And now to the story!
"Nya?"
"Kai!" Nya wheezed.
Kai couldn't believe what he saw. His 'dead' sister is laying down in a casket, unable to talk or move properly.
"Nya...what's happened to you?" Kai asked.
"Please just get me out of here, please," Nya said, begging.
Kai leaned over and carried Nya bridal style. Nya was limp, so her head lolled backwards.
"Can you move?" Kai asked.
"Not really, I'm very weak, and they put something in me to keep me paralyzed," she said weakly, then started to cry.
"You're safe now. No one can hurt you anymore," Kai comforted her.
They escaped the room, and reached the hallway leading to waiting room when it dawned on Kai; how will he get an ill-looking person all the way to the bounty without anyone stopping him?
Kai put Nya down for a moment to try to think of something.
"Kai, this—thing they put in me...I can feel it slowly killing me. We need to get home," she said exhaustedly.
"I know," he said, frustrated. "I don't know what to do. If I go out there, they'll stop me, and I can't just stay here, or else you'll get worse," he murmured to himself.
Kai groaned in frustration, and shot a blast of fire at the wall. Miraculously, he hit a button, opening a door that led to a spiral staircase upwards.
"I guess that's our ticket out of here," Kai said. He picked Nya up again, and they rushed up the stairs.
About halfway up, Nya gasped in pain while clutching her chest.
"Nya, what are you feeling?" Kai asked.
"My—my chest hurts. My heart—it feels like it's skipping every—every beat."
"Nya, please don't die on me," Kai said frantically.
"Kai—while I'm still here, tell them it has been an honour to fight alongside—my family," Nya said faintly.
"Don't say that, Nya, please," Kai begged, unable to accept the inevitable.
"And tell Jay—I would have said yes," she murmured.
"Nya," Kai sobbed.
"Kai, you have been such—such an amazing brother to me. I could never have asked anymore," Nya said as tears streamed out of her eyes. She groaned in pain again. Slowly, the world spun and disappeared right in front of her eyes.
"No, Nya," Kai said, breathless from the countless steps and from his sister dying in his arms.
Even though Kai felt hopeless, the anger of being incapable of saving his sister surged through his veins, and pushed him to move faster.
He reached the top of the staircase, and forced the trapdoor above his head upwards. Sunlight flooded the dark corridor as he stepped onto the roof of the hospital.
He looked for a way to get off of the roof to safety. He spotted a red, moving object in the sky. "Destiny's Bounty," he said. "If only there was a way to get on it...I can carry Nya and fly on my elemental dragon," he muttered to himself.
With all of the energy he had left, he conjured a fire dragon, and soared across the sky with his sister in his arms.
Once he reached the ship, he laid her down and yelled, "Misako! Sensei! Come and help me!"
Misako and Wu came rushing onto the ship's deck, and stood there in shock of seeing Nya's body.
"She said they injected her with something, and it paralyzed her," Kai said with much more calmness than he was letting on.
"No, it can't possibly be..." Misako said.
"If it is, then time is of the essence. We must help her immediately," Wu said.
Kai picked his sister up, and brought her to her room. He stood beside her as Wu and Misako rushed about the room, trying to find special equipment.
"Kai, if you want to help your sister, you must leave," Wu said.
Kai sighed. "Okay."
He walked out and closed the door of the bedroom, heading towards the control room.
"Guys, we need you back at the ship," Kai's voice echoed through the ninja's communication device.
"I thought we were going to the funeral home," Lloyd said.
"Something big's changed. I just can't tell you right now, it'll be too much. Just meet me at the ship," Kai said.
He heard the buzz of their communication device turning off, and he was alone again.
As the adrenaline subsided, he couldn't stop his thoughts of Nya, and how she was still alive. He slowly leaned and slid down the wall, allowing him to sit against the wall with his legs pulled up in front of him.
The ninja bursted through the door of the control room, all with concerned looks on their faces.
"What happened?" Cole asked.
"Nya is alive," Kai said. "I found her in a room full of caskets at the hospital."
The room went silent. All of the ninja needed a moment to comprehend what Kai just said.
"But...they had injected her with some sort of poison that causes her to be paralyzed, and it was slowly getting to her heart. By the time she—I had brought her to the ship, she blacked out," Kai said. He stood up abruptly and aggressively, and pinned Jay to the wall with his hands. "It's all your fault, Jay! If you hadn't yelled at my sister, if you hadn't cared so much, none of this would have happened!"
Jay was speechless. His own brother, the same brother who he was comforting in the morning, is accusing him of killing Nya.
Finally, his voice came back. "I don't need you to blame me for Nya's death. I'm already doing it myself," Jay said forcefully but quietly as his eyes started to water.
Kai let go of Jay, an abrupt look of pity showing on his face, and walked back to where he was before.
Lloyd, being the first to react to what Kai said, walked over to Kai and said, "Kai, it isn't anyone's fault, you did everything you could to help your sister, but sometimes, if something is meant to happen, it will no matter what."
Suddenly, the door whipped open, revealing Misako. "We need you guys over at the other end of the ship. It's...important," she said.
The ninja rushed out of the control room, and followed Misako.
So, whaddya think?
