Jeanette laid on the sandy ground. Her Ninja suit even more ripped as she was knocked out, the left side of her face was black and blue.

"There's Jen!" Kai said, starting forward, but Wu grabbed him and pulled him back.

"Wait!"

"Wait on what?" Kai demanded, looking at him. "Lloyd will kill, all of us, if we don't return home without Jeanette!" He turned and started to move, but this time Jay grabbed him and pulled him back.

"What if it's a trap?" The blue Ninja asked with worry. "We need to make a plan." Kai turned to him completely.

"A trap? Look at our friend!" He points at Jeanette. "She needs shade, she needs water! When has any of our plans on right? We make a plan, we get there, then all hell breaks loose!"

"What about the Dragon Armor?" Zane asked.

"Screw the Dragon Armor!" Cole said. "We need to get to Jen, and Faith now!"

Kai turned. "I'm going!" With that he took off running, Cole right behind him.

"Agh! This is suicide!" Jay cried, before he and the others ran after the two.

"Jen!" Kai cried as he and Cole fall to their knees in front of her. "Check her pulse!" He told Cole quickly. "Is she ok?"

"Yeah, but just barely!" Cole sighed, he pulled her into his arms and turned to the others.

Faith was mumbling something, Wu took off Faith's hat to see her gagged. "Are you ok?" He asked pulling off the gag.

"You should not have come!" She told them. "It's a trap!" No sooner had she said that, Hunters came springing out of the ground, and soon the Ninja were surrounded.

"I told you it was a trap, Kai!" Jay threw down his weapon.

That night, the Hunters were standing around a large fire. While the Ninja were chained to two tall towers.

Jeanette slowly awoke.

"That's ok, I'm watching my figure anyway." She heard Jay, and she slowly lifted her head up.

"Ninja, is that you?" She asked, her voice soft and raspy.

"JEN!" The team cried, happily. "Are you ok?" Kai asked. "How bad did they hurt you?"

"More importantly, did they touch you?" Cole corrected the question.

"They got close." Faith answered for Jeanette. "If I had not intervined."

Instantly, all the Ninja minus Jeanette started to struggle against the vines.

"Those Hunters are gonna be dragon food, when I get through with them!" Kai yelled, struggling hard against the chains.

"I'm sorry." Wu apologized. "I thought I was doing the right thing." He looked down. "But I've only made it worse."

"Your heart is pure." Faith told him. "But this realm is cruel! And I'm sorry that you had to find this place."

"Don't sweat it little Wu." Kai told him. "We've seen worse. Any moment, Zane will have cut through these vines, and we'll be out of here."

"Ah, I cannot cut through these vines, Kai." Zane turned to look at him. "Perhaps there is another alternitve you were thinking of?"

Kai groaned. "Zane, I'm the good looks of the team. You're the brains!"

"I thought I was the looks!" Jay cried.

"No, your the annoying one!" Cole grinned.

"What are you?" Jay asked him. "The party pooper?"

"Actually, I believe Jeanette has the looks." Kai said. "And Mr. Party Pooper to you."

"Har har, hair gel!" Cole said, and the boys laughed.

"How can you all make jokes in a time like this?" Wu asked them. "Jen is hurt."

"You got this one Jay?" Kai asked, looking at him.

Jeanette fell back into darkness.

XxXxXxXxXxXx

"So! While Lloyd is doing his hero thing." Kai said as the Ninja panted the walls in a room inside the Airjitzu temple. "While we get stuck with a grouchy mama bear, who likes to bark out orders." He grumped as he dunked his pant brush in a pant can.

"Jen's not that bad Kai." Jay said with a smirk. "You just don't know how to avoid the angry mama bear!" He grinned widely.

Cole rolled his eyes "And that's why she made you do all the chores!"

Jay opened his mouth, but paused. "Hold the phone." He looked around the room. "Where is Zane? Wasn't he suppose to be helping us?"

"Jen had a craving for ice cream with gummy bears." Kai answered.

"That sounds good!" Jay exclaimed, he paused again. "What about Nya?"

"She and Zane are not on Jen's radar, like the rest of us are." Cole answered. "And lucky for the Green Machine, he gets to avoid it!"

Jay turned and picked up his pant brush again. "Oh." He dunked it with a thick coat of pant, just as Nya came into the room from behind him.

"Hey guys!" She greeted, and Jay turned - a thick coat of pant on his brush in hand, smacking her in the side of the face.

Jay eeped, his eyes wide as Kai and Cole both froze. Nya calmly turned around, she picked up a pantroller, rolled it in paint, then rolled it up and down Jay's face.

