CHAPTER 15: Cain's Dream

The next morning, Doc does some final checking on the Galleon and fixes anything that is necessary whereas Gai and Joe busy filling the fuel for Galleon and Ahim is checking their food stock as per Marvelous's order. Nothing weird about his orders, it just what they usually do. But this time around, they're going without Luka. They wished to stay to attend Luka and Cain's wedding but the Captain seems don't want to stay any longer.

Doc: Marvelous, everything is ready... Are you sure, you don't want to stay...?

Gai: Yeah, I think so, Marvelous-san. It just few weeks away...

Marvelous still folding his arms and look far on the hills. "Iyahh, we can't stay any longer... Get going!" Marvelous walked to his deck.

Few minutes before the Gokai Galleon was about to take off, suddenly there is a boy runs towards Gokai Galleon, looks like he carries something in his hands.

Marvelous immediately hold the gear, holding the galleon few inch from the ground. He perks up to the window to catch a glimpse of her.

Ahim and Joe go down to the door. "What is it, young boy?"

"Onee-chan wants you guys to have this. Please take these things with you," He throws a bag of things and later caught by Joe.

"Luka-san... " Ahim feel sad. Though, they were about to take off, she is not coming to see them for the last time. But, Ahim understand that Luka has her own reason.

"Thank you," said Joe.

Marvelous tries to steal some glance on the ground. Still, Luka is not visible. Then, he releases the gear and finally Gokai Galleon floats and flew to the sky. "Luka..."

"Sayonara... Gokaiger" screamed the kids of Planet Millcain.

At the balcony of the palace tower,

Basco: So how do you feel, Your Highness? Finally, your lady agreed to stay here and soon you guys will get married. (Basco gave that wicked smirk on his face)

Cain: You have no idea on how I'm feeling right now. I was so afraid that she will leave me again. But, I was surprised when she...

Throwback

Luka was watching the shooting stars on the palace tower. She needed clean and fresh air to clear her mind. The secret that Basco recently revealed and what happened between her and Marvelous are just too much for her to handle right now. But above all, she actually worried about Basco's presence on this planet. She was so sure that Basco is up for something and she would do anything to unveil Basco's plan by making him lowered his guard.

For that to happens, she has to come up with a plan by sending her comrade out from the planet, investigates everything by herself and fooled Basco. Moreover, this is her dream and she shall defend the planet on her own and this time, it is personal. She can't afford to let her dream being destroyed and having the kids' future ended up like her late sister ever again.

Luka whispered, "What should I do..."

Cain approached Luka and stand beside her. "What are you doing here? Thinking about me maybe?"

Luka just put a little smile on her face and look at Cain for few seconds before turns her face to the sky.

Cain: What is it, Luka? If what I said bothers you, you can forget about it. Just pretend I never said that...

Luka talked in low voice, "You always there when I need you, back in our planet. You helped me taking care of the kids when you can choose to escape with others. And now, you work so hard to realize my dream... Why are you doing all this, Cain?" Luka turns her face towards Cain.

Cain seems surprised as they never talked about this. All they do is showing good gesture as bestfriend. Moreover, Luka is not comfortable with emotional scene or showing her emotions. She rather pretends like she doesn't care but does all the good deeds behind the scene.

Cain sighed. "They are my family too. Moreover... I think you already know the answer, Luka. But, you pretend like you didn't. I never blame you for that. After what you've gone through, you can't afford to be vulnerable and occupied with feelings. But, I guess you never consider me more than friends, though.

Luka sighed. She knew that Cain will say that. "Cain... gomen. Sorry for not being aware with your feelings. It must be really hard on you. Guess you know me more than I did,"

Cain: Well, at least you did now...

Cain sighed in disappointment but still faking his smile. He doesn't want Luka to feel burdened at the same time. They stayed in silence and shared the night view.

"Let's get married... " Luka says abruptly, breaking the silence.

Cain was so surprised. He never expected Luka to say so. "Luka... what?"

Luka: I... mean it.

Cain: Luka... please don't play with my feelings. If you want to make me feel good... this is not...

Luka interrupted : I mean it... Let's get married and settle down. I have achieved my dream, what more could I ask for? Moreover, we have known each other since childhood. Let us focus on the kids and this planet... Moreover, this is your dream.

Cain: Luka... (He holds Luka's hand and his eyes begin to teary)

Luka smiled, she never thought when she accepted Cain's proposal, he would be so happy. Though, she considered Cain only as her bestfriend and knows very well that her heart belongs to someone else, but in a way she feel relieved that she able to repay Cain's kindness and deed towards her all this time and makes him happy. Cain has realized her dream and it's her turn.

There's no turning back now. She has made her decision. Though, she felt slightly off with the decision... she has to make the sacrifice. After all, she had something in mind.

Cain immediately pulled Luka in his arms and hugged her tightly. "Thank you, Luka!". He will never let her go anymore.

Marvelous just saw them from far and clenching his fist and teeth. (No wonder, Marvelous is not so surprised when Luka and Cain showed up in Gokai Galleon and said that they're getting married. He already heard that. Nevertheless, Marvelous tried to deny what he just saw and hoping that Luka will change her mind, which why he perks up when he saw Luka on the Gokai Galleon. But sadly, that's not what happen)

Back to Cain and Basco' s prior conversation...

Cain: I wonder what did you do to change her mind? Whatever it is, I'm so grateful to you.

Basco: I'm just telling her the 'truth' that she doesn't know all this time. She is a wise lady, she can see the differences. Nah... I've done nothing. Perhaps, before she changes her mind... you might want to hurry the wedding, instead of next month, why don't you make it next week... (Basco started to play his trick. It's hard to guess what he actually up to)

Cain: It's a good idea... I will...

To be continued...

Spoiler:

I'm planning to make a one shot of Marvelous/Luka after married life and relate it to their comeback in Zyuohger episode 29. In the episode, Luka looks so gorgeous and matured with long hair and Marvelous 's face looks more matured and he seems to tone down a bit... which gives me the starting ideas of how their appearance and personality would be after married and still fight alongside their comrade when they were needed. This one might take some times. But, you guys can start to imagine okay! And what do you want to see in this one-shot (perhaps, I'll extend it to 2-3 shot if I've time,LOL) ;-D
