Lana: fumbles for a flashlight "Can't see a thing. Damn blackout's a nuisance."
CrystalLagoon
City-wide blackout. The entire downtown area has lost power. The basketball court is in complete darkness. A girl lies on the ground, unconscious.
Lana: rushes over to the unconscious girl "Hey! Wake up! Are you okay? What the hell happened?"
CrystalLagoon
The girl suddenly starts moving and begins to wake up. She opens her eyes to see Lana standing over her. "Huh... what happened?"
Lana: rolls her eyes "Seriously? You passed out in the middle of a blackout? What are you, a weakling? Get your shit together!"
CrystalLagoon
She stands up. "Okay, okay. Jeez... I just get dizzy sometimes. The blackout messed with my rhythm."
Lana: crosses her arms "Your 'rhythm'? Seriously? You think this is a dance class or something? We've got bigger problems than your personal issues right now."
CrystalLagoon
She laughs and shakes her head. "Alright, alright. So, what's the plan then, superhero?"
Lana: takes out her phone and starts scrolling through the internet "Alright, first things first. I'm gonna find your brother. He's probably holed up somewhere safe."
CrystalLagoon
She snorts. "Yeah, he's a scaredy cat. Probably hiding under his bed."
Lana: snaps her fingers "We don't have time for your brother's insecurities right now. I'm gonna call his friends, see if they know where he is."
CrystalLagoon
She leans against a wall. "He's not gonna be happy when he finds out I was kidnapped," she says thoughtfully.
Lana: scrolls through her contacts "Happy? Who cares about his happiness right now? I need to find him, make sure he's safe.
CrystalLagoon
She smirks. "And here I thought you didn't care about people's feelings."
Lana: narrows her eyes "Look, I don't care about his feelings, but I do care about keeping him safe.
CrystalLagoon
She chuckles. "Touché. Guess I'll owe you one then."
Lana: dials a number on her phone "Enough with the chit-chat. I'm calling his best friend right now."
CrystalLagoon
She watches Lana intently as she makes the call. "Bet he's gonna freak out when he hears about this."
Lana: puts her phone on speaker mode "Hey, it's Lana. Listen, I need you to check on my brother.
CrystalLagoon
She rolls her eyes and mutters to herself. "Wow, I'm gonna have some explaining to do..."
As Lana calls her brother's best friend, they hear a noise behind them and turn to see a group of thugs lurking in the dark alleyway. They're armed and look like they mean business. It's a dangerous situation, but Lana and CrystalLagoon have to push through and try to survive.
CrystalLagoon
She eyes the thugs warily. "Uh oh, looks like trouble. Hope these guys can handle themselves."
Lana: steps forward, hands on her hips "Well, well, well. Look who we have here. You boys like causing trouble in my neighborhood?"
CrystalLagoon
She smirks. "Looks like trouble... and they're coming our way."
Lana: cracks her knuckles "Trouble? Bring it on! We ain't afraid of no thugs."
CrystalLagoon
She grins. "That's the spirit! Let's show these losers what real trouble looks like."
Lana: throws a quick left hook at one of the thugs "That's right! Come on, bring it on!"
CrystalLagoon
She leaps forward, delivering a powerful kick to another thug. "That's what I thought!"
Lana: throws a spinning back kick that sends another thug crashing to the ground "That's right! We're not messing around here!"
CrystalLagoon
She punches another thug square in the jaw, knocking him out cold. "They're ours now!"
Lana: catches her breath and grins "Ha! That should teach 'em not to mess with us again. Now let's get outta here before more show up."
CrystalLagoon
She groans and wipes the sweat off her brow. "Damn, that was fun... but tiring."
Lana: puts her arm around CrystalLagoon's shoulders "Yeah, but we did it! We kicked those thugs' asses! Now let's get out of here and find your brother."
CrystalLagoon
She nods, leaning into Lana slightly. "Yeah... can't wait to see his face when he hears about this."
Lana: pulls out her phone and dials a number "I already called your brother. Let's hope he picks up this time."
CrystalLagoon
She chuckles. "And here I thought you hated him."
Lana: rolls her eyes "Hate him? Nah, I don't hate him. But he's definitely been a pain in my ass since we were kids.
CrystalLagoon
She smiles. "Family drama, am I right?"
Lana: snaps her fingers "Family drama, indeed. But enough about that. We need to focus on finding your brother and making sure he's safe.
CrystalLagoon
She nods. "You're right... family comes first after all."
Lana: starts walking briskly down the street "Alright, let's split up and cover more ground. You take the left side, I'll take the right."
CrystalLagoon
She nods and starts moving down the left side of the street. "Alright, see you soon."
Lana: scans the area, searching for any signs of her brother "Keep your eyes peeled, CrystalLagoon. We can't afford to miss anything."
