Yellow - Elevator fishing line

The Scout, Soldier, and Demoman dragged the kids into the elevator. "Close the door, chucklenuts!" the Scout yelled. Yellow was a mere foot from the doors to the elevator, and swung her fishing pole one last time before they closed. The hook bounced once on the gleaming marble tiles, and the doors closed on the line. The hook lay on the floor.

Of its own accord, a Pokeball lifted itself from Yellow's belt and released a fuzzy yellow rodent. She kept both hands on the fishing rod.

Gon and Danny were set down on the ground. The elevator began to move up. The mercenaries relaxed.

"I swear, Private." the Soldier sighed, "This job takes years off of your life. But it's worth it for the continued good of America."

"And these dope hats," the Scout agreed.

"Aye," said the Demoman.

The Scout had shoved Blood Blossom petals down Danny's shirt. He was in no state to remove them. He couldn't even bring himself to sit up. He turned his head just a little bit to the right to see Gon, and to his surprise, Gon looked back at him. His eyes went up to where the dart still stuck in his head, and then winked. Whatever tranquilizers they'd given him, it wasn't enough. Danny smiled.

The elevator lurched to a halt. Something was preventing them from moving up. It didn't take close inspection to reveal what that something was.

"There's no way! Ye've got to be kidding me!" the Demoman gasped. The line Yellow had cast in earlier was being pulled back, and it looked as if she had caught the fish, so to speak.

Back on the ground floor, Yellow pushed her feet back into the wall, putting all of her strength into reeling back the line. Behind her, the Heavy and the Sniper lay immobile, sprawled out on the tiles. The amount of electricity pumped into their bodies had temporarily paralyzed them. Yes, Hermes was hurt and needed help, but that would have to wait! She gritted her teeth so hard she was almost certain she was going to break her jaw, and pulled as hard as she could. Slowly, slowly, the line drew back.
