Okay, so last night was pretty eventful. I need to get my story straight. Well, we were celebrating in the Forest of Tranquility. Even Sensei danced. I whirled by, and danced with Cole, the old boy-girl way. I was laughing and singing by the firelight, by the moonlight. Kai looked overjoyed. He just might find his sister again.

I went to sleep, but woke up in my tent in the middle of the night. I got up, slipped on my shoes, and started for the woods. I swore I heard footsteps in that direction. I followed the sounds to... the Fire Temple.

It was marvelous. It was a ruby and terra-cotta temple built on a volcano.

Q"Whoa." I said, my breath taken by the awesome sight. Then I heard Kai yelling. I ran into the temple, to find Sensei Wu floating down a waterfall of lava, into the Underworld.

"No." I heard Kai say softly. Then I saw who was with him.

"Is that...Nya?" I asked.

The girl had light skin like Kai, and the same, fierce, loving eyes of a warrior who has everything to lose. She was about my age, if not a year younger, perhaps fifteen. Her black hair went to her shoulders, and her thick black bangs fell to her perfectly arched eyebrows. Her dress was red silk with golden phoenix designs.

"Yeah." Kai said. Nya stepped up to me.

"Hi, I'm Nya. Who are you?" She asked, a bit bewildered.

"I'm Shana, I'm a friend of Kai's. I've heard a lot about you." I said.

"Pleasure to meet you." Nya said in a matter-of-fact way.

"What happened here?" I asked.

Kai explained, crestfallen. I listened, as I saw the hurt, the regret, the guilt in his eyes. "It's all my fault." Kai choked out at the end. I stroked his arm gently.

'It's okay. We're going down to the Underworld. If you guys could work on trying to find and tame the Fire Dragon, it would really come in handy." I said, taking charge.

I ran off to find the camp abandoned. I ran to hear Cole and Zane struggling and grunting. Jay was just struggling and making primitive noises. Gerda was shrieking about how she was Garmadon's daughter.

"What happened?" I exclaimed.

"They took the Weapons!" Cole said.

"Get us down from here!" Zane said, I gave a sly grin.

"Huh, for once, the female is in charge. I'm gonna remember this." I said, then untied them. I noticed Jay wasn't saying anything, which was odd for him, as Zane and Cole relayed the story. Gerda just glared at me.

I took a look. "Looks like your larynx is dislodged." I said. "It'll be a while till your voice comes back, so I suggest you be patient." I said.

"I can translate." Zane volunteered.

"Excellent." I said. "By the way, who hit you?"

Jay glared at Cole. It didn't take Zane's translation for him to notice.

"Anyway," I said, hastily changing the subject "do you want to get them all back in one stroke?" I asked. I explained Kai's story. We all ran for the Fire Temple.

When we entered, there Kai was, with Nya, mounted on a fiery red dragon. Cole screeched and jumped behind a stalagmite.

"It's okay. I explained to him that we're trying to protect the weapons too." Kai explained. I smiled. "Well done Kai." I complimented him. The ninja of fire nodded thankfully. "There's no way we're going to fit on that...thing." Cole protested, and recoiled as the dragon looked him in the eye.

"You're right Cole." Kai said, grinning slyly.

The other three dragons descended and set on the ground. I walked over to the Earth Dragon, and scratched his chin, and joined foreheads.

"You're a good boy, aren't you?" I said. I turned to face Cole.

"He's a nice dragon. Cole say hi!" I said, trying to coax Cole. Cole shook his head. I shook my head, and pulled Cole to his feet, and dragged him over to the dragon, and helped him on the dragon, then boosted myself up.

"Nice dragon, nice nice- whoa!" Cole exclaimed, as we took flight.

After a series of portals, we finally came into the Underworld. We were hanging on these long, spindidly tree branches:

"Can I just say it's been wonderful since Jay lost his voice?" Cole said. Right then, we realized we were hanging on spider legs. We landed in the middle of a hoard of skeletons. Jay got his voice back ,and suggested the Tornado of Creation. The great thing about Jay, when he does shut up, is that he's pretty clever.

I realized my element, and joined the tornado.

"Love!" I shouted, and my pink tornado joined the monstrous storm. We created an emo carnival for the skeletons, and raced into the throne room. There, Sensei and Samukai were fighting. Just when Samukai won, the weapons spun wildly and he...vanished from existence, and turned into a portal.

"Fool! Not even I can handle the Golden Weapons! But I will be back, ninja!" Garmadon vowed, then hesitated for a moment. "Gerda, I'm sorry for leaving you. Just know, that despite everything, I love you and am quite proud of you."

Gerda sneered at him. "Proud? You left me! In a coma for hundreds of years, no less!" She shrieked.

Garmadon regarded me somewhat sadly. "Try to remember, Shana." Then he stepped through the portal, and disappeared.

We retrieved our weapons, and our camp supplies, and returned to the monastery. Now I can focus on a couple dates with Cole...

Yet we must be ready for when Garmadon returns. And what about the memories is so important? I should probably get some rest. I'm going to try tonight without the sleep meds. With an actual bed, my back should heard up much faster.
