A/N: I hope you enjoy the chapter. Please Read and Review. I don't own Ninjago.
The air around me became colder as the laughter grew louder. I looked for something to hold on to but just kept falling. Blinking a few times I still found my self in the bottomless pit. This can't be happening. I closed my eyes tightly. My eyes flew open, I sat up quickly and looked around. Brown stone walls, a wooden desk, a chair by a wall and bed underneath me. I was still in the dojo. A wave of relief flowed over me. Dr. Julien ran into the room.
"I heard yelling is everything ok?" he asked, the worry in his voice was clear.
I stared at the wall. "Ya, I'm good." I yawned. "How long was I out?"
"Around an hour and a half." he walked over. "I'm going to check your arm to make sure you didn't reopen the wound."
"Have Sensei and Misako come back yet?" I asked.
Still looking at my arm he replied, "No, not yet."
If they can't find Lloyd it's their fault but, where could they be?
"Your arm doesn't look any worse, so that is good." Dr. Julien then proceeded to look at my ankle, I winced a little when he touched it. "I'd say your lucky it wasn't as bad as Lloyd's leg. That wouldn't have been very comfortable to deal with." he stepped back.
"Lloyd is a strong kid." I said. He better be ok. "I'm going to go look for them." I stood up.
"Kai, I'm sure they are fine. You need your rest." Dr. Julien replied.
I took a few steps forward, wincing when I stepped down on my left foot. "They would have been back by now." I retorted.
"They will find Lloyd, don't worry."
"If I had gone with them , they would have found him by now."
"Your injured Kai, you need to heal before you can fight." he said calmly.
"Lloyd could be in danger right now." I shook my head. "I'm going and you can't stop me."
"I can see that," Dr. Julien sighed. "but someone needs to go with you."
I'm not asking for permission. "Let's go then."
"I'm not going," he replied. Yes! "Dareth will." No!
"You have got to be joking." I said in a monotone voice. "I'm going to end up saving him at least 50 times while we are out there!"
"Either you both go or you stay here," he said. "and I think you won't get far without help."
"Watch me." I made my way to the wall and followed it out of the room. "See, I can handle walking around the city."
"First of all, you're going to make your ankle worse. Second, if your being chased by stone soldiers or perhaps the other ninja, what will you do then?" Dr. Juilien asked.
"Use spinjitzu."
"Your spinjitzu is weakened by your injuries."
"I'm still going." I stated and hopped forward a little.
"Look Ed, Kai is awake." I turned my head and saw Jay's parents.
"Your right Edna." Ed replied. "How are you doing Kai? We heard you broke your arm and ankle."
"My ankle is just badly sprained but it's true. Right now I'm trying to convince Dr. Julien that I can go and look for Sensei on my own." I said.
"Shouldn't you be resting?" Edna asked gently.
"I feel like I've been sleeping all day." I lied. If I have another dream like that I might be awake for a while.
"If you say so." she said. "You haven't seen Jay around have you?"
"Not since the battle earlier, sorry." I replied. Last time I saw him in person he nearly cut off my arm.
They looked at each other worriedly. "I hope that he is ok." Ed said. "Thank you for telling us." and they walked a way.
I turned to continue my conversation with Zane's dad but he wasn't there. I can finally get out of here. I leaned against the wall on my right and limped to the doorway of the next room. There were groups of people, sitting down or standing, in the main room of the dojo. Some people I knew and others I didn't. A thin path went through the center of the room. Just my luck.
Cole's father walked up to me. "Hello Kai, I haven't seen you since the race."
"We have been really busy lately," I replied. "fighting stone soldiers has taken up most of our time."
"I didn't see Cole with you, is he alright?" he asked.
I thought about just telling him what happened and that Cole was now under the Overlord's control but, he probably wouldn't have taken it very well. "I was just heading out to find Lloyd and Sensei Wu. As far as I know Cole is ok."
"Don't you think going out there, where hundreds of stone soldiers are, in your condition is dangerous?"
"Dareth has control of the army, I think I'll manage."
"Ok then. If you see Cole around, please let me know." he said.
Next time I see Cole I'm going to end up battling him. "I will keep an eye out." I replied.
"Thank you Kai." Cole's father said and left to sit with his group.
I looked ahead and the door seemed closer. Finally. I took a couple of steps forward but, stopped when I heard Dareth's voice behind me.
"Hey Dr. Julien I found him!" he yelled. "Kai wait up!"
All eyes landed on me. Just great. I limped back into the hall where Dareth and Dr. Julien were now standing. Dareth still had the helmet that controlled the army and Zane's dad was holding some fabric in one hand and a crutch in the other.
"Your going to need these." he said and handed me the crutch.
"What's the cloth for?" I asked.
"A sling, I doubt you can keep your arm up forever and this should keep your arm out of the way when you need to fight." he replied as he wrapped it around my arm and tied it off behind my neck. "That should work. How does it feel?"
All in all I just wanted to get out of the dojo for a while. I looked down at the sling, the first thought that came to my mind was my dream. Flash to dream: The other ninja, running, laughter, cornered, bottomless pit, falling...falling...falling... I must have zoned out because Dareth was waving his hand in front of my face.
"Kai are you ok?"
I blinked. "Ya I'm fine. The sling helps thanks Dr. Julien. Can we go now?"
"You two need to be careful out there and be back within two hours," Dr. Julien said. if your gone longer I will send someone to find you."
I'm not a little kid! "Fine." I replied.
"Ok then, see you two in a couple hours." he said and walked away.
I turned to Dareth. "Let's get moving."
A/N: This my longest chapter for this story. I plan to add chapters more often to this story for a while. I'm having minor writers block on my first story but don't worry I haven't given up on it. Ideas for this story just flow a little smoother. Please review.
