As quietly as a cat, ElectraWoman made her way down the secret hallway. She had a candle, trying not to use her battery. Stopping for a moment, she thought that she heard a noise coming from the hallway that led past the labyrinth. It continued into darkness. She suspected that it connected to the other tower. Indeed, after counting two hundred steps, the hallway came to an end. She felt around the wall. Then she heard what sounded like talking, coming from behind the stone wall. For ten minutes she looked and felt. And then she hit the spring, in a crook on the ground. The wall opened into a door.
She stole away up the stairs, damp and slippery. There were two doors. One was clean of cobs. She chose the other, and entered a room with dim light. She gasped as she saw a person on the ground, tied up. It was still, a pool of blood coming from a slashed neck. The heroine gasped. She was horrified to see the body of a black-haired woman who looked just like the Princess!
ElectraWoman turned around quickly, about to run out, when she ran into a tall person. "What? GenMMMMMMMM!!! " A hand reached around her, covering her mouth with a fool smelling cloth. She pushed her arms into the chest of the tall assailant, trying to press her electracomp. But the henchman grabbed her hands as she was being smothered by the chloroform from behind her. She struggled violently, pushing and shoving, as each villain kept their hold on her. She began to feel light headed. Then all went blue.
With her clothes and hair a mess, Judy returned to her room. But she had one incredible smile on her face. "I just love Tourenbourg," She muttered to herself. Casually she got into a bathrobe. Then, by chance, she remembered Lori, and figured she should check on her friend.
She entered her room, finding the clothes laid out neatly. Then Judy saw the powerbook. She typed a code and retrieved a message. "Judy, the sounds came back. ElectraWoman is investigating." Judy ran over to her outfit, and slipped it on.
In the hidden aisle, DynaGirl followed her mentor's footsteps. Her electratracking was as low as it would go. She finally came to the hidden doorway which had been left open. Atop the stairs, her tracking showed many steps by both doors. She couldn't clearly see which way ElectraWoman's boots went. So she chose the door knob without the cobwebs. It opened into a hallway. At the end was a flickering light. She crept on trotter tip toes, making her way to the entrance. She turned in, confronted by a shocking vision....
There, in front of her, was ElectraWoman, strapped onto the side of some device. Her partner was lashed at her hands and wrists, above her head, on either edge of what appeared to be the side of a water wheel. Her feet were also strapped on each edge, and the blond vixen was gagged with cloth through the mouth.
DynaGirl immediately went to release her when she tripped the line. ElectraWoman helplessly watched a net fall from the ceiling onto her hapless partner. The pigtailed dolly was entangled, as she began to struggle furiously. Suddenly, two large men dressed in black outfits grabbed her. They had on camouflage pants, black shirts, and their faces were covered with complete black hoods.
The youth struggled and struggled as the men dragged her behind where ElectraWoman was strapped. The blond could hear the scuffles and moans, and then a muffled sound. Then she waited. And waited.
And then, off in the hallway were footsteps. Slowly getting louder. And louder. And finally, two figures entered.
Stunned as much as ElectraWoman and DynaGirl were, the first one stopped, "What?!" Slowly he took off a blue turbin to reveal himself.
"ElectraWoman and DynaGirl!" Ali Baba gloated. "What a strange coincidence this is. I never counted on you two being here." He walked past the blond, who could not turn around. "I am so glad you have met the members of the Arabian Guard. But ElectraWoman can't see our conversation with DynaGirl. Quickly, Gene, turn her around.
"Yes, Ali Baba." The former Jeanie was still as bulky as ever, as ElectraWoman watched him walk up to the front of the wheel. He bent over as the blond vixen felt the wheel rotate slowly. She rose over the top, and then upside down, as she could see DynaGirl, strapped onto a rack! Blood rushed into her head.
Her junior partner had been gagged and partially stretched out. Her arms were not quite straight. She looked in wide-eyed terror at her mentor. The two guards stayed beside her.
"What is most troubling is that you two are here. You must tell me what you know. Turn DynaGirl twice." Click-click-click....ElectraWoman saw her prot�g�'s arms stretch to almost straight. Ali removed DynaGirl's gag.
"Now, why are you here?" he asked softly.
"By accident," she replied in wide-eyed obediance. He turned to Gene.
"Gear one." The henchman began to turn a crank, as the large wheel rotated, with ElectraWoman strapped to the outside. The pig-tailed cutie watched her partner go round and round slowly. Ali looked at his watch.
"You know, DynaGirl, I really enjoyed the last time we met. You were so evil, I couldn't control you. " He began to stroke her thigh. "And you were so strong." His finger dragged up to her hip.
"Stop!" The wheel came to an abrupt hault, with ElectraWoman upside down. She slowly struggled against her bonds. Ali went over to a bucket, grabbed a cup, and tossed water on ElectraWoman's face. She startled as he removed her gag, as the soldiers regagged DynaGirl.
"Now, ElectraWoman, listen up. One turn!" The blond could make out through her haze DynaGirl being almost fully stretched. She saw the poor youth struggle and wiggle with the turn, as she felt her body stretched beyond her control.
