Title: Passing the Torch: HurricaneRed
Fandom: Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger/Ninpuu Sentai Hurricaneger
Characters: Shiina Yousuke, Nono Nanami, Bitou Kouta
Rating: G
Summary: Those pirates did ended up impressing them. Based on episode 25 - 26.
A/N: Since I'm not familiar with Hurricaneger, apologies in advance for any inconsistencies. Basing everything solely on the two episodes and how they reacted to the Gokai-tachi. Considering in this episode we had the trio actively interacted with the Gokaigers, I'll see what else I can put in.
A/N2: If anyone rereading this, do tell if the edits are good.

------------------

He did not have much faith on the pirates to be of any worth, but that other girl... the pink one, was in a league of her own. There was a kind of strength in her... that somehow moved him. If he should put it into words, it might be like a strength you might have expected coming from a feudal lord. She even seemed to be able to lead her fellow remaining comrades in the absence of their leader as well as their fellow two Gokaigers.

Well, considering she was a princess in her own planet... that was probably expected of her. It did took him by surprise when she had allowed them to use their Ranger keys without argument—unlike that young one—and how calmly she had stated that they would use force to reclaim the Hurricaneger keys back. Considering that the Gokaigers still needed their approval in order to be able to use the Hurricaneger's Grand Power, it was surprising to receive this kind of response. As if she had so much faith that he, Nanami and Kouta would definitely be changing our opinions abut her other comrades.

Somehow, she reminded him a bit like Nanami when they used to be younger. Well... not that much but guess that would do. Ahim seemed to be someone he could easily trust as well.

Regardless, the pink princess and that curly-haired shorty were a sneaky bunch. He never thought he would even be changing his thoughts about them at all! As they had wanted, he—Nanami and Kouta too—did ended up observing their other comrades closely and able to get to know of the other Gokaigers even better. So despite some of their attitudes were not to his liking, he could not deny that they were not bad and somehow been able to trust them with their Hurricaneger's powers. At least, they were not like those Zangyacks who seemed to have also gained allies with some of the past sentai's enemies.

It really did seemed that their powers were in good hands...

“Heii, what are you thinking now... Yousuke?” Nanami suddenly interrupted him as they watched the Gokai Galleon disappeared into the horizon. He shrugged.

“It's nothing. Just pondering about our fellow juniors over on that ship. They are something... aren't they?”

Kouta laughed.

“They are adorable kids, that's for sure. That aside, it's been a while... eh? Since we had been able to transform and fight?”

Nanami chuckled as Yousuke sighed.

“Well, the rest of the battles up ahead would be up to those guys now. Hopefully, they would be able to continue fighting those Zangyacks until the end. Though, it would still be a long time for them to be proper ninjas like us.”

Nanami laughed before nodding her head. By now, the three of them could not see any hint of the flying ship anymore. “Haha, don't push them so hard... Yousuke. I'm sure they'll manage it, we did it ourselves after all."

Kouta shrugged. "Back then even we wouldn't have thought that we'll end up being Hurricanegers, right? But we did do that well."

Nanami nodded. "Hope they would continue to fare well, gathering all other of the remaining grand powers and ranger keys. I won't like it if those Zangyacks could not be stopped. That aside...” Nanami started to grin at Yousuke as he flinched.

"Don't you think Marvelous was a bit similar to someone we know?"

Yousuke stared back at her. "What d'you mean... Nanami? Like Ikkou?" He sighed suddenly. "Come to think, too bad those two siblings weren't around, eh?"

Kouta laughed as he slapped Yousuke's head lightly. "Don't change the topic! Haven't you noticed it?"

Yousuke rolled his eyes at them. "If you're talking about me, you guys must be joking! I'm not any similar to that Marvelous kid at all! Even back during those days!"

Nanami nodded at him. "Oh really? Then what about that? 'Legendary Inheritor', that favourite phrase you loved to say so much. Really... you haven't been thinking of something when you called Marvelous-tachi with that name?"

Yousuke shrugged her off as if she had just said nothing of importance. "It's nothing. Shouldn't they be receiving that title as well? After all, they are going to inherit the powers and will of every warrior like us who used to protect this world before! What better title to give them than that?"

Nanami and Kouta snickered. "I guess so..." said Nanami as Yousuke suddenly started checking for the time.

"Ah! I better go now. Nanami, Kouta... shouldn't you guys get back to your own job as well? I'll give a call to Oboro-san and Director later to tell them about this."

"Till later then..." said Kouta as the three parted ways.
