The one thing he's Scared of 6
Needless to say, it wasn't exactly pleasant on the Gokai Gallen the rest of that week. And considering she got taken on a Monday….it was a long week. When Sunday finally rolled around, Marvelous finally seemed to get some of his senses back. He'd been quiet all week, trapped in his own shell of depression, but suddenly he yelled out, like he'd just found something.
"Watch after the ship," he told Joe, who wasn't even doing his sit-ups, he was thinking so hard. And he started to the ropes quickly, glaring straight ahead.
"Where are you going?" Luka was just coming down from lookout.
"To save Ahim," he replied, not stopping. Before any of them could stop him, he was on Earth, heading down the street with a look of detirmanation on his face.
"What's his deal?" Doc came in from the kitchen, "he never leaves to anywhere while I'm cooking."
"I knew it," Luka smiled for the first time since she was taken, "he loves her."
"Well, he'll need backup," Joe rose, heading to the ropes himself, "but we can't let us see him."
"Why not?" the blonde earned a slap from the tomboy of the ship with his question.
"Because he doesn't want help," Gokai Blue rolled his eyes, "esco!"

"Where could they be?" Gokai Red muttered, collapsing on a bench. He'd searched all over Tokeo to no avail, and he was getting angry.
"Getting upset, are we, Marvey-chan?" he whirled around at the familiar voice in his ear. Sure enough, there was Basco, without Sally for once.
"Where's Ahim?" he snarled dangerously, "you got some nerve, taking a member of my crew."
"Well, I was always one to walk the line," he jumped down lazily from the tree he had been sitting in, "let's cut to the chase. You have something I want and I have something you want."
"You little…" he snarled, "you're not getting the Ranger keys."
"Then you're not getting the princess," he replied, stretching lazily, like this was casual conversation, "it's your choice."
Gokai Red pulled out his Moterbite and morphed, tackling his once friend and trying to punch him in the face. Smirking the smirk that was like his, he pushed him off easily. When the younger male kicked at him, he ducked and caught his ankle, yanking him to the ground.
"Not right now," he told him, and a large shadow that came from his ship loomed over the angry male, "tomorrow I'll meet you at your ship. You better have made your choice by then." With that, he was gone.

"You're so cruel," Ahim had tears in her big eyes when Basco returned to her.
"What's with the tears?" he smirked, "what, do you never laugh?"
"You…suck!" she used a word her Captain had taught her, and he chuckled a little.
"I have been told," he lifted her up and freed her chains that contrained her to the wall by the wrists, "come on. Let's go have some fun, huh?"
"Let me go!" she shrieked, but despite her struggling, he led her down to Earth and into a bar.
"This is going to fun," he set her on a stool, and she went rigid, terrified of all these men and women who were poorly dressed and very drunk, "give me one round." She just stared at the bottle in front of her, not wanting to touch it.
Basco, on the other hand, drank his in one big gulp and burped loudly, "Don't tell me you've never been in a bar before."
"Of course not," she recoiled from him, her eyes flickering to the door. She could run…but how could she outrun him?
"Don't even think about it," after ordering another beer, he took her bottle in his hand and held it to her lips, "drink it."
"Demo…" she whimpered, and he tilted back her head gently, pouring some onto her tongue.
She shivered and recoiled from the taste. It was HORRIBLE! But kept to her lips, and she reluctantly drank the rest of it. She had to admit…it did make her feel pretty good. She took the next bottle he ordered for her gingerly and sipped at it…
That was pretty much all it took.

"Hey, buddy," a man's voice woke up Marvelous, who was greeted with a sharp headache, "you don't gotta go home, but you can't stay here."
"What happened?" he mumbled, lifting himself from the floor.
"You got high and passed out on the floor," the man replied, "have a nice day." The Captain belched and moaned with his hangover.
"Wake up," the man now spoke to Basco, who was passed out on the other end of the bar with Ahim in his arms.
"Ow…my head," Gokai Pink moaned, and the two stumbled up and out the door, leaning on each other heavily…and smiling.
