Erutan, a boy wearing a red shirt with denim,
watched as a group of teenagers littered in the woods.
Erutan made the teenagers' radio crackle, then
the wind picked up and blew leaves onto the windshield saying, "Go
away."
Erutan could disappear and reappear
spontaneously.
In the woods
during his jog a different morning, T.J. picked a
discarded paper cup out of a bush while Erutan secretly watched.
T.J. and Erutan introduced
themselves to each other; Erutan wasn't very polite, and he knew that T.J. was out jogging rather than lost.
T.J. turned to look toward
an owl's hooting, and when he looked back, Erutan was gone.
T.J. morphed while Erutan watched from
behind a tree nearby; Erutan appeared shocked by the discovery.
As Lord
Litter was coating T.J. with newspaper litter,
Erutan rushed out and commanded Lord Litter to go away, then held
out his hand, generating a wind that blew the monster away; the boy then
vanished.
In the resource
center at school with Cassie the same day, T.J.
wrote down "Erutan" and realized that backwards it spelled "nature."
Erutan was standing outside the resource center window, looking in at T.J., and T.J. ran out and chased
him to the lake.
Once T.J. had reached the lake, Erutan appeared behind T.J., then reappeared standing on the surface of the
water.
Erutan told T.J. that he'd
made the wind, and that the woods
wanted to thank him for helping them.
When T.J. asked Erutan if he
was the spirit of the woods, Erutan
replied, "Sometimes I'm the woods,
or sometimes I'm the wind or the water."
Apparently that night, T.J.
described Erutan to Dimitria and Alpha, but the scanners couldn't find Erutan in the woods; it was too late to search the woods for him now.
The next morning, T.J.
looked for Erutan on his jog.
T.J. warned Erutan that
there were evil forces that wanted to
capture him; Erutan knew but wouldn't leave, pointing out that the same
evil forces were after T.J. but that he wouldn't leave either.
Elgar, Lord Litter, and Piranhatron trapped Erutan in a net.
When T.J. told Cassie to help him get the net down, she shot it
down with her Auto Blaster, and T.J. caught Erutan.
None of the Rangers but T.J. could
see Erutan.
When Lord
Litter sent trash cans clamping onto the Rangers' bodies, Erutan held up his hand
with electricity flowing between his hand and the sky, where dark clouds
gathered; he then screamed, and a lightning bolt from above struck Lord Litter, causing him to
collapse and twitch uncontrollably.
Afterward, Erutan was extremely weakened, so T.J. stayed to help him while the other Rangers summoned the Rescuezords to fight giant Lord Litter.
Aftr the Rangers'
battle, T.J. was unmorphed, unable to help the
translucent and weakened Erutan.
Weakly walking away, Erutan told T.J. that as long as people like T.J. protected the woods, he would be okay; he then
vanished while walking away.
On T.J.'s jog through the woods another morning, Erutan ran
across the path behind him, but when T.J. looked
back, there was a deer walking by.
"Erutan."
