Chapter 6: Big Changes

Thunder crashed loudly in the darkness with lightning flashing hot rods in the inky black clouds. Rain echoed loudly in the dark, deslocated cavern in a jungle. The wind softly blew in to shift the cold air around the cold cavern to reach a teen within the darkness. The teen with auburn hair with a vertical scar on his right eyebrow stirred and shivered to the nippy cold air on his arms and bare chest to tiredly pry his eyes open to reveal hazel orbs. Jay groaned as he tiredly glanced around to make of his surroundings to notice stalactites were next to him on the cave ceiling.

Wait, what?

His hazel eyes widen to scream a little with his voice echoing in the cave as he glanced down to the floor as he was dangling. But from what? His head snapped everywhere he could see to find the source of his hanging and saw clear-white threads around him and on his back from his wrists. Panic was the first thing to do in his head and struggled to break free from the web and fell to the floor as he snapped himself free. But then felt something released from his right wrist and swung across the cave to land roughly and roll on the floor. Pain raked through his body and pulled himself from the floor to hold his wet and dusty chest to lie against the cave wall. "Wh-where am I?" he gasped to breathe the air he had knocked out.

His ears pricked to the sound of something scratching against the rocky walls, followed by the sound of a creature screeching. He had to cover his ears to the echoing banshee cry and lift his head to find the source and stopped to what he saw. His heart was racing in his chest to quicken his breath to where he was hyperventilating to the creature in the darkness. From a flash of lightning, he saw an outline of a body, but not the entire body. Skin was black as charcoal with white menacing eyes and razor sharp teeth to form a large grin and long claws. Jay felt petrified to move as the creature positioned himself to crouch on the most rock floor, screeches to lunge itself with claws scraping on the floor toward Jay. The lightning ninja screamed to cower and saw the creature's eyes to darkness.

Eyes snapped open in a jolt in fear and slowly sat up while holding his head. Jay felt his heart racing still in his chest with his hands shaking with sweat drenching every pore in his body. He sighed in relief as it was only a dream to now control his breathing. His eyes shifted around to observe his area and notice he was on the floor with his comforter over him and saw that the sunlight stretched himself to the wall. His scarred brow was raised with curiosity. "Did I sleep until morning?" he wondered and pulled himself up to hear bones pop and grabbed his glasses.

More bones popped as he stretched his sore muscles and slipped his glasses over his eyes. He stopped to squint through the lenses as they made his vision blurry and removed them to see perfectly clear. He repeated the process over a couple of times until he looked at them oddly. Had he slept with his contact lenses on again? Wait, he lost them after his lens fell down the drain to wear glasses again. How could he have perfect vision overnight then? "This is weird." he said to himself as he set them on the nightstand of his bunk with Zane to head for the bathroom and stopped at the mirror.

His eyes traced his body as he noticed his arms and chest have developed muscle growth. He flexed his arms to watch his taut muscles enlarge to have his jaw dropped in surprise. He was known to have lean muscles, while others called them scrawny to which he ignored, but he now had more muscles close to Kai; including abs instead of a flat taut stomach. Jay had to laugh a little to this unknown miracle and could feel stronger already. But now he had to wonder where he gotten muscle growth and perfect vision overnight.

There was a small rap on the door to perk the blue ninja's ears and poked his head out from the bathroom. "Jay?" a familiar voice called. Jay gasped a little to the voice. It was his Uncle Ben's. He was on the Bounty. "Are you awake? Your friends have told us that you weren't well after you left Oscorp. We were stopping by to take you to lunch, but it's actually morning now. Ten o'clock to be precise."

The auburn teen was right. He did sleep all day yesterday to today. But still doesn't explain his...growth spurt or such overnight. He glanced at his chest and arms to chuckle a little. "Ye-Yeah. I'm up now." he replied. "Am I'm changed for the day." He stared at his body. "Big changes." he said quietly.

"Well alright then." he heard his uncle chirp. "Your aunt and I will be out on the deck."

Footsteps echoed down the hall until they became quiet and faint and Jay glanced at himself in the mirror. He couldn't stop staring at himself to marvel to his new developed body but turned away to quickly disappear in the shower to start his new day. After a quick wash and dried off, he quickly performed Spinjitzu into his blue ninja attire and excitedly ran out of the bunkroom and down the halls. And while trying to contain his excitement but couldn't as he ran on the walls that lead to the stairs to the deck, jumped onto the base of the mast and used his legs to launch himself back and performed a flip to land on his feet lightly.

