Yay, new chapter! Here's the newest chapter and I honestly wasn't sure what to think about this episode, I mean I know not to deal with Luka or Joe when playing cards, though also I'm not that good at cards anyway, so I'm in the same boat as Marvelous. Recently, I have had a bit of a upset stomach and a class field trip among other things keeping me from writing. I also recently saw the BatB remake and will probably see the PR remake this weekend at some point.

Thanks to Gwendolyn Yuki and Son of Whitebeard, yes, Son of Whitebeard, I think that Marvelous has a wonderful smile and he looks so happy when he smiles, its so cute.

As usual, I don't own anything, PR belongs to Saban, Super Sentai is owned by Toei TV and Shotaro Ishinomori, I just own Gokai White, the idea, the changes to the episodes, and love for the two.

Chapter 10 - A Duel With Trump Cards

The Galleon was quiet, most of the crew were playing cards while Emma sat on the couch, reading a book that she had gotten in the city. She listened as Marvelous had a one pair, but was beaten out by Ahim who had a two pair, then Luka had a three card and Doc thought he won with his hand being a four card but Joe surprised them with his hand being a Royal Straight Flush. "Joe-san wins again." Ahim said, surprised as Marvelous groaned that Joe won again and wanted to play another round, "One more time!"

'I doubt that you will be able to win against Joe, Marvelous,' Emma thought, reading her book. Navi just shouted, "Lost! Lost! Lost again!" "I'm just having a unlucky streak!" Marvelous whined, Emma hid a laugh as Doc said, "But really, Joe sure is good at cards." "I'm okay." Joe said, "Besides... when Luka gets serious, even I can't beat her." "What do you mean by 'get serious'?" Ahim asked, Emma looked up as Luka kept quiet and said, "Who knows?"

At that moment, everyone heard the alarm and felt the room shake as they looked at the montior and saw a fleet attacking with Navi panicking, "It's a Zangyack fleet!" All the Gokaigers morphed and quickly formed Gokai-Oh, Emma choosing to sit with Joe as they spun the stirring wheels and using MagiDragon to fly in the sky as well as fire at the many ships in the sky.

While they were slashing at the ships, Joe seemed to noticed something and said, "Wait! Don't shoot down the green one!" "The green one?" Emma asked with Marvelous, noting the appearance of the only green ship among the exploding ships before it disappeared. Everyone kept quiet, surprised before Ahim spoke up, "This is my first time seeing a green ship." "Why couldn't we shoot it?" Doc asked. "What did you mean by that?"

"Joe?" Emma asked, looking at him. Joe looked at her and said, "That was... Zangyack's special demolition unit." "Special demolition unit?!" Doc, Ahim, and Luka said at the same time. After reforming the ship and detransforming, Joe explained the green ship had a cannon that contained a element so powerful it could burn the planet. Luka and Doc said at the same time with the same movements, "This planet... will burn?!" "Right." Joe said with a nod while shuffling the deck of cards. "With that gigalolium cannon, let's see... one hit will set all the land in sight on fire."

"Oh man..." Emma whispered, while Luka and Doc did a 'Eh?!', Ahim said, looking at him, "Joe-san, you seem very familiar with it." "That's not the only problem." Joe said, Emma looked at him with her arms crossed over her chest. He continued, "If you accidentally destroy, the whole planet can be blown away." "In that case, this is no time for treasure!" Doc paincked while Emma and Marvelous kept quiet, then Emma spoke, "So, how can we destroy the ship without destroying the world?" "Is there nothing we can do?" Ahim asked.

Joe thought and said, "If we steal the fuel, then the gigalolium..." "I get it!" Luka said, stepping up with a smile, having most everyone look at her. "Then we just need to sneak onboard that green ship, right? Me and Joe." "Me?!" Joe said, surprised. After Luka explained her plan, Emma stopped Joe before leaving and did something surprising, she took off her necklace and put it around Joe's neck. "Be careful. And please make sure to bring this back, okay?"

