Illana took Ahim to the kitchen. "You still like tea, right?" she asked.

"Of course," Ahim answered.

Illana started boiling some water and got out some cups and tea packets. "What have you been doing these last two years?" Illana asked. "I heard some ridiculous story that you'd become a pirate, but I knew that couldn't be true."

"I am a pirate," Ahim said matter-of-factly.

"Oh," Illana said with shock evident on her face. There was an awkward silence between the two for a while.

"I think that's an odd turn of events as well," Ahim said, causing Illana to relax.

"Anyway, how long have you been on Earth?" Illana asked.

"Almost six months," Ahim answered. "I take it you've been here for two?"

"Yeah," Illana said with a depressed look. She knew that Ahim had guessed that because that's how long it's been since Galaluna fell. This made her think of everything that had been lost.

"My crew and I," Ahim began, looking to change the subject, "are here looking for the greatest treasure in the universe."

"Ewwwwww," Illana said in peaked interest. "What's that?"

Ahim paused for a second as she thought over what she was going to say. "I don't know," she said, eliciting a look of disappointment from her friend. "All I do know is that one needs the greater powers of the previous thirty-four super sentai."

Illana quirked her eyebrow in curiosity. "I think I'm missing something," she said.

"It is kind of a long story," Ahim said. She briefly went over how the super sentai had defended Earth (specifically Japan) for over thirty years and they all banded together to repel Zangyack some years ago, scattering their powers across space in the process. Ahim then talked about how the Red Pirates gathered the powers, which had taken the form of small keys, only to be betrayed by Bosco.

During Ahim's story, the teakettle had gone off. Illana prepared two cups and the girls started drinking as Ahim continued. "After that tragedy, Marvelous began forming a new crew with himself as captain. With five ranger keys created by Marvelous's old captain, we are Pirate Sentai Gokaiger."

Ahim then showed Illana her own ranger key she used to become Gokai Pink and described its importance. She finished her story by talking about events that had happened since she arrived on Earth: having to deal with Zangyack, finding out that they needed the greater sentai powers, meeting some of Earth's previous defenders and making an addition to the crew.

Illana already knew about the Zangyack fleet in orbit that Ahim had mentioned because Octus had detected it when coming to Earth. In fact, the main reason they had settled in Sherman was because the Zangyack force seemed occupied with something on the other side of the planet.

Shortly after Ahim had finished her story, Lance and Newton had returned to the house after doing things of their own.

"Hi Illana," Lance said as she looked at the two of them. "Who's your friend?"

"That's Ahim De Famille," Newton began as he accessed information from his databanks, "former princess of the Famille kingdom and current space pirate wanted by the Zangyack Empire. It's a pleasure to meet you, princess," Newton said then bowed, grabbed Ahim's hand and kissed.

"Likewise," Ahim said.

"And am I the only one concerned about there being a wanted criminal in our home?" Lance asked.

"The only crimes I've committed are against the Zangyack Empire," Ahim explained. Lance looked to Newton who nodded in confirmation.

"In that case, I'm pleased to meet you," Lance said as he copied Newton's earlier gesture. "As far as I'm concerned, any enemy of those expansionist jerkwads is a friend of mine. But what exactly brings you to Earth?"

"I found out that there were Galalunans here," Ahim said, "and I came here to see you since my kingdom had diplomatic relations with Galaluna. But I never imagined that I'd come across my old friend."

"How'd you know we were here?" Illana asked.

"One of my crew detected the presence of Galaluna technology," Ahim explained. "Of course, that was after he saw human new reports about a giant robot made of that same technology."

"Ah," Illana said. "You mean Titan."

"That's what the humans call it," Ahim said. "What's its real name?"

"We call it Titan as well," Lance said. "It's as good a name as any and we didn't have one of our own for it since we kind have just stumbled across it."

"How exactly does one stumble across a giant robot?" Ahim asked.

Illana began explaining how she and Lance had watches that instantly made them don suits of power armor and that Newton was really a robot named Octus. After getting that far, Illana asked Octus to reveal his actual form and he obliged.

"Amazing," Ahim said in regard to the sudden transformation and Octus's surprising non-mechanical form. "I've never seen an automaton like this before." Ahim couldn't help but notice that Octus seemed to be made out of a transparent material similar to what Titan was made out of.

Illana went on to explain how a Mutradi mega beast showed up in Sherman and the three of went to fight it despite being outmatched. During the fight, a function within Octus that he didn't know about emerged, which allowed them to combine into Titan. Illana suspected that it was gift from her father to keep her safe.

"Since then," Illana began, "We've been using Titan to fight off any Mutradi sent to kill us while trying to make lives for ourselves here on Earth: not as easy as it sounds."

Ahim made small talk with the three of them for a while and then mentioned that she had become quite proficient with a pistol during her time as a pirate and wanted show Illana.

Illana had gotten some empty soda cans and they went to the backyard. Illana went thirty feet from Ahim and threw three cans into the air at once. Ahim drew Gokai gun and shot them all before they hit the ground.

"Wow," Illana said, impressed with her friend's accuracy. She knew that she could have easily done that with the Corrus armor's laser, but the armor had all kinds of computer targeting assistance so that didn't really count. She couldn't shoot like that if she had to just eyeball it.

Illana threw five cans into the air this time and Ahim shot four of them but couldn't get to the last one before it hit the ground.

"That's still way better than I could do," Illana said.

"I don't deserve all the credit," Ahim said. "My crewmate Luka helped me gain this skill. She's been like a sister to me, although her greed can be off-putting. I try not to hold that against her since she came from an impoverished background: the only reason she occasionally acts like money is the most important thing in the universe is because she has learned how important it is the hard way."

"Tell me more about your crew," Illana asked as she walked up to Ahim.

"Well, I've already told you about Captain Marvelous earlier and Luka just now," Ahim said. "There's the latest addition to our crew: a native of this planet named Gai Ikari. He's very enthusiastic and a skilled fighter. He also has vast knowledge regarding the previous super sentai which has helped us with our mission."

"Next there's Joe Gibken," Ahim continued. "He used to be a Zangyack officer, but refused to follow his orders to kill a group of children and deserted. He is a stoic individual and a skilled swordsman. Lastly, there's Don Dogoier, or Doc as we call him. He is a sweet man and is very good at maintaining our equipment."

Illana quirked an eyebrow in curiosity at Ahim's sparse description of Doc. "There's not much else to say about him," Ahim explained. "While I'm here, I was wondering if we could do something that would allow me to see more of this country."

"I have just the thing in mind," Illana said. "There's this place that's a popular gathering spot for people our age and is an expression of culture. The earthlings call it a mall."

"That sounds like fun," Ahim said.

"You should change clothes first," Illana said. "Your frilly pink dress is kind of conspicuous."
