Lloyd looked up, hearing footsteps coming down the ramp of the Samurai X Cave. When the falcon flew into the room, he knew who was coming. The falcon soared around Lloyd, then returned to Zane, landing on his outstretched arm.
"What do you know, nindroid was right," Nicki said.
"His name is Zane," Dash scolded. "Call him by his name."
"You got the message," Lloyd smiled.
"Yes, but how did you get your memories back?" Zane asked.
"That would be me," Ali said. "I took him somewhere and was able to restore his memories."
"Well, now what do we do?" Roy asked.
"Dash!" Zack cried.
Dash watched Zack run to her, and pulled the young boy into a hug.
"Who are they, Zane?" Ali asked, motioning to Nicki and Roy.
"I'm Nicki, and this is Roy," Nicki smiled. "We're Dash's friends."
"They broke Dash and myself out of that place," Zane said. "But we had to leave Cole, Kai, Jay and Nya behind."
"We have to find them sooner or later," Lloyd said. "Until then, we need to rest."
"Rest? While your friends are still in the enemy's hands?" Roy questioned.
"Yes," Lloyd nodded.
"Who knows what Linda might do with them," Nicki cried.
"She won't do anything to them," Lloyd said.
"How are you so sure about that?" Ali asked him.
"She wants you and me," Lloyd turned to Ali. "Only the two of us, and no one else. She's only going to keep them until she has us."
"So we give you two over to her and save them," Nicki said.
"Not. Happening," Zane hissed.
"Alright, the droid has a scary side to him," Roy muttered.
"Look, we just need to rest for the night," Ali told them. "We all need to sleep, especially the masters in the room. We need all the power we can have."
"You mean the ninja?" Dash asked. "I mean, Nicki, Roy, Zack and I don't have powers."
"That's not entirely true, Dash," Ali said.
"Come again," Nicki said.
"Dash, can you come to me?" Ali said.
Dash walked towards Ali. Ali took Dash's hand and flipped it over so her palm was up. Dash looked at Ali, but remained silent. Ali placed her hand over Dash's, and then lifted it. Dash stared in awe, seeing a purple sphere floating above her hand.
"You control the Undead, Dash," Ali smiled. "Not only that, but dark magic flows through you. It emanates off of you, and I could feel it when I first met you."
Dash was still enhanced by the purple sphere. Then it disappeared, and she looked up at Ali.
"Linda only lets certain people join her group," Ali continued. "They must have some sort of special ability, even if they aren't aware of it."
"Why was Zack there, then?" Nicki asked.
"Um, excuse me?" Zack raised an eyebrow at Nicki. "Dragon boy. Hello?"
"What?" Nicki looked at the young boy confused.
Zack turned into a dragon right before them, and Lloyd yelped. Lloyd hadn't seen him transform before and realized how strong Dash and Zack alone would have been.
"So, come this way and Lloyd will show you to somewhere you three can sleep," Ali said to Nicki, Roy and Zack. "Zane can go too."
They nodded, following Lloyd away from Dash and Ali. Dash was still in a slight shock.
"Are you going to be OK?" Ali asked her. "I know what I just told you is a lot to take in."
"I just can't believe it," Dash muttered.
"You're father?" Ali asked.
"How do you know about him?" Dash frowned.
Ali checked over her shoulder, making sure the others weren't in the room with them. She turned back to Dash.
"I can read your mind," Ali told her softly. "I know who you are, I know where you've come from. All of it."
Dash frowned, looking away.
"Can you not tell the others?" she asked.
"That will be up to you," Ali replied. "You can tell them when your ready, or not at all. Just realize, not all of us have come from great families and we'll all understand."
Dash nodded.
"Come on, let's go get some sleep," Ali smiled.
Dash followed Ali off in the direction they went off in.
Nya, Cole and Jay sat in silence, no one knowing what to say. Nya was constantly worried about Kai, cuddled up with Jay. Cole sat across from them, fidgeting on the floor. Jay cast him a glance everyone couple of minutes as Nya drifted off into a soft sleep. Once she was out, Jay looked up at Cole.
"What are we going to do?" Jay asked quietly.
"I don't know," Cole replied. "We don't even know where Zane or Lloyd are, and who knows what condition Kai will be in when we find him."
"I hope they don't hurt him like they did before," Jay muttered. "I hated see Nya like that."
"We both hate seeing her like this in general," Cole agreed. "There's nothing we can do in our situation, though. We have to wait."
"I hate waiting," Jay muttered.
"None of us like to wait," Cole agreed. "What other choice do we have though?"
Jay nodded, looking down at Nya.
"We're all worried, and we don't know if anyone's escaped," Cole sighed. "We don't know if anyone is even coming for us."
"Don't think like that," Jay said. "Someone will come. Someone always comes for us."
Cole sighed. They were both losing hope, and he knew it. Jay always tried to keep positive, but he could see the spark in the blue ninja's sapphire eyes disappearing quickly. The cell had venge stone in the walls, so it weakened their powers to the point that they were utterly useless. Nya was sleeping and Cole was happy to know one of them was able to sleep. They all had gone a day or more without sleep now. Nya needed it, seeing she hadn't slept while Kai was recovering. Cole saw Jay drifting off, but forcing himself awake again.
"You should rest too, Jay," Cole said. "You looked exhausted."
"But," Jay started to argue.
"Rest, Jay," Cole said softly. "I'll wake you if someone comes. Ok?"
Jay nodded. He laid Nya on the ground next to him and snuggled up with her. Cole smiled, seeing the two cuddled up on the ground, sleeping. Now he was alone to his thoughts.
Alright, crazies. Are we all good now?
Lloyd: You answer that yourself.
Hey! Chen's gone and I'm happy.
Kai: Is the fan gone?
I think she's busy trying to push Linda into a volcano. I set up a force field, so she will never fall in. It's funny to watch though.
Jay: You're evil
Cole: Jay, that's not very nice.
He's right, though
Nya; You're name's Sweetheart, though
Yeah, ironic, isn't it?
Jay: Creepy person.
