Camille has sent a monster, Mog, into Ocean Bluff.  Camille is there as well.  Mog is terrorizing the citizens.   The citizens are running and screaming in terror.  Mog:  Yes!  Run!  Your fear makes me powerful.  Camille:  Good boy Mog!  Make your new Master proud.  Flit appears out of Camille's throat.  Flit is wondering how Camille is all of a sudden a Master.  Camille is confident once Mog has destroyed the humans, she will be a Master.  Flit has his doubts and when he voices them, Camille strangles him.  The Rangers soon arrive.  The Rangers battle Mog.  Yellow Ranger uses her Jungle Mace.  Blue Ranger his Jungle Fans and Red Ranger his Shark Sabers.  Mog grows to giant size.  The Rangers formed their Jungle Pride Megazord.  At first the Rangers use the spirit of the elephant in battle.  Mog takes flight and the Rangers then use the spirit of the bat to pursue Mog through the skies.  The battle returns to the ground.  The Rangers use the spirit of the shark and destroy Mog.  Camille is not happy with the results of the battle.

Inside the temple, Dai Shi and Jellica are training.  Dai Shi continues to improve.  Camille enters with the bad news.  Jellica is not happy with Camille and attacks her.  Camille transformed into chameleon form.  Camille cannot defeat Jellica and she pleads with Dai Shi for his help.  At first, Dai Shi does nothing.  But then he dons his armor and stops Jellica from striking Camille.  Dai Shi tells Jellica that Camille can still be of use.  Camille gets tossed to the ground and transforms back to human form.  Carnisoar flies in and he is pleased with the progress Jellica has made with Dai Shi.  Carnisoar and Jellica use their power to bring forth the Shadow Guards.  Carnisoar wants Dai Shi to take the Shadow Guards and destroy the Power Rangers once and for all.

The teens entered the Jungle Karma Pizza Parlor in high spirits.  Fran is not so thrilled with them.  Fran wants to know what is going on and the teens make up a story about bowling.  Fran would like them to give her some notice when they go on break.  RJ walks in and tells the teens they are needed up in the loft.  Grinning, the teens tell Fran they are going on break.  The teens follow RJ out of the pizza place.  Fran wonders what is going on.  Up in the loft, the teens are still in high spirits and want to know when they are getting their Master tattoos.  RJ cautions them that it is okay to be confident, but not over confident.  RJ tells the teens it's time to get back to basics.  The teens are confused.  RJ wants them to practice their stances.  Theo, Casey, and Lily reluctantly do so.  Elsewhere, Dai Shi, Camille and the Shadow Guards are outside.  Dai Shi is ready for the Rangers and calls out to them.  Dai Shi is enveloped in power.

Casey, Theo, and Lily are practicing their stances when the alarm goes off.  RJ and the teens go to the TVs.  Dai Shi is on the screen, challenging the Rangers.  Theo, Lily, and Casey are confident they can take on Dai Shi.  RJ is a little more concern.  There seems to be something different about Dai Shi.  Lily, Casey, and Theo meet Dai Shi, Camille, and the Shadow Guards outside.  Dai Shi tells them he is surprised they had come and then dons his armor.  Dai Shi immediately attacks the teens.  Casey, Theo, and Lily are knocked off their feet.  The teens quickly morph.  Red Ranger and Blue Ranger battle the Shadow Guards.  Yellow Ranger faces Dai Shi on her own.  Yellow Ranger uses her Jungle Mace against Dai Shi, but Dai Shi easily deflects the weapon.  Yellow Ranger and Dai Shi continue to battle until Dai Shi defeats Yellow Ranger.  Red Ranger is still battling the Shadow Guards when Blue Ranger takes on Dai Shi.  Blue Ranger uses his Jungle Fans, but once more, Dai Shi easily deflects the weapon.  Dai Shi battles Blue Ranger with ease and soon defeats him as well.  Red Ranger takes on Dai Shi next.  Red Ranger uses his Shark Sabers.  Dai Shi easily defeats them.  Red Ranger then calls forth his Strike Rider and uses it against Dai Shi.  Dai Shi knocks Red Ranger off his bike with ease.  The Rangers gather together and use the Claw Cannon against Dai Shi.  Dai Shi deflects the blow easily.  Flanked by the Shadow Guards, Dai Shi uses his power to knock the Rangers off their feet once more.  The Rangers demorph as they hit the ground.  Dai Shi goes back to his human form.  Dai Shi is gathering power in his hand and tells the teens to say hi to Master Mao for him.  The Shadow Guards and Camille are beside him.  Suddenly RJ appears.  Dai Shi is more than happy to see the Wolf Master once more.  Dai Shi makes a deal with RJ.  He will spare the Rangers if RJ turns himself in.  It doesn't take long for RJ to place his students ahead of him.  RJ agrees and then tells the teens they know what to do.  Lily tells him no, but RJ has already made the deal.  Dai Shi is thrilled with his victory and allows himself a grin as the Shadow Guards take RJ.  Dai Shi, Camille, and the Shadow Guards walk away with RJ.  The teens get up and are upset over losing their Master. 

