Finally making it back to Ninjago, Raya stared with shock. "My city!" She fell to her knees with tears sliding down her cheeks. Arin stood net to her, he gently placed a hand on her shoulder.

"It'll be ok." He tried to reassure her. He knelt down next to her. "Come on." He gestured to the city. "We should see what happened."

"You're right." Raya choked, wiping her tears as she shakily pushed herself up back to her feet. "Hey." She blinked away her tears. "Borg Tower!" She cried, pointing to the tallest building in the distance. "Borg Tower!"

"Is that - ahh!" Arin cried when Raya grabs his hand and yanks him as she runs towards the city, he stumbled as he tried to keep up.

In the city. Raya looks around.

"What's so important about Borg Tower?"

The red head rolled her eyes in annoyance, Raya turns to him. "You don't know anything, do you?"

"I know enough."

"If you're a real Ninja fan." Raya points at him, then jabs her finger into his chest. "Then you would know that, that Doctor Borg is a dear and close friend of the Ninja!"

Arin rubs his chest when Raya turns to look around. "I'm sorry." He apologized.

The red head turns back around to face him. "I'm sorry too." She turns back around to look around them. "Come on!"

"Whoa!" Arin cried surprised when she grabs his hand and yanks him along down the street.

The Noodle House came in the distance. "There!" Raya cried, letting go of Arin and racing towards the restaurant. "Mom!" Raya cried as she got closer and closer to her family's business.

But she stopped to a sliding and stumbling stop, her eyes wide as she stared at the front of the Noodle House.

The boards had fallen off, the paint is chipped and the big window is broken and the sign above the building had fallen over and broken in two and most of the wall was broken down.

Arin walked up to stand behind Raya, he wanted to ask what happened but he knew he'd get his head chopped off again.

"MOM!" Raya screamed, racing to the building and climbed through the ruble, disappearing inside. Arin quickly ran after her.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx

"What happened here?"

Arin blinked, turning to Raya who had asked that question. "The same thing that happened everywhere else." He answered.

Raya looked up at the ceiling. The ceiling had fallen in. "I can't believe this."

Suddenly there was a noise, startling the two teens, and Arin hurried up to Raya's side, he grabbed a broken chair and lifted it up in case they needed a weapon.

A shady looking man appeared in front of them, scaring the teens. "What are you doing here? This is my home, mine!" He yelled.

"What!?" Raya yelled, she didn't know if she felt insulted or offended or both. "This is my family's business!" She yelled, her hands turning to fists and little flames started to come out of her hands. Neither teen noticed.

"My place!" The shady man again yelled, he charged at Raya.

"Raya!" Arin yelled.

Raya grabbed the shady's man's arm when he got close and flung him over her shoulder, sending him flying and he fell hard on the ground.

"Whoa!" The shady man gasped as he laid on his back on the floor, he rolled to his side and stumbled to his feet, he looked at Raya before he turned and ran out of the restaurant.

Arin's jaw dropped. "How?" He gasped. "How did you do that?"

"I told you who I am." Raya told him annoyed, the red head looked around. She moved, climbing over drabs as she tried to get to a side door.

"Where are you going?"

"I need to at least try to get upstairs." Raya stumbled her way to a door. "My dad." She grabbed a broken beam and tried to push it away, as she struggled Arin quickly came over and helped her push it to the side where it crashed and half crashed into a wall through what was left of the kitchen.

Arin winced. "Sorry." He apologizes as he turns to her.

"It's ok." Raya turns to the wall in front of her. "My dad." She started again. "He had an emergency door put in, a camouflage door."

"Why?"

Raya smiled, turning to Arin. "If there was one thing that my dad loved more then his power. It would be my mom." She turns back around and starts to run her hands along the wall, trying to feel something that would help her get upstairs.

"That's very sweet."

"My dad was a comic when it came to my mom. Someone would mention her and dad would automatically freak and rundown anyone to rush up to mom's side." Raya smiled softly as the many memories of Kai freaking out over nothing entered Raya's mind.

Tears flooded her eyes and Raya sank to the floor, crying as she rested the side of her head on the wall.

Arin knelt down next to her. "Raya, everything's going to be ok." He soothed gently. "We have to have hope."

"There's nothing here that can help!" Raya sobbed. "We don't even know what happened!"

"I can help." The new voice had both teen jump and turn to see another teen there age with pink hair tied in a high ponytail with headphones with cat ears.

"Who are you?" Arin asked as he and Raya stood up. "We don't want trouble."

"I don't want any trouble either." The pink haired teen said as she stood with her hands held up innocently.

"This place belonged to my family." Raya told her. "Who are you?"

"My name's A." The pink haired teen paused. "My name's Sora."

XxXxXxXxXxXxXx

After a little bit, the three teens now stood outside on the sidewalk. "Ok, I'm gonna make it simple." Raya said, looking at Sora. "We tell you what we know, so you tell us what you know."

"I'd listen to her." Arin told Sora with a smile, then pointed at Raya. "She's pretty scary."

"Shut up!" Raya yelled at him, she turns back around to the pink haired teen. "Well?" She questioned. "Who are you?" She asked. "What do you know?"

"Like I said. My name's Sora. And I'm from Imperium."

