*KKD walked in and saw Pikatwig simply laying on the ground, looking half-asleep, and KKD sighed a bit before he walked over and poked him*
Pikatwig: Hey…
KKD: You ok, dude?
Pikatwig: Long night working on stuff…
KKD: Don't wear yourself out. Being college bound or in college, you gotta have enough energy to put into whatever classwork you got going for ya. Trust me, I've been there.
Pikatwig: I'm only going four days a week and got four classes… I'm only tired because I didn't sleep to try and finish a birthday present.
KKD: I see. Again, it's recommended you get plenty of sleep, though.
Pikatwig: Noted. Anyway… third episode of Star Defenders. Let's see what our heroes get themselves into today.
KKD: Right. Back with the Star Defenders!

Hoku sat next to Doggie as the two were attempting to fish in peace not far from the former's house, "...where are all the fish today? This is usually the best day for fishing…"
"Maybe something happened upstream?" Doggie figured as they saw a bubbling and noticed Mako swimming without a care in the world, "...and there's our issues."
"Mako!" Hokulele yelled, "We need to fish here!"
The man in yellow simply swam over to the duo, prepped his Comet Morpher, and took out a blue Star Sphere with a 23 on it, "Or we can just do this. Star Spin."
He spun it and then loaded it into his Morpher.
=PISCES STAR SPHERE!=
He tilted the Star Sphere backwards.
=SAY THE ATTACK!=
He pulled the trigger and, after the constellation was shown, a group of fish suddenly popped up and landed in a cart that Hoku had.
"...that's cheating…"
"Oh come on, don't be so uptight. Milk can come from anywhere, not just the cow," Mako told him.
"...I don't understand your cooking metaphors…" Hokulele groaned.
"Same," Doggie added.

Episode 03: Precious Gems
-I need to do what now?- Bullbot asked Karone.
"You all need to pull your weight around here. I may be happy to let you all stay, but that doesn't mean you can't just sit around and do nothing until you need to go fight," Karone told the robot as she handed him a broom, "You're in charge of keeping the house clean."
-I am a robot made for combat! I do not sweep.-
"Just do it you lazy bum," Mako said as he, Hoku and Doggie walked in with the fish.
"Where'd you get all this?" Karone asked the three.
"He cheated and used a Star Sphere to summon fish," Hoku informed as he pointed to Mako, "Cheater."
"You still got the fish in the end, right?" Mako shrugged.
"Hoku's right, Mako. You can't just be so dependant on that Star Sphere. What if you were without it and had to manually catch fish?" Karone asked.
"I'm from a planet covered in water and I can breathe underwater. Not to mention my race are natural fishers. Catching a fish won't be a problem," Mako shrugged off.
"Okay then. You go back out there and catch one of the local fish," Karone started before taking the Pisces Star Sphere, "WITHOUT this."
Mako then gulped as he headed off to do that.
-Why do we all got to do chores? We're Power Rangers for crying out loud!- Bullbot stated, -Not to mention the cutie doesn't have to do any!-
"...speaking of her, where is Connie anyway?" Hoku asked.
"She said she had to head for Earth to get something from a family friend," Karone informed, "And besides, Bullbot, she's clearly more responsible, I can trust her right now. Hoku's always done the chores I've assigned him without issue. And Doggie here has been a big help."
"I've not only managed to chase away any annoying pests, but I've managed to set up a wire around the house to let us know if any NUAE might be nearby."
-...dumb dog…-
Doggie growled at Bullbot in response to this, only for Karone to pet him on the back of his head to cool him down.
"We're all friends here," Karone told them, "Now then… Bullbot, can you please get to work? Doggie, can you please unload the fish into the cooler?"
Bullbot simply sighed before taking the broom, heading over to a random corner, while Doggie began to work on putting the fish into a cooler.
"Hoku?" Karone began, "I need you to head to Terra Venture and pick up some stuff for me."
Hoku was then handed a shopping list and gave a thumbs up to his mother before he headed off.
The boy in red soon arrived in Terra Venture and sighed a bit at the sight. What was once a proud sample of Earth having gone to colonize another world after numerous monster attacks was now a shell of its former self, looking almost rundown, graffiti on many of the walls with tons of different species of aliens roaming the streets. Hoku let out a small sigh as he walked towards a nearby grocery store, but soon saw a man in mainly silver trying to get somebody's attention but was ignored.
