"You'll do what?!"
"No way!"
"You cannot be serious!"
"Sensei, are you sure you want to do this?"
"I have never been more sure of anything in my life." The old man said as he sipped his tea. "I have known those three since they were small children. The only reason they would return is because something is wrong where they come from."
"And where DO they come from?" Jay asked accusingly.
"I cannot say. Only that it is beyond Ninjago."
"Yet another reason not to trust them." Kai stated, crossing his arms. "We don't know where they come from. For all we know they could come from the Dark Island."
"I can assure you that none of them are from there." Wu stated, starting to become angry. "Those girls would not attack an innocent. They may seem rough, but they are good girls down deep."
"I say we give 'em a chance."
They all turned to Cole who was staring out the window. His eyes were on the girls, who were hanging on the anchor below them. They seemed to be meditating, or sleeping depending on how you look at it.
"Are you nuts?!" Jay exclaimed making wild motions. "Those girls beat our butts!"
"Exactly." Cole said, finally looking at them. "And how well do you think a guy like Ronin could do against them?"
This gave the ninja something to think about. It had taken quite a bit to get the two to go down, and Talynn was just as determined when fighting Cole. Additions like them would be a good idea.
"So it's agreed." The black ninja said. "Who's going to tell them?"
****
"We thank you for this chance." Talynn said, bowing her head a bit. "It means a lot for us to do this."
"Yeah, just don't get too comfortable." Kai said. "If we think you guys are gonna do us harm, you're out."
"Relax Flame Brain." Kyna said, pulling at her bag. "We're not here to cause trouble."
"Sure didn't seem that way when you attacked us." Jay mumbled.
Nya elbowed him in the stomach. It had to be hard for the girls, seeing as they were in a whole new environment. They didn't know anybody besides Sensei Wu since they were kept at the monastery during their training. Even the Bounty would take some getting used to.
"So," Nya began as she opened the door. "This'll be your room. My room is next door and the boys and Sensei's are down the hall. Your room has a conjoining bathroom and whatever you need we can go buy later."
The room was plain except for a few flower designs on the walls. There were three beds; one facing the door, one below the window, and one hidden in the corner. Another door led to the bathroom. And beside each bed was a chest to put their things in.
"Not bad." Soula said looking around. "We allowed to decorate?"
"I don't see why not." Nya replied, unsure of what they would do.
"Smokin'." Kyna said as a black fire ball appearing in her hand. She went over to the bed facing the door and tossed the fire at it. In an instant, the bedspread and the wall began to fill with black and red flames.
"Honestly," Soula called an ice ball to appear in her hand as she set her stuff on the bed below the window. "Must you be so dramatic?"
As the ball hit the wall, white and black began spreading all along her section. Soon snowflakes began appearing all along the wall.
The ninja watched as the two used their powers to decorate. Only Talynn seemed to be doing it the old fashioned way.
"Uh…aren't you gonna use your powers?" Jay asked confused.
"Where's the fun in that?" Talynn asked, pulling the sheets over her bed. They were black with a green rose pattern design on them. "I find it more fun to do things myself then to rely on my powers or my weapons."
"Which is why you attacked me without your weapons." Cole said, coming to a conclusion. "You prefer hand to hand combat to anything else."
"Bingo." She said, grabbing a pencil from her bag. She began sketching on the wall what she wanted on there. "So, anything else we should know?"
"Actually yes." Zane said. "The kitchen is down the hall to the right. Every Wednesday we have Sunrise Exercise-"
"Which you guys interrupted." Said Kai.
"Anything else?" Talynn asked.
"Just that you be careful in the bridge above." Nya said. "A lot of delicate instruments."
"Got it."
"You're sure?"
"Yep."
"Okay…I don't know about you guys." Kai said walking towards the door. "But I'm gonna take a nap."

(Kai Dream P.O.V.)
"I still say that it's a bad idea for you to go." The little one said as I'm packing a bag. "Tallie said something bad's coming. And when Tallie senses-"
"How many times do I have to tell you everything's going to be fine Ky?" I ask as I zip up the bag. "You and the others are gonna be fine. You're Blessed remember?" I ruffle up her hair quick. "Everything's gonna be fine."
"But-"
"I'll see you when I get back okay?"
But I don't hear a reply. It's quiet. Too quiet. I turn back around to see the secret panel that leads to the front yard open. She knows not to use that.
I drop my bag and begin running. I hear her struggling down the hall; calling for me. Why can't I reach her?
"Because you don't want to." A dark voice says. "You have very important work to do so she staged this to happen. So you wouldn't leave."
"That's a lie. She wouldn't do this."
"Oh really? Then why do you leave her then? Aren't you her protector?"
The next thing I see is fire. It's consuming everything. It'll consume her.
"Ky!"
****
"Ky!" Kai yelled as he sat up. His body was in a cold sweat; his hands shaking from what he saw. Was this what it was like for Cole when he saw Tallie? If so, he'd be in for a long ride.
