I knew I was going to die. That knowledge had been with me ever since I had been taken prisoner. I only had a few seconds left before the Master Toad would be here if I was going to fulfill my plan. I fingered the collar that gripped my throat as tightly as a massive fist, cutting off all my powers. I had no ideal where it had come from or how they had gotten their hands on it, but I did know that if I were still breathing when the Master Toad arrived, it would only be a matter of time before he had the answers he and his forces required to conquer Alderberan; to overthrow my Grandmother, the Queen; to destroy my homeworld; and to either murder or enslave, a fate far worse than any death, all my people, including every one that I had ever held dear. No matter how strong I was, I knew I could never keep him from learning, from my own thoughts, memories, and very mind, all that he needed to know to overcome all those I loved and the rest of my people and to conquer Alderberan, not with his new, and deadliest yet, weapon.

My ears strained for the slightest sound, wondering frantically how much time I had left, as I thought of my family back home. My beloved husband, Morph; our kittens, all thirteen of them; my dear sister, best friend, and partner, Katrina Lewis aka Firestar; her husband and my husband's best friend, Tom Ballard; my Grandmother and role model, Sheba, the Queen of Alderberan; my cousin Jenny and her husband, Bucky. I knew I had seen them all for the last time, and I swallowed the cry that rose in my throat.

As I unsheathed my deadly claws, I knew that I would never get to see my Grandmother finally shirk her royal duties enough to marry the Earthling, Charles Xavier, who had claimed her heart, nor would I ever be blessed enough to see any of my children grow up, or indeed even grow one more day older. I would never know when Katrina finally gave up the fight and settled down with Tom, nor when Jenny and Bucky did the same. Worst of all, I would never again hear the laughter in my husband's voice as he joked, see the twinkle in his darling brown eyes, feel his gentle touch, or taste the sweet wine of his lips ever again. Tears filled my blue eyes, but I refused to let them fall. I would not let my body be discovered with tear stains on my furry cheeks. I would never give our enemies that pleasure.

Nor would I give them the pleasure of using the Alderberan Princess that they had so cleverly captured to overthrow my homeworld, and then use it and my people to move on from there to conquer the entire galaxy, one world, one universe, at a time. No one would ever see me alive again. These were my final moments. I couldn't care less the reaction my death would bring to my enemies other than for the fact that it would stop their devious plans, at least for some time more, but Bast only knew how my loved ones would take the news of my death. I hated the thought that I was about to make Morph a widower and that my kittens would have to spend the rest of their lives without a mother. I knew he would never remarry, but I did pray to Bast that She would protect all those I held dear and not let any harm come to them, be it by their own hands or by someone else's. I could not bare the thought that my death would result in anyone else's, let alone the death of any of those that I love so dearly, that I love with all my being.

As my body shook uncontrollably and the tips of my claws gently grazed the top of my head, I prayed one last time, not for deliverance nor for my own soul but for protection and strength for those that I love, those that, with a few seconds more, I would leave behind. As a parade of footsteps began to approach the door to my cell, the faces of my husband, our kittens, my sister, my Grandmother, and the rest of my family flashed once more throughout my mind. My entire life played once more before my eyes, this time for the last time. It was the charming, handsome, smiling face of my beloved husband, and soul mate, Morph that was the last thing I saw, right before everything went black and I neither felt nor thought any more.

As soon as Katrina Lewis had informed her friend and fellow captain, Bucky O'Hare, of the capture of her beloved sister, Bucky had come up with a plan of rescue. Both he and Katrina would cloak their ships and sneak up on the Toad ship where Katrina had located her sister. Coming from different directions, Bucky would attack the ship using his weapons and drawing their attentions to his side of the ship. During the second blast at the Toad ship, Katrina was to blow a hole through the side closest to where her sister was held.

Deadeye Duck was getting a kick out of blowing holes in the ship while Bucky kept moving so that as the Toads fought back they missed the Righteous Indignation every time. Katrina reached out to her sister's mind with her own. {{{Hang on, little one; I'm coming!}}}

Putting the Space Witch on auto pilot she boarded the Toad ship through the small hole she had created with her laser. Not big enough to draw attention to it by the Toad crew, it was barely large enough for her to fit her slim form through it. It took several minutes for her to find the chamber where her sister was held captive. She saw no one around; using her telekinisis, she freed her sister. She gently shook her unconscious body and was relieved when she heard a gasp followed by a softly spoken word, "Katrina?"

"Yes, it's me, dearest heart! Did you think I would not come?" She lifted her sister in her arms and ran with her to the hole where she set her down on her feet. "Two to come aboard, Witchy Woman!" She was immediately rewarded with a soft glow that surrounded both of them and beamed them aboard the Space Witch.

Katrina buckled her sister into the co-pilot seat and then sat behind the wheel, giving the ship new directions. She then used her telepathy to tell Bucky that they were clear. The Space Witch backed up enough for clearance and let go with a megaton bomb right at the Toad ship. On the other side, Bucky had dropped one on the ship at the same time. The Toad ship blew into a million pieces.

They headed for home. Again Katrina used her telepathy, {{{Thanks, Bucky! I owe you one!}}} Katrina reached out her right hand and patted her sister's arm gently. {Thank Bast we were able to save her!!!} Katrina did not want to lose her sister. She was the most important person in the whole world.

Soon the lights of Alderberan could be seen. They were home!!!
