I wake up extra early, like I always did at home. I always go to bed late and wake up early. I get out of bed and head to the bathroom, you don't want to know what going to the toilet is like... But, no, I splash my face with water and my eyes wake up a little more. I go to the kitchen and get some food. I see Kai heading outside. I know you'll get it! Good luck my friend... Wait, I barely know him and I highly doubt we're friends... I go to my room again and grab my halberd.

I go outside just in time to see Kai holding up Sensei's small cup of sugar, "Was that one sugar, or two?"

"Nice job, Kai," I say, barely above a whisper, as I sit down on Sensei's left.

Sensei gets up and starts walking to the monastery without saying anything, "So, am I going to learn this Spinjitzu I've been hearing so much about?"

He stops at Kai's words, "You both already have. Your final test comes tomorrow." Cool!

I frown, slightly unsure.

"Wanna spar or something?" Kai asks.

"I don't know…" I say quietly.

"Come on!" He pulls me up, "It'll be fun!"

"Fine…" I say at last, giving in. I pick up my halberd, and we face each other.

"Be ready to get Kai'd!" He yells loudly as he grabs his sword.

I block his first attack and throw his arm with the sword backwards. I strike his side, softly to not kill him but hard enough that he can feel it.

"Gotcha! Haha!" Kai smirks at my childish behavior and the battle goes on. I gave him a moment to regain his bearings.

"Hmm, she doesn't sound like a kid," I hear a voice say, and I duck under Kai's sword.

"She probably just has a deep voice," Another points out.

My head snaps up, and I scanned the roofs for the source of the sounds, "You okay Skyler?"

"Oh, yeah. I just…" I shakes my head, "It's probably nothing… The air feels off, that's all, and I thought I heard voices… I feel like we're being watched, but that happens a lot…"

"Weird-o…"

I knock him to the ground with my halberd, before putting it up to his neck, "Careful, or I'll duct tape you to the roof!"


It is night, and soon, the other ninja would be coming. Kai'll be brushing his teeth when the others come, so I just need to wait until Kai starts brushing his teeth! He starts brushing his teeth and I am just waiting behind him, holding onto my halberd.

"Sensei's advice was to get some sleep, Kai, hurry up!" I snap.

"Oh, yeah? Well take this!" He jabs his buzzing toothbrush in the air.

This looks so weird… I sigh, "Calm down, geeze..."

"And this!" He continues jabbing it in my direction, but behind him I see a black suited ninja and by the eyebrows and weapon I can tell it's Zane.

I gasp, "What the keck?!"

"What?"

He stops and looks at me, so I point my hand at Zane and he turns around. Cole suddenly, with his scythe, jumps in front of our faces. Whoa, mini heart-attack! I hold up my halberd, then Cole walks to the right and they all surrounded us.

"Oops," Kai says softly, and we move back to back to defend ourselves better.

They all get ready to attack, or so Kai thought, because he jabs the toothbrush into Zane's face mask and I just get ready to block any attacks. The toothbrush gets launched everywhere and lands in Cole's back, making him vibrate in his place. Cute! N-no! Don't think like that… It's creepy! I shouldn't be thinking like that, I mean… It was only a few months ago…

Kai had disappeared, so I look up. Kai is jumping across rooms from the bars on the ceiling. The ninja then followed, except one; Jay, who has stayed to fight me. Oh, no...

Jay comes at me with his nunchucks. I duck, dodging his attack, then use my halberd to knock his feet out from under him. I jump onto the sink then climb, one handed because my halberd, up to the bars too. I hear Jay starting to follow me. I just jump from bar to bar and see that Zane just fell off the ceiling. Cole then jumps and knocks Kai out of the roof to outside. I run to the end and go through the hole in the roof that Kai made when he broke through. I am on the roof and I can feel the wind, and I feel ready. I climb down to the end and jump to the ground, which apparently didn't hurt because, well, I'm not on Earth. I look around and all the ninja come out here through the door. Kai is against the button to turn on the course, and he pushes it. The course hits the others, and eventually, we were in the middle, the black suited ninja surrounding us. Then there is this confusing battle, and I just block their attacks and defend myself.

"Jay! Cole! Zane! Stop!" I did not just say all their names…

They all freeze, look at me, and Jay spoke, "How do you know our names?"

I punch him in the face, because reflexes. We start attacking the black clad ninja again until Sensei bursts out of the monastery.

"Stop!" He yells and everyone stands in a line, and I join in, next to Cole.

"Yes, Sensei," They say.

"Hai, Sensei," I say instead. Used to it. I'M TEH NINJA TWURTLES FAN TOOO. What am I doing with my life...?

