[hr][h1][i][color=red]Meifeng Vuhong.[/color][/i][/h1][hr] [i]Where did this bastard go?[/i] The thoughts came and went as Meifeng kept running after this bastard scientist. Praying to God that she wouldn't be running headfirst into danger herself. She could hear his footsteps over her own, and they were getting louder. She caught up to him, and saw him stepping through a random door. The door closed halfway - not fast enough to close before Meifeng stuck her foot in between the door and it's frame. She pushed it open, and stepped through, taking a good hard look around, before coming to some conclusions. The man she saw, he was simply sitting down on a chair, using his scalpel to spread peanut butter and jelly on a piece of bread. [i]What?[/i] Meifeng asked herself. [i]Okay, maybe this guy was just a loon.[/i] She stood there for a second, and came to the realization: [i]This guy is a loon.[/i] Best of all, however, he just left himself exposed like this. Which means that anyone with a brain could sneak up on him. Meifeng, on the other hand, didn't waste in time in skipping over to this man, and hopping off her front leg a few inches into the air. She pivoted around in the process of this action, and shot her leg out for one explosive kick. It hit the scientist in the back of the head so hard that he went tumbling forward towards the ground. Stunned, Meifeng quickly circled around the chair and pulled her leg back, and delivered one hell of a kick to the face. Cocking her leg only to do it again, leaving the man's face bloody, and bruised, as she kept kicking. Refraining from pulling any punches. After one last kick, the man was knocked unconscious. The urge to jump in joy was suppressed by another desire; the need to search his body for [i]anything[/i] that'd help her. She gave him another kick to the head to make sure that he was down, before she knelt down, and started desperately digging through his pockets, for a key, or [i]anything[/i]. Her search came to a conclusion when she felt a square-shaped object, and she wrestled it out of his pockets. A phone! Thank God! She can call for help, or [i]something.[/i] Anything to get everyone out of here safe. The problems of who to call, or if it would even be unlocked, were irrelevant. As Meifeng turned the phone on, and with a press of a button, she had access to the (thankfully unlocked) cell phone. She hammered in the phone number for Lihua Vuhong, and pressed call. The situation was having a lot more effect on her - likely having to kick someone's face in would do that. Her heart was racing, and welling worry was building up inside of her that could only be sated by hearing her voice. When Lihua answered, Meifeng didn't even give her time to say hello before she started shouting her own desperate plead, "Mom, [i]mom, [b]MOM![/b][/i] I really need your help right now! I-I don't know what is going on, but strange people [i]kidnapped[/i] me and my friends, and took me to this strange place! I just need hel- [i]Oh no[/i]..." In her cry for help, she didn't notice it. She didn't notice it walking into the room. She didn't notice it standing over top of her. [i]The Nemesis.[/i] It's hulking frame cast a mighty tall shadow. It was just standing there, staring at her. Doing nothing. Meifeng was doing the same. Hopelessly staring at him, his red eyes shining through his mask reminded her of something insidious. Lihua was calling out for her through the phone - but Meifeng barely reacted. The fear petrified her. [hider=Jojo's Bizarre Adventure - KILL A][youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVEGMax42dw[/youtube][/hider] However, the Nemesis was the first to act. He cocked his gigantic fist back, and Meifeng instinctively dove backwards - dropping the phone in the process. The Nemesis stepped on the phone. It's plastic frame offered zero resistance against the weight of the Nemesis. Meifeng took a battle stance - right leg back, and on her toes - as she pulled water out of her pocket dimension that dripped to the floor below her in a steady stream. The Nemesis took a few steps towards her....

