Chapter twenty-seven
3rd Person POV
(Y/N) and Saber curiously watched the knights as Aaron planned to shoot fake TV footage, that Clay was still evil and had destroyed them and Fortrex. The girl was sitting on a special chair while the lion was sitting on the ground eating popcorn out of nowhere. The yellow ninja winced at the artificiality of the show.
- I really don't believe, that Jestro will belive in this.
The lion did not care and stared at the knights with his mouth full of popcorn. The director started screaming to stop and end it. He walked over to the knights, complained about them, and left. Clay came and sat on the chair next to the yellow ninja.
- We have it. -he said smiling.
The knights approached them.
- As a professional actor, I must admit that it was an impressive performance.- Lance said.
- Just Clay, you looked mega dangerous. -Axl said.
- Thanks. Aaron, what's next on your great plan? -Clay asked.
- Let's hope this report convince Jestro, that you're bad. Then you will go to him and find out what he up to.
Clay sighed. - I may be a devoted knight, but if I can spy on this... I don't know.
- Then we'll make a spy out of you. - said (Y/N).
- And I know an excellent teacher. -Macy added.
"James Bond or Fuchsia ninja?- Saber asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Oh you're talking about my highest grossing movie ,,The Knight Who Spied on Me.- Lance said.
- No, I'm talking about my dad's most important spy. About Jack Shields.- Macy said.
As if on cue, a guy in a suit appeared next to them, surprising them.
- You called? Jack. Jack Shields. - He said.
- How's that?- Robin asked.
- That's my little secret my friend. Or rather, an example of the art of espionage, that Clay would learn at the Royal Spy Academy. And now Clay Moorington follow me. - he ordered and the boy followed him.
The team wanted to follow him, but a spy stopped them saying that only Clay could go. Everyone groaned.
- Sir, I'm a ninja. Spying is my other self. - said with determination (Y/N).
- Really?- he asked, raising an eyebrow.
The girl nodded, looked at the ground and spun in the spinjitzu, dispersing the dust. When people started coughing, she disappeared. Everyone looked at the place, where the girl was standing. (Y/N) sneaked up behind Clay and Shields.
- Booo! -she said and both men got scared.
"Okay, you are indeed a spy. -said the spy.
- What can I say. I like to surprise. - she said.
Shields humed and smiled.
"A little more training and you'd be a good spy. Maybe the best in the country. Not only is she so beautiful, she is also agile. -he said with a wink at her and walked away.
(Y/N) gaped and looked at Clay. The others at that time opened their jaws in shock.
"Is... is he with you?- Lance asked.
- Was he flirting?- Macy asked.
The girl widened her eyes and blushed. Meanwhile, Lance leaned over to Aaron.
- Looks like you have competition.- he whispered to him.
The archer frowned at Lance.
- Whoever this guy is, he has no chance with her. -he whispered back to him.
The girl regained her senses and turned in the direction of the spy.
- Even if he flirted with me, there is no chance, because I already have someone special. -she said and walked away.
Clay and Macy looked at each other expressing only one thought. Saber smiled and glanced at Aaron.
"Aaron."
The said knight was shocked and then frowned. Lance saw his expression and patted him on the shoulder.
- CLAY!! ARE YOU COMING OR NOT?!- the yellow ninja asked.
"I'M GOING! - he shouted back to her and ran.
The others silently looked at each other and then at the archer, who was looking down at the ground. Macy smiled slightly and walked over to her friend.
- Relax Aaron, you still have a chance with her. - she said.
The boy looked at her in surprise. - How do you know, that I ...?
The others chuckled.
- You can see it from a distance, you don't have to be a genius to figure it out.- Lance said.
- Exactly. How do you know that the chosen person is not you?- Macy asked.
The knight looked at her in surprise. - Really?
They nodded.

(Y/N) POV
The so-called Jack Shields led us to the forest and stood by the tree, grabbing a branch. I looked at him with a raised eyebrow.
- Clay Moorington and (Y/N), you must promise on your knights code, that you will never reveal what I will show you in a moment.
"I swear I don't ... I mean, I swear I do ... -Clay stuttered.
"We swear we won't tell anyone... anything.- I finished with a sigh.
The spy nodded, tugged a branch, revealing a secret elevator. Me and Clay looked surprised. He ushered us into the elevator and we headed off. Me and the man were standing normally while moving the elevator, but Clay slid in all directions and when she stopped, he collapsed. The door swung open to reveal the enormous headquarters of agents. Squirebots could be seen everywhere, testing various tricks and deceptions of agents. The agent led us to the place where the new recruits are training, but there was only one guest.
- Most of the agents are in the field now. - he informed us.
- Fact. Stone monsters require a lot of attention.- Clay said.
- Royal interview is a specialized service. We haven't had much work so far.
- Until now. - I said.
- Exactly. You're doing great, Morty!- He turned to the recruit as he disappeared onto the rope.
- We're going to turn you into a living weapon. Attack this target please. -Shields said pointing at the shield.
Clay reached for his sword and with swift, brutal blows turned the shield to dust. I smiled broadly and Jack was surprised.
"Okay... maybe we should focus on a bit subtle area.- he said and led us to the lab.
We stood at the table where the pens were lying.
"You will need special equipment for this mission.- he said, reaching for a pen and recording his voice.
"Em no offense, Mr. Shields, but he is a knight, not a clerk or company employee.- I said and Clay nodded his agreement.
He ignored me and we walked on. We stood at the stand where the hare was standing. Me and Clay looked at each other questioningly before turning our attention to the spy.
"If you think this is just a hare, you are now looking at the latest in surveillance technology. -He said.
