The Free Rangers start out in the [[Foyer]], being commanded to attack [[Chibi-Robo]] by their leader, Sarge.

After a certain point in the game, some of them go AWOL and leave the Free Rangers for their own paths in life. The ones that stay continue their training in order to defeat the family dog, [[Tao]], since he had kidnapped the smallest Free Ranger, Memphis. During the mission to stop Tao, the other Free Rangers come back to help. Once Memphis is rescued, they realize Tao isn't bad, teaching everyone a lesson about friendship and respect.
