Jay walked away from the bounty, he didn't run as there was no point and he didn't want to waste his energy. He was fighting a mixture of emotions as his brain tried to figure out what had just happened.
There was no need for Nya to shout at him and then Kai...Kai called him a weirdo with a look of hatred and distrust in his eyes that just simply said get away from her or I'll kill you.
He didn't know what to do, he felt alone and dangerous...that's it!
He was dangerous to be around he thought.
He didn't want to leave the Bounty unless he had to and he sure as hell didn't want to move back in with his parents at the junk yard, he'd had enough of the Sea of Sand being that he'd grown up there, he didn't relish the thought of going back unless it was to see his parents.
As he walked, he had his head down. He was looking intently at his phone as he followed directions, he systematically kept checking for messages from the Bounty, he sighed when he found none then quickly returned the phone back to the navigation function before he got lost.
He wasn't far from the facility according to the map; it was within 500 feet of his current position.
Jay wandered around the outskirts of New Ninjago city the area he was in was almost deserted, there was hardly anyone around.
Casually he kept looking looking down at his phone as it directed him left and right, looking for this supposed facility he was due to attend. He was running out of ideas until he stumbled upon a small looking warehouse with a odd looking brick building attached to its side.
It was exactly as the doctor had described it as being in the middle of nowhere but close enough to the city. Although he frowned at the 'state of the art' comment the doctor has also mentioned.
Jay shuddered when he looked at the building hoping it wasn't the one that he needed. He approached it with caution and at the same time saw 2 figures walking towards it.
"Err hi, excuse me...I'm err looking for this address, do ya know where it is" Jay asked as he showed one of the hooded figures the address he had been given.
"It'sss right there" As the hooded figure pointed to the small dilapidated warehouse.
"Thanks" Jay mumbled as he approached the building, good timing...Jay...5 minutes early he thought as he checked his watch.
Wow the doctor couldn't have afforded a better facility huh? Jay thought, "hope it's better on the inside" he said out loud to himself.
Meanwhile in the city Cole, Kai and Lloyd were following the Bounty's remote navigational system, this was guiding them to the address of the facility where Jay should be. The three ninja were 20 minutes away from the actual destination so Cole had decided it would be a good idea to do some exercise such as running, for the remainder, begrudgingly, they followed suit.
The master of lightning had walked through the electric doors of the brick building and stated his name to the receptionist who promptly gave him a questionnaire and disclaimer to complete.
Once he had finished he handed it back and waited. 10 minutes had passed before Dr Raa appeared from one of the side doors and motioned Jay to follow him through to the examination room.
Jay followed and promptly jumped onto the examination bed so the doctor could begin, he started by doing a thorough examination of his breathing sounds and heart rate. Dr Raa checked his blood pressure, and thien connected the Echo cardio gram or ECG machine for five minutes to trace heart sounds and strength of each heart chamber and relevant arteries.
"How long is this going to take?" Jay asked feeling slightly frustrated like he had been there for hours.
"It will take as long as we need it to" The doctor answered without eye contact.
"Who's we?" Jay asked incredulously, "As far as I was concerned this was a quick check-up not a full on examination" he finished, getting noticeably annoyed by the doctor who was prodding and poking him for no apparent reason.
The doctor then looked up at Jay and stared into his grey eyes, he swallowed and pulled back away from the doctors face as he felt the doctor's eyes boring into his soul, the doctor stood and approached Jay; standing within a few inches of him and hissed "follow me".
Jay was sure that this was supposed to be a pleasant experience or so he thought...He looked at the doctor for reassurance and then saw something in those eyes that looked evil, he felt a sense of foreboding and wanted to leave the facility and never come back.
But being the good patient he dutifully followed the doctor through to the other room and sat on the chair solemnly. He looked around hopefully to see other patients but none could be found...odd he thought.
The doctor pulled a chair out and said none too politely "Sit" his professional demeanor slipping somewhat. The doctor put a tight tourniquet around Jay's lean defined upper arm and proceeded to take numerous vacutainers of blood from him, the majority were large and some very small.
"Sheesh h….how many do ya need to t….take doc, leave some for m…me hey!" Jay had lost count of how many the doctor was taking, the last count being about 12 and he was beginning to feel sick.
"I'm sorry Mr Walker just 1 more, we need plenty of this as it could provide an answer to your miraculous recovery and help other individuals in need". The doctor knew what he was doing he had studied the human body in intricate detail in particular blood letting and what pain the body can endure.
"F…..fine….j…just get on with it" Jay spat, he was beginning to shiver and could feel his colour leaving his face. He began to feel like he'd donated blood, when in fact he had actually lost almost 1 litre in those few short minutes he was sitting there.
