I'm back and ready to present the next chapter! Congratulations to Meggy-the-Demon for being the 50th reviewer! 50 reviews! YAY!

(Zane's POV)

I should have known that the mayor kidnapped us. All he cares about are the dragons. The dragons are my friends if he thinks I'm going to betray them then he planned terribly. "Who are you? Why have you taken us? Do you even know who we are?" Nic asked. "Oh, yes. You are the children of the ninja. Nic and Xander, sons of Cole. Nyla and Jason, son and daughter of Jay and Nya. Kayla and Skye, daughters of Kai and Skylor. All of you are my ticket to the dragons." He said. "We don't even know where the dragons are. Zane doesn't even know where the dragons are." Skye said. "No, he doesn't. but he knows where the dragon eggs are."

My eyes widened in fear. 'He's not going to torture me, he's going to torture my friends to get me to reveal the locations of the eggs.' "I will never reveal the location of the eggs. The eggs are hatching soon. I will never tell you where the eggs are." I told him. "You will eventually. For now, all of you will stay here. Oh, and you better tell Zane your secret or I will." Then he left. My friends looked at each other confused. 'What secret are they hiding from me?'

(Lloyd's POV)

I watched the video over and over. We're missing something. I know it but what? Everyone may know where we live but someone wanted Zane for his knowledge of the dragons. Question is who? Then I remembered something. When we helped the village stop Zane from stealing, he seemed more than happy that we caught him. He must have captured Zane. I ran out of the room to talk to the others. "Guys, I think I know who took Zane and the kids." I said as I entered the living room. "Who?!" They all asked. "The mayor of the village who asked us to stop Zane from stealing the food and medicine."

"That's right. Zane said something about us not even knowing what the medicine and food was even for. Maybe they have already captured some dragons and the food is for them." Jay theorized. "Ninja, I recommend getting them quickly. We know that they will want Zane for the dragons and who knows what could or has happened since they have been taken." We all nodded and left. 'Please let the kids and Zane be all right.'

(Nic's POV)

The Mayor left leaving us all very confused. 'What is he talking about?' I thought to myself. "Guys, are you hiding something from me?" Zane asked as he handed Nyla to Jason. "No, we don't even know what he is talking about. We've pretty much told you everything about us." Skye told him. "Weird. Think he was trying to confuse us or trick me?" Zane asked. "Maybe, maybe not. But we need to plan our escape. Zane, can your claws pick any lock?" Xander asked. "It depends on the lock. But we must be careful. Something tells me that we are being watched so we must tread carefully." We all nodded in understanding.

(The Mayor's POV)

I watched as the children were talking, stupid machines aren't programmed to hear them talk but I can see that they don't know what secret I was talking about. Luckily, I know it. This Zane doesn't know that he is the reincarnation of the previous white ninja and he is descended from the original ice master. Once he learns that, it will be all over.

(Zane's POV)

I looked at the lock that was keeping us in vedgestone cell. 'Hmm. This is a lock that requires a key. I've never extended my claws far enough like a key but maybe I can do it this time.' I thought to myself. I concentrated hard to bring my claws out long enough to make a lock pick. When it was finally as long as I could make it, I picked the lock. 'Luckily, my claws grow back quickly.' I thought to myself. It took a few minutes, but I finally picked the lock. "I got it." I said as I opened the door. "Great. Let's get out of here." Jason said as he tried to make Nyla a bit more comfortable. Then we all ran out of there.

(Lloyd's POV)

We all flew on our dragons to the village to save the kids. I felt more and more convinced that the mayor took them. "Guys, we have to be careful. I have a bad feeling something bad is going to happen." I told them. "Lloyd, what do you mean?" Cole asked me. "I don't know but something bad is going to happen if we don't save the kids." I told them. They all nodded, and we flew even faster to save Zane and the kids.

(The Mayor's POV)

They're escaping. Perfect. They will have no idea where they are going. Knowing that Hybrid Brat, he will use his nose to find the exit. This will lead him to the room I want him to be in.

(Nic's POV)

Something is wrong. This is too easy. From what our parents have told us, and spy movies, escaping from a crazy madman is never easy. "Guys, I can smell the way out for us." Zane said. We all stopped running, smelled for a few minutes, and turned to us. "Guys, it's this way." He shouted then we all proceeded to follow him.

Zane used his nose as we ran through each hallway till we hit a closed door that was different from the ones we passed earlier. This one was made of wood and had a very familiar looking symbol on it. 'Where have I seen that symbol before?' I thought to myself. "This door smells like the exit. But I can smell something else, something familiar."

"What do you mean?" Xander asked. "I don't know. But it just smells familiar." Zane told us. 'What could Zane be smelling that is familiar to him?' I thought to myself. Zane shook his head. "It doesn't matter. If this is the way out, then we should take it." Zane told us. We all nodded in agreement and Zane picked the lock. 'Something is wrong. Our escape was too easy. There should be guards or something.' I was taken out of my thoughts when Zane picked the lock. "I got it. We must go quickly. I won't be able to fly any of you out of here. I am unable to carry all of you since I am still an unexperienced flyer." Zane told us. We all nodded in understanding. He opened the door and it was pitch black. 'Weird. I thought it would be the middle of the day not the middle of the night.' I thought to myself. We all tried to look around till Kayla shouted, "Guys, I found a light switch. We in a room." She turned on the light and we all gasped in fear at what we saw.

That's it for now. What did they see? Find out next time. Sorry for a late update. Marching contests have finished so that leaves me more time to do homework, practice more music, and fanfiction. I have Thanksgiving next week so that should leave me more time to update when I'm not sleeping or eating. Anyway, don't forget to fav, follow, and review please. See y'all next time
