Kai sat in a cell, his hands chained beside him. Next to him, he could hear Jay's soft whimpers as the blue ninja slept, having constant nightmares. He should have been sleeping to, but he couldn't. It wasn't that he just didn't want to, the constant nightmares that haunted him kept him awake and, at one point, alert. Now, his exhaustion kept trying to put him back to sleep, but the fear of another nightmare kept him awake. They were just too much to handle.

Kai was snapped from his thoughts when the sound of footsteps echoed around him. He turned and kicked Jay lightly. Jay woke up, panting and sweating as he looked around. Of course, Jay had been having on of those nightmares that Kai was afraid of. He just wanted to sleep, so he put up with them.

"Someone's coming," Kai whispered.

Jay looked up as the door opened, revealing Zane. Only it wasn't their Zane. He had been hacked and was being control by the Overlord, with no signs of his old self to the other two captured ninja. It only caused everything to hurt more for them.

"Master wants a word with you," Zane pointed at Kai.

Kai didn't speak, letting Zane undo his chains and pull his to his feet. He brought Kai towards the door, and Kai cast a glance at Jay. He was slowly drifting off again, and Kai smiled.

"Move it," Zane shoved Kai out the door.

Kai stumbled for a second then caught his balance. Zane lead him down the dungeon hallway to an elevator. It was the only way in and out, and you needed to have an ID Card to access it. Kai stood in the corner as Zane scanned his card and punched the button for the 100th level. Then the elevator shot up. If it a first time, Kai would have been terrified, but he had been up and down it multiple times. He didn't know how many times, or how long he and Jay had been trapped there. Everything was fused together with no sense of time.

Kai stepped forwards as the door opened and Zane forced him out of the elevator. Before him was his captor; the Overlord. Just one part of him was different, one that Kai would never be able to adjust to.

"Welcome back, Kai," he smiled. "How have you been?"

"You should know," Kai spat.

"Now, now, let's not let that temper get the best of us, shall we," the Overlord grinned.

Kai felt a shock in his arm and winced. Zane pulled a taser back, keeping it ready for when it was needed again. Kai knew if he did anything to step out of place, it would come for him.

"So, do you know why I asked for your presence?" the Overlord taunted.

"Because you want to kill me?" Kai guessed, looking for something logical and wanting his suffering to end.

"Oh no, no, no," the Overlord laughed. "I need you alive for what I have planned."

Kai watched the Overlord walked over to a small glass chamber. With a nod of his head, Zane took Kai by the arm and lead him over to where the Overlord stood. This was the closest Kai had ever been to him when he wasn't being tortured.

"Do you know what this is?" the Overlord asked.

"Yeah," Kai frowned.

"Do you know what I plan on doing with it?" he asked.

"No," Kai replied.

In a split second, the chamber door was thrown open as Kai was shoved inside it. He spun around as the door closed and locked him inside. His hands hit the glass door, his amber eyes showing how terrified he was.

"Don't worry, child," the Overlord chidded. "I don't intend to hurt you yet. Only use you for my needs."

"What do you want from me?" Kai cried. "Why are you doing this?"
"It's not what I want with you, but with the elements," the Overlord told him. "I want the Golden Power, and I cannot obtain that on my own. I need you and your friends elements."
"You're going to take my power?" Kai asked.

"Not quite," the Overlord smiled. "I need all four elements of Fire, Lightning, Earth and Ice combined to create the Golden Powers, as well as a way to extract it from another being, a mortal being."
Kai's stomach twisted when he realized what the Overlord was saying, what he was planning.

"You're going to take their powers, give them to me to create the golden powers, then steal the golden powers from me," Kai said.

"My, you are smart under that temper," the Overlord grinned.

"You can't do this," Kai pleaded.
"What's stopping me?" the Overlord taunted.

"You don't have Cole," Kai told him. "He's still out there with the rest of the team."
"And your sister, correct?" the Overlord smirked.

"What did you do to her?" Kai snapped.
"Nothing, nothing," the Overlord replied, "yet."

Kai raged, hitting the glass with his hands. His hands turned into flames as he smashed them against the chamber.

"Calm down and I'll spare her," the Overlord grinned.

Kai sighed, falling back in the chamber. He sat on the floor, pulling his knees up to his chest. The Overlord turned to Zane, who waited for orders.

"Bring me the blue ninja," he instructed.

Kai watched Zane walk away, and into the elevator. He turned and watched the Overlord as he paced around the chamber.

"Why me?" Kai asked. "Why not Zane? How do you know I won't try to get away from here before you can take the powers?"
"You'll be under lock and key when you aren't around me," the Overlord replied. "Not only that, but there will be someone watching you every moment of the day. You won't get anywhere."

Kai gulped.

"Secondly, I know how powerful you are with the element of fire," the Overlord continued. "I know you will be able to easily hold all four elements and the golden power."

Kai looked down, trying to think of a way to escape. He didn't noticed Jay and Zane enter the room until his name was called. He looked up, seeing Jay looking at him with his hands on the glass. Kai pulled himself onto his knees, looking at his teammate. Kai could see the worry in his friend's eyes, while Jay could see the fear in Kai's.

"This might be the last time you two see each other for a while, so make it last," the Overlord told them.

Kai glanced over Jay's shoulder, seeing the Overlord and Zane discussing something.

"Are you alright? What's going on?" Jay asked.

"He wants the golden power," Kai explained. "He says that if he combines all four of our elements, including Cole's, then he'd be able to get them."

"Why are you in there then?" Jay asked.

"He wants to give me the powers to extract them for himself," Kai told Jay.

Jay looked over at the Overlord, then back at Kai.

"Oh no," Jay muttered. "We have to get you out of here."

"How?" Kai asked. "He's got nindroids everywhere, and we don't know where anyone else is."

"Alright, let's get this show started," the Overlord cheered.

Kai gulped. Zane walked over to Jay, grabbing his arms and leading him to a set of seats against a wall. There were wires attached to the chairs, leading to the chamber that trapped Kai. Kai could only watch as he held his breath in fear.

Jay didn't struggle, knowing what would come if he did. Zane forced him back into the chair, and strapped him down. Jay looked over at Kai and mouthed the words "Just hang in there" to him. Kai nodded, watching everything happening around him.

"You too, Zane," the Overlord instructed.

Zane nodded, sitting in the chair next to Jay. The Overlord strapped Zane down, and walked over to a control panel. Jay whimpered softly, and so did Kai. Neither of them knew how to stop this, nor would have been able to in their situation. The Overlord flipped a switch and the transfer started. Kai could feel the power building in him, and it was overwhelming for him. He hadn't had this much power in him ever before in his life. He fell back against the chamber and moaned softly. Not from pain, but from the exhaustion he was already facing and the new energy suddenly appearing.

Once it was over, Jay was the moaning one, any energy that he had left was gone. He could hardly stand on his own as Zane pulled him to his feet.

"Take him back to his cell, then return here to guard Kai," the Overlord instructed Zane. "Also make sure there is a patrol sent out to search for any signs of the others. I want them all, especially Cole."

"Yes, Master," Zane nodded.

Kai watched Zane and Jay leave while he was still trapped in the chamber. The Overlord was walking around him, waiting for Zane to return. But now, Kai didn't see the Overlord, but his host, the person he was controlling. It only made Kai upset as he curled into a ball in the chamber, keeping his eyes open to avoid sleep.

"Someone save me," he muttered softly to himself. "Please."
