Chapter 4
Cassie, Wakko and Dot were searching frantically where the explosion came from. Finally they gave up and sat down on the ground. "This is hopeless.." Cassie muttered. "Where are Yakko and Yack?" Dot wondered out loud. Cassie shrugged her shoulders. "Wait! I see someone!" Wakko said, pointing outward. There running back to them was Yakko. Wait! Cassie squinted in the afternoon light and noticed it was Yack, not Yakko. She ran over to him. "Yack?!" She called over. He continued to run until he was right up against her, he breathed hard, as if he had just run a marathon. "Whats going on?" Cassie asked. "Where's Yakko!?" "Cassie..he.." Yack gulped down more air. "An ambush, he didn't get out.they captured him."
Cassie bit her lip. "Oh poor Yakko.I have to try to save him!" Cassie started to march past Yack when he put his hand gently on her shoulder. "No Cass.. it's too dangerous." Yack's voice was gentle. She shook off his arm. "My friend is out there and I'm gonna find him and you cant stop me!" "Cassie." Yack looked into her eyes. She saw something in them. She stopped and her face softened. "But...Yakko..." "Cassie he will be alright, he is strong.now please..come back." Yack held out his hand. Cassie, entranced by his looks and kindness she could not help but put her hand into his. Together Yack and Cassie started to walk back to the tower with Wakko and Dot following. They had their suspicions but didn't say a word.
"JUSTICE!" A voice boomed. Justice winced. Now she was in deep trouble for some reason. She went up to the double gold and orange doors and went inside carefully. "Yes master?" She said softly. "I hear you got Yakko Warner but changed one of the girls." the boss eyed her carefully. "Also that one of our others, Lavender is missing." "Lavender failed my master, I did what I thought was best." Justice kept her posture. "Listen carefully Justice. you get all three of those brats to me.get rid of the girl and cape boy. Do whatever it takes! I'm giving you one last chance Justice!" "Yes sir.." " Now I have a more big plan, take that fool Kirk Lampring out with the girl and cape boy, ill set the bait.you just plan on grabbing the two other brats.." Justice nodded rigidly. She hated being told what to do. "Get Emerald and Cherry, they haven't been used for anything yet, call a meeting if you have to Justice! Just get the warners!!!!!!!!" "Yes master." With that Justice went out of the room and quickly called a meeting. All the girls who will still there were there. Sunshine frantically looked at the two empty spots that she could see, Amber and Lavender, gone forever. She gazed over at Aqua. The poor girl looked like she hadn't slept in weeks. Her blue eyes had lost all their sparkle. Her usually straight blue and black hair was messed up from endless nights worrying about her sister Lavender. Sunshine then looked at the rest of the group, besides justice and herself there were three more girls, Cherry, Emerald, and Harmony. Cherry wore a dress that was way over the standards. Her naturally red hair was held back by a red headband with cherries attached to it. She had green eyes, which seemed hollow at one point, then glittering the next. She was as unpredictable as the weather itself. Then there was Emerald. The smart one of the group. She had green glasses that covered her bright green eyes. She had dyed her hair green for the full affect of her outfit. She wore green shoes with high white socks. She had a skirt, which was above her knees but not as bad as Cherry's outfit. Finally she wore a green emerald around her neck and a green glitter long arm shirt. To top it off she wore gold and emerald earrings. Sunshine thought that out of all of them, Emerald loved showing off what she could wear to make sure everyone knew her name. Finally there was Harmony. She was more the unsure one of the group. She was smart but sometimes argued if the others tried to kill anyone. She is smart and good, a dangerous combination. She had natural orange hair and simply wore an orange skirt which reached just past her ankles, and a velvet black top. Hanging from a chain on her wrist was an orange stone, maybe a topaz. She never let anyone touch it. Her blue eyes seemed to be full of mystery and danger for the group. Sunshine had tried to get Harmony in trouble many times. Harmony must be kicked out. "Sunshine?" "Huh? What?!" Sunshine blinked and looked over at Justice. " I said the master has wanted me to award Sunshine the privilege of accompanying Cherry and Emerald for this big surprise." Justice smirked. Sunshine didn't like the way she said that, she glanced back at Harmony and saw she wore the same frown. Aqua also was suspicious, the group seemed to be falling apart. Aqua's eyes burned as she felt fresh tears in her eyes. Amber and Lavender were both gone. Aqua didn't care about the Warners anymore. All she wanted to do was get even with Justice for making her sister disappear. With that last thought she blocked out all conversation and stared at Justice, hatred burning in her eyes.
A couple more days passed. Cassie stared out the window to her room and sighed. She had to save Yakko, but Yack had promised he, Wakko and Dot would go find him. That there was no need to worry. Cassie felt unsure of everything at the moment. She felt lost with everything around her. She liked Yack and Yakko. She just couldn't understand her own feelings. She sighed and started to walk to her bed when she heard a strange noise. She turned around and came face to face with a young Warner boy in a cape, top hat, and black mask. She gasped, frightened and backed away, clutching her pink crystal in one hand. "No don't!" He said in a young mans voice. "Who are you?" Cassie asked. "I'm not here to harm you, you have to listen, not everything is as it seems." "What are you talking about?" Cassie looked at him. "You're the same guy who has saved us.." "Yes...I must warn you Yack isn't who he says he is.please..listen.."
Cassie, overwhelmed with all this information sat down. "Please Cassie you have to-" Cassie cut him off. "How do you know my name?!" "Verrrrrrrrryyyyyyyy Long story but Cassie you have to-" Suddenly a door slammed followed by a call "Cassie!!! Cassie it's me Yack!" "Oh no.." Cassie whispered. "Hide!" She pushed the Warner boy into a nearby closet and closed the door. Yack came into the room. "Hey Cass."
"Wheres Wakko and Dot?" Cassie asked, pretending not to be nervous. "Oh there at this warehouse I believe we have found Yakko!" Yack grinned. Cassie smiled. "That's great!" "Yeah come with us in about an hour.. there's creepy weird guys all around and I wouldn't want you getting hurt.." He leaned into Cassie and kissed her softly on the lips. Cassie never felt so intense before. The other boy in the closet must have seen it for he opened the door and little and whacked her foot with it. "Ow!" Cassie closed the door quickly so Yack wouldn't see the newcomer. "You alright?" Yack asked. "Of course." Cassie smiled. "Alright..remember in an hour.." With that Yack left the tower. As soon as she knew he was gone, Cassie let out a sigh of relief and opened the closet door. The boy walked out gracefully as if nothing happened but she saw a red mark on his face. "Now please you have to listen to me!" "First off.who are you? Second off..Yack is not someone evil! And third..THAT HURT!" "I'm sorry but you were practically drooling over him.." The young Warner boy smirked. Cassie frantically tried to think of a comeback, when he started to speak more seriously. "My name is Zack..Until you trust me more that's all you will get out of me..second, Yack is evil, your walking right into a trap, and third sorry! But you were getting too friendly with a bad guy!" Zack looked at her, she looked ready to blast him to pieces but then stopped. "Wait a minute.if he said Wakko and Dot were there why would he leave them along with bad guys all around?" Cassie looked scared. She looked at Zack. "What do we do?"
Cassie, Wakko and Dot were searching frantically where the explosion came from. Finally they gave up and sat down on the ground. "This is hopeless.." Cassie muttered. "Where are Yakko and Yack?"
