Cryptor's defeat, it seemed like ages ago, when P.I.X.A.L put an end to his reign, bringing back peace and harmony back to Ninjago once more. Now mature adults, the ninja all parted ways to settle down, Cole and Kai stayed back with Sensei in the now rebuilt hideout, Lloyd stayed of course with his parents in their tranquil monastery, P.I.X.A.L and Zane stayed in Borg Tower along with Cyrus, now the peace keepers of New Ninjago City and all of Ninjago itself, and finally, Jay and Nya, moved into a house just near the peaceful mountains, now boyfriend and girlfriend.
It was a normal day in the mountains, the sun rose over the horizon, a beautiful sight it was. Nya awoke to the sweet breeze of the morning, the best there was in the day, she smiled and got up from her bed, careful not to awake her lover who was still sound asleep. She made her way to the kitchen, deciding to make a nice breakfast for them both. She opened the cupboard and found herself with multiple ingredients, she wanted to make something simple, and so she chose to make fried eggs with toast. "I just hope Jay likes them as much as I do," she muttered to herself.
Jay was met with the bright rays of the morning sun, he hissed and covered his eyes, going back to sleep only to be awoken right again when Nya opened the curtains. "AHH," Jay fell out of his bed.
Nya chuckled, "Rise and shine, sleeping beauty." Jay rubbed his eyes and looked at her with a sarcastic expression, "I was getting my beauty sleep."
"As if," Nya teased going back to the kitchen. Jay got up and followed, "Hey! I need my beauty sleep to look beautiful!"
"Oh I'm sure you don't need help with that," Nya stated, chuckling, "Because your beautiful to me." Jay seemed to blush, "Really? Well, same to you, my narcissus flower." Nya blushed at his comment, which were always super sweet, that was one of the reasons she loved him. Nya heard the toaster ding, she went over to take the toast out, Jay looked over at her and asked a stupid question, "Whatcha cooking?"
Nya looked over at him, and crossed her arms, "What do you think?"
"Uhh, bread?" Jay asked.
"Congratulations! You just used your brain!" Nya teased, laughing. Jay crossed his arms, "Haha, very funny." The samurai took the four pieces of toast and put two on a plate and the other on a plate, she then went to fry the eggs. Jay took in a sniff only to meet satisfaction, "I've always wanted to date a woman who's a hell of a cook." Nya blushed harder at his comment, "Well its not everyday you meet a girl who's a samurai, a good cook, and a mechanic all at once."
Jay pondered at that, "Eh, good point."
After the eggs were done, the two ate while sitting outside and looking at the nature surrounding them, it was a peaceful sight anyone would die to see, the couple were lucky to have chosen this spot to settle down after decades from fighting forces of evil.
In the hideout, Cole and Kai seemed to be sword fighting, Sensei watched with a cup of tea in hand, it was just like the old times when they used to train. Cole lashed out at Kai making the fire ninja fall, the earth ninja pointed his katana at him, keeping him to the ground, the earth ninja looked at Sensei who gave a nod. Cole let down his sword and helped Kai to his feet. The fire ninja took off his head armor and brushed a hand through his hair, "Phew, what a morning eh, Cole?"
"Yeah, I wonder how the others are doing, Jay and Nya are probably cuddling in bed, typical, boyfriend and girlfriend stuff," Cole stated, putting his hands on his knees to catch a breath. Kai rolled his eyes, "Yeah, seems to be, and what about you, have you found a love life?"
Cole huffed and looked at Kai with a blank expression, "What does it matter, Kai?"
"Oh, so you don't have a love interest?" Kai asked, a little cocky.
"Shut up. Just, just...whatever, I love who I want, alright? Why do you care anyway?" Cole asked getting up. Kai shrugged, "Just wanna know, I mean you are still sad that Nya chose Jay over you right?"
