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

Eric smirked, placing a hand out.  
"Rangers, then."
He said, smiling at the group...

"Before you go, you must understand this," Zordon warned. "Rita and Zedd will most likely expect for you to try and save Rob, so you must be prepared for resistance. You'll have to fight your way down to the lower levels of the lair. That is where Goldar's dungeon is, and that is where you will find Rob. Morph as soon as you land." Zordon took this time to further address the group. "Each of you were chosen to be a Power Ranger for a reason. Remember that you are a team first and a ranger second. Never give up on each other, and make sure you always are there for one another. I have great faith in all of you and know that you will succeed in rescuing Rob." Zordon looked at Patrick when he finished. He was happy that Patrick had learned that his attitude was not helping the group at all. It really seemed like he was willing to put everything aside for the sake of their friend. He didn't say anything; he simply nodded.

"I'm putting the coordinates in now," Alpha alerted. After pushing several buttons, he then turned to the group. "Please be careful up there!" he pleaded.

"May the power protect you," Zordon added. In a flash, the four rangers were teleported away.

"I hope they make it out okay," Alpha prayed.

"Me too," Zordon agreed.

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

"Why don't you just give up now, red ranger?" Goldar sneered. "It's obvious that you can't defeat me without your powers!"

"Don't count me out just yet, Goldar!" Rob replied. He threw a jump spinning back and followed through with an out-in crescent kick. Goldar staggered back after the first kick but blocked the second. He threw two more punches, hitting Rob square in the chest. Goldar then sweep kicked Rob from his legs, and Rob tumbled down to the ground. He rolled quickly to the side and attempted to stand up, but Gold placed his foot on Rob's chest, keeping him from standing.

"Just admit defeat!" Goldar ordered. "You can't win against me!"

"I'll never give up to you," Rob yelled. "Not as long as I'm a Power Ranger."

"You call yourself a Power Ranger," Goldar mocked, "yet you can't even defeat one opponent! You are not worthy or strong enough to be a ranger! You are a weakling!"

"You're wrong!" Rob argued, but at the same time he couldn't help but feel some doubt. Here he was, fighting one-on-one and he couldn't beat Goldar. What am I going to do? How can I beat him?

((OOC: I hope this is ok))

Rito groaned, after he got back to the moon palace, Ed put him on guard duty with serval putties to be ready for when the power rangers arrived to rescue their leader. "It's not fair, I mean sure I blabbed about the plan, it's not like I helped the rangers." He groaned. The fact that his little beatdown by the yellow ranger allowed Goldar to capture the red ranger saved him from a worse fate. "OH I wish Mom and Dad were here. " He sighed. He could tell they had been restored to, plus he got a call telling him they had almost finished reconquering the entire M-51 gallexy. They'd come to 'Visit' as soon as they were done.

Patrick Tracy, Canis, and Eric teleported onto the moon. Patrick knew Tracy was in charge, but Zordon's orders were to Morph as soon as they landed. " Zeo Ranger two :Yellow." He called out as he soon morphed into his Ranger suit. Patrick drew his Zeo defenders and stood ready. He wasn't going to pull a Leroy Jenkins.

"There is no time to waste, the quicker we are, the better." - Canis said as soon as the teleportation was over and then he Morphed too just after Patrick - "Zeo Ranger 4: Green" - His morphing gave him again quick access to his family weapon: the Wind Saber and also his Zeo Blaster. - "I am ready to follow your lead, Tracy."

Patrick nodded in agreement. "Maybe we could find a way to sneak in. Some kind of sewer, air vent, or secret entrance." Patrick suggested. "either that, or we could trick that Bone head Rito into taking us to rob. Rito seems a few rounds short of a clip." Patrick explained. " Reverse-psycholoigy might work on him, either way it's your call Tracy." Patrick said to the pink ranger.

Eric nodded and crossed his wrists, morphing into Zeo Ranger 3, Blue.
"Stealth would be easiest.  Otherwise, Boney might give us away before we find Rob.  Then, things could get really nasty, really fast."
He said, grabbing his swords as they formed next to him...

