Into the Dark
Nya's POV-
I stared down at the frail body beneath me. I had never realized how frail and small Pixal actually was, her sharp temper made her seem so tall and strong.
I had also never suspected that she wasn't human.
I reached my gloved fingers to Pixal's exposed wiring. I would have assumed she was a cyborg, if there hadn't been so much of her mechanical interior exposed.
I picked up Pixal's body, careful not to shake her already rattled structure. She was light. Lighter than I expected.
Skylor's POV-
I leaned against the side of Amber's Rage. "When is Nya gonna get back?" I sighed.
"I dunno." Harumi said from her position on top of Princess of Ninjago. "It could be hours. Her mech might be broken, and she might be on the other side of the battlefield, and maybe she's-"
Seliel, The Commander, cur her off. "I doubt it. Nya can take care of herself. But it is getting late..."
As if on cue, Nya's short figure appeared from the mist. She seemed to be carrying something, or someone.
When she got closer, I realized that the figure in her arms was Pixal, the short and short-tempered second in command.
Nya, upon reaching our location, dropped Pixal and collapsed onto her hands and knees.
Pixal was sprawled our on the ground. Her hair had come undone, and her clothes were a mess. And there was-
"Pixal's a robot?!" Harumi shouted unnecessarily loudly.
I shushed her. "Nya, What is this?"
Nya got up and brushed herself off. "I don't know." She said. "I just found her like this."
"Commander?" I heard Harumi weakly say. "What is this."
I turned to Seliel. Her usually emotionless face was pale with fear.
Seliel must've noticed our staring, because she immediately straightened up and brushed a loose hair out of her face. "This- this does not matter. What matters is that we all get out of here now. Most of our mechs are damaged and it's still not safe." The Commander walked away
Harumi followed Seliel. "Commander- I - I don't understand. Where are we going?"
Seliel turned around after pausing for a moment. "Harumi, you get Pixal. We're going to my place. Nya, Skylor, go home. You two need rest.
"But-" I protested. Whatever it was, I wanted to find out more about this 'Commander'.
Seliel marched over to where I stood. "Go." She ordered. "Tend to Nya's and your own wounds. Rest. Report back in 48 hours."
"Y-yes." I stuttered. "I understand, Commander."
As Seliel, Harumi, and Pixal moved out of my view, I helped Nya to her feet.
"Where..?" Nya weakly asked.
I smiled down at Nya. "We're going home, Nya. We're going home.
