Luke and the others had now returned to Josh's house and had settled down for the night, but Luke hadn't been asleep long before he was woken by Sanjay, who was having another nightmare.
"Sanjay" Kathy said as she ran up to him.
Sanjay turned to face her.
"Oh hi" he replied.
"I've been looking everywhere for you, I was staring to get worried" Kathy told him.
"Relax, I'm all right" Sanjay answered.
"But what happened to you last night" Kathy asked.
Sanjay simply shrugged his shoulders.
"I took off," he answered.
"But you didn't say anything" Kathy replied.
"Yeah like I'd want to stick around after that," Sanjay told her.
Kathy looked shocked.
"What" She simply said.
"You've got a lot to learn about men kido, but then I guess you proved that last night" Sanjay continued.
"But I thought" Kathy began.
"What that we'd live happily ever after, sorry world doesn't work that way," he added.
"But I love you" Kathy told him as tears formed in her eye's.
"Arr is little Cathy going to cry" Sanjay mocked.
"You're a monster Sanjay Hawkins" Kathy sobbed.
She then turned and ran out of the room.
"Kathy no" Sanjay called out as he shot up in bed.
"Hey it's ok, just another nightmare" Luke said.
Sanjay held his head in his hands.
"Oh Luke, what did I do" Sanjay asked.
"None of it was your fault, it was that thing inside of you" Luke told him.
Sanjay turned to him; Luke could see tears running down his face.
"I'm not sure how much longer I can take this," he answered.
"The nightmares will pass in time" Luke replied.
Luke put his hand on Sanjay's shoulder.
"We'll get though this together me, Josh, Danny, Jay, we'll always be here for you" Luke continued.
Sanjay gave Luke a small smile.
"I know, thanks Luke" Sanjay replied.
"Anytime" Luke added as he retuned the smile.
Just then the two friends heard a window smash.
"Josh" Luke said almost immediately.
Luke then quickly went over to him and woke him and Danny.
"Josh wake up" Luke whispered as he shock his friend.
"Luke what theā¦" Josh moaned.
"We've got company," Luke told him.
Josh was now wide-awake and jumped out of bed, just as the door burst open.
"Take them," a voice ordered as a 3 ninjas ran into the room.
But then spike appeared out of nowhere and took down the ninjas.
"We better get you lot out of here" spike told them.
They wasted no time and quickly headed into the hall, but more ninjas were waiting.
"I'll hold them off, go" Spike told them.
Josh nodded and turned to Luke and Danny.
"This way quickly" the teenager said as he led his friends outside.
But as Luke and the others left the house another group of ninjas appeared.
"Now what" Sanjay asked.
But before he got an answer Josh's dad appeared with Zack and Jay.
"Leave my son alone" Joe yelled.
The ninjas attacked but Joe pulled out a staff and began to fight the ninjas with Zack, Danny, and Josh's help, together the ninjas were no match for them.
"Your gonna have to do better than that" Zack said as he took down one of the ninjas.
But Luke then saw another ninja on the roof about to drop down behind Josh.
"Josh behind you" Luke warned.
But it was too late; as josh turned the ninja jumped from the roof and knocked him to the ground.
"Josh" Joe shouted as he ran over to his son and swung his staff at the ninja.
The ninja ducked and grabbed josh's pendent from around his neck and leaped back onto the roof, the ninja then whistled and disappeared into the night with the others.
"You ok" Luke asked as he helped Josh up.
Josh nodded.
"I think so, but he took my pendent" Josh answered.
"Why would they want that?" Jay asked.
"Because like Alex's it's part of a key" Joe replied.
"It's part of a key," Danny repeated.
"Yes the vault key to the pirate kings treasure," Spike said as he appeared.
"Which means we now know who we are dealing with?" Joe continued.
Spike began to shake his head.
"But it can't be him it just can't" Spike almost shouted.
"You know very well there's only one other person alive who knows about the vault key," Joe explained.
"Who" Josh asked.
"My older brother Kai" spike added.
Foxily Island 25 years ago.
An 8-year-old spike quickly ran through a house looking for somewhere to hide.
"Coming ready or not" Kyle lee's voice shouted.
Spike quickly ran into his fathers study, he didn't want to be the 1st one his twin brother found he'd never hear the end of it.
Spike quickly dived under his father's desk and sat there listening for his brother's footsteps, but then his back pressed against something that pushed into the desk.
Suddenly a bookcase in the study slid back making the boy jump away from the desk, Spike then turned to the bookcase and could see an alcove had now appeared.
Spike slowly got up and walked over to the alcove where a glass case sat on a small table, inside was a golden metal dish with strange writing around the edge.
"What about you doing in here" A voice asked.
Spike turned to see a 16-year-old boy standing in the doorway.
"I'm sorry Kai, it just opened, please don't tell dad" Spike pleaded.
"Conner relax, your not in trouble" Kai said as he walked over to spike.
Kai then saw the metal dish in it's case.
"I bet you want to know what this is," Kai asked.
"Is it something to do with the pirate king, that's pirate code around the edge isn't it?" The 8-year-old asked as his eyes lit up.
Kai began to smile.
"You always were the smart one of the family," Kai told him.
"So what is it" Spike asked.
"First you have to promise me not to tell anyone not even Kyle" Kai continued.
Spike nodded excitedly.
"I'll be our little secret, I love secrets" Spike replied almost jumping up and down on the spot.
Kai smiled once again.
"This dish is part of a key which opens the vault of the pirate kings treasure," Kai explained.
"Oh wicked, so where's the rest of it" Spike asked.
"One of them is right here," Kai answered.
Spike's excitement grew as his brother pulled out a half moon pendent that was around his neck.
"Cool" Spike said as he looked at the pendent.
"Dad has the other around his neck, the pendants join together and fit into the dish to form the vault key" Kai added.
"Does anyone know where the vault is?" Spike asked.
Kai shook his head.
"No, but maybe someone will find it someday, the pirate king did leave behind a map after all" Kai answered.
"Wouldn't it be cool if we were the ones who found the it" Spike said.
"Yeah it would, but maybe some secrets are better left where they are" Kai replied.
Kai then slid back the bookcase and turned to spike.
"Now lets find you a really cool hiding place shall we," he said with a grin.
Meanwhile back in the present day the ninjas had returned to their base, where the two men from the docks waited.
"You failed," one of the men told the ninjas who was knelt before him.
"Yes sir, we were unable to get the boy, however we managed to retrieve the pendent," the ninja explained.
"Then you better hope our master will be satisfied with this" the 2nd man replied.
He then turned to the other man.
"Take the pendent to master Kai at once" he continued.
The other man nodded.
"And what of the boy" he asked.
The 2nd man clenched his right hand and two steel blades came out of his sleeve.
"I shall deal with that myself," he answered.
To Be Continued.
