Rise of the Ninjago Force

Chapter 27: Jay's Last Few Hours

(A/N: Normally, I do flashbacks in italics, but since the entire chapter is a flashback, I decided to put it in plain text)

—————

"I don't know how long I was unconscious for. But I started to hear the voice of a man I was not expecting." Jay starts to explain his disappearance.

Several Hours Earlier

"Jason." Nick's voice was slowly heard with distortion as Jay tried his best to regain consciousness, and sees a little blur of a black man. He knew it was Fury, upon hearing the voice. "Come on, kiddo, wake up." Jay then heard it very clearly as his vision became clear to see Nick knelt down to him.

Jay soon started to cough, and turned to cough out some water as Nick pats his back a bit before some men in grey tight-suits help him up. He was still completely wet and muddy from lying on the bank of the Hudson River. "What happened?" He asked, looking around a little.

Nick soon came in front of him. "The Kingpin had you thrown into the river. When I saw his forces kidnap you not long after we had just talked, we followed them to the warehouse. We got Smythe and the Kingpin, thanks to you."

"What about the other guy?"

Nick was soon confused. "Who? What 'other guy'?"

"There was another guy in there." Jay looks at his hands. "I think he has my powers now."

"That must be this Electro person." He turns to a nearby member. "Take Mr. Watson back to the Helicarrier for medical. He needs to get some rest."

"No, I need to find Nya and the others. They need to know about Electro." He prepared to take off, heading for a nearby vehicle that belongs to the agents.

"Jason, that is a S.H.I.E.L.D. vehicle you are taking!"

"I don't care." Jay immediately got in, and drove off.

"Should we follow him, Director Fury?" Coulson asked as he came up next to Nick.

"Be discreet, Agent Coulson." He replied. "He's already got enough on his plate."

"Yes, sir."

Breaking a few speed limits and running some red lights weren't what Jay was concerned about, and luckily the police didn't pursue, due to being in a government vehicle. He was concerned about Nya and the team. He thinks they don't know who their new adversary is and what he is capable of.

—————

But first, he made one stop to his parents' junkyard to change out of his wet and muddy clothes, and into his ninja suit with a blue crystal on the right side of his chest plate, puts on a replacement eyepatch and takes the Thunder Rider, leaving behind the commandeered S.H.I.E.L.D. vehicle.

—————

Once again breaking speed limits and running red lights, Jay made his way to OsCorp before eventually arriving at the front, got out, and ran up the stairs to head inside.

—————

Rushing up the stairs as fast as he could, Jay enters the penthouse, only to find it empty, TV still on, and lights not turned off. "Hello?" He asked aloud as he came into the living room. "Kai, Zane? Nya?" He started to walk along the penthouse before coming across an open door to a bedroom. "Nya?" He opens it and enters, only to find empty. "Kai?" He heads for a door to another bedroom, but finds the room empty too. "Zane?" He looks through a small gap of an open door to another bedroom, but finds it empty. He soon sighed as he came into the kitchen. "Where could they be?"
