Misako and Sensei Wu were bent over the many scrolls Misako had brought for them to look over. Their attempts of finding a way to avoid having Lloyd fight Lord Garmadon were failing miserably. The other ninja were training on the upper deck. "What's this.." Sensei said. "What?" Misako asked, curiosity taking the better of her. "Listen to this, A shadow will rise to help the green ninja defeat the dark lord. What does that mean?" Sensei told her. Millions of ideas were running through his head. "Who is this shadow?" he asked. "I don't know, but- wait! No, it's to ridiculous" Misako said. "No, what were you going to say?" Wu asked curiously.

"I know this is crazy, but I wonder if...Teagan?" Misako looked at Wu desperately. "But, I thought she...I thought she was dead?" Sensei asked sadly. "Well, that's what I told you, but she's too clever for that to happen. She can defend herself. Remember who her father is" she answered. "But even if she did survive, how would we find her?"

*Later in the bridge*

"So all we have to do is find a girl? Easy" boasted Kai. Misako raised her eyebrows. "Don't be so sure. You don't know who your dealing with" "Anyway, mom? How do you know this Teagan girl?" Lloyd asked his mother. Misako was without words. "You don't remember her? She's your-" she was cut off by Jay who was extremely impatient. "Yeah yeah whatever. Let's just go!" They did just that.

"We will all split up and search different parts of ninjago. Jay and Nya, you will go to downtown ninjago city. Lloyd, uptown. Kai and Zane, you will search the badlands. Cole, you will go to the forests. Misako and I will search Jamonacai village. Everyone clear?" sensei asked. Everyone nodded their heads in agreement. "Let's go!"

Jay, Nya and Lloyd flew off towards Ninjago city. Zane and Kai took the ninja tank to the badlands. Sensei and Misako headed their ways and Cole ran towards the forest.

*In the Forest*

Cole walked through the quiet forest, humming a song to break the silence. He was oblivious to the dark figure swinging through the trees above him. He stooped humming when he heard a branch snap above him. It was immediately followed by an arrow whizzing past his face and lodging itself in the ground next to his feet. He looked up to face a girl wearing a tight black T-shirt, military cargo pants and a mask hanging upside down from a branch. He stumbled backwards, tripping on a tree root and falling on his butt. The girl gazed at the stunned Cole and was drawn in. "Who are you?" she asked menacingly. "Uh, my name's Cole. Look, I don't want to hurt you. Can you just tell me your name?" he asked. "Teagan. Now scram!" the girl told him, as she promptly ran away. Cole got up and followed her. "No wait!" Cole yelled desperately. The girl abruptly turned around, leaving Cole to run into her. "Why are you following me? I told you to leave!" she said.

Cole took a moment to catch his breath. "I..need..you...to listen. Do..you know..Misako?" he asked. The girl(Now known as Teagan) took her mask off. It revealed dark mysterious eyes. She had dark brown, almost black, hair pulled back into a loose braid. Her bangs framed her tan face. Cole was stunned for a second, staring at her. "so...you really are...Teagan?" he whispered quietly.

"The one and only. You said you knew Misako? I have some..unfinished business"

Cole looked at her quizzically. "Um, okay. Come with me. We've been trying to find you" he told her hastily. Teagan agreed and followed him towards the bounty.

*On the bounty*

The four ninja (Cole was not back yet) Misako, Nya, and Sensei were clustered on the deck. None of them had had any luck. "I really hope Cole gets back soon" Jay said impatiently. On queue, Cole arrived on the bounty, followed by, a girl. "Wait did you find her?" Jay asked. "Teagan?" Misako and Sensei wu said at the same time. "Huh?" Lloyd said oblivious, unaware of who she was. In response to Misako, Teagan glared angrily. "How nice to see you again" she said sarcastically.

"Uh, Lloyd? I want you to meet Teagan, your- your older sister" Misako said uneasily. "WHAT!" Lloyd exploded. "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME I HAD A SISTER!" Misako seemed to shrivel up underneath his death stare. "I am so confused right now. Since when has Lloyd had a sister?" Kai whispered to Cole. He shrugged in response.

"Oh, so nice to see the reason that my mother payed zero attention to me in the last six wasted years of my life" Teagan said sarcastically. In return, Lloyd gave her the death stare. Misako was desperately trying to stop the fighting. "Oh Teagan! I never knew you were angry about that! You know I'll always love you" she begged. "Funny way of showing it" Teagan swiftly replied.

