A/N: So as some of you know I like to give shout outs to reviewers and NeonFlame mentioned how this is why they were doing bad in school lol. So I thought I'd put up fun facts…which was oddly addicting this site had like thousands like did you know:

We, as humans, forget 90% of our dreams

During thinking, we use on about 35% of our brains (unless you're a Draculoid….0%)

The percentage of people dreaming in black and white started decreasing after the spread of color TV

Approximately two-thirds of people tip their head to the right when they kiss

Just days before the World Cup of 1966 in England, the trophy was stolen and then later retrieved by a dog

'Jedi' is an official religion in Australia with over 70,000 followers (I'm currently following ;D)

Polar bears with transparent, fluffy fur actually have black skin

Music can help reduce chronic pain by more than 20% and can alleviate depression by up to 25%. (which is why you should listen to MCR)

And, the egg came first. Well that was fun, hope that bettered you all as a person…or people…unless you're a Draculoid….get off the internet you robot zombie! *VSHOOM* PEW PEW* that was close, ok on with the story :D

"Frank?" Turnstile said again. He was shaking now. Frank got up and looked around. Turnstile rushed towards him and hugged him.

"I'm so glad I found you! Sorry about the gun!" He said stepping back. Frank stood to get a good look at him. He looked a little battered, a few scratches here and there. His dirty face was lined where tears had been.

"What are you doing here? Where's Sky?" Frank asked looking around. The small girl wasn't in sight. It was then he noticed Turnstile looking at the ground. His eyes welled up again but the small boy held back.

"They took her…" He said quietly.

"What! Who?" Frank spat. "Where's Pixy and the others?"

Turnstile tried to be brave but he finally broke down.

"We…we were going to meet with the..the other team but…we got ambushed…and…Sky got scared and ran away from the group. I tried to follow her but we got lost…We ran into a few Draculoids….I got a gun and got a few…like you showed me but…they…they took her…I'm SO SORRY!" The boy sobbed. Frank quickly knelt down and let him cry on his shoulder.

"It's not your fault. You did the best you could. It'll be ok." He said patting him on the head. He felt weird, sort of like…an adult for the first time.

"We'll get her back. I promise." He said meaning every word. Turnstile stepped back trying to wipe the tears from his cheek.

"Really?" He sniffled. Frank nodded. He looked down to his pocket where the Mouskrat was tucked. He handed it to Turnstile and stood up.

"But…how are we gonna get in. There are hundreds of those things there." Turnstile asked with a defeated tone.

Frank pulled out his gun and pulled back the hammer aiming it at the horizon.

"We're killjoys." He said with a smile.

Gerard had lead the team, minus one, out of the street and carefully through the city towards BL/ind.

They all felt uneasy about leaving Frank behind but they also knew they had a job to do. Gerard stopped at an alley way and pulled out the communicator and turned it on.

"Poison to Tonic, come in? Over." He whispered. Only static. "Poison to Tonic, do you read? Over." Still nothing. He tried switching channels and trying the message again. Nothing but static.

"Why didn't we try the radio in the tunnel?" Ray said glaring at the ground. His mind was still on his fallen team member.

"It wouldn't have worked till we got closer and out of the metal and underground." Gerard said trying to keep his guilty conscious on the sound of static for any sign of human voice. Finally there was a blip of something, after about a minute and thirty seconds the tone grew louder. He twisted the turner over every station till a voice came in clear and what sounded like…music.

"Children have you ever met the Boogie Man before? No of course you haven't for your much to good I'm sure. Don't you be afraid if he should visit you. He's a great big coward so I'll tell you what to do. Hush, hush, hush, here comes the Boogie Man. Don't let him come to close to you I'll catch you if he can." An eerie voice sung over the speaker with an old rag time piano.

"What is that?" Mikey asked leaning in. They were all surrounded around the radio as it played over and over, then sounded like a record skipping and starting back at the beginning.

"It's an old folk song from pre-war." Ray said in a shaky voice.

"This is the station Tonic told me to turn to." Gerard said a little bewildered.

"Turn it off! Just turn that damn thing off! It's giving me the creeps!" Mikey shouted covering his ears as the song skipped, this time it was stuck on the word "hush" Saying it over and over without break.

