Out of Hands
After the night before last, the men had a lot of recovering bruises as they cried in pain. The girls were a little scared, but had got their revenge. In the morning on the ship, the men were gathering around as the girls were somewhere playing hide-and-seek. "Alright, what's the problem, now?" Paul asked as he put his feet on a big, red, expensive, footstool as they sat on chairs. "We got security issues here and we need to get hold of them." Lei pointed out.
"What kind of security issues?" Marduk complained as he stretched and yawned real loud. "We got big, tough issues to handle." He said as the men was either falling asleep or daydreaming. "If we got security issues, why didn't you go handle it like a real cop huh?" Hwoarang questioned coolly. As he could tell, he got Lei on his nerves. "I can't handle things on my own. I have to figure the way out of this heck, get a cure for the girls, and protect you dumb idiots all at the same time!" he exclaimed at him.
He waited till Lei turned around and stuck his tongue at him. "Now, where was I? Oh, yeah, we n-." he stopped talking as he saw almost everyone snoring loud as they slept against the chairs. Lee got far against the chair and fell on the floor with the chair on the bottom while he slept. Lei's face got red as he stomped over to the middle of the circle and coughed to their attention. When the group didn't wake, he did it again. They didn't wake.
"WAKE UP!" Lei screamed loudly. The group jolted up from the chairs with alert as Lee jumped up and tripped over the fallen chair. They calmly sat down as Lei stood in the middle. "Now, there's someone on this ship that is trying to kill the girls for a mysterious reason. We, men, are here with this killer as we are either partying or protecting the girls. Now, we need to-. Yoshimitshu, stop it!" he said as he looked at Yoshimitshu, who is staring at Bryan as Bryan staring at him with angry eyes.
They stopped as they turned around without looking at each other. "As I was saying, we need to do something about this. Either we capture the culprit or-." He said. "Beat him up till he's pleading for his momma!" Marduk exclaimed as all the other men cheered along, "Yay!" "Yes, we could do that or-." He began to say. "Fried him up with extreme heat that he'll look like burnt chicken!" Paul exclaimed as the men cheered along again. "Um, that maybe too drastic or I was thinking-." "Getting him with a group hug!" Lee exclaimed. The room was silent as they heard crickets chirping somewhere. The men stared at him as he looked around the room. "Or not." He added as he sat down.
"All we need to do is to capture this killer before he attacks us." Lei said as they sat down. "How are we supposed to do that?" Jin asked. "The killer can easily attack us if we either would be separate or all together at the same time, who knows when he will attack?" he said as the men nodded their heads in agreement. Lei brought his hand up to his chin in deep thought. "I think I have a plan." He said.
In the big room known as the living room, Nina, Anna, Christie, Julia, and Asuka were hiding behind objects as Xiaoyu was leaning against a red recliner with her arms crossed over her eyes. "22...23...24...25..." she counted as they waited patiently behind the objects. As she continued counting, Anna was impatient with the long count. "Nina, when will she be finished?" she whispered to Nina, who was near her. "I don't know."
"Ready or not, here I come!" Xiaoyu exclaimed with joy as she spun around and ran to find the girls. A few minutes passed as Xiaoyu found Asuka underneath a table, Julia behind a plant, Anna behind the television, Nina behind the chair, and Christie underneath the bear rug. "I found everyone! I found everyone!" she cheered as she hopped up and down as the others sighed. "Alright, who's goes next?" Anna asked as the girls looked at each other in confusion.
"I think its Asuka's turn." Nina replied coolly as they looked at Asuka, who stared at everyone with big eyes. "Me?" she asked as she pointed to herself. "It's your turn." Xiaoyu said as she hopped again. "The home base will be the desk." Anna said as she pointed to the desk that had a Dell computer on it.
"The person who you catch last will be it." She said as she stood with no emotions. Christie stepped up and suggested, "Why can't we play without the lights on?" They looked at her as she giggled a little. "Yeah, it will be more fun without the lights on." Julia said as she stood beside.
"Okay." Nina said. "We'll play without any lights on." They agreed as Nina and Anna flipped the switch and covered the windows with bed sheets. "Start counting!" Anna shouted as Asuka, who was in front of the desk, leaned forward with her arms crossed her eyes and started to count. As she counted, she could hear running footsteps pound against the ground as the others ran to hide.
"24…25…26…27…28…29…" she counted slowly as the others were hiding in the dark. "30, here I come ready or not!" she shouted as she started to walk. She slowly walked as she tried not to hit something valuable or fragile. She reached her hands out as she tried to find her way around. As she continued to walk forward, she felt a cold, smooth, round, thing that she rubbed around.
"What's this?" she questioned herself as she tried to examine it again. She felt around and found herself rubbing a Beethoven bust. "A bust? I don't remember seeing this bust in the room." She said to herself. She lifted her hands off the bust; a hole appeared below her as she fell in with her screaming loudly. "AHHHHHH!" she screamed as she was carried out into the darkness.
Lei walked in the dim-lighted hallway with the men following him. He stopped in front of the room that had a sign that said, "Monitor Room." He opened the door wide to reveal a wall of screens with computers on the bottom with their screens lit brightly. They walked in as Lei sat in front of one computer on a cushioned seat.
"What is this place?" Hwoarang asked as he rummaged through the files in the file cabinet. "This is the monitor room. It got a million of cameras everywhere in the whole ship even the bathrooms." Lei said as he typed on the keyboard. "Even the bathrooms!" Paul exclaimed. "Oh, boy." Marshall said as he put his hand on his forehead.
Steve walked over and stood by Lei. "What are you doing now?" he asked as he watched Lei typed. "I'm programming the cameras in all the rooms to find the girls." He answered as he pressed the enter button. An image appeared on the screen to see the girls in a big circle. "Where are they now?" Jin questioned. "They're in the living room." Lei said.
