CHAPTER 11: Onee-chan...
Luka went to the open field and playing kites with her beloved children. She feels so happy and free to see the smiles on their face that she and her late sister,Fia rarely feel before because of Zangyack. However, deep down in her heart, she missed Fia so badly that her tears rolled down of her cheek. "Fia..."
She still remembered when they managed to collect all the ranger key in universe, the only thing she wished for that time is to live in a warm house with her sister. But, she and the rest have to give up their wishes as it will only bring bigger damage to the universe if they try to change the destiny.
Mio: Onee-chan, are you okay? (Mio patted Luka's shoulder).
Luka: Eh, Mio-chan, Takeru-chan? I'm... okay. (She quickly wept her tears and smile)
Takeru: You missed Fia, aren't you?
Luka: It's too obvious, isn't it? (Luka fake her giggles) Yeah, if she still alive... she will be as tall and pretty as you both. (Mio and Takeru are Fia's bestfriend)
Mio: Don't be sad, Onee-chan. We missed her too. But, you still have us and we are your family.
Luka hugged both of them. "I'm sorry,minna. Sorry for being away too long"
Takeru: It's okay, Onee-chan. Now, you will stay with us for good, right?
Mio: Now that both Cain-san and Luka-chan are here, we're complete again.
Luka feels guilty and not dare to give any answer at least for now. She bit her lips and clenched her fist.
Kids: Onee-chan, come play the kite with us! They immediately pulled Luka, Takeru and Mio's arm to the field.
Luka: Alright, alright. Wow, all six Gokaiger's kite? (Surprisingly, all the kite are drawn with Gokaiger arts, all 6 colours available)
Kids: Yup, we are your big fans now.
Luka giggles and hugged their shoulder. "Come!"
Luka: Minna, pull the kite higher. The wind is blowing that way. Come! (She called for the kids to join her)
Takeru: Onee-chan, wait.
The kids are so excited running back and forth with their kite. The other gokaigers also joined in.
As Luka busy playing with her kite, she unaware that she almost fell down... "Aahh!"
Marvelous managed to catch her again. "Be careful. Don't fall down like last night". He smiled.
Luka: Eh, Marvelous?
Marvelous: Who else? He smirked, teasing her.
Luka quickly stand up and grab her kite. "I'm... I'm okay. You don't have to do that." She quickly finds ways to excuse herself.
Marvelous: Luka, wait!
She pretends not to hear anything and take steps forward, trying to avoid Marvelous at every means at least for now.
Marvelous whispered, 'I hate to do this...' He said out loud "It's an order!"
Finally, Luka stops and exhales heavily. "Mou, what he wants? I don't want to talk about last night." She blushed. All of sudden, she feels to shy in front of him, which is so, not her usual self. Slowly, she turns toward Marvelous.
Luka: Mou, Marvelous... what is it? I'm playing kite with the kids.
Marvelous: You dropped your ring. (It's the same ring that she got from Komaki, for working with her dad). Marvelous played with the ring around his index finger and smirked. "Come and get it"
Luka quickly check on her fingers. Yup, it's missing. "Mou!" She pouted her lips. Then, she stamping her feet and walking towards Marvelous.
Marvelous whispered, "Kawaii like always".
Marvelous put the ring on his palm and hand it to Luka. As Luka was about to take it, Marvelous played around, changing the ring from palm to palm.
Luka: Mou... Marvelous. What are you doing?
Marvelous: Try to catch it if you can. (He played around with the ring as Luka try to reach for it. Unexpectedly, their face just an inch away, both of them stunned).
On the other side, the gokaigers and the kids can't help but to observe Marvelous and Luka from far in anticipation. They can't wait to see what happen next.
Marvelous swiftly reached for Luka's finger and put on the ring. He smiled.
Luka: Mmm-marvelous? She puzzled and now she blushed as red as raspberry.
Joe: Wow, that's fast (said Joe in monotone voice).
Ahim: Aah, finally... (She giggles)
Doc and Gai dropped their jaws, shocked. "Is this happening?" Both slap each other face.