"Imperium?" Raya repeated. "That must be a new realm."

Arin looked at Sora. "Tell us what you know."

"The Merge happened." Sora answered simply.

"The … what?" Raya asked confused.

"That's what happened." Sora answered. "The Merge."

Raya folds her arms. "That's not answering the question!" She said hotly. "Look around you! Ninjago isn't the same anymore! My parents are missing! The rest of my family is missing! The Ninja!"

"What a minute!" Arin took a step towards Sora. "I … we witnessed it." He told her. "The weird white light in the sky."

"It was like the sky was opening portals." Raya added, looking thoughtful. "You could see other realms and cities through each of them."

"It started as a regular day." Arin said. "A beautiful day. I was outside with my parents."

"I was getting yelled at." Raya sighed, folding her arms. "Then got grounded." A thought struck her. "With what happened, am I still grounded?"

"I got grounded." Sora states simply. "Then I ran away."

That shocked both Arin and Raya. "You ran away?" Arin asked.

"Why?" Raya asked.

"Imperium is not what you think it is. Everything I thought I knew."

"Hey kid! Get back here!" The voice had the three turn to see a kid, wearing a black cloak as he ran from a vender.

Raya ran after the kid, who looked at her before picking up speed.

"Hey kid!" Raya picks up speed to keep chase.

"Raya!" Arin ran after her.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx

The kid in the black cloak, breathed heavily as he leaned on the side of a building. Reaching up the kid took off his hood to reveal his identity.

"Hey." A shocked Raya walks up to him. "I know you."

The boy glared at her. "Well, I don't know you." He quickly turned to run off, but Arin quickly blocked his path.

"Arin, stop!" Raya orders. "I know this kid, he's older."

The blonde kid, slowly reached for a baseball bat. "You don't know me!" He threw the bat at Raya, who jumps out of the way. "And I don't know you!" He turned and ran off.

Only for Sora to grab his cloak, yanking him to a stop.

"Let me go!" The blonde kid yelled, struggling to get away, he turned and kicked her in the leg, that caused her to let go, the boy then turned to run off.

"Wu!" Raya yelled, chasing after him, she jumps forward - tackling him to the ground.

"Get off me!" The boy yelled, struggling against her as he tried to free himself.

"Wu, stop!" Raya grunted when she was elbowed. That caused her to let go and he kicked her in the chest, causing to fully let him go when she fell backwards.

"Raya!" Arin cried, hurrying up to her and kneeling down next to her. Causing the blonde boy to stop in his tracks when he heard the name.

That gave Sora time to sneak up behind him, and grab him.

Raya stood up and and walked over to the blonde boy. "Wu, is that really you?" She asked, studying him.

The blonde boy grunted and shoved Sora off him. "Who are you?" He asked Raya.

"Wu, it's me. It's Raya. Raya Smith. Both our dad's know each other."

The blonde stared up at her. "You knew my dad?"

"Of course I know your dad!" Raya said with a smile. "He's my godfather."

Young Wu Garmadon slowly smiled. "Raya." He walked up to her. "You grew, I didn't recognize you. Of course I was still young too."

"Come here kid." Raya grabbed him in a tight hug.

Wu smiled as he pulled away. "Come on!" He took her hand. "Mom's going to flip out!"

XxXxXxXxXxXxX

Young Wu lead them to a small shack that was near the interstate. "Mom!" Wu called after opening the front door and the four walked into an open floor plan that's a small dinning room and living room. "Mom, you're not going to believe this!" He called out with a big smile. "Mom!"

"Wu! What's going on?" Chantal asks as she enters the room. "Are." She stops short and gasps when she sees the three teens.

"Chantal?" Raya gasps, it was her, but she was older, but it was definitely her. With all the pictures of Lloyd and the other Ninja hanging on the walls or on the fireplace mantel. "It … its me." She slowly walked up to her. "Raya. Kai's daughter."

Chantal gasped. "Raya!" The knitting bag in her hands fell to the floor. "Raya!" She cried, running to her, throwing her arms around the teen. "You came back!"

"Yes." Raya choked, hugging Chantal just as tightly. "It's me." Her body shook. That was two down, now if she could find the rest of her family.

Chantal pulls away from the now teen. "Let me look at you." She said through tears as she took Raya's hands and held them out to the sides. "Beautiful. A perfect blend of Kai and Skylor." She reached over, gently wiping Raya's tears. "Sweetheart, what's wrong?"

"I … I have to find dad. Be."- Raya chokes out a sob. "Before The Merge, we were yelling at each other, and I said something mean to him." Tears streamed down her cheeks.

"I heard what you said. You were angry, both of you were."

"I shouldn't have said it." Raya sobbed. "What if I never see him again and the last thing we did was fight?"

Chantal pulled Raya into her arms. "Oh baby. Your dad will find his way home. And your dad does love to find danger in the process."

Suddenly a loud growling is heard. Arin blushed brightly when everyone in the room turned to him.

"Sorry." He apologized, his hands on his stomach.

Chantal smiled. "Everyone. Come into the kitchen." She offered. "I have plenty of food." She turns to wrap her arm around Raya. "And I'll explain the best way I can."

Raya smiled, she turns to look at Arin and Sora. "Guys, come on." She waved them over.
