Princess and the Fanboy

Disclaimer: Don't own Gokaiger or the rest of the Super Sentai series. Otherwise, Gokaiger would be paying Super Megaforce, blast them a few times, and tell them to use their own material.

Gai is taking out foot soldiers left and right, both blue and gray, until the ones that were around him were shot down. When he looked to see his friends walking towards him, guns smoking, and their sabers at the ready, "What took you guys so long?" He asked.

When they joined the fight, "Oh you know, traffic can be murder at times." Luca answered, while she did the trade by toss with Ahim so that way, she is using two swords.

After a couple minutes of fighting, Doc yelled out, "Everyone lets change into Carranger." Pulling out the key. After hearing a few say sure and okay, all six of them transformed into the group, with Gai becoming Signalman.

Each Gokaiger used the signature weapon of each Carranger, with Gai using sword mode of the Signalizer. Marvelous and Gai are swinging their weapons at their opponents, Joe was using the Muffler Guns as both guns and knuckles, Doc is just dodging his share, while trying not to get knocked back by cannon fire when using the Engine Cannon, Luca is using the Side Knuckles like she is in a boxing ring, knocking them down left and right, and finally, Ahim was proving to be a crack shot with the Bumper Bow.

When they all took out the foot soldiers, along with the Gokaigers going back to original form, the commander, Haremashita, decided to split, "Well, since the prince sent me down without a plan, I'll be taking my leave."

"And how shall you be able to get away from us?" Ahim asked, while everybody was still in fighting position, surrounding him.

"Like this." Haremashita answered, by firing streams of flames towards them. Unfortunately, Ahim was a bit closer than the others, so her leg got burned in the flames. When she hit the ground, the monster decided to push his luck by throwing a huge ball of flames at her, in order to do more damage to her and the team.

Ahim braced herself. When the explosion hit, all she felt was the shockwave. Opening her eyes, she noticed the reason why she wasn't hit, because standing there, with his back taking the full brunt of the attack, was Gai Ikari, and his legs looked like they are barely keeping him up, "Ahim-san, are you okay?" After getting a nod from her, saying that she was, "That's good." He said, before the pain became too much, and collapsed, losing his transformation.

"Gai!" The conscious pirates yelled, before Marvelous shot his gun at the commander before he can start preparing another cheap shot, giving him the hint that he overstayed his welcome long enough. After teleporting away, Marvelous ran off towards his friends, after all removed their transformations completely, worried about the boy.

Two Hours Later- GokaiGalleon

It took the four about half an hour to return to the ship, with Marvelous and Joe carrying Gai, and Luca helping Ahim walk with her damaged foot. During the entire time, Ahim has been blaming herself for being so weak, no matter how many times Luca tries to snap her out of it. When they got there, and placed Gai face down on the couch, and with Doc's help, they helped to take the burned clothing off, in order to help prepare him for whatever first aid that Doc and Ahim know. But first, Doc took care of the small burn on Ahim's leg, which took him, and Luca, about ten minutes to convince her that she would do more harm than good if she can't put all of her focus on the task at hand. Once her leg was bandaged, Ahim immediately went to work to heal her comrade, with Doc right by her side.

During that time, Marvelous, Joe and Luca were on the other side of the room, watching with concern in their eyes, and revenge in their minds. While people might consider the three heartless, just because of the fact that they are pirates, and proud of it, in reality, they do care, and if you hurt somebody close to them, unless you can prove it was an accident, better get ready to kiss your butt goodbye.

Most of the leftover time was spent by Ahim and Doc healing the burns on Gai's back and arms, with said person waking up after feeling the stinging sensation caused by the placement of ointment onto his wounds, causing him to grit his teeth, and bear it, making sure not to hurt anybody just so he can share the pain. This caused Ahim to feel more guilty. After putting on the last bandage, everything has calmed down enough for everybody to focus on other things.

Now, at the present, Marvelous was just sitting on his chair, thinking about something, Joe was doing pushups, Luca was going her jewelry, and Doc was at the ship's computer, looking up something that Gai suggested. Ahim just took a seat by Gai, who thanks to their help, was placed in a sitting position, with a pillow to help keep him from feeling pain if his back were to tough the couch, and watched the, at moment, prone Sentai member, with a sad look.

"Who is Makito Ozu, Gai?" Doc asked, looking through the Earth's database.

"He is MagiGreen from the MagiRangers, and he owns a greenhouse." Gai explained, trying to talk through the pain. While the Gokaiger suits can protect them from damage, yet even that has limitations to where, there will still be damage done, like even though he was able to avoid serious, third-degree burns, he still has a mixture of first- and second-degree burns. "He's also studied herbology, and when I met him he told me that the best cures in the world can be found in nature."

This was where Doc figured out where Gai was getting at, "And I'm guessing he either makes medicines or shows you how?" He asked.

