Chapter 2-
Once they got in front of Jack's house they all jumped off Dojo and he shrank back to his small size. They stood out in front of the gates as Kimiko put on the Shroud of Shadows and the Jet Bootsu.
"Good luck," Clay and the others wished her as she went.
Having been there twice she knew exactly where to find Jack's lair in the basement.
As she silently climbed down the stairs she heard the sound of two voices. She recognized them as Katnappe and Jack's voices.
Good he's down there, She thought.
She continued down and rounded the corner she saw what looked to be Katnappe and Jack. Katnappe was bent over the work bench as Jack sat on the bench simply watching her.
Kimiko realized that Katnappe was working on the robot.
WHAT? she thought in complete confusion but she listened in to try and hear better.
"OUCH!" Katnappe hissed as one of the wires sparked and shocked her, "Explain to me again why I'm doing this?" She wined.
"Because I can't," the other person said.
"You're a robot I don't see why you just can't fix this damn thing!" Katnappe hissed.
"I can't fix robots because that's not in my programming," the robot like Jack said, "He never uploaded any of those files into me."
"So now I'm stuck fixing these damn machines, CB!" Katnappe said and glared at him. CB? thought Kimiko, the ChameleonBot! "Even with these stupid blueprints I can't understand it!" Katnappe hissed on. "Me fix a fucking robot!" She snorted.
"Sorry," CB said.
"How is Jack?" she sighed, as the wires sparked again. This time she back in time not to get shocked.
"He was 'fine' the last time I checked," CB answered.
"When was that?" she asked.
"It was a while ago," CB answered.
"You know what can happen in that amount of time frame!" Katnappe hissed angrily at him.
"Yes!" CB yelled back.
"Then you'd better go check on him again or something bad could happen, again," Kimiko yelled. What does she mean by again? Kimiko thought
"Point taken I'm going," CB jumped off the table and started to leave.
Good he'll lead me right to Jack, Kimiko thought.
CB walked up the stairs and down the hall and into a room as Kimiko followed.
Kimiko slid in the room just as CB closed the door. The instant she got inside she realized where she was. It was Jack's room. Everything in here was morbidly dark. The walls were black and the light was dimmed. All his furniture was black as well.
Memories consume
Like opening the wound
I'm picking me apart again
You all assume
I'm safe here in my room
Unless I try to start again
"Boss," CB said, bending over the figure lying on his stomach in the bed.
Jack looked like a complete mess and paler than usual.
"Go away," Jack sighed and tried to shoo him out.
"You didn't eat," CB said as he saw the plate on the ground at the foot of the bed had an uneaten sandwich on it. "You haven't eaten in three days how is it that you're not hungry?"
I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
Cuz inside I realize
That I'm the one confused
"I'm not okay," Jack sighed "I'm not eating anything and for the last time, don't call me boss you know I hate it."
"Boss, please eat," CB said biting his lip, ignoring once again Jack's comment not to call him boss.
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I know it's not all right
So I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit tonight
Just then Wuya came flying through the wall.
"Jack, a Shen-gong-wu has activated!" Wuya yelled, "let's go."
"Is that supposed to motivate me," Jack said flatly, "cause it doesn't. Like I told you before I'm not going. Take Katnappe she does you more good than I do."
"Shut up and let's go! I'm tired over your mopping," Wuya yelled angrily at him. Jack said nothing. "Jack, let's go!"
"Why should I?" Jack said and stared somberly at her, "I always lose, I'm not any good to you."
Clutching my cure
I tightly lock the door
I try to catch my breath again
I hurt much more
Than anytime before
I have no options left again
Wuya grumbled angrily and floated closer to his head.
CB hit her and she moved back away from her.
Wow, the chameleonbot can hit Wuya? Kimiko thought.
"Watch your hands you incessant piece of scrap metal!" Wuya yelled at him angrily.
"I'm really scared now," CB said and rolled his eyes, "Leave Jack alone your not helping."
"Why don't you take CB with you if you want me so bad," Jack said.
I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
Cuz inside I realize
That I'm the one confused
"No," Wuya said agitatedly.
"Well, why don't you discuss it with Katnappe then," Jack said, "Or take CB with you and leave me alone." Jack yelled angrily.
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So, I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit tonight
"Fine, Scrap Metal let's go," Wuya said angrily as she turned to leave.
"I'm not scrap metal," CB said as he followed her.
I'll paint it on the walls
Cuz I'm the one at fault
I'll never fight again
and this is how it ends...
Well now' s as good of time as any, Kimiko thought and left her place in the room and wandered over to Jack lying on the bed.
end chapter 2
