MASTER SWOOP
Master Swoop - Oliver Driver
Master Swoop is a Master at the Order of the Claw. His bat sonic radar had picked up that Bai Lai and Carden were back. He followed them to Ocean Bluff. Master Swoop entered the city and stood silently as the Rangers, in their Megazord, battled Bai Lai and Carden. The Rangers were defeated. After the battle, Master Swoop flew away. He knew where he needed to go - RJ's apartment. When the teens entered the apartment to talk to RJ, Master Swoop was there, hanging upside down. He began to fly around and then came to a stand still. Casey, Theo, and Lily were ready to tackle him. RJ stops them, telling the teens this is one of his former and favorite Master, Master Swoop. Master Swoop had been the one to teach RJ the Swoop technique. The teens learn Master Swoop is blind. Master Swoop doesn't appreciate Theo waving his hand in front of his face. Master Swoop and RJ have the teens leave. After they are gone, Master Swoop confirms with RJ that they need to do something with Theo. Theo's mind is scattered and he is no help to the team. It is decided that Theo will leave with Master Swoop for some training. Master Swoop takes Theo to the woods for some training. Master Swoop wants Theo to concentrate on one thing at a time. Theo is proud of being able to accomplish many tasks at the same time and is not concern. Master Swoop tells Theo he is letting his team down. Theo wants to know how. Master Swoop tells him Red Ranger and Yellow Ranger are battling Bai Lai and Carden and they need his help. Theo is worried about his friends in battle. Theo wants Master Swoop to get on with the training, so he can help his friends. Master Swoop shows Theo what he wants him to accomplish. Master Swoop uses his fan and then floats above the lake. Theo is in disbelief. After a few moments, Theo has decided to go ahead and try to accomplish what Master Swoop wants him to do. But despite everything he does, Theo cannot fly into the air like Master Swoop. Master Swoop tells Theo to clear his mind. Theo concentrates and he soon is flying over the lake. Theo is thrilled with his victory and anxious to help his friends. As soon as he mentions helping his friends, Theo splashes into the water. Theo gets out of the lake and he is not happy. Master Swoop tells him he didn't do bad for the first time. Theo knows what Master Swoop wants him to do, and he just can't do it. Theo can't change who he is overnight. Theo has always done three things at once. It was what his parents, teachers, everyone expected from him. Theo doubts he has what it takes to be a superhero. Master Swoop tells him he doesn't want him to change who he is, and he is definitely a superhero. His work ethics are not in questions. Master Swoop just wants Theo to be present and focus in the moment. Theo tries once more. Blue Ranger soon joins his friends in battle. Master Swoop enters the city as the Rangers are battling Bai Lai and Carden in their Jungle Pride Megazord. Master Swoop contacts Blue Ranger and tells him to use the bat spirit. With the bat spirit, the Megazord can fly. The Rangers think they have destroyed Bai Lai and Carden, but they have only destroyed Bai Lai. After the battle, Master Swoop, Lily, and Casey enter the apartment. They see RJ and ask him where Theo is. Master Swoop wants to say goodbye. Theo then floats down from the ceiling. Theo had been meditating and tells them it clears the mind and helps you stay focused. Master Swoop tells Theo how proud he is of him. Theo is pleased. Master Swoop then tells Theo not to forget to make the sauce, roll the dough, and save the world. Theo is a little dazed by all the demands and starts to walk away, until he realizes what Master Swoop is doing. Master Swoop grins and tells him got you. Theo laughs.
Master Swoop is training outside. He goes through his moves until he hears a sound. It's Phantom Beast General Scorch. Master Swoop is captured and taken to the temple. He is held there. Master Swoop is soon joined by Master Finn and Master Phant. Master Swoop and the rest are taken inside a chamber and the Rinshi chain the three Masters to a wall. The Rinshi then place the three crystal eyes on spokes. Dai Shi and Camille walk in, along with the three Phantom Beast Generals, Scorch, Whiger, and Snapper. Master Swoop implores Jarrod to fight the evil Dai Shi within in. Dai Shi tells him Jarrod cannot fight against him, just as they cannot fight against the Rinzin power of the Phantom Beasts. The three generals use the Rinzin power on Master Swoop and the rest. With the Rinzin power, Master Swoop, Master Phant, and Master Finn now have Spirit Rangers, which they control. Master Swoop's Spirit Ranger is the Bat Ranger. The three Spirit Rangers arrive in the city and knock Lily, Casey, Theo, RJ, and Dominic off their feet.
