Chapter 3: Veradona

If you've ever fallen through a seemingly bottomless hole so dark that you couldn't even see your hand if it was right in front of your face, holding a giant flashing neon sign playing freaky carnival music and saying, in bright green letters, LOOK HERE!, you'll know it isn't very fun.

"You're a psychic, Eowyn! You couldn't have seen this coming?" Joey yelled to his cousin, wherever she happened to be.

"You know I can't get a vision whenever I want!" Eowyn yelled in Joey's ear. So that's where she was. Right next to him. Figures. That's the funny thing about falling in a giant, pitch black hole. The person you're yelling to/at always seems to be right there.

"Ow." Said Joey. You couldn't blame him. Eowyn was a loud yeller.

"Is anybody else getting the feeling that we're going to land soon?" Massie asked in a worried tone.

Mira nodded, and then remembered that Massie couldn't see her. "Yea." She added, trying to trace her friend's voice through the darkness. She almost succeeded, but suddenly found her concentration broken. That tends to happen when you slam into the ground. Judging from various grunts, groans, and other sounds of pain, everybody else had experienced the same unfortunate incident.

Well, not everybody. The lights cut on, and the first thing Kaiba noticed was that Glory was telekinetically levitating herself a few feet above the floor, looking at them with only the slightest hint of an amused smile playing about her lips. "Nice landing, losers." He probably would've responded with a not-so-pleasant comeback, but at that moment, a set of doors opened on the far side of the room.

"Well, if it isn't our little fugitives. And, oh, look! They brought friends!"

"Veradona." Joey growled, as he and the others got to their feet. Veradona, and, yes, that was her name, had walked in. She had ankle-length white hair streaked in every color of the rainbow and wore a black suit, like everyone else who worked for the Organization seemed to. In fact, three other Organization members entered behind her, all wearing black suits. So cliché. Their hair, however, was much more normal.

"Vera-who?" Kaiba asked, confused. Again.

"She works for the Organization." Massie told him.

"No kidding!" Seto snapped at the redhead. Well, he had asked.

"Now, now, I can't have you fighting each other. That takes all the fun out of it for me." Veradona said. Suddenly, she pulled four green bands from her pocket, hurling them towards Massie, Glory, and the twins. Each band locked almost magnetically onto one of their arms, and, to her great surprise, Glory suddenly crashed to the floor, landing on her knees, black hair falling in front of her face.

"Power Neutralizers." She growled, curling her right hand into a fist.

"I'd expect more from you four." Veradona smiled one of those creepy grins that let you know that you are most certainly in deep trouble. "Especially you, Glory. One of the first people ever to escape and what do you do? You come right back."

"I made a promise." The telekinetic snarled, standing up and getting in Veradona's face.

"Oh, did you, now?" Veradona smirked, unfazed. "Oh, that's right, I remember. And we all know how Glory Mataconis is about her promises, don't we? So noble. So trustworthy. So-,"

"Shut up!" Glory howled, fist flying suddenly towards Veradona's face. Still unaffected, the Organization member caught her fist and casually tossed her attacker over her shoulder. Glory flipped expertly, landing on her feet.

"Excellent landing." Veradona said, calm and confident as ever. "Unfortunately, you're entirely too predictable. Otherwise I might actually get a small challenge from fighting you."

"THAT'S IT!" Glory yelled, anger turning her face red.

"Easy, Glory." Massie walked over, placing her hand gently on her friend's shoulder. "Don't waste your time on her. She doesn't deserve it." Nodding, the telekinetic slowly clamed herself down.

"That's right, Glory. Listen to Masselyn. She's obviously the only one with brains here." Veradona sneered. "All right, enough of this." She suddenly glowed a shade of greenish-blue and four bands of…something shot from her palms, one grabbing each of the super powered girls. Massie, Eowyn, Glory, and Miracle all struggled, but to no avail. Glaring murderously at her captor, Glory stood still, strangely, and breathed deeply. A sudden pulse of something erupting from her body disintegrated the magical bond holding her.

Meanwhile, because nobody would sit there and just watch this, Joey charged towards Veradona. What do you expect? He's Joey. Once again easily catching the punch thrown at her, Veradona rolled her eyes and glowed that same shade of blue-green. It happened whenever she used her powers. For what looked like no reason at all, Joey dropped to his knees, letting out a loud cry of pain.

"I figured as much." Veradona snickered, dragging Joey up by the wrist. "You couldn't figure out how to get it off, could you?" She pushed back the sleeve of his jacket, revealing a band on his wrist that was almost identical to the Power Neutralizers, however, it being a Power Neutralizer would be just stupid, considering that he wasn't "Gifted". The difference in appearance was that this one was more blue than the others. Also, the others had pure green circle on them and his didn't. The uses of the bands were also different.

Poor Kaiba and Yugi. They had basically no clue as to what was going on.

Now back to Glory. Having broken free of Veradona's magic rope, for want of a better term, she cleared her throat loudly, getting everyone's attention. "Hey, Veradona! I'm not finished with you yet."

"Honestly, Glory, I'd love to thrash you, but The Boss says we're to leave you and the other Gifted people as unharmed as possible. However, he didn't say anything about the Un-Gifted friends you've brought along." She narrowed her eyes and tightened her grip symbolically on Joey's wrist. Joey gave an involuntary pained whimper, which normally would've had anyone else yelling at Veradona not to hurt him, that'd she back down, et cetera.

