"You're not taking my son," Ali cried.
"Yes we are," Skales said, walking into their view.
"You've already taken her from us," William cried. "Isn't that enough."
"No, now are we doing this the easy or hard way," Skales said.
Ali stood in front of William, Kai and Skylor at her side.
"You've already tormented him enough!" Ali cried. "You kidnapped him, hurt him and nearly killed him."
"I don't care, I have a goal here," Skales said. "It involves all the kids here and you can't stop me. If I have to, I'll seperate you from them."
"You can't," Kai cried. "We'll stop you."
"Try me," Skales said.
Kai started running at him with Ali and Skylor crying after him to stop. Kai was knocked down and held on the ground. A snake inserted a needle into his neck and Kai screamed. He then blacked out.
"Kai!" Skylor cried.
She ran to his side, not learning from his mistake. She too was knocked out cold by the serum in the needle.
"Come now Ali, don't you want to join you friends," Skales said, approaching her.
"You can't do this," Ali said. "I won't let you."
Ali threw a punch at Skales, but he grabbed the punch and forced her onto her knees.
"Mom!" William cried out. "Please don't hurt her."
"So, you'll come with me," Skales said, holding the needle to Ali's neck.
"William, don't do it," Ali said. "Please, I'll be fine."
"I-I-I'll come but leave her alone," William said.
"Fine, a deal's a deal," Skales said, releasing Ali so she would fall face first into the ground.
Skales grabbed William and pushed him to the door. He looked back and saw Ali looking at him, sorrow in her eyes.
"Mom," he said to her, "I'll come back to you."
Sam helped Ali up. Ali watched in horror as William was taken from her.
"William," she mumbled.
"Please," Sam said to Ali. "You must calm yourself. We all know William. He can protect himself."
Ali nodded, tears forming in her eyes. She clutched the necklace holding the elements. None of the kids knew her secret, not even her own son.
A knock came at the door and Lloyd opened it.
"Hey Lloyd, long time no see," Jay smiled.
"Where's our Jason?" Nya asked.
"I've been wondering the same thing about Sam," Zane informed them, sitting with Ella on the couch.
"That's what I've gathered us together for," Lloyd replied.
Cole walked out of the kitchen, arms full of chips. Lloyd cocked his head as Cole laid the bowls full of chips on the table. They sat on the couch together in a group. PIXAL had been working so Zane brought Ella. Ella cuddles close with Zane, being about ten years old.
"What have the kids gotten into this time?" Jay asked.
"I fear it's more than just our kids," Lloyd sighed, "but some friends as well."
"But who?" Zane asked.
"You remember how Kai, Skylor and Ali died in a plane crash a few years ago," Lloyd said.
"You said we'd never have to talk about this again," Nya cried out.
"I know, but it's important," Lloyd said.
Ella whispered something to Zane and Zane nodded.
"Can I take Natalie outside?" she asked Nya.
Nya agreed and Ella took Jay and Nya's five year old daughter outside to the backyard. This gave us alone time to talk about this.
"They're alive," Lloyd said.
"What!" Cole cried.
"How!" Jay added.
"Lloyd, I think you need help," Zane said. "We searched the crash sight and there was no sign of life."
"Skales," Lloyd started.
"Skales is gone, there have been no serpentine sightings in years," Cole said.
"WOULD YOU GUYS STOP INTERRUPTING ME!" Lloyd screamed.
They went silence. The room was silent for Lloyd hardly yells
"I'm sorry, but you need to listen to me," Lloyd said. "William was kidnapped."
"Lloyd," Nya started.
"Let me finish," Lloyd told her. "Skales call an hour after we last saw him. He had William. That proves how Skales is alive and out to get them."
"But what does this have to do with Kai, Skylor and Ali?" Zane asked.
"Skales claimed he only wanted the kids and that he would kill William if I interfered," he said. "So I secretly placed a recording device on Kyra. They allowed themselves to be caught and I heard all the conversations. I also know where they are."
"Ok," Jay said. "And…."
"And I heard this," Lloyd said, playing a recording.
"Hold on, I got this one," a voice said.
"Is that…" Jay started but Nya hushed him.
The was silence and sounds of movement. No talking
"William!"
"Oh Kyra, you're OK," William replied
"That's Kyra and William," Lloyd said.
"I remember them as kids doing that," another voice said.
Tears began forming in Nya's eyes, she hugged Jay tightly hearing that voice.
"Kai, Skylor, Ali, how are you all alive!" Jason cried out.
"The plane crashing was just a decoy," Kai sighed. "It never actually took off. Skales attacked us after we got the airport. He kidnapped us and brought us here. He crashed the plane, making everyone think we died so no one would get suspicious."
Lloyd stopped the recording.
"They're alive," Nya mumbled, tear streaming from her eyes. "Kai's really alive."
"They're in the sewers, under the old library," Lloyd said. "If I get caught in there though.."
"No more William," Zane said. "He never said anything to us though."
"Zane's right, enough's enough," Cole stood up. "It's time we get our family back together."
I smiled at them.
"I'll watch Ella and Nattie," Lloyd said.
"We'll go rescue the kids," Jay said. "And our teammates."
"Ready to go do some ninjaing like old times," Cole smiled.
"You bet," Jay said.
"I'm in," Nya said.
"Let's save some family," Zane said.
They ran out the door to rescue the kids, but Zane turned back to Lloyd.
"And once everyone's save, I think it's best that everyone knows our secret," Zane said.
Lloyd nodded. He just wondered how they'd take it.
So many issues getting this chapter ready. Bringing teams back together. I feel like I will make this a Trilogy. Tell me what you think about that idea. If I do, the title will change a slight bit. It will become Ninjago Elementalists: The new Team or Ninjago Elementalists: Finding Red. I'm still deciding.
Question: What do you think Zane, Ali and Lloyd are keeping from everyone?
So, in the reviews, please give me your ideas on the Trilogy, the titles and and answer to the question. That is if you review, which Please do.
