AN- Thanks for the reviews everyone! I'm glad to write the story again!
Now, let's start for the review Solidground- If you really want me to add Cole mysteriously appears to save past Cole then I'll add it if you want it badly. But that will happen later on.
In case you haven't read my bio, I enjoy making story with action/adventure. If you're not a fan of romance, I'm one of them. But JayXNya is cute so I added the relationship a little.
Enjoy~
The Ninjas patiently waiting for young Leader Cole return with news. Kai been sleeping for few hours since Cole left. He commanded to stay put. Jay and Zane are having a conversation on each others about the difference of their era. Zane was observing the past themselves and he was shocked how the past is in devastated situation. How Kai eventually supporting Cole and help him freed the prisoners. It is cloudy evening. Outside feel chilly because the rain has set in but Zane don't feel the difference of the cold breeze. Expect heat like active volcano. Heavy pour of rain landing above the roof and the window. The past Jay sat near the window and stared through the glass and he been quiet all of a sudden because he is worried of Nya. Since he escaped with Kai and Cole, what will happen?
Kai staring the ceiling laying on the guest bed. He impatiently drumming his fingers on the fabric and thought of his brothers arrived without anything to take them back. But Cole disappearance what worried him sick. He came to find him and then he haven't seen him at all. Kai rose from his bed, to his feet, and exiting the room to see Cole has return.
In the living room, psat Zane made sandwiches for lunch. Then the door slam open violently on the entrance. It was Cole. He arrived while his head covered by his hood from the rain. The Ninjas rose where they sat and happily to see Cole return.
Zane, held the plate of sandwiches offered his leader lunch "Sandwiches, Cole?"
He grinned and grab one "Thanks. Alright, what I gathered is the skeletons new post."
Past Jay rose to Cole "Any else, like Nya?"
"Yeah, there are more guards tha usual. Jay, I'll tell you the skeletons post for Four Weapon Shop,"
When Cole finished his sentence and handed past Jay the list, Kai entered the room because the noise caused by the door. He was alert but he relaxed when he saw Cole return. The Ninjas gathered near Cole and Kai approached him.
"Hey," Kai only said. He heard the rest while he slowly approached the living room.
"Hey-" Cole look closely to Kai and met with his eyes "You don't look so good, are you okay?"
Zane replied, he sensed his brother emotion. But at least he got his strength back "He has a little mental illness. He is upset because my brother Cole is missing."
Past Cole nodded and responded "Kai, don't worry. We'll find him soon. Because we're heading out soon as possible."
"Why in the hurry?" Past Zane said, raising a brow.
"Yes, let's go!" Kai shouted.
"I heard the skeletons plan is to find us and kill us. And Nya death is coming up commanded by Lord Garmadon in one hour and I came back as soon as-"
Past Jay eyes widen and snapped "FUCK THIS! AND LET'S THE FUCK GO!" his tone irate echoing the room.
"Then let's go! This stupid shit wanted Nya dead?! They took Cole and. Wait, any new update for him?" Kai yelled.
Past Cole didn't reply. He gave him a look and shook his head. Kai looked from Cole to the floor. Zane rested his hand on Kai right shoulder for comfort. While Zane comfort Kai, young leader went to his backpack and sling it over his shoulder.
"Alright, alright! We'll go!" Cole yelled. The rain finally stops.
Kai look to Cole and remember something "Wait, there won't be enough room on the Ultra Dragon."
Cole went to the door and rested his hand on the knob and replied "The Ultra Dragon stay here in the Village to protect. Boys, we are going on a mountain hiking."
The Ninjas raised a brow of confusion. Before any Ninjas object Cole idea, they followed along.
For 20 minutes of sprinting through the hill, they finally approached infront of the mountain where Cole suddenly stopped his trail. The Ninjas stop when the leader stop. While Cole glancing the large mountain on the Ninjas view, Kai snapped.
"What the fuck are we here?! We're wasting time-"
Kai stop when Cole reach his Golden Scythe of Quake from his back and on his grasp. Cole turned to his team.
"I hid something before this happened. And away from the skeletons from using them for advantage. But now, its time to shine because this is important." Cole said, a slightly grin on his face.
He turned to the mountain and then slammed his Scythe on the ground. The fissure created and spread across on earthy ground and touched the mountain. The mountain splits into two and show a color of fire red colored and a flag show the first thing. The Ninjas gasped, but mostly Jay happily to see the bounty.
"The bounty?! Y-you hid it here all the time?" Jay spatted. Cole nodded.
