In a dark void a twelve year-old girl walked. She knew she had to look for someone, but didn't know nor why, just that a feeling deep inside telling that it was important.
Just then, a red light lit up in distance. It burned bright. Curious, the girl walked over but all of then the light turned into flames that shot towards her. She flinched, expecting contact. Her eyes shot open. She found herself in her room, panting panting.
Groaning, she got up and gotten up and felt a something cold and wet fell off her head. A washcloth. She must have gotten a fever again. She sighed and gotten ready.
After the girl finished she head down stairs, but as she smelled fried beacon and eggs she stopped. The girl stood in place for a bit before a hand placed itself on her blonde-straight hair. Her blue eyes turned, to see her dad behind her.
"Don't worry, Zoey." He said with a smile. "It's just heat from the stove. You mustten let your fear keep you from thing you have to do."
She grunted and brushed her father's hand of before mumbling "Yeah." while beaking eye-contact.
Just as Zoey was about to head farther down, but the voice of her mother's voice beaten her. "Come down down Honey? Your beakfest is done."
Zoey watched as her father existed the hallway still keeping the bean on his face. She then went to the edge of the entrance to of the kicthten and her head out a little.
"Come on Zoey?" Her mother said standing at the kicthen table.
Zoey paused a tad, looking side to side before she crept to the table and taking a seat.
"I've made your favorite eggs and beacon." Her stated as she placed the plate in front of her.
"Ah, thanks mom." She dug in.
"Good to see that your appetite's back Honey. You had your father and I worried when you went into another fever spells. You kept muttering something in your sleep."
Zoey stopped.
"We couldn't quite making it out."
She then gained bemused look.
Just then, her father spoke up and asked "Hey, since you're feeling better could you help your farther and getting some more paint from Giuseppe?"
She groaned. Not him again.
"I know you don't like the food Giusppe gives you dear, but he's only looking out for you."
More like poison her. She was about to talked back, but ceased.
"Please, Zoe-Zoe. The mayor needs the order." Her father begged.
"Oh my," Her mother interrupted with a concern tone. "For what, honey?" She asked.
"Don't know," Her farther answerd. "but I hear there's something big coming up. Something about a goblin army."
Zoey thought about just saying no despite her dad's pleading, but then she heard a voice of an old man saying to "never put-off until tomorrow what could be done today."
She sighed to herself, somehow knowing the voice spoke the truth. To her dismay, she answered "Fine. I 'll do it."
"You'll will? Ha ha, thanks Zoe-Zoe!" Her father said gaining a big grin. ""You're doing our family business good!"
She knew she wasn't going to like this.
Meanwhile, at the Destiny's Bounty, alarm sounds went off.
"What is it?" Cole asked Nya as he ran into control room where the samurai had Zane and Jay the communication screen.
"It's our old pals the shadow goblins. " Nya answered. "It looks like they're head towards Saturn Village."
"Wow, isn't that the place where we lost Kai?" Jay asked.
At that moment Cole picked up on Nya's face shifted to a sadden and tried expersion as she hung her head.
"Jay?" Cole questioned in a disbelief and anoyed tone.
"Oops, sorry Nya. Guess been a long time?"
"Nah, It's alright." The Samurai sighed. "Can't believe it has been twelve years already. Guess, time flies when you're saving all of Ninjago,."
"Kai would have been proud of Nya." Cole reassured her. "We all are."
"Really?" The young woman questioned. "Wow thanks."
"Hey-hey, don't go steeling my girlfriend again, Cole?" Jay asked though you can hear a hint of annoyance in his voice. "She my girl."
"Ha ha, don't worry Zaptrap. I 'am not going to make that mistake, again-no thank you."
"My boyfriend." Nya muttered in a sarcastic tone.
"Enough talk? How let's get to Saturn village?"
"By my calculations, it would take you and I two days to arrive, Jay. " Zane added in.
"Cole's going to have to go alone. We're the closist to them. He'll be there in no time. I'll stay on ship." Nya infromed before turning to Cole. "Ready, big guy?"
"You bet. But are you goning to okay?"
"Yeah. I may not be a ninja, but I still have a few tricks up my sleeve."
