Another chapter this week? gasp!

The group was on their way to the shuriken of Ice, located in the Frozen wastelands. So they'd known their path would be cold and filled with ice and snow. What Calli didn't think would happen, was that they had to cross a giant frozen lake. Even worse Cole, who usually was strong enough to steer a ship like, this was having trouble due to unusual currents. So, to say she was uncomfortable right now was the understatement of the past, present and future centuries.

Calli was currently standing near the sail of the ship, hands clinging to the wooden pole as she tried to calm her nerves.

Shehatedwater or feared it rather. All the experiences she could remember with bodies of water was her nearly drowning.

The girl had, however, no choice but to move out of the way when Kai, who was a lot more relaxed now than when they boarded, started to practice some moves. Forcing her to the edge of the ship. At the same time Jay had distracted Cole from steering the boat making it able for the currents to ram the boat into an iceberg, and while the ship miraculously escaped, Calli had no such luck. The rocky movements of the ship forced her out of balance and tossed her over the side, right into the freezing water with a scream.

The icy temperature hit her like a brick wall as flashes of a storm started to dance for her eyes again. She could hear people screaming as the waves pushed her under. In reality, the currents just swept around her, seemingly getting worse the more she panicked. She wasn't strong enough to swim up and her lungs slowly started to burn as the cold seemed to steal all the energy she had in her body.

Suddenly she felt something grab her hoody and all the energy returned as she started to trash and then… she could breathe again.

"Calm down, It's just me." Cole. That was all the conformation the girl needed to stop trashing and break down in sobs, muttering the words. "Get me out." over and over like a mantra.

The boys had been shocked by Calli falling over the railing, but even more so when she didn't come back up. Cole was the first to react, discarding the black "jacket" of his Gi, leaving him only in the black t-shirt, the moment Jay exclaimed she couldn't swim.

Once back on the safety from the boat Calli felt like she could breathe again. While the wind was warmer than the water had been, due to the soaked hoody it felt twenty times colder.

"Are you wearing something under it?" Zane asked. Calli nodded and with some help from Kai she managed het pull it the hoody off, revealing a light blue tank-top. She thanked whoever it was that put something warmer and dry over her shoulder.

"Are you alright?" Sensei asked.

No, no she wasn't. She was still stuck on a ship in the middle of icy water, currently freezing underneath a blanket.

"Yeah."

"If you don't know how to swim maybe you should've stayed behind." For once there wasn't any spite or annoyed undertone in Kai's voice. It sounded worried.

"I can swim." Calli breathed as she managed to stand up. "My body just freezes up the moment I touch a body of water."

"How come?" Cole, who had quickly returned to his position at the helm, asked. Calli just shook her head.

"Let's not dwell on that now, there are spare clothes below deck, same goes for you. We wouldn't want anyone getting sick." Sensei told both of the freezing teens. Jay took the rudder from a reluctant Cole as Calli made her way down.

The only spare clothes she fitted was one of Jay's spare Gi's and even those fell kind of large. She had managed to roll up the pipes of the pants and put them together with safety pins, but the sleeves were even worse. So, in the end she opted just to go with a tank top but that wasn't an option seeing as it was still freezing outside.

"Come here." Calli jumped as Cole started to secure the sleeves and managed to tie together the belt in a non-awkward way.

"Thanks." She breathed. "for saving me too."

"No problem, but next time just tell us, it would have saved you a lot of trouble."

Calli just nodded and averted her eyes. "I will." It wasn't a direct promise but enough for the black-haired teen as they walked back up again.

"It wasn't me!" Cole yelled as the ship landed itself on land and the sails froze over.

Kai, who had been trying to create a Tornado of creation, A Spinjitsu move which could only be accomplished if all the main elements, meaning the boys their elements, were combined and had the power to create something out of nothing, to quote Sensei Wu's explanation, Looked at his hands.

"Did I do that?"

"No. We are here." Calli didn't need to be told twice as she jumped out of the boat, glad to once again feel solid ground, or snow in this case, under her feet.

