Hello!
Welcome to Chapter 3 of Let Me Go!
This chapter we are going to be torturing – according to RapidstarJ – Zane!
By the way thank you for the suggestions from everyone!
Now, without further ado, Chapter 3: Zane!
Chapter 3: Zane
Zane has gone into Ninjago City for an evening to get away from training and relax. He spots Dareth's dojo and heads in its direction.
From the rooftops, a black blur that would, by most, be assumed to be a shadow, follows Zane's path. The only way to discern it between shadow and life is the occasional gleam of silver from something hanging off the side of its belt. The mysterious 'it' is Flame, her duct tape and sack at the ready. She and Adurna have already tortured Kai and Jay, so they only find it fair to continue with the list.
Zane has heard both Kai and Jays' stories about the Dark Sisters, and there was much protest at his solo walk, but he convinced the others he would be fine.
As he approached the door of the dojo, a dagger whizzed past his right shoulder, tearing the white cloth of his gi.
He gasped and his eyes widened as he scanned the area, falcon vision activated.
Up above from a window, a face looked annoyed with itself and threw a second dagger. This one hit Zane and threw him back against a wall, pinning him there. Another dagger, the third, hit his other arm.
A black garbed figure emerged with her duct tape, shutting Zane's mouth and throwing him in the sack.
The figure who had thrown the daggers was none other than Adurna. She leaped out over the windowsill and up to the roof where she then located Zane's falcon and pounced. In seconds it was disabled and lying smashed on the ground, its systems past the point of no return.
Zane shut down in the bag and collapsed, giving in to the strength of the two dark kunoichi.
Flame scanned the street, and when she located Adurna on the roof, made her way up to her sister.
Adurna nodded when she arrived and the two held the bag in between them.
Inside the already bloody sack, Zane lay in a deep state of unconsciousness.
"The third." Flame whispered, eyes glossy.
They dumped the ice master onto the hard cement rooftop, right next to his disabled falcon.
Because he doesn't have blood, they had no way to keep him from screaming, but Zane was such a polite person that he never raised his voice. They didn't have to bother replacing his gi, because it was already done for them; Zane had changed before going for his walk as protection from fans.
They tied him up and Adurna slapped him, waking him up, just as Flame picked him up and threw him directly at the back of a billboard.
His eyes shot open, "OOF!" Zane's breath escaped his lungs, leaving him gasping for air.
"Adurna? Flame? What are our sisters doing here?" He asked in confusion.
"What do you think?" Adurna asked rhetorically, smirking under her black and blue mask.
As Flame unsheathed her first katana, from behind the billboard came an ambush in the colors of red, black, and blue.
The ninja had discovered their plans.
For the first time ever, Flame hadn't expected an attack.
The ninja engaged in an intense battle with the Dark Sisters guarding Zane and the other three trying to get him back, two of them trying to get revenge…
Flame's katanas were now fully unsheathed, and she pounded the handle of her right sword into Zane's forehead, knocking him unconscious again.
Kai growled, his eyes wide, "HOW DARE YOU HURT OUR BROTHER!" he shouted, his rage gathering.
Flame didn't even bother smirking as she pounced on Cole, leaving Adurna to guard Zane.
Katana hit scythe and Cole got pushed backwards.
Flame's other katana sliced his leg and out of the corner of her eye, she saw Jay lunge at Adurna.
Their plan was to distract the two sisters with battle while Kai got Zane back.
Flame would have none of it. She sliced extremely deep into the cut she had already made on Cole's left leg, causing him to fall to the ground in agony.
Kai lunged at Zane while the girls were distracted, aiming for the ropes binding him. He sliced the gag, just barely missing Zane's cheek, the cold blade shocking him back to consciousness.
"Kai!" Zane gasped with wide eyes. Kai paused, a mistake that let Flame come in and grab him by the wrist. She hit a pressure point, causing him to open his fist and release the sword he held.
Zane cried out again, Kai groaned in pain as Flame pulled him into a headlock, Cole writhed on the ground, and Jay let out a battle cry as he began swinging his nunchucks, gaining momentum to hit a snarling Adurna.
Time seemed to freeze. The ninja and Dark Sisters locked in battle, no end to their feud.
Kai and Flame. Fire against fire, an endless cycle with no way for either to win. Adurna and Jay. Water to lightning, usually a clear winner of lightning, but the darkness in Adurna cancelling it out. Cole and Zane disabled in their own ways.
With no winner and no loser, the ninja and kunoichi are locked in an endless battle to no end.
And here is where our story ends. This story of torture and sadness, hurt and scars, ending in a battle we will never see the end of.
Thank you, dear reader, for enduring the pain suffering.
To this day these stories hold true and the endless battle truly is endless.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Your storyteller, Flame.
Thank you for reading Let Me Go! This story is now officially finished.
I know it's a cliff hanger that will never have a rescue team, but that's just how it's going to be.
Especially sorry to RapidstarJ for not fully torturing Zane, and to anyone who wanted to see Cole. I just don't have enough time to continue 3 stories at a time.
The ending is cheesy, I know, but suck it up, buttercup. (Sorry, had to add that.)
Once again, thanks for reading, reviewing, following, and favoring this story!
Believe in yourself, believe in unicorns, and keep writing!
Hugs,
Flame and Kindling
