(Third Person P.O.V)

The Ninja's were forced to sneak around the city away from their rabid fans.

Dareth had managed to get them on a tv interview show. Most of the Ninja were hoping to get the record set straight after the tabloids started printing things about them.

Kai, on the other hand, was loving the attention.

Kai winks at the fangirls in the doorway of the studio. The girls scream and try to run to him, but guards stop them."Oh my gosh, it is him!" A girl screams as the guards pull them away.

While they were waiting, Dareth whips out a magazine with the Ninja on the cover. Lloyd reads the title on the cover out of curiosity "Sensei Lloyd? But I'm only a Sensei-in-training."

"Real or not? You Ninja's are the hottest thing in Ninjago right now!" Dareth says and continues to read.

The others gather around to see what Lloyd is looking at. Nya eyes fall onto an article that Dareth is reading.

"Man-Eater Nya!?" Nya yells and snatches the magazine out of Dareth's hands. "Hey!" Dareth squarks at Nya but she ignores him.

"Nya "The Man-Eater" Smith has managed to conquest her way through two of the five Ninjas. Who will this teen succubus sink her teeth into next!" Nya read out loud.

"Hey, hey! There's the boys!" The male tv show host said to the boys but then notices Nya. "Oh, hey, It the Man-Eater. Mind sticking around for a segment to teach girls how to apply makeup?"

Nya looks, enraged. "You're gonna need makeup when I rearrange your face!" and walks over to punch the male host but Kai holds her back. Kai grunts.

"Easy! Nya!" before turning the male host and saying. "Hey! My sister maybe in-training but she is one of us now, there's no reason she should be treated differently."

"No Reason? You added a girl to the group. Do you know how much that hurts your image, kid? You're a boy band, a hunk machine!" The male co-host says in a condescending tone.

"No. We're equals." Lloyd corrects the man only to be cut off.

"Equals, I doubt that." The male co-host laughed. The Ninja's and Nya didn't see what was so funny before any of them could ask the man said. "What about that girl? What was her name?... (Y/N), you lot didn't treat her as an equal." The male co-host continued to laugh.

Lloyd's eyes filled with tears he almost went to punch the guy when a stagehand walks up to them and tells them. "Everyone. Take your places, the show is about to start." And the Ninja's were shoved on to the stage.

The male co-host is joined by his female co-host as they take their seat and do the introduction to the cameras.

"Hello, Ninjago! We're here today with the five... Ah, six Ninja's." The female co-host said with a big fake smile. The audience cheered loudly.

"Looks like our audience is really happy to have them here." The male co-host said to the female co-host who giggled at him as he continued, "Crime down. Ninja way up. Who doesn't like these five Ninjas? Correction, six."Nya pulled a real bitter face at the male co-host.

"Well, let's get down to business who wants to go first." The female co-host asked the Ninjas.

Before any of the Ninja's could raise their hand to go first the female co-host calls out. "Oh, I know how about Jay. People are just dying to know if you've forgiven Cole for betraying you with your girlfriend of the time Nya."

"Yes. I've forgiven Cole." Jay answered through clenched teeth. Jay was sick of hearing about one of the worst moment over and over again.

"Wow. That's so big of you" The female co-host said making a sweet sound and the audience awe at Jay.

"You and Nya were a real serious item when they betrayed you. That must have been so hard to take the high road." The female co-host continued to press the issue trying to get them to react.

Cole wanted to desperately disappear into the seats. While Nya had to restrain herself by gripping the seats.

"Any tips for those at home on how to cope with a spouses infidelity and a best friend's betrayal?" The female co-host asked Jay.

Jay didn't know how to answer that correctly and blurted out. "I've forgiven Cole but I haven't forgiven Nya."

"OOOOOH!" The female co-host said and the audience joined her.

"Shut your mouth, Jay." Kai quietly hissed at Jay. Jay pulled a face at Kai and Lloyd corrected him.

"Kai, love the hair. What brand do you use?" The male co-host asked with his big cheesy reporter grin.

"I use Dapper Dan brand hair gel." Kai answered giving his hair a flick and a few crazy fan girl tried to run on stage only for security to drag them off.