"Why don't we return to the matter at hand" sensei began, "Teagan? Do you know why you're here?" he asked her. "It's pretty obvious isn't it? I mean obviously you need my skills to help Lloyd defeat our dad because I'm the only one who knows him well enough and has his powers" she replied. "She's really confident, don't you think?" Cole whispered. "More like obnoxious. Does she even know what we've been through?" Kai answered, a bit loudly. "Oh I know what you've been through all right. Absolutely nothing. Nada. How would you like to be pestered by your dad to come to the "Dark Side"" Teagan told Kai. Kai looked around uneasily.

"Um, yes. Well Teagan you are right about why we need you. You truly are the only one who has Garmadon's abilities. Why don't you tell us what you can do" sensei asked her. "Now that is more like it. I like beating up boys as much as I do serpentine" Teagan said, smiling mischievously. "Now wait a minute, who said anything about-" Jay suddenly started shivering uncontrollably. "W-a-W-W-a...d-d-d-did...y-y...d-d-do...t-t-t-to..me-e" he stammered, his teeth chattering. Teagan appeared behind him. "Ability number one. I can turn into a shadow which makes people really cold and I can pass through things. Now Kai. Run towards me" she told him. "Why?" he asked uneasily. "Just do it" she said, exasperated. Kai reluctantly started running towards her. An "Ow!" followed by Kai stumbling backwards onto Zane. Teagan had made a force field around her that was hard as a rock. "Ability number two. I can make a force field"

"Very good. Now it's getting late, Nya? Why don't you share your bedroom with Teagan. And show her around the bounty" said Sensei. "Sure thing sensei! Come on, I'll show you everything there is to know about the bounty" Nya told Teagan. Teagan followed Nya off into the ship.

*Later on the bounty*

It was getting dark and the ninja were getting ready for bed. Teagan was up on the roof staring at the stars. She had kept the black T-shirt but traded in her cargo pants for lavender plaid pajamas. Sighing, she started to sing softly. "I don't know what I want, so don't ask me...cause I'm still trying to figure it out...Don't know whats down this road, I'm just walking trying to see" she looked up and breathed in deeply. "I'm alone, on my own, and thats all I know. I'll be strong, I'll be wrong, oh but life goes on. Oh I'm just a girl trying to find a place in this world..." she ended slowly.

"You don't have to be alone you know" a voice said behind her. "Oh! my god you scared me!" she said, startled as she turned around to face Cole. "Sorry bout that, you know you're a really good singer" he said, walking over and taking a seat next to Teagan. "I try" she answered.

"I sometimes come up here, if I can't sleep" he said looking up to the stars. Teagan looked away for a second, then looked straight at Cole. "I haven't been entirely truthful with you guys" she said suddenly. "What do you mean?" asked Cole. "Well, I can do more than just turn into a shadow and make force fields" Cole raised his eyebrows at this. "I can sort of communicate telepathically with people. But my powers are the strongest when I'm doing it with my dad, cause he can do it too" she looked down. "Show me" Cole said suddenly. "What?" Teagan asked, confused. "Show me how you can do it" he told her. Okay, a voice in Cole's head said. Cole was shocked for a second, but answered her. "That's really cool" he said.

Teagan smiled. "I guess since I'm a lot like my dad, I became closer to him than my mom and Lloyd. When I first ran away I went to my dad" she told him.

"About that. Why did you run away in the first place?" Cole asked her. "Oh well, my mom probably told you how she knew Lloyd was gonna be the green ninja and how she was so afraid for him, but she didn't tell you the other side. She dropped him off at Darkly's and took me with her to help found out more info but she payed absolutely no attention to me. It was like I wasn't even there. So I ran away" she said quietly.

"Are you okay?" Teagan asked Cole, he was looking away and seemed upset about something. "Oh it's just, I can relate to that. My dad really wanted me to be a dancer and he didn't like me being a ninja. So I also ran away, but I told him not that long ago and he's good with it. I am now the only person in the world to be able to do the triple tiger sashay" he said smugly. Teagan smirked. "Don't be so sure"

"Oh?" he said, raising his eyebrows. "Watch and learn" Teagan said getting up. She quickly performed the triple tiger sashay with ease. "Not bad, not bad" cole said smiling. "But I'm still mad at you"

"Why?"

"Because you took away my title as the only one able to do the triple tiger sashay" he said. "It'll be our little secret" Teagan whispered in Cole's ear, and ran inside. She's really pretty, Cole thought as he sighed happily.

He's kinda cute, Teagan thought as she walked back to her room.
