After a week of careful planning, the girls initiated plan EMP. They had decided that it would be done when it was around two AM in England when people were still asleep so that escaping together without England's seeing would be easier. Each girl had to come up with a reason that they were going out and didn't want their hosts going along, but the most popular reason between them was that they were going out alone to unwind after such a catastrophic week. Sakura was able to swipe some earpieces from Japan and dispersed them to everyone throughout the week, though she hated having to strain the trust they had for each other.
Amelia turned on her ear piece while she stood by a large, protected building while disguised as a part of the security crew (she swiped some guy's uniform and locked him in a closet). "Connecting now, is everyone online?"
"Hai!" Sakura put on a black ninja outfit that she has found while looking around in the drawer where she had found the dress that Japan let her wear.
"Da, I'm bursting with the excitement." Anya smiled as she put on a Russian military uniform she had gotten from getting one of the soldiers super drunk the night before.
"I feel like such a rebel." François squealed as she entered the building through a window dressed as a maid.
"Just don't get caught, alright?" Alice jeered while she used her magic to change into an official military suit and stuffed her hair into the hat.
"I hope this works; I don't want to have to explain this to the other countries aru." Chun put on one of Yao's military uniforms even though it was a little too big.
"If one of us gets caught, report to the others as quickly as possible to the others so that we can disperse." Feliciana remarked while she entered the poorly protected building while wearing a suit that she had found on the floor in Italy's room.
Each girl casually walked in, and avoided the security guards up front with ease (they were much more trained than any other human or country of this world).
"Okay, notify the others once you've gotten to the EMP radio, we'll go from there." Alice told the others as she tried to locate the room on her own.
Since it was night time, she was able to hide in the shadows with ease. She went through the three levels of the building when she came up to a room labeled EMP. "That was easy."
She opened the door and saw one of the guards sleeping in the chair with his feet propped up. She tapped his shoulder and he immediately fell out of the chair then got onto his feet and saluted her.
"I'm just here to take the next shift." Alice lied but the guard was easy to believe her.
He left and Alice got into the chair and turned her earpiece back on. "Just entered the room; it was easier than I thought."
"Tell me about it. I didn't even need to show any ID aru." Chun answered back.
"Shhh, I think someone's onto me. Ve~~~, oh hello there mister!" Feliciana cut out then came back in later. "False alarm, he was just flirting with me."
Once they all found the rooms, they began the scanning. "I'm not picking anything up." Amelia stated.
"Neither am I aru." Chun sighed.
"Maybe this was just a huge waste of time." Alice muttered.
"Hold on! I think I got something." François yelped. "Definitely!"
"What do you see?" Sakura asked excitedly.
"I see an energy impulse flashing in the area around Iceland."
"Well at least now we know, time for the second part of our plan." Alice took out some white chalk out of her pocket and drew a pentagram on the carpet floor.
Everyone did the same. "Remember the spell is, emov em ot eht teppup restam."
"Uhh, we can try but don't expect much." Amelia got onto her poorly drawn pentagram and chanted the phrase but stammered between words. "emov eh em…ot uh eht teppup…restam." Amelia fell through the floor and ended up face flat in front of Alice.
"Glad you could make it."
Next up was Anya. Since she was once normally summoned on accident by Alice she knew the spell well. "Emov me ot eht teppup restam!" She fell through and landed on Amelia who nearly died from the sudden weight.
"Oh, sorry Amelia."
"G-get off me!"
Next up to go was Sakura and then Feliciana. They both were able to do it somewhat without issue.
"Chun it's your turn." Alice spoke into the earphone.
"O-okay." She stood on the poorly drawn pentagram and started to say the words slowly when suddenly the door to the room opened and she was bombarded by Chinese soldiers.
"Stop!" One of them screamed at Chun who stopped the chant.
"Chun, say it now!" Alice shouted but it was too late. The soldiers had tackled Anya to the ground.
"Go on without me aru! I'll meet up with you guys later ack!" The line went dead.
Anya started to freak out. "Chun! Chun! Chun! Are you there? Please answer, please!"
"Anya we have to go!" Amelia pulled Anya by the scarf and covered Anya's mouth with her hand.
"But Chun!"
"We'll go after her later, but we can't do that if we're caught!" They all ran out in a silence as they tried to avoid security cameras and other guards.
"Chun wirr be okay, I'm sure of it." Sakura told Anya as they ran away into the dark streets to the farthest boarding house they saw.
They entered quickly and walked up to the old woman who was sitting in an armchair and asleep. "So sorry to barge in but we need a place to stay for a while. Do you have any vacant rooms?" Alice asked.
The old lady opened her eyes and turned to her. "Why of course. The cost is three pounds a night including breakfast."
"Is it alright if we pay you at the end of the week?"
"But of course. You all seem trustworthy enough." She wobbled out of her chair and walked them up to two empty rooms. "Enjoy your stay here." She hobbled out leaving the girls alone in their rooms.
"My Chun-Chun is gone." Anya sobbed into her pillow while Amelia tried to cheer her up.
"We'll get her back, don't worry." Amelia patted her on the back lightly and waited until Anya fell asleep to go to her own bed; Alice took the little couch on the wall.
Chun was handcuffed and brought to a station where they put a blindfold on her and duct tape on her mouth. About half an hour later, China came rushing in.
"Aiya, what's the meaning of this?" China walked up to Chun and removed the blindfold and duct tape.
Silence
"Answer me now and I won't punish you aru." China put his hands on the table roughly.
Silence
"What business would you have in a military controlled building aru?"
Silence
China put his hands on Chun's shoulder and looked her in the face. "What's going on aru?"
She put her head back down, her lip quivering. "I-It's all for your protection, so don't intervene aru."
China new he wouldn't be able to get anything out of Chun alone so he called the others up and told them to come down.
"The others are on their way now aru."
Chun looked away from China's face, feeling a mixture of hate and guilt. She worried for the future, and hoped that her friends made it out okay.
Chun looked down at her handcuffs. "You have no idea who you're dealing with aru."
-Guys, I have absolutely no idea if anything I said about EMP's was correct or not.
-I'm open for any critique, good or bad, because it helps me become a better writer. :3
-Hugs for everyone :D
