At the balcony of the castle,
Luka: CAIN... Tell me the truth. Do you make any agreement with Basco? What did he said to you?
Cain: Nothing, Luka. We meet at a space business expo. He introduced himself and showed me this abandoned planet. He even offered a lot of assistance to rebuild this planet as what you can see now. I bought this planet legally of course. You don't believe me?
Luka: It's not that. It just that Basco cannot be trusted, Cain. Trust me! He had betrayed Marvelous before and even harmed us. To deal with him for any agreement is not a wise decision.
Cain: So, it's because he betrayed Marvelous, isn't it? Cain can't help but to give annoyed reaction and voice tone causing Luka feels unease.
Luka: What I mean i-is, he has betrayed once, he can betrayed more in the future.
Cain: Luka, relax. He's a changed man. That was before. Aren't you happy with this planet?
Luka: I'm happy. Thank you. But, I don't know that you would go that far just to build this planet. You don't have too.
Cain: Well, love makes us do crazy thing. Can't you see... I love you, Luka. More than anything, more than anyone in this universe.
Luka: Cain... it's not funny!(She stuttered and pretend to be angry)
Cain: I'm not joking, Luka. I always love you since our childhood days, can't you see it? I would do anything to make your dream come true.
Luka: Cain... (She was shocked and speechless) I... I don't know that.
Cain: Guess, you don't know that because you have feelings for the captain, right? That is also the reason why you won't be staying here. Cain looks right into Luka's eyes.
Luka: Nnn-no... Who said that? Who said that I won't be staying here.
Cain: I look the way you guys look upon each other.
Luka: T-ttthat... just your feeling, Cain.
Cain: If that so, then stay with me here, Luka. Stop being a pirate for real and we build a new life together, here. It's our planet.
Luka: You know I can't do that! Please, don't force me Cain... (Luka turn away from Cain and holding her fist).
Cain: You do have feelings for him... (Cain smirked) You even chose him over me and the kids, what else could it be other than love?
Luka: Cain, Stop it! Don't force me... Luka irritated. She's not ready to choose between two.
At the field,
Marvelous stood up and folded his arms. He looks deep through the hills in front of him while having the deepest thought on everything; his feeling towards Luka, whether Luka choose to stay or leave with them and what worry him so much now is Basco. He knows that Basco is the baddest company and the most non-trustworthy person in the space and he knows that Luka knows that too. He knows that Luka already had things planned in her mind but he can't guess what.
Basco: Thinking about your beloved lady thief, aren't you? (Basco is coming from behind making Marvelous stuttered for a sec)
Marvelous: Basco!
Basco: Aahhh... don't yell my name everytime you see me like it is a bad thing. (He smirked)
Marvelous draw out his sword and point it right under Basco's chin causing Basco pulling his smirked away.
Basco: Aaah... Marvelous... Really? He tried to push away Marvelous's sword but Marvelous insisted firmly. Clearly, he's not joking
Marvelous: What are you doing here, Basco? What are you up to?
Basco: Well, you heard what Cain said yesterday night, right? I'm come on invitation. Plus, I already got trillions zagin from Cain. What else could I ask for? Now, I'm just travelling all over the space.
Marvelous: Liar! You're up for something.
Basco: If yes... it's none of your business, Marvelous. I'm no longer interested with small things like Ranger Keys. So, no worries... you can keep those. (Basco pushed the sword away and gives away evil laugh). By the way, how your lady thief is doing anyway? She's fine? (Cain smirked)
Marvelous started to feel restless. He can smell Basco's evil plan but he cannot guess exactly what. "Basco! Don't you dare!"
Basco: Just wait and see! Ta-daa... gotta go. (Basco looked at his watch, 12.30pm). The King is inviting me for lunch.