"Hey, she chose who she wanted, I'm fine with that, and no I'm not sad about that," Cole responded, taking off his headgear and stomping towards the backdoor, Kai followed, "I'm just saying!" Cole rolled his eyes, ever since Nya chose Jay he's just, been feeling a little off lately, he felt happy for Nya for choosing, yet still, there was some feeling inside him and it was strangely, lonely. He shook it off and went inside to lay on the couch, he didn't get much sleep last night, one, because Kai kept snoring loudly, and two, he just felt troubled over something.
I wonder how the others are doing the earth ninja thought.
In New Ninjago City, all was in balance, the citizens were at peace with themselves and technology, and there has not been an invasion for decades. P.I.X.A.L overlooked the city, Zane was by her side, back in his original form, the couple faced each other and exchanged light smiles.
"So happy that we can finally share a moment and not get it interrupted," Zane stated.
"Indeed, it is pleasant to be together with no interruption," P.I.X.A.L replied. Ever since Cryptor's defeat, the two had grown as close as bee's to honey, nothing would seem to break them apart. Cyrus was quite dumfounded when he heard that all this time Zane was alive in his systems, it was a long explanation but P.I.X.A.L managed to finally make it sense to him. So now the two lived in the tower, making sure the whole land of Ninjago and its citizens were under their protection. There was peace for a long time.
P.I.X.A.L looked outside to see the sunset, her eyes twinkled in admiration, Zane saw the look in her eyes and smiled, "I remember the first time you saw that view."
"What?" P.I.X.A.L turned to face him, she was met with his gentle smile, "The first time you saw a sunset, with me, and I compared it to you, you do not remember it?" P.I.X.A.L reached the back of her head to respond, she then recalled that time, "Ah, yes, I do. But, I hope, this time, it wont be brought to an end by evil robots."
Zane seemed confused by what she meant but then began to make sense of it, "Oh, right. Yeah, lets hope that doesn't happen again." P.I.X.A.L chuckled and kissed him right on the cheek, making him blush, Zane put an arm around her and the two looked out to the beautiful horizon.
Back at the mountaintops, Nya was gazing out her window to see the sight, she remembered the first time she saw it, with her parents. It was a precious moment, she never wanted it to end, then she recalled the sad memory of her parents death, her smile faded and a tear escaped her eyes, why did it have to end like that? She wished her parents were still alive to see her now, a samurai, and a fighter, she wished they had a chance to see her with Jay, had a chance to live...sadly they didn't.
"Nya?" Jay came into the room, she heard a small sniffle coming from her, he became worried. "Nya, you ok?" Nya turned, her cheeks stained with tears. Jay came over and asked again, this time softer, "You alright?"
Nya wiped her tears, "Y-Yeah...I'm ok..." Jay frowned and sat beside her, "Tell me, whats wrong?"
She whimpered a little, then threw her arms around him, Jay was startled but soon did the same, he comfort her, "It's ok...its ok..."
"N-No...i-it's not," Nya winced, "Y-You...still have your parents..."
Jay paused at her words, he looked at her and frowned, now realizing what she meant. "I'm...so sorry...I should've remembered," he said weakly. Nya looked at him and sniffled, "D-Don't be...its not, your fault..." She cried softly in his arms, Jay rubbed her back in small circles, even though he didn't know what it was like without parents, he still felt the need to comfort his girlfriend. "Nya...listen, I know it can be hard to grow up without your peers...and I might not live long enough to feel what you are feeling now but, I know that, your parents would want you to move on, be happy in life, you can feel sad about them, but know this, they will always be, someplace in your heart, I promise you that," he spoke. Nya looked up at Jay, her eyes a little red from crying, she then nodded and smiled, "T-Thank you...Jay..."
"No problem," Jay replied, smiling weakly. Nya stayed in her boyfriends arms, staying there until she fell asleep, Jay smiled and carried her to bed, but just as he tucked her in, he heard a mass explosion coming from the east, he looked out his window, to see some smoke coming from far away. Thinking it was mining, he climbed into bed to sleep.
That explosion was no natural cause as he thought it was, instead, the cause was far much worse. The County Prison has been destroyed, and from the ashes came out a weak, full-sized, Anocandrai, who was out for full revenge.
