Power Rangers Time Force Power Rangers Ninja Storm

Power Rangers Wild Force is a television series and the tenth season of Power Rangers. It is also the anniversary season of the Power Rangers franchise, based on the 25th Super Sentai series Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger , which itself was the 25th anniversary of Super Sentai. ^[1]

Power Rangers Wild Force is the last season to be produced by Saban and first by Disney, following the sale of Fox Family Worldwide (renamed ABC Family Worldwide) including Saban Entertainment (renamed BVS Entertainment) to Disney by Haim Saban and News Corporation, Fox's parent company. The first part of the series was originally broadcast from February to August 2002 on the Fox Kids television block. The show was moved in the fall 2002 to ABC's new Saturday morning block, ABC Kids (formerly Disney's One Saturday Morning).

Plot

The series follows the adventures of Cole Evans, who had been staying with a tribe in the jungle for most of his life, as he tries to find his destiny in the town of Turtle Cove. He encounters the Animarium, an island shaped like a turtle floating in the sky, which many believed to exist only in fairy tales, and is the home of the Wild Zords, and the Wild Force Power Rangers' mentor, Princess Shayla. He joins four other teens, Taylor Earhardt, Max Cooper, Alyssa Enrilé, and Danny Delgado, becoming the new leader of the Wild Force Rangers.

Throughout time, the Rangers use their powers to defeat the forces of the Orgs, monsters created from human pollution, led by one Master Org. As Cole was fond of other animals, he was shocked to discover that the Orgs were literally heartless horned monsters. As the series continues, he finds out the truth about his real parents, Richard and Elizabeth Evans, who were professors at Turtle Cove University, along with a family friend, Dr. Viktor Adler, who was secretly in love with Elizabeth. When they were sent to the jungle for research, they discover the remains of Master Org, which a jealous Adler consumes in order to exact revenge on Richard, who had proposed to Elizabeth before he could. However, the seeds drive Adler mad and he ends up killing both him and Elizabeth. For a while, their son Cole, who was only two years old at the time, was presumed dead as well.

In an attempt to defeat the rangers, Master Org releases Zen-Aku, a wolf duke-org who was sealed away by the ancient warriors, the predecessors of the Wild Force Rangers, 3000 years ago. Zen-Aku, however, is soon to be revealed as Merrick Baliton, a member of ancient warriors who defeated the original Master Org by using the powers of a cursed wolf mask. The rangers break the curse, returning Merrick to his human form, allowing him to join the team as the Lunar Wolf Ranger. Zen-Aku is later revealed to have been freed from the curse and attempts to repossess Merrick, but is defeated.

During the annual team-up episode, a trio of powerful half-mutant, half-org monsters called Mut-Orgs travel back in time from the year 3001 to join forces with Master Org and clash with Wes Collins and Eric Myers, the Red Time Force Ranger and Quantum Ranger, prompting the Wild Force Rangers to come to their aid. Wes and Eric contact the other four Time Force rangers in the future and they travel back to aid them, along the previous season's villains Ransik and his daughter Nadira. Ransik, who has reformed, reveals that he was the one who freed the Mut-Orgs and works with the rangers, stripping the three monster mutant powers and weakening them enough for the rangers to destroy them. Ransik is also stripped of his own powers during the battle, turning him into a normal human.

Eventually, Duke Orgs Jindrax and Toxica learn of Master Org's human origins and turn on him, awakening the Org General Mandilok to overthrow him. Shortly after, during a battle with Cole, Master Org is stripped of his powers. Mandilok takes this opportunity to kill the now powerless Dr. Adler. Mandilok then proceeds to take control of the Org forces. Meanwhile, the rangers befriend an amnesiac boy named Kite who has mysterious powers. Kite is revealed to the reborn Animus, the ancestor of the Wild Zords, who was destroyed by the original Master Org 3000 years ago. Mandilok attempts to turn Animus against the rangers by showing him the destruction and pollution humans have caused over the last 3000 years, and appears to be successful as Animus takes away the Ranger's Wild Zords. However, Animus revealed he was only testing the rangers and returns to aid them and gives them back their Wild Zords.

