A/N: I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaack! Unless you absolutely love this story (which I don't think anyone really does) then you probably didn't miss me when I put Kidnap on a short hiatus. Hehe my beta-reader was the only person who knew this though..so sorry for not telling you guys but again, I doubt that anybody like couldn't sleep at night 'cause I wasn't updating this. Anyways, lets get this thing going. When we left off with Presea, they were about to go to the base of...oh man I forgot everything for this story...hehe. Anyways, on with the chapter!

"All right, up and at 'um!" Lloyd was yelling as Presea and Raine entered Dirk's house. Zelos burst up from a tangle of covers, screaming.

"Nooooooooo! Professor Raine don't die on me! We haven't even gone on our first date!" He then noticed that Raine and Presea had entered, and started blushing crazily.

"Good morning to you too, Zelos," Raine said.

"Good morning, everyone," Regal said, coming down the stairs. "Oh, hello Raine. Good morning to you too, Presea." Regal smiled. Presea couldn't help but blush as Regal smiled at her. Colette then entered the house, exhausted from her walk. She had woken up from being unconscious the day before, and had been strangely in love with Zelos ever since.

"Ok, everyone," Lloyd said, munching on a piece of bacon. "I think it's time we start on our plan to infiltrate the Dessara base. Now, who's going to dress up and who's going to be the prisoners?"

"I will be a prisoner," Regal volunteered instantly.

"I'll be a prisoner too," Presea said, after hearing that Regal was going to. There were probably no uniforms that would fit her anyways.

"And me!" Colette squealed. She then turned to Zelos. "You should be a prisoner too, Zelos!" she said happily. "It'll be fun!"

"Absolutely not," Zelos said, crossing his arms. "Lloyd already told me I could be a guard." Colette then noticed he was dressed in all black, and his red hair stood out sexily. Colette glared at him.

"You're no fun!"

"How about we be serious now?" Raine said, who was also dressed in all black. "There will be no time for jokes in the base, you know."

"I know," Colette said. "I just want Zelos on my team!"

"All right, let's go!" Lloyd said, appearing in the room dressed in black as well. The group set out the door, and hopped on their Rheiards. They flew through the skies, and after riding for about five minutes, the desert city of Triet appeared below them. Presea landed her Rheiard and placed it in the wing pack. Everyone landed beside her, and the plan began.

"'Kay, so I just have to press the button, right?" Lloyd said, lifting the painting off of hooks attached to the wall and placing it on the ground.

"Right," Presea said as the button became visible.

"Okay then," Lloyd said, and he pressed the button. Instantly, the sand started to shift and the familiar staircase appeared before them. "Let's go!" Lloyd was the first in line, and Presea, Regal, and Colette lined up side to side behind him. Bringing up the rear of the line was Raine and Zelos. Raine was serious and acting as though she was a real guard for Dessara, while Zelos was admiring how great Raine looked in her new outfit.

"You're looking splendid in that black tank top, Raine," Zelos said, his eyes turning into humongous pink hearts. Raine instantly whipped out her staff and whacked Zelos upside the head.

"Stay focused, Zelos." Raine said as they began the descent down the stairs. The stairway became darker and darker as they descended deeper, and a smell of murkiness filled Presea's nose as the staircase began to spiral.

"We must be under the lake now," Presea said. "We should be getting there soon."

"I am surprised this area wasn't guarded at all," commented Regal.

"Me too," Lloyd said. "I was hoping I could use my swords a bit before the big fight."

"Hopefully there will be no big fight," Raine said as they continued going deeper underground. "For now, we're only here to look around, and see what the big plan of this place is. And maybe, just possibly free some prisoners." Soon, the darkening tunnel lit up. "We must be close to the entrance," Raine said. "It's amazing how they can fit all of this underground!" The three prisoners bowed their heads, acting as though they were in fact, prisoners. Voices began to be heard, and footsteps. Footsteps approaching rapidly.

"Who goes there?" came the voice of a man, turning around the corner with a lit torch in his hand. He wore a black cloak like the ones that Lloyd Zelos and Raine were wearing, and a small knife inside a scabbard attached to his belt.

"We've come with prisoners from Iselia," Lloyd said, trying his best to sound mature.

"It took you awhile," the guard said. "A ton longer than every other group. And just where is Nobuhiro?"

"He was killed in battle," Lloyd replied. "By an archer with poisoned arrows."

"And you five are the only ones that survived?" the guard asked skeptically. Lloyd nodded. "And you could only find three prisoners out of the entire city of Iselia? Nobody was prepared for that question.

"The others ran out of the city, or died on the way here to Triet," piped up Zelos. "You know how those Iselia people are, poor as could be. Barely have enough money to live there, let alone have enough food to survive a journey through the desert."

"Yeah, that is true." the guard said with a heavy sigh. "The loss of Nobuhiro is a large one. The master won't be very pleased. Well, I suppose you can go on in. Take them straight to the prison." Lloyd nodded, and they followed the guard to a set of large wooden doors. He used a silver key to let them through, and Presea, Lloyd, Regal, Zelos, Raine, and Colette stepped inside the door and into the base of Dessara.

