Kite becomes angry with the Rangers for not protecting the Earth from pollution.  Kite leaves the Animarium in anger.  Max, Danny, Cole, Alyssa all go to look for him, while Taylor stays behind.  Mandilok finds Kite and tells him how humans have polluted the Earth and they are the ones that allowed the Orgs to emerge again.  Kite watches as Monitor Org appears.  The Rangers go to battle the new Org and are surprised to see Kite with Mandilok, Toxica, and Jindrax.  Despite the Ranger's pleas, Kite stays with Mandilok.  The Rangers defeat Monitor Org.  Mandilok urges Kite to show his true form - which is Animus.  Animus tells the Rangers that he has made a mistake trusting humans to protect the Earth and takes away all the zords from the Rangers.  The Rangers don't know how they will continue to battle without their zords.  Animus does not care and tells them that is their problem.  With no zords to protect on the Animarium, Princess Shayla falls into a deep sleep.
