Toxica adds that they will resurrect the fallen Generals and lead the greatest army of Orgs ever so that Orgs will once again rule the world. Suddenly their laughing and talk is broken by an off-screen voice asking what took them so long to arrive.

Taylor tells him that an Org wouldn't listen but Cole says an animal would not act without a motive so can be reasoned. However Taylor interrupts saying that he can do as he wishes but they have an org to stop and Max and Danny follow her. Alyssa stays to talk to Cole telling him that her and Max have only been rangers for about six months, Danny for about two and Cole for a day whereas Taylor has been doing it for a long time and so knows the orgs.
