Ninjago: Gold and black

The past sucks

Erin landed in a mud puddle with a large splash and a string of curses. She jumped to her feet as fast as she could but brown water still seeped in through her bright yellow gi and intoher boots.

Kai groaned and let out a few creative curses himself. "Remind me to bring a helmet next time we time travel," Jay moaned.

"Where are we?" Cole asked as they all attempted to wipe the muck from their various colored gis to no avail.

"You mean, when are we?" Zane correted, gazing around the world around them with a serene expression as if theyhadn't just jumped through a portal into the past.

Kai followed the nindroids gaze and stopped on a blacksmiths shop off into the distance. "Four weapons," he breathes. "Ha! My parents shop! Nya and I used to worked there. Hey, wait a minute, this is the day Garmadon ordered the skeletons to take my sister, we need to warn them!" He exclaimed, stumbling forward.

"Woah, woah!" Cole yells, grabbing Kai by the collar and pulling him back. "You heard what sensei said: we change anything, we change everything." He reprimanded like a parent would to their misbehaving child.

"Yeah, I was confused by that to," Jay said, scratching his head.

"It's the past Jay. Easy as fuck to understand," Erin scowled.

"What he means is, our world is the result of events that have already happened. If for whatever reason, events in our past fail to happen, then our future could radically change." Zane explains.

"Excatly what I said," Erin hit Jay upside the head, earning an indignant squawk from the ginger.

"Uh, so what you're saying is that we gotta stop Garmadon from changing anything? But of all the times, why did we end here?" Jay asked once recovering from the blow he earned to the head.

"Cause this is where it all started." Kai explained. "The day I met sensei Wu for the first time and I began my training as a ninja. Somehow, Garmadon is gonna try and change all of that, but how?"

"That sounds like a dreary origin story," Erin remarks, picking at one of her fangs.

"What was yours like then?" Kai asked with equal snark and saracasm, fully knowing that Erin hadn't disclosed anything about her life before being taken in by Wu.

"Cooler than this," she snarked.

"Okay, lovebrids," Jay said, effectivley shutting both of them up.

Cole sighs. "If only master Wu was here to guide us."

That is when past Wu convenieantly decided to walk by, one hand folded behind his back, the other holding a bo staff. "Oh look, there he is! Maybe he can!" Jay grins, pointing to the old man who had failed to notice the mud covered teens in bright pajamas.

"We gotta tell him what Garmadon has done!" Cole panicks.

"What happened to chnage anything, change everything?" Erin asks.

Kai ignores her and smiles. "I know exactly what to do." He says, turning towards four weapons.

"Your idea seems to involve a lot of stairs," Erin remarks.

"Well I'm sorry," Kai says, glaring.

"Are we sure that you two are actually dating?" Jay asks, looking between the two.

After that, everyone shuts up and continue to walk up the stairs to the shop just as past Kai says, "And it's called four weapons, not for browsing. Either buy soemthing or go pedal your insults eslewhere."

"Too bad. Thought I'd find something special here." Past Wu shrugs, and turns to leave. Just as he passes the ninjas hiding spot, Kai jumps out and grabs their master.

"Sensei, we need your help!"

After making a very, very long story slightly less long, the ninja got Wu to help them. They ended up kidnapping Nya on their own accords and dropping her off into a skeletons lap. Then they found themselves helping their past selves at the fire temple and eventually getting back to their present. Ya da ya da ya da.

"Did we just, uh..." Jay trails off, staring around at the room they just landed in.

"Return to the future?" Kai asks, as Erin starts to gag.

"I'm gonna puke," she rasps, covering her mouth as her slightly pale face.

"This feels familar. But weren't we training Lloyd?" Cole asks, already fearing the worse. And Zane decides to add onto that bad feeling.

"The future is altered and there is no green ninja," Zane shakes his head sadly just as the supposedly non-existant green ninja runs into the very room they stood in, panting.

"Sorry I'm late guys. Are you ready to start training?" He asks, tring to catch his breath still.

"Ha!" Kia exclaims exitedly. "You're still here!" He lunges at the green bean and wraps him in a hug.

"Uh, yeah. Why wouldn't I be?" Lloyd asks, pushing Kai away and looking at him a bit concerned.

"So when we went back in time and destroyed Garmadon's mega weapon, that didn't change anything?" Jay asks as Kai reaches for a watermelon for no apparent reason.

"My father has a mega weapon?" Lloyd asks, his voice hitching and rising a solid two pitches.

"Oh, wait a minute, you've never heard of it?" Kai asks the kid skeptically as he slices the watermelon into numerous pieces and hands them out to his team.

"I think I owuld have remembered that. Why? What is it? Should I be concerned? Hey! What are you guys laughing at? What's so funny?" Lloyd asks as everyone bursts out laughing at his obliviousness.

Amelia glances around quickly before crossing the almost vacant street. She walks at a normal pace, not bothering to quicken her step, knowing no cars were coming somehow.

She weaves through the small trailer park and soon found her destination. The particular trailer she stood in front of was small and painted a light tan. Fairy lights hung from the banister along with a striped canopy, casting a mesmerising pattern onto the rug below it. She knocked on the door and took a step back, fully aware as the door bursts open and a figure tumbles out.

The figure was a girl around her own age. She has pale skin and pitch black hair pulled into a high ponytail. She wore a cropped royal blue shirt with gold trim and matching pants. The outfit of an alchemist. A chain hung around her neck and as she stood and straigtened herself, a small lantern appeared onto the chain, it's faint blue light mixing with the fairy lights.

The girl looked to Amelia, a bit startled, with three, large blue eyes the same hue as her lanterns light. Her long, pointed ears twitched and she swayed on her feet.

The girl before Amelia, was an elf, living in a trailer park full of fairies.

The master of sight stuck her hand out in greeting. "I'm Amelia Ali," she greeted cheerilly as the elf grabbed her hand.

"Orinthia Aeravi," she responded skeptically.

"I'm here on official buisness and would like to request that you join a team I'm putting together." Amelia says, cutting the chase immediatley, knowing that Orinthia was already going to say yes.

I cut this chapter a bit short for no apparent reason. I just wanted to post something as soon as possible. I will try to crank out the next chapter. Also, as you may have noticed, I've been skipping episodes. I am a highly impatient person when it comes to writing, and for my book to progress at a normal rate, I need to get to season three and four as fast as possible.

I'm sorry for possible confusion. :D
