The Goseigers, along with Nozomu, were out by the docks watching the boats come in. Hyde was using his Tensou to create whirlpools so strong, that the fish caught in their pull were forced to jump out of the water just to escape. All save Eri were watching, wondering how high and how far the fish can jump. Eri was depressed. Despite all the efforts she and Moune had made all week to catch Alata under the mistletoe, somehow, someway, something came up that prevented this. Whether it was Hyde, Agri, Gosei Knight or the Amachis, everyone else had gotten his attention but her. She sighed and began to wonder if her efforts are futile. She didn't even know if Alata felt the same way about her. Moune took notice of where Eri was and excused herself from the others.
Alata looked back at Eri. She was so beautiful. Even when she is sad she is beautiful. For months he had been trying to find the words to say and tell her how he feels. But he found it impossible. No, there weren't enough words in any language to even begin to describe his feelings for her. Love was a small word, but it covers so much ground. And he loved her, truly and madly. He loved Eri with every fiber of his being.
"Hey." Moune said as she came up to Eri "Are you okay?" she asked.
"Yeah, I'm alright." Eri answered. "It's just…" she sighed and looked down.
"You want so badly to kiss Alata." Moune said as she put her arm around Eri. Eri proceeded to put her head on Moune's shoulder. "Why don't you just tell him?" Moune asked.
"I… I can't"
"Why not? It's only Alata. You've said it yourself, the two of you talk about everything. Why is this different?"
"Because he may not feel the same way." Eri said turning away from Moune. "And you don't just walk up to someone and just say, "Hey, I love you." It could ruin our friendship."
"How?" Moune asked.
"Because if I tell him that I love him when he doesn't feel the same way…" she paused "it would kill me. And I could never be around Alata again. Not with knowledge that he will never be mine." A tear ran down Eri's check when she said that. Alata turned around and saw Moune embrace Eri. For some reason he couldn't explain, he can always tell when Eri is in distress. He was about to walk over to the girls when Nozomu grabbed by the arm.
"We're going to feed bread to the seagulls. Wanna come." Nozomu asked.
Alata nodded and Nozomu smiled in return. He turned and looked back at Eri. Moune had managed to calm her down. He wished that he were the one to comfort her. He hated to see her sad and not knowing what it was that made her sad made him angrier. He loved the brief times he got to hug her. Her hugs were warm and on the rare times they brushed chicks, he could feel how soft she was and wondered it she was that soft all over. For the time being she was fine and he would talk to her later about what had made her so sad. As Alata met up with the others, who had bought a loaf of bread from a near by market, Moune took Eri by the arm and the two angles went for a walk.
Eri and Moune didn't go far before Moune bumped into a young man. He was wearing a silver jacket over a pink shirt. He had a black and white scarf around his neck and wore his rainbow socks as high as they could go.
"Excuse me." Moune said apologetically.
"It's o-" the young man started until he got a good look at the pair. It was at that moment that Gai realized that he had just bumped into GoseiYellow and GoseiPink. His mouth dropped to the ground and he started to point at them. "You're, you're…" he began, Moune and Eri understandable found this creepy, "the two of you… you're."
At that moment the other Gokaigers had walked out of the fisher's market. They had picked up some fluke for their dinner for the night when they spotted Gai with the Gosei ladies.
"Moune, Eri." Luka called out to them. Moune and Eri turned around and smiled upon seeing the pirates. They walked over to them and bowed to their friends.
"I see you two met the cabin boy." Said Marvelous with a smile. Moune and Eri looked back at Gai with puzzled looks on their faces.
"I'm sorry for my behavior. I'm just a really big fan of all Super Sentai." Said Gai. "Here, allow me to reintroduce myself. I am Ikari Gai… GokaiSilver." He stated with a pose. Moune and Eri couldn't help but smile at him. When they began to introduce themselves, he stated that he already knows who they are and that was why he acted the way he did.
