Ninjago: Rising Phoenix

12) Land of Lost Things

3rd POV

Volcano puddles erupts into a geyser in the massive field of rocks of mountains in the land of Wildness, as a dragon squeals in pain on a mountain hill, with two Ninjagoan people right beside the red dragon.

''Heatwave is hurt bad.'' Says Wyldfyre worried for her family, kneeling before the horrified wound on Heatwave's chest. ''We have to do something.''

''Don't do anything yet. Wait there.'' Order Kai and turns around to look at the fields below, running straight for some open field with lots of rocks.

''Wait? I don't wait.'' Yell out Wyldfyre, watching the Red Ninja running away from her and down to the wild below. ''Where are you going? You can't leave us.'' Wyldfyre hesitate what to do for a mere second. Stay with her dragon body or follow the Ninja, who might know how to help.

''You are now part of our family, Wyldfyre, and we will always help each other, so trust in us.'' Speak up Mirabel's voice in Wyldfyre's mind, as she quickly remember the few lectures when Wyldfyre and the dragons joined the team. Wyldfyre never felt her heart be lifted and feeling so relieve of preassure. And Mirabel makes her happy and fill in something inside of her, that she never thought she needed before, after living in the wild for so long. All in all, maybe she should listen to her and trust in Kai.

''Wait for me.'' Yell out Wyldfyre out to the Fire Ninja and run after him, breaking her heart by leaving Heatwave behind, but have to hope for that they can find a cure in time. So running deep out to the wildness with the Ninja, finds Kai some rocks and tries to smash them open. And he just keep going with the next rock, making Wyldfyre loose his temper very easily. ''Stop smashing rocks. Heatwave needs help, not you having fun.''

''Smashing rocks is helping.'' Defend Kai calmly and keep going, finding a much lighter colored rock and crack it open and see something blue inside. A blue crystal. ''Find more of these.'' Wyldfyre blinked confused of it and wanna argue even more, but Mirabel's words echo in her head again and keeps her outburst in and does as told, searching for geodes crystals.

*Nya and Sora*

The two looks at massive stone golem, one looking confused while the other looks at it with hope. If the being really is who it says it is, then Nya know someone who would love to know it.

''Nya... Why does this huge angry monster know your name?'' Ask Sora a little timid at the golem.

''This monster is Cole... Well, sounds like Cole. Doesn't look like Cole.'' Says Nya a little skeptical, having to compose her hopes to stand on guard.

''Cole, Cole? As in the missing Earth Ninja? Hero of Shintaro?'' Ask Sora on and on, not understanding how the monster can really be the missing Earth Ninja.

''Huh? Shintaro?'' Speak up the golem in dazed and step back a little, to glow up and let all of the rocks around its body fall to the ground and reveal the secret inside. The very Ninja himself.

''Cole.'' Cheered Nya amazed and run straight into a hug. ''I can't believe it. Someone is sooo gonna be happy to hear about it.''

''I hope so.'' Hum Cole in response, hugging Nya back with a strong squeeze, before taking a look at Sora and at how she knew that small detail about Shintaro. Not many knows about it since Shintaro is a mysterious hidden place in Ninjago and they wanna stay like that, so everything happening there doesn't comes out to the other side. ''Wow. Someone has done her homework on me.''

''Huh, my best friend is a Ninja super fan. He even got a Zane haircut once.'' Inform Sora, slightly embarrassed of her friend's past choice.

''Please tell me you are kidding.'' Wish Cole with an unimpressed look on his face.
