Chapter 46
Burning Emotions

.:Kai:.

Anger flashed in front of the Kai's eyes as he watched Violet being hauled up in the air. His hands were squeezing the bars so tightly he wouldn't be surprised if he accidently bent the bars. He knew the others were also on the edge thinking how Pythor could possibly be that cruel. The usually calm Zane and Sensei Wu were pacing in the cage whereas Nya sat down looking defeated and Jay was next to her. Cole was standing up next to the ninja of fire worried. Kai wouldn't blame him, Cole took his position as team leader seriously and it must also be hard for him to see Violet hung upside down.

His amber eyes looked at Violet and he frowned when blood from the cut on her neck started to drip down onto her red face. Her mask must have been taken before she was pulled up. But a static sound moved his attention away for a moment and he looked to see everyone else was standing up and looking at the Samurai suit where they could hear Lloyd's and Scarlett's voice. He looked back down to Violet who tried wiggling her body so she could see the commotion. After Nya threw a rock, they could hear Lloyd's and Scarlett's voice clearly.

"We're fine but we're a little bit held up at the moment. Our weapons have been taken, we're locked in a cage, Violet is slowly losing blood and Pythor have returned with the fourth Fang Blade."

"What?! What happened to Violet?"

"We were first captured and she tried to save us but she got caught. She's now hanging upside down away from us with an open wound on her neck." Kai muttered grumpily and he looked back down to the girl in purple. He ignored the rest of their conversation. "Violet, are you okay?"

"Oh yeah, I'm completely fine. I'm just hanging upside down with blood dripping down my face. I couldn't be any better." He heard her say in a weak voice sarcastically.

"I'll take that as a no." The ninja of fire mumbled to himself. He looked around and picked up the hand sanitiser. He quickly looked around and saw Jay's hair oil on the ground. The red ninja quickly picked it up and he squirted half of the oil and the sanitiser onto his hand and he rubbed it on his clothes.

"Kai, what are you doing?" He heard Cole's voice behind him and Kai turned around to see he have also gained the others' attention.

"Making sure Violet doesn't bleed to death." Kai replied and he threw Jay's hair oil back at him and he went to the bars. He put his head through the bars before pulling his body through too. In no time, Kai was out. Holding onto the bars with his left hand and left foot, he reached out his right hand to the nearest chain. Once he grabbed it, he looked down to see the snakes were deeply engaged in the fight below him. He climbed onto the chain and he reached for another on. Kai continued doing this and he was finally on Violet's chain. He slid down the metal chain and the red ninja's finger thumbed to undo the knot around Violet's feet.

"K-Kai?" He heard Violet muttered quietly.

"Nope, it's Santa."

"Ha ha… Very funny." He heard her say sarcastically once again.

Once the knot was undone, he slipped the rope into his pocket and he slowly lowered her legs. If he did it too quick, he knew it would just cause pain to Violet and make her extremely dizzy. Once she was up straight, her original creamy skin tone replaced the red and he heard her sigh with relief.

"How are you feeling now?"

"Better than I was when I was upside down but I still feel light-headed and weak..." He just managed to hear her murmur softly. He knew she was getting weaker from the blood loss.

Kai then looped one arm around the chain to make sure he doesn't fall down but he still used that hand to untie the rope. The other arm supported purple ninja's waist so she doesn't fall. When that came undone, he took off the rope around her arms and stomach and tied it back onto the chain. Kai ended up climbing with her in one arm. He couldn't believe how light she was in his arms and how slim she was. Her eyes were now closed and her breaths came in different breathing patterns.

"Violet?" He asked gently and softly shook her body but no response came from her lips. Kai quickly took off his mask and lightly wiped the blood from her face and around her wound. He then pressed another part that didn't have blood on her wound. "Come on Violet, hang in there."

He muttered to her and he still climbed up. It was exactly like last time when Pythor hung her up. He freed her and she falls unconscious and he ends up carrying her. It's not that he minded; Kai was deeply concerned for her well-being and he hoped she didn't lose too much blood. He climbed up little bit at a time to place the cloth back onto her wound since it kept sliding down but it was already soaked in her blood. Next, he tried to swing across the chains so he can get to the cage.

"Violet!" He heard the others hush whispers and they reached their arms out through the bars. Kai handed her to them and he was amazed how easily her body slipped through the bars. Kai tried to slide through again but his chest got stuck.

"She already has lost quite a bit of blood." He heard Zane muttered.

"Umm, can someone pass me the hair oil?" Kai asked sheepishly. Jay went to retrieve and give it to the red ninja but it wasn't long before they heard a voice yell out.

"What do you think you're doing?!"

"Why does Pythor have to ruin everything?" Kai mumbled to himself and he sighed as they lowered the cage. He quickly rubbed the hair oil on him and quickly slipped through the bars and he went to Violet's aid.

.:Scarlett:.

"Come on Lloyd." She called out from the top of the mountain as she waited for Lloyd's little strides to catch up. Once she saw him fall down, she sighed. The Green Ninja gi was far too big for him. She had to pin up his sleeves but it seemed the one on his leg have fallen down. "Do you want me to fix it up quickly?"

"Nah, I'm fine…" Lloyd panted and he quickly stood up.

When Kai told her her sister was hanging upside down with a wound on her neck, Scarlett couldn't help but feel so worried about Violet. it wouldn't be too long before she lose too much blood. After Lloyd caught up, Scarlett ran to the opening where she saw a rope attached to the rock. It was no doubt that it was the ninja's rope. She clasped her hands around the rope and she slid down. Once she got to the bottom Lloyd slid down but only to fall on his butt at the bottom.

