[Video] Canon Update - Gokaiger

[sumofallreds]

(OOC Note: Joint post with do_it_ecstatically. Marvelous will talk in Red, while Gai will speak in grey.)

[The video cuts in to a view of a lush forest, the Gokaiger's huddled together back-to-back, awaiting some kind of threat.]

"Could this be the Galactic Forest's barrier?"

[Before anyone else can speak, a man in ornate garb is thrown through a shattering invisible barrier by someone else. He berates the thrown man while stepping out. Marvelous recognizes and reacts with a growl.]

"Basco!"

[The man's mood seems to brighten, as he greets the still mostly-glowering Gokaigers. It's obviously a front though, at least to everyone but Gai.]

"Huh? Is he a friend of you guys?"

"Nothing like that. To get ahold of the Greatest Treasure in the Universe, he betrayed his comrades. He's nothing but Zangyack-allied scum!"

[Soon enough, a battle ensues, Basco summoning clones of Sentai allies and setting his monkey, Sally loose on them. Gai is ordered away with the man, Hyuuga, who is an ally to Gingaman, the group of Sentai they'd been searching for. The camera seems to follow Gai and Hyuuga's get-away, stopping in a small quarry, where Gai tends to the man's heavy wounds. He explains how he became Gokai Silver, to which Hyuuga responds to, making Gai go...]

"Hyuuga-san...as Gokai Silver?"

[The veteran warrior has offered his services to go in Gai's stead, making Gai debate on whether he should give up his mantle to Hyuuga for the betterment of the planet. But his decision is cut off by Basco returning, and forcibly trying to extract the Gingaman Grand Power from Hyuuga with his strange trumpet. Gai attempts to intervene, but his Gokai Cellular is tossed aside. Marvelous does manage to catch up and stops Basco's attempt before it's too late, but is soon set upon by a Ranger Key clone of Hyuuga's alter ego, Black Knight. Basco taunts Marvelous, telling him to give up, as the other clones arrive after shaking the other Gokaigers. Marvelous responds:]

"Obtaining the Greatest Treasure in the Universe is MY dream. And I'm not giving it up for ANYONE!"

[This inspires Gai, who instantly shoves Hyuuga, who has been creeping over to the dropped henshin device, aside. He explains how he can't let Hyuuga take his dream of protecting the planet himself away, to which Hyuuga accepts, saying that's what he'd been wanting to hear from Gai. As the other Goakiger arrive, they all line up to transform anew, and fight off the clones...]

[Congratulations. Kendrix is just staring for a minute and a half.]

...I know that's not Mike, and it can't be the Magna Defender either...

[sometime after the fight]

[do_it_ecstatically]

"Magna Defender?" You mean "Black Knight", right? And that was Hyuuga. Not Mike.

Re: [sometime after the fight]

[powerofpink]

Similar suits, it looks like. In my world, that warrior is known as the Magna Defender, and the current one is my friend Mike.

Re: [sometime after the fight]

[do_it_ecstatically]

...so, I'm guessing you guys have Gingaman, too, buuuut not called "Gingaman", right?

And in that case, you guys have "Super Sentai", but not really called "Super Sentai"...

Re: [sometime after the fight]

[powerofpink]

I think we are the local versions. All of the teams of us are called Power Rangers, and usually we have a team breakdown name. But my team really doesn't have one yet. We'd probably be called the Space Rangers if it wasn't taken.

[sumofallreds]

[Now more used to people randomly talking when he's not really expecting, he'll merely glance up at the screen.]

Points for paying attention, I suppose. Though I have no idea what you're babbling about.

[powerofpink]

Nothing really. I forgot that different worlds might have similar-looking people. That warrior you fought, Black Knight? Looks the morphed form of my friend Mike, the new Magna Defender.

[sumofallreds]

I think I get the gist of it.

[Even if this thing is starting to tax his brain.]

[powerofpink]

It took me a while to get the hang of it too, to be honest.

[sumofallreds]

Well, as obvious as it seems, it's still good to hear I ain't the only one.

[powerofpink]

Anyone with any level of sanity would be confused for a while.

[sumofallreds]

Some people tend to think I have none. Guess I'm just too reckless sometimes.

[powerofpink]

Oh yeah. I know all about that. I tend to forget about my own safety in battles and things like that.

[sumofallreds]

I don't forget about it. I just know my limits. And they're really high.

Captain Marvelous, by the way.

[powerofpink]

I'm Kendrix. Nice to meet you.

[sumofallreds]

Likewise.

So tell me: are there other look-alikes, or is Black Knight the only one? I have plenty of ways to compare...

[He'll rake through his ranger key chest.]

[powerofpink]

Probably. There's six years' worth of Power Rangers, and we're the latest ones, as far as I know.

[sumofallreds]

I suppose I should feel old: we're (technically) the 35th Super Sentai.

[powerofpink]

35 years? That's an impressive record.

[sumofallreds]

I suppose. It does show how much these humans love their planet.

[powerofpink]

Well, to us, our home is the greatest treasure in the universe.

[sumofallreds]

My crew doesn't have much in the way of home. Besides the Galleon anyway. Zangyack had it's say in that.

[powerofpink]

I'm sorry. But can you see why we're all so dedicated to protecting our home?

[sumofallreds]

I can for the most part. Earth does have it's moments. And foods.

[He's still hoping that curry place hurries up and gets rebuilt.]

[powerofpink]

Our food's pretty good too.

[Face it, Marvelous: You're just as interested in the Greatest Curry in the Universe as the Greatest Treasure.]
