"Hello everyone, and welcome back to Enter, GokaiBlack! Here to do the disclaimer for Chapter 2 is Captain Marvelous!"
Marvelous: "I don't see why you picked me to do this for you. Can't you do it yourself?"
"Now, now, Marvey-Chan. Don't be such a stick in the mud."
Marvelous: "Call me that again, and I'll keelhaul you."
"Right, right. Now just do the damn thing so we can get on with the story."
Marvelous: "Fine. Drago3511 doesn't own the Super Sentai or Power Rangers series. He only owns his OC, Sean Sky-Uchiha, and anything else he made up on his own."
"Thanks Marvelous, now let's make this chapter showy!"
(Last time, on Enter, GokaiBlack!)
"You do realize that this means that we'll have more questions for you when you're done healing us." Marvelous spoke. Sean just chuckled and continued to prepare the spell, as did his clones.
"Yeah, but it only seems fair. I'll tell you my story once you're all patched up and we get somewhere safe." Sean and his clones invoked the spell in perfect sync and healed the Gokaigers wounds and mended their clothes. When the job was done, the clones dispersed in individual clouds of smoke. "Alright then, now to get somewhere else." Sean muttered.
"We'll head to the GokaiGalleon." Marvelous stated. He pulled out his Mobirates and punched in the numbers '5-5-0-1'. After he did that, he closed his Mobirates and a giant red pirate ship flew overhead and dropped its anchors, securing it to the ground.
"Oh yeah, that'll do." Sean raised his hand over his head in a saluting position to block what little sunlight there was left from reaching his eyes... and he smirked.
(Now)
All six people boarded the massive flying red pirate ship after Sean healed everyone's injuries. It was very spacious, he could tell that much. He was walking in front of everyone and made his way to the living room-type area of the ship, where Navi was waiting for the Gokaigers on the leather chair in the middle of the room.
"Wow, nice ship. Only pirate ship I've ever been on, but I can tell that it's the best one." Sean said with a smirk. Navi flew off of her place on the chair and right up to Sean's face.
"Who are you? I've never seen you before." Navi squawked in her robotic voice. Sean smiled and pet the metallic head of the robotic parrot.
"My name's Sean. Who might you be?" He asked in return.
"I'm Navi! It's nice to meet you. Did Marvelous and the others bring you here?" Before Sean could answer, he felt something cold and metal poke at his back. He turned his head to see Marvelous pressing his Gokai Gun to his back. Sean only sighed, raised his hands in the air and slowly turned around.
"Is this the thanks I get for saving you guys?" He asked calmly. The other Gokaigers walked into the room and lined up on both sides of Marvelous.
"We're grateful to you for saving us, but that doesn't mean that we trust you." Marvelous said with a blank look on his face. The only ones who looked uncomfortable with this were Ahim, Doc, and Luka. Joe had his doubts, but he stood by his captain. Sean only sighed and hung his head.
"Look, I have nothing against you guys. If you want my full coöperation, you have it. I won't try anything, you have my word on that. Ask me anything you want and I promise that I'll answer to the best of my ability." His words seemed to reach Marvelous, because he lowered his weapon.
"But..." Marvelous' grip tightened on his weapon, ready to raise it again.
"In return, I get to ask you all one individual question, and then a question as a whole. Does that sound fair?" Sean asked. Marvelous looked at his crew, and they all nodded their heads in agreement. The red pirate turned his head back to face Sean.
"Fine. But you have to tell us everything we want to know." He put extra emphasis on the 'everything' for a reason. Sean only nodded his head and walked over to the couch that was up against the wall, sitting down and putting his hands together on the table.
"Alright, what do you want to know about me?"
"Why do you have Ranger Keys?" Sean chuckled at the question.
