Hi, guys!

So, this is the first book of my OCs' stories, which I am calling The New Prophecy. There's a reason for that title, and you'll see why later on.

Now, for those of you who have read my story Zane's Fate, you will know that I said that I would get started on that shortly after the last chapter came out. Well, I waited too long to start uploading chapters, and my laptop crashed, taking with it the three long chapters that I had already written. :( So, that's why this is about three months late.

Disclaimer: I do not own Ninjago, just my OCs.

Prologue

Police Officer Aiden Downs stormed into the office of the head of Ninjago City's Police Department, his eyes blazing with fury as he slammed a folder onto the desk.

"She's gone ahead and done it again!" He all but snarled heatedly. The head, Chance Brown, turned around in her swivel chair, looking up curiously at him.

"What do you mean, Aiden?" she asked as she reached for the folder and opened it. He flopped down into a chair.

"We can't keep up with her," he snapped. "She's just too fast and too smart. She avoids the dogs like they're not even chasing after her, she gets around Ninjago City so fast like she's not even human, and she knows exactly where we lay our traps that we might as well not even have them!"

"Calm down," Brown told one of her senior officers. "I'm sure we'll find a way soon to put her behind bars, despite the fact that she's only ten." Downs snorted.

"Sure," he said, heavy sarcasm dripping from his voice. "Like we're mindreaders and we know exactly where her hideout it." Brown looked at him overtop of the folder before continuing reading the newest report.

"She's getting bold," she noted. "Getting away with a piece of art that costs one thousand five hundred dollars and selling it? Takes guts."

"You're not siding with that little thief, are you?" Downs demanded, his light brown eyes flaring up once more with anger.

"Of course not," Brown snapped. She closed the folder and set it down on her organized desk, sighing. "Here's what we'll do: From now on we'll remain undercover until we can pinpoint her hideout. Once we know that, we'll sneak in and wait for her to return, then seal off all escape routes once she's in. After that, it's a piece of cake."

"I think there's a slight problem with that," Downs said, leaning back in his chair. "She seems to know if we're there, and sneaks out with us realizing it until she's long gone."

"Then what do you suggest? Hand out free lollipops until she comes up to get one and then arrest her right then and there?" Brown challenged him, and he shrugged.

"Either way, I'm requesting permission to put together a team to see if we can find her."

Brown looked up at him from the folder, met his gaze squarely, and said, "Permission granted. And don't fail like Julius."

Meanwhile, a ten-year-old girl snuck quietly back into her hideout, pushing the hood of her jacket down and then pulled out her honey blond braid. In a satchel that she wore were multiple bundles of one hundred dollar bills. As her hand strayed into it, she grinned widely. The police could never catch her...and they never would.

Short prologue, but most of mine are like that anyways.

For those of you who know which one of my OCs has a braid like that, yes, it is her. It's just that for my stories she's the "senior ninja," I guess you could call her, so it kinda makes sense to have her story be first.

Other than that, I think that that's it. But, warning, updates will more than likely be spaced out, so please be patient with me if I do not update every two weeks or so, but I have a schedule that barely leaves any time for me to write this kind of stuff, so once again, please be patient.

Oh, and another thing: reviews. No flames is all I ask, and reviews=motivation to write. So, yeah.

This is Gray, and until next time, I'm out.
