DCW...IRL?

[Aeyra 260]

Oh great, I'm completely lost. I don't even know what clues we've found. O.o Someone write so I know what to do. Out of curiosity, has anyone else ever watched 'A Very Potter Musical'? It's hilarious!

[IdentityUnknown 216]

Fine, I'll write since you guys don't seem to want to...even though I was the last one to write.

------

IdentityUnknown wasn't quite sure how long it had been since she left the complex. She wasn't sure if she had been discovered yet nor how far she had traveled. All she knew was that she was exhausted and needed to find water. Dusk would probably come soon and she needed to find some water before she allowed herself to crash.

She had been considering what to do next for a while. When she had been in the cell she had heard a bit of talk about police. Whether it was about the police's attempts to find the hostages or infiltrating them she didn't know but it was best to take precaution. IdentityUnknown groaned slightly. She didn't want to get any of her friends involved -- the kidnapper had shown he was perfectly capable of doing serious harm...or death.

Speaking of the kidnapper...hadn't one of his lackeys (I will refrain from using the word 'minion' here) mentioned his name...no, it was best not to think about it.

A little farther she spotted a stream. Dipping her hands into it, she drank the cool water, letting it trickle down her throat. She decided immediately to spend the night near here...who knew where the next source of water was?

IdentityUnknown went a little deeper into the forest. "Watching Man vs. Wild doesn't help when you don't have strong, thick vines to make a makeshift hammock with," she grumbled. Instead, she found a large tree and sat down on the farther side of it, away from the road. Not the best hiding spot, but she didn't have much of a choice.

As IdentityUnknown drifted off to sleep, she once again pondered the kidnapper's motive. It'd been nagging at her since the very first day...why? If it was ransom the call would've been made days ago. IdentityUnknown didn't have any enemies so that couldn't be it...

Why? was her last thought before she fell asleep.

[Monsi 51]

OMG A BUS?!?!?!?!??!!??!?!?!

Ok sorry~ Im going to make use of you!

---------------------------------------

"Found anything yet?" KKLT asked Misaki.

"Nope..." Misaki said, while panting. They have been scouring around for clues and asking people and cars passing by if they had witnessed the firing but to no avail.

Suddenly they saw a bus driving by, they decided to ask them about the incident.

"HEY!" Misaki chan waved her hands signalling the bus to stop.

The bus slowed down and stopped beside Misaki chan. The door opened.

"Hi, sorry for stopping you out of the blue but I was wondering if you had seen the firin-" Misaki stopped halfway after seeing who is on the bus. "Hey its you!"

"Yea. I was wondering who could this familiar girl be when I saw you waving at me." Monsi said without a look of surprise.

"What are you doing here?" Misaki asked.

"I was heading to Burger King for breakfast." Monsi replied. "Also, at the same time, we were looking for you girls."

"We?" Misaki chan asked.

"Yea. Me and Tsukiko."

"Erm... sorry to interrupt here... But, what's going on?" KKLT was watching the conversation with a puzzled look.

"Oh Legend! This is a guy I met in Burger King. I accidentally spilled his coke and he was a gentleman to have forgiven me for it. Oh... wait... TSUKIKO?" A realization dawned on Misaki. "Monsi and Tsukiko... that sounds familiar... Where have I heard it?"

"Let me jolt your memory then..." Monsi replied. "Could it possibly... be from a forum... called DCW?"

"AH!" Misaki exclaimed. "Both of you are from DCW too?! Oh gosh... You shouldn't be here! Leave quick! Before Mark gets hold of you!"

"Well he already did." Tsukiko commented. " I got kidnapped as well. I just escaped."

"YOU WHAT?!" KKLT and Misaki chan yelled together.

"Ok enough with the yelling." Monsi said calmly. "What were you girls doing here?"

"We were asking for clues to the firing here. We need to find out where they could have hidden Pyre."

"Pyre?"

"Yea, you know? IdentityUnknown?"

"Ah. Her."

"Yes. Do you know anything, Tsukiko?"

