Sorry but this chapter it pretty much a filler. Nothing much happens outside of using their dragons at last and some comedy I guess. I should've added something more at the end but oh well that'll be added into the next chapter.
Also I didn't really like my last chapter much either lol. Seemed to human-like and I try keeping things as LEGOistic (haha) as possible but as I said it seemed to much like they were humans but whatever, I can't change that without changing around the story.
Anyways enjoy! I personally found this a bit funny towards the end :)
Chapter 14: Abduction
It was early morning, and Sensei Wu had woken up. He had told his students last night to meet him on the deck for sunrise exercise. Astra hadn't known what sunrise exercise is, so he had to explain it to her.
He went outside onto the deck and began drinking his tea. Soon enough, his students were on the deck, all looking a bit tired. Wu was done by then and opened his eyes. One, two, three, four, five, six…where are Jay and Nya? Wu cleared his throat. "Have any of you seen Jay or Nya?"
Zane thought for a moment. "Now that you mention it, Jay did not wake up with us."
Lloyd elbowed him lightly. "No, Zane, he wasn't even in his bed! I checked!"
"Yeah, and Nya wasn't in her bed either…" Reyna informed her Sensei.
Wu had a second of panic. If they had not returned, where could they be?
"Sensei, do you know where they are?" Kai eyed him suspiciously.
Wu shook his head. "Yesterday night, Jay took Nya out for a dinner at Mega Monster Amusement Park, after their first one was ruined by the Serpentine. If they have not arrived since then, that is terrible news."
The red ninja got angry. "Ugh, Jay! Just wait till I get my hands on him! What does he think he can do?"
Cole had to step in. "Kai, relax. You know Jay would never do anything to hurt Nya."
"Then I fear something may have happened to them while they were there." Sensei Wu bowed his head.
Kai's anger cooled down. "Then we have to find them!"
"But what about the kunoichi of wind?" Reyna protested.
"I think finding Jay and Nya first is more important," Sensei Wu answered.
"I think we should go to Mega Monster Amusement Park," Cole told everyone his ideas. "It obviously makes the most sense because we can check the security cameras in there and find out what happened." Nobody disagreed; Cole was right.
"Zane, I think you'll have to be tech genius without Nya and Jay around," the fire ninja told the nindroid.
The white ninja nodded. "I will personally steer us towards Mega Monster Amusement Park."
"Uh, there's a problem, I think," Lloyd suddenly said. It seemed he couldn't help but make everyone's moods worse than they already were.
"And what is that, Lloyd?" his uncle asked.
"The Bounty can't fly. The rocket boosters are a bit…broken, I think."
Zane thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth. "Lloyd is right. I saw Nya working on it yesterday, but I do not think she finished, especially with her dinner with Jay."
"Could you check?" Cole asked the nindroid.
Zane nodded. He went inside into the bridge to go check if it was fixed. A minute later, he came back. "Lloyd is correct. The boosters still need to be repaired."
The nature kunoichi groaned. "Now are we going to get there?"
Everyone thought for a moment, until an idea sparked in the fire ninja's head. "That's it! We can use our elemental dragons!"
The light kunoichi looked horrified. "You…you guys have dragons?!"
The ice ninja nodded. "Don't worry. They will not hurt you unless we tell them too, which we won't."
Astra nodded, although she still looked nervous.
"Yes, I think using your dragons would be the best way to get there, with the Bounty still needing to be repaired," Sensei Wu approved of their decision.
"Um, what about sunrise exercise?" Astra asked her Sensei.
Wu chuckled lightly. "I had completely forgotten about that. However, we have more important things to worry about. No sunrise exercise today."
Astra sighed lightly so that Wu couldn't hear it. Based on her first and only experience with sunrise exercise, it didn't exactly sound appealing to her.
"Let's use our dragons, boys!" the earth ninja shouted. He concentrated, and in a moment the brown elemental dragon of earth appeared in front of him. He hopped onto it. Reyna was amazed. "Wow. Are we going to be able to do that too?" she asked her teacher.
He nodded. "In time."
Cole held out a hand to Reyna. "Want a lift?"
She smiled and gladly took it as Cole helped her onto his dragon. She had to admit, she was a bit nervous of what a ride on a dragon would feel like.
Kai did the same, summoning his elemental fire dragon that looked about as red as his gi.
Lloyd followed by summoning his green elemental dragon of energy, followed by Zane who summoned his blue elemental dragon of ice. Zane, like Cole had done to Reyna, held out a hand for a nervous Astra to get on the dragon. She hesitantly took his hand, after some convincing from Zane and the others. Soon enough, they were soaring through the sky on the backs of dragons.
Admittedly, Astra had fun riding on the dragon along with Zane, although she was also terrified of what could happen if she fell off. "Doesn't this feel great?" Zane asked her without turning around. Astra nodded, which the nindroid couldn't see. She loved the feel of the wind rushing in her face. It was like plane-surfing, if that was ever possible, but not as fast.
In some minutes, they had reached Mega Monster Amusement Park. "Now," Cole told Reyna, "I'm going to…what would would you call it, I guess, bring the dragon back inside of me, so I'll put us near the ground so when we fall we're not falling much." Reyna nodded. She wasn't afraid of heights, so it didn't really bother her. What did bother her was if they were higher up and Cole did the bringing back thing, then it could injure her feet, but luckily Cole wasn't doing that. Cole took the dragon near the ground outside of the amusement park, and closed his eyes, which the nature kunoichi couldn't see because she was sitting behind him. In a moment, the dragon suddenly disappeared, and Reyna wasn't prepared for that. She screamed, although she still landed on her feet. "Sorry," Cole said sheepishly. "I should've warned you I was going to do that."
