"Lloyd stood up and came over to Lauren and I, with the others soon following him. 'We have our winners, Lauren and Paris!' Cheers surrounded us, as we looked at each other with a look of worry.
Will we ever have to fight?"
Lauren's POV:
After the little celebration ended about the tournament, I looked up at the sky to see the sun slowly setting. Turning to Paris, I nod before we sprint towards the edge of the Bounty. "Wait!"
Halting at the rim, I turned to see Cole and the others running towards us. "Where are you guys going?" Kai asks, standing in front of everyone. "We are going to grab a few things from our old place," Paris replied, "Don't worry, we should be back in a few hours!" She turned around, before jumping off the edge of the Bounty, as I did the same.
As we emergered closer to the ground second by second, a purple wisp surrounded me, creating my elemental dragon. The main color of the dragon is black, with the trim being a dark shade of violet. Paris transforming after me, had her's the main color of yellow, with a touch of green at the wings.
Paris and I began to fly towards our old base, where we lived before the ninja came along. As we slowly flew away from the Bounty, Paris sighed in relief. I flew down next to her, and asked about the problem.
"Nothing is wrong.." She replied, as she looked down at the forest we hovered above. "Are you sure? Are you thinking about that greenie?" I smirked, with her face blushing a mad red.
"Ha! Says the one who stares at Cole, I know the way you look at him!" Paris mentions, as the same effect happens to my own face. She laughs at my state, before looking down at the ground once more. I look up at the sky, staring at the cloud formations and the colors of the sky as they are slowly wiped away by the darkness of the night.
I look over to see Paris, staring concerningly at the trees ahead of us. "What's wron-" I was cut off by her sushing, and her finger up, standing for one moment. Instantly, a instensive roar was heard beneath us. "DUCK TO THE TREES NOW!" Paris yelled, as she dove to the trees, with her dragon dissapearing.
Taking a moment to process the situation, I also nose-dive afterwards with my dragon evaporating behind me. Grabbing onto one of the branches of the trees, I find Paris with her yellow mask on and investigating the noise. I grab my mask that hung on my suit and pulled it over my head, as I jumped from branch to branch towards her. "What was that?" I asked her, unaware of the type of beast it came from.
"I haven't heard that noise in a long time.." She mentioned, trying to be as quiet as possible. Suddenly, she began to head in a direction quickly and swiftly. "Wait! What's going on? What is it?" I yelled, as I jumped after her. She kept getting farther and farther away, then stopped suddenly. Slowly catching up with her, I was about to jump onto the branch that she had stopped on, until a tail-like thing hit Paris off the branch. My eyes widening in surprisement, I grabbed onto a stubby branch to keep me from falling to the ground. The beast that had attacked Paris came into view.
A Dragon.
It had resembled the elemental dragon that she rides, such as the colors and textures, but this one was at least three times the size of the elemental one, and wore scars from its wings to its toes. I looked around for Paris, and found her laying against a tree, and rushed over to her. Her face was covered in blood that gushed out from the open cut at the top of her forehead, and a large bruise was placed at the middle of her right cheek. Her arm also appeared to be broken, or sprained, and she was unconcious to top it off.
Anger filling inside of me, I spun around to face the dragon that stood before me. A cloud of purple and black dust formed around both of my hands, as my eyes turned the mixture of red and black. The yellow dragon growled, and let out an ear-breaking roar. Once the noise stopped, large thumping came from an unknown area, and grew louder by each thump. Turning around, my body was met with another large tail whip. Throwing my harshly against a tree stump, I grabbed my hip in pain. Slowly looking up, two blurred images of dragons appeared in my vision, before blackness corrupted me.

Cole's POV:
The blinding sun began to set on the horizon, as the stars and the night sky filled its place. Many hours have passed, and the two best friends haven't been seen since they left to retrieve their stuff from their old place. Growing worry for Lauren and Paris, I stand on the doc of the Bounty, pacing around the platform waiting for their safe return.
"Ugh, they should've been back by now! Where are they?" I say in frustration, while circling around with Lloyd and Jay looking at me strangely. "I'm sure they are okay..?" Lloyd replies to my state, trying to make it seem better than it really is.
"They said they would be back in a few hours, its been quite a few hours and they aren't back." I turn to Lloyd, then continued to pace the floor once again. "Why are you so worried? It's not like you like one of them or anything..." Jay comes to the left of me, leaving a smirk plastered on his face.
Giving him a glare, I walked over to the railing at the edge of the Bounty, leaning over the edge to see the land of Ninjago. I let out a small sigh. "If you guys aren't going to go and investigate with me, then I will go alone." I stand up on the railing and let myself fall. After I let myself fall a few yards, I summon my elemental dragon and begin to go in the direction they were leaving. After a few minutes, I hear a small dragon roar. Turning around I see the others chasing after me on their own elemental dragons.
"You were really thinking that we would let you go alone, now weren't you?" Kai rushed over to my side, smiling. I smiled back, as he desended into the night.
