"Hey guys," Mason called and the rest of the team came over to the master of earth.  "I think I found something hidden in the files that Justin and Rosie sent us." He pulled up the file.  "You don't really notice it unless you go all the way to the end.  I doubt that they even saw it."  He went all the way to the end of the file.

"What is it?" Zeke asked confused.

"It looks like they were gathering information," Juliet said.

Alex observed it closely.  "No way," she said and everyone turned towards her.  "This is information about Rosie, including her schematics."

"So, these guys wanted Rosie," Harper pointed out.  "But what about Justin?"

"My guess is that he's the leverage," Max said.  "We need to find them."

"I may have an idea where they could be," Felix said and everyone looked towards him.  "If you look carefully at the map, there is one area that has no location marked.  It is reasonable to assume that they are holding Justin and Rosie somewhere in that area."

"Good work, Felix," Mason said as he looked at the map and then turned back to the rest of the team.  He really hated being the leader and wished that Max would just take over the leadership role again.  Unfortunately, Max is right that Mason knows more than he does when it comes to these guys.  Although, Mason is realizing how little all of them actually know about what these guys are up to.  "We need to go over there and take a look around.  Unfortunately, we still have no idea where they could be in that area.  Felix, you stay here and monitor what's going on.  The rest of us will split up in teams of two and scope out that area."  Everyone nodded.  "Let's head out."

Location: Unknown

Justin and Rosie have been trying to brainstorm a way out, but so far, they have nothing.  There just didn't seem to be a way out of this one which terrified them both.  Justin knew what this guy wants to do to Rosie and he wasn't going to let that happen.  He was in love with her.  Who would've though a human could fall in love with a nindroid?  Nobody until they got together.  He wasn't going to let anything happen to her.  Rosie was afraid of what the guy might do to Justin just to get her.  She figured out that Justin was the leverage the guy had over her and hated it.  She didn't want Justin to get hurt while trying to protect her, but she knew he would do whatever it takes to protect her and that scared her.

The guy they now assume is the big boss came back in.  "Ok. I'm back," he said.

"Now, you can let us go," Justin spat.

"You might be able to go, lightning ninja, but that depends on your girlfriend." He turned to Rosie. "What will it be, robot? Come with me and I'll let him go. If you refuse, well, I'm sure you don't want to see what will happen to him."

"Rosie, don't!" Justin warned and grabbed her hands. "I'll be fine. Don't worry about me. You can't go with him."

"I have to," Rosie told him. "You cannot always protect me. You have protected me so many times before. This time, it is my turn to protect you."

"You can't, Rosie. He'll kill you. I can't live without you."

Rosie pulled Justin close and whispered in his ear. "You will just have to save me then. I did not think it would be possible for me to really feel love until I started dating you. I love you and I cannot let this villain hurt you because of me."

"Rosie, I lo-" Justin started, but Rosie shushed him.

"I want you to say it once you save me."

Justin nodded. He really didn't want to leave Rosie, but he knew that there was no changing Rosie's mind on this. She wanted to protect him. Why are they all so noble when it comes to trying to save each other? Why is at least one of them always a target for some villain in Ninjago? Why is Justin asking himself all these questions when his girlfriend is going to do what the villain says for him?

Rosie let go of Justin and turned back to the villain. "I will go with you as long as you release Justin. You want me anyways, not him."

"Smart robot girl," the boss said. "I am a man of my word, but I also can't let him just walk out."  He turned to Justin.  "I don't want you to know where we are and tell your teammates."

The boss opened the cage and a couple of men went inside and grabbed Justin. One of them had a syringe with a needle and put it in Justin's neck which caused the master of lightning to go unconscious.

"You are drugging him?!" Rosie said in shock.

The boss shrugged.  "I could've done a lot worse.  At least this way, he won't know where we are and no one will be able to find you.  You're mine now."

Rosie watches the men drag an unconscious Justin out of the cage.  "You are letting him go, correct?"  There was no way that she trusted this new villain and she doesn't trust him to keep his word.

"Yes," the boss said.  "I don't actually want him or any of the others.  I just want you and maybe I'll torture Borg eventually, but I have priorities.  Plus, I think what I'm about to do to one of his grandkids will be torture for him once he finds out."

"You will not get away with this.  Ninja never quit.  They will find me and you will be sorry."

"Woah.  Where did all this confidence come from?  From what I heard about your team, you have been the one with the least amount of confidence."

Rosie just glared at the man.  She hated him with a burning passion.  He thinks he knows so much about her and her team, but he doesn't know what any of them are truly capable of.  She knows that they will find her.

A/N: Sorry this took so long.  I started the Disney College Program which has taken up a lot of my time.  Anyways, I hope you enjoyed!
