Hey guys! PowerinPink has returned to continue the series! :D

At first I wasn't going to, since I guessed completely on the first story; but I finally planned ahead and have SOME ideas now!

So this is the second story of the series: Child's Play

The whole first part is just the beginning of story 1 for a refresher, and the rest is continuing but from where a different character sacrifices himself.

Shout out to Waterfall13, ninjagosilverninja1, YellowBook, halz1320, spammessages222, Wafflegirl0304, and everyone else who I didn't mention who reviewed so much on my first Ninjago story! 3

Garmadon paced around in a large circle as he tried to figure out what to do. He had tried so many things to defeat the ninja. He had sent snakes, doppelgangers, sabotaged their dojo and still nothing. He had recently tried to release the Grundel onto Ninjago to destroy the ninja, but OF COURSE they had to be there to ruin his plans. He hated each one of the ninja with a burning passion.

Zane, to him, was merely just there. He was quiet and always sensed things or whatever robots do. He had never actually done anything personally, but still the guy needed to just back off.

Jay was just too loud for his liking. The boy never learned to be quiet and could talk nonstop for hours. Garmadon didn't have the patience or tolerance for him.

Cole was just plain annoying. He leads the team to his failures, and even when he tried to get a new crew it didn't work.

Kai. Now that one made his blood boil. The boy had a temper, was disrespectful, and always rushed into things. He hated him more personally, even if he saved his son.

And Lloyd. No, he didn't hate Lloyd at all. No matter what side Lloyd was on, Garmadon would never hate or harm his son. He wasn't about to lose his family.

The girl, Nya, and his brother, Wu, were both strong in their ways. They both were capable of handling things, but still weren't strong enough to defeat him.

"I need a way to destroy the ninja." He muttered under his breath.

"I have an idea!" Skales exclaimed from nearby. Garmadon hated the snake, but he had to admit that he could manage having him for a while.

"What is it?" He snapped coldly.

"Last time you used the Mega Weapon, it was on something to indirectly stop the ninja. What if we used it to directly stop them?"

"What do you mean?"

"I say we use that same power on them, and not have something else do the dirty work!" Skales smirked. Garmadon got a thoughtful look on his face before nodding. Yes, that made sense. The ninja were going to pay, and they were going to pay hard.

"There is no way you can beat me now!" Jay taunted. He and Kai had been playing videogames for the past hour to see who the best was. Kai had won the past 5 games in a row, and laughed victoriously when he added another win.

"This just proves that I'm the best." Kai smirked at Jay before shutting the game off. Jay sighed in annoyance.

"No, it just means you need a better hobby." Jay muttered causing Cole and Zane, who were watching nearby, to laugh.

Kai laughed sarcastically and lightly pushed Jay.

Lloyd walked in with a curious face.

"What's up?" He asked. Nobody had gotten used to the fact that Lloyd was around their age. He was actually a little bit taller than Jay and Kai.

"Nothing much. You ready to train?" Cole asked. Lloyd nodded, but before they could leave a loud alarm interrupted them.

The ninja all got over the shock and raced off to the main room. Nya was waiting by the large monitor.

"What's up sis?" Kai asked.

"Snake activity…and I'm pretty sure Garmadon too." She answered hesitantly. Lloyd shook his head in annoyance. Having his father on the other side was just…too much. He didn't want to face his father now, he just couldn't.

"You guys go; I'll stay and watch the ship." Lloyd stated.

"Are you sure Lloyd?" Zane asked.

"Yeah, I need more training anyway." He lied. The others nodded and ran off towards the deck. Their Ultimate Dragon flew by and picked up the ninja while Nya flew by with her suit.

"Be careful!" Lloyd cried after them. Don't do anything stupid Dad, he thought.

The ninja all sat on their dragon as it flew towards the village. Nya flew by in her Samurai suit.

Jay looked over at her and sighed dreamily.

Man, Nya is so cute, he thought, maybe I can ask her out to the movies or something tonight!

"Earth to Jay!" Cole shouted over the wind. (If you get this, pun is intended)

"W-what!?" Jay screamed when he was pulled back to reality.

"I said we need to split up. The snakes can be anywhere so you and Zane check the North and East side, and Kai and I'll check out South and West!" He ordered. The rest of the ninja nodded as their dragon landed.

"What about you Nya?" Jay asked while walking over to said girl.

"I'm checking from the air. Here, last night I made us some communicators just in case." Nya jumped out of her suit (she's in her body armor now) holding four communicators. They looked like regular watches but each one was a specific color. For instance, Jay had blue, Zane had white, etc.

"Good thinking Nya. Okay, you guys know what to do." Cole nodded to the team and he and Kai ran off.

