Ah, a new story. As the title implies, this is the prequel to a new beginning. Yes it'll be hard to write a prequel of a story that's not even done. But "A New Beginning is on a bit of a break, seeing as when it comes to that story I have writers block.

Nadakhan's defeat had been a great one. It's faint but the ninja remember all it took to defeat him. Peace had returned to ninjago once again, which meant the ninja had to occupy themselves.

Lloyd trained on his own accord, still being a sensei in training. Wu tells him to take it easy, but Lloyd doesn't listen. He says he should never let a team member almost die because of him being powerless. Cole continued to learn more and more about his ghost abilities, using them to give the ninja a humorous scare from time to time.

Jay and Nya got back together, no more love triangle Involving Cole. Zane is helping Cyrus Borg to create Pixal a new body. And kai, he's been finding out more info on his father and the other original elemental masters.

Right now the ninja were on the bounty, the ship sitting behind their newly built monastery. "Ok, sensei said if you focus hard enough, you have the ability to regain the power of amber." Kai said in a meditating position on the floor and talking with his girlfriend, Skylor, who was in the same position. She had lost her powers during the tournament due to that spell Clouse performed on her.

Kai closed his eyes and Skylor did the same, she then took a deep breath in then breathed out. Kai started to feel warmth, this caused him to open his eyes. He saw Skylor floating with fire, lightning, earth, ice, and green energy floating around her. "Ha, you're doing it!" Kai said amazed. Just then she dropped to the floor and the five elements dispersed.

"Damn." Skylor cursed to herself, "I couldn't do it." Kai noticed the frown on her face. "It's okay, Sky. You did better than last time." Kai said sympathetically. "Thanks, kai." Skylor said smiling a bit. "Well, I think dinner's ready, we can try again tommorow." Kai said as they made their way to the dining hall.

The red head and brunette made it to the dining hall. "Where's Lloyd and Misako?" Asked Jay as everyone began to sit down. "They went to visit my brother's grave. Sensei Wu said, "I too plan to go, after dinner that is." He finished. "Hey, we'll go with you." Cole said. "Excellent." Wu said stroking his beard.

(Ninjago city cemetery)

"Happy birthday dad." Lloyd said putting flowers on the grave, misako doing the same. "Hey mom, could I have a moment?" Lloyd asked. "No problem sweetie, I'll be at the car." Misako said heading to the car. "It's been a while. You know, sometimes I just wish you were here to guide me, to help me be a better leader." Lloyd said.

"I..Nya..she almost died, and I couldn't do anything to prevent it. "How am I supposed to be the green ninja, if I can't even keep my team safe?" Lloyd said putting his head down. "Always full of excuses and no solutions." Said a voice in the wind.

Lloyd looked up and turned around, he saw..his father, as a spirit. "Dad?" Lloyd said surprised, "how are you here?", "Anything is possible through the First Spinjitzu Master." Garmadon replied. "Lloyd, you are the green ninja. If you feel Nya almost dying was a mistake on your part, then learn from that mistake." Garmadon said before his spirit disappeared into the wind.

"Thanks, dad." Lloyd said aloud, wiping his eyes. As Lloyd began to run to the car he heard an explosion. He turned and saw a building a blaze and smoke billowing from it. He immediately called the ninja.

(Bounty)

Everyone was enjoying a plate of spaghetti and meatballs. "This is delicious, zane." Nya complemented. "Thank you. I've been trying new recipes, and thought you all would enjoy this one." Zane said.

"Hey-" Cole was interrupted by the alarm. The group got up and ran to the computer room. Nya began typing rapidly and then something appeared on the screen. It was footage of a building that was falling a part and was on fire.

In the corner of the screen it notified them that lloyd was calling. "Guys, come quick. This-", "We're already on it." Nya said hanging up. The ninja all ran to the deck and summoned their elemental dragons.

"Hey, I dont have an elemental dragon." Skylor said. Everyone had already flew off except kai. The fire starter turned around an put his out for Skylor to take. She took his hand and kai summoned his elemental dragon.

"Ah, nothing like the crisp evening breeze hitting your face." Cole said. "Agreed." Jay said. The ninja eventually made it to Ninjago city, landing their dragons in front of the building.

Kai ran up to a fire fighter. "Are there any more people inside?" Kai asked. "A few actually, we're not sure if we'll be able to get to them." The fire fighter said sadly. "Don't worry, we can. Just focus on helping the injured." Kai said.

He then ran back to his group, and noticed Lloyd had joined them. "He says there are a few more people left." Kai said. "Alright, Nya, Kai, and Zane. You three will go in there and put out the fire, along with saving the people in there." Lloyd said as the three nodded and ran into the building.

"Jay and Skylor, you'll help the fire fighters treat the injured." He told them. "Cole and I will protect the people out here from any more debris that comes from the building." Lloyd finished. The four went to their assigned areas.

Kai, Zane, and Nya were in the building searching for injured people. "Hello! Is anyone here!?" Kai shouted. "Perhaps we should use a different approach." Zane said as he pulled out a heat signature radar. "Smart thinking, Zane." Nya said.

"Kai, since you're body can withstand great amounts of heat, take the radar and save the people in here. Nya and I will focus on putting out the fire." Zane directed. Kai nodded and went to the nearest heat signature.

Cole and Lloyd noticed a peace of the building was starting to fall off. "Throw me!" Cole said, "Excuse me?" Lloyd questioned. "Throw me!" Cole repeated. Lloyd picked up cole and chucked him at the falling peace of building.

