Hey, guys! So... I had a migraine today, my head hurts too much to watch the episode (which I need to do to write the next chapter) so this will be a bit of character building... Sorry, once again, for not having the next chapter ready... I already had the first part done when the headache hit, so it'll have a little bit from the episode.


I hit the wall, growling under my breath. I groaned and got up. Why can't I just do the godforsaken course? Okay, that maybe the first time I've failed in a few days but I need to get better. No room for error.

I run at it again, jumping over the planks, dodging the swords, attacking the dummies. I manage to complete it again. I do it until I lose count. I go over to a punching bag and start attacking it with punches and kicks. I stop, sensing a change in the air as the others walk through it.

"Up already?" Cole asks and I nod.

"Yeah, I woke up early."

"Like always," Kai mutters which makes me stop and face him.

"What do you mean?"

"You get up at, like, just before sun-rise and go to bed at midnight and you barely take breaks," Jay says.

"How do you do it?"

I shrug, "Used to it. I used to get up early and cook breakfast for my family and stay up late cleaning the house so my mother didn't have to. I wasn't told to do this, I just wanted to. Have been doing it since I was three."

"Really?" Jay frowns, "Since you were three?"

"Yeah, sure I didn't stay up as long when I was three, but I woke up earlier each day and now I'm just used to it."

"Your parents must have been crazy to let you do that!" Kai blurts out.

"Are you insulting my mother?" I ask, my voice the calm before the storm. My mother isn't crazy! It's my choice how much work I did, and I just chose to do a lot! My father on the other hand… A shiver runs up my spine.

"Maybe I am," He growls, and I lose it.

I tackle him to the ground, pulling his weapon from his grasp and throwing it away at the same time, and put my weapon to his neck. His eyes widen. "What was that, Pretty Boy?"

"I-I said, 'I'm not'…"

"That's not what I heard."

"I'm sorry!" He gasps as my 'blade' goes closer.

I get off, "That's what I thought. Never insult my family, ever. If you do, Garmadon will be the least of your worries."

I jump back in surprise as Zane's Shurikens hits the punching bag I was using. It freezes over and I look around and Zane does Spinjitzu, freezing the entire area in ice. Of course! Cole cooked Duck Chowder last night! Seriously, why does everyone hate his cooking? It's amazing!

I move away from the punching bag, and slip. I start falling backwards, but someone catches me. Oh...

"Th-tha-anks..." I stammer looking up at Cole, my face hot.

"No problem."

"Uhh... Can yo-you pu-put m-me down?"

"Oh, yeah..." He blushes and lets me go.

"This roof isn't big enough for the five of us," Kai remarks.

"Correction. This roof isn't big enough for him," Cole says.

"It's like he's in his own world," Jay adds, "I bet he can't even hear us!" Nope, he doesn't respond... Ugh, I should say something.

"Sensei, Zane's weird," Kai says to Sensei as he approached.

"What is weird?" Sensei asks, "Someone who is different, or someone who is different than you?"

"Well, at least he's polite, unlike some people!" I say, passive-aggressively. I still can't believe I… Tackled him and threatened him… Why did I do that?! I should have kept my emotions in check! I shouldn't have said that either! Ugh! N-

"No, Zane is weird... Like 'weird' weird..." Cole says, and I sigh in defeat.

"I know, but Zane's a good teammate. He's smart and a cool guy," They all look at me and I am confused, "Wha... Oh..." That pun wasn't intentional!

"Yeah, I know what you mean," Kai says, agreeing with me for once, "We like the guy, he's just a... Uhh... little off sometimes."

"Zane is a brother, and brothers are often very different," Sensei says, and I nod in understanding, "I should know." But Sensei Garmadon is, well... Nice... It's the Great Devourer that is evil!

Suddenly a gong sounds, which is our doorbell. And, since it's officially episode two, it's the postman. Like normal, I'll have no mail... The others, sans Sensei and Zane, shout, "Mail!", while I am lost in thought and took off to the door. Which makes me more like Zane... Oh My God... What do I say when they ask why I don't get any mail?

