CHAPTER 6

RESCUE MISSION PLAN

KITTY'S POV:

I don't get everything that just happened. I was in my bedroom, minding my own business, reading a good book that I had brought with me from home. It was the same book my father used to read to me when I was younger before he left for whatever journey it was that he's on. I'm not sure if he's still on it or not, but I have faith that one day, he'll return home. Anyway, I was trying to enjoy a quiet evening with Mongo sleeping at the end of my bed when Misako rushed in the room. When she told me that Nya was kidnapped by someone, I rushed out of bed and placed my bathrobe around my body. I ran inside the control room, seeing Kai standing next to Pixal, who was typing away at the main computer. It was kind of embarrassing to be standing in the same room with him. I felt as though somebody was trying to yank my robe off. That's when I saw Mongo pull on the bottom of it with his teeth. I chuckled, picking him up off the ground.

Rubbing his head, I knew he was worried about what was going on as much as I was. I turned to see that somebody else decided to join us. Carol had came in along with her brother Gregory, who followed her every move. I don't see why an older brother follows his younger sister around like he's her bodyguard or something. Even my brother isn't that overprotective and he's the sweetest guy I've ever known. I shook my head, which caused Gregory to look my way.

"I hope you don't have a problem with me, considering that you're staring me down," Gregory said, walking up towards me.

"Of course I don't," I said, "Except for one thing. You shouldn't be following your sister around wherever she goes."

"My sister has the tendency to end up in dangerous situations. Believe me, I've had to get her out of them plenty of times."

"It makes me feel as though you're treating her like a baby."

"I'm not treating anyone like a baby. I'm just trying to be a responsible older brother. Now stay out of my business."

"I wasn't even in your business in the first place."

"There's no use in arguing about it," Lloyd said, "Just let it go."

"Yeah," Gregory said, "What green guy said.

"For your information, my name is not green guy. It's Lloyd Garmadon."

"Whatever." Gregory walked back up to his sister.

Lloyd walked up next to me. "What's his problem?"

"I don't know, but he better get over it quick before I end up putting my fist inside his mouth," I said, holding out my fist. Mongo saw that I couldn't stand Gregory as he started growling.

Lloyd stared at my pet baby tiger. "I think you're starting to teach your tiger how to hate others that you can't stand."

"It's not the fact that I can't stand Gregory. It's the fact that I can't stand him trailing around his little sister all the time. It's just plain ridiculous. Even my older brother has never done that. He tried once. That was his first and last time, and it didn't end very well."

"What happened?"

"Let's just say that I tied him and his underwear to the village emergency bell. That'll teach him to try and protect his little sister, who by the way happens to be the toughest, prettiest, tomboyish girl Jungula Village has ever known."

"You know, not a lot of tomboyish girls admit to themselves that they're pretty."

"Well, I'm just one of those tomboyish girls who happens to wear cute dresses and slather make-up on her face from time to time. Okay, I'm really getting tired of standing around here discussing about nothing. What's the big emergency? What all do we know so far about Nya`s disappearance?"

Kai sighed. "Unfortunately, nothing much. Somebody had witness Nya getting knocked out and was being dragged inside the women's restroom. When one of the waitresses went to see what was going on, she went inside to find that Nya and the kidnapper had disappeared. They weren't seen anywhere around the restaurant."

"Well, this is really starting to officially make me go nuts, and I don't mean the kind you eat," I said.

"Kitty, I know you are as concerned about this as the rest of us, but we don't have the answers to all your questions," Misako said, "Be patient, darling."

"Be patient? You want me to be patient. I'll have you know that my patience wears thin when a situation like this happens, especially if I'm involved in it. I'm becoming one of the mistresses of spinjitzu, and you're telling me I have to be patient."

"In situations like this, we have to remain calm and focus. You seem to be the type of person that's always ready to handle anything that comes your way. Don't be so eager to place your fist in the face of an enemy the first moment you see them. Patience is always the answer when becoming a ninja."