"You can end this by telling us the truth. What do you know?"
"We know that Lucretia sold you a remake of her Empress of Evil," the blond muttered.
"What else?"
"We were in Tourenbourg for a vacation."
Ali sneered. "Gene, gear 2!" The tall henchman bent over as ElectraWoman gasped. She disappeared under the wheel as it gained momentum. But when Gene had found the old speed, he pulled an iron shifter. The ancient torture device turned twice as fast, as the diode dolly was spun around. Ali again looked at his watch.
"I think two minutes this time." He sat down nervously. DynaGirl watched in horror as the giant contraption spun a rotation a second, and was beginning to shake.
"I like this workout, oh Ali Baba," Gene said between breaths. Ali took out a cigarette.
"You know, DynaGirl, this all ends very quickly if you tell me everything." But the youth knew nothing. And she also knew not to tell Ali that.
He smelled the cigarette lengthwise, and took out a lighter. Slowly he lit it. Not once did he bother to look at the torture wheel, as ElectraWoman rotated around and around. He again stroked DynaGirl's legs, running his fingers along the seams of her tights. He followed the tights right where they met her bodysuit. Then up the side seam of the spandex, to the belt. He ended by brushing his ashes on her buckle. She cringed in horror.
"Stop!!" Ali screamed. Jean stepped on the wheel brake suddenly, and with a jolt, ElectraWoman reappeared. The blond gasped, as she shook her head and widened her eyes.
"Fill up the pool," Ali commanded the guard. They walked over to barrel filled with foul-looking water. They dragged it over to the wheel. The bottom section of the torture wheel was a solid basin. Neither DynaGirl or ElectraWoman understood the double purpose of this.
Water rushed in, filling up past the third spoke on either side from the bottom. DynaGirl could see ElectraWoman's red-orange flared boots, at the top of the wheel siding, as her body arched around and stretched out, down to her hair falling down into the water. The senior partner was dazed, and could barely wiggle as she stared at the pool, waiting for her. Ali exhaled more smoke. He motioned to Gene, who cranked a half turn.
ElectraWoman's head submerged under the water at the bottom of the wheel. She wiggled, struggling, as DynaGirl helplessly watched. She could see her knees strain to bend, as her belt bounced just up above the water.
"You know, DynaGirl, I just love filterless American cigarettes. Something about your country's tobacco." He fully inhaled, and blew smoke out his nose. "Did ElectraWoman ever tell you that you defeated her not once, not twice, but thrice when you were evil?" The junior partner looked at him in horror. "Evil is stronger than good. You proved that." She looked at the wheel to see the red-orange body still struggling. He pulled down her gag. "Now, why did you follow me here?"
"We don't know what's going on!" She cried.
"Your great ElectraWoman is drowning right now. Your answer will save her from a slow and painful death. " he gritted as he leaned towards her, blowing smoke into her face. "Now tell me what you know!"
"But we don't know anything. We stumbled on this by accident. I thought there were ghosts up here!" She was screaming as tears fell down her face, watching her friend struggle helplessly against the bonds.
"Arghhhhh!" Ali screamed. He motioned Gene. Slowly the wheel turned back, as the bust and head of ElectraWoman reappeared. Her blond locks were soaked as she furiously gasped and coughed through her gag. Ali grabbed a sword, and slapped DynaGirl's stomach with its face. As she screeched, he reinserted her gag. He then went to one of the guards, as DynaGirl watched him hand Ali a black hand-device. Two metal points told her what it was.
Ali motioned to Gene, who went over to the still gasping ElectraWoman. He grabbed her dripping hair, and roughly twisted it, draining water. He then removed her gag. Both villains smirked as they saw her bra lines through her wet spandex, the weight of her breasts sloping down towards her chin.
When Ali caught ElectraWoman's eyes, he turned on the Taser gun. "Your partner was not quick to tell us anything. But I suspect you will. 1 turn!" A guard went over and cranked the rack...click-click-click. Immediately DynaGirl squealed into her gag. Her partner tried to make her out, upside down. There she was, fully stretched out.....straight from boots to gloves...wide eyed looking back at her senior partner in absolute terror!
Ali continued. "One more turn of that crank will cause something to snap. But if I use this Taser on her...." he walked over a zapped it above her stomach. "She will involuntarily jerk.....ripping muscle, tendons, blood vessels.....a delightful torture. Slow for you to watch. What do you know?"
ElectraWoman had to think quick. "Ali, if we knew you were here we would not have stumbled upon you."
"Wrong answer!" he went for her side.
"Stop Ali! I'm friends with the King in real life. This was suppose to be a vacation." The blond gasped in desperation.
He turned around. "It'll take more than that, ElectraWoman."
She paused, closing her eyes. "I met the King in school, when he was a prince. We are lifetime friends. We were also here to cover the change of government."
His eyes gleamed. "Which means you are...."
ElectraWoman grunted. "My name is Lori Evans. I work for NewsMakers magazine. I went to Broton Prep School with Alex in America."
"So who is your faithful partner?"
"Judy Loomis."
