Nobody's gonna get me on another rap
So look at me now
I'm just makin' my play
Don't try to push your luck, just get out of my way

(Y/n) put on her motorcycle gear, with leather gloves, biker vest, a black leather jacket and her helmet.
She glanced over at the other bikers, who were mounting their motorcycles, with a familiar symbol that was also seen on the day of the Ninjaball Run.
''Foxglove, are you okay?'' Asked a guy with white hair. The girl nodded in reply, keeping her gaze away from the fellow biker.
The bikers single filed out of the space, driving through the streets of Ninjago City. Soon, they stopped at the noodle house, which had Mr Chen on the front, eating a bowl of noodles with chopsticks.
Walking in, the smell of warm and well-cooked noodles filled the hungry biker's senses, who sat down near the conveyor belt, staring at the plethora of delicious food.
(Y/n) sat by herself, eating food that suited her appetite, slightly annoyed by the noise of the others slurping their food.
''Would I be wrong to say Chen's food is the greatest food in existence?'' The white-haired guy asked the others, picking up a piece of sushi and tossing it into his open mouth.
She flinched, remembering him. He made the best food, a taste of goodness to die for. Continuing with her meal, she pushed the feelings away, not letting the others see that she still grieved for who they called the enemy.
The doors to the restaurant opened, with two ''thugs'' walking in. The other bikers turned to see them, before continuing with their conversation, as they weren't one of them.
However, the thugs noticed (Y/n), who looked back at them with a challenging glare. One smirked before the two disappeared via a back door.
Remo appeared, and one of the bikers noticed. ''Hey, I thought you knew the no-snakes rule?'' He asked, stopping the girl before she could follow the two that were gone.
''New rule: I don't care.'' (Y/n) replied, turning away and following the thugs.

The back door led to a narrow alley, and at the end was a candle-lit shrine, with a single fortune cookie seemingly waiting there for her.
Her pursue was all but forgotten as she picked up the moon-shaped cookie, and opened it, to see a small scroll of paper fall out. Bending down and unrolling the paper, she read it:
Master Chen has personally invited you to participate in his Tournament of Elements. Secrecy is of the utmost importance. Tell no one, or suffer the consequences. If you ever want to see your friend again, meet on the pier at midnight and leave your weapons behind.
She looked up at the shrine, which had a drawing of the Ice Ninja, Zane. A dagger held up the paper, and (Y/n) took it, pocketing it for later.
'Are you sure that's a good idea?' Morro questioned, making her move her arm without her permission and bringing the small paper scroll up to view.
'I would've planned if I had known, but this Master Chen is clever, he gives barely any time for me to plan things unless it's packing bags.' (Y/n) replied, putting the fortune down, where it poofed in a cloud of smoke.
Remo's eyes widened, looking at the spot where it once was. The girl grabbed her small bag, which had a fox symbol on the front, as well as an orange white-tipped leaf attached to one of the zippers.
Walking away and glancing back at the shrine, she went through the back door only to find the others gone. They had left a mess, spilt noodle bowls and half-eaten dumplings, the remains of an intense food fight.
Watching her steps, she carefully made her way out of the restaurant, seeing the bikers already mounted on their bikes and turning their heads to look at her once she appeared.
Putting on her helmet, she mounted her motorcycle and revved the engine to let the others know they were good to go.
White-haired dude led the bikers away from the restaurant, passing the Titanium Ninja statue, and as she passed, she made herself a promise.
'I will make Chen pay.'

