But did you see the flares in the sky?

Were you blinded by the light?

Did you feel the smoke in your eyes?

Did you, did you?

Did you see the sparks filled with hope?

You are not alone

After finally getting their rest, the Ninja woke.

(Y/n) lay sprawled on the couch, while Cole slept on the floor on an inflated mattress. 

Remo was holding a camera with his tail, taking photos of himself. 

''How did he learn how to use the camera?'' Lloyd asked as he walked into the room.

''Beats me,'' Jay replied, shrugging.

''Breakfast!'' Zane called from the kitchen. Lloyd and Jay walked out quickly, and Cole and (Y/n) followed.

Across the table lay glorious food, and the ninja's bellies grumbled just at the sight of it. Sitting down, they thanked Zane for the food and immediately dug in.

Remo, spotting his favourite food, began to slither across the table, earning a few surprised gasps.

(Y/n) looked at Remo, chuckling. ''Table manners, Remo.'' She reminded the small snake.

Looking back at her and hissing an apology, he slithered off the table and went back to her.

(Y/n) looked over at Kai, who had Remo's favourite food right next to him. ''Hey, Kai, can you pass the bowl of food next to you?'' She asked.

The Fire Ninja passed it to her, earning a soft happy hiss from Remo.

The little snek- I mean snake,  began eating, grabbing the food with his small fangs and gulping it down.

After breakfast, Jay challenged (Y/n) to a game.

''You're on!'' She said with a grin, using the remote to turn on the TV.

Gayle Gossip looked back at them, in front of Kryptarium Prison.

''...Just today a well-known identity thief known as Chamille has mysteriously disappeared from her cell. There was a search for any possible escape route she may have used, but police have found none.'' Gayle Gossip said, looking serious.

(Y/n) blinked, before getting up from the couch. 

''She's no major threat, is she?'' Jay asked.

''Unfortunately, she is. She's the Master of Form.'' (Y/n) replied.

''Wait, from the Tournament of Elements?'' Kai asked.

''Yes, Kai.'' Lloyd sighed.

''How did she escape?'' Cole asked.

''That's the question on everyone's mind right now.'' (Y/n) replied. ''Right now, we don't know.''

''Then who was that person who was disguised as Wu- oh.'' Kai started, but realisation dawned upon his face once the pieces came together in his head.

''Chamille has a habit of looking like others to fool people.'' (Y/n) said, and Remo appeared on her shoulders.

''But why would she want you?'' Nya asked.

''Don't know.'' (Y/n) answered. 

Remo saw her holding the photo of Chamille in her hand. Looking away, he lightly slapped her with his tail, making her look at him.

''Remo!'' (Y/n) said, looking at him. 

''Wasn't me.'' He quietly hissed. 

''Oh, so now you're talking to me?'' (Y/n) replied. 

The others looked at her like she was crazy.

''Don't mind me, just having a pleasant conversation with Remo.'' She said, looking at them before turning her gaze back to the little snake.

''I'm still mad that you took my teddybear.'' He hissed, looking annoyed.

''That's because you ate my sandwich.'' (Y/n) retorted.

He tilted his head. ''What? It was delicious!'' 

(Y/n) shook her head and turned her gaze to the ninja, who were looking at Remo.

''Next time it'll be a giant ham sandwich.'' (Y/n) mumbled.

''Tell them how you're crazy,'' Remo said.

''I'm not crazy.'' (Y/n) replied.

''Okay, tell me what in the Underworld is going on?!'' Jay asked, looking confused.

''Nothing...'' She quietly replied.

The ninja watched as she walked back into her room with Remo.

---

Cole knocked on her door and waited.

While doing so, he whistled, before starting to dance when he saw no one watching.

(Y/n) opened the door, making him stop. 

''Nice whistling, Cole.'' (Y/n) said, making him blush.

''Thanks,'' Cole replied, rubbing the back of his neck. Remembering something he began to fish around in his pocket, while (Y/n) watched, raising an eyebrow. ''It's gotta be here somewhere...'' He mumbled to himself.

''What's he doing?'' Remo asked, appearing on (Y/n)'s shoulder.

(Y/n) shrugged.

''Hey Jay!'' Cole called out. ''Do you know where ''it'' is?'' 

''Hopefully ''it'' is not a creepy clown...'' Remo softly hissed.

''I'm betting it's something else.'' (Y/n) replied.

Jay appeared, scaring Cole.

''You're like Sensei Wu.'' The Earth Ninja said, surprised.

''Sorry.'' Jay apologised. ''I don't know where it is.'' 

Cole sighed. ''I'll go look for it.'' He then walked away from (Y/n) and Remo in search of ''it''.

''I'll help,'' Jay replied, following Cole.

---

Cole and Jay searched for ''it''. 

Jay gave up easily, while it took Cole longer before they both quit.

''What happened to ninja don't quit?'' Cole asked.

''I'm exhausted, I've searched every place to find it,'' Jay replied, sighing. 

Cole walked over to the fridge, opening it. 

Looking in his cake hiding place, he found out there was no cake.

''Who took my cake?'' Cole asked.

Jay froze with fear.

''N-not m-me...'' Jay replied, stuttering.

Cole turned to Jay, looking him in the eyes.

''It was Kai! I saw him with cake crumbs in his hand, and frosting/icing around his mouth!'' Jay said, shaking with fear.

Cole narrowed his eyes.

''Are you lying?'' He asked.

''No!'' Jay lied.

Cole turned and walked towards Kai's room, and the Fire Ninja never knew what was coming.

---

Kai was in his room, getting his ''beauty sleep''. Wearing earmuffs over his head and a sleeping mask, he was getting his rest peacefully.

Cole burst in, and Kai was still asleep, listening to classical music.

The Master of Earth stormed over to the Hothead's bed and pulled off the blanket.

Kai woke, taking off his earmuffs and hearing an enranged Cole.

 ''You took my cake!'' Cole shouted, angry.

The Fire Ninja took off his sleeping mask and widened his eyes as he saw Cole towering over him. 

He quickly jumped out of his bed, and Cole ran to block the door.

Kai got angry. He didn't take Cole's cake! His fist caught aflame, and he threw fire at Cole, who used his earth powers to deflect it, with the Fire Ninja ending up being burned by his own element.

''Not in the monastery!'' Nya said as she walked past, though smirking as she saw her brother toasted by his element.

---

(Y/n) and Remo was looking at the Illusion Ninja's photos, unaware of the chaos that reigned inside the monastery.

''So this picture shows who you really are if you tilt it?'' Remo asked, pointing with his tail to the picture.

''Yes, and only an Oni can see it.'' (Y/n) answered. Something fell out of the back of the photo, and Remo looked down.

(Y/n) looked down as well, bending down and picking it up.

It was a folded piece of paper, old and yellowed at the edges.

''Open it,'' Remo said, tapping it with his tail.

(Y/n) opened it, to reveal a map of Ninjago.

''It's just a map.'' She said, looking at it.

Remo noticed a red dot located near a forest, by the side of a mountain.

''Look,'' Remo said, pointing at it with his tail.

(Y/n) studied the map, her eyes widening once she saw what it was.

''You don't think...?''

Hehehhe 

It's been sometime

I've been struggling to write. Agh...

What do you think the map showed?