"Not that I know of... But we can help you search. Monsi has got a bulletproof bus."

"This bus is bulletproof?"

"Yes. If it helps..."

"It's a great asset. Misaki chan, could you contact Aeyra for me? Thanks." KKLT beamed with excitement. "We've got ourselves a useful ally."

*Beep* *Beep*

"It looks like they contacted us first." Misaki answered the radio. "This is Misaki and Legend."

"Me and Chelsea have found something! Gather infront of the Burger King immediately!"

"Ok. We're on it... By the way, we'll bring you something very useful."

"What is it?"

"You'll see in a while."

"Okay. But hurry!"

"We'll be there faster than you'll expect."

Monsi released the hand brake and looked at the girls, "So? Shall we hurry?"

"Let's go!"

--------------------------------------------

YAY! We've got a bus!

Is it just me or have I disappeared? LOL XD

I just found out that we have left someone out...so I'll bring her back...

BTW, Sayomi, in case you don't know where you are anymore, read this:

Sayomi relaxed in a booth at Starbucks Coffee. She was glad that her running was FINALLY over. She was with some real policemen who could probably do some investigating for her. That was a good thing. Things were going to be peaceful now Immense relief washed over her as she sipped her strawberries and creme frap.

"So, why did you end up with those guys anyway?" The officer asked. "And who are you?"

"I called him a pervert for trying to invite me to drink beer with him." Sayomi answered sheepishly. Her occasionally smartass attitude probably hadn't helped her in that situation. "And I'm not telling you my name until I know yours first."

"I'm Devin." Devin told her.

"Nice to meet you, Devin. I'm Sayomi." Sayomi shook hands with Devin and then they lapsed into awkward silence. Then she found a question to ask. "How long has all this craziness around here been going on?"

"A couple of days." Devin replied. "There are a few girls that are stirring up a bunch of trouble and causing crazy car explosions. A few of the guys took them to safety just a few minutes ago so they're fine, hopefully. But anyway, the real police have caught onto what's happening and we're going to try and save the police force."

"Do you really think you can do it?" Sayomi asked. "You can't exactly get back into the police station. All your resources are technically lost."

"We can try. These girls are pretty smart and can probably help us win this." Devin said confidently. "I'll try and take you to them... as long as they aren't captured again."

"Again?!" Sayomi exclaimed. "Are you saying that they were captured a few times?"

"Yes, and by the same person." Devin sighed. "This is getting out of hand but it'll be... really bad if we don't fix this problem."

Sayomi thought for a moment, then made up her mind. "Get me to these girls. I want to see what's going on."

"That's fine. But I think they're back on the run..." Devin explained.

She sighed. "It's all right. Let's just go find them."

That was easier said than done. As soon as Sayomi finished drinking her frap, she got up and threw the empty cup away. She and Devin were about to leave when suddenly, the glass window in the front shattered from the impact of a spray of bullets. Panic ensued in Starbucks, and Sayomi immediately dove for cover behind an overturned table. Devin hid behind another table and pulled a gun out of his back pocket. He was trying to get a clear shot at the shooter, but suddenly he went flying backwards with blood staining his shirt.

"NO!" Sayomi yelled, staring in horror as her new friend collapsed to the ground, never to get up again. She'd just lost any hope of ever finding those girls to get the answers she wanted about everything that was going on.

Devin had dropped his gun when he'd fallen, and it was only a few feet in front of her. Sayomi crawled out, hoping she'd stay under the cover of all the rising dust. Her hand groped around a bit before it closed over the metal of the gun. She picked it up and pocketed it, along with some other weapons and cash that Devin had had on him.

She escaped from Starbucks with nothing but her iPhone, weapons, and cash.

-----------------------------------------

While they're on their way to Burger King...

Monsi asked, "Girls, are you bored?"

"YES!!!", all of them answered in unison.

"Well, I brought along my laptop. You may use it for the time being. It has all DC episodes, movies, OVAs, and magic files. It's in my backpack over there." *points to a backpack in front* "By the way, you girls might wanna seat at the second row, just for safety purposes. Don't worry, they can be reclined."

