About two months later, Danny walked out into the Falls where she saw Rei sitting by his favorite tree, sleeping. She walked toward him, and when she reached him, she said, "Hi, bro," But then realized he was asleep. "Woops..."
"Hi, Danny," Rei said with his eyes closed still. She sat down across from him. After about a minute, she laid on the ground, and looked up at the sky, yawning. "Tired?" Rei asked.
"A little. I was up reading 'til about 12:30," Danny answered.
As they talked, two troopers holding blasters walked toward them from where they had landed their ship. Rei and Danny saw them, and stood up.
"Princess Danielle, you will come with us. Our Master wishes to see you," One trooper said.
"No, she won't. She's not going anywhere," Rei said. Danny backed away toward Rei.
"She will come with us or be killed," The trooper said. The other trooper shot at Rei, hitting him in the shoulder. Rei cried out in pain.
"Rei!" Danny said. She looked toward the troopers, then at Rei. Both of them knew she didn't have any choice but to go with them.
Rei looked at her, "I'll come for you. I promise. Don't go dying on me, though."
"I won't, I promise," Danny said. The troopers grabbed Danny's arms, and started leading her away. As she was led away, Rei got angry, and took his katana out, and spun around quickly, cutting a tree in half.

Danny was taken to a room where a man wearing a black cape stood.
"Welcome, Princess. I have been expecting you," The man said.
"What do you want with me?" Danny asked.
"For you to turn to the dark side. Think about it, Princess. You'll be the most powerful queen in the universe! And all because you married me and turned to the dark side," The man said.
"Marry you? I'll never turn to the dark side, or marry a scrub like you," Danny said. His eyes lit up, getting angry.
"Take her away!" The man said. She was taken away toward a cell, and the ship soon lifted off and sped away from the planet.

While this was happening, Rei ran toward his cabin as fast as he could to warn Syria and the others.
"Danny's been captured. We have to help her," Rei said when he bursted into the cabin. Syria, Alex, and Dan all looked at him.
"Was it Zool?" Dan asked.
"I think so," Rei answered.
"Then let's go. We don't have much time," Dan said.

A while later, Danny was in her cell, sitting on the bench when the door opened, and in came two troopers, an interrogation droid, and the man who had captured her. Danny swallowed, knowing what was going to happen.
"Now, Princess, we will discuss your turning to the dark side," Zool said. He turned, and looked toward the droid...
