"The Master's Herald, Part 2"
Episode 36
Air Date: October 19th, 2002

Continuing where the stunning first part left off, the rangers are completely besides themselves after Princess Shayla's capture when Onikage arrives...or rather one of his ninja illusions does to tell the rangers if they ever want to see the Princess again, that they must come to the rock quarry!  As Onikage leads Mandilok, Jindrax and the captured Princess to that very rock quarry, the rangers soon arrive.  Onikage soon takes Mandilok's weapon and makes dark clones of the rangers out of their shadows aka the Shadow Rangers.  Like most evil versions of the team, they are able to equally match the rangers blow for blow while Mandilok congratulates Onikage for being his best servant ever.  But soon Onikage reveals his true intentions all along as Master Org arrives to reclaim his throne as ruler of all Orgs.  This reintro is just badass and quite frightening as Master Org is now a true Org apparently, with no humanity left in him.  When Mandilok realizes he was tricked the entire time, Master Org begins to seek vengeance for being overthrown by destroying Mandilok instantly.  Just EPIC!!! As Master Org congratulates his faithful general, Onikage plans to destroy Jindrax as well to get rid of all the Orgs who betrayed him when Jindrax uses Princess Shayla to escape.  As the rangers continue to fight their shadow selves, Cole uses his Lion Blaster to help them escape.  As the rangers are recovering after the reveal of Master Org's return, Jindrax is completely lost and shocked over these new turn of events.  Gotta love how Shayla tries to comfort him, even motivate him in his time of need as Jindrax mourns the loss of Toxica.  But seriously lady, who couldn't give the damn rangers this type of mentoring??? O_o

Anyway, as Master Org goes on about sparing Jindrax is he gives Shayla back, Onikage confronts him and immediately tells him it was a lie as he plans to kill him like Toxica.  Jesus, these villains are so inconceivably evil it's hard to watch!!! O_O  The fight between Onikage and Jindrax is especially painful to watch as Jindrax pleads for his life and even Shayla feels bad enough to try to save him but Onikage just finishes him off and takes the Princess. Sheesh!!! O_o  Luckily, my boy Jindrax won't go down like that! YEAH! :) Meanwhile, the rangers are confronted by Master Org and the Shadow Rangers, which the rangers discover, if they destroy, they will ultimately destroy themselves! Well, that's cool and new!? :)  As Onikage arrives to Shayla to the Master, Jindrax arrives to denounce all Orgs and ever working for them again.  Master Org just tells Onikage to destroy him but Jindrax accidentally forces Onikage to summon his own Shadow form.  As the two Onikages fight, Cole uses the opportunity to use his Falcon Summer (Seriously, Cole has soooo many different weapons! -_-) to shoot Onikage's shadow and destroying him in a clever move he didn't even see coming.  As Master Org revives Onikage and makes him grow, he orders Onikage to take the rangers to an alternate dimension.  Onikage traps the rangers in the spirit world just as he takes Princess Shayla to the Nexus.

In the spirit world, the rangers are powerless, unable to call the Wild Zords and surrounded by giant sized Orgs they defeated before who are controlled by Onikage.  As Master Org locks Shayla up, she cries and suddenly a magic necklace that Merrick gave her summoning a glowing ball of energy that goes to Animarium and makes the Red Lion grow.  Soon the other Wild Zords like the Eagle, Elephant, Tiger and Shark come together to form the Pegasus Megazord (Awesome!) to make their way to the spirit world to save the rangers and destroy Onikage once and for all.  Awwwww, I'm gonna miss old Onikage!  One of the best villain ever this season!!! :(  So with Onikage gone but the Princess still captured, the rangers vow to get her back no matter what in takes in their own individual way. "NEVER GIVE-SHUT UP YOU TWO!" -_-  Anyway, this was overall a fantastic two parter that revived the main plot of the season by showing more emphasis on stronger villains, character development for said villains and some tense, action packed moments! :)  What a surprise?  Wild Force can be amazing when it wants to be again! :)

Final Morph: A+
