Jay's pov

I walked until I couldn't walk anymore at least that's what it felt like...my arms shivering in the cold night air as the wind began to chill me to my core. I walked into a wood and followed a muddy path until I found an area which could provide some form of shelter. I took refuge under the canopy of a large old tree. One side of the tree trunk was covered in a soft dry moss, it looked so dark and inviting as I leaned back against it and closed my eyes in an attempt to escape from my dream memories.

My tears left tracks on my face as I truly registered what had happened to me before I used my final wish...I was conflicted, a part of me couldn't believe that my 2 closest brothers would do this to me and another part of me wasn't sure. My heart was breaking as I tried to understand why...but it didn't happen...time turned back...why am I still feeling the pain? I sighed as I fell asleep under the tree feeling so cold and so alone...they hate me. "Argh why do I feel like this?" I shout as loud as I could...not caring if I woke anyone.

The sun woke me up from another repetitious nightmare, the same as before. My eyes are feeling heavy and I remember again. I stand up and stretch then my back hurts...no, it doesn't just hurt, it stings and feels like lots of little blades are piercing my skin. That's not far from the truth though is it?...I mean it did actually happen even though there is no mark...I feel like I'm losing my mind...I can't cope with this constant conflict. My mind says it was real as does my body, but my eyes tell me it's not...I sigh as walk to the nearby river...I sit carefully, it still hurts there too. I look solemnly into the river and I cry...it did happen but my last wish amended the course of time.


A few hours later and everyone was awake on the Bounty, no-one had actually noticed that Jay was missing, he had been quiet this past few weeks, not himself at all and they had all grown used to it.

Cole asked first as he was going back to get a third helping of waffles and hadn't even seen Jay grab a plate yet "Where's Jay?".

"I don't know bro, maybe he's outside" Kai shrugged as he got up and walked away with a waffle hanging out of his mouth, "Maybe Zane knows".

"Jay is not on this ship, I sense he left sometime during the night" Zane stated.

"Err ok, that's not good...he's not normally secretive is he?" Cole asked.

"Cole, I sense Jay has been hiding something from us, Nya too...if memory serves me correctly both Nya and Jay have strong memories of what happened with Nadakhan".

"Cole, I suggest we speak with Sensei, he will want to know about this".

Sensei had just eaten and was busy reading scrolls when Zane and Cole came in to tell him that Jay was not on the Bounty. He was strangely calm and collected and he spoke clearly but quickly to the 2 ninja in front of him. He was aware of the situation and he was advising the ninja's that they would need to find him as soon as possible.

"He might attempt to fight you if you find him but you need to bring him back here...I fear he has changed somewhat since his unique experience with Nadakhan".

"And by unique I mean that it was only experienced by Jay, they both had different experiences good and bad but I suspect there is something deeper relating to him, he needs to be brought here as soon as possible, then I can attempt to help him".

"The spirit smoke will explain some of it, but if I get Jay to relax enough I can attempt to hypnotise him. Allowing me an insight into his world might just give us all a glimpse into what he can see that we can not".

"Do you all understand me, time is of the essence".

"When you retrieve him bring him to the hold, I will need to spend some time with him alone".


The ninja had set off leaving Nya in the control room with Sensei and Misako in the hold setting up a cage suitable to hold a dangerous person. Zane had managed to find a trail that roughly matched Jay's pattern of foot size and stride so they followed on foot for an hour until they came to a wooded area. Zane scanned the area looking for signs of recent disturbance. He saw areas of compressed moss signifying someone had slept here recently. "Hang on brothers, let me just scan this area here...ah yes...my scans show that someone has been sleeping here...I have also found a strawberry blonde hair which I believe matches Jay's...the dna result shows that this is a perfect match so we are on the right trail".

Zane motioned a different direction as he scanned the floor noting more foot print leading away and to the nearby river that could be heard. The brothers came out into a clearing and say Jay sitting on a moss covered rock with his head in his hands, he was sobbing for some reason...Zane immediately felt concern for his brother, what could be so bad that he could not share with us? he thought.

