Overload

Overload Pt 1

The intensity was dropped almost immediately after they left the building.

Kai buckled over slinging an arm around Nya. He was practically crying laughing trying desperately to get air in his lungs before it could be forced out by more laughter. "Did haha did you see his face! Ah I don't think I've ever been more proud of you in my life sis"

Nya just smirked at her brother and Lloyd smiled right along with him. Even Cole couldn't help but let a soft expression flicker across his face.

"Ah ah ah I SAW THAT COLE!" Kai smiled out dragging Nya and Lloyd over to Cole and grabbing Zane pulling them all into a group hug.

Cole sighed, Jay wasn't here but they were a step closer and that was enough to make him content for now.

They talked excitedly all the way to the monastery but as soon as they reached the living room the atmosphere that was full of humor dropped on a dime.

Lloyd stepped to the middle of the room and they all fell into line taking their seats on the couch from there.

"Alright. I think this is gonna be a full team mission if this "Ahr" person really is the one who did something to Jay we need to be ready for anything he could be dangerous. However that being said I don't think we'll actually have to break in to the weather station." Lloyd said pacing across the floor.

"Well what should we do instead? Just walk up and say hello?" Kai asked sarcastically caught off guard when Lloyd excitedly jumped and said "EXACTLY!"

"Wait wait wait what? Our plan is to just walk up and ask Ahr really nicely if he's been using our friend as some part of his science experiment?" Nya asked confused.

"Lloyd may actually have a point Nya," Zane spoke up "whoever Ahr is, left Jay's body unmonitored meaning they most likely don't know that we're there about what happened to him."

Now Cole was starting to catch on. "And it would make sense that the City's very own ninja would want to make sure everything was alright y'know after that horrible power surge, why heavens somebody at the power plant could be hurt for all we know!"

A manic grin split across Lloyd's face. "Now you're getting it! We go and tell Ahr that we're there to make sure everything is alright with the power plant after the blackout. He won't suspect that we're actually there about Jay! But if it does look like he is catching on we can always go to plan b."

"Hitting people really hard!" Kai smiled lighting his hand on fire "now we're speaking my language!"

"Wait what about weapons? Logically if Ahr thinks we're there to check in he'll allow us to have weapons but what I'm more worried about is the lightning. The air alone around the power plant is filled with electricity It'll be like strapping lightning rods to our backs."

"Hm true but we have Cole for that" Zane pointed out.

"That's true if you all stay near me while we're outside I'll just act as a conductor."

"So it's settled then. We go to the power plant tomorrow and say we're checking in about the outage but instead look for any tip offs about Jay." Lloyd stated. There was a lot of nodding in agreement before everyone got up and headed toward their rooms.

Cole thought about checking in on Jay but on his way Zane stopped him. Apparently Pixal was still worried about possible conditions and complications and moved Jay while they were all out on the mission and now he was resting at the Ninjago City hospital. As soon as Cole protested Zane had pointed out that this was the exact reason Pixal hadn't told anyone first.

A small knock on his door is what woke him up. Cole would've been mad but he recognized that small quiet little knock and the light shuffling footsteps. He got up and opened the door. Just outside it standing there was a little boy with glowing multi-color eyes and bioluminescent glittery green hair wrapped up in a blanket that dragged across the floor.
