Ninjago: Heart of the Storm (Discontinued)

Chapter One: Rebuilding The City

Despite the lightness of the dawning sky, the stars were so bright and clear like distant diamonds sparkling in the morning sky. As the sun started to rise, it had caught the colors of a blazing, aflame ember as it rise in the east. The faint outline of the moon was in a pale circle of silver, glowing faintly in the dawning sky.
But shining in the light of the sunrise, it was the great city of Ninjago City. The city has many skyscrapers, featuring billboards for advertising businesses. Within the city are people within small shops, lively subway systems, small arcades, schools, large banks, parks, cafes, and restaurants. On the streets are buses that drive around regularly, and many parked cars along the sidewalks.
Ninjago City is a large urban area located near the Sea of Sand. Numerous Secret Ninja Force battles and adventures have taken place within the city. A complex network of subway tunnels can be found beneath the city. After its destruction at the paws of the Meowthra, it was rebuilt by the genius Cyrus Borg and became New Ninjago City. It became a high-tech metropolis, a center of great technological advancements where everything was digitally connected. Not to mention, it was in favor of a more balanced environment.
True to the city's description, the sun had started to rise from the golden and blue sky, the people of the town had started to awakening and getting ready to start their day. The adults had started heading towards nearby stores or started heading towards their work. The teenagers had started working their morning jobs or meeting up with each other in their favorite hangout spots. While the kids had started helping their parents, playing with their older siblings or playing with their pets. But walking out of the bookstore, a teenage girl named Audra Valiente could be seen walking towards the nearby park.
She is one of those very few teens who don't care about their social life and understands the world better. For years, she is incredibly kind and has a soft spot for kids and animals, since she can be a babysitter sometimes and took part in an animal shelter. She is very selfless to the ones she loves and will forever be loyal to them. Her grades were high and she is a strong fanfic writer. She enjoys reading fantasy novels and adventure books that have gotten her to work at the library as one of the assistants there, but she hates war and violence. Though, she gets very annoyed and roughly amused when boys flirt with her.
The first stop was the library, which was a great white building with a dark green rooftop. It was like stepping into a living dream. There's tables are made of solid wood, books were strewn across the top and stacked in piles. The walls were covered with either framed pictures and bookshelves that almost reached the ceiling. As Audra stepped closer into the library, there's more to be seen. Books were everywhere, simply everywhere, but there's also scrolls cubbyholes along the walls. Every corner had a spot to sit at and read in: a few cushioned window seats, arrangement of carpets, or some desks with chairs. There's also a media section where kids can play video games.
It was calm and peaceful in the bookstore, just as Audra liked it as she browsed the shelves looking for the latest books on myths and history. It was a subject she found endlessly fascinating. She was going down the aisle browsing the titles for one that might be useful for her next reading when a title stopped her dead in her tracks.
Not a mythical book nor a history book, but a book of adventure, romance, and the always epic battle between good and evil. Her blue eyes lit up when she found the book she was looking for. A thick, navy blue book with silver trims. On the cover were two rings, the outer one has intricate designs while the center ring depicted a lavish landscape of vibrant green mountains, colorful trees with purple and blue hues, and on the side of the image was a butterfly, it's wings adorned with luminescent patterns that made it pop. Around the circles were six gemstones; emerald, ruby, onyx, opal, sapphire, aquamarine, and silver. She pulled the book from the shelf and rifled through the first few pages. Oh yes, she would be borrowing this one too. She added the book to the pile she had growing at the small desk on the end of the aisle when she heard it. A scuffle. Pausing, she listened for a moment, but the silence of the library enveloped her.
Audra soon sat down on a chair at a desk where her stack of already books were at. She soon started reading her chapter, hardcover book titled "Legend of the Guardians."
"Not long before the founding of Ninjago, a dark sorcerer whose name has been long purged from history had went on a crusade against his fellow wizards and witches, claiming the humans are cruel and arrogant. His methods were harsh, brutal, and deadly and every way he went, he laid waste, killing those he despised the most, leaders who followed their kinds' ways whom he viewed as stagnant and demonstrative of their kind's arrogance and large sense of superiority."