Jenny chimed in to the conversation between Ratchet and her cousins, starting off. "What other choice do we have?" It was true, Jen didn't exactly believe that they had little other choice other than to look around. The situation was awful, and it was a damn shame that Ratchet's family got involved in this. These people... they're psychos... crazy. If they were willing to follow people back to their houses, and snatch them up, then that meant they were unhinged as she thought. They didn't give a damn about people, or their rights. They just wanted to be [i]cruel[/i]. Jen hated cruelty. Which is why she's going to do everything in her power to get out of here alive. Then the thought came to her, what if they [i]don't[/i] get out alive? What would be a better option? To live the rest of their lives as experiments to these wackjobs, or die on their own terms? Jen didn't know what the better option was. She realized that thinking like this isn't a good idea - especially in a situation like this. Maybe hoping to see a light to shine again might be better than realizing how grim the situation was. "C'mon." Jenny said, hoisting Anna over her shoulder. They had to catch up to Meifeng before she (Or them) gets into trouble. She nodded her head, before she started moving down the hallway, with Anna over her shoulder. She wasn't going particularly fast, but that was because of the weight of Anna (and Jen not being particularly strong to begin). She was following Meifeng's footsteps. [i]God damn it.[/i] Jenny thought to herself - nearly hissing out loud - after she couldn't hear Meifeng's footsteps anymore. That girl ran so far ahead... Jen and the others might have been able to keep up if Jen wasn't carrying this girl over her shoulder. They had no choice but to keep moving forward, or head back to help the others that were tied down (And hope that Meifeng would be okay). Something inside of her was telling her to keep moving, and she'll find her answers. Those [i]answers[/i] she was looking for came faster than she'd like. One of the doors several feet open exploded open in a cloud of dust and debris as a massive figure came stumbling backwards. Desperately trying not to fall off balance. Seemingly propelled by a jet of water. "[i]Oh![/i]" Jen shouted as she came to a halt - felt like she was coming to a sliding halt. Nemesis certainly caught itself, before standing straight up, and turning it's head towards Jen and the others. It's red eyes shining ominously. "[i]Get back![/i]" Meifeng shouted as she ran up to Nemesis, jumped up into the air, and put both arms together, and swung them like a bat. The water she was manipulating followed her motion, and took the shape of a massive wave. Which hit like a particularly strong one. Sending the Nemesis stumbling backwards into the wall, creating a loud bang and plenty of cracks. Meifeng's feet hit the ground, and absorbed the water back into her pocket dimension as she took a few steps back, and ran over to Jen and the others. Immediately turning around to face the Nemesis as it brushed the dust and concrete chunks off it's body. She was on her toes, ready to move and attack at any given moment. "Oh God..." Jenny thought to herself as she took steps back. This massive man was easily one of the scariest things she ever saw in her entire life. Merely because of how inhuman he looked. He showed no emotion, no pain, it's face was hidden behind a metal mask... was it ever human? "What do we do?!" Jen said in a panicked tone. "... I was hoping you would have an idea." Meifeng muttered to herself shaking her head. Okay, she was praying that her mom would do something, [i]anything[/i]. Maybe all they had to do was stall. Before asking the group, "Any ideas, girls?" "I-I-I think we should run..." Jen said, taking more and more steps back - mobility impaired by Anna. [hr][h1][i][color=dodgerblue]Lihua Vuhong.[/color][/i][/h1][hr] Before Baron could even respond, Lihua's phone began ringing. Huh? Thought she turned this thing off. She reached into the pocket of her shirt - underneath the bulletproof vest - and pulled her phone out. She was getting a call from an unknown number. Odd. Very odd. Usually Lihua would ignore such a thing, but there was a voice telling her that she should answer it. She pressed the button, then slowly put the phone to her ear - getting ready to say hello before she was bombarded with... Meifeng's voice. "[i]Mom, [/i]mom, [b]MOM![/b][i] I really need your help right now! I-I don't know what is going on, but strange people [i]kidnapped[/i] me and my friends, and took me to this strange place! I just need hel- Oh no...[/i]" "Wait, Meifeng!? What's going on!? Where are you?! [i]Meifeng![/i]" Lihua said into the phone after Meifeng - but the phone went dead after a few sounds. She stood there for a few seconds, shocked at the revelation. Holding the phone in her hand as she stared at Baron. "I need to find a computer." Lihua quickly whipped around from Baron, and stormed off into the hallways. Searching for a computer, [i]any[/i] computer. She nearly pushed another Agent down as she stepped into the office section. She walked into the cubicles, and noticed that almost every computer has been smashed, or similarly rendered useless. God damn it. There was [i]one[/i] computer that was untouched. Fortunately, there was one computer untouched by the Fiends. She wasted no time in typing away at it - not even sitting down on the chair - to pull out the program to track phone numbers. She pulled out her phone, and put in the number that called her. She tracked the location to where it was called from: The Bazaar Rivera. Underneath it, in fact. She pulled up another program, and got a in-depth map of the sewers. She zoomed in on the location where Meifeng made her call, and nodded her head. She quickly wrote down the location of the nearest man hole before she got up, and jogged out of the room. Past any and all NEST Agents that were in the way. Lihua went fast as she could to the garage, and ran up to her car. Her car was fortunately untouched (Other than a little vomit on the front end). She quickly unlocked the door with a simple press of the buttons of her keys, then opened the door, and slid inside, putting the Mossberg in the other seat. Before she put her foot on the gas, and began driving off towards the Bazaar Rivera. This might be a trap. People just kidnapped Meifeng just to get to Lihua... but Lihua didn't care. She was going to get to the bottom of this, and help Meifeng if this is the last thing she does. Because Meifeng is her responsibility, and hers alone.
