The night began to darken the sky over the desert area surrounding the flying ship christened Destiny's Bounty. Aboard the ship, the great heroes of Ninjago we're holding a small celebration of video game brawl to welcome their newest member, Lloyd; the all-powerful green ninja.
"Woo-hoo! I win again!" The younger boy cheered as he jumped in his spot on the couch, embracing his victory over Jay and Kai. While the blue ninja, named Jay, had taken the win rather nicely, the red ninja, named Kai, looked about ready to explode in frustration. The thought crossed his mind to strangle the annoying child but he knew it wouldn't change anything- it would feel good, but not change anything.
"That's the fourth time in a row, guys." The black ninja, named Cole, remarked as he took another bite of cheese pizza, "Kai, don't tell me you lost your touch?"
"Hmph- I let him win." The red ninja defended, his anger barely invading his tone.
"Three times in a row, though? That's seems a bit much too just "let him win"." Zane had spoken up from his seat on the floor. True the white ninja wasn't one for video games but sometimes it was entertaining to watch his friends play so vigorously.
Kai narrowed his about to flame eyes toward the smart but strange ninja, "You're not helping."
"I was not aware I was supposed to." His reply had got chuckles to emerge from the others present.
"He got you there Kai." Jay pointed out as Kai simply crossed his arms.
The door had been jerked open and in came Nya, Kai's sister and mastered Samurai with a worried look upon her face, "Guys? We might have a problem."
"Did someone forget to weigh anchor again?" Jay asked in a light tone; he didn't like to see his crush in such a flustered state.
"No, I was on deck and I saw a shadows climb on board the ship!" Her normal calm and happy aura had changed to one of nervousness, something that bothered them all.
"C-Could it be Serpentine?" Lloyd asked, fear creeping into his voice.
"I don't think so, we defeated them not too long ago, they wouldn't be strong enough to try and attack us." Zane thought aloud as the wise Master Wu entered the room.
"I agree- this does not sound like Serpentine work. However it may be better to surprise our intruders then to have them surprise us." The aging man turned to his students, "Fan out and search the ship; try to find them but do not harm them- we don't know what we are up against."
"Yes master." The red, white, blue and black ninjas replied honorably before dashing out the room to search the perimeter.
"I have a strange feeling about this..." Lloyd mumbled to Nya as Sensei Wu closed his eyes in thought. There was a rather odd aura about this news- it may be the news he was waiting for.

Kai took a breath through his red hood as he stalked through the darkened training room. After "letting Lloyd win" he needed to take his anger out on something- preferably something that could fight back. A shadow darted in his peripheral vision and he froze in an attack stance.
"Alright Serpentine, slither out quietly so I can kick your tail!" Kai yelled, ready for a snake to crawl out of the shadows with beady red eyes and a hissing rattle. Instead he barely saw the shadow come straight at him and punch him dead in the face. The fire ninja sat up, the bridge of his nose aching as the world slowly stopped spinning around him. When he opened his dark eyes he froze again, in shock.
A millimeter away from his nose was a dark gray, sharpened arrow head. Part of him was afraid to move for fear of suddenly getting an implant he never wanted while another part was looking beyond the weapon to the person who was wielding it.
Standing before the red ninja was a teenage girl about his age. Her hair was a gorgeous burgundy color with hints of natural red blazed into the strands; done in a braid that kept it out of her dark hazel eyes. Those hazel eyes that had flashes of gold that glowed like faint embers in pitch darkness. Her clothes were rugged; the leather jacket with white undershirt and dark wash jeans tucked into black, combat boots. There was faint traces of dirt he could see that suggested she must have done some traveling (that or she hadn't bathed recently, possibly both).
The attacker's voice brought him out of his quick look, "You have for seconds to tell me who you are before I lodge this arrow in your throat." It was strange, she obviously was threatening him but there was something in her time that made him think she was anxious- worried even.
Kai opened up his mouth to answer when the gutless kicked in the back by Cole.
"You should watch your back." He scoffed as Kai flipped up and joined his side.
The girl held her ground, smirking at the two ninjas ready to pounce on her.
"Two against one? How exciting..." Her searing stare got to Kai as he leapt forward, already yelling the battle cry "NINJA-GO!"

Zane scanned the main deck with his eyes as the sun began to dip into the horizon. The sky had turned a dark shade of red/purple as the last rays of sunlight faded away. If he hadn't ignored the urge to look at the deck for the third time in one glance, he would have missed the quick duck of an out-of-place shadow. Jumping off the second level, the white ninja took a place parallel to the strange umbrage hiding behind the sturdy, wooden mast. Instead of scaring the figure away, Zane waited for the darkness to move across the deck toward the safety of the sleeping cabins. As it tried to escape, the ice ninja managed to trip the shadow and it fell on its face, spilling a small pack onto the floor. It was a simple and less harmful way of attacking one's enemies.
Zane made to grab it but paused when the figure turned around to see him. First and foremost, the being he had tripped was a girl, a girl about the age of his comrades. She had dark, ebony hair that was done up on a half ponytail with the rest string down her back and two pieces of hair to frame her face. Her eyes were the most entrancing shade of violet the ninja had ever seen in his life, matching the shade of sky fading in as all this happened. Her clothes were different as well, a white blouse with a black corset and a long, gray skirt that went to just below her knees, simple black flats on her feet. She was gazing up at him now, her body right with fear and her eyes pleading for mercy.
"P-please... Don't hurt me."
Her voice... It was feminine- poised but not snobby, angelic actually. Listening to it sent a strange feeling through Zane that he had never experienced before.
"I'm sorry for tripping you, but I need you to come with me." He tried to explain nicely as he gentlemanly offered a hand to help her up, which she took after a moment of hesitation. She picked up her bag and removed a black shawl from it and wrapped it around her head almost mimicking his ninja hood.
The white ninja simply pointed toward the right door and followed her as she walked inside just as the sun set and the moon began to rise.

Jay moaned, rubbing the sore spot on his head as the figure he was trying to capture darted away again.
"Hey! Get back here!"
The blue ninja was having a rather hard time getting it to cooperate and growled as he chased on. After weaving through the maze of doors he found his target trying to reach a port window. It was a small girl, younger than him with light blonde hair tied back with a dark blue ribbon. She was also wearing a dirtied light blue t-shirt with blue jean capris and sneakers, a silver chain and locket around her neck. She turned around to see him there and sighed knowing she was caught, her clear, aquamarine eyes dropping in defeat.
"Guess I lost the game, huh?" She asked, her voice although sad still had innocence to it, almost sweetness.
"Sorry, kiddo. You gotta come with me... but I won't hurt you, I promise." The lightning ninja felt a bit of remorse for the girl, all alone in a strange place. True they didn't know each other but that didn't stop him from pitying her.
"Ok... but you should take off that scarf-thingie; it makes you look like a robber or something." The girl walked past him as he followed, casually wondering if her statement was true.

