Ninjago: Civil War

Too Late To Turn Back

With Jay

They always say that time is precious if you know how to use it. That you cannot turn it back, but you can move it forward. Like it always is wanted to keep going. 

But like the movement of your heart, time stops. When the world turns on you and who you are. When you are stuck with the memories of your past as they slowly start to creep up on you.

That was what I was feeling right now. 

I grabbed my head in pain as I felt the memories of Nadakhan rush in like a wrecking ball. I remembered our time together. I remember how he picked off my friends one by one until I was all alone. I remembered how he would leave me when I was completely broken. I couldn't help the tears that streamed on my face as the pain became too much to stand. I wanted time to just stop.

I wanted my Friends. I wanted my Family. I wanted the feeling of security. That thought that everything was going to be all right in the end. I had the life of a Ninja, and it was just like a hurricane.

The thought that you are in the eye of a hurricane when all is calm and quiet where you don't have to do anything. Then when you are in the sense of battle with your villains or enemies. That is the storm of a Hurricane. That was when all the damage was hitting you like you were standing on burning rocks.

I wanted my family to understand all the pain that I was holding onto so that they didn't have to deal with more. The thought that I was always there for other people, and no one was there for me. Isn't the saying what you do always comes back to you?

I took a deep breath and sighed. 

What was I going to do?

With Nya

I left the argument some time ago in hopes of finding some sort of peace. I went into my room and looked out the window. 

I saw Zane walking away from the Lake with a sad expression. What happened over there?

Then it hit me. Zane was with Jay. Jay who was pushing himself away from everybody in hopes of protecting them all. Probably from Nadakhan no doubt.

It burned my skin at the thought of Jay. I couldn't let myself get close to him again because I would just hurt him. Hurt him again for the millionth time. I couldn't get close to any of them. 

I felt a tear roll down my cheek. I was not going to even try to stop it. True warriors don't always win. True Warriors always learn something new. I have learned that I am a monster. I am still not a True Warrior as much as I try to be.

With Zane

I couldn't help but feel sorry for Jay. He has gone through so much for what? For the past to come back and haunt him? For us all to blame him for a team mistake? It only made me wonder what other things he has had to go through.

I felt the rain start to drop on my head. I knew that this was a sign. A sign that the worst is yet to come.

My only hope is that we will have figured out who we are as a team when that storm hits.

With Jay and The Arguing Trio

Jay having walked in some time ago, watched the fight that was presented before him. The insults were mean beyond compare, but it was hysterical. Jay watched as Kai decided it was a good idea to challenge the Earth Ninja. Jay watched as Kai flew across the room.

Jay, after running out of his popcorn, decided to put in end to it. He held his hand up in the sky and waited for the lightning to run into his finger tips. Then, Jay slammed his hand into the ground. The power was out.
