Chapter Five:

Jay picked up the Philip screwdriver, handing it carefully to Nya. "So…what about your family is soo dangerous?"

Nya accepted the screwdriver, a frown on her face. "Je suis le deuxième en ligne au trône." She went back to fixing up the beat-up spaceship.

Jay frowned, leaning against the ship's side, biting back a wince at how warm it was from the sun. "Ok…let's pretend that I don't speak Alienese…"

"It's not Alienese. It's Archian." She glanced over at him for five seconds, before sighing in defeat. "Fine. I said that I am the second in line to the throne. Happy?" She snapped the last word, annoyance and anger mixing together.

Jay opened his mouth to say something to calm her down, when a new voice spoke up…one that made Nya tense up in fear… "Ma douce, je pensais que je ne te retrouverais jamais après que ton horrible frère t'ait pris de moi ..." Turning around, Nya looked at the speaker…one she had hoped to never see again….

His pitch black hair was slicked back into a long ponytail, and he was wearing a silk suit and tie. Polished dress shoes adorned his feet. Slipping his hand into one of his pockets, he walked over to her.

Nya turned bright red with anger, her fingertips flashing dangerously with her bright red sparks. "Now listen here buster… I am not taking any of that! Kai knows where I am at and should be coming by to check on me soon! Your plan to steal the throne of Archia is over."

Chuckling suddenly, he lifted his one hand that wasn't in his pocket up and grabbed her by the arm. "I somehow knew you were going to say that. But really… who did you think the people were going to trust a couple of distraught kids, or the fully grown, highly mature man that swooped in and lead the investigation. For no cost at all."

Nya wiggled frantically, not wanting to go with him at all.

"You are soo immature. Not to worry, once we get you back home nous allons nous marier et le trône sera à moi!" Coronzo burst out laughing, only to yelp in pain as Nya twisted in his gasp and kneed him where the sun doesn't shine.

Releasing her, he doubled over in pain, gasping for breath. Jay wasn't sure what was going, the rapid speak in a language he didn't know really threw him off, but he was trained to recognize kidnapping attempts and how to stop them…and Coronzo was definitely trying to take Nya by force.

Leaping forward, he pulled out his nunchucks, hitting the alien in the back of the head. "Let go off my girlfriend!"

"GIRLFRIEND!?" Whipping around at lightning speed, he yanked something out of his pocket. Jay wasn't sure what it was, it looked like a cross between a dagger and a gun.

Before he could think of a way to get out of this situation, Kai suddenly appeared in front of him, kicking Coronzo hard in the chest. "Back off! I approve of this match!"

Growling, Coronzo attacked Kai at full strength. "¡Mocosa! ¡¿Por qué no vas a morir ya ?!"

Kai smirked as he dodged the blade part of the weapon, amusement dancing in his eyes. "You know…I am quite glad that Papa said that I didn't have to learn Galatian. No leave us alone!" Kai punched Coronzo in the face.

Coronzo snarled angrily even as he tackled Kai to the ground. Jay bit his bottom lip for five seconds, before leaping in and helping Kai beat up the alien.

~Meanwhile Back at the Monastery~

Cole opened the fridge door, chuckling at Skylor's annoyance over the other elemental masters. His eyes darted into the fridge for one second, before snapping the door shut. "WHO ATE MY CAKE!?"

Zane shook his head as he picked up his newspaper. "I have not seen your cake, Cole. I have been helping Sensei set up the new obstacle course for our friends."

Cole turned to face Skylor, who threw her hands in the air in surrender. "Don't look at me. I've been with Misako most of the day."

Cole sighed, before turning to face Griffin, who had just entered the room. "What about you? Did you eat my cake?"

"No…look, I am only getting me a drink of milk." Griffin moved to get into the fridge.

Cole slammed his hand hard onto the fridge door, blocking him. "No one gets anything out of the fridge until I get a confession!"

Skylor and Griffin turned to face Zane, who merely shrugged. "Jay likes his pudding cups, and Cole likes his cake. You don't touch their deserts without repercussions. Are you sure you just didn't misplace it?"

"I do not misplace cake!" Cole yelled, even as all of the other elemental masters walked into the room.

Chamille narrowed her eyes, freezing in place. "What's going on here?"

"Someone ate my cake! Was it you?" Cole pointed an accusing finger at her.

"What? I did not eat your cake!" Chamille protested loudly as she planted her fists on her hips.

"It did not just stand up and walked away missie! Someone ate it!" Cole bellowed as he banged his fist onto the table. Turning to face Tox, he pointed to her suddenly. "Unless you ate it!"

Tox arched an eyebrow upwards, crossing her arms across her chest. "Dude… I have celiac. There is no way I would have eaten your precious cake."

"Oh? Is Cole's cake missing and he's accusing people right and left again?" Misako walked into the room to see what the old up was.

"It's completely ridiculous!" All of the elemental masters minus the two ninjas and Neuro exclaimed in unison.

Misako chuckled, only for a groan to escape her as Cole zoomed in on Neuro. "You don't seem to find this tragedy important. Maybe you ate my cake!"

Neuro looked at him with tired eyes, exasperation flooding his face. "Cole…no one ate your cake. It's behind the milk."

Cole blinked, before turning to open the fridge again. Pulling the bottle of milk out, he handed it to Griffin. Glancing back into the fridge again, a blush rose up as he reached in and pulled out a plate of chocolate cake. "You're…uh, right. Sorry guys. I think I got carried away there."

"You think?!"

~Back with the Smith Siblings and Jay~

Nya watched horrified as her brother, love of her life, and her parents' murderer fought each other in the small clearing. She was so busy watching to make sure that Kai and Jay didn't get hurt; she didn't notice Coronzo's henchmen sneaking up on her until it was too late. Nya yelped in surprise as the rough Galatians seized her from behind, their iron grip impossible for her to break out of.

Before she could yell for help, there was a loud bang similar to a gun going off, followed by a loud splash as something, or someone, fell into the nearby river….

A/N: Done! Oh look. A cliffhanger! I wonder who was shot? Jay or Kai? Or did one of them get a hold of Coronzo's weapon? And no one stole Cole's cake! Please review! Won't guarantee if I'll see it or not, but I love reviews!

Review!
