A.N: Hey guys! So, as you know, I started this fic for fun, and I requested some OCs. I'm really sorry if I couldn't use yours…Well here are the ones I'm using:

Jayde McKenzie, White ninja of light

Ayesha Nightshade, Black ninja of shadow

Matt Franklin, Blue ninja of water

Max, Red ninja of psychic

Morgan Lucan, Dragon keeper

Trinity Animi, Morgan's surrogate sister

Now that that's over, on with the story!

Kai

Up to that day, I had always thought that Lloyd, Zane, Cole, Jay and I were the only ninja in Ninjago. Turns out I was wrong.

The ninja and I were riding our vehicles through a thick forest, heading towards a village that had sent a distress signal to us about a minute ago, and it honestly didn't sound too good. Apparently, some kind of creature had rampaged into the small town, set fire to everything and destroyed buildings, crops and people in the process.

As soon as we cleared the forest, we were greeted with the sight of a small settlement that was doused in water. People and animals had been pulled out of the rubble, and the collapsed buildings had been moved out of the way. "Damn it!" I shouted in frustration, "Why do they always get here before us?" I asked rhetorically. Jay shrugged, while the rest of the group remained unresponsive.

During the past week, we had been called to several different villages and towns, all of which were being attacked by this 'fire-breathing creature'. The only problem was, when we got to the site, everything had already been cleared up and everyone was safe again. And then the villagers would complain that we were trying to copy the look of the ninja that saved them.

I mean, if anything, the other ninja were copying us! We were THE ninja! The originals! I sighed in anger, and continued to speak, "Guys, I'm getting sick of this. We need to find out who keeps ripping off our look!" The others all nodded in agreement, as we drove into the village, receiving the usual comments about our 'impersonation'.

Cole, being the leader, walked up to a large group of villagers, and asked them "Who were the people that saved you?" The group went silent, as they turned around to face us. "You should know!" One man began to laugh, "You're the ones dressing up as them!" The rest of the people joined in chuckling at us. I was starting to get mad. "We're not dressing up as them!" Jay complained. Zane nodded in agreement, as Lloyd added, "We've been ninja for a year! There's no way we could be copying them!" This comment only fuelled the villager's laughter further.

"A year? The Legion have been in business for three years!" A woman chortled. Three years? But then these people couldn't have been replicating us… I was snapped out of my thoughts as a voice cut through the air like a knife. "What's going on here? And why are there four people dressed like us?" We turned to face the voices, greeted by the sight of four ninja balanced on the top of a roof; black, white, red and blue.

"We're not dressed like you!" I snapped. After saying that, Black jumped down from his perch on the roof, and strolled over to us. "Yes you are," he began, "You're wearing the same colours and the same uniforms. Only thing is, you've got an extra ninja, and you got the weapons wrong!" He observed pulling two golden daggers from hidden sheaths, and comparing them with Cole's scythe. "Yeah, none of us have scythes. They're too big and obvious for a ninja to carry around." Black continued.

"And a sword? Seriously?" Red flaunted, drawing an axe that had been strapped to his back. "These are way better." He brandished it around a bit, before returning it to his back. I looked over to where Jay was, and sure enough, he was being pestered by Blue. "Nunchucks? Who uses nunchucks?" Blue grinned under his mask, pulling two katanas from behind his back, and twirling them around in his hands before replacing them.

I glanced at Zane, who was the only one not being harassed by these Legion people. White was still sitting on the roof, watching his teammates. Suddenly, he stood up, and called out "Hey guys! Stop pestering them! They might actually be ninja, you know!" White's voice was feminine, though, unlike the others. This team actually had a girl with them? She was probably the weakest. When the rest of The Legion ignored her, White huffed, jumped off the roof and unslung a golden bow from her back, shooting an arrow straight through the group, effectively silencing everyone.

