ok to the ppl who reviewed thank you and to the people who have reviewed since i first started (viking and rav) an extreamly large thanks christmas/chaunaka/kwanza cookies for yall.

"This will be the easiest entrance in because its well a ship. we slip in through the water intake vaules. You use these to climb up the pipes."

Joe pointed to the claw like extensions in a pair of gloves.

"Once you're in switch on the tracker signals that are on your belt. If you take the air ducts down to the lower levels. levels four through seven are the prisoner holding cells. You have to take this little thing, insert it and twist, it'll automatically unlock anything."

The group of guys nodded, in total there were about twenty to thirty five guys. They stood around a map in Joe's basement. They were members of bands that had lost members to the kidnapping.

"Alright, now remember you'll want to unlock all cells and free everyone."

The group of men nodded. Chester sulked in the background.

"Let's do this."

"So your name's Ji-Konin?"

"Yes. I guess you could say that I am the resident expert on all of the balance and yin and yang legends."

Rob ran his hand over his scruffy gotee. This new commer had dropped in through the hatch while the fighting had gone on.

"So can you tell us more about them?"

Lan asked. The man gave a smirk.

"As long as if you get out of here, you free me too."

"Deal."

Rob said as he shook his hand. Ji-Konin sat cross legged on the metal floor. He sighed, he had a long thin white beard and a small white top knot on his head. He wore what looked like a long blue parka with a white fur lining.

"Way back when the spirit world and the mortal world were one and the same, the spirits wanted to keep the mortals from the spirit world. So the spirits of the sun and moon, who are the fire and water spirits created a world bridges in sacred spots. The Cloud and rock spirits, wind and earth carved out the temples. But the mortals wernt happy, they sought to distroy the spirits. So in order to keep them selves alive, they became mortal. Air and earth was always a man and fire and water was always a woman living harmoniously. The powers of the spirits are always reincarnated into the next cycle once the two pass on to the spirit life. The first realization of the spirit powers is through a traumatic event. Once this happens, however, you will be able to call upon the elements at any time."

Ji-Konin smiled. Rob sat with Lan in his arms tightly.

"How is it that you know so much about this?"

Rob cocked his eyebrow. Ji-Konin waved his hand dismissively.

"My ancestors have trained the spirits. but I have very little time if we're gonna bust out of here. Alright, Tluk-Na, you're first."

"Who the **** is that?"

"Tulk-Na is an ancient tribe dialect for push and pull. It deals with using water and fire."

Thanks for the update! More-more-more!! *pumps fist in the air emphatically while munching on cookie* (thanks for that btw, scrum-diddly-umptious!)

Can't wait for more - Fic that is!

hope that you like this next part and I'm glad you like the cookies took me for ever to make them n_n

"Try to feel the push and pull of the water. This is simple enough."

Lan gritted her teeth to gether as Ji-Konin instructed her while Rob moved bits and pieces of metal back and forth. Lan gave a groan of frustration as the small stream of water fell to the ground again.

"I'm trying! this just isnt working."

She hissed. She was a little jealous that Rob seemed to master his excersze in almost no time.

"Then let's try with fire. Close your eyes."

Lan gave out a great breath and closed her eyes.

"Feel the fire within you. Bring it out as an extension of your body. Try with a punch."

With her eyes closed she stepped forward in a punch. A flame blasted out of her fist. Lan gave a look of trimuph as rob whooped.

"In essence that is what you have to do when you want to use fire. now try to work with the water a little more."

With renewed vigor, Lan pulled the water from the puddle on the floor and focused on it, trying to move it back and forth. Ji-Konin showed Rob some basic wind moves. Suddenly there was a loud siren blasting through the cell.

"what's going on?"

Benji yelled over the din.

"Sounds like some one's found some stowaways or something."

Ji-Konin replied as the door slid open to reveal brad and Phoenix.

"Hurry up! Run for the stairwell and Joe will direct you to the escape routes, we'll get the other two on the mattresses!"

Phoenix shouted as he threw Billy over his shoulder in a Fireman's carry. Brad and Benji grabbed Aaron. Rob and lan went first incase they ran into any more of those soldier guys, which they did. Rob took a deep breath and made a wide powerful fighting stance and Lan made a kick, sending searing heat at the nearest soldier. Rob let out the breath as a huge vortex was created sending the men flying into the walls. Joe ducked as the soldiers hit the wall just above his head.