The ninja all slowly made their way to the clearing and called his name gently so as not to startle or scare him, they didn't want him to run, they wanted to know why he left without speaking to anyone. Jay turned around and scowled at Cole and Kai...


YOU!...what do you want, his eyes were staying focused on Cole and then switched to Kai's...You both did this to me...I trusted you...now look at me, look at what I'm reduced to.

I could feel my element building up inside me...is it linked to emotions?...all I know is that I wanted them both to suffer...my hands began to crackle as electricity was emitted from my hands.

"What's got into him" Cole said quietly "He's hum, different"

"Err guys are we supposed to fight, fight him?" Kai said a little nervously.

"I mean we've never actually FOUGHT him before and especially in this state...sparring yes but this?".

"I have a feeling we have no choice Kai, but we best be prepared" Zane stated as he prepared to shoot a small ice flurry at Jay in an attempt to calm him.

This ice attack just made Jay worse...he shouted in anger and tried to shoot a lightning bolt at his nindroid brother but Zane quickly dodged, he was expecting that counter attack. Cole took advantage whilst Jay was focusing on Zane, he attempted to knock Jay's feet from underneath him with the blunt edge of his scythe but failed as Jay sidestepped the manoeuvre..."ha nice try...I was expecting you to do that"...Jay hissed as he swung a punch at Cole which hit the target and startled him as he'd intended. Cole stood back feeling hurt but he knew what his sensei had said, they needed to bring him back to the Bounty.

None of the ninja wanted to hurt Jay but the longer this fight went on, the more likely it was going to happen. Kai attempted to punch Jay when he recovered from Cole's attempted knock down and watched as Jay quickly sucker punched Cole on the jaw. Jay was fast, very fast he ducked in time to avoid Kai's attack and lowered himself to the floor; with a swift sweeping action of his leg he managed to knock all of his brothers off their feet.

"Guys we're running out of options here, we don't want to use our weapons and we don't want to hurt him...but we need to subdue him...I don't think there's any chance in hell that he'll come back with us without a fight" Cole shouted as he got back up and rethought this plan of attack.

"How is he doing this? " Kai shouted as he picked himself up of the floor again following another attempted blow from Jay.

"Adrenaline" Zane stated calmly "LLoyd try hitting him with an low pulse energy ball" He added.

"Are you sure Zane, I don't want to hurt him?"

"Just do it already" Cole shouted

"Sorry Jay this might hurt a little" Lloyd said as he created his energy ball between his two hands and then thrust it towards the elemental master of lightning. Lloyd watched as the ball found its target, he cringed when it hit Jay...he's never had to do that to his brother before. Jay was knocked down by the small blast and landed on his back a few feet further away from his brothers. He didn't move, he was out cold.

"That seemed to work Lloyd well done" Zane replied

"Thanks I think...of course it would work...I'm the elemental master of energy duh" Lloyd countered

"I do not understand duh" Zane stated and looked puzzled at Lloyd.

"God you two, its just Lloyd being Lloyd can we get on with this please" Cole shouted as he rolled his eyes.

"Come on guys we need to get him back, preferably before he stirs" Lloyd motioned to his team as they swiftly followed on foot.


The team made their way back to the Bounty with an unconscious Jay, they had been advised to put him into the hold where a cell was located for his and everyone else's protection. After all they didn't want a repeat of the earlier fight to break out.

When Jay woke up he found himself behind bars he registered confusion as he frowned at his new surroundings, this wasn't where he slept last night...he was in a daze, not really awake but not asleep. He was sitting up when Sensei Wu came to visit.

Wu sat outside of the bars and proceeded to light the sticks and essence to produce the desired spirit smoke, he wafted the smell towards Jay and waited for him to completely relax...a large clock was swinging in the background and the smell permeating the air in the small room made Jay relax further as his eyes closed.

"I have come to talk to you Jay, I fear you are hiding something from me".

"I'm not hiding anything Sensei"

"Jay please I need you to tell me what happened...what are you keeping from me? just relax and breathe" Sensei said quietly.

"I-I can't it h-hurts too m-much" Jay sobbed uncontrollably as he began to hyperventilate the spirit smoke was forcing him to relive the worst 24 hours of his life in gory detail.