Goggles with a microphone appeared out of nowhere on the head of the hare and he started talking about some guy. I shook my head in surprise, and Clay smiled slightly. We walked away from the animal and walked over to the stand with the chair and mirror. The knight sat on it and the spy began to rummage in the box on the table.
Then he walked over to Clay and started putting something on his face. I tilted my head to the side in embarrassment. Clay stood up and slowly looked at me, and he had a ... fake mustache on his face to "mask" him.
I smiled broadly and put my hand over my mouth to try to hold back a laugh, but then burst out laughing. Clay looked at me seriously and I stopped laughing, but I giggled inwardly. Clay shook his head, but with a slight smile, then turned to the agent.
"But why do I change my clothes, if I'm going to infiltrate their camp as a sinister version of me. -Clay said.
The agent ignored his reply and took the knight for espionage training, and I stayed. I heard a knock on the table and then a soft ,,ouch''. I turned to see Robin, looking at me with a nervous smile.
- "H-hey... em... what's up?
"It's nice, that you ask...especially in such a normal way. -I said, rolling my eyes.
The boy laughed nervously. I smiled slightly and sighed.
"At least tell me, you took a picture of Clay with that mustache?
The boy grinned and showed me the picture of the knight. I laughed again, until I ran out of breath.
- Left this picture for me, okay?
He nodded and laughed. - Okay, now let's get out of here.
He nodded and we went to the elevator.

The knights took their mechanical armor and rushed to save Clay as his cover was exposed. I stayed in Fortrex. I was sitting on the bed reading the book and Saber was sleeping next to me. I got bored and thought ... maybe I'll meditate? I haven't done this for a long time. I left the room for a moment and came back with the white candle. I lit a wick, put it on the floor and sat cross-legged. I closed my eyes and silenced my mind. I could see the darkness until images began to appear.
First I noticed Lloyd and Misako in cages hanging over the water. Harumi was standing at the pedestal and was performing a ritual with the three Oni masks, opening a purple teardrop-shaped portal.
The next vision was Garmadon fighting Lloyd in the Kryptarium prison and Harumi was laughing wildly.
Garmadon brutally beat Lloyd and with his power threw him out of prison by breaking through the walls.
Another vision was a huge stone colossus attacking the city of Ninjago.
I saw the Destiny Bounty speeding through the city on which Kai, Jay, Cole, Zane and a baby were on board. The monster grabbed the ship in its hand and crushed it, destroying the ship completely. I heard Lloyd's scream of pain and despair, and Garmadon's dark, loud laugh.
I gasped in horror and tears began to burn into my eyes. The candle burned out and I stood up abruptly, walked over to the lion and started shaking him. The lion woke up with a grunt and when he saw my face he widened his eyes and stood up.
- What's wrong?!
Tears started running down my face. - They're dead.
-... Who?
I shook my head and gritted my teeth.
"We have to go back to Ninjago... now! -I said with a slight growl.
The lion gasped and shook his head.
- What?! But what ... what about Aya? -he asked, jumping off the bed.
I turned to the door and walked over to it.
"I don't care... -I said and ran to the main room.
3rd Person POV
The lion shook his head, thinking he was still dreaming, but looked at the floor where the candle stood.
- Well, that explains it... -he muttered and ran after the ninja.
Meanwhile, the knights returned from the action laughing and entered Fortrex, where (Y/N) was walking to the main room passing them, without a word. They looked at each other in surprise and followed her.
- Merlok! Ava! -she screamed angrily.
"What's going on? -Asked Merlok, adjusting the wizard's hat.
"Do you have any spell, that can bring me back to Ninjago?- she asked, trying her best to contain her anger.
The Merlok hummed in thought, then shook his head.
"Unfortunately ... I have no idea how. -he said.
(Y/N) growled in frustration. Knights stormed into the room.
- But maybe one by one. Why do you suddenly want to come back.- Ava said.
The knights gasped and looked at her.
- You wanna... go home? -Aaron asked, looking at her with sadness.
(Y/N) looked at him and her eyes turned from (E/C) to yellow like Clay's.
- Yes. My Realm is in great danger at the hands of an evil lord, and the ninjas ... they couldn't stop him. I have to go back there and protect the people. -she said clasping her hands into fists.
Saber ran, jumped over the knights and stood in front of the ninja.
- (Y/N), think it over... just, because you had a vision doesn't mean it will happen now. This may happen after we return with Aya and help the knights, right? -he asked.
(Y/N) frowned and glared at the lion.
- It was Saber's vision of the present!! It is happening now !! And since we're here, we can't do anything to STOP HIM!! - she screamed in a deep voice and everyone shuddered at her tone.
"But you said there were other ninja ... right?- Clay asked.
- Exactly there are others for sure ... - Saber started, but (Y/N) stamped her foot loudly, shaking the room.
"THEY CANNOT PROTECT YOURSELF!!- she said.
- Why?! They are as well trained as you are... -Saber began again.
- NINJA!! THEY ARE DEAD! SOME STONE COLOSSUS KILLED THEM!! - she screamed in despair.
Saber widened his eyes. -What?
-Yes. Only Lloyd and Nya survived, but the others ... when they were on to Bounty. The stone colossus caught them and destroyed ship, killing them.-she said despairingly, falling to her knees and starting to cry.
Saber, knights, Merlok, and Ava looked at each other sadly. Saber sighed, walked over to the girl and rested his head on her head. Aaron followed in his footsteps and hugged her. The others (even Lance) also approached and hugged in a gesture of comfort. Merlok looked at Clay and (Y/N) sad.
