Ninjago: Heart of the Storm (Discontinued)

Chapter Seven: In The Shadows

The city was somewhat quiet as night fell upon the Ninjago City. The stars may be hard to spot in the dark sky, but only the moon could be seen shining in the night sky. Many of the city people have returned to their respective homes and the city has started to quiet down for the night.
But in the center of the road, there was a young boy who seemed lost. But she soon a loud horn of a car or truck. Everyone all looked to where the horn came from and saw an eighteen-wheeler driving at full speed and trying to push on the breaks, heading straight for the boy. The Teal Ninja ran towards the road as fast as she could, grabbed the boy and pulled him out of the way of the truck back on to the sidewalk, right before the truck would've hit him. She held the boy tightly and could feel him breathing heavily and shaking against her.  
She lowered her head and locked eyes with the startled boy. "Are you okay?" The boy nodded. "Maybe you should go home now." The boy soon reunited with his worried parents while the new ninja had disappeared without a sound.

As the Teal Ninja (aka Audra) quietly continued on her first solo patrol, she spotted a large noodle truck driving pretty late in the night. The Teal Ninja looked up at the sky from the wet concrete rooftop ledge he was currently standing on. Above him resting on a power-line was a black falcon, the gentle patter of the light drizzle hitting its metallic body. The bird looked down at the girl with blue eyes before moving to roost on the Teal Ninja's outstretched arm. After the landing, the Falcon flew back into the air, letting out several seemingly frantic shrieks.
"Falcon? What is wrong?" The Teal Ninja asked before contacting herself into an internal comm link. "Pixal, can you show me the feed of what Falcon has located?"
"Of course Audra," Pixal replied as the camera feed from Falcon's eyes appeared. "It seems that a group of Elemental Masters are being mugged."
"Pixal, quickly, patch me back into the comms with the Ninja please." It took no time at all for Audra to hear a second click identical, signaling that she was once again patched in with the other Ninja. "Everyone! Quickly, come to my position. There is a group being surrounded by muggers!"
"Try not to get into trouble until I get there," said Lloyd worriedly. "Please be careful."
"I'll be right there!" Kai replied before patching out again.
"Same here!" Cole said.
"We're on our way!" exclaimed Jay.
"Hold on Sister!" Nya called out.
"Affirmative," Zane agreed. 
Audra jumped down from the ledge she was on and onto the rooftop of a slightly shorter building. The Master of Wind did not like having to wait, but she knew the Ninja was right. They would have better odds fending off the thugs together. If Audra went into the fray without her teammates, there was a chance she and the bounded citizens were being led away into a sparked, large noodle shop.
But she jumped in place when she heard a skirmish happening down below from her hiding place. Audra bit back a gasp when she saw a frightened girl running away from her captors and into the shadowy alleyway. She heard a guy's voice crying out in fear of his younger sister(?) and was acting out against his captors. She soon caught sight of the other Ninja.
Quickly tapping into her comms, Audra quickly contacted Lloyd. "I'll be right back. But I have to rescue an escapee."
"Okay, be careful." By Lloyd's advice, causing Audra to smile softly and she took off after the frightened girl and her kidnappers.

The group of men chased after a young girl named Obscuria. So, one foot in front of another, as the night wore on, she ran through the city. She jumped over fallen objects, dodged the thrown objects, and continued running through the dark alleyways. The minutes passed quickly as she navigated the many obstacles.
But she came to a sudden stop when she saw a tall fence. She won't be able to make the jump and she couldn't find the latch of the gate. Obscuria herself near the fence and behind a stack of boxes. She hid behind the stack of boxes and watched the purple snake tattooed men fearfully as they cornered her into her own hiding place.
A sudden gust of wind blew through the alleyway, as if it was protecting Obscuria from the freaky kidnappers. Everyone turned to see where the gust of wind had came from and many became stunned at the sight. Standing in the light of the full moon was the new Teal Ninja, her eyes straight to attention, a glow of blue that shone out from the light of the moon, making the new Ninja's gaze illuminating and unnerving in the light.
By the next minute, the Teal Ninja was soon kicking more a lot of heck out of the thugs than Kim Possible in her movies. She used her Elemental Power to blow them around and gave them upset stomachs. One of the thugs grabbed her from behind. Audra stomped onto their foot, grabbed their arm and flung them into a group of three others. At that moment, the six thugs ran off from the new Ninja. The new Teal Ninja soon eyed her new, but frightened companion curiously. She soon turned around to look fully at Obscuria curiously, but Obscuria tensed as the Teal Ninja stared at her calmly.
"Are you okay?" The Teal Ninja's voice was calm and gentle as a fresh summer breeze.
"Y-Yeah, I'm okay." Obscuria let herself come out of her hiding place. "Are you the Teal Ninja? The new Master of Wind?"
The Teal Ninja seemed to have smiled at Obscuria gently from underneath her mask. "Sure am." She patted Obscuria's shoulder. "Follow me. Your older brother is worried about you." The two of them both smiled at each other and walked away together to reunite with their companions.

By the time they stepped out of the shadowy alleyway, Audra and Obscuria both saw that the police had arrived taking away the kidnappers while the Ninja helped the kidnapped people untie from their chains. Everyone engaged in some amount of different conversations, some more than others. But pacing back and forth was a worried Lloyd, whose bright green eyes were filled with fear and concern about his crush. Nearby, Shade was gently being comforted by Kai and Nya, due to his own worries for his little sister.
A scuffle. Lloyd looked up at the sound and turned towards the shadowy alleyway where two certain people step out of hiding.
"Shade!" cried out Obscuria joyfully.
"Obscuria!" Shade's tearful gray eyes brightened at the sight of his little sister.
"Shade!" She wrapped her arms around Shsde and squeezed her older brother tightly. Obscuria felt Shade's strong arms wrap around her. She shut her eyes and let her whole body relax into the embrace. A silent sob escaped from her. Warm tears were sliding Shade's face too.
Lloyd's expression brightened when he saw her. "Audra!" The two of them both hugged each other.
She looked up at the Green Ninja, studying his face just as she had the first time they met. Lloyd's hair was a mess from all the fighting he had. "Thank you all, for everything." Audra clung onto the boy with a smile. Lloyd felt himself soften as he wrapped his arms around Audra.
"You really had me worried you know," Lloyd stated as the two of them remained in their embrace.
"You were here to save me though, just like before." Audra continued to rest her head against the Energy Ninja's chest, listening to the soothing sound of his heartbeat. While everyone else smiled at the duo could tell that they are going to be an interesting pair.