"THANKS!", they answered again in unison. Then, the girls immediately grabbed his backpack and watched some old episodes. After few minutes, someone suddenly crossed the road out of nowhere. Because of that, Monsi stepped on the brake pedal very hard, which almost threw him out of his seat and caused the girls to bang their heads to the seats in front of them.

"GIRLS, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?!"

Legend answered for them, "Well, our heads hurt, especially mine, but we're fine. What happened?"

"Well, there's a girl that suddenly crossed the road out of nowhere. Oh yeah, I have to go and check her!"

So, Monsi went out of his bus and asked the girl who was shocked, "Miss, are you all right?"

"I-I-I'm f-f-f-ine...", the girl said, still shocked from that near-death experience.

When Monsi saw the girl's face, he blurted out, "ARE YOU SAYOMI FROM DCW??"

"Y-y-yes...w-w-who a-a-are y-y-you?"

"Monsi."

"Monsi?"

"You know, DCW's not-that-too-active-anymore member."

"Monsi...", Sayomi said as she started to cry. "Many things have been happening...and...and..."

"There there. Now, why don't you go with us and tell us what happened."

"Us? Who are with you?"

"You'll see..."

When they got back to the bus...

"Girls, we've got ourselves another ally."

"SAYOMI!!", Legend, Misaki, and Tsukiko exclaimed as they rushed to Sayomi and hugged her.

"All right. Settle down, girls. We have to continue our journey to Burger King. Sayomi, you can tell us what happened to you on the way.

Monsi gets back to his seat and continued driving while, at the same time, listening to what Sayomi is saying.

-----------------------------------------------------

Sorry, IdentityUnknown. I'll/We'll get back to you later.

I just found out that we have left someone out...so I'll bring her back...

Lets continue with this then

----------------------------------------

The team reached burger king and saw Aeyra and Chelsea waiting.

The bus stopped infront of the alley. Apparently, they had not anticipated a bus and was shocked by the grand entrance.

"Legend! Erm... wh-who are...the-these guys?" Aeyra asked, a little startled.

Pointing to the new guys in turn, KKLT replied, "This is monsi. This is Tsukiko and this is Sayomi~ They're here to help us. Oh if you havn't realised, they're from DCW as well."

"I... see..." Chelsea said, still havn't recovered from the surprise. "...and what's with the bus?"

"Oh this?" Monsi replied. "It's my personal property. I've brought it along, and seeing it might be able to help you guys, I've decided to loan it to you."

"Yea. He says its bulletproof, bomb proof, fireproof, and attack proof!" KKLT added, and sticking her tongue out jokingly. "Joking. I think he only mentioned bullet proof... But its a good add on!"

"We can't let them get involved in this-" Aeyra tried to finish her sentence but Sayomi cut in, "We are already involved!"

"Yea. I think they were also victims of Mark. I forgot to tell you." KKLT continued. "Sayomi and Tsukiko seemed to have been kidnapped... too." KKLT rolled her eyes abit.

At this moment, Lia and Cure seemed to have arrived as well, and they too, were shocked by the new people. KKLT did an introduction as well and they *sort of* understood the situation too.

"So, you called us back here, saying you've found a clue?" KKLT started the real topic.

"Yes." Aeyra took out her ipod touch. "This."

She turned on a program and a blue flashing arrow appeared and behind it was a map.

"What is this?" KKLT asked.

"Remember the guys we let run?" Aeyra answered with a smile. "Its the bug tracker."

"I see. But it seems to have stopped at this location." KKLT pointed to the blue flashing arrow which didn't seem to move.

"Yes. Perhaps they have found out about the bug. But still, its a great clue. We can start searching from there."

"Where is that place?"

"Let's check."

"It's XXXX forest."

"Great, a forest... We go on a trek now." Misaki commented sarcastically.

"How are we going to search from a forest?" Lia asked.

"Hmm... How about let's head there first?" Cure continued.

"My bus can only reach the sides of the forest if there is no path..." Monsi said.

