Karai and I have been traveling through space for I don't know how long. It seems endless. There is nothing to do. You would think that I would have something to do like maybe piloting the ship towards the course of where dusk was kidnapped. But karai and I solved that problem immediately. She told me where it was and I set it to auto pilot. But now that I think about it. Something has been going on lately. Something mysterious. I don't even know where I am. Where I'm going. What dusk is. How she found me. Or how karai came to find dusk. It was time for some answers. I searched the ship for karai. I searched the main quarters, bathrooms, the cafeteria area. Everywhere. She was no where to be found. So i yelled for her. She came out of a little secret hole made in the ship. I said, "listen karai. I need to talk to you." She said, "about what?" I brought her into the main controls room. I looked out the huge front window. Staring into space. All I saw was stars. Millions and millions of stars. Complimented by the emptiness of space that surrounded us. I sighed. Then I finally turned around and said, "karai. Tell me. What is dusk? And how did you find her? I need to know."

She sat down the control chair. She slid her arm down on one of the arm rests. She closed her eyes tightly as if remembering a horrible memory she tried so hard to forget. I stood there. Waiting for an answer. Then she finally said, "dusk. She was and is. Of course. A huge, giant black panther. But her species name is panalomia. The planet her and her species live on is on the far side of Saturn. This planet is called jigoku. It means hell. And when I went there. That is underestimated." I looked at her. Confused. But I could see she wasn't done talking. So I waited. Then she said, "and yes. I did travel there. With the kraang. I went on a mission for my father. He was looking for mutants to destroy you and your brothers." I got angry at just the thought of the mention of them. Brothers. They didn't know the meaning of the word. She continued. "And yes we did capture dusk. And I did torture her. But it was for answers." I was puzzled. Dusk didn't tell me that. "You see, spirit. While we were capturing dusk. Something tried to attack us. Something much bigger than any of us. We all ran too fast for it to catch us. Well, I did. But some kraang bots weren't so lucky." She stood up. And walked around a bit. Then she finally walked up to me and said, " I beat her because I knew there were others. She is not the only one if her kind spirit. There are others. And something. Something on that planet is there. Something that wants her. I think it wants to kill her." I gasped.

Something there. Something that nobody knew about. Wanted to kill dusk! I don't think so. But still how could karai do that to dusk. I know she wanted answers but there were other ways. I couldn't. I just couldn't look at her so I turned around. And I looked at the emptiness of space again. She put her hand on my shoulder and said, "spirit I--" I shook her off immediately. I said, "how could you do that! She didn't even do anything to you! And you tortured her! And your still coming to help me save her? What is wrong with you?! I ran to the secret escape inside the ship that karai ran to for recovery. I Locked myself in there. I hid in there and I thought. Thought about dusk. I hope nothing bad has happened to her. And I wonder why karai is really with me. But as I was deep in thought. The ship started to become full of smoke. Alarms were going off everywhere. And I was trapped inside.
