[Legolas The Jedi Master]

Kai bowed gentleman like. "ladies first."

Josh eyed the portal of darkness with distrust, but for the moment Kai didn't seem to be tricking them.

 

[ChristIsCalling]

Di smiled and chuckled to herself as she stepped in. The only thing really different about it from earlier was the destination. She headed toward the light, and emerged from the other end of the portal, looking around.

(( Not sure what to say.. ))

 

[Legolas The Jedi Master]

As Di steped out of the portal she was surrounded by big, strong guys who looked like they were on sterorid's. Kai and Josh steped out right behind Di and Kai looked over the gang members calmly.

"what do you want?" a taller man asked in a deep voice.

"information, and I know only your leader has it. Listen I have money, I'm willing to pay well for services. tell whoever's in charge that I just want to know where a certain lab is, and any information he has on it."

the man nodded and walked off, mumbling somthing to one of the other guys. the three were surounded, but they made no move.

they waited for a long time before the man returned. "he wants a name."

Kai smiled, "tell him young Dook is here."

the man looked a little suprised and left again to relay the message. when the man returned he motioned for the men to lead the three into a building. they were placed in a dark room and the men left them alone.

Kai scaned the room as they were brought in, he spied the one way mirror and speaker. clearly the leader was protective of his idenity, not that Kai blamed him.

Kai turned towards the mirror and smiled slightly as he eyes grew black. after a bit he could make out shapes behind the mirror. "thanks for seeing us."

the speaker overhead crackled. "I have to admit I was intrested when I heard your name. you do realize your father was incharge of building the lab."

Kai raised an eyebrow in mild intrest. Kai hadn't know the extent of his father's hand, but he wasn't suprised. "let's just say we don't get along, but I have access to his money and I can pay hansomly for the information."

the speaker crackled to life again with a chuckle. "I bet you can. but I'm more intrested in what you want to do with the informaion, and how you're going to get in."

Kai grinned over at Josh and Di. "as for getting in, I already have that covered. but as for the information I plan to use it to destory the lab."

"and the people in side?" the voice responded.

"free them, at least the victoms." Kai responded.

"fine, I'll make a deal, I don't want your money, but if you go in I want to you bring me something special from the lab, the reason I have tabs on it. it was your father's pet project."

Kai narrowed his eyes slightly, he knew some about it, but why a gang would want it, he didn't know. "it's a deal," Kai agreed.

"and to make sure you keep up your side of the bargin, your girl friend stays here."

"Wait, just a moment, I need her to get in." Kai said, almost a bit to defensivly.

"talk it over, cause if doesn't stay your not getting the information."

 

[ChristIsCalling]

Di looked at the men surrounding her as she stepped out of the portal. She wasn't, in the least bit, intimidated by their size, and she made sure they knew that by the look she gave them. A moment after, Josh and Kai emerged from the portal behind her.

When the three were led into another room, Diana watched the scene unfold before her with interest.

"..and to make sure you keep up your side of the bargain, your girlfriend stays here."

Diana almost had a heart-attack, and she stared into the mirror as if she were able to see right through it, narrowing her eyes. Di folded her arms, clenching her teeth. Girlfriend?! she thought, Okay, there's NO way I'm staying here. Then again... They don't know what I'm capable of. They might just think I'm some kind of damsel-in-distress weakling." She chuckled to herself. "Boy, won't they get a surprise."

She wanted to say something, to defend herself, but she thought it better to stay silent for the time being. She would talk it over with Kai and Josh in a moment.

 

[Legolas The Jedi Master]

Josh clenched his jaw at the comment about Di, but he wisely kept his mouth shut.

Kai turned towards the other two and in a low voice he muttered, "can't realy talk, they're listening, just follow my lead, and Di, don't mess it up."

Kai turned back towards the glass. "alright, come at take her, if you can handle her."

A low chuckle came from the speaker and Kai bit back a smile. he was playing right into Kai's hands.

the door opened and four gaurds came in with guns. "no funny stuff." the gaurds grunted at the two boys.
Kai smirked back, "have at them Di." with that Kai dissapered.

Josh jumped at Kai as he vanished. Josh fell to the ground where Kai stood a second before. Josh mentaly cursed Kai for leaving them in this mess. Josh stood up and looked at Di to see how she was doing.

 

[ChristIsCalling]

Di smiled as the four guys emerged from the doorway.

"Have at them, Di." she heard Kai say, and she smiled again, staring down each and every one of them. Behind her, a brick lifted from the ground, hovering for a moment. "You have no idea what I'm capable of." she said to all of them. "At least, not yet."

