Twenty Sixth
Date: 26/10/2010
World: 446657p7
Era: Current
Lucas Murphy laid on the bed of the hotel he and his friends were staying in, after receiving word of kidnappings taking place in the area they decided to investigate but after five days they had found nothing out. Over twenty kids had disappeared over the past week leading up to Halloween, their age range seemed to be from four to eighteen yet that was the only thing they had in common.
Lucas felt that it was odd as to how they all vanished without a trace, someone clever had to behind it with good resources but he wondered who. Lucas grew tired as someone threw a bag at his head, it took him by surprise and he jumped up to see Sakura standing at the end of the bed.
"Come on lazy, get up, don't expect us to do all the work" said Sakura.
"I know, I was just resting my eyes" said Lucas.
"You have used better excuses then that before" said Sakura.
"I know, I must be getting old" said Lucas.
Lucas opened up the bag inside was a picture of a young girl who had been reported missing, it was the same with the others who had disappeared.
"Another one huh" said Lucas.
"Yes...whose doing this?" asked Sakura.
"No idea, but we going to stop it" said Lucas.
It seemed that the number of missing had now escalated to twenty one kids making this and even more serious affair. Lucas knew that he had to have a look at the place where the kid had disappeared and so he grabbed his fake I.D. card and walked out of the room with Sakura. The two of them walked out of the hotel and down the street to the scene of the crime. As Lucas had suspected their were police cars everywhere looking for the missing girl. It seemed like she had disappeared within an ally way on her way home, Lucas then saw Mint holding Pan and Joy who were trying to be stuffed animals and Snow who was talking to an officer. Sakura and Lucas quickly joined up with them as the officer eyed them.
"Who are these brats?" asked the officer.
"We're part of a team investigating this matter" said Sakura.
"If your cops then I am Mickey Mouse" said the officer.
"Here" said Lucas as he practically shoved the id in the officer's face.
The officer looked at the I.D before nodding his head.
"Alright" he said.
"So what have you found Mickey? asked Lucas.
"Nothing, nothing at all, it is like she just vanished into thin air and my name is Jenkins, Officer Jenkins" he said.
"Syaoran and Amu are having a look at the area where she disappeared now, hopefully they'll find something" said Mint.
"Anyway we're in command now, no way in hell are we going to let this guy get away with this" said Snow.
"Of course but really this is all just a waste of time" said Officer Jenkins.
"What?" questioned Lucas.
"We have nothing, she is probably dead by now anyway so let's chalk this one up as a loss and go home already, I'm missing my dinner" said Officer Jenkins.
"A girl is missing and all you care about is your dinner" said Snow disgusted.
"There is no point in doing anything now, it is all pointless now that she is dead" said Officer Jenkins.
"Have you found her body?" asked Lucas.
"No, not yet" said Officer Jenkins.
"Then she is not dead, don't be so quick to give up on someone without physical proof" said Lucas.
"Idiot, face reality will you" said Officer Jenkins.
Syaoran then came running out and walked over to Lucas and the others.
"Lucas, good to see you up" said Syaoran.
"Save it, what have you found?" asked Lucas.
"First I want all of the cops out of the area" said Syaoran.
"What, why the hell do you want to get rid of us?" asked Officer Jenkins.
"Because we're in charge now move your ass" said Lucas.
The officer exchanged a few foul words before ordering all of the police out of the area, Syaoran then lead them down the ally to the spot where the girl had vanished. Amu was there holding Ran Miki and Su, all three of them seemed to be unconscious and seemed like they were in pain.
"Alright, now Sakura use a card, any card" said Syaoran.
"Okay" said Sakura confused.
Sakura summoned her wand which took longer then usual and then tapped a card then shouted out it's name but nothing happened, for some reason the card when a sound which made it seem as it it had been hit by lightning or something. Snow tried to summon but that did not work and so Lucas tried to call Bahamut but that also failed.
"What the hell" said Lucas.
"It is as I thought, however it is only at this spot" said Syaoran.
"Huh" said Amu.
