"Guys!" Nya called from the computer room."Come see this!"

Zane, Tylor, Stan, June, Dash and Ali rushed into the room. A bright red dot flickered on the screen.

"Elemental power," Ali gasped.

"It's not any of the ones I know though," Ali said. "Not Kai, Lloyd, Cole or Jay."

"Than what is it?" Tylor asked.

"The computer says it's magic, but the scanner says it's elemental power," Nya sighed. "I am so confused."

"Ali, what do you think?" Tylor asked.

"I know an element that was know as magic before. Light magic. Now, it's known as the element of healing."

"Really?" Stan said, surprised.

"Wait, wouldn't that mean someone's hurt?" Dash asked, showing worry.

Then everyone else realized she was right. For the element of healing to be used, someone had to be hurt. Physically hurt. Was one of the other ninja hurt? Was someone in trouble? Or worse. Dead?

"Does anyone know who the master of healing is?" Stan asked, breaking the silence in the room.

"Then scanner only picks up power, it doesn't know unregistered masters," Nya sighed.

"I thought that element was gone," Ali whispered. "The last master to control it died. It's said that when a master dies with no relatives, the element is lost in time."

"Or finds a new master with similar traits," Zane corrected her.

"I forgot about that part," Ali mentally facepalmed.

"Who was the previous master?" Dash asked.

"It was a lady," Ali started. "Short, platinum blonde hair. She was married to a friendly man, who loved technology. Then, when she tried to help in the serpentine wars, she was hit, a sword went straight through her chest and she died. After that, no one saw the husband for years."

"Do you remember her name?" Nya asked.

"Malory," Ali said.

"Last name?" Nya asked.

"Telen," Ali said.

Nya typed it into the computer. Then sighed.

"If she was married, she must be in under the other name," June said, seeing no results on the screen.

"I don't know her married last name," Ali sighed. "I was never told."

"Guess we'll look up Malory and see if anything stands out," Nya sighed.

She entered Malory and saw only five names appeared.

"Wow," Tylor said. "There aren't too many Malorys in Ninjas history."

Ali shook her head.

"Not the first, second or fifth," she said. "They were all born this year."

Nya clicked a small 'x' beside the name. They were left with two.

"Is there anyway to tell if they aren't alive?" Stan asked.

"Yeah," Nya said.

She went to a filter and clicked on 'deceased' and then only one name remained. Nya clicked on it, getting a full name.

"That's her," Ali said.

Zane eyes widened. The last name, he couldn't believe it. Nya turned to him, shocked and confused.

Lloyd woke, pain flooding through his body. He moaned, looked around in the dark space he was locked in. It couldn't see much. The faint outlines of things was the most he could see. He looked for a door, a way out, but couldn't see one in the darkness.

"Hello?" he called, hoping someone would hear him.

Then the panicked struck. Where was Kai?

"Lloyd?" a voice said softly.

Lloyd jumped. A ray of light shined into the room as someone walked in to join him. He knew it wasn't Kai.

"What did you do with Kai?" Lloyd nearly shouted.

"Kai is was the captain, locked in his dorm," she sighed. "I was told to take care of you."

"You aren't killing me, right?" Lloyd asked.

"No," Mai said.

Lloyd relaxed a slight bit, still worried about Kai. Then he remembered Mai helping them. He looked up at her as she lit a later and moved to sit beside him.

"Why?" Lloyd asked.

"Why what?" Mai replied, confused.

"Why did you help us in the forest?" he asked.

Mai sighed, turning away.

"You were tricking us," Lloyd muttered. "I thought so."

"It's not that," Mai whispered.

Lloyd looked up, seeing her eyes shimmering in the darkness. They shone a bright light blue with shimmers of white and gold hidden in them. Mai blushed, turning away again.

"I….." Mai stopped, feeling a hand on her shoulder.

She looked, seeing Lloyd's hand on her shoulder. The chains on his wrists falling down her back. Lloyd waited for Mai to continue in the silence.

"I was protecting you," Mai mumbled.

"Why?" Lloyd asked.

"For…" Mai went silent again. "For my brother."

"Who's your brother?" Lloyd asked.

"It's kind of complicated," Mai said.

"Take all the time you need," Lloyd told her. "I don't think I'm going anywhere soon."

Mai chuckled, hearing humor in Lloyd's voice.

"Alright," she sighed. "Truth be told, I haven't spoken to my brother since our father passed."

"So you aren't related to Cole or Jay," Lloyd said, crossing both off. "They both still have a father in their families."

