Orko was soon back at the palace. Everyone sure was happy to see him. One particular thing knew he was there and he left his people feeling like such a shame. Maybe if he defeated the ringbearer he could get what he has been denied.

He came into the palace. "Who are you?" a guard asked.

"I am Aremesh an electroid from planet Elecson I wish to talk with Orko the ringbearer," Aremesh said.

"Why are you here to see Orko?" the guard asked.

"My people and Trollans came from the same part of the universe and our people are allies," Aremesh said. Aremesh knew that part was true. "I wish to discuss something with him," he said.

So the guards let him past.

"Orko it is so good to have you home," Adam said.

"It is good to be home Adam," Orko said.

"We really missed you Orko," Teela said.

"I missed you guys too," Orko said. "It has been almost two weeks since I have been back," he said. "It feels great to be back in the palace," he said.

Then Aremesh approached.

"Who are you?" Man at arms asked.

"I am Aremesh I am an electroid from the planet Elecson from the part of universe Trolla is in," Aremesh said. "I wish to talk to Orko the ringbearer," he said.

"I am Orko the ringbearer what do you want?" Orko asked.

"I mere as for a fight a test of skill," Aremesh said. "I wish to test my skill against a Trollans," he said.

"So you mere want a skill test fight?" Orko asked.

"Yes my people do it to show their skill under a time limit, and it will show how impressive of an electroid we are," Aremesh said. "Our people do it in many ways will one to test our skills be just fine?" he asked. "Because we sometimes do it against ones from other planets to see if we are well rounded, so I would be honored if you accept my request," he said.

"Well Aremesh if we want to do that we have to go someplace where we won't damage anyone's property or cause any bystanders to get hurt," Orko said.

"Very well," Aremesh said.

They went to a clearing to do so. "Okay I got my watch set for five minutes and go," Man at arms said.

"Here it comes Orko," Aremesh said attacking with energy.

Orko managed to dodge and attack back hitting Aremesh. The blasts went back and forth until Aremesh almost got crushed by rocks until Orko saved him. Aremesh was wondering about that.

"Times up and Orko wins," Man at arms said.

"Thanks," Aremesh said and left. Then after that for the next days Aremesh kept coming back to do so.

"He seems relentless," Teela said. "It is almost like he's trying to prove something," she said.

"Or prove himself," Damien said.

Then the oracles appeared. "Hello what is going on?" Azron asked.

"Yes we thought we would visit the palace to see how things were going," Foosabella said.

"Well the thing is an electroid named Aremesh from planet Elecson is here, and he is been doing the skill challenge fight with Orko for a few days now," Teela said.

"Funny Elecson electroids normal will leave after winning or losing and not press the matter," Vana said.

"I feel like he is trying to prove something," Teela said.

"Or himself," Damien said.

Then Aremesh challenged Orko again. "Very well," Orko said. The fight soon started in a clearing and things were getting crazy.

Aremesh was doing things in quickly and trying to avoid his past mistakes. While Orko was putting up a very good fight.

"Orko is doing well," Ero Dee said.

"But it's clear that Aremesh is no slouch," Masde said. "It's obvious he's a hard worker," she said.

"Yes but why does he keep challenging Orko?" Cringer asked.

"Yes it is very strange to say the least," Vana said. "I have met his people and helped mend relations with Trolla with them. I find it most unusual," she said.

"I wonder what is going through that Aremesh's head," Adam said. "It is almost like he trying beat Orko for some reason," he said. "Even though I think he knows he has no chance of winning," he said. "It is like he must got in his head that beating Orko might give him something he wants," he said.

"But what could that be?" Damien said.

Aremesh was about get crushed by a falling pillar from a ruin and Orko saved him again. "You saved me again," Aremesh said. "Why do keep saving me? Why?" he asked.

The other's approached. "I see you have quite amazing skill Aremesh," Orko said. "But when I look into your eye sensors I see great pain," he said.

Aremesh saw himself a young a electroid being treated badly and being laughed at whenever something happened to him. Then Aremesh looked ashamed and started crying. "I am so sorry for bothering I better go now," Aremesh said.

"Aremesh use your skills, to do the things you were always denied by others long ago," Orko said.

"What?" Aremesh asked.

"Respect and compassion," Orko said.

"Thank you, I know I have a purpose at last to help you and your friends to learn to help give what I have been denied, and maybe some day I will return home and show my fellow electroids that treating others the way I was treated is never okay," Aremesh said.

"Aremesh we will gladly welcome you to help learn here, but first you need to talk to the king and queen," Orko said.

Aremesh came up to the king and queen in hopes of being allowed to stay to learn the ways of respect and compassion. "Of course you may stay," King Randor said. "You will be able to learn much of those ways from our masters of the universe and Orko." he said. "But you will be expected to be on your best behavior," he said.

"Of course," Aremesh said. "Thank you, your majesty," he said. He was happy to be there.

"Aremesh we are glad to have you here," Orko said.

"I am glad be here too and I am ready to learn." Aremesh said. "Maybe if my people finally learn to how to respect others and have compassion for them maybe wouldn't need to do many skill challenges to prove our worth to others," he said.

"That would be great," Orko said.

"Maybe you might be the key your people need for this change," Vana said.

Everyone agreed to that.

"Hi in today's story you read how Aremesh thought that beating Orko would get him respect," He man said. "Truth is beating someone in fight won't always get you respect," he said. "It might get you disrespect, or make people think you are bully," he said. "Just remember to get respect you must give respect." he said. "Until next time," he said.