Gerard turned it off and stuck it back in his pocket.

"So what does this mean?" Ray asked. Gerard was quiet for a while.

"Do you think they were taken, or is this just some fucking mind game?" Mikey said leaning on one of the walls and cleaned his gun nervously. A loud crash made them all jump. Gerard put a finger to his lips and pulled up his gun. They slowly turned a corner and snapped into action.

To their surprise they were also face to face with two colorful ray guns and a thin barreled tommy gun.

"POISON?"

"TONIC!" The two teams stared at each other for a moment.

"I thought that you…" Gerard started and held up his radio.

"Us too. We keep getting some creepy song over and over. They must have intercepted our transitions. Tonic let out a sigh. "Man we thought you guys were ghosted for sure! After some Dracs hit us in the tunnels we had to climb for the topside."

Gerard sighed and lowered his gun. "Same here."

"How do we know it's really them and not some BL/ind trick?" Baby Doll snapped, she still had her gun up. Static Pyro nodded nervously. With that both teams put their guns up again.

"True." Gerard said raising an eyebrow. "How do we know it's really you?"

"Could ask you the same question, bro." Tonic said with a smirk. Both of them thought hard for a good question.

"In the mess hall what did you tell me when I asked about how you handled your team?" Gerard asked tilting his head back. Tonic chuckled a little.

"You can't control everything but you take pride in the things you can work with and have." He said dropping his gun. The others all dropped theirs except Baby Doll.

"I'm still not convinced." She said tilting her head. Mikey popped his head out and bit his lip.

"Um…I…um…I have…" Slowly he pulled out the unicorn figurine from his pocket. The Tonic and Static looked confused.

"Kobra it is you!" Baby Doll smiled widely and jumped forward planting a big kiss on him.

"WOAH!" The group said at the same time. Tonic and Gerard both attempted to pull them apart.

"What the hell!" Tonic shouted glaring at Mikey. He held both his hands up innocently.

"She kissed me, man!" He said backing up slowly.

"Oh don't act like you didn't enjoy it." She said giving him a wink and an air kiss. Gerard stepped between his baby brother and a rather angry Tonic.

"Look we have bigger problems right now." He said avoiding any conflict. Tonic glared at Mikey as he slowly turned away continuing the glare onto Baby Doll who just simply smiled. Mikey's eyes were still bulged as Gerard turned to give them a "What the hell?" look. He shrugged still a little worried Tonic would lunge at him any second.

Ray grabbed Tonic's arm lightly.

"Did you...did you see Ghoul at all?" He said somberly. "We…lost track of him in the tunnels." Gerard looked down. Static Pyro gasped. Baby Doll's jaw dropped. It took Tonic a second to answer.

"I'm sorry, no." Ray released his hand and nodded. Tonic cleared his throat.

"We should keep moving." The all nodded silently. They started walking out of the alley way when a shadow flew overhead. They all froze then snapped to their guns. There was a crash then another shadow. There was a click but it was hard to figure out where, then the creepy rag time tune started up again.

"Fuck it's that song again!" Mikey said covering his ears.

"We need to get out of the alley and head to an open space." Tonic said looking around for the source.

"We'll be sitting ducks!" Gerard said doing the same.

"Better be out there than trapped in here!" He couldn't really argue with that. They all ran out and back on to the open street. They could still hear the music all around them.

"Don't let them get in your head. They're just trying to screw us up!" Gerard said looking around. There was a sound of squealing tires, then a large white van with the BL/ind logo on the side with the words S/C/A/R/E/C/R/O/W/ UNIT underneath it, it turned and stopped. The engine growled. Then it was like the music was cut. It was quiet but only for a half second before the van charged them.

"RUN!" Gerard and Tonic both shouted. Together they all booked it down the street. The van was close on their heels.

"SPLIT!" Tonic ordered after a few sharp turns down a thin street. Gerard and Tonic took the center while Baby Doll and Mikey took the far left and Ray and Static took the far right. All six ran as hard as they could.

Tonic and Gerard both dove behind a turned dumpster the first chance they got and caught their breath. "Let's lay low for a bit till we're sure they are gone." Tonic panted. Gerard nodded and rested his back on the cracked cement sidewalk.