"So some of our studio's wonderful reporters have done some digging and found some interesting connections between the Ninja's and Ninjago's number one band the Treble Makers." The female co-host said and the Ninja's all tensed in one way or another.

"Zane, The drummer is your little brother, Echo." The female co-host continued and some of the Ninja's eased up.

"How proud must your folks be to have two famous sons."Zane looked down, covered his face with his hands and says. "My father has passed."

A collective and sympathetic. 'oh' came from the audience and Jay and Cole comfort him.

"Speaking of the Treble Makers didn't the lead singer of the band (Y/N) used to fight evil alongside you." The male co-host butted in.

The Ninja's went a little pale at the unpleasantness about to unfold. "Y-yes she di-" Lloyd was cut off.

"Well do we have a surprise for you some of our camera crew are on their way to Ouroboros right now to give (Y/N) and Echo a surprise on the spot interview." The female co-host said with an overly cheery tone.

Dareth went pale. "Oh, brick. I've got to warn (Y/N) and Echo!" Dareth said pulling out his phone to warn them but it was too late.

(Third Person P.O.V)

 Ouroboros now had a huge sign out the front of that read:

The formerly lost city of Ouroboros. Home of Jormungand and The Serpentine vehicles.

The Serpentine are not responsible if you or a loved one are eaten due to harassment, violence or stupidity. You have been warned.

Followed by a bunch of smaller signs with pictures it enforces the point.

Ouroboros was temporary being used as a base by The Treble Makers as they were practising for the Day of the Departed festival that was now only two weeks away at this point.

Though now they had some emergency house guests making things rather strenuous on the bandmates and permanent residents.

With most of the citizens of Stiix left home and job-less add that with the fact the word got around that that Ronin had been given special permission to take up temporary residence at the ancient Serpentine city, due to his job and homelessness.

A fair chunk of the citizens pleaded with the Serpentine for sanctuary during these hard times.

Which Queen Selma and King Scales agreed. As long as the human's followed to rules of the Serpentine already living there.

Hence all the new signs and tents everywhere.

Jormungand was sunbathing right now with tones of the now homeless residents of Stiix surrounding her and watching her.

A van pulled up out the front of Ouroboros, to the strange sight and Reporter, a Camera-man and a Boom Mic Operator stepped out of the news van and began to set up the live feedback to the studio.

"Do you know where the Treble Makers are?" The Reporter asks one of the people watching Jormungand sunbath.

"In the main stone structure." A man says gruffly over his shoulder to them.

"Remember, to behave yourself, they're letting us stay here since we have nowhere to go. So don't upset them." The gruff man still hasn't realised that the reporter and the crew weren't fellow former residents of Stiix.

(Third Person P.O.V)

Back at the studio everyone was watching the live feed and watching the Ninja's reactions.

The two co-hosts are whispering back and forth with themselves and the Ninja's get a bad feeling when they see Dareth's face, as he desperately dialled away on his phone.

(Third Person P.O.V)

The Treble Makers had finished setting up. Ronin was sitting off to the side watching them with a dopey smile on his face.

Ronin had to admit he was starting to gain a decent sized soft spot for (Y/N).

(Y/N) still innocent to personal interactions that weren't harm based, hadn't noticed.

Though it had not gone unnoticed by the Serpentine who were watching them carefully.

Chokun, Lasha, Snappa and Mezmo were giving Ronin watchful looks every now and then.

While (Y/N) and Echo were talking to one and other. The four of them whispered amongst themselves.

"He's not good enough for her." Lasha quietly hissed to Mezmo. "I agree. But it is her disposition if she ever notices someone and decides to date them." Mezmo retorted doubting that (Y/N) would even notice anyone in that way.

"No one is good enough. But in retrospect, he's not the worst she could choose as a partner." Chokun said adding in his opinion.

"Yeah, it could be worse if those Ninja's still had any chance." Snappa snorted and all of them started to chuckle.

"Everyone ready?" (Y/N) asked and everyone quickly took their places. Her eyes hadn't stopped glowing since the fight with the Preeminent making the Serpentine slightly more protective of (Y/N).

"Ok, let's try a warm-up song first then move onto rehearse." (Y/N) instructed then began to sing.

The Reporter and his camera crew snuck in unnoticed as the Treble Makers were warming up and continued the live feedback to the studio.

