Dash's P.O.V.
We ran through the desert. I was out of breath, but I still ran. I don't know where the other ninja are, but if they're still captured, we'll go back for them eventually.
"Ok, I need to catch my breath," Tylor panted.
We stopped, panting for breath.
"Ok, I think we're far enough for now, but we should head for Ninjago City," Nicki said, "we'll have better cover there."
"She's right, as always," Roy said, going all lovey dobby for her.
Ew.
"So, let's keep going, but we'll walk from here unless necessary," Stan said.
I sighed, I wish Cole were here. While locked up, we overheard Ali telling Zane and Jay that Cole was gone. I'm going to kill Linda for it, I just need to wait for the moment I can strike.
"Dash, you coming?" Nicki called to me.
"Ya, coming," I cried, running to catch up.
The rest of the walk was quiet, no one spoke. That is, until we had Ninjago City in our sights.
"There, come on!" Tylor cried, running towards the city.
We all ran then finally stopped on the outskirts of the city.
"Ok, we spread out and report to Ninja Park in an hour," Roy said, "Understand."
We all agreed and split off. Nicki went with Roy, Tylor and Stan and I was by myself. I would usually go with Zack places, but I don't even know where he is right now. I sighed aloud and began to walk off. I was walking past an old building, posters and banners covers and decaying from time passing. I stopped and looked, then wiped a tear, seeing they were posters of the ninja, and one was Cole.
Sighing, I continued onwards down the street. Then I saw a TV Store.
"This is day 14 since the ninja went missing, along with the Elemental Princess. Everyone is to remain calm and continue live as normal," said the new reporter.
"Everything is under control, the ninja will be found and return to their roles here in the city," said the head of police.
I bit my lip and ran down the street, into an old abandoned alleyway. I can't go anywhere without something reminding me of Cole.
Tears began to fall from my eyes, slowly sliding down my cheeks and falling onto the ground in little droplets.
"Why, Cole," I whispered.
"Miss, are you OK?" someone asked me.
I looked up and saw a nice elderly lady looking down at me.
"I'm fine," I whispered, "just getting over a death."
"Oh, I'm so sorry," she said.
"It's Ok, I just miss him," I said.
"What was his name?" she asked.
"Cole," I said, tears streaming down my cheeks.
"Huh, my son knows a man named Cole…" she stopped mid thought, then looked to me. "This wasn't….a ninja, was it?"
I looked to her, she knew Cole. Her son, who could this be?
"It was, and I don't know what I can do," I sighed.
"Come on, dear, we're in an apartment just over there, you can come and rest inside," she said, helping me up. "What is your name?"
"Dash," I said between tears.
"It'll be Ok, Dash, you can stay with us while we're here on vacation from the junkyard," she smiled.
I tried to smile back, but it wasn't easy. She walked with me into their rented apartment.
"Ed, we have a guest," she cried.
"Oh, who is it?" a man's voice replied.
"She says her name's Dash, she knows the ninja," she cried.
"Our son, where is he?" a man came running in.
"I don't know, I was captured with them, but I don't know where they are right now," I replied.
"Come dear, let's get you warmed up," the lady said, leading me to a spare bedroom. We walked in, "call me if you need something, Ok."
I nodded. I looked around, seeing how nice the room was. I slowly walked towards the bed, then noticed a photo album. I opened it and saw a mother, a father and a small brunette boy. His grin was unforgettable. I smiled back, even though it was just a picture. I flipped the page and saw the same boy, but a little old, he had a blue backpack on and was getting on a bus. Blue, could it be. I kept flipping through, seeing the same boy grow up. Then, on the last page, five boys, one girl and an old man. I knew all of them. From left to right it was Kai, Nya, Jay, Lloyd, Sensei, Zane and Cole, all huddled in arms around each other, laughing. Then I noticed a small note on the bottom of the page. Our little Blue Jay. Now facing danger everyday, protecting everyone. We love you, Mom and Dad. I tear slipped from my eye, down my cheek and onto the page. I held back more, smiling.
"They're so cute," I smiled.
"I know, my dear son and his friends," a voice said from the door.
I turned and saw the lady, standing, watching me. She walked over and sat beside me.
"I didn't know they were this close at a point in time," I sighed.
"They are, or at least were," she sighed.
"I know, the last thing they did together, and were happy about it was so long ago," I sighed.
"Would you like some tea?" she asked.
"Sure," I said.
She slowly rose and went to get some, saying that she would bring it back for me. I turned back to the photo album, the the very last page. What's going to happen after this?
"So, what's happened?" the lady asked. "Everyone's been worried sick about the ninja."
"Well," I said, "Ali, the Elemental Princess's sister, Linda, captured us while Lloyd and Ali were on their honeymoon. Then turned Kai against us, followed by my friends and I escaping. I don't know where the other ninja are, but they aren't there anymore."
"I see," she said.
"Honey, you might want to come and see this," the man, Ed, cried from the living room.
We ran down together and tears started filling my eyes.
"No, this can't be," I said, "No!"
"Yes, it's true. I found them, but they were…" a man said, then went silent.
Tears streamed down my cheeks. Why!?
"Dash, I'm so sorry," the lady said.
Before she could say anything else, I ran out the door, tears streaming down my cheeks. I ran, not stopping. I fell to my knees, just outside of down, and cried. This can't be true. No, I won't believe it until I see it with my own eyes.
I stood up and began walking. I'm going to Ignacia Village. I'm sorry friends, I must know if they're truly dead.
Now, I'm going to apologize right now to Dasher Girl if I messed up Dash's character. AAgain, Dash, Nicki, Roy and Zack belong to Dasher Girl. Stanley and Tylor belong to Kairocksrainbows. I only own Linda, Ali, and the other people working for Linda. I don't own anything else. This got really emotional. More emotional than I planned. Next chapter will involve mostly Nya and Zack, with hints of Jay, Zane and Skylor so I hope you enjoyed this one and will enjoy the next one. Anyways, Review and enjoy.
