Aka Red! [Marvelous' voice is filled with worry, and he turns and shoots so fast and wildly, that all that can be seen is smoke. He bends near Aka Red] We're almost there, we just need to get into the Galleon. You can do it, Aka Red, we've got to go and get the treasure!

[inheritstheredsouls]

[There. There it was again - the pulse of something new starting. AkaRed felt it during his first meeting with Marvelous, when the latter surrendered the Akaranger key to him. And now, as it was then, he remembered Navi's words of prophecy from that day:

"When you find the first of the old, you will also find the first of the new."

Could Marvelous truly be...?]

...Ah. Let's go...together. [AkaRed nodded as he tried to stand up straight - not an easy feat to do with a big gash on your side. Not hearing any soldiers nearby for the moment, he plunged the tip of his Saber into the ground and let it stand there for a moment as he whipped out his Mobirates. He pressed a series of numbers, and the side entrance of the ship opened up...]

[gunandsaber]

[Marvelous kept himself nearby, near enough to let AkaRed lean on him if he needed to, but not too close to make his mentor feel as if he had to lean on him. Walking into the ship, the side entrance closed quickly after them]

I'll get the medkit.

[inheritstheredsouls]

[It's only when they're safe inside, with no apparent signs of enemies within, that AkaRed finally dropped his guard. It's only then that the D-Magmuns faded away in small flashes of light. It was only in that moment did AkaRed truly began to show the toil this night took on his body - by leaning heavily on the wall, his free hand covering that wound which was leaving an impressive stain in the side of his suit.]

Be careful when you go up...there may still be a couple of soldiers about.

[gunandsaber]

[Marvelous nods, reaching in and pulling out his own gun] Oi, Bird! [He calls to Navi] Get us out of here, and fast!

[inheritstheredsouls]

[There was a moment of eery silence. Where was their robo-parrot...?]

...Navi's probably still hiding in the crow's nest. I told him to stay there until we gave him the all-clear.

[gunandsaber]

Right. [He goes up there to get the bird first, making sure it's all clear]

[inheritstheredsouls]

[The common room turns out to be empty, but there's clearly signs of the recent battle in there. The same thing applies to the cooking galley. But judging from the footsteps on the deck above, though, they still have company.

Meanwhile, AkaRed forced himself to remain standing until Marvelous was out of sight. Only then did he allow himself to slide down onto the floor. Setting the chest down next to him, he covered that large wound with both hands in an attempt to help stop the blood flow. With his adrenaline levels finally lowering, he grimaced from all the pain that's finally hitting his brain.]

[gunandsaber]

[Marvelous did have to fight off a few people on his way up to get Navi, but on searching the rest of the upper parts of the ship, that appeared to be all that was left, He made his way back down and--]

Aka Red!

[inheritstheredsouls]

[Thankfully, the blood flow was not fast to begin with, but it was still several minutes before Marvelous came back, and AkaRed was started to feel lightheaded from the loss of blood. He was also shaking a little - not because he was feeling cold, though. But because his power levels have dipped so low that it was a struggle to keep his suit on.

AkaRed slowly lifted his head up upon his companions' return.] Marvelous... Navi

~I'm right here!~ [The robo-parrot quickly flew to AkaRed's side.] ~Are you okay, AkaRed? Hang in there!~

I'm okay. [AkaRed shifted to get up, but immediately stopped as he groaned from the pain - not just that large gash at his side, but also all those bruises from his earlier battle with Basco.] ...somewhat.

[gunandsaber]

[Marvelous had ran to get the first aid kit while Navi stayed with Aka Red, skidding a little as be brought it back, and falling to his mentor's side]

We need a bandage, a big one, and some medicine, and...

[He goes on, muttering to him, but bringing out the needed items. One of which is something sugary. AkaRed is loosing a lot of blood. If he sucks on the hard-boiled sweet, it should stop him feeling so light-headed while Marvelous attempts to clean and close the wound]

[inheritstheredsouls]

[AkaRed willingly took the sweet and pop them into his mouth. (though still a mystery as to how food gets through his helmet's mouth piece and into his actual mouth...) The high amount of sugar helped him stay awake and aware while Marvelous tended to his wound. He's trying not grunt and wince from the sting of the medicine - trying being the keyword here.]

Navi...take off. Get us to the--ngh!--nearest safe port.

~Aye, aye, captain! Please hold on to something bolted until we're in the clear~ [And with that, Navi flaps back up to the main computer controls and gets the ship's engines fired up.]

[gunandsaber]

[Marvelous looks up a little, and lowers his eyes again] When something is painful, you said we should show the pain to allow the proper treatment.

[inheritstheredsouls]

[AkaRed made a face behind his helmet. Of all of his sayings to throw back at him, and at all times, too...] Even so, I'd rather not deafen your ears--OWowowowow! [Okay, he's just going to...stop shifting for a bit...]

[gunandsaber]

[Marvelous did not show any outward signs of worry at his mentor's pain, but it was clear that it was going to be a hard act to keep up if he didn't finish the treatment quickly]

[inheritstheredsouls]

[AkaRed leaned his head back, eyes shut tight from the pain. He thought, for a moment, that a good meal after this might be good...but then his memory reminded him why that's not going to happen tonight. Nor for a long while, in fact, if the sinking feeling in his stomach is any indication.]

...I--ow!--I guess we'll need to find a new cook...

[gunandsaber]

[Marvelous' expression tightens, and he gives a nod, not really trusting himself to speak about this]

[inheritstheredsouls]

[Upon seeing that look on Marvelous' face, AkaRed mentally kicked himself for saying that. He knew that Marvelous and Basco had been close for quite a while. The poor lad must be more hurt about the betrayal than he himself was...

It was only when the wound was just about patched up when Navi started squawking over the comm.] "Ahhh! Enemy ships are firing at us in pursuit! What to do; what to do; whatever will we do?!" [And of course upon that announcement, the ship started to rock from the hits that started landing.]

[gunandsaber]

[Marvelous jumped to his feet] We fire back!

[inheritstheredsouls]

Navi, re-route all gun controls to the computer console until further notice! Fire when ready! [AkaRed barely waited for the bird's acknowledgement before he started trying to get back onto his feet.

Trying being the keyword here...]

[gunandsaber]

[Marvelous moved back quickly, near enough to hold Aka Red up if need be] You should rest

[inheritstheredsouls]

[AkaRed shook his head, one hand clinging to one of the pipes along the walls.] Navy can only navigate so much at the console. Someone has to be at the wheel...

[gunandsaber]

I'll do it. [He's never been at the wheel before, but he can't risk Aka Red hurting himself even more]

[inheritstheredsouls]

This is hardly the best time to learn how to steer the ship, Marvelous. [Stubborn captain is stubbornly trying to walk on his own.

He doesn't get any further than a few steps, though, before he doubles over - not just from the pain from the wound, but also from the strain of keeping his suit on while his power levels are dangerously low.]

[gunandsaber]

I'm a fast learner. [It's the stubborn tone]
