Jay POV

"Nya? Nya?!" I asked, holding my limp girlfriend in my arms. Her eyes flickered open and I breathed a sigh of relief. Kai would've killed me if she died. "We're all okay. The ship on the other hand . . ." I gestured at the mess around us.

"Are we far from your parents house?" Nya asked, using a table to steady herself. Bad idea; the table collapsed. I caught her and she laughed. "Thanks Jay."

"No problem. And we're not too far, though we veered a little off course in the nosedive," I explained, helping Nya stand properly. Together, we walked out to where the others were.

Kai POV

"Okay, Kai and Lloyd will stay here with Garmadon and Misako. The rest of us will go to Jay's parents' junkya- house, to find the parts we need to fix the ship and ask about Silver," Cole instructed. I rolled my eyes at his lame cover up. They started walking towards the junkyard in the distance. I watched until they were just specks on the horizon too.

"Well, well, well," I heard a voice behind me. "Nice lookin' ship we got here."

Turning around, I saw a man holding a gun pointed at my chest. "Who are you?" I asked, raising my hands in the air. My eyes flickered to the Bounty, where Garmadon, Misako and Lloyd were waiting. I hoped they weren't being threatened too. Who knew how many friends this guy brought with him.

"My name's Silas Crowe. And I want that flyin' ship," He demanded, pointing at the Bounty. I growled, showing him that he wouldn't get that ship without a fight. He seemed to sense that and his finger slowly pulled the trigger. BANG! I grabbed my left shoulder in pain. A dark red stain was expanding on my red gi. I bit my lip to keep from howling in pain. "Next time," Crowe hissed, "I won't miss."

He shoved me towards the ship, demanding I start it up. "That's just the problem," I replied loudly, hoping to get the Garmadons' attention. "The others went to get supplies to fix it. We crash landed." He shoved me to the ground, and, demanding I stay put, went to examine the rest of the ship. I lay on the deck, to hurt and tired to move. Funny how losing blood made you feel weak.

"Kai?" Lloyd asked quietly, staring at me. His eyes were fixed on my bleeding shoulder.

"Hehe, hey Lloyd. Just shot in the shoulder and-" I groaned "-losing blood pretty fast. Nothing to serious . . ." Lloyd rolled his eyes at my sad attempt. He helped me up and together we walked (I hobbled) to where Garmadon and Misako were.

Misako looked me over. Immediately, she started bandaging my shoulder. It hurt slightly less. "Thanks Misako," I murmured, wincing at the pain as she wrapped the bandage around again. "You think that man, Silas Crowe, will find us in here?"

"No doubt about it," Garmadon replied, cheerfully. "But we'll kick his butt." Lloyd cheered along with his father while Misako pretended she couldn't hear them as she finished bandaging my shoulder.

"He's got a gun," I pointed out, sensibly. Lloyd stared at me as if I'd never said anything sensible in my life. Which is so not true, by the way.

"Might want to listen to him," a female voice said from behind us. Turning, I saw a girl with long, jet black hair and deep purple eyes. A mask was over the lower half of her face and her outfit resembled that of an assassin. She held a dagger in each hand, threateningly. "Silas!" She called, craning her neck to look out the door. "I found them!"

Crowe was in the room in a flash. Lloyd and Garmadon were ready to fight. Crowe raised the gun threateningly, but instead of pointing it at them, he pointed it at Misako, who had just finished bandaging my wound. Garmadon gasped and took a step back. Lloyd waited a few seconds, but eventually backed down as well.

Crowe chuckled. "Good choice." The girl stood next to him as about five others filed in the room. They were all dressed in black, with weapons and angry faces. They looked at Crowe expectantly and I could tell that he was their leader. "Meet the Crows," Crowe announced, gesturing to the people surrounding us. "We're a gang of assassin types. We kill and steal whatever the victims had. And guess what? You are going to be our next victims."

Hi again! How is it so far? Sorry for the abrupt exit, but I gotta go, so later!
