Act I
Zen Aku is playing his music by the river as he thinks back to when he was cursed 3000 years ago. He thinks back to the Ancient Warriors attacking and defeating him as he says that he must avenge this, starting with the Red Ranger.

On the Animarium Cole is sitting with the Lion Zord and looking at a picture of his parents, saying that finding his parents was his intentions when he came here but for now he must concentrate on defeating Zen Aku. He says that he must get back the Elephant Zord and the Lion roars in agreement.

Max and Danny are waiting outside Turtle Cove University for Alyssa. As Alyssa exits Max shouts her over and she smiles. Alyssa asks what they are doing here and Max tells her that they knew how worried she has been about the Elephant. Danny takes her books and bike, asking if she would like to get some ice cream as that always lifts his spirits. The three grab some ice cream and Alyssa tells them that this was a good idea as she can't allow herself to get depressed. Max assures her that they will get through this as Danny jumps, realising the time. Danny explains that his delicate flowers are in need of watering and so Alyssa offers him her bike. Danny thanks her and gets on the bike however Max gives him Alyssa's bag and books. Danny struggles to cycle with his hands full and falls to the ground, through the books everywhere. Max and Alyssa laugh at their friend as he picks the books all up.

Max and Alyssa are walking down the street as Alyssa asks if he thinks Danny is okay. Max assures her that Danny will be fine as a runaway bus suddenly drives past them, driving all over the road. Max comments that it's out of control and they realise that the bus is without a driver. The two morph and chase after the bus on their Motorcycles. The bus shoots at them from its brake lights however they continue to chase after it.

On the Animarium Danny just arrives with the pile of books as Cole gets a call from Alyssa asking for help. Cole tells her they will be right there and him and Taylor run for the exit, knocking over Danny and the books on the way.

Toxica tells them that of course the passengers are okay and that it will stay that way as long as they hand over their animal crystals. Toxica puts out her hand, indicating for Max to hand over the crystal. Max tells her to forget it however Jindrax tells him that no one will be able to get off the bus until he does. Max then takes out the Giraffe crystal and throws it out the window, telling them that if they want it then they must go and get it. Toxica and Jindrax run after the crystal as Max and Alyssa help all the passengers get out the bus. Toxica and Jindrax make it to the crystal and as Toxica picks it up she excitedly exclaims that once they give it to Master Org they will be his favourites once again.
