Jay's P.O.V

1 year later

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

We had just got an SOS from an unknown elemental master. They were located on the outskirts of the city, near the slums where all the people who had lost their homes a year ago, now lived.

It was mine and Cole's turn to get them back to our headquarters safely. You might be confused. I know. It's a confusing situation. I'll explain.

A year ago, I became single once more, finally separated from that good-for-nothing cheater. But as elemental masters, it seems that the situation on which we both broke up, messed up a few of our emotions a little bit. Or a lot. Of course, being the lightning ninja, I triggered the mad lightning storm that fried many a person. Cole, was incredibly angry at She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named (I'm a Harry Potter fan, OK?) and triggered one of the worst earthquakes our world has ever seen? Cole and I were, you could say, were the second worse. Kai triggered a few bushfires, though nothing serious. Zane, being Zane remained calm. We killed people. Something that I can never shake from my mind. But as I said before, we were the second-worst.

My ex triggered a tsunami. It killed thousands. Including my father. I almost felt bad for the pain she must have been feeling. Almost. My mother could swim. I saved her. Pa died within minutes. It was her fault.

I blinked away tears. No, this was not the time. I had to save this master, that's what ninja's do.

Why did this unknown person request help? Take a guess who's fault it was. Stupid old cheater's, that's who.

After most of Ninjago's population was wiped out, the remaining citizens turned on us, all led by the newly elected, first female mayor of Ninjago City. Her name was Mayor Mari Hu. Hu so 'smartly' figured out that if one elemental master could do this amount of damage, image all of them together. So far, only the late Master of Form has died. And with it here element.

So we ninja's decided to take a stand and start a rebellion with our fellow elemental masters and the few of our supporters who remembered what we went through in order to save them. This included Master Wu, Misako, Lou (Cole's dad), Maya and Ray, my mother, the postman, Ronin, the Chief Commissioner and a few of his officers. That was about it. It wasn't much, but we were all grateful that these people had decided to aid us in our search for the remaining elemental masters.

It was incredibly cold that night. Once we found a deserted spot at the end of the border line of the city, Kai and I silently slid of our dragons as they disappeared with a 'poof.'

We tiptoed around the corner of a dark building, covered in shadow when we heard the yells of our now enemies.

"The elemental's in there, Mayor!" yelled a male voice.

Hu was here.

"Good, good. Cover all exits. Get ready to kill, if need be. I however, will have a little chat with this 'master.' Kai and I looked at each other briefly at the sound of Mari's sly voice.

"Yes, Hu. All warriors cover the exits, I repeat cover the exits!" the male voice shouted.

We heard cries of agreement as our once-friends covered the exits and surrounded the building.

"Jay, over there!" Kai whispered suddenly to me, pointing at the very back of the building.

I looked. A figure was silently slipping out of the building. They were just out of site as the citizens of Ninjago covered the spot where she was hiding.

I nodded my head towards where the figure was running off too and Kai and I followed. We had run about 400 metres when we finally stopped. They had stopped there too. They had a very feminine body, so they were actually a 'she.' She was wearing a very tatted, old suit complete with a mask which completely covered her facial features.

"Are you OK?" Kai asked.

"Come with us we ca-"I started but then that sly voice floated towards us.

"Well well well, what do we have here?"

Oh no. Mari.

"What a special present!" she clapped her hands once. Bloody hell, she's psycho.

"I thought I was just getting one elemental master, but looky here, there's three! And two ninjas! Oh, aren't I lucky!"

Hu brought a walkie-talkie to her mouth and told her army to come here to capture us.

NOT TODAY MAYOR HU.

Kai and I had the exact same thought. We conjured our dragons, and whilst we shot out fire and lightning from our hands.

Hu screamed in agony and disappointment. She fell backwards. It was just in time too, her men had started to come into view.

Kai had already taken off. Uh, he just expected me to take the survivor.

"Climb on, quick!" I rushed. She took my hand and swung herself on. She grabbed the sides of my dragon as I took off.

Once we were safely up in the air, I asked what I had been dying to ask the whole time.

"So, what's your name, and more importantly, you're element?" I queried.

She finally took off her mask. Her long black hair flew out behind her. Her sad eyes looked directly at mine.

She looked exactly the same, except she was much less cleanly and her hair was tied in one braid.

"I think you might know the answer to that, Jay," her soft but monotone voice said to me.

I looked straight ahead and choked on tears. I had to face it. She was more beautiful then ever. I still loved her. I didn't want too but, I did.

It was Nya.