"It's okay, at least we have a ride. I'll thank you first." smiled KKLT.

"Anytime." replied Monsi.

"I'll come along too." Tsukiko said with a determined look.

"Me too." Sayomi added in.

"We're glad to have you." KKLT replied the both of them. "Now let's head to this forest."

"YEA!" everyone chimed.

------------------------

WE'RE COMING TO GET YOU PIPICHAN!

[IdentityUnknown 216]

I love the fact that I don't know anything about your rescue mission or bug...though I find it unlikely you'd have the time to make one and stick one on me without anyone finding out.

------

Morning. Time to move.

IdentityUnknown got up and brushed the leaves off her pants. She walked quietly to the stream, checking that nobody was there. After washing her face, she took a long drink and felt refreshed, if a little hungry.

As IdentityUnknown walked briskly away from where she had slept, she didn't notice a tiny bug stuck on the tree she had leaned against.

Morning. Time to move.

IdentityUnknown got up and brushed the leaves off her pants. She walked quietly to the stream, checking that nobody was there. After washing her face, she took a long drink and felt refreshed, if a little hungry.

As IdentityUnknown walked briskly away from where she had slept, she didn't notice a tiny bug stuck on the tree she had leaned against.

YAY! Let's continue...

------------------------

Monsi drove the bus towards XXXX forest. The girls were very nervous. They have left the crowded areas, and it means there are no other buses to camouflage their bus. However, they were determined to get Pyre out of captive quick and so they continued.

KKLT thought to herself. "Its really weird. I'm going on a rescue mission and I'm nervous... but excited at the same time, even though I've faced near-death scenarios. I must be insane... *sigh*"

"We're approaching XXXX forest." Monsi suddenly spoke. "Am I going in the right direction? Are we nearing the bug?"

"Yea." Aeyra replied while looking at her ipod. "The bug is not so far into the forest."

"We're there- Ah! There's a path in. Shall we drive in?" Monsi asked when we reached the edge of the forest.

"Let's drive in. The path is still wide." KKLT replied with everyone nodding as consent.

"Okay. Tell me when you think we should stop."

The bus continued driving in until the road narrowed quite a bit and the team decided to continue walking in. Monsi parked the bus there and the team continued into the forest.

"We're getting close..." KKLT whispered.

Suddenly, somewhere around them, the bushes rustled. Everyone paused. The rustling came again.

Suddenly KKLT suddenly noticed someone behind the bushes and yelled, "Who's that?!"

Everyone turned to look at the unknown person who tried to flee and Misaki suddenly sprinted and pounced on that person. "Ouch!", everybody heard that unknown person shout. Then suddenly,

Misaki realised the person she had just pounced on was actually someone whom all of us are familiar with. "Yo-You're...!"

"Who is it?!" Chelsea asked and everyone ran over to that person.

When everyone stared down at that unknown person, everyone's eyes widened with surprise.

"PYRE!" everyone yelled in unison!

----------------------------------------

:P

[Tsukiko 73]

I'm finally back. I was on a holiday from this "fic" because of a lack of ideas... And now there are too many people in one place! And I dont remember how many of us Pyre had already met. Well, I'll try my best.

-- -- --

Tsukiko was confused. She had met too many people during a one day. At first she had met Monsi who had found her from that abdoned house she had been sleeping in(as well as the other girls...). Then they had drove around New Jersey with a bullet proof bus and met Misaki and KKLT. On the way to Burger King Sayomi had jumped in and at the Burger King they found Ayera and Chelsea who had waited for them + LIA and Cure-kun had come there. And finally they had found Pyre from a random forest.

"Pyre?" Tsukiko thought aloud. The girl who Misaki had pounced on looked annoyed. "Ah, you okay?" The Finn asked and helped her up.

"Fine, I think..." Pyre mumbled.

"Misaki, was that really necessary?" Monsi asked as Misaki still sat on the ground.

"I'm not answering." The girl stated.

"Pyre, I'm glad you're okay. Where have you been?" Chelsea asked.

