Pixal paced around her room, she had heard that Cynder had broken a rib or two in their fight. It's not that she cared, it was more of the fact, and they needed to move. Or the nindroids would defiantly find them.

Cynder bolted from the room she had been asked to stay in, panting heavily. She knew the others wouldn't believe her, so she ran to Pixal.

"Pixal!" Cynder screamed. Her pace slowed.

Pixal knew that Cynder would only come for her for help if she had to. So Pixal bolted out to find her.

"What is wrong?" Pixal asked, once she had found Cynder.

"The nindroids…They broke into the room I was asked to wait in, we need to get what we need from this place and get out." Cynder panted.

"Understood, did you tell the others?" Asked Pixal.

"If I told them, they would just think I'm having a schizophrenic attack." Cynder said.

"Are you positive it was real?" Asked Pixal. There was a loud sound a glass shattering, and they were back to back in the middle of a crowd of nindroids.

"Believe me now?" Asked Cynder.

"Yes. You know how to fight correct?" Pixal looked around.

"Ya I do." Cynder said.

"Can you fight with your ribs being broken?" Pixal shifted, wondering why they hadn't tried to attack them yet.

"I could care less about the pain it causes." Cynder immediately slammed one of her fists into one of the nindroids. Pixal and Cynder were being forced to fight together.

"Pixal!" Cynder noticed Cryptor had a knife. She tackled Pixal, and used her magic to freeze the nindroids. They both look into each other's eyes.

"Are you alright?" Pixal asked.

"Ya, you?" Asked Cynder.

"I will be fine." Pixal noticed blood.

"Are you sure you are okay?" Pixal asked.

"Positive, let's get the others and get out of here." Cynder said.

"Thank you, Cynder." Pixal said.

"Don't mention it. I save who deserves to be saved, I want Zane happy, even if it means he isn't with me." Cynder said.

"I want him happy too…But I want him as well." Pixal said.

"If I can keep my clan, I won't return here, he'll be all yours." Cynder said.

"You're lying." Pixal chuckled.

"Maybe…I don't know…" Cynder looked away, heart growing heavy.

"I know things you don't, Pixie. Now come on." Cynder started walking.

"Alright." Pixal said, following her.

The place had already been infected by nindroids, the two got in the vents.

"How are we to get the gear if we can't get in the room?" Pixal whispered.

"Magic, I'll get them." Cynder whispered, using her magic to get the gear from the room they were watching.

After they got all the gear and items they knew they needed, they got out of there.

"Pixal, Cynder! You're alright!" Zane smiled when he saw the two. The others had already fled outside and hidden.

"Yes we are." Pixal said.

"Oh cool you guys got our gear." Kai said.

"Yup. And we can work together if we have to." Cynder said, holding her side.

"I believe you were lying when you said you were alright." Pixal said.

"Come on, we need to get out of here." Cynder said.

"If we move from this hiding place, they'll find us." Cole said.

"If we stay here to long they'll find us." Jay said. Cynder using magic to put the gear into a backpack, mostly shrinking some stuff so it'd fit. She slipped it onto her back and climbed from the small hole.

"Where are you going?" Zane yelped.

"You know what, I might not be allowed in the clan world, but that doesn't mean I can't use the gate as a way to get us out of here. Or at least get you guys out of here." Cynder said.

"We are not leaving you here!" Zane said.

"That's not an opinion sometimes, wither I stay or not." Cynder said.

"If the Overlord-" Cole started.

"I know how to fend for myself." Cynder slipped the bag off and handed it to Pixal.

"Alright once you guys are there, find Vail, ask her to open the Gate to Ninjago, it should open to a different area. Vail should be in her tent." Cynder said, opening the Gate and shoeing the others through. She closed it once they were each in the Clan world; all of them were in the Clan world but her. She ran off, not caring if she got hurt in a battle.

"I'm glad I could help them." Cynder mumbled.

The others found Vail quickly and had asked her, they were back in another area of Ninjago in no time. There was no sight of the nindroids, or Cynder.

"I wonder if she's okay…" Zane mumbled.

"She saved our butts back there. We owe her." Kai said.

"You own me nothing." Cynder had suddenly appeared, legs crossed on a rock.

"Are you alright?" Asked Pixal, noticing more blood than before.

"I'll live, not like pain bothers me so…" Cynder said.

"You're acting depressed, what's wrong?" Nya said.

