The ninja were highly outnumbered.

"We need to contact the other Elementals," said Cole. "We're not gonna be able to win this by ourselves."

Ash noticed Jay was not present. He wondered where he could be.

His thoughts were interrupted by Skylor, who busted into the bridge.

"I contacted Shade, Neuro, Karloff, Grifffen Turner, Tox, Jacob, Bolobo, Paleman, Gravis, Chamille...anyone I'm forgetting? They're on their way."

Cole shook his head.

And wit that, they rushed into battle.

. . . . . .

These enemies were different than what the Elementals had battled before. They were stronger, too.

Ash was having a little difficulty.

These Warriors were at least six feet tall, they were made of metal, which led Ash to guess they were robots.

He needed to figure out how to shut a mass amount of them down.

They couldn't be electrically wired, because when he tore one apart by puffing inside it, then reforming, he learned they were, in fact, not wired internally.

But he saw a red light, coming from under some kind of protection. Quickly, he pried the metal off, the he saw it was powered with nuclear energy.

Hmm. This was not good.

He heard a scream amongst the battle field. A robot was cornering a mother, who was cradling her baby against her chest.

The robot raised its arm mounted laser gun.

Without thinking, Ash puffed in front of the mother, and reformed, then, using particles of gas, he made a wall, which disintegrated the laser beam.

The mother gasped and sighed with relief, then thanked Ash. Ash shuffled the mother and her child to a safe spot.

He ran back out into the battlefield.

He saw Nya, struggling against a blue figure.

Jay.

Anger boiled within him. Why couldn't he just leave her alone?!

He was pushed back by a robot, but he puffed behind it and ripped out its nuclear power core.

He continued towards Jay.

Nya had a firm hold on the battle. Jay was faster with his movements, but Nya was wiser. She knew where and when he was going to strike or move, by watching him.

Jay tackled her. She tried to dodge, but she was milliseconds too late.

He pulled something out of his pocket.

A syringe of some sort, filled with a reddish liquid.

Jay struck her face with his fist, and she was knocked out.

Jay injected the syringe into her neck, but it only inserted about a quarter of the liquid when Ash tackled Jay off of Nya.

Ash knew he needed to help Nya, and that he needed to knock Jay out as soon as possible.

He puffed, and waited to reform behind Jay as soon as he got frustrated.

Jay looked like he was about to lose it.

He puffed. He reformed behind Jay, punching his neck.

Jay collapsed, unconscious.

Ash ran over to Nya-

-but she was nowhere to be found.

Ash searched, frantically, looking in the crowd of robots.
