Kai's P.O.V

Once we returned to our home realm, we walked into the old tea shop. I saw Zane on a table, chest panel open with Jay and Nya working on him.

"What are you doing?" Ali asked.

"Taking mud out of Zane's circuits," Jay sighed. "Lloyd pulled a prank and it eventually fired Zane."

"Where is the troublemaker?" I asked.

"Don't know, he disappeared afterwards," Nya replied. "Maybe I was a bit hard on the kid."

"I'm going to go and find him," I said.

I walked out into the backyard, only to see Lloyd slip over onto the other side of the fence. I cocked my head, walking towards him.

"Are you going to follow him?" someone asked.

"I was planning on it," I said.

"Ok," she said. "Im just going to warn you he feels really bad about what he did."

"I was guessing that," I sighed. "I am just going to make sure he doesn't get into trouble out there."

June shook her head and made her way to the door. I scaled the wall and landed on the trail. I saw Lloyd's footprints. I can follow them, but I shouldn't let him know he's being followed.

I followed him to the place Zane helps me with anger management. He was in awe of the beautiful scenery. I smiled at him. He slid down the slope to the lake. I stayed out of his line of sight.

"He seems to be fine," I told myself.

I became worried when he ran off down the beach. I ran after him, staying quiet. I smiled when I realized he was only saving a chipmunk from drowning. I watched for a couple minutes until he began following the chipmunks. I watched as he climbed the tree, the tallest in the whole forest, half way up. He was up there for several minutes. I saw about to walk away when someone jumped at me. I tried to scream and grab Lloyd's attention, but the masked man had a hand over my mouth. He then started choking me. I grabbed at his arm around my neck, but I couldn't do much.

"I was coming for greenie but you'll do to," the man said.

"Matt," I coughed.

"Liam, Aidan," Matt said. "Wait for greenie to climb down. Then knock him out before he can get to the others."

I struggled as Matt pulled me to my feet. He kept an arm around my neck. I was beginning to find it hard to breath. He dragged me with him. I dug my feet into the ground, trying to free myself. It didn't work that well. Let's just say I have a cut on my face now.

"What do you want with me?" I asked, huffing and puffing.

"We didn't want you," Matt replied."We wanted the green ninja, but you were interfering with our plans."

I was dragged into a black mini van. Matt tied some fabric over my mouth and tied my hands and legs together. Once he finished, I noticed out of the corner of my eye, three figures. One of them was being dragged along.

"We got him off guard Matt," Liam said.

"Why is he here?" Aidan asked, clearly angry about my presence.

"I caught him following greenie around," Matt told them."So I grabbed him and dragged him back here. We'll do the same to him as we do Lloyd."

I gulped at that. They strapped Lloyd into the backseat, beside me. His arms and legs were tied too. His mouth wasn't covered though.

Please, walk up Lloyd. For the sake of both of us.

June's P.O.V

It was getting late, almost dusk and neither Kai nor Lloyd had returned. I sat in the same tree Lloyd and I spoke in, but he was nowhere in sight.

"Hey! Anyone out here!" a voice cried out.

I knew who it was and slid down the tree, landing on the ground.

"Hey Nya," I replied, walking towards her. "Whats up?"

"Kai and Lloyd are missing," Nya said, clearly worried. "No one seems to know where they went."

"They went into the forest. Kai was following Lloyd," I explained. "Lloyd said he would be back for dinner and it's almost nightfall. I'm worried that they ran into trouble."

"You should have said something sooner," Nya yelled at me.

"Now I'm understanding why Lloyd left in the first place!" I yelled back. " You and Zane were yelling at him, making him feel bad so he left to clear his mind."

Nya stumbled backwards in realization. Her head hung low. She refused to make eye contact with me as tears formed in her eyes. I sighed.

"Nya, I didn't mean it like that," I started.

"No," she shook her head, "I should have thought about it before I did it. I overreacted and I feel bad."

"Let's get the others and we'll find them together," I said.

"Ok," Nya replied.

We walked back inside and I saw Ali and Cole speaking on the couch and Jay helping Zane get what was left of the mud off him. Ali and Cole turned to us.

"Couldn't find them," Ali sighed.

Nya shook her head. "June said Lloyd went for a walk in the forest and Kai followed him. She was getting worried herself."

"Lloyd said he would be back in a little while and before dinner. I think something happened to them," I explained.

"What are we waiting for," Cole said, springing to his feet.

We started walking out again to look when Nya stopped.

"Wait, what about Jay?" she asked.

I turned to her, "Nicki and Dash have it under control. I believe in them."

Nya smiled and nodded in agreement. We walked outside and Zane lead the way. We climbed over the wall, entering the forest. Ali suddenly became hesitant about walking. She wasn't walking. She stood about ten feet in front of Nya and I, not moving.

"Ali, what's wrong," I asked, approaching her.

"I can feel lots of struggle," she sighed. "I also know there were at least five people near here about an hour ago."
"Kai and Lloyd are two, but who are the others," Zane asked.

"Did you guys capture Linda's men?" Ali asked us.

"Now that I think about it, no, they escaped," Nya sighed in realization.

"So you mean that they are still roaming free!" Ali cried.

"I guess that's bad," I sighed.

Zane walked off the path a little bit. I followed him, curious what he was doing.

"I found something," he claimed.

I saw it was a small piece of fabric. Dark blue and black.

"Aidan," Ali mumbled.

"So, it was them," Nya commented.

"Affirmative," Zane said.

Ali suddenly spun around and took a fighting stance. I then heard rustling in the bushes.

"Are they still here?" I whispered.

"Nevermind," Ali said, relieved. "It's only a chipmunk."

He squeaked at Ali.

"What do you mean?" she asked it.

"What is she doing?" I asked in a whisper.

"No clue," Nya replied.

"My guess, she can talk to the chipmunk," Zane said.

We turned back to Ali.

"Guys, this chipmunk knows where Lloyd is," Ali said.

"How?" I asked.

"Lloyd helped him, so he brought Lloyd back to his nest," Ali explained. "Then he saw Lloyd get kidnapped moments later. Come on."

We ran after the little chipmunk. He bolted through the forest floor, faster than anyone I've ever seen. We arrived in a clearing, with no signs of life.

"This is where he was," Ali said to the chipmunk, who squeaked in response. "I see, thank you little chipmunk."

I watched it scurry back into the trees as fast as it came. I shrugged it off.

"Anyone see anything to help us?" Nya asked.

"Tire tracks," I said. "Going North towards….."

Everyone stared in horror. No one spoke a word. We were all too shocked to say anything.

"Torchfire Mountain."

Important Heads Up!

So I will hopefully update one more time fore this story before I leave on vacation. I will be gone for about two and a half weeks. I will keep typing on vacation, but I won't be able to post the chapters. Once I get back, I will most likely update a couple chapters. It will only be Elementalists and Secret Realm though since I'm planning on finishing Skybound in the next chapter of it. I will be coming home again on August 14th, which is a Sunday, and then the next day, I will be babysitting so we will see what happens. I may be able to update once or twice if I'm luck while on vacation, but from July 27 to August 14, don't plan on there being updates.

Again, I won't leave you for too long and I will return. I hope you enjoy and please be patient with my little break from updating. Thanks you and please REVIEW!