"Good luck Nya!" Jay called after the girl when she flew off. Zane smiled slightly when they heard her giggle as she went up.

"I sense some chemistry going on." Zane smiled at his talkative friend. He had decided to keep the humor switch on to feel more like the guys.

Jay blushed and ran off.

"Jay North is the other way!" Zane called after him.

"I knew that!" Jay replied and bolted the other way. Zane chuckled and caught up with him.

Garmadon was hidden inside a small rundown house in the middle of the village. Skales had ordered all of the other generals to lead their snakes all around town. Once given the signal, they would all slowly make their way to the center of town, leading the ninja to the hidden Lord. Then the Mega Weapon would do the rest of the work. He couldn't wait for the plan to start. Then the fun would begin.

"Hey Cole?" Kai asked after they took a small break. They had seen no snakes so far, and they were pretty tired from the running.

"Yeah?"

"Are you sure there wasn't a malfunction or something? I haven't seen anything all day." Cole nodded his head in agreement. He turned on his communicator.

"Zane, you guys see anything?" He asked.

"No snakes in our area. Do you guys see anything?" Zane replied.

Cole sighed in annoyance. "Nothing. Nya, you sure there are snakes here?"

"Positive." Nya replied.

"Um…Cole?" Kai asked.

"Are you guys sure you don't see anything?" Cole asked in the communicator again.

"Cole…dude!" Kai persisted.

"Yeah, it's like they're invisible or something." Jay responded.

"COLE WILL YOU LOOK UP!?" Kai screamed. Cole looked at Kai in shock, and then gasped. Literally surrounding the two were the Hypnobrai and Venomari tribes.

"Oh…yeah, I think I found some snakes." Cole muttered into the communicator. Kai smacked Cole upside the head and pulled out his sword. He was still pissed that they didn't have the Golden Weapons anymore. Cole pulled out his Scythe and together they fought the tribes. Kai managed to kick one of the Venomari into some Hypnobria, taking down a total of five. Only fifty more to go, he thought.

Cole used his scythe like a bat and smacked any snakes that came too close. But they were overwhelmed by snakes and were easily surrounded. Cole grabbed Kai's hands (both had dropped their weapons) and swung him around in a tight circle. Kai kicked anyone who was too close, leaving them more room. They both did Spinjitzu and managed to get more room.

"Retreat!" They heard Skales cry out. The snakes all ran away, most screaming and waving their arms in the air.

"Should we let them go?" Kai asked Cole.

"No way are they getting away with this." Cole commanded.

"Oh…yeah, I think I found some snakes." Zane heard Cole mutter, and then the communicator when silent.

"What do you think he meant by that?" Jay asked him. Zane shrugged and looked around.

"I think I know what he meant." He answered. They saw the last two snake tribes (forgot the names…so yeah) coming out of nearby houses, trees, and sewer holes.

Jay gasped at the large amount of snakes, but got into a defensive stance. They both yanked out their weapons and did Spinjitzu. There fight was a little bit quicker when they heard a faint call of retreat from far away. The ninja wouldn't have noticed it if it weren't for the snakes running away. They just all sprinted off, screaming. Some even tripped when running, which made Jay chuckle.

"Do we just let them go?" Jay asked Zane.

"Guys, meet at the middle of the village. Kai and I are following them now!" Cole ordered over the communicator.

"Does that answer your question?" Zane asked sarcastically. Together he and Jay ran off to the middle of town, not knowing that they were headed for a trap.

The Earth and Fire ninja raced after the retreating snakes throughout the town. Even with their training they couldn't catch up to the usually slow snakes.

"Have they always been this fast?" Kai complained. His feet were killing him, and he knew he shouldn't have brushed off training earlier, but Jay challenged him at videogames. And I do not deny a challenge, Kai thought.

"They must've been training since the last time we saw them." Cole replied. He was getting tired too, but he couldn't let them get away.

"Cole, you sure about this", Kai questioned," we already won!"

"They're up to something! It's not like them to retreat so early. Keep moving!" He ordered.

Kai groaned in annoyance, but obeyed.

After a few more minutes of running the Fangpier and Constrictia tribes (thanks ninjagosilverninja1) came up from the sides and joined the other snakes. Zane and Jay appeared soon after them, and together all four ninja chased after the tribes.

"Hey…what's up?" Jay panted.

"Not the time for jokes Jay!" Cole pointed out.

"Cole, why are we even chasing after them? We are victorious." Zane asked in puzzlement.

"Thank you!" Kai muttered.

"They're up to something, and we are going to find out now."

While running Jay looked up to see Nya flying a little bit in front of them (though she was still around twenty feet in the air).

"Nya, you see anything?" Jay asked into the com.