"Hey," Hoku waved as he walked over, "Need some help?"
"Yes, um… I am rather lost right now. May I have some help?"
Hoku was about to speak before he noticed that the store only had a few of the items he needed, "Uh… I will be right back, I promise."
"Ok," the man in silver nodded as Hoku quickly headed into the store.
From nearby, somebody slowly peeked out from behind a corner and saw the man in silver, -Hehehe… fresh guy…-
The man in silver was then approached by a gold robot with a feminine figure as she swayed a little bit in a sensual matter, "...hello."
-Hello there good sir…- she greeted with a cheerful tone in her voice, -I was wondering if you could let me borrow some money?-
"Oh. Ok," the man in silver nodded as he took out a wallet and began to fish into it, "Let me see… I have about 100 in Nunits."
-Well, may not be much… but I'll take it,- the female robot smiled as she took all of the money and headed off.
"Bye," he waved.
"Ok… sorry for the wait…" Hoku said as he walked over before seeing the gold robot walk off, "So… uh, that a friend?"
"What is this 'friend' of which you speak?"
"You don't know what a friend is? Friends are people who care and help for one-another," Hoku informed, "You don't have any friends?"
"I come from a world where we have abandoned such things as friends, emotions… fruits…"
"Oh… you must be from the Ophiuchus constellation…" Hoku realized, "I didn't realize that… uh… is it true that all of the women in your constellation have snake bottoms and are a bit hypnosis obsessed?"
"Yes."
"...oh. Uh… ok, I didn't expect that rumor to be true. Anyhow… my name is Hokulele, but my friends call me Hoku. What's your name?"
"My name is Vul."
"Pleased to meet you, Vul. Now then… who was that golden robot?"
"I don't know. She asked me if she could borrow some money and I let her."
Hoku was about to say something, but realized it wasn't worth saying.
"So, where are you headed to?" Hoku asked.
"I am looking for somebody to help explain the concept of emotions to me. But no one would listen, so I simply waited."
"Well… you know one emotion…" Hoku commented.
"Being…?"
"Hope."
Vul didn't know what to say, and while one person would've looked confused, Vul gave a look that seemed more like anger or agitation.
"Uh…"
"Is this not the expression of confusion?" Vul inquired.
"...Uh… that's more like anger…" Hoku noted before he heard a loud female scream, "...I'll be back…"
-Let me go!- the golden robot snapped, trying to break from from an Invaker's grasp as it attempted to throw her into a cart with nothing but treasure, money, precious gems, etc.
Riding in the cart was a purple-skinned, magenta bearded member of the NUAE wearing a red and white outfit with gold and blue armor and decorations in the style of ancient Egyptian jewelry and a Pharoah's crown.
"A woman made of gold! Just my lucky day!" the monster smirked.
=LEO STAR SPHERE!=
=SAY THE CHANGE!=
"What the… what is that?" the monster blinked. Before he could say anything else, one of his Invakers was hit by a red and white star before a flash of light appeared as the Red Star Defender Ranger leaped in and punched more Invakers, "Ooh! A Power Ranger!"
"Red… Star Defender Ranger!" the ranger declared, swinging his sword around at the monster.
-A Power Ranger? I thought they were all dead…- the golden robot gawked.
"Don't be ridiculous. Power Rangers have gotten lift off and we're gonna save the universe!" Red stated, "...actually… that sounds kinda catchy… 'We have lift off and we're gonna save the universe'. Yea, I can work with that."
As he swung his sword around, the Egyptian NUAE monster got out and pulled out a small pistol that was red and gold before firing it at the Ranger.
"If I can beat a Power Ranger… who knows how high I'll get promoted? Alright Ranger, prepare to be defeated by Tugold!"
"You can't stop the Rangers without some serious plans," Red smirked as he charged in, slashing away the bullets that came his way before he got into melee range and slashed away, "Tugold? How'd you get that name?"
"What sort of a name is 'Star Defender'. Shorten it out and you get Power Rangers SD!"
"...I don't get it…" Red stated as he kicked Tugold back.
"You're too young to know that one," the monster grunted before blasting Red back, "Now, I believe you're in my way of newest treasure!"
-I'm NO ONE'S treasure, k? If I had the ability to kick your butt, I would!-
Tugold just scoffed and suddenly, his tail stretched out to try and grab the bot. Red quickly slashed at the tail to knock it away and managed to keep the bot safe.
