| Master Mao was the
Sensei and Master of the Pai Zhuq, “Order of the Claw.” He had
chosen Casey, Theo & Lily to be the guardians over the chest
containing the spirit of Dai Shi. However, when the enraged Jarrod
attacked him with his Black Lion Spirit, Dai Shi escaped from his prison
and destroyed Mao.
Mao ordered his three students to go to
Ocean Bluff and find their new Master. But while RJ is now the
team's master, Mao still watches over them in his spiritual form.
After the Rangers were defeated & RJ
had been captured by Dai Shi, the heroes went back to the Forbidden Room
at the Pai Zhuq school. There Master Mao came to them, and after
some pleading, opened the door to the Spirit World form them, so that
they could find the other three great Pai Zhuq Masters.
Later, Master Mao confronted Jarrod / Dai
Shi. He tried to get Jarrod to realize that he was still good and
for him & the Black Lion Spirit to break free from Dai Shi's power.
When Casey was on his way to save Jarrod
and free him from Dai Shi, Master Moa appeared and tried to talk Casey
out of it. He told his former student that Jarrod was gone and
there was no hope for him. But Casey refused to believe that and
continued on. Thankfully, Casey turned out to be right.
In the battle
against Dai Shi's Beast Army, Master Mao and all the other Masters
reached the highest level of their Animal Spirits, morphing them into
actual human animal warriors. With this power, they were able to destroy
the remains of Dai Shi's Beast Army. However, Dai Shi then took
their spirits, allowing him to regain his true Dragon Form.
But in the end, Casey,
Lily & Theo, with the help of Jarrod & Camille, were able to
finally destroy Dai Shi for good, and return the animal spirits back to
the masters.
