A/N: Ok, this is the sequel to The Forge of Time. Trouble With Time was just a little random adventure with a moral that I slotted in. THIS is the real deal. It is set when Lloyd is still young but they have the Destiny's Bounty so I guess it is after Ninjaball Run.

Disclaimer: I do not own Ninjago or Daleks from Doctor Who

(Kora's POV)

"Everyone! The apocalypse is here!" Lloyd cried as he burst into the video game room. "Daleks and dragons are invading the sky!"

Cole, Jay, Nya and Kai burst out screaming and ran around the room aimlessly. I stared at them in quiet surprise. I passed Lloyd who was cringing with fear as I left to walk onto the deck of the Bounty. As I closed the door I heard Jay cry out above the screams.

"We're all going to die!" He hollered.

I strode casually onto the deck. Here, Zane was staring out as the clouds as we passed them. He turned to me.

"Hello Kora. What brings you out here? Why are you not enjoying time playing with the others?" He asked.

"Apparently there's meant to be an apocalypse involving Daleks and dragons out here according to Lloyd." I stated.

We both stared out to the peaceful, empty sky. Nothing out here I noted. Guess Lloyd's pranking them.

"My scanners do not indicate any worldwide threat." Zane reported.

Thanks Captain Obvious. There's clearly nothing else in the sky. I turned to run back into the game room. I was desperate to see the chaos occurring in there.

"Thanks Zane." I called over my shoulder. "I'm going to tell the others. I'm missing the fun and every second counts!"

Once I pried open the door, my eardrums felt like they burst at the wailing inside. Cole was screaming his head off and running about while Lloyd snickered in the corner. Jay and Nya held each other's hands and were exchanging tearful farewells while Kai shook his head disapprovingly. I ran over to Lloyd and we chuckled at the sight before us, high-fiving.

"Nya, I just want to say that if we die, I'll miss you the most." Jay wept.

"I feel the same." Nya sobbed before she collapsed on Jay's shoulder, crying.

Kai grabbed one of each of their shoulders which got their attention. "Nya, Jay, now that we're about to die, I just want to say… I never approved of your relationship. I mean you could do so much better than him." Kai gestured to Jay who looked offended.

Before Nya could reply, Cole shoved Jay to the floor, knelt in front of Nya and looked her in the eye. "Nya, there's something I want to say-"

"Hey!" Jay interrupted. "You're stealing my girl!"

"No I'm not!" Cole cried. "I just want her to move out of the way of the cake!"

Nya sidestepped and behind her was a giant chocolate cake. When did that get there? Cole took a run up before jumping onto the giant cake crying "Cowabunga!" Chocolate flooded the room, drowning us in an ocean of the rich goodness. I tried to reach the surface before I drowned but I was running out of air. 'No, it can't end like this!' I thought weakly, desperately. I saw two giant purple eyes appear among the brown. Revenge…


I sat up, panting as I looked around the room. Bunk beds, no screaming, no chocolate cake. I lay back down on my bed, heart thumping. I have some seriously weird dreams. I thought, shaking my head. It's time I got up anyway. All the other beds are empty.

I changed as fast as I could into my ninja suit and made my way to the kitchen. I paused halfway down the hall. Pancakes? I smell pancakes. I walked to the door and edged it open.

"Ah, Kora, you are awake." Sensei said serenely. "Come, Nya has made us pancakes. Once you are done, I will inform you of today's mission."

Everyone was crowded around the table. Sensei sat at the head of the table. Cole, Jay and Lloyd sat on one side while Kai sat next to Zane on the other. I sat on Zane's other side as Nya entered the room in a blue apron and holding a fresh batch of pancakes. Jay sighed happily.

"Morning Kora. Here." She put two pancakes on the plate in front of me, and a cup of tea as well. "I know how you like your tea. I'll join you in a moment. Anyone for another helping?"

I nodded as Lloyd cried "Me! Me! I want some!"

I rubbed my eyes groggily and finally muttered "Morning guys."

They all grunted in response except for Zane. "Good morning. Sleep well?"

Is he ever tired? I wondered. "Kind of. Weird dream though," I said blankly.

I cut up my pancake and began to eat. Nya sat herself at the other end of the table, opposite Sensei and finally started to chow down too.

"Now that we are all here, I will relay today's mission." Sensei said. "There is a politically powerful couple hosting a formal gathering tonight to celebrate the husband's election into power and another thing that was not specified. Normally this would not come to our attention but there are some rumours of an assassination attempt going to be put in place."

"Whoa, can I come this time Uncle? Please?" Lloyd begged.

"More importantly, where is this taking place, Sensei?" asked Cole.

Sensei replied with a few words. "Lotus Manor. There the election of Shane Lotus will be celebrated."

I spat out the tea I was drinking into Jay's face. I coughed as Jay cried out in shock due the grossness. Kai, Lloyd and Cole laughed at him. Even Nya giggled but Sensei wasn't amused. Did Sensei just say what I think he said? Zane put his hand on my back.

"Kora, what is the meaning of this? Are you alright?" He asked.

I shook off Zane's hand and stared Sensei in the eye once the laughter died down. "Did you say Lotus Manor?" When Sensei nodded, I buried my head in my hands. "Oh, god. That can only mean… Ohhh no. And they think I'm dead…"

"Uh, Kora, you alright?" asked Cole.

I didn't respond. Nya pulled my hands away from my face and looked at me with concern.

"There's something you're not telling us, isn't there?" said Nya.

I nodded and managed to find my voice. "Lotus Manor was my home before I joined you. Shane Lotus is my dad and Alexia Lotus is my mum. My dad's in the government and my mum's a renowned diplomat. If someone's plotting to assassinate them, they're going to kill my parents. On top of that, they think I'm dead."
