That Saturday morning, rangers were in the base and Professor Brain was scanning Sapphire with a magic analyzer. Twilight was interested as too how Sapphire sprouted wings and a horn when she came to rescue them from Vulcan and the minions. The other rangers were interested as well so they decided to try and find out how and why.

Sapphire layed down on an examination table as Brain moved the analyzer over her body and check the results on the computer. "What have you got Professor?" Celesto asked.

"According to the results, Sapphire has an a large amount of magic within her body, but I do not see anything that can lead us to how or why she transformed the first time." he replied.

The team sighed. A dead end. "We have to figure it out." Rainbow said. "Just think with Sapphire's new form on our side, we'll be unstoppable!" The others shared her idea, but Celesto calmed her down, “Now now, Rainbow, while all this is fascinating, we still have to keep an eye on her.”

“He’s right, Vulcan and the minions might try to capture her to get a hold on her magic.” Fluttershy added.

“Those creeps won’t lay a hand on, Sapphire." Rainbow said. The other agreed to that. That’s when Twilight came into the lab. “Guys! I found something on the radar. Off the coast." The rangers looked at each other in concern and they all went to the main room. Twilight showed the item on the radar; it looked like a metallic blue shark. “What is that?” Buddy asked. The shark was about 50 feet long. The top half of it's body was blue and the bottom half was white. It was swimming around the ocean in circles.

“Looks like a giant shark.” Sunset said.

“But they never grow that big and they are not metal.” Fluttershy replied.

“It looks like a Megalodon Zord.” Sapphire suggested.. Twilight scanned the item. “I think you’re right.”

“But what it doing out in the ocean?” Buddy asked. “It must be a wild Zord.” Twilight claimed as she further scanned it and discovered something disturbing. “Uh-oh.”

“What is it Twilight?” Celesto asked.

“It says here that the Zord is unstable.”

“Unstable?” Lightning asked.

“Since the Zord is wild that means it doesn't have a regulation on it's powers, it may attack somebody or hurt itself.” Twilight added. The rangers looked even more concern. “So what do we do?” Sunset asked.

“The only way is for one of you to tame the Zord.” Twilight replied.

"One of us?!" Rainbow cried. The rangers looked at each other in shock and concern.

"The Zord will only respond to one of your morphers. Once you get close enough the Zord will turn the same color as you."

“But who can do that?” Buddy asked. "There's no way one of us can get even close to that thing."

"There's one person who has a chance." Sunset said turning towards Sapphire. Sapphire saw all of them looking at her and caught on to what they meant. “Me?”

“You’re the only one who even has a chance at befriending that thing.” Rainbow stated.

“But-“

“And you some Zords already.” Buddy added. Sapphire rubbed her arm with a really nervous look on her face. “Yeah but... it’s a large shark. That thing might swallow me whole.”

“Don’t worry, nothing will go wrong,
Things will go right along.” Rhymey reassured.

Sapphire looked between the rangers and the Megalodon Zord. She knew if the shark goes out of control it may kill someone and she couldn't allow that to happen. She sighed and said. “Okay. I’ll do it.”

The rangers cheered. “Then let’s get you prepared.” Celesto stated.

Meanwhile, at the Prison Tower, Vulcan and the minions saw the Megalodon Zord too. “We need that Zord.” Vulcan stated. “With that kind of power, the rangers won’t stand a chance against us.” The minions liked the sound of that. “I’ve already selected a monster to help you failures” Vulcan added. The minions took offense to that but they didn’t dare protest. “Whirlpool!”

The creature appeared. His face was a wave and his body was blue and in a water shape style. He had a wand in his hands that allowed him to control water currents, making big waves and storms.

“Whirlpool, at your service.” he said. “Those rangers paint know what hit them.” Vulcan smiled. “Now go get that zord!” he ordered. “As if you fail again, I’ll make you into sushi!” His minions and Whirlpool nodded rapidly and teleported to Mystic Island.

Back at the ocean, Sapphire was swimming in the ocean with her suit in aqua mode; it had a thruster on the back propelling her through the water and a oxygen tank was also attached allowing her to breath within her helmet. Her suit now had fins on the ends to make it easier for her swim.

She was looking for any sign of the Megalodon Zord. She didn’t like the eerie surroundings of the dark ocean and being all alone didn't help.

“Guys... I have a bad feeling about this.” she whimpered. “It’s really dark out here.” The rangers contacted her via radio. “Don’t worry, we’re tracking you, so if anything happens we will know right away.” Celesto reassured. That made her feel a little better.

The radar beep and a blue blip appeared. “Sapphire, there’s a blue blip near you.” Twilight informed.

“What is it?” Sapphire asked.

“It may be the Zord.” Lightning said.

“Go check it out, Sapphire.” Celesto stated. She gulped nervously but compiled and swam towards the blip. When she reached the blimp her question was answered. “I found the Zord.” It was just swimming around in a circle.

