Kai watched Lloyd struggle, pain in his eyes. Lloyd's hands were chained together, with another chain attaching it to the roof. His feet dangled above the ground and he kicked and fought for freedom.

"Kai, help me!" Lloyd shouted. "Or you're no better than these other criminals."
Kai looked at Lloyd, sorrow in his eyes.

"Lloyd, I can't," Kai said. "I can't control myself. They're controlling me. Can't you see that."
Lloyd looked at Kai, his eyes filled with sorrow.

"They're making me watch you suffer, torturing me with your pain," Kai continued. "I want to help you, but I can't. I can't do anything to stop them. To stop myself."
Lloyd watched Kai curl up in a ball on the floor. The pain in his eyes made Lloyd realize Kai was telling the truth. Then a door swung open and a man walked over to Kai. The door shut, locking him in with them. Kai looked up at him, terrified.

"We no longer need you," he said to Kai.

He pushed a button on his watch and Kai's held his head in pain. Moaning, he lied on the ground, pain taking over.

"Kai!" Lloyd shouted.

Kai's eyes opened, looking up at Lloyd. Then the man chained Kai to the floor where he laid.

"Keep each other company while you can," he mocked, walking out.

"Kai" Lloyd whispered.

"Lloyd," Kai moaned. "My head. What happened? Where are we?"
He didn't remember anything. Lloyd was shocked.

"You don't remember anything," Lloyd asked.

"I was on patrol, then a group of people kidnapped me and made me do their dirty work," Kai whispered weakly. "Now I'm here."

"Will you be Ok?" Lloyd asked, worried.

"I think so," Kai said, trying to stand, but being pulled down by the chains. "I'm stuck."

"You're chained to the floor," Lloyd said.

"Are you Ok?" Kai asked Lloyd, seeing his position.

"Light-headed I guess, but yeah," Lloyd sighed. "I've had worse over the years."

Kai smiled slightly at Lloyd's humor.

"Can you get up?" Lloyd asked Kai.

"It's no use," Kai replied. "I told them all our weaknesses when they controlled me. I'm sorry."

"Kai, it's not your fault," Lloyd said.

Kai looked at Lloyd, pained.

"Hang in there, we'll get out of this," Lloyd smiled. "We always do."

"You're the one hanging out, literally," Kai laughed.

"Alright, I walked into that one," Lloyd replied, laughing.

They smiled at each other.

Cole punched a punching bag, sending it flying.

"Cole, calm yourself," Zane said. "We'll find them."

"But what if it's too late," Cole said. "What if…"
"What if there are no more what ifs," Zane echoed Sensei. "Belief in yourself my friend, we'll get them back. It's not your fault, we were all out of it without Kai."
Cole nodded.

"Hey boys, to the bridge," Nya's voice echoed over the speakers.

Cole and Zane ran, seeing Nya and Jay working quickly on the computer.

"What happened?" Cole asked.

"We had something," Jay said. "Someone was on the screen."
Then the screen went black. Before anyone could speak, a person appear on the screen.

"Hello ninja," he said.

"Who are you?" Cole asked.

"The captor," he replied. "The stealer, the controller, the one who has your friends."
"What!" Nya shouted.

"Yes water ninja," he smirked. "Now it's time for my next capture."

Then the screen went black.

"Can you believe that guy!" Cole shouted.

"No, he gave us something that we can use," Nya replied. "He said three things that he is."
"Captor, stealer and controller," Jay replied, confused. "What does that have to do with anything?"

"He was in an old building and that was giving us a hint," Nya explained. "CSC, the old Correctional Student Center, where young students went if they were trouble, like Lloyd before we found him."
"Why there?" Jay asked.

"When they moved, they got new equipment, leaving the old stuff there," Nya replied. "So they can use that on Kai and Lloyd."
"And the rest of us when they get us," Cole finished.

"We have to hurry, where is this place?" Jay asked.

Nya motioned Zane over and plugged him into the computer.

"Ok, location acquired. Cole, come on," Zane said.

"What about me?" Jay asked.

"I need you to stay here to help me because if they get caught, it'll be up to us," Nya hugged him.

"Alright, be careful guys," Jay smiled.

Zane and Cole ran off and took to the air towards the location.

Kai, now hanging like Lloyd, kicked and tried to move.

"Kai, stop it before you hurt yourself," Lloyd cried.

Kai stopped, panting. He looked at Lloyd, who looked at his chains.

"These are venge stone, it's no use," Lloyd sighed. "Our powers are blocked so we're stuck."
Kai looked at the ground.

"Don't start Kai," Lloyd said. "Just don't."

Kai sighed. "I know."
Then the door swung open and a man pushed a cart into the room. Lloyd and Kai looked horrified.

"Well, how are the ninja doing?" the man asked.

"What do you think?" Kai cried out.

"Tempered are we," he smirked. "We can change that."
The man grabbed Kai's leg, and spun him in circles.

"Whoa!" Kai cried in surprise.

Lloyd watched as Kai spun in circles and it actually looked like fun. Then when Kai started to slow, Lloyd saw his face, Kai looked like he was going to be sick. He moaned.

"Not again," Kai moaned.

"Kai, hold in there," Lloyd said.

Then something grabbed Lloyd's leg. He looked down and the man had a knife in his hand. Lloyd tried to kick him away, but felt something slide down his leg from his knee to his ankle. Lloyd bit his lip, kicking and trying to get away.

"No one hurts the green ninja!" Kai cried out.

"Oh, but I am," the man grinned at Kai. "And what are you doing, hanging around."

He laughed as he walked over to the cart.

"Your friends will be here soon," he said, grabbing two cloths. "You need to be silenced until we get them."
He placed the cloth, which had a sleeping drug on it, over Kai's mouth. Kai, struggled for a second, then started falling asleep.

"Kai, what are you doing to him!?" Lloyd cried.

"Knocking him out," the man said, tying the cloth around Kai's head. "Night Lloyd."
Then Lloyd tried to escape, but the cloth went to his mouth and he felt sleepy. Moments later, he was asleep.
