ANIMUS

Animus - Voiced by Charles G. Davis

Animus is lord of the wild zords.  He only spoke to the six ancient warriors, three thousand years ago.  Animus had fought in the battle for Animarium, against Master Org.  Animus was defeated.  Three thousand years later, Animus appeared in the sky in Turtle Cove.  During a battle, he appeared and spoke to Zen-Aku, urging him to remember.  Later, Animus appeared once more in the sky.  He urged Zen-Aku to remember and Zen-Aku asked him to remember what.  Animus didn't answer, he simply told him to remember before vanishing once more.

Animus came to the Rangers' aid once again.  He appeared in Princess Shayla's pond as the Alyssa, Taylor, Cole, Danny, and Max were trying to talk to Zen-Aku and tell him that he was human.  Animus managed to cover the moon with clouds.  After a painful transformation, Zen-Aku was reverted back to Merrick.  Merrick managed to tell the Rangers how he had come across the wolf mask, after Animus' defeat.  Unfortunately, Master Org and Nazyor were watching and Nazyor used his own magic to uncover the moon and Merrick was reverted back to Zen-Aku.

The Rangers were having problems in defeating Tombstone Org.  Deer zord had recently appeared, but refused to help the Rangers.  Animus appeared in the pond and told Princess Shayla that she must sing to the Deer zord.  Princess Shayla left immediately and soon found Deer zord.  Princess Shayla sang to the Deer zord, while Merrick played his flute.  Happy again, the Deer zord helped the Rangers defeat Tombstone Org.  Later, Animus appeared in the sky as Princess Shayla acknowledge Animus' help.  Cole, Taylor, Max, Danny, Alyssa, and Merrick all thanked Animus.  Animus replied you're welcome before disappearing from the sky.

The Rangers were battling Super Nazyor.  They were having a difficult time.  Alyssa, Taylor, Danny, and Max were soon demorph and knocked out.  Super Nazyor was about to deal a fatal blow - despite Red Ranger and Lunar Wolf Ranger trying to stop him.  Animus appeared in the sky and fire upon Super Nazyor.  Super Nazyor was knocked to the ground.  This gave Red Ranger and Lunar Wolf Ranger time to get their friends to the safety of Animarium.

The Rangers are having a difficult time in their battle against Flute Org.  Animus' zord suddenly appear and Animus is formed.  Animus takes his bow and arrows and fires one at Flute Org's flute and destroys it.  Later, after the Rangers have destroy Flute Org, Animus is in the sky.  The Rangers asks him how it is possible that he is alive.  Animus doesn't answer and vanishes.

Angry at the pollution humans have caused, Kite leaves the Animarium and ends up with Mandilok, Toxica, and Jindrax.  During a battle with the Rangers, Mandilok urges Kite to reveal his true form, which is Animus.  Animus tells the Rangers they have failed in protecting the Earth and he is taking their wild zords away from them.  Mandilok had placed a control device on the  Rangers' megazord.  Animus uses his bow and arrow and destroys the control device.  Animus reverts to Kite for a few moments and tells the Rangers they will have to fight their battles without the wild zords.  Kite reverts to Animus.  Animus vanishes, taking the megazord with him.  Animus also takes all the remaining wild zords on the Animarium with him as well.

Merrick is at the memorial, after finding out from Cole, that Princess Shayla is asleep again.  Merrick is pleading to his ancient friends, he doesn't know what to do.  A burst of sun streams down and Kite/Animus appears before Merrick.  Kite/Animus tells Merrick that he doesn't belong here.  Kite/Animus tells Merrick this is a doomed planet and offers to take him with him, where they could be with the wild zords and find a new world.  Merrick is taken aback and doesn't want to leave his friends.  Over Merrick's morpher, Kite/Animus and Merrick can hear the Rangers' battle against Toy Org.  Red Ranger's words get to Merrick and Merrick tells Kite/Animus he will always consider him a friend, but he has made new friends and a life here in the present and now he needs to help his friends.  Kite/Animus watched as Merrick takes off running.  Later, Kite reverts to Animus and wakes up the sleeping Princess Shayla.  Princess Shayla awakens slowly and asks Animus if it really is him.  Animus does not reply.  Later, Animus appears beside Lunar Wolf Ranger in his Predazord.  Lunar Wolf Ranger is fearful that Animus has come to take him with him.  Animus tells Lunar Wolf Ranger that he has always wanted to battle alongside Lunar Wolf Ranger and never had the opportunity.  Lunar Wolf Ranger tells Animus to fight alongside him now.   Together they destroy Toy Org.  Later, at the memorial, Kite is waiting for them as Cole, Alyssa, Merrick, Danny, Max, Taylor, and Princess Shayla arrived.  Kite reverts to white clothing and Alyssa, Danny, Max, and Taylor recognize him as the boy in the dark dimension.  Alyssa realizes that not only did they help themselves, they help Kite as well.  Kite tells them he had taken away their zords as a test, and they had passed the test.  Kite reverts to Animus and stands beside the Rangers' zords.  Animus reverts back to Kite and gives them the Red Wild Force Rider as a gift for saving his life.  Kite beams a smile at them and then reverts to Animus as goes up into the sky.  Princess Shayla asks Animus if they will see him again.  Animus tells them no, this is their battle and they no longer need him.  Animus then vanishes.

The Rangers were battling a giant Master Org.  Animus suddenly arrived to help them.  He told Master Org that he had been reborn in order to protect the Earth.  Princess Shayla arrived in Turtle Cove and told the Rangers that Master Org was too powerful and to leave with her.  All the Rangers, except Lunar Wolf Ranger, left with Princess Shayla.  Lunar Wolf Ranger leaped into his Predazord.  Animus and his friends, Lunar Wolf  Ranger battled Master Org.  Despite their combined efforts, they were defeated by Master Org.  Lunar Wolf Ranger was knocked out of his zord and demorph.  Merrick's animal crystals shattered and his morpher vanished.  Animus had been knocked down as well.  Animus had reverted to Kite.  Kite was unconscious when Merrick ran over.  Merrick asked him if he was okay, but Kite couldn't answer.  Master Org was about to step on them when he was knocked aside by the island of Animarium.  Princess Shayla beamed Kite and Merrick onto the island and then flew away.  Merrick held Kite in his arms.  Kite had awaken and apologized to Cole, Alyssa, Taylor, Danny, Max, and Merrick for not being strong enough to help them to defeat Master Org.  Kite reminded them they were Guardians of the Earth and told them they would meet again one day.  A golden shower surrounded Kite and then he vanished.
