Ok, this chapter is going to show how they got there. And a little after. Also, hopefully this will clear up some confusion about the previous chapter. Thanks for all your support!

Zane's POV
This girl, Tora, was very peculiar to me. I sensed something off about her. And how she knew that Cole was missing was beyond me. I looked over at Kai who was barely holding back from running up and punching her to oblivion. He obviously didn't like this girl. We stood in silence for a while before I ask, "How did you know Cole was missing?"
She broke away from glaring at Kai. "I saw it on the news." 'The news?'
"How did that get out to the news?" Kai thought out loud.
"I don't know. Gail Gossip was interviewing this guy named Dareth. I was just trying to see if it was true. After all, Cole is my old childhood friend. In fact, I haven't seen him since he went mountain climbing with some of our other friends." So, she was an old friend of Cole's. Interesting… And I'm guessing the last day she saw Cole was when Sensei found him.
"How on earth did Dareth know?!" Kai blurted out. Tora just shrugged her sholders.
"Pardon me for asking Tora, but did you have something you need to do here? We must be leaving soon." I asked her.
"I'm coming with you. If Cole is in trouble I do not plan on going home so early." She shot back. I looked at Kai, who was again, glaring daggers at her. 'If looks could kill…'
"Sorry princess, there's no room on this ship." Kai responded. Tora just looked at him and walked over to the bridge. "HEY!" Kai yelled as he ran after her. I followed because I didn't want him to hurt anyone.
When I got there, I could see Tora talking to Sensei and Nya trying to hold Kai back, because Jay's arm was injured and Cole wasn't here. I walked over to Nya to help her with Kai.

Sensei's POV
I was looking at the location of Cole when I see a familiar face walk in. "Tora!" I exclaim as she walks over to me. She seems to be quite annoyed. I can probably guess why. *cough- Kai -cough.* Anyways, that's beside the point.
"Do you guys know where Cole is yet?" I hear her say.
"Yes, but might I ask how you knew he was gone?" I was wondering how she knew Cole was gone. We haven't told anyone besides… Oh. "Was it Dareth?" I look at her and she nods. 'I knew we shouldn't of told him. He's worse than Jay at keeping a secret.' "Well, anyways, how have you been? You know, ever since your father…" She put her hand on my shoulder.
"He's in a better place now." She seems to have moved on. That's good. "Umm, so, where have you guys located him?"
"The dark island." I replied simply. I looked at her face and she seemed to have spaced out.
"Would it be ok of I come?" I looked at her for a moment before nodding that she could come. "Awesome! When do we leave?"
"We leave in about 4 minutes."

Zane's POV
Kai was done trying to get Tora because Jay told him if he didn't calm down he would hide his hair gel. I looked to the side and Sensei was walking over with Tora. "This is Tora." He stated. "She will be coming with us to find Cole." I saw Kai look at Sensei with a 'really?!' look and he just shrugged.
"We don't even know that much about her!" Kai said. Tora just rolled her eyes.
"She is an old friend." Sensei replied. "She is Morrow's daughter. Master of wind." Another elemental master. Sure it's an element we've seen before, but its also an element we never thought we would see again.
"Excuse me Sensei," Jay started. "But don't we have a team mate to save?" He looked quite annoyed with the circumstances we were in.
"Ahh yes." he replied. "We will arrive in an hour."
One Hour Later
I looked over the side of the bounty as we approached the dark island. As we got closer, I could have sworn I saw something run to the forest. I was knocked out of my thoughts as I heard Kai and Tora yelling at each other. 'yeesh.' We started to land when I say something dive behind a bush. I motioned for everyone else (that being Kai, Tora, Nya, Jay, and Lloyd.) to follow me.

