Why You ?

Chapter 10

When they arrived, there was only fire and ashes.

Nya collapsed to the ground, tears in her eyes at the sight before her. His house had just been burned down in a split second. Jay crouched down next to her, comforting her before Zane entered the building, putting out a few small flames in the process. When he came out, the robot nodded his head, a sign that no trace of life was inside. The girl continued to cry before a figure came out of the forest. Cole sat up, squinting to try to see who it could be, then he let out an exclamation. It was Kai. The brunette raised her head, drying her tears a little then ran towards her brother, hugging him. After a few minutes, the two separated and everyone wanted explanations.

"I managed to hide in the forest right after leaving the forge," Kai began.

"Where are father and mother?" said his sister.

"They were kidnapped, there were too many of them, I didn't dare go help them."

"They were Garmadon's disciples I presume? "

"I think so, in any case, I was lucky to have heard a noise in this direction", he said, pointing to the forest," otherwise who knows where I would be right now."

"I suggest first", added Zane, "that we all go back to develop a plan, presenting ourselves to the enemy would be much easier and riskier."

"I agree", said Cole followed by everyone else.

Everyone got back into their vehicles, the brunette getting in with his sister as they now headed towards the monastery. Sensei Wu, who was happy to see that Kai was whole, apart from the bandage on his hand, brought them all together in the library around a big plan. Everyone discussed it based on the weaknesses of the place and the advantages for them, ninjas. A few minutes later, everything was done, all that was needed was to form the teams as Zane had imagined, who found it more advantageous.

"Well", the Sensei began", as planned Zane will be with Jay to manage the electrical installations, Cole will be with Nya to show us all the locations of the warehouse, and finally, Kai with Lloyd", he paused seeing the two s exchanging not very happy looks", although you don't like it, let's leave the bickering aside, you will be responsible for retrieving Kai's parents."

Everyone nodded without flinching, apart from the two before they all set off again, not wasting any of their precious time. Master Wu had managed to contact the Ninjago police, telling them to evacuate civilians in the requested area, which was done immediately. The ninjas finally arrived, hiding their vehicle among the few small alleys and then all took different paths.The ice ninja and the lightning ninja had taken the direction of the Borg factory, to be able to more easily infiltrate Garmadon's servers and cameras. The young girl and the earth ninja headed to the other end of the city to reach the heart of the organization more quickly and intelligently. Finally, the fire ninja and the green ninja entered directly through a manhole cover. This led to more pipes between the ceiling and the floor, forcing them to crawl all the way. Pixal, who had remained in the Borg tower, had noticed the presence of the ninjas and she did not ask any questions to help them by contacting them from their headset.

When the two finally arrived at a small ventilation hatch, the oldest pushed it open, giving way to a corridor. He went down, waiting for the blond to come out before closing their only access route. They wanted to move forward but footsteps sounded which pushed them to stand face to face against a wall, wanting to avoid being spotted. The smallest's heart accelerated following the very short distance that separated him from Kai but he preferred to opt to calm down so as not to be noticed.

Finally, the footsteps disappeared, leaving the two to run again. It was all just a mind-numbingly long corridor. Almost no benchmarks so each path had to be the right one to avoid failure. They ran, reaching a new door afraid that this one would hide a corridor like all the others but instead there was a room. A large room still containing countless computers, long pipes littering the floor and finally, a glass box. Kai immediately ran towards this object seeing that his parents were stuck inside. Lloyd, who had noticed a small, very dark corridor, decided to go there, not wanting to believe that there was only darkness.