"Somehow, I knew that was going to be your first question. I only just got these Keys a little while before I came to save you, on a request." Sean said, taking all the Ranger Keys he had and laying them out on the table. In order, the keys went:
GokaiBlack
Phantom Ranger
Titanium Ranger
Elephant Ranger
Bat Ranger
Shark Ranger
Paleo Crimson
Paleo Silver
Paleo Cyan
Sean picked up the Phantom Ranger key to show to the Gokaigers.
"I got my Ranger Keys from this guy, the Phantom Ranger."
"Why did he give you the keys?" Marvelous asked next.
"He wanted me to help you guys fight the Zangyack Empire. They're a threat to not only the Earth, but the whole universe." Sean put the key back on the table.
"These keys actually shouldn't even exist." Sean said, catching the attention of the pirates.
"What do you mean?" Joe asked this time. Sean gathered up all the keys and spread them out further from each other, putting them in different areas of the table.
"All of these Ranger Keys, except for my GokaiBlack key, are all from rangers who don't exist. At least, not here. The Phantom Ranger told me that there's a universe parallel to this one, where these rangers exist. But only there." The space pirates couldn't believe their ears. A whole universe, parallel to the one they inhabit, where there are Rangers that only exist specifically there.
"I don't know why he gave me these keys, but he entrusted them to me, and me alone. They have nothing to do with your quest for the Grand Powers of the past Super Sentai." Once again, Sean gathered up the keys, putting them away this time.
"Next question?"
"Who are you?" Joe asked.
"Was wondering why you didn't ask that first. Okay then, my name is Sean Sky-Uchiha. I'm 16 years old and I was born in America. I'm 6'2, blue eyes, brown hair, exceptionally skilled with a sword, and I love animals. That's all I can really tell you." Joe nodded, sensing that it was a good enough answer for what he asked.
"Why did you save me?" Everyone turned to see Luka, with her hands clutched to her heart. All the Gokaigers knew Luka to be a strong girl who didn't take crap from anyone and always spoke with an air of pride. This was very unlike her.
"Well, like I told the Phantom Ranger, I'd help you guys-"
"That's not what I mean!" Luka interrupted him. All the Gokaigers looked at her in shock. Sure, it was a very Luka-like outburst, but something was off about it, her voice sounded a bit weak and shaky. Sean sensed the emotion in her voice and lowered his head for a moment.
"It's because I didn't want to see anyone else die in front of me." This answer shocked the Gokaigers and they all looked at him, especially Luka.
"One time, someone important to me died in my arms. She was originally the enemy, but she couldn't bring herself to kill anyone. She was innocent, pure... but she died by my Sensei's hand, defending the one person she truly cared about. She bled out in my arms, using her last breath to tell me that she loved me, and to experience her first, and only kiss." The pained memory of Haku's smiling face still scarred his brain to this day.
"That's why... that's why I don't want to see anyone else die. I already once thought that one of my best friends wound up dead, and then she had to die. I'll protect everyone important to me with my own two hands." His answer left the ship dead silent, even Marvelous and Joe hung their heads for a moment.
"I'm sorry... I didn't know." Luka stammered.
"It's fine. It's a painful memory, but it's nothing I can't handle." Doc and Ahim weren't the interrogation types, so they refrained from asking questions.
"Would you like some tea?" Doc asked. Sean looked at him with a smile and nodded.
"That'd be nice, thanks." Doc nodded and walked into the kitchen to prepare the beverage. As he did that, everyone just stood (or in Sean's case, sat) there silently.
It was a very awkward silence, but just as Sean was about to say something, an alarm went off in the room, and a monitor on the wall by a computer console brought up a map of Japan. Doc ran out of the kitchen and into the room, rushing to the console and started typing rapidly. The map showed a trail starting from Hiroshima all the way to Kyoto.
"There have been reports of abnormal winds rushing through the streets of Hiroshima, Okayama, and Kobe, and it's making its way to Kyoto." Doc stated.
"Do you think it's the Zangyack?" Ahim asked.
"Let's find out." Marvelous said. The Gokaigers nodded and went to make their leave. Sean was about to get up, when Marvelous spoke up.
