A/N: Hello! Hmmm, Nya's turn to join the battle. No…I haven't forgotten Kai. I just know what order you are expecting me to do things in and I am purposely doing the opposite. That and its fun making Kai wait his turn.

Kai: Well I'm not having fun.

Me: Deal with it. Now then, I own Nothing! Except for my OCs!

Chapter Twenty: Officer Nicholas is a wonderful ally…

Cole slipped into the bridge, his feet softly padding along the wooden floor. Pausing at the phone, he lifted it off its hook. Biting his bottom lip, he reached to dial the number he memorized so many years ago. Freezing, he glanced back as if asking for help.

Earth, who had followed him into the room, promptly slapped his forehead. "Cole! Just call him already!"

Cole gulped, punching the keypad buttons quickly. Placing the phone by his ear, he listened to the ring tone that meant the line he was calling was still operational. After several minutes, there was a soft click as someone answered the phone on the other side. "Hello?"

"Dad? It…It's me. Cole. Umm, happy birthday. Sorry, I didn't get you anything this year…" Cole broke off when Lou suddenly burst out laughing.

"Cole? Where are you? Is there anyone with you right now?"

Cole frowned, glancing over at Earth, who responded with a shrug. "Umm, yeah there is one other with me. He's one of the guys that ya know…is in charge. But enough about me. What's been going on with you?"

~With Lou~

Lou cradled his cell phone, glancing at the scrambling officers who were trying to locate where the unknown number was coming from. One of the officers mouthed happy birthday to him. "Cole, son. Look, I'm really more worried about you than myself right now. And nothing is going on other than the fact Jo Anna is financially stable again. Cole? Where are you?"

Officer Nicholas nodded in agreement. If there was a chance that they knew where they were taken… "Oh…we're headed to the beach today. Nya already has been talking about throwing Kai into the ocean. Oh! And Lloyd's been talking about making sand castles with Jay. Not sure what's Zane's plan for when we get there, though. Me? I'm gonna just chillax in the sun."

Lou arched his eyebrow up, suddenly confused. "Cole…are you sure you'll be allowed outside of their Headquarters?"

"Oh sure. We leave all the time. Sometimes we get kicked out temporarily and other times we all go out and do something. Just last week we went camping. Bad idea with Lloyd though. He, uh, Didn't like it at all, to say the least."

Lou opened his mouth to speak again, only for Cole to suddenly squeal as a loud voice suddenly hollered from somewhere behind him. "Cole! Come on! We've landed! The beach awaits!" Cole promptly hollered, and what he said caused Officer Nicholas to go pale quickly. "Ok! I'm coming Energy…Eesh. You're acting like you and Lloyd broke into the sugar dish again…oh no! You DID break into the sugar dish! Hold on a sec…bye dad! See you when I get back, whenever that happens. Earth! Tell Energy to…" Cole must have hung up the phone since the line went dead right then.

Lou spun around to look at the officers, one of them shaking his head at him. Officer Nicholas rubbed his forehead, his voice low…and mad. "I have some…friends…that might be able to figure this whole thing out. Hopefully."

~Back with the Ninjas~

Cole stretched out on his beach towel, placing his hands behind his head, a satisfied sigh escaping him. Zane apparently wanted to join Jay and Lloyd with making their sandcastle due to the fact he had never made one before. Nya was making good progress on her threat, already Kai was soaked through…and splashing her back. Of course the peace couldn't last forever.

"GUYS!" Energy zipped hyperactively through the air above them. "Serpentine spotted with skeletons and Stone Warriors! And yes, Officer Nicholas is already there. Now go! He needs saving again!"

"Seriously?" Cole arched his eyebrow upwards in surprise, before turning to Earth. "I refuse by the Earth I'm standing on to let anything happen to them!" With a soft whoosh of air, Earth was sucked into his pendant.

Zane stood up, brushing sand of off his swimsuit. "Everything is as clear as Ice!"

Jay gulped, before saying his trigger. "Sometimes it's good to be as unpredictable as Lightning!"

Lloyd bounced as he opened his mouth. Only for Nya to cut him off. "Oh no you don't. As long as Water is beautiful and dangerous, I won't let you do something that might end with you injured or worse." Nya was soo busy concentrating on what she was saying to the youngest Ninja that she didn't notice that she had transformed.

"Umm, Nya?" Nya turned to face Kai, who promptly told her good luck. That was when realization dawned on her. Squealing, she darted off to go fight the villains…by herself.

"Nya! Wait up!" Feet pounding the hot sand, the four transformed ninjas, no one knows when Lloyd transformed; they gave chase.

…

Officer Nicholas exploded the second they pulled him out of the ropes that were keeping him from escaping. "Are you against the serpentine or working for them?!"

"Wait…what? Dude, what makes you think we're working for them? You do realize that we're talking about the same guys that kidnapped us in front of our teacher and classmates…right?" Cole frowned, his eyebrow quirking upwards.

Officer Nicholas blinked, suddenly confused. "What do you mean by they kidnapped you?"

Cole glanced over at his friends, silently questioning whether or not to tell Officer Nicholas the truth. Lloyd made the answer to his question rather obvious. "You remember the uh, six students you've been tasked with finding?" Officer Nicholas nodded in confirmation. Lloyd scratched the back of his neck, a nervous laugh escaping him. "Well…you see, you're looking at them. Long story short. Our powers are too strong for us to have them inside of us twenty four seven and umm, yeah…we have personalized powers."

Officer Nicholas turned to stare at each of them. Realizing that he didn't believe them, they briefly pulled their hoods down. Yanking them back up, Cole spoke up. "Yeah…if we look like this that just means that we're at full power. Umm, can you please keep quiet about this though? Really don't need Dad to freak out more than he already is."

Officer Nicholas nodded, before suddenly remembering something else. "Wait… where's Kai? And his power?"

Nya shrugged, shoving her hands into her pockets…something that the others didn't have. "He hasn't figured out how to go full power yet. Until then…it's just us. Oh. My codename is Water."

Officer Nicholas nodded again. "So, let me guess. He's the one who've been referring to as Fire?"

"Yep." "Of course." "That sounds correct." "Who else?" "Know anyone else that was with us?"

Officer Nicholas sighed, pinching his nose. Did they have to say different things at the exact same time?

…

Officer Nicholas had to admit the flying ship made total sense…with the whole moving headquarters and the signal coming from the strangest places. Of course the tour just made him more lost. Rubbing his head, he stared at the complex computer set up in the bridge. "You say that the computer system in here allows you to, uh, control everything on the ship…make it fly…and it alerts you about various serpentine, skeleton and Stone Warrior sightings?"

"Yup. Any questions?" Kai leaned against a holo-desk, cradling a mug of hot cider.

Nya rolled her eyes as she sipped her peppermint hot chocolate. "Ignore Kai. He doesn't know what half the stuff in here does."

"Okay then…" Officer Nicholas decided to just keep quiet and sip at the hot chocolate that he made with their instant hot chocolate machine….which does hot cider too for Kai.

Thunder crashed from outside the window as they laughed, ignoring the police officer's pure confusion, and Kai's protests that he did know what he was doing thank you very much.

A/N: Done! Ok, so Officer Nicholas now knows and has promised to not tell anyone. Uh, that's all for today…

Review!