"Sorry if I…crossed a line with you…back there." Tonic said trying to breathe. "It's just…she's my baby sister…and all." Gerard nodded.

"I get it…He's my kid brother." Gerard said inhaling trying to relax his heart rate. They both breathlessly chuckled.

"It's about time she hooked up though." Tonic smiled. Gerard nodded with a smirk.

"You have no idea." There was a loud crash and the sound of tires. The both sat up and started for an alley.

Baby Doll and Mikey dashed in an alley way and kept running deep in the maze of apartment buildings. Finally Baby Doll stopped and sat on a wooden crate breathing heavily. Mikey held up and bent over putting a hand on the brick wall for support as he caught his breath. They both had their guns out just in case.

"Sorry...if I…upset…Tonic." Mikey panted. He'd been dying to say something.

"Don't sweat it kid. Your bro's right….We got bigger problems." She chuckled gasping for air.

"Well I just…wanted him to know I'm not…just…I'm not…I mean I would never…" Now he was just trying to find the right words.

"Don't mash up words with feelings. It never sounds as well as it does in your head." She said tilting her head back. "I know how you feel and I know your clean intentions." Mikey sat next to her.

"I mean do you…feel….um…like…maybe?" He stammered.

"Boy you stutter a lot…it's cute." She smiled and took his hand into hers. "See this?" She held it up. "I've never had this before, so yeah. I feel 'um, like, maybe,' you too."

He was a little confused as to what she meant but that was washed away as she leaned in for another kiss. He felt her arm go up and heard the fire of a ray gun. She pulled away as he snapped his head around. A Draculoid was standing only feet from them.

"I didn't wanna ruin a good moment with imminent death." She said with a grin. They both got up and started running again.

Ray and Static Pyro were still running in the open street not being able to find any place to hide. They could still hear the van not far behind. Another van suddenly pulled in front of them. The both stopped quickly. The passenger door shot open. Three Draculoids jumped out ready and armed.

"GET ON THE GROUND." Its robotic voice ordered. Quickly they dropped to their knees. The two Draculoids circled behind them while the third stood in front and held the gun to their faces. The two in the back slapped thick white metal cuffs on their wrists. Roughly they pulled them up and threw them into the back of the van without another word. They sat up correctly and leaned on the far wall of the van.

"It's gonna be ok." He lulled. He crawled next to her and slipped his hands under his feet. She did the same.

"I shouldn't be here. I'm an office medic not a field medic." She whispered.

"It's ok, I'm right here. I won't let them hurt you." He took her hand. In the dark of the van she tried to see his eyes, instead she just leaned her head on his shoulder.

"What the hell is the 'SCARECROW UNIT'?" she said in a small voice remembering the plate on the van.

"They are searchers. Dr. Shinu has them collect people and bring them back to BL/ind." He said trying his best not to scare her any more than she already was.

"For what!"

He paused not wanting to say the answer. She squeezed his hand.

"Please tell me. I need to know."

He sighed. "In the California branch Shinu used humans as Draculoids. She put a chip in them to do her bidding because the machines weren't good enough. So she built the SCARECROWS to collect people and bring them back and then implant them with the chip. It sounds like she's back to her old tricks." He waited for more crying but it was silent in the dark. Finally.

"Well….at least they're not killing us." Static said trying to keep her voice positive. Ray couldn't help but smile at her constant optimism.

Mikey, Baby Doll, Gerard and Tonic got at the same end of the alley just in time to see Ray and Static Pyro tossed into the van. Tonic was the first to try and run out but Gerard grabbed him by the coat.

"What are you doing!" Tonic demanded. "They have them!"

"We can't out run the van, besides we still have time to get them back. The SCARECROWs will take them back to BL/ind. There we can save them and take down the company." Gerard said keeping his eyes on the van that was now drifting into a white dot.

"There's still time."

A/N: Hey just wanted to add, yes I know the rag time song could have been "Blood" but I already used that earlier and I've fallen in love with this creepy creepy song by Henry Hall, but I still wanted some sort of eerie rag time tune and it fit...so there...:P. I got it from the Alice is Dead2 game (addicting). Its called "Hush, Hush, Hush," Its super creepy but weirdly catchy.
