Chapter 8: Our Quest Part 1

That day after school, Greg met with Connor at his house. They grabbed things that they needed and placed them in backpacks. Including food, first aid kits, and other supplies.

For today, they were gonna start their search for Amaya.

It was gonna be risky for just the two of them. But they had to do what they must to find their friend. The boy told their parents that they were planning to go camping together out of town, so that they wouldn't worry.

For about a week, it depends on how long it takes to find Amaya.

"Okay, you ready?" Connor asked.

"I guess." Greg replied, "I'm still not sure about this, Connor. This sounds like a dangerous mission. Maybe we should let the police continue searching."

"It's been almost four days, Greg. If they can't find her... we will. Amaya would want us to be the ones to save her. She's in trouble and I can sense it. And if we don't find her and save her soon... I'll... I'll never forgive myself..."

Connor looked down for a few seconds, trying hard to not think of the unthinkable that could happen to Amaya. But he took a deep breath and he put his backpack on, "Well, let's go. Besides, you're the one who wanted to go save her anyways."

"It's a good thing this week is Spring Break, so we won't have to worry about missing school." Greg pointed out.

It was true. School was out for whole week, so this would give the boys a chance to go on their mission without any delays or interruptions. They both checked one last time to see if they had everything they needed... including the most important item, their pajamas. There was no telling if they needed to be Catboy and Gekko anytime during the night.

With that, and after getting bus passes from their mothers, the boys were on their way.

Don't worry, Amaya... we're coming... Connor thought to himself.

By four thirty, Connor and Greg were on the bus to the campsite where they will staying for the most part while on their mission. As they sat, Greg had a question, "Hey, Connor... do you think maybe the Nighttime Villains had something to do with what happened to Amaya? I mean, I know they said they didn't... but they're villains, they could have been lying."

Connor frowned, "That's what I think too. Those villains definitely know something, I guarantee it. The next time we run into them, we'll have more questions. But do you know who I think is the most responsible?"

"Maybe it's Romeo. He did capture me and Amaya when he made robots out of us. But I'm not sure if he would use us to take over the world. Luna Girl may like to steal things, but I don't think she would steal people."

"Which leaves Night Ninja." Connor confirmed, "Especially after the way he was last night. He hurt me... and he said something about having something planned for us... doesn't that sound suspicious to you?"

Greg nodded, "Now that you mention it, it does. You don't think..."

"... That Night Ninja was the one who kidnapped Amaya? Well, we won't know until there's proof... proof..."

Suddenly, Connor started to remember something... he started to remember something Night Ninja said a few nights prior to Amaya's disappearance.

"Perhaps. But I won't hurt her too much. But I'll let you know this, pussy cat! Very soon... Owlette will be mine!"

"Owlette will be mine..." Connor whispered to himself. "Owlette will be mine..."

Greg looked at him in confusion, until Connor explained, "It all makes sense, Greg! Night Ninja said that Owlette will be his! And one night I had a nightmare about someone taking Amaya away from me! Don't you get it? It WAS Night Ninja! He did kidnap Amaya!"

"It does make sense... but what would he want with Amaya?" Greg asked, "If he did kidnap her."

"That's what we need to find out." Connor replied, "But first, we have to find Amaya, and then we'll give Night Ninja a taste of his own medicine. No one takes away our friend and gets away with it."

About two hours later, the boys made it to their destination. An open field surrounded by trees and nature, and nothing but. They decided to go ahead and set up came, as it was already getting dark, "Connor, why did we go out so far away from the city? Amaya couldn't possible be out here... right?" Greg had to ask as they started to walk through the woods.

"It doesn't hurt to look, Greg." Connor answered, "And there's a chance we may see Night Ninja."

"And that's it, we don't know where he could be keeping her. And I doubt he would keep her out in the woods."

"You have a point. Now if I were Night Ninja, where would I hide a hostage...?"

Connor... Greg... help me...please... I need you guys...

Connor groaned as he held his head, "I can still hear her in my mind. She really needs us, which means we have to find her soon before anything bad happens."

With that, the boys continued searching through the woods, with their backpacks, flashlights, and pajamas pack in case of a PJ Masks sized emergency. While this was all going on, about an hour away from where the boys were...

"Will anybody ever find me?"

Amaya was staring outside of the window in her hospital room. It had been four days... four painful and stressful days since Night Ninja brought her here. And there seemed to be no signs of anything taking notice of the hospital.

