Chapter Text
"Hey Commander what exactly is the Argo anyway?" Kotaro asked.
"Well that's...." Everyone came nearer.
"I don't really know" Shou Ronpo answered.
Everyone stumbled at that answer
"How can we even look for it when we don't even know what it is?!" Garu grabbed the collar of the Commander shaking him around.
"T-t-that's why w-we ha-ave to look for Professor Cerebro!" Shou shouted while trying to make Garu let him go.
"Professor Cerebro? Who is that?" Lucky asked.
" He's famous for his researches about the Constellations. He was also the one who designed the Seiza Blaster so that we could use the power of the Kyutamas." Hammy said but she also looked a little bit confused.
"But no one knows where he lives right now, so how are we supposed to find him?"
"That's quite easy. Naga please use the Pyxis Kyutama."
"Ah that's the one we picked up right?" Balance asked.
Naga activated the Pyxis Kyutama on his Seiza Blaster and a map appears showing something that looked like a planetarium.
"So that must be where the Professor lives right Commander?" Kotaro asked.
"According to the coordination the planetarium is in the Cygnus System on Planet Wodospad*." Raptor said looking at the tablet she's holding.
"Then it's decided. We shall depart for Planet Wodospad right now. " The commander ordered.
"OKyu!"
-----------------------------------------------
A few minutes later the Orion landed on an empty field.
"The house of the professor shouldn't be far from here. "
Everyone started to look for the planetarium but they couldn't find anything.
"That's strange. The coordination are right but there isn't anything around here that would look like a planetarium..."
"Hm?"
Lucky turned his head and started to walk straight into the forest.
"Lucky? Where are you going?" Kotaro asked following him.
"Don't you guys also hear it?"
"Hear what?"
"It sounds like a waterfall!"
Lucky quickly ran ahead with the others trying hard to catch on.
When he finally stopped everyone was exhausted.
"Mo-oh Lucky why did you ran ahead." Hammy asked trying to catch her breath.
But Lucky didn't answer. When everyone looked up to see why he didn't say anything, they got speechless.
In front of them was a large lake surrounded by the forest. A waterfall was on the side which filled the lake with water.
In the middle of the lake you could see the planetarium they were searching for.
"So this is where the professor lives..."Stinger said looking at the planetarium in the middle of the lake.
"Wow! It's really big!" Kotaro commented
"We should find the professor as quickly as possible. So let's go!"
They quickly walked over to the bridge that connected the planetarium with the dry land and arrived at the entrance of it.
"How do we get in there? I don't see a door bell or anything." Garu asked looking around.
The others also started to look around but there wasn't anything like a bell there.
Suddenly Stinger felt something watching them. When he looked up he saw a camera hanging over the door.
"There's is a camera watching us."
"Really?" Lucky also looked up and also saw it.
"Maybe it's the Professor! Hey Professor we need to ask you something! Can you please open the door?"Lucky shouted, waving his arms around.
"Wait, Lucky we don't even know if the Professor really is living here!" Hammy said and tried to shut him up.
"But why not? I mean maybe..."
Before he could finish his sentence the door opened for them.
"See. Now let's go inside!" Lucky went first without looking back at the others.
The others watched him enter the planetarium without even a hint of worry and sighed at his thoughtlessness.
But they soon followed him into the planetarium, the door closing itself behind them.
---------------------------------------
They walked into a room with stairs in the middle of it going up to the big telescope.
"Wow! I've never seen a telescope this big." Kotaro looked around the whole room excitement in his eyes.
"It's truly a beautiful thing. But I wonder where the professor is?"
Right when Raptor said this a door opened. Everyone looked to the door to see a young man around the age of 20 walking towards them.
He had short black hair with white tips. In his hands he was holding a book with a shooting star and a swan on the cover.
"Welcome to this planetarium. May I ask what business the Kyurangers have here?"
The man asked with a flat and quiet voice.
