Ninjago The Next Generation

Chapter 31

Jade

Jade looked at everyone and asked again, "where is Reese?" Still no answer. "Come on! Explain to me what happened!"

Adrain placed a hand on her shoulder, "you uh.. may wanna sit down for this." He guided her to the sofa, and she sat down, confused. "Well uh," Ray started, choking on her words, "the Overlord attacked again.. they wanted Reese."

Jade's red eyes widened. She knew now. She stood up, "where is he?" She asked. Kirby shook his head, "you shouldn't see him he is still-," Jade looked at him, dead in the eye. Her eyes were burning red. She was mad, "where is Reese?" She asked for the final time.

Kirby pointed to the hallway, "his room!" Jade then ran all the way there. She didn't stop until she made it. She broke down the door and saw Reese laying in bed, tubes and wires hooked to him, a breathing mask over his nose and mouth. She didn't notice, but Kai was there. "Jade?" He asked, "when did you get back?"

Jade shook her head, "that doesn't matter, what happened to Reese?" She questioned him. Kai glanced from his son to Jade, "the Overlord attacked. He tricked Reese and... well he.." Jade narrowed her eyes at the former red ninja then walked by Reese. He was breathing, thanks to the mask, but it was if he was in a coma, he had burn marks and bruises. "They took his power didn't they?" She asked.

Kai froze, "how did you," " it's a simple question." Jade snarled, "did they take his power?" Kai nodded, "yeah, they did."

Jade took a deep breath then left the room. She kept walking, all the way to the front door. Instead of opening it normally she slammed it open, and kept walking. Adrain noticed her, and followed her, "Jade? What are you doing?"

"I'm going to teach the Overlord a lesson about messing with my friends." She said, anger filled her voice. Adrain continued to follow her, "but this isn't the answer! I know what he did to Reese and he shouldn't have but you can't just-,"

"Shut it Adrian!" She yelled at him, "Reese was like my brother! And if he goes, the overlord goes! I don't care what side I'm on, who's in charge of me, or what I'm feeling!" She yelled some more.

Adrain bit his tongue back, her eyes are bright red. Jade glared at him and continued off. After getting far away from Adrian, Morrow appeared. "Uh Jade..?" "What?" Jade asked, mad. "You seemed stressed, I know what they did was wrong, but I'm with blabber mouth's son on this one, i'm just trying to help you." Jade shook her head at the ghost, "His name is Adrian, and I am going to make them pay for what they did to Reese. I will not stop at anything until we are even." Jade ignored the rest of Morrow's words.

Kai

Kai was at Reese's side, watching his breathing become slow and uneven. He couldn't stop but felt responsible for this. Sky ran into the room, holding onto her chest.  She noticed her son and tears started to fall from her eyes. "Reese.."she breathed out. Kai looked over and hugged her. She clinged to her husband, sobbing into his chest. I mean, what would you do if your son was dying before your eyes.

Ray followed her, along with Dianna. They were stunned in their tracks, seeing Reese scared them. Ray walked to his side and held his cold hand in hers. She used her power to warm him up a bit. The master of fire sighed, "I wish I was faster.." she whispered to herself. Dianna heard and placed a hand on her shoulder. "It's all going to be ok." she informed, trying to cheer her friend up. Kai watched to two girls, hugging each other, his daughter, and his son's girlfriend watching him.

PIXAL walked into the room, "Im sorry, I know you want to see him, but I have to help him, please wait outside for a little, I will get you when I'm done or if something happens." Skylor smiled at PIXAL, it was a sad smile but one nonetheless. The four of them left the room.

Ray

Ray and Dianna were walking back to everyone else. Ray couldn't find herself to tell everyone that Reese wasn't in a good condition. Her brother wasn't doing good, and it hurt her to see. She walked outside to go on a walk to clear her mind, once she went outside, she noticed Robin waiting for her. She seemed a bit shocked by it, "Oh, hey Robin, what's up?" she asked with a fake smile.

Robin went up and hugged her. Ray was taken aback for a moment, before melting into the hug and hugging her back. Ray started to cry some more, she felt safe in Robin's arms. "I'm so sorry Ray," she whispered, "I should have helped more, I didn't mean for him to get hurt, I didn't know what was happening I just wanted to help you get your brother back safe, but we didn't, I can't help but feel a bit responsible for it." She said. Ray pulled away and looked into her bright blue eyes, "You are not to blame for what happened to Reese, the Overlord is."she reminded, "we will defeat him, and Reese will wake up."she said. The two of them sat down on the bench nearby, and Ray started to tell the other girl what PIXAL had told her earlier. "Basically, there is no garete he will be back to his normal self. He might wake up but if he does, he won't have his power anymore. At least that's what PIXAL says, but we aren't sure. He could fake up and be fine or he could.."Ray couldn't find herself to finish the sentence

Robin nodded, "I get what you are saying, but don't worry. I know I haven't really met him but I know he is strong, he will pull through."

Ray smiled at her, "Thanks Robin," she pulled her in for a hug, "I dunno what I would do without you."

Kirby

Maya, Axel, and Kirby were waiting together for further news about their friend. Dianna came back, her face showed upset. "Uhm.. so PIXAL is checking him out, and we don't know what's going to happen.." she said. Kirby looked at his girlfriend.

Maya sighed and stood up, " excuse me," her voice cracked, and she left. Kirby looked at his friends, "imma check on her." He stood up and followed her to her room.

He opened the door and heard faint crying. Maya was sitting in her bed, her head between her knees. Kirby walked over and sat right next to her, "Hey Maya," he gave her a faint smile, "are you ok?"

Maya shook her head, "no, I might lose my cousin.." she wept. Kirby sighed and pulled her into a hug, " I know, I may lose my friend. But he is Reese, he has pulled through before and will again." He assured her.

Maya hugged him back, "Thanks Kirby." Just then Bolt jumped into the master of lighting's arms. It took her in surprise but she smiled and ruffled the dog's fur. She smiled and bopped his nose, "hey Bolt," she smiled, "thank both of you."

Jade

Jade and Morrow had made it to the overlord's base. Jade held out her arm to Morrow, showing him the cuff, "take it off," she ordered, "I have to deal with this." Morrow bit back his tongue and took the cuffs off of her wrists.

This was going to be bad.
