"Misssss Graccce?"

"Yes?" The Ex-Water Ninja hummed as she looked up from her backpack, packing a few things.

"Where are you going?" one of the younger serpentine children asked her, tilting her head to the side.

Grace paused a moment, closing her bag..." I'm going to go to...Someplace very special to me."

"Can we come pleassse?"

"No dear, you and the others must stay, I'm going up to the surface." The female hummed, patting the child's head gently.

"Why are you going up there?"

"I have some research I need to do."

"Alright...Jusssst...Pleasssse be careful."

"I always am." Grace giggled, waving to the others as she left on her journey.


Kim-Ly blinked as she the doors to the elevator opened up...And blinked when she saw four old faces from the past carrying a golden statue..

"Kimmy?"

"...Kai?" She smiled, before giggling when she saw their clothes. "What are you guys wearing?"

"Hey..! Hey, you are looking at the very proud teachers of Sensei Wu's Academy...!" Jay frowned at her, making the woman laugh softly.

"Sensei Wu opened an Academy?"

"Yes I-"

"E-Excuse me." The man on robotic limbs at the other end of the room called out. "I-I think you all should be...Going..."

"Oh, yeah, sorry...!" The old Earth Ninja waved to him, looking to Kim-Ly. "Think you could lend a hand carrying this?"

"Step aside and let me show you boys how it's done." The hazel-eyed female smirked, easily carrying the statue into the elevator as the others got in with her.

"Guys...Something's wierd with Borg..." Kai whispered to the others as they re-entered the moving room.

Jay gave a disapproving glare to the old Fire Ninja. "They're called artificial limbs Kai. I know you hate machines, but you don't have to be rude. We're his guests."

"I mean...He was acting suspicious, like he was scared...He said we had to protect them with our lives..."

"Them?" Cole glanced at Kai as Kim-Ly shifted a bit, Jay accidentally bumping into her. "Them who?"

"I don't know but-" Kai turned around once the door closed, his elbow hitting Kim-Ly's, forcing her to drop the statue.

"Oh no...!"

"Oh great, now look at what you've done...!" Jay frowned at the Metal Ninja, who huffed at him indignantly.

"Well I wouldn't have needed to be the only one to carry it had you guys just Woman Up an-"

"Wait...It's hallow...There's something inside...!" Kim-Ly paused for Zane, looking down and realizing that he was right. In the hallow crevice within the statue was clothing and rather odd golden objects..

"Huh...Why would he give us new ninja outfits?" Cole questioned as he got the articles of colored cloth out... "Guys..I hate to admit it but...Maybe Kai's onto something."

"...And what exactly are these?" Kai asked as he picked up two of the golden objects, moments before sirens in the elevator started to go off.

-TECHNO BLADES LOCATED IN HAND. WOULD THE ASSAILANTS PLEASE STAND AND DROP THE TECHNO BLADES-

Dang that computer had a loud voice...

"First you call us pedestrians, and now we're assailants...?.!" Jay frowned, glaring at the red-flashing lights.

"Nothing works..!" Zane stated as he tried the buttons. "Perhaps a malfunction?"

"Let me try." Kim-Ly offered, and Zane stepped back...Before they all flinched when she picked up the statue and threw it at the door. "Huh...I really thought that would actually work."

"Guys...These must be the Techno Blades..!" Kai finally dawned on the conclusion as to the mystery items he was holding. "We have to protect them with our lives."

-HAVE IT YOUR WAY. GOODBYE.-

With that the five ninjas were left screaming as the elevator started to descend quickly, as if the line had been cut.

"LET THE ELEVATOR HAVE THE TECHNO BLADES KAI! I THINK IT MADE IT'S POINT!"

"WE HAVE TO GET OFF OF THIS THING!"

"WHY IS THAT WHENEVER I'M WITH YOU GUYS, I'M ALWAYS TRYING TO BE KILLED?.!" Kim-Ly screamed out after Jay and Cole put in their two-bits.

"GOING UP!" The others looked to Kai as he forced himself to the floor, before springing up and smashing open the Elevator's top panel.

"NINJAAAAA-GOOOOOO!" Four elemental tornados followed him out onto the roof, everyone trying to hold on...Before Zane spotted the on-coming elevator.

"THERE!"

All of them got ready...And jumped.


Bunny hummed as she swayed to the elevator music, smiling to herself. Huh, this wasn't so bad...Maybe elevators were alri-

She jumped when she heard a few large objects suddenly crash onto the top of her elevator...


"Looks like we just quit our day-jobs...!" Cole grinned as he passed out the ninja clothing, Jay going wide-eyed as he realized something.

"Oh my gosh, our students...!"

