This Quartet Meme originally belongs to PanDraconian-King90 and is dedicated to all of the aficionados of George of the Jungle, Basuli, Tarzan, and Maugli especially when they are united as a quartet of muscular, mighty, and magnificent jungle warrior king brothers. Sit back, relax, and revel in my fascination with Chief Keewazi’s four handsome, muscular, and awesome sons as well as my joy of keeping them brothers in my AU headcanon. Fresh off my recent piece of fanfiction placing George, Basuli, Tarzan, and Maugli on the forefront, this filled-up meme encapsulates everything I enjoy about making these four jungle warrior kings the best quartet of brothers that they are in my AU headcanon. George’s lovable brawniness as the eldest son, Basuli’s steely virility as the second son, Tarzan’s feral wildness as the third son, and Maugli’s manly rambunctiousness as the youngest son are the hallmarks that have been uniting these four strong brothers together from infancy to childhood to adolescence to adulthood plus having all four brothers being in polyamorous relationships with Namontack, Kocoum, and Hercules to their current lives as great-grandfathers. Furthermore, despite how different their skin color is, with George’s being ivory-white, Basuli’s being ebony-toned, Tarzan’s being tanned light copper, and Maugli’s being bronze-toned but approaching brown, these four brothers love each other unconditionally and care for each other with all of their hearts, minds, bodies, and souls. Nothing and nobody can ever separate the great brotherly bond that these four jungle warrior kings possess. The one physical attribute George, Basuli, Tarzan, and Maugli have is their handsomely built muscles from their bulging biceps to their alabaster abs to their tremendous triceps to their excellent Etruscan figure which they continue to have back when George and Basuli were 28, Tarzan was 27, and Maugli was 26 to this day as great-grandfathers in their fifties. Overlooking their manly muscles, George, Basuli, Tarzan, and Maugli are also powerful mixed martial artists who combine Pankration, Boxing, Malla-yuddha, Professional Wrestling, Senegalese Wrestling, Moraingy, Muay Thai, Lethwei, Kapu Kuialua, Pehlwani, Vale Tudo, and Brazilian Jujitsu with ferally animal-like attacks including using their claws, fangs, raw strength, and bulging muscles to subdue their enemies. George, Basuli, Tarzan, and Maugli respectively identify themselves as the tiger, the lion, the leopard, and the jaguar when unleashing vicious attacks and loud roars at their opponents. When these four jungle brothers are not involved in fighting tournaments, bodybuilding pose-downs either in the nude covered in olive oil and shea butter or in G-strings, and strongman contests in Africa’s arenas, especially in their home arena of Opar, they love to skinny dip in the lake, hunt for game meat in the nude while being bathed in the blood of their prey, train and work out for every martial arts tournament, bodybuilding pose-down, and strongman contest; and just cuddle each other like the close brothers that they are after an arduous day of battle and protecting their home from invaders. Chief Keewazi is certainly happy to see his beloved sons grow in strength, manliness, close brotherly love, and interpersonal fortitude and is proud to see how much they have grown as combatants, as kings, and as men. George of the Jungle is the first son of Chief Keewazi who is known for his big heart to match his equally bulging biceps, granite pectoral muscles, and overall magnificent muscles that can give heavyweights a run for their money. As the eldest brother, he does his best to set a great example for his younger siblings whether physically, thanks to his huge and magnificent muscles as a bodybuilder as well as a mixed martial artist, or morally, considering how he stands firmly for strong family ties, unconditional love, and unbreakable moral support. Therefore, his motto is that peak physical strength cannot exist alone without interpersonal strength. George always sees the best in his younger brothers from Basuli’s steadfastness to Tarzan’s loyalty to Maugli’s kindness and Basuli, Tarzan, and Maugli will always state that George is the best big brother they ever had. Despite George’s magnificent muscles and unparalleled strength as a bodybuilder/mixed martial artist, he has been known to be clumsy when it comes to him slamming into trees with a thud. Nevertheless, what always remains constant with George is the unconditional love that he has for his brothers, his best friends Mufasa, Kaj, Simba, and his father. George’s favorite things to do with his brothers are bodybuilding pose-downs, wrestling matches, weightlifting matches, and strongman contests. As a mixed martial artist, George mainly uses Professional Wrestling, Pehlawni, and Pankration and identifies himself with the tiger because his super strength and magnificent muscles mean that he can use piledrivers, bearhugs, liver punches, suplexes, torture racks, ground and pounds, and sprawl and brawls to thoroughly incapacitate his opponents. Just because George is clumsy and goofy does not mean he cannot be a dangerous fighter because his towering size and immense strength can make any combatant fall to their knees. Basuli is the second son of Chief Keewazi who is known for his bulging biceps, alabaster abs, powerful pecs, and victorious virility. Muscles and manliness aside, Basuli is just as loved and trusted as the second brother doing everything that he can to uphold integrity, honor, loyalty, respect, love, responsibility, and confidence not only as a bodybuilder, a wrestler, a mixed martial artist, and as an overall warrior but also as Chief Keewazi’s son, thus also setting a great example for himself, for his brothers, for his friends, and even for his opponents. Basuli knows fully well that respect needs to be earned through hard work, cooperation, and a confident attitude that radiates like the most brilliant of stars. Moreover, brotherhood is one trait that Basuli honors the most, for he gives unconditional support to George in all of his endeavors, loves Tarzan unconditionally as his favorite brother for life, and provides Maugli with all the compassion and encouragement that he needs in his life. There are occasions when Basuli tends to be too big…
How did Karita Mattila fare when she graduated from the virginal yet anxious princess Chrysothemis to the hysterically neurotic yet relatively stately queen Klytämnestra? Find out in my review and let me know your opinions as well.
