To Stand among Champions

I had hoped to present this story under different circumstances but such is the way of life. Back in the year 2009, I had just finished High School. That Summer I celebrated by having my Ultimate Toy Tournaments. The first Tournament I had was a Power Rangers Tournament. All together I had amassed a collection of 112 Figures. I didn't plan out any of these Tournaments. I just made my toys fight, and whoever didn't go down was the winner. From each Tournament arose three final fighters. The Final Fighters in my PR Tournament were Daggeron The Solaris Knight from Mystic Force, Tommy Oliver the White Ranger, and my big champion was in fact Shane Clarke The Red Wind Ninja Storm Ranger. He rose to the top and defeated all others. There's my epic Shane story! I have learned through a quick Google study all about Pua Magasiva's untimely passing. Truly Tragic. I even learned that just last year he married a woman named Lizz Saddler who he met online. Now she's a widow. My heart goes out to her and to the other members of his family. Also Look up Geeks.com Pua Magasiva for a great story about him saving a real life.

One of my favorite Youtubers d26126620b or as I sometimes call him DB Number Guy (I made that up after first finding him online), has a terrific Shane Tribute video on his channel. Look that up if you get the chance. As my Tournaments continued more champions arose. Kick-flip Leonardo of the Ninja Turtles, Canyon Spider-man from my Spider-man collection, Pirate Batman from My Batman collection, Miniature Iron Man from Marvel, Superman Blue from DC, JL -Wonder Woman from my female warriors, and Finally Skull Programmer champion of the Villains. There's a terrific story that goes with Canyon Spider-man and why I gave him that name. Perhaps I'll talk about that on here someday. Anyways we lost one of the best Red Rangers last weekend and I'm sure, many other Ranger fans are doing their best to face this with pride and respect. Rest easy Pua Magasiva we will always remember you. Ninja Storm was such an incredible series. The future is truly unpredictable, but we must push on and remember those who leave us and the lessons we learned from them. That is how we keep their legacy intact. Never forget true power comes from within one's soul and so does true spirit! Shane\ Pua showed that so well, he was a champion through and through! Make the most of your lives, everyone. May the Power protect us all!
