Unshattered Heart

Back Home

A lightning bolt struck a piece of rubble. The woman with white hair and the cloaked man stood next to the coffin of the fallen ninja.

"Finally, the time has come to set our plan in motion," She said with an evil laugh. She opened the coffin and injected a serum into the arm of the ninja's corpse. The man checked for a pulse. Nothing. The woman started to get frustrated.

"It took a few minutes for it to work on you, be patient. Plus, we don't know if him being an elemental master will affect how the serum works either," the man said in a monotone voice. A pulse appeared through the dead man's body. His eyes opened and he caught his breath. Something was different about him though. He climbed out of the corpse and looked around. He didn't recognize the place. He looked at the woman.

"Who are you?" He asked curiously. He looked at his hands. "Who am I?"

The moon was bright. Lloyd and Nya landed at the temple. Lloyd looked at the walls as they entered. Every significant moment in their team's history was on the walls. It felt like the temple got bigger every time he came here. The time they beat the Great Devourer, Lloyd facing the Overlord, Zane's sacrifice, The Tournament of elements, and Garmadon's sacrifice, Nya taking down the Preeminent. There was one that he didn't remember happening, but it was on the wall. it was an image of Jay fighting a djinn. There was also a mural with Cole and Master Yang, the Time Twins facing Kai and Nya, Lloyd and Lord Garmadon facing off, and one of Wu and some guy with a top hat and iron claw from the Realm of the Oni and Dragon. There was also the time they took out the Oni on the wall. All such powerful memories, full of so much meaning. Well, at least they meant a lot to Lloyd.

Nya stared at the wall with the djinn on it. Only Jay and her knew what happened with that. She wiped away a tear from her face. She turned to Lloyd. He was looking down a hallway, the hallway that happened to have jay's old room. The two ninjas snuck their way down the hallway. They stopped in front of the former room of the now deceased Master of Lightning. A shock went down both of their spines. Something felt wrong, but what it was, neither were sure.

Nya escorted Lloyd back to his room. He opened the door and started to walk inside, when he suddenly turned around. His blond hair was a mess, covering his left eye. He mouthed the words "Thank you", to make sure no one would awake from their late arrival. Nya nodded back at him with a sincere smile on her face. He closed the door as she turned to walk back to her room.

He sat down, his back to the door. All he could think about was her. He felt like he was responsible. He was incharge, Jay's death was his fault. He couldn't shake the thought. He sobbed as quietly as possible.

Nya turned back to Lloyd's door and sat. She pressed her back to his door. She heard the faint sound of sobbing from the otherside. She wiped away tears from her eyes. It always hurt to see him struggle. He was the one she looked up to right now, he was the one who was there for her, even when she would try to push him away. A memory hit her hard, a memory of just her and Lloyd.

The other ninja were presumed dead after the Bounty got crushed by Lord Garmadon's stone golem. Nya and Lloyd were running from the Sons of Garmadon. Lloyd had just stormed off from getting frustrated with training. She had followed him. He hid behind some boxes, where he probably presumed he wouldn't be found. She peaked behind the boxes to find him with his face buried in his hands. She sat down next to him and put her hand on his shoulder.he moved his hands and turned his head towards her, tears streaking from his eyes.

"It's my fault they're gone, its my fault my fathers terrorizing Ninjago, everything is my fault" he said. She looked at him and pulled him into a hug. He was warm, and hugging him made her feel more comfortable than ever. She continued to hold him close.

"Nothing is your fault. Things happen. We just got to roll with the punches and move forward. Putting the blame on someone is easy, and can have negative effects, especially if you place it upon yourself. I lost my brother and my boyfriend, as well as the rest of my friends. We just have to move forward and keep our heads high" She said, trying not to cry.he grabbed her tighter as he continued to sob.

"Thanks" he said. The two got up and went back to training.

Tears Struck down her face as the memory flooded her head. She hated seeing him like this, but she just wanted to be there for him, just like he was for her.

The sobbing on the other side of the door stopped. She decided to get up and head to her room. She walked down the hall and opened her door. She found a note on her bed and put it on her desk. She closed the door, plopped on her bed, and went to sleep.

Three figures traversed through the woods. The female with the white hair put her hair up into a ponytail, as she explained who the Master of Lightning was. She told him everything, but added a twist at the end. She told him it was the one in green who betrayed him, he's the reason he was originally killed. According to her, he never got along with the green one. The green one betrayed both of them

The Lightning Ninja looked at his hands, sparks emanating from them. Only one thought was on his mind, revenge.
