I was working on my battle scenes so...maybe a warning for violence and mentions of bad language but no actual bad language.

  "Why does this always happen to me!" Jay yelped as he hurried to keep up with Cole.

  "Maybe that's just it. You're a bad luck charm. I never get this excitement when I'm with Zane." Cole grumbled, his thighs were burning as he glanced back at the horde of agents stampeding behind him. They sprinted quickly into the elevator. Jay jabbed the button repeatedly as the crowd follow, dangerous gazes dead set on the two ninja.

  "Come on, come on!" Jay said anxiously, his thumb bruising from its impact on the door close button.

  At last it shut and the two breathed a sigh of relief. The elevator made its way up and they slumped against the wall as the classical elevator music filled the air. It stopped at a floor, the doors dinging open. They jumped when they realized two agents were waiting for them.

  "Oh no." Jay went for the button but the agents surged forward. Jay barely dodged well placed moves, bouncing around clumsily as he tried to remember his training.

  Cole grunted and threw the agent over his shoulder, slamming his head back into the walls of the elevator. Jay tried to do the same but only managed to smack his face into the wall. The agent staggered back and spun around to attack again when Jay punched him frantically. The agent groaned, bleeding from his nose but righted himself once again unsteadily.

  "Fall asleep!" Jay punched him repeatedly as his anxiety got the better of him.

  Cole finally gave a quick blow to the temple and he was out.

  "I had that!" Jay snapped hotly.

  Cole gave him a incredulous look but he didn't have time to retort when the doors opened again. They could hear the sounds of footsteps in the halls and they exited the elevator, sending it up in hopes it would cause them to follow. Cole and Jay crept quickly down the hall, glancing around and listening for agents. Suddenly Jay felt something grab the back of his gi and yank him up. He yelled but a hand slapped over his mouth as he was dragged into the air vents. Cole got similar treatment but Cole promptly licked the hand, making the captor recoil.

  "Dude." Kai whispered in a disgusted voice.

  "Don't scare us like that!" Jay hissed when he realized the person holding him was Zane.

  "My apologies. You were leading the agents straight to Nya and Lloyd, we needed to get you out quickly." Zane said reasonably.

  "Yeah....well...the elevator wasn't working!" Jay struggled for an excuse.

  "My scan says otherwise."

  Kai groaned and began crawling through the vent. "This isn't important. We need to meet up with Nya and Lloyd in the main computer room."

  Jay continued grumbling undecipherable words under his breath but followed the fire ninja as he crept through the vents. Zane's eyes glowed, making beams of light bounce over the ducts as the clambered around. The only sounds were the creaking of the metal, the whisper of their breathing, and the occasional curse from Kai when he found something sharp.

  "We're here." Zane announced.

  The Nindroid waited a few beats before signalling Kai. The fire ninja raised his right hand, pointing his index finger and his middle finger, flames lit over the digits and he drew a box into the metal, cutting through it. The square fell with a twang and the ninja dropped down. They were met with Lloyd and Nya, both in defensive positions but they dropped them when they recognized their friends.