In an instant, she leapt off the ground, and sent the brick at one of the guards. It knocked the gun right out of his hands, and Diana landed next to it, kicking it over to Josh.

Next, she picked up a pile of dirt and flung it at another one. She laughed to herself as he complained about it getting into his eyes, and she ripped the gun from his hands, and held it in her own, taking aim at them all and backing up next to Josh.

 

[Legolas The Jedi Master]

Josh caught the gun with suprise, Di scared him at times. Josh aimmed the gun at the group and told them to sit down, which they did.

they didn't have to wait long, Kai came walking through the door with a smirk on his face. "got what we needed. she was really helpfull when her guards were no longer of help to her."

Kai opened another portal behind them. "on the other side should be a utility lab, if she gave me the right info. Josh, care to check it out?"

Josh nodded and jumped through. a few seconds later he returned. he was clearly shaken by the trip through the portal, but was trying hard to hide it. "she was right, it looks good."
Josh turned back around and walked through the portal. Kai nodded for Di to follow him through.

 

[ChristIsCalling]

Di nodded, gave the guards whom she'd just defeated a smirk, and a playful wink, and headed through the portal.

 

[Aisynia]

OOC: I apologize heavily you guys for not being here very much. Things have madly picked up for the worse. Please mod my characters as you see fit since I don't have the slightest clue when I will be able to come back and post for y'all. Be blessed y'all.

 

[ChristIsCalling]

(( That's alright, Aisynia. ))

 

[FireRock]

((Hmmm...sorry for being gone for awhile. Been a crazy, crazy week. Cripes, let's see what I can do here...))

Brandon was dreaming, but it was lots of little things all jumbled together. He felt weak, like he was trying to wake up, but couldn't. Like he wanted to move his arms and legs, but they wouldn't listen to his brain. He couldn't differentiate between what he was dreaming and what was actually happening.

Fire everywhere.

Taka laughing in the pizza parlor.

More flames.

Boxing gloves inside the ring.

Little girl with flowers on her shirt.

Taka's eyes.

Men wearing black suits.

Fireballs bigger than his hands.

Taka's hand in his.

Brandon shivered suddenly, the cool washcloth falling off his forehead. Mrs. Carroni picked it up, rewet it, and tried to put it back on his forehead, but his eyes were beginning to blink open. She began talking to him, but her words sounded muffled and faraway, so he squeezed his eyes shut to try and clear his head.

"You are okay, yes?" Mrs. Carroni asked again, her voice on the edge of fear but remaining calm.

Brandon moved his hands a little to make sure he could feel them before replying, "Taka? Where's Taka?"

"She is gone with some men," Mrs. Carroni replied, "I do not know who they were."

Brandon tried to sit up as the lady's words sunk in to his still-groggy mind. As soon as he did though, he realized where he'd been tazed. A trained shot to the spine, somewhere below the base of his neck. He couldn't even find the muscle control to reach around and feel the area. Falling back on the pillow made of towels, he tried to reform his memories from his last few minutes of consciousness.

"I should call your house," Mrs. Carroni offered, "Give me your phone number."

"Taka..." Brandon said again, somehow waiting for her to show up next to Mrs. Carroni and ask him how he was doing. She didn't though, and the pizza lady's words finally sunk in deep enough that it registered as the bad situation it was.

Reaching down into one of his pant's pockets, he pulled out his cell. Holding it up for Mrs. Carroni, she took it as he told her to look under 'House' and call to see if anyone was there. Brandon squeezed his eyes shut again, fighting back tears. How could he let them take Taka? Kai trusted him with his little sister and now she could be dead. He'd probably be dead soon enough now too. He saw Taka's face again before he had gone unconscious, how scared she was.

Brandon heard Mrs. Carroni say something about how it was ringing as he tried to sit up again without opening his eyes.

Lucas was alone in the house, lounging on the couch with a carton of chocolate chip ice cream on his lap, and two spoons. two spoons just in case if he dropped on of them. CSI was on, and he was eating ice cream. The phone rang as soon as he dropped a spoon and a truck blew up.
What?! What just happened?? The truck blew up when he reached down to get the spoon, so he missed it. putting the ice cream carton aside with the spoons in it, he walked over to the phone and picked it up, rubbing the bottom of his shirt that had a stain on it.
"'Yello. " He spoke into the receiver.

 

[ChristIsCalling]

(( Hahaha. Nice. ))

 

[FireRock]

((Loved the post, Period! Simply grand.))