"Do you remember the plan?" She asked the youngster and the boy nodded his head eagerly but then he stopped.

"Actually can you repeat it just in case?"

"I'll go and distract the snakes while you go and try to free the ninja alright?"

"Ok, I got it now."

"Good." Scarlett smiled and patted Lloyd on the head. They both ran down the tunnel and in no time, they were in the snake's territory. Instantly, the older sister looked for her younger sister and found her sitting in the cage with the ninja with Kai holding a red cloth to her neck. To be honest, Scarlett was surprised that Kai cared this much for Violet. Even when she was in Violet's head, she could see Kai staring at her and when Kai comfort Violet just before she unlocked her true potential, Scarlett wanted them to be together and now that they are, she felt proud for a strange reason. "Wait up here. Only come down when I got the snakes' full attention."

"Okay."

Scarlett ran down the path and she was still deciding which would be the best distraction that doesn't involve her getting capture and killed but to stall time. Once she got a plan, a smirk entered her lips. Instantly, she went to Pythor. "Pythor! It's so great to see you!" She exclaimed loudly that she could feel the snakes' eyes on her.

"Excuse, do we know each other?" She heard Pythor asked confusingly and she laughed.

"Come on, stop playing jokes, of course you know me! I would be rather pissed if you forgot about me."

"This must be a mistake. How did you find this place? Who are you?!" Pythor roared and Scarlett tried not to flinch but his long and scaly neck towered over her.

"Awww, come on. You can recognise me can't you?" She asked and blinked her eyes at him and she mentally smirked when she heard the snakes surrounding them whispering.

"Who do you think she is?"

"Pythor's lover?"

"Can't be, Pythor hate humans but how does she know him?"

"Unless Pythor is betraying us."

"You do look oddly familiar but this must be a big understanding. I know nothing about you and you know nothing about me." She heard Pythor snapped and Scarlett placed her hands on her hips and stared hard at him.

"Excuse me, how can you forget about me?! I was there in case if you forgot. I know almost everything about you. You ate your own tribe since there wasn't enough food and you were starving to death but you didn't eat me since you loved me! And your full name is Pythor P. Chumsworth!" She shouted with a frown on her lips. "Don't you remember the cold and dark nights were spent together in that tomb?"

"This is outrageous you little lying bi-!"

"Don't you ever dare call me that! You must have got a rock hit your head to forget about me and now you want to release the Great Devourer? Have you forgotten that the Great Devourer consumes everything including the Serpentine?" With this exiting her lips, she heard murmurs going through the Serpentine.

"She's Pythor lover? Is Pythor really siding with the humans?"

"Pythor P Chumsworth? That's the most stupid name I've ever heard!"

"Pythor ate his own tribe? How sick is that snake?"

"What if this is an imposter? We have seen Pythor hating the humans otherwise he wouldn't torture that purple ninja."

"You're a liar! You're friends with the ninja aren't you?" Pythor voice boomed out and suddenly, something hit her hard in the chest and she felt the ground beneath her feet disappeared but she found it again with her back. A brutal groan escaped her lips and Scarlett slowly sat up. "I see your plan now; you want to turn the Serpentine against me."

"But the stuff I said is true! Why would you hurt me?" She asked in an innocent voice and she looked behind to see she have landed on the weapon rack. She saw was about to hit her and the ex-wind ninja grabbed a spear off the rack and she pointed it at Pythor. "Okay then, fine. Listen up everyone. Yes I'm friends with the ninja and I've never met Pythor but what I said is true! The Great Devourer would eat everything in its way including you! The reason Pythor P. Chumsworth is the only Anacondrai snake from his tribe is because they were starving and he ate some! I believe he also did this just to become a leader."

"What nonsense. Why would they believe a word that would come from a friend of the ninja?" He snapped.

"I'm not forcing them to believe. I'm only just revealing the truth about you," she snapped, "now release the ninja otherwise I'll reveal more about you! And I know how to fight so if you try to kill me, I'll make sure I'll kill you." She hissed and this earned a laugh from Pythor.

"Oh really? And who did you bring as back up?"

"Me!" And at this voice, she mentally face palm. "If we don't meet again Pythor. Now leave her alone and release the ninja otherwise suffer from humiliation and pain from me, the great Green Ninja!"

"Lloyd, what are you doing?" She couldn't help but hiss.

"Oh really, you and what army?" Pythor asked.

I thought I should change it a bit and do something in Scarlett's POV for once. But I'm also sorry about the short chapter but thank you to everyone who left a comment for the chapters, it really helps me to decide on what to do. I think I'll split the story in two so the second book is about Rebooted and Tournament of Elements. Because really, this story is called Undercover and I called it that since Violet's an undercover ninja but now she isn't and I don't really change the summary half-way through the story.

But anyway, big big big big thanks to: LightningDanino23, Jayfan24, Mimmy14, Guest of Honor, ElementzGirl7, BrightnessAndDarknessStories, Meh, ShadowNinja27, ShadowNinja27, CarlyShi208, legolover101 and KaiRulesSuckers.

KaiRulesSuckers: I already have a plan formed in my head and I really would like to tell you since you asked but I don't want everyone to know. I was going to PM you when I remembered you were a guest. But I guess everything will come in time. Unless I change my mind along the way but I have a simple plan set out.
