Wild Force Power Rangers

The Wild Force Rangers are a team of Power Rangers who derive their powers from Animal Crystals representing the Wildzords of Animaria. They came together to battle the evil Orgs and prevent them from conquering the world.

The Wild Force Rangers are the successors of the ancient Animarian Warriors who fought against the original Master Org and his forces 3000 years before the present day. During that battle, one of the warriors, Merrick Baliton, used the power of the evil Wolf Mask to defeat Master Org after the defeat of Animus, the master of the Wildzords. Merrick succeeded, but was cursed and became the Duke Org Zen-Aku. As such, his fellow warriors imprisoned him to prevent him from causing harm to any of his former allies. With Animaria destroyed, its last fragment, the Animarium, lifted into the sky and remained hidden for millennia.

After 3000 years, human pollution caused the long dormant Orgs to begin awakening once again, posing a threat to the Earth. As such, Princess Shayla - Guardian of the Animarium - knew that a new group of heroes was needed. The first Wild Force Ranger was Taylor Earhardt, who discovered the Animarium while flying for the Air Force. In time the group would be added to by the arrival of Alyssa Enrilé, Danny Delgado, and Max Cooper. This left the team lacking only a Red Ranger, a role that would be filled by orphan Cole Evans. Cole had been raised in the jungle after the death of his parents, and arrived in Turtle Cove-where the other Rangers lived-with his animal crystal. After some initial difficulty, he joined the team and became their leader.

The Wild Force Rangers fought numerous battles against a being claiming to be Master Org and his Duke Orgs underlings, Jindrax and Toxica. Eventually, Master Org awakened General Nayzor to battle them, and the General in turn released Zen-Aku from his ancient prison. The Rangers fought several battles with this new foe before learning of his original identity as Merrick and setting out to free him. They eventually succeeded, and Merrick became the Lunar Wolf Ranger and destroyed Nayzor. He would afterwards act as a reluctant ally to the other Rangers before eventually joining forces with them. All six Rangers would also join forces with the Time Force Rangers and their former enemies Ransik and Nadira in order to battle a trio of Mut-Orgs, hybrids of the Orgs and the Mutants who had served as foes to the Time Force Power Rangers.

Shortly thereafter, the Rangers learned the true identity of the new Master Org: Viktor Adler, a former partner of Cole's parents who had killed the two out of jealousy after discovering and ingesting magic seeds intended to revive the original Master Org. They engaged him in battle and defeated him, and he reverted to human form, presumably nullified as a threat. However, General Org Mandilok rose to threaten the world in his place. At about this time, Animus returned in the form of a young boy named Kite, and at one point stripped the Rangers of their powers due to believing humanity corrupt and unworthy of protection. However, the bravery of the Rangers convinced him to change his mind, and he restored their powers to them. Cole would then be called upon to join a team of Veteran Red Rangers to help stop a Machine Empire plot involving the evil Zord Serpentera, and proved to be instrumental in destroying the giant war machine.

Viktor Adler soon returned as a true Org, destroying Mandilok and kidnapping Princess Shayla. He was able to create an Org Heart that he used to transform into a lethal combination of Nayzor, Mandilok, and Retinax. Using his new power, he attacked the Animarium and succeeded in destroying Animus and all of the Rangers' Wild Zords. However, the heroes refused to give up, and their determination revived their Zords and awakened the other dormant Wild Zords across the globe, who combined their powers to destroy Master Org. With all Orgs either destroyed or redeemed, the Rangers returned their morphers to Princess Shayla and went their separate ways.

The Wild Force Rangers returned as part of the army of Legendary Rangers that helped the Mega Rangers defeat the Warstar Armada once and for all, fighting in a huge battle against hundreds of X Borgs and dozens of Bruisers.

## Equipment

Growl PhoneLunar CallerAnimal CrystalsAnimarium BuckleClawsJungle SwordJungle BlasterAnimarium ArmorLunar CueCrystal SaberLion Blaster
* **Growl Phone** - The Growl Phone was the phone-based morpher of the five core Wild Force Rangers, given to them by Princess Shayla. It could be operated like a conventional cell phone, and would transform from miniature animal (overlaid with the Wild Zords images) to humanoid robot modes when a morph was initiated. The Growl Phones were gold with Ranger-colored trim on the phones' animal figureheads. They had the same morphing sequence as their counterparts Gaorangers.

* **Lunar Caller** - The Lunar Caller is the Morpher of the Lunar Wolf Ranger. Shaped like a stylized wolf's head with red eyelets and finished in metallic blue and silver, it has all the same cellphone functions of the Growl Phones but is smaller and more compact. When not in use it is worn on a silver brace on Merrick's wrist. When Merrick's Wild Zords were purified and his Animal Crystals returned to him, they formed the Lunar Caller around his wrist and he somehow knew instantly how to use it. After the final defeat of Master Org, Merrick and the other Wild Force Rangers surrendered their morphers to Princess Shayla.

