Ninjas and Demons

Chapter 2: Away

Jay and Zane attempted to get their ship to listen to them and turn back around towards their master, only to be met with error messages covering the screen. Cole suggested that they break a window and make a jump for it, but they were already too high up and too far from their master. Kai yelled in frustration as he hit the door again, attempting to summon his power to try and burn the door into ash.

What was their teacher doing going to fight that...thing alone?!

They were ninjas, and ninjas never quit! Ninja never backs down from a fight. Why was he making them retreat?

They were given no warning when the sky turned dark and a white-haired woman appeared in the sky and started to cause havoc on the streets, covering everything in a rocky thick ice. They were about to head out and face her when Wu locked them in the bridge, apologizing to them before running off. The ship rocketed forward away from the city without any of them touching the control panel.

Lloyd held onto Nya, trying to keep balance, as the ship shook with the shaking speed, going faster than the engines and thrusters often allowed. The team was barely able to keep their footing as the shaking continued, Jay and Zane still trying to get the ship to stop, only for one of the screens to show an outside view in front of them. "What the heck is that?!"

They all turned to the screen and on it was a swirling vortex, and they were sailing right for it!

Before anyone could do anything, although it wasn't like they could, they flew in, only to be faced with a bright blue sky and a large open desert. However, before anyone could respond more error messages appeared and the sound of sputtering thrusters could be heard. Gravity no longer seemed to exist for a moment, Zane held onto the panel and shouted, "Brace yourselves!"

Kai turned and saw his sister and little brother and shot over to them, covering them with his body in a protective hold as there was a loud crash and everyone was given a harsh jerk from the impact. Knocking them all out in the process.

"Uncle, what is going on?"

Wu looked at his nephew and students as they all stood in the shared sleeping quarters for when they had overnight training sessions. They had all arrived for one of these training sessions but when they arrived at the docks, they saw white smoke in the distance, slowly getting closer and a hauntingly cold air blowing at them. Jay was nervously picking at his scarf as he and the others looked to their teacher for answers. The old man took a step back and out of the door, "I am sorry my students, but this is a battle that you cannot win."

And proceeded to slam the door shut with the sounds of locks clicking into place. Lloyd and the others rushed forward and looked out of the small window that the door provided, "Uncle!"

He gave them one more look before running off. "Cole!"

"On it!" The raven reared his fist back and slammed it into the door, making it crack but not making an opening for them to get through. He was about to try again when the room shook violently around them. The ship was taking off.

None of the teens could find their footing as the ship sped away, Kai grabbed the ledge of the window and looked out of it, "Guys we're headed for something!"

The group stumbled towards the glass, crowding around each other to look, and there, right in front of them was a swirling portal. Before anyone could react they were sent through, the shaking of the Bounty worsened as the teens stumbled and fell to the floor, landing on top of one another. The swirling blue of the portal vanished and revealed bright blue skies and an endless sandy brown desert.

Before anyone could make a comment at the sudden change of scenery, the ship started to go down, "Brace for impact!"

There was a crash and all of the teens' bodies jerked in some way, knocking them all out on the bedroom floor.
