I know I said it would be like a month, but I had a really bad day yesterday, so I'm posting a new chapter. Hope you enjoy!
I don't own anything.
-Normal P.O.V.-
Lloyd, Jay, Cole and Zane reached the bounty in half an hour. Nya was on the deck ready to greet them when she noticed that her brother was gone. "Where's Kai?" Nya asked the remaining ninja.
Cole responded, "After we all got captured, we barely made it out. While we were running from the castle, they got Kai. He was the one they were after so when they got him they forgot all about us."
"What did they look like?"
"Well," Jay answered, "There was a boy of about fifteen years old that looked almost exactly like Kai, but with a different hairstyle and their was a woman who was their 'aunt' that had green eyes and brown hair."
"What were their names?"
"Kyle and Emily," Zane replied.
Nya's eyes widened, "We have to find him now!" Nya started to run toward the control room and started searching for her brothers elemental signature.
The ninja looked confused, "Nya," Zane asked, "What is going on?"
Nya sighed and turned to face them, "Kai is not my actual brother. He's more like an 'adoptive' brother."
"Why did you lie to us?" Cole asked.
"I only learned about it last week. Kai was going to tell you guys soon, but apparently the past has caught up with him."
"Do you know what happened?" Zane asked.
"Not entirely, just that he was orphaned and came to live with us because our fathers were friends and he was the only one he trusted," Nya looked back to the screen when it beeped. Nya smiled, "Got him!" Her smile slipped when she saw where he was, "We need to get him out now!" Nya started steering the Bounty towards the castle.
"Why are we going back the way we came from?" Jay asked.
"It's where Kai is and he is the only one who knows what is going on," Nya speed up the bounty and we were there in ten minutes. They were parked far enough away from the castle that they didn't see them and it wouldn't take long for them to get back. "What's the plan?" Nya looked at Lloyd.
"Do we have a map of the place?" Lloyd asked.
"Right here," Nya pulled it up on the screen.
We all were studying it when Cole said, "There!" While pointing at a secret door, "We can sneak in there, find Kai, and get out without much trouble."
"Zane, stay here and get ready to patch Kai up," Lloyd said. Zane nodded his head and left to get the infirmary ready, "Cole and Jay you are going to come with me to get Kai out of there."
"NINJAGO!" Cole, Jay and Lloyd yelled as they left the bounty. They made into the castle with no trouble, but it took at least twenty minutes to find Kai.
"What makes you think I'm going to tell you?!" Kai yelled. When they peaked their heads in they saw Kai chained to the wall with Kyle and Emily standing in front of him with a whip in Emily's hand.
"Because if you don't," Emily said early calm, "You will get punished," Emily cracked the whip in the air.
Kai smiled, "You can't kill me though."
"Yes we can," Kyle reasoned snidely.
"I'm the only one who knows where it is and how to get to it." Kyle growled and punched Kai in the face. Kai slowly faced him, "You have a very weak punch."
Kyle growled again and was about to kick Kai when Emily held him back, "He's right. We need him alive," She paused, "But we can still hurt him."
Emily flipped him around and hit his back with the whip at least five times. Kyle smiled like it was the best thing in the world to hear his brother scream in pain. Once Emily stopped Kyle said, "Next time think about what you say and do," Then he left with Emily.
Once they were gone for five minutes Kai yelled, "Finally!" And snapped the melted chains away.
Lloyd opened the door as Cole and Jay ran up to him, "Can you walk?" Cole asked.
Kai looked at his leg, "I don't think so."
"Alright then," Cole said and picked him up bridal style, "Let's go!" Lloyd took the front with Cole and Kai in the middle and Jay at the end.
They just reached the edge of the forest when they heard a yell, "HE'S ESCAPED! HURRY HE COULDN'T HAVE GOTTEN FAR!"
They just kept running with no sign of pursuit. They reached the Bounty and Jay yelled, "Nya take off!" As he went to the command center and Cole and Lloyd took Kai to the infirmary where Zane was waiting. When they reached the infirmary Kai was already unconscious, so Zane slowly started clean and wrap Kai's wounds. An hour later Kai woke up, but didn't say anything.
Two hours later Nya and Jay decided they were far enough away. So, they parked the Bounty and went to the infirmary. Kai was sitting up with his back wrapped, leg bandaged and his arm receiving the last stitch. Zane tied it off and wrapped it the cut.
"So," Kai broke the silence, "What do you want to know?"
"Do you know where the fire heart is?" Lloyd asked.
"I only know how to find it."
"Then how do you know that it's real?" Zane asked.
"I've seen it," Kai looked like he might cry, "My father hid it somewhere and told me a riddle to where I would find it. That happened the day before he died."
No one said anything for a minute until Zane asked, "If you don't mind, would you please tell us how your parents died?"
Kai looked at his lap for a few seconds then looked up and said, "My father was killed by one of Kyle and Emily's soldiers by an arrow. My mother was killed by Emily, who used a fireball. I saw them both die with my own eyes on my fifth birthday."
"I'm sorry."
"It's not your fault."
"Could you tell us the full story of what happened that day?" Lloyd asked.
Kai nodded slowly, "I was woken by them trying to break down the front door, so I went to find my mom and dad to find out what was going on. When I found them I sat on my mother's lap without saying anything, too scared to ask. When we got the news that they were coming, my father ordered the five remaining flame warriors to protect me with their lives. We bid my father goodbye and as the secret passage door closed I saw the arrow enter my father's heart killing him instantly. My mother and I escaped and the flame warriors protected me from the shadows as Emily came. Luckily we were across the bridge. I was able to get away, but I looked back when I reached the forest and saw my mother get consumed by a fireball. I ran for hours. I finally passed out when I was in the Birchwood forest. I was found by…"
