The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

The ranger teleported a short distance from the battlefield. He appeared next to a tree.  He looked around to be sure he was alone.  Then he unmorphed to reveal who looked like Tommy Oliver who looked like he was the same age form around season 2.  

He pulled back the shirt sleeve on his left arm to show a normal looking watch.  He held it near his mouth.  "Jason, I've done what you said I had to do." He said.

A hologram of Jason appeared with some of the siting room in the tardis where he was.  Nearby at a table Guilmon could be seen eating some ice cream.

"Good, with that behind us its finished and done with." Jason said.

"I just didn't like saying that lie about the evil clone and getting Tommy getting the coin and such.  I wasn't evil, just controlled by a spell. & there was no dragon coin involved.  I just had the green ranger powers though Tommy removed them."

"True," Jason said, "But it had to be done since I remember you saying that to me, my younger self that is.  So it had to be done.  Shortly after the war, my younger self will remember what you said and will start looking into it.  He'll find out certain things which will lead to him meeting you." Jason said.

Tom rubbed his head, "That sounds pretty complicated, and likely a paradox." Tom Oliver said.

Jason nodded, "Time related mechanics and such is very confusing.  It is an advanced course in the time lord academy.  A whole branch of science in fact.  But that aside you ready to be picked up?" Jason asked.

"Actually I was wondering if I could stay, to help some folks here." Tom said.

Jason nodded, "Sure, if you wish.  When you're ready to travel with me again you know how to contact me." Jason said.

"I'll save you some pizza and ice cream.  Yummm." Guilmon said looking up from his meal.

"Thanks.  Tom out." Tom oliver said and turned off the communication device.  He then snapped one hand changing to the red mighty morphing ranger.  "I hope the other Jason won't mind my borrowing his color for a while." He said before teleporting back to the battlefield.

----

"How are you doing?" the Doberman asked the Siberian Husky.    

The Siberian husky looked at him, his eyes totally bloodshot, in a toon like appearance.  "I am in  major need of case of Visine." He said.  

The sheepdog made some sounds and reached into his fur, pulling out a case of Visine.  

"Thanks, just what I need." The siberian husky said, proceeding to open the case and opening the little boxes and bottles of Visine, to not put drops into his eyes but to pour the contents of each little bottle into one eye before pouring the next into the other eye, ect.

"You were really prepared." The doberman said to the sheepdog.  The sheepdog made some sounds as he reached into his fur to pull out a boyscout manual book.  

"The boyscouts say to be prepared?  Maybe I should read the book, or better I'll wait till the movie version comes out." The doberman said.

The Dragonstorm sea monsters were battling with the improvised navy on the harbor just outside the base.

A magical beam tore through a charter fishing boat that carried a depth charge launcher.

--------------------------------

The Goat signaled for the remaining artillery units to open fire on the base.

The roar of several 155 mm cannons firing was deafening.

Setsuna blew up a IFV with a series of magic bombs just as a rocket fired from a Sang-Heili helicopter gunship blasted an APC to scrap metal.

The Bull trucker plowed through some enemy soldiers and disgorged his cargo of troopers, who all took cover behind the armored truck and started firing.

Mr. Bigmouth chose to use his charged arrows. To his disappointment, the arrows were not powerful enough to do much more than scorch paint on armored vehicles.

A large explosion behind him signaled the demise of a Sang-Heili IFV.

A Great Valley slinger launched a charged rock deep into the enemy ranks. A stray mana bolt from an enemy mage struck it, causing it to detonate and shower the soldiers below with deadly rock shards.

The cruise ship/missile platform launched a cluster missile aimed at a group of Dragonstorm metal soldiers heading to the base. The missile broke apart, raining high-explosive submunitions on the hapless soldiers.

------------------------------

On the harbor, a large trawler that carried a 30 mm autocannon almost shot Gadzuki.

"You f----ing idiot! You nearly killed one of our allies!" the captain thundered.

"Sorry, Captain," the gunner said meekly. He locked onto a Dragonstorm serpent and fired.

A hail of high-explosive rounds tore the serpent apart.

(OOC - The gun is fired by remote control. Genki uses a joystick to fire the gun from inside the Mystery Machine. He does not actually touch it and is not exposed to enemy fire. I guess you could say an explosion threw him to the ground and he got hurt that way.)

------------------------------

Ms. Swimmer charged her magical crystal. She had resorted to throwing the magically charged rocks since she could not use a bow, sling or a rifle. On the other side of the coin, she had a hell of a throwing arm.

One of her rocks landed in the open gunnery hatch of an enemy Humvee. A second later, the entire vehicle burst into flames, burning soldiers ran out of the vehicle.

Zachary loaded some more grenades into his grenade launcher.

-------------------------------------

Haresh was inside the armored truck, working on some munitions. He had a piece of rubble that glowed a steady red. He picked up the rock and heaved it at some enemy soldiers. The rock detonated in a sphere of fire, incinerating them

Luckily, the sphere died out before it reached Nani's SUV.

He ducked inside as a fireball splattered against the truck's armor.

