Misako put down her cup of tea and rubbed her collar bone. She hadn't been feeling very well lately. She was looking older too. He hair was over seventy five percent white now. She was much slower and more forgetful.

She sighed. Her chest hurt. She felt like she had a large amount of pressure against her lungs. She laid her head back and tried to take deep breaths. Before she realized it, she was asleep.

*****************************

"Grandma!" James yelled loudly.

"Yes, James?" Misako started awake and called from the living room.

"Your cookies are burning," he said pointing towards the kitchen.

"Ahh! I completely forgot about them!" Misako yelled. She jumped from the couch and ran to the kitchen.

"Is it just me or does Grandma seem a lot more forgetful lately?" Jacqueline asked her brother.

"I don't know," James shrugged. "Maybe it's an old people thing."

"I heard that!" Misako called from the next room.

"I guess she doesn't have the typical hard of hearing," James said with a cheesy grin.

A dish towel flew from the kitchen and James dashed off. Jacqueline rolled her eyes at James's comments.

"Hey!" Noah yelled from upstairs. "Who took my favorite sweater?!"

"I'm pretty sure Ella stole it," Connor yelled back. "She has this weird thing about wearing your sweatshirts. She says they smell like you."

"Oh, well when I get it back then it will smell like her," he replied.

"Ewww!" Connor gagged. "That's so gross!"

"You will think that way too some day, kiddo," Cole said ruffling Connor's hair.

"Cole!" Amaya yelled. "Come get your daughter! She has been crying all day!"

"I think your mom needs a break," Cole said to Connor before leaving the room.

"Why is everyone yelling?" Garmadon asked. "It is nearly impossible to get any meditation in anymore."

"Since when has it been possible," a very annoyed and sleepy looking Lloyd said.

"What smells like it's burning?" Garmadon asked.

"Grandma forgot about some cookies she had put in the oven," Jacqueline said.

"That's a first. She never forgets stuff like that," Lloyd smirked. "Hey, Mom! You finally forgot about a batch of cookies huh?"

There was no answer. Lloyd just assumed she hadn't heard him. He walked into the kitchen with  Garmadon to see a very pale faced Misako. She was clutching at her heart.

"Mom?" Lloyd asked suddenly worried what's wrong. Misako looked at him and tried to mouth something. "Mom!"

Garmadon ran forward and caught Misako before she hit the floor.

"Aira!" Lloyd practically screamed.

Aira ran into the room and looked alarmed at her husband's tone of voice. She gasped as she saw Misako half on the floor.

"Lloyd! What happened?!" She asked. She ran over to Misako and began to look her over. "Call an ambulance!"

"What happened?!" Xavier yelled.

"She isn't breathing!" Aira said frantically. She pulled her out of Garmadon's arms and placed her flat on the floor. "Call for help! I'm going to do CPR."

"Xavier! Go get Zane or Pixal now!" Lloyd commanded.

Garmadon was currently on the phone calling for an ambulance. Garmadon just hoped they could get here quickly enough. They were pretty far away from New Ninjago.

"It's a heart attack!" Aira yelled as she continued to do chest compressions.

"I called an ambulance!" Xavier shouted. "They are one their way!"

"What happened?" Zane asked hurriedly.

Zane went over and swapped places with Aira. Chest compressions are very hard on one's arms and one usually tires within at least two minutes of preforming them on someone.

"Lloyd, she will be okay," Pixal said placing a hand on his shoulder. "Zane will be able to keep up the chest compressions until the ambulance arrives. He is titanium after all."

"The key to saving on from a heart attack is to keep the blood circulating," Aira said stressing the importance of blood circulation. "That's why doctors use hand-only CPR now."

"Then let's make sure that happens," Garmadon said heatedly.

"Difribulators!" Xavier shouted. "Where is Jay!"

"Brilliant!" Zane called.

"Jay! Jay!" Lloyd shouted.

"I'm coming. I'm coming," Jay said from the other room.

"Get in here now! It's an emergency!" Aira yelled.

They heard Jay's footsteps quicken. He rushed into the room. His eyes widened at the sight.

"My mom has had a heart attack!" Lloyd shouted. "Shock her!"

Jay nodded and rubbed his hands together. He placed them on Misako's sternum and sent a shock of electricity coursing through her body.

"We are loosing her do it again!" Garmadon shouted.

Jay rubbed his hands together and shocked her again. Her heart still didn't start beating. He did it a third time.

"We are loosing her!" Lloyd moaned.

"Keep trying!"

"One more time," Jay said rubbing his hands together again.

He placed his hands on her sternum and sent a large shock through her body. Had it worked?

A/n- sorry it's been so long since I updated :/ hope you enjoyed this chapter! -LL_17

P.S.- I know that was an intense moment but I couldn't help but think about Jay saying, "my hands are equipped with Difribulators." Some of you will get that reference. xD