After Night Ninja caught her with Natalie the night before, he punished her by means of those darn nunchucks, leaving bruises and even bleeding. If this boy planned on marrying her, then he was going to make a very abusive husband.

In short, she was sore all over.

But all she could think about was what poor Natalie had to go through. Although she didn't see it, there was the possibility that Night Ninja punished her more than he punished Amaya. How he could be so hard on such a little girl, she didn't know. All she knew, was that when she could escape... she had to get Natalie away from Night Ninja, no matter attached she was to him.

As she continued to look outside the window, she noticed the trees in the distance. Amaya knew that it was part of a huge wood area where people could go camping whenever they liked. Oh how she wished she was camping with Connor and Greg right now.

Connor and Greg.

Why haven't they started searching for her? She'd figured that they would become Catboy and Gekko, and find her. It's been four days now. Where are they? Where they even searching at all?

Well, someone better find her soon, she didn't know how much longer she can stay with the crazy ninja.

By the time she turned around, she saw a Ninjalino at the door, most likely to let her know that it was time for dinner. Well, she had to give Night Ninja this, at least he was feeding her. He could have just let her starve to death, but no.

Maybe he wasn't so bad.

Amaya nodded and left to room, escorted by the Ninjalino. Down in the café, Night Ninja smirked when he saw his love sitting at the table, "Well, Amaya, did you learn your lesson from last night...?" He asked her.

"Yep, I learned my lesson..." She muttered.

"Good... now you'll know to STAY in your room until I say otherwise..."

Soon, their food was brought to them. As they began eating (And Amaya still wondering how Night Ninja can eat wearing a mask), the nasty ninja spoke, "Well, princess. The wedding is coming up soon, and there will be some very special guests... like Romeo... Luna Girl... and that kitty and lizard as the biggest special guests..."

Amaya gasped, "You're not planning on kidnapping them too... are you?"

"Oh no..." Night Ninja chuckled, "I'd rather wait for them to come to us first... my Ninjalino says that they're in the area... he spotted them in the forest and they're bound to stumble across my secret lair anytime now."

So... they were looking for her. Amaya felt happy and relieved. She would finally be saved... but...

"If you try to hurt them..." She began to warn, until the ninja put his finger to her lips.

"Shhh... I won't hurt..."

She sighed again with relief.

"As long as you do what I say and cooperate with me."

She frowned deeply, she should have known. Night Ninja would do anything to hurt her, even hurting her friends. But he wouldn't as long as she was good and behaved. Amaya had to make sure of that. But she was glad to know that Connor and Greg were out there looking for her.

In fact, it wouldn't surprise her if they were standing outside the hospital right now...

Meanwhile...

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Catboy and Gekko were busy trying to outrun a bear they had encountered in the forest. The two boys had changed when they kept hearing noises and signs of a Nighttime Villains, only to end up face to face with a grizzly bear.

"Uh, I think now would be the time to speed out of here!" Gekko said as they ran.

"You've got the right idea, Gekko!" Catboy replied, "Super Cat Speed!"

Taking the lizard heroes hand, the cat hero sped through the forest, losing the bear, as they made it back to the camp grounds, and into their tent. By now, the boys sighed in relief, before turning back into Connor and Greg. "That was close..." Greg sighed.

"Too close if you ask me..." Connor replied. "Well, it's pretty late, so I guess we should go to sleep for now and wait until tomorrow to continue looking for Amaya..."

With that, the boys decided to hit the sack for now. But Amaya was still on Connor's mind. If the woods and forest were this dangerous, then maybe that bear could have... eaten Amaya?

No... it's not possible. There's no way...

Help me, guys... I know you're close by... please... I need help...

There goes her voice in his head. They're near by...

"Greg... I heard her voice again... she says we're close by... which means that we're close to wherever she is... first things tomorrow morning, we'll go looking, okay?"

"Okay..." Was Greg's tired response before he quickly feel asleep.

Connor yawned softly before falling asleep himself.

We're coming for you, Amaya... we're coming...

Well, Connor and Greg have started their quest, and realize that they are closer to Amaya than they thought they would be. And Night Ninja knows that they're in the area, and plans to 'invite' them to the wedding. Next chapter, we'll continue to see the boys, but a certain delay interrupts their mission. So until then, I shall see you guys later, and don't forget to review, please. Thank you.