"It's going to be dusty in there since I haven't use it when our team suspend. Let's go, now we have a ride to fit all of us at once."
The bounty sailed through the sunset violent-blue skies above ground. Although, with the strong gush of wind blew the dust piled on the bounty deck and the window they open purposely. Cole was driving the bounty and taking them to the Four Weapons Shop, where Nya is held. The 5 Ninjas on the deck and Kai, Zane, and Jay guided the past them to use weapons again.
"No! You had to avoid the blow from the enemy by using your nun chucks as a shield! Not run away!" Jay snapped past himself. Young Jay shakily grasping his nun chucks like he never use a nun chucks before. But he was nervous.
Kai is here to help, at least "C'mon, you're a Ninja. The skeletons won't hurt you anymore."
"It's been years that I haven't held it before!" Jay whined and gestured.
Past Zane heard the conversation while Zane is helping him "Actually, it is been months. It haven't reached to a year."
"Yeah, idiot." Jay smirked slightly to past himself "I wouldn't give up anything!"
"You call yourself an idiot, idiot!"
"Hey! At least I don't give up! And remember Nya is in trouble!" Jay said, with a serious face.
Jay glanced to Zane and he knew he was going to say something. "Don't, I know you're going to say that I give on the Great Devourer! And I just explained it."
Kai smirked widely and lightly punch Jay "Yep, loud and clear. And I don't even know. You guys share a same mind." He turned to past Jay and approached to his view.
"Look, I know it's been a while, but you gotta try. It's Nya sake. I'm going to help and Zane. Do it for Nya." Kai said to encourage past Jay.
That make past Jay feel more confident and strong willed. He wielding the nun chucks and grasped tightly. He swing the nun chucks to get the feeling of sensation once more. Kai patted past Jay on his back. Zane approached Kai and went into groups what past Earth Ninja assigned them. Jay and past Zane went to the control room and Kai, Zane, and past Jay stayed on the training deck.
The speaker went off. It was their captain "Okay, we're arrived. But I can't go any closer near Four Weapons Shop. You need to go bare foot." Cole said through the speaker. Then it went off.
While Cole lowering the anchor, Kai helped past Jay on his back and muttered "Damn, I wish we arrived on Four Weapon shop!"
Zane, while he grabbed the chain and climb down and replied "Cole know what to do. There are more skeletons than usual. And he doesn't want the bounty to be taken or destroyed. It is better than nothing."
Kai lightly sigh and climb down the chain with Zane.
"Plan N- Nya. We're coming to rescue you!" Past Jay said. Embraced what lies ahead.
(AN- In case on the separate team goes. They only traded Jay only. Not to get you confused. I get confused also. REMEMBER, Past Jay goes with Kai and Zane to rescue Nya. And other blah blah. ENJOY!)
Jay, past Zane, and past Cole flew off with the bounty when Kai, Zane, and past Jay went to their objective. When the 2 enter the room, Cole responded quickly to one of the present member.
"Turn on your communicator, Jay. We need to find me."
Jay nodded and look to his communicator and finger his communicator screen. Past Zane approached the large screen, but it has worn out over the months. That capture Jay attention. He rose to the large screen and rest his hand on the power source.
"Hmm... need some power... and some tweak."
Past Zane look to Jay on his right "Maybe I can give out some power."
Jay shook his head while he reply "No, no. Save your energy."
"Yeah, save your power Zane. We are going to search me for a while. Until then, if Kai, Zane and my team Jay return with Nya. That will be big help... for Kai." Cole said.
On Kai team, the Ninjas sprinting through the plains supporting the young Lightning Ninja on his back. Once they get a view on the mountains where Kai lived. Past Jay guide them and Cole tell him where the guards post also. Kai felt exhausted carrying past Jay for 17 minutes on his back. He slowed down taking some breather. Zane stop when he stop.
"Want me to carry Jay this time?" Zane offered a helping hand on his brother.
Kai shook his head, gasping. "N-no, I- I'm good. If I can carry Nya, then I can carry him."
Kai took only 3 minutes and then went off and Zane follow once he start sprinting. Past Jay have a clipboard on his hand. It has list of skeletons guard and watch tower that past Cole listed. So basically he's in charge to guide the present teams safety. He cannot fight, but Kai and Zane know well since they are from the future.
When they reach to the bushes where the crossing dirt road lead to Kai's home Village, Jay immediately haut them.
"Wait, stop here! Cole told me some of the skeletons post here. Kai, do you have some climbing skill to reach to your shop?"
