Hey everyone! So, good news! New computer! Woo! So these stories should come along much faster! So, enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own Ninjago, just my OCs

The Devourer was defeated and everyone was cleaning the city, even the ninja.

The guys were straightening a street sign. Cole sighed as they got it into place. "Finally, all fixed up and serpentine free"

Kai tried to summon some fire to help weld the sign, but all he got were a couple of sparks. "Ug, this is frustrating!" The sign tipped and almost fell. Cole, Jay and Zane grabbed it before it fell. "Or weapons are gone, most of our elemental powers are gone! I mean we can still do spinjitzu, but..." He threw his hand out, but all her got was sparks. Zane took a welding torch and welded the sign before it fell again. "I just feel...I dunno...limited. And thanks to the Devourer, our tanks out of commission, our dragon is hurt, and since the bounty is destroyed, we don't even have a place to sleep!" "

Amanda walked over, hearing the conversation. "Relax Kai. We all know what we don't have. But we really need to look on the upside at what we do have"

Zane took off his welding mask. "Amanda is right. No one ever said being a hero is easy. Though our good deeds might now make us rich, we're rich in other ways"

"Well, I don't feel rich..."

Amanda put a hand on his shoulder. "You're only broke in money. Remember, you've got all of us, and remember what you can still do. It could be worse" Kai sighed and Amanda waited...but still nothing. What was this power she had?

Jay picked up a broken TV. "I for one enjoy pitching in. I always wanted to feel part of a community" He threw the TV in the trash. "Anyone seen Nya? She said she was gonna help"

"And I have!" She pulled up on her motorcycle, Wu in a side car, Sarah behind her.

"So that's where she went..." Kim mumbled.

Sarah jumped off when Nya stopped. "Sorry for taking off, but I figured Nya needed my help with what she was doing"

"We may have found us a place to live"

"Really? But there's a waiting list a mile long to live in Ninjago City. how'd you get us a place?"

"I know a guy who knows a girl-" Sarah waved with a smirk.

Kai nudged Cole. "You must be that guy she knows" Cole glared at him.

"-And she knows this girl who knows a guy. Well, this guy knows a girl who's a realistate agent and she can help you find a place. If you catch my drift" she handed them a pamphlet with the agent on there.

"My aunt knows people. I'm glad she could pull some strings"

"Any news on your parents?"

"Thankfully, they were out of town when this whole thing happen. They're safe"

Jay looked back to Nya. "So, where are you two going?"

Wu took a sip of tea. "We have to get a couple of components for the ninja tank. And the dragon ointment i ordered has finally arrived. It's a day's trip. But once we'll be back, he'll be flying once again"

"Why not take Breeze, or Ivy?"

"Pretty sure Ray wouldn't be opposed to it"

Wu shook his head. "Like you three, with helping to teach Lloyd now that he's the green ninja, they have the job of training Ashylnn as a dragon. she needs the training as much as Lloyd does. Plus, I love scenic drives. Punch it Nya!"

"Aye eye Sensei!"

"Oh, and Amanda is in charge" He turned to her. "Keep watch of everyone" They took off.

Sarah crossed her arms. "Why are you in charge?"

"Is there anyone else you trust?" Sarah opened her mouth and pouted. Jay looked at the pamphlet Nya gave him. "Patty Keys Realistate Queen. Huh, this is exactly what we need! Once we get a roof over our head, we can start properly training Lloyd!"

"Good. Cause if we know Lord Garmadon, he's not gonna be taking any breaks. Now let's not forget, the Serpentine are still at large"

The Serpentine were n the desert, near the wreckage of the bounty, under a rock ledge. "SSSerpentine! We've been exiled for the lassst time! Fear not, I will lead you!" Skales was making a speech about his ruling.

"Lead usss? To where?" One of the serpentine questioned him. "The CCCity of Ororborusss hasss been dessstroyed! We have no home!"

"You want to lead usss ssso badly. Why ssshould we trussst you?"

"Becaussse I wasss the one who told you in the firssst place not to awaken the Devourer! But nooo! You lissstened to Pythor!"

