Asher / Tristian Rimulus' POV

The instructions were for us to all land where the cruise ship crash-landed. I thought that was strange at first, but as we approached the landing spot, I began to understand.

Once the ship landed, we departed and was greeted by Hamon and several other people.

"Prince Tristian, the supplies for you and your crew are ready to be loaded onto each ship."

"Thanks, Hamon. The king also mentioned we would find out something when we arrive in Brisothea. Any idea what it is?"

"There are two parts. The first thing is that we have officially taken over the bad side of Brisothea. The tunnels have been cleared out of the riffraff. It has since been destroyed. The ruler of our planet has authorized the restoration of the planet. The king of Paerus offered assistance in the restoration. And Brisothea will no longer be uncharted. It will be placed on the map with a ceremony from the king. We will return to being a vibrant, resourceful planet for all to see."

"That's amazing news. Once the rescue is over, I want to help with the restoration."

"The second part is our Ruler has authorized me and my crew to assist in the rescue. Me and the over 100 that volunteered know the risk. We are at your service. Our ships are fully loaded and ready to rock and roll."

"The more we have, the merrier. Thanks, Hamon. I could really use your assistance aboard my ship. It's the largest in our fleet. How much longer until the ships are loaded?"

"Just a few more hours and everything will be loaded. We have medical supplies, food supplies, and weaponry. It would be best to put several of my Brisothean crew members on each ship to show everyone how to use the weapons. The food and medical supplies are the same as Paerus."

"That's an excellent idea. Let's do this."

*********************************

During those several hours, I contacted my parents, Koko, and Florian. Dalis had the biggest smile on her face while I talked, and she babbled. My little princess is going to start talking soon. I can feel it.

I heard a knock on my door.

"Enter." It was Hamon and Divis.

"Tristian, the supplies have been loaded. The fleet is awaiting your instructions. Hamon's crew has been divided onto our ships."

The three of us then exited my room and walked over to the bridge.

"Okay. Listen, everyone from here on out, this will be a very dangerous mission. We all, including myself know the risks. I am only going to say this once - the Brisotheans are our allies. You are to assist them with whatever they need. And give them the proper respect they deserve. If anyone disobeys my order, you will be dealt with. I do not only speak for me and Dalis, but for the king, queen, Koko, Florian, Brooke, Simone, Chanelle, Max, and Drake, we all appreciate everyone's support and sacrifice. Let's get this fleet on the way to get my queen!"

After a tremendously, loud applause, my pilots took off for Duamia.

Brooke / Talise Jaleh's POV

I have been wearing the same, old sad clothes since the day I was kidnapped. And, pretty soon, I won't be able to fit them. I hope this baby I am carrying will be okay. Oh gosh, I hope the baby is not born on this awful planet. I know Asher and my family are looking for me.

I miss Dalis so much. Hopefully, the new baby will be a boy. This room is not safe for a pregnant woman. The bathroom is just as bad.

I heard someone opening the door. In came an alien guard. Ewww. I may not have morning sickness anymore, but just the sight of these aliens make me nauseous.

He plopped a bag on the bed. I'm surprised they even speak human. "Here are some human clothes for your stay, peasant!! Why would Krohals want a human for his bride when he could have his choice of women from Duamia?!"

"I didn't ask to be kidnapped!! Where I come from, I am royalty!! My fiancé will find me!!! I'm not marrying Krohals!!!" Now, get your ugly self out of this room. I want to know the same thing. In the bag were not only a few outfits but bathroom essentials. At least he knows I need human things.

The alien was about to put his icky, gross fingers around my neck until he was picked up and tossed away.

"DO NOT TOUCH HER!! NO ONE QUESTIONS KROHALS!!! Nobody EVER questions my reasoning or authority!!"

That loud, shrilly voice just gave me a headache.

The alien guy was able to pick himself up and immediately departed from the room.

"Enjoying your accommodations, my future queen?" Eww, he put his slimy, long fingers on my cheeks.

"I'm never going to be your future anything. My future king is going to rescue me before that happens. Count on it. Why do you want me anyway?!"

"Wouldn't you like to know? Your precious, Prince Tristian has no idea where you are, my sweet. It's highly unlikely that your precious Prince will be here by the time you are my queen. So, like I said you will be mine forever. And, that dang baby of yours will be a slave. You have any idea what I went through to rearrange this place for a stinking human?!"

"Again, you didn't have to take me! Your rearrangement sucks!!" I was about to smack his gross face, then he put his hands around my neck, and lifted me off the ground.

"You, puny weak human!! You will learn to love it here on Duamia. One week from today you will officially be mine." He plopped me down on the bed and walked out of the room with that horrible, maniacal laughter.

I don't care what he says, Tristi is coming to get me.

Asher / Tristian Rimulus' POV

"Prince Tristian, we have reached our first point towards reaching Duamia. This planet is named Tradus 4N. Per computer logs, this planet's surface is loaded with poisonous gases and uninhabitable. No one lives on it."

"How much further until the next point, Arael?"

"We will need to use at least warp speed 5 to reach it in a week."

"Let's get the heck away from here. Pass it on to the other ships."

**************

Brooke / Talise Jaleh's POV

Today is the worst day of my life - a wedding ceremony to the most disgusting being ever known.

"Here is your wedding dress. Make sure she is ready and at the ceremony in one hour or else!!"

The creep just left my room. "Tristi, where are you? I miss you and Dalis. I don't want to do this. You're the only one I want to marry."

They had to force me to put the dress on, which is black.

"Get moving, now!!!!"