Deep in the African jungle, where man, beast, and anthropomorphic beasts thrived together, greenery was abundant, and strength, power, courage, and virility reigned supreme, there was a huge jungle temple known as Opar. With its marbled statues of leopard men and intricate architecture of gold and precious metals, this place was inhabited by mighty warrior men and protective warrior women known as the Waziri Tribe, who also joined forces with anthropomorphic leopards known as leopard men. Surrounding Opar were mountain ranges and rivers. The Waziris were one with nature and used their resources wisely. The Waziri warrior men were strong like gorillas and lions, had muscular bodies that made giants seem like ordinary men, and were the most powerful wrestlers, grapplers, and boxers in all of Africa and the world. The women were fierce like cheetahs and were athletic like the best athletes in the world, but they were also clever and creative in terms of balancing doing pottery with fashioning tools and weapons for the tribe. The leopard men of Opar were ferocious and lethal and were also Africa’s most powerful wrestlers, grapplers, and boxers. Together, the Waziri warriors and the Oparian leopard men were a truly unstoppable force to be reckoned with. Ruling Opar and the Waziri Tribe was a wizened but powerful man named Chief Keewazi who was known for his sagacity, kindness, compassion, and courage. As a warrior, he was skilled with both his golden staff as well as his furious fists and fleet feet which were perfect for the punches, strikes, and kicks that he was able to unleash. Despite his old age and white hair, his dark ebony skin radiated with vivacity and strength, and the white toga he wore made him look like Zeus. He had four handsome, strong, Herculean, and mighty sons named George of the Jungle, Basuli, Tarzan, and Maugli who looked different on the outside, given their different skin colors, but he embraced and unconditionally loved all of them as his own like every great father would. Furthermore, Keewazi was always there to see his four sons grow from rambunctious youths to powerful warriors with bulging biceps, granite chests, alabaster abs, and beautifully shaped muscles of steel which were very useful for subduing their enemies with their bare hands and radical combat prowess that could give any boxer, wrestler, and martial artist a run for their money. George, Basuli, Tarzan, and Maugli also had powerfully earth-shattering roars that made lions, leopards, jaguars, and panthers simultaneously jealous, cower in fear, and bow in reverence. Therefore, Chief Keewazi’s four sons were the gold standard when it came to being strong warriors to the point where fellow warriors and their best friends including Kaj the leopard man as well as the lions, Mufasa and Simba, aspired to be as mighty and fierce as they were and appreciated them for their strength and courage. George of the Jungle was the first and eldest son of Chief Keewazi. He had short jet-black hair of ebony, fair skin of ivory-white, a powerfully muscular body, and was adorned in a leopard-skin G-string. He was a handsome bodybuilder and wrestler known for flaunting his mightily chiseled body for every warrior to see. Although George was a physically strong warrior, there were occasions where he was clumsy such as the multiple times that he slammed into trees while swinging on vines. Nevertheless, he constantly got back up on his feet to soldier on. Despite his clumsiness, George always appreciated his younger brothers with all his heart and protected them from harm and stayed utterly loyal to them. He also loved to have fun with his younger brothers in the forms of wrestling matches, weightlifting contests, and strongman competitions. Basuli was the second son of Chief Keewazi. He had short jet-black hair, dark ebony skin, a powerfully muscular body, and donned a red G-string as well as a jade diadem around his head. His bulging biceps, mightily muscular frame, and the sheer power in his muscles made him one of the finest wrestlers and bodybuilders ever. Personality-wise, Basuli was a staunch and headstrong warrior who loved to challenge himself in every battle he found himself in, although he can be stubborn and proud. Nonetheless, Basuli was a dutiful son to Chief Keewazi and an equally loving brother to his older brother George and his younger brothers Tarzan and Maugli. Out of all his brothers, he was especially close to Tarzan because they loved competing with each other and being feral together in terms of stripping down naked to either wrestle with their brothers or go hunting like the feral lions they aspired to be. Tarzan was the third son of Chief Keewazi. He had dark brown hair, tanned skin of light copper, a handsomely muscled body, and donned a light brown G-string. His huge biceps, granite