Underhanded Cheer tactics http://ed3765.deviantart.com/art/Underhanded-Cheer-Tactics-308217361 "That damn Natalie! I will get her for this, no one makes a fool of me!" Nina declared as she paced around her room which was big as a small home. "What bothers the miss tonight?" Her servant asked with a dull and uncaring tone. "It's Natalie again! She has gotten in my way again in my cheerleading group! She is making a mockery of me! I want her stopped!" "Then why don't you miss?" The butler replied in the same tone. "She has some very bothersome friends! If only they-" She began to say as she stopped as her face showed she had a idea, a devilish idea. "Has the miss come up with something?" The butler asked. "Yes, a idea that will get her out of my hair for good." Nina said with a laugh as lighting and rain began to pour down outside. "Hows the Nina problem going?" Alex asked as she was dressed up in her softball outfit which was a dark red t-shirt with grey pants with red knee socks with her hair tied up with a red and white cap on her head. "Awful, her last plan involved kidnapping our whole swim team on the bus which was on their way to the state championship." Natalie replied with a sigh as she was dressed up in her cheerleader outfit. "And how is she not being arrested for all of this?" "From what I understand, she has pull and lots of it. It's going to be impossible to deal with her." Natalie said with another sigh. "Well you will up her one of these days and she will crawl back into her hole." Alex said with a smile. "I hope your right." "I am. I have to finish changing, cheer for me a lot out there!" Alex said running down the hallway. "Count on it." Natalie said as she headed for outside. As Alex entered the changing room she found it empty already. "Dang it there already changed. There should be some app or something to kick people off when they spend too much time on headbook." Alex complained as she headed over to her locker and opened it to change her shoes. As she reached in for them after taking off her own someone strong grabbed both her arms and twisted them behind her back. "Hey! Whphpemep!" She began to say as a red cloth was pulled over her mouth tightly and held in place by someone. She was forced to the ground due to someone placing their knee on her back to hold her down as someone else held her arms and another held a cloth over her face. "Hphmmppmh!" She moan through he cloth as she struggled and soon stopped when Nina appeared before Alex in her cheerleader outfit. "Hello Alex, are my men treating you right?" She asked with a giggle as Alex glared at her. "Hhphpmpmpmrrrrmpm!" Alex grunted as she shook her head. "That's good, sorry but I'm afraid you will have to miss today's game. Don't worry though I'm sure we will still win. So take the day off and have nice nap." Nina told her as a sack was thrown over Alex's head leaving her in darkness. "Get this off!" Alex cried out now that the cloth was gone from her face but she quickly smelled something very sweet from the sack and soon her world began to spin before her eyes rolled to the back of her head and she passed out and was carried off. "Oh yeah! To the dance of the beat of the killer beat!" Hana sang to herself as she listened to her favorite song on her MPZ player through two ear pieces while wearing a black tank top with a denim skirt with black tights and black boots. As she danced and walked along the sidewalk she passed by a open ally and as soon as she did a black van backed up towards her but she didn't notice due to listening to the song and walking without her eyes open. But she did open her eyes and look to her left upon feeling something close to her but all she saw was two men in black jump out the van which one wrapped a cloth around her mouth and a chain around the middle of her body and began to pull her into the van. "Hrhrphrprm!" Hana grunted behind the cloth as she was able to stop herself from being pulled into the van by holding onto the edge of the van with her feet and kept crying out behind her gag for help but no one was in the area and soon she was pulled in with the doors shut behind and the van sped off with her. Natalie look worried along with the rest of the squad as the softball game was about to get underway and their star starter Alex hadn't showed up yet. "Natalie!" The softball coach yelled as he walked up to her. "Where is Alex? The other team has a start up that is making my girls cry like little schoolgirls and I need her to strike them out!" He yelled looking frantic. "I'm not sure coach, she should be in the changing room." Natalie replied. "I just checked, she's not in there. Go call her or something. If I have to put Beth out there to start the pitching I can kiss my bet money, I mean our lead start good bye!" He yelled out. "I'll do that right away sir!" Natalie said rushing off towards the cheerleader locker room with Nina following close behind. Once in the locker room Natalie threw open her locker and made a quick grab