The Encounter With Unique Pirates

[Vancouver, Canada. 5:54 pm]

Mal's POV

We left our hotel room and started our walk to the restaurant. It wasn't dark out yet, but street lights and building lights were starting to turn on. We held hands as we were checking out everything.

"Oh, Mal. This is an amazing city." Evie said.

"It is. This easily beats Auradon for sure." I said.

Evie then stopped and had me look at her.

"Are you okay, Mal?" she asked.

I was a little surprised to hear her ask me that suddenly, but she does worry about me.

"I am. I'm fine, Evie. I really am." I said.

"Yeah. You know, they're probably been looking for you." Evie said.

I smiled.

"Let them. They're never going to find me, or you. No doubt it's a mess back there, but I know our family will be alright. Audrey's probably lost her mind, and I don't really care how Ben feels." I said.

"But you're feeling okay?"

"I am. Now, can we continue our walk?" I asked.

"Of course, Mal."

I gave Evie a kiss on the lips and we resumed our walk. A few minutes later we saw an alleyway to our left. And way down past the end stood the restaurant. It became the perfect short cut. Otherwise we would have to walk a ways until we could make a left at the next intersection and walk all the way around. We agreed on it and started walking into the kind of dark alleyway. Which we would've thought twice if we knew what was going to happen.

We weren't even halfway down the alleyway when trouble started. Two guys stood in our way. Both were dressed like they worked in construction or even at the shipyard that wasn't far from the harbor where we docked our yacht. And we immediately got a bad feeling from these two.

"Hello, ladies." one man said.

"Hi." Evie said, while holding tightly onto my hand.

"Evening." I said.

"My name's James and he's Mike. Where are you two headed on this nice evening?"

That man, James, started to gain an interest in Evie. Of course, who wouldn't? The other man, Mike, didn't seem to have an interest in me though.

"We're going out for dinner." Evie replied.

"Oh nice! Mind if we join you? We know a great place for food and drinks. What do you say, blue bird? I'll buy you a drink." said James.

Blue bird? Really?

"No thanks. We'll pass." Evie said.

As we started to walk away, James stood right in front of Evie.

"But I insist." he said.

"I said no thanks. Now, please, let us be on our way. " Evie said.

Unfortunately for us, James wasn't going to take no for an answer. Evie exclaimed as he grabbed her by the arm. This is where things started to get a little violent.

"I'll ask you one more time. Come with me." James said.

"No!" Evie said.

"Let us be!" I said.

Mike made me and Evie lose our grip on each other's hand by forcefully pulling us away from each other. We both yelled and tried our best to free ourselves, but had no luck. Mike dragged me away from Evie a bit, while it seemed Evie was James' target. Evie had an uncomfortable look on her face as James felt her cheek.

"You're very pretty." he said.

Evie didn't say anything.

"Come on, sweetheart. Let me give you the best night of your life." James said.

"I already had lots." Evie said.

"Oh, but not like what I'm going to give you."

"Would it involve sex and drinking? Because I've already had nights like that."

James didn't like what Evie had said. He pushed Evie up against a wall nearby.

"Now, look! I'm going to take you out and that's final!" James said.

"Not with the way you've been, you're not." Evie said.

James grabbed Evie by her arms. Evie tried to make him lose his grip, but he was too strong.

"I'll let you go when you have some drinks with me." he said as he started to force Evie to follow him.

"No!" Evie screamed.

I tried to run to her, but Mike stopped and restrained me.

"Don't interfere!" he said.

"Let me go!" I said.

I looked ahead and saw Evie being pulled away. We both shouted each other's names while also starting to cry. It was a scary moment for us.

"It seems these two are closely connected. You better bring her along." he said to Mike.

"Yes, sir." Mike said.

He grabbed me by my right arm and started to pull me along.

"Let us go!" Evie said.

"Quiet! You'd both be fools not to come along with us." said James.

They pulled us through the alley way until a black SUV was seen up ahead.

"That's our ride. You both will get in with us." said James.

"No!" Evie screamed.

James pushed Evie to the ground, and he started walking to the car until...