pecs, handsomely sculpted muscles, and feral wildness made him not only one of the handsomest bodybuilders ever but also the fiercest fighters specializing in wrestling, boxing, kickboxing, weightlifting, and various strongman contests. Tarzan reveled in acting like a ferally wild animal, thus making him rambunctious, vivacious, and mischievous on occasions, especially when he loved to play rough with his brothers George, Basuli, and Maugli and his best friend Kaj when they were younger. Despite Tarzan’s wild hyperactivity, he was still a staunchly loyal soul who knew what was best for his dearest brothers and deeply cared for their father. He was especially close to Basuli, for they loved to act like feral lions by stripping down naked, roaring, and hunting for their prey using their sharp fangs, iron claws, and vicious grappling moves. Although Basuli and Tarzan might act like feral beasts and revel in it, they unconditionally appreciated each other and would never leave each other’s sides. Maugli was the fourth and youngest son of Chief Keewazi. He had jet-black hair, tanned bronze skin, a handsomely lean and muscular body, and donned a white G-string. Maugli’s handsomely built muscles, feral wildness, and fierce…

This septet meme originally belongs to Alpha-Duelist35 and is dedicated to all of the Power Rangers fans in the world. Please sit back, relax, and revel in how I perceive my personal Power Rangers dream team unmorphed. This is just the first out of ten seven-person Power Rangers dream teams I have in store. Therefore, Military Squadron Power Rangers, assemble! It’s morphin’ time! I will always argue that this is a team-up that encapsulates all seven Power Ranger suit colors red, black, white, blue, green, yellow, and pink, given that these were the colors that were introduced during all three seasons of Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers. Furthermore, regardless of how vastly different their Zords are, the Military Squadron Power Rangers are united by the common goal of protecting the earth from every invader who dares conquer the world, specifically from Stanton’s Woods all the way up to Andromeda City. Once the Military Squadron Power Rangers spring into action whether from their homebase or within the locale they are doing their battle against the monster of the week, people should be aware that their heroes are always on the job to save them from doom and destruction. All seven Military Squadron Power Rangers have their respective morphers that also function as wrist communicators from Eric’s Quantum Morpher to Jason’s Black Gold Ranger Zeonizer to Tommy’s Power Morpher to Rocky’s and Adam’s Zeonizer to Taylor’s Growl Phone to Jen’s Chrono Morpher to ensure that the communication they have in battle remains alive and well. This is also very useful when all seven rangers morph into their respective ranger suits. Just to be clear on the morphing call, if all seven rangers are involved, Eric, as he is the Red Ranger leader, would sound the call with “Military Squadron Power Rangers, assemble! It’s morphin’ time!”, thus having the morphing call lineup as follows: Tommy: White Ranger Tigerzord Power! Jason: Black Gold Ranger Power! Rocky: Zeo Ranger Three Blue! Jen: Time for Time Force! Time Force Pink! Adam: Zeo Ranger Four Green! Taylor: Wild Access Yellow! Soaring Eagle! Eric: Red Quantum Power! Red Quantum Ranger! The same morphing can also be used even when Eric is not announcing it, especially when there are between two to six people involved. When morphing individually, the Rangers would mainly use their respective calls, i.e., Jen with “Time for Time Force! Time Force Pink!” While the main morphing time call is “Military Squadron Power Rangers, assemble! It’s morphin’ time!”, it is mainly reserved for group morphs of two to all seven for the sake of team effectivity. The individual morphing calls are reserved for any ranger going at battles alone which they would rarely do, as they mostly fight as a group. Their individual modes of transportation are the following: Eric’s TF Eagle, Jason’s Gold Defender Wheel, Tommy’s White Shark Cycle, Rocky’s Zeo Jet Cycle III, Adam’s Zeo Jet Cycle IV, Taylor’s Yellow Savage Cycle, and Jen’s Pink Vector Cycle. Bearing special mention are how the TF Eagle can travel through time, the Gold Defender can function also function as a tank, the White Shark Cycle can travel through the toughest terrains, the Zeo Jet Cycle III can travel through water, the Zeo Jet Cycle IV can travel through air, the Yellow Savage Cycle can travel by both land and air, and the Pink Vector Cycle can travel by land as well as fly. When they travel as a group on land, Eric has his Quantum Automobile which can fit him and his teammates/comrades/friends inside the van, with Eric taking the wheel, Taylor sitting