Hunted

Discaimer: Jeanette is mine!

XxXxXxXx

Jeanette picked her way through a pile of drabs in front of her. Picking up a board, she paused. "I thought this was lost." She breathed, bending down and picking up a picture. The picture is of herself, Lloyd, and Alizeh. A few tears rolled down her cheeks as she tried to swallow the lump in her throat. Her Ninja suit was ripped just like Cole's.

Kai walked up to her and placed a gently hand on her shoulder, before sitting next to her, she wiped her eyes.

"We'll find a way home Jen." He told her gently. "You'll get to see them again. I promise!" He pulled her to him for a hug.

"How?" She whispered. "We don't know anything about this Realm, and Master Wu doesn't have his memories."

"I, I don't know." He admitted. "But we will find our way home! I promise." He said firmly.

Jeanette looked down at her wedding ring, admiring it fondly. "He was telling me the truth, when he said he never kissed Harumi." She let her tears fall again, she looked away. "I hope Lloyd knows that I still." She trailed off.

"He does!" Kai said firmly. "You said you guys are back to normal." He sighed. "Now come on." He pulled away to stand up. "We gotta continue to find some foil." He held out his hand for her, when she took it, he pulled her up.

"Thanks Kai." She smiled.

"Anytime Jen. That's what I'm here for!" He smiled.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXx

"FOIL!" Kai's voice screamed out an hour later. "WE HAVE FOILLLLL!"

The team ran over to him.

Zane worked on putting the foil on the antenna. "Ok, let's see if it works." He said, adjusting it a little.

Kai walked up to the radio.

"Say we're lucky enough to reach anyone in Ninjago." Cole said. "Is there even a home to go back too?"

"One way to find out." Kai said, reaching for the button on the radio. "Here goes nothing." He turned it on.

Nothing. Not even static.

"It sounds like nothing." Zane said.

Kai yelled out in frustration. "We're never getting home!" He turned away.

Jeanette bit her lip and turned her back on the boys, wrapping her arms around herself.

"So it doesn't work." Jay said in a laid back voice. "I've been telling you guys, I've been feeling so much better, now that I accepted our situation."

Kai gave him a look, before walking away.

"This is our new home." Jay finished.

"You don't sound yourself Jay." Cole said, raising an eyebrow.

"I'm just sayin, you don't have to freak out about it." Jay said.

"You freak out all the time!" Jeanette said as she walked up to stand in front of Jay. "Are you feeling ok?" She reached out and touched his forehead.

"It could be worse." Jay continued, as Jeanette pulled her hand back, and Kai walked up to him.

"Worse?!" The red Ninja repeated. "A strange tea lady just marooned us in the Realm Of Oni and Dragon! A realm mind you, we know nothing about! Of no hope of getting home! And no clue as to what else is out there!"

"Kai has a very strong and pointy point." Jeanette agreed, bobbing her head.

"Ahh." Jay said backing away from Kai. "Oni and Dragons. Duh!"

"I don't like this new Jay." Jeanette said. "What happened to the old Jay?" She turned to look at both Cole, and Zane.

"Sure Jay, we've all seen dragons, but aren't you the least bit concerned about coming across an Oni? I mean we hardly know anything about them." Cole said.

"Insept for they like to destroy." Zane reminded. "And Master Wu is part Oni."

"And so is Lloyd." Jeanette added, just saying his name was hard, and she swallowed thickly. "Well he's half Oni."

"I'm hungry!" The voice had the Ninja turn to see a small boy, sitting by the fire that they had made.

Cole and Jeanette started to walk over to the child. "Sorry Master, but I thought I told you, we're rashing our food." Cole told him gently.

Jeanette sat down next to the little boy. "We have to save what little we can." She added, gently in her motherly voice.

The boy didn't respond to either, and the two Ninja looked at each other with worry, before looking at the blonde child.

"Master Wu?" Cole asked.

The boy had been looking around, then looked at Cole. "I'm hungry!"

"Hey, hey! You don't speak to us in that tone, young man!" Jeanette told Wu, in her continued mother tone.

Jay started to laugh. "Man!"

Kai was quick by his side. "You not freaking out! Is freaking me out!"

"Kai baby, its much easier coping with life's problems, when you let go of hope." Jay jumped onto the plank, and slid down. "Woo hoo!"

Jeanette stood up, and punched the air, sending a blast of wind into Jay's face, knocking him backwards. "Stop it Jay! Just stop it!" She snapped. "We're in danger, our home is in danger! And all you can do is pretend that everything's fine!? What's the matter with you!?"

"Jeanette, Jeanette." Jay said as he sat up. "We need to control our emotions."

"Uh oh." Kai said with worry.

"Shit." Cole cursed.

"Not good." Zane shook his head.

"CONTROL OUR EMOTIONS!?" Jeanette screamed, ready to launch. "How about controlling this!?" She launched herself at the lightning Ninja.

