Jay's POV

       I woke with a jump. I had fallen asleep while sketching blueprints for a new invention. How much time had passed? I looked over at a digital clock. It was nearly midnight.
        I got up slowly and stretched. I caught something in the corner of my eye. It was a picture of my old team.
        I sighed and shook my head. "I'll never go back. Not with him," I mumbled to myself. I was still mad at Cole for stealing my girlfriend. My best friend would really do something like that? How do I know if I can trust anyone else?

        I stood outside, staring into the sky. I thought about Zane. I didn't care for anything else at the moment. What was there to care about? I don't have a team any more. My girlfriend left me. It's been so long that our government had changed. People look at me like I'm a savior. Like I'm supposed to make things right. I can't do anything like that. I'm just like them. I may have helped save them once, but that was a long time ago. I'm only a person. I'm special, but have no power on anything else.
        I can't help them.

        I lie in bed, staring at the ceiling. Sure. I miss my friends. I'm still mad at Cole. I'm sad about Nya. I need to grow up and get over it. I closed my eyes. I thought of all the times my friends and I had. I must have done so much, because I dreamed about them as well. But the dreams progressed into nightmares. I wish I could help these poor souls of Ninjago, but I have no power against President Chen.
        There's no stopping a corrupt government.