What she was looking at was a pretty beautiful sight. A tall mountain made of Ice surrounded by northern lights and a spinning vortex of clouds above it.

She followed the boys inside the mountain, even if to be away from the river for some time.

Inside there was just one huge hallway, broad and high, full with Skulkin soldiers frozen in blocks of ice. At the end of the hall the golden shuriken were defying gravity as they hung about 20 ft. up in the air underneath another dragonhead. Well, that was just great, If the caves of despair had been anything to go by.

They formed a pyramid, Jay, Kai and Calli on the bottom, supporting Cole who in turn helped Zane reach the Golden weapons.

The moment he grabbed them however, the dragon sprung to life, effectively freezing the White Ninja and collapsing the cave. The group didn't know how fast to retreat, carrying the frozen Zane as the large reptile gained on them. they turned into a narrow opening, effectively trapping the dragon inside it's cave as they made it out.

However, the pathway was very slippery and they quickly ended up using Zane as bob-sled. Calli knew this was going to end badly before they crashed into the last of the gateways. It effectively freed Zane from the ice but gave the others a couple of bruises long the way.

With the Frozen Wastelands done, the next stop would be the Floating Ruins to get the Nunchucks of Lighting. The boys went up this one alone as Calli stayed behind with Sensei.

Jay had managed to beat Cole to the top and grabbed the weapon with a loud cheer, only to stop once a flash of thunder revealed the silhouette of a Dragon, wings spread and ready for attack.

The Blue Ninja jumped down with a loud yell. The others soon followed his example. Leaving the Skulkin confused as Jay used his glider to get down safely. He had made them on the way here from the Frozen Wasteland for him and the others.

Happy for a break of sneaking, running and icy rivers, Calli was happy to get a campfire starting and make some dinner. Having to cook for herself for 4 years, she knew how to prepare a dish, not that she needed it anyway.

"So why did you freeze up when you landed in the water?" She stiffened and averted her eyes. She knew they all wanted to know the answer to Kai's sudden question.

Calli sighed and dropped what she was doing. "The first memory I have is from 4 years ago. It had been storming that night. Loud bangs and bright flashes. The waves were high and as wild as you could imagine. The ship I'd been on was sinking, people were screaming, trying their best to stay afloat.

The water was just stronger, pushing me down, the burnin' feelin' as my lungs were fillin' with water, after that it becomes black and the first thin' I remember after that, is being fished out if the harbour form Stiix."

Calli didn't dare to look at any of the others.

"Geez no wonder." All eyes went from her to Jay as he opened his mouth. "Next time just tell us beforehand."

"Yeah, we won't think any less of you." Cole said as he stole a piece of potato before she could slap him on the fingers. Kai and Jay face-palmed at his love for food, but it brought a small smile to Calli's face. The Blue Ninja tossed his arm around her shoulders.

"Hey! there's that smile." Calli just rolled her eyes. "Oi! hands to yourself, buddy." She told the Blue Ninja with a smirk and managed to punch him in the arm. He only hugged her tighter.

The rest of the night went on with a little celebration. Jay and Kai were dancing, Cole had managed to find a pair of bongos and was happily providing the dancers with a beat. Calli though he had a pretty good sense of rhythm. Zane and she were both at the side-lines. Calli seated next to the Black Ninja humming along with the bongos and Zane was standing next to her.

"C'mon Sensei! Join us!" Kai called out to Wu.

"There is still one weapon left! We must get our sleep!" the elderly man protested.

Jay obviously didn't agree. "Sensei! Look, you gotta admit, we're kicking their bony butts!"

"Yeah Get up here! Show us some moves!"

"I guess I could…" He stood up his face serious as ever. "Now this move is very special."

"But if done incorrectly, will it lead to disastrous consequences?" Zane asked, quoting what sensei had said over the tornado of creation. The others burst into laughter.

"Zane! Was that a Joke?" Kai laughed. "A sense of humor! You found it!"

