"Father!" she cried as she grabbed a torch and rushed over to a cell, when Bentley was. He looked up. "How did you find me?" he asked as Ciel felt his hands. "Yours hands are cold." she gasped. "I have to take you home." "Ciel... please... leave..." begged Bentley. "I can't! Not without you!" she argued... before a black, scaly arm pulled her back, causing her to drop the torch in a puddle, bathing the place in darkness, except for a small skylight. "Who are you? Why are you here?" the xenomorph growled from the shadows. "RUN!" cried Bentley. But Ciel (nervously) stood her ground. "First, who are you?" she asked "I am Zero, the master of the castle. You have no right to be here!" the xenomorph (now known as Zero) growled. "I've come for my father." Ciel said simply. "Please let him go. He's sick!" Zero glared. "That's too bad. He should have not trespassed." "But he could die!" Ciel pleaded. "There's nothing you can do for him anymore" Zero responded as he started to walk away. Just then, Sinbad, Shanti's father, showed up, accompanied by a bunch of Imperial stormtroopers, Klingon warriors, and Romulan officers. Ciel and Shanti turned to face them in shock. "Uh-oh!" Ciel gasped. "Daddy!" Shanti exclaimed in shock. "I consider myself a reasonable father! I have kept my patience till up to now, Shanti! I set certain rules and I expect those rules to be obeyed!" Sinbad said angrily. Shanti bit her lip and began to explain. "But, Daddy, I--" "Now I am going to ask you once, and I want the truth! Did you or did you not rescue that mortal animal rescuer from drowning?" Sinbad demanded. "Daddy, I had to!" Shanti argued. "I told you not to go near him or anyone else, Shanti, and you know that!" Sinbad scolded. "But if I didn't do anything, he would have drowned and died!" Shanti exclaimed. "Do you think I care? He is a threat to Bad Vader and the Forces of Evil. I forbid you from seeing him!" Sinbad said coldly. "You're more arrogant than Shere Khan! You don't even know Diego!" Shanti snapped angrily. "Know him? I don't have to know him! He is a threat to Bad Vader and the Forces of Evil! I don't care about your feelings for him!" Sinbad shouted. That did it for Shanti, who couldn't hold it in anymore. "DADDY, I LOVE HIM!" she shouted with tears in her eyes. Upon realizing what she had said, Shanti gasped and covered her mouth. Ciel, Daisy, Jenny Foxworth, and the others gasped as well. Sinbad looked stunned. "No" Sinbad gasped. His shock turned to anger. "Have you lost your senses completely, Shanti? He's a mortal animal rescuer! You're an immortal village girl!" "It doesn't matter! I don't care!" Shanti shouted. One of the Imperial stormtroopers then pushed Ciel and Shanti into the dungeon.