"I see what it is you are getting at, but why?" questioned Lucas.
"That is a good question" said Syaoran.
"What is it?" asked Snow.
"All our magic or anything related to magic doesn't work in this spot, as soon as Ran, Miki and Su entered this area they became really sick and my magic wouldn't work, now look at Sakura's wand" said Syaoran.
He was right, Sakura's wand then started to decrees in size until it was a key again which was odd as Sakura didn't dismiss it and she couldn't get it to work again.
"Pan and Joy do you know anything?" asked Snow.
Pan and Joy just continued to act like stuffed animals.
"You don't have to act like toys any more, no one is around" said Lucas.
"Sorry, no I have no idea what is going on, nothing should be able to mess with my gauntlets" said Pan.
"But I do have a weird feeling in this place as well, it's this sort of spooky feeling" said Joy.
"I'll scan the area" said Pan.
Pan did as she said and scanned the area, as she did pints then appeared, large hands appeared all over the wall and on the floor was scratches as if something had been dragged to the wall. After Pan stopped scanning the area they disappeared however a pentagram then appeared in the wall, it seemed to be carved into it.
"What is that?" asked Mint.
"I...have seen that before somewhere, but I can't remember where" said Pan.
"At least we now know that the kidnappers are of another world, let's report to the others at the usually place" said Lucas.
Several hours later
The group members who could make it gathered around a table outside a restaurant and discussed what they had found. Of the group members only Rita, Aigis and Train joined them, the others were busy looking for clues.
"So everyone else is checking the area of disappearance for the other kids?" asked Lucas.
"Duh, that is what I said, you need to listen more" said Rita.
"At the most recent crime scene, there was a pentagram on the wall, we think it might be a part of this" said Mint.
"We also we unable to use magic around the area they disappeared, Ran, Miki and Su are resting at the hotel, I'm not sure what but something took a lot of energy out of them" said Amu.
"That's bizarre, anyway have you noticed how odd it is that no one is around" said Train.
He was right, the area was completely deserted, no one was around no matter where they looked, Lucas then checked his watch, it was nearly midnight.
"It's nearly midnight besides with what is going on people are scared that they might be next" said Lucas.
"You have a point there" said Snow.
"Twenty one children have vanished, why, what's the point?" questioned Aigis.
"All vanished in the same away, it is safe to assume that it is the same person and who ever it is has come from another world like us" said Train.
"But why do this?" questioned Lucas.
The group rattled their heads but came up with nothing, they decided to call it a night and began to walk home however not two feet away from the restaurant a brown haired girl bumped into Lucas and they both went flying. The girl was dressed in a school uniform and had to be about Lucas' age she had long brown hair and green eyes and was huffing and puffing. Lucas pulled himself off the floor before turning to the girl.
"What's the big idea" said Lucas.
"Oh thank god" said the girl.
"Come again" said Rita.
"These people have been stalking me and chasing me all day" said the girl.
"These people...?" said Lucas.
Lucas turned his head to see an army of weird cultist like people in horrific animal like masks.
"Whoa, where the hell did they come from" said Lucas.
"I didn't notice them before" said Sakura.
"Which is odd, they're pretty hard to miss with those outfits" said Rita.
"Witnesses" said one of the freaks.
"What" said Snow
"Take the girl, kill the others" said the leader.
"Whoa wait, just what the heck is going on here" said Amu.
"Please don't let them take me" said the girl as she got to her feet and cowered behind Lucas.
Lucas nodded his head as he readied his fists for a fight.
"She doesn't want to go with you so get lost you freaks" said Lucas.
The freaks just laughed and pulled out some large knives that looked like they were used in some kind of ritual, each freak had one and was prepared to attack them with it.
"Oh crap" said Lucas.
"You just had to open your mouth didn't you" said Rita.
They got ready for a fight as the bell hit twelve.
Who is this mysterious girl and what is up with these freaks that have suddenly appeared, what happened to the kidnapped children, will our heroes ever solve the mystery or is this the end, find out as Halloween approaches.
