The Gokai Galleon's left side was hit by a massive laser. The ship wasn't too damaged, but it was enough to shake the ship and cause a mini-earthquake. Both Marvelous and Ahim basically flew over to the other edge of the ship, where Ahim held onto Marvelous, and Marvelous held onto the edge. "
Ahim-san!" Are you okay!?" But she never responded. Instead, Ahim grabbed onto the ledge, pulled herself onto the roof, and bolted to the other side. "Gokai Change!" went the princess. Transformed into GokaiPink, she began shooting recklessly at the ship ahead, without any concern for the laser bullets barely missing her. "Ahim-san…." uttered a stunned captain. He climbed upon the ship, and rushed to her side. "Ahim-san! Be careful!" "Be careful? Be careful! How I be careful, when they RUNIED OUR DATE!? OUR CONFIRMATION OF OUR LOVE?!" she shouted (and pouted). She locked in her key, and with all few rage and strength in her petite body, she unleashed a Final Wave so strong, the attacking ship actually tilted. "Ahim-san. We need to head inside…." "But I'm so, ANGRY!" she screamed with scorn.
With a little hesitation at stirring Ahim's scorn, Marvelous brought Ahim back into the ship. She powered down, and everyone was at their battle stations: Ahim joined Navi and Don at the navigation screen, and Marvelous went up to the cockpit with Joe, Luka, and Gai. Marvelous power up to GokaiRed and the four held the wheels. "Me-na! The ship's type is not showing up on the computer!" cried Don.
The ship in question was shaped like the "Star Destroyer of Star Wars," according to Gai. It dwarfed the Galleon by at least four times its' size. That wasn't going to deter the Gokaigers, however. "Fire the main cannons!" commanded Marvelous. He wanted to fire everything he had, but his suspicions soon proved to be true. The main cannons fired revealed a strong energy barrier surrounding the ship, and to make matters worse, it reflected off the ship and the fired back at the Gokai Galleon.
The hits on the Galleon were soon becoming a series of barrages. Ahim, Don, and Navi were struggling to stay on one foot. "Marvelous! The cannons have been too damaged to fire back!" cried Gai. "Tch," muttered Marvelous. "Don't worry, Joe, I am not forcing you all to abandon ship!" Marvelous than put then pedal to the metal as the Galleon started to race ahead of the attacking ship, and barely dodge its' firepower. "Heh, where will you send us, Marvelous-san? A sun?" asked the ever-so sarcastic Luka. "Marvelous! We'll need to go to another planet!" shouted Joe. Another barrage pelted the Galleon, and the ship shook like a Rising Strike. "If we turn into GokaiOh, we'll be too damaged to fight back." Marvelous knew Joe was right, but that confirmation didn't make the pressing situation any better.
And then, suddenly, the barrages stopped. There was nothing but silence. Marvelous was even more unsettled by the sudden cease-fire than the sudden attack. As if to make matters worse, Marvelous found that the ship was not moving as well. "Don-san, Navi!" called Luka to the navigation. Marvelous had an idea of what had happened, but didn't like what it was insinuating. "Ahim!" yelled Marvelous as he bolted downstairs. He jumped down the flight of stairs, and saw his nightmare come to fruition.
Ahim and Don were held by soldiers dressed in black armor. "Marvelous-san! Don't come any closer!"Navi was in a cage, his wings tied to his body and his feet tied to the bottom of the cage. The whole main room was filled with soldiers. "Marvelous-san! Don't!" cried Don. Marvelous was about to charge anyway. But as Joe, Luka, and Gai came down the stairs, a soldier shot at all three of them. The resulting hits were bullets that put a plastic mechanism on the three of them. They sent a weakening, electric shock wave throughout their bodies. Marvelous stood helplessly, as all of his crew was held hostage. On one end was Joe, Luka, and Gai, writhing on the floor in agonizing pain, and on the other end was Don, Navi, and his love, Ahim, their arms behind their backs and guns to their faces.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, a soldier struck Marvelous in the neck with a staff. The resulting hit sent an electric shockwave that brought him to his knees as he cried in agony. He turned to Joe and the others, and another strike repeated the last one. In unbearable pain, we crawled in desperation to Joe. "Me-na…" He looked the opposite way, and the last thing he saw before the third shockwave sent him into the darkness was the agony and pain in Ahim's eyes….
"Thanks again, Mr. Jackson. We'll see you around, and say hi to your nephew for me!" called the bartender with a smile. With the last customer out the door to his right, the bartender, Joseph Carlson, looked up to the inside deck to his left. "Closing time, Alexander!" With that, a little boy with a ball of spiky black hair came rushing don the stairs. A whole set of cleaning tools was hanging from his belt - cleaning spray, cleaning clothes, a scrubbing pad, a hand brush, and dust collector. Some of his tools were able to touch his head because he was so small. The boy got to work, scrapping off gum from the underneath the tables, washing the windows, sweeping up the floor - you name it, he did it, all with an ear-to-ear smile. The bartender washed the dishes and organized them into the pantry.
