Matsuri had been missing for at least 3 days since she went out... Nikki was worried as to what may have become of her recently-made friend. The two shared some common interests together and quickly felt a bond form between them as they got to know each other. The three days that passed since her mysterious disappearance felt like forever... and halfway through the fourth day, she could no longer stand idly by, wondering if the police will ever find her blue-haired friend; desperate times call for action.
It was time for an investigation into Matsuri's disappearance. Nikki spent hours gathering information and clues as to what may have happened to Matsuri. At first, it didn't seem like she was getting anywhere, but soon she began to pick up some leads as to what may have happened... it seems a couple of men came for Matsuri, and they brought her to a place to talk... the men in question were said to be quite suspicious and had been asking around the neighborhood for her.
Further investigation revealed that one person happened to see them as regulars in a bar. Nikki went to examine this further, and upon finding the two thugs, who apparently had some injuries which were wrapped in bandages, she overheard them talking about how they managed to capture "a spiky-blue haired girl", with one of them saying he was going to get revenge on her for the beating he received from her someday. These must definitely be them!
As they left, Nikki quickly followed after them. Following them on her moped after the men as they drove off in their car, she'd tail them carefully and from a distance until they stopped at a decrepit old house outside of town... perhaps this must be where they're holding Matsuri! Nikki hid her bike before she proceeded to sneak inside through the back entrance after picking the lock open, and began prowling around inside the house.
However, one of the men spotted her, and quickly grabbed her from behind! "What are you doing!?" He angrily yelled, holding her fast.
Nikki gasped, struggled, and fought against her assailant, but he swiftly managed to restrain her and drag her to his partner, where they both held her down and bound her up tight with rope into a neat bundle. She began to yell out in protest, but they swiftly tied a thick cloth over her mouth and double knotted it tight and secure behind her head, effectively muffling her.
At that moment, a tall woman in dull red armor and long purple hair over one eye approached, "So you boys caught another intruder, have you?" The woman kneels in front of Nikki and cups her chin, raising her head up to examine her face, "Hm, a pretty one... not unlike that ugly freak we captured. Throw her in the room with her... I think I may have a way of using her for my plans."
With that, one of the two men lifted Nikki up and slung the wriggling captive over his shoulder, with Nikki letting out angry, muffled protests, and shaking her head around to try and work off the gag. But her cries fell on deaf ears as she was carried to a room and roughly thrown inside, where she landed next to none other than Matsuri, who sat helplessly bound and heavily gagged nearby, and the same Matsuri who had been missing for the past few days.
"Mmmmmmmm!" Matsuri yelled, seeing Nikki land before her. She then turned her gaze to Zanthie, glaring at her angrily.
"Hohoho, you would be cute while you were angry... if you weren't so freaking ugly!" Zanthie mocked, reaching over to grab ahold of the doorknob, "Make yourselves comfortable, girls. It's a matter of time before I happily dispose of both of you. No one will even know where you disappeared to...~"
With that, Zanthie slammed the door shut and bolted and locked the doors... Matsuri and Nikki were now helpless and trapped... how were they going to get out of this horrible predicament?