"Goodness!" he heard his aunt squeak in surprise.

Jay turned himself around to see his aunt and uncle walk over to him and his uncle rested an arm on his shoulders and patted his back. "I thought you were sick?" he laughed lightly. "We and your parents were a bit worried to what we heard what happened on the way back."

Startled at first, Jay kept shifting his gaze around nervously but stopped. He hoped that they didn't tell them everything. It was still a mystery to him after the fight. Not every day you can develop sixth sense instantly. Sighing, he shrugged. "Well I got better." he finally replied. "And for yesterday, I don't know what happened and am sure it won't happen again." He flicked some of his auburn hair from his eyes to fix it over his left eye and a small lock next to it. "As for lunch though, I can't make it today. I promised Sensei Wu I'd have to double on training to make up for yesterday."

Ben chuckled and patted his nephew's back slightly rough to cause to lose his footing almost. "Don't worry, Kiddo." he chuckled. "We were given the same lecture from your teacher before you came up. But some time tomorrow or any other day, we have to catch up. Deal?" Jay had to think it over and nodded as it was a good plan. He felt his uncle's arm removed from his shoulders and watched his relatives leave the ship until he was alone on the deck.

The lightning ninja felt the radiating morning sun cascade upon him as he stood alone. He gazed around as he wondered where the rest of the team was, but he figured they were down in Dareth's dojo training to make up for yesterday's tour. Shrugging, Jay was about to head down himself, but stopped as he heard something in the ship below him and let curiosity get the best of him to follow. Floorboards creaked as he made his way to the ship's stern or the Bounty's garage for their vehicles as he knew where the noise came from to peek through the small porthole. He spotted two individuals he recognized as Nya and Lucas to enter in on their argument.

"I don't get it, Nya." Lucas confessed with a sigh of annoyance. The grey ninja was hovering over the hatch of his old Spinjitzu vehicle that he and the team constructed with the Tornado of Creation with Nya by his side. The two gazed around the dashboard that had it cover removed to be examined from its wires to its control circuit board. He sighed. "I don't know what the Rain's problem is."

The samurai ignored him and browsed through the wiring compartments carefully to the circuit boards. She stopped as she felt something sticky on of the circuit boards to give the water ninja a blank stare. "Really?" she chastised. "You and Lloyd had to spill soda on the circuits. Again." She watched his eyes widen in dumb-fold while slamming his palm to his face and she rolled his eyes at him. "I got it though." She turned to notice Jay was in the garage to greet him with a smile. "Oh Jay, I'm glad to see you're feeling better and actually here. Can you quickly help and find me a small screwdriver to fix Sponge-brain's with his vehicle?"

"Hey!" the Ninja of Water complained.

A chuckle escaped from the blue ninja's as he walked over to a tool bench to see a screwdriver for Nya, but instead turn his head and rest his hands on the table. He felt lost as he watched the girl he was in love with argue with Lucas about his carelessness. At least he was in a room with her and not with Gwen Stacy from Oscorp. He still couldn't believe himself that he was falling for two girls. That's not like him at all. At least Cole could keep his secret from that. Returning to the present, Jay turned his head back to blink in surprise as the screwdriver was missing.

It was just here! Where did it go!? he wondered as he looked for it. He was about to give up but stopped as he spotted the screwdriver head sprouting from his wrist. But he wasn't clenching to it. Curiously, he slowly turn his wrist over to see the tool glued to his wrist and slowly pushed his sleeve away to blink even more. Adorn under his skin was a blotch of white skin that almost looked similar to a blister and carefully pulled the tool away to gasp as he watched strands of web peeled from his wrist. He began to panic as it was something new to him and slowly let his fingers rest in his palm.

Thwip!

His head snapped in realization to what he heard and felt from his wrist. His hazel eyes traced the clear-white thread of web from his wrist and stick to a radio attached to the wall. His heart was racing and quickly looked over his shoulder to ensure no-one was watching and started tugging on it to free it. With a great tug, the radio was wretched free from the wall and flew toward him and quickly ducked aside to avoid it. He gasped as it was now heading toward Nya and tried to pull it back, but the thread snapped. He yelped now.

Lucas' head perked to the cry from the lightning ninja and noticed a radio was flying toward Nya. Adrenaline swam through his veins and quickly grabbed the samurai to duck her into the Rain before the launched projectile struck her. The radio crashed against the wall to shatter into pieces and both the grey ninja and samurai turned to Jay with wide eyes. Jay quickly looked at his hands to not find any traces of web on the floor to look back at the two with wide eyes and quickly rushed out.

