It wasn't long before they were back in the air and on their way to find Nya. Zane gave directions while Kai rod on Zack, behind Zane. Kai looked around, tracking where they were so if they needed to, they could go for cover at the nearest place possible. He could see a forest just to their left, almost directly below them. Kai was back in the golden gi, his dark clothing hidden away in his bag yet again. Zane watched below them, then looked up.

"She sees us," Zane said. "Zack, drop us down."

Zack nodded his head before tilting to the right and circling down towards the ground. Zack transformed as he landed, with Kai and Zane behind him. Kai kept his head down, not willing to look at his sister in her current condition.

"You found him?" Nya asked.

"More like he found me," Zane replied. "Came running right to me."

Nya frowned, looking at her brother.

"Something about this doesn't seem right," Nya muttered.

Kai glanced away. Nya turned and walked up to Zane, almost as if she were examining him. Within seconds, Zane had Nya's arms pulled behind her. She screamed, and thrashed around in his grasp.

"What did he do to you!" Nya shouted at Zane. "Why have you turn on us?"
"I'm sorry, sis," Kai muttered.

Zane watched Kai form a sphere of Golden energy in his hands. He looked up at his sister.

"This is going to hurt you a lot more than it's going to hurt me," Kai said.

With a quick sharp nod, Kai shot the energy at his sister, seconds after Zane had dove out of the blast's path. A bright light blinded Zane, Kai and Zack, forcing them to look away. Moments after it died down, Kai turned back to his sister. Nya laid on the ground, moaning in pain.

"Did it work?" Zack asked.

"Only one way to find out," Kai muttered.

Kai approached Nya as she moaned. He knelt next to her, watching her eyes flutter open.

"Nya?" Kai whispered.

"Kai?" she moaned. "What just happened?"

"It's alright," Kai hugged her.

Nya flinched, pushing Kai away. Kai looked at her, worried. Then he noticed the pain in Nya's eyes as she looked at him.

"What's wrong?" Kai asked, worried.

He reached out a hand, hoping to touch her and attempt to calm her.

"No," Nya shook her head. "Don't touch me."

Kai pulled his hand away, concerned for his sister.

"It hurts, everything hurts," Nya whimpered.

"Where the armour is?" Zane asked.

Nya nodded, remaining unmoving on the ground. Zane and Kai looked at each other.

"What do we do?" Zane asked.

"We need to get her somewhere safe," Kai said. "The others can help her with the pain, and to get the armour off of her."

"What about Jay?" Zack cut in.

"He can wait until we get Nya to safety," Kai answered. "For all we know, Jay could be in just as much pain, if not more."

Zack nodded, changing into his dragon form. Kai looked at his sister, biting his lip, then turning to Zane.

"How should we do this?" he asked.

"I would suggest making some sort of basket that Zack could carry her in," Zane suggested, motioning to the forest.

Kai nodded, understanding what he meant.

"Zack, can you stay here with my sister?" Kai asked. "We won't be long."

"Alright," Zack nodded, sitting in his dragon form. "We'll be here."

Kai followed Zane into the forest, into a section coated by vines. Zane looked up the tree they were attached to, and smiled with satisfaction. He tugged on them, then turned to Kai.

"I can weave these and they'll work perfectly," Zane told him. "Can you climb up and cut them down for me?"

"Yeah, on it," Kai nodded.

Kai ran to the base of the tree, springing off the stump and jumping into the air. He grabbed onto a branch and pulled himself up. He jumped and swung onto another branch above him.

"That should be plenty," Zane called up to him.

Kai nodded, pulling a dagger from his pocket and using it to cut the vines. After he had cut enough, he slid the dagger away. He looked down, seeing Zane weaving the vines together, and creating a basket for his sister. Kai was about to jump down when something flew through the air and pinned him to the tree.

"Zane!" Kai shouted out.

Kai looked at his shoulder, and found an arrow pinning his gi to the tree. He pulled on it but was unable to get himself free. He glanced down to see Zane had dropped everything and was racing up the tree to him. But when Zane started glancing to his left, away from Kai, he realized he was in more danger than he thought. Jay was racing towards him, getting closer and closer by the second.

"Blast him!" Zane shouted.

Kai only had a second to react, forming a small golden sphere in his hands.

"Your done, ninja!" Jay yelled.

Kai looked up as Jay pounced on him, knocking bother of them into Zane below them, and into the ground. All while the golden sphere Kai created exploded and destroyed almost everything in its path.

Zack landed with June, Ali, Stan and Tylor on his back. Nya had convinced him to take her to their shelter and then take some of the others to help Kai and Zane. Ali looked around, worried. The forest that once stood around them was now a crater in the ground, everything smoldering and coated by ashes.

"Did Kai do this?" June asked, turning to Zack.

"I don't know," Zack answered. "He and Zane went in there to find something to carry Nya back in, then there was an explosion and they never came back."

June and Ali exchanged worried looks.

"If it was Kai, he would have been trying to defend himself from something," Ali claimed. "We need to find them incase it was the Overlord."

June, Stan and Tylor nodded, watching Zack transform.

"Spread out and search for anything," Ali ordered. "Leave no stone unturned."

The group spread out through the explosion area. Zack circled around in his dragon form, looking for anything that might help them. Ali looked around near the edge of the site, worried about Kai and Zane.

"Over here!" Tylor shouted.

Ali, June and Stan ran over to Tylor while Zack landed next to them. Tylor was kneeling next to Zane, who was moving around slightly. Tylor was helping him sit up right, but his right arm and his legs were badly damaged.

"What happened, Zane?" Ali asked, sliding to the ground next to him. "Do you remember?"
"He attacked us," Zane muttered. "I couldn't go after them, my system is severely damaged."

"Who attacked you?" Stan asked.

"Jay," he answered. "I tried to stop him before he reached Kai, but I wasn't fast enough."

Zane flinched as Tylor and Stan tried to get him up. Once they had him on his feet, he fell forwards.

"I can't move," Zane moaned.

Ali and June quickly turned Zane over onto his back.

"What happened to Kai?" Ali asked.

"Jay took him," Zane groaned. "Kai shoot a blast of energy out, damaging me, knocking himself out, and allowing Jay a moment to get him away from here."

The others all exchanged worried looks, realizing their time was growing slim.

"How long ago was that?" June asked. "How much time do we have to stop them?"

"Jay was out for a couple minutes, but they left over an hour ago," Zane answered.

"Do we have time to get back to the others?" Tylor asked.

"We don't have enough time to get to Kai," Ali answered. "We have to be able to do something."
"Like what?" Stan asked.

"Zack, you need to get Zane back to the others," Ali ordered. "He needs repairs and we need everyone available to meet us in the city."

"On it," Zack nodded.

Everyone stepped away from Zane as Zack picked him up in his claws and took off into the sky.

"If Zack's going back to the others, how are we getting to the city?" Tylor asked.

"June," Ali smiled.

"Got it," June smirked.

Tylor and Stan looked at each other, then back to June to see a big purple dragon before them.

"How did you!?" Stan shouted.

"There isn't time," Ali snapped, jumping on the dragon. "Both Kai and all of Ninjago are at risk right now, we need to move!"

Tylor and Stan nodded, jumping on the dragon. June took off, flying as fast as they could towards the city.

"Hold on, Kai," Ali muttered to herself. "We're on our way."
