So I guess we'll start with the next chapter... Hopefully you enjoy because it took me two weeks to come up with it.
Alex put her hand on Nya's shoulder. "Hey, we'll get him back," she said.
"Oh yeah? What's your scroll say about it?" Nya asked, and Alex could hear the harshness in her voice.
Alex looked down at the scroll for a moment. "It doesn't," she said. "So that means there's still a chance that we will get him back. A higher one at that."
"Then what do we do?" Cole asked. "What happens next?"
Alex looked over the scroll again. "'The rest of the group continued on ahead. No one had noticed that their friend turned back.'"
"Well that part was wrong," Nya mumbled.
"At first we didn't notice," Zane pointed out. "Alex continue."
"'The two youngest ninja slipped away from the others. They wanted to try and prank them, but as they were finding their way through the ruins they realized they were lost. They turned and stopped at the dead end. "No problem, let's just backtrack," the one said. They turned around and the ground opened up beneath them, trapping them.'" Alex stopped and looked up. "Right, I forgot I wrote that..."
"So I'm the youngest, but who's the second youngest?" Lloyd asked.
"Actually, Zoey would be considered the youngest," Dr. Julien said.
Zoey blushed a little. "Technically, yes," she said. "But not if you base it off appearance or mental comp–"
"Zoey, how old are you?" Kai asked.
"I was build fourteen years ago," Zoey confessed. "But nindroids technically don't have an age."
"Fourteen," Lucas mumbled, his face growing a very bright and deep shade of red. He started pacing a little so no one could guess what he was thinking. She always seemed a little older than me...
"So we need to keep an eye on Zoey and Lloyd," Wu said. "Perhaps we can catch whoever's doing this in the act."
"So you're using us as live bait?" Lloyd questioned.
"Don't look at it as bait, it's more like... Using the situation to our favor," Misako told her son.
"Either way it's better than being dead bait," Tove said. Everyone looked to her. "What? The jokester is gone and I'm just trying to lighten the mood."
"It's been a long day," Garmadon said. "We should get some rest."
Jay struggled against the short chains that kept him pinned to the wall. He looked around the small cell again. It wasn't much, but he saw the other cells with the same chains on the walls. He wasn't sure how he got here, but he knew he had to get out.
"Someone seems restless."
Jay's blue eyes franticly looked around to find the source of the voice. There was a black mist in front of his cell and then suddenly a boy, no older than Lloyd, appeared.
"I don't blame you," he sighed. "I never wanted to bring any of the ninja into it, but I'll do anything to get my revenge."
"Hu ah ooh," Jay said, realizing there was a gag over his mouth.
"You shouldn't talk with your mouth full," the boy said. He snapped his fingers and Jay felt the gag vanish. "Try again."
"Who are you?" Jay demanded.
"My name is unimportant," the boy said. "It's not one you would know anyhow. Now the scroll said nothing more than you disappearing, so I guess the rest of that is up to me now isn't it."
"You won't get away with this," Jay growled, tugging on the chains again. "The other ninja will find me, free me, and then we'll kick your butt."
"Maybe if I was normal, but as you can see I'm not," he said. He snapped his fingers and the gag reappeared in Jay's mouth. "Besides, I'm not the only one behind this. I'd give you our tragic back stories, but I can't be too careful. Until the next phase goes, I'm not taking any chances." In a shimmer of black light, he vanished.
Zoey sat down on her bed and stared at the floor.
"Don't nindroids need sleep?" Tove asked.
Zoey nodded but didn't move otherwise.
"Zoey, everything's gonna be fine," Alex said.
Zoey's eyes turned pale white and she sat bolt up.
A man approached a young boy with blonde hair. "I see you've got powers," the man said.
The boy jumped and turned to him. "Uh, yeah," he said nervously. "But..."
"But you barely know how to use them?" the man guessed. "You're actually eleven? I understand, but I can't take your powers for myself since it's more magic than anything else. It's a good thing you're very useful even without knowing much."
"Look, I don't know how you know..."
The man pulled out a vase and handed it to the boy. "I want you to restore the content inside. Most of it is there and I'm sure once that part is comeplete than it'll be easy to find out the rest."
The boy peeked inside the vase. "Ash?"
"That ash is older than you, boy."
"Right... So what's in it for me?"
"Revenge," the man hissed. "Revenge on the girl who saved you and then comepletely ditched you. The one you've held a grudge against for some time now."
The boy scowled. "Oh I remember her. An excellent fighter, but a sorry excuse for a hero."
"So are you in?"
The boy smirked. "Nothing will keep me out."
Zoey gasped for air as the vision faded. She turned to Alex. "It's all for revenge," she said. "They don't care about us. They're after you."
Alex: Why is it always me?
Zane: It is called The Pink Ninja...
Lucas: Plus you were Morgan's first OC.
Alexis: No she wasn't! I was!
You're not in this story or category!
Alexis: *poof*
Lloyd: Alex was Morgan's first Ninjago OC. I hope that clears things up.
Jay: Heh hoo!
Nya: What?
Zoey: I believe he said Review.
