Here you go, chapter 7.

Chapter 7

Cole's POV

Kai took out his sword.

"Kai, we should go get the others," I said.

"You do that then, and I'll keep him distracted, go!"

I quickly nodded and hurried back up the street. As I ran, the sky turned a dull grey and it started to rain. I tried to keep up my pace but I was never good at running up hills. I started to slow down considering that my stitch would not go away, and decided to take a break. How high was this hill? I took another breath and ignoring the worried looks of people passing by, I started to run again. After a while, I could finally see the top of Destiny's Bounty. I jumped on the deck and scud inside.

"Jay… his soul… attacked… Kai and I… I ran... help..." I panted.

"What? Say that again, but this time slower. And use whole sentences, not just words. I thought you already knew after I told you that like, 50 times," said Zane. I frowned.

"Where is sensei?"

"He's gone to the Tea Store to stock up on some tea," Nya said. Awesome. Why is he always gone when we need him the most?

"Jay attacked us. Well, it wasn't really Jay, but it was evil Jay made out of Jay's soul which the 'figure' made after he took Jay's soul." I said. "Man, I never said Jay that many times in one sentence. Anyways, I ran here for help, but Kai is still out there with evil Jay."

"Wait, evil Jay? And Kai is out there all alone trying to fight him?" Lloyd exclaimed. "What are we waiting for, then?! We gotta help him!"

"I- I'll stay here with the real Jay," Nya said. "I really don't feel like fighting – Jay."

"Fine. But if anything happens, make sure to call us." said Zane.

We jumped over the deck and ran down the hill that I was trying to climb a few minutes ago. The rain has gotten stronger now, and it didn't make it any easier for us. When we nearly reached the bottom of the hill, I could see Kai laying on the ground and Jay standing beside him. Just like in my dream, except there was no blood to be seen. Jay was holding Kai's sword.

"So, you came back for more, black guy? And you brought some friends I see," he said.

"W-what did you do to Kai?" said Lloyd. Jay smirked.

"Take that sword away from him!" I yelled.

Zane ran up to Jay and tried to punch him, but something was stopping him from touching Jay. The invisible shield! Of course! How were we supposed to stop him now?

"I can't touch him-"

"Try grabbing the sword out of his hand! No kicking or punching will help, he has a shield!" I yelled once more.

Lloyd was about to snatch the sword out of his hand, when Jay disappeared.

"What? Another disappearing villain? How are we supposed to get that sword and Jay's soul back now?" he said.

"That doesn't matter now. We need to take Kai back to Destiny's Bounty and see what's wrong with him," Zane commanded.

"Right. I hope it's nothing serious," I said. "I shouldn't have left him all by himself. He would have never done that," I murmured.

Kai's POV

"Do you think he's awake yet?"

"I don't know. But if he wakes up, should we tell him straight away, or wait until he realizes?"

"Stop being stupid! And I thought that nindroids were smart! Of course we'll tell him straight away!"

"Look! I think he's waking up!"

I slowly opened my eyes to the sound of gasping and sighing. I gently sat up, to face Cole, Lloyd, Zane and Nya. I was sitting in my bed, in my own room.

"H-hey guys. Why are we gathered in my room? And how did I end up here?"

"Kai, do you not feel it?" Cole asked, wide eyed.

"Feel what?" I looked down. I saw my very own blade stuck inside my right hip. „W-what? How did this happen? How come do I not feel it?"

"We're not sure. After you fainted, 'evil Jay' left with your sword, and you seemed completely fine. We brought you to your room for you to take a rest, and left you alone for less than an hour. Then when Nya came in to check on you, she saw this." Lloyd pointed at my hip, where my sword rested.

"W-why didn't you take this out? What am I supposed to do with it?" I said.

"Well I was going to try to, but I didn't want to wake you up." Cole said, blushing. „You looked so peaceful asleep."

"Thanks, I guess. But now I need to get rid of this. Can you help me?"

"Yeah," said Cole.

"Ugh. I don't like looking at blood. It makes me feel dizzy," Nya said. „I might as well leave before I faint. By the way, earlier on today I made pancakes. Anybody wants some?"

"Sure. Me and Zane will have some, right Zane?" Lloyd winked at Zane. „I'm pretty sure that Cole is strong enough to take the sword out."

"Uhh I think so," Cole said.

"Leave some for me," I said, just before Nya left the room.

I'll post chapter 8 on Saturday.