Lyrics:

Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh

Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh.

I wish there was another way out!

Voices won't go away, they stay for days and days,

They say some awful things, ways to make you fade away.

I don't think there's a way home and I'm just here alone.

You better find an out, before I find you first!

Better run, better run, better run.

Yeah. I'm coming after you, yeah, there's nothing you can do

There's no place you can hide, because I'm coming after you.

I wish there was another way ou-ou-ou-ou-out for you,

I wish there was another way ou-ou-ou-ou-out for you.

I wish there was another way out!

(Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh.)

I wish there was another way out!

(Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh.)

I wish there was another way out!

Go on, check and see. No one cares less than me.

Dead wrong I guess you'll be. These voices won't let you leave

Got you down on bending knee, What should my next weapon be?

It's over. You can't win. Just sleep now, rest in peace.

Better run, better run, better run.

Yeah, I'm coming after you, yeah there's nothing you can do.

There's no place you can hide, because I'm coming after you!

I wish there was another way ah-ah-ahah-ah-ah-ahah out for you,

I wish there was another way ah-ah-ahah-ah-ah-ahah for you.

I wish there was another way out!

(Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh)

I wish there was another way out!

(Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh)

I wish there was another way out!

Break you down, now put it back together again,

I'll break you down, now put it back together again.

Break you down, now put it back together again,

I'll break you down, now put it back together again.

I wish there was another way out!

(Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh)

I wish there was another way out!

(Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh)

I wish there was another way out!

"Hey! Who are you guy's!?" Ronin yells pointing at the Reporter and the two crew members who had snuck in uninvited.

The music comes to an immediate halt. "Are they from Stiix?" Chokun asked looking the three intruders up and down.

"I don't think so." Snappa says though unsure humans did look peculiar to him.

"They most certainly are not, I made sure to personally greet every refuge from Stiix myself and I've never seen them before." Ronin says and helps Lasha, Mezmo restrain the intruders.

While Snappa and Chokun take the camera and Boom Mic. The Live feed still rolling, with Chokun trying to inspect the camera before trying to eat it.

"Chokun! Don't eat that!" (Y/N) hissed at him, while taken the camera out of his mouth.

"Alright, who are you, people!" (Y/N) demanded as she stuck the moist camera under her arm while she integrated the intruders.

The shouting had drawn a small crowd of the former residence of Stiix into the room.

"We're here to do a surprise video for the Ninja's we were hoping you'd give us a few words." The Reporter said nodding to the camera.

No one else but the camera crew had realised it was broadcasting live.

"Oh no, You keep those awful people out of all of our lives." (Y/N) growled at the camera crew.

"Awful? How?" The reporter asked still doing his job despite the awkward conditions they were all in.

"That crazy girl ninja Nya tried to kill (Y/N) and when that didn't work she tried to frame (Y/N) and get the other elemental master to kill (Y/N) for her!" Mezmo shouted as Echo took the device from (Y/N).

(Third Person P.O.V)

At the studios, the studio lights were all centred on Nya as the audience let out a horrified gasp.

Nya sank deep into her seat. All eyes on her. Judging her for her wicked actions.

"OMG. This is ratings gold! Keep it up." The female co-host said into her earpiece encouraging the Reporter to continue to dig up dirt.

"This will not end well." Zane said as the Ninja's watched the trainwreck of an interview continue.

(Third Person P.O.V)

Unnoticed by everyone who was to busy yelling at the intruders to pay attention to anything else right now.

Echo had innocently started to film for the camera crew, once he realised what the device was in an attempt to help.

"Hey, Skylor said sorry for taking part in that. But in her defence, it was all Nya's fault and she was forced to play along because of her father." Ronin said worrying what (Y/N) might do.

"Don't worry Ronin if anyone knows what it's like to be enslaved under the rule of an evil person from the start of your life. It's me. I'm ready to just let things go with your friend and leave it at that." (Y/N) reassured Ronin.

"Elemental Masters," Mezmo spat as though he'd accidentally swolled garbage. "Nasty human's. Worst of the worst."

"Hey, if it makes you feel better Skylor told me while (Y/N) was rescuing Dareth. Cole and Jay humiliated Nya by ruining her plan to make them fight for her love through becoming friends again." Ronin said with a pleasant smile.

