"Who would do this?" Jason asked.
"No clue," Brock replied.
"I feel like these flames aren't normal," William commented.
Then a Flashback occurred in William's head. He suddenly remembered where he had seen those flames before. The park earlier that week.
"No, they couldn't have," William cried in disbelieve as the final flame died out.
"William, what are you talking about?" Brock asked.
"I think someone's lost it," Jason added.
"Those flames, aren't natural," William claimed. "They're man made."
"Yeah, so…." Sam said, waiting for WIlliam to finish.
"I saw them at the park when the snakes attacked," William said. "In Kyra's spinjitzu."
"You don't mean," Jason started.
"They could have turned Kyra, our own friend, against us," Sam finished for his speechless friend.
"We have to hurry," William said. "We have to rescue Kyra, before it's too late."
They opened a manhole into the sewer system, one by one climbing in. They followed a path, along the walls. Once they heard the snakes voices, they knew that they were close.
"Bravo," Skales cheered. "Those ninja won't figure out our plan. They'll never stop us, since we have one of them on our side."
"They've turned Kyra," Sam said. "Don't harm her, we have to find a way to save her."
William nodded in agreement. He wanted this to be the end of the snakes. They were never to cause problems ever again after this.
William, Sam, Brock and Jason snuck in the shadows until the groups dispersed, leaving an opening for them to attack. They charged at Skales, only for a cage to fall onto them.
"I even said it," Skales said. "They wouldn't see it coming."
"You knew we were listening," William cried.
"Of course," Skales said. "Kyra, you know what to do with them."
Kyra nodded, approaching them. A snake handed her a taser, scaring the others.
"Kyra, snap out of it!" William yelled.
"William, it's pointless," Sam said. "She won't listen to you. She's being control by Skales."
Jason suddenly screamed and fell. Kyra stood on the other side of the cage, electricity flowing through the taser. Then WIlliam saw the collar on her neck. He needed to get it off the get Kyra back.
"Get away from the bars!" Brock yelled.
They all crowded into the center of the small cage. They were just out of Kyra's reach, so she walked inside the cage. William ran into a corner as Brock fell. Kyra went for Sam, leaving William to make an escape plan. He snuck towards the door Kyra came in through, trying not to be seen. He made the dash, only to heard Sam scream. He made it to the door, but Kyra grabbed his arm.
"No! Please!" William begged.
"Begging," Skales chuckled. "What, scared of a taser. Bring him to me."
Kyra pulled WIlliam's hands behind him, forcing him towards Skales. William tried to break free, but couldn't.
"You try anything and the power level on the taser will go up," Skales warned. "You're father was a large pest to the serpentine, and you'll pay for it."
William gulped. That's when an idea came to him.
"Why me, you can just make my father pay," William asked.
"It wouldn't affect the ninja who defend this pathetic world today," Skales replied. "Plus, you new friend here will be doing it, against her will."
WIlliam's eyes widened. Kyra was going to kill him. No, he had to stop this, here and now.
"How about I make you a deal then?" William said.
"A deal, I'm listening," Skales said.
"A fight, me versus any opponent of your choice," William said. "I win, we are free, including Kyra, and you are to never bother the civilians again."
"And if I win, I can kill you, and the other ninja of your generation," Skales grinned, "in front of all of Ninjago City."
William gulped. This was up to him.
"Deal," William said.
"Deal," Skales agreed.
Skales smirked at William, not realizing the mistakes being made.
"And you said whoever I want," Skales hissed. "So I choose Kyra."
"What!" WIlliam screamed.
"Anyone I want, and she's who I want you to fight," Skales smiled in victory. "You're rules. Let the fight begin!"
William was released from Kyra's grasp as she took a fighting stance. She was ready to do this. William wasn't ready though.
Kyra charged at William, a flaming fist, just missing his face. He shot an energy ball back at her. He had no choice. She landed face first on the ground. Then he remembered something from Music Class.
"You said you hurt yourself," WIlliam started. "What did you hurt?"
"I broke my ankle in May," Kyra sighed. "It still comes back to hurt me."
William snapped back into reality just in time to dodge a punch. He jumped, kicking Kyra in the back of the head. She toppled to the ground.
"William!" Sam screamed. "What are you doing?!"
"Saving us," William replied.
He grabbed Kyra by her right ankle, the one she broke, swinging her against a wall. Kyra kit the wall, screaming in pain.
William's eyes widened, seeing he had displaced her ankle. It was turning black and blue. William pulled out a shuriken, aiming at the right spot.
"I hope this works," he said to himself.
He shot it, watching as it hit Kyra's neck. It cracked the collar, splitting it. Kyra snapped back, not knowing what had just happened. She then started holding her ankle in pain. William notice the shuriken had also made a fair sized gash in her arm.
"No, no, no!" Skales yelled, realizing he had lost.
"A deals a deal," William said. "Now we're free to leave and you can't both us ever again."
"Fine," Skales groaned in defeat.
William released Sam, Jason and Brock from the cage. Skales had disappeared, so they just went to helping Kyra.
"I'll call for an ambulance," Sam said.
He stepped aside as Brock and WIlliam helped Kyra up.
"Don't put weight on your foot," Brock warned Kyra.
"It's too much, I can't walk," Kyra cried in pain.
Brock sighed and lifted her up, carrying her bridal style. Kyra held back screams of pain.
"An ambulance will meet us by the old hospital," Sam said.
"Quickly." William said.
They ran for the way out, Brock being careful with Kyra as she held on tightly. Once they arrived, Jason pushed the manhole cover aside, climbing out first, Sam close behind him.
"Guys! Over here!" Jason yelled to the paramedics.
Brock and WIlliam were trying to figure out how to get Kyra out as the paramedics arrived at the manhole.
"We're going to send down a rope, tie the injured girl to it and we'll pull her out," a paramedic called to them.
"Kyra, everything will be Ok," William assured her. "We'll be right behind you."
"Jason, go get our parents and meet us at the hospital!" Brock called to him.
"I'm on it, see you there!" Jason replied, running towards the Garmadon household.
Brock and William watched as a rope was lowered down to them. WIlliam noticed the harness attached to it. He strapped Kyra into it as Brock held her, not wanting her to get hurt more.
"You climb up after her," Brock told William.
WIlliam nodded and as Kyra was slowly lifted up, WIlliam stayed close behind her. Once they were at the top, the paramedics loaded Kyra onto a stretcher, carrying her into the ambulance.
"Would one of you three like to come with us?" a paramedic asked.
"No, but if we could follow behind, that would be great," Sam said.
He created a ball of white energy, which changed into a snowmobile. William and Brock did the same, William creating a dirt bike and Brock an ATV.
"Alright, I'll alert the police," the paramedic said, climbing in the driver's seat of the ambulance. "A5 to Police HQ. We have some people following us to the hospital, to bikes and a four wheeler."
"Ten-four," the police officer replied.
"Ok, let's move out," the paramedic said.
The lights flew on, sirens blaring loudly as the ambulance sped away. William, Brock and Sam stayed close behind. They just hoped that Kyra would be Ok.
And there you go. Another chapter. I will hopefully update once more before I go on vacation. The latest chapter for Secret Realm has a big thing about my trip and I will be away for a while. I will try to avoid cliff hangers before I leave so there won't be a big question like what's going to happen to them, but I will try to leave something. When I get back, I will probably update a few chapters right away. I hope you enjoy and I will hopefully update once more before my trip.
