Chapter 28 : Gotta Do Whatcha Gotta Do

The silence was deadly in both vehicles, no one spoke as they made their way to the address Trey had been given. When they pulled up to a huge castle, everyone crowded against the windows. When the vehicles came to a stop, everyone scurried out.

"Whoa! This place is huge!" Jemi said.

"His headquarters was on Cayman Islands?" Chicki asked.

"I don't know, he has headquarters everywhere." Vann said.

"Ok...so what's the plan?" Tiffany asked.

"I don't know what we're up against. So I don't know." Vann said.

"We're going in blind." Jordy said.

Everyone stared at the castle again.

"Ready?" Brandon asked.

Everyone nodded, and made their way to the front door. When they approached the door, it slowly opened. Everyone froze. Keisha stood there smiling.

"Keisha?" Krys said.

"Come on in. We have a lot planned for you tonight."

"What the hell is going on Keisha?" Vivie asked.

Keisha just smiled, and turned to lead the way. Everyone hesitated then headed inside. It was extremely dark as they followed the flashlight in Keisha's hand.

"This is bullshit Imma kill that bitch." Natasha whispered to Krys.

When Keisha opened a door, light filled the hallway. Everyone squinted as they walked forward.

The first thing they saw was Ace sitting on a throne, he smiled at them.

"Welcome." Ace voice boomed, and bounced off the walls. "Glad you all can make it." Ace glanced at Trey, and winked. Trey glared.

""Now I have some amazing activities for ya'll today. If you don't know I love playing games, especially with life and death. So today you have two tasks. Keisha honey..come here please."

Keisha walked over to him. She walked up to his throne, and bowed.

"Keisha would you please be so kind to press that little button for me." He pointed at the wall right behind the throne. Keisha walked over and pushed it. The floor started to shake, and then it started to open. Everyone jumped back, as a glass box lifted up, all the S.U. students that had been Italy were in it. When they saw the others they banged on the glass walls for help.

"This glass chamber is gonna start to fill up with water. In 10 minutes it will be completely full, and then well let's hope your little friends can hold their breaths for long periods of time."

Ace laughed, and stood up. "We will talk about your next task depending on if your friends die or not." He then grabbed Keisha hand, and left the room. Water immediately started gushing into the glass chamber.

" What do we do?!" Cici asked.

"We have to find someway to break the glass." Jordy said.

"No shyt." Natasha said. Jordy glared at her. Natasha raised an eyebrow. "What? Got something to say?"

"Come on guys we ain't got time for that." Vann said. "Ok so anyone bring a gun?"
Natasha pulls out hers,and points it at Jordy. Jordy's eyes widened slightly, Natasha winked then pointed it at the glass chamber. Everyone in it moved to the side so they wouldn't get hit. Natasha took a shot. Everyone held their breath as the bullet slashed through the air, and then bounced off the glass.

"Damn." Natasha said.

"Knew it wasn't gonna be that easy, just had to see." Vann said. "Ok so there must have been some way Ace got them in there."

Vann walked up to the glass chamber, and studied it. He glanced up and saw a little latch at the top it.

"Bingo." Vann said.

Everyone rushed over to his side.

"Ok..so you found a latch, now how do get up there?" Vivie asked.

The glass chamber stood about 25 feet high. Vann glanced around the room, but saw nothing.

"Maybe we should use each other as a ladder." Jemi said.

Vann glanced at her. "Great idea."

"Now this might get heavy, but imma need for everyone to be strong, and sturdy. You understand?"

Everyone nodded. Vann leaned his back against the glass chamber and glanced at Trey. Vann linked his hands, and Trey hopped onto his shoulders, Najja went next. He stepped onto Vann's linked hands, then Trey's to get onto Trey's shoulders. When all the guys were linked, they needed one more person to get on top of their human ladder to climb on top on the glass chamber. Tiffany volunteered to do so. As she climbed up the men,she saw that the glass chamber was half way full. Everyone inside was trying to stay above water. When Tiffany climbed across the glass chamber, she unlatched the latch, and pulled the door open.

"Tiffany!" Monic yelled. Tiffany glanced down at them. She pondered for a moment how she was gonna do this, as the water kept gushing in the closer everyone inside got closer to her.