"I'm not answering." Pyre mimiced Misaki. "Umm, who are these... new guys here?"

"Ah, here is Sayomi, Tsukiko and Monsi." KKLT introduced."They are helping us. Sayomi and Tsukiko got kidnapped-"

"Just call me Tsuki." Tsukiko interupted.

"Whatever. And Monsi is... our bus driver."

"Yeah, he has a bulletproof bus." Ayera added.

"Whoa, kinda amazing..." Pyre smiled a bit.

"It really is. And I'm sure the bus is also bomb proof, fire proof and attack proof, like Legend said!" Cure-kun repeated what KKLT had said earlier.

"Did you take it seriously?" LIA asked.

"Nope."

*Beep, beep* Tsukiko's phone rang. Her mother was calling. "Sorry, I have to answer..."

"Haloo? Äiti? Mitä nyt?" *translated ltr

"Olen huolissani sinusta. Näin juuri uutisissa mitä kaikkea on tapahtunut siellä New Jerseyssä. Räjähdyksiä ja ammuskelua, kidnappauksia ja..."

"Äiti, olen täysin kunnossa. Minulle ei ole tapahtunut mitään pahaa. Voit olla huoleti."

"Ehkä sinun pitäisi tulla aikaisemmin kotiin. Me isäsi kanssa olemme huolissamme sinusta..."

"Ah, minun on mentävä nyt. Kaverini kutsuvat. Soitan myöhemmin uudestaan. Terveisiä iskälle!"

"Odo-"

Tsukiko hung up the phone and sighed.

"Who was it?" Chelsea asked.

"My mum. She is worried and wants me home but I'm not going."

"Why?" KKLT asked.

"Yeah, why? You are in better safe there." Cure-kun agreed.

"I don't wanna leave you gyus. We have to solve what is behind these kidnappings and put an end to it. If I'm going back you are coming with me."

"How... stupid. But kind." Pyre stated.

"Why, thank you."

"Your language is pretty... weird. Lots of vocals."

"I know it. It's said that Finnish is one of the most complicated languages in the world. But also is said that people in Finland are speaking English very well. They are the third best of the countries which don't have English as a offical language."

"Interesting but I think we don't have time for chit-chatting." Monsi said."Or at least we can talk inside the bus. Much safier and warmer."

"Don you have cold?" Ayera asked and touched Monsi's forehead.

"I'm fine but it's a bit chilly wind here."

"That's right. Let's go in." Chelsea admitted. The group of ten people got in the super-cool-bulletproof-bus owned by Monsi.

Inside the bus some of them started to play with their cell phones or watch DC-anime from Monsi's laptop as the bus owner himself drove the bus back to the city center. Tsukiko opened her laptop aswell and noticed a new topic in DCW's forum. It was started yesterday evening by Mohorovicic/Mark/the evil kidnapper. And the name of the topic was

Where are they?And what do you think has happened to them?

"What are you looking at...umm...Tsuki?" Cure-kun, who leaned against the back of Tsukiko's seat, asked.

"Ah, nothing!" Tsukiko pulled the screen down.

"Okay..." Cure-kun moved next to LIA, Chelsea, Pyre and Misaki who were watching DC-anime. The episode was number 230: Mysterious Passenger, part 1. Tsukiko pushed the screen up.

"Should I tell them? Maybe I should read the reply's of this topic at first..." There weren't many replies. Most of them just said the missing members had just fed up with DCW and having a day of until something interesting happens. But there were also some replies that said the missing ones propably are in danger. But those ones had been written with a joke.

"What is he thinking? Is he waiting that we come and inform him where are we?"

-- -- --

Okay, another lack of ideas. Now I'll translate the phone call between me and my mother.

"Hello? Mum? What's up?"

"I'm worried about you. I just saw in news what have happened there in New Jersey. Explosions and firing, kidnappings and..."

"Mum, I'm alright. Nothing bad have happened to me. No need to worry."

"Maybe you should come home earlier. Me and your father are worried about you..."