One of the Dragonstorm soldiers tossed a grenade at Nani's SUV. Unfortunately, for them, it landed on the roof and rolled right into SUV's passenger compartment.

One of the SPVDF troopers riding with them seized the live grenade, opened the door and tossed it out moments before it detonated.

"You mean not to push this flashing red button that says do not push." The doberman said pointing to the button.  

"It has some fine print.  It's a bit to small for me to read." The Siberian husky said.  The English sheepdog pulled out a magnifying glass from his fur and held it over the button so the Siberian husky could read the fine print.

"Thanks." the Siberian husky said looking at the English sheepdog then he turned to look through the magnifying glass the English sheepdog was holding.  "The fine print says, "and I mean it." He said.  The English sheepdog puts the magnifying glass back into his fur.

Growlmon digivolved into Wargrowlmon to see if he could help more in the battle.  

Jason decided to try to use the dragon dagger to see if the dragonzord would respond or not.  

The ranger appeared elsewhere on the battlefield as the red mighty morphin ranger to battle some invaders.  

Those with Jason formed a multiple rows so some could fire while some others rested or watched for foes the other wave could not see.

Terry did his best to act like as a sniper, moving after a few shots to another good place to hide and snipe.

Sara breathed some fire and did some magic to turn it into elemental fire.  

Moran used his superior strength to throw a nitro 12 (a more powerful variant of nitro nine) grenade as far as he could at some foes.

despite the defenders best efforts, the enemy kept coming. even though the number of dragonstorm dead was rapidly increasing, the battle was becoming one of attrition, and that was to Chong and Dragonstorm's advantage.

"Getting a bit lonely.  Think it's time for a change." The ranger said & snapped his fingers, changing to the white ranger.  He took out his sword.  

"Hey, you're not Tommy." Saba said.

"Not exactly.  I'm someone else you met." The ranger said.  

"Who?  you sound like Tommy.... wait, you're that clone of his.  How did you get back from the past where you were and how did you morph into the white ranger?" Saba asked.  

"I had planned to live in the time, but I later found it hard to adjust, and with no real past and seeing me involved with magic the townsfolk felt some fear of me.  Then a certain person showed up, explained he was a time lord who called himself Jason and we talked a bit.  I was prone to believe him since his tardis as he called it appeared in front of me.  He had tracked down a slight time disturbance, me.  We talked for a bit and he explained that the process of my creation had given me a direct link to the part of the morphin grid where the green ranger powers were.  He took me to another person who taught me how to fully utilize my powers and to be at one with the morphing grid.  With a direct link to the morphing grid I don't need an indirect means like a morpher and can become any type of ranger I wanted.  Since I had nowhere to go I decided why not travel with him for at least a while." The ranger said.

"Sounds like a wild story." Saba said.

"Wild maybe, but true." the ranger said.

Deimos found Briggins in the dining room. "Briggins, the jurors have reached a verdict," he said. Deimos then poured himself a glass of the sweet-bubble wine that Mr. Bigmouth had fermented.

Darren, James and Gustav were relaxing with glasses of essential water. They had been assigned to the munitions team. All three of them carried pistols in hip holsters.

"Hey Deimos! Care to join us?" Darren said heartily.

Deimos shook his head.

------------------------------

Mr. Bigmouth switched to his rifle as he fired off his last arrow. He had been shot multiple times but the essential water powered healing factor kept him alive.

A glowing red rock sailed through the air as Haresh telekinetically tossed it deep into the enemy ranks. A globe of fire expanded out from the impact site, incinerating anything in its path.

A Sang-Heili helicopter gunship crashed to the ground, killing some of the Sang-Heili soldiers, as a steel wyvern tore off its tail. Two anti-tank rockets fired from Anton and Paul reduced it to a pile of smoldering scrap metal.

Dirk swapped out the magazine on his pistol as he continued firing.

Setsuna cast confusion on a Dragonstorm mage. She grinned as the mage turned tossed a large fireball at some Dragonstorm troops, burning them alive.

A Dragonstorm soldier who saw the mage attack her own men, shot her several times. He in turn was gunned down by Rime, who was shooting from a tower within the complex itself.

Thank you Deimos' Briggins replied, finishing his drink in one gulp and headed back upstairs ' Didn't take them very long to reach a verdict.. It probably means one thing.. mosst short verdicts do.."
- Stripetail had created a barrier around the base would protect those inside from  the attacks of the enemy, at least for a time.  Stripetail had called the defenders back, so far, all ten of his team wereaccounted for, although several, particularly stitch had bullet impacts all over their body. Scooby had pulled back inside the shield for protection..

Jason's group remained behind some cover.  Jason unmorphed and reached into a pocket with both of his hands and pulled out a toon 6 shooter.   He started shooting with them then took his hands off of them with the guns remaining in the air and shooting.  Jason then morphed back to the Red Zeo Ranger summoning the dragonzord power again, so he once more had the dragonshield and dragon Dagger.  

Moran had done likewise, taking out the single toon 6 shooter he had so now he had his 2 small holdout blaster pistols to shoot with and the toon 6 shooter that also remained shooting though it had no one holding it or pulling it's trigger.
