Muffy and Buck were both transported from the spaceport, they were in custody of the handmaidens, what they didn't know was that Buck had a pistol hidden, he knew when he was there he wasn't going to take any prisoners, neither would Muffy even if they had to get their hands dirty and take out anyone they were both willing to accept anything that was going to go down..

It had taken 30 minutes to be transported and processed on Kubăz and they were both thrown in a jail cell literally.

A pale aardvark guard of average height which was a high ranking member of security walked towards them, "I am Dust, I was told by the law enforcement of Terra about Sue Ellen and Fern, and you both have information about their 'apparent' deaths. We want that information, and if you both don't tell I will have to kill you both."

"How will you get the information?"

He opened his hand and blew dust temporarily blinding them both, "I will get the mafia in here they will break your bones if enraged. Cyrax the Mighty would be delighted to see you both as well…" and he paused, "If he were here."

The pale aardvark man had left and a alien who was a few inches taller came in brandishing a strange looking gun, the alien was speaking English for an odd reason, it was known as 'basic' in the universe, he was a scientist, "So the guards couldn't deal with you huh, we have ways of getting the truth out of you, but you both are going to stay here a while."

------------------------------

Back on Earth, some more heresy lords were looking for Sue Ellen and Fern despite the rumors that they thought they were both dead from the crash, a simple kidnapping basically blown out of proportion, Muffy and Buck were arrested for murder even though they don't have a defense team or and form of law on their side to speak for them.

"I will see what I can do..." Mr. Clarkson stated.

"What?" Mrs. Clarkson replied.

"Your family and mine won't be coming for a few more days; there is a meteor shower on the route between D-34 and Earth."

She had a suggestion, "Let's go for a walk..."

Mr. and Mrs. Clarkson were surely to meet the next few heresy lords; they were both outside enjoying a walk when one had approached them.

A heresy lord looked at them both, he was looking pretty seedy, "You both are under the custody of the Heresy."

"And why is that?" Mr. Clarkson asked.

"Three heresy lords scouting this area were brutally murdered down an alleyway, one guy managed to survive but well he is going to swear out revenge on him when he gets out of the hospital. And another one was tortured to death wrapped in a blanket and thrown off a bridge. A war between a bunch of suits and us is going on we are losing members, and suspect you are working with a guy named Tony; you are just caught in the crossfire." Three more heresy lords had come from the shadows, "We will take you to Kubăz and we will have ways to extract information from you both." He snorted, "I am receiving word one Muffy Crosswire who had links to Tyrannous' death is held there for the apparent murders of those two we are after. She is marked for death."

Tony was driving past them, and heard them, "No, we are going to kill her and Buck, they messed with us for the last time, and you guys for many reasons!" He yelled as he shot two heresy lords dead with a machine gun.

One of the heresy lords did a mind trick, "Keep on driving, you guys never seen anything," and they just kept on going.

Tony was cursing up a storm, he wanted these cultists dead more than anything.

The heresy had taken them to their transport and landed on Kubăz, walking down the steel corridor hearing the screams of prisoners being tortured and killed by the guards, they were thrown into the same cell as Muffy and Buck, all the guard said was, "These guys will stay with the bad guys who think they are the good guys."

Back on Earth when Max got home, he had found the note.

Kid, your parents are on Kubăz they are under arrest for the death of our leader Tyrannous the Mighty, don't think about going there or trying to get them out, they will be executed along with Muffy and Buck.

Tears welled up in his eyes, he had ran to the Armstrong house as he was crying, when he got to the house, he knocked on the door, he was sitting on his legs crying and Sue Ellen had answered the door, "H-help me."

"What's wrong?"

He wiped away his tears, "My parents are gone…"

"…Kidnapped." A familiar voice said as he walked from the shadows, it was Moss, Sue Ellen gasped, she thought he died; she looked like she had seen a ghost, "You thought I died?"

"I saw the medic drape a sheet over you."

Moss started to explain, "I faked my own death, I was able to shut everything off, and then bring myself back moments later, but it looks like you've grown up a bit."