At the boat docks, the ninja stood to wait for the ferry.
''Ah, I told you we shouldn't have worn them. The Tournament of Elements. You think all of them have powers like us?'' Kai asked as he looked at the others.
''When I asked my dad about it, he got really suspicious. Like there's something he's keeping from me.'' Lloyd replied.
''The fortune cookie said tell no one or else there'd be consequences,'' Cole told him.
''Relax, we're cool.'' The Green Ninja replied. A ferry pulled up, appearing out of the fog.
Two of the people from earlier grabbed a plank and put it down, so a man with black slicked-back hair and a moustache could walk across to meet the group, his arms behind his back as he approached.
''Watch your step, madam.'' The man said, and a girl in an orange hood looked at Kai and smiled. The Fire Ninja smiled dreamily back, sighing.
''We can't let anything distract us. You hear me, Kai?'' The Green Ninja asked the distracted Kai, who didn't try to listen.
''Uh? Uh, yeah. Uh, got it. Whatever you said.'' The Fire Ninja replied, not listening to his words.
''Master Chen will be charmed to see you've accepted his offer. A Master of Spinjitzu shall fare favourably in his Tournament.'' The slicked-back hair dude told Jay, stopping him.
''Hey, we're not here to fight. We're here to save a friend.'' The Lightning Ninja replied.
''Don't be so petty, Master Jay.'' The man replied, reaching into his bag and pulling out his nunchucks. ''Everyone here has something to fight for.''
''Chopsticks. I'm a big eater, heh.'' Jay replied, gulping when the man threw his nunchucks into the water.
''Lloyd, wait! If you get on that boat, you may never return.'' Garmadon called out to his son, walking towards him.
''What are you doing here, Dad?'' His son asked.
''Master Chen is a dangerous man who should never be trusted. Whatever he promised you, do not believe him.'' His father replied.
''Lord Garmadon. It's been a while. It's Sensei now, correct? I can't remember.'' The man with the slicked-back hair said, turning away to face the ferry.
''Clouse. I see Master Chen still has you running his errands.'' Garmadon replied, a hint of disgust in his voice.
''I have to go, Dad. This is about Zane. It's about family. If we're ever going to be whole again, I have to get on that ship.'' Lloyd told his father.
''Last call. Are you in, or out?'' Clouse asked.
''I can't stop you, son, but I can join you,'' Garmadon told his son as he turned to get on the ferry.
''Sorry, no more room on the ship,'' Clouse said, making the two thugs pull the plank off the dock.
''No room?'' Garmadon asked. He jumped onto the end of the plank, letting it fall in the water and kicking a thug into the water.
''I stand corrected. There's room now.'' Clouse replied, looking at Sensei Garmadon.
''Don't worry, I'm not here to compete. Only to look out for my interests.'' Lloyd's father told him, putting his hand on his son's shoulder.
''Let's ship out!'' Clouse shouted.
There was a rumble of an engine in the distance, and soon, a black motorcycle with purple and red designs on the side appeared, driving down the dock towards the ferry.
Clouse seemed to be unfazed by the newcomer's arrival, watching as the motorcycle crossed the gap between the docks and the ferry, and landed, skidding to a stop.
Taking off their helmet, it was revealed to be (Y/n), wearing black leather. She then pushed a thug off the side, making them fall into the cold water.
The Master of Dark Arts then did the same to her motorcycle, pushing it off the side of the boat. The girl turned to look at him with a glare, and he smirked, walking away from her with his hands behind his back.
Smiling as they saw her, the boys knew they had missed the girl and Zane. Lloyd hugged her, squeezing her tight before letting go.
(Y/n) chuckled. ''I thought Cole was the hugger.''
The Green Ninja smiled sheepishly. ''I can be a hugger too.''
As the ferry headed out to sea towards Chen's island, the ninja watched the other Elemental Masters display their powers.
''You know him. You said his name's Clouse.'' Lloyd said to his father as Clouse walked past.
''Don't be fooled by his attire. He is a Master of Dark Arts and Master Chen's number two.'' His father replied.
''Huh, I thought Master Chen's number two was an eggroll and fried rice,'' Cole said.
''Why haven't you or Wu ever told us there are others with powers like us?'' Kai asked.
''Because there are some things we don't want you to know. You were led to believe you were special, yet you never questioned where your powers came from.'' Garmadon answered.
''Uh, are you implying that I'm not special?'' Jay asked, glancing at (Y/n), who shrugged.
''Everyone on this ship is a descendant of an original Elemental Master.'' The former evil lord answered.
''Elemental Master? Who were they?'' Lloyd questioned.
''They were the First Spinjitzu Master's guardians, each endowed with an Elemental Power that has passed down through generations,'' Garmadon replied.
''If that's true, then so is my sister Nya. But she can't do what I can.'' Kai said, and (Y/n) thought of the prophecy scroll, the picture she and the Samurai Girl looked at before it disappeared in a flash of light.
''Can't she? Power lies in all of you. It only needs to be awoken. The fighters here serve no master and have managed to unlock their own True Potential.'' Garmadon told him.
''For instance, that Paleman.'' They looked over at a guy with seemingly no head, and with floating hat and glasses. '' A distant relative to the Master of Light. Watch closely and you'll see how he's stayed hidden all these years.''
He then disappeared, surprising the boys. Someone ran past, leaving a trail that quickly disappeared. ''Then there's Griffin Turner. Grandson to the Master of Speed.''
''Hey, you can't lay a hand on me. I'm faster than fast. Swifter than swift.'' Griffin boasted, running around the ferry.
''Uh, Master of Speed? Pfft. That's not an Element.'' Jay said, leaning on the side to look up at him.
''So asks the Master of Lightning,'' Garmadon replied.
''Oh, snap, he got you there,'' Cole said, walking past the Lightning Ninja.
''And, uh, who's she?'' Kai asked, looking at a girl in an orange hood.
''I don't know. Most of these people I have not seen. But they will all be gunning for you. You are Ninja. You serve with honour. Here, that means very little.'' Garmadon answered.
(Y/n) was tapped on the shoulder, and she turned around to see herself, before the disguise melted away, to reveal Cami, or rather, Chamille, Master of Form and (Y/n)'s sister.
''Wondering when you'd show up, didn't expect you to be on a motorcycle, you usually have the lamest of entrances,'' Cami said, directing her sister away from the other ninja.
(Y/n) rolled her eyes, looking over the rail at the water. ''So I'm guessing you were the one on tv?'' She asked, not meeting the purple-haired girl's gaze.
Her sister smirked. ''You must be a good detective.''
Remo appeared on the Orange Ninja's shoulder, glaring at Chamille. The Master of Form glared back, and the two had an intense glare off. The little snake won by simply flickering his forked tongue, making (Y/n)'s sister blink.
Clouse watched from afar, looking at the silver snake interested.
'That creep is watching you.' Morro told (Y/n), who turned to meet Clouse's gaze. The man turned and walked away, disappearing from view.