Takeru: Onee-chan got engaged?
Kids: Onee-chan got engaged! (The kids spread around and shouted " Onee-chan got engaged with the captain" all over the field).
Luka: Oh no... minna, wait! That's not it. It's not what you think. (Luka try to go after the kids, stopping them from spreading the rumour and clear the air. But, there are too many of them)
Gai: Marvelous... did you.. and Luka got engaged? (The rest come near to Marvelous, request for confirmation)
Marvelous smirked. "Iyaah, not now. But... soon enough. Come, we have some kite to fly" Marvelous grabbed Gai's neck and walked away.
Finally, Luka able to gather all the kids and sit in a circle. "Minna-chan, it's not what you see. I'm not engaged to anyone. It just that my ring slipped off from my finger".
Small girl: But, you like the captain, aren't you? (She giggles)
Luka gives that awkward smile, don't what to reply.
Takeru: Onee-chan already has Cain-san. (He seems defensive)
Small girl: But Onee-chan seems to like the captain-chan more.
Mio: Now, Onee-chan will stay with us, with Cain-san. Right, Onee-chan?
Luka's speechless and try to avoid the question "Ha-ha, you guys are still small. Wait, until all of you have grow up, okay!"
Luka sat alone at the swing under the shady big tree. Obviously, she's a little a bit exhausted and need some alone time to make her decisions. Only couple of days left, before they leave the planet and begins their journey again.
Basco: You seems tired, my lady? (Basco's coming out from nowhere suddenly)
Luka shocked but immediately pulled out her sword and placed it near to Basco's throat.
Basco: Whoa, chill... Put the sword down. I just want to have some talk. You don't want to kill Cain's guest, right?
Luka: Stop using Cain's name! I wonder how he trusted you?!
Cain: Okay, okay. Please, put down the sword. I come with good intention though.
Luka put down her swords away, but distance herself from Basco a few steps.
Basco: Great, now it feels more comfortable with no sword on my throat. My lady, I'm sure you know that Marvelous and I are former Akaki pirates. Therefore, I know him longer than you guys did. I have a confession to make.
Luka: Silence, Basco! We all don't trust you. You're a betrayer. (Luka was about to walked away)
Basco: Don't you wish to know who took the Stone of Heal on the night that your little sister died?
Luka immediately stop and gives sharp glance towards Basco. "How do you...?". Only Cain and she knew about this.
Basco: If the stone is still there on that night, I'm sure your sister is still alive by now. That's the only cure to her illness, right?
Luka immediately draw her sword out and attacked Basco. Basco immediately dodge the attack with his sword. "How on earth do you know about that? Who are you?" Luka blows her sword simultaneously. Basco keeps on dodge the blow with evil smirk on his face. His trick work!
Basco: I was there at that time, Marvelous too.
Luka: I don't trust you!
Basco: If you don't believe me, find the stone in the secret small vault behind the dart board. You'll find it there. We're the one who stole the stone and wished to sell it to the black market buyer. But damn, that old Akared found out about this and kept the stone away. But, Marvelous took that stone and try to give it back to you that night. But, it's too late when he saw your little sister died in your arm.
Luka: What are you telling me this? (Her eyes begin to fill in with tears; her attack grew stronger causing Basco struggling to dodge the attack)
It was a grave mistake to find trouble with Luka.
Basco: Well, I'm just helping Marvelous by spill the secret out, the secret that he wished you never know. That's it. Soon or later, you'll know anyway. (He smirked) And why do you think Marvelous suddenly arrived on the Zangyack ship right when the Sugoumin were about to attack you?
Luka paused.
Basco: It's because he has been following you since your late sister's died as he felt guilty. Ever since that, he swore that he'll protect you with his life. So, don't be hard on him okay? We're both young and dumb at that time. But, Marvelous is the obedient type of followers. So, he listens but I don't.
Luka immediately sat down on the grass with tears rolled down her cheek in disbelief. "No way... Ff-Fia!"
Fia's voice echoing from past, "Onee-chan..."
To be continued...
