Hello, Brother. (A Ninjago Fanfic)

Echoes in the Dark: Part 3

Cole's P.O.V.:

We were stuck in that subway car and things were getting worse. Zane managed to get Kai's communicator working again to send out a message to Kira, but we had no idea if anyone actually heard it. The rocks that were falling on top of the car were starting to crush it. I tried to move the rocks with my powers, but it was too unstable.

"Have you gotten a hold of anyone yet?" I asked Kai.

"I sent a message, but I haven't heard anything." Kai answered. "I don't know if anyone heard it."

"Even if they do, what the chances they'll find us?" Jay frowned.

"I also managed to fix my gps beacon, but I'm not sure Pixal will be able to see it." Zane said.

"Pixal always finds a way." Kai said.

"At least this car is staying intact." Jay said as he tapped the side.

The whole car began to shake again and the roof started to cave in.

"Get down!" I shouted.

"What do we do?" Jay screamed.

"We gotta get out of here now!" Kai shouted.

"Look! There's a hatch." Zane said.

Zane ran over to the hatch and we followed him. I used my strength to move it and we all took shelter in a tiny pocket underneath the car.

"Zane please tell me they tracked your signal?" Jay asked.

"There is no way to tell. Communications are still offline." He said.

"Can this get any worse?" I said.

"Don't ask that question." Kai frowned. "Every time someone asks, "Can this get worse?" It always gets worse!"

The whole ground started to rattle again.

"And it just got worse..." Kai sighed.

"That's it. We're done. This is the end of us." Jay sobbed. "We're just going to be crushed down here and no one is ever going to find our bodies, and..."

While Jay kept going on and on about how we were going to die down here, I kept looking at the rocks. I was surrounded by the earth, in my own element. If I could use the spinjistu burst I learned from our adventure to Shintaro, maybe it would give my friends enough space for them to get out?

"...and I never got to tell Nya that I..."

"Guys, I know how to get us out of here." I said. "When I count to three, I'm going to do the spinjitsu burst. That will create a tunnel so you guys can climb out."

"The burst?" Jay frowned. "Last time it wiped you out!"

"I know, but it'll be big enough for you guys."

"Cole, there is no way you'd survive that under all this rubble." Kai said.

"Kai is correct. With your current plan there is only a 12 percent survival rate." Zane said.