"Calm yourself Jay, you need to focus, you must control your breathing" Wu soothed in a calm voice which carried across to Jay.

"Can you tell me what you can remember, where were you?"

"I-I was a prisoner...the Misfortunes K-Keep...he made me w-work night and day...tried to break me" Jay was struggling to breathe as the tears were beginning to flow.

"Can you see what happened...were you hurt?"

"Yes, it hurt, i-it really hurts scrap n tap...no rest...and they're b-both here with me...argh w-whats happening?"

"Who is with you Jay"

"NO...GET OUT OF MY HEAD...OLD MAN" Jay suddenly said with a sharp tone different to his usual voice. His eyes were wide open and he was scowling evilly at Wu..."YOU could have stopped this...but you didn't".

Wu was shocked at this new event, this was something he was not expecting. Something had got hold of Jay and was taking over his head and he knew it had something to do with Nadakhan. He didn't look at Jay after that, he just got up and left him in his cell and walked away calmly and back to his students.

Wu approached his students and warned them about visiting Jay...he knew that his mind had been altered by something or someone and he needed to find the key to unlocking this mind...the delicate mind of one of his treasured students.

He read the scrolls to see if any of these ancient articles held any details that would explain this phenomena his student was facing, there was nothing. He sat down and began to think, he was too troubled in mind to concentrate on meditation and he needed to find another way of getting through to Jay...he stroked his beard...of course hypnosis would work, but only if Jay is tired.

Jay, or the real Jay was locked inside his own mind...conflict battled against his own mind as to what was real and what was not. He was incarcerated in body and mind, he wasn't considered dangerous as such as he was in a vengestone cell...something Wu really disliked having to do but he had no choice.

He warned the other ninja to stay away until Jay had calmed down and then later they would attempt a hypnosis session. Sensei Wu added that he would try again tonight when Jay was sleeping and this way the spirit smoke could show what Jay was seeing whilst he dreamt. Zane agreed that this would be a good idea as it would help them as a team to understand what Jay experienced on board Nadakhans ship, helping them piece together what actually happened.


Jays altered pov

And so it begins...I relive my worst nightmare in front of everyone I know...well everyone on board this ship.

How humiliating for you Jay...I mock my weaker side and laugh when I hear a muffled sob.

Wu again...this old man wont give up...he sits in front of me and I in front of him...my physical self is in a trance...sort of sleeping peacefully...well it's not actually peaceful...it's a nightmare...the same one every night.

Jay... or the weak Jay is locked away in here somewhere...he doesn't say much now...it's been too long...the darkness is beginning to take over because he refuses to talk about his pain...I smile.

I see his friends enter the room...so called friends as they sit around him looking scared...YOU should be scared, I have nothing to hide...Jay does though, he is embarrassed but I don't care.

The spirit smoke fills the room and I feel the smell enter my nose...Wu orders me to sit and I do as I am instructed...I begin to answer the questions verbally even though my body does not stir... my eyes remain closed as my memories are shown in the smoke.

I show what is hidden in this mind...Jay's mind...I say what he was too scared to say, I tell them how I was led by Cole into Nadakhan's bedroom. He ordered me to drink a large amount of cider...I felt ill...he said it was to help me relax...my physical self cries...I watch as my friends look in shock...I see Lloyd shaking his head his head as he covers his mouth and nose with his hands...DO YOU WANT ME TO CONTINUE LLOYD , precious golden master?

Lloyd immediately becomes aware that something is not right in this room, he heard the voice clearly but no one else did and it asked him a very specific question Jay was looking straight at him but his eyes were closed.

"Yes" Lloyd squeaked as everyone looked at him perplexed.

"Then I shall continue Lloyd just for your benefit".

Lloyd was frightened at what he was hearing his eyes were wide in fear, only he could hear it...Jay's voice but a more sinister sound to it, an evil presence almost, Jay's closed eye gaze reverting back to Wu.

I continue to answer the questions...aware that one of my friends is becoming increasingly uncomfortable...I-I trust you Cole...I say as he orders me to lay chest down on the crate...I feel uncomfortable as the ropes are secured to my hands and feet.