“Okay, I’m going in.” She carefully swam to the Zord. She had a good feeling about this... until the Zord saw her. “Uh-oh.” she squeaked. The Zord began swimming towards her. She stayed completely still as the Zord circled her curiously.

At the base, the rangers, Twilight, Spike and Krysta were worried. “What’s it doing to her?” Spike asked.

“It’s circling her.” Krysta said.

“Not good. The Zord gonna attack her!” Fluttershy cried.

“Now, now, Fluttershy, don’t jump to conclusions.” Celesto replied. “Let’s see what happens.” The rangers looked at him in disbelief but they trusted their mentors word and continued watching with nervous eyes.

Sapphire watched the Zord stopped circling her and sniffed her. She closed her eyes, fearing the worst. Just then, she felt something rubbed up against her chest. She slowly opened her eyes and saw that it was the Megalodon Zord rubbing her. "At least it's friendly."

"So what do I do now?" Sapphire asked.

"You have to place your morpher on the top of the zord's nose. I'll recognize you as it's controller and become stable." Twilight answered. Before Sapphire could take her morpher off...

“Not so fast!” a voice came suddenly. Sapphire gasped and she whirled around and saw the minions and Whirlpool beside them. “Vulcan's minions and a monster!” Spike cried.

“What are they doing there?” Sunset asked.

“They’re probably there to steal the Zord!” Krysta said.

Sapphire swam in front of the Zord with a sour look on her face. “What are you doing here?”

“We’re here to take the Zord, why else?” Marla said. Sapphire knew she couldn’t let them take it, knowing they would experiment in it. The Zord roared and thrashed violently at the villains. It swam away and Sapphire grabbed onto the dorsal fin and held on tight as it swam away really fast, "WOOOAAAAHHHH!"

"Oh no!" Twilight cried.

"Oh dear." Fluttershy whimpered.

"Sapphire!" Lightning added. The others were just as worried as their friend.

"Rangers." Celesto said.

"Yes, sir. Come on guys, let's go!" Sunset snapped. The rangers nodded and headed to the hanger bay. They flew their Star Jets to the zords' location.

The Megalodon Zord swam deep into a cave where the villains couldn't see them. Sapphire let go of the dorsal fin. "... Thanks." she panted. The Zord gave a small growl. "You're not getting away that easy, Animal Ranger!" Whirlpool hissed.

"Oh no." Sapphire groaned.

"We're catching this Zord and using it for ourselves." Marla said. "Whirlpool?"

"Yes, ma'am." Whirlpool made a string of water and launched it at the Zord. The Zord roared and swarm away quickly nd once again, dragging Sapphire along for the ride. "YAAAHH! NOT AGAIN!" Whirlpool kept trying to lasso the Megalodon Zord but it evaded every attempt. Until a laser came in and blasted the water lasso. "What?" Whirlpool snarled. The monsters looked and saw the rangers in their Star Jets. "Leave the Zord alone, you creeps!" Buddy said.

The monsters snarled. "Lightning, you me and Fluttershy will go and get Sapphire." Sunset ordered. "Buddy, Rainbow, Rhymey hold off the monsters."

"Yes, Sunset." Rainbow said.

"Ready and Steady." Rheymey added.

Sunset and Fluttershy steered their jets towards the Megalodon Zord. The Zord was still smoothly swimming along. "Sapphire, are you alright?" Lightning called in.

"Yeah... I'm good. Other than a bit woozy from the speed swimming."

"Don't worry, we'll get you." Fluttershy reassured. Fluttershy and Sunset steered their jets closer, but the Zord roared at them and swam away. "What the-?!" Sunset said. She and Fluttershy tried it again and the Megalodon Zord smacked them away with it's tail. "It won't let us near Sapphire." Fluttershy said. "Now what?"

Meanwhile, Rainbow, Rhymey and Buddy were blasting the monsters with their Star Jets lasers. They were effective but the monsters had their own tricks. Marla used her hair and grabbed Rainbow's jet. "Hey!" She tossed it towards Buddy's Star Jet. "Watch it!" Luckily, he swerved out of the way and the jet stopped on it's own. Rainbow shook her head. "Alright, it's on!" Rainbow pushed the controls, sending her jets rushing towards Marla. The jet rammed her, knocking her back. "That's no fair!"

Buddy and Rhymey were blasting Keto and Bronc with their missiles. The rockets knocked the two back. Whirpool came in. "Alright, time for some waves." He waved his wand and made a large water spout and hurled it towards the three Star Jets. "Uh-oh." Buddy whimpered.

"Brace!" Rainbow cried. The three jets were sucked up into the spout. The three rangers were spun around inside. "WOAH!" The monsters laughed. "Now let's get that Zord." Bronc called. His comrades nodded and all four of them dashed towards the Megalodon Zord.

