Thank you guys!

XxXxXxXx

The Ninja stood around, after pausing to take a break. Jeanette pulls out her picture and looks at it. Faith walks over to her and looks at the picture.

"Who are they?" She asks, and Jenaette jumps and looks at her.

"My family."

Faith smiles. "Very charming. You have a pretty little girl." She admired, looking at the picture, she looked up at Jeanette. "You must miss them alot."

"I really do miss them." Jeanette nodded.

Faith looked around at the Ninja who were at the moment doing their own thing, she then turned back to Jeanette. "I'm sorry for pointing my harpoon at you."

Jeanette looked up from her picture and looked at her. "It's ok."

"I'm parched." Kai said, before yanking his canteen away from Jay. "And you drank my water!"

"Your water?" Jay asked, as he and Kai started to fight over the canteen. "That's my bag!"

"You have interesting friends." Faith said, looking back at Jeanette, who was smiling as she watched the red and blue Ninja fight over the canteen.

"Thanks." She turned to look at Faith.

"Hey!" Kai yelled, and the two turned back around to watch the fight continue. "You said we were sharing it! It's already half gone!"

"After my brother died, and even though my brother was a monster and an enemy, the Ninja still accepted me as one of their own." Jenaette told Faith with a smile. "I don't know where I would be right now if Master Wu hadn't had Lloyd come find me, wanting me to join them."

Faith looked at her. "Is he your mat?"

The pink Ninja smiled. "He is." She turned to look at her. "He's back home, so is Kai's sister."

"I'm the only one?" Jay's voice had the girls turn around to see Kai and Jay still arguing over the canteen. "Zane has a little!" He pointed towards Zane.

"Zane doesn't need to drink!" Kai said, putting his hands on his hips. "Admit it! You're a water hog!" He grabbed the canteen, and the two started to play Tug Of War with the canteen again.

"Where's Nya when."- Jay trailed off when Faith walked over to them, pulling out her Dragonbone Blade. "Whoa! Whoa! Hey! Hey!"

"Careful! Careful!" Kai cried.

Faith raises her blade, and cut a cactus in two. "Now we all have water." She turns to walk off.

"Thanks!" Kai smiles, going for the top of the cactus, and starts drinking it very thirsty.

"Thanks Faith!" Jay calls to her, his eyes on Kai. "We're sharing that you know!" He ran up to Kai.

"Hey guys, let me have some!" Jenaette yells running over to the two. Kai avoids Jay, and hands the top of the cactus to her, so she could start to drink the water. The three then started to argue over the water.

Faith walks over to Zane's side. "How you have survived this long is beyond me." She tells him.

Suddenly they hear engines.

"Baron's Hunters!" Faith exclaimed. "We need to go!"

Kai, Jay, and Jeanette look towards the in coming Hunters and ran, dropping the canteen and cactus top.

The Ninja jump onto their vessels, and take off. The Hunters right behind them, the Hunters soon come close to the Ninja.

"Always knew you were a defector!" Jet Jack tells Faith, who's now back looking like Heavy Metal.

Arkade's slot machine lands on three chain guns. "We won!" Jay cries, he and Jeanette high five. Arkade uses the gun on Jay, Jeanette and Zane's jet. "Um, maybe we lost." Another Hunter uses a chain gun on them. "Definitely lost!"

"This isn't good!" Jeanette cries.

Zane grunts. "I can't break free! Prepare to reverse!"

Jeanette, and Jay look at each other with wide eyes, then look back at Zane. "What? If we reverse at this speed."- Jay started before he and Jenaette cry out when Zane made the two Hunters crash. "We did that! Haha! Let's see what you've got!" Jay cheers.

"We gotta do something else!" Jeanette cried, then pauses. "Zane, is that what I think it is?"

"An Ice Dragon." He confirmed with a nod as they drive past it, and it roars before giving chase. Cole's jet moves faster, and starts driving along side the others.

"Uhh guys?" He looks around.

They make their way towards the canyons. Soon they start to avoid all the collums, and Faith shoots her chain gun at the Ice Dragon.

"Cole! Are you guys ok!?" Jeanette calls over to them, after Jet Jack attacked them.

"We're all good Jen!" He smiles brightly.

"Where to, son of Spinjitzu Master?" Faith aks Wu.

"An easier path." Wu points straight ahead of them. "This way!"

"We'll follow you!" Faith told him.

XxXxXxXxXxXx

At nightfall, they reach Oni territory. "Are you sure this is the way?" Faith asks Wu.

"Well, we're not going back, cause then it'll be our skulls on pikes!" Jay cried.

"Think before you answer, Master Wu." Cole told Wu. "You have a responsibility to at least do that."

Wu walked a little ways ahead. "Yes." He turned around to face them. "The Dragon Armor is this way."

"I was afraid you would say that." Faith said.

"Afraid?" Kai asked. "Heh. You don't look like the type of person who'd be afraid."

Faith turned around to face the Ninja. "This is Oni land. As long as we stay on our side, they will stay on theirs. But we need the Dragon Armor."

"Need? Pfft. Need is such a strong word." Cole said. "There could be other ways of getting home."

"Yeah!" Jeanette agreed with a nod. "Like our own Elemental Dragons."

"Gaining the Firstbourne's trust so that her Dragons, can ferry us home is the only way back to Ninjago." Zane reminded his friends.