Sensei started to dance, singing some ridiculous lyrics. "Shake what your momma gave you. Yeah, look at this one now. Oh yeah. Spin around. Oh yeah. I put my feet-" Jay and Kai only laughed harder and Calli covered her eyes and with the sounds of the bongos and the others having fun. She quickly fell asleep.

When Cole woke up, the first thing he was saw was one of the Skulkin soldiers standing over him with a grin. He jumped up, looking for his trusted Scythe, only to discover it was gone. One of the generals was holding it in his hands. His jaws set like he was grinning.

The black ninja's eyes shot to the side. The others had been tied up, Kai and Sensei where missing and another Samukai was holding the golden weapons.

"These belong to Lord Garmadon now!" This wasn't good.

Calli groaned as someone's feet pushed her in the back painfully due to all the boys wiggling.

They were currently hanging from a tree, She and Jay where back to back right side up and Cole and Zane were back to back upside down.

"To the Fire Temple!" Samukai yelled. Only for a dark shadow to pop up behind him. Only his presence made her uncomfortable.

The shadow started to Tell Samukai to return to the underworld, changing the Skulkin's plans. As they left, one of the other two generals noticed his partners weapon wasn't a weapon anymore and pulled it out of Its hands.

Calli could guess where it was.

"Great, now what?" Cole asked once the Skulkin were gone. His face slowly turning red from hanging upside down.

"I suggest Jay cuts us loose with the sword that's being pressed against my back." Calli groaned as the iron blade touched the bare back of her neck. That would leave a mark.

"Eh, Jay before you do that, You might wanna." Cole's words fell to deaf ears as Jay cut the rope, plummeting them all to the ground. "Warn… us." The Black Ninja groaned as he landed on his stomach.

"Let's go!" Zane was the first to get up. Looking around the open space, Calli found the boys' weapons. She whistled as she tossed Cole's Scythe, it being a weapon with wood she was able to handle it.

The Skulkin's vehicles were slow, slow enough for them to catch up via treetop.

Cole had managed to grab a hold of a lose chain on the same "Monster truck" that held the golden weapons and used all his strength to slow it down, Not without success. It went on the right speed for rest to jump onto the vehicle.

Zane distracted two of the Skulkin soldiers so they didn't notice a couple of branches. Zane ducked, the soldiers were thrown off. Jay took care of the Soldiers on the lower front of the vehicle, kicking them off with little effort while Calli simply pushed off two who had been guarding the golden weapons.

"Get them! She heard Samukai yell as jay started his Spinjitsu to reach the girl. Hanging from the back, he punched the heavy iron lock. Of course, without much success.

"Okay, that's why they make keys" The blue ninja climbed up to Cole to ask for help but he was busy dealing with the two other generals. Hitting them and swung his scythe at their heads. However, he swung too far, Hitting jay in the throat with the blunt end of the weapon. Once Cole had kicked the Skulkin's off, he went to his friend.

"Jay! Sorry, didn't see you there."

Samukai had enough off it and kicked his driver out, taking the wheel himself and sped up the car.

Calli was very close to losing her grip as they reached breakneck speeds. Cole had been holding on to the cage, jay clinging to his leg and Zane was holding onto the drivers' cabin.

Now there was no other choice then to let go. In fact, the boys had lost their grip. Calli kicked the skeleton next to her to gain some space and jumped off landing next to the road.

Jay brushed himself off as thunder flashed above their heads. "We didn't stop them." He tried to say but only shrill, unrecognizable words came out.

"You don't need to say it." Cole said staring at the wall the gate was just a second ago. "I know, we've lost."

Sooo... Jay lost his Voice, Calli has a fear revealed and the world is basically doomed.. Well all seems to be going well for out favourite Ninja.

Anyhow I decided to reply to your reviews here instead of filling your inbox with reply-spam:

It'sYourGirl: I really like that you appreciate her personality. I worked on it for a year! Calli is my pride and Joy when it comes to my OC's

SweetHeart114: (i should have replied to you earlier sorry) She has powers but she is not an elemental master, mostly because I find it an easy and overdone trope. All will be explained in due time.

Also i finished her sketch! It isn't colored in or anything but this shows my interpretation of how she looks:
