So, I'm going to start this story. I've it gets enough attention, it might become a series. This story is based off of some of the fan art I've seen of the ninja evil. Google it and see. This chapter, I wanted to start off a little different. So, the end of the chapter is first, then the explanations come after to what happens. I hope you enjoy and Follow, Favorite and Review if you want more.

"What do you mean he's gone!" Kai shouted.

"I mean he's gone, stupid!" Lloyd yelled.

"Who was watching him?!" Kai cried.

"Cole was," Nya told her brother, more calmly than Lloyd. "And he's missing too. We'll find them and stop him, Kai. We'll get our brother's back."

"We better," Kai said. "I mean, just being down one brother has torn us apart a couple times. What will happen if we're down two?"

"Look, Zane's scanning Ninjago for any and all elemental power signals as we speak," Ali said, her arms around Lloyd. "When someone uses their powers, we'll be alerted. We'll find them, Kai."

Kai nodded. He turned and walked out of the bridge. Lloyd felt safe with Ali, feeling apart from his powers and off from it. He watched Zane as he typed away on the computer, looking up at the screen for answers.

"Clearly he's smarter than that," Zane sighed. "There hasn't been an element used since we fought him to lock him up. They're nowhere to be found."

"Well, what can we do?" Lloyd asked. "Both their communicators are here so we can't track them."

"Well, does anyone have any other ideas?" Zane asked, turning to look at them all.

"I can't think of any," Lloyd sighed.

"I wish he never opened that package," Nya muttered. "I should have taken it to Sensei before giving it to him. This is all my fault."

"No it's not, Nya," Ali said, hugging her. "We're all at fault for leaving Cole alone with him. We'll get them back one way or another. I'm sure."

Three hours before his great escape with Cole. two hours before the other ninja defeated him for the first time and locked him away. One hour before they even noticed. The moment he received the package of trouble. Everything was calm, and he sat in the gaming room in Temple of Airjitzu by himself, trying to beat Kai's record to annoy him.

"Come on," he said. "Almost got it."

Then a miniature explosion appeared on the screen, shortly followed by a game over.

"Dang it!" he cried. "Ten points away. If I got one more hit, I would have it!'

"Ten more points," Nya laughed. "The same ten points you failed to get last time. And the time before that, and the one before that."

"I know, I know," he replied. He put the control down, getting up off the floor where he sat. "I get it. Ten points away and I lose. How does he do it?"

"I don't know, Jay," Nya shrugged, placing a package on the coffee table. "Why don't you ask him yourself. I think he's out on the Bounty with Zane."

"Why?" Jay asked.

"Meh," Nya shrugged. "I think they're just cleaning. I mean, it's been almost a month since we've used her."

"True," Jay said. "So, what's in the box?"

"Don't know," Nya said. "It was left on the doorstep and it's addressed to you."

Jay picked up the box, looking at it curiously.

"There's no return address," Jay noted. "Are you sure we shouldn't show Sensei first? It's could be dangerous."

"Well, if you want to both him while he's meditating, go ahead," Nya said. "I've got to go make lunch."

Jay looked at the package.

"I don't know, Nya," he said.

Then he stopped, realizing she had already left. He sighed, looking at the package. He pulled out his pocket knife and cut the tape to open it. He rummaged through the box filled with tissue paper and bubble wrap until he felt something. He grabbed it, pulling out a chain with a glowing, red crystal attached to the end. Jay looked at it.

"Hey man," Cole said, causing him to jump. "What'cha doing?"

"Apparently someone ordered me a necklace," Jay replied, showing it to Cole.

Jay laid in in his hands, the large chain hanging over the edges of his hand with the crystal right in the center.

"Did you show Sensei?" Cole asked.

"He's meditating," Jay replied. "Nya gave it to me, so she would have tried to show him. He must have thought it was nothing and told her to give it to me."

"Try it on," Cole said. "Let's see how it looks on you."

"It's red, though," Jay said.

"Just try," Cole insisted.

Jay shrugged, thinking what could possibly happen. He slid the necklace with it's long chain over his head and let it sit around his neck. The crystal sat in his hand.

"Let me get a good look," Cole said, taking a couple steps back.

Jay looked up, letting the crystal fall from his hand and hit his chest. Then Jay gasped, collapsing to his knees. Cole immediately rushed to his side.

"Jay!" he cried. "What happened? Speak to me, buddy."

Cole looked at Jay's face, seeing it full of concentration and focus. His breathing leveled and Cole was about to try to speak again when Jay's hand shot out, grabbing Cole around the neck. Cole gagged, choking from Jay's tightly grasp. Jay turned to Cole, and Cole saw Jay's eyes were now a bright red, like the crystal.

"Cole? Jay? Where are you guys?" Lloyd cried from down the hall.

"You better not be beating my high score in Fist to Face 2," Kai added.

They rounded the corner, seeing Jay holding Cole by the throat. Cole clawed at Jay hand, looking for the other's help. Kai and Lloyd both took fighting positions.