Wu turned to look at Faith. "How dangerous are these ... Oni?" He asks.

"Dangerous enough that when Iron Baron and his bravors crossed this line to get the Dragon Blade, he was the only one to come back. Oni have a dark magic about them, a destructive magic. They are like nightfall, consuming darkness. After the stories Baron told us, we know better than to search these lands. Are you sure the Dragon Armor is this way?"

Wu blinked. "I think so?"

Kai, and Jeanette looked at each other.

"Do not let fear guide you!" Faith jumps back onto one of the jets. "Your first instinct is usually correct. We must go before it gets dark."

XxXxXxXxXx

Ninjago.

Nya stood in the shadows of the nightfall, her back leaning against the building behind her. "Kai." She whimpered, looking up at the night sky. "Cole." She wiped twin tears off her cheeks. "Where are you guys?"

XxXxXxXxXx

The Ninja make through Oni land. They all jump out of their vessels, and pulling out their weapons as they look around.

"So these Oni. If they're shapeshifters, how do we know when we see one?" Jay asks Kai. "I mean, how do we even know one isn't already pretending to be one of us?" He get close to Kai.

"Oh, zip it Jay." Kai said, pushing him back.

The team continue to look around. Jeanette turns to see a big dark shadow and screams.

"Oni!" Cole cries, as Jeanette falls backwards and quickly backs away.

Kai throws fire at the figure, only for his fire to show them it was just a statue. "It's ... a statue!"

"A gate." Zane points at it as he, and Jay are knelt down on either side of a freaked out Jeanette.

"To an Oni stronghold. But it's open." Faith said.

They start to walk towards it. "Um, should we be walking towards it?" Jay asked nervously. "I really thought we'd be walking the other way." Faith turned to look at him. "Zip it. Duly noted."

They walk inside with their weapons at the ready. Both Cole and Jay lit up two torches.

"Guys? Remember when we saw the movie Shadows In The Night last month?" Jeanette asked, she was standing near Zane. "I'm getting that creepy feeling again!"

Jay gulped. "I remember that movie! You were so scared that you threw your popcorn on all of us when Nya sneezed."

"One thing you forgot to tell us about Oni: they're slobs too." Kai told Faith.

"Where is everyone?" Cole asked.

"Wherever they are, they haven't lived here for centuries." Zane commented.

"That liar!" Faith yelled suddenly, and Jeanette jumped and she and Jay hit each others backs. "All this time, he lied to us. It was just a story, made up."

The Ninja look at Faith. "Uh, what are you talking about?" Kai asked her.

"Iron Baron. He made us believe this was Oni land. No one has ever seen one because look around! They're all gone!" Faith said with anger.

"But where did they all go?" Jay asked, and Faith yelled in anger as she walked away.

"He used fear to control you." Kai said, watching Faith.

"He wasn't enslaving Dragons. He was enslaving us! How could I have been so stupid?" Faith turns to walk over to Wu and Cole. "Is any of it true? Is there even the Dragon Armor?"

"I ... I don't know." Wu admitted.

"Don't know?" Faith repeated. "Don't know?" She stared poking Wu's chest, making him back up. "Do you know how much I sacrificed to help you? If we can't get out of here and Iron Baron finds me, he-he'll." She trailed off, and threw her helmet, where it cracked against the wall. She turned back to Wu. "Argh! Why did you tell me you knew where it was?"

"Wow. She's scarier then you Jen!" Jay said with a smile. "Ow!" He cried when Jeanette slapped him upside the head.

"My father told me in a dream I must have faith. Then we found you. I still believe we will find it, even if you don't." Wu told Faith.

Faith yells out, and is ready to punch him, Wu braces himself for it, but Faith turns and takes her anger out on the gate.

"That's it!" Jeanette puts her sword away. "We're never getting back home!" She turns on Kai. "You promised!" She yelled at him as she pushes his chest, then storms off.

Rounding a corner to find a flight of stairs, she walks up them and sits down, and hugs her legs as her tears start to fall. "Lloyd." She whispers brokenly as she rests the side of her head on her knees.

Suddenly Kai is pushed towards her by Zane. Sighing, the red Ninja walks over to her, he sits down next to her.

"I, I'm sorry for promising you that we'll find a way home." He starts. "I wanted to see your smile, even in this cruel world."

"I just want to go home." Jeanette whimpered. "I don't even care right now, what our city looks like at the moment."

"Jen." Kai started. "We all have families too." He sighed leaning back on his hands. "Like me. Nya and I just found our missing parents last year, now this year? I left them, and my sister behind."

"So I'm selfish?" Jenaette shrugged. "Look to who my brother is." She didn't look at him.

"What Kai is trying to say, is that he shouldn't have made an empty promise like that." Jay's voice had both Jeanette and Kai look at to see Jay, Cole, and Zane.

"You're not selfish Jen." Cole said as he, Jay and Zane walk up to her. "You just have more to lose, then we do." He said gently.

Zane nodded. "You have a young one at home."

Suddenly, Wu ran around the corner. "Guys!" He turned and ran back.

The Ninja look at each other, before quickly following Wu. They gasped when they saw the closed gate.

"The Dragon Armor." Kai breathed.

"It's in the nest of the Firstborne." Cole added.

"It's ... real." Faith breathed.

Wu turned around to stand in front of the gate. "We have faith. Now we have a map. I told you."
