About two hours after WIlliam was returned, Ali was doing everything she could, with Sam's help. Sam himself was worried because Skales had yet to take his powers and time was running slim. His friends were weak and tired. All he could do was try.

"I don't understand why he's doing this," Sam moaned.

"I don't understand why he still hasn't come for you," Ali replied. "All the others are powerless and you still have your powers."

Jason, Brock and WIlliam slowly fell asleep.

"Let them sleep, they need to save what energy they have left," Ali sighed, turning to Kyra. "It's her I'm worried about. Her temperature keeps dropping and if it doesn't stop soon, she'll die. I can't do much for her."

Sam ran over to Kyra, lifeless on the floor. He picked her up and carried her over to the others. He gently set her down beside WIlliam, whose eyes opened to see what was happening. He smiled when he saw Kyra beside him. He hugged her and cuddled up with her.

"Her temperature leveling," Ali sighed in relief. "William's warmth is helping."

Sam smiled slightly.

"Ok, sorry that it took a while, but we're ready for the final power," Skales said. "Sam."

Sam sighed. It was over.

"Oh no you don't!" someone cried and sent Skales flying.
"Dad!" Sam cried.

The cell door opened and Zane ran to his son, hugging him. He saw Ali over, trying to help the others.

"Oh no, what happened?" he asked.

"Skales stole their powers," Ali told him.

Sam left and returned moments later with Kai and Skylor. The group was later joined by Jay, Nya and Cole. They ran to their kids.

"Where's Lloyd?" Ali asked.

"Back at home, he didn't want Skales to hurt anyone, like he said in the threat," Zane explained.

"We need to find where he's keeping their powers," Sam said.

"Agreed, Jay, Zane, come on," Kai cried.

Ali lifted up William, Nya lifted up Jason, Cole lifted up Brock and Skylor lifted up Kyra.

"Guys," Ali cried, shooting ice to hold of the snakes charging at them. "They need their powers ASAP."

"Come with us, hurry," Kai cried.

The group ran together towards a storage room. Kai and Sam kicked the door down and saw the vials containing the powers.

"Break them!" Ali cried, blocking the snakes attacks at the door.

Kai dropped the tray holding them, and they shattered. The aura's returned to their respective owners as they woke up.

"We need to get out of her, NOW!" Ali cried.

"Spinjitzu," William suggested.

Everyone smiled. Kai held onto Skylor and everyone ran down the halls.

"NINJAGO!" they cried as the hall filled with multiple mini tornados.

Snakes either ran or were lying on the floor after getting hit. The group made it out of the sewers.

"There's the way out," Kai pointed to a ladder.

"Hurry, they're coming," William said.

Everyone started up the ladder, but Kyra was the last one.

"Come on, Kyra," William cried, worried.

She was nearing the top when a crack was heard. The rung she held onto was breaking under her. It broke and she fell.

"Kyra!" Kai screamed.

She landed in a net, held by the Serpentine. She thrashed around, unable to escape. The snakes started climbing the ladder.

"There's no time, we have to go," Ali said.

"But Kyra," Kai started.

"We'll come back for her, I promise, but we have to get the others back first," Skylor told Kai.

Kai looked back at the sewers, then to Skylor and nodded. They ran after the rest of them towards Lloyd's house. Kai was regretting leaving Kyra in their clutches, but he didn't really have a choice.


Kyra struggled in the net as she was brought back to the Serpentine's base.

"Well, well, well," Skales grinned, seeing the younger red ninja. "Look who got left behind."

Kyra stared at him, terrified. She was trapped, alone.

"I can still do my plan with just one of you," Skales said.

"No," Kyra cried.

"Lock her up, chains and all," Skales ordered.

Kyra struggled in the net, trying to break free. They tossed her in a cell and a Serpentine walked in after her. She was still tangled in the net as the door closed, leaving her trapped in a cell with two snakes.

"No, let go of me," Kyra cried, fighting against the snakes as they untangled her from the net.

Once Kyra was free of the net, she took a fighting stance. She did spinjitzu and sent the snakes flying into the walls. She ran out of the cell, since it was unlocked, and made a break for the exit.

"Ah ha!" Skales cheered, grabbing Kyra. "Where do you think you're going?"

"Let go of me," Kyra yelled.

"You aren't going anywhere," Skales said.

"I escaped fair and square," Kyra yelled.

"Not exactly," Skales grinned.

Skales pulled out a needle and jabbed it into Kyra's neck. She screamed in pain as Skales injected the serum into her.

"That should take care of you for now," Skales said as Kyra blacked out.

Skales carried her back to the cell. He tossed her inside and watched as she was chained up inside.

"Put this over her mouth, I'm tired of her screaming," Skales said, handing a snake a piece of fabric.

The snake tied it around her mouth as she started waking up. She gave muffled cries, fighting the chains.

"It's vengestone, their no escaping that," Skales grinned, watching her struggle. "I'll be back soon, stay put and try not to hurt yourself."

Skales walked away, laughing. Kyra tried to break free from the chains, but was unable to. She was alone, no one to sooth her, no one to save her. Would she ever be saved?

I have the rest of this story planned out and it will be a little longer yet. About three or four more chapters. Many surprises and twists in these stories. If you haven't noticed, I will be making this a Trilogy. Book two will be called Bring the Team Together and Book three will be called Battle for the Elements.

Question: What's going to happen to Kyra?

I hope you're enjoying this. Shout outs to the two people who have been reviewing in every single chapter, Mayor of Ninjago City and Dasher Girl.

Dasher Girl: Of course many secrets have yet to be revealed. There is so much to learn about all these characters.

Mayor of Ninjago City: I will try my best to include Cole, but I can assure you that Kai will be in these stories a lot.

Thank you to everyone for all you support. I really do appreciate everything.
