AN- Hi. Enjoy everyone! Sorry for the delay, we have a teeny situation at home. Finally finished this. I may be slow down since. . . well, It's complicated.

Kai leaped tree to tree swiftly with Lloyd above his shoulder. Exiting from the site, he finally catches to the bounty sitting on the earthy ground. Gently put Lloyd down and went to the chains, as Lloyd tailing Kai back to meet his brothers and Wu. Hustling back to the bounty, encountering his teacher patiently awaiting his students arrival. Lloyd rushes to Sensei and hug him tightly. Master of Fire watches a touching moment. For a split second, noticing the Ice Ninja was absent.

"Sensei, was Zane with Jay? I was guiding Lloyd back home." Kai asked, curiously.

"Kai, only Jay arrived. I thought Zane was with you."

Lloyd releases his grip on Sensei and said "But Zane wasn't with us at all."

Kai rose to his master "Zane never reached to the bounty? Where-" Kai suddenly felt an urge to stare back to the forest. He did and went to the rails, grasping and leaning his body on the rail. Observing the muted plains, searching for Zane arrival. . .

On the same time, Jay exited from the control room, checking Nya if she's safe. Stepping down the stairs, noticing the slowpokes arrive in short nick of time. Carefully not to fall in on the undermined bounty, reaching Lloyd. As for Kai, grinding his teeth in rage.

"Hey Lloyd. I'm glad you're sa-" Jay said. But interrupted by someone hardly noticing someone is missing!

"JAY!" Jay jumped; crazed Kai stomped and rushed to Jay in a snap. Grabbing Jay's shirt and lifted him into the air "Where's Zane? He was supposed to be with you!"

Never seen in his life, petrified when the moment Kai lifted him and shouting for abruptly reasons of the nindroid. Knowing they already lose their leader "Hey, hey! Zane probably be somewhere in the bounty!" Jay protested.

"If he is, then why the heck would he investigate an empty room and the event happening outside of the room?!" Kai snapped, went nose to nose with Jay. Jay squirmed of Kai grip of his clothing. But was stopped when Sensei snapped.

"Kai! Stop this at once! This is inflammatory, using against your teammate won't lead you anywhere! Don't you learn your teammates teach you not to fight!"

Kai stood silently, loosen his grip and Jay jerked back. Straightening his clothing from Kai curling up his gi using his fists. Jay responded calmly to the Master of Fire "Kai, Zane was ahead of me. I thought he arrive first and I tried to find him somewhere in the bounty."

Kai darted his eyes away from the Blue Ninja clad for a brief moment to relax his stressful days. In haled deeply and let it all out from his rampage, shot at Jay for missing member. Had enough with the loss of Cole. Kai closed his eyes while Jay examined the unstable Fire Ninja. Once he managed to control his emotion, glanced to Jay, nodded once and said "Jay, let's go find Zane. He must stayed behind for Cole."

"Okay, I'm with you. Don't do that again Kai. You almost scare the heck out of me. I was about to uhh, never mind!" Jay said, reaching to the chains.

While Kai went to the rail, Lloyd spoke up "Guys, be careful. Just... watch out for my dad." Kai and Jay nodded once, signature their body that they know what to do (As always). Throw themselves over the rail and left the bounty.

As the Ninja left the bounty, Sensei went to Lloyd and patted his back gently. "Don't worry Lloyd, my students know what to do. And hope they bring back Cole." Sensei chipped. Kai and Jay are fond from Sensei or Lloyd; they know what to do and they will succeed as a team. But Cole to strife against his teammates, was devastating among each person he knew, a raid was all planned from Lord Garmadon.

Lloyd met to his Uncle eyes, blinking a few times "Do you think they'll bring back Cole since my dad turn him evil?"

Sensei glance over the bounty, staring at the vast plains where the Ninjas had left "Let's hope they will."

While the Ninjas landed on their feet meeting the ground, Kai take a plain view of the wrecked home. He shook his head "Jay, when will the bounty will be flying again?"

"Well Nya explains the bounty will be back flying in two days. . ." Contemplating the bounty, he got an idea. He smirked wildly, rushing towards Kai standing.

"Kai, I know how to fix the problem," The Master of Fire eyed to the Blue Ninja clad "How?" Kai asked, astonished Jay opinion.

"Like a good neighbor, State Farm is. . . there!" Jay laughed historically, gesturing his body like ranch style. At the end of the sentence, he puts his index and thumb and made a click sound.

Kai face palmed. Sighing, Kai finally said "First, the commercial was just an advertisement. Second, you're an idiot. Lastly, I got to say, good one. But you're an idiot."

Jay swift his hands and rested on both his hips, eyes closed. How ironic saying their home and a transportation in one "Thanks Kai! Well, I notice you stop your come backs against me. Are you saying that I win? Well, I declare that-"

Pause his mouth movement, as he looked over his shoulder, noticing Kai bolted off to the plains heading to the snakes liar: The Lost City of Ouroborus. Jay flailing his hands, chasing his Fire Ninja friend "Kai, wait! Don't you forget about me! I was explaining I won victorious!" Jay claimed coolly.

AN-Past 3 weeks wasn't my day. But I'll get my luck back!
