I have returned with yet another chapter of WACLAO! After being stumped with this story for so long, and even considering to discontinue it, I'm back in the game after watching more PJ Masks. This time, we're gonna focus on Connor and Greg, as they decide to seek answers as to Amaya's whereabouts. I hope you enjoy!
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
Chapter 6: Questioning the Nighttime Villains
It was another fine, but yet somber day at school for Connor and Greg. For their friend, Amaya, was still missing.
It had been about three days now.
And there had been no signs of her yet.
As the boys walked into the classroom, they were greeted by another friend of theirs, Cameron, "Hi, guys." he said.
"Hey, Cameron..." Connor greeted back with less of a happy mood. Greg merely waved. Cameron could tell why they were like this, and knew why, "So... did they find her yet?" he asked.
"No..." Connor answered, "But they better find her soon..."
He said that in the same dark tone that Greg had heard just the day before, and to hear it again was just freaky. Even Cameron was a bit surprised, "I'm sure she'll be okay. I mean, what's the worse that could happen?"
Connor could think of a lot of things.
"I mean, it's not like she's been kidnapped."
"That could have happened." Greg said, "She couldn't have just disappeared out of thin air."
Cameron nodded, "True... but if she wasn't kidnapped... what if she ran away?"
At the mention of that, Connor turned to Cameron with a glare that could scare a puppy, "That's NOT what happened!" He growled, "Amaya would NEVER run away! She has no reason to do so!"
"I'm sorry, Connor-"
"Why would you even SUGGEST that?!"
"It was only a guess. There are plenty of things that could have happened to her."
Connor glared harder, "Don't even start listing..." he warned.
With that, Cameron backed off as he walked to his desk. Greg looked at his friend with worry and slight fear. He had never seen Connor so mad before. Well, at least not since when Night Ninja stole Master Fangs sword.
The blond boy tried to calm his brunette friend just as the teacher walked into the room. After school, Connor had calmed down, but was still pretty mad about what happened that morning.
"You know Cameron didn't mean to upset you... right?" Greg asked.
Connor sighed, "I know... it's just that you and I both know that Amaya would never have a reason to ever run away."
"So, you think she was... kidnapped?"
"I'd hate to think so, but that seems like the only other possible solution. But, it's not like the PJ Masks can do anything about this..."
Greg raised an eyebrow, "Are you sure? You managed to save me and Amaya from Romeo's robots."
"True, but at least there was evidence that you guys were captured. In this case, there's no evidence as to where Amaya could be."
It was true. When police were called to the scene, they could not find anything that suggested that Amaya was kidnapped. No fingerprints, nothing out of place in her room... nothing. "And if she was kidnapped, the kidnapper did a good job in hiding their tracks."
As the boys walked down the street and around the corner, the first thing they noticed... was a small gadget walking around, a moth flying about, and a gibbering Ninjalino.
And those three things could only mean one thing.
Three nighttime villains.
Connor and Greg didn't even need to say anything. They knew what they needed to do.
"PJ Masks, we're on our way! Into the night to save the day!"
Later at night...
"I wonder what Romeo, Luna Girl, and Night Ninja are up to all in one night." Gekko asked as he and Catboy viewed the PJ Picture Player.
"I'm not sure. But whatever it is, it can't be good." Catboy replied, "But no matter, we'll put a stop to it."
"It's gonna be kinda weird to do this without Owlette. We're suppose to be a trio."
"I know, but we can do it. Owlette would want us to save the day, even without her."
But in his own mind, Catboy really did wish that Owlette was here. The PJ Masks felt incomplete without her. Could they even do this without her? Well, they had to at least try.
And besides, Catboy was ready to face Night Ninja again, especially after how he hurt Owlette a few nights back.
Pressing a button on the picture player, the temporarily PJ duo jumped into the Cat Car, and drove out of HQ and into the city.
"Cat Ears..."
Catboy used his super hearing to listen to anything suspicious. And that he did, he heard the maniacal laughs of Romeo, Luna Girl, and Night Ninja, not to mention the gibberish sounds of the Ninjalinos. The cat hero made a turn towards the park, where the three villains were indeed located.
"C'mon, Gekko. Let's find out what they're up to. And... maybe they'll know what happened to Amaya..." Catboy told his lizard friend, who nodded in agreement.
With that, the two heroes ran up to the villains. They noticed Romeo seemingly tinkering with a robot, Luna Girl speaking with her moths, and Night Ninja commanding his Ninjalinos.
"Alright, Nighttime Villains, what are you up to?!" Catboy demanded.
Romeo chuckled, "Well, hello, PJ Masks... if you must know, I'm preparing my latest plan to finally take over the world!"
"I was going to steal all the shiny things in the city tonight." Luna Girl explained, "But I think I'm gonna put that on hold... because I just noticed that... there's only two PJ Pests..."
Romeo took notice of that as well, "You're right, Luna Girl. There is only two PJ pests..."
As for Night Ninja, well, he just smirked secretly and said nothing.
"So where's the third one? The bird brain?" Luna Girl asked.
Catboy growled and stepped forward, "DO NOT call her that! And it's none of your business!" He warned.
Luna Girl backed away a bit, "Whoa, calm down, kitty. I was just asking a question!"
"Unless you know where Owlette is." Gekko spoke.