Master Swoop and the rest of the Masters were chain to the all inside the temple. General Scorch: Awaken. Master Swoop and the rest moved forward, ready to battle. Each move Master Swoop and the rest made where duplicated by the Spirit Rangers battling the Rangers. The battled continued until Wolf Ranger thought he saw his dad's eyes beneath the helmet. Wolf Ranger says dad and Master Finn breaks out of the spell for a moment. Master Finn quickly slams Master Swoop and Master Phant against the wall. It is enough to break the spell for the moment, and the Spirit Rangers vanished. General Scorch: Take them away. The Rinshi dragged the Masters back to their cells. Master Phant: Take your hands off me! Later Dai Shi wants the Spirit Rangers to attack. General Scorch does not agree, but does so when Dai Shi growls at him. Dynamir is sent as well to help the Spirit Rangers. Master Swoop and the rest are back under control. Master Swoop and the rest have the Spirit Rangers battle Dominic, who is alone. Dynamir catches Dominic in one of his boomerangs. Master Swoop and the rest then have the Spirit Rangers surround Lily and "Theo". Dynamir captures both of them as well. Master Swoop and the rest then have the Spirit Rangers attack Casey and RJ. Dynamir quickly catches them. Dynamir thinks he has all five Rangers, when in fact "Theo" is actually Theo's identical twin brother Lewin. Theo does arrive. Theo uses a device RJ made. The device blocks signals. Master Swoop and the rest are ready to have the Spirit Rangers attack Theo, but Theo uses the device on them. The Spirit Rangers vanish. Master Swoop and the rest are exhausted as they are hauled back against the wall. Eventually the Rangers will destroy Dynamir. Dai Shi is not happy and tells General Scorch he hopes his generals are more powerful than his warriors.
Master Swoop, Master Phant, and Master Finn were once more chained to the wall. Generals Whiger and Snapper were there. Dai Shi entered, along with Camille and General Scorch. Dai Shi passed in front of the Masters. Master Finn: Jarrod. Dai Shi paused. Master Finn: Think back to Pai Zhug. You were honorable, virtuous. You can be again. Dai Shi seemed confused for a moment, then the scowl returned and he walked on. General Scorch: Quiet you! General Scorch used his Rinzin power against Master Finn. Master Finn was in a great deal of pain. Suddenly Dai Shi stopped General Scorch with his Zocato power. General Scorch and Camille were stunned. General Scorch: You protect him! A human! Dai Shi said nothing for a moment, he was just as surprise by his actions as the rest. But Dai Shi gathered himself together. Dai Shi: Your outburst will weaken his spirit. Don't do it again. The generals got in front of the Masters. They used their Rinzin power to charge up the crystal eyes. Soon the Masters were under their control. The Spirit Rangers leaped out of the sky into the woods where the Rangers were searching for them. A battle quickly followed. Shark Ranger battled Red Ranger, Blue Ranger, and Yellow Ranger. Bat Ranger battled Wolf Ranger. Elephant Ranger battled Rhino Ranger. The Spirit Rangers were having an easy time against the Rangers. Red Ranger; Guys, let's do it! Yellow Right: Right! The Claw Cannon appeared. Red Ranger, Blue Ranger, and Yellow Ranger: Claw Cannon! Powered by Animal Spirits! Charged! Shark Ranger began to walk towards them. Yellow Ranger: I hope this works. Red Ranger: Steady. But the three Rangers were hesitant to fire at Shark Ranger. Wolf Ranger: Rangers fire! Red Ranger: Alight, fire! The blast from the cannon hit Shark Ranger. Shark Ranger vanished. Moments later, Bat Ranger and Elephant Ranger vanished as well. Master Finn was transported into the crystal eye. He was trapped there. Master Swoop and Master Phant were slammed back to the wall by the chains. Later, the two remaining Spirit Rangers were used once more in battle. Unidoom had been sent out to the city, and the citizens ran terrified. Four of the Rangers arrive. Bat Ranger battles Blue Ranger. Elephant Ranger battles Yellow Ranger. Red Ranger and Rhino Ranger battle Unidoom. The two Spirit Rangers and Unidoom have an easy time against the four Rangers. Red Ranger calls in his Strike Rider.

