Titanium Promise

Chapter 3

Fault

Hem the fire starter watched through the window as the flames grew higher and higher. One side of the temple was already engulfed in flames when Lloyd opened his eyes. He jumped up and looked around. The room was full of smoke and ash. He coughed and looked around at the others.

"Ninja wake up!" He yelled which prompted the others to jump up to their leaders call.

"What the..." Kai tried to push the flames back, but for some reason this fire didn't listen to anything he was trying to do. As if fire listened anyways it did what it wanted but Kai could keep it at bay for a little while usually. Not this time however. This time it was angry.

"Zane...see if you can put the fire out." Lloyd asked. Zane was able to cool the door down enough for Kai to open it.

The hallway was engulfed in fire. Their was nothing else they could do except run. Jay kicked down Nyas bedroom door and looked in she was throwing water onto as much as she could, but the air didn't have a lot of moisture to it at all. She couldn't make a big enough wave. She was however thankful that someone knocked the door down.

"Lloyd!" it was Lloyds mother calling from the door which wasn't that far away. "Come on!" the others ran for the door.

Zane stopped in front of another door and pushed as much ice as he could muster from the air and knocked down the door. Within was a very scared little girl actually showing her age. She had tears running down her face. Her hands were pulled against her.

"Come Ty, lets get out of here." Zane said picking her up against his chest. He picked up her blanket and put it around her completely in an attempt to keep the smoke up.

"Zane come on!" Cole yelled. Zane took Coles outstretched hand and they both ran the rest of the way out.

All stood just outside their home, the fire department took a little while coming up the hill, but they finally arrived.

Eventually by midmorning the fire cheif walked over to Lloyd and they had a very short conversation. For a moment Lloyd looked amazed and then looked right at Ty.

Ty stood in the freshly fallen snow. Her heart stopped and she just really wanted to hide. It finally clicked what was going on, and what had happened. Her breath caught in her throat and she made a strangled noise. This caught both Kai and Zanes attention and they looked right at her.

"Hey kid...whats wrong?" Kai asked putting his hand on her head in an attempt to help her feel better. Assuming it had something to do with the fire. Well it did, just not what Kai thought.

"Ty?" Zane said after a moment of waiting for her to answer.

"I left the stove on...didn't I?" Ty whispered she could have sworn she turned it off. Didn't she?

Kai looked up at Zane who shrugged his shoulders unsure as to what she meant.

Lloyd walked back over to the Ninja and looked at them.

"It looks like the fire started in the kitchen." He said which caused Tys chest to feel like it was being squeezed hard. Her bottom lip quivered and she pulled her blanket tighter around herself i an effort to get it to stop.

"Ty do you remember if you turned off the stove?" Misako asked. Ty opened her mouth to speak, but nothing came out. She let out a labored breath and shook her head.

"She says she doesn't remember if she did or not. The fault is with me. I was watching her. I should have made sure she turned it off." Zane said trying to comfort his adopted daughter by trying to pick her up.

"No!" She pushed him away. Zane was a little confused. Isn't this what fathers do to their children? "What kind of daughter am I? I burned our house down!" Ty said pointing at the horribly burned building. Or what was left of it anyways.

"Ty it was an accident." Cole reached out to take her hand. She pulled back.

"I don't know why you want someone like me either. I ruin things. Planets, lives, homes...maybe it would be best if I didn't exist at all." Ty took off toward the woods. You would think a little girl would be easy to catch, but having the power of light also meant she ran fast. Lloyd couldn't figure out if it was the 'faster then light' concept, or maybe it was because she herself of light...or both. Whatever it was the little girl was just in her night gown and it was still cold outside from the winter air. He suddenly wished Spring was here already.

Koma watched from where she was. Her face went from a huge frown to a huge smile. She watched as Ty ran off for the woods and then the ninja tried to catch up to her.

"Oh dear sweet little Ty. She's so hurt, and lonely. We as adults should insure that she doesn't stay in this cold for to long. Shall we children?" Koma smiled and looked down and into the trees.

A rush of wind went by Jay and he heard giddy laughter. He looked around just in time to see a bright white woman run by him.

"Come on I thought Lightning was supposed to be fast." She said and ran ahead of him. "Pity. You had better hurry Ninja...or that little Ty...is history." Her laugh to Jay was incredibly annoying.

Kai gasped as a few fireballs landed in front of him completely catching the foliage around him.

"Come on red...lets see what you've got." Hem yelled jumping back into the trees.

A very large man walked out in front of Nya. He wasn't clean, as a matter of fact he was covered in mud. Nya looked a little closer and gasped when she realized she was looking at a man that was probably made completely out of mud.

"Names Ox." He said throwing a huge ball of mud at her. It caught her by surprise. She rolled a few times and got back onto her feet and threw a ball of water at him. A loud laugh echoed from him.

"You ain't gonna hurt me with water girly..." Ox laughed

"How about this!" A ball of green energy struck Ox and he slammed into a tree falling limp.

Zane and Cole were practically on Tys tail. Finally after a hard run into which Cole almost gave in. They caught up to Ty. Ty on the other hand wasn't one for being caught. Cole grabbed her shoulder to get her to stop running. She bit down on his hand. Cole cried out wiggling his hand.

"Hey kid if your hungry we can go to Chens noodle house. How about that huh? You're always hungry." Cole said feeling a little hurt by her gesture.

"How could you want me Cole? I ruined your home? What daughter ruins homes?" Ty said throwing her arms in the air.

"It was an accident Ty. You never meant to burn the temple down. Like I said before the fault was my own for not insuring that you turned off the stove."

"Actually...that was Hem who started the fire." A hand came around an old broken tree and grabbed Ty. Her hand holding Tys hands behind her back

"You see...I told you I'd get revenge...and I guess this is how its going to happen. I'll take...what you love most." Koma said. Her eyes began to glow.

"You know life is kind of boring at my age. Lets play a game. I'm putting a poison into her that will kill her within three days. If you can find out just what the venom is I'll save her life." Koma said looking down at Ty and smiled.

"Just let her go." Zane tried and watched as Koma shoved her fingernail into the side of Ty's neck. The young girl struggled trying to get free.

"Zane!" The girl cried out trying to get to her father.

"Some father you turned out to be." Koma pulled her fingernail from the tiny hole in Ty's neck. "Three days Nindroid. Oh and...my children should make this interesting for you along the way." She snapped her fingers and she disappeared.

"What have I done..." Zane said taking hold of his daughter looking over the hole in her neck.

"Come on we need to regroup back at the Temple." Cole said. "Maybe Misako will know what to do."
