Power Rangers: Public Enemies
Chapter 5: The Power Rangers of Mu- an explanation
Before the advent of Space Patrol Delta, it is known that Ranger teams were more sporadic and disorganized. They seemed specialized in dealing with one type of threat, and only that one type. Rarely did these Ranger teams stood up to fight the forces of evil after they had defeated their 'villain'. Notable examples include the Power Rangers Wild Force, Mystic Force and Jungle Fury. However, it is known that there are some notable exceptions, including the Lightspeed Rescue and Space Rangers. Perhaps, it is this lack of activity which helps the public forget about these teams of Rangers. The purpose of this essay is an exploration on the one Power Rangers team the general public seems to have forgotten the most: The Power Rangers of Mu.
The Power Rangers of Mu were a team consisting of six Rangers. These were Isabella 'Bella' Black, Red Ranger; Blaise De la Croix, White Ranger; Wind Lane, Black Ranger; Arthur Dent, Blue Ranger; Kenneth Dent, Yellow Ranger; and finally Jason Lee Scott, Green Ranger. Except for Jason, this team consisted of young adults, ages ranging from 16 (Wind) to 21 (Arthur). They fought against a villain named Devil Diver. They get their name from the 'sunken continent' of Mu.
Although the Mu Rangers are largely just a footnote in History, the Devil Diver is considered an outstanding villain in the Rogues Gallery of the Power Rangers. The reasons for this are thus: He nearly succeeded in his plans, and he was merely human. Although it is known that the Rangers have, in fact, faced other human villains, Devil Diver stands out for the fact that he never possessed any outstanding abilities, save for his intelligence. He counted on his own inventions to control his foot soldiers, the now extinct Rogons. He also utilized 'mystic items' such as the Orbs of Mu, to do his deeds.
The Power Rangers of Mu were active from June 2010-February 2011. Their Zords were: Red Dolphin Zord, Blue Shark Zord, Yellow Crab Zord, Black Manta Zord, White Stingray Zord, Gray Crocodile Zord, Green Kraken Zord and the Mighty Whale Carrier Zord. Their Zord formations include: Maritime Megazord, where the Crab forms the body, legs and head while the shark and dolphin made the arms; Tidal Fury Megazord. Where the Gray Crocodile formed the body and head, whilst the Manta formed the legs and the Stingray formed the arms; Kraken Centurion Mode; and the Poseidon Ultrazord, made by all the Zords getting inside the Mighty Whale Carrier Zord.
The Power Rangers of Mu were mostly unknown due to the fact that, while they were active, the rest of the World was going through the Millennial Depression. This is the name given to that time when money was scarce, and people rioted.
The Power Rangers of Mu saved the world from being flooded. Devil Diver had stolen most of the Orbs of Mu, and used them to summon the mighty Chac Mol, a rain God that could flood the world. The Rangers stopped him, but sea levels rose up about 19% thanks to the Diver. The Diver is dead now.
The Power Rangers of Mu registered in October 8 of 2011, and are officially the last Ranger team to have done so. Only two members of this team failed to register: Blaise and Jason. An arrest warrant was issued, but Jason resisted.

Sorry Lester, but this essay could have been written much better. You forgot about Echo the Scarlet Dolphin, who mentored the Rangers of Mu alongside Jason. You didn't mention the order in which the Rangers joined the team: First was Bella alongside Kenneth and Arthur mentored by Jason, then Wind and Blaise joined up a bit later. Then Jason got his Powers. You forgot to mention that Devil Diver successfully managed to nearly destroy Starfish City, Florida. You also forgot to mention the Devil Diver's real name is Jebediah Isaiah Triptikas. Blaise was an empath, why didn't you mention that? How did the Power Rangers defeat Devil Diver? Why did you forget to mention that the Rangers morphed using the Medals of Mu? And why did Jason resist arrest? Overall Grade: 71%