"Wait a moment, they're your students too?" Kai asks and Sensei nods.

"Our final test?" I ask quietly.

"That was our final test, wasn't it?"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa," Jay interrupts, "You never said anything about a fourth, let alone a fifth! It's always three; three blind mice, three musketeers, three-"

He's cut off by Cole, "What he's trying to say, Sensei Wu, is that the three of us have trained together. We're solid."

"Didn't look so solid to me," Kai retorts with a smirk on his face.

"No, they're solid. If it wasn't for me, your fiery butt would have been whooped," I remind him.

"Master," Zane steps forward, "What is the meaning of this? Why have you brought a child to the monastery?"

I am confused for a moment but he gestured to me, "I-I'm no-not a ch-child," I inform quietly, "I-I'm f-fourteen. I-I'm just... Sm-small..." And my hour-glass figure is non-existent because of Ninjago and my face is covered by this mask thing…

The other three ninja stared at me, until Jay spoke, "No way... You're not fourteen..."

"I am!" I say, more loudly this time.

"You're too sh-"

"You'd be able to tell that she's fourteen if she took off that mask," Kai informs, interrupting Jay.

"No, she's ly-"

"She is fourteen," Sensei interrupts Cole.

"My apologies," Zane quickly says to me.

"It's okay Z-" I immediately stop talking. Watch what you say!

"Each of you have been chosen," Wu says, "Each in tune with elemental properties. But first; ninja go!"

He then does Spinjitzu and moved across the line. He makes me spin when he reaches me, as he did everyone else. When I stop spinning, I'm holding my halberd and am wearing a lavender blue ninja gi! I am still wearing my necklace under the gi. The same colour as my eyes, well back home because they're black here! It looks like everyone else's, but the animal is… A leopard of some sorts… Oh! And the belt thingies are white.

"Look at what colour I am!" Jay exclaims, in his now blue gi of course.

"Wait a minute, I'm still black," Cole says.

"And I'm lavender blue!" I say quietly and look over at the others, who are their right colours and had their weapons.

"Kai, master of fire," Sensei says while placing his staff on Kai's shoulder for a few seconds before taking it off, "It burns bright in you," He steps in front of Jay, "Jay is blue, master of lightning."

"That's not all I'm the master of," Jay cheerfully boasts, "I do a little inventing, I dabble in model-building, touch of cooking, a little poetry-"

"More like mouth of lightning," Cole interrupts, and I stifle a giggle.

"Black ninja is Cole, solid as a rock, master of earth," Wu says, touching his staff on Cole's shoulder. Cole spins around and plants his scythe on the ground, for fun.

"Ha," Kai scoffs.

"Nice to meet you, kid," He says to Kai. What about meeeee? Not that I want attention… "I got your back, and for the record," He pulls back his hood. See! It is the same hair-piece! "There ain't nothing in this world I'm afraid of."

"Except for dragons," Zane points out.

"Dragons aren't from this world, Zane. I said, 'in this world'."

"Everyone's scared of something," I inform, "Don't need to go pretending that your fear isn't around to bite you."

"What are you talking about?" He asks, narrowing his eyes on me.

"Oh… Uh… W-well… Dragons do exist, maybe not in this realm, but th-they do…"

Oh, it's my turn, "Skyler is the lavender ninja, who is calm, like a gentle breeze, but can turn into a hurricane if necessary. She's the Master of Wind," He puts his staff on my shoulder for a moment.

"Doubt that…" I heard Jay say quietly, but I ignore it.

"And the white ninja is Zane, master of ice," He puts his staff on Zane's shoulder then took it off, "And sealed with sixth sense."

Zane spins his shurikens in his hands and they disappear. Whoa, how'd he do that?

"I sense this one takes things a little too seriously," Kai retorts, leaning in Cole's and my direction. I raise an eyebrow, but say nothing.

Zane takes his hood off, "You too have the gift?" Why did his creator leave his funny-switch off?!

"Hehe, he's just making a joke, Zane," Jay tells him, and takes off his hood too, "Remember what we talked about, your sense of humor?"

"Yes, it was a joke. Haha," Zane says in a dull manner. I wish I could turn on your funny switch right now, but it'll ruin your true potential...

"Pay attention!" Sensei snaps and I look at him instantly, "You five are the chosen ones who will protect the five weapons of Spinjitzu from Lord Garmadon." It's weird hearing 'five', instead of 'four'. It's also weird hearing Lord Garmadon instead of Sensei Garmadon!

"But what about my sister?" Kai asked angrily.

