Peyton smiled at her partners as she got off of the phone. "We have a job."

Haddon was ecstatic. "Well? Don't keep us in the dark!"

"It's Rachel. Our task is to kidnap and torture her," Peyton replied.

Peter frowned. "But we're assassins! We get paid to kill! Not kidnap!"

Peyton shot him a glare. "We get paid to do the things that our employers don't want to do. To pay the bills, you have to expand your horizons. Now, go get the car ready!"

Peter grumbled but nodded and left the room. Haddon laughed. "I love how he obeys our ever command."

"Yes," Peyton agreed. Her phone rang again. "Hello?"

Haddon watched her lips slowly curl upwards as she talked to whoever was on the other end. As she hung up, she turned to Haddon. "We have to make a quick pit stop."


Rachel screamed at the top of her lungs. Lloyd was immediately in her room and found her in Peter's arms. "Let her go!" Lloyd cried, elemental power at the ready.

Peter laughed and jumped out of the window with Rachel. Lloyd was tempted to follow, but he merely watched in horror as his girlfriend dragged towards a car. Lloyd ran onto the deck, where everyone else was. "Rachel was kidnapped! I'm going to go search for her!"

"We're coming with you," Cole insisted.

Lloyd nodded. "Wait, who'll watch the Bounty while Sensei, Nya and my parents are in Ninjago City?"

Zane volunteered. The rest of the ninja thanked him and headed out.


A few hours later, Zane boredly watched the alert screen, hoping something interesting would happen.

Suddenly, an alarm blared. Zane looked up and saw that a store was on fire. He spun into his ninja suit and steered the Bounty to the store that was in flames. A girl was standing outside and Zane was captivated. Her green hair was in a messy bun and her green eyes seemed distressed. She had a bag over her should that looked like it contained a laptop. She waved to him and pulled him over.

"Please help me!" She cried, her finger twirling a strand her green-dyed hair nervously.

Zane nodded and used his element power to put out the flames. The girl hugged him. "Thank you!" She cried.

"What happened? Who are you?" Zane asked.

"I'm Kyoto Shimizu. That," She pointed to the burnt remains of the building, "was my shop and also my house was on the second floor. I recently moved here from Japan, so I have nowhere else to go."

"You could stay with me, well, us," Zane suggested. "We have a spare bedroom."

Kyoto smiled. "Y-you would do that? You barely know me!"

"Of course! You said it yourself; you have nowhere else to go!" Zane replied, smiling.

Kyoto timidly took Zane's hand. He led her aboard the Destiny's Bounty and to her room. She looked at the completely empty room and smiled.

"There's not much in it," Zane commented, sheepishly.

"That's great! I love designing stuff!" She pulled out her cell phone and took a picture of the room. She then sent it to her email and pulled a laptop out of her bag. Lying on her stomach, she pulled up the picture on her laptop and began to edit and change it. Zane smiled and sat beside her.


Rachel forced her eyes open. She was hanging from the ceiling in chains. Her body was bruised and beaten. She didn't even want to know what happened, she just wanted Lloyd to save her. As she started to cry, she heard voices. Peter, Haddon and Peyton entered the room. Rachel's sadness quickly turned to rage as she saw them. "Why did you bring me here?!" She demanded.

Peyton laughed. "As if we would tell-!"

"Because our boss ordered that we kidnap you and torture you," Peter interrupted.

"Peter! Shut your trap!" Haddon growled.

"Who's your boss?" Rachel asked, struggling against the chains.

"Confidential!" Peyton snapped, before Peter had a chance to say anything.

"Lloyd will save me!" Rachel cried, confidently.

"Dream on," Peyton scoffed. "Haddon, I think she deserves punishment."

Haddon smiled and cracked his knuckles, loudly. He stepped towards Rachel and delivered a hard punch to the face. She felt blood seep from the corner of her mouth. She moaned a weak 'ouch' and Haddon laughed. "Oh, that's gonna leave a mark," He taunted.

Rachel began to cry, hoping that her boyfriend would save her soon.