I look to my side and see Cole...a frown plastered on his stunned face...and I continue...I feel my gi being ripped away with force...Cole whispers things to me, the pain of his words cut deep...but deep down that must be how he feels right?...they all left me in the cave to fight the tiger widow, they didn't care.

I can sense all eyes are on me as I continue to share my repressed memories...oh come now I haven't even started, this part is lame...Cole asks me to open my mouth and I do...Jay apologises for some reason that escapes me...Jay's memory replaying the verbalised words..."I'm s-sorry"...I look for reassurance and I watch as Cole nods...I comply with him...I trust him implicitly...I see Kai approach me and he tightens my bonds...I cannot move, the ropes dig into my skin and keep me in this position...until they see fit to let me go...'Cole I-I'm sorry for being useless, please forgive me'...Kai gets a piece of cloth and shoves it roughly in to my mouth...I taste blood.

"Having fun yet boys? I say out loud in my new voice "would you like me to continue?"

Everyone in the room gasps...its like they're scared of me or something...but I don't care...really.

"You all heard that right" Lloyd whispered to silent nods.

"What is going on here Sensei" Nya asked with tears in her eyes.

"Jay is reliving his suppressed memories, they did actually happen in his mind but just because most of us cannot remember doesn't mean that Jay can forget".

"It is also important to note that these events did take place, Jay used his third wish wisely but the events did happen as he said...we just need to hear and see them for ourselves which will help him to recover and us to understand".

I continue again...as another image comes into view...Cole says 'Yes Jay, I'll forgive you...when hell freezes over'...I am confused...my mind wants to leave this bedroom but my body stays...I feel the sting as the whip catches my skin...it takes me completely by surprise and I let out a muffled shriek...9 horrific marks begin to ooze a crimson life essence as the whip is removed from my back, only to be hit again.

The image in the smoke is as clear as day now...it's like watching a horror movie...except the person in front of you is the victim...everyone is watching my torture session...Cole looks even more green that he usually does, sickness threatening to overtake him...Kai has lost almost of his colour from his face...but I continue...the image reverts back to the three people in the room and I'm still tied to the crate...my back is bleeding...I can feel pain...but the whipping has stopped...I see Cole approach me he says 'I hope you're having pleasant dreams Jay'.. as Cole shouts 'remove his clothes...all of them'...

I see Wu stop for a brief moment...the constant barrage of questions he asks have subsided for the moment as I hang my head...I can see even though my eyes are closed...I can feel even though I am caged...all Jay feels is pain...but I don't care.


Wu warned everyone that this would be a long night, he asked Lloyd and Misako to get more spirit smoke supplies as the hypnosis session would be better if the entire memory was revealed rather than doing it every night. That could prove to be too draining for Sensei Wu and Jay.

I begin again from where I left off...Wu asks me questions and I answer them..."What happened next Jay?"

"Do you REALLY want to know Wu?" Sensei was surprised by this question, the spirit smoke and hypnosis when used like this shouldn't allow the unconscious seer to say anything unless asked, and answering a question with a question was odd...this was supernatural at it's best...a dark magic perhaps.

"Please continue Jay" Sensei Wu nodded respectfully, he didn't want to upset this strange entity.

The image in the spirit smoke reveals the same room again with the same 3 people.

I watch as Cole removes my gag and asks me a question...'Cole is that y-you?'...Cole replies' Yes Jay, I'm here...there's one more thing you need to do before we go'...I ask my most trusted friend a genuine question 'Will it hurt me, because it hurts...it really hurts'...he says 'No Jay...oh look Kai is here too" I think he wants to help'...The gag is shoved into my mouth again...I feel a foreboding sense of dread build up again.

The vision begins...I see Cole remove his clothes...he is positioned behind me...his breath is on my back...his hands on my hips...I feel a deep pain within...I register what is happening and I begin to choke on my gag as vomit comes up my throat and into my mouth...Cole continues to cause me intense pain, the humiliation crashing down.

My body betrays me...it wont move...I cannot move even if I wanted to...and I wanted to...my muffled screams of pain only seem to drive him on...he continues until he is ready to give in to his own needs...

"You can stop this at any time Jay, all you have to do is wish it all away!"

