Well this is a bit late. Sorry guys, I had a lot of babysitting and other assorted jobs this week. I did update I'm Not Sick, and I wrote a oneshot that I'll be posting sometime soon, so there's that.
Review replies:
Windy: Lloyd... needs therapy.
Ninjagirl: Kai is tough. And something bad ALWAYS happens. Lloyd's about 12-ish.
TheAmberShadow: Not willingly. And yeah, totally. If he can figure it out.
Chan: He definitely fricked up.
Zena: "Sad" being the operative word here.
Ebony: I deleted the A/N and it got confused. Heck me too.
KRR: Thanks Kayenta, I knew I always liked you.
Guest: because I can.

Chapter 28
This was not comfortable in the least.
Indigo bounced around in Jay's pocket, gritting her teeth – figuratively – every time her coin clinked against another. Good thing coins couldn't smell, otherwise she'd have to deal with the stink of Jay's clothes too. Despite having seen what they did to Lloyd when he defied them, she had snuck along against their orders, possessing a coin in Jay 1's pocket and coming along on their journey. Unfortunately, she hadn't counted on it being so… bumpy. If she could get out, then turn invisible instantly, maybe she could walk instead. Just as she was about to execute her plan, she heard the crackle of the radio, then a voice.
"Kai, do you read me?" Nya's distorted voice asked. After some thought, they had left Nya 2 back at Stiix, to defend the city from attacks as well as keep an eye on Lloyd 1, who had been set free from his cell under the condition that he let himself be chained with a single vengestone cuff and stayed in sight at all times.
"Yeah, I read you." Kai's voice replied.
"We have a problem." His sister reported. "Indigo's gone mission. She could be in Stiix somewhere, but we think she might be with you."
"I see. Not sure how we'd be able to find her, since if she's here she's most likely invisible, but we'll do our best." Kai replied, then there was a click from the radio. "Harry, I don't suppose you'd be able to like… find her consciousness, would you?"
"I can try." Indigo stayed perfectly still in Jay's pocket, listening to the shuffling outside. "I… am not familiar with her mind, but I think she's nearby." The telepath said at last. "I'm not sure."
"Indigo!" Kai yelled. "Come out and you won't get in trouble! If we have to find you later, you will be!" She'd take her chances. There was silence for a few moments. "Eh. Whatever." The group started walking again, and Indigo debated whether or not to try to leave Jay's pocket. They were looking for her now. Finally, she bounced the coin up out of his pocket, letting it fall into the sand.
She was still for a couple minutes, then, hoping no one was looking, floated up out of it and instantly turned invisible. No shouts, no fingers pointing in her direction. Good. A quick glance around revealed the others about 20 feet ahead, and she tucked the coin in her own pocket in case she needed it later before hurrying after them. She could only hope they got there before Morro got hurt worse.
TheDarknessReturn
One, two, three, four, five, six. Turn. One, two, three, four, five, six. Turn. Morro was back to counting steps, his eyes closed as he leaned into the corner with his knees hugged to his chest. It must've been at least a day now. Maybe two. How long had he been here?
After a while, he opened his eyes. Waved his hand in front of his face. Nothing. No change in his vision. He sighed quietly. It was unlikely there would ever be any change, really. The thought made his heart sink. At least the other him had left him alone so far. He tried to concentrate on the guards' footsteps, but a sudden observation made him sit up straight.
There were no more footsteps.
"Morro! Psst!" Morro jumped at the sound of his name, lifting his head and opening his eyes out of reflex.
"Who's there?" He said aloud.
"It's Jay. Where are you?" The voice came from outside his cell, echoing down the hall.
"Ah… follow my voice." Morro stood up, steadying himself against the wall. "Are you alone?"
"Nope." A different voice – Kai – spoke up. "We left the Sensei, the Lloyds, Indigo, and one Nya back at Stiix."
"Indigo's alive?" The wind master said in amazement.
"Why wouldn't she be?"
"The base was flooded!"
"Oh yeah. The Nyas held the water back and got everyone to safety."
"So Bansha is safe too?"
"Yes, I'm fine." Bansha's voice echoed through his door.
"Thank God." A knock sounded on his door.
"This one yours?" Came Cole's voice.
"Yeah."
"Okay, stand back." He was in a corner, pretty far away from the door, he thought. Abruptly, there was a loud sound of metal ripping, then a deafening clang. He heard footsteps coming towards him, then a cool hand touched his arm.
"Bansha?" He asked uncertainly.
"Yes, it's me." She replied next to him. "So you are blind?"
"Yes."
"Can't see at all?" Cole asked.
"No."
"Huh. You can still follow us though, right?"
"As long as I can hold onto someone."
"Great. Now let's bust out some other prisoners, and-" Cole was interrupted by shouts echoing down the hall. "Uh oh."