"All would have been lost if it weren't for the Guardians of Ninjago rising up against this threat once they learned of it. They have sworn an oath to protect Ninjago and all who live in it. So, upon learning of the wizard and his reign of terror, they came out from the Temple of Spinjitzu to meet and confront the Dark Wizard in a final battle, a battle whose name is best never spoken to any human or creature. The battle was fierce and both sides fought fiercely for the wizard has great power and appears to have the advantage over his foes. When it seemed all hope is lost, the First Spinjitzu Master, Leader of the Guardians, with the help of other Elemental Masters, successfully defeated the wizard and imprisoned in another dimension behind a magic prison meant to protect Ninjago from the wizard himself, for the First Spinjitzu Master knew that the wizard is responsible for another crime he committed long ago and has been waiting for the perfect moment to punish him for said crime once he found out."
"Despite the Guardians' victory over the Dark Wizard, however, a talented Elemental Master had foreseen a vision that one day, he will return. But, she was ignored for everyone else, expect for the Guardians, is confident that the wizard will be imprisoned forever and forgotten as his name and actions are erased from the history books. Feeling bitter upon returning to her home, the Seer was greeted by a different vision: a new Guardian will appear and will be the first to gain an unclaimed Element. Surprised, the Seer told the Guardians her vision and they listened ever since, they waited for the new guardian to appear, even believing they'll be their last hope against the wizard if they did indeed returned just as the fellow Elemental Master, the Seer, predicted."
She placed the book onto the pile she had growing at the small desk when she heard it yet again. A scuffle. Pausing, she listened for a moment, but the silence of the library enveloped her. She soon heard the sound light footsteps coming towards her. Audra didn't look up from her book to meet the newcomer, especially when he sat down across from her.
"Umm... Excuse me?" A teenage boy's voice was one of the kindest whisper, like a gentle breeze blowing through leaves.
Silently, Audra looked up from her book with slight annoyance from being interrupted from her reading and silent musings, but she masked her surprise at the sight of her sudden guest.
The person is none other than Lloyd Garmadon, the legendary Green Ninja and the Elemental Master of Energy. His light blond hair is in a suave look. She soon locked eyes with him. His beautifully bright green eyes are filled with gentle warmth as he gazed at her. A grey t-shirt peeked from under his green hoodie while his dark jeans had a rip in one of the knees and faded black shoes. Something about him made Audra drawn to him, but she doesn't know what it is.  
Lloyd's breath was hitched in his throat when he and her briefly locked eyes. It was a girl. Lloyd had seen many girls, but not like her. This girl was definitely attractive, but unlike some he had came across, she wasn't jumping to any sudden conclusions immediately. Her gaze was... very distracting, like two pools of pure water and her hair shimmered like the sunlight. Lloyd felt something pounding in his chest as he continued to watch her.
But he shook his head while refocusing onto the question in mind. "What's that?"  
Audra glanced at her Starfarer comic collection. She had forgotten she that she had it. Audra was mostly reading the Starfarer comic collection out of her curiosity. "A bunch of Starfarer comics I was curious about and forgot to put away."
Audra wasn't able to miss Lloyd's excited shriek as he got up from his seat and ran over to the collection of comics. "Oh my gosh! You almost have the entire series! You can't just put them away!"
Audra chuckled quietly and her eyes glittered in amusement, which caused Lloyd to flush in embarrassment. "What do you suggest I do with them?"
"I could take these comics off your hands," Lloyd offered her hopefully.
"If you want them, you can have them." Audra shrugged and the smile that lit up Lloyd's face made her day. He went ecstatic, exclaiming a thousand thank you in a matter of one minute. She smiled softly as he immediately rifled through the box to find the very first issue to begin reading. Something tells her that this little meeting would change her future forever.
