[It was the first day of school, Ed and Edna fastened the bookbag onto their son's back, yet when they dropped him off, Jay looked up at the building, chills running up his spine]

Uh, mom? I'm not sure if I can do this...

Oh, Jay, it'll be alright, the first days are not so bad, just go in there and learn, make friends, have a good time-

Eh, what your mother means is, that she hopes you have a good time in school, now remember here's your lunch, lunch time is at 12:00, we'll pick you up at 3:00. Have a good day, son!

[Jay watched his parents drive off, he turned and entered the building, he had a feeling something was going to be terribly wrong]

[The first few hours were ok, he was in fact interested in the Mechanics Club, and Science, he might join the club after school, however he hasn't made any friends so far, which made him worry. What was wrong with him? Was he too weird for everyone?]

[Finally the lunch bell sounded and all the students reported to the cafeteria, Jay sat alone, while other people sat together in groups. Jay sighed and reached into his packed lunch to find his mothers famous PB&J. His mouth watered and he leaned forward to take a bite. However the sandwich was slapped out of his hands, Jay looked up to see a ruthless face. Jay gulped.]

[All eyes turned to his table, the bully eyed Jay and snickered]

You the new kid?

U-Uh...y-yes?

[The kid grabbed Jay by the shirt collar, the young boy dared not to make a move]

C-Could you, please let me down?

[The bully pulled Jay close, until they were eye-to-eye]

A little word of advice: stay out of my way...or else things could get ugly. Got it, nerd?

[Jay nodded rapidly, allowing the bully to release him]

Good

[The kid walked away. Jay gulped and shakily ate his lunch, why do these things keep happening to him?]

"OW! Ow! Hey! Quit poking!"

Garmadon poked at Jay's feet with his bamboo staff, Sensei threw what looked to be faux lightning bombs, they exploded smoke not actual electricity. All Jay had to do was dodge the bombs as best he could without getting seriously hurt, that proved to be a challenge since Garmadon was throwing him off balance, but that was all part of the training.

Lloyd watched anxiously, "Uh, whats the point of this exercise?"

"He learns to dodge the lightning bombs as best he can without falling," Wu explained.

"Shouldn't we use real lightning?" Lloyd asked.

"Are you crazy? One hit and he goes down for maybe two days," Garmadon replied.

"Just thought it would motivate him more," Lloyd uttered, glancing up at the lightning ninja. Jay was struggling to dodge, it was hard since there were more of them, but he had to try in order to finish this, he didn't want to be the one left behind. But yet still, he hated training, it was like doing chores, but much harder. Jay was caught off guard and so a lightning bomb hit him, he went down, "AH!" He landed hard on his back, making it hard to stand up. The two Sensei's came over to him, making sure he was ok.

"Good work, Jay, however you haven't exactly mastered the part of 'avoiding injury' yet," Garmadon stated with a hint of sarcasm. Jay glared at him, "Ya think?" The young man brought himself up and brushed the dirt off himself, "This is all just too difficult."

"I know, but we have to prepare you for Pythor," Sensei stated.

"Him? Pfft, he probably has an army up and running, searching all over for me, and your telling me I have to train? We might as all be dead by then," Jay spat.

"We have to try," Wu encouraged.

"Try. Huh, yeah right, Sensei I've tried for the past few days, but really? All I see from myself is a failure," Jay stated. The three all grew quiet, Jay turned around and walked away, he was fed up with this.

Wu was going to call after him but Garmadon insisted to not, "Let him go, let him cool off his frustration." Wu looked after his student and sighed, he felt troubled, "He might not have enough time to train, I believe him, but still he needs to prepare himself, or who knows what Pythor is capable of?"

Garmadon put a hand on his brother's shoulder, "I know how you feel about this but he's right. Our time is limited, we have to train him with everything we have, then maybe he'll be prepared to take on Pythor on his own." Wu sighed, "I hope your right brother."

Jay looked back and shook his head, how could he beat an Anocandrai? He couldn't even beat one Serpentine by himself, including the Fangpyre, the Venomari, and Constrictai, as well as the Hypnobrai, he was useless, unlike the others. He shrank down under a tree and covered his face with his hands, he groaned in frustration, "I'm a failure..."

"A failure?" Jay jumped at the voice, he looked up to see Lloyd hiding in the trees, his eyes narrowed, "Lloyd, what are you doing up there?"

"Listening in on your talking. You think your a failure?" Lloyd asked in disbelief. Jay humphed, "What makes you think otherwise."

Lloyd slid down next to him, he motioned to himself, "Your one of the people who trained me, and I say you really are a good teacher." Jay looked at the young green ninja, confused, "I couldn't help you control your power."

"Yes, you did," Lloyd replied. The green ninja opened his palm and made a ball of light emit, Jay watched the light dance in his hand, he then looked at him, "So?" Lloyd closed his palm and shook his head, chuckling, "I never thought that I would become as powerful as you guys, but guess what? I did, with the help of Zane, Cole, Kai, and you." He pointed to Jay, the lightning ninja however turned away and continued his lament, "I'm still not as good as you think I am, I failed to control my powers and for that I say I deserve to be left behind."

Lloyd crossed his arms, "Lies." Jay turned to Lloyd, "What are you saying?"

"I read Sensei's journal entries, and when he wrote about you he stated you were the most important, it seemed you were like the glue of the team, always keeping us together no matter what," Lloyd stated. Jay stopped and listened as he continued, "What I'm saying is, without you, none of us would be here today, if it weren't for you. Your no failure Jay, remember that." Jay looked down, and then smiled, he faced Lloyd, "Thanks, kid."

Lloyd gave a light grin, "No problem." They brofist (Yeee PewDiePie X3) and that's when Misako called them inside, saying dinner was ready. Lloyd immediately sprung up from the ground, "Coming, mom!"

Jay chuckled upon seeing the green ninja scamper inside, he then stood up to join them, however stood a moment before thinking back at what Lloyd said.

"Jay? You coming?" Garmadon asked, coming up to him.

"Uh, yeah, I'll be right there," Jay replied. He followed the Sensei inside, not noticing a familiar feathered friend up in the trees, though the 'friend' was no longer present. Electro smiled, "I finally found you, blue boy."