"We are here to speak with Professor Cerebro. There is something we have to ask him personally so would you please tell us where he is right now" Shou Ronpo took the lead and walked over to the young man
"That is not possible." The young man.
"But why?! We have something important to ask him. It's could save the whole universe from Jark Matter!" Garu shouted trying to lung at him but Spada and Champ hold him still."
"Don't Garu! At least let him tell us why we can't speak with the professor!" Spada said trying to calm him down.
"I'm sorry but even if I wanted to you wouldn't be able to speak to him anymore."
"Why?" Lucky saw the sadness in his eyes. Did something happened to the professor?
"Unfortunately the professor died 2 years ago."
"WHAT?!" Everyone was surprised with this information.
"That's why it's better if you leave this place now. I don't know why you wanted to speak to him but now that he isn't here anymore you won't have to stay here any longer."
The young man said, turning his back to them.
"Please wait a moment! At least let us take a look around here. Maybe we can find something about the Argo here!" Lucky said, taking the man by his arm and turned him around to look into his eyes.
"...." The young man didn't say anything at first and continued to look at Lucky but after a few seconds he shook his hand away and went to the door he came from. The Kyurangers silently watched him go, not knowing what they should do now.
"What are you staring at. Do you think the answer you are searching for will automatically appear before you? Come on.I shall bring you to the library. Maybe you will have some luck there."
The man turned back looking at them with his eyebrow raised before continuing his ways to the door.
The others quickly followed him out of the door.
"So... do you live here alone?"Kotaro asked but the man didn't answered instead he continued to lead them to the library.
"He's quite rude don't you think?" Hammy whispered.
"Don't be like this Hammy, after all we are the one who are intruding here." Spada said
"I don't really care. We should just hurry up and find the information we need so that we can go back." Stinger muttered.
He wasn't in the mood for this all. It was supposed to be a simple mission, find the professor and get the answer they needed. But fate had different thought.
'Hopefully it wouldn't take so long.' He thought
-----------------------------------------
"......"
Stinger shouldn't have said that.
The library was HUGE! There were probably over thousand books in here.
"What the?!"
"Wow I never seen so many books in one place!" Everyone was shocked at the amounts of books.
Just how long would they have to search until they found something about the Argo?!
" The professor loved to collect books from many different fields and he was never really the organizing type so... I wish you good luck" And the young man was gone.
"Commander that is impossible! It would take us hundreds no thousands of years until we find something about the Argo! Maybe we should go look somewhere else." Raptor tried to convince the Commander that this was a very bad idea. They don't have time for this.
"I know it seems impossible but this is the best way to find something. So we shall part into 4 groups. Hammy, Spada and Raptor will look around the area in the back. Champ, Stinger and me will look around the area to the right. Balance and Naga to the left and Lucky and Kotaro will start here. We shouldn't lose time so let's start!"
"OKyu..."
Every group started to look around the millions of books that were around them.
Meanwhile the young man watched them all from the security room.
'Why are they even trying. The universe has already lost hope a long time ago.'
2 Years ago
The young man was looking for his father in the forest. It was already past dinner time and his father haven't returned yet.
"Father where are you? It's already late, we should return home now."
"ARGH!!!"
"That voice.. FATHER!"
The young man quickly run to the direction where the voice came from and saw his father injured on the ground.
"Father!" The young man quickly ran over to help him but.
"Hiroto don't care about me and quickly run back home!" The man shouted.
"What are you saying father? You wounds need to be cared for. I can't let you here all alone!"
He suddenly heard someone walking over to them but before he could see who it was...
"Don't disobey and hurry back home!"
Hiroto was shocked. His father has never shouted at him before. He quickly ran back to the forest but instead of returning home he hide himself behind a tree to see what happens.
A person walked over to Hiroto#s father.
"Professor Cerebros you should have agreed to the deal and stayed low. But instead you had to continue your researches and help the Rebellion."
"I don't care what you monsters will do to me. Soon the hope of the universe will return and you guys will be finally defeated!"