The doctor removed the tourniquet then turned away and went to the opposite side of the room with his back to Jay he opened a cupboard and retrieved a glass bottle and cloth.
"Can I go now Doc?,this is getting ridiculous" Jay whined as he rolled his eyes looking at his watch.
The doctor did not answer his question but looked to his side at the door where 2 male nurses were about to enter, he slowly nodded to them to allow them to come in. They immediately walked over to Jay and grabbed his arms before he could attempt to escape.
"HEY WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS" Jay hissed, wriggling in their tight grip, "LET...GO...OF...ME" he shouted in sheer frustration at being unnecessarily restrained, considering he was doing nothing wrong.
Wow they're strong...different tactic me thinks! but I wonder if they can do spinjitzu, he thought.
He attempted to stand and get into his fighting stance by lurching himself forwards, his plan was to get out of their vice like grip until of course...he was forcibly yanked back into his chair quite viciously by the two nurses. Jay looked scared, he had tried to use his element to protect himself but nothing happened….
Odd he thought surely this place can't be made of vengestone.
"Hey, g-go...e...easy...guys...I'm a paying patient ya know" Jay said as he tried to put on a brave face as his head began swaying.
"Well, Mr JAY Walker...or the blue ninja as you're otherwise known...this isn't a medical facility...no, no, no we do much more than medical research here" he laughed as he looked at the restrained blue ninja and registered the look of shock on his face as he took in everything the doctor was saying.
"Vengestone walls...yessss I did my research...have I got your attention now...Jay?"
Jay looked angry "This was a setup, you...you planned this from the day I left the hospital!" He struggled again with the two nurses holding him still.
"What do you want with me?, gahh GET OFF MY ARMS" Jay roared, "If this is a ruse to get me to talk then I wont tell you anything!" Trying his luck at what remaining fight he still had despite his current situation, he had to, he had no choice.
"We don't want you to talk, we want you to shut up" the doctor replied sarcastically "and we want to take your power, you don't need it...really"".
"W-what?...y-you can't" he shook his head as he spoke, visibly trembling at what he was hearing "you won't get away with this...m-my brothers will find you and kick your asses into next year" he said only half believing it.
He suddenly remembered what transpired on the Bounty less than an hour ago... oh crap...my tracker device...it's on my bed...they don't even know I'm here...I'm screwed he thought.
Jay attempted to stand again and tried to headbutt one of the 2 nurses holding him but this didn't go as planned, the male nurses yanked him back harshly and then took it in turns to punch him in his abdomen. It worked, it subdued him effectively.
It was safe to say that Jay was not expecting that, as all his breath came whistling out from between his teeth, he grunted harshly and squeezed his eyes shut tightly, he tried to concentrate on his breathing although the pain made it hard. The assault had left him in a crouched position on his chair to protect his stomach from further blows.
C-come on Jay c-compose yourself, we gotta get out of here he thought as pain wracked his stomach.
He looked up with pleading eyes at the doctor he had trusted with his life, the doctor however showed no remorse as he approached him with the chloroform infused cloth. "I...I trusted y-you" he wheezed painfully, the pain still there from being winded brutally.
The doctor unperturbed, slapped him across his face, it startled the blue ninja and his eyes shot upwards.
"You are foolish...ninja of lightning" he hissed.
"Y….you're snakes?", Jay shouted as he realised, "it was your kind that shot me, y-you did this to me...b-but why?" he asked as he spat out some blood that had pooled in his mouth, he couldn't wipe his mouth with his hand so had to rely on his shoulder.
"Seriously if you let me go now, we'll go easy on you" Jay stated as his solid determination still came through.
He had been stuck in this room for over 30 minutes now but he couldn't move, he was being held down but two male nurses who seemed to have amazing strength and an aptitude for being brutal.
At one stage one of them had pulled Jay's head up by his hair so hard, it felt like he'd been scalped...of course he hadn't though, He knew they were trying to get into his head, mind games or something and they were succeeding at it, he was almost broken.
Jay was paralyzed with fear, he felt dizzy, hungry as he's missed lunch and in pain both physically and mentally...
I am useless, I can't even do this right he thought.
He hoped with all of his heart that his brothers would be looking for him and would come to his rescue before anything else could happen that is until the doctor stood in front of him, a cloth in one hand and a large needle in the other.
The 2 nurses still had a hold on his arms which were starting to feel numb because of the pressure of holding him down and his constant attempts at escape.
"Jay, this needle contains a general anaesthetic….it isss a synthetic ssssubstance that will keep you sedated for well….about 30 minutes or so, after that…well lets just sssay you'll beg for the end" The doctor sneered at Jay and watched as the blue ninja stared in fear at the needle and what he'd just heard.
