Night time on the ship could be considered one of the mose peaceful times the girls ever have. The past week had been a nightmare, and they knew that it was just going to get worse once they reached the planet. Ami, Rei, and Makoto were all in a single small room together and they had to keep close to each other just to keep warm. With a soft sight, Makoto was the first to speak for the night.
"How could we fall so easily to those creatures? How could we lose?"
"It's a battle that has been going through all our minds, Mako-Chan," Ami stated. "And without Mamoru-San, Luna, or Artemis here.." She stopped and sighed softly, staring at the floor helplessly. "We're on our own."
Rei looked to the other two, her eyes worried as she looked between them. "Did either of you find out what happened to Usagi, Minako-Chan, or ChibiUsa-Chan?"
Makoto nodded in answer to her question. "I found out today. Minako-Chan and ChibiUsa-Chan are slaves to Lirek, the leader in this raid. Usagi-Chan is in a cell on the lower decks. Apparently she's being saved for their general."
Rei thought about this for a moment before she stood up, looking down to the two of them. Her red skirt was tattered all around the edges of it, her body completely covered with dirt and other filth. Makoto's and Ami's bodies and skirts were in the same condition. They all felt as though they haven't bathed in a week. Which was true. "Well. Enough of this sitting around here. We're going to have to find our own way out of this. It isn't the first time we've been on our own. Remember Queen Beryl, the Black Moon, the Deathbusters? We've gotten out of worse fixes before, and we never let helplessness factor into any of it."
The other two stared at her for a moment before nodding. They both stood and then opened the door to their small room. Ami looked around, seeing that there was no one in sight and they snuck out of the room. They kept close together, starting to make their way down the hall. They had to find their friends. They knew they were still alive and they weren't going to give up on them.

"You really got it that time, Minako-Chan." ChibiUsa stated as she was cleaning the thin strips of blood that lined Minako's back. Minako could only sigh as she layed there, waiting for her to finish cleaning them.
"I'm not giving into that jerk, ChibiUsa-Chan. There's no way. We're still Sailor Senshi, there's no way we can give in. Not ever." As ChibiUsa heard those words she couldn't do anything other than sigh.
"It's too bad I lost Luna-P back on Earth. I'm sure she could help us get out of here." Minako nodded in agreement with her and winced as ChibiUsa hit another tender spot.
Lirek stood in his bathroom, getting ready to meet his general. The alien looked almost human, except for some suttle differences. They were a bit more wider than the average human, their skin was a scaley grey color, and they had no hair. More or less his species looked like an over sized lizard on their hind legs, and without a muzzle. He thought back about Minako, remembering what he did. As soon as ChibiUsa left the room and he sealed his door shut, he simply chained her to the wall and whipped her until her back was covered in the thin marks. He then did the same to her front, covering her stomach and her breasts. She would heal, he knew that. He didn't want to do anything more than that right now. At least not until he was in the comfort of his own room in the general's castle on their planet. He slipped on the last of his armor before putting his helmet on. He then grabbed a pair of leashes before walking into the room where ChibiUsa and Minako were. He just stood there and watched them with amusement before a sound came to his door. He turned to it curiously, wondering who it was.
"Enter!" He yelled. The door slid open to reveal one of the lower ranked officers. "Sir! The three slaves escaped last night and we can't seem to track them down." Lirek growled and threw the leashes down to the floor. Minako and ChibiUsa watched them with great interest.
"Damn it!" Lirek yelled. "What are you waiting for?! Find them! Check the lower decks where their other friend is being held! Once you find the bitches, bring them to me!" The officer bowed and ran off immediately to gather up some men to begin the search. He then calmed himself and looked back to his two slaves with a small smile on his face. He walked over to the table where Minako was laying and he helped her to sit up on it. He looked down at them and began to run his fingers through their hair, the one on ChibiUsa actually playing with a meatball once more.
"Ah, my two darlings. I know you'll never run. I believe you know better than that by now, am I correct?" The two just stared at him with no answer.
"How could we fall so easily to those creatures? How could we lose?"