"Ah, I gotta go now. My friends are calling me. I'll call you later. Say 'hello' from me to daddy!"

"Wai-"

[Aeyra 260]

Aeyra took out her iTouch and checked out DCW, seeing if there was something interesting that could catch her eye, or if there was some other poor member who was unfortunate enough to be in New Jersey at the time so maybe she could warn them. She entered the chatroom, and was immediately surprised by the newest, hottest topic on the list. 'Where are they?' and in the subtitle 'and what has happened to them?' Aeyra gave a sardonic smile as she read the creator's name, Mohorovicic. Oh the irony.

"Psst!" hissed Aeyra quietly to Chelsea, ushering the other girl over. "Look at this! Mark made a topic about us! And he's the top poster. He's still active. How arrogant, he's the criminal behind these kidnappings and bombings and whatever and he's nonchalantly posting on DCW!!!"

"Really?" murmured Chelsea, scrolling down the page as Aeyra handed her the iTouch. "The top opinion here is that we all got bored of DCW- that can't be true! They should know us better than that."

"And look at Mark, he's suggesting we all got into danger as a group and joking about trying to find us. This- this-" Aeyra sighed, drawing her hand down her face as she sat down. "I can't believe him...."

LOLOLOLOLOL...I can totally imagine him doing that.

I just thought of an awesome twist to the story...

------

Aeyra looked towards IdentityUnknown. "Pyre, what's wrong? You haven't commented on any of this."

IdentityUnknown simply stared at her blankly, then regained composure. "Nothing...but my name's not Pyre..."

Chelsea snorted. "Of course it is! Pyre, Jean, Kaichou, IdentityUnknown, IU, those are all your names on DCW! You may be trying to keep a cover and everything, but we KNOW it's you. What other reason would Mark have to bring you here? We're all DCW members!!!"

IdentityUnknown blinked. "Sure. Yeah. Um...sure."

KKLT looked at IdentityUnknown oddly. "Are you alright? You've been acting weird ever since we found you..."

"Yeah, I'm fine," IdentityUnknown said briskly. "Now, about this Mark person..."

There was suddenly a fierce ringing coming from IdentityUnknown's back pocket. She took a cellphone out and glanced at the number, turning pale as she did so. "Shit," she whispered and went further into the forest.

Cure-kun's brow furrowed. "Why does she have a phone on her?" he murmured. "Wouldn't Mark have taken it? He definitely took mine..."

Monsi's eyes widened. "You don't think..." Aeyra cut him off. "Mark would be smarter than to call at this time. It's definitely Pyre..."

"H, WHAT THE HE** DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!?!?!" came an all-too-familiar voice from the forest. All the DCW members turned to look. "I TOLD YOU TO STAY OUT OF THIS, I SWEAR, IF YOU GET SHOT LIKE C DID -- GET OUT OF THERE NOW AND TELL ME WHERE YOU ARE!!!"

IdentityUnknown winced and looked at the others. "Calm down Jean," she said into the phone. "I'm still at the forest with your...um...friends."

"CALM DOWN?! YOU EXPECT ME TO CALM DOWN WHEN ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS HAS BEEN SHOT IN THE LEG AND THE OTHER HAS DISGUISED HERSELF AS ME IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION?!?! GOSH, H, I TOLD YOU TO STAY PUT! I KNEW IF C TOLD YOU ABOUT WHAT HAD HAPPENED YOU WOULD DO SOMETHING!"

"Jean, there's nothing big to it. You know we look similar, it was just a matter of..." "I don't care how difficult it was to disguise as me, H. But...tell me...you didn't drag M in here, did you?"

"Um..."

There was a loud sigh from the other end. "Fine. Get her to pick you up quickly. I'll come to the forest and you stay with C. And that's an order, H. I don't want you getting in this any deeper."

There was a click and the girl on the other end (whom they now knew was the real IdentityUnknown) hung up. The fake IdentityUnknown sighed and shut the phone, looking mildly impressed. "That's the first time she's actually gotten that mad at me," she chuckled.

