Hey everyone! I've been brainstorming a lot- and here are the fruits of said labor! The next installment of 'Mi-Na is Missing'!
Mi-Na Hamada had been enjoying the company of her boyfriend Steven. They were going to study some chemistry problems…Steven's car pulled up to a stop sign. Neither of the teens noticed the black sedan behind them. And as they drove through the intersection, the sedan slammed into the back of Steven's car, and he lost control, slamming into a light pole.
While she and Steve were dazed, her door opened, and a pair of strong arms grabbed her and pulled her out of the car. She screamed, "NO! Let me go! Let me go!"
Her screams of protest were silenced, as a handkerchief with a sweet smell was pushed into her face. Within seconds, she went limp. She was then placed into the trunk of the sedan, and the sedan sped off.
That was the was thing Mi-Na remembered…as her vision returned, she saw she was in a room, on a bed. In another room, the four kidnappers watched as she awoke. The leader said, "Let's go introduce ourselves."
He walked up to the door, and slid a large piece of paper under the door. He then said, "Read that, and say 'Understand' when you have finished."
Mi-Na read the paper-You are the 'guest' of criminal gang KURO-KAZE. We aim to ransom you to your father, Hiro Hamada. To ensure your safe return, follow the directions exactly as you are given them.
The writing ended, and Mi-Na said, "Understand." Another piece of paper slid under the door- There is a black hood on the table. When you hear three knocks, you will put the black hood on. You will not remove the hood until you are given a signal of four knocks on the door. If you deviate from these instructions, we will kill you.
Mi-Na saw the last bit, and felt dread run through her. But she steeled herself, and said, "Understand."
Another piece of paper slid under the door. It said-We will attempt to contact your parents. That is all for now. Mi-Na then said, like the other two times, "Understand."
Without her possessions, she had no idea of how long she had been there. But then, she heard three sharp knocks on the door. She turned, and put on the hood. The door opened, and one of the kidnappers came up to her. She heard, in a raspy voice, "Answer this question- When you were eight, you snuck out for a back ally bot-fight. What was the name of the robot you created?"
MI-Na swallowed, and replied, "Sasori. Its name was Sasori."
The voice then said, "Thank you." Mi-Na heard the door close, and latch shut. She then heard four knocks. She timidly reached up to the hood- and once she pulled it off, she realized she was alone. She could only wonder if her parents were worried- until she realized her parents weren't worriers.
It couldn't have been two hours later before the door opened-without the knocks. The kidnappers-who were wearing hoods-burst into the room. One grabbed Mi-Na, and said, "Your parents don't care about you-they are refusing to pay the ransom."
Mi-Na-despite the situation she was in-smiled, and replied, "That's because they're on the prowl looking for me…and you, as well."
The kidnappers said, "And how do they expect to find you in a city as big as San Fransokyo?"
Mi-Na said, "They are geniuses…and my parents. They would tear this city apart to find me."
The kidnappers laughed, and one said, "And we're supposed to be afraid? They are your parents, not God."
Mi-Na-still smiling replied back, "You're right. They're not God...because he would have mercy. They won't…especially my mom."
At that, they kidnappers threw her back on the bed, and they closed the door. Mi-Na exhaled- she had shown them a will that wouldn't be broken-but what would happen next, she couldn't know…
After making contact, Hiro and GoGo headed into the city to track down MI-Na. They prowled in a pair of matching motorcycles-one purple for Hiro, and one yellow for GoGo. GoGo's voice came over Hiro's headset, saying "Well, it's just us."
Hiro replied, "Yeah. I didn't want to bother the others. Wasabi and Ally are taking Liliana to Disney World. Honey and Nate are in Hawaii, and Fred and Baymax are on a humanitarian mission in Africa."
GoGo then said, "So what's the plan?"
Hiro said, "I know of one group that wants at me in the worst way- KURO-KAZE. We have been battling them since I was a teen Hiro."
GoGo said, "A teen Hiro? Ha ha…"
Hiro smiled at that, and said, "And to them, what better way to get at me that by kidnapping Mi-Na?
GoGo said, "Right. So where should she strike first?"
Hiro said, "Let's try the Full House."
GoGo replied, "Wow. That place is a wretched hive…"
Hiro replied, "And we'll no doubt find someone who knows something."
The bikes pulled up to the Full House Bar. Hiro and GoGo walked in-at the bar was practically empty. There were about 10 patrons, scattered about the bar- but their attention turned to the door. The bartender, seeing who it was, said, "No! No! Hiro-I heard about the kidnapping. Please…please…it took me months to get this place back in shape."
Hiro looked around the bar, and dryly replied, "OK…back in shape…we just want to know if anyone here has any info about KURO-KAZE."
There were murmurs…and one guy said, "We don't know about KURO-KAZE. But you can high-tail it…and leave your little lady with us."
There were laughs and whistles. Hiro looked at GoGo, and said, "You know…that's not a bad idea. You down?'
GoGo had the biggest smile, and said, "You know it!" Hiro said, "Alright, I'll be outside."
Five minutes later, GoGo poked her head outside, and said, "Oh, dear…would you give me a hand?"
Hiro returned to the bar, where the unruly patrons had been tossed about by GoGo. Hiro said, "Have any problems?"
GoGo said, "Nope. But this guy wants to talk." Hiro said, "Alright." Hiro grabbed him, and saw a black whirlwind tattoo on his forearm. He said, "Yep-the telltale markings of a KURO-KAZE member. So let's see what he knows."
Moments later, Hiro had the goon tied up in the alley. He slapped his face, and said, "Awake? Good. Let's talk."
The goon said, "I don't know anything 'bout a kidnapping, man…"
Hiro said, "Whoa, whoa…I didn't say anything about a kidnapping…but since you mentioned it, tell me what you do know."
The goon went silent. Hiro said, "Well…I didn't want to do this. I was hoping you'd be a little cooperative with me. But alas…GoGo, your turn."
Hiro walked away…as a motorbike pulled up. GoGo knelt down so that she was looking at the goon, and she said, "We only want one thing- to know where our daughter is. We also know that you're running with KURO-KAZE, as well. So…we've tried to be fair. But...if you want to know the truth...Hiro and I are different."
The goon sneered, and said, "How so?"
GoGo said, "We're both geniuses, that's true. Hiro wants to use his to help the world. But now…with my genius…I can't decide on which way I'm going to hurt you first." She then headed back to her bike, and revved the engine.
The goon said, "Leaving?"
GoGo said, "No. I'm using my genius to conduct an experiment- what happens to human flesh when it's exposed to a wheel on an engine revved up to 3500 rpms." She then lifted the bike, and with the front wheel spinning, brought it close to the goon's face.
The goon, realizing his situation, said, "Wait, wait, wait!"
GoGo said, "Oh…now you want to talk?" She dropped the bike, and Hiro then grabbed the goon and picked him up. Hiro then said, "Tell us everything. Everything."
And that's where this chapter ends! But next time- Hiro and GoGo continue their search for MI-Na!
Author's Note: How about the special additions? Since it's in the future-Wasabi and Allison, or Ally, got married and had a kid, and Honey and Nate (From the Trans-Human Saga) are still together. And Fred is still a Casanova…
