Nelson looked around the warehouse, nodding in approval.
But then he realized something.
Something so drastic he put his mask on, helmet on top, ran to the garage riding his bike, pushed the button, and swerved under the small opening.
" Where's he goin'?" Antonia asked.
Jay looked around. " Hold on..... where's my sister?!"
Kai's eyes widened. " Nelson went out there to find her!"
Sammy pulled a walkie talkie out of a bag and tossed it to Kai. " Use this to communicate to him."
" Nelson, can you hear us?" Kai asked.
" Loud and clear." Nelson's voice, though scratchy, came through.
Jay grabbed the walkie. " Where's my sister? Is she okay? IS she fighting? Tell her to come here and make sure she doesn'-"
" Jay, please calm down." Nya said, walking to his yang as Kai pulled the device out of his brother's hand.
" I CAN'T CALM DOWN! HOW DO I CALM DOWN?!"
Nya sighed. " Look, we all know Mia's resourceful. She'll be fine. And Nelson's out there, looking for her. He's the second person who looks out for Mia after you."
Jay sighed. " I suppose."
Then, from the walkie talkie, there was a sound of tripping, screaming, and a thud.
" That can't be good." Jay muttered.
And it was true. Because the venge stone warriors found out who he really was.
" I forgot my powers don't work with venge stone." He muttered.
But then there was a sickening bang.
" DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH MY BOY!" A loud voice shouted.
Kai winced as he threw the walkie talkie to Cole. " Yeesh, she's loud."
Jay grinned. " Yep, but that's my sister to you."
They heard wooshes, and winces and yells and groans.
" Nelson?" Jay asked. " Is that my sister?"
No reply.
" Nelson?"
" Um......"
Jay groaned. " My sister is getting hit, isn't she?"
" Not as much as she's kicking their bodies?" Nelson offered.
Jay groaned again. " That's also my sister to you."
The static on the walkie-talkie crackled before Nelson's voice came through, strained but determined. "Jay, I think you should know... Mia's handling herself pretty well, but the venge stone warriors are relentless. She's definitely giving them a hard time though."
Jay clenched his fists, pacing back and forth. "I knew it. I knew I shouldn't have let her go alone. But she's so stubborn."
Nya placed a comforting hand on Jay's shoulder. "She's tough, Jay. Just like you. And Nelson's out there with her. They'll be okay."
Cole, holding the walkie-talkie, looked at the group with a worried expression. "I can hear them fighting, but it sounds like they're really getting pushed back."
"Nelson!" Jay shouted into the device. "Is Mia still fighting? Is she hurt?"
A moment of silence stretched, filled only by the distant sounds of clashing and grunts from the battlefield. Finally, Nelson's voice returned, breathless. "She's still fighting. And she's taking down venge stone warriors left and right. But she's getting exhausted. She needs backup."
Jay's heart raced. "Okay, we need to go. Now. We can't let them handle this alone."
Kai nodded, already moving toward the exit. "Let's go. We'll get there as fast as we can. We can't let them face this alone."
As the team prepared to head out, they could still hear the sounds of the intense battle through the walkie-talkie. The occasional thud and the clamor of venge stone warriors meeting their match echoed through the device. Mia's fierce battle cries were interspersed with the grunts of her opponents and Nelson's encouragement.
"Just a little longer, Mia!" Nelson's voice rang out through the static. "Help is on the way!"
Jay took a deep breath, focusing on the urgency of the situation. "Let's move, everyone!"
The group rushed out of the warehouse, their determination palpable. Jay's heart was pounding, each step feeling heavier than the last. The road to where Mia and Nelson were fighting seemed endless, but they pushed through, driven by the thought of their friends and family in danger.
As they approached the location, the sounds of battle grew louder. They could hear the clash of weapons and the roar of venge stone warriors. Kai, leading the way, quickly assessed the situation as they arrived at the scene.
Mia was indeed in the thick of it, her movements a blur of action as she fought off multiple venge stone warriors. Nelson was by her side, his focus intense as he threw punches and kicks, creating a path through the chaos.
"Hey, we're here!" Kai shouted, his voice cutting through the din.
Mia's head snapped toward the sound, her eyes widening with relief when she saw Kai, Jay, and the rest of the team. "Finally! About time you showed up!"
Jay pushed forward, his worry for Mia outweighing his own exhaustion. "Mia! Are you okay?"
Mia's response was a fierce grin as she continued to fight. "I'm fine! Just a bit tired. But I've got this!"
The team quickly joined the fray, fighting alongside Mia and Nelson. The venge stone warriors were formidable, but with the combined strength of the group, they started to gain the upper hand.
As they fought, Jay couldn't help but watch Mia's every move. She was fighting valiantly, her skills on full display. Despite his anxiety, seeing her in action gave him a sense of pride. He knew she was strong, but seeing her hold her own in such a fierce battle was something else entirely.
Nelson, catching his breath for a moment, gave Jay a quick thumbs-up. "She's amazing, isn't she?"
Jay nodded, a fierce determination in his eyes. "Yeah, she is."