Monsi stood up. "You have some explaining to do."

The fake IdentityUnknown shrugged and took out two contacts, revealing light brown eyes. Taking a handkerchief, she wiped some makeup off her face. She smiled, as if relieved to be looking like herself again. "Hi, I'm Jean's friend, H."

------

H and C are two of my best friends...H is all action and adventure, C is mostly intellect, resources, and (of course) makeup. M is another good friend of mine, though less close. And in case you didn't know, H and C somehow found me in the forest and took me back while having H replace me. Just something to have fun with.

Dang, it's been a while!

Anyways:

Mark was in probably the best mood in months. All his agents have reported success, and soon the whole city would be covered in complete hellfire.

Meanwhile, he was in the airport. Holding a ticket for Business Class.

Destination: Canada.

"It's time to end this. The branches have been seared off. Now to tear out the root.

You're going to get Maurice involve in this? That's honestly my only explanation for you going to Canada...

A short piece from me before I go...

------

IdentityUnknown had calmed down by the time she got back to the forest. H had gone and the DCW members were discussing what to do next.

"Let's all get in the bus," Monsi said. "we can discuss everything there."

IdentityUnknown interrupted them. "We're getting in three different vehicles. A bus full of people who have recently been kidnapped draws too much unwanted attention. C has three inconspicuous bulletproof cars for us and..."

Her phone rang and IdentityUnknown picked it up. "What is it, C?" she asked. "This better be urgent."

IdentityUnknown listened, then grimaced. "I see," she said into the phone. "Keep tracking. And book us tickets. The next flight, if possible."

"Wait," Aeyra said, "where are we going? And what's C doing?"

"I asked her to get people to keep tabs on our friend, the kidnapper," IdentityUnknown said as she put away her phone. "Her father is well connected so she got people to work for the past few hours in search of clues. They made a breakthrough. Which means we're going where he's going."

"Why don't you just say his name?" Lia inquired. "You've been calling him the kidnapper this entire time. Isn't saying Mark much simpler?"

IdentityUnknown's face was blank. "I have my reasons," she said. "Now let's go. We have a plane to catch."

------

Feel free to use C's resources. She has plenty.

[Aeyra 260]

"I feel so nervous here on the plane," murmured Aeyra to Chelsea, staring nervously out the window.

"Why?"

"What if he decided to take down this plane? How the heck would we escape it? And why are we, we're teenagers for heaven's sake, chasing after him when we've already got authorities tracking him? That I just find weird."

"Don't you want to end it yourself?"

"Yeah, but sometimes it feels like too much. I'm probably overthinking things like usual. I just don't like situations where I'm unprotected like this."

"Don't worry!" replied Chelsea, looking smug. "Even he couldn't sneak weaponry onto a plane! Wherever he's going, as long as we can get to him before he finds his croonies, he'll be utterly defenseless!"

*******

Moho, as said above, it's impossible for you to sabotage our trip, so don't even try.

You're a betrayer!!!!!!! >__< lol I think I understood your intentions now

[tengaku squared 291]

"Damn, this is too easy."

Zach was already in Canada, keeping his eye...and his missile launcher on the apporoaching plane.

"Too bad, Mark. Guess it looks like you're the loose end this time."

====================

Mark was scratching the armrests restlessly. "Something's nothing right. This operation wasn't well planned out. Not only that, but Zach's ambigous call..." He silently got up, and walked over to the exit. "Just maybe..."

Of course, his thought was interrupted by a loud BOOM, and the sudden drop in altitude...

A new thought came within the panic. "Where were they?!" He rushed down the aisle, past fainted passengers while trying to stay awake, until he found Aeyra and Chelsea, passed out.

Despite the situation, he couldn't help but smile. "I can get off...but am I really worth it? These girls deserve life more than I do." He shrugged off the parachute, tied it to the two girls, and dragged them towards the door.

"I can't feel my legs..." he thought in desperation. He blindly grasped for the door, and with his last burst of strength, tore the door open and threw the two girls out into the air.

