JAY'S POV
As I run through the forest building up speed I hear the cries of people once again. I've been doing this for 3 years now. Running through the forest helping the people here. As I run through the trees I find the one I always climb to see whats going on. Once I make it to the top I sit on one of the stumps and see the next victim. I see a woman about in he mid 30's being dragged out by a guard. Another man holding back her child. I slow my breathing so I can hear the conversation,
"This is what happens when you disrespect me!" The head guard said. He is always saying that the people disrespect him. I take a closer look and see that he takes her necklace. It has a gold chain with a silver heart in the middle. I knew it had to be from her mother or something.
"Heh heh nice necklace, I think I'll keep a hold of this for a while" He says after he kicks her in the side. She falls to the ground and her child escapes the fat guy's grasp and runs to his mother.
"Mama!" He screams while he runs to her, he then kneels down and hugs her. The guards gather inside their dinky cart and drive off to their base. I jump down from the tree im resting on and follow the trail. I find a tree that's going to easily block their path. I take out my elemental blade and chop down the tree. I wait on the other side for the cart. Its been about 5 minuets and the dinky cart has finally pulled up.
"What are you waiting for move the dree!"I hear the head guard yell.
I unwrap a small chain from around by chest and wait for the guard to get closer. Once I here the foot steps stop and I hear the guard grunting to push over the tree. I quickly jump up throw the chain on the other side of the tree hook the guard and pull him to the other side of the tree. Once we are face to face I pull out my blade and hit him on the top of the head with the hilt of the blade a knock him out. I use my true potential on teleport into one of the huge trees and wait for the other guards. Another one comes out of the cart I wrap the small chain around me again and take out the big chain in the tree. I wait till the guard is almost right underneath me, I drop the chain down and just before it hits the ground I swing it to where it wraps around the guards leg and pull the chain up with him shooting his gun on his way up. Once he is in the tree with me I round house kick him in the face and knock him out and he falls out of the tree.'ooh that's gotta hurt' I thought to myself. Then another guard comes out, but this one is skinny and he was holding a map, he just had to be the navigator. He shakes as he exits the cart and says
"I'm sorry boss but im getting out of here. It's the jungles ghost its mad with us!" He screams and runs off in the opposite direction of the base. Alright 3 down 1 to go. The head guard gets out of the cart and yells at the chicken
"GET BACK HERE YOU COWERD!"He turns back to the fallen tree and tried pushing it him self but fails miserably. I teleport back down to the ground and hide in some bushes to where he can only see me eyes. He turns around and does not notice me yet. He starts to get angry and is about to go back to the cart when he sees my eyes in the bushes. Then he whispered to him self
"The jungle's ghost"He said slowly backing away, he gets to close yo a mud slide and ends up sliding down a semi cliff. Once he is out of sight I teleport down to where he is about to land still hiding in the trees. He finally makes it to the bottom, his machete lands in front of him. He lifts his head and notices were it is, he crawls to it, gets up and yells
"WERE ARE YOU, IM NOT SCARED OF NO LEGEND!"I drop down from the trees we are a few feet apart, he sees my ninja gi and asks
"What are you?" He says in a wondered tone and then I replied with
"I'm you worst nightmare." He charges at me I pull out my elemental blade and charge at him. I scream of pain is heard throughout the forest and it's not mine. I take the necklace that he took from the mother. I use my new ability that allows me to control electric objects and drive the cart back to the village were the mother wat attacked with her necklace in the front seat. The cart pulls into the village and everyone gasps when the come to find that nobody is driving and all the stuff that was destroyed or stolen from the guards was fixed and returned after I took a look at the damage. The mother picks up her necklace and whispers
"Thank you mysteries ghost of the jungle" and walks into her home. I come to notice tha the kid is staring right in the tree that im hiding in, he smiles and walks into his home.
"Well that's another job well done" I say as i jump down from the tree and run through the jungle searching for my shelter. I then find what im looking for, I giant hole in the ground disguised with vines and bushes. I jump down the hole and start making a fire. Its been a long day I think I should probably take a short nap. As I lay down I take out a picture of my family from the pocket of my ninja gi. I first look at a picture with me, my mom, and dad in it. I smile as I remember the day I had the picture taken whan I was 13. I look at the next picture, Its me, Kai,Cole,Zane,Nya,sensei,and Lloyd I remember the day we took this picture. Be for I took it Lloyd came into the game room while I was playing Miaro and by accident I called him Yoshi.
"Heh heh good times"I said to my self and look at the last picture. It's a picture of me and Nya on our second date. Just before the picture we took the picture she pretended she needed to tell me something and the kissed me. I wa shocked that day, I never thought Nya would kiss me. As I lay on my make shift bed I start remembering memories of us all together and I drift off to sleep.
NYA'S POV
I have been flying for about 13 hours now I will not stop untill I make it to the dark island. I need to know If Jay is ok. I don't even need to talk to him I just need to know if he is still alive. I was knocked out of my thought when my samurai suit started beeping. That means im there. I look down from my suit and I see a small village in the middle of the island surrounded by jungle. I should probably land by the shore and hide my exso suit there. After I land on the shore I jump out of my samurai X suit and take off my samurai armor and I put it inside my suit I then send the suit to hide in one of the trees. After my samurai suit is out of sight I start walking towards the village I see kids playing, parents talking, but I see one kid talking to his mother as I walk by and I aver here the conversation.
