Okay, I would just like to say that if there's anyone out there reading this...PLEASE POST SOME REVIEWS! I have no idea what anyone thinks about this! That's part of the reason why I'm updating so soon, the other part is, we need to get into at least chapter 5 of this story to understand some of the references made in the new update of December 21st.

And for all of you out there wondering, no, I am not going insane. I spent about four days making up a language I call Ninjagoian, so that this story can have a conflict on top of a conflict. Exciting huh? At the beginning of this chapter, I will mark where this starts, you can see the earlier conversation with Aryan replayed over so you can translate what they were saying the first time.

Also, feel like it's fair to warn you that NONE OF THE FOLLOWING STUFF IS YAOI! They're normal teenage boys (with the exception of Zane) they say some weird things. Sorry boys out there, but you know it's true.

As always, NINJAGO: MASTERS OF SPINJITZU AND ANY CHARACTERS ASSOCIATED WITH IT BELONG TO LEGO AND OTHER VARIOUS CREATORS. I ONLY OWN MY OC ARYAN AND THE LANGUAGE USED IN THIS FIC.

Cole's POV

Why the hell did Sensei want this little troublemaker anyway? One minute, the boys and I are training and getting to know one another since we had just gotten a new member, Kai, the next, we rushed to Sensei's room when a loud siren began to play throughout the Monastery.

"Sensei!" Jay yelled as he pulled open the screen to his room, trying to project louder than the siren. "What's going on?" Sensei very calmly got up off the bamboo mat he had previously been meditating on, and pushed a small switch close to the mirror on his wall. The siren immediately stopped and we looked over at him for an explanation. Without turning to look at us, Sensei began to pull scrolls out of his cabinet and place them in a large, burlap sack. The four of us just stood there awkwardly as we watched the old man shuffle from one side of the room to the other, with new things to place in his sack.

"Uh, Sensei?" Kai said, with a large amount of uncertainty in his voice. He still didn't say anything as the man came back to his sack with another item, placed it in, then pulled the sting until the large mouth of the sack closed up. He quickly turned to look at us.

"We're going on a trip, boys." All of us looked at one another, a trip? What were we? Tourists? "A trip," the old man continued, "to retrieve the Elemental Weapons." I didn't need to look around to know that my team had just gotten excited. I bowed my head slightly.

"Yes, Sensei. We will pack right away." We all turned to leave.

"Wait." We slowly shuffled back around to look at him and I crossed my arms. He pretended not to notice my attitude, and continued on. "I will pack a bag for the four of you, meanwhile, I need you to listen closely and listen well." Zane, who had not said anything this entire time, looked concerned.

"Is something wrong, Sensei."

"No." He spoke a little too quickly. I gave him a skeptical look and he looked down. "Sorry, it's just that time is of the essence. Now, pay attention." We all nodded slightly, letting him know we understood. "First, I need the four of you to go and change out of your colored ninja suits and lay them down on your bed. Cole, Jay, Zane, change back into the black suits you originally started training in, Kai, we will get one for you as well. Then, I need you to journey out into the desert, there is something I need for you to pick up something for me."

"Woah, woah, woah." Jay cut in. "There's nothing in the desert at this time of night." We all turned to look at him, throwing him our dirtiest looks. "Sorry." He mumbled before he let Sensei continue.

"Right then, you will then bring this package to the docks at dawn, there will be a small boat waiting for you there. We cannot make this journey without it, but I feel it's fair to warn you." We all leaned in slightly, suddenly interested. He leaned in as well. "The package will not come easily, no matter your approach. You must be tough and cruel, you must establish your authority. She will fight, and she will not back down. You must get her to me, one way or the other, but I want, I need, her alive. Do you understand?"

"Yes Sensei." We all bowed slightly and spoke in monotone, but I know we were all thinking the same thing. She? What we were picking up was a girl? But we all quickly shook it off, knowing Sensei wouldn't tell us any more information, and we all turned to leave. Being the last one out the door, I gently pulled the door shut.

