The New Adventures of The Wild Thornberrys: Invasion of the Thornberrys

Invasion of the Thornberrys is the one-hour special and the season finale of The New Adventures of The Wild Thornberrys.

Summary
A brutal battle between the Australian animals and the Bio-Battlers erupts, although Darwin refuses to fight with his Bio-Battler resorting to slapping him (Irwin's Bio-Battler also seems to refuse to fight, causing the original Irwin to ponder on what the two sides have in common).

The Thornberrys are unable to bear this senseless violence, even while Jack and Z grow tired but continue fighting. In an attempt to put an end to the ordeal, Z sums up all his remaining power for one final duel. However, just as he opens fire, Eliza runs between Jack and Z in a brave attempt to stop the fight. Z's attack hits Eliza, killing her.

Darwin and Irwin runs to Eliza's side and tries to wake her up. Darwin tries chest compression (chimpanzee style) on Eliza, while the other animals, Debbie, Donnie, Nigel, and Marianne look on. After several attempts to revive Eliza using chest compression, Darwin grows tired and stops. Realizing that Eliza is dead, Darwin and Irwin starts crying for their fallen friend, the other animals doing the same. Jack however, uses her DNA to revive her. Overjoyed, Darwin and Irwin leaps into Eliza's arms as the three embrace, happy to be reunited once again.

As everyone rejoices, Z, taken aback by Eliza's act of selflessness to save all the animals, has an epiphany over the relationship between man and beast, and realizes that the circumstances of how one is born should not be allowed to divide anyone. He leaves with his henchmen and the cloned animals, erasing everyone else's memory of the horrifying incident, knowing it is for the best.

Eliza and her family find themselves back at the gas station with no idea how they got there. Eliza looks up to the sky and spots Z flying past.
