All five landed down in a clearing.

“What's the best way to find them in this wildness of the jungle?” Cole asked

Jackson was quickly going through his pockets, which the others were surprised by

“You have pockets?” Lloyd asked surprised

“‘Course I do. And I had something for finding each of you if the blasted idiot didn't change up my stuff.” Jackson answered, mutterin the last part to himself

“What was that?” Loriah asked having not heard

“Nothin’.” Jackson said before pulling out a phone like item

“Finally!”

“What's  that?” Cole said

“A tracker.”

“Wait wait, you put trackers on us!?” Lloyd exclaimed, and was returned with an eye roll

“Relax, it's on your hood. It's only meant for situations  like this. Geez, what do you take me as? A psycho?” Jackson mused as he booted it up

Loriah smirked slightly at his comeback

“Got nothin’ do you?”

“Can it.”

“Jay and Kai are the closest. Just several  yards away.” Jackson announced

“Let's  go get the two then.”

***

Few minutes later they came across Kai, upside down in a tall tree.

“How's  it hanging?”  Jackson asked with a smirk

“Shut it and get me down.” Kai growled back unamused

“I could...I could, but you're forgetting something.”

“No.”

“Kai just say please so he can get you down.”  Nya say with a heavy sigh

“No way! If that's the case I'll  get down myself.” Kai retorted as he started to try and unstick himself

Jackson looked at his watch

“Broken wrist in….3….2….1…”

There was then a snapping sound and Kai yelped

“Told you. If you looked, your wrist shouldn't  bend like that, but since you were ever so eagarws to get yourself down…” Jackson trailed

“Fine, fine! Please get me down.” Kai called back miserably

“Done.”

Within seconds Jackson used his powers and got Kai back on the ground.

“Wrist.” Jackson then said doctor-like

Kai gingerly lifted his left wrist and Jackson examined it

“Incomplete fraction.” He tsked, “Loriah still got that medical wrap?”

“I was about to get rid of it but didn't.” Loriah replied as she came over before passing it to him

“Thank a you.” Jackson said, flashing his a grin before tightly wrapping Kai's  wrist.

“Don't  move it and don't  you dare touch it. I will know. I'll  do a better job back on the bounty.” Jackson ordered

Kai only bit his lip and nodded

“Are we getting Jay now?” Cole asked

“Yes, but I'm  more concerned with Cress and Zane's  signals seeing their flickering in and out.” Jackson replied

“Split up then?” Nya asked

“Precisely. Cole, Kai, Nya, you three can go get Jay. He's further east.  Looks like he’s in a tree too. Once you get him, head back to the bounty. Lloyd and Loriah, you both will come with me. ” Jackson directed and nobody dared to question

With that said they each divided off.

****

Jackson lead the way in the direction of Cress, whose signal was worst than Zane's.

They then came to a stop.

“I'm  confused, it says she's right here?” Lloyd said, peering over Jackson's  shoulder, gaining a nod in response

“Cress?” Loriah called but gained no response

Jackson looked around before spotting a tangle of vines

Carefully he walked over, the other two close behind. Peering in, Jackson muttered to himself

“Well I'll  be, for once you were right.”

“Where's Cress?” Lloyd asked

“In there.” Jackson said with a nod of his head at the vines

“I can cut them.” Loriah suggested, pulling of her weapon

“I would suggest not. You see, these are alive.” Jackson commented as he examined his staff

“Say what now!?” Lloyd exclaimed

“You heard me correctly. Alive. They need a new, non-sharp, prey.” Jackson said simply

Before either of the siblings could say anything, Jackson then wedged his staff into the center of the vines.

To their slight horror, the vines moved, wrapping themselves around the new moment. However, as they moved, they revealed Cress, unconscious  beneath them.

In a flash, Lloyd pulled Cress out.

“Looks like I'm  not getting that back.” Jackson commented as the vines snapped his staff into two

Lloyd gently laid Cress on the ground and Jackson quickly head over to her.

“Unconscious, weaken pulse, faltered breathing..” Jackson mumbled to himself

Lloyd and Loriah both stood there confused and unsure what to do.

“Loriah.” Jackson then said suddenly

“Yes?”

“I need you to use your lightning and gently shock her.”

“Say what now?”

“Her pulse isn't  as stable as I would like, she needs a shock if that makes sense.”

“Got it.” Loriah said with a nod before gently electrify her hand and touching Cress, giving her a shock.

Jackson frowned for a moment before smiling slightly

“She's  stable now. Lloyd, you will need to carry her.”

“On it.” Lloyd said before gently picking her up bridal style

Jackson grinned slightly at them, before standing back up.

