Kai's P.O.V.

I ran through the halls in search for Garmadon, but was having no luck. I ran around a corner and saw Garmadon chained to a wall. I ran to him and started melting off the chains.

"Kai?" he whispered to me.

"Hang on, I almost have them," I said.

I finally melted the chains and helped Garmadon up.

"Quick, we need to…" I started.

"We don't have enough time," Garmadon said.

I felt the ground shaking, and I quickly put up my elemental shield, protecting me and Garmadon. The temple collapsed on top of us, surely everyone would think we're dead. I used all my energy to hold my shield up and stop everything from caving in on us.

"Kai, you're going to hurt yourself," Garmadon told me.

"If I stop, we'll die," I said, "I have to."

My eyes were closed in concentration, but I could tell Garmadon was shocked by his silence. I struggled to keep it open when I felt someone touch me hand. My energy level rises and I opened my eyes. Garmadon was helping me, but he was slowly lifting the two of us up, out of the rubble. Once out, the shield disappeared and we fell on the ground.

"Kai," Garmadon said.

I slowly stood up and looked at him. I noticed we were on a small island a short distance from Chen's.

"Thanks, but why?" he asked.

"Because you're important to Lloyd," I said, " and, you're important to me."

"What do you mean?" he asked.

"I've always seen you as a second father for me, same with Wu, but Lloyd is my best friend and whoever is important to him is important to me," I smiled.

"Thanks Kai," he said.

"Shall we go find the others," he asked.

I nodded and tried to summon my dragon.

"Kai, what's wrong?"

"I..I...I can't do it," I said.

"What do you mean?" Garmadon asked.

"I can't use my powers," I said.

"Your shield must have drained all your powers," Garmadon explained. "We'll just have to wait until you have enough energy."

I sighed. I hate waiting but I guess I have no other choice this time.

Lloyd's P.O.V.

We landed outside the Samurai X Cave and Cole lead me inside. I couldn't stop crying. I felt arms wrap around me and I saw my mom's bright eyes looking into mine.

"What happened?" Sensei asked.

"Kai and Sensei Garmadon are…...gone," Cole said.

"What!" Sensei yelled.

"The temple collapsed and the island exploded," Zane said.

Sensei turned to me and hugged me, "I'm so sorry, my nephew," he whispered in my ear.

"L-L-Let's m-m-m-make th-th-them p-p-proud a-a-and s-st-stop Chen," I said, trying to calm myself.

"Lloyd's right, we should stop Chen and make it so our brother and Sensei's deaths are taken lightly by Chen," Cole said.

"Let's go, the other masters are waiting," Zane said.

Jay placed a hand on my shoulder, and looked at me.

"You coming buddy," he asked.

I nodded and followed the others out of our base.

Jay's P.O.V.

I hated seeing the kid like this. He's lost both his father and his best friend now. Forever. I'll still be there for him though, and so will the others. I just worry that the loss of Kai and Garmadon may change him. He's always had that vibe that triggers my nerves and worries me. I feel like he may turn on us someday.

"Jay, this is the quietest you've been," Cole said, "like ever."

"I just got a lot going through my mind," I sighed.

"Ok, I was just worried about you," Cole said.

I smiled. At least, I know that there's some people I can trust.

We walked into a small white house in Metallonia.

"Ninja here," Karlof cried.

Skylor came over to us and gave Lloyd and hug.

"I'm so sorry," I heard her whisper into his ear.

I guess he's fine for now. I turned and walked over to Neuro.

"Hey, hows things," he asked.

"Ok, I guess," I sighed. "Things are so different without Kai."

"You'll pull through, I know you can," Neuro told me.

"I just don't know about Lloyd though," I told him. We were in a different room away from everyone now, in private.

"What do you mean," Neuro said.

"Kai was Lloyd's inspiration, his idol," I explained, "the only reason he became the green ninja is because of Kai."

"I see, and you're worried that he may change sides," Neuro said.

"A slight bit," I sighed.

"Everything will be fine, I'm sure," Neuro said with confidence.

I hope he's right.

Kai's P.O.V.

I sat on the sandy beach, awaiting Garmadon's return. He left about half an hour ago to find some food. I was growing bored. The sand played between my fingers and toes. My suit had small rips and tears in it around my wrists from all the chains I found myself in. All the event running through my head from the past few days. Especially the one about Lloyd, how he turned on me to join Chen. How could he do that to me? Why would he even consider doing it? I hear footsteps behind me and I turned around and saw Garmadon behind me, holding some berries in a empty coconut shell.

"Here, eat," he said.

I gladly took the berries and started munching on them.

"What are we going to do?" I asked.

"We wait until your powers are strong enough to get us back to Ninjago," Garmadon said.

"I've rested a while, I think I can do it," I said.

"Try," is all he said.

I stood up, knocking the berries on the ground and summoned my dragon.

"Great job Kai, now we can get home," Garmadon cheered.

I smiled as he climbed on. I'm coming guys.

I had some of you going with it. I'm sorry I haven't updated, I'm trying my hardest and I'll get some more updating done over March Break. Just watch and rememeber to review.