"Bad last words Professor. Well, greet the rest of you Rebellions in hell for me!"
That person aimed his gun at the head of the professor and fired.
Hiroto who saw everything that happened couldn't believe it.
His father. The person who raised and loved him his whole life, was killed right in front of his eyes.
"That should teach you a lesson.Getting in the way of Don Armage is unforgivable."
That day Hiroto lost all his hope. His father tried everything he could do to help the universe. In the end his work only brought him his death.
------------------------------
3 hours later
The Kyurangers looked into every book they could find but still nothing about the Argo.
"RAH!!! I give up! We have already searched for 3 hours and still can't find anything that could help us:" Garu threw the book in his hand into a corner.
"What are you saying Garu. We can't give up now. I know that it seems impossible but we have to give our best to save the universe. That is our job as Kyurangers!" Lucky said trying to convince him.
"OH!!! You're right. It's still to early to give up. Yosh I shall give it my all again!" Garu shouted feeling motivated again.
"Garu is really easy to motivate when it's Lucky who does it " Balance commented.
"But I believe it's time for a break. "
"Balance is right. And it's lunch time already. "Spada said looking at the time.
"But we don't have the time to get back to the Orion and return back here!"
Before they could start to argue the door opened again and Hiroto came back holding a tray with sandwiches and teacups on it
"I thought you guys would be hungry so I made something for you. "
"Talk about lucky! You came just at the right time" Lucky shouted trying to take one sandwich but Hiroto dodged him.
"The library isn't a room where you're allowed to eat. I shall lead you to the balcony."
Hiroto left the room with the tray and the others soon followed after him.
They walked through the big house garden to the balcony.
A table and chairs were already there.
"This is my favorite place. It holds many fond memories for me:"
From the balcony you had a gorgeous view on the waterfall and the nature surrounding it.
The Kyurangers were amazed by the beautiful view.
"Aren't you going to sit?" Hiroto asked setting the tray with the food down and looking over to them with a confused look.
Lucky was the first who snapped out of it and sat down, followed by Kotaro and Hammy.
The rest were still a little bit cautious but sat down anyway.
HIroto served everyone one plate with sandwiches and a cup of tea before he sat himself down at the end of the table.
Everyone took a bite.
"That's delicious!" Hammy shouted delightful.
"She's right! You must be a very good cook!" Raptor praised him.
"Not really.My father and I were the only one who lived here, so I had to do all the house chores since he was too incompetent to do them " Hiroto said thinking about the many times where he had to scold his father for his recklessness.
10 Years ago
BOOM!!!! Hiroto heard an explosion from his room and ran over to see what happened.
When he arrived at the place where the explosion happened he saw black smoke coming out of the kitchen.
Hiroto saw his father standing in front of the oven panicking with what looks like a Bunsen burner in his hands.
"Father! Did you try cook again?! Didn't I already tell you to leave the house chores to me. You're always to impatient and try to speed the process with something ! "
Hiroto lectured his father who was kneeling down on the floor.
"I'm really sorry! But I thought that I could at least cook us some breakfast. I didn't know that you aren't allowed to the eggs up with the Bunsen burner!"
His father was ashamed to get scolded by his son again. He was supposed to be the adult here....
"Your father? But the only person who should have lived here was the professor... Could it be you are!" Stinger looked at Hiroto.
"Yes I'm the son of professor Cerebro. You can call me Hiroto."
Everyone was shocked. The professor had a son?! And he was here in front of them all the time!
"Then do you know something about the Argo?" Stinger asked
"I do" Hiroto said while taking a sip from his cup
"Really?!" Maybe now the can finally get the answer they needed.
"But I won't tell you"
"....... WHAT!?" Everyone looked at Hiroto
"But why? We have to find the Argo! It could save the whole universe from Jark Matter so why won't you help us?!" Hammy shouted.
"Why do you have to save it? The universe doesn't have any hope left anyway so why are you even trying?" Hiroto asked.