(Y/N) just shrugged. "Makes me feel a little better." Lasha said out loud.

"And it got even worse when Jay told everyone that after Nya cheated on him he fell in love with someone who helped him recover for both Cole and Nya's betrayal."

"Good for him getting out of that toxic relationships." Snappa said nodding his head.

"Not exactly, according to Skylor. Cole got really mad when he found out who it was that helped Jay cure his broken heart. Apparently, Cole had a secret crush on the same girl and it broke out into a huge fight that destroyed a building."

"Poor girl, that can't be good. Bet Nya tried to kill her too. Doubt she was willing to lose out to someone who actually cared about one of those boys." Chokun laughed and the others joined in.

"Um, Mr Chokun I think that girl Ronin is talking about is your lead singer, (Y/N)." The Reporter said and it dawned on all of them, stopping the laughter.

(Third Person P.O.V)

Jay just pulled his ninja hood over his head to hide the ever growing blush on his face. As the audience screams in delight at the newfound love triangle.

 Nya just turned a delightful shade of red from rage.

Cole, however, turned invisible and reappeared. "Whoa. Did you see that? I disappeared! I mean, did you not see me?" Cole asked Zane excitedly.

"Skylor gets forgiven but not us. So unfair." Kai pouts. "We've known (Y/N) longer."

 (Third Person P.O.V)

While the Serpentine a screaming that they will never let those dishonourable people anywhere near (Y/N) ever again.

Ronin noticed what it was Echo was playing with and asked."Um, just who in Ninjago are you people?"

"We're reporters here to do a Live interview. Didn't anyone tell you we were coming?" The reporter asked looking between all the people in the room hoping someone knew who they were.

"That's Live isn't it." Ronin said pointing to the device and the Camera crew all nodded yes.

"Live? Hey, I've got a few things to say to those fruit-coloured bozos. They destroyed our village, act like they saved the place, and then go around pretending to be heroes." One of the former residences of Stiix shouted into the camera.

"They're the real villains around here." Another shouted. "If it wasn't for the Serpentine we wouldn't even have a safe place to stay, The ninjas haven't even apologised to us, let alone make amends for the damages they caused..." The Live feed cut to static.

(Third Person P.O.V)

"It appears we've lost the feed... But don't worry folks Ninjago is never safer because they are here," The male co-host said.

"Hiding in plain sight waiting to defend us from wherever evil lurks... Wait. Where are the Ninja's?" The male co-host said realising that the Ninja's had left, forced to escape the studio from the rabid mob of fans.

(Third Person P.O.V)

The next day aboard the Destiny's Bounty 2.0 wasn't too great for the ninjas.

The Postman was peddling as fast as he could to make the wings to flap as he followed after the Destiny's Bounty 2.0 to deliver the Ninja's mail.

The Postmail landed on the deck. "Mail!" Kai, Jay, Lloyd and Cole shout as they all run excitedly to greet the postman. Zane politely greets the man.

The Postman pants heavily as Sensei Wu passes the Postman a cup of tea, which he quickly chugs down then begins handing out people's mail.

"Let's see. Jay's fan mail." The Postman says holding up a large bundle of letters tied together with twine. Jay grabs the large bundle of mail from the postman. "And package for Jay from the Doomsday Comic's." The Postman says hold up a thin package.

"Yes, the latest issue of Fritz Donnegan I ordered." Jay said excitingly, quickly getting the package and rushes off to open it.

"Zane's fan-mail and a package from Cyrus Borg." The Postman says handing them out. "Thank you." Zane replied taking both packages.

"This must be the Ninidroid Chess I inquired about." Zane said inspecting the box.

 "Cole's fan-mail and a letter for Cole from his father." The Postman says handing them to Cole. "My dad, hope everything is ok." Cole said taking his letters.

"A package for Sensei Wu from Mistaké's Tea Shop." The Postman says and Sensei Wu thanks him. "Ah, this must be my new tea's I've ordered." Sensei Wu says going to try his new tea's.

"Here is some fan mail for Kai." The Postman says holding up a large bundle of letters Kai grabs a huge bundle of mail. "Thanks." Kai said, with that, he hurried to his room to read them.

