Chapter 1

It was a beautiful day at the beach. The sun was shining brightly and the girls could hear the waves from the ocean hitting the shore.

"Hurry! We're already late! Let's try not to make the others too mad!" Leifang called to Kasumi. They were sharing a hotel room in Seabreeze Cottage at New Zack Island. Although this was only their third trip to the island, many of the girls were familiar with almost every inch of the place. They had also never seen any girls besides Nikki and them and any guys except Zack. Well, there were the people that worked at the stores and that delivered gifts they might receive, but other than that, it was just them.

"Okay, I'm ready!" Kasumi yelled as she ran out the door to their hotel room, slamming it closed. Kasumi was wearing her hair up in a braid tied by a yellow ribbon from Leifang. Kasumi was also wearing a light pink bikini and no shoes. Leifang was wearing her favorite yellow flower swimsuit and matching flip-flops.

The girls ran to a lush green forest on part of New Zack Island. They had made a plan to meet Hitomi and Kokoro there at eight this morning.

"We're here!" the girls yelled, running to the volleyball net where they expected to see the other two girls, but no one was there.

"Maybe they're running late" Kasumi suggested.

"Hitomi doesn't usually run late" Leifang said. The two girls looked around that area to make sure the others weren't nearby, but they still didn't see them. Leifang and Kasumi decided to climb a nearby tree to keep themselves entertained.

After half an hour of waiting, the girls decided to head over to the hotel that Hitomi and Kokoro were staying at, the Gemstone Suite.

"Hi" they greeted the person sitting at the front desk of the hotel.

"Good morning ladies" the lady said.

"Can you tell us what room Kokoro and Hitomi are staying in?"

"Sure, but you won't find them in there. They left about half an hour ago. I thought they were supposed to be meeting up with both of you?" the lady informed them.

"Okay, well thanks anyway" the girls said, running out of the hotel, worried.

After searching all over the island and asking everyone they came across, Kasumi and Leifang realized that Hitomi and Kokoro were missing.

"Where are they? What happened to them?" Kasumi asked Leifang.

"I don't know" Leifang said, "but I'm sure it can't be good."

While the girls all over the island were searching for Hitomi and Kokoro, Hitomi and Kokoro were sitting gagged and blindfolded. They couldn't move or stop the man that had kidnapped them.

"Promise not to scream when I take these off, okay?" he said. The only response the girls could give was a nod of their heads. When he saw this, he removed the bonds. The girls saw the man standing in front of them. He was dressed all in black and was wearing a hood, so they couldn't see his face.

"Who are you and what do you want with us?" Hitomi asked.

As the man spoke, he removed the hood, revealing who he was. "My name is Marth and I need your help" he said.

"Why didn't you just ask?" Kokoro inquired.

"I was afraid you might say no and no isn't really an option" Marth said.

"Untie us and maybe we'll help you" Hitomi said. Marth listened and untied them.

"So, what's the problem?" both of the girls asked at the same time.

"My brother Roy has been taken somewhere and I can't find him anywhere. I need your help to find him. Rumors are saying that you have faced this enemy before, but I haven't. Will you help?" he pleaded.

"We'll be back with an answer" Kokoro said before Hitomi and her took off for New Zack Island. They ran off so fast that Marth couldn't stop them.

"Great" Marth said to himself. 'Don't worry Roy, I'll find you soon."
