(A/N: While I wait for some name suggestions for Rise of the Ninjago Force, I'll work on my other projects, maybe even finish some)
Upon learning his biological father has passed on, Jay discovers several things about him.
In Ninjago City, Jay shows up near a post office on his motorbike before he stops it, kicks the stand down and got off before they head over to the post office. He takes his helmet off while heading over to the P.O. Boxes, unlocks one of them and gets the mail out of it before locking it up and discovers that the envelope on the front had a seal on the side. "'Ninjago's Business & Defence'?" He asked himself as he came over to his bike, puts the other envelopes in his satchel and opened the envelope in his hand. It showed a letter. "'Dear, Mr. Jay Walker, I, Patrick Rice, as your family lawyer, am sorry to inform you, but your father has just passed on." Jay soon gasped before continuing. "For information about his will, please contact my office in the card provided. Again, I apologise for your loss.'" Jay immediately dropped the letter, gets on his bike and starts it. "It can't be!" He immediately sped off, moving between some cars that honk their horns for his actions.
At his parents' scrapyard, Jay immediately got off the bike without turning it off as it fell to the side, passing by Edmark, who got up and barked for being ignored.
He immediately entered the trailer while taking his helmet off. "Mom!"
Edna soon came out. "Wow, you're out of breath." She said. "What is wrong?"
"Where's dad?"
"I'm sorry, he's no longer here."
Jay was soon saddened by the news. "No."
"Yep, I'm back." Ed was heard as he came in, carrying a rucksack, causing Jay to turn to him. "Jay, my boy. What brought you here in a hurry?"
Jay then immediately hugged him. "Oh, thank goodness, you're okay."
"Of course, why would you ask?"
"I got this letter saying that my dad had passed away."
"Well, son, as you can see, I'm alive and well." He soon frowned. "But... it must've been your biological father."
"My real father?"
"Remember how Edwin found you by our doorstep when you were just a baby?" Edna asked as she came up to him with a letter and key. "These were left alongside you as well."
Jay soon took them and looked at them. "'In the likely event of my passing, I want my son, Jay, to come to this address. 7253 Thyweal Drive. The code is in some of the letters in this sentence, upside down. 'Fear isn't a word where I come from'.' Hmm, my dad must be a fan of Fritz Donnegan too."
"Jay, I really do hope this doesn't change anything at all."
"Don't worry, it doesn't." He soon walked out of the trailer.
"Oh, I worry about him."
"I'm sure he'll be fine, sugarplum." Ed said. "He had already gotten use to the fact that he was adopted."
"And now, we bring you live to Ninjago City Beach Park, where the unveiling of the statue of AniStone, the antagonist of late actor Cliff Gordon's debut movie." Gayle said on the TV as Ed and Edna turn to it.
At the beach park, a crowd was gathering as an elderly woman was by a statue that was covered by a big tarp. Skylor and Seliel were among the crowd as Chad, Tani and Mini were joining in it. "The actress who played AniStone, Kira Regina, has been given the honour of unveiling it." A reporter said as he turns to the crowd and the cameraman aims at it.
The elderly woman, with blonde hair with greying at the scalp, wearing a purple dress, faces the crowd, some of which were taking photos. "As you all know, Cliff has been a great friend to not just me, or any other actors in his debut, he is a great friend to all of us." Kira said. "Which gives me great pleasure to unveil, not just AniStone, but an addition to the statue." She soon grabbed hold of the tarp and pulled it back, revealing the statue, which shows a teenaged boy with a sword, fighting a monster-like being.
The crowd start taking photos of the unveiled statue, Stone Warriors soon appear and surround the crowd, causing them to scream and run away. "Monster!" Skylor yelled as she ran.
"It appears that we have Stone Warriors on the scene!" The reporter said to the camera. "Power Rangers, if you're watching, HELP US!" Chad, Tani and Mini soon bump into them, falling on top of them just as Kozu comes up to the statue.