"That and he is also where I get those herbs you love to cook with." Gai answered, getting a surprised from Doc, like it was some sort of dirty little secret or something, "What?"

"You buy herbs at a greenhouse?" Doc asked.

"Yeah, and some of the food I buy when it's my turn to grocery shop at a farmers market whenever they are available." Gai answered, "What's wrong with that?"

"Indeed, Doc-san, is there something wrong with visiting such interesting places?" Ahim asked, with a tilt of her head, although for some reason, the rest could sense that she is becoming a bit protective of Gai, which would be considered unusual, even for her.

Doc put his hands up in surrender, "I have nothing against it, and it's just that I always wanted to go to one, but I'm always too busy with other things." He said, before looking at Gai, "I'm surprise you are able to such places."

"As much as this sounds nice," Joe said, stopping the conversation, "Doc, the sooner we get that ointment, the sooner we can get Gai ready to where we can fight that Action Commander when it comes back."

"Right," Doc said, before getting the location, along with the address, "Okay I should be in about an hour, along with today's supplies."

"I'll come along to help," Joe said, "While also making sure you don't get too caught up."

"Thanks." Doc said, as the two left towards the ropes.

Looking at the pair, and seeing how they seems to be having trouble getting the words out, and figuring they need a push, figuratively or literally, "Well, I'm going to go up top and keep look out." Luca said, before going up the stairs leading toward the top deck.

"And I'll help." Marvelous said, before heading towards the same stairs. While he might be an idiot when it comes to girls flirting with him, yet when it comes to matters of the hearts involving others, even he knows when not to be the third wheel.

Sensing that they were alone, as much as Gai wants to try and cheer her up, one thing he remember a cousin of his telling him was that if the woman looks like she is about crack on an emotional level, either through something like anger or guilt, it would be better to help them get all the negative out of their system before you decide to add the positive. Taking a deep breath and turning his head towards the girl sitting next to him, "Are you alright Ahim?" Gai asked.

Ahim looked at him, tears forming at her eyes, "I should be the one asking you that?" She practically yelled out, "If I was not weak enough to be caught off guard by that monster's sneak attack, you wouldn't be hurt!"

Gai was taken aback by this, seeing the strong willed, strong hearted, Ahim de Famine broken down into a complete mess like this, especially when she was pretty much putting herself down, he did the first thing that came to mind, which was to reach over with his arm closest to her to reach her other shoulder, and pulled her towards her chest into a hug, letting her cry out her guilt, her self-loathing, just letting it all out. After feeling that she ran out of things to use on herself, and just pouring out just tears now, "Ahim-chan," He started, not realizing what he just said, "You're none of those things. You're a great person, a great friend; you would do anything to make sure everybody is safe." He said, getting her to calm down, "What happened was something nobody saw coming. "

"But you still got hurt protecting me." Ahim said, looking up towards him. "Why did you protect me?"

"Because we're like a family, you're important to all of us." Gai said, before, without thinking, gave her a small kiss on the forehead, causing her cheeks to go pink, "You're also important to me and I would do anything to keep you safe." When his head straighten up, "And I apologize if I was too forward with that." Gai said, after realizing what he did.

Ahim couldn't help giggle, since Gai went from sentimental back to his old self in about five seconds flat. "No, I appreciate it, you made me feel special," She said with the blush growing a bit bigger, "And you also reminded me that there are some things I would also do if anybody close to me was in danger." She then looked back towards Gai, "And you're starting to become more important to me as well, Gai-kun." She then gave him a kiss on the check, making his cheeks match Ahim's. "Now if you will excuse me, I'm tired." Ahim said, before closing her eyes, and snuggled up to his chest Looking down, Gai just gave a small smile, and rubbed her back to help her with her nap.

By the stairs, Marvelous and Luca didn't reach all the way to the top, they heard the whole thing and couldn't help but smile at how the fanboy managed to get the princess to cheer up, although both knew, things were about to get more interesting. Both decided to go do what they said they would, mainly to avoid any sneak attacks from the Zangyack.

Not much went on afterwards. About an hour later, Doc and Joe came back with a strong aloe ointment that was applied to Gai's back, who felt like he was going to freeze to death, and on Ahim's wound, had dinner, then Gai and Ahim talked a bit, mainly made peace about what happened that morning, and agreed to take things nice and slow before taking any big steps. After wards, both fell asleep on the couch, with Ahim wrapped in Gai's arms, while Gai became Ahim's teddy bear.

After picking up a signal, all six Gokaigers went for their rematch with Haremashita. This time, everyone transformed, but this time Gai changed into DekaMaster and DekaSwan, and took out the commander, while the other four took care of the henchmen. After taking out the monster in giant form, everyone went about their day.

Well, here is the latest chapter, sorry about the lackluster fight scenes, they're really not my strong suit. Hope you enjoyed. Read and Review.