in the front; Rocky, Jen, and Adam in the middle, and Tommy and Jason at the backseat. When they travel by air, Taylor has her Eagle Helicopter which can fit her and all her teammates/comrades/friends, which is great for long-distance journeys. Whatever mode of transportation the seven rangers have, they will always be at their destination on the double to stop crime and protect the world. As all seven members of the Military Squadron Power Rangers are fully morphed and suited, each of them also has heightened powers that define them as well as weapons for extra ammunition to get the job done. Eric the Red Quantum Ranger has heightened combat prowess, advanced physical strength, and quicker reflexes, is armed with the Quantum Defender in both blaster and blade mode when finishing off monsters and demons, and has his Quantum Mega Battle Armor on standby for heavy-duty battles as well as quicker maneuvering. Jason the Black Gold Ranger has super strength ideal for all the heavy-lifting duties and is armed with his Golden Power Staff to incapacitate his enemies. Tommy the White Tigerzord Ranger has super speed, heightened stealth, and quicker reflexes in his martial arts moves and is armed with Saba the talking sword that can do anything from levitation to laser beam projection to lightning empowerment to controlling the Tigerzord. Rocky the Blue Zeo Ranger has heightened reflexes and more endurable combat prowess, is armed with his Zeo Laser Pistol that can transform into a sword for long-range attacks, and has his Zeo Power Tonfas for close-contact attacks. Adam the Green Zeo Ranger has quicker agility and more brutality in his combat moves, is armed with his Zeo Laser Blade that can transform into a pistol for long-distance attacks, and has his Zeo Power Axes for inflicting high-damage attacks. Taylor the Yellow Wild Force Ranger has speedy levitation, heightened agility, and more rapid reflexes, is armed with her Crystal Saber for short-range and close-quartered attacks, and has her Golden Eagle Sword on hold for tougher enemies as well as longer-range attacks. Jen the Pink Time Force Ranger has increased agility, stronger physical endurance, and quicker reflexes, is armed with her Chrono Sabers to inflict visceral pain on her enemies, and has her V5 Vortex Blaster always ready to thoroughly blast enemies to smithereens. It goes without saying that all seven Military Squadron Rangers in their morphed forms are armed and dangerous once…
This septet meme originally belongs to Alpha-Duelist35 and is dedicated to all of the Power Rangers fans in the world. Sit back, relax, and revel in how I perceive my personal Power Rangers dream team unmorphed. This is just the first out of ten seven-person Power Rangers dream teams I have in store. Therefore, Military Squadron Power Rangers, assemble! It’s morphin’ time! Fresh off my recent endeavor of writing the Military Squadron Power Rangers fanfic, in which our main seven heroes battled against a demon spreading a virus across the fictional Andromeda City, I thought it would be nice to expound on my first Power Rangers dream team. Ever since rewatching the Saban-Era of Power Rangers, I have mostly been aware of the mostly seven colors each ranger team would have, specifically red, black, white, blue, green, yellow, and pink, although each ranger team/Super Sentai team would usually be relegated to having five to six members. Nevertheless, the colors red, black, white, blue, green, yellow, and pink are the typical colors to be associated with Power Rangers suits and teams. One of the dream teams I thought would encapsulate this color scheme is the Military Squadron Power Rangers consisting of Eric Myers, the Red Quantum Ranger, Jason Lee Scott, the Black Gold Ranger, Tommy Oliver, the White Tigerzord Ranger, Rocky DeSantos, the Blue Zeo Ranger, Adam Park, the Green Zeo Ranger, Taylor Earhardt, the Yellow Wild Force Ranger, and Jen Scotts, the Pink Time Force Ranger. I would argue that this Power Ranger dream team-up exceeds my expectations in not only color-coded suits and clothes, but also in terms of personalities, skills, and how well they can work together inside and outside the military force. For the rundown of the Military Squadron Power Rangers team members, we have Eric Myers the tough warrior and valiant team leader as the Red Ranger, Jason Lee Scott the mighty muscle and strongest combatant as the Black Ranger, Tommy Oliver the stealthy strategist and fiercest fighter as the White Ranger, Rocky DeSantos the social butterfly and charismatic lancer as the Blue Ranger, Adam Park the team genius and overall brain as the Green Ranger, Taylor Earhardt the stern soldier and fierce militant queen as the Yellow Ranger, and Jen Scotts the well-rounded action girl and determined firebrand as the Pink Ranger. Together, all seven