Hey guys! I know I haven't posted in a while. I'm so sorry! But here's another chapter.
(Jay POV)
I struggled to open my eyes as I sat up. My whole body hurt and I was sore all over. I tried to recall what had happened, and it all came back to me like a punch in the gut.
"NYA!" I cried out as panic began to overwhelm me. All I remembered was free falling on top of Lloyd's dragon… Crud. That meant Lloyd, our one and only green ninja destined to defeat Garmadon, was missing too. I quickly scrambled to my feet to search for the both of them.
I took in my surroundings and sighed. It looked like I was in some kind of forest. The sun, which seemed to be setting, helped me see the green around me. Green, green, and more green. The shadows of the tall trees loomed over me.
A high pitched squeal escaped my throat without permission as I heard a moan to my right. I ran towards the noise and stopped when the sound ceased.
"Nya?" I called out. I prayed to every Ninjago god I knew, hoping that she was safe.
"Nooo…" A voice groaned.
I sprinted toward the noise again, the shadows falling across my path.
"Lloyd!" I shouted, surprised I was able to see him amidst the plants. I jogged over to where he was laying and helped him sit up.
"Where are we?" He asked rubbing his head and gazing at the forest around us.
"I have absolutely, positively… no idea." I responded. He looked at me, then the space next to me, then at me again.
"Wasn't Nya with us when we plummeted to the ground?" He questioned. I looked around worriedly, hoping that I would be able to see a flash of color that wasn't green. No such luck. The dragon, which had been next to Lloyd the whole time began to beat its wings, making the trees bend backwards from the force. It then roared out, a sound that almost broke my eardrums.
"Lloyd! What the heck? What's wrong with your dragon?!"
He opened his mouth to answer, but right before he could say anything, I heard the distinct sound of my name being called. My head snapped towards the direction. The dragon, once again, bellowed, making the ground shake. The call came again, a bit closer this time, but still too far away.
"Come on Lloyd. I have- I mean, we have to get to Nya." I tore through the leaves and plants towards the sound of Nya's beautiful voice, Lloyd not too far behind.
"Nya!" I shouted. "We're coming Nya!"
I ran, desperately looking for some hint that she was around. I began to panic until I collided with a force that knocked me over. Alarmed, I looked up and my breath stopped. Two big, dazzling brown eyes gazed back into my own. Nya lay on top of me, her gorgeous black hair falling over the right side of her face like a curtain. My heart beat accelerated and I could only hope that she wouldn't be able to hear it.
"Jay?" she whispered and rose into a sitting position, still on top of me. I could feel the heat rush to my cheeks as her angelic voice said my name. All I could do was nod as I gazed up at her, completely dazed and completely aware of the fact that she was now straddling me in an effort to see me better. A smile lit up her face, leaving me more dumbfounded, and she bent down to hug me. My heart, which had been breaking records with its speed, stopped.
"H-Hi" I stammered. I couldn't think through all of the emotions I was feeling. Her face was inches away from mine. She was so incredibly close to me, so close that our noses were touching. Everything was perfect, she was safe, I was safe, and she was so close that all I had to do was move my lips-
"Ahem! I'm standing right here you know." Lloyd's voice called out. We turned our heads in his direction, and Nya, realizing he had been standing there the whole time, shot up and off of me, dusting herself off while a stunning red began to bloom on her cheeks. She walked over to him and gave him a hug.
"I'm happy you're okay Lloyd." She said. Lloyd hugged back and I glared at him over her shoulder for ruining the completely perfect moment. He gave me a confused look, then shrugged.
"Well, now that we're all together, I can get us home." Nya declared happily.
"What do you mean? I have no idea where we are." I asked her, bemused.
"Neither do I, but I know a way we can get out of here and show the rest of the group we're okay." She rose her wrist and I saw her red bracelet. "You guys did put that tracking device on the Samurai X suit, right?" She asked.
I smiled. Was this girl brilliant or what?
"Yup, it's all ready for you."
"Wait," Lloyd said. "What are you guys talking about?"
"My suit will come to me when I press this button," she said indicating to the red button on her bracelet. "If the ninja aren't home to follow it, they can come after it when they do come home and the computer shows our location."
"Oh."
She looked down at her bracelet.
"Ready to see if our tracking device works?" She asked me, a nervous smile on her lips. I smiled back at her.
"Is there ever any doubt?" I asked with a playful grin.
We all watched as she pressed her bracelet.
"Now what?" Lloyd asked.
"Now," Nya began. "We wait."
Hope you guys liked it! I'm sorry I haven't been posting, I'll be trying harder to start up again.