"Follow me!" Red told her before he fired blasts with his Comet Morpher to distract Tugold. Red managed to get the gold robot to follow him, leading her into an alleyway and away from Tugold.
-Wow… thank you so much, Red Ranger,- the robot thanked.
"Don't worry, it's my job" Red shrugged off as he was about to walk away.
-I don't suppose you could help a gal by maybe giving me some cash?-
"Nice try, saw what you did to Vul."
-Who now?-
"Guy in silver you stole 100 Nunits from."
-Stole? What on Miranoi are you talking about?-
"He lost 100 from a gold robot and I saw you leave…"
She gave a nervous look, -Uh… y-yea, that's totally another robot. I'm pretty sure I'd remember someone in silver…-
Red simply stared at her for a moment before she decided to try and slip away. The Red Star Defender Ranger simply grabbed her by her shoulder and pulled her back before pulling out the Nunits she swiped from Vul. The Red Ranger then simply walked off.
"I found that bot," Hoku informed as he walked over to Vul, "And she gave me your money back."
"Thank you," Vul responded as he gave a sad look.
"Did she take more than that?"
"No. I was trying to express joy. ...Emotions are difficult."
"So… you have somewhere to go?"
"I do not," Vul informed, "I was going to head to a bank to find somewhere to stay."
"Why a bank?"
"Is that not where people learn the costs of things?"
Hoku was about to respond, but couldn't find the right words before deciding to change the subject, "Nevermind that. What brings you here?"
"I heard this was the home of Power Rangers and they bring out emotions in people. It is my best chance of learning emotions."
"Good luck with that," Hoku nodded as he grabbed the grocery bags, "Thanks for keeping an eye on these. I need to head home."
Vul gave a nod as Hoku headed off with the bags in tow.
"What took so long?" Karone asked.
"Sorry. Little trouble in Terra Venture with some thieves," Hoku informed as he set down the groceries, "Hopefully what's supposed to be cold is still cold. I hope that the others are doing ok."
"Hey doof," Connie greeted as she walked on, "Family friend managed to make that substance that'll mask the energy signature of our Star Spheres. …don't know how a guy with a degree in paleontology is so skilled with chemistry."
"I guess you gotta be well-versed in every field these days," Hoku guessed.
The girl simply shrugged as she opened the container with the substance to mask the signatures of the Star Spheres. She took out tongs and then slowly dipped her Chameleon Star Sphere in it.
"Doesn't look like anything happened…" Hoku commented.
Connie then pressed the clear button on her Morpher, "Theta, can you track my Star Sphere?"
-One moment.-
A few moments passed before Theta responded.
-I cannot. Whatever that substance is, it managed to render your Star Sphere completely invisible to the scanners.-
"Nice," Hoku gawked.
"There you go. No way for the NUAE to track us," Connie stated, "Hoku, go get the others so we can do this to all of our Star Spheres."
"Ok," Hoku nodded as he headed off to do that.
The girl in green was then left along with Karone and they decided to clean some dishes together.
"So…" Connie began as she looked around at some pictures on the wall, "...if you don't mind my asking… what's your husband like?"
"He's nice and sweet…" Karone smiled, "He and I were dating for many years before he proposed. Managed to hook it up and stay here on Miranoi. I did go to Earth around the time Hoku was born, but my husband was busy fighting in the war with the New United Alliance of Evil."
"Your husband's a Power Ranger?"
"That's right. He's out there right now trying to help people…" Karone informed, "And he keeps his distance so not to attract their attention to me…"
"With Dark Specter alive again… yeah… you'd probably have an even bigger target on your back than your brother."
"Why do you think I live in the forests of all places?"
"...because it's pretty?" Connie shrugged, "My family's friend lives in a forest. It's actually very nice and serene…"
Karone gave a small nod in response as she smiled at the trees of her home and finished cleaning a dish.
"So… how much will a home here on the planet cost?" Vul asked somebody at a bank.
"Approximately 12,500 Nunits."
Vul genuinely looked shocked by this and looked to the 100 that he had with him. He knew he didn't have enough, so he walked away. He ended up bumping into the gold robot on his way out.
-Hi.- she greeted.
"You again?"
-Uh… why are you here?-
Vul was silent as he headed out, but a loud shooting sound forced him back in.
-What was THAT?!-
"If you know what's good for you, everybody will put money into this bag here!" Tugold yelled.
