Not Average

Separate Sides of Water

Chapter 12

No One's

Nya brought the Bounty to a stop above the shores of the dark islands. Cole and Zane were both on opposite sides of the deck looking around. Cole felt like he was losing part of his heart just being able to find his friends, not be able to see them make him worry for their safety.

"I am lowering the anchor, look for Lloyd and Jay down by the water and be careful of the storm that is around island. The dark islands and surrounding waters is filled with the storm. *sigh* Hopefully Jay and Lloyd made it through the rough stormy waters. Whoops you weren't supposed to here that. Over and out." Nya said through the speakers. Cole and Zane looked at each other and seconds later the anchor jerked and the speakers turned on again, "Jump on the anchor, you're taking the easy way down."

Cole drew his eyebrows up, "Not again.." Cole walked to the anchor and grabbed tight. Zane followed suit and they looked up.

"When do you suppose she will-" Zane was cut off when the anchor fell straight down with gravity pulled the heavy weight. The two screamed in surprise and fright but when the anchor roughly hit the ground the Ice and Earth ninja fell off and breathed heavily. Zane easily steadied his breathing while Cole sat on the sand panting. Soon enough Cole stood and they nodded. Without any words they searched the shores and a little inward of the island.

Hours and hours of the same swimming routine was Lloyd and Jay's day. It has been about a day of swimming and land wasn't in sight. There was no talking but a break of floating like star fish and staring up at the stars and the little conversation they had was Lloyd asking,

"What would we do when we get to Ninjago?"

Jay only said, "I will keep you from Kai. Things around us are changing." Lloyd was going to ask what that meant but Jay started to swim again.

Both experienced sore and aching limbs. So many times Lloyd told himself to stop but then again he couldn't have Jay especially injured by himself. Lloyd swim close behind Jay and Lloyd's eyes spotted the sandy shores.

"Jay land!" Lloyd said excited and almost got a mouthful of water. Jay stopped swimming and turned his head to Lloyd annoyed.

"I know Sherlock Homes." Jay snapped and continued to swim. Lloyd was taken back at the tone Jay used and swimming after. Jay and Lloyd crawled up on the sand and flopped down exhausted.

"What is... with you?" Lloyd said to Jay and turned his head slowly. Jay caught Lloyd's eyes and Lloyd saw a sparkle flicker in Jay's eyes. Jay blinked a few times and sat up.

"What the..." Jay said absolutely confused. The sand stuck to Jay's wet face when he lied down. The lightning ninja looked to Lloyd. "What happened?"

Lloyd noticed the emotions into Jay's voice was back and Jay hand a hand over his bandages on his head.

"Y-you don't remember?" Lloyd asked and sat up. Jay held his head with both hands now and hissed in pain. "Oh gosh, Jay are you alright?" Lloyd said and crawled next to his side.

"Feels like someone is using my head as a drum and it is not a good beat!" Jay complained and Lloyd stood up. Lloyd dragged Jay to his feet, Jay stumbled at first then wrapped his arm around Lloyd's shoulders.

"We need to find you some help. While we are looking I want to know the last thing you remember." Lloyd said and began to walk Jay deeper into the island.

"Last thing I remember... hmmmm... I remember my awesome jokes on how Kai was tied to that pole. Oh oh! I remember that Charlie guy attacked us using Kai's body. What happened anyway?" Jay questioned the green ninja.

"That mirror Kai was going crazy about had this thing if you smash it Kai and Charlie would die but if Charlie in Kai's body touched the mirror Kai lived and Charlie got his own body back. Kai broke the mirror with his hand so both of those happened. Kai is alive and Charlie has a body but we don't know where he is." Lloyd explained and Jay made a face of surprise.

"So Kai is good again?" Jay asked.

"Mhmm." Lloyd nodded and Jay sighed.

"So what happened with my head?" Jay asked and turned to look at his forehead without moving his head but just his eyes.

"Charlie slammed your head into the bathroom sink like how Kai was. But what we don't get is you got your head hit worse that Kai and you woke up before Kai." Lloyd replied.

Jay was silent for a bit but asked, "..When did I wake up?"

Lloyd looked to Jay and continued to walk. "You woke up about a day ago. You jumped off the bounty and dragged me with and we swim here apparently getting away from Kai."

"Yeah I can understand why." Jay said and Lloyd stopped walking making Jay stop as well.

"What do you mean by that?" Lloyd asked and Jay looked to the ground.

"Well I had a vision that Kai hurts you, really bad to the point of death..." Jay said and bit his lower lip. Lloyd dropped his jaw.

"Wait when did you have the vision?" Lloyd asked and stared into Jay's crystal blue eyes.

"After what I remember from the battle with Charlie." Jay answered and kicked his foot in the dirt.

Lloyd sighed, "Lets just get you somewhere to be fixed up." Lloyd may have sounded calm and collected but on the inside he was in panic. He just heard he might die from his friend. Not easy information to take in. The two continued to walk and a set of eyes watched everything movement and disappeared to pay a visit to a certain fire ninja in his sleep.
