'Silver's POV'

"So, what's your plan?" Jay asks as we step into the elevator that will take us to the top floor of Borg Tower

"We're going to tell all of the soldiers to prepare for battle and be ready for my signal." There must be more to his plan, but that's all he tells us

When we get to the top floor, Pixal is waiting for us.

"They're ready." She says, he nods

"Who's ready?" Kai asks as we walk out of the elevator

"Everyone who's going to fight." He answers, I immediately speak up

"Great, where are our weapons, let's get ready too. I need my bow, and my-" he cuts me off

"Silver, you are not fighting. The boys are ready and will be leaving to meet with the mutations soon. You, however, will be staying here with me." I furrow my eyebrows and try to contain myself

"I'm fighting too, I'm the one who's destined to save Ninjago!" My voice raises, but not enough to be considered a yell

"Silver, your head still has not completely healed, and the doctors told us that you are still emotionally unstable." He says calmly

"I will not let everyone else fight my battle! I'm the one who was tortured, mutated and almost killed for most of my life by them! I have a right to fight in this!" He stops and considers what I've said

"Silver, before we continue arguing, I think I should tell you that I am not the one who doesn't want you to fight." Then who-... My father

"Silver, I don't want to loose you. I want you to stay here with us." I see tears in his eyes

"Dad, I'm sorry, but I just can't do that." He nods his head in understanding

"I thought you would want to fight. That's why we made you this." He turns towards a blank wall, and a full suit of body armour rises from the floor

"It is designed specifically for you, so it will fit you perfectly. I also brought the bow and arrows you've been training with." Pixal sets my bow and arrows by the armour

Beep, beep

The big tv screen beeps, before Vanessa's face appears on the screen.

"Hello, Cyrus-!" She gasps "Silver?!"

Mr. Borg whispers quietly in my ear "stall her."

"Hello, Vanessa." I step into full view of the screen

"How are you doing, now that we've got your son?" She smirks. Her words send an unbearable stab of sadness through me, but I push it away for the moment

"Where is he?" I cross my arms

"Well, they're trying to take control of his brain right now. I was just calling Cyrus to tell him how well it's going, much better than taking over either of his parents brains'." She laughs wickedly and suddenly all of my worst nightmares are brought to reality

That's it, I can't keep stalling her, because I can barely keep myself on my feet

"That's right, he's going to be our weapon against you, and there's noting you can do about it!" I can't breathe, it's as if something is blocking my throat.

"Now!" I hear Mr. Borg shout. In an instant, Pixal is at the computer, cutting off Vanessa's video chat and typing at amazing speeds on the keyboard

"Silver, you've got to get ready." I fall to the ground and gasp air into my lungs

"We've got to get them back!" I scream as I take the suit into another room. Pixal helps me get dressed and ties the helmet's strap under my chin. She was right, the black armour fits me perfectly, and feels incredibly lightweight. There is even special armour for my wings, so I'll be able to fly during combat.

When I walk out of the room, each of the five guys is in a similar suit of armour. We're given earpieces so that we're able to keep in touch. We also each have many guns hidden in our armour. Pixal hands me my bow and arrows

"You've all got cameras in your helmets, so we'll be able to see what's going on at any given moment." Mr. Borg explains

My father hugs me before I step into the elevator "stay safe. I'm so proud of you." He whispers, pressing his lips against my forehead

"I will. I love you." I step onto the elevator, luckily the doors close before tears can start falling down my cheeks.

Goodbye dad. I love you. If I never see you again, I want you to know that I'll never forget you...