When the bread ran out the other Gosei angles decided to go looking for the girls. When they got to the fisher's market they pleasantly surprise to see Moune and Eri with the Gokaigers. Alata called over to them causing Gai to do what he normally does. Seeing the Gokaigers again was a surprise, but it was a bigger surprise to the three that there was a new face among them who knew who and what they were was an even bigger surprise. After Gai had his fan-gasim, the angels introduced the pirates to Nozomu. Nozomu was pleased to meet all of them. He smiled at Luka when she introduced herself to him and that smile grow when Ahim curtsied to him. Ahim and Luka thought it was cute to see this young boy whom they just met already crushing on them. Moune and Eri seeing this, each grabbed hold of his cheeks and started to pull.
"Hey," Moune began angrily, "You didn't act this way when you first met us."
"Yeah." Eri added. "We're just as pretty as they are. How come you're gushing over them when you don't act this way in front of us?"
"Come now." Ahim said as she and Luka made them let go of Nozomu's cheeks. "There is no need for this. Nozomu-kun," Her attention was on the boy now rubbing his cheeks. "You didn't mean to offend them, did you?" she asked.
Nozomu shook his head. "See," Luka started "no harm done. Besides, he probably looks on the two of you a sisters." She looked over a Nozomu with a smile. "Right?" When Luka smiled at him, Nozomu couldn't help but giggle and smile back. Nozomu then ran and hid behind Hyde when he saw Moune and Eri put their hands on their hips. Everyone, save for the three, had a good laugh at the sight. However their joy was brought to an abrupt end because three hooded figures in black figures began to open fire upon the market.
Everyone took cover and thankfully no one was hurt. When the firing stopped, the figures ran off into the city. Nozomu was instructed to stay where he was and the eleven heroes took pursuit of the offenders. They didn't have to go far as the figures stopped and faced their pursuers.
"Hey you!" Marvelous said as they stopped. "What the hell is this all about?"
Not one of the three answered. Instead they took off the robes revealing their true forms. The heroes where taken back at first as they were neither Warstar or Zangyack. They were reptilian like. Their faces were long like that on a snake's and had dark grey scales. Their eyes were like a great white sharks, black and lifeless and they grinned at their would be prey with sharp teeth.
"What are you?" Alata demanded. "And who sent you?"
The creatures gave no answer. Then, the one standing front and center let out a loud roar. Before the heroes knew it, they were surrounded by dozens of these creatures. They were armed with various weapons. Some had blades and others had guns. There were some in the back of this group of uglies carrying spears. At first site, Don jumped on Joe's back in fear. Annoyed by this, Joe merely lifted Don's hands up and the green pirate fell on he rear. The heroes circled themselves so that none of these things could blindside them. Then, without warning, six of the creatures jumped in the air, spears posed to stab at the group. Without hesitation, the Gokaigers took out their Gokai Guns (Gai had his Gokai Spear in Gun Mode) and fired at their attackers. The beasts hit the ground with a thunderous thud. Taking advantage of the situation, the Goseigers took out their Tensouders and henshined.
"Tensou!" The five angels yelled after placing their Gosei cards in the open mouths of the open Tensouders and slamming them shout. In a flash, the Goseigers were transformed. Using their Gosei Guns to provide cover for the pirates, the Gokaigers inserted their Ranger Keys in their Mobirates (in Gai's case, his Gokai Cellular) and transformed.
"Gokai Change!" the six cried out. Now all eleven heroes stood transformed. They charged at their opponents, who in return enclosed their circle upon their prey. The two teams decided too split up in pairs. The Reds, Blues, Pinks and Yellows naturally went together, while Don and Agri teamed up as most other Greens and Blacks have done so in the past. Gai fought on his own at first. He was out numbered for a while. But then, Gosei Knight appeared, blasting three of them with his Leon Laser. Once he had converted the laser to sword mode, the two Silver Warriors made short work of their share of the creatures. It was a fierce battle. The sound of guns firing and swords clanging could be heard all around. Within minutes, the hideous monsters were all nearly cut down. The Gokaigers reformed and inserting the Ranger Keys into their weapons, they used their FINAL WAVE to blow away a good dozen of the creatures. Gosei Red and Pink formed the Skick Buster while the other angels formed the LandSea Buster and sent more of these snakes flying with their powerful blast. Gosei Knight summoned his Vulcan Headder to finish the last of them. Before he could fire, his attention was draw to a small black cube that fell right in front of him. That little distraction was all that was needed, as the cube opened and released a net that completely covered the knight. The net tightened around Gosei Knight making it impossible for him to move.
