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

Just after the battle was really over, Canis replied to what Patrick said, his helmet covering the fact that he was frowning. - "You have your knowledge and your talents, well, I got my knowledge and my talents too." - he then went where Saba and Tracy are. - "Don't feel bad Saba, I have seen enough to know you are right."

  After he was also teleported with the others to the Command Center, and after hearing Zordon's words, he commented - "Zordon, it is an honour to be chosen by you to help in the fight against Lords Zedd and Rita." - he then morphed back to his human form, he smiled after seeing that the morphing made no issues with his holobelt, as he saw his hands and they look human, of course making no comments about that. But he did say to the others. - "I am also ready for the next battle, you can count on me everybody."

Patricks comments were made out of ignorance' Saba replied " i have nothing to feel bad about, as I have only limited emotional abilities in any event.. The Rangers powers are created by magic, whether he believes in it, or not, it does not matter. Magic exists otherwise your powers would not exist..

"Let's watch something on dvd while we research power rangers." The former gold ranger said walking into another room.


"Then we'll both know." The other person said.

"Don't ever teleport me here against my will Alf-Alpha." Patrick said to the robot after he demorphed. he walked up to Zordon. "Save the lectures, I'll get enough of those in collage." Patrick said as he turned to walk away.

" Like I told them. I'm not much of a people person, but when you need my help and you will call me. However it better be important." Patrick told the floating head. "So are you going to send us back, or keep us here to be your personal strike force, cause I don't see any kind of living quarters, plus I got things to do." Patrick told Zordon.

"Oh, I'm sorry," Alpha replied. "Zordon wanted to speak with you again."

Rob was now getting tired of Patrick's attitude. "Patrick, that's enough," he interjected. "The whole point of this is that we are a team now. You have to understand, none of us asked for this to happen, but it did anyway. Sure I may have thought about what it would be like to be a Power Ranger, but I never actually asked to be one. Zordon chose us for a reason, which means there is a reason why you were chosen as well. You may not want to admit it, but you were obviously destined to be a ranger, as we all were."

"You should listen to your friend," Zordon suggested. "While I may be here to alert you of danger and tell you what to do, I am not lecturing you, Patrick. I am only offering you guidance, which I know you have needed throughout your life. I know it must have been difficult to go through life without your parents, and I understand you have wanted to get even with Goldar for a long time now, but that's in the past now. This is your chance to start a new life and make it right again."

Rob looked back at Patrick, as he now understood why he was such a loner kind of person. Now it makes sense. He still hasn't gotten over their deaths. That must have been really harsh. I really wish there was a way I could help him.

Alright Patrick I've had ebnough of your loser attitude! Tracy snapped. " i'm sorry you lost your parents, but that doesn't give you a right to be an asshat! We are a team whether you like it or not,  Zordon here is our guide and counseller and you asre going to listen to him, like the rest of us. You may not believe in magic but it exists, otherwise how do you explain our powers? And these powers aren't ours to use as we see fit, they are a trust. Zordon can take them away if he feels you are not using them properly or not being a team player.We all have personal issues to deal with in our lives Patrick, but you are putting yours above the consideration the rest of us deserve.Either you shape up, or we'll find someone better suited to be a team player..

"Another Thing, I don't have any friends, I don't need any friends, and I don't want any friends." Patrick said, angry that zordon Brought up his parents.


"How dare you!" Patrick said as he marched up to Zordon. "You have any Idea what I went through, what it was LIKE?!" Patrick said as he slammed his hands on the consul. "It happened on my birthday, October seventh, 1993. My mom and I were on our way to pick up my dad. He had just secured an exclusive defense contract with the pentagon. We were coming out when I saw Goldar, he was gigantic. I was so scared I ran back inside. I wish I didn't cause as soon as My Parents ran in after me, the building collapsed." Patrick said as he turned to face the others. "I was trapped in there for hours surrounded by the smell of death and decay. I cried for my parents, but no one heard me. When Rescue workers dug me out, I saw why." Patrick said as he looked down again. " My parents shielded me with their bodies, But in doing so sacrificed their own lives ." Patrick finished, looking up at Zordon. "Where were the power rangers then. Why didn't they save my parents!" Patrick demanded.