"Agreed, but I have no doubt Zedd and Rita already know we're here." Patrick said. " I bet they got a welcoming Party waiting to kill us." He said as they headed towards the base. As they treked over the Moon's surface. Patrick wished they had brought Back up. Maybe Former Rangers, Like the Lightspeed Rangers, Eric and Wes, The Over drive Rangers, anyone to help shift the odds in there favor. "I wish that Gold bum was here, we're supose to be a team, and with all your railing against Me, you overlooked the Gold Ranger's Absense." He said as they continued. "lousy alien freaks, they've all been trouble from day one, earth is better off without them. Zordon, Zedd, Rita, they're all the same, All Aliens. We don't even need the Floating head anymore. Earth has advanced enough to where we got our own Power Rangers without his so called 'Magic'. I mean I helped Build the Lightspeed and Titainium Morphers."He explained. " I also helped Build other Earth based Ranger Tech." He told the others.

Zedd's visor glowed bright red. "We have intruders in the lair! The rangers have somehow infiltrated our base! Deal with them now Putties!" As a group of Putties left to deal with the rangers, Zedd focused his attention towards Goldar. "Enough stalling Goldar! Finish off the red ranger before the others find him! Now!"

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

"It shall be done, my lord!" Goldar replied. He then turned back to Rob and smirked. "It's a shame really. I was beginning to enjoy torturing you, but it seems like the fun must end. Now I will destroy you once and for all!"

Hearing that the other rangers had come for him gave Rob some new found hope. He struggled to stand back up in pain, but the pain didn't really affect him at all. All he could think about were his friends. I can't give up. I have to defeat him somehow. I have to get back to my friends.

"Do you surrender, red ranger?" Goldar taunted.

"Never," Rob shook his head. "I'll never surrender to the likes of you, not as long as I have something to fight for!"

"What foolish things can you possibly fight for?" Goldar mocked further.

"The universe is counting on me to stop you from taking over," Rob answered, "and so are my friends!" Rob leaped into the air with a flying side kick, forcing Goldar back a few steps. "Even if I don't have my powers, I will stand and fight against you and all the other freaks Zedd and Rita send against me!" Luckily, a flash of red light circled around Rob's wrists, and his morphers materialized around them.

"No!" Goldar yelled. "It's not possible!"

"Now let's make this a fair fight!" Rob yelled. "Zeo Ranger 5: Red!" In another flash, Rob's body was encased in his ranger suit.

"You think you can defeat me just because you have your powers?" Goldar yelled back.

"I don't think," Rob replied. "I know I can!"

"Sounds like Zordon sent them to rescue the red ranger." Rita said.  "And right into our base, we'll show them and make them pay." Rita said, shaking her fist emphatically, upset and angry that the rangers had dared to try to infiltrate their base.  Her face showing her anger.

Eric chuckled.
"Now now.  Earth's tech is good and all, but there's just something about the magic that just makes me feel a little more secure."
He said, flicking his swords a little...

you don't get it Patrick. we need Zordon to help us protect the world. I mean, we';re on the freaking moon.. there's no atmosphere here to speak off and its hundreds below zero. without our suits we'd be dead right now." Tracy said. " and i'm supposed to believe that you did all that, yet still hold a grudge against Zordon? Sorry, Patrick I don't buy it. If you had, than you wouldn't be so biased against Aleins. magic is something we modern humans don't understand, but yet it continues to exist. " then the putties appeared "alright.. heres the welcoming committee. lets get them out of the way and rescue "Rioob.

Patrick turned around to face Tracy. " How long did you live in angel Grove. I was born there, I lived in fear of alien annilation from the age of five till I was eleven. Zeed, Rita, Goldar. They were figures of terror, and with all those alien freaks trying to destroy us, what was I supose to think, that only some aliens were good? Tell me do you think they'd treat us the same. either way. I only built said tech after I reversed enginered destoyed Megazord tech at our military's request request. It took years to learn bout it that the first megazord earth built wasn't deployed till mosters who claimed to be demons attacked the city of Mariner bay. I never associated Directly with the rangers I just made the earth Ranger tech, and It was because I hated Aliens that I agreed to reverse enginer the technology, so earth would no longer be helpless. " He said, turning to face the putties. " Our little chat will have to wait" He said, pulling out his blasters and shooting them. "What are you waiting for, I'll fight these push overs, go and get rob!" Patrick yelled, switching to his striker mode. He started shooting.