"Stop pushing me!! I'm pregnant!!!"

I was then escorted out of the room. We walked down several hallways until we entered a throne room. I seriously want to puke.

I had to walk down an aisle to this horrible, creepy alien. I wish I could delay this ceremony some way.

I couldn't understand anything they were saying during the ceremony, but I did think of a way to delay this dang wedding. I just fainted. I could hear every alien around me in shock.

"Carry her back to her room now!!!"

Yes! No ceremony for now. Tristi, please hurry.

Monday, July 6th, The Year 2220

Asher / Tristian Rimulus' POV

I have not eaten much since we left Paerus. So, Chanelle and Simone dragged me to the break room, and are staring at me while I eat something.

"Chanelle and Simone, you don't have to stare. See, I'm almost finished."

"Yes, we do. Asher, this is the second or third time since we left Paerus that you have eaten. Listen, we know and also understand how much you miss Dalis and Brooke. We do too. That's why we all joined you on this mission to get her back. You need your strength to win this battle. We all do. Asher, you're our leader. Everyone on each of the ships in this fleet needs you. We all need your strength and guidance to help see us through."

"I'm sorry. Knowing that Brooke is expecting our second child and stuck on that awful planet is scary. And, what if they are doing crazy experiments on her? I'm losing my mind. What if something happens to our son or daughter?"

"Asher, think about this - what has this Krohals character done for Brooke while we were at that house? Well, besides creeping us out."

"He made sure Brooke had food, clothing, and shelter. Even when Brooke was pregnant with Dalis, he even had maternity clothes for her. I am hopeful he is not having crazy experiments done on her. Whatever reason he wants with her, you can be sure no alien will put his hands on her."

"That calmed me some, but not enough."

"Excuse me, Tristian, but we are about to jump out of warp speed to the next location."

"Thanks, Divis." The four of us ran to the bridge and made it just as we came out of warp. What we saw was shocking!

"Well, this planet was Atroria, and it was inhabitable," Caspian says.

"And it looks likes like the explosion happened recently. Who would do this?"

"Chanelle, there is only one name I can think of - Krohals. How far is Duamia from here?"

"Prince Tristian, it is a few more days," Malaliel answered. "The course has already been plotted. We are now on our way."

"Tristian Rimulus, take your butt back to the break room and finish your food."

You know you're in trouble when someone says your whole name. "I'm going. I'm going, Chanelle." Geez.

Thursday, July 9th, The Year 2220

Brooke / Talise Jaleh's POV

I have been on bed rest since the day of the original ceremony. But Krohals is getting more irritated each day. I think he is realizing that I am stalling. I hear someone coming now.

"So, I have come to realize that you are faking, so instead of you coming to the ceremony, the ceremony is being brought to you. Sit up, now!!!"

Dang. After sitting up on the horrible bed, Krohals sat next to me. This creepy alien is determined to marry me.

Another creepy alien entered the room and began talking, but this time in English.

The ceremony lasted for all of 10 minutes and we were announced as married. I'm going to be sick. Just like that, I am married to the most disgusting thing in the galaxy.

"Krohals!! We have received word that a convoy of ships is approaching from Atroria!!"

"That's impossible!!!"

"You'll never believe this, but the ships are Paerusian."

He's coming!! I knew he was coming!!! I knew my baby daddy was coming for me!

"I want this room heavily guarded!! Do not let anyone in this room!! And get the troops ready!!!"

"Yes, sir!!!"

"And you, in case you didn't know, you're my queen. To be continued after I finish destroying your precious Tristian Rimulus."

He stood up off the bed and left the room. I laid back down and cried. I miss my baby girl and Tristi so much.

**********************

Asher / Tristian Rimulus' POV

"Duamia is straight ahead, Prince Tristian. The air is suitable enough that you will not need a suit."

"It's red and ominous."

"Uh, Tristian, it looks like this is the farthest we are going to get because here comes a fleet of ships our way!"

"All pilots, to the fighter jets now!!"

"Prince Tristian, wait!! We are receiving an incoming message!!"

"Put it on screen!!"

It was the creep, Krohals!

"Prepare to lose Prince Tristian. You see, I have already won because I have what I always wanted - my queen."

"And I'm here to take Brooke back!!"

"Did you not hear what I said?! We were just wed in a traditional, Duamian ceremony. Our ceremonies are not long and pompous like earthlings. Your ex faked being sick during the first ceremony, so I brought the ceremony to her. You might as well give up because Brooke and your precious baby belong to me!!"

"Bring it on, Krohals because I am leaving this dreadful area of space with the mother of my children!!"

"Goodbye, Prince!!"

The screen cut out and shots began to be fired!!

"We have to find a way onto that planet!!"

"Prince Tristian, we must protect your ship at all costs for the return trip to Paerus!! Several cruisers will lead the way for our ship to land!!"

"Let's do this!!!! Relay a message to all the ships that we need to beam aboard my ship the crew that will be fighting with me on the planet!! And those who are going with me from my ship, let's go to the shuttle bay area!!"

I noticed both Chanelle, Simone, and Neris were running with me.

"Ladies, I need you to stay on the ship."

"Tristian, Chanelle is staying so she can help with the injured. But Neris and I are going. We knew what we signed up for. Divis and Hamon taught us how to use the weapons. In case you didn't understand, we are going."

"Fine, Simone."

The ride to the planet was bumpy - cruisers flying and blast were coming from everywhere. But we landed safely on the planet.

"Hang in there, baby. I'm here, and I'm coming to get you."