Kim-Ly frowned, popping open the elevator's roof...Before smiling down at the confused and startled Nature Ninja. "Heeeey Bun-Bun! Hope ya don't mind us dropping in."

"Hey..! Cheesy puns are my thing." Jay frowned at the Thuy girl, who rolled her eyes before simply pushing him into the elevator. "Ow...!"


Charlotte hummed as she carefully meditated before a few light candles...Only to gasp, standing up and running to her boyfriend. "Lloyd! Lloyd there's troub-...Is that my chocolate..?"

...The green ninja blinked, looking between the blonde and the chocolate bag in his hand.. "Uuuuh...No..?"

"...Oh you're gonna get it later, but first...! We need to go back to Ninjago City right now..!"

"Huh? Wh-"

"I'll explain on the way, just move!...And give me back my chocolate!"


Bunny and Kim-Ly both stood in front with Jay as soon as they got out of the elevator. Bunny's new suit was light brown with branches growing around the waist and making a winged design on the back. Kim-Ly's was silver with copper and gold intertwined up and down her arms and legs.

Bunny's techno blade had an odd spiral at the top, looking like an incomplete staff...While Kim-Ly's looked like..Well, like an over-sized wrench. The last one though was on the Metal Ninja's back, looking exactly like an over-sized stick with an odd little tube at the top. Tied to it was one of the other ninja suits that had been inside the statue.

"Heh, I gotta say it, I love the new threads...!" Oh Jay, dearest Jay...When large robots are coming towards you, sometimes it's best to just not talk. The large mechanical robots paused, pointing their lasers at the ninja.

"Oh yeah? Two can play at this game...!"

"Uh...Technically, we're kinda six people.." Bunny pointed out, looking to Kai as he and the others got into fighting stances...Only to look confused when the weapons didn't 'activate'.

"What's with these thing..?.! H-how do we turn them on..?.!"

"Batteries not included?" Kim-Ly offered to the others, shrugging at Kai as they retreated a bit..Before Zane looked up, seeing lights above them.

"Here, let me try..!" Yet the only thing that happened when he hit the connected pole with his techno blade was a dull clank sound. "It's not sharp..! Why even call it a blade..?.!"

They retreated more, pausing when they saw more of the robots...Before one of them fired, the laser barely missing them and hitting the window behind all six of them...They slowly turned and looked at the cracking window, only Jay getting a word in edgewise. "Oh snap-"

The air pressure forced them all out, with Cole being the only one able to get ahold of something, a fire hose...

"GRAB ON!" Zane grabbed Kim-Ly's hand as Jay got Bunny's, all the boys managed to grasp onto the hose as it began to swing back due to some resistance. "READY TO CRASH THE PARTY BOYS-?.!"

Cole was cut off when they all hit a window...Before yelling as they fell, only to be saved by a robot-using window cleaner.

"Ow...!" Jay whimpered when his techno blade fell and hit him on the head. The robot window-cleaner turned, green eyes turning red, beginning to atta-

Nope, Cole kicked it off. THIS. IS. NINJAGOOOOO!

"..Hey wait a minute..." Kim-Ly paled suddenly, feeling her back. "T-The other techno blade's gone..!"


Grace had been simply walking through New Ninjago City, wearing an all-black attire...When something hit her head. WIth a quirked eyebrow she bent down, picking up what looked like ninja attire...What wa-

She jumped out of the way, sensing an incoming object...Only to blink in confusion when she saw that it was just a golden rod...What in the-

-PEDESTRIAN- She looked over at an incoming robot. -HAND OVER THE TECHNO BLADE-

"Uuuuhm.."...Dang it, why did she always have to get in chaos left and right? What, was she in some kind of cartoon or something?...Dang it though. Usually large, moving, menacing robots were a bad-guy thing. So if a bad guy wants it then she had to protect it and-OH FORGET THIS! Grace took the clothes and the odd golden thing, before using her true potential to get out of the situation.


"And that's when Borg said that 'he' was listening." Kai finally finished explaining to the other ninjas as they manually brought the window-cleaner down the building.

"Do you really think that it's the Overlord?" The Lightning Ninja questioned his friend, before Cole threw in his own two cents.

"But how? We all saw Lloyd defeat him..!"

"Defeat yes, but can he be destroyed?" Zane wasn't given any time to receive an answer as one of the police copters came over and began inching closer to them.

"I don't know, but we can...!"

"Jay, shoosh!" Bunny huffed, slapping his shoulder. "There is no need to be negative!"

"Cole! Throw me!"

"Excuse me?" The Earth Ninja looked to his Nindroid-Human friend.

