I apologize for the lack of uploads over the week, and that this will be the only one for a while. I've just been really busy and had a hard time deciding what I wanted to do next. Now that I know, hopefully there will be an upload again within the next couple of days. Enjoy this chapter though!

Zack was silent, scared and terrified in the small cell he was left in. There was no one with him when he woke up, and he hadn't seen anyone come to check on him. He didn't know how long he had been there, or even where he was. He was just alone. He had given up hope that someone was coming for him and eventually started drifting off into sleep.

"He's got to be around here somewhere!"

His eyes snapped open, looking towards the door. Seconds later, June ran into his view with Tylor beside her.
"He's down here! Linda, this way!" June shouted.

Zack listened as Linda, Stan, Nicki and Roy all came into his view. Linda pulled open the door, allowing Nicki and Roy to run to the young boy.

"Nicki! Roy!" Zack cried.

"Oh, thank the first spinjitzu master your Ok," Nicki hugged the young boy.

"We were worried sick about you," Roy added.

"How did you survive that fall?" Nicki asked.

"Dash protected him," Linda cut in.

She had a key in her hand and proceed to take the chains off of Zack.

"What do you mean?" Roy asked.

"I was teleported away from here," Zack told them. "I went to Kai and Cole, and they protected me."

"That means they must be here too," Tylor frowned.

"Also meaning we don't have much time left to find them," Stan added.

"We need to find my sister first," Linda said. "With Lloyd not an option, she is the only one that might be able to teach Kai how to control the Golden powers."
"We still need to get to Kai and Cole," Nicki cut in.

Linda bit her lip, looking between the group.

"Alright, we'll split up," Linda nodded. " Tylor, Stan, and June, go and find Kai and Cole. You guys know the meeting point, so you get out of here as soon as you can."

Tylor and Stan nodded, turning to run off. Roy gave Nicki a quick kiss on the cheek before running off with them.

"Roy, Nicki and Zack, come with me this way," Linda nodded.

Nicki took Zack by the hand, leading them around the dungeon to find Ali.

Not wanting to risk being caught in the elevator, Stan, June and Tylor used the stealthiest way they could think of to find Kai and Cole. Climbing the wall outside. They jumped from window to window, looking inside for any signs of Cole or Kai, and avoiding being seen by anyone else inside. When they were about ten stories up, June caught sight of something that Tylor and Stan didn't notice.

"Guys, come see this," June called up to them.

Tylor and Stan climbed down, looking at June confused. June pointed inside, and they caught a glimpse of red from inside one of the chambers.

"Do you think they're in there?" Tylor frowned.

"Only one way to find out," Stan grinned.

He pulled out a small dagger from his pocket and cut a circle in the window. They all silently slipped inside, walking towards the chambers. June suspicions were correct, as they found Kai in one, and Cole in another.

"Let's get them out of here and to the meeting point before anyone else shows up," June ordered, her voice in a whisper.

Tylor and Stan nodded, working on opening the chambers. Stan was quickly typing in a code to open the chambers, not having a key to open it. As he was doing this, he glanced up and made contact with two chocolate brown eyes.

"June, Cole's awake," Stan called out.

June slipped from watching for anyone to come in to checking on Cole. She was at Stan's side by the time he had the chamber open, and pulled the oxygen mask off him.

"Are you alright?" June asked him.

"Yeah," Cole nodded.

"We're getting you and Kai out of here," June smiled at him. "Just hold on."

Cole nodded. June turned, letting Stan unstrap Cole. She glanced at Tylor, who was working with Kai. Tylor was unstrapping the red ninja, who was rather silent. They June noticed he was still asleep.

"Is he not waking up?" June asked Tylor.

"No, I don't know why," Tylor sighed.

"Ali or Linda should be able to wake him once we're safe if he hasn't woken up himself," June sighed.

Tylor nodded.

"But how do we get him out of here?" Tylor asked.

June frowned, looking around. She knew they would have to carry him, but they would also being climbing several stories down the side of a building. Then June spotted some rope and a harness near the elevator. She ran over, grabbing it.

"We'll lower him with this," June held it up.

Stan helped Cole to his feet, both of them looking at June.

"Cole, will you be able to climb down on your own?" June asked.

"Yeah, probably," Cole nodded.

"Well, we should have someone going down with Kai to make sure he doesn't collide with the wall and get hurt," Tylor cut in.

"I can do that," Cole said. "I'll just climb down beside the rope."

"Alright, we'll get them set up," June told Stan. "Can you start down to meet them at the bottom?"

"Got it," Stan nodded, running to the window.

June brought the rope over to Tylor, who had left Kai unrestrained on the bed. The more she thought about the plan, the more she worried about something going wrong.

"You know what, change of plans," June sighed. "Cole, can you carry Kai down?"

"How do you expect me to do that?" Cole frowned.

"We'll put the harness on you, and help you down," June said.
"Alright, I guess we can do that," Cole sighed.

June helped Cole get the harness on, making sure it fit him snuggly. Cole realized why she changed plans, because the harness would have been too big for Kai. The harness was at its smallest size, and it was just small enough to fit him. Taking that into note, Kai was smaller than Cole, seeing the earth was taller and a bit more muscular than the fire ninja was.

Once Cole had the harness on, he picked up Kai, holding onto him. They all walked over to the window, looking out to see Stan near the ground. Tylor held the rope as June helped Cole get himself and Kai out the small opening in the window.

"Alright, just keep Kai close to you, Cole," June told him. "We'll have both of you down in a couple minutes, and then meet you down there after that."

"Alright," Cole nodded.

Cole was facing upwards, his back to the ground as his feet bounced him down the wall with the harness. Kai was still unconscious against him. Cole had his arms around the red ninja to hold him against his chest. He looked up, then looked below him seeing Stan only about fifteen feet below him. He looked to Kai as he descended the final couple feet to the ground. Once he felt his feet on the ground, he let Stan take Kai from him. He tugged on the rope, telling June and Tylor he was down.

"Come on, we're out in the open," Stan told him.

"What about June and Tylor?" Cole asked.

"We'll wait for them over here," Stan replied.

Cole took the harness off, then followed Stan to a small abandoned corner store. Once inside, Stan laid Kai across a countertop before turning to watch for June and Tylor to get down.

"Where are we going after this?" Cole asked. "We need somewhere safe to hide that the others won't find us at."
"Linda has that covered," Stan told him.

Cole turned to Kai, walking over to him. He remembered seeing Kai with hope in his eyes, and now he wouldn't even move. Cole was worried the Overlord did something to him that Cole was unaware of. Something that might have been hurting him, or even killing him at that very moment. And all he could do was watch and wait.
