Billions upon billions of stars breezed past as the great red ship, the Gokai Galleon, cut her way through the sea of the stars. Each star within each galaxy meant an opportunity for the young crew within her hull, opportunity for new adventure, new treasure, and new allies. While each may have their own goal, they remain united in their fight against the remains of the Space Empire Zangyack. That day, they sailed with no destination, going wherever the solar winds took them, until a rumour should take their fancy.
At the helm of the Galleon sat Captain Marvelous, with a mechanical parrot, Navi, sitting to his side, snoring on her perch. Behind them, they could barely hear the clinking of tea cups and Ahim’s questions beneath Gai’s constant enthusiasm as he detailed his scrapbook for the various people and heroes they had met. Even this chatter had fallen into the typical noisy atmosphere of the Galleon. However, even this relative peace never lasted long for the Gokaigers.
Navi’s eyes shot open.
“Mail! Mail! We’ve got mail!” she leapt from her perch and started flying all over the room, shouting as she went. Captain Marvelous tracked her with his eyes before jumping up to catch her out of the air, as the rest of the crew crowding around, Luka and Joe coming down from the upper deck, and Don from the kitchen.
“Alright, Navi, enough flapping around,” Captain Marvelous said, “Tell us what it’s about.”
“Ahem, I was getting to that.” She pulled herself upright and proceeded to spit up two boxes. “There you go! One’s addressed to Luka, and one’s for Ahim.”
“What?” Luka said, picking up the boxes and handing one to Ahim. “Why just us if they’re going to bother sending something?” Luka tore the paper from her package, and casually flipped open the pamphlet within.
“It sounds like a scam,” she said, ready to throw the invitation away.
“It can’t be that fake looking if you’re considering it,” Captain Marvelous took it and inspected it for himself.
“Well,” Ahim finally spoke up, “I think it sounds like fun; it’s very interesting to see the festivities that the common people hold for these phenomena, and I wonder what sort of energy source these Power Stars could be.”
Luka snatched her invitation back from Captain Marvelous.
“In that case, I guess there’s no harm in checking it out at least. If it’s really a trap, then we can just fight our way back to the Galleon.”
Just as they made their agreement, a loud beeping came from the computer’s radar screen. Don activated the view screen, showing the large, mushroom-cap shaped spacecraft that had snuck up on them. At the very least, it didn’t seem to be hostile.
“Ah, look, they even sent us an escort, how considerate of them,” Ahim jogged off towards the ship’s hatch.
“Wait, Ahim!” Luka chased after her, making sure to grab their weapons on her way, “what about the Galleon?”
Ahim climbed easily in to the cabin of the Mushroom-Ship, and Luka jumped in after her. As soon as they were both safely aboard, the Mushroom-Ship began sailing off. The remaining Gokaiger watched it go for a brief moment, just staring at the spectacle.
“Sh-should we go after it?” Don looked over his shoulder at Captain Marvelous, who had retaken his seat at the helm.
“Follow them.”
For Ahim and Luka, their journey was smooth and uneventful. Ahim casually hopped out of the Mushroom-Ship, dragging Luka behind her. Each girl had a saber and gun at her hips. Luka took the opportunity to breathe deep of the fresh air.
“Well, it’s a real place at least,” she stretched her arms and rolled her shoulders. “Maybe this whole thing wasn’t bunk after all.”
“We will surely bring souvenirs back for everyone,” Ahim watched as a group of Mushroom-Headed people walked around. “It’s such a shame that they couldn’t come along.”
Luka didn’t say out loud that the others could have come with if Ahim hadn’t rushed away like she had.

"You have been formally invited to attend the Mushroom Kingdom's one hundredth star festival! This is a special event, which is held only once every hundred years, which we celebrate the great comet, which grants those who live in our humble kingdom life by providing us with our grand power stars! We do hope that you can attend!"