members of the Military Squadron Power Rangers would prove themselves to be a physically, mentally, and psychologically formidable team thanks to combining military tactics with martial arts skills, technological prowess, and overall knowledge of handling extremely difficult situations. Eric is the experienced militant who possesses a strong warrior moral code, for he has served as the Silver Guardians’ commander before taking on Ranger duties as the Red Quantum Ranger. His military experience with the Silver Guardians has provided him with room for him to know the ins and outs of protecting Stanton’s Woods, Andromeda City, and the world from all harm as well as heaps of competence revolving around self-defense. As an expert martial artist and marksman who specializes in Marine Corps Martial Arts, Krav Maga, Jujitsu, and Judo, he can always be relied on when it comes to helping himself and his friends out of a compromising situation. Eric’s determination to never surrender in the heat of battle, willingness to keep on improving as a warrior and as a person, unconditional loyalty to his team, and single-minded focus to ensure that no harm is done to their city are what make him an effective Red Ranger leader. When not involved in Ranger duties, Eric enjoys sparring with his friends in various martial arts, including with Tommy and Jason in Karate, Kenpo, Judo, Jujitsu, Krav Maga, and Marine Corps Martial Arts, revels in target practice with his precious Quantum Defender, and fancies himself some quiet and intimate moments with Taylor whether they sit cozily by the fireplace after a torrid day, have walks in the woods, or have nice dinner dates together on special occasions, for they trust each other with their lives. Jason is the team muscle whose physical strength is thoroughly matched by his strong willpower to keep challenging himself as a warrior, as a person, and as the Black Gold Ranger. Complacency is his greatest enemy, and he is never one to give up when the chips are down, thus showing unwavering perseverance in the face of adversity. He sets a physical example to his team through all the heavy-lifting muscle duties he has as the strongest member as well as doing his part to protect everybody from harm. While he does have the penchant for playing hero nearly all the time and demonstrates valiance, there are occasions when he beats himself up over things that are out of his control let alone the group’s control. No matter how dire or how challenging the situations are, Jason will always find it in himself to muster up every bit of courage to not falter, thus making his physical strength and formidable willpower great assets as the Black Ranger strongman. When he is not busy fighting crime with his friends, Jason enjoys working out, full-contact sports, and full-contact martial arts, with Kyokushin Karate, Judo, Brazilian Jujitsu, and Greco-Roman Wrestling being some of his favorite martial arts, as well as training hard and well with all of his friends/teammates no matter what mission may arise from Captain Mitchell. He also enjoys partaking in picnics when summer comes as well as helping Rocky out in the kitchen to create culinary masterpieces. Tommy is the fearsome fighter who lives and dies by, what he calls, the Eight Codes of the Dragon, specifically a good attitude, respect for everybody, self-respect, confidence, cooperation, discipline, dedication, and brotherhood as well as sisterhood, thus ensuring that he lives his life as honorably and full of integrity as possible, especially as the White Tigerzord Ranger. He considers himself to be a considerate fellow who wants to see the best in everybody. However, should anybody disrespect him and…
Deep in Stanton’s Woods was a spherical building encapsulated in titanium and chromium, which was the main residence of the Military Squadron Power Rangers. The Military Squadron Power Rangers consisted of seven members from different Power Rangers teams chosen to protect Andromeda City from all evil and harm. They were Eric Myers, the Red Quantum Ranger, Jason Lee Scott, the Black Gold Zeo Ranger, Tommy Oliver, the White Tigerzord Ranger, Rocky DeSantos, the Blue Zeo Ranger, Adam Park, the Green Zeo Ranger, Taylor Earhardt, the Yellow Eagle Wild Force Ranger, and Jen Scotts, the Pink Time Force Ranger. Eric the Red Ranger led his team with discipline, determination, and an iron fist, having learned from his experience as the commander of a police force known as the Silver Guardians, but was willing to sacrifice himself for his comrades and protect innocent civilians from harm. Therefore, his strong code of honor made him stand for what was right and just. Jason the Black Ranger co-led the team and was the strongest combatant, being g renowned for his sheer power and forcefulness when delivering brutal blows and