Chapter 3

Jack's POV

Everyone got to the hospital in less then 20 minutes after I texted them. Then I quickly explained the situation.

"Ok let me get this straight" Jerry started, "Kai kidnapped Rudy, he wants something, from you, but you don't know what it is?"

"Don't forget the part where Rudy thinks it's Jack that kidnapped him" Kim added.

"Yeah. That too." Jerry said

"Yeah. No you pretty much got it Jerry" I said

"We'll this is just great" Milton said. He went and sat in the lounge chair in the corner of the room.

My laptop started ringing again. I opened it. It was Kai. "Guys. It's Kai! Get behind the laptop and be quiet!"

They all quickly ran to the foot of my bed. I unlocked my laptop the answered the call.

"Hey Jack"

"Hello Kai"

"Now. Here I have a deal for you"

"Which is?"

"I'll give you back you sensei. On one condition"

"Which is?"

"Don't say that again"

"Ok. Tell me the condition"

"We have a fight. To the death. Your friends can't know. Only you"

"Dude, I can barely walk! And school starts next week!"

"You have two weeks to get healthy. If you refuse the invitation. Lights out. Your choice Jack. We'll talk later"

Then he hung up.

"Guys it's ok. You can come out now" I said to them

"A fight to the death? What does he want to die?" Kim asked.

"Kim. I'm not going to kill him. He might be pure evil but he's still my family"

"But dude, he tried to kill you. Twice!" Jerry pointed out.

"Yeah! He said he would have let you fall off the Great Wall of China!" Milton added.

"I know. But I'm not gonna let Rudy die. Not because of me. Like I said in China, I might not win, but he'll know he's been in a fight"

"Jack," Kim started,"you're a mess! You're not suppose to leave the hospital until the first day of school, even then your casts don't come off until that weekend, and your ribs aren't doing that well at healing"

"Wait. How do you know this and not me?"

"I spent all the time in the hospital I could. I overheard A LOT"

"Well. While we're on the topic. Can you tell me EXACTLY what's wrong with me? I could tell the doctors were leaving something out"

"Ok. So you know an out your wrist, foot, and ribs"

"Yes I do"

"Well. Here's the part you don't know. I don't even think your PARENTS know"

"Well? What is it?!" I asked eagerly.

"A piece if your rip cage totally broke off and floated off into your body(A/N idk if that's even possible)so they had to do an operation to put it back. Look at your stomach."

I lifted up my shirt. The guys and I gasped at what we saw. There was a large scar running from my nipple down to about 3 inches above my belly button.

"Kim. What happened?!" I asked.

"Like I said. A piece of your rib cage floated off into your body. It almost cut open one of your kidneys"

"Oh man. How am I EVER suppose to fight Kai like this? How am I suppose to fight anyone anymore?!"

"I don't know Jack..."

"But what am I suppose to do?! We can't just let Rudy die!" I was nearly in tears. I had been doing karate for as long as I remember and now, my sensei's life was on the line, and I could barely move! I can't imagine life without karate. There would be only one other reason to live. Kim. Kim and Karate are the only two things I live for. While deep in though Kim said,

"Wait. How about we send someone on Jack's place!"

"Kim. How are we gonna find someone that looks exactly like me, AND is good enough to fight Kai. I mean. I'm the only one who's beat Kai before, and even then I just slammed him into a table then he ran away"

"Wait. What about Brody?!" Kim suggested

"Brody? Brody the Black Dragon?"

"Yeah! He's trying for his second degree black belt next month, and he looks similar to you"

"Eh. Maybe" I was a little unsure

"Come on Jack! He's our only shot!" Kim protested.

"She has a point Jack" Milton pointed out. She DID have a point. If Kai figured out it wasn't me, I could say I need another two weeks.

"Ok fine" I said,"but don't beg him. If he says no then I'll ask Kai for another two weeks. And I'll ask him for another two weeks if he finds out the Brody is pretending to be me"

"Fine" Kim said. She looked happy, and relieved.

Then the doctor came in. He had a mask over his face and he looked strangely fimiliar

"Kids. You have to leave now"

"But Doctor, visiting hours aren't over until..." Kim started.

"GET OUT!" He yelled at them. Jerry and Milton immediately. Kim kissed me on the cheek then got up to leave. She took one last look into the room then closed the door. Leaving me alone with the doctor. He walked over to me and leaned on my bed. Then he pulled his mask down. I knew he looked fimiliar! It was Ty.

"Ty?! What are you..."

"Are you in, Jack?"

"Yes. Yes I'm in. I'll be ready in two weeks!"

"Good, now..."

"KIM!"

Kim came bursting into the room. Milton and Jerry weren't far behind. Ty looked over at them.

"TY?!" Kim said in shock. She ran over to him and kicked him in the face. He quickly pulled up his mask and ran from the room,"what was that about" she asked.

"He wanted to know if I was in. I'm fighting Kai in 2 weeks. Bring Brody in here tomorrow. We need to talk to him"

"Ok. I love you, Jack"

"I love you too" then we kissed. It was short, nothing huge. Then she went to leave.

"Wait, Kim. Stay strong. And get Brody"

"You got it Jack" she smiled at me then left

This story might be a little shorter then "I probably shouldn't have done that" Also I'm going to do that thing where it's a day in one chapter, then in the next it's 3 weeks later. lime lapses that's what they're called! And lastly, this story is going to be suckier then "I probably shouldn't have done that" because the sequels are ALWAYS suckier then the original stories. I don't know why I do so many...