"Don't let them get away! Cut them off!" His double's voice rang out down the hall way.
"Nope. Change of plans. Let's get out of here." Morro heard hurried footsteps, then Bansha tugged him forward, guiding him through the doorway and down the hall. He heard water splashing, and followed closer behind Bansha, though he knew she couldn't protect him if any came his way.
"Hi." Suddenly, a hand slipped into his free one, accompanied by his girlfriend's voice.
"Indigo?" He asked in surprise. "I thought you were back at Stiix."
"I snuck along. Shh."
"What the- Indigo!?" Kai sounded mad. "Why are you here?"
"I came to help save my boyfriend, duh. She replied, tightening her grip on his hand.
"Oh for- uuuugh. You are in so much trouble when we get out of here." Now Indigo and Bansha were both pulling him along, which was better because now he didn't have to worry about crashing into something. Finally, he heard Bansha say,
"There's stairs." And, two seconds later, he tripped on the first step. Fortunately, Indigo and Bansha caught him, and they lead him up the steep steps to a door, which he heard opened before being pulled through. "Don't go corporeal, you'll hit a wall." Bansha instructed, and he felt the sensation of passing through something. Then she let go of him, leaving him holding onto only Indigo.
"Woo, we're out!" Jay cheered.
"Not quite." Kai still sounded irritated. "We still need to get out of the city. But no dragons. Evil Morro could knock us out of the sky."
"Right." Jay agreed.
"Indigo," Kai started as the group began to hurry along. "You said you weren't going to sneak along."
"I did not. I said I wasn't going to insist on going along. Besides, if I had refused, you would've locked me up too."
"Wait… 'too'?" Morro interjected.
"Lloyd went kinda nuts when he was told he couldn't come and rescue you. He physically attacked Kai and kept ranting about how he was coming alone anyway, he had to chain him and lock him in jail to get him to snap out of it." Jay's voice was grave.
"I would've thought that would be enough to scare Indigo into submission, but no…" Kai muttered.
"Excuse you? 'Scare me into submission'?" Indigo scoffed. "If you think you can 'scare' me into doing anything, you've got another thing coming, bucko."
"Oh yeah? Well I-"
"Guys, cut it out." One of the Coles interrupted. "We'll deal with Indigo once we get back to Stiix. No arguing."
"Fine." Kai agreed.
"'Deal' with me…" Indigo muttered, but didn't comment further. Morro felt almost sick to his stomach. Not because of Indigo, but because of Lloyd. Something had to be really wrong. Was it him? Had his captured tipped him over the edge? As soon as he got back, he would have to talk to him. For now, he could only hope they made it out of the city without being caught.
TheDarknessReturn
Indigo lead Morro along, holding his hand tight as she followed the others. She knew she was in trouble. She didn't really care. After all, what could they do to her? She was a ghost, she could easily slip away if they tried to restrain her. Feeling a tug on her arm, she turned back towards Morro to see him stumbling to regain his balance after tripping over something.
She frowned slightly as she slowed to let him catch up. Poor Morro. He looked so strange. He stared straight ahead, his eyes wide as though straining to see something, and his normally pale-green irises were a dull grey. It was weird to see him looking so… lost. Abruptly, he stopped short, jerking her to a halt.
"Morro?" She said, confused.
"I hear something." He sounded uncertain. Suddenly, his eyes widened further. "Come on!" Without an explanation, he took off to the left, dragging Indigo with him. He was still much stronger than her, so she had no choice but to follow. Ignoring the shouts from the others for them to come back, Morro kept running through buildings and anything in his path. Finally, he crashed into a pile of deepstone crates, losing his grip on her hand and crashing to the ground.
"Morro!" Indigo, who managed to skid to a halt in time, knelt next to him, putting a hand on his shoulder as he pressed a hand to his side.
"Agh…" he groaned. "Stupid deepstone."
"Are you hurt?"
"Yeah. Running into things will do that."
"Badly?"
"I'll manage." He got to his knees. "Where are we?"
"No clue. Why'd you bolt like that?"
"Heard footsteps. Guard footsteps, lots of them. If Nya had to attack them, I didn't want us caught in the crossfire."
"Oh."
"Kinda got stabbed in the stomach by something. What'd I hit?"
"Pile of boxes."
"Of course. Boxes. At least it wasn't a wall, running full speed into a wall would've hurt."
"Not as much as this!" A voice yelled. As Indigo turned to see who had spoken, her eyes went wide at the sight of the stack of boxes falling towards them. Grabbing Morro by the wrist, she drained his energy to give herself a boost before jumping out of the way and dragging him with her. Letting him crumble to the ground, she whirled around to try to find their attacker, but what she saw made her mouth drop open in shock.
It was her.
it her