"You stay here." He ordered. Sean froze on the couch and looked up at him.
"What do you mean? I saved you guys before, so let me prove my worth by helping you with this!" Sean shot up from his seat and walked over to Marvelous, their eyes met in a deadlock.
Marvelous stared intensely, Sean doing the same. Earthy brown met ocean blue in a heated silence.
"You're staying here. This isn't your fight."
"Like hell it isn't!" The outburst caught the other Gokaigers off guard.
"Look, I've already fought and defeated two Zangyack commanders. That automatically makes me involved! Suppossing they don't know about me yet, I can give you guys an advantage." All this was true. Marvelous kept his steely gaze up until...
"Ah, mou. Marvelous, we should let him fight." Marvelous turned to Luka and gave her the same look that he was giving Sean just a moment ago. She seemed to be back to her old self, because she had her usual smirk back on her face.
"C'mon, you saw how well he can fight. He's no slouch, he can hold his own. I say we let him."
"I agree with Luka." Ahim spoke up. Doc also nodded his head in agreement and Joe gave a smirk, showing he was all for it.
Marvelous eventually gave in.
"Fine. But you're only backup. You'll join the fight when it's nesseccary. Until then, you're waiting on the deck of the Galleon."
Sean seemed satisfied with that, as he gave a mock salute.
"Aye aye, Captain!" This caused a chuckle to come out of the red pirate.
"By the way, I'm Captain Marvelous." He introduced.
"Joe Gibken."
"Luka Millfy."
"I'm Don Dogoier, but you can call me Doc. Everyone else does."
"My name is Ahim de Famille. It's a pleasure."
Now everyone knew each other's names.
"I'm heading down to the cockpit. We'll weigh anchor where the occurence has stopped." Marvelous spoke. Everyone else nodded and Marvelous made his was down.
(Outside Kyoto)
"Aw man, I wonder where he is. Following his trail wasn't easy, but it led me to this place."
The one who is currently speaking was a reptilian being with a black helmet that had a facemask. It had the body of a velociraptor but it was in a black jumpsuit that covered its entire body, but stopped at the ankles, shoulders, and tail base. It's arms, feet, and tail were blue, it had blade-like elbows, and it had balls underneath it's feet. On it's chest was a symbol that looked like an orange hourglass inside a circle. There was a black sideways triangle on either side of the hourglass.
"Ugh! First my best friend disappears, then I'm dropped in Japan, where apparently people can understand me and I can understand them, and now I can't even find him."
As the being vented to itself, the GokaiGalleon flew overhead, drawing the attention of the being.
"Okay, that's not something you see every day. Looks cool though." It's faceplate shot up, revealing a slender blue face and orange eyes, which went wide when one of the anchors dropped and was falling towards him.
"WOAH!" He sped away at lightning quick speeds and stopped abruptly, about 60 feet away from where the anchor dropped.
"Hey, watch where you park that thing!" He shouted up at the ship. It was then that five figures jumped down in front of him. Apparently, they were all human too, but landed expertly on their feet. Considering that they were hanging on to ropes, that might explain why.
"Sweet entrance." The creature said. The figures just looked at it for a moment until the one in the red coat stepped forward.
"Are you the one who's been running around?" He asked. The creature had a confused look on its face.
"Huh? Well, I guess. How do you know about that?" He asked in confusion. The one in the red coat smirked and pulled out some weird cellphone, as did the other four with him. Then they pulled out some little figurine-like things and struck a pose.
"Gokai Change!"
"Goooookaiger!"
The five figures transformed into...
"Pirates?" The creature asked confusingly.
"GokaiRed."
"GokaiBlue."
"GokaiYellow."
"GokaiGreen."
"GokaiPink."
"Kaizoku Sentai: Gokaiger!"
The flamboyant entrance really shocked the creature, especially when they pulled out pirate swords and pistols.
"Let's make this showy!" GokaiRed said. The creature just had a smirk on its reptillian face.