You want a home?" The serpentine turned and Garmadon was standing at the entrance. He smirked. "I'll give you a home?"

"Lord Garmadon!" They all saw that he was holding all the weapons.

"Forgive me. I haven't been myself lately. But now that I have the Golden Weapons, it's time i got back to my roots. If I'm going to rule Ninjago, I know I cant do it all by myself" He had their attention now. "The skeletons served their purpose...but i've always been partial to snakes. If you want someone to follow, follow me!"The snakes cheered.

"You want to follow me!" Skales yelled. "Not him!" they all looked at each other, then they all left.

They all stood in front of Garmadon. "You want a home? I give you a home!" He pointed the weapons to the wreckage of the bounty and sand swirled around it. When it settled, a new, but darker bounty was made.

"The power...of the weaponsss"

"I give you...The Black Bounty!" The snakes cheered.

"Imbecilesss! Do you not remember he wasss jussst helping the ninja?! Now you blindly follow him because of hisss wizardry?! He'sss not even a ssserpentine! Rule with me, and we rule asss brothersss!" Some of the snakes started to agree with him.

Garmadon scowled. "Rule with me..." The snakes turned back to him. He drew the Sword of Fire at one snake. "Or else" They all nodded and got on the ship.

"All hail Lord Garmadon!"

Skales growled and slammed his staff down. "Oh, darn!"

The ship was flying slowly through the air. "your eminenccce. Excussse my ignoranccce, But why are we flying in the opposssite direction of the ninja, when you have the golden weapons in your posssesssion?"

"Because they have my son. And it is written that one day he will defeat me. What good would turning Ninjago into my own image be, when that victory would be fleeting?"

"Then we desssstroy Lloyd!" Bad choice of words.

Garmadon growled. "Lock him in the brig!" He was dragged away. "No one will touch my son! But by getting rid of Wu, and those pesky ninja, and getting Ashlynn under my control, Lloyd will never reach his full potential. The prophecy will never be fulfilled. And Ninjago will be mine, forever!"

"Um...but why are we flying away?"

"Because, we are flying to the golden peaks. Birthplace of the golden weapons! Even they have secrets that have yet to be unlocked. And once i unlock their full potential, nothing will stand in our way"

"This one bedroom, one half bath is a cozy needs extra's when everything's in arm's reach?" The ninja were house hunting with the realistater. "Now, wait until you see the lightning!" she flipped the switch and the single bulb broke and fell to the floor. "Um...who need slights when you have this view!" She opened the window and it looked out to the wall. "um..."

"Uh...why do we smell old people?"

"Look doll, I'm trying to work around your budget, this is all you can afford" Ashlynn growled at her and she took a step back. "look, how about this? You take this place, i'll give you the one across the hall as a bundle deal, we've been trying to sell this place for months"

"Isn't that the room with the green stain on the wall?"

Sarah looked around. "Well...we can do...something with them"

"Yeah, this can be...promising. Remember guys, Sensei told us. Our main objective is to train Lloyd, not...kick our feet up in some swanky sweet. If this is all we can afford, this is all we can afford"

"Whoa whoa whoa! Let's not rush into any decisions. If it's really all about Lloyd, shouldn't we think about someplace that'll make his training easier?"

Amanda looked around the room. "Jay has a point...not much we can do with here, where we're all basically on top of one another"

"I also said you get the room across the hall for free!"

Kim leaned over to Sarah. "This is all your aunt could do?" she whispered.

Sarah shrugs. "Turns out a lot of people lost their homes and are staying in...better places than this while their homes are being rebuilt. This was the best thing she could do. It was either this or a guy that sells fishing shacks"

"since Lloyd is gong to be the one to defeat his father, shouldn't he get his own room?"

"Technically, that does not matter. Since he-" Kai elbowed him.

"We're only thinking about the children" Jay ruffled Lloyd and Ashlynn's heads.

"Don't touch me"

"Hm...well, i do have another property that I think you'll just love!"

The door opened and the ninja were in awe at the place.