"Now I say for the last time, send me back, now." Patrick demanded, he was not in any mood for any of Zordon' s Guidance.

Eric looked over, then causally got up, walked over to Patrick, punching him in the face and sending him sprawling.
"You stupid Jackass!  How dare you disrespect Zordon, when he's done nothing but give you a chance to protect people, and all you do is throw it back in his face?  I understand your issues, I really do!  My mother died when a monster attacked, and, unlike you, my father didn't even care enough to try to protect me!  So if you want to go, then just go!  Stop whining about it, and make up your mind!  Either stay, and help there be no more orphans like you, or just leave, and change nothing."  
He said, eyes narrowed, his hand shaking...

The moment everybody started yelling, Rob knew he had to do something. Panicking, he shot his head back at Zordon, who didn't speak but simply nodded. Rob nodded back and ran in the middle of the commotion "THAT'S ENOUGH GUYS! Fighting amongst ourselves is not going to accomplish anything except make it easier for Zedd and Rita to win! If we don't pull together and learn how to work together, we'll lose Earth to them indefinitely!" Rob looked at Tracy and Eric. "I see where you two are coming from, but just remember than he's not over his parents yet. Just take it easy on him." He walked over and helped Patrick up. "Patrick, I hate to say it, but they're right. You have to control your emotions and your feelings about your parents. You're right, none of us save Eric will know what it was like to lose our parents the way you did, but pushing us away like this is not going to help the pain. I'm not going to tell you to stay on the team, because your have the power to make up your own mind. I just want to let you know that you will have the ability to stop what happened to you from happening to anybody else again."

Zordon didn't want to say anything towards the situation. He smiled a bit as he knew Rob was doing the best he could, and he was saying the right words. He felt proud that he chose him to be the leader of the group.

Alpha kind of shuddered behind the console, not wanting to get caught up in the heat of the moment. He hoped that everybody was going to be okay after today.

Patrick stood up and walked towards Eric. " Look I know what I signed on for, but I got a meeting with my probation Officer today, so unless you want me to teleport here wearing prison scrubs, then let me be on my merry way." Patrick said as he pushed them aside. Patrick then looked at the watch-like device on his wrist. "wonder how this works." Patrick said as he pushed a button. Patrick then vanished in a streak of yellow light.

Patrick stumbled as he saw he was back at the still abandoned collage. "Works for me." Patrick said as he turned to walk away. Patrick headed to the parking lot where William rushed towards him and embraced him. " I saw the the news and rushed here as soon as I can are you alright?" He asked. "Yeah, nothing to worry about William." Patrick assured his butler.

Rob shook his head out of frustration. "He's going to be tough to deal with," he muttered. He then turned back to Tracy. "I know he's arrogant and a jerk, but I feel like we can still break through to him somehow. Let's just give him some space for now."

"Your words were quite admirable," Zordon complimented.

"I just kind of said what came to my mind. He just seems really stubborn."

"Patrick has a terrible past," Zordon agreed, "but I sense he has a pure heart. He will come around eventually."

"Aye yae yae," Alpha groaned. "Young emotions, so hard to deal with." The group laughed at the robot's complaint, and Rob looked back up to Zordon.

"Thank you for trusting us with this Zordon. We won't let you down."

"I know you wont," Zordon replied. "You all have great strength within you. Even Patrick will prove to be a valuable asset to the team."

"If he doesn't kill us out of his rage first," Rob muttered. He shrugged it off and looked at the device around his wrist. "So I'm assuming we just push one of these buttons to get out of here?"

"That is correct," Alpha confirmed. He walked over to show him how to work the device. "You push this button to teleport to and from the Command Center. You push this button here to communicate with the other rangers."

"You mean we can talk to each other with these things?" Rob asked.

"Affirmative!" Alpha replied.

Canis stepped forward and said. - "Well, I really hope Patrick will come back, if he was chosen to be a Ranger, then that means he'll do the right thing." - He then began looking at his device on his wrist. - "This device is indeed very useful, I'd like to take a deeper look on it. But I guess we should come back, before all students realize we are not there and began making some wild guesses that we are the Power Rangers." - He stepped forward and bowed to Zordon and Alpha. - "It has been an honour to meet you." - and he then looked at the other Rangers. - "see you around guys." - and he pressed the button that teleported him back to the college.

