Chapter 2~ Capture

Mimi packed her belongings on the ship as Jet pulled the anchor off the island. The ship slowly drifted away from the island. Mimi looked at her little village and smiled. This was it. The moment she has been waiting for. She waved to the island until it was our of her sight. She walked over to Jet where he was steering the huge ship. "So, where are we going?"

"To my hometown."

"Where's that?"

"Not too far from here. We're going to pick up someone, and then we'll actually be on our way." She nodded and smiled. Looking over the ship's walls made Mimi think of the time she was with her father on a boat trip. A smile crept upon her face.

Another ship came passing by. The ship was twice the size of the one the two were in.

"Mimi, I think those are pirates," said Jet. "There's a picture of a skull emblazoned on the ship's sail." He let go of the wheel to get a closer look at the enormous ship. Four figures where looking over the edge at them waving.

"Prepare to make contact!" Shouted one of the figures. It sounded like a female's voice. The ship came closer to Jet's until the two were touching. A long rope dropped from the ship and landed next to Mimi's feet. She looked up to find two girls sliding down the worn out rope. The two stood face to face with her.

"Hi there," said one of the girls. She had long dark purplish hair that was half covered with a blue bandana, blue eyes and very pale skin.

"What do you want?" Jet asked taking a few steps towards them. The other girl that had short green hair, with a twisted blue headband, and purple eyes, lifted a sliver odd-looking gun up to him. "Don't move. Final warning."

"When did you give the first?" Mimi asked, turning to face her.

"Don't get smart little girl," she said. "Kali, tell the girls I got everything under control down here."

The purple haired girl nodded and took out what seemed like a walkie-talkie. "Kali here. Anna and I have everything under control. We'll be back up as soon as we tie up the new prisoners."

"New prisoners," said Jet. "So you are pirates."

"You're a smart boy, you know that," said Kali sarcastically. "We're not going to hurt you. All you do is have to follow everything we say, and you and your friend will be okay."

"Thanks for the offer, but we have places to go," Jet said. He quickly reached into his pocket grab a small ball. "Mimi, run this way!" With that said, he threw it to the ground and caused an explosion of smoke.

Kali began coughing uncontrollably. "Hey what's going on?" Anna pulled her headband from her head and lowered it to her mouth. "This isn't ordinary gas. I think it's sleeping gas. Kali we got get out of here!" She made her way through the smoke to find Kali lying on the floor fast asleep. "Where did those two go?"

No time soon had the smoke disappeared. Jet and Mimi were gone.

"They'll pay," said Anna.

"I didn't think we'd get away from them," said Mimi.

"Neither did I," Jet said. "Good thing I left my hover boards on the ship rather than leaving them at my house." The two were riding on separate boards that hovered above the ground. "How lucky were we?"

"Not too lucky," replied Mimi. She pointed a familiar ship approaching them. "The pirates are back."

Jet turned his board around and began riding backwards. "Damn. We might have to give up. There's no way our boards will out fly their ship."

The huge came closer by the second as the two tried to come up with a plan. Suddenly, the bottom part of the ship opened and out came three people riding hover boards.

"Here's Johnny!" said Kali. "Did you think you were going to get away with giving us sleeping gas?" Jet chuckled. "Well, I thought so." She didn't seem too pleased by his answer and forward her boards towards him. "You're mine!" The two began racing around in circle, trying to land a hit on one another.

As the two fought, Mimi had two others to deal with. Anna and another girl that wore a black cat mask to cover her face.

"Why don't join us little girl?" asked Anna, smiling. "You'll get to explore many lands and have anything your heart desires." What Anna said made Mimi think. That's all she wanted. To explore different lands and be able to do anything she wanted. However if it meant that she had to join a group that stood for bad, she didn't want any part of it. "I'll pass, but thanks for the offer."

"Wrong answer kid," Anna said. She flew at a rapid speed towards her followed by the masked girl. Mimi tried her best to dodge the two, but her little knowledge of handling a hover board made it difficult. Not too soon had her board's motor gave out and was hurdling towards the ground. Anna and the masked girl caught her and headed for the ship.

"They got Mimi," said Jet flying all over the place.

"That's right and you're next," Kali said. She raised her hands in front of her. It began to glow. "I'm tried of playing with you boy. Either you renounce or I can annul this whole thing."

"I choose none of the above," replied Jet with a smirk. Kali growled. "I've had it up to here with you!" The glow released from her hands and impinged Jet. He was knocked unconscious. She took placed his limp body on her board and road towards the ship.

"Mission accomplished."
