Hey guys! Sorry I havent updated in forever... heads up this chapter is bad! But amyways here we go...

Standing or much rather hanging against the wall was once again Kai. He was in even in worse condition then when they had last saw him in the video. He had a black eye and many cuts and gashes on his face and body. Cole wrinkled his nose in disgust as the metallic smell of blood hit his nostrils. Cole's eyes widened in shock when Kai slowly lifted his head.

How could he still be conscious after all this? he thought.

Cole opened his eyes and for the hundredth time in his life Cole was relieved to see those auburn eyes he had come to know staring back at him.

Cole's eyebrows knitted together in worry when he look closer into Kai's eyes. Kai's eyes had always been so bright, filled with hope and determination. But now his eyes were dull. These eyes did not belong to his best friend, the red ninja, the guy that never took NO for an answer, but were the eyes of a lonely, lost child that had given up all hope of being rescued.

"Kai? " Cole asked.

Kai gave no response. Cole got out his scythe to break the chains bound around Kai's wrists. He raised it anpve his head…. But before he could strike he came to an abrupt stop. Cole had watched Kai who had flinched and squinched his eyes shut tight.

Tears filled Cole's eyes. Kai thought that he was going to hurt him. The enemy had taken Kai… his BEST friend and turned him into a complete stranger who no longer trusted his own brother.

Cole shuffled forward. Kai look up fear and distrust shining bright in his eyes. Cole reached over and instead of using his scythe he broke both chains with his bare hands. He caught Kai just before he fell. Kai made no sound and did not struggle. Cole slung him over his shoulder being cautious of his injuries.

He held up his watch and pressed a hidden button on it.

"Cole here come in " he spoke. "Jay here, Nya here, Zane here, Lloyd here." the others answered. "I found him meet me outside at the entrance. " He ordered. The others responded with an Ok.

The line cut. He shuddured as he felt setting wet and warm run down his back knowing it was not his own but Lai's blood.

He hurriedly made his way to the entrance. He burst out the entrance of the building making no effort to slow down. He ran towards the others who were conversing in a small circle. They heard him approaching and ranctowards him Nya in the lead.

"Kai." she called.

Cole rushed past them.

"No time to waste… Kai needs medical attention now!"

He called behind the his shoulder. The others exchanged worried glances. They followed not far behind each silently praying that Kai would be ok..

Well there you have it. I know it was bad. Anyways please review and use some constructive criticism! Thanks! Until next time!