"If you guys want to play the transformation game, that's fine by me. It's actually my specialty. Let's see how you guys handle..."
The creature raised its clawed hand and slammed the symbol on its chest. A flash of blinding orange light emitted from it and surrounded the creature. When it died down, the Gokaigers couldn't believe their eyes. No longer standing there was the blue velociraptor creature, but in its place was a tall, extremely muscular anthromorphic tiger with one claw sticking out of each of its wrists. The same symbol was on its chest as well.
"Rath!" The Gokaigers had no way to respond to what they just witnessed. Especially with what was coming next.
"Let me tell you something Kaizoku Sentai: Gokaigers! Rath's just looking for his friend, then you had to show up and get in Rath's way! That can only mean that you kidnapped Rath's friend! And nobody kidnapps Rath's friend, but Rath!"
The pirates couldn't make heads or tails of what the bipedal tiger man was talking about, especially with the way he was talking. Kidnapping? They may be pirates, but they weren't those kinds of pirates.
"Listen, you Zangyack freak. We don't know what you're talking about, or what you're up to, but we're gonna stop you right here and now." Luka stated, swinging her sword in her hand.
"Huh? Listen Pirates, Rath has no idea what this Zangyack thing is. But if you want a fight, then Rath's got plenty of fight to give!" Rath charged at the five space pirates, his wrist claws extended out past his balled up fists. GokaiRed tried shooting at him, but the bullets didn't even seem to damage him, let alone seem to cause him any pain from the impact.
"Bullets?! You think you can stop Rath with bullets?!" Rath got within five feet of the Gokaigers, and they scrambled to get out of the way of a wild right hook that could have hit all of them. GokaiBlue charged forward and tried to slash at Rath with his Gokai Sabre. The blade collided with the claw on Rath's left wrist and caused sparks to fly.
"You think your little razor will hurt Rath? You couldn't even give Rath a nice haircut with this thing!" Rath swatted GokaiBlue away and knocked him into GokaiGreen. GokaiPink threw her Sabre at GokaiYellow, and Yellow threw her Gun to Pink. They caught the weapons and GokaiPink started firing both her guns at Rath. The bullets just bounced off the Appoplexian and made him growl. GokaiYellow attacked with both of her swords, but Rath caught both her wrists in one hand.
"Rath usually doesn't hurt girls! But when girls try to hurt Rath, that's when Rath makes an acception!" Rath chucked her at GokaiPink and slamed his right claw into the ground, causing a shockwave. The female pirates collided and were flung up off the ground by the shockwave, knocking them over to the other three.
"You're gonna need some more muscle if you're gonna tussle with the Rath!" Then he roared into the air, balling up his fists and pumping them into the air.
All the pirates stood up and hit the button on top of their belts, flipping them around to produce more of those figurine key things. They pulled out the cellphones and flipped the figurines into keys again.
"Gokai Change!"
"Deeeeenziman!"
The Gokaigers outfits changed into jumpsuits of their colors with white stripes going across them and white belts with a D-shaped logo on them. They also got white boots and white gloves that went up to their forearms. The area from the wrist to the forearm was also in their ranger colors. They all got a white scarf and different helmets materialized over the ones they had.
"Denzi Punch!" All the transformed pirates got on metal boxing gloves and rushed at Rath. Blue punched him in the gut, Green gave him a sloppy left hook to the jaw, Yellow gave him an uppercut, Pink double-barreled his chest, then Red bashed his face in. Rath went flying and literally slammed into a mountainside, leaving a Rath-sized crater. Rath groaned and fell face-first onto the ground. He shook his head like a wet dog and snarled. He got to his feet and pointed an index finger at the five.
"Let me tell ya something, crazy costume changing pirates! Rath is started to get sick of you guys! If you won't tell Rath where his friend is, then Rath will beat the living snot out of you until you won't be able to move, until you tell Rath where he is!"