Back with Zoey, she made it too Giuseppe's back door. She could feel her stomach clenching. The girl sighed before walking in.
"Oh, hi Zoey." An old paint covered man greeted her from one of the room's entrance. "I heard what happened to you last night. Over done it again, right?"
"Yeah. I was helping out my dad move some clay, when I collapsed." She said as she sat herself at the table in the middle of the room.
"You really need to take it easy there? Your parents almost lost you once."
"Yeah, I know, that fire that went off in that building when I was a baby. My parents already told me it."
"Well then, how about trying out my newest creation, Tuna Salad Surprised?"
She sighed again. "If it's alright with you Giuseppe, I'll pass."
"Nonesense, a growing girl needs to eat and with you getting sick all the time, you'll need all the strength you can get."
She sighed once more in defeat after the old man went out of the room. This was feeling like dejevu.
When Giuseppe came back, he brought a bowl, a glass of water, and a spoon. "Now," the old man said as he place the bowl, the glass, and spoon infront of the girl. "Eat up. There's more where that came from.
The Tuna Salad was... different to put it lightly-actually it look like bird poop on the side walk. Zoey look over to the old man then back at the 'food.' With no way out she grabbed the spoon and scooped up some and ate it.
Her face contorted as the taste of sourcream and cantaloupe. Taking alot her will power not to spill the contents out she grabbed the glass of water and drank it to say that was that not enjoyable.
"So, how do you like it?" He questioned with a begging face.
As much as Zoey really wanted to tell Giuseppe the truth with a burning pasionp, the sound of an explosion went off.
"What was that?" The old man questioned.
The two went outside to see smoke in a distance.
The girl couldn't wait. Fearing for parents safety she dashed off.
"Zoey?" Giuseppe called, however it didn't stop her. She kept going.
The girl made it closer to home when she stopped at the sight of of dark demon like ceatrues that apeared as if they came from hell, srounded the area.
"Leave no person?" Commanded one of the demons. It seemed like it was the head-Honcho of the group. "We still need them unfrozen."
All of the sudden, Zoey saw her parents we in view. Carried by two of the hell-spawns.
Zoey gritted her teeth and made a slight growl. She looked around. There got to be something she could do? She spottd and picked up a metal pole.
"This will do." Zoey said to herself before weilding the pole like a sword and charging for the monsters without a second thought.
She swung her wepon, but her target caught it. It then grabbed her arm and tossed it and her to a wall.
"You're pretty fiesty there girl." The target stated as it walked closer to her. "Such a shame we have to stop that."
"Suck her in a black hole!" One of the other demons uttered.
All Zoey could do was glare at the demon as it let out a roar followed by cold breath. The girl flinched as the attack hit. However, it did nothing.
Shock entched on its dark face, the attacker took a few steps back.
Zoey too, was in shock.
Just then, something sounded like it broke off. The girl and the hell creature peered up. Buring debris fallen in the middle of the two.
The girl jumped back before running off.
Just outside of the village, Cole headed towards it in thr form of a gaint lizard- rock dragon. Once there, he shifted to his human form and stated Turing on communicator. "It looks like I 'am too late,the Shadow goblins already came passed here."
"Maybe not?" He head Nya telling him through a comntication device in his ears "The scanners picked up a few Goblins still hanging around."
"On it." He stated in confendent voice before turning off the communication device.
Just then, Cole heard something large falling that came from a distance away. He turned back to his dragon form and headed towards the origin of the sound.
Zoey rushed. She struggling to get away. Her pounded and her breathing was rappid as a machine gun. All of the sudden her view bacme blurry and her movements slowed, but kept her rappid breathing. However, she pushed herself farther. At this point, she didn't care, she needed to get away.
As the girl did, she her world gone in it out form reality and to another place that too, was on fire. It felt familiar, but then her body was too hot to continue. Collapsing to the ground, all Zoey could was being helpless a new born animal.
"Found her." She heard a demon calling out.
She passed out, leaving her honestly, like a sitting duck.
"Good work." Said a shadow monster as they head towards the girl.
Just then Cole flown infront of Zoey, using his body as a wall dividing the two. He lunged an attack at the goblins, using a stream of Earth. He then picked the unconscious girl up with his mouth and flown them away.
