Gie-chan: Sooo...I'm back again. I guess I should probably put individual replies about now.

Review Replies:

PixalatedNinjas: Thank you for these wonerful words, though I hope you managed to wait this long. My own brain kinda keeps on rejecting my ideas about those words...

CandyKing24: Thanks for those words, they're next on my list too.

SportOfJumpRope: Yup! It really is a sport, a really fun one too. It's alright, you can't really stop ideas from invading your mind, buuut, I'm afraid that only the first five will be used here.

Loki God of Evil: Thanks for the compliments. Okay, now I'm seeing a headless gravy chicken/falcon running around my imaginary kitchen up here... Those two boys really seem like them, along with those slightly lower voices of theirs. There really are teenaged boys that act like that, take my former classmate, for example, he acts like that a lot of times. Yes, you can expect that one-shot on the future chapter 1o.

bayboo20: Thanks for the review! Really, it just somehow tells me that I'm doing at least something right.

Gie-chan: This has gotta be the longest one yet. I don't know what's up with myself this week.


Words: Elsa, Ice, And Jay from PixalatedNinjas


Docked and stuck frozen atop a frozen lake was the Destiny's Bounty 2.0, with the ninja and Master Wu aboard.

Zane took a glance outside the control room. Snow piling up on the deck, covering it in a white sheet.

"This is certainly troubling," Zane stated.

"[Indeed.]" P.I.X.A.L. agreed, "[the irregularity of of weather conditions will most likely cause imbalance in various ecosystems in Ninjago, excluding those that naturally have the current weather patterns. We are unable to steer the Destiny's Bounty out of this lake as well.]"

"Yes. But what could have caused such an occurence?" Zane wondered.

"[My database hold no such information on this kind of phenomena.]" P.I.X.A.L. stated.

"Even though my element is associated with winter, I do not feel the least bit comfortable with this," Zane said.

"Hey, what'cha doing, buddy?" Jay came in from the stairs leading down to the deck. Instead of wearing his usual ninja suit, Jay had some pretty thick clothes, including his hat and maroon scarf.

"I was just conversing with P.I.X.A.L. about the abnormal weather we are having," Zane replied.

"Yeah. It's pretty weird. It actually never snows in this part of the continent. And guess what?"

"What?" Zane cocked his head to the side.

"Its still snowing!" Jay exclaimed.

"Yes...I can see that."


Meanwhile, in the middle of the living room, Kai had a fire lit up and looked extremely tired. He was at it for the whole day.

Then, Master Wu walked into the room, holding a hot cup of tea and the kettle hanging on the top of his staff. "Okay, Kai, that's enough," he said.

Kai put out the fire, much to the rest's dismay, then slumped on the floor.

"Finally," he breathed out.

"But Master Wu, it's still cold," Nya complained.

"Butts are for sitting and if you wish to stay warm, you may proceed to hug him," He said before walking out the room.

Kai raised his head from the floor, "wait, what?"

Before he could process what Wu had said, he was already squeezed between Lloyd and Nya, the latter pressing her cheek against her brother's. Cole grabbed the fluffiest and fleeceiest blanket they had and wrapped them around themselves, creating a bundle.

"Hey, anyone know where Zaptrap went?" Cole asked.

Everyone shook their heads "no" and just cuddled up even more.

"I don't know, but him and Zane are totally missing out on this," Lloyd said, but then he accidentally poked his cheek with Kai's hair. "Ouch! How sharp can your hair get?" he said.

"I think he's using too much hair gel," Cole stated.

"No I'm not," Kai argued.

"I don't think hair this sharp is natural," Lloyd commented while he stifled a small laugh.

"Actually," Nya intervened, "it is."

"Maybe I should call you Porcupine again," Cole stated, "or maybe a fire urchin. You know, those sea creatures that have spikes that sting like you're on fire?"

"Oh, that perfectly suits him," Lloyd agreed.

