"Restrain him now!" Carter shouted through intercom. He'd been testing the chip, but the after effects have been violent. Three men had been escorted out of the room with minor injuries, specifically from Baker, the test.

Two more guards rushed into the room and instantly lunged for Baker's arms."LET ME GO!" Baker ripped his arms away and landed a kick in the guards gut.

Carter looked at the projector screen,"Low the control to ten percent. If this doesn't knock him out, I'll deal with him myself."

"Yes sir. Lowering all control, subject will have most control of his body." Carter carefully examined Baker, he didn't seem to change from his angered state."Sir we are detecting a malfunction in the subjects chip. Rebooting the system is highly suggested."

"We are have no idea what will happen if we reboot the chip. It's best to lower the control. For all we know if we rebooted it, brain cells could die."

"Yes sir."

"BAKER PLEASE! We are not going to hurt you, please stand down and allow the doctors to do their work!" Carter watched impatiently as his request was ignored. He grabbed the microphone and leaned closely to it."I am giving you once last chance to follow orders soldier."

Baker screamed in pain when he was slammed down onto the table, four sets of hands held him down as another person took brown leather straps, which were attached to the table, and buckled them around his wrists and ankles. A large one went over his waist for safety.

"Let me out!" Baker shouted once more, using all of his strength to pull on the restraints.

Carter took an annoyed deep breath."Baker, we are not trying to hurt you. Please just cooperate with us." The soldier had now stopped fighting, and the only noise was that of heavy breathing.

His eyes closed and he breathed slowly.

Carter nodded."Thank you." He shut off the intercom and looked to his assistants."I think he's been through enough, he needs a break."

"But sir, the chip, it cannot work properly without the syrum, which has a twelve hour wait for it to kick in."

"I never said lets get him out. Just let him for a bit, his efforts in fighting with the guards took most of his energy. After we will give him the syrum and see if that fixes the malfunction."

"Yes sir." He turned on the intercom."Are orders are to let the subject rest. We will return work in a few, guards please stand by incase of emergency."

Jay found himself looking through one of the sky walk windows. He'd been released to get his blood pumping. His medication dose was a larger amount this time, to speed up the healing process. He also now was supported by brace around his stomach and he was given his crutches back.

In all honesty Jay thought he deserved some of the beatings he received from Kai, but when Kai sent him through the window, that was too much. Jay knows he'll get revenge on Kai, but when is still unknown.

"Jay?" A familiar voice asked from down the hall. Jay slowly turned to see Lloyd coming towards him, but Lloyd slowed when he saw the bruises on Jay's face."I guess we can agree that Kai literally tried to kill you..."

Jay shook his head and returned his focus on the snow, it had been falling all day."I could say the same for you, looks like you got into trouble."

Lloyd frowned at the comment. He lightlt touched his cheek and flinched."I tried to help Zane..."

"What happened?"

"To make things short, Martin has Zane, Griffin, and Ash."

Jay's heart pounded. What about Nya? He hadn't heard anything at all."And Nya?"

Lloyd smiled."For all we know she made it out safe, but right now I'm worried about those three. Who knows what will happen to them, Martin could-"

"Don't say it." Jay interrupted quickly."Just don't. The more negative thoughts we think, the more we panic and forget the important goal ahead."

"Sorry." Lloyd shrugged."I've been taking a lot of pressure lately. I feel as if I'm baby sitting everyone, especially Kai."

"Understandable, but you need to focus and just block out all the drama, we can't risk loosing you green machine." Jay hummed quietly as a sharp pain hit him.

Lloyd looked out the window, it looked so peaceful, so relaxing."Maybe your right, maybe I just need to clean my mind and focus on getting out of this place. Thanks Jay."

"No need for thanks, just passing down the knowlegde I have gained from my past and giving it to the master in training." Jay grinned at his friend, who returned the smile.

Lloyd glanced at the clock."Well unfortunately I gotta go to my checkup, I'll see you later." He waved to Jay as he jogged down the hall.

"Kai, whats the deal?" Kirby approached his companion along with Ramsey. The young master of fire had been sitting in the same spot all day, hasn't even attempted to eat.

Ramsey asked the same question, just with a little more compassion. His was that type of persom who cared for everyone no matter who they are. Kirby on the other hand, he's bold and daring, doesn't really care for others the way Ramsey does.

Ramsey pulled his foot up on the bench Kai was sitting on."C'mon we are being sent out in a few weeks, we can't miss any training."

Kai looked up with a blank expression." Where?" His eyes had bags under them, looked like he hadn't slept the night before.

"To the camp. It's closer to Ninjagk City, it'll be easier to get vehicles there quicker." Kirby crossed his arms."You will be put on high watch though, knowing your intentions."

Kai frowned."Even if I tried, I wouldn't get anywhere. Why are we being sent there?"

Both men exchanged looks."Haven't you been told? In just a few weeks we will be doing an assult on the western side of the city."

"What? An assult? I thought..." Kai trained off and stared at the floor.

"Kai?"

"Move." Kai stood up and violently shoved the two away.

"Hey! Where the hell are you going?!"

Kai glared over his shoulder."To talk with Martin!"

"Sir, no answers have been recieved from the Nindroid nor Griffin." Carter stood up straight as he companion did, Mence."Ash has been held all day, we can't break them."

"And why is that?" Martin's voice seemed calm and relaxed, but behind all that was anger.

Mence cleared his throat."They are men of loyalty sir. Even if-"

Martin spun around, his yellow eyes stared into Mence's."Even if what?!"

Both soldiers tensed up, fearing a punishment."We've tried everything, even tried to hack into the Nindroid's servers. We were unsuccessful."

Martin glared at him, but he quickly calmed down and pushed all his anger aside. He straighten himself up and looked by at his two men."I have lost patience in most of the elemental masters."

"We could try the chip." Mence stated looking at Carter.

He raised an eyebrow." No, it's highly dangerous, we have men in the infirmary now because we couldn't control Baker."

"Why's that?" Martin asked looking out his window once more.

"Malfunction, we have allowed Baker to get some rest, in an hour or so we will give him the syrum for the chip. I don't think it's excatly ready for our use."

Martin was silent for a few minutes, worrying both of them. This usually happened when he was thinking of a punishment for them, the last one was spending a night in the snow with nothing but your boots and undergarments and a tent with a lantern.

"Sir? Is there a problem?" Carter asked glancing nervously at Mence who returned the look of fear.

After a few minutes passed, Martin slowly turned around with a smile on his face."No Carter, there is no problem. Mence get the surgeons ready along with the forger."

Without hesitation, the soldier nodded and left faster than you can blink. This left Carter, swaying in his place, his face held a frown.

"Sir. You're gonna give the chip to them?" He looked concerned not only for his safety, but the three as well.

Martin shook his head."The chip acts differently with each mind, but the control process will be the same. Ash will only be recieving the chip, I have a different punishment for Griffin."

"What about the Nindroid?"

Martin grinned."Get me Ronin."