He doesn't understand why they would sacrifice their live for people they don't even know. In the end they would die anyway just like his father had.
"Isn't it oblivious ! Every person has the right to have a happy life. No matter what will happen as long as there's hope left Jark Matter will never win.!" Lucky said.
Hiroto was shocked at that statement. He has never met someone so optimistic in his life. But before could say anything back an alarm sounded and a screen appeared in front of him.
"That governor has come again..." He stood up and looked at the Kyurangers.
"You guys should hurry up and go! I don't need any more problems with you guys here."
He said and quickly left the room. The Kuyrangers didn't know what to do but Lucky didn't even think about leaving.
---------------------------------
Hiroto quickly went up to the balcony on the entrance and saw a familiar gorvernor standing in front of the bridge followed by an army of Indavers.
"What are you doing here Swanna. I already told you that I will not hand the lake over to you!"
The governor called Swanna, who looked like a mix between a human and a black Swan, looked over to Hiroto.
"I don't care what you say. I shall destroy this ugly building and make a great spa resort on it, which will fund Jark Matter even more.! Today you shall finally disappear!
Indavers attack this ugly thing!"
The Indavers started to shoot at the planetarium but Hiroto activated the shield of it, blocking their attacks.
"Don' t think that this weak thing will protect you forever! Today shall be the day you and that building will be destroyed. Indavers continue to fire!"
The Indavers increased their attacks and the shield slowly started to crack.
'What should I do? The shield is still weak from the last attack, it won't be able to handle anymore.'
Hiroto didn't know what he should do now and closed his eyes in frustration.
'If only father was still here...'
"Hold on!" A voice shouted and the Indavers were attacked.
Hiroto opened his eyes again and saw the Kyuranger there confronting the enemy.
"What?! How dare you interfere!"
Swanna looked over to the Kyurangers. Anger could be seen in her eyes.
"Everyone let's go!" Lucky said putting his Kyutama on his Seiza Blaster
"Yes" The others did the same
Say The Change!
"Star Change!"
"Eye of the Dragon!"
The Kyurangers transformed them self and started to attack Swanna and her army.
Meanwhile Hiroto could only watch them from afar. Confusion and Shock were seen in his eyes.
"What are you guys doing, didn't I tell you to leave?!"
"They wanted to help you." Kotaro said standing next to Hiroto.
"What?"
"I also wanted to help them, but Lucky said that I should stay here and protect you"
"You guys...."
Hiroto didn't know what to say.
'How can they risk their life for someone they just met?!'
"Hmpf! Don't think you guys will be able to stop me from my goal!"
Swanna said creating some wind guts with her wings trying to do some damage to the planetarium but Lucky and the others countered them with their bodies.
"Oh no! Lucky and the others !" Kotaro watched as they continued to stand up after each attack deflecting them as much as they could.
"I don't understand.Why are they shielding the planetarium? They will only damage them self even more ..." Hiroto wondered watching Lucky stand up again.
"Lucky told us that this planetarium is very important to you, that's why we should protect it with everything we have!" Kotaro said turning to Hiroto.
"This planetarium holds many happy memories from your childhood right? It's the place where your hope was born!"
"My Hope...."
14 Years ago
A 6 years old Hiroto was running all around the place looking for his father. He searched all over the place from the garden to the office and even the whole library but he couldn't find him.
His last hope now was the room with the big telescope. He climbed up the stairs and finally saw him sitting there while watching something on the telescope.
"Papa I found you!" The young boy laughed and run over to his father.
The older man turned his chair around to catch his son who jumped into his lap.
"Hahaha you really found me. Good job Hiroto." The man praised his son while patting him on his head. Hiroto leaned into the touch of his father.
Together they watched the stars while trying to find the constellations in them.
"Hiroto right now the world isn't as peaceful as it was before. There will be many times you will be sad or you want to give up but no matter what happens you have to stay strong. I'm sure somewhere in this universe there is the power which will save us all someday, that's why you should never lose your hope. Do you understand Hiroto?"
