Before the chapter starts I want eveyone to remember that Jay and Kai are the only ones who know what Charlie looks like. Bam! To the chapter you go!

Chapter 14

No One's P.O.V.

Lloyd stood looking at his arms with his hands on his hips pondering what to do now. 'Maybe I can bring him to a bedroom for better rest, God knows he needs it.'

He sighed, "Jay?" Lloyd asked hoping he would answer. The blue ninja didn't move or make a peep, which was strange since this is Jay here. "Jay?" Lloyd said and got on his knees put his hands on Jay's shoulders. Lloyd waited then stood after some time.

Someone cleared their throat and Lloyd quickly turned to the entryway where a man leaned against a wooden beam. He was covered in black clothing, the only other color was his hair, which was a dark brown.

"Sorry, can I help you?" Lloyd asked and the man casually crossed his arms, he eyed Lloyd down.

"Yes.. you can." The man spoke and his voice sent a chill down Lloyd spine. "A weapon shop ehh?"

"Oh no no, I don't run the place. It's my friend's shop, I just came to help him." Lloyd said and gestured to Jay.

"I am not interested in the weapons." Charlie smiled and Lloyd gulped and realized who the man truly was.

"C-Charlie..." Lloyd stuttered and the evil man chuckled.

Charlie put a hand on his forehead dramatically, "Ohhh.. my cover has been blown! What do I do!" Charlie made a serious face and dropped his hand. "Well sorry to ruin the fun but I have plans."

Lloyd stood in front of Jay and gritted his teeth. "What plans?"

Charlie smiled and crossed his arms again. "I would tell you but they are secret." Charlie stepped into the room more and Lloyd's exit was blocked. Lloyd bent down quickly and pushed his arms under Jay's. Lloyd pulled Jay to the other side of the shop and lied him down next to an anvil, he then ran to a wall and grabbed a basic sword. Charlie smirked, "You think that can stop me?!"

Charlie dropped his arms and cracked his knuckles. Lloyd cringed at the sound and held tight to the handle of the sword. Charlie charged Lloyd and he positioned the sword to block. The black clothed 'human' slid under the sword then stood face to face with Lloyd.

"Wow, to easy!" Charlie joked and Lloyd kneed his calf and kicked him away. Charlie stumbled back and Lloyd grinned at that. "Hmm alright then, perhaps I do have a challenge."

Charlie ran to Lloyd and the green ninja swung the sword down. Charlie closed his eyes and stopped the sword between his two fingers. He opened his eyes and threw the sword behind him. The young blond backed up and his back hit the wall, beginning to become more and more frightened with each step the dark haired man took.

"How did you do that?!" Lloyd shouted in surprise and Charlie smiled. The sword behind him had its blade pierced into the wooden floor.

"My old friend was the First Master of Spinjitzu, he taught me a couple things. I really thought we were friends but when I asked for power he refused and said silly things about how I can't control it." Charlie chuckled at himself, "I want to show the world what I had to go through, the feeling of weakness and uselessness. Power is a precious thing really, and I happen to notice you have a lot of it."

Lloyd gulped and felt drops of sweat trickle down his forehead and temples. Charlie stuffed his hand in his pocket and pulled out a sack full of powder. Charlie covered his fingers with it and Lloyd took notice to the suspicious work. The teen kicked Charlie in the stomach and at the same time Charlie flung the powder into Lloyd's face. The evil doer smirked and held his stomach, stepping back from Lloyd.

Lloyd's pupils shrank and he held a hand to his mouth, his throat became scratchy. He started to cough and his lunged began to ache. Lloyd looked to Jay lying on the floor and coughed violently. His mind started to fuzz and he turned to Charlie then back to Jay, Lloyd fell to his knees.

"Jay!" Lloyd shouted at the top of his lungs and fell to his side coughing uncontrollably. Charlie breathed out closing his eyes. He loved to hear the boy suffering, andybody suffering at that. The same powder Lloyd breathed in was the same powder that was sprinkled on Charlie's lips. The trick was not to lick your lips and breath through your mouth. The poor soul he kissed died from it, her fragile body couldn't hold back the poison in the powder. Lloyd looked up at Jay, "..Jay..." Lloyd groaned out, chest burning.

Lloyd's headed rested on the ground and his breathing slowed, beginning to weeze. Charlie grabbed Lloyd and threw him onto his shoulder. Charlie looked to Jay, the blue ninja opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling.

"L-Lloyd?" Jay called and Charlie smirked. His eyes traveled from the ceiling to Charlie. Jay gasped and went to sit up but Charlie pressed his foot on Jay chest. "You.."

"Can't stay to chat sadly, I have plans to work on." Charlie said and Jay opened his mouth a gape. Charlie grinned to Jay then kicked his head against the anvil. Jay was again unconscious and dark haired man fixed his grip on the teen. "Let's get a move on shall we?"

Charlie walked out of the shop leaving Jay behind and the one sword still stabbed into the floor. Leaving the shop with unexplainable questions, as well as a ninja that will feel guilty about not being able to protect the chosen one.

At the Bounty

Nya had watched the map and continued to think of reasons why Lloyd's power signature never showed. The power signature of Jay's recently moved all the way from the shores to a village Nya knew all too well. She had informed the others and she also gained information. Zane had explained what he saw in the room when he barged to Kai's aid. Jay was choking Kai! It was unbelievable! Kai still hasn't woken up, but we don't blame him. He never got the proper rest he needs. The first time he tried to rest Lloyd had a shadow over him then Jay woke up. Everything was going weird.

Nya held tight to the wheel and turned her head to see the map again. She noticed Jay's power signature flash on and off and constant beeping along with. A single flash of Lloyd's power signature and disappear once again. Jay's flashed on and dimmed a little but visible. Nya was very confused and her worry grew worse. She steady the Bounty to go smoothly then ran to the microphone.

"Guys, something strange just happened." Nya announced and Cole's voice spoke back.

"On our way!" Cole shouted and she shut the microphone off. She grabbed the wheel and Zane and Cole ran in. "What's the problem?"

"I am not sure myself but Lloyd and Jay's power signatures were flashing on the map. Lloyd's was never on to begin with, but flashed on once. Jay's flashed on and off and now it's weak, I'm worried that something happened to them." Nya explained and Zane put a hand to his chin.

"I do not recall this happening before." Zane pondered and Nya looked back to them.

Cole sighed, "Nya I think you should get some rest."

Nya grew upset, "What! Do you not believe me, because I know what I saw!"

Cole walked to the wheel and placed a hand on it. "I believe you Nya, but you still haven't had sleep in a while. Zane and I will take over, and if you want we'll wake you when we get there." Cole suggested. Even though Nya doesn't act like it much, when it came to family she can have Kai's fiery temper.

Nya stepped back from the wheel and sighed, knowing he was right. Zane looked at the map and they began to take care of things. Nya smiled softly and walked to the door. "Okay.." Nya whispered just enough for them to hear her then yawned. She then left to her room for the well deserved sleep she needed.
