For three peaceful years, the ninja finally believed they had earned the life they fought so hard to protect. Lloyd, Nya, Jay, Cole, Zane, Kai, Master Wu, and Skylor spent their days laughing, training, and living as a family. Until one mission changed everything. When an unknown enemy attacked, Kai Smith made the ultimate sacrifice, giving his life to save the people he loved. The ninja defeated the threat, but Kai's killer vanished without a trace. Three years passed, and despite countless investigations, no one ever discovered who was responsible. Heartbroken, the ninja laid Kai to rest beneath a lone blossom tree in a quiet field far from Ninjago City, where they could visit the brother, friend, and hero they lost. But death was never the end. In the afterlife, Kai is found by the mysterious green corruption-a force that twists everything it touches. Instead of destroying him, it changes him. It resurrects him, filling his body with terrifying new power. His fire no longer burns bright orange; it burns with an unnatural, haunting flame unlike anything the world has ever seen. Along with his new strength comes an impossible gift... Kai can see the souls of the dead wandering beside the living, and he can speak with them. Alone in a world that believes he is dead, Kai befriends the spirit of a brave fifteen-year-old girl who has no memory of how she died. Together, they journey across Ninjago, searching for the only people Kai ever called family. But after three years, the ninja have learned to live without him. Will they recognize the hero they buried beneath the blossom tree... or will they only see the monster death brought back?

The battle is over. The world has been saved. Life is finally returning to normal. But for Kai Smith, the nightmare never ended. Ever since returning from the terrifying Monster Realm, sleep has become his greatest enemy. Every night drags him back into the darkness he fought so hard to escape. Every shadow makes his heart race. Every loud noise reminds him of creatures that should never have existed. Kai refuses to tell anyone. He throws himself into training, laughs with his friends, and insists he's fine. Until the cracks begin to show. His temper grows shorter. His reflexes become dangerous. He starts avoiding sleep altogether, haunted by memories he can't outrun. The other ninja know something is wrong-but Kai is determined to face it alone, even as the nightmares begin to follow him into the daylight. Some monsters can be defeated with fire. Others never truly leave. Nightmares is a post-Ninjago: Dragons Rising story exploring Kai's struggle with trauma, fear, and the painful journey of learning that even the strongest ninja sometimes need help. This story is mainly Kai trauma and stuff like that but I had some ideas and just thought I would write it into a book. sorry if you're getting sick of these types of books but I find it a great comfort for me. so if you do read I hope you enjoy

(Not my art!!) Mainly oneshots of Kai because he's my fav character.

Hey guys! This is my very first Ninjago fanfiction (so please go easy on me 🙃). Jay and Nya have been in a long-distance relationship for a while, but things change when Nya, her brother Kai, and their younger brother Lloyd transfer to a new school. Read this story to find out how siblings handle change. Includes mild swearing. I don't own any of the characters - they belong to the creators of Ninjago. All photos are from Pinterest. Enjoy x Renāte

Kai had always been jealous of Lloyd. After all that kid had become the green ninja. Deep down in his heart,Kai had always kept a secret hatred for Lloyd; he should've been the green ninja, not Lloyd. Now that he had the Staff of Elements he could feel those forbidden emotions bubble back up to the surface.....

The Ninja finally put an end in the Serpentine situation, but that doesn't mean their troubles came to an end. Without Wu and having to train Lloyd all alone, they still have to deal with the remaining Serpentine, Lord Garmadon in possession of the Golden Weapons, a group of thugs with some fixation on sea creatures, evil versions of themselves, pirates... What else can appear? And even with all that, maybe the real challenge is the reality of being a normal teenager living a normal life. With new friends and new foes, the Ninja still have a lot to learn about life and themselves.

Im going to give you my ninjago headcanons of the ninja. (Also ill take request)

What happenes when Kai is in a bad state of depression because he keeps his feelings bottled up about his feelings for Lloyd. But what happens when Zane and Nya set them up on a date and Lloyds father finds out...will he be happy or will he say no. On top of that...what if there was a new person to the group? What if Kai and Lloyd bring THEM in...literally. ___________________________________________________________________________________ I really wanna inspire people to write more of these books about Kai and Lloyd. I will follow anyone who rights one and asks me to read it.

Nya Smith has never been without her brother. However, when Kai Smith goes missing, Nya has to use her detective skills along with some new friends to find him.

It was three months later when everything got turned on its head. Now there are rifts appearing out of nowhere, her portal is destroyed, and her brother is about to do something he'll never be able to take back. It was three years and everything was falling apart. His world is in ruins, he's alone and running for his life, there's a war going on, he hasn't seen the sun in months, and the kid he's been taking care of went nuts and is trying to tear apart the dimensions A sequel to Desert Kings! This won't make any sense unless you've read Desert Kings! (Like 0 sense, at all)