"If I weren't so exhausted, I'd be setting both of you on fire," Kai said.

"Yeeaahh, about that, you can't burn a ghost," Cole said.

"Unless he uses water, that is," Nya stated.

"Actually, you can, remember?" Kai reminded of that time with the Realm Crystal.


The next day, the winter started spreading across the entire continent of Ninjago. Sheets of ice covered the bodies of water, frost accumulating on many things, as well as snow blanketing the land.

Several places were also freezing over, spikes made of permafrost forming in several areas.

The team of ninja were called to take care of the situations where the ice was getting out of hand. Out of all the ninja, Kai was the one working the most as he had the power to melt the ice. Lloyd was a little affected as well since he shares the supply of elements he has. Nya was unable to use her water power as it could potentially give her frostbite the moment she manifests it, so she just resorts to using an extra flamethrower she has, though, it's not as effective as fire elemental powers. The rest are either evacuating people or clearing the snow and ice.

Instead of their usual gi, the ninja wore their deepstone suits as the insulating properties of the deepstone embedded in them helped keep the cold out.

News reports coming in often say that the winter is starting to cause problems for Ninjago. Some suspicions also arised about Zane, as he is the current master of ice, though the ninja constantly say that the type of ice they are dealing with is different. Zane's ice is very clear with slight hints of blue while the ice covering Ninjago changes color from time to time and is slightly less transparent. Not to mention that even with Zane using maximum power, he couldn't cover the whole city of Ninjago, much less the entire continent, as seen with his battle with the Overlord, although one might argue that it was the Golden Weapons that caused his systems to fail.

At the moment, the ninja were trying to free the workers in the museum as they were unable to go home when a blizzard struck New Ninjago City the day before.

Cole had phased through the walls of the museum in order to gather all the people inside, among of which, is Misako. Once all of the were together, he led them to where Kai, Zane, and Lloyd were trying to thaw or shatter the ice covering the main entrance.

They managed to create an opening big enough for a person to pass through, breaking the glass door in the process.

Jay and Nya had come back, bringing the people something to warm them up like a hot drink and blankets. Once all of them were out, they quickly gave out the drinks and blankets. Lloyd ran to his mother, immediately hugging her.

"Mom, you're cold!" he said, worried and grasping her hand.

"I'm alright. Just need to warm up, that's all," she said, "but there's something you need to know."

"What's that?" Lloyd asked as he handed her a blanket that Nya passed to him.

"Really, it's still snowing!" Jay exclaimed in the background, followed by a groan from Cole, "Jay. Just...stop, okay?"

Mother and son both looked at the two other ninja before going back to facing each other again.

"As I was saying earlier," Misako started, "yesterday, while we were trapped in the museum, I coincidentally came across this old text about the sudden winter."

"Like what we're having right now?"

The other ninja, upon hearing the conversation, decided to come and listen to what Misako has to say.

"Exactly. It says that many years ago, an elemental master accidentally unleashed a snowstorm across his home which lasted for decades, until one day, a young traveller came, bringing with her a magical rock she happened to come across while going there that thawed the ice and snow when it accidentally touched with the elemental master's sapphire necklace." Misako said.

"So, what you're saying is, we have to go on this quest to find two magical items so that we can save the world from a frozen coffin? Hm, seems cliché, don't you think?" Jay said.

"Well, if that's the only way to thaw this winter, then we gotta take that cliché'd quest," Kai said. "Misako, you said something about a magical rock and necklace that could thaw the winter, what do you know about them?"

"If I recall correctly, I think the rock was called a ruby heartstone. They can be found in high altitude mountains. I can't say for certain about where the sapphire necklace is, though. If the two were to touch, I believe that it'll solve this winter problem," Misako took a sip from her drink.

"Hey, maybe Uncle Wu knows something about the necklace," Lloyd suggested.

"That would be a good idea, though we would have to ask him later. We have to escort these people to a warmer place," Zane told them.