Cole was fast to intervine, catching Jeanette over his shoulder while she was in the air. "Ok, that's all folks." He said. "We need to keep our heads on."

Jeanette folded her arms across Cole's back. "He's totally lost it!"

"Nope." Jay said as he leaned against a punching bag, near the fire. "I totally found it."

Jeanette tried to pull herself free of Cole. "Say something else Jay Walker, I dare you!" She threatened.

"Why don't we go find some food?" Cole offered hurriedly, trying to keep Jeanette over his shoulder. "Come on Master." He patted Wu on the arm.

"I don't wanna."

"Now Master. Don't put off till tomorrow, that can be done today!" Cole told him.

"Pfft!" Jay laughed. "That's rich, now we're giving him lessons, he taught us!"

"That's it!" Jeanette broke free of Cole's hold, and ran at Jay, who cried out and ran.

"HELLLLLLP!" He screamed, taking off. Jeanette hot on his heels.

XxXxXxXxXxXx

Jeanette was sitting on the sandy ground, looking at the picture of Lloyd and Aliezh.

"There she is!" Wu's excited voice, had Jeanette look up from the picture. Wu came running over to her with a smile, with Cole behind him.

"Hey there you are!" Cole smiled. "We wondered if you out smarted Jay, or got lost trying to deck him."

She shrugged. "I guess it was both." She looked back at her picture.

Cole walked over and sat down next to her. "We're gonna find a way home."

"We're all lost, not just me." She wiped a tear off her cheek, and Cole gently patted her back.

"We're looking for some food." Wu told her. "Will you help us?" He asked hopefully, and she smiled at him.

"Yes."

"Nice save, young Master." Cole grinned.

XxXxXxXxXxXx

The three started their search for food. "It feels like we've been walking forever!" Wu complained.

"Yeah well, Ninja never quit." Cole told him, he looked to Jeanette. "Be thankful that Aliezh."- He quickly trailed off, and he could've kicked himself, watching as Jeanette gave him a look, before running off. "Nice goin Brookstone." He growled at himself.

Hearing a noise, Wu and Cole hurried over to Jeanette's side, as she was hiding under some thick brush. Cole moved the brush aside just in time to see a baby dragon walking up to some food.

"It's ok." Cole told Wu. "I use to be scared of them too." He turned to smile at the dragon. "But dragons are our friends."

"Uh Cole, about that." Jeanette trailed off as he started down towards the dragon.

"Hi little fella!" Cole smiled as he made his way towards the dragon, and gaining it's attention as he got close. "Watcha eating?" He asked, walking closer. "Mmmm, looks delishous!"

"Cole, if you don't get out of there, you're gonna be food!" Jeanette yelled at him, and the dragon growled at the earth Ninja, who held up his hands.

"Whoa, whoa, it's ok." He said, bending down to pick up the fruit, that the dragon was going to eat. "We just wanna share!"

Suddenly they heard footsteps, and felt the footsteps. They looked around and gasped.

"COLE, GET OUT OF THERE!" Jeanette screamed, just before the bigger dragon roared at him, and Wu gasped quickly hugging Jeanette's waist.

Cole fell backwards towards them, just before the dragon shot out a bolt of electrisity.

"It's a lightning dragon!" Wu cried, as the three ran.

"I can see that!" Cole yelled as they ran.

"Where's Jay to redirect that lightning dragon!?" Jeanette cried as they ran in no direction, as the dragon chased after them.

"You were ready to throw him into the fire!" Cole reminded.

"You said they were our friends!" Wu cried as the three ran.

"I was wrong! They're mean! Keep running!" Cole cried.

"Only in our world, they're nice!" Jeanette gave Cole a glare as they ran. "Nice going Cole, you ticked off daddy!" She pointed to the lightning dragon.

"Well, excuse me for trying to make nice!" Cole yelled back, before they ended up sliding into a ditch. The three turned back around to look up.

The lightning dragon jumped over them, and started to fly. "They're a lot bigger then I remember too!" Cole said. Suddenly the smaller dragon jumped towards them, the three screamed out as they fell backwards.

"RUN!" Cole cried, before they scrambled to their feet and raced off.

"We're dead for sure this time!" Jeanette cried as they ran. "What Garmadon couldn't do, these dragons will!"

"We'll take cover!" Cole said, and he saw what looked like a cave. "In there!"

The three ran for it, and Cole shot a blast of earth at the top. "Jump!" He yelled, pushing Jeanette into the cave, followed by Wu, and closely by Cole.

Inside the cave, the three picked themselves up as the entrance was now barricaded with rubble. "That was a learning experience." Cole said as he and Jeanette looked at the barricade.

"What is this?" Wu's question had the two Ninja turn and walk over to him.

"Whoa, it looks like we're not the only ones in this realm." Cole said as they looked at a carving at the back of the cave.

"We need to warn the others." Jeanette said with worry.