"Now ,this is the eight bedroom Hero Suite. Floor to ceiling windows, digital wall television, state of the art game consoles-"

"Um, it's a little out of our price range"

"Oh, sure it costs a little more, but you deserve it! I also forgot to mention, there's a dragon keep on the roof"

"Seriously?"

"Nice!"

Amanda crossed her arms. "As nice as all this sounds...it's still too much"

"Maybe we could get a Hero Discount? After all, we are the ninja who saved the city"

"I thought Lord Garmadon saved the city?"

Sarah huffed. "Yeah, with our weapons..."

"We could get jobs. To pay for the extra expenses"

"We all said we could use a little extra responsibility"

"But what about training Lloyd?"

"did I mention the in house training facility?" Patty hit a button on a remote and in the room next over, a full fledged training room sprung up.

"We'll take it!"

The ninja basically started as soon as they could. Jay, with his speed, delivered pizzas. Cole, with his strength, protected a bank from robbers. Zane, with his cooking skills, worked at a restaurant, Kai, being...Kai, found a job as a birthday party entertainer. And the only job Amanda, Sarah and Km could get were tea serves at this new tea spot that had just opened and needed servers.

But they were just starting to realize just how bad of an idea this was...

Cole groaned as he put his feet in ice water. "My feet...I literally can't feel my feet!"

Kai sat on the couch, covered in dirt and shoe prints. "There were so many of them...and they wouldn't stop..."

Zane had a can of oil and was oiling his arm. "My gears locked up several times...I didn't even know my gears could lock up!"

Jay, laying on the floor in front of the TV, groaned. "I don't even have enough energy to play video games..."

The door opened and the girls, in kimonos, their shoes in hands, walked in. "I don't want to see another tea cut in my life after this!" Sarah stalked t the back ends of the apartment.

Kim sat down in a chair and Amanda sat on the couch next to Kai, after she dropped their day's pay in the jar. "Hopefully your guy's day was better than ours..."

"Ms. Tang's voice is gonna give me nightmares..."

Amanda looked at Kai. "although, it look's like you've had some trouble yourself..."

Lloyd and Ashlynn walked in. "I thought you guys were gonna train me when you go home?"

"Sorry champ, but we can't until we make rent. "How close are we Jay?"

"Is this jar getting bigger? We're not even close!"

"and our rent is due tomorrow..."

"What do we do?"

"We work harder tomorrow"

"I can call double shift"

"I can work overtime"

"Maybe I can sling a few more pizza pies"

Sarah walked in and leaned against the wall. "I guess we could do the lunch hour"

"You girls always visit us during lunch hour"

"Yeah, but we need this money"

Kai sat forward. "I can make a little extra if I do the human pinata..." everyone looked at him. "Don't ask..." Amanda rubbed his shoulder.

"Great, then our priorities are set. Tomorrow, we make rent"

"what about us?"

"Um...more ice?"

They sighed. Lloyd walked off to get more ice and Ashlynn put a hand on her hip. "We can help you know. You guys don't have to cushion us"

"You guys are too young to do something to help-"

"Dragon Back Rides" Lloyd and Ashlynn said it together as Lloyd walked back in with more ice.

"Dragon what now?"

"think about it. How many kids would love to ride a dragon, especially kid sized"

"Sounds like you two have been talking this out...but you can't do it"

"Why not?"

Amanda crossed her arms. "Lloyd, your father is still out there, with our golden weapons. The Serpentine are still at large, planning who knows what and Ashlynn, you haven't had any training yet. You can't even fly yet, let alone know how to defend you two"

"Who's gonna mess with a dragon regardless? no one"

Amanda shook her head. "No. You two need to stay here, where it's safe"

The serpentine generals were in the old subway station, hatching a new plan. "Our fellow ssserpentine follow Garmadon. We're going to have to do sssomething diabolical if we're going to earn their ressspect to win them back. Let'sss brainssstorm ideasss on how we can do that"

"Releassse the Devourer!"

"No you idiot! We've already done that!"

"Realeassse a ssswarm of evil beesss!"

"Where would we even get evil beesss?"

"I don't hear you offering any ideasss!"

Skales groaned.

Jay hopped off his motorcycle and ran up to the pizza place. The owner had pizzas ready. "Pizza delivery. 21st in Union. Get there in time or else it's on you"

Jay took the pizzas. "How much time is left?"

"Five minutes"

"But i'll never get across town in five minutes!"

"Then I guess it come out of your pocket. Now get going!"

Jay took off. He weaved in and out of traffic. He was coming up on a cross section when a truck drove by. "whoa!" He then slide sideways under it, caught something and straightened up. He breathed a sigh of relief and kept going. He was driving when...

"Help! Help!" He looked in his review mirror and saw a woman being mugged. He stopped and saw her being dragged into an alley. He check to see the time..."Help!" Screw the time, someone's in trouble!

He drove into the alleyway. "What's going on?"

"Mind your own business ninja!" Three thugs with blades were stealing the woman's purse.

"No way!"

"It's three blades against none!"

Jay revved and drove towards them. They started to run. Jay then drove on a wall, and got ahead of them. He landed in front of them and they turned around, running the other way. He drove off after them. he then caught a ramp and flew through the air. He landed on them, pinning them down.

He picked up the woman's purse. "Thank you..." He handed it back. "Pizza ninja" He nodded and drove off.

Jay looked around at the empty lots on the edge of town. This can't be the place...He saw a man walking by. "Excuse me. Isn't this 21st and Union?"

"Sure is. But nothing's been built here in ages" The man kept walking.

"Hm..." Jay got off and picked up the pizzas. "Hello? anyone here?"

"Ssso..." Jay heard something and looked over. Looked like an open manhole cover. "after you rob the bank, we embark on phassse two! Geniusss!"

"But bosss. When are we going to get pizza? I'm hungry!"

"Rob the bank?"

Something grabbed Jay from behind and put a blade to his throat. "where do you think you're going?" The venomari general smiled. "We haven't given you you're...tip"

The train started and took off down the tracks. They left Jay tied up against the wall. "C'mon Jay...you gotta warn the others! You can make your way out of this!" He started to squirm. but...no dice. "Okay...maybe not..." He looked over and saw their plans. "So that's the serpentine master plan! Wicked!" He took a deep breath and squirmed, finally managing to get up. He hopped his way down the track to find the others. "Guys! I'm coming! Hopefully Cole can stop the bank robbery"

At the bank, Cole was leaning against the wall, napping. The door opened and his boss came out. "Everything okay?"

Cole jumped awake and quickly put on a smile. "N-Nothing out of the ordinary boss!"

"Thanks for taking the double shift" He went back in.

"My pleasure. Now..." He yawned. "For a little...beauty rest..." He fell back asleep.

There was a rumble, then the alarm went off. The generals had erupted through the floor of the safe.

"Take it all"

"SSShouldn't we wait for SSSkalesss?"

"No you fool, he'sss carrying out the ressst of the misssion!"

"oh yeah" They grabbed all the money bags they could.

"Let'sss get out of here!" They jumped back down the hole. Cole ran in just as they were gone. "Let'sss take the sssubway!"

"Subway?"

a balloon popped in Kai's face and he sighed. He grabbed another one...as police cars were driving by. "Trouble? Sounds like they need me!" He was about to run off when the mother grabbed him.

"Not so fast! I still have you for another hour!"

"But they need me! People are in danger!"

She turned and pointed at her kid. "Not until my son is done playing!" Shen she turned back, all she had were balloons in her hand. Kai was running off. "YOU'RE FIRED!"

Zane was at his restaurant when some of the customers started talking about the robbery. "It's true. At the bank, they stole all the money. And no one's doing anything to stop them!"

Zane wasn't paying attention...when the kid in front of him started crying. Zane had accidentally put his food on his head. "I-I'm sorry!"

The owner came out and scowled. "YOU'RE FIRED!"

"I-It must be my hard drive over heating..." Some of his face was starting to peel off. "I-I mean, nevermind..." Everyone was giving him looks. "I'm going!" He ran out.

"And here you officers go" Amanda set down some tea and moon cakes in front of some officers.

