Back in Jump City, all of the Titans had been bedridden. Samus’ blaster had blasted off poor Raven’s clothes. Cyborg was in pieces. Beast Boy had a few broken bones. Robin worked desperately to try to get Cyborg back together. “Come on. Come on.” He said.

“…Robin.” Came a voice weakly.

”Raven?” he said turning to the stirring girl. “You ok?”

“I’m fine.” She said, starting to sit up, but the Boy Wonder grabbed her bare shoulders and pulled her back down.

“You need rest.” He said.

Raven then began to notice something different. “Robin? Did you see me naked?”

Robin blushed. “I wasn’t looking.”

Raven just sighed. “Anyway. That’s not important. Where’s Starfire?”

“I don’t know.” Robin said, sadly. “I think the bounty hunter took her.”

Raven just sighed.

On the Great Sea, a boat continues to travel.

“Where is she?” asked Gonzo, the second in command pirate. “How could she just disappear?”

“Now hold on.” Said Link, the young boy had grown into a strong young warrior. Having defeated Ganon, he continued to help Zelda and her team of pirates search for a new Hyrule. “I’m sure. She’s fine. You know Zel- er I mean Tetra.”

Gonzo sighed, “That’s true.”

Link however didn’t really feel as calm as he expressed. What if, he’s back… he thought.

Meanwhile, in another Earth.

Sonic the Hedgehog run through the streets, this was the way he liked it. He hated standing still. He loved freedom. He was everyone you’d want in a hero.

“Sonic! Wait up!” came Amy Rose’s voice. She was running behind her hero. She loved Sonic and was willing to do anything to be with him. Suddenly,

“Sonic! Wai-MMMPPPPHHH.” She cried out as a hand went over her mouth and dragged her into a portal.

Meanwhile, back in Gotham City.

Batman explored the rooftops, looking for any sign of Batgirl. He jumped across the rooftops. “Robin’s with the Titans and Nightwing is in Bludhaven. Batgirl’s all I got right now.” He looked around the rooftops. Finally finding something on the ground. “An orb?”

Back in 23XX…

“X, you must be crazy.” Said Zero.

“Am I?” X said.

“Yeah. Your body was destroyed by Elipzo and I had to destroy my own body just recently.”

“Maybe, but I know something that can help that.” X said. “I’ve given coordinates to the Trans Operators. Tell them to trans you to that location. I’ll meet you there.”

“X.” Zero said, as he silently watched X go.

“The Mushroom Kingdom.” Said Samus as she teleported into. “Nice looking palace. Though I’m here to do a job.” Samus ran around the palace looking for an entrance point. “I don’t think I want to face Mario and Luigi yet.”

She ran around the castle, looking for an entrance. “A balcony.” She said. Using her grappling hook, she jumped to the top of it. There she saw a young girl in a formal pink dress inside the room. “This must be Princess Peach.” She smiled as she prepared to kidnap her as well.

“MMMMPPPPPPPHHHHHH!” screamed both Amy and Peach. They were back at the hideout. Samus smiled at her collection and walked to the monitor.

“Derek. I have them all.” She said.

“Excellent.” His voice came sounding rather pleased. “Get ready to bring them over to my castle. And make sure they’re properly restrained.”

Back in 23XX…

Zero teleported in. “X?” he called out. Looking for any sign of his old friend.

“Here.” X’s voice came. Zero noticed a little ball of light in the distance.

”Alright. Where is this… place you think we can get out old bodies back?’

“Follow me.” X said. Zero complied…

Samus had now removed the tape from the girls’ mouths and had untied them from the wall, except now they were tied with their wrists bound behind their back. Waist tied, thighs tied and ankles tied. They were sitting down on a bench. As Samus (now without her blaster in her hand.) got the gags ready.

“What do you intend to do with us?” asked Batgirl.

“Yeah. I mean we were already kidnapped once. Why do you need us again?” Serenity added in.

“How should I know?” said Samus. “I was only called in to do the kidnapping. Though for some strange reason, I don’t really remember being called in.” Samus just shrugged.

“You mean to tell me he’s back?” shuddered Zelda 1.

“No. Not him. Not the boss.” Said Zelda 3.

Samus said nothing.

“Well is he?” asked Zelda 4.

“Yeah come on. Answer us.” Added Zelda 2.

Samus still said nothing.

“Who is this Boss?” asked Ciel.

