Nya woke up with a really bad headache. She looked around and noticed where she was. In the Overlords base. She was tied to a chair, venge stone straps holding her down. She looked around her, finding Dash and Zack tied to her right and Nicki, Roy and Ali to her left. Ali was closest to her, and the only other one awake.
"What's going on?" Nya whispered.
"We were captured," Ali replied.
Nya then frantically started looking around.
"Where's Cole?" Nya asked.
"That's what I want to know."
Nya looked up to see the Overlord staring at her. She gulped, remaining still.
"Oh, so you aren't going to talk now," he sighed. "I think I have something that could change your mind."
"Like what?" Nya asked.
"How about your little friend?" he smirked. "Oh, what was his name again? Lloyd?"
"Oh, don't think you can fool us with that "He's alive" game," Nya muttered.
"He is," Dash muttered.
Nya looked over at the dark haired girl. She didn't know when Dash woke up, but she was awake now. And that would come in handy for the others.
"He can only possess a living body, with his captor alive inside," Dash muttered. "If they die, he dies with them."
"Why are you so smart?" the Overlord hissed.
"Because my father told me about you," Dash muttered.
"Somethings wrong with her," Zack whispered.
"What do you mean?" Nya asked.
"Silence, child," the Overlord snapped. "Jay, bring the girl with me. Zane, guard the others to stop them from escaping."
Jay unstrapped Dash before pulling her to her feet and leading her out of the room. Zane stood near the door they left through, staring at each of them.
"You said something was wrong?" Ali asked Zack.
"She was speaking so weirdly," Zack muttered. "I've never heard her speaking like that."
"If Zack is this worried, something is wrong," Roy chimed in. "He and Dash have known each other for years. If something was wrong, he would know."
Nya looked up, seeing Zane watching them.
"What are we going to do?" Ali asked. "We need to get out of here somehow."
Nya looked over at little Zack, seeing the worried look on his face. He seemed to be more worried about Dash than he was himself.
"Which one?" Zane muttered.
Nya's eyes quickly turned to him, seeing Zane staring into space.
"I'll bring her," Zane muttered.
Zane stepped away from the door and towards the captured group. Nya's heart skipped a beat when he stopped in front of her. He undid the straps on her and pulled her to her feet. Nya knew she had to do something. As Zane grabbed her arm and started leading her away, she ripped herself free from him. She ran to Zack, who was the closest to her and grabbed a hold of the strap over his left wrist.
"Not so fast," Zane hissed.
Zane yanked Nya away from Zack, causing her to yelp and nearly fall over. The others all watched as Zane dragged Nya into the room with Jay and Dash.
"Poor Nya," Ali muttered.
Zack realized his left strap was loosened from Nya to the point where he could pull his arm free.
"I'm free," Zack grinned. "Nya freed me."
"Quick, untie us," Roy said.
"But Nya," Zack glanced at the door.
"You can't take all of them, Zack, not on your own," Ali told him. "Not even all of us together can take them down. We need to get out of here."
Zack nodded, moving to Ali to untie her. He got to her, and freed her seconds before Zane returned.
"Stop!" Zane shouted.
"Get out of here!" Roy shouted.
"What about you and Nicki?" Zack cried.
Ali picked up the boy.
"We'll get them another time," Ali replied.
Ali turned to run when a rope wrapped around her ankles. She looked to see Zane charging at them. It was then that Jay darted through the door, ready to help. Ali glanced to see Roy looking at her, terrified and worried. She turned to look out the window. Something was telling her to do something that she might regret. She didn't want to let them win everything, and it was the only option left.
"Hold on," Ali cried.
"To what?" Zack cried.
Then Zack screamed, somersaulting through the air and crashing through the window. Roy watched as Zack toppled out of sight, and Jay ran to the window.
"He's gone," Jay turned to Zane.
"One less kid to babysit," Zane muttered.
"No, he's gone gone," Jay cried out. "There's no one there."
Zane turned from restraining Ali, giving Jay a confused look.
"Elaborate," Zane frowned.
"No body, no blood, no nothing," Jay pointed at the shattered window.
Zane finished restraining Ali before running to Jay's side.
"Where'd he go then?" Zane cried out, looking out the window.
"We need to tell Master," Jay urged.
"You tell him, I'll stand guard," Zane replied.
Jay nodded, running to the door. He pushed it open, seeing the scene that was unfolding behind it. Nya was before him, holding a knife in her hand, glaring at the Overlord. The Overlord wasn't what one would call defenseless, but he was unarmed. Jay wrapped his arms around Nya, pinning them to her side. The knife in her hand dug straight into her leg. She screamed, falling limp in Jay's arms.
"Get her back on the table," the Overlord instructed.
Jay nodded, picking up the water ninja. She yelled and squirmed despite the cut on the side of her leg that screamed in pain. Jay pinned her against the table, allowing the Overlord to strap her to it.
"What are you doing to me?" Nya cried out.
"Don't worry, sweet," Jay smirked. "This won't take long. Then we'll be together again."
"No! Let me go!" Nya screamed, fighting against her straps.
"Let's just get this done," Jay muttered.
Jay picked up a syringe from the counter and stuck in Nya's arm. He injected the serum into her arm, allowing her to calm and let herself fall asleep before removing it and allowing the Overlord to do his work.