The people in the bank panicked and began to do as told, apart from the golden robot and Vul. The former nervously held onto an orb of some kind while the latter held onto his money.
"I see two people who aren't paying up…" Tugold growled.
-Not a chance you NUAE jerkwad!- the bot snapped.
"Do you not know who you're speaking to?! I'm not just any ordinary NUAE member, I'm one of the Captains of the Constellations here in the KR Constellation!"
The bot just held her orb tighter and Vul simply tucked his money away.
"Poor choice… poor choice…" Tugold told him before taking out his gun and attempting to fire a gold coin at Vul, but the robot quickly stepped in front of the shot and took it.
She grunted in a bit of pain, Vul gasping in shock before the robot fell back and the alien from the Ophiuchus system caught her .
"Are you ok?" he asked in worry.
-I'll be fine. I've endured worse than this…- she giggled a bit before the orb began to shine a little, -What?-
Vul nodded, not noticing the glow, before looking to Tugold and growling in rage. He then charged forward and managed to tackle the monster to the ground and it caused a silver glow to come off of him.
-Guys, I'm detecting Star Sphere energy in the city. Two cases. They're in a public location. I'll teleport them and the monster to near your location to keep civilians from seeing the two morph. However, with this, I'll only have enough energy to teleport one of you over to their location.- Theta informed.
-Why not send red boy?- Connie sarcastically suggested.
-Ok,- Theta nodded as she then teleported Hoku, Vul, the robot and the monster to the forest outside Terra Venture.
"WHAT THE?!" Tugold gasped.
-Hey! How'd we get here?- the bot wondered before she and Vul saw they had Comet Morphers on, -Wow…-
"Welcome to the team," Hoku smiled, "Didn't expect you two to join up but welcome."
"I'll be happy to join," Vul informed, clenching his fist, "Anything to stop the NUAE from hurting people!"
-Oh hey, for a Ophean's lack of emotion and the knowledge thereof, that's actually a very good portrayal of anger; spot-on in fact,- the bot noted.
"Thank you?" Vul blinked a bit.
"Ready you two?" Hoku smiled as he took out his Star Sphere, but he saw them look confused, "...follow my lead. Star Spin!"
-Star Spin."
They all spun their Star Spheres, Vul's having the image of a cobra for the Ophiuchus System while the bot's had the image of scales to represent Libra.
=LEO STAR SPHERE!=
=SAY THE CHANGE!=
"Star Defenders…" Hoku began.
The robot inserted her Star Sphere next.
=LIBRA STAR SPHERE!=
Vul soon inserted his.
=OPHIUCHUS STAR SPHERE!=
They then tilted them forward.
=SAY THE CHANGE!=
"Star Defenders…- they both said as they mimicked Hoku's motions.
"Awaken!"
"Awaken!-
They all pulled the triggers soon after and the stars appeared over them. Vul's silver suit was simple, with the bodysuit having a snakeskin pattern and the cobra-shaped visor, but the Gold suit was unique. Apart from the balancing scale visor, it was the most ornate with multiple pieces to resemble robotic parts, yet still looked like a male's suit like some Yellow Rangers of the past did.
-Well… this is new,- Gold admitted as Silver began to poke her a bit, -What?-
"Your suit makes you look like a boy."
"Some suits have done that for girls," Red informed, "Don't be surprised. Now leave her be. We don't need you poking her while in the middle of a fight."
-Yea. What he said.-
"Now then… Red… Star Defender Ranger!"
-Gold… Star Defender Ranger!"
"Silver… Star Defender… Ranger."
"We have lift off and we're gonna save the universe! Power Rangers…"
"Star Defenders!-
With that, Gold stretched a bit while Silver looked on a bit as Red readied his weapon.
"Aren't you Ranger supposed to say pre-battle lines or something?"
"Still working on it," Red admitted, making Silver and Gold stumble a bit.
-Oi! Can we just start?- Gold demanded.
The other two Rangers nodded and rushed in as Gold was more acrobatic, flipping a bit and landing quick kicks on Tugold. Silver, he fought a bit more straightforward, focusing on strict punches and kicks as Red came in and punched when the opening presented itself.
"Ok Gold, since you're a bit new to this, how about I show you how the weapons work?" Red offered.
-Sure. That'll help a lot,- Gold nodded, the two starting by taking out the handles and axe blades.
