Maylu's Second Chance At Life - Chapter 1

When the Balance of Power Shifts
"Hey Maylu, you've got a call from Chaud."  I had just finished putting on my foundation when Roll caught my attention; bringing me to grab my PET and answer it, seeing Chaud's face on the screen.  "Hey Maylu, we got a tip from a confidential informant leading us to a warehouse that is supposedly manufacturing Darkchips.  The Darkloids found out we were on to them and have shut down the traffic system; Lan and I are on our way there by helicopter now, you may get there before us so be careful."  "Aw, what do we need HER help for?!"  Lan's voice whined in the background.  "I'm sending you the map there now; and remember, be careful.  We're not quite sure what it is that we're getting ourselves into."  Chaud ignored Lan, he seems to be very good at that, the link cut off and the map popped up on my screen, showing where my destination was.
"Come on, Roll.  We better get going."  "Right."  Her voice sounded from my PET before I slipped the device into its case on my side, grabbing my scooter and rushing out the door.  "This next right should be it."  I turned on the corner Roll told me to, to find a run down, old building with windows so dusty you couldn't even see through them.  "The door coming up should lead to a back hallway."  Roll instructed me.  I slowly turned the doorknob to find that it was unlocked, before making my way inside, and walking and quietly as possible to the door on the other side of the hall.  I could hear machinery on the other side of the door and peered through it to see all of the machines running and piecing together what I assumed to be Darkchips.  My heartbeat skipped when I heard the door that I entered click; realizing once I was in front of it again, that it had been locked, sealing me inside.  I could hear the other door opening and footsteps coming up behind me, making me turn and see Ms. Yuri with her evil grin piercing right through me.
"Well, well.  If it isn't the Net Police's little pet.  Excellent job Spikeman."  A chill ran right through me as she continued to make her way towards me.  "Can we rough her up a bit?"  Spikeman's voice chuckled through his PET.  The panic must have shown in my face because Ms. Yuri couldn't help, but comment on it.  "Aw, don't worry sweetheart, I know just what to do with you."  Her voice sneered, nearly breaking my wrist in her grip and sending fifty thousand volts coursing through my body and making everything around me go black.
When I came to, my body ached more than anything I had ever felt before, along with the bruises that I had already had.  My head felt so light that the entire room kept spinning before my eyes, making me vomit all over the floor in front of me.  "Look who's awake, Spikeman."  Ms. Yuri's voice chuckled from somewhere in the room, but from where I couldn't possibly tell.
"Y-You're not going to get away with this…"  I tried to cover my fear and nausea, which only made her chuckle again.  "I admire your courage and strength, Maylu, I really, really do, but if your little friends were going to save you, they would have done it by now.  Besides, it was only a matter of time until you found your way back."  Those words sunk in and stung more than anything that I had ever felt before.  What did she mean by that?  It didn't make any sense.  It wasn't long before I began to black out again, my head hitting the floor underneath me.
'Lan, Chaud, help me…'