submission holds against his opponents. He also possessed bundles of encouragement and motivation to not only challenge himself as a fighter but also the team in every endeavor. Tommy the White Ranger also co-led the team and was the most skilled combatant, with his main attribute being his lethal accuracy when striking his opponents down and his mastery of several martial arts including Karate, Kenpo, Judo, and Jujitsu. Martial arts skills aside, Tommy was also a patient and generous soul who saw the best in everybody. Rocky the Blue Ranger may have been a sociable charmer with a knack for parties, an equally huge appetite, and a tendency to be flirtatious with attractive young women, but he was a strong fighter who never gave up on his team and was the glue who held everybody together in times of joy, sadness, suffering, and triumph. Adam the Green Ranger was the team’s resident genius who was proficient in mechanics and medicine and was just as much of a strong and quick fighter as his teammates, thus being an exceptional combination of intelligence, quick wit, and rapid reflexes on and off the battlefield. He also used his analytical brain to strategize each plan of action before combat. Taylor the Yellow Ranger was a fierce soldier and Air Force ranger who was an expert in both hand-to-hand combat and military tactics. Physical and military prowess aside, she was also an organized and stern warrior who never fooled around with her opponents and was always willing to defend herself and her teammates from any pernicious invader. Jen the Pink Ranger was a formidable blend of beauty, brains, courage, fortitude, and stamina in her work as a Power Ranger and as a person. She was a well-rounded fighter who combined tactfulness and physical strength to overcome her opponents but also had an affinity for flowers and fashion, especially red roses and dresses made of satin and velvet. As Eric, Jason, Tommy, Rocky, Adam, Taylor, and Jen were training in their obstacle course, they were suddenly interrupted by a video call from Commander William Mitchell on the television monitor. All seven Military Squadron Power Rangers scampered to the monitor to attend to Commander Mitchell’s latest mission for them. “Rangers, this is urgent! You must head to Andromeda City immediately. There has been an influx of people being infected by a fatal virus.” Commander Mitchell proceeded to show the Military Squadron Power Rangers videos of people becoming zombified and painfully suffering from their wounds, thus having their skin explode with pus and oil. Meanwhile, a demonic entity was laughing at the people’s demise, as the sky was shrouded in damning darkness and poisonous smog. Rocky was disgusted at all the pus that he was seeing as well as the dead look on the people’s faces, “Guys, this is horrible. Who do you think could have done such a thing?” Adam got out his minicomputer, scanned the screen, and it displayed a profile of the demon responsible for the virus. “It must be the work of Jigoku-Aku. Look at the marks he has left on those people. He’s more sinister than all the past demons we’ve fought.” Tommy’s and Jason’s eyes widened with horror at the near-death terror that the people were facing because of Jigoku-Aku’s virus. “If we don’t stop him now, he’ll enslave everybody in Andromeda City.” “Right, bro, think how much he’s gonna make everybody there suffer.” Taylor responded, “Nobody has the right to infect and enslave those people.” Jen chimed in, “Not now, not ever. We’re going to bring Jigoku-Aku to justice!” Eric, after knowing what he and his teammates were going to be up against, declared, “You got that right, guys. Jigoku-Aku’s going to pay for what he’s doing to them. Commander Mitchell, you have our word. We’re going to put a stop to Jigoku-Aku’s machinations.” “Good luck, rangers, and may the power protect you.” Commander Mitchell said as the television monitor shut off. Eric assembled Jason, Tommy, Rocky, Adam, Taylor, and Jen into formation position, as he announced, “Military Squadron Power Rangers, assemble! It’s morphin’ time!”, and all seven rangers unleashed their power morphing devices. Tommy had his Power Morpher, Jason, Rocky, and Adam their Zeonizers; Jen her Chrono Morpher, Taylor her Growl Phone, and Eric his Quantum Morpher at the ready for them to transform into their suits. “White Tigerzord Ranger Power!” Tommy bellowed, as he now wore his white Power Ranger suit with a black and gold chest plate, and a white-gold helmet reminiscent of a tiger. “Black Gold Ranger Power!” Jason yelled, as he now wore his black Power Ranger suit with gold ornaments on his chest, arms, the top of his white gloves, and the top of his white boots. “Zeo Ranger Three Blue!” Rocky commanded, as he now wore his blue Power Ranger Zeo suit with a triangle visor on his helmet….