"Gosei Knight!" Hyde cried out. He and Agri tried to free him but as soon as they touched the net, it let out an electric shock that sent them flying back, sparks bursting from their chests. The other angels rallied to their friends. Before they could advance toward Gosei Knight, six more of the creatures appeared and fired their blasters at them, knocking the three down. The creatures then proceeded to lift Gosei Knight over their shoulders. They turned around only to find the Gokaigers ready for them.
"Put him down." Marvelous demanded.
The beasts hissed in defiance. The pirates ready themselves to attack but before they could another black cube fell in front of them. This time when it opened, a cyclone came from inside and the pirates were helplessly taken up inside it. Six more creatures, with jet packs strapped to their backs, flew into the cyclone and seized the Gokaigers. All of the pirates were carried off. All save for Marvelous, who emerged form the cyclone on the ground, dizzy and demorphed. Before the Goseigers could rise to help Marvelous, another snake monster burst throw the pavement with a gun. This gun was different from the others his comrades were packing. This gun was silver and resembled the Bio Killer Gun that was instrumental in the death of Koizumi Mika, Bioman's original Yellow Four. The sinister serpent opened fire on the angels. Instead of killing bio particles, the beams demorphed the Goseigers when they hit. To make matters worse, five survivors from the battle opened their wicked mouths and their tongues shot out at the angels and grabbed their Tensouders. Realizing the situation they were in, the Goseigers prepared for the worst. However, the snakes just mockingly hissed at them. Clouds of smoke began to form around the devils and when smoke cleared, they were gone. This was an odd occurrence. The beasts had them cornered, but instead of finishing them off, they just up and left. After seeing that they were all okay, the angels rushed over to Marvelous who was still lying on the ground.
"Marvelous." Alata said shaking the captains shoulder. "Marvelous are you okay"
Marvelous stirred. He rose to his feet with the help of Alata and Hyde. After shaking the cobwebs form his head he asked what happened to the other pirates.
"They were taken off by those things." Moune said. "And they took Gosei Knight with them."
"No only that." Hyde added, "They also took our Tensouders as well."
When Hyde said that, Marvelous had then recalled that while he was in the cyclone, one of the snake creatures shot some kind of beam at him and then when it approached him, it took something from his person. Marvelous reached into the pocket where he kept his Mobirate but discover a different device. He took out the device and showed it to the angels. It looked like a GPS and it had a folded piece of paper taped it.
"Now this is weird." Eri said.
"Why would they give you this thing?" Agri inquired. "And why would they only take half of us?"
"I don't know." Marvelous said. "But I'm going to find out."
Marvelous removed the piece of paper off the devise and unfolded it cautiously expecting some kind of trickery. But there were no tricks. The paper was just a simple letter addressed to Marvelous and the angels. "Dear Captain Marvelous and the Gosei Angels," Marvelous read aloud. "I have your friends. Follow the map that I have given you and you will find them. Hurry up the clock is ticking." As if by command, the devise activated and a map marking the location of wear Gosei Knight and the other Gokaigers were being held. At the bottom right hand corner of the map was a count down clock. The clock started at sixty minutes and began ticking down.
"What are we going to do?" asked Moune untrusting of the devise. They knew better not to put their faith in something an enemy would give them. But their backs were to a wall and they really didn't have much of a choice. The Goseigers returned to Nozomu and told him to go straight home and not to worry about them. Seeing the seriousness on their faces, Nozomu obeyed his friends without asking a question. Saying their good-byes, the angels regrouped with Marvelous and set off to find their friends.
