August 12, 2004. The clock struck one in the afternoon at the Tokugawa Martial Arts Training Center’s main arena. With Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran all suited up, they first warmed up to keep themselves in mint condition. Sesshoumaru was punching boards and bricks, giving boulders and dummies ground and pounds as well as sprawls and brawls, and doing knuckle push-ups. Shuran was practicing his wrestling moves with a dummy by giving it sharpshooters and torture racks. Inuyasha was throwing uppercuts, jabs, crosses, and hooks on huge boulders, giving a dummy a series of piledrivers and armbars, bench-pressing, and giving the punching bag a series of powerful punches. Hakkaku was giving a series of elbow strikes and shin kicks on slabs of concrete. Ginta was throwing headbutts and knee strikes on oak logs. Ayame was practicing her punches, kicks, elbow strikes, and knee strikes on the punching bag. Shunran was practicing her palm strikes, finger strikes, tornado kicks, and roundhouse kicks on the striking post. They were going to do a whole lot of damage to each other. After their warmup, all seven martial artists entered the ring for their intense full-contact non-stop sparring session. The first matchups were Sesshoumaru versus Inuyasha, Shuran versus Hakkaku versus Ginta, and Ayame versus Shunran. The battle commenced as fast as lightning, as all seven martial artists went head-to-head. Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha charged at each other with vicious intent. Sesshoumaru delivered Inuyasha a series of front punches to his stomach, roundhouse kicks to his head, jabs to his ribs, and low kicks to his legs. Inuyasha countered all of Sesshoumaru’s attacks by delivering him the following attacks: two double axe handles to his cheeks, ten fast liver punches, a rear naked chokehold slamming him to the ground, and an eviscerating stranglehold to pin Sesshoumaru down all while he tried to subdue his younger brother with hammer fists to his flanks. The two dog Yokai brothers gave each other devastating punches, kicks, grapples, and strikes charged with feral energy. Shuran also charged at his younger brothers, with Hakkaku and Ginta doing the same to their older brother. Shuran was unleashing torture racks, bearhugs, sharpshooters, and powerslams on Hakkaku and Ginta. Hakkaku and Ginta then retaliated by giving Shuran and each other a series of elbow slashes to the chest, knee strikes to the stomach, shin kicks to the legs, elbow strikes to the face, and overhand punches to the head. No doubt was Shuran giving Hakkaku and Ginta the fight of their lives, considering how his massive size was a challenge to both his younger brothers to contend with. Ayame and Shunran were just as ferocious as the men. Ayame threw Shunran a flurry of uppercuts to her chin, jabs to her face, hooks to her stomach, cross punches to her ribs, roundhouse kicks to her thighs, spinning back kicks to her cheeks, and axe kicks to her head. In return, Shunran threw Ayame a barrage of finger strikes to her bust, palm strikes to her face, nerve strikes to her shoulders, leopard blows to her ribs, back fists to her head, tornado kicks to her cheeks, and roundhouse kicks to her stomach. That was only the beginning, as the men quickly switched sparring partners, while the women continued to spar with each other. While Ayame continued to give Shunran a barrage of uppercuts, hooks, jabs, elbow strikes, knee strikes, spinning back kicks, and regular axe kicks, and Shunran returned the favor by continuing to give Ayame multiple finger strikes, nerve strikes, leopard blows, spinning backfists, flying kicks, front punches, and palm strikes, it was time for Sesshoumaru to spar with Shuran and for Inuyasha to spar with Hakkaku and Ginta, with Sesshoumaru also sparring with Hakkaku and Ginta and Inuyasha sparring with Shuran. Sesshoumaru held nothing back for Shuran, considering all the hammer fists, ground and pounds, sprawls and brawls, straight punches, hooks, armbars, and Kimuras the former threw to the latter, making Shuran scream in pain. On the other hand, Shuran threw Sesshoumaru a barrage of German suplexes, suplex powerslams, bearhugs, chokeholds, Full Nelsons, choke slams, and leg drops, attempting to reduce Sesshoumaru into a bag of crumbled bones. Inuyasha was throwing mighty uppercuts, hooks, jabs, camel clutches, bearhugs, piledrivers, and torture racks to Hakkaku and Ginta, while Hakkaku had enough overhand punches, knee bombs, elbow slashes, elbow strikes, knee strikes, shin kicks, and low kicks to spare, and Ginta had headbutts, front punches, overhand punches, shin kicks, axe kicks, haymakers, and face punches always on standby. For exceptional measure, Shuran gave piledrivers, Full Nelsons, sharpshooters, and suplexes to Inuyasha, with Inuyasha countering his attacks with rear naked chokeholds, camel clutches, tracheal grip chokes, elbow strikes to the face, and a huge headbutt to his forehead. Sesshoumaru also gave hammer fists, chokeholds, soccer kicks, and ox-jaw strikes to both Hakkaku and Ginta, with Hakkaku countering Sesshoumaru’s attacks with his elbow strikes and headbutts and Ginta with his knee strikes and push kicks. With Ayame and Shunran giving each other a glorious beating, it was time for them to give Sesshoumaru and Shuran a thrashing they will never forget. As Shuran was continuing to strangle Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru was continuing to ground and pound both Hakkaku and Ginta, Ayame and Shunran charged at both of them with nearly murderous intent. Ayame delivered an axe kick to Sesshoumaru’s head, and Shunran delivered a palm strike to Shuran’s back, thus releasing Inuyasha, Hakkaku, and Ginta from their grasps. Ayame and Shunran snarled with bloodied grins on their faces as they were going to fight their big brothers-in-law. Inuyasha, Hakkaku, and Ginta proceeded to spar with each other much further. Inuyasha continued to give it his all with his hammer fists, low kicks, rear naked chokeholds, and ground and pounds to both Hakkaku and Ginta. Hakkaku went all out with his overhand punches, front punches, shin kicks, and knee strikes for Inuyasha and Ginta. Ginta threw his elbow strikes, elbow slashes, headbutts, and axe…