Glory, however, laughed. How sympathetic. "Really, Veradona? Do you think I care about that pathetic little-,"

"Glory!" Eowyn gasped, still struggling against the magic rope.

"He's our cousin!" Mira added, doing the same as her sister.

Sighing, Glory frowned. "Fine!" she snapped to everyone in the room, and then directed her next statement to the twins. "Do you two have to be so sickeningly emotional?"

"It's not being sickeningly emotional!" Mira told her friend, sounding shocked and insulted. "It's called caring about your family!"

"Oh. Sorry." Glory said, not sounding sorry. "I wouldn't know. I've never had a family to care about."

"Glory, we're-," Eowyn began, only to be cut off by the angry black-haired girl.

"Oh, save it. I don't need some stupid friendship speech. I need to be able to beat the you-know-what out of this jerk without having to stop so some random loser doesn't get hurt."

"Are you done?" asked Veradona. Glory didn't answer; just shot the rainbow-haired teenager a look of pure hate. "Ooh, I'm so scared." She mocked, rolling her eyes spitefully. The doors behind her opened. Veradona flung Joey towards the group, and then she and the three normal-haired Organization members walked out. "Have fun!" she smirked, and the doors closed, sealing instantly.

"DANG IT!" Glory yelled, then screamed. Yes, I know screaming and yelling are pretty much the same thing. However, Glory yelled the Dang it! and then she just plain screamed. You know, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" That.

"Glory, chill out!" Massie, whose real name was apparently "Masselyn", told the black-haired girl loudly.

"No, I will not chill out! I could've beaten her, and we could all have gotten out of here, but, no! I have to worry about this useless moron over here!" she gestured to Joey, who Yugi was currently helping up. "And I wouldn't have had to worry about him in the first place if he wasn't too stupid to figure out how to get that idiotic Shock Bracelet off!"

"Hold up!" Joey interjected. Glory whirled around to glare angrily at him. It was a pretty scary look, but, by some miracle, Joey was able to ignore it. Trust me when I say that that was not an easy thing to do. "Massie, Eowyn, and Mira all tried to get the Shock Bracelet, too! So I can't be that stupid if-,"

"WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST ASK MYA!?!?" Glory shrieked. Massie, the twins, and Joey all froze, because none of them had thought of that. "YOU IDIOTS! HOW COULD YOU NOT THINK OF SOMETHING THAT OBVIOUS? HOW-?"

"That's enough, Glory." Massie said, suddenly. Kaiba rolled his eyes, thinking that there was no way the headstrong, arrogant, unruly telekinetic would listen to her. But, lo and behold! Glory stopped midsentence, breathing out slowly.

"All right. But if I have to deal with Wheeler's stupidity much longer…" she curled her fingers into a fist, making it painfully obvious what she would do.

"Yea, she is." Eowyn said. Everyone looked at her in confusion. "What? I was-oh. You thought that, didn't you, Kaiba?"

"Yes." Seto correctly assumed that she was talking about the question he'd just asked in his head: Is she always like this?

"All right, here's the plan." Massie declared loudly. "First, we find a way out of here. Next we find Mya and Mokuba, and get Mya to remove our Power Neutralizers and Joey's Shock Bracelet-,"

"What exactly is a Shock Bracelet?" Yugi asked, his concern for his friend completely obvious.

"Okay. Not many people use Shock Bracelets, but what they are is this thin little band linked somehow to a button or a switch or something for normal people, but for Gifted people like Veradona, their linked to your DNA. Or something, I'm not 100% sure." Miracle explained. "And, see, once someone's wearing one that's 'registered' to her, all Veradona has to do is give up the tiniest bit of her life force, I guess is the best way to put it, which somehow transfers the energy from that to the Shock Bracelet, which causes said bracelet to, somehow, automatically administer a shock to whoever's wearing the bracelet, and how powerful the shock is depends on how much of their life energy or whatever the person transfers. Or something."

Kaiba blinked in confusion and decided not to ask for a more detailed explanation. Instead, he decided to ask a different question of his own."So, how do we plan on getting out of here?"

"Can we throw Wheeler against the wall until it cracks?" Glory asked hopefully.

"No." Eowyn, Massie, Yugi, Joey, and Mira all said at the same time. Kaiba didn't say anything.

"If only we could use our powers…" Mira groaned. "But, without Mya, we can't get these bracelets off."

"So we're stuck here." Glory pessimistically pointed out.

"We are not." Massie said stubbornly. "We'll get out of here. Somehow…"


Oh, no! Whatever shall they do? Whatever shall we do until the next chapter comes out? OH! I KNOW! WE SHALL WAIT UNTIL IT ARRIVES! IT SHALL BE PUBLISHED BY 4/14/09! In the meantime, we shall just sit and wonder what they shall do, what Glory means by never having a family to care about, how they shall get out, if Glory ever gets to throw Joey at anything, and why I am using the word "shall" so much. It's such a cool word. Shall, shall, shall, rhymes with canal, pal, and the epic computer HAL! You know, HAL 9000...has anyone here ever heard of 2001: A Space Oddesy? I hope so. Anyway...READ AND REVIEW! BY READ I MEAN THE NEXT CHAPTER WHEN IT COMES OUT! BY REVIEW MEAN...what else would I mean by review? Okay! I'm done!
