Welcome back to my story. I'm sure you're anxious to see what's going to happen now. I also know you want to know what's going to happen as soon as possible. THAT'S TO BAD. I'm not going to go to Kailee and Silver until the end of this chapter! HAHAHAHA

Wu started walking back to the beach with Zane laying in his arms.

" Sensei, i'm back." Zane said. Wu gasped.

" Really? I thought you were long gone now…" Wu said.

" Ace put me back in control. I think it's safe to release me now." Zane said. He tried to move his wings around under the rope.

" I'm sorry, but I can't trust you quite yet. Your instincts might take over again." Wu said.

" I'm sure Ace won't cause any more problems, but I understand why you wouldn't trust him." Zane said.

" Ace?" Wu asked.

" Oh, you don't quite know how the whole instincts thing works yet." Zane said.

" Please explain, it might help us find the other ninja." Wu said.

" I'm not sure if everyone's is the same. Actually, no one is the same. My instincts are Ace. He's my falcon. Somehow, he took control of my brain and started controlling me. He just wanted to protect me from the Crystal Dragon. After I begged him to let me go, he decided that I wasn't going to keep me from going. I doubt the other ninja's instincts are the same, so I probably won't be much help." Zane said.

" Well, that's interesting…" Wu said. He reached the beach where Nya was already, sitting by Jay and gently stroking his fur. Jay was deep in slumber still, but his mind was very active.

Soooo, how long are you going to be here exactly? Jay asked.

As long as I want. Oliver said.

But, how long is " As long as you want"? Jay asked again. Oliver let out a deep growl.

Please shut up! Oliver yelled.

You can't stop me from talking. Jay said.

I'll find a way to shut you up, permanently. Seriously, if we don't find your other friends, you'll turn back to normal, and i'll be in control forever. Oliver stated. Jay thought for a second.

Well, i'm going to talk for as long as possible then, and if you know anything about me, I NEVER SHUT UP! Jay yelled. Oliver sighed.

Can I just enjoy being alive again, without you ruining it? Oliver asked.

NOPE.

This is going to be a long, how ever long it takes to get rid of you. Oliver said.

YES IT WILL BE. Jay yelled.

Do you have to yell?! Oliver asked.

ANYTHING TO MAKE YOU SUFFER MORE. Jay said.

Well, it's working… Will you stop screaming if I let you be in control for a few minutes? Oliver asked.

YES. Jay yelled. He suddenly regained feeling of his body.

" Hi Nya." Jay said. Nya gasped and looked down at him.

" Jay? Are you back?" Nya asked.

" Well, for a little bit… Oliver's a big jerk." Jay said.

" Oliver?" Nya asked.

" You guys don't know about the instincts stuff yet. I bet Zane does though." Jay said.

" Yeah, but Ace is leaving me in control." Zane said.

" Lucky…" Jay whined.

" Anyway, can you explain the instincts thing to me?" Nya asked.

" Oh yeah. Mine's Oliver, he's a dead cat or something. Long story… While I was sleeping, he took control of me, and he walked over to where you found me. I can talk to him mentally, and he can talk back. He controls everything, until now. He's letting me be in control for a little bit because I was SUPER ANNOYING." Jay said.

Shut it or i'll be back in control. Oliver said.

Ok, ok. Jay said.

" We should probably go out and look for the other ninja. Every second now is precious. I also believe we can trust Ace to not control Zane again. He could be very useful in the search." Wu said. He untied Zane and he stretched his out his wings.

" I'm guessing you want me to go find Lloyd?" Zane asked.

" Yes, that would be great." Wu said. Zane looked around for a second.

" I don't see any clues to where he could've gone, but i'm guessing he flew to ninjago." Zane said. He shot into the air and flew towards Ninjago.

" Now, we just need to find Cole and Kai on the island." Wu said. Him and Nya walked back into the dense forest to find the missing ninja.

With Nya. (I bet everyone's mad with me about how long this chapter is, so I can just have you wait longer to see what happened to Silver and Kailee.)

