Ninjago Next Generation: Missing

Rescue Attempt

Disclaimer: I don't own Ninjago, just the story and my OC's.

It was about ten minutes after they dragged Justin out and the bad guys looked like they were packing everything up.  Rosie watched curiously.  They were definitely in a hurry.  The boss came back in and walked over to Rosie.  "It looks like your friends have been spotted in the area," he said.

"Then, I guess you are about to be caught," Rosie said.

The boss smirked.  "I don't think they will.  We should hopefully be out of here before any of them find this place.  Hopefully, my distraction will work."

"What is this distraction?"

"Well, don't you think your team will be both relieved and worried when they find your unconscious boyfriend just laying on a roof."

Rosie couldn't find it in herself at that moment to be worried for herself, she was just relieved that the others would find Justin.  She could handle being a prisoner longer if it meant that Justin would be alright.  She could handle this.  There's a reason she is part of the team and now she needs to prove that she deserves it.

Ninjago Rooftops

Alex and Max were running across the rooftops trying to see if there was any sign of where Justin and Rosie were.  There were all split up right now into teams of two.  Alex and Max.  Juliet and Mason.  Zeke and Harper.  They had looked just about everywhere in their assigned area with no sign of their two missing teammates nor any shady business.  "Maybe we should go meet back up with the others," Max suggested.  "We're not getting anywhere over here."

Alex considered heading over to the others until she saw a limp body a couple rooftops over from where they were.  Her eyes widened and she started running towards it.  Max watched Alex run for a moment confused as to what she was doing.  His eyes wandered to what Alex was running to and immediately understood and started running after her.  "Justin!" Alex yelled as she approached the person.  She knelt down beside her brother and started shaking him gently. She became worried when he wasn't waking up.  She checked his pulse and was relieved when she felt that it was strong and steady.

"We found Justin," Max said into his communicator.  "He's alive, but there's no sign of Rosie."

"We'll head over to your location," Zeke replied referring to himself and Harper.

In a different area of Ninjago on the rooftops, Juliet and Mason had noticed some suspicious people loading something into a van.  They were watching to figure out what those guys were up to when they heard Max over the radio followed by Zeke's reply.  "We'll be over soon," Mason said.  "Try to take a look around your location for anything else that looks suspicious.  Juliet and I might possibly have our own lead."

They continued watching until they heard a familiar voice with a man they didn't recognize.  "Get into the van, robot!  You don't want us tracking down your 'boyfriend' again because I guarantee we won't be so nice next time," the man they didn't recognize said.

Juliet and Mason's eyes widened as they saw Rosie with her hands tied behind her back being ushered into the van.  Mason looked over at his girlfriend and knew what she was thinking.  He grabbed her arm to stop her from going after her best friend.  "I know you want to go after her, but we can't just rush in there with no plan," Mason whispered.

Juliet seemed to contemplate her boyfriend's words for a second.  "I can't just sit here and let them take her," Juliet responded.

"I'm not saying that.  I'm saying we need to have some sort of a plan.  These guys took down Justin and Rosie."

They looked back over to the van when they heard the engine start.  "We don't have time."  Since Mason was touching her, she knew she could use his powers right now and used super strength to get Mason to let go before chasing the van that had already started moving.

"Juliet!" Mason yelled and started chasing after his girlfriend who was running as fast as she could after that van.

As Juliet was running, she jumped up and punched the ground to create an earthquake that cracked the ground going towards the van.  It caused the van to swerve until it came to a stop which allowed Juliet to catch up.  Unfortunately, the bad guys got the van going again right after she grabbed the doors on the back of the van.  Juliet held on tight and got her feet on the ledge on the back before ripping one of the doors off.  Unfortunately, one of the guys that has Rosie was ready for that and took a swing to try to knock her off the van.  It didn't work, but the way the guy was standing made it difficult for her to get inside.  She tried to step into the van again, but the guy took another swing towards her hand to try to get her to release.  That time, she almost did fall off, but she managed to continue to hang on.  Eventually she managed to grab the arm of one of the guys and throw him out of the van to allow her to get in, but as soon as she did, another guy kicked her in the stomach.  She stumbled back, but she managed to catch herself before falling out of the van.  She looked at the person that kicked her and saw Rosie restrained behind him.  She was about to charge at the man when the van made a hard turn and she was flung out of it.  She was lucky that Mason was there to catch her, but they both ended up falling back.

Juliet looked back up at the van driving away.  "ROSIE!!!  NO!!!"  Mason helped her up and she looked at her boyfriend.  "How did you get here so fast?"

"It didn't have to run far," Mason responded.  "The van went in a circle."

"Oh."  Juliet walked a few feet and kicked a trashcan.  "I almost had her!" she yelled in frustration.  "She was right there!"

"I know," Mason said trying to calm her.  "We'll get her back because ninja never quit."

Juliet just nodded.

"Let's head back, ok?  Justin can fill us in when he wakes up."