Kai smirked; he nodded, use his index finger to point the certain spot and reply "Of course. This side. I use this route to escape my prank on bullies at school!"
Past Jay chuckled silently "What did you do?"
"Oh, its a secret. A prankster never tells their secret." Kai replied.
With a new pinpoint, the Ninjas silently sprinting off to the side of a mountain. Zane was on the front while Kai fall behind. Of course, he's helping Jay up to the hill. Once they planted their feet on the top ground, Zane need to be fidelity for any enemies nearby. Kai finally made it to Zane, gasping heavily. Past Jay tap on Fire Ninja on his left shoulder.
"You can put me down."
Kai obeyed and reply "Next time *huff* in my present time, I'm going to force you to carry my stuff."
Zane recapture the 2 Ninjas attention with a respond "We need to focus. Jay, where are the post for the skeletons?"
Past Jay gazing the dead Village where not one living thing live here. More like an after life since the Village is crawling with skeletons. Past Jay pinpointed and 3 Ninjas nodded and sprinted off without further question. The Ninjas avoided the skeletons gatherings their watch tower made of bones. During stealth mode, dodging the horde of skeletons, they finally reach to Four Weapon Shop. The shop has a cage door and few guards infront of the entrance. Behind the trees and bushes, the Ninjas crouched down and past Jay responded.
"Cole told me Nya is making skeleton weapons in there. And I heard she been brutally tortured since the skeletons forced her to do so... Fuck, they will pay!" Jay growled.
Kai eyebrows squinted together enrage for hurting Nya. He had to protect her! Hurting Nya will pissed him and he will charge recklessly. But he had to control his rage since they are lots of people life's at hand.
"Alright Jay, what else?" Kai said to the young Lightning Ninja.
He point another area on his far right. Two watch tower. The light beam aimed the ground near Four Weapon Shop "There, someone had to go and take down the guards so they won't alarm the whole crowd of skeletons and we will be outnumbered and capture or killed."
"Crap. We're wasting time!" Kai snarled.
Zane rose from a crouch position and stood straight behind a tree and responded "I'll go and take down the watch tower."
"Okay, good luck. But hurry!" Kai responded. The Ice Ninja nodded and sprinted into stealth mode and disappeared on the Ninjas view.
Kai turned back on Four Weapon Shop and whisper "Jesus, I hope Zane get there now."
For several minutes, Kai saw the watch tower light beam turned away from the Four Weapon Shop. Kai and past Jay glanced the watch tower and saw Zane waving to the Ninjas. Kai and past Jay gives him a thumbs up and Zane climbed down for another watch tower.
But while Zane climbed down the wooden ladder, Kai and past Jay heard the conversation and vehicles arriving infront of the Four Weapon Shop. They stop infront of the shop and 2 of the skeketons from 2 vehicles approaching on the guards of Four Weapon Shop.
"What is it?" One guard demand an answer from the private.
"Sir, we receive a telegram from Lord Garmadon. He said to kill Nya now."
"Kill Nya?"
"Yes, immediately."
"Right now?" The guard asked.
"Yes,"
"Like right now, right now?"
"YESSSS!" The private yelled.
Kai and past Jay gasped. But one of the watch tower haven't been claimed. Since no one can stop the 2 Ninjas stopping their actions, both sprang from their spot and charged to the skeletons. The second watch tower skeleton spotted movement on the light beam like someone pass above the circle. He swift the light to the movement and then yelled.
"Ninjas!"
The Ninjas paused to see the light aimed where they stood. They heard skeletons charging from the Village.
"Aw shit! Became reckless for both of us. Let's fight and get Nya free from this goddamn saken place!" Kai yelled. He immediately covered his identity by placing his hood over his head. Kai went his way while Jay went off somewhere. The light beamed on Kai since he is a dangerous one that start his assault.
Kai use spinjitzu "Ninja-go!" and take out the private with one blow. He also use spinjitzu on the skeleton vehicles so none won't use to ran over them. He landed safely on the ground and glanced the guard with a hard look. Both charged to Kai and he battle.
Once the guards charged to Kai, past Jay sneakily went to the cage door and yelled out "Nya! Nya! Please, are you there?!"
He saw a shadow approached to the cage door. His hands are shaking in fear because if Nya is okay. A shadow merged near the door and reveal of a lass face rested on the bar.
"Jay? Is that really you?" Past Nya said.
"Yes! It's me! We're here to free you!"
"We? Who is with- never mind. Jay, please, get me out of here. One of the tower have the key to this cage. Can you get there?"
