This “What if Person became Friends” meme originally belongs to MagicalKeyPizzaDan and is dedicated to everybody who finds the idea of Toran and Jason being the best of friends, the staunchest of companions, and bearing a bond that puts various older brother-younger sister, let alone mentor-mentee, relationships to shame. Thus, Jason’s and Toran’s relationship can tread between the tough mentorship that Pai Mei gives Beatrix aka The Bride from Kill Bill and the sibling-like bond that rivals Orestes and Electra. Sit back, relax, and revel in Jason’s and Toran’s exceptionally formidable siblinghood and unbridled penchant for action. As I stated before in one of my previous entries revolving around the Inurangers’ version of “Forever Red”, I made Toran take on Jason’s role because she represents being the fearlessly fierce leader of her team while also making her the second-in-command and lancer to Inuyasha’s leader of the Toonami-era Red Inurangers. Yes, Jason is the original Red Ranger from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Seasons 1 to 2. Yes, Toran is the Red Zeo Inuranger from Inurangers Zeo as well as the first female Red Ranger in my Inurangers AU headcanon. Nevertheless, they both lead their respective teams with courage, resilience, and determination. Their leadership roles are not handed on silver platters. Both Toran and Jason work hard to make sure their teams are well-protected and safe from danger. They also carry a strong sense of command to the point where their presence can never be questioned. Should anybody be so foolish as to cross Jason’s and Toran’s paths, a deadly combination of Jason’s meteor brimstone and Toran’s icicle showers shall occur upon the perpetrators. They are not to be messed with at all. Their unquestioned leadership also provides them room to exercise their martial arts expertise to protect those who are in massive affliction and to empower those who aspire to be as formidable as they are. Furthermore, Jason’s muscular Herculean strength and Toran’s fiercely Athenian stamina make them physically compatible as an unstoppable duo, thus showing that strength and stamina work exceedingly well together. Jason’s abilities in Kenpo, Judo, Taekwondo, and weightlifting are wonderfully complimented by Toran’s skills in Krav Maga, Marine Corps Martial Arts, Muay Lerdrit, and Silat Melayu to the point where they can never be stopped. Sparring sessions between Jason and Toran would be filled with blood-curdling ululations and high-impact blows echoing throughout the training hall. Every fireman carry, leg wheel, tornado kick, and hammer fist Jason gives to Toran would be countered by her wristlocks, chokeholds, palm strikes, and groin strikes. Jason would be thoroughly impressed with Toran’s eviscerating attacks, while Toran would love to emulate Jason’s fierceness and formidability in battle. Jason and Toran would also possess a formidably profound mentor-student bond that sees Jason seeing the best in Toran’s skills as a warrior and person. Jason knows fully well that there is more to leadership than solely vanquishing opponents because it is important to have good friends to fall back on. Toran’s bravado for conquering her enemies with her amazing martial arts skills may make her a truly formidable warrior empress, but even she understands the unquestionable value of friendship, respect, allegiance, and personal responsibility. Jason can see in Toran a fiercely loyal and unbreakably determined warrior who will not rest until the deeds are done. He would even do her a world of good by polishing her signature attacks, so that she can prioritize effectiveness and purpose should she find herself in a compromising situation. Techniques are not the only building blocks that need to be polished. Character is just as important in Jason’s training hall, for Toran would learn the importance of camaraderie, compassion, and cooperation to grow as a warrior empress and a person. Combat prowess and character development aside, Jason and Toran would also possess a firm bond, with the former being the take-charge older brother figure to the latter’s fiercely determined younger sister figure. There are occasions where Jason tends to be peeved with Toran’s high-and-mighty attitude revolving around besting opponents much stronger than her as well as her momentarily battle lust. There are also occasions where Toran feels like Jason constantly postulates his scoutmaster values to a fault to the point where they annoy her to no end. However, to say that Jason and Toran care for each other is a mere understatement. Jason always looks out for Toran’s safety and well-being, while Toran uses her courage to protect Jason from all harm and destruction. Their steadfastness to each other remains unparalleled and will always fight against any and every adversity they face. Whenever toil, danger, and strife come to invade their happy sibling-like bond, they would push back with full abandon and never surrender. Therefore, Jason and Toran will never leave each other’s side and will always triumph. I hope you all enjoyed this, and I will see you in the next submission. Take care, stay safe, and may the power protect you, everybody. Toran from Inuyasha belongs to Rumiko Takahashi and Sunrise. Jason Lee Scott from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Power Rangers Zeo belongs to Saban and Toei.