A woman in a tattered red jacket walked out of a room on the deck. "All the taxes have been filed, Joe!" "Oh, thank you again, Ruth!" He finished the last of the dishes, and hastily walked up the stairs to the woman. "Ruth, dear, you and Alexander have been so helpful to me. I NEED to give you a paycheck at some point for all you've done, keeping gang members out, protecting the register, sending a message to mafia members to stay out of the neighborhood….." Ruth Eleanor Black simply laughed. "Joe, we were neighbors! You were always there when I needed something - a place to stay when my parents didn't come home, a place to hide when I pissed them off!" she joked. "I'm just returning the favor. Besides, Alexander loves it here! He gets free food, meets all kinds of people who are kind and friendly, and every day is a new adventure!" She looked out from the deck at her son, who was now cleaning just walked in from taking out the trash. "You like it here, Alexander?" The boy raised his cleanser bottle and point it like a gun. "We Kaizoku do what we want!"
The two adults laughed at the boy's enthusiasm. "Anyway, Joe, we all should get some sleep. Sundays are so busy with all the morning customers." Josep Carlson simply smiled. " You're always looking out for others, Ruth. I'll head up and sleep. You too deserve better than that couch." "We know, we know." She looked out at the bar and restaurant and bar. " Come here, Alexander!" The boy looked up beaming at his mother. He grabbed all his things, and hurried up the stairs. With all the strength in his legs, he jumped up into his mothers embrace and hugged back. The both smiled as his mother kissed his cheek and spun around as she tightened her grip...
Marvelous had no idea where he was. His vision was hazy, trying to focus on what was simply a white light coming from any and all directions. But before that could happen, his right side was pummeled by a fist to his cheek. The blow sent him to the ground, where he realized that his hands were seperated and attached to a wall behind him. He was a dark room lit only by a hanging light bulb. Three imposing figures looked down upon their bruised and bloody captain. Two more punches wailed at both Marvelous' face, followed by a kick to stomach and another kick to the groin.
Though his jolted, Marvelous never grunted or expressed pain in his face. "'Bout time that this red asshole gets what's comin' to him." "Wait til we give those lady bitches what's comin' to them... or ON them." All three of them laughed menacingly in the darkness. Marvelous lifted his head and looked at them, his mind unable to stop itself from visualizing what could be happening to Luka and his ripped the chains off the wall and charged, "Errr-ra!.
As if things couldn't get more explosive on this day, the opposite of Marvelous was knocked down to the ground. The thud of the steel door against the floor was sharp, and just as the three figures turned a wave of energy filled the room. Marvelous shut his eyes against the blinding light. When he opened his eyes, there was nothing but dust where the three figures were. Not wanting to sit around and wait, Marvelous bolted out the door. Alamrs were going off. To his left and right were two directions he could go.
Without thinking, he made his way to his left, aimlessly turning any direction. His only thought was on finding his crew. He came across no one, which was both frustrating and surprising. He knew from the architecture of the hallways that he was on a ship, no doubt that one that ambushed him and his friends. Eventually, he raced up a flight of stairs, having no idea where he was or where he was going. The top led to a hallway, and at the end of the hallway was a large hanger.
The hanger was huge, taking up maybe a third of the ship. A single jet was in the center. Marvelous was in the center at the second level dock and walkway. Alarms were going off, and the man in the hanger's sounding booth was in a frenzy. "He is here! He is Here! EVERYONE! MAKE YOUR WAY TO THE HANGER TO ABANDON SHIP!"
A simultaneous call of "Marvelous!" came from all directions. To his bottom right was Luka and Ahim, thank goodness, to his immediate left was Don and Navi, and to his bottom left was Joe and Gai. As he looked to Don and Navi, the captain uttered a "Hn", grabbed Don, and jumped to the bottom. He rushed immediately to Ahim and Luka. "I need to know now. Did they do anything to you two?" "No, Marvelous-san," answered Luka. Ahim continued, "We were just sitting in a cell, and when the alarms off, we escaped." Marvelous' felt a huge release of tension inside of him. "What about you, Marvelous? You're bruised and bleeding!" cried an emotional Ahim. Marvelous held her with his right arm. "I'll be okay, I promise." he whispered to her.
As he looked to his left, Marvelous noticed that none of the black armored soldiers were paying any attention to him or his crew. They were simply running around in agony and fear, shouting their worries and "I don't want to die!" "What is going on?" wondered Luka aloud. "Me-na," gasped Don as Joe, Gai, Navi and himself joined the others. "We were in a cell, and a wave of light appeared. The next thing you know, we were free! None of the guards encountered us as we escaped." "Same thing with me and Joe-san! We haven't been able to find our Cellulars, our ship...anything!." said Gai. As everyone looked at the fearful frenzy, Gai asked what was on everyone's mind. "Why would a ship like this not be concerned about its' escapees?"
Just then, the soldiers looked to the Gokiager's right in fear. Some charged shouting loyalty to some leader, while others retreated in fear. And out of nowhere, a familiar cry caught the attention of the Kaizoku. "Fi-nal, WAAAVVEEE!" In an instant, the whole crowd of black armored soldiers evaporated in flash of light and energy. "Augh.." was uttered in unison. In one blow, a whole army of well-trained soldiers - gone. Marvelous looked to the right of the hanger and its' entrance, and gasped at what he saw. His uniform was altered, but the whole crew was stunned at what was before them. "...Huh." was stated in fear and shock by all. The person held his blade in his right hand, resting it on his chest and right shoulder. His gun was in his left hand, which hung at his side.
In that entrance, the one who had evaporated the whole regime of soldiers whose presence sent fear like a Zangyack fleet... was a Black Gokaiger.