“Yes, please tell us who is this Boss is? Who is he the boss of?” asked Starfire.

“Sounds like a guy who should be running a corporation to me.” Said Amy.

“Hmm, is he dangerous?” asked Peach.

Samus groaned. “I’ve had enough of your noise.”

She walked behind Serenity and took out a blue handkerchief.

“Hey wait a min-MMMMMPPPPPHHHHH!” exclaimed Serenity as the gag was tied over her mouth. Samus next walked over to Batgirl and pulled out a yellow handkerchief.

“No matter what Batman will-MMMMPPPPHHHHHHH!” she called out as Samus tied the gag over her mouth.

Samus then went over to Tea and pulled out a red handkerchief this time.

“Hold it right th-MMMMPPPPHHHHHHH!” she called out as the gag was tied over her mouth.

Samus then walked over to the Zeldas’. “I think I’ll gag the little one first.” She said pulling out a green handkerchief.

“Link will rescue us. Just like last-MMMMMMPPPPPHHH!” Zelda 2 cried as Samus tied the gag over her mouth.

She then went over to Zelda 3 and pulled out a black handkerchief.

“Don’t you dare-MMMMPPPPPHHHHHH!” Zelda 3 cried out as Samus tied the gag over her mouth.

Samus then walked over to Zelda 1 and pulled out a purple handkerchief.

“You won’t get away with-MMMMMPPPPPHHHHH!” Zelda 1 cried out as Samus tied the gag over her mouth.

She then walked over to Zelda 4 and pulled out a pink handkerchief.

“He will stop you-MMMMPPPPPPHHHH!” Zelda 4 cried as Samus tied the gag over her mouth.

Samus clapped her hands and turned to the remaining girls. “Now what to give you 4?”

“Um…” was all Starfire, Ciel, Amy and Peach could say.

Samus walked over to Starfire and pulled out an orange handkerchief. “You will be surprised at the risks Robin will-MMMMMPPPPPPHHHH!” she said as Samus tied the gag over her mouth.

She then walked over to Ciel and pulled out a gray handkerchief.

“Zero will come he will-MMMMMPPPPPHHHHH!” She said as Samus tied the gag over her mouth.

“He couldn’t beat me last time. What makes you think he could do it this time?” she said, walking over to Amy and pulling a white handkerchief.

“Sonic will come-MMMMPPPPPHHHHH!” She said as Samus tied the gag over her mouth.

“Plain old’ white for you. Samus said. Walking over to Peach, she pulled out a silver handkerchief. “One that would fight a princess.” (The Zelda family got annoyed looks at this.)

“Mario and Luigi will rescue me-MMMMPPPPPHHHH!” Peach said as Samus tied the gag over her mouth.

Samus clapped her hands together. “There. No more noise.”

”MMMMPPPPPHHHHH!” The girls called out, annoyed.

“OK now.” She said. “Into the ship you go.”

Samus piloted the ship while the girls sat down on the floor bound, gagged and angry. Starfire’s power was being stopped by a shot Samus had given her when she captured her.

What seemed like hours to the captives. Samus arrived at the same castle that the original 7 had been held in. Derek watched as the ship landed safely.

”Sir?” said Dana. “Shall we go?”

“Yes, we shall.” He said, smiling. Derek walked out of his room with Dana following right behind him.

Derek approached the hanger as his men greeted the bounty hunter. Samus knelt before Derek.

“Rise.” He said. Samus did so. “Where are the girls?”

Samus moved aside to show the girls had now been bound and gagged. Standing they had all been tied together in rows, the first row consisted of: Batgirl, Serenity, Tea, Zelda 1, Ciel while the second row consisted of: Starfire, Zelda 3, Zelda 4, Peach and at the bottom: Zelda 2 and Amy. “MMMPPPPPHHHHH!” they cried out.

“Blindfold them and take them to their rooms.” Said Derek. Dana and Jack nodded as the walked over to the bound and gagged girls. “Get ready to teleport the heroes here. You left those orbs and clues like I told you to?”

“Yes.” Said Samus.

“Good.”

The girls had then been blindfolded with the same color that their gag was. “MMMPPPPHHHH!” they let out groaning.

“OK please them onto that cart there.” Said Jack.

Several men lifted the girls onto the cart and motioned for the transport to carry them off.

”MMMPPPPHHHHH!” they screamed.

“Now I can avenge my father.” Said Derek, laughing.
