No P.O.V.
The ninja were trying to restore the city, since the Great Devourer had done its share of damage to the city; extensive damage.
Jay, Cole, and Zane were attempting to straighten a bent light post when Emera sighed. "Move over." She quickly molded the metal, and the light post realigned itself.
Kai grumbled. "How come you guys still have your powers?"
Annabella shrugged. "Maybe the facility turned them on. And they're pretty weak anyway; we really relied on the silver weapons to channel them."
"At least you have them. We've got Spinjitzu, and that's it." Cole pointed out.
"More on the subject, we should be focusing on the fact we've got no place to live." Nya told them.
"Excuse me?" The mailman walked over. "I've got a letter for you." He handed it to Annabella, who frowned.
"From who?" She asked.
"I have no idea." The mailman walked away, and Annabella opened the envelope.
"Keys. And two addresses." Annabella looked at the others. "Worth checking out?"
Doodeedoodeedoo... I am a nerd...
The addresses ended up being two apartments downtown. Annabella opened one of the two doors, and after a moment of shock Jay whooped. "Sweet!"
The apartment in question consisted of two bedrooms, a kitchen, and a small den. The other apartment was similar.
While the others were still looking at the first one, Annabella went into the other. There was a second envelope waiting on the table, labeled 'Bella'.
"Annabella?" Kai poked his head in to find Annabella's shoulders shaking. "What's wrong?"
She turned, revealing tears. "They can't... They can't just stay away..." She sobbed. Kai held her close, murmuring to her as she cried. He gently picked the letter out of her hand, and scanned it quickly before crushing it in his hand. "Why did they do this?"
"I don't know." Kai kissed her forehead. "But they're trying to help."
"Nothing can solve the facility." Annabella insisted, wiping her eyes.
And now a slight detour...
A cloaked woman watched her pawn revived himself, finding the four golden weapons in his grasp. "Very good, my slave." She whispered. Casting her arm forward, her pawn walked and walked until he found who would become his new minions. "Kare no dorei ni narou!"
The Serpentine bowed before her pawn, and the woman cackled. "My pawn, spread dismay, and show those ninja they aren't as powerful as they appear! Junsuina doku!"
Back to the ninja and my OC's...
The ninja relaxed in their new apartment. The boys were in an all-out war of video games, while the girls were doing their own activities in the apartment they had claimed. Annabella wasn't crying any longer, just trying to forget.
"Guys!" Lloyd ran into the boys' apartment, panting. "Turn on the TV!"
Quickly Zane changed the channel, showing the news. "As you can see, there are several demons attacking Ninjago City! Nothing seems to affect them!"
"Let's get moving!" Cole yelled. "Ninja-go!"
Lloyd ran into the other apartment, and was surprised to find the girls ready. "We heard." Emera told him, rushing past him. Amelia just shrugged at Lloyd.
"Guess we're on our own again."
Outside...
The ninja met the demons who hissed. "Are you the protectors of this place?" One asked.
"That would be correct." Zane answered.
"Then you will die!" The demons chanted. The ninja attacked, but their weapons proved useless within seconds, as the demons merely phased around them.
"Any bright ideas?" Annabella called.
Diane looked at the demons carefully, and twitched her fingers. Small vines grew from the earth, ensnaring one of them. "Use your elements!" She replied.
Taking a cue, the male ninja yelled, "NINJA-GO!" Their spinjitzu worked, while the girls were able to use their powers in small amounts, trapping the demons for the boys to defeat.
Eventually, the demons got the general idea, and separated the ninja by gender. However, as one demon loomed over Diane, it seemed to stop. "Not you. You will be useful." The demon hissed.
"Diane!" Zane sprinted towards her. "Ninja-go!" The demon evaporated into essence as Zane's spinjitzu collided with it. "Are you alright?"
"I... I am fine..." Diane murmured. She rubbed her head, wondering.
The demons began to retreat into dark portals, and soon the ninja were alone. "What was that?" Jay asked.
"Whatever it was, it's not good." Kai told him.
"Kai is correct. We were unable to diminish their numbers, yet they retreated? This is troubling, no doubt." Zane added.
"Uh, guys?" Nya asked. "We've got other problems. Look!"
Destiny's Bounty came in view, but Lord Garmadon was on deck, laughing evilly. "I have your precious ship now! Serpentine, attack!"
Hissing, the Serpentine viciously stuck, and by the time it was over, the ninja returned to their apartments, they were battered and heavily bruised. Amelia was kind enough to the girls to have dinner ready in their apartment. "Are you sure you guys didn't need help?"
"I'm starting to question that decision." Emera grunted. "Where'd the boys go?"
"Something about finding a place to train Lloyd." Nya replied.
"Well, I've had enough for one day. 'Night." Annabella told them, followed by the other girls.
Really, really, really sorry for no updates. Horrible writers block, and I'm in the middle of Then There Were None, which is becoming a personal favorite of mine! I promise to TRY and make these chapters longer, and update more frequently. Then There Were None will be getting priority, but this comes before When Nightmares Meet Darkness' Daughter. So, updates will hopefully come every week, maybe once a month if I get backed up.
