Maxie's Cause CH3 (MAJORLY CO-WRITTEN BY KARANIA AVALON) (You may be able to tell in the better quality of writing in some parts – that's hers.)

Disappearance

"All administrators report to the boardroom after training, repeat, all admins report to the boardroom after training."

DJ continued training against one of the top ranked and most snotty assed kids on the entire team. "Jeff, just fight."

"What? Just cause I like to play around a bit..."

"There's no time to just play around. We have to get the job done right and quick!"

"You're no fun!"

"And you're no good!" And with that, DJ's Marowak delivered the first, but final blow to Jeff's Fearow.

"No! Fearow! (Muttering) stupid fucking admin....."

"I heard that!" DJ glared at Jeff.

"What are you gonna do about it?" Jeff snickered at DJ. Marowak was sneaking up behind Jeff and whacked him on the head, knocking him out.

"Well that solved that..... Thanks Marowak." DJ said, patting Marowak on the head.

"Maro, Marowak!"

"Okay, training's over for today, everyone go do - something......" DJ seemed confused.

"I wonder what this is going to be about......" DJ thought entering the elevator. On the way up, he saw the lower magmas beginning a battle of their own through the window. He recognized Leah in a fight, sending out Vulpix against another magma's machoke. DJ was slightly worried at this sight, he wasn't sure if Vulpix could take the machoke. He then recognized the other magma as Jeff. And though the elevator had stopped, DJ stayed and continued to watch the battle play out. Vulpix was obviously faster and used Confuse Ray on Machoke. DJ had high hopes as Vulpix continued to deliver well-aimed attacks on Machoke. But just as the elevator reached the floor of the battle, Machoke used Revenge, not attacking Vulpix- but Machoke hit Leah with a devastating blow.

"Leah!" DJ rushed out of the elevator to Leah, who was lying unconscious on the ground, Machoke as confused as ever.

"I win by default." Jeff said smugly.

"Grr......." DJ glared at Jeff.

"Charmeleon! Go!" DJ's Charmeleon materialized in front of Jeff, glowing a brilliant golden color.

"Bring it on! The girl was a pushover!" Jeff yelled.

"Don't talk about my sister like you're better than her if you know what's good for you!" DJ growled. "Charmeleon! Iron Tail!" Charmeleon jumped high in the air, and began spinning down – it's tail (except for the flame) started glowing, and Charmeleon slammed down on Jeff, creating a wailing sound that made everyone look in their direction. DJ called back Charmeleon, picked up Leah, and ran to the hospital wing, leaving Jeff a bloody painful mess on the floor.

##################Team Magma Headquarters – Board Room##################

Maxie stood up. "Now that we're all here......" Maxie looked at DJ... "Wait... We're not all here. Where's Arinia?"

Arinia exited the Lilycove department score, after a frustrating conversation of how much TM25 is really worth. Pissed off, she continued to walk towards the Lilycove beach. Arinia stepped onto the beach and began to make her way over to the beach to surf over to the base on her Lanturn when she saw some TA agents approach her.

"Well, well, well, what do we have here? A little Team Magma agent, probably a grunt; You're coming with us my dear!" A Team Aqua Admin said when he saw her uniform.

"I'll have you know, I'm not some newbie Grunt, I'm an - oops....." Arinia said.

"Get her!" The Team Aqua Admin ordered.

Arinia made a break for the stairs back to Lilycove when another Team Aqua Admin grabbed her from behind. "Going somewhere my pretty Team Magma Admin? You're going to help us!" He tied her wrists behind her back and took a length of rope and secured it around her waist and pulled it until it was taut.

Arinia fought, trying to get free.

"You're not getting away!" The Team AquaAdmin named Chris taunted.

