(Note: all the ninjas will be 15, Nya is a few months younger and Lloyd is still a kid)
The ninjas were training out on the bounty and Lloyd was going to ask his uncle for a new practice sword when he 'accidentally' broke it. "Hey uncle I need a new sword." Says Lloyd as he enters the room. Sensei Wu had his back turned to the door. "Uncle Wu?" Lloyd asks going around him.
Sensei Wu was holding a picture frame. "Oh Lloyd I did not hear you enter." says the sensei, still holding the frame. The frame had a picture of him and a little girl about age 7 standing next to him. Lloyd spotted the frame and sighed a little.
"You miss her don't you uncle?" says Lloyd putting down the weapon. He sat down next to his uncle staring at the photo. "I do not know what you are talking about." he says to his nephew still looking at the photo sad. "When was the last time you spoke to her uncle?" asked Lloyd looking at his uncle.
Sensei Wu remained silent. He had never seen her since she was nine and they both knew it. "Uncle you haven't seen her since she was nine. She's fifteen now isn't about time you visited her?" asked Lloyd. "Lloyd, do you remember the legend about the green ninja?" asked the sensei. Lloyd nodded unsure where this was going. "There is another." Lloyd looked confused. "Another what?" he asked.
He knew he was the green ninja after Kai got his true potential but he had no idea what the 'another' was. "There is a part of the legend which was not mentioned. Another ninja is destined to defeat the ultimate evil alongside the green ninja." He explains.
"What does that have to do with her?" asks Lloyd. "The second ninja whose power is what you shall achieve is the dawn ninja." Lloyd widened his eyes finally realizing what he meant. Sensei Wu stood up and put down the frame on a nearby counter. "Lloyd I will be going out for a while tell the ninjas I will be back in a few hours." says the sensei taking his signature bamboo stick and straightening his hat. Lloyd nodded understanding where his uncle was going.
Lloyd exits the room first the broken weapon forgotten. He ran to the four ninjas who were sparring. "Hey Lloyd did you get the sword fixed?" asked Kai. He was at the side watching Jay and Cole battle. Lloyd realized he had forgotten about the sword. Jay and Cole stopped sparring and were staring at him. Zane looked up from his falcon to Lloyd. "Sensei said he was going out for a while and wouldn't be back for a few hours" says Lloyd changing the subject. If he knew the four well enough they would be curious about why he left and would forget about the sword.
"Why the last minute trip?" asked Cole. Nya who just entered the training course heard Cole say trip. "What trip?" she asked. "Sensei is going on a trip and wouldn't be back for a few hours and we don't know why." says Jay. Everyone stared at Lloyd knowing he was the last one to talk to the sensei.
"It's a surprise." he says wanting to surprise the group. The ninjas and Nya did not accept the answer and began listing down all the possibilities of the trip.
Sensei Wu walked across a forest. He looked around and saw smoke rising from the other part of the forest.
A girl sat on the floor of a wooden house. She had black hair reaching her shoulders, dark brown eyes and was wearing an orange and yellow GI. She meditated in front of a mat which had a candle, a glass of water and a rock on it.
The fireplace behind her cracked, the kettle boiling water bubbling. As she meditated the candle flame grew bigger, the water turned to ice, the rock started to crack and a small thunder cloud formed lightning coming down. The door creaks behind her as Sensei Wu enters the small house.
The girl does not react as Wu puts down his staff as approaches her. "I see you have changed." He says as he approaches her. She stops meditating and blows out the candle. "That happens when you do not visit for six years." She replies slightly angry and yet still calm. The girl stands and takes the kettle pouring tea into two cups.
"But I see that you still care enough to share a cup of tea." says Wu taking the cup sipping it. "So why are you here?" she asks sipping the tea. "It is time for the dawn ninja to appear" said Wu. "Is this why you left me?" she asks putting down the cup. "That is for another time young one now you should get ready" answers Wu pointing to the ninja suit.
"You want me to go in as a ninja?" she asked a bit curious. It had been a while since she wore the suit but she maintained it and made sure she could still wear it in case of an emergency. "The others will be in for a surprise." He answers sneakily leaving the girl to shake her head as she headed into a separate room to change.
