-Chapter 14: The Unknown-

Karina: Oh god I just realized something…

Cole: What?

Karina: Ninjas nor Samurai's specialize in bows.

Janet: So?

Karina: No one is there to teach Hanna .-. I mean, Cole can teach Rosetta, Jay with Janet, Christy and Kai and Nya already knows how….

Claudia: Dude. I know how to use a bow. Even you know how to use a bow genius!

Karina: We're not in season 1…

Claudia: Oh. Welp fu**

Anissa: 0-o

Claudia: What the f*** is she doing here?
Karina: Nothing…. Anyways, So Hanna either has to teach herself or we need to make Dareth a really good archer :/

Hanna: That's… That's not good.

Claudia: SOOOOO THIS CHAPTER I'LL ACTUALLY BE DOING WORK SO EXPECT A LOT OF FIXED GRAMMAR MISTAKES THAT YOU'VE FOUND IN THE LAST 13 CHAPTERS!

Karina: CHEER FOR CLAUDIA!

"Woah..." Janet gasped as she woke up. During the night, Hanna worked hard to fix up their bedroom.

The room walls were painted white, with a stone accent wall. There were five rich mahogany rectangles carved into the white wall with a black carpet on the floor.

"Wow" Christy whistled. Janet looked around for her sister who was lying on one of the mattresses, sleeping soundly.

"How long did it take for her to do this? And where are the beds?" Rosetta asked, awed. Christy looked at the rectangles in curiosity and walked over. Tracing her hand over the wood, she found a wool handle at the side. Pulling it down, the rectangles revealed to be beds.

"Cool!" She remarked.

"Now that's space saving!" Janet grinned, proud of her sister who was still snoring. Suddenly, The bounty crashed, making everyone topple over.

"What happened?" Hanna asked drowsily, rubbing her eyes. Everyone but Kai rushed to the deck.

"Huh?" Nya drawled. Bags still under her eyes.

"My sensors indicate that we are in the middle of the sea of sand." Zane informed, almost automatically.

"Great!- Wait…. Sensors?" Rosetta looked at him, confused "What does that mean?"

"What he meant was umm…. The sensors errr…. in the control room! Yeah…." Cole chuckled awkwardly, trying to cover for his nindroid friend. The kunoichi had yet to know that he wasn't actually human.

"...We have sensors in the control room?" Hanna was desperately trying to fix her bright pink hair.

"Y-Yeah! Of course we do!" Nya stuttered, giving Hanna a pretty convincing smile. (Nya. The master of f***ing lies. I think Luna got that from her -Pegasis)

"I believe that we made it halfway through the sea of sand, but then we crashed." Sensei guessed. He also was very tired.

"Into what? What could possibly be high enough for a flying bounty to crash into?" Kai asked, rushing out from inside the bounty.

"More importantly, where in the world were you?" Hanna put her hands on her hip, dropping her posture slightly.

"I was jelling my hair!" Kai answered arrogantly as Jay rolled his eyes.

"You know…. That time we had to train and you were absent….." Lloyd trailed off suspiciously "Where were you?". Kai looked away.

"Err…."
"I'll tell you where he was" Nya smirked, jabbing her finger at Kai's face. Faltering slightly "He. Was jelling his hair! Again!"
"Wait…. Were those tiny jars that were weighing the bounty down hair gel bottles?" Jay raised his scarred eyebrow.

"Can we please stop talking about my hair and look down?!" Kai said, flushing. He pointed to the edge of the ship, as everyone walked to the side to get a better look.

Beneath them, there was a giant castle, seemingly made of sand.

"The bounty is perched right on top of the tower of that thing" Observed Christy. The others looked at her in confusement.

"How could you see that?!" The light bender shrugged.

"I dunno… Maybe cause my power is light… I get better eyesight?" The ninjas looked at Sensei, waiting for an answer.

"I don't know…" Sensei mused.

"You don't know?! You're Sensei! You have a long white beard and everything!" Jay shrieked, waving his arms in the air. "Shouldn't you know, like, everything?!"

"Even Sensei sometimes doesn't know the answer Jay" Zane reminded. Christy leaned down to take a better look at the castle.

"Oh no…" She murmured. Nya turned to look at her.

"You know this place?" She asked.

"W-what? Nooo… It just… Looks scary, that's all.." She said quietly as she sunk lower, afraid that she could spill under pressure.