Soon, a pant war began. As soon as the whole room was covered in different colors of pant, along with the team.

A very pregnante Jeanette slowly walked into the room, being helped by Zane. And the four pant colored Ninja instantly stopped and looked at Jeanette.

"My, my." She painted, one hand clutching her stomach while the other clutched Zane's hand.

"The baby is coming." Zane answered in a calm voice, and the four Ninja started to panic.

"What!?"

"Now!?"

"How far away is Lloyd!?"

"Plug it back in!"

Everyone looked at Jay.

"Can someone slap him for me?!" Jeanette asked with a growl.

Cole picked up a bucket of pant, and dumped it on his best friend.

XxXxXxXxXxXx

The memory faded from Jeanette as she slowly started to wake up.

"You are the annoying one!" Wu said. Cole, Kai, and Zane broke into laughter, soon Jay joined in. "Did ... did I do that right?" Wu asked.

"Yeah." Jay said.

"A joke?" Wu smiled.

Iron Baron walked up to them. "What is so funny!?" He demanded.

"What is funny, is you giving them this food!" Faith told him. "To cover the taste of your lies!"

Iron Baron laughed. "Well I'd rather be eating food with them!" He points to the Hunters. "Then stuck on a pole with you!" He points at Faith.

The Hunters laugh.

"He only cares for himself!" Faith tries to tell them. "If he gets the Armor, he'll have no use for you anymore! Incept to kiss his hands!"

The Hunters instantly stopped and look startled.

Iron Baron laughs. "Let me ask them, Heavy Metal." He turns back to the Hunters. "How can you believe anything she says? When she hid behind a mask!?"

The Hunters quickly sided with Iron Baron.

"It's true, diffantly not what I was expecting!" Daddy No Legs said.

"It's he who is the fraud!" Faith cried. "He forced me to wear the helmet! Just as he forced you to be his slaves!"

The Hunters again looked shocked, then started to talk to themselves loudly.

"We have all heard Baron's stories, about how he fought an army of Oni!" Faith continued. "Well look around! We are on Oni land! And yet, has anyone seen a single one!?"

The Hunters all mumbled and look at each other.

"No, you have not." Faith said. "Because the stories are just that! Stories! The Oni left these lands long ago! Yet, he keeps you in fear of them. His power over you is built on lies! Brave hunters die so he can get the dreaded blade! How do we know it wasn't him who took their lives!?"

The Hunters all started whispering, starting to believe her.

XxXxXxXxXxXx

Jeanette sat in a wheelchair as Jay (who was still covered in pant) raced down a hallway through the hospital. "Jay, slow down!" She cried. "Lloyd's not hear yet!"

"But your baby is!" He came to a stop at the desk, letting go of the wheelchair. The wheelchair flew down the hall.

"JAYYYYY!" She screamed as she clutched the armrests of the wheelchair as it raced down the hall, luckily it was empty.

Cole, Kai, and Zane ran after the wheelchair, as Nya gave a glare at Jay.

"Uhh, oops?" The blue Ninja said weakly as he looked at her.

Misako hurried up. "Where's Jen?" She asked concerned.

"JAY WALKER!" Jeanette screamed out, and Jay eeped quickly hiding behind Misako as Cole pushed the wheelchair back over to the desk Kai and Zane standing on both sides of the wheelchair.

XxXxXxXxXx

"That's not fair! You bullied them!" Jay yelled as the memory faded from Jeanette as she started to wake up once more.

"I said, not another word!" Iron Baron yelled, turning on the tower to tortcher Jay, Faith, Wu, and Jeanette. Wu suddenly broke free, and broke Jeanette free too. He jumped down and quickly and easily caught her when she dropped.

When Wu stood up, he was an adult. Wu turned and gently laid Jeanette down, then stood in front of her protectivly.

"Get him!" Iron Baron ordered. Wu easily fought off a Hunter, the hat the Hunter was wearing flew up and landed on his head. He pointed the weapon at Baron.

"You will let my Ninja go! Or else!"

"Or else what?" Iron Baron demanded as the rest of the Hunters approached.

"Or else I will reclaim my father's armor!" Wu threatened. "And ask his dragon to end your rule! I am the son of the First Spinjitzu Master! And this is my home!" He used the weapon like a pom pom.

"Alright! Master Wu's back baby!" Jay cheered.

"One more growth, and he'll be back to old Wu." Zane said.

XxXxXxXxXx

So? What do you think?