"Y-you know s-she's in the hands of Garmadon, r-right?" I ask, but still quietly. I know these people! I shouldn't be so shy, but I am!

"Yeah, yeah, yeah..." He mutters.

"We're saving a girl?" Jay asks suddenly interested, "Is she hot?"

"Jay..." Cole scolds.

"I just wanna know what we're getting ourselves into." Yeah, because knowing if she's hot or not will help... "Does she like blue?"

"Back off!" Kai warns.

"When we find the weapons, we find your sister. It is time, we must go the first weapon," Sensei plans.

"It's the m-middle of the nig-" I start quietly.

Cole cuts me off, "Whoa, hold on a minute. You said you were gonna teach us Spinjitzu."

We know it alr... Never mind…

"Spinjitzu is inside each and every one of you," Sensei replies, "but will only be unlocked when the key is ready to be found," There's a pause, and then he suddenly yells, "Come! My feet are tired, we will take the horse carriage."

"Great..." Cole mutters.

"Now we have to find a key?" Jay complains.

"No, Jay. He was speaking metaphorically, you do know what that is, right?" Kai says the last part coolly. Whoa? I didn't think he said that…

"Metaphor or not, I'm feeling like he's taking us for a ride," Cole says.

"Well, if it means finding my sister, then sign me up," Kai says.


How long has it been? The ninja and I have been forced, by Sensei, to pull him like we're horses. Ugh! I haven't had to run this fast for this long before! I can barely even reach the... I guess you could call it reins, although they're made of sticks and wood. Anyways, I can barely reach it, considering I'm so small. Ugh, I'm going to die before we even fight the skeletons!

"Sign me up!" Jay mocks Kai, "Way to go, Sparkplug!"

"I sense this is some strange form of team building," Zane informs.

"Just keep pulling," Cole encourages, "We have a long way to go!"

We do? Aww, come on! I feel like I can't... I can't keep up... Everyone's faster because of their longer legs, there for I'm using twice the energy, which I'm fine with apart from the fact that we've been running for hours! Suddenly my legs give way and I fall to the ground. I hear the horse carriage stop and everyone exclaiming, "Skyler!" and stuff like that. At least they care...

I try to push myself into a sitting position, 'try' being the key word. My arms give way, and I fall back after a moment. I feel myself being lifted up. The blinding light of the sun shines on my face and I feel my head throb from the fall. I am placed down on the ground and I put a hand to my head. Ugh! That hurt…

"Skyler, you okay?" I hear, Cole… I think…

"I'm fine, just tripped..." I mutter, trying but failing at standing up. CURSE YOU NINJAGO BODY!

"Bring her on the carriage," I look up and see Cole picking me up and carrying me. Oh, yay! It's Cole! Ugh, this is kind of embarrassing... I'm a teenager and have to be carried by someone who is only a few years older than me... At least it's Co- Who it is doesn't effect anything! I am laid on the carriage next to Sensei. I feel my heart slow down and I calm down a bit.

"I'm seriously fine, I can continue pulli-"

"Just stay there and don't complain," Sensei says bluntly, and Jay giggled.

"So, where did Sensei find you three?" Kai asks the other ninja.

"Let's just say if it wasn't for Sensei Wu, I don't think we'd ever be seen together," Cole looks back at the others and I felt guilty for just sitting here, "I was testing my limits." I really should be helping, not giving them extra weight to pull!

"I was testing my invention," Jay tells us, followed by another weird pause.

"And I was testing myself."

"Stop!" Sensei suddenly yells.

The ninja immediately stop running and I latch onto the side to stop myself from falling, "Hey, look; we're at the top of the steep hill!" Jay yells really loudly, making me flinch.

"Really? I didn't notice," Kai is being sarcastic, which just reminded me of my sister and Li- Not gonna think of her!

I jump off, not feeling tired anymore. Yay! Everyone else ducks under the reins and left the horse carriage there. I look for Sensei, and see him right at at the top of the hill. The ninja and I crawl across the ground to where Sensei was on top of the hill. Wait, Sensei is sitting on that rock, where the skeletons can see him, and we have to duck down... This doesn't compute!

As we near him he says, "The Caves of Despair," I get up and peek over the rock to see what's there, "Samukai must be close to unearthing the Scythe of Quakes." Oh, unearthing... Hehe... "Remember!" Sensei says loudly, snapping me away from my thoughts, "Do not use the weapon, or its power-"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah," Jay interrupt him, "It's too much for us mortals. Okay, guys, let's chop-socky this lemonade stand... Cole, do you have a plan?"

