Brother of Wind {Book 9: Hunted}

Chapter 4

How unfortunate. The guys in the First Realm have unfortunately found themselves captured by the civilization there. Jay, Kai, and Zane were wrapped in chains as they were thrown into a large arena about to fight a dragon.

“And here I thought we were at rock bottom. I've gone insane, Kai was so happy to find foil! Master Wu is eight years old, Cole is probably dead! We're having such a lovely time!” Jay exclaimed.

Yes, it seems a lot has happened in the span of one day in the First Realm. And now they were separated into two groups, the captured and the presumed dead. I suppose. Whatever Jay says.

“You think we'd be good with dragons by now.” Kai sighed. “Maybe be friends with them all!”

“In Dead End, there are no friends.” Zane stepped away from the growling and rattling bars that were holding captive a dragon.

“Haha. Dead end. We're dead.” Jay laughed.

“THANK YOU JAY!” Kai shouted, pushing Jay's head away. Kai stared at the bars and the dragon. It was big and rough looking. “Looks like an Earth Dragon.” He said. “How about we get rid of Jay and make a run for it?”

“We are not trading lives! And we are not using our powers either.” Zane commanded. “If they chain up dragons and use their powers… what would they do to us?”

Kai swallowed as the bars raised and the dragon ran out, growing and shouting. Only natural it was so aggressive. It was in captivity. The dragons, the real dragons the Ninja have encountered, weren't this aggressive, as they were asked to guard the Golden Weapons, and not forced.

The Ninja ran in different directions, trying to get away from the dragon and escape with life. How would they even escape?! They're in a colosseum fighting a dragon!! Plus everyone in the civilization of Dragon Hunters thinks that the Ninja are Oni!

“No powers?! Like at all?!” Kai shouted as he ran against the wall. The dragon’s wings flapped as he stood on his hind legs. “Uh on.” Kai knew what that meant from the old times with Cole and Rocky. He’s about to strike.

Kai jumped off the wall as he felt the ground rumble behind him. He flipped over and looked down at the ground. The dragon had fired its power to make the ground spike upwards. Fatal if someone was hit by it. Kai landed on the other side of the spikes and ran towards Zane.

“We have to find something to subdue it!” Zane exclaimed. 

“Like what? There’s nothing but rock and sand!” Kai yelled. “If you want me to hold it down with my bare hands, just let me know!” 

“I do not believe that is possible.” Zane said.

“I WAS BEING SARCASTIC!” Kai quickly spat out. He spotted Jay slowly backing away. “Ugh.” Kai ran over to Jay and tackled him to the ground, just narrowly dodging the spiking earth. That led the dragon to focus on these two.

“Zane! Zane!!”

The Nindroid looked around at the call of his name. He looked up to see two figures waving down at him. “Cole? Master Wu?” Zane asked. “You’re here!”

“Haha! Looks like someone's alive!” Kai slid across the ground, dragging Jay behind him.

“We’re here to help!” Cole called. 

“Then you should leave!” Zane told them.

“What? We’re trying to save you!”

“It’s honourable, thank you.” Zane started. “But it’s not your fault. Master Wu is part Oni, a descendant of the First Spinjitzu Master. The longer you’re here, the more the aggressive the dragon might become!”
