The Truth: A Ninjago story

Jay & Nya

"If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more" - Emma 

Part 1: I can NOT believe this

(Nya)

"I can not believe this" Skylor had the right to be frustrated, in the past week the girls had learned anything and everything about Separation gem and how it worked. then had to find out where in Ninjago did the boy's bodies go, now they were on the destiny beauty deck looking up into a lighting storm (the destiny beauty is a modified and more advanced version of the destiny bounty) "out of all the places in Ninjago this is where Jay's body would end up, I can not believe this" she rolled her eyes looking away from the clouds "and you have mentioned that multiple times" my voice had changed as I had noticed so have my feeling. I was bitter when Harmui first held me but now something had changed, But this isn't about me it's about Jay and his soul being reunited with his body and powers. "There's no rain" Pixal looking was the most intrigued out of all of us you could tell that she was scanning the cloud. "Well, that a good thing, right? I mean the boys wouldn't get incinerated" Pixal looked doubtful as she answered Harmui's question "yes and no, where there is lightning there is sure to be water" I heard Vania snicker as she commented that where there was nya there was sure to be Jay I tried to ignore this for I had impending guilt about how Jay had been by my side and I upped and left him, Just like when there was lighting there was water.

(Jay)

She was different and we both knew it, so I ask the impending question 'will she love me again?' I felt like a creep watching her but I could help it. She was my Yin, the moon to my sun, the earth that I lay upon. She was my life and I had lost her once I couldn't lose her again.

When we reached into the cloud what was waiting for us was not as we expected at all. Large metal gates loomed before us as if they were a part of an ancient city of giants, a vine of lighting seemed to be the lock but the keyhole was not visible. "What do you think this place is?" skylor question was thought by us all "I believe it is an ancient city probably from another dimension" pixal was very clear but my mind could not help but wonder why my body was here "how do we get in?" "hey look there's a riddle" " what does it say?" Everyone looked disappointed at kai who had intruded, skylor but skylor didn't seem bothered by it as she read "I'm the child of water, but when you take me back to the water I'll die. Who am I?" that seems like a very new riddle but we were posed by something more "the logical answer would be Ice" Zane looked straight at Pixal who had tried to avoid their eyes but she looked up under her eyelids her mouth cringing "but I don't know how" she was afraid and had every right to be though she had powers of her own they were one of mind not of mitral things like Ice. Skylor having experience with all powers pitied Pixel then stepped forward to help "it really not that hard Pix" everyone did not like skylor's statement but knew she was trying to comfort Pixal "Take a deep breath, and feel every muscles, hair, skin; Move with your lungs. Imagen a chill in the back of your spine, then traveling up to your shoulders,and then down to your hands. Now put your hand together;and slowly bring them a part" it was like dry ice was in pixal hand when she put them together but as a sloth would move so did pixal hands when we could see what was in them we were amazed; a shiny key gemmed as pixal eyes did when she realized she had done it. Smile were granted to her some could have said that little stars showed in her eyes when she looked to Zane. Feeling along the rod of lightning that served as a lock she found a Beltran with was shaped like a very jagged keyhole, placing that key in the lighting seam to eat it a loud crunching came from the gate pixal was pulled back fearing what would come next. But I was drawn to it so was nay for unconditional we collided. For some reason, the gate seem to sense we were its master and opened in our presence.

(Nya)

What we found was disappointing for it was ice, a labyrinth of ice. "Well, I'll go get the supplies" I could hear harmui chuckle as she joined Vania in walking back to the destiny beauty "great... we get to solve a labyrinth" skylor's was once again thinking what everyone else was too silent to say "look there is another riddle" Pixal had entered the first part and was bending over to read a metal plank that had been frozen for who knows what it means "I have no mouth but eat many things. I fear water, but I love the wind. What am I?" all of us looked into the thin sky like it would answer us "Kai" Skylor's laugh was joined by others for we knew this was not true, Kai was not the answer. "Well, should we get going? "Guys, are we going?" It was a long minute we were left thinking but when Vania shocked us back to reality we were faced with a backpack filled with supplies and sense the boys were see-through each girl took their own and started to walk in a cold abyss that could trap them.

(Jay)

it had been quiet for a good hour for the boys but I had a queer feeling that they had communicated differently "What do you think this is made of?" skylor voiced her question that felt awkward with the silence that had filled the air "I think it's pretty obvious" cole was the one who answered her but all of the Boys were confused. Skylor looked at them as if to say 'wow, really I did think of that "you don't think that it is just Ice?" though her mouth voiced

different her face said it all "well it does remind me of that maze we found when finding the first spinjitzu master grave" Zane seam to be calculating when he says the latter "like the cave Jay saw his future with Nya, cave?" Zane seemed preoccupied so I answer skylor though I was looking at Nya hoping for a smile but she was peering into the Ice as if it showed her the desires of her heart; actually all of them were looking at the Ice like that. "What do you see?" it was weird before we could see each other future but this time we couldn't and though Zane had asked pixel what she saw she was fumbling which I didn't know was possible for nin-dorids "I'm surrounded by kids...but they aren't my own." the looks us boy shared was wired like it would be something girls did. We have no clue what the hell happened next but there was a lot of jumping pixal had turned away from the ice and now was jumping up and down with vaina and harmui who looked as clueless as us. Nya simply smiled and went back to looking in the ice. "AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" the scream skylor produced was bone-chilling the jumping and larger smile disappeared as the girl raced to skylor who had fallen from fear "I'm sorry...it just I didn't remember what my mother looked like" this was even more confusing than the jumping the last jay knew about skylor mother was that she died when skylor was 8, but what surprised us the most was that when skylor had seen her mom she produced a fireball that went through the ice as if it was butter "Fire" Harumi was comforting skylor as they all faced the wall and pixal "you know how skylor comment that it could be kai well it is he is the master of fire which has no mouth but eat many things, water destroy it and it loves wind" skylor pricked up when she heard pixel "you mean that, I literally can make a yellow brick road to the end'' odd, a wizard of oz comment but she was right in a way it was just Ice; which could be melted. Each of the girls had a 'for real' kind of look "Okay, everyone behind me... we are getting out of this nightmare" skylor was clear in her orders but when I say that it was like a little sun coming out of her hands I was not kidding for even as a ghost had to shield my eyes when I opened them it wasn't really a surprise that we found that at the end of the yellow brick road a mansion well it looked a little like a fortress and castle at the same time but I'm calling it a mansion, a big ass mansion that had a no door.
