Chapter One

The One in Vapor

Wrestling around in his covers, sweat poured down his neck. The quiet night was disturbed by only the soft snores of the others and his muttering.

"Stop…who…are…you…"

He was in the streets of Ninjago, the buildings crumbled to dust on the roads before him. The air was stuffy and humid, his throat scratching for water. Before him, a hazy figure hovered, dark smoke surrounding them. The figure's hand raised, sending a trail of smoke hurling towards him. But before it reached him, he sprung up in his bed.

Breathing heavily, he tilted his head back and shut his eyes. Lloyd, it was just a dream. Relax. He exhaled and turned to the small window across the room. Moonlight seeped in through the blinds, casting a soft glow on the floor. He shifted down the ladder of his bunk bed and stepped lightly onto the wood, heading towards the door.

The wind blew past him and underneath the sails of the ship as he leaned against the edge, staring up at the stars that covered the sky.

"Couldn't sleep?"

Flinching, his teacher appeared beside him.

"I had a strange dream."

"Hmm. Dreams can be tricky." Sensei Wu said.

"I was in Ninjago City, one of the outskirts. I don't reme –"

"If you feel you need to go, you go. Simply put."

"I guess I feel that we should survey the areas again."

"No guessing. You must feel confident in your decision. Guessing can be a great thing but remember, every great thing will not be guessed."

"Alright sensei." Lloyd said, rubbing his eyes. "The ninja and I will head for Ninjago City in the morning."

…

She woke up to a bang. Jolting up with a gasp, dust clouds swirled about in the orange light of the sunrise. A dry breath escaped her lips and she rolled over on her stomach, sliding her fingers through bands that she had attached magnets to, chilled from the night before.

Stretching out her palm, a metal rod leaning against the wooden post began to quiver. Clang. It shot out and she closed her fingers around it. Pulling herself across the planks, she reached the edge and swung herself over. Catching the ladder, she slid down the metal, her feet landing on a pile of rubble in the alley below.

Jumping back against the crumbling building, she looked over her shoulder as she stepped over bricks and scraps of metal that littered the road. Closing her eyes, she felt the sunlight hit her face and the wind drift in through the alley, tickling her shoulders with her hair and brushing the exposed skin her bandages did not cover.

She breathed in and out until she could feel her heart beat thump faintly in her chest. Focusing on the flickering orange behind her eyelids, her mind wandered outwards. A faint feeling filled her head. Hot. Clenching. A small burn in her chest.

And then she sensed something else. Cold. Tightening. A quiver through her body. Her grey eyes flashed open and she leaped out into the street. Throwing her rod, her feet landed and she sprinted towards the nearest pipe as loud bangs blasted bits of debris into the air.

Grasping the pipe, she scrambled up it as her palms stuck, metal to metal. The street became quiet except for the scraps of her climb and the pounding of her heart. The small sound of a click reached her and her hand shot up as three bullets whizzed toward her. They clamped against her hand, the sound of the blasts going quiet.

Flipping over her magnet with her fingers, her palm extended and it began to hum. From a window further down the street, her pole shot out and returned to her. Clank. There was a tare of clothing on the end of it.

Grabbing onto the ledges and crevices in the walls, she pulled herself up through the window. Her feet touched the wooden floor of the room and she jumped over a fallen man at her feet.

Looking around, a woman and small child were tied up in the corner of the room. A few paper bags were shoved in the back. Spiderwebs dangled from the ceiling.

Darting to the bags, her hands dug through them until her fingers squeezed into fruit. She bit into one with her teeth and approached the mother and her child. The rope dropped to the floor after a few untied knots and she ran. Reaching the window, she turned back at the two still huddled in the corner, the sunlight shinning down on them. She rested a small fruit on the ledge and disappeared out the window.

…

Lloyd gripped tightly to the chains as he looked over the fiery green wing of his dragon. Not one of the tan and white buildings were without crumbled sides or half of the roof fallen off. Piles of concrete and stone covered the roads, untouched dust resting upon them. Pulling his green mask over his face, he sunk into the saddle and the rising and falling thumps of his dragon.

The day was clear and a light breeze blew past his face. Squinting, he caught a flicker of light in the street. Pulling on the reins, he hovered over the buildings, peering down. Then, he spotted it. A girl ran along the side of a building, crawling over rubble and holding a pole in her hand. Her body was wrapped neck down in bandages, blending her into the buildings and rubble. She froze as a static voice filled his ear.

"Anything, Lloyd?"

"Ya. I found a girl–"

Suddenly, a feeling swelled up inside his chest. The streets became quiet. He noticed the empty buildings. There was no movement. No sound. Silence. He whispered into his mask,

"I'm getting a different feeling about this place. There might be an elemental user here."

"Remember Lloyd, you are only there to help."

"I know."

The static in his ear disappeared and he let himself relax, releasing the reins from his grip. His dragon flashed out of sight and he landed on a roof. He ran to the edge, catching a glimpse of the girl before she disappeared behind a corner.

Shaking himself, he jumped over the road and landed on another roof in a sprint towards where she had gone.

…

Her stomach gurgled as she bounded over a heap of rubble. His scuffle from building to building echoed through the empty road and she released the rod from her hand. It shot into a crack and she landed on another mound of bricks, gripping onto the decaying slabs. She scrambled to the top, sending bricks tumbling to the ground, and jumped. She reached out her hands as she fell and clung to her rod. Swinging herself up into the air, she landed on top of a tall pile as green ball of light shot past her.

Freezing, her heart pounded in her head as a bang exploded behind her. She spun around as the boy jumped down from a roof and landed at the bottom of the mound. Standing still, her eyes honed in on his green suit. She focused on his movement, his hands grabbing onto pieces of brick as he climbed. His eyes flickering up to her. His chest rising and falling quickly. She let her feeling fade away from her body and focused on him. He sucked in a breath, his shoulders stiffening.

She threw her pole down towards him and he rolled to the side. Losing his grip on the pile, he began to slip down towards the road. Flipping the stone in her hand, the pole flew up to her. She grasped it and ran.

A bang blasted from behind her and she stumbled as the boy soared over her head and landed in front of her. Her pole collided with his fists and she spun around, her rod thwacking him in the side. Gripping the rod with both hands she pushed against him, struggling against his weight.

Suddenly, she let go of the pole and dived off the mound. As he tumbled forward, she rolled down into an alleyway and reached out her palm. A second passed. Two seconds. Her magnet stayed still. The boy then jumped down, blocking the opening.

Her arms shook as she backed up towards the wall.

"Who are you?" the boy asked.

"Why would I talk to someone trying to kill me?" She said, glancing around the alleyway.

"I'm just trying to help."

"It would be better if you left me alone."

She sprung up on a pipe and pushed off the building.

"Wait!"

A green flash of light blinded her vision as she jumped, erupting her head with pain. She fell onto the ground and everything went black.