"Thanks doll. Say..." One of them smiled. "I bet working here must be a cushy job, huh?"

Amanda put on her nicest fake smile. "Oh, it can...have it's moments"

"Yeah, being a police officer isn't easy too. It takes bravery, honesty..." He smiled and leaned forward. "Loyalty"

Amanda was about to say something when their radios turned on. "All units, we have a code 211A. All units please respond"

"Sorry sweetheart, we gotta roll"

"Put a tab and we'll come back" They took off. Amanda frowned. She had a bad feeling about this.

She went and found Kim and Sarah. "Either of you know what a code 211A is?"

"Bank robbery. Why?"

"They apparently called all units to handle it"

Kim cleaned up a table. "It's not uncommon for a robbery to happen every now and then"

But why everyone? I have a bad feeling about this..."

"Bank robbery...Cole! He's there! If they're calling units...We have to go, what if something is wrong!"

"Alright, c'mon!" They when to leave when a large woman stopped them.

"And wheeeeeere do you think you're goin'?!"

"Ms. Tang, we have yo go. There's a robbery going on and my boyfriend-!"

"I don't care! You offered to work the lunch hour and you're working the lunch hour!"

Sarah scowled. "Listen, I-"

"I don't care if it's you're sick grandmama! You're gonna work, be pretty, and serve some tea!" Ms. Tang poked Sarah hard in the chest. "Am I clear on that, doll face!"

Sarah froze. Amanda and Kim took a step back, this wasn't going to be pretty...

All three ran out, then Ms. Tang came out, covered in tea and a little blood, scowling like a fierce animal. "YOU'RE FIRED!"

Kim laughed. "Sarah you could be arrested!"

"Only if she catches us! C'mon!"

"Hopefully she'll be okay, you hit her pretty hard with that tea pot"

"Her fault, let's go!"

At the bank, Cole was talking with his boss. "I'll make it up to you, I swear!"

"Mmm...no. Why don't you go home and get a good nights rest. In fact, go and sleep in. Sleep all day for all I care, because YOU'RE FIRED!" He stalked back in.

Kai and Zane walked up. "Looks like we're all in the same boat"

"It's fine, I hated that job anyway..." Cole looked around. "Guess the girls haven't heard yet-"

"Cole!" Sarah tackle hugged him. "Oh god, you're okay!"

Amanda and Kim came up. "What happened?"

"Bank robbery. They came up through the floor. And they're getting away!"

"Which way did they go?"

"I heard something about them taking the subway"

"Cool call. Let's go!" They all ran off to the subway station.

"Ninja-go!" They did their spinjitzu, doning their ninja gear on.

"Has anyone seen Jay?"

Jay huffed for breath and looked around. "Hello! Anyone? Oh I think I picked the wrong track...I hope I see someone soon"

Meanwhile, the others were above the track. They saw the train coming. It came by and they jumped on.

"Sssoundsss like we have company boysss!"

"But I only heard sssix. Aren't there ssseven?"

"No ssstupid-"

"-We caught one of them"

Cole looked around the train. "Isn't there an easier way inside!"

"Not without a ticket!"

"What do we do then?!"

Kai looked around, then the ceiling burst open and Kai was dragged down. "Kai!" Amanda jumped in behind him.

"Looks like Kai found our way in"

Cole put his arm forward. "Ladies first"

Sarah put a hand on her chest. "How sweet, you're giving me the first chance to kick butt" She jumped in, Kim behind her, then Cole and Zane jumped in.

When they were in, the Constrictai General had Kai, and the Fangpyre had Amanda cornered. "Welcome to the part-!" Kai elbowed him.

The Venomari slithered up to Zane and Cole. "Care for a drink?" He spit in Zane's face. Cole and Zane fell back, just as Kim kicked him away.

"You okay?"

"Yes, venom can't-" the venomari got up and again and hit Zane with his staff. "But, that stings a little"

It was hard to fight when they were in a closed space like this. And no weapons. "It's hard to fight these guys with no weapons!"

"Keep fighting. We can't let them get away!" Amanda took a deep breath and body slammed the Fangpyre into a window, breaking it.