Theo, Casey, and Lily dejected, enter the pizza place.  Fran immediately jumps on them for not being around to help out during the lunch rush or the clean up afterwards.  Casey, Lily, and Theo apologize and promise to make it up to her.  Fran can see they are not themselves and tells them it's okay, she has already apologized to herself.  Fran then asks them where RJ is, as she hasn't seen him all afternoon.  Lily, Theo, and Casey have no answer for her and walk up the stairs to the loft.  In the temple, Dai Shi proudly enters trailed by Camille, the Shadow Guards and RJ.  Carnisoar and Jellica are there.  Carnisoar tells Dai Shi he truly is an agent of evil.  Dai Shi wanted to destroy RJ in front of them as a gift.  Light heartily, RJ comments that he has never been a gift before.  Jellica decides to make an event of Dai Shi destroying RJ and tells Camille to ready the arena.  Camille wonders what will happen if the Rangers find another Master.  Jellica tells her that they have had help from the only three remaining ones.  There are no more Masters.  Everyone laughs.  In the loft, Theo, Casey, and Lily ponder on what they can do to help RJ.  Casey remembers that RJ had suggest they go back to their basics.  They conclude this means going back to the Forbidden Room.   Back at the temple, Camille leads RJ to his cell.  Camille relishes the idea of Dai Shi destroying RJ.  RJ tells her that Jarrod has made a mistake.  Camille wants to know what that mistake is.  RJ tells her he has underestimated the Power Rangers.  RJ then sits calmly on the floor.  Casey, Lily, and Theo enter the Forbidden Room.  Everything is just how they had left it.  Lily notices the stone crave drawings and draws the guys' attention to it.  They spot Master Swoop, Master Phant, and Master Finn in their animal forms in the cravings.  There are three additional cravings of a gorilla, antelope, and penguin.  The teens wonder who they are.  Master Mao arrives.  Casey, Theo, and Lily are thrilled to see him.  They tell him what has happened to RJ, which Master Mao already knew.  The teens want to know about the other three Masters.  Master Mao tells them they reside in the spirit realm.  The teens want to go there.  Master Mao feels it is too dangerous.  No one has ever returned from the spirit realm.  Meanwhile, inside the temple, Dai Shi delivers RJ's food tray.  RJ is not thrilled with what is serve and jokes that he had ordered the pizza.  Dai Shi wants him to be at full strength and tells him to eat.  RJ continues to joke and Dai Shi tells him to joke while he can.  Dai Shi walks away.  Once Dai Shi is gone, RJ's humor leaves as well.  RJ comments come on Rangers.  Back at the Forbidden Room, the teens insist that Master Mao send them to the spirit realm.  It's the only way to help RJ.  Master Mao finally agrees.  Master Mao uses his power and a portal to the spirit realm is opened.  The teens enter and they all vanish.

Casey, Theo, and Lily land in the spirit realm.  As they pick themselves up they notice three figures coming towards them.  These are the Masters they had spotted on the wall in the Forbidden Room.  The three Masters attack the teens.  Theo, Lily, and Casey battle the Masters, but they are soon defeated.  The Masters tell the fallen teens they shouldn't have come.