"Just four colorful idiots chasing the snakes! What are you guys doing!?" Nya exclaimed into the com.

"Gee, you're too kind." Kai replied into his com.

"Looks like the snakes are headed for the middle of the village. Should I go down there with you?" Nya asked.

"It would be wise to have more reinforcements." Zane approved. They saw the Samurai suit slowly decrease in height until it was hovering above the floor next to the still running ninja.

"Has anyone seen any of the villagers?" Kai asked while looking around.

"I sense that they're all in their homes. They must've seen the snakes earlier and hid." Zane answered.

"See, smart people leave big snakes alone." Jay commented. Cole glared at him and he became quiet.

Before they knew it they had reached the middle of the village. It had a large fountain, a few rundown houses, and the rest were small shops.

The snakes all turned on the ninja and got into defensive stances. The generals stood in front of their tribe with their staffs. Each one was smirking, a look that made Kai want to punch them in the face.

Nya got out of her machine, since she wanted to practice fighting on her own, and she and the ninja got prepared for a fight.

"Sssssssoooooo you think you have won ninja?" Skales hissed with arrogance.

"Pretty much. I mean, you were the ones to retreat." Jay answered casually.

The other snakes hissed with laughter.

"Ssssssilly ninja, you fools have no idea"

The snakes all started to move to the side to leave an opening in the middle. Walking towards them was none other than Lord Garmadon. He had the Golden Weapon in his hand, and was sneering at the ninja.

"You see I've had some time to think-"He was interrupted when Skales gave a fake cough.

"We've been thinking about what to do with you little brats. We've tried force, sabotage, even having you attack yourselves and yet you still find a way. I'm sure you remember our last battle?"

The guys all thought back to that horrid time. They were one hundred percent sure the Garmadon and his little followers didn't know the full story. And they really wanted to keep it that way.

"And finally, I have the perfect solution!" Garmadon smirked and aimed his Mega Weapon to the ninja and Nya. They all got ready for a fight, not knowing what to expect.

"You see my last mistake was leaving something to attack you. It was a foolish plan with so many flaws, but now I have the ultimate plan! The true way to get rid of the ninja!"

The ninja (and Nya) all gasped and slowly back away from the snakes. They knew whatever Garmadon would wish for wouldn't be pretty.

"I wish the ninja were children! So they will never get in the way of my plans again!" Garmadon cried out. The weapon started to glow and shake with power. One of the ninja ran forward and grabbed the weapon to push it away from his friends.

Garmadon gasped as a large light burst through the air. The snakes and Lord G. ran off when the light died leaving three shocked ninja, one scared Samurai, and one six year old ninja.

THIS IS WHERE THE STORY 2 STARTS :D (Sorry, it's a short one)

Everyone watched as the now young ninja stood up shakily. He looked over to the spot where Garmadon had disappeared. Then he looked down at his small body, and finally up at his friends.

The very first heroic thing he did was...scream...

"Oh my god! I'm a kid again!" Jay screamed while running around in a large circle, waving his arms.

"Jay, calm down! Everything's going to be okay!" Cole tried to calm Jay down; but he might as well have asked Jay to not talk for a whole day.

"Why did I do that?! I could have just yelled duck! Oh god, oh god, oh god, oh-"

"Jay! Cole's right, you need to calm down." Nya interrupted. She walked over to the troubled ninja and kneeled down in front of him.

"How can I calm down?! You're almost taller than me sitting down!" Jay whined. Kai chuckled slightly when he noticed that; but with one disapproving glance from Zane he stopped.

"Now is not the time for laughing Kai. I sense that this can get very complicated." Zane informed the hot head.

"Zane's right. We should head back to the Bounty and ask Sensei for advice. He should know what to do." Cole informed his teammates. They all nodded and headed back to the dragons and Samurai suit. Jay jumped onto Wisp...only to fall right off. He was so tiny that he couldn't hold on tight enough.

"Jay, I think you should ride with me until we get this matter solved." Nya stated. Jay blushed as he walked over to Nya and got into the suit with her. He blushed even harder when they both fit in perfectly.

"So...is it too late to ask you if you wanna go see a movie?" He chuckled.

So we find out that Jay did it! :D

I can't wait to get this story rolling, I have most things planned out :)

The plot won't be the same as the first story so you won't get bored

Question of the Chapter (I miss doing these):

Which true potential do you think was/is the coolest?

Which true potential episode was the best is pretty much it!

Tell me in the reviews

ALSO, to Hope and Sarah: That's actually a pretty cool idea with the Gender Bender (and sorry that I couldn't use Lloyd), but I think that wouldn't fit in the series. Maybe I can make that story when the series is done or something :)

Check the poll on my site! :D