Red Ranger and Rhino Ranger are kept busy battling Unidoom. Unidoom knocks Red Ranger to the ground. Red Ranger contacts RJ, telling him they need help. After awhile, the two Spirit Rangers vanish. The four Rangers continue their battle against Unidoom. Master Swoop and Master Phant are once more slammed into the wall by their chains. They are exhausted and slid down to the floor. RJ and Master Finn are there. RJ and Master Finn had battled the Rinshi and defeated them. RJ had smashed the crystal eyes, releasing Master Swoop and Master Phant from the Phantom Beast Generals' control. RJ and Master Finn raced over to make sure they are okay. Dai Shi enters. Dai Shi is happy to have all four masters. But the Masers are not threaten. They tell Dai Shi that if he had wanted to get rid of them, he cold easily have done so. It's because of Jarrod's black lion and his humanity that has stop Dai Shi. Dai Shi does not like that and uses Zocato power against the Masters. Master Swoop and the rest fall to the floor. RJ gets up and battles Dai Shi. Master Finn helps the two Masters back to their feet. RJ is knocked to the floor once more. RJ uses his wolf spirit against Dai Shi. This causes the chamber to fall around Dai Shi. The four Masters quickly leave. They go to the city. Unidoom had just defeat Red Ranger, Blue Ranger, Yellow Ranger, and Rhino Ranger. Wolf Ranger arrives, but Unidoom is not concern. Unidoom has just defeated four Rangers, one more won't make a difference. Then Bat Ranger, Shark Ranger, and Elephant Ranger step forward.

They are delighted to see them. Lily gives Master Phant a hug. Casey tells Master Finn they thought for sure he was gone, with the Claw Cannon. Master Finn replies he's not that easy to get rid of. The Masters tell them the Spirit Rangers are at their disposal. Master Finn encourages them to work as a team and fight strong. RJ adds and to take the risk.
Master Swoop was at the Pai Zhug school, along with Masters Phant and Finn. RJ arrives with Lily, Casey, and Theo. It was time for Casey, Theo, and Lily to take their Master's test. Theo and Lily are excited. Casey is not. To become a Master, they must defeat their Master. There is time for meditation before the test. Theo and Lily sit and mediate. Casey goes up to RJ. Casey wants RJ to help him, but RJ cannot. Casey returns and it is time for the test. Master Swoop and Theo battle. Master Swoop and Theo give it their all as they each try to defeat the other. At the same time, Master Phant and Lily battle. Lily is confident and so is Master Phant. The battle is difficult. Casey battles Master Finn with less confidence.

Instead Master Finn tells Casey he did not pass the test. Theo and Lily are surprised - Casey had done everything he had done. Casey is upset, but Master Finn's word is final.
Days later, Casey would earn his tiger stripes when he managed to get through to Jarrod. Jarrod and Dai Shi separated. Dai Shi sent General Scorch and numerous Rinshi to attack the city and stir up fear. Wolf Ranger and Rhino Ranger had been battling General Scorch, but they were soon defeated. Wolf Ranger and Rhino Ranger had hit the pavement and demorph. General Scorch was about to strike again when Masters Swoop, Phant, and Finn arrived. Master Finn: Stop! Leave them alone! General Scorch: Am I suppose to be afraid of three old men? Master Phant: Let's show him what these old men can do. Masters Swoop, Finn, and Phant charged forward. The three Masters battled General Scorch, but they had a difficult time as well. General Scorch was mocking them when Red Ranger, Blue Ranger, and Yellow Ranger arrive. General Scorch tells them how the Rinshi are overpowering the city with fear. Masters Swoop, Phant, Finn, RJ, and Dominic take off to battle the Rinshi. In a different part of the city, the Masters Swoop, Finn, Phant, RJ, and Dominic battle the numerous Rinshi. They eventually destroy the Rinshi, but the citizens are running in fear. They try to keep them calm, but it's not working. Casey, Theo, and Lily join them and tell them General Scorch has been scorched. Casey, Theo, and Lily had also been to see Jarrod to convince him to fight alongside them, but Jarrod refused and they give this information as well. Their worst fears are realized when Dai Shi appears in the sky above them.

Suddenly several of the villains are knocked off their feet. Masters Lope, Guin, Rilla, and Mao have arrive. When Dai Shi opened the portal, it allowed them to enter as well. The Rangers stand aside as Master Swoop and the rest of the Masters battle together against Dai Shi's warriors. Masters Swoop, Mao, Guin, Lope, Rilla, Finn, and Phant go into the highest level animal spirits. Having achieved this, the seven Masters destroy Dai Shi's warriors. Dai Shi then takes their spirits from them and turns into his final form - a dragon. The Rangers race over to make sure the Masters are okay. When the Rangers look up they see Dai Shi's new form. Dai Shi laughs at the frighten group. The Masters and the Rangers have a tough time against Dai Shi, as he easily blasts them off their feet. Dai Shi decides he will take his revenge on Red Ranger first and goes after him. Blue Ranger and Yellow Ranger race forward to help their friend.