* **Animal Crystals** - The Animal Crystals are golf ball size spheres that are transparent and have a model of a Wildzord inside. To summon the Wildzord from the Animarium, the crystal would be placed in the Crystal Sabers and the Rangers would say, "Wildzords, descend." When Max, the Blue Ranger was chosen, the Shark animal crystal appeared in his pocket after Alyssa and Taylor saved him from an org. Cole had his animal crystal since he was a baby but remained empty until he became the Red Ranger. Also, if the Wild Zord is destroyed, so is the crystal.

**Claws** - Each Ranger has claws on their gloves, for quick short range attacks in close combat. However, these are rarely used in favour of their other weapons.

* **Crystal Saber** - Each Wild Force Ranger carries his or her own Crystal Saber. Power Animal Crystal orbs can be placed into the hilts of the Sabers to summon their respective Wild Zords with a tune, much like the Dragon Dagger once did. Also the Crystal Sabers have the ability to fire energy blasts when directed to.

* **Jungle Sword** - The five Power Weapons can combine into the Jungle Sword which serves as the primary team-weapon. All of the Rangers' combined power goes into the enormous Savage Slash attack where they swing the blades around in a half circle before flinging the tip forward, extending the blade (now glowing yellow) to cleave down the monster's middle.
	+ The Red Ranger's primary weapon. It is a stylised red lion gauntlet and can be separated into two halves (one for each hand). It forms the handgrip of the Jungle Sword. It's signature attack is the Blazing Fire where Cole charges up his Red Lion Fang with red energy and performs a devastating diagonal top right to bottom left slash.
	+ The Yellow Ranger's primary weapon. It is a yellow stylized-handled sword with a medium blade. It has Soaring Darts -feather shaped darts - contained within the hilt. It forms the upper blade of the Jungle Sword. It's main attack is the Soaring Slash where Taylor energises it with gold-yellow energy and performs a powerful double slash across the screen.
	+ The Blue Ranger's primary weapon. It consists of two blue dagger like tonfas shaped like a shark's dorsal fins. They form the crossguard of the Jungle Sword. It's signature attack is the Surging Slice where Max charges up his Fighting Fins with blue energy and cross-slashes the monster.
	+ The Black Ranger's primary weapon. It is a black stylised handaxe with two blades. It forms the lower blade of the Jungle Sword. It's signature attack is Bison Slash where Danny charges his Bison Axe up with purple energy and performs a devastating horizontal slash.
	+ The White Ranger's primary weapon. It is a white baton with a White Tiger head. It forms the handle of the Jungle Sword. The White Tiger Baton's signature attack is It can also perform the Tiger Thrust where Alyssa charges it up with white-purple energy and energy slashes across the screen in a plus sign symbol.

* **Lion Blaster** - The Red Lion Wildzord gave the Red Lion Fang the ability to transform into the Lion Blaster, which has a Gatling mode and a cannon mode. The Lion Blaster's cannon mode serves as a finisher, firing a devastating wave of red energy strong enough to defeat the Tombstone Org at normal size. The gattling mode was weaker but was still strong enough to cripplingly injure Freezer Org.

* **Lunar Cue** - The Lunar Wolf Ranger's personal weapon, capable of switching between Saber Mode, Sniper Mode and Break Mode. With it, Merrick can perform the Full Moon Slash where he charges it up with blue energy from a moon he generates behind him and slashes it into the monster to devastate opponents. It's finishing attack is the Laser Pool where he swings his Lunar Cue horrizontally, generating a massive green energy "pool table" that seals around the monster's waist and traps them in place, He would then place his Animal Crystals on the table and shove them forward with hisLunar Cue, slamming into the monster and obliterating them. This was strong enough to defeat the Quadra Org and the Toy Org with one hit. He could also use this technique to summon his Wildzords by shoving them into the sky to form the Wild Force symbol which would make them come to him.

* **Jungle Blaster** - A cannon made by combining the Rangers' secondary weapons (modeled after the set of Wildzords that form the Isis Megazord) that replaced the Jungle Sword in later episodes; it fired the Savage Blast finishing attack, a massive orange ball of energy. It should be noted that the Jungle Blaster and its parts are Power Ranger exclusive weapons.

* **Animarium Buckle** - Cole Evans, the Red Wild Force Ranger, can turn into the Red Savage Ranger by using his Animarium Buckle.

* **Animarium Armor** - The Animarium Armor is used by Cole Evans, the Red Lion Ranger. When armored, Cole is known as the Red Savage Warrior. This is his personal Battlizer and it's finishing move is the Falcon Blast, a massive blast of red energy from the wings capable of defeating Super Toxica and Super Jindrax. The Animarium Armor was obtained in the episode The Wings of Animaria, during which Cole defended Turtle Cove singlehandedly against the Orgs while the other four Rangers were trapped in a collective dream controlled by Animus, only able to free themselves if they could solve a puzzle. When the puzzle was solved, Cole obtained the Animarium Armor and the Falcon Summoner, which was used to summon the Red Falconzord (the Falconzord and the Animarium Armor are very similar in design).