"Stop! You're not getting any further!" said a male voice behind us.

We all looked behind us and saw another man with sort of long black hair dressed in a black shirt with a red trench coat unbuttoned over it with black pants and black boots running towards us. He ran past me and Mike and punched James. Evie gasped as James fell to the ground. Then I felt Mike lose his grip on me.

I turned around and saw a woman with long brown hair and dressed in a white and grey striped shirt with a yellow jacket unbuttoned over it. She also had blue short shorts on but black leggings on with tan winter boots. She punched Mike and he fell to the ground near James. James got up and looked at the two people who saved us. At least I think they saved us.

"Who are you two?" he asked.

"You don't know who we are? Well, I won't say anything. Except if you know what's good for you, you'll get in your vehicle and leave." said the man who punched him.

"If you don't, you might not like what will happen otherwise." said the woman.

"You both dress well and talk big. But you two should be the ones to leave. All I want is to have a drink with this blue beauty." said James.

"Yeah, but you know you wouldn't stop there." said the woman.

James tried to punch the man in red, but he caught James' punch and got hit instead. Mike tried to do the same thing to the woman, but she hit him as well. James and Mike tried it once more, but they got hit in the face.

"We can do this all night. But I really don't feel like it." said the man in red.

As the man in red started walking towards James, Mike pulled out a small pistol from his jacket pocket and aimed it at the man in red.

"You're gonna wish you hadn't interfered." he said.

"Oh no." I whispered, thinking Evie and I were about to witness a killing.

I looked around for Evie, but I didn't see her. I then looked at Mike and saw Evie sneaking up behind him. Then quick as a flash, Evie jumped and kicked the gun out of his hand. Mike exclaimed and went to grab for the gun on the ground, but Evie kicked him in the stomach and made him fall on his back. James ran towards Evie and tried to punch her, but Evie ducked under his hand and kicked him in the leg. He turned around and tried to punch Evie again, but Evie punched him first and made him fall near his partner in crime. I smiled as I thought that was the coolest thing for Evie to do. The man in red also smiled.

"Now that's how you make a show of things." he said.

Evie adjusted her stance, with both hands clenched. The man in red stood next to her on the left, with the woman on the right. Evie glared at the two other men, while the man in red crossed his arms and the woman had her left hand on her hip while moving her right arm in a swinging motion.

"You both are very bad people." Evie said to James.

"Yes. Now be good and let yourselves get beaten." said the man in red.

James and Mike were scared now.

"Hey, come on now. No harm was done." said James.

"Yeah, we were just having a little fun." said Mike.

"I wouldn't call attempted kidnapping 'a little fun'." I said as I stood up.

I walked over and stood next to the woman.

"Let's get out of here." said James.

"Agreed." said Mike.

They ran to their SUV, and the man and woman followed, but stopped as the two men started their vehicle and made a quick take off. Afterwards, they returned back to us.

"Thank you so much for saving us." Evie said.

"Of course." said the woman.

"But why? You don't know us." I said.

Evie hit me in the arm.

"Mal, don't be that way. Be grateful they came along when they did." she said.

"I am. It's just...well..."

I was at a loss for words. The man in red smiled at me.

"No need to say more. We saw what they were doing to you and we didn't like it. So we decided to beat them up." he said.

"Yep. Cause that's what pirates do." said the woman.

I quickly looked at the woman.

"Pirates?" I asked.

"Yes, we're space pirates." said the woman.

Evie and I were shocked.

"Space pirates?" Evie asked.

"You're from space? No way." I said.

"Oh, but we are." said the man.

"Yes. Uchū kaizoku is what we call ourselves." said the woman.

That's a little bizarre.

"Wow, okay. I'm Evie, and this is Mal. What are your names?" Evie asked.

"The name's Luka. And he's Marvelous." said the woman.

"Marvelous? That's a unique name." I said.

"Yes, well, we're unique pirates. Not like your common Earth ones." Marvelous said.

That's a relief. Because Evie and I know some pirates. And I can see a feud happening between them and these two. As I was thinking that to myself, I noticed Marvelous staring at me.

"What?" I asked.