"THROW ME!" Cole gave no question, throwing Zane at the copter. The Ice Ninja grabbed onto the tail end, forcing it down and shooting it's rockets due to the momentum...Before he flipped onto the top of it.

Swiftly he pulled out his Techno Blade, a blue-white shard now within it, and struck the electronical device beneath him.

The copter was enveloped in an icy blue light, pixels flashing...Before a newly customized copter was in it's place, with Zane sitting cozy in the pilot seat.

"What's happened?" And Kai asked the million dollar question!

Bunny and Kim-Ly both looked to Jay for an answer. "The techno blade must have hacked the hover-coptor's system..! Zane controls it!"

"Okay...I take back everything I was thinking about these babies." Kim-Ly grinned in excitement as the guys chorused 'coooool'.


Grace gasped as she rushed into a large building, looking around. Man! Now she really wish that she had been able to get some sort of map...Stupid rebuilds and reconstruction...

-RETURN THE TECHNOBLADE-

"AH!" She screamed, running faster and through a few doors, only to give a grunt when she was slammed into by a robotic hand and hitting her back against some sort of machine.

She stumbled up and stepping onto some sort of heart pressure plate, moaning...Before pausing when she heard a robotic female voice. "Hello Grace, you are a strong, sensitive, and risk taking woman who knows just how to make her friends happy. Analyzing match now."

Grace blinked the odd swirls out of her eyes, rubbing them as she blinked back into vision... "Analyzing what now...?"

...She blinked in confusion though when a man she had never seen before's face popped up. A man with one-toned hair it seemed with a single stripe of another color in the middle of it all. Too bad these things didn't have color...

...

Okay then, yeah, she was seriously done with technology...

-INTRUDER, SET DOWN THE TECHNOBLADE-

Op! She had to run! And this time she ran outside. No way was she staying in there...She slipped through the robots with ease and rushed out of the city limits.


"WOOHOOOOO!" Kim-Ly grinned as she flew through the sky, having also captured one of the hovering copters, and clearing the streets of the rogue robots as the boys got their students.

Bunny was riding on top of the machine and doing all that she could to keep the robots off of Kim-Ly. "KIM-LY! BE CAREFUL!"

"I WANNA DO A LOOPTY-LOOP!"

"NO!"

"FIIIIIINE!"

The Nature Ninja sighed softly, before looking down and seeing the bus from before being attacked. With a grunt the blonde girl jumped from the flying device, hopping off of a out-of-control street light, before getting on the back of the offensive robot.

Her hand went into her ninja suit as she pulled out some plant seeds that had been placed inside...Before dropping them into the robot, and flipping off.

"NINJAAAAGO!" She cried out, activating her full potential, and from the robot sharp wooden tree limbs bursted. A few 'pings' later, and the mechanism was down for the count. "How's that for flower power? "

"Amazing...!" She blinked, turning around and looking at the cheering kids from within the school bus.

"You're wonderful miss Bunny!"

"Thank you so much!"

"We love you!"

Man...There was that feeling that she had missed so much...

She waved goodbye to the bus of departing students, and smiled as Kim-Ly came down. The two girls joined in on the group huddle between the other two ninja and Sensei Wu.

"Alright, so these techno blades can hack into their system...!" They could all tell Kai was grinning behind his mask.

"Sooo~ What do you say we do a little hack-attack?" Jay questioned his favorite team.

"Zane, Kai, you take to the skies. I want Cole and Jay on the ground. Kim-Ly and Bunny, go inside Borg Industries and help as many people as you can. I'll do what I can for the people."

"Ooo-ho-ho~! Anyone else feeling all tingly inside~?" Cole hummed out, making Bunny giggle.

"It's good to be back home."

"You said it Bun-Bun!" Kim-Ly grinned, before the seven of them separated.

Each of them nodded, doing their own Spinjitsu as they left. "NINJAAAA-GOOOO!"


"Kim-Ly! Come on!" Bunny yelled out as the two of them raced through the factory, already managing to get a few of the maintenance people out of there.

"Hold oooon! I...Bunny, Bunny come here."

"What is it...?" She ran back to the surveillance room, looking at Kim-Ly who was entranced with something she was watching.

"I...I think it's Grace..."

"Kim-Ly, you said that about everyone. That girl from the noodle hut, the one from the carnival, that other one from Mega Monster Amusement Park, even that one guy from that didn't barf on the roller coaster."

"He was wearing a wig-And look! I-I'm sure of it!"

Bunny frowned and entered, only to gasp softly when she saw the footage...It...It was Grace...Even her voice...

"..When was this?"

"A-A little while ago..."

"Do you think she's still here?"