"Hm..... I don't really understand"Little Hiroto tilled his head trying to understand what his father just told him.
"That's alright, Hiroto is still a child after all I'm sure someday you will understand."
"Okay!"
"That's right.... Even if it looks like I will lose, even if I don't have the strength to continue I should never lose the hope in myself."
Hiroto quickly ran back inside.
"Wait Hiroto-san, where are you going?" Kotaro followed him, but lost him outside of the planetarium and saw the other Kyurangers except Lucky getting thrown onto the ground.
"Everyone!" Kotaro quickly ran up to them and helped them up.
"Kotaro?! What are you doing here. You should been inside looking after Hiroto."
"But...."
Before he could finish they saw Lucky getting stepped on by Swanna.
"Lucky!"
"This is your end now. After your death I shall eliminate your friends and that building up there will finally be gone!"
"I won't let you! That planetarium is Hirotos treasure.I will definitely protect it!" Lucky shouted trying to free himself from Swanna.
"This is the end!" Swanna aimed her spear at Luckys heart.
"Lucky!!!!"
"Now die!"
But when the spear about was to breach his heart a dagger appeared and hit the spear out of her hands.
"What?!" Swanna looked up to the direction from where the dagger came from and saw Hiroto running to them.
Now that Swanna was distracted Lucky was able to kick her of him and free himself.
"You little?!"
"Hiroto?" Lucky quickly ran over to him wondering why he is here.
"Why are you here?! It's dangerous!"
"Thanks to you I finally remember something very important. So I shall also fight alongside you."
"What do you mean?"
Hiroto showed Lucky his left arm with the Seiza Blaster on it.
"A Seiza Blaster?"
"This time I shall protect you and the planetarium myself"
He took a Kyutama out of his pocket and put it on his Seiza Blaster
Hakucho Kyutama
Say The Change!
"Star Change"
A white armor formed around him along with wings on his back.
"The Elegant Star! Hakucho White!"
"Now it's time to test your luck" Hiroto said, taking two daggers out and started to attack Swanna.
"YOU! Do you really think you can beat me!"
Swanna flew up to the sky and shot her feathers at him.
Hiroto dodged them and flew after her.
He attacked her multiple times with his dagger.
The others watched how Hiroto dodged every attack while attacking her from all sides midair.
"He's really strong!" Hammy shouted amazed by Hiroto's skills.
"This is the end for you!"
Hiroto created two shock waves with his daggers, which formed a X and hurled it at Swanna.
"Hakucho Impact!"
"AH!!!!!!!!!!"
She was hit directly and exploded.
Hiroto landed in front of Lucky and the other Kyurangers.
"Are you guys alright?"
"Don't worry this much damage won't stop us, anyway you were really cool up there!"
"Not really. I think you guys were the one who were really cool. To think that you would protect the planetarium with your own bodies. That needs a lot of strength and courage."
Hiroto smiled at him.
"You think so?" Lucky also smiled while blushing. He felt a little bit embarrassed at his praise.
"Hey Lucky now isn't the time to relax! The battle isn't over yet" Hammy shouted.
"BOW YOU HEADS!" Swanna was reborn into a giant and flew up to the galaxy.
"If I can't get the lake, I shall destroy the whole planet with it!"
"As if I would let you!"
Hiroto pushed his Kyutama to the left and summoned the Swan Voyager to fight Swanna in the sky.
"We should also join the battle."
Lucky, Hammy, Stinger, Garu and Spada also summoned their Voyagers.
Say The Docking!
Kyuren-Oh!
"Wow! I didn't knew that they could combine with each other.Then I shall also join you guys!"
The Hakucho Voyager linked himself on the back of Kyuren-Oh and flew after Swanna.
She was trying to create a big laser attack from her hands but the Kyurangers didn't let her.
"Let's finish this quickly!"