"Not only are you both very pretty, but you look skillful too. I know Blue is, but I'm sure you are too." Marvelous said.

"What does that mean?" I asked.

"How about you join us?" Marvelous asked.

"Join you?" Evie asked.

"Yes. Luka and I are searching for a treasure that's hidden on this planet. And we could use talented people like you." Marvelous said.

"Great idea, Marvelous! You two should join us." Luka said.

I smiled as that didn't sound too bad. I could use some excitement after what happened back in Auradon. I looked at Evie and Evie looked at me. She knew I would like too, as I think she would like too as well. But there's an important reason why we're here.

"That's very kind of you. But I'm afraid we'll have to decline your offer. Mal and I are busy right now. You could say that we're looking for our own treasure right now." Evie said.

"Oh? What's that?" Luka asked.

"Our forever home." Evie replied.

"Yeah, we just got here. We moved from a place far away. And we're looking for a home to start the next chapter in our lives." I said.

"Oh you two are together? Nice." Luka said.

Evie grabbed and held my hand.

"Forever and ever." she said.

"Well, Marvelous and I are together as well. It took him long enough to admit it, but he loves me and I love him." Luka said.

"Yeah, mostly." Marvelous said.

Evie and I smiled as Luka playfully hit him in the stomach.

"Well, Mal, Evie. It was nice to meet you." Luka said.

"Nice to meet you too. I hope we'll see you again." Evie said.

"We travel here occasionally, so I'm sure you will." Luka said.

"Well, see ya." Marvelous said.

"Bye." I said.

Luka followed Marvelous as he started to walk away, until Evie stopped them.

"Wait!" Evie said.

The two turned around and looked at Evie, as well as I did, confused.

"What is it?" I asked.

Evie walked up to Marvelous and Luka.

"Would you guys like to join us for dinner?" Evie asked.

That got Marvelous' attention.

"Dinner?" he asked.

"With you two?" Luka asked.

"Yes! You both saved us from being kidnapped. The least we can do is pay you with dinner." Evie said.

Marvelous and Luka looked at each other and smiled to Evie's invitation.

"Alright. Sure. We'll be happy to dine with you." Luka said.

"Since you're buying." Marvelous said.

"Great!" Evie happily exclaimed.

She walked back over to me and held my hand.

"Is this okay with you?" she asked.

"Of course. I don't mind at all." I replied.

And I truly didn't. Evie gave me a kiss on the cheek and the four of us walked to the restaurant. We got to the restaurant and was greeted by a waiter who walked us to a nice table in the corner of the restaurant. Surprisingly, it wasn't that busy for being dinner time. After we looked through the menu and ordered what we wanted, we talked, getting to know each other.

Marvelous and Luka told us about them being from different worlds and coming to Earth to find "the greatest treasure in the universe" and them defeating an evil space empire. Evie and I were a little skeptical about that until Marvelous showed us his phone which looked nothing like we've ever seen, plus it was far more advanced that any phone out there. Almost to me like it runs on magic. We told them a little about us. We didn't tell them who our parents were but we did say we were from Auradon.

"Auradon? I've flew above that place before. But never stepped foot there. Is there any value there?" Marvelous asked.

The kind of question a pirate would ask.

"No. We moved from there to here after…"

"Having a dispute with some people." Evie finished for me.

"Yeah. Besides the small family we have there, there's really no value there to us." I said.

Marvelous nodded in response. A waiter and a waitress brought our food to our table. I ordered some grilled chicken strips, Evie ordered a caesar salad, Luka ordered some tacos, and Marvelous ordered a big plate of boneless wings. So many wings, I asked if he was going to be able to eat all of that. Luka told me that Marvelous has a big appetite and also said that he once ate many different kinds of food in one sitting. She kept going on about it until Marvelous told her to "shaddup" and eat. Evie smiled to herself as we watched Luka slap Marvelous on the arm. Evie and I noticed they have a love-hate relationship. But mostly love. Anyway, as we were eating our dinner, I felt really happy inside. But yet, a little sad too.