(The Silver Hills Hip-Hop Club. A vast building that serves as a venue for several hip-hop musicians, rappers, and R&B singers to perform, especially for a huge and nearly sold-out crowd. A black limousine is parked in front of the entrance, and a throng of people are entering the club in droves. Everybody is finding their seats, with a businessman in a black blazer with black pants, black shoes, and a maroon collared shirt; a gentleman in a silver Time Force uniform, and several Silver Guardian officers seated at the very front seats. The businessman is named Albert Collins, while the Time Force officer is named Captain Logan.) Albert Collins: This is going to be quite a performance tonight. My son is part of this rap band founded by Alex and Eric, who are also two of the finest commanders of Time Force and the Silver Guardians combined. Captain Logan: Indeed, Mr. Collins. It would be an amusing experience seeing what talents Eric, Alex, and Wes have in rapping. I never thought that they would be into this type of urban music. Albert: I’m confident they will perform wonderfully. Captain Logan: So am I, sir. So am I. (The spotlight shines on a blue mechanical owl flying from the left side of the balcony, as the audience cheers loudly. The mechanical owl is named Circuit and has a voice reminiscent of a young child, as he positions himself in the center of the stage.) Circuit: Wow! This is quite the full house tonight. All right, ladies and gentlemen! Without further ado, please give it up for The Red Chrono Crew! (Circuit points his right wing to his right to introduce The Red Chrono Crew consisting of Eric Myers the jet-black-haired Quantum Ranger, Alexander “Alex” Drake the jet-black-haired first Red Time Force Ranger/current Crimson Shadow Ranger, and Wesley “Wes” Collins the blond-haired second/current Red Time Force Ranger. Circuit exits to his left, as the spotlight shines on Eric standing in the center, Alex standing on the left, and Wes standing on the right and the fast-paced hip-hop beats begin. Eric, Alex, and Wes are wearing sleeveless red tank tops, khaki pants, and black and red sneakers. Alex and Wes cross their arms while moving their knees, and Eric is ready to start the rap.) Eric: Yeah! Give it up, give it up! Silver Guardian represent! (Eric signals the audience to cheer) Time Force too! (Audience cheers loudly.) Y’all know what time it is?

Yeah, I’m the big mac daddy. Silver Guardians represent. (The Silver Guardians officers cheer loudly for Eric.) Alex: Name’s Alex Drake You cannot break My du-du-duty and authority! (Shows his Time Force badge.) Captain Logan: Word up. Time Force Officers: Boo-yah! Wes: The name’s Wes Collins Don’t need no bling Got my brothers and my sister (Lucas Kendall the Blue Time Force Ranger, Trip Regis the Green Time Force Ranger, and Katie Walker the Yellow Time Force Ranger pose alongside Wes.) And my queen! (Jen the Pink Time Force Ranger smiles, kisses Wes on his right cheek, and leads him on as if he were an obedient pet. After that, Jen breaks him off from being led on, as both she and Wes do some shimmies with smiles on their faces.) Eric: Yeah! Go, homeboy! Go, homegirl! So, y’all get ready to get a clue ‘Cuz it’s time to get busy with the- Eric, Alex, and Wes: Red Chrono Crew! (The back of the stage explodes with red smoke, as Eric, Alex, and Wes do the rock-on sign together. The crowd cheers wildly and loudly.) Albert: I never realized that Wes had it in him to rap so amazingly! Captain Logan: Alex’s rhythm and timing are impeccable! Albert: And Eric, wow, he makes a great frontman. Eric: And, now, the latest add-ons to our Red Chrono Crew. Alex: These guys are legends. Wes: And our soul brothers who need no introduction. Eric: Leo Corbett- Alex: Tommy Oliver- Wes: And Jason Lee Scott. Eric, Alex, and Wes: Give it up for our radical Red Ranger brothers, y’all! (Eric, Alex, and Wes point their fingers to their right to reveal three brown-haired men also in sleeveless red tank tops, khaki pants, and black and red sneakers entering the stage to greet the audience. The audience cheers more loudly than ever.) Jason (to Eric, Alex, and Wes): Thanks, bros! Tommy (to the audience): What’s up, everybody? Leo (to the audience): We got more coming up for you! So, let’s go! Jason: Now, everybody, go AYAH! Audience: AYAH! Tommy: Now, UYAH! Audience: UYAH! Tommy: Now, HIYA SI HIYA! Audience: HIYA SI HIYA! Leo: Now, everybody in the house, go AYAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!!!!!!! (The audience stands up, claps, and cheers very loudly. Albert, Captain Logan, the Time Force officers, and the Silver Guardians stand up from their seats and cheer for Eric, Alex, and Wes as well as for Leo, Tommy, and Jason. Eric and Leo clasp hands and give each other a hug as do Tommy and Alex as well as Jason and Wes.) Eric: Epic delivery, Leo. Leo: Amazing work you did on those bars, Eric. Alex: I love your work, Tommy. Tommy: Alex, you were totally awesome tonight. Wes: Dude, Jason, thanks for keeping up the ante tonight. Jason: No prob, Wes. By the way, you were just as morphenomenal. (Eric, Alex, and Wes take their bows as do Leo, Tommy, and Jason. The audience continues to happily cheer for all…