It was the waiting that's killer. Nya paced the room as Lloyd sat on the couch, trying to hide his worry by twiddling his thumbs. Sensei Wu opened his eyes from his standing meditation session as he sensed a presence at the door. Zane walked in with the hooded girl close behind, looking rather nervous all around with her purple eyes.
"Zane are you ok?" Nya asked as the white ninja entered.
"Yes, I am unharmed and I discovered this person on the deck of the ship." His voice calmly replied as he motioned toward the young woman beside him.
She nodded and removed her hood, and Zane did a double take back to her hair. It was no longer dark ebony but glistening white.
"I'm terribly sorry if I caused any trouble." She spoke softly, relaxing the shawl on her arms as everyone stared at her.
The senses felt his eyes widen at the sight of the girl's hair, the white was a sign.
She must have been touched by the moon's powers, he mused as Zane finally spoke up, "I... I could have sworn you had dark hair when I found you."
The girl looked down, her hands clamping in front of her, "It was, but-"
She was interrupted by Jay's arrival with the younger blonde girl.
"No way," Jay said as the room turned to see him, "You found someone too?"
"I guess it was more than one shadow..." Lloyd muttered as he looked at the girl, who nearly matched his age. She smiled at him which he quickly turned away from, his body warming up for some weird reason.
Another bang at the door resulted in Kai and Cole hauling in the struggling third stranger; trying her best to tug loose from their grips on her upper arms.
"Hey guys, found our stowa- huh?" Kai stopped when seeing the two new girls.
"It appears that we have more than two stowaways on board." Zane deduced as the young blonde perked at the sight of the burgundy-red head.
"Sis..." She whispered to herself in happiness as the two boys let her go, running and jumping up to hug the girl around the neck.
The released captive backed away from the black and red ninjas and held the little girl close, whispering in her ear.
"Well," Sensei Wu broke the silence, "It appears that some introductions are in order."
Nya nodded as the ninjas removed their hoods, "My name is Nya. The man who just spoke is Sensei Wu. That's Cole, Jay, Zane, Lloyd and my brother, Kai." She motioned to each member as she said their names.
"We're the ninjas of Spinjitsu." Jay spoke in almost a bragging manner.
The white haired girl voiced first, "My name is Infinity."
"I'm Brooklynn, but you can call me Brooke." The limitless girl grinned as she was placed her feet, waving friendly.
The hazel eyed girl crossed her arms over her chest in a defensive way, "... my name is Abella."
"It is a pleasure to meet you all." The elderly sensei nodded in recognition. "So what are you all doing here?" Cole questioned, trying to keep the strong 'leader' tone in his voice.
"You're not working for the serpentine are you!" Kai came closer to Brooke; the younger girl gulped and backed up as Abella placed a protective arm around the young one.
"Look hothead, you come any step closer to my sister and I will knock out your lights." The protective girl glared at Kai with hazel eyes that flickered with hints of threatening gold. Kai tried not to let his state falter at the moment of liquid gold filling his vision, their staring contest ending as Nya pushed her brother back.
"Serpentine?" Infinity mumbled to herself, distinct fearful tone. Everyone turned in surprise at the white haired girl's statement.
"You have never heard of the Serpentine?" Zane verbally communicated his friends' incredulity.
Infinity snapped out Of her trance like state, "Oh, I've heard of them."
Nya tilted her head a bit; Infinity seemed to be holding something back.
Maybe I can talk to her later about it.
"What would we be doing with Serpentine? Don't you know everyone hates snakes?" Abella rolled her eyes, clearly irritated.
Brooklynn only shook her head and stepped forward, "What my sister is trying to say is that we're not spies. We were abandoned in the desert and this was the closest place of shelter. I'm sorry about causing anyone to panic but we didn't know what to do."
"I think it would be best to continue this in the morning," Sensei Wu concluded and turned to Nya, "Nya- can you prepare two rooms for our guests?"
"Of course." The girl samurai smiled and lead the three girls out of the room, Kai's eyes following them all the way. Abella was the last to leave, pausing in the doorway to look straight at the red ninja. Her eyes narrowed, before turning and leaving.
"Sensei, why are we taking them in so easily?" Zane asked his master.
The elder held his staff between his hands, "People are more willing to talk if they are not in a hostile environment, the saying goes 'It is easier to coax a fly with honey than with vinegar."
"I thought we were going to try good cop, bad cop." Cole said sarcastically.
"Call dibs on Good cop!" Jay waved his arms while Kai simply slapped the ninja on the back of the head.
The Sensei only sighed, "The hour grows late- it's time to turn in for the night."
The four ninjas bowed in respect before leaving for their sleeping quarters. The aging master shook his head with fondness glistening in his dark eyes before retiring himself.

"So, it has begun." A woman mused as she gazed up at the star-filled sky. She had short bobbed hair with dark chocolate eyes, dressed in a long, flowing light pink gown glittering with small crystals embedded in the fabric. On her head was a tiara with beautiful gems encrusted in the silver head piece. She turned and entered a large temple, going up to a large painting.
"The new Ninjagos will be revealed."
