After a few attempts to cut the glue off, the Rangers realize that defeating Epoxar is the only way to separate Max and Chip. Though the two attempt to prove that they are able to fight in light of the literal sticky situation, they are told to stay behind. While Max and Chip eventually get along, the others train to deflect Epoxar's glue until the Nighlok returns to glue every person he comes across to something or to each other. Following the others, Max and Chip watch their teammates fall into Epoxar's trap. With Max following Chip the two transform and manage to slay Epoxar, negating the Nighlok's glue. Claw Zord, Galleon Ship, and Bull Zord arrive to hold back Epoxar with Light Zord's support before they destroy him. Meanwhile Xehanort promises to make Ganondorf a sword and fix Larxene's Foudre in return for their services and he provides them with temporary weapons.

 * 33) Trust Me- After learning of possible Nighlok activity on an island, the Rangers travel to investigate. Upon arriving they split up into three groups. Max and Maggie encounter a young boy who tells them of an ash causing the villagers to become extremely paranoid. After warning the others via their Morphers, they attempt to regroup to form a plan but are ambushed by Larxene. Elsewhere, Xehanort ambushes Coco and Chip, and taunts them over the fact that they’re still using swords and Ganondorf attacks Jack, Joey, and Trixie, noting that Jack has become weaker upon relying on his teammates in battle rather than fighting solo. This distracts him and allows Ganondorf to injure him until Joey and Trixie take him out of the battle and into safety. Meanwhile at Azula's Lair, the Nighlok Maldan demonstrates his newly developed laser blaster weapon to Azula, with Maldan's trooper Squad using the weapon for target practice. Still enraged by Ganondorf's words, Jack runs off to fight Ganondorf, again, with Joey and Trixie in tow. They arrive at a mountain guarded by Ganondorf and Larxene that is producing the ash infecting the village. Trixie fights Larxene as Wonder Gal, as the rest of the Rangers arrive. Just then the Nighlok Maldan appears with his Trooper Blaster Squad. The Rangers use their speed to get close enough the troopers to take them out until Coco gets gunned down by the troopers reinforcements who overwhelm the rest of the team. At the last second, Mickey arrives with the Bullzooka and Galleon Cannon (gifts from Haley) and utilizing the Bullzooka, Joey destroys Maldan and his mooger squad. When Maldan revives the others hold him off while Jack the source of the ash and thus breaking Xehanort's hold on the island. Deviot takes Ganondorf and Larxene away, leaving a Papyrox and a pair of Spitfangs to keep the Rangers at bay. The team then forms Claw Armor Megazord and the Galleon Megazord to destroy the spitfangs and eventually needing to use Samurai Gigazord and UltraFleet Megazord to destroy the Papyrox. Having freed the island, the Rangers head back home.
 * 34) The Master Returns- Jack has doubts about his ability to be Red Ranger and ends up taking his anger out on the team during training. While this occurs, Azula has Octoroo demand Larxene's Foudre from Xehanort. Xehanort takes Octoroo to where he hid the weapons and then attacks him, revealing that he has no intention of handing the Foudre over and his deception of Azula is over. This causes Octoroo to retreat and cause the Gap Sensor to detect his movement. Sensing her Foudre's presence, Larxene makes her way to Xehanort's location just as the Rangers arrive to fight him and are outmatched. Using the Foudre as a shield, Xehanort overpowers Larxene until an enraged Azula arrives in her Master Xandred to annihilate both him and the Rangers, even if she is destroyed in the process from rapid energy drain. Xehanort loses the Foudre and escapes, leaving the Rangers to fight Azula, who effortlessly defeats them all. Jack in Gold Mode then takes on Azula, one on one but is still no match. After repairing Larxene's Foudre, the nearly weakening Azula is dragged back to her lair by Octoroo, who leaves the Trooper Colossal Cannon Company to finish off the Rangers. Joey watches over an unconscious Jack leaving the other Rangers led by Max to defeat the Troopers. Max uses Shogun Mode to finish the job.