I pushed my way through the trees. If I were a Bear or a Porcupine, where would I be? Nya asked herself. She looked around the area, and saw a cave.

" Aha! That's where Cole might be!" Nya said. She started running towards the cave, but stopped a second later. " How am I even going to get him out? I'll have to make him snap out of his instincts and follow me back." Nya said. She reached into her pockets and pulled out a small taser. Being a Samurai might help this go smoother. If I can't make him snap out of it, i'll use this as a last resort. Nya thought. She continued to the cave, and looked around inside.

It was pitch black near the end. She slowly walked in, and felt around. She was near the end when she felt some thick fur. She froze and looked down, and saw a black bear sleeping. She carefully removed her hand, but the dozing bear had already felt her touch.

Nya started backing away slowly while the bear rose from it's slumber. It stood up and looked down at Nya.

" Cole. Is this you?" Nya asked. The bear fell back down onto it's paws and shook it's head a little.

" Yes, but you need to leave." Cole said.

" Cole! Just snap out of it! We need you to come back with us, Cole!" Nya yelled. The bear shook it's head again.

" I'll try to follow you out, but you go first. I don't want to hurt you." Cole said. Nya started running out of the cave, and Cole slowly followed. Noukaup started to take over again, but Cole tried his best to keep himself under control, but Noukaup took over.

He started running towards Nya, teeth bared.

" COLE!" Nya yelled. He stopped and looked over at Nya.

" I can't keep this up much longer. If I try and attack you again, you should just run." Cole said.

" No Cole. You're the strong one. You can do this, Cole!" Nya said. Cole had a new look of determination on his face.

" You're right!" Cole said. Nya and Cole continued towards the beach, Noukaup tried to take over multiple times, but Cole overpowered him.

With Lloyd.

" Come on Lloyd! Cheer up! We're almost there!" Ebony said.

No. My friends are probably looking for me right now, and i'm out in the middle of the ocean…" Lloyd said.

Ugh, you're such a downer! Ebony said. You know what? I'll go rest on that island down there. Ebony said. She flew down to a small barren island and laid down.

A second after she did that, a blur of purple sped across sky.

" What was that?!" Ebony yelled. She quickly stood up and flew back into the sky. The blur flew back across the sky again, but closer to Lloyd. Ebony roared loudly and swirled around trying to locate the blur.

It crossed again, this time right in front of Lloyd.

" Cut it out whatever you are!" Ebony yelled. The thing crashed right into Lloyd's side, and he started falling back to the island. He landed with a crash and passed out.

With Ares ( IS THIS WORTH THE WAIT?)

Ares was still walking towards the big city, when he saw two figures lying in the grass.

" Hmm." Ares said. He ran over to them, and saw a young girl and a silver cat. He looked at them for a moment when he heard the girl mumbling something.

" Madison… Snakes…" The rest of the mumbled words were not understandable.

" Is Madison the girl in the city?" Ares asked himself. Probably because she mumbled something else about snakes… Maybe she knows something about the girl. Ares mentally answered himself. He looked over to the cat. What's that? He asked himself.

Ares picked up the robot cat and looked at it. Is this a-a robot cat? I should definitely bring these two to Garmadon. He picked up the girl and put her on his shoulders, and carried the cat in his arms. He started walking back to base.

I'm sorry the Ares part was so short, but this chapter was long! I promise I will start off next chapter with them, and Ebony Umbreon. Congratulations on guessing what was going to happen! I'm sure a lot of others figured it out, but Ebony was the only one that said anything. I guess if i'm going to give a shout out to Ebony might as well give one to ML-AWESOMENESS for reviewing last chapter too. So thanks you two! Next chapter is the 20th chapter, so be prepared for a celebration! I never expected this story to be so popular! I'm going to shoutout every person who has, followed, reviewed, or favorited this story thus far! So if you havn't done one of those things yet, and you want a shoutout, now's the time to do so! Madison out!