"Don't worry about it, I'm fine. I just needed to know you guys were safe. We will meet again. Goodbye." Cynder teleported off.

"Cynder!" Zane yelped.

"She just left…She's gonna get killed if she goes to the Clan world early or she's going to get hurt from a fight or something…" Zane paced around.

"Zane, this is the girl who mopped the training room floor with our asses, she'll be fine." Kai said, crossing his arms.

"I still can't help but be worried…I love her…" Zane mumbled.

"Well you still have Pixal. Now we need to set up camp for the night." Kai said. When the items they needed that had been shrunken were taken a couple inches from the backpack, they became full size again.

"That's pretty cool!" Cole said.

"It's better to keep them away from me…I'm too much of an easy target to find…And I'm too dangerous…" Cynder threw her hood over her head and continued walking.

"Cryptor! Over there!" The Mini-Droid pointed to hooded Cynder.

"Shit!" Cynder bolted off, kicking in some magic to make her run faster.

"After her! The Overlord wants her!" Hissed Cryptor, he bolted after her.

"Well camps all set up. At least we're in a forest, we'll be harder to find. And forests normally have berries and stuff." Cole said.

"Do you think Cynder will get caught?" Pixal asked.

"She ran from the cops back where she was originally from for like four years. She'll be fine." Kai said, setting up the fire.

"Four years? That is…Impressive, but these are nindroids, they do not need rest unlike her." Pixal said.

"That's true…Let's hope she stays safe, she's a useful person and a great fighter. If she switches sides or gets caught, we're screwed. The Overlord could easily use her magic against us." Cole said.

"Where did Zane go?" Pixal asked, noticing Zane wasn't in camp.

"Well I'm pretty sure he went to see if there was a lake, he should be back soon." Kai said.

"Alright." Pixal said.

"You shouldn't worry about Cynder, she's smart and she knows what she's doing." Nya said.

"Let us hope so." Pixal said.

"We got you." Cryptor bitterly spat in Cynder's ear as he held her head up by her hair. Upon being caught she tried to fight, but she was hurting and exhausted, so Cryptor was able to win the fight.

"My nose is defiantly broken…" Cynder coughed up blood.

"I don't care. Mini-Droid, do me a favor and take her back to the prison holds." Said Cryptor. The Mini-droid grabbed both of Cynder's wrists and pushed her along in front of him.

She was too exhausted to fight, and she was too exhausted to try to escape.

"Do you think Cynder's okay? She should have at least called by now…" Zane worriedly said.

"She's fine, you know that too." Kai said.

Cryptor had tied Cynder up with anti-magic chains so she couldn't use her magic. She had a gag in her mouth so she couldn't scream or shout.

"Mini-Droid, fix the wounds you have to so she doesn't die. I'm going to ask the Overlord, if we can do something to her that will defiantly enrage Zane. He'll fall right into our trap." Cryptor said as he walked out the door. He poked his head in.

"And feel free to undress her while you're at it." Cryptor smirked, and left.

"Oh this will be wonderful!" The Mini-Droid exclaimed. Cynder's eyes widened and she gulped.

Zane paced, he began to worry even worse.

"I am here too…" Pixal huffed.

"I know…It's just I am worried…I love her as well…You know that…" Zane mumbled. Suddenly his phone vibrated, he pulled it out.

"Oh hey, someone texted me. It was Cynder! Well she probably can't call since she's most likely hiding…" Zane had clicked the message.

"What is it?" Pixal asked. Zane handed Pixal the phone. On it was a photo of Cynder, who was chained up, undressed and covered in white stuff and both of her private areas where oozing with it.

"Read the message." Zane said, covering his face.

"If she wasn't pregnant already, she is now." Pixal read aloud, she had a very blank look on her face before she slowly handed Zane the phone. She was shocked that Cryptor and the nindroids would do such a thing.

"She has a scar on her abdomen…And I can see the one on her eye…Her eye is bleeding, the other is stitched, and some of the other wounds are as well." Pixal said.

"Well…We have to get her back!" Zane said, angered.

"If we try to rescue her, we're going to get caught too." Kai said.

"I know…But I don't want stuff like this to happen to her!" Zane hissed.

"We'll think of a plan to rescue her alright? But I doubt she'll need it, she can probably escape herself." Cole said.

"Those are anti-magic chains, so no she can't." Zane said.

"I don't know Zane. Just wait; well think of something, alright?" Cole said.

"Alright." Zane said.