The nighttime villain only looked at one another, having no idea what the lizard hero was talking about. Night Ninja, just shrugged, pretending that he didn't know, Oh, if only they knew. They'll be in for quite the surprise in just a matter of nights...
"Yeah! Where is Owlette? Do any of you know what happened to her?!" Catboy asked.
"I don't know..." Romeo said.
"I sure don't know either..." Luna Girl added.
Night Ninja said nothing, which made Catboy suspicious, "What about you, you nasty ninja?! Where is Owlette?!"
"Oh, I have no idea where she may be." The evil ninja replied, "Do you, Ninjalinos?"
His minions all just shrugged, playing along with their leader. But Catboy started to walk towards him, "Well, you may not know, but I haven't forgotten how you hurt her the other night..."
Night Ninja knew that the cat hero was looking for a fight, so he got in a fighting stance, "You're still mad over that. Aw, how sweet. You must really like her."
When he said that, Catboy blushed deeply, but quickly hid it, "Of course I like her. She's my friend. And nobody hurts my friends and gets away with it!"
"Wait! How can you two NOT know what happened to her?" Luna Girl asked.
"She disappeared a few nights ago." Gekko explained, "We have a feeling she may have been kidnapped."
"And it's either one of you three who did it. But since you said you didn't, we'll believe you for now. But we will find her..." Catboy added, "And none of you will stop us! Gekko, deal with Romeo and Luna Girl. I'll handle Night Ninja!"
The lizard hero nodded. As for the cat hero, he faced the ninja villain and they stared each other down for about ten seconds, before they charged at each other, engaging in another brawl, continuing from the one they had the last time they met. The Ninjalinos cheered their master on.
While that was going on, Romeo had created a small robot army, as a part of his plans to conquer the world. They all marched towards Gekko, "Super Gekko Muscles!" He used his super strength to grab them all and break them. Luna Girl was just resting on her Luna Board with her moths, watching the scene unfold, "Forget the lights for now, this is a show..." She said.
Back with Catboy and Night Ninja, the cat hero managed to hold his own, as he threw a punch into the ninja's gut, in which he kneeled and held his stomach, "You're strong, for a kitty..." He couldn't help but say.
Catboy smirked a little, "I've been training." Was all he said.
But Night Ninja got back up again, jumped up into the air, and before Catboy could react or even use his Super Cat Speed, kicked the cat hero in the face, pushing him far back, causing his back to collide with a tree.
"Gasping geckos!" Gekko was shocked, running towards his fallen friend. The nighttime villains laughed, "I've heard of kicking a puppy, but this is a whole new level!" Romeo chuckled.
"Really rotten." Luna Girl added, "You just kicked a cat!"
Night Ninja grinned to himself, "Well, that's what you gets when you mess when the ninja..."
As for Catboy himself, he groaned, rubbing his face. There was a red foot print on his face, and he felt his nose... there was blood.
"Are you okay, Catboy?" Gekko asked in concern.
The cat hero didn't appear to hear his question, as he was too busy growling and glaring at Night Ninja, "Oh, you nasty ninja! You're gonna pay for that!" He tried to stand up, but groaned again, clutching his head. That kick to the face was leaving a massive headache.
"Connor! Greg! Please, help me!"
Huh?
All of a sudden, Catboy was starting to hear a voice in his head. "Amaya...?" He asked quietly. Gekko helped him up, "Let's get you back to HQ, and maybe find an ice pack."
But before the two could even leave, Night Ninja jumped in front of them, "You thought that hurt? Well, you've seen nothing yet, kitty cat and lizard loser! In just a few short nights, what I have planned, you will never see coming! And soon, I will be even more powerful than before!"
Just what was he talking about?
It hurt Catboy's head even more to think about this, as he and Gekko soon retreated back to HQ. There, Gekko found an ice pack for him, "Wow, Night Ninja really gave you a kick." He said, "I hope it isn't fatal."
"I know..." Catboy held the pack on his head with one head, and held a tissue under his nose to stop the bleeding with the other, "Gekko... I heard Amaya's voice in my head... she was calling for help."
"Huh?
"Amaya's voice. When Night Ninja kicked me... I heard her voice... it sounded like she was in trouble!"
"Guys... help... I'm scared... save me..."
The cat hero groaned again, "Ah, I hear it again! Amaya, I think she is in trouble!"
Gekko had no reason not to believe his friend, but how was it that Amaya's voice was in his head like this, "Amaya calling for help? How is she calling for help from your head? There's no way..."
"It's Amaya, I know it is..." Catboy replied, "And she needs our help."
"But I thought we weren't suppose to get involved."
"I know, but this time, we have to do something. Amaya wouldn't call for us specifically if she didn't want our help."
This time, the PJ Masks weren't gonna back down. They were going to do everything they could to save their friend. No matter what it took, Amaya was good as found.
Catboy sighed.
"Hang on, Amaya... we'll save you... wherever you may be..."
Wow, a lot happened here. Catboy and Gekko confront all three nighttime villains here, and Catboy ends up with a foot to the face by Night Ninja. I know Romeo and Luna Girl don't do much here, but Ninjy (The nickname Luna Girl gives him in their latest episode, 'Slow Down, Catboy!') is the main baddie here.
And it looks like Amaya may be reaching out to Connor through his mind somehow. He can hear her voice. Now, the PJ Masks are determined to save her. Next, we're gonna steer the focus back on Amaya. Until then, I shall see you guys later, don't forget to review, please. Thank you!