"Mama I told you he was in that tree wearing the color of the sky."Wearing the color of the sky, does the kid mean he was wearing blue.
"Tito you know I love your imagination but mama needs to talk with some people now go and play."She tells the kid and he walks away from his mother. I had to ask him if he was talking about Jay.
"Umm excuse me little boy!"The kid turns around and smiles at me
"Hello"He says
"Hi I couldn't help but over hear that you saw a person in a tree wearing blue."I asked kneeling down so I was the same level of hight that he was.
"Yes he helped us from at attack yesterday he is the ghost of the jungle."He told me. I giggled a little I have always liked a kids imagination that's one of the reasons I love Jay, he pretty much has the mind of a child.
"Do you think you can show me were you saw him?"I asked the kid
"Yes follow me."He said walking towards the trees. He then points yo one big one almost big enough for someone to sleep in.
"Right there that's where I saw him. Do you know the ghost?"He asked me and I simply replied with
"He wasnt always a ghost."I said walking into the jungle. I push away some branches from low hanging trees. Some of the branches and leaves are hard to push away so I pull out my katana and start swiping and the plants in my way. As I'm pushing my way through the jungle I feel a quick breeze go past me.
"Jay?"I whisper, I start walking a little bit faster. I feel the same breeze go past me again. Maybe it's not him, maybe it's just the wind I start to think. NO! I'm not giving up yet I have to find him.
"Jay!"I call out. Maybe If I call his name he might know it's me.
"JAY! WHERE ARE YOU! IT'S ME NYA!" I start looking up at the trees while walking. Bad idea, I start falling through a hole that's easily 30 feet deep. I start trying to grab onto anything I can, but it's no use im going to fast I close my eyes and prepare for the worst. Just when I thought I was going to experience extreme pain I feel strong arms catch me bridal style.
"That's some entrance you made there."I open my eyes and I gaze upon the person that I'm looking for.
"Jay."I say smiling, he smiles back at me and sets my carefully on the ground. He walks over to the middle of this underground gave and shoots a lighting bolt and a bunch of sticks. I fire begins to start and he sits down on one of the rocks the I guess he uses as chairs. I walk over to him and sit down next to him.
"What are you doing here, Nya?"He askes me. I didn't really want to answer the question like I was desperate to see him so I said
"I'm just joy riding, I saw the dark island and thought I would stop bye."I lied but I didn't want him to think I'm weak without him around.
"Tell me the truth"He says unexpectedly.
"I did"I tell him, oh man does he know
"Nya, me being here has sharpened my ninja skills. I can spot the littlest of white lies, you don't need to lie to me."He stated. Now I feel bad thinking I can slip past him. So I decide to tell him the truth.
"Ok ,ok you got me. I came here because I wanted to see if you were ok. You stopped writing to us, and you were gone for 3 years , when you should have come home 2 years ago. We miss you Jay"I tell him trying to hold back tears. I look in his eyes so that way he knows I'm telling the truth this time.
"Look Nya I'm glad you care about me but, sensei sent me here to become a better leader and I can't go back to him a falure."He says slamming his fist into the dirt."And besides the people here need me, every week the guards come by and hurt these people taking their stuff. Yesterday I just took out 4 heavily trained guards and returned the stuff the stole and fixed the stuff they broke. I'm sure this place needs me more that Ninjago does."He says looking down in front of him. I can tell he wants to come home, but he is right, the people here to get attacked a lot. I closed my eyes and tell him
"Jay everyone at the Bounty is miserable with out you, we need you. I need you." I open my eyes and I take notice that Jay is gone.
"Jay! JAY!" I call out, but no reply. I sigh and I start grabbing onto the vines and pull myself up to the surface. Once I make it to the top I start walking back to the shore were I parked my samurai suit. I power it up and get inside. But not before I shed a few tears. One of happiness that Jay is alive. One in sadness that he is not coming home and then I fly back to the Bounty. Jay its been so long just come hom please. I say to myself and I set the course for home.
JAY'S POV
Should I come home,I ask my self as I jump down from the tree I'm watching Nya leave in. I mean I took care of all the guards here so they wont attack here again. Maybe I'll tart my journey for home tomorrow after I get a good night sleep.I jump down into my make shift home and rest on a few blankets and pillows and I look at the picture of me and Nya again. I'm going home. I smile and start to drift off to sleep.
Kai's pov
They guys told me that the reason Nya was not home when I woke up was because she went shopping. But since when do stores stay open this late. It's 10:47Pm Nya has not returned yet. I'm starting to worry a little. I start pacing around my room untill I hear the soft murmurs of my brothers. But something catches my attention. They are talking about Nya.
"Zane when do you think we should tell him?"I hear Cole ask
"I do not know, but I do know that if we tell him Nya went to find Jay, Kai will defiantly be vary displeased."Zane says
"WHAT!" Nya left the Bounty with out my permission. Who does she think she is!
I stomp put of my bed room and run towards the deck and jump onto the railing. I hear my brother's footsteps approach me and the yell
"KAI what are you doing!?"Cole screams
"Nya left with out my permission I'm going to bring her back-"I was cut off when I hear a familiar sound. Her samurai suit. Oh she is going to get it.