"Hey, Zane and Sky, how come you never hear anything from your paren-"

"Ninjaaa go!" I cut him off.

I spin into Spinjitzu and attack the now unfrozen punching bag. I start training again and ignoring the others.

"Skyler?"

I punch the punching bag, hard.

"Hello?"

I kick at it, ignoring the others. Suddenly someone grabs my arm as I pulled it back to strike the bag. I am spun around to face an angry Kai.

"What's wrong with you?" He yells and I take a reflective step back, and the others just stare in shock.

"I-I... Wh-what?" He takes a step towards me and towered over me.

"Kai!" Nya yells, horrified at her brother's actions.

"You never open up! You cut yourself off! You ignore all our questions and never do anything but train!"

I had been backing up during that, and I back myself up into a wall, "Kai!" I yell out in shock as he pins my wrists on either side of my head, "Leave me alone!" What the hell has gotten into him?

"No, you're hiding something and I want to know what!" I can't tell you what! If I do, the world will get thrown off and Garmadon will win!

"Kai, I-I don't want to have to hurt you..." I tell him, but this only makes his tighten his grip.

"Tell me what!"

I try to kick his stomach, but he blocks me. He is stronger than me, and I can't do anything!

"Kai! Pl-please! G-get off m-me…"

"Just tell me what your hiding!" I struggle against his grip. I drop my head in fake defeat, but he just scoffs and held my wrists tighter still. Please! "I'm not falling for it."

"Kai, that's enough!" Sensei Wu snaps at last.

"But-" He starts, still not letting me go.

"Butts are for sitting!"

"I want answers and she's not giving them! She can either get away from me herself, or answer!"

"Kai!" Cole yells, "What's gotten into you?"

"Pl-lease!" I beg, "G-get off me!"

"Answer the 'godforsaken' question!" He does the 'quotation marks' with one hand, before using it to pin me again.

I struggle to get away again and I hear the other ninja arguing. After what seems like forever, Zane and Cole drag Kai away from me. I run off to the stables, whistling that four-note song to make Breeze come. I jump onto her back and fly off.

"Sky!" I glance back at Cole before looking ahead.

~Time Skip~

I sigh, looking at the sunset. I have to go back... But it's harder each day to hide my secret... Seriously, how would they react if I told them that I'm from an entirely different universe? I don't want them to know of my past, because I'll seem weaker. If they knew about my father, they'd try to protect me. If they knew about how different my world was, they'd never let me fight...

"Sky?" I hear Cole's voice yelling out, and I tense.

"Skyler?" I hear Jay's voice yelling out.

"Come on, Bree, let's get out of here."

I climb onto her, but she doesn't fly off. I whistle the four-note song but she doesn't respond. Suddenly she walks towards my friends' voices.

"No, Breeze! Wrong way girl!"

"Sky! There you are!" Cole yells and jumped off his dragon, Jay does the same, "I was getting worried..."

"Th-that what? That I-I wouldn't t-tell yo-ou wha-at I'm h-hiding?" I ask warily.

"I'm sorry I didn't help... I was too shocked by Kai's behavior to do anything!"

A sigh leaves my lips, "I... I j-just don't wa-ant you to know..." I say softly, looking back to the setting sun.

"Come on, it's Zane's night to cook," Jay informs, "And you must be hungry, you haven't eaten all day!"

I laugh a little, "Are you trying to bribe me to come back, with food?"

"I... Maybe... Depends on if it's working or not..."

"N-not really. I'm not h-hungry, but I'm not going to sp-spend the night out here."

"Come on then!" Cole says, before climbing back into Rocky, "Rac-"

I am already off, heading 'home', laughing but I can't make the worry in my stomach disappear.


Hope you enjoyed anyways! I really did try, but it wasn't easy with how much my head hurts... Please review! Every single one makes my day, even if it's criticism.
