Ryan's POV

"Over here!" I called. Earlier today, Josh, Mike, Dan and I were called to search for a girl, who was the same age as us, by the name of Dawn Hikari. We are part of  TPPA.

I saw a huge creepy mansion thing and I had a feeling that the person we had to rescue was in there.

We sneakily crept through the moss covered gates and into the house. Ugh, creepy places... We continued to creep through the house, making sure to keep close to each other.

Suddenly, we heard a scream, then a faint whimper.

"D-Do you t-think that this place is h-h-haunted?" Josh asked. I could tell he was scared.(Duh!) Dan just rolled his eyes and continued to scan the area.

" From the looks of it, the sounds came from underneath us." Dan told us. We nodded and went to find a staircase or lift of some sort.

In the end, none of us could find a way down. " Dan! Use your awesome deduction skills to find us a specific place to look!" Josh said.

" That was actually a pretty good plan. Am I dreaming or was Josh actually smart?" Mike asked. We just looked at  Josh in shock, our jaws dropping.

"Hey! I'm not that dumb! Now hurry up Dan!" Josh argued. Dan nodded and sat down on the floor. The way this works, is that Dan sits on the floor and senses for vibrations in the ground. If sounds are present, it makes the job a whole lot easier.

After 5 to 10 minutes of sitting on the floor, Dan got up, and walked towards a room. I'm guessing it was an office.

" The way down is here. The girl's in a secret room. To open it, we must activate a lever." We nodded and got to work. Josh pulled books, Mike checked behind the picture frames, Dan tapped on the walls and I checked under the carpets, rugs and furniture.

Suddenly, a trapdoor opened, revealing a spiral staircase going under the house.

" I think I found it..." Mike said. Not caring about who found and activated the lever, I carefully started to go down the staircase. Then, I heard screams and whimpers again, but this time, I heard someone say,"Please... help...me..." I looked at the guys, they looked at me. I guess we all heard it. Maybe it's Dawn!

When we reached the bottom, we discovered a whole place filled with people wearing lab coats. Looks like a hidden lab to me.

Dan's POV

I focused on the voice I heard earlier, and followed the same vibrations in the ground. I motioned for the guys to put on our disguises in order to fit in and  not look suspicious.

Soon, I reached a room with  a white door and a sign that read, " do not enter, tests in progress."

I motioned for the guys to use their x-ray goggles to see what's happening. However, before we could do anything, an announcement was heard.

" Everyone evacuate! The power has not developed yet! It will blow up in approximately 40 minutes!" Then, it ended. We saw a man leave the room and we sneaked inside.

Once inside the room, we saw a girl tied to a chair with some kind of chain around her neck. I quickly scanned her DNA and confirmed that it was indeed, Dawn Hikari.

Mike helped me untie her and we left the building through the backdoor. Luckily, no one saw us.

" Lance, we've completed the mission. We got the girl. Please send us a ride. " Mike said.

Soon, a jet landed and we scurried in. We had to be quick or someone will catch us.

Dawn's POV

Ugh, my head! Where am I? I woke up in a bed and my head was throbbing!

"Oh good, you're awake! Dawn, right?" A red-headed girl asked.

" Um... Who's asking?" I asked suspiciously.

" We're part of TPPA and the guys were sent on a mission to go rescue you." She said. Oh, so they're part of TPPA huh? I'll just contact Dusk and I'll be outta here!

I got out of bed, walked up to the beside table, picked up the phone and called Dusk.

"Hello? Dusk? You there? Yeah, I'm at TPPA, bring me a ride and I'll be home soon." I put down the phone and walked out of the room.

"Um, Dawn right? What do you think you're doing?" Oh shoot! I got a slight hint of déjà vu and ran off. Luckily, Dusk already got my ride outside the main window, so I jumped out and got in the jet.

??? POV

Why?! We just saved this girl and she jumps out the window? I gotta tell Misty, Nicole and Sapphire about this. Us girls should be able to track her down. With that being said, I went to find the others...
