I'm back everybody, Yanixter here! So I probably wanted to upload short chapters but I don't know if I can but we'll see.

Also thanks to KKR (Kairocksrainbow) for her review when she read the first chapter and I hope I can update more although my collage schedules may block my work but I'll try my best.

Anyway, enjoy the second chapter while I can re-edit my third one!

Prolouge Part 2: Kai's Lament

The fire ninja went to his bed with a small cabinet next to it and above there, there were only two things. A lamp and a frame which has a picture inside….of him and Skylor.

He remembered that day after the battle is over, he could be with her. Undoubtedly, it was a matter of fact that when after they got married, she was pregnant and can barely hold with any situation that they can handle.

But there was an unexpected turn of events that everything to him caused to shatter his confidence…

Flashback…

Few years earlier

That time at the hospital, where Kai waits for his child to be released out of the mother's womb but it took more time than it was although they tried so hard that they would've never given up. Everything they knew isn't not that emotional, for at least they could be felt happy.

Few minutes later, after the delivery came to an end and Kai was eager to see his child. The others are with him as well after they supported them with everything they've got. All in the matter of time and patience, the doctor came out of the patient's room and Kai and the others stood up as the doctor stood before the fire ninja himself. "You may enter the room now, Mr. Brimstone. Your child is waiting for you."

The mentioned nodded his head as he is about to see the newborn right in front of his eyes. No matter what time they have to wait, they always keep calm from what as Sensei Wu said one of the most important advices to them, "Patience is the key, ninjas. You must learn on how you will keep on waiting rather than to go hastily…"

As soon as the ninjas give their all, they entered the room where Skylor and the newborn child were inside. They entered and Kai soon saw Skylor taking a rest on the patient's bed with the newborn being carried at the mother's arms. "Skylor?"

Skylor caught her husband's voice and soon caught their attention. She smiled for at least she was being able to see him including the child at her arms. Kai came and sat next to her. He later glanced at the newborn child, wide awake. "Kai…It's a boy."

The others felt surprised with awe came to them. Even Kai felt so nervous being a father to his son that couldn't help himself but to smile. He then asked her to let the child be at his father's arms. Skylor granted with a nod and later, he gently picked his son and now he's at his father's fiery but gentle arms.

The mother felt happy that even that they look like each other, it feels like everything brought to her became into a reality. She couldn't help but smile, taking the hope for what they were ever wanted to be. Of course, it would be a memorable moment.

Not until when everything turns around as things began to fall apart…

All of the sudden while taking the rest, Skylor was having a hard time breathing. She couldn't even handle herself, unless her husband and friends came to help her. "Kai…I...I can't breathe..."

The concerned fire ninja taken noticed by her difficulty of breathing. Her heart rate begins to slow down as if Skylor was about to faint or even die any second. As soon as Kai got upset when she said her recent words, he started to support her. "Skylor, no! You can't die on me. Please, stay alive!"

The patient began to breathe very hardly, but soon as she was about to fall apart, her eyes are started to fade slowly. "Please, Kai…Help…me…"

Kai's tears begin to drop down as if he was desperate to save his dear beloved and he can do anything that could his family together, even if the child was even that young. "No! Just hang on! You'll be alright! Guys, get the doctor now!"

The others immediately nodded as they begin to move to find the doctor. They can't even know that Skylor would crumble in a destined moment like this, even after the child's delivery! As soon as the doctor got alarmed, the doctor including three nurses immediately rushed to the patient's room with time that they could spare but not any longer.

They soon arrived to Skylor's room with the nurses brought everything with them to keep her alive, no matter what any cost that could be possibly driven, Kai couldn't help himself but to wait with his son at his arms

"Everybody, stand back! We're commencing the operation," as the doctor commanded as everyone nodded, giving their all for what it takes that it all depends on the doctor's and nurses' work. "Alright, let's start before we lose our patient!"

Kai and the others hoped that Skylor will be able to survive with any chance that they could realize. In every aspect and moment they caught up, there so many reasons for them that they will always answer. Under all that pressure which the elemental ninjas never been so disgraced, all they do know is to pray and hoping for Skylor's life to be returned.

Unfortunately….Things was about to fall apart as if that there was nothing that they could do...

Few hours later…

Skylor's heartbeat begins to fade as the doctors and nurses tried to their best but they failed when the patient's eyelids droop down and the monitor in an instant. Kai could not believe it. He can't leave her alone even if she died. He couldn't himself alone with her. The doctor and the nurses had to get something. The fire ninja rushed to her side as if he wanted to wake her up. "Skylor! Please, come back to me! I can't lose you…"

His tears crying to drop down to the bottom of the sheets. Kai couldn't do anything with her, even his son as if they were desperate. The other four ninjas went to his back and there, they felt a little down.

"Kai, she's gone, and there's nothing we can do," said Lloyd while he felt a little disgraced. For some reason, he never doubted that he never been so gentle, but as if it was for him, it turned out to be a memorial gathering.

"Lloyd's right, Skylor's gone," said Zane, feeling the same thing as well, even to Cole and Jay.

Kai took a deep breath and soon his feelings felt calm. He understand his wife's sacrifice, to save their son, and for everything that they've been brought to be together. The others felt calm as well and as Kai continued to carry and glanced at his son, the ninjas felt proud. "At least I can raise my son…"

They elemental ninjas smiled to what his words felt so gentle yet surprising. They would even felt "awed" for they look the newborn child and whatsoever. Soon when they realized that Kai was now a father, they wanted to ask as Jay raised his voice. "What should you name him?"

Kai started wondering to what he could name the newborn baby boy. He soon felt his mind darted to what he is proud to say. "Kian Steel…Yeah, his full name will be Kian Steel Brimstone."

End of flashback…

After they were being together with his son. For a few years that he raised Kian all by himself, it was never been an easy task but it took quite an experience for him to handle, even the other ninjas had children now.

He couldn't on how he will remember that moment when she died. For her grave that is so pessimistic, nothing would never brought them down. Even if the slightest touch that the Skylor gave to them, they would still remember her even she is now deceased.

The fire ninja put down the picture frame and put it back to its proper place. That time when she died could never forget him, as if Skylor watch over them at the skies while they are at peace. Quite not a dissipating scenario if anything is not disturbed.

He soon heard at his back and apparently, the young boy woke up as he let himself yawn and eyelids started to rise up. The fire ninja glanced at his only son for what he had a good night sleep and a good morning to start again. "Morning, my boy."

Kai stood up while the boy rubbed his eyes to make his vision clearer. Sometimes when he woke up, Kian's vision started to be a little blur but still clear enough to make things right. "Morning, Dad."

"Come on, get up. We're getting hungry for breakfast."

And there, you know it, why Kai missed Skylor because of her death. I hope I can do more and probably long chapters. Hopefully this story bring us quite a good start.

Don't forget to review and try to advise me because I'm 17 and I've been writing for so long since High School!

See you!