"Let's go! Mike just took out the engine room! this ship is going sky high any minute!"

People began to slide down the pipe and out into the ocean water. Joe kept running a head count of the people. When he was satisfied that everyone was out, he slid down the pipe himself. Rob and Lan slid down the pipe, it was like some kind of wild water ride. They landed in a huge boat The minute Joe came down the boat powered up and sped away. Rob hugged his bandmates while Lan hugged Benji.

"Thanks for being like a brother to me Benji."

"No problem Lan."

Rav gave Lan a huge pat on the back.

"Girl I'm so glad you're alright! You almost took the mickey out of me."

"So you arent too ****** that me and Rob are we?"

Rav hugged her.

"Naw its all good, besides I think I got another crush."

She said nodding her head towards Mike, who promptly turned a deep shade of crimson. Lan turned around to see who had tapped her on the back. She jumped up into Rob's arms. They were caught up in a passionate kiss. Rav made a face as she Joined mike in the stern of the ship.

"I'm so proud of you lan."

Rob winced as he moved his broken wrist. Lan took it gently in her hand.

"You need to get a doctor to look at this."

"Only if you come with me. We spent weeks on that ship, I think it would be best if the both of us got checked out."

we looked behind us as the other band members were reunited. the ship that we had gotten off of was like half sunk. we continued to speed toward the coast.

"You know I have a feeling that this isnt going to be the last we see of them."

Lan nodded as she fell into Rob's warm embrace

WoW! *laughs* I'm like... wow...

It's a visual ride that's for sure.

Rav + Mike? Only on occasion. *laughs again* But thats aok by me. He's a hunk-of-alright, (apologies, but in order of preference, he and Chas tie in second to Rob with Brad, Phe and Joe coming in last on my hunk-o-metre) so I'm glad for that choice. Artistic license... *awww* And Rob and Lan finally ended up in each others' arms in the end... :D So sweet.

Wondering now though... will there be another update?

Will it be another evil faction hellbent on trying to possess these supernatural forces? Will the guys ever find out who it was responsible for this kidnapping shenanigan? Will Joe ever be able to afford another newspaper? *laughs* Had to throw that in...

Would like to see Rob and Lan trying to adjust to not just their newfound 'abilities' but each other and try to make something of a normal life now in his rock star and her ordinary/everyday world. There's so many places you could go with this... ****, I'm even intrigued to see where Mike and Rav end up - lots of mini Shinoda's running amok at uncle Rob's house? *laughs again*

*Awww* @ mental imagery. Why not mini Lan & baby Bourdonites as well??

********* (9 stars/10 - why nine? Cause Rob got his happy ending but it wasn't with me! *sob - awwww* Still an awsome fic though!)

I WANT MORE! Puh-lease? *big puppy dog eyes* :D

Ever your fan,

-Rav

ok rav I guess you can have some more. here it is but just think about meeting the parents with the LP guys shudder. and dont forget about the broken wrist too *laughs*

"I guess we can go back to a some what normal life"

Rob said as we stepped on the dock. Lan raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah semi-normal. But what are you going to do about chester?"

Lan asked innocently as they shared a small kiss. Rob gave his usuaul shy grin.

"Ignoring him and think about you is a nice way to really irritate him."

Lam smiled as he ran his fingers through her hair. Rob watched with an amused look on his face as Rav chatted unconcernedly with mike.

(lan's pov)

"Looks like the Rob-Ranter has a new crush now. I feel sorry for the church of shinoda."

I rode home with the guys, they said they would drop me off then pick me up later tonight for a celebration that everyone's back safe and sound. Joel and Josh were playing with some of my younger siblings while sara kept a watchfull eye out. Benji got out of the car first as we carried the still unconcious Billy. He just fainted thats all and was extreamly sick, Rob then helped me down onto the driveway.

"Dont forget about tonight."

He whispered in my ear as the family screamed that me and Benji were back. My dad ran out of the house with Robin. they both hugged me and Benji so we couldnt breathe.

"I missed you so much dad."