Black turned towards White, and asked her "Jayde, you honestly think that these people are ninja? We're the only ninja around here!" he reasoned. Lloyd stepped forward, and pointed, "That's what we thought, until you guys showed up!" Black stopped at this, and turned towards us. "Who are you guys anyway?" Black asked. I paused at this. We didn't really have a name like, The Legion or anything. We were just 'The Ninja'. I decided to stick with that. "We're The Ninja!" I exclaimed proudly, as the rest of the group turned towards me, eyebrows raised. "Really? That's the best you could come up with?" Jay asked.

"Geez, sorry!" I apologized sarcastically.

Red decided to interject, "Guys, can we at least TRY to do something productive?" he asked. Black cornered him, "Sheesh, that's rich, coming from you!" he voiced. Red shrugged, and backed away from Black. "But anyway, he's right!" Black barked, "We do need to do something other than argue. Listen, do you four know the monster that's been terrorizing Ninjago?" We all shook our heads, mumbling that we didn't. White sighed, and stepped forward. "We've been having trouble-"

"We have not!" She was interrupted harshly by Black, only to continue.

"As I was saying, we've been having trouble actually finding the monster itself. Since you four have showed up, and are apparently ninja, could I ask you on behalf of the team if you would help us?" she finished.

I glanced at the rest of our team, who seemed to be agreeing with White. The Legion, however, were a different matter altogether. Blue and Red were both throwing mini tantrums, insisting that they didn't want any other people helping them, while Black was insisting that they didn't need our help. "We've been ninja for three years! We don't need your help! We can catch the monster if and when we want to!" he yelled. White just walked over confidently, and whispered something to Black, who seemed to perk up at the comment.

"Okay fine," Black began, "we'll help you!" I looked over at Lloyd in confusion. "I thought we were helping them?" Lloyd whispered. I just shrugged in response, and kept listening to Black. "But you have to show us who you really are; otherwise we can't trust you." He finished. Easy enough. Without a second thought I flipped my hood off. "Name's Kai, red ninja of fire." I introduced myself. Cole was next, "I'm Cole, black ninja of earth." He offered. Zane and Jay tossed their hoods off next. "My name is Zane, the white ninja of ice."

"And I'm Jay, the blue ninja of lightning." He finished. Lloyd was the last of us to remove his hood. "I'm Lloyd, the green ninja. I control all the elements." He explained.

Black nodded, seemingly satisfied with our introductions. The first to reveal themselves in The Legion was Blue. "I'm Matt, blue ninja of water." Began the black haired boy, his ice blue eyes shining with excitement. Red was next. "My name's Max, and I'm the red ninja of psychic." He introduced, brushing his light brown hair from his hazel eyes. White stepped forward, and took off her hood next. "I'm Jayde, the white ninja of light." She informed us, as she shook her brown silver streaked hair out of her hood, and glanced over us briefly with her brown eyes.

I turned to Black and asked him, "You actually let a girl be on your team?" he raised an eyebrow, and replied, "Two girls." Black then pulled back her hood to send wavy black hair tumbling out. "Ayesha, black ninja of shadow." She introduced herself, her obsidian black eyes examining us each in turn. I couldn't believe it. The Legion had not just one, but two girls! Girls can't fight! They're always the ones getting rescued! But I decided not to mention that; after my previous comment, both Ayesha and Jayde looked as if they wanted to murder me.

Cole decided to break the silence, "Well, I always did wonder why we didn't have a water ninja…" he trailed off with a long pause, before continuing, "You guys should probably come with us to the Destiny's Bounty. Sensei and Nya will want to meet you."

"Sensei and Nya?" Ayesha asked.

"Yeah, Nya's Kai's sister, and Sensei is… Well…Sensei!" Jay explained. Ayesha just tossed a skeptical look at him, and began walking in the direction that we had come from.

I sighed to myself, before asking Jayde, "Is she always like this?" the ninja of light looked over at me, and replied, "Not all the time… You guys need to get to know her before she'll be nice to you." Well, that was comforting. I had a feeling this was going to be a long walk.

A.N: Glad I got that done! Sorry it took me so long to update; I was on holiday! For those of you waiting for the next chapter of TPo9 (The Prophecy of Nine), I promise it'll come out soon! Remember to review!