"Yes, hello?" Mrs. Carroni replied to the voice on the other end of the cell phone, her Italian accent thick, "This is a friend of Brandon, yes?"

Now that Brandon had found the strength to sit upright for the most part, he reached out for the phone, wanting to know who Mrs. Carroni had gotten ahold of. She quickly turned away from his reach and Brandon dropped his arm in quick defeat.

"Cripes," he grumbled, watching the pizza lady for her next comment.

Mr. Carroni was out in the restaraunt, having just cleaned up the mess and clamed down his remaining customers. He made up some excuse that most citizens of NYC would easily buy and they went about their own business, as was custom in that kind of city. Mr. Carroni would look into the back room every now and then to make sure his wife had everything under control and whatnot, but she would quickly shoo him back out to take care of the restaraunt.

 

[Maul]

"Uh.. Yea. " Lucas replied, leaning on the wall. With his left hand holding the phone, his right hand was trying to rub off the stain. Giving up on rubbing, Lucas went back to his old habit and bent down a little, and sucked on the bottom of the shirt. It tasted faintly of dirt, and more of ice cream. He held the phone away for those two moments so the person on the other end couldn't hear anything. Straightening up, he walked a bit over to the TV, grabbed the remote and turned it down. He watched as a person with a gun rolled over in the dirt, screaming something.
"Yes, this is his friend. Why? What happened? "

 

[Legolas The Jedi Master]

Kai and Josh followed Di through. They found themselves in a storage room. Kai looked around calmly taking it in. "alright. I'm not sure where the patients are, but you need to take care of the gaurds, they'll be all over us once we're seen. Basicly we're going to destory the place once we get the patients out."

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

Taka opened her eyes and moaned. everything around her was dark. Taka tried to move her arms but found them still tied behind her. "Brandon?" Taka asked tenitivly.
Silence awnsered her, "Kai?" Taka asked a bit louder.
Still no responce. Taka shivered in the cold and started to cry.

 

[ChristIsCalling]

Diana nodded in understanding. She felt bad about destroying the place once they got the patients out. But, if the workers happened to survive, and they were brought to jail, the government would only get them out again.

 

[FireRock]

"Your friend, Brandon, needs help," Mrs. Carroni replied, beginning to pace around the small backroom as Brandon watched her.

"Who are you talking to?" Brandon asked, wincing a little as he tried to sit up more and even get off the table he was laying on, "Who's on the other side? Is it Kai? Have they heard anything yet?" Brandon kept firing questions, although Mrs. Carroni simply waved them off with her hand as she had her own conversation with Josh.

"You must come get him," She continued, "His...friend...Taka, she is gone. Taken."

 

[Maul]

Lucas was about to ask a question after the person on the other side said that Brandon needed help, but then she continued on.
"His..friend..Taka, she is gone. Taken. "
That last word hit Lucas like a bunch of bricks. "What? What do you me-oh, nevermind. I'll be over ASAP. Bye. " Lucas promply hung up, and walked out the front door forgetting all about his ice cream and CSI. He knew that it would break his spree of watching it for three weeks straight, every day but this was important. It couldn't wait. Lucas grabbed his black leather jacket, and walked off. The walk turned into a jog, and then a run, until he forgot where he was going. Spinning around, Lucas sprinted back to the house and grabbed the phone.
Lucky that Kai had installed Caller ID. Pressing Send, he waited. The person on the other end picked it up again.
"Sorry for hanging up, but where's Brandon? "

 

[FireRock]

Mrs. Carroni actually laughed after she picked up the phone again and Lucas asked her where Brandon was. She was near the door of the room peaking out into the kitchen of the restaraunt as she gave Lucas directions and the address of the pizza place and its general location near Central Park.

Brandon could made out most of what still sounded like mumbling, but he was getting his bearings back...finally. He was becoming frustrated at his inability to jump up and go after Taka right away.

"What good are freaking super powers if they don't always work?" he thought to himself, rubbing his head again. His back was the most sore, and he definitely wasn't looking forward to running or fighting at all, but adrenaline was fueling his frustration, giving him energy.

"Who did you talk to?" Brandon asked, sitting upright and looking at Mrs. Carroni as she set the phone back down and walked over to him.

"A boy," she replied simply in her thick Italian accent, "He will be here to get you."

Brandon swallowed hard. Which boy? Kai? Hopefully not. Maybe he'd luck out and Lucas would show up. He could deal with Lucas right now. Heck, he could deal with Chrissy right now before he could deal with Kai.

"Cripes. What am I gonna do?" he mumbled.