Baffled still, the water ninja and girl heard rushed footsteps to see Cole, Kai, and Zane rush into the garage. They noticed their breathing was quick and shallow like they sprinted from the dojo. "What...happened!?" he panted to catch his breath. "We were coming up for a break and heard something going on watched Jay leave quickly."

That was the problem though. They had no idea what happened. Was that on purpose or what? "Eh...we don't know what has gotten into Jay, but he threw a radio at Nya." Lucas replied confused. That sudden news made Kai surprised to turn to the door to growl and clench his fists. He had no quarrel with the blue ninja dating his sister, but throwing a radio at her, that was different now. He cracked his knuckles before leaving the garage with the others behind.

One thing flashed in his mind. Jay was going to get it.

His breaths have quickened along with his pace through the halls of the large flying vessel. He pushed through Laurie and Lloyd as they blocked his path to the deck and gazed at his wrists as he walked. He was still puzzled and memorized to what recently happened. He could fire strands of webs from his wrists? How was that possible now? First the sixth sense, now this. What was happening to him?

Once he reached the deck of the ship, the lightning ninja's eyes were still glued to his wrists as he paced to the bow to clear his head. The wind softly blew into his face as he drew in deep breaths to help clear his head, but couldn't help but relapse to what happened. He fired strands of webs from his wrists and they attached themselves to a radio and almost hit Nya. The girl he was even in love with. They now think he's going crazy and purposely threw it at her. What were they going to think toward him? Even on Kai? He knew he was going to be in deep water for almost harming his sister.

The Ninja of Lightning continued to inhale deep breaths to help clear his head, but stopped as the back of his head buzzed in alert. In his head, he could envision the team racing toward the stairs. Below in the streets were groups of kids exiting Dareth's dojo from their class. And Kai's fist aimed on his head. Realizing the threat, he quickly ducked his head and then grabbed Kai's arm to twist it behind his back while pushing his shoulders to pin him on the dragon's head. He resisted his struggling, but slowly eased his grip to release him and stepped back slowly. Soon after, the gang emerged to the deck.

Kai slowly pulled himself up while rolling his shoulder to glare at Jay. The blue ninja gulped. "You think your something, aren't ya Jay?" he grimaced. "First you start a fight in the subway and now throw a radio at my sister."

"Kai, enough." Nya argued toward her brother. "It was an accident." She was ignored by her brother to groan in annoyance. "Kai, come on. Stop this before Sensei gets mad at you. Again."

His body raked with nervousness as Kai was ignoring his sister to not start a fight, but it felt like one was going to happen. And not even Cole, Zane, or Lucas were standing in between them. "I don't want to fight you, Kai." he begged to slowly take a sloppy defense stance.

Kai smirked and stood in a proper and stronger stance. It began. "Well looks like you do." he said and threw the first punch.

Instincts, somehow kicked in, and Jay gracefully dodge the punch. The second was thrown and the auburn stepped aside to watch the black glove graze his nose and saw the next one following. But his knees bent themselves backwards with his back straight like he was Neo from the Matrix films as the fire ninja missed. His eyes met with Nya's for a second in surprise and stood up to gasp in amazement. Nya was a bit frightened. "Help him, Zane!" she begged. Jay watched Kai's chocolate eyes blazing as he took a step back to plant his foot on the mast to launch himself higher to throw a punch waiting to happen. Adrenaline swam through him and Jay slid on his knees to avoid him and planted his gloved hands on the ledge of the bow to spring himself at Kai to land a powerful kick on him and landed on the deck.

He gulped more.

Kai's anger grew more in frustration and annoyance to growl as he jumped over the team that were in his path to stop the fighting and charged at Jay. And the lightning ninja felt the nervousness washed away and stood his guard from the fire ninja. He quickly ducked and dodge as his newly developed sixth sense allowed him to and used his forearms to block most of the kicks and other punches and caught his right fist. Pain spread through his left palm but couldn't care as he struggled with Kai's strength with his new strength to slowly twist his wrist to hear him wince and slammed the heel of his free hand against his chest. Kai felt his body was struck by lightning as he flew back and slid on the wooden floor to groan.

Jay felt pride swim in his body to the victory he performed, but now he felt hooped. He watched his brothers race to Kai as he slowly sat up dazed and frightened. In fact, they all were. It made him nervous to think he was a...wild animal now. His eyes were trained to his hands and shifted them to look at everyone scared and turned to run off the ship and head for the streets; ignoring the calls of his name as he ran and ran.