Lloyd's POV
We followed Zane as he ushered us towards the bush. I looked at it and saw movement. When I looked closer I could see something purple. Everyone but Zane stopped, who was walking closer to the bush. As Zane was about to look behind the bush, it bolted. I looked closer and saw it was the same hooded figure that caught Cole! I noticed that everyone else saw this too and we started sprinting towards him/ her.
I stopped running when 2 other people jumped out of the forest. One wearing armor, and the other just had a mask. I tried to run past them until the one with the mask ran strait for me. I dodged their attack and turned around grabbing my sword. As they attacked again, this time when I dodged, I slipped a bit and ended up stabbing them in the side. They then screamed in agony. The voice sounded feminine making me assume it was a girl. She was, after all, wearing a lot of pink and gold. I stood there shocked for a moment until I heard someone yell "MEGHAN!" I looked back to see the hooded one running over towards the action. As they were running their hood fell off. It was a young girl with short brown hair. One side of her hair was shorter than the other. As I was spaced out, I realized that she was running over to where the girl I stabbed was. She stopped by her than looked back to me. Then the strange thing happened.
She started glowing. It was a dark purple type of glow. She looked back at me and glared. She then attacked me. I blocked her with my sword. But then she jumped over me and stabbed me from behind with a dagger she pulled from her cloak. "THAT'S FOR MY SISTER!" she yelled as I fell to the floor. I looked up at her standing over me. She was looking at me for a moment and closed her eyes. I watched her as a smile snuck its way to her face. She turned to face the others as she said, "Who's next?"

Sahara's POV
OMG I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO! Izzy is unlocking her powers and Meghan's not able to help! I look back at Izzy and she was looking in my direction. "That's it. I'm dead." I mumbled to myself. The 4 I was fighting look at me because they heard me and look back at Izzy. She turns to the green one and kicks him in the side. I then see Izzy sprint towards me. I make a sort of girly yelp as she grabs my shirt and sprouts dragon wings. She then starts flying bringing me with her. "Where are you taking me?!" I yelled at her.
"Back to our hideout of course!" She shouts back.
"Your not going to kill me?" I ask her.
"Of course not you dork! I'm supposed to protect you. Not kill you. What made you think I was going to kill you." 'oh yeah, I kind of forgot about the prophecy.' I looked back and saw them all staring at me. As I look at them all I realize we left Meghan.
"Izzy! We have to go back and get your sister!" I looked at her and she just shrugged.
"What use is she to us? She holds the good side of my power. Surely she would stop us from bringing back the Overlord." I looked at her for a moment then thought about my dad. I really miss him and want to see him again. I was silent the rest of the way to the cave.

Meghan's POV
I watched as the dark took control of Izzy. I tried to get up to help her, but there was nothing I could do. I feel dizzy and have a headache. Why do I feel so… Useless? I looked up to see Izzy begin her transformation as she sprouted dragon wings. She grabbed Sahara and flew away. They left me…
I look around and realize that I am at the mercy of the enemy. All my life, I was raised with the Overlord along with Sahara and Izzy as we ran away from home at our dad's order. I was always taught to never trust the threat, and the ninja became that threat as they killed the Overlord. I tried to stand up as they all looked over to me, but I just fell back down again. As they started to get closer, I began panicking. I reached in my backpack and grabbed a spare dagger. I shakily stood up, this time not falling down, and pointed my dagger in their direction. They backed up, and then they drew their weapons. 'oh great.' I was actually hoping they would back down. Guess that's wishful thinking. The one that found Izzy in the first place put his weapon away and started walking closer. He was about 2 yards away when I tried to run. I ended up tripping and falling to the ground. Thing is, I fell on my cut wound. The pain surrounded me as I let out a cry of agony. I looked around and realized I had no hope. 'I'm surrounded and wounded. They won. My life will most likely end today.' These were my thoughts as I began to black out. Little did I know that my life was about to change forever.

Lloyd's POV
I watched as Kai came over to help me up. The cut didn't hurt too badly. I put my arm on his shoulder. I looked over and saw everyone else trying to get close to the girl I injured. I still felt bad for her as I watched her trip when she attempted to run. She began to close her eyes as Zane ran over. I watched as he picked her up bridal style. "We need to get back to the Bounty!" He yelled as he headed towards that direction. We all followed without another word. Kai and I lagged behind a-little because of my injury. I looked ahead and see Tora was also walking slower than before. I ask Kai to speed up and we catch up to her.
"Are you ok?" I ask. She looks over to me and sort of glares.
"I'm fine, thank you very much. I don't need any help." I looked at her for a moment and saw she was limping.
"Why are you limping?" She shot me an annoyed look and replied.
"Just a sprain." She then sped up so that I couldn't talk to her. She seems a bit distant but I'm not one to judge. I will just let her cool down and ask again later.
