A/N: Heyo everybody! Ice Ninja here, and I have a fresh new chapter for you all! I got some opinions and I've come to the decision to let you all see a picture of Jackson. That's him above, his hair is a bit lighter brown, but other than that, there's Jackson for ya.😋 Also I have a new charater coming in, and everything about them (no spoilers😁) belongs to one of my very good friends. So not copying anything about them. Anyways, Pt 2 is coming soon, it's still in the writing process. Though I find this chapter to be a little short, I think it's a great intro to the next part. I think that's it for now. Thanks for reading, commenting, and voting!😊

Kai and Jay stood there awkwardly while Nya left to go put the water stone away.

“This was probably not the best idea.” Jay said sheepishly

“You think?” Jackson mused

“I would say you two screwed up big time.” Loriah said

“We get it.” Kai said with a groan

There was an awkward silence for a few minutes.

“Hey guys- you may want to take a look at this.” Nya called out over the bounty’s speakers

Confused, the four headed up to a control room, where Nya was. Already there was Cole, his hair still slightly damp; Lloyd and Zane were nowhere to be found.

“What’s wrong?” Jackson asked, beating Kai and Jay into the room by a millisecond

“This is what’s wrong.” Nya said as she pointed to the map of the stones.

They all then looked at it. The map seemed to have glitched for a moment before, almost like an invisible hand was drawing, a new image started to appear on a part of the map that had previously been blank. A weird new temple appeared. On the map it was red, blood red.

“Ok, is there something wrong with this thing?” Jay asked

Almost as if an answer to his question, writing them appeared underneath the new temple.

'The Blood Stone'

“Blood.. Stone?” Loriah said confused

Cole then looked around the room for Lloyd and Zane.

“Where are Lloyd and Zane? They’re never late for this kind of stuff.” Cole asked, not seeing either of them.

“That’s, a really good question.” Jackson said

“What are you talking about? I’m standing right next to you, Cole.”

All of them jumped.

“There’s no more ghosts, right?” Jay asked trying to find the source of the voice

“Very funny Jay. Stop messing around.” Lloyd’s voice then said

“Lloyd? Zane?” Jackson questioned

“The one and only.” both said, though nobody could see them

“Waaiiitt, how do we know this isn’t a joke?” Kai said suspiciously

“Coming from the guy who has over 20 bottles of hair gel in his room.” Zane’s voice retorted

Kai’s face then blushed a cherry red.

“Ooooo…...Zane’s got comebacks!” Loriah teased

“That’s them.” Kai said as the others sniggered

Jackson then stepped over to where he assumed Zane was, coming from the sound of his voice.

“Aw spinjitzu master.” Jackson said before he left the room for a moment

“Can you guys, you know, see us?” Jay asked

“Yeah- HOLY SMOKES!” Lloyd’s voice exclaimed

The others assumed he just now tried looking at himself

“We’re...invisible?” Zane’s voice asked confused

“Well that explains a good portion of everything. One question is how?” Cole stated just as Jackson then came back with what looked like a smaller version of a tube light.

“I may have a feeling on how.” Jackson said

“Could the lights get clicked off for a sec please?” he added

Loriah flipped off the lights, plunging the room into semi-darkness for a moment. There was then a click and a soft purple glow.

“It’s a blacklight, I want to try something.” Jackson explained

He then held the light over where he assumed Zane and Lloyd were. The two then appeared, both looking neon blue.

“And it’s what I thought.” Jackson said as he clicked off the light and flicked the regular lights.

“Uhh...what did you think?” Jay said confused

“That when what’s-his-face was on board, he stole one of my inventions. When I recount everything I thought I miscounted; clearly I didn’t have a miscount.” Jackson explained

“Did a glass jar or anything fall onto of either of you?” Jackson asked the empty space where Zane and Lloyd were standing.

“Yes, a jar shattered on top of us when we were dealing with the shadows in order to get the water stone.” Zane’s voice said

“And there was a water-like substance when it shattered on us.” Lloyd’s voice added

“Ackkk….so it was my Invisa-Water…..dang it..” Jackson muttered as he brushed his hair out of his eyes.

“Invisa….water?” Nya asked confused

“Yes, I made it a while ago. It’s a creation of my own. Whatever the ‘water’ touches, becomes invisible after it absorbs into it. I have no idea if it wears off or not because all my subjects ran off before I could see.” Jackson explained

“What were your subjects?” Loriah asked

“Ants, though I made them a big larger. ‘Bout the size of a nickel give or take.” Jackson said simply

“Alright is there any reversing this? Because the last thing we need is for Sensei Wu to find out.” Kai said

There was then a dragon roar coming from outside.

“Great! You jinxed it!” Jay exclaimed annoyed

“I’m home.” Sensei’s voice rang through the bounty

All the ninja headed out to the deck. None of them knew if Zane and Lloyd were with them or not.

“Sensei! It great to see you.” Cole said cheerfully, as if nobody had become invisible

“As to you, Cole.” Wu said kindly

The group then notice someone looking around the the deck. They were wearing a blood red ninja gi and long, black hair tied in a high ponytail.

All of them started babbling off questions

“Sensei, who is she?”

“Is she another elemental?”

“What’s her element?”

“Is she going to be staying with us?”

Wu then tapped his staff on the deck, and all of them went quiet.

“Now before I answer all of your questions, I have a question of my own for all of you. Where are Zane and Lloyd?” Sensei said with all seriousness

All of them started to fidget, unable to come up with a reasonable answer.

“Lloyd and I are right here, Sensei. We had a minor…..accident.” Zane’s voice said from behind Jay, making him jump.

“Uhh...here you two. Just so we can tell where you are.” Jackson said quickly as he then appeared behind Loriah this time, carrying two hoodies; one silver and one green.

The hoodies were then lifted into the air and slid on, showing where Zane and Lloyd were, as floating hoodies.

“Seems a lot has happened while I’ve been away.” Sensei said as he watched the two slide on the hoodies.

“Yeah, pretty much. Other than a whole broken ankle, sleeping tea, shadow fighting, and invisibility; we managed to get five of the stones though a new one appeared on the map called a ‘Blood stone’.” Jay babbled

“Ah, so it is true.” Sensei said as he looked at them all.

“Yeahhh…” Kai said, unable to figure out what to said next.

“Now that you have answered my question, I will answer yours, however I assume that she may want to introduce herself instead.” Sensei said as she gestured for the girl to come over.

“This is Crescent.” Wu stated as Crescent stood beside him.

“Hello. Sensei, I thought you said there were seven other ninja? I only see five.” Crescent said, not seeing the two hoodies behind Jackson and Loriah.

“Crescent, it seems you and I have a lot of catching up to do during our away time.” Sensei Wu said

Me: Cliff hanger...again😅

Crescent: True, but you all we'll get to know me more in the next chapter!😊

Me: Righto, Crescent
