LEGO didn't show Kai's trauma after Monstrosity. That's where I come in! I got bored of watching Lego dismiss Kai's trauma all the time. So this fic will show it.
Jay still has his memories, the new ninja are not in this fic, P.I.X.A.L. is HeRe~, and same goes to that tea-addict.
Shout out to my friends who are helping me through it. This is my first fan-fic so bear with me.

The Pain Within The Flame
When Kai finally returns from the Land of Monsters, everyone expects him to come back the same fiery, fearless ninja they remember. But they're wrong. Something in him shattered out there, and now he's fighting battles no one else can see-depression that drags him down, BPD-like emotions that swing too fast to control, and PTSD that turns every shadow into a threat. He tries to hide it behind jokes, behind training, behind that trademark smirk... but cracks are starting to show. Nightmares. Anger that sparks too easily. Moments where he feels like he's slipping away from himself. And when his friends realise the truth, everything changes Lloyd won't stop worrying, Cole becomes his quiet anchor, Jay tries to bring back the light he's lost, and Nya refuses to let her brother fall apart alone. But healing isn't easy. Trust isn't simple. And telling the story of what really happened in the Land of Monsters might break him before it saves him. Because sometimes even the strongest fire burns out-unless someone is there to help reignite it. Warning ⚠️ very emotional and depressing The cover is not mine but the book is inspired from aly jxa "I'm fine,don't worry." Great book btwComplete
The time he lost
When a dangerous mission goes wrong, the ninja make a split-second decision-open a portal, stop the threat, and get out. But not everyone makes it back. Kai is left behind. On the other side, time doesn't work the same. What feels like hours to the team becomes years for him. Years of surviving alone. Years of fighting. Years of becoming someone harder... colder... and far more dangerous than they remember. So when the portal finally reopens and Kai returns, he isn't the same person who was lost. His body is marked with scars, his instincts sharper, his silence heavier. He fights like he has nothing left to lose-because, in his mind, he already lost everything. And worst of all... he doesn't trust them anymore. Because when it mattered most- they left him behind. Now the ninja face a new mission: not saving the world... but saving Kai from the version of himself that the other world created.
Land of Monsters
Spoilers for Dragon Rising Season 3, Part 2! After Lord Ras messes with the monastery portals, Jay, Kai, and Nya get stranded in the Land of Monsters-a place where literally everything wants them dead. Fighting their way through is hard enough, but each of them also has to face the "monsters" they've been trying to avoid. Nya is stuck dealing with the heartbreak of Jay's amnesia and the weight of memories he doesn't share. Kai has to relive the moments that still haunt his dreams. Jay struggles with trust, and with figuring out who he really wants to be. Between deadly battles and painful truths, the question is: can they survive this world...and themselves? (Ninjago and its characters belong to their rightful creators. The story is my own. The amazing cover art isn't mine, if anyone knows the artist, please let me know so I can credit them!)
Nightmare
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
I'm Fine, Don't Worry
Timeline not same as the show. It's totally different. --- No one knows what had happened to Kai right after the merge. They mostly just brushed it off as mystery. But occasionally, some of the ninja would ask him what happened, and he would just brush it off as "It's fine." The ninja know it's not fine. Every time Kai got asked that question or if the topic came up, he would just clam up. Wouldn't speak much. Wouldn't answer and change the subject most of the time. And if he did answer, it would just be short and irritated. But Nya senses Kai's hurt. He's traumatised, she thinks. Nya wants to find out. But the truth about Kai comes out sooner than he expected. And what about an old prophecy? Something about a fire master burning the world down. That won't happen to Kai... right? --- I don't own Ninjago Dragons Rising. I don't own the cover art Story inspired by Ninjago Monstrosity 1st in #ninjago on 30/12/25 2nd in #ninjago on 24/5/26 1st in #ninjago on 26/8/26