XXXXXXXXXX

"We made it," Lloyd said with a sigh as the doors closed behind him.

"Yes," Regal said. "We made it inside. Now what do we do?"

"We explore," Presea said. "We might not get the chance to wander around here freely again, so make it count this time." Presea remember this particular hallway. She remembered this was the hallway that had lead her to the room directly under the lake. "Don't go to the left, guys," Presea said. "It leads to a room under the oasis of Triet." Everyone nodded, and headed to the right. They traveled through a silver hallway, the walls filled with multicolored cords and wires. An open door seemed inviting to Zelos, and he dragged the group into it. They arrived in a large room, with plants scattered around the office and a steaming cup of coffee on the desk. Someone had been in here recently.

"It's not safe to be in here," Raine said. Presea agreed. They could easily be killed if they were caught in here. "Let's go." Zelos groaned. He wanted to explore more. Presea turned around and accidentally knocked into a plant, moving in a few inches. As the plant moved, Presea quickly flailed her arms out, catching it with both hands before it fell over completely. What she didn't notice was that the small knife she had been fingering in her pocket had fallen out. Presea then followed Lloyd out of the room, and back into the hallway.

"Maybe we should go to the jail cells," Presea suggested. "That way we could rescue the prisoners."

"Good idea, Presea!" Lloyd said. He turned around and smiled at Presea. Lloyd lead the group through some hallways, and then through some more. After what fell like an eternity, Raine finally spoke up.

"Lloyd," she said. "I think we're lost." Lloyd's face turned red, and he rubbed the back of his head with his right hand.

"I think you're right, Professor," he said. "So what do we do if we're lost here? Ask directions?" Presea laughed.

"What are you doing standing around here?" said a harsh voice, ending Presea's laughter. A man, cloaked in black like everyone else, with long blue hair and a scar the shape of an X in the center of his face turned to the hallway that everyone was walking through.

"I was leading these prisoners to the jail cells," Lloyd explained.

"Are you now, Seraxas?" the man said skeptically.

"Serax--?" began Lloyd, but he was quickly nudged in the gut by Regal.

"You are Seraxas, are you not?" the man said, raising an eyebrow. Presea then noticed a humongous sword attached to his belt. Lloyd better not piss this guy off, or he might not live, Presea thought.

"Of...course I am!" Lloyd said.

"Then how are you leading these people to the prisons when the prisons aren't even on this side of the base? I thought you knew this place better than that, Seraxas."

"Err...sorry," Lloyd said sheepishly.

"Here, I will take you there since you seem to have forgotten everything." The large man led the group through endless hallways, until finally they arrived in the cold, dark dungeon area of the Dessara Base. "Here you are, Seraxas." the man said. "Don't let it happen again." he added fiercely.

"Umm...yes, sir." Lloyd replied, and the huge man disappeared into the base.

"I've never seen anyone act so calm around Lord Xenra." said a voice from behind Lloyd. A guard came into vision. "How do you do it?"

"Uhhh..." Lloyd stammered. "I'm used to it, I suppose."

"Oh, cool," the guard replied. "You bring these guys here to be locked up?" the guard asked. Lloyd nodded.

"Yup." The guard handed over a set of silver and gold keys. Lloyd pocketed the set of keys and whipped out his sword. Quickly, he brushed the sword over the mans chest and placed his sword back in its scabbard. He then tripped the man and placed the drug Raine had given to him into the man's mouth. "Sleep well," Lloyd said as the guard's eyes closed and began to fall into unconsciousness.

Then the business began. One by one, he opened the cell doors, freeing all the prisoners as he had back in the Desian Ranches so many years ago.

"Thank you so much," the families said, smiling from ear to ear at escaping. Some faces were familiar faces of people who had once lived in Ozette and moved to Altamira, and people from Meltokio. There was one more cell left, and Presea grabbed the keys from Lloyd and set off to open the final cell and free the last prisoners. The last cell appeared to be empty when Presea first stepped closer to it. She then pulled on the bars...it was locked. Presea used the master key and opened the door.

It swung open with a loud creek, but still there was no sound from inside. Presea stepped inside, curious of why this cell had been locked if there was nobody in there.

Then she saw it.

Lying on the ground of the cell was a body. A very beat up body. This body appeared to belong to a female, wearing a very beaten up purple kimono. The kimono appeared different though. It was outstandingly revealing in the upper area of the girls chest. She wore black pants, and a now dirty pink ribbon was tied around her waist.

"Goddess," breathed Presea. "It can't be...it just cant be...Sheena?"

A/N: Phew! That chapter was very easy and quick to write. I missed writing this story...expect faster updates from now on, no more hiatus. And to my beta reader, I didn't send this to you this time because I'm anxious to upload it...besides I like the constructive critism reviews. Anyways, thanks to Dragonwings144, SuperUltraMonkey, phantom4angel and Uchiha James for reviewing! Cheers!