"Okay, you can tell me anything, okay?" The water wielder reassured her. Christy nodded meekly, her body expression very unconvincing.

"I'll go check on the engines." Nya offered, going into the kunoichi's room to grab her tool box she was going to use for the now decorated room.

"I'll help!" Jay said eagerly while Kai gave him a death stare "Umm you know… In case she needs it!" He grinned sheepishly and quickly walked out of the room, arms pressed against his sides while beads of sweat rolled down his face.

As Nya and Jay headed down to the engine room, Jay tried to start a discussion with Nya.

"W-what do you think's wrong with the engine?" Jay asked Nya, sounding like an idiot, even though it was not intentional. Nya giggled before smothering her laugh.

"I don't know, but I don't think the engines might've been damaged at all. They're too far from the bottom of the ship. I think it's just that the bottom of the ship might have a rupture in it, so it might just be stuck." Jay nodded as he thought about it. It was actually quite possible.

'She's so smart~' He thought dreamily.

"Jay?"

"Huh?" He said, a bit confused.

"Jay, you zoned out." Nya said, worriedly.

"Yeah sure I'm fine." He said as fast as well, lighting! Nya stared at him strangely before shrugging, setting her eyes on the engines. They seemed to be working perfectly, but it seems she was right. They weren't moving any faster.

"I think you were right…" Jay started examining the engines.

"Let's go check the basement." Nya suggested. "Turn off the engines so we don't waste fuel, won't you?"

"S-sure..!" He rushed to pull the giant lever.

The ninjas and kunoichi were starting to get bored, so Sensei decided to let them decide what to do for once.

"I'm going to my room to meditate." He got up.

"But-" Kai began to complain.

"Butts are for sitting on, Kai." Sensei whacked his head with his bamboo stick… Again. "You need to learn how to work together as a team, with the kunoichi." The kids looked at each other warily.

"But they're… Girls!" He cringed as if they had the cooties, stomping his foot to exaggerate. Cole facepalmed, Lloyd rolled his eyes and face planted onto the nearest solid object, Zane looked at him with confusion and Sensei simply rolled his eyes.

"What…. What did you say?!" Christy threatened. Kai scoffed.

"You heard me." Then Christy did something unexpected. She punched him in the face and poured her glass of water on her before walking away without another word.

"You had it coming." Cole said to Kai, grinning in amusement. Kai grumbled and sulkily walked inside the bounty to get cleaned up. On the way, he ran into Jay and Nya.

"What happened to you Kai?" Nya asked her brother, concerned. Zane walked by, and filled them in.

"He said that the ninjas can't work with the girls, and Christy got mad." Offended, Nya instantly dragged her brother by his hair into the bathroom, walked out and slammed the door behind her.

"You had it coming, but just get changed already." She told off her older brother and walked back to the deck. There, she and Jay met the kunoichi and the ninjas.

"Guys we need to get to work. There's a hole at the bottom of the bounty, and we need to fix it before we can go." Jay informed them all.

"But the top of the castle is stuck halfway into the bounty, so I really don't know how we'll do it." Nya frowned.

"ATTACK!~" A sudden harsh voice cried. The ninjas turned around to see three dozen hooded figures jump up onto the ship, armed with bows and daggers.

"What are these things?!" Nya wondered as she did spinjitzu. When she was hitting the figures, she noticed a yellow tail sticking out of the hoods.

"They're serpentine!" She cried. But wait…. When were the serpentine yellow? Beside her, the bk

kunoichi tried to fight the snakes off, but weren't trained well enough to handle these mysterious new type of serpentine. Plus their morning drowsiness didn't help them at all.

"Guys! The kunoichi!" She reminded the remaining ninjas. Suddenly, she felt something grab her arms and pin them behind her back.

"Ugh!" She screamed in frustration, trying to kick her way out. Suddenly, something hit her sharply at the back of her head and she slipped out of consciousness.

"Nya!" The ninjas cried as Kai came out of the bathroom, drinking from a bottle of water.

"Guy's what's g-" Suddenly the bottle flew over his head, spilling the cold liquid all over him again.

"Oh come on! I just cleaned u-" But he didn't get to finish. He, along with the other ninjas, were grabbed from behind and dragged off the ship. Sensei, who was meditating the whole time, gasped and opened his eyes.

"Something's not right."