"Sure do. First we lower ourselves down the ledge-"

I gasp, seeing Kai running across the open ground without looking first! I jump down, and race after him. I see some skeletons coming, and shove him behind a rock. He glares at me, and I growl at him.

"I just saved you from being spotted, be grateful."

He sighs, "Sorry. I just want to get my sister back as soon as possible."

I put a hand on his shoulder, "I understand that. Come on."

I flipped out from behind the rocks, and make a break for the watch tower. I duck behind rocks, and start rolling between them. Kai follows a little bit behind me. How... You know what? Ninjago logic is the answer to everything now... Stepping behind a rock, I see the conveyer belt that Kruncha and Nuckal are at. Flipping fast and all that, I made it under the belt and grabbed on. This is fun! Kruncha and Nuckal's conversation though... Like what even? The Fire Ninja pulls on my arm, and takes the lead. I follow him to the watch tower, and we both climb up quickly. I see that skeleton move away, and turn away from the hole. I drop down, leaving from my 'knees' down on the roof. I swipe the map, and swing back up. All the ninja are there, looking at me like I'm a unicorn. That's probably not done a lot here… I hold out the map, and put it down. Kai races off, and I follow, picking up the map on my way. I jump off the watch tower, flipping for effect and see Kai waiting for me. I look left and right then, while whispering "Yolo,", bolt to the caves. I turn left when I get to the cave and see a giant boulder. I walk over and start pushing it, Kai joins me.

"Hey, before you two run off again, you need to remember we're a team," Cole says sternly and walked up to us, "In future we need to plan before rushing off."

"Yeah, whatever," Kai mutters, ignoring what Cole said.

I start pushing the boulder again, this time the others help. We get the rock away rather quickly and there is what looks to be Rock's, Cole's later on dragon's, head just above the ground. His neck is coming out of a fitting whole in the ground. The Scythe of Quakes seems to be hovering above his mouth. By what force? How... Ninjago logic... Why do I question it?

"Wow!" Jay exclaims. His voice echoing, "Cool!"

"Mouth of Lightning, shut it! Didn't it ever occur to you that the enemy is right outside?" Cole hisses, keeping his voice low so it didn't echo.

He proceedes to climb onto the dragon and removed the Scythe of Quakes from its apparent hovering.

"Oh, come on. Don't be so paranoid! We're totally on the opposite side of the caves," Jay replies. I hit him in the back of the head, and he glares at me. I glare back and he backs down from my fierce gaze.

"Zip it, Jay. Now that we got the Scythe, let's sneak out of here while those boneheads are still busy," Cole says. The air… Shifts… I pull out my halberd, "What are you doing?"

"Shh!" I can hear the faint sound of footsteps.

When we get out I see Skulin, everywhere, "Told you so!" Cole says.

I run right in, slashing at skeletons left and right, I suddenly hear Zane yell, "Kai! Throw it here!"

I suddenly see the Scythe, pass over my head but something is wrong. It was too close to the ground and wouldn't get to Zane. I jump onto the head of a nearby skeleton and catch it. I throw it towards Zane and he caught it.

"There's too many of them!" I hear Kai yell behind me, and I turn around to help him.

I see Jay come up behind him, "Let me handle that," Jay fight while yelling things such as, "Kapow!", etc., "Hey guys! It's just like the training course!"

I take a step next to Jay and... Don't see it. I'm just going to follow Jay's lead.

Jay flips on each skeleton's head and I follow him, "Over the planks!" Oh, they're calling them planks now.

"Over the planks," I whisper to myself as I jump on skeletons like I would do with the so called 'planks'.

"Dodge the swords."

I jump over a skeleton coming up front right and slide under another, causing him to fall over. Cool!

"Here comes the dummy!"

Jay spins to hit him, so I do that too.

"Ninja go!" I yell as I spin and hit the first skeleton I see.

Suddenly, the majority of my vision is speeding shades of lavender and lavender blue and I was moving and spinning around. Slight metallic bits such as silver and aquamarine were mixed with the colours. OH MY GOD! I'M ACCTUALLY DOING SPINJITZU!

"No way!" I yell to myself, and move around, hitting skeletons in my reach.

I can move around inside the Spinjitzu Tornado, and move the physical tornado too. It feels weird but awesome. I see, through the coloured wind, Jay, also doing Spinjitzu. I also see skeletons and the ninja standing next to where Jay is headed. I stop thinking about that and just fought skeletons, because fun.

"Jay! What's the key?" I hear Kai's voice yell. What about me?

"Just go through the motions of the training course!" Jay yells, "This is what Sensei must've meant when he said we already know it!"

I stop my Spinjitzu and check what's around me. Okay, less skeletons then before.

