Prologue

It was a dark, stormy night in New Ninjago City. The sky was painted dark gray and lightning flashed with a roaring sound of thunder afterwards every few minutes.

Store lights illuminated inside of the darkness of the sky, and many Ninjago citizens were taking shelter in the nearby buildings.

The Bounty raced through the sky as many little pricks of rain bounced off of the Bounty's side with an annoying pattering sound. Sensei Wu, Misako, and Lloyd were the only ones on the Bounty. Cole and Zane were at Borg Industries, Jay and Nya were going on a double date with Kai and Skylor, or at least Kai thought it was a double date. The other 3 thought of it as a friendly meeting.

Sensei Wu was out on the Bounty's deck. The strong wind and raindrops did not seem to bother him. He was staring at a puddle, as if he was participating in a staring contest with the little body of water. He raises his staff and slowly slams it down of the puddle.

"It is time, isn't it?" Misako says gravely as she walks up behind Wu. Wu takes off his straw hat and places it in front of his chest, and kneels down on the cold, wet wooden deck.

"We must get as far away from Ninjago as we can. We mustn't waste any time." Sensei Wu's voice is shaking. Lloyd walks up to the deck and sees Sensei Wu kneeling down and Misako slowly walks to Lloyd.

"What is he doing? He's gonna get soaked!" Lloyd whispers once his mother reaches him.

"Lloyd, I need you to go pack." Misako says. Lloyd half laughs. "Why? We have enjoyed a great era of peace since Morro's fall. What is the problem?" Lloyd asks as he places his hand on his mother's left shoulder.

"Lloyd, this is not a time a talk. Pack. Now." Misako says harshly. She turns around and walks back to Wu while mumbling something under her breath. Lloyd was able to make out all the words. But that whole sentence made Lloyd's spine feel like it had frostbite: He is TOO strong. Stronger than the Ultimate Spinjitsu Master could ever be.

'Was she talking about me...or someone else?' Lloyd wondered. Completely forgetting about his mother's orders, Lloyd walks back into his room that he shares with the others, and falls asleep with that thought in his mind.