"Okay, this is really starting to make me angry."

"Uh, hello?" Kai said, "My sister has been kidnapped and I think it's time we came up with a plan to get her back."

"Yes, of course," Misako said, "Okay, so far we know that Nya was kidnapped. The question is who kidnapped her. That's what we need to figure out. It will give us a lead on where Nya could be."

"Do you think it's one of the Mistoffs?" Carol asked.

"That's a good theory, but I'm not so sure." Misako looked back at the main computer. "Did anybody take any pictures of the incident?"

"Well, there's only one that somebody took and posted it on Greenbook," Kai said, "Somebody else took it and luckily I happen to be friends with him. We went to school together, after all."

"Well, don't just stand there," Gregory said, "Pull up the video."

"Okay, okay."

"Hey, lay off the guy, will you?" I said, anger fuming up in me.

Gregory walked up to me. "Didn't I tell you not to poke your nose where it doesn't belong?"

"I can place my nose wherever it wants to go. Don't tell me what to do, buddy. It's bad enough you tell your sister what to do."

"He doesn't tell me what to do," Carol said, looking over at her brother, "Do you?"

"No, I don't," Gregory said, "If that's what you're wondering."

"Guys, worry about what's going on right now," Misako said, "It's time to think up of a plan. If we want to have any chance in saving Nya, we can't just sit here and keep arguing with one another. Now split apart from each other and listen."

"Good riddance," I said, walking away from Gregory.

"Thank you. Now, we need to come up with a plan. We are all contributing with this. We need to be a search party. The only way we can do that is stick together."

"Where could this place be that has Nya anyway?" Carol asked.

"My theory is that the Mistoffs have her," Misako said, "They are the only one's that have been causing trouble for the last couple of weeks. Here's what we're going to do. We need to go see some specialists about this."

"Specialists?" I asked.

"Don't tell me," Kai said, "Ronin. But why did you say specialists? Doesn't Ronin work alone?"

"He used to, but that was before he found somebody to work with," Misako said, "He recently met this girl who happens to own a shop of her own. She and Ronin merge their shops together in order to create one. That's when he found out that she stole items to sell and make a living off of, too."

"Great. Looks like we have a duet on our hands."

"Ronin doesn't steal as much as he used to. Nowadays, he's pretty much decided to go on a clean lifestyle. Nothing more, nothing less. He robs in his spare time, though."

"I've never heard of this Ronin guy, but he doesn't sound friendly," I said, "If he tries anything funny, I'll make sure he has a mouth full of fist."

"Nobody's going to have a mouth full of anything," Misako said.

"I just hope whoever this girl is has fallen in love with him," Carol said, "You know what they say. Love at first sight."

"Love at first sight?" I said, "Ha! It's not the first time I've heard that one before."

"I have a feeling that you don't believe in true love," Gregory said.

"I do. It's just...how the heck can two thieves fall in love?"

"It doesn't matter," Kai said, "If he knows where my sister is, that's the main priority right now. Hopefully, he hasn't already made any deals with the Mistoffs."

"On account of how dangerous they are, I don't think he would," Pixal said.

"Okay, everyone," Misako said, "Pack up your travel bags and let's start hitting the road. The time to rescue Nya is now."

"Yes, Misako," everyone in the room said.

Everyone said not another word as they packed up and started heading out. A mistress was in need of rescuing.

WELL, ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL CHAPTER OF THIS DONE.

I FEEL AS THOUGH I'VE ABANDONED THIS STORY, BUT I HAVEN'T. THERE'S BEEN SO MUCH HOMEWORK AND STUFF LATELY THAT I HAVEN'T FOUND SPARE TIME. PLUS, I HAVE SO MANY OTHER FANFICTIONS IN MIND.

WELL, SEE YOU ALL LATER. I'LL TRY TO GET ANOTHER CHAPTER POSTED FOR THIS SOON.

PLEASE REVIEW.
