Kai smirked widely as he stepped firmly into the circle of vanilla scented candles, standing dead centre as he flashed Nya a cheeky grin. He then began to point down at each candle as a small spark of fire flew off his finger tip and ignited the wick instantly. Once the full circle was lit up in the hazy light, the Fire ninja announced the he was finished.
Nya rolled her eyes, a small smile playing on her lips. "Really?" She snorted at her brother's dramatic gasp. "Kai, I can put that out in a second."
"Fine." Kai grumbled, clearly annoyed. "I'll try something else! Something harder!" He pranced over the candles as his foot skimmed the flame, too close for Nya's comfort. But, none the less, the water ninja watched patiently as her sibling disappeared into the lower deck, giving her some time to practice by herself. She calmly sat down on the wooden planks of the Upper deck, crossing her legs as her eyes fluttered shut. A soft sigh escaped her rosie lips as she was consumed by the thoughts of her deep, logical mind.
Kai thinks I'm still in need for basic training… but I know I'm more capable than that. I took out the Cursed Relm! I found my true potential in record speed and defied the stupid girly stereotypes!
I'm not just a girl… I'm a ninja. A ninja who can control water with my mind, my emotions, my heart! And no one can stop me from doing so. I am one with the current… I am one with the ocean… I am one with the sea… I am one with th—
"Dinners ready!-"
Nya slapped her hands over he mouth in horror, her hand not daring to lower from its outstretched position. The sphere of the clear liquid spun around rapidly in her palm and dripped occasionally onto the surface beneath it, not a care in the world. She was speechless, unsure whether to run for help or scream at her stupidity.
Cole stared down at his leg, mouth agape as he struggled for words. The limb was letting off splats of bright emerald goo onto the floor as steam and the smell of rotting flesh erupted from the wound. The ghost swallowed thickly as he slowly turned to look at the fellow ninja. "Please do something…" He whimpered, his voice beginning to tremble. Nya stared at him, backing up slightly as the goo slowly formed a tiny puddle at the boy's feet. Deciding to chose both her ideas, Nya began screaming and shouting for help. The noise forced Cole to cover his ears, his head pounding recklessly.
"Nya, what's–" Jay nearly tripped over as he and Kai let out a pair of horrified gasps. "No…" The Lightning ninja bolted over to his injured teammate, eyes wide as Cole let out a strained and painful groan. He reached into the gooey mess of Cole's shin, quickly retracting his hand at the immense heat. "D-Don't worry, Cole!" Jay winced as he tried to cool off his scorching fingers.
"Nya, stay back!" Kai suddenly appeared to the ghost's other side, digging his hand into the green slop. The water ninja happily obliged, not wanting to harm her brother anymore than she already had. "Jesus Christ…" He hissed angrily, unsure what he was actually attempting to do. "What the hell is going on…" He growled lowly, Cole's sharp, short cries pissing him off even more. "Zane! We need Zane to cool this shit down!" His Amber eyes blazed hopefully at Jay as the blue ninja nodded firmly.
"I'm gonna die-"
"Shut up!" Jay yelled, glaring harshly as the ghost whimpered helplessly. "No one is dying! Especially you, Cole!" He was literally screaming in his brother's face as he stared back with scared eyes. Kai cursed under his breath, muttering to himself.
"Where the hell is Zane…?!" He growled, watching as the Nindroid quickly approached the three.
"Oh my. Cole, you seem to be in quite a pickle." He mused, performing a quick scan on his transparent brother. "According to my processor if we do not work quickly then you shall suffer a painful and excruciating re-death."
"Stop talking and sort him out!" Jay and Kai both shouted at the robot, trying to avoid the goo landing near their feet. "It's getting bigger!"
Zane paused for a moment, before instructing the other two to hold Cole up and act as crutches. Once they were holding him as comfortably as possible, the Ice ninja scanned the temperature of the goo. "Hm." He hummed, quite shocked by how hot it was. Suddenly a quick blast of snow and ice shot out from Zane's palms, sucking themselves into the ghostly mush on Cole's leg. The black ninja bit his lip aggressively as he pushed his face into the crook of Kai's neck, the pain overwhelming all his sense. Abruptly, the numbingly cold feeling disappeared as the ice dissolved calmly into the much cooler goo.
"Cole…" Kai whispered quietly into the Earth Ninja's ear, smiling slightly. "Does it feel better?…" Without looking up Cole nodded quickly, regaining his breath. "Everything's alright… you're okay now–"
"M-My leg." He whipped his head down to stare at his left leg, but frowned in pure horror. "Dear God… please… no."
Jay winced at his friend's reaction, hoping he would've taken it better. "It's gonna come back." He assured, catching Cole's attention. The ghost stared up at him with glassy eyes, sniffing.
"It will?" He asked timidly, still in shock.
"Certainly." Zane inquired positively, despite his blunt expression. "It will take a lot of time, but you will find yourself with a new limb in a few months."
"How's that even possible?" Kai questioned, adjusting Cole's position gently.
"He is a ghost. Ghosts can pretty much do anything humanly impossible." Zane explained, enjoying the look of hope that lit up in his younger brother's eyes. "Even cheat a second death."
