Silver (A Ninjago Maximum Ride Crossover)

Chapter 41: All My Fault

'Silver's POV'

"Let me save them!" I demand, now strapped down to my medical bed

"Silver, there is a 0.001% chance that you would come back alive." Zane states calmly

"I don't care! I need to get them back!" I struggle against my restraints, trying to get out of the bed. Being strapped down like this reminds me too much of being back at the institutes

"Silver, we're going to contact Mr. Borg to see what we can do, but you need to calm down." Seeing my father look at me with such worry and pain calms me little by little. But, after the anger is gone, it's immediately replaced by an incredibly terrible sadness

"Dad?" I look up at him, tears stinging at my eyes

"Yes, Silver?" He prompts

"Do you think we can get them back?" I ask, desperation clear in my voice

"I... I don't know, Silver..." His words make the tears that were in my eyes spill out of them. Without a word, the doctors unstrap me and I wrap my arms around my father

"Dad, I have to get them back... They can't die..." He wraps his arms around my back

"We're going to talk to Mr. Borg as soon as we can..." I nod, hoping that we can save them...

I sit on the floor in my room in the hospital. I've been in here for two days. They haven't let me leave because I have a concussion from whatever the white coat hit me over the head with, and because I'm "emotionally unstable".

This is all my fault... I couldn't save them...

I've thrown up so many times in the past few days. I can't keep food down. The doctors say that it's a result of my concussion, but my emotions are also contributing to it.

All I can seem to do is cry... I can't stop myself long enough to to do anything other than vomit.

Why didn't they take me? She only ordered them to take Lilian and Kadence... So why- my eyes widen with realization. She knows they can't control me, but she's never tried to control Kadence or Lilian.

She's going to try to use them against me!

I stand up, causing my nurse to look panicked

"Miss. Silver, if you stand up so quickly, you're going to-" I cut her off

"Will you please contact my father and tell him I need to see him." I know that they would never let an 'emotionally unstable' person make direct contact with the outside world.

"Of course," she hurries out of the room.

I watch the minutes tick by on the clock that hangs on the clean, white wall. At almost forty minutes, and after I've almost chewed a hole through my lip, the nurse walks back in with my father.

"Silver, what's wrong?" He asks, walking to stand in front of me

"They're going to try and take control of Kadence and Lilian's brains. That's why they didn't take me! They're going to use them against me!" By the end of my statement I'm in tears

"Silver, I've already told you, as soon as they let you out-" I cut him off

"We need to go see Mr. Borg now! They can't take control of their brains! They can't!" My father's eyes hold so much pain and sadness. He's gone through this, he's had his child taken away. He knows what it feels like to think that you might never see your child again. But he doesn't know what it feels like to think that your child is going to be used against you...

"Silver-"

"Dad, please..." I'm begging now. "I have to get them back... Please..." He sighs, and a tear falls down his cheek

"Alright, but you're still supposed to stay in the hospital, so Mr. Borg will have to come see you here." More tears fall down my cheeks as I wrap my arms around my father

"Thank you, dad..." I rest my head on his shoulder and continue to cry.

Mr. Borg is standing in my hospital room, arguing with me. The guys have also come, but they haven't talked much

"Silver, we cannot just throw our soldiers into battle, we need to plan." He states

"I understand that, but they have my son and my best friend. At least try to save them, please!" I haven't been able to keep myself calm and I've ended up yelling at him multiple times

"That is not something we can do, Silver, as it would start the war prematurely."

"Let us go get them. We're ninjas, I'm sure we can get in and out undetected." Cole says, making everyone's eyes turn to him

"That's a great idea, Cole, but I'm afraid we cannot risk your lives." The guys sigh in unison

"Mr. Borg, there has to be something we can do..." By now, I've already got tears falling down my cheeks

"Mrs. Dana, please tell the doctors that Silver is able to leave the hospital." Mr. Borg turns and addresses the nurse, she nods and runs to find a doctor.

Mr. Borg hands me a change of clothes and I'm rushed to get changed in the bathroom. I throw on what he gave me: a tight, black skirt and a white button-up shirt, with a pair of black heeled boots.

As soon as I see the clothes, I know where we're going. We're going back to Borg Tower.

I walk out and see the guys and my father changed as well. I check out of the hospital, and we're off to Borg Tower