"Oh how useless, these humans…Witches tire so easily." Cryptor laughed sinisterly.

"I'll get you for this…" Cynder coughed, trying to move, but the chains wouldn't let her.

"Someone gag her." Cryptor ordered and he left the room.

"Alright boss." The Mini-Droid said. It was only Mini-Droid and Cynder in the room. And she had an idea.

"Hey Mini-Droid, how about I show you something that I can only do if I'm unchained? ~ It'll make you feel the heavens. ~" Cynder said, trying to use seduction.

"I'm not that stupid." Mini-Droid said, somewhat annoyed.

"Oh come on. ~ You didn't even get a chance to have any fun, so wouldn't you like a private session? ~" Cynder said.

"Well the taller nindroids kept pushing me outta the way." Mini-Droid mumbled, growing tempted.

"They shouldn't treat you like that. ~ You're a very important person. ~ So why don't you unchain me, so I can show you the heavens? ~" Cynder said. The Mini-Droid bit his lip; Cynder knew he was having trouble resisting.

"Please? ~ I bet your's will feel so much better and I bet you know how to use it better. ~" Cynder said.

"No! I can't disobey General Cryptor!" Snapped Mini-Droid.

"Oh well. ~ I guess that means they use theirs better, their more important and that they're better at everything. ~" Cynder said, knowing how that trick always worked.

"Fine! But if you try anything funny, I can kill you right away!" Mini-Droid said, as he walked over with the key. He unshackled her left foot, she kicked him in the face making sure to use just enough force that would make him pass out and she grabbed the key from the air.

She unlocked the shackles and quickly got her stuff and got dressed. She teleported off to another area, a cave.

"I am so damn lucky boys always think with their…Other brain…Technically speaking." Cynder said.

"I can't sleep…" Zane mumbled.

"I can help you to fall asleep." Pixal said.

"No. The noises you make are horrible. Besides…I want Cynder to be safe…" Zane mumbled. Suddenly his phone rang,

"Hello?" Zane answered his phone.

"It me, Cynder, don't worry I'm fine. I managed to trick the Mini-Droid into releasing me. I used magic to clean myself up, just like I did when I did you know what with you. So I'm fine, I'm safe." Cynder said, she started tearing up.

"Cynder! You're alright! I'm so glad to hear that you are safe!" Zane said.

"Don't come looking for me, alright? I'll be fine, I hope you live a long and full life. Goodbye." Cynder hung up, she was crying.

"It to protect him…I'm trouble…It's just to protect him…And all the others from me…" Cynder rubber her shoulders as tears streamed from her cheeks.

Zane slowly hung up.

"Cynder…" He bit his lip, as he tried not to cry.

"What happened?!" Pixal exclaimed, somewhat worried.

"She's…Not coming back Pixal…She doesn't want me to go searching for her…" Zane started crying.

"Oh my…I will go find her, and see why. I will be back as soon as possible. Please only move the camp if you really have to." Pixal said, getting up and leaving.

"Pixal…Please stay…" Zane cried.

"I will be back, I promise but I wish to know-" Pixal began.

"I don't want to be here with out on of the girls I love…You can just call her and ask her…If she doesn't want to tell you she won't…" Zane said, tears dripped from his cheeks.

"Alright." Pixal walked back into the tent and sat down.

"May I have your phone?" Pixal asked, Zane handed her his phone.

Cynder's cellphone began to ring,

"Cynder speaking." Cynder answered.

"I wish to know why you refuse to return." Said Pixal.

"I have to protect you guys…I'm a monster…That's all I ever have been…" Cynder hung up right after that, she was still crying.

"She said she left to protect us…But this behavior…It started after the fight with the nindroids…What might Cryptor have done to her…Something is wrong. We need to find her." Pixal said.

"Agreed…Let's started at dawn…" Zane mumbled, crying.

"Alright, let us go to sleep." Pixal rubbed his back before lying down.

"She is acting more isolated and depressed…We need to find her soon…I do not wish for her to be dead…Do I?" Pixal whispered to herself, realizing how she didn't care if Cynder got hurt.

Cynder sat in a fetal position, her magic was reacting. She was having trouble dealing with her emotions.

"I have to protect them from me…I'm a monster…I kill people…" Cynder said, placing her hands to her head.

Tears began trickling from her cheeks.

"The voices are screaming again…Make them stop…Please…" Cynder cried out to the figure before her. It disappeared.