"Hello Rangers Miss me?" Rito asked the Rangers. " Your too late to save your Red friend, but not too late to join him." He said, firing blasts at the pink ranger.

patrick broke off his attack as he rushed to try and save Tracy. He didn't like her, but he'd be dead before he'd allow another human to die because of alien freaks.
Tracy!" Patrick shouted as he threw himself in front of the blast. Patrick fell to the ground, trying to get up but couldn't. "killing you will make sis and Ed happy. did you know I destroyed the thunder zords!" He boasted. Patrick groaned as Rito kicked Patrick in the chest. "hurts don't it?" the villian laughed. "Not as much as listiening to you talk." Patrick groaned as he struggled to his feet. "But I should thank you Rito, If you never Destroyed the Thunderzords, I'd never would've been able to get a hold of their remains and reverse-engineer it. Rito was confused. " What do ya mean?" He asked. Patrick snickered as he used his lancer mode for support. "you don't know do ya, we're not the only Rangers who still have powers, granted most of them are semi-retired, I'd esstimate around 32 or so rangers still have acess to their powers, give or take. My point is that even if you kill us, there will always be other, better and stronger teams to our place. My Point bonehead is that the Power Rangers reprsent Ideals, not individuals, therefore they..we cannot be destroyed." The yellow ranger said to Rito. Patrick had got his second wind and rushed to help the other rangers. "Alright you claybrains, you want to play rough
 ok I got a little friend who wants to play too." He said, switching his lancer to stryker mode. "Say hello to my little friend!" He yelled, blasting the putties.

John was in the lounge when he got a call on his cellphone.  

"I've been picking up some interesting readings from an area of the moon.  Thought you should come and see." Scotty said.

"Ok, let me find a place and then you can beam me up." John said quietly to the cell phone as he got up to head to the bathrooms.   He was glad his cellphone and that of the phone back at home were extra scrambled so they could have private conversations.  

Once he was in the bathroom he went into a stall and closed the door, not locking it.  "Ok, beam me up." John said.

Once in his lab he went to look at the monitor.  "Interesting, looks like I should go there." John said.

"I was thinking the same thing.  I got it ready so when you are."

John went over to the machine that turned him temporarily into the gold ranger and nodded once he was in position before the machine.  Once he had been morphed into the gold ranger he went over to the transporter pad.  

"I have the co-ordinates already entered." Scotty said.

Canis remained silent all of the time, been his transformation into Ranger words the last ones he has spoken for a while, he was just listening to the discussion between Patrick and Tracy. - "Magic does indeed exist and will continue existing after we and all of our mighty technology fade in time, because life will still exist and become new races and entities, all of them aliens to each other and very likely to be afraid of each other. I just hope they will lear as we should learn, that out there, there are good aliens, like Zordon, that will try to lend a hand." - He speaks with experience, been of another race and not a human, he knows Sirians will try to lend a hand to humans, but they have their own problems too right now.

 Then Rito and the Putties appeared - "Well, it seems your discussion ruined the element of surprise... or maybe they were watching us all along..." - he drew his saber and blaster. - "... but that doesn't matter now." - and he began attacking too.

John as the gold ranger appeared a short distance off.  He heard sounds of a fight and rushed forward so he could see what was going on.  Seeing what was going on he sent a few blasts before he moved in to melee range to begin fighting some of the puddies himself.

Canis found himself surrounded by many Putties. - "This is getting more difficult, no wonder this is the bad guy's hideout." - He was able to defeat two by making a swift attack of his Wind Saber, but then three more Putties arrived and attacked, Canis barely had any time to react when some blasts coming from the Gold Ranger's blaster - "Amazing! another Ranger!" - Canis exclaimed as he began attacking the Putties more fiercely now.

Eric spun through a group of putties, slashing them apart with a cocky grin.
"Heh.  Six of us now, huh?  Even better for us, even worse for them."
He taunted, not noticing another two putties standing up behind him before they were both defeated by a pair of laser blasts.  
"Looks like you guys need a little more help."
Came a familiar voice, as a blue-suited ranger stepped towards the group...