I started thinking about Carlos and Jay. And then Lonnie and Jane. I was really beginning to miss them. And really wished there were more times the six of us ate meals together like we're having with Marvelous and Luka. But inside, I made a mental note. Right after Evie and I find our house and get settled in, I'm going to make arrangements to have them come over and visit us. That'll be my next mission.

After having that thought, I felt better and happy before Evie noticed anything wrong. We spent the next forty minutes in the restaurant before Evie paid for us. The total cost was just over sixty five dollars. More than Evie planned, but this was a nice way of celebrating our arrival. After paying, the four of us walked out of the restaurant and stood at the front of the building. It was completely dark out now, and the city lights were beautiful.

"If you both got here today, where are you staying?" Luka asked.

"We got a hotel room not far from here." Evie replied.

"Well, how about we walk you to the hotel?" Luka asked.

"Really, Luka? You know you don't have to." Evie said.

"Yeah. But I don't mind. Besides, I don't want you both to go through that alleyway by yourselves again." Luka said.

"Yeah, we'll definitely not go through there again." I said.

They walked with us to the hotel's entrance. It was a quiet walk, but nice.

"Thank you again for saving us." I said.

"Of course." Luka said.

"And having you buy us dinner makes it even." Marvelous said.

"Luka, you said that you both come here occasionally." Evie said.

"Yes?" Luka said.

"Well, I've been thinking, and well, maybe the next time we see you, we'll be living in our new house. And when that time comes, I'd like to invite you over for another dinner together. As friends." Evie said, reaching out her hand.

Marvelous and Luka smiled, as did I.

"Deal." Marvelous said, shaking hers first.

"Sounds good to me." Luka said, shaking Evie's hand after.

Evie hugged Marvelous and Luka. Then I hugged them.

"Well, see ya, Mal. See ya, Evie." Marvelous said.

"Bye." Evie and I said.

Just then, a loud engine sound was heard above. We looked up and saw a massive red flying pirate ship in the sky. But this ship didn't look anything like the pirate ships we've seen. Anyone could say they were space pirates, but not everyone would have that. As the giant ship hovered above us, two ropes were seen sent down from the ship. Marvelous and Luka waved to us before they grabbed the ropes and were pulled up into the ship. The ship then made a turn to the direction behind us and flew away.

"Now that was awesome!" Evie said.

"Wasn't it?" I asked.

It truly was. After we got inside our room, Evie stomped her foot on the floor.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"I wanted to go to the harbor to get our things from the yacht." she replied.

"Oh. Well, let's go in the morning. Besides, I'm tired and don't feel like doing anything else." I said.

"Yeah, okay. Besides, it was nice of them to walk us here, and I don't want to waste that."

I grabbed Evie's purse from her and set it on the desk.

"Let's sleep naked tonight. When was the last time we did that?" I asked.

Evie stuttered for words.

"I...I don't remember." she said.

"Well let's make our first night here that way."

"Okay."

We took turns using the bathroom. And lastly we took our clothes off. Evie turned off all the lights in the room, except the one by our bed. We got into bed and I laid on top of Evie, with my arms around her and the blanket over me.

"You know, you were pretty awesome beating those guys up." I said.

"I was?" Evie asked.

"Yes. And meeting those pirates was pretty cool. But thank you for taking me here." I said.

"You're welcome, baby. Tomorrow, we'll begin the search for our house." she said.

"I can't wait." I said.

I snuggled myself closer to Evie and we kissed a few times, before Evie turned off the lamp by us. The only light was the moonlight sneaking in through the curtains.

"Good night, Mal. Sweet dreams, baby." she said.

"Good night, sweetness. Sweet dreams to you too." I said.

"I love you."

"I love you too."

We kissed once more and we both soon fell asleep. For the few hours we've been here, I can safely say that I think we'll enjoy it here. And I can't wait to begin the search for our forever home.

A/N: Marvelous and Luka are from Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger. I'm finishing a story on that, and I thought it would be cool to have my two favorite couples meet each other. This chapter wasn't really necessary, it was just for fun. Even if you're not familiar with Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger, I hope you enjoyed the chapter.

Happy Holidays!