A long time ago in the lush city of Miyanomora, where cherry blossoms and red roses bloomed, making the air people breathed sweet and fragrant, there lived three firebender warrior princes named Robin, Kid Flash, and Zuko, and three waterbender healer princesses named Raven, Jinx, and Katara. The three firebender princes were the most courageous combatants Miyanomora had ever seen, with Robin being a fearlessly formidable leader, Kid Flash an athletically agile runner, and Zuko a relentlessly robust fighter. The three waterbender princesses were sagacious mages who have always fought with solidarity and honor for the people of Miyanomora, with Raven being an incredibly intellectual genius, Jinx an elegantly expert sorceress, and Katara a caringly compassionate soul. The three firebender princes and the three waterbender princesses had been betrothed to each other ever since the princes were 12 and the princesses were 10, specifically Robin with Raven, Kid Flash with Jinx, and Zuko with Katara, as there was nobody else in Miyanomora let alone the world they would rather be with than their respective betrotheds. With the princes currently 17 and the princesses currently 15, they had proven themselves worthy of each other’s unconditional love and trust. Healthy relationships and marriage prospects aside, the three firebender princes and the three waterbender princesses united their powers to keep Miyanomora safe from pernicious harm and did what they could to maintain balance. One day, Emperor Iroh, who was Robin’s, Kid Flash’s, and Zuko’s wise and loving father who had raised them all alone ever since their mother sacrificed herself to protect her family from oncoming pillagers, called the three pairs of lovers into the throne room to prepare for their triple weddings. He was happy to see his three sons and his three future daughters-in-law about to be united in conjugal unity, but also had a tinge of concern on his face, as he called them into his throne room. There was no doubt that Robin, Kid Flash, Zuko, Raven, Jinx, and Katara were pleased to see him, but his joyful expression then changed to a more furrowed one. “My dear sons and my dear future daughters-in-law, I have seen you grow in love, trust, honesty, and grace as the most beautiful couples that I have ever seen. While today would have been your special day to be married, trouble has arrived in Miyanomora. An evil demon named Akumakaijin has set foot to destroy Miyanomora and all its resources by causing toil and turmoil in the villages, temples, streams, and forests. You must unite to stop this demon right now before Miyanomora plunges into eternal drought.” “Father, my brothers, and our fiancées will stop this destruction,” Robin responded. “We will unite all our powers to cease this pillage from occurring,” Raven added. “I have faith in you, and I wish you good luck on your journey.” Emperor Iroh said, as the three firebender princes and the three waterbender princesses bowed in reverence and dashed out of the throne room. At a nearby lake where people were swimming, Akumakaijin began his reign of terror. He was a hulking demon with bronze horns on his head, crimson skin that was all scaly and rough to the touch, neon green eyes like lasers, spear-like fangs, sword-like claws, and a bellowing roar loud enough to make even a Tyrannosaurus Rex sound like a house cat. He breathed sulfuric acid from his mouth, making the air have a putrid smell and making plant life droop. The people who were swimming earlier scampered away from this terrible demon in panic and distress. Meanwhile, Robin spotted Akumakaijin causing chaos at the lake, and he along with Kid Flash, Zuko, Raven, Jinx, and Katara headed out to conquer the demon. “Your reign of terror ends here, Akumakaijin!” Robin boomed. “You have caused enough destruction!” Kid Flash roared. “We will stop your wanton chaos and restore order!” Zuko bellowed. “You have messed with the wrong people!” Raven hollered. “You are going to have a taste of what our powers are like!” Jinx yelled. “And we are going to give it to you right now!” Katara cried out. Akumakaijin approached the six mages, bent down to their level, let out a huge and terrifying laugh, and blasted them with a fireball emerging from his hands. “You puny, insignificant fools think you can challenge me?! Do you think you have the strength to save your precious city?!” Robin, Kid Flash, Zuko, Raven, Jinx, and Katara arose slowly, as they still felt the pain inflicted from Akumakaijin’s fireball. “We’ll do what we can to defeat you and protect Miyanomora!” Zuko groaned as he got back up on his feet. “Even if it means sacrificing our lives to protect the people!” Katara added. “So, what are you waiting for, demon?” Robin demanded. “Let’s do this!” Robin, Kid Flash, Zuko, Raven, Jinx, and Katara exclaimed unanimously. Akumakaijin charged himself up again with full power, as flames and brimstone erupted from all parts of his body. Robin, Kid Flash, Zuko, Raven, Jinx, and Katara readied their bending stances and charged headfirst into the demon also charged up with their respective powers. Akumakaijin then slashed the three firebender princes and the three waterbender princesses in one fell swoop, thus making them crash to the ground with earth-shaking thuds. Just as Akumakaijin was about to overcome the six mages once again, something amazing happened. They sprang back into action once again to deliver some powerful attacks that did a huge number on Akumakaijin. Robin lept up the air and unleashed seven powerful jabs, hooks, and cross punches fueled by fire to Akumakaijin’s eyes. Kid Flash created a fiery whirlwind to disorient him. Zuko formed a flame-like spear to throw at his stomach. Raven, Jinx, and Katara raised their hands to recite the incantation “Aquarios Metrion Zinthos” and unleashed a tidal wave from their hands to extinguish Akumakaijin’s flames. To add further damage to the demon, Raven shot icicles from her hands to his eyes, Jinx flung ice blades from…