A submarine surfaced close to shore and a rope ladder was dropped down, the Chris picked Arinia up and slung her over his shoulder and waded out into the water with her and climbed up the ladder into the submarine. A bench was lowered and Chris made Arinia sit on it and took a seat beside her, still acting as her captor. The other Team Aqua members climbed in and held onto something, and a minute or so later the sub began to move, heading towards the open water and Route 127. About half an hour later, the sub surfaced at the Seafloor Cavern, and Chris, who was keeping Arinia on a tight leash made her stand up and picked her up and slung her over his shoulder like her had done before. All the while, Arinia was struggling trying to get loose, but the Admin had a good grip on her so her feeble attempts to get away were ignored. Chris climbed up and out of the sub and carried Arinia to shore, and started to take her inside with her still over his shoulder. Arinia was carried to a cell that was fairly clean and was set down outside it, while Chris untied her hands and undid the rope around her waist before he pushed her into the cell, slammed the door, and locked her in.

"You won't get away with this!" Arinia screamed.

"Save your breath, you'll be here awhile so get used to it." Chris said.

Arinia gave up arguing since she knew that there was no way she would be able to argue her way out of a locked cell.

Chris left her to go inform his boss that they had a Team Magma prisoner. Chris walked up to Archie's office and knocked

"Come in." A voice said from within the room.

Chris turned the handle on the door and entered.

"Ah, Chris, what brings you back so soon?" Archie asked.

"I'm back early because we caught a female Magma Admin. I locked her up in a cell so that she couldn't escape." Chris said.

"Excellent! Good work! She might be a wealth of information if we can convince her to spill bits of information in exchange for us not hurting her." Archie said.

"That's true, boss. I had a feeling we could find some use for her." Chris remarked triumphantly.

"Right, now did the cell you put her in have a bed in it?" Archie asked, clearly wanting to make sure that his prisoner was taken good care of even though she was his enemy.

Chris thought for a moment before he said, "Yes, there was a pretty good size bed in there, but there weren't any pillows or blankets in her cell."

"Then make sure she gets some, I want her to be comfortable. If we treat her well she might open up to us and tell us what we want to know."

"Yes sir, I will see to it that she gets some blankets and pillows." Chris replied.

"Good, now go do that. You're dismissed." Archie said.

"Thank you boss." Chris turned and left the room to do as his boss had instructed.

The first thing Chris did upon leaving Archie's office was to go to the linen closet and pull out a couple of pillows, blankets, and a set of twin sized sheets that had bubble pattern all over them. Then Chris headed back to Arinia's cell. Chris unlocked Arinia's cell, and entered it. He threw all the things onto the bed and grabbed Arinia by the wrist and tied the rope back around her waist and pulled it until it was taut, then he tied the other end of it to a bar in her cell door so that she couldn't go anywhere. Chris set the blankets and pillows on the floor and spread the sheets out over the mattress, then he took the biggest blanket and spread it over the sheets like a quilt and tucked in the sides. Then he put the pillow cases on the pillows and folded the other blankets and set them all on her bed. Chris now walked over to Arinia and untied the rope from the cell door and positioned himself in the doorway so that Arinia couldn't make a break for it and untied the rope from around her waist.

"There, that should make your stay with us a very comfortable one." Chris said to Arinia as he left her cell and locked the door behind him.

"Why are you treating me so well?" Arinia asked.

"It was the boss' orders, you'll see in time what is in store for you, and trust me not all of it will be pleasant so your best bet would be to play along with us." Chris replied.

Arinia didn't reply, she knew that she was in big time trouble. She realized that because she was an Admin they were going to keep her well guarded. Arinia's only hope lay in the fact that she had been supposed to show up for a meeting before she was captured. Arinia hoped that Maxie would find out somehow that she had been captured. Chris looked at her once more through the bars of her cell before he left her to go back to work.

Arinia sat down on the bed and saw the sheets with bubbles all over them, "Ugh, I hate anything that has to do with water.

Arinia decided that she would take a nap despite the ugly sheets, so she pulled back the covers and climbed into bed and laid her head into her pillows and fell asleep still thinking about potential rescue and escape. Little did Arinia know that both of those things would be almost near impossible since she had been placed under high guard.
