Sailor Venus awoke to find herself bound in stocks with her hands secured above her head. She was dazed and confused as she attempted to gain a bearing of her surroundings. A door creaked and a dark robed figure approached her.
“Who are you?!” Mina demanded, yet she received no reply. “What do you want with me?” she asked. The figure gazed at her beneath his hood. After a brief silence, he spoke, “Sailor Venus, my name is of little consequence to you. As for my motives, they shall be revealed to you in due time. Before doing so, I have a few questions for you that I would love to have answered.”
“I have nothing to say to you. I definitely do not know anything. Wait, I mean I know something, just nothing that is really important.”
“For one of such beauty, you truly have a dieseling intellect. As for your situation, you and the other scouts are confined in similar predicaments in various locations of this realm. You were battling the Nega-verse - is it? Yes, well, during your struggle you managed to prevent the destruction of your planet, however, you did manage to tear a hole in the time space continuum.”
“The what?...”
“Wow, beauty with brains truly is hard to come by. I guess you are fortunate that I do not care for the latter. All you need to know is that you are now located here in my realm. I have been sent here to gather information about you and physical torture is banned here. We do not feel that pain is the best way to extract information.”
Venus smirked and thought to herself - That’s a relief because I’m not really one for pain.
“We have other methods of persuasion if you choose not to cooperate…Sailor Venus, what is the name of your home planet?”
“Venus? No wait, Earth or is it Venus? Do you mean which planet am I from or which planet do I live on?”
“Did you just answer my question with a question? Do you seriously not know where you are from? Is there a difference?”
“…In the planets? One is larger than the other.”
“This is unbelievable. These proceedings are getting us no where. You leave me no choice, you are refusing to cooperate and it is time for me to take drastic measures.”
“What are you going to do to me?” Mina’s voice quivered.
The robed figure stepped forward and spoke in a low whisper. “Where do you want it blondie – under the arm? the soles of your feet?”