"Jay, whatever he did, put him down," Lloyd said. "I'm sure we can settle this without violence."

Kai took a couple steps towards Jay and Cole. Cole looked from Jay to Kai and Lloyd, trying to comprehend what was happening.

"Stay back!" Jay snapped at Kai.

Kai froze in his tracks. He looked back at Lloyd, who watched from the doorway.

"Jay, just put Cole down and no one gets hurt," Kai said calmly.

Jay didn't listen. Instead, his grip on Cole tightened. Cole gasped for air, choking noises coming from his mouth as he tried to breath.

"Jay! I said let him go!' Kai shouted.

"Yeah, and I'm not listening," Jay replied.

Kai was angry. He jumped at Jay. Jay was ready and shot a bolt of lightning at Kai. It hit him head on and sent him back into the wall. Lloyd fired a ball of energy at Jay, who used Cole to block the shot. Cole took the hit, knocking what air was in his lungs out. Then Jay spun him around and sent him flying into Lloyd. Both boys flew into the hallway, into the wall and down to the floor in pain. Cole coughed repeatedly, trying to breath.

"Jay, what's happened to you?" Kai asked.

Jay's head snapped towards Kai, who backed against the wall. Kai looked for an escape route while Jay approached him.

"Um, guys," Kai called. "A little help."

No response. Kai looked to Jay, terrified.

"Jay, please," Kai pleaded. "Don't do it. This isn't you. Snap out of it."

Jay grabbed Kai and threw him across the room. Kai smashed into the TV, grabbing everyone's attention as he fell to the floor, the TV landing on top of him. Kai was out cold, his eyes firmly closed. Lloyd now stood in the doorway, looking at Kai, then Jay.

"You're turn," Jay smirked.

Lloyd stumbled backwards, shocked. Jay wanted to fight. Something is wrong with him. Jay took a step, then lunged at Lloyd. Lloyd jumped to his right, avoiding Jay. Jay then swung a fist, sending Lloyd flying into the wall from the impact.

"Surrender, Lloyd," Jay growled. "And I'll leave the others alone."

"What is wrong with you?!" Lloyd shouted.

Lloyd tried to climbed to his feet, but Jay pushed him back down. Jay sat, a knee in Lloyd's stomach as he held Lloyd down. Lloyd struggled for freedom. He heard Nya, Zane and Ali's footsteps racing towards them. Then Lloyd felt the cold of the crystal as it tapped his chin. He gasped, feeling his energy, his powers, leaving him and entering the crystal. Jay climbed off Lloyd, who laid limp on the floor.

"Jay! What are you doing!" Nya cried.

Lloyd looked up and Jay spun around. Zane, Nya and Ali stood in the doorway. Jay glared. He lifted up Lloyd, who was too weak to fend for himself at the moment. Jay threw him at the window, which shattered as Lloyd was flung through it. Lloyd screamed, landing hard on the ground outside, finally stopping after several feet of sliding. Jay jumped out after him, turning back.

"I'll go get Sensei," Nya said, sprinting off to Sensei's room.

Ali and Zane ran, jumping out the window after Lloyd and Jay. Jay fired a lightning bolt at them. Then slid out of the way, taking a fighting stance.

"What do we do?' Ali asked Zane.

"We have to stop him from getting away from here," Zane replied.

Ali looked to Lloyd, who had given in and passed out on the ground. She was now angry beyond belief. She shot a blast of energy at Jay, who ducked under it and countered with a bolt of lightning. Zane then froze Jay's feet to the ground.

"That should hold him," Zane said.

"Just to be sure," Ali walked over to him.

Ali looked Jay in the eyes and, using the power of mind, put him to sleep.

"Quick, take him and lock him up," Ali told Zane. "I'll check on the others."

Nya rushed out with Sensei and Misako close behind. Nya ran to Zane to help move Jay to a cell inside. Ali sat beside Lloyd, holding his head in her arms.

"Lloyd, wake up," she begged.

"Ali, bring him inside," Misako whispered. "He's exhausted and might be out for a while."

Ali nodded.

"Where are Cole and Kai?" Sensei asked.

"In the gaming room," Ali replied. "I'll get Lloyd to be then help Kai. Cole's injured so go check on him."

Sensei nodded, running inside. Misako walked with Ali towards her shared room with Lloyd. They walked in and laid Lloyd on the large bed he and Ali shared. They were married so it made sense that they slept together.

"Go help Sensei," Misako said. "I'll watch over him."

Ali nodded, rushing out. Once everyone was taken care of, Cole was fine, but Kai and Lloyd were both out cold. While Nya, Zane and Ali helped to care for Kai and Lloyd, Cole watched over Jay. Jay was locked up as far as everyone knew. Then when Ali went to change Cole out so he could rest, they were gone. All because of a simple package now one bothered to check with Sensei for mysterious content.
