Vengeance [Complete]

Chapter 18- Clues

Third POV

"I warned you about trusting them!" Cole said, throwing his hands in the air.

"Let's not jump to conclusions. They could be in great danger." Sensei Wu informed them, stroking his beard.

"Sensei is right, they might have been kidnapped by the Sons of Garmadon-"

"Ugh, I can't believe how calmly you're taking this!" Cole snapped, interrupting Zane. "Two of our team members have left all of a sudden! And not just any team members! No, they just happen to be freaking criminals! Doesn't anyone find this suspicious?!"

"Dude, relax. You're blabbering more than Jay right now and that is not a good sign." Lloyd chuckled.

"Anyways," Jay spoke up, glaring at Lloyd. "They'll probably come back. At least I think so.. But if your so curious we can just go and look for them." He looked back at Wu, who nodded.

"Zane, Lloyd, you don't mind spying on the Sons of Garmadon alone, right?" He glanced at the two.

"We don't mind, although we'll have to find their hideout first.." Zane sighed.

"I'll stay here in case they come back." Wu said.

"Of course.." Lloyd rose a brow. "Bye uncle." He said goobye before going outside with the others.

"I guess we'll meet up later?" Cole waved at Lloyd and Zane, who were just mounting Shard.

"Yup. Good luck on finding the others." They both waved back at them as Shard flew off. From what they had heard before, they'd be heading to Ninjago City once again to find clues about the gang and most importantly, Garmadon's plans.

Cole and Jay approached their dragons as well. They figured it would be best to bring them along, in case Zane and Lloyd ran into trouble.

"He really is a dog, huh?" Jay chuckled at the sight of Rocky. He hadn't been out for a while, so him being finally free to roam around made him jump up and down like a dog.

"He likes to eat treats as well." Cole petted the dragon's head, before calming it down. It lowered his wing, letting him mount it.

"I say we start from Jamanakai." Jay said, getting on Wisp. "They can't have gone that far."

Cole nodded, as both of the dragons flew off. Well, even though the flight was short, it quickly turned into a race. Cole ended up winning, much to Jay's surprise. They landed in the village's entrance as people gathered around the dragons.

"Nothing to see here people. Just some elemental flying lizards." Jay tried to reassure them, quickly running from the crowd along with Cole.

"I am surprised you managed to stay calm this entire time." Cole smirked at his best friend. "I mean, I would have expected you to at least scream."

He could feel the growing pressure in Jay's face. And he was right, he broke down right after. "Of course and I'm worried! They could be seriously injured by now! Heck, they could be dead for all we know!" He finally snapped.

"Look, I'm a bit paranoid as well, but let's not jump to conclusions." Cole looked at him with wide eyes. "But it's nice that you got that out."

As they were walking past all the houses, they noticed a loud sound -or more like loud cursing- coming from one of the shops.

"I knew I should have stayed on Stixx.." They saw a middle aged man, rummaging through some boxes. It looked like the shop has just opened. He sighed and put on his red straw hat, before he noticed the two ninja staring at him.