Within a few minutes he had finished, a simple whisper was all that was heard.

"Thank you." He said as he pulled away from me. I was in so much pain but no one cared.


Cole was crying as he was watching and hearing this turn of events, Lloyd was reaching his arms around him as he attempted to soothe Cole. The pain on his features was plain to see, he had no recollection of this so why could he see himself in the spirit smoke doing this to his best friend.

Kai was holding a hysterical Nya, she was blaming herself...she should have taken his hand and none of this would have happened, she had no idea what Jay had been subjected to until now.

The only part so far, that made any sense was the spoken part of Cole, it was very odd that he would even mention about wishing it all away, which made the atmosphere uneasy, Sensei came to the quick conclusion that Nadakhan was the main culprit in this and Cole was furious that the evil Djinn would sink so low as to use his and Kai's form to break his best friend like this.

"Please Jay...continue" Sensei spoke again

I see Cole...he is walking away...cleaning himself up and he is smiling...I think he enjoyed it when I was crying...I heard Cole shout to Kai, he was invited to join in...he approached me and said without speaking.

"I'm gonna enjoy this." He simply stated

As before, I felt the humiliation and the intense pain building up, Kai is very rough with me more so than Cole...but my body, it can't take anymore, the exhaustion is too much for me to bear.

It would seem that no one can hear me...the gag is still there. My voice and body betrays me, I'm so weak that I can't even fight back anymore, wh-what have I become?

How long have I been in here? The dream feels like minutes yet the sun has risen and I'm still tired, 6 hours according to the clock and swinging pendulum.

The spirit smoke reverts back to grey as everyone in the room digested what they had just witnessed. Yes it was a lot of new information to take in and all of it was created by Nadakhan and his crew, he was truly evil and Jay had indeed been his prisoner.

No one for one moment thought Cole or Kai would be capable of this act, but in Jays mind that's what he saw because that was what Nadakhan wanted him to see.

Everyone left the room no one dared to look at Jay, they were a little scared by his new ability to communicate with them telepathically, but they were also incredibly concerned for him. Cole and Kai were both heartbroken all they wanted to do was hug Jay tightly and tell him it was ok that they would never do that to him, they loved him.

Wu had advised them to keep away, he still needed to unlock Jay's mind, the memories were out in the open for everyone to see but there was something else now, something dark put there by Nadakhan.

Zane was having difficulty putting the pieces together, he couldn't understand how Nadakhan had manipulated the situation to suit himself and in doing so he catastrophically destroyed Jay's strength and resolve. Zane had felt to blame as he couldn't remember the sky pirates at all let alone the fact that he too had used 3 wishes.

Nadakhan had won...even though he was defeated he had still won. Nadakhan didn't have Djinnjago or infinite wishes but he had succeeded in destroying the blue ninja...he had broken him, although obliterated would have seemed a more appropriate word.

The remaining crew of the bounty retired to their rooms, the hour was late and there was no training scheduled for the morning. No one was going to sleep tonight anyway.

Nya was still crying and Kai had to hold her in an embrace as he soothed her to sleep on the sofa, he kissed her head as tears fell down his cheeks. Fucking sick bastard, what the fuck did Jay do to deserve this? He thought, he closed his eyes and let out a huge sigh. At least I know now...we all do...oh god...Jay...what do we do? He fell asleep next to his sister but his dreams too were filled with flashbacks from the spirit smoke.

Zane and Cole were talking to Lloyd about the visions they saw, not one of them believing that Cole or Kai did that to Jay.

"Look it's gonna be a long road to recovery for Jay...I mean he's pretty messed up right now" Cole said with a sigh as he lay back on his bunk.

"I sense Jay is fighting something within, you realise our brother communicated with us telepathically!". Zane said as he lay on his side in his own bed.

"I don't like the sound of that Zane, that's not right...since when has Jay had that ability" Cole said worriedly.

"Since about 5 hours ago" Lloyd shuddered as he remembered the distinct voice clearly yet no one else had.

"I don't know, it's as if he could see all of us...I mean he didn't even open his eyes but he knew where we were all sitting" Cole said as an uneasy feeling came over him.
