P.I.X.A.L, Kai, and Jay all made it to the WildWood Forest, thinking they could catch up to Cole and Lloyd in time to find Sensei Wu, if they haven't found him already. "Alright then, where do you think these two headed?" Jay asked.

"Honestly I believe they took that route," P.I.X.A.L pointed to a path before them, Kai studied it and noticed that some of the ground was singed, "Are you sure P.I.X.A.L?" The female droid gave a nod, "They were just here."

Kai pondered for a moment before leading the other two through the path, Kai discovered that as they walked further, more ground appeared to be singed. What happened here? he thought. Then, he came to a stop when they reached a clearing, the area was beyond singed, the grass was dead, and scorched black. Kai and Jay's eyes widen, P.I.X.A.L only looked with concern. "Whoa," Jay uttered, staring at the ground, "Ok, who was playing with fire?"

Kai socked him on the head, after earning a sharp 'ow' from the ninja of lightning, Kai kneeled down and took some of the burnt grass in his fingers, "I don't think it was fire that did this."

P.I.X.A.L scanned the area, when the results came to her she replied, "Kai appears to be correct, it was not a normal forest fire that caused this, but a mass explosion from one of Cryptor's machines."

"They have machines now?" Jay asked in disbelief, Kai rolled his eyes, "Of course they do, lightning rod, they have control of Borg Tower and there's a factory line beneath it, duh."

"That appears to be correct. They have managed to hack into the system and use it for their own evil bidding, Cryptor had come here for an encounter with two ninja," P.I.X.A.L explained.

"That must've been Cole and Lloyd," Kai stated. The female droid gave a simple nod, "Yes. I sense some of their signature in the area, I can also sense that one of them is badly injured."

"What!" Jay exclaimed. P.I.X.A.L nodded slowly, "They are looking for Sensei, one is determined to get the other to him in hopes of keeping him alive."

"So one of our teammates is on the verge of dying?! Oh Cryptor is so going to get it!" Kai yelled in anger, the other two stepped back not wanting to deal with the fire elemental's furious flames. Jay talked some with P.I.X.A.L, "Are the two still in the area?"

P.I.X.A.L thought for a moment, "Yes. But too far away from here, I cant say which one is injured, but I can say that they are close to their requested location."

Jay nodded, "Alright then, so after hothead over here finishes his little, 'temper tantrum' why don't we go and find them?" P.I.X.A.L nodded, "Alright."

Once Kai finished taking out his anger on the already burnt grounds, the trio headed in the same direction where Cole and Lloyd went, although most of them felt that they were being watched by someone, or better yet, something. No one felt safe anymore, just how Cryptor had planned, he also saw a world without hope and freedom, which is, long story short, a world without the ninja.