After everyone was in a better insulated place, the ninja rode on their elemental dragons, Misako riding with Lloyd, back to the still stuck ship in a lake.

They went inside the ship where Wu greeted them upon arrival. Cole asked Wu about the sapphire necklace and the ruby heartstone they were supposed to find.

Wu went into his room and came back to the living room where they were currently at, carrying a small black box with a blue snowflake design embedded on the sliding lid.

"This belonged to one of your ancestors, Zane. He once had Garmadon keep this for him, but since, well, a series of...unfortunate events, my brother had me keep this," Wu slid open the box to reveal a hexagonal pendant, which held a round dark blue sapphire stone with a triangular facet delicately placed atop a white cloth inside the box.

"Wow," Jay muttered, the stone reflecting some of the light in a mesmerizing manner.

Wu shut the box close, handing it to Zane, "now go, ninja! Get the ruby heartstone," he ushered them outside.

"Wait a sec." Jay stopped in his tracks, Cole bumping into him, "where are we going to find the ruby?"

They all stopped to ponder on this for a second.

"It's in fourth mountain from the right in the snowy mountains, now go!" Wu told them. The ninja scrambled out the ship and summoned their dragons. "My tea will soon freeze if this lasts any longer," he muttered, sadly looking at his cooling tea kettle.

Misako put a hand on his shoulder, "you'll live."


The wind blew hard at the ninja, setting their dragons off balance and making them plummet to the side of the mountain. Fortunately, they were on the right mountain and the fluffy snow broke their fall. Unfortunately, they were seperated.

Zane and Jay landed together on one side of the mountain, while the rest were down at the bottom.

"At least it isn't snowing really hard," Jay said.


Five minutes later...

"What are the odds!" Jay yelled as him and Zane tried to walk up the mountain while a snowstorm struck them.

"There's a cave over there!" Zane pointed to an entrance not too far from them. They made their way to the opening and took refuge there from the weather.

"Who's there?" a woman's voice echoed in the cave, sounding almost relieved, but also a little scared. Zane and Jay looked at each other before Zane answered, "I am Zane, built to protect those who cannot protect themselves, and this is my brother, Jay, the Master of Lightning. We are ninja, sworn protectors of the land of Ninjago."

"Ninjago? Is this what this place is called?" the young woman asked.

"Uh, yes?" Jay replied, slightly confused as to why the person didn't know Ninjago.

"Might we inquire as to who you are?" Zane asked her.

The young woman carefully, and shyly, approached the two ninja, but eventually straightened up and calmed herself.

"I am Queen Elsa of Arendelle."

"You're a queen? Cool!" Jay exclaimed, then Zane elbowed him. "Ouf. Oh." the two of them respectfully bowed to Elsa.

"Yes. And I need your help to get me back to my kingdom," she said.

"We will be happy to assist you, your majesty," Zane said.

"Thank you, Zane, was it?" Zane nodded his head.

"By the way," Elsa turned to Jay, "where is your kingdom anyway, your highness? I've never heard of Arendelle before."

"Neither have I. P.I.X.A.L., have you ever heard of it?" Zane asked.

Elsa, having no knowledge of P.I.X.A.L.'s existence, was slightly confused. "Who is he talking to?" she whispered to Jay.

"Oh, right. P.I.X.A.L. is Zane's girlfriend that lives in his head," Jay told her.

"Pixal?" she glanced into Zanecs direction, "are you sure that he's not just crazy?"

Jay looked at her, "no. I mean, he can be weird a lot of times, but he's actually one of the smartest and the kindest person I know," he smiled at the direction of his brother.

"She says that there is no such kingdom like that in Ninjago," Zane said.

"Arendelle isn't exactly in Ninjago. I've never really heard of this place in my entire life," she said.

"Perhaps, you may be in another realm?" Zane speculated. So far, they've only known a few other realms, courtesy of Lloyd, and there were still a few that they have yet to discover of the Sixteen, now fourteen, Realms.