Steve leaned over to the screen and saw something. "There's only five." He said. "Five? Isn't it six?" Yoshimitshu said as they all gathered along the controls. "There's supposed to be six, but one's missing." Marshall said. "There's Xiaoyu, Christie, Anna, Nina, and Julia." Paul said as he pointed to each. They stood still as they were silent. "Where's Asuka?" King questioned.
Asuka lay against the cold, hard concrete as she breathed lightly with her eyes closed. She opened her eyes to see red light coming from ten huge boilers that was taller than her small self. She stared at it as flames rushed out of the boilers with extreme heat. She felt herself getting hot as she crawled back from the heat.
She crawled back more until she hit against something hard. She looked up to see a pair of eyes from the dark. "Where do you think you're going?" the guy questioned as she gulped. The guy bent over as he picked her up with her struggling to be free. "Who do you think you are! Huh!" she yelled as he walked over to the corner of the boiler room.
She got mad as she started to punch him with her fists and kicked him a couple of times. The man stood still as her kicks and hits were like soft and didn't hurt a bit. He laughed as she tried to punch him in the chest. "You think you could hurt me?" he said as he leaned his head over in front of hers.
POW!
He crashed against the steel wall as he collapsed on the ground revealing a huge impact in it. She landed on the ground as she walked over and stood in front of him. "Yes, I can." She said coolly as she walked away from him. The guy jumped up and quickly grabbed her collar of her shirt.
"You women fighters are a pest! You won't leave me alone for one second as I tried to control my plans without you interfering!" he yelled as he shook her harshly. "Now, since I got you, I'll make sure you'll never interfere again!" he shouted as he walked over to one of the huge boilers. Asuka struggled as the heat got hotter and hotter. He stood in front of a huge boiler that got a lid open that revealed hot, melting, lava. He pulled her over the hot lava as she stopped struggling and stared at the lava.
He snickered at her as she got a frightened look on her face. "Are you almighty now, Asuka!" he exclaimed as she pulled her legs up from the lava. "Too bad, that the other fighters aren't here to save you!" he said as he laughed crazily.
Lei typed furiously as the screens flashed brightly to show images of other rooms. "Not here, not here, not here." He said continuously as he looked at one screen to another. "There!" Bryan said as he pointed to one screen. The others looked at it to see a cloaked man holding a frightened Asuka over a pit of hot lava.
"What room is that?" King asked as Lei looked at the computer. "That's the boiler room on floor 9." He replied as he turned to look at the screen. The cloaked man laughed as he held Asuka over the pit. "That dude is out of his mind!" Eddy exclaimed as he watched him laughed again. "We got to go down to the room." King said as he ran out the door with the guys looking at him. They looked at each other until Lei jumped off and followed him with the men behind him.
"Stop it!" Asuka yelled as the heat grew hotter. The man stopped laughing crazily. "You're insane! Go to a shrink!" she yelled at him. "Don't you tell me what to do!" he yelled at her back. "I can tell you what to do, you big wuss!" she exclaimed as the guy became annoyed. "That's it! You're going to die!" he yelled as she looked at him.
BAM!
He got knocked down right behind as he fell down with a broken tooth with Asuka falling. "Ahh!" she screamed as she fell. Just about when she was about to get burned up, she was suddenly stopped as she looked up to see King holding her. "Hey, Kingie!" she exclaimed cheerily as he put her down on the ground.
"Are you alright?" he asked her. "I'm fine!" she said as she hopped. "Hey, King!" Hwoarang shouted. They turned to see the others running towards them. They stopped as Lei stepped up and asked him, "Did you get the cloaked guy?" King turned around and found no one near the huge boiler. "He got away." He said.
"Oh, man!" Hwoarang yelled out as he kicked one of the boilers. His face got red as he hopped on one foot and carried his other foot. "Owwwwwww!" he cried as he hopped around. The men laughed at him as he cried like a big baby. "Come on, let's go." King said as he, Asuka, and the men went upstairs.
Asuka ran from the group and into the living room to find the girls in a big circle. Anna, who was peeved, stepped up with a frown on her face. "Where were you? You didn't even catch one of us and we practically searched for you everywhere." Asuka rubbed her head with a smile on her face. "I'm sorry. I guess I was lost."
Xiaoyu stepped up with a smile, "That' alright. We're going to play again!" They looked at her with a stare as she stopped. "We're going to play that again?" Nina questioned. Xiaoyu looked at Nina, "What's wrong with it?" "It's getting boring." Julia said as Xiaoyu looked at them hopelessly.
"Then, what are we going to play?" she asked. She got hit by a pillow as feathers around her were falling on her. "PILLOW FIGHT!" Christie exclaimed as held the pillow up and hit Xiaoyu again. The girls laughed as they grabbed pillows from the beds and started hitting each other. They ran all over as they hit each other with pink, fluffy pillows with their loud giggling and laughing filling up the room.
In another room, the cloaked guy was trying to fix his tooth in the mirror, but failed as his tooth fell down on the ground. "Dang those girls!" he shouted angrily as he picked up his tooth and washed it.
"Why do they interrupt my perfect plans of world domination!" he shouted as he dried his tooth with a wash towel.
"They won't stop bothering me! How could I get rid of them!" he said angrily as he shined his tooth. As he tried to put the tooth back in place, the tooth fell out of his grasp and fell in the sink's drain. He stared in the small hole as he was absolute silent.
"Curse you, girls!" he screamed out as the mirror cracked from the scream. 'You're going to get what you deserve a long time ago!' he thought as he took out a wrench and started to disassemble the pipes.
