Ninjago: How Could You Betray Me.

Chapter 4

Cole's p.o.v

Waiting for mine and Kai's fight, I'm hoping Kai goes easy. From what Garmadon has implyed, Kai's stronger than I am. The gate opens, I walk out into the arena. The far gate opens, Kai walks out, decked in armour. "Match between fire and earth, begin." Chen calls out. Kai is on me in a second. I have to matrix to avoid his attack. He's not just stonger, he's faster. I can douge, I can't get an attack in, he's so fast. I manage a hit, and regret it has my lava arms come in contact with vengestone armour.

'I'm fucked.' Is all I think when Kai lifts me up, throwing me clean across the arena. "Fifteen years, I suffered. Fifteen years I rotted in prison. Fifteen  years ago none of you had my back. That feeling you feel, your friends so close, but unable to help. That's how I felt. I don't want revenge, I want each of you the feel what I felt. Helplessness, lonelyness, betrayal, heartbreak, and finally, regret." Kai yells, he charges, I bearly get out the way. He slams into the wall, fist embedded. 'If he had hit me.' I thought as creaking sounds. Looking, I can't jump as the floor gives way, I bearly grab hold. "Cole." Lloyd and Jay call out.

Kai walks up, standing. He sets his foot above my hand. "Kai, help me, please." I say, my right shoulder dislocated. "Did you help me in the park, or at the trial. You hand cuffed me yourself. How's it feel to not have the help you so highly relied on but now, as you struggle to hd on, you don't have it. That's how I felt." Kai hisses. It hits like a tidel wave, he's teaching me a lesson. He wants me to feel helpless and I do. I look hem in the eyes, grip starting to slip. "Kai, nothing I say or do can change what I've done, but for what it's worth, I'm sorry. I let you down as a teammate, a friend, a brother-in-arms and I broke the trust we had. I'm sorry I didn't stand up for you. I was blinded by rage and my own betrayal. You don't have to forgive me, but I at least want to earn it back. I'm truly and deeply sorry." I say. Kai looks at me, my grip gives and I fall.

I expect to hit the ground far below but it never does. A hand is around my wrist, I look, Kai is leaned over the edge, he has a small smile on his mouth. "I got cha, brother." Kai said. He starts pulling me up, as I get close to the edge, he starts whispering. "I need an inside man. Someone I can trust, only one of us is getting away from this fight and your banged up. Will you do it." I nod without hesitation, his bracelet separates, half goes on my wrist. "Your an honorary Assassin's member. If it goes well, I'll make you a full member." Kai said pulling me over the edge. "By the way, I'm sorry for this." I go to look at hem, his fist connects with my temple and I'm out like a light.

Lloyd's p.o.v

Watching the fight, I want to jump down and help Cole. At one point, if you wasn't sitting, you got knocked to your ass as Kai slammed his fist into the wall. The floor under Cole gives, he falls, bearly grabing the egde. Kai approached hem, intending to stomp on his fingers. Honor be damned, I go to leap forward when dad grabs my arm. He nods where Kai and Cole are. I look, Kai has Cole by the wrist, pulling hem up and than clocks Cole in the temple. Kai walks to the jade blade, Cole is taken away.

Kai's p.o.v

Walking to my room, I'm slammed into the wall. Jay's blue eyes lock with mine. "What did he do to you..."I grip his wrist, flip hem over and he goes over the rails. Two lessons in one day. The five masters hold the ninja gang back. Jay struggles to hold on, his hands sweaty. "How's it feel, feel alone, feel helpless. The ninja can't help you." I say. Jay grunts, his fingers crackle with lightning but with me so close, he can't use it. "Feel that in your stomach, it's fear. Helplessness, loneliness. That how I felt in the park." Jay's right hand slips, he falls a little. "Kai, please....please, I'm sorry. God I'm sorry. Yes, we turned our backs, I turned my back on my brother and I'm sorry. Forgive me." Jay calls up at me. He looks at me, tears falling and I deside he's learned the lesson. His hand goes to slip, I grasp it and pull hem up over the railing.

Jay pants on the floor, than gets up, hugging me. I return it but pull back. "I forgive you but I don't trust you yet. Cole has earned a small amount of trust, but you have to gain what little he has earned and more." I tell hem. He nods, wripping his eyes. "Go back to you room, you've learned your lesson. The others still have theirs to learn." Jay nods once more, passing Neuro and Griffin, going to the stairs and down them to his room. I sigh, turn to my room as the others leave. Entering, I lay on the bed.

Jay's p.o.v

In the bathroom of my room, I wash my face. Kai gave me a scare when he threw me over the railing. But, I get the lesson he tought me, he wanted me to feel helpless and lonely. I couldn't pull myself up the rail, he waited till I felt what he felt all those years ago and than he helped me. He wanted me to know what it was like for hem, to have friends and brothers around but them not helping. A knock at my door has me jumping. Going to it, I open the door to see Lloyd, Zane, Nya and Garmadon.

Stepping aside, I go back to the bathroom to rinse my face once more. Coming out, Zane is looking me over. "I'm fine, Kai was teaching me a lesson, like he did to Cole." I say. Lloyd looks at me, he cocks an eyebrow. "He wants us to feel how he felt in the park all those years ago. Only than will he forgive us. He's forgave me and Cole so far and Cole has even gained a small amount of his trust back." I say. "What's he wanting to teach us." Nya asked. "For Cole it was helplessness and betrayal. For Jay, helplessness and loneliness" Kai says, leaning on the door. "For each of you, it's different, but the same at the same time. How I felt to one of you, is the lesson I'll teach you. Jay." I look at hem. "You are on par with Cole." I look at hem, how'd I gain his trust. Garmadon smiles, patting my back. Zane goes to Kai, intending to hug and kiss his cheek. Kai stops hem. "I ment what I said in the court room. We're done. I'm married and happy with twin girls. You no longer hold my heart, Danny does and forever will." Kai said. Zane looks heart broken, I realize Kai just gave Zane a lesson and don't mean for it to happen this way.

"Lesson three, heartbreak. Doesn't feel good, does it, Zane." Kai said. He shakes his head. "I lost my love for you as a boyfriend but I still love you as a brother." Kai pulls Zane into a hug. "Never forget this is how I felt with you." Kai says, letting go and he leaves. It clicks what the lessons are. "Cole's was helplessness, mine loneliness and zane's was heartbreak. Nya's must be betrayal and Lloyd's is guilt." I say. "When will he do ours." Nya asks, I shrug.

Kai's p.o.v

Hearing Nya ask that question, I smile. "Your next, sister, and you'll know just how I felt that day." I mutter. Walking away, I head to my room.