“Now to find Zee.” He said with a slight clap of his hands

***

Several minutes, they found Zane in a bush, powered down.

“Is he alright?” Loriah asked as she helped pull him out

“Si, he's  powered down for self repairs. Zane will power back up once his system clears him.”

“Are you sure?”

“Doubt me now, are we?” He teased

“Be quiet.”

“You know you love it.”

Loriah only smiled slightly as shook her head. Jackson grinned and looked at them all.

“How should we get back?” Lloyd asked

“Well, seeing two of us are in an unsafe dragon riding position, might be best to go via my way.” Jackson answered

“Oh no.” Lloyd groaned

“Oh yes.” Jackson said as he got Loriah ready with Zane.

He took a hold of both Lloyd and Loriah’s upper arms.

“This'll be interesting.” He said before making them all vanish

***

A moment later they were back on the deck. Loriah shook her head slightly, while Lloyd set Cress down, dry heaving.

“That went better than expected.” Jackson said while shaking his head slightly

Loriah only nodded in response

The rest of the team then came back and greeted them

“Hey guys!” Jay said with a wave as he came over, limping slightly

“Sprained ankle.” Jackson commented

“Kinda.” Jay replied

“Go down below into the room next to my lab. I will be there in a moment.” Jackson directed

Jay simply nodded and did so

“Cole, can you take Zane down there as well? Kai, you go as well. Nya, can you go check up on Ec please?” Jackson asked

“'Course.”

“Sure.”

Jackson grinned before heading over and picking up Cress.

“What about me?” Loriah asked as she glanced at her brother starting to turn green

“I need a co-medic now don't I?” Jackson said playfully

Loriah chuckled in response  and followed him below.

She was surprised to see that in the room that Jackson lead her to was similar to that of a medical bay. There were a few beds and medical supplies in there as well.

Jackson carefully laid Cress down on one of the beds.

“Know how to take care of a sprained ankle?” Jackson asked while tossing her a roll of wrap and grabbing an oxygen mask.

“Pretty sure I do. Guess Jay will find out real soon.” She replied with a grin

“Off you go then.” Jackson laughed

Together the two quickly patched up their teammates. Loriah having done, as Jackson said amazing, job at dealing with Jay. He stabilized Cress, putting her under an oxygen mask for reassurance and watching her heart rate. Both worked together and put a cast onto Kai and rebandaged his shoulder. Jackson then showed her how to hook Zane up, so he could keep an eye on his repairs.

By the time they were done, Jay and Kai were both asleep, and it sounded like everyone else was as well though it was only 8.

Loriah stretched and yawned lightly as she stood up.

“You did excellent.” Jackson said with a smile at her

“You say that about everything I do.” Loriah gently teased

“‘Cause its true.”

Loriah chuckled in response.

“I'll  see you tomorrow mister.” She said with a slight smile before pecking him on the cheek and heading off

When she looked back, she saw Jackson looking like his world exploded with happiness.

***

Kai groaned internally as he opened his eyes. He was greeted with the sound of a steady beeping and darkness.

Sitting up and squinting slightly, he saw that it was around 11:45 at night.

Feeling a stir crazy and sore, he quietly slid out of bed. He looked around, ensuring the coast was clear, before stepping out of the room.

He tiptoed out into the hallway, trying to ignore the throbbing of his wrist.

It was dark throughout, except for a cracked door that had light streaming out of it.

‘That's odd, only Jackson or Zane can enable and disable the locks down here.’ Kai thought to himself

Suspicious and curious, Kai crept over to it.

He listened closely, hearing a voice.

“Clearly I have a different style than you.”

Kai stood confused for a moment. The voice sounded nowhere close to the sound of any of his teammates, Sensei, nor Echo.

It was more cunning and slightly cocky.

There was then a rustling noise.

Unable to handle the sneakiness any further, Kai looked into the room.

He failed to hold in his gasp.

Within the room was a boy he had never seen before.

He had curly, scarlet colored hair. He was also wearing a black pair of pants than only went just past the knee, with all sorts of rips and chains on them. Along with a red and black ripped tank top underneath a long, sleeveless, dirt red jacket with chain detailing. He was pulling on a pair of black fingerless gloves.

The boy heard Kai’s  gasp, but pretended not to notice.

Kai saw as the boy headed somewhere else.

Before he knew what hit him, he felt a wave of electricity course through him. Kai fell forward, falling onto his back into the room.

The room then start to spin and turn blurry.

“Night, nighty.” the boy's voice sneered as he leaned over Kai with a smirk

The last thing Kai saw, was the boy's grey eyes that were tinted with red.