"No, it's not either of them," Mai shook her head. "We lost our mother only a few years before I joined him."

"Wait," Lloyd said. "Are you adopted?"

"No," Mai said. Then she thought about it. "Well, if you look at it that way, you could say that."

"We're getting off topic," Lloyd said.

"Right," Mai said.

"Can you just give me a name?" Lloyd asked.

"Yeah," Mai replied.

As Mai was about to tell him when the ship shook violently and slanted left. Mai toppled onto Lloyd, both her and Lloyd blushing hard. She pushed off him, sitting up as the boat leveled off.

"I should go see what that was and if they need any help," Mai said, getting up.

She walked to the door, leaving Lloyd startled and confused. Then he realized that she didn't answer the question.

"Mai! Wait!" he cried after her.

But then he realized it was too late. The door was closed and she had left. He was alone yet again. Alone to his thoughts and the question of who Mai's brother was.

"She's made it clear it's her brother," Lloyd told himself, thinking about it. "Not me, nor Jay or Cole. Maybe it's Kai? That might be why she healed him."

Then her words rang in his head. We lost our mother only a few months before I joined him. They weren't biological siblings. Then, the more Lloyd thought about it, the more he noticed how everything pointed towards the one ninja he never thought would have a sister. The shock to him was unbelievable.

"She can't," he mumbled. "Can she?"

Kai pulled on the chains he was stuck in, panic rushing through him. The ship had just lurched nearly 45 degrees to the left. He had watched a wave of water nearly sweep a couple pirates into the sea. Almost as quickly as it happened, it returned to normal. Kai watched Jay run out onto the deck, shocked and confused. He called to his crew members, talking with them. Kai watched as Jay spoke with different crew members. After a couple minutes, Jay walked into his quarters, Kai watching his every step.

'What the heck was that?!' Kai wanted to shout.

He made muffled cries, the gag around his mouth stopping him from asking Jay what had happened. Jay groaned, ignoring Kai the best he could. When Kai refused to stop, Jay sent a bolt of lightning his way, hitting the wall next to Kai's head.

"Would you shut up already!" Jay shouted.

"Captain," a voice said.

Jay turned to the door leading below deck in his quarters.

"Yes, what is it?" Jay said.

Kai was unable to see who was talking, but it sounded a lot like Mai. Kai wished to see a friendly face again, just once more. He might also be able to get something to help with the major amount of pain his his shoulder from the arrow. The wound hadn't been bleeding, but was still there and causing pain and misery for the red ninja.

"Do you know what happened?" she asked.

"I'm going below deck to check," Jay said. "Ask Roy and Alex to join me, would you? And then deal with Kai over there. He hasn't eaten since we got him and Lloyd yesterday."

Jay walked out the door, but no one came in to take his place. Kai was left in silence for the moment. He hated being chained. The way it was set up was so he could only reach in front of him, not behind to remove the gag. The chains were attached between the wall and the floor and only allowed him to reach up to his waist from the length of them. About five minutes later, the door opened and Mai walked in. She rushed to his side, worry across her face.

"Are you alright?" she asked.

She pulled Kai's gag off. He took in a deep breath of air, relaxing a slight bit.

"Stiff, sore and starving," Kai said. Then added sarcastically, "Just great."

Mai chuckled.

"Is your shoulder alright?" Mai asked.

"It hurt like crazy," Kai said. "And it drives me insane."

Mai pushed off the floor, walking over to a white box on a desk. She opened it and pulled out some disinfectant, a roll of bandages and a pair of scissors. The walked back over to Kai, setting them down near him. She then grabbed a cloth from the sink in Jay's room, soaked it and brought it over too. She picked up the scissors and cut away what was left of Kai's gi on his shoulders.

"Sorry about your uniform," Mai said.

"It's old anyways," Kai sighed. "Plus I've got plenty more at home."

Mai smiled a slight bit. She removed Kai's top, averting her eyes and blushing brightly at his muscular figure. She quickly picked up the cloth, gently dabbing it around the wound to clean around it.

"Where's Lloyd?" Kai asked.

Mai hesitated, causing Kai to worry. Then Mai continued to work.

"He's below deck," Mai said quietly. "He's locked in a room, alone in the dark. Jay's put me in charge of caring for you until your shoulder heals. He's free game, though. And it worries me."

"Why?" Kai asked.

"Because anyone on this ship can hurt him," Mai said. She stopped, looking at Kai. "Anyone."
