Chapter 28 - Island Madness

The sky has become dark, and the moon is out. Luna and Kai are sitting around the campfire cooking their fish.

Luna: Do you think the league brought Slade here?

Kai: I don't know Luna.

Kai just stares blankly into the fire. Eventually Luna starts yelling for him to wake up because he is burning the fish.

Kai: Sorry.

Luna: It's fine. We have enough fish for now. Do you think we should go into the forest?

Kai: That is a horrible idea. They let Slade come over here so that we would go into the forest. They can't corner us if we are at the beach because they can't come from the ocean.

Luna: Well, what are we going to do then Kai?! We can't just sit here pretending we're adam and eve forever.

Kai: I don't see a problem.

Luna: I want to travel around, and experience new things! I don't want to be stuck on an island for the rest of my life!

Kai: What do you want me to do about it?

Luna: I want you to stop staring at a fire! We can't just give up!

Kai: It hasn't even been a day and you're already going mad.

Luna: Yeah, I'm mad at you! That Slade isn't your father! We can try to find your dad once we get off this island, but we can't if we stay here!

Kai sighs and then gets up.

Kai: Go to sleep.

Luna's face changes showing that she's irritated. Then Luna leaves so that she doesn't have to look at Kai. Then a loud overpowering voice speaks to kai.

The Beast(In Kai's Head): You cannot stay on this island.

Kai: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know already.

Kai starts eating his fish on a stick, and starts thinking to himself.

Kai: Oh, this is an easy situation.

The Beast(In Kai's Head): What's the plan?

Kai: Wait and see.

Luna comes back to the camp. When Luna and Kai's eyes meet she scowls at him. Luna then sits down next to the campfire. Kai sits down a few feet away from her.

Luna: Why?

Kai: Why what?

Luna: You act like a prick, and now you're going to try and apologize. What possibly made you change in the minute that I was gone!

Kai: Everyone does it. When someone gets wrapped up in their own feelings they forget about others. Luna, when I said go to sleep I meant get some rest. I have a plan, but we need to get some sleep.

Luna: Next time why don't you just talk to me instead of blocking me out and shutting down every idea I have.

Kai: I will.

Luna: Thank you. Now what do I sleep on?

Kai grabs his now dry shirt, and puts it under her head, and then he gives her his sweatshirt as a blanket.

Luna: Are you sure you want to use the leather jacket for your pillow?

Kai: I would use the sand if I didn't have to clean it out of my hair later.

Luna: Alright.

They both go to sleep. Kai wakes up before Luna, and then wakes her up.

Luna: Is it already time for "your plan."

Kai laughs.

Kai: Yeah it's time for "my plan."

Kai puts on his clothes, and Luna wakes herself up by splashing water on her face.

Luna: So, what's the plan?

Kai: We go into the forest.

Luna: We're using my idea?

Kai: I thought it would be a good idea. We might need to use your sword to cut down some vines though.

Luna: That's easy.

Kai and Luna walk through the forest for an hour. Then Luna gets snuck up on by two ninja. They grab her putting their hands over her mouth so she can't speak. Then Luna fights until she gets the hand off her mouth for just long enough to say-

Luna: KAI!

Kai turns around to see Talia and Nyssa holding Luna down. Then Kai tries to run over to Luna, but two shurikens fly in front of him hitting a tree. Sarab walks in front of Kai's way to get to Luna.

Kai: Does this mean we are going to have to fight?

Sarab: I think you know the answer to that.

Kai takes out his staff. Luna breaks out of Talia's hold.

Talia: You want to fight both of us?

Nyssa: Please do. I would love a good fight.

They all take out their swords. Talia swings at Luna from the right. Luna blocks, and Nyssa stabs at her. Luna rolls back. When Luna looks up two swords are slicing from the left and right. Luna rolls in between them slicing their sides. Luna gets back to her feet, and Talia goes for an overhead strike. Luna blocks it, but is struggling to push enough force to the blade. Nyssa slices Luna across her stomach. Luna jumps back. Luna starts breathing heavy and holding her wound. Talia and Nyssa run at Luna almost in sync. Nyssa goes for a strike from the left. Then Talia goes for a strike to the right. They keep up this same pattern but they speed up until Luna can barely keep up with the speed. Then Nyssa changes her attack, and stabs Luna in her stomach. Luna falls to the ground. While that was happening Kai was battling Sarab. Sarab went for a low swing with his sword. Kai blocked it with his staff. Then Kai went for an upwards swing. Sarab moved back to dodge it. Kai takes a step forward and does an overhead strike. Sarab dodged and went for a side slash. Kai ducked at the end of the overhead swipe dodging the attack. Kai gets back up, and they are both ten feet away from each other.

Sarab: You can't beat the league Kai.

Kai: I think that's debatable.

Sarab sighs.

Sarab: You can debate anything, but that doesn't mean your right.

Kai runs over to Sarab, and goes for a baseball swing. Sarab ducks under it, and goes for a slash. Kai does a low rolling block. Then Kai thrusts his staff into Sarab. Sarab falls back. Then rolls back to his feet. Sarab goes for an overhead strike, and Kai sweeps his legs out with his staff. Sarab falls back over.

Kai: You're too predictable. You never use anything but the basics.

Sarab: But you still get tripped up in the basics of strategy.

Kai: What are you talking about?

Fifty ninjas walk out from the shadows of the forests to show that they are all around them. Kai turns around to see Luna with a blade in her, and then he looks back at Sarab. Sarab picks himself back up from the ground.

Sarab: So?

Kai drops his staff, and then goes onto his knees.

Kai: I surrender.