"Get away?-"

"-We aren't trying to get away! We're just trying to dissstract you long enough ssso that SSSkalesss can kidnap Lloyd and Assshlynn!"

"What?!"

"No!"

"We could care lessss about the money! We jussst wanted the children. Who'sss the fool now!"

Lloyd and Ashlynn were playing games back at the apartment. The score came up on screen. "You beat me again!"

Ashlynn smiled. "For someone who's played more games than me, you're pretty bad at this" they started a new game.

Meanwhile, Skales was outside the window, on a window cleaning station. Lloyd was playing, then saw something on screen...it was Skales.

"Wah!" They jerked towards the window as Skales knocked on the window. "Hello children"

"Help!" they ran for the door and tried to open it. Ashlynn hit buttons, trying to open it.

"Bing bing...the door is locked"

"We know! we want it open!"

Skales carved a circle in the glass with his staff and pushed it in. They turned towards him. Ashlynn couldn't shift, she hasn't doe it enough to do it quickly, she needed more time!

"What do you want with us?!"

"You ssseem to be the only thing your father caresss about! But with you asss my hossstage, he'll have choiccce but to let me lead the ssserpentine!" Ashlynn growled and stepped in front of Lloyd, but them Skales push her against the wall with his staff, the top of it at her throat. "It'sss alssso niccce to have the lassst known Dragon SSShifter asss a pet!" Skales leered over Lloyd. "Let'sss...train"

There was a knocking at the door. "Hello?" Sensei and Nya! "What's going on in there?"

"HELP!"

The ninja were still fighting the generals in the train.

"We need to save Lloyd and Ashlynn!"

"Hard to do when we're here!" Sarah ducked a punch. "Any ideas?"

"Give me a weapon and i'll take care of these snakes!"

Zane looked up and got an idea. "Who needs weapons when you can make your own!" He grabbed the metal ring holding the bards and threw it, hitting the contrictai general.

"Smart thinking Zane!" Cole and Sarah grabbed the bottom bars and tore them off.

"Kai!" Amanda threw a bar at him and he caught it. The generals were nervous now. Kai hit the Constrictai general into a wall and Amanda hit the fangpyre in between the heads with another bar.

"T-Thisss was all a big misssunderssstanding!"

"Oh really?"

"Hey guys! I think we found Jay!" Cole and Sarah were looking out the window ahead of the train.

Jay was still hoping when he saw a light. "Finally a way out!" Then he saw the light getting closer and realized it was a train...coming right for him. He screamed and hopped as fast as he could away from them. "Not good, not good, not good!"

Sarah, Kim, Cole and Zane ran to the front of the train. It was empty. "Where's the driver?!"

"the train appears to be automatically controlled!"

"So it won't stop?!"

Kim looked around and saw a panel. "Pull the brake! Sarah, over here!"

Zane pulled the brake and Sarah broke into the control panel. Kim stuck her bar in and tried to stop it from moving further, as a second brake, but it wasn't quite enough.

"We need to hurry before he's a Jay-cake!" Sarah helped pull Kim's bar and Cole helped Zane.

"It's not slowing down!"

Kai and Amanda were holding the snakes hostage, hearing everything. "Kai, they need our help!"

"You ssshould lisssten to her" Kai glared at the general.

"We're not strong enough!"

"Kai...we'll get them another day. We need to help them"

Kai looked back and forth...then sighed. "We're coming!" They dropped their bars and ran to the front car. The generals went up the hole they made.

Jay turned to look at the train, then fell. The train wasn't slowing down. Kai and Amanda got to the front and helped.

"Together!"

"Pull!" everyone pulled on a lever, trying to slow the train down. It was screeching and groaning, sparks flying off the wheels. Jay closed his eyes and the train came closer...Then it screeched to a halt. Everyone sighed.

Jay took a gasping, relived breath. "There you guys are!" He wiggled, trying to move. "Um...I could use a little help here, heh heh..."

They all went back to the apartment. "Lloyd? Ashlynn?"

"They're...not here..."

"We shouldn't have left them!"

