:Chapter 1:
Cole's Pov
The harsh sunlight peeked through the window of The Bounty, and a black haired, fair skinned, and muscular male, turned to the side to retreat from the annoying rays that woke him up in the first place. The Flying ship he was on seemed to be moving, and he strangely wondered why.
Ever since the defeat of the Overlord, Cole and his "Brothers", Kai, Jay, Zane, had been seeing less and less of a Real threat in the large city of Ninjago. They had taken down the worst evils possible, and a robbery or house fire was not enough to spike true worry into the Ninja's minds.
Personally, Cole was an early waker, but sometimes it felt good to sleep in. He slowly lifted himself up, and scanned around the room. After he noticed that all his Brothers were not there, he said to himself.
"That's strange. Usually Kai sleeps in the latest. Oh well."
He went through his normal routine of Showering, putting on his normal clothes, not the black Ninja suit he usually wore, and swiftly checking his Black hair. He smiled proudly, and walked over to the door that lead to the kitchen.
Before he could reach the outside of the doorway, the Bounty shook violently, causing the Black ninja only to stumble. He was always steady, like the element he represented, Earth. But the crashes in the kitchen, followed by multiple "Oh Crap!".
"Sorry!" The unmistakable female voice of Nya called through the intercom. She continued "It's very windy at this Elevation!" Cole just laughed a bit and entered the Kitchen. What he saw made him want to laugh his heart out.
Kai was lying amongst some pots in the corner, a pissed look on his face. Luckily…the pots were ok. Jay's face was covered in his breakfast. Cole could only assume that the turbulence caused him to stumble foreword. He looked Ridiculous! Zane was gripping the counter, but he wore a pink apron. Cole still found that funny sometimes.
"Looks like I missed all the fun!" The Earth Ninja leader laughed quite loudly, causing Kai and Jay to glare at him.
"Ha ha! Laugh all you want!" Kai, the Ninja of Fire, with spiky and unkempt brown hair and Hazel eyes, replied sarcastically. His notched eyebrow was narrowed along with his other.
Jay, the Ninja of lightning, with light brown and short hair, with blue eyes added "You slept in late. We tried to wake you up, but you slept like a rock! Ironic, huh?" Nobody laughed at his joke, so he sheepishly laughed to himself and began to wipe the eggs off of his face.
Cole turned his attention to Zane, who was beginning to cook again. "There is still Eggs left, Cole. Do you wish for any?" His robotic voice sounded, reminding Cole once again, that Light blonde, Silver eyed, Ice Ninja, was in fact a robot, or "Nindroid" as Jay called it.
But to Cole, Kai and Jay, Zane was their Brother, robot or not. He still had a mind of his own.
"Sure Zane. Just don't get Jay's face all over it!" He smirked, earning a snap from Jay "Hey! That was Turbulence!...Speaking of Turbulence, I wonder how Nya is today?.." Jay sighed dreamingly. The whole ship knew that Jay was madly in love with Nya, but the two were so shy, they would not admit their love to each other. Zane and Cole rolled their eyes with a smile, but Kai just grumbled
"I'm sure she's fine!" He was partially against his Sister falling in love with the Lightning Ninja, but never truly stood in the way. He would though, tell Jay over and over not to break his sister's heart. Jay never would.
After eating Breakfast, Cole put his plate away and asked out loud "So, what are we doing today?"
"We've almost reached The Ninjago Canyon. Sensei said we could have a free day, so I was thinking we could explore the Canyons." Nya had just entered the room. She was wearing her usual attire. A Red dress, with gold patterns on it. Jay was staring at her with a love struck look.
"So that's why we were flying! I love Ninjago Canyon. I went there all the time when I was younger! I've been out of it lately. Anyone know what day it is?" Cole asked seriously.
Nya and the other looked at him with surprise for a second, before turning their faces back to normal. Was it something he said?
"You don't know what day it is? Are you sure?" Nya asked him with surprise. Cole just shook his head. "Why? What's going on?"
"Nothing, nothing at all." Kai suddenly said calmly, kicking his feet up on the table. Cole just frowned, but straightened up as Sensei entered the room. The old man with the white beard and the straw hat, smacked Kai's feet with his staff.
"Feet off the table, Kai, this is where you eat, not where you put your feet!" Sensei scolded, earning a laugh from the Ninja behind him. Lloyd, the Green ninja, who was the one who defeated the Overlord, childishly spoke "Nice Rhyming, Uncle."
"Hey Lloyd! Cole doesn't know what today is!" Jay said, with a hint of Surprise. Lloyd widened his eyes, but acted normal as he got a look from Cole. "That's strange." The Green ninja covered up terribly.
Cole was beginning to get annoyed. "Can someone please tell me what's so important about today?" He looked around for an answer, and finally Zane replied "Every day is important….you'll see soon." He went back to cleaning the dishes. Cole just huffed, and the rest of the ninja laughed a bit.
He decided to ignore the date, as they were going to land in Ninjago valley soon. Cole loved the high ledges and caves, which was natural for an Earth Ninja. But he came here all the time with his father, who seemed to dislike the place. He never understood why his father hated it, but it was probably because of his father's love for calm and non-dangerous activities. Many wondered how it was possible or such a wild child to be the son of such a calm and indoors man.
Cole shook his head, and held on to the wall as the ship landed safely on the Stone ground. He was itching to get off the flying ship. He was more of a ground person.
Jay quickly stood next to Nya, and sheepishly asked her "W-we should look around…ya know…together..W-we could find some…artifacts or..Stuff." He stumbled shyly. Nya just blushed and giggled "Sure, Jay. Sounds like fun."
