Hey everybody, last time we left off Zuko seemed to have caught up with our heroes, but will they be able to escape from Zuko this time? Let us proceed and find out, shall we? ;)

Chapter 10

The rescue part 3

(Cole's pov)

We all saw Zuko standing right in front of us, and he did NOT look happy. I know Zuko always tries to "play" with us and mess with our heads, but this time it looked as if he had enough, and wasn't planning on fooling around.

"Did you ninja honestly think you could get away from me!?", Zuko asked with anger.

Kai was pulling out his flame sword, but I stopped him and explained, "We can't fight him, Jay's still sick and we can't stop Zuko if were dragging him around."

Kai was reluctant to put his sword away, but that's when Nya did something completely unexpected. She grabbed one of the daggers she brought with her and threw it at Zuko's face. Luckily, Zuko was just as surprised as we were, so the dagger ended up stabbing his eye. Zuko started howling in pain, while trying to pull the dagger out. I knew this was our best chance to escape, so I shouted, "Run!"

We all started running as fast as we could, but it was pretty hard since we had to help Jay walk. At one point Zane had to carry him, but no matter where we ran Zuko would catch up with us. This would make us have to turn in a different direction, after we finally found a safe place to rest Kai decided he had enough.

"Urgh! This is hopeless! If we don't do something fast Zuko's gonna have us cornered and we'll never get Jay to the hospital!"

Kai was right, Zuko wont rest until were dead, and if we can't get away our efforts to rescue Jay will be for nothing. I know i'm supposed to do, I don't like it, but if we have to save Jay then so be it.

"Guys," I spoke up. "I know what we have to do, one of us has to stay behind and stall Zuko so the rest of us can escape and get Jay to the hospital. I'll be the one to do it.", I said that last part while letting my eyes fall to the floor.

"What!?", Everyone shouted shock.

"Cole, are you crazy!? You were almost killed last time we let you do this!, Kai protested.

"Kai, I know what happened the last time, but this time we don't have a choice. Besides, it's me he wants, the rest of you have to help Jay.", I argued back.

"Cole, the last time you faced Zuko you nearly died, we were all very worried. None of us want that to happen again. I will be the one to stay.", Zane intervened.

That ended up starting a huge argument over who should stay to fend off Zuko and why. At one point Nya tried to stop the fighting by saying she'd stay behind, but then Kai got angry and this just started another argument altogether. This seemed to go on for a while until Jay finally spoke up.

"Uh, guys?"

"WHAT!?, we all shouted while turning towards him.

Jay shakily pointed behind us, and we all saw Zuko standing right there. We all quickly got up, grabbed Jay, and started to run, but we ran into a dead end. It turns out we were resting in an ally, and this time there was nowhere to run and nowhere to hide. Zuko was slowly closing in.

"This time I will have my revenge, even in spite of you and your friends meddling!", Zuko snarled with pure hatred in his voice.

We all backed up against the wall, I heard Jay weakly mutter something about how we were gonna die, the way things look right now I think we are gonna die. We all stood there hugging each other, only a miracle can save us now.

Just when it looked like Zuko was about to pounce, we were suddenly bathed in a white light. It took me a minute to realize they were headlights from cars. I heard a voice say, "There they are!" I saw men get out of the cars and saw that they were holding what looked like dart guns wearing police uniforms!? Wait a minute, what are the cops doing here!? How did they even know we were here!? What the heck is going on!?

Zuko started to growl in frustration, and he lunged at one of the guards. That's when the police started to open fire. Zuko managed to dodge most of the darts, he also managed to successfully tear off an officers arms, while mutilating another one. All of us just stood there in shock over what was happening. After Zuko managed to get hit with about ten darts, he finally collapsed and passed out.

The remaining officers tied both Zuko's back and front legs together, while putting a strong muzzle on him in case he woke up. They were also able to call an ambulance and send Jay to the hospital, Zuko was thrown in the back of a scientists van, and was sent to some kind of research lab for experiments.

"Are you and your friends alright?", One of the officers asked me.

"Were fine, but how did you know to come looking for us?" I asked, confused.

"We called them.", I heard a familiar voice say.

We all turned and saw Sensei Wu, Misako, Lloyd, and Garmadon standing a few feet away.

"How did you know we needed help?", Kai asked, dumbfounded.

"We didn't, Lloyd did.", Misako said simply while glancing at her son.

Lloyd glanced at the floor, looking nervous.

"But how-"

"Let Lloyd explain.", Garmadon interrupted.

So, Lloyd told us about how he saw Zuko the night Jay was captured, and how Zuko threatened him if he told any of us what happened.

"Zane's falcon saw you guys being chased by Zuko, I saw it in the control room, I had to tell sensei what happened.", Lloyd said, sounding guilty.

"After Lloyd told us what happened Dr. Julien called the police, and the rest of us went out to see what we could do.", Sensei explained.

Well, that explains what happened. I don't blame Lloyd though, I was scared out of my wits the first time I saw Zuko.

"I'm really sorry I didn't tell any of you.", Lloyd told us, sounding ashamed.

"It's okay Lloyd, we understand.", Kai assured him.

"Yeah, I used to be scared of Zuko too.", I informed him.

"We do not blame you, your still young."

"Thanks, you guys.", Lloyd said with a smile.

"Now that we have Zuko taken care of, I think we'd better go see how Jay's doing in the hospital.", Kai reminded us.

Wow, I bet you didn't think all this was gonna happen did you? The next chapter is gonna be really short though, but hopefully it's fine :/ Remember to R and R everybody ;)
