The flight to the Bounty was silent and full of tension.

They had just finished their battle with Garmadon, but they knew Lloyd had faced the worst of it. Nobody talked the whole way; there was nothing to be said. Cole's arm wasn't bleeding as badly, but he had to get new bandages on it. Kai ended up with a few cuts and bruises, but thankfully nothing too bad. Zane had the best results, with no scratches whatsoever. Even though Lloyd hadn't even gotten a scratch, they knew he was hurt the most.

The sun was starting to set slightly, casting an eerie glow over them. Cole looked over the side of the dragon and flinched. The place he had known as home was…destroyed. Cars were overturned, small fires were still bright, and the smell of smoke was horrible. He saw some citizens had taken the role of searching for others and putting out the fires. He looked around for his home and sighed in relief when he saw it. It, along with other houses, had managed to stay standing perfectly. He knew his father was somewhere inside there; safe from the evil outside.

Soon enough, they had reached the Bounty. Nya, Jay, and Sensei immediately came out when they had arrived. Kai flinched when he saw Nya covered with bandages and a small wrap around her ankle. She quickly walked up to him and gave him a hug.

"Are you okay?" She asked with concern.

"Are you kidding me? Look at you!" He wasn't mad though, he was just happy that she was still alive. She smiled lightly and hugged the other boys with relief. She noticed Cole's injury and gasped.

"Come on, I have bandages over here." She grabbed his uninjured arm and led him inside. Lloyd trudged after them with his hands in his pocket, which grabbed the attention of his Uncle.

"I'm guessing the battle wasn't well?" He asked his two students. They both shook their heads and explained everything that happened. Once they were finished Sensei nodded his head and rubbed his chin.

"He will need time to heal, but he will be okay. It isn't easy fighting your family." Zane and Kai knew that he spoke from personal experience.

"Sensei, does this mean the final battle is still to come? Ninjago City is destroyed!" Kai asked with confusion and anger. He didn't bother to look at the City from the dragon; it was just too much for one person to take.

"I believe that only time will tell. But come students, you must rest. You've had a long day." They both nodded in agreement and headed towards their room to finally rest. Sensei made his way to the main room, where Nya was fixing up Cole's arm. Jay was sitting down nearby, watching the two from the couches. Sensei walked up and placed a hand on Cole's arm.

"How are you feeling?" Cole shrugged and moved his arm.

"Little sore, but I'll be fine. How's Lloyd?" Sensei shook his head and looked down at the floor. Nya sighed and sat down next to Jay. He crawled over to her, and sat on her lap. She was so tired from the battling; now she understood how tough it was to be a ninja.

She was about to say something, but she was cut off by the phone. Sensei quickly made his way to it and answered it.

"Hello? Yes, this is the Bounty, who is this? Ah, yes I see, that is great news. Tomorrow? Yes, that will be just perfect. Thank you, see you tomorrow."

Cole shot Nya a confused look and mouthed 'What the heck?'

She shook her head and shrugged as Sensei entered the room.

"That was the Tea Shop. They were very lucky and were able to get the Tea early. Tomorrow, Jay will be back to normal." Nya and Cole both smiled widely at the news and cheered.

"What do you mean?" Jay asked in confusion. He wasn't normal? The others looked down at him and smiled. Nya ruffled his hair and laughed quietly.

"It's nothing." He nodded his head, not knowing what any of that had even meant.


Kai and Zane walked into the room and saw Lloyd sulking on his bed. He was leaning over the side with his knees up on the post and his face in his hands. They looked at their comfortable and inviting beds before walking to him.

"Guys, I appreciate it, but I don't want to talk." He muttered to them without looking up. Kai ignored him and sat down next to him.

"Well I do. You okay dude?" Lloyd shook his head and turned away from him. Zane calmly walked over and sat down on his other side.

"Is there any way to make you feel better?"

"Yeah, if I had a different father." Kai frowned at that part and looked at the boy. He would kill for a father, obviously not one like Garmadon, but still! Zane was disappointed since he would do anything (not kill) to have his creator back.

"Well you can't. You're stuck with him as a father, and that's just how it's going to be." Kai shrugged, not knowing how to comfort him. Lloyd sighed and leaned back onto the bed.

"Honestly, why do I have to be the destined ninja? Kai, you'd be more than happy to defeat my dad!" Kai nodded his head in agreement; he wanted nothing more than to just beat Garmadon in battle.

"And Zane, you and the others would just do it! It's not that simple for me!" Lloyd felt his eyes sting again, but he refused to let any tears fall. He couldn't cry, he was too old for that.

"Lloyd, there is no other way to put this. You are the Green ninja, and you are meant to defeat your father. But you won't be alone; we are a family, and we will always be there for each other." Kai nodded his head and lied down next to him, and Zane lied down too.

"Yeah, through thick and thin. No matter how annoying we all get, we're stuck together." Lloyd chuckled and smiled at the two.

"You promise?" The only real family he had that he trusted was Sensei. He had no idea where his mother was, and of course his father wasn't an option.

"Yes."

"Duh!"

Lloyd smiled and sat back up.

"Thanks guys." Kai rolled his eyes and stuck his tongue out at the boy.

"Don't go mushy on me Lloyd." He mimicked from what Lloyd had told him other. Lloyd laughed and threw a pillow at his face. Zane and Kai both laughed, happy to finally have the ninja smiling.


The very next day seemed short to everyone. Nya and Sensei had both left a few minutes ago for the Tea, leaving five destructive ninja behind. They were shocked that the Tea shop hadn't been destroyed, but they decided not to question it. The boys were waiting in the main room, and decided to tease the young ninja.

"So, what do you want to do before you're older Jay?" Lloyd asked the little boy with a smirk. Jay looked up at him in confusion and tilted his head.

"What?"

"Oh, you don't know? You're going to be old like us!" Jay's eyes widened and he shook his head quickly.

"I don't want to be old! I like being a kid!" The others laughed at Jay's attitude.

"But then you won't get have that date with Nya." Cole sighed in fake sadness. Jay's head whipped to his direction and his eyes were larger than saucers.

"Date? With Nya!?" Cole nodded his head and put on a fake sympathy face.

"Yeah, you were supposed to go out with her but now you're too small. I guess I could just take her out if you c-"

"NO! I want to be older, now!" Jay cried out suddenly. The others instantly burst out laughing; Kai and Lloyd fell out of their seats on the couch and hit the floor.

"I'm living with idiots." Nya muttered as she saw the boys laughing at Jay. They all quieted down when they saw her and smiled innocently.

"Hey." They all said casually. She shook her head and walked over to Jay. She handed him a small case that had Tomorrow Tea inside. He looked at it in confusion, and looked up to her.

"Just smash it on the floor in your room, and you'll be back to your old self." She smiled and kissed him on the forehead. He looked up at everyone with an excited look and nodded his head. He sprinted off to his room, obviously wanting to go on that date with her.

Nya looked over at the boys with a suspicious look.

"What did you tell him?"

"Nothing." They all answered and smiled innocently…well they tried to look innocent anyways. She rolled her eyes.

"Right." Sensei walked into the room and they all sat down on the couches, waiting for the Lightning ninja's arrival. They all heard footsteps leading up to the room, and the door opened slowly. A teenage Jay walked into the room and he winked at Nya.

"So about that date…"
