, Mini-Bot shudder to think what could come outside at night!
Selena: You and me both, bot-buddy.
(The whole group has a pleasant dinner, and gaze at the stars, At night, Mini-Bot and Selena are out walking)
Mini-Bot: Oh, some like it hot, but I like it really hot! But I just don't tolerate a habanero pepper, you know?
Selena: Oh, that's a concept.(The pair of friends look up to see a skeleton arm as the green spell appears out of nowhere as it goes and regains the skeleton. This skeleton begins restore it's body turning into a real life zombie. Selena and Mini-Bot scream in terror. Lina and the boys notice this and morph, and as she and Mini-Bot are running, Selena morphs too)
Eragon: So, was that walk worth it?
Selena: Not if we saw a real zombie!
Charon: Hey, we'll figure this out some other time. Right now, we've got more exploring to do.
Mini-Bot: Mini-Bot sure hope Green Ranger is doing better than we are.
(Elsewhere)
Braddock: You know they'll find out what you've done, even if the Rinshi attack didn't convince them.
Zek: What do you mean?
Braddock: Don't think I wasn't there when it went down.
(Flashback)
Eragon: Rinshi to the left of me, Rinshi to the right. But when I step into the ring, they know they've lost the fight!
Dai Shi(Theo): Impressive, you Prism Rangers are as good as they say.
Selena: And it seems you've been busy yourself!
Braddock: On that day the rest of your team would've been lucky to have survived. But if they're at the Ruined Academy, they're as good as dead!
(Zek gets even more worried, now that he knows the situation. Meanwhile, Selena and Mini-Bot are trying to cool off. Suddenly a green spell appears out of the sky and lands underneath the swamp water as a zombie pops out)
Selena: ZOMBIE!
(Then the green mist goes down to the ground and more zombies rise up, scaring Selena and Mini-Bot! While trying to find them, Lina and the boys run into a similar situation when they suddenly hear Casey scream)
Charon: Casey! We left him and Jarrod unprotected!
Selena: Okay Mini-Bot, I think we've had enough Zombie madness for one night!
Mini-Bot: Ferry boat incoming, must be Fran.
Selena: Then what are we waiting for?
8 minutes later
Charon: Casey? CASEY?
Eragon: Yo J-rod, where you at man?(Stumbles upon a secret passageway)
Casey: Phew, I thought I'd never find you here.
Lina: Same.
Casey: Come on! Who knows what kind of trouble those Zombies are giving Jarrod.
(As they head out, Charon notices the scenery)
Charon: Whoa, creepy place to get into a Zombie-palooza.(notices some footprints)Wait a minute, Jarrod isn't in any trouble...
Jarrod: Not as much as you'll be! You're very clever to have found our hideaway.(Pulling out two mysterious crystals)Unfortunately, you won't live to tell the tale.(The crystals work their evil magic on Eragon and Charon! Lina is shocked)
Casey: Such is life Pink Ranger!(Pulling out a similar crystal, which does the same exact thing. Then, Casey and Jarrod tie up the crystals)
Jarrod: Hu-Tai-Luma Crystals. Take a single soul, and literally pull its strings, just in time for the biggest ceremony of the year!
Eragon: What ceremony?
Lina: You won't get away with this! You two couldn't even spend months getting away with this atrocity!
Jarrod: Oh, we have...(He semi-transforms into a monster)Seven months, to be exact!(Roars. The Rangers gasp in horror)
Charon: Hah! Selena and Mini-Bot aren't among us, dum-dum. You may have another crystal for yellow, but Mini-Bot won't be easy to grab!
Lina: Still, I wonder if they have escaped...
(We soon see Selena and Mini-Bot running to the dock where the ferry was)
Selena: Fran. Man, are we glad to see you. There's no time to waste.
Mini-Bot: Why are you even here?
Fran: Change of plans, fellas. Major change of plans!(She begins to transform into a monstrous were-cat as both Selena and Mini-Bot scream in fear! Now we go back to the captive Rangers, as Lina finally starts realizing why they were invited here)
Lina: Look, I may not want to admit this, but people were talking about a treasure belonging to Mulligan Marx being buried here.
