Molly sat in the chair staring at the ceiling. There was nothing else she could do, and she was stupendously bored. Her hands were brutally numb from the ropes that bound them, but she was able to move her legs around. She started swinging them back and forth out of boredom, but quickly stopped because she noticed that the chair was tipping over. 'OOPS! Don't want that to happen. I'll NEVER get outa here.' She warned herself. Without warning the door swung open again and out came Ninja Girl! "Oh, look. It's a bird. No it's a plane. No, it's NINJA GIRL!" "Shut up, Miss Goody Two Shoes, Molly." Said the mystery woman. She pulled off her mask to reveal her true identity... Molly gasped at the person who she was now staring at. "Tori?!" "Wow! I'm amazed. A Holly with a BRAIN!" "What do you want you big mean bully?" Tori had a twisted smile on her face and kept it there like it was plastered there. "Raven didn't have the heart to do this. I don't get what he sees in such a stupid, naive farm-girl like you. I'm going to enjoy torturing you, Molly. This is going to be fun!" "Define fun." "Well there's the four basics of torture. There's hot and...and... well I forgot the other three, but we can make them up as we go. Ok? Well first on the list, we wouldn't want you to squeal and give away your location, now would we?" Tori stopped talking at grabbed a roll of duct tape, pulled off a piece, and taped Molly's mouth shut. "Now Molly, we will discuss how you'll change your mind about Raven." Tori said hauntingly. She whipped out a lighter with the DX logo printed on the side. She tried to light it, but it had apparently run out of lighter fluid. Molly sighed with great relief. "Damn lighter!" Tori swore at the object her ex-boyfriend X-Pac had given her months ago. She got frustrated and threw the lighter at the wall. "Fine, if plan one won't work than we'll move on to plan two. Tori said proceeding to beat the living tar out of Molly. When she was finished, Molly's chair was tipped over and Tori ran back up the stairs not noticing a pocket knife she dropped remarkably close to Molly's hands. Molly did though.

"Crash you take this side of the arena and I'll take the other. We'll meet back at Molly's locker room in a half an hour. Got it?" Bob instructed Crash about their search for Molly. "Got it!" Crash exclaimed, running to his designated search area, to start looking for Molly. "Oh dear God, I left him by himself." Bob said out loud, assuring himself Crash would behave. Bob ran off to go searching for Molly. Crash started in the kitchen. Out of all the normal places he checked, like behind doors and counters, he did get a little sidetracked when he passed the macaroni and cheese sitting on the stovetop. "Whoo-hoo! Macaroni and cheese!" Crash yelled out wolfing it down. When he was finished the half hour was almost up, so he ran back to Molly's locker room. Bob on the other hand, was actually searching. In the time Crash had eaten all the mac and cheese, he'd looking in both his and Crash's locker rooms, asked five different people of her whereabouts, and he'd checked the entire upstairs level. He ran back to Molly's locker room. He was already late. Crash wandered around Molly's locker room. Since Hardcore was late, he decided to inspect the room for the fiftieth time. "Not under here!" he cried aloud to himself as he searched underneath the couch. As he stood back up, he felt a hand connect really hard with the back of his head. "She wouldn't be under there you dope." Bob said now facing Crash. Crash wasn't paying attention. "Ow! That hurt, Cousin!" Crash exclaimed rubbing the back of his head. "Would you just shut up? Apparently you didn't find her either." Crash developed a sad expression all of a sudden. "What are we going to do now?" "We're going to sit and wait." "What good is that going to do?" "Just trust me, Crash."

"Almost got it!" Molly said to herself as she continued to cut at the ropes. She had been working at them for the past half hour. She kept going at it until she was able to move her hands. "Yes!" she celebrated quietly, picking herself up off the floor. But as she started walking toward the stairs, a sharp pain shot through her left leg almost making her fall. "Come on, Molly. You can do this. You have to." Molly said to herself as she slowly made her way up the stairs. When she reached the door, one of those darned what ifs crept into her brain. 'What if the door is LOCKED?!' Luckily for Molly, Tori had forgotten to lock the door. Molly quietly opened the door and peeped out. She noticed that the room she was now in, was a cafeteria an awful lot like the one in... THE ARENA. She silently glanced over to her right only to see Raven and Tori talking about something. "I specifically told you NOT to hurt her, Tori! I told you to SCARE NOT to annihilate!" "What do you even see in her anyway?!" Tori retorted. Raven yelled something back and the argument dragged on, but Molly took the risk. And ran out the opposite door. (even if it killed her leg.) Just as Molly got out the door, Raven turned his head to see the door shut. "Shoot! Tori, did you leave the basement unlocked?!" Tori had to think for a minute. "Oops, I guess I did!" But Raven was already out the door.