"You could prove useful." He said before getting out a vial of Dark Matter and throws it at the statue, mainly at the AniStone figure.
At Thyweal Drive, Jay walks along the path as he saw that most of the buildings were mansions before coming across the number '7253'. Jay saw that it was the biggest mansion on the block and had a large gate preventing him from coming in. "Was this where my biological father lived?" He asked himself as as came up to the keypad and looks at the note before turning it upside down and to try and find the code in the upside down sentence before typing in the code. The keypad soon beeped and the gate started moving forward. Rather than wait for it to fully open, Jay soon moved through between the gap and moved along the path until he came across the front doors, looked at the key, inserts it into the lock, turns it, and opened the doors.
The interior at the front entrance astonished Jay the moment he stepped in. There was blue walls, a staircase and some rugs. He then turned to the left to see a doorless doorway before heading there.
The living room itself had beige coloured walls, a big TV mounted on one of them by some very long couches in the middle of the room and a giant window at Jay's left. "Fear isn't a word where I come from!" Someone called out, causing Jay to turn and poise, only to find it is a statue.
The statue was of a young man, in space gear, holding what appeared to be a snake and aiming some sort of blaster. "Wow. He even got himself a life sized statue of Fritz Donnegan." He then looked beside the statue to see many trophies and went over to them. There were 50 trophies, sorted by year and event. Jay went over to the very first one that looked like it was made of brass, slightly becoming rusty. He picks it up and looks at it. "'Best Debuting Teen Actor of the Year. 2007. Stone Animals. Cliff Gordon.' Cliff Gordon... where have I heard that name before?" He soon gasped when he somehow remembered something.
Less than 8 Years Earlier
10 year old Jay, wearing a grey t-shirt, blue oil covered overalls and blue sneakers, Ed and Edna were among a crowd, cheering a group of people at what appeared to be a movie premiere as they walk along a red carpet, some signing autographs. A man in his late 40s with black hair that was slightly greying at the sides, wearing a black suit, white shirt, blue tie and black dress shoes, sees Jay before kneeling down to him and pats his head while Edna got out her phone and hands it to him for Cliff and Jay to have a selfie.
Present
Jay soon gasped while dropping the trophy. "It was him." He said to himself. "My father was Fritz Donnegan. Does that mean... I'm the son of the actor? I'm Jay Gordon?"
"Jay?" Nya's voice was heard, causing him to turn to see her at the doorway.
"Nya."
"When you didn't show up at the academy for class, your parents told me where you would be. And it seemed like you needed some comfort."
"Fear isn't a word where I come from!" The statue called out, causing Nya to look at it.
"Fritz Donnegan?" Nya comes over to the him before kneeling down to pick up the trophy and looked at it. "'Cliff Gordon'? Wait, the actor? This is his house?" She puts the trophy back on the display before the wall next to them opened up, showing a secret doorway. "I wonder what's in there." They both head over to it.
The room was shown to actually be the dressing room where a mirror, some makeup and costumes were as they look around. "This is... his dressing room." He said, astounded.
"That's not all. Look." She points to the wall opposite the mirror and he turns to it.
Jay turns to the wall and sees that it is a display of the original Blue Ranger, involving many articles throughout the Serpentine War, the original Thunder Flail, helmet and bravery trophies. "He was also a Power Ranger?"
Nya sees something before heading over to pick it up, showing to be a portrait, partly covered in dust, and blows on it, clearing the dust away to see it clearly. "Jay, I don't think he was a Power Ranger."
"What do you mean?" Jay comes over to her and took the portrait. It was a photo of the original Spinjitzu Power Ranger team, showing Wu, Lloyd, Ray, Abigail, Zane and a woman with dyed blonde hair and brown eyebrows among them. "Who is this woman?"
Nya looks at a nearby article and takes it off to read it. "'Ignacia Village Saved By Brave Team of Heroes." Nya started to read the article. "Without warning, Ignacia Village was under siege by the Venomari Warriors from the Serpentine race, attacking the villagers and leaving them hallucinating. Until 6 brave people, in strange suits, jumped in and drove the Venomari away. The group, calling themselves 'Power Rangers', then assisted the villagers in recovering from the attack and gave exclusive interviews to our newsreaders, among others. From left to right, the brave team of Power Rangers: Gold Ranger: Wu Garmadon, Emerald Ranger: Lloyd Garmadon: Twin brother of Gold Ranger, Red Ranger: Ray Smith, Black Ranger: Abigail Hence: Wife of singer Louis Hence, White Ranger: a young man only going by the name of 'Zane', and Blue Ranger: Libby Gordon: Wife of actor Cliff Gordon.'"
"'Libby Gordon'." Jay soon gasped. "My real mother was the original Blue Ranger? And I thought my mother- I mean, Edna- was."
Beeping was soon heard before Jay raised his left arm to answer his Spinjitzu Watch. "Jay, Nya, situation down at the beach park." Kai said through the Spinjitzu Watch.
"We're on it."
"Let's go." Nya said before Jay nods while putting the photo down and they take off.
At the beach park, the crowd was still running as Kai, Zane, Cole, LJ and Wu, all in Ranger form, fighting the Stone Warriors and AniStone, who was now green with red eyes. "Wu!" LJ yelled as he and Wu came side to side before they held each end of Wu's cane, kneel down, and push it into some Stone Warriors' legs to trip them, knocking them down.
Cole moves downward to the right, avoiding a Stone Warrior's punch before placing his hands on the ground and stands on them, using his left leg to kick the warrior before moving back to straighten up as the warrior went down. Kai falls back to avoid a Stone Warrior's punch before rolling back to avoid it stomping him while getting back up, moved to the side and raised his right leg, kicking it down. AniStone comes at Zane, who aims his bow at her and fired at her, but she spins around, making the arrows miss before soon striking him, causing him to spin and crashes into Cole and Wu, knocking them all down. "Time for some new statues for my collection." She said before her eyes glow and a beam hits all three of them, creating an explosion.
When the smoke from the explosion fades, there was now a statue of a black gorilla, statue of a white wolf and a statue of a golden dragon in their places. "No!" LJ yelled.
"Where are Jay and Nya when you need them?" Kai asked before hearing revving and turn to see Jay and Nya on Jay's bike before stopping between Kai and LJ.
"Sorry we're late." Jay said. "Had to run some red lights to get here." They both soon turn to see their opponent. "AniStone?"
"Who?"
"From 'Stone Animals'. She can turn her victims into animal statue, literally."
"Well, that's what she did to Cole, Zane and Master Wu." LJ said, pointing to the statues.
"Then we have to be careful of her eye-rays."
"Right. Morph and get into the action."
"Ready?" Jay raises his left arm.
"Ready." Nya said, raising his left arm.
"Spinjitzu!" They both said, moving their right thumbs to their Spinjitzu Watches.
Jay and Nya move their left hands by their right shoulders as they move their right elbows back. "Ninjago!" They start spinning as their assigned coloured tornadoes soon appear and engulf them. They soon disperse revealing them both, in their Ranger suits. They were on their right knees with their right arms spread out and their left arms in front of their right knees before they look up as their assigned coloured winds soon engulf each of their heads, turning into their assigned coloured helmets.
Jay and Nya swing their weapons as they charge at AniStone before Jay tries to strike her with his flail, but she moves aside, grabs hold of the chain and throws Jay by the railing while Nya thrusts her spear, hitting her shoulder, but AniStone grabs hold of the spear and raises it high, sending Nya in the air and making her let go of her spear, landing by a tree. "Ignition Swords!" Kai yelled, getting out his swords.
"Energy Sword!" LJ said, getting out his sword.
They immediately charge at Ani Stone while spinning their swords while she swung Nya's spear before preparing to strike them, only for Kai to block it with his swords while LJ used the distraction to try and strike her, but she loosens her grip of her left hand to hold it out and grab the blade. She then forced the spear up, forcing Kai back before using it to strike LJ, knocking him down, and throws the spear aside. "Red and green ones would look great." She said before her eyes glow and a beam hits them both, creating an explosion.
When the smoke from the explosion fades, there was now a statue of a red lion and a statue of a green dragon as Jay and Nya stood up and look on, in shock. "Kai!" Nya said.
"LJ!" Jay said.
AniStone soon turned to them. "And two more for good measure!" She said, turning around to them as her eyes glow.
"Nya, watch out!" Jay runs over to Nya, grabs hold of her and they fall back just as AniStone fired a beam, but it misses, hitting a tree, which turns into a brown tree statue. They soon got up as AniStone's eyes glow again. They soon ran for the railing before they hit it, vault over it, and fall into the ocean just as the beam nearly hits them.
AniStone comes up to the railing to look down, only to find some waves, caused by Jay and Nya's splash landing. "That takes care of them. Lord Kozu will be pleased."
AniStone soon walked away just as two pairs of wet hands grab hold of the railing bars and move up, revealing to be Jay and Nya, immediately lifting themselves up the railing until it got underneath their armpits, completely wet, and coughing a little. "It's a lucky thing the tide was pretty high today." Nya said and Jay nods at her, agreeing to the statement before they get back onto the deck and look at the statued Rangers. "Kai." Nya comes up to Kai while still dripping as Jay looked at the others.
"We need to get them back to the Bounty." He said before raising his Spinjitzu Watch, and pressed it. "Misako, Lloyd, we got a problem."
In Lloyd's camp on the Dark Island, Kozu, Sipal, AniStone and some of the Stone Warriors were dancing the conga, celebrating the supposed demise of the Rangers. "#No more Power Rangers#" They sang. "#No more Power Rangers, No more Power Rangers, No more Power Rangers, No more Power Rangers, No more Power Rangers.#"
Pretty soon, the Overlord appears. "What are you fools doing?" He asked.
"We're celebrating the demise of the Power Rangers." Sipal replied as they all stop dancing to face him as he hovered around them.
"Too bad this animal maker missed two of them."
"What?" Kozu asked.
"The Blue and Maroon Rangers managed to survive the attack, and are probably awaiting for her return."
Kozu then turned to AniStone. "You have your orders. Find them! Draw them out if necessary!"
"Yes, my lord." She said, lowering her head before a portal appears beside her and she heads in.
In the bridge aboard the Destiny's Bounty, Jay, Nya, Misako and Lloyd look at the statued Rangers with amazement. Jay was now wearing a blue and white unbuttoned flannel shirt, blue tank top, brown jeans and grey sneakers, while Nya had a maroon sweatshirt, grey track pants and brown boots on. "So AniStone literally turns anyone into animal statues?" Misako asked as she looked at the animal statue of his son while Lloyd looked at his brother.
"Yep, just like in the movie." Jay replied, flicking the statued Kai's forehead.
"And is there a way to reverse it?" Lloyd asked.
"Well, apparently, in the film, Andy Whiskey, played by my real father, used a sword."
"What? A simple sword would take her down? Very interesting." He said the last sentence with sarcasm.
"If you let me finish. The sword made the beam turn back around when it was hit, so maybe reflection."
"Like a mirror?" Nya asked.
"Definitely."
At the Ninjago Beach Park, Chad, Tani and Mini were by a table. "Can you believe that AniStone actually came to life?" Chad asked.
"Yeah, and she turned 5 of the Rangers into animal statues." Mini replied.
"Hopefully, she doesn't turn us into-" Tani was cut off when a red beam hits her back, creating an explosion, making Chad and Mini back away, in shock before the smoke cleared, showing Tani, now looking like a Black Mamba statue.
Chad and Mini look to see AniStone coming as civilians around them start running away. "Run!" Chad yelled as he and Mini do so, and AniStone laughs.
In the bridge aboard the Destiny's Bounty, alarms went off as Jay, Nya, Misako and Lloyd look at the monitor to see AniStone at the beach park, where many civilians run away. "Guess who's back?" Misako asked.
"Looks like we've got work to do." Jay said before he and Nya took off.
At the beach park, AniStone turns a young man into a grey wolf statue just as Jay and Nya show up. "Hey!" Nya called out to get her attention.
"Ah, the two Rangers that made me look bad." AniStone said. "Time for you pimple faced nitwits to join your friends as statues forever."
"The only one turning to stone is you." Jay replied as he got out his Super Spinjitzu Blade. "Ready?"
"Ready." Nya replied, getting out her Super Spinjitzu Blade.
They both soon spin their Super Spinjitzu Blades. "Super Spinjitzu Blades, ignite!" They both said, raising them high.
Jay and Nya's Super Spinjitzu Blades ignite as they, helmetless, both swing them downward, letting out bursts of their powers that move into them, turning their Ranger suits into their Super Ranger form.
Jay and Nya poise before charging at AniStone. Her eyes soon glow and fires a beam at them, coming between them, but they cartwheeled to the sides before Nya charges at her while Jay jumps in the air, raising his Super Spinjitzu Blade. "Have a little shock." He said, holding it out, firing a bolt of Lightning, hitting AniStone, forcing her to move back before Nya spins around and spreads her Super Spinjitzu Blade, striking AniStone and forcing her back. AniStone stops close to a tree before her eyes immediately glow and fires a beam. Jay and Nya quickly brought their Super Spinjitzu Blades together to deflect the beam and immediately hit AniStone, causing her to explode.
In Lloyd's camp on the Dark Island, Kozu comes onto the Garmatron and turns to the piloting Stone Warrior. "Fire the Garmatron Missile!" He yelled as the Stone Warrior came over to it and moves the controls as Garmatron raises its cannon before the warrior presses a button and fires a shot, sending a missile through the clouds.
At the beach park, the missile comes at AniStone and explodes upon hitting her, making her grow and she whoops. "Now I can turn the whole city into stone from up here!" She said.
"The whole city?" Nya asked. "We're doomed." Beeping was soon heard as they raise their left arms up.
"Actually, we've been working on something that might turn the odds in our favour." Misako said through their Spinjitzu Watches. "Just need the Spinjitzu Ultrazord, but there's only two active Rangers."
"Lloyd, can the Ultrazord work with just the two of us?"
"It should." He replied through the Spinjitzu Watch.
"Then, let's get to it." Jay said.
"Combining Zords now!"
The 7 Zords move in a straight line before the Maroon Phoenix Zord and Soaring Falcon Zord move further ahead, rise up, put their wings together and turn to their respective side with their backs facing each other. The Red Lion Zord moves in front of the two before rising up and the front paws retract, revealing hands while two flying Zords immediately attach to its back and the head moves back to act as a clip. The Emerald Dragon Zord's wings and tails soon come off while the main body attaches to the Lion Zord and the wings connect to the Lion Zord's feet while the tail comes on behind the two flying Zords. The Black Bear Zord and White Tiger Zord retract their legs into and come onto the Lion Zord's hands respectively. The Blue Octopus Zord straightens its tentacles before landing on top of the Dragon Zord's head, connect its tentacles to it and the Lion Zord's arms to act like shoulder pads and opened its mouth, revealing its face before poising. "Spinjitzu Ultrazord!" They both said.
In the cockpit, Jay and Nya look on. "Let's use the Ultrazord Blade first." Nya said.
"Right!" Jay replied.
Outside, the Spinjitzu Ultrazord pulls out the Ultrazord Blade from behind its back and holds it out to AniStone. "Bring it on!" She yelled. AniStone then charged at Ultrazord, just as it turns to the side and tries to strike her, but AniStone quickly turned and held up her left arm to block it before forcing it back, raised her right leg and kicked the Spinjitzu Ultrazord, knocking it back.
