Your POV
You wait around in your cell. You have drawn in detail all of the Ninja now. You flip through your drawings often. It helps you to calm down, looking at them. I'm the notebook you also begin to write journal entries. They aren't dated because you have no idea how long Damien's held you captive. All you know is that you get meals often and aren't ever too hungry. There aren't windows in the cell, so you never know when it is day or night. You usually write in your notebook every other meal because for all you know that is a day.
You hold up the small tuna sandwich. It's not the best, but considering your circumstance you think it's pretty good. After that bite you open up your notebook to the sixth-seventh entry. You grab a pen and begin to write.
#67
Still no idea what Damien wants or how long I've been here. I'm doing physically fine. I'm an emotional mess, and boredom is not helping. As I've written before, I hate knowing that Roy died because of this lunatic Damien. Damien wanted nothing with Roy. He wanted me. But Roy tried to protect me, and Damien killed him in front of me. If I had somehow convinced Roy to stand down or to run, he wouldn't be dead. It's not Damien's fault. It's mine. I'm the reason Roy is in a box six feet underground.
I hear footsteps. I haven't heard that for at least ten entries. Gotta go figure out what's happening.
When you finish the last sentence you shove the journal back into the drawer and stand up. You begin to pace around the small cell until you hear a click from the door. You turn to look at the door. In came Damien, this time without guards. "Hello darling," he said.
"What do you want?!" you shout at him.
"Testy, aren't we?" Damien jests. "I want you. You are the key to a little problem of mine."
"Not helping," you say.
"Oh, you will."
"How long have I been here?" you ask.
"Oh, that's a little complicated, y/n."
"What do you mean? I've been here a certain amount of days. How many?"
"That depends on perspective, darling. Ninjago's perspective, or this world's perspective."
"What the crap are you talking about?"
"Y/n, we aren't in Ninjago. Time is much faster here than in Ninjago."
"One, what the heckin'? Two, why the heckin'? Three, I wanna know both," you say after hearing Damien's confusing crap.
"Would you further elaborate what your first two questions mean?"
You sigh. Damien thinks he is funny, but it isn't for you. "What the crap are you talking about? Why the heck is this happening?"
"You remember how the Ninja fought the Anacondrai at the Corridor of Elders? And Garmadon went into the Cursed Realm to save the day or whatever cliché thing happened?"
"We're in the Cursed Realm?"
"Oh, certainly no! That realm is disastrous! I like this realm better. Y'see, there are several realms, so here ya go ya haven't been in Ninjago for a while. As for why, this realm is better suited to my needs than Ninjago is. And you've been here for, oh, three weeks if you're thinking like this realm. It's been, oh, about half an hour for Ninjago."
"I dunno if three weeks or half an hour is more outrageous! What the heck!" you shout. You've been here for less than a day, yet for three weeks, and you are pissed. Damien is the absolute worst.
"I can't answer that, darling. Well, I came to check and see if you were okay, and obviously you are, so enjoy the next few days...at least in this realm's time."
"Wait, what realm is this?"
Damien leaves without answering. Typical.
You're shocked. You aren't even in Ninjago! Which lowers the odds that the Ninja will find you.
You pray/hope they find a way to find you 'cause you're really starting to hate your life. You grab your journal and flip to your favorite drawing, a picture of Jay and study it. Hopefully he and the others show up soon.
Jay's POV
I fly across Ninjago City with the team towards the south. Zane had shouted so loud that I thought his diagnostics were broken when PIXAL told him that Damien was in the south end of Ninjago City. I've never seen him like that.
I hear a bunch of civilians cheering as we fly across the city. Once we get a few blocks away from where PIXAL found them we land in the rooftops. We do what ninja do best and sneak around until we are just above Damien. I listen to what they are saying.
"You, grab some pearls. You, grab some silk. And you, grab some papyrus," Damien orders the three men with him.
"What do they need pearls, silk, and papyrus for?" I think aloud.
"I dunno, it seems kinda random though," Kai responds.
"For all we know he is doing magic or whatever with the pearls, papyrus, and silk," Cole says.
"You sure 'bout that? Sure, he's an elemental master, but does he know magic?" Lloyd points out.
"It's possible, however unlikely," Zane says.
"Well, I vote we stop them, kick Damien's butt and find out where y/n is," Kai says.
"Hear, hear," I agree.