"Start with the axe blade like this," Red started, attaching the axe on top.
-Ok,- Gold nodded, repeating Red, who then took out the slasher blade.
"And then the sword tip."
-On top!-
=STAR SWORD!=
With that, both Rangers held a Star Sword, but Gold looked like she had trouble lifting it, Red easily swinging the blade into the incoming Invakers and Tugold.
"Nice!" Red smiled.
-Easy for you to say, this is a bit heavy.-
Silver then came in, kicking the Invakers off.
-Wait… maybe I can change this into something more my style,- Gold figured, removing the sword tip, and attaching the axe blade from the top to the front.
=STAR CROSSBOW=
-Now this is more like it,- Gold admitted, blasting the Invakers rapidly.
"That's pretty cool," Red admitted.
Gold giggled as Silver took the slasher tip, made that, pulled out the rapier blade, and rotated the slasher tip to make it look like a scythe.
=STAR SCYTHE!=
Silver rushed in and swung the scythe at Tugold.
"Nice," Red smiled.
-Oh! Team up! Keep him busy a moment while I blast from a distance.-
The boys nodded, Red and Silver slashing up the monster before Gold began to blast away rapidly. She began to whoop as she kept it up, and eventually, all three backed Tugold in a corner.
"Let's finish him off!" Red called out.
"Yeah!-
"Wait, golden girl!" Tugold yelled, getting them to stop, "M-Maybe we can make a deal! How about you come join me and I'll treat you as my most valuable treasure ever. What do you say, huh?"
-Tch. Nice try, fatty. But I'm not an object! I'm a person! And you, well… I'd say it's time to put the Supernova on you!- Gold yelled as she and the others pulled back on the Star Spheres.
=GALAXY!=
"Star Defender Supernova Blast!- all three declared, their morphers charging the blast before they pulled the triggers and blasted Tugold away until he was blasted off only to hit some pipes and then blow up in a massive ball of flame.
"Nice job you two," Red smiled, "High-five!"
Gold nodded and high-fived Red, Silver looking in confusion before she raised his hand up and mimicked the gesture.
"Welcome to the team. Oh, say Gold, I never caught your name," Red stated.
-Bala. My name's Bala.-
"Nice to meet you," Red smiled.
"And my name is Vul," Silver reminded.
"Right," Red nodded.
Suddenly, they saw a small black box roll over before it exploded, and Tugold suddenly revive and grow giant.
"Time for the Megazord," Red figured as he tilted his Star Sphere leftwards.
=SAY THE SUMMONING!=
"Looks like we're needed," Connie realized as they saw the Leo Star Zord move quickly towards the South
-Here we go!- Bullbot grinned as he tossed the broom at Karone before he and the others headed out.
"Glad to see you all here," Red smiled as the other four Zords zoomed forward.
"Let's get to the combination," Blue suggested to the team.
"Good call."
=SAY THE COMBINATION!=
And so the Zords transformed and attached as per normal.
=STAR DEFENDER MEGAZORD!=
The Megazord stood ready, starting to walk towards Tugold, who blasted the Megazord fiercely. After said Megazord knocked the gun out of the monster's hand, Tugold backed up before swinging his tail around, knocking the team over.
"Hey dog, bot, mind helping us get back up?" Green yelled as she and Yellow attempted to get the Megazord back up.
-Help comin' up, cutie!-
"Stop calling me that!"
The Megazord struggled up as Gold and Silver looked on from below.
"It was to the left, right?" Silver asked as he tilted his Star Sphere leftwards.
-I think it was left,- Gold informed as she did the same.
=SAY THE SUMMONING!=
The two soon saw two new zords emerge, one being like a silver cobra head while the other was a golden set of scales. The two Rangers were soon encased in the Star Sphere cockpits and they attached to the zords, which transformed into humanoid figures.
=LIBRA/OPHIUCHUS STAR ZORD!=
The two Zords quickly sprang into action and fought off Tugold on their own for a bit.
"Where did those come from?!" Green yelled.
"Yeah, I'm confused about that too…" Blue added.
"Looks like this dish is about to get spicy…" Yellow joked.
-Can you please stop with the food metaphors?- Black groaned.
"It's my thing, ok?"
"Pardon us," Silver interrupted as his and Gold's Zords grabbed Yellow's and Green's.
"HEY! What're you doing?!" Green snapped.