(The Angel Grove Concert Hall. Millions of Power Rangers fans young and old enter the building to watch the Forever Red rap concert. Everybody finds their seats, thus anticipating today’s event. The curtain rises to reveal a robot with a discus-like head and a lightning emblem on his chest. The robot is short and is colored gold, red, and purple and is named Alpha 5.) Alpha 5: Ay yi yi yi, what a full house this is! Greetings, Power Rangers fans from all over the world. Welcome to the show. My name is Alpha 5, your host for tonight’s concert. Do you know what time it is? Audience: Yeah! It’s Red Ranger Rap Time! Alpha 5: You said it, and here they are now! (Alpha 5 exits the stage, once the offstage hip hop beats played by Bulk, a rotund man on the turntables, Skull, a skinny man on percussions, Lieutenant Stone, a tall man on the keyboard, and Professor Phenomenous, an old man on the brass instruments, commence. Jason Lee Scott from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Aurico from Mighty Morphin Alien Rangers, Tommy Oliver from Power Rangers Zeo, Theodore Jay “TJ” Jarvis Johnson from Power Rangers Turbo, Andros from Power Rangers in Space, Leo Corbett from Power Rangers Lost Galaxy, Carter Grayson from Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue, Wesley “Wes” Collins, Alex Drake, and Eric Myers from Power Rangers Time Force; and Cole Evans from Power Rangers Wild Force emerge from backstage all dressed in red t-shirts with their names imprinted on them, crimson pants, and black rubber shoes to greet the audience.) Jason, Aurico, Tommy, TJ, Andros, Leo, Carter, Wes, Alex, Eric, and Cole: Hey, everybody! Jason (to the audience): All right, everybody, we hope you all enjoy the show. Tommy (to the audience): So, let’s not waste any more time, and let’s rap! Jason, Aurico, TJ, Andros, Leo, Carter, Wes, Alex, Eric, and Cole: Right! (The eleven Red Power Rangers start dancing by moving their hips, moving side to side while clapping, moving their hands from side to side, and doing a few turns. They then form their first formation, with Jason in the front and Tommy following behind him.) Jason: My name’s Jason, and I am the OG! Leading my team is no easy feat! Tommy: Yo, I’m Tommy the dude with mad moves! Putties better run before I do my groove! Hiya si hiya! Ayah si hey! Choo! Choo! Hai! Hee! Hey! Oh! (Tommy does a series of punches, high kicks, knife-hand strikes, and spear-hand strikes and lands his final pretend punch on Aurico. Aurico pretends to be hurt by holding his nose, and Tommy has an exaggerated expression of shock. After that display, the eleven Red Rangers continue to dance and form another formation, with all eleven of them lined up in a straight line, before Aurico steps up front.) Aurico: My name is Aurico And I’d like you to know That you are not alone When we run the show. TJ: ‘Sup I’m TJ! I’m always on the go. Shifting into turbo truly brightens my day! (Aurico and TJ swing their hips left and right before all eleven Red Power Rangers dance by moving left and right and doing light kicks to the front. Eric remains standing, as the ten other Red Rangers squat to the ground.) Eric: The name is Eric And I win every hour With my super awesome Quantum Power! (Eric makes a step to the left and pulls his arms back with his fists clenched. He opens his hands wide, moving them from side to side. Finally, Eric leaps into the air with a spinning kick, lands down with two front punches, raises his arms, and crouches down before Wes stands up.) Wes: Hey, I’m Wes! And I’m feeling great! Protecting and serving are my prime mandates! (Wes puts his left foot to one side, his right foot to the other side, and does a small leap before stretching his arms up high and the remaining ten Red Power Rangers stand up to dance by moving from side to side. They crouch down with Alex standing up.) Alex: My name is Alex And there’s no place to run ‘Til my comrades and I get our duties done! Hyah! Eyah! Ho! Shoo! To! Yah! Choo! Yah! Hai! Ho! Hai! YAH! (Alex launches front punches, knife-hand strikes, and a huge roundhouse kick, thus demonstrating that he is not a man to mess with. After Alex’s martial arts display, the eleven Red Power Rangers make a new formation, with Andros in the center and Cole in the right.) Tommy, Jason, Aurico, TJ, Leo, Carter, Wes, Alex, Eric, and Cole: Here comes Andros looking absolutely fly! Andros: Justice and peace will never leave us dry! Tommy, Jason, Aurico, TJ, Leo, Carter Wes, Alex, and Eric: Look! There’s Cole with his great big heart! Cole: These guys have helped me improve my martial arts! (Cole bows, gets into his fighting stance, and does a knife-hand strike as if he were breaking a board.) Leo: My name’s Leo, and I roar really loud. Tommy, Jason, Aurico, TJ, Andros, Leo, Carter, Wes, Alex, Eric, and Cole: We do the right thing, and it makes us really proud! Last comes Carter, and we’re all complete! Carter: We’re heroes through and through, and it feels mighty sweet! (Tommy, Jason, Aurico, TJ, Andros, Leo, Carter, Wes, Alex, Eric, and Cole jump around in circles standing straight while the “Go, Go, Power Rangers! Mighty Morphin Power Rangers!” chords play. After jumping around, all eleven Red Power Rangers face the front and extend their arms up in the air with smiles on their faces. The audience claps loudly. All eleven Red Power Rangers take their bows.)