"Lloyd's mail." The Postman says hand Lloyd a humungous about of letters. "Thanks." Lloyd said taking it off the man.

"Um, did you manage to give (Y/N) my letter?" Lloyd asked hopefully. The others pretended that they weren't listening in to see if the letter got through to (Y/N) or not.

"I'm sorry." The Postman says handing the letter back with a Serpentine stamp on it and the words returned to sender. Lloyd's face fell.

"I know you've all tried to send her letters but the Serpentine cheek all her incoming mail and they've become extra protective of late. Echo's too. That's how they found this letter." The Postman explained to the Ninjas.

"It was worth a try, to ask my brother to give it to her in my letter. Sorry, Lloyd." Zane said putting a hand on Lloyd's should to comfort him. Lloyd nods and walks off.

Kai had been listening through the door and let out a bitter sigh, he was hoping Lloyd's plan would have worked. He would gladly give up all the attention given to him by his fans just to have the attention of (Y/N), but until that happen he'd just have to console himself with the attention of his fans.

"Nya's *Cough* mail." The Postman said and held my a smelly pile of mail, Nya just face palmed.

 Nya was receiving bucket loads of hate mail on a daily bases. Nya began muttered something about how childish people were as she took the mail to dispose of it.

"Hold on, there is one more." The postman said. All of the ninja's presents looked confused, they weren't expecting any more letters or packages.

"And mail just addressed to the bounty and or the Ninja." The postman finished and dumped a whole bunch of new magazines onto the deck of the bounty. Much to everyone's cringing.

"I'm going to go now, these won't deliver themselves you know. Goodbye." At those words, the Postman took off to continue his job, leaving the ninjas with to sort through the magazines.

"So... What are they saying now?" Jay suddenly asked, breaking the silence.

Zane handed Jay one to read the text for himself. The magazine cover was Jay and Cole on each side of a heart with (Y/N) within it.

Cole and Jay paled at this. Cole quickly walks off while Jay looks anywhere else he can. Zane sighs and turns to Jay. "You two still haven't talked about have you?"

"And ruin our friendship? No thanks. Nya did enough damage to that already." Jay defended. "Besides we all agreed not to fight over it till (Y/N) is friends with us again." Jay said and stormed off.

Zane began to gather up the magazines and sorting them into piles. 'Jay vs Cole' in one pile. 'Sensei Lloyd' into another.Zane gave to piles a worrying look.

One was all about Nya that were defiantly going to set Nya off.

One headline read: Man-Eater Nya's next victim... A Girl?

Another read: Nya plots to kill lead singer of Treble Makers. "If I can't have them no one can!" An obvious fake quote from Nya.

While the other pile was about Stixx.

 A headline read: Citizens of Stixx left homeless taken in by Serpentine.

But one had caught his eye Zane picked it up.. Treble Makers to share the ancestral home with less fortunate. The Treble Makers were on the cover helping citizens of Stixx.

Zane opened it and began reading the article:

With many of the citizens of Stixx now left Homeless by the ghostly attack of Ninjago leave many with a safe place to sleep one unlikely group has stepped up to save the day the Serpentine.

The Serpentine have opened up their ancestral home Ouroboros to the residence of Stixx. Though Ouroboros already has so permanent residents they don't seem to mind sharing with those less fortunate souls.

One Serpentine quoted saying. "We know what it is like to be robbed of your homes by the actions of others."

These former residences of Stixx seem to be settling in nicely with Treble makers also living at Ouroboros.

One former residence of Stixx told us: "That they are so kind especially to the orphans. The Treble Makers lead singer even sings them all to sleep every night just so they won't have a nightmare."

The picture next to the article was a photo of (Y/N) playing her guitar for some children a little white-haired girl cuddled into her side while (Y/N) played for them.

Zane let out a heavy sigh he missed (Y/N) very much. So did all of his brothers... Zane looked down at the magazine looking for any info on Echo.

Zane thought back to when they had been in the Tomb of the First Spinjitzu Master and witnessed the reflections of their future selves. Echo had been there talking with him so had (Y/N).

They hadn't looked much older then they did now so all Zane could do was wait to see what the future would bring.
