Ran, Houki, and Kira didn't like falling down the hole. Eventually, they landed on the ground each piled onto of another.
"It's nice to see the children joining us." A creepy voice said.
The three genin looked around. Arashi was chained to the wall. While the three of them were still in a cage, but at least this time they could see. The creepy voice belonged to a man that looked strange. He reminded the genin of one of the mad scientists out of a movie.
"What do you want with us?" Houki asked.
"I only wanted your dear, sensei." The man said. "You three are just a bonus. He'll get to know he failed to save his genin team."
"We won't let that happen." Ran said.
"You don't have a choice." He neared their cage. "You see there's a poison running threw your veins. The only antidote is right next to your sensei. There is no way he can grab it nor is there one for you to help him."
Kira had already put a plan into action. Though it wasn't a very good one. It was the only one she could come up with at the time. As the man walked away from them and towards their sensei she whispered it to Ran and Houki.
"It can't work." Houki said. "We'll die."
"Shinobi are known to die on missions." Ran replied.
"We're too young to die."
"Shut up. As I told you I think he was bluffing. Sensei is knocked out. Why would he want us to die when sensei can't even watch like he planed to do?" Kira asked them.
"Cause he's like one of those weirdo scientists like in the movies!" Houki protested.
"I agree with Kira. We make a genjutsu to make him believe we're out and then he'll freak and possible open the cage so we can actually get out." Ran repeated the plan.
"Fine." Houki said. "But I don't have to like it."
Kira started her hand signs, and soon there was a genjutsu around the cage making it look as if no one was in there.
"What!" the man screamed. "The children are missing!" There was soon a bunch of guards surrounding the creepy man. "Find the children!"
"Yes, sir!" The guards saluted and ran in different directions.
"Where could they have gone?" The man pondered. He approached the cage. The closer he got the more he was heading for the door of the cage.
Arashi-sensei groaned. The creepy man turned his attention to the sensei. "Arashi it's so nice to see you again. Do you remember me?"
"No." Arashi bluntly stated. "I don't."
"Such a shame." The man said. "I'm Dr. Gin now. I was once your friend, but I was kicked out of the academy thanks to you."
"Oh right. That's who you are." Arashi said.
"You shall pay!" Dr. Gin shouted. "You and your genin! Such a shame they escaped. I was going to be nice to them and turn them into my mindless minions. But when my men find them, they'll have the same fate as their Sensei. Death!"
Dr. Gin made his way towards the cage again. He walked around it inspecting it. "Looks like they broke out quite well." He muttered to himself. "No marks at all."
"That's my genin team. The best of the best."
"Ha! You couldn't even teach a child how to tie their shoes! Much less three genin how to escape!"
"My teaching skills have improved!" Arashi argued. Dr. Gin approached the door of the cage and opened it. As soon as he did so, Ran and Houki pulled him further into the cage and the three genin slipped out. "Good job! Now get me out of here."
"Whatever Sensei." The three replied undoing the chains.
"This is what you get for losing the map." Houki said. "Making all of us be captured by some wannabe villain."
"I am a villain!" Dr. Gin protested.
"Now the villain is throwing a tantrum." Ran said.
"Let's just go. Before somehow something else happens." Kira said.
