She spun and held the sword at the guy's neck. "Are you always this friendly or is this a special occasion?" Anji said calmly. Baiken realized her mistake and slowly moved the sword and sheathed it. "Anji, how are you?" she said. "Stunned, and also tired. Why are you here?" Anji asked. "Well, just saying hi, but Anji. I have to warn you about…" "ANJI!!!!!!" came out from the hallway.
Anji and Baiken ran after the scream and found Taku and Otsu bound in ropes carried by one of the men Baiken overheard. The guy turned and ran. Looking around, Taketo was unconscious on the floor and Yuri was by his side. 3 of the other musicians were missing. One was still there but very bloody. "They kidnapped some of us," he said. "Where?" Baiken asked him but the guy fainted (A/N: No good guys die, just really big Ouches). Anji walked over to Yuri who was in tears. "Is he…?" "No, just unconscious" Taketo opened his eyes, "The room…gas…" Anji mad the connection and ran to his friends' room. Smoke was pouring out under the door. He tried the handle but the door was locked. "Baiken, I could use some help." She walked over. "It's locked" "Step back" She drew her sword and slashed it three times. It fell apart like it was cut paper. "Now it's not." The room was full of smoke and Anji used his fans to drive to smoke away.
Koji and Nori were in the corner with there hands over their mouths. "Thanks. They took our kids and said something about a warehouse." Nori said. "They locked us in here when we tried to fight back. We have to get them back." Koji said. Anji lead them to the others and then heard the starting of a car. "Will you be ok?" He asked everyone. "Go, will come and help when we can." Nori said. "Come on Baiken." Anji said. "Finally a fight! I thought I would have to kill someone soon." Baiken beamed. "Your thirst for violence is scary." Baiken turned to him, filled with the thought of a fight. "Huh?" "Never mind, come on!" And they ran to the back loading dock.
They had just locked the back of the truck when Anji and Baiken got to the scene. The guys jumped into the truck and sped off. "How are we going to follow them?" Anji said but Baiken had already chosen. She ran after the truck on foot and could keep a good pace with them. Baiken wasn't going to wait. They ran down roads and tried to lose her but she kept up and even came close to catching the truck a few times. "Hey Baiken!" she heard behind her. Anji was coming up fast on his move the Dragon Chariot. He came up and lifted her up onto it with her one good arm. "Need a ride?" Baiken slapped him. "Fool! Turn left" Anji barely made the turn into the hidden alleyway. The truck pulled into an abandoned warehouse and the steel door closed behind it. "Blast it!" Baiken swore. "If you say so." Anji grabbed Baiken by the waist and leaped off the energy dragon as it smashed into the door, blowing it open.
Much to their surprise, Baiken landed in Anji's arms. They both looked at each other and both made complaints. "Let me down" Baiken said. "You fell on me first, I just happened to be there." "Oh yeah?" "Yeah." Baiken turned away and swallowed her blush. "Let's go…" she said, and walked ahead. "And don't smirk!" Anji couldn't help but laugh at the flustered Baiken.
Through the blasted open door, this "abandoned" warehouse was actually quite full with boxes stacked to the roof. For a recent getaway, the place was quiet. 'Too quiet' Baiken thought, placing her hand on the sword. They walked deeper into the building but still found nothing until they found the tire tracks a voice called from above. "Hey!" they looked up and saw the control booth overhead. The two men who carried off the twins were dangling them out of the window. Mr. Jackson stood between them. "Looking for these?" He laughed. "You fell for my trap! Give up like good little rabbits." "Never!" Anji yelled. "Come on, I just want to use you as ransom. I'll give you back…. Eventually" Mr. Jackson and his henchmen laughed at the joke. "I'll kill you" Baiken said. "No you won't, not all long as I have the twins. If you won't go nicely, I'll just have to get mean." He snapped his fingers. A horde of henchmen came out of the wood-works. They were carrying knives, bats, guns, and anything heavy. Anji and Baiken were surrounded and they stood back to back. "Can you take them?" Anji asked over his shoulder. "Probably 30, but what about you?" "15, so that leaves 30 we are not ready for" "so you improved! 15 isn't not bad." 'She jokes at a time like this?' he thought but Baiken had seen help arrive over the henchmen's shoulder.
