"Who are you?" Shasha asked, squinting to see the two figures in front of her. "Why have you brought me here? What have I done?"
"Relax, it's not you we want, but those sisters," A male voice said. "I'm getting my revenge for my brother's death."
"Well, she didn't kill him on purpose," Shasha said, realising who he was. "Someone hired her. If you want, go and find them. Nina had nothing to do with this."
"Ah but Anna did," the man said. "She got him killed on his wedding day. If she didn't announce this and have such a grand wedding, no one would've known John's location."
"Well, she didn't know someone would want to kill him so badly," Shasha said again. "Still, why?"
"You and your 'well'," the voice said, annoyed. "Seth, do it."
"Do what?" Shasha managed to say before Seth pressed a button on his remote.
He did something that stunned her.

"What do we do?" Nina asking, pacing around the room. "We can't track her via satellite. What do we do?"
"We need to wait," Anna said. "They want us, not her."
They sat around, trying to think of their next move when all of their phones dinged at the same time.
"It's an email," Steve said, seeing his phone. "What kind of a sender is this?"
The sender didn't even have an email address. Whoever the sender was, the name didn't show.
If you want to see your friend, come to Ground Zero. Prepare to fight. But mind you, if you use weapons, it would only leave an impact on your friend.
"What is this," Adam said, reading the message. "Is this a ransom note? This is the first time I've seen something like this."
"Ransom indeed," Nina said. "But instead of demanding money like usual, they want a fight. Well, let's give them all we got and bring her back."
They agreed and went there. They told Jin just in case something goes wrong. He said he would send a helicopter there so that they can escape real quick. They parked pretty far away to avoid being seen and also avoid the car from being destroyed.
They stood at the centre, trying to make out what was going on. All of a sudden, a figure wearing a long black cloak came towards them.
"This must be our opponent," Anna said, getting into her stance. "Surprisingly small..."
"Don't underestimate anyone, Anna," Nina said, getting into her stance too. "We need to be our best."
Adam suddenly threw a small cylinder-like object to the side and shouted 'play The Intro by XX!'
The others were confused when the song started playing. He literally brought the voice-activated music player that Doctor Bosconovitch gave him for his birthday.
"Seriously?" Nina asked, annoyed. "But whatever..."
The person charged towards them to attack. They started attacking too. Steve punched them and something fell off their face. The person fell down too.
The four of them stood, waiting for the person to stand. But to their surprise, the person couldn't see them when they were right in front of them.
"What's going on?" Nina asked the others in a low voice, seeing their opponent struggling to spot them. "We aren't even wearing stealth suits!"
"Maybe because they can't see well in the dark?" Adam suggested. "I mean... the place is already dark, it's close to night and we are wearing dark clothing."
"Maybe," Anna said with a shrug. "Do we just attack?"
Steve, who stood nearest to the object that dropped, decided to see what it was. He picked it up and took a close look at it. It was a pair of glasses.
"Guys, they can't see because they lost their specs!" Steve informed. "Whoever it is, they have high index. These lenses are so thick!"
The person heard him and came towards the sound of his voice. They didn't see a rock on the ground and accidentally kicked it, causing them to fall with a feminine grunt. Their attacker was a girl.
Steve decided to be kind and return the glasses. She took it and put it on. But as soon as she did, Steve grabbed her hand and refused to let go.
He had a hunch. He took her hood off and was confirmed.
"I knew it," Steve said, seeing the person under the cloak. "What's gotten into you?"
He took a closer look at her and saw that her eyes were slightly glowing red. Shasha pulled her arm away and gave him a blow, right in the face. He staggered back and almost lost his balance.
"It's Shasha!" Anna shouted in surprise. "Guys! It's Shasha!"
"She's been brainwashed!" Adam said in horror. "I can't believe she would actually betray us!"
"And I can't believe that you're that stupid!" Nina said, annoyed. "She's been mind-controlled, idiot!"
"That's even worse!" Adam shouted, horrified. "How do we... bring her back?"
"The hard way, duh," Nina said coolly. "Alright, come on, evil Shasha."
Nina ran towards her and gave her Heel Hold. Shasha twisted herself free.
"I see, they not only brainwashed her but also gave her more strength," Nina said, jumping up. "That moved would knock anyone out if they didn't resist."
"But they didn't fix her sight?" Adam shook his head. "Now that's just cruel."
Anna ran forward instead and started attacking.
"How did you know it was her?" Anna asked Steve, giving her Serpentine Arm Break.
"Look at what she's wearing under the cloak," Steve pointed out. "It's the shirt you got her."
"The shirt I got her?" Anna asked, trying to remember as she blocked Shasha's unwilling attacks. "Oh that one! The one I got when you guys wore hoods to cover your faces from me, right?"
Shasha suddenly gasped and stopped attacking. Images of the incident flashed in her mind.
"Are you okay?" Anna asked. "Guys! She remembers us! We might be able to break her out!"
"That's an idea," Nina agreed. "Guys! Come on! Let's jog her memory!"
They did bring up subjects and tried to break her out of her spell. But not without attacking her.
"The time in Yakushima!" Nina reminded. "Remember? The stalker?"
"Yeah and my grand entrance!" Adam added, giving his own share of attacks. "Remember? I fell into the pool so many times? The picnic we had the next day?"
"Yeah and we spied on them during their date that night!" Steve added.
Nina and Adam stared at him in surprise.
"Steve?!" Nina shouted, turning towards Steve in shock. "What?!"
"N-Nothing...?" Steve said sheepishly.
"You guys spied on us?!" Adam asked, just as shocked as Nina was.
"Hey, I think we should focus on the fight," Anna said, trying to change the topic. "We need to snap her out of it!"
They could already see that she was trying to fight it but it was too overpowering. She let out a chuckle, showing that she still had some control left in her.
"We need to bring out an even bigger memory to snap her out of it," Adam said. "Any suggestions?"
"I have an idea," Steve said, looking around the place. "Everyone, stand back. I've got a plan."
