Lloyd's P.O.V.

I slowly opened my eyes to darkness. I didn't know where I was, but I was alone. The last thing I remember was Linda gassing me to sleep on a helicopter. Now, I seem to be tied up in pure darkness. A jail cell maybe.

"You know what I want," someone said, "now GO!"

I heard a lot of mumbling and footsteps running. It was then I realized I was blindfolded. How could I be so blind not to realize this sooner. I felt ropes tightly around my wrist and legs. I was stuck.

"Is it really this hard to find a girl who is so famous," I heard someone moan, Linda I think.

I tried to speak, but it only came out as quiet muffles. She taped my mouth shut! How?!

"You're awake," she said. "It's about time."
I tried to yell at her, but it was only muffles.

"Awe," she cooed at me, "is little, helpless Lloyd angry?"

Now that set me off. I started fighting against the ropes, trying to break free to attack her for calling me that.

"Once we find you "wife", this will be over," Linda said, "completely."

I gulped at that. What does she mean by completely?

"I've already taken out the red ninja, now I just need to find the others," Linda said. "And I have a plan for that, but I have to find my sister first. You two are the key for this, it won't work if I don't have you two."
"Master!" someone cried, Matt probably. "The red ninja wasn't at the base. He's gone!"
"He escaped us!" Linda cried out, angry. "Ug! Find him, make sure he's dead, permanently!"
I screamed for her to stop, but the tape made it only come out as muffled cries.

"Silence!" Linda cried, kicking me in the stomach.

I groan, wishing to clutch it, but I couldn't with my hands tied behind my back.

"You might as well just give up, Lloyd," Linda sneered at me. "You stand no chance against me."

I lowered my head down. Maybe she's right. Maybe I should stop trying. If anything, the others will come to my rescue.

"Yeah, that's right, give up," Linda said. "No one will rescue you. They don't even know where you are."

She laughed.

She's wrong, Ali knows where I am. If she can find the others, Linda doesn't stand a chance. I smiled under the tape, but she couldn't see it.

"Once I get my sister, I will simply set up the trap for the other," Linda laughed. "Killing you two, bringing the others out to save you. And if they don't, you'll die anyways."

I gulped. Kill me, why?

"There no way, Lloyd, that you can escape this," Linda told me. "Evil wins this time."
Is she actually right this time? Is evil winning? The others haven't been seen is so long, they could be dead for all I know.

"They're alive," Linda told me, clearly reading my mind. "I know they're out there somewhere, we just can't figure out where."
"Master, a news report just came on, take a look," someone said, probably Liam.

"Breaking news!" I heard it. "The elemental princess has been found, along with the other ninja of Ninjago in Ignacia village."

"We just need to find my brother, Kai, and the green ninja, Lloyd," a girl said, Nya I think.

"There you have it, only the red and green ninja's are missing, and most likely still held captive by Ali's evil sister."

"I only have you," Linda said. "They don't know what they're saying."

"I'll go check in with the others progress and alert them of the new whereabouts," Liam said, then ran off.

"They won't last long now," Linda said. "It's just how can the red ninja just disappear! He can't! We've checked everywhere in NInjago. Frozen Wastelands, Dessert, every Village, minus Ignacia since we know he's not there, mountains, everywhere."

"Not Hiroshi's Labyrinth yet," Matt cried out.

"Hiroshi's Labyrinth," Linda repeated. "He's there, isn't he."

My muffled cries, telling her that he wouldn't be there, to try to throw her off failed and only caused her to kick me again. Harder.

"Shut it already," she yelled at me.

I guess it's all over now. Unless the others have a plan to stop her and save me. I hope they do.

"We're going to Hiroshi's Labyrinth to find Kai," Linda said. "If I have to, I will kill you there instead."

Oh please someone save me.

Kai's P.O.V.

I lied on the bed June gave me, thinking. Is Lloyd going to be Ok. Is Linda hunting for me? I hope she's not and will never find me.

"Kai, you oK?" June asked, snapping me from my thoughts.

