Chapter 7
It was nearing midnight by the time Marvelous had finally made his way back to the Galleon. He wasn't surprised to see that everyone was still awake as he immediately walked over to Doc, who was resting his head on the main terminal as various coordinates flashed on the screen.
"You haven't found him yet?" Doc looked up and shook his head.
"Not yet," he replied sadly.
"Where have you been?" Marvelous glanced over at Luka, who was curled up with Ahim on the couch. They seemed like they had been flipping through the encyclopedia of past super Sentai teams that Gai had made for them before Marvelous had come in.
"Doesn't matter. What are you doing with that?" Ahim showed a piece of paper to Marvelous.
"We believed that Basco may still continue his search for Grand Powers so we were making a list of any that we don't currently possess." He took the piece of paper from her and scanned the list.
"Megaranger, Kakuranger, BioMan, OhRanger, Go-Onger, Fiveman, GoGo Five and Sun Vulcan." Marvelous handed the paper back to them.
"If we want to find Basco the most efficient way would be to watch the members of those teams," Everyone turned to look at Joe, "He'll go after them eventually." Marvelous nodded in agreement.
"Yeah but Doc stays here. He's going to keep looking for any sign of where Basco is right now."
"But Marvelous I doubt I'll be able to find anything. Basco's ship can't be picked up on radar." Marvelous glared at him.
"You're the computer expert so think of some way to find him," he then looked around at the rest of his crew, "Get some sleep. Basco's ship may be invisible to radar but we can still try to find it by looking." Luka and Ahim nodded and towards their rooms but Joe didn't get up.
"You're not planning on sleeping are you?" Marvelous shrugged and turned towards the exit of the Galleon.
"I'm going to search that park again. There has to be something that Basco left behind or he might even be near there. Either way it's worth checking out." Joe rolled his eyes but knew better than to argue with Marvelous about something like this.
"Don't do anything stupid without letting the rest of us know about it." After receiving a nod form Marvelous, Joe went to his room as well. Before he left Marvelous turned to Doc.
"When you're done searching the coordinates for every point in the city you should sleep too."
"I will," Doc replied as he turned back to the monitor. Marvelous left the Galleon and went back to the park where they had found Gai's cellular earlier.
He walked the entire area of the park twice before he gave in and admitted there was nothing there. Before he left the park he went over to the bench that the cellular had been on before.
"Why would Basco target Gai?" Marvelous asked to himself as he walked over. There were several reasons he could think of; Gai being the newest and younger member of the Gokaigers, him being easy to ambush, or even just because Basco had wanted to find a way to get to Marvelous, but none of these seemed particularly likely. Basco wasn't someone to do anything without at least two plans and, more importantly, there wasn't anything for Basco to gain from the scenarios Marvelous could think of. Marvelous kicked the bench out of frustration before walking back out of the park. As he made his way through the nearby streets he scanned the sky for the Free Joker.
Not that Marvelous really expected to find anything but it was better than just sitting around until morning. He knew that if he had just idly tried to sleep that his mind would simply come up with every scene and outcome possible. But even with focusing on his search it was hard to keep that thought that Gai could already be dead or even worse from popping up in the back of his mind. He could almost hear Gai calling out to his friends for help and it only made him more anxious to find missing Gokaiger as quickly as possible. And when he did he was going to make sure that Basco learned the price of kidnapping a member of his crew.
