Fire's Infection

Realization

AUTHORS NOTE: Before this chapter begins I want to apologize for the long wait on this book and all my other ones, I have a hard time with procrastinating;However, with school starting up again I'm going to do my best to work on more chapters for you all. I hope you enjoy!

Morrow's POV:

I fly on my dragon with Kai tied up behind me, Pythor and Harumi behind Kai. I can't believe I had to pair up with these too. Harumi is still obsessed with Garmadon and Pythor is just Pythor. All talk no bite so far. 

"How much longer mussst we wait, Morrow?" Pythor asks from behind me. I keep my gaze forwards. 

"Now much longer Pythor."

"Hate to be a thorn, but where are we even going?" Harumi then asks. 

I grunt. "Somewhere the ninja would never expect us. I've worked on a basement like structure underneath the old place Kai's parents used to run. It's old and run-down." I say. 

"Makesss senssse"

"Agreed"

The two kept talking as Kai was still knocked out. A while later we eventually got to our destination, the two idiots finally stopped running their mouths. It's nothing compared to that lightning ninja though. 

"Can't wait to ssstretch my ssscalesss" Pythor yawns as he unhinges his mouth in a yawn, stretching his tail and arms. 

"Same. Flame boy over here is still out like a light though." Harumi adds.

"No duh. Pythor since you want to stretch carry him downstairs for me. Toss him in the only cell there, shouldn't be hard. Should it?" I ask, turning over my shoulder with a glare. 

"Of courssse not...Morrow." He says.

"What about me?" Harumi asks. Jeez can she ever not do anything?

"You could help scare the ninja a bit. Follow them and throw them off." I say, I honestly just wanted her gone. 

I walk inside as Pythor throws Kai into the cell. There wasn't anything in there, just chains to a wall which I instructed Pythor to go back and do. I guess he needs to be told literally everything.

"Sssooo, what'sss the fancy cell for?" Pythor asks as he slithers back into a control room I build. There were plenty of stolen camera's from Nya's bunker, and some cool gadgets I made thanks to watching her, Jay, Zane, and that girl robot build. 

"It's for him obviously. Specially made with his weaknesses." I say, I assumed it was quite obvious. 

"Like what...?" Pythor slithers over to my shoulder, watching the screen of the fire ninja in front of us. 

"Just some rising water which can drain...some freezing air for that hot head...and some not-so pleasant sounds."

"Sssoundsss good, but why do we even need him?"

"He's not so healthy right now as we can all clearly see, and these few things should be enough to crack him. If we can manipulate him onto our side we would have a bigger chance to defeat the ninja."

Kai's POV:

I woke up, feeling a rough soreness on my throbbing head. As I rubbed it I tried my best to remember what had happened, yet I couldn't quite feel my hand. I guess it must be since I'm tired? I remember freaking out about something and the team helping...but wha...

My mind instantly knew what happened. Morrow, Harumi, and Pythor were back. 

I looked around, noticing the reason why I couldn't feel my hand. I was chained from chains connected to the wall, my feet dangling. I was a good foot off the ground, not too high. 

As my eyes adjusted to the darkness of the room, with just some light coming in from the bars on the cell door, I noticed something which made my heart race more. 

There were water pumps, at least 5 on the two walls parallel from each other in the room, adjacent to me.  I then noticed a large drain with a controlled cover, the cover being off at the moment. 

On top of that there was a giant AC on the roof, with covers as well to keep water out of I'm guessing. If they think some water and cold can crack me It's not going to happen. I can't let it. 

For crying out loud I'm sane at the moment, but who knows if that syringe stuff is still in my system. 

Come to think of it...could they have been working for Morrow and them?

As if on cue Morrow phased through the cell door without any difficulty. 

"Morrow." I said with a hatred. 

"Tch, tch, tch, how sad it is that the fire ninja was captured by a group of defeated enemies... tch tch tch.." Morrow said, in a taunting voice. 

"When the team finds you your ass is going to be kicked!" I almost yelled.

"If."

"What.?" I ask, my breath being caught in my throat.

"I said if."

Sorry for the shorter chapter! I'm hopefully planning on doing more soon!