"Hey, we could use the Realm Crystal to help get you back!" Jay suggested.

Elsa was relieved. For a second there, she thought that she won't ever get to go back to her sister again. Then, the previous howling of the wind started to calm down. The snow outside was now falling gently to the ground.

"Hey, the storm's let up! We can go right now!" Jay exclaimed and the two ninja escorted the queen outside the cave.

When the thtee of them got out of the cave, a green elemental dragon circled around them. Elsa was surprised at the sight of a real life dragon as it decended towards them.

"Hey guys! Good news, Cole found a ruby heartstone, we just need to get the..." he noticed Elsa standing among his two brothers. "Oh, hi there," he greeted.

"Yes, hello," Elsa greeted back.

"Anyway, we just need to get the necklace at the Bounty," Lloyd said.

"Is it alright if we took a detour to our ship before retrieving the Realm Crystal to send you home?" Zane asked.

"Sure, I don't mind, though it would be nice if I could get back as soon as possible," Elsa answered.

"Okay, let's go," Lloyd said.

"How are we going to-?" Elsa didn't manage to finish her question as Jay and Zane summoned their dragons, the latter offering her the ride to the Destiny's Bounty.


As they flew above the land, Elsa saw ice and snow covering a vast area of land below.

This got her a little worried. She might have been the one who caused this, but she isn't entirely sure, so she asked Zane, "is this a normal occurence in Ninjago?"

"In this area, yes, but there has been the unusual drop of temperature in the entire continent, even areas where the temperature is supposed to be extremely high, it has been frozen over as well," Zane stated.

"It might have been my fault," Elsa whispered, but Zane managed to hear her speak.

"Come again?"

"I'll...tell you later when we land," she said.

They soon got to the frozen lake where the Destiny's Bounty still stuck to the ice.

Kai, Nya, and Cole were already waiting on the deck, as they went on ahead when they found the ruby heartstone. But there was something else on the deck.

It was what appeared to be a living snowman.

"Oooh! More friends!" Olaf exclaimed as he raced toward the area where the three dragons landed on the ship. "Hi! I'm Olaf, and I like warm hugs!"

Olaf hugged Lloyd and Jay, while Zane on the other hand, was assisting Elsa down his dragon before he unsummoned it.

"Ooo, shiny! Are you huggable?" Olaf asked.

"Yeah, he's pretty huggable despite being made of titanium," Jay commented.

Olaf proceeded to hug Zane. Elsa was quite surprised that the talking snowman was also here.

Later, they found out that there was this portal, obviously, that somehow opened a few days ago which led to Ninjago. Elsa accidentally went through it, then followed by Olaf. After being transported somewhere, Olaf found this weird stone and unintentionally unleashed winter upon Ninjago.

"So that explains the weird weather," Kai said.

"Are we going to fix this or not?" Cole ushered Kai to hurry up and touch the stone he was holding with the necklace Zane held.

The two stones glowed purple for a moment, then brightened into white, and a wave pulsed from the two stones and returned Ninjago to it's rightful weather conditions.

Once that was done and over with, the ninja took Elsa and Olaf to Hiroshi's Labyrinth. Lloyd spoke with the nindroid guard, asking for the crystal, which he complied after a short security check to make sure it was the real ninja.

With the Realm Crystal at hand, they opened up a portal back to Arendelle.

"Thank you for your help," Elsa thanked the Ninja and went through.

"Bye friends!" Olaf waved and went through as well.

The ninja returned the crystal and flew out of Hiroshi's Labyrinth.


Gie-chan: What did I just type?

Really, what?

See, there's this thing called procrastination. It got me. When I had the urge to write/type, this was the only thing that got out of this brain of mine. Things got real slow earlier this week after the family reunion. Sorry for the wait.

I'm gonna go and try to type the next one-shot. Though, I'm not sure when It'll be posted as I'll be going home this Sunday and prepare for school starting next week.

C'mon Cerebrum, work with me here!
