Here it is, everyone. I'm so sorry it's super short. I promise the chapters will get longer as time goes on. Special thanks to RandomDragon2.0 and The Night Ninja for helping me add chapters. Everyone is always welcome to give some ideas for any of my stories. Enjoy!
Zane POV:
I use my sais to defend myself, swinging them expertly. With PIXAL in my processor, I am now able to fight much better, as she alerts me to anything in my presence. Today she alerted me to something that I wasn't expecting.
"Zane!" she simply says to me. She repeats my name several times, but I am not able to answer for a while.
"PIXAL," I finally manage to speak. "What is the problem?" I watch her. Her face is one of pure shock, reminding me all too well of the look she had years back when I had sacrificed myself to defeat the Digital Overlord. "What is it, PIXAL?" I repeat, the look on her face scaring me.
"Kai. He…" She stops. The words seem to be stuck in her head.
"What has happened to Kai?" I ask her, worry beginning to seep into his gears. I leap over a Serpentine attacking me and disable him with my sais.
I put a hand to my forehead, trying to listen to PIXAL's words as she mumbles something. "PIXAL, please respond!" I'm desperate now. She saw something that no one else did.
"He fell," she finally manages to whisper audibly. I am too shocked to detect the Serpentine behind me. I feel the sharp pain of a club connecting with the back of my head.
Cole POV:
I try to help the villagers board the arrived Bounty, along with Lloyd, who is helping as well as shooting his energy powers at the nearby Serpentine. "We can't keep on the barrage for long," he tells me. "Get Sensei ready to punch it!" I run up the deck, sprinting straight for the bridge.
Nya POV:
How much more of this can I take? These Serpentine sure are hard to fight, especially since I've lost one of my katanas. This is one of those times I wish I had my Samurai X suit with me. I start to sprint back to the Bounty when I see Zane on the ground. He looks like he's out cold.
"Zane!" I rush to him, but he soon is able to pick himself up. He tries to speak to me, but it only comes out as a jumble of gibberish. "Take it easy, buddy," I tell him. "We need to get back to the Bounty. I'll have to fix your speech when I get my tools." We run to the Bounty. Lloyd and Jay meet us.
"That's everyone," Lloyd informs us. "We need to get out of here." We all board the Bounty. Cole punches the button. The boosters shoot us through the sky, away from the approaching rogue snakes.
Moments later, I am working on Zane's drive. "Your speech is out of sorts," I tell him, too busy to think of anything else for the moment. "It'll take me a minute to repair."
Lloyd POV:
There is something in Zane's eyes that scares me. Despite Nya telling him he needed some repairs, he is still trying to speak to me. "What is it?" I ask him, but he only shakes his head, a distraught look on his face.
I look around the ship. "Has anyone seen Kai?"
The Ninja of Lightning shakes his head. "There are too many people here to spot him. I can't see him anywhere."
Our titanium brother looks frantic. But he can't speak right now. I just hope we can find Kai soon.
