Dead Or Alive Fanfiction X The King of Fighters

The interogation

"Me too," said Honoka and a grumbling sound came from her tummy. "You guys heard that?"
"Yes we did," said Kasumi. "I'm very hungry too."
They went into the hotel restaurant. The food there was okay but not very great. It was edible, clean and most importantly, appetising. It was free too because it came with the hotel. They ate and Honoka grabbed two plates of rice while the others only ate one plate. She had a big appetite and had a tendency to overeat.
"You better not eat more," said Ayane. "Or you'll be feeling nauseous..."
"Nope not me," said Honoka. "Now for dessert..."
She had two servings of cream puffs as dessert.
"You're Lucky this is a free buffet or you'll have to pay extra," said Kasumi. "I guess you'd have to pay twice as much as we'd have to if this wasn't a buffet."
"I eat a lot," said Honoka. "Especially when I see a buffet table..."
They ate as much as they can and set off back to their hotel room. Kula was very happy since there were many flavours of ice cream in the buffet and she tried all of the flavours available. She ate some desserts too and the others wondered how she can survive with only sweets. It was evening and was almost night. They decided to watch tv since there were bored. The channels were boring though, it was mostly the channels that they rarely watch.
All of them had gathered in the middle room when suddenly they heard a loud knock on their door, followed by a familiar voice.
"Hey Ninja-man," said the familiar voice. "Open up! We got our guy 'ere."
"That's Bass!" said Kasumi. "Quick open the door. He must have brought Rig with him."
Mist, who was the closest, opened the door and the Armstrongs were startled. She wasn't wearing any makeup and she had pink transparent skin.
"Who and what are ya?!" asked Tina, astonished. "Are we even in the right hotel?!"
"Yes you are," said Mist. "Sorry I startled you, I'm not wearing any makeup..."
She opened the door wide and allowed them to enter. They were holding an unconscious Rig. They brought him in and propped him up on the hotel chair.
"Ya got rope?" asked Tina. "This guy 'ere almost ran away from us! We had to knock him out to bring him 'ere. We need some really strong rope."
"Wait I got something that might help," said Sakura and went to their adjoining room. She came back with a few scarves. "Here, I think we can use these for now. It's from our shozoku. They're long enough and quite strong."
"That'll do, I guess," said Hayate while taking it from her. "Do you have more?"
"I have one too," said Honoka, getting up. "It came with the shozoku that Sakura lent me."
She went and got that too. Soon, Rig was firmly tied up with all of their shozoku scarves.
"Do we turn the lights off?" asked Kula. "You know, to have the interrogation feels?"
"Actually it's a good idea," said Hayabusa and flicked the nearby switch. "Whoa are you sure this is not too dark?"
"Let's light the bedside lamp," said Ayane. She turned the lights back on and took the bedside lamp and set it on the table in front of Rig and turned it on. She turned the room lights back off. "That's better. At least we can see now, and it looks more mysterious this way."
"Should we wear masks?" asked Daisy. "You know, so that we can hide our identity?"
"Yes we should," said Kasumi. "What about the Armstrongs?"
"I have an extra mask," said Hayate and took it out and gave it to Bass while Kasumi gave one of hers to Tina.
"This is kinda creepy," said Tina. "I feel like we're in some sorta cult or something..."
"It's like we're in a mystery movie," said Honoka. "Like those spy movies where they interrogate the suspects?"
"Honoka... Shh," shushed Ayane. "He's coming to now..."
Rig's eyes fluttered open. He was very surprised to see so many masked people around him.
"What Who are you?" asked Rig, frightened. He suddenly started sweating as if he is in a sauna although the air conditioner was at the coldest setting. "Why have you brought me here? I hadn't done anything wrong!"
"Relax, my friend," said Hayate in an eerily calm voice that sent chills down Rig's spine. "We are not gonna hurt you, just gonna ask you a few questions."
"What do you want from me?!" shouted Rig. "Who are you?"
"Hey if you keep this up, we'll have to gag you," said Hayabusa. "You don't want that, do you?"
"What do you want from me?" he asked again, this time more softly. He was pale and sweating so much. "I have never seen you before."
"Tell us," began Hayate. "Are you aware that you're being mind controlled by an organisation by the name of MIST?"
"What mist?" asked Rig, exasperated. "The only mist I know is mountain mist and lake mist!"
"Now don't lie to us," said Hayabusa. "You know perfectly well what mist is!"
"I swear my life, I don't!" said Rig. There were signs of truth in his eyes and the others saw this.
"I don't think he's lyin' to us, Ninja-man," said Bass. "I can see the truth in his eyes. This fella is telling the truth."
"Wait what?" said Rig, shocked after recognising Bass's voice. "Old man Bass?!"
"Guys, he is telling the truth," said Hayate. "My ninpo can sense it."
"Should we tell him about it?" asked Kasumi. "We should actually ask this guy nicely... he's scared stiff..."
"Yeah we should," said Hayabusa. "Honoka, turn the lights back on..."
She did and then Rig looked more relaxed after seeing the hotel room. It looked cozy and comfortable.
"Is this a hotel room?" asked Rig. "Bass, I know it's you, and this must be Tina."
"Yeah yeah, it's us," said Bass, while taking off the mask. "It's just... we feel bad for you, man. Ya being mind controlled and ya not even aware of it..."
"Wait, you believe them?" asked Rig. "Come on, Bass, you know me better than that!"
"Well I didn't believe 'em at first," said Bass. "Then once I saw it myself! Your eyes were glowing red, you acted as if you didn't know me!"
"What?" asked Rig. "I-I don't remember any of it. Once I was at a bar, then this white-haired British lady showed up. She kept telling me how much I've grown, as if she knew me since the day I was born and all. Then suddenly... I felt a sharp pain in my head and the next thing I remember was waking up back on my bed, at home, covered in sweat and bruises. I felt tired too as if I ran a marathon!"
"That woman must be Christie," said Hayate. "I noticed her doing something like that once."
"Who are you anyway?" asked Rig. "Who are all of you?"
"Oh yeah we forgot that we were wearing masks," said Kasumi. "Hayate, do you think it's a good idea to take them off?"
"I think we should," said Hayate. "There's no point in us wearing them now."
They took off their masks and Rig started recognising them.
