Hidden room of the Pai Zhuq temple
"Okay, so you weren't the nicest kid on the block, but I wasn't either. I know that we can turn things around if we try." A black haired woman snapped at a young man. "I told you, it's too late for me." The man said to her.
"No! You're wrong Jarrod." A teenager in red said as he entered. "It's never too late to start over." "And whatever happened in the past, the fact is that we need your help now." A guy in blue added.
"The human race needs you. We can't defeat Dai Shi alone." The third person who entered, a girl in yellow, told him. Jarrod shook his head. "No. I'm sorry. But with all the harm I've caused with it, I'll never call on my lion spirit again." The three teens were about to protest when they heard beeping. They ran out.

Ten minutes later
Two pairs of footsteps entered the room. "Casey, I told you that I-" "It's not Casey." A young man said, interrupting Jarrod. "Who are you? And how'd you get here?" The woman with black hair defended.
"I am Trent Fernedaz-Mercer. This is my mentor, Tommy Oliver." "That doesn't answer our second question." The woman remarked. "Only one who knows the way of the animal spirits can find this room."
"I'm a Ninjetti warrior. The way of the Ninjetti split eleven thousand years ago into Pai Zhuq and the Ninjas." Tommy answered. "Now, want to tell us why you're sulking in this room?"
Jarrod turned to them. "Nothing you can help with." He muttered. Tommy and Trent smiled. "I think we can. What are your names?" Tommy said to them. "Camille. The one who's sulking is Jarrod." The black haired woman replied uneasily.
"Have you ever heard of an evil power ranger?" Tommy asked. The two shook their heads. "I'm the White Drago ranger. My morpher was corrupted when I got it, making me work for Mesagog." Trent explained.
"And I'm the original green ranger. An evil witch gave me the green power coin and put me under a spell. Out of all the things any power ranger has faced, I'm the one who was closest to destroying them. If the original blue ranger teleported the red ranger out one second later, he'd have a dead body."
"So you're here to kill me?" Jarrod bitterly remarked. Trent and Tommy exchanged glances. "When the spell on me was broken, the red ranger immediately asked me to join him. I was full of guilt, but it was the only way to redeem myself." Tommy explained.
"When my morpher was cleansed, I couldn't believe all the damage I caused. I wanted to destroy my morpher, but I didn't. I knew deep inside that the right thing to do was to help the rangers." Trent added. "Your point?" Jarrod asked them. "You can still redeem yourself. It starts by helping the power rangers."

Middle of town, same time
"We've got to calm this crowd down. This is exactly what Dai Shi wants." A man in purple said to a man in white as they looked around. The three teens who went to Jarrod came running up. "Scorched?" The guy in purple asked them. The three nodded.
"Calm down!" Jason shouted. "I am the original red ranger and I'm here with the original yellow and Zeo Ranger Two Yellow, plus the Dino Thunder and the Ninjetti Rangers. Calmly get to safety while the rangers defeat all these monsters." The civilians obeyed.
The ten morphed rangers jumped down to the Jungle Fury rangers. "Ninjetti warriors?" One of the old men asked as he rubbed his eyes. "That's right, I'm Kim. That's Adam, Rocky, and Aisha. Our blue ranger can't be here but our white will come soon." "You're too late. I have harvested your fear. Now I have enough power for my final stand." A loud voice echoed.
The portals opened, letting loose all the monsters. "Jungle Beast, Spirit Unleashed!" The battle had begun.

Twenty minutes later, same location
Four familiar faces stepped through the portal; Masters Mao, Guin, Rilla, and Lope. "When Dai Shi opened the portal, we came too." Master Rilla explained. "We wouldn't miss this battle for the world." Master Mao added.
The seven unmorphed masters unleashed their animal spirits, destroying all the monsters but Dai Shi. "I'll take those animal spirits." Dai Shi interrupted. "No!" The Jungle Fury rangers cried out as the animal spirits were sucked out of the masters' bodies.
"For too long the Pai Zhuq school has stopped my plans for ultimate rule. I will get my revenge by starting with the Tiger ranger." Dai Shi stated as he regained his giant multi headed dragon-like body.
One of his heads nearly bit Casey as the rest sprang at him. Lily and Theo ran to him but all three ended up dodging heads left and right. He decided to smack them with his neck. The three rangers were launched backward as they demorphed in pain. The other rangers dropped their morphs and ran toward them. "Now for the final strike!" Dai Shi shouted.
An emerald dragon with white eyes swooped in as he burned Dai Shi. "Are we too late?" Tommy said as Trent, Camille, and Jarrod jumped off his back. Tommy turned back to normal. "Let's get these men to safety. This is a job for the animal spirits." Jason said. Ethan, Trent, Kira, Connor, and Tanya nodded.
"The lion has returned. Have you finally come to your senses?" Dai Shi sneered. "Yes. You told me that I have the strength of a lion but not the heart. I'm here because I found that heart."
Jarrod, Camille, the Ninjetti rangers, and the Jungle Fury rangers stood side by side. "Ninja ranger power!" "Jungle Beast, Spirit Unleashed!"
"With the Strength of a Tiger, Jungle Fury Red Ranger!"
"With the Stealth of a Jaguar, Jungle Fury Blue Ranger!"
"With the Speed of a Cheetah, Jungle Fury Yellow Ranger!"
"With the Courage of a Wolf, Jungle Fury Wolf Ranger!"
"With the Power of a Rhino, Jungle Fury Rhino Ranger!"
"With the Cunning of a Chameleon, Green Chameleon Warrior!"
"With the Spirit of the Mighty Lion, Black Lion Warrior!"
"I am the Ape, Mighty and Strong!"
"I am the Bear, Cunning and Fierce!"
"I am the Crane, Agile and Graceful!"
"I am the Frog, Courageous in Spirit!"
"I am the Falcon, Just and Able!"
The twelve rangers sent their animal spirits at Dai Shi, the spirits destroying him for good and freeing all the stolen animal spirits. "Well done rangers, well done."
