"Harumi had a sibling?" Lloyd asked. Zane nods while showing the data to the team. "It appears that this sibling perished along with Harumi's parents. But records show that the body was not found within the wreckage." Zane explained. "But how could a dead body just up and walk away without being seen? Did it become a zombie!?" Jay asked panicking.

"Zombies aren't real, idiot. It has to be something else." Cole suggests. "But why bring up Harumi's sibling now? Harumi died because of my father's Colossus. This doesn't make any sense!" Lloyd whines. "Is someone afraid that they'll start falling in love with another person?" Kai teased.

Nya groaned as the boys continued their moment. She skimmed through the information until a pop up appeared about an elemental master was nearby. "Uh, guys?" Nya called out. She turned to see that they had left the bridge. "Guess I'll go check this out myself." She mumbled.

Following the tracker of the sighted elemental, Nya lands with grace as she found herself in an abandoned building. "Hello? Anybody home?" She called out. Nya searches the property and comes up empty handed. "Where the fuck do you think you're going? I never invited anyone to my home. I just got back from school and I find someone going through my place." A voice exclaimed.

Nya turns around to see a figure, dropping their backpack and ready to fight. "Tell me how you found this place and why you're here." The figure asked. Nya narrows her eyes and furrows her eyebrows. "Its illegal to live here. Go get a job and buy an apartment. Its dangerous in these abandoned areas." Nya states.

"I've been living here for a couple years now. Its not that I don't want to live somewhere else, its just that, I don't have the courage to move away from my old home. The buildings around here were destroyed when the Great Devourer appeared. I lost my family so fast and I can't leave. I won't leave!" The figure cried.

Nya frowns under her mask but charges forward to apprehend the figure. When the figure sidesteps, Nya growls in frustration. "What's the point of you staying here? If you continue living in the past, you'll never you'll never get to experience anything! The past doesn't define us or our future. If you come with me peacefully, I can help you get situated in a stable environment." Nya offers.

"What's the point in being a ninja if you can't protect everyone? My parents sacrificed themselves to give me a chance to live and help raise my little sister. But I haven't found her all these years and yet, people compare me to the Jade Princess. For someone who helped destroy Ninjago, I don't want any part of her life. I don't look like her and she doesn't look like me!" The figure exclaimed.

"Harumi might've done terrible things, but she told Lloyd that it was because her family died the day of the Devourer." Nya began. The figure starts to tremble before falling to their knees. "Harumi? You met my little sister?" The figure asked shakily.

Nya's eyes widened in surprise. 'This was Harumi's sibling. They don't know what happened to Harumi.' She thought. Nya nods her head. "Harumi, or rather, your sister, was the Jade Princess and The Quiet One. And to tell you the truth, Harumi is dead." Nya states.

The figure froze and the next thing Nya knew, it was a sob fest. Nya quickly went to the figure's side and started to comfort them. Similar to how she'd calm Kai down whenever he had a temper tantrum at the other boys. The figure slowly relaxed into Nya's arms, causing the Water Ninja to blush furiously under her mask.

"I don't have anyone. My family is gone. I'm all alone." The figure cried. "You aren't alone though. I'm here to help you out. I think my brother and his friends won't mind you staying with us until we get you a more permanent home. And if you want, I could enroll at your school. So I can help you out more than I can as a ninja." Nya states.

The figure silently nods, still in Nya's arms. Helping them up, Nya cocks her head to the side. "Can I see your face? I'll show mine if you show yours." Nya states. "I guess I should. Its only fair." The figure responds.

Pulling away from Nya, the figure lowers their hood and h/c falls from it. E/c eyes stare into Nya's amber ones. Nya responds by taking her own mask off. The two girls, both entranced by the other, stared. Then Nya broke the silence.

"I'm Nya. Nya Smith." She introduced. The girl gave a shy smile. "Y/n L/n. Though you knew that already, because of my sister." Y/n states. "Why don't we get your things together and head back to the monastery? I'm sure the guys are wondering where I'm at." Nya suggests. Y/n nods her head. Within an hour, Nya and Y/n were ready to go.

"Could we not tell your friends that I'm Harumi's older sister? I don't think they'd take well to me knowing that." Y/n asks. "I hear you. If they ask anything, just direct them to me. Until they're comfortable with you, we won't tell them. The only ones who'll know is us." Nya winked. "Then let's get going then. I have homework to do still and I'm not failing my favorite class." Y/n exclaimed.