Cole smirked and slapped Jay on the back, quietly enough not for Nya to hear. Kai looked slightly pissed, but stayed where he was.
As the large ship landed, Cole, as a leader should, was the first one out. He looked around with a smile.
"Just how I remember it!" He then looked back, and ran to help grab some chairs and water. He noticed Zane's uncomftorableness in the open sun, and laughed as the Ice ninja retreated to a shadier area of the valley. Jay and Nya wandered around, Jay looking at her every time she looked away, and Nya looking at him every time he looked away. Cole shook his head sadly.
"Hey Rock head, where's the closest cliff. I'll race you to the top." Kai smirked from behind. Cole laughed. "You? Win against me? In a cliff climbing race?! That's funny. But…I'll take you up, just for some fun. Follow me, Hothead!" He retorted, after Kai had punched his arm, not so lightly.
Cole instinctively found his way to the highest cliff he had climbed in his past. He was slightly surprised he remembered where it was. Kai shoved him and smirked "You ready to lose?"
"Other way around, Kai!" Cole replied, approaching the cliff.
"Ready GO!" Kai shouted, swiftly climbing the cliff. Cole widened his eyes, and began to scramble up the cliff. He huffed halfway up, as Kai reached the top. He had a Head start!
The two were now next to each other. Cole was an extremely fast climber, but thanks to the sudden start, Kai reached the top first. Cole was right behind him. As he clambered up to the top, he gasped "Kai, you Cheating Asshole! You got a Head…" He shut his mouth as he saw nothing on the top of the cliff.
He narrowed his eyes and called "Kai, you had your fun! Where are you?" He walked around, but all he saw were large Boulders. He began to frown deeply. Perhaps Kai had fallen off. He peeped his head down….no body anywhere.
Cole sighed and walked closer to the boulders.
"This isn't funny Kai!"
Suddenly, as he approached one of the Boulders, two shapes shot out and tackled him.
"Surprise, Cole!" The voices of Kai and Jay sounded from above him. He lay there in complete shock, eyes wide. They scared the Crap out of him!
"W-what the hell! Jay? Kai? WHAT THE HELL!" Cole shouted, getting up and dusting himself off. Nya stood with her hands behind her back, and Zane smiled broadly. Lloyd suddenly ran out.
"Aw man! I missed the cue! Erm….SURPRISE COLE!" Lloyd was stopped with Cole growling "What's going on? You guys better explain." He was blushing for being startled by his idiotic teammates.
Nya giggled "You wondered why this day was special. It's your birthday Cole! I can't believe you forgot! We wanted to surprise you, so we took you to your favorite place."
Cole widened his eyes in surprise. His birthday? That meant….
"Today's August 7th?" Cole murmured, still recovering from the near Heart attack he had. Nya nodded happily, showing what was in her hands. A Chocolate Cake!
Cole smiled sheepishly "I'm so stupid. How could I forget my birthday?" Jay nodded and smirked "Especially your 16th birthday! That's an important one!" Kai added in "We know how much you love cake. And I needed to get the head start to hide up here with everyone."
Cole crossed his arms and said to Kai "Next time, I'll win. Thanks you guys. I feel really stupid for this…"
"Don't bully yourself, Cole. You have a lot on your mind since you're leader." Nya comforted him, as she stood next to Jay. "Now, Sensei should be here soon with the Forks. Then we can eat the cake."
"That sounds great. I love cake!" Cole smiled.
Lloyd tapped his foot. "I'm gonna go help him. He's old, ya know." The Green ninja dashed off to find Sensei Wu, leaving the four Ninja and Nya alone on the cliff.
Suddenly, the wind picked up drastically. Cole felt a foreboding in his stomach, as did everyone else. Jay stood close to Nya, and Kai and Zane looked around, their eyes narrowed. Suddenly, there was a Large Flash behind Kai, and a Amber, glowing circle of some sort of energy appeared, sucking rocks and shrubs in at a Terrifying pace. Kai yelped as he began to slide towards the portal.
Zane shouted "Kai!" He grabbed the Fire Ninjas arm, but the portal still dragged them closer. Now, Jay and Nya Both held on to Zane. "Zane, Hold on!" Jay screeched. It was still too strong for even the two of them to pull them back. Cole came in last, Holding on to Jay and Nya and using all his strength to pull back.
"Oh Ninjago this hurts!" Cole Yelled over the loud sounds of the Amber portal. For a few seconds, the powerful Black ninja held them in place. But, even the strong Earth Ninja could not pull them back forever. He was dragged in, along with his friends. He called out in Panic, and the last thing Cole saw, was the Green ninja and his sensei, who got smaller and smaller at the portal closed.
…
For what seemed like hours, Cole traveled through, Flashing Amber light everywhere. He covered his eyes, and yelped as he was suddenly falling, Gravity taking Effect. He fell hard on what seemed like short grass. He slowly opened his eyes, relieved to see his friends had fallen too.
Nya and Jay held on to Each other, and Zane slowly hoisted himself up.
"W-Where are we?" Cole wondered out loud. He snapped his head back as he heard a reply.
"You are in the Terra Kingdom." A voice sounded. Cole stiffened with shock as a group of Dragon like animals slid out of the bushes around the group. Cole backed up towards his friends, who also were frozen in shock.
The Dragon creature at the head of the group, a Black, silver and Brown spotted one with an Amber gem and a female voice repeated, looking at Cole.
"You are in the Terra Kingdom." She paused, her Emerald eyes glowing.
"And you have returned!"
Wow! Cliffieee! This story will go by fast in the Beginning, but it will slow down soon. I had a lot of fun writing this! Virtual Pringles for who can guess who the Dragon Creature isss! Thanks, Read and Review! ~Moon.