"I never wanted this. I never wanted to kidnap Jean, or threaten the DCW members...I just hope...they can find him..." He looked up, and was greeted by a warm, bathing light. "So...this is how death...feels...like..." and his body fainted of pure stress.

Yes, I died. Don't revive me.

HUH?! O__O what was that?!

[tengaku squared 291]

HUH?! O__O what was that?!

Zach attacked the plane, I had a change of heart, saved Aeyra and Chelsea.

(Just pretend Aya and Chelsea were on the same plane as me, and the rest were on a later plane)

You had a... Change of heart... Is what I'm asking o.O

[IdentityUnknown 216]

"Hey, IU, shouldn't they have arrived by now?" Cure-kun asked.

IdentityUnknown turned to him with a look of mild exasperation. "I told you, I'm not IU or Pyre or Kaichou or Jean. But yes, they should've arrived and they definitely should've called by now."

Misaki-chan looked at her. "Yes, you've said that but you won't tell us your name either. So we're stickin with what we originally called you."

IdentityUnknown sighed. C had only been able to book two seats for the first flight, which Aeyra and Chelsea had taken, so the rest of them were at the airport. They had promised they'd call...surely they hadn't forgotten?

Suddenly her phone rang. IdentityUnknown sighed in relief when she saw it was Aeyra. "Aeyra," she said. "You got there safely?"

"N...Not quite..." Aeyra murmured softly.

"What do you mean?"

"We were attacked."

IdentityUnknown's heart began to pound. "Any casualties?"

"Chelsea and I survived. One other person made it off. But the rest..."

Suddenly the news on the TV was interrupted by live news, talking about a plane crash near the US/Canada border, shot down by some kind or missile. The one other survivor, an attendant, was telling how they were saved.

"It was pure panic. Planes aren't equipped for missiles and we only had one parachute. In the frnzy, I was the only one who was calm enough to think. I could tell giving a passenger the parachute was useless since they didn't know how to use it so I strapped it on. As I was preparing to jump out, I saw an Asia boy, about 17 or 18, tie two girls together and throw them out with a differen parachute. It was incredible! Then he...he fainted and I jumped."

IdentityUnknown listened to the broadcast in horror, a bad feeling deep in her gut. That Asian boy...it couldn't be...?

"We have identified who is most likely to be this Asian boy," the woman announced. "His name is Mark..."

IdentityUnknown didn't hear the rest of the broadcast. Later on she was told by a solemn Cure-kun that Aeyra and Chelsea had had enough sense to disappear before any questioning was done. But all she could really think about was that Mark was gone...gone forever.

------

There. Finished.

[tengaku squared 291]

I'm pretending I'm on the same plane as you. And I know this is literally impossible, but leave your icebox questions for later, alright?

------

"Damn you Baka," IdentityUnknown cursed under her breath. Did he really think she was completely unprepared?

Thanking her lucky stars that C had been considerate, IdentityUnknown reached into her backpack and quickly pulled on a harness. It was hard to breathe but she'd manage. Scuba diving and mountain climbing did help. She strapped the extra one onto Mark. She had expected something bad to happen when she boarded, but hadn't expected this.

"Here goes nothing." With that, she jumped out.

She was blindly falling, but had enough of her senses to wait before pulling the lever to let the parachute out. Slowly, their descent began to slow. The air was extremely thin and IdentityUnknown was constantly checking Mark's breathing (he was out cold). She herself was panting.

Mark obviously hadn't planned his, or he would have an escape route. But if he didn't plan it, then who did?

------

Wow Mark. You made your brother the villain now?

Didn't I mention not to revive me, aka. save me? I killed myself for a reason, you know.

[IdentityUnknown 216]

Didn't I mention not to revive me, aka. save me? I killed myself for a reason, you know.

No you didn't. But if you like you can pretend you died when you got to the bottom.

[tengaku squared 291]

No you didn't. But if you like you can pretend you died when you got to the bottom.

Should be in there. Check my part of the story again.

[IdentityUnknown 216]

You added that later. But alright. Gimme a moment to fix that.
