"Guys, did you see-"
"Jay, nobody's watching the news but you," Kai was the only one who looked up from what he was doing.
The lightning ninja ignored the fact that Kai had interrupted and continued. "I'm not that bored, I wasn't watching it either. Who put it on this channel anyway? Never mind, listen, he was found dead in his house and -get this!- an autopsy revealed his heart, lungs, kidneys, and a load of other internal organs were missing. Disturbing, right?"
"Sounds like someone's parts were sold on the black market. Gross."
"He looked fine otherwise though. He wasn't cut open, according to the report, so that's not the case."
"Who are we talking about anyway?" Cole asked.
"I didn't tell you that already? It's Ash from the Tournament, remember him?"
"Ash is dead?" Lloyd repeated.
Jay nodded slowly. "And when I looked into it, I found out wierd stuff's happening to other descendents of the Element Masters. Like that Griffin is in the hospital."
"Why? Is he okay?"
"His heart's beating as fast as he runs and it doesn't pump correctly or something. And I'm not objecting to your concern, Lloyd, but do the rest of you even care?"
"Wait a second, I haven't heard from Skylor in a while; did anything happen to her?!"
"Sheesh, Kai. Your girlfriend's fine."
"What about Karloff or Neuro-" Cole asked before Kai could object to Jay's comment.
"Oh, here's a good one! He called saying that people were hearing his thoughts."
"He called you for help?" Kai said doubtfully, raising an eyebrow.
"He called the ship and I happened to answer."
[A/n: I had another wierd idea and I acted on it. First chapter short, but next will be way longer. That is, if you like my crazy idea(s).]
