LEGO Ninjago (Reader Insert)

Operation Land Ho!

(Woo! Here it is! So much excitement in this one! Who is ready?)

"Okay, don't panic. Nya fought like a true Ninja. Though she is now captured and is being prepared for a wedding which will grant Nadakhan infinite wishes. And I am currently trapped in the Sword of Souls with most of the team but can astral project, but not know how  to use my powers properly while like this and apparently not know who can hear and see me unless they do and who knows when that will happen. NO PRESSURE." I drag my hands down my face. This is really looking bleak. NO! I slap myself. Do not give up! There is still hope. (There is a lot going on and not enough time to process it. 😓)

Now, where am I and where is Jay? I rest my hands on my hips to find miles of desert. I hear screaming and turn around- Oh. Ed & Edna's Junk Yard. Perfect. Walking in, I look around until I hear groaning and make it over to find Jay in a pile of scrap. "Our son!" I look to see Ed and Edna. "Oh, you mean our adopted son, Ed. Remember?" That matters? "Of course I remember, Edna. But this is the second time he's landed on our doorstep, and if you think I'm not going to help him, well, you don't know the man you married." "Of course I know. That's why I married you." Man, I have missed these two. Their love for Jay cannot be measured, and I feel it right now. (They are such a power couple~ 🥰)

They climb up and check on Jay, "Oh, I hope he's all right." "Now, how does someone just fall from the sky?" Uh, that's a long story I would be happy to tell if you could hear me. "Hmph! This is so annoying." I cross my arms. (I imagine her pouting.) "Mom... Dad...?" I drop my arms and look down at Jay. Oh, I can feel his exhaustion and despair. But mostly his disappointment in himself. I really hope Nya is doing okay. And giving some bruises to those pirates. I kneel down and hold my hand above Jay's chest, some whisps travel to him then sparkle. I hope this can heal him even by a little.

I stop and move as Ed and Edna pick up Jay and help him to the trailer. He is sat down in a chair and Edna covers him with a blanket. I can feel his pain and despair with my powers as he looks down at the floor refusing to make eye contact with anyone. Ed stands while he watches Jay and Edna makes some soup. I hate seeing Jay like this, he has always been the positive while rational one of the group, always making others laugh to ease tension but now... it's like he's lost all hope. Which is NOT how ninja roll. Let alone nobody should lose hope. I just wish I could slap sense into Jay. Maybe when I'm back in body. (Maybe.)

Edna gives him the soup and he slurps it up as he explains what has happened. "And then when I tried to save Nya with the Traveler's Tea, she said since I had the most important wish, I was the one who needed to be saved. Then she pushed me through the portal. I had no idea where I was going. I guess with my parents on my mind, it sent me where I needed to be." I smile at the last bit, and feel Ed and Edna's emotions as they are happy Jay still sees them as his parents. Like that would ever change. (Never ever. EVER.)

"Oh. Hear that? He called us his parents." Edna says. "So that's why Ninjago is falling apart." Ed says. And floating in the sky to recreate a realm that was destroyed. I mean, how were we supposed to know some realms are tightly connected? "If I could take back the wishes, I would. But I can't. It cost me my friends, the love of my life, and most importantly, the two people who care for me the most." Oh, Jay... But Ed groans and I look to find him shaking his head with a stern frown. "And now it's up to me, and me alone, to stop the wedding and save the world. Just one guy against a djinn and his entire army." Jay says.

"Now, you stop it. Stop making excuses." Whoa. Ed snaps. "Excuse me?" Jay says surprised. And so am I. I never heard or see Ed get this upset. "Every time you're over your head, you make a joke to try and you laugh it off. Right now is not a time to be a man of words, but a man of action." I blink. Wow. "Ed, don't be so hard on him." Edna says, moving over to comfort her son. "Now, he needs to hear this, darling. The world is falling apart, and he's eating soup." Ed states. "But-Ah- I told you, it's just me." Jay says. "Hush, puppy!" Pfft. I cover my mouth. Jay has a nickname being puppy? I slap myself. No! Focus, woman! "You're liked by everyone who meets you. You're telling me a boy from a junkyard ant scrap together a few new friends to help him out in a jam?" Ed says.
