I'm back with yet another chapter of WACLAO! I'm really on a role with this story lately. But don't expect a new chapter back to back... or even everyday. I'll try to update more frequently, but it probably won't be everyday. But anyways, in this chapter, we find out what happened to Amaya, and where she is. I hope you enjoy this chapter!

Warning: Contains more violent.

Disclaimer: You already know...

Chapter 3: Where's Amaya?

In the night... it was quiet. Too quiet. One would say you could hear a pin drop from miles away. Everyone was sleeping, even the PJ Masks. However, one of the Masks was not sleeping so peacefully...

We then go to a hospital... and old abandoned hospital. One that hasn't been used in years, and no one thought to ever tear it down. The reasons for shutting it down are still unknown to this day.

Inside the area, it was just as abandoned on the inside as it was on the outside. Hospital beds were messy, wheelchairs were all over the place. A lot of equipment was broken or worn out. The only things that seemed to be working were the elevator.

But now... one of the empty hospital rooms was preoccupied right now... by an unlikely 'patient'. Inside the room, we see a girl hanging on a wall by some sort of sticky material. And she did not look well.

"Oh..."

Amaya groaned as she opened her eyes. Her body was aching with so much pain. She looked around. She had no idea where she was and why she was here. It was a dark cold room. It was silent, aside from the sound of water from a dripping pipe hitting the floor.

The eight year old tried to move, but couldn't. She looked to her side to see that she was pinned to the wall... with sticky splats. She recognized those traps anywhere.

Night Ninja.

He must have been behind all of this. Now Amaya was scared. She looked down to see that she was in her pajamas which was slightly torn in some places. The only thing missing was her bracelet... so she wasn't exactly Owlette right now, which means she can't do anything.

"Well... well... well... looks like my future ninja princess is awake..."

Amaya shivered a little, as her captor walked into the room, followed by his gibberish speaking minions, the Ninjalinos. Night Ninja smirked under the mask he wore as he walked up to the owl hero, "How are you feeling, Owlette?" He asked with a menacing tone.

"Night Ninja! What are you doing? Let me go!" She exclaimed, struggling a bit. "Where am I?"

"My secret hideout. That's all..." He replied, walking even closer to her, making her uncomfortable, "But anyway... look at how beautiful you are... I've always wonder what you looked like without that silly bird mask." He began to stroke her hair, "You are definitely gorgeous. Absolutely stunning."

This ninja was making Amaya even more uncomfortable than ever. All of the compliments made her feel more uneasy than flattered, "Uh... thank you. But why am I here? I need to know!" She demanded.

Night Ninja chuckled, "Eager I see. Well, I'll give you the basics." He backed away as he whispered something to one of the Ninjalinos, who nodded and left the room, confusing Amaya, "You see... ever since we met... I have had a certain... interest in you, Owlette." Everytime he said her hero name, he said it so smoothly, it sent more shivers down Amaya's spine.

"The way you move, the way you fly, the way you can see... it's so... graceful and fast... just like a ninja." He continued, just as the Ninjalino returned, handing something to Night Ninja.

Amaya had a hard time recognizing it, as without the glasses she wore, her vision was slightly blurry. Which is why, as Owlette, she could see better due to the great sight of an owl. She looked more closely, until the evil ninja spoke again, "To put it more lightly, I really like you, Owlette. And I plan to make you my Ninja princess. Together, we can be the greatest ninja team in the world!"

"Never!" Amaya snapped back at him, "I will never be your princess!" This villain wasn't going to take her away from her friends outside of anything!

Night Ninja just shrugged, "Very well..." Suddenly, he used the thing in his hands, and smacked the girl hard on her leg, making her cry out in pain. That's when Amaya realized that he had nunchucks in his hand, a weapon that would used by a ninja. But it wasn't a toy... it was a real weapon.

"You will be my princess, whether you want to or not." He said as he hit her with the weapon again, this time on her other leg. Amaya whimpered in pain, "Now. I suppose we should get to know each other better before the wedding."

Did he just say wedding?

"Well... what is your name?" He asked.

Amaya glared at him, "It's Owlette... you know." She responded blankly.

"No... I mean your real name..."

What...?

"No! I'm not telling you my real name!" She refused, turning away from him.

WHACK!

She screamed out again, as Night Ninja hit her once again, "If you don't tell me your true name, I'll be keep doing this." He told her as he hit her on her stomach, making her gasp in pain. "Tell me..." He warned her.

"Never! It's none of your business!"

WHACK!

"Ow..."

WHACK!

"Okay! Okay! My name... is Amaya..."

Night Ninja chuckled, "What a beautiful name for such a beautiful girl... I can tell that this will be the start of a beautiful relationship."