"Cole?" I pulled the door back open and faced the old man, he had a small smile playing on his lips. "I would like to tell you this, now this is for you, and you alone." I nodded slightly, trying not to let my nervousness show. "Do not judge her too quickly. Though I sense she will be arrogant and rebellious, she is like you in more ways than you know." With that, the old man reached over and pulled the door shut. I just stood there for what seemed like ages, trying to make since of what he had said. With a quick shake of my head, I walked down the hall into my room to change.

Kai's POV

We were all really quiet as we began our journey out into the desert. I glanced over at my new family, I guess it was cool to finally have some boys to talk to, but they were no Nya. Speaking of, I miss her so much, and it doesn't help that Mister Lightning over there is getting too big for his britches. He could never get any one like my sister. But then again, the world was a strange place.

"So," I began, trying to break the awkward silence, "any of you seeing anyone?" Cole's head snapped over toward me.

"And why is that relevant, exactly?" I shrugged.

"Just trying to smooth the tension." We continued on for a few more moments, the silence was now more awkward then it had been before.

"No. I'm not seeing anyone." I glanced back over at Cole. I let my eyes skim his muscular frame and I thought about what his face looked like under the mask.

"Really?" Jay said, the surprise evident in his voice, he obviously must have been thinking the same thing as me. I'm not a girl and even by my standard, Cole was pretty attractive. He turned to Jay.

"Something wrong, Sparky?" Jay held up his hands defensively.

"Hey man, didn't mean to tread on thin ice there." Speaking of ice, Zane quickly spoke up.

"I believe Jay was expressing surprise to the fact you are not currently seeing anyone, seeing that most girls find a man with your qualities to be attractive." Cole quickly looked down, he was obviously embarrassed.

"Well, what about you then, Zane?" I asked, trying to pull the attention away from Cole, since I had obviously made things more awkward. Zane's blue eyes looked over at all of us and the expectant looks in our eyes. He quickly looked away.

"I find the interest most males have in females to be...impractical." The three of us quickly stopped, Zane continued on a little bit. When he realized we had stopped, he quickly backtracked to us. "What is it, brothers?"

"Impractical?"Cole started. "You find it to be impractical." Zane looked to all of us, the confusion apparent in his eyes.

"What the hell, man?" Jay said slowly. Zane began to speak as we began to walk again.

"It is just that I have seen so many people be unhappy when with a member of the opposite sex, especially if they have formed an emotional bond with them."

"Zane," I spoke up quickly, "I guarantee that you'll feel differently when you meet the one you're gonna be with."

"And how will I know when and who that is?" I thought about this for a little while, then I spoke again.

"Well, you get this feeling. Like you want to be around her all the time, and you feel really, I don't know, fuzzy inside." Zane got a panicked tone.

"So I am going to grow hair inside my body?" I rolled my eyes.

"Okay, forgetting that little conversation, Zane, despite the fact that you think I get lots of girls, you'll get a lot too." Cole said.

"How so?" Zane stated. "According to the social normality, I am considered...weird. If this were a high school, you three would do your best to avoid me." Jay closed his eyes and began to massage his temples.

"How many of those damn movies have you been watching?"

"Look Zane," Cole spoke up again, " Your...mysterious. Girls dig that, plus your really, really good looking." Jay's and my head snapped to the side. "I mean, if I was a girl." Cole spoke quickly, realizing how that sounded.

"We are so done with this conversation." I said, shaking my head. This was getting weird. Then, my head shot up. "Speaking of mysterious, we've been living together for almost a week and I know absolutely nothing about you." The three quietly considered this, then Jay spoke up.

"Walker." I looked over at him.

"Huh?" He shrugged.

"My last name. It's Walker."

"Oh, okay." I commented. "Mine's Ignis."

"Brookestone." Cole mumbled quietly.

"My surname is Julian." Zane said with a little bit of uncertainty.

"Yeah, this is good!" I said with a smile. "Y'all got middle names?" One by one, we all began to rattle them off. Jay's was Edward after his father, Cole's was Stewart after his uncle, Mine is Lee after my grandfather, and Zane's was Thomas. Just as I was about to ask if they were called by a nickname like I was, Zane, who was leading the way, held up an arm to stop us. We all looked at him, his eyes were darting around, thought the moon was full, it was still relatively dark. He turned to look at us.

