Good day, my friends! It's time yet again for another chapter of WACLAO! This will be the beginning of Amaya's arc, but we will still see Connor and Greg from time to time. We're gonna see how she's dealing with being Night Ninja's hostage. And we might even get some kick butt moments from her. So, I hope you enjoy this chapter and the arc as a whole.

Chapter 4: Hospital hostage
"Wake up... wake up, my beautiful ninja flower..."
Amaya groaned as she opened her eyes, only to see a blurry ninja in front of her. Night Ninja then held something up for her, "I realize that she need these. If you're going to see that is." He put the things on her face, and she could see better. Amaya then realized that it was her glasses.
Funny, she figured that Night Ninja would leave that behind when he kidnapped her.
Speaking of said ninja, he smirked at her as he stroked her chin, "Good evening..." He greeted slyly.
Good evening?
Was it still night time?
Did she sleep through the whole day?
What did Night Ninja give her to make her sleep for so long?
Amaya looked to her right to see the moon in view of the window. So, it was night time. She sighed in misery. Has no one found her yet? Are they even looking for her? At all? Did they even know she was missing? It was bad enough that her parents were so neglectful.
Okay, not entirely neglectful, but both very busy. Her mother owned a clothing business, and her father owned a manufacture business. They were always so busy, but often gave Amaya and her siblings the needs they required.
Amaya lived with her oldest sister, and three other older sisters, making her the baby of the family. The oldest sister was twenty two, while her other sisters ranged from ages sixteen, fifteen, and twelve. And here she was, the eight year old baby.
But before she could have anymore time to think, the Ninjalinos suddenly removed the sticky splats holding her, releasing her to the ground. Night Ninja then grabbed her by the arm and pulled her out of the room, "Where are you taking me?" She asked.
"We're going to train you to be a ninja." Was his response.
"What? But I don't fight..."
"Which is exactly why we're going to do this..."
Amaya found no point in even arguing with him, especially after he said this, "And if you refuse, or mess up any of the moves I show you, you'll be punished... severely."
"Fine..." She replied quietly.
With that, they made it to the lobby of the hospital, as Night Ninja began to train her. But it was not easy for her at all. All of the moves he showed her, she could barely even do as Owlette. Flight was her only specialty, and the PJ Masks hadn't trained themselves for physical fights. Flight was her specialty. Catboy may have speed, and Gekko may have strength, but none of them have the fists to actually kick butt.
This resulted in her messing up over and over, and Night Ninja hitting her with his nunchucks. The Ninjalinos watched the scene, laughing every time Amaya messed up, which resulted in Night Ninja shouting at them to shut up.
The training went on for hours. Amaya was getting exhausted. Night Ninja was getting frustrated, "You're doing it all wrong! Do it again better, or else!" He hit her again, as she struggled to get up. There were bruises on her arms and legs, and they ached like crazy. But nevertheless, she tried again. Amaya attempted to do a high kick... and succeeded.
POW!
The girl hit the evil ninja square in the face, knocking him to the ground as he groaned. The Ninjalinos ran to his aid, as Amaya looked shocked. She actually did it... and ended up possible angering Night Ninja in the process.
Uh oh...
Thinking fast, she slipped out of the room and down the hall, to hopefully escape his wrath.
As for Night Ninja himself, he recovered as he stood up, "That was impressive... but-" He stopped in tracks to see that Amaya was nowhere to be found. The villain boy growled, "She escaped! Ninjalinos! FIND HER! And when you do... she is so going to get it!"
With that, the gibbering minions ran out of the room, and looked around. Amaya was far out of sight. Night Ninja frowned as he saw his Ninjalinos standing around, "What are you doing? I said FIND HER!"
One Ninjalino stated that she wasn't in the hall. The evil ninja rolled his eyes, "I don't care! Just spread out all around the hideout, and FIND HER!"
His voice boomed and echoed around the whole entire building, as the startled Ninjalinos scrambled and split up to find the runaway PJ Masks. Night Ninja sighed as he walked to an elevator, "Stupid Ninjalinos..." He muttered.
With Amaya, she was running as fast as she could while still injured. If only she was Owlette right now, and she could fly out of that place and back home. But without her bracelet, she was useless.
The eight year old rounded a corner and hid behind a counter. She began to catch her breath as she heard the familiar mumbles of the Ninjalinos running by her. As soon as they passed by, she ran out and through a door. She figured she could go to the elevator, and hide somewhere to the top of the hospital. What are the chances that Night Ninja and his minions will find her up there?
Amaya made her way to a elevator and pressed the button for the ninth floor. At that moment, a Ninjalino spotted her, but the door had already closed. Amaya was surprised that the elevators even worked, when everything else in this hospital was broken and worn out. But she supposed that was a good thing for her benefit.
It took only ten seconds to get to the ninth floor, as the girl waited for the doors to open. But when they did, she saw an unpleasant sight.
Night Ninja staring right back at her, arms crossed, and a cold glare. "Did you really think I wouldn't find you? That I wouldn't notice that you tried to sneak away?" He demanded.
Amaya gulped, "Actually, I figured you would notice..."
"Well, break time is over, bird brain. Back to training. And this time-hey!"
