A/N 1: It's the current installment of the T5RYCB Ranger Series. This time, we go to the Dino Thunder series and look at the actions of one Trent Fernandez-Mercer. The top reason is revealed in this chapter.

A/N 2: You know the drill...Power Rangers belongs to Saban and formerly Disney as well, and T5RYCB and your new host Jonathan "The Coach" Coachman (formerly of WWE fame) belong to ESPN.

Chapter 4 - Reason 1: The Good Trent Did

(Show returns from commercial break)

"We're counting down the Top 5 Reasons You Can't Blame Trent Fernandez for his actions during, and after, his time as the Evil White Dino Ranger,"Coach says. "Before we get to our number one reason, let's give you a recap."

"Reason Number 5: Numbers Never Lie. The Rangers stood at only four members before Trent joined the team and would have been overwhelmed by Mesogog's forces."

"Reason Number 4: The Evil Ranger Legacy. Trent Fernandez-Mercer was not the first, nor was he near the last, evil Ranger in history."

"Reason Number 3: The White Dino Gem. Neither Trent, nor his adoptive father Anton, could have predicted who the White Gem would bond to when Mesogog encoded the gem with an evil spell."

"Reason Number 2: The Promise. When Trent was freed from his father's spell, he promised his father he would not reveal his secret unless he absolutely had to."

"Welcome back to our countdown," Coach says. "We've gone through reasons 2-5, and now we are at the moment of truth; here is Reason No. 1."

"The good that Trent Fernandez-Mercer did," Coach said. "Though Anton's adoptive son had his faults, while he was evil and after his evil stint, his skill set and his will to survive could never be questioned."

"You can question some of his actions, fine," Andros' wife Ashley says. "What is indisputable fact is that he had the skill set, determination and will to survive that makes a Ranger. That is fact."

"Never did his Ranger attributes shine brightest than in the wake of nearly losing his powers and his spot on the team. Not only did he save his team rival Conner from a monster, but he then took the ultimate risk which paid off as he found some valuable information," Coach said.

"When Trent told us that Anton had been split from Mesogog, we changed our plans completely. That's how we were able to save him in the first place, by Trent being able to open an invisiportal so that we could get Anton back," Kira said. "It worked out exactly as planned. It took a lot of talent, heart and courage to pull that off and he did it."

"Did he make some questionable decisions, yeah he did," Hayley said. "Is it likely we win the war without him? Not very, in my estimation. He made some big decisions that tipped the scales in our favor."

"In addition, Trent brought a skill-set to the Rangers that was invaluable. His camouflage civilian power was a major asset to the team, and his ability to control the Dragozord and Stegazord was a major factor in the Rangers favor," Coach said.

"What you have to remember is that the White Gem was basically on the same power level as the other four gems combined," Conner said. "That one Ranger had the power to beat all four of us by himself, and couple that with the fact that he had a big heart...that's why you have to overlook some of the things he did and focus on the positive."

"Fernandez is far from the first Ranger to be questioned when he came on the team, although his circumstances were a little bit different," Mia Watanabe says. "My cousin Cam, when he became the Green Samurai Storm Ranger, Uncle Kanoi didn't want him to take that power. On our team, Antonio Garcia was heavily questioned when he came into our family. But we saw what he could do and we knew we couldn't win without him."

"I was welcomed as a sixth member to the original team without question...after I almost killed them," Tommy said. "If you have a big heart, and you have the skills that Trent possessed, there's no way anyone could have said no to him being a member of the team. He came with a little baggage but we were willing to put that to the side while we were fighting for the world."

"I questioned my own husband when I first came back to the past to fight Ransik, Nadira and all their goons," Jennifer Scotts-Collins said, "so the one thing is, if you can prove yourself worthy and if you really put your heart in it, and you're skilled enough, we're pretty willing to forget about some past transgressions."

"Well, there you have the Top 5 Reasons You Can't Blame Trent Fernandez-Mercer for his actions before, and after, his time as an Evil Ranger. While past transgressions will never completely be forgotten, it's also fact that Rangers have been able to prove themselves throughout history with the skill and will to win," Coach said. "I'm Jonathan Coachman, and until next time, thanks for watching."