Amaya gulped. This was not going to be good. At all. The evil ninja smirked villainously as he wiped her tears, "And when you do become my princess, I think it's best I lay down some rules for you... you HAVE to do everything I say. Don't listen to the Ninjalinos as they don't make any sense anyways. If you disobey me at any time... you will be punished..."

"You're not the boss of me, Night Ninja..." The girl told him. Plain and simple.

"Not yet I'm not... but I will be very soon..."

"You won't get away so easily. Catboy and Gekko will save me."

"HA!" Night Ninja laughed, "They don't even have any idea where you are! And they'll never find you as long as I keep you hidden."

With that, he let out an evil laugh, and was joined by the Ninjalinos as they giggled, in which he glared at them, "NINJALINOS! Only I can do the evil laugh! Not you!"

"Aw..." The minions moaned.

Night Ninja then resumed his maniacal laughter, and Amaya only wished she could cover her ears to drown out the menacing sound. "I don't even love you!" She blurted out.

"That's not a problem for me... since I'll just make you love me!" He replied, hitting her once again with his nunchucks, "And that's another thing. You have to say 'I do' at the wedding. If you refuse... I will beat you, and keep beating you until you say it!"

Amaya whimpered a bit. She was already in a lot of pain right now. She didn't want to be in anymore. So she just nodded slightly. Night Ninja chuckled, "That's a good girl..." He then let out a yawn. "Well now. Even ninja's need their rest. So before I do..." He took out some sort of bottle and removed the cap.

He moved the cap towards Amaya's nose, as she began to feel drowsy by the scent from the bottle... "Go to sleep, my love..." The evil ninja whispered. "You're gonna need it..."

Soon enough, the girl was out cold. As Night Ninja chuckled again, "Good..." With that, he left the room, followed by the Ninjalinos. As for Amaya, she could only pray that her friends would find her... and save her.

Meanwhile...

Connor was in bed, sleeping away. But as he did... he started to have a bad dream...

It started out as a good dream, with him and Amaya sitting on a hill, having a little picnic. It had to be the best dream he could ever have. He smiled as Amaya picked up an apple, "I can't believe you planned this picnic all by yourself... you're so sweet, Connor..." She said.

Connor couldn't help but blush, "It's the least I can do for you... you're my friend."

The two eight year olds stared at each other for the longest time, until she started to lean in. This got Connor excited. Was he finally going to get a kiss from his true love?

But before her lips could make contact with his...

BOOM!

"MWAH! HA! HA! HA! HA!"

A sudden boom of thunder, joined by a maniacal laughter startled the friends, as dark clouds loomed over them, covering up the blue sky. Wind began to blow, and lightning flashed.

Connor pulled up Amaya and tried to get her to safety. But suddenly, a dark figured appeared in front of them. He was all dressed in black, and was a kid like they were. "Welcome to my world..." He snarled, his voice sounding eerily similar to Night Ninja's.

"Don't worry... I'll protect you." Connor whispered to Amaya, who nodded.

The boy stood up to the figure, and prepared to become Catboy, but suddenly.

PUNCH!

He was punched away by the figure, causing the wind to blow him away. Amaya gasped, "No! Connor!"

The figure laughed evilly as he grabbed Amaya, and ran off with her as she screamed. Connor heard her screams as he got up and tried to save her. But the lightning tried to strike him.

"No... you won't... get away! Don't worry... Amaya... I'll... save... you-woah!"

Connor could barely see over the high winds and sudden rain, that he had ran right off of a cliff. Luckily, he was able to hold onto the edge... but for how long? The evil figure chuckled as he stood at the edge, holding a still frightened Amaya. "You're losing your touch, kitty cat! Soon, Amaya will be mine, and you will have nobody!"

With that, he gave Connor a fierce stomp on his hand, causing the boy to let go of his grip... and fall into the deep canyon. Amaya scream "NOOOO! CONNOR!"

"AMAYA!" Connor called back as he continued to fall.

"AMAYA!"

The boy woke up with a yelp, panting and breathing heavily. He looked all around, and realized that he was in his room. It was all a dream. A good dream turned bad. Connor wiped his forehead and closed his eyes, thinking back to that dream. Who was that figure in black? Why did he take Amaya? And why did he say that she would be his?

Wait a minute... 'Amaya will be mine'... I swear I heard someone say something similar to that before... but who... and what...?

After a few moments, Connor decided to go back to sleep, and think about that later. He then thought about Amaya herself.

"Don't worry, Amaya... if I could... I'd save you..."

Wow, that was one creepy dream. And now we see that Amaya was captured by that nasty Night Ninja, who has some evil plans for her. The next few chapters, I'm gonna try to focus more on Amaya and her predicament, while still keeping the focus on Connor. But trust me... Night Ninja is not gonna be nice to Amaya. This is when you'll start seeing a more sinister side of this particular villain. Well, with that said, I'll see you guys later. And don't forget to review, please. Thank you.