Before Night Ninja could finish his sentence. Amaya pressed the button again, closing the door again, deciding to go to the seventh floor instead. It didn't take so long. But when the door opened, she saw the Ninjalinos just standing there, but they hadn't noticed her as she closed the door again to go up to the eight floor.
Goodness, they're everywhere... She thought to herself.
Soon, she found herself on the eighth floor, and began to walk around the level, seeing that Night Ninja, nor the Ninjalinos were nowhere to be seen. But while that didn't mean they wouldn't come on this floor, at least she was safe... for now.
"I wonder if there are secrets here..." She whispered to herself.
Ever since this hospital closed down, Amaya always wondered why. There was never a reason given, so some people assumed it was probably some ghost rumor. But ghost don't exist... right?
Amaya then noticed a form pictures located on the walls. She assumed that they were doctors. Gosh, she sure needed on right now, especially for all the pain she was suffering right now.
For my misfortune, the doctor is not in the house today... She thought.
Suddenly, she heard noises. She began to listen closely, and realized that it was Night Ninja's voice.. and he didn't sound happy.
"How many times have I told you? You don't come out of the room until I say so..."
That's when Amaya heard another voice... she didn't recognized. But it was a girl...
"I'm sorry, master. I just needed to get out of the room."
"I don't need to hear your excuses, Natalie! Now come here for your punishment... you know what happens when you disobey me..."
"No... no, please, master, please don't punish me! I won't be a bad girl again. Please, please, PLEASE!"
"Too little... too late..."
Amaya cringed. It looks like she wasn't the only girl who was kidnapped by Night Ninja. But who was she? The eight year old didn't have time to think as she heard something that made her skin crawl...
It was the sound of a whip.
The sound of the girl's screaming in pain...
And the sound of Night Ninja's evil laughter.
It's is not good... Amaya thought. She wanted to go find them, and help the girl. But there were two problems with that.
Problem number one... she wasn't Owlette.
Problem number two... even if she tried to stop Night Ninja, she would get punished too.
She then thought back to when she and Greg were captured by Romeo's robots, and trapped in a cage. They realized that they could save the day, even if they weren't Owlette and Gekko.
But right now with the injuries she had, she doubted that she could save the day this time. All she could do now was listen to the torture Night Ninja was putting her through.
After ten minutes, the whips, the screams, and the laughter stopped. All Amaya could hear was the little girl sobbing.
"Now, will you listen to me...?" Night Ninja asked with venom in his tone.
"Yes... master..." Went the girl in a weak tone.
"Good... now, go back to your room, and don't come out until I say so..."
There was silence after that, so Amaya assumed the girl was doing as she said. And what she had heard just scared her. She never thought that Night Ninja could be so... brutal. Sure, ninja's are like that... but this is a kid ninja. Amaya couldn't imagine going through what the little girl went through.
Feeling as if she isn't safe on this floor, Amaya left and made her way to an elevator. Just as more Ninjalinos spotted her, but the door had already closed on them, and the eight year old girl made her way to the sixth floor.
Upon the door opening, she saw even more Ninjalinos, who were paying no attention to her as she slipped by without them noticing. Just how many Ninjalinos did Night Ninja have?
As she tip toed down the hall, she didn't look down as she stepped on a bag, and left out the air, releasing an airy sound, which caught the attention of the Ninjalinos, as one of them pointed Amaya out.
"Uh oh..." She whispered as she began to run. The Ninjalinos weren't too far behind her. She rounded a corner, and spotted a flight of stairs. It didn't take her long to go up them.
I gotta get out of here... I gotta get out of here... I gotta-" Amaya started to say, until she gasped to see who was at the top of the stairs.
Night Ninja.
"Busted." Was all he said.
Amaya wanted to go back, but the Ninjalinos had blocked her way. She was trapped like a mouse. Looking back and forth, and realizing that there was nothing else she could go, she just sighed in defeat.
Night Ninja chuckled, "Good girl..."
But suddenly, he grabbed her by the arm roughly, and dragged her to the top of the stairs. "You wanna see the view?" He asked her, pulling towards the edge of the balcony, "Then enjoy it!"
Amaya screamed as he threw her over the railing, as she plummeted down to the bottom of the stairs. The last thing she heard before blacking out... was Night Ninja's voice.
"Now you know what happens when you cross my line..."
Meanwhile...
Connor and Greg were at school. Today, the class was drawing pictures for Amaya when she is finally found. They would give them to her as a welcome back gift. But Connor was not so sure if this was the right thing to do.
They didn't know if Amaya was even alive or not. The thought of his friend being dead scared Connor. Without her, the PJ Masks wouldn't be the same. Greg noticed his friends expression as he put a hand on his shoulder, "It'll be okay... they'll find her..."
"They better..." Connor replied in a dark tone, a dead serious look on his face.
Greg winced a bit. He hadn't seen Connor look this serious. Catboy, maybe, but not Connor. This just showed how much he cared for Amaya. The boys looked at their pictures, and had one thought on their minds.
'Wherever you are Amaya, we hope that you're safe...'
My oh my, this was interesting to write. We see that Amaya's not the only little girl that Night Ninja has kidnapped. But, this little girl has a special connection to the villain, and you'll find out why later on. Yes, I know Connor and Greg's part was short, but remember, this is Amaya's arc right now. And we will still see the boys. Until the next chapter, I'll see you guys later, and don't forget to review, please.