"I don't know," I sighed. "First Lloyd's alone out there, Ali's in trouble and I don't know if Linda's hunting for me. I have no clue what to do."

"I'm sure everything will be fine," June assured me.

I nodded, then we heard some rustling outside.

"Oh no," June whispered.

I remained silent and followed her to the edge of the treefort. I saw a familiar face. Aidan.

"He's here somewhere," Aidan said. "Keep looking."

"Adian, I mumbled.

"You know him," June asked.

"Hate him. He works for Linda. Clearly after me," I sighed.

"We need to move then," June said.

She snuck over and grabbed a couple daggers, a bow and some arrows and toss me a sword and a pouch of shurikens. I noticed she had a small bag on her back too. She motioned for me to follow her, so I did.

"Keep quiet so they don't see us," June whispered.

I nodded. She slid across a rope. Then she grabbed a twig and threw it to distract them. I slid across after her, watching the run toward the twig. I got to June and followed her, jumping in the trees.

"Get down," June whispered, ducking.

I duck down, wondering why. Then I saw it. A larger group of people, and I recognized four of them. Linda, Matt, Liam and…

"Lloyd," I whispered.

"Which one is he?" June asked.

"Blind folded one," I whispered back.

June looked around, then saw him.

"It's too risky right now," June said. "Let's follow them, but stay out of sight."

I nodded as we began walking through the trees again. I kept Lloyd in my line of sight. I want to take Linda down, here and now, but it would be too risky. They stopped and I noticed Lloyd was struggling.

"Where is he?" Linda asked.

"We haven't found him yet," Aidan replied. "We're still looking."

Linda frowned and turned to Lloyd, pulling the tape off his mouth.

"Tell me, where is the red ninja," she ordered him.

"I don't even know where I am," Lloyd replied.

Two men were holding Lloyd's arms, stopping him from escaping.

Linda moaned, "I'm getting fed up with you."

Linda turned away from him, then said something that angered me.

"Kill him. Here and now."

"No, please," Lloyd begged.

I watched Linda walk away, leaving Lloyd behind.

"We have to do something," I whispered to June.

June lowered herself a branch and saw that linda was gone, out of sight.

"She's gone," June whispered to me.

I joined her, down a branch. I looked up to see the men forcing Lloyd against a tree, blades ready to strike and kill him. I pulled out a shuriken. I hope the training with Zane will help with this. I threw it, knocking the swords from the men hands. They stumbled right below June and I.

"Jump," she said.

We jumped and landed right on them. They fell under us.

"I think we killed them," June sighed. "Well, that's two down."
"Who's there?" Lloyd said, panicking.

I shook my head. I walked over and helped him up. I closed my eyes and removed his blindfold.

"I'm sorry I didn't do anything sooner," I told him.
"Kai!" he cried, hugging me. "How are you alive?"

"June helped me," I told him. "We need to get out of here."

"He's right," June said.

I Lloyd nodded and followed us up the tree. We climbed up to the top.

"Where are the others?" I asked.

"Ignacia Village, but we can't go there," Lloyd said.

"Why?" June asked.

"Linda's men are there, I sent them a recording, hoping they would understand it and get out of there fast," Lloyd sighed. "But I don't know if they got it."

"The watch, right," I smiled.

"Metalonia is close to here, we can go to Karloff's place and rest," I said.

"Ok, but who's Karloff?" June asked.

"The master of metal, he's a friend of ours," Lloyd told her.

"How will we get there though?" I asked. "I don't have my powers and you can't use yours."

"Well, I can do it," June told us.

We looked at her confused as she summoned a grey and purple dragon, how, we don't know.

"Come on," she said.

We didn't hesitate to get on. We just did.

"But don't you think they'll see us," Lloyd commented.

"Hiroshi's Labyrinth is heavily forested and you can't see the sky anywhere," June told us, "we'll be fine."

I nodded in agreement, trusting her after everything she's done already. She took off to the skies, flying through the clouds.

"Now where's Metalonia?" she asked.

"North of here," Lloyd said.

"Ok, let's see if we can find it," June sighed.

So we flew, hoping we would find it eventually.
