CHAPTER 3: THE PAIN BEGINS
I pulled up to the gate of the Mutant Underground. Duke and Serinity got out of the car with me. I walked up to the guard at the gate and showed him my identification. The guard asked me about Duke and Serinity.
"They need a place to stay for the time being. I am willing to share my place here and I need to take them to their friends. They all are in danger and I do not want the Dominion to get to them. Please let them in." The guard opened the gate and we all got back into the car. I was not paying any attention to the car behind me that they let in behind me. I pulled up to the door and turned off the car. I then looked behind my car and noticed nothing. I got out of the car and Duke and Serinity got out right behind me. We all walked into the door and I smiled. I saw some of my friends. I walked over and asked them if they saw Yugi Muto and his friends. They pointed the way. I took Duke and Serinity to this room where they were all sitting there talking. I smiled.
"Is there anything else I can get you all right now?" They all looked up at me and smiled. Serinity started to cry when she saw that her brother was all right. I smiled and watched as they both hugged each other.
"Where were you sis? I was starting to worry about you. Serinity dont you ever scare me like that again." Serinity started to laugh. I looked at her puzzled. Then I noticed the picture Serinity's brother had. I started to laugh as well.
"Joey, what is that picture you have in your hand?" Serinity asked. Joey Wheeler was Serinity's brother. They were both nearly inseperable. Joey always acted tough around his friends, but he also showed his soft side. Serinity kept on laughing at the picture.
"This is a picture of you when you were a baby so I dont quite know what you are laughing at sis." Serinity started to blush and everyone else started to laugh. In the midst of all the laughter, I did not feel the tap on my shoulder. Yugi Muto looked around and saw that Adam was standing right behind me. Yugi Muto was the holder of the Millenium Puzzle and friend of Joey and Serinity Wheeler. Yugi looked around and saw Adam again.
"LeAnn......LeAnn....." Yugi was stuttering in his words and I looked around and saw Yugi standing there. I was puzzled at what he was looking at, but I knew that something was up. I looked around and saw no one. I then looked back at Yugi and there was Adam standing there right behind him. I gasped and took two steps back.
"What are you doing here Adam? I thought that you were......"
"I know that you thought I was dead. I wanted you to think that. I hid here in the Mutant Underground for saftey. I came back because the Dominion is trying to get the plans for mutant genocide. They are not only coming after Duke, they are coming after you LeAnn. I am here for your saftey. I want you and all of your friends to come with me to Sancutary. You all will be safe there. Three of the Dominion's operatives are already here and they are looking for you all." Tristan looked over at Adam. Tristan was the other tough guy of the bunch. He had a friend named Tea. Tea was the supportive of the bunch. She will stick by all of her firends no matter what the outcome of the matter is. I looked around and saw Mai Valentine.
"I know you guys missed me. What is going on here?" Mai was the cool one of the group. She had to have all of the latest things in Duel Monsters. She also had to have a man, but she was in a slump right now. I looked around. I did not believe that the Dominon was there. I walked away from the entire crowd and I headed outside. I was scared that I was going to die. Adam walked up behind me.
"LeAnn, I need you to know that you do not have to do this. I want you on our team. Mutant X really needs you on their team. I really would like you think about this. I hope that you make the right choice." All of the sudden we heard this loud bang inside. We ran in and saw three guys come after Serinity. I ran up and gave one of the guys a bolt of electricity right to the head. He fell down on the spot. One of the guys fired a shot at Duke and he massed out. Serinity was in shock at what she saw. One of the Dominon's guys came up and grabbed Joey and held a knife to his throat.
"Hand Duke Devlin over and he won't die. I mean it, I will do it." Joey was trying to struggle out of the hold, but he could not do it. Adam looked over at me and then I looked over at Duke. He was very angry.
"Let me talk to Duke. It won't take long." The man nodded his head yes and Duke and walked outside. I started to cry. Duke came over and put his hand on my shoulder.
"Why are you crying? What is wrong LeAnn?" I looked over at him. How could I tell him that I was a part of this whole thing for the Dominon to take over the world? All I knew at that point in time was that they were after Duke and I needed to get him out of this. I was devising a plan. I looked over at Duke and smiled.
"I have a plan Duke, but you need to trust me on this. I thought that this would be a safe haven for you, but I am the one who got Joey in this mess in the first place. I need you to listen to me. I have a way to get Joey out of this, but I need you to trust me." Duke nodded his head yes. I looked over and saw Adam coming out of the room. He walked over towards me. He had a real bad look on his face. I walked over to him and pulled him over to the two of us.
"You all need to hurry out here. The guy is getting real restless in there. He is about to snap. His other two goons in there have Serinity and Yugi as well. I hope that you have a plan."
"Adam, that is why I pulled you over here my friend. You need to hear this out as well. I have this planned out. You and Duke need to get behind the other two guys and when I take down the main guy, then you two will knock the other two out." I smiled.
"Ashley, how are we going to get behind them when they can see our every move?" Duke asked. I pulled out my cell phone. I then started to giggle.
"That is where my buddy at the gate comes in. I am going to ask him to take you two to the front." All of the sudden we heard another bang. We all ran in and saw that Joey was free and Tristan and him were trying to get the other two guys off of Serinity and Yugi.
"Look out!" Joey ducked and I sent a bolt of electricity to the guy that still had a hold of Yugi. The guy let Yugi go and he fell face first down on the ground. I looked around and Serinity was nowhere in sight. I started running all over the Mutant Underground looking for her, but she was nowhere. I ran back and saw Joey getting ready to cry. I walked over to Joey. I put my hand on his shoulder.
"They took her. They took my sister for what? Why did it have to be her?" He was crying this time. I started to cry with him. I wanted to say something, but the words could not come out. I put his sister in this danger. I felt that it was all my fault for what I did to his sister. Adam walked over to us.
"I think that we all need to get to Sancutary. I think everyone else will be safe there. My team and I will look for you sister there Joey and I promise that I will find her at all costs. I hope that you will be all right." Joey looked at Adam and then at me. He then pointed at me.
"I am holding you personally responsible for what happened to my sister. You both need to get her back....." I stopped him in mid-sentence.
"I need to tell you all something, but I will tell you all when we get you sister back. I do not want to cause anymore pain. Let's all go to Sancutary. I will fill you all in on what is happening there." We all walked out to the two cars that were Adam's and mine. The one thing I did not know was that there was going to be something a lot bigger than what took place at the Mutant Underground. I looked at Adam and he smiled at me. Then he got in his car and I got in mine. All the guys piled in Adam's car and the girls got into my car. I did not say a word the whole way there. I was thinking about Serinity. I was getting ready for all out war. No matter what, I was going to get Serinity back and then, I was going to pay a visit to a friend of mine from the Dominon. I was going to take the Dominon out myself by hook or crook. I did not know that this whole thing was going to be the start of heartache and pain.
I pulled up to the gate of the Mutant Underground. Duke and Serinity got out of the car with me. I walked up to the guard at the gate and showed him my identification. The guard asked me about Duke and Serinity.