Cole then did airjitzu which gave him enough power to go through the piece of ruuble breaking it into smaller pieces. Lloyd zapped all the smaller pieces into dust using green energy.

Cole landed next to Lloyd. "Well, that was fun." Cole said sarcastically.

Kai noticed that there was a heat sig coming from a closet. He opened it and found a little boy and girl. Kai assumed if there were kids there were parents. "Where's your parents?" Kai asked. "We don't know." Said the girl.

"Alright." Kai said as he picked them up and walked to a window. Kai noticed Jay and Skylor down on the ground. "Jay! I got two!" Kai shouted. Jay conjured his dragon and flew to the window kai was at. Kai sat the kids on Jay's dragon. "Two down." Kai looked at the heat sig radar, "four to go."

"OK, what hurts?" Skylor asked the asked the two kids. "My shoulder and his knee." The girl spoke for herself and the boy, which made Skylor assume he didn't talk much. Skylor cleaned their wounds and bandaged them. "There, all better." Skylor said finishing.

Zane and Nya were putting out the fire. "Zane, the structure is going to collapse. The three of you must get out." Pixal told Zane. "Nya, Pixal says we have to get out of here, the structure is going to collapse." Zane said. Nya nodded then left the building. Zane then talked to Kai through his earpiece. "Kai, we've got to go, this-", "I'll do that as soon as I save everyone." Kai interrupted his warning.

"Zane, you have to leave, now." Pixal said. Zane then ran out, "where's kai? Nya asked. "He said he wasn't coming out until he saved the rest of them." Zane told her. "He's crazy." Jay said. Just then the building began to collapse.

Rubble was everwhere, no one could've survived. "Kai." Cole said distraught. "What?" Kai replied as if Cole wanted a reply. He removed the rubble. He was safe, and he saved the others.

"How did you survive?" Nya asked. "Elemental shield." Kai replied as the rescued were taken to the hospital. Everyone began cheering for the ninja. "Another job well done." Jay said as they took off on their dragons and headed home.

(Monastery)

"Good job today, ninja." Sensei congratulated. "Thank you." The seven said in unison. Sensei walked into his room.

It was ten o' clock now and the five ninja were bored. "Hey guys!" Skylor and Nya shouted from the game room, "come here." The five ninja walked in and were surprised.

There were seven blankets on the floor, Nya and Skylor already on two of them, and each matched their element. There was also a case of cold pop.

"We're having a sleep over in the game room." Skylor said. The boys just shrugged their shoulders and sat on their color blanket. "Alright, how about we play a game?" Nya suggested. "What'd ya have in mind?" Lloyd asked.

"Hmm, how about never have I ever...with pop of course. Also, Cole we discovered it has to be pure water that'll kill you, so pop is ok." Skylor said. The others agreed and grabbed a can of pop. "

"I'll go first." Kai said, "Never have I ever...not had spiky hair." Everyone took a drink. "Ok, Cole said, "Never have I ever...seen a guy nude." Jay took a sip and everyone looked at him.

"Not on purpose! I accidentally walked in on Kai while he was getting out of the shower." That statement made Cole bust out in a fit of laughter.

"Never have I ever...been over six foot." Jay said. Kai, Skylor, Zane, and Cole took a sip. Zane decided to make it tough for them. "Never have I ever been human." Zane said. Every one took a drink.

"Never have I ever lost my element." Nya said and everyone took a drink. "Never have I ever had an elemental weapon." Skylor said. The four original ninja took a drink.

"Never have I ever not worn the green ninja suit." Lloyd said. Everyone except Kai and Nya took a drink. "That was fun. But now, how about something else." Skylor suggested. "Truth or dare!" Jay shouted, and like before they all agreed.

"I'll go first. Kai, truth or dare? Lloyd asked. "Dare." He replied. "I dare you..to slap Skylor and Nya." Lloyd said. "Come on, she's my girlfriend and she's my sister." Kai protested. "It's a dare. And if you don't do it you forfeit" Lloyd said.

Kai walked up to the two, "there's no way you're slapping us." Nya said. "Don't worry I have a plan." Kai whispered to the two. He took his hand and brushed it across their faces.

"I said slap them." Lloyd said folding his arms. "That may be true, but you didn't say how hard." Kai replied. "He's has a point." Zane said. "Fine." Lloyd said. "Alright, Jay, truth or dare?" Kai asked.

Jay gulped, he knew there were things kai wanted to know about him and Nya. "Dare." Jay finally responded. "I dare you to show me the weirdest thing you've done with my sister. With Cole being Nya." Kai said.

Jay sighed. He then got on his hands and knees. "Cole get on my..back." Jay said. Cole reluctantly did so. When Cole got on his back Jay started making horse noises and crawling around on the floor.

Kai was getting this all on camera while laughing hysterically. Nya's face went a bright shade of red due to embarrassment. "Alright, alright, that's enough." Kai said as the two stopped. "My turn." Jay said.

The master of lightning looked at Skylor. "Truth or dare?" He asked. "Truth." She replied. "Tell me the truth. Besides Kai, which guy on the team would you make out with?" Jay asked.

"Well, Lloyd you're a brat, Jay, you're to short, Cole is to jacked, and Nya..well I don't roll like that. So, Zane." Skylor said. The ninja continued playing until they eventually got restless and called it a night.
