The hunters force the brothers in the building and Darah orders Zord to search for Yubi. Benji flings the hunters' lasers across the room, allowing the brothers to apprehend them and tie them up. B.J. then reveals Zax to Farley and Benji and Zax come up with a plan to defeat Zord. Benji leaps on Zord and Zax destroys him. The brothers then place the hunters on their truck and wave goodbye to Yubi.