"We shouldn't have taken those jobs in the first place, we shouldn't have even have gotten this apartment!"

"What were we thinking? Losing Lloyd and Ashlynn is by far our greatest lost!"

"But it could be you greatest lesson" They all turned. Wu and Nya were at the door with Lloyd and Ashlynn.

"Lloyd!"

"Ashlynn! You're okay!"

"Barely. Thanks to Sensei and Nya"

"I go away for a day and everything falls apart"

Sarah smirked. "So much for Amanda being in charge"

Amanda sighed. "You have the right to make fun of me, I wasn't doing a very good job"

"I guess we all learned we don't need all the fancy stuff. We just need each other"

"You want us to help you clean up?"

"We are a team"

"Looks like another road trip Nya"

"Hang on. I have a better idea"

The ninja were all moving into the two small apartments.

"It's not much but this one bedroom half bath. Is a cozy dream. Who needs extras when everything's in arms reach?"

Sarah, moving stuff into the room across the hall, called out. "You should go into realisate Cole. You've seem to have all the sales pitch lines memorized" Cole laughed.

Lloyd, bring in a chair and he couldn't see, bumped Jay. "Hey!" Jay dropped the box, causing Kai to drop it...on his foot.

"OW!"

Jay chuckled. "Feels like home to me. And hey, at least we get to stay in Ninjago city for a little while"

"And now without distractions, we can put all of our time into training Lloyd" Lloyd bumped him with the chair.

"Who's there?" Zane helped guide Lloyd.

"I know most of the serpentine generals got away, but you never told us. What happened to Skales?"

"Oh, he found a home too. But it's not quite as roomy as here"

Skales was in prison. "Mark my wordsss! Thisss won't be the lassst you sssee of me!"

"Lights out!"

"Oh, very funny! You'll rue the day you made a fool of me!"

Meanwhile, Garmadon had finally made it to the golden peaks. He walked to the edge, holding all the weapons. "The Golden Peaks...birthplace of the golden weapons!" He held them up and they glowed. Golden lava formed a sphere and floated it's way up to Garmadon. It sucked the weapons away from him and absorbed them. "It's working"

There was a flash, and when it died down, there was a new weapon. It floated down to Garmadon. He grabbed in...then screamed in pain. "You're eminenccce!Are you okay?!"

Garmadon gasped for breath. "Yes...in fact...I've never felt more powerful! Now, to destroy the ninja! Once and for all!" He cackled.

The ninja were all asleep. Wu sat in the middle of the room, an candle burning. The wick suddenly blew out and Wu opened his eyes. "I feel there is a great disturbance in the force..."

He was about to light the candle, when he eard something outside the door. He quietly got up and went to it opening it to see..."Amanda?" She was standing there, her hand raised to knock on the door...her eyes red and wet with tears, a look of fear on her face. "Amanda, what is-?" she hugged him, tightly. He stood there a second until he hugged her back. "You had the dream again"

"Why Sensei? Why does that dream still happen? It happens every time something...awful is going to happen..."

"It's your Spirit Sight's way of telling you...something awful is going to happen" He held her at arm's length. "Your gift is a unique one. And that experience has changed it. It let's you know that something will happen...and now we can prepare for it" He kissed her forehead. "Go rest. you have a day of teaching tomorrow"

She rubbed her arms. "I'm going to sit on the roof. The winds are active here...maybe I can try and pick something up..." She walked away. Wu walked back in the room...

"What dream does she keep having?" Wu looked over and Kai was sitting up.

"That is something you have to ask her...but not tonight. She needs to relax, and be alone. I know you intend to help her...but the time for help always comes when it doesn't seem like they need it" Wu sat down. "And we might need that help soon..."

Done! Wow, okay! I am so sorry for being so long with this! I will try to work on this more, i'm sorry! Anyway, i was gonna make this longer, but I decided not to, it was dragging. Maybe I'll make that talk a short story-speaking of short story, I will have the new one up here soon ,I wanted this chapter up first, I will get to work on that. Thank you all for being patient with me, I am trying my best with these. Hope you enjoyed the first chapter!
