Chapter 2-Symbolism
Kai's P.O.V.
"I don't care! You knew what would happen!" I screamed. To my horror Jay had once again ruined my perfect morning. "Jay! I told you to go sleep outside last night. Did you listen to me? NO! You went and slept in Nya's room!" I barely took into consideration that my poor sister was slumped against the wall trying to cover herself.
"But she..."
"No buts!"
Jay grumbled and took his stuff out. He lumbered across the room, stuck out his tongue at me, and left. "JAY!" Oh he is going to get it! "Kai! Stop." I tried to move but Nya held me fast. She was hugging my arms like they were her teddy bears, or like Jay... I shook my head. He had already broken her heart once, I was not going to let it happen again. Not after she died...
"Come on and cool off. Go take a shower or something." She shoved me in her bathroom. "Stupid little sisters thinking that their moms." I slammed the door behind me, but not before I heard a, "I heard that!" from Nya.

At breakfast, I noticed that Zane was acting a little off. He was quiet. I didn't really think much of it. The only thing he said was, "So Jay, Nya, did my father really build a replacement, uh, me?" Jay had closed his eyes and repeated the one statement that defines Ninjago, "The past is the past, Zane. It will be fine."
Jay stood up. "Okay everyone, I have an announcement. I am going out tonight." The others murmured to themselves. "Why?" I asked, speaking from everyone's minds. "Uh, no reason..." I narrowed my eyes. "What is this about? Is it about Nya?" I stood up. My temper had risen once again. Nya looked away. "Kai! Seriously, stop!" Jay came up behind me and lifted my arm. He put it on his shoulder.
"I know you don't like the idea of me going out with Nya again, but we've gotten over the past. Please. You have to believe me." I turned away. "No, I'll never forgive you for what you did to my family." I opened the door and walked out.
The clouds were beginning to build around the ship. A storm, I thought. Good. Maybe the wind will calm me. "Kai, I sense something is wrong beyond your control." I straightened. "No, it's just that I..." I paused, trying to find the right words. "Yes. There is something wrong. The world seems out of balance. It doesn't seem right." I was still turned toward the clouds. They were thickening. "I see you have grown wiser in your years. We all have."
"But this is something new. We've only ever had this issue once before. When Garmadon's Mega Weapon was destroyed. Now none of us can remember what happened." I stopped. "Do you think we can recover memories?" I turned to see Zane's titanium face next to me. I blinked, whoops, thought he was Sensei. "Yes. Maybe you should go to Sensei for help. I cannot remember very much of my past, but wasn't there some sort of elixir involved in..." Zane trailed off. Obviously, he didn't remember Lloyd's growth. "Lloyd growing up." I finished. Zane nodded. The titanium ninja sighed.
"I wish there was some way of getting my memories back. I cannot remember anything useful." Poor Zane. "Thank you Zane. You really helped me." Zane bowed his head and walked off. I looked over the edge and smiled. The small storm that had overtaken us was gone, and the sky was clear once again.
"Hey guys! I have something for you all to hear."