In the cockpit, Jay and Nya shook about from the attack. "Try again!"
Outside, the Spinjitzu Ultrazord moves forward while raising the Ultrazord Blade to try and strike AniStone, but she raised her right arm to block it before moving behind it to kick it, knocking it down.
In the cockpit, Jay and Nya shook from the sudden collapse. "We gotta get back up!" Nya yelled.
Outside, the Ultrazord tries to get up, but AniStone places a foot on its back. "Time for you to join your fellow Rangers." But, as she was about to fire her beams, something hits her, immediately knocking her down, and the Spinjitzu Ultrazord looks up.
In the cockpit, Jay and Nya were surprised. "It's the Bounty!"
In the bridge aboard the Bounty, Lloyd was at the helm before pulling back the lever retracting the Anchor Flail. "Grab hold of the Bounty!" He said.
"Why?" Jay asked through the monitor.
In the Spinjitzu Ultrazord's cockpit, Jay and Nya look at the monitor as Misako was on it. "We have a little surprise in store." She replied. "Here's what I want you to do. Pull back the mast."
"What?" Nya asked.
"Trust me, it'll work."
"If you insist."
Outside, the Destiny's Bounty flies down just as Spinjitzu Ultrazord gets back before it grabs hold of the Bounty and grips the mast before pulling it back. The hull of the Bounty suddenly opened up, revealing a reflective surface. "The Bounty Mirror."
"That piece of accessory won't help you out of this!" AniStone yelled before her eyes glow and fires a beam.
In the cockpit, Jay and Nya hold out their right arms. "Bounty Mirror, final deflect!" They both said.
Outside, the Spinjitzu Ultrazord holds out the Bounty Mirror, which the beam hits, causing it to turn back around and hit AniStone, turning her back into a statue before it soon fell back and explodes.
In the bridge aboard the Bounty, the statues starts glowing and expanded before the glow immediately grew bright, engulfing them. Once the glow faded, Kai, Zane, Cole, LJ and Wu were back in their normal states, but still morphed. "Ah, they did it!" Cole said as Misako and Lloyd head over to LJ and Wu, and hug them.
At the beach park, the affected statued civilians glow bright, completely engulfing them before it fades, showing them back in their normal states and cheer.
Inside the cockpit, Jay and Nya high five each other. "A spinning victory." Jay said.
In Lloyd's camp on the Dark Island, the island was empty as the Overlord hovered about, looking around. "Kozu?" The Overlord asked as he hovered along. "Sipal? Where could those two be?"
In Lloyd's old hut, Kozu and Sipal were watching a movie, involving a teenaged Cliff's character, Andy Whiskey, hiding behind a statue as AniStone fires a beam at him, while eating some popcorn. "Good thing I looted a few things beforehand." Sipal said, eating a handful of popcorn.
"Well, whoever did this movie, we ought to give them some credit." Kozu replied.
"So, I was right?"
"Definitely." Kozu shoves some popcorn into his mouth. "And it's great we got to hide from the Overlord so he doesn't lose his temper in front of us."
In the living room at Cliff Gordon's mansion, Jay and Nya were watching the same movie which shows Andy running over to a nearby sword. "Can't believe the others are missing this." Nya said.
"Hey, they all have girlfriends themselves, and they're all on dates." Jay replied.
"You're right."
"Oh, here it comes."
They both watch Andy roll as he managed to grab the sword just as AniStone fires her beam at him, but Andy's sword shines her reflection, causing the beam to ricochet and turn over to AniStone, who screams before the beam hits her, causing an explosion. The moment the smoke faded, AniStone was now a statue herself as Andy got up, threw the sword aside, and smirked while looking at it. "Talk about 'stone cold'." He said to himself. The punchline got them to laugh a bit before watching the rest of the film which involves the people turned to stone animals being reverted back to their human forms, the public praising Andy, Andy receiving a medal and later meeting up with the lead teenaged female character before they walk away, into the sunset.