Oh god, come on guys I really need you Jay thought as he eyed the big needle approaching him.
The doctor lowered himself in front of Jay and gave the needle to the nurse to administer who roughly punctured Jay's right arm with it. Jay winced and tried to pull away as he began to feel a stinging sensation.
Time was not on the doctors side as he figured people would come looking for Jay soon, so he delivered a final blow to the blue ninja's jaw before putting the chloroform infused cloth over his mouth and nose until he went completely limp.
The doctor promptly left the room and cleaned himself up, he removed his prosthetic mask and contact lenses, both items were disposed of it in the incinerator, the prosthetic mask and lenses did an amazing job of hiding his snakelike features. When he had finished hiding his alter ego he called Pythor and Skales to notify them that Jay was ready for the machine.
"I've prepped him for the machine general, he's sedated so he'll be easier to manouvre and the anaesthetic I've given should last at least an hour."
"Good, good...yesss thank you Slithraa, we'll be there in 5 minutes".
10 minutes later the three ninja had finally made it to the facility but they were all out of breath as they had been running non stop.
"Yknow... it...would... have... been...a...lot...quicker...if...we'd...used...the...tracking...devices" Lloyd stated as he panted out of breath.
"Hey...green...machine...we're...not...on...patrol...though" Kai replied as he panted harshly bending down to fill his lungs with oxygen and soothe the lactic acid burn in his muscles.
"Well...I brought mine with me" Cole stated as he composed himself, "me...too" said Lloyd wiping his brow free of sweat as he leaned on the Elemental master of fire.
"Actually" Cole stated "it would have been quicker on our elemental dragons", "whose bright idea was it to run anyway?" Cole asked.
"Yours" both Lloyd and Kai replied.
"Oh yeah...sorry hehe" Cole laughed and shrugged his shoulders, he didn't care...he wasn't out of breath at all.
"Is this the place then?...doesn't look much like a 'state of the art' facility to me!" Cole asked looking astounded at the dilapidated building in front of him.
"Let's go and find out" said Lloyd.
The 3 ninja walked into the facility which looked better on the inside, they slowly shuffled one by one into the empty waiting room whilst Kai walked up to the reception desk and got the attention of the receptionist.
"Hi…..hang on…whew" as Kai regained his composure, "we're here to pick up a Mr Walker" he had an appointment about 25 minutes ago".
"Let me just check our records" the receptionist nervously stated whilst adjusting her glasses. "Please take a seat, I'm sure Mr Walker will be finished soon".
Kai joined Cole and Lloyd on the sofas as they watched the tv in the room, they had been sat for a while waiting patiently for 30 minutes,until Cole realised that in total Jay had been here for over an hour already and this was only supposed to be a checkup. Cole frowned and stood up, he approached the desk again and rang the bell, Kai and Lloyd were completely relaxed wondering what had gotten into the earth master. "Well...where is Jay Walker? And why is this taking so long" Cole shouted as his eyes were burning into the back of the receptionists head.
"I'll err go and check for you", she squeaked and walked off closing the door securely behind her with a loud click.
"I need some fresh air" Lloyd sighed "this place is boring and the smell of paint is giving me a headache".
He got up to leave the room but found the door locked, "errr guys….somethings not quite right here!" he stated as he tried again to open the door.
"Well it looks like we're locked in" Kai stated in shock, he tried to use his element to melt the lock to no avail. "Wait...what! Why can't I use my element, what is going on here" Kai looked at Cole puzzled.
"Vengestone" Lloyd stated as he looked at the newly painted walls "this is no facility….this was planned...oh my god it was a setup" He sat with his head in his hands unsure what to do.
"J...Jay, what have you done to Jay?" Kai shouted as he banged repeatedly on the walls.
"WHAT! WHAT THE HELL, WHERE'S JAY? LET US OUTTA HERE" Cole shouted as he beat his fists on the doors of the facility.
Unbeknownst to the ninja at that time was the appearance of a noxious gas cloud coming from under the doors. The ninja all sat down in defeat but didn't realise until it was too late. The same gas used by dentists to sedate patients was being used on the ninja as they stood and hammered on the walls with their fists.
"I...er dont feel so good" Kai stated as he stumbled and fell to his knees "Kai!", Cole quickly rushed to his side to catch him before he hit the floor "Kai what's wrong?", "I think they are trying to sedate us" Kai said as his eyes closed. Cole looked for Lloyd who was slumped against a chair...a soft landing at least Cole thought before he too lost consciousness.
This was my first fanfic, I'm still going back through it and cringing at the grammar and punctuation hehe
