"Lemme see..." Minako pushed a button. "Damn, it doesn't work! Why doesn't the hatch open?"
"It must be jammed," Makoto assumed. "Here, let me try it..." She pulled with all her might, but the hatch only moved a little. She let go of it and panted hardly. "Whew... this is harder than I thought..."
Jade smirked. "Allow me." She pulled out one of the Talismans - the Ox Talisman.
Jade smirked as she felt the strength of the ox flow through her body. She walked over to the hatch and with a powerful yank, she ripped it open.
"There, easy, huh?"
Makoto whistled. "Wow, these Talismans sure are useful. Good thing you brought them along, Jade."
"Yes, but they belong in Section 13," Jackie said with a frown. "Just taking them like that is called stealing."
"Aw, spare us the lecture," Minako said as she jumped out of the hatch, together with Artemis. Jackie sighed, then he climbed out as well. The others followed them.
"Looks like the pilots and Fred already left," Minako said. "Well, we just have to find him, then."
"Yes, but we have to be careful," Artemis said. "We don't know how those aliens will react if they see humans here on the planet."
They looked around. The ship was standing in some kind of hangar, with only some surveillance robots walking around. Carefully, they sneaked past them and left the building.
Shortly afterwards, they were walking on the streets of Vyrx's capital city. The buildings weren't very big, but looked very futuristic. Several thin towers were rising into the air, and hovering cars were driving along the streets.
And every single person they were seeing was female.
"I wonder where all the men are," Minako said and looked around. "Damn, this is not a good place to do some guy-hunting..."
"I also realized that most of them actually have a normal skin color, only the soldier women's faces are blue," Kasumi said. "Maybe we can make them believe that we are from Vyrx as well."
"Good idea," Makoto nodded.
So they just wandered on the street, behaving like normal pedestrians, all the while inconspicuously keeping an eye open for Fred Frilly.
Suddenly, two of the amazon soldiers came towards them. "Good work," one of them said. "I see you managed to capture a male specimen. We'll take him to prison, don't worry!" And they grabbed Jackie hard.
"H-hey..." he protested weakly.
"Hey, this might be our big chance," Jade whispered to her new friends. "We can follow them, I'm sure they will bring Jackie to where Fred is."
Minako suppressed a chuckle. She liked that girl. To the soldiers, she nodded. "Yes, take him away, so he won't make any trouble."
"W-wait a second," Jackie shouted. "W-what are you doing? Jade, tell them the truth..."
One of the soldiers whacked him on the head. "Silence, male! You only speak if we tell you to. Now, come on, we'll take you to the queen."
And while they dragged poor Jackie along, he quietly muttered: "Bad day, bad day..."
"Oh my," Kasumi murmured. "I hope they will treat him nice."
They waited until the soldiers and Jackie were some distance away, then followed them quietly.
"Those amazons are even stricter to males than the amazons from China I know," Kasumi said. "I wonder what happened that made them act like this..."
"I don't know, and I really don't want to know," Makoto replied. "I mean, feminine pride is all right, but not like that!"
Minako grinned down at Artemis. "I can think of someone who could use some time in a jail cell..." Her face changed to a dark expression. "...because he once snatched away my tuna sandwich!"
Artemis groaned. "You still mad about that? Can't you just drop the subject?"