for her cell phone and dialed Alex's number but only got the voice box. She then dialed Hana's and got the same. "What's going on?" She wondered looking more worried. "Looking for someone?" Nina asked nonchalantly as she appeared behind some lockers. "You." Natalie hissed out. "Why did you do with them?" "Who? Who would I do anything to?" She asked looking innocent. "Drop the act! What did you do with my friends?" Natalie demanded. "Friends? Could you mean these two?" She asked as she held up her cell phone showing a picture of Alex and Hana bound together with both tied up in thick cord around their arms, chest, legs, ankles and wrists and gagged and blindfolded with silver tape with their shoes missing. Seeing this made Natalie gasp out in shock as she looked at Nina. "Why?" She simply asked. "Because I'm tired of you Natalie. I don't like you and I don't want you on the team. So here's the deal, your friends will be let go but for that to happen you must skip this game as a cheerleader and soon after it ends you hand in your resignation of quitting the team. Do that, they go free. Don't and you never see them again." Nina said as she opened her locker and tossed her phone into it and slammed it shut. "You can't do that!" Natalie shot back at her. "I can and will! I have no problem sending your two friends over seas in some small cramped fright box. So stay out of this game and quit or no more friends." She warn Natalie as she left the room with haste. "AAARRRAAHHGGHHH!" Natalie roared out with rage as she kicked the locker very hard which opened the door into Nina's stuff. She picked up the cell phone and looked at the picture of her two friends. She began to cry a little till she suddenly had a idea and rushed to a nearby computer to find out where the picture came from. "Man I can't believe were stuck babysitting." A male who wore a suit with dark sunglasses said as he stood next to another person dressed the same and both were standing in front of a dark van in a empty lot not far from the school. "Hey it's not all bad, the pay is good and the hush money we'll also get will pay for drinks tonight." He said as they both laugh. "But the one dark haired chick is really feisty." The first man said. "Yeah, good thing we had that stuff to clam her." The other said as they looked out into the lot and watched some cars pass the nearby road. Behind them Natalie slowly crept up to the van and hid by the front as the men had the back of the van covered. She tried the driver's side door but it was locked and she tried the other door and to her luck it was unlocked and she quickly slipped inside the van and climbed into the back and saw her friends still tied up but without blindfolds. "Hrhprm?" Alex looked at the noise groggy and saw Natalie and was about to cry out in joy when Natalie held up a finger to motion her to be quiet as Hana also saw this. "Don't worry, I'll free you two." She said in a whisper but had to cover her own mouth from stop coughing as there was a strong order in the air that was coming from a burning incense. "That's some powerful stuff." She commented as she began to work at Hana's bindings but this caused the van to rock slightly making the two men check inside. "Can we help you?" One of them asked as Natalie let out a eep. "No, just passing by." She said as she continued to fiddle with Hana's knot with one hand. "Hey, isn't she the one the boss is after?" "Yeah, grab her and we'll just ship them all off!" The man said as they reached in but Alex launched herself forward and knocked herself into the men causing them to fall to the ground giving Natalie enough time to free Hana's wrists. "Hrhrhrpmr!" Hana moan at Natalie to hurry. "Nrnrnrpnrp!" Alex grunted as she did her best to keep the men down for long as possible. "Get off!" One of the men said as the other grabbed the squirming Alex and he got up in time to see Hana's fist flying towards his face which sent him flying backwards with his broken sun glasses and him hitting the floor. "Why you!" The other guy said as he tried to tackle Hana but ended up knocked to the floor by a vicious spinning kick. "Thanks Natalie." Alex said as she peeled off her gag. "No problem, but we need to get back to school and finish the game." Natalie told her. "What about these two?" Alex asked. "You leave them to me." Hana said cracking her knuckles. "I need to make it clear I hate incense." She said as she dragged the two into the van and shut the door. With no time to lose, Alex and Natalie headed back to school quickly with girl screams coming out from the van they ran from. "Boy she looked mad." Alex said as she with Natalie and Hana watched Nina storm off the school grounds after winning the game. "Yeah, but see deserves it." Natalie said as Hana walked forward. "I'm done waiting to see what she does next, we finally declare war on her?" She asked. "We need to teach her not to mess with us." "Yeah." Natalie replied. "I think it's time we take the war to her." The end for now.