Soon after, the original Master Org, reawakened and reborn in Dr. Adler's body after his death, returns to exact his revenge, destroying Mandilok and kidnapping Princess Shayla to use her powerful necklace to create the powerful Org Heart. Though the Rangers rescue the princess with the aid of the reformed Jindrax and Toxica, Master Org uses the Org Heart to transform into a powerful new form that can regenerate from any attack. Using his new powers, Master Org easily destroys all the rangers' Zords, stripping the rangers of their powers, and brings the Animarium crashing down to Earth. The rangers, though now powerless, refuse to give up and make a final stand against Master Org. This causes not only the Wild Zords that Master Org destroyed to be revived, but for the 77 other lost Wilds Zords to return and restore the rangers' powers. The rangers, together with all 100 Wild Zords, destroy Master Org and the Org Heart, ending the threat of the Orgs once and for all.

With the threat over, Princess Shayla allows the rangers to return to their civilian lives, taking the Wild Zords and the Animarium back up into the sky until they're needed again. Cole travels the world, using his skills to help animals everywhere, Taylor returns to the Air Force, Max and Danny travel the world on a sight-seeing tour, Merrick travels the world as well, accompanied by a now reformed Zen-Aku, and Alyssa finishes college and becomes a teacher. The series ends with Alyssa telling her story to a kindergarten class.

In addition to the annual team-up episodes, Power Rangers Wild Force also had a special episode commemorating it as the tenth incarnation, Forever Red, by having Cole team up with the nine Red Rangers before him (Jason Lee Scott, Aurico, Tommy Oliver, T.J. Johnson, Andros, Leo Corbett, Carter Grayson, Wes Collins and Eric Myers) to prevent the remaining generals of the Machine Empire from unearthing and reactivating Lord Zedd's Zord, Serpentera, which had been left buried on the moon.

The Animarium reappeared during Power Rangers Super Megaforce in "A Lion's Alliance".

In the wilderness, a young man named Cole Evans - having been raised by a native tribe from infancy - leaves to search for his destiny. In the city of Turtle Cove, four Power Rangers are battling two monsters - Plug Org and Turbine Org - but are outmatched. The orgs leave, and Alyssa comments on how they need a fifth Ranger, but their leader Taylor disagrees. Cole arrives in the city and tries to find the people in his photo - his parents. He saves animals from a shady shelter run by two devious people, later revealed to be the Duke Orgs Toxica and Jindrax. The next day, Cole is found by the other four Rangers, and is taken to a jungle where five robotic animals greet him - Lion, Tiger, Bison, Shark, and Eagle - the Power Animals. Cole makes his way to a temple, where he is greeted by the Rangers and their mentor, Princess Shayla. Cole shows them a red crystal with the lion in it. They surprise him by showing him their colored crystals. The Org from earlier returns to wreak more havoc in the city. Shayla dispatches the Rangers, and Taylor gives Cole his Growl Phone and shows him how to morph. After a brief battle, the Rangers combine their weapons into the Jungle Sword, destroying Plug Org.

The Rangers arrive in the city to fight the org, but Cole tries to reason with it, believing that all living things - even orgs - have hearts, and that violence isn't the answer. After he finds out orgs do not have hearts, the Rangers destroy Barbed Wire Org with the Jungle Sword, and he grows to giant size after Jindrax and Toxica make themselves known to the Rangers. The Wild Zords come down from the Animarium, and the Red Lion tells Cole they need to combine the Wild Zords and form the Wild Force Megazord to defeat the org.

Meanwhile, Camera Org surfaces and makes everyone invisible with a single click. Taylor runs into Jindrax and the two fight until Camera Org makes Taylor invisible.

Alyssa sees this and leaves the Megazord to help the Princess but is knocked out by Master Org. When Shayla tells Master Org that she can't open the seal, only the chosen one can; he decides to blow it up.

There, he has the same dream, but this time, a voice tells him to, "use the Spear of Pardolis." He confides in Princess Shayla and then returns to fight Ship Org. The other Rangers join him, and the Jungle Sword destroys Ship Org. After Toxica revives Ship Org, Max's dream becomes a reality when the org overpowers the Elephant sword, and Princess Shayla remembers that Pardolis was an ancient Animarium warrior who had control over the Giraffe Zord, his spear.

However, the Red Lion objects and says that he will fight, so the Rangers do what Jindrax and Toxica want them to.