Zane told Astra the same thing, but gave her a warning, first so Astra was sure she didn't scream like Reyna had. Kai and Lloyd also brought back their dragons.
"Alright, Mr. Leader, where to first?" Kai asked Cole with a smirk.
The black ninja rolled his eyes. "Really? I thought you'd be smarter than that, Kai. The security camera room, duh!"
"The place they watch everything from, right?" Reyna asked, to which Cole nodded.
After some scouring and asking people at the amusement park where they could find that place, they got their answer. It was located all the way at the back of the park.
When they got to the small building where the security people watched everything through the security cameras, they found a man blocking their way in, looking only a few years older than the ninja and kunoichi at best.
"What do you people think you're doing here?" he demanded.
"We're the ninja," Cole answered, "and our friends were at the restaurant at this amusement park yesterday, but they never came back, so we want to see what happened."
The man looked at them and laughed. "You're the ninja? Nice try." His laughing stopped and turned into a dreamy smile. "And who might these two lovely ladies be?"
Cole looked down at his clothes and realized he was still wearing his pajamas. Then he looked at Reyna and Astra, then back at the guard and scrunched up his face. "NINJA GO!" he shouted and he was changed into his ninja gi. Kai, Zane, and Lloyd followed as well, as they also forgot they were still in their pajamas. Cole leaned in to the guard and whispered dangerously so that the others couldn't hear. "Do you believe we're the ninja now? And for your information, they are two of the five kunoichi we need to find for a new prophecy, and they're both taken."
The guard gulped nervously. "Um, yes, okay. I'll allow you to go inside. All of you, I mean." The guard stepped aside and let the ninja and kunoichi enter the building. Guess what they saw inside? Two older men than the one outside, sitting on chairs, eating donuts, and playing chess.
"Checkmate," one of the guards said casually.
The other guard stood up in a flash. "Wha-…how-…th-…" It seemed like to the ninja and kunoichi that he forgot how to speak. "YOU ALWAYS WIN!" he finally shouted.
Cole cleared his throat. "Sorry to interrupt your daily routine, gentlemen, but we have some things we'd like to see."
The security guards, having no clue how the ninja and kunoichi got in, looked over and froze in fear.
"It's the ninja!" the guard who lost in the game of chess exclaimed in fear. "How did you get in?"
"We walked through the door," Zane replied.
Kai, Lloyd, and the kunoichi all did a facepalm, while Cole just shook his head, but quickly got back to what they had to do there. "Two of our teammates were here at Mega Monster Amusement Park's restaurant for a dinner last night and they haven't returned back to our flying ship. We'd like to see what happened in the restaurant at that time."
"Last night," the guard who won repeated. "Wasn't my shift, nor Harold's." He motioned to the guard he beat in the game of chess, whose name is Harold.
The fire ninja was losing his patience. "We don't care whose shift it was last night. We want to see footage of what happened last night at the restaurant."
"You mean the diner?" Harold asked. "Because that's the only 'fancy' restaurant here that would be suited for a date-type of thing."
The fire ninja nodded. "Yeah, that."
The other guard turned his chair around and faced the computer screen that had the restaurant in view. He rewinded it to yesterday at around 5 o'clock PM. "What time was this?"
"Perhaps you should forward it to about 6 o'clock. I think that might be the time." Zane told them. The guard did as he said.
"I don't see Jay or Nya anywhere here," Lloyd said quietly, and Kai nodded.
"Maybe 20 minutes forward?" Astra guessed. The guard forwarded it 20 minutes.
"Nope, still no Jay or Nya," Cole confirmed.
They watched it for another minute or two, but still didn't see their teammates there. "Another 10 minutes should be the right time, I believe," Zane told the guard. He forwarded it another 10 minutes, and they watched it from that time on for another few minutes.
The time in the video showed 6:37. "There they are!" Reyna suddenly exclaimed. "I think…"
Sure enough, they saw faces that looked like the blue ninja and cyan kunoichi. "Yeah, that's them." Kai confirmed. "Let's keep watching this." They watched how Jay and Nya sat down in a booth, ordered their food, and then turned around to look at the main door. They heard some shouting, but couldn't make out the words, when Jay and Nya looked at each other and jumped out of their booth. They saw as Jay shot some lightning at someone they couldn't see on that screen.
"Harold, get the screen with the view of the front of this diner at 6:41 PM yesterday." the security guard ordered. Harold did as he was told, and they could all see that there were four (assumed) men at the entrance of the diner, but they couldn't see their faces. The one they thought to be the leader was wearing dark blue, and the other three were wearing black. They also saw how the lightning Jay blasted at the dark blue man had hit the person behind him. Then the leader yelled something, probably to go attack, and back on the other screen they saw Jay and Nya fighting when something purple hit Nya's shoulder and she fell. Jay screamed and yelled "NINJA GO!" which they heard clearly but his hands were held and he was captured. He was punched twice, let go, and then finally fell on the ground. Then the leader walked over, bent down, and they couldn't see the rest so they looked back at the screen with the view of the entrance where they saw the man shock Jay with purple electricity or something similar to that. Jay's eyes flew open, and closed just as quickly as they opened. The leader barked an order, and the other three people hauled Jay and Nya up and exited the restaurant.
The ninja, kunoichi, and guards all looked at each other with the same or similar question(s): what would these people want with Jay and Nya?
Yeah they got kidnapped. You'll get some Jay POV next chapter along with the ninja and kunoichi trying to get some leads and find them. I really don't know how they'll escape, whether ninja will find them, they'll get themselves out, or the villain himself (well, one of the villains, he's not the main one, but working for him) will somehow get what he wants and then releases them. Whatever it may be, stay tuned to find out!
