A/N: This is my first fanfic so go easy on me. Also no flames, but constructive criticism is ok as well as ideas. Please read and review. This was before "Rebooted". I DON'T OWN NINJAGO!

The sky was as dark as night. Piece by piece the city was being turned evil. Screams, from people not yet under the power of darkness, filled the streets. No one could escape the wrath of the Overlord; his true form had become to powerful for anyone to beat. Stone Army soldiers crowded the streets, gathering people to be turned evil. Rocks, dirt and other debris were littered everywhere.

Someone in a tattered red outfit stood an a nearby turned over and wrecked car. Judging from the condition of his clothes, he had battled stone warriors before. "Let those people go!" he yelled when he they had seen him.

"Ninja!" Yelled the stone warrior, who appeared to be in charge. "Get him! If he's here, then the other three can't be far behind!"

After he said that, three other figures appeared on the other sides of the street. On the left of the ninja stood a black suited one, to the right, a blue one and across the street was a grayish-whitish ninja. All of their outfits were almost as tattered and torn as the first's.

"NINJAGO!" They all yelled in unison as a tornado surrounded each of them.

This fight was like many that had happened over their time as ninja. They had taken out stone soldier after stone soldier but, they kept on rising again. After taking them out a few more times the soldiers ran off, leaving their leader behind.

"Cowards!" He yelled after them as they ran. The turned to the ninja. "Your little green friend was too weak to stop the Overlord, and look what happened. (low laugh) What makes you think that you can?" He smirked as he talked about the Green Ninja, who was killed by the Overlord about 4 years ago.

"Don't you dare talk about our brother like that!" the red ninja yelled, getting ready to run up and punch the stone soldier in the face. The others held him back.

The soldier got up and started running, but, being evil, turned around to say one last thing. "You ninja won't be able to escape the Overlord's power so easily next time! That boy isn't with you now!" He ran off laughing evilly. When the warrior was out of sight the three ninja let the red one go, he turned around.

"What's the big deal I could have got him!" He glared at his companions. "You heard what that piece of rock said about Lloyd!"

"Yes, but that would not have been very wise," the grayish ninja replied, "your hand would have gotten hurt worse than its face of stone."

"Zane is right Kai, you remember what happened the last time you punched a stone solider?" the black ninja said.

"Yeah, I got it to break in half." the ninja named Kai replied, smirking a bit at the memory.

"He needed stitches if I recall the incident correctly." the grayish ninja named Zane replied.

Kai looked down at his hands, which had black gloves similar to the ones the other ninja had on. "No Cole, I haven't forgotten." he replied to the black ninja.

"Excuse me guys, I don't mean to interrupt the trip down memory lane but, we should get back before Nya and the others get worried." the blue ninja said.

The black ninja named Cole spoke next, "Jay is right, let's get back to the Bounty."

They all left as fast as they had come. Leaving the street more quiet than seemed possible. The only sounds left were the wind blowing through the leave less trees and tossing trash around: and the distant screams that echoed throughout the city.

A/N: Please review and if you have any questions please ask. ( unless its mean in which case you can keep it to your self) :)
