A/N: Hello! Time to discover what my surprise for Kai is! *rubs hand evilly together while doing an evil laugh* This is going to be so much fun! Also, does anyone know when the new season comes out? Unless it comes out soon, this series is going on Hiatus after this book. Sorry? Hey, look on the bright side! It was supposed to end with the 7th book …and this is now going onto book 9 plus a 'short story'. So, ten books instead of the seven-eight books that were originally planned. But hey, none of this would have been possible if it weren't for the fact that you all enjoyed this soo much! So thank you for reading Back In My Days…

Prologue: This…is really not good

~Kai's POV~

I groaned as I slowly woke up. I was lying on my stomach on a hard dirt covered surface, little Sensei just barely out of my reach. Debris from our ship surrounded us, and covered us somewhat. A pile of broken planks shifted and fell to the side as Cole stood up. "Is everyone ok?"

Jay crawled carefully out from underneath what appeared to be a maze of broken pipes. "I'm fine."

Zane's hand darted out from underneath a mattress. "I would like some help over here…"

Jay and Cole darted forward, grabbing his hand and pulling him out from underneath the mattress. "Where's Kai?"

"I'm over here!" I called out to them as I waved my hands in the air.

"Kai!" "Here, let us help you there." "Is little Sensei alright?"

At Zane's question, little Sensei sat up, his gaze sweeping through the area. "Where are we?"

"That is a good question. For now, we need to get Kai out from under this pile of junk and double check that none of us were hurt." Zane knelt down next to me, grabbing a hold of whatever was on top of me. "Cole? I need your assistance. This is too heavy for me alone."

"On it." Cole grabbed a hold of the thing and nodded to Zane. "On a count of three…earth…."

"Ice…"

"Lightning!" They heaved upwards, lifting the thing off of me.

~Nya's POV~

I stared absentmindedly at the far wall, only vaguely aware of Skylor ushering the last of the elemental masters into the abandoned warehouse. Father and Mother were with the other parents and Lloyd and Misako, all of them whispering quietly together about how depressing it was to lose our best fighters. Pixal was sitting in a far corner, too stunned to do anything, incapable of crying.

Closing my eyes, I reached once more to the bond between me and my brother, expecting to find nothing there… shock flooded me as a barrage of emotions, horror, fear, anger, frustration, and finally a deep sadness slammed into me. To make things even more interesting, they were coming from his side of the bond which meant that… "Kai is still alive."

"Wait…what?" Skylor blinked, clearly confused about what I had just said.

"Kai is still alive…I can sense him still! He's upset about something but I don't know what… I, I can't talk to him like I used to though. There's something blocking me…but I can still sense his emotions!" I curled my fingers into a small fist, even as a burst of humor flared up from his side…and it was directed at…someone else. "He isn't alone. But I can't tell who is with him. Some of them must have survived everything."

Tears of pure joy slid down my cheek as I tried to keep a hold of our bond. This was amazing and a really good sign...

~Kai's POV, rewind to before Nya discovered that he was still alive~

Cole tossed the last of the combination of steel pipes and broken wood planks to the side, finally freeing me. Except for one problem. "Um? Guys? Did you not uncover my legs?"

Zane frowned as he looked at me in confusion. "What are you talking about? Your legs are uncovered."

I felt panic rise up as I tilted my head up to look him in the eyes. "I can't feel them…"

Zane uttered a few choice words that I didn't know he knew, which also lead to Jay yelling at him that there was a kid there, as he bent down and helped me into a sitting position. "This isn't good…" He pulled my legs out in front of me, a frown on his face. Grabbing my foot, he began bending it towards my shin. "Can you feel that?"

"N…n…n...n...n.n. ." Fear was slipping in as I began to suspect what this meant.

Zane grimaced as he stopped and quickly scanned me. "It is like I fear it would be. You have broken your spine just right. You are paralyzed from the waist down."

I didn't know what to think about that. The first emotion that slammed into me was horror over the fact I couldn't walk anymore…then fear rose up as I wondered what good I would be in battle. Next was anger that Harumi, I wasn't going to blame Garmadon since he isn't in his right mind right now, would dare do this to me. All of my favorite things to do with my sister and brothers then came to mind, bringing with it a deep sense of frustration that I was now limited on how much I could actually help them. Tears finally slide down my face as depression finally set in.

Jay twitched slightly, uneasy to see me so upset. "Hey… Kai…it's ok…I mean…look on the positive side of things! You can now totally beat us at a staying still game!"

A snort escaped me as I fought the urge to laugh. Trust Jay to try and cheer me up over being the first ever really handicapped ninja. "Thanks Jay…I appreciate the thought."

Little Sensei walked over and placed a gentle hand on my left leg…it felt weird not feeling that though. "Hmm, give it time. All things will become clearer given time."

"And I just got sage advice from someone that isn't even potty trained yet…" I grumbled under my breath out of annoyance. No sooner had I said that did a sudden burst of undiluted joy slammed into me…only it wasn't my own which meant that… "Nya is alright. I...can still sense her emotions."

"Man…if you can sense her emotions then you must have just sent her on a rollercoaster of emotions." Cole commented as he stepped behind me, his arms crossing across his chest.

Oops…

A/N: Done! So, yeah…now Kai's paralyzed! And Nya doesn't quite understand what is going on but she can send Kai her emotions and Kai can send her his emotions… and he just really confused her with his emotions right then… but hey! He just found out that he is paralyzed from the waist down. See you all next time!

Review!