Past Jay rested his hand on Nya hand on the bar and smiled "I will. Hang in here!"
Past Nya narrowed her eyes to see someone is with past Jay and his face covered in darkness by his hoodie. He slammed the skeleton and they collapsed. Some of his spiked hair peaked out and the light capture Nya attention and she lift a brow.
While Jay take few steps to go one of the watch tower, Zane approached from the shadow and grasping Jay shoulder. That made Jay jumped. He immediately turn to see the Ice Ninja.
"Where are you going?"
"Zane! Is that you?" Nya smiled. Though, the darkness barely show her expression.
Zane didn't say anything and focused on past Jay like he got errands. "I need to get the key from one of the watch tower!" Jay replied.
Zane elation with a smile and give something past Jay. He give past Jay a skeleton key that is attached on a large metal hoop. Jay gaped when Zane give him a key.
"That's awesome! How did you-"
"There was one key dangling on the wood. I thought it might be useful." Zane said.
With that, past Jay went to the cage and found the hole that fit the key perfectly. The next thing, the noise came from the door and then he open widely. Nya raced to Jay and embraced him a hug with a tight squeeze. She shed a tear of joy and Jay feel little tears landed on his shoulder.
They been hugging for at least 1 minute. Then a voice has recapture the members attention. "We need to go, now! I can't take all of them!" Kai cried.
Zane, past Jay, and past Nya went to the shortcut while Kai defend with all he can. He raced off to his team while the skeletons tailing them.
Once they approached to the cliff, Kai called "This way! This is where you can slide down safely to the ground."
Zane took off the hill first, past Jay and Nya followed, and Kai with the last touch before he leave. He used his katana and injecting it into the mountain cliff, created a rock slide, blocking the secret route. A skeleton will take a while to remove an head-sized rocks since they don't have strength. The team left seen when they sprinting to the plains.
Once they are far away from the ravaged Village, Zane reached his communicator and call Jay.
"Kaszz... Jay, we have free Nya. Where is Cole?"
"Kaszz... Oh, really? Ny- Hey, wait Cole!"
"Good work you guys. Now, try to get to Ninjago City where we are now." Past Cole said through Jay's communicator.
"Alright. But how the fuck can we get there without a ride?" Kai snarled.
"Oh, yeah. I planned that out. I know going bare foot will slow us down. Zane with me already send his falcon to the Ultra Dragon to give you a quick ride. Nya is coming with us no matter what." Cole replied.
Kai also turned on his communicator and respond to the group chat "When will it arrived?" Nya was astonished to see those kind of technology.
When Kai wondering the Ultra Dragon arrived, past Jay spotted the dragon far and reply "Closer than you think, Kai- oops."
He totally forgot about Kai. The Ultra Dragon landed near the team. Kai give the past Jay a hard look while Nya gasped.
Past Cole sigh "Great Jay. We have to go." Jay got his communicator back and reply to himself "Great past me- Okay, okay Cole. Sheesh. Lightning Ninja, out."
"I knew it! It was you!" She immediately give him a hug. Kai paused; but he hugged her back. He miss his sister dearly. Zane and Jay explained what happen to her in their present. It seems the present Nya has sent to the Village. But she must be saved where they rescued her. Kai sigh and remove his hood and grabbed Nya shoulder.
"Nya, I'm not the Kai you're expecting to see. He's working with Lord Garmadon and-"
"I know. I heard the skeletons were talking about you."
"You're not mad that I'm not Kai you wanted to see?"
"Why would I be mad? I will never be mad at my brother from different era. He will always be there for me. No matter where or what kind of situation, we are family." She smiled and Kai hug her again. Whenever where you from what era, they will be family as always. It won't changed at all.
Past Jay get past Nya and Kai attention "Let's go you guys. The Ultra Dragon give us a free taxi ride."
Kai and past Nya nodded and he helped her up to the Ultra Dragon. The Ultra Dragon spreads its wings wide and flapping them to hover above the ground. The Ultra Dragon and the team new objective, Ninjago City.
During the Ultra Dragon transportation, Kai aided Nya wounded area from the skeletons. She had a bruise on her arm and her legs. Also a scratch on her cheek. Zane is helping Past Jay by replacing the old bandages for a new one on his back.
"You okay Nya?" Kai asked kindly.
"Yeah, thanks Kai." Kai nodded and said "Just a little more." Cute how brother help a past sister. Usually Nya helped her teammates, mostly her brother because of his actions.
"Done." Kai said while he uses the last medical supplies on Nya and Jay.
