CHAPTER 27

LOST IN THE PAST

KAI`S POV:

I couldn't believe it. We've only been out here for I can't remember how many days and were already lost. We've gotten ourselves into some trouble. We went inside of a village to find ourselves some food, but since Jay always has to open his big mouth, we were chased out of the village and told to never return. Cole tried to find some food in one of the tallest trees in the woods, but he ended up falling off it and knocking himself in the head. We were lucky to find a doctor who lived in the woods that would help take care of Cole. We wasted a whole night staying over there. We were back on the road the next day, going from village to village, getting whatever food we could and then placing ourselves back into the woods. Unfortunately, this time, we couldn't tell where we were and what we were suppose to do. We had just went out in the middle of nowhere and ended up getting ourselves lost.

Keeping my angered cool, I sat down with everyone else as I created a fire to keep us all warm. The days have been long and hard. I was tired, and so was everybody else. I started getting a headache because I ended up staring at the fire too long. I don't get it. I'm the master of fire, but I still get headaches from staring at a fire. It's just so ridiculous.

We all sat in silence, thinking about what to do next. We've already gotten ourselves lost out here. I suppose we have no choice but to get ourselves list again. The least we can do is find our way around here.

I sighed and placed myself on the ground. "How did we end up in this mess?"

"You mean the fact that we've been out for days, trying to find the kids and now we've ended up getting lost out here ourselves," Jay explained.

"Well, when you put it that way."

"There is nothing to fear, everyone," Sensei Wu said, "We will find our way around. We just need a little bit of encouragement."

"There's always a way to find that," Nya said, "I usually just use it when I'm building something. Well, creating an invention is more specific way of putting it."

"I think we got it, sis," I said.

"I'm really getting tired of all this," Kitty said, "If only we had a map to get ourselves around this place. That would be so much better."

"The maps in this time period are different than the ones in our time," Misako said, "Besides, it would be hard to find a map that was just lying around waiting for someone to pick up off the ground."

"Usually, when somebody says that, it hits them in the face," Garmadon said.

"Don't start joking around with me, Garmadon. I'm not in the mood."

"Okay, let's not get off topic here," Cole said, placing his hand onto his bandaged head, "If anything, I'm ready to get out of this time period. Everything that I'm seeing is just plain crazy."

"Cole, you hit your head," Carol said, "You should be going crazy about that."

Cole sighed. "I was specifically talking about something totally different."

"Totally different? Please. I change the subject all the time."

"Yet you made me forget what I was about to say. Thank you very much, sweetheart."

"Awwwww! I love you, too, baby." Carol kissed his cheek, making Cole blush everywhere.

"Looks to me like your getting off topic, Cole," I said, "It looks as though I'm gonna have to figure something out instead of you. You'd rather kiss you girlfriend over there than you would ever think about a new plan."

"Well, I can't argue with that," Cole said.

"I think it's best if I figure something out myself," Sensei Wu said, "Give me a little time to meditate and I promise to tell you."

"Come on, guys," Cole said, "Let's give Sensei Wu a little lone time. After all, meditation means quiet fir some reason."

"He meditates all the time," Jay said, "I'm pretty sure he's used to us being loud and all that. Considering that he used to listen to us playing video games and shouting at each other all the time."

"That's completely different," I said, "In this time period, video games haven't even been invented yet."

"I know that, Kai. I'm not that stupid."

"Forget I said anything."

"Guys, over here," Cole said, gesturing up to come behind the trees.

Everyone except Sensei Wu came over. While he was over there meditating, the rest of us were trying to figure out a solution to all this.

"Okay, the kids have been here longer than we have, so where do you think they went?" I asked.

"Probably begged an old lady to let them stay at her house where they can enjoy some warm meals and comfortable beds," Jay said.

"Can we go back to being serious?" Cole asked.

"Buzzkill."

"Okay, let us become serious about this," Zane said.

"Zane`s right," Cole said, "Let's get back to business. Where do you think the kids might actually be at? Don't say at some old lady's house, Jay. That's your answer for everything."

"I wasn't gonna say that," Jay said.

"Let's start off with a better question," I said, "Why do you think the kids came here in the first place?"

"Good question," Zane said, "How?"

"I think I may have a theory," Kitty said, "Remember when Kai was staring at the vase like a weirdo?"

"I remember that," Jay said.

"Hey, I wasn't staring at it like a weirdo," I said.

"Yes, you were," Kitty said, "Anyway, when Kai was staring at it, the vortex appeared, causing all of us to get sucked into it. Then we ended up here."

"So what's your point?"

"My point is that one of the kids may have been in a trance, letting the, I suppose, peace symbol speak to them, having the vortex appear and causing them all to enter this time period. If it happen to Kai, then it happened to one of them."

"Here's another question," Cole said, "Which one of the kids was put into the trance?"

"I have no idea," Kitty said.

"Well, of course nobody has an idea of who it was," Nya said, "We weren't with the children when it happened."

"If only we were," Misako said.

"I hope we find them soon," Miss Allyman said, "I'm starting to worry about all of them. Plus, I'm sick of being in this time period. It's giving me the creeps."

"Let's just change the subject for a minute," Cole said, "Has anybody notice that Caleb hasn't been around lately?"

"He's been working on some new inventions to help out the team," Nya said, "He doesn't really think of himself as a ninja. He calls himself more of an ally."

"Well, if something we're to ever happen and we couldn't get out of this time period, we could always rely on him to protect Ninjago for us."

"You cannot always rely on just one person, Cole," Garmadon said, "It doesn't work that way."

"Everyone, I've completed my meditation," Sensei Wu called out, "You can come back."

Jay was the first one to speak. "Did you find anything, Sensei?"

"I couldn't find a nearby map, but I did find out where the children are," Sensei Wu said.

"Where are they?"

"It seems that Brad was the one who was in the trance. He brought everyone here because his parents were seen here."

"All this time, Brad`s parents ended up here? Looks like that little guy had a smart idea. He would've ended up in a foster home if we weren't placed in this time period."

"Now the question is this," I said, "Which one of Brad`s parents were placed in a trance?"

"Now is not the time for talking about this subject anymore," Sensei Wu said, "Night has arrived. It's time for us all to get to bed. We shall continue our journey in the morning. Tomorrow, I will lead."

"You will lead?" I said.

"Yes. No arguing about it. I shall lead and that is final. Goodnight, everyone."

"Goodnight, Sensei," everyone said.

I sighed. "I really wish we had a tent. I don't think I can last a night out here."

I laid down on the ground and fell fast asleep. Tonight wasn't any different than most nights. I suppose sleeping on the hard ground wouldn't be too bad. Although, there are tines when I can be wrong.