The cat girl rolled her eyes, "…Yea…" but her voice quickly turned to anger, "You lied to us! Fern and I quit the order we are not too happy with you despite we are glad you are ok, how could you?"

"Come on Sue Ellen!" Moss explained, "I did it to protect you both, they were going to kill you and Fern if I told them where you both were, so I faked my death in order to throw them off for a while."

"We had to go from planet to planet!" She yelled.

Max yelled "STOP IT!" and further interrupted them both, "But my parents…" he ran inside almost in tears, Mrs. Armstrong was grading some tests, "My parents are gone…"

Mrs. Armstrong now didn't know what to do, to her he seemed so desperate for attention, but at the same time, he was so upset right now she calmed him down, she decided to call the police, Mr. Freeman had come over to talk to Mrs. Armstrong, "Christine, I feel you should take care of him for a while, he seems so calm when you are with him."

Mrs. Armstrong didn't want that, not because of what happened previously, it was because she was taking care of Sue Ellen, her baby brother Gary, and Tenzin. She wasn't able to take care of another kid, "…I can't; I understand his situation, but I can't take care of another kid, I have enough going on, I have a family member in the hospital, and I have other things to take care of," Max lowered his head sadly, but Mrs. Armstrong continued to speak, "But I can find someone who will look after him for the time being, I can let him stay here for a few hours so he can have something to eat."

"My mom and dads side is coming in a few days..." Max stated.

"You need someone to look after you now," Mrs. Armstrong explained, "I can't let you be home by yourself for a few days..."

Max sighed, he knew Mrs. Armstrong was looking out for him.

------------------------------

At Arthur's house, D.W. was waiting impatiently for Max, "Where is he?"

Mrs. Read sighed, "Dora Winifred, you need to understand that he has feelings too."

All of a sudden the phone had rang, Mrs. Read had picked it up, it was Mrs. Armstrong, "Hello? I see, Max won't be able to come tonight," Mrs. Read continued talking and she had hung up the phone, she had gone face to face with D.W. "Max won't be coming to baby-sit you tonight, his parents were kidnapped, and he is really upset."

Mrs. Read left the room, and D.W. sighed, "Rats! I wanted him to take me to the studio, good thing there is one of those major teachers meeting days on Monday."

---------------------------------

Moss had walked to his house with Sue Ellen, "I heard what had happened; I heard that you were being looked after by some faeries. I am going to try and get everyone back…"

"Everyone?" Sue Ellen asked as she somehow knew there was more.

"Buck and Muffy are arrested as well."

Sue Ellen looked nervous, "I know it will make me look bad but Fern and I will pass, we had enough excitement for a few days… besides my mother grounded me…"

Moss' house was a few doors down, he had sighed, "Alanis isn't too happy with me right now."

"The faking of your death thing… She should be thrilled."

They both walked back inside, Mrs. Armstrong summoned the cat girl and she walked towards her, "Sue Ellen, can you please do something with Max like play a board game?"

"…Fine," and she walked inside this really wasn't something she wanted to do with him, they didn't have anything in common.

"Uhm… want to play checkers? Max asked.

"I don't really like checkers."

Max sighed with boredom he just laid flat on his back, "I wish Arthur and George were here..."

"I did call them and they were able to come..." Mrs. Armstrong explained as she hung up the phone.

Within moments they both had come, including D.W., Arthur turned to her, "D.W. no, you aren't coming, she specifically said, myself and George only!"

Mrs. Read took D.W. back to the car as she leered at Max again.

"How's it going?" George asked curiously noting how bored Max was.

"Not good..."

"I know how you feel; Muffy is gone," Arthur commented sadly, "I hate to see her go despite how much of a clothes shopper she is..."

Sue Ellen interrupted the conversation, "Well since you are all here, what are you all afraid of?"

Max looked at her with some sadness in his eyes when Mrs. Armstrong overheard then, "I don't know if that would be a good question especially with the situation Max has on his hands."
