Rai slowly opened his eyes again. The ship was hovering a few miles from a strange planet, that was giving off a green glow. As Rai looked around, he saw that everyone else was unconscious. As he slowly stood, he realized that he wasn't tied up. But then, who would do that? Everyone was lying around him. He slowly walked around the bodies, looking to see if anyone had been lost. He found Donald, but where was Goofy?
"Looking for something, boy?"
Rai swirled around, coming face-to-face with Greedy.
"Because if you're looking for that dog friend of yours, I'm afraid he's been lost." said Greedy. Greedy had a sad expression, as if he knew the pain that Rai was going through at those words. It was a face that didn't suit him very well..
"L-lost? How? I thought that you ... secured all the lifelines." said Rai. He didn't know why he was even talking to this pirate, he wasn't going to be that fast to trust him.
"He ... well he ...." started Greedy. He had seen what Scroop had done, but he didn't feel like letting that truth out at the moment. "Well ... some of the lifelines are a bit old ...." That wasn't a bad lie, he thought to himself.
Rai sunk to the floor, covering his face. He didn't want Greedy to see him crying, but he couldn't hold it in either.
"Hey, kid. If it's any consolation... I know how you feel. You see, I lost a friend like that too. We were real buddies." said Greedy, resisting the temptation to put his suction cup hand on Rai's back. "Why am I comforting this kid?" he thought to himself.
This confession didn't seem to have any effect. Greedy slunk slowly away, going to wake his fellow pirates. Then Rai looked up at the retreating figure. "I guess not everyone is really who they let on to be." he thought. "Even pirates have feelings."
Rai then got up, and shook Donald awake. "Donald ... Goofy, um ... was lost in the star storm." said Rai.
"He what!?"
"Well, his rope must have snapped ... and he fell into the black hole."
Donald looked like he was about to break down, but then his face went straight again. "Okay." he said.
"Okay...?"
"Yes, okay."
"But Donald, he's dead."
"I know." said Donald. Then Donald got up and started to walk away.
"Has he snapped? Or is there something he's not telling me?" said Rai to himself. Then he got a start as someone suddenly shouted.
"Scroop! Greeedy! Evereeone! Wee are here! Wee are at Treesure Planeet!!!" cried Onus excitedly.
Rai looked out at the green planet. All the pirates were now at the ship side, staring out at it as well. Even Greedy had completely forgotten about his small conversation with Rai, as the green light reflected from his yellow eyes.
"Okay, everyone! Here's the deal: I will go to the planet surface with the prisoners, Onus, Greedy, and Myes, and you two." said Scroop, pointing at a group of pirates to his right. That left only Hands, Magrino, and two other pirates on the ship. "The rest of you will stay here and guard the ship." ordered Scroop.
As the ones specified boarded a small craft to take them down to the planet, Rai started to think of a plan to escape. But he couldn't keep his mind off of Goofy either. He didn't notice the evil glare and smile that Scroop gave him as they boarded, otherwise he would have immediately known what had happened. "Wee are goeeng to be reech! Yahoo!!!!" cheered Onus as the ship headed down towards Treasure Planet, and a unknown future.
