AN: Sorry for the delay I've been busy – I'll also update Ariel of the night as soon as I start writing down the chapter right.

Last time an invitation to a famous rocker's home turns dark when Angel and Yui were abducted and taken to Nuke York.

How terrified the corrector must've been to wake up and find herself and her new friend prisoners.

"Let me out of here you can't do this!" Yui shouted pounding the door and doing everything she could to get out, "Help! Help! Someone help me out!"

Just outside the room she heard Angel demand: "Just how long does Mok think he can keep us here?"

"Picnic time for little girls..." Zip's voice says in a sing-song tone.

"This is what I think of your picnic!"

There was the sound of glass breaking. And Sleazy 's voice saying: "Okay, that's it, you're gonna stay here for a long time!"

Next the door slides open, surprising her, and she could see Zip and Sleazy carrying Angel between them by her arms.

"Keep your flippers off me!"

And she was currently thrown on a couch.

"Stuff it, pinheads!" Angel snapped at the closing door.

"Yeah buzz off jerks!"

"You got it sisters!" a voice agreed with them.

Angel and Yui looked around. Where did that come from?

"Cinderella knows what you're talking about!"

One of the air vents in the room, bursts open revealing legs, roller-skates and a winged heart tattoo... After some effort, the top half of a buxom girl pops out and she lands bum-first.

She was as tall, with blond hair in pigtails and had a few features of the Schlepper siblings.

"Sometimes those brothers of mine really burn my buns too." The girl, the other women assumed her name was Cinderella, griped "They keep this place locked up tighter than a hummingbird's tweet. By the way doll, who're you two? Mok's new ladyfriends?"

"Whoa! New ladyfriend? Not even!" Yui said with disgust.

There was no chance in the Underworld she'd ever find that creep attractive! She didn't even want to know him or have anything else to do with him after he kidnapped her and her new friend!

Carefully Angel elbows Yui, this could be their chance to get away. "Yeah, I guess so but, uh, hey, it don't make life any easier."

"Cindy knows what you're talking about. They just don't understand us new women. After all, every now and then a girl's gotta get out and dance, catch my drift?" Cinderella nodded.

"Gotcha, doll." replied Angel, "Hey, if you're talking about walking, what's the scoop?"

Yui catching on adds, "Uh, yeah! What's the word?"

"No sweat! I just slide down the chute and away I scoot!" Cindy said, lifting the couch and placing it under the air vent. "I do it every Saturday night! Let's go!"

The other two girls step onto the couch. Cindy then jumped on one side, rocketing Angel and Yui up into the vent. Cindy then bounces and follows up.


Inside the air vents it was dark but Yui was able to see Angel and Cindy's faces every so often by the lights from underneath.

"I have to be back in bed by twelve o'clock. That's when Toad checks in on me." Cindy remarks.

"Aw, that's too bad toots, but never mind. With your funk and my spunk, we don't need much time to find some real hot action!" smiled Angel.

Cindy turned to look at her, "Hey, you're a little dated for one of Mok's, you know what I mean?"

Angel and Yui look alarmed, did they just get busted?

However Cindy just nods and turns back, "But that's okay. Just keep your lips zipped and stick with Cindy. We're on our way to the Twilight Zone! Y'know, it's just like Toad says: 'There's wackos out there just waiting for a for sweet young things like you.' So let's go for it!"

Both girls sighed in relief.

Cindy falls down a air chute. The other two girls follow, making some noise.

Once down one level, Angel crawls over an airvent, and overhears Mok's voice.

"I've found the voice. I've got not one, but two worthy candidates."

Behind Angel, Yui stops and listens in too. Candidates? The voice? For what?

Right below them, they could see Mok at a computer terminal, a huge mass of brain, hooked up to life support and cybernetics, readouts and such. He was dressed in a full red body suit with gloves and wore goggles.

"Understood." replied the computer, "The Armageddon Key has now been fully decoded. Stand by for data transmission. According to the Key, the girl must sing this progression of musical notes. The vibrations of her voice will create a doorway through which this being will enter this dimension."

"Ah yes. My beast; their nightmare."

While Angel appeared stone-faced, Yui's stomach lurched at what she was hearing.

"That doesn't sound good." IR remarks.

"All mine, for a song! And then, nothing can stop me!" Mok cried triumphantly.

"Tough shape, Mok. You can be stopped." interrupted the computer. "There is a force which can send the being back."

"Send it back? What? Where? Who?"

"The being can be sent back by the magic of one voice, one heart, one song."

Yui frowns thoughtfully. One voice, one heart, one song? What does it mean?

"Magic? Magic, shmagic! 'One voice, one heart, one song,' gibberish, garbage! Who is this person?"

"Individual's identity presently unavailable. Search will start now. Now checking, now checking, now checking. . ."

"Grrr. Who can stop me? Is it the girl?"

Angel gasps, but Cindy covers her mouth.

"You two bumming out on me?" asked the buxom girl.

Yui quickly shook her head. Her throat was too dry for her to speak.

"No way." answered Angel.

"Okay then, let's get out of here before we get caught." Cindy said sharply.

"Just keep going Angel." Yui reassured the older girl.

Angel reluctantly crawls away from the vent. Yui crawls slowly after her just in time to hear the rest.

"According to the Key, the being can be sent back by the magic –"

"I know, I know, 'one voice one heart one song'," snapped Mok's voice, "But who is it?"

"No one. No one can send it back." The computer replied ominously.

"No one?" Yui whispered meekly from her spot.

"No one? No such person? Then the beast is mine!"

Up in the air vent, Yui cringed "I gotta get outta here!"


Quickly, she followed the other down the chute and they ended up in the back alley behind Radio City Music Hall.

"We're in the clear." Cinderella said happily, then beckons the other two girls over. "Come on dolls, let's score a cab!"

"Right behind ya ...heh." Angel said unsurely.

Yui swallowed hard, "Yeah, likewise."

In the futuristic city, there were flying cars, the air is thick and dirty and the buildings are wreckage that nobody destroyed, just built over.

Yet this all meant little to Yui at the moment, for she and Angel were concerned about escaping than sightseeing.

As they passed, she could someone's radio with a DJ announcing: "It's a sunny 68 out in the sun, but in our city it's acid showers so button up and don't forget your goggles. You heard it here first: Mok the Magic Man has announced he's coming out of seclusion with a surprise concert at Carnegie Hall! Tickets go on sale at noon for his triumphant Beauty and the Beast concert, 'the show to end all shows.'..."

The girl with curly wheat hair blinked. So that's how he was going to do it: through one of his concerts. And she had to find her friends before something else happens. Now if that club has a phone or something she can use for communication.