"Of course…My schizophrenia is reacting too…I'm so scared…My head hurts and I'm lonely…But I feel angry…I want to rip someone apart…Someone please help…" Cynder whimpered, covering her face as she cried silently.

"She got away?!" Hissed Cryptor.

"Yes, she used this weird gun on her arm! I don't even know how she managed to use it!" The Mini-Droid lied.

"Well I guess I underestimated her. We'll have to step up our attacks, the Overlord wants her. He says he needs her magic for something…He also says we need to somehow get her on our side, she'll be a useful solder, or just a good pleasure toy." Cryptor said.

"We'll find her." Said one of the taller nindroids.

"Good. Fan out!" Ordered Cryptor.

"I need to find a safer place than this…But I need to be able to lock myself away…So I don't hurt anyone." Cynder laughed insanely.

"They're screaming…If I want it to stop I need the Dark Crown but I don't want it…Heh…Well I guess karma is a bitch…But when I was born…I was abused…I guess bad luck is my sort of thing…" Cynder said, sadly.

"One my god what was that? What? Please speak in an inside voice, I can't understand you! Oh my god! Was that a ghost?!" Cynder's head bolted around.

"Maybe we should just kill them all! It'll be fun! Their blood will stain my hands!" Cynder shouted.

"What am I doing…I'm losing it…I'm so scared…" Cynder sat down, covering her face.

"This is so scary…The voices are screaming…I feel like my disorders are bothering me majorly…But that's only because those voices are screaming so loudly…I'm scared but no one is here to save me…No one can save me…" Cynder said, emptily.

"Zane…Wake up…" Pixal pushed against him.

"Go away…." Zane snored.

"Fine, I will try to wake you up in five minutes." Pixal walked out of the tent.

"Morning Pixal." Cole said.

"Good morning." Pixal said.

"Any news from Cynder?" Kai asked.

"Apparently, Cryptor and the nindroids raped her but she managed to get away and is now refusing to return to us because she thinks she is going to hurt us." Pixal said.

"Oh…Well we should probably go find her before she tries to kill herself." Kai said, as he got up.

"I'm going to get Nya, then I'll get Jay. Cole, do me a favor and start taking the tents apart." Kai said.

"I will try to get Zane up." Pixal said.

"Good luck…It's like trying to wake up a brick." Kai said, walking away.

"Well I will find a way to wake him up." Pixal said.

Pixal walked into the tent. Zane mumbled something about Cynder. Pixal kicked him in the stomach, waking him up.

"Oh my god!" Zane shouted, holding his stomach.

"We need to leave soon." Pixal said.

"Why?" Zane groaned as he sat up.

"We must find Cynder, remember?" Pixal rolled her eyes and walked out.

Cynder got up, throwing her hood over her face. She walked out of the cave and started to walk off.

"It's all her fault. My life would be just fine if she dropped dead!" Cynder mumbled to herself as she realized how much she wanted Pixal dead.

"It is her fault, he is like this. My life would be so much better if she dropped dead!" Pixal whispered to herself, realizing how much she wanted Cynder dead.

"What was that?" Zane asked, crossing his arms.

"Nothing." Pixal said.

"It better have been nothing." Zane bitterly mumbled.

"I need to find a better area to hid, this area is too easy to spot." Cynder said, she walked on.

Suddenly Cynder stopped and looked around.

"I know someone is there!" Cynder said. There was no one really there.

"Just walk quickly…They'll stop following you eventually." Cynder whispered, she started to speed walk. She noticed a small crack in the mountain and hid inside it, but it was larger than she thought.

"I have an idea." Cynder smiled, and began to use her magic.

"Alright, we are ready to leave." Pixal said.

"Let's go." Zane said, he started walking.

"I suggest we check caves, Cynder likes those." Nya said.

"Agreed." Zane said.

Author's note:

Suggestions on who should have Zane are still up. (They will be up until the last couple of chapters (maybe.))

Anyways, their were some references (I think.)

The Clan world (it isn't cats by the way, it's a tittle (I have yet to name the actual place)) belongs to me, for those wondering. Veo, Vail and Skyra do belong to me as well. Just for those wondering.

I'm way too tired to think, but I wanted to post the second chapter before I pass out...Any who, I hope you enjoyed it.

(I apologize if anything is uncharacteristic for Cryptor and them, I didn't pay attention to them either. I'm sorry...Also I am/ was writing this while being half asleep so...Ya I'm sorry about that.)
