Hi everyone, this is my first fanfic on this site and I think my second story I've ever written and I think it's pretty good.

This chapter is a bit short and boring but I don't know what else to add to it but I have written two more chapters and I promise they're more interesting!

Thanks, hope you guys enjoy!


Chapter 1: The Aftermath

Three months.

It has been three months since a dear brother and friend of the Ninja sacrificed himself to defeat the Overlord once and for all. The ninja who sacrificed himself was Zane. Ninjago has been peaceful ever since the Overlord's defeat but, of course, with the occasional criminal trying to make a quick buck. The passing of Zane really made the ninja feel depressed and sad.

Over on the Destiny's Bounty 2.0, Kai, the fire ninja, was playing video games. He was all alone when usually he would play with his brothers, but they weren't really feeling up to it.

Wow, Kai thought. Everybody is really feeling down ever since Zane left us. We should at leas try to do something fun. Kai put down his controller and turned the screen off. Then he left and went to the main deck to see if Jay, Cole, or Lloyd were training. He sighed. They weren't on the main deck. Then Kai went to the kitchen and found the other three ninja sitting there doing nothing. Cole had his face down on the table almost as if he were sleeping while usually he would be eating something to do with chocolate, like a chocolate bar or a cake. Lloyd would be eating candy but he just sat there with his shoulders slumped. Lastly, Jay was also trying to sleep but he didn't have his head down but closed his eyes.

"Why are you guys just sitting around here doing nothing?" Kai asked even though he knew the reason. They didn't feel like doing much ever since Zane left them.

"Well there isn't much to do anymore," said Jay, stifling a yawn. It seemed he was only trying to get some shut eye. "No serpentine to find, no nindroids to stop, no Stone Army to fight…it's just really peaceful around here and we're not use to that," he added.

"And plus, Zane isn't here and we really miss him." Lloyd added.

"So? Sensei told us to move on." Kai said, a bit annoyed by the fact that they refused to do anything without Zane now. "I think he knows we might see Zane again…"

Just then Nya walked in with some groceries and a smile on her face. "Hey guys. Why are you all so gloomy?"

"Nevermind that, sis," Kai said. "Why are you so happy?"

"Well I got an idea that we all might be able to enjoy," she replied, putting the grocery bags down.

"What is it?" Jay asked with a bit of boredom in his voice.

"None of us have went out for a dinner in a while so I thought it might be nice if we all went out to eat at a restaurant," Nya said happily, hoping to cheer the guys up a bit. "What do you guys think of having dinner at Mr. Chen's Noodle House?"

"Woah! Dinner at Mr. Chen's Noodle House?" exclaimed Jay. Kai hadn't seen him so excited since the last time Jay and Nya went on a date, which was around a month ago. "Why are you even asking that?"

Her smile was gone. "Why do you say that?"

"I think it's because he loves that place and it's an automatic yes," Lloyd said rolling his eyes. "Big surprise."

"Hey, says the one who would eat candy all day!"

"Well I'm not eating candy right now!"

"Well Nya, at least you brightened up the mood here," Cole joked as he woke up with a tired smile on his face. "Jay is starting to act like his old self again."

"So I'm guessing it's a yes?" Nya asked the guys.

"Yeah I'm perfectly fine with it." piped up Jay. Cole and Lloyd nodded too, silently saying that their fine with the dinner plans.

"What about you, Kai?" asked Lloyd although the teen hero didn't think the fire ninja would have a problem with it.

"Yeah, same here. I'm fine with it."

"Then it's set," said Nya. "We're going there at 7:30 so be ready…if you need to, that is." When she said that she was eyeing Jay, as he would most likely dress up to try and impress her as always.

When it was almost time for the four ninja and Nya to leave, they decided to get ready.

Kai decided to wear a simple red t-shirt with a red sweater with a zipper over it, along with dark red, nearly maroon, pants. Cole settled for a dark grey hoodie and black pants. Lloyd wore his ninja gi as he always did. The three of them went to the main deck to wait for Jay and Nya, expecting Jay to come out all fancy.

Jay came a few minutes later and his brothers were surprised that he was wearing such casual clothing. He came with a blue sweater with a white shirt underneath and, of course, blue pants. Nya came out shortly wearing what she normally does, but instead, her shirt had white stripes on it.

"Oh, so you didn't wear something fancy?" Nya asked Jay teasingly.

"Nah, that would look kind of weird because Chen's Noodle House is a casual restaurant not some fancy diner."

"Are the two sensei and Misako going to stay on the Bounty?" asked Kai.

"Yeah, I asked them if they could and they were fine with it." Nya replied with a smile.


So here's the first chapter, I will add the remaining ones in a bit. I just hope this isn't straight copying from the show (I don't really think so because I have an OC) or copying from someone else :p

Thanks for reading!
