The ninja's woke up to the sound of banging, prisoners were punching the cell bars until their knuckles bled, giving looks of hatred and sheer aggression to the previous hero's of Ninjago City.

" We can take you on ! " The black ninja shouted, his voice still groggy from still being partially asleep.

The blue ninja, Jay, rubbed his head, his back hurt like hell,the mattresses could be replaced with boulders and he wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

Jay walked over to the cell bars, looking upon the numerous death threats he was getting, people pretending to slit their throats and verbal shootings were what filled the room. He sighed, completely tired of it.

One cell room seemed to catch his eye, two muscular males were banging on their cells, tattooed bodies and deep black hair and eyes. They seemed to be some of the more scary among the prisoners, but between the two was a rather short male, wearing a dove costume.

" Weird " was all the ninja thought, before realizing he wasn't banging on the bars like everybody else, he was gazing at him, in almost admiration. He didn't look like he was going to rip the lightning right out of him.

" Looks like we got an admirer. " he heard the nindroid chirp from behind him, seeming to have been looking at the same cell the blue ninja's eyes had locked on.

" Oh — yea it's a little strange. Don't you think everyone in here would be out to get us? What's different with him?" Jay questioned, looking over to Zane.

"I have no records of us ever putting him behind bars, so he must have nothing against us." The droid analyzed, before walking away and going back to whatever he was doing.

The earth ninja went and sat besides his friend, the buzzing of the prison seemed to calm down a little bit, most of the cell bars have already been dyed red due to the aggression of the people trapped behind them.

" Its a little scary, but don't worry bluebell, they can't get us behind these bars. " he patted the shoulder of his curly friend and ushered him to sit down. Which he complied.

" We've done so much for ninjago, and now we're stuck here — for five years ?! " Jay felt frustration blowing up inside him, he layed back and tapped his foot, anxiety building up in him as the reality of their situation was setting in.

Behind him Lloyd, the green ninja, was talking about some sort of Crystal King or whatever that was. Jay wasn't really paying attention, he was more focused on other things, such as what his cool prison name was gonna be.

He ignored the discussion until he heard the words.

"We're gonna break out."

He turned around, eager to join their conversation. " Finally ! I already can't stand this place!" Jay chirped, his back was aching, the sun outside was just too bright during yard time, and his hips felt like they were popping to the right, everything just felt wrong.

" We're gonna try to escape, be ready." Kai then filled Jay in on their plans.

"What could go wrong?"

Everything. Everything went wrong.

Fugidove sighed as he saw the ninja being dumped back into their cells for around the third time that day. They had made numerous escape attempts and failed each one.

" if they all escape how am I suppose to fight them ! ? " the dove questioned, clearly with nothing in mind.

He had heard recent news about this Crystal King and he knew that eventually he'd get this so called invitation. He was a super-villian of course. Fugidove was in his cell, staying as far away from his buddies as possible. It's what he usually did.

The guards were all going and checking on each prisoner, banging their battalions across each one as usual, the sound was piercing his ears, he groaned of annoyance and stuffed his face into the boulder that was his uncomfortable pillow.

Once the guards finished their check ups they opened the cell doors, calling everyone to the lobby for an announcement.

He perked up from his bed, flapping his wings and running out of his cell and down the stairs, a strange excitement beaming over him. The dove went over to the main area and awaited the response from the guards that had gathered them all out of their cells.

The warden fixed up his jacket, and went onto a little step stool he got, trying to appear as bigger than all the prisoners, and so they could see him over the crowd. "Alright, as most of you know we are going to do the monthly community service."

Groans echoed throughout the room.

The ninja on the other side of the crowd, started to give it their attention, it was their chance to escape. Although, if it was a public city area, they were utterly.. screwed.

"This time we're going to a part of the desert, your going to go in separate groups throughout the week. Today our people going are — "

The warden went through names that weren't recognizable or important, but eventuwlly finished off his list

"Janktooth .. Fugidove .. and the newbies, the ninja."

The ninja took a sigh of relief, all the criminals they were stuck with were on the more .. calm side.

On the other hand, Fugidove was bursting of excitement, he had been too nervous to speak to them, but this was his chance! He could ask all the questions he wanted, and maybe Jay would even talk to him!

He felt his face go red and he repeatedly tapped his foot, he didn't even realize when Jadhook and Girblade came up from behind him.

They grabbed him by the shoulder, and glared intensely at him, but almost with — envy.

" Listen smartass, the ninja have gotten us in deep shit, and if I could pound your skull so we could get on that bus instead I would, but you need to relay them a message that we are going to find their families and fuxking kill them and —"

The dove had stopped listening, his mind daydreaming .. thinking about all the times he saw him on the news, all the times he fantasized about fighting him, all the times he stayed up late and watching his old game show, he, Jay Walker.

He internally giggled and a smile spread across his entire face.

"You got that shithead ?" Girblade sneered.

" Uhhwa — yes ! " fugidove replied, although he had no idea what his cell mate had gone on about.

Fugidove excitedly entered the van, his heart pounding in his chest, he went to the second seat in the back and hid bellow it, waiting for the blue ninja to come sit.

He heard tapping feet and soon saw the man himself walk past his seat and go and sit right in the back.

" don't be nervous Fugidove , it's just your arch nemesis.."

He sucked up his courage, popped up from his seat, flapped his wings and spoke.

" Well isn't it my arch nemesis Jay?"