What Rath did next would confuse the pirates. He grabbed the symbol on his chest and rotated it counter-clockwise, hearing a clicking sound. Then Rath slammed on the dial. The pirates were expecting him to change his shape again, but they weren't ready for this.
Four things protruded from the symbol on Rath's chest in an X-shape. Then an orange light started to streak over Rath's body, making noticeable changes. Rath got furrier. His fur got extremely shaggy. The white fur on his body turned a dull gray color and his orange fur changed into a darker gray color. The black lines covering his body and his wrist claws turned orange in color. He grew orange claws on his toes and his legs turned more cat-like. Two dark grey and orange stripped tails grew out from his tailbone. He grew cat ears on his head and his eyebrows shrunk down to a normal size. He grew whiskers on his face of the lighter gray color and a trail orange hair sprouted from his back and ended at the top of his head, forming a crazy mohawk.
When the change was complete, he roared in complete animalistic-ness.
"Ultimate Rath!"
Ultimate Rath looked at his opponents and smirked, showing his incredibly sharp fangs.
"Now, let's tussle!"
(On the deck of the GokaiGalleon)
Sean was watching the fight from onboard the GokaiGalleon. He didn't know that he could monitor the fight from the living area, so he could barely make out the entirety of the fight. There were these orange flashes of light that kept occurring and after each one, the Gokaigers seemed to be having more and more difficulty fighting whatever they encountered.
"Looks like that others could use some help. I think it's time to make an appearance." He said with a serious face. He pulled out his Mobirates and his Ranger Key and jumped off the deck of the Galleon.
"Gokai Change!"
"Goooookaiger!"
Sean transformed into GokaiBlack and fell down to where his new team was. He fell for a good 200-300 feet before somersaulting and landing on the ground in a crouch, right in-between Ultimate Rath and the reverted Gokaigers, who were struggling to keep up with the fight.
Ultimate Rath stopped in his tracks when he saw the newcomer.
"Oh, so you had a sixth pirate the entire time? WELL LET ME TELL YA SOMETHING BLACK PIRATE! IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THERE ARE SIX OF YOU, OR A HUNDRED OF YOU! ULTIMATE RATH WILL PUMMEL YOU ALL INTO THE CENTER OF THE PLANET!"
Upon hearing the term "Ultimate Rath", Sean looked up at the tiger man and stood up to his full height. The being in front of him had at least three feet on him and was extremely intimidating. He noticed the symbol on the being's chest, but something came to mind.
'Wait, it can't be Ben who came from his own universe unless Paradox brought him. I never even went to that universe. Furthermore, the symbol is orange, not green. Could someone have stolen the Ultimatrix?'
"Be mindful of his claws. He can fire them from his wrists and they'll paralyze any part of your body they make contact with." GokaiGreen said. GokaiBlack nodded and pulled out his Gokai Sabre. Then he charged at the bipedal tiger. Ultimate Rath was ready to counter, but GokaiBlack slid between his legs and slashed at his back. It felt like striking an iron wall.
Ultimate Rath turned around and attempted to backhand the black pirate, but he jumped over the arm and onto his head.
"GET OFF ULTIMATE RATH'S HEAD!" Ultimate Rath brought both of his fists up to try and double slam him. But GokaiBlack jumped off as he brought his fists down, he ended up slamming his head. The impact caused Ultimate Rath to get a little light-headed and dizzy, speaking childish gibberish.
"Lemme tell ya something fishy. You're going in Ultimate Rath's stomach..."
GokaiBlack could only chuckle at the display.
"I guess it's true what they say. Size isn't everything." Then he hit the button on his belt and pulled a blue ranger key this time. Ultimate Rath shook his head and looked at GokaiBlack as he pulled out his morpher once again.
"Huh, that voice... it rings a bell in Ultimate Rath's brain!"
"Gokai Change!"
"Spiriiiit Ranger!"
The triple claw slash symbol appeared again and collided with GokaiBlack. This time, however, he turned into a ranger with a white and light blue jumpsuit. His helmet had protrusions that looked like fins.