He arrived and he was alone, nobody saw him teleport there. He then began walking and saw Patrick at the distance. He sighed and began walking to the college using another route. At that moment, he thought that he cannot really understand how Patric and Eric feel, as he still has his parents and family... but they are away, far far away... for the sake of his safe stay on Earth, Canis cannot contact them.

The colllege was a mess, there are some damage made by the putties and Goldar's attacks. "It could have been worse." - he commented for himself as he was looking at the place.

John drove back to the college, deciding to do that instead of beaming in, to save power and to be less conspicuous then if he beamed in.   He parked in another of the spots where he usually parked and got out.  He decided to walk around a bit to see what the damage was to the college.

Tracy pressed the communicator and demorphed she pressed another button and teleported back to the college " Best go blend in with the others.. heres and there were holes blasted in the ground by putty attacks.. Tracy hoped no one would notice the teleporter on her worst She could say it was just a watch she had brought.. to her surprise a clock face appeared over the communicator she pressed it and it flipped over. she popressed it again and it flipped back ' cool, so these communicators also can double as watches.. very clever..

Eric snapped a jaunty two-fingered salute to Zordon and Alpha.
"Well, I should be getting back.  See you later!"
He said, teleporting back onto campus, his bag next to him.  He picked it up and started off to check the damage, when he almost ran into someone.
"Oh!  Erm.. excuse me, sir."
He said, noticing the man's faculty badge.  According to it, the man was Doctor Cranston.  He was tall, with short, sandy-blonde hair and piercing blue eyes behind a set of thin-framed glasses.  He chuckled a little.
"That's alright.  I'm Dr. Cranston.  Nice to meet you...?"
Eric smiled a little.
"Eric Murotake.  First-year.  It's a pleasure to meet you, sir."
He said nervously...

After a quick change into a black tank top, shorts and some sweat bands, Patrick was off to do community Service. This time He was scheduled to pick up trash in Angel Grove Park. When he got there, he saw the Statues of all the different Power Ranger teams who defended Angel Grove. " Hey, stop gawking and get to work." Said Marcus, his Probation officer. Patrick did just that. "Look at them Marcus, So sleek, so Powerful, so Perfect. Like Gods made flesh, of course any sensible gods would demand Tribute, or absolute Obedience. But no, Our Power Rangers keep us and protect us with no strings attached. Yet Angel Grove and the world still worships them anyway." Patrick said, Bending down to pick up a soda can.

Rob watched as the other rangers teleported out of the Command Center. He began to reach for the button when Zordon spoke. "Wait just a second, Rob. I wish to speak with you."

"Okay," Rob said as he turned around and faced Zordon. "What is it?"

"I wanted to let you know that your words for Patrick and the others held great merit," Zordon started. "You spoke with great confidence, even knowing that your friends might not have agreed with you. Such traits can only be found in a true leader."

"Thanks, Zordon," Rob replied, "but I'm not so sure about this whole thing."

"What do you mean?" Alpha asked.

"Do I really deserve to be the leader?" Rob questioned. "I know you believe in destiny and all, but is it really mine to lead the Power Rangers, let alone be one?"

"I understand your doubts," Zordon sympathized, "but I believe in you, and you must believe in yourself and your abilities."

"But what if I can't do it," Rob asked. "Goldar threw me around back there. What if I'm not strong enough to stop Rita and Zedd?"

"It was only your first encounter against Goldar," Zordon explained. "You have not fully developed with your powers, but I promise you will in time."

"There will be many more battles against Goldar," Alpha added. "I'm sure with each one you will grow stronger."

"I don't know," Rob sighed. "I just don't want to let anybody down."

"Do not stress so much on the subject," Zordon replied. "I have full faith that you make an excellent Power Ranger and an excellent leader."

"Thanks, Zordon," Rob nodded, feeling a little better. "I should head back to the school and make sure everybody's okay."

"Very well, and may the power protect you," Zordon bid farwell. Alpha waived as well as Rob pushed the button on his communicator and teleported out of the Command Center and back to the college.
