The lights came back on and one assassin was missing... Kiyama Hiroto.
"They have got Hiroto. We have to go find him!" Yuki exclaimed.
"This time we aren't taking any risk. Shuuya and I will provide the light if their is another blackout" Angel said as her and Gouenji's fist inflamed
"But won't that give us away?" Rui asked. "Yeah, I think we should keep our name as Shadow killers and move in the shadows and kill" Ann stated and they all agreed and walked in the shadows. After a few minutes of walking in silence, Yuki stopped walking. 'Do you hear that?' She asked. Everyone stopped walking to listen. "Cries of pain..." Daiki stated.
"Isn't that Hiroto's voice?" Manami asked. Everyone gulped. Elle grabbed her sword. "I'm going to check it out." She said, and before anyone could stop her, she was already dashing down the hallways. 'Elle wait! It's too dangerous!" Angel yelled, but Elle was already gone.
Manami blinked. ''I'll go and check it out. The ninjas already know that we're here, so you have to finish our mission fast, we'll catch up with you." With that, Manami ran away, to the place where they heard yells.
Manami looked around her. This was the place. She stopped outside the door. She heard voices. 'What are you up to, Alex?" Isn't that... Elle?
"I could ask you the same question." An unknown voice said calmly. There was a pause.
"Can you be any more cliche?" Elle asked.
.A chuckle came from the stranger. 'Come on, princess. Release Hiroto! You have a battle to fight with me, not with him." Elle said. The sound of a hand hitting flesh was heard.
'Don't call me princess.' growled The unknown voice, who Elle apparently called Alex, said.
'Yeah, well, first cut your hair and stop spending so much time behind the mirror, then we'll talk.' with that a startled yell of pain echoed in the hall. Then the sound of beatings. Then... a gunshot?
The door swung open, and Manami dashed away, hiding around the corner, not wanting to be caught eavesdropping. She casually walked towards the door, as if she just came from there. 'Elle!' She called out worried, as soon as Elle was in sight.
Elle was bleeding, her cheek was red and you could see the imprint of a hand. She rushed to Elle's side. 'Let me see that!' She said, looking at the bleeding wound. Elle snapped her hand away. 'I'm fine. Let's go to the others and resume our mission." She said.
"What? Are you crazy? You can't finish our mission like this!" Manami grabbed a piece of cloth and pressed it on the wound. Elle blinked. "Where did that cloth come from?" Manami shrugged.
She wrapped the wound with the cloth and sighed. "This would have to do..." Elle nodded and together they ran trough the hallways. "Who are Angel-chan and the rest gonna kill first?" Elle asked.
Manami grabbed a piece of paper out of her pocket and pointed at the name above the list. 'OK. Let's go and kill...' Elle pointed at the second name on the list. 'Him.' Manami looked around and saw that they were standing practically next to the office of the victim. Manami nodded and opened the door. She looked inside and gasped.
When they looked inside the room, it made them gasp. It was not an office or a dormitory but a dungeon where the ninjas torture their victims to get data: the walls and floor were stained with blood, their were bodies literally nailed to the walls and there among the bodies on the wall was Hiroto but he was chained instead of nailed.
"They must not have had much time to nail him which makes our job easier" Elle said. Manami just glanced at her and shuddered at the thought of how much pain these people must have been in because the young assassins were the only ones who were alive there.
The two assassins broke the chains, freed Hiroto whose head was bleeding, woke him up and began to search for their victims
They began their search with a bleeding Hiroto "where do you think the victims are?" Manami asked Elle just shrugged and continued to drag Hiroto.
When a hole appeared on the floor making the three assassins slide down a steep surface and then zoom into the air and fall... Fall...
They shut their eyes waiting for the crash which never came instead felt a hand around their wrists. They opened their eyes to find their comrades holding onto their wrists... Dangling from a rope 80 feet above the ground! Manami squeezed the teen's arm who was holding onto her.
"Manami stop squeezing my arm" Daiki said as the said girl loosened her grip a bit on her best friend's arm.
"Hiroto! What happened to you?" Rui exclaimed making the rope the assassins were dangling from swing. Well actually they weren't exactly dangling from a rope; let's just say Gouenji was holding onto a rope with one hand around Angel's wrist, she held onto Daiki, Rui grabbed onto his legs and had her grip around Ann and so on.
"Stop moving! We will end up falling!" Illiya scowled enraged. "What's the big deal? We have been trained to land from much higher altitudes then this" Elle said.
"Oh really? We didn't know that." Yuki said sarcastically "well would you kindly remind me when were we trained to land on the tips of pointy spears?"
The threesome dropped their gaze to the ground to find sharp pointy spears facing their way!
-in the Ninja's security room-
The ninjas in the security room shreiked with laughter at the sight of the assassins on the screen. Some if them smirked whIle others with delicate heart just looked away in horror
"Look at those assassins. They are pathetic!" Miha sneered.
"Isn't doing that to them wrong?" Sumiko whimpered "what? What about all the people they have killed? What about all those ninjas who were one of us were killed in cold blood by them?" Miho exclaimed
"But won't it put us in the same level as them if we try killing them" Luna interjected.
"That's enough!" Exclaimed a young man who apparently was their boss.
A silhouette among them grabbed the wrist of teen and dragged him to a corner and grumbled under his breath "do you really think its a wise choice to let them die?" The other kept silent.
"Do you really want to see the only family we have left to die?"
-to the assassins-
"G-guys we have problem" Yuki stammered
"You could have fooled me" Elle said sarcastically
"The walls are closingin on us!" Yuki bellowed
And sure enough the walls were closing in on them. It wouldn't take long before the 10 assassins in the room,... were dead.
Elle: DUM DUM DUM! What will happen to the assassins? How does Elle know Alex? How will the assassins survive? Why are cookies delicious? XD
