Rodrigo ended up on the retreating ship. He looked around and noticed that he was in a large room with an array of weapons on the walls. He saw that there were very few aliens down here.

The girls aren't going to be on this ship, he thought to himself, They're probably going to be on the main ship.

Rodrigo took off his ring and returned back into his street clothes. He put the ring in his right pocket and walked towards the guards.

"It's one of the Lanterns!" one said.

"He is weak! Let's get him now!" the other said, "then we can take him to the prison section of the mothership."

The two grabbed Rodrigo and cuffed him. They took him to a temporary prison for the ride to the mothership.

"Give us your ring," the alien said.

Rodrigo reached into his left pocket and gave the alien his ring. Rodrigo sat down on the small bench and waited for the ride to be over.

After what seemed like days, the ship flew into a hanger. Inside the hanger was many more ships. There were battleships like the one he was in and there were smaller ships with two seats. Rodrigo knew they were the ships used for scouting.

Two aliens pulled him out of the cell. They walked into a hallway. There were signs in a completely different language. Rodrigo could tell that they were taking him to the prison section. They ended up in front of a large steel gate. One of the aliens opened it and the three of them walked in. They uncuffed him and told him the cell he was in.

"You are in Cell 27," one alien said.

"Don't get killed by your cellmates," the other said laughing.

The two both walked out and locked the door. Rodrigo turned around and saw that the main quad was filled with many people and aliens.

He started to make his way towards his cell. Everyone watched him and whispered. Rodrigo had his head down as he walked through the quad. He ended up bumping into someone.

"Oops," Rodrigo said in a monotone voice, "Sorry about that."

He started to walk around the person or creature but a large arm stopped him from progressing further. Rodrigo looked at the owner of the arm. He saw that the alien had two arms crossed and one on his side.

"Sorry ain't gonna cut it here kid," the alien said.

Rodrigo just looked with awe.

"What?" the alien said, "Never seen an alien with four arms before?"

"I never have till now," Rodrigo said.

"And you won't remember it till tomorrow," the alien said as he threw a punch towards Rodrigo.

Rodrigo jumped out of the way and landed on a table.

"Although you are very well built, your slow and I could tell that you were gonna punch me," Rodrigo said.

"Alright little man," the alien said, "Your gonna get it bad."

The alien ran towards Rodrigo and slammed down on him with his four fists clenched. The table was shattered to pieces. The alien lifted his arms up and looked around the rubble.

"Looks like I killed the little man."

He was suddenly kicked in the head. He was dazed for a second but came back from it. The alien looked to see Rodrigo standing in front of him.

"If it's a fight you want," Rodrigo said, "Then it's a fight you'll get."
