Back at Dai Shi's temple, Rammerhead entered dragging Casey closely behind him. Dai Shi sat on his throne. As he saw Rammerhead enter with Casey, and evil grin spread wide across his face.
"I have a present for you, Dai Shi!" Rammerhead said proudly, throwing Casey forward before Dai Shi's throne. Dai Shi looked a little surprised.
"What's this? The little tiger was caught? What a shame." Dai Shi said evilly as he peered down at Casey. Casey looked up at him with hatred.
"He surrendered himself to save another human—pathetic." Rammerhead scoffed.
"How ignorant. And what's this? The mighty tiger was injured?" Dai Shi said grabbing for Casey's bandage, but Casey smacked his hand away. Dai Shi let it go and walked a few feet away. "Welcome to my humble abode." Dai Shi said spreading his arms out, gesturing the temple. Casey just glared at him.
"Who are you?" Casey asked disgustedly. He was getting sick of asking that question. Dai Shi whipped around upon hearing Casey's words.
"What? You've forgotten me already?" Dai Shi said, amused at the whole ordeal.
"Apparently my little attack earlier caused him to lose his memory—go figure." Rammerhead chimed in. Dai Shi laughed. He was loving this.
"How sad." Dai Shi said sarcastically as he slithered his way back to Casey, who remained on the ground. "By the time I'm done with you, you'll wish you could forget again." Dai Shi said, his tone now turning cold. Dai Shi turned his back to Casey once again. "Oh, and to answer you're earlier question…" Dai Shi began as he secretly prepared a purple orb of energy, "…the name's Dai Shi!" he finished and turned around ready to throw the attack. Casey's eyes grew very wide. He tried his best to roll away from the surprise attack, but it clipped him in the right side of his body. He went flying back a few feet and crashed into the stone wall. He grabbed his right shoulder and cried out. Dai Shi and Rammerhead laughed.
"Leave us be, Rammerhead. The tiger and I need to get reacquainted." Dai Shi said as Casey lay on the ground groaning.
"Yes, master." Rammerhead said with a bow and a chuckle. Casey managed to sit himself up, but as Rammerhead left the room, he kicked him back down.
"What're you going to do with me?" Casey asked tightly gripping his right shoulder.
"Why spoil the surprise?" Dai Shi said with an evil grin. "Welcome to your worst nightmare, Red Ranger!" Dai Shi said with a booming laugh. Casey leaned against the wall, struggling to stand.
Back at the loft…All the rangers stood around nervously. Lily bit her thumbnail and Dominic paced. Theo and RJ just tried to get their thoughts straight.
"What are we going to do? Dai Shi had Casey, and to make matters worse, Casey doesn't even know he's a ranger." Lily sighed. RJ looked up at her.
"You didn't tell him?" RJ asked.
"No," Theo intervened, "we didn't want to throw too much at him at once."
"That's understandable. I mean that's a lot to take in, especially since he doesn't remember any of us." Dominic said.
"We're so sorry, RJ." Lily said sadly. RJ walked over to her and put his hands on her shoulders to calm her.
"Breathe, Lily. It's okay. You did the right thing. As for him being captured, we'll figure something out." RJ said, trying to believe his own words. Lily gave a faint nod. RJ began to pace around the room as well. "We need a plan. How can we defeat a shark monster, and save a captured, amnesiac ranger?" RJ asked to no on in particular. It was more of a rhetorical question than anything.
"We need too fight fire with fire." Dominic inquired.
"But how?" Theo shrugged, "Casey knows the shark technique. None of us do." RJ paused at Theo's words, although negative. It gave RJ an idea.
"I may know someone who can…" RJ said confidently.
"What, RJ?!" Lily asked eagerly.
"No time to explain!" RJ said rushing down the loft's stairs. "Just lay low until I come back. If you run into trouble, call me." The rangers agreed without further hesitation.
"We trust in you, RJ. Do what you need to do, we'll handle everything." Dominic assured him.
"Thanks." RJ said to his team, then ran down the stairs and out of loft.
"Great…what do we do now?" Theo asked.
"All we can do…" Lily said, "…wait."
