"SHE WHAT??" A chorus of surprised girls said.
"She disappeared. Kirra's been kidnapped."
"I always knew that girl was trouble. She's almost as bad as Ryoko." Ayeka said shortly.
"HEY!"
"Ryoko, Ayeka, shut up. What did she tell you, Tenchi?" Washu asked.
"She said 'tell Washu to find General Kassago's Ship—its him, the Dark Master.'"
Washu froze. "She said WHAT?"
"Find General Kassago's shi—Washu? Are you alright?" Washu was staring at Tenchi with a scary mixture of fear, awe, and exaltation. Her mouth hung open, and she just sat there for several seconds.
"It all makes sense now…of COURSE she wouldn't have talked about it…Tenchi! We've got to get her back immediately. Don't ask questions, there's not enough time." Tenchi stared at her. "Go, Tenchi! I'll look for the ship, the rest of you get ready to leave." Washu ran to her closet laboratory, slamming the door behind her."
"Washu's right. We must hurry." Tenchi glanced at Ayeka in surprise. "There's no time now, Tenchi! We have to go."
Ryoko watched the scene with about as much comprehension as Tenchi. "What…? Ayeka? Who is this General Kassago? Why is he so important? I know who the Dark Master is, but Kassago? Isn't he Galaxy Police?"
"Precisely."
"Hey!" Mihoshi interrupted. "Wasn't that Kirra's disciplinarian?"
"Yeah," Kiyone said, her eyes widening. "I see. Let's go."
Ayeka looked surprised. "That makes it worse. Damn, I feel sorry for that girl now."
Washu opened her door. "Everyone, come in here. I found it."

No one came to help her. Why was no one helping? What was wrong with them?
A group of students walked by. They glanced over at her, something was whispered, and everyone laughed. Kirra growled angrily.
"Go on, keep screaming. I don't mind, really. And, as you can see, no one else does either. They've all been told I'm your disciplinarian, and to ignore anything you did. And ANYTHING I do." He leered at her unpleasantly.
Kirra sat down on the floor, refusing to move.
"Tired? Well, that's all right. We're here now anyway." He pointed at the nameplate next to the door. General, It read. General Kassago.
~
"Alright everyone. We're ready. You all understand the plan?" Washu asked. Everyone nodded. "Good. Lets go."
They walked into Ryo-Ohki and flew away, for a meeting with one of the most wanted criminals in the galaxy.

She was in his bedroom now, screaming. "LET ME GO!! THIS IS RAPE, DUMBASS! THIS STOPPED BEING FUNNY ABOUT 50 YEARS AGO!!"
"Too bad." It was only a whisper, and she barely heard him, but it was enough to make her stop and look at him.
"What?"
"I said, too bad. It's not your choice, brat. Now get over here before I get really pissed." Kirra tried to stop from walking towards him, but her legs wouldn't obey. "That's right." He patted the bed beside him.
Kirra was only a few feet away from him when he lunged at her. Caught by surprise, she was flung into the bed, pinned down, and had her shirt ripped off before she even thought to fight back. By then it was too late, and she couldn't do much more than scream in horror.
~
Ouch. Kirra thought. What had happened again? As her memory caught up with her body, she reeled in fear, and threw up. It had been years since she had first met General Kassago, but it seemed like yesterday. Fear. That was the one thing she remembered clearly. Hate. Evil.
This room was almost exactly like the interrogation room at Galaxy HQ that she had seen so often. There was a glass window at one end, which looked into another room, currently empty. That was the observation room.
The rest of the room was empty, nothing covered the metal walls. Kirra was chained to a pole in the center of the room, completely naked. Exactly like HQ.
Kirra had always suspected the observation room was there for the perverts, although her officers had insisted it was to see if the prisoner was lying or going to attack anything. Why naked? Well, they might have weapons. Yeah right. Perverted bastards.
Last time she had been in that room was when she had been accused of killing Jon Hisled. She, of course, had nothing to do with it, but she was accused of everything. Probably just a sick excuse for the guys to stare at her. After all, the observation room was open to everyone, and it was usually full.
That was what had told her this was not HQ. The room was devoid of occupants, a rarely heard of thing there. It was an imitation, made by a man who knew that room well.
Kirra growled angrily. Damn him. She shouldn't have fainted. It wasn't like her, she was much stronger. She should have been able to get away. Damn him.
She spat as he, the Dark Master, General Kassago, entered the room. He smiled at her, and she noticed that he wasn't wearing his on his head. His face would have been very handsome, had it not been so frighteningly evil. He had dark blue hair that ran down his back in a braid to lay on the floor, and pale yellow eyes. There was a scar running down one of his cheeks, and he held a whip coiled up in one of his hands.
"That wasn't very polite."
"It wasn't supposed to be." She glared at him hatefully. He walked over to where she was tied up, and stroked her cheek. Kirra growled and tried to kick her feet out of the chains.
"Still the same girl now as you were then. Remember that, Kirra?"
"Dammit, I don't WANT to remember, you bastard. I don't want to remember you either."
"Well, that's pretty good, because you won't remember anything else either, shortly. In fact, you wont even be living."
"Well, why don't you just kill me now? Make it easier on everyone."
"Because, my dear" -Kirra winced at the name-" I need that boy of yours, and his friends also."
"What? WHY?"
"You told them where to find me, and who I was. So, now I need to capture them. They will come. In the mean time, don't you want to know how I found you?"
"Can I stop you from telling me?"
"Probably not. Well, it was pretty simple. We saw your body fall out of the ship and have been tracking you ever since. You're pretty lucky, you know that?"
"Sure, whatever. If you call being raped, falling out of a ship, and being killed twice lucky, yeah, I guess I am. Now go away."
"I have to wait until your friends come, I've told you."
"Damn."