"They're is something up ahead," he spoke quietly, "something that was not there four seconds ago."

Zane's POV

I do not know what it was, or how it got there, but something was up ahead. Cole looked at us and made quick gestures with his hand. The first one told us to surround it, the second was an order for me to disarm it. I nodded slightly, and we all split up. I ran around and climbed on top of a dune and raised a shuriken above my head and threw it hard. Whatever I hit let out a cry of pain and a loud curse. My brothers and I took this as a signal to move in, we all grew closer and closer and Cole held his hand up for us to stop, just as a small figure emerged from the darkness and ran right into me.

I glanced down at the small girl, who was gingerly rubbing her head. I looked her up and down, alone she would have looked harmless, but the fact that her dark outfit was completely soaked through with blood made you think otherwise. She got back up quickly and opened her eyes, letting her surprise show as she saw me. I reached up and grabbed my returning shuriken and she narrowed her dark eyes at me. She quickly spun around, taking in each of us and each of our weapons. Cole took a step forward.

"Oleald insto morath?" Jay, Kai and I glanced surprised at Cole. He had just used the ancient language on Ninjagoian to talk to her, oleald insto morath, which translates to who are you. The look on her small features surprised us all the most, for it was...confusion.

"Uh, what?" She spoke, the concern growing in her eyes. Kai quickly leaned over to Jay.

"She doesn't understand." He whispered hurriedly. He had also used Ninjagoian. We all looked around at each other. She didn't speak Ninjagoian.

She wasn't from Ninjago. Then where? Ninjago was an island, almost impossible to reach.

There was something odd about her appearance, though she was in a fighting stance, she hid her left shoulder behind the rest of her body. I hesitantly walked toward her, and she turned to face me. She did nothing but stare as placed my hand on her shoulder and pulled it to where I could see it. Embedded deep within her flesh was a large, rust covered nail.

"She is wounded." I called to Cole, using Ninjagoian as the others' had.

"Quiet, Zane!" Cole snapped. I could tell he was worried about her place of origin. He began to walk towards me and I held up a hand to stop him. I had to remove this nail, and I had to do it quick. Without even thinking, I reached down and ripped it out.

And with every action, comes a reaction.

She slammed her elbow up into my jaw, the force of the blow knocking me backwards. I watched in horror as she began to fight, and the other's fought back. I nearly screamed as Jay used her injury against her to knock her to the ground, and Kai pulled her up, ripping the broken flesh on her shoulder. He pushed her up towards Cole, who immediately asked who she was again. The girl sneered.

"Go to hell." She mumbled quietly and I stood up in time to watch her spit in his face. Long gone was the easy going Cole we had seen in the desert, he had been replaced by the hard leader. I closed my eyes and waited for the inevitable sound of his hand connecting with her face, but it never came. Instead, I was met with the sound of him shouting at Jay, and the hard sound of his elbow hitting the base of her neck. I walked up at she slumped forward and Cole shot a glare at me, his eyes traveling to my obviously bruised jawline.

"Since you were so intent of helping," he said as Kai dropped the girl, "you carry her." And with that, he and the others stalked off, leaving me to haul her up in my arms. Though she had attacked us, I could not help but mutter an apology as we walked toward the docks, where a small boat was waiting for us. Sensei told the others' to clean up, then showed me to a small room with a table in it below deck. He gestured for me to put the girl down, so I did. He walked around the table a few time, then looked up at me.

"She needs stitches, and a Tetnis shot, but she'll live." He walked out of the room, leaving me alone with her. I walked over next to the table and looked down. She was relatively tan, and she had dark hair that was covering her face. I gently reached out and pushed it off. She looked pained and peaceful at the same time. My eyes traveled to her blood soaked outfit and I noticed a blue infinity sign across her chest that I could not make out in the dark of the night.

"Zane." I turned to Sensei, who was holding a white first aid kit in his hand. "You should clean up as well, your room is just down the hall. I nodded slightly and ran out of the room. I ran into the first open room and locked the door. I turned around and slid down the wooden frame, trying to swallow down the unwelcome feelings in my throat and stomach.

I believe Kai described them as fuzzy.
