Zane glanced down at his shopping list, not paying very much attention to the world around him, bumping into several people. He hadn't volunteered to do the shopping for any other reason but to clear his head, but getting out of the house hadn't done much. Everyone was doing something, and their normally somewhat peaceful house was busy and chaotic. Joining forces with the new elemental masters was great, but what was it all for? Sensei Wu had always had his secrets and his reasons, but this was just confusing. What was the threat?

Bang! A loud noise echoed through the shop. Turning to find the source of the noise, Zane quickly spotted two boys, slightly older than the rest of the ninja team. 

"Fear us, Ninjago! We have a message for your beloved ninja!" The boy with brown hair spat, "The Animal Kingdom has returned!"

--------------------------------------------------------------

"The Animal Kingdom?" Kai smirked, "Sounds like a joke,"

"I don't know, Kai, they sound scary," Jay replied. Zane had just recounted the tale to the original ninja, not including Nya & Cole.

"Boys? Has anyone seen-" Jenny rushed in, her hair tied back messily with a ribbon, a thermometer at hand, looking flustered, "What's going on?"

"Do you know anything about the Animal Kingdom?" Zane asked her. Jenny went pale.

"Yes,"

--------------------------------------------------------------

"Cole?" Ana walked into the boy's room, "Cole!?" she whispered softly, surprised to find him gone, "Where are you?"

--------------------------------------------------------------

"Wu was not always my master. Before I, or even Morro, were his students, there were two boys, Felix, the master of animals, and Toby... the master of... control. I was sent to Sensei after my father died and Morro joined us all a few months later. Felix was a kind-hearted boy, and while Morro was my best friend, he was like a brother to us both. He taught me to cook and fight, never caring that I was several years younger and a girl. Toby, on the other hand, was different. His power allowed him to manipulate people, something he often did to get his way. Wu told him off, time and time again. Eventually, his powers corrupted him. And that's where my, eh, time travelling incident comes in. Panic activates the element of time, you see, and Toby turned Felix against us all one day. I panicked, watching my brother figure attack my best friend and teacher. We all got caught in the same rift, but we got separated. They've only just escaped now," Jenny explained.

"And you forgot to mention this?" Jay exclaimed. Jenny nodded, blushing.

"So what do we do now?" Lloyd asked.

"You need to-" she stopped, "Cole, what are you doing out of bed?" Jenny asked the boy.

"Nothing," he mumbled, embarrassed that he had been caught sneaking out of bed. Feeling dizzy, as he had many times since leaving his room, he gripped the door frame tightly.

"Back to bed then," she instructed, placing a hand on his shoulder, "You're still sick," Cole nodded, the dizzy feeling intensifying, watching as the world went black and his legs gave way beneath him. 

Jenny sighed as Cole crumpled into her arms. Watching as her hands lit up, she smiled at the other boys.

"Take Cristal & Nya and go find their base," she suggested, "Ana and I will take care of things here,"

--------------------------------------------------------------

"41...That's higher than this morning..." Jenny muttered, placing her hand on Cole's hot one.

"Is he okay?" Ana asked her, watching anxiously.

"Just stubborn," Jenny replied with a small smile. Ana smiled back, relieved.

"Why don't you go get started on dinner? I'll be down in a minute," Jenny told her. Ana nodded, leaving the room.

"Feel better, Cole," Jenny murmured, kissing his burning forehead gently, "Please..."


AN: And there you have it! Our lovely villains! What do you think? Sorry for the late-ish update, I had a mountain of homework. If anyone is wondering, Felix has blonde hair & Toby has brown, if you want to identify them in the picture at the top. Also, all temperatures are in Celsius, not Fahrenheit, sorry if that's confusing for anyone. Anyhow, keep reading, keep shipping, keep commenting and keep enjoying! Until next time, lovely humans,