I said as I hugged him harder and Benji hugged his mom. His mom looked at the still healing cut on his face.

"Benjamin, how on earth did you get this?"

Benji shook his head.

"Those guys who kidnapped us were tougher then they looked. But its ok mom, Lan patched us up."

"Thank you lan for taking care of my little boy."

I watched Benji turn a bright shade of pink.

"Its alright Ms Madden. He acted like a brother to me when we were in there."

I nodded my thanks to benji. He smiled.

"What I dont understand is why they took you lan."

My dad said as we all sat down on the porch. ooh. I'm stuck. I didnt tell him about Rob yet.

"I can understand about them taking benji or Joel and you since you are almost step-siblings, but to take you with that drummer of that Linkin Park band makes no sense."

Robin said. I looked at benji, who just shrugged. I guess I had to climb out of this hole my self.

"I'm kindda dating the drummer guy, his name's Rob."

I said quietly. The reactions were a bit different from what I thought they would be. My dad went nucular and Robin was happy about it. I for sure thought it would be the other way around. I grimmaced at the look on my dad's face.

"Well I guess you can see him, as long as we get to meet him."

great, the last thing I need is for Rob to have to meet my parents.

*lmslao*

Wow - that cracked me up! The prospect of meetin' the parents... but wonder does that mean, conversely, if Lan's introducing her new b/f to her dad/family then will Rob be returning the favour in kind? Look out Bourdon's! *laughs again*

Nah, it's all good. Sweet. Pity the Church of Shinoda; pfft. My heart couldn't stand the torment. But in the context of the story, makes me chuckle. Quite clever, you are, little writer.

*hugs 4 Mel* (can I call you that? Hmm)

But anyways - see - this story can go on forever - when you let it write itself. I'm stoked you're still going with this. I'm insatiable, I know. :D

MORE MORE MORE! Thankyou! Luvin' it!

cookies for all who reviewed. heh heh. yeah slightly clever. just wait till u read this chappie

While I waited for Rob to come back by and pick me up, I played a little more with the water that hovered in my hands. I swirled it around, just watching it move so fluidly. It was becoming easier the more I worked with it. I hope that when Rob comes we can just get the **** out of here. I hope his wrist is alright. He called me a bit earlier to tell me that he had to have it put in a cast and he wouldnt be able to play drums for a while.

"Wow that's so awesome!"

one of my little brothers shouted. It made me jump as I promptly dropped the water back into the bucket.

"Do it again Lan please!"

four of my little sibblings pleaded all saying please at the same time. I smiled.

"Alright, Here we go."

I said as I brought the water back up and circeled it over my head. I did a few more moves with the water before I heard someone call my name. I dropped the water back into the bucket as I said bye to my little sibblings. I gave Rob a quick hug, being careful of his wrist.

"How's your wrist?"

I asked as I slid into the back seat with Rob and Joe, Chester and Phoenix were up front.

"Its good. They say its pretty much healed, I just have to be careful with it. Teh doctors said who ever did it up before them did a pretty good Job."

I smiled as Rob kissed my cheek. I laid my head onto his shoulder.

"Maybe we should have stuck them with Brad, Mike, and their girlfriends."

Chester muttered out of the corner of his mouth. I saw Rob roll his eyes. We parked and pulled up to the club a few minutes later. Mike, Rav, Brad and Taylor were waiting for us inside. A loud rock beat was playing from the sound system and the throngs of people all mashed up together in a space smaller then the womans room. It was loud, It smelled of alcohol and smoke, it gave me a natural high just like a rock concert does. Suddenly the beat slowed and rob grabbed my hand. We slow danced in a corner away from the speakers where it was alot quieter.

"This is a nice song."

I commented. I really loved the song, but I didnt konw who sung it or anything, I have it on a mix CD.

"Yeah the Staind guys are some pretty nice guys. I just hope that Aaron made it out alright."

I frowned.

"You mean the same guy from the ship?"

Rob nodded. I shrugged my shoulders as I laid my head on rob's chest.

"This song is how I feel about you."

Rob muttered into my ear. i closed my eyes and listened. one line made me smile as I knew that it was the line that Rob wanted for me. I just couldnt think about how disasterous it would be for him to meet my dad. As the song ended and Faint came over the speakers, Rob took me over to where there was a free booth.

