-----------------------

The monastery was on fire, lightning had struck one of the wooden beams and set it alight, no one was to blame. Everyone had gotten out safe, or at least they assumed everyone had gotten out safe, they had their most important possessions but Morro wouldn't stop searching for something among the somewhat crowded stairs that lead to the currently burning building.

He couldn't put their finger on what was missing, but something was. Morro looked through his stuff one last time, everything was there, his music box, diary and a picture frame. That's when it struck them, he scanned the crowd of startled, half-asleep ninja. Nya and Zane were trying to put the fire out as best they could but it wasn't working. They threw their stuff down and ran through the half burnt gate, the others were screaming, yelling at him to come back and that whatever he was going for wasn't important.

Obviously, they hadn't realized a teammate was missing.

Morro ran through the burning hallways, dodging burning pieces of wreckage that was falling from above. Finally turning down the hall that lead to the bedrooms, Morro stopped for a split second to catch their breath before racing to a specific door, most of the ninja decorated their doors so they knew who's was who's, this door in particular had a blue and white samurai x symbol on it and a few purple butterflies painted around the symbol.

He braced himself for what he could see, at least this part of the monastery wasn't as engulfed in flame as the rest of it. Morro slid the door open to see an empty bed, the covers dropping off the side they couldn't see from the door.

"Butterfly?" Morro breathed, stepping into the room. A loud snap was heard, They turned around to see a mass of burning wood and whatever else the monastery was built out of blocking the way out.

"Shit."

Morro hadn't even thought about the possibility that the one he was looking for could've just been in the vehicle bay, totally unharmed, they looked around the room, nothing had been moved other than the bedsheets, everything was still exactly where it would be, if it wasn't burning that is.

They walked over to the other side of the room, the window was open, curtains yet to be set on fire were flailing in the strong winds of the storm. Turning to look at the bed, Morro took a half-step back, before throwing themself forward sliding onto the ground next to where an overheating, silver haired nindroid lay, half wrapped in the duvet. He could hear her breathing, which normally you wouldn't be able to but the fans that used to keep her system cool were overworking due to the flames. Morro tried to wake the nindroid, but they were completely shut down, despite still hearing her gears whir, there was no way she was waking up in this heat.

Morro lifted the small nindroid into their arms before realizing they wouldn't be able to get out, the fire had spread fully into Pixal's room, the bed was still untouched but wouldn't be for long. Morro sat where Pixal once lay, pulling her close to their chest. Thunder rumbled as Morro whispered what could be his last words.

"It's going to be fine, we're going to get out of this.. Butterfly.."