Kai starts Spinjitzu just as I look at him. I feel the wind picking up to my left and I turn to it, and see it was Zane's. I look a little more to the left and see Cole's Spinjitzu. It looks so real, since it is now in 3D.

I hear Samukai's voice above everything else, "Retreat!"

All skeleton's run for the exit. Most of the skeletons are behind me and I slashed at them as they fly past. and tried to not get squished. I stand in my place as they left and feel a light breeze behind me. Turning around, there are the four ninja's Spinjitzu.

I'm speechless as they stop spinning, "Guess they didn't want a second serving of these babies!" Cole says, flexing his muscles, which actually did nothing... WHY AM I BLUSHING?!

"Seriously?" I ask, raising an eyebrow, but suddenly I see Rocky go behind the other ninja and my eyes widened.

"What? Did you just realize how strong I am?" Cole ask, and flexed again. He's... So... Big! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

A shriek left my lips and I pointed behind the boys. They all turned and started backing up and soon they were in line with me. I run behind Cole, hiding. He's the closest, okay?

"I sense we won't be able to spin out way out of this one," Zane informs us.

Rocky decides to breath out dust/dirt that are different shades of brown. I throw my arms over my head and duck, knowing there's be no time to dodge because I hesitated. Suddenly, the rocks are thrown back by some force. I turned and bolted to where everyone else was I hide behind Zane.

"What the hell did I just do, and how did I do it?" I ask, bewildered.

"No idea, but can you do it again and like, get us out of here?" Kai asks.

"N-no, but-"

"Fine, it's up to me." Kai says, pulling out the Scythe.

"No, no, Kai! Bad idea!" Jay yells, "Sensei told us not to!"

"Then you better keep your mouth shut!"

"But the entrance isn't-"

"Kai, don't!" Jay yells over me.

Kai thrusts the blade-thing into the ground, directly in front of Rocky. A long, jagged crack appears on the ground and ceiling, causing a few rocks to cave in on the dragon and a few to block the entrance.

"We gotta escape," Kai says.

"How? You just blocked the entrance with that move, Hot Shot!" I yell at him, but my eyes never leave the beast before me.

They all are looking at the large opening on the ceiling with a small path of rocks, which I defiantly put there on purpose, leading up to it.

"Let's use Spinjitzu!" Cole suggests. Le' go!

"Ninja go!" I yell as I perform Spinjitzu again.

It is easier now that I've done it already. We all head up the path of rocks and exit through the crack we saw. I, apparently, propelle myself in the air with the speed I have, and this is fun. As soon as I am on solid ground, I feel myself unbalancing and I take a step back and tried to get my balance back, but I crashed into someone and we both fell down.

The ninja yell out random things;

"That was so awesome!"

"Yes, we are unbelievable."

"Ha ha! Did you see that? I was like POW, and you were like KABAM!"

"I'm so sorry!" I say getting up off of the person and looking down I realized it was Cole, I hold out my hand and pulled him to his feet.

"Enough!" Sensei Wu yells, cutting off the others' victory, "I told you not to use the scythe!"

"He did it," Jay blames, while Cole and him pointed at Kai…

"What?" Kai asks.

"We warned him Sensei," Cole says.

"Using it was my only option."

"Actually, you might have created the crack in the room we got out by, but it wasn't necessary until you made the roof cave in at the entrance! We all could have been killed! If it wasn't for the rocks we'd be stuck down there with R- That dragon!" I quickly set my slip up right. I was too mad to think about the fact that I was with strangers.

"Well-" Kai starts but Zane cut him off.

"Yes, if it wasn't for Skyler moving those rocked into position beforehand we'd all be dead."

"You moved the rocks?" Sensei Wu asks and I nod sheepishly.

"I was blocking the dragon's attack and this gust of wind shot from my arms as I brought them up. I thought you needed the elemental weapons to control the elements."

"That is true, for the other elements, but wind is an exception. It was... Originally a Secondary Element." DOES HE KNOW?! "You can still do stuff like control gusts of wind, create tornadoes and fly..."

"Fly?" I echo, "What? This is so weird..."

"Yes, but it's near impossible to learn without the weapon, but it'll come in handy for you. Now, we must be off and go get the other weapons, and maybe this time you can do it right."

"Well, boys, and Skyler, you ready to face whatever challenges we have next?" Cole asks them, and me.

"Duh! Let's do this!" Jay yells.

I'm ready for anything now!


I really hope you enjoyed! It wasn't as long as I hoped, but I'm going to update again later today! Please review if you have anything to say about the chapter, I'm open to criticism.