"How are we gonna get Sapphire off of this Zord?" Lightning asked.

"Maybe we can force it to stop?" Fluttershy suggested.

Just then, the two Star Jets were blasted from behind. "What was that?!" Fluttershy cried.

Whirlpool, Marla, Keto and Bronc appeared in front of the jets and Zord. "Hand over the Zord, rangers." Keto demanded. The Zord roared at the monsters and swarm quickly away, dragging poor Sapphire again, "WAH!"

"Get it!" Marla cried. The monsters chased the Zord. "After that them! We can't let them get it!" Sunset snapped. The three jets followed the monsters, "Guys... help!" Sapphire cried.

"Hang in there, Sapphire." Lightning answered. "We're working on it." The monster fired at the Zord, but once again it dodged each one and Sapphire was struggling to hold on to the dorsal fin. "Woah! Gah! Ugh!" Finally, the Zord decided it had enough of running. It turned around and blasted the villains with a powerful beam of water, actually blasting them out of the water and high into the air. "Woah!" Lightning cried. With them gone, the water spout holding the other three rangers disappeared.

"Hey, what happened?" Rainbow asked.

"No time for that, let's go." Buddy said. The three of them drove to Sunset and Fluttershy. Sapphire was glad the Zord settled and stopped dragging her around. She let go of the dorsal fin and looked at the Zord "Thanks, boy." The Zord roared in response and Sapphire took off her morpher and placed it on the Zord's snout. All at once the Zord and morpher glowed. "The Zord's becoming stable!" Twilight called in. Once the glowing stopped the Zord seemed calm and cool. "The Zord is completely stable."

"She did it!" Lightning cried. The others cheered in joy. The Megalodon Zord beamed Sapphire into it's cockpit, finalizing her control. "Alright gang, let's go home." Sunset said. The team drove the Star Jets and Zord to the surface... only to be faced with a giant Whirpool. "Surprise, rangers."

Rainbow grunted, "Enough is enough. Let's take this creep down already."

"You read my mind." Sunset agreed.

“Launch Star-Jets!”

“Summon Zords!”

The Jets were launched and came to the rangers’ aid.

Lightning leaped out of Sunset's jet, “GIGANTIFY!” and he pressed on his morpher.

“Giant-Mode, ready!”

With that, he grew into a giant, and at the same time, the other rangers combined their zords.

“Jet-Star Megazord… Ready!”

“Let’s take this creep!” said Sunset.

“RIGHT!!” the others agreed.

Whirlpool fired water spikes at the team, but Megalodon Zord flew in and smacked them back at Whirlpool with his tail. The water spikes struck Whirlpool, causing damage. "Alright, Sapphire!" Sunset cheered. Whirpool got up and waved his wand, forming a large water spout. "Time to do the wave!" he launched it at the zords, "Watch it!" Sapphire dove the Zord away.

Unfortunately, the Megazord and Lightning were consumed in a giant water spout and lifted up into the air. "WOOOOOAAAAAHHHH!" the rangers cried as they were spinning around. Whirpool laughed with glee as Sapphire couldn't bear to watch this,“Guys! I’ve gotta help them!”

That’s when a button glowed in the Zord’s console. It had a picture of the Zord inside a large stream of water. “What’s that, ...well no time to find out.” Sapphire pressed the button. “AQUA JET" the Zord roared and charged into the water spout covered in large amounts of water. It burst in and pushed the Megazord and Lightning out of the water spout and they crashed to the ground. "You guys okay?"

A little dizzy, but we're okay." Sunset answered sickly.

"Take it easy, guys I'll take care of him." Sapphire turned the Zord back towards Whirlpool. "Ready, boy?”

Megalodon Zord roared. "Now, ULTIMATE WATER!"

The zord roared and charged Whirlpool while geysers of water appeared in the background. It bashed into him and he exploded, shrunk down and was imprisoned in a sphere.

The Zord sent out it's tractor beam and beamed the monster inside the cockpit. "Monster Captured, Mission Complete!" Sapphire declared. The rangers cheered in joy.

The minions returned to the tower and were met with an infuriated Vulcan “You lost the Zord and failed again!"

The minions tried to come up with an excuse but, “Silence, seems I’ll have to teach you three a lesson.” He powered up his fists with fire balls. “About failing.” The minions freaked and ran away with Vulcan firing fireballs at them. The minions only screamed and ran. “Come back here! Don’t run while I’m firing at you!” He roared.

When, they got back at the base, Twilight and the others were glad to see Sapphire unharmed. "You sure gave us a scare when that Zord swallowed you." Krysta said.

"I'm okay. Really." Sapphire said.

"Anyway, now we have a new Zord added to our team." Celesto said. "One step closer to defeating Vulcan."

The team nodded. "Anyone hungry? Pizza is on me." Celesto added. Everybody cheered and went out for some delicious dinner after an eventful day.