As she held the pendant, Joe held her hand and put his forehead to hers, he said, "I will. Promise." Letting go of her hand, he turned and left with Luka. While waiting for the two, Emma kept quiet as Marvelous, Doc and Ahim resumed their game of cards. Ahim asked, "Will those two really be okay?" "No worries!" Marvelous said, smiling. "I'd predict there will be no problems! See, one pair!" But he was shocked to see that Doc and Ahim had beaten by each having three card.

"Looks like there's a problem with Marvelous' predictions." Doc said, Emma sighed and looked out a window, sitting at the table. After a while, the ship was as the three continued to play cards and Emma laid her head on the table, having fallen asleep due to getting tired from waiting, her back going up and down with her steady breathing. Ahim said, "I suppose they're already on board." "They'll be fine." Marvelous said, smiling and trying to keep the mood up. "Anyway, I've got it this time!" But he groaned at being beaten again, he whined, "I lost again..."

"For some reason... I have an ominous feeling about this." Doc said, Navi came up from behind his shoulder and said, "Ominous! Ominous!" Emma had woken up and looked at Navi, rubbing her eyes. With that, it seemed that the remaining Gokaigers donned disguises that resembled the Goumin and boarded the green ship, assuming that Luka's plan was working as planned. Finding the room where the fuel was and fooling the guards that they would take over in guarding the room, Emma thought, 'So far, so good.'

Blending into the Goumins, they reached the break room area when the current commander ordered the Goumin to get Luka and Joe. They knocked the Goumin out and down to the ground, stepping up as the commander said, "What is going on?!" "This is what's going on!" Marvelous said, as he, Ahim, Doc, and Emma revealed themselves. Doc smiled, saying, "Ta-da!" "Sorry to keep you waiting." Ahim said, Emma said, "Hope the party didn't start without us."

They removed their diguises and the commander was shocked, Marvelous smiled, "Looks like we got a dense one here." "Look!" Doc said, revealing that he had the fuel, surprising them in the room more. Ahim explained, "Luka-san and Joe-san acted as diversions." "So they bought us time as we snuck onboard and stole the gigalolium." Emma explained, smiling as Joe stepped up next to her, "Luka cheated to win all those matches to gather you all here." "Really!" Luka said, smiling as all six of them were lined up. "Not to notice that... are you guys stupid or something?!"

"Gokai Change!" Everyone shouted, bringing out their Ranger Keys and putting them in their Mobirates to change into their Gokaiger forms. Standing in line, they announced their role and that they were the Kaizoku Sentai Gokaigers. Because the commander was so upset, he commanded the Goumin and Sugoumin to get them, Marvelous and Emma brought out their guns and fired at the Sugoumin, then Doc revealed a donator switch, saying, "Look!"

That definately shocked the commander, along with the Goumin and Sugoumin, Doc said, "Lets go with a bang!" He pressed the button, which activated the bomb that they placed in the fuel room then jumped out as the ship exploded. Landing on the ground as the commander and his crew followed, the commander shouted, "How dare you blow up my ship! At least I can get the gigalolium..." "Sorry~" Emma said, playfully as Marvelous said, "That's not happening either."

"Here." Doc said, giving it to Marvelous. Then he tossed in the air, shouting, "See!" "Got it!" Navi said, appearing and catching it before flying off. "Later!" So everyone swapped their guns and swords, ready to fight. Emma ran up to slash at them with Luka and Joe, making cross slashes and strikes at the Goumins that were in front of her. When Marvelous knocked the commander down, everyone lined up and the commander said, "Don't underestimate me, you wanted thugs! No matter what you do, I will win in the end! That is what a true duel is!"