August 12, 2004. It was noon at the Tokugawa Martial Arts Training Center’s changing room. Seven mighty martial artists were about to engage in an intense sparring match. They were the two long- and white-haired dog Yokai brothers, 23-year-old Sesshoumaru and 22-year-old Inuyasha, the hulking male panther Yokai with spiky black hair, 22-year-old Shuran, and his two younger wolf Yokai brothers 21-year-old Hakkaku, who had a white mohawk, and 21-year-old Ginta, who had gray hair with a tuft of black hair in the middle; and the two long- and auburn-haired sisters consisting of 19-year-old Ayame the she-wolf Yokai and 18-year-old Shunran her younger panther Yokai sister. Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha were the sons of 41-year-old Toga and 39-year-old InuKimi, who were both prominent Karatekas, with their father Toga mainly specializing in Shotokan Karate and their mother InuKimi mainly specializing in Goju-Ryu Karate. Shuran, Hakkaku, and Ginta were the sons of 38-year-old Izayoi, an Aikidoka who was renowned for her forceful throws and precise strikes. Ayame and Shunran were the granddaughters of the 60-year-old Wolf Elder, a veteran mixed martial artist who combined Boxing, Wrestling, Kickboxing, and Muay Thai to create his own style and was still as powerful in his old age. Despite having different grown-ups raising their progeny to be the powerful martial artists they are, the seven powerful Yokai martial artists always remained a strong team and an even stronger family. Sesshoumaru and Shuran are single fathers both with fourteen adopted children, with Sesshoumaru’s ranging from 14 to 8 years old and Shuran’s ranging from 15 to 12 years old. Inuyasha has been married to Ayame for nine years, with Sesshoumaru being extremely supportive of both his younger brother’s and his younger sister-in-law’s romantic endeavors and passions, and have fourteen biological children from 9 to 2 years old. Both Hakkaku and Ginta have been married to Shunran for eight years, with Shuran also showing great support to his younger brothers for being the best men to be with Shunran for all eternity, and also have fourteen biological children from 8 to 1 year and 2 months old. Sticking together as a strong family may be one thing for these seven Yokai martial artists, but establishing families of their own also meant that their exciting legacies can last for a long period of time, especially when their children see their parents emerge triumphant in any and every martial arts tournament, and when their parents see their children grow and flourish as fighters and as people. The seven Yokai combatants were changing into their martial arts attires. Sesshoumaru the fierce Mixed Martial Arts warrior remained topless and barefoot, just as he was about to put on his white MMA shorts with an icy silver flame design on his right leg and his silver MMA gloves, while Inuyasha the Herculean Pankration champion, also topless and barefoot, was about to put on his black G-string and black Himantes or Ancient Greek boxing gloves made out of ox hide, as he was rubbing olive oil all over himself. Inuyasha, in his oiled and naked glory, flexed his tremendous biceps at Sesshoumaru, chuckling at him, “You better like what you see, big bro, because my big muscles are ready to crush you.” Sesshoumaru, also naked, responded also by flexing his biceps at Inuyasha and letting out a chuckle, “I do not fear you or your muscles, little brother. I will gladly conquer you.” Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha approached each other, and standing extremely close to each other, they flexed their biceps and grunted. “May the best man triumph, dear brother.” “Just so you know, I will own your butt, oh, favorite brother of mine.” Sesshoumaru’s and Inuyasha’s muscular bodies from their pecs to their abs were in full contact with each other, as they were growling and snarling at each other. They were then interrupted by Shuran the brutal Professional Wrestling prizefighter, who was putting on his green wrestling speedo, green gauntlets, and green ankle bands, “Hey, as soon as you guys are done trying to outmuscle each other, get your behinds ready for a good pummeling!” “You got it, Shuran!” Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha responded enthusiastically while they were still flexing their muscles at each other. Ayame the determined Kyuk Too Ki or Korean Kickboxing victor was putting on her red tank top and shorts from her husband Inuyasha’s robe of the fire rat. She also took notice of her brother-in-law’s and her husband’s nude pose down, as she approached the latter by running her fingers over his biceps and pecs. “Don’t forget to show me how strong you always are, you handsome stud.” Inuyasha flexed his bulging biceps, put them down, and made his granite pecs bounce at his wife, “Honey, you know me well. I always deliver the goods, especially for someone as gorgeous and strong as you are.” Inuyasha and Ayame kissed passionately, but Sesshoumaru, who was now putting on his MMA shorts and MMA gloves, interrupted their romantic endeavor, “All right, lovebirds, save your intimate moment for the bedroom. We are about to engage in battle.” “No worries, Sesshoumaru. I’ll make sure that I give my handsome Inuyasha a great fight.” Ayame replied as she wrapped her hands with her red kickboxing gloves, her feet with red footguards, and her shins with red shin guards. “Yeah, no worries, bro. We know exactly what we’re doing, and my babe Ayame is all mine.” Inuyasha said with a wide grin, as he quickly got into his G-string and Himantes. Meanwhile, Hakkaku the punishing Muay Boran combatant was putting on his forest green Muay Boran shorts, forest green armbands, white hand wraps made of hemp, and white ankle wraps, and Ginta the intrepid Lethwei competitor was putting on his brown Lethwei shorts, white hand wraps, and white ankle wraps. Shuran, now in his full wrestling attire, came over to excitedly greet his younger brothers, “I hope you guys are ready because I can’t wait to see what you are made of.” “We’ll definitely give you…

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…

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.