"I-I don't know! Come on!" Kim-Ly exclaimed, grabbing Bunny's hand and racing to the room where the footage was taken.

~Small Time Skip~

"Okay...So..She stepped on this thing..." Bunny paused, stepping onto the heart and flinching when it started talking.

"Bunny, you are a woman of beauty and love. You see kindness and speak in a manner that is both refine and warm. Analyzing match now."

... "What?" Kim-Ly blinked in confusion, before looking even more confused when Kai's face appeared in the hologram... "..Let me try."

"Uh...O-Okay?" The Nature Ninja glanced around, switching out with Kim-Ly. "I don't think this is the time for-"

"Kim-Ly. You are a strong woman who does not need a man, yet you are very kind-spirited. You give strength to almost all around you. Analyzing Match now.."

"We've got time."

"Kimmy I-"

"We've got time."

Bunny sighed softly, frowning at her best friend. Kim-Ly may never admit it out loud...But Kai still meant the world to her...Yet they both paused when someone's face appea-

"HEY BUNNY LOOK OVER THERE!"

"WHA-" Bunny turned her head just in time to miss the image...Right before a metal bar crashed through the entire machine. "...KIM-LY!"

"It was uh...Like that..."

"How..?.!"

"...A dinosaur...?"

"...Kim-Ly."

"Oh hey look we better get going!" With that Kim-Ly raced off, making Bunny sigh as she ran after her. Honestly, was she the only sane one around here?.!

Both girls paused though as they were suddenly surrounded by large purple-coated robots as soon as they left the building. Both got out their technoblades, preparing to fight...

Only to pause when a large golden light enveloped them all...The red hues turning into green...

"..Charlotte..!" Bunny grinned, taking Kim-Ly's hand and running.


"Robots vs Ninja?" Lloyd grinned as he flew down, Charlotte right behind him.

"Should we ask?"

"CHARLOTTE!" Bunny tackled her 'younger' sister happily as the others soon followed swift in the giving of hugs...

Only for all of them to break apart when a voice interrupted them. -So, you couldn't help yourself, Golden Ninja~ We meet again.-

They all looked to several screens, where a purple fog with bright red eyes was glaring down at them.

"Overlord...!" Lloyd stepped forward, glaring up at the mist of colors. "I defeated you once, I'll defeat you again...!"

-Oooohhh I don't want to fight~- The robots began to move once more, glowing their lethal red hue. -I just want your power-

Lloyd moved to try and fight, only for Sensei Wu to block him. "No Lloyd, your power is only making them stronger...!"

"But how do we fight?" The green ninja asked in frustration, and lo and behold, Kai had the answer...

"We don't. We need to get you and the techno blades out of the city."

"I don't think he'll let us leave..!"

Kim-Ly nodded her head. "Cole's got a point..."

"I have an idea...But I don't have much time to explain...Listen close." They all huddled up to Sensei Wu, listening...Before finally they broke apart. With a nod to one another, they each performed their specific Spinjitsu.

"NINJAAAA-GO!"

Kim-Ly managed to get back her hover-craft of silver and copper, with Bunny and Charlotte getting in with her.

"I hope this works..!" Kai gulped through the intercom, and Zane just decided to shed a bit of sunshine and inspiration on them.

"A four point two percent chance of success...IIII'd say our hope is slime...!"

"That's why it's called hope, Zane." Charlotte hummed out, nodding to the others.

Kim-Ly didn't waste any minute to zoom through the city buildings, blocking out the Overlord. -The techno blades. FIND THEM-

Bunny breathed a sigh of relief though as the copter flew passed the last sky-scrapper, glancing back at their once beloved New Ninjago City... "Sensei Wu..."


The sun was already starting to rise when the ninja had manage to regroup in the desert, each still racing...

"We have to go back for him..!" Lloyd shouted in desperation, Kai nodding his head.

"We will, but only when you are safe...!"

"He wants these weapons, and for some reason he also wants you!" Cole interjected, before Kim-Ly stepped in.

"Remember, this was Sensei's plan, they can't break him..!"

"Yesterday is gone..." Bunny began softly quoting Sensei Wu. Tomorrow has yet to come. We need to worry about today."

"You said it Bun-Bun...!" Jay said after a small sigh.

"We will come back to New Ninjago City." Zane promised over their connection. "And when we do...We'll be ready."

"But for now we'll find someplace safe to hide, they'll be looking for us." Charlotte finished off, looking to the new rising sun.

It may have been too late to try and re-do yesterday...But the future was their's for the taking.


Mayhemb; I had originally planned to cut this in half...But then I decided 'nope~!', I'm gonna give it all! I didn't feel right splitting it up.

Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed, and I'll see you next time..! Love you all!
