Happy Birthday, Athena!

It was evening. As soon as Athena got home from her after-school training, as per her master's orders, she was swiftly grabbed as she stepped into her house, the place in total darkness. A strong arm held her fast while a hand clamped over her mouth, muffling her cries, while another person grabbed rope. She was then pinned down to the floor, where she struggled and thrashed, but was overpowered and tightly bound up in a neat bundle.

"Wh-who's there?! Who are you?!" She cried into the darkness. She opened her mouth to yell for help, but before she could shout, a thick cloth was pulled over her mouth and tied securely behind her head and under her hair, thoroughly muffling her cries. She thrashes her head around to try and work off the gag, but it was no use.

Her captors blindfolded her shortly after, and one of them slung her over their shoulder and began to carry the wriggling captive off to who knows where. She was then tossed into the backseat of a car, and locked inside while her captors drove her off. Without being able to see, Athena would have no idea where she was being taken, and assumed her captors were going to try and hold her for ransom, or worse. A feeling of dread overwhelmed her.

Some time passed as Athena was driven off to who-knows-where. It felt like the journey of 1,000 miles before the car finally stopped and the captors silently get out of the car, taking the fighting idol with them shortly after. She whimpered into her gag as she was once again carried into someplace over the shoulder of what seemed like a larger man.

She was then set onto a chair and soon, Athena's blindfold came off. And she was suddenly greeted by a loud "SURPRIIIISE~!"

Athena's eyes went wide in shock and confusion as she found herself staring forward into a birthday cake across the table, flanked by her friends on each side, and gifts strewn about along the walls from her fans and friends alike. She was in such bewilderment that she didn't notice a birthday cap being strapped onto her head by Kensou beside her.

"Happy Birthday, Athena-chan!" He shouted, "Great surprise, huh?"

Great surprise indeed... though when all this is over, someone's head was going to roll.