Jarrod: Don't you dare talk about Mulligan Marx! He was the cause of all of this insanity!
(Flashback)
Jarrod: We were continuing a neutrality from your ongoing war, and only asked for peace from the stars. Until that night. When he came ashore. And he brought a friend of yours with him!(Throws Dominic's Rhino Morpher down)That man drove everyone we knew into the swamp, except for the two of us. Myself, I watched as Theo got possessed by the very thing I thought was gone for good...
Charon: Dai Shi.
Jarrod: But while Theo being possessed wasn't concerning him, Casey had lost three of the most coolest friends he ever knew. And for some reason, the pain was shared by us both. We uttered a curse upon those criminals... to destroy them as they had destroyed everything we held dear. Our wish was granted, and it didn't matter if our Jungle Beast Spirit powers would intensify to dangerous levels. For we became cat creatures and destroyed that Mulligan before he and his cronies saw it coming! Only afterwards did we discover that intensifying our Spirit powers for the sake of vengeance, had cursed us as well.
Casey: Soon afterward, there came an entire platoon of reporters from all walks of media life, trying to report on our misery. Well, at least they got the whole truth...
(A reporter is heard screaming as he is being hunted down)
Jarrod: Soon enough, we stopped wanting people to come and started tempting people to come here.
Eragon: Just like you tempted us.
Casey: And I loved every month doing it!
Charon: Well, consider your record broken! We won't be drained like all your other victims, for we are...(He soon hears Fran roar)A Leopard spirit! Less regal than a Lion, but similar to all big cats in ferocity.
Casey: And it sounds like she's found your frightened friends.
Eragon: Fran?
Jarrod: Ha, figured it out huh?
(Flashback)
Fran: I don't wanna die.(Repeats this several times until Casey comes)Oh, it's just you.
Casey: Fran, I hate to admit this, but RJ is dead.
Fran: No.(Starts crying)
Casey: Don't worry, we can fix it. The whole world teased you about your stress, and didn't even care how you felt. Sometimes the most painful truths are the most difficult to remember. We've all heard you stress out. And you always will, unless...
Fran: Unless?(A leopard roars from inside her)Just tell me what you want.(The leopard roars even stronger. Now we go back to Selena and Mini-Bot still trying to outrun the Leopard woman. Then she came out of nowhere stopping them from escaping)
Fran: Going somewhere? (Grabs them) What's the matter? Cat got your tongue?
Selena: Not quite!(Kicks Fran, and flees with Mini-Bot as the werecat gives chase)
Mini-Bot: Hmm? Oh, Red, Blue, Pink! Mini-Bot glad to see friends back together.
Selena: Say what are you guys doing, charades?
Charon: No time for that Selena. Mini-Bot, laser on!
Mini-Bot: Okay!(Uses his laser on the ropes, rendering the Hu-Tai-Luma crystal powerless)Yay, Mini-Bot succeed!
Eragon: It's Morphin' Time!
Jarrod: Now I'm mad!(He and Casey transform into their full Were-cat form with Fran joining the fray, and the fight is on! Just when things get heavy, the ShardZord comes to the rescue)
Eragon: Thanks bud. Now, let's let Zek know what we know now.
(At the Core Base, Zek is worried when the ShardZord sounds its horn)
Zek: Guys! Are you all right?
Eragon: Perfect! Never been better.
Zek: I... I don't... There's something I have to tell you.
Charon: You don't have to tell us anything, Zek. We've heard enough the past two days
Zek: You've heard of what I did?
Eragon: Everything!
Zek: I thought you'd understand.
Lina: Oh, I understand. After all, you WERE with Mulligan when he killed all those Pai Zhuq students!
Zek: But I thought that wouldn't matter to you. I thought that having six fallen Rangers would be of little concern.
Selena: Yeah, well, it does.
(The others leave, and Zek feels guilty about what went down
