(Dave's POV)
We were deep in the darkened and now abandoned North Wind HQ dragging Kai towards the marine where my sub was keep. I was ahead as my octopi managed to tie Kai up. I made sure that they duct-taped his mouth I'm in no mood for his dark humor right now. Once I get Kai locked up in my sub I will rejoin the North Wind and Shen's fleet which is currently outside…or at least nearby…" "Nicolas," I said, "get ready to cage him…" Kai seemed to struggle again his restraints but my octopi stayed firmed. I held the electra-sword in my tentacles I briefly thought about cutting one or both of kai's hands off as payback…besides he could just use his massive stores of chi to heal himself and grow them back. At least I think he can. And No I'm not going to ask him.
At last check all his jade amulets were accounted for but Corporal was around his neck. "why did you put the polar bear on the chain around you neck…" "Well it's a close to that panda as I'm going to get…" "Plus you like have something around you neck," I said. "It's no oogway but it's going to have to do… now I have several threats that I would like to make now…" "I don't think so…somebody re duct-tape his mouth. One of my octopi Elisa I think or was it Helen I couldn't tell…my minions keep changing their colors on me. Despite Kai's struggling, which only succeeding in making the octopi tighten their grip, we made it to the marina.
I doubt the penguins or North Wind in their rush to get out of here got an oppuntiunty to see the damage to the base. Oh they probably noticed the destroyed balcony in the main hanger. But that is nothing compared to the damage to the rest of the base. The North wind server was kaput, the lower levels were flooded, their interbase monorail was destroyed in some places, part of the secondary hanger fell into the ocean, and their powerplant was simply gone. But as soon as we reach the sub that is went Kai decides to unleashed a massive blast of chi that took out my minions. "You should have joined me when you had the chance," Kai said.
"You not taking their chi are you?" I asked. "Who side I was?" Kai said. "Too bad I programmed your sub to send transmit a virus…that will set off the selfdestruct of every North Wind jet!" "Oh no," I said. "including…the one that just landed on Shen's new flagship!" "New flagship?" I said. "Oh it used to belong to Drago bludfisk…" Kai replied, "Until I took his chi…How Shen got it I don't know…as I sunk it!" "You could have used it as you ship," I said. "Yeah I could…but that ship didn't even look awesome!" "anyway," I said, "then I guess you have to take my chi!" "Oh I will," Kai said. I pulled out a remote, "too bad I just set off the sub self destruct…"
"When?" Kai said. "when we entered the marina…" I said, "you do know my sub's run by a nuclear reactor?" "how did you…" "I knew you were binding your time until you could build up enough chi to take out my minions…" I said, "so I planed ahead…" "what?" Kai said. "I set the reactor to maxium power…" I said, "and opps!" "Opps what?" Kai said. "I just turned off the cooling system…and with out the cooling system and reactor will overheat and when the reactor overheats…Meltdown." "ah irradiate the base above us…so the North wind will never recover!" "Don't worry their's seven feet of concrete and steel between us and the ruins of the base…" I said, "Oh they don't have any plans to return here anytime soon… " "I am a spirit warrior…" Kai said, "You will get incinerated and I will survive…"
"Now even you can escape radiation sickness…" I said. "care to test that theory…" A computer voice from within my ship blared out, "Warning Nuclear Reactor Critical! Meltdown eminent!" "good bye," I said. I will get incinerated but at least that's better then death by radiation…I thought I hear the door to the marine slam shut but I didn't have time to think about that. In less then a instant…the Sub exploded and the last thing I felt was intense heat and then nothing. And then I found myself…IN THE SPIRIT REALM!? "Wait?" I said, "I'm not a warrior! Why am I here!" "Because you died heroically," Oogway said. "purposely turning a reactor into a nuclear bomb is not heroic…I assure you," I said, "no matter what the circumstance…" "Nobody saw that explosion," oogway said, "It was contained in the marina…as is the radiation…" I quickly remembered that the North had anti-nuclear measure. The marina would seal itself off from the rest of the base and the environment outside. Nobody gets in…no radiation gets out…No Kai gets out…" "I'm afraid Kai teleported himself out," Oogway said reading my mind. "What," I said, "How?"
"He has gained new powers…" Oogways said, "and that concerns me…" "what can we do about it…we're dead!" I said. "Nothing," Oogways said. "Oh that's just good!" "How can we even know what's going on?" Oogway created a portal and we could see and hear what was happening back in the mortal realm… "well that's new…" I said. "I didn't tell po about this…" Oogway said. "Wait we're in the 2016," I said, "shouldn't Po be here already…" "Spoilers," Oogway said. "What?" "Some human female visited me…she had big hair and a gun…and a few secrets," Oogway said, "and a incessant need to say spoilers…whatever that means." After a few minutes of ackward silence I said turned my attention to the portal. "Classifed what was that bang?" Skipper's voice said. "The Marina just sealed itself off," Classified said, "there's been a nuclear explosion…" "Dave," Skipper said.