When the water was high enough she reached her hand in, the first hand she connected with was Tori's. Tiffany yanked with all of her might, and lift Tori out of the chamber. Tiffany could tell Tori had been crying.

"Ok Tori, just climb back down, use the men's shoulder's and you'll be fine."
Tori nodded, and slowly made her way down. When her feet touched the ground, Tiffany nodded, and went to grab another person. She grabbed onto Monic's hand next, everyone froze when the ground started to rumble again. Then Monic's hand slipped from Tiffany's as the water from the glass chamber went down. Tiffany stared down into the glass chamber, when all the water disappeared, the glass chamber started to shake. The S.U. men who had been leaning against, hopped off of each others shoulders, and scattered away, except Keon. He waited for Tiffany to crawl to the edge then she jumped down into his arms. Keon then moved, just as all four sides the chamber came crashing down. Everyone inside of it was soaking wet, and shivering. They ran over to the others, hugging them. Everyone froze when the heard a clapping noise. The glass chamber, sunk back into the ground, and the floor closed back up. Ace came walking from a side door clapping.

"Bravo. That was very interesting to watch.Very smart move, ya'll made this task look so easy."

"Can we be let go now?" Gloria asked.

Ace smiled. "Not yet." Ace glanced up, as did the others. They gasped as Joniesha crawled across the top of the ceiling.

"How is she doing that?!" Tiffany asked.

"Well, I injected her with one of my most recent experiments. She turned out a lot better than I thought. Come on down here to join us Joniesha." Ace said.

Joniesha then just let go of the ceiling, everyone watched as she fell, and fell. When she landed on her feet the castle shook. Joniesha smiled,at them. The smile sent shivers down almost everyone in the room backs.

"Your last and final task is to fight Joniesha. I don't care how you do it, all of you...some of you...one of you. I just want to see a battle. The battle is done when Joniesha falls to her death, or you have fallen to yours. Have fun." Ace said, and left the room.

Everyone stared at Joniesha, and she stared back...waiting.

"I can't kill my best friend." Tiffany said.

" Me either." Natasha said.

"Well she sure as hell wants to kill us." Koca said.

"She's not herself! That device on her head is controlling her!" Tiffany yelled.

"So what do we do?" Jordy asked.

"Either she dies..or she kills us all..that's our only options." Stacy said.

"Not exactly." Vann said. "If I can get the device off of her head, then she'll return back to normal."

"If we can get close enough." Tiffany said. "She's hella strong..how the hell we suppose to do that?"

Vann stared at Tiffany, Tiffany stared back, until his words played back in her head. Tiffany gasped. "Wait! You're not thinking of fighting her by yourself are you?"

Vann nodded. "I think it would be better that way."

"What the hell you mean it would be better!!!!" Vivie said.

"You can't take her all by yourself!" Chicki said.

"That device is controlled by her anger, and her anger is targeted mostly at me. I have to do this." Vann said, his voice wavered a little.

"Fuck." Sabrina said, and glanced at Joniesha. Joniesha was getting impatient, her eyes were glowing a reddish color. Sabrina shivered, and looked away.

"What if she kills you?" Brittbrat asked.

Vann shrugged. "Then I know I went down truely fighting for the woman I love."

Trey then sighed. "I'm so sorry." Vann glanced up at him.

"Trey..please don't dwell on this. We all make mistakes, I won't hold it against you. I just want you to make sure all of ya'll make it out of here safely."

Jemi blinked back tears, and grabbed Vann into a hug. Chicki followed suit, and soon everyone was in one huge group hug. When they pulled apart no ones eyes were dry.

Vann then stepped away from the group, and faced Joniesha. Joniesha immediately pulled out two long swords, and smiled.

Vann glanced back at them. "Go!" He yelled. Vann watch them take off running through the doors to his left. He turned back to face Joniesha, and all he felt was the love he has always been afraid to fully express to her overwhelm his body. Joniesha tossed one of the sword to Vann, Vann caught it.

"Alright Joniesha, show me what you got."


Joniesha's eyes turned a bright red, and she charged.