"Kyuren-Oh Star Break!"
The six voyagers formed a star which powered up the sword of Kyuren-Oh and attacked Swanna with a big shock wave.
"I-i-t c-c-an--t b-e-be. I l-llost a-g-ag-again!" Swanna shouted and exploded for the last time.
"We will take back the universe. Right Hiroto?" Lucky asked.
Hiroto just sighed, already tired from this whole day.
"Just do what you want"
----------------------------------
"I'm really thankful to all you guys. Thank you for protecting my home. Especially you Lucky." Hiroto said and bowed.
"You don't have to bow. It's the mission of the Kyurangers to help everyone and give them hope."
Lucky said feeling a little bit embarrassed that Hiroto would thank him so much.
'Give them hope...' Hiroto smiled and looked up at Lucky again.
"Then as a thank you I shall give you the information you wanted about the Argo now."
"Is it really alright now?"
"Yes after all you guys showed me that defeating Jark Matter isn't only a dream and there is still hope left for us all. "
Hiroto took out his book that he always carried with him and showed them a picture of a ship.
"This is the Argo Navis. Legends say that the Argo has the power to stop Jark Matter." Hiroto pointed to the three different parts of the ship
"The Argo is formed by the combinations of the Puppis, Vela and Carina constellation. If you are able to find the three Kyutamas of these constellations you should be able to find the Argo Navis. "
"And do you know where we could find these three Kyutamas?" Stinger asked.
They finally had some good information.
"I'm not really sure, but I believe my father once mentioned that the Puppis Kyutama was on a planet called earth."
"Earth?!"
"Maybe that's why Jark Matter has so much control over the earth. "
"Anyway now that you know what to do it's time for us to say goodbye."
Hiroto closed his book and took a step back
"Thank you again for helping me out. I wish you all a good journey and good luck."
Hiroto was about to go when Lucky said.
"Wait! Why don't you come with us!"
Hiroto was surprised at his words.
"What? But I'm not really a savior like you "
"That's not true. We already saw how good you are when you fought Swanna and I'm sure you also know very much about the Constellations just like your father."
"Lucky has a point. It would be a great help if you would join us. Just like that saying says the more the better" The commander said.
"Is it really alright for me to join you?..."
Hiroto wasn't so sure. He has been alone ever since the death of his father. To live with other people again...
He doesn't know if he could handle it.
"Don't worry! Everything will be alright. Believe me Hiroto" Lucky gave him a thumbs up showing him his support.
"That would be real great if you could join us. We could have a welcome party for you and Kotaro together since we couldn't do on earlier for him." Hammy said nodding at her own idea.
"That would be so cool. Hey Hiroto let's have a party together!"
Kotaro was already jumping up and down in excitement.
"And we still have to thank you for the lunch you made us. This time you should try my cooking." Spada commented.
"If everyone is really alright with it then I would like to join you"
Hiroto was convinced. It has been a long time since he had been around other people ,maybe it would be fun...
-----------------------------
After Hiroto packed his things they all returned to the Orion and are now on the way back to earth.
'So this is the Orion Ship, I heard so much about. It's really is a interesting ship.'
Hiroto brought everything in his new room and started to inspect the Orion. He stopped by a large window to look at the stars.
'Even thought I have watched the stars for so many years it's still never boring...'
Lucky saw Hiroto looking at the stars with a smile and couldn't help but smile along.
'He really loves the stars' Lucky thought and approached him.
"Let's go to the control room. Everyone is already waiting."
Hiroto nodded and followed Lucky.
Everyone was there waiting for the them.
"Now let's welcome Kotaro and Hiroto with a toast"
Shou Ronpo lifted his glass and everyone else imitated him.
"To our new members!" He said
"To our new members!"
Everyone took a sip from their own glass and started to eat the delicious food Spada has prepared.
'Father I finally understand what you told me 14 years ago and now I even found myself friends who gave me my hope back. Please continue to watch over me wherever you are right now'
