The Pirate Trap Part 2

Gai removed the blindfold from Don's head. It took a few seconds for his eyes to adjust to the sudden brightness. Once he could see clearly, Don was never happier to be around friends.
"Gai!" Don said happily. "You're alright." He then looked around for the others. "Where is everyone else?"
"We still have to save them." Gai answered as he started loosening the straps around Don's wrists. 
Don then looked over to Marvelous who was on his knees facing him, his arms dangling at his sides. Once Gai had freed Don's feet, the green pirate rose from the chair and walked over to the captain. "Marvelous-san." Don began and then saw the condition of the captain's hands. His eyes widen at the sight. "What happened?"
"Let's just say...that your captor...has been keeping me...busy." The out of breath captain answered. Aside from his fatigue, Marvelous was also feeling embarrassed. His little stunt not only caused his hand more pain but it nearly got Don killed. He would have apologized for his recklessness, but Marvelous as you know is too proud to admit that he had made a mistake, so he kept quiet as he tried to steady his breathing.
Don started searching his pockets for something. Once he found it, he took it out and revealed he had been carrying an on the go first aid kit. Don started carrying the kit around as one would never know when something like it would come in handy. And considering the Gokaiger's lifestyle, doing something like that was very smart thinking on Don's part. The green pirate started by cleaning Marvelous' wounds with a cotton swab damp with alcohol. Then he covered the captain's injuries with gauze and wrapped up his hands with some white tape.
Then the voice of the Quest Master came in from overhead. He was very annoyed. "I could have sworn I told my men to check your pockets thoroughly."
"What, are you going to penalize us for this too?" Gai asked talking to the ceiling.
"No, no, this was all the doing of my men's incompetence. Combined with your own dumb luck of course." The Quest Master said.
"Luck has nothing to do with it." Marvelous answered back.
"That stunt you tried to pull nearly cost you Captain. If it wasn't for GokaiSilver's above average leaping ability, you wouldn't be getting medical attention right now, would you?" The Quest Master said matter of fact.
Marvelous gritted his teeth and lowered his head. Needless to say, the red pirate hated the Quest Master's guts for various reasons but couldn't argue with what he said. Lives were on the line and Marvelous acted far too reckless this time. He now has three more lives to save and from here on out there is no more room for error. 
A sound then came from above them. Looking up, the three pirates saw a large metal circle was lowering to the floor. The three stepped back to the furthest part of the maze's center to avoid being crushed. As the circle came closer to the floor, the pirates could see that it's metal mesh was very big and that parts of the top of the structure was lifting up forming a spiral. When the circle touched ground, the pirates could see that it was a staircase to lead them to one of their friends. Marvelous, Don and Gai climbed the stairs. Higher and higher they climbed the stairs until they came to a doorway.
When they passed through the doorway, the three pirates found themselves standing on a thick metal platform that went out five feet and went across the entire perimeter of the room. The room was an even square, measuring forty feet all around. The platform the three pirates were standing on was twenty feet above the floor that was made up of 5' by 5' metal squares. In front of them was a jumble of chains, dangling from the ceiling. Looking past the chains the three could see something dangling in the center of the room. It was Luka. Her hands and wrists were tied over her head by a rope and she was kicking her legs wildly.
Once he had recognized her, Don called out to the yellow pirate. "Luka!"
Luka stopped kicking when she heard her name. It took her a moment but she recognized the voice. "Doc?" She called out with hope in her voice.
"Not just Don-san!" Gai called out to her.
"Gai!" Luka called back now with a smile on her face. "Is it just you two?"
"No, there's one more with them." Marvelous responded.
Relief came over Luka as she now waited anxiously to be rescued by her friends. Then there was the sound of turbines turning on. The floor underneath them was now surging with electricity. If that wasn't bad enough, something else turned on that sounded like a blender. Luka looked below her feet and saw a large pit with three rotating blades directly below her. Then the Quest Master chimed in.
"Do you boys feel like a smoothie?" He asked the trio with sinister glee. "I feel like a smoothie with a hint of pirate." Then from above Luka, a small flame ignited and was now burning the rope. The Quest Master continued to explain the challenge. "Above the three of you is another rope. Use the chains to climb to the rope and swing across to your lookout. That's if you can reach her before the fire burns through the rope holding her up."
"Hold on Luka-san! I'm coming!" Gai yelled out as he dove for the nearest chain. He was able to grab hold of the chain but when he did, the chain immediately dropped down. Gai jumped off the chain almost as soon as it dropped, turning back and grabbing hold of the edge of the platform. Don helped Gai pull himself up. Once Gai was safely back on the platform, he looked down and saw the chain sparking on the electric floor and dancing like an out of control fire hose.
"Well surprise, surprise." Marvelous said in a sarcastic tone. "You forgot to tell us something extra about this challenge. Again!"
"It's a bad habit." The Quest Master said trying to sound cute.
"What's going on?" Luka asked with a small ounce of fear in her voice.
"Don't worry Luka." Marvelous called out. "We won't let you fall!"
"Can you do this Marvelous?" Don asked.
"I'll be fine." The captain said reassuringly.
"Will you?" Gai asked staring down Marvelous searching for the truth.
Marvelous tried to sound and look like everything was fine with him but it wasn't. His arms were still burning from pulling himself across that man made current on a raft and his hands were still stinging from the glass wounds. Marvelous had no idea how long he would last on those chains. If he tries, he will become one more person Gai and Don would have to try to save. Swallowing his pride, Marvelous chose to hang back and hope for the best for Gai and Don.
Gai and Don looked at each other and nodded. Don stayed on where the doorway was as Gai ran to the other side of the platform. The two pirates then jumped for the chains and began their attempt for the rope. There were a few chains that didn't do anything so they were able to climb them only to find that the rope was too far out of their reach. Most of the other chains were faulty. There were the ones that dropped down like the first chain. Others of course, did different actions. Some of the chains withdrew into the ceiling and others sent the two pirates sailing across the other side of the room. On the times they passed by Luka, Gai and Don could see that there was a clearing around Luka about fifteen feet wide all around her so trying to get to her without the rope was impossible. So Don and Gai continued their efforts, jumping from chain to chain taking their chances with what they were grabbing onto. All the while the small flame was burning through the rope holding Luka up, strand by strand. Marvelous was also moving around the platform pointing out the steady chains they had used before.
Eventually both Don and Gai were getting close enough to the rope. Don was almost to the rope when the chain he was on suddenly shot up to the ceiling. The green pirate didn't react fast enough and his index finger got jammed as his hand hit the ceiling. Don plummeted to the floor failing to grab any of the chains. Gai could only look on helplessly as Don fell. Before Don passed the platform, he suddenly stopped. Marvelous had jumped from the platform, grabbed Don by his right foot with one hand and grabbed a steady chain with the other. Under normal circumstances, holding someone up would be child's play for Marvelous, but with the stinging sensation in his body causing his arms to go numb, it was taking Marvelous everything he could muster not to drop Don. Don, upon seeing the strain on Marvelous' face, started rocking himself back and forth, causing the two pirates to swing. Once they had enough momentum going Marvelous let go of the chain and the two pirates landed back on the platform.