-Just let us in on the fun!- Gold smiled as the two humanoid zords pulled off Dorado and Chameleon before transforming and taking their places as the arms of the Star Defender Megazord.
"Awesome…" Red gawked in amazement.
-Ready to fight when you are, Red,- Gold smiled.
"Let's kick this guy away from this planet," Silver added.
"You got it. Let's take this guy on!" Red smirked, Tugold trying to swing his tail again, but this time, Gold swung her zord in arm mode, causing it to send out energy discs that actually cut the tail off!
"MY TAIL! OW! OWOWOWOW!" Tugold yelled before falling over, Silver then had his mech stretch cartoonishly like snake to grab the monster and fling him spaceward as the five Rangers in the Megazord pulled back on their Star Spheres twice.
=SUPER GALAXY!=
"Star Defender Spin Break!"
After the constellations merged on the Megazord, Gold's Zord glowed brighter before it was spun out like a yo-yo, colliding with Tugold and causing him to spark.
"I'm cashing out on this~!" he screamed before exploding in defeat.
"The universe will know the name of the Star Defenders!"
"Why did you yank us out of the Megazord?!" Connie yelled.
-Couldn't help it. I just wanted to get in on the action. I'm not one to stay on the sidelines for long,- Bala smiled as she walked over to Connie, -Nice to meet you. Name's Bala.-
"And I'm Vul," Vul stated with a nod as he was handed a broom by Bullbot.
-You do that job. I'm not going to.-
"I'll find you a new job," Karone told him.
"I will do my best to clean the house in the meantime," Vul nodded, getting to work.
Bala giggled a bit while Bullbot simply stared at her with hearts in his eyes.
Pikatwig: Looks like Bullbot's falling for Bala.
KKD: Well, how about that?
Pikatwig: And we also have our general introduction to Gold and Silver.
KKD: That was pretty cool to boot. Not to mention we found Yellow, despite good intentions, seems a little on the lazy side, but that was a footnote in comparison to everything else.
Pikatwig: Connie mentions a family friend that lives in the woods and knows a lot about archeology… hmm… wonder who that is...
KKD: Either way, it was a fun chapter to bring into the story. And this does show what happened to Terra Venture with the result of the NUAE's takeover… basically it became ruins after what happened so long ago.
Pikatwig: Yep.
KKD: Still, I'm glad we go to this as we're starting to bring in the full team, to which Gold and Silver relatively remained intact, just some minor changes here or there, but I hope we can develop them further.
Pikatwig: So, before you ask why Balance has become a girl… *points to KKD* his idea!
KKD: To be fair, I wanted there to be a bit more of a balance in the gender ratios. The best we had on either coast was Dekaranger with out of all the ten Rangers shown we had a perfectly equal five boys and five girls even if Gold was only movie exclusive. In fact, I think DekaGold was part of the reason why I wanted our Gold ranger female. If Japan can at least TRY and get us a female gold ranger anywhere, why can't we? Plus, Balance's posing and movements can seem very feminine at times, so it does work.
Pikatwig: And you also once said you could imagine Balance as a girl due to some of the stuff he does at times.
KKD: That's kinda what I just said, but thanks for clarifying.
Pikatwig: Anyway… favorite parts?
KKD: Aside from the part at the beginning with Mako trying to cheat at fishing with the Pisces Star Sphere and him gulping when he couldn't use it later, I think my favorite parts were when Bala and Vul came into the scene and helped the Rangers. This was my favorite debuts for rangers in terms of Kyuranger, and this was no exception. Yours?
Pikatwig: I think the bit with Connie and Karone speaking of Hoku's dad.
KKD: May I ask why that in particular?
Pikatwig: I'm not sure, something about it was neat. Also, the currency used the way to say it is 'new-nit'. Meant as a play on NUAE and 'unit'.
KKD: I see. But I don't think the NUAE is supposed to be pronounced "Nu-ay" or whatever. I just made it an acronym where you'd say the N.U.A.E. saying each letter, but… I just gave those who don't like that a new option. Whatever floats your boat.
Pikatwig: I was just staring at it at one point and the name just came to me. The Jark Matter do have some form of currency like the Zangyack did.
KKD: That is true.
Pikatwig: We'll figure out the conversion rate another time.
KKD: Yea. But for now, I think it's safe to leave this one right here and we'll see you guys next time. *salutes* Jaa ne.
Pikatwig: Just Live More.
