Hi guys! Sorry, this chapter took forever to write! I've been having bad writer's block, so I had to resort to an old fandom to reinvigorate mah brain!
Disclaimer: I don't own Ninjago or Mythology. I know you're sad.

"Masi's hurt," Jay whispered. The poor red-head had been psyching himself out ever since he heard about his daughter's injury.
Kai wasn't doing much better. He kept envisioning the worst-case scenarios of his missing daughter. Sweat trickled down his face.
Zane had been unusually quiet. He had been contemplating his worry over his family. He missed Pixal and Chip dearly, and he worried for their unborn child.
Cole's eyebrows knitted together in concern for his daughter. The fight with the demon had opened his eyes to what they were truly up against, and he knew the evil Gods would be stronger. They had lucked out to even have help from his mother and Kai's parents. He knew they were lucky to have only encountered Gods on their side, but if Adamina, Hiromasa and Caroline had been on the wrong side...
This war between the Gods and Goddesses scared the ninja out of their wits, mainly because they all knew they couldn't do anything about it except hope. It scared them that they may not even be able to defend their own families. If the evil Gods won the war, Lloyd would be the last reliable line of defense...
"So, son," Adamina skipped ahead a few paces to catch up with her son, "to get yourself off of all the terrible thoughts that must be running through your head right now, tell me: you said you had a daughter?"
Cole nodded. "She...I adopted her when she was little. Her mom had died while they were out on a walk and she came to me for help. I sent the mother to a hospital, but they couldn't save her. I looked into who the father was but never found out, so I took her in." A small smile lit up on his lips.
Adamina smiled. "What is she like?"
"Her name is Artemis. She's eighteen years old. Her hair is long and curly, it's dark brown and is really soft. Her eyes are big and light blue. Her smile is beautiful. She loves to cook, study mythology, and study constellations." A soft smile appeared on Cole's lips. "I love her like she's my blood daughter."
Adamina grinned at her son. "She sounds wonderful!"
"She is," Cole said, "she really is."
A few feet ahead, Hiromasa stepped in between Kai and Jay and put a hand on either boy's shoulder, then said: "So, tell me about my grandchildren. You first, blue boy."
"He has a name, Hiro." Caroline muttered.
"What's your name?" Hiromasa asked.
"Jay."
Hiromasa nodded. "You first, Kay."
Kai snorted.
Jay scowled silently, then started. "Masami Nya Walker, age thirteen. She's finishing up eighth grade. She's half as tall as I am, and she long, curly red hair with strands of black intertwined. Her eyes are as blue as the ocean, and she has lots of little freckles on her cheeks and her nose. She has Nya's dimples, so when she smiles, it's just...precious," Jay smiled, "She loves robotics and making new things."
Hiromasa chuckled. "Sounds like my girl when she was little. Nya was always building random stuff and giving it a name and a backstory."
Jay sighed at the mention of Nya. "Yeah. Nya was so creative. Guess Masi got it from her mom." Jay smiled sadly.
"No, no, Jay, Masi definitely got it from the both of you," Kai corrected, "and she won't stop talking. Sounds like someone I know."
Jay rolled his eyes but didn't hide his smile.
"She sounds like a sweet little girl," Hiromasa said, "what about you, son?"
A sad smile crept across Kai's face. "I have triplets: two boys and a girl. The first one is Renzo. He's thirteen, along with the other two. He has dark brown hair, and he has light brown eyes. He loves learning about cars and, like his dad, girls." Kai chuckled. "Sumi is just like his brother. He's got the same hair, but darker eyes. He, too, loves cars, but also enjoys sports. My daughter, Aaliyah, has long, red hair and deep amber-colored eyes. She likes reading and enjoys shopping."
"They all sound wonderful," Hiromasa smiled. "I hope I can meet them."
"I hope you can meet them, too." Kai agreed.
"Guys! We're almost there!" Lloyd yelled. They were at the outskirts of the city and now were at the valley which they typically crossed to get home.
"Hmm," Adamina hummed, bending down to the grass. Little droplets of water clung to the tips. She stood up and looked at the beginning of a forest. A few trees were on their sides.
"They have been here," Caroline muttered.
"It looks like they were in a fight!" Hiromasa exclaimed.
"With what? Or who? Adamina, is this the spot where they captured Poseidon?"
Adamina shook her head. "No, that was miles away. We must hot on their heels."
Hiromasa grinned, and lit his fist on fire. "Then let's get hotter."
"Enough with the puns, Hiro!" Caroline said, throwing her hands up in the air.
Hiromasa sighed and looked at his wife. "Dear, puns are a part of being an elemental master."
"Come on!" Kai yelled.
The group raced across the valley until they reached the gravel road that would eventually lead them to their house. Quickly, they followed the road until the house came into sight.
"We're he-" Cole was cut off by a massive roar.
"...What the hell was that?!" Kai asked.
"One of the other Gods are here," Caroline said, "and so is Nya."
"TIMBEEEEER!"
