When Ahim's planet is invaded the Gokaigers get involved (are they already on the planet for a reason? It might be a good idea if they are, to pick up supplies or something, so they already know the planet is ruled by a royal family). The Zangyack attack, and in the midst of a fight Marv notices some explosion or something and goes off on a wild goose chase, and Joe ends up all, "I'll go save the royal family then..." and of course tells Luka and Don to go with Marv because Marv is crazy, and Joe can handle things on his own, he is that awesome ;)
So he bursts in on a bunch of Gormins trying to kidnap/kill Ahim (the rest of her family are beyond help now and she's on an adrenline rush just trying to stay alive, no time for grief). She's probably picked up chairs and things and broken them across Gormins backs because I refuse to believe Ahim was ever, EVER completely helpless, even if this is motivated by adrenaline. Joe gets stuck in fighting, and when Ahim runs out of furniture and etc to use as a weapon he shouts out and throws her his gun without thinking. (I DON'T CARE HOW SELF INDULGENT IT IS, THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF THE ENTIRE GOKAIGER FOREPLAY TRADITION).
So Ahim gets all badass with the gun, as we know she comes to do anyway (she must have some natural skill at some things, possibly even self-defence lessons just thanks to being wealthy and able to experience anything and everything she likes? I can't imagine any of the Gokaigers taking her on if she was SUCH a liabilty, she must've proved herself in some way, even if it was just being inventive in a fight XD)
I'm thinking later on she and Joe escape/defeat the Gormins, get out and meet up with the rest of the team and get attacked again, and perhaps Marv is convinced to give Ahim the last Gokaiger key in the heat of the moment (as well as Joe's silent approval that carries a lot of weight).
Ahim considers Joe her knight in shining armour, even though he didn't entirely save her - she helped herself a little ;) (I doubt, being the fighter he is, that he would respect a girl he had to keep saving? I mean, the ego boost of being a hero is nice and all, but not... all the time :x I love the idea of the balance - he helps her even though she can help herself. Between the two of them they can do it!). And then from there I have all the episode four stuff backing me up; Ahim doesn't think Joe is incapable of fighting alone, she's fearful of seeing him get hurt. He's her WHITE KNIGHT, it mustn't happen! As well as her constant, "I will fight with you, we can do it together" which is backed by all my above omg.
BUT MOST OF ALL. THE BIT I SQUEED AT WHEN I REALISED IT WENT SO WELL WITH MY JOE GIVING AHIM THE GUN HEADCANON BIT I CAME UP WITH ALL BY MYSELF. BECAUSE SHE OFFERS JOE HER SWORD TO FIGHT WITH. SYMMETRY AND EVERYTHING. SYMBOLISM. HELLO <3333333333333333333333 ILU GUYS.