He tossed cards at them which they avoided by slashing or shooting at the cards, but they exploded when they landed. Luka patted Emma's shoulder, "Alright." She brought the JAKQ keys, and said, "Trump cards for trump cards." Emma stepped back as they became JAKQ, avoiding the attack and redirecting it back to the commander. Emma just smiled under her helmet and watched Marvelous suggested, "Alright, use a Dengeki Kick!"

First, Marvelous, Ahim, Joe, and Doc jumped then kicked the commander, Luka suggested, "Lets use the Big Bomber!" "Big Bomber!" Everyone shouted, getting it ready, Joe taking one of the wheels, Doc took the other wheel, and Ahim brought out the V-shaped stand.

"Set One!"

"Set Two!"

"Set Three!"

The three made the base of the cannon, Marvelous held the cannon and said, "Lets combine!" He put the cannon in its place with a shout, "Set Four!" Then he shouted, "Big One!" With that, Luka came in with a small rocket, saying "JAKQ's finishing weapon!" She set the bomb into the cannon and shouted, "Big Bomber!"

They fired the rocket which split into two and hit the commander along with the two Sugoumin that were standing next to the commander. While the two Sugoumin were destroyed, the commander remained and the others changed back to their regular Gokai forms as Emma joined them and they readied their guns and swords for a Final Wave. First, Ahim and Doc shot, then Luka and Joe sent a dual slash, finally Emma and Marvelous shot and sent a slash at the commander, destroying it.

With a sigh, Emma watched as it was revived, Luka groaned, "Man..." Emma held her hand and held onto her as she decided to sit with Luka in her mecha, joining the others in the main dock of the Gokai-Oh as it formed. The commander tossed its cards while threatening to get the fuel back, Marvelous said, "Wait a moment. You sure you want to blindly attack like that?" He had the Gokai-Oh reveal that it had the fuel, Joe said, "You can have it back if you want it that badly." "Yeah, go ahead and take it." Emma said, smiling. "It's right there for you."

"Here." Ahim said, agreeing. "Go ahead." That surprised the commander, asking, "Really?!" "Of course," Doc said, putting his hands behind his head. Luka added, "In exchange, we're giving it to its original owner." "There you go!" Marvelous shouted, having the Gokai-Oh toss it into space where it exploded and destroyed most of the ships.

"Lets finish with this!" Marvelous said, taking out the GaoRanger Keys and formed the Gao Gokai-Oh, then performed Gokai Animal Heart, finally destroying the commander. Emma breathed and smiled at Luka who patted her head.

After the victory, Emma returned to reading her book while the five remused their card duel, Luka wasn't surprised as she said, "I lost." "Joe is really good at cards." Doc remarked, Ahim said, "This makes ten times in a row." "That's true!" Luka said, "He's too good. He's unbeatable." Joe and Emma watched her stand and Joe said, "Hey, Luka. Wait a moment." Emma covered her mouth as he grabbed her arm and cards fell out of her coat.

Joe picked up one of the cards, "This is..." He recongized them from the mission, Luka just smiled and said, "Good job acting as the diversion." "You?!" Joe said, shocked. "You even had me acting as a diversion?!" He sighed, "Looks like I really can't beat Luka when she's serious." Emma smiled, as Doc added, "On the other hand, Marvelous is really bad at cards. He hasn't won once!" "Can't win! Can't win! He can't win at all!" Navi repeated, as Emma laughed and lightly hit Navi on the head with her book and Marvelous added, giving Navi a hit on the head and saying, "You sure have a smart mouth!" Navi just whined that it hurt as Emma smiled at the two members.

And there's the chapter. I will have to say that these next few chapter will be a bit I guess showing a pairing between Emma and Joe since it will show how they met, Emma helping Joe and how they think of each other. Not really sure on a definitive pairing for the story.

Next chapter, Navi predicts they will meet a samurai, upon meeting the forementioned samurai, she demands them to return the keys, Joe learns a shocking truth about what happens to his mentor and Emma discover what Joe did before joining the crew. This has been WhiteRose-Aki and see you next time.
