While on a field trip with her class, Alyssa hears a strange noise.  Following the sound, she enters a cave and discovers the same symbol as on the Ranger's buckle on a wall.  Alyssa returns to Animarine to tell Princess Shayla about what she found.  Princess Shayla, Alyssa, and Cole leave for the cave.  On the way they are attacked by an Org and Princess Shayla is taken.  The Rangers are determined to rescue the Princess.  Meanwhile, Master Org wants Princess Shayla to release the zord trapped behind the cave wall.  Princess Shayla is unable to do this.  Only the chosen person can release the zord.  Angry that he can not have the zord, Master Org blasts the cave wall, knocking Alyssa and Princess Shayla to the ground.  They are presumed to be destroyed.  Alyssa and Princess Shayla are okay and the Princess is upset when she sees that Master Org has destroyed the key to the wild zord.  But the wild zord is still able to be release and the Elephant zord chooses Alyssa.