"Do you think when I drop you off, I can talk to your dad about something?"

"What in **** could you want to talk to my dad for?"

Rob gave a mischevious smile. I have a feeling that it couldnt be good. So when Rob dropped me off, I introduced him to my dad and they talked about something. The older siblings, the teenagers were already upstairs around the game cube. I waited in the entry hall for my dad to finish up with Rob. When Rob came back in the entry way, He gave me a kiss that made my little siblings squeal with laughter.

"What was that for?"

Rob pointed upward. Mistletoe. I smiled as He waved by. Then the little kids started chanting their favorite song.

"Lan and Rob sittin in a tree k-i-s-s-i-n-g!"

I laughed as I went up to the room that I now shared with Benji and Joel. They wernt there so I guess I had the room to myself. I was still trying to figure out what Rob was talking to my dad about.

*laughs*

No! Write it now! Write it now! Aargh! *ripping out fistfuls of hair*

Man... I'm an impatient sod, aren't I? But it's prolly a good thing cause it's like 3:34am here - I have work tomorrow and I really should (but don't wanna) go to bed. *sigh* That should buy you some time if anything else, right? Or should that be; write? Hehehe. Pushy too.

Man, can't wait til I'm at 1500 posts. Heck, I'd be happy to reach 1000 posts. Maybe one day I'll see myself in green letters and go 'Woo-hoo!'

Awww. There's always a dream, innit?

Take care, *hugs* TTYL. Keep up brilliant work with story... I think I'm hearing wedding bells! Though that in itself paints a funny picture - considering he's Jewish and she's Irish... love to see what ceremony they create out of those backgrounds... hehehe. *ahhh*

Hope y'all day was better then mine. I got into a fight that was compleatly worthless even though I won. I hate having to go easy on someone in a fight. but if I didnt they'd be dead. years of training for nothing. yeah you can call me mel if you want rav. Ne ways heres the next part. 1 more thing, does any on know if noodle from the gorillaz is a boy or a girl? jw

Something was going around my house, it was like some kind of virus. they all seemed to know something I didnt. I couldnt even scare it out of Archer or Bowen. All i knew was it was something about a bet. oh well, I'm always the last one to know stuff. It was almost lunch, like eleven thirty on saturday, it was christmas eve, so as always around this time of the year, I was really happy. I got rob the greatest christmas present in the whole world. The door bell rang.

"Dont everyone jump up at once."

I muttered as no one got the door. I opened it up to see rob.

"What are you doing here?"

My little brothers and sisters were giggeling on the stairs.

"I wanted to ask you something. Is there a place where we can go and talk?"

I nodded as I took him by the hand to the tire swing that was a little ways out in the yard.

"So what do want to ask me?"

I asked him as I sat on the tire swing.

"Lan, we havent known each other that long, I mean we have but... anyways, I feel like that dosent matter when a guy is..is...aww screw this."

Rob got down on one knee and pulled out a little box. My heart came to a stop.

"Marry me?"

I didnt know what to say or what to think. It was like someone just paused my brain. Then I was scared. What would life be like to be married to a rockstar? Would Rav hate me? how many people out there would hate me because his band is well known? What if this chance never came again?

"Yes!"

I said as we hugged.

"Mind you this is your christmas present. I know its not traditional, but youre not really one for upholding traditions are you?"

Inside was a necklace with four green stones on it.

"Its beautiful rob."

He smiled as he wrapped his arms around me. Now it made me feel as if my present wasnt going to be good enough.

"Mike helped me pick it out."

I grabbed his hand and led him inside. I told my family the good news. Archer and bowen looked at dad.

"Pay up boys."

They shook their heads.

"Sorry dad, but we bet that hed propose to her before lunch, you said sundown."

Dad made a face as he put money into both of their hands. I frowned.

"Since when do you two gamble?"

"Betting against dad isnt a gamble, its an investment."

I rolled my eyes. I led rob upstairs where I gave him his present. It was a tribal heart made out of metal. he slipped it over his head as he helped me put my necklace on. there was alot of noise out side. Rob looked out the window and made a face.

"Looks like your dad invited a few people over?"

I turned pale as I looked at him.

"How many?"

"All of California."