"With the spirit of a shark, Jungle Fury Shark Ranger!"
He then did fluid swimming like motions with his hands straight like blades, an aura of blue light and water surrounded him.
"Call to the best inside, let loose the Shark!"
He finished his motions by keeping his left arm straight in front of him and his right arm was reared back behind his helmet. Water started to rush at Ultimate Rath as a the Shark Spirit launched at him. Ultimate Rath screeched like a common alley cat at the sight and cowered in fear.
"NO~! ULTIMATE RATH DOESN'T DO WATER!"
But his screeches were for not. The Shark Spirit collided with Rath and the water completely drenched him, slamming him once again into the mountainside, making a second crater right next to the first one that he made. When the water aura disappeared, Ultimate Rath reverted back to normal Rath, who was completely dry. The Shark Ranger also reverted to his previous state.
He walked up to Rath, who once again shook his head like a wet dog. Then he stopped a couple feet away from the Appoplexian.
"Now, who are you and why do you have the Ultimatrix?" He asked, pointing his Gokai Sabre at him. Rath only growled and jumped back to his feet to glare down at the pirate.
"Let me tell ya something Sean Sky-Uchiha! Rath has been looking for your sorry butt all morning! Rath noticed that you dissapeared without a word from your house, so Rath and your other friends came looking for you! But Rath decided that Rath should search somewhere else! So Rath came to this place as XLR8 and searched high and low for your flaming behind! Then these pirates came and attacked XLR8, so he turned into Rath to defend himself! Do you get the whole picture now?!"
GokaiBlack only demorphed back into Sean and glared at the hulking tiger alien.
"And how the hell do you know who I am?" Sean asked. The other Gokaigers ran up behind him and got their weapons ready to do a Final Wave. But before they could do anything, Rath slammed the dial on his chest, glowing orange once more. They were prepared to attack, but what they saw shocked them more than Ultimate Rath.
The light died down to reveal a human boy who was a bit shorter than Sean. He was wearing an orange t-shirt, blue jeans, and black boots with white laces. There was an orange device on his left forearm that had the same symbol Rath and that other thing had on their chests!
"Lucas?" Sean asked in complete shock. The other Gokaigers demorphed as well, seeing as how Sean seemed to know the boy. They watched with caution as Sean interacted with him.
"What the hell are you doing here?" He asked his best friend. Lucas just looked at him and raised his hand to his friend's head. Sen was wondering what he was doing, before he felt a sharp pain on his forehead. Lucas had flicked him... hard.
"Agh! What was that for, Sparky?" Sean whined.
"What am I doing here? WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" Lucas exploded. The space pirates weren't expecting this, but kept watching.
"You disappeared without a word from your house, so Aqua got worried. No one knew where you were and no one could trace your energy signature! So Doran had to force open the Multiverse Path way so that we could track you down. Doran, Elias, and I split up to find you. Luckily, I picked the right place, as I used Wildmutt to search for your scent. Luckily, it passed through the Pathway and led me to a portal that led here."
Sean didn't look very surprised to find out that his friends started to look for him. Then something dawned on him.
"Wait, how are you going to tell everyone that you found me? Please tell me you brought your phone."
Lucas' face faltered when that was brought up. He then chuckled nervously.
"Of course I..."
He searched through all the pockets of his pants furiously, coming up with only two quarters, his wallet, and a paper clip.
"Don't." Lucas sighed and looked at his friend hopingly.
"Sorry, didn't bother to put it in my pockets. Thought I was gonna have a peaceful day at home."
Lucas once more sighed and Sean put his hand on his shoulder.
"Looks like we both got a lot of explaining to do."
"And end chapter! Lucas has appeared searching for his missing friend and he has obtained the Ultimatrix somehow! What will happen now? Will Lucas stay or will he leave the universe with his friend to go home? Read on to find out!"
Sean: "And don't forget to leave a review."