"Done." Zane said also. While Zane glances to Kai and Nya, past Jay twisted his body.
"Oooh... my back feel so GOOD! You're good future Zane!" Past Jay said with amiable tone. Past Jay continued "Are we there yet?"
"Almost." Zane said.
"So we are going to meet the rest huh?" Past Nya said, wondering.
"There's no other place but to fight back." Kai insisted.
"I guess so."
"Anyway, Cole plan was to get Ninjago back to its original. You want to join? Look, I don't want you to be in this but-"
"Still the same Kai. Of course. This is important you say. I wanted Ninjago back to its place." Nya smiled as she lightly punched Kai on his shoulder. He let out a smile also.
"Alright then, let's go!" Kai shouted throughout the sky. Energetic to reunite past Nya and going to help the past himself.
-The Present of Lloyd's P.O.V-
What the fuck? Why is the skeletons are here?! And why is my dad with me? But the most disturbing part, why am I a kid again?
This is- this is I really want to spend time with my dad before I joined my uncle. Wait, uncle... The Ninjas! Where are they?
I take a look around. I passed some skeletons and they haven't tackled me or anything. Strange.
Dad... I'm sorry but I chosen to be a Ninja. Kai and the others courage and they are like my family.
When I approached near the window, I saw a view of Ninjago City. Wow, I done to become a ruler of Ninjago with my dad! Woo! Yeah!
No! NONONO! I'm Lloyd! The chosen one! My dad courage me to join his side... wait, where and how this appeared?
I see... my dad told me to join his side. Yeah, but when did I accepted his offer? My dad told me to choose what I really want but what replaces it that I remember my dad tagged me along. It seems fun...
No! I already made my decision.
I took a long stroll on the mysterious place. Then I found myself on the entrance of the place. When I exited out from the entrance, I turned my body 180 degrees...
Wow, what is this? I saw the skeleton guard right in my view so I ask.
"Hello, where are we?"
"Why Lloyd Garmadon, this is where you lived. The Dark Castle!" The Guard said as he slammed his spear on the ground.
Dark Castle? In Ninjago? Kai told me the story that he and his gangs went to underworld. But how is it above ground?
I don't have time, I need to find Kai and the others! I ran away from the Dark Castle before any skeletons could stop me.
I encounter myself a weird smog circulating around, blocking Ninjago City street. I manually enter, holding my breath to find a way out. I found myself out of this smog and shocked to see more skeletons?! I just had to play along.
I exited out Ninjago City and tries to find Kai and the others. In the outskirts of Ninjago City, I found myself a disaster place where I left. I'm so tired. Darn with my little legs.
What the hell is going on here? I yelled throughout the outskirts to get answers from my friends.
Kai?
Cole?
Jay?
Zane!
Nya!
Uncle!
Come on guys!
Anyone? Please help! Where's my friends? I gotta find some answers. I'm losing my mind! Fuck! Oh my communicator!
When I take a quick look on my wrist. Unfortunately, its not there. BULLSHIT! Am I too small for my communicator on my wrist?
Great... Just great.
Then I spotted Zane's falcon. YES! I yelled at my falcon to get its attention.
"Hey! Over here!" I shouted.
The falcon notices me and approached to me. He landed on my shoulder with a loud chirp.
"Hi! Do you know where Kai and the others?" I asked.
The falcon nodded. I'm glad that Zane's falcon was keeping an eye on the skies for us! Then he showed me a video.
The video showed us during the battle of my dad. Kai fall in to save Zane? What? Jay got whip marks out of nowhere?! Not my awesome hilarious friend! I... I disappeared from the bounty and Nya? Where is she? I remember now! Whoa, Ninjago City has changed and my uncle disappear behind Cole?! Cole and Zane went to Ninjago City I see. Oh, they return back to the bounty. Where are they going? Oh, the Village where Uncle get his tea. But why?
The falcon tape has ended. I gaped to see so much activity I missed out. Maybe I should find more answer from my dad. I got to find my friends! I'm going to find my friends and figure this once and for all!
The falcon was still on my shoulder as I ran back to Ninjago City.
AN- I hope you guys notice I fixed my grammar :D. I added Lloyd's POV because in the past, Lloyd tries to help the Ninjas. But the present Lloyd tries to fight back. He cares about his friends. Nice, isn't it?
The next chapter is the longest! Seriously, has like 7k words! Because this is the big event out of whole chapters here! Except chapter 5.
See you later! I start the Poll. Please know that they depends on favs Ninjas. The most vote for each Ninjas will appear more in my storylines!