*Jay had no idea how far he was running after he left the Destiny's Bounty as he noticed he was in Downtown Ninjago City. He didn't care as he ran to rush past people, nearly getting hit with traffic to allow his sense to enable him to leap over them and still run. He glanced over his shoulder to hope that none of his friends were chasing after him and quickly ducked into an alley. Once he felt safe and far, the auburn turned the corner to be in a blank road to press his back on the brick wall to slump on the dirt ground. He tucked his knees close to his chest to hug them to ponder on what happened.

He gazed at his left wrist to pull the sleeve down to reveal his blister more and started to think it wasn't one. It fired strands of webs, almost like a spider would. He then removed his black glove as his fingertips felt weird and squinted as possible in the shade to blink. On the trenches of his fingertips he watched small, miniscule barbed hairs extend and flipped his hand to see his spider bite. He pulled himself slowly to his feet as his eyes caught sight of a spider perched on a fire escape and lifted his head to the wall he rested against. He had to believe his spider bite gave him more than what it could chew yesterday. Something unusual.

Jay slowly drew in a deep breath and slowly removed his other glove to stuff them in his pockets and slowly placed his fingers on the wall. He felt his fingers stick to the rough wall and placed his left hand above it to feel it stick. His heart kept racing as the tip of his shoes were planted underneath him as he slowly began to climb. He noticed how close he hugged the wall as his knees almost skimmed his elbow; almost like an alligator crawl. Amazed, the blue ninja glanced over his shoulders to grow a large grin to what he was doing. His spider bite gave him something more than it could chew for sure. Better than changing into a Serpentine. It gave him something amazing. "WHOA-WOO!" he shouted to quickly climb to the roof excitedly.

He drew in a deep breath and began to sprint across the rooftop to feel his speed increase and jumped. He had to scream in joy as he jumped over an alley below to notice he could jump higher than before; like a jumping spider. The lightning ninja landed softly to roll and spring to his feet to keep running for the released and renew energy he had inside him. Like he had unlimited stanima. He noticed he was running for another ledge and jumped over to cheer in pure joy over an alley to land in a crouch and pulled himself up quickly and ran to the ledge to stop. He gazed down to the busy street below him and looked up to see a crane in the distance and across him a small shop. He looked at his hands to hold out his right arm. "Fire webs!" he said, but nothing happened.

His scarred eyebrow was raised to the sudden confusion as strands of web didn't fire from his wrists. He shifted his fingers in many different possibilities and none worked. He groaned as he looked at his wrists to recap on how it happened before and saw how close his middle and ring finger were close to his palm with his pinkie, index, and thumb were out. He looked at it curiously. The auburn teen held his hand out with his fingers arranged and pressed his fingers down.

Thwip!

Surprised, Jay stepped back a little to watch a strand of web fire from his wrist sail through the air. He had to laugh a little as it even tickled him a little as it fired from his wrist. Amazed even. "That's one way to do it then." he guessed and took his spot again to hold out his hand and take aim. His hazel eyes narrowed as he eyed the overhead crane as his target and fired. Thwip! The web fired across the area and splattered to stick to the beams and Jay caught the other end before it slipped past him to ensure his swing. The Ninja of Lightning stood on the ledge to gaze at the street below him and the small shop where he was going to land to. It somehow reminded him of the past, before he became a ninja, when he was going to test his glider wings he invented from the junkyard and failed to crash into a billboard and met Sensei Wu there. But now this was different and going to swing from a web he can create. Couldn't hurt to try, right? Jay had his eyes closed as he drew in a deep breath to stand on the ledge and let gravity take hold and fell.

Jay began to scream as he fell and felt the force of his web take hold to feel his arm tug and swung across the streets. Surprised even that no one saw him. His screams eased as he started to laugh to the thrilling ride; better than his wing gliders. But he quickly stopped to realize his velocity wasn't reducing to scream to skid his feet above tarred roof and couldn't let go to welcome the billboard and slumped. He was dazed at first to groan as he gazed at the sunny sky to feel his body heal itself to sigh with a smile. "Now what?" he wondered.

Oh what did you think!? Getting intense now to the story especially when he can climb and swing like a spider!? What about the soundtrack if you heard it!? Perfectly synced to me when I read it before posting! AHH! XD SO hope you enjoyed the update, leave a review if you wish to, also Happy Birthday to 17blanceri, my FF Twin this weekend, and have a great weekend and I'll see you all next week. :)