Back at the bounty, Nya was working on her samurai suit and the boys were sparring and still discussing why sensei Wu would leave on a last minute trip. Right now Zane and Jay were sparring while Kai, Lloyd and Cole watched. "I don't think sensei went to go find some hidden underground civilization of ninjas Jay." says Cole. Lloyd still managed to keep quiet on why he left and when they asked he would make up an excuse. "Well what makes you think he left?" asks Jays and he dodges a punch and attempts to kick the nindroid.
"Why don't you turn around and see?" says a voice behind them. Everyone except Lloyd jumped at the sound of sensei's voice. When they turned around they saw a ninja standing next to him. The ninja's suit was a mix of yellow and orange and looked like a sunrise. "I would like you to meet the dawn ninja" says sensei gesturing to the ninja. The dawn ninja bows as a greeting and remains silent.
"What kind of ninja is the dawn ninja?" asked Jay. "Why don't you see for yourself?" says the sensei as the dawn ninja goes into a fighting stance. Lloyd runs next to Nya as the other ninjas pull up their hoods and prepare to fight. Sensei Wu steps away as the dawn ninja charged forward and jumped above the ninjas.
The moment the dawn ninja landed the other four started using their spinjitzu and tried to knock down the dawn ninja. The dawn ninja grabs Kai's arm and uses him as a weapon. The ninja started spinning Kai and launched him at the others. They collided in a dog pile as the ninja starts using spinjitzu. "This dude knows spinjitzu too?" asks Jay shocked. Lloyd tries not to laugh and Sensei just stares while Nya cheered on the four boys.
The dawn ninja spun towards the pile of boys and knocks them apart. "Guys let's hit him from all sides!" shouts Cole as he gets up and charges for the dawn ninja. The others follow until ice starts forming under their feet causing them to slip and fall missing the dawn colored ninja. "Zane!" shouts Kai as he gets up. "That was not me" states the nindroid getting up. Using their confusion as a distraction the dawn ninja draws a sword and shoots lighting threw it.
The boys manage to dodge the shot and are even more confused. "Jay why did you just shoot lightning at us?" asks Cole angry. "I didn't do anything!" shouts Jay back. "Guys look!" shouts Kai as the sword is now on fire and is coming swinging towards them. The boys manage to move out of the way but barely. The dawn ninja keeps the sword and starts charging towards Kai and Cole. Kai ducks and tries to kick the other ninja's feet but misses and gets a hit to the face knocking him out.
Cole attempts a punch but gets a kick to the stomach but he doesn't go down. Zane and Jay join the fight attempting to punch the ninja at the same time but fail as the dawn ninja grabs Cole's arm when he attempts another punch and throws him at them. The three ninjas go down but Kai gets up and attempts an attack from behind but the dawn ninja punches him before he was even close.
"Should we stop them from getting killed?" asked Lloyd knowing that the fight was not going to be long. "I think the fight is over" states Nya as the dawn ninja is surrounded by the other four ninjas all on the floor groaning. Lloyd starts laughing uncontrollably and the ninjas notice. The dawn ninja goes towards sensei Wu while the four boys pulled off their hoods and start to surround Lloyd. "What are you laughing about?" asks Kai angry that the four of them got beaten by one ninja.
"You guys just got beaten by-" "-a girl" finished the dawn ninja pulling off the hood to reveal a girl with dark brown eyes and black shoulder length hair. Kai and Cole were open mouthed, Zane had no reaction and Jay was in disbelief. "We got beaten by a girl!" he shouts to no one. The girl giggles a little. "My name's Dawn" she says extending her hand. "Hi Dawn. I'm Nya" replies Nya shaking her hand.
"I'm Kai the ninja of fire" says Kai trying to act cool. Dawn giggles at his attempt. "I'm Cole the ninja of earth" says Cole trying to look cool too. "I'm Jay" introduces said person. "My name is Zane I am what my brothers call me a nindroid" says Zane. "Nindroid?" asks Dawn curiously. "Ninja android" translates Nya. "I'm guessing you already know Lloyd since he knew who was under the mask" says Nya.
"Let us continue this in the kitchen" says sensei Wu. Kai jumps ahead at showing Dawn where the kitchen is leaving Cole grumbling about his luck.