"One, two, three!" Lloyd says. At three we jump down and begin to fight. Cole, Zane, and Kai are fighting the men Damien had brought along. Lloyd and I are fighting Damien himself. And he's a good fighter. I throw a punch and land of only to get kicked in the shin. That hurt. Lloyd kicked his gut but Damien elbowed Lloyd's chest. We keep fighting 'cause Ninja Never Quit. All three of us get tired pretty fast though. Luckily, the three guys the others were dealing with are down now, so it's Five v One.
All of us are kicking, punching, and using our elemental powers. This is one of those moments you wish was being filmed.
Your POV
You sip some water as you write in your journal. It's probably been a week in this realm since you last saw Damien. You are on your third sketch of Jay now. You're drawing the mask down so you can see his kind face. You hear the door open and you set the journal down. "What is it?" you ask.
A man in black is standing there. He holds up a black gun and points it at you. You begin to freak out. You can't move your legs, and you see the man slowly pull the trigger. When the trigger is finally pulled, a white flash is in front of you. You feel something grip around your arms and legs. Suddenly you feel something flow through your body and you realize it is electricity. You fall limp and lose consciousness. You're last thoughts are hectic.
Oh my gosh it wasn't a gun I'm not dead! But I'm being electrocuted! And I think I'm tied up! My gosh I hate you Damien! Please come Ninja!
Jay's POV
Our fight continues for a long time. Like as long as an episode from a show on Cartoon Network. All six us of are pretty tired by now, but Damien is still holding up against the five of us pretty dang well.
When will this end? I ask myself. This is starting to get ridiculous. Suddenly I get a punch to the face.
"Oh come on! Can we hurry this up?" I shout.
Damien shrugs. "I mean, I haven't really been trying."
"I wasn't talking to you!" I shout.
"Chill Jay!" Zane shouts.
"You have a hot temper today, don't ya?" Kai asks.
"Oh, shut up!" I shout.
Usually I would probably be the one saying witty quips. I don't know why this is different though. I've fought skeletons, serpentine, stone warriors, nindroids, and anacondrai, all of which planned to take over, destroy, yata yata. As far as we know Damien isn't all about world destruction or whatever. All he's done so far is kill y/n's boyfriend and kidnap y/n. But that has me really pissed off.
Damien rolls back his shoulders. "Let's get interesting."
He starts to fight again, but this is harder. A lot harder. Kinda scary.
"Uh, nope!" Lloyd shouts before he throws a ball of energy at Damien, who opens a portal and sends the energy behind Lloyd. Well, that's just fantastic!
I throw some punches, toss some kicks, and zap Damien a lot. Electrocuting people always seems to work.
Except not now! I mean, it kinda works. He slows down, but it's not the usual BAM UNCONSCIOUS I usually get.
Oh well, I guess I need to up the voltage. I just need to be careful to not kill him because I still need him to tell me where y/n is. Did I say I? I meant we. Totally meant we.
I pull away from the circle of fist fighting and begin to focus on a super powerful lightning bolt.
"Jay! What are ya doing?" Cole shouts.
"I'm trying to finish this Cole!" I shout as the lightning bolt reaches the right voltage. Enough to knock Damien out, but not enough to kill him or damage his brain or whatever. Theoretically.
ZAP!
Kai, Cole, Zane, and Lloyd step back as the lightning is shot at Damien. It hits Damien square in the jaw and Damien lifts his hand to his jaw before he falls to the ground.
We step over to him. "Is he dead?" Kai asks.
"No, just unconcious," Zane reports.
"For how long?" Lloyd asks.
"A few hours," Zane responds.
"How are we going to stop him from making a portal to get out of here?" I ask. I hadn't thought that part through.
"I'm sure Nya can figure something out," Cole says. Way to bring up my ex, Cole.
"Yeah, okay," I say. Cole lifts Damien up and summons his elemental dragon. We all summon our dragons and fly back to base. I decide to risk texting and flying and grab my phone.
Jay: Hey Nya do you happen to know a way we can disable someone's powers or something?
Nya: yeah maybe. Did you get Damien?
Jay: yeah we're flying him back to base he's unconcious
Nya: kk :)
Jay: :)
At least Nya and I are still on a level where we can send emojis.
As we fly over Ninjago City back home, I feel a little better. That lightning bolt was for y/n, Damien. And we're gonna get her back no matter what.
